Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

Declining Standards

There are many reasons that naysayers looked at the prospect of state-sponsored "assisted suicide" with everything from trepidation to open horror. These reasons range from the religious to the moral to the pragmatic, but there have been many objectors wherever such notions have been floated. In this country, it's a state-level consideration. In other countries, like Canada, it's national. More states and countries every year enable it, and the naysayers now have the records of places where it has already been done to point to.

One thing that state-sponsored "assisted suicide" has demonstrated is that on this particular topic, the goalposts aren't merely mobile, they have wheels and powerful engines to propel them down the field. Yesterday, Ace posted an ad from Canada, encouraging that country's flavor of euthanasia (called MAID) by extolling the virtues of offing yourself. In his Morning Rant yesterday, CBD mentioned the legal battle over what became Spain's youngest person killed through its euthanasia program.

In Canada, MAID's goalposts have been moving rapidly. It took just five years for Canada to mash down the accelerator on MAID. When passed in 2016, MAID required a 10-day "reflection period" before a person could be eligible. This was repealed for terminal patients in 2021, and they installed a MAID express lane. There is still a waiting period for MAID's "Track 2" participants - which is for those without "forseeable death" - but it can also be waived. From "death as a mercy" to express-lane, state-sponsored killing in five years. Impressive.

But it doesn't stop there for MAID. MAID still doesn't kill citizens suffering only from mental illness. That is changing. It was supposed to change last year, but there was enough objection that it's been deferred until 2027. But they will get there, and open a whole category of people who can be killed by the state. Sure, it requires consent - but as we see reported frequently, MAID is enthusiastically offered to those seeking medical treatment and - unlike many other medical treatments in Canada - MAID acts fast. The slope is slippery indeed.

Colorado also passed its euthanasia law in 2016. Unlike Canada, it took longer to start moving the goalposts. It wasn't until 2024 that they cut the waiting period in half and added a waiver process to skip the waiting period if the prescriber thinks death is imminent. That same year, Colorado also expanded who can prescribe the drugs to include Advanced Practice Registered Nurses in addition to doctors. This latter change was made specifically to cover doctor-scarce rural areas. Vermont passed its euthanasia law in 2013 and also took longer to start moving the goalposts. In 2022 they "expanded access" by eliminating one of the two waiting periods, allowing remote diagnosis ("telemedicine") and opening eligibility to non-residents. In neither state is it available for mental illness, nor can the doctor administer the drugs - but I will be surprised if it takes more than five years to get there under the banner of "expanded access." After all, neither state made it even a decade before hitting the accelerator.

Then there is Spain. Spain was comparatively late to the party, not legalizing state-sponsored euthanasia until 2021. Spain does still have a waiting period, but also permits it for mental illness. That permission is not explicit, but it is nonetheless permitted. A mere three years after the law's passage, the Spanish parliament attempted to make it explicitly permitted. The attempt failed - probably because it wasn't necessary - but many in Spanish government wanted to make it very clear that they will help you off yourself for mental illness. They learned from their forbears to be expansive, but wanted to make it explicitly expansive just in case they can help shuffle more people into the grave by doing so.

The reason I looked into this further is the same case that CBD discussed yesterday. In that case, a mentally-ill young woman named Noelia Castillo Ramos became the youngest person in Spain to die by assisted suicide, and it was for mental illness that was exacerbated by sexual assault. Her family sued to prevent it, citing mental incompetence. The court ruled that she was competent, and so it proceeded. That makes sense as far is it goes, but I was curious as to why the lawsuit was about competence rather than diagnosis, why the argument was that Ramos couldn't make that choice, rather than because it was for a non-terminal illness. That is when I learned that it needn't be for a terminal - or even physical - illness in Spain. Competence was the only avenue available to fight it.

The press and politicians happily ignored those who objected to these laws. The press wrote off the moral and religious objectors as atavistic cranks, and declared that the pragmatic objectors were arguing in bad faith. The pragmatic objectors to state-sponsored euthanasia are perhaps the most interesting, because they feared exactly this ratcheting expansion even if they didn't have moral or religious objections to the idea of a "mercy killing." The pragmatists were proven correct as everywhere such laws have been implemented, the requirements are subsequently loosened. Wait less. Make diagnosis easier and faster. Expand the list of eligible conditions. Once permitted at all, the steady march toward expansion, acceleration, popularization or - G-d forbid - a mandate immediately began.

Encouraging citizens to die is too great a temptation for the state. Once that door has been opened, it not only can never close, it can only open wider. Whether through misplaced empathy, financial considerations or simple malice, the standards and restrictions always decline and - like abortion - what started as "safe, legal and rare" becomes the heavily-encouraged first choice.

Also, I hope that our Jewish Hordelings have a good Pesach (which begins tonight) and that our Christian Hordelings have a blessed Good Friday and a happy Easter!

21 Then there are the involuntary programs: Liverpool Care Pathway (discontinued, IIRC) and Groningen Protocol.

In both programs, doctors could prescribe death by removal of all assistance, including food and water, without the family's awareness or consent.

With LCP, it was the doctors that finally revolted. The program was set up with participation goals and bonuses to hospitals that exceeded goals. Hospital administrators were harassing doctors, telling them to kill more and more patients to reap the financial rewards. They were essentially killing senior patients who were annoying, without family to protect them, and those with mental disabilities.

How much of it is really suicide?
When the state controls what medical treatment is available to you, such as in Canada and the UK, they can essentially tell you your only treatment they will approve is MAID.

As with the trans movement, I would imagine a good portion of these participants are vulnerable people being preyed upon by ghouls.

35 I still think assisted suicide for the clinically insane, of which there are plenty of candidates roaming our streets, is a viable alternative to letting them loose on the public. There's a raft of seriously depressed, manic leftists unhappy with their lot in life. Here's an alternative to moving to Canada or Scotland or wherever if you're so unhappy with life in America under Trump.

Just end it. We'll all thank you later.

53 Point to ponder: Assisted Suicide is inextricably linked to the death penalty.
The State is killing someone, albeit one is presumed innocent, the other found guilty of their crimes by their peers.

Interestingly enough -- there is no problem getting the drugs for someone to punch their own clock, but getting drugs to administer in a death penalty execution is......difficult.

I presume those who are all in on assisted suicide -are OK with the death penalty?

62 Say, I have a question about U.S. Senate parliamentary procedure. I know that there are a lot of things about it that are mere convention, not a mandatory rule, like the "blue slip" approval for nominees in a Senator's state. I think the President pro tem is another one, and Majority Leader Thune apparently just let the Senate go on two-week vacation. So.

As the Constitutional President of the Senate, could Vice-President Vance force the Senate into formal recess, when they don't have a physical quorum present to prevent him? They've been doing some cutesy formal nominal sessions to prevent President Trump from being able to make recess appointments the way every other President has been able to do, and I'm wondering if it's mere courtesy that is keeping the Administration from forcing the issue, or if the President pro tem actually has that much formal power somehow.

70 This is OT, but it is interesting. Geert Wilders has announced on twitter that the Dutch Prime Minister Jetten has contacted him to transfer the Premiership to Wilders -- This is kind of big it it happens.

Prime Minister Jetten just called me.

He said he had severely underestimated the demands of the premiership and greatly overestimated the confidence of his coalition partners. He no longer had confidence in his own cabinet. I told him I appreciated his honesty.

Since our parties had won an equal number of seats in the elections, Mr. Jetten indicated that he wished to transfer the premiership to me.

We will go together to the King at 12:00 p.m. to formalize the transfer.

Tomorrow I will enact emergency state law, close the borders to all asylum seekers, and make preparations for a large-scale repatriation of Syrians and others back to their home countries. Asylum centers can close, the coercive law will be repealed, our homes will belong to us again, and with the money saved, we will immediately lower the excise taxes on gasoline and diesel.

As the Constitutional President of the Senate, could Vice-President Vance force the Senate into formal recess, when they don't have a physical quorum present to prevent him? They've been doing some cutesy formal nominal sessions to prevent President Trump from being able to make recess appointments the way every other President has been able to do, and I'm wondering if it's mere courtesy that is keeping the Administration from forcing the issue, or if the President pro tem actually has that much formal power somehow.

89 The death of 11-year-old Alireza Jafari, the first known child recruit killed during the Iran war, underscores what rights advocates describe as a governing doctrine that places regime survival above civilian protection amid mounting wartime pressure. Jafari, a fifth-grade student, was killed at a military checkpoint in Tehran during US and Israeli airstrikes targeting military sites, according to Hengaw, a Norway-based Kurdish human rights organization that monitors abuses in Iran.

Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are filling the gap because there is a dearth of primary care docs.. .

First, the number of medical students is limited. Allow more med students instead of allowing people who have fewer years of training fill in for doctors*.

It allows med to be prescribed more freely and remotely (see ads for 1-800 diet and erectile dysfunction meds), which helps Pharmaceuticals.

I should note my bias: my husband's cancer was misdiagnosed for up to a year because the nurse practitioner kept guessing different things for his symptoms at each visit. In retrospect, she was clearly unsupervised.

82 One thing the Art Thread has done is increase the awareness and appreciation of both the Christian and Jewish holy days. So today we learn that Passover and Easter, while celebrating two different events, are linked in the Spring, because of the supposition that The Last Supper was a Passover meal (although this is not universally agreed upon). This week it just so happens that Passover is on Wednesday and Easter the following Sunday, which comes very close to the timing of Jesus' and the Apostles' final days together.

93 Interesting use of color and subtle detail. The figures are not as realistic as the stonework but that adds to the sense of motion, like it's a busy family meal. Each person has their own posture and facial expression. There is a feel, at least for me, of relaxed family ritual.

102 From previous - Oil is “fungible” in the sense of contracts on the open market.

But different types of crude don’t fetch the same price. “Benchmark” crude or WTI, or “light sweet” crude is a standard, that all crude oil probably aspires to.

Lesser oils trade at a discount. Then there’s transportation costs. They will trade contracts and offset with $$$. Say for example, Alaskan crude. Good stuff, it makes more sense to sell it to Japan, then refine it in the USA. They’ll trade it for something else from somewhere else, that kind of thing.

It’s a global market and reacts locally to global events.

110 Iirc, Saudi crude requires very little refining. Some of it would probably run OK straight out of the ground in an old school Diesel engine. Maybe run it through a cheesecloth first.

Venezuelan crude is heavy on tar. Good for Shingles and Asphalt, but cracking will derive significant gasoline and other products. Much more involved refining though.

I was walking back from turning in our answer and a girl was walking up to do the same, so I stepped out of her path, being courteous. A dude from that table passed me by, as if I got out of HIS way, made HER move out of his way, all while he stopped to talk at a table and blocked the walkway.

Times of Israel

Some of US President Donald Trump’s aides tell the Axios news site that they believe the American leader is “mostly improvising, rather than following any clear plan” regarding the Iran war.

The aides tell Axios that Trump “likes to keep his options open, spitball with different audiences, then capitalize if he thinks he sees an opportunity.”

"Anybody who would fall for her honeypot is just a joke."

230 If you have radiating pain , that is nerve root compression and can only be relieved by eliminating the compression. Sometimes it's as simple as it being temporary inflammation causing swelling that causes the impingement. Worse case scenario is you have severe stenosis that impinges the nerve even if not inflamed.

The Morning Report — 4/1/26

MualimDummy.jpg

Good morning kids. Lots of things happening, and ground to cover this morning. First to Iran where President Trump is making lots of things go boom including the heads of Leftists and miscreants. But in Iran:


Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.

Perhaps this was the plan all along and the deployment of several thousand US troops to or near the theatre was a big head-fake. Iran's nuclear program was always the prime if not sole reason why the President decided to attack, with regime change or as it stands the chance for regime change an enticing side benefit.

With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, the pressure on the global economy as the free flow of Middle Eastern oil is severely hampered is tremendous, to say nothing of the political pressure as gas prices rise as a crucial midterm election season kicks into high gear.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Operation Epic Fury in Iran will come to an end in the next two or three weeks, or perhaps even sooner.

If the reports of Iran's enriched Uranium stockpile being buried forever are accurate, that is certainly a very good thing. And assuming their centrifuges are now also a pile of rubble and their nuclear and rocket scientists now so much moldering worm food, the odds of them being able to reconstitue what they once had, certainly in the near term are low. But, can we really breathe a sigh of relief if even a shadow of the Mullahocracy is allowed to take the reins of power. We are after all dealing not only with a 47-year old regime but with a 1500-year old ideology spanning the globe that seeks to conquer it and make it Planet Islam.

Yes, regime change is a good thing, But regime change begins at home!

The apparent eagerness of Trump to make a deal with Iran, leaving in place the current regime, has left many Iranians feeling deceived and disappointed. They are particularly alarmed that his mediators have been talking to the speaker of Iran’s parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. More on Ghalibaf can be found here: “Iranians feel ‘deceived, abandoned’ as Trump weighs striking deal with Iran’s old guard,” by Omid Habibinia, The Media Line, March 25, 2026 . . .

Well, dear Persians, my message to you is put your own asses on the line. We've done more than enough heavy lifting already. The rest is up to you. What's better, living on your knees of dying on your feet?! I hope it doesn't come to that for you and every innocent decent person, but the ball is in your court.


And speaking of regime change beginning at home as well as President Donald Trump, he has done more to change the regime of business as usual here at home than any President since Reagan and Coolidge. Certainly more than the GOP that has been stabbing him in the back at almost every turn. For example:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening signed an executive order focused on election integrity, including a measure to ensure that mail-in ballots are sent to eligible voters and returned by them. Trump signed the order in the Oval Office while flanked by White House staff secretary Will Scharf and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick . . . “We’re going to take federal data, we’re going to ensure that each state’s election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote,’ Scharf said of the first measure.

No doubt the lawsuits and phony injunctions from Justices Buch M. Danno and Mac A. Damia will be forthcoming. But still. At least we at long last have a real leader putting his ass on the line, unlike the GOP that is doing jack shit and worse, doing what they can to sabotage the efforts.

And speaking of literally leading from the front:

President Trump to Attend SCOTUS Oral Arguments on Birthright Citizenship. . . Soon after taking office last year, Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and foreign tourists, often referred to as “anchor babies” as they anchor their parents permanently in the U.S. and can sponsor their immediate relatives for green cards once they become of legal age.

Wow. I'm no presidential historian but I think this is unprecedented. That said, I know of no rule that forbids Trump from sitting in on the SCOTUS session, especially since he himself, or his policy, is one of the parties in the case.

My first reaction is perhaps politically it's not such a great move as it gives the Leftists a potential talking point to attack him as a tyrant/Hitler intimidating the judiciary or some such rot. Then again, it brings the issue of the madness of the birthright citizenship abomination into the public discourse, alongside the madness of illegal aliens and election non-integrity that illegal aliens voting is a huge part of.

God bless and keep President Trump. Say what you will, but this is what I voted for. LEGALLY three times. One vote in each of three elections, for the record.


And if none of this is interesting enough, we have Muslim boys molesting girl mannequins for your April Fool's entertainment.


And to my fellow Jews and really to all of you, I send Passover greetings and wishes for a Ziessen Pesach and may the angel of death pass over you and pay a nice long visit to all our enemies, wherever they lurk. May they be thwarted, defeated and their legacy of dissolution and destruction be eradicated and expunged for all time.

Have a great day!

GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE
@GOP_is_Gutless
🚨 Fetterman Drops a Bomb on Oprah:

Senator John Fetterman just exposed how Oprah Winfrey allegedly tried to buy his vote on the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

“She had her assistant approach me and offer me $20 million to vote against the bill,” Fetterman told the Senate Oversight Committee.

“I told her that’s not how our country works.”

He immediately informed Democrat leadership.

Their response?

“They swept it under the rug.”

A Democrat senator turning down $20M from one of the most powerful liberals in America — and his own party buried it.

Integrity over cash.

Rare sight in DC.

16 You can't win a war from the air.

If the idea is that scuttering Iran's nuclear program is sufficient, that's an absurd idea.

The Iranian people have been completely disarmed so the notion they are going to rise up and overthrow the people with the guns is lunacy.

If we want a stable ME long term, the regime in Iran needs to be replaced, and that only happens one way.

Uggh, the ME and Asia will always be a f**** quagmire.

28 The countdown for NASA's DEI-fueled rocket launch has begun.

From Breitbart:

Unlike Apollo, which sent only men to the moon from 1968 through 1972, Artemis’ debut crew includes a woman, person of color and a non-U.S. citizen.

Artemis II’s pilot Victor Glover said over the weekend that he wants young people to see them and think, “Girl power and that’s awesome, and that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go ‘Hey, he looks like me and he’s doing what???’”

At the same time, Glover, who is Black, looks forward to when ”one day we don’t have to talk about these firsts” and exploring the cosmos becomes an all-encompassing “human history.”

******

Also, according to the NYT, girlboss Charlie Blackwell-Thompson -- NASA's first female launch director in the history of forever!! -- is in charge of lighting the candle.

Going to the streets and protesting is a whole other thing from dislodging the people with guns and monopoly on violence.


And looking at history, winning the bad guys to your cause is typically not the norm, the norm is the guys with the guns are dislodged with other people with guns.

The Iranian people don't have guns, or really a plan of real succession for rule.

There's a laundry list of things I'd like to see come out of this dustup. I suppose regime change is one, but that is far down the list. I'd be perfectly fine with some IRGC strongman who toes the line WRT to American demands - or blowing him up if he tries deceiving us. Either is fine.

As for the freedom of the Iranian people, that's even further down. Regime change or no, that's really not our problem. This ain't a charity, guys. If blood's to be spent on your liberty, it ought to be yours.

We've (the US) done a fantastic job of limiting our own output, and California is shutting down even more output, thereby raising demand from other sources (and they're more $$$).
Not building pipelines, Not adding refining capacity (did y'all forget Valero a couple of weeks back?), and adding more taxes and regulations make for a fragile market. Throw in some speculation and *presto*, prices fluctuate.

I do note the higher price areas have added even more regulations lately...

169 Regulations require different methods and additives. It amazes me that we can get legal fuel to every station on a timely basis. Any disruption, from war to weather to refinery or pipeline damage always causes prices to jump around for a while.

Their distribution systems have got to be awfully rigid. When you're making 2¢: per gallon profit, you're not going to have spare trucks and drivers and time laying around to deliver substantially more or less gasoline if someone decides to have a sale.

I think that's why prices go up and, eventually, down in unison. The prices are dictated by the minute to keep the deliveries flowing.

I'm not bleak at all. In the last 3 months Trump took Maduro and in doing so freed Venezuela from the grip of China and Iran (hezbollah was part of Maduro's coalition), taken back control of the Panama Canal from China and back into western hands and decapitated Iran with our strong ally Israel. The GCC countries are now lining up with us against Iran and China is left trying to negotiate with Iran to stop the war because they are running out of fuel.

Then there's Cuba which is now slipping away from the communists and NATO as we knew it is pining for the fjords. That's just some of the highlights of a massive shift in global alignment. Just the other day the president of Costa Rica said she is going full Buekle and Chile has a new rightwing president.

177 California's oil refining process primarily involves the processing of heavy crude oil, which is a dense and viscous variety that is uniquely suited for the state's extensive refining infrastructure. This heavy crude is processed to produce various products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and other refined products.

Pennsylvania's oil processing industry is known for refining Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil, which is a type of sweet crude oil found primarily in the Appalachian basin. This oil is characterized by its high viscosity index, low sulfur content, and high paraffin levels, making it ideal for refining into lubricants and other products.

189 Trump attending today's hearing is a great opportunity for one of the liberal justices to pose a hypothetical about a Slovenian prostitute mothering an anchor baby

NO Us sitting president has ever attended a live Supreme Court oral argument in the 235 year history of the Supreme Court. The US Congress created a US monarchy, centralizing federal power to Trump who rules the US by Decrees.

He truly believes he is a King.

If he's lucky, he'll only fall asleep. He's also at risk of shitting himself, having a dementia outburst and telling random blondes they're hot, etc.

this could be really stupid by Trump. There's no valid legal question for SCOTUS to consider, so there’s a decent chance this case is only being heard because it’s an easy way for them to deliver a loss to him.

Roberts is obsessed with the court's image, so two cases in the term go against the administration seems like a thing he’d do

If Trump wins, any of us could be in danger of deportation. All they have to do is say our birth citizenship was obtained by fraud or was invalid at birth.

208 What is another word for "living off others"?
The term "living off others" can be paraphrased or rephrased in various ways, depending on the context. Here are some alternative phrases and synonyms for "living off others":

Parasite: A person who lives off the resources or support of others, often without contributing anything in return.

Sponge: A person who relies on others for support, often without giving anything in return.

Exploiter: A person who takes advantage of others for personal gain, often at the expense of others.

Manipulator: A person who uses others to achieve their own goals, often at the cost of others.

Narcissist: A person who uses others for their own benefit, often at the expense of others.

These terms capture the essence of someone who relies on others for sustenance or support, often without reciprocation. They highlight the idea of dependency and the potential for exploitation in relationships.

Part II of the Adam Smith famous quote:
Nobody but a beggar chuses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens. Even a beggar does not depend upon it entirely. The charity of well-disposed people, indeed, supplies him with the whole fund of his subsistence. But though this principle ultimately provides him with all the necessaries of life which he has occasion for, it neither does nor can provide him with them as he has occasion for them. The greater part of his occasional wants are supplied in the same manner as those of other people, by treaty, by barter, and by purchase.

Fox News’ Will Cain EXPOSES Birthright Citizenship: “Reports of foreign wealth being used to manipulate the system. One Chinese billionaire reportedly has more than 100 U.S.-born children through surrogacy. The idea: build a future family and business succession plan. Some clients, by the way, request up to 100 babies via multiple surrogates. It can cost as much as $200K per child… Also, surrogacy is illegal in China. Nearly 41% of international surrogate parents in the U.S. are Chinese.”

“Juan Carlos Valencia González… was born in Santa Ana, California, in 1984. His parents were from Mexico. He happens to also be the stepson of ‘El Mencho,’ the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. And now he is reportedly leading that very same cartel.”

The existing system does not lend itself to major change, critters like Eyepatch realize this quickly and determine that the only thing they can really do materially is feather their own beds.

Critters with little honor and integrity go that route, critters with higher orders of honor and integrity, don't stick around long.

There is a subset of those without honor and integrity but also do not have the ability to feather their own beds very well. Guys like Flake come to mind.

Top Story

  • Anthropic's Claude Code developer tool leaked. (Dev.To)

    Which... Well, so what? You can download it. Countless thousands of people have. I have. Anyone who wanted to put in the effort to pick it apart could have done so.

    Anthropic left a debug option set it one release and that made all the source files visible, but that just made it easier.

    The real brains - Anthropic's AI models like Sonnet and Opus - run safely on their servers and haven't leaked anywhere.

    If you're interested though it's available on GitHub.


  • If you want to run your own LLM and not just local tools that talk to a remote server somewhere Bonsai from PrismML might be of interest. (PrismML)

    Because the 1.7 billion parameter model runs in 240MB of memory - yes, M, not G - and churns through 130 tokens per second on an iPhone 17.

    Which uses noticeably less power than a rack full of high-end graphics cards.

    Bonsai 8B uses 1.15GB of RAM.

    While it doesn't lead in test scores, it's being tested against 16GB models, which require an entirely different class of hardware. It would be interesting to see how a 70 billion parameter model would perform on the same tests if it's possible to perform the same trick - quantising the model down from half-precision (16 bits) per parameter to 1 bit with error correction.

23 Today I go to the tire store to have two new Continentals put on the front of the Buick, with balancing and road hazard warranty. (Wincing at the price) At that, the tires are each $26 cheaper than the Kellys my regular mechanic was quoted, and Continentals are better tires to boot. Good for a long trip.

28 On the good side, I did up my state taxes. My first pass did not take into account the deductions I'm allowed, so I wound up with a small refund coming instead of a big payment. That's ready to go after I review it again tomorrow (the return is not due until 5/15).

The Exxon convenience store I go to was still at $3.49 for E10 87 yesterday, while some other stations, Shell and Racetrac, were at $3.75. I gassed up with their E0, $3.69. That price won't hold much longer.

29 if someone asks you to count to ten, what is the first number you say: zero, or one

It depends on the language and how it treats lists. I cut my programming teeth on BASIC, which usually (on the hardware I had available, at least) started with 1. Most later scripting languages either started with 0 (Perl, Python, C, really everything except…) or didn’t have sequential-number indexed lists (PHP).

What is considered AI programming changes over time; I suspect few professionals would consider Eliza to be AI programming today; I suspect at least some of Clippy’s developers considered its pattern-matching to be rudimentary AI at the time.

It was not LLM in any case, which is a specific kind of AI not really suited to Clippy’s tasks (other than its real task of annoying the hell out of people trying to get work done, which LLM is very suited for).

45 If you haven't been there yet, go over to X/ Twitter. My feed has been flooded with Japanese eager to learn about American Midwest Southern meat culture. They want to hear all about our brisket and huge slabs of steak. And it turns out, the right wing in Japan is experiencing exactly what we experience here. People are making friends with Japanese nerds who sound just like us. It's so wholesome.

Another interesting thing. The left-wing media in Japan has shamed them over Fukushima, the nuclear accident after the tsunami. They were told everyone hates them because of this. So the biggest consequence so far of our new meat friendship is their discovery that we don't hate them over Fukushima.

My guess is that the left started the anti-nuclear power plant psyop in order to give China and communist countries in advantage over us. And so we have made barely any progress in this, and the Japanese have been struggling against the same headwinds.

So if you haven't done it yet, get some photos of thick slabs of sirloin cooking on the grill, and head over to X to talk to your newest best friends in Japan. They want to hear from you.

>>Thomas Bender thanks for that, but I'll wait until the English translation is available.

I'm a Project Manager and one thing that every Project Manager needs are tools to run their projects, my current company lacks the necessary tools, my previous company had a robust tool set, my previous company was acquired by my new company and the first they did was mothball the tools under the guise of they were in the process of developing swell tools, that was 10 years ago, so 6 months ago I finally snapped and took matters into my own hands.

So the idea behind the Influence scatter plot is that every project has important people at various levels of influence and authority that you have to deal with and communicate with, the scatter plot give a visual representation of who's important an what level of influence they have. It's actually pretty neat.

118 So CRAID can have various different meanings, it's typically Constraints, Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Decisions. In my ERP, C is also Changes, A is also Actions, so it's really a CCRAAID register, there are also levels to Changes, whereby a you can have a C to the Contract, a Change order, or a Change Record, ie a to the System that would require RCA, Root Cause Analyssis, which would also require Release Notes, and Rollback, etc. So the Register is really a CCRRAAID.

If you saw it you would understand it.

$5 Million Mansion Rented on Airbnb for Small Private Event, Vandalized by 800 Partying Teens

When Kishore Karlapudi saw his beautiful mansion in Celina, Texas, rented on Airbnb for a party of seven people, he never imagined it would be invaded and vandalised by hundreds of teenagers looking for a good time.

Karlapudi doesn’t live in the mansion himself, but instead rents it out on Airbnb for passive income. He never imagined that he could become the victim of some teenagers looking for a place to stage the mother of all parties.

“Somebody booked it, saying they needed the property for a party of seven people,” Kishore Karlapudi told Fox4 News.

According to Celina Police Chief John Cullison, that small party of seven swelled to between 500 and 800 people after the event was advertised on social media. On the evening of March 21, police started receiving calls about a massive gathering at the mansion, followed by reports of gunshots being heard on the property.

“We started getting the 911 calls with the shots fired. We also got a call that there was 10 men at the front gate, and they had guns, and they were threatening to kill someone. So, this of course amped our officers up just a bit to make sure we go inside and keep everybody safe,” Chief Cullison said. “But it wasn’t until they went inside and they actually realized how vast this party was.”

Did you know there are some snakes that have an internal gauge for their level of poison? You do now!

These snakes steal poison from their prey—here's how they know they have enough

doof-Neck_arch-1.jpg

Red-necked keelback snakes are highly toxic—mere drops of their pungent yellow poison could blind a mongoose and stop its heart within minutes. But the snakes don’t make that toxin themselves; rather, they steal it from the poisonous toads they eat.

After a red-necked keelback (Rhabdophis subminiatus) eats a true toad (a member of the Bufonidae family), the snake’s intestines soak up the toxic bufadienolide molecules from the amphibian’s skin. The toxins are then shuttled into more than a dozen pairs of storage pockets in the snakes’ necks called nuchal glands. Then the snakes act fearless. They rise and jut their necks at mongooses and other would-be predators as if to say, “Go ahead—I dare you.”

That brazen attitude doesn’t last, though. If dinner has been nontoxic recently—poison-free frogs or fish, for example—these reptiles often hurriedly slither away.

Snakes are equal parts creepy and cool to me. How about you?

In the market for a super cool vintage car? Here's one to consider.

Son Inherited Dad's 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T, Now Selling Because It Holds Too Many Memories

doof-1968-dodge-coronet.jpg

This Coronet spent almost its entire life with the same man who picked it up from the dealership and drove it home. It remained in the family after his passing, but the son has decided to let it go for a simple reason. It holds too many memories, so someone else must cherish the car now.

That's why it's here. This Coronet R/T is looking for a new home, and while it's not a spotless specimen, it's worth knowing the car has never been restored or altered. I would still inspect it personally before making an offer to check if all of these are true, but at first glance, this Coronet just seems to check all these big boxes.

Dodge offered a little something to every Coronet buyer in 1968.

It started with the Coronet Deluxe, which was the most affordable configuration but also came with a six-cylinder 225 standard. A 273ci V8 unit was optional if buyers wanted a little bit more power.

The Coronet 440 also started with a six, but the engine options went all the way up to the 440ci with 375 horsepower. The Coronet 500 was next with a standard 318 and more options, including the popular 383, followed by the almighty R/T. The Coronet R/T was all about the power delivered by its engine and the mix of upgrades inside the cabin, and buyers could choose either the standard 440 or the 426 Hemi.

The Hemi was the engine to get if power was the main objective, but it's not a secret that this engine configuration was ridiculously expensive. It featured dual-quad carburetors and delivered 425 horsepower, so some buyers didn’t care and still ordered the engine, no matter the price.

This Coronet R/T was and still is equipped with a 440ci V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.

The vehicle is up for online auction.

The top bid at the time of writing is $19,100, but it's expected to increase significantly, as the Coronet seems to get impressive attention lately.

***

The car is parked in Chicago, Illinois, and if you don't want to pay more for shipping, you should be able to drive it home on its wheels.

29 So we all know who Vinnie Vincent is, right?

Okay, probably not.

He played with KISS. He did some guitar work on Creatures Of The Night and was the official lead guitarist on Lick It Up before leaving and doing time albums with his band Vinnie Vincent Invasion.

Hasn't done shit since.

Apparently he has a "new" (recorded in 1990) album called Guitarmageddon. Wants to sell it for $2 million.

No, really. $2,000,000 dollars. American.

Or $200,000 dollars per track.

I think Vinnie might be a bit on the crazy side.

You can find tracks on YT. I listened to part of one and it's...embarrassing. Like really really fucking bad. There's no musicality at all. It's just...awful. Check it out, though, it's worth a laugh.

59 I hate snakes with a passion only reserved for hating Dims. May hate snakes worse. All of them.

I don't care if they are non-poisonous and eat rats.

The 5' black snake of our front hedge in FL did not eat rats. It is a myth. He/she hung out there to scare me. We still had a roof rat that also missed the myth memo. He also once got in the garage with me, as I had to go out the garage door to check the mail and he was waiting for me. This was not good but he left.

We had a dry winter, lack of snow and cold weather, and I am positive it's going to be a snake filled spring and summer.

She told him that she could hear mice rustling around in the walls and under the floorboards, so he bought a bunch of traps to put in the crawlspace to get rid of them. He crawled about halfway under the house with the traps and scooted right back out. It wasn't mice. It was a rattlesnake den. They moved out. On the bright side, there weren't any mice.

The lack of a Year Zero with the traditional AD/BC count is a problem for the arithmetic (think Julian date conversions and similar). The standard astronomical dating system sets 1BC as the year 0. So a year of N BC is the year 1 - N.

Now, when you do that, the question of when a century (or decade) begins depends on whether you start at 0 or 1, a classic off by 1 type of thing. It depends on just what convention you want to use.

But with your birth, you start counting at zero, not one. Your first year you age is 0. You don't turn 1 until 1 year after your birth. Your age is the number of integer years you've attained.

With the AD/BC system, there is no Year 0. This would be as if you counted your age as 1 when you were born.

118 After a red-necked keelback (Rhabdophis subminiatus) eats a true toad (a member of the Bufonidae family), the snake’s intestines soak up the toxic bufadienolide molecules from the amphibian’s skin. The toxins are then shuttled into more than a dozen pairs of storage pockets in the snakes’ necks called nuchal glands.

Stealing your food's poison is cool and all, but how about stealing the entire venom-delivery system?

Blue sea dragons, a type of sea slug, eat Portuguese man-o-war. They keep entire nematocysts for self-defense..... venom, stinger, everything.

This was a worry of mine in college. I'd bring my bike home on the plane (there were boxes for bikes) and ride country roads. I honestly worried they'd wrap themselves in the bike spikes to mess with me. They are out to get me.

I'd lift my legs for this as well (think Butch Cassidy riding bike scene).

I don't know why lifting my legs in boats and on bikes was going to work, but it was what I did. These water snakes are monsters.Huge and ugly.

144 For those of you saying there was no year zero, you are wrong. We are numbering the years, not naming them. Here's why:

We base our calendar, for right or wrong, off the birth of Christ.

If you were born on December 25, 1997 (because you're obviously 29), how many years old were you on December 28, 1997? None. Zero years old. On December 28, 0000 Jesus was zero years old. (Yes, I get the whole arbitrary birth date argument).

From December 25, 0000 until December 24, 0000, Jesus was zero years old. On December 25, 0001, Jesus was 1 year old.

There was, in fact, a year zero. Centuries begin on the zeros.

When Christ was born is not known. There are a lot of theories, and some interesting astronomical alignments (the meaning of the Star of Bethlehem, just what was it).

The "consensus of experts" is 6 - 4 BC, although the max range is 6 to 1 BC. There was some Star of Bethlehem conjunction theory I really liked that put it 2BC, IIRC.

154 "In fact, I was probably walking around in the year 2000 thinking all, 'We're in the 21st century now, woo-woo' and we weren't."

I was more concerned about the Year Zero bug, and all the work we had had to do to fix it. When the world didn't come to an end on 01/01/2000 00:00:00 GMT, I didn't give a damn what century I was in.

Still, I remember the debates over when the third millenium began. Some people got really bent out of shape over it. My feeling is, beginning a century on the zero year is OK, if you accept that the first century AD had only 99 years. Since nobody from that time is still around to complain -- and in fact, nobody from that time had any idea they were living in the first century, since the BC/AD system of numbering years was devised a few centuries later -- I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

That being said, when a question like that comes up on a quiz, it's best to avoid the obvious answer.

When I got home all the windows in the house were open and she had her car with a shop vac hose hooked up to her exhaust and running into one of the crawl space vents.

210 An interesting thing about counting starting with 1.

I knew an atheist who insisted Jesus was wrong when he said he would rise on the third day, because he counted Crucifixion Friday as day zero.

No matter how folks tried to explain that Friday was Day 1, Saturday was day 2, and Resurrection Sunday was the third day, he insisted on his numbering system.

I think I'll wander off for a while. I think the stupidity from the Jeopardy contestants is infectious. Like that woman who agreed we need to pay more attention to the Gays of Hormuth.

It’s not really a trick question. It isn’t even a math question. t’s a logic question. It’s counting up the centuries, not marking a particular numerical pattern.

My problem with the “question” is that it’s like all questions on Jeopardy. What they call the question is the answer and what they call the answer is the question. Even Trebek slipped up on the game’s terminology here because of that.

It’s about ten percent of why Wheel of Fortune is the better show.

Being dismissive gets you nowhere. Bet your accountant loves you. Years and pennies are the same as they are things. You don’t get to change math and logic because you want to count something differently.

On my first birthday, it was such because I completed my first set of 365 days and when I completed the second set, I turned 2, and so on.

It’s not hard; you just want to reinvent math because “years are different” when, well, they are not. Next you will try to convince me you can in fact divide by zero.

238 You "year zero" folks really should do some research on the Gregorian Calendar and the Julian Calendar.

The numbering system we currently use for years was established retroactively to establish a distinction of BC/AD. It may or may not tie exactly to the birth of Christ.

Regardless - 1 BC was the year before 1 AD. There was no year zero.

I thought there was a statutory-rape court case based on this, but a quick DDGing didn't find it.

Apocryphally, a guy slept with a girl on the day before her 18th birthday, and argued she was "18 years old" and thus legal at that point.

On the day before your Xth birthday, you've lived in 365.26-times-X days, which is 1-times-X years. So on the day before your 18th birthday, you've "lived 18 years" and are 18 years old. And you're actually 18-years-and-a-day old on your 18th birthday.

I suppose a case like that really just shows that "the law is an ass," in that drawing any line where "you have personal agency only after this date" means there's a nanosecond where you don't have agency, followed by a nanosecond where you do. And your nerves don't fire fast enough for there to have been any change between those two nanoseconds. Nevermind the idea that even a full day would change a person that much. And it doesn't matter if it's having sex, signing a contract, driving a car, getting a job, or whatever "agency" you're gaining. But laws like that have to exist, so they do.

Posted by: mikeski digs out one fencepost at March 31, 2026 11:13 PM (VHUov)

241 >> for the first 364 days, you are not one year old.

That's the way we count age. You start at zero. You are not 1 year old until 1 year has passed since your birth. The AD system does not work this way. It starts at 1. This is equivalent to saying you are 1 year old at you birth. The former counts the whole number of years of your age. The latter counts which year of your life you are in.

The AD/BC sequence goes like this:

...2 BC, 1BC, 1AD, 2 AD.... There is no year zero. As I mentioned above the standard Astronomical year convention is to use 1BC as the year zero. 2BC is thus -1, 3BC is -2, etc. It makes the arithmetic work out much nicer when converting between calendar dates and counts of days since epoch (or seconds or whatever).

That is the wrinkle in the astronomical calendar year system. Now, you could use proleptic Gregorian all the way back to time immemorial, but that would mess up historical dates before the Gregorian went into effect. Now, many countries didn't adopt it until much later (looking at you Great Britain). So they decided to used proleptic Julian before Oct 15, 1582, and Gregorian thereafter.

That puts a nasty little discontinuity in there of 10 dates that don't exist. But there's no way around this really.

This was different from the century problem. It was a pattern problem. Programmers were using the final two digits of the 1900s to indicate what part of the 1900s the date was in. When the first two digits failed to be 19, this pattern failed.

Perl had the most interesting and passive aggressive way of handling this. The language’s designers redefined the pattern to be math instead. So that the built in year value went from 99 to 100 rather than from 99 to 00. Which meant that code assuming the original pattern would start showing up as “19100” instead of “1900”.

286 >> Did not know this. Had to look it up.

400 year Gregorian cycle. This estimates the tropical year as 365.2425 mean solar days. Julian estimated it 365 1/4. Even then, the Hellenistic astronomer who worked out the Julian calendar, Sosigenes of Alexandria, knew that was off a smidge, but figured it was good enough for govt. work.

AS of epoch J2000 the tropical year was 365.24217 mean solar days. That's 365.2421897 ephemeris days.

And the tropical year, on this leg of the current Milankovitch cycle is getting slightly short, and day is getting longer long term. The Gregorian will be off by one day seasonally a little before expected if that all remained constant. We don't have to worry about until around the year 4000 or so.

From a guitar player point of view AC/DC is great because you need so minimal gear to reproduce their tone. A gibson guitar, a PAF type pickup, and an old marshall amp. Done, no fancy toys, no crazy effects or processing. Guitar, amp, chord. Done. First real band I was ever in did a shitload of AC/DC, and all I needed was those 3 things, and as time went by and more and more metal bands became popular I found myself needing more and more shit. That AC/DC band was the lightest I ever traveled.

On a personal level, I and everyone with a birthday late in the year have the same problem. I was born a few days before the Dec 1 cutoff for kindergarten. As a consequence I was always the smallest, youngest in my class and my age doesn't normally correspond to the year meaning most of the year I'm younger than the math would imply.

I was just reviewing the history of the AD system. It was devised by a monk named Dionysius Exiguus in what we call the year 525 AD. The Julian calendar was being used, but the year number was based on the Diocletian era numbering.

He was working out a revised method of Easter computations, and reckoned that was the 525th year since the birth of Christ. He didn't really explain how he came up with that.

Note how neat it made leap years numbers work out, evenly divisible by 4. This is equivalent to making 1BC a leap year, and then 4 AD. There is no evidence he did this on purpose, really, and it could be a happy coincidence.

Imagine how complicated it would be if there were an offset.

356 >> Now do the event in October 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII dropped ten days out of the calendar

That was to correct the seasonal drift in the Julian calendar to make the mean equinox fall on Mar. 21 (this date is the official ecclesiastical equinox for Easter purposes, not the actual astronomical event).

The Julian calendar overestimates the tropical year, and the drift works out to about 3 days per 400 years. The equinox had drifted about 10 days earlier by that time.

And note they were correcting it back to the equinox of the First Council of Nicaea (325 AD), not all the way back to the start of the Julian calendar -- this has caused some confusion.

Polyethylene, which makes up the vast bulk of throwaway plastics, is just carbon and hydrogen. In free air, it burns sooty because it consumes all the oxygen in the air immediately in contact with the burning surface. Fuel oil burns sooty for the same reason. Burn it in a closed vessels, with forced air, and it burns clean.

The plastic you don't want to burn is PVC (vinyl) because it contains chlorine, and burning releases choking phosgene gas, COCl2, which is nasty. But an incinerator equipped with heavy-duty scrubbers should handle it.

Speaking of equinoxes and calendars and Easter. Today, April 1, is the full moon, the first full Moon of astronomical spring. In the Injun moon naming system, which we colonists culturally appropriated (and made logical), this is the Pink Moon. It's also the Paschal Moon, the one that sets the date of Easter. Passover also begins.

Besides correcting the solar part, the Gregorian reform also corrected the lunar calendar, so the calculated full Moon corresponds to the astronomical one pretty closely, and will for some time.

The Orthodox churches still use the Julian calendar and the older lunar calendar. The full Moon there has drifted a few days from the astronomical event.

Its a heritage springer softail. I don't think they made a lot of them, because you never really see them. They are the closest thing styling wise to a 1948 panhead. Put it this way, I only ever saw one in the shop. Seen some on the road here and there over the years, but only had one come in the shop. I worked on 3 since the late 90's. I have a regular springer softail, but they are more like what a chopped panhead would look like with the 21" front wheel and smaller fenders. The heritage springer has real old world styling with the full fenders and fatter front tire. The springer front end just looks great. They stopped making springer softails in 2006.

It's now April 1 here in the World's Finest Time Zone (albeit Daylight Saving adjusted). Call it 11pm instead.

Thirty-two years ago, as the clock turned over from March to April, our little family of five completed our journey in the old Suburban, moving from Chicago to Oklahoma, where we began our new life.

It was a rough transition, preceded and followed by some less-than-optimal choices, but we've never regretted leaving the Windy City behind. It was MiladyJo's birthplace; she had family there (now almost all gone or like us moved away) and with her family's support and her city wisdom, we had a pretty good fourteen years there, but the kids were becoming teens and it was 'way past time to go rural and red state.

Lots of changes in 32 years, but still happy to be here.

417 So, what was the first day of the first century?
Nada, this calendar did not exist then. Which kind of suggests that the trivia question is BS too.


The first day of the first century was January 1 in the first year of our Lord, i.e. 1 AD, when Jesus was possibly about four years old (the start of the Christian Era was misdated by as much as 4 years). This is true whether or not anyone knew it or not. It is like saying Solomon’s Temple fell in 586 BC. How did they know it was BC? They didn’t, but that is when it fell.

yeah not so new, its 29 years old, but near mint. I think Mrs B has designs on our usual 2 rider bike since this new one will be the 2 rider bike now. I think she wants the usual one set up for her to ride, one she can call hers. Which means a lowering kit, and different handle bars that fit her, and it can never really be a 2 rider bike after that. Once it's lowered it couldn't handle the weight of 2 riders. I think its why she didn't bat an eye with this new one, she wants the other one. We had it for 34 years, and its done 8 of the 10 sturgis trips. Its been totally reliable. I couldn't bring myself to sell it anyway. Its best she gets it.

Yeppers - am in insurance and was working for a major insurer at the time - in NY. I was an early "this is BS" flag thrower on that one. Despite that, we waited patiently on the NYE, along with a friend who ran JP Morgan's Financial Data Capture/booking system who was over our house for a celebration, just in case our emergency phones started ringing. (Narrator * they didn't because it was all bullsh*t") Crazily enough, I just came across a Y2K endorsement (excluding Y2K related losses) on a policy that was being renewed here in Singapore. I had to do a double take and then I went an scorched the broker who hadn't taken that off the policy 25 years ago. Also - I remember arguing, futilely with everyone that the millennium did not start until 1 January 2001 - hence I go the jeopardy question correct.

Golden retrievers rescued from "deplorable" conditions in what I guess was a breeding or hoarding situation are all in loving homes now.

My favorite Cafe story: 11-year-old dog who spent seven years in a shelter finally got adopted and lived her best life.

My second favorite story: Pregnant dog is rescued and family friends care for and then adopt all 11 puppies, and once a year, they have a big family reunion.

I was just looking at the Artemis countdown timeline. NASA will stream this on their Youtube channel. Other streamers will likely being doing their feeds as well. Anyway, the main broadcast beings at 12:50 PM.

Tanking operations, if they're a go, will start around 7:45AM, and they may stream some of that, but it will be boring, unless something explodes.

Crew will head to the pad around 1:45PM. Blastoff will be at 6:45PM. Well, that's the scheduled time. There will be a delay, I'm sure. Launch window is 2 hours, so they've got until 8:45PM.

I never gambled much but I won when I went to the horse track betting on straight win place and show tickets. All well less than $50 bucks. Horse racing was the only time I spent an afternoon winning consistently (hit eight out of 12 races in the money). And $2 buck tickets added up to less than $25 dollars for twelve races. Probably won about double the amount I bet that day.

Vegas on a TDY to Nellis AFB, I lost about thirty bucks--a bit on slots, a bit on black jack, a bit on roulette back in the early 90's. Enough to say I did it. Dog track I would go with friends, get a few beers, and spend about $20 bucks for an evening including refreshments. Rarely won on those two buck tickets.

Never been cared enough anymore to gamble after my youth.

Mangos are related to poison ivy and poison oak, and contain urushiol, the substance that causes irritation, rash and itching. So if you have a sensitivity or an allergy you can get what is essentially a case of poison ivy in your mouth and throat from eating mango.

92 Skittles Kittleson did link one good point:
Spain's shift to "renewable" or "clean" energy has meant that its energy prices ain't so bad. Because they don't rely on Gulf LNG like a lot of Europe.
Their energy bills might be high, but they won't be shockingly high. Also Spain has a lot of empty land with sunlight; it's comparable to the high plains of the US.
Solar makes sense there, maybe wind too. Not Germany so much.
This explains why Spain doesn't care about the war and is free to thumb its nose at the US. Also maybe explains why Trump is shaming Britain and France to step up (and probably should shame Germany), and can't touch Spain.

100 because Spain hadn't invested in battery power storage is my guess.
Gas powered turbines have "momentum", so when they run out of fuel they take awhile to spin down. If the solar is out and there isn't spare battery power, the power goes out right away.

For a more sobering appraisal,
"Spain's solar sector faces a dual crisis of oversupply and grid instability, characterized by severe economic losses for developers and a catastrophic grid failure in April 2025. Overproduction has driven wholesale electricity prices to zero or negative levels for significant portions of the day, causing project valuations to plummet from €200,000 to as low as €28,000 per megawatt. Simultaneously, the April 28, 2025 blackout, which plunged 55 million people in Spain and Portugal into darkness, exposed vulnerabilities in the grid's ability to handle high renewable penetration without sufficient inertia."

Posted by: whig at March 31, 2026 08:42 PM (E4rtv)

122 Continued, source Brave AI

Key issues driving these problems include:

Grid Inertia Deficit: The heavy reliance on solar and wind, which use grid-following inverters, left the system without the physical inertia needed to stabilize frequency, causing cascading failures when generation was lost.
Curtailment and Financial Loss: Grid operator Red Eléctrica has issued curtailment orders to shut down solar plants during peak production, often without compensation, while limited export capacity to France prevents the surplus from being sold abroad.
Regulatory and Bureaucratic Barriers: Slow permitting processes and a lack of regulated markets for ancillary services like voltage control have stalled the deployment of necessary battery storage, which is critical for managing the energy glut.
Legacy Policy Risks: The industry still grapples with the long-term impact of the "sun tax" and retroactive subsidy cuts from the 2008-2012 era, which created lasting distrust among investors and homeowners.

While the government aims to double solar capacity to 76GW by 2030, the sector is currently in a "freefall" with a forecasted slowdown in new projects for 2026.

130 92 Skittles Kittleson did link one good point:
Spain's shift to "renewable" or "clean" energy has meant that its energy prices ain't so bad. Because they don't rely on Gulf LNG like a lot of Europe.
Their energy bills might be high, but they won't be shockingly high. Also Spain has a lot of empty land with sunlight; it's comparable to the high plains of the US.
Solar makes sense there, maybe wind too. Not Germany so much.
This explains why Spain doesn't care about the war and is free to thumb its nose at the US. Also maybe explains why Trump is shaming Britain and France to step up (and probably should shame Germany), and can't touch Spain.

Grid instability caused (you see this on a small scale as well in installs if one part of the solar array is generating more power than another part (shaded, dirty, whatever), the whole system then defaults (unless you have micro inverters for every several panels) to a lower energy output.

In a large grid, variable power supplies like solar or wind need substantial backup to keep the grid stable, avoid voltage spikes or sags, and to keep the frequency (50 hz IRRC in Euroland) from deviating. That means you need power sources that can spin up immediately when the power from variable sources start dropping (and some means of dumping excess power which is a bit easier). That means usually natural gas generators as battery storage is insufficient in Spain at this time to do it. Nukes, coal, and I think oil, generators take a fair chunk of time to come online.

Dunno. I think the French themselves have not been building much and the Germans now are a big customer of French nuke power after shutting down their own and cutting off their gas supplies from Russki land.

I think large arrays of either solar or wind are a mistake versus smaller scale backup units at homes where it could serve as redundancy for the main grid without causing as much problems with instability.

Grids are fickle things and lack of heat or cooling can cause a lot of deaths as our housing and our lifestyles are not congruent anymore with third world conditions.

And Sphere. I didn't like the movie.

The following is a spoiler but it's so old I'm making the command decision a spoiler is ok.

So in Crichton's book of the same name that it was based on at the end he uses the neat literary device of the untrustworthy narrator. Based on how the end is narrated and the dialog between the main characters coming up to the surface you know that the chick character has accessed the sphere and is now controlling everything, every aspect of reality. Everything on earth, humanity, all of that portion of the universe is now screwed. Because the woman is mental. And really, no one could have that ability and not screw everything up. But definitely not her. But the movie erases all of that.

At the end of the movie it's all great, no one has the power, lets just tie it all up with a nice little bow. - FIN -

Someone died while we were backpacking. He was rappelling into a canyon and it went wrong. We do not have the technical skills to do that sort of thing solo. We just backpacked. We hired a shuttle to take us to the trailhead. He took our picture just in case we died and help was needed identifying us. That was sobering. But we had an awesome time.

145 Now the end of the Sphere movie would make since if you read the book in a sort of half assed meta way. The writing of the ending of the movie was actually controlled by the chick's power, and so you the viewer don't even know. Unless you read the book. Reading is a power that trumps the Sphere power? That would be neat. But I think the screenwriters, directors, producers were just lazy and I'm sure Crichton liked the money.

For most National Parks, there is a book that describes various deaths that took place in each park. Death in Yellowstone is one (horrible tales of people boiling in the thermal pools or eaten by grizzlies.). I find these and read before going somewhere. Those are manuals of what not to do. Sometimes, people just had bad luck. But mostly, the deaths were dumb and avoidable. I may become a victim of Mr. Darwin yet. Better than sitting at home getting old.

One time my daughter and I hiked up the trail past Lake Louise in Banff. At the beginning, next to the lake where the trail is a paved path, was a group of people learning ropes to descend a cliff. Novices and trainers I'm guessing. One guy was in trouble about 40 feet up, and was starting to shout. Maybe his strength was failing and he thought he was going to fall. I felt kind of bad for the guy. I don't know how they got him down, I assume there is some obvious or established way of doing that.

This resulted in our entire internal codebase being publicly exposed including thousands of files with every agent command, all system prompts, the complete query engine, Undercover Mode, Bypass Permissions Mode, and our internal telemetry configuration.

Even if you don't like Trump his presidency is now on the line over this not to mention his desire to unite the Western Hemisphere and his legacy. If nothing else his ego would never allow it. He's not going to walk away with anything other than a win.

He knows better than we do what the stakes are and more importantly what the situation is in Iran right now. And all he does every single day is fight. Why would anyone think, yep, he's right on the verge of victory so this is exactly when he's going to blow it?

Yeah, but he needs to be careful with that, too. Our military is nowhere near what it was even in the 1990s from a personnel standpoint, we have a lot of aging platforms that will need to be replaced, the ones we do have are WAY too small in number for the demand placed on them, and the reality is that we really need to get serious about ramping up our drone warfare capabilities.

You still need a mixed force (a big reason the war in Ukraine is mostly a stalemate is because neither side has air superiority), but we have a whole generation of Zoomers that grew up with dual stick video game controllers in their hands. Do a deal with Zelensky to provide him with Patriots in exchange for drones, and we can get moving on that. And lets get real, Ukraine is proving itself to be FAR more capable of being a decent ally than western Europe right now. They're fighting a brutal four-year war and STILL sent dozens of advisors and equipment to the Middle East to fight back against Iran's drones.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi
@AGPamBondi

Today @TheJusticeDept sued the state of Minnesota for allowing boys to play in girls' sports and use girls' locker rooms.

This DOJ acknowledges biological reality and we refuse to let high school girls be subjected to this treatment. It's not only unfair -- it's deeply inappropriate and dangerous.

Proud to partner with @SecKennedy and @EdSecMcMahon on this important litigation.

More:



The Department of Justice announced a lawsuit Monday against Minnesota and the state's high school sports league for allowing boys to compete in girls' sports.

According to the DOJ, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) have engaged "in sex-based discrimination by requiring girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions that are designated exclusively for girls and allowing boys to invade intimate spaces designated exclusively for girls."

In doing so, MDE and MSHSL have openly defied Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding, the DOJ said in a press release.

"The Justice Department cannot ignore a state's brazen defiance of federal antidiscrimination law," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. "In service of radical gender ideology, Minnesota's actions violate Title IX and deny female athletes their hard-earned trophies, records, dignity, and safety."

The lawsuit highlights the story of Marissa Rothenberger, a biological male who pitched for the girls' varsity softball team as a junior at Champlin Park High School.

Rothenberger threw multiple shutouts, including a complete-game shutout in the Class 4A state championship game, leading the Rebels to the 2025 title.

The performance prompted federal investigations into Minnesota's compliance with Title IX and drew criticism from female athletes who said they were displaced or put at a disadvantage.

The vile Daily Mail published a straight-up hoax, claiming the bullets recovered from Charlie Kirk's body did not match those from Tyler Robinson's gun.

This is a lie. The bullet broke into pieces. It could not be matched to any gun because it is shattered and deformed. (It also couldn't be excluded as a match to Tyler Robinson's gun -- due to the poor shape of the bullet, tests are "inconclusive," as they often are.)

But the Daily Mail is thirsty for clicks, so they lied:

robbysoavedailmailhoax.jpg

dailymailhoaxsoyjacks.jpg

It may surprise you that the Daily Mail runs clickbait lies like this. In fact, they're a pure clickbait site. They are not "conservative" -- but they will publish conservative-tiling articles just because they know conservatives will click on them. They also post extremely left-leaning articles -- because they want commie clicks too.

They're like fake magazine Newsweek, which has the same mercenary, "print anything as long is it delivers clicks" credo.

Megan Basham
@megbasham

20h

This is clickbait trash and completely discrediting to the @DailyMail.

Spoke to a LEO who told me fragmentation that makes it impossible to get a match to ANY weapon happens all the time. Yet the Daily Mail is echoing Tyler Robinson's defense team nearly verbatim. They did NOT quote a single law-enforcement officer not connected to Robinson's defense who would've given their readers a better understanding of what's happening here.

They're purely leaning into this because they know there are a bunch of rabid conspiracy theorists who will not take the time to understand this.

Which makes the Daily Mail and its reporter scum in my book.

I will no longer link to this outlet. If I have to quote one of their articles, I'll just say it's from the Daily Mail with no link.

Ever wonder why Israel always has thousands of terrorists in jail that they have to release every other year because Hamas and Hezballah take a bunch of civilians hostage?

Ever wonder why Israel just doesn't kill them?

Well Israel is wondering about that too, and the left is -- get this -- outraged!

The "educated" class is a joke.

A very bad joke.

Also from Canada: This bizarre performance at the JUNO Awards, Canada's Grammies. This was apparently intended as a "tribute" to Natalie Furtado. You should listen to it. If you can get past the weird grunting and sexual breathing in the beginning, you will then learn that this singer cannot carry a single note. She doesn't even get close to a note. And her voice is all over the place so she should, per the law of large numbers, hit some notes accidentally, but she doesn't.

You had one f***in' job.

"When I spoke to someone inside Iran who I trust -- he runs a very big business, he's not a politician but he has to follow very closely all the tea leaves -- he told me, that guy is a genius!"

"And he's talking about Trump."

"And I said, why?"

"You know, he said, because he's completely confused the Iranians."

"Finally, the Iranians have met someone who is like a match for them."

Abby Phillip couldn't handle it -- she cut him off twice mid-sentence:

PHILLIP: "But do you think that's really true?"

TAJBAKHSH: "I think it's true. I think it's true, let me--"

Shut down again.

The anti-Trump narrative just got torched live on air by someone who actually knows Iran.


Sounds like a man who's trying to taint the jury pool for his eventual prosecution and secure a "not guilty" by jury nullification:

Whatever we do, we should listen to grifters like Steve Bannon and Short-Eyes Matt Gaetz:

They're totally not grifters who will claim to believe whatever conspiracy theory is getting the most Lunatic Clicks at the moment.

7 The vile Daily Mail published a straight-up hoax, claiming the bullets recovered from Charlie Kirk's body did not match those from Tyler Robinson's gun.

This is a lie. The bullet broke into pieces. It could not be matched to any gun because it is shattered and deformed. (It also couldn't be excluded as a match to Tyler Robinson's gun -- due to the poor shape of the bullet, tests are "inconclusive," as they often are.)

Appellate courts are where Trump is winning. Well over 70 percent of the time. But, as Trump is being more active than any GOP president of any recent vintage, he is drawing a lot of flak from leftists nationwide and DC's rotten borough judges. And Congress sits on its ass despite being run by the GOP supposedly.

54 Fun Fact! Kobolds had the gremlin job in old German iron mines. They would leave poisonous caltrops around the mines for the miners to step on and get sick.
Later the blue metal that was killing the clumsier miners was isolated and named "cobalt" in their "honor".
I've been down some pre-1875 mines here and there. Safety standards were nonexistent. Nobody was sweeping the floors of sharp dangerous rubble. And miners tended to be broke-ass sons of bitches, "going down pit" was considered a last resort for people with no income.

Note that Artemis II is a not-quite Apollo 8 mission. Because the SLS is the biggest boondoggle NASA has ever done, which is saying something, the current SLS configuration doesn't have the delta-v/fuel margin to put Orion into lunar orbit and get out and back to earth. So, it's just going to be a free-return figure 8 flyby.

They will go "higher" (farther beyond the Moon) that any Apollo mission did, so they'll set the record for greatest distance humans have been from earth. The return leg will also hit geocentric velocity of a smidge over 25K mph, and beat Apollo 10's return speed record by a little bit as well.

And that's about it.

$93B for the whole thing, SLS and Orion through 2025. And that doesn't include other parts of the boondoggle. The SLS was going to be upgraded to a more powerful second stage. Isaacman has cancelled that, because it wasn't going anywhere, delays and cost overruns. Now, that upgraded SLS (Dubbed Block 1B and Block 2) was going to need a bigger mobile launcher.

Bechtel got the contract for that back in 2019 or sometime. Original cost was to be about $380M and it was supposed to be completed by 2023 or something. Well, as of now, it ain't nowhere near completion, projected cost his $2.7B, and it wouldn't be ready until 2029 at least.....

They think he's dumb, so that makes them angry and confrontational, and makes them not think very hard about their strategy. And they think he's smart, which confuses the other two thoughts they had.

Note that Artemis II is a not-quite Apollo 8 mission. Because the SLS is the biggest boondoggle NASA has ever done, which is saying something, the current SLS configuration doesn't have the delta-v/fuel margin to put Orion into lunar orbit and get out and back to earth. So, it's just going to be a free-return figure 8 flyby.

They will go "higher" (farther beyond the Moon) that any Apollo mission did, so they'll set the record for greatest distance humans have been from earth. The return leg will also hit geocentric velocity of a smidge over 25K mph, and beat Apollo 10's return speed record by a little bit as well.

And that's about it.

Apollo 8 was something of a lark as well. Such a CSM only lunar orbit mission wasn't originally planned. Trouble was, there were big delays with the lunar module, and the CSM was ready well before the LM would be, and that messed up the planned mission profiles. Somebody his on the idea of a lunar orbit, and it was a hit, giving the famous Earthrise photo, probably one of the most iconic of the Apollo era. They penciled Apollo 8 as a "C-prime" mission, something they just made up on the fly.

The plan is for an actual landing in 2028. I'm not optimistic. Trump admin is really worried the Chicoms may beat us back to the Moon, which would be double not good.

The SLS-Orion is basically sunk-cost fallacy at this point, but killing it would mean a delay, and they worried about that. Can the Chicoms realistically land Chicoms on the Moon before 2030? I have no clue really, but they will not be constrained by worries about safety and all that.

It is really tempting to a lot of people that should know better like cops that the weapons light on the end of the rail is NOT a substitute for a flashlight.

Paddle Switch on the back of the unit and the rails are pretty much universal other than length. Obviously smaller units fit compact guns, etc. Usually a flip down or up bilateral switches or on cheaper/inferior units, a button that you press.

Ideally, you want one that will activate and turn off with gross movements, thus a paddle type switch rather than some button you have to press just so.

189 One quibble with Darth Santis. I don't like the use of the word "tragedy" in cases like this, because to me it suggests lack of human agency. A tornado destroying a wide swathe of homes and killing people in the process, or a multi-car pileup with fatalities because of ice and fog, or a passenger ship sinking in a typhoon are tragedies, but are accidental or acts of God. Targeting a five year old and murdering her is a deliberate evil act. I think monstrosity or atrocity is more fitting. "Tragedy" just seems too passive.

Yep. But cameras accessible through a smartphone help lessen false alarms and keep monkey temptation to go and look at a minimum.

Also have a perimeter alarm system with motion detectors/glass breakage for areas I or my wife don't frequent at night.

Also holing up in place can allow access to the big artillery rather than a handgun. Shotguns or rifles end the fight quickly versus a relatively underpowered handgun. Easy to point and aim as well.

Clearing a house with such though is something for people that practice it regularly in teams as too easy to get your weapon taken from you doing it yourself.

I'm weird about it. I even put a pinky in the semi auto's chamber and touch the empty cylinder holes of revolvers to make sure no cartridge or case is left.

Doing that as a habit means even in the dark, you can check your firearm status by feel without light.

Otherwise trying to reload a revolver with a case stuck in it (common for snubbies btw unless you raise it 90 and punch the ejector rod) or a semi auto not having the chamber cleared can happen in the wrong circumstances and tie up the firearm when you need it most.

Elon is also supposed to do an unmanned landing test of HLS on the Moon in 2027 as well.

Since SpaceX is private, they don't have to publicize their progress too much, so I really have no clue how well those HLS plans are going.

Shooting people into trenches is a mass execution. They don't all happen the same instant. If you wanted it to be more at the same time, have many teams on many roads with synchronized watches.

Doing that as a habit means even in the dark, you can check your firearm status by feel without light.

Otherwise trying to reload a revolver with a case stuck in it (common for snubbies btw unless you raise it 90 and punch the ejector rod) or a semi auto not having the chamber cleared can happen in the wrong circumstances and tie up the firearm when you need it most.

Supreme Court Rules That Free Speech Still Exists; Ketanji Brown Jackson Doesn't Understand

This should have been a 9-0 unanimous decision.

It has been the rule of the land since the founding of the Republic that the Constitution's stricture against passing "any law" limiting speech meant that no government, federal or state, could impose "viewpoint" restrictions on speech -- disfavoring or even criminalizing a specific view, argument, or belief.

Now, the Court long recognized that governments may impose "time, place, and manner" restrictions, especially on public gatherings and marches. For example, you can permit a march from 1pm to 3pm, so that the march does not interfere with rush hour traffic. You can tell the marchers they cannot walk in front of active garage entrances. You can tell the marchers they must be orderly and cannot use bullhorns that boost noise above, say, 100 decibels. That kind of thing.

But you cannot -- absolutely cannot -- pass a law or deny a permit to march based on your agreement with or disagreement with the speaker's speech. You can regulate speech as far as the time, place, and manner in which it is spoken, but you absolutely cannot regulate what that speech can say.

This was the rule controlling government regulation of free speech for 250 years, completely agreed to by all Supreme Court judges. Yes, lefty judges would of course put their thumbs on the scale and claim that some limits on speech they don't like -- like protesting outside abortion clinics -- were fair restrictions regarding "place" rather than viewpoint-based restrictions on pro-lifers, but everyone agreed on the framework for analyzing these cases.

Until today.

Gentlemen, you asked for a radical incompetent. I give you K. B. J.

The Court was nearly unanimous that Colorado cannot ban a therapist from counseling a patient to try to change his sexual orientation. Even "Wise Latina" Sotormayor joined the majority. Obama's Obamacare advisor, who cast a decisive vote on Obamacare, Elena Kagan joined the opinion.

But DEI Justice KBJ cast another lonely dissent, essentially repudiating 250 years of jurisprudence on free speech and declaring that sometimes, if the government really really really doesn't like speech and that speech is DoublePlus UnGood and Conservative, it can in fact ban speech based on what viewpoint it advances.


The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado cannot enforce its so-called "conversion therapy" ban regarding conversations between therapists and minors, saying the law likely violates the First Amendment by allowing some viewpoints but not others.

In an 8--1 decision, the high court said the law favors one viewpoint by allowing therapists to affirm a minor's gender identity or sexual orientation, but not help them to change it if they want to.

The decision stemmed from a lawsuit brought by Kaley Chiles, a licensed Christian therapist, who argued her conversations with youth clients were a form of protected speech. The Colorado government had said the conversations amounted to professional conduct that the state was allowed to regulate.

...

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion, saying the question before the high court was a "narrow one" and that Chiles did not seek to toss out the Colorado law but rather consider whether it could apply to therapy that was strictly conversational.

"The First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country," Gorsuch wrote. "It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth. However well-intentioned, any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an 'egregious' assault on both of those commitments."


In the lone dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the majority "plays with fire in this case" and that she feared "the people of this country will get burned."

Ketanji Brown Jackson has now flipped completely on this question: In an earlier case, she argued that the state had zero power to ban transgender procedures for minors. The state just didn't have the power to intrude into medical advice and treatment, she proclaimed.

Now she takes the exact opposite position -- the state has All the Power to outlaw whatever medical advice it dislikes -- based not on law, precedent, or logic, but based simply on her leftwing extremist political bias that whatever gays and transgenders want, they should get, period, the law be damned.

Note that even the corrupt Kagan calls out Ketanji Brown Jackson in her concurrence:

("I don't understand" says Ketanji Brown Jackson.)


Let me make an analogy, which illustrates the trajectory of the left.

The leftwing propaganda media used to pretend. The leftwing propaganda media plainly favored Democrats -- and plainly favored Democrat constituent blocs like criminals, welfare recipients, women, transgenders, black and "brown" people, and Muslims -- but pretended to be applying neutral "rules" in its news coverage. They didn't intend to favor these groups out of political loyalty, you see, it was just that these completely neutral "rules" compelled them to cover these stories in this way. Now that was always a lie, because there are many contradictory "rules" they can apply in any case, and they choose which of these contradictory rules to apply according to their political bias. And then they deny the bias, lying that a "rule" forced their hand, without admitting that they chose that "rule" precisely because it would result in the outcome they desired. They are too cowardly and dishonest to admit they are simply political operators, so they used to spend a lot of time spamming out perfectly-disingenuous reasons why every single "journalistic" free choice they made just happened to favor the Democrat Party and its constituent blocks.

The truth has a leftwing bias, they began saying at the end of the Age of Pretending, before they transitioned to just blatantly promoting the interests of Democrats and Democrat-favored constituent blocs.

It began under GWB, with influential Democrats decrying "both sides" and "balanced" coverage, urging "journalists" to just proclaim One Side Is Right and One Side Is Evil, which, of course, they ultimately did. Now they just openly favor and cheerlead the Democrat Party and its constituent blocs, and openly smear Republicans and their constituent blocs (especially white people, males, straight men, and Christians) without any excuse or justification or any pretense whatsoever that they are applying neutral "rules" independent of their own partisan political agenda.

Very, very similarly: Leftwing judges used to pretend that they weren't deliberately and consciously favoring Democrats and Democrat constituent blocs but were instead merely applying neutral "rules" that dictated their decisions. True enough, this was all a lie -- just as it was with the media -- and they would choose which supposedly neutral rule would apply in each case to favor the parties they went into the case favoring. But still, they did pretend. They would blatantly mis-characterize and mis-categorize parties in a dispute to elevate the party they politically favored and disadvantaged the party they disfavored, but still, they pretended to be working within a legal framework of analysis.

But Ketanji Brown Jackson now does what leftwing "journalists" did before her -- she decides that all of this talk of "rules-based" decisionmaking is just a game that favors the Bad People, so the Good People should just throw out all rules and do what leftists have been doing forever anyway, just ruling in favor of the left's favored constituent groups and ignoring laws and logic to get to whatever outcome the leftists' "conscience" dictates.

Yes, she's stupid, and yes, she's chosen this theory of jurisprudence precisely because it rejects intellectual analysis and says "Just do whatever is in your stupid, corrupt communist heart."

But she is NOT an aberration. This is where the entire left is now, and all of the absurd decisions you see coming from leftwing judges are following this same theory of jurisprudence, that explicitly puts particular people -- politically favored people -- over principle, and political outcomes over logic and coherence.

No longer are we a nation of "laws not men." We are now a nation of particular "men" with specific Favored Identity Points, and the law must always be corrupted, distorted, perverted and twisted to deliver the outcomes favored by those with those Favored Identity Points.

And they're not even pretending to work within a system of objective rules any longer.

Update: Gorsuch mocked Justice DEI for claiming she wasn't really restricting the therapist's speech because she was allowed to sometimes speak or even "write papers."

8 I wonder if Gorsuch released the case today (he'd have some wiggle room as the majority's author) because he realizes he created a monster with his earlier decision treating sexual orientation as being a protected class. One the one hand, he's always been consistent about supporting religious liberty, on the other, he's never seemed that interested in yanking the trannies' chains until now, and the choice of date (if not accidental) seems like a hell of a troll.

16 A plaintiff seeking a temporary injunction is not automatically responsible for all losses incurred by the defendant. Liability is generally limited to the amount of the bond/security posted, which is intended to cover any such losses if the injunction is later found improper. Posting the bond ensures that the plaintiff’s request for equitable relief does not unfairly burden the defendant financially while the court considers the merits of the case.

Does this type ruling give teachers the "right" to groom "Their Children", just helping them find their inner gender dysphoria? It sounds like that would also be "free speech", though it does amount to "professional conduct" and grooming kids is not part of any classroom (or should not be).

That would be a good law and we wouldn’t be cheering that it got stuck down, as the CO conversion law was.

What was at issue was a law banning therapists from talking to gay or trans kids about converting back to their normal and usual sexual orientations and genders.

That’s what Gorsuch was talking about: the law allowed therapists to affirm a gay or tranny’s change in orientation, but not to try to talk them out of it.

Does this type ruling give teachers the "right" to groom "Their Children", just helping them find their inner gender dysphoria? It sounds like that would also be "free speech", though it does amount to "professional conduct" and grooming kids is not part of any classroom (or should not be).

190 RawStory: Justice Kagan 'signaled' to other states how to get around 8-1 ruling on anti-gay therapy. "Justice Kagan says, if this were viewpoint neutral and instead just regulated a subject matter of speech that is forbidden, for example, in doctor's offices, that would be a much tougher call,” Rubin explained. "Justice Kagan may be signaling to other states that have a concern about things like conversion therapy.”

It’s crazy how liberal and far right judges play different games. Kagan and Sotomayor are acting like it’s up to them to make thoughtful and principled rulings and maybe sometimes that means coming down in favor of something they personally disagree with.

Alito and the Handmaid and Justice Brett just decide to invent new law and ignore precedent in service of the fascist project.

And now that therapy is free speech there is no recourse if a therapist decides to start encouraging their clients to kill themselves.

Kagans concurrence is word salad. Jackson's dissent is persuasive.

194 There's something that bothers me about this ruling, and I'm not saying that Justice DEI is right. But try entertain this possibility:

Suppose a cardiologist starts giving verbal advice to his patients that they should smoke two packs of cigarettes every day. He believes that all the studies showing that cigarettes are harmful were flawed. Other than that, he practices cardiology perfectly. He performs procedures correctly and gives the correct prescriptions. But he still advises two packs a day of unfiltered Lucky Strikes.

Can the state pull his cardiology license? Or does he have a constitutional right to give dangerous medical advice in the course of his practice?

I think the answer is obviously yes, the state can restrict what medical advice he gives.

The difference, and I don't think the opinion addresses this, is that despite what the "expert" consensus may be, issues of sexuality and gender are just too fuzzy to decide that one position is absolutely correct. And so there must be room for differences of opinion.

But it seems preposterous to me that the state could license a physician and then have no control over the care he gives by verbal instructions.

Living in Russia sucked so much balls that this guy *voluntarily* returned to face the vicissitudes of American justice in a double-murder trial rather than keep doing it.

Any time she wore a skirt, for instance, out came the knee socks. Dresses were long. She almost never wore heels on any height.

The main point of Kagan, and Sotomayor joining her, is that this protection works both ways. The government cannot stop someone from telling a kid to be straight and their birth sex and the government equally cannot stop someone from telling a kid to be of another sexual orientation or identity.

That is why they agreed with the majority rather than spewing nonsense with Jackson. They want to enshrine government protection of grooming.

Kristi Noem's Husband Is a Not-So-Secret Crossdresser Who Adorns Himself With Ridiculous Fake Breasts

So I was wondering: Why does Kristi Noem feel that she can have a very non-covert, practically overt affair with Corey Lewandowski? She refused to even deny it when asked about it at a congressional hearing.

I'm not being judgey, I'm asking: Why does she think that? Doesn't she worry about the husband finding out?

The answer to the latter is "Nah, bruv." She does not worry about a jealous heterosexual husband, not at all.

She might worry about her husband stealing her Wonderbras, though.

And maybe this also explains why Trump moved so quickly to pack her off to Shield of the Americas Military School.

These are the photos that allegedly show Kristi Noem's husband Bryon wearing comically oversized, lopsided breasts -- complete with fake protruding nipples -- to female members of an online fetish community.

The Daily Mail obtained "hundreds" of messages purportedly sent between the former Secretary of Homeland Security's husband and three women who are involved in the so-called "bimbofication" fetish scene.

The kinky community involves people injecting their busts with freakishly large amounts of saline in pursuit of a "Barbie-doll"-like appearance.

The pictures show the South Dakota insurance mogul, who has three children with Noem, clad in pink hotpants and a skin-tight, flesh-colored crop-top stuffed with enormous balloons made to resemble massive cockeyed breasts.

His face is clearly visible in several of the photos, including one in which his expression is so mundane it could be from a driver's license photo.

In others he flashes a more flirty "kissy-face" pose in which he's pursing his lips.

The outlet spoke with national security experts who said the existence of the scandalous photographs could have made his wife subject to potential blackmail threats.

...

"They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won't expose this, and if you don't, we will. That's espionage 101."

Kristi Noem was ousted from her role at DHS on March 5 after a pair of disastrous congressional hearings, including fumbling a question about whether she was having an affair with married top aide Corey Lewandowski.

Noem claims the family has been "blindsided" by this. Press X to doubt. Her weird behavior suggests she's been dealing with this for years.

See the article for the pictures. This pervert is wearing a shirt, but you can see the fake hooters and their misaligned nipples under the fabric of the shirt.

I was going to post one but... eh. I'm not mad at you guys today so I won't do you like that.

Piper's tweet has a snap if you must see it.

If you don't want to see it: Imagine a seedier version of Hugh Laurie with giant foam-latex breasts with nipples that point the way to Bangor, Maine and Albuquerque, NM simultaneously.

His decisions this term have been better except for Noem, and except for his, I assume, genuine contemplation of appointing Nazi short-eyes Matt Gaetz as director of FBI.

But mostly very solid. A complete 180 from the first term.

15 Why does Kristi Noem feel that she can have a very non-covert, practically overt affair with Corey Lewandowski? She refused to even deny it when asked about it at a congressional hearing.

I mean, you follow the example your leader sets, and Trump's no angel...

Of course, she's no Trump, which is why she can't get away with it.

61 Biden's Supreme Court DEI hire wrote the dissent in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision striking down Colorado's law that made it a crime to ... checks notes ... tell confused little boys and girls that they were not members of the alternative sex. Her "reasoning" was that the first amendment doesn't apply if "medical professionals" agree that kids will commit suicide if you don't indulge their trendy transgender identity statements.

I bring this up only to remind everyone that Biden's Supreme Court DEI hire is related by marriage to Paul Ryan, who thinks she's a brilliant mind.

"Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji's intellect, for her character, and for her integrity, is unequivocal," Ryan wrote.

72 Willow'd:

Last night, one of the 'Ettes predicted (incorrectly) that 'Rons would be panting all over the prospect of racy photos of Fang Fang coming out in the Swalwell Files. Instead, the general reaction was "Eh, she's average for a Chinese gal. 5 or 6, in context." But clearly, that doesn't stop some of the guys here normally, who appear (as Ace has noted) to be in prison.

I think the difference is that ordinary women are interesting, and 304s are not. You can find photos of above-average 304s by accident, with an innocent search on the wrong terms, and perfect 10s are an easy deliberate query away. But -- this is my hypothesis -- the accidentally famous ordinary woman retains an element of mystery, and that's what incites the interest.

I didn't have a problem with Noem shooting a dog on her ranch. It was a killer and couldn't be trained out of it. It was her putting it in an autobiography and expecting everybody to see it as something cool, an authentic piece of rural life.

I think you are correct, but extend it to any high-stress, more-than-full-time job.

Females in these roles take on the stresses and time sinks of being in traditionally-masculine roles but want to retain their feminine beauty, so they do botox, fillers, surgery, and makeup to cover it all up until the inevitable Tammy Faye look sets in.

Bernie tweeted that he wants to tax billionaires at 5% a year, raise $4.4T every year and give “families” (whatever that even means) a $12k check with the money.

Slight problem is for 5% of a number to be worth 4.4 trillion that number needs to be $880T. Which is about 10X the net worth of all of the billionaires in the country. And then of course the whole and stock market plunging thing as billionaires have to sell stock to pay the tax.

Well, she's been put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. of the Americas. Unfortunately, that means she gets Samuel L. Jackson's eyepatch, instead of Scarlett Johansson's catsuit. However! Since she kind of looks a little like Angelina Jolie, this opens up the possibility of a Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow crossover. Niiice.

Slight problem is for 5% of a number to be worth 4.4 trillion that number needs to be $880T. Which is about 10X the net worth of all of the billionaires in the country.

The presented case isn't so crazy...it only applies to births from now on, no retroactively. But, SCOTUS will have to address the possibility that, if they rule in Trump's favor, what happens if a future administration wants to go back and invalidate all the previous citizenship decisions. That will be awkward.

I expect a punt as well. It wouldn't necessarily cause chaos (ex post facto laws are illegal, you cannot penalize something that was legal before the law changed), but I don't see them making that significant a change.

Gonna disagree here. Men are MUCH more agreeable with whatever message is being delivered if it's being delivered by a woman who is easy on the eyes.

Kaileigh McEneany is good-looking and also happens to be good at her job. She would be less "good at her job" if she weren't good-looking, because men, at least those of us who are generally receptive to what the Trump WH has to say about things, don't want to have to look at some purple hair nosering yammering at us.

They're actually selling suicide as a blissful fashion choice.


Canada is precisely what the left wants the US to be.

Below, Canadian leftists at an NDP party meeting. NDP is the "New Democrat Party," I think, which is code for "communists. They are not a fringe party -- they are the second biggest (and soon to be biggest?) party of the left. Justin Castreaux relied on their support throughout his corrupt rule. No Canadian leftist can win an election without the NDP's support.

The Canadian communists squabble over the exact rights and privileges that their "Equity" cards grant them. An "Equity" card is a card granting you explicit advantages for your identity over people with non-favored identities, which, as the ringleader of this commie clown show explicitly admits, is almost entirely about favoring minorities, women, and transgenders over white "dudes."

The "Gender Equity Cards" allow people with Special Identities to cut in line to make their stupid points faster, before people with Less Special Identities.

They argue whether a woman with a "cisgender woman" Equity Card should have priority over a "racialized transgender" -- an Asian man in a dress -- or not.


In this clip, a Stronk and Empowered Black Woman reminds the speaker that these "equity cards" have no value or power outside this NDP party meeting. What she means is that she wants "equity cards" giving her explicit race and gender advantages over white "dudes' in real life. She wants to flash her Equity Card in real life to cut in line at the bank and take handicapped parking. (Those are for examples, she didn't actually admit that.)

Sorry for the short post, I was trying to write the Supreme Court decision post but it's taking time. So I'm just posting this as a quickie.

26 A federal judge just ordered the halt of all construction on the new ballroom.

-----------------------------
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon wrote in his decision that no statute 'comes close' to giving the President the authority to take on the project without Congressional oversight.

Leon then approved the Trust's request to have work stopped on the ballroom project amid the legal fight.

The President responded to the news with a furious Truth Social post.

In it, he labeled the Trust a 'Radical Left Group of Lunatics.'

91 Euthanasia is the inevitable result of government-run and -paid healthcare. Why pay for years if not decades of care for person X when you can just kill them?

That's how the paper-pushers look at all this: we can convince these troubled people to kill themselves now, and it will save us millions of dollars in healthcare that we otherwise would have had to spend on them.

If they can eliminate a significant portion of the elderly population -- the demographic with the highest expense for healthcare -- then it will save the government billions of dollars. It's a no-brainer from a government bureaucrat's perspective.

103 91 Euthanasia is the inevitable result of government-run and -paid healthcare. Why pay for years if not decades of care for person X when you can just kill them?

That's how the paper-pushers look at all this: we can convince these troubled people to kill themselves now, and it will save us millions of dollars in healthcare that we otherwise would have had to spend on them.

If they can eliminate a significant portion of the elderly population -- the demographic with the highest expense for healthcare -- then it will save the government billions of dollars. It's a no-brainer from a government bureaucrat's perspective.

BREAKING:

Starmer suffers major defeat in court regarding his plans to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago from the UK to Mauritius.

The judge of the BIOT Supreme Court (British Indian Ocean Territory) has:

- Has overturned Tony Blair’s law from 2004 that removed the Chagossians' Right of Abode.

- Calculated that the cost of Starmer's Chagos surrender will be up to and over £48bn. The government claimed it would only be £3.7 billion

- The judge made it clear that there is no historical authority for a prerogative power to expel or permanently exclude a population of British subjects from the territory to which their citizenship belongs.

- The Judge quashed the Governnent's removal orders against the 4 Chagossians who recently returned to Chagos to stop the transfer to Mauritius.

This is undoubtedly one of the biggest moments in the campaign to Save Chagos and might completely derail the government’s plans to transfer the territory to Mauritius as there are now Chagossians living on the islands.

204 I saw a few comments yesterday relative to Euthanasia and the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to comment on it.

1. The UK House of Commons passed an Euthanasia Bill back in June 2025.

2. It's currently stuck in the House of Lords while they play around with the wording. It will pass eventually.

3. Last year the UK government automatically made Organ Donation and "Opt Out" process. So, you are automatically signed up to donate your organs unless you take steps to remove yourself from that eventuality.
There were no debates. There were no discussions in Parliament. They just made a Fiat decision without input from any parties on this.

Organ donation from Euthanasia is a VERY VERY VERY lucrative business for a number of parties. Currently, in Canada only Nova Scotia has "Opt Out" on organ donation and they still lead the world in the number of organs donated via Euthanasia. You can see what I'm getting at. Hello Ulterior motive.

Posted by: Orson at March 31, 2026 04:13 PM (dIske)

205 Committing euthanasia is a crisis of faith at the end. It's losing trust that God will be with you every day of your life. One should never encourage another into it, and instead, should be steadfast and encourage the opposite.

Posted by: Nova Local at March 31, 2026 04:13 PM (tOcjL)

206 I'll add to my comment above that the danger with normalizing suicide for medical reasons isn't just limited to greedy government bureaucrats wanting to save money by killing grandma.

You know who else wants to kill grandma? Certain members of her family who stand to inherit, or who just don't want to deal with her any more.

If you think there isn't a significant number of people who would kill grandma over money, then you are underestimating how black some people's hearts are.

The NDP has become a parody of itself. This is the sort of stuff that conservatives would come up with to make fun of leftists 15 years ago, and the NDP took it as sound advice.

Don't forget they hired a US consultant to tell them they have to relate to "Canadian lived experiences"

Suffering from 3rd party cringe for this even taking place in my country. It's started to show up on international subreddits and it's fucking embarrassing.

Bizarre that the NDP are leaning even harder into this performative dog and pony show stuff, after losing nearly all voter confidence in the last election for their tone-deafness regarding the real and pressing issues facing average Canadians

The worst the north american left has done against themselves is starting to speak about white privilege to people barely scraping by, and then asking them to understand the nuance of the concept while never being nuanced on any issue ever.

That's a valid perspective. I'll take it a step further. You'll have a hard time convincing me that the original release of COVID in China was to remove the "parasites" from society (elderly, infirm etc.). They were under the impression that it could be controlled, but it got away from them, and then they went all in on making the rest of world face the regional problems they created in name of a culling. (one child rule put them in a bad situation and their draconian personal credit programs came out at the same time). Then there was the head of research for their military branch doing a header off the top of a Lab in Wuhan about 2 months later.

This is the purpose of cutting off medically indicated access to opiates in this country also. And unfortunately Trump has been duped into agreeing with it. It's the first step towards government sponsored euthanasia in this country.

275 All kidding aside, I support someone being able to end their life when the alternative is pain and suffering with a miserable quality of life. Obviously very stringent safeguards are needed, and it should never be done because of money. Nationalized health care with its built-in shortages and the need to save money is the real problem.

Instead, the general reaction was "Eh, she's average for a Chinese gal. 5 or 6." But clearly, that doesn't stop some of the guys here normally, who appear to even be turned on by gargoyles.

I think the difference is that ordinary women are interesting, and 304s are not. You can find photos of above-average 304s by accident, with an innocent search with the wrong terms, and perfect 10s are an easy deliberate query away. But -- this is my hypothesis -- the accidentally famous ordinary woman retains an element of mystery, and that's what incites the interest.

Trump To Cowardly Countries Complaining They Can't Get Their Oil Through the Strait of Hormuz: If You Want Your Oil, Send In Your Navy and Take It Yourselves, Tough-Guys

straitofhormuztakeit.jpg

Is Trump shifting the Overton Window to suggest that whoever can control the Strait -- like America -- should control the Strait?


American Debunk
@AmericanDebunk


This post by Trump is pre-framing what's to come. Read along and you'll start to see it too.

When Trump tells the UK to "go to the Strait and just TAKE IT," the surface read is that he's venting at allies who didn't show up.

But the deeper move is priming the the public (and world) with a new mental frame: the Strait of Hormuz is not Iranian sovereign territory anymore.

It's available real estate. It's takeable. Anyone with courage can have it.

That's a massive Overton Window shift delivered, in a tweet, as an insult to the UK.

A year ago "America controls the Strait of Hormuz" sounded like some twisted fantasy. Today Trump is telling Britain to go grab it themselves like it's a parking spot.

In a few weeks, Trump has normalized the concept of Western control over the Strait so thoroughly that full US seizure now looks like the modest option compared to what he's suggesting allies do on their own. This is intentional.

The persuasion mechanics here are priming plus pre-selling. Whatever the eventual deal includes (US Navy permanent presence, joint patrols, Iranian withdrawal from mining infrastructure) the public will accept it because Trump already told them the Strait is there for the taking. Your subconscious mind has already been primed to accept it.

This "psychological baseline" is going to influence Trump-Iran negotiations. Best believe it.

"The hard part is done" works the same way. He's managing public fatigue.

It translates to "we won, relax, this is cleanup".

This keeps approval from eroding while the Pakistan talks drag through April.

Trump isn't describing reality. He's installing it.

Say the Strait is takeable enough times and it becomes takeable in the public mind.

It's been 10 years of Trump and he still leaves me in awe with his persuasion.

And Trump is also shifting the Overton Window on the NATO alliance -- and I have shifted with him. An alliance is like a contract between nations; it either provides reciprocal advantage to both parties, or it's repudiated.

I used to worry that Europe would be taken over by Russia with NATO. Now I don't care if it is or isn't, and anyway, Europe is choosing Soviet Communism on its own without Russia tanks compelling it to.

And obviously, it is Islam conquering Europe, not Russia.


Note that last one is from the State Department's official account.



Did Trump manage to open the Strait of America?

The Dow shot up 900 points, which equates to forty fucking million Deutschmarks.

Western civilization may never win another war if this keeps up

This is maddening. The radical left, mainstream media, and the woke right are running the exact same playbook with the US/Israel campaign against Iran as they did with Israel in Gaza

They create impossible standards in terms of:

-Zero Casualties
-Zero Economic Disruption
-Zero Uncertainty
-Zero Time to Accomplish the Mission
-Zero Collateral Damage

And everything the bad guys do is actually our fault because we made them do it....same script as Gaza...the bad guys have no agency and it's actually our fault

Day 32 of the Iran war:
-degraded missile factories, nuclear sites, IRGC bases, and proxy networks
-the Supreme Leader is gone...and his replacement is s vegetable
-all the top leadership is gone...in fact, we don't even know who's in charge

Yet the all you hear is endless doomerism

And all of this sounds exactly like the demoralization propaganda from Russia, China, and Iran, that has infiltrated our society for years via social media and retarded influencers chasing click

This isn't responsible skepticism

It's weakness...

And you'll never get peace through strength when the opponent knows you lack resolve and they can just wait you out

This is madness

Posted by: Smell the Glove at March 31, 2026 02:41 PM (19SAM)

21 One of the analysis of the recent blockage was not that Iran had the reach to kill tankers, as much as Lloyds of London and the other major insurance players were getting their threat assessments from information leaked from "Five Eyes" assessments, and when MI6 was left out of the discussion about what Trump was doing with the Navy, they had no way of determining how to judge the risk and cancelled all insurance in the area.
This stopped all transiting, because no tanker is going to move anywhere without insurance.

Now whether this was on purpose or not, is up for question.

Dr Robert Malone discusses Maritime insurance and the roots of Lloyd's of London

"Control insurance and you control trade.
85% of the world’s trade moves by sea and nearly half of it is insured through the London market."

If those countries do build up the courage, it really moves the overton window that countries can do what they need to in their best interest. You took oil. We are taking Iceland.

If they don't. Then you aren't with us. That doesn't make us enemies, but it doesn't make us friends. Clarity.

When you do need things from us, they come with a price because we are no longer friends.

There is still the downside risk of getting bogged down. But if we take things for us, that helps a lot. And this framing basically says we get to take things.

Whether you like it or not we've been acting as Europe's security blanket for generations. NATO was just one aspect. And they've repaid us by never fully funding their NATO commitments, allowing their militaries to wither and basically becoming passive assuming we will always be there to protect them and fight their battles.

The hell with fighting for us, they wouldn't even let us use their airspace or our bases on their soil that we pay for and act as a deterrent for them.

116 When Trump tells the UK to "go to the Strait and just TAKE IT," the surface read is that he's venting at allies who didn't show up.

But the deeper move is priming the the public (and world) with a new mental frame: the Strait of Hormuz is not Iranian sovereign territory anymore.


Actually, I think it might be shallower than that. Trump follows social media closely. A lot of right-wing commentators and such have adopted the phrase "we can just do things" to excuse/encourage the president to act, often unilaterally. I assume he, or his advisors like Miller, see that, like the sound of it, and are kind of echoing the sentiment.

We’re a net exporter but this will drive the prices of oil up both at home as well. Not exactly the way I envisioned our “green future” but if it works it works. Electric cars are superior in almost every category. I welcome the change.

I like Trump, the more he stay in power the more unified EU becomes, the dude did more for EU unity than anyone in last 20 years. I would like for Trump to go for third term. European return to be one of the big players has a nice ring to it

The program was destroyed. But there was confusion over how much of the 60% enriched uranium might have survived the attack. See how that works?

And then when we attempted to negotiate with them the Iranians helpfully told us they still had enough near weapons grade uranium to make 11 nukes and against all international law they were going to make them.

So what should a responsible leader do? Nothing as you propose or stop a country that for 47 years has been at war with us and funding proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah to attack our people and our interests?

I'll take the president who wants to stop religious fanatics who believe their messiah will arrive once they end the world. And if our so called allies, NATO and otherwise, don't want to help then that should be considered for future alliances.

The mullahs have been shown to not be in charge. It's the IRGC -- in other words, a military dictatorship. The U.S. and Israel are busy killing them and breaking all of their toys. The IRGC is reduced to launching a few missiles and drones, and having random Lt. Colonels talking $h!t on video.

The neighboring Arab states are publicly begging Pres. Trump to topple the Islamic regime in Iran. That's an enormous change in Iran's relationship with the neighboring states.

The Euroweenies are going to pay a tax for the oil, but it's going to be to the U.S.

The damage is very extensive this time around, it'll be a decade plus before they could get to where they were, and that is assuming they don't collapse to infighting. Granted the US is now in a position to deal with them relatively easily, but we've gained a lot here at fairly little cost, especially in altering Iran's relations in the Middle East.

Really the only material pressure limiting maintenance bombing on the US side of negotiations is the mid-terms.

Mostly, but if Trump actually did something significant against the will of his base, we'd call him out. A large ground invasion of Iran, followed by permanent presence and nation building (Iraq/Afghanistan 2.0) would be a deal breaker. This minor conflict, even if it escalated to a few troops going in, smashing something, and leaving? Not a big deal.

If Trump said "I love Mexicans, almost as much as Trump Tower taco bowl salads", opened the borders, and granted amnesty to all illegals, people would be pissed.

He does little things that go against the MAGA base at times, but nothing serious, so we're not too upset in return.

The report did ​not specify when the aircraft were due to land but said permission was denied because the U.S. ​had not requested clearance and Italy's military leadership had not been consulted, as required ⁠under treaties governing the use of U.S. military installations in the country.

It might go off the rails. Trump's team has realized that the world as it was was all about posturing. And he has governed since his re-election with that as the overriding assessment of all of his political enemies. So his administration has been able to maneuver his enemies into untenable situations that have been tough to get out of. That is what is going on right now.

Who would you prefer do it? An actual world power like China? I wouldn't. Barking mad Muslims? That's the one that will happen, and it's the worst outcome.

This is not the outcome I would like to see but it does make sense. Ever since long before I joined the Navy iran has been closing the straits to interrupt the flow of oil to the world.


They closed them in the 70s and that caused the gas lines in the US and closed them again in the late 80s when we had to go in and blow them up during the tanker wars. On and off multiple times they have threatened to close them or dumped mines there in the last 25 years.

Where the jerk off has a point is that "regime change" when we do it isn't supposed to hand over, say, Iraq to half a Shiite client of Iran and half ISIS; or Libya to a bunch of slave traders; or Somalia to pirates.
But I'm not in this for regime change. I'm in this for crippling Iran's force projection and cowing its leaders into not funding foreign terrorists against us.

Stuff changes. Even I can see this. The fact that Iran shot a 4000km missile longer than people thought should clear this right up. A ballistic missile that could have hit Paris, London, Berlin and Rome.

THEY LIE! IT IS THEIR religion to lie!

But! Ohhh! You are in the Situation Room. You know stuff. Trump said he wouldn't do this! High dudgeon of despair!

Yesterday on either the UK DM or NY Post a freaking STRIPPER in San Diego said!!!! that Marines were dreading going to Iran.

I know when my sources are STRIPPERS it shall be believed and engraved in stone.

On top of everything with stubbornly ordering a blouse for 2hrs of my valuable time, a beetle got in the house and my husband had to kill it. This was not planned anymore than the Iran ballistic missile, but we took care of it. Otherwise I would have been freaking out by bedtime.

Even so, with a despotic elite on the ropes, I'd expect a lot more disorganized, spontaneous, poorly armed mass violence against regime officials and assets than we're seeing.

This leads to me to suspect that popular support for the regime, even if it's still a minority position, is *much* higher than we've been led to believe - high enough to dissuade their anti-regime neighbors from acting.

From Maritime London-City of London's website,

"London is the world’s leading centre for marine insurance, including P&I. Physical risk in shipping arises from shipping operations, cargo loss or damage as well as shipbuilding and London provides a solid infrastructure for the insurance of these risks. Whether placed through Lloyd’s of London or company members of the International Underwriting Association (IUA), London insurers are able to handle the insurance needs of the shipping community. Cover provided includes hull insurance, war risk insurance, loss of profit/freight insurance, detention insurance, strike insurance or uninsured legal expenses (defence) cover.

London currently has the largest share – around a third – of the global insurance market, ahead of the USA, Japan, Germany and France. In 2013, it was worth £5.9bn. (Source: London Matters: The competitive position of the London Insurance Market, 2014). P&I clubs continue to provide the majority share of the world’s shipping fleet with insurance cover against legal liabilities to third parties."

Actually, that won't be the ending regardless. The regime part was always a problem - because we aren't going to invade. The hope was the people take care of that and or someone comes in charge that we can deal with who makes them less radical.

I'm sure we'd love to find the processed uranium - am hopeful Israel knows where to look for it. Their ability to launch a nuke has certainly been degraded and their proxy network has been degraded.

There is a chance that we are unable to account for the uranium, meaning a dirty bomb scenario comes into play.

You'd have a better argument if you didn't assume what you hopes happens will. And if you think this board can't take issue with Trump, you haven't been here that long.

Because your entire argument is based on the assertion that they are still in charge of Iran. If they were it should easy to name at least one.

If you've been following this war at all you know that Trump and his team have been saying for the last week they don't know who to negotiate with because so much of the leadership is dead. The only one who appears to be negotiating is the Speaker and he is not a mullah.

If you watched Venezuela, which is not unrelated to this incident since Hezbollah was running wild in Venezuela with Iranian backing, Trump left some of the leadership in charge and under US control. That might be what happens here, temporarily, if a deal can be reached to make sure the country doesn't turn into post war Iraq which was a disaster because we took down the entire government and got ISIS instead.

The US and Israelis have obliterated Iran's navy, air force and almost all of their missiles. The GCC are on our side. I expect some coalition will be put in charge of a now neutered Iran. And that will end nearly 50 years of terror. Yea, I'm in favor of that.

All I have to do is listen to Trump to hear that he's looking to wind this down. I know I know Colin you can take him literally but you have to take him seriously and art of the deal and blah blah blah. But Trump obviously wants this to be over. And if it ends in its current state, then there really is unfinished business.

As for history I look to the strike on Iran last summer. I have no way to judge whether they were actually successful because I don't have access to that intelligence. Nobody does. But I know that after being told that we totally obliterated their nuclear program, 9 months later we're told that they've got their nuclear program back.

405 Here is what I heard - Iran built tunnels under the strait of Hormuz. Using the tunnel, Iran could release mines or even launch teams of divers with demolition charges.

These tunnels were extremely hard to detect. Except - the U.S. figured out how to detect them, and demolished and flooded the tunnels. They are keeping how they did this very quiet - but it involved advanced sonar and satellites.

So, trump saying other nations should patrol - no other nation had the ability to deal with the tunnels. Hence any ship patrolling was a high risk of getting sunk. That was why every other nation declined to do it. I think Trump was just sticking it to the rest of the world.

Oh, it's a DEFENSIVE alliance, eh?

So why in the blue fuck were we involved in Allied Force and Odyssey Dawn? Neither of those conflicts involved a NATO country that was attacked. The Euros couldn't solve either problem and went to the UNITED STATES to fix their shit for them.

The Balkans should have been the first actual indication that NATO--and specifically, the faggots in western Europe--weren't really capable of doing diddly squat without the Americans to hold their decrepit, liver-spotted hands. Now they can prepare to bend over and have Achmed ram them up the ass while they bow towards Mecca.

Time to cut anyone loose that can't play ball. I'm fine with keeping eastern Euros around because they at least have skin in the game. Western Europe just sees them as a meat shield and its time the former Warsaw Pact countries realized that.

Providence Mayor Calls Mural Showing Face of Slaughtered Iryna Zarutska "Divisive," Wants It Taken Down

He wants the mural destroyed. He does not want to say her name.


The mayor of Rhode Island's capital city is calling for a mural reportedly backed by Elon Musk to honor Iryna Zarutska --the Ukrainian woman whose brutal murder while riding a North Carolina train prompted calls for harsher punishment for career criminals -- to be taken down.

The mural, located on the exterior of The Dark Lady, an LGBTQ+ club in downtown Providence, remains incomplete, WJAR-TV reported.

The office of Mayor Brett Smiley told the news outlet that he wants the artwork taken down.

"The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like the one across the county is divisive and does not represent Providence," Smiley said in a statement.

He said he continues to "encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us."

Did he call for the George Floyd murals to be obliterated as well?

Of course not.

...

Zarutska, a 23-year-old refugee who fled her country after the Russian invasion, was brutally stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack while riding the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte, NC, last year.

The suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, is charged with violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system resulting in death, which is a capital offense under federal law.

...

Zarutska's death prompted questions about soft on crime policies adopted by many Democratic-run cities. President Donald Trump spotlighted the killing during his State of the Union address last month.

...

"Iryna was riding home on the train when a deranged monster, who had been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no-cash bail, stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body," Trump said.

"She had escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America," he added. "Ms. Zarutska, tonight I promise you we will secure justice for your magnificent daughter."

It's pretty explicit that white lives don't matter to the left. "Reparations" include the right of "oppressed minorities" to beat and kill white people with little consequence.

It's also clear that the Regime that murdered Iryna by letting this psychopath out of jail dozens of times will brook absolutely no criticism of their murderous policies. Iryna is not just a reminder that white lives matter too, askshually. It's a reminder that the psycho-left's policies cause butchery and rape. But the psycho-left will use any tool of oppression to halt any argument or simple fact that might undermine their headlong drive to inflict authoritarian Marxism with a nasty racist twist on the country.

I hold the police to a much higher standard of behavior than a schizophrenic mentally ill man. Do you ?

The mural holds the politicians and their "decarceration" policies to a higher standard. Don't you agree that politicians who create a policy should be held to a higher standard than beat cops making spur of the moment decisions?

But this is Minneapolis. The Metro Police Manual approved and taught the knee to the shoulder blade restraint to all their officers. There is no way this restraint impacts the blow hole. But, Dems needed a bloody shirt and thus blamed the 'union' cop for murder. So much for union dues doing anything to protect their union members. Please note, the officer was prosecuted by the FEDS cuz the State AG didn't want to go there.

I have no military or law enforcement history, but I've reached the same place. There are psychopaths who have no capacity to imagine or care about the misery they inflict. The ability just isn't there. They see the entertainment value just fine, though.

There are lives that matter only in a negative way -- the danger they pose, and the lethal trouble they cause. I care about their lives, but not in the sympathetic way typically intoned. Just the opposite.

They started it. It's their rules. They made it this way.

Update: Secret Service agent who shot himself in butt was trying to use gun light to find phone

UPDATE: Additional new details about the junior @SecretService agent who shot himself last Friday morning during a movement at the Philly airport with Jill Biden: The agent left his phone behind in the SUV while escorting Jill Biden into the airport. He rushed back to get his cell phone and was using his Glock's flashlight to try to
find it in the trunk of the SUV. When he tried to holster his gun, he shot himself -- yes,
right in the butt cheek. I'm told agent training stresses that the light on the Glock
should only be used while shooting.

Yes, that is Susan Crabtree, a national correspondent for RealClear Politics, reporting the details of a Secret Service agent who shot himself in the tush.
Last week, the agency reported that the agent shot himself in the leg while on Jill Biden's protective detail, but it looks like they might have been trying to save what's left of his dignity.

Last night, Donald Trump shared a clip of a massive strike on Isfahan on social media. According to Ynet’s Ron Ben-Yishai, what initially appeared to be a strike on ballistic missiles may have in fact been the burial of enriched uranium deep underground in a way that will prevent the Iranians from accessing it. The U.S., it seems, has given up on prolonged ground action that would also entail many casualties.

And there are many "re-strikes" occurring.

Also, if you count hitting places first struck back in June '25, they're going back for seconds on several targets. Either due to interfere with recovery/reconstruction efforts (CENTCOM released on video of a hit on a bulldozer), or to cause further damage.

He is the doubleganger for Stafford. Same talents - same system. Stafford has had troubles with his back. The Rams coach was the OC for Redskins and knows Kirk's talents. Whether he wants a backup role is the question. Should Stafford go down he would be QB-ing a Super Bowl caliber team.

Russell Wilson was actually the Shannahan's 1st choice to be QB, but Snyder decided to trade 3 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder to move up to draft RGIII because he wanted a flashy QB. The Shannahan's were blindsided by it because Wilson was a better fit for their offense. By the time that they got to the 4th round, Bruce Allen asked the Kyle if he still wanted Cousins who was their 2nd choice at QB, and they said yes. Snyder couldn't stand Cousins because he thought that he was taking the shine off of RGIII, so he treated him like shit which led to Cousins leaving DC.

Those people would either be instantly deposed and killed by their subordinates, or have to fight a brutal, protracted power struggle against them, which they will lose.

This will make any negotiating largely pointless.

We could agree to back that faction to the hilt for the foreseeable future, and set their leader up as the puppet we defend until the Muslims beat us along with him.

Or, we could wave the worthless peace treaty around, declare victory and go home until it's time to smash the Muslims from the air and sea again.

Trump's intimation that we could just declare our objectives met and walk, without worrying about Hormuz - the Euros and others can take care of that, it's their big problem - is also hilarious.

The USSR couldn't be trusted on many aspects of agreements, that's what conservative counting rules and eventually on-site inspection were all about. Of course the dogshit regime in Tehran cannot be trusted, on any matter at all.

Which is why the obvious solution to the problem they pose has always been obvious and remains so. But don't mention it, or the bumper-sticker level segment (most, now?) will have the vapors.

One of the most humorous events from my time as Scoutmaster was sitting in on one of our scout's Eagle Board of Review and, when he was asked whether someone or another ought to have been punished for having behaved inhumanely toward another human being, he replied, "Well, some people deserve to be punished."

That response nearly caused his questioner to stroke out from shock. "Surely you can't mean that!"

"I do. Some people are just evil and they deserve punishment."

More sputtering and attempts to get the young man to moderate his assertions, but he stuck to his guns.

One of the other Board members knew the young man's father and, afterward, during the congratulatory chit chat, he told the father, "Boy, I certainly knew that he was your son when he made that reply!"

Michigan Synagogue Attack Was "Hezballah-Inspired," Says FBI

They can finally determine a motive. When the Bureau is headed by a Trump appointee, at least.

The attack earlier this month on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was "a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan," the FBI said in a news conference Monday.

The assailant, Ayman Ghazali, a naturalized US citizen from Lebanon, rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue on March 12, as more than 100 children were attending school inside.

...


Had he lived, he would have been charged with providing material support to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, said Jerome Gorgon, US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Gorgon added Ghazali was inspired by Hezbollah propaganda to carry out the attack.

"This man acted under Hezbollah's direction and control," Gorgon said. "He intended to kill others, not just himself."

Two of his brothers were Hezballah terror commanders. They were killed by Israel.

...

Ghazali began planning for the attack days earlier, the FBI said, with his plans intensifying on March 9. A review of Ghazali's online activity dating to January showed repeated searches for pro‑Hezbollah and Iranian news outlets, as well as videos related to gunfire and ammunition.

Beginning March 9, the FBI said, he closely followed speeches and live coverage involving Hezbollah's secretary general, Naim Qassem, along with reporting about an Iranian fatwa -- a religious ruling concerning Islamic law -- calling for total jihad against the US military.

He also researched Jewish cultural educational and religious centers throughout the Detroit metro area, viewed multiple pages of upcoming events at Temple Israel and searched specific terms and phrases such as "the largest gathering of Israelis in Michigan," "Orthodox synagogues" and "Israelis near me," Runyan said.

...

An order of dozens of water containers arrived on the 11th -- the day before the attack -- and he immediately started filling them with gasoline, making four trips to gas stations so he would not arouse suspicion, Runyan said. He also bought two torch lighters, which authorities believe he used to set his truck on fire.

On the day of the attack, Ghazali sent his sister, who authorities believe lives in Lebanon, numerous videos and messages "affirming his Hezbollah-inspired ideology," Runyan said.

Ten minutes before he drove his truck into the synagogue, Ghazali sent his sister two videos in Arabic indicating he was at the largest gathering of Israelis in the state of Michigan, had booby-trapped his car and would forcibly enter and start shooting people, the FBI said.

"God willing, I will kill as many of them as I possibly can," Ghazali recorded himself saying, according to Runyan.

Happy Tuesday!

I didn't read much over the weekend but I'm now "On the Doorstep" in The Hobbit. I'm sure many of you finished.

Does anyone do this? When I read Hobbit/LOTR, I put on music and ambience from the movies. But I'm not sure it adds anything. I think it just distracts me.

Update:

It was Netanyahu inspired terrorism. He consistently links Judaism and Zionism and it puts a target on the backs of Jews all over the world. The people in Michigan had nothing to do with the war crimes Israel is committing.

Exactly. Who wants to take the FBI at their word on this one? I'm guessing the usual suspects.

It absolutely doesn't excuse the violence, but I've also heard his family in Lebanon was killed in Israeli attacks. If we're going to be involved in this war, we're going to experience the effects of it.

It turns out when you launch a poorly conceived attack on a foreign nation with zero regard for collateral damage, it leads to stuff like this. There is zero excuse for the violence he planned to commit, but killing innocents breeds terrorism and unfortunately the current administration is damn good at that.

This isn't a terrorist linked attack. The FBI is bullshitiny to justify the invasion of Lebanon. Gotta justify the genocide and land grab

The attack earlier this month on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, was "a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism purposely targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan," the FBI said in a news conference Monday.

38 Fun fact, since Gorsuch had the opinion today reversing Colorado's ban on family therapy to reverse same sex or trans oriented yutes, then it appears very likely that Justice Alito may author Callais v. LA which is the Majority Minority districts under the Voting Rights Act. From the October cases this term, only Alito has not authored an opinion.

I suspect the leftist justices are trying to push the opinion's release beyond this year's elections as it will cost the Dems probably about a dozen or more seats and require redistricting in multiple states.

52 It was Netanyahu inspired terrorism. He consistently links Judaism and Zionism and it puts a target on the backs of Jews all over the world. The people in Michigan had nothing to do with the war crimes Israel is committing.

Exactly. Who wants to take the FBI at their word on this one? I'm guessing the usual suspects.

It absolutely doesn't excuse the violence, but I've also heard his family in Lebanon was killed in Israeli attacks. If we're going to be involved in this war, we're going to experience the effects of it.

It turns out when you launch a poorly conceived attack on a foreign nation with zero regard for collateral damage, it leads to stuff like this. There is zero excuse for the violence he planned to commit, but killing innocents breeds terrorism and unfortunately the current administration is damn good at that.

Even when someone screams "Allah Ackbar" and proceeds to recite the Koran while simutaneously beheading Jewish children, while wearing a Hezballah T-shirt and leaving a manifesto outlining the exact reason for the actions; the victim card pops out from supporters creating some chimera argument that they will be the ones to suffer from non-existent repurcussions.

Reminds me of a neighbor as a kid. He'd whip snowballs at me while I was shoveling the drive-way. The minute I turned towards him and took a step, he'd run in his house and tell his mom I was threatening him. That's the Muslim community in a nutshell.

So this human torch guy who attacked the synagogue belonged to the Shia muslim minority. They're about 20% of muslims worldwide. When they are working together with the Sunni majority against Jews and the West, their 1400 year old blood feud is temporarily forgotten. When those issues are not front and center, they turn on each other again.

My spouse wants a lemon raspberry dip, so I have my Cocowhip, Jello lemon pudding, and raspberry preserves (and probably some other liquid)...and I was gonna dip raspberries, strawberries, and shortbread cookies.

But then I thought, why not layer the shortbread cookies with the pudding, the preserves, and the cocowhip (maybe flavored with either lemon zest or raspberry syrup) and then top with all the fresh fruit for the world's easiest dairy/nut free trifle (or icebox cake, depending how I layer and what dish I use - not sure I have a true "trifler" one)...

Decisions, decisions.

Posted by: San Franpsycho at March 31, 2026 01:01 PM (RIvkX)


The Reason is there to justify the conclusion that was arrived at before the act.

"See, just like Jean Valjean!"

Without that justification then the preconceptions at play make the act meaningless, since alternate explanations cannot exist.
For some people, even the attempt to find an alternate explanation becomes a violation, and can be like an assault on the perception of the world.

So, just like Jean Valjean, it is an act solely in response to the bad things that are disapproved of.

timbane and other savory little pies, deviled eggs, basically that.
Posted by: BlackOrchid(j+aD2) at March 31, 2026 01:15 PM (j+aD2)

Easter is the one time of year spouse doesn't complain that I make deviled eggs (this is always on the lunch tray). He agrees that while he can't stand hard boiled eggs, once we dye eggs, there's really nothing else to do with them except egg salad or deviled eggs, and my kids love deviled eggs. So that's part of the "lunch tray" of the holiday (and he dutifully ignores them). As some posters know, we always do a tray type lunch for holidays - then people grab what they like...

Trump wants markets floating higher, to help inflate our way "out" of the massive debt burden. But markets seem to be in bubble territory, so perhaps at some point a controlled decline would not be terrible.

Europe is already facing ~$8/gal gas, along with other issues. Seems USA is gaining power, and with tariffs the balance of trade power is adjusting. China still has like a trillion in global trade surplus, but they have plenty of issues.

3. Disclose who ordered the FBI to cover that up.

I'm no expert, but the Sunni vs Shia split happened just after the death of Mohammed, and it was over whether the new religion should have a chief authority who was related to Mohammed by blood, or not. A group including Mohammed's son was ambushed and killed while traveling, by the non-bloodline faction (Sunnis), and it was on.

To this day the most senior Shia clerics must be able to claim that they are descendants of Mohammed.

TBH salic primogeniture with a nominal divine right of a king WAS a social improvement over what had gone before.

Having a clear succession with weaker nobles to cause less trouble with their infighting is part of the reason Europe was able to go on the offensive in the crusades era - Islam as the time had polygamy, no real rules on succession, and endemic internal conflicts.

The Morning Rant: Spain Is Lost

punk-monkey.jpg

50 years of American-sponsored welfare at the expense of any sense of national pride, desire to participate in the defense of its own culture, and the active importation of subwits from the 3rd World because they were just too lazy to pick up their own garbage and mop their own floors has led to the current situation in Spain. Or should we be honest and call it Al-Andalus?

After the death of Franco in 1975, the die was cast on Spain. They fled from any sense of nationalism, civic pride, love of Western culture, and perhaps most telling, their religiosity. The decay of a once formidable culture has led to their startling acquiescence to the invaders from the Muslim world. After a massive terrorist attack on the Madrid train system in 2004, in which almost 200 people were killed, the country tucked its tail firmly between its legs and ran from the West, ran from self-determination, ran from solidarity with 2,500 years of western culture, straight into the arms of a post-modern malaise, compounded by the Muslim invaders in their midst.

Their natural inclination for powerful government at the expense of the individual made their "social democracy" experiment a thinly veiled cradle-to-grave socialist state. Except of course their own defense! That was supplied by their membership in NATO, which means it was provided by the United States.

Their current betrayal of America and the effort to wrest the West away from ascendant Islam is not surprising; it is a natural result of the arrogance and obliviousness of the current European mindset that values diplomacy and negotiation over all, even at the expense of...everything!

Key US ally blocks airspace to military flights over Iran, escalating standoff with Trump

Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles confirmed the move, saying Spain has denied both airspace access and the use of joint U.S.-Spanish bases for any operations tied to the Iran conflict.

"This was made perfectly clear to the American military and forces from the very beginning," Robles said. "Neither the bases are authorized, nor, of course, is the use of Spanish airspace authorized for any actions related to the war in Iran."

Spain already had refused to allow U.S. forces to use the strategically critical Rota and Morón bases in southern Spain, installations long viewed as key hubs for American military operations into Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The expansion of that restriction to Spanish airspace effectively cuts off another logistical pathway for U.S. operations and signals that Madrid is willing to directly limit U.S. military movement despite its NATO membership.


The answer for America is simple...close those bases, and spend the billions of dollars in some other countries that will be more appreciative of America and its effort to free the world from Iran's evil.

And for the taxpaying citizens of America? Don't go to Spain. Don't buy Spanish products. It's simple. They don't support us, so why should we support them?

Besides, it is a country that is rapidly descending into the evil of progressive atheism, in which the value of life and culture is measured by an amoral calculation more akin to Mao than to Ignatius of Loyola (whatever you might think of him).

Here is a powerful bit of data that Spanish culture is gone... replaced by the same post-modern melange currently engulfing Canada, the UK, and a few other Western countries.

Father loses legal fight to halt euthanasia of 25-year-old daughter in Spain

Noelia Castillo Ramos' case galvanized international attention after her father, Gerónimo Castillo, mounted a legal battle against the authorization of various Spanish courts for his daughter to receive euthanasia in 2023. Aided by Abogados Cristianos (Christian Lawyers), a conservative Catholic organization, Mr. Castillo exhausted all appeals to the Spanish courts.

The father argued that his daughter wasn’t fully psychologically able to make a decision regarding euthanasia and that she needed better medical and psychiatric care. His legal battle was ultimately shut down by the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, on March 10.


It's called psychiatric illness, and giving its sufferers agency over their own treatment and lives is, frankly, insane. But it illuminates the interest of the collective over the individual, and the total rejection of an objective morality that has been the backbone of the West, courtesy of religion, for 2,500 years.

Spain has chosen its path, and we should respect that choice. But no amount of Serrano ham, Paella, and magnificent art should lure us to continue our support of this failed state.

[France too is barring American use of its airspace, but that is a discussion for another time!]

47 Daily Beast: New Investigation Corroborates Claims of Woman Who Says Trump Sexually Abused Her at 13

So the headline is true — the woman who accused Trump of sexually abusing her has had some of her details corroborated … just none related to Trump, but instead, someone named Jimmy Atkins.

Jimmy Atkins’ business back in Ohio was running trade schools. But on Hilton Head, he took over a small company that specialized in long-term rentals. Property in the island’s gated subdivisions, called plantations in reference to the local antebellum history, attracted vacationing families and wealthy retirees. Corporate executives and global financiers descended by private plane to survey the frenzy some two decades into the island’s transformation.

At Harbour Realty and Rentals, with an office near Coligny Beach, Atkins came into contact with a teenage girl who would later claim to the FBI that she was sexually assaulted by him and a young Jeffery Epstein, the infamous and now deceased sexual predator. She alleged to agents that the two men also conspired to extort her mother to embezzle money. The mother eventually ended up in prison.

Posted by: 18-1 at March 31, 2026 11:09 AM (sKqQm)

Because for immigrants at least, they do not see the thing they are looting as of value. There is always a desire or the thought that they can just go back where they came when the loot runs out. Why were the Somalians sending billions back to Somalia?

You assume that they want to build a life here, that is not the goal. Loot. Then leave. But stay as long as the loot is good.

51 I read through some leftwing threads on this Spanish girl.

The general points:

1) She didn't report the assaults at the time, so she was lying and probably had voluntarily had sex with them - Women lie about sexual assaults all the time

2) This is because European countries are still too patriarchal - in a true feminist society women would feel good about having sex

3) This is also because of discrimination against immigrants. If they had more money, status, and influence they would be more quick to adopt European mores about how to relate to women.

74 Spain was never truly a country in the sense of one united culture and ancestry. Spain was three -- if not four -- different cultures, ethnicities, and loyalties that didn't much like each other, all vying for power and influence.

In my travels there, it was common to find people in the east refer to themselves not as "Spanish" but as "Catalonian." "Spanish" to them was almost an insult, as they considered the central Spaniards from Madrid the "Spanish" people.

Spain is one of the favored refuges for American lefties fleeing Trump. They take their American remote-work salaries and live like -- what's that hated type of person? Kings. Then they go on social media and talk about how great it is compared to the US, since they can afford great food, entertainment, and housing for practically nothing, as if that's how the locals live.

144 Holy cow.
9th Circuit rules California’s anti-hunting legislation unconstitutional.

The state tried to ban advertising that could “appeal to minors,” but the reality was simple, this would’ve shut down promotion of youth hunts, hunter education, and beginner firearms. Lawful, truthful outreach to the next generation was treated like a crime, with fines up to $25,000 per violation.

After a 4-year legal fight, the court ruled it violated the First Amendment by restricting legal speech, while also colliding with Second Amendment protections tied to lawful firearm use. California ultimately backed down, the law is permanently blocked, and the state is now paying the legal fees.

Thanks to the Sportsmen’s Alliance, SCI, and the other groups that stood up and fought to protect our hunting heritage.

155 One caveat about Spain. It is currently run by a thoroughly corrupt leftist minority government. Due to Spanish law, a minority government can stay in place for a very long time due to the fragmentation of political parties.

"Minority governments have been common in Spain since its democratic transition, with around 75% of cabinets being minority ones. Before 2020, governments were typically single-party minority administrations, but the political landscape shifted after the 2015 elections, which fragmented the party system. This led to Spain’s first national coalition government in 2020, formed by PSOE and Unidas Podemos.

Recent minority governments have faced challenges due to polarization and fragmented parliaments. The Sánchez government depends on backing from parties like ERC, Junts, PNV, and EH Bildu—some of which advocate for Catalan or Basque independence—while excluding the conservative PP and far-right Vox. Despite difficulties in passing budgets and legislation, such governments have used executive decrees and strategic alliances to maintain governance."

If you look at how crazy radical the Spanish communists of the 1930s were, and if you assume they never really went away but were merely suppressed, this suicidal outcome for Spain makes sense. Not just the US airbase denial, their larger fall as a Western society.

The original Muslim invasion of Spain in the 8th century was invited in by a faction in Spain that sought an advantage over another faction. Kind of like all of Western Europe today, but with welfare for the invaders now, until the governments there can't afford it anymore. I guess that's going to be ugly -- old school looting and mass murder by the invaders when the welfare runs out.

There was often a completely separate French section; and sometimes even a separate Italian section; before devolving into a catch-all foreign language section. But these were just a case or two, not a large section of the bookstore.

Funny how the commie cocksuckers in the West have been caterwauling about how Franco shot some commie shit-heads back during the Civil War. Never mind that the commies started the war by killing every Catholic clergyman they could get their hands on, and once the war started, they spent almost as much energy massacring fellow commies and socialists for apostacy than they did in actually fighting Franco's Phalangists.

And now they're going to get on their high horse and whine about the US allying with Israel to crush the Iranian mullahs and free up the Persian people?

But yes, if he or a successor actually removed most of their internally repressive moves of the last 15 years and negotiated some kind of settlement with Ukraine (so less Russian men would die futilely and the sanctions would mostly end), Russia would, ironically, be well-positioned to really become a major power like he desires.

I sometimes reflect on Trump's first term, and how the Empire struck back to steal the 2020 election and impose 'progressive' looting, invasion, and tyranny. I try to think of what I could do to prepare for another such turn, which would be much worse now. (The leftists are salivating at the prospect, and starting to openly tell us what they're planning to do.)

One of the great post-war mistakes has to have been our full-throated initial support for that spindly shit-head DeGaulle. His asshole behavior all through the war years should have been a clue.

Even worse is when we allowed DeGaulle to enter the political alliance of NATO when they refused to also enter the military part of NATO. So we basically gave them the idea that they could politically control NATO without a military commitment.

244 Spain shows both what is needed to curtail the commies, and what happens when you fail to keep up the required maintenance.

It also shows some of the glaring flaws in the US constitution, though one might argue that the founding fathers were realistic and understood it wasn't going to last forever - and of all things, the 2A, even as curtailed as it has been, is the only thing giving us a real chance to last long enough to avoid total destruction (see the UK as an alternative and a warning)

You cannot, and should not, tolerate those who announce their intent to enslave you or to erase your population. That's fucking stupidity of the highest order.

9/11 and the global response was enough for me to categorize islam. 2020 and the J6 response with the backdrop of debanking, child grooming, and foreign invasion were the final nails for progressivism. At best, coexistence within a single polity is not possible.

AI Overview: Gas lines in the 1970s were caused by severe gasoline shortages stemming from two major oil crises—the 1973 Arab oil embargo and the 1979 Iranian Revolution—which severely disrupted oil supply. These shortages were worsened by US price controls, panic buying, and high reliance on foreign oil, causing massive lines and rationing. (NPR, History dot com and others)

Drivers with license plates ending in odd numbers could only buy gas on odd days, and vice versa.
Gas stations often ran out of fuel, leading to reduced hours or closures.

I started driving in late 1974, a year after gas prices basically doubled to 50 - 60c/gal. Later, in 1978 they went to $1/gal. I recall people wondering how they could do that since the mechanical pumps could only go up to 99.9c/gal. The solution was to easily adjust the pumps to register price per quart or half gallon.

That was confusing. Glad they didn't start selling it per liter....

You've just solved a long-standing mystery for me. A gas station in the town I was living in at the time did in fact sell by the liter for a time.

I'm betting you're dead on... their pumps couldn't be set for more than a dollar a gallon, so they switched to liters until they could get new pump guts (or get the old ones adjusted or whatever).

Perhaps the pump guts even came from the factory able to handle either gallons or liters, so they could be sold internationally.

The downside is that they'll be overrun even faster by the Muslim invaders and we'll end up having to fight another continental war over there, but I think that's inevitable anyway.

They're well into the "good times make weak men" phase of their existence, and they need to face some hard times sooner rather than later.

280 Weird story from Daily Mail and NY Post,

NY Post,
"Former Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem is “devastated” by salacious allegations that her husband, Bryon, lives a double life in which he dabbled in cross-dressing and chatted online with fetish models.

“Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” Noem’s representatives told The Post."

According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Bryon Noem chatted up women from the so-called “bimbofication” fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a “Barbie doll”-like appearance.

291 Spain probably is lost. Unfortunate. But then much of Western Europe is lost.

Russia Ukraine was never difficult. Putin wanted to recreate the security profile of the Soviet Union. He had no desire to go to Paris, or even Berlin. He did want to get to Moldova, and he wanted to grab the government of Ukraine quickly to try and end the war that way and install a puppet that would allow him to isolate the Baltic states.

Poland was always going to be the hard one, and perhaps he would have been happy to just stay there at the Polish border - but geographically I believe his best stopping part was around Warsaw. I'm not sure the Russians could beat Poland at this point, if they ever managed to get there.

314 266 I started driving in late 1974, a year after gas prices basically doubled to 50 - 60c/gal. Later, in 1978 they went to $1/gal. I recall people wondering how they could do that since the mechanical pumps could only go up to 99.9c/gal. The solution was to easily adjust the pumps to register price per quart or half gallon.

i've seen a lot of pumps where they used tinsnips to make the digit window bigger and added a digit to the counter.

You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated.

39 From the National Gallery of Ireland.

The painting is only 15.6 by 23.7 cm. That's pretty tiny.


In 1811, the engraver and publisher William Cooke approached Turner with a proposal to publish a print series entitled Picturesque Views of the Southern Coast of England. This watercolour, in which the waves are so accurately depicted, their frothy white crests being blown away by the strong wind, appeared in part six of the series published in 1815.

The rigging of the ship labouring in the heavy swell, the clouds highlighted by a bright shaft of sunlight, even the gannets with their characteristic black wing tips are recorded in great detail. The ship, probably a Royal Naval vessel, is dwarfed by the dreaded Mewstone.

This dramatic natural feature, which lies at the eastern end of Plymouth Sound off Wembury Bay, notoriously claimed many lives over the centuries. During the summer of 1813 Turner spent time travelling along the coast, filling sketchbooks with his observations."

51 I think that is the kind of painting that "commercial" artists aspire to, and can't quite hit. Not knocking them, someone has to make art for business offices and waiting rooms -- and it has to be at a competitive price point, so there is likely to be a discernable difference between that and fine art, even if you can't put it into words. Something to do with the amount of time it must have taken, the care and thought involved.

Posted by: dantesed at March 31, 2026 09:36 AM (Oy/m2)

For those of you who have never been on a sailing vessel... a lot of time is spent "heading straight for the big rock" only to tack away at the last minute.

Since you can't go directly into the wind, you have to zig-zag or "tack" into the wind at an angle, which means that to get somewhere specific, you have to go in a different direction. Which usually means you're pointing the bow towards something that you'd rather not hit.

If you get as close as physically possible before tacking its called "banging the corner". Racers have a saying that banging the corner is like doing your cousin - no matter how good it looks, its still just wrong.

The great mystery of 'Limith Rock was how it had "1620" carved on it already when the Pilgrims landed.

Were there a series of rocks there, each one carved with a date from the series "1600" to "1639" and the tricksy Pilgrims broke up the other thirty-nine when Squanto taught them to plant corn by placing a small dead fish and a fragment of rock with each seed?

129 Wall Street Flees Socialist Tax Trap: Apollo Ditches NYC for No-Tax Sunbelt

Apollo Global Management, the $900 billion asset manager, is done playing games with New York City's radical leadership. The firm is planning a second U.S. headquarters in either Texas or Florida — both with zero state income tax — and shifting most future hiring there instead of Manhattan.

This move comes as democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani ramps up his war on business to close a $5.4 billion budget hole. He's demanding a 2% surcharge on incomes over $1 million and higher corporate taxes, while threatening a 9.5% property tax hike if Albany doesn't deliver. When that failed, he floated raiding reserves and vague "savings" with no real plan in sight.

Partnership for New York City CEO Steve Fulop nailed it: you can't keep vilifying employees and businesses then act shocked when they pack up and leave. "Treat this as a flashing warning sign," he warned. "When jobs go, revenue goes — and the affordability crisis gets worse."
(Cont.)

Posted by: rickb223 at March 31, 2026 10:14 AM (9E5Ho)

130 Apollo isn't alone. Citadel and Elliott Management already bolted for Florida. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are expanding big in Texas. The pattern is clear: high taxes, hostile rhetoric, and endless spending sprees drive talent and capital out of blue strongholds and into red states that reward success instead of punishing it.

New Yorkers voted for this. Now they're watching the tax base evaporate while the same failed policies — soak the rich, grow government — accelerate the decline. You can't tax what already left. Florida and Texas are laughing all the way to the bank.

137 Jimmy Atkins’ business back in Ohio was running trade schools. But on Hilton Head, he took over a small company that specialized in long-term rentals. Property in the island’s gated subdivisions, called plantations in reference to the local antebellum history, attracted vacationing families and wealthy retirees. Corporate executives and global financiers descended by private plane to survey the frenzy some two decades into the island’s transformation.

At Harbour Realty and Rentals, with an office near Coligny Beach, Atkins came into contact with a teenage girl who would later claim to the FBI that she was sexually assaulted by him and a young Jeffery Epstein, the infamous and now deceased sexual predator. She alleged to agents that the two men also conspired to extort her mother to embezzle money. The mother eventually ended up in prison.

153 The woman also alleged abuse by a man named “Jim Atkins” during the same time period. Leonard identified “Jim Atkins” as Jimmy L. Atkins of Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, earlier this month. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 69.

On Sunday, The Post and Courier uncovered records that confirmed details of the woman’s testimony on Atkins. This included Atkins’s relationship with an Ohio college, his age, his hair color, his general appearance, and details about his employment in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

May I point out that on the 1 million or so records about Epstein there are ZERO.ZERO mentions of Carolina.

Triple bonus points if he recited the lines, "There is no dark side of the Moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark."

Those lines were delivered by the guy who was the doorman or go-fer at the London recording studio where Pink Floyd cut that album. I thought that was cool when I first heard of that. No one remembers who he was, not even his name, apparently.

That's supposedly one way. (The legal way)

Alberta could always declare, if the vote goes their way, that they are independent and try to get other countries to acknowledge that.

They could always try to get a protected status from the US. Trump might give it to them just to F with Canada.

Alberta can always stop sending Ottawa their monthly vig. Force Ottawa to make a move. Saskatchewan is eyeballing this hard. They want to go too.

He's demanding a 2% surcharge on incomes over $1 million and higher corporate taxes, while threatening a 9.5% property tax hike if Albany doesn't deliver. When that failed, he floated raiding reserves and vague "savings" with no real plan in sight.

A “democratic socialist” is one who, at the request of 50.0000000000000001%of voters, POLITELY steals the fruits of others’ labors and gives it to others. If they fail to comply, the police arrest them.

So they're approving the torture of children. Fucking disgusting. I really hate when the judicial system gets in the way of medical services. Laws that prohibit doctors from discussing abortion should also be illegal.

The main driver for this is the money some folks will make from confused parents for ruining their kids lives and driving many of them to suicide.

Silly rabbit...states' rights are for red states who want to marginalize LGBT people, not blue states that want to protect them. Being able to engage in psycho-sexual abuse of children seems to be a common thread in conservatism.

These free speech absolutist are going to get people killed. Looks like you can yell fire in a crowded room under this Supreme Court.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. “The Constitution does not pose a barrier to reasonable regulation of harmful medical treatments just because substandard care comes via speech instead of scalpel,” she wrote.

Well said!

205 Joseph Mallord William Turner; Born April 23, 1775, London, UK & Died December 19, 1851, London.

Known in his time as 'William Turner,' was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist. He is known for his expressive colouring, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings.

His artistic style developed over his lifetime, moving away from Romanticism—bypassing the following rising style of Realism—and, instead, with his later works being a significant precursor of and presaging the later Impressionist and Abstract Art movements that arose in the decades after his death.[1] He left behind more than 550 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolours, and 30,000 works on paper.[2] He was championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting.[3] In 1969 art historian Kenneth Clark wrote of Turner: "He was a genius of the first order—far the greatest painter that England has ever produced..."[4] Wikipedia

So definitely not Will Turner, a pirate by blood, who had several adventures with Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Yes, would hang today's selection.

The pattern is clear: high taxes, hostile rhetoric, and endless spending sprees drive talent and capital out of blue strongholds and into red states that reward success instead of punishing it.

New Yorkers voted for this. Now they're watching the tax base evaporate while the same failed policies — soak the rich, grow government — accelerate the decline. You can't tax what already left. Florida and Texas are laughing all the way to the bank.

212 from SCOTUS majority opinion:

Consider, too, where the State and dissent’s logic leads.
Not long ago, many medical experts and organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, considered homosexuality a mental disorder... On the view Colorado and the dissent advance, a law adopted during that era prohibiting counselors from engaging in the “substandard care” of affirming their clients’ homosexuality would have been subject to only rational-basis or intermediate-scrutiny review—and likely upheld. Today, tomorrow, and forever, too, any professional speech that deviates from “current beliefs about the safety and efficacy of various medical treatments” could be silenced with relative ease. Post, at 24 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). It is a consequence Colorado freely acknowledges. And one the dissent embraces. Post, at 23–26, and n. 9 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). So what if that kind of reflexive deference to currently prevailing professional views may not always end well?

223 "Eight justices, including two reliable liberals, approved literal torture of children."

I mean...you can have that warped of a view of the situation, sure. No one's stopping you. But it's...not very close to reality.

Always remember that the internet, by definition of it's anonymity and the chase for approval, encourages extremism- at least of expression. Someone says something extreme- Trump tortures puppies! Then someone else goes 'Oh, I bet he does!' Then multiple people are sitting at their screens or phones and thinking 'I should have said that.' So they try to come up with something even more extreme to type.

Because what you say on the internet is who you are on the internet. And the passion you manage to convey in words is a measure of your worth. (Note: this is for these people- a lot of people have actual lives.)

And that is another thing that bothers me: a lot of this internet rhetorical brinksmanship is engaged in by people who DO have lives. They have kids and a family, but they find their self worth in what the average retard thinks of them online.

224 from SCOTUS majority opinion:

Consider, too, where the State and dissent’s logic leads.
Not long ago, many medical experts and organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, considered homosexuality a mental disorder... On the view Colorado and the dissent advance, a law adopted during that era prohibiting counselors from engaging in the “substandard care” of affirming their clients’ homosexuality would have been subject to only rational-basis or intermediate-scrutiny review—and likely upheld. Today, tomorrow, and forever, too, any professional speech that deviates from “current beliefs about the safety and efficacy of various medical treatments” could be silenced with relative ease. Post, at 24 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). It is a consequence Colorado freely acknowledges. And one the dissent embraces. Post, at 23–26, and n. 9 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). So what if that kind of reflexive deference to currently prevailing professional views may not always end well?

The Morning Report — 3/31/26

NEANewsom.jpg

Good morning kids. While it was easy to laugh at the infantile mass lunacy of the No Kings "be-ins" over the weekend, this happened:


Brian Stewart, the Chair of the Hernando County Democrat Party, was charged with simple battery following the incident in Spring Hill. He was booked Saturday afternoon and released two hours later after posting a $1,000 bond, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office. . . A statement from the Hernando County Conservatives organization claims Stewart shoved a “permanently disabled” military veteran who “served our country with honor and distinction” and then struck him in the head with a megaphone.

OF course that is but one example but that it was not just some random braindead AWFL or Soros rent-a-thug but a local Dem bigwig. Of course, what we witnessed over the weekend and indeed starting with the anti-war protests and civil rights riots of 60years ago right up until the present day has is roots in the classrooms and lecture halls of academia.


Members of America’s largest teachers’ union, the National Education Association (NEA), were back in training in February, this time for a confidential webinar entitled “Advocacy and Free Speech Rights for K-12 Educators.” The leaked slide deck, posted by the watchdog group Defending Education, reveals that the NEA is less focused on American students’ stagnant test scores than on training its members to become activists, while using misinterpretations of the First Amendment as a shield.

The February session complements the union’s December 2025 in-person training on “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice.” That event counseled attendees to “develop a toolset of tactics for dismantling systems of privilege and oppression.”


Students in New Mexico will learn more about the January 6 Capitol riot and climate change than the moon landing. New Mexico high school history guidelines contain over a dozen references to the January 6 riot while only mentioning the moon landing once. The guidelines, part of the New Mexico Instructional Scope for History, are largely focused on racial and gender grievances and encourage teachers to promote Democratic politicians and lament how the richest men in the United States today are “mostly white.”. . . “These state level documents expose a troubling pattern by education activists of pushing leftwing political and social biases into K-12 classrooms as established ‘facts,'” Staley told The Daily Wire. “Students and families deserve an education that values a politically neutral approach to weighing different sides of issues, not political indoctrination.”


Of course The Land of Dis-Enchantment will not be teaching so much as brainwashing their children about the events of that day. No mentioning of Ashlii Babbitt or Roseanne Boyland and how they were murdered in cold blood by Nancy Pelosi's, Christopher Wray's and John Brennan's goons with badges and disguises.

No Kings, but Red Guards disguised as Democrats abound. Unless and until Academia from pre-school through post-graduate is utterly seized and restored to some semblance of sanity. Meh, that requires the restoration of morality, ethics, sanity and american/western cultural values across our entire society. Did the Long March through the institutions bring us to our knees, and if so, is there a road back?


Have a great day!

Polio, tuberculosis, typhus, and whooping cough were all real threats. Not to mention tetanus and about 1 million other diseases. Plus they are in the middle of The Great Depression where there was no money and people were literally starving. When I get frustrated with the current state of affairs I look at this picture and remind myself that we actually have it pretty good.

24 "Newsom’s Wife Brought Children to Red States to See Racism, Sexism, and Bullying Firsthand"

I gotta share something here.

During the recent County Council primary we were speaking with a local businesswoman who transplanted from the downtown Baltimore area many years ago.

She was supporting one of the Republican candidates who exudes the wafting scent of a Progressive wearing Republican clothing. And she told us that she is ready to leave the State due to the hidden racism that is embedded here.

And then yesterday at the Post Office, I had a total stranger who moved here from NYC three years ago explain to me how he is uncomfortable with the deeply hidden racism in the State, that isn't visible unless one is trained on where to see it.

'Hidden Racism' seems to be the intended progressive weapon in the upcoming mid-term.

66 Democrats seen as taking back the House after Republicans quit in numbers not seen since the Great Depression
A record number of House Republicans are not seeking re-election...As of Monday, a record 36 Republicans have announced they would not run...

Always the same cycle.....
1. Republicans get us into a war.
2. Economy implodes.
3. Democrat is elected and the economy starts to recover and the country heals.
4. Republicans get re-elected.

I really miss the days where I'd go into election day hoping my preferred slate of candidates would win, but not dreading what would happen if they lose. Like McCain vs Obama in 08, I vastly preferred Obama winning, but didn't fear the end of the Republic if McCain won.

Trump is doing everything possible to centralize everything in the oval office so the other branches of government won’t be necessary.

There will be no sanity until the right wing propaganda/disinformation media ecosystem is addressed. we're going to need to take care of the billionaire problem

it will be harder for democrats to run against "fresh face" republicons than "retiring" republicons responsible for all this bullshit.

130 Since March 28, 2024, homicide has dropped 61%, motor vehicle theft decreased by 53% and robbery fell by 45%, according to the data shared with the Caller.

In August, Trump federalized the D.C. police and deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., to help with crime in the city.

Once again I think that high crime is the Progressive plan to create a new National Police that THEY control.

from your keyboard to God's ears!!!

btw to the "how are people doing?" question us personally really well. lots of business and I mean we own the house here so not affected by high interest rates on loans. the kids are a mix - one living in town here has low rent and they're thinking of moving to a new place with lower rent! rents in Philly are going down in a lot of places, and there's more availability. take from that what you will.

up north things are still pretty rough, it's so expensive to rent in these not-so-nice places, I don't get it. and hard to keep up with cost of living, even in upstate NY! it is wild. so I dunno. we have problems in PA but NE has more problems than we do seems like. not great for young people up there. they do want to stay after graduation but I'm like ... why?

Both of them inherited disastrous leftist policies, nihilism, and cultural decay, and both vowed to make America great again. Both earned the gratitude of nations and individuals by making the world freer, more peaceful, and secure. And both were spared for a reason.

There was a plot by Thune to try to get Trump to endorse Cornyn; Trump made a couple unfortunate posts about the idea, but quickly got the message from his Texas supporters that everybody here just wanted him to stay out of it - which fortunately he did. Runoff is on May 26.

Most recent statewide polls show Wesley Hunt voters mostly switching to Paxton, and Cornyn still stuck at the same 41% he got the first time. (Only those who voted in the first round are allowed to vote in the second)

Chip Roy is for Chip Roy. Chip Roy is a pos.

• Calls for Paxton resignation • 2020 election aftermath: Roy resisted fraud claims,
• warned against a “conspiracy frenzy,” and
• opposed efforts (including some GOP lawsuits) to overturn results. He later
• said Trump engaged in “clearly impeachable conduct” over Jan. 6,
• Backed DeSantis in 2024: Roy supported Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican primary instead of Trump, increasing tensions.
• Opposition to Trump-backed legislation: Roy [created all kinds of issues on spending bills, etc. Posing for the cameras if you will.]
• voted against a Trump-endorsed spending/debt-ceiling bill and publicly criticized GOP leadership; Trump publicly attacked Roy on social platforms and urged a primary challenge.
• Public floor rebukes of GOP leadership:
• Roy’s high-profile floor speeches and refusals to back Trump priorities (citing fiscal and constitutional concerns) drew Trump’s ire and led Trump to label him a “RINO” and call him disloyal.

@KanekoaTheGreat
What a misleading headline from The Daily Mail.

The ATF ran a tool mark analysis on a bullet jacket fragment recovered from Charlie's autopsy.

The result was "inconclusive" — not "no match."

The jacket was too fragmented to compare, which also partially explains the lack of an exit wound.

The bullet shattered on impact.

"Inconclusive" means insufficient evidence to draw any conclusion.

It doesn't mean the bullet "did NOT match" the rifle like the headline says.

The defense wants to use "inconclusive" as exculpatory evidence — but the prosecution wants to run chemical or molecular analysis comparing the jacket alloy to ammunition recovered with the gun.

Unlike tool mark analysis, it doesn't require an intact bullet.

The defense is trying to block that testing from happening.

That's the nuance of the real story.

I was willing to listen to the claims that impeachment was justified, and Dade Phelan’s promise that all of the Hard Evidence of Corruption would be shown to the public. So I watched that story closely.

And when it came time for the “hard evidence”, every bit of it was “my girlfriends cousin told me that Paxton said all kinds of stuff to her, but no she doesn’t want to talk about it herself” and “my brother knows a contractor who said Paxton asked a buddy of his for a kickback to get the job, but no they don’t want to talk about it themselves.”

Thanks, I missed that wrinkle. But past results show that those who didn’t vote in the first round are very unlikely to vote in the second; and since the Democrat primary was hotly contested with a heavy (for them) turnout, there won’t be crossover voting.

It’s a fun example to watch. Cornyn has a lot of institutional support, but zero grass roots support. Paxton is hated by all the institutions, but the grass roots voters are devoted to him.

366 Judge Reassigns Elon Musk Cases After Accusations Of Bias

Attorneys representing Musk recently filed a motion for recusal or reassignment, pointing to how McCormick on LinkedIn had clicked that she supported a post that celebrated a 2026 ruling against Musk in California. The post, from a jury consultant, said “sorry, Elon,” and congratulated the legal firms that represented the plaintiff in the case as “standing up for the little guy against the richest man in the world.”

The judge denied she is biased, but blamed the media attention the allegations have drawn for prompting her to reassign the cases...

370 Ice core records from Antarctica document continuous variations in atmospheric greenhouse gases over the past 800,000 years, delineating the glacial–interglacial cycles that characterize the late Pleistocene epoch. Studies of blue ice areas have extended these records back to 2 million years (Myr). The evolution of atmospheric greenhouse gases before this time thus remains uncertain. Here we use discontinuous ice core snapshots spanning 3.1–0.5 Myr ago (Ma) to show no marked change in mean methane (CH4) and a small decline of about 20 ppm in carbon dioxide (CO2) between 2.9 Ma and 1.2 Ma, followed by stable concentrations (±10 ppm) across the mid-Pleistocene Transition. Our findings are based on the shallow ice cores drilled in the Allan Hills Blue Ice Area (BIA), Antarctica. The records are complicated by postdepositional processes and probably represent averages over glacial cycles weighted by climate-dependent differences in accumulation rates (which we assume to be constant). Samples aged 2.8–3.1 Myr, affected by respiration and corrected using stable carbon isotopes in CO2 (δ13C), yield mean atmospheric CO2 levels indistinguishable from the early Pleistocene (250 ± 1

Districts must contribute a high percentage of teacher salaries (up to 34% in some projections) to the pension system, a rate increase that has created intense fiscal strain.

Pension costs, along with charter school tuition and special education, have outpaced the state funding allocated to cover them, forcing heavy reliance on local revenue.

Got my MacBook Sky yesterday. It will take a bit to get used to it. I like it but MacOS isn't Linux Mint or Windows. It's different. The laptop itself is very nice. Lightweight, pretty fast, fairly easy to set up though I'm still doing that, and runs quiet. Safari is different. I'll figure it out. I went to The Masters website and tried to save one of the pictures there. One of the holes. It saved the whole page and I just want the image. Should be a way in Safari to just save the image. I've done it in other browsers (Edge, Google, Brave, etc).

Apparently not that good. I'm seeing $231.95 USD on amazon.com, after I entered a U.S. zip code, but I'm still browsing from Canada, so who knows what their price algorithm is doing to that.

Checking amazon.ca: Supposedly 5 featured offers starting at $467.22, but it's also saying "no featured offers available" meaning they don't really have any.

The 4 TB option is $695.00 CAD.

I did get a refund, no questions asked.

And I actually managed to pick up a couple of Team-brand drives to replace them, at a lower cost per gigabyte and TLC rather than the QLC used in this model, so I'm not too put out by it.

Those drives have doubled in price in the last month, so not a minute too soon either.

17 So yesterday morning I had mentioned my dissatisfaction with our new Kwikset smart door lock.

Yesterday afternoon Kwikset reached out to me, and we spent about 20 minutes on the phone discussing the ongoing issues with the lock.
Very nice young lady, intelligent and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the lock, both mechanically and smart feature sides.

After going over all the what-nots and stuff, she unasked told me that first they were sending me a complete new unit.

Upon receipt and install, if the issues persist, the whole thing jumps to the next level of tech support to see if there are additional factors causing the problem.

So.....things are happening.

Command + space bar is your friend and should become the main way you open apps or try to find things.

Command + tab will bring up all open apps and let you cycle through them. Command + q closes them.

Install home brew, it's a Mac terminal package manager that will allow you to install software via the terminal.

Install kitty or ghosty, these are terminals and are superior to the built in Mac terminal.

Install Chrome or Brave web browsers, install vim extension in either of them. This will allow you to navigate the web browser with keyboard commands.

I would recommend installing aerospace.

At the end of the day, you should be able to drive your Mac via the keyboard and using the mouse as little as possible.

This will make using your computer so much more productively .

29 In other tech annoyances, GoComics has (apparently sometime between yesterday and today) implemented a new security layer to protect themselves from attacks. They've outsourced this to some outfit called 'bunny.net' that requires the running of WebAssembly in my browser.

Thing is, I'd long ago turned off WebAssembly in my browser (FireFox) in order to protect myself from buffer overflow attacks that could break out of WebAssembly's sandbox.

End result: I'm not reading three comics at GoComics anymore as of this morning. Oh well.

I did dash off a note to them explaining things, and that I didn't expect them to revert their changes just due to me, but I at least wanted to let them know that not everyone out there is willing to let WebAssembly run, and why.

Now if Firefox had a per-site whitelist where I would allow web-assembly to run, then maybe I'd change my stance. Maybe.

Morning to you, G & R,

I've never driven a school bus except in my imagination. In a mystery novel I plan to self-publish, the narrator, a 27-year-old woman who knows how to drive a stick, is forced to drive a school bus in the snow along a twisting mountain road as darkness falls, to save her boss's life. I just tried to imagine the noise and vibration, the feel of the bus's long body, etc. My pre-readers have told me it was exciting, which was what I was hoping for!

Furballs are well -- and hungry! Dagny is right here with me.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at March 31, 2026 06:01 AM (wzUl9)

46 As for the taxes, I looked back at the last three years of state returns. I claimed my SS deduction then. The deduction used to be right there on the main form, like on the Fed 1040. Now, like that one, you have a "Schedule E" where you enter it and any others. I almost missed it and was thinking I had a *big* payment to make -- enough so that I should have sent estimated payments to the state last year.

51 @45/Wolfus:

Glad the furry thugs are well, and of course they're hungry! ;-)

As to the School Bus driving: One of the biggest problems when driving a bus is the fact that when making a left turn, you have to turn WIDE so you don't impinge on the opposite lane for the pair of lanes you're turning into (ie, don't go over the other guy's stop line.) And yet, that's a lot easier than making a right.

Right turns are a pain in the ass in a school bus, mostly because the bus hangs out an additional distance behind the back wheels, and those wheels are the pivot point in a turn.

You must drive straight out into the intersection until the edge of the curb is just past the middle of your service door, and then begin your turn. If you do it right, and while watching your lower mirror on the right, your back right wheels will JUST miss the curb and not go up over it.

You're also trying to balance your front left of the bus not touching the car at his stop line in front of you to the left, as well as making sure your back left of your bus doesn't swing out and hit a car as you turn.

Oh, and did I mention making sure bicyclists aren't coming up on your right side while turning right?

53 SF chocolate company recalls products for being spiked with Viagra ingredients
By Itzel Luna,
Los Angeles Times
March 30, 2026

The San Francisco Bay Area's Gear Isle recalled the products after they were found to contain undeclared prescription drug ingredients used to treat erectile dysfunction, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced last week. The products, sold online across the U.S., were found to have sildenafil and tadalafil. The ingredients could cause a "life-threatening" drop in blood pressure when mixed with nitrates found in prescription drugs, according to the FDA.

The two recalled products are Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate Male Enhancement Sachet and ilum Sex Chocolate Male Sexual Enhancement Booster. The FDA initially issued a warning in February advising consumers not to purchase the second item after confirming the product contained tadalafil.

I was forced to correspond with Indian coders and support staff at one point in my career. It was terrible. Their culture has a baked-in attempt to shift responsibility to ANYONE else other than the person you're speaking with or writing back and forth with. That, and I swear they're not permitted to show any initiative themselves, lest responsibility somehow fall upon their shoulders.

Maddening. Absolutely maddening.

For some reason viagra works as an off schedule drug for lowering blood pressure, yet its function is to cause a spike in blood pressure (of a sort).

Oh, and in a double-left turn lane, the bus and other large/long vehicles ALWAYS take the right-most of the left-turn lanes. (Otherwise the swing of the back end would hit a vehicle in that right-most left-hand turn lane during the turn and we don't want that.) Little vehicles take the inner/left-most turn lane.

I have said before, I think Chinese buyers of rhino horn and similar should all switch en masse to fake rhino with real erectile dysfunction drugs. Their culture has shown a complete absence of compunction against fraud, and that would save both the rhinos and the erections. As long as none of their customers tested for rhino DNA (and why would they), it would be a win/win!

Anyone else remember the days when you could buy software - like an OS - and you installed it... then you forgot about it unless you had to reinstall (like a new computer)? There were no updates for security they failed to build in? When they actually tested stuff before it went out the door? When you owned the software?

Posted by: GWB at March 31, 2026 08:55 AM (AtYqS)

88 @87/GWB: I remember those days, though they weren't as great as you remember. Software companies (including those who made operating systems) would simply not talk about the major vulnerabilities in public, and there wasn't the absolute pantsing you could give a company on the Internet that there is now if you did discover one. You could also call a company (even a large one) and talk to an actual person who would be willing to take in your bug report. (It was a bit of a black hole after that, but you hoped your bug report got to an actual development team.)

Not always though, smaller companies behind single products could be very communicative with regards to bugs, and that was an absolute joy to deal with.

Anyway, back to the large OS's: When the next version came out, it was assumed enough people would buy it and some would upgrade, that vulnerabilities that were addressed quietly between the versions would be enough.

Viruses tended to spread on boot sectors of diskettes at that time as well, which meant the speed of the infection was a LOT slower and not necessarily successful for the virus. Sure, some spread on BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems) but that was rare.

When I asked "GPT-5 mini," (via DuckDuckGo,) what the Real increase in U.S. Treasury Debt was from Jan. 21, 2024 until Mar. 24, 2026 in Y2K$, it hallucinated that the debt had shrunk by $175 billion. When I asked for Feb-2026$, (which are smaller ... because there are MOAR of them,) "GPT-5 mini's" hallucination shrank to $80.5 billion. When I challenged the results, the excuse for the obvious mistakes included "rounding errors."
.
According to a simple Google spreadsheet I put together using the same inputs as ShatGPT, I saw that real debt increased for both the Y2K$ case and the Feb-2026$ case.

At this point, I would trust a high school retard to do a better job than AI.

The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

"We believe our policies are consistent with the law and reflect our commitment to fairness, opportunity, and building the strongest possible teams," NFL executive vice president Jeff Miller

I normally don't comment on the Quotes of The Day. Between this Miller guy and his gutless, spineless, testicle free boss Roger Goodell I can't stand the NFL and it can't go broke fast enough. I grew up close to Green Bay and have always been a Packers fan.

But since 2020 I've given up on the league. The kneelers, the "Hands up" bullshit, politics entered the game. So I now spend my Sunday afternoons doing anything but watching football.


Quote II

“Neither the bases are authorized, nor, of course, is the use of Spanish airspace authorized for any actions related to the war in Iran,” Spain's Defense Minister Margarita Robles


With allies like this who needs friends? What our open borders types never want to discuss out loud is: What happens when Europe becomes a Caliphate and possesses nuclear weapons. Looking at another gutless, spineless, testicle free boi named Keir Karen Starmer.


Quote III

‘I was so small, I was just a walking boob throughout the whole of school. I definitely looked super awkward because I had nothing on me apart from boobs.’ Summer Robert

So what else is Uncle Sam up to besides blowing the bejeebers out of the Iranians? Lunar Gateway dead as NASA announces major changes to its future space station, lunar, and Mars plans

apitalism in space As part of the reshaping of NASA being pushed by NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, the agency today announced major changes to its future programs in low Earth orbit, on the Moon, and in exploring Mars. Video of these changes can be viewed here and here.

The Moon

NASA will now focus all work in its lunar program on getting to the surface of the Moon. Lunar Gateway is “paused,” though the language of NASA’s press release suggests more strongly that it is dead, with the agency already trying to figure out ways to “repurpose” its already built components. NASA will instead ask for proposals from private industry and its international Artemis partners to ramp up as soon as possible a phased program to establish the infrastructure on the Moon needed for the lunar base. This new focus begins with “up to 30 robotic landings in three years, starting in 2027,” and at least two manned landings per year beginning in 2028.

The graph below, presented during today’s announcement, shows the basic plan for the next few Artemis missions, which will act as the manned foundation for this entire surface-focused program. The overall program will build out the lunar base in three phases, first to test some basic infrastructure using these smaller lunar landers, second to begin establishing the base’s foundational components with intermittent manned missions, and third to begin long-term human occupancy.

It seems like this poor girl can't get an even break from the scolds and cuck bois.

In a town where most celebrities can’t be bothered to acknowledge the military unless it’s a Veterans Day photo op with a sepia filter, one Hollywood star just did something that shouldn’t be remarkable — but absolutely is.

Sydney Sweeney, the actress best known for stealing scenes in Euphoria and The White Lotus, took to her Instagram Stories to share a photo of her brother and deliver a message so simple it apparently short-circuited half the internet.

“Receiving calls from my bro always make me happy when he’s deployed,” Sweeney wrote.

And then she committed the unforgivable sin of being publicly grateful to the United States Armed Forces.

21 Earlier this week, Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows directed a Texas legislative committee to study the possibility of adding “one or more contiguous counties of New Mexico” to the state of Texas. The committee has been instructed to study the constitutional, legal, fiscal, and economic feasibility of such a move and outline what steps would be required at both the state and federal levels.

Burrows framed the idea as a conversation about representation and economic alignment, particularly in the oil- and gas-producing Permian Basin region that stretches across southeastern New Mexico and West Texas.

And that upper four sring tuning of DGCF means you can use the same shapes played on the bajo on those strings, play them in the lower (in pitch) strings on the guitar and get similarly-voiced chords on a six string acoustic tuned EAGBDE.

47 You all need to find some clips from this weekdn’s convention of the socialist Canadian party the New Democrat Party that have gone viral. . It’s woke on steroids. If the Babylon bee had done this as a skit, people would have said come on guys it’s too much.

Everyone has to say their pronouns before speaking, they have pink cards for women and blacks to speak ahead of white men, then the blacks complain that white men got ahead of them. They are still eating masks. It’s a freak show.

This is an actual major party in Canada and they win seats. It’s both scary and hilarious simultaneously.

The Security Decree works.

The preventive detention ordered for 91 individuals from the anarchist movement, deemed dangerous and who arrived in Rome for a demonstration unauthorized by the Police Headquarters in memory of the two anarchists who died on March 19 in the explosion of a bomb they were making, confirms the necessity of this provision.

It does not serve to limit the freedom to demonstrate, as certain leftists claimed.
It serves, on the contrary, to ensure that demonstrations take place in a peaceful and non-violent manner, as provided for in the Constitution, and to protect those who want to exercise that right in a civilized manner, without violence and without devastation.

It is in this direction that the Government will continue to move: more tools to ensure safety for all and more protections for those who want to demonstrate peacefully.

...............................
And Belgium would lie down and let them. Tiny men. I took a survey on a train once from Munich to Bruges.

Granted it was a commuter train, end of the work day, and four blonde Americans got on to their dismay with one carry on suitcase.They were yapping in Finnish, which none of us speak. I was tired. Made my way to a seating of 4 lads sharing a beer over a table. One tiny man was hogging two seats and I asked politely to sit and he moved over (seeing as I was taller, lovely but with a mean crazy look in my eyes). The rest of my family were strap hangers, but not me.

They chattered away as I looked at scenic windmills and commented how pretty, etc. Knowing they hated my American guts and ignoring that fact because I did not care.

When two got off the third one actually made eye contact and was nice to me. As it bloody well should have been from the start since they were not speaking German thanks to us.

It depends on a lot of things, including the bullet, the charge, the age of the ammo, the condition of the rifle chamber and barrel, and how it was modified from 8mm Mauser to 30-06.

Artemis II is sort of like Apollo 8, but it's not going to go into lunar orbit, just a free-return fly-by. It will go "higher" beyond the Moon than any other Apollo mission and set a record for that, but it won't go into orbit.

Why? Because the stupid SLS and Orion don't have the fuel/delta-v budget to insert into lunar orbit and get out. Orion/SLS is no Apollo/Saturn V.

Oh, they're going to use Elon's tankers. Big Time. This is what a boondoggle the SLS/Orion approach is. The lunar lander is going to be a modifed Starship, dubbed Starship HLS. It has to get the Moon and insert itself into orbit on it's own. Multiple refueling and tanker launched into LEO will be required to fuel an HLS version for its trip to the Moon.

Orion carries the crew. The dock in an EPO/CoLA orbit (that stands for Elliptical Polar with Co-plane Line of Apsides -- I roll my eyes at their acronyms).

Crew transfers to HLS to land. HLS then brings them back to Orion. At this point, you scream, if Starship is going to do all that, then why doesn't it just carry the astronauts itself to begin with?

Posted by: Kill a Commie for Christ at March 30, 2026 11:47 PM (iZy2L)

The communist countries never saw the need to follow safety protocols - for example, onboard destruct systems if a rocket goes out of control. I remember seeing a cell phone video sent out of China after a failed rocket launch from the countries interior. (Don’t know if it was a satellite or military or whatever) Big rocket goes up, looks good, then it loses control and pitches down and there’s no self destruct - it flies at full power straight down into a populated area where all that rocket fuel made a real Big Bada Boom.

The Chinese never reported it. When asked they said there was no crash because there was no launch. What about the video? There was no video, and if we find person who took video that does not exist, he get long stay in re-education camp.

Also from the article, about her OnlyFans account:

and last month alone she made £70,000. Alarmingly three of her former teachers have subscribed to her account.

If you're making $92,000 a month, you can afford to travel to a sane country, like the USA, to get a breast reduction.

Or you can continue to make $92,000 a month using your life-threatening calcium cannons.

Seems to me they could do mass spectrometry analysis of the lead alloy and copper alloy of the bullet jacket from the fatal bullet and of an unfired one from the rifle's magazine. Should be the same. Not necessarily dispositive if they are the same, but if they differed beyond the range of experimental error, it could be reason to do more examinations.

I go back to the day a friend mag dumped an AR15 into a large car battery. I think a 27 series, and all it did was poke holes in it and knock one of the caps off. I hit it with an M1 garand with one shot and the battery vanished, like removed from this earth. We found one small chunk of corner and maybe a few small shard of the plates. That was it, gone, scattered to the wind. That was probably 1960's surplus ammo. I could not believe the frigging power that round had. With that kind of energy I would figure a neck shot would pop his head from his body, unless there just wasn't enough area to generate the hydrostatic shock. I still can't believe that battery. Its etched in my mind.

I think that managers always feel like they need to put their mark on the department, so they have something to point to in their bid for their next position. So, IT managers for an established product are always pissing off customers by messing with their "cognitive capital" of knowing how things work. It's a real cost, and I think that for very large projects like Windows, it could be worth it to bring in a cross-functional manager near the end whose bragline would be something like "saved us from pissing us all our valued customers, by cutting 1213 wholly unnecessary changes from the new version."

Artemis II is sort of like Apollo 8, but it's not going to go into lunar orbit, just a free-return fly-by. It will go "higher" beyond the Moon than any other Apollo mission and set a record for that, but it won't go into orbit.

Why? Because the stupid SLS and Orion don't have the fuel/delta-v budget to insert into lunar orbit and get out. Orion/SLS is no Apollo/Saturn V.

The original Chevy Colorado was a weird beast that look like a Tahoe, with the rear roof cut off, and an end gate fitted to the back of the cab. Just like the Honda Fridgeline (so named, because it is an appliance). But I thought the Colorado name was now used on a "mid-size" pickup; a little bigger than the old S10, but smaller than a base Silverado?

Heavy water fun facts. Freezing point is 38.9F and boiling point is 214.6F. It's about 10% denser than normal water. Heavy water ice would sink in regular water.

These large difference in these basic properties are due to the 2x mass difference between D and H. You can also play around with oxygen isotopes, say O-18 or -17 instead of O-16. This doesn't make much difference, because the relative mass difference isn't that much.

This is the toxicity mechanism. All the biochemical reactions that power us are in water as a solvent. That big difference in properties due to the large relative messes up those reactions.

The Chicago Bulls NBA team announced on Monday that it has waived guard Jaden Ivey "due to conduct detrimental to the team." This comes after Ivey posted a series of videos to social media in which he called the league’s celebration of Pride Month "unrighteous," and said "I’m born again," and "I’ve been saved by Jesus Christ."

"They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA. They show it to the world. They say, 'Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.' They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards, they proclaim it in the streets, unrighteousness."

Posted by: Duke Lowell at March 30, 2026 08:18 PM (u73oe)

114 The Chicago Bulls NBA team announced on Monday that it has waived guard Jaden Ivey "due to conduct detrimental to the team." This comes after Ivey posted a series of videos to social media in which he called the league’s celebration of Pride Month "unrighteous," and said "I’m born again," and "I’ve been saved by Jesus Christ."

"They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA. They show it to the world. They say, 'Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.' They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards, they proclaim it in the streets, unrighteousness."

I know a lot of people think Trump & co. badly botched the Epstein files, but I think they knew what they were doing. They teased them out, and went from being all for it to totally against it, *knowing* the Dems would reflexively demand their release.

So it got dumped, and the damage fell entirely on the left, and now - very important here - a precedent has been set. Even if no charges were brought, the FBI can, as a public service - dump a bunch of adverse info about you.

Yes, it's bad, but this is where we are. Sometimes people need to understand that turnabout is fair play.

She hates "jock girls." She identifies as a nerd, hence the glasses. She is not a nerd. She is too stupid to be a nerd. In the 80s she would make fun of nerds along with the rest of the theater kids, but no one would care what she said. Somehow theater kids got status, which was a disaster. Now the jocks are reasserting authority and using weaponized nerd planning to destroy their enemies.

A description of penguin egg gathering:

"Fancy what work, to stand amid hundreds of the birds, all screaming round you, so as almost to deafen you, tumbling them here and there, and picking up their eggs as fast as you can gather them! It is really amusing sport. I must remind you the kicking them over with our soft moccasins does not hurt them in the least, and the next day they will have just as many eggs."

If you hard-boil them, the 'white' part is translucent. Chicken eggs contain ovalbumin, while penguin eggs contain penalbumin.

174 The problem with The Epstein Files(tm) is that they don't prove what the Left and the nonMAGA Right want them to prove, which is that Trump diddled kids.
He didn't.
But as long as they don't prove it, and don't disprove it, they'll still keep it in the air. Like the "dancing Israelis" on 9/11, or WTC7. Like the USS Liberty.
The point - for the Candace Owens / Ron Unz crew - never was to exonerate Trump; it was to Keep Asking Questions. The uncertainty feeds their audience. They'll never be satisfied.

The modern left has valorized cowardice. At the same time, they push assisted suicide. How do we square this circle?

It's actually quite simple. The key is selfishness. No matter what you do or who you hurt, you have no remorse or regret. You are all that matters.

This is why assisted suicide is okay. If you are in a bad way, don't think of those you leave behind, the anguish you will cause, the heartbreak that will last a lifetime, because you are all that matters.

This is not Marxism. It is not collectivist. It is pure evil.

Point of Order! Spain was excluded from NATO because a bunch of Communist sympathizers hated Franco. Because of that, Spain entered a bi-lateral treaty with the US.

Later on, the pinkos were discredited and Spain was permitted full membership. When France decided to screw us in 1986 and made our F-111s fly around France to hit Khaddafi, Spain was not part of that. This is a new thing.

The current government is horribly unpopular and it is abusing its power to make as many illegals voters as possible.

There are 2 ways to tune those things. Those things are crazy. One tuning is exactly like a 12 string acoustic, but an octave down, and the other tuning is different in the last 2 pairs, where a guitar is tuned E-A-D-G-B-E, the sexto is E-A-D-G-C-F. Weird animal that thing.

245 Okay, so here's my current take.

No, we are not putting boots on the ground. However, it is very useful to make people think we are. Here's why.

1. Iran will have to concentrate its ground forces to effectively resist it. That means pulling troops out of bunkers and putting them on roads where they are sitting ducks. Even midnight convoys won't work. Not now. They will use only the most loyal troops for this, and I'm sure we see the problem for Iran here.

2. It further exposes the grifters. Honest people can honestly disagree, express fear, but the grifters are being exposed. Trump's first term was pretty much defined by betrayals. He wants those people rooted out, not just for him, but forever. The traitors must be found and excised from the body politic. He's done a great job so far, but this is a decisive test that separates those with flawed judgement or apprehension from the bad actors.

How do I know? Because if Trump wanted to invade Iran from the get-go, the signs would have been obvious. Note that he is activating units in reverse order: the door-kickers should have been in position first. Now they arrive as an afterthought. This is pure genius.

Democrats are now FUMING that Trump is paying TSA agents and are desperate to stop it, claiming it's "illegal"

Play this clip on a loop in every airport in America until the elections

Video here.

Of course: The Biden White House edited reports about the covid "vaccines'" risks of causing strokes to downplay those risks, contrary to the precious science.

White House officials edited messaging on the finding that there was a higher-than-expected number of strokes following COVID-19 vaccination, according to newly released documents.

In January 2023, during the Biden administration, the White House changed wording on post-vaccination ischemic stroke from "moderately elevated" to "slightly elevated," the records show.

Officials also made other changes, including removing the words "potential risk."

More examples of the political edits to the precious science here. More in these two posts.

WOW: 🚨CA Democrats under @GavinNewsom
just introduced the "MELT ICE Act" AB 1627.

It would PERMANENTLY ban anyone who worked for ICE during President Trump's term from ever becoming a cop or a teacher in the state.

This is political revenge dressed up as "protecting trust" at its best!

"No Kings," huh?

Blue Checkmark: The US hit Iran's heavy water production facility in order to kill Iranian citizens with thirst.

"Heavy water" is water in which the hydrogen atoms have neutrons. Most hydrogen is just a single proton. Heavy water is needed for nuclear reactors. It moderates the kinetic energy of the neutrons released during fission, to keep the nuclear reaction from getting out of hand and melting down the reactor.

In Iran's case, it is used in reactors to produce weapons-grade uranium. No one drinks it. I guess you could drink it but heavy water is extremely expensive. I'd guess, tens of thousands of dollars per ounce.

In elementary school, at these coed games she speaks of, I feel certain in dodge ball people aimed at her violently (I would). She would then be hit and lie there like a fainting goat (missing her glasses from impact).

This heavy water you speak of I will have to file away in the event the woman who loves Iran and hates Trump returns and I see her online. She's been absent for two weeks, no doubt emailing others of how mean I am. I don't have anyone's email and also don't care much.

I'm not mean until she said Centcom lied. Otherwise I am basically harmless to others. Just don't lie and we good, mate. In her anger she probably protected a hive of yellowjackets (actually she really did, sort of, somehow gently killed them like in Canada. Euthenasia for hornets).

I looked at the criticism of the ballroom and saw mostly no problem. And it's paid by donations, donchaknow, marchers! Why do they care except TRUMP!?

I LOVE that normal people have a sense of humor to correct the diagram. And use the red ink of importance!

LOVE the blank stare by Rep Busted Hymen when Margaret asked that question. Deer meet headlights! Doh!

I don't understand the marching with stupid No King's signs that still make no sense to me. I could retalitate and march with "You don't make sense" signs, wearing a cardboard box, but am too lazy.

From the caliber of marchers I'm quite sure I could insult them as they mostly seem like confused queers. This is the highlight of their week!

Of course, all of the drones are hardened against the bespoke electronic counter-measures and counter-counter-measures that are barely visible below the roofline, where they won't interfere with the M-SHORAD's range of fire...

After taking care of my late mother for 14 years, my brain was really hyper-alert. I was listening for her non-stop for years. Nd I'd do it again but shaking hands level anxiety. My doctor, who I've been to maybe twice in 10 years prescribed anxiety pills and there's a nice lady that's been coming over.

That's why I've been watching the worst horror movies I can find. It's been a way to teach me that anxiety makes things worse than they actually are. And at least I'm not being sawed in half vertically.

Heavy water (D2O, and there's also DOH, which will form instantly when H2O and D20 are mixed) is toxic. The hydrogen bond is stronger with deuterium due to the larger relative mass difference (D is twice as massive as H).

The messes up all sorts of biochemical reactions in the body, slowing them down and so forth.

About 25 - 50% heavy water would be toxic to lethal. You'd get there eventually if you drank nothing but heavy water for a week or two.

181 Jessica Tarlov spouted some of her "facts" about NoKings, saying 8 million turned out at 3,300 locations around the US.

That amounts to about 2,400 at each, or 60 busloads of 40 each.

Averaging out across states, it amounts to 66 per state on average.

182
1) End universal health insurance
2) Work to lower costs and the graft it produces
3) Kill anyone who is too expensive

They picked the one that lets them keep the graft.

I'm wondering if the death pushers are mainly in larger metro areas where resources may be stretched.

My mother ALWAYS got great care at our local hospital, which is in a medium size city. And I saw a LOT of people there that were in pretty bad shape, but that was 15 months ago.

184 What's all this talk about Canadians and Youth In Asia. How are they connected and why should I care?

185 177 Modern day euthanasia programs are trending perilously close to the programs of Nazi Germany. Let that sink in - but it won't for many because after all it is a Woke Leftist jam, and Orange Man Bad. Somehow they will connect Maga.

Nah. They Want Theirs, and the only way they can keep getting "free" medical care is if the government kills people. They want "free" medical care, and if that means the government starts murdering people in the name of cost cutting, so be it.

Mao did say "It is better for half the people to die so that the other half can eat their fill."

187 By the way, has anyone seen the cast shot of the Harry Potter TV show HBO is coming out with? Black Snape looks like he's from the Matrix which is sad, but the funniest thing is the kids playing Hermione and Harry have Robert DeNiro's Frankenstein boots on.

I haven't looked at the ON budget lately, but it has been projected that something like 80% of its budget will go to "free" medical care alone in 2030. So killing people alleviates that to some extent.

Privatization and not killing anyone would also work wonders but that means politicians lose power and that's not good, is it?

191 If one want to order some heavy water, where could one do so? Could one find it on Amazon?
Posted by: Ali Abdula Mohamed at March 30, 2026 06:55 PM (vFG9F)


Give it a shot Ali. If Amazon can't fill your order, the nice men in suits and sunglasses who come knocking will help you.
Posted by: Diogenes


Only heavy water Amazon has is some kind of "thick" water. Has the consistency of honey.

Great. I've always wanted to chew my water.

Given how stupid expensive the NHS is, I'm surprised the UK hasn't had doctor assisted murder for many decades now.

It was a good weekend for us. Our Canadian division of our subsidiary, Rent-A-Deviant, made a killing in Winnipeg this past weekend too!

194 Heavy water is needed for nuclear reactors. It moderates the kinetic energy of the neutrons released during fission

Huh. "Heavy water reduces the speed and energy of those neutrons without absorbing them." - illuminem.com
I'd thought the neutrons were just trapped in the deuterium making it tritium.
That latter CAN happen, but usually tritium is made via lithium-6, which captures neutrons more easily. Lithium-7 will decay into tritium (and He-4 and a neutron).

197 Drinking heavy water as your water source will eventually wreck your metabolism and enzymatic processes. The weight difference is enough to mess it all up up.
Children of people in the US illegally are also illegal. Only the children born to people on the citizenship path will become citizens when their parents become citizens.
Shouldn’t be this difficult

198 f the Supreme Court agrees, it could render hundreds of thousands of children born to immigrant parents stateless.

I mean, no it would be like every other nation on earth and make them the citizenship of their parents.

And that country almost certainly claims them as citizens.
Usually whether they want it or not.

203 8 million. Still short.

Seems like the political science theory suggesting that no government has withstood a nonviolent challenge from 3.5% of its population mobilized during a peak event.

BBC, Harvard School of Business, Wikipedia, more.
