Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | 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 NaziBefore 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 NorrisFrom 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. ![]() ![]()
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.
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: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. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

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.

Several conservative influencers who gained prominence being platformed by Tucker are struggling to deal with his indefensible actions. They (somewhat rightly) feel a sense of loyalty/debt to him.
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. Posted by: Bitcoin Fixes Everything at November 05, 2025 05:12 PM (V6W16) 17

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?

Tucker, Candace, and Nick don't believe anything they are saying. They were a PAID OP to let the squish on their side AND our side see "look Republicans are now fighting over keeping or expelling Nazis from their own party -see how important this Nazi is that they want to platform him on Tucker - how can you, the nice 23 year old woman, ever want to be a part of that"? And WE, or at least our thought leaders, FELL for it instead of just calling it out as a PAID OP!

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): Open Source Intel @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.

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.

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.

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. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 05, 2025 05:20 PM (BI5O2) 61

As I've said before, Tucker and Candace can say all the stupid shit they want.
All the retarded "just asking questions" they play coy but think is clever. And I don't care if maybe they are on to some valid criticism. They a still wrong. Very, very wrong. Because every single person in that "just asking question (about the Jews)" crowd is through and through evil. And I'll never join that group. Call me all the names you want but I'll stand over here among the "not roasting babies in ovens" people. But if you want to rub shoulders with the "just asking questions" that is also the "how long can a baby survive at 350 degrees" crowd, you go right the fuck ahead.

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.

From over at PowerLineBlog dot com:
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) Posted by: LCMS Rulz! at November 05, 2025 05:25 PM (bufu1) 89

" Loesch dismissed excuses for avoiding criticism of figures like Candace Owens, mocking the notion of her as a "young mom" at 36 years old"
Ms. Owens: Do not use your children as a human shield for your vile beliefs. If you say hateful words as a 36 year old "young"mom, you OWN those words. Your children didn't say them, nor did they force you to say them. If they did, that is a whole nother problem. But be a woman and take ownership of your prejudice.

No, I don't think so. In fact, if you remember, Wm. F. Buckley called Pat Buchanan an antisemite not because any particular position was indefensible, but because Pitchfork Pat kept weighing into each and every controversy about Jews and attacking them.

Good write-up, Ace.
Three thoughts: 1) I've mentioned this before but Nick Fuentes is a loudmouthed self-promoting Faggot just like Milo was/is. Flying close to that foul-smelling sun won't end well. 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. Posted by: ballistic at November 05, 2025 05:27 PM (3BwY8) 106

[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. Posted by: Methos at November 05, 2025 05:27 PM (vSvIl) 108

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.

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. From that day on, I have absolutely no use for the idiot who is Tucker Carson.

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".

" a fat, gay, race traitor that married a jееt" Anyone overly offended/surprised/ shocked by this has never had an honest conversation with a Gen Z kid.

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.

Posted by: ace at November 05, 2025 05:33 PM (1wjle) --- 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. So who wins the least worst option contest? 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.

Little cum-chugging social media fatties and mental patients like Fuentes and Owens should draw fire, but they're getting more than they earn.

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. Posted by: The MewTwix at November 05, 2025 05:40 PM (SAMCf) 191

11 So Nick Fuentes is MAGA even though he voted for Harris and thinks the VP is a race traitor. Riiiiiiiiight. Fuck that guy in particular, I'd like to go back to ignore his existence.
--- I am starting to think this Fuentes guy is an op by the left. He is a caricature of how the left describes us. He makes cringeworthy sound bite after sound bite that the left attributes to all of us, because THEY claim he is one of our leaders. Lastly, like Bill Kristol, always tells us to vote for a democrat because the republican option isn't pure enough. Posted by: Lemmiwinks at November 05, 2025 05:41 PM (kDHiw) 200
But based on what I read, I think it’s highly likely this fellating turd was deliberately thrown in our punchbowl by the left, and too many on the right are falling for it.

>>>The problem with many Boomercons and Ziocons is that the ADL has effectively convinced you all that anyone that opposes funding Israel "hates Jews".
no, I have decided that anyone who calls for the "death penalty" for all Jews who have prominent positions in American politics -- as Fuentes does -- is a Nazi. Nazis called for purges of Jews from public life. But let's just make excuses for the Nazi cocksucker who says "Heil Hitler" and calls Hitler a "cool" bad ass."

Posted by: Ace Has Double the Standards! at November 05, 2025 05:38 PM (AxfbH) 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. Oh and he has said in numerous occasions he thinks Hitler is one bad ass dude. But yeah it’s silly to calm him a. Nazi. 🤭 Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at November 05, 2025 05:42 PM (3qp0C) 206

You might remember that there was leaked correspondence among various leftist orgs immediately after Charlie was shot where they were brainstorming ideas to stop the conservative surge in the aftermath.

------------------- 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.

"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.

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. Posted by: troyriser at November 05, 2025 05:57 PM (DPeYO) 293

262 It's an op. It's always an op. Trump and JD are right to ignore Fuentes and his dumbass followers as much as possible, because when they start addressing it, it becomes a new version of "When did you stop beating your wife" and they spend the next three years trying to denounce Nazis vociferously enough for the left to quit hounding them about it, which, get this, isn't something that exists.

So what is your point? -------------------------------- 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.

295 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?
--------------------- 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.

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.

You know what would really discourage "employment of illegal aliens"? Even a handful of high-profile enforcement actions against businesses - to include perp walks if appropriate. You kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Kill some chickens, and make sure the monkeys know all about it. 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.

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. Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 05, 2025 04:04 PM (iFTx/) 42

Calling 40k a booming jobs market is a streeeeetch.
Population growth alone for adults is 100k or so. Anything under 100k is really a net negative number. 150k is seen as a good number indicating an expanding economy.

MSM tells me those very fine, newly elected 'moderates' in New Jersey and Virginia won because they stressed affordability for the people vs. inflation and/or tariffs.
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. Not going into another foreign war.

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.

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 Posted by: Kindltot at November 05, 2025 04:14 PM (rbvCR) 82

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.

One of the disconcerting trends out of last nights election was the economy. It wasn’t just from Democrats, it was across parties and Independents. People are worried about the economy and things don’t seem to be getting better despite Trump’s proclamations. I understand economic cycles, but if things don’t clear up coming into next years midterms it won’t be good.
BTW the main reason a lot of Democrats support the shutdown is it is dragging on the economy. I also don’t support Johnson leaving the House out of session anymore. It’s going to slow down relief Posted by: Marcus T at November 05, 2025 04:16 PM (q+EmQ) 90

Calling 40k a booming jobs market is a streeeeetch.
Population growth alone for adults is 100k or so. Anything under 100k is really a net negative number. 150k is seen as a good number indicating an expanding economy. By comparison in 2017, during Trump 1.0 first year, average MONTHLY number was 182k. Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at November 05, 2025 04:07 PM 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.

96 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.

Didn't they raise the processing fee for H1-B visas to $100,000?
— 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.

No, just pass a Senate rule that the Filibuster becomes non operational if the Government is shut down for more than 15 days.

They elected a Marxist in NYC who upon election immediately ripped off the mask.
The biggest issue in NJ was property taxes and they elected an idiot in way over her head and no plan to reduce it because a good bulk of her voters don’t pay any Gov workers installed another true believers and her liege up and down the ticket including a guy who wanted to kill a fellow legislator and his children. I don’t believe this is the rosy scenario some are painting it to be. In fact I spoke with a few friends that are Dem staffers and they feel the same way That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pay attention to some of the trends. We should, and we should also look at other aspects like some of the elections on Georgia. Overall the economy needs to improve on a personal level for the average person.

The mayor cannot unilaterally raise taxes in the city. The New York City Council sets property tax rates, and the personal income tax rates are set by state law and administered and collected by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Any tax hikes will have to be approved by the state legislature in Albany. Mamdani gets sworn into office on New Year’s Day; Governor Kathy Hochul and members of the New York state senate and state assembly are up for reelection in November 2026. None of them will be particularly eager to raise taxes in an election year. Mamdani wants to make it free to ride city buses. Bus fares are controlled by the Metropolitan Transit Authority board.

The mayor cannot unilaterally raise taxes in the city. The New York City Council sets property tax rates, and the personal income tax rates are set by state law and administered and collected by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Any tax hikes will have to be approved by the state legislature in Albany. Mamdani gets sworn into office on New Year’s Day; Governor Kathy Hochul and members of the New York state senate and state assembly are up for reelection in November 2026. None of them will be particularly eager to raise taxes in an election year. Mamdani wants to make it free to ride city buses. Bus fares are controlled by the Metropolitan Transit Authority board.

(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 injuredThere'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." 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." Probably deserved it. Note that the National Rally is identified as "far right" while the "French Man" is identified as "Driver." ...Why would it be. Why would it be. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Do you think for a second that someone hollering anything other than aloha snackbar would be equally ignored?
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.

I honestly think this Socialist Jihadi alliance thing has legs. There is no Democrat Party anymore, just Socialist Jihadis wearing it as a skin suit. Seems to be a world-wide alliance as well. 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. I think it's going to be a long slog against the Socialist Jihadis. Posted by: RickZ at November 05, 2025 03:01 PM (gKDq2) 58

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. Posted by: Crusader at November 05, 2025 03:18 PM (TN0g+) 136
I am fine if NYers want to try socialism (Of course, those people are not NYers, they are 3rd world imports) but let them try it on their own dime. They have one of the wealthiest financial industries in the world. Great ports, tourism, theater, etc.... They should have sidewalks paved in gold by now.

57 I honestly think this Socialist Jihadi alliance thing has legs. There is no Democrat Party anymore, just Socialist Jihadis wearing it as a skin suit. Seems to be a world-wide alliance as well. 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. I think it's going to be a long slog against the Socialist Jihadis.

-------------- Every new threat learns from the past and tries something different. We worry about China as if they are going to blitzkrieg into Poland, but they understand that that doesn't work so they infiltrate our institutions with ex-pats, steal all our technology, and undermine out society with dissent and revolution. The muzzies learned that our greatest weakness are the very things that define the West -- equality and freedom. To irradiate this scourge we have to ban all muslims, their books, buildings, etc. We have to be un-Western in our thinking because that is what we are up against. We need an Inquisition.

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. Posted by: Marcus T at November 05, 2025 03:33 PM (lKGBp) 191

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.
=================== 40% of NYC income tax is paid by the top 1%. Madmani wants to increase that to 60%, for "fairness". But the problem is, as Marcus notes, those people can leave pretty easily. Often it's just a matter of working from an already existing second house instead of coming into Manhattan. Posted by: Huck Follywood at November 05, 2025 03:39 PM (dtRKo) 223

Meanwhile, 78% of voters in the 18-29 age range voted for Mamdani, compared to 18% for Cuomo, while 66% of voters in the 30-44 range backed Mamdani and 28% supported Cuomo. Just 36% of voters 65 or over voted for Mamdani, with 55% going for Cuomo."

Approximately 50% of apartments in NYC are rent controlled and subject to a potential rent freeze promised by Mamdani.
Mamdani got approximately 50% of the vote. Make of this what you will.

Posted by: CaliGirl at November 05, 2025 03:48 PM (Y5PQs) ____ 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. Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 05, 2025 03:53 PM (iFTx/) 286

What is the optimistic take?
1. Mostly this was due to GOTV and paid actors. In a real election, none of these people would have won. Things aren't so bad for the midterms. 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.

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.

Posted by: Galt at November 05, 2025 05:43 PM (AlhAk) 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-ElectedThis 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. "At the end." When the Democrat Party and Democrat-Antifa-Media Party all demanded Biden withdraw, he means.

That means a household earning $150,000 a year—comfortably in the national top 10%—can still be paying well over 30% of its income just on rent
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.

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.

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.

Ok, so they're idiots. Got it. The beef about $3B in aid I kinda sorta get, but we get more bang for the buck from that than other aid. I think most of the $3B is to buy USA-made weapons anyway. It's more subsidy for MIC.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 05, 2025 02:08 PM (iFTx/) Yeah. Their argument also goes into “we give them all this money while people are homeless in America”. Kinda the Trump is building a ballroom while poor black children starve with no snap left wing argument. None of their shit makes sense with even 5 seconds of analysis. But they’re good sound bites and slogans that resonate. Like hope and change or yes we can. Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at November 05, 2025 02:12 PM (3qp0C) 129

But...why Israel is the focus is an interesting question
Posted by: 18-1 at November 05, 2025 02:06 PM (sKqQm) Not really. It goes back to Massie accusing AIPAC of having bought a significant majority of Congress, and not being required to register as a foreign lobbying agent. People can argue that Israel's interests are America's interest if they want. The point being though, there are growing segments of the poopulation that don't agree that it is. And not just on the left. Posted by: BurtTC at November 05, 2025 02:13 PM (dGCAG) 134

Remember when we began to correct the left whenever they referred to the criminal Pakis in the UK as "grooming gangs" and insisted on the term "rape gangs" instead? We need to be just as vigilant in not letting Tucker and Candace and Nick Fuentes be referred to as "pushing the party further to the right". The embrace of Hitler and anti-semitism doesn't make those monsters "further right"--it makes them *evil*.

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.

Of course it's still silly to vote for rent freezes if you think your rent is too high, but the educated, hard-working teachers, junior lawyers, and software engineers who are frustrated by their inability to buy a house and start a family are getting emotional about their plight, not more rational.

My own argument is the right should approach economic policy as war.
----- 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? Posted by: Crusader at November 05, 2025 02:32 PM (TN0g+) 217

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.

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.

Here's where they fuck that up: When you want government to pay for everything, your taxes go up. Property, city, county, state & federal. You want that cool park and hiking/biking trail? Your taxes are paying for it. You want your high schooler to play football in a pro level $100 million dollar stadium? Your school taxes go up. You want 15 libraries? Your city taxes are going up.

And savings and investments add up quick, especially in a strong market like we've had. But in order to save, you must first forgo spending that money on immediate gratification. I know that's hard to do, but older generations did it.

(Yes I know we're moving in the right direction there, but the last few years have been, well, a thing.) There is no universe where a "normal kid" who starts out at ground zero without a trust fund to help out can live in a major city in the US and have any hope of being a legit homeowner without just falling ass-over-teakettle into some serious good luck. You can live in a railroad apartment in NYC with six roommates eating nothing but ramen for 10 years and you won't have enough for a down payment in a neighborhood where you won't get shot for going outside.

By all means, speak with the same people Fuentes does but point out the fallacies and lies of Fuentes arguments. Don't put your around him and celebrate him like Tucker is doing. The Democrat Party is learning the hard way what happens when bring ignorant radicals into the tent instead of defeating their lies.
Posted by: JackStraw at November 05, 2025 02:42 PM (viF8m) 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.

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. Posted by: ballistic at November 05, 2025 02:50 PM (3BwY8) 297

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.

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 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.

* Create new category (low cost/Long life) * Relaxed set of safety and emissions requirements * Consortium agreed car computer with open source code and open hardware for replacements * "Right to repair by owner" design with full diagnostic SW package available as freeware * must be manufactured on U.S. soil with U.S. engine * No sensor replacement cost above $100 * All mission critical sensors are open SW/HW * BONUS- get rid of rules that are keeping small pickup trucks from being made Posted by: hate_the_deepstate at November 05, 2025 04:05 PM (2Nfh9) 332

"I think" it was 4M$. You can be darn sure if the bonus was $4M that you know for absolute sure. If you're Elon Musk with 500B$ you can maybe get away with saying "I Think" about a 4m$ bonus, but not that asswipe donillon.

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.

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. But for now, all these ratfucks can suck my bozack.

Ace: 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
— 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.

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.

Notice how many more women than men showed up to vote in VA, and probably everywhere. Men can't bitch if they won't show up to vote. You can't. It's your fault for not voting b/c if you showed up, Miyares (and others) would have won.
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.

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. — 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.

>> 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 to **** 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.

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.

Ace, VA res here, and don't worry about it.
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.

The tides of history have always run red with blood. Our founding fathers gave us a structure that protected us for a while from the Dark Side of human nature, which they were very well aware of. But we are in a wooden bungalow on the edge of the ocean of human nature and the waves are battering at the pilings holding us up.
It's going to take a massive mind shift by patriots and people who love freedom to get serious about pushing back. We also need to take a hard, sober look at the nature of our opponents, our enemies.

The right just wants to be left alone. It’s easy to excite the left to vote because of this and hard to score the right. When the left wins it’s like Christmas, they get presents under the tree like free rent and free whatever. You wanna pay my rent? Fuck yeah I’ll show up to vote. Where and when?

In my world, that is a disqualifying condition for holding public office but by yesterday's vote that is apparently passe. The new enlightenment it seems is advocating for murder and assassination is a qualifying characteristic. God help us.

DeSantis is also good and very quick on his feet. Posted by: Cheri at November 05, 2025 12:56 PM (oiNtH) Doesn't address the point though. Nixon slaughtered JFK in the debate but chicks thought he "won" because he made their basements leak. Same thing here. The debate performance isn't the issue. Vance could and probably will destroy Newsom intellectually. Won't stop the same cadre of women from creaming themselves and voting for Newsom with their Chardonnay-and-Xanax-fueled vaginas.

Good afternoon!
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.

This is obviously - to reverse the phrase - politicizing the personal and naked attention-seeking behavior. It's the politics of people dealing with Cluster B personality disorders.
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.

Honestly, while the Jones "two bullets" issue is disqalifying, it can by poo-poohed away as "just talk" (even though it's clearly what he beleives as he doubled down on it.
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.

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?

I'm already over it. We lost. Meh. We've lost before and will lose again. I hope we learn lessons from this, and not be so complacent next time. We can't stay home en masse and expect to win. You won't get a date to the prom if you don't ask anyone. 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.

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.

It was obviously a nationwide landslide, brought about in part, by the demonization of young women. They had enough and came out in force while everyone else sat at home.
A reverse of the last few decades, where young men were the demonized ones and got out to flip that script. Posted by: Nova Local at November 05, 2025 01:11 PM (tOcjL) Oh bullshit. They've been voting this way for decades. Women, especially single women, have been a reliable majority bloc for liberals for ages. So don't give me this horseshit that "oh those big bad mean Republicans hurt those little girls' feelings do they voted for murderous progressives." People like you, who want to absolve an entire sex of personal responsibility and agency, are a massive part of the problem.

The International Idea, The largest and the clearest, Is welding all the nations now, Except the one that's nearest.

The issue is and always has been the actual GOP apparatus. They rely on consultants and third parties to get out the vote. My county has 20% turnout in off year elections and that is typically when the school districts submit their property tax increases. This year we got zero information from the GOP on their voting recommendations. Fortunately, we can read for ourselves and figured it out, but if the party apparatus isn't trying to turn out the vote, then why do they exist at all.

No, because we see the same thing in Europe, where they have abortion. They'll let immigrants rape them and not report it, or report a white dude raped them, for suicidally empathetic reasons.

With the young women I believe it is their obsession for access to abortion more than anything. Posted by: steevy =========== You could say conservatives have an obsession with abortion, too.

Imagine how much worse the election news would have been if President Trump hadn't hammered the US Government-NGO sluicegates. Those cats lost billions of dollars for Dem voting machinations.

Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog 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.

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.

Posted by: gKWVE at November 05, 2025 01:30 PM (1ET9J) 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.

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.

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.

Love you, Ace, trying to protect us yesterday.
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. All will be well somehow. xoxo Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 05, 2025 01:51 PM (MAl//) 572

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.

My perspective and equanimity come from being a part of this community.
Posted by: Robert Luebkemann at November 05, 2025 05:41 PM (PepNr) Wednesday Morning Rant![]() 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.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? Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

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. That's why I go to the Texas State Rifle Association website and see what they have to say about it. Especially if it has 2nd Amendment applications. There are lawyers that will parse the wording to make it make sense. Posted by: rickb223 Acehole Extraordinaire coined by JSpicy at November 05, 2025 11:06 AM (GlKAP) 26

Arnold Schwarzenegger had one of those "Yes on No" propositions when he was governor. Everyone voted Yes when they meant No and unions got more power. This was back when Californians were capable of electing a Republican, if a ditzy one, and a lot of them were mad at themselves for falling for the ads that with nurses crying "Governor Schwarzenegger wants me to diiiiieeeeee!"

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.

Tell me if this take is dumb. But it felt like last night was a state's issues election, more local, using TDS and the shutdown food stamp stuff to get out the woke Karen voters. It doesn't feel like a national referendum in Trump to me. Just local elections where the blue dominated states voted as they usually do.
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 And RNC gets off their cushy butts and actually tries to win races. Am I insane? Is my take totally wrong?

What the legislature doesn't want to approve or cannot approve they ask the voters to approve.

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.

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.

Approximately 38% of New York City's population is foreign-born, with this group making up over 3 million residents.

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. Posted by: Aetius451AD at November 05, 2025 11:31 AM (bss/y) 162

I just realized something... one of the beautiful things about the 9-11 memorial at the WTC is how peaceful it is. How still. Like even the air around you is quiet out of respect. It's a good place to reflect and ponder. I love that memorial.
They're totally going to put a mosque next door and have the call to prayer scream at all hours, aren't they? Rub salt in the wound. Did that mosque downtown they were trying to build after 9-11, that made all the headlines, get blocked? I honestly can't remember. Posted by: LizLem at November 05, 2025 11:32 AM (gWBY1) 167

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.

In Colorado citizens can petition to get an amendment on the ballot. BUT the citizen amendments go to a Title board who write out what goes on the ballot. If the commie appointed title board does not like the measure they will write a confusing title for the ballot. Everyone is mailed a 'blue book' with more details of the amendments and sometimes PACs will advertise to say what an amendment does but the title board can really sabotage citizen amendments. 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 do t really buy into the “quality candidate” thing. People vote for the R or D. Sometimes they’re pissed off at the Rs so they vote D, sometimes it’s the other way around.
Look at the VA races. Jay Jones was an outlier because he’s, well, a fucking terrorist. But for Guv and alt Guv the votes were pretty much the same. People vote party not person.

Democrat governance has wrecked San Francisco, Chicago and Illinois. Yet people continue to live there and the Feds provide money and immigrants to plug budget and population gaps.
The idea that bad governance in NYC, a city already wracked by idiotic communist policies, is going to teach people a lesson is absurd. Bill Ackman is already sucking up to Mamdani.

Working on this with our youngest gen alpha kid. I appreciate his gen is more based and scoffs at political correctness. Good! But there are some things that deserve respect. All the boys in his grade sing dumb brain rot parody songs. One of his friend's faves is set to the melody of "thrift shop" and is Osama singing about about flying planes into the buildings on 9-11. And when the digital clock ticks to 9:11 he'll say "9-11" and giggle. He knows I hate it. His dad says he's just being a kid and they don't understand the gravity of that day yet for those that experienced it. But I hate it. I put my foot down on 9-11 this year and said he could not sing that or make 9-11 jokes all day. We had a convo about Pete Davidson's firefighter dad dying on 9-11. Butting an actual face to the tragedy helped him empathize better. But he still sings the stupid Osama song Song here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pdy8q1cGm9M Posted by: LizLem at November 05, 2025 11:49 AM (gWBY1) 232
@212 Well if we're talking about blue states, California in particular, OK. Not only that, there have been multiple elections featuring 2 propositions on the same ballot that used different language to describe the same proposed law. They were cases where voting "yes" on one had the same effect as voting "no" on the other.

My tell-tale in California's Byzantine language describing the various propositions (which read like the rules of Fizzbin) is to check the bottom statement where it states how much money is to be spent/saved. 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. Posted by: tankascribe at November 05, 2025 11:50 AM (NtoJk) 236

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.

"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"
Trump needs to step up deportations massively, if that is possible with the manpower he has available. What he has accomplished is great but it is the tip of the iceberg. Most of the hard criminals have probably been grabbed so start going after the average illegal working under the table or loitering at Home Depot. Dems will howl with rage but they do that anyway.

Like, why is rent so high, you guys?

"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" 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. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) Imprison! Imprison!

My husband drives Uber as a side gig, and he had a customer complaining about the high gas prices. Was trying to blame Trump.
My husband was like, well actually it's because of the last election. People voted in amendments that raised gas prices fifty cents a gallon. The passenger was shocked. They had no idea they'd voted for that. Um, hello! — I want to say 10ish years ago Seattle (sorry Nurse) had a vote to increase car registration. By a huge amount something like 300% to fund some public transit boondoggle. Passed easily of course. 6 months later when it took effect one of the local news stations had a story about how angry motorists are when renewing their registration. Why I have to pay an extra $175.

I had GPS send me right through the middle of the ghetto one time to avoid a road closure on I-476. That was an experience.

Colorado is touted as a well-educated State, but the education surely - demonstrably! - does not extend to history, civics, nor government. In our elections yesterday apparently few people noticed that they approved setting up slush funds across the Counties, and across the State.
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. Educated electorate, my ass!

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. Posted by: GWB at November 05, 2025 02:50 PM (MFVNc) 448

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 Wiki page has a reference by someone that his art was only decorative and without emotion. What an idiot. 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.

The Met Museum
"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.

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.

CBD, if ever you drive a little south, Princeton finally opened its new museum. It claims to have a collection rivalling the Getty, which sounds insanely overblown to me, and the museum itself is rumored to cost over a $1 billion to build (on an announced budget of around $400 million). If true, imo, Princeton got taken.

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.

No not International. Muslim Brotherhood has a plan, an official plan on how to take over the West from within. The goal is to radicalize Western societies, targeting the youth and the vulnerable..pretty much how they started in the 1920s in Egypt. Remember "the Holy Land Foundation" organization trials ?

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. Posted by: PaleRider at November 05, 2025 11:00 AM (JEcs7) 302

THE WEATHER STARTED GETTING ROUGH,THE TINY SHIP WAS TOSSED
Posted by: Tamaa the Drongo Bird at November 05, 2025 05:30 PM (wGqjj) The Morning Report — 11/5/25![]() 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.

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.

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.

The shutdown did not help by putting hundreds of thousands out of work who could then be the old USAID but now unpaid get out the vote machine for Democrats everywhere.

I agree - Data Republicans on X was posting some numbers last night. Republicans have a huge turnout problem if there is not an energetic engaging candidate like Trump on the ballot. Democrats have a great turn out machine that gives them a huge advantage in any low turnout elections.
--- Candidate quality matters. 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. Who do you think runs those local races, picks those candidates? We are still flushing out the last of the Rove "not as bad as the Dem, so you have to vote for me" candidates and campaigns.

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

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.

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.

NoVA suffers from infestations of AWFL Karens and H1B Hindus. I'm reasonably certain they voted for the ability to sacrifice children to pagan gods as always. And I have no idea why the conservatives in this state keep forgetting that child sacrifice is literally the only thing the AWFLs care about and the H1B Hindus still seem to believe that "transgenders" equals Thai ladyboi hookers rather than manly gorillas in dresses and clown makeup.

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.

>>If we are going to be slaughtered in the mid-terms anyway, why would we want to end the shutdown?
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.

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.

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. >dsausa dot org: History New York, Bernie and Beyond >'The Progressive Promise,' progressives house dot gov. Nothing has been hidden. How's NYC such a surprise? Aren't the progressives controlling the governmental shutdown?! >Let's try this again: KFF, 'Payment Rates for Medicaid Home Care: States’ Responses to Workforce Challenges Feb. 2025' (Please Note Box 1: Final Access Rule’s Provisions on Home Care & the July 2026 target date for states.)

"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." -- Doubling back to PA, land of the gobemouche, NBC News, 'Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority NBC News projects the incumbents survived an up-or-down vote to keep their seats on the battleground state’s high court' Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at November 05, 2025 10:07 AM (NFX2v) 520

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.

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. Posted by: m at November 05, 2025 04:57 AM (RuTUS) 50

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. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at November 05, 2025 05:07 AM (wzUl9) 65

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.

Last night I watched the famous 1938 Best Picture, You Can't Take It With You. James Stewart, Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, Edward Arnold, and a slew of other actors and actresses you recognize but have trouble naming. Directed by Frank Capra, it's a charming semi-screwball comedy derived from the Kaufman/Hart play. The screwball element is the family Jean Arthur belongs to; the situation is not so weird (unlike, say, Bringing Up Baby). Fun stuff.

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.

After the new administration takes over in NYC it will be know as the Democratic Republic of New York City. All communist governments use the Democratic Republic name. DDR, North Korea and others. New York City is broke now, how much longer can it last with the escape of business from the city.

@102/Puddleglum: "I've been having an odd tech issue with Linux Mint 22.2 and Firefox. It happens when I try to post something here. It simply won't post. Nothing happens. 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. Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at November 05, 2025 06:19 AM (O7YUW) 142

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". Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at November 05, 2025 06:36 AM (O7YUW) 169

@172/Puddleglum: If Brave runs fine on LM 22.2 but FireFox doesn't, then definitely try uBlock Origin and NoScript extensions first. I suspect it's an advertising/javascript issue.
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.

Islam is theocratic fascism. Socialism is fascism. In both cases, the state runs the game. The rub for Leftists will be when they discover that Islam's God is greater than the State and demands obeisance.

Well Horde now that I've given my post mortem I'm going to ask for a couple prayers. Mr. nec's cousin is having surgery to repair heart valves damage by an infection caused by a long stay in the hospital after a nasty fall and 2 brain bleeds. He's 84 and the odds for a complete recovery aren't good. Please pray for Charlie.
Mr. nec will hopefully find out something today after his ENT visit on why he has lost a goodly amount of hearing in one ear, overnight hearing loss and now has vertigo. 2 trips to the ER for him since April. Please pray we receive a few answers. Thank you. Posted by: neverenoughcaffeine at November 05, 2025 07:19 AM (2NHgQ) 226

It's not as if NJ has never had Democrat governors before.
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. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at November 05, 2025 07:25 AM (ExV1e) 240

Kathy Hochul is going into a tough campaign for governor next year, she isn't doing the well in the polls. So she has to be careful about how much she supports the mayor Mamdani. NYC does have a huge debt, so bankruptcy (2nd time) could be in the cards. The last bankruptcy was helped by the federal government, I don't expect Trump to lift a finger to help this time. I'd like to see Wall Street make the break and become the Wall Street which can be anywhere, with technology it can be.

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 Posted by: TallDave at November 05, 2025 11:59 AM (lLLli) 272

![]() 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.

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.Not related, yet somehow related (from thisdayinmusic.com) On this date in 1977: The Last Waltz, the movie of The Bands final concert premiered in New York.

NYC Rent Freeze. Geezh. That is a not so backhanded way of government confiscating private property without actually taking title to it. It seems that it instantly puts rental property owners on a path to bankruptcy and at the same time destroys a liquidity in the real estate markets - that leaves NYC in a position to sole "buyer."

One term I get tired of hearing in these areas where the GOP candidate isn't really going to win is how after the D says or does something stupid, everyone says the R is "surging." No, the R candidate is not surging. They may pick up a point or two, but end up easily beaten on election night.

The lesson from Zorhan, Pocahontas, is to lie. Just lie. And double down on the lying. Be a fake suit and say whatever they want to hear.
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. Does it hurt Obama that he refused to endorse Mamdami?

Well, I am done with trying to fix that stupid little car stereo. The TDA 7389A amp chip is obsolete. Can still get it, but would cost a few bucks, plus shipping, and no guarantee at all that it will fix the unit if installed, anyway. And it appears to mediate the power going to the upstream electronics, so putting in something else won't help. For a unit that costs 29 bucks, new in box, there is no point in messing with it any longer.

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.

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.

Ayanna Pressley@AyannaPressley Congrats Mayor-Elect @ZohranKMamdani! What you accomplished is historic. You led with a politics of transformation, built a movement campaign that met people where they are, and showed what's possible when we lay out an affirmative vision for a more just, affordable city. The people have spoken and the Democratic party should listen to them. With our rights and freedoms under attack, we need visionary leaders who serve the people—not special interests or billionaires—and who are committed to building an America where everyone has their basic needs met.

The results tonight aren't surprising, though the increased margins from previous off-year elections are a concern. Hopefully, this will spur the GOP to work hard on GOTV efforts and to support Scott Pressler and all the campaign workers who aspire to do what Pressler did in PA in the 2026 election.
I can't say that I'm convinced that the GOP will do this in 2026, but I am more hopeful with Trump's people in charge than the previous GOP leadership. Posted by: Sasquatch, the Original Trans-Wookie at November 04, 2025 11:02 PM (VyHyF) 245

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...
Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at November 04, 2025 10:28 PM (uv8gn) 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.

Posted by: LRob in OK, Moron and Lunatic at November 04, 2025 10:55 PM (47diA) Nice! Please avoid powder-coating the frame. It looks nice when new, but if gets scratched or chipped, it can come off in sheets. Paint, if scratched or chipped, can be touched up with more paint. 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.

Mamdani's acceptance speech sounds a lot more like he is planning to go to war on American. I take this as an opening salvo of a coming long march towards a glorious Communist future. He is talking revolution. The future he is laying out doesn't include me.

Please, the voters pleaded, tax the shit out of us in VA and NJ, and hey, what's wrong with their new Dem AG wanting to publicly wish his opponent and his kids dead? If they don't agree with the Left, threaten them, scare the shit out of them! No LeftyDem prosecutor will stop them. Hey, who needs police? Defund them!
Call it what it is: slow, certain suicide. Drip, drip, drip. So when are Zoran's followers going to start busting out the windows of Jewish shops? Kristallnacht 2.0, baby! Don't worry, Zoran followers, no TV news outlet will report on it, they are still busy with OrangeMan Bad. I have my doubts for any sanity in the 2026 mid-terms. Tonight, stupidity and failure WIN!

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 04, 2025 11:21 PM (npFr7) ******** 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 ... Perhaps it really is time to leave.

If I had to guess what the a-hole's appeal is:
- General liberal/leftist/student freakout reaction against DJT and his policies - Some women find him physically adorable - Some foreign-born voters in NYC hate the USA - ? 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: gp at November 04, 2025 11:58 PM (7imtn) 369

The city only can freeze about 50% of rents. That’s the 1/2 that is either rent controlled or rent assisted. The other half is free market. The free market half will explode in pricing. The half that’s frozen will have landlords going no longer doing any maintenance.

So, if Mamdani gets a compliant rent control board, likely, 1/2 of the rents are frozen. Good luck undoing that if it gets in place. Holy smokes.

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. Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at November 05, 2025 12:30 AM (uv8gn) 425

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.

In the ocean County, NJ turnout votes, counted at noon, they say that republicans are up 9.1% and dems are up 2.4%, compares to the 2024 turnout. If that holds, there's a republican surge?

Not an SR-71, but I worked at wind tunnel that had a set of old bulky WW2 leather full flight suits that the windtunnel crew used just to keep warm when walking the back loop during winter maintenance. That part was a bit underground but still chilly in the winter.
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. Posted by: banana Dream at November 04, 2025 07:34 PM (3uBP9) 39

Any videos online you recommend I show them to expand their Egypt learning experience? Or fun movies set in ancient Egypt? (Beyond the mummy or Stargate or the fifth element, lol.)

In the ocean County, NJ turnout votes, counted at noon, they say that republicans are up 9.1% and dems are up 2.4%, compares to the 2024 turnout. If that holds, there's a republican surge?

Why do you think he was on “60 Minutes” this week? 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.” Posted by: Duncanthrax at November 04, 2025 07:53 PM (0sNs1) 94

I'll probably vote for Wesley Hunt. I can't vote for Paxton . He's slimey. And just as much a grifter.
Posted by: the way I see it at November 04, 2025 07:50 PM Hunt is my rep, the replacement for the re-districted Eyepatch McCain. He's just finishing his first term in Congress, his first elected office, and he's jumping into the Senator race against Paxton? Something ain't right. Hunt's first few votes were disappointing, more aligned with GOPe than with the district's voters. Posted by: Count de Monet at November 04, 2025 07:56 PM (wVcYX) 109

Loudon vote almost fully in - matching normal 65-35 for Abi that Fairfax tends to be (with Fairfax 75-25)...the shutdown and fed gov cuts all year played the role they were gonna play in the top spot. We'll see about the other 2 races, but I think Miyares is the one who might pull it out.
AKA - you can't win the state if you lose fed gov and defense industry that big...

Posted by: Cow Demon at November 04, 2025 07:59 PM (vwL3N) 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. Posted by: Count de Monet at November 04, 2025 08:06 PM (wVcYX) 150

Posted by: zigggggy at November 04, 2025 08:21 PM (/Pwrg) 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. Posted by: Nova Local at November 04, 2025 08:25 PM (tOcjL) 230

A few Republicans in congress are finally getting the picture that Democrats will do anything to get their chosen ones elected. All they have to do is get their idiot voters out to the polls by riling them up. So they shut down the government and their stupid voters blame the Republicans. Cruz said yesterday that the shutdown will end Thursday once the elections are over.

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. Posted by: Arbalest at November 04, 2025 08:43 PM (FlRtG) 279
>>> Let's not fool ourselves, the democrats hate us and would happily kill us.
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. Dave Chappell has a bit about not robbing another man of his food and his living. It's the lowest you can go. Dems want us all starving. And as we go so din our families. All dead through ostracizing. It's horrible. Posted by: LizLem at November 04, 2025 08:43 PM (gWBY1) 280

Interesting Facebook phenomenon (everyone here in the sticks is on Facebook--lots of cottage industry, small-town gossip, cheaper than websites). Their algorithm will, of course, track you on your clicks and pitch accordingly. Click on football videos, that's what you get. Puppies frolicking with monkeys, ditto.
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.

Based on these election results, the Communists are being successful in a coup. The hatred is off the chart. We, as thinking, informed citizens, are the target of that hatred. And we know where this will lead.
This is sub-optimal. The Constitutional Nation has lost control of the judiciary, at least 50% of Congress, and the Federal Bureaucracy. A Nika Riot in several cities may work. But we need to think of more options. There are some OR game theories that work pretty well. Head on a swivel, have a plan, and OPSEC. We need peace imposed in America first.

Seems pretty obvious they don't give a damn about optics, just power. I have no doubt if and when Democrats get back in power they will nuke the filibuster completely instead of just for judges.

Perhaps the lesson should be, don't underestimate how much people hate Donald Trump, and what they will do to spite him. Don't know about elsewhere, but here in Virginia, every election from city council to the Governor was framed as about Trump, or MAGA. Throw in a side of abortion, and that was that.

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. Posted by: JackStraw at November 04, 2025 09:26 PM (viF8m) 403

Rent Freeze. Geezh. That is a not so backhanded way of government confiscating private property without actually taking title to it. It seems that it instantly puts rental property owners on a path to bankruptcy and at the same time destroys a liquidity in the real estate markets - that leaves NYC in a position to sole "buyer."

If Milo is being authentic, I see an interview with him recently where he said his husband, who was black, was the closest he ever felt to being truly loved and supported by another being. It was a supportive, healing relationship.
When he decided return to the catholic fold and not be gay, he had to divorce him. And it was the roughest thing he's ever done. But he said his soul was more important than a relationship. Idk if any of it is true. But even a little bit true is hutting. He's single and at peace, but lonely. Maybe he's just jealous of Scott being an out and proud and accepted conservative gay.

I put the steps I use... https://m0neyappb0t5.blogspot.com/ Posted by: Ceasar DuBuque at November 05, 2025 02:13 PM (Q5KN2) Quick HitsRepresentative 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.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. Eric Daugherty Riley GainesCommenters wondered about this: Hans Mahncke Chip RoyAs 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.

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.

>> 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.

I am in NoVA, and we never had much economic downturn, no matter what was happening in the rest of the country, because the fed only grows, doesn't get smaller.

If Trump succeeds in significantly downsizing the fed, Virginia will see change in the long term, but right now? ugh Posted by: barbarausa at November 04, 2025 06:42 PM (enw9G) 78

If you didn't see it on Monday Scott Adams did a video where he said that Dan Scavino, Don Jr, RFK and others were contacting him all weekend long and getting him the experimentally treatment he requested.
I guess there are reasons the drug can only be dispensed in certain medical facilities and has to be tuned to each particular patient so it might take a week or 2 but he is getting the treatment.

What is the process for impeachment of Boasberg?
Posted by: Frank Barone at November 04, 2025 06:43 PM (IifOV) same as for impeachment of any Federal official. Majority in the House, 2/3 in the Senate.

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.

It didn't buy Rush (AM not FM) an extra decade. But it did buy him time to get the congressional Medal of Honor, thanks be.

In the ocean County, NJ turnout votes, counted at noon, they say that republicans are up 9.1% and dems are up 2.4%, compares to the 2924 turnout. If that holds, there's a republican surge?

Posted by: Ripley at November 04, 2025 07:48 PM (PTDkx) Climate Change: CBS Fires Almost Its Entire "Climate Change" Unitlolololol 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 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.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. 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: ![]()

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.

Eh, at the end of the day Bari Weiss is a default Leftist.
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."

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.

"...producing vital work."
_______________________________ 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.

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.

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. 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.

Women of less-than-stellar looks can be made very attractive with the right makeup and lighting. The porn industry once ran entirely on that fact.
Posted by: Don't blame the alligators at November 04, 2025 06:01 PM (1Nv0l) After 40 decades I have figured out how my husband judges women on tv. He will say, "I'll bet she does not look good in the morning before her make up." I apparently passed this test that I didn't know about, thankfully. His newest deal is false eyelashes. He will almost elbow me in public to make sure I see them on girls. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 04, 2025 06:10 PM (MAl//) 256
Looks like a foreign policy issue if you squint your eyes just right you can hear El Presidente say that is what is using it for...
But it's ok if he just denies all imports from any country. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher ------- IMHO it *is* a foreign policy issue. The Constitution gives the power to the legislature for generating revenue and that is significant, but it does not take the power from the Executive for purposes of security or foreign policy. This sounds like splitting hairs but I don't think it is. It only has not been viewed that way in past. Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at November 04, 2025 06:10 PM (4Eyhp) 257

The UPS plane crash in Louisville...
Plane, a MD-11 flying for UPS, apparently had an engine fire upon takeoff. It crashed about 1/2 mile from the airport in an industrial park. It was full of fuel. The fire is... intense.

I’ve asked this before regarding 1-10? Is it normal curve or Stan is? If normal curve then we should adjust to a hundred point or more scale. If it’s line up 10 random women and put in order of beauty then 10 is fine but much more common.

272 definitely a normal distribution. I don't know if we should reserve 10 for those 5 standard deviations above the mean though. That seems too restrictive, and too much subject to argument.
Even on a personal level, I don't think I could reliably distinguish between 9 and 10. Ask me again tomorrow and I might reverse the ranking. Posted by: Don't blame the alligators at November 04, 2025 06:21 PM (1Nv0l) 288
