Heritage President Kevin Roberts, Who Defended Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes: I Was Misled, I Didn't Know the World's Most Famous Internet Nazi Nick Fuentes Was a Nazi

Before getting to that: There is an idea being pushed by Nick Fuentes -- and now by Tucker Carlson and his various simps and cucks -- that it is absolutely crucial to the conservative movement that we accept in Nazis like Nick Fuentes.


Where did this idea come from? Nick Fuentes has been attacking the actual conservative movement for years and telling his "Groyper" supporters to vote for Kamala Harris.

Nick Fuentes, who noted World War Two Revisionist Scholar Tucker Carlson attempted to mainstream, told his supporters to vote against Trump and for Kamala Harris. He also vowed to destroy Turning Point USA and Charlie Kirk.

I have avoided even learning about Fuentes because 1, I'm not super-interested in "speech patrolling the right," 2, I'm tired of the left-wing media telling me who my thought leaders are (hint, it's not Nick Fuentes) and 3, he's a loudmouthed, crude, moronic asshole who routinely praises Adolf Hitler and he's just not worth my time.

HOWEVER, now that Tucker Carlson gave him a fluffer interview mainstreaming his views (while avoiding talking about what his views actually are), I'm forced to discuss him.

Here's what Nick Fuentes says about JD Vance:

Steve Norris
@SteveNorrisTV


OUCH! #MAGA is eating its own.

Here's what Nick Fuentes says about VP JD Vance...

"He is literally a fat, gay, race traitor that married a jееt."

From context, I understand "jeet" to be a slur for an Indian.

I am not upset he is insulting Vance or his "jeet" wife.

I am pointing out that, contrary to the claims of Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and even Matt Walsh, who says we must stop fighting about Nick Fuentes and simply "unite" with him for the good of the party, Fuentes and his Gay Nazi fans are not part of the party, and they actively campaign and vote for Democrats, and fight to destroy MAGA and the GOP so that his version of a reconstituted Nazi Party can rise up in his ashes.

In other words: We have won many elections without Fuentes and his Nazis, and in fact we won 2024 despite Fuentes urging his supporters to vote for Kamala Harris.

So why, exactly, do we need to turn the GOP into the New Nazi Party to win? How can Tucker Carlson claim that Nick Fuentes is vital to our futures?

In terms the Nazis would use: The Nazis are not looking to assimilate into the party.

They are looking to replace the party.

The Nazis have a replacement theory of their own.

And I say: "They will not replace us!"

Candace Owens, meanwhile, is telling her supporters to not vote at all "until we find out who killed Charlie Kirk." Who she's pretty sure is Binyamin Netanyahu and also, All Jews, Generally.

candaceowensnovoting.jpg

As Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh instruct us: It is important to form a coalition with these rock-ribbed Republican and conservative stalwarts to avoid "dividing the right."

If you criticize them, remember, you're "cancelling" them, and you wouldn't cancel a Nazi, would you? Hypocrite!

jewscontroltheweather.jpg

I'm not the biggest fan of Ben Shapiro but his exposé of Fuentes and his frequent utterance of "Heil Hitler," Holocaust denial, and constant claims that a cabal of "occult" demonic Jews rule the world, is outstanding.

Watch at least the first five minutes. No, Fuentes is not just "trolling the libtards" by saying he's a Nazi. He's an actual Nazi.

The back half of this takedown is even better, as he demonstrates that Fuentes has been attacking Tucker Carlson for a long while, and Carlson fears that Fuentes is stealing his base of antisemitism-curious conspiracy theorists away from him. So, Shapiro says, the "coward" Tucker Carlson -- who will not speak the antisemitic conspiracy theories that drive him, but instead has on guests whom he gives tongue-baths to who will speak the words that Tucker Carlson will not -- just interviews people with Interesting Theories about Jews, and then says "It's important we have these 'discussions,' about which topic I will not specify."

He means "the JQ" -- Nazis' shorthand for the "Jewish Question" that Hitler answered in 1940-1945. What shall we do with these Jews who live among us, subverting us?

Well, if it's important to have discussions about whether or not Jewish Warlocks are hypnotizing gullible Christians into selling their souls for them, that it's also important to have discussions about whether Tucker Carlson is now simply a Nazi.

Either we can have these controversial yet "important" "discussions" about all controversial matters, Tucker, or we can't have them at all. It's not just you who gets to decide who will be demonized and have hate-mobs whipped up against them.

Bonus points to Shapiro for repeatedly stating, correctly, that Tucker Carlson is a "cuck" who "cucked out" to Nazis.

Shapiro also calls out Carlson for something I've repeatedly pointed out myself: Tucker Carlson has a big problem with the pro-Israel Trump, but he knows his audience is pro-Trump, so he attacks Trump's positions by assigning them to MAGA enemies like Lindsey Graham and then attacking Lindsey Graham.

Yes, Graham is odious. And yes, Graham said "Bomb Iran."

But Trump said "Bomb Iran" too, and when Trump said it it was more important, because Trump said that as a command to the US Air Force.

But Tucker Carlson is a wormy, sniveling coward, so when he attacks the pro-Israel Trump he pretends he's talking about other people.

Be a man, Tucker. You want to take on Trump? Then stop hiding behind Lindsey Graham and take on Trump.

But you won't. Coward.


We're getting a lot of "Just stop arguing, unite the right even if it means uniting with Nazis" from people I have lost a lot of respect for, like the formerly stellar Jesse Kelly.

Kelly acts as if it's the Dirty Jews who are provoking this dispute and that "both sides" are equally to blame, the Nazis who say "Jews Will Not Replace Us" and the Jews who object, "We're not replacing anyone."


People will claim this is "just about Israel." It's not. Tucker Carlson has, over the past couple of years, repeatedly accused Jews of murdering Christians, platformed Nazi sympathizers who say the US entered World War Two on the wrong side, stated that there was no one on earth he hated more than "Christian Zionists" -- Christians who think the Jews should have a home of their own (funny, no one ever questions whether the British should have a home of their own, or the Irish), attacked Mark Levin and other politically-active Jews of "dual loyalty," etc.

If you haven't noticed, an awful lot of people, including Hamas terrorists, claim "I just opposed the government of Israel" but then attack non-Israeli Jews. Tucker Carlson is now a proud member of that group.

He also, of course, gave a tongue bath to Putin and claimed that Akshually Russia is a Super-Advanced High-Functioning Democracy.

And he claimed that Hamas was not a terrorist group, pleading ignorance on the subject, claiming that while other people (Jews) claim it's a terrorist group, he has no evidence of this, and that Hamas "seems like a political organization to me."

And then: Platforming the Nazi and agreeing with everything the Nazi said.

This was inevitable. This is where the Tucker Carlson Train was always headed. He knows people aren't ready for full-on Nazism yet, so he's using the tactic of boiling the frogs little by little so they barely notice they're in a warm bath of Nazism.

He also released an "exposé" on 9/11, which trotted out the old formerly left-wing conspiracy theories that tower 7 was not destroyed by a plane crash but by other unspecified means (a controlled demolition) and of course that Benjamin Netanyahu and the Famous Israeli Art Students had advance knowledge of 9/11 but let it happen because it helped them advance their Jewish Plots.

He claims "of course I didn't allege the Jews did it" before immediately laying out a trail of bread crumbs that, when followed, leads directly to "The Jews did it."

I joined the Republican Fucking Party to traffic in the old "Loose Change" Bush Blew Up Tower 7 conspiracy theories? I now have to co-sign Rosie O'Donnell's "Fire Doesn't Melt Steel" metalurgical proofs?

If this is the Republican Party, or this is what the Republican Party becomes, then I'm not part of it. So Tucker and Steve Bannon can scheme about how many more "Republicans" we have when we mainstream Nazism and white supremacy, but they had better count on millions and millions of people fleeing the party.

I did not sign up for this bullshit. I will not become a Nazi to "own the libs."

With that ugly backstory out of the way -- and I have avoided discussing this on this site for a while; this is not a fight I sought to have, with anyone -- we now come to Kevin Roberts, president of Heritage, who really threw gas on this fire by claiming that anyone who had a problem with Tucker Carlson's turn towards Nazism is just a dirty "Cancel Culture" wokester and we shouldn't cancel anyone, including Fuentes, including any other out-and-proud white supremacist Nazi.

This fight raged all through the weekend, with Heritage's anti-semitism task force resigning rather than continue employment at an organization which has officially declared that antisemitism to be a respectable position in rightist thought.

Dana Loesch as been a star on this issue. She interrogated Kevin Roberts and left him babbling like a baby. Heritage's public statement spoke of a "venomous coalition" -- Jews, non-anti-semites -- that organized to say "Enough" to Tucker Carlson.

She asked him if it was also "venomous" for Tucker Carlson to say that there was no one on earth he despised more than Christian Zionists.

Roberts babbled some more.

Dana Loesch Calls Out Conservative Influencers for Sacrificing Principles to Social Media Stardom!

"You pay attention to who talks about this and who doesn't because the people that don't talk about it are the people that are trying to guard their ass."

In a fiery segment on the Dana Loesch Show, the conservative commentator lambasted prominent figures on the right for their reluctance to confront controversial ideologies within their ranks, attributing it to a fear of jeopardizing lucrative platforms and audience access.

Loesch highlighted how many have remained silent on divisive issues, driven by a desire for "adjacency to that influence," such as sharing stages with high-profile personalities like Tucker Carlson or embarking on campus tours for personal acclaim. "That's why a lot of these people don't speak out," she asserted, urging listeners to scrutinize the quiet ones: "You pay attention to who talks about this and who doesn't because the people that don't talk about it are the people that are trying to guard their ass."

I admit I'm one of the people who ducked this issue, at least on the blog. I did talk it up on X. As I said, I wasn't eager to get into this fight -- but I'm also not going to run cover to Tucker Carlson, who plainly has something wrong with him. (He's slurring his consonant clusters just like Biden did, now. "Abstract" gets pronounced "abstack." S's frequently become Sh's.)

I'm pissed at people like Matt Walsh and Jesse Kelly. If you want to remain silent -- THEN STAY SILENT. Don't peddle this bullshit that the Nazis and the people the Nazis are slurring and saying should be "given the death penalty" are both equally to blame.

On with Dana Loesch:


Loesch dismissed excuses for avoiding criticism of figures like Candace Owens, mocking the notion of her as a "young mom" at 36 years old as mere deflection, and warned that such silence prioritizes "the lifespan of their digital economy more than the health of the movement on the right."

Loesch expressed hope that her words would "convict them in their hearts and minds," labeling their timidity "shameful" in 2025, when some conservatives hesitate to denounce admiration for figures like Stalin due to backlash from online "troll armies." She defended the right to distance oneself from harmful ideas as "free association," not cancellation, and scorned those who cry foul as "a bunch of sensitive snowflake sissies who should be disbarred from any other contributions to conservative discussion."

That video here.

And now, as Heritage is at the crossroads of either officially becoming Stormfront Central or just closing up shop, Kevin Roberts decides that he was misled by a junior staffer who misled him about the content of Nick Fuentes' beliefs and Tucker Carlson's warm welcome of those beliefs. That staffer has now resigned, and Roberts would like to
keep his Grifter Job Please and Thank You.

The Washington Free Beacon obtained video of a meeting today at the august conservative think tank after Roberts asked the board to address the staff. Referring to his defense of Tucker Carlson and his interview with Nick Fuentes, whose Stalinophilia blew up the final weeks of the election season. "I made a mistake," Roberts told his staff, and in the process admitted to a series of them:


"I made a mistake and I let you down and I let down this institution. Period. Full Stop," Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts told the staff of the conservative think tank on Wednesday, a week after he posted a video decrying a "venomous" coalition attacking the right-wing podcast host Tucker Carlson--and declaring the Heritage Foundation would always defend him against "the slander of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda."

Roberts said he was willing to resign but felt a "moral obligation" to repair the situation and had told the organization's board of directors: "I made the mess, let me clean it up." ...

While Roberts stated unequivocally in his original video that the Heritage Foundation would never cancel "our friends," he said Wednesday he should have made clear there was a "limiting principle."

"You can say you're not going to participate in canceling someone ... while also being clear you're not endorsing everything they've said, you're not endorsing softball interviews, you're not endorsing putting people on shows, and I should've made that clear."


One limiting principle would be to research the issue before issuing statements on behalf of the organization. Admitting that he still "didn't know much about this Fuentes guy," Roberts explained that he simply trusted his now-former chief of staff to do his thinking for him. "This is an explanation, not an excuse," Roberts told Heritage staff:


Roberts said his former chief of staff, Ryan Neuhaus, who has since resigned, wrote the script for the video and deceived him into believing colleagues had approved the message. "Our former chief of staff had the pen," he said. "When the script was presented to me ... I understood from our former colleague that it was approved, it was signed off on by the handful of colleagues who are part of that. Still my fault, I should have had the wisdom to say, 'Time out, let's double check this.'"

Bull. Shit. As I said, I have avoided the bother of looking into Nick Fuentes because he's literally nothing to me and I do not feel the need to research anyone the left claims is one of my "thought leaders." However, I have seen enough little clips of Fuentes saying "Heil Hitler" and questioning how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust (in a very cute, very clever little speech in which he refers to Jews as "cookies" and wonders how many ovens you'd need to bake six million "cookies") to know that he is not someone I should rush to defend.

Again, if you want to stay silent, stay silent. Do not rush to defend people who sure seem to be actual Nazis -- not fake Nazis as the left is always alleging, but real, bona-fide, "Heil Hitler" Jews should be "given the death penalty" Nazis) and claim you're just being a Free Speech Angel.

By the way, Ed Morrissey mentions Stalin. During Tucker's "interview" -- really his puff-piece promotion -- Fuentes avoided mentioning his open admiration of the "bad ass" and "cool" Adolf Hitler, but he did confess his admiration for Josef Stalin.

Sensing this would be a bridge too far for the audience he is bread-crumbing towards Nazism, Tucker expressed surprise and changed the subject, saying "We'll circle back to that."

But just like Jen Psaki, he never did. He didn't want to show any disagreement with Fuentes, so he just cucked out for his bull and changed the subject to something more agreeable. Like the "heresy" of "Christian Zionism" or something.

I know some people still like Tucker Carlson and so I'm not eager to get into fights with you. I will, however, not cuck myself out for Tucker Carlson like he cucked himself out to appeal to Nick Fuentes' Nazi audience. I will not lie for him, I will not minimize his evil, and I will not urge that we "united" with him so that he continue mainstreaming Nazism without anyone kicking up a fuss.

If he wants to keep having these "important discussions," then you better bet I will be right here ready to have these "Important discussions" right beside him.

14 Just briefly watch the Five. Dana Perino had a very good monologue as to what happened last night with the Republicans getting shellacked and what the Republicans need to do going forward. She explained that Republicans can stand up and yell he’s a Marxist. He’s a communist. But they need to explain to this younger generation exactly what the meaning of those terms is. She said history for these people that voted last night began possibly at 911 or probably during the financial crisis when their parents were dealing with it. And they’re not being taught what communism and Marxism is at school. She was adamant that we have to start explaining in our discussions exactly what Mandami’s philosophy is. Best monologue I’ve heard from her in a while.

Jesse Kelly, Sean Davis, Julie Kelly, others.

I largely blame Tucker for putting them in this position. He's awful. The best explanation for his self-destructive behavior is someone is paying him a ton of money.

I hear that. But you know, how close are they, really? I've spoken in real life to Tucker Carlson, too. No, I'm not friends with him, and my contact with him is light, but... I mean, how close are these other people? Do they exchange DMs with him, as I did with my best friend Jake Tapper?

I think a lot of this is just the typical conservative failing of hero-worshipping and fame-whoring.

And WE, or at least our thought leaders, FELL for it instead of just calling it out as a PAID OP!

30 Tucker Carlson has, over the past couple of years, repeatedly accused Jews of murdering Christians, platformed Nazi sympathizers who say the US entered World War Two on the wrong side, stated that there was no one on earth he hated more than "Christian Zionists"
=================
Tucker goes further, ignoring the mass slaughter of Christians by Islamists. Not surprisingly, since he is pro-Muslim Jihadists, Islamists are his big financial supporters.

31 I have to admit, I've about had enough of "Tucker did this" and "Candace said that". We have spent the last several weeks engaging in this mental masturbation while the left smoked us in several important elections. Do the socialists engage in this sort of navel gazing? Of course not. Someone on their side says or does something reprehensible, they either fight back, or completely ignore it. We now have a scumbag like Jay Jones as the chief law enforcement officer in Virginia. If he'd been a Republican, we would have forced him out of the race. These days, taking the high road doesn't get you the W's.

There's a video attached at the tweet I'm about to post--in it Fuentes says outright that he and his group intend to insert themselves into the 2028 Republican primaries and confront any Republican (Vance and Rubio are mentioned) who won't join their effort to blame the Jews for everything (barely a paraphrase--Fuentes calls it the problem with Jewry or some other odious phrase):

@Osint613
Nick Fuentes is openly outlining his plan to dismantle MAGA, yet many conservatives still refuse to take him seriously.

Reminds me of Hamas. They said exactly what they’d do. They rehearsed it September 2023. Everyone watched. Israel’s security chiefs shrugged. Then October 7 happened.

Posted by: Crusader at November 05, 2025 05:17 PM (TN0g+)

40 Can believe that the constant bleating about Israel being our ally and deserving our support, both on this site and in the GOP generally, along with statistically wild overrrepresentation of Semitic folks far beyond their actual population percentages in American media, are heinous and promote American interventions overseas, at the same time believing that Fuentes is a Nazi tool and Tucker is a closet queen?

If not, maybe you need to think about how big your tent is, because we have all spent a lot of years listening to how we needed to accommodate babykillers and "neocons" aka Trotskyites who got out. And I think being called "isolationist" when all many of us want is GeoWashington's foreign policy back is every bit as wrong as being called racist or sexist.

@realchrisrufo
The best way to understand Nick Fuentes is as an actor upon the stage of "hyperreality," promoting an empty simulation of Nazism, which is a gift to the Left and bait for the Right. Outrage drives the phenomenon; a cold, calculated response could stop it.

48 One thing that should be noted here is that "influencers" should be avoided. One can make an exception for Charlie Kirk's hours of content online because he is no longer with us, but anyone living can and likely will disappoint you at some point. Celebrity culture is toxic.

One irony about "conservatives" is that they have little knowledge or interest in the culture of the civilization they are supposedly defending, in many cases. Opera? Renaissance Art? Classic British novels? Nope. Country music and football - the hick versions of libtard pop cutlure.

51 >>>There's a video attached at the tweet I'm about to post--in it Fuentes says outright that he and his group intend to insert themselves into the 2028 Republican primaries and confront any Republican (Vance and Rubio are mentioned) who won't join their effort to blame the Jews for everything (barely a paraphrase--Fuentes calls it the problem with Jewry or some other odious phrase):

thank you. He also repeatedly said he was going to destroy TPUSA and Charlie Kirk, too. Shapiro has him repeatedly bragging that "I'm fucking your organization, Charlie, and then I'm going to fuck you."

This guy is critical to our movement? All is lost if we don't "unite" with him?

Burge made a big thing of not voting in 2020 (and 2016 obviously) and when called on it over on Instapundit's disqus, had a snotty autistic snit-fit at the commenters pointing that out.

When someone's views shift so quickly and so radically, it's not organic. There's always a process, a series of events - some bigger than others - that mark the path, and they can always explain why they changed. Reagan did this, many of the original neocons did. David Horowitz wrote a great book about it (Radical Son).

But when someone just ups with "You know, Hitler gets a bum rap!" you have to wonder. The absolute ease with which Jen Rubin, David French and Ahoy Boy Kristol have betrayed every single belief shows that they were alway poseurs and mercs. Same for Tucker.

To be fair, Dispensationalism is a heresy, and a uniquely American one.

No. It's an Irish/sorta English phenomenon. John Darby. An Englishman and a Protestant, but from a wealthy Irish family - similar to Yeats, who was another mystic who also devised a formulation for the time and tide of metaphysical history.

It seems to be a pattern for them.

It was popularized in the US by Cyrus Scofield - but it's not American, let alone uniquely so. I'll leave it to others to decide if it's a heresy, though. That's a Christian matter.

He [Robert Rector] harkened back to William F. Buckley Jr., the National Review founder. “I hope you know who he is,” Rector said. “The boundaries that he set forth, William Buckley, in the early 1960s, were twofold. You have to expunge all anti-Semitism, all of it. But that’s just part of it … the other is you have to expel the lunatics. Ok? The lunatics who think that Eisenhower is a communist. And we have them back now. Ok? They are both here, back, just the way they were in 1959. And we have to go back and set the general parameters. You say, ‘Oh, we don’t cancel.’ We do cancel. Did we cancel David Duke? Yes. Did we cancel the John Birch Society? Yes, ok. Because they were harmful. Because if they’re in your movement you look like clowns. The issue here is Tucker Carlson…Tucker’s show is like stepping into a lunatic asylum.” (emphasis added)

Three thoughts:

2) The whole "Fight on the right" is An Op that's being run by someone. Everything is fake and gay. Is Tucker on the take to promote Fuentes so that someone else can tar the entire MAGA movement with one loudmouth faggot who spews Nazi bullshit? IMO, yes.

3) Again, it's impossible to have a legit debate with people who won't tell you what their actual positions are. The "Tee hee just askin questions about all of those Crafty Jews" cowards are beneath contempt and should be treated as such.

107 [Tucker] stated that there was no one on earth he hated more than "Christian Zionists"
-
Yeah, I saw a bit of that interview. I was amused at the notion that Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager, who have to post their stuff on youtube to be seen at all, somehow control the media. Not generically as some of The Jews, but mentioned by name.

But that last bit. I liked Tucker and was pissed at Fox for dumping him. But the people he hates most in the world are Christians who take the Bible seriously (specifically who think that unresolved prophecy will eventually be resolved in a manner consistent with God's recorded character). So he hates me.

Which makes it kind of a bad idea to listen to anything further he has to say. As a practical matter, even before getting to the "I'm sorry to see him join Satan's Kingdom" consideration.

108 I have to admit I didn't know who this Fuentes guy was until maybe 2 weeks ago, not even sure why he is a popular blogger or whatever, but that said when I heard Carlson was going to interview him I thought ok at least Tucker will put this Nazi in his place and other people were mad he was even interviewing him.

My thoughts were "hey Charlie Kirk is right in let's debate these things as normal human beings". But then it appears Tucker didn't debate him at all and actually did just let him spew his idiotic ideas.

109 To be honest I wonder if any of the people mentioned on this thread are known to the average Republican voter. There is a question to be answered about what Republican foreign policy should look like now that Dick Cheney is roasting in hell, and if Israel remains a positive part of that foreign policy, then a formulation of who is an ally and who isn't needs to be readily available to help normies differentiate why Israel is an ally and why country X is not. We don't have that right now, and a lot of people Ace praises here are at fault for that. I have zero interest in Fuentes' gay cosplay as a conservative, nor in defending his views, but decades of gatekeeping on behalf of "our greatest ally Israel" are rebounding on us, because the pro-Israel crowd just tried to shame anyone who would dare question Israel. If reasonable conversations can't be had, then unreasonable conversations will happen instead.

And I don't mean the "I hate the vagina" super gay end like the Tate brothers. I mean the goose-stepping leather chaps wearing gay end. It's kind of a spectrum really.

My thoughts were "hey Charlie Kirk is right in let's debate these things as normal human beings". But then it appears Tucker didn't debate him at all and actually did just let him spew his idiotic ideas.

Shame on Tucker. I stopped watching him a long time ago with his the UFO aliens are controlling us and we are doomed.

yup, agreed. As I said, *I* didn't seek this fight. I've never mentioned this mincing faggot before (well, maybe once or twice).

As for not knowing who he was: I think that's respectable enough. I don't like when the left points to a nobody and says "YOU MUST DENOUNCE HIM!" They're assigning us gruntwork homework - I have to RESEARCH this oxygen thief and then come to a conclusion about him? He's a nobody -- how about I just ignore him like I igore 8 billion other nobodies on earth?

129 The problem with Carlson is that he is a fucking idiot. I used to watch him and I looked forward to his interview of Putin. But that all changed as I watched the “interview” if you can even call it that. Maybe you can call something an interview if you just let the guest talk the whole time. Putin even mocked Carlson after, saying he expected TC to be much tougher on him.

Then the visit to the grocery store. (I paraphrase) “Wow! If I bought this stuff in DC, I’d pay $400! But here, in Mother Russia, I paid $100! Wowser!”

Get a FUCKING clue, ole Tuckster man. Buy (and read) a book on basic economics. Russians make 1/4 of what we make and many times less.

Back to the point, I don't think we need to hyper scrutinize people on our side when morality is completely gone on the Left. But it ain't 'hyper scrutinizing' to say Nick Fuentes needs to be ostracized from the Right. This guy is way out of the ballpark of civility and accepting him is basically saying we have no more morality than the Left, we just want to "win". And yeah, we want to take the gloves off and "win", but we want to "win" a moral, civil society. This guy is completely antithetical to that, and absent that, what the hell are we fighting for?

Anyone overly offended/surprised/ shocked by this has never had an honest conversation with a Gen Z kid. Exactly how they talk, and then go hang out with their Benetton ad group of friends, and likely say it to their Indian friends, who use it too.

They have been awash in propaganda their whole life, and they are strongly rejecting it. Unless you want to alienate a vast swath of those voters who did vote R in 24, you need to reevaluate how much of a "true conservative" hero you want to require as a litmus test.

If Tucker wanted to talk about geopolitics in the 1930s, there is a way to do that. The truth is the world was short on angels and had a surplus of devils. What if the Reds won in Spain? What if France was now facing a Soviet-backed takeover? Would the UK have allied with Italy and Germany to stop it? Remember, by 1937, Stalin had killed millions but Krystallnacht hadn't happened yet.

But one can't soft-pedal the Third Reich's later crimes - or Hitler's publicly made strategic goals, nor ignore his repeated lies and betrayals in terms of agreements.

another nazi faggot. He is always "trolling" about the Holocaust and he was found to have accounts with the password "KRISTALNACHT" but his excuse is, I'm just funning around, pretending to be a Nazi, I'm just makin' jokes about being a Nazi to upset the libs.

Really? People just pretend to be Nazis who are not actually Nazis?

As I think Sean Connery said in The Untouchables, saying that someone who calls himself a Treasury Agent must actually be a Treasury Agent: "Who would claim to be that, who was not?"

It's blown all out of proportion. All of these guys are trying to carve out their niche.

The Right always has factional infighting, bigly. It's part of the deal. Little cum-chugging social media fatties and mental patients like Fuentes and Owens should draw fire, but they're getting more than they earn.

It's not like they're the actual, establishment GOP faction that remains in control of the Right and also in a death struggle against MAGA. They're nothing by comparison.

But the squabble is nice and convenient for them, isn't it?

190 My problem is although I want Israel to kick the hamas horde back to hell that they came from, I really don’t care much beyond that.

The Bay Area is filled with Indians who are racial nepotist and I watched tons of great hs students recently who can’t get into engineering programs because they are taking foreigners for half the classes at full freight. And then “American kids are too dumb to do these jobs”. That’s what I care about.

And assholes like Shapiro will lump people like me in with Tucker and Fuentes. “ No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit.” Meaning don’t question how we are importing the third world. I never hear Shapiro talk about kids being denied education.

So I feel like Americans priorities are behind Israel. If they do great I’m fine with that. But I don’t want to see another American kid die in that pit in the Middle East.

I am starting to think this Fuentes guy is an op by the left. He is a caricature of how the left describes us.

If all Fuentes said is “I oppose Fumo g Israel” you’d have a point t. Except that’s not what he says. He leads chants of Fuck the Jews. He says the holocaust was no biggie and come on Jews get over it already. He tells Jews to get the fuck out of his country.

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

He does do those Israel trips. Advertises for them on his show. And yeah, I wouldn't say there's no grift there, but he's a history buff and obviously paying homage to religious heritage there, and seems fully respectful of 'Judeo-Christian' values... Guess I just hope the point that he and Matt Walsh (and Megyn Kelly?) are doing this out of legacy loyalty to Tucker is valid, and hopefully they'll realize they are frogs in his pot too and wake the hell up.

Feel free to subject all religious and ethnic groups to the same analysis:

Have the Irish been a net positive or net negative in American politics? Have the Koreans been a net negative or a net positive? Have the Jews?

The fact is that Jews, at the population level, have been on the wrong side of every major issue in the past century. The best way to know how to vote correctly is to find out what the median Jewish voter is doing, then do the opposite.

280 "I think a lot of this is just the typical conservative failing of hero-worshipping and fame-whoring." Posted by: ace

So many that turned online for their income (and fame) are devoted to hits/views, and hence all controversial topics must be embraced, and sensationalized to the N'th degree. They do not have a moral base (based?), but are just chasing views ... and will take those views from anyone.

Hopefully Ace is Based and Centered. So the Center will hold? heh ...

The Jewish Question? Well Jews in the USA do have an outsized influence, that can't be denied. But most that exercise that influence have used their power of "victimhood" yet are not really faithful Jews. Hollywood, Banking, government ... they are more than 2%, but few of them are really "Jews" (of the real 12 tribes, and faithful to that doctrine?).

If they do not abide in their faith, they are no more "Jewish" than the Pharisees who were (correctly) called "of their father the Devil, and the works of your father you will do". (as JC admonished).

But besides the power of sticking together, "Jews" are generally raised in ore discipline, with more respect for education. (unlike our education system)

I used to watch Candace Owens until her mouth got bigger than her brain. She married to a wealthy man with whom she has four children iirc. For their sake, if not her own, she needs to spend more time with her family.

292 I've looked into Nick Fuentes who, like Ernst Roehm before him, prefers the company of handsome young men and thoroughly enjoys spending his evenings alone, watching trans porn and thinking deep thoughts and dreaming big dreams of Aryan conquest, etc., etc. even though Fuentes himself is of Hispanic descent.

Fuentes also called for conservatives to 'storm the ramparts' on J6, which was at least equivalent to the crimes supposedly committed by the Proud Boys leader who got hammered with a 20+ year prison sentence. I think the feds left Fuentes alone so Dem pundits and politicians could point to him as evidence of the far-Right threat they kept warning us about.

It goes on and on. Neo-Nazis are like trannies who latched onto the LGB movement to gain mainstream acceptance and a measure of respectability. They will do the same to the conservative movement if we let them. We can't let them.

He probably doesn't have one, but this does beg the question of why we don't have better criteria for determining a genuine Jew from what JJ would call a "self-gassing" one. It's not hard to differentiate Jasmine Crockett or Candace Owens from Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell. Dennis Prager once wrote a column on the weird secular messianic impulse among otherwise secular/reform Jews. But not enough is written about how a normie tells a Jewish person from a Borg drone who has a Jewish background. We even have things like the nose ring test for women now.

I think if normal people on the right would talk about the phenomenon of (usually secular Jews) advancing horrible leftist causes, and how these causes violate all manner of aspects of Jewish religion and self-interest, there'd be less of a problem here. All we have now if you don't like Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro scolding you is the crypto-Nazis

324 This is Willow territory, so I probably won't get an answer, but ... I guess I've lived a pretty insulated life. What is it about Jews that Fuentes and others dislike? What specific qualities do they possess that make them so deserving of hatred?


Same shot as always.

Power, control, clannishness, $$$.

But mostly from the boys on the right that they notice that so many bad players are jews. From Soros to Shapiro to Sanders to Hollywood, etc.

It's stupid but it's just a more stupid view of the question of why jews vote so far left and why should we help them overseas?

Everyone wonders why jews as a group, not orthodox, side with the far left, to their own detriment, but they're taking it too far.

So which extreme Fuentes doctrine/position did Tucker actually "endorse"?

>>>>even though Fuentes himself is of Hispanic descent.

Lol, thats a meaningless term, racially. He's of Indio-Spanish decent, a mestizo, and accordingly would be rounded up eventually himself, not to mention the homo part. He's a shit-take provocateur, like Milo

326 >>>ace's hero, Lil' Ben, was openly anti-Trump in 2016 , as was his pal Mark Levin, as was.....ace, himself.

I supported Trump in 2016. I supported him as my number two in the primary, then when he seemed like a blowhard who couldn't win, I supported Cruz over him (while still maintaining that the nominee had to really be for sealing the borders).

When Trump won the primary -- before he won it, actually -- I supported him again, this time for president.

I had to tell the anti-trump cobloggers to stop attacking Trump once it was clear he would be the nominee. I never supported any Democrat over Trump -- unlike your hero Nick Fuentes.

Have you listened to him? He has had the same schitick for the years he has been on scene. No variation, with the possibility of doubling down. We can chart Candace’s changing views with the grift, that isn’t true here. Also, while Milo is not on our list of Israel supporters, and we can certainly question his dedication to his Catholic faith (really, Milo?), he is absolutely not a fan of Fuentes. In fact, I found myself agreeing with Milo on this more than once and got very scared. And I needed Lysol, stat.

---------------------
Fuentes is just an act, I think, but the Whatifalthist channel on YouTube gave the best non-antisemitic answer.

Secular Jews dispense with the religion but retain the messianic and utopian worldview. They just try to achieve it on their own and not through the Almighty. And so they are attracted like bugs to a light by Marxism, the climate cult, 'anti-racism' and so on. This is obvious to most people on the right (like blacks committing more crime), but if you notice it, you get yelled at. So "nooticing" becomes something one does on 4chan. Instead of talking about things properly, people hang out in weird places listening to weird people, because the normies can't tolerate them noticing patterns.

Economy Unexpectedly Adds Solid 40,000 Private Sector Jobs in October

If that number sounds a bit low, that's because we usually talk about quarterly jobs figures, while this is the number for a single month.

It's not stellar, but it's solid, and it's many more than the "expert consensus" predicted.

The United States job market did better than expected in October in terms of job growth, with over 40,000 new private sector jobs.

...

It is important that these jobs were in the private sector, a marked contrast to the Biden administration's job market, when all the touted "job gains" were either in the federal government or going to immigrants.

In contrast, as of July, under the Trump administration, employment of American-born workers had reached a record high while jobs for foreigners declined. While legal immigrants can strengthen our economy, the decline in employment of U.S.-born men -- particularly blue collar workers -- was a serious Biden administration crisis which the Trump administration has corrected, partly by discouraging employment of illegal aliens.

Remember, the government is shut down which is causing economic disruption and decline. So 42,000 private sector jobs is a win.

The collapse of institutions and the collapse of the civic culture that created the mass illegal migration crisis is deep-rooted, won't be materially improved in 4 years, and massive, massive removal of *non-"criminal"* illegals is required to at least give the country a buffer against its voters.

41 "It's not stellar, but it's solid, and it's many more than the 'expert consensus' predicted"

It's pretty stellar, Ace. Not the greatest ever, but better IMO than just "solid." As you pointed out, this is just private sector jobs over a single month.

But it was a month of federal dysfunction and shutdown, coming off a few months of sluggish job growth, and in a run-up to several important elections.

Put simply, there were hurricane-level headwinds coming for this report. 42k privates under those circumstances is very good.

Here's a white pill for everyone. My liberal college town had an acute attack of common sense yesterday. There were six candidates for two city council seats, and the big winner by far was the former school resource officer (cop-in-residence) who utterly crushed it. Everyone loved him, and when my kids saw he was running, they were thrilled.

His position was eliminated by the school board because George Floyd overdosed, and someone had to suffer, so why not the guy whose personal presence seemed to just end conflict (not scary, just very calming). The person who fired him - the school board president - was a white lesbian who likes to adopt black boys so that she becomes a double minority, fretting about all the racism her "black sons" face. She also ran for city council - and finished dead last.

It makes me laugh....bitterly that-

After 9/11 that we, for the last 20 or so years, have been importing islamic barbarians from the middle east, so that-

we, in fact, do have to fight them over here.

I'd like to think otherwise, but how is this going to end except through some kind of military action?

Will muslims suddenly and magically reject their religion and become good American citizens(citizens of the West?)? will they suddenly decide to go back to the poverty-stricken hellholes that are their homes. I think not.

Also, these are ADP numbers, since the government shutdown means the official ones, normally delivered on the first Friday of each month with data for the previous month, aren't being released (neither for September nor for October yet).

In any case, rather than number of jobs gained or lost, these metrics should be considered relative to population size.

Of course, it all began with O&Joe's ACA - which never was. Now they want "affordable" homes, vehicles, education, healthcare and more, and money to burn on vacations, etc. - otherwise known as living wages - tailored to fit.

Here's how R's helped reinforce those "wants" -
Facebook, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene
June 17

Americans want cheap gas, groceries, bills, and housing.
They want affordable insurance, safe communities, and good education for their children.
They want a government that works on these issues.
Considering Americans pay for the entire government and government salaries with their hard earned tax dollars, this is where our focus should be.

79 And ADP has been notoriously unreliable. Without BLS reporting the country is running blind. The Fed thinks it’s appropriate to be cutting rates. They know that the job market is dismal.

42,000 is abysmally low and if it's not distributed across the economy especially in middle income brackets, it basically makes no difference.

This report basically shows what the others have. No mass layoffs yet, no mass hiring yet, manufacturing and white collar recession is continuing at a grinding pace...it does appear the labor market is continuing to soften, and IMO hiring mostly being conentrated in healthcare is concerning as it's indicative of soft demand everywhere

The “k-shaped economy” is what people call the state of the economy. Essentially, it means that the richest Americans are spending more and more, while poorer Americans are spending less and less. Since the top 10 percent account for half of consumer spending, consumer spending, and thus GDP, keeps going up, even as life becomes less affordable for the other 90 percent.

Meanwhile what do we got 1 million plus public sector job losses? 42k isn't even enough to make up for population growth.

81 Blonde Morticia, you can see the ADP report on the ADP website:

https://tinyurl.com/43j8ykuk

it breaks it down pretty fine, but the quick answer is

Private employers added 42,000 jobs in October
Last month delivered a rebound from two months of weak hiring, but the bounce wasn't broad-based. Education and health care, and trade, transportation, and utilities led the growth. For the third straight month, employers shed jobs in professional business services, information, and leisure and hospitality.

Change in U.S. Private Employment: 42,000

Change by Industry

Goods-producing: 9,000

Natural resources/mining 7,000

Trade/transportation/utilities 47,000


With the North East being the net looser region, and the losing industries being Information, Manufacturing, Business services, Hospitality and Other

86 In contrast, as of July, under the Trump administration, employment of American-born workers had reached a record high while jobs for foreigners declined. While legal immigrants can strengthen our economy, the decline in employment of U.S.-born men — particularly blue collar workers — was a serious Biden administration crisis which the Trump administration has corrected
=================
Lets not forget that a million illegals are gone from the workforce, normally reported by the press as "a decline in employed workers", and so the headline number Ace reported masks an enormous shift of employed Americans into jobs formerly held by illegals.

I agree but a 42,000 private sector job gain while a whole bunch of big companies are conducting massive layoffs due to AI coming on line is still a positive gain. Depending on who is doing the reporting the tech sector alone has lost over 80,000 positions since summer due to AI. And that number is increasing every month.

100 What is normal added jobs for a country...decreasing in population?

150,000 was the number to reach because it was to match population increases through the 90s and 00s.

What about a country that's going to see actual decreases?

Shouldn't the average be...negative?

40,000 positive jobs, assuming it holds, is actually outright great.

Speaker Johnson should have pushed the necessary budget bills through the House in the last month, along with a handful of others that help free the country. When the Senate temporarily spikes the filibuster/60 vote requirement, they vote on the full budget - with a provision preventing a CR in each bill - and really make it worthwhile.

They did but only for new visas not renewals. It’s a 1 time $100k fee for a 6 year visa, renewed after 3 years. So $16.6k a year. It’s something but not really much. If the decision is pay an American $150k or an Indian $65k a year that $100k spread over 6 years isn’t going to change who gets hired.

I expect them to punt and remand it back to a lower court to differentiate between tariffs the POTUS has the authority to apply for National Security & Foreign Policy reasons versus those considered merely taxes that usurp the authority of The Legislature.

He hasn't lost yet. Ranked choice voting law says another round of voting, because the incumbent only got 42%. The Skinny might get emplaced after all.

===========================

Ranked-choice voting means that further calculations need to be made, as candidates are eliminated, until someone reaches a majority of the vote. It does not require further rounds of voting, since voters already ranked the candidates.

Reuters: "French Man" Shouting "Allahu Akbar" Rams His Car Into Some Other French Men Peacefully Riding Bicycles

"French man," why are you so consumed with hate and thirst for murdering other French men?

(And women -- a 22-year-old woman is in intensive care, as is a 69-year-old man.)

They're your fellow countrymen.

Right?

Right, "French Man"?

Driver rams into pedestrians in western France, five injured

There's another descriptor for this "French man." Apparently he's a "driver."

No additional facts needed nor wanted!

SAINT-PIERRE-D'OLERON, France, Nov 5 (Reuters) - A French man rammed his car into pedestrians and cyclists on Oleron island off France's Atlantic coast on Wednesday, injuring five people and shouting "Allahu Akbar" when arrested by police, officials said.

I wonder if that tips the authorities to the motive of "French Man"/"Driver."


Officials including Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the motive for the attack on a quiet island popular with summer tourists remained unknown, adding that the suspect was not on a watchlist of radicalised individuals.

Motive unknown! Perfect. May it always be unknown. We cannot risk backlash against Muslims, even if that means consenting to the murders of tens of thousands of non-Muslims.

"This morning, starting at 8:40, an individual driving his vehicle went on a journey during which he deliberately hit several people who were in his path, either on bicycles or on foot," Nunez told reporters on the island.

"Five people were hit during his journey, which lasted about 35 minutes." The suspect's car struck pedestrians and cyclists in various areas of the island, officials said.

It was a journey of self-actualization for this Austere Religious Scholar.

Nunez confirmed media reports that the suspect shouted "Allahu Akbar" (Arabic for "God is Greatest") when arrested, but said that was only one element in a broader investigation.

Just one single element. Probably means nothing. Just something one says, you know. Like "Gesundheit."


Two of the victims were seriously injured, including the parliamentary assistant of a far-right National Rally lawmaker, Nunez said.

Probably deserved it.

Note that the National Rally is identified as "far right" while the "French Man" is identified as "Driver."

...
Nunez said the anti-terrorism prosecutor's office was not in charge of the inquiry at this stage...

Why would it be. Why would it be.

Say one little Seig Heil at a rally perhaps becoming national news?
How about Mazel tov whilst beating a pro-pali demonstrator? Wouldn't that be proof enough through the magic of extrapolation that all jews are X, leading to pleas that all jews are not X and denounciations of the utterer?

But apparently Aloha snackbar gets a universal pass for ever and ever. I guess confronting the truth would lead to other uncomfortable truths, and perhaps even some long overdue backlash.

Peaceful muslims and peaceful Weather Underground types getting together to peacefully protest The Man Keeping Them Down.

This just could be the alliance of the 21st Century. The Socialists will never learn not to trust the Jihadis (Iran, anyone?) but the jihadis will always know the socialists are useful idiots.

So if you're a police spokesman in Europe, part of your job is denying that there is any identifiable motive tor a crime, when it's self-evident that there is.

Kind of like how the CDC functions during crises like the ebola thing in 2014. The only concern was preventing 'public panic,' nothing about actually containing the disease. No countries quarantined, because that would hurt people's feelings. No accurate information released, because that could lead to panic.

135 A Democrat state legislator who previously claimed to be an illegal migrant won a mayoral election.

Democratic State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her prevailed in an upset Tuesday night in the St. Paul mayoral election, defeating incumbent Democrat Mayor Melvin Carter after second-choice votes. The city uses ranked-choice voting in local elections.

She is the first woman and Hmong elected in the city’s history.

Back in June, Vang Her claimed she was an illegal alien on the Minnesota House floor.

“My father, as the one processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother, and so I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Democrat state Rep. Kaohly Vang Her said.

This just could be the alliance of the 21st Century. The Socialists will never learn not to trust the Jihadis (Iran, anyone?) but the jihadis will always know the socialists are useful idiots.

My husband is 4th generation with Eastern European Catholic ancestors. Who came here from Ireland, Germany, Poland and Lithuania to have a better life.

They settled in Queens. His grandfather rode horseback as a policeman on Rockaway Beach. His cousins were in the NYPD and NYFD on 9/11.

I am sure his ancestors are rolling in their graves today. When you have about 50 first cousins and they all or most are still there or NJ, I feel badly for them...unless they voted for Mamadamn...I refuse to learn his name, hear him speak, or pay attention to his socialism and jihad ways.

163 156 Is there going to be pride month and ghey parades this June in NYC?

If not, some may wake up...or not! It might take being thrown en masse off the Empire State Building? After the herding at the parade.

Will 9/11/01 even be remembered on the 25th anniversary?

My husband is 4th generation with Eastern European Catholic ancestors. Who came here from Ireland, Germany, Poland and Lithuania to have a better life.

They settled in Queens. His grandfather rode horseback as a policeman on Rockaway Beach. His cousins were in the NYPD and NYFD on 9/11.

I am sure his ancestors are rolling in their graves today. When you have about 50 first cousins and they all or most are still there or NJ, I feel badly for them...unless they voted for Mamadamn...I refuse to learn his name, hear him speak, or pay attention to his socialism and jihad ways.

190 The revenue stream that NYC drinks from is shrinking. A majority of it, like NY State in general, is paid by a small group of people and institutions. It’s not just talk that people will leave, they already are. Home prices in Connecticut and upstate are jumping. As of yesterday inquires have skyrocketed.

A lot of the top income tax payers have so far held their ground. That’s because they’re libs and mobile, so the can claim NYC as their home and jet off to other properties. But that said, it’s going to take one of those individuals to move out of state to truly put a knife in their budget. It already happened in neighboring NJ, where btw the next few years will be interesting. The number one issue there was property taxes, and people voted for the person least likely to lower them. That’s because a lot of those voters are not property owners, and the ones who are, are idiots.

In neighboring NJ there was one hedge fund dude who left and went to Florida. The legislature had to call special meeting because his revenue loss put such a big hole in the budget.

Major corporations are having trouble attracting talent into NYC. Almost Nobody wants to work there or live in the state. Plus the cost for these companies to operate and staff is ridiculous. That’s why companies like GS have largely gone to Richardson and Salt Lake. JP Morgan now has huge ops in Dallas, etc. it’s only a matter of time.

You can bet the hourly cost of competent maintenance is always going up in New York.

So, if NYC doesn't allow the compensation for owners to go up, you're talking about less maintenance.

Owners who can see the better profitability of owning rental property in another city or state, will likely begin selling to slum lords.

Only a fraction of NYC apartments are rent-controlled. The 50% figure is rent-stabilized, which is a different animal. It's less restrictive but still restrictive depending on certain factors. But still LL get rich. With rent-stabilized, the rent is lower but so is the cost to the LLC. LL spend nothing on RS apartments, and don't give a shit about the tenants, unless they want to try to de-regulate them.

2. This may get the Rs to wake up and fix the voting systems while they still have a chance. Or get serious about foreign money, NGOs, social media manipulation, etc.

3. We have had a one month shutdown and it has not really harmed the GOP. It did motivate dem gov. employee grifters to work the election, but none of that can be repeated every year so this is a positive. Maybe next budget battle will be over voter ID, eliminating mail-in, etc. and Trump now understands that this is necessary for the country's survival.

303 Reuters article, in part "The man was previously known to police for petty crime including driving while drunk, as well as drug-related offences, officials said.

"The 35-year-old man, of French citizenship, who lives on Oleron island, was known for common law offences and was not known by security services," junior minister Marie-Pierre Vedrenne told parliament.

Being downplayed, of course. This poor, mad fisherman drove into people for 35 minutes and then set his vehicle on fire.

Isn't drinking and/or drug use contrary to the religion of peace?

BTW, France is not known for common law offenses because its legal system is based on civil law, which is different from the common law systems of the United States and Britain.
Instead of relying on precedent, French courts apply written codes and regulations to cases, and the criminal offenses are divided into categories based on severity: crimes (most serious), délicts (intermediate), and contraventions (minor offenses).

Examples of "common offenses" in France include traffic violations such as speeding and drunk driving, as well as crimes like theft and assault.

Bombdaddy won by less than 200k votes out of 2M cast. 2M in a city of over 8M! There's no way there wasn't another 200k votes out there to get. But everyone stayed home. Same in NJ and VA.

we, in fact, do have to fight them over here.

I'd like to think otherwise, but how is this going to end except through some kind of military action?

Will muslims suddenly and magically reject their religion and become good American citizens(citizens of the West?)? will they suddenly decide to go back to the poverty-stricken hellholes that are their homes. I think not.

One of Biden's Inner Circle Had Four Million Reasons To Cover Up Biden's Galloping Dementia: A $4 Million Bonus if Biden Were Re-Elected

This is from last week, but I only saw it Friday night.

Mike Donnilon was one of the five people gatekeeping access to Biden, and hiding Biden in the basement, and running the government as Sundown enjoyed his 19 hours a day of "naps."

He had reasons beyond mere partisanship to hide Biden from the world (and hide the world from Biden).

His contract would award him $4 million if he successfully covered up Biden's dementia and defrauded the country into "re"-electing Biden.


A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden admitted that he stood to gain up to $8 million if the Democratic leader won re-election in 2024, newly released video shows.

Michael Donilon served as senior advisor to the president for the entirety of Biden's four-year term. Their relationship goes back decades, however. Donilon first worked for Biden in 1981 when he was a U.S. senator from Delaware.

...

Donilon was then asked whether there were any circumstances under which he would have received a bonus, to which he acknowledged there was.

"What were those circumstances?" House Oversight Committee staff asked.
Mike Donilon walks to Marine One

Donilon said, "That Joe Biden would have been re-elected president of the United States."

That sum would have been $4 million, Donilon acknowledged, in addition to the $4 million he was already paid.

He defended it as "fair agreement" when asked if he believed it was a significant sum of money.

Donilon was then asked, "Do you think that the prospect of a significant payday, say $4 million, could impact someone's judgment in general?"

"Well, I think under the circumstances you're discussing, the incentive was to keep the president in the race. I, at the end, gave him the judgment that he should withdraw," Donilon responded.


"At the end." When the Democrat Party and Democrat-Antifa-Media Party all demanded Biden withdraw, he means.


The House Oversight Committee released video of Donilon's interview and others on the heels of its final report into Biden's autopen use.

The GOP-led report accused Biden's inner circle of actively conspiring to keep signs of diminishing mental acuity from the American public up until when he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race.


House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., heaped doubt on whether Biden actually signed off on all of his executive actions when the autopen was used -- in particular, the thousands of clemency orders he authorized during his term.

Comer said Biden's autopen-authorized actions should be considered "void" and called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review the matter.

Hopefully this is a palate-cleanser after the bitter meal we've been forced to consume.

And the people that are upset about this in NYC want to bring in an unlimited number of immigrants.

One of the most amazing changes in the last few years is people voting for policies that directly negatively impact them and that they claim are important.

There's an expectation that he will do the rent freeze thing on Day One.

Important: He actually repeated EVERY one of his pie-in-the-sky promises last night in his acceptance speech, to wild applause. No "If we can do this" or "We will take the first steps to doing this" or any discrete not-mentioning things he promised in his campaign. His violence-prone supporters have high expectations.

If he acts on rent freezing on Day One, I bet they'll expect everything else on Day Two.

He claimed $10k. I disagreed. For most people getting $10K tax free would be great but....not life changing.

I think you go need a bigger number, I argued around $100k Enough for most people to put down a downpayment on a house

But I guess it does depend on where you are financially. If you have 10K in credit card debt paying it off would improve your life significant. If you are Elon you might use a $10k in bills as a door stop...

63 >> put farmers before corporations [??]

Farmers are getting absolutely wrecked. One of Massie’s things is a bill that will allow smaller slaughterhouses that are not USDA inspected, but only state inspected to sell directly to consumers.

The meat cartel is raking in money off of high beef prices while squeezing ranchers. There’s little competition because independent slaughterhouses can’t afford the USDA regime.

Then they're stupid. Iran has been calling for the destruction of the US for decades. We are the Great Satan, Israel is only Satan Jr.

The bombing mission Trump ordered has been in the arsenal for decades. It wasn't created for Israel. It was created to stop the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism that has been hitting the US and our interests for years. They killed and maimed thousands of US military in Iraq, shelter terrorists, fund terrorist groups around the world including in Venezuela.

Just because our interests align with Israel on certain issues does not mean we are being led around be evil Jews. It's just ignorant antisemitism looking for an excuse.

Bondi, Dhillon, and Patel have been hitting visa abuses hard and explaining why these abuses are dangerous.
Dhillon's one misstep is in relaying the Sikh community's concerns as stated, instead of saying "although we hear your concerns, the Sikhs should be more concerned with bad actors and illegals in their own ranks".

The leftwing barf-bag of underage sex and gay perversion known as Teen Vogue is dead. The actual print magazine was axed years ago, but now the publisher is shitcanning the online thing too.

Even better: The usual suspects are mad butthurt that Teen Vogue is laying off minority and transgender "staffers." Learn to suck, homos!

So very very sad!

What morons! In America handouts are exclusively for women, minorities, and guys named Zohran who just got here 15 minutes ago!

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps! Ignore the fact that we’ve imported tens of millions of left-wing foreigners over the last six decades. Ignore the fact that non-whites and women get preference and priority for every scholarship or white collar job!

Get out there and work a trade! Take a back-breaking blue collar job while millions of foreigners fill up our colleges.

Don’t dream of a white collar job, that’s reserved for Vivek and his 16 cousins.

And make sure you work 60 hours a week in your shitty, dead-end blue collar job so you can compete with Juan!

150 Massie, Tucker and MTG also get riled up about Aipac . As if Israel is the only country that lobbies the government.

I agree, we should not have foreign governments lobbying politics. But their only issue is aipac not the 1000 other groups lobbying on behalf of every other country on the planet. They pretend Israel is the only one that does it.

What rarely gets reported by those who hate Israel is what we get for that aid. Aside from valuable intel on the region and various terror groups the US gets access to technology like the Iron Dome, cyber security, medical discoveries and more.

And the vast majority of the aid gets sent right back to the US for military hardware.

But that doesn't sound as good as we are just giving money to Israel because they own our politicians.

You can have agency and still think (correctly) that you're getting fucked. And straight white men (and to a lesser extent, straight black American men) are. The cards are being dealt to them from under the deck.

That being said, a good portion of their frustration is their own doing. Almost all the 20- and 30-somethings I know aren't planning for their future like older generations did. They're not saving. They're spending, on frivolities.

How about the war including the dismantling of at least 80 percent of the Federal government? When DOGE was (rightfully) getting a ton of press, Trump opined that were there work to continue to its logical conclusion we might be able to do away with the Federal income tax all together (the remaining fed programs would run off tariff income).

What would it look like if men and women of all ages were able to keep an additional 20-30 percent of their income, and the companies that employed them got to keep more of their money as well? Would more be willing to start (and keep) families? What would "consumer optimism" ratings look like?

Fuck him in particular. I'm not a fan of Tucker anymore, but it's particularly galling to me that Levin has taken to calling him "Qatarlson" implying that he's on the take from Qatar, which he very well might be, but if Mark Levin has never taken money from Israel or Israel-aligned organizations, I'll eat several hats. It's rank hypocrisy.

It's indicative of the Democrat party. The Party, itself, consists of "one trick ponies" because it's made up of single issue cliches. When their chosen issue comes up they expect the rest of the cliches to join the fray and vote in mass (even if that issue contradicts their own beliefs such as Gays/Muslims). As a result, they seldom view the whole picture, or the repercussions and consequences that could (and usually do) result.

That's why there is such a dynamic hate generated for Trump and the Right. It's the only way to keep such a vast collection of single issue voters on the same page and in union.

However, politics (at least in the US) is cyclical.

To understand Fuentes, you have to understand Internet culture. He’s a troll. He’s not a serious thinker, but trolls can make people laugh.

Trolls, like the jesters of old, can also voice uncomfortable truths that are otherwise unspeakable.

Fuentes also taps into legitimate grievances. The truck is to separate him from those who share his grievances while pointing out what a gay little fool he is. Charlie Kirk was doing that. Matt Walsh still does.

As for the left, embracing their radicals was actually a brilliant move. They can now win as open communists. It’s tough to counter that.

296 We're also in a strange economic position where luxuries are cheap and necessities are expensive as hell.

Hard to blame someone for putting a $300 HDTV in their one-bedroom apartment where the rent is $1500 a month just to have some kind of comfort and entertainment.

Also, when you're paying rents like that, saving for a 20% down payment on a $500,000 one-bedroom condo seems both out of reach and also pointless. Let alone buying a nice single-family home somewhere. It used to be that if you were willing to suck up a 45+ minute commute to the city, you could live in a nice neighborhood where your kids were safe and you could afford the mortgage. Good luck with any of that these days.

I recently quit all nicotine (about 3 months.)

I quit smoking real cigarettes, but had been raping since 2011.

It was far easier than quitting syright smoking cold turkey was.

But an oddity was when cravings hit, it is not for vaping. It is for a straight up full flavor camel wide. Which seems odd to me since I have not had one of those in overv14 years now.

299 Older generations also saw light at the end of the tunnel. My and younger generations don’t really see it, I’m not saying you’re wrong about saving either, there’s just so little to look forward to in reality.

TBH, a lot of this sounds like people who say "now is not a good time to have kids". You can always talk yourself out of something, but in the end, you'll then end up with nothing.

Some boomers did something similar in saying the threat of nuclear war and environmental destruction prevented them from having kids, but that always sounded to me like an excuse more than a reason.

I'm not saying you're making excuses, but I also think sometimes you just have to get on the merry go round, scary or not.

Doing the math, my first house in 1988 was $155,000. Thats Around $410,000 -$420,000 in todays money. I sold it for $382,000 a few years ago. The young couple I sold it to is roughly in the same boat I was when I bought it, or actually a ahead of the game since the house was waaaaay more nicer than when they got it. So comparing money to money it roughly cost them what it cost me. So yeah, it could be done. BUT, the cost of everything else went stupid. My property taxes in 1988 were $2400, thats 6-7K in today's money, but the property taxes when I sold it were $9700, so that alone was 3k out of whack. It is rougher today, no doubt. Doable, but harder than when I did it.

By Electing Child-Murder Fantasist and Cop-Murder Enthusiast Jay Jones, Democrats Have Chosen Violence

At some point, they will succeed in convincing us that the path to political victory runs through rivers of blood, and won't that be fun.


Virginia voters just handed the state's top law enforcement job to a man who fantasizes about shooting Republicans in the head. Democrat Jay Jones, a former state delegate with a history of unhinged remarks, narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Jason Miyares on Tuesday, winning 51.6% of the vote with 80% of precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press. His victory marks a stunning comeback for a candidate who spent the final stretch of the campaign explaining away violent threats and a sketchy community service arrangement tied to a reckless driving case.

Jones's troubles began when 2022 text messages surfaced in which he told then--Republican colleague Carrie Coyner he'd give former House Speaker Todd Gilbert "two bullets to the head" and "piss on his grave." Coyner also recalled Jones remarking in 2020 that "the deaths of a few police officers could save other lives."

Just two days before those texts leaked, court records revealed that Jones had satisfied a reckless driving sentence -- after being caught going 116 mph in a 70 -- by logging half of his required 1,000 hours of community service with his own political action committee, Meet Our Moment. Prosecutors later appointed a special investigator to look into whether Jones misrepresented those hours. The deal spared him jail time and left him with only a $1,500 fine.

Miyares, whose mother escaped communist Cuba and who made history in 2021 as Virginia's first Hispanic attorney general, ran on law and order. But Democrats rallied around Jones despite the violent rhetoric and ethics questions, proving once again that partisan loyalty trumps basic decency.

David Strom lashes left-wing AWFLs -- nasty, vile women who pretend to be the nation's Moral Vanguard but who are in fact simply brutish, whorish enforcers of the Party line -- for their hypocrisy in whining about Trump's grab-'em-by-the-pussy locker-room braggadocio while electing a man who wants his political opponents' children shot dead.

I hope you are proud of yourselves. You sure "owned" Donald Trump and MAGA.

Yep. We hear all the time about decency being on the ballot and how "grab 'em by the pussy" was totally disqualifying. Trump is mean. He doesn't conform to the country's norms.


Women, in particular, are all about decency, norms, and kindness I am told, and the vote totals clearly show that. [Sarcasm. See exit polls below. -- ace]

I don't know what to say anymore to you guys, except that I don't recognize the country I grew up in. Virginia Democrats elected a governor who encouraged people to embrace their rage and gave the nod to a man who said that he would put two bullets in the head of one of his colleagues and be happy to see his children die in their mother's arms.

Only 46% of Virginia voters thought that was disqualifying, and as far as I can tell, every single one of them was a Republican.

BTW, I did something yesterday that I'm not sure was the right thing. About midday, I saw the betting markets moving slowly, and then more decisively, to predict Democrat wins across the board. I know some of you saw them too. But I didn't want to mention them because, in case they were wrong, I didn't want to pull a Dan Rather Florida call and depress voting.

I don't know if just embargoing information was the right call. I did say I was feeling negative about our chances, without saying why.

As you can probably tell, I'm in a rancid mood. This is the one race I thought we'd win.

How are you? Do you have more perspective and equanimity than I'm managing to show?

The problem was utterly horrid turnout. The reality is that, as much as we crow about how we're winning, that winning is the result of one solitary man: Trump.

We have Trump and nobody else. Without him on the ballot, we just don't show up. We don't. If this doesn't somehow turn around, we're gonna get fisted in the midterms too.

They’re almost never wrong by afternoon Election Day. They’re often wrong leading up to the election. Jones was at 35% on Monday for instance. But once people start reporting turnout at specific precincts on Election Day betting markets are VERY accurate.

Last year Trump was in the 70s by afternoon E-Day, before they counted any votes. I knew he’d win when I saw that.

The only problem with repealing the 19th is that the amendment forbids barring the franchise on account of sex - it doesn't grant the vote to anyone. If the 19th were repealed, the Democrats would immediately try to bar *men* from voting.

98 Politics is rarely going to bring good news. Think about what we've suffered as R's since 1992 and it's just not pretty. It gets worse the more you try to console yourself about it with FACTS.

The facts are fucking dire. Bush wasn't fun, certainly not in his vile second term, and even for the minute it was, 9/11 happened and our side sold us to the wolves.


I was 100% out on politics after 2012, it was making me ill.

Trump dragged me back in come 2015 and it's fine because it's been actually a lot of fun at times. But really only with Trump. And so I'm 1% back in. Which is more than I personally want or ever intend to be again.

I tell you what I tell anyone. Get right with God - and Jesus if you can manage it - and realize politics is a losers game.

The Left still thinks they are losing, even after yesterday, and maybe they are. But thats the point. Two miserable sides that aren't gonna find common ground because one side absolutely intends to eliminate the other. There is no common ground there to reach, only commonality of purpose.

And you can't blame the women for voting their pocketbooks - what career fields has Trump eviscerated when he took office? Education, Fed Gov, Public Health, Non Profit, "Soft" Healthcare, Soft Science (Bio), etc, etc.

This election was a referendum that when women get screwed and demonized, they vote and men just stay home.

So, step 1, we may need to open the tent and be nicer to the young women we can persuade. I mean, I had to drag my own daughter out to vote and vote R b/c she wanted no place with that party right now (while she'd never vote D) - she was gonna skip the election - the R party or the internet's version of the R party which we never dispute, have ostracized young white women that much.

Yes, there's that phenomenon called "altruistic punishment" which everyone does but women, and especially young women who still have middle-school mean girl mentalities, are especially vicious about. But "altruistic punishment" is and always will be mostly about the punishment and less about the altruism. The "morality" is only mentioned as a justification for the cruelty they long to inflict.

We have Trump and nobody else. Without him on the ballot, we just don't show up. We don't. If this doesn't somehow turn around, we're gonna get fisted in the midterms too.




I will repeat what I posted in earlier threads.

My county was 84% turnout last year. 84. Which is unheard of in US elections. Clean sweep of all races by actual conservatives running for state house and senate seats. Trump won the county with 65% of the vote.

Yesterday turnout was …wait for it…. 32%!! Thirty fucking two percent. So more than 2/3 of people shrugged and couldn't’ bother to take 10 minutes out of their day to vote.

And all local races were won by leftists, decisively so. Because the left shows up for every election, big or small. It’s what they do.

You can’t win the game if your players stay home.

Young men, including myself, hate the GOP. It’s a dead party walking. It will probably go the way of the Whigs.

Trump motivates young men to vote because he’s not a typical GOP loser babbling on about the Constitution and muh norms, as if a guy named Zohran gives two shits about Thomas Jefferson or Alexander Hamilton.

- immigration
- the economy
- crime
- anti-woke

Those are the issues young men care about, and the GOP as a whole has failed over and over on them.

Young men want to be able to get a job, buy a house and start a family. They don’t want to be told they need to compete against tens of millions of foreigners in their own country because GDP line go up.

165 from an old post on so-called "altruistic" punishment aka seeking vengeance when you haven't been wronged:

I've been talking about this for about two years now, I think -- we did a podcast on the subject with John Sexton (another convert to the cause after I recommended Trial by Fury to him).

Vox now Voxspalains altruistic punishment, which they call "third party punishment."

The two terms describe the same phenomenon, which is that people take pleasure in punishing people for wronging others.

That's the third-party part, or the "altruistic" part -- apes punish other apes for wronging themselves, but apes don't care if you harm another ape.

Humans -- possibly uniquely -- do.

This is an altruistic impulse and it underlies our sense of fairness in society generally.

But there is a dark side to it. Because humans are hard-wired to really, really enjoy punishing others for their alleged sins against other people -- we derive actual pleasure from it; it's that feeling of angry righteous fury political partisans feel -- and sometimes we go deliberately looking for slights to others, which could be entirely imaginary, to righteously punish.

I mean, worry, yeah, but this was pretty predictable.
VA has an election every f*cking year.
It is not a "mandate!" or a "complete repudiation of trump!" for a state that's been getting bluer for a decade or more to have gone blue, especially given our "tradition" of voting statewide offices opposite to the preceding year's presidential.
Add in the dynamic of large population centers in NoVA and Tidewater that are dominated by federal employees and federal contractors overwhelming RoVA (our "rest of Virginia" version of "flyover"), and this was pretty much baked in.
The gender gap on voting was ten tons of wine moms still livid that bad orangeman won last year, and a lot of them "christian", who dismissed Jones' remarks as a joke that naz!s are just too stupid and evil to get.
I am not happy about the results here, but I am not surprised.
I've decided to look forward to pointing out to these good "christian" women in my extended family that they voted to normalize violence, when something happens that shocks them into running for the corkscrew a little earlier in the day.

Here is a man who when nobody was really watching was advocating for the murder of his political opponent.

The new enlightenment it seems is advocating for murder and assassination is a qualifying characteristic. God help us.

Local (enough) News: Larry Krasner wins 3rd term to serve as Philadelphia district attorney

"Voters in Philadelphia have elected District Attorney Larry Krasner to a third term as the city's top prosecutor, the Associated Press projects.

Krasner ran against former Municipal Court judge Patrick Dugan, who accepted the Republican nomination after losing in the Democratic primary.

As of 11:22 a.m. Wednesday, Krasner has 258,492 votes (75.6%) compared to 83,629 (24.4%) for Dugan, with 97% of the vote counted. The AP called the race at 9:16 p.m. Tuesday."

----
Was out on errands and decided to listen to a local PBS station for the hell of it. Oh, sure, they're delighted for the "voting against Trump." Time is needed to understand if it was the young voters who actually made most different in the D big wins yesterday...not so much specific groups leaning Left in the past, but the youth vote & whatever comprises it now.

And, a younger guy from a NYC borough called the Philly area station "united" in cause & looking forward to taking the Fascists class out of office (2026

Also, not only do we need to get rid of illegal aliens, but we really, really need to cut back the number of legal immigrants to the bone. Mamdani doesn't happen without the last 24 years of LEGAL immigration into NYC.

Finally, defund the Universities. To the extent funded, fund only rigorous, traditionally recognized academic disciplines. Loan guarantees only for those same disciplines. REQUIRE an objective measure of intelligence (the old SAT) AND admissions policies which use the SAT to gate-keep before considering other collateral factors in admissions as a condition for Federal aid.

Cheating on his community service (half the hours were spent at his own PAC, the other half were double-dipped with paid work from his law firm) which was already a light sentence for his reckless driving charge is patently disqualfying for a state AG.

Similarly, I think Winsome's campaign erred by spending so much time on "men in girl's spaces". Yes, it's an issue. Yes, it should be mentioned. But she should have been running HARD on continuing Youngkin's successes and pointing out where Spanberger would roll back that progress.

362 C19 already caused somewhat of a mass exodus from NY.
Most are still around and they'll be cashing in, regardless.

They settled in PA in the NE and SE, buying houses that are now rentals and/or much like Airbnb's (but under some other name). It looks like either relatives and/or some political groups fronted the purchases.

They appear to spend roughly half their time in NY, half in PA. Their vehicles - which are many - still bear NY license plates. And we also have the same thing from Delaware, New Jersey, and even Oregon.

How easy is it to check dual voting from one state to another, and especially when so many names are now shared or very, very similar from some Left leaning groups (i.e., Indians - dot not feather, etc.) if very specific voting IDs are not employed?

One lesson to be learned is: do not underestimate the power of AWFLs or women in general. Women are a potent political force and are increasingly block voting en masse. Unfortunately, they block vote for the bad guys. This is a yuge problem for the GOP.

The truth is we've become Balkanized overnight, historically speaking. There's no common middle ground from which to negotiate or compromise. I don't see how we can peacefully coexist with those millions of murder cult commies who want us dead or enslaved--preferably dead.

Any ideas, anyone? Or am I just letting this turmoil and division get to me and being overly pessimistic?

376 Erika is awesome. That is a stellar answer to
The Kimmel fake apology.

The people trying to turn a hug between her and JD into hug-gate are disgusting. She's huggy. She's a hugger. And she has bonded with JD's family and it's beautiful. They say you bond with people that are willing to drive you to the airport. That goes triple if you are driven to the airport and then they fly you and your beloved husband's body back home, I think. Pretty sure that forges a bond for life.

And Candace, in implying people on the TPUSA staff, especially Mormons, might be behind Charlie's death puts a bullseye on Erika too. That a mom in the public eye, knowing the danger, would willingly put another mom in the public eye is beyond despicable. If Candace actually cares about Erika at all, and loves her friend more than the grift, she'll back off.

Is welding all the nations now,
Except the one that's nearest.

This compromise has long been known,
This scheme of partial pardons,
In ethical societies
And small suburban gardens--

The villas and the chapels where
I learned with little labour
The way to love my fellow-man
And hate my next-door neighbour.

I don't think she ran a bad campaign. It's just that despite her strong background, she isn't charismatic or even likeable. While a lot of us liked her aggressive demeanor at the debate, I thought that would turn a lot of mid-range voters off. I think I was right. (I said the same about Kari Lake when she lost AZ.)

I hate to say it, but at the debate she came across similar to the Angry Black Woman that we are always making fun of when it's a democrap. Meanwhile, that gruesome AWFL just did her Stepford Wife impression and came off looking calmer and more capable.

Yes.

There's been a lot of cope among conservatives about how the "extremists" and "radicals" on the Left have driven Leftism into ruination and defeat. In reality, the Left just put their most radical and extreme guy in charge of the most important city in our country.

The Left is not ruined. It is not defeated. They lost precisely one election. But they have not moderated. In fact they are leaning into their radicalism even more. They just elected an Attorney General who is guilty of the most extreme violent rhetoric we've ever heard from a major party candidate at any level in any race.

Wokeness is not dead. The term may be dead, but the thing itself is very much alive and well. We have to meet it aggressively and unapologetically to defeat it.

I don’t see how this is bad. IIRC, there’s a law passed by congress that gives the prez broad power to set tariff rates if he deems there’s an emergency… well the prez has declared there’s an emergency and he’s setting tariff rates accordingly… even “it’s a tax Roberts” can’t pretzel logic his way out of that….

Going on about "commies" or (although it's rare here) "liberals" just makes conservatives look like fat old white dudes sittin' around on our front porches in between collecting Social Security. It's communism for you, the younger people think; but it's bootstraps for us. Or just the boot.

Well he's not wrong. When the job postings are for "unpaid entry level internship, Masters required, PhD preferred, 5-7 years previous experience necessary" it's not much of a motivator. Or when the entry level salary for a professional position is the same as it was in 1998, and they want 80 hours a week from you, people offering alternatives start looking attractive even if the alternative ultimately sucks. Tone-deafness, shitty immigration policy, shitty economic policy, corporate slop, and "well nobody wants to work anymore" coming from every LinkedIn CEO isn't a recipe for success.

530 I don’t think they’ll ever pass an outright gun ban. They’ll just enact taxes to make it impossible for anyone to own guns. $10,000 tax per firearm and $10 tax per bullet purchased. You’ve effectively banned guns for 95% of the population.

The commies will do their propaganda thing and say this was an indictment of Trump. We'll see how true that is next year, but in a proper on-cycle election against a majority communist (RE: evil) party, we'll know where this country stands.

537 I live in VA and the GOP has always been the unserious party here. Half the time they run a shitty candidate that runs a campaign on 4 or 8 year old issues.

From the ads that ran, the only thing Sears was campaigning on was men in locker rooms. That worked 4 years ago when the Dems were pushing hard on that, but not this year when Trump is cleaning that up.

Miyares made his whole campaign on Jone's texts, and then Sears made her ads on Jone's texts. That was an issue that would have been best left to the last few weeks of the campaign instead of a month and a half.

Sears lost about 200K votes that Youngkin received, Spanberger got about 300K more voters than McAuliffe got. Sears was just a bad candidate that hurt down ticket races.

Eh. He can call tariffs whatever he wishes, but the last thing the US Supreme Court wants is to take the blame for the greatest economic catastrophe in the last 200 years. Congress also has the sole power to declare war. How many wars and conflicts has the US endured since 1945? Congress has also given the Executive Branch significant authority to right international trade imbalances -- Dems and Republican presidents have used those powers in the best interest of the USA.

The older brother is willing to do a little bit of work, to the point where I hired him part time. I still have to ride him like a pony to keep him working, when he actually decides to show up. He slept in today, no text, no call, he just decided he wasn't working. And he's the CONSERVATIVE of the two.

While these elections don't directly impact me or my family, I hope the "trend" stops now.

I prayed NYC would vote against the jihadist. They didn't. I pray nightly against evil, but sometimes things have to go really bad to right the ship. Like electing Trump 2 after Barky and Bidet.

We can only control a small amount in our lives. Politics is not one we can, so I just roll with it and enjoy life the best I can.

Twenty-five years, almost to the day, for NYC to elect this creep after 9/11 is mind boggling. As some say, many of the people voting are too young to remember. Some wacky liberal women, like my late MIL (who voted for Barky as her late Reagan Republican husband rolled in his grave), possibly did this for "history" and "forgiving" and "inclusion." Probably women with 1000 cats who get that brain parasite from the kitty litter or their puthy hats.

My husband, from Long Island, felt that NYC almost deserves this as they've let the city descend into a spiral of filth, illegals and drugs. We'll see, but it is sad to think about, therefore I try not to. Glad I enjoyed NYC in the early 2000's.

584 The Republican candidate for governor was terrible. She ran on biography as a Jamaican immigrant who was a former Marine and small business owner. She did not suggest even a single substantive public policy proposal. Virginia is choking on its roads and its schools are in heavy decline. We ended up having a gubernatorial election where none of the issues facing the state were discussed. She ended up losing by 14.6% and pulling down the rest of the GOP with her.

The rest of the state-wide ticket lost by smaller margins and the GOP lost 13 seats in the lower house of the state legislature. The Democrats went from a 51-49 majority in the lower house to a 64-36 near supermajority.

This is an example of what happens when the GOP tries to play identity politics with the Democrats by nominating an unqualified racial minority.

Language of Confusion

NOTE: This piece was written before final election results came in last night. As a result, this is not about yesterday's winners and losers, though it is election-related. Feel free to go off-topic to the news of the day

On one of the weekend threads, I saw a comment that enraged me. Not because the commenter was wrong or offensive or because he was dishonest or anything like that, but because his comment underscored a very real problem that surfaces in nearly every election: the powers that be playing language games to con the public:

We voted early last week here in Texas. 17 constitutional amendments on the ballot. I skipped one because I could not understand what they were trying to accomplish the language was so convulated.
This is so common with ballot language that you can set your watch by it. Somebody wants to put one over on the public, and so writes something so confusing that they get the outcome they want through pure inscrutability. It isn't even as simple as "vote for or against or sit it out," because depending on how it is written, any of those things can be what the con men who wrote it actually want. The "see who's for it and decide accordingly" approach is usually better, but even that is still fraught with peril.

Here's an example from the great state of California:

Eliminates Recently Enacted Road Repair and Transportation Funding by Repealing Revenues Dedicated for those Purposes.
Repeals a 2017 transportation law's taxes and fees designated for road repairs and public transportation.
What does that mean? If you concluded, "repeals a tax cut and raises taxes," go collect your winnings. You're one of the few who would read, "tax hike" instead of "tax cut" based on that language.

There are countless examples, and it is representative of one of the most opaque and corrupt part of the elections process. But what to do about it? Law is complicated (on purpose, but nonetheless it is complicated) and consequences can be hard to judge. Differences of opinion are real, and many are valid. It's a tricky problem. I have periodically thought about this problem, usually when confronted with appalling ballot language in Colorado (that state is terrible on this front).

One idea I've had is what I call the "C-Average Standard." First, create ballot language according to whatever rules apply today. Then, the finalist language is distributed to high schoolers at schools within the jurisdictions subject to the ballot measure, at least one high school per school district. The students to whom the ballot language is distributed must have a "C" average - a GPA of 2.0-2.75. Not the total dumbasses, but also not the top students. The "average" students. Have them read it and then describe its effects. No computers. No phones. Test-taking rules.

If more than 5% or 100 students - whichever is smaller - fails to accurately interpret the effect of the ballot measure, the language is rejected and the sponsors have to try again. Do it until C-average high school students can understand the issue. If the ballot writers fail to develop comprehensible language before the ballots are printed, the measure is canceled and does not go to a vote at all.

The "C-Average" standard would have resulted in a total rewrite of the example above. It looks like a tax cut, and that's what a lot of people would say about it. If you don't know in advance that the "recently enacted road repair and transportation funding" law that was to be repealed was a cut to the gas tax, there's no way you would know. The ballot language makes sure of that, because it was written by con men looking to put one over on the voting public.

What would you do about deceptive ballot language? Is it a solvable problem at all?

48 We had one I voted down yesterday, with words to effect of "let us invest this fund in the stock market."

My ears perked up, I rightly asked why would a Constitutional amendment be required to invest a fund - it sounds like the public rightly does not trust the legislature.

The wife and I discussed, and I rattled off A), b) and iii) reasons why not. She, not satisfied, internet expert advice, which rattled off same A), b) and iii) reasons why not, and she agreed.

*eye roll*

Turns out that the fund is insolvent: A) Why, then, would we trust your investing prowess? b) It would likely be invested in Green Nood Eel boondoggles. And iii) somebody's friend is going to be getting rich on the investments either through kickbacks, unearned patronage and fees, and/or insider trading knowledge.

But if that's the case, it means in 2024, Trump running brought out a national referendum on the dems in states and counties that usually lean blues. This means with him not running in 2028, states that vote blue will vote blue unless the GOP

67 On my ballot yesterday was a question that I had to read several times to understand. It was whether to raise funding for some government agencies. But it wasn’t a simple do you want to increase funding?

No. That would be too easy. The question was 4 paragraphs long with all sorts of double negatives. A yes vote instructs the planning commission to not vote to increase funding but to authorize a bind measure to increase funding which will be paid for by money taken from this fund and allocated to this other fund. It was nothing but legalese that no civilian could possibly understand.

I did my homework ahead of time and figured out a yes vote means more taxes a no vote means no new taxes. But someone just showing up cold would have no idea what they’re voting on.

81 Dave Rubin had a really good interview with Rudy Giuliani on his show yesterday, getting his take on things for NYC before the election was decided.

Giuliani reminded Rubin, and this I don't know, that New York/NYC did NOT vote for Lincoln! They chose the Democrat. So even way back when, they have been voting against their best interests. Plus the boss tweed corruption stuff that never truly went away.

Giuliani pulled completely out of NYC, only lives in Florida now. I'm sure some of that is his money woes. But it's also that the NYC he fought for and loves is gone. And he's heartbroken about it.

Conversation at a local shop I witnessed on Monday:

boomer lady customer: What's going into the [currently shutdown bar/restaurant]?"

salesperson: It's going to be similar to the old one, called '[neighborhood name] Social'--"

customer, cutting her off: "THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE TRUMP'S TRUTH SOCIAL! I will not go there just on principle!!"

salesperson giggles.

customer: "We are currently in a civil war, and I know what side I'm on!!"


It was deranged. Worse, this boomer lady was proudly defiant, like not going to this restaurant was akin to slaying a dragon.

You can know that some are radicalized against us, but seeing it up close like that was disturbing.

161 There is some things you do not say. There are some thing you do not joke about. There are things that decent, moral people will NOT say- even in the abstract.

I remember reading an article where a guy was arguing with a commie about words and whether they have meaning and matter. He said 'Ok, if you believe that words have NO meaning, repeat after me: 'I want my children to die horrible, painful deaths right now.' The person rightly refused. So his point was: those words matter to you, don't they.

Another example is James Gunn. I really liked GotG, but when it came out that he was joking about banging kids, that was it. He was a piece of shit. These types of things are revealing of nature. And guess what, he is a piece of shit.

Candidate quality matters as much, maybe more, than policies.

Let me put it like this:
Obama wiped out the Dem bench of moderates, and only radicals remain.
But, they have a bench; a farm team, a system.

Republicans have/had nothing. There is no college --> NGO --> appointed job --> run for office --> higher office pipeline on the right.
It's weirdos and randos tired of all this shit who run on their own for lower office.
And if they win--w/o GOP support--then, sometimes, the GOP will help them.
That means no vetting or training for quality candidates.
And you get a Lake or a Sears--excellent on issue--bad on connecting to voters.

How about requiring something akin to software & hardware QA (Quality Assurance) "Black Box Testing" -- which evaluates the system's functionality based on external behavior, without any knowledge of the internal code or architecture?

Require a series of varying related input conditions (scenarios) followed by:

(1) their CURRENT output results (the present status quo, and hence the result of a NO vote); along with

(2) their FUTURE output results if passed (and hence the result of a NO vote).

To prevent misleading, deceptive, and lying scenarios would require some independent group of lawyers, judges and/or to facilitate in creating and -- honestly in good faith -- representing these various scenarios (which of course it subject to corruption a la Califzuela's "Independent" Redistricting Commission ... aye, there's the rub!).

But the legislature writes their own ballot titles so if the title board is less commie than the legislature they cannot make the ballot title more honest when the legislature is bamboozling the public.

I hate it, but I've reached the point where I'm writing people off...not because I disagree with their opinions or their policy ideas, but because they're mendacious, dishonest liars who won't tell you what their actual position is so you can have an honest conversation about it. Not coincidentally this includes pretty much everyone on the modern left. Zohran Mandami comes the closest, in all of his wrong-ness, to actually telling something that vaguely resembles the truth, but it's not hard to scratch the surface of what he says and discover that his true intentions are much darker.

It exists on the right, too. Tucker, Candace, and all the rest of the turds that are "Just askin' questions a-hyuck!." Fuck them.

We are being invaded. Look at the voters who elected Mamdani. He got an overwhelming number of foreign born voters and probably thousands more of illegal aliens. NYC might be the most visible but it is far from the only place this is happening. Dance on NYC's grave all you want but don't believe for a second their goal isn't complete takeover of the US.

If it costs a dime, I vote No. Used to be if it benefited first responders or schools it was okay, but now it seems like every election they're doing something that's supposedly "for the children" but it goes to the admins and the Dem unions. Ditto anything for the roads, which are literally falling apart around here. And the people of my upscale town apparently haven't met a tax or bond yet that they didn't like.

I'd be depressed by yesterday's outcome to make California even more California, except since the idiots voted in the instant run-off thing, all of our choices are between Democrat No. 1, Democrat No. 2, and sometimes Democrat No. 3. So I expected nothing less. I just despair of my home state.

It’s worse than that. They delight in the homelessness and crime.

I used to know so many urban libs who took perverse pride in the decadence of their cities. San Franciscans who thought homeless men jacking it in public was funny and a sign they’d “made it.” “That’s when I knew I lived in a real city.”

I had friends who complained about how safe and “Disneyfied” NYC had become. They wanted a return to Times Square being full of porno theaters and pimps. Stuff they never witnesses first-hand because it was cleaned up before they left grade school in their affluent suburb.

You go five blocks west and things change. All of sudden there are fences around parking lots. Auto gates. Razor wire topping the fences. The further west you go the worse it gets, but it is a bright shiny dividing line at the five blocks. But no one seems to want to talk about it because that would be racist.

It's more like there is no homeless and crime in the areas they live. There is homelessness and crime all across the country. The more populated the area, the more of it you get.

But you can be sure that the affluent areas in even the worst cities are nice and clean and safe. Even at the height of Detroit's scumbaggery, there were multi-million houses in gated communities.

266 I always pointed out in Louisville, the area around UofL is beautiful. Nice apartment buildings, beautiful lawns. Businesses.

You go five blocks west and things change. All of sudden there are fences around parking lots. Auto gates. Razor wire topping the fences. The further west you go the worse it gets, but it is a bright shiny dividing line at the five blocks. But no one seems to want to talk about it because that would be racist. And thus it is enabled and those people are also abandoned to it. In the name of tolerance and to not be labeled racist.

He’s still talking though.

Look if he doesn’t want to leave, that’s his prerogative. Living in Malibu, across the street from the ocean, is not the worst thing in the world. I get it.

People are being elected who are out and proud advocates for their "home countries" and consider themselves to be little more than de facto members of those countries' home governments or ruling factions who just happen to be here in our governing bodies. Think of the flag wavers for Somalia, for "Palestine", for Mexico, for Guatemala, for Uganda, and for Ukraine, to name but a few, in Congress, the states, and the state legislatures. I dare say that most of them feel a stronger bond to those locales and cultures than they do for this country.

Why would anyone who wants to pack up and leave a blue shithole city want to move to another big city? Go rural, for fuck's sake. Find some place that is deep enough rural that urban commuters have not yet found it, and driven land prices into the stratosphere. Maybe a small town within ten miles or so, and a decent-sized city a hundred miles away. Close enough that you can scratch you city itch in 90 minutes or so, but far enough that the cancer stays away.

It took me 3 years to convince The Wifey to escape Califzuela over 13 years ago -- but if this place eventually goes into the toilet, it'll likely take me a decade to get her to leave yet another shithole.

Now, now, Coeur d'Alene still doesn't let bums crap on the sidewalks.

It's probably still more conservative than Moscow.

A few years ago when Antifa was threatening to come in for the BLM marches, most of the city turned out and made it an impromptu gun show and plate carrier mutual admiration event.

In Larimer County we had a couple issues, as did the whole State, which included the ability for the created advocacy groups to set up their own slush funds, without bother to abide by TABOR. Step-by-step these "educated" Coloradoans are overruling TABOR, and putting more and more funding out of the control of the Legislature.

Posted by: Ceasar DuBuque at November 05, 2025 02:11 PM (Q5KN2)

447 First, in any case where you can't understand the ballot language (and I know all you Morons and 'ettes are smart cookies) vote against it. And, of course, always do your research so you're not deciphering in the booth.

Second, and most important, is to reduce the malarkey government is involved in and has power over. At that point, you can just vote against ballot measures in general (mostly). Government makes stuff referendums or constitutional amendments because that locks things down - after all, the people voted for it, right? You wouldn't want to go against the people, now would you? (Conversely, if the people pass something wrong and they get the judiciary to squash it, then they cry about "But it's the law!")

Third, the problem with your C-average plan is, "Who determines the right interpretation?" IOW, who determines the middle-schooler is correct? Ask the author? Some of those folks are lying lawerly dirtbags and the rest aren't often much above lowlife.

Yea. It’s almost like they tried too hard to make it sad and depressing. I didn’t like it for that reason, but also because it didn’t jive with everything those characters did up to that point. They fight like hell no matter the odds for the entire movie, and then — oh well, we ran outta gas. Let’s all kill ourselves.

I think the All Time OG of abusively depressing endings is Expect The Unexpected. Hong Kong movie from 2000 or so. Yikes.

63 Vernet does wonderful things with light, especially the diffused moonlight in this painting. The craggy rocks make an interesting contrast with the gentle light and calm water. He did others of a similar nature but included small areas of fire light illuminating people huddled around them, which emphasized the surrounding soft darkness. I can almost hear the soft sounds of water and creak of the ship at anchor while the calm air (the pennants are not stirring) sets an emotional tone. Very effective.

Vernet's paintings, whether a gentle scene like this one, a bustling harbor in daylight, or an ocean storm worthy of The Tempest, convey a mood and emotion for anyone who has been by an ocean. It may vary from peaceful to busy to terrifying but it is there.

"Style of"

Joseph Vernet (1714–1789) evolved a luminous landscape style inspired by the port cities of Italy and the precedent of the painter Claude Lorrain (1600–1682). Vernet’s fame led to the imitation of his compositions by many followers, such as Charles François Lacroix de Marseille (ca. 1700–ca. 1779) and Francesco Fidanza (1747–1819). The painter who created this seascape remains unknown, but they have taken compositional components from works by Vernet that were engraved in the 1770s.

168 Good summary at PJM.

>> Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates pretty much have a supermajority. New Jersey Democrats have one in the state assembly. New Hampshire got bluer. Every Virginia county swung to the Left. California passed Proposition 50, which paves the way for its gerrymandering session. Maine rejected voter ID and passed red flag laws. In Georgia, two public service commissioners got blown out, with Democratic candidates in both races clinching over 60 percent of the vote. Last, in Bucks County, where conservative school board candidates clinched wins by campaigning against woke agenda nonsense, the Democrats retook the ground. They regained the majority in 2023. They finished off all the Republicans in the Central Bucks and Pennridge districts.

It's not the end, but this was an atrocious night for the Republican Party.

Trump didn't. I remember this. From Grok:

No, Nick Fuentes was not formally invited by Donald Trump to Mar-a-Lago in 2022. However, he did attend a private dinner there on November 22, 2022, as an unannounced guest of Kanye West (now Ye), who had requested the meeting with Trump.

Kind of.

Milo Yiannopolous arranged some sort of weird media tour with Kanye and Fuentes together. They did the weird-ass thing with Alex Jones where Kanye wore the black hood over his head, then they showed up on Tim Pool's show and walked out because Kanye threw a fit over "Da Joooooz". The Trump dinner was part of whatever strategy that Milo was pursuing at the time.

241 Checked Colorado results. The D legislature amendments to cap deductions for households with over 300K income to fund free school meals for everybody and now to supplement the fed SNAP money passed. I figured they would. The commies have gotten clever about "we will only tax the rich for this gimmedat" and average people figure the rich can afford to pay a few hundred more in taxes. Of course after another 10 years of inflation, 300K will probably be mid tier household income and all the wine moms will get to actually pay for their feel good claptrap.

300 From what I'm seeing, the average SNAP benefit is around $188/month. I don't know about you, but my monthly grocery bill is higher than that, and there's only one of me.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia


$8 billion divided by 42 million = 190/month.
7 people in a house = $1330/month.

That IS NOT meant to try to stay on par with people who work and put food on their table. That's supposed to SUPPLEMENTAL ASSISTANCE.

I see people posting "I only qualified for $20".

If they did, someone else got a shit ton of money then. Because we know how many are receiving and how much $$ is going out the door every month.

Posted by: rickb223 Acehole Extraordinaire coined by JSpicy at November 05, 2025 11:00 AM (GlKAP)

301 252. The amendment was not clear, but I think the SNAP part will be for illegals to get bennies if the feds crack down on states to better screen recipients and the free school meals has flowery language about money to allow local sourcing of ingredients and making the meals healthier.

The whole "free meals for everyone to remove stigma" was B.S. unless the schools in CO are incredibly retarded. Way back in the 20th century when I was in school in ND the parents bought lunch passes, they had a sliding scale for cost to parents, and if the family income was very low the passes were free; only the school admin had any way to know if a pass was subsidized or free they all looked the same. Only kids who very rarely ate the cafeteria fare instead of bringing a lunch would ever pay cash.

The Morning Report — 11/5/25

MAMDANIKONG.jpg

Before getting started, PLEASE NOTE: Ace has warned and with great justification for the sake of his personal safety and the sake of this site, that there is an individual whose name and identity are absolutely forbidden from writing and or discussing, regardless of context. At least one commenter ignored that rule yesterday and so has been banned. Forever. No excuses no second chances.

Good morning kids. First, a UPS cargo jet crashed in Louisville last night so prayers for all those affected and the victims.

The results from Election Day are not necessarily surprising but nevertheless completely disgusting and horrendous in their implications for the nation and our society going forward. Yes, NYC decided that it wanted to get high on new and improved Zyklon C, instead of returning to some form of relative sanity with Sliwa or even criminal lout Cuomo, who at least isn't a jihadist or a Stalinist but merely a corrupt mobbed up mass Mom-mom and Pop-pop killer.

Also, that the commonwealth of Virginia has decided to make a twisted scumbag thug who openly fantasized about putting two bullets in the head of his political opponents and in so doing effectively encouraged his supporters to do so, the top law enforcement officer of said commonwealth is in my view one big-ass paving stone on the road to Hell. Jay Jones, should only be on the receiving end of what he wishes on his enemies. But would never be because only he and his ilk rely on subversion, violence and terrorism to gain and maintain power.


With that as a preamble, if you will, I share what an old college buddy of mine posted on Facebook along with a stock photo of the Empire State building:

Politicians come and go. Two iconic Manhattan buildings (Empire State and Chrysler) have stood above it all for 95 years. This is my favorite of the two.

My dear sweet Lord in Heaven, Master of the universe and creator of all things, did you have to inflict such a braindead asshole on me so early in the morning. To my otherwise dear yet braindead knee-jerk liberal friend, I wonder if you had this sentiment in mind back in 1993 when Rudy Giuliani the first Republican, and for sure non-leftist/liberal mayor in New York City probably since forever was elected probably to your great disappointment. And then as his second term was coming to a close, two other iconic buildings which were only standing for about 30 years were reduced to smoldering ruins, the smoke plume and flames actually visible from space. Just to clarify, this happened not because of Rudy Giuliani, but because of the ineptitude and pig ignorance about the dangers of Islam by successive Democrat and Republican presidents.

Yeah, politicians come and go which is probably what many Germans thought in 1933 when that funny little corporal was elected, ditto what the citizens of Zimbabwe/Rhodesia were thinking in 1980 when Robert Mugabe with the help of Jimmy Carter was installed as president, only to wind up victims of mass starvation and political repression due to the ineptitude, corruption and tyrannical brutality of the regime they thought was freely elected (pfft!) and would be voted out of office in the next election (double plus pfft!).

So to my friend Steve, kindly get your head out of your ass and un-Fuck yourself after you and whoever else supported or voted for Mamdani because Democrat good/Republican evil go fuck yourself. Seems counterintuitive but appropriate nonetheless.

The results of the key races are in the links and you can also peruse the usual websites for their full coverage and wrap-ups.

Never but never has an off-year state and/or local election predicted the upcoming general election outcome.

Let the Dems have their celebration.

It wasn't because Trump wasn't on the ballot (and Rs didn't turn out).
It wasn't because of the shutdown ( and Ds over-performed.)
It was Democrats, increasingly deranged, out-spent and voted for Democrats.

It's a D split in the Senate. And now a big D split in the House. And Ds for Gov (LTG) and AG. They can pass what they want when they want b/c there are no minority rights in the VA House/Senate (1 vote wins on votes).

They will now have the redistricting and abortion constitutional amendments (passed this term and now gonna be passed next term - you have to do it twice with an election in betwen) on the ballot for 2026. Which will swing VA congressional seats bluer.

I disagree. The polls *never* undercount D support. It's just not in their nature. For them to do it on this scale means something is up.

Also, I know a fair number of people wish to now pretend 2020 was legit so they can feel smug stating that this is what voters actually want, but elections are still fucked in every state not named "Florida" until proven otherwise.

59 So time is running out on Republicans to scrap the filibuster and concretize Trump's agenda into law before we lose the midterms (which, without Trump on the ballot and given the R's otherwise pathetic turnout record, is near-certain).

Step 1: Scrap the filibuster.
Step 2: Pass the Trump agenda.
Step 3: Democrats are elected in the future.
Step 4: Democrats undo the Trump agenda.

There is no concretize as long as a significant portion of the electorate is prepared to be stupid.

And "I like Trump" is not a cure-all.
Do not lose sight of the fact that the rot in the GOP of the establishment is deep and wide.

NYC has a massive bureaucracy that will run on its own. Very badly, and very expensively, but that is okay with Mamdani.

My guess is that he will concentrate on his vanity projects, and not give a shit about the everyday running of the city.

If naturalized citizens can't run for President, why should they be allowed to vote in the first place?

219 Democrats are playing to win--and end the game; GOPe just wants to have a good time and make friends (and money) along the way.

Its foolish to think that this is a Party thing - the obvious flaw in that reasoning is requirement to add the Uniparty patch when the template often fails.

It is spiritual warfare. The reason why so many in the GOPe don't recognize it is because they themselves are reprobates and insensitive to any moral or ethical standards in the sense of being personally applicable.

Satan, the Great Accuser knows morals and ethics, and the children of Stan do too, they remind us of that every time they attempt to manipulate us and control us by accusations leading to guilt. Their own corrupt and depraved nature lets them mock and ridicule these standards. They frame their grift and corruption in moral terms, but have zero intention of following through with the promises.

The feds won't move - the state will just employ all the former feds and keep them all year, making the state permanently blue b/c no one red will work in gov...neither state or federal at this point.

I mean, we have to consider - if you were on our side, after this year, would you ever work for fed gov now? And if you did, would you want to go through this every year? And if you answer no to both questions, how can fed gov not continue its lurch to pure blue zealotry?

I'm going to make a guess that those who voted for Spanberger and Jones fit into one of these categories:

1. Live in NoVA and work for the federal government OR some government related business/organization (e.g. defense contractor, NGO, politics). Or their spouse does. They are pissed off at Trump and the GOP for all the DOGE cuts and shutdown.

2. Foreign born, fled a country where their politicians are more corrupt and threatening, so are either not shocked, or worse, see it as familiar and reassuring.*

It is a mistake to assume the voters have the same values as we do.


*I worked in DC at an international country when the Clinton/Lewinski scandal broke, My foreign colleagues thought it was quaint we expected our politicians to not be corrupt or to abuse young women in the Oval Office. "They all do it, what's the big deal?"

402 Over 700,000 federal employees are furloughed or working without pay, with many turning to food banks and second jobs.

Given that all of these 700,000 federal employees will get 100% compensation if/when Congress does their job, will these looters of the food banks keep their bounty or will they just add that to their Shut Down Prize Winnings?

It seems really immoral that furloughed "workers" aka "Non-Essential Employees" will get paid for their month long vacation while the "Essential Employees" who don't get the month+ of paid vacation had to spend money on getting to/from work.

I don't the results from last night have anything to do with the midterm elections. Yes, it would have been great to win in places like NJ or VA but they aren't exactly deep red areas and with the possible exception of the VA AG race Republicans were the underdogs in every race.

The left is angry and wants revenge and they are motivated. As noted about groups like the Ford Foundation they are also well financed and organized. In VA you also had a huge number of fed gov't workers and for obvious reasons they are angry. And while Sears might be a nice, admirable woman she is not much of a campaigner. When the top doesn't inspire its bad news for down ballot candidates.

I can't say I'm surprised that Dems voted for an AG who joked about murdering his political opponents. They haven't finished celebrating Kirk's murder yet and cheer on antifa everyday. They don't care.

Will the Dems get rid of the filibuster when they get the chance? Maybe. But we've been hearing that warning for a very long time and it's still here.

431 I don't the results from last night have anything to do with the midterm elections. Yes, it would have been great to win in places like NJ or VA but they aren't exactly deep red areas and with the possible exception of the VA AG race Republicans were the underdogs in every race.

The left is angry and wants revenge and they are motivated. As noted about groups like the Ford Foundation they are also well financed and organized. In VA you also had a huge number of fed gov't workers and for obvious reasons they are angry. And while Sears might be a nice, admirable woman she is not much of a campaigner. When the top doesn't inspire its bad news for down ballot candidates.

I can't say I'm surprised that Dems voted for an AG who joked about murdering his political opponents. They haven't finished celebrating Kirk's murder yet and cheer on antifa everyday. They don't care.

We get a day to despair but then it's time to get back to fighting because they will never stop.

This is a case of "concentrated vs. diffuse interest" writ large.

BUT - midterms tend to be determined by concentrated interest in most cycles, and the GOP is motivated to lose, so while these elections are determinative of nothing, 2026 is gonna be an uphill battle no matter what.

100% of the campaign cycle will come down to Trump's team getting souls to the polls.

Reps aren't showing up
Dems are

It’s turnout. When trump is on the ballot people on the right turn out to vote. When he’s not they don’t. Dems on the other hand d turn out all the time.

I posted this above my county turnout was 84% last year and 32% yesterday. 2024 was a gop sweep yesterday was a.Dem sweep.

518 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

Finally, yesterday, the spread and reach of the Democratic Socialists is real. CBS News, Politics, 'Here's what Mamdani's NYC mayoral win, and the rise of a democratic socialist, could mean for Democrats nationwide.' (Yeah, chapters now in every state.)

Where's everyone been burying their heads in sand, especially since 2017? Now some are curious as to what it means?! "The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a political nonprofit organization, not a political party with a ballot line. DSA members and endorsees usually run as members of the Democratic Party, and occasionally with the Green Party, Working Families Party, or as independents." Wikipedia, in part.

519 "On May 10, 2024, the Biden Administration released a final rule aimed at helping to ensure access to Medicaid services, which has several notable provisions aimed at increasing transparency and improving access to Medicaid home care, increasing home care payment rates, and addressing home care workforce challenges. The rule cites workforce shortages as a major contributor to home care access barriers among Medicaid enrollees. ..."

Great program for employment of 'undocumented' immigrant workers & also creating thousands of small businesses. (That's some of how it's done in PA.)

"However, those higher payment rates may be curtailed under House Republicans’ proposals to cut federal Medicaid spending by $2.3 trillion over 10 years."

"Efforts to reduce funding for Medicaid could have significant impacts on the direct care workforce, in particular, as nearly 70% of home care is paid for by Medicaid."

Daily Tech News 5 November 2025

Top Story

  • DC-based tech startup Besxar has signed a deal with SpaceX for 12 launches of experimental chip fabrication hardware. (Tom's Hardware)

    The idea being that on the ground, maintaining a hard vacuum is difficult and expensive but essential for chip production. In space, though, you can just open a window.

    The tricky part - and a key point in these experiments - is seeing if wafers can be launched into orbit and returned intact.


  • You know what else has been launched into orbit? Memory prices. (Tom's Hardware)

    It's a good thing I bought my 128GB of DDR5 RAM when I did, because the price of those high-density high-speed modules has doubled.

    The price of low-density and low-speed modules has also doubled.

    The price of older DDR4 modules has - you guessed it - doubled.

    Or in some cases, more.

    Thanks, AI.


Tech News

  • Without access to Nvidia's high-end AI chips, China has resorted to making their own. Only problem is they are far less power-efficient. (WCCFTech)

    The Chinese government is subsidising power bills for AI companies by 50% to try to make up that gap.


  • It's not all bad news for Nintendo on the patent front. Sometimes its worse news. (WCCFTech)

    Their patent on capturing monsters and putting them in your pocket was recently rejected by the Japanese patent office for being unoriginal.

    Now the company's US patent on summoning monsters from your pocket and making them fight is being re-examined by the USPTO and could end up being revoked.


  • Three security experts working at Sygnia Consulting and DigitalMint had a profitable little side-hustle: Hacking and extorting their employers' customers. (MSN)

    They are now facing federal prison.


  • Meet the real screen addicts: the elderly. (The Economist)
    Hundreds of teenagers, sometimes strong-armed by their parents, have trooped through the doors of Britain's National Centre for Gaming Disorders since it opened in 2019. Yet lately the publicly funded clinic has admitted a steady trickle of rather different patients. Its specialists in video-game addiction have so far treated 67 people over the age of 40.
    Die in a fire.


  • The Python Software Foundation is going broke. (Lunduke)

    The PSF is facing a funding shortfall of $1.5 million.

    The PSF recently cancelled its own grant request for $1.5 million from the National Science Foundation because the funds would have come with a requirement that it abandon DEI.

    The PSF can also die in a fire. Python will survive.


Musical Interlude



This is apparently another recovered Scopitone reel. The original Scopitone machines are museum pieces now, but they used regular 16mm film and most of the original library has been recovered and converted to digital form.

40 NYT has a map of the boroughs showing who voted for Mamdami vs Cuomo. Queens was more sane than I thought! Look at all that yellow.
Apparently some heavy Jewish areas voted for Mamdami. So sad.

The comments at the site where I saw the map were interesting. The original poster was excited to have Mamdami graduate from the same science charter school. I think he thought he'd get a lot of alumni also excited by the news. The comments mostly blasted Mamdami, though! One said he wants to ban the same charter schools he benefited from. Good point.

The map shows where we have work to do. Someone please clone Scott Pressler and send him there. Scott was so excited about trying to make NJ more red. Alas it was not to be.

Oh, apparently Debra Messing had an anti Mamdami social media post and she's getting pilloried for it. How does it feel to have rabid Trump derangement syndrome and still get canceled, Debra?

It’s an off year election. A lot of people don’t bother.
It’s a given that NYC and NJ will vote Dem.
65% of women voted for Spanberger in VA, add the shutdown and a bunch of angry fed workers in Northern VA and you get blue voters.

I wasn’t surprised, been expecting this since the primaries.

Next November is the real contest.

I'm interested in who Pete Davidson voted for. He's a lefty toolbag, but his dad was killed in the World Trade Center on 9-11, trying to save lives. His dad's death at such a critical age really messed him up. Did Pete actually vote for the guy whose global intifada revels at his dad's death?

49 The "Dave Brubeck" video:

A couple of people have asked how I made this video so here we go -
I took a clip from a 1964 live version of Take Five ( • Dave Brubeck - Take Five ) and made the drum loop by chopping up the intro and turning it from 5/4 into the 3/4 - 4/4 groove that Golden Brown has. The upright bass sound is sequenced from Logic, and the piano part was played in using one of the piano sounds from a Nord Electro 5D. Then I played the sax part over the top (I play a King Zephyr alto and for this I used a hard rubber Yanigasawa mouthpiece rather than my usual bright Guardala).
The video was then edited using the clip I'd taken the drum loop from.

64 Oh! My insulation project worked out well yesterday. I bought a 2 x 2 x 1 square of OwensCorning insulation -- something that felt like styrofoam, but more rigid -- a packet of foam panels especially for insulating window A/C setups, and a knife. Back home, I measured what I needed on the big square, used my pocket knife to cut and then trim, and wedged both pieces in place on either side of the A/C unit. Done; no drafts. I'll return the unopened foam packet and knife today.

I'd hoped to put something similar on the outside, but I'd have to buy another big square ($10), and there really isn't any way to wedge the stuff in place outside.

89 It's interesting to see how few foreign cars there are, relatively speaking, in the QM shows of the '70s. They were set and shot in LA for the most part. Yet the leads drove US cars (all Fords, Mercurys, or Lincolns), as did the other characters -- unless they were shown as wealthy. Then you'd see Mercedes sedans, or the two-seater SLs, usually for the wealthy man's wife.

Not many Saabs or Volvos yet, no Peugeots or Maseratis that I can recall, and very rarely a British car like a Jaguar -- though mostly that would be the famous E-type roadster.

I remembered it from my boyhood, and was pleased to find the show was as much fun for me as an adult. The tone is generally light and sparkly, the leads and guests are good-looking, the cars (normal cars for those days like Thunderbirds and Impalas, not exotic Italian or German cars) are a pleasure to see, and the plots are crisp and fast-moving. There was one story where Stu Bailey and a motley group are stuck on an island -- shades of Lost -- and one with no dialogue whatsoever. Apparently there was a writer's strike at the time, and Roger Smith ("Jeff Spencer"), not a Writer's Guild member, dashed off a fascinating script featuring his character which is utterly carried by notes and physical movement, no dialog at all.

This kind of class and political warfare from the far-left is going to bring about more political assassinations of those on the right, isn't it?

That's the message some conservatives are hearing. You see it on conservative Twitter. People believe leftists want them dead or imprisoned.

In his victory speech, Mamdani said, I think, that in 58 days, he'll be headed to City Hall (to be sworn in, I deduced).

I've wondered that myself. A new burger joint opened up in my neighborhood, but it has an unpronounceable name. Seems to be doing OK, though.

If anyone asks for directions, I have to tell them it's the burger joint next to Subway.

I have to shut the window down and start over. I'm using Brave at the moment. I've had a couple of issues with Firefox and LM 22.2."

My installation is a carry-over/upgrade from many past versions. I'm currently on:
- Linux Mint 22.2 (menu - welcome)
- Cinnamon 6.4.8 (cinnamon --version)
- Kernel 6.8.0-86-generic (uname -a)
- Firefox is version 144.0, mint-001 1.0 sub-version. (Help - About Firefox)

I'm not experiencing any problems, but I've heard that there's differences between upgrading and doing a fresh install in some of the Linux Mint forum posts. This issue might fall into that category if yours is a fresh install.

168 And for those who haven't used NoScript before: By default, it disables javascript on web pages (from any site) until you temporarily or permanently allow that site by clicking on the NoScript logo.

At first, a lot of sites will be utterly broken until you figure out what you need to allow. Some things like doubleclick.net and google-analytics.com you can permanently DISallow (mark as "Untrusted") and their javascript will never run on any page you visit.

Simply searching "What is {domain name}" for any site you don't recognize will tell you whether it's one you want to allow or not. If it's analytics or marketing, you probably want to mark it as "Untrusted".

Brave has automatic blocks for some of the worst offenders out there, whereas in Firefox you need to use extensions for that.

True. One of the sites I have to use for work (provides training videos and testing) must be opened in a Chromium based browser, as it absolutely will not function correctly in Firefox. That's okay, I have Chromium installed as the secondary browser for those rare situations (and they are pretty rare.)

The hell of it is that the generation that elected him really believes the promises he's made. They have no institutional memory of a time when the subway was just a way to get to work or school, and not a petri dish of crazies and criminals.

I'd like to move but can't afford to; I don't drive (didn't I say I was a native?) and all my doctors (I have an entourage now) are here.

203 The only race I considered winnable was NJ. Blue stayed blue, although a couple flips from R to d in GA are worrisome. Haven't been in NYC in decades and will not return. I'm sorry for those of you in the city and those in the balance of the state that will have to bail out the gaping hole of destruction that NYC will become. The destruction will take a bit of time, that said it's coming. Now after that cheerful bit of commentary I'm going to live my life with dignity and hope, easy for me since I live in a rural area in a state that hasn't gone batshit crazy and shouldn't before I go to meet my God and Savior.

I'm not disagreeing with this statement but it demonstrates why the left wins. Leftists treat each election as though a loss means that they will be murdered. The right treats elections with a "I have a preference but life will go on if we lose" mindset. The right's attitude is healthier... until the left kills them because the left's fantasies won't come true.

271 "The idea being that on the ground, maintaining a hard vacuum is difficult and expensive but essential for chip production. In space, though, you can just open a window."

this is also one reason why I think Helion will eventually sell more fusion reactors in space than on the ground

right now they're using 90-foot silica tubes due to the favorable reactivity profile

if you leave those on the ground you can probably fit the reactor into a Starship without even taking much of it apart

unfortunately you probably need a second Starship to lift the caps, but the final ISP for a fusion engine is still crazy enough for interplanetary travel to be feasible... and even near interstellar is plausible

the biggest problem is probably cooling, but even there you're dealing with way less waste heat than other options

Weddings Are Expensive These Days!

Tech Entrepreneur Finances Wedding by Selling Advertisements on His Suit Jacket

doof-wedding-ads.jpg

A broke Frenchman was able to cover the cost of his wedding by selling advertisements on his tuxedo jacket to 26 startups and becoming a human billboard.

French salesman Dagobert Renouf had long been dreaming of marrying his then-fiancée, Anna Plynina, but he was too poor to afford a proper wedding. To put it plainly, he was completely broke and on the verge of homelessness. But that was no reason to deprive his beloved of the wedding she had been dreaming of. Back in July, he posted on X, announcing that he had decided to try and cover the expenses of his nuptials by becoming a human billboard. Any company willing to promote their products or services was willing to buy a slot on his suit jacket. His post went viral, and he ended up with 26 brand names on his jacket and a total of $10,000 in advertising fees.

Clever dude. Check out the whole thing.

Illegal Border Crossing INTO Mexico?

Border Agents Seize Truck Carrying 163 Exotic Reptiles

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers made a major wildlife trafficking bust last week, seizing a truck carrying 163 animals, many of them exotic reptiles, at the Anzalduas International Bridge.

On October 22, CBP officers encountered a silver Toyota truck attempting to exit the U.S. into Mexico. A secondary inspection revealed dozens of reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids concealed within the vehicle. Officials say the animals were hidden in an apparent attempt to smuggle them across the border illegally.

Among the seized wildlife were 24 royal pythons, multiple species of milk snakes and king snakes, various lizards, tree frogs, tarantulas, and several rare python morphs. The driver was arrested, and both the vehicle and the animals were taken into custody. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now handling the investigation.

I have a sufficiently low opinion of the voters in NYC, VA and NJ not to be surprised by the results.

Add to that the Republicans putting up candidates that nobody is going to crawl over broken glass to vote for. Good, grey, dull people who would make good governors but will never have the opportunity to do so.

Are things worse now than when Dinkins took over? I was too young back then to remember the last time they had a socialist mayor.

He's overpromised more things to new Yorkers than a student body officer wannabe trying to get laid by the head cheerleader. Radical islamists, radical LGBT, radical feminists, the homeless, the undocumented, the radical Jews, the students, the old timer hippie boomers alive when Greenwich village still had the Beats doing poetry. We'll have to see if the city council agree with anything he wants and if they can actually get anything done.

Sadly, I don't think he's like Eric Adams who just wanted the perks and none of the work. I think he means to do serious damage.

125 It's not just that the Democrats won in VA and NJ, it's that they won by even bigger margins than they won these races in 2017. Trump is obviously hugely unpopular, but he also had shit approval ratings in his first term, and it didn't lead a result this bad. All we can do is pray this isn't a premonition of the midterms.
Posted by: deepelemblues

This is what I been mulling over. The core Democrat Plantation (Blacks, women, under 30s, Hispanics, college educated) voted between 60% to 90% for the Communist. It also seems that when Trump is not on the ballot that middle that Trump won over revert to their core voting patterns. Based on tonight, the mid-terms could end with House in D hands which would effectively put Trump's last two years in the toilet. Plus impeachments and star chamber investigations. To early to say but...

187 #10? Ill take it. Greetings from Singapore hordlings!

Looks like, once again, Republicans fail to show up in off season elections and the overwhelming and "fortified" voting of northern VA and areas around Richmond and Norfolk are simply too big to overcome.

I had held out some hope in NJ - but northern NJ, particularly Newark and Jersey City areas are simply overrun by left wing lunatics. And, in addition, all of the blue states have had a mass exodus of sane, conservatives who have fled to red states. Thus states like NJ, NY and CA will continue to become even more socialist and insane. This trend will continue. Hence it is imperative that the republicans control the white House for the next census to ensure that we capture the loss of population for these states accurately with reduced congressional representation. Trump's initiatives of turning back the tide of illegal immigration, shrinking the DEIFedGov and destroying the liberal powerbase of NGO's siphoning money off of Uncle Sugar will help/needs to be ramped up. Also - a mid cycle convention is an absolute necessity - this allows Trump and the Repubs national broadcast airtime that cannot be censored.

I think one full month is a good rule of thumb, PI. I suppose it could vary, depending on how much/how often one, uh, partakes.


My former employer began drug testing due to federal contract requirements, in the '80s. Previously, they didn't care.

So D-Day was finally announced, and they said everyone has 30 days to "clean up" and then everybody will be tested.

(Surprisingly, there were *still* a few idiots what got canned for failing.)

Why is it successful this time when it wasn't before? Because now they can find specifics to add to " horrible man". He's in power, he does things. Whatever he does is going to piss some people off. So, emphasize the bad. No credit for the good that other things are, and especially not any good side to the pissing off thing.
You want to see how D's get elected, watch the MSM. Even better, look at Yahoo's news feed. Trump could raise the dead, and their headline would be "Economic Disaster for an Important Industry", with an inside story about a widow with 3 toddlers laid off from her job stitching quilted casket liners.

That’s where it’s headed, which is why for months I’ve said the Democrats cannot be allowed to ever hold power again. Trump needs to ignore the unelected judges and forge ahead. The GOP cucks need to nuke the filibuster and start slashing the gov’t to the bone and pushing through every single act that will mass disenfranchise Democrat voters.

This is the last shot we have to win “by the book”, and it’s being squandered in typical GOP fashion with right-wing infighting and deference to the judiciary while the Democrats go on the war path.

Had the Avanti out on the road again today. Adjusted the TV cable, and it is now shifting properly, but still a little early for my taste. Will adjust again. Made changes to gas pedal, and it is much better. Took out the pressure gauge I had temporarily connected to the line pressure port on the transmission. Wasn't telling me much useful information, and leaked onto the floor. I have shifter out of the car right now. Could not engage the "1" or "2" positions. Needs 2.25" of linear motion on the linkage rod. Lever on shifter moves more than that, but it's geometry is wrong.

Open differential, so maybe just one. The car definitely drives different than it did with the TH350. More jam off the line, and less RPM at cruise. Speedometer is waaay off, but part of that was from going from 3.07 axle to 3.54 axle. I will do some mathematical stuff, and figure out which speedo cable pinion I need to make it work right.

********

It could be an evolutionary path for a new defensive mechanism in cats. Produce poop that is so smelly that it attracts predators who think they're getting an easy meal, then when the predator gets up close and takes a big whiff to verify that the pooper is diseased, the smell takes out the predator's sense of smell completely, leaving the predator unable to hunt using its sense of smell, and so the predator starves to death.

It looks like Mamdani won. Was it Bill Kristol who said he hoped Mamdani would win, just to really show NYC how bad Surprise Dry Anal could be?

I expect Trump, in 2-3 years, to do a Gerald Ford and say NO to bailing out NYC.

Exit question: Is Schumer finished? Does he realise it? I've heard that AOC wants his seat, and I predict she (or Chunkie's opponent) will really play the ShutDown Card, real hard.

I was wrong. CA seems to have really wanted Prop 50. I think the "stick it to Trump" angle really paid off. The turnout in my area really was big, but it looks like a lot of D's were panicked into voting, and many R's and I's though that they could wait. I wonder how many people will realize that they SHOULD HAVE VOTED, even if it meant mailing in their ballots. Well, next time ...

I watch historical 9-11 footage every August, trying to find newly-discovered stuff. The most interesting sub-genre is man-on-the-street reactions.

Yes, there is a lot of racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity there. What strikes me is that NYCers, regardless of those differences, seemed really really work-focused. They're there to earn, and a lot of them seemed like they cared about doing their jobs right, and they liked the intensity of the way they lived. If there was a radical difference among their reactions, it was faint and rare.

I suppose NYC has changed a lot since then. The Muslim pop must have risen, like it has everywhere else, but I don't know by how much.

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at November 05, 2025 12:24 AM (l3YAf)

It’s always been a mess but generally 1/2 is free market and half is rent assisted or controlled. And the rent controlled ones are passed down through generations. Think Friends scenario where Monica lived in the apartment her grandmother once lived in and was affordable. That’s very common which also distorts the market.

Overall NY real estate is retarded as can be.

Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director

Don't know. However, it seems that expanding rent control and then freezes to the unregulated rent market has to be a priority. With that in place landlords would stop maintaining properties and slowly go bankrupt, and because nobody in their right mind would be such property that leaves NYC government in a key position to condemn these distressed properties and take them over. That has to be more complicated that that but seems to be the backbone to break.

469 There's one piece of good news on this election night.

In my town of Easton CT, our long-shot Republican candidate overcame tremendous odds - in the form of a scion of a CT heating oil fortune and the proprietor of the most popular gathering spot in our town - to win election to First Selectman (equivalent to mayor) in a majority Democrat town, beating an incumbent administration. It took a lot of late nights, knocking on doors in town with no sidewalks, and frantically calling people at home with two hours left of voting from a crowded library conference room.

The rest of the state (or at least Fairfield County) got killed this election cycle. Our town may be the one bright spot in the state elections. Just got back from celebrating, and I'm ready for bed. It feels good, however. Our candidate won by less than 10 votes. It's going to a recount, but I still feel good.

Get out and vote folks. It really makes a difference.

I hope Trump is up to the deportation task. Also the lawsuits to force this state to cough up SNAP data. Also the lawsuits to end the DEI madness. This state needs to be lawfared numb.

493 By a huge margin, it seems: about 64%/36%...almost 2/3rds voted YES on this turd. Kalifornia is truly lost.

People here ignore just how badly Trump grates on a great number of Americans. Even those who agree with his positions.

Its just how personality works. Vance, if given the chance, will make Trump appear moderate. Yet he won't elicit nearly the widespread knee-jerk reaction of Trump.

494 I've had rentals, some were OK some a pain in rear. Later, clear of rent property I purchased a bank owned property. The broker told me it took the bank 6 months to evict squatters in the garage apt.

That was the knell. If it took a bank 6 months a peon would go broke clearing their property. The laws are upside down.

@AlexDuncanTX
This is exactly how elections are stolen. This man is openly bragging about how he arrived in NYC two days ago and is not a resident or citizen, yet he was able to still go cast a vote for jihadi Mamdani.

I’m not a U.S. citizen or even a resident

And I will continue to live in Paradise, far far away from this madness and stupidity. I will live with my own stupidity and enjoy it, thank you very much.

So they also had dc heaters that you’d plug into your bomber B-24 or whatever. And you could see the copper mesh pattern sewn in was really doubled up over the groinular region. The flight crews wrote complaining about that mentioning you better be real cold. A real crotchpot cooker.

He's also going through an "I'm too rational for religion and to believe in God" phase right now. Not pressuring him, just giving nudges about how emotion, and thinking with your heart and the spirit is as important as thinking with your head. And science isn't infallible.

49 Polar Bears have been known to starve to death on an ice floe rather than encounter, much less eat, a penguin. The bear's sensitive olfactory organs become inflamed when they detect even the slightest whiff of the mephitic marauders approach. The repulsed ursines have been known to waste away, riding a melting iceberg for thousands of miles to escape the encroaching Sphenisciformes.

Big Fairfax dump, which is voting like it's a Trump election and not a state election (closer to 80-20 vs 65-35) - not a surprise with the way Trump has handled fed gov all year (it's why all seats were a 10pt plus D fave on a generic ballot 2 months ago)...33% Fairfax in, 22% state overall, so it's early. Gov is lost, but each seat below is losing 4% and 8% of Abigail's votes, so how big she wins determines if Ds hold either of the other 2 seats.

He wouldn’t go on to be grilled by an actual reporter and answer questions, even though I now find out that he had a hand in which questions would be asked and what they would put out on the air. Excuse me, I don’t think he would have shown up at “60 Minutes” if he was in better shape. So we have hope he will be out soon.”

Griffin: “Well the elections is in 2028.”

Behar: “Listen I think he should be in jail, frankly, and personally if they would be doing their job they would be indicting him or at least impeaching him. He’s been crossing boundaries all over the place, this guy. So maybe he won’t last till the next election.”

AKA - you can't win the state if you lose fed gov and defense industry that big...

Dems did play the shutdown right as the cherry on top of the year to get VA Gov...although, to be fair, with all the fed gov cuts pre shutdown, it probably didn't matter. The only thing that moved the race closer at all was Jay Jones...

You are correct, sir! He won both of his terms with about 63% of the vote. So he's served 1-1/2 terms.

But:

2022 Election: A day after redistricted maps were revealed, Hunt announced his intention to run in the new, solidly Republican 38th district.

In January 2023, at the beginning of the 118th U.S. Congress, Hunt supported Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

Hunt was among the 71 Republicans who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.

Top of ticket ultimately was a pocket book election. And Rs could not win that in VA or NJ. I'm not sure they could win that anywhere right now, b/c middle class pocketbooks have not yet gotten better...maybe not worse, but it was really sucky at Biden end, and there hasn't been a lot of up movement yet, at least feelable up movement. As I explain to many, just b/c the inflation rate goes down, prices don't, and years of Biden inflation compounded the pain more and more, especially with no wage growth or job growth...2025 then feels worse than 2024 which felt worse than 2023.

Trump was winning non pocketbook issues, but that doesn't ultimately win elections, where people vote self interest 1st most often.

Election Report from the South SF Bay area in CA:

The turnout for this pre-midterm election is very much heavier in my area than for any election I've seen since the early-90's.

The line to get in to get a ballot (3 servers IIRC, with an ID, computer look-up and Signature the only actions to get a ballot), normally 3-5, occasionally 10-15, was perhaps 40 when I arrived and expanded to perhaps 60 while I was still in line.

Also when I was in line, perhaps 10 people showed up to submit their mail-in ballots, and perhaps one more for their spouse (I believe this).

This seems surprising, as only a non-partisan Assessor position. one County measure and one State proposition are on the ballot. But, the State Proposition is Prop 50.

I have the feeling that Prop 50 is going to crash and burn ( 45 YES / 55 NO or worse ). I think that the state-wide commercial (TV & YouTube) by Gov-Got-Nuthin-Nazi-Pelozi-The Dog-Eater-In-Chief and the Little Bartender (AOC) have really turned off a lot of people.

The vanity ad by Tom Steyer really didn't help the D's either.

Back in my younger days when I did the comic-con and fandom stuff, I had a bunch of socialist left friends. I mentioned one day to some of them that it's horrible that someone in the entertainment industry would discriminate based on politics.

Very matter of facts, they were like oh no, you definitely should. No republican should have a job in Hollywood.

Even if they are the kindest nicest person ever?

If they are the kindest nicest person ever, they aren't a republican.

Needless to say I dropped out of that friend group.

Unless Plasti-Dip has improved the formula, I wouldn't bet on it lasting very long on hand weights. Plus: expensive!

Probably better to either:
>re-glue the original neoprene coverings
--or--
>peel off the neoprene completely and suggest gloves for gripping the weights

You could try the dip, of course... just be sure to *thoroughly clean and degrease* (skin oils are grease) the weights before dipping. Have a place to hang them up while coating cures fully before use.

People forward these to friends. When the friends click on them, they're likewise targeted. It's (ugh, how I hate the word) "viral."

Better than Viagra? Forwarded. Neuropathy cream? Send it. Weird-ass foam "sex-couch" thing? Send to spouse.

Of course, it makes you a junkie briefly, but you just wean back onto the football/resisting arrest/puppies/Karen/cooking videos.

I have no doubt if and when Democrats get back in power they will nuke the filibuster completely instead of just for judges.

According to intertubes, Kalifornia has 9 Republican representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives; that's out of a total of 52, or 17%. What's being done won't change much, but they just have to do it...while wasting $100s of millions for this election (no other ballot issues).

I know nothing of Virginia politics, but it seems that Trump interrupting the fed gov and NGO gravy trains may have pissed a lot of people off.

If so, maybe an acceptable tradeoff, unless you live in VA. We may see the same response here in CA to Trump going to war with the state. Doesn't mean he shouldn't, but it won't be great for us in CA if we have even less sane representation.

402 Those of you on X who follow Data Republican should read her thread on Democrats structural advantage in low turnout midterm type elections. We talk about Soros a lot but there are other large Democrat funders such as the Ford Foundation which pours billions into Democrat GOTV groups in races like this. We have basically nothing like it.

It's not the only reason. Obviously, states like NY and VA and the mayors race in NYC are Democrat strongholds. But having billions to spend on GOTV helps a lot.

Not sure if any conclusion can be drawn yet but it would seem that its more than plausible that the Ds could take back control of the House in a year which would monkey wrench Trump's presidency.

Quick Hits

Representative Brandon Gill has filed articles of impeachment against rogue communist "judge" Boasberg.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) will formally introduce articles of impeachment against radical left-wing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for what he calls the judge's "corrupt and unethical" role in the so-called Arctic Frost investigation.


...


The articles of impeachment accuses Boasberg of authorizing unconstitutional subpoenas and nondisclosure orders as part of the FBI's Arctic Frost probe, which, of course, was signed off by Special Counsel Jack Smith. These orders targeted Republican members of Congress--including Sens. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Marsha Blackburn--while they were engaged in their official legislative duties, violating Article I protections.

Boasberg is also accused of allowing the DOJ to bar AT&T from informing Senator Cruz about a subpoena for his records for at least a year, citing baseless claims that Cruz might destroy evidence or intimidate witnesses. The resolution argues Boasberg's actions directly violated 2 U.S.C. sec. 6628, which protects Senate offices from such secret orders.

The resolution further alleges that Boasberg enabled politically motivated subpoenas against conservative organizations like the Conservative Partnership Institute and America First Policy Institute, as well as individuals such as Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Jenna Ellis--suggesting the court was weaponized to suppress political opponents.

The resolution concludes that Boasberg's conduct demonstrates a "pattern of impropriety" and a failure to uphold constitutional limits, making him unfit to serve and warranting removal from office. Amen!

Boasberg has faced mounting criticism for months over his blatantly partisan injunctions against the Trump administration--rulings that many legal experts say have no constitutional foundation. Previous attempts to rein in his judicial overreach and impeach Boasberg earlier this year fizzled out, but this latest effort has real momentum behind it.

Nothing will happen until Congress begins subpoenaing these courts to determine how the alleged "random assignment of judges" ALWAYS results in hard-left judges being assigned to the most politically-sensitive cases.

If they do so, they will find the courts and clerks are conspiring to very non-randomly assign the Democrats' most cherished lawsuits to their most reliable communist judges.

Feds prevented 6,525 suspected or known terrorists from entering the US this year.

In a few short months, the National Counterterrorism Center says it's helped prevent 6,525 known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) from entering the U.S.

This is after U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Border Patrol officers apprehended a record more than 3,000 KSTs in the U.S. illegally in fiscal 2025, according to CBP data.

Until this year, the greatest number of KSTs CBP and Border Patrol agents were apprehended during the Biden administration: 1,903.

The majority, 64%, totaling 1,216, were apprehended at the northern border coming from Canada between fiscal years 2021-2024, according to CBP data, The Center Square first reported.

Huh, the Biden Administration barely stopped any terrorists from entering via the southern border. What a surprise. I am shock.

GOP Senators introduce legislation to codify Antifa as a terrorist organization.

The Stop ANTIFA Act has been introduced by U.S. Sens. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, which would direct the National Joint Terrorism Task Force to investigate Antifa.

The president's executive order designating Antifa a domestic terror organization came a week after The Center Square posed the question to Trump in the Oval Office, following a rise in left-wing violence, including the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.

The president's executive order describes the group as a "militarist, anarchist enterprise," which calls for the overthrow of the federal government, especially targeting law enforcement.


...

Moody echoed the president's executive order, underscoring the group's continual targeting of law enforcement.

"Violent extremists who target our law enforcement officers and destroy our communities must be held accountable. It's far past time to designate Antifa a terrorist organization. The Stop ANTIFA Act makes it clear that organized violence has no place in America," Moody said in a news release.

Both Democrat candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia:
-- are women
-- have served their country
-- have daughters

Yet they consistently vote against measures that protect girl's & women's opportunities, privacy, and safety. Remarkable.

Commenters wondered about this:

Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke


The fact that highly incriminating documents, including Comey's handwritten notes showing he knew from the start that the Russia collusion story was a Clinton campaign hoax, were found in burn bags inside a locked, unused SCIF at FBI headquarters is deeply strange and has bothered me since it first came to light. There are a few possible explanations. One is that a quiet "whistleblower" deliberately preserved them, knowing they were too explosive to destroy. Another is a straightforward bureaucratic failure, where destruction was authorized but never actually carried out. Yet another possibility is that the "unused" SCIF was secretly serving as an off-the-books storage site to hide sensitive materials from oversight, allowing them to disappear without being formally destroyed, and that when the old guard left, the stash was simply forgotten. There may be other explanations too. My best guess is that this was a bureaucratic blunder of the same kind that once worked in their favor, like when they forgot to close the Gen. Flynn case, which allowed them to target Flynn in January 2017 without having to open a new one. This time, the mistake caught up with them.

Chip Roy

CAIR must be stripped of 501c3 status

Exclusive: Chip Roy introduces bill to strip 'absurd' tax-exempt status from CAIR, other groups with terrorist ties

As Roy says, I don't even know how they've kept their status as an American "charity" through all these years of funding terrorism.

'We should have ended this long ago.'

Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas is leading the charge to ensure Americans are no longer "inadvertently subsidizing" groups with terrorist links, Blaze News learned.

Roy introduced legislation Tuesday that would eliminate the tax-exempt status for extremist groups with close ties to terrorist organizations, according to bill text obtained exclusively by Blaze News. Roy is setting his sights on groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has been found to have ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and even Hamas.

'This must end.'

"It is absurd that the U.S. has provided organizations with ties to terrorism tax-exempt status in the U.S. -- resulting in the American people inadvertently subsidizing terror against themselves," Roy told Blaze News.

"It is ridiculous, and we should have ended this long ago," he continued.


More surprises: When men outnumber women in an industry, it's called "inequality."

When women outnumber men, it's called... "parity." Equality.

I didn't know this: the UK is so totalitarian they prosecuted Tommy Robinson for terrorism, for exposing Muslim rape gangs.

He was acquitted today (or yesterday).

In case you missed it: Big Brother Corporation, I mean the BBC, has been exposed for chopping and editing Trump's words to make it sound like he was telling J6 protesters to go to the Capitol and "fight, fight like hell."

Prayers for Scott Adams, and I hope Trump can get him the experimental drug he's requesting.

Scott Adams
@ScottAdamsSays

On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it.

I need it.

As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.

My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can't seem to fix that.

I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.

It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.

31 England seems to come through. In the 30s and 40s, nazism was so mainstream that a the King of England himself was palling around with hitler, Chamberlain signed the peace of our time with hitler, and Ribbentrop slept around with British high society. But then came Churchill. In the 1970s the UK was in the worst possible shape, and then Thatcher came through. We shall see. They are of the same stock as we are , so won't go down like the rest of Europe. At least not without a fight.

32 There was a tanker that crashed into North Wichita a very long time ago. One of the crew's last actions before they all died was to dump all the fuel. If they hadn't of done that the resulting fire and damage to that part of the city would have been horrific. Some of the people who owned the homes that were dowsed in fuel attempted to sue McConnel for damaging their siding and paint.

49 >> Both Democrat candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia:
-- are women
-- have served their country
-- have daughters

Yet they consistently vote against measures that protect girl's & women's opportunities, privacy, and safety. Remarkable.

And both represent their AWFL demographic and the Democrat Party incredibly well. They are underwhelming, not very intelligent, promoted well beyond their capabilities, not at all imaginative or original on their thoughts, obedient in their servitude to anything destructive, unable to factual debate on the issues, extraordinarily rote in their thinking and remarkably good at doing what they are told. People suffer because incapable jokes such as these are in positions of power. But hey, don’t worry.

121 Nothing will happen until Congress begins subpoenaing these courts to determine how the alleged "random assignment of judges" ALWAYS results in hard-left judges being assigned to the most politically-sensitive cases.

If they do so, they will find the courts and clerks are conspiring to very non-randomly assign the Democrats' most cherished lawsuits to their most reliable communist judges.

Posted by: Delurker at November 04, 2025 06:52 PM (NhiOW)

I think the disgruntled agent theory makes the most sense - was told to shred, gathered everything up and then stuck it in a scif and told the boss the matter was "taken care of." Maybe gave a note to the incoming admin to take a look in said scif. Thus, keeps his head down but still makes sure the truth comes to light.

Posted by: moki at November 04, 2025 06:58 PM (wLjpr)

132 Colorado too.
Colorado has tighter budgets than most because of TABOR. It's been sliding by because it's on the 40th parallel with its major airport, and because of all the rich people paying the (low) income tax, which adds up when you get that rich.
But the Democrats are spending so much in CO they're getting by from Federal support..

Colorado had two amendments to tax those rich folks more this year. One to skirt the TABOR and not refund excess money collected for free meals for all kids in public schools from a bill they got passed previously and one to limit itemized deductions for state taxes for rich folks (over 300K income) to expand the free meals and for SNAP. I voted no, but both measures will probably pass since "only rich people are hit by this tax"

Extra off-putting to me that the 'tax' is by capping deductions, commies really hate people making their own decisions on what kind of charity to support.

I think the disgruntled agent theory makes the most sense - was told to shred, gathered everything up and then stuck it in a scif and told the boss the matter was "taken care of." Maybe gave a note to the incoming admin to take a look in said scif. Thus, keeps his head down but still makes sure the truth comes to light.

Climate Change: CBS Fires Almost Its Entire "Climate Change" Unit

LOLLLLLL

lolololol

This liberal is very Sad!

Americans who rely on broadcast networks for honest journalism suffered a painful loss this week, as CBS News -- fresh off its acquisition by Skydance Media and the installation of anti-woke opinion writer Bari Weiss as editor in chief -- fired most of the reporters who specialize in covering climate change.

CBS owner Paramount began laying off about 1,000 employees across the broader company Wednesday, delivering a big chunk of the cost savings that Skydance CEO David Ellison promised investors. The CBS climate team's decimation was confirmed to me by three people who requested anonymity. Not all of them work at Paramount.

Of the six-person team, four lost their jobs, effective Friday. A fifth person may yet be reassigned to non-climate stories, my sources believed. National environment correspondent David Schechter kept his job.

The layoffs are especially devastating because CBS was a climate leader among the national TV networks, becoming an early member of the global media collaboration Covering Climate Now and producing vital work.

In June, for instance, CBS Evening News aired a segment on worsening heat-related health dangers for pregnant women.

Let me guess: Pregnant women people hardest hit?

AI Overview

Pregnancy heat risk days on the rise, new report finds ...

CBS reported in June 2025 that climate change is increasing the risks for pregnant women due to hotter temperatures, with a specific focus on a report that found climate change has nearly doubled the number of "pregnancy heat-risk days" in the U.S.. These risks include dehydration, heat stroke, and a higher chance of complications like preterm birth. The report highlighted that many states offer little to no guidance on heat safety for expectant mothers.

Key points from CBS reports

Increased heat-risk days: A Climate Central analysis discussed by CBS found that climate change has nearly doubled the number of days each year that pose a risk for pregnant women due to heat.

Specific risks: Extreme heat can increase the risk of dehydration, heat stroke, and heat exhaustion in pregnant women. It can also lead to more serious complications, such as preterm birth.

Why pregnant women are more vulnerable: Pregnancy puts added stress on the heart, increases blood volume, and makes women more prone to dehydration, which is exacerbated by high temperatures.

Lack of state guidance: A CBS News report noted that most states provide little to no specific heat safety guidance for pregnant women.

LOL. How did I guess that?

Just this month, the network partnered with KFF Health News to show how hospitals are facing increasingly severe flood risks.

Oh, they "partnered" with the left-wing organization Kaiser Family Foundation, which plants left-wing story in the "nonpartisan" media?

And was the story, by any chance -- Hospitals, sick people hardest hit?

Yup!

At least 170 U.S. hospitals face major flood risk. Experts say Trump is making it worse.


October 1, 2025 / 6:00 AM EDT / KFF Health News

Louisville, Tenn. -- When a big storm hits, Peninsula Hospital could be underwater.

At this decades-old psychiatric hospital on the edge of the Tennessee River, an intense storm could submerge the building in 11 feet of water, cutting off all roads around the facility, according to a sophisticated computer simulation of flood risk.

Aurora, a young woman who was committed to Peninsula as a teenager, said the hospital sits so close to the river that it felt like a moat keeping her and dozens of other patients inside. KFF Health News agreed not to publish her full name because she shared private medical history.

"My first feeling is doom," Aurora said as she watched the simulation of the river rising around the hospital. "These are probably some of the most vulnerable people."

Beautiful. Perfect.

No notes.

I guessed accurately again. I'm on fire!

Back to the sob story about the Climate Change Unit being fired.

The climate team also arranged training sessions for local CBS affiliates, hosting virtual seminars where CBS journalists across the country could learn to cover global warming. Mb>In the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, the climate team worked with local CBS affiliates to produce a series of web stories and TV segments exploring why congressional Republicans had voted against clean energy investments, even as polling showed strong local support for climate action.

That kind of journalism matters -- in part because the people who watch broadcast news tend to be older and more likely to vote.

"CBS is one of the most important voices in the American media. If they're not going to be covering climate change, that's a problem," Hertsgaard said.

So the main point of the unit was... electioneering and propagandizing people to vote for Democrats?

Yes, I agree. Thank you for admitting it.


A Paramount spokesperson didn't respond to my request for comment about why the company gutted the network's climate team, and whether CBS will still prioritize climate coverage going forward.

Here is the Real Logo of the CBS Climate Change unit.

This is not a joke. I found this at "Heated," a left-wing climate catstrophism blog.

So this is "journalism," according to these unabashed political actors:

10 While I am glad to finally see some rejection of the "climate change" scam, I am holding off on celebration until we see a major shakeup at NOAA. Trump should have eliminated the entire agency after they were caught red-handed systematically lying about climate data. Strip out the National Weather Service and anything else genuinely useful and otherwise get rid of it.

That's my marker. "Major purges and reorientation at NOAA" is *the* bellwether, in my opinion, This development is good, but those are the bastards directing policy on it.

So this isn't all that surprising. In recent days we've heard MSNBC exhorting the Party that climate change is a toxic topic, and that people's opinion of climate change rhetoric ranges from apathy to aggressive antipathy.

And of course, the thing with Bill Gates saying "we need to pivot with regard to the investments in our portfolio of evil, and invest heavily in economic colonization while pursuing our bioweapons initiatives - people have figured out we're trying to starve them, so it's time work toward enslaving them and infecting them with our shiny new diseases."

The signal has gone out - "our new reading of Marxism says we should call a moratorium on these job-killing initiatives that cost us so dearly among the laboring portion of our generally shiftless coalition."

I had both of my children in Summer. When it gets hot, you move to a cooler environment - air conditioned space, shade, and wear appropriate clothing. Stay hydrated. Make your husband fetch/haul something out in the heat.

Ta da! There's your guidance. What do I win?

Had my first in November and he was, of course, 10dys late & an ounce or two shy of 10lbs. I suffered for him. Frat boys mooed at me crossing the street once, & had I not been so huge I would have leaped into their convertible & given them a beating. I scared my husband crying about the mooing & he laughed.Then I laughed.

My old car broke down & I left it in the street I was so hot & didn't care. My mother got tears in her eyes at the airport while I was stuck in a turnstile. In labor the L&D nurses thought I was having twins due to picking up 2 heartbeats, which freaked us out.

My husband bought a window unit for the 100yr old house & our bedroom. I was only happy in a pool & floating.

Other son was born in May, a perfect solution to pregnancy is to get it done on Labor Day in September, after hiking a mountain, playing in a waterfall, & a lot of beer.

If it's a total loss then the tariffs he's imposed get undone, or have to pass through congress. I think the SCOTUS argument is only over a subset.

The case is about one specific enabler of the tariffs. If this gets shot down, he’ll do another. Even the judges who found against him acknowledged there were other ways to do it. That’s why foreign countries are bending over backward to do tariff deals. If this case could potentially shut down ALL Trump’s powers to impose tariffs, they would be playing a waiting game.

_______________________________

Vital for whom?

Anyway...here's an interesting perspective. Suppose in your free time you inadvertently stumble across a brand new form of renewable energy that is 100% beneficial to the ecosphere, limitless, and relatively easy to apply to all forms of human necessities (transportation, heating, cooling, manufacturing etc.)

What do you think happens the second you announce this miracle to the rest of the world. Here's my prediction:

1. The Government steals the patent under eminent domain and pays you as little as possible for your discovery under a liberal view of "fair compensation."

2. The patent and schematics are provided to a limited number of manufacturing companies with political cronies sitting on the Board of Directors. Various Congressmen and women immediately invest in those companies.

3. At least 12 different parties materialize out of the ether claiming that you stole their idea. This is made more complicated by the inclusion of foreign governments adding support to those parties.

4. The Environmental Movement immediately transforms back the Global Cooling scenario.

212 I dated, and was briefly engaged to, a Namibian woman while I was in Germany. We didn't have the internet at the time, so my family thought I was dating a black woman, when I called/wrote home. They were cool about it, I guess. Then I mailed a Polaroid of us together back home and they were super-enthusiastic. She looked like Lady Diana, who at the time was considered hot. I broke up with her, but I still think of that once in a while. What if I had married her and moved to Windhoek, Namibia rather than Worcester, MA? What a different life I would have had. I know I'd be rich as Croesus, but I'd be living in a walled compound.

Unconstitutional if unilaterally imposed by the President without Congressional approval. Trump is end-running the process by claiming it's a state of emergency (the loophole that allows him to act alone).

221 The case is about one specific enabler of the tariffs. If this gets shot down, he’ll do another. Even the judges who found against him acknowledged there were other ways to do it. That’s why foreign countries are bending over backward to do tariff deals. If this case could potentially shut down ALL Trump’s powers to impose tariffs, they would be playing a waiting game.

When she's dolled up, she's stunning. A quick Google search pulls up amazing pics of her. Taylor swift and half of the lovely ladies out there would not be half so lovely if denied their makeup and stylists. Her cheekbones are fantastic.

She downplays her beauty. Minimal makeup and styling. She always has yoga hair, like she just came back from hot yoga and pulled it back into a bun or ponytail. I wish she'd do something with it! But she's also a mom with several kids, so I'll cut her some slack.

All of this defending her beauty is of course separate from her cray cray. I've had fun listening to Mormon podcasters wade into her bee conspiracy theories. They find it as stupid as I do.

IQ of 175 is 5 standard deviations above the mean (100), or about 1 in 3.5million.

Women's Soccer League Player Says That the Women's Soccer League Should be Reserved for Women; Her PC Woke Beesh Teammates Attack Her

OK, so you don't want a league.

You can play with the men, in that case.

Just kidding, a local Dallas middle school boys' team -- 15 and under -- absolutely wrecked the women's national team in two straight games. You won't even be riding the bench, you'll be in the stands, watching, hoping that the cute boys notice you.

Keep the W in the National Women's Soccer League.

That was a simple ask from Angel City FC veteran Elizabeth Eddy in an op-ed for The Post last week.

The pro athlete argued, with both common sense and compassion, that her league needs to develop a standard -- as many other athletic governing bodies have -- to ensure the NWSL only fields biological women.

The issue of keeping female sports female has become an 80/20 issue in our country, so I don't think people understood just how ballsy it was for Eddy to enter the fray.

...

And so Eddy's teammates quickly denounced her op-ed.

But did they debate her proposal by using reason and substance? Nah, they just accused Eddy of being transphobic and racist.

Angel City captains Sarah Gordon and Angelina Anderson both addressed the piece in a press conference -- and the team's X account shared the video from that, posting: "Our captains spoke with courage and clarity. No one in our community should be questioned, harassed or targeted because of their identity."

What identity has to do with keeping fairness in women's sports is beyond me. Are you a biological woman, or are you a biological man?

None of that mattered to Gordon, who said the team is "hurt."

"And they are harmed by the article. And also they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article ... We don't agree with the things written for a plethora of reasons," she said, adding that the "undertones come across as transphobic and racist."

As a person of mixed race, Gordon added, it particularly hurt her.

Um, why would being of a "mixed race" mean genetic testing for sex be particularly hurtful?

I think this idiot means that any genetic testing -- like, to determine your race -- is racist. But this isn't about testing for race.

Adam Carolla played a clip of these idiots talking. Amusingly -- before he viewed the clip -- Carolla predicted that she would say "speaking as a mixed race woman..." and then, boom, she did just that.

If women, blacks, and "mixed race women" are so "marginalized," why do they rush to play their Identity Trump Cards as if those cards confer on them massive advantages?

Related: A Kennebukport Karen, and "member of the Select Chair Board," whatever that is -- some kind of school body -- objects to people who want to reserve girls sports and girls locker rooms for -- get this -- girls.

She claims that anyone who disagrees has, get this, "pedophilic tendencies."

AOC and the rest of the morons are fond of this argument. They claim that people who don't want transgender men showing their dicks to their little daughters are just "obsessed with what kids have between their legs." They claim that there is no way to verify someone's sex apart from forcing them to strip for a close visual inspection -- thus, the claim that anyone who wants to keep men out of girl's changing areas is someone with "pedophilic tendencies" who just wants to look a little girls' and little boys' genitals.

No matter how many times it is pointed out that it is easy to determine someone's sex without inspecting their genitals -- 1, look at their birth certificate and the sex they were "assigned" at birth by a doctor who already inspected the genitals, 2, simple cheek-swab test for sex chromosomes, 3, just by simply looking at them because these people DO NOT PASS AS THE OPPOSITE GENDER, EVEN UPON CASUAL VIEWING -- they continue to insist the only way to tell if a girl is a girl is to have her strip naked and look up her vagina.

This is their retard-level attempt at an UNO reverse on the "groomer" label.

Related: AWFL Karenning intensifies.

Kinda sort barely related: Idiot woke actress Jennifer Lawrence says she thinks she's done talking about politics because it alienates the audience. She reasons that if she makes a film that is so powerful in its messaging it will "change the world" -- note, no movie is so powerful, and such a movie would not star Katniss Everdeen/Reboot Mystique even if it did exist -- she wants people to be open to its mesmerizing message and not discounting it just because Dis Bitch Can't Shut Her Mouf About Trump.

Note that the beginning of the Adam Carolla clip I linked above is about Jennifer Lawrence's sudden realization that if she wants to remain employable, she should stop insulting half of the potential audience.

17 And we can move beyond Candace Ovens and whether she's attractive or not and go to Jennifer Lawrence in this one. I'll start.

If the scale is 1-10, and we can't choose 7, that puts rating Jennifer in a difficult position because I'm not sure she has enough "there...there" to push her up from the 6's and into the 8s. I'm going to say 6. A Denny's 6. An Olive Garden 6. Nice...enough.

If there was a clip that said "Trump endorsed Winsome" she would lose. Trump is and has been TOXIC in VA. He is everything VA LIV hate about politicians. They will only vote gentlepersons.

He is playing the politics right, as is she, to give her the best chance. Those who need to know, know he backs her. Those who don't, don't.

TBH no one cares in any real sense anymore. Its not like she isn't getting role X because she got nekkid.

But I do not want to hear her complain in another 10 years she can't get roles because Hollywood discriminates against older women.

82 "Hurt". "Harmed".

Offense is not harm.

Disagreement is certainly not harm.

But harm may be countered with harm in even the most crude systems of morality. So frame anything you please as "harm" so that you can justify ever increasing atrocities against anyone who dares oppose even your slightest whim or fancy.

97 Ain't no thing as a transgender. There is male (born that way). There is female (born that way). There are hermaphrodites (born that way and usually their chromosomes will indicate if they are male or female despite the multiple sex organs).

Then there are males PRETENDING to be females through costumes, behavior, and in some cases, cosmetic surgery. There are females PRETENDING to be male by the same process.

98 I think just about all men agree - if Women won't stand up for women's sports, why should we bother? Never cared about them much anyways, and if we go back to a pre-1940's standard for participation that's fine by me.
Pre-1940's - sports are for the strongest and most fit.
After Title 9 - men's sports are for the strongest and most fit; women's sports are special and exist to make girls feel empowered.
After Tranny's - "women's" sports are for weak men who want to make themselves feel good by beating up on women.
Transition - all tranny sports die off because nobody wants to actually see that shit.
Final resolution - same as pre-1940's, sports are for the strongest and most fit.

I want the Indiana girls basketball state semi-finals to be four teams of boys. The "trans" girls will have to take some crap from crazy Leftists, but they can just say they are supporting important principles.

Eventually, the parents and female athletes on the correct side of the 80/20 issue will return their sports to biological females only.

110 Note that the beginning of the Adam Carolla clip I linked above is about Jennifer Lawrence's sudden realization that if she wants to remain employable, she should stop insulting half of the potential audience.

Before Mother, I think, Lawrence declared she did not want Trump supporters seeing her films. Her agent or some other PR flak walked that back for her not long afterward. But I've been content to honor her request. I never go see her films now. I'll only watch them if they are streaming for "free" on some service I'm already receiving. She can stick her career rethink where the sun don't shine.

114 Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC

I had the privilege and pleasure of knowing Vice President Cheney personally and professionally for many years. We spent a lot of time hunting together, and during the course of our political lives, we interacted often. I enjoyed his company tremendously and always believed he was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known.

On foreign policy, he was unashamedly aggressive against the forces who meant harm to the United States. He had a unique ability to handle criticism from all corners of the political spectrum. This is best explained by his tremendous sense of confidence in who he was and what he believed. When that self-confidence clashed with members of both parties, he was unshaken.

Vice President Cheney lived a life of few regrets. I appreciate his decades of service to our country. My prayers are with Lynne and his entire family whom he loved dearly.

Sure. That's a part of it.

But women have made men's clubs in *general* illegal. Even if they *do* want to defend it themselves, why should I join them when they refuse to allow male-only organizations to exist?

I find the invasion of dudes in dresses into womens' sports repugnant, but I can't get worked up about it. The women themselves largely don't care (or won't say they do, for fear of eviction from the coven) and they sure as shit won't insist that male-only organizations are acceptable.

145 I have never seen the attraction of Lawrence. She's not ugly, but not gorgeous, and in a crowd she'd blend in. Bland, hooded eyes. This is my opinion as a former supermodel.

She wins an Oscar for a movie I didn't see. Famously trips to get the award, or this was Gwenneth-poo who also applies to what I am saying (altho she's a nepo baby and maybe did not trip). If US elections are rigged, what would stop Oscar elections, eh?

Then Weinstein and #MeToo and both of them won Oscars under (literally) his production company. Instead of a casting couch he wore a robe and they went to his hotel room. I might have been totally innocent but I would not go to his hotel room (well, unless Mel Gibson asked me to meet him, then I would).

Neither of these two nor Meryl said one bad word against Weinstein. Ever, that I am aware of. Then I figured out why Lawrence's star rose quickly and she and steamed vaj won Oscars.

While we will never know, I connected the nasty dots.

They don't believe they will die alone in a nursing home with strangers who don't speak English taking care of them, but they will.

Tell me they've never been an a locker room that allows children without telling me they've never been in a locker room that allows children.

Every single - women's - locker room I've ever been in where children are allowed have signs that say kids of either sex are allowed if they are below a certain age, usually five or seven, and if they are older that that they should use the locker room corresponding to the kid's own sex.

177 Since this is a sorta movie thread now...

We saw "Begonia", which is a remake of a Korean movie, "Save the Green Planet". I barely remembered STGP, which is usually not a good sign, but I like the actors involved, so we thought we'd take a chance.

The story concerns two guys who are convinced that a woman CEO of a pharmaceutical company is an alien from Andromeda and trying to enslave the human race/destroy the world. So, they kidnap her and hold her prisoner until she confesses to being an alien and allows them negotiate with the alien Emperor.

Great acting all around. Surprisingly tight if very talky script. Very dark comedy/drama with some good laughs. Very well directed. Strongly resembles the sort of movie you might've seen in the 70s. You'll probably know the ending before they get there.

This is one of those movies that is almost impossible to recommend because it is very weird and makes no excuses for its weirdness and it's rather downbeat. The weird thing about it is that it sorta places two almost exactly the same progtard points of views in conflict. That sound boring but it's not. Probably cuz of the excellent acting jobs from Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone.

That's all she was really saying there. Not that she has any change of heart, or that she doesn't still hate me and everyone like me.

Just that viewing audiences hate her and her coworkers more than they hate the Right, and when she runs her jizztrap, more them vote for the Right than if she just swallowed and shut up.

234 Michael Jordan is still very rich. Maybe not billionaire status, but he can see it from his mansion. Most athletes, albeit very rich now, will be on Broke pt5 on ESPN at some point because stoopid. Sadly, I think Lebron Jame$ is smart enough to not make dumb financial decisions, though he's not that bright (being generous).

______________________________

Jordan is worth very close to about $4 Billion. He's, also, very sharp financially (ignoring his tendency to gamble). When Charles Barkley ran into Jordan at Nike, Jordan asked him how much he made on the endorsement. Barkley reportedly told him about $13 Million. Jordan shook his head. Give it back and ask for shares in the company.

Years later Barkley thanked Jordan for the advice and probably made over 10 times the amount he would have made just taking the money up front.

235 when did this rule get imposed that we can't say "7"?
--------

Kevin Samuels (of youtube shorts fame) was the first person I heard invoke the rule. I think its a valid adjustment to the standard 1-10 scale because it FORCES hard choices to be made with the mid-level grades. For example, if you ask a co-worker how they rate their skill at some part of their job, the easy answer they often choose is "7". But once you take away 7, now they're backed into a corner. They now have to choose 8, which means their performance should be pretty dang strong, or choose 6 and admit that they need some work in that area.

With women, removing 7 makes us decide what we really think of how they rate. They're either populationaly elite (8 or 9, there are no 10s), or they're just nice looking among the average folks.

But my Serbian girlfriend was LIT. It was in no way light-hearted. Always dead serious racism - even against her brother Croats, with their soft pronunciation of certain consonants, their use of the Latin alphabet, their Roman papism, and other barbaric savagery.

We're talking about a woman who would rave at her sister that her Bosnian Serb father was only racially more pure than them because his disgusting lineage had meekly accepted the Turkish boot in the ancient past. In front of him.

Or who would brag to her Jewish long-term boyfriend (me) that Belgrade was Europe's Jew-free city, narrowly beating out the Germans, because Germans are Johnny-come-lately racists who hadn't developed the kind of practice at ethnic cleansing her people had in the Balkans.

She was a gem. A frothy, shameless chauvinist.

Lawrence is bland. I admit to not having hooded eyes, and her eye color is probably pretty and will be noticed once she has the knife whack up her lids in a blepharoplasty, one thing I will never need or want to have. I refuse fillers as I figure they would migrate to my forehead and become lumps.

That mall had a big food court where 100's of people were eating. We were looking at girls as well as eating when an 8 walked into the mall. Every eye in the place stared at her and their heads scanned like radar antenna's tracking her - the buzz in mall went quiet. That is the effect an 8 has on a crowd of people.

Its a bell shaped curve like IQ's, a 9 is the beauty equivalent of somebody with an IQ of 160, a 10 is the equivalent of an IQ of 175. Yes they exist, at a ratio of about 1 person in 100,000. That is rare enough that you are highly unlikely to meet a 10 unless you work in an industry like fashion - movies - or men's entertainment. A 7 is in the top 2.5% of all women in appearance.

New Jersey Polling Places Evacuated Due to Bomb Threats; Communist Jihadist Zohran Mamdani Blames... Trump

Republicans show up to vote on voting day. So left-wingers call in bomb threats, to stop us from voting.

The Blaze calls these hoax threats "swattings" -- and swattings have been a left-wing tactic for years.

Some polling locations were targeted by bomb threats on Election Day, but officials said that no voting was disrupted because of the incidents.

The New York Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said they were investigating an "elaborate swatting attempt" at some New York City polling locations.

County officials then said that the threats were all 'malicious, intimidation-driven acts intended to disrupt the democratic process.'

Police sources said that "terroristic" threats were sent via email about the polling locations at Washington Heights, the West Village, and Midtown.

At the same time, New Jersey police were responding to bomb threats in at least seven counties.

New Jersey Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way also serves as the state's highest election official and said there were "no credible threats" and encouraged voters to resist intimidation.

"We are doing everything in our power to protect voters and poll workers and coordinate closely with state, local and federal partners to ensure a smooth and safe election," she added. "We encourage every eligible voter to exercise their right to vote before 8:00 p.m. today."

Polling sites in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties all received the emailed bomb threat, according to N.J. Attorney General Matthew Platkin.

"Law enforcement officers have responded at each affected polling place, and they have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations and ensure the safety of every voter," Platkin added in a statement. "Some of these polling locations have already reopened to the public. At others, voters will be directed to a nearby polling location to cast their ballot."

Update: Trump fired back at the jihadist.

On Tuesday, as New Jerseyans went to cast their ballots, bomb threats forced voters out of multiple polling places. While the threats were found to be non-credible, they still caused a disruption to those looking to exercise their right to vote for the Garden State's next governor. When asked about the threats in his neighboring state, Mamdani made comments that raised eyebrows and rocked the West Wing.

Mamdani called the threats "incredibly concerning" and said that he believed they were "an illustration of the attacks we're seeing on our democracy."

"We have to understand this as part of the general approach the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across this country," Mamdani said.


White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Mamdani's remarks were "completely irresponsible" and not based in fact.

"I think they are completely irresponsible, and they are based on zero evidence. And I think this is just another example of how the Democrat Party unfortunately stands for nothing. All they stand against is President Donald Trump. And I think it's quite sad to see that we have someone at the top of the ticket on an Election Day today saying such things about the president, when he obviously had absolutely nothing to do with those threats," Leavitt said in response to a question from Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich.


The Communist Jihadist claimed that it must be Trump who's trying to stop Republicans from voting:

How's Ciattarelli doing? Not sure. Scott Pressler reported good turnout in Republican areas. (Which is everywhere except the NYC and Philly suburbs/bedroom communities, and Newark. Unfortunately those are high-population areas.)

Monmouth County is Republican-leaning. People are saying that Ciattarelli needs higher turnout here to overcome Democrats' Philly/NYC suburb advantage than what we've gotten so far.

Google's Artificial Communism:

New Jersey Governor's Race Tightens with Ciattarelli's Orthodox Jewish Surge

In New Jersey's gubernatorial election on November 4, 2025, Republican Jack Ciattarelli challenges Democrat Mikie Sherrill's narrow polling lead through strong support from Orthodox Jewish communities in Lakewood and endorsements from President Donald Trump. Early voting saw nearly 750,000 ballots cast, with Democrats leading by 300,000, but Republican turnout reached 36.8% of the total, up from previous cycles. Sherrill emphasizes moderate policies on abortion rights and economic relief while criticizing Ciattarelli's Trump alignment.

I can't even imagine the horror Tucker Carlson must be feeling:


Meanwhile: Pennsylvania polling places in red areas are, get this, "Running out of ballots."

23 "Chester County polling locations are running out of provisional ballots and voters are being turned away."

How many times is this gonna happen before the GOP -- or the GOP candidates themselves -- gets its head out of its ass and makes sure ahead of time there are enough ballots at the polling stations?

We saw this in AZ with Kari Lake. 2x. Did nobody from her campaign seek to confirm ahead of time that they had the right ballots in their major voting center?

Yes, we are being screwed by protista Democraps. Yes, it shouldn't happen. But it keeps happening, and we never do a thing about it.

The left uses it to their advantage with shenanigans like this. If you vote early you don’t run out of ballots. And if there is a fuckup with voting you can always come back the next day. Voting on E-Day, you don’t have that luxury.

In my personal experience, Fen, moose limbs don't bother with deodorant. I once had to suffer a train ride from Paris to Salzburg with a couple who stank the place up. It was hideous. Later, at the nice hotel where we were staying, this same couple tried to get on the elevator with me. By pure accident (seriously) I shut the elevator door on the woman and rode up alone, snickering to myself. Unsure if they stunk then or not.

They do.
The provisional is a different type of ballot though because it has to be checked after voting (and before counting) to make sure that person is legitimate.

A normal ballot is (theoretically) anonymous and has no identifiable information (even though a lot of states don't understand that.)

A provisional has to have two layers, like a mail-in. One to ID and check if person is on the rolls, (for example, they went to wrong precinct,...) and then the anonymous vote.

Given technology, and assuming no fraudulent intent, there is no reason not to send blank ballot sheets to each precinct, and print ballots up for each voter. That is what we do in my area.

On Election Day and the days leading up to it Trump was the favorite in betting markets. Poly market had him 55-60% consistently. And throughout Election Day that number rose even before a single vote was counted. It was based on reports of turnout in key areas. Trump people were showing up Kamal weren’t.

She's gone off the deep end now. For example, she thinks ISRAEL/TEH Jews are the problem, oppressing and killing Christians. (I'd have to ask my wife for her other positions, but she's clearly moving left into the "OPPRESSION!" matrix.)

It seems there might be something weird going on with young, "conservative" women. Maybe its realizing how much they've been lied to and start to believe ALL the conspiracy theories are true. Either way, it's weird to personally see the "Candace Owensing" of someone you know.

My locality had a massive bond measure to demolish much of downtown to create a "walkable" downtown.

They led with the upgrades to police and fire which weren't even 1/4 of the cost.

Thankfully, people were really angry and it got voted down. Now the city council is up for election and I HOPE the "No" council members dominate.

203 Given technology, and assuming no fraudulent intent, there is no reason not to send blank ballot sheets to each precinct, and print ballots up for each voter. That is what we do in my area. You put in the blank ballot sheet, vote, and it prints out your filled out ballot to review before you put it in the lockbox. Then, there is no excuse that "we ran out of ballots for one party".

I agree. I am engineer and have worked with information systems and doc. control a lot, and my ideal system would use standard paper, and standard laser printers. Stuff you can buy in office depot.

The security has to be once in lock box, and then counted. Counting could be done by hand, or with standard scanners that are open source and competitive so many companies can make and sell. This is all very simple stuff that the contractors hired by government made as complex as possible for revenue.

So what to you do in this case when the roll book has been tampered with?
Posted by: FeatherBlade

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

This is the issue. The roll book should be (must be) public, and must be locked down before voting with enough time that people can verify that it is legitimate. (by checking addresses, canvasing, knocking on doors.) This is why registration closes. But dems made it all electronic, and then went to same day registration. This makes it impossible for PUBLIC to verify.

Then on vote day, there should be representative of all major parties to verify that the voter is on roll book. That is one of the key purposes of parties. Without oversight the other side can and will cheat.

It is all very complicated and the country has lost our understanding of how a secure system operates.

It's because there's videos for Israel of Christians being spat at, yelled at, and the like, and no one is willing to take the middle ground, whis is: Israel has a lot of chauvanists/supremacists of its own, but they run nothing and are generally seen as loons.

The more everyone condemns any/all criticism if Israeli or Jewish issues as antisemitic conspiracy, the worse this will get, especially when they are flattening cities to the horizon.

255 I do think the paper ought to be security paper with micro printing or other feature, to deter someone printing up fakes.
Posted by: Thomas Paine


-----------

This is a peeve.

It is impossible to have those security features that are both (a) hard to copy, and (b) anonymous.

It sounds secure, but it is a distraction. Let them print all they want, the security has to be to prevent fraud from entering the system. That happens at that table with the old ladies checking off voters, and then in the lock box, and then counting.

Trump talked about security paper too, and it makes me think the people he is talking to about this are clueless.

267 Some states have "solved" the secure paper problem by putting QR codes on the ballots.

Yikes -- there goes the anonymous vote.

Votes need to be anonymous to prevent vote buying. The ballots also need to be public after counting to prevent fraud. Chose any two:
- anonymous vote
- fraud detection by public after voting by showing ballots
- secure paper

I wish the GOP would read the last half of that statement and then study its implications. "We" don't have a "really large GOP turnout" when Trump isn't on the ballot because "we" don't support the GOP--we support Trump. IF the GOP would like to "our" party, they need to move to the Trump positions of *winning* rather than the GOP position of "all grift, all the time, and play nice with the Dems".

294 The average height for women in the United States is 5 feet 3.5 inches (161.3 cm), based on data collected from 2015 to 2018 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and reported in 2021.
This average has remained relatively stable over the past two decades.
Height varies by ethnicity, with non-Hispanic white women being the tallest at an average of 5 feet 4.3 inches (163.3 cm), followed by non-Hispanic Black women at 5 feet 4 inches (162.5 cm), while Asian American women have an average height of 5 feet 1.5 inches (156.2 cm).

Election Day votes: ~717,000 ballots cast (polls opened at 6 a.m. and remain open until 9 p.m.).
Early votes (Oct. 25–Nov. 2): 735,000 ballots (a 335% increase from 2021's early voting total of ~169,000).

Much of the system in the blue machine areas is designed to automate it at this point. CO's mail-in ballots (that's all ballots, of course) show whether the ballot is registered Democrat or not through the cutouts in envelope, to make it easier to just discard or mangle them.

Chastened? No. If anything, they're probably more committed to retaining their strongholds at all costs. This doesn't matter in CA, CO, IL, MA, CT and a few others. It *shouldn't* matter in NJ, which is probably why they're going so hard.

Ugh. I've heard enough about Owens and Carlson and Fuentes. Let them run their mouths, and stop yammering about them. If anyone wants to debate these people, they are more than happy to engage. You can hear them all day doing that, and often simply talking to each other. It's never particularly well-spent time, but it's available.

If everyday people on the Right want to debate America's position vis-a-vis Israel, I'd suggest they should probably speak much more to/about people with a good faith anti-Israel position. There are many; Dave Smith and Steve Bannon both jump immediately to mind.

There is a *lot* of good faith anti-Israel sentiment on the rank-and-file Right these days. While it's fun to yammer on that Owens is a barking-mad lunatic, or that Tucker is a grifter, or that Fuentes is an overweight homosexual, the febrile paranoiac Jew-hater segment of the electorate who listens to their silly nonsense isn't really who needs to hear the opposing viewpoint. It's the people who listen to reasonable people.

That's who you need to convince - not single-issue anti-Jew people.

Heh. We must live in the same city.

If an election is in an even year, Republicans sweep everything. Local elections however are in odd years. Turnout is abysmal like 25%. And the left wins every single fucking race.City council, school board, library board, mayor, janitor (ok I made that one up).

It’s easy. They get all the unions out to vote. Nobody else bothers. And the unions elect people who give them raises by increasing taxes. Rinse and repeat every 2 years. I do t get it and I’ve stopped trying to get it.

And no it’s not fraud. The county is Republican and they run elections. County seats weirdly are in even year elections.

Starmer Sycophant
@sirwg202110

Muslim supporter of Zohran Mamdani at a New York voter mobilisation rally: "If 75% of Muslims vote, they'll be at our feet, asking what to do for us."

The power of the Muslim Vote. Going to be fun with the Mamdani and Sadiq Khan double act.


The people scrambling to board your ship don't necessarily want to join your crew.

Sometimes -- oftentimes -- they're just pirates who want to take it over and force you to be slaves manning the oars.

Is it fair to brand Mamdani with the admissions of his supporters? Well, I know that when one single old-woman Republican posed a question to John McCain in 2008 stating that Obama was "a terrorist," every single conservative or Republican voter was demanded to denounce that statement and John McCain had to go on TV essentially campaigning for his opponent, vouching for Obama that he was not a terrorist, not a radical, and in fact, would be a pretty great president.

Trump says the obvious, though many will claim he's speaking more of the Devil's Lies:

"Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani, a proven and self professed JEW HATER, is a stupid person!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

And Trump is warning that NYC will not be getting the large amounts of subsidizing the new Communist-Islamist City will need to simply continue existing:


I'll do that guy one better: Why don't blue states just make it official and secede?

We promise we won't fight too hard to keep you.

Anyways, to draw out some noodling I was doing a couple of ONTs ago, I got Mamdani's voters down to something like 14-15% given the typically low turnout of NYC mayoral races. Of that percent, how many are actually counting on free buses, free childcare, etc, considering some number of them are rich kids who aren't relying on freebies?

I wanted to project riots and violent demonstrations when Mamdani inevitably fails his promises, but maybe there just aren't enough people for it.

So, cancel all my predictions of violent protests and people throwing beer cans at him like they did David Dinkins.

But I could never vote for either Mamdani or Cuomo. They are both too evil. I will go so far as voting for some RINO. Maybe, just maybe, a Sinema-Fetterman type. But not for either of those two. Do you want a Califate or the Cosa Nostra? I'd stick with Sliwa if I were still in NY.

If he's taking advice from London's Muslim mayor, that's almost a certainty.

The NYPD will become more "diverse" but in reality it will become an ideological goon squad for Mamdani to transform NYC into a sharia-compliant city-state.

117 Ted Cruz calls Zohran Mamdani an actual communist jihadist. I thought regular Democrats were communist socialists? Because that's what they've said for decades. I'm so confused.

He does realize that you cannot be both communist and Jihadist, right?

They are still using the list of words from Obama’s first win. Marxist communist socialist Muslim etc… they don’t know what any of it means. My new favorites are ‘Marxist fascist’ and ‘radical leftist democrat antifa’. ‘Communist jihadist’ is pretty good third.

"He hates America...which is why he's running for office"? Also, as if NYers would *ever* listen to a word Ted fucking Cruz has to say lol

They think calling him a communist is going to dissuade people, while Trump has a Great Gatsby themed Halloween party hours before SNAP is cut off. Communism is only getting more popular.

They’ve never read the book. It’s not kind to rich people. It’s like watching Scarface and coming away with “I should be a drug kingpin.”

Old people hear words like *communist* or *socialist* and think "East Germany". Young people hear them and think "Norway," and it doesn't sound so bad.

____________________

I have to be honest. I don't know which scenario you think will be over relatively quickly. If Mamdani is elected he's hell bent on changing the criminal code to accommodate criminals. And, his financial plans are unsustainable. Just take the MTA (Mass Transit Authority). They are $45 Billion in debt with $64 Billion in announced upgrades. That's just one facet of NY. They're tax payers will Exodus making their financial condition 10 times worse.

Or, the tantrum scenario, which I suspect would be a catalyst to nationwide unrest among the ANTIFA retards. NY will cut their own throats and do all they can to avoid Federal intervention. And, we're not talking about the standard supporters of a political candidate here. We're talking about Middle East money, personnel and "true believers." They don't go away of put much thought into strategic endeavors. They just destroy, kill, rob and burn.

Whatever happens today, it's going to be a long term.

Not what he said, to be fair. He did not say non-Muslims will be at the feet of Muslims.

He said if the entirety of the Muslim vote turns out, "they" (not specified) "would be at our feet, looking for us, looking for what to do for us, not in symbolic, but in reality". The charitable and reasonable interpretation is this is noting politicians will need to serve the interests of Muslims if they all vote.

The OP is making the statement inflammatory when it is reasonably not.

Posted by: Eeyore (Is, Eum) at November 04, 2025 02:41 PM (s0JqF)


Cuomo would be a center left mayor because he wants to rehabilitae his image. He'd be more like Adams or Bloomberg, still a lefty, but more or less someone who is trying to fix the city so in 2028 or 2032 he can say "look how I fixed NYC"

Mamdani on the other hand would win by being a communist, so it would just reenforce his belief communism is a winning strategy. He'd move even more to the left as mayor and it would encourage more communist to run around the country.

Cuomo is a sack of shit, but also and opportunist and someone who wants more, so he'd do what he has to get higher, which means not be a psycho leftist, since those won't win a general for president.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

New York allows candidates to be nominees of multiple parties aka Conservative and Republican, Liberal Party and Democrat. Minor parties in NY can allow candidates to appear on their ticket from a major party or run their own. So Mamdami can appear on the Working Family Party line as well as a separate Democrat Party line on the ballot. Ditto for Sliwa. Cuomo is running independent so no additional party line apparently.

Posted by: tired observer at November 04, 2025 02:48 PM (WDjG6)

206 Regarding Sliwa: the thing about this is that the Democrat party split over and the slightly worse candidate getting the nomination . Why is it the Republican candidate’s job to stand down?

Remove the personalities and see that these people like Bill Ackman, who have been funding every Democrat candidate that led them down this path , are choosing to blame someone else - Sliwa — for this mess. It’s not Sliwa’s job, nor the Republican party’s job, to make it easier for them. At some point they have to take ownership for this clusterf&$@.

Midtown has a lot of Koreans, who won't be voting for Mamdani. The upper West/East side wine Mom's will say they'll vote Mamdani, but they have a fetish for a a dominant male and they see that in Cuomo. Even Bronx based Hispanics and blacks are less likely to vote for Mamdani as they aren't fans of Indians.

The most he'll get are NYU dorms. Mamdani's votes will all come from the other borough Indiana and Muslims, as well as the Brooklyn and Astoria 40 year olds and under who think the NYC of the 80s was cool, since they didn't live it.

After 2024, I joined the county party and attended the monthly meetings. What a colossal waste of time. The party leader had an agenda, used whatever maneuvering to shut down discussion or alternative ideas from the floor, and it just turned into a fund raising event an updates on various smaller groups of old people having weekly or monthly meetups at cafes and such.

if you've ever been to London in the last decade, you undoubtedly notice the insane dystopian Ozymandias-level self-congratulatory notices on literally everything, assigned credit to "Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan," no matter how trivial, or how litle he had to do with it.

Everywhere you look:

"This new escalator is from Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan."

"458 new low-income housing units coming to this space soon -- Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan."

"Clean air and safe water, thanks to Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan."

Sometimes, even more creepily, they now leave out his name, but never ever append a "the" before "Mayor,", so the newer signs say,

"Mayor of London encourages you to use bike lanes where possible."

Islamophobia is a crime. -- Mayor of London."

Like, they've drilled it into your head so much, they nw want you to think of his only by his honorific, like calling a king "Your Excellency," instead of by his actual name.

266 sorry to say, don't count on Christians on the whole to vote effectively.
Many in my family and in my neck of the woods have such severe TDS they are convinced a vote for any not-democrat is a matter of conscience, because orange man evil.
Ergo, ALL republicans evil.
My niece's husband is christ-conscience-voting for Jay Jones, because as a Dem he will stop school shootings, and trump is just so bad, it is not who anyone should be, as a true christian.
I am not making that up.

We won't be following you as you are blind. Texas Hispanic vote went 55% for Trump in 24. Overall Hispanic men went for Trump in excess of 50%. Hispanic women are following. It is predicted that in 26 and definitely by 28, the GOP will get the overall majority of hispanic votes. You see, many of them don't see themselves as brown. They see themselves as white, and are starting to vote like it. Eliminating illegals who no doubt are in that 24 election number will drive it even further to the right.

James Comey Accuses Trump of Political Weaponization. Then the US Attorney Prosecuting His Case Presented His Emails, Showing His Intention to Please Hillary Clinton and Secure Her Election.

And secure his own position in the would-be Hillary Clinton administration he wanted to play Internal Spymaster and Dissident-Hunter in.


Federal prosecutors revealed Monday they have unearthed a trove of personal emails showing then-FBI Director James Comey openly talked in the days before the 2016 election that he expected to be working soon for President-elect Hillary Clinton and was being kept apprised by a top FBI aide on efforts to anonymously provide information to the news media.

"Well done my friend. Who knew this would. E [sic] so uh fun," Comey wrote in an early November 2016 email after then-FBI special government employee Dan Richman briefed the FBI director on Richman's efforts to provide information and guidance to The New York Times on an article involving Clinton's email scandal.

The emails were referenced in a bombshell court filing by acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan and her deputy, Tyler Lemmons in which the government rejected Comey's argument that he was being maliciously prosecuted for misleading Congress about actions he took as FBI director.

Halligan cited and attached to the filing numerous emails in which Comey was clearly aware that Richman was working to provide information anonymously to news outlets about the Clinton email case and that he expected those outreach efforts would end with Clinton defeating Donald Trump in the November 2016 election.

"Some day they will figure it out. And as [Individual 1 and Individual 2] point out, my decision will be one a president-elect Clinton will be very grateful for (although that wasn't why I did it)," Comey wrote Richman in one such email in late October 2016.

Halligan's filing said the emails showed Comey was aware of and encouraging Richman's contacts with the media, contrary to his claims to Congress.

"Consistent with the above-described correspondence, Richman corresponded extensively with members of the media regarding or on behalf of the defendant, including in an anonymous capacity," the DOJ court filing argued.

Comey has also lied and maintained that he never knew -- nay, never suspected! -- that the "intelligence" he based opening cases on Trump and his associates on was simply some oppo-research garbage paid for by Hillary Clinton. He has also denied knowing that Hillary Clinton cooked up the plan to claim that Trump was a "RUSSIAN AGENT."

Some handwritten notes may prove that Comey has repeatedly committed perjury in claiming that.


"The discovery of the handwritten notes is relevant considering the defendant's prior testimony on September 30, 2020. Of note, during that hearing, the defendant was questioned by Senator Graham of South Carolina and Senator Hawley of Missouri," the filing noted. "The questions focused on whether the defendant remembered 'being taught' of 'U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's approval of a plan concerning U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.'

"The defendant responded by stating that 'it doesn't ring any bells with me' and 'I don't know what that refers to' and 'I don't remember receiving anything that is described in that letter,'" the filing added. "Despite this testimony, the defendant's handwritten notes dated September 26, 2016, read: 'HRC plan to tie Trump.'"

As you may know, Comey hired his pal Daniel Richman and gave him a top secret security clearance for the express purpose of making it legal to leak top secret documents to Richman, with Richman then instructed to leak that information to friendly Regime Media.


"After the defendant sent the October 2016 letter the defendant emailed extensively with Daniel Richman," the DOJ said in its Monday court filing. "Much of the correspondence occurred via the defendant's use of a personal email account and Mr. Richman's use of an email account associated with Columbia University."

"Make sure you keep your eyes shut. The country can't seem to handle your finding stuff," Richman wrote to Comey on Oct. 29, 2016. Comey replied: "Thanks for the battling you have done against unreason. This is a strange time. B[u]t we press on."

More detail in the actual article, showing Comey plainly discussing the fact that Richman's role was to serve as a cut-out for illegal leaks from Comey to Regime Media allies, such as Michael Schmitt of the NYT.

Below, Comey openly discusses uses this cut-out scheme to violate the DOJ's strict rules about not releasing information about investigations close to an election day, if that information could influence the election.

...

"Let's imagine the Times had a policy against writing new articles close to elections if the articles might influence the election. Consistent with that policy they would avoid writing this week if sources told them that the FBI was looking at Huma Abedin's emails. But let's imagine that they wrote a very high profile piece in July that sources lead them to now conclude was materially inaccurate. Would they correct it or stay silent because they have a policy to avoid action near elections? I suspect they would quickly conclude that either course is an 'action' and the choices are either reporting or concealing but there is no longer a 'neutral' option because of the reporting in July. I also suspect they would resolve very quickly to choose the action of disclosing because to remain silent is to actively mislead, which has a wide range of very bad consequences."

Comey added: "Why is this so hard for them to grasp? All the stuff about how we were allegedly careful not to take actions on cases involving other allegations about which we have never spoken is irrelevant. I love our practice of being inactive near elections. But inactivity was not an option here. The choices were act to reveal or act to conceal."

What he's talking about there is disclosures that additional classified emails had been found on Huma Abedin's computer, after Comey had already "exonerated" Clinton all wrongdoing. Comey really wants Regime Media to put out the word that those new, never-before-analyzed classified emails being shared among unauthroized persons on an unsecure toilet-stall server would not change his analysis and should not tarnish the sterling reputation for candor and transparency enjoyed by one Hillary Rodham Clinton.

So he justified releasing classified information close to an election by saying, If I don't reveal this information, people might think Hillary Clinton is crooked and did something wrong in sharing classified information with unauthorized persons on a toilet-stall server, so I'm going to leak information to my friend to in turn use to write an op-ed in the NYT assuring the public that it's all a-ok and approved by James Comey as No Big Deal.

And he's claiming this workaround doesn't violate the silence-before-elections rule, because without him speaking up -- through his puppet Richman -- people might get the idea that Hillary Clinton did something wrong.

More from JusttheNews. Prosecutors amply rebutted the claim that Everybody Does It and that Comey is only being "selectively prosecuted" because Trump is "vindictive."

"A large majority of the documents were on the floor in five burn bags. Room 9582 was then subject to an inventory for the documents that were located inside. Investigators located hundreds of pages relating to Crossfire Hurricane ... and the then-classified appendix to the 2016 Durham Special Counsel Report (now partially declassified)," the DOJ said. "Additionally, inside a locked safe within Room 9582, investigators located copies of handwritten notes of the defendant when he was the Director of the FBI."

The DOJ said that Comey's handwritten notes "were not known to any prior investigative teams."

The DOJ lawyers insisted in their Monday court filing that "there is a history of prosecuting high-level Executive Branch officials who have lied to Congress about their official actions" and that "it is hardly surprising that the Executive would prioritize the prosecution of high-level agency officials who have lied to Congressional investigators about their official actions."

"The societal interests in this prosecution are readily apparent and overwhelming," the DOJ added of its charges against Comey. "The defendant is a former FBI Director who lied to Congress about his conduct while at the helm of the Nation's primary federal law-enforcement agency. His prosecution implicates societal interests of the highest order."

26 Who makes a motion to dismiss an indictment for vindictive prosecution?

Yea, the legal theory does exist, but it's very weak sauce, unless there's a history of earlier prosecutions. Like if you get prosecuted and win, and then hit again with another similar charge, and win, and hit again, etc. At some point, the judges see a naked personal vendetta and react accordingly.

But here, there's real evidence of real crimes. Smart defendants don't make motions they are almost certainly gonna lose. Either Comey's legal team knows something I don't, or this motion is mostly for political consumption.

The signature they have on file for us is from the DOT, from signing for a license, which was also created via chicken scratch stylus pen.

I signed at the polling place, said "bah, close enough", then the kiosk pulled the one they have on file next to it and it was darn near identical. The lady running the thing got a kick out of it. So did I, to be honest.

According to articles it was found along with a lot of other documents last Spring. Many of the documents were in burn bags that were parked in a rarely used SCIF at FBI HQ.

The logs for the room showed it rarely been used until after the 2016 election when Trump won. Then it started getting busy culminating with it being very busy in the days before Trump's inauguration.

275 According to articles it was found along with a lot of other documents last Spring. Many of the documents were in burn bags that were parked in a rarely used SCIF at FBI HQ.

That was likely the thing Kash mentioned on Joe Rogan back in like March or April. Everyone here piled on him for not immediately unleashing all the evidence on the Democrats, but Trump 2.0 is all about paying fanatical attention to doing things by the book so that Boasberg is reliably overturned. In this case, with an added dose of James O'Keefe-ian "don't lead with your biggest bombshell" strategy.

Posted by: ... at November 04, 2025 01:54 PM (1fd8X)
_______________________________

Just the opposite, IMO. The evidence burning was likely assigned to lackeys of Comey. He, incorrectly, assumed they would follow through. But, someone with a brain figured out that should things go sideways (like they have), they would be the patsy. No paper trail. No written orders to dispose of confidential information illegally. So, they left the information intact in the burn bags. ANYTHING THAT GOES IN A BURN BAG IS EITHER SHREDDED OR PULPED. That's standard procedure no matter where you work with burn bags.

The fact that it wasn't suggested someone was holding back a Trump card (pardon the pun) in the event that things played out as they did. I'd wager whoever those lackeys were, they are now important whistleblowers on Comey. Kash Patel made a point of saying that he, personally, discovered the burn bag treasure. Whether he did or not is unimportant. Someone pointed him there.

278 > Why was the material in the burn room unburned?
---------
I have never believed this to be true... that documentation was found in a burn bag or in some hidden closet. More likely the methods and means are secret and this is as easy and explanation as anything else.

Otherwise it's OPSEC malpractice by people trained in OPSEC to perform their jobs. Which, I guess, is completely possible given the fucktards we're dealing with. So, one would expect a few more people to have been rounded up on account of being complete idiots.

But I still doubt it.

I beleive it. These guys were so unbelievably cocky they wrote notes about everything. When Comey was interviewed by Nicole Wallace after the election, by the way remember Wallace is NYT's Mike Schmidt's wife, he smirked that he set up General Flynn by sending a couple guys to interview him without checking with WH Counsel cause Trump is so dumb.

They had the whole game rigged. They forced people to recuse, got their Special Counsel and then it was a done deal. Until it wasn't. And by then it was probably too late to even think about all the crap they left behind.

It's a minor miracle Trump got through everything and we are here today. But he did and I've never doubted for a second that Kash and Bondi will do whatever they can to expose all of it and charge whomever they can. They might not be perfect but they are not corrupt.

Posted by: Random PJ
______________________

Oh, it's better than that. The DOJ waited until Comey's lawyers filed to have the case dismissed (which occurred just the other day). The DOJ responded this new information confirming the burn bag information is instrumental in his indictment AND Comey's attorneys just wasted their time with the hail Mary dismissal filing. Lots of billable hours on that. I'm guessing the prosecution of Comey isn't just for the goal of conviction. It's to make it expensive, time consuming, anxiety laden as well.

Well not really. The story about the burn bags was from months ago. They had this when they filed on him. Comey's lawyers moved to dismiss the charges. Patially hoping it would work, but even if it didnt it woukd force the govt to tip its hand a bit. They probably have even more. They just didnt need it.

I mostly hear it in terms of Pentagon programs that don't actually produce anything real, but keep a lot of people having meetings, speccing out work to be performed, having more meetings, paying the contractors' bills, and having meetings about the meetings. It's like the old Keynesian parable about digging holes so you can fill them back up, but with a lot of well-manicured noses sniffing around all the money sloshing around. I guess the concept is that it doesn't actually have any impact or purpose beyond the people benefiting from doing it.

Dick Cheney Dead at 84

Google's left-wing Artificial Progressivism:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney Dies at 84 from Heart Complications
Last updated

9 minutes ago

Dick Cheney, the influential vice president under George W. Bush and key architect of the post-9/11 war on terror, died on November 3, 2025, at his Virginia home due to complications from pneumonia and cardiac disease, surrounded by family including his wife Lynne and daughters Liz and Mary. His five-decade career featured roles as White House chief of staff under Gerald Ford, Wyoming congressman, defense secretary overseeing the 1991 Gulf War, and vice president pushing the 2003 Iraq invasion and Patriot Act expansions. Cheney's legacy includes praise for bolstering U.S. security amid criticism over the human toll of post-9/11 wars, estimated at over 940,000 direct deaths by Brown University's Costs of War project.

Although obituaries identify Cheney as a rock-ribbed Republican, of course he became a progressive Democrat in the last ten years of his life.

Cheney suffered from heart disease for decades and fell out of favor among many Republicans in the Trump era, even famously casting a vote in the 2024 election for Democrat Kamala Harris after a long feud with America's 47th president.

Ed Morrissey sums up Cheney's legacy.

Republicans also transformed, in part because of the failure of Cheney's efforts to change the world through democratic reforms imposed by American arms. Referred to as "neoconservative" both then and now, it required the same kind of global engagement and massive resource expenditures, only to not just fail but also backfire in key ways. Cheney certainly didn't intend the failures, and there were some significant successes too, such as the way in which our forward strategy against terrorists prevented more attacks on the American homeland, at least on the scale of 9/11. Cheney never tired of pointing that out, and with justification.

Still, the impossibility of that overall mission became clear, and with it the costs of failure. Put together with rising resentment over poorly managed "free trade" with China and other countries that got shrugged off as the costs for the net benefits of globalization, populists demanded a party that focused on the working class and their concerns, as well as a return to an America-centric policy set. That opened the door for Donald Trump, who flirted with a presidential run in 2011 only to commit four years later. He blew more than a dozen Republican politicians of the older order out of the water, because Trump spoke to voters who had found themselves marginalized when both parties embraced "globalization" over support for American workers.

Accurate. Cheney embraced an unapologetic, no-hedging, no reaching-across-the-aisle, no compromise "strong form" of neoconservatism, meaning there was no hiding its failure when it failed.

He could not blame-shift or claim that "Real Neoconservatism has never been tried" or that he only got to implement half of the neocon foreign policy, and we'd have to implement the full 100% to determine if it worked or not.

It was tried, we implemented 100% of it, and it failed so spectacularly that former neocons such as myself (and many of you) turned away forcefully, permanently, and in revulsion.

Which did have the salubrious effect of ushering in a new theory of government and foreign policy -- which largely was the refurbishing of an old theory -- personified in the unlikely avatar of a loudmouth real estate tycoon from Queens, NY.

At least in that respect, Cheney provided a service. Political questions are rarely tested in such laboratory-perfect sort of experiment, and Cheney finally put unapologetic neoconservatism to the acid test and delivered us all the results. They were not the results we wanted, but they were the results we needed.

Alas, many Americans died trying to vindicate the now-obviously-absurd political claim that we can or should attempt to politically and culturally transform backwards and barbaric societies, hundreds or even thousands of years away from reaching modernity organically, by sending in a several tens of thousands of American fighters to trade bullets and bodies with savages and terrorists for a decade.

We tried. It may be called a Nobel Failure, or just a failure. It was a costly failure in terms of money and precious Americans' lives (and limbs) lost. It failed, and now we know.

As I've never stopped regretting: We elected George W. Bush and Dick Cheney on the theory that the military exists for war-fighting and destroying the enemy, not to serve as armed Social Engineers and Progressive Reformers to advance primitive societies. We elected them to make sure that Bill Clinton's folly in Haiti -- which involved 25,000 "peace keepers" -- would never be repeated. The US military would henceforth be deployed only to destroy an enemy and secure an advantage for the US, not to "nation build" failed or backwards states barely removed from the Dark Ages.

Instead, we wound up being signed up for a decade-plus of nation-building on a scale that Bill Clinton would have blanched at.

Bill Clinton played around with using the US armed forces as an evangelizing force for progressivism. Dick Cheney took Bill Clinton's early experiments and made them into the central animating theory of US foreign policy.

Dick Cheney tested the limits of overwhelming American military might and to our great regret, he found those limits, at enormous loss of American life.

RIP to Dick Cheney and more importantly, RIP to neoconservatism, nation-building, and chasing our tails around the world in pursuit of absurd utopian goals like "bringing freedom to Islam" and bringing reform and democracy to those who "hate our values."

It's election day in America. I hope for the best, but I'm prepared for the worst.

How about you? What are your guesses on:

NYC Mayor?

Va AG?

Va Gov?

NJ Gov?

I think maybe California's gerrymandering proposition, Prop 50, goes to the polls today as well. It's expected to pass by 8-10 points.

My own guesses:

The Communist Hamas terrorist wins.

In VA, Miyares wins the AG slot, which is important because Virginia will not be suing Trump over every little thing, and I think he can keep a lid on more forced transgenderism in school.

I don't have similar hopes for the governor slot. Winsome Earle-Sears has been behind by 5-10 points throughout the whole election season.

In NJ... I'm optimistic. I think Ciatterelli could pull out the win. But I'm not confident. NJ is a corrupt state.

27 NJ is already apparently receiving bomb threats at polling places, though it's split as it's right leaving Toms River and left leaning Patterson.

In 2024 Democrats claimed republicans would make threats, but we know Democrats just accuse others of exactly what Democrats are doing. It's a perfect plan for Dems. You can suppress turnout in republican areas where votes matter, while also claiming to be victims in areas where votes don't matter, as historically Dems just stuffed ballots there (places like Paterson, Newark, Camden, and all of Hudson Country) They'll then demand extended voting hours, which allows them to fabricated the needed votes in those extra 2 hours.

All voting "irregularities" benefit Democrats since they control the process in these states.

64 "It was tried, we implemented 100% of it, and it failed so spectacularly that former neocons such as myself (and many of you) turned away forcefully, permanently, and in revulsion."

Yes and no. I'm not sure what we got was what was promised.

Reagan was basically a neocon as that term was originally used. Neocon theory itself is not controversial to conservatives: strong military, pro-America foreign policy, steady domestic growth, reduced welfare, etc. All those were very successful (and still are)

What wasn't originally part of neocon theory was what was grafted on later and ultimately killed the entire movement: endless nation-building in feral, savage countries that wouldn't know democracy if it crawled up their ass and died there.

It was the nation-building, at insane expense in blood and treasure, that gave "neocon" such a (deservedly) bad rap. But that wasn't part of the original theory. That part was grafted on by MIC and countless other annelid profiteers and grifters eager to get rich from endless nation-building.

66 I think the response to 9/11 seemed justified at the time. They tried managing ME with commerce, both Cheney and Bush were oil men with deep , deep ties to the ME. But they were not smart enough to realize that just because they were lining their pockets, it somehow translated into a security umbrella for the US. They thought that hanging out with ME sheiks, selling them weapons and buying their oil would lead to US security. But betrayal of the scale of 9/11 bit them in the ass. So they responded in kind. I don't exactly regret that, but too many smelled billions and prolonged the bloody engagement.

I don't know, I guess it depends on the words we choose. "We" got off on the wrong foot when "we" decided to use the term "War On Terror". We couldn't/wouldn't even name an *enemy*. The enemy was Islam. The enemy is still Islam, and with it Marxism.

But I digress. There never should have been any intent to "nation build"--we should have destroyed Iraq, and then we should have exited....right thru Iran and destroyed them too.

I feel very badly about all of the good American men and women who gave their lives for a "war" that was never focused on an enemy, and never properly defined what winning would look like. I voted "Republican" because to do otherwise would have been surrender. But Bush and Cheney were clueless architects of an effort that should never have been pursued.

The existence of conservative hispanics does not negate the fact that, as a group, hispanics have higher rates of welfare use, higher rates of crime, and a propensity to vote for Democrats.

125 Back on 9/12/2001 everybody was super glad that Bush and his people were in charge. I think people forget that for decades it was common US policy to ignore jihadi terrorist attack after jihadi terrorist attack on US interests, US personnel ,and US embassies; jihadis and their paymasters in the ME were so convinced that nothing will happen to them, that they became bolder and bolder, and deadlier and deadlier. If that 4th plane was not taken down in PA, might have hit the Capitol Building. Total jihad. I am glad that the US , as clumsy as it was, re-established deterrence. Reminded the world that yes, we will send deadly force to far away places to fkign kill those who bring death to us.

The first instance of large-scale use of gas as a weapon was on 31 January 1915, when Germany fired 18,000 artillery shells containing liquid xylyl bromide tear gas on Russian positions on the Rawka River, west of Warsaw during the Battle of Bolimov. Instead of vaporizing, the chemical froze and failed to have the desired effect.

206 >> Alas, many Americans died trying to vindicate the now-obviously-absurd political claim that we can or should attempt to politically and culturally transform backwards and barbaric societies, hundreds or even thousands of years away from reaching modernity organically, by sending in a several tens of thousands of American fighters to trade bullets and bodies…

This was always the product of small, unimaginative minds like Cheney. It was a knee jerk response to the post Soviet world, from which people like Cheney learned no lessons. Had he and the yes men around him paused to consider the costs and failures of neoconservative approaches like regime change, a lot more men would be alive and we would be better off as a nation. We planted a lot of my friends, neighbors and brothers in that process. Good people for whom I wouldn’t trade 100 Cheney’s. He wasn’t a visionary or a leader. He was just another hapless bureaucrat imbued with bad ideas and even worse solutions.

Before the 9/11 attacks, George W said things like "We're not into nation building." If he ever actually believed that, it went out the window right away after the attacks.

You know, it's funny how badly "Neoconservatism" failed.

Particularly, in the idea of bringing civilization and freedom into barbaric lands with a barbaric religion.

Whereas, "Neomarxism"'s policy of Neobarbarism, ie. bringing in barbarians loaded with ignorance of our culture and ways, and totting along their own violent, dark age religions-

has been a rousing success.

Old Blighty and the rest of Western Europe supinely wait for their cultural swirlies and pink bellies courtesy of their 3rd world rulers to be.

The US?
Welp, just look at Dearborn and northern NY and the no-go all-moslem "township" that was planned for north Texas.

After 9/11 our nation couldn't wait to elect a man with a muslim background and name. And now NYC the site of the slaughter of over 2000 people in a jihad attack by moslems is ready to hand over that city to moslems rule and communist failure.

Say what you will...That's some "ism", that Neobarbarism.

Unfortunately, it's been the fate of so many Republican standard bearers to become ejected from the party with prejudice, and Bush/Cheney is the clearest example. Even Reagan and his decision on amnesty has undermined his legacy.

But it must be pointed out that Cheney's influence on gay marriage (remembering John Francois Kerry's comment on Cheney's lesbo daughter) may have pushed that agenda further than it should have.

I appear to have woken up ornery today and will blame canyon winds and allergies.

His heart transplant, and David Crosby, liver transplant, welp...they certainly benefitted from $ and prestige IMHO. Crosby was able to "jump to the top" of the list and got his in weeks vs months. With Phil Collins (who I like anyway) oddly paying for it. Granted Crosby spent millions of $ on drugs and may have been broke, but I doubt it. He lived for decades supposedly sober.

Cheney functioned for awhile with a LVAD for 20mo, so, for once, I give him a tiny break. But that's all I will give him. Perhaps he waited like a normal person to be on the list for a heart. He hasn't been seen or photographed since 2022 to support Liz, hater of Trump.

Liz Cheney was a big shot on the J6 committee and wanted blood from Trump. I never forget a traitor, and she is one.

281 Accurate. Cheney embraced an unapologetic, no-hedging, no reaching-across-the-aisle, no compromise "strong form" of neoconservatism, meaning there was no hiding its failure when it failed.

To be clear he and Shrub compromised on EVERYTHING that wasn't directly related to the WoT.

I've posted in the food thread that I know not to be a bad guest, so I only attend events I personally put on - I'm just too much of a hassle now (ie - keep me away from the sniffler/allergy sneezer, what ingredients are in the food, etc, etc)...

He switched parties about 3 months after LBJ died. He ran the "Democrats for Nixon" that helped Nixon carry Texas. I imagine he had to high tale it out of the party after that.

Osama gave the US a blood nose they could no longer ignore like Clinton had.

The reason there weren't constant terror attacks after 9/11 is they kicked all the Muslim illegals out of the country.

372 I must run my ballot into the dropoff locatation today. It sure does not have the same sense of completing a small civic duty that actually filling in the ballot at a polling place did. But 3 tax increases on it. One to run around our TABOR amendment to let the state keep excess from a previous 'tax the rich' (over 300K) to fund free school meals for all, a second to expand that tax those 'rich folks' by capping their deductions if they itemize (commies don't want people deciding what causes to support with their money) and a local bit to add ambulance service to the Fire Department, that last one might be okay, but they weren't that convincing and they just had to stick in a bit about it being a permanent tax, they can keep any excess they get over the actual cost of the new service.

I think I voted Kerry as a 'protest' against Dubya, twas silly but back then the state was red, and Dubya was 4-5 points ahead and did win here. I voted for McCain and Romney but in hindsight I am glad those POS grifters lost. Voted for Trump 3 times but between the coastie locusts that moved here and the D cheating the state is reliably blue for POTUS.

As I knew everything possible about Benghazi, I am sure you could hear me screaming from FL when Romney gave that election to Barky in the debate. Or when Nuland lied her granny panties off in Congress. Or when Hillary Hag banged, "What does it matter at this point" in her wonky glasses in Congress (actually I was on a ski trip in Big Sky then).

I remember it all. Basically, post Benghazi, I was a raving lunatic for about two solid weeks.

400 I'm going to partly disagree. Nation-building was *tried* in 2003, and then deliberately sabotaged by the DNC in 2004, just as they sabotaged the defense of South Vietnam in 1975. I would argue that the lesson to be learned isn't that nation-building is impossible, per se, just that it's de facto impossible as long as the DNC or a cultural successor exists. Admittedly, not a meaningful distinction in practical terms, but you might recall that during most of 2003 every nation in the Middle East was suddenly bending over backwards to bury their terrorist connections and arrest or kill anyone who might draw too much attention to them from us. It wasn't really until the election cycle that the fiasco began.

That's not to defend the multiple own-goals and abject refusal to fight back politically of the Bush Administration. But, I stand by what Wretchard and SDB both wrote after 9/11: the alternative to Iraq/Afghanistan was likely to end up, sooner or later, with us nuking somebody as the only cost-effective way to make the attacks on our civilians stop. And, given what we know now, I fear that we have to at least place nukes back on the table in the future.

Tuesday Morning Rant (11/04/25) Bare Bones Edition

Mis Hum Rant.jpg

Mystery Click???


The ever elusive Charles Brown of Dildo fame is on assignment. So he claims.


I'll be honest with you Morons. The biggest Rant I have is with the USPS. And I really can't get into it anymore here on the World Wide Web without serious repercussions.

*****

The Preamble of our US Constitution states:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

When the authors drafted this magnificent document they attempted to conceive of every possible dilemma which a representative republic could face. The creation of three branches of government was brilliant. Checks and balances with justice and domestic tranquility as the ultimate goal.

I've written it here and discussed it on a Cut Jib Newsletter pod cast. The US is too big to survive. And the following is just one reason of hundreds perhaps thousands.

Although I am not a gambling man. I would wager $100 that the authors would have never guessed that state governments would sue the federal government when federal dollars are involved for federal programs.

States sue USDA over efforts to gather food stamp data on tens of millions of people
UPDATED JULY 28, 20259:26 PM ET

A coalition of 21 states and Washington, D.C. filed a lawsuit Monday against the U.S. Department of Agriculture after the federal agency told states to turn over the detailed, personal information of food assistance applicants and their household members.

The USDA has told states they have until July 30 to turn over data about all applicants to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, over the last five years, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and addresses. Last week, the agency broadened the scope of information it is collecting to include other data points, including immigration status and information about household members.

The Federal government should have every right to see who is receiving any type of aid. The Judicial Branch should have tossed the suit immediately with the fancy term for "Go pound sand".

If California wants to take over funding from Uncle Sam to pay for their pipe dreams, fine.

Food stamps SNAP was designed as a part of the safety net for needy Americans. It was not designed to be a magnet for illegal aliens who by definition are here illegally.

Federal funding for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also called food stamps, runs out on Saturday due to the government shutdown. The funding cut-off will hit illegal immigrants hard. The Center’s 2023 analysis of government survey data shows households headed by illegal immigrants make extensive use of the welfare system, particularly food assistance programs.

Among our prior findings:

Of households headed by illegal immigrants, CIS estimated that 59 percent use one or more welfare programs — cash, food assistance, Medicaid, or housing.
Illegal immigrant households have especially high use of food programs, with 48 percent enrolled in one or more of these programs — SNAP, WIC, or school lunch/breakfast.
In particular, our analysis found that 17 percent of illegal immigrant households used SNAP.

It's not a matter of If. But a matter of When.

It says household headed by illegals. But if they have an anchor baby or 4, the anchor babies are citizens and eligible for the Bennies. Or if they’re married to a citizen/ green card holder they may be the head of household but the spouse gets the Bennies.

I suspect that’s the majority of it. It sucks but there’s not much to be done short of changing the eligibility requirements which is never going to happen. You won’t get RINOs voting to make “poor children” ineligible for food stamps.

I really hope we win this one. NJ gov has a lot of power and that odious Karen makes my skin crawl.

The polls in NYC have been mobbed with much more early voting than usual. That doesn't bode well for Bombdaddy. I suspect this will also be a close race that ends in litigation.

I'd rather have Cuomo over the goat-fucker, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. NYC is run by big corporations and big donors, no matter who is mayor.

That was even true under Rudy. He succeeded in part because big corp wanted him to: they were long eyeing the incredibly valuable real estate in midtown (42ns street, etc) that was overrun by scumbags. Rudy cleaned it up; big business moved in.

A coalition of 21 states and Washington, D.C. filed a lawsuit Monday against the U.S. Department of Agriculture after the federal agency told states to turn over the detailed, personal information of food assistance applicants and their household members.




Cut everyone off. Start over. Make it a federal program like Social Security.

Cut the states out entirely.

Sit back and listen to the squeal as the grift dries up.

Petain deliberately rotated men in and out of the lines at a good clip instead of leaving units there to get blasted to fragments like the Germans. So it's little wonder why a good portion of the French army was at Verdun.

Of course, it would have been better to have pulled back from there in the first place. Verdun was a salient and the French could have shortened their line at little cost.

The Wifey read that as "beheaded."

Some recent ideas seen:

1. Scrap SNAP in its current form and withhold all future monies from States FOR GOOD -- NEVER AGAIN (they can go pound their fraudulent sand elsewhere)!

2. Start the program over -- maybe call it FOOD (Feed Only Our Deserving) -- with those in need who qualify having to apply anew directly to the DOGE Department of the Feral Gubmint.

3. Require that participants reapply again every three months to demonstrate continued qualification and need every three months to prove continued eligibility (which of course won't eliminate ALL fraud, but should reduce it significantly -- especially since it's being so abused by unqualified PARASITIC ILLEGAL ALIENS who have NO RIGHT to BE HERE!).

4. And NO FERAL BAILOUTS for any blue shithole state or city that bankrupts itself owing to suicidal policies and fraud; worst case, they revert back to U.S. Territories overseen by Military Governors reporting (at least now) directly to President Trump.

I can't believe raising sales tax is something that's actually on the table in NJ, but apparently people in the Garden State are gagging to have their sales tax raised.

I also voted no on both questions, the first question on Public space was confusing and I had no idea what voting yes would be so, in my experience the safest choice is to always vote now, also voted no on bonds for schools.

Back when I slaved in Cubicle Hell, I found I could effectively modulate visitor frequency with careful selection of the proper foods at my morning toilette.

If I felt gregarious on a particular morning, I could grind a pound of fresh Dunkin Donuts coffee beans, and wear them in a sachet bag around my neck.

When I wanted to be left alone, I could sponge my pits with durian pulp, and enjoy the ensuing Day of Blessed Peace.

At home, I can relax by scrubbing down with lemon rinds, and party hearty.

(A) In general
Each State agency shall keep such records as may be necessary to determine whether the program is being conducted in compliance with this chapter (including regulations issued under this chapter).

(B) Inspection and audit
All records, and the entire information systems in which records are contained, that are covered in subparagraph (A) shall—

(i) be made available for inspection and audit by the Secretary, subject to data and security protocols agreed to by the State agency and Secretary;

(ii) subject to subsection (e)(, be available for review in any action filed by a household to enforce any provision of this chapter (including regulations issued under this chapter); and
(iii) be preserved for such period of not less than 3 years as may be specified in regulations.

“Secretary” is the Secretary of Agriculture

It is an unequivocal, indisputable fact of law that the federal government is entitled to this information as a condition of the program. It’s why they went to a liberal judge in California to get the injunction, which should be stricken.

134 Food stamps used to be a signifier that you needed government help to feed your family. It was supposed to be shame-inducing. No one getting a handout from Uncle Sucker has any shame.
——-

No, it was never intended to be “shame inducing”.

It was branded as shame inducing in order to change the system, and attitudes were modified to change it a sense of entitlement. “What do you do for a living?” the BBC reporter inquired to the Snapanese citizen. “I get a check” she replied. “No, I mean where do you work?”. Again - “I get a check”.

The “ghetto mentality” purposefully inculcated in one segment of our society has been successfully deployed to the larger society. See how that works?

Remember the old white trash Charlie Daniels tune “I don’t want nothin’ from nobody, if I cain’t get it on my own”?

There is no shame or stigma, because they had to change people’s attitudes. It was axiomatic that Credit was stupid, and while being poor was Not Fun, at least the breadwinner was supporting his family by honest labor. He wasn’t accepting charity. This was a point of pride.

This mentality had to be killed. They have Meth and Lottery now.

135 42 million may take “SNAP”, but I read 90 million are on some sort of major taxpayer assistance or another. And that was 20 years ago. Doubtful those numbers (or percentage) have improved in the ensuing takedown of the good ship America.



It’s much much worse than you think.

So first off 42 million is recipients of snap. But that is adults who get it. Their kids aren’t counted as recipients. So the 42M is more like 80-100M when counting their kids.

And then on top of that if you count everyone who gets some direct payment from the govt, be it welfare, SS, Obamacare subsidies, paycheck, etc, the number is over 50%.

The warning from Ben Franklin has become reality.

It’s also why we should start removing these judges. There is no legal basis for the injunction.

I still recall Phil Gramm (R-TX) -- who complaining about it back a half-century ago in the 70's -- running for President in the 90's predicting that one day we will have "more people riding in the wagon than are pulling the wagon."

Not sure when that threshold was crossed, but (after a quick interwebz search -- and this likely fails to include illegals):

"Based on a 2023 Pew Research Center survey, 55% of Americans have received government benefits from at least one of the six most well-known federal entitlement programs, excluding Social Security and Medicare. These programs include Medicaid, welfare, unemployment benefits, and food stamps (SNAP). Additionally, when considering household-level receipt, 71% of adults live in a household that has benefited from at least one of these programs."

216 Related - AI response to a Q

>The requirement for people to work or volunteer in 2027 is a big deal because, starting in January 2027, new federal work requirements for Medicaid enrollees will take effect nationwide. This policy is controversial and significant for several reasons:

Loss of health coverage: The primary concern is that an estimated 11.8 million people could lose their Medicaid coverage, with approximately 4.8 million losing it specifically due to the work requirements. This would dramatically increase the number of uninsured people.
Mandatory hours: To maintain coverage, most adults ages 19 to 64 will need to prove they are working, volunteering, or engaging in educational activities for at least 80 hours a month. The user's prompt of "a few hours" is an understatement of the actual hours required.

Administrative burden: The requirements create a significant monthly documentation burden for recipients to prove compliance and for state systems to manage and verify eligibility, which can lead to people losing coverage even if they are working or exempt.

Impact on nonprofits: The charitable sector largely opposes "mandatory volunteerism" because it can impose

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at November 04, 2025 12:04 PM (NFX2v)

217 increased costs, burdens, and liabilities on nonprofits, which are forced to manage an influx of potentially unenthusiastic individuals "doing time" rather than genuinely volunteering. Nonprofits also argue that coerced service undermines the intrinsic value and spirit of true volunteerism.

Policy shift: This marks a significant policy shift as, previously, states had to request federal permission (waivers) to implement work requirements, but in 2027, states will be required to implement them as a condition of receiving federal Medicaid funds.

Economic impact: Critics argue the requirements will not only affect the individuals losing coverage but also place a strain on healthcare systems and potentially lead to less productive outcomes compared to authentic volunteer engagement.

In summary, the 2027 work/volunteer requirements are a major issue because they condition essential health coverage on specific activities, potentially resulting in millions losing healthcare access and creating significant administrative and operational challenges for both individuals and organizations.

16 I generally am not an El Greco fan because so much of his art is very dark, and even sometimes hard to see the details, but I get the effort to augment the lighter parts, and I appreciate the use of Dutch technique to create a vivid subject.

I rate this OK plus. Pretty good.

38 Yes, when I saw the name "Vazquez" my first thought was "vampire." Maybe one who is not getting enough blood, or his hair and beard would be dark.

All seriousness aside, the hair and beard are well done, and the expression on his face allows for various interpretations. Which can make a piece of art intriguing.

101 Portrait of don Rodrigo Vázquez de Arce
Anonymous (Copy after: El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos) Lost 1587-1597, it is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

Interesting look from the "model" to the artist.

Anyway -
don Rodrigo Vazquez de Arce - Born in Ávila, he was the son of a law professor and advisor to Charles I of Spain. He studied in the Colegio Mayor Santa Cruz of the University of Valladolid and became a judge in the Royal Chancellery of Granada, a member of the Council of Castile and a member of the Council of the Inquisition. (Wikipedia)

A member of the Council of the Inquisition was a person on a governing body, such as the Grand Inquisitor who headed the council, or the other members who sat on it. For example, the Spanish Inquisition's Council of the Supreme and General Inquisition had a Grand Inquisitor and six members. These members had various roles, including theologians who acted as 'calificadores' and weighed cases, as well as prosecutors, notaries, and bailiffs who carried out the council's decisions.

117 Ok, "Tommy Robinson has been found not guilty of a terror offense after refusing to give police access to his phone during a stop at the Channel Tunnel in July 2024. The court ruled that the police's actions were discriminatory and based on his political beliefs." Tommy Robinson who held that little march of millions of people not long ago, defying the deep state, and who the deep state and British islamonazis really want gone. The one who got support from Musk, to fight this horseshit.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 04, 2025 09:52 AM (tgvbd)

Young Rodrigo approved of her very much.

My roommate at the time and I had her prominently displayed on our refrigerator door.

I remember being a little concerned when the landlord showed up to fix something, as he'd given off the "devout Christian" vibe.

However, he was most appreciative. Heterosexuality trumps a lot of things.

Besides, that was well after Jimmy Carter made it legal to lust in your heart.

so, fuckery at the polls here in Chester County. not good

went to vote and they somehow - for the whole county! - printed "voter books" with only D/R and our most important race right now is for judges! which is not party-based.

so like half the people there were unaffiliated, which is normal, but they ALL had to do provisional ballots bc of this. it was a hot mess.

they are saying "well they will count them all but it will probably take a week or two" so it's building in confusion, making people leave without voting, and worse yet, and excuse to take longer to "count."

very very VERY hinky stuff out here. never even heard of this before, we always have tons of third party or unaffiliated and they get ballots with like nothing on them but they are always LISTED if they're registered!

197 so, fuckery at the polls here in Chester County. not good

went to vote and they somehow - for the whole county! - printed "voter books" with only D/R and our most important race right now is for judges! which is not party-based.

so like half the people there were unaffiliated, which is normal, but they ALL had to do provisional ballots bc of this. it was a hot mess.

they are saying "well they will count them all but it will probably take a week or two" so it's building in confusion, making people leave without voting, and worse yet, and excuse to take longer to "count."

very very VERY hinky stuff out here. never even heard of this before, we always have tons of third party or unaffiliated and they get ballots with like nothing on them but they are always LISTED if they're registered!

202 >>>Alright, what does 6-7 refer to?

It's funny to kids because it means nothing. But the explanations of where it might come from are even sillier than it being from nothing.

"The "6-7" meme is used as a largely nonsensical, all-purpose interjection or inside joke. It has no fixed meaning, which is part of the point, though it is sometimes used to mean "so-so" or as a social signal of being "in the know".
Origin and Spread
Music Origin: The phrase originates from the 2024 rap song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by rapper Skrilla, where he repeatedly says "six-seven".
Basketball Connection: The song snippet gained initial traction on TikTok when users began pairing it with highlight videos of NBA player LaMelo Ball, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall.
Viral Popularization: The meme was further propelled by a viral video of a young fan (dubbed the "67 Kid") excitedly yelling the phrase at a basketball game, accompanied by a specific up-and-down hand gesture.
Mainstream Adoption: Public figures, including NBA and WNBA players, have referenced the meme in interviews and celebrations, solidifying its place in pop culture."

Comer's committee took depostions from pretty much everyone in Biden's inner circle. Not a single person could identify who Biden designated authority to use the auto pen or who actually used the auto pen. That's a problem. If I Republican president had done it it would be a national scandal with actual media coverage. The DOJ has the report now so we'll see where it goes.

Barry Loudermilk, congressman from Georgia, has been leading a committee investigating the J6 committee and is scheduled to release a report before the end of next year at the latest. He's probably a good pick since the J6 committee tried to take him out claiming he led recon missions with potential rioters before J6.

He did not. And he's a bit pissed off.

Great. Then he will have to say who he gave the authority to because as I said nobody in Biden's administration claims they know or that they did it.

Obviously, someone or someones is lying. The process is the punishment isn't just for Republicans.

When lexicographers speak of "words," what they really mean is "term' or "phrase." Could be one word, or a combination of words. Like, say, "piggy bank," or "onion ring." Any unfamiliar word or phrase that one might look up in a dictionary.
