The Family of Democrat Thugs Who Assaulted Savanah Hernandez Have All be Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury

Acting AG Todd Blanche
@DAGToddBlanche
Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul.
Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground -- simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT "peaceful protest." These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.

The whole family -- the thug 250 pound father who brutally knocked the 110 pound girl in the back, the psychopathic daughter who repeated assaulted her by blowing a very loud whistle directly into her ear (yes that's assault, and the attack can have serious long-term consequences), and the mother too.

🚨HUGE UPDATE: Turns out that Chris, Paige and Deyanna Ostroushko will ALL be facing federal charges for assaulting me.

It was initially reported that only 2 of the 3 would be facing charges, however, Acting AG Todd Blanche, has just announced that ALL THREE were indicted and… https://t.co/vONQWO0SSe pic.twitter.com/uOfC4gGJTR

Say, remember when the left -- especially the odious Wormtongue Jake Tapper -- kept pushing the idea of "stochastic terrorism," claiming that if we said "CNN Sucks," or that they were liberal as fuck, that was the same as loading a bullet into a rifle for an anti-media assassin?

And now Jake Tapper claims that there's no such thing? At least as far as him and his leftwing propagandists urging violence against Trump and Republicans?

After Paul Pelosi was attacked in 2022, Jake Tapper did an entire show on the dangers of stochastic terrorism and of systematically demonizing a person.

Tapper blamed the right and QAnon for inciting the attack. He said calling someone a pedophile or claiming that someone is out… pic.twitter.com/kc9G2xrHX3

David Harsanyi:

A few years back, left-wing media began popularizing the phrase "stochastic terrorism," so they could blame mainstream conservative rhetoric for random violent acts. When a white supremacist goes on a shooting spree, legacy media demand that every Republican official in the country take ownership and denounce the act as if their rhetoric led to the violence.
Yet, when a left-winger such as Cole Allen allegedly tries to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, leaving a manifesto that's virtually indistinguishable from the rhetoric used by the average liberal podcaster or politician, the same people act as if the two things are completely unrelated. There's not a hint of self-reflection.
Politics, of course, has always been hyperbolic. Both Democrats and Republicans say terrible things about opposition presidents. But there's probably never been anything approaching the unhinged hysteria aimed at Trump.
For years, it was broadly accepted by the Left that Trump was an asset of a foreign adversary. And when the president wasn't operating "concentration camps" or stealing votes from minority groups, he was instituting fascism. And this wasn't the usual vague pejorative synonym for "conservativism."
"Yes, it's okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don't let me stop you," one Washington Post op-ed argued. Though to be fair, another Washington Post op-ed disagreed: "Don't compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler."
Trump is now regularly accused of being a rapist and pedophile and a puppet of the Jews who are plunging us into endless war for personal gain.
"And," wrote Allen, who'd been marinating in this panic for about a decade, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."
There have now been three major attempts to murder the Republican president. Not long ago, Charlie Kirk, one of the most popular conservative voices in the nation, was assassinated. Before that, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the largest insurance company in the country, was murdered on the street. Before that, a leftist showed up with a Glock, zip ties, and duct tape to assassinate a Supreme Court justice. Before that, a Bernie Sanders fan attempted to eliminate the entire Republican House leadership on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia.
That's not even to mention the "free Palestine" activists who show up at protests with firebombs or murder Israeli Embassy workers on the streets of Washington. Or the fire-bombings of Tesla dealerships. Or the antifa fire-bombings and attacks on police stations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Or the attacks on pregnancy centers after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Or the Black Lives Matter riots, the most destructive in American history.
When a would-be terrorist shows up at the Capitol with Molotov cocktails to kill Republican officials, we barely even talk about it.
That's a pattern. That's a big problem.
Marxist violence has always been with us. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a communist in Dallas. The only other president assassinated in the 20th century, William McKinley, was killed by the bullets of radical leftist Leon Czolgosz. A slew of communist and anarchist terrorist bombings culminated in the deaths of 30 people on Wall Street in 1920.
Most cultural depictions of the '60s and '70s offer us genteel, peace-loving hippies. The reality was an unprecedented rise in left-wing terrorism, led by groups such as the Weather Underground, which were setting off bombs at the Capitol, police stations, the Pentagon, and the offices of attorneys general. In an 18-month span between 1971 and 1972, there were 2,500 bombings in the United States by leftist groups.
It seems to me that things could easily go back in that direction, or worse, because the contemporary Left is increasingly and openly comfortable with violence.

"This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW."
"I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness."
"He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders."
Greg nails it

From Cruelty-Spotter Victor Davis Hanson: The left has mainstreamed political violence.

Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump
At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt--this time in full view of the Washington press corps.
The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall--and that he might see possible violence outside it.
Indeed, protesters ringed the hotel. In grimly prescient fashion, the usual sort of crowd that night was channeling John Wilkes Booth--sic semper tyrannis--with placards reading "Death to Tyrants."
They again almost got their wish.
All three of the would-be Trump shooters--along with Charlie Kirk's murderer--fit the predictable profile of arrested-development, deranged leftists. They apparently sought to reify the popular Democrat hatred of Trump and his supporters, thereby imagining themselves entering the pantheon of revolutionary heroes.
So too, not long ago, did the would-be killer of Trump, Austin Tucker Martin, storm Mar-a-Lago in search of the absent president.
This time, the latest assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, left a manifesto repeating the old saw of Trump as "Hitler" and sought to kill the president and his cabinet members. Indeed, his incoherent screed read like a Petri dish of all the supposed sins of Trump, drawing on left-wing conspiracies about Russian collusion, lawfare myths, and the Epstein files.
Allen's attempt was another fantasy of mass murdering, not unlike that of former Bernie Sanders campaign aide James T. Hodgkinson. He tried to take out Republican congressional leaders--wounding four, including House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise--in a baseball game in Washington.
Other than the fact that the shooter nearly reached the doors to the auditorium, the Secret Service performed brilliantly--despite the Democratic effort to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.
Apparently, the Left's mindset is that the security of elected officials--Trump especially--and of American citizens is not nearly as important as ensuring that foreign nationals who entered the country illegally are not legally returned to their countries of origin.
Assassins are motivated by all sorts of impulses, but certainly they do not act in a void.
From the trickle-down world of social media, the internet, and street theater, would-be killers absorb elite signals. This messaging becomes especially baleful when celebrities, governors, senators, and politicos amplify the claim that Trump is a fascist, a Nazi, a monster who is destroying the country and who must be stopped "by any means necessary." Late-night comedians joke about past assassinations or assassination attempts; others have even claimed that Trump staged his first assassination attempt--and this one too!
So deep runs their hatred.
For over a decade, the Left has escalated its rhetoric of violence against Trump. Each politico, actor, celebrity, or billionaire seems to vie with the next in imagining new ways to kill or assault him.
Had that sort of rhetoric been directed at Obama or Biden, it would likely have put many of them in jail.
...

...
The hardcore left-wing establishment believes this sort of Hitler/Trump rhetoric, combined with the normalization of street violence, generates ever more protests, fuels anti-ICE fury, unites Congressional Democrats, and--most importantly--drives down Trump poll numbers. In their view, it is a lot more effective than merely outlining an alternative agenda.
So expect far more, not less, of this left-wing violent madness to come.

See, what they're not realizing is that yes, they are making political violence acceptable on the left, but they're also making it acceptable among the right.

I hope they're ready for the fire they've set.

This is what incitement of violence sounds like. These are not insults or ridicule. These are incitements of violence.

This type of rhetoric is meant to make people believe that Trump and his supporters are a direct threat to them, their families, and the country.

Everyone is calling this the third assassination attempt, first being Butler and second being the guy in the bushes at Mar-a-Lago, right?

I seem to recall an incident of a punk rushing toward the stage when Trump was at the podium, at some college perhaps, but anyway I'm pretty sure was outdoors. Can't remember if the guy was armed, but I remember Trump just staring him down, unflinchingly. Does that count as an attempt?

Not counting some White House gate would-be crashers who never got close.

62 How not to get killed by Kyle Rittenhouse.

1. Don't stalk him and surround him in a riot
2. Don't attempt to attack him for just walking around with his medipack.
3. When he shoots one of your fellow attackers, don't go in for another attack.

From the results, a golden handshake, a wonderful pension and stock options, and a glowing reference for his CV when it time for him to leave.
Because Congress considers what he did no crime, and most of them have some sort of investments that rely on this sort of economic strip mining of America; they defend the practice from any restraint by the executive branch.

69 These journalists have to be among the stupidest people on earth. Of course they are because the assisting that tried to kill Trump this time a tally said he was going to shoot his way through all of those journalists to get to POTUS. They woukd have been killed and the shooter would ha e been killed because Trump would ha e been out of there before he got there. But he was willing to kill journalists. So would that have made them stop and think?

I just read the Algore Global Cooling thread. ROFL.

Some of you mentioned the sun turning into a red giant. That will happen in about 5 billion years. But a lot of stuff will get us well before then. Well before. Complex life on earth probably has no more than about 1 billion years left. The sun's luminosity is steadily increasing at about 6 - 10% per billion years. In a billion years, it will be too hot, and the oceans will start evaporating away.

But other stuff will still happen well before then. On the roughly 500K - 1 million year range, a 1km+ asteroid will be almost certain to have hit, along with one of those huge supervolcano explosions.

Another one that caught my eye. In a mere 1.2 million years, a star, Gliese 710, will come within a mere 10,000 AU of the sun, and a tiny chance it get within 1000 au. Well inside the Oort Cloud in all cases. In galactic scale terms, this is stellar sideswipe.

That will send a deluge of debris into the inner solar system, likely causing all sorts of impact events.

They've know that star would make a close approach for a while, but the recent high precision Gaia survey, mapping the positions and velocities of stars in our neighborhood to much great precisions, showed just how close it will get.

143 Because I missed the earlier thread: Supreme Court limits Voting Rights Act

The GOP was playing the long game, for decades, to arrive at complete and total control of SCOTUS. And this is the fruit of their labor. Republicans have a hard time convincing certain people to vote for them. So life would be a lot easier if those people just weren't allowed to vote.

"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy." - David Frum, Conservative.

Remember everyone who told us we were being *hysterical* about what would happen in the Supreme Court if Trump won in 2016?

If the Democrats get control of the house and senate and don't make MASSIVE changes to limit the abuse of power from all 3 branches of government then this country is doomed.

Cue red state emergency redistricting to sneak back in Jim Crow-inspired gerrymanders.

147 What's amazing to me is how used to progressives have become to any accountability for their actions. It just seems crazy to them they would be held accountable.

The family literally assaulted someone, on camera. Their expectation was it would be no biggie. Likely because they and everyone around them have done it many times before, without consequence. Likely they have assaulted dozens of people and gotten away with it. To a point where they don't even consider it assault - just free speech, or the natural consequence of disagreeing with them. Like the broken windows concept, this attitude spreads - shove someone one day, punch them the next, shoot them the next, etc.

Also when a group formed to mildly push back and protect against the left's homicidal brownshirts that group was immediately focused on, infiltrated, compromised, the people arrested, and thrown in pmita prison.

183 Another one that caught my eye. In a mere 1.2 million years, a star, Gliese 710, will come within a mere 10,000 AU of the sun, and a tiny chance it get within 1000 au. Well inside the Oort Cloud in all cases. In galactic scale terms, this is stellar sideswipe.

That will send a deluge of debris into the inner solar system, likely causing all sorts of impact events.

They've know that star would make a close approach for a while, but the recent high precision Gaia survey, mapping the positions and velocities of stars in our neighborhood to much great precisions, showed just how close it will get.

I had a juvenile delinquent friend growing up. Always breaking the law, B&Es, stealing. Always his widowed mother trying to bail him out of things. He was on probation every day I knew him.

I saw the behavior. "How dare the rules of my probation tell ME what to do!" He got himself in trouble before he was on probation, but the defiance of the system, was how he "got the system back".

He was entitled, and when the system pushed back, the system needed to be shown who's boss. He never associated the consequence of his action with his prior action. He only saw it as almost as something done to him.

So, I saw this personality type early on. Never dreamed variations of it would become so dominant in society.

200 You know, Hasan Piker suggested that everyone should get drones and get familiar with them, learn how they were jury-rigged as weapons in Ukraine before they got enough purpose-built ones. I kid, he only said that for leftists, or really for Islamunists.

But you know, I think that rightists should do that one better: take those steps, yes, and then learn how to make the purpose-built ones too. Because we can, and even when leftists (like Cole Allen) actually have technical degrees, they don't really seem to have the drive to apply it.

The four major tools used at the squad level in the Russo-Ukrainian War appear to be rifles, off-road motorbikes, drones, and ECM/ECCM (jamming). Many here already have and use the first, but for those with the means and inclination, I think all four would be good things to acquire and learn.

That is the mark of someone who scores high on the psychopathy chart. Probably has no real conscience. That is a hard-wired condition, and while some people who want to can overcome it by faking real empathy, they don't ever actually have any, so they don't feel any sense of shame. There is no leverage whatsoever to be able to teach them how to behave like a civilized individual.

As far as they are concerned, people are just plain mean to them, while they are just taking care of themselves.

Until you life around one of these folks, it really doesn't make any sense. Once you figure it out, everything becomes strictly transactional, and you hope for the best.

Lunatic Leftwing Fascists Melt Down as Florida's Assembly Speedruns the New Congressional Map Through Both Houses

Cry Moar NPR:

Florida lawmakers have approved a new Congressional map that could position Republicans to win four additional U.S. House seats in the midterm elections in November.
The 21 to 17 vote for final passage in the Senate came just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act in a decision on a Louisiana congressional district Wednesday morning.
Both developments will assist President Trump's national push to help the GOP in the midterm elections. With the Florida redistricting, the GOP likely gains an advantage of two or three new seats as Republican-led states have followed Trump's call and Democratic-led states have countered it.
However, control of the House will depend on the votes in November. Democrats have said the redraw in Florida makes several GOP seats more competitive, potentially leading to smaller seat gains if strong Democratic performances seen in recent special elections continue.
The bill now goes for expected signing by Gov. Ron DeSantis. He has argued that the state's rapid population growth requires redistricting. And he's urged the redrawing of districts that were drawn with consideration for preserving the voting power of minority communities.

🚨 JUST IN: The Florida House has OVERWHELMINGLY PASSED Governor Ron DeSantis’ new Congressional maps, which would add up to 4 new Republican US House seats, 83-28

Democrats literally started SCREAMING when it passed 🤣

It now moves on to the Senate.

🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: Ron DeSantis' new Congressional map for Florida, which positions Republicans to win an extra FOUR seats in the US House, has FULLY PASSED the Senate, 21-17

It'll now head to DeSantis' desk.

Alito mocked Kagan for pretending that she cares about stare decisis (precedents). He points out she only cites stare decisis to uphold leftwing doctrines:

Justice Alito has clearly lost patience with Justice Kagan's cynical stare-decisis schtick. She has never relied on stare decisis to reach a result she disfavors in a case where her vote would impact the outcome. So when she sings its praises, take it with a grain of salt. pic.twitter.com/aQkHQ20k0y
— Jimmy Buffett Fan, Esq. (@jimmy_esq) April 29, 2026

Apparently this dissent took a long, long time to write.

Not because it's well-reasoned.

But because Kagan delayed it so that the opinion would not be announced until now.

Former US Attorney "Shipwrecked Crew" says it is clear that Justice Kagan withheld her dissent for as long as possible to make it too late for most states to update their maps for this cycle:

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew
So Justice Kagan is reported in Molly Hemingway's new book on Justice Alito as having urged liberal members of the Court to slow-walk their dissents in the Dobbs case for months after Justice Alito had finished his majority decision, presumably with the "hope" that the composition of the Court would change and the 5-4 outcome striking down Roe would turn into a 4-4 deadlock that left the lower court's decision in place - affirming Roe.
NOW, it is clear that it was Justice Kagan -- and not Justices Jackson and Sotomayor -- who has held up her dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, as she has written the only dissent -- with the whispered-about motivation being to push the decision back far enough into the calendar back such that some states don't have time to engage in redistricting before the Nov. elections -- redistricting that might eliminate minority-majority districts and cost Democrats seats.
If both these two anecdotal accounts about Kagan gain traction, it will forever stain her legacy on SCOTUS.

I love how cucky institutionalists still think that these monsters care about the "stain" that their integrity will suffer.

But some states are scrambling to redistrict:

🚨 NOW: US Sen. Marsha Blackburn has PROPOSED a 9R-0D redistricting map for Tennessee to redraw, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling against racial gerrymandering under the VRA

YES!

71 It could backfire and cause the GOP to lose more seats by spreading their supporters too thin with how unpopular the GOP is right now, and how they keep getting more unpopular.

Cubans are PISSSED. This is likely to explode in their face. Cubans always though they were a special exception. They've realized they aren't.

This will stand, while Virginia's, democratic, voter approved redistricting has a 50/50 chance of being squashed by SCOVA.

SCOTUS gutted the voting right act today, so I have zero expectations for the midterms. They are going to cheat to hang onto power and finish their fascist wet dream.

No matter what happens this November, one thing is guaranteed, Trump will claim it was rigged.

That is the ruling that says one man, one vote applies to state districting, so instead of a geographic districting (like there is on federal level,) there is all this district bull. It should be based on county, for example. So each county gets one state rep, each group of counties one federal rep.

It's not quite that simple. IANAL, but one of the lovely things about these newfangled AI summaries is how easy it makes it look up how laws work. When that Texan reporter was assaulted at the Minnesota protest outside an ICE facility, I looked it up to check if residents of different states would get the Feds involved, and found my guess was wrong.

The most solid source of Federal jurisdiction is a conspiracy against civil rights, since the family worked together in violence against her 1A rights. The next was *if* the Federal property line extended out past where she was assaulted, then that would be another predicate. There was no third.

Los Angeles has rejected an entrepreneur’s cheap and simple fix to stop the city’s crippling copper wire theft crisis.

End Metal Theft spokesman Mark James revealed to the California Post it had created a hardened cover that secures streetlights and would stop neighborhoods being plunged into darkness.

The device, which fastens over the lid to the wires, would make it harder, louder and far riskier for criminals to try to gain access.

They would cost about $300 to install, are easily maintained and would save the tens of thousands of dollars it costs to repair vandalized streetlamps.

But James revealed City Hall chiefs shot it down, instead wanting to focus on converting to solar lamps that will cost up to $6,000 each.

Already is, Inspector General of Fed in involved and for Powell, it means he has to testify as long as he stays in the Fed (no fifth amendment right) to the IG's investigation. I think they did this just so Powell will leave the Board of Governors promptly to avoid questioning.

It happened several times in Trump I administration once the DoJ and FBI became subjects of the IG investigation for that department. People resigned or retired to avoid testilying.

IG can also give criminal referrals which sticks up the ass of someone like Boasberg as much more obvious to try to stymie indictments based on an OIG investigation.

Could this be the new inititive for illegals? Put them in CECOT for awhile and blast them to Mars to form their own colony?

ICE could soon inform them: your homeland, CECOT or a future in Mars. Let's see how many self deport over this deal!

I am simply thankful I remembered seeing this somewhere vs dreaming:

Granted we know they will become cannibals up there and mutate but I think it's a win win. Add a few Haitians and Somolians to the mix and see who wins (there won't be cats on Mars).

He says it's early because his first rocket exploded...but I think we have enough illegals to rush it, Elon.

Then send a handful once the rocket is a success then many in cargo rockets.

These are the illegals who refuse to go to their homeland and when CECOT is full. Or send some El Salvadorians as well to help them. Either/or.

As I said above, an active OIG investigation is targeting the cost overruns. OIG can make Powell testify if he does not leave the board regardless of the 5th Amendment. If he leaves, then they no longer have power to compel testimony.

I think this was the backup when Powell did not resign and Boasberg stuck his oar in. And the OIG after the conclusion of its investigation can still give criminal referrals for prosecution to the DoJ.

Al Gore: All of My Predictions from An Inconvenient Truth About Greenland and the Arctic Completely Losing Their Ice Were "Proven Dead Right;" and BTW, Now I'm Warning About a Coming Ice Age (Which Will Also Not Happen)

Everything he predicted twenty years ago were "proven dead right," except for everything he predicted.

And he's got a new grift: Global Freezing.

A lot of these rich nepo babies like Al Gore and Tuq'r Qarlson aren't nearly as rich as I'd assumed. They're still shilling and huckstering into their elder years.

Former Vice President Al Gore is still making climate doom predictions, 20 years after his warnings from An Inconvenient Truth proved false -- this time invoking the science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow for a rapt Hollywood audience.
Gore joined the first-ever Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event Thursday, organized by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, for a keynote conversation with The West Wing star Bradley Whitford.

This idiot cuck again. I hate this guy. He's a dweeb so he plays "smart" characters -- by which I mean another dweeb, Aaron Sorkin, uses him as his puppet to ventriloquize his own personal stupid dweeb political propaganda -- and so he believes he's smart in real life.

Pretty sure Hugh Jackman doesn't think he's actually Wolverine in real life.

The pair reminisced about the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, conspicuously omitting its failed prophecy that Earth's ecosystems would reach a "tipping point" of no return, thanks to human industrial activity, in only ten years. That deadline that came and went a full decade ago.
...

In response to this doomsday warning, Whitford sets a more drastic timeline -- that if Gore's energy policies are not enacted, "we're in an ice age in, like, 10 years." However, Gore punts the prophecy's deadline much farther into the future, dodging any chance of accountability.

So note it is this actor dweeb who spent his grade school years getting stuffed inside lockers who advanced the ice age prediction-- but Al Gore then endorses it, while avoiding making a prediction about when this will come to pass.

Like all Doomsayers, his previous specific predictions have been proven dead wrong, so now he wants to keep things vague.

...
WHITFORD: And if there is a tipping point here where the gradual threat of climate change becomes immediate, where -- if that happens and the Gulf Stream ceases to exist as we know it, we're in an ice age in, like, 10 years.
GORE: No, no, no. It would take longer -- it, I mean, I'm not the expert-
WHITFORD: [Crosstalk] I wear makeup, Al.
GORE: But I've spent a lot of time with them. But it would be bad. It would be very bad and would be bad on a scale that is beyond our, anything we can compare it to today.

The ultimate authority on all questions involving life on earth, Al Gore, is now declaring that global warming is out, and global freezing is in. Safe bet that he found a whole new angle to line his pockets off the climate grift. pic.twitter.com/oQ5CtY9laS
— Lee Zeldin (@epaleezeldin) April 29, 2026

Al Gore says the doomsday predictions from climate scientists 20 years ago "were proven dead right," so we should take them even more seriously now.

He says it's "inevitable that we're going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go."

Reminder, in 2006, Gore… pic.twitter.com/W042RpBeUA
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) March 27, 2026

Al Gore just said “none of the predictions from the past 20 years have been wrong from climate scientists.”

This inspired me to go back and watch the classic An Inconvenient Truth.

The left figured out that they couldn't convince people that it was going to be a hundred degrees hotter in 10 years, and also that no one was really concerned about potential temperatures going up a degree or so.

So now they're getting their "science" from old and failed bad sci-fi movies.

I also love the part where they carefully consider which books they can use to burn for warmth, and they decide on tax law books. Then some Karen scolds them for not knowing the importance of books, that they have to treasure knowledge, and they have to feast upon the word of tax law.

What if they just get off on fooling suckers out of money? I was corrected by commenters here for my inference that aging rockers must not be as rich as I thought, since they're still doing the grueling work of stadium and arena tours. They pointed out that e.g. Paul McCartney said if people stopped buying tickets he would busk, since making music for people is just what he loves. That I can understand, but soulless snakes are harder to get in the head of; so, it's hard to imagine, but maybe they're just love tricking people too much to ever stop, and cold hard cash is the firmest proof the scam worked.

178 What if they just get off on fooling suckers out of money? I was corrected by commenters here for my inference that aging rockers must not be as rich as I thought, since they're still doing the grueling work of stadium and arena tours. They pointed out that e.g. Paul McCartney said if people stopped buying tickets he would busk, since making music for people is just what he loves. That I can understand, but soulless snakes are harder to get in the head of; so, it's hard to imagine, but maybe they're just love tricking people too much to ever stop, and cold hard cash is the firmest proof the scam worked.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at April 29, 2026 03:58 PM (Fbc0I)

Really, they shut down because of an earthquake in Japan that minorly hurt a nuclear reactor about 3 generations out of date that leaked almost no nuclear radiation.

Germany didn't just shut down their nuclear reactors, either.

They destroyed the towers. To replace them they'd have to go through EU regulatory hurdles from scratch.

Mostly though - salt.

I fry up a good onion though, and that is a nice side - not caramelized, beyond that. A little blackened and full of flavor, and it makes a nice addition.

I did a crtl-F on the SCOTUS ruling comments. No mention of Reynolds v. Simms.

That is the big kahuna. That is the ruling that says one man, one vote applies to state districting, so instead of a geographic districting (like there is on federal level,) there is all this district bull. It should be based on county, for example. So each county gets one state rep, each group of counties one federal rep.

OMOV gives power to the cities, encourages migration, concentrates power to facilitate fraud, and leaves rural ares floundering. It is what has caused all our problems (that and the 17th. and 19th. and commies. and muzzies. "amongst our weaponry..." hold on, I'll come in again.

They build in the flood zone and on beaches that are washing away due to nature and the natural rise in sea level after the ice age. There is no sane reason to build there, and they only do because other people keep paying tax dollars to make them safe and restore beaches.

NJ is lined on the coast with $10 million dollar homes that only exist because the people who own them have clout so everyone else has to pay for their insurance and beach restorations.

428 It is interesting that when the "elites" thought there would be a reckoning with "peak oil" they found it useful to create this regime that CO2 was dangerous and it could create a great opportunity for trillions of dollars of grift. Now, that it has been established that AI is really important, CO2 is no longer a problem because the climate is going cold which supports the new grift of investments in AI and supporting infrastructure.

Dan Bongino Flushed Deep State Leakers Out of the FBI By Using the "Canary Trap" Technique

I don't know if it's really called the "canary trap." I just know that's what Tom Clancy called it. One finds a leaker by leaking particularlized misinformation to different people. Then you sit back and see what version of the misinformation winds up in the press.

Then you fire the person you told that piece of individualized misinformation to.

Tyrian Lanister used it in Game of Thrones, too.

Bongino used the same technique to separate real FBI agents interested in actaully doing their jobs from the treasonous Democrat "snakes" who infest American government to tunnel through it and collapse it.

Bongino said he was repeatedly assured certain individuals were trustworthy, only to suspect them of leaking shortly afterward.
"It happened a couple times where they'd say, 'Oh, you can trust John Smith.' And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you see a leak in the media and you'd be like, 'I'm pretty sure that came from John Smith,'" he said.
At that point, most bureaucrats would shrug and complain. Bongino did something smarter.
He set a trap.
To flush out leakers, Bongino began planting harmless, fake details--like an "innocuous" schedule item--and sharing them selectively with specific individuals. Then he watched. If that exact detail showed up in the press, he had his answer.
"It was like we would play this little game," he said.
Call it a game if you want. It was actually a classic counterintelligence tactic, and it worked. When the planted information surfaced publicly, Bongino confronted the source directly. No guesswork. No plausible deniability. Done.

“There were two FBIs.”

31 Ace, for what it is worth, John Konrad on X has created a minor shit storm by specifically singling out staffers in Congress as to why our legislative branch is dysfunctional.

Worth reading along with his subsequent posts and now Data Republican is getting into it.

"John Ʌ Konrad V@johnkonrad
·
Apr 28
John Thune has become a punching bag for good reason but there is a more insidious force at play nobody can talk about. Let me explain…

The staffers in Thune’s office have been asking Trump Naval and Maritime appointees questions about me before confirmation hearings.

I doubt John Thune knows who I am. His staff absolutely does. They track me. They hate me. And they will quietly bleed pushing out any appointee I’m friends with.

Someone close to PPO told me a Trump staffer commented that “Konrad should be a HBS case study on someone every in the administration respects but has zero chance of any appointment.”

It’s probably because I’ve called out congressional staffers numerous times before.

This is how Congress actually works.

It’s always the staffers. When we first floated the SHIPS Act, Mike Johnson’s hometown delegation were strong supporters. "

32 What he is saying about "two FBIs" is true in all organizations, and why good managers are worth so much money - they can figure it out and do what is good for the organization. It is related to the following--

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy
-States that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:
-Those who are devoted to the goals of the organization and those dedicated to the organization itself.
-The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

57 Per a previous thread comment about how Obama fired legit workers and replaced them with sycophants:

A minister in ancient China with aspirations for power once brought in a deer to a meeting. "Isn't that a fine horse?" he asked those present. Several scoffed, saying that it was obviously a deer. Others, wanting to get on the minister's good side, praised the "horse".

Those who stated the truth were later hounded down by the 'law'. Those who lied, remained to bolster the minister's power.

There's strong parallels to what Obama and his group have done to places like the FBI and the DOJ.

Large organizations always start to shift to the bureaucratic model and the first thing that natural bureaucrats in the middle know is that control of information from the lower reaches to the upper levels is key to job preservation and power.

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are timeless in demonstrating this. The classic Yes, Prime Minister where the Prime Minister navigates a foreign crisis and thwarts the Foreign Office bureaucrats is classic.

Every time Trump survives an assassination attempt he enters a kind of zen fugue state where he transcends his usual belligerence and radiates unearthly serenity. "I wasn't worried," he said after this last one. "I understand life. We live in a crazy world." In this photo he looks like the speaker of Yeats's "Lake Isle of Innisfree," gazing dreamily into the respite that awaits him when at last his labor on this earth is done.

"Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade."

This usually lasts about a week before he goes back to thundering obscenities at his enemies and wishing hellfire upon them at the merest provocation.

84 I said above that good managers are worth so much because they figure out who is working to backstab and advance, and who is working for the organization to succeed.

(I would call this "who had a goatee" based on the Star Trek episode where they all had goatee and were the other way. So in talking I might say "I think joe has a goatee" and that became a shorthand.)

Thune is not a good manager. He is worthless.

103 This was similar to technique L used to (almost) catch Light Yagami in Death Note.

What's the most delicious about this technique is that almost without fail, it catches the kinds of people who think they're the smartest people in the room. (In Yagami's case, he was a genuine genius, (at least within the context of the story) it's just that he was overconfident and L was his equal) It's a little like the best way to swat a fly is to use its own innate defenses against it.

Thune is not a good manager. He is worthless.
Posted by: bob
========
Konrad's subsequent posts which have ignited a firestorm on X including staffers, etc. weighing in, also indicate the problem in part with Thune is that he inherited these problematic staffers when he agreed to be majority leader.

These top staffers come with the job, not from Thune and as Thune himself is selected by his colleagues, not by voters, those staffers are run in part by the Caucus, not Thune.

Konrad does not go into it but others have noted that Congressional lawmaking abilities have largely shriveled in part due to law writing being delegated to outside interest groups and to key staffers within that use these complicated bills to create their own power centers and funding for their allies.

This explains why our annual funding bills are such a shitshow--the key committee and leadership staffers and former staffers who are now lobbyists for special interest groups purposefully stall and delay so these bills so that a complicated omnibus/continuing resolution where lots of funding and provisions can be hidden has become the norm.

Bongino is not the first government manager to divulge the use of this technique in US government, e.g. reportedly this was done a lot in the first Trump administration.

I don't think revealing it is going to make leakers any more circumspect. They want to tell what they know. Like James O'Keefe's fake date stings are never going to stop working. Like these maggots are never going to stop keep documenting their disloyalty and 'secret plans' in e-mails. They don't learn any better. Surprising, but true.

He said on his old radio show that he was going to give it a shot when he was offered the assistant director spot but he said he was keeping his options open because he was not sure he would like the job. Turns out he did not like the job and he left.

From what I have read and heard from him the job was pretty much dealing with HR bull$hit and manpower issues.

194 The canary trap is one of the more basic ways counterintelligence uses to find traitors (and foreign spies). Write a bunch of different reports on the same subject. Distribute to the various departments. Use your own spies to see which version of the report shows up in the files of a hostile foreign government (or in this case, the media. Same thing pretty much these days). Now you know there's a traitor in (or at least a foreign spy with access to) Section X of Department Y. See who had access to that version and go from there. Pretty soon you know who the traitor (or foreign spy) is. It's saddening and enraging that there are so many traitors in our own government.

216 Congressional staffers are considered federal employees for pay, benefits, and administrative purposes, but they are hired and fired at the discretion of the member of Congress, making them effectively at-will employees. Unlike executive branch employees, they lack civil service protections and can be terminated at any time.

F 'em. They're kids of, or special appointments by, political friends, juicy donors and current or former pols, paid extremely well & with excellent benefits & transferrable skills and connections during their time working for a specific individual. (Ha.) When that individual goes by quitting, not being elected, dying in office, etc. you go out the door too. c'est la vie

Regardless, most manage to stick out their entire careers in high paid political jobs in D.C., other Federal or state agencies or the best paying non-profits.

I also didn't get paid anything resembling "extremely well." I topped out at about $40k/year before I found a better private sector job. The benefits are...okay at best, it's just government health insurance. Paid time off was in line with any corporate job you'd find. I think it was 3 weeks/year.

240 A minister in ancient China with aspirations for power once brought in a deer to a meeting. "Isn't that a fine horse?" he asked those present. Several scoffed, saying that it was obviously a deer. Others, wanting to get on the minister's good side, praised the "horse".

Those who stated the truth were later hounded down by the 'law'. Those who lied, remained to bolster the minister's power.

There's strong parallels to what Obama and his group have done to places like the FBI and the DOJ.

I stopped calling transmania Point Deer Make Horse, because the reference was too obscure. The incident you refer to lead to one of the briefest dynasties, since it was so dysfunctional.

One of the ways that Chinese deal with having such an ancient culture is by distilling historical lessons into little four-word epigrams. The epigram for that whole travesty is Point Deer Make Horse, with layers of lessons for keeping your head straight, and keeping it attached, and knowing how seductively effective tactics can be crippling long-term.

William Natcher of Kentucky ran his office that way. His wife was his chief of staff. Notably he always returned most of his House office allowance as he was extremely popular in his district and spent less than one quarter of his House office allowance. Ironically, the anti nepotism provisions make it more difficult to hire family members as staff. So those so inclined, like Maxine Waters, simply put them on their campaign staffs funded directly by donors. Probably worse in the bargain for that tradeoff.

Assassination-Prep Specialist Congressman Dan Goldman: The Person Responsible for Trump's Third Assassination Trump is Trump Himself

Do you want to take this kinetic? Because this is how you take this kinetic.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) didn't waste any time pointing the finger after Saturday's assassination attempt on President Donald Trump -- and he aimed it squarely at Trump himself.
...
Coates played a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who called out what she described as years of escalating demonization of the president. "This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators, yes, by elected members of the Democrat Party, and even some in the media," she said. "This hateful and constant and violent rhetoric directed at President Trump day after day after day for 11 years has helped to legitimize this violence and bring us to this dark moment."
Goldman, who sits on the House Judiciary and Homeland Security committees and is a former federal prosecutor, of course, doesn't blame his party for the shooting.
When asked about the White House's response, Goldman didn't even pause. "I mean, it's pretty rich given that Donald Trump's rhetoric led to January 6," he said. "And we know what Donald Trump's rhetoric leads to because we know many times over how his followers use violence in -- when they follow him."

Yes, he literally blamed President Trump for the assassination attempt against him.

Meanwhile: Comey will be arrested by federal marshals.

Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
19h
BREAKING: An arrest warrant has been issued for former FBI Director James Comey for multiple federal grand jury charges in North Carolina related to an Instagram image he posted last summer allegedly threatening the president. US Marshals will execute the arrest. Comey publicly claimed at the time that he did not create the threatening "86 47" image but merely stumbled on it while walking on the beach and photographed it. It's not clear what he told federal agents who interviewed him about it.

I know this will shock you, but it turns out those "studies" claiming that there is more political violence from the right than from the left are lies.

They -- hold on to your seats -- excluded obvious cases of left-wing violence from the tallies but include drug dealers shooting each other if they happen to be white nationalists. The supposedly "libertarian" -- really corporate left-wing liberal -- CATO institute does not include 9/11 victims in the count.

The ADL just flatly defines antisemitism as "right-wing" -- even when left-wing Palestinians kill Jews, they claim that the Palestinians as "ethnonationalism" which is then defined as "right-wing."

Batya-Ungar Sargon's >analysis is here.

One of the major sources is the Prosecution Project, an initiative of the University of Cincinnati, which analyzes felony criminal cases involving political violence and sorts them by ideology. "The project examines criminal complaints, indictments and court records, looking for crimes that seek 'a socio-political change or to communicate' to outside audiences," per The Economist. "Its data show that extremists on both left and right commit violence, although more incidents appear to come from right-leaning attackers."
Yet if you pull up the data center yourself, you can see immediately that it is deeply flawed.
Share
The data set doesn't include either of the previous two assassination attempts on President Trump's life, as far as I can tell; a search for the time frame and the names of the would-be assassins turns up zero hits. Nor does it include the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The data set is based on prosecutions, which might explain the absence of Thomas Crooks, who died at Butler. But what explains the absence of Trump's other would-be assassin, Ryan Wesley Routh, or Tyler Robinson, who killed Charlie Kirk? I couldn't find Elias Rodriguez on the list either, who shot and killed two people outside the Jewish Museum in D.C. in May of 2025 to protest the war in Gaza.
It's pretty easy to say that the violence is coming overwhelmingly from the Right if you overwhelmingly edit out any political violence from the Left.
The editing goes deep. During the summer of 2020, the George Floyd riots were in full swing. Political violence claimed the lives of dozens of Americans and caused $2 billion in property damage. Yet the data set from the Prosecution Project lists a grand total of five incidents "left wing" incidents that summer, two of them "eco-animal focused," meaning it counts just three incidents of left-wing violence during that time.
Compare this to a list compiled by Forbes of 19 people who lost their lives during the first 14 days of George Floyd riots. Why don't these people merit a mention in the Prosecution Project? They were killed during a politically motivated explosion of violence and rioting. These were, to cite the Project's own criteria, "crimes that seek 'a socio-political change or to communicate' to outside audiences." Yet they do not appear in the dataset.
Surely we can all agree that their omission massively skews the data.
Maybe you think that people murdered during political riots shouldn't count as victims of political violence. But what about a meth dealer who happens to belong to the Aryan Brotherhood? Should their meth dealing count as political violence?
The Prosecution Project thinks so! Among the Right-wing examples it makes sure to include, you'll find an Aryan Brotherhood meth gang that merited 10 entries for drug-related crimes. I'm no fan of the Aryan Brotherhood, but can you honestly say this is an example of Right-wing political violence? In what world does producing meth constitute "crimes that seek 'a socio-political change or to communicate' to outside audiences"?
You can also find people on the list who did things like vandalize an LGBTQ crosswalk--though not people who vandalized entire neighborhoods in 2020 in the name of racial justice.
Is vandalism political violence? I guess only if you're conservative.

No, both sides aren't equally responsible for political violence. The media loves sharing graphs and "data" showing the Right is more violent than the Left, but the organizations producing that data are cooking the books so they can smear the Right with the Left's crimes. pic.twitter.com/nqidqSOcTu

63 When you control the dictionary…

It happens incredibly often. Government austerity is defined as spending more and raising taxes. Recessions are defined as when the economy was at its best. The end of a recession is defined as when it is most deep. Government-run price-controlled exchanges are defined as free markets.

Children are defined as up to age 26, which makes them a majority of entry-level workers, which means that children lose health care when jobs drop (usually from unspecified Leftist policies).

Much of it is deliberately hypocritical, as if defining abstinence as drinking more is an excuse for drinking more when abstinence fails.

The best part of that exchange is that Zeldin replied with the actual language of two recent Supreme Court rulings on the topic that obviously DeLauro knew nothing about.

Her supporters are saying that Zeldin was "condescending" and "arrogant" because he was rude enough to point out that she had no idea what she was talking about.

======

A solid section of modern leftists explain away their violence because the Marxist revolution has taken a backseat, intellectually, to intersectionality.

Intersectionality demands victims and oppressors.

If Trump is a victim of violence, then he deserves political power.

Therefore, he cannot be a victim of violence. Therefore, all attempts on his life were actually done by conservatives who are oppressors.

Things moved to politics and the other couple started talking about global warming and our poster responded with something like, "Oh yes I'm sure global warming is true but I haven't really looked into it" and her new "friends" started haranguing her and demanding she say it was a fact.

And in this thread a bunch of lefties chimed in to say that never happened but...I've seen it, we see some of it here in this exchange between Zeldin and DeLauro and it just seems to be everywhere...

lol the third "assassination attempt" is just the media trying to make a guy who tripped on a stage in into a martyr again.

No one cares much about this. "Meh, someone tried to shoot Trump again." Even Trump supporters don't seem more concerned about a ballroom.

We knew it was a hoax when it was revealed that the shooter is a black man that was taken in alive.

Probably just a coincidence that when his campaign was hitting rock bottom there was this "assassination attempt" where a bullet barely grazed him and now when his popularity is hitting rock bottom there is another one.

Only one Secret Service agent fired his weapon at all. And it was the agent who was hit - that was in paras 13/14 of the indictment yesterday.

245 Trump repeatedly called for peace. The crowd was peaceful until the Capitol Police fired tear gas and concussion grenades into them. They opened the doors and let the crowd enter and most of them were reasonably civilized, other than the left wing agitators that entered and broke windows.

The only people that died that day were at the hands of Capitol Police who shot and beat unarmed women.

Posted by: Heroq

That is Schlae's argument in part but it ignores some wider considerations. Basically the reparations scheme where the US banks by loans backstopped Germany who used those loans to pay Britain and France which in turn paid the US broke down. Wall Street drop was a minor influence. And Smoot Hawley had little if anything to do with the breakdown of US trade. And only fractions of a percent of GDP decline.

It was a financial crisis based on WWI and Versailles aggravated by factors like overinvestment into things like electrification and power grids. Financialization and globalization can never actually eliminate real economic losses. It can only paper them over with bad debt.

I find TV unwatchable anyway for political commentary. Same for debates. Mugging for the camera, evasions, half truths, and distortions are inevitable in a tv production.

Unless the party or his counsel is going to destroy evidence, discovery is invaluable. If they're claiming some kind of privilege, eventually a privilege log will have to be produced, and the judge can review the allegedly privileged documents and rule whether they have to be produced.

If they do destroy evidence and get caught, they'll get hit with a spoliation claim. If the attorney was complicit, he'll find himself before the bar association.

I can't count the number of times text messages have screwed the entity I work for in recent years because they had to be produced in litigation.

Posted by: Harry Vandenburg

Feds tightening money by requiring more reserves caused the bank the fail and yes, I agree with Friedman. The Fed as being run by representatives of the top banks at the time were terrified about the Trans Atlantic defaults on debt payments from UK, France, and Germany.

But instead of loosening credit or some other mechanism to fix or ameliorate the issues for the big banks, they tightened across the US on regular banks at exactly the wrong time.

The truth is that these large American banks should have never been engaged in foreign loans to sovereign countries in the first place.

Same issues arose in the 80's and early 90's. Only investment banks which can be allowed to fail should be involved in such risky measures.

The rhetoric and predictions behind climate change "science" change so haphazardly, it's a sure sign that the entire field of study is fraudulent. If the manufactured hysteria is not enough to clue people in, the failed predictions of Al Gore should do the trick.

Former Vice President Al Gore warned a Hollywood audience this week that a "Gulf Stream collapse" could occur within 25 years, leading to an abrupt and devastating new Ice Age.

Mr. Gore, now 78, appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event, co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. He participated in a keynote conversation with actor Bradley Whitford of “The West Wing,” timed to the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Donald Trump’s rhetoric has connections to acts of violence committed by his followers. (Got that.)

347 "Imports in 1929 were only 4.2% of the U.S. GNP, and exports were only 5.0%. Monetarists, such as Milton Friedman, who emphasized the central role of the money supply in causing the depression, considered the Smoot–Hawley Act to be only a minor cause of the Great Depression in the United States."

And the truth is world trade was declining anyway due to the breakdown of international banks and sovereign debt crisis. And that cause was the huge wastage of money in WWI by warring powers. All the carry trade on sovereign debt did was to delay the impact until it was apparent that these debts could not and would not be repaid.

But the Fed is what made it worse into a Depression. Prior panics over matters (see the 1870's banking crisis over France losing to Prussia causing the panic in the US) or the later 1890's panic in the US based on European bank failures, provided the impetus in part for a US Fed Reserve. But in a crisis intended for the Fed to act, they failed the test.

IN EPOCHAL RULING, SUPREME COURT HOLDS, 6-3, THAT RACIAL GERRYMANDERS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL -- MUCH LESS REQUIRED BY THE CONSTITUTION

I don't know if the southern states affected like this can impose an emergency redistricting double-quick for the midterms, but some analysts believe that this ruling will eventually flip 19 Democrat seats to Republican.

Huge. Just huge.

The Supreme Court just handed down one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation -- and Democrats are not going to like it one bit.
In a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, the majority held that Louisiana's congressional map -- redrawn to include a second majority-black district -- constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Court stopped short of striking down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act entirely, but it dramatically narrowed the ways in which states may use race when drawing congressional maps.

Zachary Donnini
@ZacharyDonnini
52m
Kagan seems to be pretty damn sure that Section 2 is gutted in her dissent:
"The new Callais requirements will effectively insulate any practice, including any districting scheme, said by a State to have any race-neutral justification. That justification can sound in traditional redistricting criteria, or else can sound in politics and partisanship. As to the latter, the State need do nothing more than announce a partisan gerrymander."

Full decision here.

Now we know why the Kennedy assassination was a true "national tragedy".

There have been 20 Republican Presidents.

3 were assassinated + 2 were shot.

That's 15% assassinated, 25% shot.

In 1963, Republicans mourned and Democrats mourned. So it was national. A Democrat had been assassinated.

Cato and the other liar organizations got nothing to say about this established historical trend.

I'm not worried about the birthright citizenship ruling. If it turns out it that doesn't go in Trump's favor (which it probably won't) you can simply tax all anchor babies turned adults that live abroad for any income they earn outside the US borders. If they don't pay up, they forfeit their citizenship; we either get their money or they lose their vote. They're not going to get both.

107 Alito:
Gingles was decided at a time when this Court often paid insufficient attention to the language of statutory provisions, and Justice Brennan’s opinion for the Court followed this pattern.
[lol, what a FU this is]

For this reason, the focus of sec. 2 must be enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment’s prohibition on intentional racial discrimination.
...
In short, sec. 2 imposes liability only when the evidence supports a strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race.
--
Before, and Kagan whines, mere showing of racial effect was sufficient
Now, they must show racial intent was the almost sole motivation to draw the district.

111 I posted this in the art thread but gonna repeat it here:

These retards in the dissent are describing EXACTLY what Virginia is attempting to do to the voters in the more rural parts of the state. The only difference is that the people they intend to dilute and disenfranchise are white and therefore don't matter to democrats.

QUOTE from the Dissent:
The state legislature decides to eliminate the
circle district, slicing it into six pie pieces and allocating one
each to six new, still solidly White congressional districts.
The State’s Black voters are now widely dispersed, and (unlike the State’s White voters) lack any ability to elect a representative of their choice. Election after election, Black
citizens’ votes are, by every practical measure, wasted.

Posted by: Boss Moss at April 29, 2026 12:13 PM (I2/7O)

======

Democrats are tightly grouped in three cities in NC.

Charlotte, Durham, and Raleigh. Everything else is Republican.

Makes it real easy with a supermajority of Republicans in the legislature to draw maps (that the governor can't say anything about at all, according to the NC constitution) to centralize their representation in those cities.

Black politicians will still be elected, but now they will have to appeal to everyone, which is much better for the country.

This should pretty much put an end to the insane racist communist minority politician.

Thoooough, admittedly the insane racist communist minority teh ghey politician Barack Obama was elected by pretty much every group nationwide.

Reality.

Existing representatives don't want their D+10 seats to become D+3 seats. There are intraparty reasons at work.

123 The only difference is that the people they intend to dilute and disenfranchise are white and therefore don't matter to democrats.

New England is 40% Republican, and doesn't have a single Republican congressman.

124 Alito (yeah, we're not playing the "cry racism" game anymore):

The upshot of Rucho was that, as far as federal law is concerned, a state legislature may use partisan advantage as a factor in redistricting. And litigants cannot circumvent that rule by dressing their political-gerrymandering claims in racial garb. Imposing liability “based on the racial effects of a political gerrymander in a jurisdiction in which race and partisan preference are very closely correlated . . . would, if accepted, provide a convenient way for future litigants and lower courts to sidestep our holding in Rucho that partisan gerrymandering claims are not justiciable in federal court.” Alexander, 602 U. S., at 21. “Instead of claiming that a State impermissibly set a target Republican-Democratic breakdown, a plaintiff could simply reverse-engineer the partisan data into racial data and argue that the State impermissibly set a particular [racial] target. Our decisions cannot be evaded with such ease.”

148 Spicy Alito:
fn2 The dissent claims that the Fourteenth Amendment is irrelevant to our analysis, post, at 39–40, n. 11 (opinion of KAGAN, J.), but the dissent appears to forget—or at least tries to lead readers to forget—that the decision before us is based on the Fourteenth Amendment.

That analysis had its priorities backwards. The Fifteenth Amendment, which the Voting Rights Act enforces, “is not designed to punish for the past” but works “to ensure a better future.” Shelby County, 570 U. S., at 553. The focus of §2 must therefore be on “current conditions,” not on “decades-old data relevant to decades-old problems.”

Third, while the dissent wraps itself in the mantle of stare decisis, the dissent is unabashedly at war with key precedents. See post, at 45 (claiming that Rucho was disastrously wrong and should be cabined); post, at 5, 8–9, 42–43 (repeatedly criticizing Shelby County and citing the dissent in that case); post, at 4 (criticizing the Court’s decision in Brnovich). Respect for precedent cannot be a one-way street.

164 Thomas (and Gorsuch), burn it all down:
As I explained more than 30 years ago, I would go further and hold that §2 of the Voting Rights Act does not regulate districting at all. See id., at 922–923. The relevant text prohibits States from imposing or applying a “voting qualification,” “prerequisite to voting,” or “standard, practice, or procedure,” in a manner that results in a denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race. 52 U. S. C. §10301(a). How States draw district lines does not fall within any of those three categories. Holder, 512 U. S., at 922–923 (opinion of THOMAS, J.); Allen v. Milligan, 599 U. S. 1, 46 (2023) (THOMAS, J., dissenting). The words in §2 instead “reach only ‘enactments that regulate citizens’ access to the ballot or the processes for counting a ballot’; they
‘do not include a State’s . . . choice of one districting scheme over another.’” Ibid. (quoting Holder, 512 U. S., at 945 (opinion of THOMAS, J.)). Therefore, no §2 challenge to districting should ever succeed.

I heard Mollie Hemingway interviewed last week about her book "Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution."

She mentioned two things: (1) there is some historical "white whale" SCOTUS decision that Alito wants to be able to help possibly overturn (sorry, can't recall which); and (2) there are three Justices on the right over age 70 now (obviously Thomas) but even Roberts (which I wasn't aware of).

186 Not just the south. In Pennsylvania, the Democrats challenged a republican redistricting years ago. Despite the republican majority in the legislature and the PA constitution saying only the legislature can re-district, the PA SC (Liberal then and liberal now) shot it down, and THEN hired a Stanford Univ. political hack to come in and redistrict on their behalf (violating the constitution). This hack then proceeded to apply the same process that is just ruled illegal by the USSC. And, of coure the redistricting in PA ended up removing republican seats. The same Stanford hack professor did the same in SC, and KY.

215 People's Hippo Voice @164 that's a key point I was going to add.

The catastrophe of judicial usurpation of legislative and executive power is brightly illustrated in the entire history of the VRA. Section 2 does in any way justify racial gerrymanders (which, separately, are abhorrent and unconstitutional in themselves).

The absurd self-regard and mumbo jumbo and toxic arrogance of the Legal Cult - empowered by supine legislatures and cowardly executives - have crippled this country in ways very few understand. Great to see small reversals of this long decline.

The amendment was directed at preventing states from banning voters by race, not to provide secure districts for minorities.

The Court has long said that the emergency provisions of the VRA of 1965 could not be justified constitutionally any other way than being considered an 'emergency'. You cannot have a constitutional emergency that lasts in perpetuity.

Even with the Democrat Census Director intentionally tanking the 2020 census result, Democrats still lost seats. Right after Trump got cheating out of the presidency and the GOP was completely cowed.

So, there are limits to what finagling things can happen.

282 This is a byproduct of the 1981 New Jersey "Consent decree" finally expiring in 2018, which allowed contestation of Gerrymanders, voter roll cleanups, voters ID requirements, etc. That consent decree effectively handcuffed scared repubs nationwide, but particularly in the south to remain silent, not fightback in any way shape or form...to avoid being labeled "Racist" and having congress/federal agencies able to regulate all state/local elections. The Prime threat of those attacks was actions and efforts of the SPLC, and the NAACP..."Shut up...Or ELSE!". The original "Offense" took place in an offyear, NJ Governors race, but the DNC managed to use the tool of the Ill Considered Consent decree to cripple the Republicans and the actual "Word of Law"nationwide for 45 YEARS.

Majority Minority districts came about because the DoJ during the Reagan Bush years decided that was a tactic for the GOP to gain seats in the South. Drawing upon the disparate impact precedents, the DoJ constructed the idea that proportional representation of a minority population was required. That in turn, destroyed moderate Blue Dogs as you had either distinctly white, or black predominate majority districts in the state legislatures as well as the congressional districts. Civil Rights Division (which were race libs) came up with the idea but the top mgmt at DoJ embraced it (and the CRD implemented some of Lani Guinier ideas on representation).

It was related to preclearance under the Emergency provisions of the VRA which were still in effect and extended by Congress several times.

Once the machine started, the new black Democrats obviously were not going to upset the apple cart as it would abolish their districts. So it destroyed moderate Southern Dems to the benefit of very liberal blacks in urban areas and white GOP candidates.

Gingles ratified it.

My elderly mother would overhear some black ladies discussing voting for their sister at the poll.

Don't get me wrong, there are great black people my family knows and I was not raised in entrenched racism and hatred. The inner cities are one thing, the country people in the rural areas are another type of white and blacks who look out for each other.

This is why I was never surprised at the bs that went on in big blue cities with illegals, as it's been done by Dimmycrats for decades.

Turning the red state of MS redder by wiping out the Delta is going to sting. LA is worse in corruption.

The shrunken blue pocket of Georgia (Atlanta...an airport I try to avoid) is not surprising.

Look for the older and far superior Liberty!, The American Revolution by Thomas Fleming, an actual historian. Shown on PBS in 1997 originally and then the History Channel back in the day and Fleming wrote a book. Far better than Ken Burns crapola techniques which are dated and woke nowadays.

Fleming was not a woke historian but a genuine American treasure who could write historical novels and straight history in a clear and concise way. Died in the last couple of years but had a very long and productive career.

Historically correct. There were hardly any GOP members around in the South after Reconstruction. A few state representatives in the Appalachians now and again in VA, NC, and GA.

Had to compile the data for a prof that I worked for as an research assistant. In the sixties, you began to see a few GOP congress and state reps/senators in new suburban districts around cities and this increased modestly by the 70's. It was really the Reagan Bush DoJ though that killed the S. Democrat rule over Dixie with majority minority districts being pushed in preclearance under the Voting Rights Act emergency clause.

I concur. I've read three of his books:

383 As I explained more than 30 years ago, I would go further and hold that §2 of the Voting Rights Act does not regulate districting at all. See id., at 922–923. The relevant text prohibits States from imposing or applying a “voting qualification,” “prerequisite to voting,” or “standard, practice, or procedure,” in a manner that results in a denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race. 52 U. S. C. §10301(a). How States draw district lines does not fall within any of those three categories. Holder, 512 U. S., at 922–923 (opinion of THOMAS, J.); Allen v. Milligan, 599 U. S. 1, 46 (2023) (THOMAS, J., dissenting). The words in §2 instead “reach only ‘enactments that regulate citizens’ access to the ballot or the processes for counting a ballot’; they
‘do not include a State’s . . . choice of one districting scheme over another.’” Ibid. (quoting Holder, 512 U. S., at 945 (opinion of THOMAS, J.)). Therefore, no §2 challenge to districting should ever succeed.

Polemics and hagiographies eventually get forgotten but devastating objective and fair treatments (like Caro's of LBJ) permanent leave a mark.

433 I'm a li'l confused myself. The decision still lets states district by political affiliation, and that's an easy shortcut to racial districting, isn't it?

From Hippo's quote of Alito in #124:

Alito (yeah, we're not playing the "cry racism" game anymore):

The upshot of Rucho was that, as far as federal law is concerned, a state legislature may use partisan advantage as a factor in redistricting. And litigants cannot circumvent that rule by dressing their political-gerrymandering claims in racial garb. Imposing liability “based on the racial effects of a political gerrymander in a jurisdiction in which race and partisan preference are very closely correlated . . . would, if accepted, provide a convenient way for future litigants and lower courts to sidestep our holding in Rucho that partisan gerrymandering claims are not justiciable in federal court.” Alexander, 602 U. S., at 21. “Instead of claiming that a State impermissibly set a target Republican-Democratic breakdown, a plaintiff could simply reverse-engineer the partisan data into racial data and argue that the State impermissibly set a particular [racial] target. Our decisions cannot be evaded with such ease.”

The RNC gave Democrats the win. That's the explanation.

In 2020 and 2022, under Ronna McDaniel, the RNC was more concerned with corruption and playing nice with Democrats in the hope that a post-Trump Republican Party would be treated nicer by Democrats.

Trump finally got McDaniel fired and replaced by Lara Trump and Michael Whatley. They actively worked to stymie Democrat efforts at cheating.

Election night 2024, Philadelphia tried to shut down counting at about 10pm. The RNC immediately sued and Philadelphia kept counting (Trump won the state by pure coincidence).

The story of the 2020 and 2022 cheats isn't that Democrats got real good at it, but that Republicans actively helped make it happen.

WASHINGTON — King Charles III presented President Trump with the bell from a World War II-era British submarine — dubbed the HMS Trump — at the White House state dinner Tuesday, where the two leaders bonded over highs and lows of the centuries-long US-UK relationship.

The shiny brass bell bearing Trump’s name and 1944, the year the submarine left a UK shipyard, was part of a vessel that played “a critical role during the war in the Pacific,” according to the king.

The left still lies and says Obama deported more people than any other president. Because he redefined what the word deportation meant. Under his reign, someone caught at the border and sent back was reclassified as a deportation. Which goosed up the numbers bigly. Meanwhile actual deportations fell to almost zero.

============
Before the court of appeals, multi judge panels were used for all appellate matters; after 1896, they were used where state laws were declared unconstitutional.

We should actually go back to that along with direct appeals involved so that the decisions binding to one state are binding precedent to another.

That in part is how the massive resistance to Scotus on integration failed. The district judge panels ruled, Scotus affirmed or reversed, then those binding precedents were enforced on other states doing the same crap. Reason Democrats abolished most of it aside from voting districts in 1976.

Basically panels of judges for unconstitutionality removes the stupidity and partisanship of one judge and it would also force Scotus to make a ruling immediately by bypassing the Courts of Appeals on such matters.

Also true.

The GOP has been actively trying to "win by losing" for years.

All this does is lead to losing.

However, the biggest loser ends up being the party leaders who try it because they push out their most loyal congressmen while the upstart taking over the party has an easier time of filling those seats with loyalists.

It's honestly how Gaetz was able to get rid of McCarthy. There were simply not enough McCarthy loyalists in the very thin GOP majority to stop a small group of upstarts from causing trouble.

In a somber tone, Kagan read a summary of her 48-page dissent from the bench – a signal of her strong disagreement with the majority’s ruling. “The Voting Rights Act,” she wrote “is—or, now more accurately, was—‘one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation’s history.’” But the requirements that the court imposes on Wednesday, she contended, “will effectively insulate any practice, including any districting scheme, said by a State to have any race-neutral justification. That justification can sound in traditional districting criteria, or else can sound in politics and partisanship. As to the latter, the State need do nothing more than announce a partisan gerrymander,” she said. “Assuming the State has left behind no smoking-gun evidence of a race-based motive (an almost fanciful prospect), Section 2 will play no role.”

In another sign of her disagreement with the majority’s decision, Kagan omitted the traditional “respectfully” from her conclusion, writing only, “I dissent.”

My mention was that of states that were redistricting. This decision simply prevents, like the shadow docket decisions on Texas, challenges under the VRA going forward.

Gingles is dead, mort, is no more. That decision allowed majority minority districts as long as the other factors (contiguity, political community, etc.) were not violated. Same as Bakke and later decisions on racial admissions to schools. Under Gingles, correcting racial imbalances in representation could be a factor but not the determinative one.

The NC district in Gingles was so badly drawn that it followed the interstate to connect urban islands to create a Dem majority minority district. The joke was you could go down the interstate and hit every voter with your car doors open between those urban redoubts.

My supervising prof in grad school for my research assistantship was an expert witness for that case.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Blink

There is a problem with high-stakes and costly agreements among many parties, whether those agreements are secret or open. They can hold up only so long as everyone involved is willing to hold the line and do what they agreed to do with the other parties. In order to accomplish this, there must be both incentives and long-term gain - and all of the parties have to participate and not fight each other. If the incentives change or become irrelevant, or if the playing field suddenly shifts and throws the old assumptions out the window, or there is major infighting, it creates a major stability problem.

This is a basic problem for cartels. In order for a cartel to work, it has to be able to fix price, and fixing price requires rigid control of supply. This can increase profits for the cartel's members, but it is a dangerous game unless there is absolute control (or, at least, near-absolute control) of supply, adequate incentive to not cheat and for members to not work against each-other. If any of this breaks down, cartel members will cheat or leave the game because it is no longer in the member's best interest to play by the rules or remain in the game. On a long enough timeline, this will always happen and it appears that it just happened with everyone's favorite cartel.

Yesterday, the UAE announced that it was leaving OPEC, and is doing so more or less immediately. The country is withdrawing from the cartel on Friday. OPEC will survive and still represents a significant amount of global oil production - especially if one considers "OPEC+" psuedo-members like Russia - but the loss of its third-largest member is going to have major consequences for the organization. Its ability to control price is going to be even more sorely tested - and seriously questioned - than it already is. Especially because unlike many OPEC members, the UAE has spare capacity - and spare capacity is a major control mechanism. The loss of the UAE is probably a very big deal.

It is also the consequence of two things that have moved rapidly against the cartel's stability. The first is the Iran war. Iran is an OPEC member that has spent more than a month hurling missiles at its fellow cartel members in direct attack and now is interfering with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - something that has direct negative effects on its fellow members and particularly on the UAE. Iran broke the most basic rule of cartels, which is that you don't attack your fellow conspirators. But it is not just Iran. Iran may have been the final straw, but there are bigger structural problems facing OPEC, namely supply and politics.

OPEC+ ostensibly controls about 80% of global supply, but there are some big asterisks next to that. First, most producers in OPEC aren't all that big and don't have much slack in their production capacity and need to keep pumping to keep their petrostates from collapsing. A lot of the supply is in OPEC, but much of it is in the "must produce" column. Another is policy competition. For a long time, the cartel has had a monopoly in oil-as-policy-tool. There were major non-OPEC members like Russia, but they also didn't usually use oil as a policy tool. That was OPEC's game - until Trump. Trump does use energy as policy, and he has worked to make the US as productive as possible. There is now another party playing policy with energy, and it is a very big party indeed.

OPEC cuts supply? We can raise it and blunt the effect to some degree - and the market will take care of it all on its own. OPEC gives a sweetheart deal we don't like? We'll sanction the country on the receiving end, install tariffs or do other trade-as-policy-tool things to interfere with it. The US is not a petrostate. Oil here is an industry - a hugely important one, but still just one of many. We have flexibility that petrostates do not, and Trump has been using that flexibility. Someone blinking was inevitable, and the UAE clearly sees first-mover advantage in doing so.

The UAE sugar-coated its departure as best it could:

"This has nothing to do with any of our brothers or friends within the group," Al Mazrouei said. "We've been working together for years and years. We have the highest respect for the Saudis for leading OPEC."
The UAE remains committed to market stability and will continue to cooperate with producers and consumers to that end, the Energy Ministry said in its written statement. Its departure from OPEC will give the UAE more flexibility to respond to market dynamics, the ministry added.
"We reaffirm our appreciation for the efforts of both OPEC and the OPEC+ alliance and wish them success," the Energy Ministry said.

"Good luck in your future endeavors." The Saudis want to cut supply given the long erosion in oil price (Iran war notwithstanding), but the UAE does not.

The UAE has the ambition to achieve 5 million barrels per day of capacity by 2027 and wants more freedom of action to pursue that goal, the energy minister added. The decision to leave OPEC is not a response to years of production cuts led by Saudi Arabia, he said.

"We want to increase production and you want us to cut it, but we promise that's not why we're leaving" is such a boldly contradictory statement that one can only laugh.

Some, of course, keep whistling past the graveyard. The Guardian, desperate to maintain the party line, has blamed UAE's departure on ... so-called "decarbonization:"

The shift to low-carbon energy is also likely to have played a role in the UAE's exit. Producers that are able to pump more crude, and can tolerate lower oil prices, are expected to abandon any limits on crude production in favour of monetising their remaining reserves before demand for fossil fuels begin to decline.

The Guardian's Jillian Ambrose missed her true calling as a comedienne. You don't have to go grasping for straws to see what happened here, and it isn't a consequence of the energy-hating envirocommunists. The ground simply shifted, all at once. The global oil market has been changing for years, Iran is shooting missiles at its putative partners, too many OPEC members can't cut production and at least one of the few who meaningfully can no longer wants to help carry the rest at the expense of its own ambitions.

The world changed and it was only a matter of time before someone blinked.

"The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana’s second majority Black congressional district in a decision that could open the door for Republican-led states to eliminate Black and Latino electoral districts that tend to favor Democrats and affect the balance of power in Congress.

In a 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservative majority found that the district, represented by Democrat Cleo Fields, relied too heavily on race. Chief Justice John Roberts had described the district as a “snake” that stretches more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) to link parts of the Shreveport, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge areas."

And to keep this on oil production, well, the Gulf does oil...yes, it's a reach, but I figured you all would like to see Roberts do something right...

117 George P. Mitchell — The “Father of Fracking”
George Phydias Mitchell (May 21, 1919 – July 26, 2013) is widely credited as the pioneer who made hydraulic fracturing (fracking) commercially viable for shale gas.

Mitchell founded Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. in the 1950s, which grew into a Fortune 500 company. In the 1980s, he turned his attention to the Barnett Shale in North Texas — a dense rock formation that had been tapped for oil and gas above and below, but not from within.
Conventional methods failed, so Mitchell and his team experimented with hydraulic fracturing, injecting water, sand, and chemicals into the shale to create fractures that released trapped natural gas.

While hydraulic fracturing had been used since the late 1940s, Mitchell’s innovation was in applying it economically and reliably to shale gas extraction. His persistence paid off in 1997, when a key well demonstrated that fracking could produce gas profitably over the long term.

At the start of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the voice over describes Jesse James as excessively blinking, but it is said over images of James watching a field fire and not blinking at all.

This is a goof and proof that the movie is badly made.

148 "The UAE remains committed to market stability and will continue to cooperate with producers and consumers to that end, the Energy Ministry said in its written statement. Its departure from OPEC will give the UAE more flexibility to respond to market dynamics, the ministry added."

149 The shift to low-carbon energy is also likely to have played a role in the UAE's exit. Producers that are able to pump more crude, and can tolerate lower oil prices, are expected to abandon any limits on crude production in favour of monetising their remaining reserves before demand for fossil fuels begin to decline.

--------------

BWAHAHAHA!

Demand for fossil fuels (likely enough available for at least five centuries) will only decline owing to: (1) idiotic suicidal GloboHomo Western "democracy" government policies & mandates; (2) ubiquitous adoption of nuclear power; and/or (3) your fever dream of significantly wiping the "Human Virus" off the face of the planet.

I'll pull out this drum I banged way back in 2012: The plan McCain floated then to build 100 new nuclear plants actually WOULD have decreased demand for fossil fuels. It would have made more EVs viable (because infrastructure would have had to have been built to support them.)

But they do not want the problem actually fixed, they want their 'Life after People.'

184 People are also very irrational about gas prices.

Average person drives 12k miles a year. Average car gets 25 mpg. That’s 480 gallons of gas. If gas goes up $1 that’s an extra $480 a year. $40 a month.

It’s really not the end of the world for most people. But there’s this psychological effect that people treat the extra $40 like an extra $400 or something. Partly because the media pumps up the story as an end of the world scenario.

Obviously if you drive 20k miles a year and you drive a f350 the calculation changes. But those are edge cases. For the typical driver who drives 10 miles to work and runs a few errands on the weekend $4 gas vs $3 gas is almost a negligible change.

Today, when I came back from an errand I didn't actually hear them, but I saw the robins on the town green, and sure enough as the old song ( I think it's from the 1920's) says " They are "bob bob bobbin along."

They didn't strike down Section 2 of the VRA as unconstitutional (they probably should have), but what they did is good enough to get the GOP an additional (up to) 19 House seats in the midterms, if the legislatures in Red States get on the schneid.

Trump had some small and large SCOTUS losses this term, but this may be the biggest win for him this year. He may end up losing the birthright citizenship case, but even if he does that's not as big a deal as this win right here.

Named after Boston Mayor James Michael Curley, it results in economic stagnation but keeps the incumbent in power.

I always learn something knew hear (frequently):

"The Curley Effect is a political strategy in which incumbent politicians use wasteful, wealth-reducing policies and divisive rhetoric to encourage political opponents—often wealthier residents—to leave a city or region, thereby reshaping the electorate to favor their re-election. Named after James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston (1914–1950), the effect describes how leaders can maintain power by expanding support among poorer constituents through redistribution, even as overall economic stagnation occurs."

It also makes the districts elsewhere suspect in their redistricting including state legislative districts. Some of the districts were drawn specifically to protect incumbents and set aside districts by race.

272 I always learn something knew hear (frequently):

"The Curley Effect is a political strategy in which incumbent politicians use wasteful, wealth-reducing policies and divisive rhetoric to encourage political opponents—often wealthier residents—to leave a city or region, thereby reshaping the electorate to favor their re-election. Named after James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston (1914–1950), the effect describes how leaders can maintain power by expanding support among poorer constituents through redistribution, even as overall economic stagnation occurs."

276 "In socialists states, you don't have to work. You can lounge about and just do art."
-leftists

"If you don't work, you go to jail."
-socialist states

This exact pattern came up in a thread I was following on another forum where someone posted they hated capitalism because they didn't want to work at a job they wanted to do art and garden

Well, no one is demanding you do work a formal job in a capitalist society but if you don't have money what are you giving other people for the goods and services you want from them?

And the left's take on this - that people should VOLUNTARILY choose what goods and services they give you is...err...slavery...as opposed to just forcing them to do it.

102 Mary Magdalene before Christ's Tomb
Francisco Ribalta

Museo Del Prado -

Attributed to Francisco Ribalta
Solsona, Lérida (Spain), 1565 - Valencia (Spain), 1628

The presence in Valencia in 1521 of several works by Sebastiano del Piombo, acquired by the diplomat Jerónimo Vich, inspired various generations of local artists. In this oil, Ribalta adapted the figure of the Magdalene from one of those compositions, The Lamentation over the dead Christ, now in Saint Petersburg. As he dispensed with the other figures, he added the inscription “Quia Tulerunt Dominum Meum” (They have taken away my Lord), to express her grief.

Wikipedia, in part - "Mary Magdalene is regarded by believers as a historical figure, possibly from Magdala. She is seen as a prominent follower of Jesus who was believed to have been healed by him, supported his ministry financially, and was present at his crucifixion and burial. She played a key role among his female disciples. Overall, there is limited information about her life."

It's a beautiful painting - almost too beautiful for its theme - but I'd pass hanging it.

Thank you.

IIRC, the ending of the film "The Passion of The Christ" depicted Jesus rising from a sarcophagus -- and you could see through the stigmata in his hands ... setting up the sequel (which I'm eagerly awaiting, "The Resurrection of the Christ" -- split into two parts and scheduled for release in 2027).

One of my favorite memories as a kid in the late 60s growing up in what was then relatively small Las Vegas: for a treat, especially if we'd been well-behaved, mom would pile me and my two brothers in the car and drive a maybe 10 miles down nearby Boulder Highway in Las Vegas to a dinky little company town called Henderson (now the second largest city in Nevada) to an A&W drive-in.

I retired a few weeks ago and have been generally depressed and without purpose (although spent the last week in Medicare Hell doing research as I turn 65 in four months).

Take comfort in the fact -- as I do -- that we've both likely been at a similar junction in our lives several times in the past ... and will always find a way out of it and purpose & meaning to strive toward.

Not high enough. Republicans need to exit the midterms fearing the future of their party. We need to take enough Senate seats so Fetterman isn't the 50th Republican vote.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been working hard to cheat. Go out and vote. Don't listen to polls.

People are still supporting Republicans? Why? They're mishandling literally everything, including the "solutions" they promised and came up with themselves.

Absolutely huge poll. Hope momentum continues and carries into November. D+10 wins the Senate, including Texas, if people show up.

The MAGA media machine has not kicked in yet. With Ellison buying CNN and other media outlets under billionaires control, talk to me in October and see if it is still 10pts.

From the summary, basically, minorities have to provide an alternate map that DOES NOT use race but still accomplishes the partisan goal of the state.

And "blacks = Democrats/Democrats = blacks" is not a valid claim that the proposed map was racially based.

That's how all these minority-majority districts were created.
And the Court specifically threw that out.

To make it clear: Dems can no longer just whine "it was racist, we know it was racist because all Republicans are racists!" and get maps thrown out.
1) they have to prove the racial motivation--not infer it
2) they have to prove an alternate map will provide the same R/D mix w/o using race.

262 The most important thing now is the Purcell (IIRC) decision.

That says, "no election law changes if an election is pending."
Under the TX redistricting case, "pending" is roughly 90 days.

States have around 2-3 months to 1) redistrict, and 2) complete the primaries.
Leaving at least 90 days to the start of early voting for the General Election.

Gingles being overturned was only ever going to have a real effect for 2028 being argued last year.

AL might take advantage of it (LA will, obviously), but the FL map, for instance, is actually in alignment with Gingles (and the FL constitution which has racial requirements).

The Morning Report — 4/ 29/26

Good morning kids, Here we are after a third Democrat/Leftist assassination attempt on President Trump which comes close on the heels of low-rent astroturfed Nuremberg Rallies known as "No Kings". and yet where were these anti-imperialists yesterday when the inbred Saxe-Coburg spawn KING (formerly known as Prince) Charles spoke before Congress?

“As President Trump observed during his state visit to Britain last autumn, ‘the bond of kinship and identity between America is priceless and eternal, it is irreplacable and unbreakable,” he added to a standing ovation from the Congress.
“The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries, and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people, is truly unique, and that alliance is what Henry Kissinger described as Kennedy’s ‘soaring vision’ of an Atlantic relationship based on twin pillars, Europe and America. That partnership, I believe, Mr Speaker, is more important today than it has ever been.”

Blah blah blah blah blah... Britain is gone. It has been all but subsumed into a Zombie hellscape of a Socialist/Islamic republic, with much of Europe well on its way to suffering that same fate even within my shrinking day-by-day lifespan (and I hope I'm dead and gone before it happens).
And NATO should've been dismantled years ago. It serves zero purpose but to prop up failed Western European welfare states...

When Westminster Abbey becomes the next Hagia Sophia, then tell me about that "eternal alliance" as your head gets lopped off with a rusty meat cleaver on Al JazBBC-zira.

President Donald Trump’s declaration that, for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, “the party is over” was treated like a barbarian shout in the salon. Yet his statement has the impolite virtue of being true. For 75 years, Europe has hosted the most expensive open bar in history, all of it paid for by the United States, and called this dependency an “alliance.” Now, when the bill is presented and the host suggests perhaps the guests might behave as if they own something besides opinions, they are scandalized.
Nothing has exposed this charade more clearly than the recent confrontation with Iran. The most revealing actor was NATO Europe, which, at the precise moment when it had the strongest interest in American protection, chose instead to lecture, obstruct, and deny access to bases that exist only thanks to American power and American money.

No Kings indeed!!! If NATO can miraculously embrace a new mission of "No Emirs, Imams, Sultans along with Socialist Apparatchiks and Chi-Com Mandarins," I might reconsider my attitude provided they, EUROPE, foot at least 60% of the bill, permanently.

On a more positive note, whatever one thinks of our conflict with Iran, and how it will ultimately play out, President Donald Trump's actions caused this happened and will no doubt have positive reverberations economically and geopolitically for years to come.

OPEC’s stranglehold on the global economy is finally coming apart at the seams — thanks in large part to President Donald Trump’s efforts at home and abroad — and the result will be freer markets, long-term lower energy price and less debt slavery for developing nations. On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, long frustrated with OPEC’s limits on its oil production, declared its intent to leave the consortium within days to be free to meet consumer demand for energy on its own terms.

Meanwhile here at home in the wake of the latest leftist Democrat attempt to overthrow the American Republic by assassinating our President and his cabinet, it certainly seems as if the tone of the response by actual conservative pundits has taken a very distinct turn. Here are but two.

The American Left Is In Thrall To Political Violence. It Has To Be Destroyed. . . Left-wing political violence won’t end unless it’s actively stopped. We are not going to argue our way to peace.

Very True John Daniel Davidson of the Federalist. He doesn't mince words. Am I correct in reading that as a call for a violent response to their violence and/or a preemptive move to take them down with extreme prejudice?

And this from FrontPage Mag's Josh Hammer

Leftist Political Violence is an Existential Threat to the Republic

While he's not as overt perhaps nor directly calling for a violent response/preemption as Mr. Davidson does, nevertheless makes the very same point. Declaring the Left an "Existential threat" is not an allegory. So boys as I have asked numerous times in the past, what is to be done?

I too am at the end of my rope, and one day either us or them will be on the wrong end of an actual, not rhetorical rope!

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.

On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates, long frustrated with OPEC’s limits on its oil production, declared its intent to leave the consortium within days to be free to meet consumer demand for energy on its own terms.

I would like to know what the Saudi’s think, since they have always been the nominal leader of OPEC. But the UAE rulers have always been close to the Saudi’s, so I wonder if they gave tacit approval to the move.

It’s worth noting that the most militant troublemakers inside OPEC in the past were always Libya, Venezuela, and Iran. Oh, where are they now?

134 FYI -
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a major oil port outside the Strait of Hormuz. Fujairah, or Al Fujayrah. All other current UAE oil ports are inside the Strait. I am guessing UAE is now working to construct bigger pipelines to Fujairah, across or through the mountains that run down the center of the triangular piece of land south of the Strait. Also guessing UAE will be constructing pipelines west to the Red Sea, across Saudi Arabia.

Three of the Persian Gulf Arab oil states, all large exporters, do not have ports outside the Strait: Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. They say they are planning to construct pipelines west to the Red Sea and/or northwest to the Mediterranean.

185 Colorado Gray Wolf reintroduction update:

https://is.gd/Bm7uFa

CPW releases scant info on four wolf attacks on livestock or working dogs since the start oof the year. One cow, one dog, one calf in three separate attacks, and in the fourth attack eleven sheep. CPW withholds whether they were killed or merely maimed. Merely.

These violent maiming or killing attacks are euphemistically called "depredation events" by CPW. Sounds like something you would mark on your calendar.

Oddly, none of the four ranchers have filed for reimbursement with the state's compensation program. Makes me wonder if the process is intentionally overcomplicated.

Turnover of cabinet members is not unusual and certainly not with Trump. He often uses them like a baseball manager, right person for a specific task. People hacked on Bongino when he left but it was understood from day 1 he was only going to be there for a short time to help right the ship. Kash has confirmed it multiple times.

The DOJ had become the most corrupt institution in the government. It was filled from top to bottom with deep state actors. Why anyone is surprised the same DOJ that spent years conspiring against Trump, arresting people for parading on J6, sent armed agents to arrest people for praying outside abortion clinics and spied on Catholics for the crime of being Catholic didn't pivot in the blink of an eye to go after the people that hired them to do all of that is a mystery to me.

Job one at the DOJ was gutting as much of the corruption as possible and replacing it with honest law enforcement. That was Bondi's primary mission. Now comes the enforcement phase. Maybe this isn't Bondi's strength or maybe she just got tired of living on a military base with threats on her life.

Trump still speaks highly of her.

The gun jammed, and Naji attempted to fix it by reloading the magazine and pulling back the slide to rechamber another round, according to the footage. During these few seconds, the desk officer, Corporal Timothy Clive, pulled out his weapon and shot Naji, killing him.

She's not a secret Democrat.

She also had the misfortune of being right smack on the wrong side of the Little Trayvon op.

She is very very unlucky.

---------
A judge ruled earlier that Zimmerman’s attorneys could not question Crump before the trial. The defense wants to ask Crump, under oath, more about witness number eight, the young woman believed to be Trayvon’s girlfriend. Zimmerman’s defense team appealed the judge’s ruling.

Now, in a new 41 page legal response, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking the appeals court to agree with the judge’s decision, and to not allow the defense to question Crump in a deposition.

Embedded within the article is the obviously staged video piece Jeffries provided for the press regarding WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt demanding political rhetoric that has become normalized be toned downed. He's a disgrace, as are his staff writers for that response, imo.

>Times of the World, Karoline Leavitt LIVE | 'THIS IS DISGUSTING', Karoline Leavitt goes OFF on Kimmel’s Remark| US News(live)
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the media in a high-stakes briefing following a failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. As the sitting President recovers, federal investigators and the Secret Service are probing the major security breach that occurred during a public appearance. Leavitt provided updates on the President's condition, confirming his safety while detailing the administration's immediate response to the life-threatening incident. The briefing covered national security protocols, the pursuit of the perpetrator, and the global reaction as world leaders condemn the attack on the American head of state.

April 29, 2026

Bits and pieces -
"They have to go through a vetting process which involves biometrics, background check, running them against all the government's databases," says Ahilan Arulanantham, who represents the Syrians in Wednesday's case. "Two misdemeanors*, you're out."

(Context: *Criminal offenses less serious than felonies that might get fines, probation, a tad of jail. Common examples include: Simple assault (minor physical altercation), petty theft/shoplifting (stealing low-value items), disorderly conduct, trespassing, first time DUIs, yada, yada.)

The Haitians do have one claim that does not fall under the umbrella of immigration. They contend that the Trump administration has discriminated against them based on their race. And they cite in particular some of Trump's more inflammatory language, for instance, claiming falsely in a presidential debate in September 2024 that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, "are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there."

There's an old story of a minster in ancient China who had a deer brought into a banquet. "Is that not a fine horse?" he said to them.

Several said that it was not a horse, but a deer. Others agreed with him that it was a horse.

The ones who said it was a horse were later persecuted and driven out. The ones who praised the "horse" remained at their jobs with neck attached.

The good and true people were driven out, to be led by sycophants instead.

In a related situation, funny parallels are occurring elsewhere, when the "d!ckmen" must be called "wymen".

Six AI datacenters have been proposed in a small rural town in Pennsylvania, the equivalent of 51 Walmart Supercenters or three-and-a-half median meteorite late bombardment impact craters. (Tom's Hardware)

The town of Archbald is an unremarkable former coal-mining town that just happens to lie right on a main power line from the Susquehanna nuclear power complex.

But you gotta build those datacenters. They're the hot new thing and you can't miss out.
The sharemarket slumped on reports that OpenAI missed its internal ~~fairy tales~~ revenue targets. (Tom's Hardware)

GitHub actions are the weakest link. (Nesbitt)

And can't be fixed without breaking a lot of stuff because it's baked into the design. But given that the design is breaking more things worser, a little breaking now might be better than a lot of breaking later.

It costs twice as much as the desktop card. And is also slower; Nvidia's current laptop models are all one step lower in spec than the desktop cards. The laptop 5090 is really a 5080 with more RAM, and the 5070 is a 5060 Ti.

20 Yay. Work weasels went from Jenkins to GitLab and then to Github.

Whatever is cheapest, assuming that you ignore the man-hour cost of converting from one to another.

The same weasels that assume if you aren't typing keys on your computer, you aren't doing work for the company as a regular full-time employee. (Thinking about how to structure future work isn't work, after all.)

Same company is in full-on for AI. They are tracking token use for each employee for the agents they are paying for.

I write software; I'm not a business analyst (BA). Using an AI requires writing specifications (which is a BA job) so the agent knows what to do. BAs are important, don't get me wrong; a decent project manager will kill for a good BA.

I don't want to be one, which is why I am not one.

45 @36/"Perfessor" Squirrel: "My cat Jasmine is just laying in one of her litter boxes. Not using it as intended. Just laying there, as if it's the most comfortable bed in the world."

Perhaps she's trying to draw your attention to the fact that the litter needs a full change-out and not just a sifting?

Or maybe she's just weird.

70 AI isn't nearly the threat that some folks think it is

Local ratepayers stood for a doubling of water rates ten years ago, to increase processing capacity to take care of all projected demand for the rest of my life. It's about half paid for. The new "AI" center will neatly use up every drop of that new capacity.

Ditto, big new gas pipe feeding new power plant. Data center's own rep allows as how our power rates will triple for ten years or so until they get their on-site power approved and built, and after that will just use up all the capacity of the new pipeline.

I don't give a damn about your keyboard slamming and yabbering. I paid for those utilities, and they want them for free. They also want us to give them the land literally for free, and not pay any taxes for 20 years. Just sit the hell down.

I'd hate to see what the "slowest moving" project is

Key Bridge contract canceled: Gov. Wes Moore's 'fastest moving' claim tested

Maryland’s plan to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge hit a major setback Tuesday, as state officials abruptly canceled a key construction contract, undercutting Gov. Wes Moore’s repeated claim that the project was the nation’s “fastest-moving” large infrastructure effort.
The decision to off-ramp contractor Kiewit Infrastructure Co. from the project’s critical second phase came after its proposals “far exceeded” state estimates, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
The move forces Maryland back into the market for a new builder at a pivotal moment, as project costs have surged from roughly $1.8 billion to more than $5.2 billion. It transforms what Moore has framed as a model of speed into a high-stakes test of the administration’s ability to manage one of the most expensive and politically scrutinized infrastructure projects in the country.

I imagine if this was in a state with a Republican governor and legislature, the new bridge would be open already. This is just shameful.

-----

A bridge of a different sort

World’s largest wildlife crossing finally has an opening date

After cost overruns and delays pushed back the project by at least a year, the world’s largest wildlife bridge finally has a ribbon-cutting date.
The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, north of Los Angeles, is expected to open on Dec. 2, four-and-a-half years after work began, project leaders announced Wednesday during an Earth Day news conference.
“What a journey this has been! And we cannot wait to celebrate with you all,” managers said.
***
The project has been an emotional journey for those involved. Its goal is to reinvigorate Southern California’s iconic mountain lion population by restoring genetic diversity. Other animals that frequently get hit by cars on the 101 also stand to benefit, including bears, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, and deer.

The science is settled!

Does Beer Have a 'Surprising Health Benefit'? Here's What The Science Says

Saying that a beer provides 15% of your daily vitamin B6 sounds impressive, but it ignores the wider dietary picture.
Most people in the UK are not deficient in vitamin B6. And the same amount, or more, can easily be obtained from a standard healthy diet. A number of foods, such as potatoes, chickpeas, fortified cereals, grains, meat, and vegetables, provide vitamin B6 without the need for alcohol.
***
The paper also links vitamin B6 to important neurological functions, but does not provide evidence that beer consumption meaningfully improves brain health.
It correctly states that vitamin B6 is involved in making the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine, and confirms that beer contains measurable amounts of B6.
However, the interpretation that beer is therefore "brain boosting" is problematic.

Beer is good for you!

47 I did see Marshall Tucker in college as the Southern Belle friend of my male gang. For some reason I was the only girl with them most of the time: 5 boys. Southern Rock was big in the mid-
70's and we all loved it.

One guy was dating a classmate of mine. Some not dating or not often. I was their concert mascot I guess, or the chick who would go anywhere anytime. Two of them almost talked me into skydiving. This was pre bf/husband. Half of them liked him, half of them did not and too bad.

Great concert, I'm sure. I'm also sure I don't remember much of it but I was there.

Thanks, Doof, for the ONT.

I also agree on the dumb people on the Internet. Not on this blog, of course of intelligent people male and female.

On another I want to scream, "You dumbarse, Google it!" Yet then I feel badly for someone so stupid or wanting a link and ignore them.

Tonight there was a total dimwit (super dumb very often. I think he might be Somolian) saying that Comer probably has "his" people in the US Marshal's. Right. Right. Right. Of course.

I'd like to send a US Marshal to arrest this guy for being dumb and having a bird he is in love with (I am serious). I guess better than a furry.

Saying that a beer provides 15% of your daily vitamin B6 sounds impressive, but it ignores the wider dietary picture.
Most people in the UK are not deficient in vitamin B6. And the same amount, or more, can easily be obtained from a standard healthy diet. A number of foods, such as potatoes, chickpeas, fortified cereals, grains, meat, and vegetables, provide vitamin B6 without the need for alcohol.

Third: Doobie Brothers with a rare date, one and done.

Many more in college. Then Jethro Tull in 1975, the day before I was to return West to nursing school and the bass player fancied meeting me. My brother and friends said no to the after party and ended my only chance as a groupie.

135 I'm surprised at the wildlife bridge being built in California. You KNOW it messed up a habitat of rare Mexican fruit flies or something.

My Marine father was ticked off that fire ants were almost eradicated in the South. The EPA or similar stepped in and stopped it due to a rare minnow or stupid fish no one cared about. Planes used to fly over and dump poison, which did not faze me since I rode bikes through DDT clouds (and explains a lot).

Fire ants on our cattle farm built ant beds like you see in Africa. Can kill calves if they fall on them. One of my sons had an allergy and I once scraped them off his legs in FL as he waited to cross a street with his bike. Nasty ants and mean repeat biters. Glad to have left them behind when we moved!

I know the habitat of something slowed down the border wall during the Obungo Error of Time I'd like to forget.

Crowd surges are scary. The glass doors bowed with our bodies against them for Jethro Tull.

Then for ZZ Top security lost control of those in the stadium above us on the floor. Fun times! My guys held onto my arms as we were standing on chairs.

At Mardi Gras the crowd surge pushed my head up against the flank of a police horse. Which was better than his tail, before we got into Pat O'Brien's.

Was your gf fighting everyone or just you to add to your fun? Curious.

154 Around here they erect dozens and dozens of miles of eight-foot high fence to keep deer and migrating elk from wandering onto the highway.

But since that doesn't keep the deer and elk from getting onto the highway, every quarter mile or so they put in a one-way dirt ramp that allows the deer or elk to walk up and jump back down outside the fence line. I always mentally try to calculate the cost per mile of this mitigation effort. Seems spendy to me.

Wow. I stay calm for everything unless snakes are involved, which cause me to levitate & run in space til my feet touch ground.

I was alarmed but not panicked for my crowd surges.

Two of my guy friends and I did get busted at Disneyland and I felt a huge panic coming on but stayed quiet. We/they did not know about security cameras in the parking lot. We were very excited to ride Space Mountain as we called ourselves the Space Cadets.

They put us on golf carts & asked for ID. Which always led me to they are going to call my parents in MS freak out. Then they confiscated my friend's stuff & kicked us out of the park. That was my first trip to Disneyland & I saw the parking lot but lived. Crazy times.

I was going to California to see the beach and ride back with one of my classmates who lived above me in the old rental party house to start the semester. I still saw the Pacific and rode back with her.

My friends I did not see again til I got back in town.

Animals don't look both ways before crossing the street. Hell, most humans don't. Animals won't stare into the distance, and think..."hey, check that out. A safe place for me to cross over the road. That's great."

Nope, a coyote will lick it's nuts after chowing down on a rather slow rabbit, and head across all four lanes for no particular reason other than it feels like it.

What a damn waste of tax dollars.

IANAL, but politics junkies naturally absorb a bit just trying to understand what's going on. The courts are tedious, because their remit is purely backward-looking. (This is a side effect of the separation of powers, and annoying but positive in sum.) So, they will do infuriating things like refusing to consider whether a ballot question is improperly worded until after it's been voted on, since an issue isn't "ripe" if no harm has yet occurred for the court to remedy.

Since there are four or so fatal flaws with the Virginia gerrymander, and whenever one is dealt with the next is mooted and not "ripe" yet, it could take several years of re-voting and re-re-voting to resolve them all. The alternative is actually worse, since a forward-looking judiciary is also legislative and/or executive, and I need to re-read the Federalist Papers for details but mixed powers are prone to intractable corruption.

I don't know if there is a laser option for cataracts. The long-standing standard treatment is refractive lens replacement, which is now an outpatient surgery done with mild sedation, and local anaesthetic. Quite painless, and takes less than 15 minutes. You can see the results right away, but you wear a patch for a day or two. I had it done a few years ago, and have been delighted with the results. Wore Coke bottle glasses or soft contacts from childhood. No more! I use reading glasses for real close work, but none for distance vision.

I've got early stage cataracts, both eyes. Now, it's just annoying, especially at night. Starbursts and halos around lights.

In daytime, I see the odd shadows and some odd color effects (caused by light scattering so forth) in the side vision and that prompted me to get an eye exam last year, where they discovered the cataracts. Doc said I'm one of those that notice subtle effects more than others, apparently.

The lens in your eye is like two dishes set together face to face. The "dish" part is a transparent membrane and the space between is filled with a jelly-like liquid. That jelly gets cloudy and that's called a cataract.
To fix it, a very small slice is made in the membrane, a probe is inserted and ultrasonics are used to completely liquify the jelly, which is sucked out through the same probe. The jelly is replaced by a transparent plastic piece shaped to fit inside the membrane. Medicare will.pay for all of this, but there is an extra cost option. If you use glasses, that piece of plastic can be shaped to correctly focus the light on your retina, eliminating your glasses. This is called an IntraOcular Lens (IOL).

The artisanal, bespoke, butterfly/cougar overpass in Agoura Hills was already over $100M last we saw, compared to $15M for such bridges in other states. It's the basis for my current estimate that blue-state public spending is 85% grift. Since European countries are like blue states, but older and with more entrenched corrupt cliques, this helps explain why they're basically supine against a lightly-armed barbarian invasion: they literally can't muster resources to do things.

Lasers have nothing to do with primary cataract surgery. They're used in a separate procedure, used to reshape the lens to correct things like nearsightedness.
Now, sometimes, after the primary surgery, the cataract will return. This time, the mechanism is that the membrane holding the plastic lens will turn cloudy. In this case the treatment does involve a laser, a much more powerful one that basically melts away the center of the membrane on both sides of the plasticl lens, leaving a donut shaped remnant of of the membrane holding the lens in place.
I've had both surgeries. Both eyes have IOLs in them, and the cataract reoccured, so I had the second laser procedure.

Now, this is my experience, but there are always new procedures and devices. Your opthomologist may do something different, but the end result is removing the cloudy material and replacing it.

Elon has the contract to do that. It will cost close to $1.5B. Elon will get about $850M of that. Obviously a time machine is involved as well. Makes sense. Send the station back to 1931, then deorbit.

The colored bands you see on the horizon from those orbital videos are airglow. Here's a bunch:

https://is.gd/vgVJdY

The different layers have different colors. If you scroll down a bit you'll see one of the Milky Way and storms over Africa (the ISS blesses the rains over Africa).

The greens and reds are the higher layers, and you can't really see the stratosphere or the troposphere except right at the terminator at orbital sunrise and set.

That rains in Africa goes on until sunrise, and right there at the last you'll see a thin blue line. That's the stratosphere. Look off to the side as the sun gets higher and you'll see another really thin line under the blue. That's the troposphere.

That thin blue line and the even thinner one below is what keeps up pressurised agin' the vacuum. That's our very thin little security blanket.

DDS - Apologies for piling on here - but I have to agree with the comments above. Cataract surgery is very commonplace now, and that's because the technology has improved to a point where what was once a very technically difficult surgery has become refined to a quick and minimally invasive outpatient procedure. And, more importantly is that it is effective. My dad had it back in, I think 2012 or 2013, and the effects were almost instantaneous - with almost 20-20 clear vision restoration. He passed on a few years ago - but his vision was excellent until the end. Definitely consult your ophthalmologist about it. Best of luck!

God forgive me, but I have been thinking similarly. Liberal AWFULS threatening us by not breeding and/or dispatching their own offspring? I have horribly grown open to perhaps not encouraging it, but to thinking "well, better that there are fewer of these evil shitlibs . . . ." Then I feel guilty and want to go to church, but then I remember that the Pope is a commie @ssclown so I don't really go that much anymore; which, in turn, makes me feel bad about myself, too.

313 I haven't figured out why the Surface Laptop is so expensive. Why? I've used one before. They're nothing special. My sister liked hers but it stopped updating due to MS aging things out for kicks. So I put Linux Mint on it. Ran fine, but she wasn't updating it and now it won't update at all, so I'll have to mess with it when I go visit in May-June. I'll probably just re-install Mint or put a different version of it. She doesn't use it much anymore except to stream music. She has other IT toys she uses for important stuff.

I only know that because housecats are crepuscular, wakeful at both dusk and dawn, so it's against their nature to sleep the whole night through. The flip side of catching naps throughout the day -- as obligate carnivores do to conserve energy -- is being awake when you (and their prey) least expect it.

113 Brazil when I was there had lots of uncoated power lines overhead, in cities. Always exciting when wind or a storm would rock the lines, and they'd flash and explode a bit when touching. Yikes.

In the post-Soviet USSR "left lines" were strung in many cities to connect to main lines that would be hot when lots of other lines were cold most of the time. Power generation could be spotty in many places. Ditto water pressure, of course. Always checked and if there was water flowing you'd fill the buckets that were thoughtfully provided, plus a bathtub if there was one.

Yerevan, Armenia was kind of cool to walk around at night - almost always blacked out. Eerie. During winter, not so nice, but I was not there much in the cold weather.

There is a very well know case of a 6 year old boy helping his father grind up a tree in 2012, in Salem, Connecticut. The boy was feeding a branch into the chipper and it pulled him in. He was gone in an instant.

EVERYONE involved in the case was a mental disaster for a long time.

126 Once talked to a guy at Mission Beach with a metal detector. He said his best find was in fact a very valuable bejeweled engagement ring. It had some identifying marks on it. Forget how, think he contacted some high-end local jewelers, and they were able to find the owner. He returned it to the owners and (understandably) they insisted on giving him a few $K as a reward. Interesting story.

They have blade brakes now for table saw that can stop the saw in a tiny fraction of a second. Surely some analog of that technology could be applied to wood chippers and other inherently dangerous machines. Perhaps some sort of guard around the chute opening, that if pressed with sufficient force, would close a switch and fire a powder-actuated brake wedge to stop the drum in a quarter revolution. Use shear pins in the drive from motor to the drum, so if the drum got stopped by brake, the pins would shear, and the motor could continue to run, unharmed.

MkY can tell you better than I, my experience was a long time ago and I'm sure safety features have greatly improved since then. But some stuff is just inherently dangerous. The whole point of a chainsaw is to have an exposed chain driven set of blades. And if you are going to chip big pieces of trees they gotta get in there some how.

I actually loved the job. Got to be outside playing with all kinds of toys. Also taught me to give a lot of respect to the guys who do it.

Don't neglect the geochemical aspect of some gold placers. There is pretty good evidence that some bacteria in the soil can create a local reducing environment that causes gold to precipitate out of solution, and actually "gold-plate" the microbes. Uranium is another metal that can be reduced out solution by decaying organic matter.

Women don't, usually, think horrid pain is funny. Men like watching the three stooges, but women? Not so much. Just doesn't tickle the funny bone.

Likewise, women will never know what it is like to be kicked in the balls. Just as men will never know what it is like being a woman, no matter how many perverts claim they "feel like a woman." What they feel is a parody of being a woman, not the actual experience.

Hiking in to remote ravines that no one else dares hike is for the young and .. fearless. I bloody well know of such a place - using a high quality gold detector and mountaineering gear. I'm not that person. (There's a long defunct water driven 5 stamp ore crusher and flooded shaft 1 mile uphill)

230 The Crusades, at least as preached by Pope Urban II, were a literal God-send for Western Europe. Finally, Christendom would be fighting back to turn the tide of Musulman conquest. The threat of the Mohammedans wasn’t truly weakened until the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, long after the Crusades were over. The threat wasn’t truly gone until Ataturk secularized Turkey, and today the threat of the Mohammedans has returned.

I've tried multiple times to read her stuff. It just does not hold my interest, even when she's trying (in a literary fashion, natch) to emulate a horror story or a fantasy. Like a lot of literary types, she gets some of the tropes right, but fails on the background, or at making the story gripping on some level.

Huxley managed it with Brave New World, and there have been a few others who succeeded. But most often when literary types try to do genre, it doesn't come off.

278 Chinese miners in California during Gold Rush times would dam up a stream, run pipe to carry water and could "hydraulic" entire creek banks and hillsides into a huge sluice box in the river/creek. Change the landscape pretty quickly. Frowned upon in Modern Times, though.

Hydraulic mined, 1920's - 1930's. Sluice box was in a hard-rock tunnel at the south end, that emptied into the Quesnel River. Salmon runs on the river actually improved during the mine's life, as the turbidity made it harder for trout to prey on the baby salmon heading to the ocean.

291 I have to admit that if I were Camilla I would have brought some of my favorite tiaras to DC. Because I could. I would not care if I was the only one with a tiara tonight and would have told Melania to wear her bling as well.

My granddaughters and I have tiaras and we wear them whenever we feel like it (ok, the 8mo old wears a string of fake pearls on her lovely head and now tries to eat them). The 5yr old and I rock tiaras and believe they improve your mood.

I want Queen Camilla to get some new ones out we haven't ever seen in the UK. Time's a wasting! I realize the Princess of Wales is restricted to those she wears, but as Queen, rock on!

America's Sweetheart and Noted World War Eleven History Buff has called Americans dumb. Has she seen the figures for Somali IQ? Who knows, maybe they're faked to defraud the US government by declaring their kids mentally retarded. We know they claim that a lot of kids are "autistic" to defraud the taxpayers into paying mothers and family friends to be "caretakers" for the fake-austistic children.

More Biden COVID fraud.

Pfizer's COVID antiviral, bankrolled by Biden administration, doesn't help high-risk adults: study

New England Journal of Medicine lets Anthony Fauci and his onetime deputy play down results in editorial alongside study from U.K., Canada trials. Critics suspect profit motive played role in long-delayed publication.

By Greg Piper
The Biden administration threw its weight and reportedly more than $12 billion in taxpayer money behind Pfizer's Paxlovid despite the COVID-19 antiviral's penchant for rebound infections -- including in the First Couple and then-directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
A long-awaited study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests the nirmatrelvir-ritonavir combination marketed as Paxlovid, with nearly 24 million courses federally purchased at $530 each, is no better at protecting vaccinated adults at elevated risk than it is at mitigating so-called long COVID, as Pfizer's own research found two years ago.
The "two open-label platform trials," known as PANORAMIC in the U.K. and CanTreatCOVID in Canada, found Paxlovid "did not reduce the incidence of hospitalization or death among vaccinated higher-risk participants" -- 50 and older and 18-50 with "coexisting conditions" -- who tested positive for COVID and "had been unwell for 5 days or less."
"We found no evidence that early treatment" reduced their "already-low incidence of hospitalization or death in either trial and were unable to identify any prespecified subgroup with compelling evidence of treatment effect," the authors said.
It's just the latest black eye for Pfizer, which canceled a trial for its new COVID vaccine for healthy 50-64 year-olds this month due to lack of interest and did not answer a Just the News query for its response to the peer-reviewed study. The Canada Paxlovid trial similarly ended early "because of slow recruitment" and its supply being discontinued, the study said.
To play down the new results, NEJM published a same-day editorial by former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and his then-deputy director for clinical research, Cliff Lane.
The new trials show the findings from Pfizer's EPIC-HR trial, the initial basis for the feds going all-in on Paxlovid, don't apply "to the current circumstances, in which most adults have varying degrees of preexisting immunity and the circulating variants are different," they wrote.
"However, one should be cautious not to overinterpret the new data and conclude that nirmatrelvir--ritonavir is not of current value," they said.

The Supreme Court has overturned a leftwing judge's injunction, okaying the Texas redistricting map.

Even CNN isn't buying child-death-wishing Virginia AG's non-arguments about the inarguable illegality of the Virginia gerrymander referendum. The state constitution requires 90 days between the introduction of a referendum and the vote, and they just didn't even bother to follow this rule. (They also ignored the constitution's requirement that an amendment must be first passed in one state assembly and then, only after an intervening election, re-passed by another state assembly.)

Even CNN's fat-faced partisan plumper dismisses his whining about an "activist state judge" and points out that this isn't about a judge, this is about a simple on-its-face "math problem."

Posted by: Harry Vandenburg at April 28, 2026 06:45 PM (kxLc1)

And they did not moderate the content- and that led to... well, porn. And it became a huge cash cow.

Its an interesting, kind of sad story. The owner who kicked it recently tried as recently as a few years ago to ban adult content, but that led to a massive revolt. Plus now, in the wake of its success you have other services that are similar.

I'd wager the success rate though on these platforms is similar to the number of kids who play high school basketball making it to the NBA.

76 The abortion denier, Miz Waters: her hands are held so tightly together in stress her knuckles are white.

Dear Miz Waters: In the mid-70's we were told "clump of cells" before 12th week. Which sort of made it ok to others I knew. In reality there is a heartbeat at 8wks on ultrasound. Babies feel pain at 12 weeks from study.

I recently mourned a 9wk grandchild of miscarriage.

Planned Parenthood has a history not only of lying to women but eugenics. With no thought at all of the father.

I note you did not answer the question.

I thank God I never had an abortion, but there is forgiveness by God for those who are haunted by this. I pray for you. There are resources for you.

I want someone to now check DeLauro's gender. A brave soul, very drunk or doped up to check.

Her ringed large fingers make me wonder if it is a male who has used wild clothing all these horrid years to be a drag queen. I know I would have said,"Don't you point those hideous arthritic fingers at me, you loon!"

Which is why I am not in public office.

To give you an idea, on the last portion of the trip, in the city, I cursed at traffic for the first time since I left the state eleven days ago. Salina did not have traffic jams, and Fort Scott was too small almost to have traffic. Ah, Kansas . . .

Sorry if it sounded like I was taking it personal.

I knew that was a possible reading from the way I wrote it. I was more clarifying in case that applied to me.

But I agree. And I cringe at quite a few times when the "right" just borrows terminology from the left--like "the right", for instance.

If you don't see that's just a bag given for you to hold while they dump Nazis and Italian fascists into it and then blame you for the contents they put with you in the bag, you're not watching the sleight of hand.

I guarantee you no meth-dealing Aryan nation fuckhead wants what I want out of a country, besides, perhaps marginally.

The upheaval of segregating the country or race-purification--were there any value in it--would just upheave the country in a different fashion. Plus tat a number of "American Nazis" are straight-up national socialists.

149 For those interested, the "ceasefire" in Lebanon continues at its prior pace - that is, lots of attacks and lots of fire, not much ceasing.

IDF uncovered and today blammo'd! a yuuuge tunnel complex, 10km from the border. They're systematically search for/destroying the enormous and diverse Hezbollah infrastructure in the zone they occupy.

A real highlight today was the revelation that a 12-yr old Lebanese girl contacted the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman to report that her school had Hezbollah weapons and hidden underground military facilities/storage. Of course *she* is being investigated and punished, presumably. This last bit lends the story more credibility, actually.

You don't understand, the left doesn't make comparisons. They make mouth noises intended to generate process and to fill the gaps while they're maneuvering to start killing you. There is no logic there because they don't do logic; they are a post-logic belief system. They are right; everyone else who isn't them is wrong, on an epistemological level. That's it.

That is an accurate statement. It didn't change physical properties one bit between "I'm not going to take Trump's vaccine (because that would open up the streets)" and "YOU'RE going to take the Jab, dammit!!!"

But suddenly, when it could be mandated, it was a cure-all. And now Paul's here saying you can blame Trump because Biden tried to force the SAME Jab on people (actually that's wrong, Biden didn't do shit).

Don't they see, we can't possibly be as dumb or gullible as they are.

Striking I'm told (by a plastic surgeon after carving up my face years ago for a basal cell cancer...which healed and you can't tell). When you get to be a Nana you take whatever compliment you can get!

Plus she's a Weinstein girl, which makes her icky.

242 "Even CNN's fat-faced partisan plumper dismisses his whining about an "activist state judge" and points out that this isn't about a judge, this is about a simple on-its-face "math problem."

It literally, in black and white, says they can't do this. They were SUED, before the election, to prevent them from breaking the law, and the state supreme court said they could not be sued before breaking the law, only after.

So, they had full knowledge they were breaking the law. That it is now getting tossed by the courts isn't because of an activist judge. It is because the clearly violated the law.

246 @245...once you've seen Weinstein in his hotel bathroom you lose some of your shine.

I would not lose a thing because I'd never be so needy and stupid to go to his hotel room alone. And second I would injure him so badly I would not care if my career was ruined. He is disgusting. I can't read the current stories as the potted plant a few years ago nearly finished me off.

The three Oscar winners who never said a word against him:
1. Streep
2. Paltrow (her first nomination)
3. Lawrence (her first nomination)

It was a deal cut in a bathroom hotel visit. Actually Paltrow did talk about him because Brad Pitt was ticked off.

However, once he was convicted total silence from the three above. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Streep's acting is better than the other two by a bit... or her accents. The other two can't act.

At the time he was rumored to control the "academy." Which upped his game in his bathrobe, which I'd prefer not to think about.

Instead of the old casting couch it was the hotel room for a "meet and greet." Hurl.

Queer Stammer Survives Parliamentary Vote; "No Kings" Democrats Wildly Applaud Literal King of Post-Christian England

As you probably remember, Queer Stammer has repeatedly lied to the country about whether or not he was warned that the "Prince of Darkness" Peter Mandelson was on Jeffrey Epstein's payroll and gave Epstein sensitive UK economic data before it was public in exchange for monetary "gifts" from Epstein. Queer fought to get the Epstein Payroll Grifter made Ambassador to the US, where he would have access to almost every top secret diplomatic cable the UK produces.

At various points Stammer has denied being told this, and has fired most of his senior staff, blaming them for "not informing" him. Other times he accidentally admitted he knew about this, but then claimed he didn't know the "texture" and "extent" of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein. Because, see, Mandelson told him it wasn't true.

All patriotic Brits wanted Queer Starmer referred to a government body for official investigation into his corruption and lies, but Queer Starmer broke enough arms of his own party -- which controls Parliament by a huge majority, thanks to the Tories' constant lies about opposing unending foreign invasion -- to spare him that reckoning.

State socialist propaganda outlet BBC:

Prime Minister Keir Starmer will not face a parliamentary investigation over claims he misled MPs about the process to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador.
The government won the vote by 335 to 223 - with 14 Labour MPs rebelling.
Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch accused the majority of Labour MPs of being "complicit" in a "cover up". Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said Starmer had "ducked" scrutiny over the issue, saying it was a "cowardly way to govern".
Starmer has denied misleading MPs. A No 10 spokesperson called the vote a "desperate political stunt" ahead of next week's elections, and said the government will continue to engage "with the two parliamentary processes that are running on Peter Mandelson's appointment with full transparency".

Even Cathy "So What You're Saying Is I'm a Lobster" Newman pointed out that while Queer Starmer calls the vote to force an investigation a "desperate political stunt," Queer Starmer forced the same vote on the last Tory PM.

Earlier in the day, former top civil servant in the Foreign Office, Philip Barton, said No 10 was "uninterested" in his concerns over Mandelson's links to Epstein.
And former top aide to Starmer, Morgan McSweeney, said he made a "serious mistake" in advising the PM to appoint the former ambassador, but said Mandelson hadn't been "open enough".

I hear Queer Starmer is "open enough" to gay Ukrainian models.

Speaking of sexually-bent Islamic UK leaders: Shah Charles addressed Congress and took a lot of shots at the American president, to the delight of Objective Journalist Jake Tapper.

WATCH: CNN was giddy over King Charles III's speech and the instances when he took veiled shots at Donald Trump and MAGA...
CNN's Jake Tapper: "There were some items in that speech that I think it's fair to say were included that, you know, are I wouldn't call them zingers against President Trump, but points of disagreement."
David Chalian: "And did not hide from them at all. I mean, I think a speech that was putting democratic values, the rule of law, the power of alliances, even a specific on the support of Ukraine's defense, these -- these stand in complete opposition. And in fact, some of them are the very things that Donald Trump sort of rails against when he's complaining about Europe or the U.K., specifically. Now, King Charles doesn't come in here itching for a fight on it. He comes in with his position to be above it a bit and in his you know, very British, stiff upper lip kind of way. It's not that he was trying to get in a fight with President trump, but he couldn't have seized the opportunity more to really stand clear on the importance of these things with a value system underneath it that is in contrast to a lot of what Donald Trump has been presenting on the world stage as it comes to these alliances."

He lied.

Authorities In Britain Are Trying To Criminalize Christian Street Preaching
As Christianity declines in the West, we should expect Christians to be persecuted. It's already happening in Britain.
John Daniel Davidson

A church in Britain is facing criminal charges for preaching Christianity in public. The United Kingdom has made a habit in recent years of criminalizing Christian preaching and prayer on public streets (including silent prayer near abortion clinics), but this might be the first time the authorities have targeted an entire church and not just an individual.
Bread of Life Community Church in Essex this week was issued something called a Community Protection Notice, which could criminalize its pastor, a man named Stephen Clayden, as well as church members for preaching in public--something the church has done without incident for six years. A hearing is set for May 1, but in the meantime breaching the notice is a criminal offense, which means Clayden and his congregation could face prosecution if they continue their street ministry.
The notice was served following months of escalating pressure from local authorities in Essex, which at first cited amplification (despite no prohibitions on amplified sound in the area where the church members were preaching) but eventually accused the church of using "religious messaging" that mentions "hell," causing "harassment, alarm and distress" to local residents.
"The notice continues by saying that wardens have 'tried to educate' the preachers, but the preaching is 'unreasonable' and having a 'detrimental effect on the community," according to a statement about the case from Christian Concern, an organization that advocates for the rights of Christians in Britain.
Clayden, the pastor, was quoted in news reports saying that his congregation has "preached the Bible lawfully and peacefully in Colchester for six years. We have harmed no one. We cannot and will not stop preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. No council has the authority to silence the church."

A lawyer for the church said that "public order powers designed to address genuine antisocial behavior are now being used to clamp down on Christian preaching. Today it is amplification, tomorrow it is the content of the message itself. We are seeing a slippery slope from managing noise to policing theology."
All of this is as obvious as can be. In a healthy, functioning Western society, no one would question the right of Christians to preach on public streets and share the gospel, nor would local authorities arrogate to themselves the right to "educate" preachers on what Christian teachings are or are not "unreasonable."
But Britain is not a healthy Western society. It is a rapidly de-Christianizing society, which means it is becoming increasingly hostile toward the Christians who still call it home. Note how the British authorities never use these police powers to target Muslims praying in the streets or deliberately gathering to pray outside churches. Public noise complaints are never issued for amplified Muslim calls to prayer. The law is applied only to Christians--and in this case, specifically to suppress orthodox Christian teaching about sin, judgment, and hell.

BLITZER: Well, on that front, Tim, how do you think President Trump and for that matter, King Charles are both going to handle some of the tension that developed between the Trump administration and the British government, between President Trump and Keir Starmer, the prime minister. How is that going to fall over this entire historic arrival ceremony?
NAFTALI: Well, uh, traditionally, the way the royals have is by seeking to talk in generalities and talk about shared values. Um, our President is very much committed to what he sees as English civilization. Um, and king Charles represents, I mean, England is a diverse, evolving nation. But but in a sense, King Charles represents that civilization to which Donald Trump tightly adheres.

I hope President Trump bats him down after a few drinkies imbibed by Chuck, as he will be left more puce than normal and his sausage finger may burst over his pinkie ring.

I still haven't figured out why he has hands like he does. It is weird and not at all normal.

During the speech his fingers don't bend. He sort of swats at papers with them. For a tiny blink of a nanosecond I almost felt sorry for him, waiting for all the papers to fall off the podium and leave him speechless. (This would be the literal meaning of speechless, by the way.)

I think Camilla is only here for the gin and I could almost feel sorry for her but yet I don't.

73 Well,

Starmer is more worried probably about the rent boy trials going on right now. 3 male prostitutes are charged with trying to burn down Starmer's houses.

"The trial for three men accused of arson against properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer began at the Old Bailey on April 27, 2026. The defendants, identified as Roman Lavrynovych (21), Stanislav Carpiuc (26), and Petro Pochynok (34), face charges related to three separate fire incidents in May 2025 involving a car and two homes in London."

They are Ukrainian of course.

They knowingly have a country of invaders who are raping their girls and women, knifing their boys and men, and turning a blind eye while it gets worse. They are stifling free speech and threatening those that dare criticize the regime with imprisonment. Under Biden, they allowed the invaders in and the same atrocities happened but the people acted, we got Trump by the grace of God, and while the situation is not perfect, it has greatly improved. The invaders have been plundering our welfare system but there to again, under Trump, it is getting better but we still have a long way to go as well as the USAID, NGOs, and all of the other corrupt entities of the global elite systems that want the destruction of the US as it stands.

-----------------
A fundraising email for California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter bearing a vulgar message aimed at President Trump has has been blasted for going out after a gunman targeted Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The email — with the subject line “F—k Trump” — included statements the ex-congresswoman made at the California Democratic Party Convention in February, where she held up a sign bearing the vulgar two-word insult.

“I’m Katie Porter. Some of you know me as the whiteboard lady who held CEOs and billionaires accountable in Congress,” read the email, which was sent by the progressive activist organization LeftNet and included a link to donate to Porter’s campaign.

I cast my vote for Junipero Gin, made by Anchor.

The highest octane of any gin I am aware of and smooth, babycakes.

First had a Ouest Martini (famous Upper West Side restaurant, now closed) in NYC. We are talking legal anesthesia and no issues the next day from feeling so good.

We took Son #2 and his gf/now wife to NYC after their university graduation. He'd never seen me lit and loved it. I was floating around Central Park like a Macy's Day Balloon and cracking jokes.
A very happy drink. Highly recommend

4oz Junipero gin. add splash King Elder Vermouth,
onion stuffed olives and one pickled green bean
Shaken, not stirred

Yes, yes, I know it is 4oz gin and 98.6 proof, which would light any fire.

Pure stuff, however. No headache the next day. Granted I was in my prime and it might do me in for good at this point.

Then they flew to Ireland and the Beast (car, not Mooch) got stuck on a speed bump and I laughed hysterically at my desk. One of those times the poor man I married asked across the house wth am I doing now.

I don't understand why they did not put braces on his bottom teeth. Are there orthodontists in London?

He would be a cyclops if his eyes were closer together.

Not being mean but generally wondering, what on earth disease does he have to have sausage fingers? It is more than edema, I can tell you that for sure. It's not like edema on his ankles. His fingers are very short and his hands are red and swollen, always. Not from traveling.

It’s not much more than that, and this was planned long ago. Trump doesn’t need to get anything for it, it’s part of formal international relations.

Posted by: Aetius451AD

Different sausages and ground-meat products are named after the German-speaking cities where they originated.

Ground pork entrails stuffed into an intestine originated in Frankfurt, hence was called a frankfurter..

Griound beef flattened into round discs came from Hamburg, hence hamburger.

Smoked sauage combining pork and beef was popular in Vienna (Wien), hence was called wiener.

And a thick sausage made from ground and spiced liver was popular in Braunschweig, hence was called braunschweiger -- what we call liverwurst in US English.

The old-fashioned British way of translitering the name of the city f Braunschweig was to call it Brunswick.

Charles' ancestoea from from Brunswick/Braunschweig, hence are braunschqeigers.

"Now, King Charles doesn't come in here itching for a fight on it. He comes in with his position to be above it a bit and in his you know, very British, stiff upper lip kind of way." -- Curtis Houck

No, that doesn't mean dry or droll or snide or passive-aggressive or any of those things. It means stoic in the face of stress, as opposed to with quivering lips!

Normal people -- who have average IQs and don't know all the things -- are perfectly fine, because they don't pretend to be anything else. When these partially-educated soulless midwits preen and pose as our intellectual and moral superiors, that's when they become utterly despicable, and frankly lucky that you can't punch through a screen -- especially when they're simultaneously flubbing colloquialisms.

23 And the MN Dems are trying to punish cities/counties who refuse to fly the new MN "Somali" flag instead of the old one. From Alpha News:

----------------------
A group of DFL lawmakers introduced legislation that would essentially compel Minnesota cities and counties to fly the new state flag. The new flag, which has become a political dividing-line in Minnesota, has been rejected by many localities throughout the state.

Introduced this week, HF 5077 would require state government to reduce a county or city’s local government aid (LGA) amount by 10 percent if that locality flies any flag other than the new flag. LGA is distributed by the state government to localities across Minnesota.

In 2023, Democrats created a 13-member commission to redesign the Minnesota state flag and seal. That commission eventually unveiled a new flag and seal design. However, the new designs were never formally approved by the voters or the state legislature.

It was amazing how they just blew shut up -- lots of grand old buildings.

It was also very sad to see the destruction. (fucking commies!)

But then I thought of all those existing cities and towns in Europe - they might as well blow them up as hand them over to the barbarians. So sad.

128 Totally aside from the massive fraud:

The Somalis are the main practitioners of "Female Circumcision" -- more properly called "Female Genital Mutilation" -- and for that reason alone we should not allow anyone from that part o the world into the US. We're importing the worst imaginable cultural practice, which still goes on here in the Somali community "sub rosa" (though with the tacit approval of the Democrats).

Just in case anyone doesn't fully grasp what this is all about:

The fatwas and ruling from the Muslim clerics who sanction FGM overtly state that the purpose of the practice is to prevent female from experiencing sexual pleasure. Why do such a thing? Well, they say: If women's like sex, then they'll cheat on us, because all me in our culture are terrible in bed. So the only way they can keep their women from straying is to literally cut off their clitorises. Which is exactly what "FGM" entails. Actually, that's just step 1 -- step 2 is to literally sew the vagina shut.

Somali culture is the most barbaric, backward, insecure, misongynistic and just plain ol' horrible culture on Earth.

That is most likely true of Medicaid. Probably 50 percent is rank fraud encouraged by the states like Minnesota. The reason is federal funds match for states. The states engage in phoney baloney crap like hospital taxes, etc. on the rest of us in order to meet the matching funds requirement for fed dollars to feed their failing state government finances.

>> 60 What is the "Woke Right"? You mean people who are technically Republicans but always write or speak against Trump?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at April 28, 2026 03:36 PM (looXz)

"Woke Right" can mean whatever you want it to, since it's inherently contradictory and has no logically coherent meaning. I originally encountered it in a context that implied Worldies were trying to slur nationalists as 'woke'

I will probably not do their thesis justice because I disagree with it, but it appeared to be something like this: if you prefer to enforce national boundaries and social norms, to preserve your people's distinctiveness, to not be swamped and effectively erased like Amerindians, then that's just like being a race-discriminating DEI wokester. /sarc

However, due to the inherent meaninglessness of the term, the apparently intended meaning didn't really catch on. Instead, an informal consensus gelled around meaning the (national) socialists and wackadoos of the nominal right, who are exhibiting at least some of the symptoms of wokeness, such as Jew-hatred and NPC narrative pivots.

Agree with all of that. Was a big fan of Lindsay until he started with using the "Right" goodie bag stuff.

The fact is that only the "left" is defined: Marxists and pro-revolutionary radicals for some form of ideology.

The fascists are "right" of that, but only because they disagree on whether the "Dictatorship (In The Name) of the Proletariat" should dissolve into a "stateless" commune forever and ever, Amen.

However, because Engels turns out to be a weasel on "state", a "withered state" could actually have a government, it would just have to decide that it was no longer enforcing oppression of the people who should not be oppressed.

And I don't think Gentile's ideology could have much to clash about there, as long as the State, as actor, stays.

Fascism is functional, Marxism is theory.

"Right of Marx purism" is not the same thing as "right". And also, disliking Marx, for "Jewishness" or whatever, is nowhere near small-government constitutionalism.

We really shouldn't be saddled with how diverse non-Marxists "reformed" their countries, simply because we're trying to preserve our culture.

198 I'm very disappointed in Italy.

But since the war (11!), Italy has been a basket case. It was always a fractured nation and that is partially a strength, but also makes it very vulnerable.

They are beholden to the EU, and have been since the start -- I think they mostly went along with EU because they wanted good governance, but that was foolish. They went along with net zero (starting with Kyoto) because they had no choice. Now they go along with the migration madness because they need the EU to help - if they refuse, the EU will punish them by flooding them with migrants and any that enter will not be able to move on to Germany or wherever. They do not have resources to stop the flood on their own, so they go along.

It is a shame. The Euro crushed Italy (by design.) Kyoto crushed Itlay (by design.) Open borders crushed Italy (by design.) France wants no competition on the cultural side, Germany wants none on the industrial side, and Italy is too poorly governed to go it alone. The EU has been a disaster for them.

Your post made me look up how FGM women are able to give birth.......something I always wondered about. Gross beyond words:

Muslim women who have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), particularly type III (infibulation), often require deinfibulation, a procedure to open the scarred, sealed vaginal area. This is typically performed by doctors antenatally or during labor to allow for vaginal birth, reducing risks of obstruction, tearing, and severe bleeding.

This could all be summed up by saying that Italy is governed by Italians, which means the men are noodle-armed fags and the women in government are bored harridans.

Someone on Twixxer did this better than I can sum it up, but Europe has nothing left but the faint vestiges of the culture they had prior to WW Eleven. Their governments are shit and their sheer laziness has allowed them all to be overrun by the third world in the last 70 years.

222 People don't realize.

Europe are like siblings that actually hate each other. Each country is trying to fuck the other, and they do themselves more damage trying.

Most of what goes on there is from each one trying to backstab the others. In doing this, they try to lever external resources (countries, trading partners, allies, etc.) to get a leg up on the other. Germany was in league with the Russians. France tried to be "leader of the arab world" as they said.

I have heard that France pushed for the Libya war to remove Italy's energy advantage. (I am not 100% convinced on this.) and Germany pushed for open borders because they were successful in working with Turks, and thought that as the industrial base of the continent they would have lots more customers and weaker neighbors if they were all flooded with migrants.

They are like that book "God's little Acre." (anybody read that? it is about sibling hate.) That is why they are dying.

Because their entire world is filled with those who stole what they have.

And if you have more than them, that just proves you stole it from someone.

And if you have less than them, it's only because you're not smart enough to steal more.

Islam doesn't chop of hands to deter theft--it's to deter getting caught for theft:

The weak Lira was their only asset -- it allowed them to deal with fraud by inflating it away and still able to export

There was great discussion about this before they joined. The optimists said that with the EU, they would have good government so no problem. The realists said that they would lose their ability to export and be swamped by Germany.

"Objective" "Journalists" Chuck Todd & Chris Cilizza: It's Donald Trump's Fault That Our Friends Keep Trying to Kill Him, "Chaos Follows Him" and it Makes Us Unsafe If We're "In His Orbit" When the Next Leftist We Programmed to Kill Takes a shot

The sheer narcissism, offered without an atom of self-awareness.

They keep sending their fellow shitlibs to shoot rifles at Trump, and then whine that they're in danger when shitlib bullets start flying, and it's Trump's fault because the Secret Service focuses on protecting the President of the United States rather than shitlib "journalists" who might be in the vicinity (and egging on the assassin).

He also claims that Trump never provided him with protection when Trump said mean things about the press, which he claims caused people to "come after him."

Number of assassination attempts on Chris Cilizza and Chuck Todd, combined: Zero

Number of assassination attempts on anyone in the antifa press corps: Zero, though antifa routinely beats conservative reporters hard enough to give them bleeding concussions

It's weird, no one's in any danger at a Barack Obama speech. Because people on the right aren't trying to kill him, and no one on the right is instructing assassins to kill him.

Unbelievable. I'm nearly speechless.

I'm watching this clip again and it is so far off the rails of reality that I almost can't believe it.

To summarize, a would be assassin attempted to murder the President in a ballroom. Chuck Todd makes it about himself and moans that Trump would not protect him, in such… https://t.co/SSkjzqTXMt

Using the logic applied to create the 11 attempts on Obama, I'm sure they've got a few.

Have there been bullets fired into a building they're not in? Well, that's an assassination attempt.

Did someone on the radio say that they wanted to see them dead? Well, that would be another attempt.

This is true.

It's only about winning the next 12 hours of coverage on CNN.

Doesn't matter if Trump is still deporting at higher levels than any president since Eisenhower. The media is saying Trump is a poopy head at a high enough level to get attention.

Doesn't matter that Iran is pulling rusted tankers out of mothballs to fill with oil because they can't export anymore. The media is saying that Trump brought on his own attempted assassination at 115 decibels.

The obsession with narrative is the only overriding tactic the left has anymore.

And I said "No duh that the target is more proximal".

Remember that "victim" is status in the unthinking world. They will resist all attempts to lend that status to Trump. But they cannot deny that Trump was the *target* of violence, much like a woman who wears a short skirt is the *target* of rape.

Yes, it's only 4 million people tuning in, but it's people who only get their news from such sources. They don't get it from X.

People who were getting their news from X were well aware of the Hunter laptop, for instance, real time as the story was being suppressed.

The people reliant on CBS news never heard it except that it was crazy.

162 Remember Trump's "dark" inauguration speech in 2017, where he talked about decentralization of Washington (which is why I think DC-ers thought of it as "dark")

Just like a fascist to de-centralize power, right!

Oh, no. That would be fascist because it would stop the left from doing what it wants to do with centralized power!

Obama already spoke and thinks that he should be making the decisions about how the Little Sisters of the Poor and Hobby Lobby compensate their employees.

Deciding which of decisions that was formerly yours to make that they should allow you to keep making, that's a key dynamic in fascism. The State decides what it will decide.

Apr 27
I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.

The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.

A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.

Everything else was improvised.

I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you [ . . .]

Posted by: Kindltot at April 28, 2026 03:56 PM (rbvCR)

170 [ . . . ] The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor.
I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.

What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.

I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.

She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.

The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest [ . . . ]

Prior to Musk buying Twitter and it basically being owned by the federal government, Twitter was the narrative machine for the news media.

He goofed while yapping about peace of religious harmony: he said to turn plowshares to swords. Peace biblically is the opposite. There was sort of a stunned silence. heh. hic

Otherwise no mention of Climate Change yet...ah, at the end, "nature." Drink!

During a bit of the Magna Carta/Supreme Court rulings he mentioned executive power's checks and balances...looking snidely at the Dim section. Aha.

Nanzi Pelousi seems to be wearing an exoskeleton and upright. The Dims can actually stand and clap hands, the arse wipes.

He seems at times to have problems turning pages with his sausage fingers.

There is some reference to NATO without saying NATO on our great alliance. Their own Navy is barely sailing. Mentions 9/11 and now mentioning NATO Article 5. I reckon we will help if Russia invades the UK...oh, crap, he mentions Youcrane.

Nanzi nearly seized during her clapping.She is dressed in lavender, I guess as a minor royal in her vodka soaked mind.

214 There's a reason I can't label Tucker was "Woke Right". Because it's part of his journey that started with recruiting liberals like Greenwald and Schellenberg to start working on "common ground".

It was his appeal on Rogan's show that he called Hiroshima "pure Evil", and said nobody can deny it. As he started appealing to the center and lefties that would have a civil conversation with him--as he moved center, he gained an anti-war critique on the "Right".

So, to the extent he has adopted "identity politics", it hasn't been on a rightward vector, but a leftward one.

Right now, I can't figure out if he's saying that Kamala should be president because he apologized for supporting Trump.

We need to abandon the goodie bag "Right", because the progs are always trying to stick companions there that do NOT want to conserve law and order, and a non-racially-purified new land.

235 >>Musk buying twitter was tremendously important AND legacy news still has a LOT of influence

Trump didn't have a single media oulet on his side, not even Fox, in either election. He communicated largely through social media. He thought so much of it he didn't buy CBS when Twitter banned him, he built his own.

Social media is the great leveler because anyone's opinion can be heard and if it's good enough it gets amplified. It's nice that Weiss has been installed at CBS but it is still controlled media. 60 minutes is still CBS.

They tried to break Musk when he bought Twitter. Nobody tried to stop the Ellisons from buying CBS.

Mocked and looked on with disgust at Biden, felt he was evil (his goat eyes). Possibly that he was sometimes hiding behind a feeble demeanor to protect him in the end. Never wanted him killed, just wanted him to go away. I did often want a fall down the stairs of AF1, but he fell up the stairs instead before the little stairs of the plane were used with his special shoes.

This divides us from the insane Dims who scream in unison, as they have no imagination at all: Orange Man, fascist, Nazi, rapist, racist. While hoping for President Trump's death.Literal witches casting spells. And this is why I pray every night for his protection...that all plans against him and others in his cabinet fail in this wall of protection.

That actually gels well with the theory of Robert Owen, Scottish Industrialist who started the New Harmony commune (of Marx's communism) original meaning of "socialism". A word Owen coined.

Society is responsible for all human ills.

As I think about it solving the whole "problem" of "society" is more in keeping with 20th-century "liberalism" than Marxian revolution. And all the conversations I've had with "liberals" over decades.

Owen's commune was to fix "society" by footing the bill, thus shielding commune members against scarcity, so as to reform "society".

I think the mixture comes as Marx observes Owen's "failure to make communes compulsory" and other Marxists noticing that advancing Owenism can help destabilizing the free market dependency.

Chuck DID throw a few bones to the Dims. I saw it. Not totally horrific but obvious. Nor did he praise Trump. Threw in a bit of our actions vs words (I reckon because we have scared Iran into their begging cups). I don't care Chuck!

He also DID throw in some words of Christianity, which I initially thought good as that is rare. Then had to ruin that by other religions to tolerate and merg (I think he did this as it is suspected he is praying to Mecca).

I am mostly interested in seeing what Lady Melania wears at each event. Which I realize is not the point.

His speech was measured and united.
His own begging cup may be out eventually if Russia joins Iran and continues to encroach into Europe. Somehow, though, I think Russia is depleted from the Youcrane and little z as they conscript old men to fight. I could be wrong.

No idea. However she's a very scrawny slug who appears to smoke cigs by her wrinkled prune mouth as she sashayed by our dinner table. I saw her coming and wanted to ask, innocently, where the $ was coming for Obungocare to see what'd she'd say. My husband told me I couldn't. In reality she had security with her and I also wanted to "accidently" trip her.

He later said (not knowing about the tripping plan) that he wished he'd let me ask her. I wanted to mess with her but not get arrested doing it.

Virginia Supreme Court Denies Democrat Motion to Impose Gerrymandered Map During the Hearings Over Its Legality
Comey Indicted for Threating Trump's Life with "8645" Post?

This is not a final order. But the Democrats wanted to implement the illegal map during the period when the Virginia Supreme Court is considering it, and the Virginia Supreme Court refused.

A court's refusal to grant these interlocutory and injunctive motions often, but not always, tips the way the court imagines the ultimate ruling will go.

Let's do a two-in-one: Reports say that James Comey has been re-indicted -- a leftwing judge quashed the last one -- for his "8645" Instagram post, which seems to be an incitement to murder Trump.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: @FoxNews colleague @davidspunt reports that former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted again in relation to his "8647" seashell post on Instagram last year.

I don't know if anyone really gets arrested or imprisoned for inciting a murder of Trump -- Obama, sure, but not Trump. The leftwing media spends all day inciting murder.

The odds of conviction are better, I think, if they can cast this as a threat to kill Trump, but I don't know if that argument would win. If I say that someone should take out James Comey, that's not me actually threatening him.

And by the way, I never would have said something like that, even as a hypothetical, before this week, but as the left is now engaged in open incitement of violence I'm done being super-careful about my own language.

Comey’s second indictment is in connection with this photo, which he claims he took in North Carolina. Hopefully that is also the jurisdiction where the case was brought, because if so, it will be a far less favorable setting for him than in D.C. pic.twitter.com/w5xPe2wRPp

I just don't see it. "86" can have many meanings.

"86" (eighty-six) is an American slang term meaning to get rid of, discard, cancel, or refuse service to someone. Originating in the 1930s, likely from restaurant or soda-fountain jargon, it is commonly used to indicate an item is out of stock or to eject an unruly customer.

10 "What this means in plain terms:

Jay Jones’ outside counsel from California asked the Court to allow the election process to proceed pending the rulings on the merits of the gerrymandering cases.

The Court said “no.” This stops the election from being certified for now.

The same Supreme Court that allowed the referendum to go forward in March, so voters could be heard, has now declined to override a final judgment finding the constitutional amendment process defective. Strong signal that process matters in Virginia.

The Attorney General asked the Court of Virginia to set aside a final order that exposed a ballot question he would not quote, an Article XII timeline he had to redefine, and a 1912 case that did not say what he needed it to say.

The Supreme Court said “no.”"

29 It would be funny as hell if the Democrats started the Great Gerrymanding Wars, but ultimately had all (or most) of their gerrymandering attempts blocked, while the Republicans's counter-attack gerrymandering responses all (or mostly) succeeded. So that ultimately the Dems LOSE seats as a result of the tit-for-tat gerrymandering.

Maybe that;'s already happening?

All we need to do is will until the 2030 census and the 2032 redistricting, when the 0.8-child-per-liberal-woman vs. the 1.6-children-per-conservative women demographic shift will finally become overwhelming, and the liberals will have aborted them themselves out of electoral relevance.

Democrats have become an urban party which means vast expanses of red country side and outer suburbs and a compact blob of blue around cities and university towns outside of cities surrounded by red.

And that in turn makes it sheer stupidity that the isolated blue citadels try to declare war on their surrounding red brethren. Even nukes don't help as Swalwell, the idiot mentioned once in passing. You destroy and poison your own food production in flyover country yet the number of reds in the sticks are so dispersed that using nukes is simply likely to piss them off.

Cities are far better locations for mass slaughter--disable food service, power, and water to a city, it dies incredibly soon.

You can tell leftist loonies never actually have played old school wargames involving and including the unthinkable.

Yep. The rules the GOP is playing under were designed for a system to keep political violence under wraps.

The only way we get back to that system now is if the left feels they are paying a price for engaging in it and as of now they aren't.

They killed one of the top rightwing pundits in America and have tried three times to kill the most important rightwing pol in America at the cost of 4 street level thugs. They could trade a thousand times more thugs and come out ahead...

@bungarsargon
An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as "ethnonationalist". It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian "attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions" as "ethnonationalist." This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as "data" and then mainstreamed in the American press.

I think more telling was that Brennan had voted for the Communist Party USA candidate in an election. That should have been the main dis-qualifier IMO. At least for a position as head of the C Fucking IA. But of course Obama was the appointer so that comports.

Shit happens when Democrats are a minority because Democrats are almost always compacted in urban areas.

It's the story of the NC congressional map, too. People forget that NC redistricted last year. It was easy and fast (governors in NC can't veto congressional maps passed by the legislature), and it just kept Democrats in their three enclaves in the state.

Lots of puzzle pieces that Jackstraw can point you too but Comey was a thorough scoundrel and asshole in office.

That district judge on the order issued a thoroughly professional opinion where the VA Democrats violated SEVEN provisions of the VA Constitution and VA statutory law regarding referendums and redistricting.

Judge had already issued the injunction before the vote that was set aside in March to allow voting for the referendum to occur making those points in the preliminary injunction.

This was just redoing his old homework putting the VA Sup Ct on the spot of either declaring Calvinball law rules in VA (Delaware is paying the price for that in corporate law) or following the law which means the referendum is mort this go around.

I doubt it.

Comey should be indicted for this. He should be indicted for lying under oath and leaking, when he said that he only released his "notes" to his personal attorney (while agreeing with a Dem Congressman that he released his notes to get Mueller appointed, knowing he can't square those two statements).

He should be indicted for fraud on a FISA application. So we can put some teeth behind the idea that this is not your trial to run on some target, where you make a fleeting gesture at providing exculpatory evidence.

There should be controls on "ex-parte trials" or there should be NO "ex-parte trials" at all.

I entertain that it would be justified for Trump to suspend all FISA applications on the basis of the "Ensure" clause.

To be fair, Jefferson looked at it as a political battle as both he and James Madison tried to end the established state church of Virginia. Like its English predecessor, non Anglicans/Episcopalians were taxed to support church buildings and personnel that were not of their choosing.

Jefferson was not wearing his lawyer hat but his politician one when he wrote that letter. If you notice, he did nothing about it as president but wrote a private letter to old political supporters for use in Virginia politics to help end the established church.

In his actual law career primarily dealing with property law, he was actually pretty damn good and his argument on appointment law that it had to be delivered to be in effect in Marbury is probably more sound based on contract law than Marshall's opinion. Marshall used logical deduction but no precedent, Jefferson used common law of contracts which had lengthy precedents attached.

Posted by: Axeman
======
I dislike him personally after reading Dumas Malone's biography (all six volumes) and various other direct writings of Jefferson himself and other biographies on specific instances (like his flight from the British as governor).

But yet, I find him an exceptional politician, his legal reasoning on cases is better than the more celebrated John Marshall's, and he was able to put aside his own prejudices as president to do things like the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expeditions. His founding of UVa was also notable along with his service in the Continental Congress and the revolt against King George III.

Personally, I dislike the guy, as a politician and statesman, he did pretty damn good. And he did sign the ban on importing new slaves in 1808 without which, our problems would be much greater today.

This week he's pushing the "general strike" for May Day. Like any good commie would. Lately his posts have been getting lots of comments from fed-up conservatives, so I suspect at some point he will block comments. He blocked mine months ago, because I kept giving him facts.

Whig. I've always agreed with that assessment.

But you can't help get around that in that open, political posturing letter, he flipped what people at the time would think of as "their legislature".

As a late-in-life-separatist, myself, I don't disparage Jefferson for his stance as much as I used to. Nonetheless, he equivocates on what people chose for their federal legislature. By and large, it was no power to interfere with the religious powers claimed by the state.

What Madison and Jefferson accomplished in Virginia, notwithstanding.

It is a political posture that we have been paying for in the form of the the left's siege walls of separation.

It's part of internalizing your politics in emotional narratives. "Yeah, but California was WRONG!" is probably your most likely response.

They don't have to follow the rules and limitations because that only allows "evil" to fester. If you were ever to suggest not following the rules and limitations, it just shows how evil you are. It's how we keep the game fair, or something.

For the Democrats to gerrymaner a state, they need to draw insane boundaries.

For the GOP to "gerrymander" a state, all they need to do is just restore the obvious and natural boundaries that should have been there in the first place.

In other words, what the GOP does is actually anti-gerrymandering, because the natural and obvious district boundaries will favor them 90% of the time.

Yep because the Democrat voting coalition is two groups of people that famously and really noticeably don't live near each other, and very few outside of them, namely:

- Rich white AWFULs
- Black people

So in order to get a district that will almost certainly elect a Dem, they have to draw district lines that include some whitebread ass suburban HOA hellhole, then connect it via interstate highway to the black ghetto.

226 Non-election lawyer me wonders how close to primaries courts will permit congressional district remapping shenanigans. Maybe it's a dumb question. Especially in Blue States. In those states the remapping and primary election separation period will from now on be whatever the Democrat Machine can get away with.
---
Not dumb Q at all.
There's a specific SCOTUS case on that, no election law changes before a pending election.
Recently the TX redistricting case set (for now) that "pending" as roughly 90 days before the election.

They stayed the judges injunction on the new maps in December as the primary election was set for March; allowing the new maps to go into effect.

That's why VA is pushing so hard to get these maps in place now--and why the delay could be fatal.
VA starts early voting for the general in September.
Meaning late June.
And they still have to hold their primaries for the "new" districts. Which, I think, have to be completed a required number of days before the General.

Taking Arlington County and the City of Alexandria out of Virginia would help us, for sure, but the margin of victory for Kamala in 24 in VA was, iirc, about 300k votes. Arlington and Alexandria combined have about 400k residents of all ages. Once you take out minors and the 20-30% that voted R...it's a close call.

301 @272 284 I think it would take about a nanosecond for a court to slap down the EO returning Arlington to DC. Even if the Constitution provided for it, there have been almost 170 years since Virginia took the land back when no one challenged it. I don't know of any legislation that PDT could point to that would justify it, and a lot of legislation where Congress has assumed that the land and people belong to Virginia.

Now, if Congress were to pass a law, that would be a very different story.

Personally, I'd rather see DC reduced down to the area from the Washington Monument to the Capital, including the White House, and give the rest of it to Maryland.

Every single county in Massachusetts voted for Kamala over Trump in 2024, with only a single county (Bristol) even being close. If there aren't sufficiently large geographic areas where Republican voters dominate, then there won't be any Congressional districts won by Republicans even without gerrymandering. A cursory glance at a map of Massachusetts Congressional districts shows some gerrymandering but relatively mild.

Fauci Advisor David Morens -- Whom Biden Forgot to Pardon -- Arrested and Charged for Conspiracy and Destruction of Federal Records Related to Fauci's COVID Cover-Up
Update! Is Peter Daszak Next?!

There are dozens of criminals Biden's Autopen Autocrats were too incompetent to pardon. Arrest and jail them all.

Dr. David M. Morens, a former top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci, was arrested and charged Tuesday with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in one of the first cases to allege a cover-up in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The charges -- brought by the FBI, Justice Department and the U.S. Health and Human Services inspector general -- allege the former senior scientific adviser at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Fauci led for 38 years, committed conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.
Morens, 78, of Chester, Md., served as a senior advisor in NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 through 2022, the year Fauci retired.
...
The filing of the charges was immediately praised by two powerful investigative chairmen in Congress who had alleged Morens was destroying records and using private email to keep information about the coronavirus and its origins from Congress.
"More than two years ago, my PSI staff discovered and made public emails in which Dr. David Morens bragged to colleagues about his efforts to avoid transparency by destroying federal records and using his personal email to communicate on 'sensitive issues,'" said Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
...
"The House Oversight Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic uncovered evidence revealing Dr. Morens -- a top advisor to Dr. Fauci -- intentionally took action to conceal and falsify records about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic," Comer said. "We caught Dr. Morens red-handed as he boasted in emails about how the 'FOIA lady' coached him on how to hide records and cover-up information. I applaud the Trump Justice Department for taking action to hold this public official accountable for hiding information from the American people. No one is above the law and under the Trump Administration, overdue accountability is finally here."

I believe Morens bragged about deliberately misspelling key words in emails so that when his records were subpoenaed -- and remember, when records are subpoenaed, only those records containing keywords approved by a judge are actually searched for, so if you deliberately misspell "COVID" as "CVOID" it won't be found -- his nefarious schemes to bury evidence that COVID was created by his pals at the Wuhan lab wouldn't be found.

The indictment alleges that Morens:
Conspired with two others during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud and commit several offenses against the United States after NIH terminated a grant called Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.
Conspired with others to restore the termination of the bat coronavirus grant and counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab.
Agreed in writing to intentionally hide from public view their communications by corresponding using Morens's personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH email account.

Received a gratuity in the form of wine for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," and identified an official act that he could perform to "deserve" the gift, which was a scientific commentary in a prominent medical journal advocating that COVID-19 had natural origins.

Update: Charging document here, if you want to give it a once-over.

Update!: Fauci's butt-buddy in corruption, Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth who was used as a cut-out to illegally fund the Wuhan lab, is almost certainly the man the indictment calls "CO-CONSPIRATOR," and should be the next to be arrested and charged.

Daszak is the co-conspirator here. His indictment should be next. I didn’t think we’d ever see it, but accountability for the Covid origin cover up has finally arrived. Incredible. https://t.co/uWYIe1tX6O pic.twitter.com/lX7O6WdTCD

The plenary power of the president to pardon is so unquestioned and clear in the Constitution any challenge to it is going to be...difficult.

When it comes to the pardons of the last couple of days of Biden's presidency, well, he was around. "Yes, I authorized the use of the autopen for that," will be all he'd need to say.

There are a handful of uses of the autopen from when he was on vacation that would easier to target for challenge, but those last minute ones would be a waste of time and money to challenge in court.

46 I saw a post on Farcebook where someone said, "The best part of being a conspiracy theorist is not getting Myocarditis."

And there were a number of responses along the lines of, "Well I got the covid vaccine and I don't have Myocarditis either!"

But this sort of misses the forest for the trees. The argument was a high percentage of people that did not get the clot shot would die from COVID, in addition to spreading it to their unvaccinated friends, leading to a mass die off. This was the argument the government used for its mandates.

And yet the pure bloods are still here...and with a much lower rate of Myocarditis then the clot shotted...

The plenary power of the president to pardon is so unquestioned and clear in the Constitution any challenge to it is going to be...difficult.

When it comes to the pardons of the last couple of days of Biden's presidency, well, he was around. "Yes, I authorized the use of the autopen for that," will be all he'd need to say.

There are a handful of uses of the autopen from when he was on vacation that would easier to target for challenge, but those last minute ones would be a waste of time and money to challenge in court.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at April 28, 2026 01:27 PM (R/457)

He cant delegate the use of autopen pardons to someone else to make pardon decisions. ?? I would think he would have to at least be given a full list of pardons for him to initial and send to autopen. Oh yeah im thinking like someone who is not a conniving crook.

-------
Not necessary, as of caselaw right now, presidential pardons do not apply to states (litigation involving Tina Peters is slowly ascending there). So any state can probably dig up enough charges on state grounds for Fauci to spend the rest of his life in court (see Palko v. CT) along with state civil lawsuits to bankrupt the bastard.

When one constitutional provision seems to close a door, you often can open a window to achieve much of the same purpose.

It was fate for us to meet out West. A crazy fate, however, yet it was written in the stars and why I rarely dated in HS and my first two years of college. He was on the distant horizon.

94 Interesting crow activity here too, ace. All spring, crows harass some big raptor (not a redtail hawk, those haven't been seen in a long time and it's presumed this other bird, possibly a Coopers hawk, has driven them out - though the new raptor is smaller than a Coopers hawk .... bit of a mystery). As if they have nests nearby, which they must.

But the more interesting crow activity, which seems to have stopped for now - every dusk, there's a giant massed flight of crows westward towards the coast. Passes right by/over me. Sometimes some of them will stop here - power lines and roofs are covered with them, it's like "The Birds". Then all at once off they go.

The numbers are impressive. When the stream doesn't pause, it goes on for a few minutes, hundreds of crows. WTF with all that? Should really look into it. Neighbors and friends talk about it too.

Posted by: rhomboid at April 28, 2026 01:41 PM (U/Byj)

Some crows locally will make a rookery of sorts in the hills, and commute back and forth evening and night to the river. I call them the commuters. An old-timer told me a story about wandering into one of those groups at dusk during deer season, said it was really eerie.
I think they split into pairs during the spring to nest and forage, and get together in the fall - they mate for life, or at least until one of them dies.
The other thing is that the yearling crows have a sort of wandering period where they go off in adolescent packs to go be stupid and learn to survive, and then go back to the group when they settle down a bit

***********************
I hate the squirrel that showed up uninvited 8yrs ago to our feeder in the backyard. I've been known to go out onto the deck like a madwoman and yell at it.

Currently we have red finch nesting in a hanging basket on the front porch. My husband likes them better than me and I can't put our furniture out there for weeks or til his four eggs hatch and fly away. I think that's the rule this week. He has just about driven them insane, these poor birds, so I hope some of them hatch. There's a bird camera on them (this is the latest from last weekend).

Things have settled down for them and they are content along with the man I married. I kept waiting for the parent birds to peck his eyes out.

At one point, thinking he was helping, he put the hanging basket on a chain for a merry carnival ride spin. I think that's when she laid the fourth egg. If any are normal it will be a miracle.

Posted by: 18-1

That is not the history of pardons going way back to the Whiskey Rebellion and before that royal usage which is how the president got the pardon power in the first place.

The rules are generally that you can be very specific about the person or very specific about the event (aka Jan 6 or Vietnam draft evaders) so that the courts can know who is pardoned and who is not.

The pardon power is a circuit breaker given our Constitution is based on negative, government shalt no do...., liberties. And the view is that an executive provides a means of mercy for those that the law convicts but are morally not guilty. And a means of reconciling society in mass pardons rather than stirring the pot.

As someone who used to work with big data back in the day and databases, the easiest way to hide something is make it something that cannot be indexed properly by known techniques. Inserting junk data. E.g. change your facts up on any birthdates, address, phone numbers, emails, etc. on each big data non government submission (warranties, sweepstakes, etc.) which can make it much harder to determine by Big Data that you are the same person to target. Even inserting illegal characters and bad handwriting can do that as well.

The British never needed a right to silence because often they say the opposite of what they mean on paper.

It is done by inflection, facial expressions, and tone to indicate a reversal of what they said.

Posted by: ace

Feeder? No feeder will attract a crow.

To get specific:

Get a heavy ceramic or baked-clay dish/bowl. What I used was the bottom round "water-catching tray" (not sure if there's a separate name for them) from a standard red clay plant-growing pot. But anything random will do, as low as it's fairly heavy and has side walls 2 inches or more high. (I'm being too detailed on this trivial detail - -basically, get a big dish.)

Put the dish somewhere very visible and elevated, preferably on a flat stable surface.

Put into the dish about a cups's worth of dry puppy chow, cat chow or dog chow with smallish pieces.

Sprinkle a few random puppy chow bits around the dish.

Wait. Crows will come.

I tried to listen but things were starting to percolate.

I told him she was not allowed for any holiday meals. And that I did not want to see her til the New Year. Plus she'd have to meet with me in private for answers to questions. That ran her off for good to think about meeting privately with me.

=====

The best part of the FL redistricting is that the new map is more constitutional (regarding the state's founding document) than the current one.

It's more compact, with more sensibly designed districts, and still balances the requirements around partisanship and race.

There's another map going around from Democrats that creates a blue district from Jacksonville to Tallahassee that Democrats are calling fair.

Party whips and a large majority allow them to do that. If the GOP had a 240-195 majority in the House, they could do the same thing. Defectors get hammered and closets as offices on the top floor of the Cannon House Office Building and no calls returned.

Same with GOP in the Senate which is why the leaders try to sabotage to keep it under 55 for either side. You don't have mavericks much in large majorities as that costs a person. Narrow majorities lead to members of Congress leading their best lives as traitors and defectors claiming principle. Good protection for the corrupt as well.

The fun part about this is the stated reason for VA, that they must begin the primaries.

Which, I presume, under law (ha! now they want to follow the law) requires a certain number of days for the primary campaign, for run-off and all must be completed such number of days before the General starts, which IIRC, is September in VA.

FWIW, the crucial parliamentary debate over the Norway fiasco in WWII led directly to the resignation of Neville Chamberlain after his government See the Norway Debate or the gripping account in William Manchester's 'Alone'

The government's notional majority was 213, but 41 members who normally supported the government voted with the Opposition, while an estimated 60 other Conservatives deliberately abstained. The government still won the vote by 281 to 200, but its majority was reduced to 81.

I barely survived some of my college experiences, but, man, did I have fun!

We decided when our boys were born that what they don't know about us won't hurt them if they tried to be like us.

I'm told these are court approved search warrants being served and they are tied to fraud, not immigration enforcement. Fox is told 22 search warrants were executed in Minnesota this morning.
DOJ spokesperson holding statement:
"Today the FBI with federal, state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation."

It occurred to me this morning that there was also a lot of assassination-chic in trendy circles when George W. Bush was President - as I recall, there was a novel about it that got lots of favorable reviews, as well as the usual round of "jokes" by Leftist comedians.

The D's have been at this for twenty-five years when a Republican is President.

I read a handful of Portland leftists on Bluesky, and several of them have reposted fantasies about the nationwide celebrations that will occur when The Bad Orange Man kicks the bucket.

Thinking that a Republican President deserves death is increasingly a mainstream Democratic position.

Because its not about stopping fraud. MN has a much smaller incidence of this fraud than either Texas or Florida, in fact a sitting republican from Florida is one of the biggest medicare fraudsters in the country

So are the feds investigating anything the state wasn't already doing, or are they just joining open investigations from the state so they can take credit and claim the state wasn't actually doing anything?

I thought sending in 3,000 ICE agents was supposed to take care of all of this?

this is probably all for the cameras to create news to get the disastrous war and Epstein scandals off the front page. Trump hates Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, so it’s possible Keystone Kash is just kicking us to make his boss happy so he won’t get fired.

SPLC says their "informant" program was not kept secret from law enforcement.

This is called "lying by extraneous inclusion"

1) that's not the crime you're accused of committing. You're accused of fraudulently concealing that you were funding racists and fomenting racists posting and events
2) it's already established you worked with the FBI. But you said "the DOJ" (in your filing) not "the FBI." And, no matter, that doesn't elevate you to a full law enforcement entity.
3) and how much did you disclose to the DOJ? Your filing only say that you let the DOJ know you used confidential informants.
Again, that's not what you are accused of doing.

If that's their best defense, they know they are F'ed.

Catching it and doing something about it are not the same thing, dolt.

It is the difference between "activity" and "accomplishment". You think the former are sufficient, worthy of high praise, and stepping stones to advancement.

Smoke and mirrors and bullshit -- that is your world of "accomplishment". That is why you wet your pants for Shrillary, for Red Kammie, and for countless other nullities who are hard pressed merely to tie their shoes each day.

Just get the fook out of the way and let folks with the gumption actually do things, accomplish things. You lackwits are enthralled with the doings of layabouts and thieves, to the detriment of the rest of us.

Just the opposite on this type fraud. They have to PRODUCE documentation of necessity, and show where the money went. They can shred, pulp and burn any evidence they want to, but if they can't show where the money went....tough noogies. Plus, they used two practices to take the money outside the US. One was international flights where suitcases of cash were flown out three times a week. The other was a Somali owned money transfer branch (there are three main branches in downtown Minneapolis). That company is required to keep records of transfer or they lose operations in the US.

189 I ran across an interesting thread of Farcebook.

Someone posts, "I hate capitalism, I don't want to work, I want to make art and spend time in my garden"

Some guy named Kostos Moros responds, "Then go do that instead of working for someone else. Or do you mean you want someone else to be forced to work to provide you food, goods, and services while you do your art?"

And Hannah Cox, yes the DC buttsechs girls from 20 years ago responds, "See capitalists just want a slave class they can force to work"

And the fascinating part of this is both Cox and the original poster just assume there are free goods and services laying around to be "distributed" to them.

Now, I'm an experience 29 year old and I too am sick of working. But the reason I have to is Musk or Bezos making me do it - its the that the government has taken half or more of what I've earned year in and year out. Give us a government the size of say 1886 America and I would have retired years ago.

201 Just the opposite on this type fraud. They have to PRODUCE documentation of necessity, and show where the money went. They can shred, pulp and burn any evidence they want to, but if they can't show where the money went....tough noogies. Plus, they used two practices to take the money outside the US. One was international flights where suitcases of cash were flown out three times a week. The other was a Somali owned money transfer branch (there are three main branches in downtown Minneapolis). That company is required to keep records of transfer or they lose operations in the US.

As I put in the last thread, the state wanted to just go around the original hold on certification and approve the election, b/c they need to get primaries underway if they want the new borders. They didn't want to wait for the Supreme Court's decision.

The court just told them, no, we are supreme and you will sit and wait til we tell you what to do.

Kinda like the US courts that way...although here, it's actually the right call.

My first thought was, ok Globohomo owns D&D now, but then it did make me wonder, Beholders have mind control powers, are evil, and like screwing with people - maybe this actually is a transgressive take on Globohomo?

Just the opposite on this type fraud. They have to PRODUCE documentation of necessity, and show where the money went. They can shred, pulp and burn any evidence they want to, but if they can't show where the money went....tough noogies. Plus, they used two practices to take the money outside the US. One was international flights where suitcases of cash were flown out three times a week. The other was a Somali owned money transfer branch (there are three main branches in downtown Minneapolis). That company is required to keep records of transfer or they lose operations in the US.

The court seems... unconvinced by the Democrats thus far.

The Dems entire argument hinges on 'Election Day' meaning 'Election Day.'

Virginia must - constitutionally - hold an election between two redistricting votes. They're arguing that even though early voting had been going on for more than a month before they put out the new map, technically Election Day hadn't occurred, and wouldn't occur until the votes were counted.

Multiple justices asked versions of "You've been arguing for Election Month for decades, but now you want there to be Election Day in this one and only case?"

The Morning Rant: NATO...An Idea Whose Time Is Past

The population of the countries comprising NATO is about 980 million people. If one subtracts the population of the United States, it is about 635 million people, or 1.8X the population of the United States. Yet the NATO countries spend far less per capita on their militaries (≈$975) than does the USA (≈$2,800), and far less in absolute terms; the USA spends about 1.6X what the rest of NATO spends. And it is actually worse, because a portion of America's defense budget is spent in Europe, maintaining our bases and paying our personnel, whereas Europe's infrastructure and personnel expenditure is primarily domestic.

Of course they use the money we spend and they don't on a cradle-to-grave welfare state that has crippled most of Europe and turned a once great region into a post-modern mess of accommodation, hatred of nationalism and patriotism, massive guilt for their previous success, and worst of all, a simmering hatred of all things American ... including our military!

In addition to the ridiculous imbalance in defense spending, not all of the member states of NATO are comfortable with its mutual defense requirements. In fact, Spain is unabashedly anti-American, and refused use of its American bases for the effort against the mad Mullahs of Iran. Turkey's loyalties are suspect because of its close relationships with countries and movements that are explicitly anti-American, anti-West, and support Islamic expansionism. Italy has also refused the use of Sigonella Air Base in Sicily, and France has restricted flights over its territory.

The reality is that NATO and Europe are happy to benefit from our underwriting of their defense, but are unwilling to perform the basic functions of allies, including even pro forma participation in an effort to destroy the nuclear aspirations of a country that is an avowed enemy of the West and has stated explicitly for the last 47 years that its goal is the destruction of the West and the ushering in of an Islamic state. And let us not forget its less lofty goals of supporting Islamic terrorism across the world that has killed thousands, including in Europe!

The benefit of NATO for America has clearly faded, and the costs are simply too much to bear. The original function has been subsumed in a mass of bureaucratic waste, competing national priorities, and most of all the shrinking of the world-wide Soviet threat into a regional player that can't project its military might more than 100 miles into its neighbor.

Should we leave NATO? Yes. Is it politically possible? Probably not, but the administration, through the Department of War can reorient our NATO effort to one more focused on real strategic threats and in countries that are less virulently and reflexively anti-American. In other words...punish our enemies and reward our friends. And if that means moving our bases from Spain and the UK and Italy to Israel and Poland, then so be it.

It is no longer the responsibility of the American taxpayer to buttress European defense. Their economies are successful enough to fund it without our assistance, although they are welcome to purchase our military technology if they are capable of keeping it out of the hands of the Chinese and the Russians.

Perhaps we can sell them our bases!

19 I'm sure everyone here is in favor of scaling back or eliminating the military assistance we give to NATO, at least in Old Europe. Another question is the extent to which a surprise mass attack is even possible any more.

It was clear that Russian intended to attack Ukraine long before it happened. There simply wasn't the political will to do anything about it. Likewise, if China went after Taiwan, we'd know about it long in advance - long enough to move assets to counter it.

In the age of satellites, drones, and loyal wingmen, political will is a lot more important than assets on the ground.

Nonetheless, I'd like to move our current NATO assets to the front line states - they at least are taking the Russian threat seriously.

37 NATO was formed in '49, a year after 1948's Marshall Plan.

Since the Trump administration essentially (finally, in most ways) ended the latter last year -- dismantling foreign aid programs, incorporating USAID into the State Department (and eventually killing it), opposing international development goals, emphasizing bilateral reciprocity over multilateral cooperation, considering withdrawing from global institutions like the World Bank & IMF, et. al. -- it follows that we should essentially end the former this year.

Belgium has retired four of its eight NH90s. After two crashes, one fatal, and other issues; Australia has retired and scrapped its entire NH90 fleet. Australia's MoD said they tried to sell them but no one wanted to buy them.

Germany has found the loading ramp of the NH90 to be weak and the floor in the troop compartment can be damaged by combat boots.

44 "No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!"

-Ronald Reagan

That last glib comment is funny, but bureaucracies actually aren't immortal, because of that first statement of "voluntarily reduc(ing) itself".

As parasites, bureaucracies always weaken their host until the host is defeated by outside forces. It's why economists found that defeated countries (in this case, Germany and Japan) grow at ASTOUNDING rates, because the vested interest groups and entrenched bureaucracies had been ground into dust.

I'm not saying losing a war is good for a country, because there has never been a victor as magnanimous as the US, but destroying bureaucracies ought to be the aim of every patriot.

As bad as the Western Eurotrash cockfags are, the worst of them is the Frogs. DeGaulle took one look at a map and realized that Frogpatch didn't need to join the military branch of NATO to enjoy the defense advantages. But since NATO was stupid enough to form the political branch in such a way that a nation could join that part of the organization separately, the Frogs took advantage of it. So they got to have a rather substantial role in setting the direction of NATO policy, without having to commit their military to NATO command.

Left them the resources to attempt a post-war reconstruction of the French colonial empire. But, being Frogs, they fucked it up and lost the two big jewels in the empire within 15 years: Indochina and Algeria. Not that either place is much of a jewel.

He's telling them to get off their asses and start to work. He gets it.

I was in Europe a few years ago riding their subway. They had a TV screen playing "news". One of the news programs was about how China would so be using 100% renewables and the US and even Europe were way, way behind.

And it was all lies and bullshit. But in Europe this is the kind of crap sold to them regularly by both the left and the "right".

60 Mark Elias, Victim of Trump

Marc E. Elias
@marceelias
Trump has called me an "election stealing lawyer," a "radical" and a "bad person." He has posted that I am "scared" and "should be." His FBI director said I am "the enemy of the Republican Party."
I won't stop speaking out against the threat Trump poses to democracy. Period.

-
Marc Elias, in his own words:

"Donald Trump is plotting to overthrow American democracy."
"Echoing Hitler's rise to power."
"It is possible that our constitutional system simply cannot handle a threat like Trump."
"Existential threat to democracy."
"He is not a normal candidate. There are no both sides. There can be no false equivalencies."
"Trump will do anything to win and the Republican Party will aid and abet him at every turn."
"We can expect he will insist his supporters be more aggressive, more ruthless and more violent."
"What we must do is nothing less than protect democracy from Donald Trump."
"Anyone who thinks that a re-elected President Trump would not insist on controlling ballot counting and certification has simply not been paying attention."
"I have watched the Republican Party morph into a crime family that boasts about rigging electio

Instead, we've let these leeches continue using our military might as a security blanket.

67 The Department of Justice announced Tuesday it has indicted a top Fauci-era National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases employee for allegedly taking part in a scheme to conceal federal records regarding COVID-19 research grants.

The DOJ said that David Morens, 78, has been charged with conspiracy against the U.S., which includes destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal or mutilation of records as well as aiding and abetting. From 2006 to 2022, Morens served as a senior advisor to former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci.

82 Kind of reminds me of the discussion we had last night at my sewing/knitting circle. We all go to one of two churches in the same denomination, but we found out that the nitty-gritty of church committees is very different between the two churches. Our church has a one-time new membership "class" (a Sunday lunch at the pastor's house with a meeting including him and two council members beforehand), and the other church doesn't. Our "class" lays out the church's stance on certain issues, but more pertinent to our discussion, the expectations of new members. New members are given a grace period of about a year, and then the council will include them in the phone calls in June to ask people to be on committees. The elder at our meeting warned us that if we don't say "no" to the phone call or text, that is an automatic "yes." We were asked what our strengths and weaknesses were so they could figure out where to put us.

All this is to say that our church has stated very clearly that as long as you are able, we *will* be using your talents. Maybe NATO should consider that concept.

Any NATO armed forces outside of the U.S., are only good for local operations without our planes moving troops & materiel around.

So Europe is only good to defend Europe, and Canada is only good to defend Canada. And they can't even effectively do that right now outside of possibly France and Poland.

I don't see then gaining the will to improve that situation in the near future, either, due to so many of these nations deliberately gimping their own armed forces and their own industrial and energy sectors.

When Russia first went in to Ukraine, I was assured by many here that it would be a walkover; a matter of days or weeks. Then, when it wasn't, I was told the Russians historically started slow, but eventually became unstoppable. When THAT didn't happen, it was going to become a war of attrition, and Russia would eventually win.

Russia Could Attack a NATO Country Within Months, Polish Prime Minister Warns. “This is something really serious. I’m talking about short-term perspectives, rather months than years,” he said.

apparently the follwing has to be repeated over and over again: The west is not afraid of Russia winning a war against us. We are afraid of them *trying*!

This is like "IRAN IS ABOUT TO MAKE A NUCLEAR WEAPON" threat that Nethanyahu's been saying for the last 20 years at least once every 6 months

Ukraine been dominating them for weeks and just got huge money boost. Second: the russian army been in worse condition week by week recently, so wtf could they even do?

Randomly invite whole NATO into war to totally get anhiliated?

This means eu and nato can justify new laws and regulations. Did muricans visited Polska lately or something? Sounds like there's a massive spending waiting. So just in case if peeps ain't happy with how prices are going up and up and probably will get way worse soon - be afraid! ruzkis could come!

One of Reagan's arguments was that we were more likely to have peace if we had a strong enough military to make the Soviets fear the outcome of any military conflict.

The left at the time called him a warmonger and argued that if you pay for a military you will end up using it.

Glad to see they are 100% reversed here though I still don't get the argument. The US military is sufficient to defeat Russia in an invasion into NATO even without the rest of NATO. Add in Poland and whatever scraps the rest of Europe puts together and the picture is even better.

But...then the logical answer would be Europe should dramatically increase defense spending, *beyond* American levels, AND agree to the reasonable terms Trump has been asking for to keep the US in the alliance and committed to it - not just spending more but sending ships to the Gulf and so on.

I don't think you need to be a member of any bar to be a SC judge, or any judge. The bar membership allows you to practice law -- as in representing clients -- in a given jurisdiction. It's not a requirement for judges.

Getting rid of a chief justice is a tall order, but if he is indeed disbarred (although I doubt it will happen), the blowback will be profound, and I can't imagine that he would stick around. He would be completely neutered.

I know cynicism is the coin of the realm around here but I agree. Yes, there is no rule that you have to be a lawyer to be on the SC but there aren't too many plumbers on the SC. Being disbarred would be the end of Roberts on the SC.

238 SPLC says their "informant" program was not kept secret from law enforcement.

This is called "lying by extraneous inclusion"

1) that's not the crime you're accused of committing. You're accused of fraudulently concealing that you were funding racists and fomenting racists posting and events
2) it's already established you worked with the FBI. But you said "the DOJ" (in your filing) not "the FBI." And, no matter, that doesn't elevate you to a full law enforcement entity.
3) and how much did you disclose to the DOJ? Your filing only say that you let the DOJ know you used confidential informants.
Again, that's not what you are accused of doing.

If that's their best defense, they know they are F'ed.

'We’ll Be Your Canada’: Brutal Reality Check for NATO Free-Riders | Victor Davis Hanson, The Daily Signal, Apr 8, 2026 Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words

In brief, Germany’s invasion of France wasn’t our war, yet Franklin D. Roosevelt still sent military equipment, and later soldiers, to retake Western Europe.

However, Europe’s cold shoulder may not be out of spite, but an inability to help at all, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”:

“They have dreamed of utopia and a good life, and the result is that their fertility rate is 1.3. They are shrinking. They are aging. They’re not competitive. So they don’t have the manpower, even though they have a 450 million-person population. Europe is larger than us by 100 million.

“And even though they have a $22 trillion GDP, which is the third-largest, apparently they don’t want to invest that in their own defense, or they haven’t so far. They don’t want us to use it when we need it.”
