The SPLC Paid "Unite the Right" -- AKA Boost the Left -- $250,000 and Reaped Over $50 Million in Fundraising Off Its Investment In Manufactured "White Supremacy"
The Rate of Return on "racism" is incredible. "Racism" should be in everybody's investment portfolio!
And the political benefits -- incalculable!
Disinformation Expert LizzyI mentioned that the SPLC funded the fake "Unite the Right" rally that serves the Democrat-Media Complex's main op during the 2020 election. But I didn't know how deep SPLC's stage-managing of a "white supremacist rally" went.
@StarChamberMaid Not a bad investment: $270K--->$81.6M If only the left were that good with taxpayer money. SPLC should be dissolved and the officers thrown in jail.
We already knew that the "fine people" hoax was based on the lie that Trump called white supremacists "fine people," instead of, as he did, condemning them. But until yesterday, we didn't know that the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville and whose protest led to the death of one person were bused there on the Southern Poverty Law Center's dime, and were organized to be there by an SPLC "informer."They funded the riot, organized the riot, bused the marchers to the riot -- and then fundraised off of liberals, promising to stop the very organization that was their paid-for pet!
Two weeks after the Unite the Right Rally occurred, this is who donated to SPLC:
— Insurrection Barbie (@DefiyantlyFree) April 21, 2026
Publicly announced large gifts in the days following the rally:
•George and Amal Clooney: $1,000,000
•Apple / Tim Cook: $1,000,000
•JPMorgan Chase: $500,000 (to SPLC, split from $1M total with… https://t.co/zZRPwczJI3
Hans MahnckeI wonder which podcasters are being paid by SPLC front-groups.
@HansMahncke 4h It's almost surreal how the media and Democrats are whitewashing the allegations against the SPLC, casting them as the good guys who just happened to pay informants. Here's a quick sample of what's actually in the indictment: • "active promotion of racist groups"
• "made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC"
• "coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees"
• "directly paying leaders" (because nothing says "informant" like paying the guy in charge)
• "high-level SPLC employee who had knowledge the documents had been stolen"
• "donated funds would be used in the commission of state and federal crimes"
• "SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities" All of that will have to be proven in court, but these are nonetheless extremely serious allegations. The indictment describes a sprawling scheme involving money laundering through fictitious front companies, multi-million dollar fraud against donors, conspiracy, the commissioning of burglary and theft, as well as tax and 501(c)(3) violations tied to funding the activities which the SPLC publicly claims to oppose.
Here is one of the MOST obvious examples of completely FAKE “white supremacists”. You would literally have to be a brain dead, ideologically constipated psychopath to believe for one second that this was real. Or your average worthless Soros-affinity-group moron. https://t.co/QHCGxXMkhP

@kylenabecker The Critical Race Theory playbook demands that there be the appearance of virulent "right-wing" racism so that Woke crusaders have a justification to push "left-wing" racism -- aka DEI. The left's demand for racism outstrips the supply. So they just fabricate it.
Related: Texas AG is suing Democrat foreign fundraising operation ActBlue for fraud as well.
From TheTexas:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Democratic political fundraising platform ActBlue over its donation processes that allegedly “allow fraudulent and foreign donations.” According to the New York Times, ActBlue has processed nearly $19 billion in contributions since its 2004 inception. The organization reported $1.8 billion in 2025 alone, a 41 percent increase compared to 2021. Last year, ActBlue saw 1.35 million new donors add to its over 52 million contributions received. “The radical left has relied on ActBlue as a way to funnel foreign donations and dark money into their political campaigns to subvert our laws and compromise the integrity of our elections,” the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) said in an April 20 press release. Paxton alleged the organization has lied to Congress and “blatantly ignored state law that prohibits deceptive practices.” “In 2023, Attorney General Paxton opened an investigation into whether ActBlue was enabling donor fraud in violation of Texas law,” the press release stated.

And nobody in the Trump administration has the balls to arrest the officers, or, if they did, have the stamina to keep going through the endless years of appeals and changes of venues.
In other words, just more bukkake theater for the rubes.

Hmmm ... something I need to think on, but certainly possible.
My thinking is that it's the FBI that is supposed to infiltrate domestic terrorist groups or organizations (of course all those "white supremacist" ones).
I actually belonged to an Oath Keepers organization here in Northern AZ prior to J6. We laughed at the idiocy of Stewart Rhodes and others to go to Capitol Hill on J6 -- as it was obviously a Deep State PsyOp (and Reichstag fire trap).
Anywho, I asked our local organization's leader (who claimed to have connections in The Swamp) before then: "Why hasn't the FBI infiltrated BLaMtifa and why have there been no prosecutions against those domestic terrorist organizations." He replied "It's coming."
And here we are more than five years later and ... NADA.
My only conclusion is that the FBI was -- and still is -- in league with BLaMtifa.

One thing I think is important to remember despite our impatience that things aren't happening faster, every institution in our government has been captured for decades. They are all full of deep state actors at every level. Just because we win an election that doesn't mean the bureaucracy gives a crap what the politicians or we say.

A few of the ultratrad types - E Michael Jones, these days the "Christ is King" youtube, the 1Peter5 site on-occasion - do dabble in antiJewish rhetoric. Hard to know to what extent this is organic to the Church or if it's being paid for from outside the Church.
[inb4 garrett pounces on me again.]
The Latin Church historically prefers Augustine to John Chrysostom (who as I've noted did have a "real problem"). There's more nuance in the west than in the Byzantine east. Catholics do have to confess that the Jewish faith is wrong (or else, why be Catholic). That doesn't mean they have to spend all their time bitching about Jews. That's what the people I've noted get wrong IMO.
Why are they insisting on getting it wrong, is a question we might want answered.

Wow: The Hit on Kash Patel Was a Pre-Emptive Strike Arranged by the SPLC to Dirty Up His Image Before News of the Indictment Came Out?
I can't wait for Kash Patel's discovery of communications between the Atlantic, owner/Democrat lunatic Lauren Powell Jobs, and the SPLC.Now it becomes a bit clearer. The Atlantic published a vile and unsubstantiated hit piece on FBI Director Kash Patel right before he revealed an indictment of the SPLC for committing fraud by anonymously funding hate groups that organized "right-wing" rallies, one of which ended in the death of a bystander.Does Lauren Powell Jobs have some kind of many-years-old, pre-existing relationship with the SPLC? Coincidentally enough, she does!
Advertisement You know, the infamous Charlottesville rally upon which the "fine people" hoax was based. The Democrats and Pravda media, which have collaborated with the SPLC to smear conservatives for decades, are scrambling to defend the SPLC's illegal activities and, once again, smear Republicans for pointing out their perfidy. The Atlantic's hit piece on Patel, based entirely on anonymous sources and having no evidence to back them up, is obviously intended to "pre-bunk" anything Patel says. The claims in The Atlantic's story were bizarre. Kash Patel got blackout drunk. He was locked out of his computers. FBI agents considered using breaching equipment to force open his door, according to the report. He was unable to perform his duties because he was hungover. Etc. Etc.
Do you know who LOVED the SPLC? In fact, the SPLC was famously her first ever donation and inspired her entire philanthropic career?

The Emerson Collective's number one rule is to donate ANONYMOUSLY, which in most cases is the right and admirable thing to do UNLESS it's used to cover up bad deeds.

From CENTCOM:
"U.S. forces have directed 29 vessels to turn around or return to port as part of the U.S. blockade against Iran.
Over past 24 hours, media reports have alleged that several commercial ships evaded the blockade, citing M/V Hero II, M/V Hedy, and M/V Dorena as examples. These reports are inaccurate.
Hero II and Hedy did not sail past the blockade as part of a flotilla that “ferried” millions of barrels of oil to the market. In fact, the Iranian-flagged tankers are anchored in Chah Bahar, Iran, after being intercepted by U.S. forces earlier this week. Dorena has been under the escort of a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Indian Ocean after previously attempting to violate the blockade.
The U.S. military has global reach. American forces are operating and enforcing the blockade across the Middle East and beyond."

Mark Cuban is moving on from Kamala Harris.
When asked at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit Tuesday whether he wants to see the former vice president run for the nation’s top job again, Cuban quickly responded, “No.”
“Don’t remember, don’t care,” he said when asked to recall her health care message during her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. “Those days are gone.”
Harris signaled earlier this month she’s seriously considering entering the 2028 Democratic field.
“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network convention in New York.

And, I'm not convinced that the SPLC wasn't covering ALL the bases. It seems the charges reflect paying fringe groups to act a certain way to benefit the Left. But, we'd be stupid to think that they wouldn't, also, pay the usual suspect media outlets (large and small) to cover the story a specific way. And, obviously there is coordination which is plainly seen in the way always seem to apply the very same language and accusations.

“I think we’re about to enter into a period of MAAA. Make America Accountable Again. I think with Pam Bondi moved aside, the speed at which the Justice Department will move on things that have been working in the system for months is picking up.
I think in the summer and fall, we are going to talk a lot more about a case called "Operation Round River. Its goal was to neutralize anyone who would dare suggest there was a corrupt relationship between Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and the Ukrainian Government or the Ukrainian company Burisma.
All the people I’ve talked to in government think that Round River may be the most JAW-DROPPING of the four codename investigations that targeted Donald Trump and his followers.”

She'd have a broken coconut for a head with a bottle of Val-U-Rite strapped to her mouth with barbed wire and leather straps.

Recent deep source I saw said that Bill Clinton was a coked-fiend, always on the make, governor, who let the DEA use Arkansas as a drug hub, and that's where his 1992 campaign really came from.
Since then the Clinton family has been "mobbed up" with government agents.
Sure explains a lot, and how Hillary thinks that she should be able to coast as a drunkard.

'Fair' is a term they love to use. The rich must pay their FAIR share! Elections must be free and FAIR! Laws must be FAIR to everyone! Justice must be FAIR.
The word/term, used in a political context, must poll very favorable in the Dem's focus groups and internal polls. Why not? Everyone wants everything to ideally, be FAIR.
Professional propagandists, including psychologists who specialize in group persuasion and motivation, know precisely what words to use and in what contexts for specific political target groups.
The Left is nothing but propagandists. Some write it; many, many disseminate it.

A Condé Nast writer who owns a stunning $2.2 million brownstone home in Brooklyn proudly admitted to shoplifting because she believes it is not 'morally wrong' to steal from corporations.
The New Yorker contributor Jia Tolentino, 37, claimed stealing food from Whole Foods Market is not 'very significant' because the supermarket, which is owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, can afford the losses and mistreats its workers.
She admitted to pilfering small-value items, including lemons, to The New York Times during a sit-down with millionaire communist Hasan Piker and culture editor Nadja Spiegelman in a conversation about the rise of 'micro-looting' from shops.

New York Times: A Year After Their Very Deserved Mass-Firing, USAID Propagandists, Grifters, and Hangers-On Are Still Looking for New Jobs, and, Get This, Not Finding Many Employers Interested in Their Skill Set of Nothing At All
The New York Times' attempt to wring sympathy out of us for people who should have had these fake "jobs" in the first place, and are now actually forced to work for a living instead of just relying on their Democrat contacts to give them well-paid, no-work political sinecures, is absurd.
These people were making almost $200,000 per year -- and then dishing out fat government contracts to their family members who just happened to be in the USAID grant check-cashing business themselves.A Year After U.S.A.I.D.'s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss$175,000 per year as a tick on the belly of the taxpayer while the husband was himself grifting off the grants shoveled to left-wing groups by USAID. And they want you feel their pain. I do feel their pain -- and it is exquisite.
People have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers estimate that less than half have found full-time work. She was fired by email while on maternity leave, given 24 hours to clear out her desk and left with three days of health insurance and no severance pay. She had worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development or related groups for more than two decades. She made $175,000 a year. That was Jan. 28, 2025. Today Amy Uccello and her husband, who also lost his job when U.S.A.I.D. funding for his nonprofit dried up, rely on food stamps, Medicaid and a supplemental nutrition program for women and children that helps with their now 19-month-old daughter. The mortgage on their home in Washington was until recently in forbearance, meaning they negotiated to pay less than they owed each month. But the bank has now cut them off and suggested they apply for a low-income mortgage program. "We don't know if we'll qualify," Ms. Uccello said. She and her husband have applied for more than 100 jobs with no luck. Most of their friends don't have jobs either.
"I have such sights to show you....
Here is a Walmart application."
Nights are the hardest. "I can't sleep because of our own situation," Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. "I can't sleep because of what I know what's happening around the world. I can't sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering."
"Your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell!
BTW, Learn to Code."
When the Trump administration dismantled the sprawling global aid agency last year, it wiped out virtually an entire industry -- international development -- that had been based in Washington since U.S.A.I.D.'s creation in 1961 under President John F. Kennedy. Nearly all of the agency's 16,000 employees were laid off. An estimated 280,000 contractors, partners and local hires worldwide lost their jobs as well. A year later, people have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with friends and relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers who have done informal surveys estimate that less than half have found full-time work, with many making less than before. An estimated third are unemployed. Others are in part-time work. The District of Columbia currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 6.7 percent, in large part because of major reductions in the federal work force, including U.S.A.I.D., and cuts to government grants and contracts.
The Cenobites of DOGE are demons to some, angels to others
I hear Kinko's is hiring
Jobs are also gone at the many nonprofits and partner agencies once funded by U.S.A.I.D. "Everyone I know is also up the creek, all my bosses, my mentors, the people you would normally go to, the people providing me references," said Catherine Baker, 36, who, as a contractor, made $127,000 a year recruiting staff and helping to start up U.S.A.I.D. projects. Ms. Baker now volunteers as a manager for OneAid, which helps former U.S.A.I.D. workers, and works nine hours a week as a companion for two elderly women.

It wasn't direct donations, but it created a class of people who supported the Democrat Party socially, financially, and electorally.
Going from $275,000 a year to $17 an hour greatly, GREATLY reduces how much time and money they have to donate to the Democrat Party.
There are going to be effects.

>>> 7 This was an ecosystem.
It wasn't direct donations, but it created a class of people who supported the Democrat Party socially, financially, and electorally.
Going from $275,000 a year to $17 an hour greatly, GREATLY reduces how much time and money they have to donate to the Democrat Party.

At least 90% of that went to DC.
That's 5 Hollywood's box office in a single year just funding Democrat apparatchiks who did nothing but advocate for the Democrat Party for literally decades.
And it's now gone.
Even if a Democrat wins in 2028, they have to find ways to pay their bills for the next three years. Many will move out of the area. That's a long time to have reduced influence.

Oxfam summed up the effects: “The effect of these cuts on people is dire: at least 23 million children stand to lose access to education, and as many as 95 million people would lose access to basic healthcare, potentially leading to more than 3 million preventable deaths per year,” the charity estimated.
But for a workforce of more than 10,000 people inside USAID, like Enrich, the efforts felt like a wrecking ball. “It looked like a group of unqualified people that came in to replace decades of expertise and tore down an agency,” he says.
Vought cuts kill people’: Aids activists interrupt Trump budget chief hearing. An estimated 262,915 adults and 518,428 children died in the first year of cuts to aid, according to Impact Counter. By 2030, the cuts will likely lead to 14 million deaths, 4.5 million of them among children, according to a study in the Lancet.

There are basically two classes of "the rich"
One class has a high income and blows it all. Pretty much all of the Karens I know are in this class and even with high 100K to 200k+ incomes they are a couple paychecks away from bankruptcy
The other class has a mid to high income but basically saves it all. This is the class the left wants to tax because "they have too much money"

All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!”
Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split.
In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive.
As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!

There is a Rogue Trader/Warhammer 40K role play gaming.
As is standard in this sort of thing now you can romance a number of the NPCs who are mostly humans.
There is one Eldar woman, but if you romance her she just shows you how to meditate which actually makes sense for their race but then there is also a Dark Eldar guy and when you find out where his interests lie you have the option to turn him over to the Inquisition. Which you very much should do.

50 The District of Columbia currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation, at 6.7 percent, in large part because of major reductions in the federal work force, including U.S.A.I.D., and cuts to government grants and contracts

I'm in the DC area this week. Glad to hear these arrogant pricks aren't recession-proof anymore.
Yesterday I saw a stereotypical black Chevy Suburban whipping through traffic, tailgating, illegally driving on the wrong side of the road, etc. in stereotypical Federal dickhead fashion. I thought it was a "make way for the business of the king!" situation, but now I wonder if they had just learned they were losing their job.

There's some parts where the actors have to look at her character like she's insane (she is) and I'm positive they didn't even have to act at all. I think they were just mesmerized by how plausibly insane she seemed. You can see they're not even acting. They can't believe what they're looking at.

If it's the individual judge, he's been doing that all year.
The Supreme Court of VA is the only decision that will matter. They are going to have to rule soon, since their desire for their decision to be moot didn't happen.
I expect Dems to look at last night's results and figure out which way they get more seats and then the SC will rule that way. Last night had to be a surprise for them in Stafford and Faquier counties...

So if she worked for them for "more than two decades" I would say that's at least 21 years. Assuming she got some bullshit degree from some bullshit university and graduated at 22, that puts her at at least 43 years old, now with a 19-month-old kid.

Basically, the entire DC and NoVa and Montgomery County MD economies depend on fake spending - well the spending is real but the purpose of the dollars is hugely fake.
If there were a real audit - the entire ecosystem would collapse. And it would go back to some shacks around a swamp.
And that will never happen. So best case is there is a managed rebalance. But as the recent shenanigans in VA show - the Dems will break every norm, tell every lie and commit all necessary crimes to prevent that from happening- the cash must keep flowing.

on philly - the truck robbery was criminal vs criminal. I'll allow it lol
I'm more worried about something else that happened recently - a start to what I think will become a nasty new trend.
CHOP wanted to build a new multilevel parking garage and placed it in a "special zone" (ie, ghetto dump area) to "benefit the city." there was nothing there, just wasteland. BUT - they didn't check the area too well and the whole thing collapsed while being built. three ironworkers were killed.
the infrastructure is crap here. firemen and others will die because of it. it will only get worse and worse.

The Independent: MAGA lawmaker calls Somalis a ‘net drain on society’ in interview. Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill lashes out at immigrants, telling Benny Johnson: ‘They’re not all equally compatible with America’s governing framework, they’re not all equally moral, they don’t all have equal dignity‘
...Gill was echoing President Donald Trump’s notorious false claim from the 2024 presidential race that Haitian immigrants to the town of Springfield, Ohio, were capturing and eating the pets of local residents.
There was never any evidence for this claim. It even prompted a laugh of disbelief from his rival Kamala Harris when he mentioned it during a TV debate.
Red states are a net drain on the blue states. Red states would be be third world country-equivalents without wealth/tax transfers from the blue ones.
"The average IQ in Haiti is 68… between 67 and 68." Is he pulling these numbers out of his ass? Can I then assert the average IQ of the MAGA voter is between 67-68?

You can find the data on the internet showing how much immigrants from various locales add to the economy of the country they move to and Somalis are very negative, I think around -$500K over a lifetime.
The leftwing answer to that is usually one of the following:
People are more then how much money they earn!
They are refugees who cares how much they cost!
Why are you so racist?!?
The first one is true, but that's not the question. The second is a cover for the fact lefties are getting paid grifting off of immigrant aid, and the third one is what they always say when they don't have a real answer

sulfur does not get white hot; it typically melts into a yellow liquid, turns dark red/brown, and burns with a bright blue flame.
Key characteristics of heated sulfur include:
Melting: Sulfur melts to form a yellow liquid, which becomes a dark red/brown viscous liquid upon further heating.
Burning: Burning sulfur emits a characteristic blue flame and creates toxic gases (sulfur dioxide/trioxide).
No Incandescence: Sulfur does not reach the high temperatures necessary for "white hot" incandescent light.

"The Retrocession Act of 1846 was a federal law signed by President James K. Polk on July 9, 1846, which returned the portion of the District of Columbia originally ceded by Virginia to that state. This legislation, known as the Act to retrocede the county of Alexandria, in the District of Columbia, to the State of Virginia, was contingent upon the consent of the local residents, who approved the measure in a referendum held in September 1846.
Key details of the act and its implementation include:
Legislative Process: The bill passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 96-65 and the Senate with a vote of 32-14, following extensive debate and lobbying from Alexandria residents seeking relief from federal taxes and a lack of home rule.
Public Vote: President Polk appointed commissioners to oversee a viva voce (oral) vote on September 1-2, 1846. The results showed 763 votes in favor of retrocession and 222 against, triggering the presidential proclamation that the act was in full force on September 7, 1846. "

But the way the vote was conducted by Alexandria and the County was not in accordance with the Act. The Act required both the County AND City had to approve the act via referendum. The County voters rejected it, the City of Arlington approved it. Instead, the total vote was mingled so that the City of Arlington's vote totals for retrocession overrode the negative margin in the more thinly populated county at the time.

The debt accelerator for fraud, waste, and abuse started about Reagan's 2nd Term and by Bush's second, it was as if a rocket fueled surge in the debt occurred.
My guess is at easily about 500-1 trillion per year since 2009 deficit is from fraud. With interest, probably about half the current debt came from fraud, waste, and abuse with the additional interest to service that debt.

Trump to Iran: I'm Giving You Primitive Screwheads "Three to Five Days" to Come Up With a United Government Position, Or Else It's Bombs Away
As you probably know, parts of the Iran "government," such as it is, are making conciliatory noises while others are crying Death to America and ordering attacks on ships. I think this is typical Muslim hudna bullshit -- "negotiating" just to regroup before the next unbroken-for-1300-years war on the world -- but hopefully Trump has reached the end of his patience for this rope-a-dope. Axios:U.S. officials first began to see the divisions after the first round of Islamabad talks, when it became clear IRGC commander Gen. Ahmad Vahidi and his deputies had rejected much of what Iran's own negotiators had discussed. The split broke into the open last Friday. When Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC refused to implement it -- and began publicly attacking him.
Someone must have put the Democrats in charge of Iran's finances because they're not paying Homeland Security. Or... so Trump says. I don't know. The mullahs will make sure the first and last pennies they have left are used to pay their secret police and terrorists.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
@SecScottBessent As @POTUS has made clear, the United States Navy will continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In a matter of days, Kharg Island storage will be full and the fragile Iranian oil wells will be shut in. Constraining Iran's maritime trade directly targets the regime's primary revenue lifelines. The @USTreasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran's ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds. Any person or vessel facilitating these flows--through covert trade and finance--risks exposure to U.S. sanctions. We continue to freeze the funds stolen by the corrupt leadership on behalf of the people of Iran.
Thanks President Trump for the kind words.

And there are likely contingency plans being drawn up to secure the Hormuz. But that will likely mean US sailors and Soldiers will be directly in harms way, yet able to dish out some harm of their own.
One has to believe there was a "plan" to deal with the Hormuz if Iran/IRGC was this recalcitrant. Maybe it's just taking a while to get the pieces into place.

That is what Iran was doing before anything kicked off. I mean besides holding the entire population under threat of arbitrary arrest, arresting and holding protesters as prisoners to get compliance from their families is a thing a dictatorship does. Not technically hostages when a government does it, but they usually didn't release them without long prison sentences or severe beatings either.
This is what incremental progress looks like. It looks like concessions.

The "winery" was always a sham designed to grift from and possibly even defraud "investors." Here's how these things work:
1. Set up company in a trendy industry. Like, you know, a winery.
2. Offer investments in the company at insanely inflated prices. The "investors" are usually (but not always) in on it.
3. Use the income from "investments" for any purpose you want.
4. Company ultimately folds, but so what? The entire thing was set up to basically launder money, and it accomplished its goal.
Ever wonder why every rando THOT has some cosmetics or beauty business? It's because the business is a front for sugar daddies to "invest" in exchange for sex, while keeping a veneer of respectability.

Usually the converse of that is true. The oil in the reservoir is floating on top of the salt water. Pump on the well to hard, and suction will draw the oil/water interface up into a cone, with its apex at the wellbore. Same happens with fresh water wells on islands.

They don't actually give a fuck about actual systemic oppression and mistreatment of women which is why they don't have a single word to say about this, or Islamic countries normalizing beating and raping women, or grooming and trafficking gangs in the UK.

SuperGrok: No, Iran’s oil wells do not become completely useless if shut down, but prolonged or abrupt shut-ins can cause significant, often irreversible damage that permanently reduces the amount of recoverable oil and lowers future production rates—sometimes by 25–50% or more in affected wells or zones.
This is especially relevant for Iran because most of its major oil fields (such as those in the Asmari and Bangestan formations) are mature, decades-old reservoirs that already rely on natural water drive, fractures, and secondary recovery methods. Many have been under-maintained due to sanctions, making them more vulnerable

Another thing to think about: if for some reason, shutting in some of the Iranian wells wrecks them for good, so what? You know where the reservoir is, how deep it is, and what the remaining reserves are. It would be very easy, and quick, to drill new wells, better situated to exploit the remaining reserves. If there is regime change in Iran, and the good guys win, there would be money made in helping them get the oil fields up and running again. If the bad guys remain in charge, no point in letting have oil to sell, is there?

Why damage happens (key mechanisms)
Here’s what typically occurs during extended shut-ins (weeks to months or longer, as happens when exports are blocked and storage fills up):
Water coning and capillary trapping: In mature fields with underlying aquifers (common in Iran’s carbonate reservoirs), shutting in the well removes the pressure gradient that keeps water down. Bottom water rises (cones) into the oil zone. Capillary forces then trap oil in the rock pores, making it physically unrecoverable through the existing wellbore. This oil is effectively “locked away” forever in that part of the reservoir.
Precipitation and clogging: Iran’s crude often contains asphaltenes, waxes, and paraffins. When flow stops, these can solidify and block pores, perforations, tubing, and surface equipment. Scale buildup and fines migration (tiny rock particles moving and jamming flow paths) add to the blockage

The other gulf states are extraordinarily weak from a military standpoint. The Saudi's and the UAE have a decent air force, but no competent ground forces. Remember that with US backing the Saudi's tried to do a ground invasion of Yemen not all that long ago; and they got their asses kicked by a bunch of goatherds.
The only military forces with any real significance in the Middle East belong to Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and Israel. Egypt is too far away to concern itself with what's going on in Iran, and no one wants Erdogan to have anything to do with this situation.
So there's not going to be any deus ex machina dropping in from some unexpected quarter.

Pressure imbalances and geomechanical effects: Reservoir pressure can equalize unevenly. In fractured reservoirs (typical of many Iranian fields), this leads to poor sweep efficiency when production restarts. Fractures may close or allow uneven water breakthrough.
Corrosion and equipment degradation: Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S, common in Iranian crudes) and stagnant fluids accelerate corrosion of downhole equipment, casings, and pumps. Sand/debris can settle and bury pumps or assemblies.
Restarting may require major workovers. Restarting is possible—but costly and incomplete
Short-term shut-ins (days/weeks) are often manageable with minimal loss. Longer ones require weeks to months of work (chemical treatments, workovers, pressure rebalancing) to restart, and full pre-shut-in rates are rarely recovered.
Iran’s fields already face natural decline; sanctions limit access to chemicals, spare parts, and advanced recovery tech, so damage is harder to fix

NEW: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf appears to be engaged in a serious intra-regime debate with Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi and other senior regime officials opposed to negotiations with the United States.
Vahidi appears to have the upper hand over Ghalibaf at the moment. Vahidi is reportedly the only Iranian official with direct access to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and is serving as a conduit for relaying key decisions to other regime officials, according to Israeli media on April 19.
US and Iranian delegations will reportedly meet in Islamabad, Pakistan, for a second round of talks in the coming days. US and Iranian demands appear to have largely stayed the same, however. (Much more ).

They buy the steaks wholesale, in vast bulk, and most of the money they make is in booze and other drinks. The profits on actual food sales in restaurants is very low. They make all their money in booze and even non-alcoholic drinks. Those 4 sodas you paid $6 each for your kids? That's probably 90% profit, maybe even 95%.

Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior vice president at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store near her home in Falls Church, Va.

The other gulf states are extraordinarily weak from a military standpoint. The Saudi's and the UAE have a decent air force, but no competent ground forces. Remember that with US backing the Saudi's tried to do a ground invasion of Yemen not all that long ago; and they got their asses kicked by a bunch of goatherds.
The only military forces with any real significance in the Middle East belong to Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and Israel. Egypt is too far away to concern itself with what's going on in Iran, and no one wants Erdogan to have anything to do with this situation.
So there's not going to be any deus ex machina dropping in from some unexpected quarter.

Already done. Peg Leg in a coma isn't doing crap anymore. The coup between the "government" and the "IGRC military forces" doesn't answer to any religious dude.
If Trump gets a 'deal' presumably most of the IGRC leaders will end up being purged in the process, hence their interest in unending war. This got their upper level leaders whacked earlier with a high frequency, so when Pakistan's peace process fails and humiliates them, we can go back to taking out the current bosses by tracking who has recently bought a fancy uniform from a tailor.

Their gold is supporting their bonds and the value of their currency. Once they start selling it off the Yuan is going to collapse and all their bonds will too. Their bonds are mostly supported by things like real estate, commercial buildings, factories and power plants a lot of which are standing empty and/or built out of Chinesium, so having the gold as a backstop is essential.
This is my opinion and I can't give cites.

Yea, way more. Like 4-5x more. Those "paper" fast-food cups are not as dirt-cheap as they look. They are both paper and plastic (plastic coating). 100% plastic cups are cheaper, but "plastic" is a dirty word now -- so we get "paper" cups that contain a lot of ... plastic.

Your boss was being professional and looking out for the company. My tenure at restaurants (I was in high school) was marked by wall-to-wall sexual propositions and harassments, managers that robbed the place blind (and didn't care if employees did too), some truly insane customers, and really dumb franchise rules and regs. This was a big franchise restaurant.

The SPLC Paid Off the "Unite the Right" Marchers in Charlottesville -- Which the Democrat-Media Party Then Used as the Centerpiece of the 2020 Election Campaign
They didn't just pour money into "Unite the Right." They poured donor money into dozens of "far right"/"white supremacist" groups.
They claim they were "infiltrating" them. I say, they were creating the fake enemies they then fundraised off of. By pouring a few million into "far right"/"white supremacist" groups, they could in turn grift tens of millions from panicky pissbaby liberals terrified of the monsters the SPLC was itself funding and supporting. I know JJ covered this but I gotta!

@TheJusticeDept 19h 🚨HAPPENING NOW: Justice Department announces indictment against Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC"). Our indictment alleges SPLC secretly funneled MORE THAN $3 MILLION in funds to members of white supremacist and extremist groups.
My guess that this was about embezzlement/misuse of funds was, I guess, borderline correct, but boy oh boy is the reality so much better than my guess. The SPLC is literally funding the white dragons they claim they're protecting us from!

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.

The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.… pic.twitter.com/G6kAsUpeUK

1. SPLC are not police.
2. Even if SPLC were granted police power, police have rules about how they handle informants.
3. SPLC didn't disclose to donors they were using donor money for this sort of activity.
4. SPLC were fundraising off of criminal activity their employees perpetrated. That's clear cut criminal conspiracy.

No, that's not actually what they're being charged for.
- They're being charged for FRAUD - because they lied to their donors.
- They're being charged with BANK FRAUD because they opened accounts in the name of non-existent entities so they could pay.
- And the right is saying they weren't paying "informants" so much as paying instigators. So, incitement.

They reportedly have hundreds of millions of dollars in assets and a large percentage are reportedly offshore in the Caribbean. Senator Cotton called for an investigation of these offshore funds several years ago.

Oh, I think the donors knew. I think this entire scheme was almost identical to the USAID schemes that DataRepublican and Big Balls exposed. The money gets funneled around and passed back and forth between all these groups, with each one taking a cut at their stage.

3) would the left equally cheer, say TPUSA, paying informants to gather dirt on Antifa to feed to the FBI? And even people not Antifa then being arrested on that manufactured dirt?
4) how many, a hundred, or thousands, of minorities were terrorized by the hate crimes they manufactured?
5) "but it was only $3 million!" they also whine.

It's being reported in the major legacy outlets.
They're framing it in "so called indictment" like language, heavily implying that there's no actual crime being investigated. And they're not supplying links to the indictment itself.

Normies still think that story is true. He didn't run over her. They surrounded his car and beat on it. He got spooked and tried to drive away, something we've seen over and over again at these events. The woman who died wasn't hit by the car, she was morbidly obese and she had a cardiac event.

That the use of informants is entrapment.
And, to an extent, I'll agree: Their job depends on getting convictions. And the incentive isn't getting the truth.
But, with the police doing it, we at least have the thread-bare, thin excuse that they are professionals and there are rules in place to protect the innocent.
And some measure of accountability.
Now, all of a sudden, the whole left is singing the holy mission of unaccountable, unknowable "informants" being used to charge people with hate crimes.
Where neither the source, nor the method let alone any "right to confront your accuser" is present.

That the use of informants is entrapment.
And, to an extent, I'll agree: Their job depends on getting convictions. And the incentive isn't getting the truth.
But, with the police doing it, we at least have the thread-bare, thin excuse that they are professionals and there are rules in place to protect the innocent.
And some measure of accountability.
Now, all of a sudden, the whole left is singing the holy mission of unaccountable, unknowable "informants" being used to charge people with hate crimes.
Where neither the source, nor the method let alone any "right to confront your accuser" is present.

Northrop Grumman says a previously undisclosed company-owned test aircraft has been sold to the U.S. Air Force as part of a production acceleration agreement for the B-21 Raider.
“To support the acceleration of aircraft deliveries, we agreed to sell an aircraft to the Air Force that was previously planned to be utilized as a company-owned test asset,” CFO John Greene said April 21. The deal boosts sales in the first quarter. It will not change the total number of B-21s that are part of the low-rate production phase of the program, Greene noted on the company’s first-quarter earnings call.
The Aeronautics division reported that sales in the first quarter increased by $469 million, or 17% higher than the same period a year ago. The increase partly reflects an agreement reached in February with the Air Force to expand B-21 production capacity and increase the production rate, Northrop says.

Once you get out from the direct oversight of US securities regulators it opens up a lot of scope for fake trading activity like post-close arranged trades to create very difficult-to-trace slush funds for really nefarious activities like assassinations and blackmail ops.
This is what I strongly suspect Epstein was doing in his offshore activities in his really early years after leaving Bear for clients like Wechsner and how he came to be tied to intel agencies.
One might find intel agency connections to SPLC offshore activities as well.

I have a different view: I think the modern KKK is affluent suburbanites who use the KKK model as a pure grifting machine.
All these groups are all in cahoots with all the others, possibly even sharing office space and employees. As this indictment shows, it's much less profitable to be Saint George without a dragon to battle. So George helps the dragon and vice versa.

Was the SPLC coordinated in this by the color revolutionaries, or were they just freelancing to build up their hate-map grift?
ie, was the CIA telling them to run a protest in Charlottesville?

202 I'm going to plead ignorance here, but what exactly is the mechanism for handing over $1M to the KKK. Are you wiring money to another 501(c)?
Given that the actual, not-infiltrated KKK these days pretty much consists of Bubba and his 3-tooth cousin Cletus living in a doublewide, my guess is that it was more supplies, flags, tee shirts, bomb building supplies, etc.

Understand that all the financial managers for these outfits are working for either the SPLC or the FBI. And I’m sure they’ve all been skimming at least 20% off the top for all the money that passed through their hands.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is.
___________
This is their strategy today. All are braying of the impact SPLC had in exposing the far right 'criminals.' This begs the question: so how many arrests were made by legit LEO on the info the SPLC allegedly fed to them? They're trying to cover up the fact that ONE bank thought to investigate these fake LLC accounts the SPLC set up and that was key to uncovering everything else.

We don’t know for sure , but my guess is that the CIA/FBI farmed out all the really dirty work to the SPLC, and the SPLC in turn farmed it out to the various front groups they set up.
This is the same model that all the NGO’s have been following.

Someone was hanging signs saying things like "Vaxx the Jews!" from highway overpasses.
This got some news coverage but interestingly almost nothing about the guy doing it besides his name.
So I looked him up and he was a White guy was was a former rapper - he had/has a few songs you could see on youtube/spotify, including some collaborations with black rappers.
Now he wasn't a big name or anything so I don't think he was making much money off of songs he did year before. But somehow he was making enough money to pay a mortgage, drive/fly around the country, and print out giant signs to hang from overpasses.
I tried looking up threads on leftwing sites to see what they dug up on him (the left LOVES doxxing people they don't like) and the best they had was the guy had an online store selling racist stuff. And no that doesn't pay a mortgage.
So this guy? He was getting paid by someone. SPLC? Fedgov? Some cut out? That I don't know but the money was coming from somewhere...

Iran Attacks Three Ships in the Strait of Hormuz, Claims It Has Seized Two of Them
The third I've read was not seized and wasn't damaged too badly but it has stopped movement.
The attacks were conducted by the "fast attack boats" -- speedboats converted for military use -- that for some reason we never dropped daisy-cutter bombs on. I don't know why. But while we observe a "cease-fire," they're shooting up ships and taking the crews hostage.Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, less than a day after President Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely until Tehran agrees to negotiate a new deal. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that an IRGC gun boat approached and then fired on a container ship located 15 nautical miles northeast of Oman. That attack caused "heavy damage" to the ship's bridge, while no fires or environmental damage were reported and the crew was reported safe, according to the organization. Later in the day, UKMTO noted that an outbound cargo ship eight nautical miles west of Iran was fired upon and had to stop in the water. In that case, the crew was also safe and there was no reported damage to the vessel. The Fars News Agency in Iran, which is close to the IRGC, reported Wednesday morning that two "violating" ships were seized by the IRGC Navy and directed to the coast of Iran. It is unclear whether those ships are the same ones reported by the UKMTO. On Tuesday afternoon, Trump announced that he was extending the ceasefire with Iran until officials from the latter return to the negotiating table.This isn't going to appease Tucker Carlson and the Ron Paul crowd. It might, however, wind up costing Trump actual MAGA voters.
The attacks aren't just about the ships stopped. The attacks are about bottling up oil shipments, so that insurers won't insure them and the ships won't attempt to travel through the strait, so that the price of oil jumps up, our "allies" pressure us and American opinion forces Trump into conceding the war to Iran.
Trump says Iran is "collapsing." Well, may be, but why are you granting them a cease-fire so that they can regroup?
Dining Room of the White House, April 21, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) US President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that Iran was "collapsing financially" over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked three ships in the vital waterway that is blockaded by both Washington and Tehran. Trump's comments came hours after he announced he was indefinitely extending the two-week ceasefire with Iran, which had been conditioned on Iran lifting its blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran last week briefly lifted its blockade following the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, but reversed course after the US said it would maintain the blockade it had imposed on Iran-linked shipping on April 13, five days into the truce. "Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately," Trump wrote on Truth Social. The Islamic Republic is "starving for cash" and its military and police were "complaining that they are not getting paid," he claimed, adding: "SOS!!!"I'm sorry, I do not believe this. Iran is attacking shipping. This is not them saying "SOS." This is Iran attacking shipping. Yes, they are collapsing financially -- but that will take a while. In the meantime, they're attacking shipping, and for some reason, we're not blowing up their attack boats. Because of the "cease-fire" that only we are observing. Why are we not attacking the fast attack boats? Why are we not dropping air-burst bombs over their harbors? So we can "talk" to the Iranians who are plainly playing us for fools?
Like I said yesterday: Trump wants a deal. It is clear that Iran does not. They think they can win by outlasting him (and us). Trump continuing to talk deal, deal, deal just convinces them more and more that they're right that he doesn't have the perseverance to outlast them. For example, he's extending the cease-fire, even though Iran is now attacking ships again, because he says that the Iranian government is "fractured" and some parts of it want a deal and other parts don't. Well, I'm afraid we have to deal with the parts of the Iranian government that do not want a deal first. There is no point talking to the people who want a deal while the people who don't want a deal continue making war. Trump needs to change their minds. And giving them a ceasefire while prattling forever about how "close" we are to a deal is not changing their minds, it's convincing them they are right and Allah will see them through this. I don't even believe the talk of an imminent "deal" is able to fulfill its earlier purpose of stopping the price of oil from climbing too high. I think people have heard this song too many times and just don't believe it any longer. Wars are won with three things, they say: Manpower, firepower, and staying power. Iran has little of the first two but they seek to win by topping us in the third category.

That's the thing. There has not, at any point, been any cease fire *agreement*.
The only thing that happened is Trump, for some unclear reason, ordered the US military to stop bombing Iran. Iran never really stopped any of what it was doing. It looks like we reduced their capacity to act (though who knows for sure by how much), but they continue to do as much as they feel like doing.

That being said, I think we're getting played. Trump is desperate for a deal. Iran is not. They have calculated -- and correctly, in my opinion -- that all they have to do it hold out and Trump will be forced to cave or at least offer very favorable terms.
It doesn't matter how many of these cockroaches we kill. There are thousands more to take their places.
It doesn't matter how badly we kick their asses militarily. They will always be able to field some kind of ship -- even a private speedboat with RPGs -- to stalk ships in the Strait, which will be amplified to apocalyptic levels by the media.
The only way to truly defeat these scabs are with boots on the ground and/or to destroy their power and infrastructure. Lay waste to the entire country. But that will never happen.
I don't know how much clearer this all can be. The optimism by many on this site makes no sense to me.

They're both stationary in the Gulf of Oman, really on the "border" between the Gulf and the Strait.

With Trump, if he is not attacking fast-boats, I think he probably is gonna get on that pretty quick. If he wants a cease-fire to continue, it must be because he has a strategy.
I think he has earned my faith in his ability to execute and do what is best. For all I know, his plan is to keep the strait bottled up until China folds, EU realizes they need to abandon net zero, and until he can somehow justify taking the strait and their oil.

Trump has access to information that isn't public andd may know more than we do. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for a while.
That being said, as I've written previously, the fact that we have elections coming up in Nov of this year and in 2028 works against us. Especially since if the dimmicrats return to power they'll return to appeasement and kowtowing while Iran inevitably inexorably works toward a nuclear bomb and the means to deliver it with the subsequent incineration of either Tel Aviv, an American city or both.
Dims may want to see an American city nuked. That way they can nationalize the economy they way Roosevelt did in WWII.

The blockade on Iranian ports is probably doing far more damage to Iran than the kinetic bombings did.
$450 million a day denied. No more influx of dollars which, combined with the US Treasury and Gulf States' efforts to freeze out of country Iranian assets will lead to a serious funding crisis.

But, the important but here, is that there are more elements to this than just playing HULK SMASH.
Even if we reduce the entire Iranian seaboard into rubble and destroy everything afloat more advanced than a dhow into charred lumps, it does not solve the main problem of Iranian Nukes and IRGC with launching facilities.
HULK SMASH is the answer to the wrong question, and will not solve the problem Trump set out to solve

Then kill thousands more. This idea that you've solved the problem if you kill a few of the leaders is why Israel is always having to fight one more war. We shouldn't be content to mimic their error.
We've seen reports of us taking out radar, or factories, or munitions storage, all of which will have incidental casualties. But what I haven't seen is any reports of bombing IRGC barracks, or the homes of their officers, outside of that first hit on the Ayatollah. Or of strikes against the Shia clergy. Eliminate all of the people who are causing the problem, and then we can declare victory and go home.

And if there's no deal, at some point power plants and bridges will go. In theory.
WHILE Europe and Australia get to do their part for Mother Gaia through fuel shortages.
The news today said Europe was going to help open the strait but I don't know if even the Iraniians know who the Europeans would have to blow.
I'm not worried. In 2 weeks, wells go down. The blockades can go on hurting Iran. Unrest may be growing in Iran. Who knows. And the Europeans may get a lesson in the importance of energy.
Not a bad Earth Day.

Well, for lack of a better word, Trump is trying to wage a Kind War. He doesn't want the general population of Iran affected by the attempts to scrape the gov't off Joe Blow Iran, and the elimination of iran's nuclear capacity.
And, yes, yes, "The Russians love their children too." Buuuut, these are Shia moslems itchy for the Apocalypse and that calculus doesn't apply.
The IRGC is smart enough to use the whole population of Iran as "Shield Hostages" because Trump doesn't want collateral damage in important infrastructure and lives.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The reason the Iranian regime hierarchy is divided is because of our military success against the leadership of the regime. They are fighting with each other out of desperation. A further delay and insistence on the single voice for the regime likely ensures that there will be a consolidation of leadership under the IRCG -- that is, the 150,000 strong militia/internal security force. Of course, that will make a deal to our liking more difficult.
And to be clear, the propaganda of the Democrats and the media, undermining the President and our military every step of the way, are giving aid and comfort to enemy, and encouraging the enemy to dig in -- and to wait us out and reject virtually any deal. To the Democrats, an American military setback is a Democrat Party win. The Democrats are effectively rooting for the enemy! "

Well, this was almost 50 years ago when the samples were much fresher...back in the 50's my Dad heard that the Gov't was paying big bucks for Uranium finds, so he bought a Geiger counter and a sample of radioactive rocks (dunno if they came with the Geiger counter or not). Well, for the better, he never found a Uranium mine...

Posted by: ShainS at April 22, 2026 12:46 PM (l7fPC)
If I understand it right the US Navy is stopping all ships from docking at Iranian ports, the largest being Bandar Abbas. Likewise no ships are allowed to leave, either. This is the proper use of the word "blockade." Thus the action recently conducted by the USS SPRUANCE.
But the US Navy is NOT blockading maritime traffic through the navigable channels of the Strait of Hormuz. Any ship is allowed to freely transit those channels and the US Navy will not interfere.
It is the IRGC that is sending fast boats armed with weapons into the shipping channels to attack commercial shipping not bound for an Iranian port. I guess it's correct to use the word "blockade" for those attacks, but it is not the same as what the US Navy is doing.
Ok, thanks. Just felt that needed to be said.

These "fast attack boats" are just speedboats, like Bubba's bass boat, but armed. They don't need port facilities, just a ramp or a beach where they can be launched off a trailer. They will stored inland, in garages or service bays in warehouses.

There are still scattered pieces lying about even after the Trinity site was cleaned up. Wind blows the sand around and exposes them. It is illegal due to radiological concerns and you'l find military watching you while you're there on the days the site is open for visitors. I turned around and found a couple of them looking right over my shoulder while I was crouched over getting a closeup shot of a piece.
There is a patch of it preserved under a shelter for historical purposes but it's locked and difficult to see into.

Small attack boats are very difficult to spot with Radar. So you cannot determine which harbor they are sourced at. That leaves B-52 carpet bombing of the Iranian harbors and shoreline beaches along the Straits of Hormuz. By doing this, you do not destroy the civilian populations' utility or intra-transportation infrastructure. That would be a devastating cost for the IRGC's morale. Why aren't the CIA analysts offering that as an option? It is because they are trying to undermine Trump's agenda.

"Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC

I had a very good call this morning with @POTUS and @SecWar Pete Hegseth about the way forward regarding the Iran conflict.
I think the President’s decision to leave the blockade in place is very smart. It is having a strong effect on the ability of Iran to continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism – which they appear intent on doing.
I not only expect this blockade to stay in place until Iran shows a commitment to change their ways, I expect the blockade will be growing and that it could become global soon.
To those assisting or thinking about assisting the Iranian regime in distributing its oil, which provides resources for terrorism, you do so at your own peril.
Well done to President Trump and his team. This is the best chance since 1979 to change the behavior of the regime and I hope this can be accomplished through diplomacy."

False.
A handful of IRGC dudes in the strait getting on their weekend pleasure speed boat and firing rounds in the air to scare an Indian cargo vessel captain means that the IRGC has full control of the government of Iran.

I'd moved to the East Bay out in Walnut Creek and used to listen to him when he was a local fill-in talk radio host back in the early 90s on 810 AM KSFO.

Maybe Iran's ability to regroup is really hampered by the fact that they can't import materials necessary to the construction of ballistic missiles, most of their ballistic missile production capabilities are smashed, and there's obvious major discord within the Iranian government?

The Gulf States could probably finish Iran off at this point, Iran is so diminished.
But, we're there. Might as well risk our equipment and men rather than their own. It makes sense.

Each fast attack boat carries 1 or 2 anti-ship missiles. That’s their strategy, shoot out into the strait, dump an anti ship missile into the target and scoot off. If you 10 or 12 of them together, it’s a very potent threat.

The IRGC expects Trump will not destroy their infrastructure, despite the threats. Even if he does, see above.
The IRGC expects any weapons being sent to locals will be stolen.
The IRGC expects American regime change will come soon enough.
The IRGC expects Trump does not have the will or the political capital to put boots on the ground, which, barring an internal force getting the arms the IRGC expects to be stolen, is the only way they will get forced out.
That is what is happening.
Whether the delay is Trump seeing if he does have the will and/or the political capital to land troops, or whether he has enough troops in theater, or both, are the only real questions at the moment.

273 We maintained a no fly zone over Iraq for years. How hard is it to maintain a no boat zone? Station a radar plane on the safe side of the strait with a couple of attack jets and blow up anything that comes out.”
A no-fly zone is far simpler, because most aircraft have to achieve altitude. The A-10 is by far the best weapon against the fast boats; but it is vulnerable to MANPADS. The boats come out next to the high bluffs on the Iranian side of the strait, and there’s gonna be a thousand guys with MANPADS hiding under the bushes on those bluffs (50 mile stretch btw). We don’t want to risk the A-10 going low and slow in that kind of shooting gallery.
(Which is why I think we’re at the point where ground troops need to take and hold those bluffs)

You have to figure Trump knows what's on the line. At this point that is the reasonable position.
He has spent the last decade trying to put the rabid dogs of the Left down, and other than getting blindsided by covid and then The Cheat he hasn't done too bad. By all rights he should no longer be standing. But he is. Lord knows what horrors that man has spared this country from.
So let's wait and see what rabbits he has in tow. 6 months is a political eternity. I am more concerned about the POS Republicans who seem content to wait Trump out (again) and go back to business as usual.

I can't remember the exact number of ships that were transiting the strait before the war (I think it was 120ish) but clearly we know where the speedboats are coming from (its hard to hide a damn 50' speedboat) and we know where the merchant vessels are transiting. Perhaps we can't cover 120 of them but we can definitely cover 20 or so a day between drones and satellite and recon aircraft. Also, the 20 year old Raytheon mast radar on my dad's center console would pickup pretty much everything within a 5 mile radius on the surface of the water... annoyingly so sometimes. I've got to imagine that the US Military has something that could detect a gnat's fart from more than the dinky 5 miles away my Dad's Raytheon could.
This shouldn't be a problem. At all. Which leads me to believe we're willingly letting it happen because our Commander in Chief thinks that he can convince a much of goatfuckers into surrendering

He's gone from making wild, empty threats on Twitter to giving the Iranians far too much leeway.
From where I'm sitting he looks increasingly likely to drop negotiation demands and I'm worried we'll end up with something weak and unenforceable.
Trump needs to be told that there is no deal to be made, they must agree to our demands
The prospect of a nuclear Iran is so intolerable it might have to be destroyed with nuclear weapons.
I'm not saying that is how this war will end but it is a near certain eventuality if the threat isn't dealt ended.

At his apogee he really put together a stellar campaign against Piracy in the Med. A simultaneous strike by a large number of naval fleets and marines that took out the raiders and their nests on shore.

Wednesday Morning Rant
The basis of this speculation is that there are a series of US scientists in nuclear, space and related fields who have mysteriously - and unusually - disappeared or died over the past few years. Specifically, the speculation appears to be around the death or disappearance of at least 10 scientists since 2023. Per Fox News, six of them are dead and four of them are missing:
Michael David Hicks, 59; Frank Maiwald, 61; Nuno Loureiro, 47; Jason Thomas, 45; Amy Eskridge, 34; and Carl Grillmair, 47, all died between 2023 and 2026. Each played a key role in vital scientific research, Fox News Digital previously reported. The causes of death for Hicks and Maiwald remain unknown. Grillmair was gunned down outside his home on Feb. 16, and Freddy Snyder, 29, was subsequently charged with his murder. Loureiro was also fatally shot at his Massachusetts home. The body of Jason Thomas, an associate director of chemical biology at Novartis, was discovered in Lake Quannapowitt, Mass., three months after he was last seen walking from his home late at night. Eskridge, a Huntsville, Alabama--based researcher, died June 11, 2022, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Monica Reza, 60; Melissa Casias, 53; Anthony Chavez, 79; Steven Garcia, 48; and retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, 68, were all reported missing between 2023 and 2026. All the disappearances occurred under suspicious circumstances.This sounds quite damning, but it does make me wonder. This is ten people, over about three years, in a country of over 300 million people. At the scale of "the country" or even the relatively rarefied group of "important scientists," is this rate of murder, suicide, unknown death or disappearance unusual? I have no idea. I wouldn't guess that it is. Tragic for their families, yes - but nationally important? I don't know. Congress, however has launched an investigation:
On Sunday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., warned that "something sinister" could be involved. "We've put a notice out to the Department of War, the FBI, NASA, and the Department of Energy. We want to know everything they know about what happened with these scientists, because those four agencies were predominantly the ones these 11 individuals were affiliated with," he said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends Weekend." "We want to try to piece this together."So have the FBI and the agencies involved:
"In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases, and President Trump's commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential patterns," Karoline Leavitt later wrote on social media.NASA has indicated that they see no pattern or national security threat, but are cooperating with the investigation. Secretary Wright told Fox News during an interview about Iran that the Department of Energy is also doing its own investigation to determine if there is any common thread connecting the DOE scientists on the list. It seems unlikely to me that this is evidence of a coordinated conspiracy to abduct or murder current and former US scientists. I suspect this is much more likely to be an example of "anything can look like a trend if you look hard enough and broadly enough for long enough." Time may, perhaps, tell.

>>> All of these places were tangentially related to Pooky's old career field, which was so unstable that no one knew of any "natives" that made it past E-6 (Tech Sgt). The field employed and worked with literal mad scientists.
As I've repeatedly said, I have had eyes on Pooky for the last five years and he swears he doesn't know anyone on the list. But if anyone from Pooky's old career field was involved or winds up being a victim, I would not be surprised.

Maybe. But if you look at it not as 10 people in a country of 350 million and instead as a relatively small group of people, some who worked together on very sensitive projects, dying or disappearing without a trace it seems a little coincidental.
Certainly couldn't hurt to look a little closer at the circumstances and connections between the people. It's not like we and the Israelis haven't been knocking off Iranian scientists for years and we do have other potent enemies.

We lost so much thanks to a Chinese lab-created virus. Chinese students and scientists smuggling in crop-killing viruses. We have Hamas-loving, islamist activists raging across the country since Oct 7th. We have cartels openly trafficking fentanyl, humans, and Lord know what else. We have Somalis, Russians, and others stealing billions with the consent of so many in our government. We have a major organization, the SPLC, which has partnered with our military and Silicon Valley censors, literally manufacturing hate crimes to keep us silent and surveilled. We had Biden's DoJ investigating parents complaining at school board meetings as if they were ISIS. Hell, people like Podesta have been baiting us with the "aliens are real and the government has proof" crap.
I have no idea if this missing/dead scientist thing is a legit concern, but I have a hard time judging anyone for believing it is.

As you mentioned, patterns can be seen. even if there is no relationship between individual cases. By my math, mid-2022 to mid-2026 is actually 4 years rather than three, making a causal relationship even less likely.
I suspect with AI and ever larger data sets, anomalies such as this one will seem more common.

This is where a Real Statistician would come in handy. Take the total number of that type scientist and compare it to known death stats. Several other factors to consider ... their ages, their health, and even education. I'd assume a more educated person is less likely (than the general population) to get lost and die.
They should be able to determine if this is far beyond the norm, or maybe close to normal. Sounds unusual at first blush.

No, really, it isn't. Especially when you see such a broad definition of their similarities as "nuclear, space and related fields." Because you could link me in such a manner - after all, I took astronautical courses in college and have a Starlink now, and I flew in SAC so there's the "nuclear", and my current profession is IT - which is definitely a "related field."
But conspiracies thrive on making those obscure connections and showing everyone that something nefarious is going on.

A problem I have is that I see patterns that others don't - particularly in faces. I see certain subtleties in features and say (and this is the part where it becomes a problem) "that person looks like this other person" and everyone looks at me like I have three heads. Because none of them see it; they're seeing the "normal" similarities.
So, yes, there are always patterns to see. Even if they're not truly meaningful.

Odds they are connected - probably not high.
Harm in looking into a connection - zero.
Help in getting focus on finding the missing and the unsolved murders - decent.
So, I have no problem looking into a link, and doing the "prove it's not by finding these folks or their killers"...
But if you ask me now...they are not linked.

It's really the perfect, platonic ideal of a destructive, hateful, vile organization that "educated", "liberal", and enlightened American cretins support.
Not even sure their enormous off-shore bank accounts are part of this.
And for years, federal law enforcement and Fortune 500 relied on these vile hate-mongering scum to "guide" national policy on "hate groups".
As brilliantly expressed by several here over the years, the demand for actual racism and "extremism" vastly vastly outstrips the supply, so voila, taxpayer and dumb American donor money steps in to fill the gap.

The risk, just like for criminal profilers (remember how the DC sniper was assumed to be a white male from statistics?), you miss confounding variables affecting the results. E.g., one of the scientists on the list, that lived in a remote desert spot, has a suspect charged in his murder that had previously been charged with harassing the dude. Homeless drifter druggie sort of dude.
Another is whether someone like McCasland, who took his 38 Special to the wilderness was suffering from the beginnings of dementia. People that have great intellect are often terrified of losing it all to dementia.
Statistics, especially inferring results for a small group of people from a larger statistical universe often runs into the ecological fallacy trap. What is true for the individual may not be true for the group, and vice versa.
We see this in medicine all the time. You take pill X and get result Y based on a large sample trial group's experiences. Sometimes though, people get outcome Z instead because of this fallacy.

I think you will find a fair chunk of the leftist ngo universe making up these narratives for media consumption and they have been for decades.
E.g. Rosa Parks and her sitdown was a staged act because the original person involved in the dispute was not as media sympathetic to the Cause.
And rotten individuals in government itself does this sort of thing to build its own narratives.
Platonic noble lies for the cause because the plebes can't handle the truth so elites have to lie to them.

This reminds me of the occasional shock and calls for investigations that happen every few years following some publicized deaths on cruise ships.
"OMG, there were 10 deaths on cruise ships last year! Something evil is afoot!" But ... over 20 million Americans go on cruises every year. Another 20 million international passengers every year, for a total of 40 million. A significant percentage of these passengers are seniors.
It is not surprising that a few hundred of these 40 million die on cruises every year.

This happened with ski lift deaths recently. The media went into panic mode because a few accidents happened in a short period of time. I think 9 people died in 2024 and 2025 in N. American resorts. Which was higher than the average of 3 or 4, everyone set your hair on fire!!!
What they failed to mention is that every year there hundreds of millions of chair lift rides in North America. You have a better chance of being abducted by aliens while being struck by lightning than dying on a ski lift.

It all could be a big coincidence but that's the part I find odd. A number of them just walked out of their homes taking nothing with them other than a couple took a gun and then they just vanished. No trace.

I hate the term over charging. Over charge compared to what? Is a beer more expensive at a bar than at the grocery store? Yes. Is it over charging? No.
Cruises and tourism in general charges a lot of things that are cheap at home. But that’s kind of the point. You’re paying to be on vacation. If you want beer for $1 instead of $10 stay home.

The global reset is being manufactured.
Here's a list of major oil refineries/energy facilities being blown up this month:
3rd April: Russia's Major Oil Export Terminal
4th April: Russia's Crude Distillation Unit
7th April: India's Power Plant
9th April: Mexico's Refinery
14th April: India's Power Plant
15th April: Australia's Energy Refinery
20th April: Russia's Oil Refinery
21st April: India's Oil Refinery
21st April: Romania's Power Plant
21st April: Texas Oil Rig
Posted by: weft cut-loop
========
That would actually be easier to statistically measure. Because easier to establish a baseline of previous fires/explosions in power plants or refineries as it is a normal hazard to the business. Coal plants, for example, coal dust and boiler explosions, refineries, petroleum based fires, etc.
One could do the same for something like locomotive derailments and crashes.
But imputing specific cause of crime from a statistical universe to a specific heterogeneous small group of individuals is a lot harder to do. So a cursory investigation into the commonalities and differences is probably warranted.

Cruises are a bit of an acquired taste and, like anything else, when booking the buyer should beware. But if you do it right, then almost everything will be included. That usually makes cruises a good deal.

I guess the Aussie directors in general are under-rated.
Bruce Beresford's another one who's underrated.
Though he's made a bunch of movies so maybe the qualities spread out more than with Weir.

Since national security is involved, that would be FBI counterintelligence.
Unfortunately under Obama, it became going after Americans for being conservative or Republican rather than foreign enemies.
Before, counterintelligence was usually just a dumping ground of mediocrity mainly dealing with security checks. This allowed people like Aldrich Ames to spy for Russia for a decade or so.

Every GOP hold in a special election that's an underperformance is evidence of the GOP not turning out in anything but with Trump on the ballot.
This election (which might be the most prominent special election of the 2025-26 cycle) where the GOP overperformed 2024 by 3 points is not evidence of anything except that the GOP loses everything no matter what, and we should all just blackpill.

Albert Houthuesen
BURU Org UK
Ben Uri Research Unit, for the study and digital recording of the Jewish, Refugee and wide Immigrant contribution to British visual culture since 1900.
It begins,
Albert Houthuesen artist
Albert Houthuesen was born in 1903 in Amsterdam, moving to London with his mother and siblings in 1912, following the sudden death of his artist father. Houthuesen studied at St Martin's School of Art and the Royal College of Art, afterwards earning a living through part-time teaching at the Working Men's College. Despite creating art throughout the 1930s–50s, and the Tate Gallery acquiring a number of his paintings in the late 1930s, Houthuesen became recognised only later in his life, following a solo exhibition at Reid Gallery in London in 1961.
Albert Houthuesen's biography follows, and is worth reading imho.
Likely wouldn't hang today's art selection, but I wasn't familiar with this artist and his story is quite interesting.

Exactly. A working man in a borrowed, or hand-me-down, suit. It's too big, and the cuffs are a bit dingy. The shirt collar is not crisp, and the tie is knotted clumsily.
This kid - because he is a young man - is wearing the best suit available to him.
He is looking rather dubious about this whole posing business, but the artist has promised to pay and him, and there doesn't seem to be any hanky panky involved.

Did you see that the GOP only won the special election in OH-6 by 9 points?!
They last won it by 35!
That's a 26 point swing! You can't deny that this is a sign of impending doom!
Wait, wait...wait...That special election was June 11, 2024, and it did not precede doom.
Because special elections are not predictive, never have been, and never will be, and if you have to cherry pick special elections instead of taking them all then, well, that's not how predictive statistics work.

You are correct about special elections and to some extent off year elections. Comes from misapplication of by-elections from parliamentary systems to the US.
By-elections and aggregated local council elections in the UK do have some predictive value aka swing because of a unified central government and relatively high turnout.
In the US, not so much. Part of it is election fatigue, we have more elections for different levels of government that parliamentary systems. All sorts of referenda, initiatives, special elections, off year municipal elections, school boards, runoff elections, primary elections, and general elections.
So you get voter fatigue in the US and special elections for the US House are often hurry up affairs requiring an existing party and candidate to spin up a campaign on short notice to try to take advantage of an opportunity. Many of which are in noncompetitive seats.

And you engage in a cheap rhetorical tactic of your own: ignoring the point and building a strawman.
There are plenty of people who I heartily agree with here who nevertheless look at everything with a sense of glom and doom, why bother, our defeat by (pick opponent) is inevitable, blah blah blah. Whether or not I agree with someone is different from their attitude towards things.

Who? Call them out and move on. There's a good number of people here on any given day. It can sound like a cacophony but I guarantee there are many levels of opinion here. No reason to cordon everyone into groups. It's never gonna make your (general you) opinion hold any more weight. In fact it may degrade it in some eyes.
Every normal contributor has something occasionally worth listening to, no one is here to read only like minds expressing like thoughts - may as well masturbate to an AI companion.
That said if anyone is on a political blog to read all good news and talk about how wonderful the world is, I question their judgment. People are mostly here to bitch and moan because that's what keeps them invested in dopey politics.
My source of good news is not Republicans or the government, that's for sure.

Monty, like me, applied standard economics to the problems of government spending but both of us did not perceive how global flows of US dollars from being a reserve currency helped bolster the US from directly feeling the effects of inflation and implicit devaluation of the dollar.
I would have predicted the EU's collapse for similar reasons by now and Japan/China are in the realm of 200-300 debt to GDP level with faster aging populations than the US.
Standard economic theory right now is similar to the standard model in cosmology. Observances we see in the real world do not correspond with how the std. theory predicts them to be.
Doesn't seem that Modern Monetary Theory works either (closest are Biden, Zimbabwe, and now Iran). The piecemeal Friedman idea that money essentially is a product subject to demand and supply works but the Keynesian system that Friedman's observances come from increasingly do not seem relevant to today's global economy.
And the Austrian school would have us dead and buried sometime during the Obama administration by now.
Globalization is probably the reason.

Fine. I take back that you are referring only to people you disagree with. That was a leap and I will own it and apologize for going there.
That said, there is little to be gained from labeling some phantom set of people here as "defeatist", which is an intentional slur or at least a thoughtless label, other than controlling or otherwise directing the flow of conversation to something more palatable to you. That is not how forums work. Unless you are a moderator.

The Morning Report — 4/ 22/26
Virginia Democrats’ legally suspect and deceptively worded referendum now gives their allies in the legislature the ability to redistrict the state ahead of the 2026 midterms. The party’s proposal seeks to remake the commonwealth from a six Democrat-five Republican map to a 10 Democrat-one Republican map and effectively disenfranchise millions of rural Virginians in the process. In addition to dishonest ballot language about “fairness,” the referendum also enjoyed heavy support from the left’s dark money network. A Federalist analysis from earlier this month discovered that more than 90 percent of the funds being poured into the left-wing group backing the amendment (Virginians for Fair Elections) came from outside the state. According to the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), Virginians for Fair Elections received more than $38 million from D.C.-based House Majority Forward (HMF). HMF notably boasts ties to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrat leadership.
... I wrote "allegedly voted" above, because as we know all too well, the Democrat party and leftist organizations have the ability and no compunctions to rig, cheat, steal and do whatever they can to win by any means necessary, since they are deluded in the twisted worldview that they and they alone have absolute moral authority and Gott mit uns as their predecessors/kissing cousins from the NSDAP had on their belt buckles, to organize society as they see fit. As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here) as well as in the sidebar and on the outlets/apps listed at the bottom of the post) Abigail Spanberger is an evil harridan. But make no mistake, she is no outlier nor a one-off. The Democrat Party is out to destroy America as founded, and regardless of their excuses and mythologies always to acquire and wield absolute power, period full stop. Until my dying breath, everything wrong with this nation, all of the problems, discord, dissolution, dislocation violence, bloodshed and wastage of human life and human potential is directly the fault of, or has been exacerbated and made worse by orders of magnitude by the Democrat Left. And when the problems are solved or at least well on the way to being solved well what do Democrats do, they gin up the discord or at the very least fake it. This next item while hardly surprising makes the blood boil.
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that a grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for making fraudulent payments of millions of dollars to members of the Ku Klux Klan and other neo-Nazi organizations.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a news conference that the 11-count indictment filed in an Alabama federal court alleged the left-wing nonprofit had in the past decade paid at least $3 million to eight members of the far-right groups.
One leader of the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Va., received roughly $270,000 over an eight-year period. Neither that person nor others were identified in the 14-page indictment. Another embedded in a neo-Nazi organization was paid $1 million to steal 25 boxes of the hate group’s documents . .
. . . Starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began using informants who had infiltrated various groups.
But Blanche said in the press conference that the nonprofit never informed law enforcement that it was “paying off the Klu Klux Klan” or other extremist groups.
Several of the informants were also being paid while simultaneously being featured in SPLC publications — including on its public-facing “Extremist File” webpage — as members of the hate groups.
Prosecutors alleged in the indictment that the informants, or “field sources,” were also “engaged in the active promotion of racist groups.”
So like the infamous "Charlottesville" hoax" and the alleged 1/6 "insurrection" it's all an op, a lie or a hoax or an elaborate fake. That and projection. Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

They don't address that SPLC was also funding these groups and planning and encouraging hate crimes--causing actual fear!
Because those facts never make it into the news they read.

Guess who was one of the SPLC's biggest donors? The US federal government, of course. They were also a partner of the Biden DOJ going after white supremacists and Nazis and other make believe threats to slime conservatives.
Shortly before his murder, Charlie Kirk's TPUSA was put on the SPLC's Hate Map with groups like the KKK.

The DoJ has been losing competent lawyers left and right who refuse to indulge in politically motivated witch hunt cases. The remaining charlatans who work there want to go to war against the SPLC, some of the best civil rights lawyers in the country? This is going to be a disaster for Trump.
Of course a watchdog group for hate activity is going to be targeted by the administration of hate. There are far more important things to focus on, but grievance uber alles for these fools.
Just donated $50. They're getting targeted because they've been effective at targeting hate groups that this administration is trying to recruit to their brown shirt echelon.

I just read something that probably accounts for this, in a piece that was not trolling, just factual. Said that Iran has 200 million barrels of oil stored in tankers parked in an area of the South China Sea, which they have been building up for some time. (Yes, Iran has been planning for this war for years). This is an asset the Iranians can draw on, it’s about 5 months worth of production.
The US can do something about this if we desire, but hasn’t because it risks bringing China into the conflict, and we don’t want that. (Option would be for the US Navy to show up and confiscate them)

No self-respecting, reasonable bigot would associate with them.
True bigotry comes from observing the world around you, noticing patterns, and drawing rational conclusions from experiences and lit those in proper context of racial consciousness.
The 300 pound Shanaynay at Walmart in heavily stressed spandex is almost certainly not a doctor.
The gold-toothed, dreadlocked negro with the shifty eyes and twitchy bodily movements probably isn't in your yard because he's raising
money for the Boy Scouts.
Being racially aware is a healthy, natural instinct that allows you to make reasonable decisions that may aid you in making sound financial decisions, protecting your property and, indeed, may even save your life.

Brought up Trumps reading of 2Chronicles 7:11-22
A passage I highly recommend. Verses 19-22 answer some "why" questions.
And if you read Deuteronomy 28 it's easy to see the parallels and outcomes.
If you obey me I will greatly bless you. If you disobey me...
Judging a group of people? God forbid. It's been the same with me.

Missed a kind of big step. SPLC didn't fund the KKK and other groups directly. They funded fake shell companies they set up to fund them. The KKK wouldn't take money directly from the SPLC but they would take it from a group they believed was on their side.
That's called money laundering and it's literally one of the charges the DOJ announced last night. But actually listening or reading the facts is beyond the dunces on the left.

@KatiePavlich
Yes. Funded, planned, coordinated
and executed.
a. E-37 was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017
"Unite the Right" event in Charlottesville, Virginia and attended the event at the direction of the SPLC. F-37 made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. Between 2015 and 2023, the SPL secretly paid F-37 more than
$270,000.00.

Biden was a shell. We all saw it. But his team knew. It was orchestrated.
For 4 years all we heard from the Biden administration was the greatest threat to America was white supremacism, Nazis, Christian Nationalists and all of them were MAGA. His DOJ had a formal partnership with the SPLC to go after, well, us.
This is all part of stealing elections and using the power of the federal government to do it.

On X, it was pointed out that there are 7--seven!--lawsuits against Trump's EO on mail-in ballots.
They're not against any actual rule--they're angrily demanding the courts prevent the agencies from even beginning the rule-making process.
Because Trump is directly over the target.
But, it get's crazier:
One of the litigants is a sorority.* Who claims they'll suffer harm because one of their "missions" is to teach how to vote by mail. And any possible rule change--even a legal one--will make that harder for them.
* recall, how the courts bend over and grabbed their ankles to deny standing in every election case from 2020?
But now some bint walking her dog past the White House has standing to stop the construction?
And now a group of sorority bimbos have standing to stop an EO?

Deep state funds groups, and there are more, like the SPLC to come up with a plan to increase the focus on the narrative.
SPLC sets up shell companies to funnel money to extremist groups while hiding the real source.
Deep state announces partnership with SPLC to fight extremist groups that are the biggest threat to America.
Deep state presidential candidate with the ever present help of the media ties the actions of the extremist groups to his political opponent with things like the "fine people" hoax.

The Supreme Court of Virginia consists of seven justices appointed by a majority vote of the state legislature to 12-year terms. While justices are not formally affiliated with political parties, the selection process is highly political. As of 2023, a majority of sitting justices were appointed by Democratic governors, shifting the court's composition from previous Republicans-controlled appointments.
Although appointed through partisan political processes, the justices operate formally on a nonpartisan basis.
The court has recently been involved in key political decisions, including ruling on redistricting matters.

"Just last month, President Barack Obama partnered with NDRC to urge Virginians to vote "YES" on the measure."

That's a shame. At one time I would have sworn Virginians would never let this happen. (Watch the lower Courts expand next.)

There was an interesting study reported in Psychology Today (I think) several years ago that demonstrated that most trolls have severe mental illnesses.

The Far Left, sadly, always gets a turn in power occasionally. Unlike most Republicans that get power, they actually make permanent adjustments that serve their needs.
Trump breaks the trend for the right. He has removed millions of illegals (and has almost 3 years left!), smashed agencies and Leftist federal funding streams, and if he can finally end Iran AND the Palestinian issues in the Middle East, it's all a worthwhile thrashing of the Left. We may yet destroy NATO, the EU. and cripple China's near-term military and economic ambitions, too.

I do not know the precise 'rules of engagement' for stopping and searching ships attempting to cross the blockade line, from either direction. US intel gets as much prior information as it can about the flag vessels are registered under, prior names and registrations, if any, cargoes, and sailing plan stated destinations. Not every ship activates its ID and location beacon. I don't know that violates any international maritime laws or regulations. Our intel can track them using satellite and drone assests.
Looking at MarineTraffic right now, it looks like an Iranian-flagged tanker, Atlantis II, may try to run the blockade tomorrow or later. It sailed from Bandar Abbas, Iran.

- AMD's new top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor is here. Don't buy it. (Tom's Hardware)
Not AMD's fault. They've resisted shipping CPUs with this configuration for years, claiming that it only helped performance for certain very specific workloads.
They were right.
Also, Intel's new 270K Plus is nearly as fast for creative work at less than half the price. Yes, it's on a dead platform, but even if you'll end up throwing away both the CPU and the motherboard it may work out better value than the 9950X3D2.
Tech News
- Framework's new Laptop 13 Pro provides an Intel Core Ultra 7 358H - the one with the best in class integrated graphics that only works with soldered LPDDR5X memory - and also expandable memory. (Notebook Check)
Courtesy of a LPCAMM2 module, which lets you upgrade memory that would normally be soldered to the motherboard.
Up to 64GB of RAM, a 2880x1920 13" touch screen, and none of the Four Essential Keys. Sore point, because they have 20 different keyboard options including some with additional keys, but none have those four.
It's fully compatible with the existing Laptop 13's motherboard and expansion modules, but with a CNC machined aluminium chassis.
They also announced a keyboards - which also lacks the Four Essential Keys.
- SpaceX has signed a deal with Cursor that gives them the option to buy that company for $60 billion. (Twitter)
This may or may not happen.
- Anthropic suspended one company's access to Claude, leaving 60 employees unable to do anything for 15 hours. (Tom's Hardware)
I don't think the problem there is with Anthropic.
- Amazon meanwhile is investing $25 billion in Anthropic, as part of a deal where Anthropic spends $100 billion over 10 years with Amazon. (CNBC)

The Russkis have been attempting to penetrate Alaskan airspace for many decades. This rarely makes the Lower 48 news, but it literally happens all the time.
According to a friend who should know, in recent history the game has been to intercept the Russians before they get within cruise missile range of Anchorage.
They don't always succeed.
I can totally believe that a Russian plane was downed back then... there are areas that are still damned remote today, much less in 1952, and there weren't a zillion satellites taking pictures, either.

Learning that the fancy ER-grade Foley catheters now have a built-in temperature probe. Apparently urine temperature is a good proxy for actual core temperature, and having a probe in the urine stream lets you do continuous temperature monitoring with sticking another probe up the patient's ass.

I read his memoir earlier this year. It includes a section where he lists each movie or TV series he was in, and sums it up as good or bad. For instance, he mentions 1966's Mister Buddwing and says, "To this day I don't know what it was about. What were they thinking?"

I used to work for a company with a division that made cellulose acetate for cigarette filters. Part of my job was to monitor patent and literature publications that might be of interest.
I noticed that the velocity of publications followed a trend:
- Very little in poor countries
- Vastly more as they got richer and started enjoying cigarettes
- A decline when they discovered these things were killing them.

Yeah tell that to my dad who was a chain smoker for most of his life and still weighed over 300 lbs until he developed cancer, from the smoking. Also bilateral emphysema. Oh and another form of cancer (from the smoking) that was detected while he was being treated for the first cancer.

And in the "Everything Is More Complicated Than You Think" category, just making the cellulose acetate tow to make cigarette filters is a long, multi-step process that starts with wood pulp and ends in a miles-long strip of material fed into a box and shipped off to cigarette manufacturers.

The right low-beam headlight bulb is out, and it's HID and very hard to get to. I had the left done about two years ago. It's complicated and things have to be moved out of the way. The tire and service store has been recommended to me by locals -- "They do good work."
Otherwise Salina has been great, perfect weather, good streets. If they get done with this in a reasonable time, I might hop on the I-135 and drive down to that pipe shop in Wichita I've heard about.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 21, 2026 [Doof]
When ya gotta go... Built-In Car Toilet: The Future of Comfort on The Road?
Long road trips can be uncomfortable, especially when there’s no easy place to stop for a bathroom break. To solve this problem, Chinese engineers are developing a car toilet that can be built directly into electric vehicles. Seres, a company focused on high-end electric cars and smart technology, has received a patent for an in-vehicle toilet system. This car toilet is designed to slide out from under a passenger seat, making it easy to use during long drives, camping trips, or when staying inside the vehicle for extended periods. The system is designed for convenience. Drivers or passengers can activate the car toilet either by pressing a button or using voice commands. When not in use, it stays hidden under the seat, saving space and keeping the interior neat. To manage odor, the toilet includes a ventilation system with a fan and exhaust pipe that pushes smells outside the vehicle. Waste is stored in a tank that needs to be emptied manually. There is also a heating element that helps evaporate liquid waste and dry solid waste, improving cleanliness and reducing odor.You know who might not like this idea?
A day after San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island closed to visitors for a week of repairs at its ferry dock, National Park Service spokesperson Joshua Winchell provided more details regarding what led up to the shutdown — and why another closure is on the horizon. The island was briefly closed on Jan. 14 so staff could inspect the pilings that secure the dock on the island. “Results from this inspection confirmed the need for repair,” he said in an email. “Additional improvements to the dock and pilings are anticipated later this year, which will necessitate another temporary closure of the island.” Alcatraz City Cruises makes more than 3,200 ferry trips to the island annually, according to Winchell, transporting 1.5 million visitors per year.Any of you ever been to "The Rock"? Please share your experience! ----- There was a discussion on a daytime thread last week about new music. Several Hordelings were of the opinion that there is no new rock music being made. I disagree with that. There is plenty of new rock (and other genres, too), we just don't get exposed to new music the way we used to. Here's an interesting article on the subject. It is from an Australian perspective, but its points apply globally, I would say. Streaming platforms give us access to new music, so why are fewer people listening to it?
In 2017, music streaming platforms, led by Spotify, became the dominant form of recorded music distribution in Australia. The shift from a purchase-based (CDs, vinyl and downloads) to an access-based (streaming) economy represented a fundamental change in the music business. Streaming platforms, with close to unlimited repertoire, enable and encourage passive listening via playlists and algorithmic recommendation. The result is that catalogue music has become the mainstay of the recorded music industry.The algorithmic recommendations mentioned above are where users have the power / choice as to what to be fed. If you allow the algorithm to feed you tracks related or similar to those on your playlist, you have a better chance of hearing something new (or at least new to you). What are your thoughts, fellow music lovers? ----- Speaking of music. This is another interesting topic, I think. Comparison of $4,000 boutique audio cable to $7 Amazon Basics cable shows audiophiles waste a lot of money — scientific audio equipment analysis with analyzer shows no difference in quality
Should you splash out on those upgraded audio cables to take your music listening pleasure up a notch? Probably not - affordable Amazon Basics RCA cables are more than good enough - confirms audio TechTuber Amir from Audio Science Review. This won’t be a surprise to regular readers. However, it is interesting to see Amir’s $7 vs $4,000 cable analysis using scientific audio equipment – as well as drawing from his personal music listening experience.Check out the whole thing. Very thorough analysis and comparisons. ----- Couldn't agree with this more! The influencer culture is asshoe.
Let’s find whoever started all that crap and LOCK THEIR ASSES UP.

Salina is a small city, and I like city amenities without too many people and cars. Plus Salty and NotSoThoreau have been talking the state up for a while and urging me to visit.
Why not? I hate Da Swamp and the humidity-drenched regions around it. When I got to Pine Bluff, AR, on Friday evening, I was exhausted, damp, and wrung out. When I arrived at Fort Scott, KS, on Saturday, I was tired but not wasted. And the same on Sunday at Salina -- though that was the short leg of the trip.

Well, there was one cute girl who got off the elevator in my hotel this morning . . . but she was guarded by a Doberman.
Oh, you mean houses? Yes, one, a blue-and-white bungalow with a white picket fence (really!) and a two-car garage, plus a partially finished basement that almost doubles the usable space. The floors are hardwood or have been resurfaced with laminate, the garage has a door opener, and there is even a little windowed pantry space off the kitchen that I know the cats would love. Main bedroom and bath downstairs, two smaller bedrooms or offices upstairs. It faces east on a N-S street, too.
A little high on the price scale for me, but my realtor lady thinks I could offer $10K under and see what happens.

Cuter than that. It's medium blue with white trim, it has a little astroturfed front yard with two garden patches trimmed with bricks, and while there are no porches, there is space out back to make a kind of patio.
The odd thing: The big refrigerator is in the dining room just outside the kitchen. There's an alcove for a fridge in the kitchen proper -- but this big thing just won't go through the archway. Realtor lady said I could have it moved to the garage, buy a new smaller one, and sell the old for more money than the new one.

I get good cables for the guitar and amp speaker cabinets because they take a beating. The better cables are thicker, have better ends on them, and they last way longer compared to cheaper stuff. I don't do it for sound though. At home I'll use the cheap shit because they don't get hammered, but I have all good ones in the road cases for when it counts.

Twice. Once as a kid, once as an adult. First time they had a tour guide who actually told us interesting facts about the place and some of the more famous (or infamous, if you prefer) inmates and answered questions. Second time you could rent a headset.
One the first tour the guide told us a story about when they would let you "feel" how it was to be an inmate by letting people go into the cells and closing the cell doors. Then the mechanism had a failure and a group got stuck in the cells for a few hours. They don't do that any more.

I lived in San Francisco for several years and went to Alcatraz quite a few times. It's best to go around May when the flowers are in bloom and the baby seagulls have hatched. They’re adorable. The audioguide of the prison is a must. It's very well done and there are sound clips of former prisoners that are quite haunting. Plus, the ferry ride over offers exquisite views of the city. I highly recommend it!

Because appeals have been filed, he is stuck in a detention center until his case is heard again by a three-judge panel in five to seven months.
Which means he is in a cell with no A/C and five other roommates.
Johnny will be sleeping next to the shithole in the floor, at least initially as the new guy.
He will only be allowed out of the cell for 30 minutes a day.
There will no talking, only passing letters allowed.
One hot shower a week and there are fights over the hot water.
His food will consist of bad rice and soup unless it's a holiday and then gets white rice.
Only way for him to buy stuff from the commissary is to speak fluent Korean or find someone to buy for him.

One thing I spend too much time on is researching photos online of places in non-fiction books, especially memoirs.
If they're mid-century or less, addresses are available in the Census and the sites may still be standing.
Sometimes the picture in your head is better than the reality, though.

It used to be the cons covered the guests' expenses and such so autographs were free. But now they charge for autographs to fleece the con-goers for even more money.

One important factor is you have a constant strong breeze with all of that. So the temp and humidity won’t seem anywhere as bad as some places. But there will be a few weeks of oppressive heat.

Which is why I want a house that will be easy to air-condition. And a "few weeks" of oppressive heat sounds like a dream after a climate with *ten months* of oppressive heat, and warm humid days possible in the other two.
The 82 F. today felt so dry by comparison to Da Swamp that it was more like 72. My hands were dry and not feeling dipped in glue. People have said it was one of those perfect days they get every year -- but then they don't know what I'm fleeing.

I hope it works out how you would like it - and I hope she tells you what she needs.

Think NV has long wildly over-represented Ds, based on total House state-wide votes. Probably other states as well.
Don't the TX and prospective FL redistrictings still leave Ds over-represented?
With unaccountable courts substantially running/ruining the country by ignoring the constitution and building a ridiculous edifice of court-made law, federal institutions under Dem prezes mere weapons against the public and their pathetic political "opponents", nothing resembling an actual press, and rampant official lawlessness at state and municipal level (with enormous costs and body counts) - just to what degree is the US actually a constitutional republic with representative govt. and rule of law?

Man, I'm really getting in astro-space geek mode. I just watched, with some excitement, NASA's presser today on the new Nancy Grace Roman space telescope. Isaacman was there, and he was happy to tout it came under under budget and ahead of schedule. Let's hope he gets that ethic burned in some hides in NASA.
The thing is fully racked, stacked, and packed ready to be mounted on the launch rocket (Falcon 9 Heavy) to launch it to L2 sometime in Sept.
This thing is going to blow away all the previous ones, as impressive as they've been. It will survey and map in one year what would take 2000 years with Hubble, for instance. It will produce over 1TB of data every day, and will have amassed 20 PB of data after 5 years.
And it will discover tens of thousands of new exoplanets. As of now, there are about 6000 confirmed exoplanets. They expect this thing will raise that to 100,000 when it's done all it can.

Friend who's a world-class ocean swimmer used to have business trips up there, with one client they would *go for a swim in the Bay* instead of lunch. !!!! He also used to do the swim where they start (I think) from the Marina, swim out and around Alcatraz, and back. There's a current on the back (north) side that's like 2-3 knots or something, so it takes a while just to swim that portion.
He also won, or placed, in the swim where they drop the contestants out beyond the south pier of the Golden Gate - the finish line is the Bay Bridge. !!!!!! He laughingly described how the "newbies" would seek the warmer water - which was actually the outbound current. Vets knew to find the coldest water on the swim in - in-bound current. Tenders kept ships from killing these guys. This guy's not really human, something different with him.

The technology here with this thing is amazing. It has a fancy coronograph instrument that, bottom line, will allow *direct imaging* of exoplanets close enough.
You've probably seen the LASCO corona graphs and similar. They block out the light of the sun, allowing the corona to be imaged.
Well Nancy Grace will do that with the little points of starlight, and get images of even tinier little dust specks, which are the exoplanets, buzzing in the glare of those points of starlight.

In theory one could gerrymander out the minority party so they hold no majority vote in any district. Even 51% vs 49%.
The only reason why there is even one R district is because they could not find a D with enough intelligence to draw the boundaries. So the best the 51% could do was eliminate 80% of the 49% minority leaving them a net 10% of the population.

The clot shot fiasco bear heavily in this. We made young healthy people get a poison shot to protect them against a disease that is no danger for young healthy people.
Now, the flu shot isn't dangerous, but it doesn't really do anything either. By the time we guess what flus are coming out of China they'll have mutated so much your vaccine won't protect you.

"Yeet" is what Tim the Enchanter did to travelers who failed to answer his questions correctly; for a concrete example, Hi-Point has a 9mm pistol that they named Yeet Cannon, by popular demand. It comes from the same slang dialect as "boop the snoot." I do not know what its usage here signifies.

Meghan McCain of all people was complaining that the CIA agent ran as a moderate and is governing as a leftwing lunatic.
There are no moderate Dems officeholders. The party won't allow that anymore and the actual people that fall into that group like RFK or Tulsi are now Rs (sort of).
But the frustrating part is more LIVs just won't pay attention. "The nice guy on the evening news said Mrs CIA Agent was a moderate unlike that extremist guy running as a Republican! Err what issues was he extreme on? Uh...I don't know?"

The exoplanet detection method will be gravitational microlensing. This is the tiny, *tiny* bending of light by the planet sized bodies it's looking for. That's just amazing of itself, and show the orders of magnitude this tech is progressing.
That will allow it to detect exomoons, provided they are far enough away from the parent planet. The mass limit there is about Ganymede mass, our own Moon would be a bit below the threshold. They're setting the expectations low, but they say they expect to confirm at least one exomoon orbiting a big Jupiter or bigger sized exoplanet.

They definitly restrict access to older music.
Searching for things, different sessions of the same song by the same singer or group, will not come up in selection. I think they do it to avoid ASCAP or BMI fees. They also edit movies and other, such as the History channel, showings.
If they do it to those things they will do it to new music.

Too big a topic for a comments section. The ludicrous disenfranchisement in VA just brought the whole thing to mind.
Technically, as 18-1 wisely pointed out, the ridiculous VA districts create a risk of a Dem wipeout, given plausible political conditions on election day (that's DAY, bitches, talk to Alito if you don't follow). If you draw a map such that about 45% of the voters (all things being equal/typical) can only win 10% of the seats, by necessity you've created some weird and volatile districts.

There've been many hints of late that the standard model of the Big Bang/cosmology is wrong (hints the universe expansion might not be accelerating -- the type 1a supernovae "standard candles" might be wrong, etc, etc).
When Roman completes it's first one year survey of the whole sky, that will be confirmed or refuted.

I think both the UK and the Netherlands did studies of the enormous data collected over decades on flu shot benefits. IIRC impact on mortality was statistical noise. Don't think they looked at anything else but collecting "data" on things severity of an influenza-like illness is probably doomed to be squishy subjective and useless.

...USAID and NGO workers are the least sympathetic unemployed people I’ve ever seen.
EVERY person in this story was making well into six figures:
USAID employee: $175,000
USAID contractor: $127,000
USAID-funded NGO employee: $272,000(!)
USAID advisor at the DOD: $195,000
USAID contractor: $200,000
There were 16,000 employees at USAID, and the New York Times was only able to interview one making less than $175k. Worldwide, there were an estimated 280,000 contractors.
ALL of these people were getting paid from our tax dollars. Many were making 2-4x the wage of the average American taxpayer ($65-70k per year).

Amusing, but a little disturbing, that Wolfus's prospective Salina home has been outed already. He may have to look elsewhere. Saw that Arkansas and SE Okla were recommended. I'd add NE Okla, plenty of burbs in the Tulsa region might meet his criteria. Weather is a little better than SE Ok😉, and OK politics are more conservative than Kansas. We need all we can get. He'd have to start openly packing and buy a big black broad-brimmed cowboy hat, though.🤠
A shame his gal is so passive-aggressive about his moving, but not surprising from what he's written about the two of them. 🥺 He has to do what he has to do.

"On April 19, officers from the LeFlore County Sheriff's Office, the Wister Police Department, and the U.S. Forestry Department, were called to assist with a welfare check at a residence. Upon arrival they were met with gunfire; when the officers returned fire the suspect retreated into the residence and barricaded himself inside. During the exchange of gunfire, Deputy Sheriff LeMay and a Wister police officer were struck, and Deputy Sheriff LeMay was pronounced dead at the scene"

THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT.
His lawyers didn’t show up to negotiate.
They showed up to BEG. Here’s what Bondi’s team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama’s codename — RENEGADE:
— 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.”
— A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN.
— Communications with Epstein’s handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.”
— A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office.
He didn’t just betray America.
He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired.
His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity.
Trump said no.
No deals. No mercy. No escape.
The man who divided America for 8 years is about to face the America he tried to destroy.

After about 8 years at that pay I would be solvent and banking everything since just waiting for it to end. Nothing that good lasts forever.
I bet these people were actually still balls deep in debt and couldn't even come close to making their bills on even an $80,000 a year job.

Jesus. It always seems to go that way. I'm working on getting a building with a lift. Trying to see where on the property to put it, and how big I can get away with, or afford, because I need it.

That’s 25 days of work each year that Americans are paying directly to fraudsters.
I’m guessing it’s a lot more than 3%-7%. There’s so much more fraud to uncover here in the United States.

When mom went into memory care, we had one hell of a time getting her to take a shower. She would always tell us she would shower when she got home. I guess she thought she was visiting somewhere, but it's not like she didn't shower on vacations before. No idea what the issue was about.
Luckily the visiting hairdresser would wash and set her hair like the bad old days, and she liked that fine.
After a life of cleaning everything all the time, why would she decide to stink?

NYT opinion:
"It is not ageist to ask whether older people should be required to give more to younger Americans and national priorities - it is critical to the future of our democracy and society. America needs to confront gerontocracy before the system collapses under the weight of its inequality and injustice.
Older Americans deserve a say over the future even when they might not live to see it. But they do not deserve the stranglehold over it they currently enjoy through overrepresentation in elections, which produces too many regressive policies and too many seniors in the highest offices.
Older Americans are owed the care that everyone else funds. Indeed, they should get more of it than they get now - including funding for long-term care at home or in nursing homes. But they also need incentives to give up accumulated housing, jobs and wealth.
In little more than a century, the extension of life has transformed American and global politics. It turned older Americans, who had been one of the most underprivileged groups in the country, into some of the most overprivileged."

As @POTUS has made clear, the United States Navy will continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In a matter of days, Kharg Island storage will be full and the fragile Iranian oil wells will be shut in. Constraining Iran’s maritime trade directly targets the regime’s primary revenue lifelines.
The @USTreasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran’s ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds.
Any person or vessel facilitating these flows—through covert trade and finance—risks exposure to U.S. sanctions.
We continue to freeze the funds stolen by the corrupt leadership on behalf of the people of Iran."

Went to see three more houses today. One was okay, one was lower than meh as it had no garage (but space to build one at least). The third was a charmer. Unfortunately, as I was leaving to meet Salty for an early dinner (and he is, as I always suspected, a gentleman as well as a scholar), my car flashed a message at me: "Right low beam failure."
I had the left done a couple of years ago, and I know it's not as simple to change the HID bulb as it was to swap a bulb in 1970s-1990s cars. But my regular mechanic told me he had to take the bumper off to reach the headlight housing! YooToob videos make no mention of that, but admit various bits have to be removed or moved. I've had a tire and service place here in Salina recommended to me and will try them tomorrow. I don't want to drive at night or in rain with only one headlight!

The whole thing is against the VA Consitutition.
Normally, you can't make an amendment unless a vote has passed between - aka, you need 2 sitting legislatures both passing it. Ds passed the amendment after early voting started in the last state legislature, so that does not meet the "a vote passing" in between standard.

It was a great dinner -- excellent Italian food, and we had a great time talking.
The tire and service place I've had recommended opens at 7:30. If it's like tire places in Da Swamp, they don't take appointments and are first come-first served. The part won't be terribly cheap, but labor to do something like remove and replace a bumper is rough. On the other hand, the driver's side, which required that bumper removal, may be more crowded with gear like the fuse box than is the passenger side. We'll see.

Sometimes you get lucky if you look at it closely. We had a 2001 Acura TL some years ago. The procedure was to drop the bumper. I found a much faster way that didn't require dropping the bumper. A friend of mine had an Altima that was supposedly a nightmare to change the bulb. All I did was pull the air box and got to it no problem. Maybe 10 minutes.

As mentioned, it will be interesting to see how this turns out (if the VA SC keeps chickening out). If they kept the districts the same and turnout was the same from 2025, Ds would have been 9-2 after 2026. Now, they've spent a ton of money, used up a lot of political goodwill, will be putting up new candidates in the gerrymandered spots, and are hoping for 1 extra seat. Will be interesting if this backfires, and they end up 8-3 or worse...

So I hope. The YooToob videos I've looked at, for my car and year and the HID headlights, don't mention the bumper removal. Maybe I'll come out of this quickly and for less $$$ than I expect.
Hey, it's a ten-year-old car. This was bound to happen sooner or later. The Buick has been extremely reliable and cheap to run, feed, maintain, and repair.
The tire shop is within a mile of the charmer house I looked at this morning, so maybe I can get an idea of the neighborhood (which looked good on the visit earlier).

Funding education off property tax is evil. Fund school buildings? Sure. Because nice school buildings (and grounds) can have other community uses, and a nice modern school building can be a magnet to draw new residents to the community, spreading out the tax burden a little.

Lots of the schools up here do get funded by general revenue, because most of the village do not have a tax base worth shit. But, in the populous areas, like Anchorage, Fairbanks, MatSu, and the Kenai, they soak property owners for it. Sucks when you realize the schools are awful (except for some reason, in MatSu). We do not pay state income tax, and the only sales taxes are local to municipalities, which then pays for services. We do soak tourists for things like fishing and hunting licenses, bed taxes, and other premiums. But most of the income is from oil and gas development.

Went to see three more houses today. One was okay, one was lower than meh as it had no garage (but space to build one at least). The third was a charmer. Unfortunately, as I was leaving to meet Salty for an early dinner (and he is, as I always suspected, a gentleman as well as a scholar), my car flashed a message at me: "Right low beam failure."
I had the left done a couple of years ago, and I know it's not as simple to change the HID bulb as it was to swap a bulb in 1970s-1990s cars. But my regular mechanic told me he had to take the bumper off to reach the headlight housing! YooToob videos make no mention of that, but admit various bits have to be removed or moved. I've had a tire and service place here in Salina recommended to me and will try them tomorrow. I don't want to drive at night or in rain with only one headlight!

If anyone is interested, the peak of the April Lyrid shower occurs early this morning. The radiant is just rising here, and it will transit pretty high in the sky around 5AM or so local time. Best time to start looking is around 10PM local time or so.
I've never had much look seeing meteors when I'm actively looking for them, but your mileage may vary.

Quick Hits
Communist traitor and generational fraud co-conspirator Tim Walz has started a new PAC to, get this, grift money.
This will be the mechanism which funds his very unearned retirement.Boy Democrats will do a lot of work to avoid any actual work.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz launched a federal political action committee on Monday and the name of the new venture quickly created a stir on social media among conservatives. Walz's PAC, first reported in Politico Playbook, is named the "Small Town PAC." The governor said he wants to "show up in small towns" and "organize in places too many people have given up on, and build power with the folks who call these places home." "If Democrats want to win in more places, we've got to start showing up in more places," Walz wrote in an X post. Walz was widely mocked by conservatives when he ran for vice president in 2024 for his attempts to make inroads with rural voters -- like touting his blue-collar roots and hunting hobby.This is a very Minnesota-heavy Quick Hits, because Minnesota is a third-world garbage state filled with nasty communists. Sorry, Minnesotans, but you know it's true. Ilhan Omar has amended her past financial disclosure which revealed that she was now a millionaire with up to $30 million in assets. She now says that was a big whoopsie and that we should just ignore that and stop asking her about it.
"Small towns across Minnesota loathe @Tim_Walz," state Rep. Kristin Robbins, Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate, posted. "Small towns and townships overwhelmingly voted against you, Tim," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. "We think your policies are despicable." "Small towns across Minnesota loathe @Tim_Walz," state Rep. Kristin Robbins, Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate, posted on X. "He infamously disparaged them as @RocksAndCowsHQ and his left-wing policies are opposed by most!" Daniel Turner, executive director of Power the Future, wrote on X, "Good Lord small town America hates everything you stand for: open borders, trans insanity, defund the police, rampant crime, Somali fraud."
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) will "be held accountable to the fullest extent" if it is discovered that she was involved in or benefited from "any fraud." His remarks follow a Wall Street Journal report that a financial disclosure listed her and her husband's assets at between $6 million and $30 million. Omar's office later told the outlet the filing contained a "discrepancy," and an amended version put the couple's assets at between $18,004 and $95,000, the Journal reported. "Omar is saying the multimillion-dollar discrepancy was nothing more than an accounting error. In what world is a multibillion-dollar correction to a person's financial disclosure considered normal? Perhaps this member's accountant, perhaps Ilhan's accountant, is a graduate from the Quality Learing Center. Either way, this about-face shows incompetence at best and a cover-up at worst," Emmer told reporters during a press briefing on Tuesday. "Make no mistake, if Ilhan Omar is discovered to have been involved in any or to have benefited in any way from any fraud, she must be held accountable to the fullest extent," Emmer added. A lawyer representing Omar wrote in a letter to the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) that, "While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred," according to the Journal.The "bulbous goon" who violently attacked Savanah Hernandez is now on a media tour, insisting that he attacked the 100-pound woman in self-defense.
But the situation has only intensified GOP scrutiny of Omar. She has long been a target of Republican criticism, with backlash mounting earlier this year over reports of an alleged sprawling fraud scandal in Minnesota, in which many people charged were of Somali descent. Prosecutors claim that billions of dollars were stolen by various groups that purported to have provided meal assistance for children in need, in addition to other social safety net services that were reimbursed through state agencies. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox News's Sean Hannity on Monday that, "She's never explained to the public how her net worth was $30 million and if she made a mistake, how the mistake happened." "It's highly unlikely that she made a mistake. This isn't going to go away from her. So we're going to continue to try to push for answers and see if her name pops up in any of these frauds that Vice President Vance and the House Oversight Committee are detecting in Minnesota," he said.
Savanah Hernandez
@Savsays UPDATE: Chris Ostroushko says that the backlash his family has beenreceiving for their actions last weekend has been "overwhelming" and "nonstop" He's now "second guessing" living in the United States, because he's unhappy with how negatively the public has reacted to him assaulting a woman on camera. He is in complete disbelief, stating that, "I've never had anything like this happen in my life". Chris and Deyanna have been going on a press tour continuing to assert that they are the real victims, despite millions watching the footage of them instigating everything. There is also a GoFundMe for them, where they are currently trying to raise $8k, stating that they've lost their jobs and, "are facing one of the most overwhelming and life-altering moments they have ever experienced". The family has still taken zero accountability for any of the violence they committed and are in complete shock that they are facing consequences for their actions. Last week Chris also did an interview where he lied, stating that his family is "absolutely not violent" and that all he did was "stay back and watch" everything, despite being on camera shoving me multiple times.

Every single action against Trump since 2016 and the Russia hoax is part of a conspiracy to deprive him of his rights. That conspiracy continued at least until the 2024 election.
The statute of limitation for a conspiracy starts after the last overt act of the conspiracy. All of it is fair game.

And more importantly, COVERING UP such past criminal acts -- which continues to this day -- is considered part of the conspiracy and resets the timer for Statutes of Limitations.

SPLC has been indicted.
They were paying their "informants" to stage hate crimes.
80% of the stat cited by the left "increase in hate crimes" was exaggerated or faked.

[For those unaware, The U.S. Senate avoids formal recesses by holding pro forma sessions, during which a single member gavels in and out of session, often lasting less than a minute with no legislative business conducted.

"Prosecutors claim"
The Feds have been convicting these crooks left & right, up & down, and by the barrel, for several years now and The Hill is still pretending these are all allegations that can't be independently verified.
The propagandists can never, ever, let one chink in the armor of B.S. get through to the normies.

✅ Reject ALL assimilation - build parallel Islamic societies instead

✅ Use “Palestine” as the keystone to fuel global jihad
✅Form temporary “Red-Green” alliances with Marxists and leftists to destroy the West from within
✅ “Nourish a sentiment of rancor with respect to the Jews (Christians) and refuse all coexistence”
✅ Infiltrate institutions, seize control of local power centers, and impose Sharia step by step"

For a while there I was maintaining a list of them, and it was long. Quite a few mayors and city officials on that list. I attribute it to a phenomenon I first encountered from Thomas Sowell, and it made no sense to me at the time: Black people should not focus on getting political power, but on getting REAL power. Economic power, he meant.
Be able to form or join constituencies that sway Big Decisions in government and industry, and get in to politics as the middle-class itch arises.
Instead, they're parachuting in from positions of ignorance, no achievements, no legitimacy. When they get into unearned and undeserved positions of power on no motivation other than to have it, they fail in every way, including morally.
By the way, Tiffany Henyard, ousted Mayor of Dolton, Illinois, is now in Fulton County running for office.

Even the Baptists are getting in on the fraud. From Alpha News:
---------------
(The Center Square) – The Minnesota Department of Human Services has filed a civil lawsuit against a north Minneapolis church, alleging it misused millions in taxpayer-funded grants intended for mental health, substance abuse and violence prevention services.
According to the complaint, Zion Baptist Church accepted about $2.48 million between October 2022 and April 2025 through two state grant contracts but failed to meet key requirements tied to those funds.
The lawsuit, which was filed earlier this month in Minnesota District Court, alleges the church breached its contract with the state and was unjustly enriched by retaining funds without sufficient evidence the services were provided.

The optics are fine. Despite all Pete's whining Trump is sitting in complete control of the situation. Iran is blockaded, nothing of any substance is getting in or out including their oil which pays for their entire economy.
Iran has no navy and most of their missiles and drones are gone. Any time Trump decides he can lay waste to Iran's infrastructure and there is very little Iran can do to stop it.
He has to deal with the political reality of the situation. He has to show everyone and especially his critics that he has given Iran every opportunity to do this peacefully. He also doesn't want to damage their oil industry to bad to send the world into a recession.
He's not just crushing the mullahs, he is wrecking China's world. He's doing just fine.

A liberal group is looking to counter the influence of conservative Turning Point USA on college campuses by launching its own club that invites students to fight back against “authoritarianism” and “corporate greed.”
More Perfect University (MPUniversity), founded by the liberal media group “More Perfect Union,” made its big launch on Monday, saying students in all 50 states joined MPUniversity in the six days leading up to it.
The launch featured a livestream and interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whose advisors founded More Perfect Union.

I think many are quite surprised how resilient the Iranian government has been, but you’re right, the Third Reich is a near perfect comparison. But while I’m critical of extending the ceasefire, I say the the counter blockade is a stroke of genius. Iran is losing over $500 million in revenue Per Day, and there’s no way they can hold up under that too much longer.

I wonder if there have been any times in human history, say in the past 60 years or so, where a technologically backwards force fighting on its own territory managed to defeat a superpower.
To do that they would have to absorb tactical defeats while winning strategic victories. But surely that could never happen. Certainly not in central or Southeast Asia.

The vineyard, buy the way, didn't own any vines. It would buy grapes from wherever and make wine. The secret was in the magical marketing. eStCru was the name. It was all a giant scam. Screwed a bunch of investors.
In fact, that was HOW they screwed the investors - they sold shares of a $30 million winery promising 200% returns, and the winery was only worth $50k. In fact, the winery valuation moved from a reported maximum of $50,000 to a range of $1 million–$5 million depending on the filing.
The $30 million valuation wasn't an error, it was part of the investment scam. Now they realize it has gotten them into hot water. But next, the shareholders will sue for fraud.

I think that all they need is a solid expansive beachhead, enough for a fort with a very wide cleared area all around, and then declare it conquered American territory.
Hold beach bikini luaus with roast pork and cold booze and frisbees flying and dogs running around, every. Single. Day. On (formerly) Iranian land. What are they going to do, just sit there and let that happen? The Russo-Ukrainian war has shown how brutal the new battlefield drone reality is for attackers -- and that's even without air supremacy, which we also have. Trump could also taunt them on social media every single day, putting them in a catch-22 of dying on offense or losing all legitimacy.

Seriously, how in the fuck does he look weak? He's killed multiple levels of Iranian leadership, sunk their entire navy, hits targets within Iran at will, has the entire country blockaded and now he is sitting there with a million guns pointed at Iran watching them tear themselves apart over their next move.
He's even managed to expose NATO as a bunch of feckless turds and, I don't know why people choose to ignore this, has China on a string because their entire economy runs on Venezuelan and Iranian oil.
Do I care if he ends this today or next week? I do not. You know what Iran isn't doing today? Funding terror around the world. They are a non-entity.

I actually was pleased with how Venezuela went. Cuba? China? I don't feel like we have an answer yet and I'm not sure what you think Trump did. Ukraine has involved broken promises. And I don't regard pissing on NATOs shoes then begging them to help to be a brilliant chess masterstroke.
I'm able to evaluate Trump on a case by case basis. And I'm not deceived by his purported negotiating skills. He's actually not a really good negotiator. He's just used to having the upper hand in the New York real estate market and he can push subcontractors around.
He's showing his weakness with Iran, which anyone who doesn't have TDRS (Trump Dick Riding Syndrome) can see

That's the optics I'm talking about. He looks (momentarily) weak by treating their concerns as if they're valid. None of their minds are going to be changed by magnanimous behavior on Trump's part, because he's making it less and less likely that Iran will ever be able to exterminate Israel, which they care about achieving more than the possibility of Iran using nukes against us.

Conservative Former DOJ Prosecutor Joe DiGenova Sworn In as Special Consultant to Investigate the Russiagate Conspiracy
And what are they investigating? That's right, whether Democrat officials created a color change operation to remove a sitting president of the United States.
U.S. Installs a Trump Loyalist to Lead 'Grand Conspiracy' Case Into Trump Foes A former lawyer for President Trump's campaign, Joseph diGenova, is said to be planning to split time between Miami and Fort Pierce, where a grand jury overseen by a Trump-favored judge sits. By Charlie Savage and Alan Feuer As a sprawling inquiry expands into whether former federal officials committed crimes in investigating President Trump, two unusual factors could ease the way toward securing the indictments he craves. A former lawyer for Mr. Trump's campaign, Joseph diGenova, has been selected to lead the inquiry after a career prosecutor in Miami was removed from that post this week, a senior law enforcement official said on Saturday. And at least part of the investigation appears to be using a grand jury based in Fort Pierce, Fla., overseen by a federal judge, Aileen M. Cannon, who issued rulings favorable to Mr. Trump during the classified documents case against him, the official added. Mr. diGenova is expected to split his time between Miami and Fort Pierce. Together, the moves show how the Justice Department under Mr. Trump's control has been willing to embrace politically charged tactics and unorthodox personnel decisions in its efforts to satisfy his demands to prosecute his perceived foes -- even as other prosecutors loyal to him have encountered forceful pushback from courts against his wide-ranging retribution campaign.
Mr. diGenova, 81, who served as a U.S. attorney in the Reagan era, has been given the title of counselor to the attorney general and detailed to the Southern District of Florida, where the U.S. attorney, Jason A. Reding Quiñones, another Trump loyalist, is supervising the inquiry. Mr. diGenova's appointment comes after Maria Medetis Long, a senior career prosecutor in Miami who had been in charge of the investigation, was abruptly removed from the case. Ms. Medetis Long, who leads national security investigations for Mr. Quiñones's office, is said to have objected to moving forward with a portion of the inquiry focused on John O. Brennan, the former C.I.A. director. The law enforcement official familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive internal issue. Because Judge Cannon is the only federal jurist in the Fort Pierce courthouse, she could be in a position to make critical decisions if Mr. diGenova uses the grand jury there to subpoena documents or witness testimony and the recipients balk, asking her to quash the demands. Judge Cannon was criticized by an appeals court in 2022 after she effectively stalled the investigation into Mr. Trump's mishandling of classified documents by appointing a so-called special master to sort through reams of materials seized from Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida. Later, Mr. Trump praised her lavishly, calling her "strong" and "brilliant," after she tossed out the indictment altogether, ruling that Jack Smith, the special counsel who filed the charges, had been improperly appointed.Why did Trump have to reach outside the current DOJ corps of prosecutors? Because Obama, and then Biden, purged every single older, experienced conservative prosecutor from the DOJ.
Bringing diGenova in for that role confirms something that I've long believed about the 2020s version of the Department of Justice -- the near complete purging of DOJ of anyone remotely resembling me between 2009 and 2025 has left the Department without a contingent of gray haired and/or balding older folks with conservative political views AND the experience and skill set needed to methodically piece together a very large jigsaw puzzle of evidence that involves dozens of primary players, hundreds of locations, and lasting over a decade in time. The exercise requires patience and a willingness to backtrack and go a different direction whenever you encounter an evidentiary dead-end. It does not lend itself to "head down bull-in-a-china-shop" youthful enthusiasm. One thing I learned in handling 90+ cases involving January 6 defendants is that the roster of AUSAs across the country who I encountered looked nothing like me in my last 10 years with DOJ -- from age 42 to 52. The number of J6 cases prosecuted by DOJ was so large that the AUSAs working in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office were unable to handle them all. The Biden DOJ put out a "tasking" to all U.S. Attorneys' Offices across the country to designate a certain number of AUSAs from their offices to be assigned to handle J6 cases. I personally handled cases that had AUSAs assigned to them who worked in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Mexico, Chicago, New York, Boston, and Tampa -- just as a sample. The majority were women from their late 20s to their late 30s. To the extent I was able to discern their "politics" through conversation or taking the time to learn more about them online, they were uniformly liberal progressives -- not a single exception that I can recall. Similarly, the male AUSAs I encountered -- with only 1-2 exceptions who were well into their 40s -- were pretty obviously liberal progressives. I do not recall a single encounter -- across 90+ cases -- where the AUSA ever let on or suggested any kind of political "alignment" with the January 6 defendants as a group. I don't mean comments that might have excused the conduct or criticized the Biden Admin. approach to the prosecutions -- I don't recall a single comment that could have been construed as suggesting the AUSA was a Republican who supported Pres. Trump during his time in office in his first term.
diGenova was sued after he said publicly that a former Trump administration official who didn’t back the election lies “should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot."

The official sued him and diGenova was forced to apologize.

Months before the 2020 presidential election, U.S. intelligence issued a secret but stark warning that foreign adversaries had the capability to "compromise" America's voting infrastructure and raised specific concerns about the vulnerability of voter registration databases that later would be penetrated by China and Iran, a newly declassified memo obtained by Just the News shows. The National Intelligence Council's (NIC) concerns were so extensive that officials personally briefed President Donald Trump at the White House in February 2020, according to photos obtained by Just the News showing top CIA, FBI and Homeland Security officials joining with NIC analysts to inform the president. But the American public was never fully alerted, even after evidence emerged that China had gained access to voter registration data in multiple states and had even sent fake driver's licenses to the United States in a bid to help Joe Biden win the election, officials said. "We judge that US adversaries, including, at a minimum, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure for the 2020 presidential election," the NIC wrote in the memo dated Jan. 15, 2020. "Adversaries gaining access to US election-related systems could disrupt the voting process, steal sensitive data, or undermine confidence in the election results, but we do not know whether any of them have specific plans to manipulate election-related systems," the memo added. The document was recently declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who continues to expose examples of the intelligence community suppressing or misusing intelligence.

Okay, we had an impeachment, spent tens of millions of $, and what exactly the fuck was the result of the Russia collusion investigation?
Zip. Nothing. Literally nothing. Not a single person went to jail or was tried for any offence related to Russian collusion. 13 Russians were indicted for hacking and leaking DNC e-mails. Trump's lawyer plead guilty to trumped up charges. some tax evasion and bank fraud bullshit. Loads of people being prosecuted for making false statements.
Hence it seems fair to ask, was there ever, anything, whatsoever, to this investigation? Or was it politically motivated? That seems kinda sorta important.

Black was the color in the name of the formal movement organizations (BLM), black was the color in the name of the street thug tactical style (black bloc), and black was the color that (some) people changed their social media avatars to a solid square of. It was a (nominal) Black Revolution, albeit run by CIA honkies, and its "success" was a mere four-year delay of Trump's second term. So, it failed.

President Trump on Tuesday afternoon announced he has extended the ceasefire with Iran – but the Strait of Hormuz blockade is still in place.
Over the weekend, President Trump told Fox News reporter Trey Yingst that he was going to “blow up the whole country” if Iran did not agree to the US’s peace plan.
On Tuesday, Trump said he extended the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request

Iirc, she secured funding for the restaurant that fronts the building that housed the infamous Learing Center, and they allegedly made meals during Covid for thousands of people.
If this is already known, can’t imagine it will take much digging to find more.

Southern Poverty Law Generational Wealth Center Says It's Being Investigated by Trump's DOJ; Democrat Fundraising Arm ActBlue Takes the Fifth Amendment Rather Than Answer Questions
The SPLC says the DOJ is investigating them over their use of paid infiltrators who supposedly tell them about extremists' groups plans.
That's silly. There's nothing illegal about that. Sounds like a big bag of bullshit to me. I imagine the SPLC is putting out spin ahead of the actual news coming out. They're being investigated, I would guess, over criminal conduct, but they want to get all the lefties (and I guess all the Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Space Laser, and Tuq'r Qarlson fans) on their side before the real news drops.The Justice Department is allegedly investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center in connection with the group's use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist organizations decades ago. ... Bryan Fair, CEO of the SPLC, said that the organization doesn't know all the details, but the Trump administration has launched an investigation, which may lead to charges. Fair said the SPLC worked with informants during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, when violence against activists was running high.Yeah I have a feeling it's about self-enrichment and embezzlement. Or about, say, sexually harassing/coercing female staffers and then demanding they remain silent for "The Great Cause."
At PJM, Matt Margolis says that ActBlue is "toast" and doubts they can survive taking the Fifth Amendment on almost all questions about how they raise money -- and from whom, and from where.
A damning interim staff report from the House Administration, Oversight, and Judiciary Committees paints a damning picture of widespread illegal foreign donations flowing through the platform with the full knowledge of ActBlue's leadership, followed by a massive cover-up in the hopes of preventing Congress from finding out. Two ActBlue officials -- including former Vice President of Customer Service Alyssa Twomey, who oversaw the fraud-prevention team during the 2024 election cycle -- and three former lawyers refused to answer a single substantive question from investigators. Combined, ActBlue employees invoked the Fifth Amendment at least 146 times across depositions with the three committees between July and December 2025. ... Then there's the legal and compliance team. By March 2025, every member of it was gone -- resigned, fired, or on extended leave. According to the interim report, "this mass exodus was a direct consequence of ActBlue's failure to deter illegal foreign political donations" and the CEO's prior misstatements to Congress. The report states that every member of the legal and compliance team "appears to have left the platform after the 2024 election because of its 'knowing and willful' acceptance of illegal foreign contributions, and the subsequent cover-up."Read the whole thing.
Every. Single. One.

So, for example, a European oligarch wants to send $5K to some candidate - Act Blue then gets the money but passes it through a bunch of accounts they control and the official report to the FEC says there are 1,000 $5 donations.
They explains why there are so many small, irregular donations going through Act Blue, why the people who are supposedly donating have no idea they donated, and why they are so secretive in their records...

Sure, sure. Note, they put out the most flattering possible thing. Informants in private organizations are not illegal. The SPLC could hire a white guy to join the KKK and then have that person report back to them on what he saw and heard. No crime would be committed. Hence there is no conceivable way the DOJ would investigate this.
Now, if current informants were busy breaking a variety of laws, then yes.

A lot of mainstream-ish lefties I've known for years keep getting blindsided when non-lefties they've known their whole lives finally just throw up their hands and say something like this:
"Hey, you know what, we arrived at our collective post-racial moment towards the end of the 90's. Then Obama went and pissed all over it to score some cheap political points, after we got a decade and a half of 'everything is whitey's fault' culminating in a near-universal exclusion of white males in many careers and the 2020 riots. You want tribalism? You get tribalism. I'm not lifting a finger when the death squads come for you, because you're not in my tribe. Get fucked."

The thing is, in principle, it is a valid point (Citizen's United.) On the other hand, it funneled more money into the rat race which has turned most of the GOPe into grifters and shits (which they were before then, but they were the corporate party.)

The GOP's shift into grifter-central was well under way in the middle of the last century.
I come from a family of GOP office-holders. It is 110% about the grift, 24/7. A solid 3/4 of the GOP is as dedicated to grifting as the Dems are dedicated to closing ranks.
The primary difference between the RINOs - at least the ones that aren't undercover progs - and the Dems is that the GOP focuses on smaller scale individual fraud, because they're driven by money. The Dems are driven by *power*, understanding the money will follow naturally. As will raping their staffers, murdering leakers, and various other sorts of depravity.

This can only be because the compliance team saw prosecutions on the horizon, not because ActBlue was doing business as usual.

When I first heard of the Southern Poverty Law Center, I thought they were engaged in something noble. As I learned more about them, their bogus list of racist organizations, their indifference to slandering and endangering the innocent, their scamming terrified old jewish widows out of their money, I realized that they actually give racial grifting a bad name.

Southern Poverty Law Center is under criminal investigation by the DOJ for using paid informants to infiltrate groups.
AP report on that goes the full article without ever explaining--or even hinting--why that could be a crime.
But it spends lots of time how the SPLC is such a noble organization, and lots of quotes from them.
Here's what should have been discussed:
Incitement, conspiracy and misprision of felonies.

The primaries are the underlying cause of the problem. We need to go back to an older system, where the party greenlit 4-5 candidates. They went around the country, giving speeches and gaining support. At the convention, the delegates vote for the candidate they want. Each round of voting, one person is eliminated, till the last person gets the nomination.

It was blatantly obvious that ActBlue was deliberately breaking up big-money donations into smaller donations that wouldn't meet the $201 dollar threshold above which donors had to be identified. There would be tens of thousands of odd-dollar donations and the sum of them for any individual name that was reported as having "made the donation" would usually come to between $190 and $200.
Every candidate that used ActBlue had this pattern. Every one of them.

4hBREAKING - MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WAR PLAN EXPOSED
We Have Obtained the Muslim Brotherhood’s Secret Blueprint, “The Project,” to Capture America, is Operating UNTOUCHED from Their Virginia Command Center.
It was created in 1982, seized right after 9/11, and has been executing with ruthless precision across America for decades while our elected officials do absolutely nothing to stop it!
Roadmap…
✅ Reject ALL assimilation - build parallel Islamic societies instead

✅ Use “Palestine” as the keystone to fuel global jihad
✅Form temporary “Red-Green” alliances with Marxists and leftists to destroy the West from within
 ✅ “Nourish a sentiment of rancor with respect to the Jews (Christians) and refuse all coexistence”
 ✅ Infiltrate institutions, seize control of local power centers, and impose Sharia step by step"

Mollie Hemingway: Leftwing Justices Slow-Walked The Dobbs Decision Even While Right-Leaning Justices Were Targeted With Death Threats and White Powders
And they did this, of course, to expose their colleagues to danger and menace, in hopes they would buckle and change the decision to match what the violent leftist mobs and assassins demanded.
When the draft of the Supreme Court ruling that would overturn Roe v. Wade leaked to the press, the conservative justices who signed on to the majority opinion suddenly wore bigger targets on their backs. The very real threat of assassination hung over them like a coming thunderstorm. And still their pro-abortion colleagues stalled the release of the official ruling for weeks, putting the justices' lives at increased risk, as detailed in Mollie Hemingway's new book on Justice Samuel Alito and reported Saturday by Fox News. Alito is the justice who wrote Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the ruling ending nationalized abortion. "Alito asked the dissenters to make the completion of their dissents their priority because delay of the decision was a security threat," Hemingway, The Federalist's editor-in-chief writes in Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution."Abortion supporters had an incentive to kill one or more of the justices in the majority to change the outcome." The dissenters -- Justices Stephen Breyer (counting down the days until his retirement at the end of the 2021-22 term ), Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor -- "demurred," Hemingway reports. Justice Neil Gorsuch asked the liberals when they expected to be wrapped up. They refused to provide a date. The tension and the threats escalated. ... It took 53 days to finally release the Dobbs decision. Despite the growing threat to their colleagues, the liberals on the court refused to listen to urgent pleas to complete their work, Hemingway reports.Read the whole thing. I love the "conservatives" telling us they'll defect to the left if we don't agree with them that the Zionist Entity must be wiped off the map. There's further bad behavior from leftwingers on the Court -- they've leaked documents about internal deliberations to the New York Times, despite Roberts' very stern warning that they should stop doing that or face another warning. Note that this article does not say that leftwingers leaked these documents. I say it was the leftwingers, because 1, they've done before -- see Dobbs -- and 2, this leak seems designed to create fodder for the left to claim that right-leaning Justices are "activists" who need to be put in check or impeached. (Or reduced in power by packing the Court.)
In yet another blow to the Supreme Court's long-cherished tradition of secrecy, The New York Times has published confidential internal memos that shed rare light on the justices' private deliberations. In a report titled "The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court," the Times published 16 pages of confidential documents exchanged among justices over five days in February 2016.See, the Court ruled against Obama's EPA and its issuance of orders without legislative authorization to do so -- so this was leaked by leftwingers who think that a Democrat Administration has All the Powers under their twisted version of the Constitution.
...
The memos -- unlikely to have surfaced for decades under normal circumstances -- capture behind-the-scenes discussions led by Chief Justice John Roberts as the court moved swiftly to issue a stay without full briefing or oral argument. They also suggest the majority was concerned that, absent intervention, the Environmental Protection Agency would impose what it saw as unlawful regulatory burdens on electric utilities.
That decision marked a significant shift toward resolving high-stakes disputes through expedited orders, a practice that has since expanded to cases involving presidential authority and other major policy questions.

Kagan, an Obama nominee, made her opinion on the delay loudly clear, according to Hemingway’s book, as reported by Fox.
“Hemingway wrote that Kagan, an Obama appointee, angrily confronted Breyer, a Clinton appointee, in May 2022 behind closed doors after at least one justice, Samuel Alito, had asked his liberal colleagues to speed up writing their dissent because of security threats,” Fox reported. “Breyer was most likely to agree to Alito’s request, Hemingway wrote.”
Hemingway wrote that “Kagan remonstrated with Breyer not to accommodate the majority, screaming so loudly, observers noted, that the ‘wall was shaking,’” according to Fox.

Not "what the violent leftist mobs and assassins demanded," but what the leftist justices themselves demanded. If the leftist DEI justices didn't want violence threatened on their colleagues, they would've hurried up with their decisions. Those leftist justices wanted their colleagues to change their mind, and they were fine with using mob violence or threats thereof to compel it...

If some justices are slow-walking the decision, it suggests that the other side should be all that much closer to the final sign-ons and concurrences. Why would a justice who had sat through arguments and even gave signoff to an opinion be fully discounted simply by not being alive at the time the decision was publicized?
That would be sick.

It’s why the liberals have constantly tried to undermine it. They know the power that unelected judges can wield to subvert the Bill of Rights and ensure a permanent Democrat majority.
Until the courts are righted, our democratic republic will be under threat.
Our liberties were never meant to be meted out and limited by a bunch of unelected jurists. Nor should we ever let that occur. Ever.

The choice to omit her scene was reportedly due to a creative decision.
According to a report from EW, Sweeney‘s appearance would have come near the beginning of the movie, but was scrapped because it did not work structurally.
Yeah, sure. It probably had nothing to do with her refusing to play the game of leftist gotcha media while failing to denounce Trump as a fascist dictator.
Leftist Lady Gaga's cameo will remain in the movie, however.

And they might very well win it.
If its a real civil war they lose.
But they can easily win if a Dem controlled FedGov just starts arresting dissidents. As long as they promise senior GOPe members they'll be left alone the GOPe will allow it to happen, even if they in turn get rounded up later.
One flashpoint we almost saw - DeSantis threatened to turn out the FL NG if Biden implemented Vaxports.
Presumably the Junta believed other states would join in.
But suppose a President Newsom arrests Trump and his cabinent and actual opposition GOP leaders. Would the states actually do anything or just let it happen?

Here's the thing. They read it because it was written simple enough where they thought they understood it. And also - no military ever fought like Sun-Tzu wrote. No business ever really acted like that either.
Leave your opponent an avenue of retreat so they won't fight as hard ? That was one of the brilliant writing of Sun-Tzu. Nobody does that - because its stupid.
Attack where your opponent is weak ? Great idea, Sun. Simply brilliant. Now tell me how to find that spot.

They want Battle of the Little Bighorn II. With them as the thousand-plus Sioux and allied warriors, along with a thousand-plus women and children following along to kill the badly wounded and maim the still-living and the dead, and us as Custer's 470 or so cavalry troopers and officers with single-shot carbines and a few dozen revolvers.

Most troops did not die in fighting but being cut down in the retreat/rout until relatively recent centuries. What Sun Tzu is talking about is inducing a rout, which was the key to wars for most of human history. The avenue of retreat need not be extensive or largely viable, it's a place for the enemy to panic funnel towards.
He also talks about cutting off your own retreat, such as Cortez scuttling his boats, to prevent routs.
In short since battles were won by morale, you want your troops to believe they're firmly committed and must fight or die and the enemy to believe they can back off. The side that starts running first gets butchered.

"Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.

Cortez literally did that. Setting one's back to a river is also a reasonably common approach for similar reasons.
Sun Tzu is talking largely of melee combat, which stopped being dominant arguably in the 20th century.
Supply in the WW1 and further sense isn't really what he's addressing either. Foraging for supply as he describes isn't as possible on that scale, nor do we depend on raiding as much in war.
Sun Tzu wasn't making stuff up, they're tactics that were in use and continued to be in use for quite some time, including outside of Asia.

Maybe, if we all go Middle Ages and regress, you can carry that copy of Sun-Tzu around and put your band of who knows what backs to the river and somehow attack the weakest point in the other band of fuck-ups and then route them while they think they can retreat before your guys run out of lunch-meat.

Sun Tzu isn't talking about business when he's describing where to pitch a camp or how to position in regards to sunlight.
He's literally just going over many of the basics of warfare in his era.
It's fine that you don't understand it. It is not relevant to you anymore than Roman engineering is. That doesn't make them stupid.

Iran Refuses to Send Delegation to Negotiations in Islamabad as Cease-Fire Is Due to Expire
The trouble here is that Trump wants a deal. Iran does not. They want to keep their nuclear program and missiles and remain in power. Trump wants them to want a deal, but they do not.
So he keeps threatening them in apocalyptic terms to make them want to want a deal. But they don't. And I don't think they believe he would or even could "end their civilization." Trump doesn't want this war to drag on but that's exactly what Iran wants. They figure that if they can drag this out, public opinion in the US will compel Trump to just walk away from the war without actually forcing them to come to terms or to abandon power. And they're probably right, unfortunately.Last-minute ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran looked uncertain Tuesday as a two-week truce was set to expire and both countries warned that, without a deal, they were prepared to resume fighting. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, expected to lead U.S. negotiators if talks continue in Pakistan, remained in Washington on Tuesday, a White House official said. And Pakistan, which has been urging both sides to return to Islamabad, said it was still awaiting confirmation on whether Iran would participate. Earlier in the day, two regional officials said Washington and Tehran had signaled they would hold a second round of talks, with Vance leading the U.S. team and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf as its top negotiator. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters. But Pakistan's information minister, Attaullah Tarar, said later Tuesday on X that Iran had not formally confirmed its participation. The ceasefire was set to expire Wednesday. AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on further confusion regarding this week's projected Iran-US ceasefire talks. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told Iran's state TV there has been "no final decision" on whether to attend because of "unacceptable actions" by the U.S., apparently referencing its recent blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.Tousi has a more optimistic take on this than I do, stating that this is just a "desperate" tactic by Iran to show that they're the ones in charge. But... if one person wants to negotiate and you refuse, you are in charge, at least on the question of whether negotiations will happen. He also says Iran is in "chaos" because no one knows who's actually in charge there. But that also means that the deal that Trump so desperately wants -- and I think he has telegraphed his desire for a deal much harder than he should have -- will still not happen. I don't think this bothers Tousi much because he wants regime change, and Iran is making it clear that nothing but regime change will result in a deal. But Trump just doesn't have the Bush-like indifference to public opinion and sheer bullheadedness about continuing an unpopular war. Iran believes that if they just refuse to concede, Trump will eventually be forced, by public pressure, to just declare a (false) victory and go home. Just making more and more extravagant threats isn't changing Iran's posture. I don't know where this goes from here. I think Trump can afford to just wait Iran out with a long and crippling blockade, but I don't know that Trump feels like he has enough public support for several months of low-intensity warfare. I've feared from the start that there is just no way to truly win a war without some ground component -- you have to literally blow their heads off and hang them from street-lamps -- and without an armed civilian overthrow, I'm thinking this war ends in a stalemate. Lots of damage inflicted on the mullocracy -- but the mullahs left in place to rebuild. Do you have a more optimistic take than I do?
Vance had policy meetings scheduled at the White House on Wednesday morning, said a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The vice president's office and the White House did not immediately respond to messages asking whether Vance still intends to travel to Pakistan. Trump says he doesn't favor extending ceasefire Both sides remain dug in rhetorically. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that "lots of bombs" will "start going off" if there's no agreement before the ceasefire deadline, and Iran's chief negotiator said that Tehran has "new cards on the battlefield" that haven't yet been revealed. The ceasefire, which began April 8, could be extended if talks resume, though Trump said in an interview Tuesday with CNBC: "Well, I don't want to do that." "We don't have that much time," Trump said, adding that Iran "had a choice" and "they have to negotiate."

The CCP lined up the entire family of the landowner, and starting at one end, asked where they were hiding their gold and other treasures. The first guy didn't talk, so they shot him dead. They asked the next guy, and he wouldn't talk, so they shot him dead too. Eventually they found someone who was willing to spill the beans.

I had a lot of optimism that this would be over quickly when the entire leadership structure of the regime was eliminated within 2 days of the war starting - but clearly the Iranians that want freedom were all massacred.
I'm not in favor of "nation building" again. I don't think it would necessarily be the same as it was in Iraq and Afghanistan but at this point I'm not willing to take that chance.
I also don't think the blockade will work long term. Supposedly 26 "ships" have already broken through the blockade but that wasn't verified.
We'll see what happens. I'm trying to suppress my own inner eeyore but alas, it's tough to really see how this turns out the way we want.

I do not.
I believe Iran thinks, with good reason, that they just have to hold on until either January of 2027 with a new, democrat led congress or at worst, January 2029 and the likelihood (in their opinion) that we'll have a democrat president who will go back to appeasement. Appeasement and kowtowing will continue at least until either Tel Aviv or an American city, or both, are incinerated. Even then, I don't think we'd dare respond in kind and risk a nuclear exchange with Iran's allies Russia or China.
Unless Trump can rip this out by the roots and salt the ground so it never takes hold again, we'll face the possibility of an American city being nuked by Iran.

My negative Nancy side says that Trump was all bluster and just slinks away shouting that "We won!" Over Truth Social into the void. Regime in place, no deal and the Straight with a pittance of traffic moving through. Gas prices above 4 persist until the mid terms will mean we lose both houses and that's it. Trump will have lost all credibility on the global stage and will be finished at home.
Positive side says Trump goes for the jugular. Negotiations were theater to set up the big play. A massive sustained attack takes place.

The "Persians" protested but ultimately supported The Evil Regime for decades, so if they have it a little rough for a year or five, so be it. Once all the caves and tunnels are bombed shut or blown up, any ability to wage war will diminish greatly.
How actual Regime Change happens, idk. There are various alternate powers that be in Iran, and I can't figure out who is who in that crowd. Would be great if the key IRGC just took their gold and cash and ran away ... not sure where they'd go.

Iranian drones and missiles have managed to do damage to some very, very expensive US systems. If nothing else I hope the Pentagon has awoken to the notion that "many and cheap" is something we need in addition to "few and expensive" on the modern battlefield, which is a lesson they should have been learning from the Ukraine battlefield.
Iran still has lots of drones and missiles protected in deep mountain bunkers. If they peek their noses out we can hit them, but not actually destroy all the bunkers.
I don't see how we accomplish what we need without real regime change from an uprising. Since the population is unarmed, what we need is a huge number of cheap drones to (1) take out the Basij and any regime resistance throughout the country and (2) control the missile and drone bunkers.

The whole strategy and maneuver of this conflict makes me think there are some very twisty minds doing the planning, and are happy to make the various remnants of the "mosaic defense" start fighting.
Iran was known to be deeply "siloed" and this was seen as their greatest strength since if you broke one cell, the others could continue to fight on - Unlike the top down Bolivarian structure in Venezuela. We seem to have destroyed the coordination between the heads of each cell (thanks to the Israelis' intel) and since the only coordination came from the trust between the heads, the ability to coordinate is also borked.
It is going to be a waiting game punctuated by nasty shocks to see if the IRGC runs out of money, the Iranians run out of patience for failure, or the US Midterms demand a resolution.

Yes, one needs boots on the ground to win a war. But they don't need to be American boots.
Estimates are that up to 70% of the iranian population hates the Mullahs and wants them booted out, especially with the younger/college-age generation, where anti-theocracy sentiment is closer nton 80%-90%. That's a LOT of potential "resistance fighters" ready to get violent to overthrow the mullahs.
'But for some reason, aside from a few scattered reports, there still is no mass uprising.
I can only assume that Team Trump is in communication with some of the "leaders" of the "resistance," and that at some point, he's gong to say "It's Go Time" -- that a massive U.S. aerial campaign will coincide with a massive armed uprising internally. And I assume that the U.S. and Israelis are helping to arm the rebels.
It might be bloody, and it might take linger than we;'d want, but I still think the mullahs will be overthrown before trump's term is out, with minimal to zero U.S. fatalities.

A question that's been on my mind regarding bombing bridges and power plants - why not avoid hitting the actual plant or bridge and just destroy the roads and transmission lines connecting them to the outside? Yes - they can easily be rebuilt - but I believe we can easily keep that from happening until we say it's ok.

I've feared from the start that there is just no way to truly win a war without some ground component -- you have to literally blow their heads off and hang them from street-lamps -- and without an armed civilian overthrow, I'm thinking this war ends in a stalemate. Lots of damage inflicted on the mullocracy -- but the mullahs left in place to rebuild.
From the beginnings of Air Power, this has been the dilemma. Air power alone won't win a war, no matter what Douhet and every other air power theorist thought.
Ironically, we're probably closer to that total Air dominance paradigm now than we've ever been in history. The way to win is to keep shooting the IRGC and mullahs in the face with bombs and drones so that the Persian people can become the ground troops who defeat the mohammedan fanatics. It's still a gamble though.

WWII was played out as 'War is Hell'. Civilian casualties were an acceptable collateral damage. Hitler exceeded that with V-2 rockets striking London indiscriminately as a terrorist act. The allied forces bombing Dresden (civilians be damned), was to dismantle German rail logistics and show to Russia that we could soften resistance to Eastern attack. That was the fundamental inception point that caused Germany to sue for peace.
We, America do not encroach on civilian survivability. That is why how opponents exploit us. They do not give a rip about their own civilians. They use them as shields. That is why we have 10 year wars with a stale mate.

The United States has technological prowess generations beyond anything any other nation can produce. But we do not have the willpower to use it to its maximum effect (wiping out entire populations because we can).
On the other hand, the Iranians have NO PROBLEM wiping out entire countries, but they lack the technology to do it.

If our goal is merely to stop their nuclear program, maintaining the blockade or destroying their oil infrastructure would be sufficient. The US does not actually need a deal or for Iran to be a functioning country on the other side of this to achieve its objectives.

As Ace said, Trump WANTS a deal...no, he doesn't need one, but b/c he's been selling a deal, he won't feel happy if he doesn't get one...or an Iranian rise up...

The theory about air power relies on essentially brining civilization to a halt. That means unrelenting, unceasing targeting of everything from infrastructure to food supplies. It’s the apocalypse by Air Force. I dare say that’s never been tried. We get into these things with a limited target package and then expect people to fold without brining the real pain. That type of limited air war will fail most times because of execution and ultimately a will to carry out total war.

If you're opponent knows youre not willing to really fight a proper war, they aren't going to surrender to anything. It's also obvious because Trump says it over and over, he wants this over quickly.
To me it's either invade with ground troops and secure Hormuz or walk away. It depends on the day you ask me.
My heart wants to see a real regime change in Iran and the gloves taken off, my head tells me this would politically be a death knell for Trump and the GOP to do it right.

It's possible that a sustained blockade will precipitate the collapse of the regime. That would require our military presence, but is not "boots on the ground."
It's possible that a sustained blockade will be too boring for the TDS media to sustain their campaign of "get Trump."
It's possible that Trump & Co are working to reestablish arms smuggling to the Iranians, in which the Kurds - or anybody - can intercept them.
It's possible that specific targeting of the IRGC, whether by the US or more likely by Israel, will accelerate the collapse of the regime.
It's possible that this whole thing could be resolved without necessarily resorting to US "kinetic action."

It's almost like the antebellum reality of having several million barrels oversupply is catching up to reduced traffic from the strait. Weird.

The problem, as I see it, is WWII in the Pacific ended because there was an all-powerful emperor who didn't want to die, wanted what was good for his people and was able to command the military to stand down and surrender and a military willing to obey.
None of those conditions exist in Iran.
I don't see Iran having a rational, all-powerful leader. Even if there is/was an all-powerful leader, he's not rational and thinks death will lead to paradise and his 42 raisins. Ditto for the military (IRGC). It's victory or fight until everyone is dead. Kind of like the Nazi's in Germany. The fight went on until there was nothing left to fight with and no one left to fight.

The Islamic Republic's internal position is so strong right now that they imported their Iraqi militias to keep the populace down, all while mid-level and up commanders of the Basij and IRGC are being stabbed in the streets and blown up.

One of the big things we make a point of in discussing use of lethal force in self-defense (e.g., guns) is that you do not take out your gun in the hopes of scaring off the bad guy. You do not take it out presuming that the sight of your gun will unnerve them and they will flee.
You only take your gun out when you feel the need to stop the bad guy with some extreme force and probably kill the guy. You do hope and pray that in the 1/2 second from your draw to the sight picture being aligned and you begin to squeeze the trigger that the bad guy will turn and run. But you didn't draw your gun to achieve that result, you drew it to put large holes in the bad guy's torso and head and any result other than that that ends up saving you is just gravy.
And I think (as you say, Ace) that Trump being oriented on The Deal loses sight of that. He's drawing the gun and talking to the perp, and convincing him to make a deal. When he should just put 2 in the chest, face gets the rest, and walk away.

I'll grant that exception to the rule. But remember, the vast majority of Japan's ground power had already been destroyed or was trapped in mainland China or on hundreds of scattered Pacific Islands. Destroyed mostly by ground forces in those faraway locales. There was virtually no trained and experienced ground forces left to defend the Home Islands as they were mostly deployed elsewhere.

OPEC+ has spare capacity as they do not operate at full capacity. Marginal shale production in the US takes a little under a year to bring online.
Markets are not seamless hence why Asia and Europe have been feeling the squeeze far worse.
As much as people have been making a big deal of it, this is a modest price shift consistent with a relatively small disruption. If we had a 10%+ year-long disruption prices would be substantially higher.

If you're willing to put Iran to the torch, this thing is wrapped up in 2 weeks. Destroy all bridges, electrical generation capacity, oil storage and water treatment plants.
No more fuel for attack boats, food production or transport, no electricity for communications, and internal regions are isolated from each other, making moving regime forces around even more impossible.
In 100 years, if the descendants of the survivors are still showing their ass, you burn their country again.
Will we do it? Almost definitely not. That would require Trump to be a bit of what the left has been screeching that he is for the last 10 years.

WTI, Brent, and other oils trade at different levels all the time. It is a global marketplace, but different varieties from different places have different prices all the time for an assortment of reasons.
Regional issues could make disparate impacts on one region over another.
It's why WTI isn't trading at $70, but it's also why there's a $10 difference between Brent and WTI right now.

I find your comments interconnected. Both the media and Democrats are doing their usual hit jobs against Trump and his administration by painting action against Iran as a war crime, incompetent, danger to our military, etc. etc. anything to damage these operations in the minds of Americans and to taint the midterms. To hell with America and to Iranian citizens.

Trump gave Delcy Rodriguez the chance to be in charge and she liked the idea.
The analogy in Iran is that Trump is trying the same thing, as the civil government and the regular army were controlled by the IRGC and their militia and forces, and should they see the chance to get free they will act.

Gas prices in the US were definitely psychological. They shot up and are only slowly going down, but the shoot up was never reflective of anything but the handful of days when oil prices spiked to about $120, and even then gas prices were too high. It's just gouging, and it will eventually work itself out.
The manufacturing issue is mostly a China issue. Their oil they were getting from places like Iran and Venezuela they were getting for about $30 a barrel. Now they have to enter the regular market to make it up. They're buying from us now.
So, yes, there are upward pressures. I never said there weren't. However, there are massive downward pressures at play as well.
I've said it for a while, but by summer the only people who remember the oil spike will be US shale oil producers who look at their new Bugattis they bought when they uncapped their wells.

It was actually put out by Lloyd's List. The Pentagon called it false information. If ships got past the blockade, there was a reason we let them pass.
There is no way a large ship can go unnoticed by USN.
I flew the P-3C out of Oman during Operation Earnest Will. That aircraft had 1980s technology ISAR (radar). In a calm-ish sea state, that radar could detect a submarine periscope sticking up out of the water from up to 20 miles away.
Imagine the capabilities of the newest generation ISAR on the P-8, which are no doubt flying around the clock on surveillance missions, as my squadron did during Earnest Will.

That's why I think Israel and the US should/will/is smuggle/ing arms to internal Iranian resistance groups, possibly through Kurdistan.
This may very well be a "Long March"-type revolution, rather than a quick-strike revolution. Mao didn't just capture Shanghai one random day and boom he win the war. No -- the Long March started in 1922, which was 27 years (!!) before his incredibly slow-moving revolution finally achieved victory. We want a band of Iranian rebels to storm into Tehran, execution a few leaders, and declare the mullahcracy over, in perhaps one quick afternoon of fighting. Instead, it may take years, either inch-by-inch geographical seizure by rebel forces, or little-by-little internal sabotage.

Also, I don't know that the "war" is unpopular. Certainly the globalist commies and Democrats (but I repeat myself) don't like the war. But casualties have been so minimal that nothing has ever been seen like it in the history of warfare. But out in the real world, nobody is complaining -- most normies are happy to see the mullahs get the ass kicking they've deserved for almost 50 years.
Over 10,000 sorties with the loss of a few aircraft and about 2 dozen casualties -- on top of which a textbook Suppression of Enemy Air Defense Systems campaign that ass-raped the Iranians and showed the Chinesium SAMs to be garbage. It's a yuge accomplishment. No other military in the world could have done this.

Do this in the top 5 cities one one evening and there would be instant chaos.
The cost of these Ak's are trivial compared to the high tech missiles we are using daily. You can buy 20,000 Ak47's for the cost of one THAAD missile.
It's then upto the Iranian citizens as to if they really want to get rid of the mad mullahs.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy Prepares to End New York's Right to Issue Commercial Drivers Licenses
He will also cancel $73 million in federal transportation funding for New York.
JOSH DUNLAP
@JDunlap1974 Apr 20 TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SEAN DUFFY EXPOSES NEW YORK'S ILLEGAL CDL SCANDAL -- 53% OF FOREIGN LICENSES ISSUED ILLEGALLY, PULLS $73M FUNDING Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just laid out the shocking fraud uncovered in New York's commercial driver's license program. "We audited New York and 53% of the licenses, commercial driver's licenses issued to foreigners. 53% were issued illegally contrary to our rules," Duffy said. The Trump administration gave New York four months to fix it. "We gave New York four months to say hey what we want you to do is just go back in audit all these licenses that you've given and if you've given them contrary to the rules, we'll revoke that license." New York refused. "In essence New York said go pound sand DOT," Duffy stated. "So we had no choice but to pull funding -- and if they still refuse, we can pull their ability to issue commercial driver licenses." Duffy emphasized the national danger and the America First response: "There are countless Americans that want to drive trucks. These are great jobs. They support families. Instead we have illegals or foreigners getting these jobs hurting the American people. We will not tolerate it at DOT. President Trump said no more."

Abortion. Seemingly overnight, TPTB somehow convinced a solid plurality to turn against self-rule, subsidiarity, and human life, in favor of imperial kritarchy and baby-killing. The histories are exceedingly opaque on how exactly that massive public opinion shift was effected, generally pretending that everyone just suddenly realized that it was common sense all along.

Until another cartel judge says he didn't comply with some made-up bullshit.
Like "the Administrative Procedures Act requires you give them 18 months notice and a right to appeal forever. And the 14th plus the Pursuit of Happiness Clause."
What he needs to do is send a letter to every trucking company in NY, and cc their insurance, that they have 30 days to certify under penalty of perjury that every driver has a valid US CDL, provide copies of same, or their DOT license is cancelled.

They rely on being chameleons. You can find multiple different trucking businesses at the same address using the same trucks and same illegal/immigrant drivers.
To the extent that they often use crude remarking of those trucks to a new name and identifier whenever it is convenient to hide the old one.
And they buy the minimum insurance plus rely on the fact that their new trucking firm id is not the old one so the poor victims are suing a corpse.
That is why the whole current Scotus decision is so important. If the brokers are held responsible for hiring these fly by night gypsy firms that are unsafe, then that segment of the industry will go away saving lives and removing another magnet for illegals and work visa truck drivers not capable of following the rules of the road including speaking and reading English.

I've seen two major changes now filtering through the popular media(movies, TV shows, etc) lately:
1) The leftards now hate Amazon. Almost everything new has a negative mention/opinion of Amazon.
2) This is the shockah!
"Babies are horrible! Babies are gross and stupid and ruin your life. I see my girlfriends with babies and they are all angry and sad."
This is so werd. The one reason for women in the (natural) world is to have babies. That's, you know, the whole point of their biology.
I'm a strong believer in that you "have to feed the animal" ie. that they only way to live a happy life is to make sure to take care of what God and nature has created in you. And having offspring is the number one drive in all species.
Crazy development.

Read about chameleon trucking firms--essentially shell corporations used to deflect liability and enable rapid switches using the same trucks and drivers to escape scrutiny and legal liability.
Scotus has a case going right now where lower courts have allowed the brokers to be sued for hiring such firms that cause injuries or deaths from accidents. Lower courts have held that brokers, as intermediaries between the shippers and the trucking firm can be held liable for failure to do due diligence for the firms they hire.

Oregon has been slow rolling a number of construction projects on I-5 and the I 205 in favor of pet projects like putting roundabouts on state highways and giving grants to cities for sidewalks, being the best use of federal funds.

- And Dirka Muhammed LLC sure as shit can't pay the rate for Aladdin Muhammed to be insured. So it hides his employment.
- And when Aladdin Muhammed crashes through a van of kids, he goes back to Turkey; Dirka Muhammed LLC renames to Muhammed Dirka, LLC. Hires another illegal Aladdin.
- And the insurance carrier pays out $500k-$1mm+ under the MCS-90 and passes that loss onto the rest of us in rate increases.

Oh, I know it well.
They'll stack 2-3 of the Aladdins in a truck and drive it 24 hours a day.
Not a valid license among them and not one listed on the policy.
And that's the good ones.
They've injected several fake trucking companies into the system who exist just to steal the load.
Such as Guy Ferrie having $2mm of his tequila stolen.
Or the recent theft of Kit-Kats.
But, it's going after you now:
Car shipper brokers are hiring shell companies who hire shells who change the delivery address.
And your car is gone, gone, gone.

And yet, the rest of the GOP Senators don't take this opportunity to start objecting to unanimous consent, make a call to recess, etc to punish Thune for his insolence.

More below. None of this makes sense. He's 18, should have tried as an adult but they tried in juvenile court since the victims were juveniles. What???? How about deportation? Charges were slapped down to misdemeanor level since felony would be an auto deport? Guess he's not leaving Fairfax City anytime soon......
-------------------------------
The judge said that for the victims, the offenses had "adjusted how they move through life," underscoring the lasting effect the assaults had on the students involved.
After serving his sentence, Flores Ortiz will be placed on two years of probation. The judge also ordered him to undergo a psychosexual evaluation and complete any treatment recommended as a result.
Addressing Flores Ortiz directly, the judge struck a more measured tone at the close of the hearing, telling him, "I absolutely believe in redemption" and, "this does not define you."

That ship has already sailed, the Feds can make the states do whatever the Feds want due to the Commerce clause explicitly, even before the current reading in NLRB v. Jones and Laughlin Steel, allowed the Feds to regulate transportation of goods and people across state lines. That is why the ICC existed even in the Dual Federalism era. See Gibbons v. Ogden for why.
Laws and constitutions don't matter much when the Democrats are now openly a Mafia like organization and the GOP being the cowardly types that look the other way. The issue is the decay of society to allow that rather than specific policies.
You cannot have a Constitution nor Rule of Law if Democrat ran jurisdictions don't agree to respect and enforce those laws. Democrats have embraced their full Joker identity where criminals are good, citizens are bad, and government exists to punish their enemies and reward their friends with loot.
The only resolution, like the Constitutional Convention realized, is to use force and Scotus to make them comply. Lincoln faced the same.

The modern filibuster has made things much worse than the 70's along with the spending during the Bush years becoming entrenched.
I reasonably believe that about 500 up to perhaps 1 Trillion dollars per year is simply stolen by the political system to reward themselves and to buy votes. Another 300-500 billion is likely to be simply waste which again serves the needs of the donor and political establishments.

Magyar is fixated on "corruption"...and Orban allowed it to fester. One of the reasons that Magyar left Orban's side and party was that the cabinet ministers were turning a blind eye to corruption (including child trafficking). Magyar's wife at the time was in the Ministry that refused to punish those responsible...so Magyar left both the party AND his wife....and restarted a political party that was inactive. In short, Orban brought this on himself. And, Magyar is going to take Hungary along with the rest of the EU due to his narrow vision and personal vendettas.

Of Course: Seized Iranian Ship Was Carrying Dual-Use Materials From China for Use in Building Ballistic Missiles
Say, didn't China agree to not send weapons to Iran?
The Iranian ship seized by U.S. Marines on Monday after attempting to break through President Trump's blockade was reportedly found to be carrying dual-use chemicals shipped from China that are commonly used to manufacture ballistic missiles. In an interview on Tuesday, President Trump confirmed the report, describing the chemicals as a "gift from China." He added that he was surprised by it because he thought he "had an understanding with President Xi."
It's time to deploy the oil weapon against China. Trump is now in defacto control of Venezuelan oil and Iranian oil, which together provide China with much of its oil. It's time to remind China of that.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! The Iranian-flagged ship Touska, which the US military seized yesterday, was in-bound from China “loaded with dual-use chemicals used to manufacture ballistic missiles,” per WP

EXCLUSIVE--Tucker Carlson and his brother Buckley want Trump to ID every Jew & Christian who supports Israel to "root them out" of government. One of first Nazi laws was banning most Jews from government. The Carlson brothers' proposed "update" is to also purge Christian Zionists. The only enemy of the people they mentioned by name in this bizarre segment was @SebGorka, Trump's most trusted counterterrorism advisor in the White House. Gorka is a staunch American patriot and a fierce anti-Communist. So why does Tucker want him gone? Because Gorka also believes that a close relationship with Israel enhances U.S. national security. The Carlson brothers' proposed purge would also cover Stephen Miller (@StephenM), @SusieWiles, and basically every single one of Trump's most loyal advisors. Of course, such a purge also would have included their late, great father, Amb. Dick Carlson, a mentor of mine, who held numerous government roles and had worked with the CIA. In the 13 months since their Dad died, Tucker and his brother Buckley have repeatedly vilified -- and outright questioned the loyalties of -- anyone who was like him, a Christian who supported the Jewish state. And both Tucker and Buckley have flirted with Holocaust denial, particularly in recent months.

Despite extensive research, I could not find a single example of Tucker acknowledging the extraordinarily well-documented fact that six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. Which brings me to a private conversation Tucker and I had maybe 15 years ago, one which I had written off at the time -- but in hindsight, probably shouldn't have. (We've never been close, but would chat if we ran into each other.) For some reason, I think because I had just toured Yad Vashem, I mentioned to him how mind-boggling it is that the Nazis murdered six million Jews. Tucker shot me a strange look, almost incredulous. Sarcastically, I quipped, "You're not one of those nutjobs who don't believe that six million Jews died, are you?" Instead of a jabbing back or acting indignant, Tucker responded, "I mean, whatever, Hitler killed a bunch of different people."Mowbray posted that last week. Tuq'r still hasn't contradicted it.
Tuq'r also claims that Trump is not a Christian, but subscribes to a religion that Tuq'r just made up called "Israelism," which is Tuq'r's way to say "Jews" while denying he's saying "Jews."
Tucker Carlson says Donald Trump’s religion is not Christianity — it is “Israelism.”

TUCKER CARLSON from deadline.
Tucker Carlson offered a mea culpa on his podcast for supporting Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign, telling his viewers and listeners that he will be “tormented by it for a long time.”
In a conversation with his brother Buckley, a Trump speechwriter, Carlson said on his show on Monday, “You wrote speeches for him. I campaigned for him. We’re implicated in this, for sure. It’s not enough to say, ‘Well, I changed my mind,’ or like, ‘This is bad. I’m out.’ It’s like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”

otherwise I could bear it;
it is not a foe who rises up against me—
otherwise I could hide from him.

my companion and good friend!

Hard for me to get worked up over this. I mean, AIPAC and others do a very effective job of rooting out candidates who don't support Israel from government.
As long as both sides are using legal, non-violent, democratic means to sway voters and lobby elected officials, I'm fine with it, except AIPAC should probably register as a foreign agent since it appears to be acting on behalf of a foreign country.

He got a bad case of "religious revelation" from what I can see. He was the "least religious Christian", but then just overnight started claiming a rebirth in faith and telling longer-term Christians what is consistent with their faith and what isn't.
Tucker got good at knocking down Dems to the point that they no longer wanted to even go on his show to run out the clock and concern troll. But he's always shown a slight tendency not to regulate his speech and effuse too much. Even back when he was perhaps my favorite commentator.

I consider media personalities the same as carny barkers myself so I never gave a shit what Tucker said anyway nor his interviews.
The conservatives on the right spend a lot of time focusing on personalities and the fact that someone in the 'media' said something nice about conservatism. And they get their hearts broken again and again when media whores turn on them--see Robert Costa, David Brooks, Nicole Wallace, etc. etc. well before Qatarlson.
To appear in TV media requires those in it to essentially be actors playing scripted parts. For example, we did not get a glimpse of folksy Walter Cronkite's severe leftist bent until after Uncle Walter was already retired. He was acting just like a criminal does so they can slip in the knife, do the long con, etc. to their audience.
Now Qatarlson is essentially retired just like Me Again, both show their real ugly selves that have been hidden by a team of producers on networks that hid their personalities from the audiences.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

How's that going for them?? Right, Cucker got serious thrashing from Trump, their buddy got kicked out of DNI's office for leaking, and Cucker's son got purged out of the administration. I don't buy the stupid story that they waited 4 months to transition him. It takes days to replace a Cabinet Secretary. You don't no four months to move out some VP aid. But somebody in the administration was looking out for him, and gave him free 4 month of paychecks to see if he can land somewhere else. But no one in DC wanted him, and Ds have their own grifters to employ. So daddy needed to set up a "firm" for him to land. Maybe Vance is thinking of hiring him '28 and using campaign funds to pay for his "consulting". LOL.

They are Germans. And recorded a lot.
The Holocaust has often been turned into a narrative- by a lot of people. This is not to say that the Jews were not specifically targeted, but a lot of other groups were. The Gypsies for example also had massive losses, but they are often lost in the muddle (or they do not care to do PR.) Political prisoners, the mentally infirm (who were targeted by most of the west for sterilization), etc.
I have had always had a problem with the narratives, which often feels like what we are told, even if with the best of intentions. I find it of a piece with glossing over the Purges of the Stalin era (or just saying they only happened because Stalin.) Or the Cultural Revolution. Or any and all of them.

I always thought this was the case as well, garrett ... however, per Brave Search "AI":
"Soviet forces arrived to liberate the Nazi concentration camps first.
. The Soviet Red Army was the first Allied force to encounter and liberate a major Nazi camp, capturing Majdanek in Poland on July 22–23, 1944.
. They subsequently liberated other major camps, including Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, as well as Stutthof, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück.
. American forces were the first to liberate camps in the West, with Ohrdruf being the first camp freed by the U.S. Army on April 4, 1945, followed by Buchenwald and Dachau in April and May 1945.
. British forces also played a significant role, liberating camps in northern Germany such as Bergen-Belsen and Neuengamme in April 1945."

This is an op -- let me explain.
1. The muslims push for this.
2. Everyone reacts with shock "not who we are." laws are passed, standards are established. You do not call out people based on their religion. Period.
3. Muzzies are protected.
There is no "moderate" conquest of the world in the name of allah. There is no sharia or koran following that is compatible with the West. But to survive we must abandon some of the things that define us - freedoms and equality. Freedom to call for jihad and preach islam, and equality of those who want to destroy us.
They understand this and want to solidify those defining pillars of the West knowing that they will be our downfall. Tucker is working for them.

I really wish heretics would simply quit trying to call themselves Christian whether Qatarlson or this twit.
Those folks practicing Wicca, crystals, or some other twaddle are more honorable than those that adopt the outside branding on a Christian but then use that to create their own religion.
Irenaeus of Lyon had their number in the second century AD in his Heresies book which basically lays out the template for every single heresy we see today in Christianity. All comes down to centering a religion on what people want to do rather than obey the word of the Lord.

I tried to slam on the breaks but it was too late. The owl tried a vertical liftoff at the last second and slammed into my windshield.
I felt awful and had never hit anything before in a car. I was kind of shaken and didn't know if I should turn around to see if it was okay, or still alive and badly wounded, or dead ,,, but figured the damage had been done so kept driving.

It is a slur just like going after Jews that support Israel by calling them Zionist.
Akin to the left calling out Christian Nationalism as the biggest threat to the world by which they mean their politics.
Zionism becomes a threat to the Muslims or leftist nutjobs because it is a barrier to get what they want--some sort of deranged idea of an ummah/Rousseau's popular will where everyone must share the same values or be destroyed.
They want Israel and Jews gone because they are different, they want Christians gone that are faithful because they are different. Both have values that are not susceptible being crushed and subjugated to the vanguard of the Proletariat or the chosen of Allah. Red/Green alliance indeed.

It's simple to understand why. The Communists won. Assume the Nazis had won, and stamped out Communism, and sent us packing... by 1950, our Communists would all become ardent Nazis and bemoan the fate of the kulaks and the peasants, and make eggs-and-omelettes rationalizations to downplay the Holocaust.

He went into this period where he really thrived on headpats from old-fashioned liberals like Greenwald and Schellenberger, and that drove him to be more-conscientious-than-thou to the point that on the still-quite-lib Joe Rogan show he thought he would impress him by making an unequivocal statement about the "evil" of Hiroshima.
And, again, even while I was a fan, I noticed tendencies that weren't so good, and this one is key: Tucker can confuse doubling down with integrity.
In other words, he over effused in one minute so "consistency" is doubling down to how he felt in that moment.
I really think this is the migration that Carlson is doing.

$1.8M Stolen From Armored Truck In Philadelphia, Getaway Vehicle Recovered, Police Say
Two armed men stole $1.8 million from a Brinks armored truck in Philadelphia’s Tacony section on Tuesday morning, police sources told Action News. The robbery occurred around 9:45 a.m. in the 7200 block of Torresdale Avenue, where the suspects allegedly used assault rifles during the heist.

There are several factors to this, but one that gets missed is, I don't know what you'd call it, cultural arrogance, maybe.
The Holocaust was done by "civilized" people in Europe.

They are actors. Same as the print reporters that start at places like the NR or Weakly Standard that become full blown libs like David Brooks. They figured the easy path to fame and riches rather than the harder path of being a leftist in print or tv.

The "revelation" that the crowd took from that is that "Fox LIED to us--they didn't think Trump had won".
How many of those people who caught into that wave ever watched Tucker's show?
As a common watcher I can tell you that Tucker was THE GUY on Fox broadcast who never told you Trump won 2020. And Tucker, on air, explained that in asking Trump's lawyers for presentable proof the election was stolen he had Flynn's old lawyer blow up on him, just for asking for presentable evidence.
It's a media-created myth that "Fox told people Trump won 2020". But that's what they ran

For the most part Jews and Christians agree on the Old Testament and don't really disagree much about the teachings of the New Testament that directly come from Judaism.
What they disagree about is the divinity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Jews agree that a Messiah can exist, they just disagree that Jesus was the one and still expect one to come in the future.
Essentially whether Christianity is a heresy of Judaism turns on a matter of identity and nature of Jesus. Rabbi or Christ?

I saw his texts. But then again, I also used to read the Other McCain and he had Tucker's number down way before when he was trying to start the Daily Caller after failing at MSNBC. One of the major silent partners was the Arab financed partner there that bought Tucker out when he went to Fox. Same guy still runs the Daily Caller.
I watched Tucker on Crossfire and briefly at MSNBC and I saw a person with no center. He was always on his own side, not ours.

The Holocaust was done by "civilized" people in Europe.
Russians kill a bunch of people, Asians kill a bunch of people, muslims kill a bunch of people, and no one is surprised as no one holds them (historically, and it's worth noting they've tended to see us the same way) in particularly high regard.

It's also that the Nazis had a scientific, corporate precision that the others lacked. It's one thing for the Khmer Rouge to murder people by literally hacking them down with swords or smashing their heads with rocks.
But the Nazis were different. They built special camps, special death machines, kept detailed records, had formal murder hierarchies, and approached the entire Holocaust with clinical precision.
It was almost as if an alien race wanted to take over the planet and needed to exterminate all humans. This is how they would do it.

Serious answer? Depends upon what you are looking for. If the first seacan you open is stacked full of plastic drums full of ammonium perchlorate, and that is the contraband you are looking for, then one and done. But what if the contraband is packed in ones and twos in the very back of each seacan? To do a thorough search, you really have to dock the ship, offload all the containers, and empty out each one.

Neither sect actually practices Judaism though, since they can't sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem and we think sacrifices are over with--which by the way by writings within Judaism they saw for themselves for ~40 years before the destruction of the temple. It really seemed--even to them--like the Lord was not taking any more sacrifices.

Road rage incident where a smug Karen blocked her vehicle and taunted her. So being quite a Sheila, the young woman started driving with the Karen holding onto the bonnet. The smug look on Karen's face quickly changed to terror as the lady refused to stop. Eventually the Karen slid off and into the roadway.
And the judge slapped the victim with a sentence.

For the most part Jews and Christians agree on the Old Testament and don't really disagree much about the teachings of the New Testament that directly come from Judaism.
What they disagree about is the divinity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Jews agree that a Messiah can exist, they just disagree that Jesus was the one and still expect one to come in the future.
Essentially whether Christianity is a heresy of Judaism turns on a matter of identity and nature of Jesus. Rabbi or Christ?
Posted by: whig at April 21, 2026 01:02 PM (E4rtv)
Which is why I don't think enmity between Christians and Jews is "silly." Maybe it's counterproductive. Maybe it needs to be moderated. But if you can't get fired up about whether Jesus was the messiah or not, then what's the point of bothering with any of this? After Jesus, hostility between the two over this is fairly well documented. "Silly" is ahistorical.

When I was a wee tad, my Mom brought home a mallard duckling one day.
Someone had run over the mother duck and the ducklings were scattered alll about the road, so people were stopping to take the ducklings off the road and bring them home to raise.
We had Yankee for a couple of years till she matured enough and I taught her to fly because Dad thought we should bring her back to nature.
We let her go in a lake where there were other mallards near Love Field.
The other ducks were pretty mean at first, but after a while I guess the pecking order was established and she was okay.

Rabbinical Judaism was already in co-existence from the exile in Babylon at the time of Christ. They too could not sacrifice at the Temple nor go to the religious festivals in their homeland.
And that is in part the fight between the Sadducees and Pharisees along with the strain from the internal civil war and fight against the tyrant Antiochus IV just before Jesus.
After Jesus, the civil war reignited several times and was again over the relationship with Rome.

And what did his texts reveal? That he didn't believe that Trump won 2020. Which, despite not watching the rest of Fox that closely, I don't recall any host actually saying.
But they were just offending the left the way they had from the beginning, by letting the wrong people come on and make their case.
He was a bit patronizing, yes. But I saw that he also recognized that there were good people who solidly believed in Trump.
Hey, I wasn't interested in seeing the marginal bow-tie guy from CNN crossfire again, who impressed me no more than Bill Kristol ever did, when I first heard the news. So, I had no high opinion of him.
And the same is true of Trump after watching the first 2-3 seasons of The Apprentice. And the current Trump still does stuff that annoys me as much as that Trump did. So, it's not as if I saw somebody pegging Trump's flaws was "right all along about him" unless we saw no more or no less from him.

Emnity is silly. Judaism is not a proselytizing faith and Christians are a majority. Either Christ was or what not who he said he was. Jews say no, Christian say yes but in effect, the differences between the faith's teachings are akin to Unitarian doubts about the divinity, Arianism in its modern forms like Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.
The debates about Jesus are metaphysical more than they are about daily living which explicitly comes from a Jewish template.

That doesn't mean the sacrifices at the Temple weren't key. As if "the worship experience" was a main key. No, the Day of Atonement covered all Hebrews in Judea or abroad (I should think).

It was, but it never touted its authority as a "Secret Second Torah that must never be written down." It taught from the "Law and the Prophets" the principles of obeying God's Law.
But the temple was eminent and so were the Sadducees for that reason. Christians, solely, keep alive the centrality of the sacrifice by the centrality of Jesus' atoning sacrifice which was all that temple sacrifice was meant to point to.

Harlan Ellison wrote one in the 60s. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Supercomputer kills everyone when it gets sentient, but finds out it needs Humans to torture when there are only a few left. One of the humans manages to find a way to kill all the others so the computer only has him left.
So one problem with the 'AI needs us' scenario is it might not realize it before it screws up bigly.

The Morning Rant
Oil development off Santa Barbara County’s Gaviota Coast has long turned on fine legal margins — interstate versus intrastate, State Fire Marshal versus the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, court orders versus claims of immunity. On Friday morning, in the Santa Barbara courtroom of Judge Donna Geck, one of those margins snapped into focus. Geck refused to lift the injunction blocking Sable Offshore Corp. from restarting its pipeline system — even as oil continues to flow. That alone might sound like just procedural sparring, but this time, the ruling did something new: It rejected, for the first time, Sable’s argument that a federal order issued under the Defense Production Act allows it to sidestep state law and the court’s prior orders. “This is the first time a court has recognized that the Defense Production Act order does not relieve Sable of its requirements under state law,” said Talia Nimmer, staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD).
Even this article in the local rabid-leftist Santa Barbara newspaper exposes the contradictions in the attempt to supersede federal law with state regulation. Luckily the company is seemingly telling the judge to pound sand and continues to pump oil. You know, for national defense requirements that are self evident to anyone with a pulse and a passing familiarity with current events. But the arrogance of a low-level functionary in the California court system is breathtaking. This wasn't a holding that pushed it up the ladder to courts that might actually have some sane legal perspective (although it's CA so probably not). No, this was a demand to stop, on pain of penalty. There is no sense that the federal government might actually have standing, or that the administration's use of the Defense Production Act might be of national import. No...this was simply the amazing self-centeredness of a rabid environmentalist with a soupçon of Trump Derangement Syndrome, all topped with a California leftist's hatred of all things military. So OF COURSE this hack in black was going to try to stop the oil from flowing. She got her 15 minutes, and when she next goes to her favorite vegan lunch cooperative for a meal, the other patrons will stand and clap, and she will bask in their adulation! Never mind that America probably needs that oil to flow for national security reasons that are far more important than the remote possibility that some tidal snail's habitat gets a bit of oil in it. And yes, that is mockery of the environmentalists and their insanity. America is cleaner now than it has ever been in the industrial age, and using the increasingly hypothetical risk of environmental damage to do real damage to our country is tantamount to supporting Iran and the terror networks that America is trying to destroy.

Her resume is unimpressive -- with a "journalism" degree! -- and she was probably an ambulance chaser before being appointed to the bench.
"Judge Donna D. Geck received a BA degree in Journalism from Marquette University and a Juris Doctorate Degree With Distinction from the University of North Dakota Law School. Judge Geck is a member of the Order of the Coif. Judge Donna Geck was appointed to the bench by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June 2010. Prior to her elevation to the bench, Judge Geck was licensed to practice in four States. Her practice was exclusively civil litigation including jury trials, court trials, arbitrations and mediations."

Actually I was early on to that idea. I have gotten the vibe that I might be the only one here that voted for Trump in 2016 for judge selection alone.
I called it a "better gamble" than that Hillary Clinton is going to select a judge that would not have swayed NFIB v. Sebelius into nightmare territory.
We were one vote away from the Supreme Court arguing that Congress' power to control commerce had lead to Congress' power to compel individual action in the marketplace.
I'm decades on this subject, and a long time scoffer at the ACLU's pretense of defending "everyone's rights". So much of this country was changed not from referendum, but from experts and elites surmising and making arguments and reinterpretations of representative-made laws in the courts.
Heck, the way the courts have commandeered the 14th amendment--as if the explicit power doesn't belong by referendum in Congress, is ample illustration of the damage the least representative branch in government can do.

I think it's because the same cartel judge has refused the removal.
Where Louisiana wanted their $700 million environmental damages against oil companies.
An issue that just went to SCOTUS and lost 8-0--if it implicates national security and is done because the federal government requested, it belongs in federal court.
But it gets worse because the oil company in CA is being hauled into her court again--but in two months--to explain why they shouldn't be held in contempt.
If it was an illegal who raped kids being threatened with deportation, this bitch would jump to attention and bend over to save him.
But here, it's just an American company losing millions so she's dragging her feet to prevent a final ruling so they can appeal and get removal.

Of course they require ID for big recycling dumps. Why? Because it's about the only thing these cocksuckers care about: money. Recyclers from out of state were dropping off tons of bottles, so CT was paying out big money for bottles sold outside the state.
The recyclers were cheating, you see. But no voter would ever cheat! So no need for ID for voting.

Indeed. They could still rule that a state law "conflicted with the 14th amendment right to equal protection", but it would still be up to Congress to take that grant and pass the law that intervenes.

When going to a job interview back in the '70s, your fealty was to making the Corporation or U.S. Constitution successful. It wasn't 'making a difference' as you perceived it to be. It was to make your benefactor with their Charter thrive. That was the Corporation's or Government's attribute that go you hired.
Now Racist 'Human' Resources looks primarily to hire minorities without qualifications to fill necessary jobs/tasks to make their Corporations successful. DEI is the destruction of America's Corporate industry. To throttle down their success to inhibit making America thrive.
