One of the nasty political consultants from teh Bush era where he was named Friend of the Blog. Political times changed threatening his breadbowl and like the Lincoln project former McCain GOP consultants, he went to the left for money and to get on TV occasionally.

And promptly dumped on his former friendz.

There is a reason that as bad as politicians may be at being human, campaign consultants often are far scummier in doing anything to make a buck. They are mostly animated by money whoever can pay them.

It's just that the 20 has used the taxes of the 80 to buy the media and academia and mind-numbing vote fraud.

109 My grandfather beat the shit out of my father, but not his brother nor sister (who were both younger than him).
Posted by: XTC

There was a true crime show on ID about a father who allegedly left when his son was 18 months. A bunch of weird shit happened and 60 years later his son found his father's body well and truly buried in the basement. It seems his dad invited an ex-con to live with them and help him remodel the house. His mom and the ex-con had an affair and murdered dad, they later married, and he sexually assaulted the daughters. Son had given up finding dad until his sister convinced him to go to a psychic, eventhough he didn't believe, and the psychic told him his father was buried in the basement near a target that used to be in the basement decades earlier.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Fun fact:

The Romans didn't measure breasts in the way [i[we think of breasts, i.e. we think of them as extending outward from the ribcage. Instead, the Romans thought of the outer top surface of the breasts as the surface of the chest, and breasts were described by how "deep" they were, not by how "big" they were. Thus, a woman with what we would call "big" tits were to the Romans "deep" breasts, whereas a woman with what we would call "small" tits had "shallow" breasts.

The Romans had not yet invented internal combustion engines, but apparently they really liked motorboating.

218 Afternoon.
==============
There was a true crime show on ID about a father who allegedly left when his son was 18 months. A bunch of weird shit happened and 60 years later his son found his father's body well and truly buried in the basement. It seems his dad invited an ex-con to live with them and help him remodel the house. His mom and the ex-con had an affair and murdered dad, they later married, and he sexually assaulted the daughters. Son had given up finding dad until his sister convinced him to go to a psychic, eventhough he didn't believe, and the psychic told him his father was buried in the basement near a target that used to be in the basement decades earlier.

Someone here can/will correct me, but .....

Wasn't one of the major reasons for the whole electoral college thinggy, and especially congressional certification, to provide a safeguard against the Georgias of the union? Meaning safeguard against non-reliable or non-credible election processes in individual states?

Pretty sure that's the case. But as the civic culture has waned and then collapsed (many wheels turning in that picture), the electorate has defaulted to a very lazy and uninterested and uninformed "oh the elections are secure enough, signatures and stuff". And so not certifying an election has become unthinkable to the political class. Witness the pathetic Senate GOP performance in 2020.

There is a system (of systems). It's not "broken", it's just being operated with an electorate and political class unable to operate it properly, and unworthy of it.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at December 19, 2025 03:52 PM

I feel have felt this way about every person / "influencer" / content creator on "the right". I don't believe any of them to actually be conservative or care about making a difference in the nation to save it from the left and Islam. I think they are just using the ideology to grift and make money.

One blatant example of this is the right-wing e-girls drama highlighted by hoe_math. Talking about sleeping around at TPUSA events with married MAGA men and everything else under the sun.

265 220 The Romans didn't measure breasts in the way
____

The Romans knew a lot about building roads, aqueducts, military tactics and logistics, how to manage an empire, but didn't know about cup sizes? I find that hard to believe.
Posted by: Chuck Marte


Brassieres weren't invented until around the 14th century AD. Before that, in (for example) ancient Greece and Rome, they wore what were essentially "breast bands" -- strips of cloth around the midsection, sort of like a tube top. But these strips didn't have cups, and thus no cup sizes. The concept of the bra "cup" took another 1400 years to evolve.

* Roman old ladies and pregnant women sometimes wore support-bands more similar to the modern bra, but the average woman did not.

269 Obama was the only prez ever re-elected with fewer votes (a lot fewer votes). His numbers in many key states were also below any previously re-elected incumbents. His "popularity" is a bit complicated.

But that he even made it to the Senate, much less wasn't laughed out any presidential ideas, is an unambiguous if redundant confirmation of how degraded the populace is. Across the political board.

Of course McCain being a nominee was surreal and ridiculous, but for dramatically different reasons.

277 There is a system (of systems). It's not "broken", it's just being operated with an electorate and political class unable to operate it properly, and unworthy of it.
Posted by: rhomboid
======
The EV system was derived from how the Holy Roman Emperors were selected (Electors). The convention did not want Congress to select the president because then it would hurt the separation of powers, no one wanted the people to elect the executive directly at the Convention so raw democracy via votes was out, and since the small states wanted some guarantees that large states could not dominate them, you get state by state slates picked by the closest thing to the people that Convention attenders thought prudent. Like the ratifying convention itself, they left it to electors picked and chosen by state legislatures.

No one intended for the party system to take over as it did which made the awkward and ahistoric EV being wagged by the extraconstitutional parties rather than picking individuals of note to select the president.

I was just reading that. Meathead brought the lunatic son to that party because he was afraid to leave him alone. He was acting like a lunatic. Something about some weird thing with Bill Hader, which set off Nick. And then he got in a loud shouting match with Meathead, and they were about to call the cops, but Conan said no, it's my house, and I'll decide whether to call the cops or not.

Hell, if they had got the cops there and arrested the lunatic, Meathead would probably be alive.

MI probably hasn't had a state-wide election at a Zimbabwean level of integrity for 2 generations (ditto Cook County + several other jurisdictions).

Dream world: GOP announces they will not vote to certify any presidential election results from any states using mail-in ballots, and not having fully complied with all federal laws (and consent decrees) mandating voter rolls being cleaned up.

These are people who for about 2 decades now have been saying "if we don't do X, the country is lost!!!11ty!!!" Or... "the country is going end if Y happens. We have to prevent it or it's all over!!!"

Just like global warming, when the country doesn't end even after we didn't do X or prevent Y, they come up with a new X and new Y to go crazy about. Same grifting nonsense.

40 🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms he is ENDING the NGO foreign aid industrial complex 🔥

"Foreign aid should be used for the purpose of furthering the national interest. That doesn't mean we don't care about human rights. That doesn't mean we don't care about starvation. That doesn't mean we don't care about hunger. That doesn't mean we don't care about humanitarian need."

"What it does mean, however, is that even foreign aid, which is NOT charity - it is an act of the US taxpayer."

"The United States' and the taxpayer money should be spent in furtherance of OUR foreign policy, should be spent in places and on things that further OUR foreign policy. And even that is not unlimited."

"We have a limited amount of money that we can dedicate to foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. And that has to be applied in a way that furthers our national interest. And that's what we have sought to do as well."

AMAZING! Greatest Secretary of State in history! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

House Bill 25, written by Joanne Schofner (R-Nacogdoches), was signed by Gov. Greg Abbott at the end of August. Abbott had made it one of his priorities for the special sessions, saying, "Texans should have increased access to the benefits of Ivermectin."


The bill went into effect Thursday, Dec. 4, making the drug available at pharmacies and drug stores without requiring a prescription.

I was out running some errands this morning and was listening to the news. Doctor being interviewed on this topic said there is a malaria drug on the market that sells for something $25,000 per dose in the US and sells for $8 per dose in Congo.

That's the problem. The US has been subsidizing other countries for years. We pay huge amounts of money for the exact same drugs available in other countries for peanuts.

Lung scan came back okay. Repeat in a year. Being a former long term smoker and over 50 yrs old means checking that regularly. Meh. It took longer to walk from the waiting room to the room where they did the scan than it took to do the scan. Didn't have to do the hospital garb or anything. The scanner talks and has a nice female voice with a British accent.
But my blood sugar is running a bit high and I'm supposed to cut carbs and get more exercise, ( she said, while eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie and drinking a coke with real cane sugar, eyeing the pan full of homemade peanut butter fudge, and contemplating a nap).

She 100% should have been fired. What she did was not only really stupid (she actually uploaded the video), calling into question her competence, but she's a nurse.

If true this is an insane development.

Impossible, unless the shooter used two guns or there was two shooters.
Posted by: rickb223 at December 19, 2025 02:51 PM (dAOkg)

You don't suppose there were two shooters, working together, and the one shooting was intended as a diversion for the other? As to the shouting of "allahu ackbar", why not? Either to muddy the waters, or because the shooter was a zealous convert. Wouldn't be the first time some disaffected loser with a grudge had been hoovered up by muzzie recruiters. They gain a lot of converts in prisons, after all.

196 I started consuming Delta 8 THC gummies about 3 years ago. Take it about 3 to 4 nights a week, though sometimes I take a pause for a week to a month.

It's a great experience and I'm not going to give it up.

While high I enjoy watching movies (almost always an improvement), videos on history or other science, just listening to music or playing games with my kids. I'm normally introverted but when I'm high I can hold a good conversation for hours.

Tapscott is a symbol of what is wrong with Capitol Hill GOP reach arounds. Everything to them is how it plays with Democrats that they work with on a daily basis, not content nor actual facts.

And his increasingly brain dead posts resemble one poster that no longer cares to post on Instapundit much--Law Prof Bernstein. Same with Glenn floating Althouse posts anymore.

No one cares what they think and most of the shit they say is irrelevant of any present day context.

Their time has passed as has any wisdom they care to share with us. Thanks to them not fighting Obama and later Biden becuz racists, we are all Timmy in the well trying to drag ourselves out of it along with Trump.

278 Blogs are dead.

The real money is in YouTube.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

The real real money is AI slop videos where current content is ripped off from human content without attribution. Like the Chicom Chinesium crap on Amazon, you can't escape the shit because they just keep changing names, filing off serial numbers and reposting the same shit even if YT takes the original down.

Yet they get paid.

Rick Beato and Phil of Wings of Pegasus note all the fake music videos and their marketing. But it is far bigger than that. Even in the last year, I think about 50-70 percent of YT is now AI slop feeds through algorithms.

Rule of thumb, if they actually have an identifiable talking person or panel discussing the subject like you (and the audio syncs), then it is less likely to be AI crap for now.

Lots of folks have YT only as teasers for paid Patreon or Rumble videos now.

294 I was out running some errands this morning and was listening to the news. Doctor being interviewed on this topic said there is a malaria drug on the market that sells for something $25,000 per dose in the US and sells for $8 per dose in Congo.

That's the problem. The US has been subsidizing other countries for years. We pay huge amounts of money for the exact same drugs available in other countries for peanuts.

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

This. The initial price of new US-developed drugs may need to be relatively high to recover R&D costs in a reasonable timeframe, but this shouldn't continue indefinitely. Once a drug is being sold overseas for peanuts the R&D has been recovered and the the US price should be much lower.

First time was the COO of the company and I was all "shit, I'm getting fired for not being in the smoking area." Then nobody said shit so I continued and it's happened a lot since.

The Fixx's One Thing Leads to Another fits Candace Ovens to the T.

"The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say?
You got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover, so discreet"

He is the most hated president in our lifetimes.

There was a true crime show on ID about a father who allegedly left when his son was 18 months. A bunch of weird shit happened and 60 years later his son found his father's body well and truly buried in the basement. It seems his dad invited an ex-con to live with them and help him remodel the house. His mom and the ex-con had an affair and murdered dad, they later married, and he sexually assaulted the daughters. Son had given up finding dad until his sister convinced him to go to a psychic, eventhough he didn't believe, and the psychic told him his father was buried in the basement near a target that used to be in the basement decades earlier.

315,000 Possibly Fraudulent Ballots? Eh...It's Business-As-Usual In Georgia!

Nothing shocking, except for the admission that they are either fantastically bad at their jobs, or are subverting the Constitution.

Or both!

'We Don't Dispute' It: Georgia 315k Vote Bombshell Blows a Big Hole in 2020's 'Most Secure Election' Lie

A Georgia State Election Board investigation substantiated that Fulton County violated election rules in 2020 by failing to have poll workers sign required tabulation tapes for early votes in 36 out of 37 advanced voting precincts, affecting approximately 315,000 ballots.

These unsigned tapes broke the chain-of-custody and certification requirements under Georgia law, which mandates signed tapes as the sole legal proof of authentic vote totals.

During a board meeting on December 9th, Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, contends that Fulton County does “not dispute that the tapes were not signed.”

Originally, copyright was 14 years with an option for an extra 14.

40 years later, it became 28 years plus an extra 28.

Then, in 1976, it became Life+50 because of corporate pressure. Then Life+70 in the 90s because Sonny Bono was one of history's greatest monsters.

Corporations should not own copyrights. Copyrights should be a limited term and saying, "Well, 1,000,000 years is a limited term because there's a limit to the term" is bullshit, history before corporations decided that they needed to own IP forever belies that.

The problem isn't that Disney owns Mickey Mouse forever, it's that the protection of Mickey Mouse forces everything else to hide behind copyright for nearly a hundred years even though no one can exploit 99% of what's out there.

Should copyright be changed to something like “life +75 and then for damn sure you enter public domain, no ifs ands or buts”? Sure, but scrap copyright altogether? Bad idea. I’m good with where it was set by the Copyright Law of 1978, but perpetual copyrights? No.

Should copyright be changed to something like “life +75 and then for damn sure you enter public domain, no ifs ands or buts”? Sure, but scrap copyright altogether? Bad idea. I’m good with where it was set by the Copyright Law of 1978, but perpetual copyrights? No.

14+14.

If I'm being generous, 28+28.

And copyrights must be registered like before 1976.

Without the Copyright Act of 1976, works from 1998 would be entering the public domain on January 1. Those that didn't have applications for extensions.

All works before 1960 would be in the public domain.

How many people who worked on movies, wrote books, or music from 1959 are still alive and getting residuals?

=======

Originally, copyright was 14 years with an option for an extra 14.

40 years later, it became 28 years plus an extra 28.

Then, in 1976, it became Life+50 because of corporate pressure. Then Life+70 in the 90s because Sonny Bono was one of history's greatest monsters.

Corporations should not own copyrights. Copyrights should be a limited term and saying, "Well, 1,000,000 years is a limited term because there's a limit to the term" is bullshit, history before corporations decided that they needed to own IP forever belies that.

125 The argument nominally motivating the Democrats to remove any and all election security is that it disenfranchises millions of voters. But...in the 24 years since the '00 election when this because their rallying cry they have found exactly 0 such voters stopped from voting by any election security measures.
Posted by: 18-1 at December 19, 2025 01:39 PM (sKqQm)

True story: I moved the week before the '24 election, and since I'd already updated my address with the Post Office, the poll workers had that address.

Which didn't match my drivers license. So they were only going to let me cast a "provisional ballot." Which to me seems like another way of saying they'd toss it in the trash.

Thankfully, I had my "mail in" ballot at home, I went back, filled it out, and dropped it in the drop box at the courthouse.

I was pissed, but I guess they were just doing their job.

Interesting factoid that I recently learned:

The number of books that actually applied for copyright was less than 1%.

156 Oh, and the principled, libertarian position on copyright should be that copyright is immoral.

It limits my freedom to create new things just because someone else came up with it first. It is a government created right, not a natural right, that flies in the face of my own liberty.

Copyright didn't exist until 1710 with Anne's Law in England. Shakespeare, Mozart, and Cervantes all worked without copyright.

Copyright became assumed on new works (and those under copyright at the time in 1976). It became beholden on those creating new works to prove that they weren't copying someone else's instead of the other way around.

She was found guilty of impeding a proceeding, a felony, but not guilty of the less serious misdemeanor charge of concealing an individual to prevent his arrest or discovery. The jury announced the decision after 8:30 p.m. at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee. The charges stem from an April 18 incident, in which Dugan led a man through a side door of her Milwaukee County courtroom.

199 181 You've just about convinced me (no sarcasm intended). But what about somebody deciding that what a network needs is a live-action Mickey Mouse hour-long show every Wednesday in a primetime slot. I'm still not sure why Disney shouldn't have some sort of claim if somebody else used their character and created a huge cash-flow off of it?

Posted by: Crusader at December 19, 2025 01:57 PM (TN0g+)

======

They have it now...under certain versions of Mickey Mouse.

(Don't put gloves on Steamboat Willie!)

But, it would probably be a court battle that leads to Disney losing, but no one does it because Mickey Mouse is worthless outside of Disney's use and no one wants the trouble anyway.

My problem, though, isn't with the big copyright holders holding onto things. I don't care about that because the big copyright holders do generally take care of their big copyrights.

My problem is everything below that. The Fox library that Disney is hoarding and won't let anyone use. The books that no one even knows are under copyright or not. The vast majority of works that no one can or will do anything with because publishers and other content providers will just assume they're under copyright

204 Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan has been found guilty of one count against her and not guilty of another. She was found guilty of impeding a proceeding, a felony, but not guilty of the less serious misdemeanor charge of concealing an individual to prevent his arrest or discovery. The jury announced the decision after 8:30 p.m. at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee. The charges stem from an April 18 incident, in which Dugan led a man through a side door of her Milwaukee County courtroom.

244 This isn't even the cheating we all know they did. This is just some early voting tabulations that are probably fine, I would hope the machines put a data and time stamp on the counts at the time that they are done; although its possible the Fulton county operatives substituted tabulations that better suited their purposes.

If they had successfully cheated enough on early voting they would not have needed to resort to creating a water line issue, and the multiple counting of ballots that they did in the wee hours.

263 The 315,000 unsigned votes are probably not a huge deal at that link in the chain. That's probably what the tabulation machines said, they just didn't get the tapes signed.

The fraud is probably upstream of that, in the 10,000 ballots that got run through the tabulation machine 5 times to make 50,000. Now, there's a question whether the election workers who ran the ballots through the machines 5 times were told not to sign the tape and they couldn't get prosecuted.

Next step is to get those suspect early ballots from storage and do a recount. I'm betting they've been destroyed and can't be replicated.

84 There was some discussion yesterday about the "surge pricing" for things like Uber. Well, having used Uber last night and this morning under conditions that should have really jacked up the prices, the results were ... different.

This is holiday season in NYC (millions of tourists) with heavy rain. The cost of private rides like Uber should be through the roof. But they were actually less than usual, with plenty of cars available.

How is this possible? Possibly, I got lucky in terms of timing and location. But more likely, the surge model worked, in that it enticed more drivers to go out searching for riders, which increased the supply of cars That put downward pressure on prices, to the point where they were actually less than usual (at least in my circumstances).

Interesting, if nothing else.

When ethernet first came onto the scene, Network Interface Cards (NICs) were an add-on item that you plugged into an open motherboard slot. They still exist. As the tech matured, the networking chips were just integrated onto the motherboard, freeing up expansion slots or allowing for smaller computers/laptops. If your onboard NIC fails, there is always the option of adding an addon card or a USB to WiFi or a USB to ethernet dongle. They're dirt cheap, too.

Brown turned all the cameras off for Antifa and it took a while to find the guy who could turn them back on.

More seriously, the MIT professor is also Portuguese so it’s probably some weird blood feud.

146 The New York Times makes another big effort to connect Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Fails again. "The Times interviewed more than 30 former Epstein employees, victims of his abuse and others who crossed paths with the two men over the years. The Times also obtained new documents that illuminate their relationship and scoured court documents and other public records...An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors."

158 Everyone asking "how come a 90k/yr Ivy League school doesn't have security cams" doesn't realize how inefficient/incompetent the Brown University admin is.

Brown is run by nearly 4000 administrators (not professors!) who might work in ResLife yet have a PhD in obscure fields (because many of these folks are failed academics who still want to work in academia).

The overcredentialed admins don't actually have any practical skills to do their jobs — so just invent a bunch of busywork for themselves and others, demand six figures, and out of an inflated sense of importance, hire a bunch of assistants to do busywork for them.

This results in a lot of overhead — salaries are the biggest expense category at Brown — and not so much money left for facilities (no security cameras), dorms (lots of flooding and lead paint), or food (poorly regarded).

But at the end of the day, it usually doesn't matter! Unlike other schools, Brown doesn't need safe facilities, nice dorms, or tasty food to attract students because everybody goes to Brown for the Ivy League brand.

1. Schools generally don't like people with real jobs, like security, because they tend to be rational and not progressive loons.

175 When ethernet first came onto the scene, Network Interface Cards (NICs) were an add-on item that you plugged into an open motherboard slot. They still exist. As the tech matured, the networking chips were just integrated onto the motherboard, freeing up expansion slots or allowing for smaller computers/laptops. If your onboard NIC fails, there is always the option of adding an addon card or a USB to WiFi or a USB to ethernet dongle. They're dirt cheap, too.

It was like 10 or 20 men full time to do a job at 1/100 efficiency.

It made me so angry. I worked my ass off for tuition. I told one random dean that they needed to itemize and send a letter to each student telling them where their tuition went.

Plus we still have very little snow in the Intermountain West and it is impacting my happiness.I will continue to pray for tons of snow. Many feet of snow. The midwest and northeast don't need it like we do for water in the summer.

My husband, a weather nerd from when I met him decades ago, claims it might get better in a week. We'll see. The wind is blowing madly since last night and I pray for snow to follow (which is normal til now).

I see there is no news yet from Miami about the Portuguese narcissist killer. I want to know more about what he did after he left Brown (no doubt in a hissy fit and something maybe happened in the auditorium where he went nuts). Is he ghey or married? Religion? Politics? What was his job? Why was he not legal after this many years on a green card?

I think it is grand that Brown University, with an $8 billion endowment, uses a homeless guy, living in the basement of the building, for security. No secure doors for passkey or ID to accesss the building. No cameras. Just John in the basement.

67 Check your ISP's outage map.
Can you connect to your router via wired connection instead of wirelessly? If you can and you still have troubles, it's not the wifi.
In cmd prompt, you can do a ipconfig /flushdns
Then do a ipconfig /renew

If that doesn't fix it, you can try
ipconfig
find the "Default gateway" ip address
ping 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the address is)
if you get a reply for the pings, then try
ping google.com
if you get a reply, it's not the network

80 Kindltot- from below- what is your doctor telling you on that slow research and statin use? I am not a doctor, nurse or any other medical professional. I believe strongly there are way more considerations than simply seed oils in heart attack increases. Diet overall, exercise, side effects of medications, prescriptions being given out without a wholistic approach (are you seeing a dietitian? Advised to take CoQ10? Berberine?) Have your doctors looked at your insulin resistance which can play a big role here, too? I don’t want the funeral to be yours either!

111 Under other cicrcumstances, the press conference with the Rhode Island authorities last night — the mayor, the police chief, the Rhode Island governor and attorney general, the president of Brown — might have been played for comedy. The politicians celebrated Providence and Rhode Island. Long on happy talk and self-contgratulation, they seemed to me short on the facts of the case. Like comic buffoons, they are full of themselves. Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks provided a striking contrast.

The aptly named Providence Mayor Brett Smiley might be able to rescue Saturday Night Live from its doldrums. Brown President Christina Paxson could play Smiley’s clueless foil. Providence Police Chief Colonel Oscar Perez, Jr. seemed like a throwback to Garrett Morris’s Chico Escueala in the glory days of SNL.

133 64 Sounds like you may have an expired certificate on your machine. Refresh your IP

79 67 Check your ISP's outage map.
Can you connect to your router via wired connection instead of wirelessly? If you can and you still have troubles, it's not the wifi.
In cmd prompt, you can do a ipconfig /flushdns
Then do a ipconfig /renew

If that doesn't fix it, you can try
ipconfig
find the "Default gateway" ip address
ping 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the address is)
if you get a reply for the pings, then try
ping google.com
if you get a reply, it's not the network

We can do more if none of that helps

Unfortunately, the more complete way to completely shut down your computer and restart it is.... restart.

Ironically, the "shut down" option, just saves your RAM to disk and turns off the power. And then when you turn back on the power, the OS notices that it was shut down and just loads the image back into memory.

Oh, no. The cardiologist just places stents and has a list of meds to provide, the naturopath passed me to her DO who normally does Rx and the like, and he doesn't read charts.
As for the rest, yes I do all that stuff on my own, also Nattokinase and Bromelain seem to help in some cases but I don't have any direct imaging to help figure out if it is working in my case, and it is definitely not "standard of care".
Standard of care is statins and future stents.

Piper, metabolic syndrome is a complex of issues, and it is starting to be recognized that they are interconnected, and no MD I have dealt with seems to care about any of it. Liver, Pancreas, lipidemia, arteriosclerosis and being overweight are all involved, but arteriosclerosis may be more to do with high blood pressure and damage to the epithelial cells, and of course scarring due to stents. I am told that a zero cholesterol diet may help in about 8 -12 months once my body scavenges it all to protect my nerve sheathes, but it seems as wise as reducing scarring by going on a zero vitamin C diet and hoping the scurvy doesn't kill me first.

209 Ace, what OS are you running?

If it's Linux, beware: the Linux foundation is getting corrupt (maybe doesn’t apply to all releases but definitely eyes-open when considering an update or upgrade).

[Pull Quote #1:] Artificial Intelligence is “the future of The Linux Foundation”.

That is according to The Linux Foundation’s 2025 annual report.

AI is mentioned over 150 times in the 59 page report, with AI being, by far, the most common theme and topic — with nearly every section discussing AI.


Pull Quote #2:] Have you been enjoying the chaos of Trans Activism within Open Source?

Good. Because The Linux Foundation has been awarding “hundreds” of scholarships to DEI style organizations… including “TransTech Social Enterprises”.

Fannie Mae employees are not federal employees; Fannie Mae is a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) that is privately owned but operates under federal conservatorship by the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency), meaning its workers are private sector, not government employees, though the FHFA employees overseeing them are federal
. While Fannie Mae serves a public mission and has government ties (like being in conservatorship), it's structured as a private company, distinct from a federal agency

I have a little more respect for Ace than to believe he would try to hotspot a phone that already can't connect to the internet.

Phones don't have to hotspot in order to connect to the internet, so if the phone was not connecting, why would you take the extra step of hotspotting?

300 Apple is known to bork devices to force OS upgrades.

They actually don’t but people are at a cargo cult level with computers so the first thing at hand that isn’t PEBKAC always gets blamed.

Developer betas do sometime bork Bluetooth but that’s not appreciably different from the normal state of Bluetooth. And normies definitely shouldn’t run those.

308 If Ace has a "smart TV" or Roku and it can access Internet, it's not the home router. A smart phone will sometimes failover to the cell tower... making you think the ISP or home network is fine.

That would be helpful to know. And probably indicate the issue is with the PC, it's network interface, or its configuration is borked.

312 32 billion in losses for just one manufacturer, all for the goal of electrifying our transportation.

In what world not involving massive government subsidies did they think they were going to recoup those expenditures, much less make a profit?
A first year marketing student, or accounting student, could do a rudimentary 5 minute google search and find that demand would never be there.

I'd truly like to feel bad for corporations that knuckle under to the pressure from the feds, but at some point they've earned this loss.

56 More highlights from sad Judge Dugan fans:

When Gavin Newsom wins in 2028, this judge should be the first person he pardons. Judge Dugan is a civil rights hero.

The whole prosecution was political in nature and had nothing to do with the law. The prosecutor's tongue can’t be removed from Trump’s ass so the argument that this isn’t political or trying to set an example is so laughably false that he should be disbarred

Trump has obstructed justice on actual serious crimes like a dozen times. MAGA has ruined America and the entire legal system. We need to completely replace SCOTUS.

Hey MAGA, what are you going to do when the broken political and legal system comes for you? 

Unfortunately those jurors are now collaborators with an illegitimate regime attempting to destroy America

THE MORNING RANT: After $32B in Losses, Ford Throws in the Towel on EVs – There Will Not Be a Full-Size Electric Pickup Truck

Ford Logo.jpg

Ford Motor Company has announced that it is de-transitioning from the “EV Transition.” Specifically, Ford has finally given up on the eco-globalist dream of an all-EV future, and the company will no longer try to cram recalcitrant consumers into electric vehicles.

“Ford Writes Down $19.5 billion As It Pivots Electric Lightning Line of Vehicles” [Fortune – 12/15/2025]

This is a huge victory for liberty-loving Americans. Left-wing zealots had specifically targeted gasoline-powered vehicles in their battle against carbon-fueled freedom. The rejection of EVs by American consumers was a populist political statement, and Ford executives found themselves in the position of having to either remain loyal to the enviro-communists in Davos, which would have killed off the company, or finally accept that consumers will not acquiesce to an unelected green dictatorship.

More specifically, Ford has finally acknowledged that there is just not a market for an all-electric pickup truck. Not only has the Ford F150 Conflagration Lightning been canceled, but Ford will not even attempt to produce another full-size electric pickup. Of note, the gas/diesel F150 is America’s best-selling vehicle.

Ford CEO Jim Farley is quoted as saying, “Instead of plowing billions into the future knowing these large EVs will never make money, we are pivoting.”

Mr. Farley’s catastrophic EV misadventure has now cost Ford over $32 billion in losses. Ford had already lost $13 billion over the past four years on its “Model E” program (or “Model E-dsel” as some have joked), and the company is now about to realize another $19 billion loss in unwinding the EV mess.

To put the magnitude of Ford’s $32 billion EV loss into context, Ford’s total profit over the past seven years was about $31 billion. Some back-of-the-envelope math shows me that Ford will have lost almost $100,000 for every EV it has ever sold.

Some people are arguing that Ford was just a victim of Obama/Biden era mandates, but Toyota and Honda deftly navigated through those years without committing to an all-EV future in the manner that Ford and General Motors did.

To be fair to Mr. Farley, he answers to a weak Board of Directors which is apparently obedient to the Ford family. Meanwhile, the Ford family retains a powerful voting share of the company’s stock. Bill Ford has maneuvered himself into a powerful position within the Ford family voting bloc and on the Board. Mr. Ford is also a hard-left environmentalist who for decades has been trying to make Ford into a green company that would impress his communist friends in Davos. Jim Farley’s commitment to EVs was almost certainly at the direction of Bill Ford.

I can only surmise what is going on within the Ford family as Bill Ford and Jim Farley drove the company into a $32 billion ditch, but I am guessing that some family members have finally said “enough.”

Despite the great news about Ford terminating any future all-electric F150, there are clearly some “green” bones being thrown to Bill Ford. The company is promising at some future date to release an extended range “EREV” pickup that will have a gasoline-powered generator alongside an electric drivetrain. That sounds just as preposterous as the concept behind plug-in hybrids.

Ford has also announced that it is getting into the industrial-scale battery electric storage systems business, also knowns as “BESS.” Let me be the first to confidently predict that there will be a multi-billion-dollar write-off for Ford’s BESS distraction in coming years.

“Ford to convert EV battery plants to make battery storage for data centers” [Elektrek – 12/15/2025]

Ford is jumping into the battery energy storage business, betting that booming demand from data centers and the electric grid can absorb the EV battery capacity it says it’s not using. To achieve this, Ford plans to repurpose its existing EV battery manufacturing capacity in Glendale, Kentucky, into a dedicated hub for manufacturing battery energy storage systems. Ford says it will invest about $2 billion over the next two years to scale the new business.

Ford getting involved in battery storage systems makes as much sense as when Exxon decided to manufacture and sell office machinery. But I understand in part why Ford is doing this. Specifically, without the BESS announcement, Ford would have to own up to another multi-billion-dollar write-off for the zombie Kentucky battery plant. Plus, with this BESS project, Bill Ford can still feel proud that the company is engaging in a form of green, save-the-world posturing.

For those of us Tennessee taxpayers who kicked in almost a billion dollars toward Ford’s new electric truck plant (“Blue Oval City”, there may be some good news. Concurrent with these other major changes in direction, Ford has announced that the never-used, Memphis-area plant will be repurposed toward the manufacture of gasoline powered pickup trucks - but not until 2029. That would be great, but again, I fear that this is really just a stalling tactic to avoid yet another multi-billion dollar write-off. So long as Ford keeps promising production out of that plant at some date in the far-away future, the state of Tennessee can’t claw back the bad investment it made, and Ford keeps the massive loss off of its books – at least for a few more years.

Even though Ford still has a long way to go to fully extricate itself from its negligent EV commitment, killing off its flagship EV and promising that there will never be an all-electric full-size pickup truck is a monumental milestone.

*****

An article I wrote titled “Banks Are Racially Profiling Mortgage Applicants — The Government Requires It” has been published by The American Spectator.

As crazy as it sounds, if a mortgage applicant won’t disclose his race and ethnicity, the banker is required to visually profile the customer and report that customer’s racial appearance to the government. Bank of America was fined by the Commercial Financial Protection Bureau and some of its bankers were disciplined because they chose not to engage government-mandated racial profiling.

I’d be honored if you’d give it a read. (This article is not blocked by a paywall.)

This week, every worker at the Glendale electric vehicle battery plant was laid off.. The shutdown affects all 1,600 employees at the facility and comes after a series of delays, including the decision never to open a second plant known as “Kentucky 2.”

The layoffs also come just four months after production began at Kentucky 1.

Saw this article that says that all the studies they did on alcohol killing the liver did not isolate for other things.

Saturated fats show signs of actually healing an alcoholic rat's liver.

The combination of alcohol and seed oils is what really desiccates the liver. Much less sign of liver damage to alcoholic mice that consumed only saturated fats.

I think the flat Japanese economy and Honda having to rely on foreign markets like Europe and US drove that comment. Toyota has the most successful hybrid program which satisfies most of the market that EV's would plus eliminating range anxiety which EVs can't. Honda and the rest like Hyundai/Kia, Nissan, etc. simply did not have the ability to go toe to toe in hybrids so they pivoted toward full EV planning.

The ironic thing is that Ford had probably the best of the dwinding Big Three in hybrid tech and threw it away to go after the EV market.

A truck that was supposed to be sub-20k that is now sub-30k and trying to find base trims is nigh impossible, so the cheap truck is going to cost you just as much as a Ranger, Colorado or Tacoma.

Or the new Auto manufacturer mantra, pay more, get less.

Maybe if Lee Zeldin can undo some of the EPA crap like DEF and stupid high mileage mandates then a non UAW controlled company would make a bigger pickup, then I would maybe buy one of those down the road. But for now I'm hoping I (mechanics I trust) can keep the 2003 one ton working. New vehicles have too much foo-fraw crap on them and cost too much.

In 1940, the CEO of GM (then the biggest most important company in the world) got a phone call out of the blue from the president of the US. He asked the CEO to leave his top job on the planet (umm, no disastrous boondoggles on his resume) and begin organizing US industry for war production.

The guy (an immigrant who had worked as a stevedore, and been a boxer) said yes, right then. No "let me get back to you", no week of reflection, no PowerPoint presentation. Just - yeah, I'll do it.

It really depends on the extraction process. If they have to super-heat it, put it through a chemical process, bleach it, or something along those lines, then it's bad.

You can get "expeller-pressed sunflower oil" which my understanding is that it is not nearly as bad as the chemically-extracted stuff.

For plant-based oils, it's best to stick with olive, avocado (although there are no quality constraints on avocado oil) and coconut.

The problem with saturated--natural--fats, is that they have a low smoke-point. I think, Gee has the highest smoke point of animal fats.

96 Back when the entire EV craze began to be pushed, it was well known that battery tech wasn't nearly where it needed to be for them to work, but that was ok because the demand would spur new technology and it would all work out just great.
None of the proponents paused to see the magical thinking inherent in that assumption; that something new and magical will show up just because you want it to.

So lithium batteries showed up and all the cheerleaders and promoters jumped up and down and said "yes! This is all that we needed, it's all good now!" Except that they weren't that much better, and they had a host of new problems that came with them, but no one committed to the new system could afford to say the truth. So they all, for various reasons, committed to trying to ram a Big Lie down the publics throat.

97 The problem with the strategy on electric trucks is that it misunderstands the truck user.

The type of fellow that is forming out $70-90k on a truck needs it for the trucks abilities, hauling and towing and such. And EVs just underperform at those tasks, they aren't practical as an industrial work truck.

The people that would buy electric trucks for which the truck's abilities are suitable are rural folks that need a truck bed for hauling feed, taking trash to the dump, getting a load of mulch, throw the weedeater in, etc.

But those folks won't fork out $75k for a farm truck. They'll just buy an old gas truck for $5k somewhere.

The power tool and garden tool industry have really done a very good job of assessing the market for battery powered tools, hence the success in those markets. But EV makers have just been stuck in some kind of ideological mindset rather than a pragmatic one.

Tesla's success in the car market has been that, relative to competition, it's not egregiously overpriced for a midsize sedan.

These battery storage centers use lithium iin batteries. There are other batteries under development for this purpise, but lithium iin is the default.

Battery storage centers are periodically shut down by battery fires. They catch fire like electric cars do, and the fires are almost impossible to extinguish.

And also, you have to think that a car is expected to carry the weight of itself + passengers + some luggage. A truck is expected to carry significant extra weight. It's gonna tow things, it's going to haul large things in the bed.

The more weight it can tow or haul--weight that does not at all contribute to the power of the vehicle--like battery does--the more you can hype your truck's power. So, again, you need to add more weight to your vehicle in order to give it a chance to tow something significant.

Older guns are more easily fixed because a really good gunsmith can even fabricate or engineer most of them if needed.

Modern cars are a complex mix of computer, sensors, electrical system, and mechanical parts nowadays.

And like the farm machinery industry, due to slowing unit sales, the automakers are relying on proprietary codes, making frequent changes to prevent used parts from being used successfully, and other means to ensure that their dealers and company have a steady income stream from repairs and parts instead of selling vehicles.

Sodium ion batteries have just rollled out in the market. Musk is trying to decide between sodium ion and aluminum ion batteries for a cheaper EV. You trade off a bit of energy density by the best lithium ion types which means more weight for a given storage requirement but in return you get greater longevity, much less problems with runaway fires so faster charging, and much cheaper materials as in mebbe 10-20 percent of lithium ion at scale.

150 There is a ton of bad information out there with seed oils, most of this is association, not causation. Seed oils that are cold pressed are fine, but will have a low smoke point and the taste is going to be heavy. Processed seed oils strip some nutrients but increase the smoke point and decrease the taste, which is important in baking or stir frying. Seed oils have Omega-6 in them, and there is a balance between Omega -6 and 3s we need to maintain. However, unless you are drinking the oil, which I do not recommend, using it to cook with in moderation is not going to harm you. There is a lot of seed oils in ultra processed foods - it’s the ultra processed food that is of concern in total. Avoid these.

Fair enough. I used to do a lot of the gunsmithing myself as you can actually fit small parts pretty well with nothing more than files and stones.

Colt double action revolvers though before they went to coil spring actions in the 70's are like working on Swiss watches and had a lot of experienced Colt technicians hand fitting at the factory on key parts like the pawl and hand.

A few companies were smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall and jerked off anti-gas regulators with promises of future EVs that they never really intended to produce:

-- Mazda
-- BMW/Mini (although they did roll out EVs, they were considered laggards)
-- Lamborghini (jerked off regulators with the Lanzador concept that was pretty much vaporware)
-- Toyota and Honda as mentioned above.

216 From me at The American Spectator: “Banks Are Racially Profiling Mortgage Applicants - The Government Requires It”

------

[The root cause of the 2008 Financial Meltdown:]

Although later weaponized by DogEater (Making NINJA Loans Great Again!), this crap started with the Clinton Administration back in 1993, announcing plans to crack down on financial institutions to uncover racial discrimination in mortgage lending

The administration also made changes to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to make mortgages more accessible to lower- and lower-middle-income families.

Furthermore, they threatened to subject mortgage companies to CRA regulations if they didn't "voluntarily" increase lending to low-income borrowers and minorities, making compliance more attractive to avoid public scrutiny.

HUD Secretary Fredo "The Elder" Cuomo pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $2 trillion in "affordable" mortgages, effectively encouraging lenders to expand credit to minority and low-income borrowers.

Banks that failed to meet CRA obligations risked having their expansion plans blocked, creating strong incentives to increase lending in minority neighborhoods.

Surely this will make people worried about their immigration status show up to their court dates. /s There needs to be the ability for people to appear via video call for these things. It's outrageous that they have to turn up in person, especially in these circumstances.

Well they got their first jury to support the Nazi court prosecutors. The judges dropped the ball here. As a matter of law her conviction is wrongful, and the judge should have thrown it out well before it go to the jury.

Can't wait for the inevitably successful appeal. Why would they decide no on the lesser charge for concealment but convict on the greater charge that is barely any different?

is this a law board? I just checked the sub name and it appears to be so. a jury heard the facts and applied it to the law and made a decision. Happens every day.

If your jury is full of cult members, you are screwed, and the law doesn't seem to matter.

All of these brands originally partnered with Western car makers (VW, etc) to develop EV cars and tech. The Chinese stole the tech, copied the business models to the letter, and then kicked out their Western partners. Same as it ever was.

257 At Ars Technica the commenters are experiencing full blown grief and anger over the passing of the electric F-150. It is rather lovely.

Meanwhile, VDH, notes the passing of three refineries in California and the catastrophic impact this going to have on the state's economy. Of course this is all self-inflicted Communist green madness. The solution? Import gasoline form Asia - you can't make this up. For extra credit this is going to whack Nevada and Arizona too. Plus $8.00 per gallon gas in 2026.

https://youtu.be/SBbXJ5trgKg

Meanwhile the Phillips shutting down their refinery in CA has had a knock on effect in Washington State with the closing of their Ferndale refinery. This should not only create gasoline shortages in Washington State but also in Oregon as it is 100% dependent on Washington State for gasoline.

270 Clearly the worst war-time expedient that has evolved into the biggest economic anchor around the country's neck was exempting "health insurance" coverage from income taxes.

At the time it was relatively minor as everything was different, but was the basis on which the entire superstructure of non-market irrational oligopolistic subsidized cost-shifting "health insurance" finance evolved.

Many noxious wheels turning in this picture but it all started there. Companies were constrained by wage controls, labor was short, so various marginal incentives were pursued to attract bodies.

Plus maintenance is a big issue: School districts that took beaucoup Federal bucks to buy EV buses, with the accompanying fanfare, discover that maintaining them costs money that has to come from somewhere else. As in, from them. The EV buses then get quietly put away.

Industry funded studies are part of the problem dating back to the sixties and fats instead of sugar being blamed for bad health. Eggs were blamed by LBJ for cholesterol simply because egg prices were high and LBJ did not want to get blamed.

Next look at the vaxx studies and the serious lack of studies for old drugs like Ivermectin etc. that are out of patent.

Scientists are NOT objective by and large if they want to last in the field. They have to scamble for funding from wherever they can scrounge it and that means playing ball to study what the 'consensus' wants studied or what some Sugar Daddy is willing to pay for.

LOL, no. Replacing saturated fats with PUFAs from seed oils lowers LDL and reduces CVD risk. Many many reviews have confirmed this.

The biggest argument against seed oil is that it causes inflammation and oxidative stress. This isn't supported in any of the recent reviews.

Reviews of seed oils among diabetic and dyslipidemic
patients found seed oils improve lipid profiles, glycemic control, and reduce oxidative stress markers.

Most of the bullshit about seed oils come from old re-analyzed experiments from 50-60 years ago and supposition that's been proved over and over to be false.

The Hell’s Angels claim that is just pretty much short of complete nonsense. They weren’t hired to do much of anything, and they don’t play cops.

Actually it isn't. Government has managed to force people to stop buying gas powered cars, mostly, but overall automobile purchases are cratering, and the Euro car companies are still losing large amounts of money and shutting down factories.
Europe is heading towards a future where there will be almost no European car manufacturing left, and all cars worldwide will be built in China, India, Japan, and the US (with a handful of other smaller players like Korea)

351 @Whig and semi-literate: With BESS, the light weight of lithium isn't an advantage. It's still used because that's what exists and is best adapted for the purpose, but the primary reason to use lithium in most applications (as opposed to even regular old lead-acid batteries) is that in mobile applications the light weight of lithium is an acceptable tradeoff for the cost. Remember that in vehicle and other mobile applications, part of the energy released by the battery is used to move the battery, so you're looking at the net energy. When the use is stationary, it doesn't matter what the battery weighs, so lithium is less advantaged.

Ford has also announced that it is getting into the industrial-scale battery electric storage systems business, also knowns as “BESS.” Let me be the first to confidently predict that there will be a multi-billion-dollar write-off for Ford’s BESS distraction in coming years.



They'd have probably been better off going into the BESS business from the start. Every cellular telephone site, switching center, cable TV hub, landline telephone facility etc has backup batteries. In many cases it's mandated by FCC that these sites have x number of hours of battery backup capacity, over and above their backup diesel generators.

But of course, they went EV not just because they wanted to save the planet, but to chase down those sweet, sweet government subsidy dollars.

I'll believe it when I see it. Plus, the comment above isn't accurate about what their capabilities are. It's "up to" 600 miles, which isn't far off from current (bullshit) claims about range. Same with charging. If you have access to one of those super-fast (and expensive) charging stations, and an 800 volt architecture, you can charge in maybe 10-15 minutes. So these new batteries don't move the game on that much further.

380 "Ford getting involved in battery storage systems makes as much sense as when Exxon decided to manufacture and sell office machinery."

Actually, it's the opposite: Exxon's 1980s office venture (word processors/typewriters) flopped amid fierce competition from Xerox/IBM, costing billions.
Ford is smartly repurposing EV battery plants for large-scale LFP container systems (>5MWh) to power grids/data centers—stabilizing renewables, regulating frequency, providing backup amid AI-driven demand. This booming market (Tesla's Megapacks are highly profitable) aligns perfectly with Ford's expertise.
LFP is exceptionally safe: higher thermal stability, lower fire risk than alternatives, ideal for stationary use. Strategic pivot to high-margin growth. This is not new, you are (as always) behind the curve (Google "AES deploys 20 MW of storage in the Dominican Republic")

I used to do big empirical studies and a lot of the statistical methods necessary for certain tasks were first pioneered in medical statistics. The problem with most studies is a) we cannot feed people Purina Human Chow switching out key ingredients for decades to get a decent fix on optimal human food, b) impossible to separate out environmental effects like air pollution, chemicals in water and food, medicines, genetics, etc., and c) cost of panel studies running for decades is enormous and you have to have a much bigger panel at first because of attrition from people dropping out of studies. We have added d) where a lot of 'answers' are simply unacceptable socially so we muddle messages (salt intake for one).

We have multiplied the number of variables to the extent that generalities like moderation are about the easiest solution to very complex interactions among relevant variables.

It all has to do with funding the Left and it's sources: most of the 'green energy' corps were all left-leaning and funding those causes. Vice the 'oiligarchy' companies we're more familiar with. They are far more conservative (although they do donate to Dems) than the EV crowd, and by mandating a move off of gas vehicles, it would help fund more of the left's people. Plain and simple.

CAFE standards are based on the entire sales base of vehicles which includes everything up through standard pickups IIRC.

Posted by: Gauloises and Gitanes at December 19, 2025 12:00 PM (HTCU3)



Using a gasoline engine in this application is stupid. Diesel engines are much more efficient as the generator in diesel-electric systems. A diesel engine is REALLY happy at steady RPMs for power generation. Gas engines tend to be better for variable RPM use, as in cars that need quick power application.

The choice of gasoline has nothing to do with performance, it has everything to do with logistics. The gasoline supply network is built out with an existing focus on the average consumer. The diesel network is built with a focus on commercial use.

Well, here's the thing. I'm the only N that can do anything from my take on the message "Don't eat saturated fats." Or "Eat more saturated fats." So, it is significant to me if I cut out--to the degree possible--seed oils, increase saturated fats and get good lab numbers.

It makes sense that way, does it not? The goal of such a message is to cause *me* to worry, and *me* to change my habits. But I'm never going to have proof of either without numbers.

So if I have the best cholesterol numbers I've ever had in my life--you don't have to believe me--I could care less--but if I have the best numbers, how do I subscribe to "Oh, yeah, eat more seed oils because they're 'lighter' than saturated fats".

455 Ford's problem with EVs is that they don't know how to make them for a profit.

It's clear that the future is EV for cars and trucks. Only one company, Tesla, makes EVs at a profit.

Ford hired some ex-Tesla guys and they are heading a "skunkworks" project to build EVs that can actually make a profit. Expect this to be big news when it's unveiled. I expect their first EV to be a small car, not a truck.

Building an EV truck with an onboard generator isn't completely stupid. Stellantis is planning to sell a truck like that too. But IMHO it's better to have a pure ICE truck or a pure EV truck... instead of hauling a generator around, just run on gas or else put extra batteries in the truck. But since Ford can't build EVs at a profit yet, the hybrid EV truck looks good to them.

It really depends on the extraction process. If they have to super-heat it, put it through a chemical process, bleach it, or something along those lines, then it's bad.

You can get "expeller-pressed sunflower oil" which my understanding is that it is not nearly as bad as the chemically-extracted stuff.

For vegetarian oils, it's best to stick with olive, avocado (although there are no quality constraints on avocado oil) and coconut.

The problem with saturated--natural--fats, is that they have a low smoke-point. I think, Gee has the highest smoke point of animal fats.

If I was a dictator in charge of the federal goverment it would have been easier for me to inmobilize you if you drive a gas vehicle instead of an EV. Just close the refineries, blow away the pipelines and good luck fueling your vehicle.

If you have an EV, there are many ways to get the energy to "fuel it" that are out of my reach. There are 132 refineries in the USA according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Meanwhile, there were as of 2022 12,538 utility-scale electric power plants in the USA as per the same source.

"Ev cars are where battery power tools were 40 years ago. Shiny, new, and totally impractical. They took hours and hours to charge, and lasted 20 minutes if you were lucky."

Tell me you don't know anything about EVs without telling me that you don't know anything about EVs. It takes seconds to charge an EV. You just plug it in when you arrive at your home, office or wherever. Go on and do your business and when you come back your "tank" is full.

There are even more EV "fuel" sources if you count houses with solar panels. My house can charge my car most months of the year. (I live at a northern latitude and December/January are not good months for solar production.)

I think few of the people who read this blog have an oil well plus refinery in their home. This is an advantage for EVs.

My car could be remotely disabled, but if I was really worried about that I could disable the cellular antenna and never hook the car up to WiFi. An EV with remote access disabled is the most dictator-safe vehicle you could get.

In fact there are portable solar panels that you could carry in your EV. They would take days to recharge the car, but you totally could be off-grid and moving around from place to place.

"Ford's problem with EVs is that they don't know how to make them for a profit. It's clear that the future is EV for cars and trucks. Only one company, Tesla, makes EVs at a profit."

Correct. My concern with the author of this piece and others covering EVs in conservative media is their reluctance to ground opinions in facts. Claims that EVs are neither practical nor profitable must address Tesla's success: a viable business with $97.69 billion in revenue in 2024, $7.1 billion in GAAP net income, and 1.789 million vehicles delivered. Millions of Tesla vehicles are on roads globally.

Tesla (and Elon Musk specifically) shares some responsibility due to limited traditional advertising of vehicles and EV benefits. As evident in comments here, much public 'knowledge' about EVs stems from persistent myths.

I have an EV as my daily driver. I hook it up to my home charger when I need to charge. It takes less time to charge than I take to sleep so overnight charging seems "instant".

On long road trips I need to stop at a fast charger. The car takes a similar amount of time to charge as I would want to stop for a meal anyway.

On very long road trips, like coast to coast, the charging would annoy me. But I never do that, and at least I would be saving some money vs. paying for gasoline.

My longest trip was down the west coast, to visit family in California. I would totally do that trip again in my EV.

When I have to rent a gasoline car, I'm always shocked again by how much worse the car is compared to my EV.

To those of you who prefer gas: good for you, keep driving gas cars. However, please don't try to tell me what EVs are like.

Something that I ask critics of EVs is if they ever count the numbers of cars on the side of the road when on long trips and see how many of them are EVs. I honestly can't recall ever seeing one. Not that it never happens, but not as often as regular vehicles. This is important because how often critics claims that they might get stuck on the side of the road with an empty battery.

28 This is from 1946, so I suspect the car is pre-war. The auto companies began producing cars again after the war, but they were retreads of 1941-42 models. America had to wait a few years for truly new models. People who had cars before Pearl Harbor hung on to them.

I suppose some financially fortunate people could buy a new car in '46, though.

70 There are nice details to the car and the woman. Note the column shifter behind the red wheel, the red knobs on the window cranks, and the red necklace she's wearing. It is odd that there appear to be no window cranks on the driver's side; the one for the vent window should be visible at least. The car also has a divided, two-part windshield, something that car companies phased out in the early Fifties. And no external mirrors on the doors, either. Those were extra-cost options once upon a time, if they were available at all.

The object thrown over the driver's seat could be a tarp or a raincoat.

91 I was surprised this was by Edward Hopper. I expect sharper lines in his paintings This is more fluid and relaxed and seems spontaneous. (I learned it is a watercolor with colored pencils on paper which adds to the looser feel.) I like how the focus is on Jo and the car rather than the actual landscape or her drawing. It is a very human image. This is a nice, relaxed painting to end the week with.

The scene has a bit of nostalgia for me. The car remind me of an old Checker Marathon cab I used to drive. No power steering or brakes and standard transmission. It was a beast to handle in small, colonial era streets but it always ran. And I miss bench seats and vent windows.

Maybe the seats are covered in something. My dad's '58 Chevy Impala came with vinyl-trimmed cloth seats. He went out and had plastic seat covers put on at least the front seat. The plastic yellowed quickly and began to peel before very long -- and since the Impala had no A/C, the seats were damned hot when the car had been in the sun.

For a long time leather was a very rare option except on top-of-the-line convertibles. Pre-war cars usually had some kind of fuzzy cloth, sort of like velour, or cord material. Vinyl, I think, began to appear in the Fifties.

107 It pays to look into the numbers. Most people won't, but they should. This is really good news.

The BLS says we lost 41,000 jobs in 2 months.

But control for Federal layoffs and we gained 121,000.

Control for deportations and we gained 300,000.

The “Weak” job numbers are entirely made of Federal layoffs and millions of illegals going home.

David Bell's 1976 model in The Mathematical Gazette applied concepts not allow here to proved the opposite. During most of the late night weed-induced ramblings on the subject - pot heads forget there are two sources of wetness (Don't even you guys!). Wetness from above and frontal wetness.

Rain from the front (you "collide" with drops as you move forward): This is proportional to your speed—you hit more drops per second when running. However, over a fixed distance, the total frontal hits are the same regardless of speed (you sweep through the same volume of rainy air).

Spread out among the entire US, one probably would not notice much. We are a really big place which is why anecdotes are so incomplete to get a good picture.

That being said, enrollments in public schools has dipped in major metro areas significantly during the last year to the extent one large city near me is discussing closing schools.

From Alabama,
"Another key reason, though, is that some students “just disappeared” and never showed up despite being enrolled in an Alabama public school, he said. Alabama superintendents have told Mackey that it seems a majority of those students who were unaccounted for were Hispanic with unknown immigration statuses, he said.

Because of the sharp decline in overall student enrollment, Mackey projects that the district will need 500 to 700 fewer teachers by the 2026-27 school year. "

Housing costs fluctuate. In 2008 housing costs went waaaaay down. Was it also from self deportations?

Plus in 2024 there was a record number of apartments built nationwide. Around 575k units. And 2025 was close behind with 500k units. That’s what led to lower rents not imaginary millions of self deportations.

Ok that’s fair.

However student enrollment has been crashing everywhere because Millenails stopped having kids. And older GenZ are having even fewer kids that millennials did. One crazy number I saw is there are more people 60+ in the US than under 10.

SDUSD’s “Equity Collective” says it is “committed to dismantling systems of oppression and inequity” and calls for ongoing “investment in historically marginalized groups.”

223 It's one thing to have the corruption and fraud exposed in a place like MN. The only surprise is the amount of money the Somali's were able to steal. Most people are nonplused by the state government's involvement.

It's quite another thing to actually see accountability in one's lifetime for something like this. Especially when the entirety of the judicial system is clearly on the side of the criminals.

There will certainly be some shuffling of papers, some indictments drawn up and all the other theater we've come to expect. But I'm fairly certain nobody's going to prison over it. If anyone gets the blame it's going to some poor slob nobody's ever heard of and was likely only marginally involved and unable to find funding for a robust defense.

High School enrollment until this year was trending up a bit (decent economy during Bush years) but middle and elementary were dropping.

Simply put, we have to use indirect measures because the fed government (and states, etc.) do not know who we have in this country for decades now.

Many of those illegals worked in the shadow economy of floating cash paid jobs and the easiest sign of those departing should be rising costs for labor and construction depending on how slack the local jobs market are. ICE has not done very much yet in Workplace Enforcement and instead focused on criminals and terrorists first.

Complicating matters is the Reagan amnesty bill let employers off the hook if they took I-9 forms and the proffered ids at face value.

Urbanization drives lower birth rates because it raises the cost of having kids. And you get the stagnant economy for the middle of the income bell curve since the 1970's with declining real per capita income. Only Trump has managed some upturns much to the dismay of our investing class.

Cheaper labor from waves of immigrants legal or not results in depressing native fertility rates and is a perfect example of the tragedy of the commons.

It’s people not having kids. There was talk of consolidating some elementary schools but they decided to keep them open for now with some new bond measures that were passed. It’s a band aid, long term they’ll have to close several schools. No kids to fill them.

Looted by hedge funds types. Startup retailers (or restaurants for that matter) often cut deals with real estate investors to get started, then end up buying their own real estate if successful. WalMart, for example, to get started, often gave percentages of a store's gross sales but negotiated a lower fixed rent to the developers. As WalMart got bigger, then it let those old stores sit empty and built new ones that it owned. Eventually a lot were spun off to Hobby Lobby or other stores that did not compete with Wal Mart.

Sears was where Eddie Lampert looted it first by merging it with bankrupt K Mart, and then by spinning off the store real estate and charging rent back to the retail business. Has become a popular tactic claimed by hedge funds to 'unlock' hidden value but it ends up bankrupting the retail companies (and restaurant chains that used that tactic to get big).

Has there ever been an instance of property taxes decreasing in an American community?

/only half-joking

* asks Brave AI and gets following incorrect answer -- as the context equates "decreasing" with having to pay increased buy "relatively lower than they would have otherwise been" owing to Califzuela's Prop 13: *

"Yes, there have been instances of property taxes decreasing in American communities, primarily due to policy changes and voter initiatives. For example, California’s Proposition 13, passed in 1978, significantly restricted property tax increases by freezing assessments at 1975 levels or the purchase price and limiting annual increases to 2 percent.

This led to a substantial reduction in property tax burdens for many homeowners, effectively decreasing their tax payments over time as property values rose without corresponding tax increases.

Yeah, but would Trump still be in prison had they convicted him of interfering in Georgia's election?

Again, the tactic is to ignore the scale.
Posted by: Axeman

The fact is that Governor Kemp and AG Carr knew about this from teh get go and have refused to do a damn thing about nor about the fake electors case bullshit from Fulton County. They haven't done a damn thing and even the GA House and GA Senate, both controlled by GOP have done little enough. GA appellate courts have also been profiles in cowardice--not killing the fake cases outright years ago and not ordering Fulton to turn over those ballots for public perusal in 2021 when the suit began for access.

GA Sos Ratshitburger is another cog in the wheel by he and his employees lying at every moment to protect fraud in Fulton (and probably Savannah, Macon, and other blue areas) including the Senate runoff in 2021. They can all rot in hell for what they did.

Saw this article that says that all the studies they did on alcohol killing the liver did not isolate for other things.

Saturated fats show signs of actually healing an alcoholic rat's liver.

The combination of alcohol and seed oils is what really desiccates the liver. Much less sign of liver damage to alcoholic mice that consumed only saturated fats.

Seed oils are worse than cigarettes. Seed oils are worse than alcohol. Get them out of our food.

Trump has pardoned or at least commuted sentences for people who are nobodies, and he gave a full pardon to Ross Ulbrecht though that was a very controversial thing to do.

I'd reckon he isn't pardoning this Jelly Roll without at least some sense that the guy should be sprung.

The Morning Report — 12/19/25

Privateer.jpg

Good morning kids. Not to toot my own horn but am I good or what?! In yesterday's Morning Report, I wrote:

we have two separate shootings on two of the nation’s top campuses, Brown University and at MIT. . .Are these incidents all connected somehow. Given the assassination of Charlie Kirk and several failed attempts on President Trump as well as the violent rhetoric and actual violence and acts of terrorism by the Left cheered on and encouraged by the Democrat propagandist media and the Democrats themselves not just in the Trump era but virtually throughout our history. Well anything is possible, and maybe the MIT Professor had links to Academia’s bête noire The State of Israel or was targeted by the Chi-Coms or other foreign state actors? Meh, just spit-ballin’ here. Don’t cost nuthin’. . .  

Well, the gunman offed himsef and it turns out he was a Portuguese national, as was his victim at MIT. What his connection to the victims at Brown is unclear, except for the fact that he attended Brown at one point. But here's the kicker:

Israeli officials are reportedly investigating a possible Iranian connection to the murder of senior MIT nuclear scientist Prof. Nuno F. G. Loureiro, who was reportedly shot at his home on Monday evening by unknown assailants and died in the hospital a few hours later. Professor Loureiro, 47, was the director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), whose faculty he joined in 2016. He was born and raised in Portugal, earning an undergraduate degree from the Instituto Superior Tecnico in Lisbon and a Ph.D. from Imperial College in London, then spending several years at the Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion in Lisbon before moving to the United States. . . “The Israeli investigation is being conducted against the backdrop of Loureiro’s sensitive field of research,” JP reported. “However, informed sources have emphasized that at this stage, there is no unequivocal determination or evidence linking the murder to a state or intelligence operation.”

The Jewish magazine Forward on Wednesday sought to debunk social media rumors that Loureiro was killed because he was an outspoken supporter of Israel and Jewish people as unfounded. The rumors appear to be based on some social media posts that were mistakenly attributed to Prof. Loureiro, but actually written by someone else using the same name, along with a photo posted to social media that claimed to show a “Stand With Israel” sign in the professor’s window. . . There has been much speculation about such a connection, since the killer has proven remarkably elusive in both cases, and Loureiro’s home in Brookline is only about 50 miles from Brown University, so it would not be difficult for the killer to get from one murder site to the other in less than two days.

Well about me saying "Am I good or what?" I'll go with the "or what" choice. As I said, given everything going on both at home and abroad and the Venn diagram of events intersects at quite a few points. Almost any day of the week, the links we have can be played almost like that old game called "Mad Libs" no not angry leftists but a play on the expression Ad-lib, although there are myriad Mad Libs/angry leftists that populate virtually every link to one degree or another. Where or how the victims and perpetrator in these killings are connected vis a vis the motive is still unknown, and as President Trump is fond of saying, we'll just have to wait and see. Unless of course the propaganda media and their paymasters in the institutional left deem the truth way to inconvenient and damaging to their narrative.

As in this case:

How bad is the establishment media? How much does it present propaganda disguised as news? How low will it stoop? Here’s a case study.

A “Sioux Falls man” was arrested on Tuesday. It seems that this particular Sioux Falls man was minding his own business, not bothering anybody, livestreaming on Facebook, when he suddenly decided to let the world know that all was not right in the world of Sioux Falls Man. He announced, right on his Facebook livestream, that he was planning to burn a building down. He also brandished a gun and a knife. . . Having thus advertised his intentions to the world, Sioux Falls man was arrested, and the local media covered the story. Yet the way that one Sioux Falls “news” outlet presented the facts has implications that go far beyond Sioux Falls and the story of one local boy who went bad. . . You’d reasonably expect, or even assume, that this was a photo of the Sioux Falls man who was livestreaming and announced his plans to commit an act of arson. Yet not only was it not a photo of the perp, but it was a photo that showed someone who was about as different from the perp as it would be possible to get. . . the real Sioux Falls man who issued this arson threat was not the man in KELO’s photo. Instead, he was a black man named Mohamed Mansarry. Likely because of all the attention KELO received from their false photo (End Wokeness has 3.9 million followers on X), it has taken down the story that it initially circulated with the misleading photo; now all there is at that link is a Page Not Found notice. . .
The story that KELO now has up carries Mohamed Mansarry. But what was going on with that other photo? One X user offered the most likely explanation: “The media operates as a laundering service for the regime’s persistent failures. This visual deception in Sioux Falls is a blatant example of narrative control. KELO News substitutes a stock photo of a white man for Mohamed Mansarry to preserve a hollow multicultural illusion. This is a calculated attempt to sanitize demographic reality. You liberal sycophants swallow this visual poison because you fear the truth more than the fire Mansarry threatened to start. The press functions as the propaganda wing of a crumbling state that relies on your blindness to survive.”


At the tail end of the latest edition of the podcast CBD and I were reminiscing about the good old days growing up in the greater NYC area. For me it was the Flatbush/Midwood section of Brooklyn, having graduated from what was an outstanding example of what the concept of the Melting Pot ought to be: Midwood High School, where whatever your religion, ethnicity or background, we all somehow managed to get along and embraced not only our heritages but our common heritage of being American. Anyway, when we were off the air, CBD asked me about notable alumni:

Unfortunately one of my predecessors was Woody Allen and some years after I ventured as far away as across the street to Brooklyn College, came the truly execrable Hakeem Jeffries. I don't know if fellow alums Didi Conn, Morty Gunty or David Peel collectively offset the latter two.

But sadly, one of my own classmates, who long ago and far away I once considered a friend. I haven't seen nor spoken with him in ages and with this story I likely never will:

Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead,” network medical analyst Jonathan Reiner said the “manic cadence” of President Donald Trump’s White House address raised medical concerns.

One of Dr. Reiner's former patients was the late VP Dick Cheney. IIRC way back when when Cheney either had one of his dozens of heart attacks or was diagnosed with a serious heart ailment early on in Dubya's first term, I believe Reiner operated on him, and he became a go-to press source for politician-related medical stories. Anyway, Oh Johnny, my old friend and classmate, it pains me to say this but that you've let yourself descend to the level of being a flaming asshole paid propagandist with an MD shingle is disgusting and disappointing beyond belief. I'm ashamed and embarrassed for you, and I cannot believe we came up together in the same environment.

Perhaps this story is too personal but it is nevertheless illustrative of the nature of both the media as well as how one's personal politics can cloud any sense of ethics and decency, or more frighteningly that their personal politics and blinkered uninformed worldview gives them a sense of moral superiority that they are justified in doing what they do. Lying is truth telling to them. They have gone full Orwellian 1984. Meh, basta cosi.

Elsewhere, shiver me timbers!!!

Patriots of the Caribbean: Sen. Mike Lee Bill Authorizes Privateers to Combat Cartels Outside U.S. Borders — “The Constitution provides for Letters of Marque and Reprisal as a tool against the enemies of the United States,” Lee said. “Cartels have replaced corsairs in the modern era, but we can still give private American citizens and their businesses a stake in the fight against these murderous foreign criminals. The Cartel Marque and Reprisal Reauthorization act will revive this historic practice to defend our shores and seize cartel assets.”

God forbid the Democrats seize control . . . I can imagine them one day deputizing Antifa goons to use deadly force on suspected conservatives! Nous Somme les deux Charlies maintenant - Kirk et Hebdo .

Heh. I like that. But seriously, I remember a few years back when there was a shooting from a sailor that ended at the local base. During the interview:

Reporter: "What was the name of the person?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
Reporter: "OK, but what was his name?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."
Reporter: "Can I buy a vowel?"
Spokesman: "He was a Navy Corpsman."

And then it came out that he was an African migrant who was a Corpsman. Needless to say, the story was strangled quickly.

126 Could the Portuguese scumbag legally own and purchase firearms? Yes, if:

Federal Requirements
To purchase a firearm from a Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer, a legal permanent resident must:

Not be a "prohibited person": LPRs must meet the same baseline eligibility requirements as U.S. citizens. Prohibitions include, but are not limited to, felony convictions, certain domestic violence misdemeanors, a history of involuntary mental health commitments, or being subject to a protective order.
Complete ATF Form 4473: This required form explicitly confirms the individual's LPR status and requires them to attest to their eligibility under penalty of federal perjury.
Pass a NICS background check: The FFL dealer will submit the information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
Provide identification: LPRs typically need a state-issued driver's license or ID card and their Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551, or "green card") which contains their USCIS, AR, or A number

Some state laws mandate additional info be supplied.

The problem is, Joe Rogan popularized the three hour long format and now hundreds of Influencers are trying to win the coveted position of being the most popular. There are only so many viewable hours in the week and with the multi-hour episodes, the competition is fierce AND GLOBAL.

Its no longer Americans they seek to get (since we are a dwindling market in comparison to everyone else on the planet) but an international market and an up-rise in disenfranchised young men.

160 WTF????

A man suspected of killing two people and wounding nine others at Brown University before going on to kill a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, where he had rented a unit, officials said.

Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national and a former Brown student, was found dead on
Thursday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Providence police chief, Oscar Perez,
said at a news conference. He added that, as far as investigators knew, the suspect had acted alone.

He was allowed to give a speech at TPUSA, and the clips show a frantic, clearly upset Tucker telling his audience that “Islam is good! We should all be friends with Islam! It’s a huge evil conspiracy to say that Islam is an enemy of western civilization!”
And he went on and on about what a joyful peaceful religion Islam is, it was embarrassing to watch him, it was like watching a little monkey in a hat dance while his organ grinder stood just off stage, smiling.
He made it obvious last night that Tucker is no longer America first - he is Qatar first.

This monolithic superstate hasn't yet begun to crumble, but I think we're starting to see the first cracks. They'll be papered over in the next few years, but they will still be there.

I stand by my story - they'll shore it up and increase the pressure on dissent. Maybe they'll even get very violent about that. But a system this blatantly corrupt won't live longer than the people who are teenagers today, and I may well see the regime fall.

My standing prediction is sometime in the late 50s or early 60s.

The fed gov will get worse and worse and the situation will become unbearable by the time boys born ten years from now are coming of age.

We're already separating from the narcissistic scumbags who infect the national GOPe. If these people do us the favor of carving off yet more grifters and psychopaths, and foot the bill no less, then good.

For every one we carve off, that's how many thousands of normal disengaged supporters willing to give the anti-insanity movement a second look.

It's a big tent. And we'll all be smothered by it if we let predators keep hacking away at the poles.

He was allowed to give a speech at TPUSA, and the clips show a frantic, clearly upset Tucker telling his audience that “Islam is good! We should all be friends with Islam! It’s a huge evil conspiracy to say that Islam is an enemy of western civilization!”

And he went on and on about what a joyful peaceful religion Islam is, it was embarrassing to watch him, it was like watching a little monkey in a hat dance while his organ grinder stood just off stage, smiling.

He made it obvious last night that Tucker is no longer America first - he is Qatar first.

And GWB hustled other members of that family out of the US after 9/11 so that they could not be questioned.

Both the Bush family and Clinton bear responsibility for playing footsie with the Saudis post Cold War yet allowing them to spread their evil Wahhabism and terrorists to the US.

The Saudi Royal embassy staffers were involved in the 9/11 plot giving aid and sustenance to the terrorists and the long time ambassador to the US at the time despised Americans. He was an oily prick. He was one of the ones locked up in the hotel after the Las Vegas shootings.

But the legal items, by the letter, become your property.

I mentioned the other day, one of those oil tankers has between $100 and $200 million in oil. And TX has the refineries for the Venezuelan oil.
Then sell the tanker to Exxon; another $15-30 million idk.
Imagine the incentive if that's the prize?

You get a Letter of Marque and defense security contractors will be pounding down your door begging to "work" for you.

Campuses are hostile places for conservatives and people of faith. Neglect by older generations and nostalgic views of a long past liberalism at college don't apply to the reality of colleges today.

Leftist professors harass conservatives in class openly and their flying monkey leftist students join in. They are physically assaulted while the adminstrations do little or nothing, their meetings are interrupted by screaming leftists, adminstrations refuse to pay for speakers from the right while every nasty leftist gets a generous sinecure. Obama and 9/11 took that liberalism and turned it into commie tactics on campus--By Any Means Necessary.

TP was literally a semi safe space where conservative leaning students could meet and talk and act collectively in forcing grudging administration types to recognize them as official student groups which opens the doors to securing free meeting rooms, etc.

If older generations had done their job, colleges would have never become such nasty intolerant places for faithful Christians, Jews, and conservatives.

I think the talk of TPUSA's demise is a bit premature. The number of new chapters and members has exploded since Charlie's murder. The need is still there and there are obviously millions of young people looking for an alternative to the left.

It was bound to be a bit of a messy transition. Charlie was one of a kind and it will take a team to replace him and get back on course but I think the movement will continue in one way or another.

And among their next missions appears to be getting Vance in as 48. That gets huge applause at their meetings whenever it is announced.

No, all Jews are not alike.

Judge Boasberg and Jeffrey Epstein are different from say, JJ Sefton, though they are all Jews.

I don't know why or if TPUSA tried to arrange a Shapiro debate, but Levin did come right out on his show and share the texts with Tucker where TPUSA wanted them to debate.

Then Levin admitted that he is a scared, weak little man and couldn't face Tucker.

Islamic adherents are actually racist themselves--they allow others to join but Arabs and those that can trace their lineage to Mo or his compatriots are the true guardians of Islam. Everyone else is inferior and some sects (Druze, Alawites, Sufi, Shia in Sunni areas and Sunni in Shia areas, etc), are viewed as heretics deserving of the sword just as much as infidels. They look down upon blacks and were quite active slavers back in the day except they ended up killing en masse blacks or making them eunuchs.

I simply do not know. Trump is making an issue of how bad our colleges have gotten and DeSantis in Florida has tried his best to fix his state schools.
But whether these are one off efforts not followed by successors or a sustained campaign, I do not know.

Most GOP governors and state legislatures simply neglect dealing with the noxious and toxic colleges other than tut tutting and taking out an occasional nutjob administrator or professor. Drops in the ocean.

They don't move against DEI on campus (which is the kernel of commie activists in administration and the professorate), they don't fix the rotten system of student funding, allow costs to proliferate, and they spend more time worrying about who is football coach and AD than they do about their academics.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at December 19, 2025 09:10 AM

That's good to hear about the fundraising and GOTV efforts. Good that they are not keeping all the money they raise for themselves like grifting organizations do.

That said, I would guess that the popularity of Charlie Kirk and TPUSA resulted from a consistent message over the years. When an event run by TPUSA invites people like Tucker Carlson and others who do not preach the organization's message, the organization will lose credibility and support.

Also, it seems the "conservative movement", such that it is, seems to always be involved in stupid drama. Steven Crowder, Daily Wire, Tim Pool, Candace Owens and on and on and on. Either these people are ridiculously childish and can't put the movement above their own personal pettiness or... they're grifters doing this for clicks and views and likes.

I have always felt it was the latter with all of these people "on the right". There is no unity. Just a bunch of people with big egos fighting.

Top Story

  • The unfortunately named Paris Buttfield-Addison bought a $500 Apple gift card at a major Australian brick-and-mortar outlet.

    Turns out the card had already been redeemed, and when he tried to redeem it, it was rejected.

    The outlet agreed to provide a replacement gift card, so all was well.

    Then Apple terminated his account and bricked all of his devices. (Hey.Paris)
    My Apple ID, which I have held for around 25 years (it was originally a username, before they had to be email addresses; it's from the iTools era), has been permanently disabled. This isn't just an email address; it is my core digital identity. It holds terabytes of family photos, my entire message history, and is the key to syncing my work across the ecosystem.

    I effectively have over $30,000 worth of previously-active "bricked" hardware. My iPhone, iPad, Watch, and Macs cannot sync, update, or function properly. I have lost access to thousands of dollars in purchased software and media.
    You might be thinking at this point that this guy is an idiot for giving a single company complete control over his personal and work life in this way.

    You would be correct.

6 This had to be expected, but Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, one of the most vocal critics of Apple’s walled garden, pointed out that Apple’s new App Store policies in Japan are still unfair to developers. “They’re charging a competition-crushing 21% junk fee on third-party in-app payments, and 15% for purchases made on the web,” Sweeney posted on X. “They’re imposing a new 5% junk fee on all revenue from apps distributed by competing stores, and intend to surveil all transactions within them using a mandatory reporting API,” the exec continued.

53 Greetings and good morning everyone. The day had an interesting start. I turned Winnie out in the backyard and while she was occupied, I went to my car to put the food for today's party in it.

I get to my car and the motion-activated floodlights were on. OK...maybe it's the local wildlife paying us a visit. Nope. It was Winnie. The gate had been blown open and she was standing around looking puzzled. Thankfully, she came up to me quickly and I got her back in the house.

So padlocks for the gates are on the to-do list.

100 The suspect, a Portuguese man who was found dead on Thursday, entered the country through the diversity lottery immigrant visa programme (DV1) in 2017 and was granted a green card.

The DV1 Program is an abomination to God and Man. Literally.

The world has spent untold billions of dollars in all kinds of psychological, sociological and anthropological studies, experiments and other research.

We know what happens when you have tribes mixing it up.
We know what happens when you inject hostile cultures into an otherwise homogenous one.
We know what happens when you dissolve a sucessfull credal society with those not only outside the camp, but hostile to it.

The idea of "assimilation" demands a Best Case Scenario where the foreign tribe drops their identity and merges with what is to them an alien identity. Except now, we are an Identity nation where it isn't just ethnic and family tribes, but whole new arbitrary and perverted distinctions.

Yet they deliberately set upon a plan that was absolutely guaranteed to weaken a society in many ways - with zero upside except for those who profit from chaos.

149 Couple of things due today:

There has to be a league of Portuguese-Ammericans, largely silent since the days of that one pool table gang rape case, who will speak out on the backlash they're about to suffer. We no doubt have a large hidden reserve of anti-Portuguese bias just waiting to be revealed. 'Watch This Space.'

What would you say the chances are for NCIS: Providence? Young FDR had a scandal there, in 1919.

Homeless Brown Resident Genius just became the new archetype for street people, perhaps deservedly so. I have not been boring you with tales of my homeless employees, but suffice it to say that Bob Dylan (or was it Silliphant, or Genet, or Francois Villon?) wasn't just a-woofin' when he wrote "to live outside the law you must be honest." What a script treatment!

Other Brown Victim will make for a trickier made-for-streaming-TV series, and I wonder if we have the writers any more to deal with it.

I love Susie Wiles: Members of President Trump’s close team met with Vanity Fair at the White House. I don’t know why they did this, but that’s not my job. Among the interviewees was one Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, my instant favorite of the lunch bunch. She said Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality,” and that Elon Musk is an “avowed ketamine [user]” and an “odd, odd duck.” J.D. Vance? That old queen? He’s been a “conspiracy theorist for a decade,” says Suz. Talking to Susie Wiles sounds exactly like talking to about half a dozen older women in my life, like I swear to you if you called my mother-in-law today this what she would say about me. It’s as though all women, at a certain age, converge on an omnipolitics in which there is no left and right, there are only odd ducks, kooks, out-to-lunchers, and real sick puppies.

Man Dies of Rabies After Receiving Kidney from Organ Donor Scratched by a Skunk

In what the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) called “an extremely rare event,” an adult Michigan man became infected with rabies following a kidney transplant. According to a CDC report, the man received a left kidney from a deceased donor in Idaho in December 2024. The procedure went perfectly, and the patient made a full recovery, but just over five weeks later, he started experiencing worrying symptoms.

The unnamed kidney recipient first started experiencing tremors, leg weakness, confusion, and urinary incontinence, but things only got worse. Within days, he was hospitalized with fever, difficulty swallowing, signs of hydrophobia, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. He soon had to be mechanically ventilated because he couldn’t breathe by himself, and died a week into his hospitalization.

That's what federal and state officials discussed recently during a meeting hosted by Utah's Public Lands Coordinating Council. At this meeting, officials revisited the idea of implementing timed entry systems at Zion and Arches National Parks to manage congestion during peak travel seasons.

While state leaders have expressed hesitation about expanding timed entry—particularly at Zion—a former NPS superintendent argues that some form of reservation system is becoming unavoidable as park crowds continue to surge.

One week until Christmas. Have you watched many Christmas movies yet? You're probably aware of the "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?" debate. But how about "Is Home Alone a Christian movie?"

Annual reminder that Home Alone is a Christian movie.

Watch this scene very carefully, where Kevin is drawn to the beauty and warmth of the church.

As he walks inside to "O Holy Night", he hears the words "Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!"

A sanctuary candle passes across the foreground, indicating that Christ is present inside the church.

Kevin then has an encounter with a Christ figure: Old Man Marley. Kevin makes a confession to him, then shakes his hand and we see a bandage on Marley's hand.

It's never explained why his hand is wounded, but earlier in the movie we saw that his hand was actually pierced ALL THE WAY THROUGH — like the nails driven through Christ's hands on the cross.

At the end of the movie, Kevin cannot save himself from the burglars, and so Marley appears again to rescue him.

Home Alone is a Christian movie.

64 Home Alone is one of the all-time great Christmas movies, but I wouldn't call it explicitly Christian. It's more about the culture of Christmas celebrations in America in the 80s/90s.

That said, while my favorite part of the movie as a kid was Kevin booby-trapping the burglars, today I would watch it just for the church scene.

Rest assured, I will be fine after my new meds. The stomach bug I had last month caused me to end up with colitis. I still can't eat solid food without getting ill, so I will be getting some nutritional shakes.

111 Adam Purple was an activist and the builder of a "guerilla garden" on the Lower East Side at Forsyth Street. The city had taken down a block of brownstones and just left the rubble.He and his followers cleared the land and built a 15,000 sq. ft. garden. The city eventually wanted the land to develop and he fought them for years. Eventually, the city won.
His followers had stamps made of purple feet and these little purple feet were all over Manhattan, all leading toward the garden site. Maybe millions of them. I walked across town alot in those days and the footprints were everywhere until they wore out. Purple and his wife Eve rode tricyles with a trailer to Central Park to collect horse droppings for the garden on the bridle trail.

The guy would have got away if they had explained which was "the right" door out of the hallway.

"Have you watched many Christmas movies yet?"

On Tuesday, we went to the theater for a big-screen showing of Scrooged. Our group of five had the theater to ourselves, alas. Would have been more fun with more people. Only problem was, the audio was poor. After the movie, we mentioned this, and an employee told us that theater had a blown speaker and he would turn up the volume for the later showing. Did not offer us a refund or free popcorn.

It was okay. Had most of the dialogue memorized. Surprised that, even after mostly annual viewings, there were parts that were still moving.

First saw Scrooged in its first run in a crowded Chicago theater. Appreciative audience.

You remember that news guy infamous for shouting "stop the hammering"? Realized Frank Cross (Bill Murray) did it first.

437 So, here's a theory (hard to prove with guy dead, but here goes)...

Guy felt wronged in some way that he was not the Physics Wunderkind that the MIT guy became - aka, that guy stole his life.

So, 1st, he goes to Brown to get revenge on the school that forced him off the path = grades, whatever - and picks the classroom where it all went wrong

Then he drives up to MIT and actually murders the guy he thinks stole his life.

Very narcisstic and almost delusional, but would fit a motive to both shootings.

And the big promotion and adulation MIT guy recently got set it all in motion...maybe as early as when MIT guy was in the running...

And yeah, that is with the Free Pass us Vets are supposed to get. If you don't plan weeks in advance? don't bother.

Even 10 years ago, as I live 2 hours away, if it was a nice day I could throw the bicycle on the car, and go and enjoy the park... not anymore.

Posted by: Romeo13 at December 18, 2025 10:28 PM (mP0Kj)

You only need reservations if you're using the campsites, otherwise you just pay the entrance fee. And Vets can get a pass that waives the entrance fee entirely.

Sure the campsites are busy because it's a crowded park, but if you live near enough just go for the day and head home.

274 236 >>Who told this asswipe where Ella was?

>>That is MURDER.

Starting to sound like the real target was the MIT professor.
......

Yes. And some sort of anger at, I assume, being kicked out of the Brown program he did not finish.

I read (briefly) that the MIT professor got some sort of promotion and maybe that set him off. Since they went to the Portugal univeristy together and came to the USA for grad school on student visas in 2000. By 2001 this jerk was no longer at Brown, reasons tonight unknown.

Obviously an unhinged, narcissistic sociopath with a long grudge.

What got me was how the entire state and Brown University are in denial that "they" caught him. When RING and rental car video did, thanks to the homeless guy. The President is nervous, as she should be, for the lack of cameras in that building.

None - the ultimate target of the rampage was probably the MIT prof. 1st, he got even with the school that ruined his life...then he got even with the person who stole his life (maybe he even thought the MIT guy stole his Physics ideas).

295 She confirmed that both individuals attended same academic program from 1995 to 2000.
Posted by: rhennigantx at December 18, 2025 11:13 PM (gbOdA)

Same academic program in Portugal with those dates. Came to grad school in the USA under student visas in 2000. The shooter dropped out of Brown in 2001 (or was kicked out). Moved to Miami.Applied for and got a Green card in Sept 2017.

Came back to Boston in October of this year. Rented a car in Boston and changed plates often. Got into the physics building at Brown, that staff have complained about randos doing without ID, and had an altercation with the witness (the homeless guy?) in the bathroom. He later followed him to his car and got the car ID.

After the Brown shooting he returned to Boston and killed his fellow Portugal classmate in his home. Had rented the storage unit for months in NH.

The RI police/FBI did not have his name til last night. He was dead when they got to the storage unit...it took time to ID his finances last night as he was smart enough to have a certain possible European Sim card that they could not track easily.

Not to be dismissive of Ella but there was another person shot and killed at Brown. A young man who was a brain cancer survivor. Why him? Maybe she was just another innocent victim.

The killer and the MIT professor must have known each other for years. There is nothing to suggest the killer and Ella knew each other.

Overstayed and then eventually got permanent residency in 2017. Or that's the current story.

I imagine his life after Brown was a lot of minimum wage under-the-table jobs in Florida, with no marriage and lots of drudgery...and then he finds out his friend is up for a huge job promotion...and the plotting starts...

Amazing how easy it is to make up a story entirely in your head before there's barely even been any investigation so you can then claim there's already a cover up once the investigation does finish.

They had one album and one EP, so they were short-lived in the studio. But they've done a few reunion concerts, so they've been active on and off for 13 years.

IF she was shot 10 times I don't know why. That is, so far, rumor. Don't know, but horrific to think about for her parents.

Also it is still unknown what he was in Miami, if he had a family.If he was a homo, commie,etc. If he hated Jews, etc. More to come as FL is now involved.FL won't lie.

Regarding the Charlie Kirk murder, unless rhennigantx is listening to Candace Owens, it was plain from the first day why the killer killed him. Due to Kirk's feelings about gays and trannies...and, now, as we know: furries. Buck Tooth Trannie wants to be a martyr for their cause. Kirk was killed for his freedom of speech.
It was known for weeks or more about his schedule and this ugly faggot planned it out.

He thought he was brilliant and could get away with it. Turns out his own parents recognized his ugly face and confronted him and he confessed to them and local LE. He was caught in 33hrs if memory serves, vs this mess in RI and fuzzy RING camera footage.

He only had an overstayed student visa...if you aren't legal, what can you be working? And he had no US degree - it was all international, at a time whe Physics degrees (post Clinton admin) were already kinda worthless.

I'm betting he did live a life he considered much beneath his academic pedigree...and thus the snapping seeing a happy, well-adjusted and married guy was effectively him and had everything he should have had...

Posted by: Gref

Led Zep was originally called The New Yardbirds.
Posted by: Doof


One Yardbird, Page, moved on to Led Zep.

Two others left and started another band. They couldn't find a comparable lead guitarist after playing with Page, Beck, and Clapton..... go figure.

353 @336...wasn't that hard as there is an amphitheater on campus and that's where Charlie was seated. Not Jews.

I can see a critcal look at this mess at Brown and MIT, but I have followed the Kirk murder and local news since it happened. It was not a conspiracy and his own wife says the same.

I listened to the RI press conference and part of the MA one. Once the President of Brown said he was on a student visa from Portugal it clicked. Until then it was all over the place on wth happened.

The furry had been a hunter since he was a child. He took his grandfather's old rifle as he figured forensics could not trace it to him. He wanted his furry lover to be impressed, along with the furry friends. A gamer. Full scholarship to college (Utah State) and dropped out after one semester.

Ususally when this happens it is because they can't fit in or have issues living away from him (gamer). He thought he was the most brilliant person in the room type of nerd. Planned it out. Unfortunately his face was identified and his parents saw him and confronted him that night.

Kirk's talk of gheys triggered him and his furry friends. It is as simple as that. He thinks he will get off. I doubt it.

The Brown University shooter, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente entered the United States through the diversity lottery immigrant visa program (DV1) in 2017 and was granted a green card. This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country.

In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people.

At President Trump’s direction, I am immediately directing USCIS to pause the DV1 program to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program

Think of how many are here, originally on student visas, then green cards (as this jerk was from 2017). His student visa lasted a whopping year then he left.

We'll know more from FL as to his "religion" and state of mind. It sounds like he hated that he failed to achieve what the MIT professor friend from Portugal did. The question also remains as to why he left Brown in 2001.

How brave of them. Like Parkland in FL where they were too scared to enter the building. And Boss Hogg was riding his bike to the scene! GAH

There is nothing on earth that scares me like school shootings. Since Columbine when my sons were in HS. I pray daily for our grands' wall of protection and good health.

This Portuguese bastard fired 40 rounds in that classroom. Which, according to the press asking the liberal President of Brown, was not only without cameras but had no security at the doors entering the building and staff complained. Most doors you need an ID badge. Any random person could walk in and did. It was a physics building and he was familiar with it from 2000-2001.

It took her, however, to put the pieces together. Until then people had no idea of the connection with this Miami guy and Brown. She had a nervous tic throughout the conference. The RI governor kept interrupting to say stuff.

Now I wait for real information from Florida. Where he worked. Ghey or married? Religion. Politics. He was here still on a green card since 2017.

I can relate a story that may shed light on the source of the cookie problem.
My uncle decided that he was going to make donut drops - donut batter deep fried but without the toroidal shape.
They came out with the symptom you describe: hard as rocks.
Turns out that he followed the recipe, except for one detail - he didn't realize that there is a difference between baking powder and baking soda.
Inexperienced bakers in both instances.😋

425 This is why we take our kids winter camping.

It’s cold and wet. But it’s a freaking BLAST and you figure out how to eat and drink and sleep warm. And celebrate!

I have camping stuff and a wood burning fireplace. And food and water to last a month. Plus.

I have the ability to take things forcefully from my neighbors if need be.

Doof and toby tag-teamed a definition earlier:

I define a Super Group as a relatively short lived collection of musicians who were already famous for being in other bands.

My sister and hubby's son are both in your area, though not Seattle Proper. They are ok and have no damage at their homes. *Whew*

Just driving through a few streets in town, I've seen dozens of downed trees (mostly evergreens), large broken branches and damaged homes.

Yeah, I can "chip away" at Dad's tree for a while, hope to get a break on the price if I can remove enough on my own. May be months before tree service can get to it.

I called out to work and went outside and found a couple neighbors out there. Scratching their heads. Hmmmm.

A couple guys got out various sizes of chainsaws, I got my loppers and we got to work. More folks showed up and we had hot coffee and campstove fired up and breakfast burritos in no time.

Took us half a day and we cleared our street amd stacked a shitton of wood.

I will take a recip saw to some branches maybe, but none that would cause it to roll. The trunk is a couple feet above ground due to the rootball being pulled up. Trunk diameter is about 3ft.

You gotta know your limitations, true.
Start with the branches and then move down from the top.

In 2020 we had a bunch of trees that came down with the root-ball ripped up out of the earth, and my wife had me cut them at the trunk-end first because she wanted to watch the stump stand back up on its own.

This past fall, Brown's new policy began admitting foreign students on what they called "Need‑Blind Admissions." It means that a student's ability to pay isn't considered in deciding whether they're admitted. Their costs will be covered 100%, and they will have money put into an account for spending.

488 Jimmy Steward of Its a Wonderful Life fame, was for real. He joined the Army Air Corps in Feb 1941 as he saw war coming. He holds the record for fastest advance in rank from Private E1 to full Bird Colonel in 4 years. He flew B24s on multiple combat bombing missions in WW2. In the 1950s he landed a B-58 Hustler - a plane so difficult to land that only the very best Air Force pilots were allowed to fly them. Their high landing speed meant that the smallest error on approach would turn the plane into a large lawn dart. He also flew B-52s, and flew as an observer during an Arc Light B-52 bombing raid in Vietnam. He retired as a Brigadier General; the highest military rank ever achieved by an actor.

He was reportedly only at Brown 2000-2001, which isn't long enough to get a master's. That typically takes two years, and students are typically admitted to doctoral programs with just their bachelor's. They (again, typically) do their graduate studies at the institution they plan to do their research at, which is why master's degrees are sometimes called (unfairly IMO) a "consolation prize" for "failed" doctoral students.

I usually agree, but my lady cat rocks the collar and tie bit I have. And that doesn't bother her a lot.

Pet strollers for cats actually make some sense as the cat can't slip a leash and flee and hide if something scares it. It isn't like most cat walks exercise the cat physically much since they sniff every bush as they go.

Trump nominated him at first to run NASA; then for some reason Trump changed his mind, dropped him, and that’s about when Elon quit Doge and got all pissed off and said he would start a third party.
Well that fizzled, and Trump reconsidered, and he changed his mind on Isaacman again and called him back; and now Elon and Trump are all buddy buddy and best friends again.

Unfortunately that is the majority of dogs in shelters. I know a guy, though, if you are serious about a rescue. He normally rescues Shibas from breeder auctions, puppy mills, etc. but he has also saved basset hounds, and blood hounds, beagles. You will have to speak with him, pass his background checks etc. If you don’t have experience with Shibas, he probably won’t place one with you - they are difficult dogs and truly not for everyone.

Posted by: Oldcat at December 18

That is insane. I don’t have an issue with people buying a pure bred anything- if you want to know what you are getting and there are certain traits you desire, a pure breed is how you get there. But I am adamantly opposed to puppy mills and back yard breeders. If you want a specific dog, make sure you are getting the best version, even pet quality, from an ethical breeder. You will pay more, you will have to wait because ethical breeders have waitlists and litters are sold before the breeding. But the dogs will be health tested, the parents will have proven themselves, and you will be getting from someone who truly is invested in protecting their breed.

227 I have two Belgian Malinois neighbors - lovely animals but in no way are they suitable for their elderly owners. They are locked in a fenced in back yard much of the day and get very very little exercise. The owners don't play, walk or work them. Sometimes when I'm outside, the dogs will jump the fencing and come on over. I play with them until I'm tired and run them down to the ravine for 30 minutes or so but they need much, much more.

If I throw sticks for them, they'll drag back a tree and then just look at me.

231 POLICE STOOD OUTSIDE WHILE BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTER ESCAPED

While students screamed and victims lay shot, Providence cops stood outside deciding where to park.

Their radio chatter sounds like a bad improv skit.

One officer talked about needing a day off. Another didn’t even know what building they were at.

Meanwhile, no one had info on the shooter, and no one was rushing in.

The suspect eventually slipped away. 10 were shot. 2 died.

Brown University and the police failed, and now families are furious. And rightfully so!

It wasn’t just chaos. It was incompetence with a badge, and the price was paid in blood.

When I got my first siamese, the lady i bought him from had three queens that had dropped litters. She brought them in a laundry basket while I sat on her couch. She began putting them in my lap by the hands full. They all took shameless advantage of the momentary freedom and zommied off. Except one. He rolled on his back, presented tummy, and meowed at me for some scritches. Brought him home. Sweet sweet little cat. Never had another one as sweet as him. Aboit ten years later our other cat died and he was mourning badly somwe got another kitten. Siamese again. I sat on the floor of an open outdoor play space whike the six kittens zoomied around. The papa cat came over and sat with me, then the momma did too. One by each the babies came by and one chose me. We took him home.

I miss them both even twenty years later.

The Feds said they did know who he is by interviewing witnesses (shocker!) and they tracked him down.

MegaRoy was adopted from a service. He was bigger than the others, so people didn't want him. He's a good boy.

Splotchy chowed up one day eat___ the chipmonks and squirrels i had been shooting off the bird feeder with the pellet gun. All scrawny and starved. He broke into the crawl space and started living on the hvac for warmth. We fed him real food regular like and a year later he let Smash pet him. Two weeks after that he moved in. Maybe 10 or 11 when he chose us. Nice good kitty. All he wanted was regular chow, a warm place to sleep, and a cuddle with scritches. He had a vey nice rest of his life.

If i get lonely enough, i'll get another senior kitty to love that has been abandoned by his family. I just cannot guarantee a kitten a full life of his due to my own age now.

277 the shelter was leery of letting me adopt a black cat in September, but I had been in a couple of times, and I brought my wife in the second and third times . . . and about half the cats they had at the time were black, and I wanted an older cat, not a kitten.
I like alley type cats, so I wound up with a niebelung rescue, a Bombay rescue and what looks like a Maine Coon rescue. I have two torties too, so I suppose I got what showed up.

I want to figure out who the nerd glasses guy is.

So, to be clear, they had blurry video yesterday and no idea who they were after. A homeless guy figured it out (the homeless guy was the hoody guy, I think).

They had NOTHING. Today they are proud. They should be embarrassed that they had no real film of the building. Good thing I am not a parent with kids there.

No mention of WHY this guy was there to shoot Ella in THAT classroom.

What happened to MIT professor? No connection now?

Oooh, distractions and critism not helpful. Yada.

Good policework prevailed. Right. No clue you had til a homeless guy.

I have my doubts until it is explained what a Portuguese guy from Miami was doing in this classroom. Please explain.

Oh, lawsie. The liberal president now congratulating, bringing safety, bringing closure and relief. Oooh, Mustafa was picked on. Yada. Liberal swishing.

Yes, we would like to know something. Ah...enrolled from 2000 to PhD program in physics. Finally a connection. Withdrew 2023. Only in physics classes in the rotting building without cameras.

For reasons unknown he unloaded 40 rounds on this classroom and poor Ella.

He is ahead of his skis he said and breadcrumbs developing. Regal governor butting in a lot.

His storage area. Rented car in Boston. Inside the storage unit. blah. There is a connection to MIT professor. FLew into Providence in October or they don't know. Governor keeps taking over.

436 Governor interrupting again.

1) Over stayed student visa from 2000. Last class 2001 at Brown.
2) From Miami. Changed plates on car frequently
3) I am confused about car, as they claim he rented in in Boston. Maybe when he came in October as he is in a short sleeve green polo shirt.
4) He and MIT physics professor went to the same university in Portugal. MIT professor obviously finished school unlike this guy.
5) Over stayed visa by over 20yrs. Applied for green card in 2017 and received "permanent resident status" in September 2017
6) Not staying why he left school in 2001 but "they will find out"
7) I think a random guy, not a student, the homeless guy? had a dispute with him in a restroom. He knew he did not belong in the building with no cameras (which the President defends).
They admit that RING and car rental videos alone helped identify the shooter
9) The green card guy got a weapon. I guess legally? Non comprende.
10) Governor spends a lot of time butting in. Name not known til yesterday and track the car. They decided not to give his name out today.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at December 18, 2025 10:40 PM (WONhk)

437 So, here's a theory (hard to prove with guy dead, but here goes)...

Guy felt wronged in some way that he was not the Physics Wunderkind that the MIT guy became - aka, that guy stole his life.

So, 1st, he goes to Brown to get revenge on the school that forced him off the path = grades, whatever - and picks the classroom where it all went wrong

Then he drives up to MIT and actually murders the guy he thinks stole his life.

Very narcisstic and almost delusional, but would fit a motive to both shootings.

And the big promotion and adulation MIT guy recently got set it all in motion...maybe as early as when MIT guy was in the running...

Shots were fired at a Christmas event in Chicama, a town in northern Peru, local media reported. Many families and children were present at the public celebration when the incident happened.

Police said the shooting started suddenly. People ran to protect themselves as officers rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control.

Early reports say a local councilwoman may have been the target, but officials have not confirmed this. Several children were reported injured.

143 "police chief leading the investigation into the Brown shooting has a nephew who was recently sentenced to 22 years in prison for running a fentanyl ring in Rhode Island as his uncle was rising through the ranks of the police department."

I have three nephews that are all leftist retards, and six "grand-nieces" that will probably be raised as Karens. But indeed, for leftists, they tend to follow the tribe.

I do have a little hope that the four nieces of the "Christian Home Schooled" nephew will perhaps be influenced enough by their fellow home schoolers to have a chance at not being sold out to the leftist cult, but since they are all female, the odds are reduced.

DOJ Eyes Civil Rights Action Against Biden Officials Who Weaponized Government Power to Punish Political Enemies

Head of the Office of Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, said that the raid on Mar-a-Lago, made without probable cause, might have been a criminal act.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Just the News on Wednesday that federal and local officials involved in the prosecutions of President Donald Trump may face legal action if the Department of Justice identifies a conspiracy to deprive him or his followers of his civil rights.

"The Department of Justice is at the heart of considering these issues right now, so I can't really talk about the specifics, but in general terms, yes," she said on the Just the News, No Noise television show.

"The Civil Rights Division and the DOJ generally do have the tool of a criminal conspiracy statute for conspiracy against rights, and this dates back to the start of the Ku Klux Klan, and when the Klan and its predecessors used to go after people, and they could involve, sometimes local law enforcement to do that," she said. "And so we have the ability, if we can prove a conspiracy to violate someone's civil rights, that that could be a criminal matter."

...

"That also goes for lawyers who leak and betray confidence as a breach of privilege, and for people who violate their oath as attorneys, they could also face bar sanctions if there's a bar referral after an investigation like that," Dhillon explained.

"So, I would say all of those things are on the table for lawyers and DOJ officials and others who conspired with them at the state level, state prosecutors, state police and so forth, who conspired to violate civil rights. And it could also include executive branch officials from the first administration who knowingly conspired and orchestrated a violation of federal civil rights."

The four Republicans who signed on Wednesday morning and pushed it to 218 were Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., and Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa.

All four of them represent competitive districts that could make or break the GOP's narrow House majority. Democrats have been slamming each of them as complicit in the impending lapse of the funding, which first passed in 2021 under President Joe Biden in a bid to cap premiums for "benchmark" plans at 8.5% of income. ...

"House leadership then decided to reject every single one of these amendments," Fitzpatrick said. "As I've stated many times before, the only policy that is worse than a clean three-year extension without any reforms, is a policy of complete expiration without any bridge. Unfortunately, it is House leadership themselves that have forced this outcome."

It's possible this was Failure Theater from Johnson.

Update: I assume this is the car rented by the shooter, found abandoned in New Hampshire.

“To give you an answer that will not satisfy your curiosity, I will tell you, we, perhaps to our damage, but we strongly and rightly believed that there should be an absolute separation between what we wanted as an administration and what the Department of Justice did. We absolutely adhered to that and it was right to do that.

The Justice Department would make its decisions independent of any political or personal vendetta or or concern that we may have and that’s the way it worked."

"They have not found; but they are on the track."

"Yes, that the usual phrase; I am quite familiar with it. When the police is at fault, it declares that it is on the track; and the government patiently awaits the day when it comes to say, with a sneaking air, that the track is lost."

Doesn’t matter if the shooter isn’t Mustapha. The reason why Brown deleted their promotion of Mustapha is because he is evidence the university is in violation of their settlement with the Trump admin.

The fact that @BrownUniversity spent more time covering up for a Muslim foreign born student employee than time they spent actually looking for the shooter shows that Brown is more focused on keeping their federal funding than getting justice for victims who were murdered on their liberal campus

Posted by: runner


President Trump issued an executive order Thursday declaring Christmas Eve and Dec. 26 as federal holidays this year.

The order will result in federal agencies being closed and employees excused from duty, next Wednesday through Friday, as Christmas Day is already a federal holiday. Trump noted, though, that agency heads “may determine that certain offices and installations of their organizations, or parts thereof, must remain open and that certain employees must report for duty” on Dec. 24 or 26.

That is who I really want punished at the moment - judges who agree to this sort of lame brained shit. ASNY judge should have looked at the request and demanded some sort of overwhelming proof of a crime prior to signing it.

261 I don't want to sound judgmental but everyone 'saying nothing will happen' sound like a bunch of pisspants.

Its logical and though black-pill leaning is mathematically sound position to take:

Happiness = Reality ÷ Expectations

Such where your happiness is multiplied by having low expectations. Of course, zero expectations is true black pilling and creates the divide by zero effect on life.

So Trump and Harmeet should go through the motions and we should at least have a > 0 Expectation denominator.

265 I thought the idea of this stew was to toss whatever the hunters managed to bag into the pot, and keep adding vegs at intervals to make it an infinite stew pot. The meat used to be game meat...so unless someone shot Bessie, no beef.

Posted by: Oldcat at December 18, 2025 07:38 PM (8avO+)

I honestly don't know all the ingredients, but it sure tasted beefy to me.

They can't sell game meat in restaurants so I'm sure it wasn't venison.

Updates on Brown Shooter: Federal LE, Not the Bumbling State and City LE, Identified the Suspect; the Person of Interest "In Proximity" to the Shooter Is a Homeless Man Who Provided Details About Killer

i didn't think the witness would be able to add much here. The shooter was wearing his Covid Coward Crime mask, after all.

But Jordan Schachtel's sources say he helped identify the shooter.

Note it's federal agents who cracked the case, not the bumbling Brown security officials or the multicultural disaster of the Providence PD.

@JordanSchachtel

1h

Hearing from govt sources that there is a major breakthrough in the Brown shooting case and a person of interest has been ID'd by federal law enforcement. Apparently it's NOT the Hamas encampment leader Mr Mustapha. Nobody has been ruled out but they have a hard ID on one person.

Local news reports that LE is also investigating any connections btwn the Brown incident and the targeted killing of an MIT professor two days later an hour down the road.

Sources believe the Brown attack was not targeted, though the MIT incident clearly was. Very strange.

Compilation of sources and reports say: the "person of interest" is reportedly a homeless guy who lives in the area, but he provided critical info on the shooter. Police have a DNA match and there should be news re arrest very soon on this front.

@JordanSchachtel

5m

The shelter-in-place order for Brown University was lifted on Saturday. That same day, just an hour down the road, the suspect on the loose reportedly murdered renowned MIT prof Nuno Loureiro.

I don't know how the president of Brown stays in office after this tragic debacle.

Update: Car rented by Brown shooter also seen near slain MIT professor. Or at least a car of the same make and model (and one assumes, color, which is a good bet because every stupid car is silver now).


BTW, college "journalists" sure know how to frame a story:

A masculine woman who either had her boobies removed in revenge of being born wrong, or has them wrapped down. From the size of her girth she should have something. At the very least, moobs.

Fat ole thighs. Mean eyes. Possibly born female.

† Rockford claimed the gold Camaro was supposed to be a very common Gray Man car for that area that just happened to have some level of performance.

93 We almost had a tragic shooting back in 2018 at the university where I work.

It was actually one of our campus cops who was able to intervene and capture the would-be shooter before he could go on a rampage. A student tipped him off, I think, and he followed up and discovered the would-be shooter had several firearms, hundreds of rounds, and was gearing himself up to enact his plan when he was caught.

I sat on the grand jury for that case. He was clearly a very troubled man, possibly schizophrenic.

We had to commute during the Civil War times to another city and stay in a motel for two nights. Four of us friends sort of studying but wondering why. Stressful. Hysterical laughter when not having stomach pain.

Two day exam. The proctors told hundreds of us in this old college classroom to not look up. Pencils ready. Go!

One obese proctor slipped on the old oak floor behind me. She could have been quite dead, but no student nurse raised their heads to see or much care. She landed with quite the loud thud and vibration.

Later, several of my classmates asked if I tripped her, which is how much they thought of me. I did not!

I did well on the boards, which were not really a test of my vast knowledge as I scored the highest in psych, which I hated and never understood.

282 Universities bring a lot of people to a city and a lot of high-paying jobs (especially thanks to the government bankrolling the universities with the student load takeover). Hence, any prestigious university is a concern of local politics.

I think this is where universities get off treating the campus as a quasi-jurisdiction. And cops know that the politicians above them are going to cater to the universities. So, the cops that play along are going to get campus cases.

I learned my combat skills with my brother, who was two years younger. I stopped fighting him when he hit puberty and was stronger than me. We fought over the remote control, otherwise were buddies. No hitting or fists, but other combat was fine.

I have fast reflexes due to combat with him. Did not hesitate to try to kill a frat boy who goosed me in college. I said within a second, "You bastard!" at the top of my lungs and chased him near a public park for 50'. At the time I did not cuss much, so it was an instant reflex.He ran faster than me or I would have pounded his head on the concrete.

Australian Counter-Terrorism Police Ram a Vehicle Containing Five Islamic Men Heading Towards Site of Sunday's Hannukah Slaughter

Authorities believe two cars loaded with Islamic men were headed to the scene of the Hannukah slaughter to commit further terroristic violence.

They rammed the car because, it is reported, they believed they had to stop the car immediately.


An unmarked police car rammed a vehicle carrying a group of men believed to be travelling towards Bondi beach, possibly planning a "violent act".

New South Wales police said there was no connection between the counterterrorism operation and the investigation into the Bondi terror attack on Sunday, in which a father and son opened fire on Chanukkah celebrations, leaving 15 dead.

No connection, huh? None at all?

You're ready to declare that so soon?

Well, that's standard practice in Australia now. One of their top "journalists" declared that the attack on a Hannukah celebration, attended by Jews, by a pair of bearded Muslim men "had nothing to do with religion."

nothingtodowithreligion.jpg

The Super-Karen "journalist" is full of "facts" that she knows without any need for investigation.

The ABC's global affairs editor has sparked controversy by claiming Sunday's deadly attack on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach had 'nothing to do with religion'.

Speaking on the ABC Politics Now podcast on Tuesday, veteran reporter Laura Tingle insisted the terrorists' actions were unrelated to their faith.

Her comments came despite mounting reports Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, specifically targeted the Jewish celebration, and that homemade Islamic State flags were found in their silver hatchback.

The ABC itself reported that Naveed had previously been investigated by ASIO in 2019 over alleged links to an ISIS cell in Sydney.

Podcast host Patricia Karvelas said the pair 'absolutely are radicalised... they were targeting Jews. It is antisemitic, but we are ascribing all sorts of things, right?'

Tingle hit back: 'Their actions are not based on their religion'.

The veteran journalist also dismissed claims by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Australia was targeted for recognising Palestine.

'I don't think that really stacks up,' she said.

'I can't quite see how recognising Palestine leads to greater antisemitism, because if you think about it, it reduces the anger in the pro-Palestinian lobby I would have thought, and thus should actually reduce the temperature.'

Uh-huh. Either that or it convinces they that their low-level insurgency is a winning strategy, given the cowardly appeasement offered to them, and encourages them to ramp the jihad up still further.

Either/or.

An ABC spokeswoman defended Tingle, saying her role is to provide analysis.

'Laura Tingle is a senior and highly experienced journalist whose role as ABC Global Affairs Editor includes providing her assessment and analysis,' she said.

'The conversation on the podcast concerned terrorism and radicalisation and the comment was about separating religion from radicalisation.'

The two terrorists had ISIS flags -- Islamic State flags, that is.

Nothing to do with religion, huh? The actual terrorists say different.



Heavily-armed tactical officers in an unmarked police Land Cruiser drove into a white Hyundai hatchback carrying several men who were travelling from Melbourne in the direction of Bondi beach, local media said.

Police said tactical operations officers had contained two cars in the Sydney suburb of Liverpool after a tip-off that a "violent act was possibly being planned". Seven men were detained.

43 I think the way their "reasoning" goes is that Islam is a foreign religion, and they can only conceive of religions as a proxy for race and ethnicity and not as a set of beliefs and prescriptions with real world outcomes when observed. Brown races like Islam are equal to white races - and by equal to white races I mean more exotic and therefore better - so therefore drawing commonalities and observing statistics about the behavior of brown races is "racist." "Racism" is the worst sin one can commit and the actual murders on Bondi Beach are minor when compared with people thinking unapproved racist thoughts about these brown races.

Speaking of gaslighting...

Do you know what the new trend is now?
Tik Tok goblins pretending to "leave MAGA."

They throw a red shirt, any red shirt they own or can get their hands on, because they think wearing red adds authenticity. And they tell their little story of fake "leaving MAGA."

104 Allow me to interpret -- It has *everything* to do with religion, and the scares the shit out of them because it means that we, the West, have to abandon our core principles of freedom and equality and BAN islam -- their people, buildings, money, books, and cursed religion.

Freedom of conscience, speech, and religion can not apply to those who want to kill us. It only works in a homogeneous Western people.

I agree actually. A society cannot function with a significant portion of its inhabitants being vicious killers and thieves. Either it will fall and a civil war takes care of the carnage required for a new equilibrium or the invaders are expelled, lock, stock, and barrel.

Abraham Lincoln in his house divided speech was discussing slavery. In this case, we are discussing dhimmitude for the majority so that the minority can go unpunished for its actions.

243 White liberal women do not respect the males around them in Western society so they seek the dangerous in other cultures just like some women have a thing for criminals.

There was an experiment where men having the usual friction in a relationship with their women folk were advised to be total cucks and back down to avoid any altercations or arguments.

The women ended up totally disrespecting the men and the relationships deteriorated into a pure abusive relationships where the women despised the men.

On the other side is the spectrum is guys who regularly decorate their women with cuts and bruises.

There is no middle ground. The successful relationship exists when its founded on Biblical Principles with both sides loving God more than they love their mates.

Relationships outside of that, the couple are usually lying or its a unicorn and needs to be captured and studied.

And unless every Western nation deports and bans every Muslim and Third World alien from their country, this will only get worse and worse until Islam has conquered the West.

Considering no one in a position of power in any Western nation has even identified the fact that Islam is the enemy of civilization, the West - including the USA - is well on its way to being conquered.

This is THE only issue that matters for the future of the West. Recognizing that Islam is evil -- akin to Naziism, if not worse -- and must be removed from every western nation.

278 Everyone knows these Muslims mercilessly murdering Jews WAS "religious". But Tingle thinks her "Authoriteee" has the power to convince the troglodytes that 2+2=5.

And yeah, Islam is "political" but imo, it IS also a "religion" since they are committed to the death to their (cult like) beliefs in some higher power.

PERHAPS those at the top only care about the power, idk, but most of them believe in those 72 virgins and their "divine right" to slaughter and rape "infidels".

London is now an Islamic city and the priority of politicians there is not to protect their citizens from crime and rape and murder, but to protect them from... Andrew Tate.

Every time I watch one of Paul Joseph Watson's videos about the Islamic conquest of Europe, it's an overwhelming feeling of anger and depression. Because the same attitudes that allowed it to happen in Europe exist here in the USA and are allowing it to happen here.

Tingle. You KNOW she's been picked on/bullied all of her life and is now striking out at all of us with her big glasses. And gas baggery defense of eeslam.

I can't speak for this nitwit, but I would have changed my name. I was born with an upper crust British surname, that is in the Domesday book. I am that fancy. I married a Polish guy whose last name has the same number of letters. Had I hypenated it, well, my poor children (whom I stuck with long and traditional first names). It would have sounded like the discovery of a bacteria. Hello! Call me all my names, but at least it is not Tingle!

Plus, her outfit is retarded and rather pitiful for me to take her seriously at all. It gets on my nerves; that I must have inherited from my grandmother who could make sew evening gowns and suits from simply looking at them.

Maybe a random jihadist took pity on her and she loves them, until she doesn't.

I'm on a roll today, so another hobbyhorse:

Islam is a slave religion. The purpose was to convert and dominate large conquered populations. They then send money upstream to their conquerors by various means, but their main purpose is their slave labor - more conquest.

Conquest at the time, as now, was about removing all assets, creating territory to siphon off taxes, and having increased military for more conquest. Islam does all that but it does it by convincing the conquered that it is a "religion" and that they will receive their reward .... later, after they are dead.

They are all slaves doing slave labor. Their ancestors were either conquered, or raped, or forced to convert. They are a massive races of conquered slaves destroying the world.

They understand it perfectly, because they share the same goal of the destruction of Western Civilization. Allowing the goat-fucking mohammedan savages freedom to destroy accomplishes their goals as well, without the commie cocksuckers having to lift a finger.

The difference between them is that the mohammedans have a plan for what comes afterwards. Ironically, that plan calls for elimination of all lefty commie cocksuckers as soon as the mohammedans take power. Ask the commies in Iran... oops, you can't, because they all either dropped everything and went into exile in obscurity or they lost their heads. Literally.

355 I think the reasoning is simpler than that, and only grotesque in the way it plays out in modern society. A subset of the idea that our basic urges and inclinations come from the time when we lived in small groups and chased mammoths - women who feel vulnerable are going to feel a desire to pair with the biggest, baddest dude around, the one who can beat up and scare off all the other predator males. If he beats her up every now and again, that's just the price of security.

It is grotesque because it is the law of the Jungle aka naturalistic fallacy. Since we have the Word and the Word made incarnate, we no longer follow the rule of nature. But it requires conscious thought and stifling such base urges as evil.

They're smart enough to know how well the racist card works.

Also, IQ tests do not measure cunning. Just general abstract knowledge skills.

Perhaps their deficiency in the abstract thinking makes the "general welfare of the society" not even a factor. So, they can 100% hunker down to what benefits them.

Person of Interest Sought in Brown Shooting
Claim: Brown Disabled Security Cameras Because Left-Wing Groups Complained Their Criminals Were Being Photographed
UPDATE: Link to MIT Physicist Slaying?

Crimes which could then serve as a basis for expelling foreign-born terror-activists from the country.

So, the allegation goes, they pressured Brown into simply turning off their cameras, and Brown, of course, complied.

Before that: Supposedly they are searching for a specific person of interest in the terror shooting.

Of course they won't tell the public who they're looking for. It's standard police practice to withhold information during a manhunt so that the public cannot help you find the suspect.

Wait a minute, no, that's not standard police practice at all, is it?

A person of interest has been identified in the deadly mass shooting at Brown University, multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News on Thursday.

Law enforcement has identified a person, and a search for that individual is underway, the sources said.

Remember, they put out a picture of a man seen "in proximity" of the actual suspect, asking for tips about who he was. Their hope was that this man might be a witness who could offer a description of the actual suspect, I gather.

So when they say "a person of interest" has been identified, they might just be referring to this witness, not the killer. The photo of this "in proximity" person of interest was a lot more useful than ones of the killer, because we continue to allow people to wear masks in public because Taylor Lorenz will cry if we don't.

Meanwhile, there is a claim that Brown deliberately disabled many of its cameras because left-wing criminal "activists" didn't want the police having videotaped evidence of their crimes, and their foreign-born Islamic agitators didn't want to be expelled from the country.

And then this literal wilful blindness enabled the killer to (so far) walk away from his crime, unidentified.

I don't know if this is true. Brown the cops claim that it's not suspicious that there are only a couple of videos of the terrorist killer because this building was on the edge of the campus, bordering on a residential neighborhood with no camera coverage.

Uh, okay, that's plausible.

What's the excuse for their being no cameras inside a school building? At the doors?


Meanwhile, "authorities," such as they are, are asking for video of the scene of the crime for a week before the attack. I assume the point is to see if they can find the killer scouting and casing the site.

If the cameras were in fact turned off, then obviously we won't have any new clues.

Except about the need to defund Brown University completely and deny all student loans to students there.

Update: h/t to JackStraw, a Rhode Island tv news report says that there is a possible link between the Brown shooting and the assassination of an MIT physics professor.

Note that this is just something they're investigating as a possibility.

But cops seem to be telling all of the media this. Even Groomer Network ABC.

The topless bar was owned by somebody named Jack Ruby. It was Jack who threw him out. The deciding factor was my friend noticed the revolver that Jack had on him. This was in July of 1963 before Jack and his revolver became world famous.

HIGH PRIORITY BREAKING NEWS ALERT: Brown University has conspired to facilitate a massive, university-wide illegal aliens undocumented students program authorized by Brown University president Christina Paxson and her obsession with DEI.

Paxson and the university have conspired to defy the Trump administration's immigration and anti-DEI policies and President Trump's executive orders. Paxson and the university have been devoted to protecting illegal immigrants even if it jeopardizes the safety and security of university students, faculty, employees and the surrounding communities.

Under Paxson's DEI dictates, Brown University evolved into a dangerous far-left Marxist environment overrun with Islamic ideology and antisemitic Jew hatred.

Even with fatso's mask there is technology to ID this killer from his eyeballs. I am pretty sure of this. Or I could be making it up.From driver's licenses and/or passports. Or I watch too much NCIS.

The only connection I see to this murdering rampage to the MIT professor, was that the teacher is of this class a Jew. She was absent that day, so the bastard shot the only conservative girl on campus, which was close enough.

Then went on to kill the Jewish MIT professor in MA. After some random killings in NYC plus the stabbing of the one man recently who is, you guessed it, a Jew.

IF, big ole IF, this is anti-semitism during Passover and Christmas including what happened in Australia, that is the connection.

141 What's the excuse for their being no cameras inside a school building? At the doors?

University of North Dakota, school with slightly more student enrollment than Brown University (and probably a much smaller endowment) not only does cameras and key card entrance controls everywhere, but can control all door locks, internal and external from a centralized security station.

Every building on all of the campuses (including admin) is 3D modeled and security can tell if the doors are being opened, closed, how long a door is opened and then entire campus can be locked down with a single command. Furthermore, on the display an actor can replay any camera, keycard and door control that happened over a period of time and replay it like a video recording the activity on the campus.

Alerts and alarms can be set for rooms that must remained closed and locked (will trigger an alarm if cleaning crew props a door open)

I don't think I'm giving up real OPSEC here, this is a state school in Podunk USA and it is copied all over the place. For Brown to do what they did, their legal team better have authority to write blank checks.

No, it's not.
Anyone familiar with campus security understands that one of their biggest problems is townies coming on to campus to assault and rob vulnerable, unsuspecting, high trust, students.

Many campuses have taken on fortress mentality with limited access to the neighborhoods outside campus, (which is difficult due to student housing and the usual mixed town/gown zone on the edges.

They all have cameras specifically focused on the borders.

A lot of this is due to Clery Act requirements for reporting on crime and security.

198 The excuse I heard in a press conference a couple days ago for no cameras at the entrances and exits of the building: The shooting occurred in an older building that a shiny new building was grafted onto. The older section is on the edge of the campus. The new addition is on the campus-side of the old building. The shiny new building has all latest spiffy cameras and security stuff, but there hasn't been enough money to upgrade security stuff in the older building section.

Not verbatim but close to the above.

And another thought just occurred to me. Feebs may be letting Providence PD apparently lead because they are using the sekret cell and computer comm intercepts, imaging from airports, border crossings, etc. from government databases.

Every state has a 'fusion' intelligence center where feds, state, and local po po work and such things can be whitewashed as tips when the origin was a comm intercept or something like that.

Think I am joking, take a gander at stories dealing with Stingray (fake cell towers that conduct sweeps and intercepts all calls, texts, etc. in a vicinity) and local crime prosecutions. Sometimes the prosecutions are even dropped because governments do not want to disclose where the evidence came from.

=========

I'll have to admit, the media has been doing a credible job covering this. When the FBI SAC in Boston was being interviewed on the MIT assassination last night, the first question asked was whether or not it was related to the Brown massacre. The answer was "currently" no evidence connecting these two events. As soon as heard the weasel word "currently", I figured "highly likely".

If they are related, then this becomes an interstate matter, and if so, the Brown and MIT murders should come under FBI authority. Rhode Island, which, to the best of my knowledge is still a state, is proving to be rather problematic, currently.

Cops are allowed to issue material witness arrest warrants if they can persuade a judge that someone knows something about a crime. Same as any other evidence.

Courts have ruled that such is constitutional under the 6th because it allows subpoenas, etc. to bring in reluctant witnesses by force if necessary.

Whatever process protections for investigations that a defendant gets, the state also gets for the most part.

Mirrored sunglasses don't do a very good job blocking infra-red - iris scanners normally use near IR. It reduces image clarity, no doubt but that is why their are other modalities like face shape, thermal imaging, depth sensors, etc.

A person on the move actually helps reads where multiple snapshots can be run through algorithms to provide a more detailed image yielding better matching.

Brown Joins MIT, Rejects Compact
'The university’s president said the compact would undermine the government’s merit-based approach to funding research.'

Citing multiple concerns, Brown University on Wednesday rejected an invitation to join the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” that the Trump administration proposed.

The compact, initially sent to nine institutions, would require universities to make a number of far-reaching changes, including suppressing criticism of conservatives on campus. Of the original nine, Brown is now the second to reject the deal after the Massachusetts Institute of Technology." More followed.

Brown University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have several formal connections, including a graduate-level Exchange Scholar Program; the MIT-led NSF I-Corps Hub; Design Engineering (MADE) Program Partners, and the MIT Press and Brown University Library Book Series.

I'm waiting for the State to regulate automobile manufacturers who have integrated camera systems - which are many Right Now to include OCRs and software to transmit GPS and decoded license plate and vehicle meta data.

The tech is available Right Now. You can load open source ALPR software for your phone, drive through a parking lot and collect 100% of the license plates that are visible just from your phone's camera.

But when they found the chubby guy, he accounted for his presence AND it turns out that he and the hood-jacketed new "person of interest" are recorded passing each other in some of the videos. So the chubby guy has provided what evidence he could about the hood-jacketed guy, and the officials are seeking more information from the public.

from their website,
"Dear university administrators and trustees,

We are human rights organizations writing to express concerns about campus surveillance tools and policies that have the potential to fuel attacks on free expression and academic freedom across the country. Since January 2025, the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaign against US academic institutions, revoking international students’ visas and threatening universities with funding cuts unless they agree to suppress speech on campus. The president of Princeton University has described this assault as “the greatest threat to American universities since the Red Scare of the 1950s.” As university leaders take steps to defend their communities, it is imperative that data minimization, data privacy, and the dismantling of harmful surveillance systems are prioritized alongside other protective measures. Without immediate action, surveillance tools and the data they amass will be used to supercharge the virulent attacks on campus communities."

328 Here's what concerns me. I'm going to assume the shooter is a Brown student. I think the one student killed (studying to be a neurosurgeon) was the target. And, I think the shooter knows him well.

Then, I think Brown had an idea who it was, and that party is not in his dorm, missed finals (it's finals week up there) and they realized he took off.

If the MIT killing is related, then you're looking as a potential spree killer taking out people he has a problem with for whatever reason(s). THOSE are the type killers you want to have the public very informed about. And, it seems they are purposefully keeping it quiet.

In short...I don't think we're done with the murders. He'll have someone else on his list. And, I'd keep an eye out in Wash DC.

HHS Moves to Block Hospitals From Performing Sex Change Mutilations on Children;
House Moves to Ban

HHS wants to stop the Jack-to-Jill Ripper surgeries.

The Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday announced a series of proposed regulations to block hospitals from performing myriad gender-related treatments on children.

The regulations would block surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone treatments, which the department said "cause irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects."

"Under my leadership, and answering President Trump's call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said.

The House wants to criminalize the barbarous genital mutilation.

The House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday night that makes it a felony for doctors to perform transgender surgeries and procedures on minors, despite heavy opposition from over 200 House Democrats.

The legislation, titled the Protect Children's Innocence Act, passed in a 216-211 vote, which saw 207 House Democrats and four moderate House Republicans object to it. Three House Democrats joined with their Republican counterparts to pass it.

The four House Republicans to vote with the Democrats are Reps. Mike Lawler of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Mike Kennedy of Utah, and Gabe Evans of Colorado, while the three Democrats are Reps. Don Davis of North Carolina, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, and Henry Cuellar of Texas, according to the Daily Signal.

I think three of those defecting RINOs also defected to join the Democrats in forcing a vote on extending the "temporary COVID Obamacare subsidies" by another three years. At which point, the "temporary subsidies" will be extended again, unless Democrats have big majority, in which case they'll drop the "temporary" lie and officially make them permanent.

47 While a positive development, this proposal is actually pretty weak sauce. Lotsa exceptions to the ban, including this biggie:

Mutilations are okay if "necessary to the health of the minor on whom it is conducted, and is conducted by a person licensed in the place of such conduct as a medical practitioner."

Sure, there are provisions saying that "health" doesn't include "mental" health, but this is still a big exception.

67 >>> 47 While a positive development, this proposal is actually pretty weak sauce. Lotsa exceptions to the ban, including this biggie:

Mutilations are okay if "necessary to the health of the minor on whom it is conducted, and is conducted by a person licensed in the place of such conduct as a medical practitioner."

Sure, there are provisions saying that "health" doesn't include "mental" health, but this is still a big exception.

74 38 "I think three of those defecting RINOs also defected to join the Democrats in forcing a vote on extending the "temporary COVID Obamacare subsidies" by another three years. At which point, the "temporary subsidies" will be extended again, unless Democrats have big majority, in which case they'll drop the "temporary" lie and officially make them permanent."

Democrats and cuck Republicans always set the end of "temporary" money hand-out programs to coincide with POTUS or mid-term election years. It's a dirty racket.
Posted by: Gref

Senate already voted on the extensions, neither plan could beat the filibuster. So the House vote was meaningless without the Senate having 60 votes to agree. House also approved a health care reform bill not including the subsidiesl, 216-211 (not 111 as reported here), and sent that to the Senate as well.

- Support higher taxes on you to pay for, well, everything
- Support compelling you to drive an EV, and will wreck the energy industry and massively increase your utility bills to do it
- Want to define what words you can speak, and jail you for wrongthink
- Support mutilation of your children to peddle the lie you can change your gender
- Want to arrest you at a school board meeting for pointing out their flaws and egregious abandonment of liberty
- Want to force you and your children to take medicine and vaccines you don’t need or want

111 > What’s the rationale for transing kids?

1. Old, fucked in the head trannies look in the mirror and know they will NEVER look the way they want because they went through puberty.
2. Marxian theory puts everyone into oppressor / oppressed buckets. EVERYONE. Leftists are primed to accept every single degradation of society as long as their thought leaders plug the action into this template. Tranny kids are oppressed, therefore anyone who objects is an oppressor.
3. People who hate western society use any tool they can to destroy it. Attacking core identities like family, marriage, children attacks the pillars of western society.
4. Unknown environmental factors have been causing a significant year over year decrease in testosterone, which has significant impact in behavior. This has been noticed for at least 60 years.
5. Unknown environmental factors have been causing autism. Autistic kids know they're different. They are deeply susceptible to being told changing X or Y about themselves will make them normal.
6. Pedos want access to kids. Normalizing talking to kids about sex gives them cover for grooming.

There are more reasons, but this is getting long.

He was the developer of a few notable early video games and then decided he was a she and went through the surgery.

He noted though that it really didn't make him a woman, just a mutilated man. "Being my 'real self' could have included having a penis and including more femininity in whatever forms made sense. I didn't know that until too late and now I have to make the best of the life I've stumbled into. I just wish I would have tried more options before I jumped off the precipice.

137 One of the many ironies of the (un)Affordable Care Act is that the same people cheering Luigi for shooting a UHC CEO cheered on the ACA which gave multi-billion-dollar windfalls to UHC and other Big Insurance players. Yet they cannot - or will not - connect the dots.

From the numbers, looks like mass murder is their new vector for ending it. What the last 4-5 mass killers were on that side?


The left noticed trannies were willing to kill themselves when they finally noticed you can't change sex.

So they worked on targeting them at their political opponents instead. Its not nature that means you can't be a woman. Its that damn Charlie Kirk saying it that's stopping you from really becoming one!

142 I would like a poll of former eunuchs to see how they liked it, for you RINO's who defected.

Maybe it was more fun then than having constant leakage, 20min to pee, ingrown hair pain/irritation and no sex or the ability to orgasam again. Then there's the fistula between holes, which sounds like fun. When 1/2 commit suicide after the surgery...altho you won't find that statistic anymore online.

Do they put that on the surgical consent?

Or, for women, who have double mastectomies and hysterectomies at a young age and then change their minds a decade later and want children. Is that on the consent for the surgeries? Or having such a small penis (2") it is basically useless? Strap ons would be better, fake men!

Now let's add foreign hormones to teens who are probably already on SSI's and illegal drugs and see what this stew creates! You are altered but still depressed, is the answer. Except for Chaz Bono with her beard, I am unsure what she thinks.

144 I think Dan Bunten is a pretty instructive example in this.

He was the developer of a few notable early video games and then decided he was a she and went through the surgery.

He noted though that it really didn't make him a woman, just a mutilated man. "Being my 'real self' could have included having a penis and including more femininity in whatever forms made sense. I didn't know that until too late and now I have to make the best of the life I've stumbled into. I just wish I would have tried more options before I jumped off the precipice.

And part of the insanity in all this is it has never been easier in history to be "more feminine" as a man while not having yourself mutilated.

A family member recently went through a surgery that required a long incision (and resulting scar) in the abdomen. It was pretty horrific, if what he said was true. I can't imagine voluntarily doing something much much worse -- and permanent -- to your genitals and ending up with a yuge gaping wound for a "vagina." People that go through this are seriously fucked in the head.

145 >>> 125 I understand that the mutilation of children must be stopped, but how is this not already illegal? If a school official were to conspire with a doctor, or even if a parent were to conspire with a doctor, to say “this child thinks they’re a pirate, we must chop off one of their legs and blind one eye”, I’m pretty sure this would result in serious jail time for every adult involved.

What a lot of people don’t know, or pay attention to because they vote like it’s a team sport, is that most Blue States are already usurping their parental rights under the guise of these types of issues. They’ve used abortion and gender mutilation as screens for that effort, and many of this states can discuss or be involved with these efforts and “gender transitions” without your parental knowledge. In place like NY, they are even doing things like moving away from CDC vaccine schedules and requiring them as a matter of state law. So, for example that HepB shot that does more damage then good, and was only added as an “equity”, that is to make people with HepB feel better, and is being removed. Yep, NY is going to take sure they put that poison in your newborn at birth.

Cons: To the extent it encourages virgins to try the shit for the first time, it's bad. If you've never tried it, don't! To the extent it makes minors more comfortable using it, that's bad.

Pros: It may possibly reduce the costs of enforcement and courts dealing with it. It may allow dispensaries to accept credit cards, which may lower the cash they handle, and make them less likely robbery targets.

Canada is much further down this evil path:
@bill_c10
This set a terrifying precedent for parents everywhere. A Canadian father, Robert Hoogland, was thrown in prison for trying to prevent his 14-year-old daughter from undergoing permanent medical transition. After schools socially transitioned her behind his back and courts authorized testosterone injections against his wishes, the state stripped him of his parental rights. When he refused to remain silent about the medical risks and the loss of his child, the government moved to silence him by force.
Hoogland was sent to prison for "contempt of court" because he defied a gag order that forbade him from referring to his child as his "daughter" or using female pronouns.

I dunno. We saw some of that here in Obama years. Fisc cons versus social conservatives for example.

Social conservatives generally opposed everything that Obama stood for including tax hikes.

Pennsylvania Capital Star, 'Patients at Pa. hospitals fight DOJ’s demand for gender-affirming care records' University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia received subpoenas in June, September 25, 2025

The article begins, "Families of children who received gender-affirming care at two Pennsylvania hospitals are fighting a U.S. Department of Justice effort to obtain medical records and personal information about transgender youth.

The Public Interest Law Center in Philadelphia at the law firm Ballard Spahr filed motions Monday to quash subpoenas served on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in June."

The law firm is quite large and progressive. You may have heard of them, for instance: Press Release, The New York Times, Represented by Ballard Spahr, Prevails in Defamation Suit Brought by Sarah Palin, February 17, 2022

BTW, at the end of 2023, Mark Stewart stepped down as Chair of Ballard Spahr. He's the husband of US Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, PA-D and the firm is also where she, reportedly, ran the Pro Bono unit.

He did the same in the government shutdown which some bitched about here. With a very narrow majority, Johnson cannot rely on punishing dissidents without losing control of the House altogether. And he sure cannot rely on the strong conservatism of teh Senate. So now the Murcows and Collins are SOL for ramming something through the Senate with the Dems and forcing the House to walk the plank. They now have to consider voting for or against the House reform bill if their insurance companies back home hope to see any more money.

196 I think you still have some swank GOP types that dislike their own party's base voters more than they dislike Dems. And a lot of that dislike stems from social strata of politicians being more similar than different in their socialization. Same with donors.

Reform also threatens their position within the oligarchic structure. All change does, but at least them that has the most are in a position to stop reform. Reform is driven often by the voters and not those that profit and draw power from the way things have always been.

Other island:
1/2 normal males with no homo or pervert traits
1/2 normal females with no lesbo or pervert traits

All good looking (I am the judge of this) and under the age of 40yrs old. Minimum age 25yrs. Given the same coconut and wooden spoon. Make your own huts. Cohabitation requests leading to marriage (one ordained minister to perform vows). Otherwise, do your thing in the jungle, but sleep on your side of the island unless married.

If a woman becomes pregnant and requests, she and her husband can be evacuated.

Otherwise, no medical care to keep it fair to Pervert Island, who are on their own as well, and weaving bandages from the coconut fibers, while using spit from berries for wounds.

Really no different than figuring out which preacher, pastor, or priest is more concerned with the world than they are with the Lord's precepts.

A common tell there is excessively emphasis on Love and a lot less on don't do this things because they estrange you from the Lord regardless of his love. And sometimes the Lord, because he loves us, punishes as rebellious children when we do not follow his word. A person of the world is concerned with wordly things rather than eternal salvation so they tell the audience what they want to hear.

As I said above, I think it has to do with that they're politicians. Congress is mostly stratified between the raw ideologues in the Democratic party and the old-style Democrat-like politicians in the Republican party.

It's not that they dislike their Republican base so much, just that they want to ride the fence and don't care how upset that makes their base.

Thus the battle is between Marxist-like ideologues and fence-riders who don't think we should be so hasty.

I think MTG has turned more into a fence-rider than a true Dem-style ideologue.

Annoying Drunk Woman Harasses and Assaults Bar Staff Until She's Bodyslammed and then Ejected

Women didn't used to be like this.

Women didn't just violently assault men and expect to have some kind of Feminist Force Field that would protect them from retaliation.


San Francisco police revealed the identity of the woman whose booze-soaked rampage at an upscale eatery went viral this week -- and her tech employer confirmed she's been canned for the humiliating scene.

Her employer may be a tech company but she's no coder. She's just another idiot DEI hire.


Police identified Shireen Afkari -- listed as a marketing manager for the fitness app Strava and former employee of Credit Karma on a now-scrubbed LinkedIn profile -- as the woman who was caught on video taunting and pummeling staff at Hazie's before being body-slammed by a bartender and later tripping and face-planting on the sidewalk in the Hayes Valley neighborhood, according to KRON.


Officers arrived at 9:41 p.m. Saturday after Afkari, who was accompanied by a male companion, was dragged out of the restaurant after taking a swing at staff and violently knocking a phone out of another person's hands.

"He's f--ing harassing me," Afkari shouted at a bartender off camera before being hauled outside by Miguel Marchese, a staffer who later shared video of the incident on Instagram.

"Ooooh, he's a liar."

Afkari was arrested for public drunkenness and sent to county jail, according to cops.

She was fired. She was not charged with assault because the bar's staff, for some reason, declined to press charges.

I don't know what started her angry drunken rampage. If I were forced to guess, I would guess that she was cut off and decided this was "harassment."

Update: That guess was right. From Judge Elric the Blade:

Ace, that is exactly correct. From some more recent reporting:

Speaking to San Francisco's KRON4, Miguel Marchese, a bartender at Hazie's, who was at the centre of the ordeal, said the couple came in at around 9 pm and staff rapidly raised concerns about their level of intoxication.

"The night was quite chaotic, the couple came in, they were requesting dinner service," Marchese said.

"Initially, the server verbalized to me that she could tell that her table was not only intoxicated, but perhaps on some other substances and they were giving her quite a rough time and being quite verbally abrasive with her and then I do believe after that [the server] asked for the manager to intervene."

Marchese said the manager then removed cocktails from the couple's table and asked them to leave.

"He retracts her cocktails from the table, because I just made them, he brings them back and he simply tells me, 'they've had enough to drink, we shouldn't serve them anymore.' And then later, it just kind of spiraled into chaos," he said.


Her name seems to be Iranian/Persian, if you're wondering what great culture produced this Cultural Enricher.

Below, a still of her in the air as she's tripped.

That's probably why no charges were filed.

11 "Women didn't just violently assault men and expect to have some kind of Feminist Force Field that would protect them from retaliation."

Actually, they did. My dad was a criminal defense lawyer back in the day, and he and his lawyer friends had quite a few female clients who attacked men (and other women) like this. Being drunk will make you do crazy things. You might attack someone much bigger and stronger than you. You might have sex with a donut. Never can tell ...

Is female violence worse today? Probably. But it's not something new.

She was tripped as she was running down the street. I don't know if she was going after another victim or maybe trying to re-enter the bar, but someone stuck out his (?) leg and tripped the bitch. She face-planted and started boohoo whinin' and cryin'.

Unless the tripper was stopping her from committing an assault, he could be charged with assault himself.

I'm just saying, this might be why the bar's staff decided not to bother with charging her, worried that she would turn around and charge them.

But of course she will anyway.

56 Last week in Miami:

A doctor is in deep water and out of a job after, authorities said, an afternoon out for drinks led her to attack her husband and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper.

According to FHP, 39-year-old Gisell Mansur was arrested after she became violent on the Palmetto Expressway, spitting on a trooper and attempting to block traffic at one point.

Officials said it began on Tuesday while Mansur was having drinks with friends at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant Lounge near Miami International Airport.

After having too many drinks, Mansur’s husband went to the restaurant to pick her and a friend up.

According to the report, Mansur began arguing with her friend while they were traveling along the Palmetto Expressway near the West Flagler Street exit, at around 4 p.m.

When her husband pulled the vehicle over to intervene, Mansur reportedly became physically violent, kicking her husband in the face and later climbing onto the hood of their SUV. At one point, troopers said, she was also “sitting in the middle of the main roadway while blocking rush hour traffic.”

93 "I don't know what started her angry drunken rampage. If I were forced to guess, I would guess that she was cut off and decided this was 'harassment.'"

Ace, that is exactly correct. From some more recent reporting:

Speaking to San Francisco’s KRON4, Miguel Marchese, a bartender at Hazie’s, who was at the centre of the ordeal, said the couple came in at around 9 pm and staff rapidly raised concerns about their level of intoxication.

“The night was quite chaotic, the couple came in, they were requesting dinner service,” Marchese said.

“Initially, the server verbalized to me that she could tell that her table was not only intoxicated, but perhaps on some other substances and they were giving her quite a rough time and being quite verbally abrasive with her and then I do believe after that [the server] asked for the manager to intervene.”

Marchese said the manager then removed cocktails from the couple’s table and asked them to leave.

“He retracts her cocktails from the table, because I just made them, he brings them back and he simply tells me, ‘they’ve had enough to drink, we shouldn’t serve them anymore.’ And then later, it just kind of spiraled into chaos,” he said.

128 Women didn't just violently assault men and expect to have some kind of Feminist Force Field that would protect them from retaliation.

In part, because they used to see what men did to other men who went off the rails in public. The decline in warranted public ass whippings is a big part of this. Society has become too genteel, effete to function well. Law enforcement can address occasional infractions (usually after the fact
only) but not a general breakdown in public behavior. Public order has always depended on a combination of voluntary compliance and extrajudicial remedies for antisocial actors who won't voluntarily comply.

TL;DR version: Beat downs are the remedy, but an overly "civilized" society demands the state have a monopoly on such violence, which ends up meaning that bad actors effectively run things, because law enforcement is seldom on the scene.

Reader's Digest version: Bitch and her bitch man did not get nearly the ass kicking they deserved, and that's a shame.

12 years working as a bouncer in Chicago, I've seen some things.

As a rule we'd generally only place hands on a woman as a last resort. I almost typed that I only did once, but it was twice in 12 years.
Once of those times was my last time, I stopped a woman from stabbing another woman with the stem of a glass she just broke over the bar.
That was my last shift, I decided I was too old for that mess after that. I had to grab her wrist and knock the glass out of her hand.

Almost every time friends of the girls would get her out of there before we needed to perform a separation from the facility maneuver.

I did carry a girl out over my shoulder kicking and screaming until I placed her gently upon the curb or the street... once.

But for real, the law has gone way, way, way too far on protecting women when they are the aggressor.
And always assuming the man is always the aggressor and hit first merely b/c he is a man.
99% of the time, a domestic violence call will have the man arrested.
Even though study after study shows that women instigate 50% of all physical domestic violence situation.
There's the Violence Against Women Act, where they get free legal aid.

There is a baseline beauty therein that has been buried beneath weight and western leftist debauchery and ugliness.

This example while not "hot" as you state has potential, one of the tragedies of western leftist cuckishness in the wake of the rise of radical Islam is we lost the outposts of some really great party spots on the edge of empire.

276 Having been to many bars and clubs with many crazy bitches, I can say that the only way to win this game is not to play. If the girl is already that drunk and belligerent, you grab her and get her out of the place asap. Tell her whatever she wants to hear, but get her out. It's much harder to stop a fight when it's already happening.

Or better yet, don't let girls get that drunk or high in the first place. I host a lot of parties. All the girls know my rules: (1) have fun, consume what you want (I don't judge), but don't get really fucked up; (2) coasters on the impossible-to-replace marble table; and (3) no unattached guys.

319 "Women didn't just violently assault men..."

Here's my theory.

Men eventually gain an innate understanding of how far we can escalate conflicts because for our entire lives, the consequences of stepping over that line is violence. Women, being physically weaker than men, have similar lines, but they go much farther out, and their responses tend to be nonviolent because resorting to violence is a losing play for women since it has a good chance of getting you crippled or killed.

The problem is that we now have two or three generations of women raised on the girlboss mindset, which encourages them to act like men. They've grown up with movies where a skinny 90-pound woman fights an entire team of 250-pound men and walks away without a scratch. On top of that, you have those same two generations of men who've been programmed to think that hitting a woman, even in self-defense, is one of the absolute worst things you can do, on par with using a racial slur.

The end result is boss babes who've never had to worry about pissing a guy off enough to get punched the face rocketing straight over the violence line as an opening.

332 I find the entire situation sordid.

Her date should have promptly paid the bill, dragged her out of there, and taken her home.

The first time she laid hands on anyone she should have been thrown out...on her ass if necessary.

I hope I am never in that sort of situation, because I have an idea how I would react to being attacked by a woman.

The Inflation Rate Falls As Trump Promises a New "Golden Age"

I turned off Trump's speech because it made me anxious. He was rushing through the script so fast he tripped over words and didn't emPHAsize key points to drive the message home.

But he did hit the points. The speech was about 20 minutes. I think he should have taken maybe 28 minutes to give the speech, adding in emphasis and pauses.


A fiery President Donald Trump on Wednesday night promised Americans a shock-and-awe push for affordability, offering a glimpse of his 2026 agenda to overhaul Democrat policies that have left housing and health insurance increasingly out of reach for working Americans.

"Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected, and our country is back - stronger than ever before. We are poised for an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen," he declared in a nationally televised address from the White House.

In tone and delivery, Trump brought optimism to the 20-minute address and vowed to voters that they would soon see lower prices, higher wages and a brighter future. He also made clear he intends to inject himself onto the midterm elections ballot when Americans will choose which party will control Congress in 2026.

Woven throughout the speech were assurances that while many foreign issues have captured the Trump triage, America's kitchen table issues are his main focus.

At many points in the speech, Trump reflected back on a year prior, and the near-anemic economy Americans were suffering with, emphasizing that they can't afford to go back to the era of Democratic policies.

The speech was markedly and definitively "Trump." Senior White House aides confirmed to Just The News that shortly before the speech, the president tinkered with it and added his own fiery flair.

Maybe that's why there was stumbling over some words -- because he had just edited it.

...

Democrats lead Republicans on the 2026 generic ballot 48 to 45, but a change in prices could convince 74% of them that inflation and costs are no longer a problem, according to a new Echelon Insights poll.

Here's the first twenty seconds of the speech.

Trump may or may not have had advanced information that today's report on inflation would be a favorable one. (I assume he did.)

Not even CNN could spin it.

Inflation came in at 2.7%, the lowest in four years -- in other words, the lowest since Biden's policies began driving it sky high -- down 0.3% from the 3.0% mark in September.

"Experts" "expected" the inflation rate to be higher than 3%. They expected rising inflation, not falling inflation.

Bowtie Goebbels Tucker Carlson had announced before the speech that Reliable Congressional Sources had confirmed to him Trump would use the speech to DECLARE WAR ON VENEZUELA, which Bowtie Goebbels is of course opposed to. He has on Maduro spokesmen to assure his largely-foreign audience that Venezuela is a nice country that doesn't send Tren de Aragua terrorists to the US.


I saw a Bowtie Goebbels cultist declare that Carlson was SECRETLY RIGHT, because Trump really had planned to DECLARE WAR ON VENEZUELA but Carlson's brave disclosure of this before the speech forced Trump to change it.

Sure. Trump was ready to announce a war -- one of the most controversial things a President can do -- but Tucker Carlson saying so a few hours before the speech was enough to get him to back off the DECLARATION OF WAR.

Pathetic.

14 Perfect excuse to repost a tail end comment, ace.
This is from a market and investment watcher. He is arguing that for the moment the rolling average for CPI correlates to the gasoline futures market

Tom Luongo (Head Sneetch)
@TFL1728

So, we finally get a CPI for November and it correlates perfectly with what we should have expected with the drop in gasoline prices.

The 4-month rolling avg. of the CPI has correlated directionally with the monthly closing price of gas futures since the run up to COVID. (see chart).

With RBOB Gasoline Futures trading @ $1.70 this morning. If that holds through year-end, we're looking at a Dec CPI (YoY) print of 2.3-2.4%. Coming into 2026 we can and should expect gas prices to further attenuate, the CPI to fall well below 2%, if not stall out completely, and wages to grow 3+% given the amount of investment happening.

Soon, copper and other tight supply commodities will be the driver of inflation, not gasoline, but we're not there yet.

19 "Democrats lead Republicans on the 2026 generic ballot 48 to 45, but a change in prices could convince 74% of them that inflation and costs are no longer a problem, according to a new Echelon Insights poll."

If that poll is even remotely accurate, then we should keep the House. I think given the modern map with so many gerrymandered seats, the Dumocraps need a generic ballot advantage of at least 5-7 points to change control.

It's unknown how the new TX gerrymander will play out, and who knows what FL will do.

But polls like this are good news. I'm still worried about 2026 because our side has too many lazy slothing lipids who don't see a need to vote.

While I'd like to attribute that to dropping inflation. And, that may be part of it. I tend to think that the lowering fuel prices, dropping regulations, and increase in supply chain shipping (lowering hauling costs) plays a part in that as well.

This will be the primary issue in the midterms. So, I'm elated to see visible progress either way.

You would be wrong. If you read the actual orders, it is blockading internationally sanctioned ships from entering or leaving a port. In fact, a seizure order was signed by a federal judge before the tanker was seized and boarded.

Those flying without flags or without valid registration have no protections under international law from being boarded and seized or even destroyed and thus cannot claim the protection of a nation at sea.

And in the case of Iran, Venezuela, etc., if the nation itself commits violations of international sanctions, then the ships, planes, etc. of that nation can be seized as a matter of international law.

72 Inflation came in at 2.7%, the lowest in four years -- in other words, the lowest since Biden's policies began driving it sky high -- down 0.3% from the 3.0% mark in September.

The problem with this is many LIVs think when politicians talk about inflation its the same as prices. So if Trump solved inflation then prices should go to pre-Biden levels.

But that's not how inflation works. Thanks to Trump-enomics prices will increase slowly like they did before Biden, but it won't resolve Biden doubling prices during his regime.

If it wasn't Trump, it would not be.

"It's the economy, stupid." O was never supposed to win re-election showing us Carville's oft-quoted saying was right in '92 but wrong 20 years later.

AI Overview: Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012 despite an economy that was still recovering from the Great Recession, with a 7.9% unemployment rate on Election Day, a rate higher than when he took office. While economic conditions were challenging, voters did not overwhelmingly blame him for the state of the economy, and the trend was perceived as improving.

Key factors that contributed to his re-election include:
perception of improvement; inherited crisis; empathy and connection; effective campaign strategy, and economic models - which was all BS but for the press behind him and against anyone "R."

Polls often use the most lenient of standards in doing these sorts of polls. All adults whether they are foreigners residing here legal or illegal, felons barred from voting, and not registered to vote.

They usually do not do geographic weighting on selection either for such 'national' polling so using RDD, it can give too much weight to places like CA, NY, IL and less to places like TX or FL.

Polls are useful for trend analysis if they use a consistent sampling frame over time but less useful until registered voters and then likely voters screening of samples start appearing in July or so.

95 Willowed comment from morning thread:

"Several failed assassination attempts on Trump"?

Besides the two we know of, what other ones were there?


I believe I have read about the Secret Service investigating a couple of on line threats, and also the DOJ doing at least one prosecution. Do you not think that the murder of the NG female and shooting of her teammate a couple of blocks from the White House would have been an assassination attempt if the gunman could have done it? How long do you think the President could walk around in Seattle or Portland without somebody trying to kill him? A minute perhaps? Only lack of access to him is keeping him alive.

Historically the Dem label has had better appeal then the Republican one.

So if you had bland run of the mill party members running in a competitive district the D had the advantage.

But the Ds favor so many absurd things now every R candidate should just push their opponent on them endlessly. "Should we give welfare to illegals?" "What is a woman?" "Is it ok that trannies and muslim go on regular terrorist murder sprees now in this country?"

99 I'm kind of surprised people haven't realized by now if there's one thing Trump does, and sometimes people say to a fault, it's play by the rules. He has gone out of his way to obey ever court order and every legal rule.

It doesn't mean he won't press the edges to get things done but Trump is probably the most law abiding person we've had in the Oval Office in many years.

Early in the WoT, Capital Hill Blue published an expose that American military personnel were torturing captured jihadis and there source was, according to them, a well vetted national security resource they had worked with for years.

Their story fell apart though when in the provided videos the supposed US military members were wearing uniforms made up from random services and eventually they admitted the story was false.

But...clearly this was a major propaganda effort. Someone made those videos and tried to get people that looked like US military. And then that was it. No investigation. No revelation of the source. Nothing.

Maybe Capital Hill Blue made it up, but I think they were just a friendly source to dump propaganda on. And thanks to Shrub no one did anything about it...

No more than machine gunning a bunch of cartel invaders coming into the US bringing a bunch of drugs means we are in a defacto war with Mexico or that seizing arms on the high seas that are being sent to augment a civil war in violation of UN sanctions is a state of war.

So just like Venezuela's Maduro is doing a fan dance to claim he is not involved in the drug trade sending death to others for money in other countries or doing business with sanctioned companies, etc., the US is using Maduro's strategic fan dance to cram it up his ass.

2) How do you think your neighbors are doing? - a large majority said they thought their neighbors were struggling.

Rush talked about the power of the media to shape perceptions - the economy was good, but most people thought the economy was in the dumper, even though they, themselves, were doing just fine. All because of the media doing then exactly what they are doing now.

153 About Trump's speech.
We all know he can be warm, funny, engaging.
So why would he deliver some fantastic news for the military, something that could be really heartwarming, in that tone?

I posit 2 things:
1) Trump has always redirected fire at himself, so that other's don't get attacked.
2) He wanted everyone to focus on the tone.

Because:
1) now they are not going to smear the military as "being bought off" by Trump; or "falling for a silly gimmick, 1776." Or worse, "why not the minorities, they're suffering too?"
2) They will ignore the other, just as important part: He has laid out his agenda for the next 11 months; more freedom, more prosperity, more America.

And the Dems are going to focus on the tone, how he's wrong, how bad things are.
While falling into Step 1: Get the Dems on the wrong side of the issue.
The issue is "who is going to fix this?"
And whining about Trump's tone answers "not us."

They're not looking for a job, they own a house or have subsidized rent, they don't pay their own medical expanses, and higher inflation just means a bigger (welfare/soc sec/gov paycheck) check every month and/or more food stamps.

You would be wrong. If you read the actual orders, it is blockading internationally sanctioned ships from entering or leaving a port. In fact, a seizure order was signed by a federal judge before the tanker was seized and boarded.

Those flying without flags or without valid registration have no protections under international law from being boarded and seized or even destroyed and thus cannot claim the protection of a nation at sea.

And in the case of Iran, Venezuela, etc., if the nation itself commits violations of international sanctions, then the ships, planes, etc. of that nation can be seized as a matter of international law.

What polling picks up consistently is that a lot of voters are transactional--promise them government largesse, they say YAY regardless of the long term effects. Promise them cheaper crap to buy, "Yay", more jobs "Yay", etc.

They vote solely in view of themselves and perhaps their family and whether on the balance they are getting something from gov. Otherwise they don't care about a lot of issues that don't affect them.

Like Venezuela, Ukraine, the near war between India and Pakistan, murdered Christians in Nigeria and Sudan, or Ham Ass killing or being killed.

Mitt had a vision of the GOP that did not include the whims of the population at large. His supporters and confidants who had been running things were who were important not some upstart idiots getting over their station in life when his friends had been running the political and business end of the country. He didn't need some hillbilly or trailer trash to come try to direct the country since they were more suited to following orders and doing what they were told.

207 Holy crap this video is amazing and scary at the same time. In it, a guy takes what looks like a selfie video with famous actors from movies we all know and love in a setting that appears to be behind the scenes of that movie.

He turns 180 degrees and he's standing with Linda Hamilton and Arnold, with James Camron in the background as if they're on the T2 set. He turns 180 degrees and he's standing with Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamil exactly as they looked in the first trilogy as if they're on the Star Wars set. He keeps doing this for several scenes and it all looks perfect and seamless. I'm sure perfectionists and film students could find several glaring issues besides the obvious that these actors don't look like that anymore, but it looks really really good.

We're already in the territory of fake videos being almost perfectly convincing.

Well, in the US at least, it triggers a whole lot of power embedded in statutes since at least WWI such as being able to conscript if needed, mucho power to regulate wages and prices including rationing, augmented seizure powers for eminent domain for defense purposes, ability to expel or involuntarily detain persons with the enemy country's nationality without review, seizure power over enemy assets in this and other countries, and so on.

There is a reason Congress has not declared war since WWII and Truman in the Korean Conflict considered it briefly then decided against it, in part, because Congress was well aware of executive power increase during war.

Well, in the US at least, it triggers a whole lot of power embedded in statutes since at least WWI such as being able to conscript if needed, mucho power to regulate wages and prices including rationing, augmented seizure powers for eminent domain for defense purposes, ability to expel or involuntarily detain persons with the enemy country's nationality without review, seizure power over enemy assets in this and other countries, and so on.

There is a reason Congress has not declared war since WWII and Truman in the Korean Conflict considered it briefly then decided against it, in part, because Congress was well aware of executive power increase during war.

The draft was a thing until 1973 without a declaration of war.

It is also very important in terms of international law. Carter briefly considered asking for a declaration of war against Iran because, the theory goes, the Iranian government would be forced to turn the hostages over to a third country for transport back home. (That Iran gave the Vienna Convention of 1961 short shrift to begin with was probably why this idea never went forward.)

Ehhhhnt. You're equivocating.

You're saying obvious things, but your relationship confuses the levels and what an Official Declaration of War is.

Actions that occur in war and are "tantamount to war" are not "official declarations" (see the "police actions" of Korea and Viet Nam). Congress can protect its power to declare war by using its power to either confirm the actions of the executive within 90 days of warlike hostilities. If the President does not get his official Declaration of War, within 60 days, he must cease by the War Powers act.

I certainly did not know anyone in the family, but the main "sign" was in photos of Nick from childhood.

Sanpaku Eyes. In nearly all but one photo I saw of him, and then he's sneering. The poor daughter who found them looks stoned in a lot of photos. The only child who ever looked normal is the son who moved to Texas...he and his wife look normal in the family photos. His smile reaches his eyes.

Since Nick was in rehab from age 15yrs, and admitted to smoking pot at age 14yrs (and buying a hooker with his parent's $)...I think those were signs as well.

Pot exacerbates schizophrenia when a young teen starts smoking it. If I had to take a wild diagnostic guess, I think that is at least part of his problem, and was made 1000% worse with drug addiction and parental wealth and coddling.

What he did accomplish is he reframed the discussion the he is making progress in fixing the disastrous Biden years and has laid the ground work a vibrant economy going forward. Maintaining this framing and having it heard unfiltered by the electorate over the next 12 months is where the battle will be.

The Democrats and the Democrat media are going to pull out all the stops to reframe the reframe as an utter failure. Who wins the tussle likely wins the midterms. If the Democrats win Trump gets impeached, likely multiple times and his agenda mostly gets trashed.

300 Tucker has to have more than $40M net worth. Inheritance aside he was making 8 figures a year at Fox for 10 years.

Unless he blew it all on hookers and coke his net worth has to be $100M+ . He doesn’t need Qatar money.

301 Man, the news feeds are full of pronouncements by "experts" and "economists" tut-tutting the numbers. "Take them with a grain of salt" being very common.

The Dems and media have worked very, very, hard to make the USA a Dicken's London Dystopia. The Terrible Tariffs! Roaring inflation! Affordability! Oh, Woe!

And now that sad tale is dropping like lightning-struck dirigible in the face of reality.

302 The thing about inflation, is that you only really heard the alternate media reporting on how much prices had gone up during the Biden administration, "the Inflation Reduction Artifice" notwithstanding.

The real reporting on inflation happened only when Trump got into office. Then people were allowed to know that the prices had gone up ~20% under Biden--not that the Demedia put it that way.

Then it was "Trump said he'd bring prices down--what's he doing for that? People are hurting (from the increase that "wasn't happening" throughout the Biden term).

303 there has got to be a better answer than what Vance gave; some conspiracy theories are just that

This is the game the left plays though intentionally.

Are chemtrails real? How about Lizard People? Or is the earth flat?

But then saying "COVID came from a lab in China" gets lumped in with the top three.

Re: Cucker Tarlson. Someone in the Administration is obviously is having a lot of fun pulling that naif Cucker's chain.

The Cucker War with Venezuela thing reminds me of an old Bloom County story line. Bill the Cat spins a bunch of outlandish lies about the CIA to Bob Woodward while wearing a paper William Casey mask (this was when Woodward's book "Veil" on Casey at the CIA was a thing).

Bill: "And then, when I was at CIA we put out a hit on Bruce Springsteen"
Woodward: "Wow, this is GREAT!" *scribbles in notebook*

"Affordability" wouldn't even be a topic if the Biden administration hadn't been lying about inflation not happening, or small and temporary.

Also if the "Inflation Reduction Artifice" had actually been about reducing inflation.

Some of us just have too good of memory to be Democrat voters.

And I for one had strangers in the store come up and talk with me about it.

312 🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A private jet has crashed at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina, and there are reports that a NASCAR driver may have been among those onboard.

UPDATE: NASCAR's Greg Biffle, his wife and his children were on board.

314 The "conservative" catamite crew on Twitter bought into the war with VZ thing hook, line, and sinker. Iowahawk, Baseballhead, Geraghty. etc. Garments were ready to be rendered, the pearls clutched, the testicles (such as they are) un-dropped. Rand Paul and Massie had the thundery condemnations written.

Today, they are reduced to bitching about the captions underneath the White House art. Sad!

320 29 minutes ago. Plane registered to Gre Biffle has crashed at Statesville Regional AirPort in Statesville NC.

Unknown pilots & passengers.

321 If all tucker wanted was to live rich, he would have faded away already. He wants back. And he wants back on top. Some of it is just the basic desire to be a front man, but a lot of it is revenge. And he doesn't have anywhere near that amount of money. But Qatar does. And they'd love to have their thumb on a media/news conglomerate that they build through him and those that travel with him. He's building that.

#BREAKING: CNN’s @PeteMuntean confirms “a federal source tells me that somebody associated with NASCAR was on board this plane” that crashed and resulted in multiple fatalities, a huge blow to an industry that has been “hit time and time again by fatal plane crashes”

Separately, WSOC has confirmed the plane was registered to a home belong to Greg Biffle.

327 There was an illegal who killed a white woman in Iowa. The white woman’s family said they still love immigrants because otherwise Iowa’s food scene would be boring.

Wouldn’t surprise me iff this NoVa murder will have the same type of pronouncement from the family.


When did that happen? There was a federal government office that specifically was tasked with gaslighting the families of diversity victims into making exactly these kinds of statements. It went bye-bye along with USAID on July 1st.
