As they say in Nepal, "Girl who churns yak butter all day long has Hands of Paradise at night."

I haven't been this excited by erotic butter-churning since 2014.

Now that's some quality yak content I think you will agree.

The Week in Woke

Remember when Biden assigned Trump a bunch of fat 5'1" housefraus as his Secret Service "protection" detail during a very heated presidential campaign?

Remember how we all thought, "When Trump wins, I hope he assigns the Bidens the same D-List Dregs"?

Well... Promise Made, Promise Kept.

A U.S. Secret Service agent accidentally shot himself Friday morning while on duty during a security detail for former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport, according to officials and local reports.
The incident unfolded around 8:30 a.m. as agents were assisting with movement through the airport, a heavily trafficked hub at that hour. Authorities said the agent's service weapon discharged while he was handling it, striking him in the leg. The injury was described as non-life-threatening, and the agent was transported to a nearby hospital where he is reported to be in stable condition.
A spokesperson for the United States Secret Service characterized the shooting as a "negligent discharge," indicating the weapon fired unintentionally. Officials emphasized that there was no disruption to the protectee's schedule and that Jill Biden was not present at the time the weapon went off.

Transphobic cops brutalize another out-and-proud transgender "woman."

From last week, but the Hamsters failed me:

Trans woman dressed up like Blues Brothers allegedly murdered millionaire developer in LA

A transgender woman dressed up like a Blues Brother allegedly murdered a millionaire developer in his Los Angeles home before having an hours-long standoff with a SWAT team, authorities said.
Eleanor Beaulieu, 39, was charged Sunday in the killing of Demetrius Doukoullos and is being housed in Los Angeles County's Men's Central Jail, according to inmate records.
Cops responded to check on Doukoullos, 92, at his Hermosa Beach home around 12:30 p.m. Saturday after his realtor hadn't heard from him for about a week, police said.
"It began as a routine welfare check and escalated to a suspected homicide," Hermosa Beach Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Keagan Dadigan said on Monday.

Neighbors reported a foul odor coming from the home and sightings of a suspicious person, according to Easy Reader News.

Suspicious person?

SUSPICIOUS PERSON?!

What was so "suspicious"? Her COURAGE?! Her TRANS JOY?!!

...
When police arrived, Beaulieu told them he was armed, Dadigan said, leading to a tense seven-hour standoff.
"That subject made statements about being armed and dangerous and then barricaded themselves inside the residence," authorities said, KTLA5 reported.

Why are you bigots so prejudiced against transgender murderers with guns?

Eventually, an officer warned Beaulieu through a bullhorn that they would force their way in.
"Eleanor, come out with your hands up. This has been going on long enough," the officer yelled repeatedly, the Daily Mail reported.
Law enforcement sources told NBC4 that Doukoullos' body was partially decomposed with signs of trauma.

...
Beaulieu has been charged with homicide. His bail has been set to $2 million.

The New York Post had previously Respecced the Pronouns but it admirably calls this Trans Hero of Bravery "he" and "him" throughout the account.

Why do Utah politicians need to be told to honor the detainer of a Mexican illegal alien who slit a woman's throat?!

Federal authorities have confirmed that a suspect charged with attempted murder for slashing a woman's throat and leaving her to die in Utah is an illegal alien from Mexico.
...
Ramirez-Padilla reportedly told authorities he and the woman smoked meth together and admitted he "had been having thoughts of killing someone, and today, he decided that he was going to kill (the woman)."
"Jesus said he strangled (the woman) from behind while they were both standing until (she) became unconscious and fell to the ground. Once on the ground, Jesus placed his hands around (her) neck and continued (choking her)."
"Jesus said he wanted to take (the woman) out of her misery and then used a blade to cut her throat two or three times. Jesus told detectives he intended to kill (the woman). Jesus told detectives his state of mind was altered from ingesting drugs," an arrest affidavit stated.
...
In a statement provided exclusively to Border Hawk, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that Ramirez-Padilla is an illegal alien from Mexico who entered the U.S. at an unknown location and date.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against Ramirez-Padilla and is urging local authorities to not release him back into the community.
"Jesus Alejandro Ramirez-Padilla is a dangerous criminal illegal alien who violently strangled and slit a woman's throat multiple times," said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
"We are calling on politicians to not release this barbaric criminal from jail and into American neighborhoods. This criminal illegal alien has no place in American communities."

The Atlantic cries: Why aren't campus radicals occupying buildings, living illegally in tent cities, and bullying Jews like in the good old days of 2023-2024?

You know who the authoress blames?

That's right, Frank Stallone.

No but really she blames Trump.

Where Are All the Campus Protests?
Two years ago, students occupied buildings and colonized the quad. Now the same places are strangely silent.
The events of the past three months seem almost perfectly engineered to spark campus unrest. In January, mass-deportation operations led to the brazen killing of U.S. citizens at the hands of masked immigration agents. In February, the Environmental Protection Agency declared that it would no longer regulate greenhouse-gas emissions. A few weeks later, the Trump administration joined forces with Israel to launch an attack on Iran without congressional approval. One might expect left-leaning college students to have practically started a revolution.
But campuses across the country--places where, just two years ago, students occupied buildings and colonized the quad to protest Israel's war against Hamas--are strangely silent. These days, those same students mostly head to class. The extent of the change is jarring. David Sengthay, a Stanford senior and the head of the undergraduate-student senate, told me that protests typified the university's history, up to and including his first two years in Palo Alto. But by the time he returned as a junior, in fall 2024, something was different. "My class is the last class to really witness what happened at Stanford during its peak organizing," he said. "People come to Stanford, these young students, and they don't have access to what was promised to them. I know we're not UC Berkeley, but, I mean, we still protested the Vietnam War."
This might seem like an abrupt and mysterious reversal in campus culture. In fact, it's a sign that student protest was never a fact of nature, but rather an administrative choice. Universities chose to let campus demonstrations get out of control; now they're choosing to suppress them. This is why, even as legal challenges have blocked the Trump administration from enacting much of its higher-education agenda, the president has clearly achieved his aim of ending the protest movement. He has been able to do so largely because university leaders, tired of the chaos they had allowed to thrive, were quietly on board.
...
But the protests soon spun out of control... That winter and spring, elite-university presidents were hauled in front of Congress to testify about protesters' conduct and their response to instances of anti-Semitism at the demonstrations. The presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Columbia, and Northwestern subsequently resigned, unable to justify their decisions either to Congress or to their own outraged board members and donors.

The hearings marked a turning point. Universities began taking more aggressive action against protesters. According to Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, the sector's largest trade group, the angry backlash from Congress gave some administrators political cover to do what they privately had already wanted to do....

Once Donald Trump assumed office, shutting down disruptive protests took on even more urgency. Almost immediately, the president signed executive orders promising to investigate and discipline protesters for anti-Semitism. Universities began taking action against their own students before Trump could do so. At Yale, about 200 students began forming an encampment to protest Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir speaking at an event near campus. Administrators told students to disperse, disciplined repeat offenders, and ended Yale's association with a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. At Columbia, when students occupied a library room ahead of finals week, the university immediately called in the police. "Colleges are doing what they can to try to stay out of the spotlight," Robert Kelchen, a professor of education policy at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, told me. At the same time, some academics think that the students themselves are different: Whether because of concerns about the worsening job market or a cultural shift rightward, they seem less interested in raising hell on campus.

What's clear is that the cost of doing so has gone up. Last March, the Trump administration detained and attempted to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate student who had led many of the anti-Israel protests. Later that month, federal agents detained Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University graduate student who had written an opinion piece supporting Palestine. Other students had their active immigration status revoked for activism around Palestine

...
"Students don't even know: Am I waiting to get in trouble by the dean, or am I waiting to get in trouble by, like, DHS?" Amanda Nordstrom, who leads the Campus Rights Advocacy department for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, told me.
...
Sengthay said that he and other Stanford students had envisioned college as a "playground for free speech and democracy" before the greater responsibilities and pressures of adult life. They've since discovered that the rules of the game have changed.

O what dark delights this reporter is showing me!

Via Beege Wellborn, aggressive colonizers demand that the UK "decolonize" Shakespeare's home because it's White Supremacy that the greatest writer of the all-white-until-thirty-years-ago British Isles was white.

And the UK is, of course, complying with their conquerors' demands.

[Daily Mail:] William Shakespeare's birthplace will be de-colonised over fears that portraying his success as the 'greatest' playwright 'benefits the ideology of white European supremacy'.
...It wants to 'create a more inclusive museum experience' and announced it will move away from Western perspectives after concerns were raised that Shakespeare's ideas were used to advance 'white supremacy' ideas.
The trust also said that some of its items could contain language or depictions that are racist, sexist, or homophobic.
It comes amid an ongoing backlash against the writer. Some productions of his works have been slapped with trigger warnings for misogyny, racism and 'problematic radicalised dynamics' that link whiteness to beauty.

The more I read this, the more I realize how it is utterly illiterate.

How exactly do you decolonize someone�s birthplace? He lived there. No one came in and conquered his house. It�s just a house of a man that exists.

These people are exhausting

A transgender lawyer -- woman jacked up on male hormones -- keeps interrupting a judge and is repeatedly told to stop interrupting or else she'll be held in contempt. But those superphysiological levels of testosterone give her roid rage. She plays the "I'm a transgender lawyer" card and claims that the judge is a transphobe.

Eventually the judge calls for her to be arrested and, of course, the steroid-addled woman resists arrest.

Oh, and then she goes through the entire BLM/antifa/transgender playbook, saying "Do not hurt me," "I can't breathe," "I can't see," "Call 911," and "call a female police officer." Oh -- right. See, when this "man" is arrested by male officers, suddenly she's a woman again and demands a female police officer.

Unhinged transgender attorney, a woman pretending to be a man, was arrested for contempt of court after she continuously screamed at the judge

She then yelled, "I can't breathe," while getting tossed to the ground, and demanded a female officer.

The trans lunatics are all moaning that this roided-up testosterone jockey was arrested for "daring to exist" in a trans body.

Remember when we used to think that lawyers are smart?

Well, maybe only some of us did. But it was a widely-believed myth.

In a high-profile murder appeal before the Georgia Supreme Court, the "lawyer" -- an Assistant DA, and I imagine a DEI hire -- used ChatGTP to do her "research," and the AI invented a bunch of fake cases which she cited in her motion without even bothering to look them up to see if they even existed.

The judge did check to see if they existed:

So before you sit down, there's one more thing I need to ask you about, unfortunately. In reviewing the trial court's order denying the motion for new trial, there are at least five citations to cases that don't exist. And there's at least five more citations to cases that do not support the proposition for which they're cited, including three quotations that don't exist. My understanding is that you prepared the order for new trial -- uh, the denial order -- for the trial court. Were those citations in the version of the order that you submitted to the trial court?

The judge asked if the fake cases were used in the state's brief to deny the woman a new trial. At first, Clayton County Assistant District Attorney Chantel Leslie said, "No, your honor, I do not believe so." But the judge fixed her with a dead stare and intoned, "So those those non-existent cases were cited in your initial brief opposing the motion for new trial."
She replied, "Your honor, I'm not aware of that, but I would be glad to research that and provide the court with a supplement."
That's OK, dipstick lady prosecutor, the wonderful legal site, The Volokh Conspiracy, did your job for you. The website found that, yes, both the initial and revised orders cited the bogus cases.

"DEI is a cancer upon the body politic, but not overly so." -- Stuff Jefferson Said, volume 4, revised and expanded edition

Another Karen, who is also skilled in the Art of Defeating the Male Gaze, blatantly lies to judge as the judge tells her she's obviously lying.

The spring breaker who "twerked" while atop a speeding Jeep, and who was then thrown from the vehicle, has died of his injuries.

A 22-year-old spring breaker who was caught on viral video half-naked and twerking on top of a speeding SUV has died after he was flung from the Jeep in a drunken crash.
...
The deadly spring break saga unfolded March 14 when a shirtless Brown was filmed dancing suggestively on the Jeep's roof as it sped down Highway 361, cops said.
Brown was thrown from the vehicle when the alleged drunk driver of the SUV, Riley Rhoades, smashed into a Tesla during the chaotic joyride.
Separate footage taken by horrified witnesses in the aftermath showed first responders treating Brown in the middle of the highway as the driver and fellow passengers -- all clad in swimsuits -- watched.
...
The Jeep's driver was arrested for DWI at the scene after failing a breathalyzer test, police said.

Video here. It shows this idiot twerking, but not the part where he's thrown from the vehicle, though the clip does end with post-incident video of people standing around looking at his body. There is, supposedly, blurry video from the camera in the Tesla showing his body flipping end over end towards the road, but I won't link that.

Apparently twerking while hanging outside speeding vehicle is a trend for the young and deeply brain-damaged. I'll just link this clip, as it results in some good Justice for the Stupid, but completely non-lethal Justice for the Stupid.

41 "It wants to 'create a more inclusive museum experience' and announced it will move away from Western perspectives after concerns were raised that Shakespeare's ideas were used to advance 'white supremacy' ideas."

What happens if we find (have found) that those "Western Perspectives" actually were/are better, or The Best (Supreme)?

Then the inferior third world tribalists will unite and kill the "better culture" (just like the "Native Americans" did), just to protect their (demonic anti-individual) tribe.

Sounds impressive, 19 billion Euros doesn't it? Except the German government has cut out 14 billion Euros from the train budget. So, the real increase is ONLY 5 billion Euros.

The question must be asked, where will that 14 billion be spent?

The term is very specific - an 'accidental' discharge is an unintentional discharge that was not caused by user actions.

A 'negligent' discharge is an unintentional discharge that *is caused* by user actions.

Typically by someone fiddle-fucking with their gun when they shouldn't be.

153 Home Ownership

So I purchased new low profile ceiling fans with remotes for the lights and fans because I previously asked an electrician what it would cost to replace all my single switches with separate switches for the fans and lights and he quoted me 30K - 40K $$.

I'm in my bedroom securing the newer lighter fan when I notice that the electrical box it fastens to is wiggling. I can push the electrical box up and into the attic. The box is fastened to a 2x4 board or something. But that board isn't attached to anything! Just freely sitting on top of the ceiling drywall. And these new fans are monolithic plastic parts, no way to balance. So the thing when assembled up there just goes wobble wobble CLANK CLANK CLANK.

So I am going to have to venture up into the attic and the only access is by ladder through a narrow ceiling portal. I've never been up there. It could be a happy magical place where my every wish comes true. It could be a realm of everlasting torture and pain where my every nightmare comes true. I simply don't know.

But it will have to wait until tomorrow and I no longer have a working fan in my bedroom and without a constant pleasant breeze at night I may die.

(Loudmouth) Philip Glover, National President of the American Federal of Government Employees, District 3 (DE & PA) and a former law enforcement officer, called for ICE agents to leave the Philadelphia Airport during a rally outside of Philadelphia's City Hall on Thursday morning.

"I think everybody can tell, I'm a former law enforcement officer. You don't wear masks. You don't go without warrants and you don't...tackle people out of cars and break their windows and rip them out of cars. That's not what law enforcement is supposed to do," he said. "So maybe take them for some retraining on that and get them out of our airport. And get TSA paid today."

Audio & video available.

Context is mine. I add: You also don't become a fulltime union "official" when you're doing well in your own Federal job.

And everyone in the executive branch of civil service knows that's a fact.

In Case You Missed It: Intercepts of Foreign Parties Revealed Ukraine's Plot to Take US Taxpayer Dollars Given To Them By Biden to Illegally Contribute to Biden's Reelection Effort

I posted this briefly yesterday before I realized CBD had just posted about the same topic.

Before that:

BREAKING: DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin has just BEGUN the process of paying some 50,000 THOUSAND TSA agents at President Trump's orders
Pay is set to hit as early as Monday
Posted by: JackStraw at March 27, 2026

The basic story has been reported, and some of this has been hinted at in TV interviews, but this report by Jonathan Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy formalizes those hints and advances the story.

U.S. intercepted Ukraine government messages discussing plot to route money to Biden re-election
Newly-unclassified documents show that in 2022 Ukrainian officials discussed diverting hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars -- earmarked for clean energy -- back to Biden's ill-fated 2024 campaign. There is no evidence the intercepted allegations were investigated during the Biden administration.

There's also no evidence that the formally crazy-about-foreign-interference propaganda media has reported any of this.

It's almost as if they actively support foreign election interference, so long as it benefits their precious Communist "Democrat" Party.

U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden's 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI.
Gabbard's team has not found substantive evidence the intercepted allegations were thoroughly investigated during the Biden administration, and the communications are not believed to be tied to Russian disinformation efforts, officials said.
The declassified report is a summary of raw intercepts from U.S. spy agencies in late 2022 concerning the alleged plot, and officials who have reviewed the files said there seemed to be a lack of curiosity to investigate such an explosive allegation of foreign interference in a U.S. election.

It actually gets worse in the next paragraph: US government personnel were personally involved in the conspiracy.

"The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden's reelection campaign," the declassified summary of the intercepts stated.
"They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose," the report added.
The intercepts mentioned two American subcontractors as possible recipients of the money that would eventually be moved to Democratic coffers, officials said. The names are included in still classified raw spy data but were redacted from the declassified report obtained by Just the News.
"The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track," the declassified summary stated. "Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden's election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from."

Per the Sheriff, it wasn't alcohol. His BAC was 0.00. But he refused a urinalysis test. Gotta be painkillers. I watched him a little the other day in one of those indoor league matches and his face looked super puffy and his eyes were bloodshot. Glad no one was hurt.

100 billion will be spent on Green initiatives.

Germany's trains are supposed to get 19 billion out of the 40 billion allocated for this year.

Sounds impressive, 19 billion Euros doesn't it? Except the German government has cut out 14 billion Euros from the train budget. So, the real increase is ONLY 5 billion Euros.

When the Federalist party died out early in the 19th century an opposing party was needed, but it was more a "Not a Democrat" party than a real political party. This especially became true as sectional issues and anti slavery grew, as Northern Whigs were anti Democrat on slavery and Southern Whigs were anti Democrat because they were too soft on defending slavery. This split made it harder to keep going and it died out in the early 1850s and the Republicans soon formed around its fragments in the north.

No, I think it means that tax money for "clean energy" was sent to a USAID group that would divert it to Ukraine, who would send most of it back as contributions to Biden's campaign. Of course plenty of money stuck to all involved along the way

House Rejects Senate Deal
Plus: JD Vance Affirms That Ilhan "Omar" Committed Immigration Fraud, Vows to Pursue Her Legally

So. Now that the Senate Republicans made a deal without bothering to clear it with their counterparts in the House, the House Republicans have rejected it, and now begins the "It's a Republican shut-down, they're enabling terrorism" op.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., says House Republicans will not accept a Senate-passed bill to fund the majority of the Department of Homeland Security, minus ICE and border patrol.
The Senate bill does not include additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol -- and it does not include any of the demands Democrats made to limit the tactics of federal immigration officers. Republicans in the House met Friday after the legislation passed and rejected the plan.
"This gambit that was done last night is a joke," Johnson told reporters at the Capitol.
Johnson said the House will vote instead on a stop-gap spending bill to fund the entire Department of Homeland Security until May 22.
"I spoke to the president a few moments ago, he understands exactly what we're doing and why. And he supports it," Johnson said.
Johnson said he expects Republicans will pass the bill in the House, leaving the Senate to take up the measure. However, is very unclear if the stop-gap could pass in the Senate. Senators have already left Washington and Democrats have refused to vote for any spending bill that funds ICE.
Johnson also referred to Trump's promise to pay TSA agents through executive action as a near-term way to alleviate backups at airports across the country. Trump signed a memo Friday, to do so.

Is he right to reject it?

Mask off moment.
Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess.
Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media.
JOHNSON: "This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE."
"I'm quite convinced that it can't be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I'm going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it's pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know."
"In section four...this is on page two of the bill...."
"It says, 'The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.'"
"We're not doing that."

I don't know if that means the additional funding that had previously been in the bill is reduced to zero, or if it means all the funding these agencies currently have is reduced to zero. I suspect it means the former, not the latter. That is, it stops the new funding, which I don't like but which we already knew, not the already-in-place funding.

But I'd like clarification.

In more fulfilling news: As you know, Vance was appointed by Trump to be the country's fraud investigation tsar. The left scoffed at this claiming it was a fake appointment because, you see, there is no widespread welfare and medicaid fraud in America, and so this was a time-wasting assignment designed to humble and punish Vance.

In reality, of course, it's just about the greatest prize a Republican politician should want.

He will use his position, he says, to investigate Ilhan "Omar," proclaiming she "definitely committed immigration fraud."

This is regarding her fake-marrying her gay brother to give him a fraudulent immigration status in the US, not about she herself being added to another person's family to commit immigration fraud. (That is, she came in pretending to be a member of a family which had an immigration approval.)

Vice President JD Vance said Friday that Rep. Ilhan Omar defrauded the US by allegedly marrying her brother to help him remain legally in the country.

"We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America," Vance told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on the latest episode of his show.
Vance added that he's been discussing legal remedies with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, explaining that questions have been raised: "How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually build the case to actually get some justice for the American people?"

The vice president claimed the Minnesota Democrat "has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somalian community" -- and that was also something that should be under investigation.

So I got to take time out to deal with that, and thank goodness it was mild steel. It was nearly as bad as when I "found" a tomato cage with a tiller deck on a Kubota tractor.

In our ED in FL a 60yr old man coded from this and another heart med during some activity with his wife at home.

It was sad and my job was to be there when the doc told her he could not help him.

However, prior to us going to see her he had to rattle my cage a bit as we stood there and looked at the man (she was in another room).

He did this on purpose, as all of them liked to do to me now and then, as I was very professional and a lady and basically unfazed by them most of the time.

He and I were standing there and he said, "Well, it's not a bad way to go if you think about it." And expected me to then go with him to this lady somber and controlled. He knew I'd have to laugh first and get it over with, but not in the poor man's room.

So I snort laughed instead and had tears of suppressed laughter. He was very pleased.

Wicked MD, and very handsome Italian/American. I told him I'd get him back when it was over.

Appeals Court Overrules Activist Leftwing Minnesota Judges, Declares That Illegal Aliens Can Be Held Indefinitely Without Bond While Waiting for Their Deportation

This is important because if you want to deport someone -- put them on a plane -- you need to have physical custody of their bodies, and activist judges keep ruling that after ICE captures an illegal alien, he must be allowed to go free. He'll just show up for his actual deportation, right?

No, of course not. He will disappear "into the shadows," as Jeb Bush might say.

But that's what these activist, lawless Democrat judges want -- a soft judicial repeal of the power to deport. They can't just say "we're overruling Congress" -- Congress has the power to make laws about immigration and naturalization, of course -- so instead they just spam out fake requirement after fake requirement to make it effectively impossible to deport anyone.

In short -- they want to codify Biden's lawless executive decision to open the borders and guarantee all comers a permanent residency in America into "law" without having to go through the bother of actually changing the law.

The Eighth Circuit is the second appeals court to tell lowly court judges they do not have the power to overrule both Congress and the President.

Appeals court lets Trump administration hold many immigration detainees without bond
A panel of appeals court judges handed the Trump administration a major legal victory on Wednesday in its quest to detain large swaths of immigrants living in the country illegally, saying that people who entered the United States without inspection and admission can be detained without bond.
The 2-1 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit marks the second time that a federal appellate court has sided with the administration on the issue, even as hundreds of lower court judges across the country have taken the opposite view. The conservative Fifth Circuit issued a similar ruling earlier this year.
Wednesday's ruling could impact more than 1,000 immigration detention cases in Minnesota alone, according to a source in the U.S. Attorney's office in that state. The Eighth Circuit also oversees six other states stretching from North Dakota to Arkansas.
The case involved a man named Joaquin Herrera Avila, a citizen of Mexico who was apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security in Minneapolis last August. DHS detained him without bond and brought removal proceedings against him.
His lawyers filed a petition of habeas corpus seeking his release, and the U.S. District Court in Minnesota granted the request. Wednesday's decision reversed the lower court's ruling.
The majority opinion was drafted by Judge Bobby Shepherd, a George W. Bush appointee, and joined by Judge L. Steven Grasz, a Trump appointee. Judge Ralph R. Erickson, who was appointed during President Trump's first term, dissented.
"Except for a single DUI, for nearly 20 years, Joaquin Herrera Avila had been living a law-abiding life in the United States," Erickson wrote. "For the past 29 years, Avila would have been entitled to a bond hearing during his removal proceedings. The court now holds that Avila--and millions of others--are subject to mandatory detention."
...
But the Trump administration has argued that anyone who entered the U.S. illegally is subject to mandatory deportation, unless immigration authorities grant them parole on humanitarian or public interest grounds.
Last fall, a Justice Department-run immigration court made a sweeping determination that the government could essentially detain a large swath of immigrants indefinitely while their removal proceedings are pending.
Since then, federal courts across the United States have been crushed by a tidal wave of cases filed by immigrants challenging their detention. In most cases, U.S. District Courts have sided with the immigrants and ruled against the government. According to a tally from Politico, more than 400 judges have ruled against the government in more than 5,000 cases.

And that's not all. The Supreme Court appears inclined to side with the Administration on the government's right to turn away "asylum" seekers at the border.

The majority of Supreme Court justices appeared to be sympathetic to the idea that the Trump administration should be able to turn away asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border. If the court rules in favor of the administration, the government will be able to revive a policy used during Trump's first term, where those seeking asylum were stopped at the border from setting foot in the US.
Federal law dictates that those who arrive in the US and are "physically present in the United States" or "arrive in the United States" can apply for asylum. The issue is whether noncitizens merely have to show up to the border to request asylum or if they have to cross the border fully before applying.
The majority of justices appeared to be sympathetic to the Trump administration in the case, per the New York Times. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested that "arrives in" means that someone has fully crossed the border.
"'Arriving" sounds more 'in the process of.' 'Arrives in' sounds more like 'you've reached your destination,'" Justice Barrett said in the hearing. "If it's not crossing the physical border, what is the magic thing?" Former President Barak Obama implemented the policy where some seeking asylum would be turned around at the border, which was expanded by Trump. However, that policy was rescinded under the Biden administration.
Biden rejected Trump's border security measures and allowed tens of millions of illegal immigrants to cross into the United States, be paroled, and wait for immigration hearings that were often scheduled five or more years down the road. At one point during his term in office, Biden dismissed a bunch of immigration cases, leaving migrants in a legal limbo with neither legal status nor deporation orders.
The Trump administration has urged the justices to allow the policy to be reinstated. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh suggested that the debate about where a migrant is at when they request asylum is "very artificial." Two of the liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, had tougher questions for the administration in the case. They were the only justices who appeared sympathetic to allowing the full embrace of asylum claims at the border.

Look, we don't give thanks enough. Trump has had some bumps and oopsies this term, but he's been great 96% of the time. 96% will get you an A anywhere. An A+, really, with the curve.

Speaking of Minnesota.....this ruling and the JD Vance led fraud project is going to have an interesting result. The Somalis of Minneapolis are going to do the big Exodus to more fertile grounds. It will be interesting to see where that is. I'm going to guess San Diego area, which already has about 15k Somalis on the books. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a cocentration of uncovering fraud in California as well. Right now they are concentrating on the false Hospice entities. But, it will expand, and the GOP leading Governor candidate is making that a staple of his campaign.

So, maybe a state that isn't getting much attention, but is firmly Blue and ripe for fraud. Either way, I predict a mass emigration of Somalis out of Minnesota in short order.

True, but I don't think that's the real reason the leftist swine vehemently opposed detention without bond.

The real reason was because illegals staring at months if not years in what is effectively prison will be much more likely to sign waivers and go back home voluntarily.

Big win.

I can't find anything saying that the Federalist Society recommended Erickson.

He was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota by W in 2003, and then appointed to the Eighth Circuit by Trump in 2017.

Seems like he's just a respected judge from North Dakota who get his turn when a space on the Eighth opened up.

60 Confess have not reviewed the actual asylum law (silly, actually considering the law itself in, well, considering a law), but the entire history of the thing was turned on its head in recent years. Started under Obama, though, inexplicably, there was some push-back (as noted in the post).

Those of a certain age will recall asylum as it was originally intended and implemented.

Individuals, persecuted for their beliefs, given sanctuary. Often at a US Embassy, to start, later to be negotiated out in some sort of swap. This was the Cold War norm, usually with Soviet bloc countries, and it was exactly why the law was enacted.

Literally millions of random people showing up at the border, obviously economic migrants (= zero basis for admission or status under the actual law), just ushered in, and the "asylum" process and meaning completely thrown out. Odd, but one of the most infuriating and depressing things (of the non-stop tsunami of such) in recent years. Probably because those who know recognize what a perversion of a very noble American policy it all is.

Nothing Trump has done has been particularly radical or even really innovative.

He's just doing the things politicians have been saying they would do since the end of the cold war.

One way to look at it is that every right leaning pol should be working the same way but honestly Trump hasn't been even particularly rightwing - you can find speeches by Clinton, Sanders, Schumer, and others about the problems illegals cause and the need for vote security.

So, imagine if every elected pol, left or right, put America first? Hell, remember when given a choice between even their supposed holy grail of nationalized healthcare or illegals the modern left has consistently choosen illegals.

92 Nation is the guy's name? Bizarre story -
------------------------------
An ex-security staffer for President Joe Biden who posed for pics with former VP Kamala Harris in front of a presidential jet was arrested for a chilling murder in San Francisco.

Nation Wood, 25, was arrested Wednesday, just 24 hours after he allegedly shot and killed Samantha Emge, 22, a 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, at a home in San Francisco’s Sunset District.

Wood identified himself as a part-time security staffer for Biden’s White House Secret Service team starting in November 2023 on his LinkedIn profile.

He worked at the White House through July 2025, finishing out his term under President Donald Trump, according to his LinkedIn page that lists him as an “independent pre-event site security advisor.”

144 Joaquin Herrera Avila entered the US illegally in 2006. He did so again in 2016. It's easy to see such acts as illegal in their own right, because they are. But, attached to each of these illegal entries are, also, other violations of the law. No VISA, no passport, no border crossing card, no permit. So, international travel without a passport in another violation of the law.

No DUI is necessary for a removal of a non-authorized party. It should be that simple. I'm curious whether those individuals who go through the legal process of immigration have the ability to file civil litigation against anyone entering illegally, and being allowed to stay....based on a violation of the Equal Protection Laws.

177 The blue slip policy is not a time honored tradition in the US Senate. It came about due to the Southern Dem senators wanting to block desegregation judges and prosecutors in the South. It is not in the Senate's formal rules but rather is a Judiciary Cmte rule that has wavered back and forth over time depending on who was Judiciary Chair.

And formally, senatorial courtesy was NOT a veto by senators of a presidential pick but rather that they be consulted before the pick went before the Judiciary Committee so that they could develop questions, etc. for the nominee. Even less so for federal prosecutors. But, the segregation era warped the Senate by setting up the ridiculous filibuster rules, the blue slip policy, and a number of other methods to essentially protect senators from having to walk the plank by voting unlike their House counterparts.

As a result, the Senate has rotted. The House has become something that Joe Cannon would like or Thomas Reed but it at least votes and this last term went back to regular procedure except for the Homeland Security bill. I blame the GOP in the Senate for that debacle.

179 I read the decision. There is more in it.

The original decision was one of those parsed meaning things.

Cutting through, the argument by the illegal immigrant was that because he was not 'seeking' to be here legally, he was not covered by one provision but was instead protected by another and so had to be given a bond hearing and released.

Think about that.

He enters illegally.

He stays illegally for 20 years.

When caught, he does not apply for asylum to stay legally.

And because of that he must be given a legal protection and process so he can continue to stay here legally.

The act of crossing the border? Not 'seeking' to be in the country.

The act of petitioning the court to be released? Not 'seeking' to be in the country.

That is the language the lower court parsed to release him and the appeals court rejected 2-1, saying 'seeking' do not solely apply to filing paperwork, but includes any act pertaining to entry and remaining in the country.

The lower court insisted you have to release someone on bond to explicitly continue an illegal act (remaining in the country without asylum or other legal status).

That is what is in that decision.

180 Yeah, that's just it. Trump is very good at engaging in the fight and fighting to win. So much of our immigration "law" was just vague policies, understandings, and lower courts asserting bullshit that was unconstitutional. He actually decided to challenge it all from soup to nuts - create the case, then litigate it to WIN.

And he is winning, because 90% of this stuff was just invented by policy wonks and lower court mischief.

Jonathan Turley: Florida Grand Jury May Finally Reveal the Truth of the RussiaGate Criminal Conspiracy -- and Maybe the Consequences, Too

The Pine-Scented Druid Philosopher James Comey has been subpoenaed.

I don't know if any of this will result in anything, but my stars, I need some hope.

This week, we learned that the probe into the Russian conspiracy theory in Florida is moving forward with the disclosure that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed. What is different in this probe is that it is pursuing the real Russia conspiracy -- the creation of a false narrative to kneecap the first Trump administration.
At issue is what could be the greatest political hit job in history. Of course, the growing evidence of this conspiracy continues to be buried by one of its key components: the media. Nevertheless, the "truth will out," and it appears to be coming out in Florida.
Headed by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, the investigation is building on information uncovered by House and Senate committees that was long buried by the Biden administration. That evidence appears to show a knowing effort to manufacture a Russian conspiracy hoax at the urging of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
Ironically, the Washington Post and the New York Times received Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting promoting this Russian conspiracy hoax. The media spent years in wall-to-wall coverage of disproven allegations, including many claims made in the debunked Steele Dossier that had been secretly funded by the Clinton campaign.
The true Pulitzer Prize-worthy story was staring the media in the face the whole time: a conspiracy to create a false conspiracy narrative to elect Clinton and later to derail the Trump administration. The latter effort succeeded with help from top intelligence figures.
...
Shortly before the 2016 presidential election, Peter Strzok, a key figure in the investigation, texted FBI lawyer Lisa Page to assure her "that there's no way [Trump] gets elected," adding that they "can't take that risk." He added that they had it all in hand because "It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40."
In fact, whether it was known to Strzok or not, there was an insurance policy in the works. In July 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Barack Obama on Hillary Clinton's alleged "plan" to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia as "a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."
Brennan is believed to be a target of the current investigation, including possible perjury before Congress.
In reality, within days of that briefing on how Clinton would create this conspiracy theory, the investigation began, just as the Clinton campaign hoped it would.
Early on, the FBI was told by the CIA that its sources -- and the Steele dossier -- were unreliable. However, key FBI officials continued the surveillance and the investigation targeting the Trump campaign and key figures. One official later pleaded guilty to lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to continue surveillance without an evidentiary basis.
At the end of 2016, a CIA assessment found that "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure." That presidential daily brief was scheduled to be published on Dec. 9, 2016, but the office of James Clapper, Obama's Director of National Intelligence, reportedly stopped the publication "based on some new guidance."
Clapper later joined Obama, along with John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and others, in a meeting that would ultimately inject the debunked theory directly into the media.
...
Back in 2016, the rewritten assessment was quickly leaked to an eagerly awaiting media. It was the perfect hit job carried out by top Obama administration officials at the very end of their time in power .
In testimony on May 23, 2017, Brennan claimed that the Steele dossier "wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done."
Yet the declassified material appears to contradict that sworn statement. Brennan allegedly not only discussed the dossier but also insisted upon its inclusion in the new assessment Obama had requested.
Brennan and his handpicked team went to extraordinary lengths to revive the conspiracy theory that they knew was the original objective of the Clinton campaign.
Analysts complained that the reliance on the Steele Dossier "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment." One CIA analyst told investigators that Brennan "refused to remove it, and when confronted with the dossier's main flaws, [Brennan] responded, 'Yes, but doesn't it ring true?'"
...
None of this will get anyone a Pulitzer, because the politics is wrong. However, it might just force the truth into the open. With Democrats promising to resume impeachments and investigations if they retake power in the midterms, it would be useful for the public to have a full understanding of what actually occurred last time.
It is time for the public to learn whether top Obama officials and the media pulled off the greatest political hoax in history

John Brennan may be indicted for perjury. He repeatedly testified under oath that the now-heavily-discredited Steele Dossier formed no part of his fake report implicating Trump in RUSSIAN collusion, but in contemporaneous documents, he says he fought for the inclusion of the fake dossier in the report:

90 Let's remember the great soaring romance of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page as we all group projectile harf across the room.Imagine them plotting, ecstatic in bed of blocking Trump, thinking themselves heroes. Then the defeat and Strzok's ED after the election. A sad tale with a tragic ending. I can't think of this anymore...

Then, picturing the list of corruption at the sekret meeting...my goodness what an ugly array of buffoons! With not a brain cell to share!

As if the image, seared in my retinas, of Clapper's bent ears is not enough; then we bring in Porcine Villian Face Brennan to seal the deal of eternal nausea. He really could be on Batman as a bad man. I despise every islamic cell in his ugly body.

Hang them all.

My best memory of Clapper is on an ABC interview when he had no idea of the attacks in London and was a Dumbo for the world. Spectacular!

99 From Peter St. Onge:

Cracks are spreading in the $1.8 trillion dollar private credit industry. Echoing the 2008 financial crisis but this time gutting the load-bearing walls.

On Tuesday the Financial Times reported Ares Management, which runs $623 billion, limited redemptions in one of their flagship funds.

That’s the asset management equivalent of a bank run -- investors can’t pull their money because it could spark a fire sale that could collapse the whole fund.

For scale, $623 billion would make Ares the 9th largest bank in America -- just ahead of Capital One.

The private credit industry, Harvard and the State are moving heaven and earth to allow regular folks the incredible opportunity to own private credit with their 401(k) money.

When the ICA was originally written it claimed that there was no collusion between Trump and Russia. Before it was published Obama order Brennan, Clapper, Comey and Rogers to rewrite it and claim the opposite and the only thing they had to use was the Steele dossier. That's how it got in there.

They are all lying, treasonous scumbags with the possible exception of Rogers, maybe, but Obama was always behind all of it.

Oh I don't think he masterminded the entire thing but he did at the very least ok if not direct the course of events.

ICE is funded, so I read, til 2/29. ICE scares them a lot.

All will be well. Hold.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGrea

My understanding is that support employees of ICE would still not be funded if ICE is removed from the package.
The actual officers would be paid under the BBB, but computer analysts, missing children cases, etc would continue to not be paid. I heard 4000+ personnel. and, stripping ICE/CBP from Homeland funding is a no go. I think Mike Johnson should stand his ground now.

Documents: Partisan DC Judge Beryl Howell Had Secret Ex Parte Conversations with Fake Special Counsel Jack Smith

In a court, all communications with the judge are supposed to include counsel for both sides. So that both sides may weigh in on proposals and motions.

But Obama appointee and Democrat ringer Beryl Howell had secret ex parte communications with Jack Smith, behind Trump's lawyers' backs.

Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke
You may have heard that anti-Trump Judge Howell had secret communications with Jack Smith, telling him she "liked" and even "loved" an omnibus approach, meaning all executive privilege claims would be decided in one sweep. The full story is even worse.
At a hearing before those communications, Howell told Trump's lawyers she needed to review executive privilege claims on a case by case basis, probably because she wanted to create massive legal costs and keep anti-Trump investigations in the news by dragging them out.
But as soon as Smith was appointed, she saw a chance to deliver the knockout blow and completely flipped, privately telling Smith she wanted to do a swift, all-at-once ruling. Absolutely shocking misconduct, and yet nothing will happen to her.

Hans Mahncke for The Federalist:

Chief Judge Howell Privately Endorsed Jack Smith's Get-Trump Lawfare

Behind closed doors, the judge overseeing Trump's grand jury told prosecutors she 'loved' their legal strategy.
A Department of Justice briefing document released by Sen. Chuck Grassley shows that Jack Smith's special counsel team engaged in private communications with two federal judges overseeing Trump-related investigations: Chief Judge Beryl Howell and her successor, Judge James Boasberg, both Obama appointees on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and both known for their outspoken anti-Trump positions.
The document was prepared for then-Attorney General Merrick Garland on Jan. 13, 2023. It was released by Grassley ahead of this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the FBI's Arctic Frost investigation into the aftermath of the 2020 election. Smith took over the investigation in November 2022, and at that point, his team likely engaged in improper communications with the two judges.
According to the briefing document, Smith's team informed Garland that they had been in touch with Howell and that "She liked our approach of pursuing the executive privilege litigation in an omnibus fashion," meaning the consolidation of various motions into a single filing rather than handling each separately. The notes record that Howell was aware such a motion was coming "and loves the idea." A separate entry referenced a forthcoming meeting with Boasberg scheduled for Saturday, March 18, 2023, the day after he became chief judge, taking over from Howell.
Judges are generally not allowed to privately communicate with one party in a pending case without notifying the other party. However, there are exceptions. In the dispute over President Trump's executive privilege before Howell, the issues arose in the context of grand jury proceedings. As Chief Judge overseeing grand jury administration, she and the DOJ were technically allowed to communicate without Trump's lawyers present on matters strictly related to the grand jury. Such communications could include scheduling witness testimony, addressing procedural questions, or resolving other administrative issues necessary for the grand jury to function.
What they could not do in secret was discuss the substance of pending litigation, offer advice on prosecutorial strategy, signal support for one side's approach, or endorse a plan that would effectively pre-decide disputes between the parties. Expressing enthusiasm for the DOJ's omnibus strategy in executive privilege litigation falls clearly into that forbidden category.

...
This forced Trump's team into a defensive posture, preparing for many separate legal battles. Yet by later secretly endorsing the DOJ's omnibus plan, she green-lit a mechanism to pierce those privileges in bulk, effectively rigging the process in the government's favor.

59 Right to a fair trial is covered in the 5th and 6th Amendments of the Constitution. Arguably, you could say that the due process application of that is violated. Thus, the Judge violated the US Constitution.

Big deal, right? Well, that could conceivably open the door to remove sovereign immunity from the Judge and allow a civil suit for violation of Constitutional Rights. And, Trump isn't shy about civil suits.

For a fun one, dig up a copy of Silverlock by John Myers Myers. Loosely, I do mean loosely modeled on John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Myers has his protagonist stranded by a shipwreck in a world full of characters and references from classic literature.

Reads like a more modern version of Don Quixote where one thing happens after another but the fun is recognizing the places, characters, and events that the protagonist ends up in the midst of.

208 59 Right to a fair trial is covered in the 5th and 6th Amendments of the Constitution. Arguably, you could say that the due process application of that is violated. Thus, the Judge violated the US Constitution.

Big deal, right? Well, that could conceivably open the door to remove sovereign immunity from the Judge and allow a civil suit for violation of Constitutional Rights. And, Trump isn't shy about civil suits.

Trump Announces He Will Unilaterally Fund DHS and Dares Democrats to Sue to Stop Him;
Republican Senators Offer Democrats Deal, and Democrat Senators Accept

The "deal" is exactly what you'd expect from Mitch McConnell's prison punk John Thune: Capitulation. When a Ted Cruz demands a government shut-down to advance a conservative goal, the GOPe shrieks that that's not how we do business and caves immediately. But when the Democrats shut the government down, the GOPe also caves.

Update: Commenters disagree with my hot take. I have included their dissent before the jump.

But first, Trump's declaration that he will fund DHS on his own authority, citing powers under the National Emergencies Act.

I don't know if the president is allowed to bypass Congress' chief power over the purse through the Emergencies Act or if it's still beyond his power. But it's only beyond his power if a judge rules it so after Democrats bring lawsuit to stop him, and I don't know if they'd have the balls to be so open about wanting to keep TSA agents unpaid as well as DHS counter-terrorism agents during a war with the terror state of Iran.

Fox:

President Trump announced on Thursday he will sign an emergency order to pay TSA agents and hopefully relieve congestion at the nation's largest airports.
In a lengthy Truth Social post where he savaged Democrats for their role in refusing to fund the Department of Homeland Security, Trump said he would see that the agents are paid.
"Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!" Trump said.
"I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it!," he wrote.
His announcement came as Republicans and Democrats struggle to fund the department and as Transportation Security Administration employees faced a second month without a paycheck.
Under the National Emergency Act, the president could order unspent government funds to be used to temporarily pay TSA employees -- a move that would bypass Congress.
Republicans have the majority in the Senate but lack the 60 votes needed to advance DHS funding in the legislative process.

Rather than letting this play out, GOPe Senators caved and gave the Democrats what they wanted -- the TSA would be funded, but the parts of DHS that Democrats want to defund, ICE and the Border Patrol, will be defunded, just as the Democrats wanted.

This is a deal? Give them everything they want?

DHS shutdown breakthrough comes at cost for Republicans as funding fights nears end

Senate Republicans are eying reconciliation as a long-term solution for ICE and CBP funding

Again, Thune is pushing the idea that he'll concede everything on the vote but he'll "make it up during budget reconciliation."

But budget reconciliation requires cuts to the budget. How exactly is spending the money for CBP and ICE a budget cut? The Democrats are actually cutting the budget by defunding two agencies.

Congress is one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown after the Senate advanced a new, last-minute deal, but it came at the price of Republicans ceding ground, temporarily, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
The Senate unanimously advanced a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wee hours of Friday morning, 42 days into the shutdown that was spurred by the Trump administration's immigration operations in Minnesota.
It was an agreement that largely gave Schumer and Senate Democrats what they wanted -- no funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). But it lacked the stringent reforms they desired, like requiring judicial warrants or requiring agents to unmask.
While the deal mirrors previous attempts by Democrats to pass similar legislation that carved out immigration funding, Thune argued that Democrats are still walking away empty-handed in the policy fight over immigration enforcement.
"We've been trying for weeks to fund the whole thing," Thune said. "And, I mean, in the end, this is what they were willing to agree to. But again, it's different that it has zero reforms in it. I mean, they got no reforms on DHS, which they could have had if they had been willing to work with us a little bit on that."
Schumer said that if Republicans hadn't blocked their initial attempts, "this could have been done three weeks ago."
"This is exactly what we wanted," Schumer said. "This is what we asked for, and I'm very proud of my caucus. My caucus held the line."

Now it goes to the House -- and I'm sure House conservatives aren't happy about this.

But what Thune has done is make it politically costly for conservatives to veto the deal. Now, Democrats will be able to say "It's the MAGA Republican shut-down!"

Also, Thune has given up all leverage. The Democrats want to defund ICE and CBP. They want a wide-open border. You can only force them to fund those agencies by tying that funding to something that it is costly for them to refuse to fund -- like TSA and DHS counter-terrorism operations.

But now, they have the funding for the stuff they want, and can refuse to fund the stuff they don't want with no penalty whatsoever.

And Republican Senators are already warning us: BTW, this whole "reconcilliation" thing is Failure Theater Bullshit so don't expect the funding to actually pass.

And some Republicans are already couching expectations on what can and can't be accomplished in the party-line process, given that anything in the bill has to pass muster with strict rules in the Senate.
"I think we have to set our sights a little bit lower on this reconciliation bill," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Fox News Digital. "It's got to be targeted to fund ICE for 10 years, I think that's the number one thing to us."

Or possibly he's saying "I know we told you we'd pass the SAVE Act by reconciliation, which was also Failure Theater Bullshit, but now that we've got this new Failure Theater Bullshit production going, you have to accept we've got to "set our sights a little lower" and just do the ICE and CBP funding as our first-priority Failure Theater Bullshit.

It's almost as if the GOPe exists to pretend to oppose the Democrats while giving the communists everything they want, and then turning to the public and saying, "All of this was done constitutionally, because the 'opposition' party did in fact agree to all of the communists' demands."

Brilliant, Thune, you Gollum to Mitch McConnell's Sauron.

Update: Commenters disagree.

They played a big bluff...and had to fold it with losses, since they are now on record as giving in as a full group...
Posted by: Nova Local

If the bill doesn't include a bar on face masks, ID requirements, and a ban on ICE going into "sensitive" locations, then it's not a GOP cave, it's a Democrat cave.
Those things were what Democrats wanted. They said so many times.
They didn't get those things.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

Ace, I see this differently: it was the Democunts who caved, assuming this deal goes through. You can tell by how desperately they moved the goalposts. Cuck Schemer is now cheering that ... he got TSA funded at airports.
The shutdown wasn't about incremental funding for ICE and BP, as ICE and BP are already funded through 2028. The shutdown was about unmasking agents, identification requirements, limits on where ICE could go, and basically making their lives hell.
Dums got none of that. So they are now pretending it was always about funding TSA at airports. (Huh? They shut down the gov't over TSA?) Since TSA funding was restored -- something Trump and the GOP wanted too -- the Dums are claiming they won.
This is a win for the GOP -- albeit not a 100% complete one -- and a cave for the Dums. Not the other way around.

They played a big bluff...and had to fold it with losses, since they are now on record as giving in as a full group...

7 If the bill doesn't include a bar on face masks, ID requirements, and a ban on ICE going into "sensitive" locations, then it's not a GOP cave, it's a Democrat cave.

Those things were what Democrats wanted. They said so many times.

It's not a GOP win by a long shot, but it's a HUGE Dem "L" - they get nothing for all of the pain they inflicted.

19 The House Freedom Caucus just said they are a no on this bill until ICE is included and the SAVE Act is amended to it.

Also, Democrats did’t get everything they wanted. This is what Republicans proposed some time ago when Democrats indicated they would not vote to fund DHS. Democrats also wanted changes to ICE operations. Then when Republicans conceded some of that, Democrats raised the bar again and made a lot of other demands. That’s when Trump said FU and declared an emergency. At that point Democrats knew they were screwed and accepted the original deal Republicans proposed.

BTW just think about this. Democrats screwed American citizens and put them through the TSA wringer to show their support for illegal aliens. There is no other way to read what they did.

Is that their midterm winning message?

Posted by: Marcus T at March 27, 2026 12:19 PM (zfkPG)

20 No funding for ICE?

So, all the new agents are getting fired, right?

There are rescissions in the funding bill that undo OBBB, right?

ICE are just going to outright stop enforcing immigration law, that which they've been doing nonstop throughout the whole shutdown to the point where they were the only DHS employees getting paid in airports when they showed up to help TSA?

28 Ace, I see this differently: it was the Democunts who caved, assuming this deal goes through. You can tell by how desperately they moved the goalposts. Cuck Schemer is now cheering that ... he got TSA funded at airports.

The shutdown wasn't about incremental funding for ICE and BP, as ICE and BP are already funded through 2028. The shutdown was about unmasking agents, identification requirements, limits on where ICE could go, and basically making their lives hell.

Dums got none of that. So they are now pretending it was always about funding TSA at airports. (Huh? They shut down the gov't over TSA?) Since TSA funding was restored -- something Trump and the GOP wanted too -- the Dums are claiming they won.

This is a win for the GOP -- albeit not a 100% complete one -- and a cave for the Dums. Not the other way around.

Their crazy base is energized, that’s a fact. You can hand waive off the special elections, but they put up some very larger than normal numbers of voters. They need those people for the midterms.

This may sound like an electoral death wish to you (fighting for illegal aliens). But it’s a clarion call to their base who wants this and will show up in November in big numbers if they keep getting red meat.

At least some will be able to yell at people calling them doomers n black pill. Then if we lose big in the mid terms because of GOPe sabotage we can curse the GOPe for a while then go back to falling for the latest flavor of the month "conservative"and fight with each other over their authenticity. Then some will say I'm not voting for the bastards, then some will yell at those people asking why you would hand over a win to the enemy. Then the person we fought over IS the enemy, another Thune type. I'm to the point where I'm numb to it. Just pull the lever for an R and stfu. Hope for the best(?) I don't know anymore.

82 Probably some Historian Morons can clarify this, but I think this whole Republic went to shit when the behind-the-scenes power brokers whittled down the number of political parties to just two, sometime in the late 1800's?.

That right there made it so easy for them to manipulate the direction of American politics.

99 Look, if there's a loser, it's the American people who will now probably have a more radicalized DHS. Why?

This was the 2nd shutdown with missed paycheck for DHS in 6 months. Who can afford to miss paychecks multiple times a year? No one on a government salary, especially no one with a family and a single wage earner on a government salary. So, who left in these shutdowns? The conservative employees, the employees with families with kids,, the employees who COULD leave and were competent.

Who stayed? The zealots, the f&ckups, and the single folks...aka, the blue dream for government employees...

So, you now can expect a less competent, more liberally zealot, and more liberal voting crew...

100 I saw the 4K remastered version of Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS. Legendary in its time (although surely most of that was hype for marketing), it's fairly tame by modern standards. It's basically soft-core sex porn and soft-core torture porn.

What was most surprising is how well it was made. The budget is obviously low, but the director and crew knew how to shoot a movie. Good framing, some nice camerawork, and decent lighting for a movie with a budget about what it costs to feed the crew for a day on a modern Hollywood movie.

It's pure sleaze and schlock, but even then they had to try to dress up exploitative crap as a victory for feminism. Isla is supposedly some kind of feminist icon. Ummm ... ok.

She's a sadistic lunatic who tortures women, forced them to be raped by SS soldiers, and murders them. She violates women in the most vile manner possible, literally shoving flaming, spiked, electrified dildos up their vaginas until they die. The most abusive, misogynistic male rapist would be like "that bitch is cray-cray."

But yea, she's a victory for women. Feminists are fucked in the head.

Really shows you how much the entire thing was political theatre on the republican side. It’s disgusting what they’re willing to do to their fellow Americans.

So, they're passing what Democrats proposed before the 40 day shutdown. Kind of like how the goal of the war in Iran is now opening the Strait of Hormuz when it was open prior to the war.

FINALLY! I bet the House won’t pass it, or trump won’t sign it, though. Doesn't matter. Deal is on the table. Any pain after this is strictly on the GOP.

They passed it because they are taking 2 weeks off for vacation and want to be able to fly. Can we please overthrow this entire government already? They literally are worthless

I wonder what else is buried in this bill. Republicans must have voted for it for some reason. I not really seeing them being altruistic at this point in time

Turning civil matters (deportation) into criminal matters (judicial warrants) while also maintaining that deportation over civil crimes is just so wrong.

Deportation is the farkin' civil remedy. It deprives the individual not at all of liberty or property. Sending someone back to their home country is not a damage.

171 I have not really been following this, and the democrat demands have been very vague publicly.

But what they wanted was "due process." Habeas basically. They wanted anyone captured by ICE to have government funded attorney, right to go in front of a court to determine if the state has right to hold them and deport them.

For those with deportation orders, this is second bite at apple since they were already in front of a judge.

But there are others who ICE is allowed to deport without that, and Dems wanted this "due process" for all. They are not citizens, so do not have *full* constitutional rights, but they have some and that is the big argument.

In past, the Dems have tried to do this for all immigration cases and they even wanted a special immigration court in DC (so under Dem control, dem districts, dem juries, ...)

They want this because it will (a) stop the deportations, and (b) make the legal industrial complex very rich.

I get what you're saying but I don't necessarily agree that he's truly happy. I think he would put on a smile and claim victory if someone shot him in the nuts. He's a professional liar.

Did ICE get defunded? No. Is ICE being forced to remove their masks? No. Did Democrats get any of things they were demanding to pass a DHS funding bill? No.

I don't like the deal because it sets precedent that the Senate can now fund only parts of agencies they like instead of funding everything. I'm sure that will come back to bite us at some point.

But Democrats didn't score a big win no matter what they say publicly unless there are things in this bill that haven't come to light yet.

Yea, there's a shower scene in the first 5 minutes of She-Wolf. It's comically cheesy and exploitative, and the very sharp 4K restoration shows something that probably nobody saw before: the outline of the breast implant balloons and the incision lines where she was cut open to insert them.

In the commentary, a much older Thorne is commenting on that scene, and on the exploitative nudity and sex in general. She's clearly embarrassed by it. But rather than say "hey, it was the 70s, I was young and getting paid to get naked," she babbles some incoherency about it all being about female empowerment.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at March 27, 2026 12:48 PM (iFTx/)

182 ICE was funded to $75 billion.

Until 2028

And they have only spent $10 billion of it so far.

So I think this was Thune saying "I'll let you claim victory while you get nothing."

Which is something we can argue about but its not as bad as actually defunding ICE would be.

======

Recesses (real ones) require a majority vote from the floor. The Senate is not going to give up its power over appointments, especially this GOP.

Thune is going through the motions on the SAVE act like he did on the OBBB. It's probably all an effort to appease a handful of on the cusp GOP senators (like Collins) to make sure their vote is done.

Also, he has to go through the whole debate thing (which they're doing) in order to bypass cloture.

The SAVE act, from the outside, looks like it's being maneuvered towards passage.

What a disturbing memory you just reminded me of!

I was getting all 4 wisdom teeth removed (all under the gum) because Navy submarine service required that you don't have them before reporting to your boat.

I had a Navy dentist, who happened to be in training. He pumped me full of Novocain, and the top two popped right out... but the bottom two required cutting deep into the gums, and the last needed, like you said, jack-hammering to break it up, and pull out the pieces...

Problem was, the Novocain was wearing off. I tried to tell him, but I had like an oil filter removal tool in my mouth... I started yelling, and I remember him saying " OK, just relax Petty Officer ******, we're almost there! He had his hand on my chest trying to get leverage to pull the fragments from my jaw...

It was quite a memorable experience.

225 The Dems wanted to require judicial warrants to arrest illegals. That would slow grind deportations as to essentially end them.

They didn't get that but the fact that they wanted it just shows that they are anti-American motherfuckers who should rightfully be contemplating their errors on the Tree of fucking Woe.

Think of it this way:
The very very best the Dems can hope for this upcoming midterm is ... a narrow majority in the House.
If the Dems had the SCOTUS, the Presidency and the Senate, would you be excited that the Republicans might could possibly win a narrow majority in the House?

Again: Compare Trump in Oct. 2020, Oct. 2024 and now.
Which is he more like, 2020 or 2024?

LOL! Wut?

I'm reading Fellowship right now. Just the story is around 400 pages, though there's a considerable prologue explaining hobbits.

The other two are shorter. Two Towers is around 350 pages and Return of the King is about 300 pages.

Mine are trade paperback copies, though. The mass-market paperbacks will be longer.

I also find the prose much easier to read in Lord of the Rings for the most part. I found the style of The Hobbit to be much more long-winded in places.

The post about KFC going halal was from 2024. I don't know if it actually happened. Halal chicken is ... chicken. The "halal certification" is purely in how the cow was killed, which I have no doubt is paying off some Muslim grifter to certify it regardless whether it's really halal. There was a scandal in NYC some years back over fake "kosher" certifications.

There are lots of restaurants in heavily Muslim areas who promote their menus as "halal" because if not they would lose all those customers.

272 The Silmarillion has some great lines and stories but you can tell it was never completed for publication.

West, North, and South the children of Men spread and wandered, and their joy was the joy of the morning before the dew is dry, when every leaf is green.

But the dawn is brief and the day full often belies its
promise; and now the time drew on to the great wars of the powers of the North, when Noldor and Sindar and Men strove against the hosts of Morgoth Bauglir, and went down in ruin.

People keep saying that it's important to win threads. I say it's just as important to thread wins.

And we can start today. You can start today. I can start today. Olay?

Everyone can win a thread or thread a win if we just start today. Start today. It doesn't matter when you start. It could be today or it could be tomorrow. What matters is that you do it. That you do it. That you do it.

Because what really matters isn't what's in a thread. It's what's in your heart. What's in a thread can change but what's in your heart is real. Because blood is real. Right? It has types and it is real. O. B. AB. It's real. They're all real. These other people, they're gonna go out there and tell you that blood isn't real. But it is.

It is.

It is.

I have seen blood. I know that blood is real and if you're a child or a minority and you have dreams, you don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Thank you.

“One time, I had an intimacy coordinator, and they started directing me on, like, how to have sex in a scene,” Graham remembered. “They were like, ‘When you do this, you can do this.’ And I was like, ‘You’re not the director, OK? I’m not asking for notes on how to have sex in the scene.'”

“I just felt, like, ‘Shut up,’” she added. “I’m like, ‘You can just tell this to the director… because I don’t want to have two different people directing me.’ It’s confusing.”

>>>The other two are shorter. Two Towers is around 350 pages and Return of the King is about 300 pages.
Mine are trade paperback copies, though. The mass-market paperbacks will be longer.

You are right on the page count (now that I check) but LOTR is written more densely than the Hobbit. The pages literally are packed with more words. My version of The Hobbit has a low word count per page.

>>>I also find the prose much easier to read in Lord of the Rings for the most part. I found the style of The Hobbit to be much more long-winded in places.

I think this is probably a minority position!

It's a stink bomb lobbed into the conference room, not to mention forcing the Dems to make all sorts of obnoxious noises about opposing funding for federal agencies that protect US citizens and their jobs.

We had both sons done the same day. One was a pale, groggy, sleepy mess. The other would not shut up in glee and I told him this was why he was bleeding more than his brother. Their father and I had to walk them to their rooms (at this point both were taller than me).

At the time, over 20yrs ago, the HS rumor was a Frosty would cure it all. No nutrition but we got them Frosty from Wendy's. No straws as sucking straws dislodges clot.

They did have other stuff from nurse Mom for protein.

One thing that kept swelling down was ice. I'd put a soft ice wrap on both sides, tie a towel around that, and did this for the first day. They looked like bunnies but let me do what I wanted to them and it worked. Once they revived they played video games and I have a photo of them in this condition.

360 ICE and CBP OFFICERS are funded. Not the support staff; i.e., the people that do things like pay bills, order food for those who get arrested, or do the local HR paperwork.There are literally thousands of little things that make a federal machine like ICE run, and all the people who know how to do that are going to quit because they either keep their job or feed their family. So your smart commentators that disagree are full of it - it's not a win by any measure. This is the third time it's happened in 6 months. The result of this is Dems get what they wanted, ICE will close down or be forced to shift officers to admin work (which most don't know how to do). Admin employees are being told they are great, we love you, but you have to work without pay.

361 The fact that the GOP even bothered to talk to the Dems about funding with carve-outs over TSA & ICE stuff was the hugest original cave by the GOP. Their proper response should have been "hell no, and the horse you rode in on." But the GOP agreed to talk.

That was the huge cave. Anything the GOP carves back from is along the lines of "we've increased the chocolate ration from 45 grams to 20 grams." The Dems will win this one big in the Senate.

The House has already said "hell no" which is something of a save. But it surely tells us the utter useless flacidity of the Senate GOP.

THE MORNING RANT: Illegally Logged Wood for Wind Energy is Deforesting the Amazon Rainforest

It would seem odd that the environmental-left is now fully in favor of destroying the environment to produce boutique forms of non-renewable energy, but that is where we are. Of course, the reason we are here is that the high priests of the climate cult have issued their version of “just war doctrine” – specifically that whale killing, bird slaughter, and strip mining are now considered righteous and holy acts when done as sacraments of the faith.

Wind farms are especially awful. They produce zero kilowatts of baseline electricity, and they require 100% backup from reliable sources of electricity. Even worse, wind farms are causing widespread death of whales, including the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. Millions of bats and birds are also killed by wind turbines each year, including raptors and eagles whose killing is otherwise illegal.

But somehow, the story keeps getting worse regarding the damage done by the wind industry.

“Half a Million Balsa Trees Illegally Logged in Amazon Rainforest Every Year to Feed Global Wind Turbine Demand” [The Daily Sceptic – 3/17/2026]

Over half a million balsa hardwood trees are being illegally logged in the Amazon rainforest every year to feed the massive demand for wind turbines in many parts of the world. Balsa is a lightweight but strong wood that is commonly used in the core of giant turbine blades.
The annual loss of balsa trees in virgin rainforests is unnecessary ecological rape traceable back to ideologues driving a hard-Left Net Zero fantasy.

Outside of farmed plantations, balsa trees have a very low density of just one or two per acre, therefore half a million trees being cut from the wild indicates vast areas being cleared of any native balsa trees. Just one three-bladed wind turbine requires about 40 balsa trees.

If there were ever any doubt that green energy / net zero is a religious cult, its adherents now *favor* whale-killing & razing the rainforest so that their holy altars - wind turbines - may be erected across every stretch of ocean & wilderness. @ComradeArthur https://t.co/pFthI1nDA4

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Texas and Florida Shatter the ABA’s Gatekeeping Power” discusses how Texas and Florida just became the first states to revoke the ABA’s monopoly power to grant accreditation to law schools. This matters, because only graduates of accredited law schools may take the bar exam, and the ABA has been force-feeding a woke agenda onto law schools.

By 2021, to maintain accreditation, law schools had to “demonstrate by concrete action a commitment to diversity and inclusion.” This included having faculty and student bodies that were “diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity.”

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Don't forget the slaughter of birds!!

American Audubon Society loves to rail about bird dying because they get confused and crash into tall buildings, yet are mysteriously silent on wind farms and solar farms.

They regularly kill protected birds that you or I would go to jail for killing (not that we'd ever want to).

It is a total inversion of their stated goals.

14 The giant wind turbines have one SMALL useful purpose. If a group that purports to be for wildlife or the environment does not oppose them its a sure sign that the group is just a communist agitator and cares less about critters or the environment.

Well over a decade ago some research was done and they found that Ducks Unlimited actually helped ducks and geese by arranging leases with farmers to keep marshy ponds in their farmland and so on. The rest of the groups basically did nothing but pay lobbyists to wine and dine politicians

19 Most, if not all of those wind turbines are built in China.
The same nation that leads the world, by a large margin, in coal fired electrical generation with over 1,200 of them. With another 200+ planned or under construction.
By comparison, the US has less than 250 of those left in operation.
So, while the Amazon is being de-forested, and lithium is being mined under horrendous environmental conditions in Africa, then shipped across the ocean to China where the EV batteries are made. Then those batteries are shipped across the ocean again to North American or European assembly plants to be put into EV cars.
The entire "Green" religion is a scam and we pay thru the nose for the costs while China spews the most CO2 of any nation worldwide.
A sick fucking joke.

23 The largest wind turbine in the world, off the coast of southern China, was shut down for a period of time when it was discovered it created its own "micro-climate."

It affected some offshore aqua-farming and IIRC a tourist area in a negative way.

When spinning, and it's raining, most wind turbines disrupt the natural flow of rain and disperse it unevenly in the area. A whole "wind farm" can totally disrupt any sort of agriculture or wildlife in the immediate area.

39 I despise the ABA and want it dead. It's good that some states think the same thing. But no sane law student will go to a law school that's not accredited by the ABA, unless that student has no choice.

Why? Because it will be a career-killer unless you are absolutely 100% sure you will open your own practice in that state and will never leave.

Each state has its own credentials to be a member of a bar of that state (and thus allowing you to practice law in that state). So if you gain admission to the TX bar after graduating from a non-accredited law school, that allows you to practice in TX alone.

If you ever leave the state, you would need to get licensed or admitted to practice in whatever state you move to. If that state requires ABA-accredited law schools, then you're shit out of luck.

Very risky career choice, IMO.

51 The purpose of the Kon-Tiki adventure was to prove that white caucasians were the first to settle Polynesia by floating over from Peru. He proved it could be done. Of course, even then that was considered racially offensive, so he was considered an asshole.

Since then, all evidence that whites were the first in the Americas or Polynesia has been buried and/or destroyed. Personally, I don't think the evidence is compelling, but it calls into question the alleged "consensus" that the original settlers were not white.

There's enough evidence supporting Heyerdahl's theory to warrant further research, but that will never happen.

Similarly, timber and paper mills developed best practices to prevent deforestation, once places like my AO got deforested, and had to be replanted and cultivated at horrible cost.

My daughter's firm refused to use AI for a long time, but finally caved. However, they've made it VERY clear that an actual attorney must check every cite and make sure everything is correct. I imagine a failure to do so that ended up embarrassing the company would be a firing offense.

78 The last images of Renee Good were so creepy. Her face betrayed deep mental illness. The elitists at the top of the leftist pyramid are focused on grabbing all the money they can, but the vast majority of the leftist laity are weak-minded gibbering psychos with no coherent goals or principles. Some of the best people I have had the privilege of knowing in my life were leftist environmentalists (only one facet of their lives). I love them to this day and refuse to believe they would turn their backs on their environmentalism and love for animals due to changing political "winds".

79 I used to build those model planes and rockets out of balsa wood. If you built them right, they would fly quite impressively. If you built them wrong, all the dozens if not 100s of hours you spend building the thing went to shit because they would crash almost instantly. I had a few rockets blow up on the launching pad too.

A lot of times people don’t get the car. You have to pay income tax on the value of the car right away. . Most people don’t have the money.

I have a friend who was involved with this kind of thing. Not a game show but same type of thing, charity car raffles, casino giveaways, etc. He said dealers make money on this. They’ll sell the car to the company running the charity at full price, buy the car from the winner at a discount, allowing the winner to pay taxes, then sell the car again at full price because it’s still a new car. Easiest $10k for a dealer to make, it’s just paperwork.

107 AI and ChatGPT are already being used by lawyers and law firms.

Only a fool would use it without having someone who knows what they are doing check it thoroughly. But AI does a very good job of pulling together materials, facts, and formats to create a "first draft."

AI is basically doing what a first-year lawyer or experienced paralegal would be doing before.

This is not a complete comment. Some populations, and this includes some populations that are of extinct lineages, have marker genes of australasian populations, and those markers do not show in any other populations in the new world.
This was considered "possibly because as that population passed from Beringia after the Younger Dryas they left no trace" say because they migrated by boat down the West coast without settling on land where their remains could be found, and then managed to cross the Andes to get to the Amazon, but it now appears that the peopling of the New world goes back to either the Younger Dryas and possibly to the Boelling interstadial (warm period) prior and would have had to have been by boat.

How many times must it be explained that ICE was funded and appropriated through 2028 by the OBBB?

There are some minor support functions, apparently, and some expanded spending (like some holding centers) that the GOP eyed that didn't get funded, but enforcement from OBBB is still around.

The shutdown wasn't about expanded ICE funding, though. It was about policy changes like masks and IDs and not being allowed near "sensitive" locations.

Did Democrats get any of those things?

No, they did not. So, why are people acting like the GOP caved?

Because Democrats declared victory and people believe them for some reason.

147 ABA accreditation is such a ridiculous joke.

It's literally "grease the right palms" and everyone knows it.

One time, I saw a law school up for re-accreditation.

They did goofy shit like polish all the wood railings, bannisters and steps.
So the whole school reeked of Lemon Pledge.

Because Senate Democrats didn’t end up accepting the Republican offer on DHS funding & negotiations fell apart yesterday,
Dems will get *zero* of the ICE reforms they had been demanding, including ones that GOP had already agreed to, like showing ID, increased Congressional oversight, agreements to not hit sensitive locations, etc.

These reforms were the reason Dems started the shutdown in the first place, and now instead of getting a few concessions on their demand list, they get none.

The only thing they secured was no funding for CBP & ICE, which are largely already funded via the OBBB, and Republicans will seek to fund them even further without Dem votes in reconciliation instead.

As for the Dem’s demand list on ICE reforms?

“That ship has sailed,” Sen. Majority Leader John Thune said this morning. “They kissed that opportunity goodbye by failing to provide funding for those agencies.”

Places like Williams Grove should be fine for now. They are much smaller facilities. The lure of the big, full-size racetracks for developers is they usually sit on 100s of acres of mostly empty but usable land and are already properly zoned for commercial use.

The human brain goes through a development period in which, during childhood and puberty, the brain prunes connections to help focus and control how it perceives and interacts with reality. This is evident during early language acquisition, and later learning as the individual matures. One of the theories of schizophrenia is that the pruning is short circuited or neglecte, which causes all sorts of misconnections leading to hallucinations and bad reality matching.
I wonder if LLMs have the same problem.

I've been listening to a lot of Sarah Paine's geopolitical/historical analysis on yootoob and she's quite good. However, she has two blind spots. First is an overreliance on the idea of foreign allies; and an absolute faith that alternative energy is the wave of the future. And since the Chinee are building most of the alt energy parts and equipment, she thinks that it's a harbinger of Chinese power in the near future.

What she doesn't get is that the Chinee aren't stupid enough to rebuild their whole domestic energy grid and expecting it to run on wind and solar. They're heavily investing in coal/nat gas power stations, like a sane country.

"The Full-length Mirror," painted by Eva Gonzalès around 1869–70, depicts her sister Jeanne contemplating her reflection in a simple room. This work is notable for its subdued color palette and is part of the Impressionist tradition of portraying women at their mirrors."

Size: approximately 165 × 111 cm (65 × 44 in)

79 I like the detail on the mirror and really like the subtle use of color in the clothing. The relatively indistinct reflection of her face and hair is bothersome, discordant, against the more realistic features of the woman and furnishings. I don't know if that was deliberate.

I wouldn't hang it. There is a 'so what' quality, like a snap shot without context. It doesn't make the viewer, at least not this viewer, think of a story line to go with the image. It's not a bad painting, just not inspiring.

Or it could be that the artist's sister *is* married and pregnant, and doesn't want to be for whatever reason. Maybe her doctor warned her, "One more child will kill you." Or her husband has died or deserted her.

The "end the war" stuff is just the simplest way to play both sides. That's why Dems have started the chant.

Every day the war doesn't end they have the high ground. Then when it does they still have the high ground and Trump "listened" to them.

It's not gonna go on nearly as long as people fear, I don't think. They already know. That's why the story keeps morphing. Now they will settle on "end the war" for a while.

146 I just heard a funny story on the WOR 710 conservative Mark Simone program:

Trump uses a sharpie -and has for years- to sign things. They pass out a bunch of these after Trump signs a bill. Trump called up the CEO of Sharpie- who didn't believe it was Trump, at first and , "I like your pens, but they're kind of dull. Do you think you put a White House logo in gold (and maybe his name ) and the guy is doing it. I think that's hysterical and as Mark Simone said, "It will drive the lefty kooks up a wall." He likes to use the term "Lefty Kooks." 😉 He uses it frequently.

228 You think Trump has any intention of this lasting to even a month before the big 250th? Let alone anywhere near the midterms?

Nope. And I would bet a lot on it.

Unless Israel and our deep intelligence here rolled him, which is *possible* but very unlikely. Israel has its own survival at stake.

What Trump is demonstrating more than anything is true leadership, something sorely lacking in the modern world. To the point where people don't even recognize it until the shape is completely revealed.

Putting his entire legacy on the line, and to some extent the future of the country, not to mention the hopes and cares of everyone who voted for him, all to do what he believes is right and will work.

247 I have no problem with US forces "boots on the ground". That's where they belong.

At this point in the war, well, that's the next step, and it makes sense. They will go in there to remove the last vestiges of the islamic regime, the armed ground forces of the IRNG (or whatever, who cares?) which will allow the real people of Iran to come together in some sort of equitable governing system.

And it's not like we are sending our boys to their certain deaths... quite the fucking opposite. They are the best trained and best equipped force ever seen. They won't be beaten.

Yes, it's dangerous, and of course some may give their lives, but isn't that what war, and peace, is all about?

Most of our ruling class are borderline retarded, because most of them *have to be* for the system to keep working.

Because Senate Democrats didn’t end up accepting the Republican offer on DHS funding & negotiations fell apart yesterday, Dems will get *zero* of the ICE reforms they had been demanding, including ones that GOP had already agreed to, like showing ID, increased Congressional oversight, agreements to not hit sensitive locations, etc.

These reforms were the reason Dems started the shutdown in the first place, and now instead of getting a few concessions on their demand list, they get none.

The only thing they secured was no funding for CBP & ICE, which are largely already funded via the OBBB, and Republicans will seek to fund them even further without Dem votes in reconciliation instead

The Morning Report — 3/27/26

Good morning kids. Well, there are foreign invaders of the illegal alien variety and then there are foreign invaders!

Was there just an attempt to carry out a mass casualty attack at CENTCOM headquarters?
MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida is where the headquarters of CENTCOM, the United States Central Command are located. CENTCOM oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East, Central Asia, and some areas of South Asia, and that means that it is involved in U.S. actions against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Recently, an improvised explosive device was discovered outside a gate at MacDill; it didn’t go off, but if it had, the damage could have been extensive. Was someone targeting CENTCOM? And if so, who?The more one examines this story, the more questions multiply. . . It all started on March 10, when “a 911 call warned of a bomb near the base’s visitor center. At the time, no device had been located.” Who made the call? No one knew at the time, but it turned out to be Alen Zheng, using a burner phone he bought at Best Buy. He apparently made the call in the hope of terrorizingthe people at MacDill. At the time of the call itself, however, no one at MacDill appeared to be particularly concerned about it, as nothing was found, and the people on the base went about their business. . .Were the Zhengs acting alone, out of some personal animus, or were they agents of the Chinese Communist government? Was this an attempt to disrupt CENTCOM’s operations, or just a couple of leftist nuts acting upon their hatred of the United States? If the People’s Republic was behind it, there are all sorts of reasons to downplay the incident at this time, but will any response be made? Could we at least get that program to bring over 500,000 Chinese nationals canceled?

Heaven forfend, lest we be accused of resurrecting the "Yellow Peril" tropes of the 19th century.

Too late, Tom Cotton went there!

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) compared President Ronald Reagan’s characterization of the Soviet Union to the reality of modern-day China, telling Breitbart News that the country is an “evil empire” and calling President Xi Jinping a “Marxist.” . . . China’s infamous Belt and Road Initiative “is just an example of how they’re trying to extend Communist Chinese influence around the world,” Cotton added.

NB there are several other stories in the links about Chi-Com subversion obviously all interrelated to this one.

Modern China, which aside from the trappings of 21st century technology like Islam has always had a toxic mix of imperialism and xenophbia that drives its ambitions not only to control those within its sphere of influence by keeping foreign ideas and cultures at bay by every means at their disposal, from massive walls to genocide and wars of conquest fought with both armies and by subversion.

If only Truman nuked Beijing the moment the PLA crossed the Yalu River way back when, or let MacArthur Go all the way instead of sacking him. Oh well, here we are 70 odd years later.

The Chinese Communist Party have in many ways far exceeded their Russian Soviet mentors and role models in this regard. Both combined have over the past century degraded our own society to the point where we are forced to endure this kind of insanity:

Over the last few years, we have seen how American universities have been shifting into a rhetoric that not only accepts “Death to America,” but is openly chanting the same slogans of the oppressive regime . . . When professors, like Samer Alatout, and academic figures use their authority to defend or legitimize the Islamic Republic of Iran, they are reinforcing the narrative of a regime defined by repression, executions, support for militant groups, and decades of promoting “Death to America.” . . . The question facing universities is not whether professors are allowed to express political views. Academic freedom protects that right. The deeper concern is what happens after students leave the classroom. When narratives promoted by professors begin to mirror the messaging of an authoritarian regime that openly calls for America’s destruction, those ideas do not remain confined to campus debates.

Let's be clear. Academia, the so-called cultural elite, the Left and the Democrat Party are not merely against our attacking Iran. They have been collectively and continually shrieking "Death to America" in both word and deed for nearly 200 years. They hate America, its history, heritage, culture and people as much if not more than the Mullahs.

And speaking of which and shifting gears, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as the popular outlets listed below, things are getting muddled in Iran vis a vis what our final objective is or should be.

And as we both have stated and written many many times, US boots on the ground is to say the very least not a good idea, and yet the 82nd Airborne and possibly many more are on their way to the Middle East. Could be kharg Island or perhaps somewhere else as this latest development suggests:

Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Thursday that they are ready to stand with Iran against the US and Israel, threatening to open a new front along the Red Sea that serves as a key global trade route. The Iran-backed terror group said that it would be ready to enter the fight at a moment’s notice following Tehran’s warning that the war could spread to the Bab al-Mandab Strait if the US launches a ground invasion. “We stand fully militarily ready with all options,” a Houthi leader told Reuters, suggesting the rebel group was in direct coordination with Iran.

Yikes.

Also, in addition to the CENTCOM attempted bombing - the B-52 air base in Louisiana was swarmed by drones that are beyond the technological capability of Iran to deploy. Yet nobody is talking about it. The operations at the base had to be suspended.

The tools are readily available for drone defense - I don't know why more emphasis hasn't been put on it. There's a mobile deployable system that uses airburst Bushmaster cannon rounds to neutralize drone swarms thats already proven - why they're not ubiquitously installed is beyond me.

29 Your Therapist Is Being Told To ‘Affirm’ Child Transgenderism

I know a woman who took her teenage son to a therapist because the boy was having a rough time. He made a joking remark about being as emotional as a girl about certain things.

Use B-52 and inexpensive (and indiscriminate) gravity bombs, make each bomb line part of a triangle. Use two triangles, with points opposed. Put the Star of David in bomb damage lines on the capital.

My 2nd favorite part of their hysterics was the only quotes opposite Trump were Keith Ellison and the howls of some hypheneted last name faggot.

But my absolute favorite part was they gave not a single bit of proof that Somali's are not low-IQ garbage people from a low-IQ garbage country.

Because any Somali who isn't low-IQ despises the rest.

A better ban would be to limit to non-civilian flight hours (aka 12am-5am)...b/c some of those routes might be needed in an emergency.

72 Personally, I'm not all that surprised that there are purported "terrorist" attack attempts here. During *biden's reign thousands of Middle Eastern and Chinese single men were observed crossing, illegally, the wide open southern border.

AFAIK not one was vetted. Not one was tracked. Not one's whereabouts are currently known.

People will downplay this as a low level, low possibility threat. Until it's not.

79 On the Senate bill, Dems gave in...
NBC4.com

"Senators worked through the night on the deal that would fund much of the rest of the department, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard and TSA, but without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Customs was funded, but Border Protection was not.

The package puts no new limits on immigration enforcement, which has remained largely uninterrupted by the shutdown. The GOP’s big tax cuts bill that Trump signed into law last year funneled billions in extra funds to DHS, including $75 billion for ICE operations, ensuring the immigration officers are still being paid despite the lapse."

92 Air traffic controllers are notoriously understaffed. And probably overworked. The mickey mouse horseshit with the various budgets isn't helping either. Plus the currently level of training, and more importantly, experience really went downhill under *biden.

Here, there's a KY ANG base right next to the main Louisville airport. Less than 4 miles away is Ft. Knox. Military air traffic and civilian air (especially UPS) is almost nonstop. Other than the accident UPS had with a MD-11 earlier, it's been pretty safe.

Give them police power and limited official immunity (as the left will launch a thousand discrimination cases to get their union members rehired).

Why should I pay for your security at the airport even though I'm not flying?

And why is a federal agency required? Is there magic detection ability in their brass badge?

Airline can run KYC through the federal database pre-purchase, the ticket QR code can embed link to that biometrics that pulls up when scanned. Facial and pattern recognition AI to track you through the airport from check in.

And the worst part of it is that we are paying for much of it with our own tax dollars combined with money from CCP cutouts like Neville Singham.

When she told me about her plans I said, "Umm .Ahh" because what would be the point of arguing ? I would send her the Data Republican thing but she would believe none of it.

I took Mrs. F. to Arthur Avenue to eat about 20 years ago.

After we parked the car, the ever-cautious Mrs. F. asked one of the elderly Italo-American gentlemen seated nearby on their lawn chairs, "is it safe to park here?"

He considered briefly, then wagged his finger at her, "Lady, no one bothers the cars in this neighborhood."

161 Democrats folded because Trump’s move fully funded TSA and gave Democrats zero.

They ended up getting a separate budget conversation on funding ICE and CBP, which they want to shut down because it is deporting their voters. BTW Republicans agreed to do that some time ago. But Democrats kept pressing for more.

ICE and CBP will continue to operate for years because they are fully funded.

Under Biden Democrats helped millions of illegal aliens invaded our country, steal taxpayer money and defraud the government. Did you really think they would let the invaders and criminal get deported without a fight?

Now Democrats get to stand up and defend illegal aliens for the midterms.

Most people I know have no idea what's going on outside what they hear from mainstream sources. They think this talk of Color Revolutions is a crazy conspiracy theory and USAID was used to feed orphans in Africa.

USAID was a laundromat used to siphon our tax dollars into organizations both foreign and domestic to work hand in hand with the deep state and uniparty politicians to carry out missions that supported their preferred policies and attacked anyone like Trump who opposed them. Gutting that corrupt organization was a huge blow to them but they are far from dead. All these anti-ICE protests are professionally funded and organized just like BLM and antifa.

The most disturbing part is their partnership with scumbags like Neville Singham who is a marxist in league with the CCP. And it's all real.

Also claims to have converted from Islam to Christianity, yet the photos of him in uniform show him wearing a beard. Last I knew, beards are generally not allowed under BUPERS grooming regulations except under medical waiver or religious exemption (and Special Force personnel where warranted).

The best I ever saw was about 16 or so on the highway. Auto transmission, though. At .55/gal. in those days, that wasn't too bad.

It had power steering, but not power brakes. It didn't matter much, as the ca. 100-hp car was not going to need heavy braking, and it didn't. The radio was only AM; I bought a Pioneer Supertuner with cassette player and had it put in *under* the dash, like that big circular plotter Sulu had at the helm of the Enterprise.

Posted by: GigantorX at March 27, 2026 08:25 AM (x8k2o)

Have flown twice in the past month. Once to DC, once to Orlando - both from my little regional airport in Portland ME.

In my airport, there were absolutely no lines for Precheck.
DC there was 3 people in front of me in the Precheck line.
Orlando last week there was that sh*t show of a storm that blew through the east coast and canceled everything the day I was supposed to fly, so Wednesday morning at 430AM (I had to stay in the airport two days) I was in a 10 minute line at Precheck. The normal line at B terminal was a mile long at least.

I simply don't understand why people don't get Precheck. Its ridiculously easy hoop to jump through, you don't have to do all of the bullsh*t with the body scanners (can't remember the last time I had to do that) can leave your shoes on, your laptops in their bags and just walk through the metal detector. Thats in addition to the shorter lines.

I barely speak about politics with anyone because 99+% have no idea what they are talking about.

The best way I can explain it, and I'm not trying to be an asshole, is the feeling you get when you know a group of people are talking about football or something and it's obvious that someone is kind of playing along. It's ok not to know but pretending is just embarrassing for everyone. The key difference is that in politics people never see it. They seem to think an opinion is all that matters regardless of actual knowledge.

Dunno, maybe it's like that with sports talk too. But imagine someone walked up to you and started talking about movies with all the confidence in teh world and was totally clueless, which is a great movie btw.

242 The Maverick was intended to be Ford's replacement for the outgoing Falcon, and in fact the chassis was probably the same. It was also intended to be a fairly simple car that owners could work on themselves. I changed the oil multiple times (the old 3K mile change then), changed the coolant and once an upper radiator hose, the fuel filter (which screwed into the carburetor), the air filter, all those things.

The four-door to me looked like a four-door Mustang -- which was also probably Ford's intention.

Also, in addition to the CENTCOM attempted bombing - the B-52 air base in Louisiana was swarmed by drones that are beyond the technological capability of Iran to deploy. Yet nobody is talking about it. The operations at the base had to be suspended.

The tools are readily available for drone defense - I don't know why more emphasis hasn't been put on it. There's a mobile deployable system that uses airburst Bushmaster cannon rounds to neutralize drone swarms thats already proven - why they're not ubiquitously installed is beyond me.

I remember those, my first time entry into auto mods. Good friend had one that was a year old, wanted a skylight over the front seat, but it cost a lot to have one installed. So 17 year old him decided he could probably do it himself, and 17 year old me said “that’s a great idea, I can bring my dad’s tools, we’ll do it together!” So we went to Western Auto and bought a cheap car skylight, and went after the cars roof with a hacksaw.

It actually turned out surprisingly well. Not without a few worrisome moments; as was my habit at the time, I had not considered the possible downsides of our actions until we were well into the cutting.

Go ahead Whig, try doing a legal tap dance on how that is unconstitutional but the NFA is just hunky dory. That should be amusing.

It's exactly why. CIA Operation Mockingbird started back in the early 60s with the intent of infiltrating the media and controlling the narrative. It's still going on and we all got a ringside seat for the Russia hoax where both print and broadcast media were nothing more than mouthpieces for the intel community.

It's pretty easy to be cocky and confident when you are partnered with the federal government. That's also why they hate Trump and us so much. It's really the first serious threat to uniparty government and their pets in the media in decades.

All these NO KINGs people, Iranian street celebrators, do you really think they know what-it-takes to run a country, let alone the world?

It should be intuitively obvious China can't invade Taiwan without Iran/Oil but definitely WILL mine the strait immediately after Trump takes Kharg Island (the neutron-bomb nuclear way or not) if-and-only-if Hegseth fully deploys fully effect ASW (anti-submarine warfare) to destroy the remaining Iranian 30 mini-subs, and mine deploying trawlers (an extra 6 neutron bombs would take care of them too), but effective ASW will forever close the window on China's annexing of Tawain

The activity centered on State and Lake streets, where witnesses described crowds of young people running through the area, climbing on vehicles and engaging in fights. Alderman Brian Hopkins said conditions escalated quickly before officials intervened. In a post on X, Hopkins said the situation was "out of control" before a curfew enforcement order was issued around 10 p.m.

Regarding Zheng 1 and Zheng 2, South China Morning Post, in its article, 'Siblings who fled to China charged over bomb planted outside US Air Force base,' is the following:

"Alen Zheng remains at large, while Ann Mary Zheng was arrested after she returned to the US; their mother has been detained for deportation."

Reportedly, Ann and Alen Zheng are US citizens. Their mother was detained for deportation, having overstayed her visa. The device Alen left March 10th was outside the Visitor's Center, not inside McGill's security gates.

Arizona's Family: "Then he and his sister sold their Mercedes-Benz SUV, bought tickets to China, and were gone by March 12th."

Why Ann returned to the US and whether she and her brother hold dual citizenship with China? 🤷‍♀️

Daily Tech News 27 March 2026

Top Story

Intel has been delivering interesting new products lately, with the Core 250K and Core 270K processors and the B70 Pro graphics card all providing solid performance at unmatched prices. The Core 290K processor, though - the planned new top of the line - has been unceremoniously - and now, officially - cancelled. (Tom's Hardware)

The 290K was to replace the existing 285K. But since the new 270K has already been upgraded to match the core counts of the 285K, the 290K could only offer higher clock speeds... And Intel can't offer higher clock speeds, not with these particular chips.
Also spoiling Intel's plans is AMD with its long-awaited Ryzen 9950X3D2. (Tom's Hardware)

AMD's X3D chips have what they call "3D V-Cache", because it has triple the usual amount of cache memory, with a second memory die stacked on top of the CPU - or in the latest iteration, underneath it. Vertically. In 3D. Which is slightly redundant, yes.

The new X3D2 variant applies that to both the CPU dies in a 16-core processor. The increased cache provides its biggest performance gains for computer games - often running 30% faster than anything else - which only really use eight cores since that's what the current generation of consoles have.

The 9950X3D2 is aimed more at workstation users and for most tasks will be barely faster (and possibly slightly slower) than the existing 9950X3D.

AMD plans a breakthrough with its upcoming Zen 6 family, which will offer 50% more of everything, cores and cache alike.

Tech News

Reddit has a bot problem and plans to tackle it by verifying the notbots. (Tech Crunch)

The notbots are rioting at the thought of being verified.
Wikpedia has banned AI-generated articles. (Engadget)

Like Reddit, Wikipedia has as large a problem with its humans as its inhumans, but this is not intrinsically a bad idea.
Tracy Kidder, a storyteller (as he described himself) and author of the classic tech story The Soul of a New Machine about the creation of the Data General Nova minicomputer, has passed away. (The Guardian)

He was 80.
Also late is Apple's Mac Pro. (9to5Mac)

It was introduced in 2019.

Apple has indicated that there will be no future Mac Pro models, or anything to fit that gap in the market.
The Langflow visual framework for building AI workflows has of course been compromised. (Bleeping Computer)

This is not a burn-your-house-down panic situation like some recent incidents, but if you're using it, update immediately.
Don't cross the streams. (Tech Crunch)

Speaking of recent incidents, LiteLLM, which as I reported yesterday is recovering from being very thoroughly hacked, previously received two security certifications marking it as safe to use.

From Delve.
Even so, as engineer Gergely Orosz pointed out on X when he saw people snickering about it online, "Oh damn, I thought this WAS a joke. ... but no, LiteLLM *really* was 'Secured by Delve.'"
As for LiteLLM, CEO Krrish Dholakia had no comment on the use of Delve. He's still busy cleaning up the unfortunate mess from being a victim of attack.
The attack on LiteLLM was indirect via Trivy and GitHub, so users of the software probably were safe... Right up until the entire project was compromised.

I assume it was enhanced with AI, since it's apparently from the Help! movie, which was allegedly not shot with that great of a camera. As long as originals are also available, I'm glad to have a nicer-looking version (if you can ignore the text scroll that the enhancer DRMPLX put directly on the image at one point). How do other people feel about that use of the technology?

41 @31/Ben Had: "You think we have fake news. The state media in Iran is telling people that Tel Aviv has been totally destroyed."

Sure, the Israelis could counter that with actual information (like getting themselves photographed with the current day's newspaper and a perfectly intact Tel Aviv behind them) - and some are!

Better yet though, and far more amusing to me, are those Israelis who are generating memes to counter the Iranian state media showing Godzilla (or other fictitious beings) destroying Tel Aviv.

I'd love for someone to make up a really awful looking paper mache mock-up of Tel-Aviv and then go stomping about in it on video, and hold up a sign saying "We're the Iranian State Media, totally accurate, trust us bro!"

No, Rev, I'm not disagreeing with the shop's advice; I'll happily buy the new tires. My only question is, where should the new tires go. Most of my driving life (which will make a half-century next month), I'd heard the drive wheels advice, but now I get conflicting answers.

68 Wolfus, replace the tires on the driving wheels in pairs so that the drivetrain uses the same amount of torque to drive each wheel. Different tread depths (unequal wheel radius) and different treads (different coefficients of friction) will make the drivetrain work harder and out of balance.

Right. I hate to throw away a two-year-old tire, the RF, but the fronts wear faster, esp. being on the drive wheels. So it's as if the RF, though age two, is actually more than three, and the LF is over five.

Now not but last spring/summer we had roof damage from large stones hurled quite a distance from a missile impact in the area. Fixed within a few days.

In early 2024, an incoming intercepted missile scattered a rain of shrapnel over a large area. We have 2 half dollar size souvenirs on display in the house.

At present, the missile came in north of Jerusalem. So Mrs. BD and I are enjoying our coffees from the comfort of our home. First reports are the missile was intercepted and no reports yet of know damage or injured.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - March 26, 2026 [Doof]

From Earth

Greetings, Hordelings! Thanks for stopping by tonight's ONT. Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

***

Make currency great again!

Exclusive: Trump signature to appear on US currency, ending 165-year tradition

U.S. paper currency will bear ‌President Donald Trump's signature starting this summer, the first time a sitting president has signed American money, the Treasury Department said on Thursday.
The redesigned notes, planned to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, will also for the first time in 165 years drop the signature of the U.S. treasurer, who reports to the Treasury Secretary and oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the U.S. Mint and other Treasury functions.
The first $100 bills with Trump's signature and that of U.S. Treasury ⁠Secretary Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months. The new bills may take several weeks to circulate through banks.
The Treasury is still producing notes bearing the signatures of former President Joe Biden's Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, and former Treasurer Lynn Malerba.
Malerba will be the last of an unbroken line of treasurers whose signatures have appeared on U.S. federal currency since 1861, when the U.S. government first issued it.
The signature change is the latest effort by the Trump administration and its allies to put the president's name on buildings, institutions, government programs, warships and coins. A federal arts panel, whose members Trump appointed, approved last week the design for a commemorative gold coin with Trump's image.

This will make the leftists push even harder for a cashless society. I don't know about you, but I now want to go back to cash transactions even m ore now!

Dino, not sure if you've seen this...

World’s Largest Dinosaur needs a new home

Anyone in the market to take ownership of the World’s Largest Dinosaur? The 86-foot-tall, 145,000-pound Tyrannosaurus rex named Tyra resides in the small town of Drumheller in the Canadian Badlands about 84 miles northeast of Calgary. If it helps sweeten the deal, surveyors recently certified her as, “safe, stable, and ready to welcome visitors,” even after over 25 years of hosting as many as 12 guests at a time inside its mouth/viewing platform.
Taking custody of the popular tourist attraction near the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology is serious business, but the town is on a tight schedule. Last year, the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce (DDCC) announced it would end its lease on the property in 2029, leaving the fiberglass and steel dinosaur’s future uncertain. However, officials made it clear that they weren’t leaving Tyra in a lurch.
“Completing a structural assessment was identified as the first step to better understand the attraction’s condition and expected longevity, so partners could begin to explore long-term options for the dinosaur,” the Chamber of Commerce explained in an update on March 20th.
In addition to a comprehensive review of the property’s integrity, Drumheller also recently invested a final $310,000 in exterior repainting and restoration to safeguard the T. rex through her last era under town oversight.

C'mon brother -- you just GOTTA acquire this!

Got one of these laying around? Could be time to sell it!

This '80s Decor Gem Was Once In Countless Homes — Now It's A Lucky Thrift Store Find

From "Miami Vice" neons to glass block walls, there are certain interior design features that should stay in the '80s. However, fiber optic lamps are a decor gem once found in countless homes, and now becoming a lucky thrift store find as '80s-themed rooms become this year's answer to the maximalist trend. Maybe you happily unwrapped a fountain-shaped fiber optic lamp right after getting a pair of jelly shoes or cassette player for your birthday. Or perhaps your grandma had a fancy floral version sitting inside its pristine clear-and-black plastic box on her mantel. If you can still put your hands on one of them, you might be surprised to learn just how valuable vintage fiber optic lamps are today, with many selling for hundreds of dollars.
***
If you happen to spot a vintage fiber optic lamp at your local thrift store, you'll probably want to buy it even if it's not exactly your style. Authentic ones in working condition can sell for hundreds of dollars on sites like Etsy and eBay. As with many vintage pieces, size and uniqueness will play a big role in how much you can expect to spend or make. Smaller retro floral versions like grandma had may only be worth between $50 to $100. However, large fountain-style and space age-inspired designs with substantial bases typically sell for between $150 and around $350. Midcentury Modern "UFO" base lamps are listed on Etsy for over $500, and exceptionally large and detailed versions can fetch over $700.

The Fellowship of the Ring has just arrived at the Gates of Moria on the western slopes of the Misty Mountains.

As I read through the description of their approach to the gate, I'm once again in awe of the level of detail that the developers of Lord of the Rings Online have taken in crafting the details of the virtual Middle-Earth.

The outer gates of Moria and the surrounding terrain are *exactly* as described in the books.

No. Flash Gordon is a genuinely good movie. It not only does what it sets out to do, it does so with style and panache. It is a swashbuckling science fiction story and is even true to its source material.

I have some guilty pleasures in movies, but Flash Gordon isn’t one of them.

Some interesting perhaps SMOD-adjacent news. The first quarter of 2026 saw a big uptick in the number of large meteor fireballs. The biggest surge was this month, and you have may seen some videos of those. Question is if this real or some reporting artifact, and if it is real, if it is significant. Here's a report on this by the American Meteor Society, not to be confused with the American Meteorological Society, which are two very different things:

https://is.gd/aI6Q9jO

As you can see, it's complicated. But there appears to be a genuine spike in the number of large fireballs, and it's coming from the antihelion area (region of the sky opposite the sun at any given time), and also from very high declinations, meaning objects on highly inclined orbits. These are small, and don't pose any impact threat or anything.

68 The “signature on bills” thing sounds like it is being done as part of the 250th celebration. This is perfectly reasonable. I’m pretty sure the beltway crowd would prefer to ignore this patriotic and jingoistic anniversary celebration.

That lady in Maryland has more courage than the rest of the nation to call ICE before her roof was finished.

I have noticed there are not as many espanol speaking men coming to our door, leaving their cards, looking for work. A good sign!

Also, the one rental house on our street is a roofing business, and you guessed it, Hispanics. They've been very quiet since May 5, 2025 and a wild party. I hope they move when their lease is up. I guess better than Haitians eating cats.

It helped that I didn’t know how far it was, maybe. I didn’t tense up. When the wind started to roar a little bit in my ears I thought “Uh-oh … this is going to hurt” and I hit the ground right then. None the worse for wear. More than a few campers at GC and similar canyonlands have wandered off cliffs to their death getting up in the middle of the night to piss.

Also after ice storms. The sandstone hoodoos have nothing to grab onto. Horrible way to go

#MeToo

We bought this place almost 11yrs ago and remodeled the entire thing over 3yrs of subcontractors just before the plandemic. Our roofer was probably American who had illegals, as I never heard English. Roof, furnace/AC and deck were the first major stuff within months of torture to replace.

Every morning and at quitting time one roofer guy would have an operatic song at the top of his lungs. Espanol music blasting all day. I think they were done in 2-3 days, so pretty fast and no complaints. I stayed in the basement the entire time and prayed it would soon be over. Which is how I handled the gutting of our kitchen as well on the main floor.

Worth it but I doubt I could do it again. My husband replaced all of the doorknobs and hinges, so it's all ours now.

The crazy chy knee woman who sold it had it painted 40 Shades of Mustard & installed beige sort of shag carpeting before the sale. That was the first to go. The paint was different in every room and a neighbor said she hired HS kids to do it...and it showed. Hideous!
Yet I saw hope and it's lovely now.

They are cajuns, I think, in bigger bodies of water. Probably have cajun cousins who did this after I moved West.

Brothers, sons, husband,etc fish in the boat and row it to shore, haul it up and that's it. Nothing fancy, and mud is ok. My only participation in my distant youth was to drink beer in the boat with my brother.

My father tried to teach me to fish as a toddler. I have a memory of catching a fish and running up the hill with the fish and him laughing. It was a cane pole. Then he tried to get me to bait the hook and I said no and that was the end of it.

Going tomorrow for a consultation with a radiologist - one of my smaller tumors has grown a little (all of the others have stayed the same). The oncologist thinks they may be able to kill this new growth with a few sessions of radiation. Will know more after we talk with the radiologist.

The good news is that everything is still confined to my liver - no metastasis to any other parts of my body.

Oncologist says I probably have at least 6-12 more months; maybe longer, depending on how the treatment I am currently on continues to work. So far, I am still feeling fine (apart from gaining weight due to the steroids that are part of this protocol) 👍👍👍

I don't mind black cars or motorcycles, 2 of my bikes are black, but there's a lot of chrome or polished billet aluminum. Some of these bikes though are blacked out to the extreme. Black forks, black handlebars, completely black engines, oil tanks, shocks, along with the dull black satin paint. Its just too much.

Actually no it doesn't, oil is glossy. They haven't leaked since 1985 though, getting rid of the chain oilers was a major deal. Somebody at harley thought it was a good idea to have taps on the oil pump to oil the rear chain. Yeah where does it go after that, in the street, all over the bottom of the bike so it can gather in a few different areas and drop off the frame in 6 different spots. Do the owners ever adjust the oiler for minimum output? Nope, just let it drip. My 4 are all from the late 80's and earlier 90's. Never a drop under them.

There's this new semi-gloss gray on last year's cars (and this year's, I think). It's like it's intentionally trying to hide, shamed for its owner. It is so very blecch. And it's THE new car color it seems. What sort of post-modern progressive nihilist thought this was a good idea?

If I had enough money I'd put a semi-modern engine, suspension, and exhaust in a 1959 Duesenberg or something. Paint it something like candy apple red with some stripes. Or a black with lots of chrome and brass fittings to make it pop. (And a wood dashboard.)

276 "I assume he's in just as much trouble with the law either way."

I don't. Though it's impossible to know the full picture, no indications I know of that by far the most important and effective part of re-establishing rule of law in immigration - enforcement against employers - is happening at any level above the casual low level we've seen for years.

DHS does PSAs and such warning employers about enforcement. But AFAIK no chickens have been killed to scare the monkeys. Including large corporate criminals (meat-packing). A handful of raids, here and there.

Employer enforcement is not only, by far, the most effective/high leverage enforcement tool, it also is the one that *might* begin to rebuild some respect for the rule of law, if only through fear.

That sounds pretty cool. I did a bike last year, a 56 panhead chopper that a few different shades of candy greens, and we did a lot of little brass accents, like brass acorn nuts, and bolts. Instead of the stainless braided oil lines we did brass braided lines. It was pretty sharp. I wasn't sure I was going to like the brass, but it worked.

308 Evening.

So quick update on my gout which I've been complaining about from time to time.

So it's been pretty bad the last two months or so. Just keep acting up. Ends up bad enough I either can't walk or I can only painfully shuffle like a 90 year old man. Honestly, there are times I wish I had a walker. Allopurinol basically just stopped working. Taking NSAIDS has been advised against cuz of the ulcerative colitis but fuck it. But I've also noticed unlike a typical gout attack my feet don't hurt constantly. Gout flare ups are very painful whether you're on or off your feet. But right now if I'm off my feet it's like no problem. Also, I've been getting fever and chills when it starts acting up. So I'm guessing infection. Did you know gout can cause infections? I looked it up. News to me.

So I've got a tentative doctor's appointment in a week, assuming I can get home by then. But my dispatch fucked me hard and I'm stuck north of Fort Worth because they gave me the wrong fucking appointment time for a delivery. Now I have to wait until Tuesday. Cocksuckers.

Anyway, hopefully something can get done for my gout cuz this shit has been freaking unbearable.

Most likely, Count One is DWI based on erratic driving and officer observing the trinity of slurred speech, bloodshot watery eyes, and the smell of alcohol; Count Two would be driving with a BAC over 0.08;Count Three might be something like BAC over 0.15, or possibly mixing alcohol and other drugs.

I've never seen this before. Normally you either get one DUI or an aggravated DUI per stop. The breath test is mandatory by state law. It's a weird one.

328 Normally you either get one DUI or an aggravated DUI per stop.

It's just three different ways to charge basically the same offence. Even if convicted on all three, it counts as one DUI and the sentence would be for just one of the charges, not all three. At least that's how they do it in Illinois.

345 There was a cool little stray cat around here for awhile.. had a short tail, but not a tiny nub as if "born that way". Looked like it had been cut off at 3 or 4 inches length due to injury perhaps.

We (I and the nearest neighbors) called him "Bob." He was a brown tabby and very affectionate. Problem was that he'd recently sprouted balls and marked *everything* *all the time* so I could never let him indoors, though he begged and begged. Somebody dumped him out here, I think. Poor baby.

354 BeckoningChasm, poor little Bob had gotten into a fight and had deep scratches on one side that were starting to ooze.. neighbor treated him with topical antibiotic but the poor cat wasn't healing.

I took him to get scanned for chip, but nothing... and shelter was "full" they said & wouldn't accept him.

So, waited a few days and called "animal control" and THEY took him to the (local no-kill) shelter. Saw couple weeks later on their web page, Bob was available for adoption. His picture was gone in a week. I'm sure he found a nice loving home.

Who would have thought that Woody f'ing Harrison would turn out to be a great actor. Still blows my mind.
Posted by: Puddleglum at work at March 26, 2026 10:53 PM (Xr4QU)

I think my favorite was when Woody (the character) finally got laid, and everyone could tell. Half-fabricated vague memory:

"What do you mean?"
"Well... You haven't stopped smiling."
"No..."
"Yes, really."
"Okay, I'll stop."
/beat
"You're still smiling like a mad dog."

What put it over the top was the fairly obvious gentle dig at Woody (the actor) and his lack of emotive range. Plus, he was game and turned in the most solidly one-note performance of his career... but on purpose. And then had some actual dramatic expression later in the episode.

Sure, just discard this sweet animal that trusted you-- "it'll be ok out here, there's plenty of mice/birds/rats for them to eat..." and coyotes to eat them, and ferals to fight them, and raccoons to compete with them for whatever some idiots leave outside for their pets...

My own Cat appeared about that time, too. I figured he was also dumped. Little did I know, a house nearby had new occupants that he originally belonged to, but Cat decided he liked my yard better and simply moved here, LOL)

364 One cold day, after I'd let Cat out after his daily wet-food snack, I watched out the window to see where he would go. He took a quick "bath" and set off toward the yard...

Little Bob kitty came out of hiding and followed him. Probably smelled Cat's snack! So, a few steps later, Cat stopped-- turned quickly around to see Bob-- *SLAP SLAP SLAP!* and then continued on his way.

Poor little Bob sat for a moment, stunned, and then began following Cat again. *Repeat the stop/slap & walk away*

Poor Bob. Not the brightest, but at least Cat didn't go into Full Attack Mode on him. Bob finally stopped following.

We can't figure out just what cats are what. Some seem domesticated. We think they're from one of the houses nearby. Supposedly some woman feeds them and has some of her own, so the cats might be all mixed up with some being pets and some being interlopers. Some don't run from you, some keep their distance. Like they might get spooked, but don't actually go very far. Its strange. Its also why the shop owner isn't so fast to do anything with them because he don't know which ones are pets.

My neighbor has an orange cat that constantly patrols my yard. I find him everywhere. Under the pickup sleeping, on the roof of the car, in the front yard under the tree, everywhere. He has a huge range. i see him at another neighbor across the street, or walking down the 800ft driveway that goes to a farm across he street. he's everywhere, but he seems to like my yard. One day a friends daughter stopped by with her jeep because I had to look at something. She popped the hood and left it open and came inside. We went back out and there the cat was, laying on her air cleaner. He left a dead mouse outside the drivers door of mrs B's car one time. She wasn't amused. lol

27 In case it wasn't answered on the prior thread, no, senators do not require photo ID to vote. The Capitol Police memorize the new senators (assume it's the same on the high school, er, House side, dunno = plus they wear those little pins on their lapels) once they're seated after elections. Of course they've long known the incumbents, so it's not that many new faces to get to know every two years.

Senators can enter the floor from any of 3 or 4 doors. Personal and committee staff come in through one door off the big lobby next to the VP's office. This staff shows Senate photo ID to access the floor.

Voting in the Senate is from the clerk recognizing a senator who's seeking recognition for this purpose, senator then calls out aye or no. It can happen from anywhere on the floor, as long as the clerk sees them. No additional ID required.

This is all as it was forever, dunno if changed since I was there.

28 Remember when Oregon rolled out the Real ID the first time and then didn't do it because they couldn't figure out how to not issue it to illegals while registering them to vote?

No, you didn't "leave of your own accord". Let's set the record straight, there.
Rather, you Flounced Out, being driven off by the countless keyboards of enraged regulars who were well and truly sick of your shit and sick of your schtick.
And you now return, post-election, voicing the exact same rhetorical dodges, dives and what is in YOUR mind, "Socratic Questioning".

In. Your. Mind.

In our minds, in our ears, on our screens?

Same old bullshit, ever as before.

You thought the keyboards hounded you away the last time? That was the warm up act.

They've had a landslide election stolen from them, and you show up here to gloat, in your self-righteous "non-gloating" way.
Those keyboards are soon to make you, and your mental state, a far less stable place that you might ever have imagined.

38 One amusing (to me) Senate voting story from waaay back (late 80s). A federal judge was being impeached (yes, it actually used to happen). The accused sits in the well of the Senate during voting (essentially, the voting of the jury).

As usual I was sitting right next to one door, the one most used by senators entering/leaving the floor.

In walks Dave Durenberger (R-MN) - always a cheerful and friendly sort. He walks in just to the first row of senators' seats, stops, and gets the eye of the clerk. Clerk doesn't say anything. Durenberger smiles and gives a forceful "thumbs up" (= aye). Defendant (judge) slumps a bit. Sad!

Presiding officer reminds all that in impeachment votes, senators vote from their seats, and that the votes are "guilty" or "not guilty". Durenberger rushes to his seat, is recognized, stands up, "guilty". Then rushes off the floor back to whatever he was doing.

52 House uses cards and machines. Pretty sure Senate still uses "open outcry" voting, with the clerk recognizing senators. Guess I'd have to watch C-SPAN to confirm. But I doubt such a renowned and prestigious club would use something tacky like credit card machines to vote.

Recall the infamous (truly) thumbs-down McCain (spit) vote on partial O-care repeal.

Thumbs up/down was not uncommon. The clerk calls out the vote, "Mr Ace, aye". Rarely there are "present" votes where conflict of interest considerations call for it (in the senator's estimation, not a rule).

But my favorite were Bob Dole's hand signals. His most famous was the "T" time-out signal he would use to have a quorum call. Presiding officer understood the signal and proceeded with the standard "The lack of a quorum having been suggested, the clerk will call the roll".

Marjorie Taylor Greene
@mtgreenee
I’d like to congratulate two time Congressional candidate loser Laura Loomer, MIGA foreign op Mark Levin, and Neocon murdering psycho Senator Lindsey Graham for leading Republicans into slaughter going into midterms.
Your incessant lies to President Trump have destroyed all faith in the GOP.
I’d also like to remind everyone that when I led the party on the campaign trail fighting for America First in ‘22 and ‘24, all the GOP did was win win win!
But after Trump called me a traitor and said he would destroy me for releasing the Epstein files, I refuse to fight for Trump and the Republican Party that defends the Epstein class, wages pointless foreign wars, and pursues America LAST.
I never changed, Trump and the GOP betrayed their voters and took in the trash we threw out of the party.
Loomer, Levin, and Lady Lindsey are the BEST political consultants the Democrat Party could ever imagine!!!

She goes on to say that I am leading Republicans to slaughter ahead of the midterms even though I’m the one who is constantly calling out and exposing bad candidates and secret democrats who are infiltrating the GOP. I’m the one who has stayed loyal to the President while she has sided with the Radical Left and Soros funded organizations to launch attacks against President Trump on a daily basis.."

Then there is the special version tuna canned by the Israelis for the Basij;

Today. Mined cans of canned food. Photo: social network X Members of the Iranian Basij militia in the province of Fars received tuna rations that contained explosives and began to explode when they tried to open them. Iranian oppositionists are happy...

The government isn't even allowed to handle basic security threats now. Our hundred strong politburo of activist judges run everything.

But I'm fairly confident the existential trainwreck that is the judiciary and the Legal Cult crippling the country will not be materially reduced under Trump. And the bow-wave of alien indoctrinated idiotic law grads is just starting to appear. Prospects dim, getting dimmer.

The developments follow Panama’s decision earlier this year to strip Hong Kong–based CK Hutchison Holdings of its long-standing concessions to operate the Balboa and Cristóbal container terminals at either end of the canal.

He’s of Finnish extraction, among other things. His dad was a State Department guy, so he grew up in DC. Got involved with guitar during the Folk Scare in the early 60s and gave lessons to make ends meet.

Then he got involved with Jefferson Airplane. He’s a lefty though not obnoxious about it. There’s some excellent YT videos of him giving guitar lessons for many tunes, including his own. The Water Song is really fun to play, he’s an excellent instructor.

Cynical Publius
@CynicalPublius
America was nearly lost to a cabal of NGOs, think tanks, foundations, specialty media organizations, compromised mainstream media organizations, quasi-governmental organizations and all other manner of other well-funded (often with taxpayer dollars) players dedicated to preserving extra-governmental controls over the average American, all outside the scope of what Americans vote for.
The men and women behind these organizations claim to want to benevolently advance public policy, when in reality their singular purpose is to maintain and grow the nefarious personal power they have achieved. Above all else they must defend their fiefdoms, the good of the nation be damned.
When reformers try to undo any part of this cabal, those reformers are inevitably smeared, libeled, slandered and threatened. The goal is to prevent them from engaging in that necessary reform by intimidating them into silence.
Food for thought.

Of course: Some people have the right to commit felonies and you're a racist for disagreeing.

A BLM leader who was named the "Bostonian of the Year" has been ordered to pay back $224k of donations she stole after being convicted in a sweetheart deal. Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to 18 crimes but was not sent to prison. She is among a long list of BLM and leftist fraudsters who became rich on white guilt and lies.

Article here.

Speaking of people allowed to commit felonies with impunity: "Big Tish" James.

The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has again referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, proffering allegations that New York's top cop may have falsified information on her homeowner's insurance application.
...
In a letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Quinones, Pulte points to a court exhibit, an application for home insurance submitted to Ft. Lauderdale-based Universal Property Insurance, which appears to show that James claimed her Norfolk, Virginia home would be unoccupied for five months out of the year.
However, James' niece reportedly told the grand jury that she was living rent-free in the home. The niece Nakia Thompson lived there for five years while she was wanted in North Carolina for failing to complete her probation, The New York Post reported.
"[It] appears Ms. James made false representations that her property would be unoccupied five months out of the year," Pulte wrote. "According to the post, this was false. The house was, in fact, occupied year-round by her niece."
In a separate letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Pulte says that one court document shows that James appears to have claimed to Allstate, which is based in that state, that her Virginia home would only be occupied by one individual, when public reporting indicates her niece lived there with three children.
"[It] appears Ms. James made representations that the house would be occupied by a single adult, with no children. Instead, according to the post, she knew the house was actually occupied by four people - three children and her niece," Pulte wrote to U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros.
"As such, it appears Ms. James may have defrauded the Illinois-based insurance company. We kindly request you authenticate and investigate this matter, if you deem appropriate," Pulte added.

You may say this is a ticky-tack violation that is really about two parties entering a commercial transaction and that the proper punishment, if any is needed, would consist of the aggrieved party suing the other.

But that's exactly the bullshit that "Big Tish" charged Donald Trump with -- overestimating the value of his properties as collateral in seeking a loan from Deutsche Bank. (Deutsche Bank -- Nazis!)_

And she claimed that that violation was worth, checks notes, a half-billion dollar penalty for "defrauding" Deutsche Bank in a loan that Trump paid back without incident.

Chuck Schumer says he doesn't oppose asking for photo ID at the ballot box, just... proof of citizenship.

Well, our cuck Senators tested his claim out and proposed an amendment requiring photo ID (but no proof of citizenship).

All Democrats voted against it, of course.

Washington -- An amendment that would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying last week that Democrats were not opposed to such a requirement.
The amendment to the elections bill needed 60 votes to advance. It was defeated in a 53 to 47 vote.
The vote came during the second week of a marathon debate over a controversial elections bill known as the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and certain forms of photo ID to cast a ballot. The legislation does not have enough support to clear the 60-vote threshold in the upper chamber, but President Trump has dialed up the pressure on Senate Republicans to find a way to force it through.
Schumer condemned the amendment on Thursday before the vote, arguing it would "impose the single strictest voter ID law in America."
"This radical amendment would toss out every single voter ID requirement in all 50 states for federal elections and put in an overly restrictive, one-size-fits-all approach," the New York Democrat said.
GOP Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio offered the amendment, which lists valid forms of photo ID as a driver's license, state-issued identification, passport, military ID or tribal ID.
"The types of IDs that are sitting in wallets right now, that the American people use on a regular basis," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said in a floor speech Wednesday.
Ahead of the vote, Husted called the amendment "clean, simple, straightforward," adding that there are "no additional restrictions, no tricks, no games, no prohibition on absentee voting."

It's existential. They've go so far overboard because they knew they had fraud in place and would never answer to voters again. Now they have to stick it out to the bitter end. None of them won honest elections, so it doesn't matter how much support they lose. They have to hold the line till the midterms, but even that is risky because "Election Month" is going to be gone, and there will be actual federal oversight.

Plus losing candidates can sue and do discovery. So even if they hold the line, they still might suffer historic losses beyond the cheat. This is also why they want ICE to stop and keep robitically demanding the ICE promise to stay away from polling places.

50 Little known fact. A form of electoral fraud in the 1800s involved Cooping. Gangs kidnapped citizens off the street and forced them to vote, often repeatedly, for an election candidate. They would ply them with alcohol or beat them to get them to comply. Often their clothing or other aspects of their appearance would be altered to fool voting officials, enabling them to vote multiple times. Many of the victims of cooping were either homeless or immigrants

Fortunately, we wisely started requiring registration and IDs to vote...and um...ahem...er...

It was implicated in the death of Edgar Allen Poe.

"Iran says they have one million fighters primed for US Invasion."
Unless Iran has 1 million people already here and still loyal to the IRGG, IRGC whatever (ROFL) that is the silliest claim in the world. We wiped out their navy and their air force. Do they think we'll transport their troops to our shores to be sporting? LOL, the country that did a guerrilla type attack Dec 26th at dawn while our foes were drunk from their Christmas party? the USA doesn't do 'sporting' when its a war.

Olympics Committee: We Are Reserving Women's Sports For -- and This is a Genuine Twist -- Women

The policy actually isn't 100% solid. They say that men will be excluded from women's sports -- again, what an innovation -- in sports involving "strength, power, and endurance."

So that means that transgenders would be allowed to compete in... like shooting sports and ice-dancing, maybe?

Whatever.

I'm linking ESPN/AP because their tears are so unfathomly delicious.

GENEVA -- Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy Thursday that aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

They're all crying about that -- that this policy aligns with the Bad Orange Man's executive order, so, of course, this is a corrupt decision made by cowards who Hate Transwomen and want to Erase Their Existence.

I just turned into Pinhead the Cenobite. Your pain, your pain is exquisite!

"Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females," the International Olympic Committee said, to be determined by a mandatory gene test once in an athlete's career.

How I howl in ecstasy! Your excrutiations thrill me to the marrow!

It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. No woman who transitioned from being born male competed at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, though weightlifter Laurel Hubbard did at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 without winning a medal.
The eligibility policy that will apply from the L.A. Olympics in July 2028 "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category," the IOC said.

I just leveled up this Lament Configuration. I unlocked the Drink the Blood of Your Soul Achievement.

"It is not retroactive and does not apply to any grassroots or recreational sports programs," said the IOC; its Olympic Charter states that access to play sport is a human right.
After an executive board meeting, the IOC published a 10-page policy document that also restricts women athletes such as two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya with medical conditions known as differences in sex development, or DSD.

Like that Iranian boxer who had a Y chromosome but claimed he was a woman because his genitals were improperly formed?

How delicious! Your cries for mercy echo sweetly in my ears!

The IOC and its president, Kirsty Coventry, have wanted a clear policy instead of continuing to advise sports' governing bodies, which previously have drafted their own rules.
"At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat," Coventry, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, said in a statement. "So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category."

ohhh ahhhh ooooh

I just made a mess on my Lament Configuration. Is it supposed to buzz and blink? I think I broke the hellgate.

I'm still "game," if you know what I mean.

But there's no way I can go again. This isn't college.

Wait -- what's this? An article from NPR! Let's see if they can "inspire" me!

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will ban transgender athletes from competing in women's events, based on the results of mandatory genetic screening.

MANDATORY GENETIC SCREENING! WHOOO, REFRACTORY PERIOD BE GONE! I'M FLYING LIKE AN ENGORGED HELLBAT AGAIN!

The topic of transgender participation in sports -- from school teams to the world stage -- has been a cultural flashpoint in recent years, though it's unclear how many transgender women currently compete at the Olympic level.

Ah, we went from "it's not happening" to "it's good that it's happening" and now back to "it's not happening" again. They were forced to retreat.

Every nerve in my body is ringing like a guitar string strummed by a Heavy Metal Godling.

Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard made history as the first openly transgender woman to do so in Tokyo in 2021, though no woman who transitioned after being assigned male at birth is known to have participated in an Olympics since.
Nevertheless, controversy ballooned in Paris 2024 when right-wing politicians and commentators called into question the sexes of two female boxers who had been previously disqualified from boxing world championships after failing eligibility tests. One of them was cleared for competition after approval last week, while the other -- who has repeatedly identified herself as a cisgender woman -- is challenging the World Boxing testing requirement in court.

I like how they refuse to say why this person would object to a genetic test. You can tell from implication, but they cannot bring themselves to write it out.

SING! SING TO ME OF YOUR BLESSED DAMNATION!

While the accusations were not proven true, they sparked a global debate over gender eligibility and prompted the IOC to begin the review that led to this policy. The IOC says the new rule is based on scientific evidence and "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category."

Um, what about the court that found the Iranian boxer was indeed a male? Just because you refuse to say it doesn't mean that it's not true.

But experts say the testing raises a multitude of concerns.

EXPERTS! EXPERTS! AH YES, WHAT I WAS MISSING WAS "EXPERTS!"

I'VE GOT THE LAMENT CONFIGURATION IN FUCKED-UP POSITIONS IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR!

There are questions about the reliability and cost of the testing...

LOL, the most basic blood test in the world is unfair because of "costs."

This is like when they claim you can't tell someone's a dude without "reaching under her skirt and feeling her genitals." Um, yeah, except athletes have to routinely take blood tests to show they're not taking performance enhancing drugs. That blood can be tested cheaply for chromosomes as well.

Your anguish is intoxicating.

I just started a Tumblr account under the name "PIN-DADDY."

...as well as the interpretation and finality of its results.

We have to "interpret" the results of a test that has two possibilities: XX chromosomes or XY. There's so much line-drawing needed! It's like a Rorschach test -- you only see what you bring to it!

Critics of the policy say it invades the privacy of all women, and that it discriminates against intersex people whose reproductive or sexual anatomy do not fit binary definitions of male or female.

I JUST BECAME A 20th-LEVEL CENOBITE

I CAN NOW SUMMON HELLDRAGONS WITH A MAGIC WHISTLE

AND THAT WHISTLE IS THIS REPORTER'S SKULL

And even though the IOC says its policy does not apply to "grassroots or recreational" sports programs, some experts told NPR they fear it could affect more than just Olympic hopefuls.
"If a woman suspects that she might not pass this screening, she might be deterred from pursuing sport altogether," said Jaime Schultz, a sports historian and professor of kinesiology at Pennsylvania State University. "It doesn't just affect the people that are being tested, but it affects all women athletes."

Yeah but it mostly affects the male "women athletes," wouldn't you say? Not so much the female women athletes.

Whew! That was hot. That was sexual fire, baby.

Now I have to clean this puzzle box off and get it back to Pinhead before he realizes it's missing.

81 > If a woman suspects that she might not pass this screening, she might be deterred from pursuing sport altogether

"Women" don't suddenly decide to "pursue sport" and compete in the Olympics. Most of those people at the Olympics started pursuing sport at 3-5 years of age. We call 3-5 year old females, "girls." At that age, they're not deciding to pursue sport based on whether or not they can pass some genetic test at the Olympics.

IF they show ridiculous promise, they're going to look for a high level coach, and that coach is most likely going to cost many orders of magnitude more than a genetic test.

92 Ace, the anti-doping effort on the international sports stage is unbelievably expensive. They spend something like $5,000/test/athlete, and some of them are tested multiple times/year.

The idea that this is in any way difficult is laughable. As you point out, simple testing for XX or XY chromosomes is cheap. They can do PCR testing for $25.

In Hellraiser II Pinhead explicitly lets the young woman who opened the box off the hook. She was simply acting as a conduit for the psychologist who was "treating" her.

My buddy did an olympic sailing campaign for the Brazil olympics. He got so sick after one of the qualifying events in the mega-polluted bay there that he missed 2 months of practice and didn't recover physically in time to really compete at the level he was capable of.

He said they would sail past the dead carcasses of animals regularly on their way from the docks to the race course.

129 Honestly, I'm disappointed at this decision. The most entertaining thing about Olympic women's sports is when a half-disguised male gets in there and screws it all up. I don't sit on my porch hoping for a car crash. BUT, I wouldn't look away if one happened.

I was, secretly, hoping that just about every female World and Olympic record would be compromised by the cosplaying males who couldn't make it competing against their own sex. It's hard to prolong an interest in women's sports. But, I'd watch an entire race if some guy trashed the whole field and then pretends that it's perfectly normal. It's good for my self-esteem to realize just how may retards are running around out there.

Side Note: I'm beginning to think that the Oversized Power Glasses were someone's idea of a great practical joke. Something like bellbottoms was in the 70's.

During 'A Serbian Film' yesterday, full 144 minute version. I started thinking they were trying too hard - doing things even muslims wouldn't do. It was like Hollywood film-makers doing their best to piss off Catholics imagining the big box-office dollars.

Later, I was reading up on it and that was the point of the film. They were protesting EU censorship and how only 'nice' Serbian movies would get funding. So they made the most offensive movie possible. But if you figure it out or know why, much less disturbing.

Precisely because it's not real. So it's fake being scared or something. I never cared for it.

However, drama has it's place. I mean is "Jaws" a horror movie or just riveting drama?

184 The altar boys are lined for confession.

The first one goes in.

"Father, I've committed an impure act with one of my female classmates."

"Was it Bridget Flaherty?"

"I'm sorry, Father. I can't say."

"Was it Maureen O'Shaughnessy?"

"I'm sorry, Father. I can't say."

"Was it Caitlin Murphy?"

"I'm sorry, Father. I can't say."

"What you did was wrong, but I do admire your loyalty. Pray the rosary 10 times, and I'm not going to let you help at Mass for a month."

The altar boy leaves. His companions ask "What did you get?"

"A month off and three good prospects."

What I really enjoyed was The Argument I Would Always Win But People Wanted To get Into Anyway. It went like this: I was told that I needed gas mask inserts. I said "No, I can see fine without them. My vision is impaired on one side, when I am not wearing glasses I rely on the one good eye." (Truth.) I am then told that I WILL WEAR MY GAS MASK INSERTS OR ELSE. I say again "You are wasting taxpayer's money. Don't make them for me. I can see fine. If I can't I will let you know immediately." This goes back and forth for however long...

And eventually I hear "yeah, it has been determined your vision isn't bad enough to warrant inserts." Me: "Toldya".

They can complain all they want but when it comes to women-type things (fashion, beauty standards, education, social power, feminism, etc.) white Western women have been leading the way around the world for a few millennia now, at least back to the Greeks & Romans.

Only recently have East Asian & African-American women had any influence world-wide. That's mostly thanks to K-Pop, J-Pop and Hip-Hop & Rap and those ladies are copying and iterating on Western female standards themselves.

From John Konrad's excellent X essay on anger:

The great irony: people consuming and sharing these shortcuts believe they're saving time and thought. They end up consumed by it. The shortcut doesn't conserve cognitive energy. It injects a slow-burning emotional cost that has to be serviced continuously. You have to keep feeding the assumption. Keep reinforcing the story. Keep the anger alive, because if it dies, you'd have to go back and actually read those three pages of policy analysis you skipped.

Yeah, so in addition to not getting BCGs, I also didn't get inserts. So putting on my pro mask left me effectively blind, lost in a world of blurs. During the FTX, we're moving through the woods and we hit a place where there was a small fire, all blackened and we stop, turn to the drill sergeant who says nothing, and then we all are like "GAS! GAS! GAS!" and fumble for our masks, and now I'm blind, and have to hang on something LBE strap as we stumbled forward to the other side. Finally the drill sergeant is able to stop laughing long enough to shout "ALL CLEAR!"

"Hellraiser
is widely regarded as a queer horror classic, rooted in the sensibility of its openly gay creator, Clive Barker, and his exploration of kinky, transgressive sexuality. The franchise is celebrated for incorporating sadomasochistic themes, queer subtext, and breaking heteronormative standards, rather than focusing on a single gay character"

In the 2022 Hellraiser reboot, Pinhead was portrayed by trans actress Jamie Clayton to honor the androgynous, non-binary, and ethereal nature of the Cenobites in Clive Barker's original novella, The Hellbound Heart. The filmmakers wanted to create a fresh, "darker" interpretation, separating the new performance from Doug Bradley’s iconic male portrayal.

I had a massive screwup in basic that I now look back on and laugh. There was a small brick building filled with tear gas… we all had to go in with our gas masks… well I didn’t properly seal mine so after 5 seconds in there I can’t breathe…. I panic and run for the door. The drill sargent tries to block me but I’m so panicked I just run right over him in my desperation to breathe. He didn’t even punish me…. He looked at me on my knees retching and probably figured that was punishment enough. I laugh now but it wasn’t funny in the moment. Moral of the story - Seal your gas mask properly stupid!

By 2000 the big issue was cadre sleeping with trainees, and they had all sorts of rules about not touching trainees at all, instead directed other privates to adjust gear. The females had their own floor, which was on the top floor in the previous cycle, but they lowered bedsheets down and they guys climbed up during the night and got freaky. They were dimed out by the one chick who couldn't find a date.

During my cycle they had to Article 15 a few couples, but the smart ones waited until we were in the woods, though that sex would have been gruesome after a road march and sleeping in a hole.

And by the fucking way, if their test comes up XY they can still fucking compete...against the men. And since men and woman are equal, and anything a man can do a woman can do better, this should be no problem, eh?

The 83-Year-Old Veteran Pushed Into the Subway Tracks by an Illegal Alien With a Long Criminal History Has Now Died of His Injuries

RIP.

You defended our country, but our country refused to defend you.

He wasn't actually hit by a subway -- another man was also pushed into the subway tracks, and he ignored his own pain to get the 83-year-old veteran on to the platform before a train could run them over.

But when an 83-year-old takes a headlong fall into a seven foot trench filled with hard steel tracks, he's probably not going to survive.

This happened in Manhattan -- Soros DA Alvin Bragg's fiefdom.

The 83-year-old US Air Force veteran who was randomly shoved onto the subway tracks by an illegal migrant on the Upper East Side has died from his injuries -- and his alleged killer has been charged with murder.
Grandfather Richard Williams succumbed to his injuries March 17 after he was allegedly pushed onto the tracks with another man while waiting for a train at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station just before noon March 8, authorities and sources said.
His alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 at a homeless shelter -- and his charges have been upgraded to second-degree murder following Williams' death, court records show.

Second-degree murder in NY is the equivalent of first degree murder in most jurisdictions. They reserve first degree murder for murders of cops and judges and public officials. It's not great, but this isn't the second degree murder you're probably thinking of.

Prosecutors had said Williams was "brain-dead," and Williams' daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to pull through.
The medical examiner declared his death a homicide.
John Pena, 30, was also shoved onto the tracks by Hernandez but ignored his own injuries and heroically helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before a train rolled into the station.
Chilling cellphone footage of the attack, apparently shot by Pena from the train tracks, shows the suspect casually strolling along the platform after pushing both men onto the subway bed.
Prosecutors had previously said Williams was left "brain-dead" and his daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to "wake up."
She declined to comment Thursday on her father's death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide.
Williams' daughter previously had some choice words for the accused murderer.
"I want him to go to the Venezuela prison, the worst place he could go to," she said. "I want him to suffer for the rest of his life. Prison justice would be appropriate."
Williams, a retired Air Force pilot, had just won a five-year battle with prostate cancer six months ago and had found a new lease on life, she said.

...
Hernandez is a "serial criminal" with a lengthy rap sheet of at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.

Maybe the two men thrown in front of a subway by a serial criminal illegal alien were just in the "wrong place at the wrong time"?

Regarding the Chicago Alderman who said that Sheridan Gorman was "in the wrong place at the wrong time," minimizing the fact that an illegal alien who actually was in the wrong place -- get the f*** out of my country -- murdered her for nothing.

This Alderwoman claimed Sheridan Gorman "startled" her killer. See, she shouldn't go startling illegal aliens out hunting co-eds. The onus was on her to not startle the illegal alien.

Alderman Maria Hadden has temporarily closed her office because she claims conservatives are calling & threatening her.

A shattered family from New York is trying to figure out how to get their daughter's body back home from Chicago after she was executed by an illegal. A wife is in labor right now without her husband by her side because he was killed in a fire set by a repeat criminal in Chicago. Dozens of "teens" terrorized parts of the city last night.
Pay attention to what state and city leaders--especially those who think they can run Chicago--are talking about and posting on social media. If you see meaningless posts about snow plows, March Madness, and e-scooters, you have a right to be furious at their cowardice, their fecklessness, and even worse, their inhumanity at this moment.

This is the easiest, simplest way imaginable to reduce crime rates in your city - ship out 2,00 people who are not citizens and who commit crimes.

You also reduce your costs, because I have little doubt each and every one is a burden on city welfare services. My guess is you'll save $20 million a year.

Not true. I used to do criminal sentencing work and the fact is that illegals got it easy for a long time now despite federal criminal charges. They often got undeserved downward departures from the federal sentencing guidelines because they and their families would get deported otherwise.

Ended up in a weird quirk where Hispanics did best under the Federal Sentencing Regulations than any other demographic because of it. Most of the charges were related to drug dealing.

Based on the economic impacts we are seeing with Trump's deportations it looks like maybe 10% of illegals have some non-crime type job.

This will serve the purposes of the Democrats as an uninformed, ignorant electorate is exactly what they need to pursue their power grab.
And the Project 2029 will proceed to band sites like this one, make opposition to the Progressive Agenda a "hate crime" and the American Experiment will follow Spain, England and the rest of Europe into a new Dark Age.

110 NYC has a lower homicide rate than most states is a lie. NYC homicide rate is 1.2 times the national rate. And that is straight from the NYC government webpage.

Add in the fact that in NYC the police are prohibited from officially reporting murders until they go through the review process. Most murders are not reported to the fib as murders.

The government builds more houses and pays for them.

Oh, here is another fun one. I saw a news story go by arguing that the reason housing was affordable in the past is that it let people build triple deckers and other cheap crowded housing anywhere and the question was why can't we just do it now? And the answers, from other liberals were hilarious:

1) That violates the Americans with Disability Act! I can't climb two flights of stairs!

2) I really don't think that would fit in with my parent's suburban neighborhood and its already too crowded here anyway

121 The unspoken secret of AWFLs and suburban liberals in general is that they've used the euphemism of "affordable housing" to mean exporting ghettos to new areas for so long that when a developer actually brings forward a plan as innocuous as 1400sq ft ranches on 8000 sq ft lots, they immediately shoot it down for the most specious of reasons.
They created a fear of affordable housing by supporting the bastardized definition of the phrase.

I did not see that thread, but I've seen plenty of evidence. What blew my mind was one guy, I think the judge was trying to explain the seriousness of the offense to him, why he was being sentenced the way he was. I forget what it was, so imagine it was something like driving drunk, speeding, at night, blowing stoplights, on the wrong side of the street, and the judge was trying to explain that IF someone HAD BEEN going the other way, he WOULD HAVE caused a brutal head-on collision. And he simply couldn't grasp it. "But I didn't hit nobody!"

He could get up, get dressed, and even drive a car (badly). But he couldn't grasp unactualized endangerment, because to him the counterfactual was a lie, not a hypothetical that COULD HAVE happened. Literally retarded, and behind the wheel, armed (with a motor vehicle) and dangerous.

Add that to the estimated 20 million that were already here and we have about 40 million illegals living in this country. We are talking well over 10% of our population is illegals and they consume a tremendous amount of public welfare benefits.

This will serve the purposes of the Democrats as an uninformed, ignorant electorate is exactly what they need to pursue their power grab.
And the Project 2029 will proceed to band sites like this one, make opposition to the Progressive Agenda a "hate crime" and the American Experiment will follow Spain, England and the rest of Europe into a new Dark Age.

Operation Sorry, Charlie: Reports Claim Israel Packs Explosives Into Canned Tuna Intended for Revolutionary Guards Forces, Kills At Least Five, Injures Dozens, Puts Many Off Fish Forever

Iran's winning so much they're getting tired of all the winning!

Before the Food-Borne Illness Attack: Iran's Naval chief, in charge of shutting down the Strait of America and harassing ships and killing people for the past decade has himself been
"opened" by Israeli missiles.

The elite Iranian naval commander who authorized the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to ship traffic was killed in an Israeli airstrike along with the service's top intelligence official, the Jewish state's military announced Thursday.
Alireza Tangsiri, leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N), was eliminated in an overnight strike on the fleet's home port of Bandar Abbas, Defense Minister Israel Katz said during a morning assessment alongside military officials.
Tangsiri, 64, became the latest high-profile Iranian official to have been rubbed out after the assassinations earlier this month of IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini, the regime's de facto leader Ali Larijani, and Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the paramilitary Basij forces.
Katz said the strike was meant to send a "message" to the IRGC: "The IDF will hunt you down and eliminate you one by one."
In a separate statement, Adm. Brad Cooper, the leader of US Central Command (CENTCOM), said Tangsiri's death "makes the region safer" and called on members of the IRGC-N to "immediately abandon their post and return home to avoid further risk of unncecessary injury or death."
"Since the commencement of Operation Epic Fury, 92% of the large ships in the Iranian Navy have been eliminated," Cooper noted. "As a result, IRGC-N has completely lost their ability to project power in the Middle East or around the world. Now, with the loss of their long-time leader, the IRGC-N is on an irreversible decline."

The media will be quick to celebrate this, as it only proves that Drumpf! and his Puppet-Master Netanyahu are "getting desperate" and are isolated because they "have no Iranians left to lie to."

In further proof that the Islamic Occupiers of Iran are moving from strength to strength: They're now recruiting child soldiers to man the Basij checkpoints because the adult Basij thugs have either been killed or are refusing to stand at the checkpoints.

So Iran will staff them with 12-year-old Li'l Basij guards, and if we kill them, Iran will claim "The Americans and Jews are murdering innocent children for just manning army checkpoints we are too cowardly to man ourselves."

An official from Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the minimum age for participation in war-related support roles has been lowered to 12, according to remarks aired on state media.
Rahim Nadali, a cultural official with the Guards in Tehran, said an initiative called "For Iran" was recruiting participants to assist with activities such as patrols, checkpoints and logistics.
"Given that the age of those coming forward has dropped and they are asking to take part, we lowered the minimum age to 12," he said, adding that 12- and 13-year-olds could now take part if they wished.
The comments were broadcast as part of state coverage of the war effort.
The move comes despite Iran's commitments under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits the use of children in military activities.

Truly the Islamic Occupiers of Iran should be proud of their honorable and courageous service.

The Economist should be so proud, too:

The Economist is Real Media, Mr. President.

Before Glenn Greenwald and his ass-puppet Tucker Carlson say that the reports of Brave Gay Mullahs recruiting 12 year olds as child thugs are "just Jew Cabal Propaganda," Islamic Occupier state TV reported on the recruitment of children as young as 12 to be "Defenders of the Homeland."

Supposedly, we're now flying drones designed to look like eagles. I don't mean overrated soft-rock clowns, I mean the physical embodiment of American power.

May the wings of liberty never lose a feather, Jack.

Now, for the food can attack. Only five are known to be dead, but that number may rise. "Dozens" were injured by the exploding cans.

I can't confirm this, and no "reputable" media (LOL) has confirmed it. But Mahyar Tousi ran it, and that's good enough for me.

This account, which seems to be an Iranian propaganda site, accidentally confirms the attack, even though they make up stories about US and Israeli warplanes "dropping" the cans of explosive tuna on to poor civilians.

Sure. We're dropping cans of fucking tuna out of bombers. Sure.

American and Israeli warplanes carried out a new attack in parts of southern Iran by dropping explosive devices disguised as food cans over civilian areas in Shiraz, killing several residents and injuring others.

According to field reports, the devices were released over the southern outskirts of Shiraz, particularly around Kafri village, where several civilians were killed. The attack came after the enemy's failure to achieve its objectives through earlier military strikes, in what local sources described as a blind and criminal act targeting populated areas.

The suspicious objects were described as resembling ready-made food cans and being slightly larger than standard tuna tins. The devices contain explosive material and are designed to detonate when opened or handled, making them especially dangerous to unsuspecting civilians.

Videos circulating on social media show urgent warnings instructing residents not to approach, touch, or attempt to open the objects. Citizens have been strongly advised to keep a safe distance, avoid gathering near any suspicious device, and immediately report its exact location to security and intelligence authorities.

The explosive cans of tuna are designed to blow up if "opened or handled," but they... did not blow up after being dropped from bombers to the ground?

A video which some claim ran on Iran state TV and others claim is unverified from unknown sources shows them safely exploding one of the cans.

69 I know it's very routine for me to walk around my neighborhood and see cans of tuna laying around and of course my first instinct when I see them is to pick them up and attempt to eat the contents! So yeah... it makes perfect sense that the IDF would drop cans of tuna from the sky and just know that civilians would pick them up. They also solved the non-trivial problem of getting these cans to not explode when dropped from 30,000 feet when they hit the ground but then explode when a human hand applies 1 pound of force... no problem!

They absolutely did. However, they also gave the kids a blanket to wear into the minefield so that when they were blown to bits, it would be easier and less traumatic for the others to retrieve the bits of their friends. The mullahs were considerate that way.

I watched a documentary at one point in time and I came away with the opinion that Glen Frey was a real dick... he would mercilessly whale away at Felder (and other band members); on one occasion they were arguing on stage DURING a concert and almost came to blows backstage afterwards. He was a real control freak... but no denying the songwriting talent

I like the contrast. Islamic murderers using indiscriminate pressure-cooker IEDs to kill any Jews or other infidels they can find and Israel using sophisticated explosives smuggled into to target specific malefactors.

Couldn't highlight the differences between the Western world and the backwards demon-worshippers any better.

A couple of days ago, some Iranian cocksucker mullah was whining about how the Americans and Joos won't come down and fight face to face, like men.

Reminds me of Pappy Boyington flying against the Japanese. They got on the radio once and in perfect English and procedure asked for his position (trying to set him up for an ambush). He gave them the position, but altered so that Pappy and his pilots could themselves spring an ambush. Next day, the Japs tried again, but he couldn't resist laughing. The Jap intel officer got frustrated and told him "well, why don't you come down here, tough guy?"

Pappy did. Flew down alone and strafed the shit out of the airfield, and transmitted "Okay, I came down to you. Why don't you come up to meet ME." The Japs declined.

Ukraine has been accused of such in its war with Russia.

There have been child soldiers in all the Great Wars; unfortunately in so very many wars.

Vietnam with its trip bombs & other weapons with women & children engaged in fighting.

Even now, Africa accounts for approximately 40% of the world’s child soldiers, with tens of thousands of boys and girls recruited by armed groups and government forces in nations like South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Often abducted or driven by poverty, these children serve as combatants, messengers, and lookouts. (AI Overview)

241 "and the band didn't sue, whoever owned the rights to the song sued. And I don't know if they won or lost, but eventually, maybe on appeal, he won. (or "won," because lawsuits are grueling.)"

As I recall the circs, while still in CCR Foggerty sold rights to all his hits to manager/producer Zantz and after sobering up (somewhat) regretted it. After he went solo, for years he would not play any of the aforementioned hits. In his first solo album, Foggerty included a piece, "Vanz kant danz." Zantz sued for ldefamation and won. Zantz also sued for copyright violation for another song on that album, claiming it was a steal from "Run Through the Jungle," that Zantz owned by that time. Foggerty won that case.

242 That Life cereal ad never made sense to me. The kids aren't sure they want to eat the new cereal so their solution is to... give it to Mikey, the kid who hates everything. Why would you do that??

________

The background is that Life was marketed as "good for you," and the two kids assumed that meant it tasted like shit. So they fed it to Mikey because neither of them want to try it. The punchline is that if a kid who "hates everything" likes a healthy cereal, then it must taste great.

265 On the subject of breakfast cereal marketing, the vast majority was not intended to convince kids that it tasted good. Most of the cereals of the day were so high in sugar and flavor additives they were basically sweet desserts. Kids ate it like candy. No need to convince them of anything.

The advertising was aimed at moms and tried to convince them the piles of sugar they set in front of their kids every day was actually good for them. Hence all the bullshit and hype about vitamins and minerals added to these cereals.

Seriously. I pretty much liked all cereal as a kid. Wheaties, Life, Captain Crunch, Corn Flakes, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, even Grape-nuts. Kix I never understood. Even with sugar, all the sugar did was enhance the nothingness of the flavor, and the texture was neither crunch nor soft.

369 Wiki coverage of Henley,

Henley was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and drug possession, eventually pleading no contest, receiving a $2,500 fine, and serving two years of probation.

While Henley claimed he did not know the girl's age and had no sexual contact with her, the incident involved a prostitute who had overdosed, leading to a media frenzy.

Incident Date: November 20-21, 1980
Charges: Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of cocaine, Quaaludes, and marijuana
Outcome: Two years probation, $2,500 fine, drug diversion program

Of Course: Pete Buttigieg Permitted Trucker Schools to "Self-Certify" That They Were Qualified to Instruct People In How to Drive Many-Ton Trucks on Our Highways

I think he said the cost for opening a "school" was $800. You paid $800, "self-certified" yourself as qualified, and you could start "training" drivers.

Oh, and of course they ignored the law requiring English language proficiency for drivers.

This is a pretty accurate take on what I see people posting on leftwing sites.

64 If I asked you how many CDL schools there were in the USA, what would your answer be? Mine would be a few thousand at most.

But by some estimates, there are over 20,000 of them in the country. There are at least 16,000 "registered" ones.

That is an insane amount of CDL schools. By contrast, there are only about 5,000 colleges in the country. And those colleges have 20 million or so students enrolled. There are only about 3.5 million CDL truck drivers in the country.

So there are 4x as many CDL schools serving a small fraction of the students as colleges are. What possible reason could there be for this? This is a yuge scandal in and of itself.

71 I take a route home from work and travel through the same intersection every time.

It's a merge onto a freeway frontage road, where the road is 1 lane and the incoming lane gets it's own continuing lane. There's a sign there that shows one lane becoming 2 lanes, so you don't have to yield or stop, you can just drive in your continuing lane.

People stop there ALL THE TIME if there's a vehicle in the other lane.

Drives me nuts. You need more than ONE LANE to continue onto the now 2 lane road?

I don't know about all of the other CDL schools but when I started my class there were about 30 of us. When we finished there were 8 left.

Granted my school was legitimate and actually did the crazy stuff like drug and alcohol testing on an almost daily basis and made us pass the state mandated driving test 3 times before they would certify us to take the actual state road test.

I am not sure how a fake CDL school can get a person a CDL unless the state in engaged in some serious kick backs or fraud.

So what did the wealthy leftist town do? They get a half a dozen stoplights placed on the main artery that passed through their town so traffic stopped to a crawl for the 1 or 2 cars going the other way at those lights.

But this only worked for so long...when GPS came out guess what it directly me and everyone else to do? Drive through the side roads in their town.

Oh the fun! Suddenly it became a problem that people were stuck in gridlock...in their town instead of on the outskirts. Walking the dog or driving to Starbucks was now no longer a simple affair.

101 "I think he said the cost for opening a 'school' was $800. You paid $800, 'self-certified' yourself as qualified, and you could start 'training' drivers."

Ace, I listened to Duffy and think he was talking about the cost of the CDL license from these sham schools, not the cost of opening a school. That is consistent with other reporting that you could pay $800 to $1,200 to one of these "schools," and they hand you a certificate that you are qualified for CDL.

$800 for a CDL course is itself a red flag. Reputable CDL schools charge 5x to 10x more than that.

108 There are, or were, a bunch of legal loopholes that permitted over the road trucking companies to setup an office in Mexico. Recruit and "train" drivers there. Register the trucks there. Pay the minimal taxes there. But DoT regs permitted the trucks to run on US highways.

If those get delt with, the regulations, and this practice becomes more difficult or expensive, then we'll see some real change.

Right now, it's whack-a-mole with the drivers. And they're increasingly finding back roads to avoid those pesky authorities. I see them here, running the back roads to get from KY into IN or TN without hitting a weigh station.

Anyway one day during the election season he starts going on and on about RFK and starts getting angry with me that there are people who "don't believe in vaccines". He said "my kids have to go to school with their kids!!"

I said so why don't you care that Democrats are letting in millions of illegals, none of whom are vaccinated or tracked. I never see you getting angry about them but your kids are going to school with them. In fact all you usually do is defend them.

Three months later he voted Trump.

I have decided that the Dems wanted Trump to win. They sacked Biden and ran Kamala just to be sure. None of this matters to their voters and I doubt any of this has changed a single vote. Thune and the Senate will have more impact than these revelations.
Why have Trump win?
They will say that they have given the voters what they wanted good and hard.

His hire is the latest in a steady drumbeat of big names that Buttigieg has brought on, with the campaign telling Axios to expect other personnel announcements in the coming days."

Halle, former husband to Tara McGowan, a Soros' favorite. McGowan is an American Democratic political strategist and former journalist. She is the founder and/or co-founder and CEO of multiple organizations.

Family tries to stop; government refuses. 9) Apparently tried to stop/delay execution. Gov said, No, because her organs are already promised for harvesting, and the slaughter has to happen now. 10) Government butchers her and takes her organs for someone more deserving.

Once the demographics increase to some unspecified level in the future, tribalism will take over and the people who are in charge NOW are going to lose their jobs to their replacements.

Trans Illegal Alien Rapes 14-Year-Old Boy, Gets Sweetheart Deal for No Jail Time from Soros DA who Persecuted Trump (and of course Probably Won't Even Be Deported)

He just wants to breathe.

Why won't you let him breathe, Bigot?

An illegal trans immigrant admitted Tuesday to molesting a 14-year-old boy inside the bathroom of a Manhattan bodega last year -- but won't have to do any more time behind bars.
Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian immigrant who was born male, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape in Manhattan Supreme Court for sexually assaulting the teen in East Harlem last year and was promised a sentence of just six months -- which has already been served.

That is, he was held in jail pre-trial, and the judge sentenced him to "time served" already -- meaning, he waltzes out of the courtroom, free to rape another child.

That means the creep will be free to go at sentencing on April 27 -- unless federal immigration agents are there to slap on the cuffs again to deport them.

And of course the Soros DA will attempt to hide him from ICE.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said the resolution was reached in close consultation with the victim's family, sparing the teenager from having to testify to both the grand jury and over several days at trial.
"We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction," a spokesperson for the DA's Office said in a statement.

We'll see.

So this is one of those Mostly Peaceful illegal aliens who didn't commit any crimes before raping a child.

Well, he committed a whole bunch of "non-violent" crimes, but illegal aliens are allowed to commit those, right?

Suarez, who was already wanted in Massachusetts on robbery, prostitution, and weapons charges, followed the teenager into a bodega across the street from Thomas Jefferson Park on Feb. 11, 2025, and raped him, according to prosecutors.

Robbery is theft by force or coercion -- mugging with a gun, for example --and I imagine the gun charges are related to the robbery.

But non-violent, I'm sure.

Maybe it wasn't "rape-rape"...?

Nope, the boy ran out of the bathroom after his rape and screamed for help:

The young victim flagged down bystanders after the attack. Suarez was arrested the next day and charged.
Officials at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement later obtained a detainer to take the sex fiend into custody for deportation once the criminal case is done.
"This creep should've never been released into our country," Tricia McLaughlin, then-Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, said in a statement after the arrest.

It's unbelievable. And if you think the Soros DA will honor that detainer, you're a more trusting soul than I am.

They had adopted three siblings, whose mother had been abused for years by their father. He eventually killed her when he discovered she was planning to take the children and leave.
He cut her throat so deep she was nearly beheaded.
Her body was discovered by the oldest, then a young teen.
By the time he came to trial, she was 16, and next sib 14.
They very much wanted to testify, because they knew that someday he would come after them if he ever had a chance.
The Soros CA refused to let them speak on the grounds of that fake compassion (this while she was prosecuting the dad of the trans-raped girl), and the family who adopted the kids had to go to court on their behalf, at their request, to secure their right to testify.
These are the people, the Soros tools, who need to summarily meet a lamppost or woodchipper.

This assumes there is such a thing as "trans" which has an ever-changing definition based entirely on the subjective needs of the person claiming the status. And it's usually a circular or reflexive definition - "anyone who identifies as trans" - much like they'll say "anyone who identifies as a woman" is a woman. We are reaping the post-modernist linguistic whirlwind.

107 Remember when the left insisted that America, and college campuses in particular, was a "rape culture?"
Anything was sexual assault. Asking a girl out was assault. Two people getting drunk together and having sex was sexual assault on the guy's part. Some chick with a mattress on her back was a guest at the SotU, iirc.

Bodegas are small, locally owned corner stores that mostly have the same things as gas station stores and a few staple food items. Grocery stores are larger and more food centric.

A grocery store is usually a chain of stores that is rather large.
A bodega usually has a single owner and the store is smaller than a 7/11. And nowhere near the selections and choices.

At least from everything I've seen.

The human condition is to worry, it is to have anxiety, it is to have doubt. Nobody escapes that no matter how much you believe in Him. It’s only a matter of degrees. It’s why He told us not to worry, for why would He say that if it wasn’t a simple truth. What He wants from us is to not yield to it. That we can do. Never yield to fear, embrace it knowing tha He is with us. He will never leave us, even when we think He isn’t there. He never rests. Never fails. All is done according to His will.

>> So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Restorative Justice. First for kids, now spreading throughout adult convictions.

For example, see NYSDA org: Restorative Justice.

Here's Philly's restorative Justice theories: Restorative justice in Philadelphia focuses on community healing and accountability over punishment through diversion programs for youth and adults, aiming to reduce recidivism and address harms like sexual violence. Key initiatives include the Healing Futures program for youth, the Restorative Response Program (RRP) for adults, and arts-based programs via Mural Arts Philadelphia.

More: Restorative justice in Milwaukee focuses on repairing harm through community-based dialogue, school-based restorative practices, and diversion programs for youth and adults. Key initiatives include Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) fostering restorative cultures, the Andrew Center for Restorative Justice at Marquette Law School, and programs targeting youth accountability to reduce recidivism.

🤷 At least it cuts down the odds judges and lawyers are assaulted or killed. Probably.

Bodega is generally a small grocery store or deli in a heavily hispanic (and often poor) neighborhood. This rape happened in one of the most heavily hispanic neighborhoods in NYC. The victim was almost certainly hispanic, and as I've been saying, Democraps don't give a shit about dead hispanics unless it can be blamed on a white guy. Black-on-black or brown-on-brown crime?

It told us they would live among us. If you pursue policies that are anti human, anti liberty and undermine biblical teaching that are very clear, you’ve crossed the rubicon to the other side. When you mislead people as to your true intentions and lie about your misdeeds you are truly in league with satan.

The argument for authoritarian regimes will always come under the guise of safety and that is what these assholes need to collapse popularly elected governments (and even populations) that might resist.

"Trump claimed Iran had planned to send over eight large vessels of oil as a show of good faith related to potential peace negotiations. He then described hearing of media headlines which said eight ships were moving through the Strait of Hormuz. He also stated his team is having "very substantial talks" with Tehran to resolve the conflict - but at this point it appears merely indirect via Pakistani mediation. As for the 'gift', some factcheckers have begun investigating the claim:

Tanker tracking data compiled by Bloomberg shows no sign of the eight big boats full of oil that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz strait that President Trump just mentioned in his briefing."

174 One of the reasons DOGE was so successful was that it worked outside of the institutions it was tasked to audit. Had DOGE simply tasked the rank and file at the various Bureau/Department/Office they looked into, it's a sure bet "nothing would have happened."

Same goes for the judiciary and congress.

Those institutions cannot be rehabilitated using the judiciary and elections. It just makes no sense.

The left understands "outside power" that operates detached from the base. We'd better get with the program. What little we've leveraged in that vein has really thrown the left off balance.

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at March 26, 2026 02:11 PM (ESVrU)

In older cities you have groceries ranging from smaller super markets size down to a convenience store size but with inventory less tilted towards snacks and pops and more toward staples and such. So they might have some meats and veges, say.

For those that missed it, because the MSM is not reporting it: The Special Election in California last November, where Prop 50 passed and the redistricting is occurring, is under investigation. Apparently several Advocacy groups obtained information online that shows there were approximately 50K more ballots counted than what the SOS reported.

The AG, Rob Bonta, attempted to put an end to the Investigation being run by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Bonta sued and the judge denied his motion to quash the investigation. The judge further ordered that a Special Master be appointed to count the ballots.

204 Are nude, adult bike races in Philly and other communities Sexually Explicit?

AI Overview: Naked bike rides are generally not considered sexually explicit, but rather focus on body positivity, environmental awareness, and celebrating human vulnerability. While participants may be fully nude, these events typically have codes of conduct that prohibit lewd gestures, sexual harassment, or sexually charged behavior, ensuring the environment is celebratory rather than explicitly sexual.

OTOH, the Mexican Revolution, the English Civil War which was a failed revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Spanish Civil War (failed revolution/coup), the French Revolution, and the Russian Revolution. Iranian Revolution did not work out so well either as we can see.

Meet the New Boss, Just the Same as the Old Boss. The best way is still patient reform and persuasion over time to change the system. Trying to crash it results in a lot of people getting hurt and killed and more than likely things going sideways.

Civil wars are bloodbaths and it will get a lot of the 'goods' as well as the 'baddies' and it is very well possible that the 'baddies' win.
