Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - October 12, 2025 [Anniversarius Rex]

20251107-image(6).jpg

***

"Sir, are you aware that tonight is the first anniversary of TRex doing the Wednesday ONT?"

20251102-20251028_090848.jpg

As Weasel might say, "Holy Shitballs! How in the ever-loving Hell has it been a year of TRex doing the Wednesday ONT?!"

Holy Shitballs indeed. Thank you, Horde.

***

Good evening. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.

Welcome to the mostly peaceful Wednesday night ONT which means another random assortment of interweb odds, ends, and mystery clicks. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Prepare your puns and fire at will. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional!

***

I wanted to get a gift for the Horde for the occasion. Other than music, movies, food, bewbs and guns, what does the Horde like most? My gift to you:

20251028-groan.jpg

20251028-mandarin.jpg

It was hard getting over my addiction to the Hokey Pokey.
But I've turned myself around and that’s what it's all about.

I was so confused last night as my printer started playing music
Turns out the paper was just jamming.

Not all math puns are funny.
Just sum.

What do you call a girl standing in the middle of a tennis court?

Breaking (broken?) news: After 208 years, The Farmers Almanac will stop publishing. The last edition will be the 2026 annual (on sale now). Access to digital content will end after December 2025.

This decision, though difficult, reflects the growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the Almanac in today's chaotic media environment. "We are incredibly proud of the legacy we leave behind and grateful to our loyal staff, readers, contributors, and partners who have supported us through the years," Duncan added. "Though the Almanac will no longer be available in print or online, its spirit will live on in the values it championed: simplicity, sustainability, and connection to nature."

***

You may be cool, but are you "I jumped an F-14 Tomcat off a ski jump" cool?

20251107-F14.jpg

This is not AI. The F-14 did 28 test launches off a 9-degree "ski jump" at NAS Patuxent River in 1982. The ramp was part of a Navy program to test the feasibility of a potential new class of carrier with a short flight deck and no catapults. The idea was abandoned because of the weight penalty from the undercarriage strengthening that would have been required.

I know what you're thinking. Fine for the F-14, but no ski jumps for the F-18, right?

I know what you're thinking. Fine for the F-14 and F-18, but no modern jets get jumped off a ski jump, right?

Now you know. Or if you knew, you've been reminded.

***

On this the day after Veterans Day, we pause a moment to remember at the TRexes that served their country.

Today was the last day of US penny production for ordinary circulation, ending 232 years of production. The Philadelphia Mint struck the final penny earlier today. The cost of making a penny is currently 3.69 cents per penny. The penny remains legal tender, so you can still protest pay your parking tickets in buckets of pennies.

The Mint will still make limited quantities for collectors and "historical" purposes, so the "final" really isn't the "final, final." Kind of like seeing the Eagles, Kiss or Motley Crue in concert...

***

I know what you're thinking. "I need some different decorations for Christmas this year." I've got just the answer - a seven and a half foot tall animated Wookie. Only $349 at the big orange home improvement store.

20251110-Wookie.jpg

I know what you're thinking. "That's a bit spendy. How about something just as festive, but not as expensive?" I've got two answers for you - a seven foot tall Darth Vader or a 6 foot tall Stormtrooper. Only $299 at the same big orange box store!

20251110-Darth.jpg

20251110-Stormtrooper.jpg

I know what you're thinking. "Those are great, but I don't have much room and I'm dreaming of a droid Christmas." I've got just the thing for you - a three and a half foot tall R2-D2 for the same price.

20251110-R2D2.jpg

Never mind. R2-D2 is out of stock.

Bah. Just get the seven foot tall inflatable dino wearing sunglasses playing the guitar. $66 and done. Much easier and as God and Santa intended.

Small town life has a lot of great things to offer.

A few months ago we went to the DMV to renew our licenses. There was a young woman there with her mother. She was there to get her first driver's license. She and the DMV employee went outside so she could take the driving test. Everyone was rooting for her.

When she came back in she was grinning and everyone there stood up and applauded her.

16 From the cafe-
Abortion was illegal long before the 19th Amendment. Many suffragettes were pro-abortion and pro-birth control.

This feels like blaming men for the poor choices of women.
Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director at

This is absolutely not true. In fact, the birth control advocates were very frustrated with how conservative the suffragettes were. The suffragettes actively avoided birth control discussions, they did not want the two things combined. Most suffragettes were fine with the current thoughts around marriage, to include submitting to their husbands. Sanger was not a Suffragette.

It was under the wing of a test slave F/A-18.

I was upgrading some of their logistical IT stuff for parts management.

They have/had an ejection seat test thing there too. Saw it in operation once. No thanks.

I went out and had a look. Sky is mostly overcast; could not see any stars. If I stare hard, I can see a faint pinkish curdy texture to the sky, kind of like curdled milk. So maybe an Aurora is raging above th clouds. Will look again later.

39 Here’s a question/ponder for the Horde, with AOC publicly declaring Chuck and the other 8 persona non grata and vowing they’ll all be primaried- what’s the short term consequence? Do the somewhat normals try to go crazy left, or do they instead go Fetterman and move closer to center? Can’t win a primary if youre not crazy, but much less likely to win a general in most states if you are.

50 Oh! And while we are on the topic, birth control is as old as time, starting with its mention in Genesis (withdrawal). Aristotle is the first on record to suggest using things like cedar oil as a spermicide, Casanova and his lemons (yikes), Dr. Knowlton and his after intercourse solutions. Are you noticing a trend here in who is researching and working on birth control? Men. I will give you a point in your male direction with Pliney the Elder who is the first to suggest abstinence to avoid pregnancy.

94 I'm thinking about buying my husband some leather chaps for Christmas. Mostly to see what he does as he's never ridden a horse or been a cowboy (ok, he did help with the cattle when we were first married).

Do I look up chaps and AI then messes with me endlessly?

This came up today because as he left for his lunch...and, yes, I offer to make him a sandwich...I told him he looked Western today. We live in the West and I said he needs a cowboy hat and boots. He brought up the chaps, which is where I got the idea.

Since NSA is reading this with AI I will probably get chaps mentioned on Pinterest now when I look. He was shopping for a new chair recently and leather chairs appeared on MY Pinterest. You can no longer have private talks about chaps or anything in life.

Yeah, I’m sure Sanger was against the 19th Amendment. Very plausible!
Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director

Sanger fled to Europe because she was afraid she would be prosecuted for violating the Comstock Act, Mary Ware Dennett was at the center of the Suffragette movement. When Sanger came back, Dennett put a lot of space between her and Sanger because of Sanger’s violating the law, and Sanger being a disgusting human being. Sanger asked for Dennett’s support for the National birth control League. Dennett said nope, not gonna do it! I am not suggesting Sanger didn’t want women to vote, I am saying she was not part of the suffragette movement. She had her own crazy thing going.

The Great Book of Modern Warplanes, 1987 edition on pg. 601.

Caption reads - An F-14 attached to the Naval Air test center at Patuxent River goes off the ski ramp. While it would appear to have little application for carrier operations other than vertical-landing aircraft such as the Harrier, the ski jump, which can be erected in just two hours, seems to have possibilities when used to assist short takeoffs from a damaged airfield.

193 77 Also, the Christmas Wookie reminds me of the infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special", a copy of which, recorded off a broadcast in Baltimore and complete with MST3K wisecracks, I proudly own.

The show is astonishingly bad. Think of the worst TV show you've ever seen. Then imagine that that show had been scripted and directed by Kathleen Kennedy. That show would STILL be better than "The Star Wars Holiday Special"!
========
I really llked the Holiday special when the family watched it on its one and only broadcast airing back in the day. Hey, it was 1978, I was young, all things Star Wars were cool then. Watched it again 20 years later....it hadn't aged well at all... Mark Hamill trying to emote with half of his face stapled on, carrie Fisher high as a kite, Harrison Ford acting like his family was being held at gunpoint, pervy Uncle Lumpy.... When an appearance by Jefferson Starship can't save it, or even the first appearance of Boba Fett couldn't save it.

The Rifftrax version of it really kicked butt though!!

Are you talking about the Moskva that the Ukrainians sunk a few years ago? Yes that happened. The Moskva was a shitshow, poorly maintained Soviet holdover that had systems that didn't interoperate well. It's suspected that their air defense radar was turned off at the time of the attack due to it causing interference with some other system.

The carrier Admiral Kuznetzov is in dry dock and will probably stay there until it is scrapped. Another crappy Soviet holdover. They disembarked the crew and sent them to the front lines IIRC.

What gets complex is isostatic adjustment, which changes the relative elevations as the weight of ice or water gets shifted around.

Slid them off the trailer, stood them up on the ground, long axis vertical, and walked them a few yard across the grass, and up a ramp into the shop, and then slid them sideways a couple of yards on the smooth concrete floor to lean them up against the wall. Never had to lift the full weight of one of them.

No it isn’t. You certainly can practice eugenics (and dysgenics) via murder, but murder has historically probably been more dysgenic than eugenic.

Executing murderers is eugenic.

260 Well, I did exactly that today to shift 13 4X10 panels of 7/16 OSB sheathing from my trailer to temporary storage in the shop. Slid them off the trailer, stood them up on the ground, long axis vertical, and walked them a few yard across the grass, and up a ramp into the shop, and then slid them sideways a couple of yards on the smooth concrete floor to lean them up against the wall. Never had to lift the full weight of one of them.

Seeing as how he's never ridden a horse in his life due to Disneyland trauma when he was 4yrs old, I am not spending a lot. I may look for a good cowboy hat to keep his little bald spot warm this winter instead. I think that will do the trick (for me).

His brother's burro at Disneyland pooped on his burro's head and he's never been the same regarding horses.

He did not ride horses when he could on our cattle farm, or be led around like our sons. I can ride, not gracefully at full gallop, but we had horses. I know enough that during Mad Maxx world ending I can saddle and ride for our grub at ye olde trading post. He can deal with the chickens as they are one of my childhood phobias after being pecked and then an insane rooster who chased my brother and me daily.

Otherwise he's perfectly normal!

When I did the sheetrock at my place in AZ, I made a panel toter. Strip of plywood 15" by 4 feet. Screw and glue a 15" piece of 1X2 across one end, and screw and glue a short 3" piece of plywood to the other edge of the 1X2. Finished toter, seen edge-on, looks like an elongated letter "J". Cut a hand-size hole in the main piece of plywood about an arm's length down from the top. Takes 5 minutes to make using scraps to be found around your construction site. To use it, stand panel of sheetrock upright on its long edge. Lift one end, slide the J-hook under it until you reach the middle. Grab the hole, and lift the whole thing like it were a piece of heavy luggage.

Yes and no. If you look on their silver for sale pages on Apmex and SDBullion, most of them are marked "Notify me when this is available", instead of listing prices. My local coin shop was down to maybe 30 oz last week - no Silver Eagles or Maple Leafs available at all, they couldn't even order any, the mints aren't shipping, and all of the silver being refined by smelters is being shipped to the Comex and London exchanges to cover the huge short positions the banks are in. 100 Oz bars are not available anywhere.

I am not a metals trader but: In normal times spot is lower than futures costs because the futures cost has to include the cost of the metal, and the opportunity cost lost for not getting physical delivery until later - so most traders buy and sell futures without actually touching the metal and take their money back with that bit of extra as profit for putting up the money in the first place.
When suddenly everyone wants metal in their hands, and there is a sudden feeling that no one who has been selling futures actually has the silver on hand to deliver, then the future opportunity cost is reversed because it is no longer the opportunity cost that is important, but the risk of default is suddenly a risk, so the spot price is higher than the futures cost

Something that blew my mind about isostatic adjustment. At first blush, you'd think moving water closer to the poles as ice sheets would be moving mass closer to the poles, ergo, moment of inertia would be less, earth would speed up a smidge. Thus cold earth = fast earth, and hot earth = slow earth.

In fact, it's just the opposite in the long term equilibrium. Earth with ice sheets has a higher moment of inertia than an ice free earth! And ice age earth is more oblate than an ice-free earth.

In fact the isostatic rebound from the last ice age end is still ongoing and countering the tidal braking of the Moon on earth's rotation. Earth is, long term, slowing down, but not as fast as it would be by tidal braking alone. (short term, it's been speeding up relatively big time, which I've rambled about).

From memory (which is dangerous) - MSFT IPOd at $21 per share. I don't think they raised more than $60m in total (after underwriting fees).

The other nugget of history is that Bill Gates wanted to keep MSFT private, but the employee equity program was so expansive that it was approaching 500 owners. Once a company has more than 500 owners, SEC rules required public company registration.

339 Publius, I have this personal theory that the South American Glaciation blocked the Drake Passage, and so broke up the circumpolar current, allowing South America to be far warmer than it should have been. It also would have been one of the greater sources of water in the freshwater pulse. When the the Laurentide glaciers started melting the rising ocean levels would have floated the Drake Passage sheet off the sea bed where it was grounded, and allowed it to break up and melt as it washed into the Atlantic.
It might answer what caused the meltwater pulses during the end of the Younger Dryas

20 The mama Golden visiting her baby son made me sad for her. She's worried, but he looks to be doing ok.

Son's current Golden as a puppy spent a lot of time in emergency vet's. For eating mulch and the baby's socks. IV's took care of the blockage.

His first Golden would come to our house in FL and eat through coconuts. No one seemed concerned about him.

He'd also eaten feathers from his bed, part of a particle board table, and most of a book as a puppy. Sure he pooped white paper mache for awhile, but he was ok. They did not listen to me that he still needed crating at 6mo old. Came home to feathers in the air like snow from his bed and the rest just happened organically in the same day. He was crazy.

69 46 Great horned owls do not make very good nests, they use old nests from other birds and add some things but not very much and then the nest disintegrates. So not smart in that respect but awesome hunters. - CaliGirl

Tell me about it! I was walking my dog one night in the front yard when I lived in Northern Virginia, and an owl swooped down out of a tree right in front of me and made off with a rabbit. The poor dog - a pitbull mix, that looked fierce but was actually quite pusillanimous, and who I was halfway convinced had seen, but ignored, the rabbit - was momentarily traumatized.

I love the sound of owls hooting softly in the night.

I admit I still enjoy a lot of episodes of it. But yes, there were problems, and sometimes Alda went nutzo with trying to bring praise to himself, the character of Hawkeye, and the relentless anti-war POV.

Having said that? Faith was treated with respect on the show; see how they portrayed Father Mulcahy. Col. Flagg was a nut but Potter OTOH was a true patriot.

And Charles Emerson Winchester III was a great character (and replacement for Frank Burns), an open conservative who could be a huge elitist snob, but was also a brilliant surgeon, often times thoughtful, and held his own with Hawk and BJ's antics, plus he was never made to apologize for his conservative POV.

78 Somebody here today noted UC San Diego facing a wild increase in remedial math students. I remain stunned, even though I know education generally has become a dumpster fire. UCSD was since its founding a hard-core math and science school on the top tier.

Here's a review of the wreckage of this once great institution:

https://tinyurl.com/44t4n837

At least 10 years ago, the CSU system (that's the "State" colleges like Long Beach State) announced they would no longer publish numbers on remedial math/English stats. Or was it that they wouldn't even be offering such classes, with the appealing rationale that students had to pay for such but they didn't count towards graduation? Either way. The %s were scandalous, of course.

Having lectured and graded papers at a CSU, I can confirm that the illiteracy and inability to think critically are terrifying.

92 Cheetahs are neurotic wrecks. It was discovered that pairing them up with dog buddies helped a lot. Calmed them down, seems to relieve their panic/paranoia level. This is now standard, at least at some zoos.

Another thing learned from the world famous SD Zoo. Owls sensor suites are even more amazing than one might think. Not just the night vision, which is amazing. They can sense the *heartbeats* of prey at a great distance. Owls are considered a major control on the rodent population, globally, and account for a large % of such that are harvested by nature.

The only thing I can add that I learned through experience is barn owls and their fledglings venture out in the evening about an hour or so later than the GHO and they're more fearful of humans than GHO. The barn owls fly at my head shrieking if I go outside when they have babies and the GHO ignore me if I go outside to watch their babies hunt.
If I get too close to the GHO baby on the ground the parents start bill clicking and hooting and I will leave because I don't want to find out what happens next.

111 CaliGirl in the burbs here so no barn owls, but the GHO "rotate" around the neighborhoods, it seems. Our section still has power/telephone poles (not yet undergrounded), so they perch atop those and recon the landscape. Love to hear them, picture them vacuuming the rats out of the area.

We do have some sort of small owl that burrows into the ground (forget the name), but only down near the border (imagine lots of their habitat is kaput by now).

Maybe, but mine were impossible to deal with if they didn't get outside. Indoor cats when it was wet and cold, but they hated being indoors in the summer. That is why I started feeding them wet food morning and night, so I could at least count noses daily.

WKRP in Cincinnati was about a young single man moving to a medium-sized midwest city to work for a mid-market radio station replete with whacky characters.

And both were MTM Productions. Both used "bullpen" sets. As The Mary Tyler Moore Show came to its end, they just shuffled the premise around for WKRP.

A show that is both dated (its setting being terrestrial radio) and still very, very watchable.

Coat it in olive oil before you cook it. Do it with steak as well. It locks in the moisture so that even well done meat is still tender. It's so effective that my wife had me check and recheck the internal temperature, because "well done" always tasted like a desert.

The same is true with chicken. "Done" chicken was dry, don't you know, that's how you can tell it is done.

Even an average cut of steak now is like butter with a marinade and some oil.

The real-life Wyatt Earp only killed one man during his time in Kansas, and that one died from infection after Earp winged him. The OK Corral gunfight was the first time he deliberately shot to kill anyone; the TV show was trying to be accurate in having him avoid killing during the earlier seasons, but since they were inventing most of the gunfights he was involved in during those seasons, you'd think they'd have invented a few bad guys for him to kill. When the show eventually got to the OK Corral, they featured the most accurate screen representation of the famous gunfight; it puts most others to shame, and remarkably for early-1960s TV, it's done in slow motion.

181 NPR is completely scripted from the main announcer to the color voice they bring in to explain the news. Some of the personalities sound like they are reading a script.

one day soon, the entire process will be a small group of news aggregators pulling information off of Twitter and Reuters, a desk to receive reports from stringers, and a writers' room putting it into carefully nuanced scripts so the various AI voices can read them for the broadcast - and will sound more realistic.

And all those literary coolies will probably be paid between 3 to 6K a month each.

I didn't think of how that sounded, I am not in the city, I am decidedly suburban, and everyone lets their cats run free. People in cities don't have that option, but they still have cats.

I am transitioning the new kitten to being comfortable outdoors, he is about 7 months old. The older tom seems to be teaching him how to hunt, of course he is no good at hunting birds either so I don't worry. I worry less because the young cat is also afraid of overhead birds.
However, his name should have been Tom Sawyer, because he is irrepressible and is always at 100%

A lot of what the GOP has been doing is force Dems to make bad votes, the ones they can hammer them with next year and provide citations and stuff.

What's interesting is that the Dems are doing the opposite of what parties normally do. Usually you have the moderates jump ship, but the safe seats hold the line. Schumer had the safe seats (or people not seeking re-election) take a dive because there are no moderates. Even in purple states, Dems fear primary challenges. That's a pretty messed up dynamic.

Since no one cares...

Aura Lea was published by Poulton, an Englishman who had come to the USA with his family as a boy in 1838, and Fosdick in 1861. It was a sentimental ballad at a time when upbeat and cheerful songs were more popular in the music halls. It became popular as a minstrel song, and the tune was also taken up by the U.S. Military Academy as a graduating class song, called "Army Blue"; new lyrics by L. W. Becklaw were sung to the original melody.

Then, in 1956, Ken Darby, (mentioned above for Wyatt Earp TV series), adapted the melody and created Elvis Presley's big hit "Love Me Tender."

Now you know the rest of the story.

My K-machine did not survive the trip from California, and I didn't want to part with $100 to replace it. Found a reasonable unit at Walmart that brewed both K-cups and regular ground coffee. It actually has separate brew modes for each choice. I like the regular ground mode with Lavazza Colombian. Oh, and you can brew any size from 6-14 oz. The ground coffee basket holds enough to provide an impressive 12 oz cuppa. Only set me back twenty bucks..

313 "Illiteracy among the shipbuilding work force in Norfolk might be close to 50%."

From NavSea down to the yards, pretty ugly in many ways for years. Build quality slipping, designs awful. And for many years though not now, these troubled ships manned by dispirited personnel being lectures on "racism" and "inclusion". The rust on many ships is now infamous.

Current SecNav said in his confirmation hearings that he got texts from Trump at night asking about the rust on the ships. Hilarious - and Trump at his best.

Things are improving across the board now but the inertia of de-industrialization and collapsing educational/social standards weighs heavily. Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame said an industry group (submarine builders) contacted him, asking for any leads on up to 5K machinists desperately needed for current work. He said he had *nothing* to offer them. Yikes.

No True Scotsman. “Feminine” women may reject it, but the majority of voting women do not. KY passed a pro-abortion referendum. Do you think that was all (or even majority) men?

If the 19th Amendment vanished tomorrow, abortion would be outlawed nationwide. Them’s the facts. Universal suffrage == child sacrifice.

Quick Hits

Live voting in the House to end the shutdown.


Lumpy Jack: The GOP isn't "taking away Obamcare subsidies." Those "emergency temporary subsidies" were always designed to expire.

During a portion of an interview with NPR aired on Monday's broadcast of "All Things Considered," Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) stated that the Affordable Care Act subsidies that were at issue in the government shutdown are not being taken away by Republicans, since "Democrats designed those tax credits to expire at [the end of] this year." And Republicans were saying they would take about extending the tax credits.

You know when pay channels offer you teaser rates of $3 per month for three months? And then the price zooms up to $15 per month but they trust you're not paying attention and will keep paying forever to watch old episodes of Hello Larry?

That's every single Democrat spending "plan." They claim the spending will only be for a short period of time and then when that time is up, guess what? It was always intended to be permanent spending until the end of days.

Two major proxy advisory firms -- which I guess analyze corporations and recommend to shareholders who to vote for in corporate board elections -- are telling Cracker Barrel shareholders to dump the Woke DEI marketing executive who drove the stock into the ground.


Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis advised investors to vote against the re-election of Gilbert Dávila, a DEI specialist, at the annual shareholder meeting on Nov. 20 -- slamming his "faulty" board-level marketing expertise.

The proxy firms seemingly implied that Dávila -- also one of Cracker Barrel's top individual shareholders -- played a significant role in the company's rebranding.

"Dávila is highlighted in board materials as one of two marketing specialists among the independent directors. He is also a member of a standing board committee whose purview is to assess social and political risks to the company's business," ISS wrote in a note.

However, the proxy firms did not push for the removal of CEO Julie Felss Masino, who took over the chain in November 2023.

Why?

Let me guess: Because she's a woke white woman with ginormous Attitude Glasses, which give her enhanced powers to Judge You, right? And we can't impose male standards of success or failure on woke women, who are alternately Super-Empowered Girlbosses or Damsels who need rescuing as the circumstances may require.

In more woke corporate news, the new non-woke head of Paramount devised a tricky way to get the woke non-workers to quit: He demanded that they "RTO," or Return to Office, and finally take off their Covid Jammies and put on normal work clothes and go to the office to work like all people have done since... well since people have had jobs.

Six hundred people quit, which I imagine was not unwelcome by the owners.

Fortune, which used to be a business magazine and is now just another woke propaganda outfit, highlights the "cost" to the company of the severance packages.

As if those aren't being paid gladly.

About 600 employees in the company's Los Angeles and New York offices at the vice-president level and below took the buyout, according to company disclosures filed on Monday--and the severance packages set Paramount back $185 million. The filings cited restructuring costs "associated with actions to align the business around our strategic priorities."

I do understand and appreciate the advantages of working from home. (Obviously.) And I know this is a boon to many, and many workers will put in a good day of work from home.

But I've also seen all those "Day in the Life" Tik-Toks of entitled non-workers spending their whole day "at work" drinking Himalayan frog tea or whatever. And if that's what a lot of Millennials and Zoomers are doing at work, I cannot imagine what they're doing at home in their jam-jams.

Musk's AI Grok is based. It refuses to role-play as a transgender, because that would require denying biological fact.

Julie Kelly does not think much of The Blaze's "bombshell" revelation of the J5 bomber based entirely on gait analysis. Actually, her theory is that there is no J5 bomber, and that the video of someone walking around the Capitol on the evening of January 5 does not show that person actually planting bombs. She thinks the bombs -- or "bombs" -- were planted on January 6h. I would guess (but do not know) she thinks that the bombs were planted opportunistically after trouble had started, to sweeten the case against MAGA and the J6ers.

Whatever the merits of that theory, here's her new reporting:

@julie_kelly2

5h

I spoke this morning with the individual believed to be "Person of Interest 3" (POI3) in the FBI's original pipe bomb investigation related to January 6.

I will not name this individual to protect his privacy since he just found out today (by me) that he had been under FBI surveillance for allowing another individual--"Person of Interest 2" (POI2)--to use his Metro card to travel to Washington DC for Stop the Steal events on Jan 5 and Jan 6.

I think this is the Metro card the FBI believes was used by the "bomber." I don't know if Kelly believes that.

POI2, according to a Congressional report published last year, was seen on security cameras on the morning of Jan 5 "photographing a dumpster next to the location where the RNC pipe bomb would later be planted." In the days after Jan 6, the FBI considered "POI2's movements to be 'highly suspicious' and considered POI2 as a 'possible accomplice' to the pipe bomber."

Both POI2 and POI3 were placed under physical surveillance by the FBI's Washington Field Office.

POI2 told investigators in an interview on Jan 19. 2021 that he had "traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend First Amendment activities on Capitol Hill on January 5 and that throughout the day, POI2 photographed 'objects bearing numerals' including doors, dumpsters, and other objects and intended to use these photographs in a book he was writing."

Both men were ruled out as suspects by late Jan 2021.

POI3 is a 66-year-old man currently employed by the Air Force. Here is what he told me today about the use of his Metro card by his friend (POI2) who he has known for more than 55 years.

"I have a friend who came up for the January 6 Stop the Steal protest, he lives out of state. I've known him since 1969, we went to elementary and high school together. He's from my understanding not affiliated with anything illegal or immoral. He is kind of like an evangelist, a religious educator [who] goes all around the world preaching the gospel but he's very Republican, very pro-Trump person.

He is probably 67 [years-old] now. He was probably 63 on January 6.

He came up a day before or a couple days before the January 6 date and I took him to the Metro. He stayed at my house. I took him to the Metro and I let him borrow my Metro card. I have an extra Metro card, I have one that I use to ride the Metro every day and one that I keep [as] my personal thing.

This was during the pandemic so I was working from home the entire time. So he went downtown the day prior to January 6 and he was downtown on January 6. I know he was doing some type of journaling for this event. I know he posted some stuff on Facebook. He was keeping a log telling everybody about all the events and activities that took place.

And then I think on the 7th of January, I took him back to Dulles to catch his flight. He came up again for the inauguration [this year] and I let him stay at my house again.

Now that relates to my friend who I've known since elementary school who I grew up with.

I lived next door to this individual who supposedly is identified as the pipe bomber from everything that I've heard. I've lived in this house [in Falls Church, Virginia] since 2003. So in 2021, they had moved in the year before, her and a gentleman. I knew them purely in passing exchanges, pleasantries on the street. I never went into their house so I don't have any idea of their political leanings in any way, shape, or form.

I've been contacted and I did look into the paper and when a picture of this supposed person came up, I said, yes that looks like her.

All I can say is there's two people involved in this that I know--my friend who I went to elementary school and high school together who asked for a favor to let him stay at my house during the January 6 rally.

As it relates to this lady, this policeman, other than her living next door to me, I have no involvement with her in any way shape or form. It was my understanding they worked for the Metropolitan Police Department, that's all I know and they were not here that long.

They just lived next door to me."

I will have much more to say on this shortly.

She does not think much of The Blaze's "scoop" or of Kyle Seraphim's various accusations.

Julie Kelly
@julie_kelly2

The allegations in The Blaze, the deceptive (and inconsistent) framing by Seraphin and his acolytes--which I will get to soon including his suggestion POI2 was the alleged pipe bomber's boyfriend lol--and this so-called "whistleblower" report promoted by Tom Massie all rely on the notion that the FBI pulled surveillance of these two men to cover up for the "pipe bomber" neighbor.

But as this man told me today, the true account of what happened is very straightforward. And I can tell you after speaking with him, he is extremely sincere, talked very plainly about what happened over those few days, and had no idea he (or his friend) had been a subject of the initial pipe bomb investigation.

That is why surveillance of both men ended--not some batsh*t conspiracy theory promoted by the likes of The Blaze and the "Suspendables" that somehow the FBI KNEW the neighbor was the pipe bomber and pulled the agents off the case.

More about her take on Seraphim's claims here. Seraphim is now saying he was actually surveilling the suspect publicized by The Blaze much earlier, and was pulled off that surveillance detail. I don't know. I believe it when I hear someone else confirming this.

Andrew McCarthy (the astrophotographer, not the other one) has been teasing that he captured something even more spectacular than the Falcon 9 transiting the Sun in H-alpha.

He's dropped the title of the shot, "The Fall of Icarus". He was shooting in the desert with somebody flying one of those paramotor craft on Nov. 9.

I'm betting he got a shot of that in front of the Sun with the big flare going off. I'm not sure, but that's what I'm guessing.

30 Hollywood Babylon:

As I recall it, Burghoff left M*A*S*H due to personal issues, plus he was by far the least popular actor on the entire set.

Linville left because he felt he couldn't do anything more with the character and didn't want to get bored. He didn't foresee any big stardom or payday in his future. Plus he was really good with his money and lived off M*A*S*H investments for the rest of his life, I believe.

31 "finally take off their Covid Jammies and put on normal work clothes and go to the office to work like all people have done since... well since people have had jobs."

About 80% of our company works remotely now, from 0% in 2019.

If they mandated a return to office, 3/4 of them would quit, myself included. There is no benefit to me being there in person that outweighs the absurd cost of living and commuting in that blue shithole. Anyone with a brain and plenty who are suspect on account of being leftist loons got the fuck out of that place.

From the company's end, they don't want to pay me what it'd cost to hire me there now either. Rent/mortgage is now about triple what I'm paying here living in real America, even for places with homeless druggies living in tents in your yard.

Another bonus is that I can work extra hours without incurring as much hassle when needed, on top of the 2-3 hours of free time I gain not having to play Mad Max commuting.

The fact that a huge number of office jobs are total bullshit isn't really related to whether or not someone doing a legit job needs to be in an office.

38 To give you some idea how bad it's gotten with non-productive at home workers, someone invented "Mouse Jiggler" software. What this does is it moves your cursor around on your computer and registers keyboard activity even when you are not there. That way, employers monitoring employees at home are tricked into thinking they are working at their computers.

This was a rather large scandal with Wells Fargo Bank that resulted in a number of people getting fired. It, also, resulted in someone else creating software to identify computers employing the 'Mouse Jiggler' software.

53 "1 and a half million ? Not nearly enough"

It's a start. I think I appreciate the complexities and issues involved in producing the even larger numbers required to materially reverse the situation that's developed the last 40 years. And want but don't expect more, faster.

But some things are discouraging. Indirect, body-language stuff. Such as the Trump comments to Ingraham in that recent interview. And his remarks to the Iowa rally the day he got the BBB passed. And also - and this is kind of a head-shaker - when the administration adopted a tired populist stunt in blaming the meat-packing industry for beef prices being so high.

I don't know the merits of the beef price situation. But to single out the meat-packers - and rightly pointing out they're largely foreign-owned now (including by Chy-nah) - while making this dubious populist pitch - *when that sector is among the worst/longest-standing/most easily fixed* abusers of illegal labor, and not making that both as rhetorical point AND a policy priority .... a head-shaker.

Jigglers have been a thing forever, and common comms software like MS Teams has had really advanced productivity tracking/employer spy capabilities for years.

Generally speaking most people do work that can be measured by clear metrics (or automated away, now), and either it gets done or not. A minority does stuff that really drives revenue and have the skills and motivation to potentially use WFH advantages to improve quality, quantity, or revenue, or some combo of the three.

I'm one of maybe 200 experts, worldwide, in a specific set of things, in addition to having years of know-how on proprietary systems. I don't have to jiggle a mouse, I can just tell work chat that I'm fucking off for the rest of the day.

John Fetterman (D-PA) stated that the Affordable Care Act subsidies that were at issue in the government shutdown are not being taken away by Republicans, since "Democrats designed those tax credits to expire at [the end of] this year." And Republicans were saying they would take about extending the tax credits.

97 Two thoughts.

1. Democrats got tired of the slow invasion because the public resisted and the immigrants they brought in kept becoming Republicans. So they went with the blitz -- bring in enough people fast, before the public wises up. by then it is too late.

2. Democrats also understand that they can NEVER allow these people to live productive lives. There must be chaos and dependency or they will be Republicans.

This past 20+ years has been a planned op. A revolution.

1) Republican Senators were STUPID to add the "sue the FBI" provision. Just gives Dems a point to stress. In soccer that would be an "own goal".
2) Dems are laser focused on the "GOP is decimating Obamacare". GOP again "STUPID" in not having talking points straight.
3) The procedural vote passed 213-209, so expect that actual bill to pass as well.
4) Can't our elected reps just learn to STFU?

That never happens. Immigrants favor Democrats. Second and third generation are often even more radicalized. I saw some great videos of old people in NYC who escaped communism only to be shocked their grandkids voted for Mamdani.

This is why we even accepting “based” asylum seekers is fraught with hazard. Second and third generations that never lived through Mao will happily vote to recreate that here. Sickening.

I think I first heard of gait analysis on a TV show ("Scorpion", I think). My reaction was something like, "Wow - yeah! That's definitely for real!"

That was because I'm near-sighted, and sometimes didn't wear my glasses. I remember working someplace with long, straight, mostly empty corridors. I would see somebody way down the corridor, but was unable to make a visual ID, but over time I came to realize that I could tell exactly who they were from how they walked. So I've basically used this myself.

In an interview I heard yesterday, the interviewee said that a military guy reviewed just the part of the analysis that has been made public and said that he would be comfortable ordering a snatch and grab based on evidence that strong - life and death stuff.

They brought over carrots, corn, mashed potatoes and roast beef. I'm set for food for a few days. So today was a very happy day.

For Christmas, I may try to find a soup kitchen or somewhere to volunteer at. I still have to worry about the dog.

On the whole, remote workers are less productive than in office. There are no studies that are not based upon the employees own responses that says otherwise, outside of a call center study done in China about 10 years ago. And even then, there were caveats. There are a few jobs that can be done remotely, and some have been for a long time. But most people struggle to keep on task with their own stuff gathered around them.

That is why bosses want people back in the office. Now, many of them aren't necessarily located downtown in major cities anymore - just ask the commercial real estate guys about that.

He showed up in shorts and flip flops and then called the warden and said she's right it's a bear.

187 Black JEM, the shift in Hispanic* voting is interesting and was material to outcomes in 2024. Recall that in the most secure, yet also obviously the most ridiculously insecure and likely fraudulent, election in history, 2020, the evil buffoonish racist anti-immigrant Trump became the first GOP nominee to win a few TX border counties.

Maybe it's hair-splitting but I'd say that more than "consider themselves white" that they share (what used to be) mainstream basic values with many non-Dem voters. Even calling these things "values" seems silly - respect for law, hard work, protecting children, etc. - are even more fundamental than "values".

* "Hispanic" is a particularly fuzzy and useless grab-all term for immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, but whatever.

189 The Republicans were never gone. Several months ago a group of House members introduced a bill to amnesty* hospitality (and ag?) illegals. Don't know how many co-sponsors that thing has by now. Anyway, the context is instructive.

In the very first inning of (what I hope is?) Trump's long struggle to re-establish rule of law in immigration, with the degraded and alien institutions and people in high hysterics fighting every move (to include Civil War+ levels of encouraging violence against federal personnel) - these GOP members thought the thing to do was to introduce a soft/deceptive amnesty for a segment of the illegal alien population.

The only change that has happened is that Trump, miraculously, is president. For a while.

Hmm: GOP Senators Snuck a Provision Into the Shutdown Deal Granting Them the Right to Sue Over "Arctic Frost" Invasions of Privacy/Weaponization of Government

The GOP did something sneaky that is not at the direct expense of their voters?

What is going on? What madness is this?

Some may say they engaged in self-dealing here, but I think there's plenty of positive public policy here. We need the Deep State exposed, and moreover, exposed to legal process.

Sue. Sue like the wind.

A new provision was quietly inserted into Congress's shutdown deal as part of a broader appropriations bill late Monday, giving lawmakers the right to sue the federal government over the FBI's "Arctic Frost" surveillance campaign that targeted Republican senators and conservative organizations.

Under the new language, senators whose phone records were seized during Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe into the 2020 election can take the government to court -- and claim at least $500,000 per violation. The move comes after revelations that Smith's team, operating under former President Joe Biden's Justice Department, subpoenaed cellphone metadata belonging to GOP senators between January 4 and 7, 2021, as part of the so-called "Arctic Frost" investigation.

"It's designed to put real teeth into federal law that prohibits the executive branch from surveilling the Senate," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Arctic Frost was a grotesque abuse of power. It was Joe Biden's Watergate." Cruz added that the measure is "a common sense provision to ensure that no Department of Justice -- Democrat or Republican -- ever does that again."

Cruz, who said last month that AT&T refused to hand over his records but was barred from notifying him due to a court order, is among several senators whose data were secretly subpoenaed. Judge James Boasberg, then chief judge of the D.C. District Court, approved the nondisclosure orders that kept lawmakers in the dark. The new provision would now make such secrecy illegal, requiring service providers to immediately alert a Senate office if its data is requested by federal authorities.

Notably, the measure applies retroactively to 2022, meaning those affected by Smith's subpoenas can pursue damages.

...

Democrats, however, were quick to protest the late addition. "I'm shocked that a huge change in policy would be dropped into a bill at the last minute, and the first that most senators learn about it is in the press," Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) complained. "That's not lawmaking at a way that representatives can be informed."

Of course.

I know the GOP is supposed to be "against lawsuits" but here's how that's worked out in actual reality: The left writes every law to grant a private right of lawsuit to vindicate left-wing fake "rights," and the right never responds in kind.

Meaning the real policy is: Liberals can sue for everything, conservatives can sue for nothing.

If we're going to be sued for everything, then I want the reciprocal right to sue for everything myself.

"Sue everybody!" as noted Legal Whiner Saul Rosenberg advises.

And speaking of Ted Cruz --

and speaking of "Judge" Boasberg --

and speaking of impeachable behavior by left-wing rogue "judges" --

Ted Cruz has scheduled impeachment hearings for "rogue judges," including "Judge" Boasberg, who illegally ordered phone companies to not alert the victims of an illegal search that their records were being illegally searched.

Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action and Federal Rights Chairman Ted Cruz on Monday scheduled a hearing on the possibility of impeaching "rogue" federal judges.

The hearing comes after Republicans complained that some judges have intervened with President Donald Trump's executive orders. Several lawmakers have introduced legislation this year that seeks to curb rogue judges, after multiple judges issued nationwide injunctions on some of Trump's agenda, instead of focusing on the people in the specific case.

Yeah I know "nothing will happen" but at some point you just need to start taking shots on goal.

More:


Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) asked Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday to unseal some "grand jury materials" from the FBI's Arctic Frost probe that would reveal special counsel Jack Smith's reasoning for seeking her and other Republicans' personal phone records.

Smith obtained call logs for at least 10 GOP lawmakers -- including Blackburn -- and the Tennessee senator wrote to Bondi requesting her "to use every tool ... to uncover a key component of the weaponized, Biden-era Arctic Frost investigation," according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Post.

That "key component" is an application for a non-disclosure order signed by DC US District Chief Judge James Boasberg, forcing phone carriers keep secret for one year Smith's subpoenas for the documents, which included the Republicans' addresses, inbound/outbound call and text records, and payment information.

"It is our understanding that this application is currently under seal in the Arctic Frost grand jury materials," Blackburn said. "We urge you to immediately unseal and provide this application that accompanied the gag order."

Boasberg has been a thorn in the side of the Trump administration's immigration policies after he issued a court order blocking deportation flights of alleged gang members to a Salvadoran mega-prison in March.

Can’t recall his name, but the guy abusively/illegaly surveilled with the FISA warrant (to give the cabal ability to spy on Trump et al) had his lawsuit dismissed. The massive systematic abuse of FISA, AFAIK, has not been addressed in any way.

And no, whatever additional “safeguards” might have been part of the last FISA re-authorization do not impress, as the issue is enforcement, such safeguards are not self-enforcing.

I know JackStraw is familiar with it, but more should peruse the unclas version of the FISA court report to DOJ on the issue (and that report didn’t even include all the coup-related outrages IIRC).

How could a federal judge, based on zero evidence, nonetheless conspire to issue secret subpoenas for sitting senators? It's bizarre.

I honestly think January 6 drove certain people...insane in Washington. These are people who, never once in their lives, had felt the least bit threatened by anything. The slightest taste of fear, even over blown, made them go...nuts. Lose all sense of proportion. And the fear just fed on itself - they just kept getting more and more fearful. To a point where they suspected their friends and colleagues of being part of a large plot to kill them all. That is the only thing that makes sense, because none of the data, the actual events. supports this bizarre behavior.

Nobody stopped and said, heh, the executive is about to spy on the legislative branch, based on the say so of a prosecutor and a single judge?

219 The Dems were locked in "Threat mode" a psychological term. The fight-flight-freeze response, orchestrated by areas like the amygdala.

These are people who have never, in their lives, felt this way before. It led to intense feelings of distress and anxiety, and hypervigilance. They are also extreme narcissists. Hence, they are unlikely to decide what they are experiencing is a form of mental illness, but in fact their fear and hypervigilance is a reflection of actual reality. That explains all the insane behavior since Jan 6 - why they threw the book at the rioters, why they constantly overstate and overhype what happened, the impeachment, and the tapping of phones. Literally their brains are searching for grand conspiracies to explain what happened to them. And they believe it is just about to happen again, despite zero evidence.

I think it is more than that - it's a form of mental illness, where narcissists were frightened for the first time in their pampered lives. They are unaccustomed to being scared, and think this is somehow unique and unusual, and extreme. It also justifies ANYHTING to avoid happening ever again.

Analysis: The Transgender Tulip Bubble Has Popped

Eric Kaufman, writing at Skeptic:


A few weeks ago, I published results from six waves of the massive Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) annual survey of undergraduate students. The data were unequivocal: the share of students identifying as a gender other than male or female--that is, as non-binary--peaked in 2023 and has halved in the two years since. This is a stunning reversal in the culture that will reverberate through society and politics in the coming years.


The survey captures over 50,000 students per year from nearly 250 leading American universities. Its size guarantees statistical power and enables us to look at small subgroups like trans or queer people. FIRE data is a random sample, a small percentage of each university's student body, and I wanted to be sure it triangulated with two surveys capturing a much greater share of the total. One comes from the elite Andover Phillips prep school near Boston; the other is run by Brown University's student newspaper. Both interview a far higher share of their target pool than FIRE surveys (up to 50 percent for Brown freshmen, and 75 percent in the Andover case). As Figure 1 shows, these surveys corroborate the "peak trans" pattern in the FIRE data, revealing a rapid decline since 2023.

neithermalenorfemale.jpg

Note that chart actually shows students saying their neither male nor female -- i.e., "non-binary" -- and is not about transgenderism per se. But transgenders would claim to be of the other sex, so it's hard to find them in these surveys. The author argues (plausibly) that the "non-binary" delusion is closely correlated with the trans delusion, but some, like pro-life/anti-groomer activist Billboard Chris, think it's an error to conflate the two.


The article also responds to technical criticisms like claims that these figures aren't weighted by demographics. That's both above my pay grade and below my threshold of actual interest.

Make up your own minds. I'm not your daddy.

Or... am I...?

Son?


...

I expand more fully on these findings in my University of Buckingham Centre for Heterodox Social Science report, which also found that the decline in non-binary identification was matched by a 10-point drop in unconventional sexual identification. Namely, in students identifying their sexual orientation as something other than heterosexual or homosexual--such as pansexual, queer, questioning, bisexual, or asexual. Many students who identify as neither male nor female also identify as sexually non-conforming, so the correlation trend is unsurprising.

Sexual orientation has been measured in more youth surveys for longer than gender identity has been. While gay and lesbian share remained flat through 2020 to 2025, Figure 2 shows that the broader non-heterosexual group--covering bisexual, queer, pansexual, asexual, questioning, and other labels--rose steeply to 2023 and then fell across a wide range of surveys.

See the link for the chart. Preposterously, identification as non-heterosexual rose to 40% at some schools. It's so depressing I don't want to reproduce the chart here.

Here, in my digital home. My home!

The non-heterosexual proportion peaked at around 30 percent overall, reaching as high as 40 percent at progressive-leaning Ivy League schools like Brown and 50 percent in liberal arts colleges such as Smith College. Importantly, the decline in non-conforming sexual orientation parallels the decline in non-conforming gender identity, suggesting a common underlying dynamic.

Well, Smith is famously Finishing School for Lesbians.

Identification as non-heterosexual has also fallen, though not as dramatically as identification as "neither male nor female."

Classic pattern of social contagion or viral mental illness.

...

Why is the trans curve bending downward? Are young people becoming more conservative and religious? No. The same FIRE student surveys that show non-binary gender and queer sexuality dropping like a stone find no shift to the political right over time, and no rise in the share affiliating with a religion. Students are also no more supportive of free speech, and no more opposed to shouting down speakers, than they were in 2020. They are as woke as ever, just less trans and queer.

Oh well that's just great.

Peter Heck at NottheBee is a high school teacher and he says these stats match his direct-but-anecdotal observations.


While it's purely anecdotal, I can testify that from my own vantage point as a public high school teacher that the researchers are not imagining things. Not long ago, many schools across the country became pronoun battlegrounds, with students cycling through new "identities" every semester, and teachers instructed to oblige and rat out their colleagues who refused.

Today, pronoun announcements have all but disappeared. The once-growing cluster of self-identified non-binary students has shrunk dramatically. Whatever once felt like an unstoppable cultural wave now looks like what many warned it was all along: a disastrous social contagion.

But now must come The Great Reckoning:

While the trend may be reversing, the damage remains. Adults who have been entrusted with the well-being of our children, who should have been a bulwark of stability and truth, instead bent the knee to ideas that were, from the start, patently unscientific and philosophically incoherent. Administrators, professors, teachers, board members, and counselors all treated biological reality as hateful. Feelings were elevated above facts, and the ideological whims of a political crusade were permitted to rewrite human nature.


But, like the Japanese soldiers at the end of World War II -- and I still do not know which side I wanted to win that war; Demon Attack Survivor Tucker Carlson teaches me that both sides had heroes and villains, like Winston Churchill and also Jews -- they are still fighting to the last man for the last beach on the last island.

49 This is a tough one. Kids & young adults who trans'ed during the madness pose a problem. The ones who were just pretending to go along with the prevailing trends will mostly be fine, I think.

But the ones who got drugged or chopped are the issue. On one hand, they were victims of adult psychopaths. On the other, they are now also mentally ill and dangerous, and pose a threat to society.

I think the most humane and practical answer is to carve out an outlying island possession for them and quarantine them there. They can write deranged slogans on rocks and sticks and go at each other there.

Suicide deaths occurred during every stage of transitioning.

Suicide death risk is higher in trans people than in the general population.

so someone mentioned the First Lady recovering.

I had no idea she was sick (or what happened)

So I searched DDG, and all the images are big mike or that crazy lady. Of the first 30 photos, I think two were Trump.

I also looked at just news, and man the liberal press is crazy on how they report her - every article is either attacking her, or of her attacking Trump. We all know the Left live in a bubble, but this was a bit stark.

105 Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing. The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

I do not understand the right-wing hate. I don't give one shit what consenting adults do. Why the need for violent repression?

Their worldview is built around a hierarchy, which is intrinsic to nature and it means that some people are intrinsically superior to others. We trans people falsify the hierarchy and prove that it is artificial.

Ahh. My anti hierarchy autism gets in the way of my understanding. I never thought about it just this way before. Thank you.

their hierarchy is so natural it only takes billions of dollars in media spending and the threat of state violence to uphold it.

More trans people are coming forward to be their authentic selves. The right are trying to shove them back in the closet. We’ve reached critical mass. All they can do from here is oppression, the closet’s doors are gone.

124 Sarah McBride, the trans woman congressman, actually had a decent conversation on why trans are losing the trans wars, and had it with Ezra Klein of all people.

She said they are losing because they are demonizing the people that are with them on 90% of pro trans policies. If you don't agree 100%, especially on the policies affecting kids and girls, they call you a transphobe. And then those "imperfect allies," as she calls them, lose interest or become hostile to all the other good sane teams policies. (Stuff like you can't kick out a tenant, fire a worker, deny someone entering your business, kick donor s out of a restaurant, or deny them a loan because they're trans. Which I hope people agree are sane policies.) so now someone once an ally and 90% in agreement with you is now only 50%.

The problem is Sarah clearly WANTS all these insane policies. But she's studied the civil rights movement enough to know some things have to happen slowly. The trans movement doesn't want slow, so they are boiling the pot too fast and all the frogs are jumping out. Sarah isn't saying stop having these insane policies, just make them slower and more palatable for the plebes.

141 Many times I will reread the Left's manual The Naked Communist 45 goals to communism and think just like the book 1984 it is so fitting for 2025, but even worse.

#25.Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio
and TV. [Note: This is the Gramscian agenda of the "long march through the institutions" spelled out explicitly: gradual takeover
of the "means of communication" and then using those vehicles to debauch the culture and weaken the will of the individual to
resist.]

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy." [Note: Today those few who still have the
courage to advocate public morality are denounced and viciously attacked. Most Americans are entirely unwitting regarding the
motives behind this agenda.]

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible

A few years ago it was trendy for people on twitter to include their stupid pronouns. Now I have no idea. I spy on liberals I know now and then.

Pretty sure I knew my pronoun when I was about 3yrs old. It takes liberals longer & one must stand with the transmutation bowel movement or be not cool.

I stand, after I kick them all to when they discover what is in their pants. An outie or an innie. Either/or. Not neither/nor.

This is why I mostly stay home in my castle and bother only one husband, my own he/him. Occasionally I appear in public and sometimes people are on guard, like I am going to make a fool of myself.

This is one of the big disconnects with the whole H1B issues. Yes, we have a lot of very smart people who graduate from US schools and they are getting squeezed and that needs to be fixed. But we also have a metric shitload of college graduates who are dumber than a bag of hammers because of our garbage schools. If we don't fix the schools this problem just gets worse.

The uniparty doesn't care what the public thinks and has discovered that if both sides more or less adopt the same/similar policy, it can ride roughshod over the public. Who are you gonna vote for that's going to do anything different? Same situation that Britain is effectively in, where voting for Tories just got you the same basic Labour policy.

207 The whole "Trans women are real women" is total crap, and was thrust upon us by (at the top) radicals that want to destroy USA. That is my "Conspiracy Theory" #1.

The 2020 election was definitely stolen ... My Conspiracy #2.

The fake "Vax" was a government funded and implemented scheme. My Conspiracy #3.

I think Ace said we could only have three conspiracy theories or we start to become loons ... so that is enough (for now, that I admit to).

Unless I get credit for not believing in Mole People, or real alien UFOs. Then I could probably come up with a few other Conspiracy Theories (Global Banking Cartel, CIA formed globalist secret "society" after (?) WW2).

208 I do not understand the right-wing hate. I don't give one shit what consenting adults do. Why the need for violent repression?

1. Most people don't care what consenting adults do in privacy either. It's the shoving it in your face everywhere, the use of lawfare against parents and in the workplace if you "misgender" someone, and shoving trans everything in the faces of children without parental consent, and the ghoulish surgeries on children and young adults that are so objectionable.

2. When it comes to violence, the "trans" community has a lock on this. What violent repression are you speaking of? That people are objecting is violence to you? Oh, okay.

No. She was crazier than I am but harmless. Before takeoff and across the aisle, I thought, "nervous flyer." Once we reached 10k feet I went to the loo. On return, husband said she'd lost it and was throwing beads and a cup of water in the aisle. I watched her pace a bit, talking to herself.

I, Leader of All Things, went to a flight attendant and pointed her out as she paced. As either having a drug issue or psychological break. It was the latter and maybe both. They corralled her in the back galley and paged me to come back there. I checked her out and we all decided she was no threat, even though she grabbed the handle to a door (by then we were over Atlanta). The lead flight attendant talked to the pilot and Atlanta & we decided to go on with the flight.

I was rewarded with gin and tonics and made dinner on time. A half hour after I left my dude found me where I remained with the lunatic.

223 The current state of affairs is the result of now three generations of grown adults that never got punched in the face as kids for being little assholes to their peers.

I don't think it's much more complicated than that. Straight up bullying is one thing, but learning the physical consequences of your actions and your place in that pecking order is an important lesson for young people to learn. Learning to stand up for oneself against assholes and bullies is another one.

The soft-ass left made it impossible for kids to sort out their differences with a good old fashioned fistfight before it all boiled over into something much worse, or the treatment festered for so long with no outlet that the kid grows up into a broken, dangerous adult.

225 On being out of work 11 months, the advice I gave this morning was to get back to work, any work. Once someone is out of work long enough, they become radioactive to employers (b/c something must be "wrong" with them since no one hired them). Not to mention, skills stale out, benefits run out, etc. Even if it's not what you want to be doing, you go do something to help you get back to what you want. That's just personal 1-on-1 advice.

As for H1-Bs, I agree with you. They should be gone. But I can't change reality for you to get you hired fast enough, and did I mention the staling of a resume?

Education is a way to unstale a resume and stay tech...but digging a bigger financial hole is not always the best life plan...unless you can get it paid for with county resources for unemployed.

the price of housing is beyond the reach of most family aged adults, especially the ones we want to have lots of kids. A mortgage that long is a bad idea, but it is mildly less bad than renting for the rest of your life.

1) a mortgage with a fixed interest and fixed payment is going to be more stable than rent which goes up each year or each time the investment company sells it to their best friend's investment and management company
2) ownership stake in the community
3) If the owner gets a better job he can increase from the minimum payment
4) If the owner gets a better job he can SELL THE STARTER HOUSE and buy another one with that down payment because he has equity

Still sucks, but it is the best, fast fix for a situation where Blackstone or Progress Residential can out-bid Jerry and Helen who are newlyweds and are restricted to the earnings they can expect in the next five years

When the Great Trans Reckoning does come, another victim will be these kids themselves when they reach adulthood. The ones that mutilate their bodies have one set of circumstances to overcome. Yet another group will be the ones that don't go under the knife (or pill) but have to explain themselves to future employers or spouses. The internet is forever, and letting your flag fly could have some seriously unintended consequences down the road.

286 "I would think Covid would've made kids smarter since parents were home to supervise school lessons via all the online days. Instead kids and parents all got more retarded."

One of the many crimes of the COVID hoax was that kids already living in homes in crisis were forced to remain in those homes. Going to school was their only refuge along with being with their friends, having adults - teachers, coaches, counselors that they liked and looked up to, a place where they could laugh and forget their home circumstances for a few hours a day was taken away. Now they were forced to be in a place that brought them fear, misery and the added stress from already stressed out adults and God know what else that were going on in their homes. A kid living with drug/alcohol addicts, sex abusers, physical abuse, no food in the home now got to live with it with no break except to leave the house on their own. When is Fauci every going to pay for this?

295 By the way, the rates will have to be at least a little higher on 50-year mortgages. The reason is "asset-liability mismatch" risk, "demand deposit" monies (meaning that you-the-depositor can get it back "on demand") comprise a good chunk of the money banks lend, whereas the mortgage will have a theoretical duration of 50-years (even if it will likely be paid long before then).

Ice ages mean lowering sea levels, due to the ICE.

Federal Judge May Sanction Gavin Newsom's Transgender Government For Lying in Legal Filings About California's Determination to Trans Children Behind Their Parents' Backs

Gavin Newsom is playing hide-the-salami.

I mean, you already assumed that, but I mean he's playing it in court.

The state of California knew it would lose a case involving transing children behind their parents' back. So the state claimed they had changed the policy, thus "mooting" the case. Judges can't rule on moot cases, usually, so the manuever was designed to take the case out of the judge's hands before he could rule and establish precedent.

And then---

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

-- the supposedly "changed" policy popped right back up in teacher instruction materials, again telling teachers to trans children behind their parents' backs.

The judge is, how you say, arribiato.


Federal judge threatens to sanction California for 'misleading' him in 'gender secrecy' case

"Forced outings," when students are already publicly identifying as the opposite sex in school and demanding others use fake pronouns to them.

They're already "out" to everyone in the world -- except their parents.

Scott Penis just doesn't want their parents to know.

Groomers and pedophiles always tell children to keep special secrets from their parents.

State claimed lawsuit over muzzling teachers, hiding students gender identity from parents was moot because it removed FAQ page with challenged policies, but they secretly popped up again in required teacher training.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has repeatedly slurred a federal judge by name, echoing President Trump's history of diatribes against judges even before the current Democrat started copying the former Democrat's social media style and insulting nicknames.

The perceived contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination for president may cluck his tongue again when he sees the latest order from U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in a lawsuit against The Golden State's alleged mandate on school districts to hide from parents their children's asserted gender identity at odds with sex.

The President George W. Bush nominee ordered state Attorney General Rob Bonta and the California Department of Education to "show cause" on why they should not be sanctioned for "misleading" Benitez so he would remove them from the suit by teachers who allege their school district muzzled them and parents of "gender incongruent children."

The state defendants' motions to dismiss and opposition to the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment claimed that CDE had "withdrawn and conclusively replaced" an FAQ page that contained the challenged policies, which they claimed was the "only basis" for being named defendants and thus made the case moot, Benitez wrote.

"However, evidence demonstrates that the CDE may have merely moved the challenged content of the FAQ page to a new, required 'PRISM' training module," as documented by the plaintiffs' lawyers at the Thomas More Society, the judge said, ordering state defendants to explain their behavior Nov. 17 in court.

"From day one, officials from the local school district all the way to the governor's mansion have tried to deflect responsibility" but "have now been caught not only lying to California taxpayers but attempting to mislead the Court to escape accountability," TMS Executive Vice President Peter Breen said in a statement.

...

It's the latest setback for state leaders in the case, in which Benitez has repeatedly sided with the plaintiffs.

...

The society filed an application for sanctions Friday, pointing to a California Family Council article Nov. 3 on the new PRISM teacher training that includes a screenshot of a slide with "language very similar to the FAQ page" that the CDE took down.

The article links to a recording of a PRISM training, which it dubs an "LGBTQ 'Loyalty Test,'" that CFC describes as part of a curriculum mandated by the California Safe and Supportive Schools Act, developed in consultation with LGBTQ advocacy groups including the ACLU, Trevor Project and California Teachers Association.

...

It makes explicit that school staff cannot tell parents if their children identify as the opposite sex, because they still have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" even if they are open about their gender identity at school. Schools can only disclose this to parents in "limited circumstances" such as "issues involving safety or wellness."

CFC said the training also falsely characterized the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act in a test at the end of the training, claiming it forbids schools from sharing a child's gender identity with parents when FERPA actually "protects parents' right to access their child's records, not the state's right to withhold them."

In other words, they claimed the law required the exact opposite of what it required. It transformed a parent's right-to-know into a teacher's duty-to-conceal.

And then, while maintaining that the "law" required a teacher to have a duty-to-conceal, they claimed that no such duty exists so the case should be thrown out because it's a moot issue.

There is a law. There isn't a law. There is a policy. There isn't a policy.

Whatever Gavin Newsom's Transgender Government identifies as at any stage of the lawsuit.


While taking down the FAQ page left school districts "in a state of ambiguity" rather than confirming they could disclose gender identity to parents without student permission, the state defendants tried to play it both ways, "affirmatively telling school districts that Parental Exclusion Policies were legally required, while arguing mootness to this Court."

Very much related: An update to the dude in lipstick wagging his pickle at women in a women's changing room at Gold's Gym.

There's a Transgender Cinematic Universe cross-over later in the tale.

The story, which you mostly know from last week:

Incidentally, she's a Grammy-nominated singer. I never heard of her, but at my advanced age of 29, that no longer surprises me.

She certainly belted out a number here.

A viral video shows singer Tish Hyman confronting a transgender woman she says was inside the women's locker room at a Los Angeles gym.

The incident happened at a facility formerly operated as Gold's Gym, now run by EoS Fitness.

"I was in shock. I was scared, and I told him to leave. He would not leave, and had no regard for my naked body," Hyman said.

Hyman says it wasn't the first time she's encountered men in the women's restroom at that gym. She claims it's happened four times in the past two weeks and that she filed multiple complaints with staff that went unanswered.

In the cellphone footage, Hyman can be heard shouting, "Stay out of the women's locker room, we don't want it!"

The person she confronted has not been identified, and there's no indication that any crime or violation occurred. Hyman says the situation escalated during a confrontation.

"He said to me, verbatim, 'Straight women like to see D (genitals) so if anything, they're looking at me more than you,'" she recalled. "I was in complete shock."

You got that right? "D" stands, of course, for "Genitals."

Obviously.


Following the confrontation, both were removed from the gym, and Hyman says her membership was revoked because of her outburst. She insists her reaction wasn't about discrimination but about boundaries.

"Trans people have a right to exist," she said. "They need their own locker rooms and their own spaces. It doesn't make sense to put them in the same room with women."

And now... the rest of the story.

The black lesbian woman victim of the transgender -- who for some reason grabbed his "lubricant" as he left the gym (why? hot date?) -- confronted Scott Wiener, yes, Scott Penis, the very same guy pushing groomer laws and reducing penalties for having sex with underaged children -- about why he's letting "The D" (standing for "Genitals") invade black lesbian women's spaces.

She says she supports everything this unconcionable pervert does, except, she insists, that he mus protect women, and then adds that she means real women, and that transwomen are -- get this -- "not women."

Well! That causes the room to erupt in shock and horror.

I usually find a clean copy of video without commentary by YouTube talkers, but I'm linking Black Conservative Perspective because it's fun watching him appreciate the "black lesbian woman" wielding "three Infinity Stones of Wokeness."

As he says, this black lesbian woman is competing with Latrine John-Pissoir (or "Cringe" Jean-Pierre, as he calls her) for maximum identity name-drops.

Foreman points out almost all of the shocked people are, get this, white liberals.

Tone policing a black lesbian woman! Can you even?!

Still -- she's right. Just not based on her "identity. Except for one: Yes, women's bathrooms are for Birthing Persons with the actual identity of "real woman."

So that's another crossover and connection in the Transgender Cinematic Universe.

Except there's one more: If you go back about thirty seconds from where I have the video cued up, you'll see Scott Wiener bragging about his efforts to ban "forced outings."

Also known as "keeping parents in the loop when a child tells everyone except his parents that he's adopted a Fashion Gender." The very policy mentioned in the first item in this post.

It's alllllll connected, as Producer Guy would say.

Yeah, whack-a-mole is fun, but this deserves a massive fine and maybe some prosecutions. If Gavin's administration made statements to a judge that they'd done what he wanted and all they did was play hide-the-salami, someone ought to sue, prosecute, restrict, etc.

I am full of bull on any given moment, especially here in Ace's livingroom. Half crazy most of the time, which is my normal state... and if ever deflated to completely normal the man I live with worries and "misses" my insanity.

That said, I started praying specifically about things after Trump 2 arrived. I pray for the eradication of eeslam (my husband says I should be praying for their conversion but I don't pray for terrorists and so be it).

I also, since the last transmutation school shooting, I pray for the destruction of trans, the pedos and politicans who support it; and the parents and teachers. I pray against them. I pray for this to also be eradicated from society as it is demonic.

I ain't playing no' mo' and God hears my prayers. Granted, He may think, "Oh, wow, here she is again!" but He knows my heart.

Nothing on this earth has ever scared me but school shootings. Since Columbine when my sons were in HS. Now I have grands, who are part of my heart, and I pray for their protection in all things...including school.

A Troon is a MtF Tranny.

A Pooner is a FtM.

The term originated on Something Awful, where the userbase were called "Goons" (similar to how commenters here are the "Moron Horde").

A bunch of Goons on the "F*** You and Die" section on Something Awful started going tranny in massive numbers, and the term "Troon" (Tranny + Goon) was born.

Yup.
And eventually, I hope that people start connecting the dots on it as it relates to homosexuality.

Unless "gender identity" and "sexual orientation" are completely independent variables - and they aren't and sort of can't be, by definition - then this exercise in perversion has put paid to the "born this way" thesis, which is the basis for the *entire* "gay rights" movement. Every special carve-out for homosexuals, every special protection, every group-wise benefit, every element of status - everything - is predicated on "born this way."

And trannyism has finally destroyed that thesis.

Hillary's village has burned to the ground once the transmutation entered the chat.

I was not going to vote for pedo mouth Walz to begin with...but to read that MN wanted to "take"kids from parents who did not support their trans drugs or surgeries put me over the top.

Transmutation is child abuse that is permanent. When their frontal cortex develops at age 21 (F) or 25(M), and they are missing parts of their bodies, there is regret. Sometimes there is suicide when the fake men realize what they've done.

Exactly. Which is why the gay lobby has to defend it no matter the costs. If a person can be confused about something as concrete as physical gender, they can certainly be confused about attraction.

If gender is plastic, so is attraction. If trans people are really just diseased and maladjusted, then gay people fall into the same category.

Un-freaking-believable. This judge HAS GONE ROGUE!

"This deals a major blow to federal efforts to detain and deport as many undocumented people as possible."

"He is ordering the continued review of people in custody and the release of those in custody...it applies to all 3,000 people arrested by ICE and CBP from June-October...but it mainly applies to 615 people in custody all across the country."

How the hell does the government spend that kind of money and nobody blinks and eye? It's not like we were in a war with anyone. 36 Trillion dollars gone and not one hearing or breaking news story about it. And not one person going to jail. Damn!

Aye. Our girl also wears shorts under skirts or dresses. Of cours she's also a bit insane and a climber of jungle gyms or climbing walls. Brave little crazy warrior girl.

I could easily murder someone who hurt a child. It would be quick and I'd have no regrets as I asked God to forgive me.

On the beach in FL, a crowded holiday, I caught a guy with a video camera filming my son on a boogie board. I shot up off the beach chair without telling his father. The guy saw me (I am scary) and ran off as I went to the lifeguard stand. If I could have caught him, oh, boy. I know, I just know, he was a pedo and I should have raised the alarm and to hell with being wrong.

Suicide death risk in trans people did not increase over time.

Suicide deaths occurred during every stage of transitioning.

Suicide death risk is higher in trans people than in the general population.

So, after all the heartbroken have killed themselves the suicide rate levels off to more than the general population.

334 Governor Nuisance wants to make California into his own little Kingdom and Open our Southern Border to New Democrat Voters and Supporters

Posted by: Spurwing Plover at November 12, 2025 05:40 PM (wGqjj)

New Democrat-Media Hoax Drops: Shock Emails Prove Trump Knew Epstein Was Recruiting Underaged Girls! And Knew One of the Victims!
Unmentioned: Yes, We Knew He Knew, He Kicked Epstein Out of Mar-a-Lago. And the Victim Absolves Trump.

Just more defamation and lies from the Lugenpress.

Not the Bee has a good recap. The charge made is that it is now "proven" by emails that Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein was recruiting underaged girls.

Except we already know that, because we already knew that Trump caught Epstein trying to recruit girls from Mar-a-Lago, and kicked him out of the club permanently for it.

The Democrat-Media Party attack deliberately omits to mention that (though the emails "revealed" by the Democrats also point that out -- again).

This isn't just old news -- it's old, exculpatory news, altered and fabricated to look like new, inculpatory news.

Not only did he bar Jeffrey Epstein from his properties, but there is some actual new news -- he told Ghislaine Maxwell to "stop" recruiting girls.

aghamiltonepsteinemails.png

But, as Not the Bee notes, "it gets worse." Because the Democrat-Media Party deliberately anonymizes the source, despite the fact that she is world-famous, has come forward herself, and now is dead (by her own hand) so she does not need protecting.

The source is Virginia Guiffre, who everyone knows because she was the first and most prominent public Epstein accuser, and she sued Prince Andrew for what she claimed was sexual assault.

Why would they hide the name of someone who is and has been famously connected with this case?

For a very simple reason: Because Guiffre has repeatedly testified that she never saw Trump do anything wrong. The Democrats are implying that he did do something wrong, so they deliberately alter and fabricate the records to make it seem as if there's a New Accuser who might perhaps have more to offer about Trump.

She doesn't. She committed suicide and before that she completely absolved Trump of all wrongdoing.

See the link for the Disinformation being peddled by Politico, the AP, and Reuters.

If I were Trump, I'd file three billion-dollar defamation lawsuit's by week's end.

Absolutely. This man has been a public figure for more than four decades. The press has been alternately fawning over and investigating the man for about the same length of time.

Nobody in the press - not even 2WAY, which is the only news show that I actually watch - asks the obvious question. Which is why why why if both Biden and Harris had the inculpatory information while they were in the Executive Branch did neither of them release it. There would be no need to go to the trouble of trying to put Trump in jail if they had the Epstein evidence to release instead.

My guess: Biden didn't release because most of his friends are guilty. Trump doesn't release because some of his friends are guilty.

Posted by: Darrell Harris at November 12, 2025 02:25 PM (0CU3H)

2) proof Trump was involved; massive pubic outrage over crimes with no johns, no named victims, and well past limitations for any prosecutions
3) Trump resigns in disgrace
4) Vance also resigns because ... something something
5) Dems win the House
6) Speaker Temu Obama becomes Prez.

They can start with Cal, but this extends to most colleges. The easiest way they can discourage a conservative speaker from showing up on campus is to tell them that they need to pay for security themselves. These colleges already do that.

67 It's what Democrats do. Recall LBJ? :
“This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.

“The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofabitchh deny it.”

74 Politico, House Dems to launch effort to force Obamacare subsidies extension
They’ll use a procedural maneuver to put Republicans in a tough spot.

By Nicholas Wu and Meredith Lee Hill

11/12/2025, 1:19pm ET

In part, House Democrats will take steps to force a vote on a three-year extension of expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits after Republicans refused to address the issue as part of a bipartisan Senate deal to reopen the federal government.

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) announced in a closed-door caucus meeting Wednesday that leadership would pursue the extension through a procedural move known as a discharge petition, according to five people granted anonymity to share private party strategy.

President Trump accuses the Democrats of bringing up Epstein again because "they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects"

"Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap."

"The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price."

"There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!"

The closer analogy is the takeover of the Democrat Party by the New Left in the 60s.

A radical, small movement that infiltrates the institutions at key points to create a seemingly ground up movement, but only actually represents like 10% of the party, dragging it wholesale to the left.

Trump was more top down shock, giving voice to a majority of a party that felt unheard.

From the CBC of all places.


Nova Scotians Darcy and Laura Clarke were gobsmacked this week when they received a handwritten letter from a stranger in the mail, along with $40 in cold, hard, American cash.

The money was to pay for an unclaimed order from Bentley’s Burgers and Fries, the restaurant the Clarkes run together in West Chezzetcook, N.S.

The letter — sent all the way from Alabama — was an apology for failing to pick up and pay for the order.

The sender explained that they had meant to order take-out from a different Bentley’s restaurant much closer to home, and were terribly sorry for the mix-up.

“My jaw hit the floor,” Darcy told As It Happens host Nil Kӧksal. “Hope for humanity yet.”

The Executive Branch does not have the power to unilaterally release court records to the public. There are MANY good reasons to shield unvetted investogatory materials. Do you not realize that it's extremely likely that some people's names in that material will be of individuals who are falsely accuesed/implicated? Hundreds of witnesses, much of it unvetted heresay.

149 They are trying to make Epstein and pedophilia the "legacy" of Trump because they know his real legacy is going to far outstrip anything they can or will ever do. So they want to do a Nixon - Corruption, Reagan - Dementia, and Trump - Pedophilia on him. You know how they never mention Nixon without mentioning watergate? That.

Nothing else worked - Russia, Stormy, Fascism - but this one is a strong one if they can make it stick. And they are not going to stop trying to make it stick. They've proven that. Expect a Trump Epstein movie "dramatization" soon.

206 Why would they hide the name of someone who is and has been famously connected with this case?

For a very simple reason: Because Guiffre has repeatedly testified that she never saw Trump do anything wrong. The Democrats are implying that he did do something wrong, so they deliberately alter and fabricate the records to make it seem as if there's a New Accuser who might perhaps have more to offer about Trump.

++++
It's one step worse than that, I think.

*Most* of their readers won't make the connection. In one ear, out the other. The suppression is not because they'd have to acknowledge her prior statements - they wouldn't - but because they don't want *anyone* to think to himself, "hmmm. That name is familiar" and then do a quick web search to find out why. A tiny fraction of their audience would do that, but even that tiny fraction must *never* be enabled to question the narrative.

Back in the early post Roman days the inhabitants of England had trouble with Germanic pirates on their shores. So they hired some Saxons on as mercenaries to defend against the pirates. The Saxons decided that they liked it and started bringing the rest of the tribe over until they took over the South and East along with their buddies the Angles and later the Jutes.

292 Interesting that old Wolfie Blitzer would talk like this. I spoke to him in July 2014 while he was on his way to the island. We were about 10 miles from Little St James and he pointed to it when he said he was going to a friend's private island.

He was waiting on a beach near a marina to get ferried over. I didn't know what Epstein Island was at the time but I definitely knew who Would Blitzer was.

293 You know, I heard this story and thought uh-oh.

Then it turns out this was already public knowledge. And what little new there is absolves Trump. And not only that, but the story is also old - this all happened 20 years ago. And we knew, 20 years ago, about it (i.e. Trump realized Epstein was a perv and kicked him out of mar e lago).

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at November 12, 2025 04:02 PM (NFX2v)

298 Let's explain why "release the files" isn't something that is fully possible.

In cases of sexual abuse, especially sexual abuse of a minor, the information is kept secret, at the discretion of the JUDGE. In addition, the government made a mistake offering a lot of money in compensation to "victims" that came forward. Naturally a lot of crazy claims were made by a lot of gold-digging whores hoping to get a slice of that money. The government investigated the claims and found most of them to be bullshit. However, the false claims implicate a lot of innocent people, many of them rich and famous.

Hence the judges have ruled a ton of shit to be secret - i.e. can't be relased to the public because it would cause all sorts of damages due to victims being named and false claims. That is the actual issue - and the Trump admin doesn't have the power to force the judges to change their minds.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at November 12, 2025 04:07 PM (gDhA9)

299 That all said, it is probably that Trump's name is in there somewhere, some claim that was dismissed due to complete fabrication or lack of evidence. Likely fake, due to people trying to get at that golden goose compensation fund. The Ds hope that gets relased, so they can damage trump, without having to explain it was investigated and totally false. And by totally false, I mean shit like proving the person making the claim never even met Epstein or wasn't on the island, or the people they accuse where somewhere else at the time. Again, these were gold digging whores, not actual victims of anything.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at November 12, 2025 04:11 PM (gDhA9)

300 So that is what is creating and sustaining the problem, and the Democrats are cynically using this issue to harm Trump, and pretend there is something secret in there he is hiding.

Trump is actually unique in that a) he knew Epstein and b) figured out he was a pedo and banned him from his presence. It's hard to square any evidence Trump participated with his falling out with Epstein over the same issue. The Ds get around that by never mentioning Trump's banning of Epstein from his properties 20 years ago, and why exactly he did that.

DEI Ding-Dong Kamala Harris: I Campaigned Brilliantly Against Donald Trump and Played a Keen Game of Three Dimensional Chess Against Him (Which, If You're Being Fussy, I Lost)

I can hear the naysayers neighing -- they're saying:

"Ace, you are linking this story because it is ludicrously easy content where you don't even have to write a single word, the story tells itself and the objections to Kamala Harris are so obvious that you don't even have to mention them. This is just an easy lay-up post where the commenters will provide all the commentary so you can blow off work for an hour and just watch Office re-runs."


YES.

OF COURSE.

Duh, naysayers.

What, are you gonna narc on me?

That's against the Bro Code, you know.

Bro's don't narc.

Bro's snark but they don't narc.

Jason Cohen of the Daily Caller:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris said on "Storehouse & Friends" Sunday that she was determined to prevent President Donald Trump from beating her at "three-dimensional chess" during her 2024 presidential campaign.

Harris lost all seven swing states and the national popular vote to Trump in 2024. The former vice president said on the show that she recognized the Trump campaign's strategy and sought to ensure it did not affect her own.


"I was aware of my opponent's strategy. And I wasn't about to fall prey or fall into those traps," Harris said." And part of his strategy, and those around him, was to try and take me off our game and message."

"And I wasn't about to be distracted by those flames that he was trying to throw to get me away from one of my highest priorit[ies], which was talking to people about the economy and their well-being, in terms of their financial well-being," she added. "I understood the game that was being played and I made a decision that I wasn't going to get played."

Harris then cackled for several seconds while at least one of the hosts said, "Chess, not checkers."

"Yeah. Three-dimensional chess," Harris responded.


She successfully avoided Trump's "traps" and "checkers" play, but she could not outthink Mensa Chapter President, Chess Grandmaster (14,000+ rating) and Noted Rocket Trajectory Human Calculator Sonny Hostin, who played infinity-dimensional chess by asking the one question that nobody, except everyone but Kamala, expected.


She's got dead eyes, like a doll's eyes, don't even seem like they're livin', but when she talks about Venn diagrams, or electric schoolbuses, those eyes roll over white, and then you know she's alive, and you don't hear nothing' but the cackling and the slurring and the blaccent and the hollerin' about Fweedom and coconuts...


Below, black female "journalists" cry about having Failed to Position Kamala For Success. Which is generally not officially part of a "journalists'" function, but we're talking about left-wing black women here. Your stupid Pale Penis Patriarchy Rules do not apply, bigots.

40 Kamala: �There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of and I�ve been a part of of of most of the decisions that have had impact.�

Here is why Kamala did do poorly.

Put a Bill Clinton or Barack Obama in that interview and they say something vague to the effect of "I would have did everything Biden did, because he was doing good things, but I would have done them better." and then just refuse to answer a follow up if you get one.

So you can then claim you'd do better then Biden did without actually going on record opposing anything Biden did.

And if Harris was actually a person that cared about the country, the correct answer would have been "I wouldn't have destroyed half the value of the dollar via inflation to pay for illegal aliens"

102 if you're too afraid to go on Joe Rogan and defend your positions (which Bernie did very well), you aren’t a capable politician.

Which I really don't understand. She actually debates and cross-examines pretty well. This is somehow a glaring hole in her skill set.

She couldn't get away from Biden. As VP it's impossible to run away when inflation was a problem. Vance will have the same problem in 2028 with Trump's base not liking Vance's wife and children.

She wouldn't be tooting her horn if she wasn't running again. She is playing the Hillary Clinton role

Hilldawg was smart enough to bow out of politics after 2016. Kamala's clearly gearing up to lose again.

YouGov Poll: Kamala Harris leads Newsom by just 2% in a 2028 Democratic Primary. However, a plurality of Democrats say they would be most disappointed if she becomes the nominee, followed by Bernie Sanders and AOC, with Shapiro at 0% disappointment. Newsom by far viewed as most electable

113 "Yeah. Three-dimensional chess," Harris responded.

Harris barely plays zero-dimensional chess. Most of the beltway doesn’t even play one-dimensional chess. Chess requires an acknowledgment that (a) policies are in pursuit of policy goals, and (b) that policies have effects.

If DC even played one-dimensional chess, the unaffordable care act would have been repealed long ago.

This is what gets me about the complaints that Trump fans think he’s playing n-dimensional chess. Most seem to be happy he’s playing any chess at all. Even if n=1 he’s still doing better than everyone else in the beltway.

173 Every election people try to find the one thing that made a difference. It’s never that simple. It’s a lot of small things. And mainly it’s the mood of the country. All the campaigning moves the needle a little here and there. But I suspect if you had no campaigning the results would still be more or less the same.

"In this case, it’s much more likely that Democrats in Congress squinted at the Epstein docs long enough that they realized that if they selectively released certain emails and blacked out a key name, they could probably get away with saying they were trying to protect one of Epstein’s victims, instead of hiding exonerating information for Trump."

I have been on HRT for several years. I do pellets inserted every three months. It's literally a pain in the ass but worth it.

240 Compare that to JD Vance, who handles everything with grace and humor, even going on the attack if the questions are unfair.

JD's handling of a media bimbo on the Haitians eating wildlife in Ohio was a masterclass in public discussion.

The Bimbo kept repeating the claim was debunked because a local pol put out a press releasing saying so. Vance pointed out there were sworn statements and pictures from people that lived there and the bimbo repeated her statement.

So then Vance asked her, "Isn't it your job, as a journalist isn't it your job to GO there, talk with the local people, and as best as you can collect all the evidence pro and con you can find while there and report it all to the public?"

And...the bimbo got a glazed look on her face and then for the third time re-iterated that the claim was debunked.

UK PM and Effeminate Pussy Keir Starmer Vows He Will "Fiiiiiight" Any Move to Depose Him

Before that: This Effeminate Pussy just reduced the formerly "special relationship" between the UK and the US by announcing that the UK will no longer share "some" intelligence with the US... to protect his communist ally Maduro in Venezuela.

This is a major breach of our alliance.

The United Kingdom has suspended some intelligence sharing with the United States, its close ally, over the U.S. military's lethal strikes against alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean, since London thinks the attacks are illegal and does not want to be implicated, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday.

The decision to halt intelligence sharing, which took place earlier this fall, highlights the range of skepticism regarding the Trump administration's legal justification for the vessel strikes, which so far have killed at least 76 people.

The U.S. garners intelligence from a variety of sources, including the UK, which oversees some territories in the Caribbean and offers information that assists the U.S. in identifying boats suspected of smuggling narcotics in the region.

The gathered intelligence is normally delivered to the Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATFS), based in Key West, Fla., which works on monitoring and detecting suspected illegal trafficking targets and conducting counter-narcotic operations.

More than a dozen countries, including close U.S. allies, have liaison officers based at JIATFS, which is led by Coast Guard Rear Adm. Jeff Randall.

The British have radar bases and listening stations in the Caribbean. You've seen James Bond movies. They're like all set in the Caribbean. It's kind of stupid.

So this isn't nothing. The British are denying us intelligence collected at Jamaica, the Bahamas, etc.

If you missed it, Argentina is talking tough again about seizing the Falkland Islands from the British, and this time, I say we side with Argentina.

Not that these ponces will care much. They just signed over the nearly-unhinhabited but strategically useful Chagos Islands to Mauritius... which is very friendly with expansionist Red China.

These are the islands where the US maintains an absolutely vital base at Diego Garcia. The US will continue to have access to that base, for a while, as the UK negotiated a 99 year lease (on something they formerly owned)... but China will build its own base right next to ours soon enough. (The British negotiated a 24-mile buffer zone around Diego Garcia. Pretty sure a Chinese base 25 miles away would still be a threat.)

Back to the headline story:

Even the effeminate pussies at the Guardian admit that their ally Keir Starmer is the most unpopular PM in UK history.

However, they put a Happy Spin on it.

Yes, Keir Starmer is Britain’m's most unpopular PM ever. That could liberate him

Amazing. Hitler similarly felt liberated as the Wehrmacht dissolved. He felt so liberated he decided to YOLO a bullet into his own temple and liberate his cerebral cortex from his brain stem.


Forget the public vitriol and use the next four years to get things done -- first and foremost, whatever it takes to stop Reform

Somewhere in Greater Britain, a chicken cries out, "Help! I'm being sexually assaulted!"

(That is a real old-school reference.)

...

As often, Wes Streeting dares say what all can see: that there is "deep disillusionment in this country at the moment" and "a growing sense of despair about whether anyone is capable of turning this country round". The "change" Labour promised is not yet visible; we still lack a guiding light towards better things to come.

Note that name "Wes Streetling" for later.


Yet, even so, the current vitriolic state of public opinion is perplexing and alarming. Keir Starmer is the most unpopular prime minister ever.


...

As prime minister, he's short on charisma, they say: more seriously, he lacks political agility, ingenuity or instinct for where the wind blows.


...

Polling guru John Curtice warns them to stop chasing Reform voters: they've gone.

Labour's leader is failing; there's no denying it when pollsters suggest no leader could ever return from these unplumbed depths.

...

Unsurprisingly, panic on the back benches will make talk of leadership change rife if May's elections go as badly as predicted -- or, some suggest, sooner. I see aficionados reaching for the Labour party rulebook, reminding one another of a little-noticed but key change made at last year's conference. It's now easier to challenge a sitting leader at any time of year with a nomination backed by 20% of Labour MPs -- currently, 80 of them. Before, a leader was safe except in a brief pre-conference window.

...

Here's ministers' paradox: Labour's only hope lies in despair. Assume they will be wiped out whatever, so use this massive majority for four more years to follow their natural social democratic instinct: make radical tax reforms, raising plenty. Expect to lose the next election, so do everything now. Forget opinion polls and focus groups; let voters see sincerity in their purpose. The only way to restore some respect is to do transparently what they think most right and fair.

Well that's a plan. As with Hitler: YOLO it.

Remember how Labour got this huge majority: It was emphatically not because the public craved more feckless IngSoc communism and control. Just a few years before, the public handed the "Conservative" party an enormous majority, one of the largest in history.

No, Labour only won because the "Conservative" continued allowing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of immigrants, many "boat people" criminals escaping justice in their own home countries, and absolutely would not change this policy no matter how much their own voters demanded it.

Their own voters were not yet ready to embrace the "extremism" of Reform, so they choose the path of self-harm -- political cutting -- of voting for Labour to send a message.

A message Labour itself didn't get either, though they make insincere claims about wanting to "stop the boats."

There was never any desire for a return of IngSoc. People just wanted the boats stopped. Now they have more destructive socialism and more boat criminals.

The General Electios won't take place for a while. I think that Guardian scrunt mentioned May. We'll get to the May elections below.

But members of Keir Starmer's disaster-party are scheming to depose him before the scheduled party leadership vote.

Keir Starmer, the most demasculated man in the world -- even Justin Castreaux at least uses his left-wing effeminancy to smash mish -- vows he will "fight" with every atom of male strength he has, which is three. Three atoms of male strength.


Allies of the prime minister are making it clear he would fight any challenge to his leadership from Labour MPs.

There are fears from those loyal to Sir Keir Starmer that his job might be under immediate threat, perhaps as soon as shortly after the Budget in a fortnight's time.

Critics say it is evidence that Downing Street is "in full bunker mode" which "won't help the government out of the hole we're in."

You know who else went into full bunker mode?

I'm not the only one thinking about Hitler. Me and Important Conservative Thought Leader Nick Fuentes have Hitler on our minds.

Friends of Sir Keir are deeply worried about what they see as plotting going on to try to replace him and are seeking to make clear what they see as the grave risks of a leadership challenge.

You don't want none of this smoke, Friend-O.



Those names being discussed by Labour MPs as potential candidates to displace Sir Keir include some of his closest cabinet allies, especially Wes Streeting, the health secretary, and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.

Absolutely Shabana Mahmood will deliver on Labour's insincere promise to stop the Islamic Invasion of Britain.

Some also speculate about the ambitions of Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, and backbenchers including the former transport secretary Louise Haigh.

The ambition of Streeting is seen with particular suspicion from some loyal to the prime minister.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Streeting called suggestions he would challenge Sir Keir "self-defeating nonsense", and said he was not standing against the prime minister.

Asked if he would ever consider making such a move, he replied: "I cannot see circumstances under which I would do that to our prime minister."

LOL. "I cannot foresee the eventualities under which such an ambition would even be contemplated" = "Yes."

Circumstances change, don't they, Colonel? Nice Army base you have 'ere. Would be a shame if anything were to 'appen to it.

He said the prime minister should sack the aide who was responsible for the briefing, which he described as "the worst attack on a faithful since Joe Marler was banished in The Traitors final".

He added that there was a "toxic culture" in Downing Street that needed to change.

...

Opinion polls suggest Sir Keir is deeply unpopular, perhaps even the most unpopular British prime minister in the history of modern opinion polling.

Polls also suggest the Labour Party has commanded the support of no more than a fifth of the electorate in recent months.

But, a move to replace Sir Keir isn't straightforward. Under Labour's rules, it would take 20% of its MPs to nominate a challenger - 81 given the current size of the parliamentary party in the Commons.

For months now, plenty in the Labour Party have acknowledged that the government faces a likely crunch point after devolved elections in Scotland and Wales and local elections in many parts of England next May.

Ohhh, parts of the UK outside of England itself will hold elections. Most Scots vote for the socialist, pro-transgender, grievance based Scottish National Party, because at least it also pushes for independence. But for second place, Reform has just moved past Labour in polls.

But we're only talking a few seats there, not nearly enough to strip Labour of its huge majority.

As for Wales, I think again they mostly support the "nationalist" Welsh party, Plaid Cymru. Plaid Cymru leads with 28%, with Reform close behind at 21%.

The figures for Wales put Plaid Cymru on 28%, with Reform on 21%, the Green Party on 19%, Labour on 15%, the Conservatives on 12% and the Liberal Democrats on 4%. Other parties were at 2%.

But again, we are talking about a few seats changing hands here and there. Maybe. Not nearly enough to dent the Labour Majority.


Labour is widely expected to do badly in those elections, but there are growing concerns from some in the party that it can't wait until then to contemplate a change of leader.

Downing Street is aware of the potential imminence of such a threat to them.

One senior Labour MP told us: "It's all very well to say wait for the locals, but that's my activist base I'm sending into the gunfire. I can't lose all my councillors."

Another Labour source said: "The list of reasons for people to move after the Budget are growing by the day.

"If Wes is brave and moves he may well be rewarded by being prime minister by Christmas."

...

The prime minister's supporters are telling Labour MPs they should be careful what they wish for.

They argue a leadership contest would plunge the party into the chaos associated with the final years of the Conservative Party's stint in office which came to an end last year, and install a leader who does not have their own mandate from the country.

They are trying to convince their colleagues that a contest could destabilise the international markets too, and would jeopardise the good relationship the prime minister has established with President Trump.

But others, including some ministers, fret about what they perceive to be the desperate position the government is in.

"It's terrible. He [Starmer] is hated out there. It is worse than it got under Corbyn. I don't see how this is sustainable until May," one minister said.

Keir Starmer is widely-acknowledged to be a sad vagina made from soft gray putty, but he wants you to know, he is a very feisty and fighty sad vagina.

Keir Starmer has backed Wes Streeting and refuted the "completely unacceptable" No 10 leaks amid mounting speculation the prime minister could face a leadership coup.

As a civil war erupts at the top of the Labour Party, the health secretary has categorically denied that he is plotting to oust Sir Keir and called for those in Downing Street briefing against him to face the sack.

Nah it wasn't categorical. He said he could not foresee the circumstances. That's such a non-categorical non-denial it's essentially a confirmation.


In a flurry of anonymous late-night briefings, allies of the prime minister came out fighting on his behalf amid fears his job could be under threat after the Budget in two weeks' time....

Speaking during a fiery PMQs, Sir Keir said that "any attack on any member of my Cabinet is completely unacceptable", and insisted that the health secretary is doing a "great job" as he highlighted his record on turning around the NHS.


During his speech at the NHS Providers conference in Manchester Mr Streeting suggested he was not "on manoeuvres".

...

Quizzed about a 2024 interview when he expressed his desire to be PM one day.

He said: I've got a hard job already, so I'm quite enjoying doing this, and I'm thank you very much."

Adding "I'm not going to say anything today that adds to the silly season that is going down."

He's totally not thinking of challenging Starmer just like Donkey-Chompers is totally not thinking of primarying Sloppy Schumer.


"I don't think that's a helpful or constructive thing to say, I also don't think it's true.

He doesn't "think it's true" that he's going to challenge Starmer? When will he have more certainty about that estimation?

Okay enough of this gay British pageantry.

How are you?

17 The maximum life of a parliament is 5 years, so the Labour government can wait until 2029 before calling a new election. Regardless of the unpopularity of a government, Britain doesn't have any constitutional mechanism for forcing early elections, and Labour won a two-thirds majority in Parliament with one-third of the popular vote.

45 Every month the cartels kill thousands of people with their poison. More than any other war on record.

The beneficiaries of this genocide are not just the cartels. It is sovereigns like Venezuela and China, both of whom are hostile to the US and our interests. That’s demonstrable and I will debate that point on any given day, and win the argument.

The cartels have been specifically designated DTO’s for a reason. That not only allows us to kill them before they kill my neighbors or their children, it allows a whole range of actions designed to destroy them.

After all, this is war

So now that I’ve drawn that with pictures and in crayon, please tell me why Democrats, Rand Paul and this poofter, defend the cartels, Venezuela and China over American citizens?

46 The intel-sharing outrage should be met with a response 10 times its importance to make a point, but nah. Mewling non-response most likely. And of course there are completely separate grounds to revisit the intel arrangement. Ironically similar to those that our Five Eyes "allies" should have been mulling during the Obama/Biden catastrophes (presence of enemy-connected assets high in US nat security structure).

Curious about the Dutch stance here. They're actually a key player on the Caribbean side, in the south. Not part of Five Eyes, but (historically at least) very very tied in and cooperative with the US on major issues.

However the governments of Germany, France, and the UK are all on the verge of collapse, and they'll probably sweep up Denmark and the Netherlands in their wreckage. Spain is a basket case but it's been that way for 2 centuries now, so who cares.

While it borrows the name and some surface-level principles from Marxism-Leninism, Ingsoc is fundamentally distinct in its goals and methods, using authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and psychological manipulation to maintain power."

I've seen it twice. Canada's NDP which propped up Trudeau are down to 7 seats.

And the Conservatives became so unpopular that they went from a majority government to 2 seats.

Unfortunately, even though parties can be nearly wiped out, unless things are horrible, most people will just switch to the closest alternative. It's not often raging liberals or socialists will suddenly see the light.

And since you have more than 2 parties running, votes get split up and you can still be ruled by the same type of corrupt assholes - just under a different name.

But, all new Ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find any toothmarks at all anywhere on their bodies, they are to tell me immediately so that I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up.

They seriously believe that it's all everyone everywhere is talking about.

I like the headline from the Independent (commie rag fucksticks) that Trump "outed" an Epstein victim--that victim that the Dems are on about in the recent emails.

That's the headline to invoke anger--"attacking a victim!"

But, the "victim" in question is none other than Virginia Giuffre--who was very open and clear that Trump did nothing at all untoward.

Gosh, why oh why did the Dems redact her name from the emails?

192 Arguably England was well further along than Uncle Sam with fast fission, and the potential for power generation and bombs during World War Two. They had a secret program under the name “Tube Alloys”. They hoped to parlay this info, and radar developments with the US.

The US had the industrial capacity and engineering capability to get isotope separation done, however.

And the US very quickly stopped sharing information with GB. Why?

Because they leaked like a sieve to either communists or nazis. Take your pic. Klaus Fuchs for one notable example, was vetted by British intelligence, this was taken at face value, more or less, and was a great blunder at Los Alamos. I understand completely why Fuchs did what he did, he was hopelessly naive however.

Not as bad as guys from non-baseball countries, who tend to really throw like girls (non-athletic girls who don't play softball, to be precise and fair), but still.

I only use the scare quotes on "Syrian" because that "country", always a confection of the evil imperial Euros, is not exactly a coherent whole. But currently it's showing how obviously advantageous it was for the Assad regime to collapse. Druze are/will end up with de facto autonomy under benevolent quite Israeli power. Israel has/will retain strategic heights. Kurds, as usual, will need to keep on their toes, and more.

I can understand their appeal now; when the central government is failing and widely hated, a local nationalist party will have great appeal, no matter what their actual politics are.

They don’t have a choice. Remember there are only two (2) ways to get somebody to do something. You can try to persuade. Or, you have to force them.

Their parlor tricks and “nudging” are increasingly ineffective. “Manufactured Consent” was a thing for a long time. Delphi Techniques for managing the illusion of group consensus.

All backed up by a complicit “news media”. That’s all pretty much toast now. Nobody believes them any longer. About anything.

Brute force is all they have left in the toolbox. That’s why they are always at Defcon 1 for several years now.

248 House of Reps just released emails from Epstein to Maxwell saying that Trump spent hours at his house with one of the Christian child victims.

Posted by: Aliassmithsmith at November 12, 2025 12:24 PM


"The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions," she said. "The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre."

The problem is two fold. They have no guns, or knives, and will be arrested for even a walking stick IF they use it to defend themselves (seriously, that's their law). Secondly, they have so little allowed speech that they can barely scratch the surface of the many evils they face without risking arrest.

We're ONE election away in this country from facing prosecution for free speech. And after seeing how little resistance we gave Covid policy, I'm not sure our guns, knives, and sticks would be used to fight the squelching of free speech here.

Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at November 12, 2025 12:17 PM

We're not too far off from the UK even with President Trump. We'd just be FAR worse with Harris.

I have read that in Muslim countries Muslims do not pray in the streets, like they do in every Western nation. They pray in mosques. The takeover of streets and praying in public places is a show of force and show of domination for Muslims in Western nations.

This already happens all over the USA in NYC; Dearborn, MI; Minnesota; Houston, TX.

Muslims watched how everyone in Western nations bent over to tyranny during the Plandemic. They know based on that the West is ripe for conquest and will not fight back.

According to a former MD-11 pilot, when undergoing maintenance that requires the engines to be removed, a "short cut" is to remove the entire pylon/engine.

Why?

Because apparently there are fewer connections; fuel, electrical and hydraulic lines there, than at the engine itself. But this process can cause stress on the bolts that hold the engine onto the pylon.

The #1 engine fell off its pylon during the takeoff roll.

I googled the story. She doesn't look "incredible". Her face isn't as bad as I've seen it, but its still mishapen due to the surgeries. She's "blond", if by blond we mean the ends of her hair are blond and at least an inch of the roots aren't. She's posed in some awkward position that looks really, really uncomfortable. IF someone thought this was some sort of sexual glamour shot...it missed its mark.

THREAD: How Mormon Women for Ethical Government fits into a State Department–backed effort to remake America

Every Utahn needs to read this and be aware of the coup that's happening within their borders.

Recently, Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) secured a court victory and a safe Democratic seat in a new map through a judge's ruling.

The Utah legislature must impeach the judge -- not only because of their activism, but also to send a message: Utah will not permit outside backed NGOs to infiltrate and succeed in their plan to turn America into a democracy.

That's right. Mormon Women for Ethical Government is not who they seem to be. They are part of an "interfaith" ecosystem to infiltrate Utah and LDS and transform America from the bottom up.

I have the receipts.

I would have to be mauled by a bear or go through a windshield to volunteer anyone cutting my face.

I had a "surprise" basal cell on my nose after not going to the derm for 2yrs (I blamed covid). Looked like a clogged pore. Nope!

I ended up, after MOH's chipping away at it by a derm, to a visit to a plastic surgeon's office that afternoon. The next day I had half of my face carved to cover the hole by yanking up part of my cheek. I was drugged and in shock, but it was horrific and my guy helped me heal and took care of the wounds

You can't tell now unless you look very hard. But after going through my life without a pimple on my face it was rough going and put a damper on my self esteem. Fortunately my husband loves me even when half of my face is under a bandage.

So, there is NO WAY I'd do this for vanity. None. I will submit to lasering of a bump off, but that's all.

I remember that that came out around the same time as Rush Limbaugh's (first?) book. My Dad, who was in his eighties at the time was talking about Rush's book and said something like "it's even doing better than that little girl with the dirty book." Still makes me chuckle. Here she thought she was being all edgy, but to my Dad she was just "a little girl with a dirty book."

420 When the Left is in power, things always degenerate, and quickly. It is typical of them to immediately blame the man in power and not the ideology, as a kind of deflection. It happened in NYC with de Blasio. Suddenly he was the worst thing ever, and everything would be just fine if only they could replace him with another socialist who believes the exact same ideology and espouses the exact same policies. One Labour leader in Britain is just like the next.

428 Conservatives didn't vote for Labour in 2024. Half the Conservatives voted for Reform, but this just allowed Labour to win a gigantic majority with almost the exact same percent of the vote they won in 2019 (because Labour voters were not abandoning ship for Reform or for LibDems, Greens or whatever other commie alternative).
Posted by: The Lower Depths at November 12, 2025 12:20 PM (Dg7ng)

Conservatives and Labor and the other parties formed a "corrupt bargain" to block Reform rather than represent their constituents. Former Tory voters decided it was a best first step to destroy the Conservatives utterly for the betrayals of Brexit and immigration despite the huge majority they had had.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

Goodbye, Mister Lincoln

In my day-to-day commerce, I usually pay cash. If I am not doing something for which I need plastic, I usually don't use it. I get some odd looks sometimes, but it's my preference. It also makes splitting the bill at restaurants easy. Recently, I've noticed that some computerized cash registers stopped reflecting reality. If the bill came to $15.02 and I put in a $20 bill, the computer changes the total deposited to $20.02 and then returns $5.00 even. Or if the bill comes to some other fraction - say $5.27 - the bill changes to $5.25 as soon as I put in cash.

I missed it, but the US Mint has decided to stop producing pennies. They ordered their last set of blanks this year and have apparently finished - or are about to finish - the final run of pennies. The reason is cost. Pennies cost nearly a nickle to produce and the Mint expects to save in excess of $50 million per year by ceasing penny production. But the oddity to me is how rapidly stores are front-running penny scarcity.

Pennies are still legal tender and there are still more than a billion of them in circulation. There is no penny shortage and there probably won't be for quite a while. "Production has ceased" doesn't mean "not available," but some major retailers are moving more or less immediately to do away with the penny. So far, I have seen differences of one to three cents round down, with four-cent remainders rounding up. I have probably seen a net savings of about a quarter in the past couple of weeks on rounding.

Credit card transactions still settle to the (virtual) penny and I know that cash transactions are distinct minority of all transactions, but I strongly suspect that all the rounding adds up. If I have put $0.25 in my pocket in fairly short order, that has to scale out in a pretty meaningful way. If retailers are moving this fast on phasing out the penny, manufacturing costs are probably not the only consideration. The costs of handling pennies must be pretty high, too, if a retailer would rather just write it off at the first possible moment they could get away with it.

Pennies may be in circulation and legal tender, but all of this rounding is going to drive them out as it spreads. So far, I've only seen this at a couple of major retailers and one fast food restaurant but it's also very clear that they were primed and ready to put the hammer down on pennies and started rolling it out aggressively. I strongly suspect that it will move out from there and I'll know it's more or less finished when the local diner does it. The US Mint stopped producing pennies, but it didn't kill them. It did, however, apparently provide "air cover" for retailers to do it. The penny will be legal tender forever, but will likely be effectively useless within a year or two.

I understand it. Pennies are expensive to manufacture (they have cost more than their face value for nearly two decades) and probably an expensive pain in the butt to deal with at scale, with the costs of managing them far outstripping their value on both fronts. Nonetheless, it's the end of something that has always been there. Those little copper-colored pictures of Lincoln will no longer change hands. Most will be gradually scrapped and recycled, with a non-trivial number remaining in collections, junk drawers and vacuum cleaner bags. In day-to-day commerce, the penny will not be missed. It will, however, become a symbol - loud through its absence - of the ravages of inflation and movement of technology.

So long, Abe. At least you still have the five.

Legal tender for all DEBTS, not legal tender for all TRANSACTIONS.

If no debt is incurred, it doesn't apply.

Pump your gas and go in to pay? That's a debt. The gas is in your tank and you owe the store for it. Cash *must* be accepted in that scenario.

Gas station is prepay-only? No debt is incurred, because nothing changed hands prior to payment. The merchant can accept payment on any terms he wishes. He can demand cash, credit, checks, pickled eggs, whatever and it would be just fine.

Things like "cashless venues" (which yeah, I freaking despise) aren't doing anything illegal. You both agreed to the contract terms when you entered (and before any debt could be incurred) and usually there is no debt involved anyway because everything is also rapidly pre-paid. Make your choice, swipe your card, receive your goods. No debt involved.

It's only legal tender for a *debt*. Turns out that makes a difference.

They can refuse to sell you something for cash, but they can't refuse to take cash if you already owe them for something.

If it's the type of restaurant where you get the bill at the end of the meal, a debt has been incurred and they have to take cash, regardless of any signage to the contrary (they can't prove you saw it).

If it's the type of restaurant where you have to pay before getting the food, yeah, they can refuse to take cash. No food changed hands = no debt.

52 They stopped making pennies out of Copper in 1982, they are just zinc slugs now with a thin copper wash. They streamlined the manufacture, the coinage is no longer minted so much as stamped, that’s why the nickel and quarter too, have that flat chucky cheese token look in recent years. No relief.

The nickel is worth more in scrap than the face value, but it is unlawful to melt them down.

Otherwise there would be arbitrage potential. Order $500 worth of nickels at the bank, take them directly to the boys at Allied Recycling and Metals and get $624 for your labor. Rinse, lather, repeat.

It doesn't make her job easier anymore. If anything, it makes it harder. I've seen it numerous times. They are unaccustomed to getting cash in the first place and the register just spits out the total and they often automatically key in some round number, then have to go fix it. At best, this often takes more time. At worst, it causes a psychological event for the cashier and getting wrong change. I once had a girl at a Wendy's give me wrong change five times in a row. I corrected her each time and told her what the change was supposed to be. It just didn't matter. She was far, far too stupid to handle the register and I eventually gave up when she finally shorted me by a few cents - her smallest error in her own favor of all attempts to that point.

They never minted any, but the “Mill” was once widely used in accounting. 1/1000th of a dollar. A big outfit like GM watched how much they spent on parts. If they can save 200 Mills on a part, that adds up.

That’s the etymology of “Millage rate” too.

It's risk management. An idle credit card is still an active liability on their books and if you're not using it, you don't need it. The odds are good that if you *do* suddenly use it, it's likely that you're in some sort of high-risk position. Suddenly tapping disused credit is a sign that you're out of money and falling back to emergency positions. There is nothing a creditor hates more than his risk assessment suddenly changing.

So they cancel it.

They'd doubtless like to do so, but there are two things working against it:
1. People freaking hate it, even when they use plastic for most or all transactions. Someplace in Scandinavia tried it a few years ago and even their cowed and compliant populace blew up over it
2. Cash has no value if it cannot repatriate at some point, so it is very hard to use overseas for perfidious purposes if it can't come home to spend. So much nasty business is financed with pallets of hundred dollar bills that this alone helps prevent it.

Most transactions are already traced and logged courtesy of credit cards, checks and retail club memberships and going after the rest is well into diminishing returns territory, especially given the damage it would to financing nasty stuff abroad with US cash money.

It isn't impossible they'll try to go entirely cashless and they certainly really want to do so, but it is not a huge concern of mine.

It hasn’t ever been tested in court, but it is a novel legal concept.

Some lawyers hold that if they refuse the cash payment, the debt is Extinguished. Try that.

Paying in pennies is a Dick move. The courts have generally held that coinage is Legal Tender, but only up to $25, or, they must be rolled. Dumping a garbage can worth of pennies on the counter isn’t appreciated.

And they will seek their revenge.

185 Friend of mine is traveling in Ireland. Let me copy paste her story:

My credit card company has declined every transaction in the past three weeks ago, suspecting fraud. I called to put a travel alert on the account when I reserved a hotel. They then declined a small transaction at home, so I rang about that. While on the phone, I confirmed the travel alert. Nope, no alert on here, you need to call the other number. So I spent over an hour going back and forth on Monday. Okay, you’re all set. But the card was declined at the hotel, and I got a fraud call an hour later and spent 20 minutes in an international call with a non-US rep who didn’t understand that 11/11 was a federal holiday and she wasn’t going to get through to anyone at my credit union but insisted on trying anyway. I’m going to cut up the card at the CU in front of everyone when I get home.

I was kind of joking but if I do that, I'll half jokingly tell them I'm giving them this amount so I get this amount back.

I'm not a complete bastard.

You are right though. Unexpected math freaks people out.

I usually use the credit card for points anyways. But if I have the exact coinage - loonies, toonies and other coinage, I'll pay that way.

It’s true for debts that are denominated in dollars.

State, Local, Individuals. If you owe someone money, they can’t refuse cash. That’s what “Legal Tender For All Debts Public and Private” means. Think about it.

They don’t have to like it, I get that. It’s a hassle, potential for robbery or pilferage. But that’s their problem.

210 Her story continues:

The problem is my CU merged on 11/3. The old CU had a direct phone line to helpful people, the new CU has a convenient app. So my debit cards are fine. But my CC was issued by the old CC and managed by a third party. The old local phone number now takes me to the new CU phone system, but they don't oversee the old card and don't recognize it in their system. The number on the back of the card goes to a phone tree with seven options, none of which includes 'travel alert' or 'speak to rep.' When I finally got hold of someone Monday by pressing for 'fraud' she said I need to call a different number. Three guesses what number - the old CU's number that now goes to a the new CU system that doesn't recognize my old CU card. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Also worked one summer in a Vegas casino "coin wrapping room" -- a pretty good workout dumping buckets of gathered slot machine coins onto a conveyor belt to be wrapped -- after which we'd load canisters filled with the wrapped coins to be sent to the cashier cage.

My partner had been doing it for years -- and when processing the dimes or quarters or half dollars or silver dollars, would sift through piles with one hand lifting and then dropping those onto the stacks.

If he heard the right sound -- SILVER! -- he'd stop the conveyor belt (machine was noisy as hell, we should have been wearing earplugs) and isolate and pick out the coin, put it in one pocket, and substitute with a non-silver coin of his own from the other pocket -- so he technically wasn't stealing for the casino (and they had cameras in there).

Dude collected A LOT of silver ...

I wouldn't want $5 coins. Loonies and toonies are enough.

You are right though. They add up so quickly if you keep paying with bills. Surprisingly fast.

One thing Canada does that I don't care for is a different type of quarter celebrating every province. They're all the same size so that makes things easier, but having 15 different types of quarters is annoying.

The toonies are unique and easy to distinguish. Loonies and car wash tokens I get from the local gas station are very similar and I keep them all in the same place.

Posted by: rickb223 at November 12, 2025 12:05 PM (soZKq)

263 I remember seeing a seminar given by someone from the Canadian mint, explaining the science and economics of making currency. It turns out that the life expectancy of paper bills is roughly inversely proportional to their value. Which means that while it might make sense to print $20s, a $1 bill is a bit pricey to make because you have to replenish the stock more. Coins, although more expensive to make, last much longer. This explains why the Canadians got rid of the $1 and eventually the $2 bills (loonies and twonies). The sad thing is that when you go to Canada or the UK, if you use or get cash, your pockets fill with very heavy coins.

So watch out for an effort (again) to stop printing $1 bills. It will be interesting to see if they start printing more Jeffersons to compensate.

268 The scarcity mentality in my brain will miss pennies. But I'm glad the mint didn't feel like in order to stay relevant they had to make the equivalent of loonies and toonies or something like that. Keep everything else status quo. Until in fifty years inflation scraps the nickel, I guess.

280 Chemistry department at the university I retired from (I was a physics professor) used to give students an experiment to determine the mass of a single penny. One approach is to weigh a large number of pennies and divide by the number of pennies to accurately get the mass of just one penny. Doesn’t work, because the pennies the students were given (and had to return) were a mix of pre-1982 and post-1982 pennies. The proper way to do it is weigh each coin as accurately as possible and do statistics. You quickly see a bimodal distribution. If you are smart.

Easy solution.

Whenever we spend money, spend it on 1) a good 2) a service. Government is neither. Keep government spending to as low a point as you can get away with.

Inflation dies or is at least minimized.

People don’t like that as Americans worship Big Government.

292 trump ordered the Mint to stop making pennies a month or two after he was in office.

there's a great many pennies in circulation... but most of them are hoarded. People save them and it's a pain in the ass to cash them in. Imagine shoving 2,000 pennies in a coinstar machine.

Retailers COULD offer to buy pennies at a premium. But that would just mean the more hoarding because people would assume the premium would go up later.

Posted by: comradearthur at November 12, 2025 02:33 PM (+qnt+)

293 Turn in your fake pennies for "real" (hah!) money. Keep the pre-'81 (copper) pennies.
The copper in them is now worth 3.2¢ each, but it's illegal to melt them... so if you do, remove the zinc so it's not obvious 😁

The key word here is DEBT. No.one has to sell you something in return for cash. They can require a credit card, debit card , silver bullion, a couple of donkeys and a cow... whatever at the time of sale.
But, if they deliver something in return for a promise of payment in the future, that's a debt.
So, when that future arrives, they have to accept US money.
Caveat: After some well publicized occurrences where guys dumped a pickup load of pennies on someone, the law was changed to allow refusal of more than some nominal.amount of coinage, somewhere around 20 bucks, so it has to be mostly in bills.

297 Since we're talking cash....

Ordered a pizza via the phone on Emerald Isle in NC and when I went to pick it up they said they took only cash. Threw me for a loop because 90% of the time I'm usually carrying little to no cash but since I was on a mini vacation I happened to have thrown a few 50's in my wallet before leaving home so I was able to pay with cash.

Thoughts.
1) Props to the owner for hopefully shielding his cash flow from the gubmint.
2) Don't know what he would have done if I didn't have cash. I'd imagine he probably had a CC capability under the counter that he'd pull out along with a 3+% surcharge.

[Per Brave search "AI:"]

This early meaning was not inherently negative, as these soldiers were part of legitimate military units.

However, the term began to shift in connotation during the 14th century, particularly in English, where the distinction between professional mercenary armies and armed, organized criminals blurred.

As soldiers often turned to pillaging and robbery after wars ended or when unpaid, the word "brigand" increasingly came to describe those who lived by theft and violence outside established authority.

It was the final outing for golfing with the geezers. After yesterday it's just pickup rounds until spring. I did pretty good. Won two holes and got closest to the hole on a Par 3. ( about 3 feet).

The fall of the Napoleonic empire left the young Swiss painter Léopold Robert doubly dispossessed. Not only was his mentor, the history painter Jacques Louis David, forced to leave Paris in exile, but the loss of his French citizenship made him ineligible to compete for the coveted Prix de Rome.

Sorry, I was busy bottling the brew yesterday. Missed that thread.

Honestly, I don't see too much "woke", unless you count Patriarch Bartholomew, who's known as the Green Patriarch. He means well, and takes environmental stewardship seriously, but I don't think he's politically savvy enough to know to avoid the Watermelon Coalition. Other than that, if anything we've seen a lot of converts in recent years, partly because wokeism and modernization have hit everywhere else. Just my $0.02.

I suspect it comes from the "Brigantes", a large Celtic tribe in Britain that fought the Romans repeatedly. (maybe the Roman's called them that because they were fighters) Anyway, the Roman's didn't like them, and their name is too close to be a coincidence. (Same thing happened with Vandal)

305 Old news.

Paleontologists have identified a new species of flying reptile, named Bakiribu waridza.

The most compelling detail of the discovery is the origin of the fossil: it was found in a regurgitalite, or fossilized puke, left by an unknown predator.

Surprisingly, the trace fossil preserved the remains of an entirely new pterosaur species that was consumed and then regurgitated indigestibly.

That's really more the classic Down East Mainer than anything else. Since Our Town is based on Peterborough NH, the accent would be nasal, but not the laconic "ayuh," IMO.

The Morning Report — 11/12/25

DemLumps.jpg

Good morning kids. Just a quick shout-out to co-blogger and friend Buck Throckmorton for a fantastic, free-wheeling and fast hour of conversation on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here as well as in the sidebar as well as available on the usual outlets listed below)

We focused mostly on the climate change scam, which is his area of expertise, and veered into a few other things as is our wont to do.

In any case, over the last year or so, coincidentally or not with the start of the Trump 2.0 administration, much of the hysteria over climate change/global warming mercifully is on the wane and heading for oblivion. Of course until the next wave of globalist/Leftist-induced mass hysteria hits us over the head in yet another attempt to enslave humanity and destroy civilization so that the aforementioned cabal of Blofeld wannabes can lord over us peon/slaves/untermenschen.

As noted, one of the foremost among them, none other than Bill Gates himself has publicly and most vociferously renounced the global warming myth.

Bill Gates's recent comments about the importance of adaptation echo former World Bank chief economist Larry Summers's response to the concept of “sustainability,” the moral rock on which the church of climate change was built. Though still a “serious” problem, Gates no longer regards human-caused climate change as an existential threat. “People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future,” Gates said. “Surprisingly, excessive cold is far deadlier [than extreme heat], killing nearly ten times more,” he admitted.

I assume that upon hearing his apostasy against Leftist dogma, you didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling but instead smelled the proverbial rat about the size of a mastodon. Bill Gates and his big tech cronies are pushing AI hard and heavy.

Considering AI and everything associated with it vis a vis the technology that powers it requires massive amounts of energy, there is no way for it to exist without fossil fuel energy. So, Gates' denunciation of Global Warming Climate Change is mercenary in the extreme. And considering what he and his ilk crave, absolute power and the desire to reshape humanity and society in their image, there is no doubt that AI will be used mostly in pursuit of that cause, not for the advancement of humanity as we mere human beings imagine and desire.


While we're on the subject of apostasy, I've written about Sen. John Fetterman a few times over the past year or so, especially in the wake of the October 7th Islamic invasion and mass wave of butchery on Israel from Gaza. Since then he has been the very dim candle within the Category 10,000 hurricane of Israel/Jew hatred in the Democrat Party.

His latest outburst if you will was in raging against the party's holding America hostage with the Schumer Shakedown Shutdown Shitshow.

In the debate over the federal government shutdown, U.S. Senator John Fetterman, D-PA, has been the only Democrat to be critical of his party’s role in creating the debacle. In an interview on Sunday’s CNN show State of The Union with Jake Tapper, Fetterman said,  “I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, we’re shutting it down.” In addition, Fetterman noted that the problem of “42 million Americans” facing “food insecurity” would be solved if Democrats “just reopen our government.”

Fetterman continued to blast his party’s neglect of Americans in need. He claimed, “Now we are hurting the very people that we fight for, and now we’re getting nothing for them if we continue to keep our government shut down.”

These comments are both accurate and courageous, as Fetterman stands alone among Democrats. Yet, the Senator is comfortable going his own way. No other Senator wears shorts and a sweatshirt in the halls of Congress. He has also shown tremendous perseverance, publicly dealing with his stroke and clinical depression.

So is Fetterman merely trying to walk a tightrope in a state that despite the hardcore leftist strongholds of Philly and Pittsburgh is generally Republican if not necessarily conservative. But then again, his base of support wouldn't come from there. Doesn't he risk the ire of his party's leadership who could easily replace him with someone more, pliable shall we say. But regardless, When Schumer or whoever cracks the whip 99 out of 100 times Fetterman will vote the party line. As an aside, and not coincidentally, vis a vis the aforementioned about Gates, Pennsylvania is oil and coal country. Black gold in them thar hills.

But given the issues at hand, exactly what is the party line? Right now, they appear to be melding into some sort of Marxist/Islamist entity as we can clearly see with the rise of Mamdani as well as the continued presence of such execrable beasts as Bernie Sanders and Titty Caca Ocasio. And with Schumer now seen as a sellout to Trump now that the shutdown is virtually over with the Democrats having essentially nothing to show for it.


Elsewhere, this headline and story is something we've been screaming about since forever:

America needs a 40-year pause in immigration—it was a major 20th century success: The population of America after the Civil War exploded, driven by immigration, which caused constant problems in Europe and the westward expansion of America, growing 25-30 percent every decade. . .

. . . The difference today from the 1880s to 1920s is the massive amounts of illegal immigration we have allowed, which went on steroids during the dark years of Joe Biden. That unvetted mass immigration is new, but the havoc it is wreaking is not. We saw it in the real wage decline of white and black Americans, which has only gotten worse since 2014. Because universities and the teachers they cranked out into public schools purposely stopped teaching real American history to focus only on the warts, most Americans today do not know that America has been around this block. 

And as if to underscore the problem, I give you:

Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Deleted Post Calling Border Patrol 'White Supremacists' and Blaming US for Illegal Immigration . . . The revelation comes after reports that El-Sayed deleted other posts supporting the 'defund the police' movement


As you can see and infer as I have from several of the links, it won't be very long before the Islamic hordes link up arms with Antifa, BLM, street gangs of the indigenous and imported variety to hold us hostage or worse, all at the behest of the Mamdanis and Titty Caca's of the Party.

Perilous times ahead, my friends. CAIR, ANTIFA and everyone who supports, funds and protects them must be collectively destroyed, before they destroy us.

HOW we are to accomplish that act of self-preservation, given the corruption of our government and crucially our justice system, is the question.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know

    37 It is viewed by that by many of us. But the reality is 42 million Americans now not sure where their next meal is going to come from because we vote like that. Or people that haven’t been paid for five weeks now and that kinds of chaos.

    Fett the Lump is just another Democrat. He has no realization that the other 300 Million Americans NOT on Food Stamps not only have to worry about where their next meal is coming from but they also have to worry about:
    their boss
    their company
    their bills
    their customers
    their city state regulators up their asses...

    42 As FDR supposedly once said, there are no coincidences in politics. If something happens, somebody wants it that way. There’s the amazing sel-licking ice cream cone logic foisted by the courts that only the federal gubbmint can address illegal aliens. No cops, sheriffs, national guard, active duty, state patrol, texas rangers, DMV, no government employees. Etc. Further nobody can even ask. Proof of Citizenship not required for anything, even when black letter law explicitly says it is.

    The clincher would have to be when the courts long ago held that illegal aliens are entitled to public school district taxpayer dollars. It was a bullshit decision, along with their fairy tale interpretation of “birthright” citizenship. More twaddle, from clowns in robes.

    Muslims are using the same blueprint in the USA as they used in Western nations in Europe and in Canada (Toronto). They have Minnesota, Michigan and now NYC. They are also taking over Texas, specifically Houston.

    I would prefer deporting all Muslims and banning Muslims going forward. But considering no one in our lifetime will have the spine for that...

    Alexander Duncan @AlexDuncanTX

    One, simple way, to start ending the Islamization of America is to ban all Muslims from holding elected office, as their allegiance is solely to Islam, not America. Ban Sharia law in its entirety in the US, and designate CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.

    So long as Muslims get to hide behind the protection of Islam being classified as a religion, it will spread in Western nations like a cancer, taking advantage of Western nations' "tolerance" and suicidal empathy. And Western civilization will fall to Islam.

    In 2025, Trump was firing feds, fed contractors, and non-profit grants, and then fed gov closed as the cherry on top. The Ds worked that issue, and won all the LIVs plus all the out of work (thus a landslide vs the norm).

    Now smart phones… there should’ve been HUGE hoopla about smart phones back in 2006-07. Because they really have changed almost everything about how we live our lives. Will AI have such an impact? No sorry I don’t see it

    A little anecdote… our BD rep at the Fed guv in my little corner of the world has been informed (with a wink and a nod) that any new business with the govt our offering will “have” to include AI… so of course anything that contains SW (all systems do nowadays) we’ll simply claim it’s AI.

    100 Thing is with so many fed gov fired, it pisses all out of work and looking the change work folks in VA, b/c they have to compete with them now for open jobs. With so many out of work, wages can stagnate, people can be out of work a long time (in a state that doesn't pay much for unemployment), new college grads can't get hired, etc. It snowballs to be a full state issue when you have big job losses no matter how they happen b/c it effects everyone. And then the bragging about doing it becomes the dagger that moves to literal hatred...

    This is why ALL VA Ds are demanding fed gov open b/c they can't have those folks ALSO not working and getting paid on top of the 221K already out of work (granted only about 66K were this area, but still 66K is a lot of high 5K=low 6K jobs to lose in 6 months)...

    101 It was made illegal to be a Communist, at least insofar as being employed by the federal government. Mohamadism is not compatible with a free and open, secular society. I suppose that’s rather the point, but it is a little awkward to watch our “leaders” feign ignorance. Turns out what all those strict “separation of church and state” rewlly hated our judeo-christian orthodoxy. If they were consistent or rational they would be apoplectic about importing Moslems.

    I recall it being asked on the application to join the military - “Have you ever been a member of an organization calling for the overthrow of the government?” It helpfully provided “Use additional sheets, if necessary” to fully expound for my answer, if there wasn’t enough room on the page.

    106 Shutdown Deal Packs A Surprise As Republicans Strike Back After Phone Snooping

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

    “Any senator whose Senate data, or the Senate data of whose Senate office, has been acquired, subpoenaed, searched, accessed, or disclosed in violation of this section may bring a civil action against the United States if the violation was committed by an officer, employee, or agent of the United States or of any federal department or agency,” the bill says.

    Or, as Sundance over at CTH put it:

    "The Senate will be protected from abuses to the 4th amendment, but you and me – no such luck.

    Additionally, as further evidence to the structural priorities of the professional Republicans, if the legislative provision is violated, each instance of violation will result in a $500,000 payment to the senator. Go figure."

    Posted by: Ordinary American at November 12, 2025 08:00 AM

    Not only has it not been shut down in the US, but IIRC, President Bush legitimized the organization almost immediately after the 09/11 Islamic terrorist attacks. I remember reading about CAIR being given tours through US airports to assure them that Muslims were not being treated poorly in airport security, despite the fact Muslims had JUST skirted airport security to commit the terrorist attacks.

    ...there were documented meetings, discussions, and collaborations involving CAIR with agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Customs and Border Protection.

    These interactions focused on cultural sensitivity training for security personnel, policy changes to reduce profiling, and monitoring treatment of Muslim passengers returning from events like the hajj pilgrimage. For instance: CAIR chapters held talks with TSA and DHS officials on issues like headscarf (hijab) screenings and national security without bias.

Of course the Khmer Rouge separated mom from dad and kids from parents.. but she got to stay with her older sister. They were all in different camps. She didn’t starve as a young child because her older sister gave her some of her own food.

    The miracle: one night mom and dad both separately decided to sneak away and they not only found each other in the dark but their two daughters and somehow got out of the country and to America. Several other family members perished… murdered by the Khmer Rouge. These people hate communism with a passion

    The investigation was sparked after an Italian writer alleged he had uncovered evidence that wealthy gun enthusiasts — dubbed “sniper tourists” — would pay Bosnian Serb forces for the chance to gun down residents at random during the four-year siege of the city, the Guardian reported.

    More than 10,000 were killed in Sarajevo by snipers and shelling between 1992 and 1996 during the Balkan Wars.

    -------

    These transhumanist technocrat ghouls are obsessed with AI because they believe it can make manifest the fevered visions of dominance and solitude that haunt their waking moments.

    But that isn't the specific motive here. Fossil fuels will never be enough to power their doomsday weapons and see through their plan to annihilate most of humanity and enslave the pitiful remainder.

    The entire industry recognizes that they have to rapidly scale out nuclear infrastructure if they're going to upend G-d's nature and become lords of all they survey, and they are already pushing for that as hard as they can.

    If that were the motive, all this dull-gray homunculus would say is "nuclear power is the future of climate control, give my killbots Mother Earth more delicious electricity!"

    There's something else at play, here.

    184 I saw some info indicating there are several datacenters in California, built, but not hooked up to the grid. Apparently because there's not sufficient juice to run them.

    This, IMO is the real story of AI. How much electricity and water they need to operate. And... how the state and/or county they're being built in is passing on the huge cost increases for those utilities to the local consumers. In exchange for some property tax. And probably some money under the table.

    Locally there was some preemptive work done to stop the construction of such a datacenter about 10 miles from me. The cost increases for water and electricity to us, if this thing was built, were expected to be double, or probably more, what we're paying now.

    For many, it was going to ruin them. Run them out of their homes.

    That's the "real" story behind AI.

Central Asian airlines announced agreements for up to 37 Boeing jets -- Air Astana’s new 787s, Somon Air’s first wide-bodies and 737s, and additional 787s for Uzbekistan Airways. These deals sustain U.S. aerospace jobs while anchoring ties with a region that sits astride China, Russia, and the Middle East.

    ++++
    Like wokeness more generally, climate insanity depends on two things:
    1. The absence of dissent enforced by control of cultural, scientific and government institutions
    2. Generalized abundance

    They still more or less have the control required for #1, but major cracks have shown up and the loss of Twitter was a fairly big deal. They can still do a lot of message control, but they are losing the ability to completely stop dissent and they way they responded to COVID hurt them rather than helped them.

    But even that can be overcome on its own, though the failure to provide abundance may make it impossible. You can't call people evil *and* make them poor simultaneously. You have to choose one or the other. The tolerance for things like wokeness and climate scams goes way down when you can't fill your tank (or even have a tank to fill), can't buy a house, etc. - and those are minor consequences of the end of abundance.

    234 But given the issues at hand, exactly what is the party line? Right now, they appear to be melding into some sort of Marxist/Islamist entity as we can clearly see with the rise of Mamdani as well as the continued presence of such execrable beasts as Bernie Sanders and Titty Caca Ocasio. And with Schumer now seen as a sellout to Trump now that the shutdown is virtually over with the Democrats having essentially nothing to show for it.
    ++++
    The same can be said for the execrable GOP. What is *its* party line? Like the Dems, the GOP has its own schism. There's the vaguely populist "MAGA" line run by Trump, the good ole' boy cronyism line run by the GOPe, the various smaller factions like the pseudo-libertarians exemplified by Paul and the radical factions like Nazi-curious (or at least authoritarian-curious) Zoomers who are not a party faction but might end up landing there.

    Both parties are shattering, which is to be expected since both parties are (were) largely the same and are mutually responsible for breaking everything.

    244 "Abdul El-Sayed Deleted Post Calling Border Patrol 'White Supremacists' and Blaming US for Illegal Immigration"

    It IS indeed the fault of USA for allowing any illegal immigration. Trump showed it could be stopped, while Biden spent four years flying unvetted illegals into our interior, while also leaving borders wide open.

    Memes like "Diversity is our Strength" were never true. Every Muslim (are there any real exceptions?) makes us more "diverse" but also weaker and more divided. The globalist drive to destroy US cohesion is apparent, and the DeepState pseudo-alliance with our enemies is also pretty clear.

    Partial points. The US (the US government, at least) *is* responsible for illegal "immigration."

    The US government tolerated, enabled and encouraged it. The US government acts as the stateside partner in the vast trafficking networks. The US government and its quangos finance it and handle the street-level logistics.

    So yes, "illegal immigration" *is* the fault of the United States - though I am sure it's not for the reasons this chump is asserting.

    This has been my concern about Trump's age -- old people cannot shift their mental frameworks. It's not a matter of will -- it's neurological. They cannot adapt to the paradigm, and Trump's paradigm is the Boomer/Silent paradigm: young (white) kids don't wanna work, don't got any sense, and don't got any abilities.

    291 >>Not surprisingly the same thing is happening in the UK and even worse there. The only advantage the conservatives have in the US is that they can rally around Trump, who still has popular support. But when he’s not heavily involved in a race, like Virginia or NJ, see what happens.

    There's no denying Republicans have done better when Trump is on the ballot but I think way to much has been made over the results in VA, NJ and NYC. They are various shades of blue states that don't really track with Trump. And local candidate quality does matter. Sears seems like a good person but she is not MAGA, was not endorsed by Trump and ran a pretty lackluster campaign. And there are a lot of pissed off people in NOVA because of all the cuts to government.

    The midterms will be much more telling than an off year election in mostly blue states.

    294 My visit to the CPA yesterday went fine. Her software is for 2024 right now, so it doesn't allow for the extra $6K in the standard deduction -- which I used in my calculations. But my other assumptions were correct. When I took the $6K out of my sheet, I got a to-be-paid amount for next year about the same as hers. (My calculation says I get about a $30 refund.)

    Her software for some reason calculated the taxable amount of my SS as $5K lower than I think it will be. She said it's based on your other income. I guess I'll have to wait until late Jan. to see on the new IRS forms.

    This visit was free. I wonder if the $250 she'll charge next spring will be worth it.

    Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 12, 2025 09:04 AM (yjAVs)

    For human beings, it just depends where you are. During the last ice age, the American southwest was covered with lakes and full flowing rivers that are dry now. Texas was very wet, and had herds of columbian (not wooly) mammoths roaming across it. The Sahara was a fertile Savannah of grasslands full of the animals that only live much farther south now.
    And there were vast new coastal plains near every seashore, as the ocean was 400’ lower.
    The ice ages weren’t bad, they were just different.

He makes everyone else at the table look like clowns. She may well have helped launch Jennings' political career should he decide to run for office in Kentucky.

    359 Good morning, all! Thank you, J.J.

    PA is close to lost, and has no West Coast appeal to keep it afloat. It won't get better given the governor's political interests. (YouTube, MSNBC, Problem solvers won the night for Democrats: Gov. Shapiro, Nov. 6, with Jen Psaki.)

    Rs lost PA Superior Court, Commonwealth Court, and Court of Common Pleas. Rs also again lost Delaware County Council; Sheriff; County Controller; Register of Wills; six Magisterial District Judges (almost a solid turnover to women, too) & almost every school district but for a few moneyed and keeping their schools on an educational v. DEI path. Only town auditor(s) - again only in the finest places in the county such as Thornbury, Newtown, and Chadds Ford - held an R line.

    A Zero Waste Plan adopted by the County cited environmental justice concerns in Chester, PA though data cited is generally from the 1980s & a HUGE port operation

    360 with several hundred diesel fueled trucks traveling each day to & from the port & small towns abutting Chester.

    Chester mayor said city has “moved on” from a proposed gas export terminal in or near Chester. (More environmental justice.)

    The county is currently involved in legal dispute w/Chester over casino revenues as part of the city' municipal bankruptcy proceedings. It's seeking to ensure a prior agreement that used casino funds as security for a loan (Subaru Park) is honored. ($28.6 million in bonds issued & the county was granted a security interest in revenue from Harrah's Casino.) Doubt the county & bondholders prevail.

    Crozer Chester Hospital's parent co went bankrupt. Chester & other towns lost important hospitals.

    Chester was a "financially distressed municipality" under Pennsylvania's Act 47 program since 1995, went under receivership June 2020, when the Commonwealth Court granted an order appointing a receiver to manage its finances.

    Alleged environmental justice issues & few other issues affecting the city & adjacent towns make NO sense but for outside investment in & luxury development of waterfront property.

    Voting D for gentrification & no jobs.

    Top Story



    Tech News

    • The worst-selling Microsoft product ever. (Tom's Hardware)

      Not the worst product, not by a long shot, but there was no real market for it.

      Microsoft used to sell accelerator cards for computers. They started with the SoftCard for the Apple II, which added a Z80 for running CP/M. Later they had an 8086 card called the Mach 10 and then an 80286 card called the Mach 20 for IBM PCs and compatibles, which took over from the 4.77MHz 8088 assuming that's what you had.

      None of those are the thing. They all sold... Fine, basically.

      No, the thing was the OS/2 operating system - for the Mach 20 card. It required a custom version.

      Microsoft sold eleven copies. Eight of them were returned.
      One of my former colleagues spoke with the person who took over from him as the support specialist for OS/2 for Mach 20. According to that person's memory [...] a total of eleven copies of "OS/2 for Mach 20" were ever sold, and eight of them were returned. That leaves three customers who purchased a copy and didn't return it. And the support specialist had personally spoken with two of them.
      Wait, there was a time when you could return software?


    • Apple meanwhile is now selling a sock for $229.95. (The Verge)

      It's called the iPhone Pocket.

      It's not an iPhone.

      It's not even a pocket.

      It's pretty literally a sock.

      Yes, we've been down this road before. But at least both Steve Jobs and his audience knew the idea was ridiculous, and in 2004 you got a six pack of socks in a rainbow of colours for $29.


    • AMD has mentioned - not announced, but officially mentioned - Zen 6 and Zen 7 as upcoming products. (WCCFTech)

      No specs or prices or dates but they are officially a thing that might happen some day.


    • The Chinese electric vehicle market is imploding. (The Atlantic) (archive site)

      I saw - just yesterday, I think - a YouTube video reporting that Chinese EV market leader BYD was losing money twice as fast as Tesla is making it - around $10 billion per quarter.
      In China, you can buy a heavily discounted "used" electric car that has never, in fact, been used. Chinese automakers, desperate to meet their sales targets in a bitterly competitive market, sell cars to dealerships, which register them as "sold", even though no actual customer has bought them. Dealers, stuck with officially sold cars, then offload them as "used", often at low prices. The practice has become so prevalent that the Chinese Communist Party is trying to stop it.
      Sounds like the same scam we've seen a thousand times before, right before things turn pear-shaped.

      Often but not exclusively in nominally communist countries.


    • ClickFix may be the biggest security threat your family has never heard of. (Ars Technica)

      I think not.
      ClickFix often starts with an email sent from a hotel that the target has a pending registration with and references the correct registration information. ... Once the mark accesses the malicious site referenced, it presents a CAPTCHA challenge or other pretext requiring user confirmation. The user receives an instruction to copy a string of text, open a terminal window, paste it in, and press Enter.
      There are two kinds of people in my family. The first kind would say Open a what? and call one of the second kind. Who is probably in the next room installing BSD 4.4 on an IBM RT they found at Goodwill for $5.

      The second kind would laugh and say They're not even trying anymore! before returning to the task at hand.


    • The Thunderobot Mix G2 is a mini gaming PC with an Intel 275HX CPU and a mobile RTX 5090. (Liliputing)

      Well, up to one of those. It starts with a 255HX and a mobile 5070 Ti (remember that Nvidia's mobile model numbers are generally equivalent to the next lower desktop model) for $2105.


    • The Olares On is a mini gaming PC with an Intel 275HX CPU and a mobile RTX 5090. (Liliputing)

      Although it claims not to be, those are indeed the specs. One model only at $2999.

      Both of these systems have, for some strange reason, only a single HDMI port.

    22 @Pixy: Also on BP meds here. I had a few dizzy spells in the beginning of that as well in the first 6 weeks after taking the medication. I'm well past that point now (1 year, 4 months on it now.)

    Hang in there. Good advice you got on sitting down if you feel dizzy. That puts you a lot closer to the floor (or ground) if you do black out - less chance of injuries.

    Chart when you take your med on a spreadsheet. Try to shoot for the same time-of-day within a one hour window. (Keeping track also helps re-assure you that you actually took the thing so you don't accidentally double-up, which also can cause blood pressure to crash.)

    If you're dehydrated, your BP drops. (Less fluid to pump around, after all.)

    Plus you need to be sitting calm for 5 minutes with the blood pressure cuff at your heart level before you take your blood pressure. Which means you can't read the crap that idiots like me post here while you're taking your BP.

    Of course, if your readings were that low, maybe you should read more crap to raise them.

So, I cut my 40mg lisinopril to 20mg/day, felt better with repeated B/P checks to confirm better systolic/diastolic numbers. Cardiologist agreed and changed dosage to 20 mg / day. So with some too low B/P still evident, I adusted to 10mg/day and feel much better. Have not informed Cardio of what I did but am very stable. Pill cutters are your friend.

    People still drink, I guess. But at current price$$$ for a fifth (if the stuff still comes in that size), I can imagine they're a lot more reluctant to shell out on a product they don't know. And perhaps they drink less overall to make what they have bought last longer.

    54 I'm on a BP med and have been for a few years. I haven't noticed any sudden dips in pressure, not even after a workout. The vertigo I had in late 2018 happened before I went on that Rx, and was traced to an inner ear problem, not to low BP.

    Dubbed by some cyber researchers as the “Smishing Triad,” the organization, which Google said is largely based out of China, uses a phishing-as-a-service kit named “Lighthouse” to create and deploy attacks using fraudulent texts.

    62 I set up two more rules in the Inbox of my old work email (which, as an alumnus, I have for life). One deletes those "quarantine at messaging" emails we got all the time telling us how hard the security system was working for us. The other was a rule to forward the every-six-months email about "It's time to change your password" to my Proton account. This way I'll know to go take care of it.

    When I was having trouble signing in to the old work email last week, I called the help desk. They took care of it. But when I mentioned setting up the rules above, the girl on the phone seemed puzzled and said, "Not sure what you mean. We can find someone to help you with that." I laughed and said, "But doing it myself is half the fun!"

    68 I developed a fear of looking down from heights over they years. I'll even wake up from dreams with a start if I get a dizzying view. I'm a little convinced it has to do with converging angles and the way my brain processes them.

    About 25 years ago I had my first anxiety attack and my Doc put me on a mild dose of an antidepressant, Lexapro, I believe, which I eventually quit but I was amazed that my instant, automatic freak-out over looking down in certain situations completely went away when I took it.

    75 I had several syncope episodes after being diagnosed CHF, was put on Carvedilol and Lisinopril meds. Finally the cardiologist did a Orthostatic hypotension BP test and confirmed my BP drops too much in upright position and has discontinued all meds for now. The test is so simple and I think it should have been done before the meds were prescribed. Test is just take BP laying down, sit up and wait 1 minute, test again then stand up and wait 1 minute, test again. I used compression stockings for a while, they helped but biggest help was stopping the pills.

    126 Mosquitoes are very seasonal and are driven by how much rain has fallen in the preceding weeks. We just finished up a couple weeks of very wet weather where the typical dry sandy soil we have was wet even at midday even when it handy rained. Saturated.

    I could sit in my kitchen and look out the window to all the mosquitoes just randomly flying around my deserted back yard.

    The dragonflies have been very busy as I imagine the bats have been too.

    The first cold front usually around Haloween is the usual end of the bad times but they are here year round especially after a good rain.

    So the rainfall drives the major population but that's coupled with the seasonal rainfall.

    Southern FL gets a lot of mosquitoes year round.

    152 Most of my adult life, perhaps all the worth-while part of it, has been spent messing about with aeroplanes. Kenneth Grahame once wrote that 'there is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.' With that I would agree yet for a fleeting period in the world's history I think that aeroplanes ran boats a very close second for enjoyment. For about 30 years there was a period when aeroplanes would fly when you wanted them to but there were still fresh things to be be learned on every flight, a period when aeroplanes were small and easily built so that experiments were cheap and new designs could fly within six months of the first glimmer in the mind of the designer. That halcyon period started about the year 1910 and it was in full flower when I was a young man; it died with the second war when aeroplanes had grown too costly and complicated for individuals to own or even to operate. I count myself lucky that that fleeting period coincided with my youth and my young manhood, and that I had a part in it.

    The private R-100 dirigible, with Shute as a key member of the design and fabrication team, flew across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada, frolicked around for a while, then flew back to the UK.

    The government R101 dirigible had one test flight of short duration then on a flight to India, crashed in France, killing a number of people.

    On This Date More Than One Hundred Years Ago


    Profound comment in the replies

    Silence fell on the land, on the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day or the eleventh month in the year of 1918. Birds chirps replaced the crack and thud of the cannons. Peace returned; but the seeds of war were already planted, even before the silence took over or could last.
    Peace was a welcome respite. But it would be silenced in a too short few decades later. Lest we forget. Peace is like the fleeting chips of the birds—too easily lost. Too much money to be had on the other side of those chirps.

    Revolutionary!

    New series begins airing on Sunday, November 16th

    THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a new six-part, 12-hour documentary directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down.

    Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.

    ***

    Filmmaker Quote: “The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history,” said Ken Burns. “We went from being subjects to inventing a new concept, citizens, and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding, I’m hopeful that people throughout the country will come together to discuss the importance of this history and to appreciate even more what our ancestors did to secure our liberty and freedoms.”

    Review from The Hollywood Reporter

    Ken Burns Tackles the War for Independence in Patriotic, Pragmatic and Familiar Form

    Surprisingly decent write-up - with the exception of this unnecessary bilge

    Though it’s hard to watch The American Revolution without awareness of the anti-monarchic sentiments shared at recent rounds of “No Kings!” protests — to hear the noble egalitarian sentiments that launched the American experiment without pondering the ways the fulfillment of our freedoms has fallen short of our loftiest aspirations — the doc does not overtly acknowledge Donald Trump.

    If you're able to get to Filth-adelphia...

    I visited the Museum of the American Revolution ahead of America's 250th birthday. Here are the coolest things I saw.

    America has a big birthday coming up.

    The year 2026 will mark 250 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, a milestone also known as America's semiquincentennial.

    Located down the street from Independence Hall, where both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were signed, the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia is gearing up for the celebration with a special exhibition, "The Declaration's Journey." The collection features over 120 artifacts that chronicle the impact of the Declaration of Independence in the US and around the world.

    "The Declaration's Journey" opened on October 18 and will remain on display until January 3, 2027, in honor of the anniversary.

    The museum also features a permanent collection with artifacts focusing on the creation of America as an independent nation. The exhibits guide visitors through exploring four questions: How did people become revolutionaries? How did the Revolution survive its darkest hour? How revolutionary was the war? And what kind of nation did the revolutionaries create?

    Pretty good article. Photos of some of the artifacts at the link.

    Perhaps we could have a mini-MoMe at the museum one day in the spring when it warms up? Anyone interested?

    Booze News

    One of the Largest Whiskey Distilleries in the U.S. Just Saw Its Sales Plummet Again

    Just a few months ago, we reported that MGP, one of the biggest American whiskey distilleries, saw a drop in sales of nearly 25 percent. While that was bad news for the company, it also was in line with much of the other reporting out there detailing the slowdown that is currently affecting the whiskey industry. Well, some more bad news arrived late last week for MGP in terms of reduced sales and income, but the company is trying to put as good a spin on the situation as it can.

    According to a press release issued by MGP on October 29, the third quarter of 2025 was bleak compared to that of the prior year. Consolidated sales decreased by 19 percent to $130.9 million, consolidated gross profit dropped by 25 percent to $49.4 million, net income fell by 35 percent to $15.4 million, and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) dwindled by 29 percent to $32.3 million. According to the report, the decrease in sales was mostly due to “expected declines in brown goods sales”—in other words, whiskey—directly leading to the drop in profit.

    When a "handle" of whiskey just isn't enough!

    Jack Daniel’s Launches 3-Liter Whiskey Bottle — Because Why Not?

    Want to impress (or overwhelm) your loved ones this holiday? Don’t buy them a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. Instead, buy them a new three-liter bottle of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, now available in the U.S. for the first time since Prohibition.

    “Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey has been at the heart of everything we make at the Jack Daniel Distillery since the days of Mr. Jack himself,” said Chris Fletcher, Master Distiller, Jack Daniel’s. “We hope this bold new take will help create timeless holiday memories that last long after the bottle is gone.”

    Right, but … three liters? That’s four times the size of a typical booze bottle and almost twice as much as the previous largest Jack Daniel’s offering (the distillery currently sells their Old No. 7 release in 50 mL, 100 mL, 200 mL, 375mL, 750 mL, 1 L and 1.75 L sizes). Then again, at $80, that’s somewhat of a bargain, given that the 750 mL bottle retails for about $25-$30.

    That is a lot of whiskey!

    (from thisdayinmusic.com)

    On this date in 2014: Big Bank Hank (Henry Lee Jackson), from The Sugarhill Gang died aged 58 from kidney complications due to cancer. The Sugarhill Gang were the first hip hop act to have a hit with the cross-over single 'Rapper's Delight' in the pop charts in 1979.



    On this date in 1972: 24-year-old bassist Berry Oakley, a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band, was killed in a motorcycle accident. In a horrific coincidence, the crash took place in the same intersection where bandmate Duane Allman was killed just one year earlier.



    Born on this date in 1953: English guitarist, singer-songwriter and record producer Andy Partridge best known for co-founding the band XTC

    Why did I choose that particular song? Maybe today's date has something to do with it.

    27 3 liters of whiskey? To reduce excess packaging, Mother Gaia demands that all whiskey should be packaged this way!

    Seriously, I buy my preferred tipple in 1.75 liter bottles, and use it to refill the 750 ml bottle that I keep on the counter. There's a real economy of scale when buying the bigger bottle.

    38 As Idaho Spudboy noted above, there can be some value in buying bigger bottles. It's like almost anything else. Volume discount.

    And it's not just for everyday stuff. I've noticed some fairly pricey bourbons and cognacs available in the 1-liter bottles, with a price break per ml compared to 750s.

    Refilling 750s might have other benefits depending on the booze. The aeration it gets in the process can, in some cases, really change/open up a spirit. There are some aged sipping rums that people decant/rebottle just to start the aeration process, as it yields desirable results. I have one Guyanese rum I've considered for this, since I noticed the last 1/3 of my first bottle was better and much more interesting than the first 2/3 (which was fine).

    54 Regulars of the gun thread may know I've got some work to do in disposing (taking, or selling off) parts of a substantial gun collection. And ammo. I've noted that the estate includes 9K rounds of high-quality German milsurp 7.62x51 NATO.

    In searching around the web for info, I've seen this kind of ammo has occasionally been on sale by the bigger online purveyors. Also, sort of encouraging, GunBroker has a very recent sale of this stuff at $.80=1.00/round. So at this point I'm hopeful I can get a local gun store in the remote location to buy it for a decent price (I'm assuming the usual retail ratios apply, vendor - me - gets about half of the expected retail price at which they sell it).

    No idea what would be behind that.

    I think there's a bit of (typical, expected) guns & ammo slump going on as well - current administration is obviously fantastic for the country, but very bad for panic- or concern-driven sales. Y'all will recall the posters of the affirmative action intern "president" in gun stores - "gun salesman of the year". That sort of dynamic.

Washington literally marched his troops down the street my old house was on, right past where my house is, then he marched them down the road the one harley shop I work out of is on, which is right by the new house, and eventually to the battle of Monmouth, which is not that far from me.

    81 NY Post: IOC to ban trans women from all female Olympic events.

    I'm not surprised. Likely greatly pressured by the Trump Regime to do so. it's gonna be a cluster anyway when ICE detains every brown athlete trying to enter the US

    Every day I read the news and discover a new right that I don't have anymore. The IOC itself is transphobic but there’s almost certainly international politics being played here too.

    Doing all this to stick it to the *checks notes* zero transgender women who competed in last year’s summer Olympics. I hate it here

    There is no valid reason at all to exclude all trans women from women's sports. At all period. Trump also wants to ban medical transition for minors (up to 25 for some fucking reason)

    In similar spirit, the words of Gen. McArthur, Sep 2, 1945.

    Today the guns are silent. A great tragedy has ended. A great victory has been won. The skies no longer rain death. The seas bear only commerce. Men everywhere walk upright in the sunlight. The entire world lies quietly at peace. The holy mission has been completed.

    And in reporting this to you, the people, I speak for the thousands of silent lips forever stilled among the jungles and the beaches and in the deep waters of the Pacific which marked the way. I speak for the unnamed brave millions homeward bound to take up the challenge of that future which they did so much to salvage from the brink of disaster.

    I will probably not be physically present for any sales other than to gun stores, due to logistics.

    I'm aware of a handful of morons in the general vicinity of the place. Figure I'll communicate with Weasel about possibility of any sales to the horde. As you can imagine the ridiculous gun laws and shipment issues make a remote selling operation a no-go. I'd love to take the entire trove of primers, but fuggetaboutit (regardless of legal/estate issues). Might be able to bring back small amounts of high-end self-defense ammo in airline luggage.

    93 In case there are folks who have not heard of or read this classic war memoir, Eugene Sledge's "With the Old Breed" is a searingly powerful and eloquent account of his fighting in the Pacific campaign.

    You can also see some interviews with Sledge and a handful of his fellow Marine veterans talking about how horrific it was to fight the Japs, who were far more vicious in battle than the Germans.

    God bless our fighting men.

    I had two great-uncles (brothers) who served together in the Army in France. One bullet hit them both in the trenches...one brother was ok, the other lost his leg but lived. How I am unsure, as no antibiotics. Both were wonderful men from north MS, & one a wacky English professor at Ole Miss.

    My grandmother's half brothers. 10 siblings, 3 wives after one would die to raise the rest and hatch another.

    The uncle with his wooden leg remained a bachelor til his death. Living in an old white Victorian house outside of Oxford. Wrap around porch with giant oak trees & the entire family would meet, over 100+, in August there. I remember the porch swing, food, family and the huge, huge oak trees as the adults played croquet.

    Double seater outhouse.

    He would always get us kids together to eat watermelon off the east coast and see how far we could spit seeds.

    He left all of his money to his nieces and nephews.He was quiet and kind. His sisters said later that he had PTSD, but they did not call it that...sometimes nightmares at night.

    116 Enola Gay fiasco was '95, 50th anniversary of Hiroshima. Think there was quite a division within the Smithsonian staff responsible. Thankfully common sense won out, plus it kicked off a substantial movement of real historians to debunk the ridiculous "revisionist" crap being pushed about the war's end. Unfortunately for the "revisionists", they seemed unaware of much of the basic material related to these questions. The Japanese ambassador to Moscow in 1945 provided, all by himself, a repudiation of their ludicrous claims, in his intercepted communications with Tokyo.

    Was at State at the time. So I decided to go see what their library had on the subject. Found "Behind Japan's Surrender" by Lester Brooks (1967). It had been checked out *one time* (!!!!). It was pre-1974 so definitely didn't have Purple/Ultra material in the mix, but still enough was known to sketch out what a crazy near-miss CF the whole process was (which of course invalidates "revisionist" assumptions and conclusions).

    Much later I read "Japan's Longest Day" (1964), a must-read for anyone who wants to know just how chaotic, uncertain, and dangerous the Japanese internal process was that led to surrender.

    My father, who downplayed his experience in WWII as a Marine on those islands, said they were first sent to Peleliu to guard an airstrip. One night while they were sleeping the Japanese walked right past them vs being shot. They also were clearing caves and burying many of their own after the first push. He was in the second landing.

    His job was to figure out where the big guns would be fired. Claims his missed targets, etc, as he was always joking. He did not joke, though, about losing his buddies. My mother said on the Marine's birthday he'd call his friends across the nation who survived with him. He got malaria but came home whole, married years later and had me, his little replica in female form.

    143 Enola Gay was Tibbetts' mother's name of course.

    For the 2nd mission, which ended up hitting Nagasaki - and was a general CF from the get-go, in contrast to the impossibly perfect Hiroshima mission - they switched planes. Sweeney's plane was the Great Artiste (named for their bombardier, considered a master at his craft). But it was outfitted as the instrumentation plane for Hiroshima, and instead of doing all the work to change things in the short time between the two operations, Sweeney just took Bock's Car (named for Capt. Frederick Bock) for the mission.

    Well, that’s because 15 years ago was …. 2010

    The 1990s was a long time ago. The plane was not considered something to save, necessarily. I think it spent a lot of time in the 1950s stored outside. It was in sad shape. Then it was disassembled and sat disassembled for many years in a warehouse.

    The controversy at the time was huge. Veterans groups were royally pissed off. The crew was still alive at that time, and they were not happy either.

    My point was to illustrate the assholes have been assholing for a long, long time. “Bring the War home!” they said in the 60s.

    The physical reel shown in the clip is real, at least.

    Anyway, audio recording back then were hard to make and they all sounded like shit. Everything is muddled together. Think of a big band recording in an old Hollywood movie from the '30s. You can't really make out individual instruments. It's just sonic mush.

    By late 1944 America had 18 fleet carriers in the Pacific, plus light carriers and escort carriers that brought the total to over 100 carriers. 100. The world had never seen such an incredible explosion of productivity.

    The Japanese were never able to deploy more than six fleet carriers at any time during the Pacific War because the U.S. sank their newly-commissioned carriers as fast as they could be commissioned. They had no idea what they had gotten themselves into.

    Bing Crosby and Ampex, the Germans had improved recording technology and was considered “intellectual reparations” or something like that, so there was a big jump in music fidelity right after the war. They had learned how to record on magnetic tape, with a bias in the carrier frequency.

    No royalty payments (like there had been during World War One) were envisioned, whole companies of troops advanced along the fronts and hoovered up everything. Tons and tons of documents, blueprints, processes were mimeographed. It all went to the US, Britain, Soviets, etc.

    When I first saw it, it was at 6:05 PM, and the afterglow of the sunset was still bright on the western horizon. My first thought was, gee, looks like a band of high cirrus cloud, or maybe a jet contrail, lit up by the Sun below the horizon. But as I drove north, and kept watching it, I could see it resolve into the streaks and curtains typical of an Aurora.

    Still going on here. Most of the sky is faint blotchy pink. You can see the stars right through it. You know the cloud pattern they call a "mackerel sky"? Like that, but faint pink.

    All audio recording was done acoustically up until the late 1920's. Sometimes the fidelity was pretty good, often it wasn't. Many jazz bands used wood blocks instead of drums, because drums were loud enough to jump the recording needle right off the wax. Listen to a Louis Armstrong Hot Five recording to hear the wood blocks. By the early 1930's electronic recording was nearly universal. Sound on film became pretty good, too. In theory, it could beat vinyl records or tape for bandwidth.

    If you watch a 1930's movie now, you are probably watching a dubbed copy with inferior recording techniques for the sound. "High Fidelity" in the 1930's did not have the frequency range that it does now, but it was not in any way crap. It was as good as could be

    219 Here is an interesting little book, published in 1950 by Gernsbach: Hi Fidelity Techniques, James Langham.

    It was written with the home audio enthusiast/set builder in mind, but it contains many interesting vignettes by a guy who was there for it. Some humorous stories, too.

    Recalling the thread before last, Younger-Dryas and all that, that's an actual alternative disaster theory as opposed to the comet shotgun blast one. That there was a massive solar flare event, protons on the deck, that wreaked the havoc.

    238 One nit.
    It's highly unlikely that any private party will be arrested, but be aware that refilling booze bottles is illegal in almost every state. The law is aimed at bars that load cheap booze into top shelf bottles, but the laws don't make any fine distinctions. Refilling aliquor bottle is illegal regardless of who does it or what brand is put in it.
    ----
    Because of shortages of bottles during the sniffle scare, the Montana legislature approved a revision in the liquor regulations. You can use a larger bottle to refill smaller bottles but the smaller bottle must be an original bottle to the larger.
    So, you could use a 1.75 liter bottle of Nikolai Vodka to refill a 1 liter bottle of Nikolai Vodka.

    Wrong think. There are no natural freaks. It's the Dr.s, facilitators, thought leaders and politicians who create this problem. The way to solve it is to segregate these people, totally, from civil society. Your choice.
    Then, those frail persons who have been misguided by these physical and mental mutilators will also be segregated from civil society into a controlled environment designed to reorient them into common society. For them and other unfortunate souls that cannot adjust there will be places for them. They were formerly called asylums. New think being eliminated they will now be called, asylums.

    It's an ongoing question about whether Sol is capable of an extinction level "superflare", energies 4 or 5 orders of magnitude above the largest ones we know about.

    The answer is probably not, but they can't be sure. They've found a few sun-like stars out there that do produce these superflares, but they think they are different enough, something crazy, that means the Sun probably can't do that, at least at the current point in it's lifespan.

    I think all that can be said for certain is the Sun hasn't produced a superflare in the last 10,000 years.

    Odd, considering other parts of the story:

    '"We have to guess for the reasons," said Theo Bovens, a Dutch lawmaker who also serves as the president of the Black Liberators.'

    Updated to this:

    'The ABMC told Newsweek in a statement that the visitors' center at Margraten had 15 magnetic panels "designed to be removed and rotated throughout the life of the exhibit to highlight as many individual stories as possible."'

    There was a guy on EweTube a few years ago that did a series of glitter and stink bombs versus porch pirates.

    The current ones with clouds of powder are definitely AI. One I watched had the package sticking to the back of the pirate's hand. As he runs away, he shrinks into the distance, but his getaway car is disportionately larger than he is. Finally, the pirates are invariably fat, white people.

    The bent pyramid of Sneferu. The story goes that it was being built at the same time of the meidum pyramid, and the meidum pyramid collapsed during construction. This brought about an "oh shit" moment, and they decided to reduce the angle of the bent pyramid during construction, so thats why halfway up it changes angles.

    Veterans Day, more accurately known as Armistice Day, is celebrated on November 11, because that is when the Great War to end all wars concluded.

    After the Korean and Vietnam wars, it was renamed Veterans Day.

    "In 1907 he was asked to give an opinion on a proposed libel action by the Lever Brothers against newspapers owned by Lord Northcliffe concerning the latter's allegations of a conspiracy to raise the price of soap by means of a 'soap trust'. He checked into the Savoy and, after working all night reading a pile of papers nearly four feet thick and consuming a bottle of champagne and two dozen oysters, Smith wrote a one-sentence opinion: 'There is no answer to this action in libel, and the damages must be enormous.'"

    Grok replied (after 158 secs!) "Thus, the alignment will remain effective within design tolerances (≈±12 seconds, or 0.05° for millennia but will no longer precisely synchronize after approximately 3,300 years, when the cumulative drift exceeds the structure's precision and the sun's size."

    There are also times when moving kids from event to event means one can't go home and cook a meal, and Mickey D was a low-price alternative.

    That's gone now, because the Ruling Class despises the poor that it claims to treasure.

    I see someone above mentioned some of this, but they set the 11:11:11AM as the mean time to center the alignment on, but built in a 1 minute window for the full spotlight effect. This accounts for the variation over the leap year cycle. Over the leap year cycle, the sun's altitude will vary about 0.27 degrees, and azimuth by 0.02 degrees at the precise 11:11:11 design time. The 1 minute "slop" window covers this variation.

    The time of perfect alignment, when it centers exactly varies from 11:10:58Am to 11:11:22AM over the 4 year leap cycle.

    Also, there is another secondary alignment, when the sun's declination comes back up after the winter solstice where you'll get the same effect, around Feb 1.

    I tried Walmart Plus for a year for $49, for the free shipping. It turns out that the free shippers expect a tip. So it's just as expensive as me driving there myself. Won't renew.

    According to Grok, the drift in the alignment does get significant every leap year. The sun gets a bit too low on Nov. 11 in a leap year, and the best alignment occurs on Nov 10 really. The best alignment is on Nov. 11, first year after a leap year. 2025 is thus a good year, and then 2029 will be the next "zeroing". 2028 will be piss poor.

    Also, not the design life was 100 years. Y2K was the first 400 year cycle where the century year didn't skip a leap. When we skip the leap in 2100, that will be a little hiccup in that alignment as well. :-)

    I didn't come up with the idea myself. I was in the marching band in college and dislocated my knee during a rather generously described "two-hand touch" football game. So I was sidelined on Game Day. A stogie-smoking guy came up to me while I sat on the cart (with my horn, in uniform) and asked if I could play "Taps." Of course! Would I play it for his class on Nov. 11? Sure. How much? I said I didn't need payment, but he said he only used professionals, so I accepted $1.11.

    He was a prof, not just a prof, a university president emeritus - Walter Adams. So at the appointed time, I came into his class, he asked everyone to stand, and I played "Taps." After that, I got into the habit of doing it around campus, and later moved to the Capitol, and finally Veterans Memorial Park. Haven't missed a year yet, but it is depressing watching it go away. Maybe next year I'll try gin up some media coverage.

    Alpert tells the story that he met people in the 1960s and 70s who told him, they loved Whipped Cream & Other Delights. Then they would go on and on... about the cover.

    Herb would ask them, "but what did you think of the music?"

    Guys with e-tools did the first work, digging foxholes that were later deepened and connected.

    By 1918, the continuous lines were a thing of the past. Machineguns had proliferated and having troops packed into firing lines just caused extra casualties. Defense in depth with interlocking fire points was what things looked like in 1918, and once the deadlock was broken, the defensive lines were less developed.

    If retreating, one could have rear-area troops use heavy equipment/actual shovels to prepare positions, but otherwise it was some grunt digging his own grave.

    I don't think it's that simple and I don't think it's all about the food prices. Wendy's also closed hundreds of restaurants in 2024.

    I think it's more cultural. Fast food in general is not what it was when my generation was in our teens and twenties. Drive by any fast food place these days and they just aren't busy like they used to be. Fast food joints are going the way of the mall.

    376 Just a heads-up for astronomically-inclined Morons (and 'Ettes). There is a strong Aurora Borealis going on right now, and its unusual in that a lot of it colored Red, or Rose, if you prefer. Just came in the house from a road trip, and the red part has faded but is still visible as a faint band running from the NW horizon southeasterly to the zenith. Across the southern sky, there is a vague greenish-white band from horizon to horizon. No Moon up yet, but it is light enough outside to walk around and see what's underfoot.

    Problem is minimum wage laws make some think fast-food jobs should have a 'living wage', whatever the fuck that is. The living wage concept is a main driver of minimum wage increases, which leads to inflation and reduced purchasing power for that higher 'living wage'.

    The design life is only 100 years. The slight change in obliquity (earth's tilt) and the slight Gregorian long term drift is insignificant over 100 years. If they want it to keep it going for a few thousand years, however, it will need adjustment.

    Change in tilt has resulted in 3 secs less daylight on the summer solstice here since I was born, and 4 secs more daylight on the winter solstive. Tropics have moved equatorward and arctic circles poleward accordingly over those 58 years.

    The Lakshman GPS compass app is now installed and working. Now I’m working on a way to mount the phone to the radio-direction-finding antenna mast, and when that’s done, I have an automatic azimuthal readout on the direction it’s pointing, instead of just an eyeball estimate.

    I have reached my Android goal, for now. Maybe later on, if I feel like banging my head against a wall for a few solid weeks, who knows, I might even try creating my own app. Using Android Studio without Grok as a guide is near impossible for mere mortals. It’s huge and intricate, with a not-so-intuitive UX. A maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

    I used to be into the RPI but it’s pretty much lost its cost competitiveness.

    You can get a renewed HP deskpro mini i5 with 8gb of ram, 256gb had for less than $150.


    This unit is only slightly bigger than a kitted out rpi and will run rings around it.

    When the i7s were plentiful, I bought 10 of them for around the same price, the supply has dried up and now their cost has risen sharply, which makes the i5 more attractive.

    Even at the higher prices, a fully maxed out i7 makes for a great low end workstation.

    It’s a tough week. I reached out to my brother and he was kind and loving. When dad died, my
    Younger brother was the executor. Not much of an “estate.” But. He took care of everything and wrote the obit and sold everything. Then wrote me a check and gave an itemized receipt of everyrhing.

    He’s a lib. But he’s an honest, good man. And there was NO fighting.

    Blessings to you. I’m sorry your experience was so horrid.

    There’s been speculation on X, someone remembered another C-130 accident where a prop blade came apart in flight, and one struck the fuselage ahead of the wings with enough force that the crew cabin was severed. And then speculated that as the plane began to tumble, the stresses caused the back of the fuselage to break off.

    Cheapest way to go would be to use an arduino nano as a bridge device with the pc, it will get you 99pct of what you need.

    Quick Hits

    The Bee:

    bbtuckerbigfootchemtrails.jpg

    That's only partly a joke -- yes, Tucker Carlson is now a believer in chemtrail conspiracy theories now, too.

    So here's my rule on conspiracy theories:

    I think everyone gets one or two free conspiracy theories. If you don't have any unconventional beliefs, you're kind of boring. You do not have, as Michael Scott said, a "child-like sense of wonder."

    If you have three to five conspiracy theories, then I'd say you have a preference for the fantastical and dramatic and you prefer action-thriller movie plots to pedestrian but much more likely explnations. You like big, bold, often-gibberish theories that are more interesting than dull reality.

    If you believe in six to ten conspiracy theories, well, now I think you're kind of a loon and maybe a bit credulous and low-IQ. Now I think you just believe in conspiracy theories because they're pretty simple.

    But, if like Tucker Carlson, you now believe in ALL OF THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, I don't think you're a loon.

    I think you're a grifter playing the loons for Paranoia Clicks.

    I think I mentioned this once or twice, maybe just in the comments, but I kind of liked Joe Rogan -- I don't really watch him, I just see clips every once in a while -- precisely because he was so open-minded that his brain sometimes falls out. He'll believe anything. Has no working bullshit detector at all, except for the bullshit detector that tells him everything, anything "The establishment" or "conventional medicine" or "leading authorities" tell him must be a lie.

    While I think that's moronic, I also do enjoy being a little irresponsible once in a while. No I do not believe, as frequent Rogan guest Graham Hitchcock (or whatever) claims, that there were world-traveling ancient civilizations that fell and completely disappeared before the earliest known civilizations like Babylon.

    I don't believe that... but I'd kind of like to, because it's a silly Pulp Fiction conceit which, if true, would make the world a more magical, goofier place.

    So I don't mind when people toss around basically-harmless conspiracy theories. The "archeological establishment doesn't want you to know of unknown ancient civlizations that crossed the seas in advanced oceangoing ships and had cultural exchange with each other! They're covering up the evidence because it would be TOO SHOCKING to realize that human civilization once rose and fell and completely vanished from the earth!"

    Nonsense, but fun. And if you believe that, there's not going to be any bad consequences.

    Maybe we didn't have to be so serious all the time and obsessed about the Right Answers but we could sit back, untuck the shirt, unbutton the top button, and just have a nice harmless Bullshit Session.

    So I didn't mind when Tucker Carlson started with the UFO crap. I figured he was doing it for ratings, being some kind of modern-age PT Barnum. And if people believed in flying saucers, so what? And maybe it was some kind of sharp critique on modern media myth-making. Who knows.

    But now Tucker Carlson embraces every paranoia and every primitive subterranean fear and hatred and packages it up for a (largely foreign!) internet audience.

    And now it doesn't seem so funny.

    And now it doesn't seem so harmlessly, friskily irresponsible.

    Now it seems like a very cynical and nasty and greedy operator is peddling fear and hatred to confused and spiritually-lost people looking for answers and oh yeah, the answer is always Israel and Jewish Perfidy.

    Maybe it's time to tuck our shirts back in, because, as usual, nasty, stupid, evil-minded people ruin every party.


    "Mixed" tape?

    Let's just say I got a score high enough that I could put three initials on to the scoreboard.

    33 I rate conspiracy theories by likelihood. My #1 for the JFK hit is that Allen Dulles gave the order in an off-the-books operation.

    JFK had fired CIA director Dulles over the Bay of Pigs fiasco and other sins.

    Dulles had people handling Lee Harvey and Marina. They got him the job at the Texas Book Depository before he arrived in Dallas. Easy to have a real shooter take the shots from the Depository and frame Oswald for it.

    History doesn't repeat but it can rhyme. Dulles wanted a war over Cuba but was thwarted by JFK. LBJ gave him Vietnam.

    41 Not all conspiracy theories are equal. Some are just utterly moronic. The Jewish theories are bad, but, okay, there are a lot of intelligent Jews, so it can be strung together in a plausible plot (if not examined carefully). I find others just mind-numbingly stupid. Owens' insistence that Macron's old lady mom-wife is a man is one. Okay, ha-ha...wait, you're serious?

    Honestly, I feel the same way about the Obama Birther conspiracy. It was so dumb it could only do more damage to those who espoused it. Yes, I know Trump trolled Obama into finally disproving it, but that has a feel of the exception that proves the rule.

    42 I think the term conspiracy theory is too vague and generally gets used as "something the FNM says is wrong"

    So the FNM will conflate all of the following as conspiracy theories:

    White devils stole black people magic energy so they couldn't make more pyramids (stupid)

    "The Jews" control American foreign policy (a broad swath of the public support Israel not just Jews, but not surprisingly including Jews)

    66 I could be convinced that the WEF and billionaires interested in population control went to China, convinced them to let them have a ghost city - the Chinese make work projects - and then took several thousands of homeless, orphans, criminals and experimented on them with the Covid vaccines.

    If they started in the 1990's or so, they'd have a nice idea how long it would take the jabs to kill a large portion of the population which would allow them to plan accordingly.

    78 ~2018, I believed in -0- conspiracy theories. It fact sounding like a conspiracy, was enough to shelve it.

    And then I saw the government conspired against the elected President. And the more clearly I've seen that, I discovered that the only President forced out of office also seems to have been a deep state conspiracy. (Woodward is a spook.)

    I don't know about 9/11. But I have a lot more conspiracies that I'm open to.

    The fact that sounds like a conspiracy theory is that the term "conspiracy theory" was not in popular use until the IC propagated around JFK's assassination.

    95 Chem trails... question mark. But is anyone denying that (Congressional agency) DARPA and some billionaire weather-experimenting start-ups have been firing 'cloud seeding' missiles in the air for years to manipulate the weather? That's pretty public (albeit not broadcast) information. I was in China in the 2000's when it was heftily rumored that China had been experimenting with cloud seeding missiles. I spent a lot of time in Beijing and never saw the sun (just a haze with a glow), much less the mountains where the Great Wall was (from the city). I don't believe for a second that Beijing having super clear sky for the 2008 Olympics and seeing the mountains from the USA vs. whoever baseball game like you'd see the Rockies from Denver was just a natural coincidence... Once you accept that people are firing rockets to create rain clouds etc., the notion of chem trails isn't too far-fetched. Maybe not for mind control (is that the theory?), but weather manipulation... Totally believable IMHO

    That said, flooding the zone with conspiracy theories true and false to confuse and manipulate... That's a psy-op probably not beneath the evil a-holes funding Tucker...

    110 One thing that goes back to the cold war is that what we'd now call conspiracy theories were rife behind the Iron Curtain.

    And the reason was pretty straight forward. Leaders in communist countries lied constantly and endlessly. If you were an average Ivan then how did you know where the lies ended?

    We've seen some of that here in the west were again leaders lie constantly about all sorts of things. If the government can lie about COVID and the COVID shot why not chemtrails?

    Now...there is plenty of information you can get as Average Eddie in America that you couldn't get in the old USSR, so you should be able to establish on your own why chemtrails are silly. BUT as long as political leaders lie about big things with impunity some segment of the population will take the short cut of assuming they are lying about everything

    Most conspiracy theories about the government assume the government can find its ass with both hands.

    You will notice that the various illegal activities that took place during the Biden coup have come to light rather easily, because even if the government can figure out how to do something, they can't figure out how to hide it. They weren't conspiracy theories, just plain old conspiracies, and everyone saw them while they were happening.

    This is the same government that runs the post office.

    Tucker was useful during the Biden and back to Obama admins because he would explore some of the many "cant go there" topics that most of the FNM pretended did not even exist. Now with Elon converting twitter to X and no Biden admin pressuring all media to parrot the commiecrat narrative I guess Tucker is reduced to pushing every conspiracy theory or something. I don't really care, I never followed him directly, only stuff of his that Ace links.

    139 80 ~2018, I believed in -0- conspiracy theories. It fact sounding like a conspiracy, was enough to shelve it.

    And then I saw the government conspired against the elected President. And the more clearly I've seen that, I discovered that the only President forced out of office also seems to have been a deep state conspiracy. (Woodward is a spook.)

    I don't know about 9/11. But I have a lot more conspiracies that I'm open to.

    The fact that sounds like a conspiracy theory is that the term "conspiracy theory" was not in popular use until the IC propagated around JFK's assassination.

    149 I asked the same question that many are , what happened to Carlson? Did research, went back a bunch to see whether he was always like that ? Is it because in the dark days of DEI and Covid any sane utterance in the big media from any talking head was treated as manna and all else was overlooked ? Or did he always have editorial guardrails, even at CNN and PBS , that did not allow him to off the cliff? Looking at the stuff he was saying 8 years ago, I deduced that he was always a wealthy populist, who is the first to be shot by the sans-culottes. An archetype of a condescending prick from liberal college who tosses around lofty ideas he heard from someone else. His metamorphoses into a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood might be tied to the fact that he is not a smart man, but an angry man, who cannot accept responsibility for a loss, a reactive and emotional loser.

    I love reading history, and I've been on an ancient history kick over the past year. It is remarkable how much has changed in just the past 25 years concerning what we know and how we know it from, say, 2,000 years BC to the rise of the Roman Empire. So much has been uncovered and so much published that it nearly puts what I learned in college in the dust.

    We will always find new information. While it is true that there is nothing new under the sun, there's a whole lot we haven't found out yet.

    The most remarkable part about studying history is how little human behavior has changed.

    I meant to post something about that on the ONT the other day. Yep, a paper is out purporting a proof that our universe CANNOT be a simulation. Basically, stuff happens that is not computational.

    It depends on Godel's Theorem, I think and extension of that, along with other principles.

    We cannot be a finite computational simulation. This world and its lunacy is all real, baby. All real!

    People conspire all the time. I'm sure Hillary conspired in some way to score that big commodity trade she made back in the day, meaning that she and the broker made a shady deal. No one has been able to prove it, so is that a conspiracy theory? It doesn't seem to quite arise to it.

    So although I favor tons of little conspiracy theories like that one, I think my big conspiracy theory is the obvious one:

    Some damn lefties sat down ages ago and figured out that they could corrupt this country by getting their ideas into the education system, entertainment, and news media.

    Exactly who they were, what their first steps were, what their method was, that kind of thing, are unknown to me.

    360 30 years is a good run but it also wasn't a conspiracy theory trying to trick people. I also remember my father having the book Ultra Secret when I was a kid which would be early 70's. People knew before the book.
    Posted by: the way I see it

    People can keep secrets for a very long time, it just requires buyin from those keeping the secrets and harsh punishment for those that don't. The Chicago Tribune just about scuttled the cracking of Purple when covering the Midway victory attributing it to codebreaking. They got their fingers stomped in private and the Japanese apparently never found out.

    The hotel over the Greenbriar Hotel in WV was another rumored conspiracy theory that turned out to be true and so on.

    Then there was the Black Hand in Yugo land, and Mafia in Sicily, etc. etc.

    Conspiracy theories is generally what the existing regime calls things that they don't want people to know about rather than the humble factual thesis that may or may not have any evidential truth.

    If there were no government conspiracies how come we know about them? The conspiracy to keep Trump out of power is real, we all know it, and it came about an inch from working. That's just 1.

    I don't think it requires hyper competence when you control the investigatory and prosecutorial agencies and the media and social media. Lots of people just give up because it's hard to beat them but it doesn't mean the conspiracies aren't true and they we don't know about them. Getting justice is a different story.

    I read years ago, can't remember where, about how Obama was groomed from a very early age to be our destroyer. I can't remember the details, but he was rejected by Harvard as a transfer student from Occidental. It was only when some lefty mucky-muck intervened by placing a personal call to some mucky-muck at Harvard and pressuring the shyte out of him to take this wunderkind. Maybe also said "Don't let him flunk out."

    It's DAMN hard to transfer into a school like Harvard, but Obama did it, apparently with a mediocre record. He was the Great Black Hope for lefties from that far back. I'm sure that if someone sat down to trace his career, they'd find hidden helping hands at all points, steering him to undeserved victories and picking his wingmen for him.

It’s sad that recent observations of 3000 type Ia supernovae give a 5.5 standard deviation result that the earlier work was wrong, and the universe is not, just now, beginning a runaway accelerated expansion. I always doubt that just now is a special time, just like Ptolemaic theories held that right here is a special place. I call it temporal Ptolemaicism, and my doubts rise accordingly.

    I'm pretty in tune with various insect infestations due to a lot of fruit trees. I keep track of volume etc. And, the comparison last year to year was like night and day for Spotted Lantern Flies. They are a hardy breed that isn't going to tone things down just based on weather patterns. So, I think there was unadvertised spraying taking place. My neighbor runs a Vineyard, and he's come to the same conclusion.

    So, no on chemtrails....and yes on sneaky government programs "for the better of people" that should be a hell of a lot more transparent.

    You don't have to prove negatives. And then, define "simulation", to even have a start. If something is taken as belonging to the world of "Proof", it needs testable definitions. Not just extrapolations of ideas.

    We know how Grand Theft Auto simulates the physics of our world. But there are obvious limitations to that level of "simulation".

    And really, if you get "simulation", why can't we go back to Berkeley's idea that things are held in common because of the Mind of God?

    Because "computers" sound more real and Sciencey than a regulating mind.

    411 The "Simulation Theory" sounds like it's kinda-sorta hard. But it fails in terminology at first blush: simulation of what?!.

    The way it presupposes the reasonableness of levels of "simulation" like an infinite number of clerical monkeys.

    Although it's reasonable to speculate the non-specialness of human life--it's something almost completely un-evidenced.
    Posted by: Axeman at November 11, 2025 06:27 PM (krQz2)

    Simulation Theory or Disproving it is just malarkey. If its complex enough it could be made and started running we couldn't tell. And we can't rule it out either. Its just sophomoric crap to justify a publication on the CV.

    Asimov wrote a story "The Last Question" about computers being given the task to reverse entropy and after billions of years and improvements the answer is "Let There Be Light" out of the bible.

    Much science has degraded these last decades to dumb theory variants that can't be proven, talk of knowing everything to the first billionth of a second since the big bang that have been invalidated massively by new telescopes. I'm tired of it.

    You just have to hide and confuse things long enough for people to stop caring, or there is something big enough to take away any need to find out about it.

    In 1916 the Rockefeller Institute was trying to get some understanding of Polio in a lab in NYC by a procedure of "serial transmission" in monkeys. Surprisingly enough a polio epidemic broke out in Brookland causing a panic in the people in NYC and in the US. All this was concealed by dramatic public health actions, and lots and lots of panic.

    This makes me wonder if the Rockefeller Institute had been doing any work for the US Army near or about Fort Riley at the outset of the first world war.

    430 Gen. Curtis LeMay gets unfairly characterized as a psychotic “bomb ‘em back to the stone age” kinda guy (he never actually said that, go figure) and was in part the character based in Dr. Strangelove aka General Jack D. Ripper iirc.

    LeMay figured the Cuban Missile crisis was an opportunity to get rid of Castro, and he was probably correct.

    His “philosophy” was, that going to war is a very serious matter and should not be taken lightly. However if that decision is made, then there is no half stepping or “limited war” like the Whiz Kids and McNamara thought they could do. Hit ‘em with everything you got. “Stop swatting flies, and go after the manure pile” was his advice about Viet Nam. He saw the same problems in the Korean war.

    He was a very intelligent individual, and completely mischaracterized by the Press, and Academia.

It’s sad that recent observations of 3000 type Ia supernovae give a 5.5 standard deviation result that the earlier work was wrong, and the universe is not, just now, beginning a runaway accelerated expansion.

    Can we just accept the baby step away that maybe matter in motion doesn't "explain" the universe?

    If you believe that both things are "possible"--or more accurately is it undecided which is the case--your're just stating which models you have allegiance to. And that the materialness of computers is simply your seduction into accepting that cases exist that the everything is more than matter in motion.

    496 >> From what I recall the CC was a factor Einstein tried to use to negate the expansion of the universe which he didn't like

    The CC (capital Lambda) was a fudge factor Einstein put in to cancel gravity at cosmological scales and allow for a *static* universe. Back in 1916, it's easy to forget, it was before Hubble. The true size and nature of the universe, with galaxies flying away was unknown at the time. What we now know as galaxies, like our close neighbor Andromeda, were dubbed "nebula".

    Einstein called Lambda his greatest blunder, as he could have *predicted the expansion of the universe* via General Relativity decades before Hubble. It sat on the shelf, never a part of any cosmological EFE spacetime solutions until the purported accelerating expansion was discovered.

    As mentioned above, there are now observations that call into question that accelerating expansion, which will be a total game changer -- again! -- if they pan out.

    501 Ok, but what happens when you take an objective, intellectually honest approach to a conspiracy theory and realize the theorists were right? You then have to put your ego aside and admit that you are not one of the despised conspiracy theorists, but you have no choice because the truth is the truth.

    And then that one theory unravels many conventional assumptions you've been told. It becomes an umbrella that contains a whole lot of other connected conspiracy theories. Then you're like "Everyone will think I'm a crackpot but I cannot unsee what I've seen."

    Then you try to show friends and family the complicated body of evidence but they're not having it because they have no interest in taking a walk on the wild side into truth-land that will leave them a hated conspiracy lepper. They are too scared to know the truth because of what it will turn them into.

    This is what happened to me. As ridiculous as the theory was, and the solid evidence that supported it, I had to humbly admit that I had previously been intellectually dishonest and the crackpots were right.

    530 As I understand it, only a fraction of particles' mass is actually due to the mass of the particles. Most of the mass is provided to it by interaction, via the now famous Higgs boson, with the Higgs field.

    Not quite. Most of the mass of stable composites like nuclei (and to a lesser extent, atoms), comes from the binding energy of the strong force between the particles, rather than the mass of the particles themselves (which does comes from the Higgs mechanism).

    Yes, it's sort of hard to believe it's only been about 100 years for the universe as we know it today was known.

    There's an argument that if Einstein had stepped out and predicted expansion via what's basically known now as the basic FLRW equations, that would've been way too radical at the time -- they might have laughed it off, and not gone on to try to verify some of the less radical predictions (gravitational lensing of late, which Eddington verified famously during the 1919 eclipse).

    If the answer is "there is no proof that will sway me" then you can be assured that it is an article of faith, and has nothing to do with science

    Wild-side thinking is "if this were true, what would it indicate in the rest of the field" but most people won't go there because that makes the earth shift beneath their feet, and most people need that security.

    "Completely simulate environment X" is almost certainly a super-Turing computation.

    So you need the computation power that machines can't do and requires intervention of a human-like mind. Which wouldn't likely be super-Turing if it was a machine with regular parameters. So you need software generated by a intervening agent.

    The only reason that compels us to believe that extra-Turing computation is possible, is that it is undecidable whether human computation is reducible to a Turing model.

    However, the only fully-comprehensible models of computation we have are Turing compatible.

    That's one of the difficulties of saying our awareness emerges out of machine-like regularity. Which was a problem unaddressed by matter in motion.

    If you take the EFE (Einstein Field Equations) of GR, you can move the Lambda term to the right, and note, hey this looks like a source term. That's dark energy.

    But the other view is, it's just geometry, a feature of spacetime. Empty spacetime is deSitter, not Minkowski.

    But playing around with the idea of dark energy, some strange form of matter, you can do far more with it, the equation of state, than a mere constant term multiplying the metric tensor. It can be real stuff that does more strange things that a mere cosmological constant. The current view of dark energy is the latter, it's some sort of real stuff that behaves like Lambda.

    617 You're not going to get the chemtrail conspiracy genie back in the bottle now that several governments have fessed up to cloud seeding, and Canada was busted spraying roundup and other broad spectrum plant killers from planes over their eastern forests coinciding with their "you can't go into the wooooods!" panic.

    Remains to be seen whether America's hat was doing that to facilitate timber harvesting, or just plain wanted to (literally) watch the world burn, or some other stupid milk-in-a-bag reason.

    There is some really wild deposits of frozen mangled megafauna in the permafrost, up north. Entire herds all wiped out in a single go.

    IIRC they are up to evidence of several impacts (3+?) the the YDB stuff, and think it was a comet that had broken up associated with the Taurids.

    There are also some cool instances of dead critters in the permafrost from another time period that have microscopic evidence of supernova cosmic ray impacts in them, also

    There were several recent papers showing shocked quartz at the YDB layer. I'm pretty convinced it happened. Now my synthesis of what I've read so far, with possible errors and misinterpretations is thus:

    There was a big comet that came through and broke up, and that's the progenitor of current comet Encke and the Taurid stream. It broke up, and Earth, lo so 12,000 years ago, plowed right into the debris stream. We got a shotgun blast of low density icy impacts. Now that could've been stretched out, multiple passes through that debris stream, or all at once.

    Assuming the clips were less forgiving than the full-length interview because of the laws of the internet, I listened to the whole thing. Come to find out: it's actually worse than the clips. It's really bad. I honestly can't deal with it.

    The reporter's whole vibe was kind of: BuzzFeed nark in little white sneakers crossed with your best friend's mom who's not really authorized to discipline you but is mad at you for something that you did?

    She front-loaded just about every question with an accusation ("context") and raised eyebrows that betrayed the feelings she wouldn't say out loud....


    Katherine replied: given stuff like Euphoria (which doesn't take a moral stance on the different problems it explores, like teen drug use), Sydney's career doesn't look very political. And yet: "you have become very swept up in politics. And so I wondered if that has surprised you, as you put your ideas and yourself into art, not commentary."

    *this was the first among many times in the interview that Sydney had to process the different levels of fuckery in the question with her face muscles*

    "I've always believed that I'm not here to tell people what to think," she said. "I'm just here to kind of open their eyes to different ideas. And so I think that's why I gravitate towards characters and stories that are complicated and are maybe morally questionable and characters that are, on the page, hard to like, but then you find the humanity underneath them."

    After sort of affirming (?) the idea of artists keeping themselves "a little bit" separate from politics, Katherine moved on to the cultural obsession with Sydney reaching a kind of climax: "Did your sense of your own fame change this year?"

    (First of all, what?)

    Cue Sydney's extremely sane answer:

    "No. I surround myself with a really, really strong group of people who have been in my life since I was little. And they take me out of Hollywood, take me out of this bubble, and remind me what the real world is. And that that's where I exist. The idea of fame -- it doesn't apply to my personal life. I'm just Syd."

    "You can't feel the difference in the volume at times?"

    "If I turn on my phone, yes. If I have my phone off, and I'm home, no."

    "So what is it like now being single?"

    Lol. You may not see how that is a natural follow-up question, but Katherine sure did. After Sydney produced and starred in the rom-com Anyone But You, she played a "game" of letting rumors fly about a romance with Glen Powell, her co-star, Katherine asserted.

    "We all now know that that was a projection, let's say, on our parts -- that wasn't real. But it occurred to me that maybe that story doesn't go so viral if you're not a very private person," Katherine said. "I imagine there are personal benefits to being private about your personal life, but are there also professional benefits to being private about your personal life?"

    Wow, so, the question was roughly: is Sydney really private, or is she just pretending to be, such that the secrecy makes her even more rich and powerful?

    *facial processing*

    "The professional benefits for me and being private -- is for my own just health and sanity. If I let everybody in all the time, I have nothing for myself." She's just 28 years old, Sydney said; she's still going to make mistakes and grow. "And I think that it's important to be able to do that without having to say every single thing all the time."

    "Right. Okay."

    Lol.

    "I don't really let other people define who I am," Sydney said.

    "I'm happy to hear that. I have a lot of secondhand concern for you lately," Katherine said while fake laughing. "We're sort of talking around this American Eagle ad right now."

    Aha.

    The whole piece is good. I don't want to excerpt more.

    Sydney Sweeney's small movie, Christy, about a female boxer with an abusive husband/coach, did poorly at the box office, but...

    1, it's a small-budget movie about a niche figure. Who expected it to break records?

    2, almost every movie is bombing now, including the much bigger box office and much-promoted love letter to Antifa bombers starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

    3, this was plainly a passion project for Sydney Sweeney, one she probably only got made by agreeing to do some more commercial fare. Again, how much do we expect passion -- or vanity -- projects to make?

    Christian Toto says we should support it, as she's a culture war icon.

    I don't even know if she's "on the right." I watched her movie Immaculate, about a virgin nun becoming pregnant and being celebrated by creepy members of a Catholic church as the New Madonna. It's a halfway competently made movie, with a semi-"clever" gimmick to set it apart from Rosemary's Baby, but... did you see it?

    It's the most egregiously anti-Christian and stridently pro-abortion commercial movie I've ever seen. I mean, I'm not much of a Christian and I'm an abortion moderate and even I was like, "What the hell is this nasty propaganda?"

    I don't even want to tell you the ending. It's... it goes as far as you could possibly go in a pro-abortion, anti-Christ direction.

    Remember Mac's joke headline in the Always Sunny abortion episode? "What if they aborted Jesus?" It's along those lines.

    And she's in charge of her career. She picked this film to make.

    I don't want to jump on her because I kind of like her but this is not a right-wing culture warrior. I'll praise her for not wading into political issues outside of her actual art, and I will definitely give her props for mogging a femcel CHUD, but I'm not going to hail her as a MAGA spokesmodel.

    Eh. If she refunds the $7 I spent to buy the movie, maybe I'll buy a matinee ticket to Cristy.

    I'm not going to see a feminist empowerment lady-boxer movie -- a sort of movie I have no interest in -- just to put money in the pockets of someone who made more money by age 20 than I've made in 20 years.


    Eh. I already supported Matt Walsh, despite finding him to be tedious and annoying. I don't know how much money I have to spend on Culture War Bonds, as the now-insane Ya Boy Zack says.

    Isn't "supporting" movies for identity-politics and political reasons a left-wing thing?

    Gay entertainment zine The Hollywood Reporter:


    In the new film Predator: Badlands, a young Predator monster, Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), is bullied by his domineering father for being too small and weak, learns important lessons about the value of sensitivity, and meets two feisty women (one a robot, the other an alien) who will become his besties for life. He might as well audition for the school musical. Or move to New York City at the end.

    That's the joke a friend and I made as we walked out of Dan Trachtenberg's surprisingly soft-hearted addition to the Predator canon, a movie that pushes its franchise mythology in a decidedly sweet direction. Some viewers might miss the macho brutality of Predators past, but Dek's adventures in self-confidence and chosen family may well satisfy plenty of others. This Predator is queer and we should say it.

    Meanwhile: Billy Bob Thornton says he's tired of know-nothing celebrities pontificating about every political and cultural issue.

    Yup. This is the "Left Pole" problem.

    If you're standing on the North Pole, any direction you move is south, at least for a moment. Pick any point and take a step, you just moved south. It's an absolute reference.

    The Left Pole is same thing. Any direction you step, you're Literally Hitler. Unlike the North Pole, though, the Left Pole moves rapidly and you can up being Literally Hitler just by standing still. Ask JK Rowling about that.

    why didn't she become a major star? I think it's because she's too overtly beautiful and so women don't like her in female-led movies, so she can only be the love interest in male-led movies.

    She was (is) stunning.

    I saw the Rocketeer with my friend and his girlfriend and after the movie his girlfriend said, "Who was that actress? She had HUGE breasts!"

    Her dramatic turn were not a good fit. We want to see hot chicks being happy, not miserable. "A Beautiful Mind" made everyone feel sorry for her, not a great look.

    She is what *everyone* remembers from "The Rocketeer." You can't discuss that movie without her smoking hotness being a big part of the discussion.

    those stupid pop culture YouTube channels ALWAYS have her picture up from Dark City, and (because the image is small) I don't know who this beautiful woman is, so I click on it, and I'm like "Oh, Dark City for the 20th time, you got me again."

    Not that I object to Dark City. Just that any "10 underrated sci fi movies" video will use her picture as a torchsong singer to suck you in.

    Is it underrated? I don't recall what its box office was, but it had a decent cast overall and people like it.

    Sutherland and Sewell chew on the scenery and she's there to hold it all together, and also to look hot.

    Too many actresses think that they can be Bette Davis and play queen bitches for awards, but Davis was also clever and witty in those roles, not just a pain in the ass.

    She got an Oscar in A Beautiful Mind the next year; so her career did just fine after Requiem, I'd say.
    Or at least other factors were at play, probably just aging out. Older actresses can find roles, and sometimes even good roles (Aniston in Horrible Bosses, Streep in Prada, Dench in everything) but it's harder.

    Eh, we saw "Predator:Badlands" and it's about as queer as Terminator 2, which I suspect was a big influence.

    The P:B story is that he is the runt of the litter and runts get the ax in Predator culture. His brother saves him from getting killed by his father. And the young Pred zips off to kill the most dangerous animal to prove his worth.

    This movie makes the Predator "more human" in the same way that T-2 did the killer robot.

    Is it a great movie? No.

    Is it entertaining? Yes, very much so.

    Is it teh ghey? Nope. But, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a gay zine tries to assign teh ghey where there is none.

    310 Appreciate the link above.

    I'm not sold-sold on supporting Sweeney, but I'm exhausted by conservatives A. complaining about far-Left Hollywood and pop culture and B. Doing zip-zero-nada about it.

    When we finally get a film that speaks to our values we rarely support it en masse ("Sound of Freedom" was glorious exception). Sweeney stared down the woke mob for months over the jeans ad. Imagine the pressure to comply, to give in and say, "OK, I screwed up ... I'll be an ally," was INTENSE.

    And she didn't. She seems sane. She's not political but that took guts, and it gives courage to others to also speak their minds without adhering to the progressive script....

    313 I forget what movie she was promoting, but one of the reporters asked if it was true that Sydney invited her grandmother to the Debut opening, even considering the fact that one of the most significant things about it was that sydney spent so much time naked. And she admitted, "I really forgot all about that, I thought she would be more concerned about the content." The interviewer said, "And was she? what did she say?" and Sydney said, "She said right now I have the best tits in hollywood."

    That, is LIKELY A FACT.

    To Honor Veterans Day, the Repulsive Traitor Media Launches a Military-Cemetery Race Hoax


    Wait, another race hoax? Didn't we just have a race hoax? The black student who was "lynched" by white supremacists at a black college?

    Except there was videotape showing him hanging himself? And his roommate immediately went out to the press and said, "no, he wasn't lynched, he's been suicidal for months"?

    Oh well, this is a brand-new race hoax. Hope you like it!

    It's MAGA Country in the graveyard!

    It's, get this, completely untrue.

    @MichaelARothman:

    Newsweek blasted out a headline implying the Trump administration "quietly removed a memorial" for Black WWII soldiers.

    But -- shocker -- when you scroll all the way down, buried under piles of narrative-fluff, they finally admit the truth:

    𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.

    𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 "𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥."

    𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩.

    That's it. That's the scandal.

    They manufactured a racial outrage story out of a museum rotation schedule.

    And they were counting on people not reading past the headline -- because that's how the media plays the game.

    𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 -- 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 "𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐬."

    And if you still trust the press at face value after stunts like this... you're not paying attention.

    You don't hate the media enough.

    So it's a temporary exhibit, as all museums have. Sometimes it's on display, sometimes it's not. Sometimes, get this -- other people get honored with a display.

    The left just lies and lies and lies and then gets hired by the government to deplatform people for "dangerous misinformation."


    (BTW, when I was about 25, someone read a piece I'd written and questioned my spelling of cemetary or whatever. He told me, and I still have to remind myself of this to this day: "There is no a in cemetery." Now I just remember it's eeeasy to spell cemetery because it's all-Ease. Except at the end there. But no one would think it ends in an e.)

    There's also a chance that more queer characters could be slashed before the end of the year as additional cancellations are announced....The rollback comes amid a huge dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the country. "

    I had great fun at University in class pointing out what wankers they were about it. I related the anecdote about how maintenance turned a UH60 BlackHawk into a lowrider on the flightline for a certain CW4 Gonzales before he came out for a preflight inspection, with fuzzy dice and all sorts of “culturally specific” accoutrements and regalia. He thought it was hilarious. My point was to illustrate that we can learn to not take ourselves too seriously.

    The leftists can’t deal with that. At all. The last thing they want is a Rainbow Coalition that’s Really Tired of Your Shit

    328 This story may not be accurate, but the reason it’s catching attention is because under the current regime it’s a lot more plausible.
    ——-

    In the 1980s a black guy in Iowa City, Iowa (people’s republic of Johnson county) claimed nazis painted swastikas on his Mercedez-Benz. In Iowa City, Iowa.

    The usual gnashing of teeth, by the usual suspects in a college town ensued. Candlelight Vigils. Strongly Worded Editorials. The whole bit.

    Then it quietly emerged that Mr. Black Guy painted the swastikas on his Mercedes-Benz hisself. He was ratted out by a consortium of various local car painting firms, he had been shopping for a repaint for a few weeks and didn’t like the quotes he was receiving. Some sort of Insurance scam.

    The Narrative then changed to “Well - it COULD have happened - And That’s Just As Bad You Guys!”

    An older gentleman was out for a walk when two young schoolgirls asked if he'd escort them past the graveyard.

    He kindly agrees and they walk along giggling about how it's silly and childish that they still feel so scared when they pass.

    He chuckles and tells them "It's nothing to be ashamed of. I was also kind of scared every time I walked past back when I was alive"

    Trump Pardons 77 American Citizens Unjustly Targeted by the Fully Weaponized Deep State

    Good.

    The same people whining that prosecuting James Comey for his long, sustained career of perjuring himself before Congress is "politically vindictive" are the exact same people demanding that run of the mill protesters and their lawyers be jailed for dissent.

    These people were part of the "alternative electors" scheme -- a legal theory which may well be doubtful, but it has never been illegal, until now, to attempt a doubtful legal theory.

    Margot Cleveland for The Federalist:


    President Donald Trump pardoned 77 U.S. citizens targeted by Democrat attorneys general for their participation in alternative elector efforts and challenges to 2020 presidential election vulnerabilities. A memo obtained exclusively by The Federalist explains the theory behind the presidential pardons issued to defendants charged with various violations of state criminal law -- a novel theory but one that corners the Democrats behind the weaponization of the criminal justice system.

    On Friday, the Trump Administration began contacting the scores of Republicans still facing criminal charges in a handful of blue states for their service as alternative electors -- or connection to the alternative electors -- conveying the president's decision to pardon them. The official pardon provides that "the President grant[s] a full, complete, and unconditional pardon for all conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors, whether or not recognized by any state or state official, in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election."

    President Trump's pardon adopts the recommendation the Office of U.S. Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin provided in a 15-page memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. In that memorandum, Martin detailed the numerous illegal changes to election laws that proceeded the 2020 presidential election, stressing that "[l]awsuits brought to challenge the unconstitutional changes to election laws, procedural violations, ineligible voters, and election irregularities were dismissed by courts on technical and procedural grounds rather than being fully adjudicated on the merits."

    To preserve those legal challenges, the Republican electors in the contested states met and cast votes as alternative electors for Donald Trump, transmitting those results to Congress consistent with, as the memo explained, "core Article II and Twelfth Amendment federal functions." Martin's memorandum further explained:


    Those actions were taken based on sound historical and legal precedent, and ensured that legislatures in the Challenged States could select the rightful winner of the Election in the event the legislatures or the courts determined there had been a flawed calculation of votes or an unconstitutional deviation from state election law resulting in the wrong electoral votes being counted.

    Martin, of course, is right, as The Federalist detailed in "The Left's 2020 'Fake Electors' Narrative Is Fake News." As The Federalist reported and as Martin also explained in his memorandum, the Trump campaign's submission of alternative electors mirrored the process the Kennedy campaign used in 1960 after the acting governor of Hawaii certified the Republican electors to Nixon. There, as in Trump's case, Kennedy had filed a challenge to the results in state court, and accordingly Democrats certified three alternative electors to cast their ballots for Kennedy in the event the court ruled in his favor.

    Two of the three Democrat electors were retired federal judges and yet they certified -- as did the Trump alternative electors -- that they were "duly and legally qualified and appointed" electors for Kennedy. The Democrats further certified "the votes of the state of Hawaii" were given to Kennedy. Kennedy later prevailed in his legal challenge, with his alternative electors then casting their votes in his favor.

    Notwithstanding the clear precedent for using alternative electors, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, with then-Attorney General Merrick Garland's explicit approval, launched a criminal investigation into Donald Trump, his lawyers, and the alternate electors based on the supposed "fraudulent certificates of electors' votes [] submitted to the Archivist of the United States" for Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Whistleblowers have since revealed "that the FBI wasn't merely targeting Trump or a few high-level officials, but potentially more than 150 individuals."

    Read the whole thing.

    Speaking of the Rigged and Fraudulent Election of 2020, aka "The Most Secure (and 'Fortified') Election In History of Mankind" -- the Supreme Court will finally take up the minor little matter of 30 blue (or purple states) illegally and unconstitutionally counting votes invalidly cast after Election Day.

    This is no quibble about a date on a calendar -- the Constitution itself specifies that votes for office will be held on a specific Election Day.

    And during the "Most Secure (and 'Fortified') Election in the History of Mankind," states controlled by Democrats at the time, whether they be blue or purple, all counted tens of thousands of improper votes, including undated votes and votes clearly cast after the Constitutionally-sanctioned Election Day.

    The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting ballots that arrive after Election Day.

    President Donald Trump has long railed against mail-in voting and has argued that allowing ballots to be counted after Election Day creates opportunities for fraud. He's claimed that the practice undermines voter confidence by making it impossible to quickly announce final results.

    However, the laws of about 30 states authorize counting mail-in ballots after Election Day, with officials contending that the grace period aids voters -- including military personnel -- whose ballots are delayed for reasons outside their control.

    The Supreme Court announced in a routine order list Monday that it will grant review in challenges the Republican National Committee and the Mississippi Libertarian Party filed against that state's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrive within five business days after the election.

    The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the challengers and struck down the Mississippi law last year, holding that it is at odds with a trio of federal laws establishing a uniform, nationwide day for voting in federal elections.

    In June, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, a Republican, asked the Supreme Court to take up the issue, arguing that the federal appeals court's decision will have "destabilizing nationwide ramifications."

    They always dishonestly use an exceptional circumstance to make a normative, general rule.

    Military personnel are overseas at the direction, which they cannot legally refuse, of the government. They are at the whim of logistics and chance when it comes to posting their mail-in ballots.

    A special rule can acknowledge that military ballots, and only military ballots, are deemed to have been cast and received by Election Day without granting every Democrat operator in the country a free five-day "grace period" after the election to harvest ballots from homeless people and dementia patients dying in hospitals to overturn the results of an election already decided.

    Meanwhile, Jake Tapper -- who is both a Noted Excoriator of Election-Deniers, as well as being a well-compensated Election-Denier himself, has never before witnessed such authoritarian affrontery.

    Brace yourselves -- SJW dweeb, six-time undisputed world champion at DM Griefing, and ambiguously-gendered Democrat chair-sniffer Jake Tapper is offended!

    Again!

    Six times this week alone!

    Can you believe Lara Trump said that Joe Biden was showing signs of cognitive decline?! What a viciously insightful utterance!

    Jake Tapper just can't even with all this!

    And that then it is very likely that is all of the "proof" all the left is citing to, that is, "the BBC put this out and they are respectable and would never, ever lie!!"
    And that even the J6 Committee is basically based entirely on this lie.

I' would cast 2 ballots, except...trump. I wouldn't normally bend the rules...but trump.

    And, to arrive at those dismissals, the courts disregarded lots of their prior rulings, which had granted Democrats standing for the exact same complaints.

    82 > voting should require ID

    Friends from other countries are always amazed to learn that you can vote without an ID in many areas of the United States.


    I love the way they always trot out 102-year-old Grandma Minnie Johnson, who's lived in the same town her whole life, and has "never needed an ID", crying about what a tragedy it would be if she wasn't able to vote (and by "she" I mean "the SEIU thug 'caregiver' who forges ballots for her and the other 150 residents of her nursing home, while taking a break from stealing their medication and jewelry).

    Here's an idea: rather than screaming and filing lawsuits, how about you take Minnie down to the DMV and get her a fucking ID? Oh, right: because that would deprive you of a victim.

    If she's able to get Medicare/Social Security/Medicaid (which she is... that nursing home isn't paying for itself), she has enough documentation to get a state ID.

    Mail in ballotin is supposed to make it easier for people to vote, and thus have more turnout... even though it destroys any chance of an actual recount, or verification of the person voting.

    Yet, in the recent Prop 50 crap, even with EVERY voter being sent a ballot in the mail... and all you had to do was fill in a box and put it back in the mail...

    Voter count was only about 33% (8 million) on election day... it's now somehow moved to 10 million of the 23 million Calif Registered voters.

    Subsidy = TAX dollars.

    You can't look at the Democrat party as a standard political party any more. They are, merely, a collection of radical niche groups. Some of these niche groups are diametrically opposed to each other. The easiest example is Gays and Muslims. So they need to create a narrative that all the niche groups can share if they are to create a large voting block.

    Enter the Trump Derangement Syndrome. And, since that is the only unifying topic in town (abortion was unreliable) they embellish, shape, and employ outright dishonesty to strengthen the narrative. They will go so far as to change word definitions (Socialist, Communist, Fascist) to hold that line. The amusing thing is that some of these radical niches (Trans, Socialist etc) are so vociferous that they insist on their own single issue taking precedent, and that exposes the radical nature of the party as a whole.

    Every lawsuit alleging voter disenfranchisement has never actually had a plaintiff who was actually denied the right to vote.

    It is never "was denied" but is always someone somewhere might suffer an "unfair burden."
    Never, "I tried to vote and was denied."

    Think about that: It's all illegal rulings because courts are forbidden from issuing advisory opinions--and that's what an opinion based on speculative harm is.

    Note: the recent SCOTUS is getting very terse about lower courts speculating about the potential harm to plaintiffs.

    I ordered something a while back. It originated in Laredo, TX. From there, it went to Kansas, spent 2 days up there, then went to Coppell, TX to the sorting facility there. From there, it went to Ft. Worth, TX for a day, only to be sent back to Coppell, then sent to my town's post office, which is 30 miles north of Dallas and only about 15 from the Coppell sorting center.

    You can almost make it make sense. The people who get trained to kill people on behalf of whoever's in charge don't get to say who gets to be in charge.

    271 I submitted my vote in 1996, while I was in transit to Okinawa while in service of the USMC, I don't know if I ever mentioned that I was a Marine at one time.

    Something that actually happened, I don't know how many people have experienced it, but I filed too late, so my vote was rejected, While in The Marine Corps, If I hadn't mentioned. and what happened almost immediately after the election? I recieved a letter telling me my vote had been rejected.

    Is that a special thing only military get? I could have confirmed it, but the election was done. Or does everyone get a notice of rejection during absentee voting? Or is it that everyone that isn't military get to just vote willy nilly?

    Jimmy Kimmel's Nasty Wife: I Disassociated From Family Members As if I Were Programmed by a Cult Over Them Refusing to Match My Hysterical Anti-Trump Energy

    Jimmy Kimel's Whatever-the-Opposite-of-a-Trophy-Wife is does not admit she is mentally unstable, but she makes several key psychiatric admissions that could support a diagnosis of mental illness:

    * "When Donald Trump was first elected, I was so upset, I mean, we all were"

    * She admits she is "angry all the time" and understands that this "isn't healthy, at all"

    * She says she feels "a little bit of sympathy" for people in her family who are conservative, claiming that they are being "deliberately misinformed everyday," while she says she has all the real facts at her fingertips

    * She says that family members believing things other than what she does "hurts me so much"

    * She further shows a possible Narcissistic Personality Disorder by asserting that everything is about her: When her family members vote for Trump, she claims, they are "voting against" her fat husband and his stupid show (which I believe she produces -- so she's a nepo baby)

    * She says this is not about "Democrat versus Republican" but about "family values" as she freely admits -- brags, actually -- about "having lost relationships with members of my family"

    * She says she's "immediately mad" at "certain aunts, uncles, cousins" when she reads left-wing media ragebait stories, saying that she gets "really angry" and then she dashes "many emails" collecting the ragebait stories and telling them "here are ten reasons not to vote for Trump." She then says that "ninety percent" of these family members ignore her -- gee, wonder why -- but, worse yet, some of them actually respond with "insane responses." Which, between you and me, are just telling her she's wrong.

    * She says "I hate that this has happened," as if her own boxwine-fueld midnight nastygrams to family members have noting to do with her estrangement from family members


    * She says she is "in constant conflict" (with family members, I assume" and that "it's really hard"

    * Finally, she admits to her cult-mentality by saying "I wish I could deprogram myself in some way, but I get, I get really angry"

    These are real quotes. I may have missed a word here or there but this is all real. She is going on podcasts with her Unfunny TV Clown Chubby Hubby and confessing that she is a deeply mentally disturbed woman, and, for some reason, proud of it.

    I mean, seriously, there is so much psychiatric cud to chew over in just three minutes that one can only imagine what an entire fifty-minute hour of psychological counseling would stir up.

    Kirsten Fleming at the NY Post:

    Jimmy Kimmel's wife has a very healthy way of dealing with family members who don't share her political persuasion.

    When our president does something she doesn't like, Molly McNearney gets angry at her "aunts, uncles and cousins" who helped put him in office -- and hectors them with anti-Trump emails.

    Shockingly, this has led to some "lost relationships."

    Speaking on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast, Molly McNearney complained about family members who voted for President Trump because it was "them not voting for my husband and me and our family."

    But deep down, McNearney, who is also her husband's executive producer for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," even knows she's the one who has lost the plot.

    "I wish I could deprogram myself in some way," she said recently on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast.

    So why doesn't she go ahead and do it? Reboot the machine and upload a new operating system. Cut back on politics instead of cutting off her right-leaning loved ones.

    After all, McNearney's displeasure with her relatives, she insists, is not just politics -- it's about "values."

    Yet when she explains the rifts, she reveals that she values politics -- and fealty to her husband -- over blood and free thinking. Hmmmm.


    "It hurts me so much ... my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family," she said.

    "And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it."

    McNearney has somehow deluded herself into believing that her husband, whose literal job is to be a clown on late-night television and make America laugh at the end of a hard day, is now the unelected leader of the Trump resistance.

    This is a serious national health crisis, and no one says anything about it, because almost all of the expErTs we should all TrUsT are all suffering from the same ten-year-nervous breakdown and insisting that it's perfectly normal.

    The second it looks like it'll happen.

    For about five minutes in 2019, we started getting the "Trump was bad, but DeSantis is worse," articles when people had talked themselves into thinking DeSantis had a chance in the primary.

    That narrative will just reform, giving strange new respect to the previous Literally Hitler.

    TDS, though, has an extra layer, infused with feminine energy that's fairly specifically a reaction to Trump himself. That extra layer probably won't survive Trump no longer being the center of the political universe.

    And it was fine. We talked about work, the weather, and of course sportsball. Until the cow-worker, a woman named, I kid you not, "Echo", decided she had to get into the latest leftwing freakout.

    I'm pretty good at avoiding politics because I've lived among leftists for a long time, but she would not let it go. And our fun night out became a stupid political argument...she didn't want to talk about the actual issue but...psychoanalyze me for not agreeing with her.

    And this is long before Trump.

They were rabid Hillary supporters and hated that we voted for him. They also don't speak to his sisters, because, we don't know why. I tell people now I only have 2 daughters, no son. Its been 9 years so I don't think its going to change.

    150 61 55- it would be interesting to see the left’s pivot if Jeb somehow got the nomination. How long before he’s Hitler and worse than Trump?
    Posted by: Farmer Bob at November 11, 2025 01:30 PM (hlNLQ)

    Not long, McCain was the left's favorite, back in 2000 they were all wistfully wishing that he had been the nominee instead of Bush, who was Hitler before Trump.. They spent 7 or 8 years kissing his ass, and IIRC it was the day after super Tuesday in 2008, or whatever day McCain secured the nomination that Rush Limbaugh spent the first hour of his show a New York Times article that had done the 180 pivot on McCain.

    Then Romney was really Hitler this time, trust me!

    And then Trump was and is Hitler, which I know we said last time, but this time it's rlly RLLY true!

    And if its Vance, or Rubio or Desantis or even Jeb, it will be Serious You Guys, Trump was bad but he was like a loose cannon, Vance/Rubio/Desantis is more organized and disciplined and therefore more dangerous!

    Brand New Bridge in China Collapses Months After Opening
    A newly built bridge in China’s southwestern Sichuan province collapsed just months after opening following a series of warnings about cracks and shifting ground nearby. The 758-meter-long Hongqi Bridge, part of a national highway linking China’s interior to Tibet, was closed to traffic on Monday after police in the city of Maerkang noticed cracks forming on slopes and roads near the site. Authorities said terrain on a nearby mountain had begun to shift, prompting the closure. By Tuesday, the situation had deteriorated. Landslides tore through the area, triggering the collapse of the bridge’s approach and roadbed, according to a statement from the local government. No injuries or deaths were reported, though the collapse is a major embarrassment for Sichuan Road & Bridge Group, the state-backed contractor that celebrated the project’s completion in a promotional video earlier this year.

    269 I have one single individual in my family who is unabashedly Liberal with a capital "L". We're talkin someone who flew to Seattle to have her first child because the midwife (yes, she used a midwife) there had a very will "respected" Crystal "expert" as part of the package.

    At family reunions she is convinced she can convert everyone else. And, while the rest of my relatives catch up, share laughs and great food, she makes her rounds trying to convince everyone they need to change their wasteful, bigoted and selfish ways. To my relatives it is endearing to some extent. Entertaining, surly. And, people go out of their way to give her full attention and respect despite her...well...annoying stupidity. Some of my cousins even have fun with it and show up wearing Che' T-shirts and other garb reflecting stereotypical liberal behavior.

    My point is that there is certainly a difference between how Conservatives treat Liberals. And, the opposite. They are singularly focused on themselves, and if you are not just like them, you are wrong.

    Needless to say, did not work... I had already read the actual research on the Gene Therapy shot, and lack of adequate testing... so while they got heated, I got quietly adamant.

    Now that EVERYTHING I said at the time, is finally getting admitted to, they wish to sweep that whole time under the rug, and ignore it.

    One of the interesting things about leftwing conspiracy theories is they generally don't make internal sense.

    Why would Musk spy on the Ukes for Putin? Well the only answer they can give you is something like, "Russia is evil, and Musk is evil, so of course Musk will help Russia because they are both evil".

    335 Meh. Leftism is just a religious belief system substitute and right now Trump is the Satan figure. Also, her name scans perfectly with Eleanor Rigby so there's a Weird Al type situation just sitting there ready to go

    344 Well I have a take on family
    2021, grandma and grandpa decide they're not getting the shot.

    My wife and I and two kids, 4 and 2, decide we're not getting the shot either.

    Wife's brother and sister-in-law are getting the shot. Furthermore, grandparents can't visit their kid unless they get the shot. So they cave and get the shot.

    4 months later, grandpa passes, heart trouble (complications due to the shot???)

    After that, grandma visits our kids, and when she returns she's told by her son and daughter-in-law that she needs to quarantine for 7 days before she can see any of them.

    That's when we're told that we are not allowed to visit until we get the shot.

    Guess we won't be visiting, and f*ck you and the horse you rode in on.

    Fast forward to 2024 and they're, "hey, how come we never the kids?

    Sorry, kids still haven't gotten that useless shot, plus you all are azzholes, who have never apologized for being azzholes, and my kids don't need that in their lives.

    Now, I'm the one who can't let things go.... Sorry. but when you decide that it's ok to treat my kids like disease vectors, you ware welcome to get f*cked with a pineapple.

    Don't these people have something else to talk about besides politics?


    A decade back or so, our daughter's then "love of her life's" parents met us for dinner. She insisted that we not bring up the subject of politics.

    My sister, who sometimes posts here, can vouch that it was neither she nor us who kept bringing up political topics. It was them. Crashing bores they were.

    347 Kimmel has never been funny

    348 I think I've finally figured out the author of the viral "Thanksgiving List" I saw a few years ago.

    Where the insane "hostess" emailed her entire family the list of foods assigned to bring, the serving pieces, storage, etc. No trashy tupperware or plastic. It was not in a nice holiday format at all, but demanding and shrill and I would have sent a snotty reply and not gone.

    It was an exhausting list from a super neurotic old cow and I think it was Kimmel's wife hag!

    While my own family and some of my husband's are odd, her TRump whining emails would result in me blocking her ass.

    Mystery solved! She also talks nasally and annoying. This explains a lot about her spouse. While it says it's from Marney, I think it is from Mrs. Kimmel.

    349 Also...THIS is why Dim women are mostly ugly and you can pick them out in crowds of strangers. Also look for the haircut, scowl, and general bitter disposition popping out like zits used to with stress as a teen (not that I had many zits, in all seriousness).

    I did not have a breakdown when Barky entered the WH. Nor Biden. I simply became more sarcastic and ignored what I could. Vs starting wars in my own family, or yelling at people voting the other way. What a freaking nutcase this woman is! She needs some electroshock therapy to zap her out of it. Or one of those coffee enemas Gwenneth likes.

    I have felt a bit under the weather or whatever today. I don't know who to blame: time change? Dims? I am not sick I just feel "off." So, to cure me or kill me, I had a falafel in a pita with tzatziki sauce and could spend the rest of the day on the terlit in the loo. Having some private time to figure out why I am not my normal self.

    My husband said he is worried. I mean, I have only been sort of tired for a couple of days! He says he misses my crazy normal self. I'll try, I weakly say, to be better tomorrow.

    352 bet all those kids who cut off family over politics still expect something when the wills are read.

    Some enterprising lawyer could make bank by offering a service to cut out these jerks from estates and wills.
