Quick Hits
The latest White House shooter has been named. Michael Marx. Seems well-named.
The authorities seem to be slow-rolling information about this person, only telling us he is 45 and has a Texas drivers license. I'm sure that means he's totally not a leftwing murder cultist. Professional Homosexual Tim Miller doggedly defends Nazis and Islamists because he's such a principled conservative.Tucker Carlson and William Kristol, Together Again? It's only a matter of time. And money. Don't forget the money. Because the grifters all like money. A lot. Like strangely a lot. Of course:
Justin
@JustR_02 Democrats are currently arguing about whether people who said America deserved 9/11 (Piker), has a Nazi tattoo (Platner), and someone who says he's sad the Ayatollah was killed (El-Sayed) should be welcomed in their "big tent. Tim Miller and Co supposedly left the GOP bc of principles.
Hans MahnckeI say "of course" because the Democrat Party has dictated that black people are almost entirely immune from law or professional requirements and boy oh boy, is that policy working out for everyone with zero negative consequences! Related: Three DC dirty police officials could possibly be fired for faking the city's crime data. But you know, they won't be.
@HansMahncke The assistant district attorney who filed completely fabricated AI material in a murder case and then lied about it has been suspended by the Georgia Supreme Court for six months. That seems lenient given the dishonesty involved, and the fact that it went undetected for so long.
hidden.place.inI follow zero political accounts on Instagram so this was definitely pushed to me courtesy of an op. There was probably a money payment to spread this absurd post. Know the op when you see it.

They told you the culture war is organic--real disagreements between real people with real passions. Nothing to see here. But what if JD Vance and Erika Kirk are siblings, created by the CIA to deceive and divide us? Here's what the mainstream media, the political pundits, and the gatekeepers don't want you to understand: ✅ "Same playbook, different faces." You've seen this before. Two people on opposite sides of the political aisle, arguing passionately, generating clicks, outrage, and donations. But what if they're not enemies? What if they're coworkers? The intelligence community has a long history of manufacturing opposition to control the Overton window. Left vs. Right is the oldest trick in the book. ✅ "Follow the connections." Both rose to prominence suspiciously fast. Both say exactly what their respective bases want to hear. Both never cross certain lines that would actually threaten the system. And both refuse to debate each other in any unscripted, uncontrolled environment. When two "enemies" won't meet face to face without handlers, you have to ask: what are they hiding? ✅ "Divide and conquer works when you don't know you're being divided." You think you chose your side. You think your anger is authentic. But what if every talking point, every controversy, every "outrageous statement" was workshopped in a Langley conference room? The goal isn't to win the argument--it's to make sure you're always arguing. 💬 Comment "SIBLINGS" and I'll send you the full breakdown--the connections, the timelines, the intelligence community's history of creating fake opposition, and why they need you to stay angry at each other.

Nielsen Ratings Company Reveals That Not a Single Disney Sequel Is in the Top Ten of Most Viewed Star Wars Movies or TV Shows
Nielsen is spinning this as if it's good for Star Wars that the original, from over 40 years ago, remains the absolute ratings champ among movies, and the disastrous Disney "saga" sequels aren't even in the top ten.

RUMOR: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy From Timeline to Resume Focus on Original Characters
— Geeks + Gamers (@GeeksGamersCom) May 4, 2026
"If true, this would be one of the most dramatic franchise shifts in modern Hollywood history." pic.twitter.com/tqB5V8uo9x
BPBut I don't think returning to Han, Luke and Leia will help. Once you fall completely out of love, you don't usually fall back in love. The bubble is burst, the magic is gone. The Force is dead. It's really incredible. The biggest IPs in the history of the world destroyed themselves because The Mary Sue claimed that girls liked boys' action-adventure movies just as much as boys and it was #Sexist to not let girls See Themselves in boys adventure/war stories and these fucking idiots believed them and bet $40 billion dollars on what "Princess Weeks" from The Mary Sue told them.
@everyonebpup May 4 > be Disney executive
> pay $4B for Lucasfilm in 2012
> greenlight a new trilogy to print money
> Force Awakens hits $2B. you are a god
> Last Jedi splits the fanbase
> Rise of Skywalker barely clears a billion
> teens now call Star Wars "out of order"
> Mandalorian and Grogu tracks franchise-low
> can't admit trilogy failed. shareholders watching
> tell Filoni the sequels need to be "branched off"
> cast members at parks start citing a time portal
> May the 4th merch quietly drops the sequels
> rumor leaks: Ahsoka finale severs the timeline $4B of canon about to get filed under "alternate universe" because nobody can say the word "mistake"
Below, proof that the supposedly "good" sequel film was just an embarrassing rip-off of the original trilogy movies, as if you need it. I hear that this was a mandate from Creative Genius Bob Iger, who issued the very creative corporate mandate that the "new" movies should just be remakes of the old ones. So I don't think that choice can be blamed on Kaffeine. She can be blamed for everything else, though.
If you have four minutes to spare, this video comparing The Force Awakens to Star Wars explains better than a million words ever could why the sequel trilogy was doomed to fail, and from the start. If you've never seen it, it's an absolute must. https://t.co/kZIErDv1uZ

Leia wanders around for the 2nd book with nothing to do.
Thrawn is introduced in the first scene, denying him mystery.
The whole macguffin of the second book doesn't matter in the end.

It feels weird in that its got a lot of space and is built to traditional Disney quality, but doesn't have much there to do. Just a few shops and the two rides. Few characters around, no Stormtroopers. Blue milk was good though, had that twice.
I did appreciate my 3yo niece. New Republic spy (nice, young castmember) came by to ask her if she wanted to be part of an event. My niece took her hand and said "lets go see these rocks!" And proceeded to drag the poor thing to go look at blast doors and rock formations. Castmember did a good job and let my neice drag her around. Good sport.

The original Star Wars is based on old low budget science fiction movie shorts, modernized. It has nothing to say about the human condition. It was never substantial, just a novelty. Maybe basing an entire industry on a lightweight trifle is the real issue here.

Like a mash-up of Warhammer 40k.
That the whole purpose of the Empire, the massive war machine, and the Death Stars was the only chance they had to defeat them.
Instead, the goofy hippie space wizards and their primitive magic destroying the Empire caused the death of some 360 trillion sentients before the invasion was defeated.
Which is to say, there were/are so, so many better stories they could have told after the original; complex characters and plots.
Instead they chose shittier, boring re-hashes of the original stories--but with More Girl Power.

Sounds like a ripoff of the climax of the first season of Blakes 7. The evil Empire had a secret base in an unknown location the good guys had to find. This arc covered several shows and they find that all sorts of tasks are being run through the computers there at Star One. And they are starting to fail. They find its location is at the edge of the galaxy and are going to destroy it, but then they find that another task it has is a huge shield holding back a trans galactic invasion force and there is a spy aboard the station trying to enable the invasion. They warn the evil empire about the invasion and use their superior ship to hold back the invasion as long as they can - fade to black

I saw another article that said over 40K early ballots had already been cast. Alito can F right off given this is now meddling in an active election for partisan reasons
Now he’s getting personal, and he breaches that wall with … a Black woman. And he’s the guy who ripped up women’s right to safe reproductive health care. He is begging to be impeached.
Yall should go watch last night's daily show. Guest was SHERRILYN IFILL and she breaks it down perfectly. Roberts has been gunning to destroy this for almost 50 years. Scotus has stolen power from Congress by overriding what they have voted on.

+ 100 It expanded what we'd seen in the first film, showing us the ice planet and the workings of the rebel alliance. We were pleased they'd gotten a real SF writer, Leigh Brackett, for the script, and she had realized there were more stories to be told in the SW universe, not just another spaceship attack on a giant Imperial fort. And the story was darker, with a screeching bombshell of s surprise at the climax, and events in the first film -- Solo's debt to Jabba, for instance -- came back to bite the original characters. It was a delight.

Veteran sci fi writer (and script writer) Leigh Brackett wrote the screenplay and Irvin Kershner directed. Much tighter film. The first one benefitted vastly from former Lucas wife Marcia Lucas and George had crap tendencies that would have destroyed that movie. Marcia edited the first movie and whipped it in to shape. She also worked as editor with Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver for example).
Probably why George divorced her in the future; she had more talent than he did. She won (and deserved) the Oscar in 1977 for best film editing for Star Wars. Her contributions noted here. https://tinyurl.com/2n3e49bp

It was political from the beginning.
Herbert was writing a cautionary tale about populist leaders and movements.
It's just he made it very clear in the second one that what Paul unleashed was very, very bad.
But Herbert is kind of contradictory because by book 4, the tyrant is necessary and good and no one understands him because he's setting the Golden Path.
Essentially, "Nixon is the devil because he has too much power. I should have all that power because I'm particularly smart and insightful."

Yes and no. The political subtext is certainly there in the background, but the meat of the first book is Paul's journey from kid to man to leader. Amusingly, it plays out a lot like the original SW trilogy.
Boy has his parental figures killed by an evil empire, learns to use his power, overthrows the evil empire.

Herbert was writing a cautionary tale about populist leaders and movements.
It's just he made it very clear in the second one that what Paul unleashed was very, very bad.
But Herbert is kind of contradictory because by book 4, the tyrant is necessary and good and no one understands him because he's setting the Golden Path.
Essentially, "Nixon is the devil because he has too much power. I should have all that power because I'm particularly smart and insightful."

I find Dune boring, the movies even more boring despite great effects.
Foundation was probably a better epic to read and film.
If you really want to get into the sticks, read some Stefan Brust (Jhereg series) mixes fantasy with a touch of sci fi (aliens).
He manages to get politics into his series books without being pedantic. And he uses different writing styles throughout. His three part original takeoff on the Three Musketeers set in his imagined world are pretty good too.

Part of it was unions. Animators, model builders, and matte artists were in IATSE union.

TNG pretty much killed Star Trek. Season 1 included a chick as "Chief Security Officer". And the plots moved slowly (and then faster as time went on) away from fighting Romulans and Klingons to fighting germs and stupid characters that looked like they belonged in a Disney children's park ("Ferengis"--disgusting, whether depicted as friend or foe of the Federation).

It is more that the overlaying arc of the story is more understandable than Dune. Dune had a lot of weird digressions that fans dig but others find ridiculous. There is a reason that Tolkien did not like allegories.
The funny thing is commercial failure as writer, Phillip Dick, actually has more movies from his short stories than most of the celebrated artists of the sci fi and fantasy series.
I personally prefer H. Beam Piper's Future History. Heinlein's as second. Space Vikings would be an amazing property to be developed. Little Fuzzy would be likewise as a trilogy.
FWIW, Piper's books, like Uller Uprising, were solid recreations of past history. Lord Kalvan is dripping with it and Paratime would be an excellent source for a TV mini series.

Paratime has the advantage that there are many agents besides Verkan Vall and his once and future wife Dalla. So you could have other things going with other agents in isolation.

There are six stories (counting the prologue written for the publication of the book Foundation), and each would form one hour-long episode, except for The General a.k.a. Dead Hand, which would be two, making seven episodes/hours total.
The rest of the Foundation material (the remainder of Foundation and Empire onward) consists of Asimov throwing out the fundamental premise via the character The Mule and milking fans for all they were worth.

I agree.
Also, there's enough meat there to make a great limited series, if they don't expand the individual sections to much.
Six episodes and out would be about perfect.

My favorite TV Series as a kid was likely the last Charlie Chan Western: Kung Fu.
/Starring a white guy because Hollywood was too racist to feature an Asian like Bruce Lee (who's idea it was for the show) -- despite his enormous popularity as Cato on The Green Hornet as the lead ...

As far as I know:
History of Disney
1923 - 1937 -- struggling animation studio
1937-1955 -- purveyor of old-timey conservative American values and Western civilization cultural memes
1955-19?? -- corporate money-making machine
200?-2026 -- money-losing woke dumpster fire
When did Stage 3 become Stage 4?
Posted by: zombie at May 05, 2026 05:53 PM (Av6i5)
I'd say Disney started flirting with the Dark Side when they purchased Touchstone Pictures, then ABC/ESPN in the 90s and 2000s.
It was at that point they moved away from family friendly fare, and started appealing to the adult market more and more.
At some point in the 2010s they went full indoctrination into LGBTQ and Girl Boss and they haven't looked back since.

**************************
Though they certainly aren't the most easily-adapted SF, the Foundation stories could be made into an episode television miniseries, but the audience for this wouldn't be the one that everything is aimed for, so it wouldn't be made.
There's a vast amount of classic science fiction that's never been adapted for either television or movies and, aside from a portion that really is unsuitable for the change in medium, could easily be adapted with today's cheap computer graphics, but this won't occur for the same reason.

So it began. I was assured Rogue One (I saw it in the theaters, meh) and Solo (avoided like the plague for punishment after the atrocious TLJ) were great movies in the mold of the OT. Which I attacked again and again, and reminded them that I was not interested in giving money to people that hate me. They did not understand my reasoning and just dismissed me as "close minded". Yeah, my mind was closed for sure by TLJ. TFA left me satisfied but my questions grew as time went on. The video linked here confirmed everything I had long suspected. But yeah, after TLJ, I was done. As I told the group chat, "If that makes me closed minded, so fucking be it."

They did. Right up until the early 80s.
Then they lost their touch and the 80s were mostly barren other than animated films.
They had a bunch of bombs and pivoted to making better animated films in the 90s when they started making hits again (bought Pixar too) and expanding into movies for adult audiences.

Like Heinlein, Anderson began on the left and drifted to the right. His UN man short story series was in the early 50's I think. Heinlein lost the glow of leftism a bit earlier I think when he left his first wife and saw post war that the Soviets had bad intentions making a world order defunct except on their terms.
Karen Anderson (Poul's wife), apparently was quite a hit on the con circuit for a long while and was one of the originators of filk singing setting a lot of sci fi and fantasy works to music and singing.

Word is Lucas, before he left, sketched out all the sequel trilogy. Every bit of it. he had worked for decades on this. In fact, he sold Lucasfilm, and brought in Kenedy, specifically on the promise they would follow his plan.
As soon as he was out the door, Kennedy stabbed him int he back, and dumped all his scripts for the sequel trilogy, preferring to go with her own vision. Of course, not being very smart, she didn't actually think through that vision, so the first movie was just a remake of the New Hope, and the rest...whatever man.

But not only did they do what they did, the movies were so fucking stupid in so many ways that it ripped you out of the fantasy world entirely.
That bar scene with the orange alien with glasses...I mean, what the hell was that. The bar gets blown up and she doesnt even blink an eye.
And the magical superpowers given to that grinning idiot Daisy Ridley with the obviously perfect teeth, who grew up on a desert planet like Luke did.

Yes, some even published the alleged plot/plot points. Then there were writers whose scripts were rejected and later "leaked". They sounded pretty reasonable.

The new breed that have power in the studios and as script writers literally have no life experiences other than brownnosing and conformity to get to the top. So when they try to adopt written works, it comes out as a bad parody of it, if they try to write original works, it is hackneyed and full of social virtue signalling. The actors are about the same--all products of the upper middle or wealthy classes with a lot of connections but no real talent. Their life experiences are minuscule compared with previous generations.
In other words, theater kids.

It all comes across as really bad fanfic- not original stories in the universe. They have to add characters (often self inserts) and intertwine them inside the old show rather than building on it.
As a result, it often CANT be good.
I just thought of an exception but it was well before the modern era. The DS9 episode where they go back to TOS during the episode with the tribbles. They managed to make it more an homage than fanfic. Good episode.

Heinlein's second wife was the free love, open marriage woman that he left when her drinking got out of control. RAH has a forgotten 1st wife.
He really turned with his third wife, Virginia. But he still was a practicing nudist.

The contrast between the two leads, Solo and Illya, was essential to the concept working. Solo in the original was not a pro thief before being co-opted into spy work, any more than Illya was a devoted KGB killer. But the contrast between them, their looks and their individual styles, was important to catch. And the film did that.

Double Indemnity had a similar plot with the insurance investigator coming in to clean up the mess.
If you hadn't done so, a lot of the early 50's Dragnet episodes are up on Youtube for free. Very noirish and darker LA scene, compared with the later 60's show.

In a book on Film Noir in my library, the author describes The Coens as having a similar outlook to Kubrick. Namely that they think that the human penchant for stupidity and cruelty is really, really funny. I think Kubrick was rather more serious than that, but when it comes to the Coens, that nails them.

Coconut Kamala Harris Endorses Communist Revolutionary and Epic Incompetent Karen Bass for LA Mayor; Claims Bass Has Reduced Crime and Homelessness
What? Did you say she reduced crime and homelessness?
This is the same nonsense they claimed with Biden. Crime exploded under Biden, but it cannot remain at all-time record levels year after year, so some years it will "decline," but from a historically elevated high, to another historically elevated high (but not a record high). And then they said: Biden reduced crime, bigots. Look it up. DC murders fell 8%. Yes down from historic murder levels not seen since the 80s -- yes, it fell off slightly from that grim bloody pace. And so Coconut Kamala now credits Bass with a "two year decline" in homelessness. Which, by the way, is pure bullshit in itself.Bass, a Democrat, is facing a challenge from Spencer Pratt, a Republican reality television star, as well as several other candidates from her own party. Harris announced her support for Bass on Monday. Polls show Bass with less than the required 50 percent support to avoid a runoff, with a significant portion of the electorate remaining undecided, so Harris' endorsement could carry weight among undecided Democrats. Harris praised Bass as the "leader Los Angeles needs right now," touting a decline in homelessness and crime. "Mayor Karen Bass is the leader Los Angeles needs right now. She has done what so many said couldn't be done -- the first ever two-year decline in homelessness, reducing crime to levels this city hasn't seen since the 1960s, and refusing to back down when the federal government came after our neighbors," Harris said in a statement. "She has my full support for re-election."Pratt is climbing in the polls. Adam Carolla said of him something like: "Yes, he's inexperienced, inexperienced at destroying Los Angeles, and I'll pick that inexperience over Karen Bass's tremendous experience at destroying Los Angeles." He's now at 11%, compared to Bass -- the serving mayor, remember -- at 26%. I'm glad Coconut Kamala endorsed Bass because the other alternative is a communist City Council retard named Nithya Raman who routinely blames the widespread theft of catalytic converters on auto companies for deliberately making them "too easy to steal." LA thieves are now drilling into people's gas tanks to steal their gas and I think I read she also blamed auto companies for not armoring their gas tanks. Any excuse she needs to avoiding blaming crime on, erm, criminals. Nithya Raman is at 9%. 40% are undecided. I like Coconut Kamala's endorsement because I want Bass to remain in the race. I fear that if she drops out, the insane communist Nithya Raman will win. I do not believe Bass has much of a chance to win. She is so hopelessly incompetent that even Democrats realize it. An incumbent Democrat who can only attract a quarter of the vote in LA is a disaster, obviously. Pratt claims that when you run as a "Democratic Socialist," as the retarded communist Nithya Raman is doing, you are required to sign a kind of loyalty oath "contract" with the DSA promising to "co-govern" with the DSA itself.

Bonus: California has effectively shut down its own oil production, despite being, theoretically, an oil-rich state. And now they're receiving their last shipment of Persian Gulf oil.
The last California-bound oil tanker to pass through the Strait of Hormuz since war erupted is at the Port of Long Beach offloading its valuable cargo -- 2 million barrels of crude destined to be transformed into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. The New Corolla loaded up in Iraq on Feb. 24 -- just days before U.S. and Israeli forces launched attacks on Iran, plunging the region into turmoil and sparking a double blockade of commercial shipping. In two weeks, the Hong Kong-flagged tanker will have fully unloaded at the Marathon Petroleum terminal and departed again for distant waters. After that, California must figure out how to replace some 200,000 barrels of oil a day that will no longer be arriving from the Persian Gulf.
Senator Suzette Valladares
@SenValladares California's last major oil shipment is here. After this, we're short about 200,000 barrels a day--and no one has explained the plan to replace it. @CAProblemSolver asked two weeks ago. Still nothing. You can't run the fifth-largest economy on "we'll figure it out."

We've just learned today that the DOJ served a subpoena to Fulton County on April 20th requesting the contact information of individuals (including contractors) who worked the Fulton election in 2020. In other words the FBI raided Fulton and seized evidence on January 28, 2026, and now 2 1/2 months later they are tracking down everyone involved.

I know people are all, "Trust the plan"ned out and all after Trump 1.0 where the DOJ dragged its feet until nothing happened...but...Trump 2.0 is not Trump 1.0.

President Trump is causing strains in the Obama's marriage. Barack's political activity, necessitated by OrangeManBad, is the culprit!
“It does create genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her. I’m more forgiving of it; I understand why people feel that way.”
However, Obama went defends himself from left-wing critics who still claim he’s not doing enough to counter Trump.
“No other ex-President was the main surrogate for the Party for four election cycles after they left office."
So, please, have some sympathy for the wookie.

Starting in 1980 through 1992.
Then homelessness was solved until it ballooned again at the end of 2000 through 2008.
2008 to 2016 saw homelessness solved again, until a short relapse from 2016 to 2020.
And all was well until 2024.
I wonder what changed during those relapse years? Hmmmmm.

CA gets its oil and a lot of gasoline from Asia and the Gulf. I have heard it speculated that the gasoline coming from China and other such places is actually Iranian oil, laundered through small refineries. With the gulf closed, the nearest source of oil for California is Alaska, what little pumping and refining is allowed in CA, and the Gulf of America.
Trump has waived the Jones act for 90 days, and may not be able to get that renewed, so there is not enough hulls allowed to transport from US to US ports under the Jones act without that waiver.

Because they are hand puppets for the shadowy set of assholes that put them in office. Same with the Biden junta or Prime Minister Starmer.
They use the talking dummy in front to distract the rubes while those in the shadows run the show and make generational wealth for themselves and the donors.
They are figureheads in office while the real power structure is hidden. Robert Dahl termed this junta as a deformed polyarchy when describing local politics in New Haven in the sixties. Since then the polyarchs have just being getting greedier and less caring of the electorate because cheating in big cities has created the illusion of elections with no actual choices being made by actual voters.

Start looking where your state's opiate settlement is going.
Look at your community, state giving programs. Read about every single recipient or potential, what they do, how they specifically manage funding, salaries, rap sheets, and so on.
Watch how money is dispensed through your Congressional representatives to state and community levels.
We have groups that are considered drug use enablers doling out our money in communities screaming they want the NP enablers out.
There's money going to other continents for what appears to be unrelated programs; money going to programs supporting illegal families embedded in areas immediately outside of major cities, etc.

Most people have given up on voting in local races. Turnout is rarely about 20 percent in places with off year elections and that is in part why politics is so rotten in urban areas.
Turnout in 2022 Mayor's race was actually pretty decent by municipal race standards, Registered voters, 2,120,515, Turnout 43.86%. How honest that election was with ballot harvesting, paid voters via giftcards and incentives, and fraud, I dunno.
My guess is about 10-20 percent fraud or illegally bought votes which is on the low side of cheat by mail elections.

One woman who voted for Bass last election and who said all you have to do is walk the streets to see that things are worse than they were 20 years ago, admitted that "the city has not got the right polices. They’re not working." That's the good news: she seems like someone who will no longer believe Bass when she tells voters not to believe their lying eyes. The bad news? She couldn't tell Savodnik that she definitely won't vote for Bass again this year.
She's one of the 40% of voters who, according to a new poll from UCLA, are still undecided about this race. Carl Cannon of RealClearPolitics explains that while Pratt, who is at 11% in the poll, is hoping that Raman and Bass will split the progressive vote, "they could still split and maybe beat him because there are so many liberals in Los Angeles."

First thing up is to junk the required Clean Air Act specialized fuels. Given all OBD-II cars don't benefit from the fuel blends anymore with modern smog engine computers and catalytic converters, this requirement for boutique fuels that are specific to non attainment areas should be junked.
That would allow gasoline to be sold wherever in the US rather than only in specific markets. It would also avoid the seasonal bump and price increases when refineries shifted over to winter blends and back again in summer.

Minnesota Fraud Investigator and Fomer State Trooper: Senior Tim Walz Officials Ordered Me to Illegally Bury Evidence of Rampant "Childcare" Fraud
Just forget what you leared about childcare fraud, they told him.
And we haven't even begun to dig into the greatest Fraud State in the world, California. A 2020 report warned Newsom in no uncertain terms that the state was left wide-open to hospice fraud, and Newsom did nothing, because, of course, the Party of Plunder exists solely to plunder and pillage from the hardworking normies.
A former state trooper who ran fraud investigations inside Minnesota's Department of Human Services told state lawmakers Tuesday that senior officials ordered him to delete findings, harassed his unit, and tried to shut down probes into what he now calls an organized criminal enterprise looting the state's public-benefit system. His testimony landed the same day federal agents raided more than 20 businesses in Minneapolis as part of a widening crackdown on suspected fraud in publicly funded childcare and nutrition programs. Jay Swanson, who led a DHS fraud investigations unit from 2014 to 2018, appeared before the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee with a blunt account of institutional failure. He described a pattern in which investigators flagged large-scale fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program, only to be met with hostility from the very officials who should have acted on the evidence. ... Swanson told the committee that his unit's work quickly put it on a collision course with DHS leadership. As the Daily Mail reported, Swanson said a senior DHS official confronted him directly over a document his team had prepared, and demanded that portions of it be removed. "I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry, red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs of the document. I then advised this official that I believed what they were telling me to do was illegal." Swanson did not name the official in the quoted testimony. But he made clear the pressure was not an isolated incident. He described a broader campaign against his investigators that went beyond bureaucratic friction. ... The former investigator also offered a broader assessment of what his team had uncovered, framing it as the beginning of something far larger than a few bad actors gaming a single program."As I look back with the benefit of 2020 hindsight, I realized that what our team saw was the early stages of a somewhat loosely organized criminal enterprise beginning to pillage Minnesota's public benefit system."One of Swanson's most striking claims concerned how widely known Minnesota's vulnerability had become. He told lawmakers that suspects his unit investigated said they had first learned about the fraud opportunity while still living abroad. As the New York Post reported, Swanson said investigators found it was common knowledge in Somali refugee camps in Kenya that Minnesota was the place to go."They had heard you could run the scam in a number of different states, but it was easiest, and you could make the most money doing it in Minnesota."That testimony aligns with separate sworn claims from another former DHS investigator, Scott Dexter. As Just the News reported, Dexter said his unit found evidence of large-scale fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program involving Somali-run daycare centers, but that investigations were narrowed or converted from law-enforcement cases to internal administrative matters because of political pressure and accusations of bias.

They see the government (and by extension, YOU) as an object to be looted for their own benefit.
In addition, they want you dead. It's not a contradiction, cause while they don't have the power to kill you, they'll settle for looting you for their own benefit. (Remember how much money the fraudsters "donated" to the Democrat Party and the Socialists in Minnesota.)

White progressives blame the black caucus for both Biden and Kamala. They openly talk about needing to sideline the black vote in primaries.
The thing is, they have to consolidate all of the not-black vote into one candidate, and that's not happening, especially when 30% of white Democrats support the same candidate as the black caucus.

Any organization, public or private, of any size would have in place an internal audit program. Otherwise, leadership couldn't trust their data enough to make good operating decisions.
Any state and federal regulatory agency would have on their radar any organization of any size to do periodic reviews/examinations to ensure they're following the rules, and they would REVIEW and COMMENT on the adequacy (or lack thereof) of the organization's internal audit program.
Lastly, the "Big" accounting firms willingly looked the other way and certified sets of books that were largely fictional.

This is why Somali immigrants can have both a low average IQ and also commit prolific fraud. They didn't need a clever plan to evade law enforcement, the evasion was done for them. And they didn't need to know much about the system they were defrauding, they were guided through the necessary steps by the people who ran the system. I look forward to discovering the way the skim was transferred to the politicians who made this happen.
Why were Somalis used for this? Maybe because they take naturally to thievery, and were beyond reproach as a protected class. Like cardboard cutouts otherwise.

The thing is, they have to consolidate all of the not-black vote into one candidate, and that's not happening, especially when 30% of white Democrats support the same candidate as the black caucus.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at May 05, 2026 03:03 PM (w4o6z)
If they had made the black caucus partners instead of sharecroppers on their grievance estate they wouldn't have to do any of that. And the same problem exists in the non racial college grad woke / commie / palestinian / islamist subgroups as well. They actually are zealots for the lies they have been told all these years.

Which gets entered as two $5k reimbursements, both to the Somali--one to the Somali's bank and one to the employee's dummy bank account.

That Florida rep who stole $5 million from FEMA tried it too.
She didn't have Omar's national profile, but she is a black woman who did obvious bad things and go no traction at all out of the racism card.
Omar's national profile will make it not a direct comparison, but I suspect that the DOJ, should they pursue charges (which I assume is the point of this whole thing) will have so much that they'll be able to bury her in 99% of courts. Fortunately, she won't be tried in DC.

It would entertain me.
But the chances of that are...very low.

Which is comical.
A more obvious answer that they sort of mention without much depth? Menopause. Its a big change and if you live with a definition of marriage that says you should only stick with marriage when it meets your specific immediate needs and then your needs change? Divorce.

Joe Biden's use of his uncle and son as his moneymen, while traditional, is comical. It doesn't make it any harder to find the bribes but I guess in the end it worked.
Romney for example had a non related minion charged with getting his money from Ukraine (he went with Hunter and Whitey Bulger's nephew)

They almost lost the Democrat primary in 2016 to a sacrificial lamb no one took seriously.
They lost completely control of the 2020 primary and had to settle with Biden (no, they hadn't decided on Biden early because of language around the impeachment, that's why they put money in Kamala, Warren, Buttigieg, and Beto before getting them all to drop out and let Biden take the nomination from Bernie, the actual frontrunner).
"But, they did 2024!" Yes, by having the guy who won the nomination quit and then handing everything over to his VP (despite supposed behind the scenes plans to do something else which was stupid on its face).
2028 will be like 2020 but without a Bernie.

It's social media poisoning the minds of every one of them. Instagram is to weak-willed women what porn is to weak-willed men. It can give you a false sense of what life (or sex) actually is, when in reality both of them are just a highlight reel of people being paid to do what they're doing and never showing the actual work behind the scenes or what it takes to have a healthy relationship IRL.

🚨 Minnesota had sent $67 million to nine daycare centers that were raided last week.
Funding for these nine providers more than doubled from 2023 to 2025—even though they reported serving roughly the same number of children.
KSTP requested this data back in December, but the state has refused to provide it. The records had to be obtained through Fraud Oversight Chair Rep. Kristin Robbins (R).

1) I shouldn't have to change anything about me or my habits to get a partner - men should find me and just love me for who I am!
2) It is normal to have fancy vacations, cool expensive events, and a constant party going on in your own personal life

It really is fascinating what he's doing.
The target cases are lay-ups--legally.
But, even allowing one to succeed opens the door to thousands more; proof of concept, as they say.
So it's forcing the left to deploy their full defenses, exposing their tactics.
The left has built up a de facto amnesty, that naturalization citizenship is a right if even a single toe touches American soil.
Not a privilege you have to earn and work to keep.
Trump is building a legal wall, case by case.
And the only hope they have is to keep it from being built until the Dems take over.

You believe the Bernie story on the surface, I believe that he was working for "them" to keep the Left, who hated the vile Hillary and would have had little interest, involved in the election.
Hence "America is tired of your emails" and hence Bernie giving all the valuable voter data they collected over to her campaign. Hillary could have never gotten those names and numbers by herself. Never.
These are things I said at the time, not hindsight. Predicting the future is very very hard but I have a clarity that drives my opinions and more often than not they bear fruit. I have said don't be so sure about Kamala but if by some chance she IS the nominee she will win because it means there is some cheat in effect.

Quote the post and timestamp it if that's exactly what I said, otherwise take it easy with the claims. I have been clear for about five years that Booty was "next" behind Kamala but that doesn't mean I think they are sticking with it now. Nor have I said so.
Trump being alive and winning in 2024 altered things. Not in a way that would make Kamala more likely but definitely in a way that would make Booty less so.
That said I *absolutely* believe he would be shoved in if they could.
I have not declared who it will definitely be, because who knows? I don't believe it will be a woman again and definitely not Kamala, that I've been pretty sure of.

[Just an anecdote:] I've had the good fortune to have had monogamous relationships with two beautiful women whose sex drives increased post-menopause.
I presume it's owing to the relief that they can no longer become impregnated ... but it could also be something hormonal (as their female hormones subside, I wonder of the lower male hormones become accentuated or dominant?). I could look it up but am too lazy ...

But the correlation here is different then they are trying to present it.
Higher status/wealthier men are more likely to get married and more likely to stay married.
And as you might expect higher status/wealthier men also live longer irrespective of whether they are married or not.

Hopefully investigations are expanding. There are many more states and U.S. territories to exam before some statute of limitations runs out or there's no one left to answer to massive fraud.
Key actions taken by US territories regarding Medicaid during the pandemic included:
Expansion of Coverage: Puerto Rico used increased funds to raise eligibility thresholds, adding thousands of new beneficiaries.
Provider Rate Increases: Territories, including Puerto Rico, utilized funds to increase payments to physicians and hospitals.
Service Enhancements: The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) implemented a personal care attendant (PCA) program and expanded hospice benefits.
Vaccine Coverage: Medicaid payments for COVID-19 vaccines during the emergency were exempted from the normal federal funding caps.
Funding Utilization: Territories saw 22% to 50% increases in federal funding to support health centers during the pandemic.

Woke Reich Lefties Ian Carroll, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Tuq'r Qarlson Join Coordinated Op to Merge the Far Left with the Woke Right
Their new op is decrying the artificial schism between communists and "the right" -- by which they mean national socialists -- and calling for communists and "the right" to merge and defeat the "real enemies," who are capitalists, normies, Christian Zionists, and, obviously, Jews.
This has been the op for two years. It is now so undeniable they're no longer denying it. It's now their open political ambition. The far left knows it cannot command a majority. After trying, and failing, to take over the conservative movement through psyops and subterfuge -- good old communist subversion, inversion, and demorailzation -- the Woke Reich now knows there is no path to power in the GOP or conservative movement. So they've decided to unite. Or, rather: they're now announcing their plan they've always been set on, uniting the most disgusting elements of the left and the pseudoright. Cavernous Nostrils called for "fixing the fracture" between the left and "right," and Nazi fan Ian Carroll immediately jumped on board. (Well, actually, this had been gamed out behind the scenes. They're trying to make the new op appear "organic.") Gal Sharpton was always on the left. She briefly pretended to "convert" to the right when she realized that a black female "right wing" grifter could make much, much more money than a been-there, done-than black female left-wing grifter. The same logic explains why full-left liberals like David French continue pretending they're "on the right." The money is better pretending to be on the right while agreeing with every single policy imperative of the far left. And now Gal Sharpton's campaigning for rightists (or people who falsely believe they're on the right) to join her in uniting with the left:
Green Beret Nap Time"Glizzed"? I've heard "glazed." I guess "glizzed" is the more sexually suggestive version of "glazed." I will use that.
@GBNT1952 Have you noticed how the Halal Right has shifted its messaging to push "coming together" with the left? In this clip they are talking about a new party. There won't be a new party. They are all full blown leftists and are uniting with the left and our enemies. Candace said it yesterday. So did the gay pizza delivery guy. Nick Fuentes has been saying it for a while. Shawn [Ryan] glizzed fat Cenk and literally didn't disagree with him once on his show because he's now also a gay race communist. If you don't see the op it's because you don't want to see it.
Oh, look y'all ... the memo is out ... the most divisive, destructive, dividing, gaslighting, doomer grifters on the planet are now going to bring us all together through love and harmony - 😂

While both the right populists and the left populists have a problem with the Corporatists, the solutions they present are not the same.
We need LESS government. Corporatists wouldn't be able to wield the power they do without the government. (See the COVID shutdowns- small business got destroyed while the large corporations all were allowed to continue business.)
Just because the populist left and right have problems with the "elite" doesn't mean they should join forces. When you join forces with people who have competing ideas of what a "solution" looks like, you end up with the reign of terror and thousands (probably millions today) dead.

Mussolini rejected that and argued you could have socialism in one country.

Horseshoe theory. But that is also problematic. Jerry Pournelle and later libertarians in the World's Smallest Ideological Quiz propose a two axis placement of ideology instead which fits empirical results better.
From wiki
"The x-axis, "Attitude toward the State" (labeled statism), refers to a political philosophy's attitude toward the state and centralized government. The furthest right is "state worship" and the furthest left represents the state as the "ultimate evil", preferring individual freedom.
The y-axis, "Attitude toward planned social progress" (labeled rationalism), refers to the extent which a political philosophy is compatible with the idea that social problems can be solved by the use of reason."

But with the pernicious intent of deceiving that "extremes" are the danger and the extreme left is really just extreme conservative; left is centrist.
It is not.
Reality is, governance is a scale of individual freedoms between anarchy and totalitarianism.
There is no "extremes meet" because they are and always have been on the same side of the scale.

How is Mills a phony Dem? She stood for every single thing the extreme left wanted. The only difference between her and Platner is that she doesn't have any NAZI tattoos...that we know of
Word is she has a tramp stamp, or auf deutsch:
(from google translate)
Arschgeweih is a German colloquial term, literally translating to "ass antlers," used to describe a popular 1990s and early 2000s lower-back tattoo. It refers to symmetrical tribal or floral designs positioned above the tailbone, often called a "tramp stamp" in English. The term became cultural shorthand for this trend, which fell out of fashion later.

The retarded "circle" ignores consideration of individual freedoms.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
And that is why political philosophy ignores the concept. Instead, there are various forms of charting ideology via at several axis using a core value. See Nominate Scores for example rather than the pawltry cherry picked scorecards used by interest groups. You can get good information from scorecards if you aggregate them but by themselves as individual scorecards, they are pretty useless.

Guy knew his political theory and worked to get Sam Yorty, probably the last good mayor of LA, elected.
He always mentioned a key book, very readable btw, by C. Northcote Parkinson (of Parkinson's Law--"The number of workers within public administration tends to grow, regardless of the amount of work to be done." You can still buy an out of print copy--The Evolution of Political Thought. Dry, sarcastic, and a very good summary of the past political theory of the past.
Parkinson later wrote novels, in part, to escape the 1970's pessimism I guess from his career in analyzing political theory and its future application in society.

Past echoes to the present. Dialectical Leninism used a variant of it and thus the commies brought it into today. That is why they never value the present or past.
If you read some of the literature by the troon, feminism, or whateve movement for example, they regard it as self evident that everyone is born a blank slate and society warps them inevitably so we must destroy it.
E.g. If we want Iran to be peaceful, then all we have to do is think happy thoughts about it and shovel them money to make them happy. Empiricism is NOT viewed as compatible with rationalism from first principles on the left but is why Pournelle combines this axis with another regarding the state.
Pournelle is not talking about logic here, but the philosophy of rationalism. From another approach, Terry Guillam's "Adventures of Baron von Munchausen" demonstrates the absurdities of believing that one can think something into existence and ignore reality that contradicts one's thought.

I think that "horseshoe theory" is an artifact of oversimplification.

Flattening three dimensions into two is already so bad as to make the comprehensible not; flattening n into one is just ridiculous.

Pure communism is just another lie, so pretending it lies anywhere on a political spectrum "past" totalitarianism is just yet another lie. As is that anarchy is an extension of the conservative ideas of religion, morals, and limited government.

That was a big part, also Jews refuse to blend in, they are always distinct. A polite part of culture, but dress and behave differently, ass God told them to. That makes them stand out and ignorant people can easily choose them as the enemy.
But those things are about the past. You can identify them as the causes of Jew-hate up to around 1950. These days? I figure its just billions of dollars of propaganda and pressure on culture by Muslims who hate Jews religiously - literally its part of their religion.

Not really if you can use it as the basis for prediction. Nominate scores have been used as such and are quite accurate in predicting legislative and now judicial voting behavior.
That is where positing infinite space ultimately is self defeating--same reason we use Newton's laws as the basis of engineering even though they are a simplication of reality.

The political positions of Donald Trump are largely the opposite of those actually implemented by the Clinton administration in the 1990s, though not as far from those claimed by Bill when he was running for president.

First off, Gal Sharpton is a great name, gotta remember that one.
Second, David French is much worse than the others to me. He's not just a grifter, he's trying to use the Bible, to use Christianity to support these evils and this insanity. Like John Piper, he uses empathy for his arguments, but he goes far further than Piper in not just opposing what he dislikes on the right to openly endorsing the left based on sophistry and twisting Biblical teachings.
Its diabolical in the most literal terms.

I voted for Trump the first time because I hoped he would burn the Republican party to the ground and something better might be born from it.
He didn't and though he certainly has done things that other politicians only talk about doing, much of the core problems within our country have remained the same.
And one of those core problems IS that both sides are played against each other; both sides project their own sins onto the other, act from this ignorance, and so no real, meaningful, lasting change occurs. We just get reactive pendulums that do little to change the status quo.
Democrat voters are not the enemies of Republican voters. They are a mirror. The more grotesque we look in each others eyes says more about us as viewers than us as viewed.
Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens might be bad faith grifters but they are only symptoms, not the disease. I don't care that they are spergs trying to become the sperg queens. Two wings. Same bird. It doesn't take many election cycles to figure this shit out.

To me, this is the most fascinating piece of the Trump phenomenon. If the left just made mouth noises about being able to work with a New York real estate baron with whom they were ALL friendly, he'd have given them a solid 40% of what they wanted and we'd be here bitching about what a squish Trump is.
Instead, they debanked his family and tried to kill him, so now this is happening.
The left could have gotten damn near everything they wanted but their ego wouldn't permit it.

Back in the 40's and 50's, political scientists were broadly read in the discipline including public administration. By the late 60's, people began specialization due to the necessity of behavioralism requiring computers and math to do the survey analysis correctly. That moved right into the use of econometrics and game theoretical models by the 80's and 90's. Those that could not do math or logic became the swamp of 'studies'--gender, race, etc. And those commies ate the field eventually.

Not just Muslims. Left Wingers have always had a solid stripe of Jew hatred due to their implantation in East Europe where the populations were higher. And its always a big seller to the disgruntled to offer to overturn the lender, the landlord, and the law.
And part of refusing to blend in was often Jews were required to wear identifying clothes by law. And stay in parts of the cities. It was often useful for the upper strata to have someone who would be rioted against before themselves.

They don't. Some are gay for pay, others because they have mental problems. Subcultures like the Woke Reich often become echo chambers like Bluesky for the left that are even much more conformist than they allege the broader culture is.
Like the left, the Woke Reich use 'magic' spells containing the magic invocation of Epstein, Jews, Capitalism, Constitution, etc. that are supposed to overawe and befuddle their political opponents.
But there is no logic nor empirical support to their endless Texas Sharpshooter fallacies because at heart, they don't even believe much of the claptrap they spout.

It wasn't recent, and it wasn't long lived. 19 years, start to finish.
It was a brief blip starting in 1948 when Stalin was the first leader to recognize Israel. But Israel kept consistently failing to go Communist. Then after 1967, the US invited Israel into its coalition, and the American Left instantly reverted to form.
And I mean instantly. An American Communist Fulbright Scholar from UCLA was killed fighting for the fedayeen in 1970, by which time every right-thinking Leftist in the country had denounced the Zionist Entity.
The only thing that's changed recently is that Dem politicians have finally quit pandering for Jewish money, from fear of their base.

Alphas are just one part of three kinds of apex males (along with "right-hand man" bravos and "lone wolf" sigmas); and then after the mass of steady deltas, there's "secret king" gammas, outcast omegas, and gay lambdas.

My mom -- a Catholic Democrat at the time -- campaigned for JFK and was most distraught after his assassination (although I was only two years old at the time).
Anyway, the first book she ever bought for me to read was "Profiles in Courage" -- for which he won the Pulitzer -- which I greatly enjoyed and admired.
Being cast way too cynical during and after the 90s owing to the Clinton Crime Syndicate, I suppose I was not surprised -- but was disappointed -- to learn in 2008 that it was largely ghostwritten by his speechwriter, Ted Sorensen.

To be honest, there wasn't much difference between Ike Republicanism and JFK. Nixon and JFK's debates were about trivialities like Quemoy and Matsu that were important at the time to the elites, but indecipherable to the public.
The GOP establishment was firmly pro globalism as part of its anti communism stance and was quite liberal on race issues, moreso than Democrats at the time. Taft against Ike in 1952 never had a chance and Dewey was a liberal GOP member in the mold of someone like Hoover.
GOP was founded as a progressive party after all, not a particularly conservative one.

I briefly was interested in that CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, because he was spilling the beans on all the right people. The dude actually HATES Obama, the Clintons, Brennan, Kerry etc, and had lots to say about them all, and none of it good.
Then I quickly came to my senses. He's an anti-semitic grifter who would love to see Israel burned to the ground, he does fawning interviews with Cucker Tarleson and that commie asswipe cartoonist Ted Rall, and he rather proudly admits to having his YT channel financed by the Russians because "they pay me". He came right out and said it during an interview with that other YT CIA grifter Bustamante.
I rather suspect that he's involved in this Woke Right/Left op.

Supreme Court Grants Motion to Immediately Finalize Gerrymander Decision, Allowing Lousiana to Implement It Now
I guess there's some period of time that usually passes after a decision is announced until it is considered implementable law -- thirty two days before it is "reported" to the lower court.
But this is just a general practice, not a firm rule. The Court has adjusted this clock before when justice demanded it. The Supreme Court granted Louisiana's motion to speed up that clock and finalize the decision immediately.The Supreme Court on Monday night granted a request to immediately finalize its opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, in which it struck down that state's congressional map, to allow Louisiana to draw a new map in time for the 2026 elections. That map is expected to favor Republicans, who currently hold four of the state's six seats in the U.S. House of Representatives but could pick up one or even two more under a revised map.Was it justified to speed up the clock? Yes, for two reasons. 1, the racially discriminatory maps are unconstitutional right now. Not in two years, right now. The citizens of Louisiana are living under racist congressional maps right now. And what's the left's favorite propaganda slogan...? "Justice delayed is justice denied." 2, we now have almost complete confirmation of the rumor that Obama hack Kagan deliberately dragged her heels on submitting her dissent not because she needed seven months to perfectly craft it, but specifically to avoid the ruling taking effect a half year ago, giving southern states plenty of time to adjust without having to scramble right before voting began. Because it's now revealed that the Supreme Court "conferenced" the case seven months ago -- meaning they debated and voted on the decision. But Kagan needed Moar Time to craft her perfect dissent.
The first Alito footnote is notable: he says the original case was conferenced 7 months ago. That says there’s more than a little smoke to the rumors the liberal justices drug their feel to impact the midterms, and now Jackson is throwing a fit the majority is fixing that delay https://t.co/HIa4creaiD

Justices Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas just PUMMELED Ketanji Jackson's dissent, calling it "trivial at best, and the other is baseless and INSULTING" 🔥🔥 Jackson basically ATTACKED the majority, and argued Louisiana should be required to use an *unconstitutional* racially gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterms -- directly against the majority ruling. Alito didn't take too kindly to that: "The dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents an unprincipled use of power...that is a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge." "What principle has the Court violated? The principle that Rule 45.3's 32-day default period should never be shortened even when there is good reason to do so? The principle that we should never take any action that might unjustifiably be criticized as partisan?" "The dissent accuses the Court of 'unshackl[ing] itself from 'constraints...' It is the DISSENT'S rhetoric that lacks restraint." "The dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered. The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional." "The dissent does not claim that it is now too late for the state legislature or the District Court to adopt a new map that complies with the Constitution." "Nor does the dissent assert that it is not feasible for the elections to be held under such a map. Instead, the dissent offers two reasons for its proposed course of action." "One is trivial at best, and the other is baseless and insulting." Gorsuch signed onto this as well.
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke 15h There was a routine Supreme Court procedural order today not to delay fixing Louisiana's unconstitutional gerrymander. Normally these things are handled quietly without revealing who thought what but this time was different because Jackson insisted on writing a bizarre diatribe, which prompted Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch to respond. And they did not hold back. They described her claims as "baseless and insulting" and "groundless and utterly irresponsible." They really, really cannot stand her. What really says it all is that the other liberals would not touch it, let alone join Jackson or defend her. She is simply too embarrassing even for them to sign onto. Also interesting, but not surprising, that Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett sat this one out, as usual, because they are too timid to call out someone who, by any sane standard, should not be anywhere near a judge's chambers, especially not this one.

She's stupid, opinionated, loud, and genuinely unpleasant by all accounts.
If Biden had put someone halfway smart, there'd be one more loyal vote for the left but who can actually make an argument.
At best, Jackson will be a non-entity, the equivalent of putting a simple machine that goes only asks if good for Dem party or not as the reasoning. At worst, she's going to argue so badly that it'll help keep the right part of the court unified.

It was completely not needed except to say one thing:
We are tired of your bullshit and your lies.
Not only does it confirm that the Left Bloc were dragging their feet to draft their dissent, it confirms another thing:
The majority had acceded to demands--and promises--of the Left Bloc to take the highly unusual step of ordering additional argument and briefing.
I don't know what lies and promises the Left Bloc made, but they convinced the majority they were acting in good faith 7 months ago.
The footnote makes it clear they have burned all their credibility and good will.
Especially Jackson.
Every Justice, but Roberts, has now written a specific response to attacks by Jackson.

Kagan et al are taking advantage of the comity of the court, and the rest of the court are figuring it out.
The only thing holding back Thomas and Alito from demanding such things is Roberts who controls calendars.
I think it's most noteworthy, though, that Gorsuch signed onto the opinion by Alito.

And it is illegal power. Built on unconstitutional rules.
And when the Court rules that ballots cannot be counted after Election Day, expect more.
Note:
In her frothing dissent, Jackson defines "election" as starting as soon as ballots are sent out--and we can't change the rules in the middle of an election, she whines.
But in VA, the Dems are arguing that "election" means only when the votes are fully counted--after election day.

The entire federal bench is GAY AF for this kind of nonsense, reflecting the class aspirations of the kind of mid-wits who become lawyers these days.
Federal judges still cannot shut the fuck up about Hamilton, like a bunch of Millennials who've only ever read Harry Potter and have made it their touchstone for discussing anything and everything.
Judge Ho, a conservative on the Fifth Circuit, littered an opinion with Hamilton references, for example. You know, because that's a sober way to write a judicial opinion and spend the limited time and resources of a federal appellate court.

It's not racist to stuff blacks into districts where they can't vote for any other candidate except a Democrat.

That's literally several of minority-majority districts.
Also, those districts segregated blacks from the greater American governance--they have no say in or appeal to the rest of America.
And they eradicated any moderate or centrist Dems in the South because, instead of having to appeal to the general constituency and changing voting patterns of the state as a whole, they were safely cocooned inside illegal bubbles of blue.

I don't think it's so much that. Christ does not demand zealotry. Demons do.
When pushed - the world and in particular Satan and his minions - is going to find that there is no one more firm or certain in their belief than those in Christ the Lord.
Communists and Islamists mistake the "tolerance" level of Christians for many assorted levels of their constant streams of bullshit insult and injustice, for weakness and a faint heart, as opposed to a fealty and will they could never dream up let alone imitate or understand. By the time they feel its force, it will be too late.

I seem to remember CA breaking a law or two in getting their maps to the voters, and SCOTUS signed off on it 9-0.
Best case at SCOTUS challening it would be a 5-4 decision supporting it (Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh in the minority).

The NAACP is still nothing more than a commie cocksucker Donk organization who only exists as a means of controlling Black Americans by white leftists.

Rule of Four. Got to have four justices willing to hear a case and then there is the whole strategy around defensive denials. The whole federal courts muddle on the right comes from the wishy washy application of constitutional principles like equal protection clause to the nasty business of election law and process. Same problem with firearm laws. How much 'federal' should the rulings on processes and law be versus states.
I don't particularly think that most of the justices really want to be state supervisors of elections so they naturally defer on a lot of state based crap that they really shouldn't. Like states not following their own laws in cases involving federal elections should technically result in reversals by federal courts.
But the fact that these often occur most in blue states with blue state judges picked via the blue slip veto by Democrat senators, you get cases with bad facts and little to go by to reverse at higher appellate court levels.

Why are they so desperate to hold that single, illegal, extra seat?
Folks don't understand how extremely perfected gerrymandering has become.
I posted it before but Rs flipped 8 seats in 2024.
In what would have been, 20+ years ago, a wave election that would have seen 20-40 House seats flip.
That is how precise, and how far, Dems have pushed the limit of gerrymandering--so many seats are safe even in a wave.
But that cuts the other way--Rs are isolated in blue states to such safe districts, they can't flip them in a blue wave either.
4 of those flipped in 2024 were by less than 2%. All of those incumbents are running.
All the "conventional wisdom" of 2026, that the party out-of-power loses seats never answers "which seats?"

Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. and Beretta Holding S.A. have announced a strategic cooperation agreement.
This collaboration began last year as a contentious disagreement between the two companies—as of last March, Beretta Holding S.A., the Luxembourg-based parent of the iconic Italian gunmaker Beretta, had amassed a 9.95 percent stake in Ruger.
The shared agreement will allow Beretta to increase its ownership of Ruger to up to 25 percent of the company’s outstanding shares (NYSE: RGR). According to the press release, the minimum partial tender offer price shall be $44.80 per share in cash.
Beretta had been promoting four individuals for seats on the Ruger board. But, according to this agreement, Beretta will “nominate up to two independent directors following the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and regulatory approval.

Parliament gave that power up because they found it useless themselves. Framers were mixed on it due to the Convention occurring while the famous failed impeachment trial of Hastings was going on in Parliament. That went on for years before it finally ended in failure.
With a unitary executive that could fire and hire who they wanted, the only thing impeachment could really be aimed at was the President and VP, despite early attempts to use it (Sen. Blount) for senators and later for a Supreme Court justice, Chase, that they hated. Both of those impeachments failed. It only worked on lower court judges like one that went literally insane, and for those that were convicted of crimes.
The major flaw in the Founder's thinking was the universal approbation of political parties but yet these same gentlemen promptly created a party system that is literally extra-constitutional and to have expected otherwise was foolish as a matter of history and political theory (see Why Parties by Aldrich).

Had not the Scotus before the Civil War interpreted the privileges and immunities provision in the US Constitution properly, there was no need for it. But they didn't, in part because slavery became THE issue for the roughly 50 years before the Civil War. Simply put, privileges and immunities should have been interpreted as the Rights of Englishmen encoded via common law at the time of Independence. And that no state could deny such to its citizens nor legitimate travelers going through the state. The Marshall court ignored rights of citizens for the most part and Barron v. Baltimore refused to apply the Bill of Rights to the states. Taney was no friend of civil rights and liberties either. So we had a civil war because the branches could not come to an agreement to end slavery which contradicted our own statements on independence.
The Court in Slaughterhouse and Cruikshank promptly shat on the duplicative and clear language imposing the privileges and immunities clause in the 14th on states as well when they had the chance.

Will Chamberlain is a darkly unintentionally humorous member of the Legal Cult. "Progressive jurisprudence discredited for a generation". Every word and concept of that idiotic sentence is ridiculous.
As if dim totalitarians ("progressives") can be "discredited" when their entire schtick is just ruthless pursuit of power and control for its own sake or to impose their vile racist or ideological atrocities. And as if the little Stalinist oblast secretaries being churned out by law schools would understand or care about actual constitutional principles or intellectual standards or cultural norms.
With enough bad breaks, there will be a lone justice with any meaningfully American or non-totalitarian/racist mindset ignored and abused by the mindless Revolutionary Command Council majority on the court as it completes the evisceration of the former constitutional system. Legal Cult cultists are among the dumbest of the non-elite elites.

That was sort of a revived amendment after being dead from Cruikshank and later Miller decisions.
Explicitly in the 14th Amendment discussions, the right of having firearms was mentioned as part of the privileges and immunities clause (see the English Bill of Rights of 1689 as the origin).
Thomas noted it early on and has publicly hated on Cruikshank and Slaughterhouse cases for eviscerating the application of the Bill of Rights to the states intended by the privileges and immunities clause in the 14th. Instead, when the court got around to it this century, they used the ridiculous due process approach and selective incorporation of parts of the Bill of Rights to the states instead of incorporating the whole thing.
And that is because too many of the elites on the court after the turn of the century disfavored citizens owning firearms as they saw average people as causing mayhem and death needlessly in criminal cases.
The Sullivan acts of New York should never had been allowed to be constitutional in the first place.

You now, if Black people wanted to get more blacks elected, maybe they should become republicans? We are perfectly fine with electing black people to office. That is the funny part here - dems want to gerrymander their states along party lines, and so do republicans. The problem is black people vote 80-90% D, hence they lose seats in republican states. The Ds call this racist, but what the Ds just want more seats. They don't give a crap about black people and never have.
Again, simple solution, more blacks become republican.

I don't know. He's enough of an institutionalist to actually believe the lie. It's possible.
I was at a luncheon where the Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit spoke (not an impressive figure), and she too trumpeted how non-partisan the federal judiciary is based on how often they all vote together despite who appointed them (something that is more attributable to the weight of existing precedent, the role/status of intermediate appellate judges within the judicial hierarchy, and shared class culture - upper middle class with aspirations, than to lack of political difference between the parties). Federal judges are both so lacking in self-awareness and egocentric enough to believe such myths as the apolitical judiciary (apart from a few bad apples). Kind of like how it takes higher education and fancy degrees to believe certain kinds of nonsense.

"Fugacity" is equivalent of "activity," but for gases. Activity is the thermodynamically effective or apparent concentration of a component in solution relative to some reference state; it has the units of concentration. I think fugacity is expressed as units of gas pressure (it's been a while). In both cases, the values can be represented by a coefficient, a dimensionless number. E.g., multiply actual concentration by an activity coefficient, and you get activity, the thermodynamically apparent concentration. Actual gas pressure times fugacity coefficient gives apparent/effective gas pressure.

I am not as pessimistic as that. History is never a straight line progression as it depends on the unpredictable individuals and actions in the future when an existential crisis appears.
Simply put, regimes have to fit the citizenry and society they exist in. When there is a mismatch, you get dysfunction and it is primarily because of the 'elites' in society more than the rank and file.
The rank and file are recruited by elites during fights with other elites.
John Adams really should be considered higher than James Madison on the scale of political philosopher. His superb 3 volume Defense of the Constitutions of the United States completed just prior to the constitutional convention is an overlooked work of a serious scholar of constitutional law and philosophy.
And since he more or less ghostwrote the Massachusetts state constitution post independence, he knew both the practicalities and problems of practice applying theory.

Scary. Eventually as more are in operation, there will be two in approximately the same location, on an interstate in the same direction.

They will both run at the speed limit in their GPS database, making passing impossible. No. Thanks.

Thomas is on record for decades now, that he wants to overturn Slaughterhouse.
I think that will be his grand farewell majority opinion.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
======
Slaughterhouse is a perfect example of bad facts in the case were compounded by Scotus. Essentially a group of independent butchers did not want to use the mandated state slaughterhouse for meat packing. New Orleans had had multiple times where the offal from the animals was discarded in the river above where the city got its drinking water from. So you got nasty diseases from drinking the water.
The independent butchers were challenging (which goes back to Dr. Bonham's case), the Louisiana legislature creating a monopoly by state action and claiming they had a right to pursue an occupation that the state was hindering by requiring them to use the state slaughterhouse that put its sewage downstream of the drinking water taps for New Orleans.
I would actually use Cruikshank to overturn the privileges and immunities clause jurisprudence. Better facts there. Cruikshank involved blacks and GOP trying to protect the courthouse and voting from Southern Democrat racists. Race riot occurred.

The Morning Rant
Ayres and Slaughter estimate that Democrats are 13 percentage points “less likely than Republicans to hold qualifying registration documents” in New Mexico. And while Ayres and Slaughter estimate the passage of the SAVE America Act would only have “modest” consequences for the midterms because those currently registered to vote would be “unaffected,” “as more people would need to register after moving, changing their names or reaching voting age, this document shortfall could flip New Mexico to an electorate where Republicans have a 3.3-percentage-point advantage.”
They are buying into the nonsense that poor people and people of color and non-binary trans-women and downtrodden housewives simply can't get the vital documents to prove they are citizens. No...not "buying into," but purposefully obfuscating so their donors in the GOPe don't get too frustrated by the threats to their labor force...wetbacks and non-citizen guest workers, many of whom vote. The correct headline should read:
WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Are Not Citizens
Everybody with a pulse and a few functioning neurons knows that's the case, but Conservative Inc. can't seem to admit it. Rushing out articles debunking the Democrat lies about the difficulty of access to basic documentation is allowing the Democrat/Progressive cabal to control the narrative. The issue is not documentation access...it is that illegals are voting. That's it. Nothing else matters. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

Pretty much. Our upper crust left and right go to the same schools, attend the same social events, share the same tastes, and that is to be pseudo aristocrats complete with privileges. But to do that in the US requires money, not having the right ancestors. So they use the right's money to get where they are and then sell out for generational wealth and access to the pseudo aristocracy.
The current 'woke' right podcasters are a perfect example--they view their audience as rubes to be fooled, tricked, and defrauded just like any other con man would.
After all, some of them did that gig for the real media back in the day and got paid for it, so why not repeat the con in a new arena.

Townhome sales in the Charlotte area.
https://is.gd/Deb6XZ
"Townhome sales plummeted nearly 14% compared to this time last year, while listings increased 18.9% to just over 2,000 in March."
"Charlotte’s overall home sales also saw one of the steepest slides in the country, falling 7.6% in March.
Part of that can be blamed on an unusually snowy February, pushing closings back."
"“We’ve also seen job growth slow down during the first few months of 2026 across most sectors except professional services,” McShane says. “That could be keeping some middle-income buyers on the sidelines.”"

The older Bush era GOP desperately wants to get back to selling the US to the world's worst countries and inviting the world for their WEF buddies worldwide who are doing the same shit to their countries.
And these globalist cloud people despise and hate the common people in their countries much more than they hate and despise their nominal political opponents like the Dems/Labour/Social Democrats etc.
The US Senate is the keystone to the Uniparty establishment much more than the House and the fact that its members are got filthy rich by selling their votes and enriching their entire families like crime bosses, indicate why old timers don't want the party to ever stop.

I prefer not to have a civil war because the wrong assholes die--it is never the leaders nowadays that get their just deserts as they flit off to safe places and avoid leading from the front. The old real aristocracy, did not have that disadvantage, they were required to lead from the front (at least the males did).
I prefer Bukele's solution--mass incarceration of their pets until death do they part with prison. And these elites and their bootlickers should be impoverished and imprisoned on an wholesale basis using the very tools they used to oppress the people--NSA intercepts, financial intercepts, etc.
The evidence is there of clear betrayals of the people of the US (and most Western countries) because to coordinate these criminal actions, they must communicate and must be able to exchange money. That is the Achilles heel of the global society and any real conspiracy--the need to communicate and move money around.

Just a bit further backstory:
Animal Farm was independently produced, shown to distributors, and no one bought it. Eventually, Angel Studios bought the distribution rights, probably at a cheap price because everyone else had passed.
It also probably has something to do with how Serkis is in Angel Studio's actual production coming out this year, Young Washington.

There are two possible explanations for this:
1) Fraud - people betting with insider info or people using Polymarket to launder money
2) Someone has a bot net that locks for poorly bet scenarios and then just uses that: eg if one bet should be 60-40 but it is currently at 80-20 you come in and bet on the lower probability event.

It's just people seem to be thinking that Angel was instrumental in the film creatively. They're really just a distributor.

It is a rather stupid branding mistake if the studio wants to be a continuing operation. Same reason that Disney back in the 80's put its PG and R movies under a different studio name.

Egg Foo Young?
Chicken Chow Mein?
Hot and Sour Soup?
None of the above.
Your answer will probably depend on where you live in the world. Those inside China would probably argue that none of those dishes resemble anything from a traditional Chinese menu.
But others might disagree.
For them, the idea of "western Chinese food" isn't an oxymoron, it's a genuine style of cuisine primarily developed by generations of Chinese immigrants to the United States.
Now, one restaurant in Shanghai is trying to bring American Chinese food back to China.

The leftwing answer to this is to bring up Jews in WWII.
But almost all refugees in the US are fleeing traditional kleptocracies. If a person is going to succeed in the US they will most likely succeed back home too.
But most immigrants/refugees just go on welfare which doesn't exist back home. And you can see this in practice - Trump has deported 2M+ illegals and America hasn't lost a million jobs over that time has it?

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[1][2]
Some states* have enacted laws requiring individuals to provide proof of citizenship at the time of voter registration or if there are questions regarding their citizenship status.
*A very few have an actual process.

Can't we just trade Minnesota for Alberta?
I can't say everyone would be better off, because both Minnesota and Canada would be worse off, but they'd be getting what they want, good and hard.

Played on more Blue Note sessions than any other guitar player. He could play it all: bop, post-bop, soul jazz, big band, but he really excelled at Jazz-Blues. Lots of great LPs like Matador, Iron City, Green Street, Idle Moments, Grantstand.
And he really ripped it up, playing lots of single line stuff like a rock guy. Check him out, check him outers.

That there are no blues guitarists on that list is itself a travesty, given that the rock musicians "stole" a lot of their licks from the blues guys (which Clapton freely admits).
And what about Chuck Berry? Would "rock guitarist" even be a job category if he had not made flashy guitar playing a popular thing?

"John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison traded guitar solos during the track "The End". This iconic sequence features George Harrison playing the first solo, followed by Paul McCartney, and finally John Lennon, who delivered a "funky, dirty" lead performance described by McCartney as sounding like a "dog barking."

It'll stand.
I think there's a way to get it to SCOTUS, but if that happened, all the recent SCOTUS decisions about procedure on redistricting have just allowed the state's to have their way (it's why the CA and TX cases both bowed to the wills of the state governments).
There'd need to be some kind of new case brought to challenge it under Callais, if that's what you're thinking, and even then I think the new map actually would fit post-Gingles jurisprudence better than the old map. They actually broke up a couple of black districts to get the new map.

Beretta Holding and Ruger Agree to Partnership
by FRANK MINITER posted on May 4, 2026
NEWS, ARMED CITIZEN
Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. and Beretta Holding S.A. have announced a strategic cooperation agreement.
This collaboration began last year as a contentious disagreement between the two companies—as of last March, Beretta Holding S.A., the Luxembourg-based parent of the iconic Italian gunmaker Beretta, had amassed a 9.95 percent stake in Ruger.
The shared agreement will allow Beretta to increase its ownership of Ruger to up to 25 percent of the company’s outstanding shares (NYSE: RGR). According to the press release, the minimum partial tender offer price shall be $44.80 per share in cash.
Beretta had been promoting four individuals for seats on the Ruger board. But, according to this agreement, Beretta will “nominate up to two independent directors following the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and regulatory approval.

Objection: Facts not in Evidence.
None of what you said represents statements by Trump. Neocons plan to invade and change the government internally, Trump is doing punitive expeditions to keep them from getting nukes.
That is what this is about-the Iranians were gloating that they had enough enriched uranium for 11 nukes and missiles to deliver them.
And they told us that in the negotiations after we went after their nuke program.

I'm afraid this is unavoidable. A lot of people do not take the long view or understand the broader picture. President Trump is singlehandedly administering correctives for 47+ years of disastrous American foreign policy toward Iran, 54+ years of the same toward China, and Cuba, and South America, as well as the utter lawlessness of the Obama and Biden administrations regarding illegal immigration among other things. The more advanced the disease the more painful the treatment. So there are people freaking out without understanding why we are where we are, and that corrections can bring short-term discomfort.

Real, both party monitoring of the counting process.
Mandatory paper ballots.
All ballots are to be serialized, watermarked, and have a QR or barcode to eliminate mystery extra ballots.
All ballots must be accounted for.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY: Anybody caught voting illegally or otherwise tampering with the vote/talley gets a minimum of 10 years in federal prison - after the horrifying 2 weeks in the barrel.

The IRT Third Avenue Line, commonly known as the Third Avenue Elevated, Third Avenue El, or Bronx El, was an elevated railway in Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City. Originally operated by the New York Elevated Railway.
Big Govt bought it and closed it down, much like Liawatha closed down Spearit Airlines.

That reminds me of a professor at Berkeley -- he specialized in computational chemistry -- who introduced himself to his Quantum Chemistry class thuswise: "Hello, I am Professor ___. My research interests are systems where the number of particles are less than or equal to one. If systems with more that one particle are of interest to you, then you should enroll in Professor ___'s class."

Now, with this judgment, there was a harsh rebuke of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, where Justice Alito, in an academic tone, essentially called her a reckless clown who doesn’t understand the law. We’ve seen a similar attitude on the liberal side as well, with Justices Kagan or Sotomayor disagreeing with the majority but avoiding Jackson’s dissents since they usually don’t make much sense.

[T]here was an unspoken baseline that, for the highest court in the land, and really the world, you could appoint ideological opposites, but you did not cheapen the institution by lowering the intellectual bar.
But the autopen removed that baseline, and with it degraded the level of discourse and eroded the professional respect that made those relationships possible in the first place. So for someone who has spent two decades on the Court, that has to be very painful to watch, seeing an institution slide into idiocracy and performative nonsense.

We’ve seen a similar attitude on the liberal side as well, with Justices Kagan or Sotomayor disagreeing with the majority but avoiding Jackson’s dissents since they usually don’t make much sense.

Passer-by, Aphrodisios is my name; I'm a citizen of Alexandria Troas and a leader of the chorus. I die a most pathetic death because of my wife, the dirty adulteress (whom Zeus will destroy). Her secret lover, Lychon—a member of my own family!—slaughtered me, still in my youth. He threw me from the heights like a discus. I was twenty years old, so full of beauty, when the Moirai spun my fate and sent me as a delight to Hades.

Someone on the X mentioned it is also possible that he is simply reading a script.
It has often been noted that Tucker relied on others to write his scripts for his shows on Fox.
Same as ghostwriters for biographies where they spike the controversy factor for bucks.
A lot of these podcasters rely on 'talent management' companies that do the hard work in packaging the ads, ensuring compliance with various laws, booking guest, etc. where the 'talent' is simply the newsreader on the cast. And curiously enough for people that track them, people using the same management companies tend to swim in the same direction on their podcasts.
The old media manufactured objectivity is now viewed as dead but that trust has simply been put now on podcasters who do the same damn trick.

John French Sloan
Like this painting a great deal - it actually reminded me of Chicago quite a few years ago - though I'd pass hanging it unless it was a set (see article below) of Sloan's painting.
>It Might Be Art Organization, The Poetry of Everyday Life: John Sloan’s New York Paintings, April 25, 2023
A lovely article that begins,
"John Sloan is known for his unflinching eye. His New York could be transcendent, full of heartbreaking moments, like the sunset captured in his 1906 painting, “Sunset, West Twenty-Third Street.” Sloan’s New York could also be a dark, hard place.
Some of my favorite Sloan paintings capture those small moments of joy, or pleasure, that creep up on us, moments that overtake us, in an ecstasy that takes us out of our present.
Others, like his painting of the bar at McSorley’s, freeze the flow of ordinary time. Frozen, in paint, the moment becomes monumental. Even the most ordinary moments and gestures, revealed like this, carry a heft, and dignity, that render them both solemn, and sad."
(More followed, reading all suggested.)
A nice art selection for a Tuesday. Thanks.

Michigan trial attorney and Democratic fundraiser Kelly Neumann, the co-chairwoman of Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow’s campaign, threatened the Free Beacon with “legal action” unless we retract our story about her Veterans Day Facebook post honoring her grandfather who served “on the German side” in World War II, our Andrew Stiles reports.
The Free Beacon and others reported in January about Neumann’s bizarre Facebook post praising her “Grandfather, Albert Neumann,” who she said was “on the German side in WWI & WWII” and “escaped to Brazil … after Germany lost.” The post included several photos of the man in his Wehrmacht uniform. Neumann recalled that her grandfather was one of the first people to accept her homosexuality, a demonstration that “people can change and love can indeed win.” Heartwarming.
“Last week, the Free Beacon received a letter from Neumann’s attorney demanding a ‘formal retraction’ of the ‘false and defamatory’ statement in the article,” writes Stiles.

I think the coming decision by Scotus killing the after election vote stuffing scam using absentees is probably more useful than the SAVE act.
The massive culling of voter registrations is also going to leave a mark. The Democrats were reactivating inactive voters on the lists, casting an absentee ballot, and then deactivating them. Which is why the vote tallies never match the actual number of voters. Apparently the Dems have been monkeying around with voter histories and inactive registrations since about 2007.

Which is why the vote tallies never match the actual number of voters. Apparently the Dems have been monkeying around with voter histories and inactive registrations since about 2007.

At the event for Justice Thomas, he was asked about the well-known camaraderie between the justices, regardless of their political leanings and other disagreements. He firmly implied that was the situation on the previous court, but was not the case anymore.

The Morning Report — 5/ 5/26
Gunshots were fired near the White House complex and the Washington Monument Monday, prompting the Secret Service to lock down nearby locations. United States Secret Service confirmed that law enforcement shot one individual at 15th Street and Independence Avenue during the incident, and a bystander was struck; both are alive, authorities confirmed at a press briefing Monday. Agents reportedly engaged in a heated confrontation with an armed man near the White House and National Mall before President Donald Trump’s event in the East Room of the White House began, RealClearPolitics national correspondent Susan Crabtree first reported... The suspect is currently in custody and no Secret Service agents were harmed. He is reportedly recovering from his gunshot wounds at George Washington Hospital, and Secret Service agents recovered his firearm.
You may well ask, given the fact that President Trump and his entire cabinet and really all of us who support and voted for him have a big fat (literal, not Mark Kelly imaginary) target painted on them, how could something like this happen, yet again?! Well how about this for starters?
Secret Service Agent Arrested for Alleged Public Masturbation in Miami. John Spillman, age 33, had been in Miami to work exterior security for President Donald Trump’s appearance at the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship on Sunday, per CNBC: The incident involving Spillman occurred at the DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Airport & Convention Center on Sunday night, according to WSVN-7 News Miami, which cited an arrest report by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Well, that's bad enough but if we want to talk about root causes, let's get down to brass tacks:
Joe Biden, the last Democrat to occupy the White House, said it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye.” Five days later, Thomas Matthew Crooks evaded the Secret Service and fired seven shots, one wounding candidate Trump in the ear. Jump ahead to April 25, 2026.And that's how someone like Spillman gets to spill his seed while on duty. But the institutional rot predates even Obama/Biden. As horrendous as this creep may be, how is it that a known and avowed communist like John Brennan was able to become a CIA agent let alone was able to rise to become its director? I will never understand that one. Elsewhere, and in a not necessarily unrelated story, President Trump is disrupting and dismantling the global order. With all eyes still on Iran, there are still rumblings about potential moves to at long last liberate the tropical island gulag 90 miles to the south of Florida.
By all indications, Joe Biden issued no post after Cole Thomas Allen aimed to assassinate Trump. Take Obama’s post as another admission that, as David Samuels acknowledged in “The Obama Factor” in 2023, the hapless Biden was a puppet and the “fictional character” created in Dreams from My Father was still running the country and “responsible for the disaster that we are living through now.”
For all but the willfully blind, leading Democrats are now all-in on political violence. Obama serves as a pro-bono attorney for assassins like Cole Thomas Allen and jihadists like Nidal Hasan. The mass murderer was sentenced to death in 2013 but remains alive at this writing.
Trump Goes All In On Regime Change In Cuba: The Trump administration just slammed the door on an effort by Cuba’s communist government to secure an economic lifeline while appearing to embrace reform. A May 1 executive order expands and sharpens longstanding American sanctions on Cuba, and appears to deliberately target a recent gesture at partially opening the Cuban economy. “All property and interests in property that are in the United States,” the order says, are barred from operating “in the energy, defense and related materiel, metals and mining, financial services, or security sector of the Cuban economy, or any other sector of the Cuban economy,” under the penalty of economic sanctions.Fresh off the exposure of the Great Somalian Simoleon Swindle real journalist Nick Shirley is once more entering the breach:
If you'll remember, in March, a group of far-leftist folks from the U.S. and Europe — including members of Code Pink, commie activist Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar's daughter — flew into the crumblingly communist country and stayed in five-star hotels, enjoyed fancy meals, held concerts, and recorded podcasts, all while the Cuban people starve and live without electricity or water much of the time. They took photos with "president" Miguel Díaz-Canel and came back declaring that all was well on the island. This crew spent some of their time riding around the city and viewing the Cubans as if they were on some sort of poverty safari, and Piker said the people just had an "island mindset" and that's why they just hung around in the streets all day. They came back reporting that things were just groovy down there and would be even better if Trump and Rubio would stop bullying them. Well, independent journalist Nick Shirley recently visited Cuba and attempted to do the same thing... but he wanted to tell the real story of what's happening after decades of failed and corrupt communist rule. As you can imagine, he didn't get quite the welcome the others did. Not only that, but according to him, his equipment was seized, "spies" followed him around, and he barely escaped without being "kidnapped."It is my fervent hope and prayer that Nick Shirley is not a one-off and that there are growing numbers of millennials and the younger generations that while not perhaps as open and brave as to put themselves in direct danger at least will become the next literal "Silent Majority" that will reject the insanity of Democrat/Leftism and once again secure America's future as the shining city on a hill. On that unusually positive note for me . . . Have a good day!

🚨🧵 BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. 🚨
Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."
But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.
UndoTrump[.]org — launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" — collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.
4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.
And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.
The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.

The damage to the US from this presidency is immeasurable. The president isn’t supposed to be able to unilaterally cause all of this damage. The GOP in Congress has fully ceded their responsibilities and duties.
It doesn’t help that literally brain damaged Fetterman is helping stop efforts to curtail Trump's power.
He's bored with Iran and wants to move on to something new. He finds Iran frustrating and unsatisfying. He needs something new to excite his very small attention span and continue the distraction from the Epstein mess.
"On the way back from Iran." Like it's a grocery store run? "Yeah, let's just swing the USS Abraham Lincoln by Havana, pick up some cigars, and manifest some destiny." The casualness of suggesting a regime change via a pit stop is peak 2026 timeline.
All it will take is a phone call from Ronald Lauder and the carrier group will be heading to Greenland after killing a load of Cubans. I wish the rest of the world would sanction the fuck out of warmongering fascist America.

Obama serves as a pro-bono attorney for assassins like Cole Thomas Allen and jihadists like Nidal Hasan. The mass murderer was sentenced to death in 2013 but remains alive at this writing.
How come the press does not cover the true victim of that incident? I mean, of course, the schlub who was in the same meeting as O'Bumbles and for whom Barky just had to deliver a shout out for his excellent participation in said meeting. All this before SCOAMF said a single thing about Hasan's killing spree.
How is the shout out recipient faring these days? How is his self-esteem? His mental health?

WASHINGTON, DC — The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in the case of Patrick “Tate” Adamiak, the former active-duty U.S. Navy Master-at-Arms serving 20 years in federal prison on machine gun and destructive device charges that gun rights advocates have argued for years are based on demilled equipment, non-firing replicas, and unfinished parts that are still openly sold online today.

The video’s most memorable feature is the visual contrast between the participants’ studied downtown chic and their professed identification with what Piker calls the “masses.” Tolentino’s makeup is flawless, accentuating her exotic feline beauty; her nails gleam with shell-pink lacquer; her carefully styled waves glow with tawny highlights; her low-cut denim tank top, jeans, and high-heeled boots signal urban sophisticate. This outfit may not be ideally suited to organizing the proletarian “sabotage and, sort of, engagement with property destruction” she evokes with wistful nostalgia. But it fits perfectly in the all-white Brooklyn loft where the interview was filmed.
Piker sports a powder-blue, long-sleeved Ralph Lauren shirt, complete with polo pony logo. His tennis shoes are by Adidas, the very embodiment of the “system of global capital” that he claims to want to overthrow, complete with allegations of labor abuses in its Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indonesian factories...

From above, 'Philadelphia Museum Marks America’s 250th By Dwelling on Its Faults'
Pope Leo XIV will be awarded the 38th annual Liberty Medal in Philadelphia on July 3, 2026, during the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations. The National Constitution Center will honor him for promoting religious liberty, freedom of conscience, and human dignity, with the Pope accepting via a virtual broadcast from Rome. The award is part of the 2026 Wawa Welcome America festivities.
This could be the worst celebration of Independence Day in the Philadelphia area ever, and it seems so in-your-face including the following, especially given the Roman Catholic Church's 'treatment' in the region:
Within just one collar county of the city, some examples:
Delco officials began eminent domain proceedings in 2021 to acquire roughly 213 acres of land in Marple Township from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia & an alleged developer to create the county's largest park. The site, the former Don Guanella Village, was targeted for preservation, preventing its development. The county tendered only $21 million as "estimated just compensation." Absurd and still open.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at May 05, 2026 10:29 AM (NFX2v)
Sisters of St. Francis Property (Aston Township) transaction involved land formerly owned by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, located near Neumann University. Aston Township purchased 46 acres from the religious order for approximately $1.9 million and intends it to become a passive-use township park featuring hiking trails through meadows and woodlands.
2025, Brookhaven closed the purchase of the former Our Lady of Charity school property located on Upland Road. The 7.4-acre parcel was appraised at $1.55 million.
In September 2019, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia sold the historic Archbishop Prendergast High School building and 8.5 acres in Drexel Hill to Delaware County Community College (DCCC) for $3 million. The new campus is designed as a $66.5 million project aimed at providing education, workforce training, and community resources.
Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at May 05, 2026 10:29 AM (NFX2v)
AI - These actions reflect a trend of the cash-strapped Archdiocese selling land, while local government seeks to convert large, open Catholic tracts into public, green space.
And it is shocking to see the Roman Catholic Church so cash strapped in PA - it HAS done a lot of good - now joining many of the historic, mainline protestant denominations rapidly fading away.
And in county, rather than Greening, the true goals seem to be for Democratic county council - and pals - to control large land buffers that also keep certain schools at desirable educational levels, local taxes manageable, and any residential building appropriate for the surrounding towns.
After all, it's quite the deal as ALL the county is taxed to pay for county parks & security even when they're just sitting with little to no park development.
Democrats 🤬 but they give away diapers, tampons, Narcan & lots of $ to hinkey non-profits.

- The "audio industry" is grappling with the rise of podslop. (Bloomberg) (archive site)
Where by audio industry they mean, basically, Spotify.
The problem is a company called Inception Point, that is spewing out 3000 podcasts a week using AI-generated voices.
Does anyone listen to them?
Well, the number is probably not zero. I listened to an AI-generated science fiction story that was tolerable if not particularly original. But when I was automatically forwarded to the next story on the channel it was exactly the same with a few names and details changed.
Slop is right.
- You could turn your classic 1966 Mustang into a Tesla. (Electrek)
Or, alternately, you could not do that.
- Ask.com, which was in the natural language search query business before it was cool - or indeed, worked - has closed its doors. (The Register)
The site racked up 245 million visits over 25 years... Which is not remotely enough for a business to survive on. Which makes me wonder a little how they did.
- Intel's TPU bet hinges on increasing yield from 90% to 98%. (WCCFTech)
Counterpoint: No it fucking doesn't. Are you stupid or what?The analyst adds that not only is jumping from a 90% yield to a 98% yield significantly more difficult than achieving 90% from 0%, but also that the 90% yield is a validation figure instead of a production figure. As a result, he believes cautious optimism is the better approach when following the packaging technology.
Getting from 0% to 90% yield is taking a process that simply doesn't work and making it into a reliable production line. Getting it to 98% is nice, but irrelevant on the broader scale.

I saw a post of yours yesterday about your disappointment and/or with Pope Leo for appointing the guy to be Bishop in WV who is an illegal alien and that you had decided not to go back to the RCC
Please, brother, Reconsider that.Popes come and go but the Lord stands forever. Here is a bit that Former Pope Benedict wrote about St. Catherine of Sienna and her life of faith
And we can all let our hearts be transformed and learn to love like Christ in a familiarity with him that is nourished by prayer, by meditation on the Word of God and by the sacraments, above all by receiving Holy Communion frequently and with devotion
I think if you felt a yearning to go back to church that comes from God.
If is not a requirement to be a RC that with political announcements of the Pope. Hadrian woukd tell you the same thing.

I'd recommended putting Win 11 on a VM on a Linux host and give gaming on Steam/Proton a try. Except for games requiring kernel-level anticheats, such as FPS games, the results are shockingly good.
Plus you get the benefits of Windows in a VM, rather than dual boot, such as snapshots that can easily and quickly remedy a borked Windows update, Windows not working your bootloader, etc.

So they got rid of Benedict and went full Marxist Liberation Theology with Francis to satisfy the Latinos.
American Catholics are only considered as a reliable income stream but also have very little growth potential.
Now they have Leo to balance out Trump, but still have a bit of a Marixst running the show.
I'd expect another Latin/Asian (a Filipino would be perfect), or African pope next as that's where their largest growth potential is.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at May 05, 2026 06:13 AM (6ydKt)
I don't think so. I think priests vary in their political views while still believing in the doctrine and the efficacy of the Sacraments. I've sat in various RC churches ( and no, dear RC morons and ettes, I don't take the Eucharist) and no priest said anything that veered off from the Scriptures of the day and I doubt they would be doing a "campaign appearance" for Pope Leo. As one guy said yesterday " I don't give money to the Bishops appeal" or whatever it is called .

Also I have a laptop with Windows 11 and Linux Mint 22.3 (dual boot) that I do a FULL drive backup of using CloneZilla before I load Windows every year to do the taxes. As part of that I start with a Windows Update, and if it borks things, I'd just restore the entire drive and start doing research.
Once the update is done and I prove I can still dual boot to Linux, THEN I start the taxes.
Excellent idea for tax purposes though. That software should run on Windows in a VM without issue. Thank you.

If you remember the famous Phoenix Lights UFO sighting, the first person to alert authorities to it was Kurt Russell. He's evidently a private pilot and was flying his son to college (or back maybe).

It all started with the Mommas and Poppas video Pixy posted. Somehow, I made may way through several different bands and now the Allman Brothers got served up, and I am listening to Live at Fillmore East. Not a bad start to the day, since coffee is also included.

I was watching some old Lost in Space episodes last December and teenage Kurt Russell popped-up in one of those. That guy has had a heckuva career.
Posted by: Biergood at May 05, 2026

Kurt, age twelve or so, was in the very first Man From U.N.C.L.E. I ever watched, as the "innocent" (non-spy) character in 1964's "The Finny Foot Affair" -- a very good script, too. It may be on YooToob and is worth your time. Prior to that he'd been Dan O'Herlihy's co-star in the Western The Travels of Jamie McPheeters.

Most things work that way, except games, unless you can get GPU passthroughto VM working, but that requires pretty new hardware, and it is more than I am wanting to spend.
The only downside is memory overhead of the host. I used to clonezilla, a lot, because Microsft. And, frankly, Windows in a VM feels like the first breath of fresh air after prison. I haven't touched clonezilla since, simply backing up my user data.

He's still working, too.
Currently working on the Monarch show on Apple TV. with his son Wyatt playing the character's younger self, about an agency that fights huge monsters; Godzilla, King Kong, etc.
He and Michelle Pfeiffer are also in The Madison on Paramount+ which is another Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone spin-off.
Kurt was MIA for about a decade or so, but apparently his family needs some cash because I've been seeing Goldie Hawn pop up in articles lately like she's looking for work, too.

No, don't change any of the iconic exterior bits, just the safety and reliability ones. Maybe soup it up a little under the hood and make sure the transmission can handle it. If it were possible to have brighter headlights, to put brighter E-code bulbs into the housings while keeping the same look, that would add to the value as a *car.*
Of course, one of the great things about headlights back then were the simple sealed beam units. You bought a pair at K-Mart and installed them yourself; done.

So yeah, they coupled up (don't think they ever got married officially) in the 80s.
Then they moved out to Idaho, or something, to get away from L.A. after they started having kids.

I always regret that I never had a chance to put premium ethanol-free gas in the 2015 BMW 3 Series. It got great mileage, ca. 27 city and highway mixed, on the E10 premium. I can only imagine that E0 would have yielded close to 30 mpg in everyday driivng.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 05, 2026 06:59 AM (wzUl9)
It's amazing the premium you need to pay to go just one notch up at or near the top end, such as going from a 5060 to a 5070.

I once got to sit in a used Continental limo. Dark green, with black leather everywhere inside except the rear-facing jump seats, which were light tan. An impressive vehicle. I've only ever seen it on TV or in a movie in the pilot for Get Smart. Probably not that many were made; a standard Lincoln C. was a pretty darn roomy car all by itself.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 05, 2026 07:02 AM (wzUl9)

Nvidia is putting out new versions of the 5070 laptop chip soon.
Going from 8GB to 12GB VRAM.
They had complaints because both the 5060 & 5070 had 8GB and there wasn't much of a difference between the two because of it.
If you can still find an older laptop with a 4080 in it you'd save some cash that way, but I don't know if any are still for sale new.

The modern 2015 - 2023ish Chargers and Challengers run great on premium ethanol free fuel. My 2016 Charger would scream while averag___ 23mpg in the city and ~30 on the highway @75. Big 5.7 liter (it's a damned 350 Dodge, get with the freedom units) with variable valve timing and multi-displacment. I miss that car, lots of fun to force it to get 2mpg.
The Multistrada only runs the premium ethanol free. It will kill the rear (vertical) two cylinders at stop lights, to reduce heat. When I get on the throttle, a baffle opens in the exhaust deleting the muffler. Whoa baby. Sounds like a dream forcing it to get 20mpg.

Mike Dirnt, who turned 54 today, is co-founder, bassist, and backing vocalist for Green Day. No deep cut here; for a showcase, Brave AI recommended their first major-label single (off their 1994 breakout third studio album Dookie), where his iconic bassline is the song's primary hook:

My younder sis has that trouble right now, but with bathroom drain in the crawl space. Called out a plumber from town (about 20 miles away), said they'd be out last Tuesday, then called on Tuesday and said they'd be out Thursday, no show no call on Thursday, so oldest boy and I are headed to rural Texas this weekend to help. She's used to just working on her own stuff, but this one is going to be a big mess.

The real.problem is getting the correct size "hole".
If the new dishwasher is the same size as the old one (width, height, depth) it's not that difficult to install. The instructions that came with it will spell out what has to.be done. This is one place where I give YouTube props.

And frankly, between the hord and me, let's get rid of the computer circuit board on all appliances, let's go back to analog toggles, switches and dials. I suggested to a friend recently that we should start a company for appliances called "Just Appliances Ltd." That makes appliances like washing machine designed with similar workings (modern materials safety etc.) to those of the 1970s. They would be retro/analog and simply "just" wash or "just" refrigerate or "just" dry etc.

* UAE says it has intercepted 15 missiles, 4 drones in the last day. Iranian drone strike caused a large fire at its Fujairah industrial port that hospitalized 3 people.
* An oil tanker owned by the UAE’s state oil company ADNOC was also struck by Iranian drones in a separate episode outside the Strait
* US CentCom chief Adm Cooper says US military fought off attacks from Iranian drones and missiles as it facilitated the passage of TWO US-flagged navy destroyers through the Strait. (CBS saying these vessels were not struck)
* a South Korean ship has been damaged going through the Strait. Trump urges S Korea to join in on Project Freedom
* Asked about Iranian sea mines in Hormuz, Centcom’s Cooper said “it’s not so extensive”
* Trump on TS “We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, ‘fast’ Boats" that attempted to interfere
* Trump to Fox: if Iran attacks any US ships around the Strait of Hormuz, they will be “blown off the face of the earth.”
* 2 people injured in Oman, on its coast along the Strait , when a residential building was targeted (state media)

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.
He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died.
Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs.
I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.
RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

if you're doing western S Dakota you seriously want to see Mt Rushmore in the black hills. The loop will bring you through deadwood, past the crazy horse monument, and into Custer. Then grab the needles highway and iron mountain road, and it brings you right into Mt Rushmore. Can do that all in a day easy. Devils tower is right in eastern Wyoming, maybe an hour in from the S Dakota border.

How do you distinguish between a 4 door coupe, and a 4-door sedan? Where I come from, 4-door coupe does not exist. All coupes are 2 doors. There should not be enough room on coupe body for rear doors. Sedans can be 2 doors or 4, but there is enough room on the 2-door body for rear doors.
My body list: coupe, hardtop coupe, convertible coupe, 4 door sedan, 4-door hardtop, station wagon, pickup.

My preferred, and assumed, strategery here was to pause (ceasefire) to rest, resupply, and augment our forces (this has been done, and it's a pretty massive fist we have). Meanwhile, the blockade would do its thing, along with the global financial assault on Iranian assets. Finally, force the Strait open, forcing Iran to try to respond militarily - this leading to a comprehensive degradation of their anti-shipping capabilities.
Thus shredding their only remaining "card".
Things track with the above, so far. Question is will we (my preference) use Iranian interference in the Strait as the go-signal to obliterate their last significant remaining kinetic tool*. Or continue with the dance - downplaying attacks as long they're thwarted or blunted, bluster about destroying their military, with very limited military response. We're all about to find out.
* ballistic missiles remain a threat to the region, but a crude and largely ineffective one to date

I know of a site near Edson, Alberta, where I saw a petrified tree stump in growth position exposed in a cut bank. Quite a lot of petrified wood can be collected there. I have a bunch of it. It's actually silicified wood intermingled with coal. I am guessing it is of Tertiary age.

Agree AOP - meant to delete the 4 door coupe.
It should have read:
2 door sports - Like a pure sports car model
2 door coupe
2 door sedan
4 door sedan
Station Wagon (4 door)
Pickup Truck
But I like your list better (except I do like those old 2 door sedan length cars like the old Cadillacs 1969-70) and I hadn't thought about convertibles so let's say :
Pure performance sports car model (hard top and convertible); coupe (hardtop coupe, convertible coupe)
2 Door sedan; 4 door sedan; 4-door hardtop; Station wagon; pickup

This is the new $7.50 subscription plan by HP Printers
Here’s how the plans work
HP’s Instant Ink and newer All-in Plan programs are subscription services options:
- You pay a monthly fee based on pages printed (not ink used).
- Plans start low, from $1.79–$7.99 per month for 10–100 pages
- $7–$8 per month plans are for around 100 pages
If your payment fails. HP will remotely shutoff your printer

Since he declared hostilities over before the sixty day deadline, he no longer has to report to Congress.
Instead he declared the mission in the Strait of Hormuz a "humanitarian mission" which requires no report to Congress under War Powers.
But now, if Iran attacks a U.S. ship it becomes a defensive operation against Iran when we respond with force, which can be open-ended as defensive operations don't fall under War Powers either.
Quite a smooth move, and Trump was counting on the IRGC to start doing exactly what they've done.

An hour later, I'm only 42% into the process, and on question 36, and it's asking about the family member's sexual orientations.
I opted to save it for later, because I was too angry at that point to continue.
And I noticed a little thing after creating the password and challenge/response question it demanded I do so I could "come back to this later".
It told me that if I didn't submit anything further by Thursday, March 14, that my responses so far would be submitted as an incomplete survey.
Now maybe they meant that to scare people into completing it, but I'm seeing a loophole.
I answered your stupid census. You got the important information already (number of people, names, citizenships, languages spoken.) Anything else isn't really "need to have" it's just "want to have".
Bottom line: I responded, as I needed to, by law, so I'm in the clear, and I think that yeah, I'm done with that nonsense.

Demanding Doggos Cafe
Pienza, the so-called "ideal city" in Tuscany
by Max Morriconi
More here.
There's a short video here.
Jets vs. Sharks but more butch. Kittens being lazybones. Handing out toys to rando dogs. Straight from the tap. DID YOU KNOW? Baby goats make outstanding mechanic's assistants. Cat won't get hustled by some street haggler. Don't give me that static. Providing a booster chair for ducklings. For the discriminating connoisseur of toe beans. That's the mustard.
I've got something to say!

Not good for either party. Ducks poop more regularly than just about any animal out there. They are, definitely, pooping in that pool. Anybody using that pool runs a high risk of conjunctivitis (pink eye)...which isn't fun.
Chorine is, likely, in that pool, and guess what. Chlorine is bad for ducks and can cause significant health issues if they swim in or drink it regularly. It strips the natural oils from their feathers, leading to waterlogging, and can damage their kidneys if consumed.
I have a pool. I regularly have to contend with the errant Canadian goose who likes to explore up from the pond down in the pasture. Some people think fences around pools are to keep the kids in the neighborhood from drowing accidentally. I could care leas about those brats. I just want to keep the geese out of my pool.

The portrayal of Spartacus by Hollywood is always amusing. He was a Thracian....who were tattooed barbarians known for drinking rituals to their God of Wine. Even the Thracian women had full body tattoos, and very few morals. They were always fragmented because they chose fighting over farming every single time. Spartacus was a thug.

Thracian was also one of the fighting styles gladiators used - sword and buckler. It has been tossed around that saying he was 'a thracian' was a cover for a Roman who had been broken down to the gladiator ranks which would explain why he was able to lead his slave army with such success.

Americans have a unique obsession with Nazis. In Europe, the Nazis have lots of competition and there were many countries where the Communists were much, much worse, and so (I'm talking about the Baltics specifically) their "honored veterans" were in the SS.

It isn't a political or economic system, it is a religious heresy built on the sins of pride, envy, and wrath, and that it why it never loses its appeal.

Yeah, Franco himself was apolitical, but the True Believers in the Phalange wanted more radical change, and there is a credible case that he packed them all off to the Eastern Front in the Blue Division for a reason.
Solved two problems at once - kept Hitler off his back and got rid of the radicals.

And Spanish commies were a big part of other countries resistance forces against Nazi occupation. The French resistance was mostly made up of commies.
Also Franco basically ghosted Hitler.

Don't know if any of you follow video games but this was done to the Assassin's Creed series as well by the company that created it, Ubisoft.

Yes, the wokification of Gamers was a little earlier and the purges led to the creation of counter-revolutionaries like Sargon of Akkad who were all veterans when the culture war came to Hollywood a few years later.

WWI in Italy was like France but more so. Eleven? Twelve? Thirteen? Battles on the Isonzo River line for no purpose, and when that wasn't dumb enough they did some offensives in the Alps for added futility. Then the Germans popped in and bounced the whole line back about 4 river lines in a flash.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters.
"We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News.
...
Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to ICE.

We tend to forget that neither Italy nor Germany were what we think of those two countries today. Italy in particular had the Papal States, the Southern Districts, the Alpine Districts, Venice, and a couple of other city-states, none of whom particularly cared for the other and often times were at war internally as well. "Ruling" Italy was a crap shoot at best. Germany had parts of Prussia, parts of France, and who knows what all, and they likewise did not necessarily get along well. Sometimes it was Catholic vs. Protestant, but more often it was this ruling duchy against that one.
Each was a microcosm of the rest of Europe. More tribal than pre-Columbian America.

The Mussolini supporters were the problem. My grandmother got out of there in 1938 when in her words "Mussolini became in love with hitler". Not that he was great before that, but it definitely went to shit after that. Italy then had the civil war when the allied backed southern partisans fought against the northern german backed pro mussolini fascists. My relatives were on the anti Mussolini side. Well, the ones who stayed behind anyway.

I don't get the hate for drugs that help.
Part of treating Type II diabetes is removing weight from the equation. I'm on Mounjaro to control my AIC, but it also kills off hunger, so I suspect I'm losing some weight. I know lots of people just use it to lose weight, but if it works, who are we to judge that?
For reference, I've been on 1400 cal/day for three years and haven't lost an ounce. Now I'm on Mounjaro and 1400 cal/day, and I've lost about three pounds, and my AIC is way low at long last. Nothing was budging before, and lower than 1400 cal is not healthy or sustainable in the long run. So, there's that.

We had several around here, groceries and pharmacies both. One regular (as opposed to Neighborhood Market) Walmart was open 24/7; there was another grocery chain where I'd stop after my late-night radio shift, and a lot of the Walgreens stores were 24-hour. Now we have one Walgreens on this side of the river that is open all night, and it's staffed even in the daytime with some of the rudest and stupidest clerks I've ever encountered; so I never go in there.

You've got to love NASA (and JPL, etc). They just dumped 12K+ of full resolution photos from Artemis II over the weekend. No fanfare, just a big dump and like this:

That seems fascinating. Maybe that would be worth a shot. But going to the Bahamas with the Carnival cruise. Oh, Hell no.

That's actually what this Hantavirus cruise was. Antarctic-capable ship, but run by a company with a case of Woke. Not as bad as Oceangate, or whatever that collapsible-sub company was, but.....
Part of my post from the food thread, where it was first mentioned, from cruise ship's own website:
Happier polar passengers, healthier polar environment
Not only will the numerous amenities and on-board entertainments help make your Hondius voyage truly memorable, this ship also gives you the peace of mind that comes with choosing one of the most environmentally friendly vessel on the polar seas. Hondius uses LED lighting, steam heating, bio-degradable paints and lubricants, and state-of-the-art power management systems that keep fuel consumption and CO2 levels minimal. This means that when you sail aboard Hondius, you get to enjoy the exotic landscapes and wildlife as much as possible while impacting them as little as possible.

At any rate, from those 12K high resolution photos dumped, somebody put this together:

That sequence was taken maybe 40 minutes or so after TLI, and that is indeed how fast the earth was shrinking over less than a minute, so fast were they going then. And see all the little dots of light? Those are satellites reflecting sunlight. You can see the north and south aurora flickering. And it's claimed you can see lightning flashes all over, but I can't really tell.
That's the night side of earth, camera ISO turned way up. The Sun is on the other side, and the earth is being lit by moonlight. This was not possible back in the Apollo days with film.

Agreed. Carnival was decent 10-15 years ago. I probably won't go on them again after the last one a couple years back. No section-8 brawls at the buffet, but about that level of trashy.
Royal is pretty fun, though, and I haven't had a bad cruise on their ships.
And they're less crowded; Carnival puts about 30% more cabins on the same size ships compared to Royal, I think. They've become the Spirit Airlines of cruises.

And OBDII code reader should be able to identify which O2 sensor is bad. Might just be a bad wire, too. Sensors are down low on exhaust pipe, and wires can get snagged by debris on road. There should be 4 sensors, two upstream of the cats that tell the ECM what the fuel burn is doing, and two downstream, to verify that the cats are properly burning the unburned hydrocarbons.
Most autoparts stores can read codes for you; you should not have to be guessing.

2) doesn't this mean you have an exit strategy for after the weight is lost. Go off and keep exercising? See if it comes back or you can keep it off?

So, there are several different personality types regarding food, and I think only a couple are well-suited to use a GLP-1 well. One is the very disciplined type, like garrett who quits smoking every year for cycling, and there are similarly people who can treat their eating like dialing in settings on a bio machine.
A type that would not manage it well is food addicts who will use the first type as an excuse for not managing their mindset, setting themselves up for failure by pretending they "just need to use willpower" like the disciplined ones. They will crash diet for awhile, then bounce back in perpetual yo-yos, and GLP-1s would just add oomph to the crash phase.

I feel bad for the control addicts in this case, because they are likely to end up abusing GLP-1s to the point of anorexia. They might look like the disciplined ones superficially, at first, but they are not in control of their need to feel in control. And healthy maintenance doesn't feed that need, since it's not visibly forcing themselves beyond limits.
But there is one other group that can use them well, and that is the type that can "manage themselves on purpose," accepting that they have irrational drives to manipulate and triggers to avoid. They might need professional help, but ultimately they can pick out a set of eating habits that would suffice to sustain the target weight and nothing more. Then, by eating that way, they might only lose as little as a pound a week; but then, upon reaching the target weight, they would not have to change a single solitary habit. GLP-1s add the advantage of removing temptation, making it easier to stick to it, so then they might need to find a small maintenance dose (perhaps with a compounding pharmacy or whatever they're called).
But there is no such thing as magic bullets where human psychology is involved.

Downstream sensors usually don't affect how the car runs. They are there to ensure that the catalytic converters are performing as they should. But if you have to do emissions testing they needs to be working.
Check for damaged wires. Uncouple and reconnect the harness plugs to the sensors. Might clear some subtle corrosion causing a fault signal.

P013A is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code indicating O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean (Bank 1, Sensor 2). This code triggers when the downstream oxygen sensor, located after the catalytic converter on the engine bank containing cylinder 1, fails to switch voltage levels rapidly enough during fuel mixture transitions.
Common causes and symptoms include:
Faulty Downstream O2 Sensor: The sensor may be aged, contaminated, or defective, which is the most frequent trigger for this code.
Exhaust Leaks: Leaks near or before the Bank 1 Sensor 2 can introduce false air readings, causing slow response times.
Catalytic Converter Issues: A degraded or failing catalytic converter can alter exhaust gas composition, affecting sensor performance.
Wiring or Connector Problems: Damaged harnesses, corrosion, or poor ground signals can disrupt the sensor's electrical communication with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Fuel System Issues: Problems such as clogged injectors, vacuum leaks, or a faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor can create rich or lean conditions that overwhelm the sensor.

For aberration, there is the English dub of Ghost Story where the whole staff went full LeRoy Jenkins on mangling the script to shockingly funny effect.
For awhile we had more professional translations- thanks Neil Nadelman and other real fans.
But then the Canadians and Funimation started to dominate the American side and things went to scheiss.
Maybe we will now see a swing back to accurate translations because the Japanese will use AI.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid? That's about a 3/10 on the "odd Japanese anime things" scale, maybe?
Anime is usually better in Japanese with subtitles.
1. The Japanese voice actors are almost always technically better, which is at least better for all the foley effects (everything but the talking)
B. The localization of the dubbed version will usually be more "Americanized" than the subtitled version, which may help with some of those themes. When they're identical, all the weebs (shifty eyes) decry the "dubtitles."

Okay, according to Kelley Blue book, that is Bank 1, sensor 2. The downstream O2 sensor for the cylinder bank containing #1 cylinder. On a typical American V8, that would be the left side. For a transverse-mounted V6, you will have to find cylinder #1, and trace which exhaust pipe connects to it.

The Ozempic pens have tight control over the dose by means of clicks. There are a bunch of calibration lines, labeled at a few points. Mine is labeled at 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg, with a number of lines in between. I'll try to remember to count next time. Anyway, getting an intermediate dose would be no problem with the existing pens.
I haven't had to take daily insulin in over a year, and that's a good thing.

Anthony @AlboMP I was invited to a dinner party.
At the invitation, we presented music lover Anthony with a Japanese record rack and records by Babymetal and Man with a Mission, and he also gave us a signed drumhead and record by AC/DC, Australia's leading rock band.

It is really weird when you think about it. They lasted about 25 years in total, had power for 12 years, got their own country destroyed and were eventually outlawed. Mostly as the result of a series of stupid decisions they made. Been extinct for 80 years as any sort of actual movement, and were always designed to appeal mostly to Germans of a certain period. Yet they are constantly discussed today

I'm often hesitant to click on "I'll just leave this here" links. The regulars are pretty good about warning about NSFW or disturbing content on links. It helps me decide when someone later comments positively about a link, although some have been known to go along with a rickroll gag. Avoid Admiral Ackbar links always.

496, has the car by any chance been mysteriously losing coolant or brake fluid? If those fluids have needed unusual topping up, there might be head gasket leak (in the case of coolant) or master cylinder leak (in the case of brake fluid) permitting the leaked fluid to be burned in the engine. Combustion products of burned coolant or brake fluid can "poison" catalysts and O2 sensors.

Democrats Just Can't Stop Tributing Nazis and Then Lying About It
Late last week, Mark Halperin reported that NRSC official told him that the dirt they're about to drop on the Nazi -- I guess being a Nazi isn't disqualifying in the "anti-Nazi party" -- that "he'll have to leave the state."
Now that is an exaggeration. But radio host and former Breitbart editor Larry O'Connor said he'd heard that too -- well, he said he did more than hear it.Larry said: "This is a bad man... I'm sorry, I hate to put it [in these terms,] but I have learned, and I haven't just heard, I know things about this person that will come out, the GOP is not joking about this, and frankly it goes beyond the Nazi tattoo." Now I generally trust Larry O'Connor but I didn't mention it because I hate getting too far ahead of the news. But his statement that he hasn't just "heard," but knows for a fact makes me think this won't just be another round of campaign-scuttlebutt that turns out to be vapornews. Meanwhile, a major Democrat donor is threatening a lawsuit against the Free Beacon because they "invaded her privacy" by reporting that she had freely admitted on a public post on social media that her grandfather had been a soldier in Hitler's army. She's claiming that doesn't make him a Nazi. Um... I guess? But she says he did escape to Brazil before the end of the war which, I don't know, I always kind of assumed was something that major Nazi figures did, and not just everyday soldiers in the Wehrmacht.
What an anodyne way to put it. He fought bravely in World War Two. But, you know, not for the army you might think. And she did this on... Veterans Day. American Veterans Day. On American Veterans Day, she decided to tribute a man who killed Americans. What a very weird Aryan flex on Veterans Day.
Kelly Neumann, a Michigan trial attorney and Democratic fundraiser, has threatened the Washington Free Beacon with "legal action" unless we retract our story about her Veterans Day Facebook post honoring her grandfather who served "on the German side" in World War II.
... "Happy Veterans Day to all my family and friends who serve/served!" Neumann's post read. "Interesting story, I do not talk much about but my Grandfather, Albert Neumann was on the German side in WWI & WWII. He escaped to Brazil with my father after Germany lost..."Very interesting story, brah.
The post included several photos of the Nazi soldier in his Wehrmacht uniform. Neumann recalled that her grandfather was one of the first people to accept her as gay, which proved that "people can change and love can indeed win."Well as long as your Nazi Army opa who fled to Brazil after the war was okay with you being a lesbian, everything's cool. There were Very Fine People on both sides, would you say...? This isn't such a big deal, I guess. But what makes it creepy is that this woman, who obviously did not fall far from the fascist tree, is now threatening the Free Beacon unless they retract their 100% true story which merely quotes what she herself admitted.
Last week, the Free Beacon received a letter from Neumann's attorney demanding a "formal retraction" of the "false and defamatory" statement in the article. The letter was signed by Eugenie B. Eardley, another Michigan trial attorney who describes herself as the "First Lady of Law." She even has her own catch phrase--"seriously serious about the law"--which is ironic given the profound unseriousness of the threatening letter she wrote on Neumann's behalf. For example, Eardley suggested the Free Beacon had not merely defamed her client, but may have also invaded her privacy by reporting on a post she made on the public Facebook account where she routinely shares photos of herself cavorting with Democratic politicians. That's because Neumann made the post "in her private capacity as a granddaughter," which sounds like nonsense.It is nonsense. A public utterance is a public utterance. You cannot transmute it into private, confidential information by later claiming "I only said that publicly in my capacity as a private citizen who loves her Wehrmacht opa." Her lawyer said that the Free Beacon falsely claimed he was a member of the S.S., which they said they never did. They also say they never identified him as a Nazi, but... I mean... he did flee to Brazil. I assume it wasn't just because he likes the lambada (the forbidden dance). Democrats like the "I'm not an X I'm just a Y" defense. "I'm not a socialist I'm just a liberal" which is now "I'm not a communist I'm just a socialist." And now: "He's not SS he was just a soldier in Hitler's army who fled to Brazil after the war." More from Ed Driscoll at Instapundit:

Oh, I don't know. I'd say having a Totenkopf SS tattoo is about Platner at least in part. It's disqualifying either because having it makes him a Nazi, makes him an admirer of Nazis, or makes him too uninformed or dumb to hold office. It reflects moral or political unfitness for office.
Now, if someone wants to make the case that it also shows what grossly inept liars newsmen and commentators on the left are, fine and well. But Platner sucks even more than his dumb apologists in my book.

The Germans as a group knew is would get even more ugly if the Soviets invaded. He'll, it was something like 11 million wehrmacht were sent into the gulags after the war. That speaks nothing of the rapes.
So he may have had the means and was aware enough to just want to get the fuck out.

Hitler was their "Man of the Year" until he turned on their other socialist to the east.
As I said earlier, at this rate, by late July, the Dems will be arguing that Nazism was good in theory it's just that Hitler had it wrong.
And, simultaneously, the only way you can prove you're not a fascist is to vote for the guy who wishes Hitler had won.

“ Dear Readers; we are very sorry for implying that Grandpa Neumann was a Nazi, when all we know for sure is that he spent 5 years of his life serving Herr Hitler, and that he swore a personal oath of loyalty to him. Maybe he didn’t really mean it, we don’t know.
Also, while it is true that many high ranking Nazi’s escaped to South America to escape war crimes prosecutions, it is probably just a coincidence that he did the same thing at the same time, possibly on the same boat as some of them.
And furthermore, although we don’t know where he got the funds to make the journey, there is no evidence to support the rumor that a good friend of his gave him a bag full of gold fillings taken from the teeth of cremated Jews.
We hope you will accept our apologies. “

As far as rounding up and hanging all the Nazis in 1945, I am sure it was considered, but the Russians and American armies had just liberated concentration camps, death camps and labor camps, and I suspect no one who had even read up on the reports would have consented to participate in a second genocide.
anyone you meet who suggests it would have been good or useful to do so probably hasn't got a clue as to what they are talking about and considers a tragedy to be "not getting sprinkles and nutmeg on their latte. "

If the guy did serve in WWI and WWII he was at least 40 years old at the beginning of WWII in 1940, he was not conscripted at that point, if he was in the german army then he was 100% a volunteer and most likely a nazi.
He might have been shanghaied at the end of the war and put in a volkstruum unit in April 1945 and shoved out the door with a panzerfaust in Berlin to stop the russians as noted above, but those guys did not get trips on submarines to Brazil at the end of the war if they survived.

Before that, there was a good number of Americans that were for Nazi Germany. All the fluff pieces in the newspaper, proping up Adolf and the German machine. But wasn't it only after he attacked their Communist lover, the USSR, that said papers and the left turned against him?
And given the outright antipathy to Israelies and to Jews in general, they'd be perfectly fine with it. After all, they and much of Europe still haven't forgiven the Jews for the death camps.
Case in point: They LOVED Russia before Trump. Remember the TurboCharge button? And when Romney claimed Russia was our #1 threat, Obama pooh-pooh'ed it? If it weren't for Hillary and her "Russian Collusion" witch's brew, they would have been funding Russia to attack Ukraine. But TDS controls everything they do.
Another reminder - the Burisma corruption got swept under the rug. Biden even admitted it, live on air. Yet *TRUMP* was the corrupt one and was impeached?

Yet Another Deranged Democrat (One Assumes) Has Been Shot for Approaching the White House While Brandishing a Gun
Via Instapundit, and a helpful commenter "Tuna" who actually pulls his weight and doesn't just babble about Abby Shapiro's boobs*:
🚨 UPDATE: An individual has been SHOT by Secret Service at 15th Street & Independence Ave (near White House).
— Alec Lace (@AlecLace) May 4, 2026
The individual is in custody. He reportedly had a gun.
His condition is currently unknown. All Secret Service officers safe. pic.twitter.com/kSaBQELS52
"Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to suspect Cole Allen for the treatment he's received so far while he has been behind bars. He's been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections, and the judge was asking why. An attorney from the government said that he was put on suicide watch because he told FBI agents that night of the White House Correspondents' dinner attack that he didn't expect to survive, and his language suggested that he really was not expecting to survive his trip to Washington, D.C., and the ultimate incident where he allegedly showed up with a weapon to try and assassinate President Trump. He's been charged with that crime. "But the judge, very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying the defendant has requested a Bible, has requested meetings with his legal team, and that has not been allowed, he's been put in restrictive, 24 hour lockup, with no windows and a padded room without an opportunity to get out for recreation. So the judge making it clear that he wants answers by tomorrow morning about exactly what the housing determination will be made for the suspect in this case, out of grave concern about his constitutional rights. And that apology issued near the end of the hearing. And so, quite a moment just moments ago in federal court. "Bottom line: Department of Correction said they wanted to make sure that he survived, that this is a high-profile case. All involved acknowledged it was a high-profile case. Again, the judge concerned about the treatment he's gotten since he was arrested after the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident. Sandra, back to you."
As I have reported—Zia Faruqui signed arrest warrants for hundreds of J6ers.

At a hearing on Monday, Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui compared the conditions of Allen’s confinement to those of the people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, saying they were treated better than Allen was.
https://tinyurl.com/4tczkzfn
I sincerely doubt that he's being treated worse than the J6ers.
All they did was hold him in a suicide watch cell (padded walls, no visits, no calls, and wearing a straight-jacket type outfit).
That isn't unusual for somebody in his position with his charges.
This judge needs to recuse himself, but that'll never happen now that he's opened his mouth in court and proven his own biases now and previously.
The DC circuit is totally compromised by the radical left.

The left has this Trump-based revenge-fantasy genocide they wish had happened to the South after the Civil War to cope with losing in 2016 and 2024.
They have now moved past dreaming of killing Trump as a means to regain power:
Now, it's a means to exterminate all conservatives.
Also, you know the biggest reason so many on the left were so gleeful at the murder of Charlie Kirk?
Because in their hearts, it made them happy to see conservative mourn.
They are no different today than they were when they were laughing at parents in Cambodia crying as their babies were thrown against trees.

Charlie Kirk's Head of Security Sues Cavernous Nostrils for Defamation After She Repeatedly Insinuates He Was Part of a French/Israeli/Egyptian/US Plot to Kill "Her Best Friend"
Can't wait until Erik Kirk drops her own massive, billion-dollar lawsuit on Gal Sharpton's head.
No lies detected.
The former head of security for Charlie Kirk sued podcaster Candace Owens on Thursday for defamation, claiming that she falsely implicated him in a conspiracy to assassinate Kirk. The former security chief, Brian Harpole, alleged that Owens, a right-wing firebrand, inaccurately accused him of meeting with Kirk's wife, Erika, at a military base a day before Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University in September. He is also suing Mitch Snow, a retired Army sergeant who stated on Owens' podcast that he was an eyewitness to what he described as the secret encounter. In the 69-page lawsuit, Harpole, who owns a private security firm and worked for Kirk for several years, accused Owens of "engaging in a coordinated and deliberate campaign designed to defame" him. He denied any involvement in any plot to assassinate Kirk and called Owens a "conspiracy theorist" who displayed a "pattern of seeking public attention and media exposure."
... A spokesperson for Owens said she had no comment beyond what she said on her podcast. Snow did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ... In July, Owens was sued for defamation by Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, for claiming she is transgender.... Last month, Trump got involved, posting on Truth Social that Owens is an "extremely Low IQ individual" and sharing a doctored image that referred to Owens as "vile person of the year." He also called Owens' claims about Brigitte Macron "despicable." Two members of Congress this week introduced a bipartisan House resolution condemning Owens, as well a left-wing livestreamer, for "antisemitic hate-filled rhetoric."
KanekoaTheGreatThe fact that Cavernous Nostrils knew that Harpole wasn't anywhere near Fort Huachuca the day the French/Israeli/Egyptian/US Military assassination-plotters were meeting will satisfy the absurd rule in defamation that you can only be sued for defaming a public figure if you acted with "reckless indifference" as to whether your defmation was true or false.
@KanekoaTheGreat
BREAKING: Brian Harpole -- Charlie Kirk's chief of security -- has filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens and her source Mitchell Snow. Owens publicly accused Harpole of conspiring with the U.S. military at Fort Huachuca to assassinate Charlie Kirk, alongside Erika Kirk, Rep. Mark Amodei, and Cabot Phillips. Her own words promoting the story: "Charlie Kirk was assassinated and our military was involved. I can't wait to share this information with you guys." The story rested entirely on Mitchell Snow, who claimed he "inadvertently" walked into a top-secret meeting at the Army base on September 9, 2025 -- the day before the assassination -- where Harpole and twelve lieutenant colonels were allegedly finalizing the plot to assassinate Charlie Kirk. Per the complaint, the claim is verifiably false: → Harpole was in Dallas that morning.
→ He has never been to Fort Huachuca.
→ Owens had his flight records -- she admitted as much on X -- yet kept publishing anyway. From the complaint: "Without even a modicum of substantiated evidence, she has publicly accused Harpole of foreknowledge, participation in, and cover-up of the assassination of Charlie Kirk." 69 pages. Jury trial demanded. Seeking millions of dollars. Filed today in Tennessee.
Dana Loesch reminded me the other day that Gal Sharpton's first attention-getting media play was... doxxing GamerGate conservatives. Cavernous Nostrils has since advanced a new conspiracy theory: All of the defamation lawsuits against her are not caused by her rapid-fire Tourettes-like machine-gun defamation of everyone in the world, but by... Perfidious Jew Ben Shapiro.

@bren45000 2h Candace is having a Britney Spears moment. Let me explain what she just said: 1. Candace slanders Erika Kirk and accuses her of murdering her husband. 2. Candace implies that Charlie's head of security actually wanted him to be assassinated ... and intentionally orchestrated his murder. 3. Laura Loomer got annoyed with Candace attacking innocent people and decided to hit back by exposing some dirt from Candace's history--her husband's DUI and firearm charge. 4. And now Candace, instead of taking any responsibility whatsoever, has decided that the REAL CULPRIT behind everything is actually ....... Ben Shapiro ...... because he is a Jew. Makes complete sense. Nothing delusional at all about this.

One of them was Epistemic Closure in which Tucker signals that a question has been settled (to convince the audience) when it hasn’t.
He uses phrases like “this is well known” (as he did… https://t.co/DVmCIFdAhd

Not only is her "husband" gay, but a while back Candace wrote an op/ed about why it actually is perfectly fine for a straight women to marry a gay man as long as he's nice to her and pays her bills. Reads more like a confession than an argument.

Speaking of mice: My big black Stirling cat has racked up a kill!
Well, I *think* he did. This morning I found a still little mouse body on the bedroom floor. He did not look mutilated, so perhaps Stirling (I'm pretty sure it was him and not Dagny, but who knows) just knocked him around until he died. Anyway, I tossed the body out on the front lawn, to return him to the environment.
That was about 8 am. At 8:30 I left the apartment and looked, and he was gone. Either he was unconscious and not dead when I found him -- I didn't check for mouse breathing -- woke up and ran away, or a crow or feral cat got itself a treat this morning.

I read a bit of background - Harpole had tickets and travel receipts proving that he was in DFW at the time this alleged meeting in Arizona took place. He provided this info to Candace when she told him she was looking at it - and she then publicly accused him of being at that meeting AFTER she was shown the evidence that he was 2 states away at the time.
This is most likely enough to pass the "Actual Malice" test for a defamation lawsuit. Candace knew the accusations were false when she broadcast them.
Posted by: Tom Servo at May 04, 2026 05:05 PM (rGqqI)
Everything is a question. "Just wondering!" "Just asking...!" I think it's mainly a way of avoiding lawsuits, but there's no value to a bunch of questions without answers. Any 2 year old can ask questions.

Ita the same phenomenon ace observed on this very page 20 years ago with John Fucking Kerry. 'Some people say' is the same passive aggressive cock gobbling that 'Just asking questions' is now. It allows you to say something outrageous and then if someone calls your ass, you retreat to it just being something you heard or that you were asking a question.

R - Yes, the Hodgetwins (Keith and Kevin Hodge) have historically and consistently defended Tucker Carlson.
Defending Content and Narrative: The Hodgetwins have defended Carlson against criticism regarding his interviews and narratives, arguing that he was targeted for not conforming to mainstream media narratives.
Support via Media: They have featured discussions on their platforms, including appearing on Megyn Kelly's show to argue that leaked videos of Carlson actually "humanized" him rather than damaging his reputation.
Alignment on Issues: The Hodgetwins have aligned with Carlson on various, sometimes controversial, political stances, including criticizing US foreign policy and, in some instances, joining him in questioning pro-Israel perspectives within the conservative movement.
Support for Supporters: They have amplified support for Carlson from other figures, such as highlighting* when JD Vance defended him at Turning Point USA.
They are part of a broader "internet right" ecosystem that often acts as a protective, media-focused coalition for figures like Carlson and Donald Trump.

Key highlights as of May 2026:
Podcast Appearance & Political Discussion: Charlie Sheen appeared on the "Hodgetwins Podcast" (published May 2, 2026), where he discussed Tucker Carlson, suggesting that many people would support a presidential bid from him. (More)
So, Tucker Carlson's Neoconservative or part of the Left to takedown Trump BUT not outright saying so * as son, Buckley, continues to work for J.D. Vance.

A majority of French citizens now believe they are witnessing a demographic replacement of the French population by non-European populations, mainly from Africa.
66 percent of French respondents view the demographic change as a negative development.

No, Buckley Carlson is no longer with Vice President JD Vance's office. As of April 2026, he left his position as deputy press secretary to transition into the private sector, specifically to start a political consulting firm.
While reports noted his departure during tensions between his father, Tucker Carlson, and the administration, officials stated he planned to leave in December 2025 and stayed for a smooth transition.

They would just find a way to shoehorn Jews into the other topic anyway. Find UFO researchers that were ELOW (Early Life on Wikipedia) and, after controversial debunkings, mysteriously disappeared (into a Mossad asset protection program?!? just asking!!). Or, find a newly discovered ancient Judaic tradition of faking cryptids. Or something.
It's a lazy man's cult leader technique. You need the appearance of having secret wisdom that the mark can't get anywhere else, so once you latch onto a thematic element in your secret history of the world, just keep on elaborating on it in every other context. Don't make it too complicated, or you'll trip yourself up trying to remember which things are Illuminati and which are reptilians (BIRM).

US CIS Adopts New Aggressive Posture in Rooting Out Immigration Fraud and Denaturalizing Fraudsters: "USCIS Is Declaring an All-Out War on Immigration Fraud"
Meanwhile, fully invaded-and-occupied Sweden shuts the open borders door twenty years too late:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters. "We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News. ... Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
... In one early test of the heightened scrutiny, USCIS's Operation Twin Shield in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area uncovered suspected fraud in 275 of more than 1,000 cases reviewed during a 10-day surge of site visits and interviews. Edlow declared the operation part of a broader crackdown. "USCIS is declaring an all-out war on immigration fraud," he said. "We will relentlessly pursue everyone involved in undermining the integrity of our immigration system and laws." ... Individuals found to have committed immigration fraud, particularly in procuring naturalization through concealment of material facts, willful misrepresentation or illegal means, face potential denaturalization and subsequent deportation, according to U.S. law and ongoing enforcement actions. .. Recent examples include filings against naturalized citizens involved in tax fraud schemes, identity concealment to evade prior deportation orders and naturalization fraud via fake divorce decrees.

- Stable income
- NOT having received social benefits
- Swedish language exam
- Exam on Swedish values and society If you don't speak the language or don't demonstrate that you understand how Sweden works → they won't give you citizenship. Will this be the end of progressive Sweden?

Sweden was already the end of Sweden. About 99% certain the country and eventually the culture is already doomed unless something spectacular, horrific and wholly necessary goes on up there. And I just don't think *any* of the scandanavian nations as it in them to get it done.
This will ruffle some feathers but more than one woman here in the states has told me that Sweden is exhibit A in why they're starting to question the 19th amendment. Too many childless middle aged women are practically suicidal, and too many younger women listen to them.

According to it, the British imported tons of cheap African labor into majority white cities to undercut the white workers.
Soon, the population of those cities was over 50% African, so the natives (Afrikaners) tried to take steps to preserve their culture and way of life. Apartheid was the result - and we see how that turned out. Probably really simplified, but it made sense.
Hopefully European countries react before it's too late, but it's probably too late already.

But the most-common definition is just Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Checking DDG, the whole first page agrees on the three-country version, except for the website "ThoughtCo" that lists only the five-country one. Though the only good-enough-for-college reference on page one was Encyclopedia Britannica. It's mostly mapping-software and tourism-related links.

Brits (and other European powers) loved divide and conquer in its colonies by siding with this faction and then that faction. They had fought the Boer wars to essentially grab the diamond mines for example and were perfectly content to play the Boers off against the newcoming cheap labor forces.
Divide and conquer let the colonizers keep order with fewer troops than simply occupation.

Every society has elites complaining about the work ethic of the locals and wanting cheap labor. Eternal constant because none of the ruling class much likes to break a sweat (or their back) doing hard manual labor.
Societies that make common labor expensive may hurt profitability of corporations and land barons but have less social unrest, petty crime, and welfare usage as a consequence.
The best social welfare program in the world is a job, preferably private sector.

Why invent new words when you have perfectly good old ones that say the same thing? No need to invent words like "glove" or "bat" when "hand-shoe" and "flutter-mouse" work.

Sybilla was the only sane option, despite her penchant for betrayal. Or because of it. Going with Hobson would have pissed off Sybilla, and she would have made sure that Mazzini would hang for the murders. She didn't know the details, but she knew that he'd done it.
Of course, Mazzini made it all a moot point by leaving his memoirs in his cell...

In Russian, the German language is "nyemyetski." From the word "nyemoy," which means "mute" or "unable to speak." Thus encapsulating the Russians' view of said language.

Speaking of mice: My big black Stirling cat has racked up a kill!
Well, I *think* he did. This morning I found a still little mouse body on the bedroom floor. He did not look mutilated, so perhaps Stirling (I'm pretty sure it was him and not Dagny, but who knows) just knocked him around until he died. Anyway, I tossed the body out on the front lawn, to return him to the environment.
That was about 8 am. At 8:30 I left the apartment and looked, and he was gone. Either he was unconscious and not dead when I found him -- I didn't check for mouse breathing -- woke up and ran away, or a crow or feral cat got itself a treat this morning.

Self-Proclaimed "Snapchat King" Eric Swalwell Sent Videos of Himself Masturbating to More Women, and Is Also Now Using Snapchat to Attack Women for Talking About His Masturbation Videos
Snapchat is a messaging app whose chief selling point is that messages and photos disappear after being viewed or after a period of time (if unviewed). It is purpose-built for adultery and dicpics.
Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell was accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages, including "videos of him masturbating," after becoming one of the first members of Congress to join Snapchat in an effort to restore "faith" in "democracy." In a bombshell report on Sunday -- less than a month after Swalwell resigned from Congress after being accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women -- CNN spoke to "more than a dozen" women who claimed the congressman had made them feel uncomfortable, both in person and online, over the past decade. Several women told CNN that the congressman had sent them sexually explicit messages on Snapchat after he became "one of the first lawmakers to join Snapchat" and was heralded in the media as "the Snapchat king of Congress," according to CNN. "We can restore a lot of faith that people have in their democracy by opening it up a little bit more," Swalwell told The Hill in 2016 after joining the messaging service. "Snapchat is a great way to do that."
And he's still doing it. Even as he's being investigated (supposedly) in California and New York for rape, he's still sending out Snapchat messages to his victims. John Sexton, quoting CNN:
However, it allegedly wasn't long before the congressman began to use his Snapchat account for purposes other than politics. One young woman claimed Swalwell would send her Snapchat messages about her future, before asking inappropriate questions such as, "What are you wearing?" Two other women told CNN that Swalwell sent them "sexually explicit messages and unsolicited nude photos and videos of himself" in 2021, while a third woman also claimed to have received "sexually tinged messages and videos." ... During the relationship, Swalwell reportedly sent "nude photos of himself and videos of him masturbating," which showed the congressman's "face and naked body." The videos, which were saved by the woman, were shown to CNN. "His stories would be his, like, congressional content, but then he would be sending me dick pics," she alleged, adding that Swalwell sent her another "explicit video" late last year, just weeks before he announced his 2026 California gubernatorial campaign. In another alleged case, Swalwell reportedly wrote a letter of recommendation for a woman he had never met after sending her flirty Snapchat messages about her "sexy pajamas."
Another young woman who connected online with Swalwell about a policy issue said he repeatedly sent her suggestive messages, offered to fly her to DC, and even wrote her a letter of recommendation despite never meeting in person. "He would Snapchat me. He'd be like, 'What do you want to do with your future?'" she recalled. "And then he'd be like, 'What are you wearing right now?'" More than a dozen women who spoke with CNN described interactions with Swalwell that made them uncomfortable over the last decade, from social media messages to in-person encounters to alleged attempts by the congressman to lure them to his hotel room. Some asked not to be named out of fear of retaliation. ... Similarly, Swalwell met Amanda Koski, a former Hill staffer and political operative, when she served him and his family while waitressing at a DC pizza restaurant. He asked for her phone number and later started messaging her about her involvement in politics, she told CNN... The night after CNN spoke with Azari about the women's claims, Swalwell sent Koski a Snapchat message at 1:57 a.m. Eastern -- asking why she had screenshotted his chats and including screencaps of texts between the two of them. "Given the accusations against him, attempting to gaslight or intimidate a woman on Snapchat at 2:00 a.m. isn't overly becoming of a person who has 'done no wrong,'" Koski told CNN.Why are you saying I sexually harassed you when I sent you pictures of my dick? I wasn't harassing you. I just wanted your medical opinion about whether the mole on the tip of my penis looks cancerous or sexy. I thought it looked like a helmeted Cindy Crawford but I was a little worried about the uneven edges.

There are dueling trends on social media.
Men: "I'm gonna say something, and don't get mad about it", implying sexual attraction to a large breasted woman with glasses but who is also certifiably crazy.
Women: "I'm gonna say something, and don't get mad about it," implying sexual attraction to Pyramid Head from Silent Hill or some kind of ripped monster trying to tear a woman to shreds

3. What is this person's gender?
How to answer question 3
Select the response that indicates the person's gender. The write-in response "Or please specify this person's gender" is included to allow people to self-identify in an inclusive and respectful way.
A person's gender may differ from their sex at birth and from what is indicated on their current identification or legal documents, such as their birth certificate, passport or driver's licence. A person's gender may change over time. Some people may not identify with a specific gender.
Respondents answering on behalf of other people in their household, such as parents answering on behalf of their children, should answer—to the best of their knowledge—what they think other household members would answer.

Because the poor dear went 39 seconds without access to his lawyer while in the ICE detention center.
But the J6 folks deserve 3 years in solitary before rubber-stamping a decade-long conviction for "parading without a license."
They are cartel judges because they don't work for Americans but will whore themselves out to any enemy that waves a few dollars in their faces.

There's no such thing as an addiction to porn.
No guy is out there pawning his vacuum cleaner to buy a few pics of naked girls.
Or losing his job 'cause he got lost in a haze of jerking it all day.
Slapping his cock on skid row begging, "just one more erection, please!"
Addiction here, blames the product, not the consumer.

Iran Fires on Ships and US Navy Responds by Sinking Six of their "Fast Assault Boats"
Live Updates: U.S. sinks 6 small Iranian boats as Iran launches attacks on UAE and a ship in Strait of Hormuz Iran launched its first missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates since a ceasefire with the U.S. took effect on April 8, and it fired two drones at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE authorities said Monday. The U.S. military said two commercial vessels safely transited the strait amid "efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping" under the Project Freedom initiative announced by President Trump. The Iranian regime says it received a U.S. response to its latest 14-point peace proposal, which it says is aimed at ending the war, not extending the current ceasefire. Mr. Trump said over the weekend that he'd likely reject the Iranian proposal, as "they have not paid a big enough price."Trump just stated that hostilities were officially concluded, backdating this to the start of the "hot ceasefire." That satisfies the 60-days-without-congressional-authorization demand of the unconstitutional War Powers Act. What Iran absolutely should not do is attack American ships, because that would give Trump full legal authorization to counterattack them on his own authority. And guess what they say they did?
... Iranian state media said earlier that forces fired "warning" shots, including missiles and drones, at a U.S. destroyer as it neared the Strait of Hormuz in the Sea of Oman. CENTCOM said two U.S.-flagged commercial vessels transited the strait Monday under the auspices of Project Freedom, an initiative announced by President Trump on Sunday for the U.S. military to guide ships through the waterway. Iranian authorities insist the strait is closed and only vessels with explicit permission from its military will be permitted to pass, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent insisted Monday that the U.S. has full control over the waterway.Apparently they're now claiming they didn't attack-attack Navy ships. I don't know if they did or they didn't. I think their statement that they did should be taken at face value. Trump announced that US Navy ships will escort tankers through the Strait, beginning today, in another attempt to defeat Iran's use of the price of oil against him.
President Trump said the U.S. Navy will start guiding ships from foreign countries through the Strait of Hormuz from Monday and warned that if Iran tries to disrupt the process, the American military will use force. Why it matters: This move that Trump called "Project Freedom" is the most significant step by his administration to try and reopen the key strait since Iran shut it down early in the war. While Trump claims the move is "humanitarian," it is a clear U.S. challenge to Tehran's effort to control the strait. An Iranian military response could spark a confrontation or even an escalation back to war.Iran's attempt to shut down the free navigation of ships is also an act of war that authorizes Trump's retaliation on his own authority. Update: CENTCOM is using slippery language -- they say they'll be guiding ships through the Strait, not escorting them. I am guessing this is for legal reasons. Trump doesn't want his domestic disloyal opposition claiming that if he "escorts" ships that's a violation of the War Powers Act.

Looks like Trump is now going to stick US ships out there and hope Iran shoots at them, justifying the restart of full hostilities.
Iran knows that, and so far will try to shoot at everything around the US ships but not directly at them.

Truth Social
Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

President Trump isn't stupid so I don't see him being jacked around until 2027. But still. I imagine there's internal power struggles making things difficult.
On the plus side, the wells will be shut down soon so things will develop one way or another. Iran's new export can be virulent anti-Americanism.

Looking to me like what I had hoped for and sort of expected. Force the Strait open. Iran has to appear to try to resist, which (more importantly than stupid legal issues) will present to opportunity to degrade their last meaningful capability, actually to defeat it outright.
Assuming we liked what we've been seeing from the blockade/financial offensive, and wanted to give it time. Now we've assessed it's time to move back to kinetic solutions, as we can provoke Iran by perfectly nice sounding things like free navigation through an international waterway.

Obama's Libya campaign lasted for 9 months.

Congress sued the president.
The courts tossed the suit.
Why? Well, Congress has funding power and can defund the operation whenever they want.
The War Powers Act may be of dubious constitutionality, but it's simply dead letter as long as Congress refuses to actually exercise its funding power which it hasn't done in like a hundred years.
Trump played it smart by emphasizing the pause in hostilities which brings it in alignment with the text of the War Powers Act, but he didn't really need to.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at May 04, 2026 01:40 PM (Y2NSe)

While I agree, that was under a Democrat president and congress (and the media) would behave very differently if Trump tried that.
Trump played it smart by emphasizing the pause in hostilities which brings it in alignment with the text of the War Powers Act, but he didn't really need to.
I agree completely with his interpretation; if any military act at all instantly invokes the law, then any cessation of it should end its applicability. There is literally no mechanism in the law to say "these are the conditions under which the law allows you to attack again."

President DJT made the right move - The US is simply enforcing the right of passage through the Hormuz Strait. No sane state in the in world disputes that right. Providing "guidance" to commercial shipping is as old as the US Mediterranean Squadron patrolling the sea lanes around the Barbary pirate lairs (the "shores of Tripoli", as the Hymn goes). More than two hundred years of tradition.
Safe shipping, lower gas prices, happier allies, punishing pirates. A couple weeks of this and P-DJT can go to Congress and write his own ticket if he wants. I'd prefer that and a "Naval Construction Act". Waiting SIX years for the USS Stennis refit is outrageous!

Or...
"Ukraine's air force reported that Russia launched at least 6,804 long-range drones and missiles into Ukraine in April, according to daily data published by the force and analyzed by ABC News, marking the most intense month of long-range aerial attacks of the war to date.
Ukraine's air force said it faced 6,663 drones and 141 missiles over one month of overnight attacks, of which nearly 88% of the drones and more than 62% of the missiles were intercepted or suppressed by Ukrainian defenses. [I say this needs a confirmation]
Ukraine faced a nightly average of around 222 drones and four missiles through April, the data suggests.
April's figures surpass the previous monthly record set in March, when Russia launched a total of 6,600 munitions -- 6,462 drones and 138 missiles -- per daily data published by the air force in Kyiv."

AH-64 Apache and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters used just this morning to eliminate six Iranian small boats threatening commercial shipping
I don't think the Navy normally operates the Apache.
The Marines OTOH...
Posted by: Martini Farmer at May 04, 2026 01:36 PM (jehhT)
Navy MH-60s can carry Hellfire missiles. Anti-tank missiles that can easily destroy small boats.
The Marines operate AH-1Z Cobras.
Apaches and Cobras can carry pretty much the same missiles and missile load out. Apaches have a 30mm gun and 1200 rounds; AH-1Z Vipers (nee Cobras) have a 20mm gun and 750 rounds. If Apaches are being employed as convoy escorts they may flying escort sorties from a special Forward Arming and Vipers based on the in-area Amphib carriers or in land-based Marine Air Wings, could do the same, of course. However, it seems to me FARPS near the Strait would be prime targets for Iranian drones and short-medium range ballistic missiles. I do not believe either helo can be equipped with an air refueling probe kit.

According to a story over at Hot Air which appears credible, Hegseth and his group recommended a much more powerful military response to Trump on Thursday night. Trump chose to hold off on their recommendation for the time being. Hopefully events will push that plan into operation very soon.
If there's any doubt, I am strongly in favor of Trump following the actual recommendations of Hegseth, Cooper, and Caine.

So, we are now down to the laughably AUMF resolutions and the War Powers Resolution that every president declared was unconstitutional except for its reporting functions.
Trump is treating the War Power Resolution with the contempt it deserves by reporting to Congress a couple of days ago as per the Resolution that hostilities were concluded and thus the sixty day reset has occurred.
Scotus ain't gonna save the Dems bacon here because in such matters--even Dread Justice Taney in the Prize cases ruled that the president has war powers independent of congressional declarations. And that includes responding to threatened or actual retaliatory strikes.

And UAE is building more pipeline right now to bipass the straight.

To eliminate Iran's nuclear stockpile and to prevent Iran from building another nuclear stockpile for military purposes.
That's it.
Iran doesn't want to give up its weapons-grade nuclear stockpile and its ballistic missile capability (which Iran has repeatedly used against its neighbors) for delivering them.
"Closing" the Strait of Hormuz is Iran's most potent weapon for defending itself against the US and its allies.
Re-opening the Strait doesn't resolve the Iranian nuclear stockpile question, but it does weaken significantly the terrorist nation's capabilities.

Ask the 1988-era crew of USS Samuel B Roberts. Hit an Iranian mine and nearly was lost with a broken keel, but through superhuman efforts, the crew saved the ship.
The US retaliation was Operation Praying Mantis a few days later, when the US Navy sank a good portion of Iran's naval assets in a one day operation.

Send constant encrypted traffic on the VLF, most of it nonsense. Difficult to tell if there's launch/guidance commands being sent unless you can break the encryption in real-time.
Of course, then that means your ground stations become great big targets, but there's always a trade-off.

Woke Pope Appoints an Illegal Alien as Bishop of West Virginia to Speak In Favor of Mass Amnesty, in a State That Is Only 2% Hispanic
Via Instapundit, reports that the pope is a woke buffoon and leftwing culture warrior have been proven 100% true, by his own actions.
The Washington Post
@washingtonpost Pope Leo's pick to be bishop of West Virginia is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the U.S. in a car trunk. Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala has called for Catholics to speak out against President Trump's treatment of immigrants.
Hello! Happy New Week!
Steve Deace
@SteveDeaceShow This was not a dreamer. Evelio originally came here from El Salvador illegally as a grown man in 1990. He had already been deported at least once before. Soon after his arrival, he was granted TPS because of the civil war back home. Eventually learned English and became a US citizen in 2006. His is a sympathetic case from a bygone era when most of America thought we could look the other way at such things given the overall prosperous state of things. But we are not now in that era. Our national debt is now over 1,000% higher than it was when Evelio first arrived. Illegal immigration has swelled over 300%. Whole industries have replaced the American-born family man with illegal aliens. The amount of school children who only speak Spanish has doubled since 1990. The median age of a first time home buyer in 1990 was 28-30, while today it is 41. It was twice as likely a 30-year old man would be married with children in 1990 compared to now. Barely 2% of West Virginia is Hispanic. Barely 1% of the state speaks Spanish. This is a purely political appointment by a woke pope trying to shoehorn his open borders agenda into a state Trump has won by 40 points three times. There's nothing prophetic here, but it's all shamefully political. An open borders agenda the pope himself isn't forced to abide by, because Vatican City has strict enforcement policies and walls. This is like if MSNBC picked offices in the church, all the while never allowing the illegals in Martha's Vineyard where their primetime hosts spend their summers.

I really don't think the Pope's heavyhanded approach to politics is actually going to push the laity back to the left.
Hell, I attend church in the Diocese of Charlotte under Bishop Michael Martin, center of a series of big-ish blowups around the Latin mass.
No one cares. The priests never talk about it. The priests are all shockingly based (young guys less than a decade out of seminary, the African one in particular is based, who all take the mass much more seriously than the older ones they replaced) who stay away from politics and focus on the individual soul's obligations to God.
The American Church is going to change from the ground up, and the loss of govt contracts for Catholic Charities is going to accelerate that. Doesn't mean the next Pope will be Sarah, or anyone like him, but the overbearing political efforts are really going to fall on deaf ears.

It has survived other popes. It will certainly outlast this one.
It’s unfortunate he displays his fallibility in such a public way, by demurring to politic instead of tending the flock.
More people are coming back to church to find the unending love and truth of Jesus Christ. I can tell you first hand most don’t care what the pope says or does. They come to build their relationship with Jesus, in a traditional way according to scripture, not according to some obviously flawed Augustinian prelate

The Worldies are a proto-neo-ethnicity -- which is Morissettean ironic, since they fancy themselves above such things. From all over the world, they all send their kids to the same English-language schools, where they are indoctrinated in the same Social Justice cult and go on to marry only each other. It's early days yet, but ever since the invention of the jet airliner, the process has been inevitable.
And they're supremacists, too, for their proto-neo-ethnicity. So, even when they accidentally encounter an opinion from an unhyphenated national, they immediately discount and disregard it.

Reminds me, David French gave a long interview to some leftie podcast.
Used his adopted child as a prop. Because, of course he would.
Some story how in Memphis she and her friends were almost run down and called racist names by some guys in a pick up truck.
the conservative response, "yeah that never, ever happened"
The lefties are all, "you are and always will be conservative scum, having a black daughter will never absolve you of being a racist."

That is the thinnest of the thinnest gruel upon which to claim that the massive religious bureaucracy and hierarchy of the Catholic Church was ordained in that moment, or that a permanent position of supreme leader of the church was created to be filled serially by heretics, nepots, degenerates, South American socialists, and the occasional actual Christian following Catholic dogma. It's a manmade institution based on a couple of verses subject to differing interpretation.

A former illegal immigrant seems a rather interesting choice for a state that's overwhelmingly white and MAGA. I wonder if the Pope did that deliberately.
Sounds like the Pope is doing proper Pope things by giving us the medicine we need. "Bishop-designate Evelio Menjivar-Ayala speaks of the Christian values of caring for those in need, in opposition to President Trump's own xenophobic and racist rhetoric."
Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.Hes a human, child of god and now the bishop of West Virginia.
Yeah, we see Christian nationalist evangelicals in the US embracing and praising serial lawbreakers, cheats, and generally bad people. Pope Leo is a refreshing change of pace from that outright hostility to what is good and just.
So now we have to watch Roman Catholicism fight Christian Nationalism. I thank the pope for using his influence to undermine the current regime but it would be nice if we could put all the mythology away.
West Virginia will remain red as long as Obama remains black.

A bishop has a public schedule where he will say Mass. Since he's in charge of the entire diocese, he tends to rotate the locations he says Mass each week, although he tends to say them most often at a Cathedral (if the diocese has one and he normally lives near that Cathedral).
A priest is assigned to a specific Church, and will say Masses just for that Church. Normally, in a healthy diocese, each Church will have 2-3 priests rotating the 5-6 Masses said on a weekend and the 2 daily Masses every weekday. In a less healthy or very small diocese, you might just have 1 priest per Church or even shared between 2 Churches. Then you have a reduced Mass schedule offered.

I 've heard of a priest handling masses at several church. I haven't heard of a Bishop regularly filing in at one church. Bishops in other denominations show up when invited and do special events and do a lot of writing on various issues. You don't see them regularly unless you are being ordained so if WV has a small Roman Catholic population and already has priests it seems like he wouldn't show up that often.

Correct, hypocrisy means nothing to the left. Firstly, they have no integrity or honor to be offended or have shame about.
Second, the goal is not truth or to convince, its to conquer, to destroy. They are trying to bring down the culture and replace it, and to them it doesn't matter how you do it, only the end goal matters. It is so noble and heroic that it sanctifies any method they use.
Third, good and evil are rejected as outmode, oppressive concepts created by white males. Truth is what you make it, morality is simply that which accomplishes their ends.

A driver plowed into people in the center of the German city of Leipzig on Monday, leaving two people dead, authorities said.
The city's fire service director, Axel Schuh, said that another two people were seriously injured and taken to hospitals. He said that about 20 additional people were “affected,” without offering details.
Much about the incident remained unclear.

-They got a DA elected who said on tape that he wanted to kill a man and his entire family for disagreeing with him politically.
-They got a governor elected who said that she hated the state she now governs.
-They got a former Klan leader considered the "conscience of the Senate"
-They got a racist child molester into the presidency.
-They got a man who murdered his date and hid in a bar called the "Lion of the Senate"

What I have suspected for some time, and am now sure of, is that because of the complete lack of any real leadership in the Dem Party (with all the 80 and 90 years olds slowly fading away) what's happened is the radical online groups have taken over, at least enough to swing primary elections. The most radical shit-posters and shit-talkers are the biggest winners, and their supporters are completely divorced from even the thought of any real world consequences.
It's much like the woman in Minnesota who was shocked that law enforcement was using real bullets. Everything to them is just one big LARP, and they think that if things go real bad they get to just hit reset and play again.

The Republican Guard's Taregh patrol boats were relatively new to its fleet when I was flying on them during Operation Earnest Will in '87.
They've been upgraded a few times since then with more lethal, longer-range armament.
Still easy to take out, though, if need be.

Everything I've read leads me to believe that the US Command didn't take them seriously, which I think has proven to be a mistake. On the other hand, it's been estimated that Iran may have 3,000 of these, and while in harbor they are virtually indistinguishable from civilian boats.
Now me, I would have ordered every dock and port facility in the straits completely destroyed no matter what it looked like it was, but that didn't happen.

As you probably know, Las Vegas was a significant LDS city back in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up there (enjoyed many of the city & school leadership positions).
Virtually all of my high school friend were LDS, and they were always (lovingly) trying to convert me -- especially the babes! -- and I remain close to a handful to this day (all rock-ribbed patriotic conservatives; for the past four years we've gotten together in Provo to watch a BYU football game -- No More Scenic and Gorgeous Venue)!
Anywho, (sans individuals like Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, etl. al., I have tremendous respect for those of the LDS faith (even if the church leadership appears to have gone wobbly as regards #Woke).

The carrier groups are just the military side of things. The banking and diplomatic side are also hammering on the IRGC right now.
My prediction, delved out of my belly-button, is: Trump will start allowing the tankers that pay the Iranian bribe to sail, but will require the proceeds of the oil be funneled to an "Iranian state account" in a place like Qatar. Like Venezuela's forced agreement with the US the oil will be sold at market rates and the funds untouchable until the Iranians cry Uncle, and the ship owner will be recompensed out of that account for the bribe they paid to the IRGC to sail.

What does West Virginia not being Hispanic got to do with ANYTHING in this story?
Who cares? Or are you saying the Pope should pick bishops based on racial/ethnic lines?
The real question is whether it was a political appointment to poke Trump in the eye or not. Because the selection of a bishop should have nothing to do with politics. (Also, yes, the Roman church has spent about 1,500 years choosing leaders based on politics. Doing that with the archbishopric of Mainz is part of what started Martin Luther's part of the Reformation.)

Thank you. Two things I am not is a hypocrite or blind. This is the only way I pray for Leo and barely think of him otherwise. Which I may find out is wrong. However, being a conservative Presbyterian all of my life except the last two months is to blame. I stand firmly in what the PCA taught me. They don't bend to secular woke desires.
The main reason I left a perfectly good PCA Presbyterian local church is the lack of traditional music. The awful praise music, leaving the history of great music behind. The casualness of people during sermons getting coffee. The same message of the sermon, from a good pastor, weekly.
Whatever you find, wherever you find worship in your heart of God and the Trinity, there is where you need to be. Music plays a huge part of my worship and a piano, violin and great voices are what I desire at 0830 Mass.
I simply found my best worship in a local and huge Catholic parish in a conservative state. What they do in Rome barely makes my news, thoughts or prayers. My soul is all I need to save.
