CBS "News:" The Totally-Legitimate Non-Fraudulent Day Care "Targeted" by Nick Shirley Has Now Closed, For Unkown Reasons We Couldn't Possibly Speculate About
The motive may never be known, they swore.
But we know that "regulators" were purposely not doing any regulating at all. They were not verifying enrollment records.
A Minneapolis day care featured in a right-wing YouTuber's video about alleged fraud in Minnesota is now closed, according to state records. Quality Learing Center [spelling corrected to the proper "Learing"] closed on Tuesday, according to the Minnesota Department of Human Services' licensing records. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families said that the center requested closure of its license effective Tuesday. "The provider is unable to reopen without reapplying for a license," the agency reported. The center's last licensing review, in June, found several operational violations but noted no evidence of fraud. ... CBS News conducted its own analysis of several of the day centers Shirley mentioned; all but two had active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations had been visited by state regulators within the last six months.
The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth and Families visited nine of the day cares from the video, finding children present at eight of them.Oh, after the video they rustled up some of their cousins' kids for a bit of matinee theater?
The ninth had not yet opened for the day when inspectors visited. Quality Learning Center received $1.9 million from Minnesota's Child Care Assistance Program in fiscal year 2025, according to the department. DCYF said it was made aware on Dec. 19 that the center intended to voluntarily close, but during a visit 10 days later, it learned it had chosen to remain open. Shirley's video reignited furor over fraud in Minnesota.But not in the media.
Targeted?? Well maybe don’t spell learning wrong at a “learing center” and receive $1.9M from taxpayers for fraud.

If it was such a good business why would it get shutdown?

They were doing such a good job taking care of kids that it was making all the other day cares feel bad.
So they transferred the Learing Center to Sanford.

Hell, in that vid the day after, when all the fake parents were dropping off fake children for PR, it literally looks like they're in a filthy alleyway outside of some rando delipidated building.
No legitimate business catering to children and their parents would operate out of these locations. They were obviously set up on the cheap, in areas not likely to call attention, without any regard to actually catering to children because they never intended to.
I'll bet you any amount of money that multiple "daycares" were operating out of the same space.

I wonder if there are criminal penalties for "regulators" deliberately and fraudulently overlooking regulatory requirements.
That is, if the regulations require a attendance certification, and that regulation was not followed nor was even a part of an investigation or certification verification, that would make the inspection fraudulent.

That's how nearly all these types of fraud operations, uh, operate.

Yep, in spades. I did a three-part post here yesterday on how effective audit systems work but I think I bored everyone with it--I never saw a response or a question. The "attendance certification" you speak of is a "internal control". Effective audit/examination work includes a review of internal controls and whether they are both in place and adequate for what they were designed to accomplish.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the owners recognized the danger of staying open and closed shop before the craziness escalated.
Yet another small businesses closing under Republican leadership. There's a reason red states are last in education, opportunity, health, employment, pay, life expectancy etc.
It's obviously because they have minorities. If those states were allowed to enslave their minorities, their politicians would let government do good things for the people again. Once ICE deports them all, then we'll be a freakin utopia
Can we talk about how creepy it is this person got near daycares? I wouldn’t want this asshole anywhere NEAR my children.

I'm sure that on the face of it each center had lists of names of enrollees. Lists of endless Somali names like Mohamed Mohamed. Amadou Mohamed. Mohamed Amadou. No Name Given. Names that would be unintelligible to anyone outside the community.
Plus, I'm sure there really were kid enrollees. The kids just never showed up and weren't expected to. It was a classic no-show job where the no-showers got a cut of the action. I'm sure the parents of all these enrollees did too.
Mohamed Mohamed and his wife Noclitus Bacabou had their son Mohamed Mohamed enrolled in probably a dozen daycares. They got a payoff from each of them.
If there ever were actual physical inspections, it was most likely Somalis doing the inspections, who were paid off to say "looks good to me." If it was a white inspector, how much incentive would they have to head-count a bunch of smellies all with the same names?

Under MN law, they are all required to have 75 square feet of outdoor play space per total capacity children.
So, 100 kid capacity means 7500 sqft of outdoor space.
None. Not one had that.
Yet, ever single one passed state initial approval and annual inspections.
But if a native citizen was 5 sqft feet too small? You better bet your last dollar they'd be shut down.

I saw an interview that Kim Strassel from WSJ had with Tim Pawlenty - probably the last R governor of MN. They talked about Walz. They talked about the Somalians. They talked about the government officials that refused to cooperate with law enforcement.
The one thing they didn't talk about was how the DFL benefitted from the fraud, both financially and electorally. It's like they want to studiously avoid how entrenched the Dems benefit from the corruption.

Referrals to the DOJ for criminal prosecution are not news. They are press releases from Congress that they did some theater.
News is the DHS and FBI going door to door in Minneapolis, raiding Somali run businesses all over the place. Which they are doing.
And I seriously doubt Walz gave up his bid to re-election because Kloubacher said mean things to him. He probably got a targeting letter from the DOJ.

Quick through, it seems to say they inspected and verified compliance of those 8.
Closer reading, deciphering the precisely worded and parsed statement, what is really says is:
We checked the records in our file and nothing is out of order.
They never actually, when you read the statement, investigated any of those 8 beyond a cursory glance.

The point of government is to take as much money from taxpayers as possible - so here the regulator's jobs were to keep these places open.
Now, this would be an interesting area for the DOJ to focus on. Bring in these low level schmucks and get them under oath to say what exactly they did before signing off on these places. Then if you catch them in a lie throw them in prison...and they'll talk.

Exactly. Anybody can make a criminal referral to the DOJ. They have no legally binding effect whatsoever.

Going out everyday to physically inspect homes and at-risk children? That's a lot of work and potentially very icky. So the CPS "inspectors" sit on their asses and do nothing. It's much easier to just check off "inspection was satisfactory" than actually doing any inspection.
So you end up with malnourished kids living in squalor in dangerous, violent homes getting beaten and sometimes killed. But the home has a clean record of inspections at CPS.

Suppose it's possible for a regime to hang on in these circumstances, but it is already greatly weakened.
Protests are explicitly political, not just economic, not about "reform" - but regime change.
Trump repeating his warning, this time saying we'll hit them "hard" if they .... well, if they do what they're already doing (shooting people).
Seems the al-Saud has already banked regime change in Tehran. They're reverting to lots of stupid old-school anti-Israel and even anti-US rhetoric in official media, and turning against the most anit-islamist faction in Yemen, and cozying up to Turkey. Rash moves absent a change of management in Tehran.

In Houston, they just raided an illegal adult care home. 5 patients.

But again, it still takes wrecking an entire *system* to pull off that level of fraud. Because filling out bogus "inspection reports" of places you've never been is just the start. Those bogus "reports" are supposed to be sent to a supervisor or supervisors who then review and respond. There's supposed to be some give and take. Further, there's usually specific "forms" (hand-written or digital) that are used to review specific functions and those forms are supposed to be sent as evidence that the reviews took place.
INSTEAD, the entire audit system was junked. Its not just the Somalis. There are a whole bunch of white and brown people who participated in gutting the entire audit system.

House hearing yesterday demonstrated Timmy's guilt of knowing about Somail corruption and having those investigations shut down too. Same with Ellison who was stupid enough to make remarks on tape agreeing with Somali leaders about the relationship between political support and thwarting investigations into Somali wrongdoing.

After studying the American Civil War for years, and others, I've come to realize the futility and tragedy of almost all civil wars. Unless the original, central government has already mostly collapsed because of its own decay and corruption, the separatists always lose.

This term was not defined by it does have minty overtones of her being a part of an organized left wing resistance group. Today I read Good had been harassing Federal law enforcement through out the morning. So yeah, there is a non trivial chance she was a paid agitator.

As noted Boelter said Walz told him to do it, and while that is a wild accusation, the timing checks out since she just voted against Walz on what we see is one of his biggest issues.
But the oddest part is the left quickly yanked this story out of the media which tells you they really don't want normies hearing "One of Gov Walz's flunkies killed an opposing politician and he says he was ordered to do it"

Nick Shirley's New Scoop: There Are 1000s of Fraudulent Minnesota (Somali) "Transport Companies" Taking Federal Money to Drive Around Patients, But the Patients are Phantoms
I'm beginning to see a pattern.
More:
YouTuber Nick Shirley says Minnesota's non-emergency medical transportation system has become a sprawling fraud operation hiding in plain sight, alleging that more than 1,000 transport companies are billing taxpayers for services that appear not to exist. In a video posted Monday, Shirley said his yearlong review of state records, site visits, and documentation -- conducted with a researcher he identified only as David -- points to a network of shell transportation outfits clustered around adult daycare centers, charter schools, and Medicaid-funded programs, particularly in the Twin Cities. "To have that many non-emergency medical transportation companies, it's not possible that they can transport that many people," David said, describing repeated visits to a Minneapolis facility where vans "have not moved one inch in an entire year," despite ongoing billing. ... Similar whistleblower complaints have surfaced in Maine and Ohio involving Somali-led health providers, and on Monday HHS disclosed new scrutiny tied to foreign officials. "I can confirm public speculation that Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN and President of the Security Council, is in fact associated with Progressive Health Care Services, a home health agency in Cincinnati," Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill wrote, adding that HHS "has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud."
Shirley's new video dials things up to 11. David Hoch, co-founder of Minnesotans for Responsible Government, joined him on the ground in Minneapolis, revealing an insane truth: this fraud hits hundreds of billions nationwide. Minnesota's slice? At least $80 billion. Layers of shell companies obscure the cash trail, including 1,200 medical transport outfits in the area that do nothing while collecting taxpayer dollars. Hoch swears by his evidence. "I have been to many of these transportation companies, and I've been time-stamping my photographs for a whole year at one facility in Minneapolis, and those vans in that parking lot had not moved one inch in an entire year. They're all still sitting there." Hoch also revealed a widespread ballot-harvesting operation tied to Somali communities in Minnesota, claiming the scale of the activity is "way beyond anybody's imagination," adding that "the state doesn't even know" and "the feds don't even know." Shirley asked Hoch why a judge would allegedly defer to what he described as the "head of the Somali mafia." Hoch responded that the influence stems from raw political power. He described the Somali community as a unified voting bloc that has effectively held Minnesota Democrats hostage. "What they say is if you do something to go against our community, we're gonna vote for, and they all vote together, and there's ballot harvesting, I've seen them do it, that, "We're gonna vote for your opponent, unless you do what we tell you to do.

@WallStreetApes A Somalian man named Mohammed took the podium in Maine to deliver a warning to Democrats If you keep talking about the fraud taking place, the entire voting community will abandon Democrats He actually says this, DEPORT THEM ALL 'Somalians came out in droves, demanding the city NOT investigate one of their own, Iman Osman' "My name is Mohamed. I'm speaking today on behalf of the Somali community in Lewiston. Some of you sitting here today, we voted for you. We elected you to protect our community interests, not creating division or go after one elected member from our community. This narrative, if this narrative continues, our community will be forced to re-examine our relationship or political relationship, including our relationship with the Democratic Party and who will be voting in the future." The Somalian man they are demanding they stop investigating is the Somalian refugee named Iman Osman who will be sworn into the Lewiston Maine City Council even though he's under investigation for fraud and lied about his address to run for the seat He's - Charged will stealing firearm
- Provided a false address to run for seat
- Lied about the address and reasoning
- Address given was condemned and raided for drugs
- He also currently sits on Lewiston School Board

You see, everyone had to meet quotas, and quotas went up every year regardless. So in the end the customer would show up at store and there was nothing to buy.
This feels like that -- we have transportation companies delivering non-people to care facilities, etc. It is all fraud.

Minnesota is going to be a liberal state even without the invading somalis. If liberal leaders secretly helped Trump weed out the somalis fraud, and deport all of them, they'll still stay in power but without having to bow down to this 3rd world trash.
But liberals have so much self hatred that they'll give themselves over to somalis and bow down to their demands, all because they hate their own white heritage.

Tim Pawlenty (R) was governor until 2011. Norm Coleman was GOP senator up to 2009 until Al Franken cheated him out with the notorious ballots in the back of a car trick.
It is the typical metro versus the countryside dynamic. Minneapolis and St. Paul are concentrations of the AWFLS, gubmint workers, and mega corp types versus the farmers, business types, etc. in the rest of the state.

I don't know Nick's motive for lying about that is - he certainly knows better. Perhaps he wants to keep the focus on the vulnerable MN Dems for political reasons.
But in general, the media does this because I needed to explain that to my wife, which is the point... she was pissed about it when she thought it was just MN, but she was *furious* when she found out it was *our* money being stolen.
Most people don't understand this or even know someone who does and can explain it to them. It's very important to deceive people about the source of these funds, so they don't come saying for Dem blood in all 50 states.

Probable cause. I am thinking now that Elon is correct, the fraud is on the level of at least a trillion bucks maybe up to 1.5 trillion of fraud, waste, and abuse. Get rid of that, we have no income tax.
These grifting sobs are literally taking chunks of people's lives where they work, not for pleasure, but for money to pay their bills.
Tax on labor is the most recessive of all because it punishes people for working to keep the lights on, their children fed, and to pay the necessary bills to survive.

TINY-HANDED TIRADE
Donald Trump has called for mass arrests among Minnesota’s Somali community as the state reels from the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old U.S. citizen by a federal immigration agent.
“Arrest them all. They are criminals!!!” the president wrote on Truth Social early Thursday, linking to a story by right-wing outlet Just the News about cash transfers to Somalia from the Minneapolis airport.
Fuck every ICE agent because at this point, they’re all guilty.Even the ones who haven’t committed any crimes *yet.* Also, is it possible to revoke a presidential pardon made by a previous president? Because I feel like we should be throwing people back in jail
I remember when Republicans were outraged by an idea Biden was colluding with the justice department, without evidence. Trump is now openly and unabashedly colluding with the justice to attack his perceived enemies...and Republicans are completely on board. It's wild to watch.

Boise elected a commie AWFL mayor and the Mormons are still bringing in their slave labor from every rat rodeo country on earth by the planeload. Good money in it for them. Lots of hijab zombies wandering around in the stores downtown with 5 kids under 10 who can't speak a word of English (kids or Mom).

I remember returning back from college and working summers in my hometown of Las Vegas in the early 80s.
Couldn't afford a car, so I rode my 10-speed bike everywhere, including 20 miles back and forth to work. I have this vivid memory of riding over the I-15 freeway on Charleston Blvd to work each morning ... and below me to the north seeing some small-time strip club with a big billboard advertising "Marilyn Chambers" -- whom I had no idea at the time who she was.
Creepily, when I "discovered" her years later, she looked quite a bit like my girlfriend from that earlier time ... oh, to be so innocent again.

This goes back to the great, and dearly departed, 80's SPY Magazine. They took to calling Trump (who was just a real estate mogul back then) a 'short-fingered vulgarian'. It was a dig that still resonates 40 years later for some reason. Most of the 27-year-olds that talk about the size of Trump's hands weren't even around when SPY was being published.

If you keep talking about the fraud taking place, the entire voting community will abandon Democrats
This is the deal the Dems struck with them.
Pay to bring them here, give them welfare/jizya, and share the graft and then the Somalis will let the Ds harvest their ballots.
So what do the Dems do now? They can get the fake votes elsewhere, maybe, but not only were these great grafting opportunities they were also mirrors of ones the Ds have with other illegals so those are presumably about to get exposed too...

To be vulgarian, the old saw is that the size of the hands relates to the size of a man's wedding tackle. Snarky way of saying small penis.
If I recall right though, it is the difference in length between the index and ring finger that matters which has something to do with estrogen versus testerone levels in an embryo while developing.

The most recent addresses of the ghey poet are from VA. Driving a SUV with Missouri tags...and many national park stickers on the SUV. I wonder if they were doing the "van life" to not have an address to avoid CPS? Paid agitators? Visiting family in MN over the holidays and getting some pay at the same time?

The Morning Rant: Our Goal In Venezuela Should Not Be The Creation Of a Jeffersonian Democracy
She also issued sharp criticism of Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, who was sworn in as interim president on Monday. Rodríguez has served as vice president under Maduro since 2018. "Delcy Rodriguez, as you know, is one of the main architects of torture, persecution, corruption, narco trafficking," Machado said. "She's the main ally and liaison with Russia, China, Iran, certainly not an individual that could be trusted by international investors. And she's really rejected, repudiated by the Venezuelan people."
Machado's presence in Venezuela will be a perfect focus for the people's efforts to overthrow the communist structures of government and the military. She is far too public and well known a figure for the current dictator to arrest and kill her, and she can be a continual reminder of their manipulation of the 2024 presidential election. The Trump administration's assumption that Delcy Rodríguez is the correct choice to maintain some semblance of continuity in government is an odd one, since she is simply a reflection of Maduro's fanatical anti-Americanism, and a willing participant in the evil perpetrated by the communist government. Hopefully she will be kept on a very short leash as the Venezuelan people do the work to dismantle communism. But even if Rodríguez remains in power, as long as our national security interests proceed, that is up to the people of Venezuela to remedy. The real question is whether a communist dictatorship is structurally capable of functioning as an honest player on the world stage. The historical record suggests that the answer is a resounding "NO!" So communism in Venezuela will probably end if our goals are to be achieved. But that is a delightful bonus...not the end game.

There is absolutely nothing laudable about Democracy. It is a form of government that can work, but the ought never to be the goal, as democracy can be a terrible form of government. (Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.)
Good government is the goal, no matter the form.

The stupidity of trying to run a country inevitably turns the locals against the occupying power. Better to simply require what we need, no terrorist support, no narco trafficking, no bothering neighbors by threats of invasion and the critical oil money is used to benefit Venezuelans directly rather than stashed in Swiss bank accounts of fat generals, or to benefit China, Cuba, Iran, or Russia.
Machado has to win the support of Venezuelans, you can't just give it to her in order to govern without American troops on the ground.
Like Iraq would have been far better off and a lot of US troops alive and unmaimed if we simply knocked of Saddam (popular among the Iraquis) rather than try to fashion Iraq into a democracy. That fantasy directly costs blood, lives, and treasure of the US to no avail.
The only difference is Meet the New Boss, Just the Same as the Old Boss running Iraq.

The real question is whether a communist dictatorship is structurally capable of functioning as an honest player on the world stage.
The key is to take away the power of other countries (Iran, Cuba, China, Russia) to prop up the Venezuelan thugs. Trump is working on all of these, as opposed to his predecessor's attempts to conduct regime change in a vacuum.

NYC's Mamdani Says Something Completely Reckless About the Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Realism is accepting that the VP and her brother (head of the legislature) has some power in Venezuela. Her swearing in was based on the Venezuelan Supreme Court. Neither Gonzalez, oppo leader on the ticket cheated out of victory nor Machado, who did not even appear on the ballot, have any levers of power unless US troops are on the ground to protect them.
That starts the same mess that the US have done time and again. What the US is best at is preventing outsiders like Russia, China, etc. from exerting much influence to keep rotten leaders in power and a narrow focus on controlling oil revenues means that it relies on the US Navy for enforcement, not the men in camo. That oil money is how the rotten POS leaders in Venezuela kept power and if that money is no longer controlled by them, automatically less power to pay their thuggish underlings.

We cannot fix other countries. Wilson was a stupid idiot for even suggesting it with his War to End All Wars.
So like back in teh Cold War, we reward countries that toe the line (don't bother the neighbors or US citizens, don't support terrorists, don't screw with int'l trade, etc. and we won't decapitate teh regime.
Nation building was off teh table in places like Chile, Grenada, Lebanon, or Argentina.
Pointy heads think they can fix the world but only if they have the blood and treasure from teh US. We don't have the money, nor should be willing to spend the blood of troops to provide what will be ungrateful Venezuelans a government.
We can, however, with credible authority, tell Venezuelan leaders that if they make a nuisance of themselves, we won't invade but will instead personalize the accountability for those leaders and they will end up like Maduro.

Delcy Rodriguez runs the Executive and Legislative branches, and most of the official economy.
Vladimir Padrino Lopez runs the Army, and the Generals who make up the Cartel de los Soles. He tolerates Rodriguez, but does not take orders from her, and since he controls most of the guns she doesn't dare challenge him. (but he took a big fall in status when his military got their butts kicked)
Most dangerous man in Venezuela is the Interior Minister Diosdado Caballo. He runs the secret police and all the paramilitary police who control the people on a street by street level. He is seldom seen in public, since the US has already placed a $25 million bounty on his head. But he could bring the entire country into absolute chaos if he chose. Delcy has probably been chosen in the belief that she is the only one that can keep him in check.
Machado is a wonderful person, but she does not have a hope of controlling any of these three.

Not odd to me at all. It was a good move. Machado has to earn her way to a leadership position - assembling leaders ready to lead an entire country. The last thing the US wants is a full-scale civil war in Venezuela. Meanwhile, Rodriguez owns the misery index - none of the sanctions imposed on the Maduro government have been lifted. Venezuela is even now cutting back on oil exports. Constant, even increasing pressure on Rodriguez will make political change even more attractive in the country.
From what I've read, none of the sanctions imposed on Maduro have been lifted. The Venezuela misery index is all on Rodriguez. Marchado

[BTW, and I've mentioned this before here: my freshman year of college ('79-'80) at a small private liberal arts college in SoCal, my best friend was an Armenian Christian classmate and fellow athlete whose parents had escaped Iran and loved America. Following the Revolution there and the taking of American Embassy hostages, I was flabbergasted that throughout that year he was taunted and threatened by other students -- most of whom were trust fund whitebread babies simply talking tough.
It all ended when a mostly drunken literal mob confronted us on campus one evening (I took it upon myself to be his protector and bodyguard) and they were sceaming "USA! USA! USA!"

Making Venezuela safe for Democracy is how you get a nasty guerilla war from the losing side and the US gets blame for doing what has to be done for their installed leaders to win. Iraq and Afghanistan told us that. Most people in any society across the world and history will always sit on their ass and cheer the winners--that is simply the way that it is.
And in a genetic sense, that is the usual smart play. Better a live coward than a dead hero.
But the US does not have to play that game here and now. Only provide clear red lines for any regime that threatens or harms us and what will happen specifically to the leaders of such government.

Former NFL offensive lineman Matt Kalil is hauling his glamorous ex-wife, model Haley Kalil, into court for what he’s calling an “invasive” breach of his most private secrets.
The 36-year-old retired Pro Bowler, known for his stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers, claims Haley’s loose-lipped livestream comments about the size of his manhood have turned his life into a nightmare.
. . . .
With a flair for the dramatic, she described Matt’s manhood as measuring up to “two Coke cans, maybe even a third,” slamming it as “the biggest factor” in their marriage’s collapse.
To drive the point home, Haley flopped her arm on the table in a crude imitation, declaring, “Deada**… for our whole marriage, deada**,” and quipping that her life felt like a comedy because of it.

It was anecdotal, but someone that works at a twin cities airport said all the flights from Minneapolis back to Somalia or to other places are completely full of Somalies. They had never seen anything like it. And apparently one Somali was caught with $700k in gold coins trying to smuggle them out of the US.

-Leave Rodriguez in power
-Remove the entire leadership caste, and see who seizes the vacuum organically.
-Remove leadership and install someone of our own choice, and try to prop them up as best we can
-Conquer the entire place, declare it US soil, and install a military governor
The second and third almost amount to the same thing, and are basically the "Regime Change" model that has been demonstrated to not work.
The last one is only possible if America is willing to go Full Empire and not stop at just Venezuela. And you never go Full Empire because the moment the fire of expansion stalls out, the whole thing collapses.
So basically, we're left with leaving what's her nuts in power and holding a big, sharp sword over her head.

Winston Churchill comes to mind, Democracy is the worst form of government except when compared with all the others.
The major flaw in the Constitution is that political parties arose to 'fix' the separation of powers problems despite most of the Founders deploring parties (John Adams was the exception to the rule). With parties, you get the organized log rolling to overcome the difficulties in getting a law passed or some other action done. But that also introduces a temptation for the power mad, the corrupt, and the division into team Red and team Blue on process rather than results. That also leaves a large pool of people that view both parties as assholes and demotivates them to participate.
Parties enable things to get done but at the same time can and do undermine our republic.

Attended a college football game about 5 years ago and went to buy a bottle of water (yeah, it was like $5). They no longer take cash for any purposes now at any stadiums -- credit or debit cards only.
Also a decade ago was shopping around for a local dermatologist to perform a skin cancer screening. I always explain that I don't have health insurance (wifey and I, who are fortunately very healthy, refuse to participate in DeathCare ) and ask for the cash prices.
The first place I called said don't take cash -- only insurance (which is "legalized" overbilling & fraud) I LOL'd and replied "So I guess you don't want my money? Good luck with that ..." and hung-up.
Wrote a very popular Yelp review of the incident. I wonder how much other money they didn't want or get as a result ...

Wow! It's beautiful! (for certain values of beautiful). Ignite did a fantastic job on it.
I can't believe they can make such a fantastic looking disc on "Re-Animator" whereas some of the classic Hollywood movies...uh...aren't great.
Anyway, it's a demo disc to show just how good your TV can look and sound Definitely, check it out.

If you really want to take picture quality to the next level, get the OLED professionally calibrated to D65 and BT2020. Setting the screen mode to "Cinema," "Movie," or "Filmmaker" will get you 80-85% there. (Avoid "Vivid," "Sports," "Game," or anything like them.) A pro calibration will take you to 100%. Worth the money, IMO.

And is that any different than Dubya's Iraq adventure? Dems come in with Obama and allow Iran and the Shia militias to run the place to the detriment of the other minorities.
Trump is trying to walk the US back from what Jerry Pournelle called, an incompetent Empire.
If we want to be an Empire, then we have to do things like the Brits did, use the internal splits in a country--pick one minority to oppress the others, and do mass killings every now and again by superior technology if the locals revolt. Democracy never came into the picture unless, like Canada and Australia/New Zealand, they demonstrated the ability to do so while expanding the Empire. They were a competent Empire until WWI happened.
We never were because we are not ruthless enough.

The economy is shot because of socialism, the external market for petroleum is shot because of the USN, same for a fair percentage of the coke being shipped out.
Maduro had been doing the "don't worry be happy" tour to try to hold things together, Rodriguez pretty much has the secret police since that was shown to be completely false -- and Trump offers her a lifeline.
She is a power player, and wants to go out on her feet if she has to go. She is also claims to be a patriot.

Indeed, trying to create a Jeffersonian democracy, which is not in itself a particularly good system given how poorly Jefferson led, is doomed to fail, but it does not mean the attempt to evade action will be any more successful.
If you want to eliminate drug smuggling and the like from Venezuela, you need to eliminate the drug smugglers in Venezuela. That means troops or whoever committed there. If that means local rule is delayed, then local rule is delayed.
Trying to do that long distance will just ensure the worst local will win. Maduro was bad. When the head of Cartel de los Soles takes over and eliminates Machado it will be worse.

Good points. Somehow, perhaps with Coolidge, the GOP developed flacidity as its main goal for fear of doing something wrong. Coolidge, for example, saw the coming financial panic coming due to Wall Street speculation but declined to do anything about it. Ike felt winning the Cold War by sleight of hand was better than challenging and cutting back Democrat excess via the New Deal. Nixon declined to challenge JFK's fraud and failed to consolidate his winnings in Vietnam in 72 becuz Watergate. He also surrendered on the home front (EPA, affirmative action, War on Poverty, price controls, were all done under his watch). I can go on.

Au contrauire, his statement was deftly done. He voted for Kamala, and has a primarily center-left audience. He's giving his seal of approval to the legality of the shooting (which is the big thing), while offering a lame pat on the head to his the more leftist members of his audience. The key is the word is out that the shooting is legally justified.

After WWI and WWII, the main colonizers were broke. Plus the manpower they used to keep the peace in colonies was by and large dead, wounded, or severely disinterested in fighting in combat again.
The US and USSR, for their own reasons, were also demanding the tired colonial powers to give up their colonies so that the Great Game would be competing for those newly independent colonies for trade, bases, and bennies.
US became a trading empire like Athens relying on its Navy and Air Force with enclaves around the world. The USSR became an actual empire itself with its Brezhnev doctrine that once a nation goes commie, it cannot revert. See Afghanistan and other places as examples.

I and others have long noted that most of Central and South America's governments are troubled because they are descended from Spanish Colonial Government, which gives them a 400 year tradition of rampant corruption and misrule.
Which is probably why they have a far better chance of an efficient government with a benevolent dictator than with pure democracy, which seems to always turn into a contest of everybody grab what they can get while they can get it.

Brits came to that conclusion as well. The last impeachment in the United Kingdom was that of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, in 1806, who was accused of misusing public funds but ultimately acquitted by the House of Lords.
Founders were divided at the Convention. At the time, the famous and failed impeachment of Warren Hastings over his actions in India was occurring (1786 to 1795). He was overwhelmingly acquitted.
For bonus points, the leader of Parliament trying to impeach Hastings was Edmund Burke.

1) She's facing the wall. Did the painter put her in...naked timeout?
2) It looks like an empty house? Is she mad because instead of unloading their stuff the painter wanted to paint her NOW?

She has a nightgown over her shoulders not on her body
If she was wearing it and decided to just show off her assets it would still be around her arms. But instead she picked it up and just put it over her.

Always appreciate your analyses, JTB.
First thing I noticed is that the immediate door slightly-left of center is in focus (like taken by a camera), while the right-of-center woman and rest if the background are somewhat out-of-focus.

I somehow managed to acquire the China Lung Rot in February 2020. I hadn’t had any sort of Flu in about 15 or 20 years, but I knew I was in for an unpleasant experience. Ordinarily I quit the ciggies, as a bacterial lung infection is not a pleasant upgrade.
Fever was 104 and not going away. Then, the word went out from China that former smokers who acquired the lung rot were dying all out of proportion compared to smokers.
Do I quit for the duration, or not? LOL

I drive several hours each day for work (as a courier) and carry a modern "lunch box" -- light zippered material with a slot for an ice pack, and carry water & electrolyte bottles and occasionally food.
Also a side bonus -- especially in the Arizona summers: my mobile phone frequently gets so hot (usually streaming something and/or charging in the heat) that it overheats and I an place it in my lunch box next to the ice pack to cool it back down to a reasonable and operable temperature.

Kari Lake buys Iowa condo as speculation swirls about her future. The twice-defeated Arizona candidate has long flirted with politics in her home state.
Kari Lake...recently purchased a $60,000 condo in her home community of eastern Iowa...Official property records from Scott County, Iowa, show the November sale of the two-bedroom condominium in a brick apartment building in Davenport to a family trust controlled by Lake. She graduated from a high school near the property before attending the University of Iowa.
Sen. Grassley has not closed the door on running for re-election in 2028, but would be 95 years old on Election Day if he pursued another term.
In early 2025, as Iowa’s other Republican senator, Joni Ernst, faced criticism from Trump loyalists over her support for the incoming president’s agenda, Lake planned a political visit to the greater Des Moines area. A source familiar with her political interests said at the time that Lake had not ruled out a primary challenge to Ernst, who later announced she would retire rather than seek re-election.

You can buy 3 bedroom houses for $100k in many parts of the country. And not in the ghetto or tear downs. Actual livable homes for regular people.
You have step out of the media centric narrative that you need $1M in cash for a down payment on a studio apartment. That’s true in coastal cities. Out in flyover country, houses are generally affordable to the masses.

I got to see them in the early 2000's past their peak popularity by a few years. It was about a 3000 seat venue.
They played for about an hour and a half and i knew every word to every song they played.
Pretty impressive. They were huge back Inna day.

Yep. Federal officer doing official federal law enforcement activities on the clock. State prosecutors do not have jurisdiction. Plus, qualified immunity applies--that means that the court takes into account the officer's perspective based on facts on the ground as to whether USING THE TOTALITY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, whether the officer acted reasonably. That means you do not pick and choose which instances apply and which do not. The entire extended confrontation applies from the moment that perp blocked ICE vehicles. It includes objective notice that opponents of ICE enforcement are using cars as weapons by ramming ICE vehicles, that the road was slippery, the positions of the officers (they have no requirement to retreat nor get out of the way of someone if that person had been issued an order to stop), the risk to a fellow officer (the agent who had their hand inside the vehicle attempting I think to switch it off), what was said by the driver, and the physical injury to the agent.

Not necessary, she was given a lawful order to stop and she disobeyed. She was also dragging another officer a bit trying to drive off. But, if you actually look at the officers, not her, the road was a roller rink and officers were slipping. One video shows the contact between the vehicle and the officer and he is literally skating backwards. That means lateral movement could very well lead to a fall right in front of the vehicle.
At this point, I conclude people coming on here are simply trolling and could not actually state what the rules of engagement for law enforcement if their life depended on it. Instead they cherry pick instead of like the courts must do, the whole of the event. She was a fleeing felon so Garner does not apply. The actions of the officer were reasonable as there is no duty for officers to retreat in ANY state or federal law, and she ended up dead due to her own actions threatening death and serious injury to them for a stupid illegal protest.

These protesters are not sitting in lunchrooms, registering people to vote, etc. Instead, like leftists do nowadays, they commit a long list of crimes, up to and including felony assaults on officers trying to enforce this nation's laws. Democrats, AWFLs, are not exempt from being prosecuted by some sort of warped privilege that these characters have in their minds.

She'd been chasing them around all day. She was probably high on adrenaline, especially once she got so close.
She couldn't process information well in that situation, and she panicked. Probably shouldn't have put herself into a situation she couldn't process but could lead to felonious action on her part.

Futhermore, caught him in a lie about reading Scotus cases (probably read some AI summary).
You can tell because they misapply the word reasonable to be subjective and ignore the totality of circumstances requirement to determine what is reasonable. By only focusing on the shots, they miss the fact that this dead poet took every step to increase danger to the ICE officers and defy lawful orders to stop. She had already assaulted one ICE officer by dragging him/her a short way while teh officer was trying to execute a stop and all of this occurred in roughly 25 seconds.

That's literally the opposite of what Garner says:
"The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable."
They then establish the "reasonableness framework" for when deadly force can be considered appropriate.

Because the Democrat party is now a crime syndicate, it is acting like any criminal organization and it is desperate to keep the grift going and keep stealing hundreds of billions if not trillions from taxpayers to win ultimate power. These protesters do not give one shit about illegals but rather that Team Blue stays in power forever. To that end, they adopted the commie mindset that power has its own justification beyond any existing laws or restraint. Like in 1861, they have declared themselves and the jurisdictions they control as beyond the reach of the law and that includes their hacks in black adding fuel to the fire.
The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon by their lawbreaking and now it is a question for Republicans and normies what to do about this monstrous criminal organization and its footsoldiers.

I think they have stopped using 40 S&W and 357 Sig as general issue but do not know if they still allow some agents to carry those under grandfathering rules.

If fearing the worst, get an AR pistol for travel as a 223 penetrates car bodies with ease and you have the mag capacity. In most states, it is illegal to carry a loaded long gun (poaching is the reason), but an AR pistol is not covered. Do be aware that some unfree states might need following the federal FOPA laws to pass--locked container, no mag or bullet in chamber, passing through, etc.
NY State and city and NJ are particularly unfriendly to passage under FOPA .

The Morning Report — 1/8/26
It's time for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.Considering that this is a "Smart Military Blog ™" and that many of you are smart military people and/or just smart people, You know full well what he is referring to, but for the sake of clarity, this is what it states:
The Insurrection Act is a U.S. federal law passed in 1807 that originally authorized the president of the United States to deploy “such part of the land or naval force of the United States” that the president deems necessary to suppress an insurrection or to enable the local enforcement of federal or state laws. The act thereby expanded the president’s existing authority—under the Militia Acts of 1792 and 1795—to employ state militias to repel invasions or to enforce federal laws. The original text of the Insurrection Act is: individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.Psaki-Psircling back to the chutzpocrisy of the Left, considering what happened at the Capitol 5 years ago this past Tuesday, imagine the nightmare scenario if God-forbid Hillary Clinton had been President. There is no doubt that Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland would've been two among dozens or scores of Americans whose bodies would've been stacked like cordwood, and the Republican lawmakers and others rounded up and arrested for fomenting insurrection. That said, President Trump would be completely justified in his invocation of that act. And now given the fact that the pederast criminal governor Walz is contemplating calling up the National Guard to essentially do what that now ventilated asshole in the car attempted to do and that is form a skirmish line to open fire on ICE agents to stop them from doing their sworn duty. I think at some point, and very soon, President Trump is going to have to go before the American people to address this very dangerous and explosive situation before things get out of hand if indeed we've already blown past that warning sign. What happened is not the first incident of this kind as attacks on ICE and Police have been through the roof this past year. What I would like to see is the President hold a nationally televised ceremony to to award the Ice agents who took this terrorist down some sort of medal of valor. Hopefully before the left turns the ventilated terrorist into the next George Floyd/Horst Wessel. That and declare total war on all organized and individual acts of anti-law enforcement insurrectionists. And as Ace suggested if the insurrection act is invoked. It's high time to decapitate the head of the snake — The Democrat National Committee and anyone who publicly foments, and approves of any assault on any law enforcement officer, national or local. It's terrorism straight up. It must be crushed. Whatever dangers there may be politically in the near or long term, the danger to our civil society is real and it is mortal Doing nothing will be one of the final signposts on the road to America's extinction as it was founded. This madness ends now, or ultimately it ends us.
The Insurrection Proclamation: Trump issued it eight months ago. Governors called it an immigration order.Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts’ miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement.
It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply.
Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority.
Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable.

In both cases, there were clear and obvious engineering issues that said both the Apollo capsule and the space shuttle were not ready to fly, but the pressure of schedule convinced managers at NASA to look the other way, to place those scheduling concerns above fundamental engineering principles. In both cases, people died when the engineering issues were ignored.

The Insurrection Act is 10 USC Sec 331-335.
331 is the "voluntary" section, where the governor requests federal troops.
332 and 333 are the involuntary ones, where the president can act on his own.

(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection;

I think here unlawful combination just sort of means conspiracy, in the sense that multiple actors are "combining forces" agin' the lawful authority. In anti-trust law, I see it has a specific meaning of two or more parties conspiring to restrict trade, create a monopoly, or similar.

The upshot being it doesn't matter if the people causing problems are organized or disorganized, officially or unofficially. Whoever is causing the problem, the President is allowed to use the military to go stop the problem.
It's interesting that the Constitution really only seems to get expansive in its definitions like this when it's talking about handling abuses of power. If you want to act like you're outside the law, then you get treated like an Outlaw.

Note the difference in wording between 332 and 333. In the former, it's the President "may". In 333 it is the president "shall".
And also note that 333 mentions the laws of the State -- ie state law. If the authorities of state are incapable or refusing to enforce their own state laws, those that protect some right in the Constitution (like life or property, or trial by jury and all that), then the president *shall* act to restore order.

In the first hours after this happened, my ICE agent sibling said the guy shouldn't have fired that shot based on whatever scant info was out there. He's since seen all the footage available, from different angles, and has changed his view 100%.

Regarding the ICE shooting in MN, even as I read the comments here on Ace’s post yesterday afternoon it became clear to me: we’re living in an age where truth really doesn’t exist. What I mean is this: Everyone watched exactly the same videos of the shooting… we all say the same things with our eyeballs. And yet from that sensory input even here you had some saying “that was an iffy shooting” while others said “she was trying to run him down”…. Of course the retards on the left (redundant) howled “murder”…. People see what they want to see; what their preconceived notions conditioned them to see
What did I see? A lady who FA and FO…. Impeding law enforcement, ignoring their orders, then speeding away (right in the direction of an officer no less!) is insanely stupid at best. FAFO

Nobody wants an active conflict with federal agents. But it's better than living under Trump's fucking boot and letting our neighbors disappear one after another.
The Minnesota NG would be under the authority of Gov. Walz this time. The Commanding officers have made clear they support their people (us). This isnt the Floyd protests-this is something more. This is Democracy and the Republic on the line.
THIS IS WHAT THE SECOND AMMENDMENT IS FOR. THE RIGHT TO HAVE A WELL REGULATED MILITIA TO DEFEND THE PEOPLE OF A FREE STATE. Not hoarding weapons in the homes of private citizens to be used against innocent school children or their neighbors in a road rage dispute. The fucking national guard to protect the people.
We have have entered the Dark Walz era, where he isn’t afraid and pussyfooting around due to the upcoming election. He is just (rightfully) seething pissed.

I'm still waiting for more news about the shooting in SLC last night at an LDS church, during a viewing for someone that died. At least two gunned down. Dead and six injured. Sounds like it took pace in the parking lot. Everyone with cars parked near the shooting couldn't access their cars, as it was in a now active crime scene.
I don't think it was a religious hate crime, it sounds like it might have been someone connected to the deceased or their family. But the killer is still on the loose.
Posted by: LizLem at January 08, 2026 07:55 AM (gWBY1)
But, consider two things.
First, without Congress to impose proper sanctions (unseating the Congresscritters from Minnesota, for example), Trump won't have as much (constitutional) control as might be needed.
Second, he will be going exactly where the Dems have said he would go for almost 10 years. He will be taking up ultimate executive power to crush a state. While he might be right (morally and legally) he will still be stepping into the role of "authoritarian."
We will have to deal with those two things if we want to right the ship of state.

Yes, and they tracked gifted children for further enhancement. There’s no shame in working a mechanic’s job or “blue collar”. Johnny Von Neumann was recognized early on, as very gifted in Math, as a child. His teacher said “Hey, your kid is something else, let’s send him to schools that will advance his skills better than I can.
No telling what modern schools do to kids like this today, but we have plenty of examples. He would likely be drugged and mind-fvcked.

Notice the first thing the saboteurs go after are the “talented and gifted” programs. The very type of programs that produced a Johnny Von Neumann.
Excellence should be encouraged. Attention to detail. Punctuality. A broad based learning, rote memorization of facts, figures, History. Discipline. Etc.
All of those things are now excoriated as “White Supremacy”.

"California has spent $24 billion in the last five years on homelessness. No one can account for where that money really went."
"So the first thing I did was set up that task force, and all we did was follow the money. We already charged millions of dollars in fraud. I can tell you more charges are coming. Probably as soon as this month."

because it WAS her fault
she's the nuttier one. (the kids are "Good's" from her previous marriage. her ex husband died and "Good" went off with this chick)
she's the one who said "I'll pick up the kids, YOU lead the blockade today honey" - knowing it was dangerous and her "partner" was not a very well trained Antifa.
she also has been charged with child abuse towards "Good's" child, burning with her cigarette
these are desperate, messed-up females. I have more to say on that topic, maybe later. it's about how I was wrong way back when I said "I know these people, they're a mess, they will be ineffective."
unfortunately with enough support from the Leftist machine, they are in fact "effective" at mayhem and even running towns and cities (into the ground).

Not just that Trump has carefully laid a trap for the left.
But also, the suggestion that all of the fed, state and local (including the federal judges) "resistance" is in service to cartel cash.
If they riot today, impede a single ICE raid, the trap is fully closed.
Trump will have every basis to invoke the Insurrection Act, every predicate satisfied.
And legal review by the federal courts is barred.

I would honestly be surprised if Walz personally got a cut of the lucre. Sure, there were the donations to his campaign, but he seems to be rather poor himself.
He seems to just be a true believer who wanted to "do good" by facilitating massive fraud for people who showed up in our country 3 days ago.

Without Lincoln's call for 70,000 troops to march on South Carolina, South Carolina would have probably remained alone in its rebellion against the federal government.
With a standing army today, there's no need to call new troops. You just send in the existing army to put down the 8,000 national guard troops Walz commands (who probably won't follow his orders), and you make an example of the civilian government that led the call.

He doesn't address the fact that the second and third shot were through the side window. Or that the wheels had turned before the first shot was fired. He makes a small concession to potential prosecution arguments right at the end, but overall no real attempt to steelman his argument.
The problem for our side is this is not the "obvious justified killing" everyone is claiming it to be. It may be legally justifiable in front of 7/10 juries, but that's not what is going to win the day in the court of public opinion.

She played the Death Card.
She put that on the table, when she refused to shut off and exit the vehicle as ordered.
The clunk of the transmission into "drive" was when she slapped that Death Card on the table.
She chose to risk the death of the officers.
But she also chose to risk her own death.
All other analysis is irrelevant:
When you refuse to comply with the order of an officer of the law--even an unlawful one*--you are playing the Death Card.
Every law, every single law, is, when pushed far enough, subject to enforcement by death.
Refuse to stop for the sirens and lights when you run a stop sign? That cop can choose to shoot you dead.

When she put the car into reverse, but still away from the officers - here see increases her crime to the more serious resisting arrested, but still if she stops at this point she's like spending some time in a court house and getting a suspended sentence

Yes, she was dumb and brainwashed.

However, she was part of a *team* yesterday, playing her role of blocking ICE while others filmed (and did Lord knows what else). This coordinated activity to block and entrap ICE has been happening for months.

This is false as a matter of law. Tennessee vs Garner (SCOTUS) established precisely the opposite:
"The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable."
It's constitutionally unreasonable under the fourth amendment because it's unlawful seizure of your life. Sounds quaint but it makes sense when you think about it.
The case then goes on to outline when it would be "reasonable" to use deadly force. Needless to say "refus[ing] to stop for the sirens and lights when you run a stop sign" on its own is not one of them. It's very similar to the case that triggered the original SCOTUS decision: felon escaping over a fence.

Worse, she was, according to another 'protestor' the lead in a caravan that was stalking ICE during the day. Compounding that with interfering with their operations, and then refusing lawful orders to get out of her SUV, she stacked a number of misdemeanors in pursuit of a political goal. They had every reason to arrest her.

Spoken by someone who has never been in a hot situation where someone is trying to kill you. Adrenaline, basic survival instinct, etc.
Or by anyone who knows anything at all about defensive shooting.
You don't stop to admire the handiwork and grouping after a shot or two. It isn't explosions or large blood splatter like shooting zombies in a video game. Watch some of those videos from body cams and the perps absorb shots like a sponge.
There are also many cases where trained officers were in a shootout and point blank range and somehow every shot missed the intended target.
Shoot until threat is gone.

I think it's the opposite. It's politically asinine to concede that. It may be morally or ethically smarter, if we lived in a world where morals and ethics mattered. But we have to win politically first to have any hope of returning to a polity where we have the luxury of considering morals and ethics, and approaching events rationally.
Right now, the only ethically valid stance is, Win. Every issue belched up by events is a battlefield in our new Total Culture War.

She had no right to do what she was doing. When the cops, federal or not, go to arrest you - whatever those orders are, you have to comply. You don’t have to like it.
“Get out of the car”. She refused. Then she decided to flee the scene. That’s not how this works.
Then she appeared to be willing to run someone over in this process. It is a split second decision. Cops are on a hair trigger, they have been for many years now.
Only a retard would provoke them in a life or death situation. It is possibe the “wife” was hoping for just a situation? A variant on the “Ghetto Lottery”. Stranger things have happened. Jus Sayin’

The reason I believe it was borderline is I’ve seen dozens of of videos of similar situations where the law enforcement person just side stepped the slow moving vehicle. The reason I think you can argue it’s justified in this situation is because of the officer’s mindset where he did think he and other officers were in danger because of the multiple similar situations where ICE officers were injured and threats to run over ICE personnel.

- The GMK Evo T2 is a mini PC with the also newly announced Intel Core Ultra X9 388H and up to 128GB of RAM. (Liliputing)
The memory is soldered in, whatever configuration you choose, because that is the only option with the 388H. It used LPDDR5X-9600 RAM, so the bandwidth is 50% higher than you can get from conventional SODIMMs - and the graphics performance is 50% higher than previous Intel models.
Expect this one to be expensive though.

Meaning that it sticks five fake frames between each two rendered frames, rather than just three. Making graphics buttery smooth, and game responsiveness a tar pit full of dead dinosaurs.

Shah, Jr. has called for all protestors to chant the exact same slogan all over the country at 8PM today local time (UTC + 03:30, EST + 08:30).
He also said the mullahs are cutting the internet, and do not be dissuaded by that.

Morning, Pooksygirl,
Well, aside from the detail that I haven't seen anybody here (let alone a white man) wearing a three-piece suit and fedora in decades, it does look like they filmed it in the French Quarter. The white building at the far end behind the action suggests that they were shooting on one of the two one-block-long streets in the Quarter. The streets don't dead-end, but they run for one block only.
The trumpet player does look like Louis Armstrong, and Scatman John calls him "Satch" (short for "Satchmo") and "Louis." But I have no idea what or where the night shots are supposed to be. What are "Fried Ergs"?
I's fun and energetic, anyway.

In the shop was a very nice men wearing a large cross. It had some words around the cross. I didn't ask him what they were, ( maybe John 3:16) but I did thank him for his witness.
So everyday if we ask I do believe God will show us something of himself/ his love, his creatively in nature, his presence, his work through other people. I am grateful to God for that.
What is a beautiful part of nature where you live?

There should be no real motivator to get violent with a cop who's arresting you, because you'll simply have your day in court and everything will be fine. If the courts are going to railroad you anyway just to make a buck and flex their power, suddenly it's a problem. (And if you are just a straight up criminal trying to get away with something by merking a cop, then you get your ass shot and the world is a better place, which is a victory condition.)
If you're a cop, there should be no real motivator to shake down people who aren't doing anything wrong, because if you do bring in innocent people, and create friction in the community, the DA and the chief of police ought to be firing you, and possibly fining you for it too if it's egregious enough.
This is all super Pollyanna/Pangloss kind of stuff. But fanciful or not, i have to figure it's at least the Platonic Ideal for the foundations of a not effed up society. Part of the "trust" in "high trust society".

Kudos to Bose. INMSHO, they're overpriced and overhyped, slightly above middlin' quality gear, but this, this they done good.
The reflex, of course, is to demand that "the government" do something. Write regs, create commissions etc. No, what we need is a couple of class action suits with multi-million payouts against the likes of John Deere.

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.Thank you for those who participated. The challenge had two parts - financial data and events. The financial predictions attracted 19 participants. The event predictions attracted 37 participants. Financial metrics: cost of gasoline, S&P 500, dollar to Euro exchange rate, 2x4 lumber, Ford F-150 MSRP, Bitcoin, share price of Smith & Wesson, Home Depot and Tesla. The winner of the financial metrics challenge is: Publius Redux. Blaster was a very close second place and Pennsyltucky was close behind in third. The rest of the rankings:
Dave H
Grateful
Anonymous Rogue in Kalifornistan (ARiK)
Gouverneur Morris

no one of any consequence
Luca I
Mikeski
PaleRider

The clear winner of the event prediction challenge is PaleRider who guessed ALL ten correctly. Impressive. Nobody else was close. Several guessed seven but nobody guessed eight or nine.

Dublin's Sean O'Casey Bridge, which has been unable to open to shipping for the past four years, was finally re-opened in the past few weeks after experts created a new remote control for the structure. Spanning the Liffey between the IFSC and City Quay, it's designed to swing apart to allow sail-craft upriver as far as the Talbot Memorial Bridge. The design includes two 44-metre-long arms, capable of swinging open when required. That operation is controlled by a hand-held remote device - that device went missing some years ago, meaning openings were no longer possible. Speaking to this website, Financial Advisor to the Authority John Crawley confirmed that it was once again possible to open the structure to shipping, following an engineering review. A lack of funding meant the process couldn't happen until recently, he said. As part of the overhaul, work has been carried out on the bridge itself, and contractors were tasked with "reprogramming an opening device," Crawley said. "Its not like a Sky box remote control. You have to make sure that it's a secure system, so there are layers of security." An Irish-based firm carried out the reprogramming, and that aspect of the work cost around €1,800, Crawley said.

If we postpone Civil War 2, and the walls come down after you're gone, do you really trust the next generation to defend the Republic from the Marxists?

One of the biggest problems in the modern world is... THE ALGORITHM.
The MSM, of course, has long said what the left wants it to say but social media... social media tries to give you content which will keep you engaged. So, particularly if you're on the left, it also tells you what you already think. And it never tells you anything else.
It's not that his advisors are insane. It's that, literally, everything they see, or hear, anywhere, tells them that EVERYONE supports them and that they're totally right.
Now, an intelligent person would question that, if for no other reason than the 2024 election results. But, while they may be sane, they're also stupid.

That's not actually always true. It is known that view time and engagement goes up if you show people things they violently disagree with because it triggers the "someone is wrong on the Internet" reflex everyone has. X's algorithm definitely works that way if you switch from "Following" to "For You", although Elon says they're trying to make it l less contentious.

I need one. HDMI can carry control signals. So the remote for the Apple TV (and presumably other devices) will also turn on the television it is attached to and the stereo the television is attached to (or possibly the other way around, I set it up several years ago). That remote also controls volume.
Since I watch television through a DVR, which uses an app on the Apple TV box, the one remote also controls changing channels.

Cuba will take about 2 months to fall. Unknown how messy it will be. The remnants of Maduro’s regime will give up any opposition to the US after that, Cuba’s fall will suck the spirit out of them.
Under that pressure Columbias president should be replaced by the end of the year, and the narco traffic in the gulf should be markedly reduced.
A consequence of Iran’s fall is the life will be sucked out of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi. They may still exist but will have far less power and influence.

Canadian liberals, for example, are not actually worried that a Delta Force team will rappel down from an MH-47G Chinook Special Operations Helicopter to blackbag Prime Minister Mark Carney from 24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, K1M 1M4, and not only because the inadequate security of the traditional prime minister’s domicile has motivated Carney to instead take up residence at Rideau Cottage, 1 Sussex Drive, where he is usually home by 9 pm with his wife Diana. The concern is much more general: that the beleaguered Canadian people, along with those of the rest of the rotting West, will look at the remarkable results obtained by regime decapitation in the United States, and start getting ideas.

You know how, if you see an asteroid pointed at earth, and you want to send nukes to change its trajectory, the further out you hit it, the less force it takes to change its course.
The Angels, natural super mathematicians that they are (they're the ones who guesstimate the number of hairs on your head), would know exactly how far back you have to intervene to change the course of events.
So, for example, they only need to tilt Donald Trump's head ever so slightly so the bullet only nicks his ear… and the entire subsequent course of human events we're seeing now results.
Pretty nifty.

And somebody somewhere will pop up out of nowhere and claim he was "handsy" when he 16-years old and took them to the movies. But he's out there nonetheless, to give the Rs another vote they've done little to nothing to deserve. The Republicans would have 100 seats in the house and 30 in the Senate if it weren't for President Trump. My brother-in-law is loosely affiliated with the state Republican party.

The era that began in Iran in 1979 has ended, and the ‘Counter-Revolution’ began in 2026! Despite Khamenei's declaration of ‘war,’ the nation of 92 million people is not leaving the streets. From Tehran to Tabriz, police stations are falling, women are burning their mandatory veils, and most importantly, signals of a coup are emerging from within the Iranian Army, under the banner of ‘Lion and Sun.’
In this video, we analyse how the theocratic regime collapsed after 47 years and the footsteps of the Shah:

"Lock and load" is the command given to shooters on a firing range. At the command, the shooter inserts a magazine into the firearm until it locks into place, and then operates the action, loading a cartridge into the firearm.

Zelensky is a non-factor, Trump basically told Putin you can keep what the territory you've taken, but you can't take any more and basically don't think about pushing your luck in Ukraine.

IF you pretended not to know how she is, and hired her to run the local YMCA, you'd want to give her time to adapt to her new role. I bet you dollars to donuts that Cea, at the end of a month long evaluation, would be found "deficient" in her performance. She's clearly too *stupid* and *immature* to run the YMCA in Pampa, TX, or in Salina, KS.
But don't worry. She's not in charge of either of those places.

U.S. COMMANDOS JUST HIT IRAN’S MISSILE SUPPLY LINE — AT SEA.
In a rare high-seas raid, U.S. special operations forces boarded a cargo ship in the Indian Ocean and seized $5 MILLION worth of Chinese-origin missile components headed for Iran.
The operation happened off Sri Lanka, under cover of darkness.
The cargo was confiscated and destroyed on site.
No arrests. No injuries. The ship was released.
This wasn’t symbolic.
It was a direct strike on Iran’s rearmament pipeline — and a warning to suppliers enabling it.
Sanctions aren’t just paperwork anymore.
They’re being enforced with boarding teams

In November 2025, U.S. forces boarded the vessel several hundred miles off the coast of Sri Lanka. The ship, traveling from China to Iran, was carrying dual-use items*—materials that have both civilian and military applications. The specific cargo included components that could support Iran's conventional weapons program. Following the boarding, the U.S. forces destroyed the seized cargo but allowed the ship to proceed on its journey.
*Seized Cargo: Components potentially linked to Iran’s missile program.

The Shah's job was indeed to keep the commies at bay and prevent the Soviets from getting at the oil fields. With the "Nixon Doctrine" they called it at the time, he was pretty much given a free hand, and he got pretty brutal.
The history of this going back to the Brits and the oil is interesting, and lot of lesson to be learned there about what mistakes not to make again if we get Shah, Jr in there.

See the 1953 coup in Iran. That was CIA and MI6, approved by Ike and Churchill. The Shah was technically monarch, but the PM had the power. Shah didn't have much actual power. The PM nationalized the oil industry, which pissed the Brits off.
The coup put the Shah in real power.
The Shah's father came to power years before, ousting some other dynasty, with the Brits involved. Now, right before WWII, the father starting getting friendly with the Germans. He was trying to play all the great powers against each other for his own advantages.
Brits and Soviets invaded Iran in 1941 to protect the oil and supply lines, and removed the Shah's father from power, and put the son, who became The Shah as we think of it in power as the monarch.

If you do that, keep real good records.
The CA Franchise Tax Board came after me for "unpaid income taxes" - they actually got a copy of my 1040, and helpfully calculated my "tax" and penalties - 10 years after I left the state. It was an obvious clerical error at corporate (CA domiciled) about tax data for my division (OR domiciled) that 30 seconds of thought would have shown, but it took three letters from me -last if which was, essentially, fuck off, sue me - and two from corporate accounting to get them to go away.
CA is going to be desperate for revenue, and you'd look like an easy target.

In the video I saw, the officer who shot was in front of the car, and she drove at him. That's when he drew and fired through the windshield, then she turned a little to the right, and he got off two more rounds through the open side window.

In the video I viewed, ICE guy appeared from front vehicle as vehicle accelerated in a right turn. That puts ICE guy, the presumptive shooter, in front of an accelerating vehicle. Whether she saw ICE guy or not, that's on her. He gets benefit of doubt.

It's hard to see from some angles of the video. There was an agent right on the side, ordering her out of the car. Another agent ran up in front, and she clearly drove the car toward him. He's the one who fired.

I saw a perfect vid. ace or someone posted it here.
He reduced it to slo-mo and I cut that speed in half.
The cop was quick but facts: She had shifted into a forward gear, the wheels were pointed directly at the shooter cop and were turning.
Justified self defense.
Refusing to halt aforehand is legally enough.
Knocking the other cop with the vehicle, no matter how slight, is enough.
This is a wakeup call to the sillies. Playtime is over.

Also see the "White Revolution" started by the Shah in the early '60s. That was a big modernization program to bring Iran into the 20th Century. That pissed of a lot people, including the Islamic nutjobs, Khomeini being the main one.
Before that there was sort of feudal like system in the country. Piss poor peasant serfs and all that. Shah did away with that, and that pissed others off. But it really pissed off the mullahs.
And then the Rooskies were trying to infiltrate.

Muslim goes to Iran and is disappointed to find that most people aren’t actually Muslim.

Remember that most Iranians DO NOT SUPPORT ISLAM.
They are occupied by terrorists and trying to be free from this barbaric ideology.

In hindsight, the Shah should've just executed Khomeini back in the '60s when he had the chance rather than exiling him. They figured the didn't want to make a big martyr out of him, but in hindsight, it wouldn't have made it any worse.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at January 08, 2026 02:29 AM (w6EFb)
Another funny one. In the '70s, Khomeini was holed up in Iraq. A young Saddam Hussein, the vice president I think, offered to whack Khomeini for the Shah. I'll kill him for you, just say the word.
The Shah again turned it down.

Nope. It is not. Ironically, you have a property right to something you already have but not the right to acquire future property. Bill of Rights is a negative check, not a grant of positive rights.
Zoning cases are classic examples where a seller does not have the right to demand changing of zoning so the property would bring a higher price from buyers. Not a taking.

Intent is sound, might be hard to accomplish. Perhaps a Federal "absentee owner" tax on real property? If an entity owns a piece of habitable residential property, and does not occupy it personally, or place family in it, they are assessed a tax of 0.5% of market value per year. Tax rate to rise commensurate with the number of properties owned.

ICE has arrested several people for obstruction (one was just convicted in LA) the last several months. They generally avoid/outmaneuver them, but eventually get fed up and arrest them.
The dead poet was apparently one of these types.
You can see one agent approaching her open window, presumably telling her to exit the vehicle (this was said by somebody, maybe Kristi herself). This was going to be another obstruction arrest.

My local government already has different property tax rates for different classes. Owner-occupied dwellings get an exemption of 40% off the assessed value. There are others (most notably, senior citizens and disabled veterans pay half the tax as whippersnappers.... thanks, kids!)

The Russkis charged them with piracy, which, guess what kids, is still a capital crime. Then they left them in a nasty Russian jail for several months, before springing them and PNG'ing them out of the country.

Danish defense ministry reportedly confirms that Denmark will "shoot first, ask questions later" if US invades Greenland.
Leaving aside how absurd it is for these idiots (sadly, most of Europe) to take the bellicose talk on Greenland seriously, and not as haggling behavior, it is beyond hilarious.
First of all of course, the US already has bases in Greenland. But the idea that Denmark (or any NATO member, or all of them together) could/would resist any US military operation, anywhere, LOL.
I prefer the early 80s Denmark where an opposition politician said if his party were in power he would close the defense ministry and replace it with an answering machine that said "we surrender, in Russian".

The president (Pezeshkian) has been making conciliatory noises, acknowledging regime failures on the economy. Impossible to know but likely just a good cop/bad cop routine, with Khamenei (who has only been trash-talking) and the Guard playing the bad cop (and actual authority) part. The regime has done versions of this in the past in response to widespread protests.

BREAKING: The wife of Renee Nicole Good—the 37-year-old Minneapolis shooting victim who attempted to run over an ICE officer—appears to have been outside the vehicle filming as her wife blocked ICE vehicles.
She is seen wearing a flannel shirt, walking around the vehicle and recording ICE officers.
She later runs back to the vehicle to check on Renee.
Afterward, she tells a nearby man, “That’s my wife.”
When he asks if she knows any of her wife’s relatives she could call, she responds, “We're new here. I don't have people... I can’t even breathe right now.”
Why was she outside the vehicle filming while her wife was blocking ICE officers?
Terrible.

Nothing like the height of the Cold War, though.
However, if they're anything like the dozens of mothballed bases here in Alaska, the Air Force has kept the runways in perfect repair.
The thing is, if you've got a good runway and modern equipment, you can spin up a full-blown base pretty damned quick.

To Russians who consume only the pathetic official media, this will perhaps be similar to how many Japanese felt in June '44 - "we're winning, our fighting spirit cannot be matched by the foreign devils .... oh, and BTW, we just lost the Marianas".
Though many russkis won't care, and the loss of one more "ally" of some convenience won't change much.

Tom Homan just dropped one of the most disturbing updates yet on what happened to children smuggled into the U.S. under the last administration.
According to Homan, nearly half a million children were brought into the country, separated from families, and released to sponsors who were not properly vetted. Of those, the government lost track of roughly 300,000 kids.
And for years — no one was even looking.
That changed under Donald Trump.
Homan says that since January, a joint operation involving ICE, FBI, and Department of Health and Human Services has already located over 129,000 of these children.
Let that sink in.
129,000 kids who were essentially written off before.
And what they’re finding is horrific.
Homan says many children were:
released to fake or unverified addresses
assigned to “sponsors” holding up to 16 kids at once
sent to parking lots, hotels, or addresses where they never lived
forced into labor
kept out of school
sexually abused or trafficked
living in what he described as “atrocious” conditions
Some, he confirmed, have already died.
(Cont)
Posted by: rickb223 at January 07, 2026 09:08 PM (KMPdZ)
Homan says one of President Trump’s first phone calls after taking office made this a top priority:
“I want you to create a secure border.
I want you to oversee a massive deportation operation.
And I want you to find these kids.”
Some of the children have now aged out — over 18 — but Homan says that does not end the search, because adults can still be victims of forced labor and sex trafficking.

Aha. Earlier this week there was a huge fire at a major Iranian dairy products factory up north near the Caspian. Now, locals are being evacuated. Ammonia. Not ice cream.
Turns out Iran has been building missile production infrastructure up there (some of it was hit in June). Chy-nah provides a key component for rocket fuel (perchlorate). Some may recall the big fire down in Bandar Abbas earlier last year (perchlorate from Chy-nah, most likely).

Thule AFB is still operational, and it is extensive, although a lot of it has been mothballed. I think they call it an airfield now instead of an air base, but it is all still there. USACE takes care of anything that has to come out of mothballs, and can do so right quick. It's all Air Force, but some of it will be Space Force, just because.

Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Special Session to Redistrict Florida
Tim Walz Activates National Guard -- Hinting He'll Use It to Fight FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
This is still my guy. And he doesn't play footsie with Nazis just to keep Tucker Carlson on his side.
This is a small surprise, because while DeSantis talked about doing this, he mostly talked about doing this after the Supreme Court rendered judgment on the Democrat-fabricated "rule" that legislative districts must be drawn to elect as many minorities as mathematically possible. The Supreme Court hasn't ruled on that yet, but DeSantis is going ahead with the redistricting plan.lorida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday that he will convene a special legislative session for redistricting. "Today, I announced that I will be convening a Special Session of the Legislature focused on redistricting to ensure that Florida's congressional maps accurately reflect the population of our state," he posted on X. "Every Florida resident deserves to be represented fairly and constitutionally. This Special Session will take place after the regular legislative session, which will allow the Legislature to first focus on the pressing issues facing Floridians before devoting its full attention to congressional redistricting in April."Meanwhile, potty-mouthed pork-chop Jasmine Ratchet erupted into a, get this, profane tirade over the Supreme Court refusing to step in and save her own racially-contrived district.
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett erupted into a profanity-laced tirade this week after the Supreme Court declined to step in and block Texas's newly drawn congressional maps, a ruling that clears the way for Republicans to gain as many as five additional House seats in 2026. In a video posted to her YouTube channel, Crockett blasted the Court, President Trump, and GOP-controlled state governments, accusing them of "rigging the system" ahead of the midterms. "Obviously, Trump is still doing his bidding with these state Houses and state Senates and governors' mansions to try to rig the system," she said, before praising states she claims are resisting Republicans. "Kudos to Indiana for saying f*** you. Kudos to California for saying we're going to fight back." Crockett then aimed her anger directly at the justices, exclaiming, "And f*** you to the Supreme Court for what they did."She then ate the microphone and took a selfie with her backfat.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) says “f*** you” to the Supreme Court for basically ending her political career by allowing Texas redistricting to go forward.

Talerico says that it would have been just fine if Mary would have aborted Jesus, because his god loves abortion. Yep.

1) Does invoking the Insurrection Act permit the military to arrest the judges as well as the local elected officials?
2) Does it permit them to be tried by a military tribunal?
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
=======
Yes. If the courts in an insurrection area are no longer in session due to unrest, that means martial law can be invoked with all trials as military tribunals.
But before that, it is clear, trying to interfere with federal law enforcement of a delegated national power in the Constitution, means Gov. Timmy the Pedo is the new Orval Faubus. And Ike nationalized the Arkansas National Guard specifically to keep Orval from using them any further. They were federalized for about one year.
FIL actually guarded students at LR Central and he was from outside the LR area. They used the 101st Airborne outside and federalized Nat. Guard troops inside.

Like the stupid woman in the car, doubling down with the Feds is never a smart idea. Timmy is panicking because it is likely that he is going to be indicted out of the fraud. Ellison may be too as there is a 2021 recording last week that has Ellison commenting in a meeting with Somalis where they specifically raised a quid pro quo on grants in return for campaign funding. Ellison indicated agreement.

I think Walz is making an effort to not normalize shooting civilians because Trump and Miller have a fever dream. I hope all of the governors stand up to him. It is just a matter of time. Gauge the spine of your Governor, MAGA. Ask more of them.
The Minneapolis police should have done that already. The deportation will occur after they have served their sentences in Minnesota state prison.
The National Guard will gladly harm protesters alongside the rest of the goons when it comes down to it. They aren't your friends either.
The people saying the ice agent acted in self defense are the same people who truly believe Ashli Babbitt was murdered for doing no wrong
Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She did not deserve to be murdered by ICE. Say her name.
Ice cannot be allowed to continue. People across the country need to stand up to ICE. Block them. Fight them. And stand up to company’s like “Hilton” who enable and sponsor them.

I have gotten nothing done today due to spying on these wackos. I was going to take the 1000 ornaments off the tree and dance to rock and roll. Instead I am watching MN.
I never much thought about MN in the past. A state I'd never been to nor knew anybody from there. Thought nice people from Scandinavia ancestry who ate cheese with Wisconsin. And ice fished. I'd say ICE Fishing's name will now be changed? Hole fishing? Throw a Somolian in a hole sport deport?
Regardless, tomorrow is another day and tonight I enjoy our tree one more night. It is my rules and I decided who cares if I break them inside my own livingroom? My husband did take down the wreaths and lit garlands off the porch, so he made an effort that we don't look like "those people." We have neighbors who leave up their lit snowflakes all winter and I am all for it.
I think Walz is on Xanax as he looked subdued for him vs his usual tantrum. In all honesty I only watched 2 seconds, so maybe he outbursted later.

Law is clear dating back to the Fugitive Slave Laws, states cannot interfere or impede federal law enforcement. After the Civil War, even more power has been taken from states including the Dick Act (really of 1903) and the Militia Act of 1908.
Then you have the precedent of Orval Faubus trying to stop a federal court order to integrate Little Rock Central High School by using the guard. Ike federalized the whole lot to keep Faubus from messing with them. He also sent the 101 Airborne down to manage periphery security.

The National Guard oath of enlistment is longer than the regular services because it includes both the state and federal authorities, but explicit in the law organizing the National Guard is federal supremecy.
Back in the 1980s, National Guard troops were being sent to Central America for training, and leftist governors tried to stop it, filed suit and lost. For Title 32 training, there is boilerplate about "with the consent of the governor" but it isn't needed for Title 10, which is federal duty.
Trump can just order them placed under Title 10 authority and that's it. Game over.

Also, and beside the point, her fake fingernails are hideous. As are her eyebrows. She got Sharpie eyebrow lessons from Pelousi, I reckon.
It is currently 36 degrees in Minneapolis with poor air quality (due to dust and dander...which makes sense arising from the rioters). Will their numbers increase as the temps go lower? Will they defy the usual June Riot Month rulez for agitators? Where are the Somoli rioters...one would think self-deporting to Canada.

True. From the video, he looked pretty calm and collected as he was legitimately in fear of a deadly force threat he neutralized. It doesn't really matter what he thought at this point...the video proves he was fully justified in his use of force per the law.
Also, Whig's analysis is pretty good, and any minor quibbles I'd add wouldn't make a substantial difference. I was originally active duty, and have served in the guard now for around 20 years, several of which were in the State Joint Operation Center dispatching troops to state emergencies and Federal requests. The only recent hiccup I'm seeing is the courts getting involved and staying Presidential call-ups to title X service. That is very unusual.

Driving a SUV with Missouri tags and many National Park stickers (I can't read the others, probably, pride stuff). Was married to a male comic I'd never heard of, and he died in 2023. She's a poet and unsure about her status. Now with a super butch "wife," who is rumored to be a "professional agigator." Whatever that is, I guess a special ed branch of feminist studies.
One rumor said HER SUV was the lead of the parade to block ICE vehicles. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, reddit, and ghey pride rioters who will get cold tonight unless they burn stuff. Walz and the cussin' mayor will probably help supply the fuel to burn down the city.

Plenty of oil on the market, it'll just cost them more.

Edward Luttwak addressed this issue a while ago, noting that by the time D-Day rolled around, the US had done multiple, massive and complex opposed invasions, learning each time, refining the technique, gear and planning.
China is going to try something far more difficult without any operational experience whatsoever. One cannot help but be skeptical of their chances at success.
More likely Dieppe than D-Day.

My sibling ICE agent brother said they're supposed to get out of the way in situations like this. Who knows when this agent realized she was headed right toward him, however. He also said that DHS is going pedal to the metal and overworking the agents at present. Also that the hiring blitz going on now is bringing on people who are not being properly screened for suitability for the role, and not enough time in training. He's not too thrilled at the moment.

No, modern aircraft carrier battlegroups cannot reach the Great Lakes due to size restrictions of the locks and canals, particularly the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is too small for them. But we did have aircraft carriers in the Great Lakes in WWII for pilots to practice carrier landspings without fear of surprise attacks. Carriers were smaller in those days.

Add in better missile defenses including lasers, and the uncertainties add up. Plus the whole buildup of troops would be apparent even on google earth. No Overlord Tactical Surprise on the actual invasion.
I agree with whoever said the complete and total failure of the surface-to-air defenses in VZ probably means Xi doesn't dare stick his nose out, because it means blowing up Three Gorges with no KIAs is on the menu.

My crazy brother was with me once, and I did not turn properly after picking up burgers at the window, and scraped along a wood fence.

Two Venezuela-Linked "Dark Fleet" Ships Change Their Registrations Mid-Cruise to Russian In the Belief That This Will Protect Them from Trump;
But Trump Gives No Effs and Seizes Them
Russia actually sent an attack sub to protect one of the terrorist oil smuggling ships. Plus it suddenly hoisted a Russian flag and declared itself a Russian ship. Russia was part of this, because they approved the re-flagging of the ship without any of the normal steps required.
They thought Trump would be a-scared to seize a Russian-flagged terror ship. WRONG! Oh, and then they seized another one.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Wednesday that the U.S. seized two oil tankers linked to Venezuela. "In two predawn operations today, the Coast Guard conducted back-to-back meticulously coordinated boarding of two 'ghost fleet' tanker ships--one in the North Atlantic Sea and one in international waters near the Caribbean. Both vessels--the Motor Tanker Bella I and the Motor Taker [sic] Sophia--were either last docked in Venezuela or en route to it," Noem posted on X. "Under President Trump's bold and visionary leadership, US Coast Guard tactical teams worked closely with its counterparts at the Departments of War, Department of Justice and State and used their specialized expertise to conduct these operations and conduct two safe, effective boardings within hours of each other," she continued. "One of these tankers, Motor Tanker Bella I, has been trying to evade the Coast Guard for weeks, even changing its flag and painting a new name on the hull while being pursued, in a desperate and failed attempt to escape justice. The heroic crew of the USCGC Munro pursued this vessel across the high seas and through treacherous storms--keeping diligent watch, and protecting our country with the determination and patriotism that make Americans proud. These brave men and women deserve our nation's thanks for their selfless devotion to duty." ...
The vessel was one of a number of sanctioned oil tankers operating near Venezuela that recently changed their flags to Russia.
Visegrád 24
@visegrad24 9h Russia has dispatched a submarine and several warships to escort a shadow-fleet tanker that the United States attempted to seize off the coast of Venezuela and is now pursuing in the Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal reports. The tanker Bella 1 spent more than two weeks trying to bypass the U.S. blockade on Venezuela but failed to dock and load cargo. In December, the vessel's crew repelled a U.S. attempt to board the ship and then sailed into the Atlantic Ocean. It is now being pursued in international waters by the U.S. Coast Guard. The tanker has since re-registered as Russian, been renamed Marinera, and the crew painted a Russian flag on the hull. According to U.S. sources, Russia then asked Washington to stop pursuing what it now claims is a Russian vessel. On Tuesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry said it was following the situation around the tanker "with concern." The ship is currently sailing about 300 miles south of Iceland toward the North Sea. A Russian submarine and other naval assets are moving in to support it.

Surge of Economic Pain Pushes Iranians to the Streets High inflation and a currency collapse have squeezed Iranians' budgets, challenging the country's leaders. Protesters took to the streets of the capital, Tehran, and other cities in Iran on Monday to decry surging inflation and the collapse of the national currency, which have thrown markets into chaos and punched holes in family budgets. The currency plunged to a record low this past weekend against the U.S. dollar and the annual inflation rate rose to 42.2 percent in December. Amid the turmoil, the head of Iran's central bank, Mohammad Reza Farzin, resigned on Monday, pending the president's acceptance, local news media reported. A former economy minister, Abdolnaser Hemmati, was set to replace him. The economic turmoil poses a new challenge for Iran's leaders as they seek to maintain control of their country of 92 million people while recovering from attacks on its nuclear facilities in June by Israel and the United States and a campaign of "maximum pressure" from the Trump administration aimed at securing a new agreement about Iran's nuclear program. ... Experts attribute Iran's deepening economic pain to a host of factors from poor management to policies that keep the country's economy closed. The stepped-up efforts by the Trump administration to limit Iran's oil sales to foreign countries and the war with Israel in June, during which the government tapped Iranian banks to cover its costs, have also contributed to the worsening economy.Via John Sexton, who also rounds up videos of the street protests. Below, in Germany (I think), a white woman shows up to counter-protest Iranians cheering on the anti-Mullah protests.
... The proposed 2026 budget showed the government's dilemma, reflecting a substantial decrease in oil revenue and an increased reliance on tax revenue. On Monday, the Parliament rejected the proposed budget, the semiofficial Tasnim News Agency reported. ... The currency collapse has been painful for ordinary Iranians, who have watched the value of their salaries and savings drop while prices for goods and services skyrocketed. Omid, a 42-year-old sales manager in Tehran, said the value of his monthly income has dropped to the equivalent of $200 per month from $300 in just two months, giving him anxiety.

That was the most stupid thing the russians could do sending a sub to escort an oil tanker. Not only is the sub tied down to the slow tanker it most likely was tracked by the US Navy every mile it sailed. They knew where that sub was at and most likely isolated it from the tanker it was escorting.

t is necessary to police platforms for thought because of the danger from the power of new media like podcasts that goes beyond any tacit social acceptance of the right of voicing dangerous or objectionable opinions.

They are ghost tankers under sanctions.
They aren't really Russian, they're smugglers who'll change ship names, registrations, GPS locator beacons, and everything else to get the cargo to port and get paid.
The Russians can end all these problems next week by sitting down and signing on the dotted line along with Z & Ukraine.

Set sail from Iran 7 months ago. Turned off its transponder about 2 weeks ago. Turned it back on a couple of days ago.

Were innocent Sunni Muslims killed by other Sunni Muslims (ISIS, Taliban, Al-Queda) worthy of protest by the American Left?
Were innocent Uyghur Muslims incarcerated, raped and murdered by Chinese Security Forces worthy of protest by the American Left?
Or are the only Muslim deaths worthy of protest by the American Left those killed by Jews?

They enforce maritime law, and are for criminal enforcement. Mostly they do coastal duty due to ship size limitations, but the Legend class has some serious range and endurance, allowing the CG to take over missions that the Navy would otherwise have to take on.

But the only thing that would get them seized, is if they were carrying sanctioned oil. If they were running empty, there would be no reason to stop them. Or at least no reason to confiscate them. No, that whole ref flagging in the middle of a cruise is highly suspicious.

1820's was peaceful even slavery wise. In exchange for getting Missouri, the south gave up all land north of Arkansas to freedom, much of which was Indian territory or already Mexican (Texas hadn't broken off then). The one state from each side pushed back political problems until 1845 and the Mexican War in the US Territory anyhow.

The Navy and Coast Guard are enforcing the sanctions / blockade which were placed on specific ships - including these two - as is part of their job.
And just because she isn't full of crude doesn't mean she's empty. Not that it matters since they were subject to seizure, full or not.

It's funny how the people screaming "But muh international law!" don't actually know any of it. Maduro was not lawfully elected, and therefore had no sovereign immunity nor was he an actual head of state, but a usurper who unlawfully held power, violating lots of international conventions in the process. That's why we arrested him.
The "shadow fleets" likewise have been allowed to do their thing simply because no one wanted to deal with the hassle of taking them down, but now Trump can sweep the seas and there's not a damn thing Russia can do from a legal perspective.

I suspect that those tankers were part of a game the russians/iran was playing and they got caught. Flying a false flag is a violation of maritime laws and once they hoisted the russian flag mid cruise they became fair game for any Navy to seize them.
My gut feeling is they were/are smuggling drugs out of venezuala.

That's the problem. When you put up what the cargo might be versus putting it on an oil tanker, not very many things make sense. If you were smuggling drugs, you wouldn't need an oil tanker.

That's the problem. When you put up what the cargo might be versus putting it on an oil tanker, not very many things make sense. If you were smuggling drugs, you wouldn't need an oil tanker.

It wasn't really a Russian ship. What Trump has put a spotlight on in recent weeks is that there is a "dark fleet" of cargo ships and tankers that sail around the world, carrying contraband cargo for cash, and they change their names and countries of registration monthly, if they register at all. They've been slipping through all the supposed regulations on international shipping, and they are well paid by China, Russia, Iran, and up til now Venezuela (as well as anyone else who wants to deal in contraband) Trump is starting to shut down this dark fleet, ship by ship.
The Bella, supposedly registered to Russia was registered to Panama just a couple weeks ago. But Panama disavowed knowing anything about them.

Minnesota is an underrated state. Striking natural beauty that rivals anything in the USA. Sadly, it’s been overrun with toxic cockroaches and doesn’t have the population numbers or industry to survive the invasion. Big, rich states can take in 200k Somalis and it’s a rounding error. For states like MN, it’s a death sentence.

They mostly have, not counting the Black Sea Fleet that's been neutralized by Ukraine. At one time they had the most nuclear powered ships in the world; scrapping got expensive, so there's at least 6 reactors they just dumped into the Arctic Ocean to be rid of them, and there may be more. They promise to go back and get them someday, oh sure they will.

Just want the plain jane, Chromium is the open source version of Chrome.
Firefox is the only other major browser with its own codebase and they are announcing a pivot to making their browser AI compliant plus some woke bullshit.
For old computers, Supermium is a degoogled Chrome for old Windows computers that have no upgrade path for their browsers. Brave requires a minimum of Windows 10 now for example.
Lots of old weird browsers on different code bases if you want to go to Linux. Plus most of the malware exploits don't work well on Linux

RFKJr. Unveils What Leftwing Ninnies Are Calling an "Upside-Down" Food Pyramid
No, it's rightside up. The old one was upside down, created out of nothing besides what one Senator's quack doctor told him about nutrition, plus lots of lobbying by vegetarians who constantly pressure the government into lying about nutrition.
But sure, "upside down."HHS's statement is here.
The White House on Wednesday unveiled new dietary guidelines, with officials calling it the "most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in history." The new guidelines were represented with an upside-down pyramid placing vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy and healthy fats at the top and whole grains at the bottom. "The new guidelines recognize that whole, nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care costs," said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "The new framework centers on protein and healthy fats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. It's upside down, a lot of people say. It was actually upside down before," he added. The initial food pyramid was introduced in the 1990s, showing a small amount of sugars at the top, recommending 2-4 servings of dairy, meat, fruit and vegetables in the middle, and 8-11 servings of bread, rice, pasta and other grains at the bottom. It was updated to "My Plate" under the Obama administration. ... It was the first White House press briefing of 2026. "Diets rich in vegetables and fruits reduce disease risk more effectively than many drugs," Kennedy added. "All grains outperform refined carbohydrates, added sugars, especially sugar sweetened beverages, drive metabolic disease, and today, our government declares war on added sugar, highly processed foods loaded with additives, added sugar and excess salt." Rollins said these guidelines will apply to whole foods whether they are "fresh, frozen, canned or dried." "These new guidelines are going to update the food that is served to America's children in our public schools to the plates that are served to our great men in uniform, in our military, our veterans, in the food that they are consuming at the VA and these new guidelines are also going to impact nutritional programs for the needy in our country, such as WIC and Head Start," Leavitt said, adding that these new guidelines would also help Americans save "thousands" on groceries.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins today released the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025--2030, marking the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in decades. The new Guidelines deliver a clear, common-sense message to the American people: eat real food. The U.S. faces a national health emergency. Nearly 90% of health care spending goes toward treating chronic disease, much of it linked to diet and lifestyle. More than 70% of American adults are overweight or obese, and nearly 1 in 3 adolescents has prediabetes. Diet-driven chronic disease now disqualifies many young Americans from military service, threatening national readiness and limiting opportunity. ... "Under President Trump's leadership, the Administration is restoring scientific integrity, accountability, and common sense to federal health guidance. The 2025--2030 Guidelines reestablish food--not pharmaceuticals--as the foundation of health and reclaim the food pyramid as a tool for nourishment and education. The Guidelines emphasize simple, flexible guidance rooted in modern nutrition science: Prioritize protein at every meal Consume full-fat dairy with no added sugars Eat vegetables and fruits throughout the day, focusing on whole forms Incorporate healthy fats from whole foods such as meats, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados Focus on whole grains, while sharply reducing refined carbohydratesLimit highly processed foods, added sugars, and artificial additives Eat the right amount for you, based on age, sex, size, and activity level Choose water and unsweetened beverages to support hydration Limit alcohol consumption for better overall health
Nutritional reformer and debunker of lies Nina Teichholz isn't satisfied -- the new dietary suggestions continue claiming that animal fat is bad for you and must be capped at 10% of all calories. Which she says make the new recommendations contradictory, given that they suggest a protein-first diet.
Delayed for months, the highly anticipated new U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans will be released to the public tomorrow, followed by a large (invite-only) event at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday. As promised, the new guidelines are expected to be only about eight pages, far shorter than the 100+ tomes of previous administrations. The guidelines are also likely to include a lengthy appendix with scientific reviews to justify their changes. The one widely touted reform was an "end to the war on saturated fat," as both HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary have repeatedly pledged since taking office--including as recently as Nov 27th. This was a revolutionary proposal. The cap on saturated fats has been a bedrock piece of advice since the launch of this policy in 1980, and it is why so many Americans avoid red meat, drink skim milk, and opt to cook with seed oils over butter. Yet I learned from two administration officials that saturated fats will not be liberated after all. The longstanding 10% of calories cap on these fats will remain. At the same time, the guidelines' language will encourage cooking with "butter" and "tallow," both of which are high in saturated fat. It will also introduce a colorful new food pyramid with proteins--including red meat--occupying the largest portion. These are powerful messages, never before conveyed by our national food policy, and are likely to influence consumer behavior.Teichholz is a Hot MILF who probably looks good in a white lab coat and therefore all of what she says is presumptively true. Still, the new recommendations are good, and big, first step. She notes that the new guidelines finally advocate for a low-carb diet, for those who tend to be fluffy:
Other Changes to the Guidelines Before taking a deeper dive into saturated fats, here are some other details of the revamped guidelines I've learned: • The limit on sugar will be dramatically lowered, from the current limit of 10% of calories to possibly 2% of calories, although that target may be for children only. • A low-carbohydrate diet will be included as a possible option for people with obesity, diabetes, and perhaps other metabolic diseases. This is a huge win and one for which the Nutrition Coalition, the non-profit group I founded, has been advocating since 2020. This new low-carb option will be included in a section entitled "special considerations," even though 93% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy, according to a 2022 paper based on government data, making low-carb seem logical as a more mainstream approach. An important caveat here is that achieving a low-carbohydrate diet, which is almost always higher in fish, meat, dairy, butter, and fat generally, will be impossible with the continued 10% cap on saturated fats.
This is a psyop to make liberals too fat to fight against the government as they will reflexively just do the opposite of this https://t.co/vwiuYe4Gxy

But now when half the population is overweight? To the extent the government should be getting involved with discussions of what you should eat it should be telling people to eat meat and vegetables not bread, french fries, or candy

It's now a right-sized pyramid. And I appreciate not bothering to put any junk on it b/c that needs to be avoided if we're talking "best" - treats are meant to be treats, not part of the dietary guidelines...I mean the guidelines are the ideal, not the actual, diet for folks...

Problem with carbs is most people get carbs from processed junk foods and mostly from sugar. But blaming carbs in general at least gets people to pay attention to their sugar intake. People didn't get obese eating plain rice or oatmeal.

It's when a person eats a meat that's very lean (e.g., that of wild rabbit), but does not consume enough carbs and fat along with it to be able to digest it properly. So you die of malnutrition even though you're eating lots of protein, because your body can't process it.

My mother always bought margarine instead of butter, probably because it was cheaper. I followed suit for many years. Even now, knowing that butter is NOT lethal, I sometimes hesitate in the store. ("That Parkay is soooo much cheaper than Land O'Lakes butter --"). But then I grab Walmart's version of the same butter and am happy.

This food whatever is miles better than the old one, though I like the plate visual so much better because that is how we eat and it makes much more sense. No one over there at MAHA hq reached out to me. You can, in fact, eat too many fats. Just like you can eat too many lots of things. The person cited in Ace’s article is far more rational than most people on this subject, but even she has some bias here coming out. I know, I know crazy.

Salt is bad for the 10% or so of the population who have bodies that don't self regulate salt effectively. For everyone else, you just naturally crave less salty food when you have had too much. Your body will also signal you to drink more liquids and you excrete the excess salt.

Before this money (along with the drug money) was handed out to all of the competing groups in Venezuela; not just the government, but the Generals individually, the Army Collectively, the Security Police, the Cartels, the above ground government. Now it is all going to go thought Rodriguez, and if any of them don't play ball with her, she can cut them off on her own say so.
Why will she go along with this? Because this now makes her more powerful (for now) than anyone else in Venezuela, including some old rivals, like the head of the militia's and the generals. So now Rubio doesn't really have to control the entire country, he just has to keep Delcy Rodriguez knowing that her position depends on her not fucking up too much.

Dr. John Campbell did a video a couple months back revealing an error in the way the USRDA for Vitamin D was calculated -- there is a clear error that greatly under estimates the amount required. I think it moved from 600IU to 9,000IU if you do the math correctly. Check it out. Anecdotally, every time I see someone doing blood tests to find right dosage it ends up being closer to 9,000IU

I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!

Timmy is a bit dense, once the Insurrection Act is posted, it is martial law, military tribunals, etc. Look forward to the new era of Reconstruction where the Northern and Western states are Reconstructed.

I'm not going to argue with you because arguing about nutrition here is pointless but there is a LOT of evidence - as in research - which shows that you do not need carbs. At all.
There are thousands of people who chronicle their carnivore lifestyle, even the more restrictive beef-only carnivore, and the health improvements they've had as a result.

Trump is simply gathering all this information if and when he needs to invoke the Insurrection Act. Same reason he withdrew the troops from Portland, LA, etc. If they continue to act up, more grist for the Insurrection Act invocation.

Even if you spend time out of doors, you get no UVB unless sun is above 35 or 40 degrees in sky. This never happens in Fall or Winter for top 2/3 of country. And even then, it only happens around noon.
During Spring and Summer, the sun spends more time high enough for the UVB to reach the ground, and we wear less clothing, so people need less supplement but during Fall and Winter I think almost everyone does.
As for how much, I am just saying hat some is better than none. I think the effects are subtle and not obvious -- maybe you are more likely to get flu, or maybe long term chronic effects after years of having too little. It seems to be a universal good for many conditions but very hard to determine since sick people often have low levels, but we don't know direction of causality.

"Early reports suggested that was hardly the case.

For a period of years, colored margarine was illegal, thanks to the dairy lobby. So you got a brick of white margarine, and a little packet of yellow dye to mix with it, at the expense of some effort. But that went away early in my childhood.

Sorry, Piper. I know I'm sorta in your wheelhouse. But "Calories In, Calories Out" ignores how substances interact with the body other than being burned.
A fatty liver can be caused by a too many "calorie" lifestyle, but a backed-up and the resulting Insulin Resistance does not make it about a balance of calories. Most people don't lose because of insulin resistance--even with exercise.
And diet does a whole lot more to un-burden a liver than a treadmill could ever do.

That doesn't mean Metabolic Process doesn't require Carbs.
Now, how you can access those requirements is certainly something that can be altered. But the easiest way is to add beneficial carbs, regardless of source.
I can't tell you the volume and type of Protein you could achieve this with, off the top of my head.
But I can tell you that adding it via reasonable portions of carb rich foods that are not meat is not unhealthy.

Sure. The brain requires glucose.
Now... When glycogen stores are depleted, typically after prolonged fasting or intense exercise, the body shifts to gluconeogenesis, the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors.
So, what that means, is that your very own body - unless there's something wrong with it - can produce the glucose that your brain requires without you ever eating any.
But you do you.

You should get your blood panel done. I only go to the doc once a year for my medical (outside of the times I have broken bones). It's worth it for the lab tests. Could be the difference between making it to 80 vs 90 (if you care).

There are other government guidelines that were put in place due to the enthusiasm of a small number of guys, when no one else wanted to bother.
The linear model of risk for exposure to toxins, for example. No allowance for non-linear risk, or the ability of the body's repair mechanisms to deal with low concentrations.

I'm not going to argue with you because arguing about nutrition here is pointless but there is a LOT of evidence - as in research - which shows that you do not need carbs. At all

The human body is designed to persist. It can do without many thing s an survive. Being able to survive without a certain food does not mean the body does not need it.

That's the amount that works for me, for whole bunch of things, like not falling into a depressive spiral and other emotional equilibrium maintenance things, and using less ibuprofen at certain times of the month.
K2 (the menaquinone-7 form of it) is supposed to work with D3 to ... direct the D3 to put calcium in the proper places? I think? But there are apparently different forms of K2 that do different things. Menaquinone-4 is supposed to do good things for your brain.

House Oversight Committee Takes Testimony About Somali Fraud (While Democrats Yammer about January 6th and White Supremacy)
Media Lies
@MediasLies Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia's opening statement at the House Oversight hearing on fraud: Agrees fraud is bad... then immediately pivots to "but Trump!" "Republicans like to talk about fraud in states with Democratic governors... but Republicans also have a president who has pardoned or reduced jail time for 25 criminals convicted of fraud..." Classic TDS deflection. Instead of addressing fraud in blue states, it's all Trump's fault.
Three state Republican lawmakers who have investigated public assistance fraud told the House Oversight Committee taxpayers were being ripped off to the tune of billions of dollars over recent years and the state's Democratic leadership refused to act. Walz, who recently announced he would drop his bid for a third term, has been asked to testify at a later hearing amid scrutiny of his handling of the schemes and faced criticism for failing to step in sooner to shut down payments to fraudsters. House Republicans launched an investigation into Walz's handling of the fraud claims in December claiming the former vice-presidential nominee allowed efforts to cover it up and retaliate against whistleblowers under his watch. Walz has claimed the hearings and broader federal actions against the state are a political stunt to silence critics of the administration. Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who chairs the committee, questioned whether Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the state's Democratic leadership were negligent or complicit in the fraud. "Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota's Democrat leadership have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in these crimes," Comer said. "We must expose this theft of taxpayer dollars and hold everybody accountable who let it happen." ... One prosecutor has alleged that half or more of the $18 billion in federal funds for 14 programs in Minnesota since 2018 could have been stolen. Most of the defendants in the case are Somali Americans. ...Some videos of the questioning -- and the Democrats making animal noises -- below.
State Rep. Marion Rarick told lawmakers the Walz administration had retaliated against state employees who raised concerns about the fraud with threats of being fired for cause so they cannot collect unemployment insurance or being involuntarily transferred to other departments to damage their careers. State Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican who is running for governor, also said Walz has overseen a culture that encourages fraud. She said the committee she leads had identified fraud in Medicaid programs, autism centers, housing stabilization and other programs. "Culture matters. Fraud flourishes when leaders ignore it, and criminals see they can get away with it," she testified. "Second, fraud flourishes when basic internal controls are not followed. This is not complicated." She accused Walz and his administration of actively interfering with criminal investigations looking into the fraud and refusing to address the fraud for political gains through the support of Somali Americans in Minnesota. The state Department of Human Services undermined attempts to strengthen fraud prevention by making it harder to disqualify providers for the Child Care Assistance Program than others. "We have many whistleblower reports talking about how DHS undermined the ability to strengthen internal controls," Robbins said.

Gunther Eagleman™
@GuntherEagleman 2h UNBELIEVABLE: !Just watched this disgusting display from a Dem in the House Oversight hearing on massive Minnesota fraud schemes. Instead of addressing the childcare crisis and fraud that's bleeding taxpayers dry, she launches into a vile tirade painting white men as the real criminals and even dragging Jan 6 pardons into it. She mocks "bad groups" and "others," then demands we "look at ourselves" -- meaning blame American citizens, especially white men, for "disproportionate" violence. She even laughs while spewing this BULLSHIT! And get this: Defends Somali donors to campaigns, insisting they're all citizens so no problem. Total deflection from the real fraud investigations hitting her backyard. This is peak anti-American, anti-white hatred from the left -- ignoring border chaos, criminal illegals, and fraud rings while demonizing hardworking patriots and even the President. She's the real threat to our country, pushing division and excuses for corruption. Time to call out these race-baiting Dems and demand accountability!
This gape-assed faggot is using the committee's time to whine about the "stolen valor" of Trump -- who's only the second US president with a background in entertainment, btw -- putting his name on the Trump-Kennedy Center. He says he has legishhlashion ready for thish purposhh. Either he's in Biden-like cognitive decline and the speesh shentersh of his brain are degraded, or he's a Kamala-like daydrinker and slosh-drunk during working hours. You choose. But choose wisely, because as the True Grail brings everlasting life, the False Grail brings eternal damnation. That said, the answer is "Both."

I'll add that (as I've been saying) it takes time for FBI and DOJ to build and bring criminal cases. Months or even years. Even open and shut cases take time. It's already been shown that corrupt judges (and corrupt grand juries) will seize on any issue to deep-six the case. These cases have to be perfect to have a good chance of winning.

I assume the Shirley video was in process before. That David guy has been looking into it all independently for a while.
But...the news cycle actually began with the MN USA's press conference. The $9 billion number came from that news conference.
News of indictments came from that news conference.
Also, shipwreckedcrew makes an educated guess that Walz dropped his re-election bid because he got a Targeting Letter from the DOJ telling him he's under criminal investigation. I believe it.

Republicans waving receipts at dems in hearings is about all the accountability we're likely to see.
Dems did not scream accountability when hunting down aunt Mabels who were in sight of the capital dome on 1/6/21. They sent their goons armed up with full-auto rifles and wearing plated vests to arrest the Mables in front of their kids at zero dark thirty. They got it done. They had the judges, the juries, the prosecutors, and the jailers all ready for action.

Where does anyone think Walz was getting campaign contributions from? A lot of this kind of corruption isn't direct cash vigs under the table (watch out, don't hit Kamala) but legit-looking transfers like campaign donations and support.

Kamala was the only one who could possibly access Biden's money when it was proven he couldn't win in 2024, and Walz was tapped because he had more bribe money available.

There are ways to make laws self-enforcing and of distributing enforcement to people willing to. (1) explicitly allow states to deport criminals. (2) prioritize certain functions of government; if those functions are performed, functions lower on the list, such as the DOE, are disbanded. (3) no government funds can go to criminals, including people here illegally, and private citizens are empowered to sue to enforce this at the local level.
That’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure people who have been actually thinking about it have more (and better) ideas.

From the flip side, I remember one interview that really stands out as a hiring manager.
The candidate had put a line item on her resume about how she led a particular type of effort common to the job I was looking to hire her for. As an easy question to get her comfortable I asked "Tell me about how you did that work item?"
And she said..."oh I didn't actually do that work, a friend told me I should put it on my resume because companies want to see that"
At that moment the interview was over. If you are going to lie to my stick with the lie.

They still asked me to take a personality test. After said test, they ghosted me.
I got a new job. Boss there called me into his office one day and told me he knew why I didn't get the job. Their HR lady was giving a talk and used me as an example of not wanting to hire someone based on the test bc I was "too ambitious."

Those 1000+ officeholders who lost under him were their fundraisers, earners.
He wiped out their farm team.
And forced them to become addicted to laundered government funds instead of fundraising.
Which had the negative feedback loop of distancing them from actual donors and voters.
Which is where they are now: Wholly dependent upon laundered government funds and vote fraud to win.
It's not that the Party no longer has a broad base, it's that none of them even know who their base is anymore.

Those 1000+ officeholders who lost under him were their fundraisers, earners.
He wiped out their farm team.
And forced them to become addicted to laundered government funds instead of fundraising.
Which had the negative feedback loop of distancing them from actual donors and voters.
Which is where they are now: Wholly dependent upon laundered government funds and vote fraud to win.
It's not that the Party no longer has a broad base, it's that none of them even know who their base is anymore.

The cop told me that he construed hands-on-hips as a hostile stance and told me to take my hands off my hips.

Not actually needed but useful in the court of public opinion. The whole shooting happened in about 2 seconds, the whole encounter on most video so far is about 20 seconds before the shooting.
If someone is heading at you with a car and you are infront of it and happen to be a federal officer trying to execute a lawful stop, then you are allowed to shoot at the driver regardless of whether it touched you. Imminent threat to be stopped and cars are lethal weapons in this case and no, a federal officer is NOT required to give way to the car and perp aka retreat.
The lady committed suicide by cop essentially whether she intended that outcome or not and a whole train of bad decisions in a very short period of time by her.

The NG is commanded, first and foremost, by the president. If the president counteracts that commend, and the NG does not comply, they all spend 20 years in Leavenworth (if they are lucky). Second, the NG would be committing suicide - trump would order in whatever forces he has from the rest of the country, and the Minnesota NG would immediately surrender. Or die.
For what? for Walz? Somali scammers? Illegal alien rapists being sent home?
Dems talk about refusing illegal orders - these would be illegal orders.

It kind of brings us back to the Paul Ryan days with the "10 year plans" that seemed to be designed to be memory hole dumps where all would be forgotten.
Politicians, R's and D's. I fuggin pretty much hate em all at this point.
I don't want to hear one smidgen of talk about R's and D's.
I want prison sentences. There is a decade plus of time that has gone by to process this and if there is not enough evidence at this point as they watched billions get ripped off then just be frank with the American people.
They are not going to arrest any R or D over this. They will however make Paul Ryan......Envious.
Fuq the R and D at this point.

Minnesota Terrorist Tries to Ram ICE with Her Car, Gets Fatally Shot in Self-Defense
Update: Slowed Video Shows Car Hitting Agents
As a commenter said: They're going to try to Derek Chauvin these agents.
It's time for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday defended an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who fatally shot someone in what the agency says was self-defense. "Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them--an act of domestic terrorism," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. " An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots."
... "This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement," McLaughlin added.
🚨 BREAKING: Video shows the moment a woman tried to RUN OVER ICE agents with her vehicle in Minneapolis, resulting in her being SHOT

Tim Walz calling ICE the “GESTAPO” is EXACTLY WHY this stuff happens.

Without a racial angle, the blacks -- and their army of race hustlers -- will sit this one out. Nobody cries for dead AWFuLs who try to run over cops. White antifa homos will also mostly stay home, afraid that they too will be shot.
Sure, the left will try to make this slashcunt into a martyr, but the vast majority of normals will watch the vid of her literally running over a cop, shrug, and mutter "FAFO."

Holy shit, that's blatant murder. They were driving away. They are already trying to spin it that the driver was trying to run them over, which is completely bullshit.
ICE needs to leave our state. full stop. If they refuse we need to make them. I'm not watching another fucking video like this. Force them out.
I'm downloading every single one of these videos in case these MAGA voters decide to do the usual and have a selective memory.
If the MPD doesn't arrest the shooter now then everything Frey promised is a lie, and a dangerous one.
R/conservative is celebrating this and claiming the driver was trying to run over the officer. How in gods name would shooting someone prevent the car from hitting the ICE buffoon if it was already heading straight at them from 3 feet away?
I legitimately do not know how to handle the fact that there are people who will see such a completely altered, Trump-dictated version of reality no matter what is in front of them.

Hmmm. Mayor Gay Homo Fag's statement is interesting, and telling. He's using the incident as a means to call for ICE to leave. At least in that statement, he's not calling it a murder or even a possibly unlawful shoot. Something is up. He musta seen the vid of the cop getting rammed, or he (correctly) senses this ain't going the way the left wants.

I think it will all come down to the angle at which the fatal bullet entered her body. If it was from the side or the sort of left-rear, ICE agent is in trouble.
THAT said, the bitch was clearly there to disrupt LE and was fully prepared to leave a body in her wake.
What an IDIOT attempting to drive away when you're being ordered out of the car with an agent pulling on your door!!

ICE is going to deport so many Somalis while the DOJ cracks down on generalized lawlessness, including election fraud, over the next year or so. It's going to be such a shock to the system that no Democrat will ever have to act Somali again.

Watch the vid at the link Jack Straw provided. It's a different angle and you can clearly see she did actually hit the cop, and pretty hard too. His body shudders. This changes everything. It's one thing to say "he got out of the way and still shot her!" But he didn't get out of the way. She hit him. Hard. Righteous shoot.

Go out to X, there are a bunch of different angles that show her hitting the officer with her car. They also show her gunning it with an officer’s arm through the window when she is being ordered to exit the vehicle. There are links in the thread below.

It seems pretty textbook to me that force was justified. A team of uniformed law enforcement agents arrests you and you "gun it" while one is in front of your vehicle attempting to escape? It's not like these people snuck up on her, what the video probably cut off is all sorts of communication the agents had with her first.
But the goal of all of this is to wear down our resolve on enforcing illegal immigration. Sort of like showing illegals in cages.

Apparently the term for this is being an ICE Informer. As near as I can figure out, these are the people that show up and create all the chaos with the screaming, whistles and impeding the ICE agents from doing their work. Of course, being an ICE Informer means the person has received extensive training in this well-recognized field and has demonstrated through written and field tests they are qualified to conduct this role. This is unlike people who just show up where law enforcement is conducting an operation and trigger a riot.
The MSNOW reporter on the scene stated that he was told by an ICE Informer that the driver of the car was also an ICE Informer. So it seems one law enforcement agent shot with another law enforcement agent. MN Atty. General Keith Ellison is going to do everything he can to to bury this ice agent in prison for the next 50 years.

Incorrect thinking. If you conceed the first shot is justified then the rest are. This is not civilian self defense. Agents are authorized to use deadly force to effect felony arrests. If you say the first shot was self defense, she attempted murder. If she did not surrender, using the car to resist arrest flee justifies any additional shots. So thanks, but i can award you zero points.

with that being granted, i am not sure i can fault the officer responsible for the shooting for pulling his weapon and firing in a moment a vehicle seems to be pulling off in his immediate direction. it's a truly regrettable outcome...but induced primarily by a truly regrettable decision to take off with a law enforcement officer perhaps 3 feet in front of your vehicle's grill.
what i *am* sure of is that i don't want to hear so much as a peep about law enforcement restraint from the set that has repeatedly averred that ashley babbitt deserved to be shot for her illegal presence in the capitol.
if ms babbitt deserved to be shot for participating in a riot, surely the same logic should apply to this "legal observer" refusing compliance and attempting to evade detainment ?
Posted by: pH at January 07, 2026 02:49 PM (7sHk5)
I have no idea how this idea that you CANNOT shoot someone "in the back" and have the shoot be legal became so widespread.
First of all, prosecutors often have a very broad definition of, "the back." Imagine a plane perfectly dividing a person in half from the top down. They will define anything in the rear half of the body as, "the back," including what normal people would call, "the side."
Second, just watch any video of gang bangers shooting at each other as they run around, shooting wildly. They'll point the gun out to their side and shoot. They'll point the gun to their rear as they're running and shooting. Just because someone is generally turned away from you doesn't mean they're not an active threat.

Yes and no, you shoot to stop the attack. Once the attack is over, then no more shots. No coup d' grace for ordinary citizens to prevent escape.
In the case of law enforcement, it becomes after the officer's clear first shot in self defense, additional shots are allowed to prevent escape of a fleeing violent felon.
Cars are considered lethal weapons.

So what? A detained suspect is fleeing and tried to kill an agent, as if someone gets to freeze time and determine where the bullet hit and if it properly incapacitated them from continuing to try and kill people with her car.

No, it won't. Because of the very close proximity of the shots. Basically, there have been instances where a body can literally turn just before the bullet hit them. This is not a citizen self defense case btw, this was a fleeing felon the moment she stepped on the gas and nearly hit the ICE officer. After, it does not matter what direction she is facing because of the fleeing violent felon rule.

It was ICE officers, federal lawsuit, federal courts and qualified immunity for the officer. No state action here. More likely a Go Fund Me for the family playing the new version of the ghetto lottery for perps.
I doubt they will see a thin dime as the entire doctrine was invented by the Rehnquist court to quell a lot of lawsuits under civil rights laws against officers.

The officer stepped in to stop her from leaving against direction and unholstered his weapon.
She aggressively accelerated toward and struck the officer.
The odds of her getting shot rose exponentially when she put it back in drive and put her foot on the gas.
Then she hit him.

There are literally hundreds of videos out there of people turning speeding tickets into arrests, and trespass into felonies. People think it is okay to just start manhandling a police officer or stand in the road arguing with him. Or simply ignoring him, and his lawful orders.
Don't fight the police, and heck, don't stand around and argue with them. The cop, usually, doesn't want to do the paperwork for your arrest - he wants you to either comply, or give you a ticket. Make his life easy, and he will make your life easy(er)

Eh, NYC and Mayor Stupid Fcking Lindsay are the reason for that. NYC was using full metal jacketed bullets because hollowpoints used by almost every other jurisdiction were regarded as inhumane.
FMJ are poor instant stoppers (and I do not mean killing here). The usual stop on someone is from massive blood loss which a person can survive. A CNS hit are generally not survivable no matter what type of bullet you use. However, FMJ does have the added bonus of often traveling through perps and hitting the innocent bystanders or other officers on richochets or shoot throughs.

Self defense law is tricky and often stupid as hell. Self defense can go from justified, to not justified, and back to justified in a couple of seconds. Every single shot can be analyzed under this rubric in court. Police are often given much broader latitude than normies in court, but the general rules still apply.
A good expert can point out that a human can only process information at a certain speed and from the moment of choosing to shoot or not shoot to the moment your finger pulls on the trigger is half a second or more. In a very quick shooting like this, even when the car was past the officer, a shot or two is probably justified.
There's also law that cops can shoot at a dangerous (felonious?) fleeing individual if the cop reasonably thinks they're a danger to the public. Normies aren't covered by this law, though.

Incorrect thinking. If you conceed the first shot is justified then the rest are. This is not civilian self defense. Agents are authorized to use deadly force to effect felony arrests. If you say the first shot was self defense, she attempted murder. If she did not surrender, using the car to resist arrest flee justifies any additional shots. So thanks, but i can award you zero points.

Wait, the nick is Tucker, is this someone trolling? I mean its pretty clear between whig and a bunch of others. Its a legal shoot. If you believe the first shot is valid so are the rest.

Yep. the Magic word is reasonable and the use of force must be proportionate to the degree necessary to stop the attack. Once the attack is over, then you cannot continue to engage unless the threat reappears. Never as a regular citizen ever try to stop a fleeing felon, burglar, etc. And yes, I know about TX law--it has a number of legal jeopardies attached via caselaw which lawyers know and the general public does not.
Don't shoot someone over stealing something or even if they are exiting the house after breaking in because the threat to you is essentially over.
Do call the police to make a report in such instances even though it is a hassle. You don't want the perp claiming that you were the one trying to use illegal force against them.

Another way to consider it.
Imagine if she had a gun instead of a car. The ICE agents tell her to drop the gun. In place of reversing the car she unholsters it. Again the ICE agents tell her to drop it.
She then raises it at the ICE agent in front of her and the ICE agents begin shooting.
Since a car in this situation is a weapon the comparison I think holds.

She was trying to go around the vehicle in front of her. She committed a crime hitting the agent. Did she deserve to be shot?
Posted by: Eskimo
While you are a troll, I used to teach Criminal Procedure for over twenty years to yutes. Once you commit a forcible felony to a cop, then the cop is allowed to shoot until the threat is stopped and that includes risks to others.
Idiots play this game all the time when they try to flee cops at high speed and then encounter either a PIT stop or run over spike strips and lose control which deads them. A fleeing car in the operation of perps is in itself a lethal weapon and a menace.
You need to read TN v. Garner where Scotus defines when police may use lethal force to stop a fleeing criminal. It is when a forcible felony has occurred and hitting a cop with your car whether you intended it or not in the course of your other crimes (failure to obey a lawful order to stop, dragging an officer a few feet while not stopping, etc. ). That made her a fleeing felon armed with a dangerous weapon, the car. Thus, she got deaded.

As I said, it was only a matter of time for this to happen. Especially in crazy MN protecting their precious leeching Somolians.
While I am sorry for those who loved this woman, she was not using good sense to do this when an officer has his arm in your car and telling you to get out of the vehicle.
If she had nothing to hide, why back up and accelerate and hit an agent on your escape? To be a hero? Late hair appt?
If it was June there would be National Riot Month, especially if she's not white. Since it's cold and January, probably not. No matter than multiple videos show her being first told to get out of her car and she ignores that order, backs up recklessly, and accelerates into two ICE agents with guns drawn. Not smart.
I hope MORE ICE agents and the National Guard (if needed) are sent to MN to deport. I have no pity's to give for MN, after seeing them rip off of the nation with Walz and Co. GET OUT!

The old common law rule before TN v. Garner was simply shooting an escaping felon. Committing what is called forcible felonies warrant up to lethal force to stop in every state.
Doesn't mean cops have to and in some cases, like trying to stop idiots in cars driving dangerously to escape being caught, are not in accordance to individual jurisdiction policies, they keep the old common law because of liability.
And those officers get qualified immunity too courtesy of Scotus.

I don't remember the details, but I think the plunger went in the mouth -- that wasn't disputed. Yes, he was a fag, but still there is something wrong when they tune-up a guy in the back room to that degree. Do it in an alley or something.
From what I read, Diallo was just a bystander. They were not approaching him until he showed up to see what was going on. Maybe he was a rapist, still. The story told (as I recall) is that one cop stumbled, another yelled "gun" for no reason, and they all started shooting.
I defend this current shooting, and Chauvin, and I did from day one, but still, not all shootings are legit and I think those two incidents from NYC are not worth defending.

I had these arguments from students every time there was a police shooting. All the cameras around now make it a helluva lot easier to teach.
But the general rule is cooperate with the cops regarding their orders within reason (you do not have to admit to anything nor consent to a search of the car) to avoid any Courtroom of the Street where the cop is the judge, jury, and executioner if need be. Save it for the real courthouse if you are justified.
Cars, whether you think they are not, are considered lethal weapons when in operation. You cannot decide in the courtroom of the street to suddenly leave a cop when they are telling you to stop. You have to stop, you cannot try to move around vehicles to escape, and you have to definitely stop if an officer is in front of you. Its over. Now the reckoning of the charges will commence and the toll rises as you try more and more to get away. And the sentence can be all the way to death. No appeal.
I hope this saves some lives but generally this spiel and the funnier Chris Rock video, gets through to some folks .

EXACTLY. Protesters have been playing stupid games with armed federal agents. This was inevitable.
I stay AWAY from LEOs who are doing their jobs. I do not interfere. Hell, Im terrified of local PD because they have poor safety training (almost accidentally shot TWICE by police). The moment a government agent with a gun steps into your scene your life expectancy takes a nosedive - mistakes happen, you were reaching for your wallet? Or a gun. I make the encounter as easy going as possible and then get out of their way.

And at exactly that point she made herself into a felon in possession of a deadly weapon. As soon as she started driving her car away from the ICE agent ordering her to stop she made herself a legitimate target to use deadly force on. If you drive a car at a cop you fvcked up.

I am sorry a life was lost, there are people who did not have anything to do with this who are family or friends, and they are feeling pain in their heart right now. I certainly have sympathy for them. Especially as this will play out over and over again very publicly. I expect they will not say it is unfortunate but justified, of course. I still feel sorry for their loss.

I watched the videos in Ace's post. It looks to me as if she is attempting to avoid the cop. Yes she hits him, but it doesn't look intentional, and it certainly doesn't look as if she is trying to run him over.
Cop then shoots a second time when he is clearly not in danger. To me, that does not necessarily rise to the level of "a reasonable officer would believe the suspect poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm to himself or others."
My first thought was literally "he didn't need to shoot".

See the Jackstraw video above from another angle, She hit him while trying to escape from another cop who had reached in teh window to try to turn off the car. She had it coming by playing a stupid game. She had plenty of time to stop initially but she played a stupid game, then she thought she would flee, that only gave her a split second to make a decision that would end up being fatal for her.
You take the ride downtown and get home for supper instead her ride was to the mortuary.
The ironic thing is that any seasoned street thug knew the rules that she ignored because of her karen 'privilege'. Too many of these gits think they are immune to law enforcement becuz they are some moral exemplar.

There isn't a lot of debate over operations once they get handed down. Maybe there is when guys are talking but once you're in a briefing room, if they say 'we're going' then you are going or you're resigning.

And you are wrong. For a citizen correct, for an officer stopping a fleeing violent felon, which she was regardless of intent. Once she started that car and did not obey a lawful order to stop, she set the train in motion so her actions are viewed in a continuous decision tree after the initial illegal decision not to stop when an officer is reaching inside to do so. That, in an off itself are two crimes, then hitting the officer, whether or not intention, is a forcible felony of assault on an officer, then further trying to flee made her a fleeing forcible felon.

Quote the relevant SCOTUS cases. I just read them. I think you are wrong. This one is not as clear-cut as you claim.
* She was fleeing.
* She struck the officer but it did not appear likely to cause death or serious injury.
* The threat may have been momentary or avoidable.
But hey, volunteer your services to defend the cop. You are so convinced of your correctness, I am sure it will sway the jury.

We already played this game in the case of Lon Horiuchi. He was indicted in Idaho for shooting Randy Weaver's wife and son. He faced a trial, before the trial, federal government raised supremacy clause because Horiuchi did the shooting under his official duties of the FBI, the trial judge ended the trial before a jury. Idaho appealed and the 9th sent it back to Idaho for a ruling on whether qualified immunity existed, by that time, a new prosecutor was in office and dropped the state charges.
End result, which is much more murky than this as Lon who was shooting from a great distance had no personal threat, avoiding arrest, or other charges to file against the wife or son, was not tried, then these ICE agents are very unlikely to be. The case would be in federal court, not state in that case.

It matters because someone reading might try to flee cops in a car fearing arrest. That is always a bad call. What a person 'thinks' the law should be should never be confused with what it is.

It's interesting how defensive you all are.
I'm as conservative as the next guy. I have plenty of experience with guns. If he is charged he still has to prove it was a reasonable decision that she posed immediate risk of serious bodily injury or death to himself or others.
I don't think she posed such a threat. Now, that's not saying the same thing as "would a reasonable officer think she posed such a threat", since I am making that assessment sitting in my chair in front of a computer.
But it's not clear-cut. That's all I am saying. Y'all can cry about that if you want but it's simply a fact.

I am guessing it was a CNS head shot. Dead immediately. She might have been dead already from the first shot through the windshield.

You've made up your mind. It's not about who is the better man. I suspect the ICE cop made an honest mistake. I am not judging him. If anything, putting ICE cops in this situation is the problem. They're not trained to deal with it the way regular cops are.

I don't cry about it. But your opinion does not comport with law because literally you do not know what you are watching.
Doesn't matter whether you play for team conservative or not. The woman in question committed a long line of offenses starting when she tried to flee--she failed to obey a lawful order to stop, she assaulted the officer while driving away with his arm inside the car doing a lawful attempt to stop her, she escalated the fact that she tried to pull around cars to affect an escape, she either intentionally or unintentionally hit an ICE officer whose job at that point was to stop a felon. Hitting him in the course of committing other crimes, she did a forcible felony at that point. And he shot her. Within another second, he shot her again to stop the threat to him and other officers as well as anyone else around the vehicle.
At each stage, she had the power to stop committing crimes, instead, she escalated them in an attempt to escape and hit an officer. She then got a fatal correction to her crimes.

The relevant case at hand is Tennessee v. Garner where the case involved a burglary suspect that was fatally shot while trying to climb over a fence. Scotus defines and has not changed from the forcible felony std going forward for Civil Rights lawsuit liability.
==
“Assault on a Federal Officer” Under 18 U.S.C. § 111
Using a vehicle to flee or break contact
During an attempted immigration arrest or traffic stop, the driver accelerates away with officers at the door, drags an officer who is partially inside the car, or collides with a pursuing government vehicle. DOJ routinely treats the car itself as a “dangerous weapon” and charges as a felony under § 111(b).
Felony assault on a federal officer
The statute allows enhanced penalties where there is:
Significant physical contact with the officer
or Use of a deadly or dangerous weapon
or Serious bodily injury
or Intent to commit another felony

The cop did not make an error in judgement, the person decided she was going to be a hero with a motor vehicle.
She struck a federal officer duly commissioned in the execution of their duties, precedent and logic immunize the agent.
That New Somalia will not preclude their political preferences from pursuing charges does not make them valid.

You ignore the fact that she was committing a forcible felony while fleeing from other crimes she committed. At that point, what she intended does not apply. Same with the officer, the officer shot to stop the threat and stepped aside while she was still committing the crime aka moving the vehicle. Both occurred within two seconds on a slippery icy road.
You either do not understand totality of circumstances requirement on reasonability or don't want to.
This is the reason why qualified immunity exists because someone second guessing a potentially lethal encounter means that the subjective view of the officer in that charged situation with short time span is what matters, not your opinion in the safety and pleasantry of your house.
It is frankly people like you that created the qualified immunity doctrine by insisting on immaculate law enforcement decisions in hindsight. It does not work that way.

As far as the shooting goes, from my perspective: it's a good shooting --
The officer was at the left front corner of the SUV in a blocking position, and the other officer was reaching in to get the driver. Lesbian AWFL decided to actively resist arrest and drive away. The shooting officer got clipped on the knee by the SUV and the other officer was getting spun off balance.
Lesbian AWFL FAFO -- she dead.

I know one deaf person from birth (her mother had Rubella the first trimester). She learned to lip read and speak vs ASL. However, closed captioning (on most tv's for decades) helped her vocabulary. My deaf grandmother also used closed captioning, learning the word, "fellato" during Clinton's trial. Why are ASL weirdos needed in 2026 (look! I wrote the correct year!).

From all the vehicle-involved shootings I have seen, this one looks borderline to me. And if he's prosecuted, in Minnesota he will have trouble in front of a jury. This is not a Derek Chauvin case where it was doubtful he even caused George Floyd's death.
You're spending a lot of time justifying your position. Primarily because it's not as clear-cut as you claim. I suspect also because you think your law training makes you a superior judge in this case. I've met many pretty dumb lawyers and not very many smart ones, so you'll forgive me if I don't accept your implicit argument from authority.

I don't buy the "SHE WAS TRYING TO RUN HIM OVER" charge, far more likely, like every other stupid feminist pink hair fucking with ICE she thought she had the right to stand up to the gestapo, but didn't want to stick around for arrest.
So she tried to bounce, and, no question, struck the guy with her car.
And she had the option to de-escalate the situation at any time.
I feel bad for this woman dying. I don't love this whole "FUCK EM THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY GET" attitude going around, but all the same, this woman was convinced by an entire industry that not only was it her moral duty to stand up to ice, she could do it and get away with it consequence free. That she could LITERALLY RUN FROM THE COPS & DRAG ONE when they try to arrest her, and it not be a problem.

I never said Ashley Babbit was "justified and righteous". But the reason Byrd wasn't feted rather than prosecuted had precious little to do with the the law and everything to do with politics.
That's what I meant by 'If you believe that "the same set of laws" determines the outcome then I have a bridge to sell you. '
It's a little subtle. Think about it. Maybe you'll finally get it and prove yourself a little more than a fucking retard, although I doubt it.

Maybe visiting family for the holidays to MN. Maybe driving there to be an activist (her "wife" is said to be one, although never named). A photo of "wife" is the butch of the pair. Not that that matters to anyone but me, as I try to always figure this part out.
For her "wife" to say "she's new here and knows no one"...and cannot handle calling her "wife's" family identifies them as "new here" and not residents.
reddit is, of course, in a total uproar and one sided. NY Post is telling it how it happened. TMZ now has commenters screaming Nazi.

Minnesota Statutes § 609.02, subd. 6 defines a "dangerous weapon" as any device designed as a weapon and capable of producing death or great bodily harm, or any other device or instrumentality that, in the manner it is used or intended to be used, is calculated or likely to produce death or great bodily harm.Vehicles routinely qualify under this when weaponized (e.g., accelerating toward a person).
Minnesota Statutes § 609.066 governs peace officers' use of deadly force and defines "deadly force" as force that the actor uses with purpose of causing, or should reasonably know creates a substantial risk of causing, death or great bodily harm.This aligns with civilian self-defense under § 609.065 (justification in defense of person/property), allowing reasonable deadly force against perceived imminent threat.
Posted by: sven at January 07, 2026 07:38 PM (MUJd1)
The Minnesota Supreme Court explicitly ruled in State v. Blevins (2024) that a vehicle can constitute a dangerous weapon under § 609.02 if its use is "likely to produce" death or great bodily harm, regardless of the driver's specific intent to cause harm.
The court rejected arguments that controlled operation (e.g., not full-speed ramming) prevents classification.
This upheld charges like second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon (§ 609.222) or first-degree assault (§ 609.221) involving vehicles.
Other cases (e.g., appellate decisions on vehicular assault) consistently treat cars as dangerous weapons in contexts like drive-by threats, ramming officers, or fleeing while endangering lives.
You're welcome counselor.

"Biden" Signed an Executive Order Relieving "Day Cares" of the Need to Provide Verification of Their "Enrollees"
This is intentional. This is the deliberate enabling of fraud. This is conspiracy.Why would there be an urgent need to send out $56 billion for "day care" during the "height of covid," when 80% of the population was under orders to remain at home? Yes, some people needed day care because Democrats also shut down the schools, and they were considered "essential workers." But this would still mean that most children were now at home with their imprisoned parents. Only a fraction would need day care.
The Biden administration didn't require verification that kids were attending child care centers before sending them as much as $19 billion in federal funding, a stunning oversight the Trump administration is trying to reverse. Trump Health and Human Services officials announced Monday it would restore "attendance-based billing" and reverse a Biden-era practice of states paying the child care centers without proper checks, the Post can exclusively reveal. The President Biden rule took effect on April 30, 2024, meaning more than $19.3 billion in taxpayer dollars over 20 months may have been spent before President Trump could correct provisions that could have prolonged massive day care fraud in Minnesota. "Congress appropriated this funding to support working families and ensure children have safe places to grow and learn," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said.
U.S. President Joe Biden speaking from the Oval Office with the American flag and the Presidential Seal visible behind him. 7
"Loopholes and fraud diverted that money to bad actors instead. Today, we are correcting that failure and returning these funds to the working families they were meant to serve." Between 2021 and 2024, the Administration for Children and Families shelled out more than $91.8 billion from its Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), a federal block grant program that helps fund child care in states, US territories and tribes, per HHS data. A whopping $56 billion went out the door just in 2021, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Welcome to the party, pal! You can't just be realizing this, can you? It was obvious to The Blade from the get. You can't pull off a $10B fraud in one city, using a comically crude facade that anyone with any brains could easily have exposed, and not have very deep (and wide) participation by government actors.
I'll say it again: covid was a trillion+ dollar deliberate transfer of wealth from taxpayers to Democrap constituencies.
And it ain't just Somali daycare centers. All the politically connected were in on it. Manufacturing masks and testing kits at 100x the price and just sending in phony invoices.
Two guys in my car community had small testing-kit companies. During covid, they went from driving 3-series BMWs to million-dollar Ferraris and Lamborghinis. One of them sold the business for over $200M.
And the All-Time OG of covid wealth transfer, the phony vaccines.
We were all suckers for not having our beaks at the trough. I wish I could do it again.

Any amount of spending of any size should have at least 3 sets of eyes on it. Not because "we won't be nosy", but because that's the *prudent* way to run a business and the prudent way to run a government, and because every dollar that gets WASTED or STOLEN is a dollar that can't go to whatever our "great cause" might be (even if that cause is corporate profits--those are necessary). So here's the levels of review that should accompany any organization of any monetary size:
1) INTERNAL AUDIT: Its awesome that an organization wants to do great things. But there needs to be an internal arm of the organization that makes sure that mission is working as intended. As such, an Internal Audit will review the organizations "Policies" (what we do), "Procedures" (here's how we do it), and "Internal Controls" (what checks/balances are in place to let us know if we messed something up?). So Internal Audit reviews Policies, Procedures, & Internal Controls and then makes its report to Management and the Board of Directors. Management then makes recommendations on what things need to be changed, and the Board ratifies the changes.

2) CPA FIRM'S REVIEW OF BOOKS:
Any entity of any size should employ an outside CPA firm to prepare (at a minimum) their end of year books (and most likely their quarterly ones as well. To properly prepare the books, one can't simply much around in the accounting systems. Instead one has to pull Policies, Procedures, and Internal Controls and confirm that what has been INPUT into the accounting systems is 1) Accurate; and 2) Complete. The process of confirming the data will require multiple uses of "statistical sampling" to ensure that the financial numbers that are ultimately asserted accurately reflect the state of the entity. Once the various sampling processes are complete, the CPA firm can confidently attest to the accuracy of the books.

It's been completely reduced.

Now, clawing back the money and throwing people in jail for doing it...well, the MN USA has been at work since August and announced that the first set of indictments he was bringing about 4 weeks ago were the first in a very large wave.
Also, there's a solid chance that Walz stepped down from running for re-election because he got a targeting letter from the DOJ informing him that he was the subject of a criminal investigation.

And he should. Basically Blackrock and others are screwing up the home market using under prime financing and their treasury window to out compete prospective home buyers by paying cash.
They don't maintain the homes properly, aim at getting direct Section 8 money and other subsidized housing for the left's pets, and overall treat their renters like dirt.
The goal behind home ownership is that people vested in their property take care of it, become more involved in the local community, and support private property in general.
Renters, by and large don't do those things. Home versus where you live at.

3) EXTERNAL AUDIT:
With the exception of an entity that operates in a UNREGULATED INDUSTRY, there will be one of more state or Federal agencies that will also perform periodic evaluations of any organization of size. The process will be very similar to the "Internal Audit" process described above, but will also address things like the independence of the Board, the independence of the Internal Audit program, and other such niceties (you'd be amazed what kind of relationships you can dig up at your local courthouse, and External Auditors include such field activities in the scope of their work).

But their influence is over blown. They own less than 1% of single family homes in the country. They own a lot. But given the tens of millions of homes in existence it’s a drop in the bucket.
Plus it’s not like all those homes will now suddenly become owner occupied. They’ll just be sold to other investors, who are not “institutional” investors. Nothing will really chance on the ground.
It’s not a bad thing to have single family homes available for rent. Not everyone who rents wants to live in an apartment.

Thousands and thousands of AWFLs hired for do-noting jobs in government agencies.
Thousand and thousands of "studies" degrees with 2.0 GPAs given cush government jobs.
Jobs you'll never even get considered for but you will pay for no matter how qualified you are.

A video came out where Ellison was telling his Somali peeps that he had their back.
Brave AI summary,
"Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is facing scrutiny over a 2021 audio recording in which he met with members of the Somali community who were later convicted of defrauding millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through the "Feeding Our Future" program, a scandal estimated to involve up to $250 million.
In the recording, obtained by Fox News, individuals later convicted in the fraud scheme discuss securing more government funding and making campaign donations, with one stating the importance of “putting our dollars in the right place” to protect their interests. Ellison responded, “That’s right,” during the conversation."

The argument is that if the government doesn't pay for it these women will have to stay home and raise their own kids.
Now, even at the middle class level it is only a slight bonus financially if a woman with young kids works outside the home. Yes if you are a lawyer or a tech-bro-ette then sure you make enough to easily pay for daycare.
But at lower economic levels this is fundamentally stupid. The kids would probably be better off at home with mom and so would the economy. As a way to think about it...imagine if FedGov argued it was too hard for working moms to cook and so instead gave everyone a voucher to McDs.

For example, remember the Afghan refugee that got shot by the cops last spring? If you watch the video a cop pulled him over and tried taking with him politely for 5 minutes just trying to get the guy to give his ID even though the Afghan was fiddling with a gun the whole time
The Afghan didn't get shot until he drew the gun and tried to shoot the cop...

The left was able to fold George Floyd into the narrative of institutional racism in America which got stoked and fed by the media in an already crazy year where everyone was inside because of covid.
Helped in no small part by the image of the officer kneeling on Floyd's neck, it was an easy image to rally around, no matter the details.
Here, instead, we have video of a woman trying to run down a federal agent in her expensive white SUV and getting her comeuppance.
The media may try to carry water for it, but there's no way it has the same power, or anything close to it, that Floyd was able to over the population.

Ethiopian food is underrated. Great flavors, but it's presentation sucks and not using forks or utensils is weird to Americans.
Despite the pillow-biting mayor's grimacing, Somali food is actually good too. It's closer to Italian food (yes, that Italy) than most people think. But it too suffers from presentation.

No, the fraud is that THOSE KIDS NEVER EXISTED.

Stop believing all of the sob stories and the "statistics" on kids without lunch or breakfast, and how poor Americans are and how many need help taken from your wallet. It's primarily bullcarp.

People going to jail for non-trivial amounts of money are rare and likely more importantly, the LIVs never see their taxes go down because of a successful crack down on fraud.

Agree. It's not the best shooting ever, but clearly she was aggressive, not obeying, and would have run that guy over. FAFO. I also wonder what happened before the vid began. Her car is at an odd angle, almost facing the wrong way, and the officers are already screaming at her to get out. I strongly suspect she already tried to ram them but failed, so the officers were already very suspicious.

Just watched that, then replayed the critical moment several times. In all honesty it doesn't look good for the ICE agent who opened fire. He placed himself in front of the car after it was in motion, and had ample time to move out of the way. Also shooting a driver of a moving car doesn't stop it in its tracks like in video games. Unfortunately in this climate ICE has zero room to make unforced errors like this.

_________________________________
Not a great example. Roads are primarily built and maintained by taxes tacked onto gasoline purchase. The real gripe now is those driving EV's not contributing to that tax, but enjoying the roadways. Which merely means they are going to end up being taxed another way (per mile is my guess) eventually.
As for education. Education is guaranteed and mandatory, and and educated public (in theory) is a better public. SUBSIDIZED DAYCARE, on the other hand is just the result of poor planning on behalf of the parents. If they can't afford to stay at home with the new one, or can't afford daycare while they work...then having a kid was a poor personal decision that shouldn't be passed onto the taxpayer.

Looks like twice. First in front of the vehicle and second alongside. We also do not see due to vantage point whether another ICE officer was downfield. Door was open on another vehicle which she narrowly avoids.
BTW, once you try to run over a cop on slippery streets while fleeing, you are now a fleeing felon where lethal force can be used to stop you. Both shots occurred in about two seconds.
See TN v. Garner. Her case was a misdemeanor until she almost runs over the ICE guy in front of her. And she did almost do that on a slippery street where that cop could have easily slipped in that split second.
Cars are considered lethal weapons btw and doing stupid shit like trying to flee with them to avoid being deported, getting a ticket or other stupid shit means you are playing stupid games and you win stupid prizes.
Watched it about six to seven times.

This is incorrect thinking. If the first one was justified, she attempted to murder them. At that point, if she does not surrender get out car, she is attempting to esacpe and deadly force is justified to effect arrest.

Poor analogy. The government has to build/maintain roads and collect taxes for it, because each road traverses numerous properties. There is no practical way to do this privately.
Privately funded education was the norm in this country until the early 1900s, and worked well. Literacy was much higher before government schools started. Nothing says that some tax money shouldn't go to poor kids for private schooling....vouchers. But there is no reason schools need to be government run. .

Not a great example.
Posted by: Orson
------------
Also roads are a form of commons, and they require some form of sovereign power to create. You can't just privatize all land and let people fight it out like some extreme libertarians suggest. Someone has to do it and so if falls on government. (there is a lot more here, but I don't want to give a lecture.)
Schools are not like that -- anyone can teach or raise their own kids. Yes, society has an interest in a well educated populace, but that is another matter.

She disobeyed a lawful order.
Yes, they can use lethal force if necessary to cause compliance with a lawful order.
They're going to go hard on claiming that the order to exit the car wasn't lawful.
They'll lose.
If you're getting cuffed, and you swing at the cop with a knife, and he dodges, then shoots you, you don't get to claim the fact that he dodged your knife voids the lawful order.

One of the amusing things about bodycam footage when the idea was originally proposed it was generally anti-police orgs in favor and pro-police orgs opposed.
Everyone expected it would show massive police criminality.
Not that no bad cop has been caught this way but in most cases the video seems to be bolster police officer's stories. And thinking it through, it is a good thing that the public can see what our public servants are doing in our name...so can we get these on IRS bureaucrats, ATF agents, etc?

Occurred in two seconds total. Things move a lot faster when you are in the line of fire.
And btw, the federal agent is not required to remove himself, she is required to stop and trying to run him down makes her a fleeing felon.
Stupid yters tell people to do stupid things with the police.
You comply, period, you do what they say, period, and you take your fight to court. You do not do stupid things in the present of police officers.
You do not have to consent with police searches and shouldn't. You do not have to consent with field sobriety tests, and you do not have to consent to speak to them. But if they choose, you cannot use force to try to escape the trip downtown. They either have probable cause to stop you or they don't.
If they do, then whatever you say or do becomes unlawful resisting of arrest, obstructing law enforcement, etc. and other charges. Try to flee by running over an officer who is not required to get out the way by any law during a stop, you become a forcible felon.

Stupid people watch stupid videos on TikTok and YT to learn how to be stupid with the cops.
Whatever shit they do on the side of the road or on the street, you have to take it and fight another day in court where they can't shoot or maim you.
I had no patience for the sidewalk lawyer types when teaching criminal procedure.
I told them they did not have to speak and better that they did not other than id'ing themselves, they do not have to consent to searches. But trying to flee, any physical touching of officers, being belligerent as I know muh rights, and other stupidity could warrant a death sentence for them right there and right now.
Best to be a live dog in a courtroom arguing over probable cause than be a dead one on the side of the road.
Ironically, some of the law enforcement types in my classes got upset that I told students that they did not have to speak, consent to searches, etc. and that I was anti-cop because I discussed cases where Scotus said the cops got it wrong. Others thought I was too pro police when I discussed cases where the perp did not fare well in court or got deaded.

A Trans "Woman" Beats His Pud In the Planet Fitness Woman's Bathroom; Planet Fitness Throws Out The Actual Woman Who Reported the Public Masturbator, Let the Public Masturbator Stay
The very obvious man pounded it out like he was John Bonham playing Kashmir at Wembley.
The male public masturbatior jerked off openly with women present. When one woman reported him to the staff, they kicked her out of the Planet Fitness and let the sex criminal stay. Because he's "transgender" and so he's allowed to pull his dick like choad-flavored taffy. The mentally-ill man and sex predator was in a stall, but you could see what he was doing in the shadows beneath him. It's obvious he's jerking off. Either that or he's trying to start an outboard motor he keeps on his belt. Planet Fitness instructs its female clients to show "understanding" towards publicly-masturbating men invading their private spaces.This took place near San Francisco -- of course. A place called Concord.
The girl who filmed the video of a man m*sturbating in the women’s bathroom in Planet Fitness says the workers did nothing…

Well, sort of. California requires women to share intimate spaces with mentally-ill men, yes -- but I'm pretty sure that they haven't yet taken the step of making it official that transgenders are allowed to publicly masturbate in women's rooms next to women and girls.
Public masturbation is illegal, or men in women's rooms (or anywhere else) can masturbate publicly. Pick one.

Planet Fitness did not actually "kick out" the woman who complained. She left of her own volition (as she herself described in a recent video). But ye, Planet Fitness did NOTHING to penalize the jerkin' tranny, nor did they call the police.
Planet Fitness therefore needs to be boycotted into bankruptcy.

Planet Fitness staff shall strive to address transgender members with names, titles, pronouns, and other terms consistent with their self-reported gender identity, if reasonably known to the Planet Fitness staff.
- For Example
-- A transgender woman shall be referred to by her preferred name and female pronouns
-- A transgender man shall be referred to by his preferred name and male pronouns
Planet Fitness reserves the right to terminate a person's membership immediately for any violation of this policy.
That policy applies to the STAFF. It does NOT apply to the customers ("members") and yet they're saying that they can terminate a person's membership (ie, a customer's) if the policy is violated.
Full Bud Light treatment entirely justified. Planet Fitness is ASSHOE.

I’ve seen the video, and it’s clear what she was doing. I’m NB...Having been in enough truck stop bathrooms myself throughout my travels with IBS, I know a wank-shadow when I see one. Whether she has a penis or vagina, she got caught rubbing one out. It happens.
Do I get slightly annoyed when the person in the stall next to me is having a go at it? Kinda, I guess. I don’t see it as harassment, nor do I think their sexuality or gender identity is relevant. But I have headphones and my mask on, so I create my own barriers if a stall wall isn’t enough.
That being said, there are plenty of voyeuristic videos of guys catching each other jacking it in stalls that get posted to porn sites (holding the phone camera above/below the stall walls). So, we violate and inconvenience each other in many ways. I support floor to ceiling stalls.
I get what people are saying that “It’s not transphobic to call it out”, but it’s being called out because of transphobia. The fact that we’re “condemning” it, when there’s a high likelihood that the men’s locker room has had a guy jerking it at one point is the transphobia.

Auditor's report - surprise! - seems to confirm rampant, blatant, crude criminal corruption in administration of state funds. Was obvious the type/scale of looting going on at Somali and other "non-profits" required collusion, this seems to be first concrete evidence thereof.
Oh - and local idiots in Mpls obstructing federal immigration actions, local "police"* doing nothing. Haven't perused latest "court" rulings on use of NG, but umm.

The blast -- caused by the detonation of approximately 429 tons of explosive (including bombs, depth charges, and ammunition) -- on the Liberty ship SS E.A. Bryan, killed 320 people including sailors, merchant seamen, and civilians, and injured 390 others.
The explosion, which registered 3.4 on the Richter scale, was felt as far as 50 miles away and destroyed two ships, the SS E.A. Bryan and the SS Quinault Victory.
The incident is recognized as the largest homefront disaster of World War II (and frequently cited as "the deadliest incident involving black service members in a single event during the war").

Planet Fitness was weird before they decided to embrace Tranny Tyranny. They claim to be a judgment free zone, but they are openly disdainful of gymbros and gymrats. They used to have a bowl full of Tootsie Rolls or Frooties at the front desk. They also used to have free pizza on Mondays. That ended with Covid.
The vast majority of their equipment is cardio, which isn't too different than some other gyms. The machines they have are low quality and max out easily for most reasonably strong people. Until VERY recently, you couldn't find many plates and the only bars they had were smith machines. I've seen some videos online that show a few PF gyms are starting to stock weight plates.
The lunk alarm famously gets used to shame anyone who makes any noise. I have mixed feelings about this. People who slam their weights or make orgasm sounds when lifting are super annoying. But it's not a library, so some noise is fine.

Absolutely true. The entire gay culture is based on insanely promiscuous sex (often in groups), no monogamy at all, and heavy drug use.
The party-boy gays I know can line up a dozen sex partners in a weekend, with barely any effort. Just a few clicks on an app or 5 minutes in a gay-friendly club.
The vast majority of gays are not like heteros. Even the most successful hetero Chads and Tyrones aren't getting as much sex as the average gay guy.

I have no idea how it is now, but it used to be that the gym business model was to sign people up any way they could and then balance the hassle of canceling a membership against the cost of dues/fees.
I was good friends with the business/sales manager at my very nice gym through the 1990s. She told me that they voluntarily capped their membership at 50x of what they estimated for facility capacity if every member used the gym daily.
The only time the gym ever felt crowded was the first two weeks of the year and the two weeks after the first really nice spring day. The bulk of their revenue came from non-active paying members.
My point is that the best way to fuck over Planet Fitness may be to go after inactive paying members by helping them navigate membership cancellation.

Some people will argue that it's a locker room and you should get over seeing nudity there. Sure, it's fine to be nude in the locker room for a few minutes. When you're changing, taking a shower, or in transit between those two areas. Otherwise, put some damn clothes on.

Depends. I have been listening to a lot of Who live shows that have been released lately. Keith was on another planet doing shit that neither Bonham nor Peart could do because they were not batshit insane.
Keith hated playing the song the same way twice and part of that is why Roger hated Pete's later work which relied on synthesizers. Keef had to wear headphones to a click track (first) and then later to the recorded synth which constrained his ability to follow either John, Keith, or Roger.
Pete, as the composer as much as musician, disliked Keith and John going freeform because he felt that he had to play rhythm simply to keep time for the band. I think, in part, Pete used the synths to constrain the Keith and John to its timing.
Try watching the Who's Isle of Wight live show, better than Zep at its best. The new extended release of Live at Leeds also show the Who at its peak.
Also hilarious but wicked, Keef playing drums in the Who's Quick One While He's Away at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.

Back in the 00s there was a humorous gay conservative local talk radio show host in SoCal named Al Rantel.
He explained it thusly: men's sexual nature and drive are generally analogous to a vehicle's accelerator -- while women's are generally analogous to a vehicle's brake.
The problem with gay men -- whether as a couple or group -- is that sex is all accelerator and no brake.

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes. It's murder!
They want protests and they should absolutely get it. This is terrorism plain and simple.
It's not protests that "they" want. It's a civil war. And so many of our "countrymen" would prefer violent anarchy over having to pay child support, or their truck loan, or whatever
My landlord just mass texted this, sharing here in case anyone is in the area to observe and record/document
ICE ALLERT: SHOTS FIRED and PEOPLE TRAPPED IN CAR, 32ND AND CHICAGO. Need more people there for observers if you are rapid response.
Now that Walz is free to do whatever, I’d love it if he sent the state police to round up every ICE person in the state. Including the puppy killer if she steps foot in the state. Charge them with treason and murder.
The cruelty is the point. ICE doesn't care about your health or your rights, they are power tripping wannabe soldiers who relish hurting people and separating families.

Recording in the studio, Glyn Johns mentioned when miking Keith's drums, you simply aimed at having the mikes survive the recording session rather than placement as much.
A lot of dispute in the musical world comes from who is the technical master of the instrument and who is the best person to play that role in a particular band to make it great. Keith could not play in another band probably and make the grade because his technique inevitably Whoized the song. You can tell that from Pete's demos to the actual Who recording. Sometimes Pete's demos are better than the Who version because of the excess. Sometimes transformed by the band---The Real Me is an example--Pete's demo is kind of jazzy and light, the Who's recorded version is John and Keith competing to get to the finish line first with the honors. Roger and Pete stay out of their way.

Wednesday Morning Rant
That oil has a common destination: Red China, and it serves a purpose beyond that country's endless need for energy. As everyone knows, Red China has numerous major projects throughout the world, using infrastructure and development deals in pursuit of its diplomatic objectives as its global reach continuous to expand. It has found a willing partner in Maduro's Venezuela, and Red Chinese investment has flooded into Venezuela over the years. Red China, however, doesn't usually extend credit for these projects willy-nilly and there is often security involved. In Venezuela's case, that security is oil.
So what happens now that this oil supply is threatened? Not only have the initial US actions against Venezuela's "dark fleet" threatened oil shipments to Red China, the US raid on Venezuela has caused them to essentially stop. Venezuelan state-owned oil company PDVSA's primary external partner - Chevron - has resumed oil shipments, but per recent shipping data, none of those shipments are flowing to the Orient. PDVSA's production continues to fall and its exports to Asia - which is to say, its exports to Red China - are in free-fall. This poses a problem for Red China, which has major investments in Venezuela backed by oil-for-loans deals between those two countries. Red China invests in Venezuela's infrastructure (and gains an important foothold in this hemisphere and a means to coordinate and enable trade with major partners), and protects its capital exposure by using oil as security. With the oil trade between the two countries now collapsing, risk is back in a big way. Red China has now demanded that its major lenders assess their exposure to Venezuela and determine their risks in the new environment:The National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) also advised banks to strengthen risk monitoring of all Venezuela-related credit, seeking to assess potential dangers to China's lenders, the report added.I have no idea if any banks in Red China are going to collapse if (likely when) Venezuela defaults and PDVSA can't ship oil to cover the shortfall, but Red China's regulators are trying to find out. There is a ton of exposure to Venezuela and the odds of repayment - and of non-capital diplomatic and geopolitical power returns - on their major capital investment is now very much in question. So are other Chinese investments in other Latin American countries like Cuba, which may collapse on their own absent Venezuela as a backer. All of Red China's investments in Venezuela and Cuba, and some of its investments elsewhere in Latin America, could end up being total losses for Red China's lenders, and that may be a major blow. Time will tell. No wonder Red China has been so loud about this action as, per Reuters, it "tests [the] limits of China's diplomatic push." That may be putting it mildly. Many of America's rivals and enemies have capital or operational exposure to Venezuela, but Red China leads the pack. Red China's external noise masks its internal scrambling to determine just how much exposure it has to Venezuela - and underscores how big a blow toppling Maduro may have been.
...
The Bloomberg report said the NFRA's move highlights growing concerns among regulators over potential shocks to the banking sector as geopolitical risks mount. Billions in loans have been extended over the past decade by China to the South American country, primarily led by policy banks such as China Development, the report added.

The problem for China is that our politicians don't stay bought. Plus, Trump needs nothing from Congress on foreign affairs to f@ck China up pretty severely. Existing authority under law and the Constitution relegate Congress to the bleachers. They don't even have funding over the Defense Dept either. NDAA runs for two years and was just passed in December.

Blacks are traumatized by their own genetics? The list is so insane -- and odd -- that I find it hard to believe even DEI morons came up with it.
This was made by retarded AI, right? Or this is an op to get non-blacks to think blacks are retarded slothful deadbeats?
I think the tell is that white supremacy was put in scare quotes, as if even the authors don't really believe it's a thing.

And like the US largesse back in the day on foreign aid, the Chicoms are finding that it doesn't buy the love of the local populace because Chicoms are asshoes, the foreigners can't maintain the systems so they don't pay back the loans, and the overall quality of these large infrastructure projects sucks. I think that initiative failed on multiple levels. The high speed railway system in Kenya is an amusing example.

military reporters have stated that china's timeline to be ready to do that is 2027. They're apparently already building the giant landing craft they would need for a large scale island invasion. That's why the US stopping Venezuelan oil from reaching China is a big deal.
This is a case of "might makes right", unfortunately. We do it because we *can*. I don't personally agree with it, but the main question is "who can stop us?"
For China...The US *can* stop them, and likely will if it's seen by the administration to be in our interest.
"International law" was never a real thing. It's just a polite veneer various power blocs use to keep rogue states, (which are states that deliberately choose not to fall in line with the power structure) from getting to big for their britches or rocking the boat to much (i.e. getting nukes).

This idea that China was just looking for international law excuses to take over Taiwan always amuses me.
They've been flaunting international law regarding their artificial island creation and fishing fleet behaviors for years.
The only reason they haven't invaded Taiwan is because they didn't think they could pull it off, that either the logistics of the actual action were too great or that the reaction would be too strong to hold back.
Running to the UN after invading Taiwan, destroying who knows how much infrastructure and manufacturing capability of things like super conductors in the process, and then saying "Trump took Maduro" would convince no one not already on China's side.

Arguably none. But if it doesn't cost Trump anything, he will simply announce it after the fact.
Basically most if not all presidents have claimed the War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional (dunno about Biden or Obama). But they have more or less complied with the reporting requirements to keep the peace. Ultimately, both Congress and the President have avoided testing the constitutionality in court (if teh court would even accept the case under the political question doctrine).

EU versus NATO shows the two faces of Euroland where the EU says US bad and NATO says please defend us is probably coming to an end. I think part of why Trump wants Euroland to meet NATO spending guidelines is so that the US can withdraw over time. The silly EU loan to Ukraine while we are down to basically no spending on Ukraine is a sign that Trump is cutting Euroland, if not specific Euro countries like Poland, Hungaria, etc. adrift.
He ignored them on Iran and Gaza as well.

"International law" was never a real thing. It's just a polite veneer various power blocs use to keep rogue states, (which are states that deliberately choose not to fall in line with the power structure) from getting to big for their britches or rocking the boat to much (i.e. getting nukes).

Nothing.
The answer has always been "nothing", and always will be "nothing". But with one huge asterisk: whatever one does comes with *consequences*.
The US did what it did with Venezuela because it determined it could live with the consequences. I'm not sure China can make the same determination with regard to Taiwan.
But the correct answer is still "nothing".

Diplomacy always has to have real military power to back the check as an enforcement of agreements. Basically a credit line on a country's real influence on the rest of the world.
Neo Realist Kenneth Waltz (disciple of Hans Morgenthau who described realism), more or less says at the end of the day, power (economic and military) are what determines what international law is in practice.
Kantian moralism, if it is publicly cited, always ends up being a facade for realism in action.

With Biden, they knew exactly what would happen - nothing.

I think the speed of which Ukraine v. Russia has become a war of drones has shocked the military planners across the globe. We simply do not know how Chinese ships, for example, can fend off a bunch of cheap, kamikaze drones. Without the ships, there can be no invasion of Taiwan.
The relative success of missile defense of Israel also means that China's plan for massive missile bombardment might not work either absent a physical invasion.
Now throw in Japan, US military, the vulnerability of 3 Gorges Dam, the uncertainties of a massive amphibious assault, whether the absence of Taiwan causes a worldwide depression in economics hurting China's exports, and so on makes it less likely over time.
Military planners hate uncertainty, the only joker in the deck is whether Xi wants to roll the dice with only a small chance of success for his legacy or whether the uncertainties lead him to stick with the longer time span of trying to corrupt Taiwan from within.

You think so? I'd argue it only exists to allow powerful countries to do what their leaders want. If the EU wants to import millions of 3rd world invaders, against the will of the people, "international law" is a piece of the propaganda campaign to justify it. If they want to bomb Libya, or intervene in the breakup of Yugoslavia, powerful nations can use international law as a pretext. But, if the law didn’t exist, they could (and would) just do it anyway. When has a powerful country relented to a weaker one on something important just because of international law? I can think of plenty of examples where the opposite (powerful nations ignoring the law) occurred.

I don't think China is "trying" to corrupt Taiwan from within. They are succeeding. They already have important politicians and company boards in their pocket.
Apart from the payoffs, Taiwan is an odd country, in some ways like Uke. There's a substantial percentage of Taiwan citizens who identify more as Chinese than Taiwanese, and don't have bad feelings about the CCP like older generations did. That, and there's been a lot of interbreeding between Taiwan citizens and Chinese citizens.

Overlord succeeded because it had control of the air and managed to prevent large enough breaches of opsec regarding the target and timing so that the invasion could be launched. Chicoms will not be able to hide massing thousands of troops and ships for the invasion.
If the initial attack, as believed, is cyber, missiles, and space, including US and Japanese assets in the Pacific, that has to succeed first like in Pearl Harbor. Even then suddenly the Chicoms have to protect their own fleet as it makes it way across the sea for 81-140 miles to a small number of beaches capable of landing troops (much of Taiwan's coasts are rocky cliffs).
They can't pull it off without both naval and air supremacy and there is reason to believe neither can occur with much chance of success.
Adding drones into the issue make even air and naval supremacy much less likely. Ukraine has exhibited successful underwater drones and so also air drones that can work below any jet canopy above.

Don't overexaggerate their strengths and I noticed you ignored the whole issue of drones. Simply put, that is a revolution in the field of arms that no one really knows exactly how it will change the battlefield. Likewise missile defense.
AH Lloyd is the resident expert here on Chinese military and like the vast Soviet Army poised to invade Europe, the leaders blinked even with the Soviet Union was about to collapse, because the risks could not be justified. The only question is whether Xi feels really lucky because he and his are likely to be dead if he is wrong--not necessarily by us, but by his own commanders.
The failure of the Venezuelan military is an example; Xi spends more time worrying about whether the military is loyal to him. Reliability politically by dividing power, shifting commanders, etc. inevitably compromises performance in combat.

Never mentioned is what the Chinese use for power when the sun and wind aren't cooperating.

I think it is beyond the power of the repressive apparatus now, either they are chastened, divided, or defecting. That means mullahs has to call upon the army or foreign mercenaries like the remaining fighters of Hezbollah, etc. to repress the people.
I think the army, which has to be armed, is just as likely to defect to the protests which leaves mullahs with no choice but to flee. I am guess they are trying to ride it out, maybe with a sacrificial fleeing of Khameini and a new governing structure dangled as bait.

The Bears are surely just posturing for public money to fund a new stadium for billionaires and multi-millionaires. Which they probably will get. Although, the current political climate is now much more skeptical of these kinds of corporate-welfare sweetheart funding deals.

HOLY CR*P 🚨 Heritage Foundation exposes Hugo Chavez was working with Nicolas Maduro to fund political decent in America, and provided the money TO START BLACK LIVES MATTER
Hugo Chavez gave one of the founders of Black Lives Matter a million dollars FOR STREET PROTESTS IN AMERICA
After receiving the money, just months later BLM was founded and started creating unrest in America
BLM directly works with Democrats, even using their ActBlue
That means the regimes in Cuba and Venezuela worked with Democrat operatives and organizations to fund chaos and protests in America
INSANE. The Democrat Party is literally working to bring down America [. . . ]

But, like Sinema before him, voting record means shit when you occasionally make mouth noises against Leftist shibboleths. For Sinema, it was trans. For Fetterman, it's Israel and insisting that the left stop calling Republicans Nazis.

I think it is beyond the power of the repressive apparatus now, either they are chastened, divided, or defecting. That means mullahs has to call upon the army or foreign mercenaries like the remaining fighters of Hezbollah, etc. to repress the people.
I think the army, which has to be armed, is just as likely to defect to the protests which leaves mullahs with no choice but to flee. I am guess they are trying to ride it out, maybe with a sacrificial fleeing of Khameini and a new governing structure dangled as bait.

Yep. Which is why I think that the mullahs, in order to maintain some power, are going to have to sacrifice Khameini and float some kind of power sharing new arrangement.

Their ability to cheat isn't magic and automatic. It requires work, processes, and leniency from other power centers, including the RNC.
The RNC actually fought back for a couple of years leading up to 2024, enough to prevent enough fraud.
Plus, the fraud of 2020 was off the charts. The mass mail in voting craze accounted for a lot, and that got pulled back heavily by the time 2024 came around.

The rest of the country went back to regular voting methods instead of masses of mail in ballots in 2020. Mail in ballots are the easiest form to cheat elections with and that is why no other sane democracy allows them to be a general voting method.

I think they went in thinking they could steal and candidate didn't matter
But that's the 64 thousand dollar question - what went wrong for them? I have heard that Trump's team took out their servers (Dominion) in Serbia, but that sounds made up to me. I have also heard hat Trump had a well organized team of lawyers preventing any shenanigans. I don't know. I want to believe it was prevented because Trump is on top of things and about to expose it all and pounce, but that sounds so much like a q-anon line that I think the answer has to be much simpler.

Dodge sold 61k Chargers and Challengers in 2024. Pretty solid numbers for a muscle car. And not only a lot of sales but yuuuge margins on each sale. So they decided to keep selling this money printing model right?
Nope.
For 2025 it was discontinued and replaced with an EV version. Total sales for 2025: 7,400. And to sell even this meager amount dodge discounted the piss out of them.

I think the sausage makers are adding filler or fake meat to the sausage.
I buy that sausage in the plastic sleeve for my breakfast burritos or sandwiches.
And ... I have to add some olive oil or butter to get enough fat to keep it from sticking.
Same if I'm making gravy, there's no where near enough drippings to make the rue.
Something's going on, it didn't always used to be that way; you should have a nice bit of grease from a proper sausage cook.
I can feel the fat in it when I make the patties.
But something is absorbing it all when it's cooking.

Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
Farmers have been breeding less fatty hogs for a long while now. They actually get a bonus for less fatty meat from slaughterhouses. So Ham, Bacon, etc. has less fat to meat ratios and that includes sausage.
But sausage itself has always been notorious for having cheap fillers, especially in bad economic times or war time rationing. Easiest product to adulterate.

Anyone in the media or the online world of 'influencers' gravitates toward negativity, chaos, and criticism. Because outrage sells better than good predictions. So you get Krugman's professional and totally idiotic take on the economy (Depression=GOP control) because it sells to dumb ass Dems that want comfort from their media. You get Rogan spouting off on Maduro because, well taking evil murderous thugs and trying them in court is, well, bad. You get Cucker Tarlson questioning whether the evil Joooos are behind every evil act and bringing guests on so he can 'question'. And so on. Old wise head takes by grumpy oldsters that there is nothing new under the sun, that Noriega set the precedents to go after Maduro, etc. etc. don't bring outrage clicks, fear clicks, and thus eyeballs to get paid.
Figure every media personality online or not trafficks in fear, uncertainty, doubt, and rage. Our job as consumers is to deflate the emotions and look at reality defined by a puzzle of different sources. Some people assemble puzzles better and faster than others.

Since runaway oil tanker MARINERA (formerly BELLA 1) has become a hot topic on this platform, it’s worth reiterating that the vessel isn't carrying any oil cargo. It never docked in Venezuela; it came from Iran. See map of its route over past 7 months. "
Looking at the map, the tanker actually went dark for 2 weeks. It may have made port in Venezuela. Decent likelihood it's carrying Venezuelan government and military personnel tied to Maduro.

Right after 1/6, with Trump at his absolute lowest point politically, the Senate only got 57 votes to convict him.
The idea that the Senate, which will definitely still be in GOP hands, will convict Trump of an impeachment in 2027 or 2028 is ludicrous, and people need to stop feeding this frenzy of fear around it.
Yes, if Dems take the House, they will try to impeach. No, the Senate will not convict. We've actually seen this play out twice before, and acting like next time, with the GOP more firmly behind him than the previous two times, it will lead to conviction is willful blindness.

Yep. Calling Yup'ik "Inuit" is like calling a Spaniard "French", just because they both speak Romance languages.
Might even get your ass kicked for that. Historically the two groups did not get along. Of course both groups hated the Indians ("Native Americans") with the burning fury of a thousand suns.
Where I live, the local Yup'ik (the Alutiiq, i.e., Eskimos) were genocided by the Denaʼina (i.e., Indians) before white people even showed up.

The Morning Report — 1/7/26
Good morning kids. The removal of Maduro from Venezuela certainly has our enemies and rivals around the globe siting up and taking notice. I would hope that both the President and his national security and foreign policy team including Hegseth and Rubio would have gamed out the aftermath of who would step into the breach to fill the void once we had taken down Maduro. While it's great that the Venezuelan people are cheering his removal, there is still this to contend with
Plain-clothes gunmen deployed by Venezuela’s leaders are walking the streets and stopping vehicles as they crack down on dissent and pro-American sentiment in the wake of the capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces. The paramilitary members, known as Colectivos, were out in full force on Tuesday as the pro-Maduro regime seeks to maintain control of the country following the surprise U.S. strikes over the weekend, The Guardian reported. Men armed with rifles set up checkpoints in the capital city of Caracas, where they stopped drivers to search their vehicles, phones, and personal belongings, looking for any evidence of support for the United States capturing Maduro, according to The Telegraph. Police, meanwhile, were instructed to “immediately begin the national search and capture of everyone involved in the promotion or support for the armed attack by the United States.”For better or worse, it will be up to the interim leader of Venezuela to disarm these militias assuming that he or she has the power and support of the nation's armed forces that until last weekend were under the control of Maduro and quite likely are still loyal to him. So, we now own this mess.
A classified U.S. intelligence assessment concluded that top figures within Nicolás Maduro’s regime would be best positioned to maintain short-term stability in Venezuela in the immediate aftermath of the dictator’s removal, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analysis, which was briefed to President Donald Trump and shared with a small circle of senior administration officials, reportedly shaped Trump’s decision to back Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, rather than opposition leader María Corina Machado as an interim leader, WSJ reported. “I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader if she doesn’t have the support within, or the respect within the country,” Trump said during a Saturday press conference after U.S. forces captured Maduro to face federal narco-terrorism charges in New York. “She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect.” (RELATED: Venezuelan Oil Could Make America ‘Master Of The Hemisphere’ If Trump’s Domination Continues)So, if all we did here was a little bit of Titanic deck chair rearrangement on the Lido Deck, then have we really accomplished anything? If we're concerned about maintaining the support of the military and ruling elites then I fear the question is rhetorical. Rodriguez has made some very nice pronouncements of looking forward to working with President Trump and forging a new relationship, for whatever that's worth. Meanwhile, halfway across the globe this is happening to one of Maduro's biggest backers and boosters, Iran. While the usual thugs in the IRGC and others are cracking down on the protesters and there have been reports of the Mullahs getting set to take it on the lam to Russia, here's a little bit of encouraging news:
Trump concluded that Venezuela’s short-term stability would depend on whether the next leader retained the loyalty of the country’s military and ruling elites, according to people familiar with the intelligence review cited by the outlet. Senior administration officials commissioned the CIA to analyze day-after scenarios amid internal debates over how Venezuela might be governed if Maduro were removed. While the report did not recommend regime change or speculate on how Maduro might lose power, it evaluated who could maintain order if that outcome occurred, WSJ reported.
The Iranian Police in Ilam have now joined the revolution. People are seen celebrating as police officers have put down their weapons and are cheering on the protestors.While the combined Israeli and USAF strike that took out the Iranian nuclear weapons sites as well as the collapsing Iranian currency and a catastrophic water crisis among the dissatisfaction with the regime that has been brewing for years might at long last bring it down. Of course considering the power of Iran's IRGC and that since 1979 it has become among the most repressive security states on the planet, to expect them to just give up power, especially to any non-Islamic forces of moderation, modernity and more western/secular oriented parties is wish-casting in the extreme. I hope and pray that the Persian and the Venezuelan people can somehow wrest control of their respective governments and prevent a collapsing of their societies back into tyranny and despotism. I certainly also hope we have a plan to help them that does not include the kind of intervention and adventurism that were the hallmarks of the disastrous globalist fever dream of Democracy Projects and nation-building. Closer to home, President Trump is looking ahead to the midterms, and with the sudden passing of California GOP congressman Doug LaMalfa at age 65, the GOP's House majority got that much slimmer, putting the MAGA legislative agenda in jeopardy. But that said, This is kind of disappointing.
The Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funds from being used for abortion. Trump told GOP House members during the retreat at the Trump-Kennedy Center that they should work to take the issue of health care away from Democrats. “We don’t have that as one of our issues. It’s the only thing they have. They’re lousy at it. They came up with Obamacare. We tried to fight it. We almost had it won, but we didn’t get three votes,” he said.Well, since when is infanticide "healthcare?" Yeah, I get it, healthcare and this "affordability" madness is an albatross being hung around the GOP's neck by the Dems and their propagandist cheerleaders. And I do agree about Obamacare, but certainly the Hyde Amendment and abortion in general must be be non-starters, or am I missing something? Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The loudest reporters, anchors, and pundits in the rest of the media don’t know — even the ones with the fancy anonymous sources who claim to be insiders, even the ones with the big names who get all the attention. None of them know. I'd also be willing to bet that inside the White House, they don't know exactly because extracting a complex and corrupt authoritarian regime that's been embedded for nearly three decades isn't a predictable operation and certainly not something that happens overnight. I'm sure there's an action for every predictable reaction planned, and Donald Trump is bold enough and Rubio is smart enough to execute it.

There's no such thing as a transsexual. The word is "gender", because what they're ostensibly changing is purely grammatical: what words they demand to be used to refer to them.
You can't make a man into a woman or vice versa. All you can do is tell stories with words.

Been reading and writing about this a lot - Trump was crude but corrrect; Machado does not have the respect of the current power structure in Venezuela, and at this point she would almost certainly be assassinated in 2 or 3 days by either the security forces or the Army if we tried to install her now. Where would that leave us?
The biggest goal is to reform Venezuela WITHOUT having to put 100,000 troops on the streets of Caracas. Nobody wants that; not us, and not them.

- They announce the presence of the submarine - something which just isn't done.
- Doing so indicates that they consider the tanker to be under Russian military protection.
- Attacking the tanker could, therefore, be considered an act of war against Russia.
Are they bluffing? Maybe. Is it worth it to find out? I think not.

That is the deep dark secret of the poverty class that really really pisses me off.
The poverty class (lower 1/5th) actually earns about the same as the lower middle class (next 2/5th) when combined with all of the sweet Big Govt $$$$.
The difference is the 2/5th work over 150 hours per month while the bottom 1/5th works about 40 hours per month.

First Lady said Doc didn't seem to concerned, since she'd recently had another surgery in that area and all, but I wouldn't expect a Dr. to show emotion early on, regardless.
She will go in, once contacted to schedule, for more scans of her bladder and kidneys to see if they find anything more serious.

I've been resisting retirement owing to fear of hyperinflation and eventual societal & economic collapse as the National Debt -- well over $300 trillion per GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which includes unfunded liabilities) -- continues to rise exponentially and likely will NEVER be paid off.
Finally going to pull the trigger next year and quit working; already planning a vacation to and tour of The Holy Land next October.
Over $3 million in assets and only about $75,000 in annual passive income. I may end up having to find and go back to work if hyperinflation ever hits and makes all of us equal in poverty (the Muslim Commie Marxist Mondami utopia).

But even in that scenario, the long term outlook for the Chavista regime is bad. Without foreign money or the ability to run Colombian blow, they can't really hold up for very long - they've already stripped all the wealth out of Venezuela itself. There's no use in being the ruling junta if you have to wallow in shit and eat stray dogs like the immiserated peasants.
So, my sneaking suspicion is this. We - the US taxpayers and our oil companies - will end up subsidizing the regime to maintain the status quo, which I don't think I *can* live with. If that's where we end up, I can understand the realpolitik argument for it. I'm a very pragmatic person.
But that pragmatism stops at bankrolling Communist regimes. That's a bridge too far. The thought of it makes my gorge rise.

Who owns Everpeak Hospitality?
Publicly available posts and discussions indicate that Everpeak Hospitality is owned by four partners associated with the Hilton/Hampton Inn franchise in Lakeville, Minnesota. These individuals are repeatedly named together as both the owners of the hotel’s LLC and of Everpeak Hospitality, the management company.
The four individuals most frequently cited as owners are:
Parmjit Singh
Amanpreet Hundal
Karandeep (Kenny) Nagra
Mohinderjeet (Dolly) Kaur
How this ownership is described
One widely shared post states that Everpeak Hospitality is “owned by the same owners of this franchise,” listing these four partners by name and noting that they acquired the Lakeville Hampton Inn via Lakeville Hotel LLC in 2025.
Another post similarly explains that these four individuals own Lakeville Hotel LLC, which bought the hotel, and that they “also own Everpeak Hospitality which is the management company running the hotel.”

HHS has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud.

ICE is fully funded through 2028 and the DOJ won't stop investigations if the House impeaches Trump (the Senate will never convict if they didn't right after 1/6, which they didn't).
The only thing slowing Trump down right now is...the Massie bill that requires more than 100 DOJ lawyers to review 5 million pages of documents related to Epstein to redact them in compliance with law.

Speaking of being on our side, do you know what the still understaffed DOJ is using hundreds of lawyers for instead of doing things like looking at fraud in Democrat states? Reviewing Epstein files before they can be released thanks to true patriots like Massie and MTG. One of the reasons it hasn't moved faster is because hundreds of the people who were not following the law have been fired or resigned and those positions take time to refill.
I'm well aware of the DOJs black box nature and have been saying for months that a grand jury has been called in the southern district of Florida to hear the conspiracy case against Trump this month. But usually elicits replies like nothing is happening.

IMHO, everything the Democrats have done the past 9 years is aimed not at attracting more voters, but keeping their base on-board and fired-up to donate and to turn-out to vote en masse when the whistle blows. They rely on fraud to overcome any vote shortfalls. Sure, they work to attract more suburban women and gullible LIVs with more and more freebies. I don't know how many more of those they gain year-by-over. I doubt it is millions per year nationwide.

Trump has been in office for less than a year and has faced unprecedented resistance to even getting his team in place not to mention constant subversion from a corrupt judiciary and I challenge you to find another administration that has done anything close to what has been already been accomplished.
The entire world power structure not just the US is fundamentally different today than it was on January 7, 2025. It's breathtaking how much has changed and continues to change on an almost daily basis and the pace is accelerating.
The DOJ just announced they are sending more prosecutors to MN and that is just the start. CA, OH, IL and NY are in the crosshairs as well. The things that have been started aren't going away. I'm gonna enjoy the ride.

No. I understand that public corruption is a fact of life in all times and places.
I argue that it's become so pervasive in our time and place that it's become an insurmountable political problem, and it can't be obviated within our existing structures. One way or another this government is going to fold. Either through overthrow, or collapsing under the weight of that corruption, or some combination thereof.

Runaway Venezuela-trading tanker Bella 1 painted a Russian flag on its hull, changed its name, and reflagged to Russia mid-voyage last week to avoid capture by the U.S. Coast Guard in the Atlantic Ocean
The vessel is owned by Louis Marine Shipholding Enterprises in Turkey, and its crew consists mainly of individuals from Russia, India, and Ukraine.
Some of the news accounts claim the ship was previously Marinera, changed to Bella 1.
Others claim was previously Bella 1, now Marinera.

Sorry, no. We don't. The Venezuelans own this mess. They wanted Chavez and Maduro as their leaders enough to allow them to seize and consolidate power, and a substantial number of them were willing to cheer on El Jefe when he poked the bear to the North who also happened to be the world's one remaining superpower.
They brought this upon themselves by being a Pee Wee League football team trying to take on the '72 Miami Dolphins.

I don't see the problem. Vulgar display of power, remove Maduro, encourage the remaining regime to liberalize.
It's long and slow but so is occupation and regime change. No Americans died, few Venezuelans died.
I liken this to Cambodia. Khmer Rouge remnants ran the country (and still do to this day) and slowly liberalized over the years without the need to nuke and pave the country. They're not a beacon of democracy but they're also no longer a Stalinist hell hole.

You could continue coverage before even with a new company when you changed jobs but there was a time limit. Maybe 3 months? The idea was if you had been covered, you could stay covered. The problem was it was expensive if you needed to maintain coverage beyond that 3 month window and people did with the Cobra plans. This allowed you to obtain coverage with a new company even when you were sick.

Daily Tech News 7 January 2026
Top Story
- AMD's VP of its client division has hinted that AM4 might see a return. (Tom's Hardware)
Socket AM4 runs on DDR4 memory, where AM5 is DDR5 only. And DDR4 memory hasn't increased in price as much as DDR5, but more importantly, people already have it.
Several AM4 chips are still in production, but some of AMD's most popular CPUs like the 5700X3D and 5800X3D were cancelled because the competed too well with newer models, while others like the 5600X3D and 5700G were never widely available in retail channels.
Don't expect anything actually new, but a return of the 5800X3D would be welcome.
- AMD also hinted at open-sourcing FSR4 upscaling. (Tom's Hardware)
They accidentally made the code public for a short ehile, which quickly led to experimental backports that supported RDNA3 and even RDNA2 graphics cards.
Tech News
- How about an overpriced keyboard for that new computer you can't build? The Asus ROG Falchion Ace 75 is a 75% mechanical keyboard for $219. (Tom's Hardware)
It's... Okay, I guess. It has the Four Essential Keys but that's no great achievement in a desktop keyboard. It has a "programmable touchbar" but that just means you can change what it does; you can't change the display.
- Corsair's Galleon 100 SD has a 1280x720 display. (Notebook Check)
Strange thing: It's another keyboard.
It's ten-keyless, which is to say, it has no numeric keypad.
But in its place it as twelve fully programmable keys - with LCD keycaps, the aforementioned 1280x720 display (I'm not sure it's really 1280x720 because the article also says it's a 5" screen and it's definitely not that big) and two small rotary dials. A mini Stream Deck built right into your keyboard.
At $350 it is very not cheap though. You can get 16GB of RAM for that. Or a Corsair TKL keyboard like the K70 and a Stream Deck.
- AMD has announced its P100 series of embedded Ryzen chips. (Serve the Home)
These are identical to existing Zen 5 desktop and laptop chips - including embedded version of the Strix Halo AI processer - but the family includes models rated for industrial and automotive conditions (-40C to 105C) and for operating 24/7 for ten years.
- WiFi 8 is at CES. (The Verge) (archive site)
It's no faster than WiFi 7 but is instead designed to be more reliable and use less power.
- Powerbanks got bedazzled. (The Verge) (archive site)
A righteous rant from The Verge about useless features ruining the functionality of what should be simple, inexpensive devices.

If AMD put out a 5900X3D or 5950X3D I'd probably buy one.
It's be a downgrade for me to go to a 5800X3D, but they are the best gaming CPU from AM4.
I like at least 12 cores for work stuff, so going down to 8 cores wouldn't be practical.
I doubt they'd add 3D V-Cache on to the dual CD model CPUs, though, as that'd be a lot of extra work for them, but the 5800X3D, along with its cut-down brothers the 5600X3D and 5700X3D, can be easily put back in production.

Then I had my Bible study with the dear folks at the Senior center. We talked about Epiphany and Matthew 2:1-12 and sang "We three kings". I had two new ladies attending- maybe because it was at 1:30 and not at 6:30. It was a blessed day!

Thanks, Skip. Yeah, I can catch up on sleep this pm and tonight. The surgical incision hurts a little when I move my face or eat, but I've had worse headaches. I am worried I'm going to lose a little hair when I take off the current bandage -- but I'm hoping shampoo and water will help with that. When I put a new one on I'll trim down the adhesive part to keep it off my hair this time. Then today I'll visit the pharmacy at Target and ask their advice on what bandages to get.

Hmm. How expensive is it to breed mice?
Semi-joking; I've owned two cats in my adult life; one a tabby that I picked up from a SSG in Germany when he got a divorce, the other a blue-point Siamese that we got around 3 years after the tabby died on New Years Day. I miss both of them (still have their ashes, as it so happens; not sure what the hell I'm going to do with them before I check out of the net), but I'm old enough that a new cat's end-of-life could well be close to my own (or my wife's) and at least one of us won't like the endgame of that scenario.

I have the ashes of all my cats with the exception of long-lived Arizona. His ashes I scattered up in the Colorado mountains where bobcats roam. I always figured he thought he should have been one, and somebody at The Cat Factory made a mistake, gave him a long tail, and sent him to live with me.

All Ryzen CPUs have two CCDs (compute dies) with 8 processor cores each for a full 16 cores.
Making silicon chips is hard, so if the slightest thing goes wrong in production the cores won't work.
To keep from throwing away a lot of 16 core CPUs that are defective, the CPU corps cut down the cores in a process called 'binning' which means that they can sell several models according to working core counts.
So for the 5000 series of Ryzen CPUs there are three tiers:
5600 = 6 working cores on one of the CCDs, the other two cores and the 8 cores on the other CCD are all disabled.
Thus a cheaper model.
5700, 5800 = 8 working cores on one CCD.
5900 = 12 working cores, 6 on each CCD.
5950 = All 16 cores working.
A 5600X is just a better die, so they can get more speed out of it, along with a 5700X, 5800X, 5900X, 5950X.
X3D means they have added more memory cache onto the die so that the CPU has to use RAM less frequently and can access data off of the die itself. This means higher performance in gaming, but it can also cause less performance in productivity applications.
Newer Ryzen 7000 & 9000 series desktop CPUs are similar but more refined.

Sensible. My 10D black cherry Dan Posts are excellent, and I'd have purchased another pair. But I wanted a lighter color. And even their website, as well as Boot Barn and Cavender's, had only black and shades of dark brown. These new ones are their upper-level Cody James Black 1978 model in a "cognac" color, with the boot tips a bit darker. Should be a nice combo with jeans or casual slacks.

Nope.
I've got two dehumidifiers already.
I guess I could get a humidifier, then put them all in the same room, lock the door and watch them fight it out, though.

Having a few problems with them though.
1. Too noisy so sleeping with it is a problem.
2. Has to be two feet off the floor, not on wood and you can't put a towel underneath because of the fan.
So until I find something that overcomes those limitations, I am resigned to expelling blood clots from my nose when I wake up.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - January 6, 2026 [Doof]
Epiphany is a Christian feast celebrating the revelation of Jesus Christ to the world. It is connected to the Magi’s visit from the East. Christians use the day to celebrate how Jesus came not just for Israel but for all nations.OK. Who Were the Magi That Visited Christ?
The Three Wise Men, also known as the Magi or the Three Kings, are figures mentioned in the Bible in the Gospel of Matthew. They are said to have visited the newborn Jesus in Bethlehem, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Bible does not specify the number of Wise Men; the idea of three Wise Men likely comes from the fact that three gifts are mentioned.Any mention of the Wise Men reminds me of this gem from Gary Larson
Five Years Ago Today
Thousands of Americans paid the price for political failures they did not create. Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent over 3 years and nearly $20 million in taxpayer funds on her partisan Select Committee, producing a scripted TV spectacle to fabricate an “insurrection” narrative and pin all blame on President Trump. Video and audio recordings, including unaired HBO footage from her own daughter, show Nancy Pelosi repeatedly acknowledging responsibility for the catastrophic security failures - admitting “We have totally failed” and “I take full responsibility” for not having the National Guard pre-deployed, despite intelligence warnings and President Trump’s offers of troops that were ignored under her leadership as Speaker. The Democrats masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as “insurrectionists” and framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump - despite no evidence of armed rebellion or intent to overthrow the government. In truth, it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ignoring widespread irregularities, and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters, all while Pelosi’s own security lapses invited the chaos they later exploited to seize and consolidate power. This gaslighting narrative allowed them to persecute innocent Americans, silence opposition, and distract from their own role in undermining democracy.
We here at AOSHQ know Nancy Pelosi was responsible
Please do NOT retweet Nancy Pelosi admitting full responsibility for not calling the National Guard on January 6th. 5 years ago TODAY

I got interested in the theories about the Star of Bethlehem this time. If we take "star" to mean "signs in the skies", or certain striking astronomical alignments, there are a few that happened around the Year Zero.
The slickest one, IMHO, happened around 2 BC (the year -1, using current astronomical year numbering and Julian calendar). It was a sequence that went like this.
Sept of 3 BC. Triple conjunction of Jupiter with Regulus in Leo sequence. Jupiter is the king of planets, Regulus is the king star. Then, come June 17, -1, there was a striking conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. There has never been a closer conjunction of the two since, the discs almost touched. They would've appeared in the sky as one very bright object, even with binoculars.
The come August of -1. 4 planet conjunction in Leo. Jupiter, Mars, Mercury very close in Leo, with a near "new" Venus nearby. Crescent Moon near as well.
To ancient astrologer types, all that would've screamed "birth of a great king".

We went in February of 2003, after visiting our son in Germany. Paris was beautiful. Clean. Not very many tourists.
Rude, yes. But we also had nice interactions with the natives.
You couldn't pay me to go there now, but I'm so glad we got to go. I imagine it's a lot different in the summer.

The bottom layer was so anoxic that the grass I put down when I first filled it 4 years ago was still there buried in the bottom layer of dirt. I get to start all over again. yay!
I repotted three peaches that I sprouted from pits this spring, and of course I broke the trunks on two of them trying to get them out of the pots. They have good roots so I am optimistic that I haven't killed them yet.
if I did, I have more pits to sprout.

That said, I haven't crossed the border sine COVID, and I'm never going to again. So if the powers that be have fucked over the more aesthetic side ... good on 'em.
Fuck Canadien and US Customs. The Canadiens for what they tried, and mostly accomplished during COVID. The US for treating citizens like criminals when declaring at a customs booth.

It is actually much more complicated than that. All service members are first obligated for 8 years upon signing their contract... if you are active for 4 and get out, the next 4 years you are in the Individual ready reserve, subject to call back, AND can be (but they don't) prosecuted under the UCMJ.
If you serve 20 years in the Navy as enlisted, you enter the 'Fleet Reserve', and are paid a retainer... which we all call retirement pay... but it does not legally become retired pay until you reach the age of 60.
If you are in the Fleet Reserve, you 'can' be made subject to the UCMJ, by being recalled... or lose that 'retainer' pay.
So yeah, question is legally complicated.

I did not like Vienna, but loved Salzburg, possibly my favorite city in Europe. We were there in 2012 or so and it was not crowded. Took a train and boat to Hallstatt for the day and it was lovely. Interesting grave yard or charnel house...sort of creepy. Church was beautiful. The Alps were right there and we ate on the lake in a nice restaurant. I think in early May before tourists. Loved it!
At the time I felt totally safe shopping alone in Salzburg and wandering around, but this was pre-barbarian invasions. Probably not the same now, thanks to too many tourists and diversity.

Winning a nuke war means your weapon (1) is undetectable, and (b) causes no lasting environmental damage, fallout, etc.
If you only have (1) and not (b), glassing the entire USofA while turning the surface of the planet into the Fallout computer game isn't a win, unless you're insane.
And if you're that insane, getting your own country glassed at the same time isn't a loss, as long as you, personally, survive in your bunker full of c-rations. Which would be "winning" a nuclear "exchange." Pooty might be nuts, but he's not that nuts.

I realize he wrote his own Bible,and had some loopy ideas about religion, but otherwise I loved his house and gardens. His bed was between his library and bedroom; and he invented a cool reading table or bookstand...I need one, as I never read just one book at a time.
I impressed my husband by knowing the answers to questions like a nerd on the tour. Sometimes I surprise him! Loved the dining room as well.
Were there in the spring and the flower gardens were gorgeous. Loved the vegetable gardens and learning of all the flowers,vegetables and fruit he brought to the US. A busy man.
We'd take little trips from DC when we could. Horse country in VA is beautiful. The people were sort of snotty when they heard my Southern accent, but that never stops me. It's not the twangy kind but refined and they can bite me.

A bit more advice. Should you ever want to stay in Paris, you will want to avoid Le Marais. The 3rd arrondissment, I think, but don't quote me.
I mean, don't literally avoid it, but it's the gay section of Paris. No big deal during the day, it isn't like Castro Street in San Frsncisco, no debauchety or anything...but a lot of the hotels do advertise as gay friendly.
It's got great shops and it's worth visiting, just maybe stay somewhere else!

Back in 1995 or so I had to go to DC so I took a road trip into Richmond, down to Charlottesville and William & Mary and then back up the Blue Ridge highway I think it was. Went to the Natural Towers park and relaxed for an afternoon, visited Culpeper.
Don’t remember exactly where it was but a big bookstore in a dilapidated barn or something near a famous battlefield.
Beautiful country and great food. My hotel room in Mount Vernon faced a Krispy Kreme and I could look out the window and just see when the sign lit up. This was back before they went national.

Also sing the words to the Deutschlandlied - the first stanza of the lyrics, not the third, as the wimps switched to after the Great Unpleasantness in the 40s. Guess it was the "Von der Maas bis an die Memel, von der Etsch bis an den Belt" part that was a little uncomfortable, given, um the recent history and all.
Russkis just kept the melody and 90% of the lyrics, adding some religious references that of course were unimaginable under You Know Who. Extemely Russian melody, ponderous and powerful.

With Maduro out and the U.S. taking control of the Western Hemisphere, we suspect the dark fleet tanker industry will be dramatically hit - bad news for China's "teapot" refineries.

If you can't take them or just don't want to, talk to your Dr about EZETIMIBE. It's an anti-cholesterol drug that acts differently from statins, acting in the gut to reduce dietary cholesterol absorption. I take one 10 mg tablet a day, and it keeps my Dr from nagging me.

FUN FACT
The Soviet (now Russian) national anthem was written under pressure from Stalin during WWII by Sergey Vladimirovich Mikhalkov.
After Stalin, Mikhailov was required to change the lyrics to remove references to Stalin.
Then again after the end of the USSR. Because no USSR.
Them one more time after, when Putin decided to to re-adopt it as the Russian anthem.

Sod houses were commonplace on the prairies of the Canadian West in the early days of settlement. Farmers had ploughs, and a horse and a plough could cut a lot of sod in a day. Lay the sod like bricks for the 4 walls, and roof over with poles and thatch, and you could have a snug home built in a few days. Sod walls fifteen inches thick provide good insualtion against the cold of winter. I had the opportunity to look through a small "soddie" at a park near Calgary, and it was cozy.

My great-great something grandfather, a French Huguenot carpenter, once owned the land in Richmond where the capitol is built. He also invented some type of tables, and did well until he didn't & died in deb.Mid-1700's, I think. There's a Presbyterian church in NC that he built. At some point he moved from NC to MS and then Texas.
My family is a mix of some wealthy and mostly farmers. We never saw any of the wealth! One of my great-grandfather's was a handsome lady's man. After birthing 5 kids my great-grandmother found a note from one of his lady friends in his jacket, and threw all of his clothes and stuff into the front yard and left him. Instead of a divorce, she lived a life of a widow. He went on to Louisiana to marry again and a bigamist when he died. Have seen a photo of him.
My mother has been into genealogy since the early 80's and spends her time correcting family trees and getting into arguments on Ancestry.

Reading about this Satan II missile, I don't see how it's some sort of game-over "winnable" nuclear weapon. If it works, and the last test launch was a big failure, I think, and does everything they say, it's not any big game changer.
It would be a formidable weapon, able to evade defenses, and all that. But if they launch 'em, we'd know about it, and respond in kind.

Beautiful melody, quoted by Tchaikovsky in the 1812 Overture - alternating with La Marseillaise.
Oh Canada has a decent melody, but insipid lyrics.
We should sing the whole Star Spangled Banner, the second stanza is great.
Other than the conflict between the 4th stanza and that pesky First Amendment, the Battle Hymn of the Republic would be better, though.

What I find interesting is that other countries know the words to our anthem. Canadians sang the words with Americans at a hockey game when the mic went off for the singer.
Have seen youtubes of Brits and others watching this and are amazed that they also recognize the melody and some lyrics...yet say that no other country's anthem comes to mind. It made me proud to see them watching with such interest. It's a powerful song for a powerful country.

I would hazard a guess they added some sort of PTO to the rear axle, with a clutch that engaged when the spare tire was jacked down all the way. Or they simply could have used an electric motor.
There was a similar gadget from the early 1950's. Hydraulic rams forced small conical rollers down under the front of the rear tires, lifting them off the ground. The rollers spun on axes parallel to the front-rear axis of the car, and when the rear wheels turned, the rollers would move the rear of the car sideways. Worked like bevel gears.

Well, well, if this is true, 'splains everything.
Apparently Madame Vice-president of Venezuela was having discussions with us all last year. Negotiations of a sort.
So, she's the one who sold out Maduro. So, the deal was. You play ball with us on the oil and no more Chicoms and shit, and you stay in power. On our terms. This explains a lot.

I camped out in the Florida keys way back in the late 70's, before I met my hubs. I went with a female co-worker and a guy that I went to high school with (non-romantic partner), we had a blast down there, I would imagine that it has changed greatly since that time.

That kind of freaked me out so I checked on it with Grok:
"No, Delcy Rodríguez is not the stepdaughter of Carlos the Jackal (Ilich Ramírez Sánchez). Her father was Jorge Antonio Rodríguez, a Marxist activist who died in 1976. The claim is a false rumor from some blogs."

Having Jorge Antonio Rodriguez as her actual father does not necessarily rule out her being Jackal's stepdaughter. If old Jorge croaked, and his widow married the Jackal, then Delcy would become his stepdaughter. But clearly, they ran in the same crowd. Unlikely a Marxist activist would not be familiar with old Carlos.

So after living there for a while I noticed that one house had what appeared to be a Christmas tree with lights on it that sat inside the rear sliding glass door. I could never be sure and it really wasn't any of my business so I really didn't check it out.
One day, there was a dog in her backyard I had never seen before and it managed to dig a tunnel under her side fence and escape. I hopped on my bike and managed to grab the dog in her side yard. I knocked on the door to giver her the dog back and she asked me to come in.
Sure enough, there was a Christmas tree set up , I think it was summer because it was hot.. I mentioned it to her and she said she "Just LOVES Christmas" and asked me if I wanted any Christmas cookies. She said she celebrates Christmas all year. I glance around and noticed that the whole place was extensively decorated for Christmas. She live there alone and adopted dogs to keep her company.
She brought a big plate of home made Christmas cookies out from the kitchen. NO WAY!

Denmark subsidizes each Greenlander to the tune of about 12-14k each in USD. 56,000 or so Greenlanders. Your math may vary.
There have been US military on Greenland since 1941 (and pre-Pearl Harbor).
A million per seems high.
Also, Danish law prohibits Greenlanders from doing their traditional main job of hunting and killing whales.

I did say step-daughter, but maybe daughter, I can't go as far as that *cough Obarky's real father cough*.
Carlos (for short) was a Revolutionary Comrade and associate of Delcy's father. Who died.
Carlos married the widow for a time, circumstances unclear, then skedaddled to Hungary. The wife/step-daughter did not accompany him. Carlos was quite the ladies man.
