Posted by: pudinhead at January 21, 2026 09:34 AM (pLaQB) The Morning Report — 1/21/26![]() Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used legislation passed as part of the post-Civil War “Jim Crow” laws Tuesday to justify a Hawaii gun control law. The Supreme Court heard a case challenging legislation passed by the Hawaii state Legislature after the Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. Jackson questioned United States Principal Deputy Solicitor General Sarah Harris regarding the constitutionality of a law that prohibited concealed carry permit holders from carrying a firearm on private property without permission. . . “So I guess I really don’t understand your response to Justice Gorsuch on the Black Codes,” Jackson, a Biden appointee, told Harris. “I mean, I thought the Black Codes were being offered here under the Bruen test to determine the constitutionality of this regulation. And it’s because we have a test that asks us to look at the history and tradition.” “The fact that the Black Codes were, at some later point, determined themselves to be unconstitutional doesn’t seem to me to be relevant to the assessment that Bruin is asking us to make. So, can you say more about that?” Jackson continued. “Things I didn’t have on my bingo card today: Justice Jackson defending the racist Black Codes as precedent for what we should consider constitutional,” Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network posted on X.A complete and utter debasement of anyone and everyone who ever suffered under the Democrat Jim Crow laws. Of course the bitter irony of this, to anyone with a conscience and an iota of moral rectitude is that it comes close on the heels of the birthday of Dr. Martin Lather King Jr. (yes I am well aware of Dr. King's failings as a man and his ties to communism, yet his beliefs and words are what matter most, especially in light of the fact that the racialist-Left are now embracing anti-white/American/Judeo-Christian evil as a means of destroying this nation and attaining absolute power, but I digress). And how does this square with Michelle Obama demanding a boycott of white-owned businesses? I'm so confused! Yes, Kentanji Brown-25 is indeed an intellectual lightweight if not a dolt whose career achievements are based solely on the content of her melanin and XX chromosomes, certainly not her brain case. But this is not stupidity on her part. This is pure political expediency on her part. She will debase herself if it helps put a torpedo into one of the key pillars of the Bill of Rights. She knows enough to know that because she's black and female, and that she has a propaganda machine fully in her corner, no one will dare question her lest they be labeled racist and sexist. In fact, I'm waiting for the usual suspects to call her citing of Jim Crow laws as some sort of brilliant judicial masterstroke. Chuckle-worthy that the case in question comes out of Hawaii, insofar as we are always quoting noted Hawaiian justices Buch M. Danno, Moe Loki and Mac A. Damia, who no doubt will be weighing in on this next item to give Kristi Noem a whack on the knuckles. Arrests are coming soon in the investigation into an anti-ICE mob that crashed a Sunday morning service at Cities Church in St. Paul, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem appeared on Newsmax on Tuesday evening and said that arrests would begin “in the next several hours.” The secretary also said that ex-CNN host turned YouTuber Don Lemon could face charges for his involvement in the church protest as well. “There will be arrests tied to that, and people will be brought to justice for how they violated the law in that situation,” said Noem. Noem suggested that Lemon’s claim to have only been a bystander and journalist during the incident at Cities Church is belied by the foreknowledge he had of the demonstration and relationships has with activists involved. “The fact that ahead of time, before this even happened, he said that he had conducted some surveillance before they went into this church, he identified individuals that were going in with him that were activists in the work that they had done in the past, the fact that this entire situation was then posted on the Black Lives Matter website, all of that is something that they’re going to be responsible for,” said Noem.While the left yawns if not applauds Brown-25 Jackson invoking Jim Crow laws to dismantle the Second Amendment, Their heads will explode when Noem goes after the terrorists who invaded that Minneapolis Church with the FaceAct and anti-Klan laws! Oh how delicious! Let's face it, it was an act of terrorism straight up. The terrorists themselves even crow (not Jim) about making people feel uncomfortable, about ICE or whatever the issue du jour may be. Let's take it a step further — what if one or more of the scum were armed? If Renee Good could use her SUV as a weapon and if a transexual could shoot up a Catholic school and mow down innocent children, then that Church in Minneapolis could've been the sight of bloody carnage. And given who and what we are dealing with, it may yet happen. What happens when the Einsatz-Groupies of Hamas along with Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' untold number of Afghan/Taliban asylum-seekers join forces with the Anti-ICE crowd and waltz into another church or synagogue in the Twin Cities to raise a few pulses?! Speaking of terrorists and those who give them aid, comfort and support: Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) defended the group of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a St. Paul church on Sunday, telling former CNN host Don Lemon—who accompanied the agitators and boasted of conducting "reconnaissance" ahead of the stunt—that critics of the incident were "getting tender about a church service." Ellison appeared on Lemon's YouTube show on Monday to discuss the protest, in which Lemon accompanied Minneapolis attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, and other activists on "Operation Pull Up," the Washington Free Beacon reported. The group disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul based on the belief that a pastor there works for ICE, shouting "ICE Out" and other slogans. The only thing that should be tender, is the skin on Ellison's neck after he's been sent to GITMO for an extended waterboarding session. This evil bastard. That's all I'll say. Elsewhere, Air Force One was forced to turn back to Andrews AFB due to some potential electrical system snafu, while on its way to Davos for that WEF conference. Feh.

How does MN's "Duty To Retreat" work in the case of BLM gunmen in the church sanctuary? Would those defending themselves, their family, and the assembly be charged criminally if they neutralize the threat? Or are they expected to die for the cause? This is important, because I don't know what the law requires for body count and casualties before a sheep dog can be let off the leash.

I understand people can get kind of testy here ( Me too) and this is not directed to you, MP4, but the "mind reading" here ( "you think this. You think that" ) when that may not be the case at all, as well as the insults towards people on the same side politically does get to be a bore.

People will say this retardery is because she's a DEI hire. Which she is, she doesn't belong on the bench. But that's not why she making an argument offensive to blacks.
All of them do this, and this is a pretty mild example, frankly. Leftist men will make vicious, blanket attacks on "toxic masculinity." Leftist whites in general attack white people on every front, all the time. Leftist Jews will denounce of Zionism at the drop of a hat. And so on and so on. The funny thing about their identity politics is that everyone in their coalition MUST stridently identify as X, Y, or Z, or at least an ally of some group, for the few remaining straight white men. They must do this daily, in a strained and inscrutable manner - "as a gay Polynesian otherkin, I believe that tariffs on Norway are a genocide of my people." But, from to time to time, they MUST attack their own group, to show fealty to the overarching Party and its power demon masters - "Polynesian otherkin all too often appropriate indigenous cultures, which do not necessarily include a rich otherkin history in all cases. It's time to pass the mic and be an ally to our brothers in Hamas." Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at January 21, 2026 07:29 AM (BI5O2) 34

Posted by: Ben Had at January 21, 2026 07:18 AM (0KSrI) It's pretty nice. Used to get up at 3, now I get up around 6. Working on a couple projects around the house. Set up a linux computer for the wife. The only real downside, and it's not much, is that I chose to retire right before property taxes, homeowners insurance, and car insurance came due. Added to that, the stupid lease youngest child had to sign for their apartment at Virginia Tech which I have to pay for for another 6 months despite said youngest child having graduated and being back in Texas, means that the first month spending was roughly 25% of what I had mentally allotted for the whole year.

The silver market has been in a state of flux for about a decade. Small investor demand for the poor man's bullion has put extreme pressure on supply.
Blaming small investors for the Silver supply Squeeze is like blaming California Mercedes drivers for the high price of gasoline in that state. There is a whole lot of big player involvement in both situations. Chase Bank was fined $920 million dollars for illegally holding down Silver prices for years while they bought many, many tons of the metal, enough that they considered that huge fine just part of the cost of doing business. Until the last month or so very few people owned silver. The reason the propaganda press is blaming small investors is that the government plans to steal Silver from individuals because Chase Etc. can afford the lawyers to fight them in court, while small investors are helpless to stop them.

Similar to when Biden or Obama clips are played, I can't listen to them and turn the sound down (or advance the recording) because I just don't listen to demons.

TBH, No. What reliable source is reporting on the scope of the attrition within the FBI? Randos say "lots of FBI agents retired or were fired" but that is hearsay, and wildly subjective as to being a few, or thousands.

I think the benchmark for the DoJ making arrests and incarcerating people was laid down on J6. That's the benchmark this DoJ needs to strive for.
I presume arrests have been made in Minneapolis. That's a good sign. But are those arrested in jail, like the J6'ers or are they running loose on bond... that was denied to anyone caught up in J6? I fully understand Trump's DoJ is facing a very unfavorable judiciary now. Every case must be water tight. But that doesn't preclude a black robed tyrant from tossing a case out of spite. So, what to do? Maybe confronting the judiciary on day one and forcing the issue would have been a better play? Posted by: Martini Farmer at January 21, 2026 08:09 AM (U2OZr) 101

I'm here to tell you fascists what real Christianity is, so listen up...
Real Christianity is about profligate sodomy. It's about lying to people from a position of trust so you can lead them into wickedness. It's about dividing people, and pitting them against one another so that your masters can enslave them. It's about terrorizing young children in their churches. It's easier for my cock sweat to be forced through a waiter's lips than for a white supremacist to enter the kingdom of heaven, and don't you forget it, crackers.

The Left doesn't even try to understand Trump. That would humanize him, of course. They insist on seeing him as a caricature. And these are people who fancy themselves savvy and nuanced interpreters of events and human psychology. His letter to the president of Norway is the latest example. If they made the slightest effort to account for context and Trump's history of statements and actions around NATO and national security, with the slightest allowance for this famous and harmless ego -- but they are incapable of this. They require the pretext for another conniption and call for impeachment.

Anyone who says nothing is happening is clearly not paying attention. The post WWII order is dissolving.

Trump is creating a new world order and building a dominant western hemisphere alliance that will focus on the welfare of the people and not international cartels of wealthy oligarchs and politicians.

Meanwhile, some people allegedly are doing something:
We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors. We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids. We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors. What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals. Combat veterans, off-duty officers and patriotic Americans have had enough of the radical left... and are being activated across the country to back our #lawenforcement. And they're smarter...more skilled... more driven... better trained than the left … and actually enjoy sitting in a deer stand for days on end just waiting. @DHSgov @ICEgov we’ve got you.

"A Rupture, Not A Transition": Canada's Carney Says "Rules-Based Order Is Fading" Ahead Of Trump's Address In Davos
"...the breaking of the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction and the beginning of a brutal reality where the geopolitics of the great powers is not subject to any constraint..." --- That's what I voted for. That's what we all voted for: Death of the post-war "order." That saw all the nations of the world exploit and plunder--with help of American elites--the American people. Because this technocratic elite, them, knew what was best for all of us. We had to do with less, we had to dream less, we had to hold back in all things. To fund their plans, their dreams, their development, their future. When "fighting communism" was played out as an excuse to impoverish Americans, they moved to the "war on terror." When that played out, they are on to "racism," or "climate change" or "Russia." The reason always changes but their prescriptions never do.

After Trump Meeting, Slovak PM Fico Says 'EU Is Not Taken Seriously' By World Leaders ...
Posted by: SMOD at January 21, 2026 08:30 AM (RHGPo) ++++ The EU is not taken seriously because it's fake and gay. It's a largely non-functional superstate comprised of dead or dying individual states. It increasingly has no effective power center and its internal governing process is deliberately inscrutable and unaccountable. Even now, *decades* into the EU-as-government experiment, the "2 AM question" - that is, "who in Europe do you call at 02:00 due to an international emergency" - *still* cannot be reliably or consistently answered. The EU is a pseudo-empire, but nobody knows who the emperor is at any given time or if he is dressed. The EU is what happens when you try to split the baby between imperial and nation-state government, and it works as well as anyone rational should expect. The EU is disrespected because it is irrelevant, and it is irrelevant because it's a hidebound, sclerotic, weak technocracy run by anonymous midwits to control masses of retards to enslave the diminishing population of the competent in a grand game of Calvinball.

It turns out that Ahmad Jihad Bojeh (obviously Amish, amirite? or maybe Quaker), the shitstain who murdered 3 people in Florida was charged with shooting up a Wawa back in 2020, injuring multiple victims.
He was found "not guilty by reason of insanity" and...this is the infuriating part...set free to murder again. Sorry, if you're insane in a way that makes you shoot people,you should, at a minimum, be institutionalized, not dumped back on the street. That's why we have "guilty but mentally ill" as a possible verdict here in Alaska. You get sent to a mental institution first, and then, if the docs decide you're All Better Now, you get to go to prison for the rest of your term. We have this due to a case way back in the '80s, where a psycho named Charles Meach, who'd been institutionalized for beating a retarded supermarket bagboy to death, was set free, only to promptly murder four teenagers who caught him burglarizing their campsite.

The Marxists and their terror groups funded political Islam, trained it in the trade craft of terrorism, and maintained direct operational links with them in many cases. The poor dumb browns were on the wrong end of the power dynamic, and their revolutionary consciousness would develop according to preordained dialectics with the help of proletariat vanguard leadership. They would be used against the capitalists, and then run their fiefdom as good socialist apparatchiks. Problem was, the European radicals were unserious, middle class students, and when that generation hit middle age, they melted right back into bourgeois society, took jobs at NGOs and in government, and served the continent up to their deadly serious, much more aggressive comrades. Last week UAE canceled its study-abroad program in the UK, because they got tired of their sons returning from London radicalized by the Brotherhood. So that's how that went.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the Big Snow in Lousy-ana. My employer had announced in advance that we'd have at least that day off. I'd stayed up the night before to watch Trump's inauguration party (what a relief after four terrible years of Joey the Crayon-Eater, to think we might still have a real country). Then, when I woke up, there was this white stuff coating the street and the lawns and the cars. I hadn't seen it since my days in Denver.
I'd parked the car the day before in the back lot away from trees, in a spot where it would get afternoon sun to help melt the snowpack once the sky cleared. And I have an ice scraper in the trunk. No idea what my neighbors did to get the snow and ice off their windshields. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 21, 2026 05:28 AM (wzUl9) 34

Not to mention, with a historic snow event and a cheering restoration of Trump in January, I was looking forward (as is MP4) to retiring. I didn't want to wait until summer, as I might get caught up in organizing the move of my office to a new building. So I set March 31 as my last day.
The move did happen, I understand, and I imagine it was a hell of an undertaking. I'm more than glad I wasn't there to be in charge of it! Do I feel as though I was abandoning my colleagues, as Tampon Tim did his military unit before it was deployed overseas? After the insanity my employer displayed during the Sniffle Scare, I'd lost all respect for the place, including my co-workers, and have never looked back.

I have lived long enough to see the culture go completely to rot. Actually, three times. When a threshold was reached I moved to a better place and watched the problem repeat. Keep out of the cultural currents. Stay off the X (double entendre). Purge the social crap, then life is what can be expected if you have high standards in a Fallen and cursed world. In the meantime, enjoy the things that you have earned and have built. The technical side of pretty much every industry has grown to great new marvels, enjoy what you can, be aware, but don't immerse in the fact that evil people corrupt all of these things. But the most important thing is be Grateful for every blessing, count those, and there isn't time to worry about the rest of the world - just be aware what they are doing and don't be a part of them.

Freezing temperatures forecast for early next week. Naturally, for Her Majesty this means panic in the streets. Do we have enough gas for the generators?
Aren't you closer to the coast? Like bicycling, I can handle cold; I can handle wet; I just don't do well with cold and wet. Cold, is no problem; kick on the fireplace. Wet; we are above the five hundred year flood plain. Cold and Wet, mean iced over branches and power lines. Just added 300+ gallons to the propane tanks and 30+ gallons of ethanol-free for the generator. Planning on four days without power. Except for a couple days, the roads ought to be passable.

Planning on four days without power. Except for a couple days, the roads ought to be passable. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at January 21, 2026 06:28 AM (a4flb) I think the principal concern should be what we do if the power goes out. Bitter experience tells us we'll be the last ones to have it restored. We have two 7500 watt generators and a 3500 watt one. We also have a transfer switch so that we can run the furnace and well. So, yes, I'll make sure we have plenty of gas on hand. They were scheduled to deliver propane on Monday, but they've deferred it to next Monday. In any case, the tank is about half full.

Dittos. Not so bitter though, if you prep. Before the Great Texas Freeze and Power Outage of Feb 2021, had no generator. Fortunately we were on the same grid circuit as a number of nursing homes so the power was out for a few hours, not for a week. Now have an inverter generator that can drive a five-ton heat pump plus all the usual stuff in the house. Problem is when the heat strips kick in for a few minutes for de-icing of the lines - it exceeds the generator's capacity. Noticed that Harbor Freight has one suitable enough for $2200. The smaller the better because 95% of the time, the generator only feeds no more than 1000W of total household use. Its when the microwave, septic tank pump or water heater kicks in that the extra head room is good. I can keep a house at 72°F in the 100°F summer on 14 gallons a day. A Generac can't touch that number. I don't know what cold will do, probably just run the blowers and let the fireplace do the work.

I recommend, given the temperatures, that for the churches they attempt to raid that the demonstrators are given a free outdoor baptism. A good hose will be ideal for Confessional denominations, Evangelicals will have to temporarily abandon credo-baptism modes and adopt pedo-baptism modes, but they are good at compromise.

Carrie Severino @JCNSeverino 15h Must Listen: Justice Alito reveals the obvious irony of citing the Black Codes as justification for Hawaii’s 2023 firearm restriction law. “They wanted to disarm the Black population in order to help the Klan terrorize them...they wanted to put them at the mercy of racist law enforcement officers. So is it not the height of irony to cite a law that was enacted for exactly the purpose of preventing someone from exercising the Second Amendment right, to cite this as an example of what the Second Amendment protects.” Posted by: m at January 21, 2026 06:58 AM (SSiCQ) 107

As far as this angry agitator in MN, Mr. Kelly, I prefer Thomas Raymond Kelly who died in 1941. He was a Quaker who wrote one of my favorite devotional books, "A Testament of Devotion": This is just one quote from it:
"The life that intends to be wholly obedient, wholly submissive, wholly listening, is astonishing in its completeness. Its joys are ravishing, its peace profound, its humility the deepest, its power world-shaking, its love enveloping, its simplicity that of a trusting child."

Nine days after being reported missing by his mother and stepfather, RJ was found safe indoors, unharmed, and warmly embraced by his rescuers. Authorities believe RJ ran away to seek safety away from his parents’ home. “He gave us a hug and we told him that he was safe and nobody was going to harm him anymore, and he gave us a big hug and he was ready to go eat some pizza,” said Thomas Gentile of the United Cajun Navy. Local authorities confirmed RJ is now in a safe environment, and he will not be returning to the property where he was previously living. The community played a key role in bringing RJ home. “I asked for the media’s help and we got it,” said Chickasha Police Chief Goebel Music. “How I know that to be true is that where I met and spoke with RJ, when I was hugging him, he said, ‘Hey, I saw you on the news.’ So, what you did worked.”Check out the whole thing.

----- Not exactly wholesome Walrus Penis Bone Stolen from Iconic Camden Cheesesteak Restaurant A decades-old walrus penis bone that had become a quirky fixture at Donkey’s Place, a well-known cheesesteak spot in Camden, was stolen by a bar patron, according to the restaurant’s staff. The item, considered a good luck charm by employees and regulars, was taken by a man who had reportedly been drinking for several hours with two others. Surveillance footage shows the suspect leaving the premises with the walrus penis bone in hand, shortly after the group asked to see it.Really? A bone from a walrus' junk?

Something huge and brown is crossing the Atlantic from Africa to America, and satellites can no longer ignore it For more than a decade, satellites have watched a brown streak grow across the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2025, that streak reached a new record of about 37.5 million tons of floating seaweed stretching over 5,400 miles, roughly twice the width of the continental United States. Scientists call it the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, and it is now big enough to be tracked from space almost every year. A new scientific review led by marine scientist Brian Lapointe at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute pulls together forty years of data to explain how this happened. Published in the journal Harmful Algae, the work shows that a mix of natural forces and human made nutrient pollution has turned a once patchy seaweed into a recurring ocean-scale belt that threatens coasts, economies, and even the climate.But OF COURSE - it threatens the climate.

The county has prepared all snow removal/management equipment for the expected storm: The two snow shovels were located and dusted off and Caleb's 1973 Ford pickup was gassed up down at Wally's Filling Station. Violet is fixing biscuits and cornbread just in case. The models for here are too far out to truly get worried but right now, they are calling for at least 10 inches of snow.

Authorities believe RJ ran away to seek safety away from his parents’ home.
Mixed emotions about that story. Glad he's okay, of course. At not quite that boy's age, I "ran away" for an hour or so one day. I was frustrated by something, I forget what exactly, but I was teased and tormented frequently by siblings, and didn't get a lot of help from parents. Seemed like nobody understood. I didn't go far, and came back fairly soon. Got the belt. Never ran away again, with that kind of welcome-back. You don't know your family dynamic is not healthy when you're growing up in it; you just think it's all like that. Even when you have Leave It To Beaver for contrast. Like having Eddie Haskell for a brother. Middle of the last century was a different universe. Posted by: mindful webworker never was a cub scout at January 20, 2026 10:08 PM (FMpsC) 42

Greetings, all. I'm sorry if this kind of hijacks the ONT but I saw this post from Wolfus this morning. Being on the west coast it seems I'm always late to the party.
"49 The 1932 The Most Dangerous Game w/ Joel McCrea and Fay Wray is coming up on Movies! at 5 am central. I know of it, but have never seen it. This would have been the year before Fay became famous for her turn in King Kong. As for McCrea, he was a solid performer for several decades. His title role as "Sergeant Hook" with Barbara Stanwyck in the '50s is a great adaptation of the Jack Schaefer Western short story (which I admire tremendously), and he is perfectly cast." Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 20, 2026 05:13 AM (wzUl9) Wolfus, if you like both these actors, check out Joel McCrea in "Barbary Coast", with Miriam Hopkins. He was in the early stages of his leading man development, but he takes over the screen. And, Fay Wray did a fabulous pre-code comedy called "They Met in a Taxi", with Chester Morris. A quintessential example of the "big mis" (misunderstanding) plot line. Just fun, snappy dialog. OK, now going back to read the post. Posted by: Effie Perrine at January 20, 2026 10:54 PM (1auMZ) 191

Did Trump do anything to stop the BLM riots? How about the DC riots when he had to go into the bunker? Any arrests that led to convictions? ICE agents being shot at (2x in Texas); attacked everywhere. White software engineers eating lunch are attacked by mobs thinking that they are ICE. The J6 "riots" included people who never even entered into any buildings. The FBI hunted them down to the corners of the Earth. The FBI hunted down elderly Catholic women praying outside abortion clinics. What is happening now, everyone agrees must be stopped before blood runs in the streets because the Left has no brakes, only accelerators. We need to seriously consider the fact that Trump is comfortable with a hot civil war with thousands of casualties. Its HIS track record.

The murderous vermin are talking over open comms about going after the families of ICE agents.
It isn't that the Left hates law enforcement, its just that the Left hates the idea that they can't use them to torment and incarcerate their enemies. All the things they say that they are upset about ICE, pulling white people people over demanding their papers, following cars, tracking people, setting up dragnets, blowing their horns like police sirens - they are doing. They are blocking people, dragging them off while complaining about kidnapping, that is exactly what they are doing. They act like police, judge, jury, executioner; have their own laws and civil codes - all the Cargo Cult elements of a tyrannical police state. While Babylon DC winks as the Bolsheviks create break away territories. All of government is either openly hostile to us or gives empty words and promises. We are on our own. Get off the X. Consider where this is all going, and on April 15 and act accordingly.

A lot of software with fortran origins will still name elements of their input data cards. Lots of in-house code which you get used to. Even if it’s migrated to other languages you’ll still hear people talking about cards. Even COTS stuff like msc nastran people will refer to input “decks”. Same with “tapes” which people haven’t had to use for decades but still refer to primary storage I/o files as tapes because at one point they really were.

Depends on how Trump is engaged. If Canada, or for that matter, a bunch of drunk gypsies decided to go kinetic, yes the US would lose if we relied on Trump to send in physical force. But if it isn't kinetic and is about deals and palace intrigue, Trump sweeps the floor with all of them. Fortunately, EU doesn't even have a band of drunk gypsies and that is why Trump owns them.

Walz's insurrection is less than 100 Karen Kommandos and associated soy boys. They've done nothing to seriously impede ICE's operations. It's a joke.
Wouldn't you seriously think about packing heat to church given the non-response of the Feds when animals come in and riot and the locals have zero interest in the matter? We are on our own, and if it was only a 100 Karen Kommandos, how damned hard is it to sweep them up and lose them in some federal canvas tents in the middle of a military base?

I took the rear brakes off the Lark, and pulled the axles. Wheel bearings appear to be OK. Left side inner axle seal was bad; have them coming from Amazon. Left brake was soaked in oil. I think that brake drum is bad, as in cracked. Hit it lightly with a hammer, and it goes "dunk". Hit the right brake drum, and it rings like a bell. May be able to get a decent replacement on Saturday.

Every damn thing we need seems to be back ordered. There has to be a dozen things we can't get. It should have been done by now. I went to one of the other shops over the weekend and built a motor that we took apart in november, so thats done. If it wasn't for this frigging panhead I would have had a few weeks of nothing major to do. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at January 21, 2026 12:13 AM (snZF9) 357

Is it seasoned hardwood? Firewood needs a year or two after it’s cut before it’s any good. A good mix of oak and hickory. At least in the east.

324 I've often wondered just how it is that we're still flying Presidents around in these ancient planes. Both of them have exceeded the intended design life for a 747 in a passenger configuration... it's kind of shocking. Trump would probably be better off in his own damn plane at this point.
I'm sure it's like the B-52s...with a basically unlimited budget for maintenance and repairs, there really is no such thing as "design life" Posted by: Azjaeger at January 21, 2026 12:17 AM (3/XaG) 361
A year is good, two years is best for firewood. Otherwise you are using part of the heat generated to dry the wood out in the firebox.

Posted by: Azjaeger at January 21, 2026 12:17 AM (3/XaG) AF1 sure isn't in the air all the time, either. If an airline owns a 747, it's not making money on the ground. So they fly those planes until the wings fall off. An airliner 747 probably gets more airframe hours on it in one year than AF1 has had since it was built.

Wood-splitters are awesome! Beats swingin' an axe, for sure. My older bro built one and let us borrow it when we had a couple of diseased trees cut down.

Yeah, the stories I’m reading were bad. Even some baling with a parachute weren’t all that great.
Hitting the rear stabilizer, getting munched by other planes in the formation wasn’t unusual. One B-17 ended up with just the headless torso of a guy from another plane on the navigators desk. They figured out who it was eventually from laundry marks on the clothes. I still can’t figure out how those guys got up in those planes over and over. Completely crazy.

Donna, you did the good thing for your dog.
I recall when we had our beloved Hound neutered. He was a stray and would not come into the house. He would not get in the car. He had been abused and was terrified. We were finally able to get him to the vet for surgery. He came home wobbly. Hubby picked him up and carried him into the house. We and our cats sat around him that night and comforted him in the living room. Posted by: BarelyScaryMary at January 21, 2026 12:55 AM (gh32g) 392

Posted by: JQ at January 21, 2026 12:48 AM (rdVOm) They have the wood splitter from Hell in the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Some farmer took an old steel tractor wheel, and welded a big-ass wedge to the rim of it. Wheel was mounted in a frame, with a very solid anvil, that had a gap for the wedge to pass through. Wheel was driven by a flat belt from the side PTO on an old tractor. It just went round and round constantly. User would place an end of the log on the anvil, and tip it into the patch of the wedge as it came around. Sounds like a great way to lose fingers or a whole arm. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 21, 2026 12:55 AM (8zz6B) 393
Then, if you managed to safely land after baling out, you are in enemy territory where you’ve been dropping bombs on their cities, and some farmer might beat you to death with a pitchfork. If you survive the locals, then they throw you in jail and the Gestapo work you over breaking bones and all that crap.

That pic with all the hollerith cards? It's been "burned", the film version of photoshop. Notice how from the hips down, that model's body is just a dark space, until you finally see a bit of one leg and a bit of foot. The key is the date: 1966. The heyday of the miniskirt. The company brass saw the picture and decided that all that leg wasn't the image they wanted.
My card story - in '69, I wrote a Fortran program to calculate LCR values for an equalizer network for differing lengths of coax, all on cards. The deck was about 7 inches. 15 years and two companies later, at a conference, I run into my old boss, who tells me that they got an order for more of that product, they dug out the cards, had some contract company run them through a reader onto an 8" floppy, and it worked fine on Fortran77.

Posted by: An Observation The silver market has been in a state of flux for about a decade. Small investor demand for the poor man's bullion has put extreme pressure on supply. Combine that with China, the no. 3 exporter restricting exports and supply has been seriously squeezed. This isn't the first time London has been caught selling phantom silver. A chunk of the big players holdings are paper. They're having a harder time moving it because buyers want physical silver now. The supply squeeze isn't going away anytime soon.

Wait, is the B7 chord supposed to be difficult or am I just a pre-arthritic troglodite?
Posted by: weft cut-loop at January 21, 2026 01:49 AM (mlg/3) No its not difficult. If you can make an E or an AM you should be ok, because the fingering is a little similar. You just need to add that pinky, but that could be the problem note if you actually are a tad arthritic. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at January 21, 2026 02:12 AM (snZF9) 436
The London Bullion market is in deep trouble: they've sold the same Silver bars to several different customers, and the customers want delivery. Did you ever see the movie The Producers? Yeah the banks sold 2 to 3 hundred % of Springtime for Hitler never dreaming people would ask for their shares. Ruh Rho. Posted by: An Observation ============= I haven't seen The Producers, but I saw Bugsy. Mr. Siegel sold the same shares to multiple people never dreaming he would not be able to pyramid it back to them. (Actually, that's not a pyramid scheme, but it's some sort of scheme.) I'm very surprised that The London Bullion market has made this kind of error. I think of London as still being a, if not the, world finance center.

Hmm. If I understand the other science correctly, areas over the deep sea don't have that many fish at one time since there's not much to eat and nowhere to hide. The Sargassum Belt may provide such a place, but that's speculation on my part based upon my imperfect interpretation of other things that I have read.

Trump's methods are clumsy and embarrassing, but there is a serious concern behind them. Posted by: John Lawrence Here's my take from watching Trump. He has masterfully prepped the battlefield. He puts out the most outrageous demands and gets the response he wanted. Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome. The Danes can probably wet their beak on the mining. Also, the current residents can remain subjects of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God have mercy on your mercenary souls. Posted by: Blutarski, Gradually then Suddenly at January 20, 2026 07:16 PM (cxFcK) 13

Posted by: garrett at January 20, 2026 07:42 PM (ZcsJV) Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck”.

That was historically one thing that made America great. Money always goes where it’s treated best. A sound currency.
Property rights, Rule of Law. Presumption of Innocence. Equal rights under the Law. Right to face one’s accuser. Business and capital investment depends on certainty. Reasonable certainty anyhow. Planning ten years out, one could reasonably predict interest rates would be in historical ranges. There wouldn’t have been a military coups and currency revaluation and sovereign debt default and all that bullshit. As a consequence of all these things, and more, America drew top talent and money from around the globe. It ain’t rocket science. But government has become infested with cretins and idiots, and indeed rapacious financial entities “too big to fail” have achieved regulatory capture. The currency has turned to confetti. Something new in the U.S.A. that the rest of the world has had long bitter experience with. Life is cheap in America. Posted by: Common Tater at January 20, 2026 07:54 PM (SH3As) 84

President Donald Trump signed an executive order mobilizing the federal government to fight state limits on the fast-growing artificial intelligence industry. The order drew overwhelming praise from the tech industry but a fast rebuke from critics, including lawmakers in both parties who say the federal government is not doing enough to address the dangers that AI poses.

HA has a darkly amusing piece up about Cuba right now. Looks like the Cuban government is mobilizing for war and getting everyone whipped up about an American invasion - except no one the American side is planning any such thing. There’s no need, Cuba gets another step closer to collapse every day, without us doing anything at all.

Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck”. Robert Heinlein Posted by: Tom Servo at January 20, 2026 07:52 PM (8YGuO) Reminds me of the story of the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving. After fully half of the colonists starved, the governor came up with the idea of using, essentially, capitalism to organize their society, instead of what was essentially Socialism. It was fabulously successful - abundance was the result. So they thanked ... God. Essentially calling it "good luck". Hundreds of years later, the lesson still hasn't been learned.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at January 20, 2026 09:55 PM (snZF9) In Socialist Grifter Millionaire Paradise of Davos, Gavin Newsom Calls Upon World Leaders to Oppose the United StatesBefore getting to that: The EU is very bothered about Trump's drive to take Greenland. Trump has threatened punishing tariffs against the EU for opposing his takeover of Greenland.The European Union's top official did not hold back in her warnings about President Donald Trump's threat to impose fresh tariffs on countries opposing his push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, a semiautonomous Danish territory. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Trump's threats "a mistake" and questioned U.S. trustworthiness, saying that the EU-U.S. trade deal from July had to "mean something." "Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and U.S. have agreed to a trade deal last July. And in politics as in business -- a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something," Von der Leyen said.This woman routinely attempts to impose European anti-speech controls on US citizens by shellacking Elon Musk with fines. We're not friends. All you do is coerce the US. The outlet noted that he argued that allied countries should be focused on bringing peace to Ukraine and ending the nearly four-year war with Russia.Then stop buying Russian oil.
I continue not understanding Trump's fascination with Greenland. But when I hear our ungrateful EU enemies shrieking, my opposition to Trump's takeover decreases. About that Russian oil the Europeans keep buying while pretending to support the Ukraine: Scott Bessent wants to know why Europeans claim they're supporting Ukraine while they're arming Russia by buying Russian oil. Barron TrumpTrump blasted the "foolish fortune-tellers" forever prophesizing climate doom. Commerce Secretary Harold Luthwick blasts the WEF: "Globalism has failed." He assails the organization for endlessly pushing companies to "off-shore" and "far-shore" all of a country's jobs to foreign nations.
Many are pointing out that the leftwing tech communists used to propagandize endlessly about "climate change." But their new grift, AI, requires huge amounts of power. So to keep making piles of money, they've all decided, simultaneously, to stop agitating about climate change and start talking up increasing energy production.

On the EU tariffs, I am really disappointed that Trump did not match their VAT. VAT is an *export subsidy* as well as an import tariff. This is straight up mercantilism and Trump should be addressing that for starters. If trade was fair between EU and USA, the only thing we would ever import from them would be artisanal cheeses and wine. Maybe some luxury goods made by Chinese in Italy.

Euroland does the same twostep that China does--Panda face and War face except via Nato and EU faces. So Trump is busy nuking all these multilateral international treaties and organizations that act against US interest (often being stabbed in the back by the EU as much as our adversaries like China or Russia). Bringing things back to bilateralism means that the results are much more reciprocal than US takes it in the shorts every time. Posted by: whig at January 20, 2026 06:03 PM (E4rtv) 33

I love the meme of Trump pretending to be a mullah to go to Greenland. The only thing I understand is a need for protection (I guess Iron Dome like Israel?) and keeping Russia and chy na's paws away from our continent. As well as the rare minerals. After reading of the eugenics that Denmark did to the Inuits, I don't see why they'd be loyal to them. It was Margaret Sanger stuff, but decades later, in what was done to our Native Americans. One lady said she could not have children because at some point someone inserted an IUD into her uterus. At another point she had pain (I guess from the IUD) and had her fallopian tubes removed. They also live in apartments with black mold that are not well insulated and freezing cold. The very few jobs there (fishing) don't pay squat. I think I'd want America at this point!

Greenland is smack dab in the middle of the shortest path between Russia and the United States (over the Arctic), so it's important for any potential missile defense to have control of that plot of land. Yes, Denmark is an ally and has given us carte blanche, but the same could be said of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean, which Britain let us use. However, this situation has now changed, as Britain turned over the Chagos to Mauritius because of white guilt. As Mauritius is fairly cozy with China, this will be a problem. We don't want that same thing happening much, much closer to home.

Why would anyone think China could make inroads on a strategic piece of land that is historically USA dominated?" My response: Are you a f-ing idiot? - UK handing Chagos to Mauritius -- Diego Garcia. We are about to lose access to that. - Panama Canal -- We built it! but a year ago China controlled both ports so if there was a war, we would be denied access. - Philippines!! -- They were a colony. They were allies. Then they invited in China and started handing them chunks of territory. Nothing is settled until the entire world understands that USA is serious and will bomb their asses if we think they are about to turn on us. We have avoided that stance for too long. /sorry for rant Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 20, 2026 06:08 PM (5XW27) 67

Greenland is in line with Trump's "America First" agenda.
Most people can't, or won't understand the strategic implications of a Greenland controlled by Russia or China. It's been spelled out a zillion times. Some people are just too stupid to understand. Posted by: Martini Farmer at January 20, 2026 06:12 PM (U2OZr) 95
I think the main concern the current administration has about Greenland relates to China, moreso than Russia. China is leveraging various countries that have claims to the Arctic (and all its resources). Take Norway, for example. China has made a big push to dominate the Norweigan market and actually put troops in Kirkenes. China named themselves a "Near Arctic State" it's a totally made up name by a country with no claims to the Arctic, but telegraphs their intentions. Chinese are, also, infiltrating Slavic energy companies relative to this goal.
China has a habit of ignoring boundaries, international laws and sovereignty. They plan on exploiting the Arctic in any way they can for petroleum, rare minerals, fishing etc. They feel they are entitled. Greenland offers shipping routes and a base opportunity for these goals. Trump is correct to take contrary measures. Even if they are expensive. Posted by: Orson at January 20, 2026 06:12 PM (dIske) 96

Frankly I don't care if they go commie or Muzzie but their value as allies to the US is approaching nil.

What’s truly remarkable is how seamlessly AI-generated content now mirrors the nuance, clarity, and authenticity of human expression. At this point, the idea that someone could reliably tell whether a piece of writing was produced by AI or a person feels increasingly outdated. As technology continues to evolve, the real opportunity lies not in questioning the source of the content, but in embracing the possibilities it unlocks for collaboration, efficiency, and scalable impact.

Earlier this year when Trump first brought up Greenland, I noticed Putin responded by saying that Russia would not permit such "encroachment." I was surprised that Putin said anything; he usually tasks his lapdog Medvedev.
As far as Trump's interest, I thought it was primarily a three-fold concern: (1) off-setting the Russian/Chinese incursion in the artic; (2) valuable rare earth minerals acquisition; (3) Golden Dome and ballistic submarine staging/detection. It will be interesting how is shakes out. Posted by: -DC at January 20, 2026 06:26 PM (i3jTa) 168

My (limited) understanding of Greenland is the obvious one of early warning against Russia missile attacks, monitoring of what is happening in space and to be in control of the new shipping routes to avoid Chinese and Russian interference, and control of rare earth so China doesn’t expand their dominance. To would make easier for us to tell China to pound sand. Or if we do enter a hot WW3, we really need to be the ones in control of that territory and not at the whim of the feckless EU. Maybe Trump knows something we don’t about the reality of that hot war.

Trumps fascination with Greenland is purely strategic, sir. The EU, with former head banker Mark Carney leading the way, is partnering with(or is blackmailed by) China. Frankly, I think we are watching Trump delegitimize the EU and the UN and is working to form a new association that actually solves problems rather than continue the post-Soviet grift that tried to kill him. I support it 100%.

Greenland is about the Chagos Islands (Diego Garcia). Denmark and EU’s promise on Greenland is shit when the EU ICJ “decolonizes” strategic territories to the benefit of Russia and China. It took only 3 years from an ICJ ruling on Chagos Islands not being decolonized sufficiently by the UK to the UK giving it up entirely (2 more years to finalize, but deal was all done under Biden).

Here's Trump's calculus:
Greenland was called "Greenland" by the Viking because when they first discovered it during the Medieval Warm Period, the climate there wasn't so bad, and they could grow crops. Later, things got cold again for a while, and they bailed out because it got too cold. Trump figures: Either the Global Warming predictions will come true, or they won't. If they come true, then by snagging Greenland he just acquired a huge amount of prime real estate back when it was undervalued. If they don't com true, then the climate catastrophe cult will collapse and the US wins the long-term war anyway. It's a win-win scenario, by betting on both sides.

Now, he'll come back and offer a 100 year lease. The Euros can save a little face while we now can invest knowing regardless of what government may come, we have what we want from Greenland. We can invest in infrastructure for mining, etc. and finalize the missing piece of the Golden Dome. Also, the current residents can remain subject of the Danish crown which has done so much for them. I assume they're all on the dole, so we won't have that expense. They said they wanted to remain subjects, so go and may God forgive your souls.

Posted by: Oldcat ======= Mint is a nice take on Debian. Ubuntu has been pushing the boundaries lately to take on Arch installs with up to the date kernels, etc. If someone wants Ubuntu, go with the LTS versions and wait about six months until installing the latest LTS version after it becomes available. I've used Linux since about 2008-9 for my main internet computers and even using open office and now libre office suite for most needs. Debian is becoming a much more viable option as well for the DIY sort. Arch is a good OS but does require some user maintenance to fix issues from being at the cutting edge of kernels. BSD Unix is also seeing a revival lately but not for beginners. I am a bit irritated for the RAM shortage as I was intending to build a new system to run OS in containers which would let me get rid of some hardware. Prefer at least 64 gig of ram to do that.

Why does Trump want ownership of Greenland?
It's because without exclusive diktat over all of the affairs of Greenland, the Russians and the Chinese will continue to push for, and will eventually consummate, deals for their own presence on the island. And Trump WILL NOT have that. There are no guarantees that Denmark nor Greenland could make which would prevent the Chinese & Russian movements into Greenland in perpetuity. That's why Trump wants full ownership of the place.

Oh we're "tender"? We're pussies? Well we'll see what happens when we storm a mosque. We'll see who's "tender" then. ... The incident sparked a federal civil rights investigation and calls to arrest Lemon for his role in the ordeal. A defiant Lemon mocked the churchgoers on Monday, saying they had a sense of "entitlement" that stems from "a white supremacy." He also insisted he was at the protest as a journalist and not an activist, and that disrupting a church service is protected by the First Amendment. Ellison agreed. "I think that protest is fundamental to American society. You know, it's freedom of expression. People have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. And none of us are immune from the voice of the public," Ellison told Lemon. "They're getting tender about a church service now," added Ellison, who is Muslim.Unrelated: The Bulwark -- created, allegedly, to "conserve conservatism" -- is having a banner day. Bill Kristol says he can answer the question "Can a man become a woman?" easily -- yes they can, and he knows many trannies he considers to be women.

Talking to the buldyke people or the left (but I repeat myself) is impossible because they pretend not to understand the issue, making discussion impossible.
The "seeing body parts you don't want to see" is MAINLY about children, which is why the buldykes are for it. The other side is the "having my body parts seen by people who are getting a sexual kick out of it" which is similarly important. Which part they are studiously ignoring.

“Can a man become a woman” is such a rage bait bullshit question. It has no bearing on policy. In a free country an adult can become whatever they want if they don’t harm others.
Stares openmouthed. If it has no bearing on policy, why are you supporting men in women's locker rooms and bathrooms? Why do you insist that men be allowed to mingle naked with adolescent and younger girls? Why are you demanding that we put trannies in the military? despite the fact that putting manifestly undeployable people in the military will get people killed. The whole POINT of the argument is that it harms other people, you fatuous twat. Go stand in the corner and think about what you've done. Posted by: Archimedes at January 20, 2026 04:58 PM (Riz8t) 42

"disrupting a church service is protected by the First Amendment."
Did this dickhead get his degree from a cereal box? NO. That is the unequivocal legal answer. Churches are private property, individual congregations are permitted to set and enforce conduct rules, remove violators, and contact law enforcement for assistance. There is no constitutional right to protest a private religious assembly. In the 1972 case Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that just because an establishment is open to the public does not mean it automatically becomes a public forum. Forty years later, in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC, the high court again emphasized the autonomy of religious institutions. This is settled, black letter law. No grey area. Every one of those protesters should be prosecuted, should be convicted, and face years in jail. Every single one. Including Don Lemon.

Well, here they are pretending not to understand that these tranny performances in locker rooms, in front of kids, or even anywhere in public are them getting off on the act. They are using the unwitting as part of their sexual fantasy. This is bad enough in public, but to do it in a woman's locker room is sexual assault.

I saw a map of the North pole and the countries there, and it showed the likely spots from which Russia might launch a missile to attack US soil. Especially if it launched a missile at DC.
The base at Greenland is about halfway between us and Russia, and we would be able to launch counter missiles and cut them off before it even gets close to US soil. Like our own Iron Tundra Dome. After seeing that map I said ah, I get it. And that doesn't even include the potentially valuable Arctic Sea shipping routes, or the rare minerals connected to Greenland.

Ratification of the Louisiana Treaty, from Monticello.org:
"...The purchase treaty had to be ratified by the end of October, which gave Jefferson and his Cabinet time to deliberate the issues of boundaries and constitutionality. Exact boundaries would have to be negotiated with Spain and England and so would not be set for several years, and Jefferson's Cabinet members argued that the constitutional amendment he proposed was not necessary. As time for ratification of the purchase treaty grew short, Jefferson accepted his Cabinet's counsel and rationalized: "it is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; & saying to him when of age, I did this for your good... ...The Senate ratified the treaty on October 20 by a vote of 24 to 7. Spain, upset by the sale but without the military power to block it, formally returned Louisiana to France on November 30. France officially transferred the territory to the Americans on December 20, and the United States took formal possession on December 30...his belief that the affair of Louisiana would impact upon "their highest destinies" proved prophetic indeed."

Most Russians don't like the Russian government either, but they won't say that while in Russia.
Say what you will about Putin, but he saved his country post-communism, The average life expectancy of a Russian male in the early 90's dipped below 60 years, and the rates of alcoholism and drug overdose were through the roof. That life expectancy has increased by more than 10 years and while still high, there have been drastic reductions in alcohol and drug related mortality.

Not many people know this but when the left write anything, they use a special font. It is identical to most normal fonts with one specific difference. If you were to examine the 'dots', periods, the dot of an exclamation point, even question marks, under an electron microscope, you would see the 'dot' is NOT solid. There is a tiny circle in the center of the dot and inside the circle, the three letters, "EFM". These three letter represent the word "Except for Me". And these allow any leftist to exempt themselves from any rules, principles, or demands they care to make. While they do not explicitly say or write the words, everything they say or write is implied to end with "Except for Me!"
So when Don Lemon or Keith Ellison prattle on about civil rights, each of their statements should be read as ending with "Except for Me". Then it all begins to make sense. Posted by: at January 20, 2026 05:48 PM (db69R) Posted by: whig at January 20, 2026 05:48 PM (E4rtv) 303

Wonderful book. No sequel since he killed himself before it was published. Posted by: Don Lemon Needs to be sent to Gaza Wonderful? No, a self-confession and just sad. Posted by: weft cut-loop at January 20, 2026 10:54 PM (mlg/3) Trump's One Year Anniversary: Many Successes, Many Promises KeptTrump took office one year ago, January 20, 2025. Amanda Head of Just the News notes some of the big success.More at the link, including the peace deals. Which brings me to a point of dissatisfaction: Trump might just have decided that Obama Was Right to Spare the Mullahs and Protect the Ayatollah. I don't know if this is true -- the USS Abraham Lincoln is still four days away (I think) from Iran -- but it looks like he's selling out the Iranian protesters he urged to take to the streets and "TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!" If [leftwing critics]had been right this time [that Trump is a warmonger], we'd now be hearing Trump give the command for "bombs away" over Tehran. Instead, there he was on the White House lawn Friday afternoon, pointedly thanking the mullahs for not following through on their vow to execute hundreds of political prisoners rounded up in the protests. "Iran canceled the hanging of over 800 people," Trump said, adding that he "greatly respected" the move. To those with an honest and open mind, the week's roller coaster ride illustrated how Trump's fondness for talking about America's military might is often purposeful sword-rattling. The bluster, this time and often, serves as an invitation to negotiations or is so persuasive that he gets most of what he wants without having to fire a shot. 'I convinced myself' As the week began, the scenes in Iran looked like a five-alarm fire. With the mullahs slaughtering their own citizens for the crime of protesting a collapsing economy, the calls for America to stop it grew louder, and Trump was game. He gave every indication that our military was locked, loaded and ready to go. In a bristling Tuesday post on Truth Social, he sounded prepared to take action with his promise to the brave demonstrators that "help is on its way." "KEEP PROTESTING -- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!." He urged those in the streets, adding, "Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price." Within 24 hours, he pulled back and explained the move by saying "very important sources" told him Iran had stopped killing protesters and was not moving forward with mass executions. It's not clear where he got that information, but so far it has been largely accurate. Additionally, reports surfaced that Trump was hearing warnings from our regional allies, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Turkey, that hitting Iran could ignite a much bigger war because of counterattacks by Iran and its heavily armed terror allies, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Some warnings raised the possibility of an Iranian civil war that could unleash a flood of refugees. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also asked Trump to postpone any attack so Israel would have more time to prepare for the likelihood that it would be a target of Iranian retaliation. On Friday, Trump rebuffed the chatter that pressure from foreign leaders led him to pull back. "Nobody convinced me. I convinced myself," he told reporters. He also added that the regime's canceling of executions "had a big impact" on his decision. The Wall Street Journal added two other factors. First, military advisers told the president the US must beef up its resources in the region to carry out a significant attack and also protect our troops and allies. The second reason was that Trump was told that a military attack probably would not topple the Islamic regime but would result in stepped-up brutality against demonstrators. The upshot is that Trump's decision to hold off on a military strike was clearly the right and prudent call, at least for now.Another reason? He keeps meeting with the sinister Islamist Tucker Carlson.
GrokI'm still hoping that Trump is making pacifist noises just to encourage the Iranians to stop the mass slaughter of civilians. I hope he's playing them, to give the protesters time until US forces are gathered and ready to strike. But I kind of doubt that. I think the sinister Islamist Tucker Carlson has once again tricked Trump into pursuing the Carlson Foreign Policy rather than the Trump Foreign Policy we actually voted for.

GDP growth
The latest BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) numbers show real domestic Gross Domestic Product grew at a solid 4.3% annualized pace in the third quarter of 2025 (July--September), and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow is now pointing to roughly 5.3% for the fourth quarter of 2025 -- up substantially from the roughly 2.4% annualized growth in fourth-quarter 2024 toward the end of the Biden administration. ======= It's a point to consider that if you remove government spending, we haven't had positive GDP growth since 2007. Will late 2025 buck that trend? End the actual nearly 20 year depression that we've been in? Fingers crossed!

I was listenting to our chatty Prez. while driving. I don't know if he was embellishing or not, but he said he think he can get growth of the economy well above the projected 5% in the fourth quarter. He thinks that the 4th quarter will not only exceed 5%, he thinks sometime next year we will approach 20%.....and then added the caveat, provided the Fed doesn't try to continue to sabotage it. He then went into a diatribe about how in the old days the Fed used to lower or sit on interest rates even (and especially) during a prosperous time, to make it that much more strong.

I do not recall him wavering his sword for no reason at all... Did anyone expect Trump to take out Maduro?

We spent months observing Maduro's habits, built a mock up of his bunker and rehearsed everything thousands of times. That little op was pretty fucking impressive.
Iran is a thousand times more difficult. We don't know where the mullahs are at every time of day/night. We don't know who among these "freedom loving Iranians" are actually Islamic assholes with weapons and a desire to kill. We don't have eyes on the thousands of ballistic missiles still a threat, and we certainly don't know who's got the proverbial keys to them. If/when all that's sorted out and if the situation still warrants "action" I think we'll see "action." Tucker Carlson isn't a factor in any of that.

There are good reasons to hold off on a full attack on Iran, even though I want them to fall as much or more than anyone here.
First: air strikes alone will not topple that regime. With all this warning, the top people will all be in deep bunkers; maybe we know where they are, maybe not, but Iran is a huge country. Also: the military and paramilitary forces are dispersed to the cities; to hit them now requires hitting the cities, not just their bases. And most of all - we do not have a good "casus belli", a strong legal justification for launching an attack, which if we're honest means starting a war at least as big as the war against Saddam. I think we could win, but this is going to be a hell of a lot longer and messier than any of us would like to think. so what should we do? Posted by: Tom Servo at January 20, 2026 04:05 PM (giMmT) 67

This just feels more like the first term. He had a lot of success, particularly economic and trade, in the first term. He definitely came out the gates on fire with the exec orders and Musk / DOGE this time, and it's good to see ICE going hard at it, but IMO the Iran strikes and Maduro aren't dissimilar in boldness to taking out Suleimani and getting direct with Kim Jong Un. We don't have Russiagate and his crew did a better job of cutting out deep staters, but the swamp is still there and this inaction on Dem rioters, Dem politicians fomenting it, no accountability from the 2020 elections or COVID or Summer of Love or conservative blacklisting or autopen, but keep telling us to wait for it...

so, what should we do?
First, make sure we are in a very strong defensive posture, both for ourselves and our allies. Iran could easily do something incredibly stupid here; launch missile attacks on Israel, or the Saudi's, or are ships just because they're desperate and crazy. That would actually be a big win for us, since that would give us our casus belli. after that, the best we can do is covert ops to weaken the regime, while at the same time they wither due to the complete collapse of their financial sector. Opportunities will arise in various places. Perhaps weapons can be smuggled in. Wait for the enemy to make a big mistake. Iran is like the 3rd Reich in the spring of 1945; they're on the way down, but they can still cause a hell of a lot of death and mayhem on the way their.

Tucker is a big fan of Maduro, claims he is THE champion of the western anti-gay marriage movement, and Trump still took him down. I don't think Tucker is controlling Trump anymore than Netanyahu or Putin.
I think Trump knows he's not the omnipotent King of the World and while he wants to help where he can not at the risk of hurting America or our interests. Perhaps we didn't have the assets prepared or he was warned that the thousands of jihadists Biden let into the US would hit back or maybe we just couldn't do much to hurt the mullahs without boots on the ground. Could be a lot of things but I don't think he listens to anyone enough to be swayed by an argument about evil Jews taking the world and I really don't think Tucker has much influence at all.

It's easy to feel overconfident because of the mission against Iran's nuke's sites - but be clear about what that was, and what that wasn't. That was a finite, carefully defined mission against a few very specific locations. And it was carried out marvelously.
Regime Change is nothing like that at all - this is like trying to get Saddam out of Iraq. Remember the air campaign of Shock and Awe? Did a marvelous job of degrading Iraq's military assets, didn't budge Saddam one inch out of his seat of power. As I wrote upthread, this is like trying to get rid of the 3rd Reich in spring of '45.

Tucker is a big fan of Maduro, claims he is THE champion of the western anti-gay marriage movement, and Trump still took him down. I don't think Tucker is controlling Trump anymore than Netanyahu or Putin.

I think the biggest factor here affecting Trump on Iran is the question "then what?"
I suspected this with Venezuela, and a couple days ago he mentioned it briefly that he did not want to "fire everyone" for a regime change because that is what the "very stupid people" did with Iraq and we were left with a mess. So it comes down to figuring out a path for debathification -- or demullahization -- that does not lead to chaos. That is a tough nut.

But TBH not as much as a I hoped. And the interesting thing is you can break it down by departments where say Rubio or Bessent have been VERY successful and other like Bondi not as much. Yes, before the discussion goes down that path there are different levels of challenge in different departments. But, here is my metric for what Trump needs to do THIS year to be successful: 1) The economy is seen as strong by the end of the summer - this will have a major impact in how people vote in Nov 2) At least one national level Democrat has to be charged with something that will stick 3) At least one funder/leader of one of the larger NGOs has to be charged with something that will stick 4) RFK needs to get a criminal or civil complaint around the clot shot crap to hit someone at Pfizer, Moderna, or Fauci's minions Posted by: 18-1 at January 20, 2026 04:22 PM (sKqQm) 161

The Lincoln CAG on the way gives Israel time to plan with US CENTCOM to put the final nail in the Ayatollah's Coffin...
Iran will probably launch their entire arsenal against Israel, and we will need the LPD Based Ballistic Missile Defense Ships on station to help knock down what the Iron Dome misses.

As far as the Trump alarmist stuff and Cucker Tarlson...a couple thoughts.
1. Trump's track record on foreign affairs is admirable. He's been bold, audacious and, yes, conservative. I'm inclined to trust him and not juggle his elbow. 2. Cucker is a Deep State creature and as such, all his public statements are part of an op. I wouldn't trust him any further than I can bowl him. That includes the things I agree with and the stuff I don't. It's all part of a psy op of some sort, every word out of his mouth.

Nobody was a bigger proponent of the Iraq war than Tucker. He pushed it relentlessly until things started going pear shaped. He seems to have done a 180 but there is no doubt he constantly pushes the idea that the evil Jew are secretly running the war and dragging us into endless wars while backing terrorist supporting countries like Qatar.

I agree, but nothing changes the fact that the Iranians are moslems. Moslems seem to have a desperate desire to be crushed by a strongman. I don't know how to overcome that.
Its not so much that Islam creates that situation - that is the natural situation. Yes, Islam exacerbates it but the more interesting part is that Christianity (and Judaism) provide an alternative without an authoritarian government This is something of minor complaint I suppose - functionally if Iran converted to Christianity in mass it would almost certainly liberate as well...but if the Eu-nicks got their wish in Iran and somewhat secularized it you would just see a different authoritarian regime - similiar to Hussien's in Iraq.

NC probably trends towards the GOP now because the PVI trend in the state has gone so Republican over the last decade. Just ask Hogan in MD how being a "popular" former governor of a state with a different PVI than you loves you for a federal race.

Not sure about Iran.
Again, Trump and the team arranged to go after drug boats in the Caribbean. They went through a whole elaborate farce, for three months. Meanwhile they constructed a replica of Maderno's palace and trained relentlessly. When they were ready, after denying they were ever going to invade, they swooped in and took Madurno. If you look at the last year, there has been a systemic dismantling of the threat Iran poses. Their nuclear capability and most of their missiles are gone. Houthis Hezbollah and Hamas are on the ropes. I don't *think* Trump is going to let this chance go to waste. There is also China, who desperately needs Iranian oils, and is one of the only buyers. Trump also badly embarrassed them in Venezuela. Maybe they are trying to wave him off. I just don't know - Trump has shown that long term strategic planning, including multiple fake-outs, is part of his repertoire.

220 we do not have a good statistic about Islamic Republic's religious affiliations - the mullahs are saying 99% are Shia muslim; ask 10-15 million Iranians abroad and they tell you 5-10% , maybe 20% are muslim believers

BeckoningChasm: re the percentage of actual muslims in Iran, the resistance folks are saying it's only 1/3, and even many of those are fed up to the back teeth with living under strict sharia law.
About 70% of the Iranians, they say, are secular, and some are actual Zoroastrians. Christianity is growing apace. And thousands of the mosques were closed over these 47 years because of waning attendance. Nothing like getting sharia good and hard to wake people the hell up to the real nature of Islam.

I've been saying since Trump started insinuating himself in this that he shouldn't have done it.
Just standing back, and perhaps lending some covert assistance to the protesters had no downside. If the protests succeed, the mullahs fall, great. Everybody's better off. If they fail, WGAF? The status quo of an Iran without nukes persists, with an even further weakened regime. Now, we have no good options. Trump can intervene militarily as he promised, and piss off a ton of his voters, and initiate a lengthy, ugly power struggle for control of west/central Asia - one that we will probably lose under some future President. That sucks, but the VERY WORST option - the one we're talking about here - is a negotiation that ends up preserving the regime. It would be an open betrayal of the insurgents he told to flood the streets. The reprisals will be far worse than if he'd said nothing. And the world will look on and see a paper tiger. Trump's leverage over the world's leaders he loves to challenge will be greatly reduced. Anyone advising that needs to be fitted for a dunce cap.

This happens all the time. 2 plead guilty in scheme to bribe DMV employees to issue commercial driver's licenses -- 4 others chargedGoogle AI's digest: Numerous cases of illegal alien driver's license bribe schemes involving DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) employees have been exposed across the United States. Recent investigations in states like Kentucky and Florida in 2025 highlight that this is an ongoing issue involving corruption, bribery, and the fraudulent issuance of identification documents. Details of the Schemes Bribery: DMV employees and third parties (like driving schools or immigration services companies) have been found to accept cash payments in exchange for illegally processing driver's licenses. Bribes have reportedly ranged from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars per license. Bypassing Requirements: In many cases, the fraudulent schemes involved bypassing essential requirements such as written tests, driving exams, vision tests, and necessary immigration status screenings. Employees would falsify records or use shared logins to process applications without the proper documentation or procedures. Targeting: The individuals seeking the fraudulent licenses were often undocumented immigrants who needed valid identification for employment or other purposes. Widespread Impact: These schemes have resulted in hundreds, sometimes thousands, of fraudulent licenses being issued. Consequences: The schemes have led to numerous arrests and convictions of both DMV employees and the individuals who paid for the fraudulent licenses. Those involved face serious federal felony charges, including bribery, conspiracy, identity theft, and forgery, with potential prison sentences and substantial fines. Licenses issued fraudulently are subject to revocation. Recent Investigations (2025) Kentucky: Whistleblower lawsuits and investigations revealed an alleged scheme where temporary workers in regional offices were selling licenses for around $200 each to undocumented immigrants, often bypassing the Homeland Security screening process. Florida: Eight individuals, including two DMV employees, were arrested in Bay County for a "driver's license for cash" scheme. Investigators seized over $120,000 in illicit proceeds and believe hundreds or more fraudulent licenses were issued over a two-year period. New York: Multiple DMV employees and a driving school were implicated in a scheme to sell fraudulent licenses, sometimes for up to $2,000, to Chinese immigrants who were not required to take or pass the necessary tests.

Just some caution here.
It is (I think) fairly common for these scammers to claim some kind of special power with the system as a way to justify their vig. So she just works the system using lies, coaching, and fake stories to tell the courts. But she claims she is bribing them because that now makes her operation exclusive. In truth it is just incompetent and lax and she is exploiting the weaknesses. If she told them that, she would be replaced by a brown skinned coach telling a different set of lies.

"We are importing rampant third-world corruption to our country for no reason, except to assuage leftwing white woman guilt."
Oh, it's way more than that. It's more about: 1. Money. The billions that were surely kicked back to Democraps and gov't operatives in the Learing Center scam is just the tip of the iceberg. 2. Political power. Somali grundles took over the entire political machine in MN in less than 20 years. Hispanics did the same in CA and blue cities through the south. 3. Saying "fuck you" to America. Leftists hate our country and want to see it burn. Inviting in hordes of human blattodea helps that cause. The guilty white women are just useful idiots for the cause. Plus, if they can't fuck their minotaur pool-boys, they'll settle for a swarthy man from Mauritania. Sounds close enough, right?

At the center of the operation is Patricia Golder, who, according to the footage, has turned the alleged manipulation of the asylum process into her business. Golder says she takes a portion of the pay given to the Mauritanian migrants in exchange for helping them navigate the system, and she claims she can bribe judges to rule in the migrants' favor. The footage also suggests that many of the migrants involved neither embrace nor intend to adopt core American values, even as they access public resources designed to protect legitimate asylum seekers.
++++ Sure. What's her "business?" What's it called? How is it organized? No mention of that in the article. It is either an LLC, a 501(c)3, or an informal mafia-style "business." I wonder which.

In one of Dinesh's documentaries, he talked about how one of the best things about moving to America was that it didn't have the inherent bureaucracy of corruption that he fled from in India. You didn't have to grease a lot of palms, you didn't have to know a guy or a cousin in this or that office to get your paperwork processed. You could rise on both merit, and on the system's nonjudgmental wheels turning as they should, equal for everyone.

True story. I know a guy. Senior citizen. Green card holder. Not a citizen. Been here for over 50 years. Military tour in Vietnam. No birth certificate (came from a war torn country). Also has light to moderate alzheimers disease. Went to the DMV in person to get his drivers license renewed. (Standard license) Walked out with a REAL ID. (the federal one good for flying). That guy went in there with none of the requirements for proving his address and identity. None. Just had his expiring regular drivers license. Remember, he has alzheimer disease. Best guess? DMV employee just said to herself, "Give the migrant the REAL ID. Screw the regs." Now, this guy had no intent of fraud. Loves America. Also doesn't need a REAL ID. Has no idea what a REAL ID is. Alzheimers, remember. And he walked out with a federal REAL ID. Blue sanctuary state, of course. But you knew that. True story. Posted by: EFG at January 20, 2026 02:49 PM (O01nq) 86

>>> >>Judicial corruption crimes are one of the very few types of crime I believe should be considered capital offenses.
I'm not sure what kind of judicial corruption the founding fathers were saddled with in their day, but I'm grateful they set up a system of trial by jury. It's not perfect, but the alternate is one judge deciding your fate...and you have to hope they aren't biased or being paid off to rule a certain way. With our modern judiciary, that would be terrifying. Though there was that judge that overturned a trial by jury conviction of a Somali fraudster and let him go...sigh!

Immigration has always been a sleazy business, from the lowest hustler up to the lawyers. It's scumbags serving scumbags.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade ---------------- The sleaziest are the lawyers. After the 80s amnesty, they all made millions on those cases, charging what they could from the illegals trying to get legit. Then when that dried up they became a massive lobby for another amnesty or some legislation that they could milk. We are talking hundreds of firms, thousands of lawyers, all trying to get the politicians to pass a law where they could make millions each again. I think that was the momentum behind the shift where Dems kept calling for different forms of amnesty and exceptions. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 20, 2026 02:53 PM (5XW27) 108

Kentucky: Whistleblower lawsuits and investigations revealed an alleged scheme where temporary workers in regional offices were selling licenses for around $200 each to undocumented immigrants, often bypassing the Homeland Security screening process. ------------- It wasn't only temporary workers, it was state workers too. And they were selling RealID's as well. The security/documentation threshold for those illegals seeking one is significantly lower than it is for an American citizen.

Posted by: IllTemperedCur at January 20, 2026 02:56 PM (y9nCu) ++++ There's another form of Amazon money laundering I have seen, which is a real product with an odd description and a wildly-inflated price. For example, I was once looking at optical components for a network switch. The product name was a full technical description of the product, with a price of $35,000. It was an $800 part. I suspect that this is just straight-up money laundering. If there's an audit, the auditor's eyes will glaze over and he will say, "yup, super expensive high-tech shit." If a demand for the part is made, it can be furnished easily enough. They probably even ship the part when purchased at 40x its value.

The model predicts the country would have to implement tactics similar to those used by the Afghan Mujahedeen against the US during its occupation of Afghanistan, such as troops and armed civilians carrying out hit-and-run style ambushes."

Gavin Newsom said he “should have brought a bunch of knee pads” to the World Economic Forum in Davos, criticizing world leaders for “rolling over” in response to President Donald Trump’s demands, particularly regarding his push to acquire Greenland.
He should just loan them the ones he uses for Bibi. And save some for his democrat friends in Senate and Congress. Stand tall and firm!?!? He was going somewhere until he started fighting against billionaire tax in California. They are all the fucking same. Dude just gargled ICE's balls with Ben Shapiro. Fuck this spineless corpo shill.

>>Surprising Few, Ohio Immigration Judges Can Be Bribed
There is a very dangerous coalition of subversives aligned with the Democrat Party. That includes a large part of the judiciary, who has formed a breakwater against Trump’s, that is, the people’s agenda. It also includes foreign powers like the Chinese who share interests with the Democrats and want to see that agenda which is crushing their country, disappear. They are the financiers of a great deal of this activity since this administration started cleaning up all the fraud and loose ends that were pumping this money back into Democrats coffers. These are very perilous times for our country, especially since Congress has done absolutely zero to address the widespread election fraud. Virginia was clearly just stolen and the legislature, as their first order of business, is ensuring nobody will ever uncover what they did. That’s because it’s a model for the upcoming midterms.

Heh. I was researching the etymology of the name "Shapiro" on Wikipedia yesterday. Turns out, it's a form of "Speyer," a city in Germany that once had a large Jewish population.
Some Jews from there also just used "Speyer" as a surname. Didn't mention whether Gentiles used it, too My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Speyer. So maybe I've got some Jewish ancestry? Posted by: Bulg at January 20, 2026 03:30 PM (77rzZ) 267

Got to hand it to Dems, they get stuff done. A lesson for our feckless (gormless?) GOP majorities -
@MarioNawfal VIRGINIA DEMS' FIRST MOVE WITH NEW MAJORITY: BAN HAND-COUNTING BALLOTS Forty-eight hours. That's all it took. Virginia's new Democratic majority introduced HB968, forcing machine-readable ballots through scanners and prohibiting hand counts "for any reason" unless explicitly allowed by law. Hand counts are impossible to hack remotely and easy for anyone to watch. When half the country already questions election integrity, why rush to eliminate the most transparent backup method?

Per the Globe and Mail
“military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days. Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics. The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said" Posted by: Kindltot at January 20, 2026 03:54 PM (rbvCR) 356

Judges shouldn't be Immune from going to Prison for their Disregard of the Law
Posted by: Tamaa the Drongo Bird at January 20, 2026 05:22 PM (wGqjj) Jonathan Turley: Gay Sexual Assaulter Don Lemon Is Talking Himself Into a Prison SentenceA lot of crimes turn on mental state -- "intent." James Comey can tell you all about that. He reads "intent" requirements into laws that don't have it, like the Espionage Act. Many times, you can take prohibited actions but not be chargeable with a crime because you didn't have the specified mental state. Don Lemon obviously did invade a church. The question is: Did he intend to traumatize them? Did he intend to impede their civil rights through threat or force? Did he show animus against their religion? Don Lemon is yet another 70 IQ DEI disaster, like Candace Owens, who thinks he's smart because he's been awarded Participation Trophy after Participation Trophy. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley urges him to shut his mouth, because he's on a media tour in which he satisfies each and every requirement of the crime out of his own cocksucker.In other words, he makes it clear he is targeting the church because he hates their religious views. Not just intent, but animus.

"They can only fire rubber bullets and they can't arrest you anyway because ICE has no arresting authority over crimes they witness that aren't done by illegal immigrants. Don't worry, Minneapolis PD won't arrest you, so you are cleared to do anything short of assault, and DHS can't touch you." The left needs the ICE agent to be charged with...something.

36 The left needs the ICE agent to be charged with...something. That the city hasn't even done anything is probably discouraging to them.
Some of the earliest messaging was that since she didn't hit the agent he had no grounds to shoot at her. I suspect the fact we have on video that she did hit him ends pretty much any angle the city/state could use to go after him Posted by: 18-1 at January 20, 2026 01:38 PM (sKqQm) ===== Not even failure theater, though. Any charge would be remanded to federal court anyway (federal law enforcement in the discharge of his duties, and all that). File the charges, get it taken away, the DOJ drops charges when they take up the case, and then blame the DOJ for the lack of actual action. At least they tried.

Last night we were watching Indiana beat the Miami thugs. I saw a ref who looked like Lemon (or Limón). I said, I think Don Lemon is a ref now and left MN as a protestor of church! He's everywhere, man!
I love that black lady with braids. When they speak the truth, get out of their way (I had one in my life growing up and never wanted her wrath). She also called him a FAGA, which is perfection. Black people in general are not fond of gheys, lesbians or trans. I hope Limón finds himself in a gen pop party to get his eternal angst finally out of his system. We get it, you don't like white people. We also know you are a narcissist who wants attention, Don. I guess your husband is not enough, nor your money, nor your faggoty activities.

You can confess to crimes all day long if:
a. The state win't charge you because it supports your crime; b. The feds won't charge you because they are sad limpdicks; c. The judge in either venue is likely to be rooting for you; d. The jury in either venue is likely to be hung at best; and/or e. No one is willing to dish out the punishment deserved extrajudicially. C, D, and E basically seal the deal here. And for "the process is the punishment" crowd, it isn't if a "legal defense fund" picks up the tab and you get a book deal out of it. The only way any of this gets fixed is if they murder or nearly murder someone or start burning stuff down and the Insurrection Act is invoked.

The Boycott: Why truckers are saying "No More" to California The truckers' boycott against California is a response to the state's "Green Diesel" mandates, which have effectively banned 70% of the trucking fleet. This has led to a significant disruption in the supply chain, with reports of food rotting in the Port of Los Angeles and empty shelves in grocery stores. Governor Gavin Newsom has been pleading for waivers to the mandates, but the drivers are not complying. The boycott has sparked discussions about the impact of such policies on the economy and the food supply, raising concerns about the future of the trucking industry in California and the broader implications for the nation's supply chain. ... why is this not news outside of California ?

He's also stupid and a loose cannon. That church stunt was a terrible idea, and the images that came out backfired on The Cause. These morons sent a grundle of rent-a-goons to harrass a small congregation of diverse races and quite a few children and older people. The key pic to come out of this stunt was the pretty Asian (Korean?) lady protecting her kid from menacing retards.

Don Lemon wasn't part of the interruption. He arrived once the scene broke out to interview people on the scene.
On the one hand, an ICE agents shot a mom in the face and cursed her as she was dying. On the other hand, some leftists were *rude in a church* where an ICE official is a leader. And a journalist recorded it! Who can say which is worse. A real fuckin' conundrum. The one guy in the church was whining, "I feel violated, I feel interrupted, I feel angry." Lol. I hope they do it again. Don Lemon was great! We need more journalism like this. He wasnt part of the protest, he didnt interrupt the service. He seems to have just done what a street journalist should do.

Posted by: 18-1 ====== You do understand how the federal system works? You cannot try a federal case using trial by information, all federal criminal cases must go before a grand jury for indictment which then goes to a judge for issuance of an arrest warrant. If a grand jury no bills, like in the Leticia case, you have to convene a new grand jury to issue a new indictment with new information gathered. Unless a federal agent directly observes the crime creating probable cause for arrest, then the case, including criminal misdemeanors must go before a grand jury in the district where the crime was committed. Unlike most all states, who try by information in most cases, not grand juries. Bill of Rights prevents the feds from doing the same. Posted by: whig at January 20, 2026 02:04 PM (E4rtv) 230

That they've just gone full CA in response instead shows the depths of their ideological commitment. It didn't surprise a lot of people who did predict this, but I thought there would be enough people saying, "Keep the rich people moderately happy by bypassing some red tape." Nope.

>>Normally, state and federal authorities work together like in red states. If Lemon had done this in somewhere like Arkansas or Alabama, he would have been arrested and held on state charges until the Feds got into the act with a superceding indictment.
Which is why what is happening in Minnesota is in no way analogous to what happened after J6. Not only is DC a federal district and not a state it is the heaviest Democrat concentrated area in the country. The locals were tripping over themselves to assist the feds. The authorities in Minnesota have made it abundantly clear they are on the side of the rioters and illegals and not only won't assist the feds they will do what they can to impeded them.

======= California would be a Chicom colony protected by nukes within a couple of years if you do that. And then attacking the next states. I briefly toyed with the idea of secession working and then I came to my senses. All it would do is create often indefensible borders for the Blue to invade the Red either overtly or covertly. It has to be stopped and this is the time and place to do it lest there be incredible amounts of blood shed in the future. The truth is most of the land mass of the US is red, including blue states. Most of the cities in every state are blue to dark blue. Same for the isolated rural places where universities have been plopped down. The reason why they are blue is government funding and higher education that has poisoned generations of Americans by indoctrination of shit that just ain't so. But that indoctrination has been reinforced by gobs of gubmint money, dependent jobs, and assortative marriage of likeminded products of our higher ed system. That has to be broken up to fix.

By Amira Abuzeid December 9, 2025 at 10:10 AM ET Three months after a deadly shooting in Minneapolis that left two students dead and injured 18 others as well as three adults, Archbishop Bernard Hebda, along with Auxiliary Bishops Kevin Kenney and Michael Izen, said a special Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church on Dec. 6 that included a rite of reparation to restore the church for worship. On Aug. 27, Robin Westman — who was born “Robert” and identified as a woman – shot through the stained glass windows of the church during a morning Mass filled with Annunciation school students in first through eighth grade, killing Fletcher Merkel, eight, and Harper Moyski, 10.

More importantly, they're blue because the second Dems have enough power to do so, they've been locking in the cheat. California was the beta test where they used the surge in illegals from the 1986 amnesty as cover to get the necessary power, and then Newsom eventually locked it in.
Posted by: Ian S. The problem with using the cheat is the same problem with Venezuela, the regime hollows itself out to simply being a paymaster to keep the people in check, eventually the money runs out to pay the enforcers and the system collapses. California is approaching collapse and without federal funds is likely to do so as their bought loyalty withers and blows away in teh wind.

The point of @358 is to remind Don Lemon and Keith Ellison why, perhaps, children at a church in Minneapolis might feel uncomfortable by being 'disrupted'.

Most cannot do statistical analysis or research design to save their ass, ... Posted by: whig at January 20, 2026 02:32 PM (E4rtv) You ain't kidding. This was a long time ago, but getting my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering at one of the top engineering graduate schools was held up for months because of the statistical incompetence of my faculty advisor, who wouldn't sign off on the last thing I needed for my degree because he didn't understand how statistical correlation work. Something you learn in Probability and Statistics 101. I was about to leave for a job, not willing to wait any longer, when suddenly he changed his tune. I can only imagine that the department head, or somebody, was told I was leaving without my degree, looked into what the problem was, and saw that this incompetent was screwing me over erroneously. This guy was Chinese, BTW, so undoubtedly a spy. At some point he even asked me to take some Chinese student under my wing (as if I owed him a favor). Didn't happen.

From Wiki:
"From 2018 to 2021, Finke was the senior producer at 1517 Media. There, she wrote and produced two documentary films: Ending the Silence: Confronting Sexual Shame in the Church and White Savior: Racism in the American Church. She also edited two nonfiction books for Beaming Books: Queerfully and Wonderfully Made and Welcoming and Affirming. In 2021 and 2022, Finke worked as Multimedia Storyteller for the ACLU of Minnesota. In late 2022, she was publicly critical of Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen for spreading the transphobic litter boxes in schools hoax. In March 2023, Finke started the Queer Equity Institute, a nonprofit that supports and encourages queer politicians." Top. Men.

> If they come to my church, we will simply close the doors. Then guys like me will lead them to the alter for prayer. I will pray for forgiveness, and the protester can pray for a speedy recovery.
Our church's plan if protesters invade is to conclude the meeting and leave. I recently got called to be a security guy. We're not supposed to be muscle, just be a friendly greeter, keep watch at the doors for threats, spot weirdos, lock the doors a few minutes after the meeting starts, and only let normies in after the doors are locked. That sort of thing. Posted by: bonhomme at January 20, 2026 12:42 PM (Yp6az) 83

I wouldn't have been as nice. The protester needs to be taken to a mental institution. Posted by: redridinghood at January 20, 2026 12:35 PM (NpAcC) So I looked up this: Screaming, in and of itself, is not typically considered assault. It crosses the legal threshold into assault when it is combined with words and actions that create a credible threat of immediate physical harm. The key elements are the threat itself and the apparent ability to carry it out, causing the victim to reasonably fear for their safety. The threat must be of imminent harm, meaning it is about to happen right away. A guy screams at me, he cn fu*k off, but if he follows me and points a finger in my face, and even one drop of spittle touches me, that is, in my opinion, assault and I can now defend myself.

DHS's been arresting people for obstruction in Minneapolis for weeks, DOJ's been charging them.
Acting like DOJ doesn't do anything because in the 12 hours since a crime there hasn't been an execution is silly. Things happen weeks later, after evidence is gathered and presented to a federal grand jury. That's how the legal and law enforcement process works. The arrests outside of immediate police presence tend to happen after the stories have fallen out of the news cycle, no one notices them, and everyone forgets the original story anyway.

Posted by: Crusader I hope the time never comes that you will be judged the same. They feared for their lives, they knew that any violence including shoving would result in them being charged and their family destroyed. It's easy to demand law abiding, church going citizens to start the war for others. ------ No. No real man sits on their hands thru that episode. You get you and your family out, or you band with other *men* to disrupt the disruption, but you simply can't sit there and just assume the same mob that wants to lecture you for 20 minutes might not also want to do violence to you once the lecture is over.

Are we strong and brave enough to do it? I hope so. With the advent of Trump's second administration, I am actually starting to believe so. Trump may yet turn out to be the man who saves our country - or his era may turn out to be the Indian summer of the American Republic. For now, I am thankful for all blessings, great and small, and intend to continue praying for President Trump and for our nation and for the downfall of the diabolical ideologies that constitute the Left, and for the defeat of their war against the good and the beautiful and the sane.

Democrats, including a state attorney general, are all over the media saying it’s okay for protesters to storm a mosque during a religious service.

But when a scumbag attorney general like Keith Ellison (D-MN) says that anti-ICE/pro-rapist-murderer-child-molester protesters storming a Christian church during services for the express purpose of disrupting and intimidating attendees is “First Amendment activity,” he’s saying it’s okay to storm a mosque to disrupt an Islamic worship service.

Because apparently, in 2026, we’re now shopping for constitutional guidance in the same aisle as Jim Crow. During Supreme Court arguments on gun laws, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson suggested that the Black Codes should count as part of constitutional history. You know, those charming post Civil War laws written specifically to make sure freed slaves stayed powerless, disarmed, and miserable. But don’t worry. According to this logic, since they existed “back then,” they deserve a seat at the grown ups’ table. Never mind that their entire purpose was to crush civil rights.

Hitchcock..pfft, poser.
Targets (196 "A startling directorial debut by Peter Bogdanovich mixes an homage to Boris Karloff horror films with a timely sniper story to create a thriller with modern baggage and old school shock and awe." Roger Ebert was less enthusiastic, stating in his review that the movie would have been better without Karloff's scenes which I find thick headed and offensive. On the other hand, the always correct and brilliant Quentin Tarantino stated "It was one of the most powerful films of 1968 and one of the greatest directorial debuts of all time. And I believe the best film ever produced by Roger Corman." Posted by: Antifa at January 20, 2026 01:40 PM (HTCU3) 398
> And now stuff is being released and absolutely nothing is happening and nobody gives a shit. But dozens of DOJ lawyers who could be doing things like going after rioters and spending time reviewing files and redacting victims names. Super.
This has always been a losing argument. Unless the documents specifically name Trump as a pedo, the entire left will claim coverup. Many on the right have their own pet name that, if not named, will make them believe there is a coverup. I am personally of the belief that the entire chain of evidence has hopelessly been compromised. I believe that many of the victims helped victimize others. Girls recruited and compromised other girls. This makes the task of protecting victims a Sisyphean task. I also believe the juiciest proof of pedo activity is squirreled away in NSA, CIA, or other private intelligence hides far away from Trump's investigators. Think about it. Imagine a CIA guy who could tell Bill Gates to do anything he wanted. Would he give up that power? Especially if nobody but him knows where the videos are?

Maybe violence works for the left because traditional media propagandizes leftists to view it as perfectly within the bounds of reasonability while recoiling with horror at any similar reaction from the right. The right doesn't have the same propaganda tools to turn their supporters into unthinking sacks of flesh.

... which is of course the goal; they want an overreaction to the violent protests that they are planning in blue cities ...
------------- Every reaction or non-reaction is always framed as "overreaction" regardless (e.g. the retarded racist Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, Don Scott, publicly stated that President Trump shot an unarmed white woman in the face in Minneapolis). Trump should have invoked the Insurrection Act on May 26, 2020 -- the first night of the Domestic Terrorist Burning, Looting, and Murdering riots -- and sent in the National Guard and/or US Military with orders to disperse or be shot.

Larry Correia talks about the left and violence.
The left sees violence as a dial- you can get a little violent, or a lot violent, but you can tone it down if it gets too much. The right sees it as a switch. Either we are a peaceful republic or it's all out war. If the left keeps playing with their dial, they might flip the switch because they don't actually realize they're playing with fire.

And that would have been the end of that. Kurt Schlichter has thoughts. I go back and forth, not because I'm a RINO but because I'm interested in having the biggest impact. There’s talk of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act. No, he should keep that in his pocket. Remember, you see the individual encounters in Minnesota all over social media and the cable news, but there are only a few of them. The whole city is not in flames. It’s just a few fights, and there are 3,000 agents there. There’s no need to change the scenario and allow the left to alter the focus by putting the military on the street. Remember, they changed the focus from enabling Somali fraud to ICE being mean and shooting moronic lesbians who tried to run them over. We don’t need to slow down what ICE is doing.

That they are unfamiliar with the realities of attacking men with guns doesn't prevent them from obeying the directives of their puppet masters, and it is only the restraint of law enforcement and the indecision of our political leaders that has minimized bloodshed.

The right sees it as a switch. Either we are a peaceful republic or it's all out war.

Recall the Solitary Dancer demonstration. He takes the bold step of drawing attention to himself. The first follower plays the crucial role of affirming the dancer, and encouraging others to join.
More people joining in creates and reinforces a kind of vortex that first pulls in those who are moderately aligned. The vortex reaches a critical mass that pulls in the mildly aligned, and under the right circumstances, pulls in otherwise reluctant participants who fear non-participation will make them stand out as conspicuously as the original Solitary Dancer. This is what is playing out in Minnesota. The vortex is going after the reluctant participants. This is new. The Summer of Floyd lacked this component.

Yeah, I think 1890s is fair... I don't think it could have survived until the 20th. It was already getting cheaper to use sharecroppers, and there was more of them than slaves, and not to mention it put restless, directionless poor people and squatters to work instead of brigandage and potential rebellion.

There's often a method to Trump's madness even if not evident. He's up to several things with "Greenland"
Trump & Co recently released a report on US global strategic priorities: 1. Fortress Americas with a latter-day Monroe Doctrine 2. The Far East. We'll try to get China to play nice, but if not see #1 3. Europe. Has lost its way. If they don't find their way back, it's on them. See #1 4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1 "Greenland" is clearly part of #1. But it's also #3. Denmark has sovereignty over Greenland only in a nominal way for historic reasons now obscure. You'd think our NATO allies would appreciate our strategic interest and play along. But no. By sending a token resistance force our NATO allies are proving that the Alliance is long past its expiration. We should offer Greenlanders the same deal we give Puerto Ricans.

Just a point of order.
Although it is common in English to make "gulag" a common noun and to pluralize it, in Russian it is an acronym, GULAG, standing for "Glávnoye upravléniye ispravítel'no-trudovýkh lageréy" or "Main Directorate of Correctional Labor Camps"), and was the name for the entire labor-camp system.

That call, I'm sure it was run in by coach, to run it on 4th from the 12 yard line, to try to boost the 3 point lead, was a risky one, and Fernando Mendoza's run, particularly the dive over the goal line and how he had the ball extended out and then when falling, tucked it back in tight when he saw where he was on the line, was one for the ages.

My guess is slavery would have faded away by about 1880 anyway. It was rapidly becoming economically untenable.
Maybe? The industrial revolution was certainly coming to the plantations and tractors are cheaper than humans in the long run. But you (the plantation owner) have to have a pretty good financial cushion to be able to see the long run and human stoop labor remains a thing even on some farms today. Hence the (perceived) "need" for cheap immigrant labor.

A wave of right-wing social media accounts launched near-identical attacks against a little-known Republican-backed bill aimed at restricting the export of advanced AI chips to adversaries, raising questions about whether the effort was coordinated to derail legislation publicly opposed by Nvidia.
The AI OVERWATCH Act was introduced on Dec. 18, but seemingly out of nowhere on Thursday, a group of influencers and X accounts — including Laura Loomer, Ryan Fournier, Wall Street Mav and Defiant L’s — launched a barrage of attacks against the bill, ModelRepublic first reported. The timing, language and even shared errors across the posts prompted some to question whether the messaging may have been coordinated. Despite posts characterizing the bill as an effort led by Democrats and “Never-Trumpers,” the legislation was introduced by Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and has no Democratic sponsors. Posted by: SMOD at January 20, 2026 12:06 PM (RHGPo) 243

They wanted to get Trump for inciting J-6, by his "rhetoric".
However, nothing Trump said in the J-6 rally approaches Walz contention that ICE is going "door-to-door" asking "where the People of Color are at". That's a patent lie, and it stirs up violent reaction in its target group so that they claim they are "protecting their neighborhoods" (Not against forcible sodomy of children, as the record shows.) Chris Plante did a brilliant subversion of Mayor Fried's statement that "thousands of people who don't share their values" invaded Mini-appletini. Since, Fried does not mean that about the vast number of immigrants dropped off in the city, then those immigrants--who know little about American values--must share Fried's values. Such as forcible sodomy on children. ICE does not share that value. So Fried is right. Posted by: Axeman at January 20, 2026 12:25 PM (krQz2) 327

Wiki-
The painting is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is praised for its dramatic depiction of the threatening mood of blackening skies and eerily illuminated terrain prior to the storm itself. The painting has been connected to mounting tensions before the Civil War, which were often expressed in terms of natural imagery Posted by: redridinghood at January 20, 2026 09:36 AM (NpAcC) 25

That looks like Blue Mesa Reservoir as seen the U.S. 50 looking north from the Lake Fork branch inlet. The sailboat is probably headed west toward the marina that's next to the dam. Below that is the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, a marvel of nature that rivals Arizona's Grand Canyon in many aspects.

Approaching Thunder Storm is one of the earliest works in a small series of coastal storm subjects painted by Heade. Here, the artist has depicted Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, looking toward Rocky Point from Prudence Island, basing the scene on a sketch of an approaching storm he witnessed around 1858.

Yes. Just once as well. Was walking from bus stop to house after being sent home just 2 hours into the school day Superintendent lost his job over sending the kids to school that day. Bus almost went off the road before even getting to our stop, so he definitely deserved it. An eighth-mile walk in blizzard conditions seems very long. Fortunately, the van was parked at the bottom of the hill so sister, neighbor girl, and I listened to the thunder while resting out of the wind for a few minutes before finishing our walk.

https://tinyurl.com/y44jz4hh From his The Rake's Progress series, we see the sozzled rake having his pocket picked by a prostitute. But I want to draw your attention to the two women at the left of the painting. The one taking off her stockings was known as a "posture moll." For a fee, she would strip naked and then, standing on the mirrored plate held up by the old woman with a candle behind her, let herself be examined from all angles and positions. The moll, however, was NOT a prostitute and you were not allowed to touch her. Thus endeth today's lesson on Georgian sex practices.

expulsion of Hollywood.
- Well, there all movie threads.. I liked Knives Out so much I decided to check out some other Rian Johnson films and so watched Brick, a noir set in high school. I pretty much liked it although it clearly is not the polished, professional work of his later films. For example, it can be hard to follow based on the high school gangster patter. "Lunch" has a special meaning. Who or where one eats lunch indicates his associates. Also, the film is almost entirely lacking in humor. Shot at his own high school, Johnson said it's not how high was but how it felt. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Like Shakespeare Except More Betterer at January 20, 2026 10:37 AM (L/fGl) 225

US attorney, FBI expose major SNAP fraud committed by 2 Boston men. $7M in food stamps for hungry families allegedly stolen.
The men — Antonio Bonheur, 74, and Saul Alisme, 21 — allegedly operated their scams out of two small variety stores in the Mattapan neighborhood, according to the Department of Justice (1). Despite their small size and limited food offerings, these stores allegedly reported extremely high SNAP redemption volumes that went “far beyond what could reasonably be supported by legitimate food sales.” Posted by: SMOD at January 20, 2026 10:37 AM (RHGPo) 228

A bit of home here since I grew up on Narragansett Bay. I love the way Heade captures the light and how it effects colors as a storm approaches. It is a very different thing from regular sunlight. The painting also shows how calm everything gets before the front comes through. The sailboat is moving calmly and the water is flat and dark. Literally the calm before the storm. It's a peaceful summer scene on the protected areas of the bay, probably on the western side. I really like the man and his pup sitting peacefully, watching the weather.

165 California losing over $1B to rival states for film, TV production — despite Newsom tax incentives California saw 20% fewer movie and TV projects filming in the state compared to a year ago... The slump came even after Democrat Newsom signed legislation doubling California’s film and TV tax credit program from $330 million to $750 million annually, in an effort to keep such projects local. ------ "Breaking Bad" was originally going to be filmed in Riverside CA. The setting was changed to New Mexico because it was much cheaper to film there. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at January 20, 2026 10:49 AM (xPNeT) 258

Screw Greenland, maybe annexing Mexico would do infinitely more for our national security
Allow me to begin by saying that I favor peace, love, and harmony. I, in no way, wish to see harm come to my fellow man. That having been said, bombing every known cartel location and hanging the Mexican President as a warning to all future Mexican Presidents would be more cost efficient than annexation.

Speaking after receiving an award at the National Action Network’s annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Legislative Breakfast in Washington, DC, former Attorney General Eric Holder (D) delivered a sweeping critique of what he characterized as state-sponsored voter suppression, racial gerrymandering, and the erosion of democratic institutions.
Let's see... - Routine election day shenanigans? Check. - Insisting on 'majority-minority' Congressional districts? Check. - 50%+ of all federal spending is fraud? Schools for the benefit of teachers? Police failing to keep the peace? Judges allowing criminals to walk? Check, check, check, and check.

Good morning kids. Yesterday I took quite a bit of flak in the comments about my asking what is PresidentTrump's "fixation" about Greenland.
I'm sick of it too, as well as being sick of his whining about not getting a Nobel. Trump has the greatest opportunity since 1865 to shatter the Democrat party and yet he is pissing it away. Just as I predicted after Renee Good, the Dems are doubling down and he isn't doing a damned thing about it.

Not but a few months ago, a tranny broke into a church service and shot children, killing them.
And again another church was hit in Nigeria, killing and enslaving the parishioners. And in Michigan, a church was burned during service and several killed. But Don Lemon says it's white supremacy, not valid actual fear, that caused the members to panic in terror when his group busted in yelling and screaming. The city and state let this happen. It's time to declare an insurrection, order dispersal of the crowds and restoration of law. Then invoke the Act when they refuse. Dissolve the city government of Minneapolis and the state government of Minnesota, arrest the leaders, and place the state under martial law.

With deep introspection, we should ask ourselves, who is programming us to point to a particular criminal and demand that this person needs to be taken down hard?
Why Comey? There are thousands just as bad or far worse whose names we don't know. What influencers are shaping our desires for particular people to be arrested and incarcerated? Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at January 20, 2026 08:02 AM (/TiS1) Not just that. Who is programming people to care about a specific issue until something stupid is done about it?

One of the things about media people I find curious to the point of total fascination is their total lack of shame. Not just regarding the risible lies, or the cringe-inducing throne sniffing, or the naked betrayals of public trust, but in all aspects of life.
Jeffrey Toobin jacked off in a Zoom meeting. Don Lemon got caught smearing his scrotum sweat on a waiter's lips at a tiki bar. Both sidled directly back up to the media trough with a smile, as though these things never happened. I would not jack off in a business meeting or commit revolting sexual harassment against a service worker. But if I did, and I got caught - that would be that. I would take a job in a completely different industry so that I would never encounter former colleagues, and move to a city far, far away. I would hide from that ignominy. But not them. They're completely missing something most people have. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at January 20, 2026 08:52 AM (BI5O2) 172

>>I believe the unrest in Minneapolis was originally funded through the Somali fraud. That's my money funding it, at the start, not some billionaire.
Do you really think a group of people with the combined IQ of a potato organized this massive fraud ring that isn't just happening in Minnesota but nationwide without help? Somalis are a weapon not the masterminds. Somalis were intentionally imported and set up in enclaves like Minneapolis, Lewiston, ME, Columbus, OH and others and taught how to game billions of our tax dollars in exchange for political support. They've turned purple areas deep blue and guaranteed Democrats certain seats. There is no way this scale of fraud could have gone on for so long without a whole lot of help from politicians and power brokers. Mike Benz compared the people behind all of these scams as seed investors who start organizations with their money and then attract huge amount of tax dollars. The people who attacked the church are the same people who rioted in 2020. It's a lot of the same networks and they most definitely have billionaire backing.

His organizations are quietly funding much of what’s going on today. Why don’t we “bag him”? Because he got out of the US when he realized he was way past the law, and ostensibly moved to Singapore. But other reports say that he actually spends most of his time now in Shanghai, under the personal protection of Xi. If he does go to Singapore, no doubt he is with a full Chinese military security team around him. Did I mention where most of his money comes from? Take a big guess.

The various players had billions to work with. No, I do not think the Somali's dreamt up this shit. Yet, the focus of the administration is on Minneapolis.

“Illegal alien” isn’t a pejorative, it’s a legal term or technical term. “Neighbor” sounds so much nicer though. Benign. “Undocumented” makes it sound as if they simply lost their wallet. Could happen to anybody. “Newcomers” is a little Orwellian.
“Immigrant” is a legal term as well. Someone who entered the United States through a port of entry and has authorization to be in the United States. The perversion of words, and language, is part of the conditioning process. Ultimately designed to prevent actual thought. Thoughts become words, and words become actions.

--- For decades, the leaders of both parties have told you that you need to get used to less. Less pay, less house, less car, less vacation, less healthcare. While everything got more expensive.

With Artemis, NASA has done none of those things, or if it has, it has done it tentatively and not sufficiently. SLS has only launched once. It has not been tested as rigorously as Apollo tested the Saturn V. It remains a large unknown.
More significantly, Orion will be flying humans using a life support system that has never been tested in space at all. Before sending Artemis II to the Moon, NASA intends to hold the capsule in Earth orbit for several hours to check the system out, but that is certainly not the same as the two-week mission of Apollo 7. ======================== NASA should not fly the Artemis mission.

Of course he knows. Nobody has been more attacked from more directions including trying to blow his head off than Trump.

Bondi had to fire 6 prosecutors in the MN office for refusing to go along with investigations of the corruption and it's just assumed that new, fully formed prosecutors who will follow the law appear instantaneously and fix everything by lunch time.

Rand Paul:
Youtube and its parent company Google deserves to be sued. For the past three weeks YouTube has been hosting a video that is a calculated lie, falsely accusing me of taking money from Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. It refused to remove the video. It is, of course, a ludicrous accusation, but paid trolls are daily spreading this lie across the internet. This untruth is essentially an accusation of treason, which then leads the internet mob to call for my death. Advocating for liability for Google is no small step for me.

Greg Gutfeld:
This isn’t about immigration. It isn’t about ICE. It isn’t about Trump. It is about suicidal empathy that is driven by a rescue fantasy. You have all of these young, middle-aged women going out there because they have some emptiness in them, going out there in this rescue delusion—helping people they don’t know, strangers who are guilty of crimes. How can you defend that? This is not protesters going to a church. That is a mob. The people that invented the phrase “safe spaces” are breaking it, frightening kids. These are the people that call us fascists, and they’re hunting people. These are the people that claim to defend women, and yet are defending men who abuse women. These are the people that call us homophobic, and yet they want to out ICE guys for using—I don’t know—gay sex apps. Let’s be honest here. Fry’s a pussy. He’s scared of these people, or else he would stand up for it, calling it love. There’s no such thing as a mob with love. Imagine showing this tape to Don Lemon 10 years ago—15 years ago—and saying, “Is this where you saw yourself, Lemon? Crashing a church service? Scaring kids? Attacking a pastor? Was this your hope and dream—to do this?” Posted by: SMOD at January 20, 2026 10:54 AM (RHGPo) 335
Good morning, all and thanks, J.J.
From above, "In Trump’s first term, Democrats formed a “resistance” movement ..." Yes, among others, the Indivisible Movement appeared late 2016 with an viral online guide ('Guide for Resisting Trump Agenda') to help progressives organize & emulate Tea Party tactics of pressuring their members of Congress. It was cofounded by a young married couple, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, former Congressional staffers. They're still very much around, instrumental in organizing the "No Kings" protests. In fact, I'm listening to their 1.15.26 'What's the Plan? A Weekly Discussion with Leah and Ezra,' YouTube. (What's the Plan was previously hosted by the couple on Zoom but now, 2026, it has moved to being cohosted with Lemonada Media as a weekly podcast. At present, they're speaking of 'Lines in the Sand' (State your demands!)) for ICE and DHS funding, and are pulling Jeffries and Schumer into the discussion, calling them out for lack of leadership. They also are talking about not accepting the authoritarian overreach of the current (Trump) administration, along with counter training, involvement and protesting.

A wave of right-wing social media accounts launched near-identical attacks against a little-known Republican-backed bill aimed at restricting the export of advanced AI chips to adversaries, raising questions about whether the effort was coordinated to derail legislation publicly opposed by Nvidia.
The AI OVERWATCH Act was introduced on Dec. 18, but seemingly out of nowhere on Thursday, a group of influencers and X accounts — including Laura Loomer, Ryan Fournier, Wall Street Mav and Defiant L’s — launched a barrage of attacks against the bill, ModelRepublic first reported. The timing, language and even shared errors across the posts prompted some to question whether the messaging may have been coordinated. Despite posts characterizing the bill as an effort led by Democrats and “Never-Trumpers,” the legislation was introduced by Republican Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and has no Democratic sponsors. Posted by: SMOD at January 20, 2026 12:05 PM (RHGPo) 343

I paid little attention to it, not being a country fan then, and so I don't recall if she was on it then or not.

From IMDb: "[Dolly] fell in love with Carl Dean, who ran an asphalt-paving business; they married on May 30, 1966 and they stayed married until his death in 2025. In 1967 her singing caught the attention of Porter Wagoner, who hired her to appear on his program, The Porter Wagoner Show (1961). She stayed with the show for 7 years, their duets became famous, and she appeared with his group at the Grand Ole Opry; she also toured and sold records."
So she was not on the show when I recall glimpsing it. I'm sure I'd have remembered her. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 20, 2026 04:40 AM (wzUl9) 23

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at January 20, 2026 *** I don't know Williams either. Modern country has lost what it used to have, the kind of "story songs" that caught at your heart, and the sense of "fun" in tunes like "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home." Though even that had a thread of seriousness to it: A wife is fed up with her husband's drinking at bars, so she proclaims she's going to make their house over into a honky-tonk bar so he'll stay at home with her. If you don't know Randy Travis's "Three Wooden Crosses," I suggest you look it up. It's like a complete short story in song and has a wonderful Christian message.

I believe that jury-rig is the older of the two terms by quite a bit and comes from the world of sailing where it is is strictly employed, even today (one would not use jerry-rig on a sailboat for sure, maybe one of those noisy powerboat contraptions) but I believe jerry-rig is also really old. So one can also use jerry-rig in any other setting than marine, I would say. Hmm might have to research this a bit more.

The other classic country "story song" I love and say that it's a complete short story is Garth Brooks's "The Beaches of Cheyenne." Like a lot of the material he did in his early years in the spotlight, it is dynamite -- and seems to be something that nobody in country music had ever done before.

Working at Christian AM radio in the late '80s and into the late '90s, I came to a strong appreciation of the best of that music. It was no longer all choir music, hymns, or old-style gospel music, I learned. The songwriters and singers who came along then had grown up with pop music and were influenced by it, melding the Christian message with solid and often catchy tunes. "He's Alive" is one of the very best of all time. Not only the story we all know, but a driving and haunting melody too.
I found out only recently that Herb Alpert's 1967 album cut, "Wade in the Water," an irresistible and haunting melody too, is an old-time gospel song.

I don't know if I would have had the courage to do what they did. I set the rest of the movie to record. Posted by: Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK) at January 20, 2026 *** And it's even more amazing when you realize they were in for the duration. Vietnam guys, I understand, knew they were only in for a year or so unless they re-upped. In WWI and WWII, and probably Korea (?), unless you were badly wounded, you were in it until the war was over. Though I believe there was something called "points," which you earned in service. The impression I have is that once you reached a certain total, you could go home. I don't know how that worked.

The 1932 The Most Dangerous Game w/ Joel McCrea and Fay Wray is coming up on Movies! at 5 am central. I know of it, but have never seen it. This would have been the year before Fay became famous for her turn in King Kong.
As for McCrea, he was a solid performer for several decades. His title role as "Sergeant Hook" with Barbara Stanwyck in the '50s is a great adaptation of the Jack Schaefer Western short story (which I admire tremendously), and he is perfectly cast.

Gas Town sounds like it's an MMO game in a novel where the players don't know they're doing real work that is making the company immensely wealthy beyond their cover as a games company. Kind of a variation on 'Severance', which itslef is an homage to a brief late 60s trope in Science fiction after the publication of some influential neurology research. This also inspired Julian Jaynes and his wacko theory.

The real question is, What is this "I" who is doing these things - who is peering out from behind those two eyeballs to take in the world and perceive and interact with it? Who is running the BASIC code and counting on the fingers? I have no answer to that question. But claiming that it's merely a bigger, faster version of what my old Z-80 does, is a reductio beyond absurdum. IMHO.

"Being bombarded with Frontier fiber ads, but soon as Verizon takes over Frontier and what changes will Verizon make."
I lived where Verizon installed fiber optic cable in Carrollton, TX. They called it FIOS. Eventually, they sold it off to Frontier. I guess it's making money now and they want it back. I won't bet against a company fucking up a wet dream, but maybe there's someone left who could remind the suits why what they acquired was making money when the original company did not.

That is what I have cynically thought. Right Now, we have a couple generations who refuse to do any physical labor and insist on living in the most expensive locations, then whine about "affordability". When this AI madness collapses and investors get burned on their special use buildings, all of the zoning, permits and infrastructure will be placed in these outlying areas (eg. Micron in upper NYS). The next generation can move out into the sticks to make appliances, pharmaceuticals and parts that we previously offshored to our enemies. They will have roads, industrial scale water and electricity, smaller affordable homes to live in, and be outside the reach of the foreigner/monsters we keep in the urban hellscape.

Digital detoxing, apparently, is a thing. The solution in this guy's case? Use a phone that does less and then use the hotspot function so he could use his laptop.

It's morphed into the issue of zoomers that are arrogant in thinking they have the world at their fingertips, but are so poorly educated they don't know what to ask or how to evaluate sources for credibility.

Ann Arbor in the 1960s had hippies running wild. Detroit and the auto industry boomed in the 1920s. Grand Rapids officially became “Beer City USA” in the 1990s. But the title of “Most Epic Decade in Michigan History” belongs to Hartland in the 1970s. Hartland? Where’s that? Hartland is a sleepy suburb in Livingston County that’s best known these days for the bad traffic at US-23 and M-59, but in the 1970s it was far and away the coolest place in the entire state. Consider all that happened in this tiny bedroom community back then: HERNANDO, Fla. (CBS12) — An 81-year-old Florida woman with a criminal past allegedly arranged a murder-for-hire meeting with an undercover detective, landing her behind bars. Detectives with the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit and Major Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, took 81-year-old Elouise Leland into custody after receiving confidential information that she was actively seeking someone to carry out a murder.

There are several YT channels that render popular songs in Latin and, being a nerd, I listen to them. One such song is Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants to Rule the World. I've thought the song was kind of catchy but I've never really thought about it. Now that I'm plumbing the depths of Latin vocabulary and grammar, I am thinking about it. And the above three quotes on consequences brings it to mind. I could be full of shit (I frequently am) but I think the song is about our being constantly forced to make decisions based only on imperfect information and, therefore, frequently our plans made with the best of intentions fail. When that happens, we should not despair, surrender, or blame others. We should accept the consequences, try to learn, and move forward.

Evening, late night people,
'Twas a fine evening, until the water leaks from last week recurred just now. Three separate places in kitchen and bathroom. I've mopped up and jammed towels into what appear to be the entry points. Tomorrow I call the office -- again -- and tell them this time that if I slip and fall in the water they have allowed to seep onto my floors, I will be talking to a lawyer. (Which I will.) Maybe that'll get some action. In the meantime I plan to stop at the local U-Haul office and get some prices for picking up and storing my possessions, shipping them, and the price of a small box-on-wheels that (I hope) I can tow with my most necessary possessions. It's past time to get the hell out of this pesthole. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at January 19, 2026 10:25 PM (wzUl9) 70

Yep, as far as any big show coming down here South. It was a big whopper, hit G4 level earlier, but the magnetic field was pointing in the wrong direction. That's Bz, the component of the magnetic field pointing "vertically", perpendicular to the ecliptic plane.

B) I always felt that "drugs are bad, mmkay?", but I've seen that "if it doesn't affect anyone" usually, um, actually affects a lot of people, so I'm not as libertarian as I used to be.

----- If "our" side really cared about education, they'd require a very specific content course about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Teach the facts--they killed 2 million people in Cambodia, a nation of about 8 million people. That's 25% of their population. I'd especially love a rebuttal from fake Indian Elizabeth Warren, fake communist Bernie (who has 3 homes and is a multimillionaire), and Karen Bass (who is a fake mayor and a fake everything--she couldn't run a taco stand, much less a top 5 American city) of why this particular part of history shouldn't be taught.

I’d be skeptical of anybody who hasn’t modified some of their beliefs from say age 15 or 20 to age 40 to 50. That’s crazy. Some a little earlier, some a little later. Everyone learns at their own pace. Some people grow old, but they never grow up.
That’s a hallmark of the classic fuckhead, really. Stuck in Junior High. Permanently. One of my first stirrings of skepticism was “environmentalists” were a lot different than the hunters and fishermen and outdoorsman guys I grew up around. Even the hard core leftists were big on barbecue and good eats. Not the crunchy granolas, they were into weird foods and crystal healings and superstitions and seemed a little bit off somehow. I found it difficult to find genuine people, because that’s what Time-Life told me it was about. Trustafarians cosplaying as poor is easy when mommy and daddy can pay for your vagabond hippie lifestyle. The genuine hippies were pretty cool, they weren’t really into tie-dye and frying brain cells. Posted by: Common Tater at January 19, 2026 11:28 PM (kGQLW) 213

He'd find out their most important issue, and then send Clinton in to hammer home that issue. Some states he was diametrically opposed to other states.

The trouble is they can see and predict the strength of a CME, but they can't see the direction of the magnetic field until it gets to an instrument that can measure it.

With the policies he espoused as President, could BJC be elected as a Democrat today?
Posted by: mikeski won't ask and won't tell I know you guys make fun of Skeletor Carville. But, the fact remains his campaign strategy not only was effective, it has some of you convinced Clinton had a position. He had ONE position....to be president (and doggy style, but that's a separate issue). Posted by: Orson That's why I said "espoused," though I guess Webster says that means both "advocated" and "adhered to." I meant only the former. I agree with your assessment of his fidelity to both his stated morals and his wife. Although I assume he was happy with a variety of sexual positions, as long as it wasn't with Hillary.

I was watching a Fox News video clip from Minneapolis. A couple of software engineers were having lunch in a street-side diner, when they were misidentified by the mob as ICE agents. "We were just having lunch" and "we install software apps in Minnesota" and "we're not for ICE". And that wasn't good enough for the nutcases. After they proved themselves to be goofballs and nitwits, they agitated out with "Are you FOR us?" "We're not for anybody!" "That's not good enough. If you aren't WITH US, you're AGAINST US!"

That "Reedy Creek" area that's in Florida but not, like some tourist-trap version of Vatican City? The raghead was "known to police," and had been found not guilty of attempted murder back in 2021.

But just to be clear: Enoch Burke was NOT arrested for misuse of pronouns; he was arrested for trespassing on school property after he was fired.

Change in political attitudes over the years...well, POLITICS has changed over the years. It used to be that at least major national issues were about the budget split, 45% domestic-55% defense or vice versa. The corruption was not as widely known and nowhere near as obvious.

And finally Dr. Thomas Sowell nails it when looking at the AWFLs
------------ "The virtue of Pride can best be described by the term: "moral ambitiousness." It means that one must earn the right to hold oneself as one's own highest value by achieving one's own moral perfection—which one achieves by never accepting any code of irrational virtues impossible to practice and by never failing to practice the virtues one knows to be rational—by never accepting an unearned guilt and never earning any, or, if one has earned it, never leaving it uncorrected—by never resigning oneself passively to any flaws in one's character—by never placing any concern, wish, fear or mood of the moment above the reality of one's own self-esteem. And, above all, it means one's rejection of the role of a sacrificial animal, the rejection of any doctrine that preaches self-immolation as a moral virtue or duty." -- Ayn Rand, "Galt's Speech" Posted by: ShainS -- 'The Warmth Of Collectivism' is Code for 'Hell On Earth' at January 20, 2026 12:21 AM (nXhai) 280

And fuck the filibuster while we're at it. Remember: voter ID is supported by a 80% of Americans, including a solid majority of BOTH parties. So why isn't Congress passing it? We know why, don't we?

Ok, yes, the gas bubble is standard treatment. My mom had a terrible time holding the position. She has neck and upper back issues.
She is terrified of being put out, and had the buckle put on her eye with only a local anesthesia. Her eyes are very deepest and it was an absolute nightmare for her and the surgeon. Let them knock you out, if that's the next step! It's a pretty easy surgery. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at January 20, 2026 01:02 AM (Ezs10) 298
Hi, ARiK!
Cold outside, but at least no snow or icy roads... Nice and warm indoors. How are you? Posted by: JQ at January 20, 2026 01:02 AM (rdVOm) 299
Farmer, are you having to remain face down til the bubble settles or does what it does? If so, I hope you have one of those facedown chairs. My Dad needed one. It made things more pleasant.

Posted by: JQ at January 20, 2026 02:56 AM (rdVOm) Somebody got me a shirt that has a skull and crossbones on the back, except the bones are wrenches, so basically a skull and cross wrenches. It has my last name under it and says "If **** can't fix it we're screwed". Its a cool shirt. I am a machine whisperer. I lean over it and whisper "you will work, or I will fucking destroy you and you will come back as chinese cookingwear. Its funny when people come to see their bikes start for the first time. If we do a new motor for somebody who is doing their own install we want them to bring it back for the first time start up so I can check everything, carb jetting, timing, oil line routing, and most important to make sure the oil pump has oil and there is no air in the lines. The customer always asks "do you think it's gonna fire right up?" I'll say yeah I'm pretty sure because it won't like me when I'm angry. Usually without fail its running by the 2nd crank.

The Furgitive cat looks like a shorthair version of Miss Linda's late Siberian Angelique. Same blue eyes and airbrushed face markings.
An odd, crackbrained cat she was. She'd leap up and sit in your lap. If you moved your leg an inch, though, she'd growl at you -- but did not leave.

Only saw the Northern Lights once, in 1969. August, a Wednesday night right before Woodstock. Nanuet, New York in a church parking lot on a high hill overlooking The NYS Thruway. Really brilliant, we stood and watched for at least an hour. My parents had seen them a number of times before growing up in Norway. Didn't realize then how special it was and that I might never see it again.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere The flesh of sea-fowl is generally too rancid to find much favour with fastidious palates. Sailors indeed eat the livers and hearts of the penguins, which are exceedingly palatable, but the black flesh of the body is rank and oily, and has rather a perfumed taste. Some voyagers, however, tell us, that eaten in ragouts, they are good as that made from a hare. Posted by: Penguin Facts at January 19, 2026 08:07 PM (vFG9F) 92

I think the morphine drip they gave me after 48 hours of no sleep was the most satisfying thing I have had in my life.
Posted by: Opinion fact That was with the six crushing vomit filled hours when my gallbladder went bad. Yeah. Only pain I've ever thrown up from. Hit me with the dilaudid and sleep was almost instantaneous. I did pull a prank on my nurse and I kinda felt bad. As soon as she started pushing the dilaudid, I acted like I passed out. As soon as I heard her suck air, my eyes popped open. She then realized I was joking. Posted by: rickb223 at January 19, 2026 08:16 PM (0x0rk) 109

You can see them get pissed and pass me, and then I laugh and say "See you in the ditch soon." Happens quite often. I've seen two pileups up close. The first one was in front of me, I knew the stretch of highway and was tapping the brakes, clearing my tail, and easing down my speed when it happened and cars started bouncing all over the place. I was unscathed, the cars behind me had room to stop (also I was forcing them to slow down). The other one was a pickup truck acting immortal losing it, hitting the guardrail and doing a donut right on the interstate and I just held it steady and eased down, passing right by the carnage.

Toys for kids, warm clothes, books & games to keep occupied. These days probably re-chargeable USB devices and backup batts.

Flights over the poles may need to be rerouted tonight, or fly at lower altitudes (requiring more fuel). That's because, for the first time since 2003, an S4 solar radiation storm is ongoing! Solar particles and protons accelerated by an approaching magnetic shockwave (CME) are bombarding Earth. The more of those energized particles, the deeper into our upper atmosphere they can burrow. Passengers and crew on polar flights may receive elevated doses of ionizing radiation, which can increase long-term health risks (including cancer). This is also causing a high frequency shortwave radio blackout, which may pose some navigational challenges. The same high-energy particles can cause problems for satellites Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at January 19, 2026 09:31 PM (zNcSj) 260

We were cutting across the Kancamagus Highway when it started coming down and the snow was we enough to freeze the road. Everyone slowed down and then just stopped. Driving was too dangerous. And then we remembered we were in a van with a kick ass stereo and a shit load booze. So opened up the side door, cranked the tunes and threw a party until the road thawed. We showed up at the house we rented with considerably less booze than we started with. Posted by: JackStraw at January 19, 2026 09:33 PM (viF8m) 265

All of them run on car gas, actually. I’ve used nothing but car gas in the lanterns and 2 burner colemans and the Svea constantly for years now. Eventually, have to clean the generator of tar. Takes gallons and gallons.
The advantage of Coleman fuel (Naptha) is that it does not sour or spoil. I’ve found stoves with 20 or 30 year old Coleman fuel in them and works perfectly. Stand by or emergency use. Car gas is stinky and smelly and sooty in handling however. Posted by: Common Tater at January 19, 2026 09:43 PM (aRbAR) 276

DHS: The citizen lives with / is harboring 2 convicted sex offenders (one a pedophile) who have final orders of removal - and he refused to be identified or cooperate. This is who they’re defending. The screenshot basically identifies him as Hmong. I'm telling you, there seems to be a huge problem with Laotian men getting busted for sexual offenses, usually with minors.

I am not sure people understand how important this issue is to Democrats.
Or maybe they understand, but they don't understand the goals and strategy. This is not just about Trump. The Left s trying to derail the entire anti-immigration program. They have been losing on this issue recently and in the past they appealed to "empathy" to align voters with those who want [cheap labor / social services client / D voters ] They see this as their last stand. An all or nothing shot to get the public disgusted with Trump's tactics. In the past they controlled the narratives ("who will pick our crops", "dreamers", "family separation," "necessary for our economy,"...) but the public got fed up with the crime, low wages, and filth. Now they are trying to reclaim that narrative by pushing chaos to the max and blaming Trump. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 19, 2026 06:40 PM (QEB0p) 23

Posted by: Crusader at January 19, 2026 06:43 PM (TN0g+) It's semi-maybe-prostitution. The guy will pay her upfront to go on the date, and he may be expecting something more than conversation and dinner as a result, but in this scheme the girl can take the money, go out on the date, and then decide to take a Uber home alone if she wants. It's basically buying companionship for a few hours with no strings attached and possibly sex if she feels like it. Posted by: SpeakingOf at January 19, 2026 06:49 PM (6ydKt) 52

I guess if the date is upfront a no sex date then this isn't being a ho. It's being something else. An escort? Courtesan? Were any of those just chaste in some situations at any point in history? I didn't listen to the video does she say for sex? This could work out if the date is showing her ability to cook a meal and clean, I could see some guy paying for that.

Fun fact: the first thing the Popular Front government did upon assuming power in early 1936 was open the prisons. A lot of Anarchists had been captured during the abortive uprising in Oviedo and they - and everyone else - were set free to unleash a massive wave of crime.
The Popular Front also launched investigations into the just-held election, and found "irregularities" in conservative provinces, requiring a re-vote and - you won't believe it - the revote came in heavily in favor of the Popular Front! What was a razor thing majority was now a super-majority. Yay election investigations! And then the assassinations got rolling, street fighting and finally the murder of Jose Calvo Sotelo, which kicked off the July Rising. The complete collapse of law and order spurred a reflexive surge of support for the Army, and the total chaos was why foreign governments hesitated to side with the existing government. There IS a book about it. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at January 19, 2026 06:51 PM (ZOv7s) 62

The problem with that girl's plan is
- If the guy is just looking to get laid, then great, she's a whore. - If the guy is looking for long term, he will avoid her because she is making no investment, as she is a whore. So she will only attract (a) "Johns", or (b) the desperate and unmarryable. What a weird world. Women hold ALL the cards in life. Attractive women are going through life like Mario with 100 power-ups. Like that girl in Seinfeld at the movie theater. But it is not enough for them, as whatever they have, they want more. It is not enough to get asked (begged) to go on dates, they now want "date prep" cash. They want to live life for free and then maybe toss you some snizz if they feel like it. And then they wake up in their 30s with tits down to the belt line and eggs a runnin out and they blew it. Like lottery winners, they bust out and are just bitter hags.

IMHO, the Dems are losing the black and hispanic vote. The black vote was also the heart of inner city voter fraud. This served the Ds and the Rs, as the Ds got the cities, and the Rs were not affected in the rural areas. They each had their own empires and worked together to maintain that system. It was in the "R's" interests to keep the Ds winning in the cities, as they were corrupt and willing to deal. They were not hard line commies, nor moderates, but corrupt and willing to horse trade as each party looted the nation.
But if the Ds lose the black voter fraud machines, then they lose it all. This also puts the quisling Rs at risk as the system will be disrupted and real conservatives might start winning. Or worse, the fraud gravy train might end. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 19, 2026 07:00 PM (QEB0p) 97

“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone.” --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

There's an old Chinese tale about a ruler having a deer brought into his court. And to the bureaucrats assembled, he asked, "Isn't this a very fine horse?" Several agreed, complimenting the features of the not-deer. Others were silent, or even stating the obvious thing in front of their eyes that it was a deer.
In the Chinese tale, the latter two groups were executed - much like communism, there was only room for true believers. The same thing is going on here. Making a homoculus version of a woman. Y-Face, if you will. And denying there's any difference, obvious as they are, than to your own daughters. And if anyone spoke up, they were cancelled. Fired. Kicked out of school.

CPS needs to be called for the weeping woman in MN. What on earth? Why? Then she acts all happy with her bubba (who is probably a ferret...no offense to ferrets). I feel sorry if she has a real kid. Maybe one of those fake newborns they dress, bathe and get carseats for?
I am not a weeper, and on the very rare times I do weep I don't video it. My nose turns red and swollen, like WC Fields with a cold. The green of my eyes is lovely, however, but not worth it. It is genetic as my grandmothers didn't weep easily, either. I am a stone cold woman who only gets tears when I laugh super hard and choke.

A human being can't become a barn swallow, or a 1974 Chevy Camaro, or a deep-sea geothermal vent, and it doesn't matter how free their country is, or that they're an adult, or whether or not they harm anybody thereby. These things are simply impossible, and all sane people acknowledge that. Posted by: DaveL at January 19, 2026 08:34 PM (9w232) Emails: Fauci Knew That Natural Immunity Far Surpassed the Non-Immunity Conferred by the Covid Non-Vaccine, But Lied to the Public Anyway and Fought for Mandated Vaccinations of the Already-ImmuneTrust the Science, Science-Bigots. Anthony Fauci privately acknowledged "impressive data" showed stronger immunity from a COVID-19 infection than vaccination while publicly pushing mandated shots, newly released documents show. Former President Joe Biden's top pandemic response officials discussed a thorough study from Israel showing the superiority of natural infection in August 2021, simultaneous with the initiation of federal vaccine mandates via an Aug. 24 Pentagon memo, according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by Protect the Public's Trust, indicating officials who helped compel COVID shots had contemporaneous scientific evidence they were unjustifiable for millions of Americans. The officials distorted the evidence in public statements, repeatedly saying vaccination is necessary for immunity. "What does it say about our own institutions that, despite billions spent every year, Americans had to rely on Israeli research for their health information, and that our own officials tried to bury what didn't fit their preferred narrative?" Protect the Public's Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "There's been a lot of handwringing about reforms and personnel actions by the new leadership at HHS, but this is just more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning." The revelation comes amid an ongoing investigation under President Donald Trump's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary into deaths following the COVID vaccines in children and young adults. Further details could uncover whether people died from shots mandated by Biden administration officials aware of their redundancy for people with prior immunity. "This is the evidence right here showing that our nation's scientific leaders were not acting scientifically, and there needs to be accountability," said Stephanie Edewaard Weidle, executive director of Feds For Freedom, to the DCNF. "We in the medical freedom fighting world, we already knew this, but to see it spelled out in these FOIA documents just makes it worse. People lost their jobs and their lives were turned upside down based on the argument that natural immunity was not enough."Just the News: The Biden administration grappled with research suggesting natural immunity was more effective than COVID-19 vaccination shortly before federal vaccine mandates in 2021, admitting the rigor of the massive Israeli study and worrying it might undermine its promotion of one-size-fits-all vaccination, newly released emails show. The Freedom of Information Act production to Protect the Public's Trust, shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, gives the most compelling evidence to date that federal officials knew their pending mandates were scientifically shaky yet repeatedly asserted in public -- misrepresenting federal research -- that natural immunity couldn't match vaccine-acquired immunity. The emails add heft to prior claims by a now-former Food and Drug Administration adviser, going back four years, that the feds ultimately rejected natural immunity as an exemption to vaccine mandates for bureaucratic reasons and kept pushing vaccines on all ages and conditions for the sake of simpler messaging, not science. They also reaffirm the glaring lack of rigorous research by U.S. institutions on basic questions about SARS-CoV-2 and treatment outcomes, with many of the most important findings coming from abroad. The abnormally high risk of heart inflammation in young people post-vaccination, for example, emerged from Israeli data and institutions. ... He also said Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told him at a 2023 meeting that the feds didn't target "high-risk groups" for vaccination because that was too "nuanced" and some at high risk wouldn't get jabbed unless everyone was told to do it. ... The newly revealed emails show Fauci telling colleagues including Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky that the Israeli study of nearly 800,000 people, which got wide visibility in Science, was "rather impressive." The study, then a preprint that hadn't gone through peer-review, showed natural immunity was 13 times more protective than Pfizer vaccination against reinfection and 27 times more protective against symptomatic COVID. ... ![]()

I knew Fauci was a Fake. I just knew. I also know that natural immunity is stronger, yet I still think the measles vax is great (I went nearsighted due to "red" measles as did my brother).
I want Fauci deported as well. This is now my go to for people I don't like. Send one way no return to Somolia. Or to the Amazon Rain Forest where they trust no one and kill ya pretty fast with spears and arrows. No one has seen a woman or child of this tribe. They hide their women and children, which tells me they are far smarter than liberals who import illegals to kidnap and rape our women and children.

I'm still up here talking to myself, Ace.
I had natural immunity to Rubella (German Measles) as titers showed with our first son while pregnant. Two years later titers showed that my immunity had worn off. I had the MMP the day after he was born. While I was not told til my 2nd trimester I was horrified, as I knew a girl born deaf due to her mother having Rubella in her first trimester. Supposedly I had a "light case" of Rubella when one of my brothers was born and I was a toddler. Due to his birth no one probably paid a ton of attention to me as I was a healthy and crazy little girl. Some vaccines for childhood are fine. The Hepatitis one I argued against in the 1990's. Had our sons take that vax before college because a pediatrician I trusted advised. No regrets. I would NOT take any mRNA vaccine, ever. No worries about that at all. The RSV is one and I think RFK,Jr took that off the list. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at January 19, 2026 05:43 PM (WONhk) Posted by: thug dolphin at January 19, 2026 05:43 PM (EyfuW) 23

Re Fauci quote about intimidating people into dropping their "ideological bullshit" against the mRNA 'vaccine.'

I'm still waiting for someone to do the all important Convenience Store/ Gas Station immunity study. I, honestly, think people who frequent such places for their daily coffee have a stronger immunity to various viruses and bacteria simply because they rarely clean those percolators and you are getting a manageable dose each visit.
I used to joke about the broad spectrum inoculation from swimming in open water. After research, you are basically restating the Hygiene Hypothesis or Old Friends Hypothesis. Your thinking works if children have access to the coffee pot, but adults are largely unaffected due to immunities picked up earlier in life. Toxic bacteria is still toxic bacteria. Exposure to small doeses at a time doesn't improve your immune system. Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at January 19, 2026 06:01 PM (a4flb) 103

The Reagan library held a year-end event in December 2019. Lots of A and B list names gathered from around the world. The X was working it. Mid-January, when COVID was thought to be still in Europe, she came down with a nasty flu that damn-near killed her.
Little tried to convince her to go to the ER. Took her a month to recover, and most of that time, she was bedridden. Her refusal to go to the ER probably saved her life. When I finally saw her, she looked like hell. Very thin. Had a scarf around her head. I asked Little about it after she left. He explained her hair fell out while she was sick. Jeeeezz. Through all of this, my son spent hours in close quarters with her. Never got so much as a sniffle. When the lock down madness happened, I figured he and I were already exposed. I also thought the X would have valuable antibodies in her blood that might serve others. Maybe there would be a national blood drive to meet this pandemic head on.

you should be aware that they now have mRNA vaccines for dogs and cats. Rabies vaccine is one of them. Some vets can get you the old style rabies vaccine, but you have to check with your vet about what they use.
Posted by: notsothoreau at January 19, 2026 05:57 PM (+mUZM) I recall Bret Weinstein saying he was very excited when he first learned about mRNA research, saying the breakthroughs that could come from it was extraordinarily useful. And then he saw what they were doing with the Covid. The risk, I suppose, is it stays in the hands of monsters, but it could be like nukular energy, where we ought to be doing so much more with it, but we can't because people freak out when they hear nukular.

Interesting about aspirin (I am still not being productive with stuff around the house).MLK Day!
In WWI 1918 Influenza, aspirin was new. No antibiotics, either. Unfortunately docs did not dose well & basically killed soldiers with aspirin, trying to control the cytokine storm of inflammation. One doc used baking soda in water. His patients survived, whereas the patients on aspirin became acidotic. Inflammation is important to keep down & avoid organ damage in flu or stupid covid, which I have had at least twice. I will now take aspirin. In a normal virus a bit of a fever is good with neutrophils (white cells) eating the virus. Our sons had a mystery virus of no symptoms but super high fevers in elementary school. I am pretty sure I was alone telling sons to imagine PAC MEN as their neutrophils as I dosed them and cold compresses to their foreheads. They would agree their mother was never boring but pretty weird. This is called phagocytosis.Not faggy at all Aspirin did work for birth control to keep one between my knees (not really as I did not date much). I read it or to take it with a Coke. Something to do with a Coke (which does cure headaches with Advil). The End. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at January 19, 2026 06:11 PM (WONhk) 144

Yeah, they noted that this new-fangled Aspirin was effective against fever, and some doctors were prescribing it by the handfuls, maybe 80 or 100 tablets. Oops.

In his book “The Great Influenza”, author John Barry supported the idea that it first broke out in rural Haskell County. Kansas. Spread to Ft Riley, then to the trenches and to the world.
He provided some very good evidence, such as a rural doctor who kept meticulous notes, and who described the symptoms of an unknown disease he was seeing several months before the Camp Riley breakout. Posted by: Tom Servo at January 19, 2026 06:29 PM (8YGuO) 190

Posted by: buzzion at January 19, 2026 06:15 PM (3tZV2) Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory, and caffeine is a vasodilator (makes the capillaries expand). Both of those help with headaches. I had a GF who would do both in large amounts for her migranes. Nicotine can help too, it can reduce the allergic response that can lead to a bad reaction (I think cytokines but I forget) that will also lead to inflammation.

The front man. Without his wife, he probably couldn't wipe his own butt.
But then his wife was let go, Politico, 4/2025, 'Fauci allies, Covid vaccine officials get ax at NIH' ("Kennedy on Tuesday fired Fauci’s wife, Christine Grady, and reassigned at least three of Fauci’s longtime colleagues at the National Institutes of Health, as part of a purge of senior officials involved in the government’s development and distribution of the Covid vaccine, eight people familiar with the matter said.") And being a vengeful man, he circled back to imply the Trump administration anti-LGBTQ...("In addition to purging leadership at NIH and FDA, Kennedy ordered cuts to a range of divisions focused on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases — the area where Fauci first gained prominence as a leader of the government’s response to the AIDS epidemic. The moves follow a crackdown already underway on grants related to Covid and vaccine hesitancy.") He's never been wrong. He doesn't say, Sorry.

These dick-sucking demons, for example, might be prosecuted under the KKK Act.
Mary Katharine Ham"DARVO" is the antifa tactic: "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." Over the holidays, Tim Walz fumed at the hypothetical possibility that ICE might pick up criminals exiting a church. Where is his outrage now?
Kurt Schlichter responds to the blackpillers who never stop claiming we're being sold out. Kurt SchlichterConservatives have been out of power for our entire lives. And yes, that includes when "Republicans" are in power. We've defaulted to a standard operating procedure of crying "betrayal" and prophecizing doom. But this is wrongheaded when we actually have people in office who actually listen to us and agree with us. The blackpilling is politically toxic, as it teaches us that any effort is pointless because we are doomed to lose, and on personal level, it must by psychologically destructive. I have my own problems with Trump but the idea that he's "selling us out" on his signature issue is silly. From time to time he may be too cautious -- for example, many of us are wondering why he hasn't already invoked the Insurrection Act -- but he's not "selling us out," Bush style. Meanwhile, even the NYT admits that blue cities and states are causing all of this chaos and violence themselves by not simply turning over violent repeat-criminal illegal aliens to ICE when the government politely asks for them.

They can be charged from now until doomsday but they will never be convicted or even indicted with anything in minnesota. Especially not in this current climate of anti ICE/Trump.
--- I still remain confident (w/o knowing for sure) that these KKK-era laws also have provisions for jury (and judge) nullification of charges. Where they acquit against all the evidence merely because of their illegal sympathies for the defendant. There has to be a provision that allows charges for civil rights violations which can be brought in a different jurisdiction.

Don Lemon is now what, a low-rated podcaster? It's very easy to imagine him focus-grouping with some advisors who urge him to do outrageous things to get attention. It's all so predictable that it's almost hard to get mad at him because the stakes are so small and he's such a feckless little twat. At the societal level, of course, it's very dangerous to do what they did and attack religion, but for him personally, it's all about the rage clicks.

Meanwhile, even the NYT admits that blue cities and states are causing all of this chaos and violence themselves by not simply turning over violent repeat-criminal illegal aliens to ICE when the government politely asks for them.
- This argument only works while they're after violent criminals, and the more time they waste on that, the longer it is before they get to the bulk of the problem, illegal aliens that aren't generally breaking additional laws, aside from padding elections for the Democrats and keeping blue states blue.

And for those who complain, "but the DOJ isn't doing anything."
Note well the case of the 6 US attorneys who resigned. They were trying to take a six-month paid vacation. That is, use their accrued leave as vacation time--rather than, resign and be paid fully out--thus, staying "employed." Two pay checks. Because, that would have prevented the hiring of a replacement (without additional funding, they can't; they've only appropriations for that job.). And it makes clear his announcement of the fraud investigation in MN wasn't a kick-off of a bigger investigation but was done in order to "get ahead of" the actual investigation. That is, by him opening it, he gets to control the pace. To slow it down to dead stop. Which his "vacation" was going to drag to a stand-still until mid-summer at the earliest. And the entire DOJ is rotted through with those kind of employees, lying in wait. That anything is happening at all is a miracle.

I don't know what they are, but I am assured they are protecting us in Mass since the last tranny murders. I also know I would run into a knife or machete or gun to protect innocent grandchildren. I have no doubt.I would be a distraction. I've lived a great life and would die in a second for them. You have crossed a line in doing this, Don Lemon.

Posted by: Bigsmith ----- A lot of churches have security teams and/or actual off duty cops. Most spree killers want to run up the count so they tend to avoid such churches and look for easy targets. Bringing in a backpack to service and being some dweeb not known to church members is likely to get some attention. As long as the doors are shut to the outside but can be opened from the inside at key egress points (think fire laws compel this anyway), wise to shut them during services.

However, Kurt is commenting on the internet. He's not lawyering. When he sees people on the internet bitching that nothing ever seems to happen to leftists, after we watched the Biden administration hunt down everyone who was anywhere near the Capitol on J6 (and some who were NOT anywhere near the Capitol), and he tells them to stop, he looks like someone who isn't really part of the solution.

I'm not sure it's "blackpilling" when it's fairly obvious, even certain, that with every possible piece of evidence presented, all the necessary paperwork done to perfection, it's still up to a black robed tyrant to find one of their own guilty.
Which is absolutely not happening. In fact, there are plenty of incidents of just this "thing that never happens" you know... is happening. Unless there are lines of people in orange jumpsuits, shackled together by this time next month, all those "blackpillers" are going to be vindicated, big time.

A lot of churches have security teams and/or actual off duty cops. Most spree killers want to run up the count so they tend to avoid such churches and look for easy targets. Bringing in a backpack to service and being some dweeb not known to church members is likely to get some attention.
As long as the doors are shut to the outside but can be opened from the inside at key egress points (think fire laws compel this anyway), wise to shut them during services. Posted by: whig at January 19, 2026 04:53 PM (E4rtv) Yep. Ours has police officers who attend, and I see one now and then with a wire or something near his ear as I leave.

But this is wrongheaded when we actually have people in office who actually listen to us and agree with us. The blackpilling is politically toxic, as it teaches us that any effort is pointless because we are doomed to lose, and on personal level, it must by psychologically destructive.
I don't owe these people anything, including patience. I'll judge them on results alone. When they have some, I'll give credit where credit is due. If they expect applause for tweets and television appearances in the meantime, they'll have to look elsewhere. I've lived with the gap between Republican words and deeds for decades. And it largely continues. Here's an easy one: send people who defy Congressional subpoenas to jail. You know, like they did to ours.

So he is starting from the administration and picking off the GOPe as he goes. Sen Cassidy in Lousiana got blindsided by Trump endorsing a new female face to replace that treacherous snake. Cassidy's paymasters in Big Pharma and Big Medicine are already irritated that Sec. Kennedy is destroying decades of their nasty lobbying in only one year.

Whether or not the doors are locked doesn't seem to matter. A potential bad actor is actually more likely to get past whatever screening is in place when the doors are unlocked and there is greater traffic flow.

DEI Resist injunctions etc. are being tossed/dissolved at a high rate because appellate courts can see no legal reasoning behind most of those decisions.
-- Like the cartel judge there in MN with her illegal "I order the federal government not to do that which is already prohibited." And then flat-out lied that the protestors were not attacking ICE. But, she knows it will be misread by the smellies as "ICE can't arrest protestors no matter what." IDK if the DOJ has even appealed it. But, it was kinda funny for ICE to say, "yeah, we're already not doing that which is prohibited--but we're for sure going to arrest those who get violent or impede. That ruling doesn't apply."

Dear Col. Schlichter,
How come your lawyerly explanations never apply to the other side? How does that work? Love, Franpsycho Posted by: San Franpsycho ======= Because the legal profession for the last twenty years or so has become leftist. So those on the right have to be perfect in their case presentation while those on the left argue politics instead of the law at the district court level. Your state is a perfect example of how the state and federal level courts always give the benefit of the doubt to the left and none to the right. That means meticulous work is needed.

So tired of all of this shit. In the meantime, the drama queens in our little neighborhood are still convinced that they are seeing ICE agents hiding behind every bush. Pathetic, really. Especially since these same whiners are up in arms about the construction going on at one of the main intersections in the area. It's taking the poor dears 4 or 5 traffic light cycles to get out of the neighborhood in the morning. Never mind that there are ample opportunities to take alternate routes out - we live in a neighborhood built on a very nice grid of streets, all of which can be accessed, and all of which will get you out of the neighborhood. Yes, these babies are mostly AWFLs or girly men 🙄🙄🙄 No, none of them would have set foot in this neighborhood 20 years ago before us old-timers did so much remodeling and urban pioneering.

So what, she lost the war while winning a stupid battle for now. Abrego will be leaving as the appeals go through. His fellow Columbia Palestinian riot leader just got his travel papers from teh Third Circuit for deportation. District judges are cut out of the process as the statutes make clear.
And that undercuts Abrego at the 4th Circuit and makes it more likely that Scotus, if the 4th does not chuck his worthless ass, gets overruled and district judges across teh nation are barred from considering deportation cases.

>>> A federal judge, Paula Xinis, has blocked his re-detention for now, citing the Trump administration's lack of a valid removal order and repeated misrepresentations in court.
It has been pointed out that the number of federal injunctions by judges for like every previous modern president, COMBINED, is a fraction of the number of injunctions Trump has had. Even in the Bushitler era. What do you do about it? Because they aren't suddenly going to grow a conscience and stop.

William Kelly, a well-known leftist agitator, charged into Cities Church on Sunday as Don Lemon livestreamed the crime. After storming the church, William Kelly taunted Bondi. “Yesterday, I went into a church with Nikema Armstrong and I protested these white supremacists!” he said. “The pastor of the church is a f*cking ICE leader in the city?!” “They want to come after me?

That's not a Mid-Term Prediction. It is a prediction of the final tally of Representative apportionment once the Illegal Aliens are ushered out for the 2030 census. So, +30 for Red States if numbers of illegals deported hold steady at 2025 rates over 4 years of Trump. That does not account for a Dem admin re-flooding the zone for 2 years, though.

We disagree on "Not enough is happening' because you still have faith in the system.
Posted by: Methos --------- Nope, I have faith in people, not systems which have failed us. GOPe has faith in systems. But if you note, Trump doesn't play that game, he attacks which is why GOPe doesn't like it. So, I have more faith in Trump and his present crew than I do in the average black pill commenter here. Things are moving on the board but if you only look at the bright shiny things that even the conservative media presents, because it sells, then you might be depressed. Always go to primary sources if you can for information and be guarded on any secondary source. Especially the rage clicks on social media and other places. We cannot get back to the past which is an unrealistic goal in the first place, but we can advance, not wring our hands, and move forward. We are winning to the extent that most people would not have believed this if I told you in 2017 and teh Democrats are losing (down to 27 percent in Gallup in party id now). 1970's it was well over 50 percent.

And that is true, to a point. They are the most disposable On the other hand a friend of mine had two contractors suddenly "go on vacation back to Mexico for a week or two" at the beginning of this winter, and never came back to complete the job he hired them to do, so there is some action happening in the lower end of the trades.

Another dude in TX on foot smoked a commie trying to brain him with a skateboard and was not charged. Someone got hosed in Seattle; random nobody driving to/from work when a crowd tried to beat him. But you have to expect the blue shitholes will always charge you. Either don't live there, or don't defend yourself... or DO defend yourself and understand the local government is party to the assault and act accordingly.

No blackpiller here would have claimed the Don could manage to A) close teh border, B) deport millions including self deport, C) shut off refugee visas, D) start enforcing the public charge requirement in immigration cases and denaturalizing criminals.
This blackpiller knew the Don was serious because he had Musk and Homan on board during the campaign - then brought on an All Star Cast. Trump has always been terrible at judges and DOJ appointments, so I knew that Law & Order would be Trump's kryptonite. I'm blackpilled because I can compartmentalize and recognize Wins and Losses, and celebrate and whine accordingly. The cultural rot has been going on for generations and the basic ingredients for a successful Constitutional Republic has deteriorated or has withdrawn into nothingness. The US would need a war time consigliere who would surrender his dictatorial role once an achievable objective has been made. That ain't happening. Thus the blackpill.

If they can't run the federal government as they please, they'll destroy it and run it through the ghost government. It was always the plan for Trump administrations.

Everyone they come in contact with will get the story of how they were "unfairly" discarded by the current administration and so on down the line. They'll leave out the part about redundancy and incompetence, and partisan. As an example. I have a friend who owns a catering business that serves that region, and they do a lot of those cocktail parties we love to hate. She has always been a Conservative, or at least right leaning person. NOW, however, the catering jobs are waning.

It takes time to build an airtight case AND we have to realize that most DOJ lawyers are lefties dragging their feet and sabotaging Trump. I guess that's an argument. Posted by: MAGA_Ken ------ Yep. Our country was set up on vicinage. That is because colonists during the later stages before independence were hauled up to courts in England or Nova Scotia at Halifax, a major British military base to be tried. So our Constitution requires people to be tried in the district where they committed the crime with a jury drawn from that location. And that means a local DA has to oversee charges, the grand jury, etc. And leftist blue shithole senators are blocking any Trump nominees by the blue slip procedure in the Senate Judiciary. That means that under the existing law, the judges in shithole blue states that got those seats due to the blue slip policy winnowing out conservatives, then pick the DA (Trump is challenging that in court as that law runs afoul of recent court decisions on appointments). See NJ and VA for those examples. Posted by: whig at January 19, 2026 05:32 PM (E4rtv) 293

Some good things are happening at the DOJ even with establishment gal Bondi as AG. But darn that lazy Trump, its been over a week since he nabbed Maduro and all the DOD did after that was bomb some terrorists in Syria. Surely the military could have seized MN and IL this week?

Continued, the Comey indictment was chucked by the judge because he ruled that the Trump temp appointee waiting for confirmation (blocked by Dems blue slip) was illegally in office for the indictment.
Same with the indictment of the NJ Democrat Congress critter storming and assaulting an ICE officer.

It's not Trump who we think is selling us out, it's 'Red Flag' Pam who we believe to be incompetent or is selling us out.
Over a year and no arrests, just an Epstein fiasco and lots of FOX news appearances. Posted by: VAR1ABLE at January 19, 2026 06:44 PM (ZRous) 334
274 Isn't it illegal to hire illegal aliens? Why have I not heard of a single employer being hauled off to the hoosegow? Ok - maybe you don't take on a heavyweight like Tyson Foods, but even just a couple small ones? Just one small one e?
Posted by: 496 It is. Yes, it is illegal under U.S. federal law to knowingly hire or continue to employ an individual who is not authorized to work in the United States. This is a key provision of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986. So that's why the US State & Labor Departments gave out certain visas like trading cards. And that's also why another branch of the Federal gov. created Temporary Protected Status. And why no one or no agency involved with Maryland seemed to get in trouble for the massive bridge collapse killing several foreign labors working up on the bridge's deck.

That church stunt was the ultimate cry-bully tactic. Accuse the PASTOR of being part of ICE. Invade a house of worship DURING THE SERVICE. Harass the parishioners.
Then claim to be the "victim." Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at January 19, 2026 07:56 PM (tV890) 336

Schlichter couldn't be more wrong. Democrats don't follow the law, they USE it. You think their judges and juries won't laugh legal cases against democrats out of court? You think the DOJ would have any more success than it had with Letitia James?
Arrest democrats and their supporters. Pin 30 felonies on them for each illegal act. Throw them in prison indefinitely pending trial. And put them in front of OUR judges and OUR juries. That's the only way to fight those scum. Anyone who thinks democrats won't be even worse when they get back in power is an idiot. Posted by: Galt at January 19, 2026 10:38 PM (9UnaD) 339
329 I'm not good with words so...
I know a lot on our side are black pilling, thinking it's hopeless. I'd just say that it is always darkest before the dawn, but the dawn will come. And I think that a bad as we are doom scrolling/feeling down... I think our enemies are even more dispairing. I think they have an absolute existential fear they are loosing. And they will. It won't be easy. But they will lose. Posted by: EFG at January 19, 2026 05:46 PM (kIrFD) Those are good words!
