31 Vercingétorix’s surrender at Alesia in 52 BCE ended the major organized Gallic uprising and gave Julius Caesar a decisive victory. Resistance continued in parts of Gaul, but Roman control was consolidated soon afterward, bringing the Gallic Wars to their close by 50 BCE.

84 I admire Motte's paintings for their realistic detail. The rough hewn fence pales, the war towers in the background, the accurate colors, all combine to create an emotional image as well as a visual one. What makes this scene more interesting beyond the historical aspect is the focus on Vercingetorix. He is defeated in war but not diminished. He is front and center while Caesar, seen as a red blob in the distance, is a small presence. I assume this was matter of French pride in how Motte designed the painting. (I'll avoid mentioning the immediate thought of another French surrender.)

As much as I like his work, Motte's paintings don't seem appropriate to hang in a home. They would be enjoyed in a gallery and as high class book illustrations. They make me think of the color Prince Valiant Sunday comics which had many of the same artistic techniques.

90 They stuck to the history pretty closely, if not the costume. Vercingetorix rode his horse around the Roman camp before heading to the dais you can see back there to do the deed. I don't know if there was actually a dais, but it would have been typical.

Anyway, he got the same treatment as Jugurtha. Hauled to Rome in chains, displayed for the Senate & People in the Triumph, and then sent off to the Tullianum to be strangled by a giant prison guard in a pit.

That would make a cool painting too.

103 From Free Beacon:

Spenser Rapone, a self-described "revolutionary socialist" who was drummed out of the Army after declaring his support for communism and calling for violence against Republicans, has taken up residence at the University of Chicago, where he specializes in "modern Arab intellectual history" and the "history of the modern Middle East," among other subjects.
In addition to his well-known communist bona fides, Rapone has also picked up a taste for Islamic extremism—which he now freely posts about on his public X page. His most inflammatory public pronouncements are in Arabic and remain live on X.
"Glory to the martyred leader Yahya Sinwar," he said on Oct. 18, 2024, shortly after Israel killed the Hamas boss, who masterminded the Oct. 7 massacre.

108 The story of how Caesar won France is still amazing. What he did should not have worked.

Oh and one part not often talked about, at the start of the campaign the Helvetii had decided to move from near what is now Switzerland into southern Gaul. Julius defeated them militarily, enslaved a bunch of them, and forced the survivors to return back to their own lands.

Now THAT is immigration reform.

D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto shared a statement on social media confirming that the shooting took place "at and outside" the Vida Fitness gym, and asking people to stay away from the area. MPD has not yet confirmed the location.

A witness in the gym at the time of the shooting told News4 that she heard gunshots while on the treadmill. When she heard the gunshots, she and others in the gym ran out of the building and took shelter in the nearby Call Your Mother deli.

"We heard really loud, aggressive gunshots. Not like pistols or anything," Vasquez said. "We saw people running in.

A) Shocked
B) Outraged

Because of course they are. But to complete the picture, remember the weather in New England is shitty in the winter and you'd be a maniac to ride a bike next to a Boston driver when it is icy - even assuming you are in good enough shape to do so...

Henri-Paul Motte (1846-1922)

This is amazing!

*Vercingétorix Se Rend À César* (Vercingetorix Surrendering to Caesar) is an 1886 academic history painting by French artist Henri-Paul Motte (1846–1922). (Wikiart)

The historic surrender of the Gallic chieftain Vercingétorix to the Roman general Julius Caesar after the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC.

Unlike other famous romanticized epictions (such as Lionel Royer’s 1899 version), Motte's painting shows Vercingétorix arriving on horseback at the gate or camp of the Roman fortification, with Caesar seated or positioned at a distance.

Painted in the Academic / Classical style, reflecting 19th-century French historical painting traditions where Motte studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme.

I'm unfamiliar with the artist but now find his paintings fabulous!

From zerohedge.

Hoax bomb threats emailed to thousands of schools forced evacuations across Italy on Wednesday, and the same kind of message landed in schools in Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland, a week after a wave of bomb threats diverted flights across Europe. Italy's Education Ministry said the email reached about 6,000 schools, and at least 300 were evacuated, ANSA reported.

"We have come to annihilate you. We will carry out a genocide against the Italians" (translated), the email read, according to Il Sole 24 Ore. It claimed a "powerful device" (translated) had been left in a plastic bag "with a remote detonator" (translated), and another line claimed a bomb had been planted in the engine of the prime minister's car. It was signed "Mikhail Antropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan" (translated), a name Italian reports also spell Andropov.

The suspected shooter is not in custody, police said. It is not yet clear who the shooter is. The shooter is barricaded on a high floor of the apartment building above the gym where the shooting took place, a federal law enforcement source confirmed to News4.

229 Haven't checked to see what the current status is, but for decades international food aid = US food aid. When I was directly involved, the US provided essentially 80% of the World Food Program's food and $$. And this understates the case, because when it comes to the most extreme disasters and difficult operational situations, only the US (= US military) can makes things happen.

Of course not going to both to glance at the idiotic Atlantic piece, so won't be able to fisk in detail. But I assume that whatever is being done about food aid needs in Somalia is now via the WFP (they implement via NGOs), and further assume that means the US is still the major donor.

The ACTIVE SHOOTER in Washington DC has barricaded himself inside of an apartment on the seventh floor on the 1500 block of 15th Street NW, where a BARRICADE has been officially declared by MPD’s ERT.
Several shots have just been fired AT POLICE through the door, causing SWAT officers to have to temporarily retreat and reposition themselves.
The shooter had also been walking around intentionally setting fires across several different locations along Church Street NW and 15th Street NW.
DC Police have put a lookout for a ‘White male, heavy built, wearing gray shorts with a gray and black gun.’
US Secret Service are also investigating the report of shots fired near 12th Street and R Street NW, however that is unfounded thus far.

233 Nah. I'm sure everything is COMPLETELY secure. Everyone did EVERYTHING possible to secure the integrity of the vote. Everything!!!

Gateway Pundit.

Here’s something for you to contemplate as you consider concerns about election integrity: Do the algorithms that Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has found surreptitiously embedded in current state board of election voter rolls suggest intelligence agents have decided to bypass voters to vote election simulations?

As documented on GodsFiveStones.com, Paquette has found secret algorithms in the board of election voter registration databases in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and Texas, with ongoing examinations underway in Arizona and Georgia.

The algorithms appear designed to hide critical voter attribute information, allowing the people who developed the scheme to create and hide “non-existent voters” capable of being assigned legitimate state voter IDs. Once created, the algorithms can vote certifiable mail-in ballots for enough “non-existent voters” to steal an election from an opponent who won through legitimate votes.

235 IDK. I’m not a conspiracy theorist and don’t like mentioning things without evidence. But when you look at the statistics and general probability around what happened in Texas it seems something ain’t right. I’ve look at a few analyses where people much smarter than me lay out the math and conclude that while not impossible it’s highly improbable.

It’s certain we go out asses whooped. But when almost every county moves in one direction and 1.6 million new voters show up, more than the general (which has never happened) something seems rotten in Denmark.

I don’t think we should spend a ton of time on this but it needs to be followed to the end. As Texas goes so does the nation and if we don’t hustle and get a bunch of new registered voters and move things in our direction, this thing is over.

Time to sack up.

Following his surrender, Vercingetorix was imprisoned in the Roman state prison, the Tullianum, where he remained in captivity for six years.

In 46 BC, he was publicly displayed in Caesar's triumph, which had been delayed due to the civil war (49–45 BC), then executed in the Tullianum in August or September that year, possibly by strangulation.

The Morning Report — 11/12 /26

Good morning kids. Once again the metaphors abound as we lead off with the story of a pretty horrific building collapse in Brooklyn New York.

A Brooklyn building collapsed into a massive pile of rubble Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring 17 — including four critically — as firefighters desperately search for more victims buried underneath the wreck in a harrowing scene. Loved ones made frantic calls for help after the three-story apartment building at Newkirk and Flatbush Avenues fell into an active construction site next door at around 4 p.m., witnesses said. Officials warned that the number of victims would likely increase. Rescue crews don’t know how many people from the building are still missing as the dire and dangerous search for any survivors continued into the night and is expected to stretch for days.

As many of you know, I am a former New Yorker, so this story really hits close to home in that I not only hail from Brooklyn but my childhood home is not even a mile from the site of the collapse.

And speaking of collapses, the hits just keep on coming for NYC.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed a law giving nonprofit organizations the first opportunity to purchase distressed residential buildings. . . Covered properties include multifamily buildings with four or more units that are in significant disrepair, as well as buildings with affordability restrictions governed by HPD regulatory agreements. By creating a pathway for responsible community-based ownership, COPA will ensure that these properties are repaired, maintained and operated in partnership with tenants rather than left to deteriorate by negligent owners.

Obviously given the players involved here, the terms "responsible" and "negligent owners" are quite fungible. You better believe that property inspectors will be fully vetted for their political allegiances to no one but the Democrat Socialites. That means that a distressed property will be defined as one whose owner is the Trump organization or someone similar.

The Democrats believe that having a home is a human right. Not for the rightful owner of a property but every indigent, layabout, vagrant and illegal alien in our midst. After all America was colonized by white supremacist foreigners and so the other favorite Leftist word is in equal force: Liberation

Thanksgiving Is a 'Day of Mourning,' Lesson Plan Recommended to Loudoun County Second Graders Says. . . Public school teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, looking to teach their students about American holidays can draw from a list of district-approved lesson plans, including one recommended for second graders that declares Thanksgiving a "Day of Mourning" and another that calls Columbus Day a "Debated Celebration," documents obtained via a public records request and shared exclusively with the Washington Free Beacon show.

My own personal view is that Thanksgiving is a day of Liberation, in that civilized, advanced, cultured superior people liberated a continent from savage heathen rapists, pedophiles, and subhuman cannibals and bringing them the priceless benefits of civilization. In any case if you think what's going on in Loudon County is a one-off, you better think again. Because what happened to us on Election Day and really since the Swinging 60s if not earlier, get ready for your kids and grandkids to get it right in the head! Because the revolution must be generational and forever.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) made huge political gains in the midterms. Having already captured the mayor’s office in New York City, the group is now working their political message into school classrooms. American education is already rife with left-wing political indoctrination, but it’s about to get even worse. . . The New York City DSA chapter also established Comrades With Kids, a family-focused organizing group that seeks to be a “political and social home base for working-class families.” The group posted photos of DSA-themed coloring pages for children provided at a Zohran for Parents event in September 2025.

FORGET a lousy tenement in Flatbush, the Berlin Wall fell on top of us and from where I'm lying, I can't see anyone coming to dig us out! But wait, there's more, as the hits just keep on coming.

Democrat Scott Colom Wins Mississippi Senate Seat Defeating Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith . . . that gives Democrats their 55th seat in the U.S. Senate following the November midterm election.

Despite all this misery, I nevertheless hope that all of you have a good day

Answer: "Because the cop showed up quickly to stop it.

Question Two: "Why didn't the cop react sooner?"

15 Texas authorities have identified a man accused of attacking students at a Turning Point USA tent on the University of Texas at Tyler campus Tuesday in the latest attack on the conservative youth organization whose founder was assassinated last year.

Smith County booking records identify the suspect Ciro Tomlian.

Video of the incident shows a man wearing a cape and a round-brimmed hat as he threw an American flag on the ground and swung a cane at a group of people.

He is a former student who was not enrolled at the school at the time of the attack, according to authorities.

>>Imagine for instance Rubio vs Kamala 2.0… yeah she could win, but she’s no shoo in. Keep hope alive!

Basically, the 2028 GOP Presidential nominee will need to get Trump numbers just to be competitive with the number of new ballot registrations the donks have slip streamed.

We're in a completely different political landscape now where every election mid-term, presidential, dog catcher, etc. needs maximal effort.

The GOP does not have a taxpayer funded army of psychopaths, lunatics and true believers to register ballots and get those ballots tabulated.

They're still counting votes in Alaska and elsewhere, we could be staring down the barrel of 265-170 house and a 55-44-1 Senate.

And if sh*t really goes bad in 28, we could be looking at a DSA President with a supermajority in the Senate.

I don't think people have come to grips about what went down on election night.

46 The nasty, vile Mao-babies that have been empowered by this Dem sweep are genuine frightening.

Ugly mutants who are consumed with hate and vengeance.
Yet some still respond to their horrid behavior with shaming, as if there is some moral core inside them to reach.

There is not.

We need to build a theory of mind for them that is as alien to us as the muslim's or cultist's mind:
"Good" is not objective.
Good is defined by what you say and believe.
And if you say and believe what is "good," nothing you ever do--violence, murder, lying, cheating, stealing, etc.--is wrong.

Very few conservatives understand almost no leftie (and none of the Mao-babies) would object or turn from agreeing with this:
"I must torture, beat and make this 7 year old child suffer because I heard her parents voted for Trump."

Surely, anything politically advantageous will obviously be targeted.

But you're thinking small. Mamdani's thinking big.

As soon as I heard of this plan a couple months ago, I knew exactly what this was. It's a plan to seize large amounts of the world's most valuable real estate and hand it over to DSA aligned NGOs, make his donors powerful landlords in the city, run off existing landowners so he can seize more, and rake off a huge amount of $$$ for the Party in the process.

It's a money laundry and a feudal aristocrat power play rolled into one. And of course, as the new one-party future unfolds, those buildings will be packed to the rafters with the dusky third-world serfs the Lords bring in to replace existing NYers.

Big tracts of that city will be indistinguishable from Karachi and Mumbai, before you can say "Inshallah."

At some point when emotions cool people need to start looking at the numbers to see what happened. Democrats imported 20 million illegals under Biden on top of the ones already here. Many states don't require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Blue states fought the DOJ to hide their voter rolls. Democrats fought to kill the Save Act.

Democrats built an army of new voters that makes it virtually impossible for us to win many races, even in places like Texas.

Look at this chart. This is impossible other than by Democrats cheating and adding new "voters".

70 > they're still counting votes in Alaska

I think we're probably fine. The mail-in votes are going to break for Peltola, but I don't think there are enough of them to push her over 50% (could be wrong, but I don't think so).

If no one breaks 50%, the candidate with the lowest total (in this case, "fake Dan") will be eliminated and his votes distributed to whoever those voter named as their second choice. Even if all of them go to Peltola (they won't), that's still not enough to make her break 50%. In that case, Heikes will be eliminated and the second choice of his voters will come into play. Almost all of those are going to go to "Real" Dan, IMO.

I could be wrong here, but I'm not setting my hair on fire just yet.

Candidates State Totals
Peltola, Mary (DEM) 48.9% 121,487
Sullivan, "Real" Dan S. (REP) 47.3% 117,512
Heikes, Gerald L. (REP) 2.2% 5,426
Sullivan, "Fake" Daniel J. Jr. 1.6% 4,100

- citizenship verification
- private right of action to enforce

The GOP does not have a taxpayer funded army of psychopaths, lunatics and true believers to register ballots and get those ballots tabulated.

They're still counting votes in Alaska and elsewhere, we could be staring down the barrel of 265-170 house and a 55-44-1 Senate.

Nonsense. Murky survived being FUCKING PRIMARIED, long before RCV was even instituted. I know it's somehow become an article of faith here that Murky's longevity has something to do with RCV, but it doesn't. At all. Perhaps it might be advisable to look into why this ACTUALLY occurred, rather than going to a facile (and idiotic) "explanation" of why it occurred.

As for the governorship, that's still not determined either. The Democrat has 49.64%, with the other 50.3% split among three Republicans. Almost all of those will be reassigned to the top Republican, Wilson. The winner will be the person who breaks 50%.

I’m not usually one to criticize Trump, but the execution of the Iran strategy has been choppy at best.

His numerous mistakes all involved his penchant for negotiating (complete waste of time) and his many proclamations claiming victory or a deal etc… he’d have been much better off simply executing the blockade and continuing to echo US Grant: the only terms are complete and unconditional surrender.

Talarico got more votes in a midterm election than any politician of either party in any race other than Trump.

Icing on the cake. Texas is the cake.

Congress has abdicated all its power to the executive branch over the last century, which has become so entrenched that if the Article I branch ever tries to claw back so much as an ounce of it, it will spark a real crisis - one that these unprincipled swindlers could never screw up the moral courage to confront.

It has become a ceremonial body with an advisory role, and that role shrinks even more every four years. So in that sense, this midterm doesn't matter much.

But for Texas. I thought we had another 1-2 cycles before it went, but it happened now, and that's checkmate. As long as they can rig the system up there (which they can and will), the executive branch's limitless potential is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party - no more pesky Trumps will be wrenching up the deep state works ever again.

>>The "donk" has a whopping 7.5% of the House vote at the moment.

So I was just able to find better results, apparently the GOP candidate has 49 pct and the independent candidate has 40 pct, the donk candidate has 7.5 pct the libertarian candidate has 2.67 pct.

but because of retarded RCV, and depending on second choices and how the computers redistribute the votes, the house seat for the GOP candidate is still in doubt.

I'd like to read or hear a comprehensive explanation of this. If the midterms were a product of this "color revolution," then, as you say, enormous planning, organizational effort and manpower had to be involved. It could not have avoided leaving tracks and evidence.

At this point, we have lost to the Left. Optimistically, we may look at as the equivalent of the First Battle of Bull Run. But to take this view would suggest that our leaders are aware of the war we're in and the nature of the enemy and its designs. I think that may one optimistic step too far.

130 The big problem, as I see it, is that the base will not come out for anyone but Trump because nobody else outside the Administration is doing anything for the base.

And just a few months ago, everyone was slapping each on the back about how deep the GOP bench is for '28.

I think the treachery of the GOP Senate, for now, has probably erased at a minimum 10-20 million voters from the '28 election because of the massive black-pilling.

There needs to be blood in the streets before any of them come back, and since I see these events as a physical manifestation of a spiritual origin, very pessimistic.

The deadline for absentee ballots is November 15. So no, they won't be "counting until Christmas". And this doesn't have anything to do with "RCV", either. Alaska has long had a lenient deadline for receipt of absentee ballot, simply because there are a lot of places here where the mail can...take a while... to move.

133 Talarico got more votes in a midterm election than any politician of either party in any race other than Trump. He is an absolute weirdo that might have a chance in San Francisco or some other liberal bastion but statewide in Texas? With that many votes? He even took off 2 weeks of campaigning and disappeared. Yet he got more early votes than Paxton got total votes.

We're in the middle of well planned and highly organized color revolution. That's what we are losing to.

--

Maybe he would've won by a hair's width anyway in the end, but I will never believe Talarico's numbers are legitimate. They are not. They're so far out of the realm of possibility, it's laughable. Coupled with the dark organizations (the Color Revolution Army) that have executed a fully successful win on all fronts, just how can this be dismantled? I wish I saw a way to combat this.

142 Technically, we are at Break Glass Use 2nd Amendment Time

--------

Not quite yet. I have been thinking through how to execute on a secession movement for a long time, and am currently trying to work out the nuts and bolts of how to approach it. The basic germ of the idea came from the Dems, and their NPV pact, and the Solidarity movement in Poland/Baltic states.

Of course, there will be no political party backing this play, and it will have to be a grass roots movement that initially relies solely on passage of initiative amendments to State constitutions, then initiative legislation forcing constitutional conventions where that isn't possible, and exploitation of automatic convention measures in a few others.

But I think if people in even just 5 or 10 states can be convinced to pull the trigger, the federal government and its forces will be unable to stop it, and once the others see people grabbing their freedom and self-determination it will snowball into regime collapse.

And it's by no means necessary that they all be red states, either.

It sounds impossible now. But demand for this will grow and grow in the coming years. We have to build it if we want them to come, tho.

Conservatives still stupidly believe the courts are holy and sacred.

Until conservatives have a strategy that includes "defy and ignore the courts," all of this is just "if I won the lottery" dreams.

The left has an endless supply of judges who will rubber-stamp anything they want--no matter what the voters vote for.

Example: They don't need to impeach or remove Hegseth. That's just a "nice to have."

They'll get a judge to order the military to do whatever their color revolution requires.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has officially SHOT DOWN reports he's considering VP JD Vance to make a face-to-face deal with Iran — instead focusing JD 100% on blue state corruption and fraud

"We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!"

"I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is being stolen each and every month. Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity.

NVDIA: Watch for the DS appointee. cthSCHMIDT?

Epstein succeeded by positioning himself at the intersection where private greed, elite compromise, and intelligence operations met. By acting as a financial fixer who could bridge billionaires, foreign leaders, and covert state networks, he allegedly became too useful—and eventually too dangerous—to expose until his operations completely imploded under public scrutiny. However, official records still officially classify his crimes as a massive, criminal conspiracy engineered by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for personal power, extortion, and abuse, rather than a confirmed, sanctioned state operation.

Deep State: Success, yes, but only on their terms.
Considered a warning shot to all the other MAGA/Trump allies; TRUMP needs to respond by indicting/exposing Brennan's collusion -- and the Epstein class will do the work for him...

Hegseth says the operations in Iran, Venezuela and Yemen were lawful. Maybe. But lawfulness is not something an officeholder certifies for himself at a press conference in Arlington. Congress handed that judgment away one vague authorization at a time, under both parties, and a committee referral is what the bill coming due looks like.
Both leaderships got what they wanted out of it, which is why nobody looked like they lost. One account of the vote, with a Left and a Right reading of the same facts: https://tinyurl.com/29eaqnre

In Exodus, God and Jethro (a Midianite priest) both impressed upon Moses the extreme importance of having "Just Justice" (apparently they were steeped in social justice and other fake-justice) and having well qualified, God fearing, righteous judges. They also had high demands on witnesses, not only did it make the Decalogue written twice in stone, but serious perjury consequences that were so strict that Jews today largely feel that God went overboard and wasn't serious.

And what we have are insane demons who hate "just justice" and want to inflict sadistic "decisions".

It comes out of Portland OR where the city added multiple new requirements on rental buildings. The case comes from a landlord of a low-cost apartment building that the city transformed from having a profit, to having a loss thru regulations. The question at hand .. is that covered by the "Takings Clause" ?

I'd say 50% probability of Taiwanese or Taiwanese-American, 50% white American.

Looking at the org chart, NVIDIA has almost no Indians among upper management.

East Asians (especially Chinese/Taiwanese) and Indians hate each other's guts.

I remember in grad school I'd sometimes see Chinese or Taiwanese students eating lunch with white students, and sometimes see Indian students eating lunch with white students, but I don't recall ever seeing Chinese and Indian students eating lunch together other than as part of a large mixed group along with whites. Even then the Chinese students would all sit at the same table or tables and the Indians would do likewise. You'd never see them sitting together.

309 From above, "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed a law giving nonprofit organizations the first opportunity to purchase distressed residential buildings."

"In short, COPA functions as a first step rather than a complete financial solution. Without federal assistance, its success relies almost entirely on whether Mayor Mamdani and the City Council follow through by dedicating a large portion of the city's own capital budget to subsidize these purchases before the law takes effect in November 2027."

Another: "Sanders’ proposal to abolish Medicare represents far more than just a political bait-and-switch. It also reveals how Democrats view Medicare not as a sacred bond to help our nation’s elderly and individuals with disabilities, but rather as a slush fund to be raided to finance their next big-government scheme."

It's a more sophisticated, more revealing build off of the ACA. IMO, of course.

Biden's "enhanced subsidies" introduced under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to keep health coverage affordable during the COVID-19 pandemic started laying the groundwork.

310 • According to KFF, the enhanced subsidies cut average net premium payments by 44% and helped drive Marketplace enrollment from 11.4 million in 2020 to record highs above 24 million by 2025.
• Return of Pre-2021 Rules. Following the expiration at the end of 2025, standard ACA subsidy rules returned for the 2026 and 2027 plan years.
• Higher Out-of-Pocket Costs. Because the subsidy cliff returned, households earning above 400% of the FPL once again pay full unsubsidized prices. According to a May 2026 KFF analysis, average monthly net premium payments across all Marketplace consumers jumped 58% in 2026 (from $113 to $17

, and many enrollees shifted to lower-premium, higher-deductible Bronze plans to offset the loss of federal aid.

It's a frigging scam & pocketbook! Leaving ADULTS on parents' insurance is one of the most damaging things of the ACA, but seems the only way to keep afloat.

Taking the time to read, "an older couple with 2 kids in college" would likely greatly reduce their insurance payments by having their 24 to 26 year "kids" get their own $0 to minimum payment medical insurance through a variety of sources, including Medicaid if applicable.

So about six trillion.

There's more, but it's now commonly behind proxies or services like Cloudflare that mitigate attacks of various kinds.

In this case the bug is restricted to HTTP/2, so if you remove the entries for h2 and h2c from your configuration file so that it falls back to HTTP/1 you're safe and you shouldn't notice any difference. It will be a little slower, but if you're not Google you won't care.

Someone found and published 30 "zero-day" vulnerabilities all at once so they locked and bolted the door. And the windows, floor, ceiling, air ducts, and everything else, while they scrambled to fix them.

Apparently all fixed now.

Just in time for Apache to rain on their picnic.

8 Jensen Huang is now strongly suspected of having an affair with the Nvidia VP of Healthcare, Kimberley Powell.

Kimberly Powell is Nvidia’s vice president for healthcare, a 48-year-old engineer who has worked at the company since 2008 and reports directly to CEO Jensen Huang. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that she and Huang had had an extramarital affair, citing five people who had worked at the company. A few hours later, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board was preparing to remove Huang following two extramarital affairs, one of them with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Powell has not spoken publicly.

Steve Jobs got himself a second bite at Apple.
And he built it back better than it ever was and set the company on the path to being the the most valuable tech company in the world not long after his death.

Jensen may have to follow a similar path if he's fired.
Start a new company, he's surely got the capital, like Jobs did with Pixar and wait, maybe forever, for Nvidia to ask him back.

It's a longshot but he's still got a couple of decades left in life to bore himself to death otherwise.

>>Jensen may have to follow a similar path if he's fired.

Jobs was brilliant a**hole, Jensen is not in that category, plus he's demonstrated he has low character and poor decision making skills when it comes to poon.

I'm not sure what he could start at this point as he will have trouble attracting capital and talent.

Having less charm than Job is certainly not a plus.

If I had to guess on what Jensen might do, I'd say some startup AI or Agentic AI company.

I doubt he'd get back into chip design, far too much work and he doesn't want to compete against his own stock portfolio.

He's got estimated to be worth around $150 billion.
He's got the capital to do just about anything he wants to do on a much smaller scale than Nvidia.

I have no idea what he'll do, but I'm sure as high energy as he is he'll want to do something just so he won't be sitting around all day watching CNBC.

And this is California we are talking about.
If he offers people a good enough deal he can hire somebody within a 150 mile radius of Silicon Valley, I'm sure.
They aren't really big on traditional moral judgements out there, especially if the paycheck and stock options are good enough.

Like I said, though, I have no clue what he'll do if the Nvidia board cans him.

If it's Dell that can be tricky.
They use proprietary parts which may not be easily diagnosed.

If it's a HDD then you could try to clone it, maybe, and start over with the new one. If it's actually running a diagnostic it can't be completely trashed.

Could be something as simple as a loose connection cable, motherboard input going bad, or a HDD going out.

141 @133/SpeakingOf: "Could be something as simple as a loose connection cable"

Had this on a refurbished laptop. Two "loose connector" issues caused two separate problems:

1) Backlight of screen working intermittently: Had to disassemble the bezel around the screen and carefully disconnect and reconnect the screen's connector/cable into the motherboard. Whoever refurbished the computer wasn't careful in this regard.

2) Went to boot up one day and ... nothing. Couldn't see the SSD in the BIOS. Disassembled the main case, took out the metal tray where the SSD or NVME is plugged in and ... oh look. The NVME has slidden out of the socket and is just laying there in the metal carrier tray. Cause: Refurbisher didn't put the hold-down screw in at the end of the NVME to make sure it didn't pop out of the connection slot, which it will eventually with a laptop because you're moving it around from location to location and it gets jostled and bumped.

Now that I've fixed both of those problems, the system works just fine. Refurbs aren't necessarily all they're cracked up to be. Desktops are easier to take apart and work on over laptops, for sure.

But D turnout was astronomically high, higher than you would see in a presidential year election even.

159 The advantage of a PC refurbished by the manufacturer Is they actually fix things and in the case of a laptop they replace the battery if needed.

With that said, PCs are pretty reliable....

They do well on the basic stuff.

But when it comes to real precision work, our local shop struggles.

Mrs VIA's 2013 Miata, like all Miatas is very sensitive to tire balance and wheel straightness.

Three tries with their Road Force balancing unit revealed 'no issues' but a persistent vibration issue that was unsolvable, and needed to be solved in order for us to take it to that year's TxMoMe.

Finally traveled from outside Charleston to a small wheel shop outside of Ft Bragg for a look.

Three rims needed work, and they rebalanced the new tires the old school way.
That car never rode so smooth, and I'm talking 100mph+ on safe stretches of interstate just to check how she felt.

I will buy tires from DT, but their mounting and balancing has disappointed me.

Trump claims that the U.S. has already won the war against Iran, but he acknowledges that the conflict is not over yet and will end when the U.S. decides. Tensions remain high, with Iran rejecting U.S. concessions and threatening military action
...
Implications for Diplomacy

The situation remains tense, with diplomatic efforts ongoing but facing significant challenges. Iran's refusal to yield on key issues complicates the potential for a peaceful resolution.

Memory is an obvious choice. The established players are refusing to expand capacity, using the excuse of memory (ahem) of the last boom/bust, that killed most of the previous big players due to overextension. But this isn't a normal business cycle thing, so if he believes AI has permanently raised the demand floor, there's market share being (deliberately) left on the table, which a sufficiently bored rich man could grab.

In fact, didn't we just read the other day about how one of Musk's planned factories will be 70% memory? You could not have a better validation to point to in recruiting people.

Well, it's what I'd do in his position. But he just finished demonstrating poor judgement, so who knows.

Even if the pay a price, their advantage is now so vast that it would take an even more massive Red Wave.

And taking back the Senate can't happen until at least 2032.

And it looks like GOP redisctricitng back fired as it resulted in a net loss of seats wheras the donk redistricting resulted in a net gain of seats.

Iran owns the dirt, that is, checks notes, an advantage. Toss in Trump's on again, off again, do no harm battle plan, well, the Iranians have zero reasons to deal. The embargo, military and financial, is likely the USA's best hope but that is going to take time and even that isn't guaranteed to work. Plus the Khmer Bleu are going to cause havoc starting in about 6 weeks; the Iranians knows this.

Look at Japan in WWII. It took burning Tokyo to the ground, dropping two nuclear weapons, and the Emperor stepping in to end it. Mullah Inc. is just as fanatical.

215 I’m not usually one to criticize Trump, but the execution of the Iran strategy has been choppy at best. He eventually arrived at what I think is the right approach which is blockade and slow strangulation. His numerous mistakes all involved his penchant for negotiating (complete waste of time) and his many proclamations claiming victory or a deal etc… he’d have been much better off simply executing the blockade and continuing to echo US Grant: the only terms are complete and unconditional surrender.

“President Trump has privately questioned whether the June memorandum of understanding with Iran was a costly mistake, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing two officials. Trump reportedly argued that the deal, which Vice President JD Vance helped negotiate, gave Tehran time to regroup and collect oil revenues before the U.S. imposed its naval blockade.”

Effingham County suing its own commissioners and OpenAI is what the build-out looks like once it stops being a stock chart: the constraint is no longer GPUs, it is the interconnection queue, the gas turbine order and a county's docket. Softbank cancelling 13 GW and Musk wanting 10 GW at Starbase is the same fight over who gets the megawatts, priced at a $3.7 billion loss.
That is also why the Nvidia item matters more than the capex numbers. A company whose valuation assumes one man makes the decisions just had its board discuss whether that man stays, on a report involving a possible Chinese intelligence connection. Shares fell 8% after hours on a report, not a finding.

California Sheriff's Deputy Rides Stolen Dinosaur After Bizarre Rescue

One Southern California dinosaur is back in its natural environment on Monday after facing near extinction.
A large green dinosaur from a Sinclair gas station in San Joaquin County, California, was stolen on Oct. 27, per CBS News. Police investigated the stolen dinosaur, which left a trail toward Stockton, where it was found with a black bag over its head.
A suspect was arrested - albeit not the person the dinosaur was ultimately found with, who claimed they had no idea the dinosaur was stolen.
Deputies returned the dinosaur to the gas station it was originally stationed at on Monday. But before doing so, the deputies who rescued it took several photos to celebrate their achievement.

Big hat tip thanks to tankdemon. Next time he's late, I bet he blames the delay on a wayward dino.

Mandatory Maiden

The time has come for Aces High. The song is about the Battle of Britain in 1940, told from the perspective of a British RAF fighter pilot. I would wager a large amount of money that many people are familiar with Sir Winston Churchill's famous speech thanks to the introduction to Aces High that Iron Maiden uses when playing the song live.

June 4, 1940:

I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government - every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.
The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

Full speech here

Fun fact - the original speech given to Parliament was not recorded when delivered live. It was recorded for posterity after the war ended.

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel from Boylei Hobby Time. Content from this channel has found its way to the Saturday Hobby Thread, but it may not be known more broadly. This is single hobbyist builder that makes amazing dioramas, often with very creative bespoke scenes (many with sci-fi themes).

The skill is remarkable. The creativity is impressive. In many cases, the final products are personal showpieces. In some cases, they are gifts for others. The channel description starts with a bible quote - "I hope my videos inspire you to create with the gifts you've been created with." (Ephesians 2:10)

The videos themselves are simple, methodical and well done. Modest voiceover and background music, but no graphics or clickbait. Most screen time shows his hands engaged in the specifics of crafting. It is not so much a "how to" channel as a "watch and learn" channel. Many projects use a kit as a starting point and add the magic of scenery and action to give them life.

The channel has over 1.15 million subscribers and view counts range from the hundreds of thousands in to the millions. He has been posting videos for six years.

Sample video to illustrate (yes, he had me at "dinosaur army"):

12 In August, 1990, I was taking a break, leaning against a tree, reading a book on the Son Tay raid ("The Raid", great book). There was a radio nearby tuned to some news station. There came an announcement that Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait. Suddenly my class at airborne school, Ft. Benning, became very quiet and very interested in what was going to happen next. In fact, the class was nearly canceled because every plane the military could get was going to Saudi Arabia. Apparently the school borrowed one C-130 from the KY NG and the entire class, all five jumps, were done from that one C-130. But I got through unscathed and got my jump wings. Had a bit of swagger at ROTC that Fall. Jump school baby. Huah!

16 A large green dinosaur from a Sinclair gas station in San Joaquin County, California, was stolen on Oct. 27, per CBS News. Police investigated the stolen dinosaur, which left a trail toward Stockton, where it was found with a black bag over its head.

Stolen by a moslem, who assumed the green dinosaur was female and thus threw the bag over its head.

…I can truly say, 🎶I don't care anymore. As that great and wise philosopher Pogo taught us, Don't take life so serious; it ain't no-how permanent.

And although into each life a little pain must fall, there's a bluebird on my shoulder and everything is satisfactual.
Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream to be enjoyed, so do. Can't wait for the good luck to rain down on Friday the 13th. Watching and hoping for divine interventions great and small. Makes life fun.

48 I love Phil Collins and this song, T-Rex.

Thank you for the ONT.

We raised our boys on rock and roll. Some blues tossed in.

Our first boy was 2yrs when this song was written. He talked early and like a mini adult. He knew this one and when to pause and then sing again. Heard music at home and in the cars. He's the former professional musician (saxophone). Talent from his father.

Moving cross country he was 2.5yrs old and rocked and sang with us. Baby bro was 8wks old and oblivious.

Moving to FL from the Rockies in 1984 and "Home by the Sea" he sang loudly & proudly. Every band we loved they did as well.

Two years ago in Honolulu we had an hour drive from dinner to the condo one night. Younger son had Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" playing loudly in the car. The grands sang with us. At the end as it fades out our 3yr old crazy granddaughter sang out, "I want to know what love is" and we cracked up.

Love 'em. We dance and sing and they know this music of their grandparents!

I love rock and roll and the blues with some jazz. & classical.

Supermodel kisses and have a great night and wonderful Thursday.

I'm sure he will. Some of the other debunkers have. They all seemed to really like him, and in fact, they owe a good bit to him for providing them their content to have fun with. They seem to realize that.

Some of these flat earth/space is fake types are really vile people, with a few pure grifters in there. CC was not one of them, far from it. A lovable crank you might say. He was really funny.

That Phil Collins song was Phil's way of dealing with his wife walking out on him. She was, absolutely, pissed at this particular song. That whole album was basically Phil working through the split. I think she took off while he was touring for the previous album.

Yeah. I was mad at her, too.

His music was big then, but grew a larger audience (I think, no proof) with Miami Vice. Our date when we moved and the boys were asleep. Good times.

We'd go out now and then but it was rare as we didn't know anyone in FL.

Once the daughter of a RN I worked with and lived nearby babysat. We came home early and my dude took her home. About an hour later a jeep drove up with a HS boy and he had a big surprise when my guy had a chat with him in the driveway.

We trusted very few people with our boys.

One really good babysitter out of the few (another daughter of a coworker when they were older). She dug holes with them in the yard and built forts one summer. They loved her. Recorded music videos with them (I Shot the Sheriff is hilarious).

101 45 I am fortunate to have a WWII dad and to have cared for many of our greatest generation. Even some WWI vets, one who was gassed and had terrible tremors. Volunteered at the VA I worked at. They were not modest, they were heroic every day of their life. In war and work, raising families.
WTH happened?
Proud to have known them and served. Army rules, Navy drools.
Posted by: Don't fall for the doomers at November 11, 2026 10:28 PM (97ePz)

My dad's dad fought in WWI, as a Marine. He was in Mexico previous to that chasing Pancho Villa with Pershing. He was commended for pulling people out of no man's land into the trenches under fire, repeatedly, but he never displayed his medals or particularly talked about any of it. He was an artist, but he had to be a farmer, and he was always just about one bubble off plumb. I have one of his paintings. It is lovely.

My mom's dad was too old for WWI. My mom's mom, however, taught herself to be a draftsman and did that for Boeing along with twice weekly aircraft watch, all while raising five kids, one with Type I diabetes, and taking care of the old coot.

107 Best Genesis song:

"It's No Fun, Being an Illegal Alien"

The song isn't anything special, but it's purpose and ultimate reception is typical. Mike Rutherford wrote it while trying to get a VISA to tour the US, and ran into bureaucracy. He was bitching about the plight (satirically) of foreigners getting the run-around from the US.

HOWEVER, despite his Leftist intentions...no one will play the song anymore because Collins went over the top using a "Mexican" accent, wearing a poncho and sombrero and a moustache in the video. The usual suspects deemed this offensive to immigrants. So, despite it hitting #44 on Billboard, no one will play it anymore.

109 My dad was too young by far for WWII, but he became a welder in the shipyards in Seattle when he was 16, worked after high school every day, plus Saturdays, when they were turning out a ship every three days. He still had that welders card in his wallet when he died, five years ago. He was drafted in the mid 50's, and worked as an engineer for the army, PFC. When he got out, he swore he would never work for anyone ever again, and he didn't. He had his own practice and worked well into his 80's, albeit part time once he turned 70 and he always took off during moose hunting season.

115 Since the activity seems to be dragging tonight, I'll just kick us all off tonight:

There's actually ZERO chance that all 254 counties in Texas "moved" left in the recent election.

Like NO CHANCE.

Many of those counties are incredibly small. If you believe ALL 254 counties moved in lock-step in the same direction, you're basically willing to believe that "Jamie and her two kids voted Democrat this cycle" and that 500 miles away "Pat convinced a couple of friends to vote Democrat" too. Those counties are that small.

But go on, keep pretending that its statistically *likely* that all 254 counties in Texas "moved" all in the same direction.

254 counties. In Texas, a red state. And not ONE of them said..."I kind of like how this is going"...?

Every Republican (even worthless ones like Bush, McCain, and Mittens...er Romney) are *literally* Hitler according to liberals when they run and hold office. Afterwards and when a few years have passed, they deem the NEWEST office-seeker or office holder *literally Hitler* and pretend to wish that we could all return to the days when Republicans had *normal* candidates like Bush, McCain, and Mittens.

Then they'd use the videos as blackmail to force them to have sex with other men.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on those patterns. One analysis found that Republicans retained roughly 85% of President Trump’s 2024 share across Senate and gubernatorial races in a remarkably consistent formula that held across widely different states, an outcome with extremely low historical probability.

Related reporting documented multiple historical firsts, including Democrat Senate candidates in traditionally Republican states receiving more raw votes than Kamala Harris received in those same states in 2024, a scenario described as approaching zero probability in the modern record.

Additional work placed the odds of Democrats prevailing in 29 of 30 contested Senate races at roughly 1 in 5,510. Separate examinations have flagged voting-equipment issues, adjudication anomalies, and other irregularities reported on Election Day and in the days that followed.

Especially glad to have developed that quick recognition with certain trolls, thanks to their frequent employment of key words. Ahem - drumpf - cough.

242 236 It was unseasonably warm here today, so I put up the outdoor Christmas lights. Went ahead and turned them on, even though it's 'not quite right' to do so, so early...

The pretty colors make me happy and I need that, these days.

So far this week I have put up 14 jars of ham bean soup, 12 jars of beef veggie soup, and 14 jars of chicken tortilla soup. Had to dry most of my garden veggies this year, because we were living in the camper and freezing takes up too much room. Soup is a great way to use dried veggies. And soup, maybe with biscuits or a bagel, is a great dinner in the dead of winter. I can, therefore I am.

247 Good job, tcn! I applaud your thrifty ways!

It was easier when hubby was home, to cook just enough for a day or two for us both.

Now, it's just me... and snacks for hubby sometimes. His diet is limited: soft foods and low sodium. (bleh!) But I do what I can to keep him happy.

Institutional food SUCKS, but it's gotten worse lately. Just unbelievably sh1tty... the bean-counters have turned the screws *hard* at his facility.

There's only one other place I've found as an alternative for him, and put him on the (long!) waiting list. Ugh.

I was taken aback early this morning when I learned that "CC", "Chris from Westchester County", a lovable flat- earther with the fabulous Hollywood hair, passed away on Nov. 3.

Here's his obit:

And, if not familiar with his lunatic, but entertaining rants, here's his Youtube channel:

He was just 55, and there is no idea what it was from the public info, but he did look sort of gaunt in his last videos. I also learned that his mother died the day before he did.

257 On the beet juice thing. When I was recovering from chemo and pretty feeble, I discovered that certain medication that increases nitric oxide in your system, you know, for a good time, increased my ability to work out. For instance, I could do 30% more push ups.

Beet root juice does something similar. Took it for a long time before I discovered L Citrulline did the same thing without the bad taste. Cutting beet juice with cherry juice sounds like a good idea particularly since cherry juice can help some people get to sleep faster.

Anyway, at 72 I know long need that certain medication and I'm definitely not feeble.

"It breeds familiarity, and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only; Smith, Jones, Baker, whatever.

And you are to refer to me as 'Chief! Do I make myself clear?"

"Aye, Aye, Chief!"

"Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?"

75 Firefighters dig through rubble after NYC building collapses because of Global Warming.

The collapse killed and trapped people in wreckage.
Firefighters dug through the rubble of a three-story building in Brooklyn on Wednesday after it collapsed at the edge of a construction site that has been affected by Global Warming causing the materials to fail, killing at least one person and trapping others beneath the wreckage.

CNN also learned that was accelerated by Trump's policies...

91 I'll try to describe his silver star because it's a great story.

He was near a North Vietnamese ammunition dump. Sporadic gunfire. He got a phone call from a colonel not in his line of command telling him there were nine men trapped there, please don't return fire, we can't figure out how to rescue them.

Wendell (I did say we were twins) said, call and tell them I'll drive my jeep as fast as I can through the dump, and then turn and drive it as slow as I can back again, and it's their job to cling to the jeep however they can.

The colonel said, The general will never agree to that!

Wendell said, Well, then, don't tell him.

And hung up and did exactly what he said. He was holding a couple on, others were being held by buddies, not even touching the jeep. He got them all back.

I should probably mention that he was 6'6" and three hundred pounds. That may have made things easier.

Dad was inducted in September of '44. Although the troops he did basic with were shipped to Europe, he ended up in the Philippines (due to the Army losing his vaccine records and forcing him to revaccinate, making him sick long enough to not leave with the guys he trained with.

115 The most prominent historical figures and claims associated with him include:
Hillary Clinton: His wife of over 50 years.
Gennifer Flowers: A former Arkansas state employee and actress who alleged a long-term extramarital affair with Clinton in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Monica Lewinsky: A former White House intern with whom Clinton acknowledged having an inappropriate relationship during his presidency in the late 1990s.
Other historical allegations and accusers from past decades include figures such as Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey.
For an overview of the former president's marital and relationship history, you can review the Bill Clinton Dating History on Instagram or explore historical context via the Ranker Guide to Bill Clinton's Relationships.
(Note: If you were instead asking about the 2024 internet drama involving musician Clinton Kane and his ex-girlfriends like Brooke Schofield or Mia, that refers to a social media controversy rather than the Clinton political family).

Kennedy Nepo Crones Sue Trump to Block Construction of National Cemetery Arch, Whining That It... Might Cast Shadows on the Graves of Kennedys

It's at times like this where I think, maybe the French Revolution was a good idea.

RFK Jr.'s siblings sue Trump to stop 'Triumphal Arch' from 'casting shadows' on family graves

Robert and Ethel Kennedy, President Kennedy, Senator Ted Kennedy, WWII casualty Joe Kennedy were all laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Arch would "also cast a shadow over our democratic principles," family says.

Well we can't have shadows falling on the graves of aristocrats!

Seven of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s siblings, plus his nephew and cousin, are suing President Trump, the Interior Department and National Park Service among others to stop Trump's planned "Triumphal Arch," citing its unavoidable blocking of light over their family's graves at Arlington National Cemetery, which are "sacred spaces."
"Our parents, Robert and Ethel Kennedy, and our uncles, President John F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy, are laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Our uncle Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., who lost his life serving our country in World War II, is also memorialized there," RFK Jr.'s siblings Rory Kennedy and Maxwell Kennedy said on behalf of the family in a statement released by their lawyers at Democracy Defenders Fund.
"We believe Donald Trump has violated the laws and procedures established by Congress to protect this most sacred national memorial," they said, portraying the arch as an attack on democracy itself.
"A towering arch casting shadows across the graves of our father, mother, and uncles, as well as the graves of so many who have served our country, would also cast a shadow over our democratic principles, undermining the safeguards established by our elected representatives to protect this hallowed ground for generations to come," they said.
The fund makes clear the family sees Trump's plan as a personal affront.
"The arch would block views of the Kennedy Gravesites and Eternal Flame from Arlington Memorial Bridge -- a sightline specially chosen by the Kennedy family," it says.

Though the "activist" U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan temporarily blocked the start of construction for at least two weeks in response to Virginia and D.C. legal action, the Trump administration is "confident we will be fully vindicated as this litigation proceeds," Ingle said.

The Kennedy graves already have a shadow across them. I hadn't realized that such a thicket of them had grown up there. Strange.

Say, what's Ted doing in Arlington anyway? He wasn't in the military, he maxed out as senator, and was demonstrably a miserable coward and traitor.. After Robert was killed, the family made Ted get up off the living room sofa and get busy running for office. So he drank and womanized in Georgetown instead of Boston.

Fun fact: Ted's eternal flame doesn't have a gas bill. They stuck a wick in his navel, and the alcohol will burn for centuries.

The Republican party will make him a saint just like they did with reagan. By the time he finally croaks on the toilet, they'll still do it and we'll be dealing with their revisionist nonsense for decades

"That was a President who didn't fear speaking his mind! That was a President who wasn't afraid to bring God back into the White House!" I can see it already.

this lawsuit almost certainly won't work...but it doesn't need to. It just needs to delay things long enough for trump to no longer have the ability to build things.

after Trump is gone, all monuments and anything to memorialize him will be torn down.

Triumph over what? The poors? The charges? The impeachments?

The whole point of it is that it would cast shadows over military graves. He sees himself as above them.

Why is he so obsessed with the Kennedys

He wants to be JFK, desperately. Why do you think he made such a big deal about the bandage on his ear? He wants the credit without the brain matter required of being a genuinely memorable president.

"The arch would also cast a shadow over the Kennedys' graves, especially in the early morning when the family traditionally visits."

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

So the Kennedys consider themselves more important in American history than George Washington? Washington is buried at his own home while these quasi-royals demand a national spot that outshines everybody else. Since they object they should be disinterred and re-buried at their Hyannis Port compound where they will not be overshadowed by anyone.

Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. dramatically expanded his fortune during the Great Depression and the 1940s by pulling out of the stock market before the 1929 crash, short-selling stocks, and rolling his capital into distressed commercial and residential real estate.

A single Chicago building - The Merchandise Mart - became the financial backbone of the family, generating millions in steady rent every year—and eventually selling in 1998 for around $625 million.

Kennedy set up massive irrevocable trusts for each of his nine children, ensuring none of them ever had to worry about money or hold a traditional job to support themselves.

That steady real estate income paid for the costly, groundbreaking political campaigns of Jack, Bobby, and Ted, allowing them to run for the House, Senate, and Presidency without relying solely on outside donors.

It continues to pay through today.

The American Kennedy's also descended from the broader Gaelic O'Kennedy heritage, rather than royal sovereignty.

Joseph Jr. and younger brother, President John Kennedy, deserve their due. Otherwise, the not so great 'clan' is solely in name vs merit.

160 One structural point that cuts against the "they rewrote the Constitution" reading, though not in a way that flatters Republicans: the referral is the tell. If the resolution had the votes it would be on the floor this week. Sending it to Judiciary means leadership has the count and the conference would rather not put a recorded vote in the file. Crow saying "just fire him" out loud is a member describing a vote-count problem, not a constitutional theory.
The more interesting question is what Hill is managing. A seven-term member from deep-red Arkansas who just won narrowly and won't rule out a yes isn't weighing Hegseth's war conduct. He is pricing a primary. That repositioning is already visible in the 2028 field opening up after the midterm losses, and it is the same reflex in a different suit: one factual account of it, with separate Left and Right readings of what it means, is here: https://tinyurl.com/2yb96qt9

@SteveCortes
Joe Biden now claims his 2024 presidential debate against President Trump, which forced him to drop out of the race, was not very consequential:
"To me it was not very consequential. First of all I thought there would be another debate, which there wasn't. Notwithstanding the fact that there wasn't another debate, it didn't disturb me because it wasn't consequential."
Just 24 days after the "not very consequential" presidential debate, Joe Biden ended his campaign for President.

Ofcom [The UK's big brother censorship organization] indicated in a hearing today that it is going to start pushing for arrest warrants for American refusers of the Online Safety Act.
It is wildly inappropriate for a foreign country to threaten Americans for exercising our constitutional rights.

The GRANITE Act would shield an American from extradition, and any time Ofcom threatened an American in this way, the American would be able to drag Ofcom - the UK's Internet censor - into federal court to confirm the order is unenforceable.
Congress: pass the GRANITE Act!

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson doesn't care that voters passed Initiative 638 on Election Day to keep biological males out of girls' sports. On Tuesday, a week after the election, she posted that she supports the Seattle Public Schools Board's decision to challenge the measure because "every young person in Seattle deserves to thrive as their authentic self."
That's not governing. That's ignoring the result. Washington voters approved the initiative to protect girls' sports with a clear majority--about 57 percent--even while Democrats made gains elsewhere on the ballot. I-638 requires medical documentation confirming biological sex for girls' competition. That law takes effect in December. Wilson and the school board are moving to fight it in court anyway.

Well zhe's been identified and arrested.

Zhe claims that he's allowed to physically attack conservatives because "free speech doesn't mean freedom from [violent] consequences."

And zhe says zhe was "backed into a corner" by people peacefully handing out leaflets.

Do these people understand that many of us are thisclose to agreeing, enthusiastically, that we are allowed to beat (or worse) people we disagree with?

Texas authorities have identified a man accused of attacking students at a Turning Point USA tent on the University of Texas at Tyler campus Tuesday in the latest attack on the conservative youth organization whose founder was assassinated last year.
Smith County booking records identify the suspect Ciro Tomlian.
Video of the incident shows a man wearing a cape and a round-brimmed hat as he threw an American flag on the ground and swung a cane at a group of people. He is a former student who was not enrolled at the school at the time of the attack, according to authorities.
Tomlian faces two charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and another of assault causing bodily injury after allegedly striking TPUSA students with a cane.
In the video, which shows the end of the encounter and Tomlian's arrest by campus police, the suspect grabs an American flag, throws it over his shoulder, gives the students the middle finger and can be heard saying "Back the f-- off you fascist pieces of s--."
A woman off-camera tells him to "stay away," and he raises the cane before taking a checked swing in her direction.
The man identified as Tomlian screams "back up!" again, and the woman tells someone else to "just back up."
Then a male voice, also off-camera, tells Tomlian, "No one's scared of you."
Charlie Kirk speaks at a TPUSA event
That's when he swings the cane again, apparently striking the speaker, before someone else runs over and grabs the cane. Police arrive moments later and place the suspect in handcuffs.
Once cuffed, he appears to paint the incident as self-defense and says, "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences."
"I apologize officer," he says as he's led away. "I was backed into a corner."

We'll see if the school expels zhim.

Boys do not need to be socialized. They do not need to be taught the "right way" to read or the "right POVs" to enjoy. They do not need lectures or preaching. They do not need "the message."
Boys need dragons to slay and princesses to save (and ones who want to be saved, natch). Boys need danger. They need risks and stakes. They need to know what death is and what it means. They need to know what failure looks like so they know how to cope with it when Real Life comes calling. Most of all, they need stories that allow them to be who and what they are without being told why they should be something else.
Boys are not broken girls; they should not be treated as such.
If you REALLY care about getting boys to read again, pay attention to the stories being shared in other media that they like, and emulate those.
Make no mistake: this viewpoint is evil. It deserves no less than to be called out as such.

11 What else was not very consequential?

"Big! Big! Big!… New Information by “Truth Is Freedom” Reveals Near Impossibility of 2026 Results – 00.15% Chance These Numbers Are Legit"

the point is not that "we lost the midterms", the point was the consistency of the 15% from Trump's 2024 numbers across the counties. Like the machines just did some "2020 style drop and roll", which worked so well in 2020.

I had one statistics class about 50 years ago, and am not really up to the task of full analysis, but we really need to count the ballots of some of these more conservative counties.

What's funny about Marxism in view of Democratic taxation, is that the chief concern of Marx was about a Capitalist overlord stealing away your labor in not giving all the money from the sale.

Democrats just want to take some of the money you earn and give it to scammers.

And it's still money taken out of your pocket (labor "stolen") by overlords.

It's only the by simply doubling down on the ideology that the government taking your labor is "inherently fairer" than somebody supplying capital to allow you to complete your labor.

82 Star Tribune glorifying Walz's tenure with the fraud as a "tiny speck" in the galaxy of Trump grifting. Can't hate these people enough -
----------------
Yes, the social services fraud was a failure of oversight, but Walz has taken more than his share of the blame for that since its roots predate his tenure. I expect eventually the significance of Minnesota’s fraud will settle into its rightful place as a tiny speck amid the galaxy of grifting by Trump and his enablers.

Whatever one thinks about Walz’s policies, he led thoughtfully and compassionately. He didn’t resort to churlish insults. “Weird” and “creepy” were the meanest words he offered up for the D.C. Republicans.

He also chose to leave at the right time. It is not easy to relinquish power, but Walz did. And then he did another hard thing: He stayed quiet on the sidelines. He didn’t push back or become a distraction when Klobuchar kicked off her campaign for governor by declaring she was not content with the status quo.

He didn’t punch back late last month when Trump said on Truth Social, “Can you imagine if a Republican stole money like Governor Tim Walz stole from Minnesota? They’d give you the electric chair.”

135 MN is toast. He allegedly has a wife who came here illegally, too. From Alpha News:

St. Cloud daycare owner Abdi Daisane made history earlier this month by winning a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives, becoming the first Somali lawmaker to represent central Minnesota.

But Alpha News has learned that just five years earlier, he was pursuing a seat in another nation’s legislature — more than 8,000 miles away in his East African homeland.

According to an English translation of a October 2021 campaign video published by Jubbaland TV, Daisane, speaking directly to the camera, says, “I am a candidate for Member of Parliament in the House of the People of the Federal Republic of Somalia.”

He continues, saying, “I am a Somali citizen hailing from Jubbaland. I was born in the nation’s capital, Mogadishu, in 1988,” according to the translation.

Jubbaland is one of the federal states that exist within Somalia.

While his political ambitions in Somalia appear to have ended in defeat, Daisane found electoral success in America five years later, defeating Republican Mike Conway last week and flipping what was a Republican-held, St. Cloud-area seat in the Minnesota House.

169 >>>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just promised "many, many investigations" to round up the huge number of "criminals" that Democrats see in their political opponents. None of this bodes well for the Republic as we restart the type of J6 show trials that marked the prior Democratic House.

The difference is the last time the Dems had the DOJ. They don't now and won't for the next two years.

I would be entirely happy if the only things we see out of Congress for the next two years in investigation after investigation. Anything in the way of legislation will only be terrible, so we don't need any of that. As long as Trump keeps his veto pen full of ink, we should be fine.

Lefty Hipster Doofus and King of Nepotism James Gunn Replaced by Skydance With a... Christian Normie

As you can imagine, there is much freaking out about this by the very-normal people who literally freak out about everything.

First: Why were Gunn and his business partner Peter Safran fired from co-leading DC on Film?

And note that it has been confirmed that he was fired, or instructed to "resign."

Variety:

After "Superman" landed in theaters last summer, former Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was ready to pop Champagne. Although the movie had only been playing on the big screen for three days, he touted the "bold 10-year plan" of DC Studios co-chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran and promised "the DC vision is clear" and "the momentum is real."
Fast forward a year and a half, and those plans have imploded. Gunn and Safran were dismissed from the top of the comic book empire, with Marvel Studios alum Jeremy Latcham taking over as president and chief creative officer of DC Studios.
...
The executive shuffle is yet another setback for DC Studios, which has struggled for years to compete with Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe. Their short-lived leadership stint at DC follows multiple turnovers over the past decade, starting with comic book veterans Geoff Johns and Jon Berg and then Walter Hamada....
Gunn's "Superman," starring David Corenswet -- the duo's first big swing as bosses -- was touted as a hit with $618 million against a $225 million budget. Those ticket sales were promising enough, given the general decline in popularity of comic book movies. But they didn't necessarily signal the kind of lasting enthusiasm that spawns an interconnected universe. Momentum all but evaporated with July's money-loser "Supergirl," which flopped with $126 million globally against a $170 million budget. And while October's "Clayface" performed modestly with $109 million against a $44 million budget, sources suggest the body-horror thriller won't break even until the studio factors in downstream revenues.

I really liked -- maybe loved -- Gunn's reboot of The Suicide Squad. Some objected to him being put in charge of DC on Film -- the only thing he knows how to do, they said, was make crude jokes, inappropriate for young or normie audiences, and remake Guardians of the Galaxy, making every movie, even ones about a singular hero, into another story of a team of misfits learning together.

I dismissed that. Just because someone is good at one thing doesn't mean they aren't good at other things.

But I was wrong: He is incapable of writing anything but Guardians of the Galaxy Part IV.

And this is weird: Instead of focusing on DC's best-known heroes, he announced he'd be making movies about the third and fourth and fifth string heroes like -- and I know only stone-cold DC fans will even know what I'm talking about here -- Creature Commandos, Booster Gold, and The Authority.

If you're not a DC fan, you just read a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing.

Let me tell you that as a DC fan myself, they only mean slightly more than nothing to me, too.

Insiders have raised eyebrows at Gunn and Safran's decision to focus on lesser-known characters, like Superman's cousin Kara El-Zor, aka Supergirl, and the Batman villain Clayface, rather than building out the franchise with marquee names.

I will give Gunn a half-pass for this choice, because the prior regime ruined many of the top DC characters, like Flash and Wonder Woman. (If you're thinking "But Wonder Woman was good," then I know you didn't see Wonder Woman '84. It was a disaster.)

Television efforts, too, were uneven. DC's main small-screen success was "The Penguin," a "Batman" spinoff led by Colin Farrell that was greenlit before Gunn and Safran took over. But the rest of the slate has generated less fanfare. Gunn's "Peacemaker" series, anchored by John Cena, debuted in 2022 before he stepped into the studio job. Although the initial season was popular, the second season -- which launched three years later -- failed to match the buzz of the first. "Lanterns," their first live-action TV show, had strong viewership and averaged 19 million viewers globally per episode going into the finale. Yet an insider at the company suggests the crime drama isn't quite capturing the zeitgeist, pointing out the show has yet to be renewed for a second season.

That one was also a disaster -- an anti-white woke screed about black supremacy.

Here's the good news: The Ellisons have decided to move away from the tasteless trashy woke hipster towards... a stone-cold normie who used to work for Marvel, when --- wait for it -- Marvel was good. He was part of Marvel from Iron Man through Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was just before the end of Marvel's golden age.

Internally, there's hope that Latcham -- an executive who helped shape the MCU -- will get back to basics with DC.
"Jeremy is the kind of guy who would go to Comic-Con to get an autograph from someone," says another source, "not someone who wants to be there signing autographs."

When Latcham was at Marvel, he'd question some edgy or divisive material, stating, "I don't think my grandmother would like this." Other executives would joke and propose things "if that would be all right with Jeremy's grandmother."

But apparently Jeremy's Grandmother was a good proxy for 85% of the normie audience.

Apparently Jermey Latcham is a Christian whose entire family lives near him on a giant spread in Texas, and who is dedicated to "mainstream, family-friendly, Christian-friendly" movies.

You can smell the artificial hormones burning over this.

THR:

It was Jeremy Latcham, a mild-mannered producer who was once a key member of Marvel Studios' exec team before moving to Texas to go independent.
An occasional foray into big-budget moviemaking such as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves notwithstanding...

Which is a really solid movie, despite failing at the box office.

...Latcham was focusing on inspirational movies such as the Wright Brothers feature Flyer for the faith-focused studio Wonder Project, where he also helped make House of David, a TV show about the biblical figure. The producer is known to be vocal about his Christian faith and his desire to make uplifting projects.
"I had this nagging feeling that I needed to do more movies that had deeper meaning to me," Latcham said of Wonder Project during an appearance on the Bible Bros podcast while promoting the Nate Bargatze comedy The Breadwinner. "Let's be the HBO for the faith and family audience. Let's try to make movies and television shows that restore faith in things worth believing in."

Despite being Christian, Latcham apparently fought with Marvel to give James Gunn the Guardians of the Galaxy gig.

So he's not against edgy or trashy material -- in the appropriate case.

In a twist, Latcham was instrumental in Gunn's rise, advocating for the niche director's hiring on Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy, which turned Gunn into an A-list filmmaker who commands eight-figure paydays for his directing work.

DC's heroes, who are intended to play to broad, traditional normie audiences including children, are not the right characters for the Gunn treatment.

There is speculation he might also clean house at DC comics itself, which has been on a mission to forefront homosexuality and sexuality-bend characters like the most popular Robin, Tim Drake, and the formerly-popular Superboy, into gays and bisexuals.

This, of course, is causing all sorts of shrieking and screaming.

Some of the people who have lobbied and demanded for every other DC character to be turned gay are complaining that the Latcham might jam his personal beliefs down our throats.

Can you even imagine such a thing??!!>

But no he won't, because he's a professional, not a bent and twisted activist.

I hope Latcham doesn't include any further material like this entirely-inappropriate scene from The Dark Knight Rises.

His grandma would definitely not approve.

Sorry, I just love Pete Holmes' Batman.

I'd like some creativity, please. Maybe someone can stop studying pronouns and concentrate on communication to scribble down some realistic and relevant dialogue. Perhaps, someone who isn't buried in comic books will, actually, tell an engrossing story.

And, just once, I want to see an explosion on the big screen where they don't have someone walking away with their back to it implying indifference. I'd like to see the realistic response. "Expletive expletive expletive..."

46 I've said this before but if you wanted to do something a little different with the DC characters do the Injustice story line. If you make Superman a little less over the top evil and Batman a little less saintly it can actually work.

And you get to have Supergirl as an important character in exactly the sort of role she is supposed to be in

Except for some moments in the animated series in the '90s, I have yet to see Batman depicted as a detective.

The Batman of the Silver Age comics was supposed to be Sherlock Holmes in a cape and mask. When do we ever see him doing that?

61 If you want to rag on James Gunn because of his politics or his friends, go ahead. But of all the Superhero flicks of the past 20 years, James Gunn movies are in the top half.

Which isn't saying much, given the quality of the lower half.

I know I'm apparently in the minority. But I'm really tired of superhero movies. They're pretty much an automatic "nope" for me no matter the quality at this point.

If people start using an acronym to define your movie franchise...it's been around too long. If people refer to a movie franchise as a "Universe", it's been around too long. If Nick Cage shows up in any of your sequels, it's been around too long. And, finally, if you number your sequels and most people don't know Roman numerals well enough to figure out which sequel it is; It's been around too long.

Bonus: If you have to negotiate with Vin Diesel to get you film made, you're better off going into another line of work.

114 >>> If you want to rag on James Gunn because of his politics or his friends, go ahead. But of all the Superhero flicks of the past 20 years, James Gunn movies are in the top half.

I didn't really like either of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies much and never bothered with Part 3.

I know that's not the majority opinion, but I thought they were too stupid and silly and the "science" fiction element was absurd. It's loonier than Star Wars.

I completely missed that train. Never liked them more than at a "myeh" level.

He's nearing the end of production.

He was fired as co-CEO of DCU films, not from all his WB gigs.

Man of Tomorrow will finish and release. It's anything not in production that's getting stopped.

In related news: Matt Reeves had to leave the production of The Batman II (no clear word why, but the rumor is sickness in the family), and Steven Soderbergh just called him up and offered to finish the film for him. Soderbergh is a good dude.

them crapping on cities like NY and LA is just cope because rural areas and towns sucks. I live in one and there’s nothing to do other than churches and highschool sports

So I did a little research and it seems to come from Richard Goldschmidt in 1940 who came up with the idea of the "Hopeful Monster" hypothesis unfortunately for him right before more research was done into this area...

When Clark comes to pick up Lois for their date in the first movie, having just departed from her as Superman, we see him get up the nerve to tell her about his secret identity. He stands tall, and suddenly that's *Superman* inside that Kent costume. (Then he loses his nerve, stoops, and is hapless Clark again.)

At the end of II, as well, he has a moment in Lois's office with her. She knows his identity now. And he stands there in suit, tie, and glasses -- yet we see it's *Superman* there, just wearing those items.

Excellent movie in all ways. Wonderfully comic writing that goes serious when the plot demands. Excellent crisp directing. Great acting.

The plot concerns two CIA guys who run revolutions in other countries taking a break for a week on Easter Island.

BONUS! Since we've just had our own color revolution here in the US. This movie hits quite a bit differently than the writer/director probably intended.

Check it out.

181 Reeve also did his research. He read the old Silver Age comics, and his "swimming through the air" flying technique was modeled on the way Curt Swan used to draw Superman in the '60s.

185 Reeve also proposed that they change the flying rig so that Superman would "bank" as he turned. And they had to do that with wires (at least for the landing/taking off sequences).

Have been hearing on national talk radio a lot of buzz about a Stallone Biopic called "I Play Rocky" -- which, for those unaware of his "Cinderella Story" should be enlightening (it's the American Dream writ large, at a time in the mid-70s when the USA needed a patriotic shot in the arm).

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson doesn’t care that voters passed Initiative 638 on Election Day to keep biological males out of girls’ sports. On Tuesday, a week after the election, she posted that she supports the Seattle Public Schools Board’s decision to challenge the measure because “every young person in Seattle deserves to thrive as their authentic self.”

That’s not governing. That’s ignoring the result. Washington voters approved the initiative to protect girls’ sports with a clear majority—about 57 percent—even while Democrats made gains elsewhere on the ballot. I-638 requires medical documentation confirming biological sex for girls’ competition. That law takes effect in December. Wilson and the school board are moving to fight it in court anyway.

This is a problem with ideology-based politics.

If the people are with you, you shout about the Will of the People. If the People aren't with you, you lecture "This is not who we are."

Ideology agrees with the people when the people agree with the ideology. But "knows better" when the people do not agree.

>and The Authority

If DC were smart, they could wait for a couple more Wanda/Jean Grey movies and then do a big cinematic live-action version of _What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?_. Swap out The Elite/Authority for thinly veiled expys of all the Marvel black-and-grey morality characters.

F*ck me, David Corenswet is so wholesome I'd pay full ticket price to watch him totally lose it as Superman on Fake Wanda Maximoff and her sympathizers. Hell, you could throw in scenes with middle-aged housewives arguing online that Lindsey - er, Wanda - is just totally innocent and Superman is the real villain. The script pretty much writes itself.

CNN Director: We Focus on the Race of the Criminal When He's White But Hide It When He's a "Minority"
Plus: The Media Gins Up a Fresh Race Hoax

You don't say.

You do not say.

This is a hidden-camera sting admission, of course. He would never admit this publicly.

This is standard CNN practice. Jake Tapper is very big on reporting crimes committed against Jews -- but, when black men were playing the knockout game with Jews in NYC, he did not report it, or if he mentioned it, he made sure he didn't run the video or name the perpetrators.

But he would generally complain of violence against Jews while avoiding any mention of the actual perpetrators of what he was talking about.

But then came the Tree of Life attack, where a synagogue was attacked by an Acceptable and Approved Villain, a white man. And then Jake Tapper really talked up the problem of violence against Jews, with the none-too-subtle suggestion that White Men, Republicans in particular, were responsible for it.

You see the same thing with rapes. White feminist women love to complain about rape... so long as it's a made-up allegation about presumably white Cornell students. (Note: It turns out most of them weren't white, but they assumed they were.)

Russell Brand, safely white, makes for an excellent Morality Play about concent.

Muslim rape gangs, on the other hand? Never heard of them. What are you talking about, Racist?

Hey @ABC�
Why did you conveniently leave out that Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, the suspect who threatened to blow up a plane flying from Newark to New Orleans, is an illegal alien from Honduras who had ALREADY been deported TWICE?
That�s not a minor detail. That�s a HUGE part of the story. Why aren�t you reporting it? 🧐

But meanwhile: The media can't stop reporting on the latest race hoax. Some drunk and rowdy college girls knocked on doors at night and chimped out -- hooted like chimps. One door they knocked on belonged to a black girl, so it's a Racial Attack Like None We've Ever Seen Before.

Except... they knocked on doors at random. The media isn't interested in reporting on the white people bothered by the chimping-out.

The amount of outrage this story is generating is insane. Network TV is dedicated tons of airtime to the harmless antics of white coeds and pretending it's Mississippi Burning.

18 Speaking of Russell Brand, he got 10 years for one conviction of a totally bogus "rape" that happened almost 20 years ago, under comically ridiculous circumstances that make Train Hoe's Cornell accusations look legit by comparison.

Two years ago, after a large British investigation into child sexual exploitation, the following foreign muslims were tried and convicted. They got much less prison time than Brand did.

Huzaefa Aleboud was convicted of two counts of rape, assault by penetration, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Five and a half years.

Hamoud Al-Soaimi was convicted of three counts of sexual assault and assaulting a child under 13 by penetration. Two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Mohamed Badreddin was convicted of six counts of rape, one count of assault by penetration, and violent disorder. Got 13 years in prison, but for 6x as many rapes as Brand.

1. I'd like to see the video of that, if it exists. What does "hooted like chimps" mean? I'll bet what they did really wasn't referencing chimps, just drunken stupid antics.

2. When you hear the dog whistle, you're the dog. It's sad how many black people get triggered over even the most tangential reference -- even obviously unintentional -- to anything that could possibly be considered simian. I think they have the problem, not white people.

3. If someone references a "devil" -- or even flatout calls me a "white devil" -- I don't get triggered because I'm being compared to a demonic being, which is much worse than being compared to a chimp.

Agree. Drunk college kids acting like drunk college kids? That should be the end of the story. Media once again explains the appropriate emotional response, identifies the villains (always the same group), and makes sure everyone gets the “approved” interpretation. Rinse. Repeat. Ad nauseam. But it seems to work on a large part of the population.

Trump and Hegseth Honor the Heroes on This Veterans Day

In addition to honoring the heroes, Trump also made the case for the war with Iran, although he also promised it would be over "soon."

During a speech at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, President Donald Trump thanked U.S. service members for their ongoing sacrifices and argued that the U.S. has been pitted against Iran since 1979, when the Islamic Revolution happened.
President Donald Trump defended the war in Iran and said it will be over "soon" during his Veterans Day address on Wednesday.
Trump made the statement while speaking to a crowd of veterans and their families at Arlington National Cemetery. He highlighted the 1983 Iran-backed bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut and argued that Iran has been at war with the U.S. for decades.
"America did not start a war with Iran. Iran has been waging war on America since 1979. They should have been taken care of a long time ago," Trump said.

A brief background on Veterans Day:

The First World War killed as many as 22 million people worldwide and left some 23 million more wounded. An estimated 53,000 of those killed were American service members. Another 204,000 Americans would return home wounded.
World War I ushered in a new age of warfare: industrial and mechanical innovations killed, wounded, and maimed troops on the battlefield in ways previously unimaginable. Tanks, machine guns, and poison gas forever scarred the men in the trenches in ways they could never forget -- and Americans back home took notice.
On the anniversary of the armistice, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first commemoration of Armistice Day, saying:
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
From Armistice Day to Veterans Day
From that day until 1926, Armistice Day became a day Americans recognized unofficially, closing shops at 11 a.m. so people could line the streets for parades, public meetings, and prayer. By 1926, 27 states had already recognized the day as a holiday, so Congress decided to call it Armistice Day for the entire country. In 1938, November 11th became an official public holiday.
But "The War to End All Wars" didn't end any wars. It was just a prelude to World War II, the largest and costliest war in human history, in terms of both money and lives spent fighting it. World War II didn't end wars, either. After the Allies defeated the Axis Powers, the Cold War began, and in 1950, its first battles were fought on the Korean Peninsula. The United States, less than 40 years after the end of World War I, was suddenly filled with millions of war veterans, all of whom had fought for American freedoms and ideals.
The National Recognition of Veterans Day
In 1954, a year after the end of the Korean War, veteran service organizations lobbied Congress to amend the Act of 1938 to change "Armistice Day" to "Veterans Day" and make November 11th a day to honor all veterans.
banner
"I have today signed a proclamation calling upon all of our citizens to observe Thursday, November 11, 1954, as Veterans Day," President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in a letter to the administrator of Veterans Affairs. "It is my earnest hope that all veterans, their organizations, and the entire citizenry will join hands to ensure [sic] proper and widespread observance of this day."

I guess I'm not a good patriot because I did not know this:

Every Veterans Day at 11:11 a.m., the sun lines up perfectly with the Anthem Veterans Memorial in Anthem, Arizona. https://t.co/4ybRODhyc8
— James Lucas (@JamesLucasIT) November 11, 2026

Some explanation:

I AM BLAZE THE CURIOUS⚕️☢️
@Blazethecurious
DID YOU KNOW??
The Anthem Veterans Memorial in Anthem, Arizona, was mathematically engineered so that every single year on Veterans Day, November 11th, at precisely 11:11 AM, the sun aligns through five towering vertical pillars to cast a brilliant solar spotlight directly onto the Great Seal of the United States embedded in the pavement below.
Anthem Veterans Memorial is a striking tribute located within Anthem Community Park. Designed by local resident Jim Martin and engineered by a multidisciplinary team including architects and astronomers, the memorial was dedicated on Veterans Day in 2011.
The monument's core feature consists of five cylindrical, white marble pillars ranging in height from 17 to 30 feet, representing the five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard). Each pillar features precisely cut elliptical apertures designed to channel sunlight at a very specific solar azimuth and elevation angle.
When November 11th arrives, the sun reaches the exact point in the autumn sky where its rays pass straight through all five openings simultaneously, creating a dazzling solar spotlight effect over the bronze Great Seal medallion on the brick floor.
The Astronomical Engineering of the Monument:
How precise celestial mechanics and architectural design unite to honor veterans:
1. The Five Pillars
Structural Symbolism
Five graduated white marble columns represent the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard, arranged in Department of Defense order of precedence.
2. Elliptical Openings
Precision Apertures
Engineers calculated exact seasonal sun angles to carve specific viewing slots into the tops of the pillars, accounting for latitude and orbital tilt.
3. The Solar Illumination
November 11, 11:11 AM
At precisely 11 minutes past 11 o'clock on the 11th month, light rays converge seamlessly to illuminate the bronze Great Seal on the plaza floor.
4. Honoring Service Members
Commemorative Pavers
Surrounding the focal monument, thousands of engraved bricks bear the names of veterans from across the United States.
More Surprising Facts About the Memorial:
A. The Ordinal Sequence: The pillars are ordered strictly by military precedence, Army on the left, followed by the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard on the right.
B. Sacred Paver Ground: The bricks that pave the memorial plaza are separated into distinct rings containing personalized inscriptions honoring living and deceased veterans, funded entirely by community donations and families.
C. Year-Round Solar Movement: While the precise spotlight effect only occurs once a year on Veterans Day, the shadow cast by the sun shifts continuously across the plaza throughout the day and year, functioning as a massive architectural sundial.
SUMMARILY!
The Anthem Veterans Memorial uses precise astronomical alignment to spotlight the U.S. Great Seal every November 11th at 11:11 AM through five marble pillars representing the military branches.
Hopefully you've learnt something new today?

19 Like everyone, I wish the war had been ended sooner. But I'm not going to argue about tactics, people much more capable than me are handling it.

The only thing I wish Trump had done differently is spending more time talking directly to the country about why we went and why it's worth the sacrifice. He allowed the narrative to be written for him instead of leading with his own.

I think it would've given him a lot more support.

22 >>>Did they build in a mechanism to readjust it periodically? Over time, it's going to go out of alignment.

Looks like they did.

Due to the leap years discrepancy between the official and astronomical calendar the effect can be observed at least one day before or after Veterans Day as well.

From Wikipedia.

23 I heard the event was hijacked today by the free palestine crowd, shameful.

---------------
There is a symbolic "sundial" effect at Victory Memorial Drive in Minneapolis (spanning into Robbinsdale), though it is not a traditional sundial.

On Veterans Day (November 11) at precisely 11:11 AM (when the sun is shining), the sun aligns behind the park's tall flagpole.

The flagpole casts a giant shadow directly over the Armistice Day stone marker, honoring the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the World War I ceasefire went into effect.

25 The Anthem memorial is breathtaking, but there seems to be an error in the description, unless I'm completely missing something, which is possible.

The monument's core feature consists of five cylindrical, white marble pillars ranging in height from 17 to 30 feet, representing the five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard). Each pillar features precisely cut elliptical apertures designed to channel sunlight at a very specific solar azimuth and elevation angle.

The openings are elliptical. The pillars are rectangular, not cylindrical.

28 My grandsons' grade school did a Veteran's Day tribute yesterday. Surprisingly patriotic. We had to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. They brought in the middle school band to play the national anthem (impressively quite good). Songs sung, poems read, a slide show with pictures of veterans with attachments to the school and community. Very moving and the kids were very respectful.

35 In Mississippi the Dem is leading 49.11 to 48.79.

The “independent” has 2.1%.how independent is he? Oh he’s just a lifelong Democrat who ran for Secretary of State as a Democrat in 2023. He also publicly stated he would t campaign in black areas to not get black votes taken from the Democrat.

Every single time there’s a close race this shit happens. But never the other way around mysteriously. There’s never an “independent” that steals votes from the Dem candidate. Republican voters are kinda stupid because they fall for this every election.

41 My VFW did our veterans day celebration on Friday morning. We do a free breakfast every year for veterans at our post.

We have to do it the Friday before or after Veterans day because veterans day is a federal holiday and the VA and the State veterans home can't run their buses to get the vets to our post. We get mostly disabled or mobility challenged vets from the VA community living center (CLC) and the Clyde Cosper State VA home that attend.

We usually serve about 100 vets but this year we only had 78. Everyone has a good time with plenty to eat.

I almost vomited when Obama laid that wreath and his fanz swooned with admiration. So solemn! So respectful!! I hope I never have to see a President el-Sayed or President AOC dishonor that ceremony with their fake respect. It kills me the way those people assume the mighty legacy of America in order to make themselves look consequential and a part of America's greatness.

Arkansas "Republican" Says He Might Vote to Impeach Pete Hegseth

He talks like a tough guy -- he's trying to make his vote with the left sound #Based -- but he's a spoo-splattered cum chasm.*

A Republican congressman who narrowly won a seventh House term in deep-red Arkansas refused Sunday to rule out voting to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"I want to hear the debate on it to see if it merits impeachment versus some other disciplinary action or action by the president, if he's not getting the job done in leading the Department of War," Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) told CBS News' "Face The Nation."
Hill, 69, answered "no" when host Margaret Brennan asked if he was "satisfied with how the war has been handled."

"But, I mean, I think the commander in chief has to take the responsibility for the strategy of conducting the war and how it's been conducted," he added. "But I will tell you one thing. There's nobody in America that wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
The House is expected to vote sometime this week on a resolution to impeach Hegseth promoted by lame-duck Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has vowed to force the issue unless the former Fox News host resigns.

"Not prosecuting a war perfectly" is not a grounds for impeachment. It's just a policy difference. And it's not really a policy difference at all because this pussy doesn't offer any of his own war policies that he can even claim would have been more effective.

As Jonathan Turley points out, the Democrats are admitting openly that they have scrapped the Constitution's requirement of high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment and are now using it simply as a tool to fight for policy changes.

Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley
Rep. Jason Crow (D., Co.) just told Martha McCallum that the impeachment of Hegseth is "not really about impeachment" but rather just a desire to remove him. He said that this is just another means. That is precisely what the Framers did not want impeachment to become...
...Rep. Crow is speaking of impeachment as a way of forcing "a course change." It is exactly the cavalier attitude toward impeachment that can be so destabilizing for our country...
...He added "we have a tool called impeachment" that allows them to remove cabinet members like Hegseth if the President will not do so. When Martha pushed him on such "amorphous" objections, Crow said, "I would love to end the impeachment proceedings...just fire Pete Hegseth."

As Hegseth says: This sham impeachment is just their opening shot in using lawfare to get rid of anyone they don't like -- and that will eventually include ordinary civilians.

This is the truth.
This is not about Hegseth.
It's about cowing the men and women in uniform into not following lawful orders because they might wind up in Leavenworth.
This is an extension of the Seditious Six ploy.
This is about co-opting the one American institution that has remained true to the Constitution: the U.S. military.
Hegseth stands between us and tyranny, which is why they hate him so and seek to destroy him.

52 I will say that Hegseth made a mistake.

He saw what Shrub did and how sending a bunch of men to die doing police work in the middle east would not work and didn't do that.

But his problem is the low intensity conflict model is slow and that's what the left has been able to use against us.

You win wars by inflicting enough pain to force the other side to agree to your terms. Yes things are slowly getting worse for the average Iranian but the IRGC folks don't seem bothered.

We should have *at least* begun a campaign to destroy infrastructure in use by Iranian elites - remove their roads, bridges, power plants, etc. and honestly we should have been level bombing the neighborhoods they live in.

Sure a bunch of them are fine with martyrdom. Let's give it to them and their whole klans until we get IRGC leaders that don't want to die for Allah today...

53 Dems keep threatening all these investigations.
And they emphasize that they'll take it to court if they have to.
But for what? DOJ has to enforce congressional referrals for contempt.
And then I realize it's the Boesberg Plan--file some frivolous suit in one of these cartel courts.

71 This is not about Hegseth.

It's about cowing the men and women in uniform into not following lawful orders because they might wind up in Leavenworth.

______________________

Actually, it's very very much about Hegseth. One of the things he did that blew a hole in the DC money factory related to defense contractors. He made it much more difficult for "retired" command officers to sell their services in the private sector. Defense contractors are dependent on these relationships to acquire direct contacts within the "decision making process" on bids. Then, Hegseth touched the third rail and did away with the "revolving door" for command to retire for a few years while an "unfriendly Executive Office" exists and return when someone more favorable to their career returns. This pissed off the entire command structure at the Pentagon, and they are OUT FOR BLOOD.,..,and a return to the previous structure.

Don't fool yourself. The last person they want in the Dept of War is an actual military experienced individual who looks out for the ranks below the "rubber chicken" dinner circuit Generals, Admirals etc.

Remember when the Seditious 6 came out with their video claiming that Hegseth was illegally killing drug runners in the Gulf by blowing up their boats? They also warned that anyone in the military who followed those orders could also be charged.

It was a lie but it signaled exactly what they were going to do. Look at the articles of impeachment against Hegseth Massie dropped yesterday. Among the idiotic things in there was "murdering" drug runners in the Gulf.

I'm sure they will come after him again once all the new Dems are sworn in. But Hegseth doesn't run the military. The Commander in Chief does. If Trump gave the order or just allowed it and it was illegal ultimately it's his responsibility.

144 It's not about Iran. Hegseth has been rooting socialists out of the armed forces. It's the only thing during this administration that represents a serious lasting problem for the regime. They need to stop the bleeding and start trying to reimpose Gleichschaltung *immediately.*

Not tomorrow. Not the next day. Now.

They have to restore reliability to the armed forces as fast as humanly possible to make all the rest of the next phase of operations work.

They can't do much in the next 2 years - but they can try and halt the destruction of everything they worked so hard to do in that institution, so of course they're coming for Hegseth.

I disagree a bit with this. Incompetence is an impeachable offense in my book. Of course, not perfect is not the same as incompetent.

And, even a policy difference can be impeachable, if the policy were completely out of alignment with American principles.

That is true but in the US we have another security force that was not as present or present at all in the countries where USAID did their color revolutions. The real security force that backs the military/police ones is the armed citizens of this nation.

And so right on cue the newly impowered Democrats are pushing hard to disarm that threat to their color revolution too.

Perfect: Twice-Deported Illegal Alien Arrested for Making a Bomb Threat Against a Plane In Flight

This guy gets Cultural Enrichment right.

The deranged passenger who claimed he had a bomb aboard a New Orleans-bound United Airlines flight and then tried to rush the cockpit, has been identified as a Honduran illegal migrant twice kicked out of the US, immigration officials told The Post.

I have a scoop: He was deported once for saving too many lives as a heroic doctor, and deported a second time for being such a brilliant engineer he created limitless energy, but Big Energy wanted it kept secret.

Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, was arrested on three separate occasions by Border Patrol for illegally entering the United States, years before he threatened to blow up the United flight 2174 plane out of New Jersey Monday night, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said.
Immigration officials said that Gomez-Alberto, a Honduras native, was arrested twice in the US and deported -- first in September 2011 near El Indio, Texas, and again in October 2014 in Columbus, New Mexico.

The slippery migrant made his way back into the US a third time in 2019 near California's San Ysidro border town, where he was nabbed again, according to DHS.
But Gomez-Alberto was freed from ICE custody in January 2020 after a judge ordered his release pending removal proceedings, authorities said.

Ah, even though he'd committed multiple crimes of sneaking into the country and then sneaking back, a leftwing judge ordered that he be released to flee again while he set a new clock on the potential years of procedure necessary to deport him again.

Those leftwing judges need to be purged and possibly prosecuted. Maybe they should be prosecuted as co-conspirators for all the crimes the illegals they set free subsequently (inevitably) commit.

His criminal history includes felony bomb threat, felony threat--terroristic state offenses, and disorderly conduct, according to the DHS spokesperson.
"Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, criminal illegal aliens are NOT welcome in the United States," the spokesperson said in a statement.

NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested on a Newark to New Orleans United flight last night for allegedly storming the cockpit and claiming to have a bomb, leading to United putting out a hijack alert for the plane, is a 2x previously deported Honduran illegal alien.
Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff�s office once the flight landed at MSY (New Orleans airport) and he has been charged with felony bomb threat, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct.
Per DHS - Gomez-Alberto crossed the Texas border illegally in 2011 and was deported, then illegally re-entered through the New Mexico border in 2014 and was deported a second time. He illegally re-entered the country a third time in 2019, was arrested by Border Patrol, but was released from custody after an immigration judge ordered his release.
He is currently being held without bond by law enforcement in Louisiana.

BREAKING:
A man armed with an AR-15 who said he had come to Washington to kill Trump was arrested by the Secret Service in front of the White House.
They noticed a suspicious man in a vehicle, which later turned out to be stolen. The illegal migrant in the car, who had an AR-15, a Mac 10 and a handgun, told the agents that he had been hearing voices who were telling him to come to Washington and kill Trump.
Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos was quickly arrested after the incident last night

And, if that was intentional, that's probably the best news for the future we have:
That's the kind of plausible deniability, monkey-wrenching we need 10,000 times more of from our side.

Also, read a person claiming to be in records retention saying, basically, no records (that the Dems are thundering about being deleted) were deleted.
Because what was classified as a "record" was not deleted.
And what the Dems are after were not classified as records.
But what is not a record is deleted/destroyed per set policy.

I am okay, though I do have moments of questioning how it could happen, how people could be so reckless. Almost like it would not be surprising to wake up to news there was a major glitch in counting and it’s all fake. I know it isn’t, of course, but it is bizarre people voted in republican legislation, but not republicans themselves.

The Thune thing makes me angry, though.

We beat the german national socialists

We beat the russian industrial socialists

And now we are surrendering to the American gay socialists...because the price of gas went back temporarily to what it was under Biden.

It is both infuriating and exhausting. Unless something changes we'll end up with the same sort of regime Britain has meaning the whole thing was pointless.

Well, you know affordability...

Not really low energy, more just thinking. I have not been on too much simply because I am still thinking about it.

My lib aunt has been doing nothing but putting out stuff about how important abortion rights are (69, married, no kids.)

Psy-ops are fascinating. I think part of the problem is that even with inflation going wild and all this stuff, things are too good. Even the dems trying their hardest we are still bouncing around in the top 1% of bounty in all of human history. So... it is hard to sell retards that what they are voting for is camps, gun confiscation and camps. Rape of children and camps. Death of reason and camps.

THE GREAT REPLACEMENT

ISLAMIZED TEXAS: FROM 313,000 TO 1.25 MILLION MUSLIMS IN JUST FIVE YEARS?

That is what a comparison of these figures suggests:

2020: Approximately 313,000 Muslims.

2025: Approximately 1,250,000, based on figures attributed to the presidents of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and the North Texas Islamic Council.

If accurate and comparable, those figures would represent a fourfold increase an estimated 937,000 additional Muslim residents.

Texas’s total population grew by 2,560,323 over that period.

On that basis, Muslim population growth would account for approximately 37% of the state’s net population increase.

An extraordinary claim. We are watching the fall of America happen in real time...

I'm much less concerned than I thought I would be. Dems have had power before, and they typically squander it. They'll be doubly screwed this time as they have a large majority, and their radical Left wing is feeling empowered. They're going to overreach, fight internally, their Establishment will want pointless (and safe) hearings and investigations...they won't get much done in 2 years.

The bigger concern is whether Trump can set Republicans up for success in 2028. End the Iran war, keep deporting millions, keep improving the economy, and cut through the (foreign and domestically funded) mass social media disinformation campaign that is successfully hurting Republicans in the minds of Normie voters: they think we're losing to Iran, the economy is terrible, Trump and Republicans are pedo protectors and corrupt, they're slaves to Israel...it's crazy, but they believe it, and it destroyed us in the midterms.

76 The judicial vandalism of the country and culture will continue, likely with increased vim and vigor, now that the very very remote possibility of Congress taking action has been completely zeroed out for 4-6 years or more.

Looking across the rich variety of situations that are politically inexplicable, perhaps the most amazing (and grotesque) is that "sanctuary" lawlessness is directly responsible for thousands of murders, kidnappings, assaults, child molestations, robberies - across the country - and yet AFAIK there has not been 1 cent in political price paid. Dem voters just don't care that people in "their community" are killed, abused, robbed as a direct result of policies they support.

This is just a fundamental evaporation of common sense and even civilization standards. And having to live around and have life degraded by these people (voters) is infuriating.

What I have observed is that it is another opportunity to get a virtue signaling badge if you are the victim of a minor crime and then say the correct things afterwards.

Since the gentry left has plenty of disposable income if they lose a phone or bike they can afford to play it off.

Now sometimes leftists in good standing will not take crime well in which case their "friends" will all start noting they always knew the crime victim was...racist.

The 1980 election result amidst the 1994 economy/society.

As almost everything achieved so far was with unilateral executive action, with luck that will continue and ramp up (though the lawless obstruction of America's most collapsed and pernicious institution, the judiciary, will limit progress possibly even worse than before, now that they know there's no possibility of repercussions for at least 4-6 years).

108 Related to air travel AND my comment above about mass media disinformation (especially relentless, nonsensical Israel bashing)

Bomb hoaxes across Europe disrupt flights as two UK airports also receive threats. At least 21 flights across Europe have been impacted by bomb threats...authorities in Rome say they received one via email from a group called "Fighters of the Male State", claiming to be targeting a "feminist regime"

Hybrid warfare. The chance that this is not russia is basically non existent.

Why not Israel?

Why would flights departing Ireland be targeted so heavily? We're are a neutral country, without major diplomatic issues (albeit we are a hugely Pro-Palestinian)

I hope this isn't a Russian op meant to fatigue airport security to the point where they can do something truly terrible. Russia's government was caught in 2024 trying to smuggle incendiaries-on-timers onto 2 EU cargo planes.

Bomb threats, hacking grocery stores, ... Someone who's pissed at Europe is having quite the week...

Gotta hand it to Putin. He just doesn’t quit.

He's learning from Israel.

Idiot Dems should not be able to do anything material to this with a veto at the ready.

But the "we've been through this before, we'll get 'em next time" approach I find inapplicable to this situation. What about 6 Obama terms in a row? 3 Carter terms? Guess what - you'd survive, the country would survive, but it would be incredibly stupid and sh***y. I'm fortunate in general and will more than survive, but I'd like to see the society freed from the impoverishing totalitarian idiocy of the Dems and their pathetic voters.

One other part of this story - he claimed Pelosi sexually abused him hence the attack. Now the left argues that's because he's crazy but consider how the left would treat anyone else attacking a political they accused of sexually abusing them irrespective of the unlikeliness of the charge

And I'll note one claim you find repeated all the time from the left is a woman who claims that she was an Epstein girl given to Trump. She also claims Trump personally performed an abortion on her on a boat on one of the great lakes. AND she made the same claim about several other men. Biden's FBI told her she was obviously lying.

Now...which is a more likely claim that woman or the guy that attacked Pelosi?

164 1. Grok suggests the most likely way this guy got on the flight was by using a passport from his native country. That is acceptable ID at TSA, and TSA does NOT require proof of valid residency in the US to board flights.

2. Illegals who also have been convicted of felonies can be placed on the Federal No Fly list by MarkWayne Mullin of Homeland Security. He can simply make a rule making their addition to the list automatic.

In fact, much more so than previous administrations who are routinely slandered with this charge, for contexts that were wildly different. (not talking of course about the incompetents like Clinton - though this area was not his worst - or the idiot-children like Obama and the vegetable)

No previous administration faced the urgent necessity for action that forced our hand here. The problem had matured. And several of them did as much as they could - recall the panicans and uninformed ankle-biters in previous times often included besides the idiot Dems many of the current MAGA elements.

In any case ending the regime, not the war, is the only "exit strategy" (incredibly stupid Beltway concept) that will not be a disaster.

You're on the right track. The Left (with lots of help) convinced the public Trump and the Republicans were on the wrong track, making things worse, etc. The Left is mobilized because they really, really hate Trump, and normies were successfully pysopped into thinking everything had gone to shit, and voting Dem is their only protest. I think a lot of normies don't like Dems, but voted for them to punish Republicans. That's the only real silver lining...this is temporary and CAN pass quickly.

But, if things in actuality are going fairly well, and the Left can successfully lie well enough to TURN TEXAS BLUE, we either need the greatest Pax Americana ever to be successful in 2028, or figure out how to crack the most effective Leftist astrofurfing campaign in history.

Remember how successful people like Scot Pressler were in registering new GOP voters and getting them to vote in 2024? Well, the Dems learned from this and spent the last two years furiously doing the same for their voters. Red states like TX in particular.

What did we do? Nothing. We got fat and lazy and complacent.

Then, come the election, Democraps swarmed the polls, crawling over broken glass to vote against Trump. They considered this a pseudo-presidential election, a referendum on Trump.

What did we do? Nothing. We stayed home. There were 22 million more GOP votes in 2024 than 2026. Inexcusable.

I think it’s both and that AI had a hand in possibility No. 1. A whole country shifts way left overnight? The left was cheating back in 1960 with Kennedy and Nixon in Chicago, so they’ve had 66 years to refine the process. Imagine the outrage if R senators had been in elected in deep blue states. The DSA machine would be screaming fraud. But we can’t say a word.

175 The Republican party strayed from its roots and didn't deliver. Maybe it's time to make a change, and start building towards a reliable, electable institution in the party for 2028.

They haven't behaved like they've had any roots for a long time.

You know the image I keep coming back to? Trump, after getting grazed in the ear by a bullet, fist up, blood coming down his face and yelling, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

And then I compare that with John Thune, and each and every one of the pieces of garbage in the Republican Party who did none of that for the country. None of that for the people that elected them to do their jobs. They sat on their fat, flabby behinds, working on their insider trading stocks, coordinating with each other to stop Trump in his tracks. The contrast between them and Trump on that stage that day is stark, and enraging.

I agree with S-dawg. We experienced a possibly life-altering set-back in the election results last week and Ive been a little down since. But you know what? I still have my sense of humor, my life's accomplishments, and a sense of optimism is slowly returning. Prop 40 failed for now (no billionaires tax). Things will get better. Just as we didn't get all we hoped for the past two years, neither will the Dems the next two years.

We're smart, not lazy and we know how to show up on time every day, focus on the job and work hard. That puts us ahead of about 90% of the other side.

Because a lot of people don't want to take the time to learn how they did it.

This whole thread is worth bookmarking and reading and listening to the videos. But if you want to hear from the NGOs themselves how they pulled off the election jump to the post DR made on Nov. 7th.

It's not just money from Washington. Some of the same people funding the destruction in Europe funded the massive turnout Dems had last week.

194 Remember that what Democrats do is to take things away. At the moment they are once again going down the Bill of Rights and deciding what they will take from you. They are also looking at your property, and deciding how they can take that from you as well. Your family? They are on the list too- abortion, sexualization of your children, brainwashing them for evil purpose in the schools. They want control over your health, and ultimately your life with euthanasia. That’s not hyperbole, it’s on their list that people just voted for.

They also want to take your religion and your God. Most of all, remember they can’t take that from you.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

195 The TSA operates under the assumption that if an immigration judge or ICE has allowed a person out on the street, that person has the right to move about the country. The TSA does not re-evaluate a passenger's background, character, or legal right to be in the country; they only check to ensure the passenger isn't carrying weapons and isn't a suspected terrorist.

213 Illegal aliens with felony convictions can be barred from using any ID other than REAL ID to transit TSA by simple order of MarkWayne Mullin, Secretary of Homeland Security.

Mullin can also order TSA to check for valid right to travel in the United States for foreign nationals. After all, TSA CHECKS FOR THAT FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS! If you do not have a Real ID or a valid US passport you ccan travel, but they charge you $45 each time and you have to go through a special screening process to make sure you are a citizen.

This clown most likely used a passport from his native country, and since TSA does not check to see if the traveler is validly in the United States, he got on the plane.

238 I'm fairly normal, as far as normal goes for me, Ace.

Talked to my sister-in-law & another foothill walk planned for tomorrow. I can't have many plans, altho we do, as my mother's health declines daily, & is a new thing daily 1000mi away.

All her needs are met, she's home & happy. My brother lives 1/4mi away & I would sit and stare at the sitter for most of the day.

Have fought guilt & won with the help of my dude & sons. Don't want my last memory of her to be this way after 95yrs of living independently.

DIL called me to ask what was going on & she sees right through the wacko brother's wife who does NOTHING to help except send me poison emails I don't respond to.

We have zipped through the Kubler Ross stages of grief into normal sarcasm. I will have times of sadness in the future, but we've been here before with my father.

The rerun of Dims vs Trump and others is pathetic. Instead of making our country safer or lowering prices they choose to be pandering prancing peens.
At this point they should put Greta Thundermug as their leader they are so strong and impressive.

Dims are weak, gnormless worms. Politics is a game of ego for them all. In the end they always lose.

Posted by: Guy Mohawk at November 11, 2026 12:59 PM (n5tGW)

I don’t believe it. The Democrats can’t win without cheating. They just poured on the cheat extra hard this time, and are daring the President to question the results. If he does, he better have solid proof, because this is this election Jan. 6 trap: claim the results are rigged and the President becomes illegitimate. See what DataRepublican has dug up about their plans. I believe the Democrats cheated, enough to make this apparent big switch. The difficulty is proving it in a way that Norm and Norma Public can see it.

Wednesday Morning Rant

It's Back

Of all the things this midterm election was about, "climate change" - remember that? - wasn't one of them. Middle-aged or older lefties still care, and a lot the youth still care (or say they do), but virtually nobody was voting climate change this year. It was not an electoral issue and practically nobody even mentioned it on the campaign trail. The Democrats weren't trumpeting how important "fighting climate change" is and the the Republicans weren't even bothering with their typical limp-wristed "sure it's a problem, but won't someone please think of the share prices" response because they didn't have to. It never came up.

Despite being muted this year, however, "climate change" remains a powerful weapon and with the communists surging into commanding majorities next year, it absolutely will be a legislative pursuit. It won't be as big as the headline-grabbers like "impeach everyone" or "turn USAID back on" or "open the border" or the virtually inevitable "government shutdown" will be, and that might be helpful to the cause. They can - and will - move on it even if they don't talk much while dismantling everything they can in the name of Mother Gaia. The Party used the increasingly-ghoulish John Kerry to telegraph is intent. At a UN climate change junket in Turkey, he made the preposterous assertion that the recent election demonstrates that the American public sees "climate change" as a "voting issue." It was an election where the issue basically didn't exist, but whatever. Any port in a storm.

So expect more destruction in the name of "climate change" and less opposition to insanity that is already in the works. Reuters provides us with examples of both. First up is a UN-mandated - through the back door, so nobody has to actually pass it or sign a treaty - international wealth transfer scheme wearing the familiar vestments of the Church of Climate: the humble carbon credit. All members of the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) are on the hook for it, since it's an ICAO rule and applies to its members. Spoiler alert: everyone's a member. Like most agencies, the ICAO was invented for reasonable purposes like ensuring consistent navigation rules, airport names, aircraft and airport classification, maintenance standards, etc. Also like most agencies, it is a tool of revolutionaries to impose their will. The scheme imposed by the ICAO - called the "Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation" (CORSIA) - becomes mandatory next year and is expected to cost the commercial aviation industry at least 5% of its total annual profits. Dollars extracted from airlines will be transferred to those selling carbon credits. The carbon credit sellers are usually poor countries with jungles. Carbon credits are also usually naked fraud, but no matter.

That'll be fun. While I would like to expect domestic airlines - with the full support of the administration - to just ignore this stupid scheme and dare the ICAO to levy unenforceable fines, I don't think that will happen. I just expect to see a "carbon offset" fee on the receipt the next I fly internationally, if that ever happens. The one upside to the way the ICAO snuck this through is that it applies only to international flights. The average European passenger will get corn-holed by this much more than the average American passenger - at least until our domestic communists impose a national version of the same. You can be sure that it is on their list, and that they won't talk about it too much.

What will hit harder and worse will be the broader degradation of the domestic power situation. For a vision of the future, one needs only to look at Europe and specifically at Germany. Germany, one of the more retarded European countries when it comes to energy, is now reaping the consequences of its energy policy and the policies it has helped impose on the rest of the continent through the EU. Electricity prices there are surging as the "decarbonization" chickens come home to roost. The wind isn't blowing much, and Germany needs the wind to blow. The rest of Europe is also struggling, as hydroelectric production is down and most "renewables" aren't producing enough. Germany's generation capacity - and to a lesser but still significant extent, the rest of Europe's - is increasingly dependent on its increasingly strained natural gas infrastructure. Europe is stuck. They've built too much expensive, unreliable infrastructure. But it's okay, comrade - your chocolate ration will still be increased:

While renewables continue to displace fossil fuels, lower emissions and provide growing volumes of low-cost electricity, the latest market turmoil highlights that utilities still ⁠have work to do to ensure power systems remain fit for purpose.

See? The unreliable power that is spiking in price is nonetheless high in volume and low in cost. Reuters says so!

Expect the assault on gas, coal and nuclear to be reinvigorated next year. While they are loudly impeaching everyone and bleating about whatever comes up when they spin the wheel from day to day, expect the congressional committees to quietly advance as much energy destruction as possible. American energy must be destroyed, and it doesn't matter that "climate change" wasn't an election issue. The communists sweeping into office will treat it as a mandate to undo as much energy progress as possible. John Kerry just made that perfectly clear. He may be a wizened and largely disfavored old husk with a face stuffed full of cheap mattress batting by a plastic surgeon who clearly hates him, but that may be intentional. "Climate change" is not going to be front and center over the next two years, but it will be a continuous - and probably quiet - pursuit.

Whether Secretary Wright can stymie them for a year or two is an open question, but they will work manfully to accomplish their goals.

It ended the subsidies, but did it end the fuel economy and emissions targets and the fines and banishment of sales that came along with it? Not to mention the carbon credit scam that Elon Musk and Tesla made billions on from all the US ICE-focused automakers.

What is to prevent Democrats from bringing all that back when/if they take the White House and increase majorities in Congress through fraud/demographics in 2028?

Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at November 11, 2026 11:45 AM

Speaking of grocery prices...

Walmart and Kroger are quietly rolling out an internal store technology across America that could either modernize retail or bankrupt the middle-class family budget.

Starting across thousands of locations heading into 2027, traditional paper price tags are being ripped off grocery shelves and replaced with cloud-connected digital screens. Raise the price of bottled water by 20 percent the second the afternoon temperature hits 90 degrees. Surge the cost of ground beef, milk, and sandwich bread between 5 PM and 6 PM when exhausted commuters are rushing home from work. Drop prices at 10 AM on a Tuesday, then hike them right back up the minute the after-school crowd walks through the sliding doors.

Every price change happens wirelessly in seconds from a central corporate dashboard. No store employee has to touch a single shelf.

The scammy essence of climate change is sitting in plain sight. If it's an existential threat, why aren't we bombing China? Look at their coal consumption, look at the Asian Brown Cloud. They've got to be the single biggest threat to the planet. (Byron York pinned the Dems down on this in a Democrat primary debate, to the audience's derisive hoots, as if he hadn't nailed the issue precisely.)

Also, why aren't we dumping truckloads of money on survival education? Why doesn't our elementary educaitonal system have mandatory classes in swimming, basic agriculture, HUNTING, fire-building, shelter-building, map-making, wound treatment, stuff like that instead of "why all the white boys are bad"?

Sorry I keep posting this. No GOPer or for that matter no hard-headed conservative ever seems to throw this back in the lefties' faces; they just feebly argue statistics.

While we were in the West Bank (sadly the location of Nazareth, Bethlehem, and Jericho), our tour group was actually protected by "Palestinian Tourist Police" because they depend so much on tourist money -- they don't want any bad publicity of tourists being assaulted or robbed.

The hidden camera and smartphone tracking layer inside the shelf.

The digital price tag is only half of the hardware. The real power sits inside the black plastic rail holding the screen and its direct connection to the store app in your pocket.

Kroger's EDGE shelving system integrates with overhead sensors and small optical cameras designed to measure how many seconds a shopper stands in front of a product, along with basic demographic cues. At the same time, Walmart's VusionGroup rails use ultra-precise Bluetooth Low Energy beacons that ping your smartphone the second you walk into the store with the Walmart app installed.

Because your store app knows your past purchase history, your home address, and whether you buy name-brand organic food or store-brand basics, the system knows exactly who is standing in Aisle 4. Federal Trade Commission investigators and US Senate committees have already raised alarms that combining digital shelves with app tracking allows stores to test your personal pain threshold and flash personalized "deals" that are actually higher than what the person next to you is paying.

Walmart's been doing this for about 2, maybe 3 years. Sam's Club too. It you have either app on your phone, and have created a shopping list (or are just browsing) the price will reflect what the algorithm says you'd be willing to pay. Based on your buying history.

89 Mark Steyn:

In response to Saturday's column, several Texan readers pointed out that what happened in the midterms owed as much to shifting demographics as to any "affordability" concerns. Over nineteen million persons were registered to vote in the state on Tuesday, which is a near eight per cent increase on the 2022 midterms - or close to a million-and-a-half new "Texans".

How many of them voted for the Democrats? Answer: all of them. Compared to 2022, Governor Abbott got the same number of ballots - approximately four-and-a-half million ...but the Democrat nominee improved the party's vote haul by 1.7 million, and thereby won. You do the math.

In the first eighteen months of the Trump Administration, just shy of one million "migrants" were deported or "self-deported". But how many invaders had Joe Biden let in? Estimates vary from close to seven million (per the Heritage Foundation) to twenty million (per Trump's new chief of staff). So, for every migrant deported, between two and seven get to stay.

And the President now says that's "too tough". Good luck re-taking Texas in 2028.

90 "Climate wasn't a voting issue" is right, and right that it will be a legislative one. The disagreement is why it wasn't a voting issue. Voters did not stop caring about the weather; this was an election about what things cost, and any policy that arrives as a line on a receipt loses that election no matter who proposes it.
That test is not partisan. The UN aviation scheme is a small cost handed to passengers. A tariff is a much bigger one handed to the same households, and the administration has just said it is keeping the tariffs for the rest of the term. If cost is the yardstick voters actually used this year, then attacking a carbon fee while defending a consumption tax is choosing which costs count.
And the scale is the uncomfortable part: CORSIA is a rounding error next to the tariff schedule. Disclosure: I work on TheBareNews, an AI-native publication; the Left and Right columns are AI-written and there is no original reporting. The tariff side, in figures: https://tinyurl.com/2aqzbc59

I am going to have to test this out on Kroger's website here in Michigan. I have been using Kroger Clicklist pickup since before Covid. So for about 7-8 years now. Have not shopped inside the store at all during that time. I usually create my order around 9-10pm the night before I want to pick up my order the next morning.

I'll have to compare adding a product at my typical time 9-10pm at night and then adding a product the next morning at 7-8am or so. And add in a comparison to adding a product at 5-6pm during peak times.

The fact people get hung up on this stuff amazes me. You pay more then half your income in taxes. Well Trump brought inflation down to 3% it was well over 10% every year under Biden.

Yes Walmart surge pricing stuff means you'll pay more if you go at a busy time for that product. Why does that $.10 matter compared to say...your tax bill?

Covered models are prohibited from being activated by any user interface within the borders of Bloomington, regardless of where the underlying developer is located.

The Intarwebs say Shishkin died in 1898.

In Russia, at the time this was painted, wheat was likely still harvested using hand sickles.

73 I really like Ivan Shishkin's landscapes. Natural, realistic, and he never misses details to bring the image to life. Also, his use of light on the land brings out the feel of nature. In this painting he makes he viewer 'see' every individual stalk of wheat and leaf on the trees. It's an amazing ability. The quality of the light on the wheat and the dirt path lets the audience smell the warmth on the land. This is such a simple scene but presented in a masterful way.

Check out Shishkin's Wiki page. It has a few dozen of his works, many of deep woods which I prefer.

Safety standoff distance set by the US Coast Guard is one mile, but it's a big ship so it should be decent viewing.

There will be no explosive charges. It's a controlled flooding operation (opening the sea water intake valves) which is scheduled to commence at 1:00 p.m. CST.

Estimated time for the ship to become fully submerged and settled on the bottom is 45 minutes if all goes according to expectations of those in charge of the scuttling.

THE GREAT REPLACEMENT

ISLAMIZED TEXAS: FROM 313,000 TO 1.25 MILLION MUSLIMS IN JUST FIVE YEARS?

That is what a comparison of these figures suggests:

2020: Approximately 313,000 Muslims.

2025: Approximately 1,250,000, based on figures attributed to the presidents of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and the North Texas Islamic Council.

If accurate and comparable, those figures would represent a fourfold increase an estimated 937,000 additional Muslim residents.

Texas’s total population grew by 2,560,323 over that period.

On that basis, Muslim population growth would account for approximately 37% of the state’s net population increase.

The Morning Report — 11/11 /26

Good morning kids. First and foremost today is Veterans' Day,and so to all who have worn the uniform and most especially those who are still serving in our armed forces, I speak for all of us when I say I salute you and offer my gratitude for your service and sacrifices. My father and two uncles of blessed memory served their country during World War Two, one of whom did not return alive from the Pacific, and we honor him and all those who paid the ultimate price on Memorial Day. Today is set aside for all who served and still serve because without their selfless dedication and love of country we would not have made it to 250 years. So thank you and God bless you.

Surprisingly, or sadly I suppose as a reflection of the state of our nation and society for the first time in many years I'm finding a shocking lack of content reflecting on, let alone even acknowledging, what today is and what it means. But there is this one.

Veterans contribute to our communities in unique ways, with their training, leadership, ability to work as a team, and understanding of what it means to serve a cause bigger than themselves. Their military service may be over, but they still have so much to offer our churches, workplaces, neighborhoods, and families.
Our country doesn’t ask every soldier to give his or her life, but every one of them is willing to. Long before any deployment, service members give up time with their families, months of training away from home, and the stability of an ordinary career, stepping up so the rest of us don’t have to...
...What does honor look like in practice? It starts with how we raise the next generation. At American Heritage Girls, one area of focus for troop life is cultivating a girl’s citizenship as a member of her community, state, and country. That same instinct should shape how every family raises its kids. Teach your children why service members’ positions demand reverence, and why that reverence shouldn’t fade once they’ve retired from the service. At a time when we feel divided over nearly everything, Americans can build the kind of unity that begins by honoring those who have faithfully protected and served.

Well, that is a nice sentiment indeed, but as last week's midterms might very well foreshadow, this may be the last official Veterans' Day holiday we actually celebrate or are allowed to celebrate considering those who "WON" the majority last week view this nation and its armed forces as the moral equivalent of the Waffen SS!

And while we're on the subject of what happened last week, just freaking wow!

In 2024, Kamala Harris won 4,835,250 votes in Texas. In 2026, Gina Hinojosa, the gubernatorial candidate from her party, picked up 5,230,929 votes and James Talarico, the Senate candidate, scored 5,445,156 votes.
Where did Texas Democrats find 395,679 more voters than in a presidential election?
In October, Texas Secretary of State Robert Howden announced the big news. Texas had hit a record 19 million registered voters or specifically, 19,041,684 voters.
Not only was Texas up a whopping 17,119,632, nearly 2 million from its 2022 numbers, but there were now 418,000 more voters than there had been in 2024.
. . . The outcome in Texas was the work of a giant political machine in which tax-exempt foundations passed along money to non-profit groups which then funded local non-profit community activist groups: some of which benefit from government funding aimed at helping minorities. Money moved, sometimes illegally, between C3s and C4s and PACs, violating laws against using non-profits for electioneering, while being focused on one thing: registering voters.
How many of those voter registrations were legitimate? How many of those registered were actually citizens? How many local community organizers ensured that they would be getting more grants by finding dead voters or voters who didn’t exist?

Not a smidgen of corruption or fraud and any suggestion that our elections aren't completely fair and free of fraud is MAGA republican propaganda!!!

Elsewhere, this utter abomination is yet another foretaste of what we are facing.

With the stroke of a pen, California Governor Gavin Newsom has delivered a devastating blow to the rule of law and a cruel insult to the families of murder victims.

Well, looking to 2028, with Greaseball Newsom as a potential frontrunner to be at the top of the ticket in the Democrat Party, I had the thought that with this complete debasement of morality and the rule of law Newsom might have spawned a potential Willie Horton 2.0 advertisement!

Of course this presupposes that he actually does win the nomination and that the GOP along with whoever is at the top of our ticket has the brains to weaponize this and use it to devastating effect as Bush the elder did against Michael Dukakis.

It also presupposes that the Democrats won't steal 2028 like they did 2020 and now several key states last week, and if Texas' fully communized state government decides to join that insane national Poplar vote compact, the Electoral College is effectively abolished and we're screwed, seemingly, forever.

Thankfully, we have the GOP.

Senate Republicans chose current Majority Leader John Thune as minority leader in January. Oof. No one even challenged him, even though the Democrats flipped seven seats and will likely flip two more. Some senators tried to delay the leadership vote, but that failed.

On a more positive note, at least bipedal piece of shit Tom Massie's attempt to impeach Pete Hegseth went down in flames.

Anyway, God bless you veterans and on that note I bid you all to despite all the horrid news and things we are facing, have a good day.

8 Proposition: if the voting fraud theorists are correct, it would follow, based on the democrats' extraordinary success at installing a national fraud infrastructure, that republicans (or any opposition party) will never win another election. This would seem to meet all the criteria of a Constitutional crisis and demand an immediate response from all branches of government. As Congress has shown no willingness to pass legislation to address the starkly evident threats to our vote and ensure the integrity of elections, and as courts are largely corrupt and undependable, it falls to the Executive branch to take action, and with urgency given the imminent resumption of legislative control by the party responsible for implementing the fraud.

Yet I see from the Executive branch only lamentations about the probability of the fraud, with vague, plaintive calls for someone else (i.e., congress) to take action.

In any case, if the proposition is correct, two years are all the remain to save the electoral process and, essentially, the country.

49 As most know I’ve been pouring over the numbers; and I’ve found that the biggest, easily exploited loophole in Texas election requirements was not illegals voting, but rather Legal Resisent Aliens, who are here legally but aren’t supposed to vote. They are given Texas driver’s licenses and all ID, but are not citizens with voting rights.

Texas has generally only required a Drivers license and/or a utility bill to register to vote , but no proof of citizenship. That was an error that none of the Republican leaders cared to notice.

There are currently 5.8 million resident legal aliens in Texas, and the vast majority are from Hispanic countries. Would not have been difficult to focus on this group and find a million or more votes.

And now that Democrats will be in charge of all state law enforcement, no one will ever look into it.

63 Weimar Germany was wracked with street violence as competing party militias battled for control.

The Nazi's SA was only one of many paramilitaries fielded by Germany's political parties at the time.

When Hitler was named Chancellor, he turned the SA into police, granting state power to their violence while criminalizing the others.

He also nationalized the police, which until then had been creatures of their respective state governments.

All of a sudden, violence became a Nazi monopoly and they applied it most broadly against their enemies, except this time with official, legal approval.

Nazi violence became state violence. What was prohibited became mandatory.

75 she strongly insists voter fraud didn't play a roll in the Feeble Party getting tied to the bumper and dragged down the highway at 100mph.

I'll have to trust DR.

Another data point is that the entire GOP Senate and all of their X accounts were bodied for the past few days and particularly after they reaffirmed their utter fecklessness and uselessness by keeping Thune as their flag bearer in fighting the MAGA agenda.

Even Texas Ted the Podcaster got severely ratioed. He will be relieved of his side-hustle as a "Senator" soon.

Even if only some percentage of it gets passed, nationally, there's a lot of preparations being made in the blue states to accelerate their agenda in '28.

I like this theme.

Instead of focusing in on watching nature take its course in destroying the former United States and reverting society to international norms of misery, wickedness, violence and utter depravity to cite historic events that are thinly veiled prophecies of where we are going.

I live in SC. I can't stress enough how many unrelenting swarms of people seem to have moved here in the upstate in the past 10 years. It's been constant. And now the results of that are coming to fruition. We will be stuck with Annie Andrews until she croaks or moves on. Guaranteed. As Jr. Black has noticed, and it seems to hold some water, once a red state starts slipping, then comes the first Democrat US Senator, and then slowly the chipping away at the rest of the state unfolds. GA is a prime example. Just look at what's happened to them in the past several years. They are but one of many examples.

Let me tell you a little secret:

Amnesty passed over a decade ago. In fact, as part of the Amnesty deal, illegals get automatic reduced sentencing, tax exemption, free medical, full voting rights, entitlement perqs, and waiving of all licensing, permitting and insurance requirements.

They didn't have to write it down on paper because everyone knows that a piece of paper doesn't have anything to do with reality—they just agreed to moving illegals and other foreigners ahead of you and not bother to notify you.

145 The Socialists - Democrats have quite a following... a cult. A few self-identifying Democrats who were in local contests for county, state or city elections won. But here in Kentucky we remained (mostly) red.

Yet... on various social media sites like Facebook, you'd think otherwise. The crowing from people here about something that happened in Texas, or North Carolina, or wherever is off the charts. And it's laced with threats of violence.

I'm sure it's not all people from around here, and I'm equally sure it's probably bots... but it speaks to how organized the left is with their messaging. While not illegal, it certainly played a factor in the midterm outcomes. We (Republicans in general) need to work on that.

160 That explanation matches the available evidence more than any other.

I believe that post-modernism and post-enlightenment thinking has removed from today's vocabulary any ability to intellectually process spiritual warfare.

So there are only secular half-baked mechanical reasons to attempt to explain spiritual phenomena.

The Scriptures are rich in associating the rise and fall of empires, kings and nations due to spiritual influences. Not just one-offs, but a continuous live stream of change.

Start with the Garden, pass by Egypt and Pharoah's heart being hardened by YHWH, watch as the Assyrians, Phoenecians, Medes, Persia, Greece and eventually Rome all find their births and deaths through spiritual forces. The parable of the soils is really not different.

It just might be true that spirits introduced and nurtured what appears to be a well orchestrated turn in the former US's destiny.

Specific to Texas

She treats Texas results (including James Talarico’s performance relative to prior Democratic candidates) as consistent with historical midterm/wave patterns rather than evidence of unique or decisive fraud. Talarico outpolling Kamala Harris’s 2024 Texas numbers has a clear parallel in Beto O’Rourke outpolling Hillary Clinton in 2018. Large swings among young voters and Hispanics (which she had flagged in pre-election data) and heavy early-voting shares align with the NGO turnout machine she documents nationally, not with machine hacks or midnight dumps.

Viral claims of an FBI raid uncovering tens of thousands of fraudulent Democratic ballots in a Houston warehouse were widely circulating around Election Day 2026 but were independently debunked by the FBI, local election officials, and fact-checkers...

In short, her consistent position is data-driven skepticism of the most dramatic fraud narratives while highlighting real vulnerabilities (lax verification, NGO scale, opacity) and urging focus on institutional reform rather than post-election non-certification.

People in the crowd commonly referred to it as “Obama money.”

The key exchange with one woman was:

Woman: “To get some money.”
Rogulski: “What kind of money?”
Woman: “Obama money.”
Rogulski: “Where’s it coming from?”

215 And social media has made them dumber.

Posted by: redridinghood at November 11, 2026 09:23 AM

I don't think social media makes people dumber, as much as it just reinforces ignorance.

Prior to social media, if you had a dumb idea, it remained with you or your small social circle. And people would think "I think X, but pretty much everyone else around me thinks Y, so I must be wrong." And the dumb idea is contained to minimal people.

After social media, now these dumb ideas are spread across the country and across the world. And then it's just an avalanche. As then you get some people thinking "well, wow, if this many people think this, it must be true" and join with the other people with dumb ideas.

Then there's websites and podcasts and TikToks and Instagrams and whatever else out there reinforcing all of these dumb ideas.

And now leftist-trained AI has come along to make things worse going forward.

The worry, if President Nayib Bukele’s ambitions in Haiti turn out to be large, is of a scorched-earth strategy that kills a lot of civilians.”

So. . . it's OK when Haitians are killing (and sometimes eating?) one another and any foreigner who visits.
It's also OK when Haitians are dumped in middle America, then start raping and killing the locals and local wildlife.
However, it's NOT OK when a country decides to kill the violent Haitians who killed his citizens.

Yeah, not feeling the need to live by those warped, anti-white/anti-Western civilization values.

Democrats are entertaining an incipient party civil war, had less money and crazy candidates, but overwhelmed GOP candidates all across the nation with a hugely effective turnout the vote effort. Scott Presslers in all states.

That is how it appears, anyway. Only voter anger at Republicans (thank you John Thune) for failing to follow-through can explain the lack of similar vote expansion on the GOP side.

230 Good morning, and thank you, J.J.

From above,"...whoever is at the top of our ticket has the brains to weaponize this and use it to devastating effect as Bush the elder did against Michael Dukakis."

Great point! The 1988 presidential campaign of "Bush the Elder" has been widely studied in political science as a masterclass in aggressive, highly effective campaign strategy. (In fact, so widely studied it appears the script has now been flipped against the GOP during several presidential election cycles.) 🤷‍♀️

What I most remember running up to the presidential election was that Mikhail Gorbachev, then leader of the Soviet Union, shifted global perception of the Soviet Union by introducing policies like openness & restructuring, releasing political prisoners, and engaging in friendly nuclear disarmament summits with Reagan.

He was extremely popular in Western media.

OTOH, George H.W. Bush had served as Director of Central Intelligence (CIA) Jan. '76 to Jan. '77 under President Gerald Fold.

During his 1988 campaign and subsequent presidency, critics on ALL sides frequently targeted his intelligence background, pointing to the agency's history of covert

Posted by: L - No nic... at November 11, 2026 09:44 AM (NFX2v)

231 operations, involvement in Latin American dictatorships, and secrecy to frame him as an unprincipled "deep state" operative. (Wikipedia; but it's okay.)

Because Gorbachev was actively humanizing the Soviet Union & dismantling the old Cold War threat, a unique rhetorical window opened for domestic critics. For years, it became common to hear that Bush's past at the CIA represented a greater threat to global peace and democratic ideals than Gorbachev's rapidly reforming of Soviet government. (The Miller Center, more.)

While the evil spymaster label stuck from his worse critics, Bush's foreign policy approval skyrocketed after the resignation of Gorbachev on Christmas Day 1991, and U.S. victory in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

His approval rating had reached a historical 89%!

The U.S. entered an economic recession in 1990. Though the recession officially ended in March 1991, the economic recovery was slow and painful, as they tend to be.

Despite his popularity in many areas, Bush Sr.'s 1992 re-election campaign was derailed by a sluggish domestic economy, a famously broken tax promise, an aggressive third-party challenger, and a perceived disconnect from everyday Americans.

Posted by: L - No nic... at November 11, 2026 09:44 AM (NFX2v)

232 What happened?
👉🏻The sluggish economy and "It's the Economy, Stupid" made famous by Carville for Bill Clinton's election.
"In order to keep the campaign on message, Carville hung a sign in Bill Clinton's Little Rock campaign headquarters that read:
Change vs. more of the same.
The economy, stupid.
Don't forget health care.[4]" Wikipedia

👉🏻 Bush's 1988, Broken "Read My Lips" Tax Pledge. In 1990, he broke the pledge & negotiated a budget compromise with congressional Democrats that included tax hikes.
👉🏻Ross Perot effect. Perot won 18.9% of the popular vote.
👉🏻 "Out of touch" vs. Clinton's "youthful" charisma.

The critics summarized Bush Sr. failed to articulate a compelling domestic vision.

Like classic Disney, the progressives wait a generation or so and re-release parts or whole of the same. Along with substantial changes in voting, it brings in the audience.

239 Worth separating two things in the Schumer story, because most of the coverage blurs them. Sanders and Slotkin are not really arguing ideology. They are arguing that a caucus which flinched on the March 2025 spending bill after calling it dangerous, and then lost a shutdown fight over subsidies it had picked, cannot credibly promise voters it will deliver anything. That is a competence argument, and it is the same one a lot of people on this side made.
What nobody auditioning for the job will say out loud: the remedies being floated, more subsidies, credits, rent caps, move costs around rather than remove what created them. Van Hollen's demand for an actual contest is the most honest note in the chorus and changes the least. Schumer can lose the job and deserve to. That is not the same as naming the cause, and a better spokesman does not retire it.

Between the crosses, row on row,

The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

. . . The outcome in Texas was the work of a giant political machine in which tax-exempt foundations passed along money to non-profit groups which then funded local non-profit community activist groups: some of which benefit from government funding aimed at helping minorities.

Easy fix. Shut down all 501(c) tax exemptions.

All. Of. Them.

Daily Tech News 11 November 2026

Top Story

Zen 6 is here but not for you. (WCCFTech)

Only the server versions are shipping now, but that tells us pretty much how the desktop versions will perform, because the CPU chiplets used are identical; only the I/O die changes.

And what we see from the CPU chiplets is 27% better performance at the same clock frequency, 10% higher clock frequencies (and desktop chips may go higher than that), and 50% more cores - twice the total performance.

Also interesting is the Zen 6c low-power chiplet. Unlike Intel's low-power cores it is functionally identical to the full Zen 6, just implemented in a denser, power-optimised layout. But where Zen 5c had 16 cores with 2MB of cache per core - twice as many cores but half the cache per core of Zen 5 - Zen 6c has 32 cores per chiplet and 4MB of L3 cache per core. 128MB in total, which is more than a desktop 9800X3D chip.

And the 32 cores all being on a single die means there is no added latency between the cores and between the cores and the cache. Or not much, anyway; L3 cache accesses look to be about 10 cycles slower than Zen 6.

As to when we'll see Zen 6 on the desktop - that's unanswered. Engineering samples for the laptop versions are already circulating, so it's up to AMD's marketing, so somewhere between tomorrow and never.
Tom's Hardware found a 93% performance gain comparing a 256-core Zen 6c with a 192 core Zen 5c. (Tom's Hardware)

So right in the ballpark of 2x.

Tech News

AMD also announced MEXT, which appears to be a predictive swap file. (WCCFTech)

All modern operating systems already have swap files, where unused pages in memory are written out to disk to free them up for other tasks. What MEXT does is try to read the pages back in before they are actually needed so this doesn't kill performance - and reportedly works pretty well. It's still slower than having enough DRAM, but it's faster than traditional swap mechanisms.
Who is Alice Huang and what has she been up to? (Tom's Hardware)

And is she why you can't buy an RTX 5090?
Terafab, the SpaceX / Tesla chipmaking join venture - is targeting production of a million wafers per month by 2032. (Tom's Hardware)

That's great, but if those aren't memory wafers it doesn't do us much good.

They are memory wafers? Or at least, 70% of them?

Well... Good.
How does Apple's top-of-the-line M5 Ultra compare with Nvidia's RTX Spark on local AI? (Tom's Hardware)

Like a bug, you say?

On the one hand, a 256GB M5 Ultra Mac Studio costs twice as much as the 128GB RTX Spark for twice the performance. On the other hand, there is a 96GB model that is only a little more expensive than the RTX Spark, and if your LLM fits it still delivers twice the performance.

48.2 degrees out.

No morning walk as Mrs VIA has a dermatology appointment early this morning.

Plus, persistent hip pain on my part has become a real issue, making long walks a challenge.

I don't know where we are going with that new part of being just a few months past 29 years old, but it can stop any time it wants to.

49 I had such a nice experience yesterday. Last week I sent a card to a family in the town over ( I don't know them) to thank them for candles in their windows and various patriotic signs and ones in support of Trump as well as a statue of Mary . Yesterday while I was out, my husband said a man and woman dropped off a note in my box. The woman sent a lovely card of thanks with a painting of the Trump golf course in Bedminster and a pen with the name. Apparently their daughter works with the Trump organization and they like him very much . Anyway, I thought it was so nice of these people to go out of their way to thank me.

86 AMD also announced MEXT, which appears to be a predictive swap file. (WCCFTech)

All modern operating systems already have swap files, where unused pages in memory are written out to disk to free them up for other tasks. What MEXT does is try to read the pages back in before they are actually needed so this doesn't kill performance - and reportedly works pretty well. It's still slower than having enough DRAM, but it's faster than traditional swap mechanisms.

Perfect for high RAM use & churn applications; gaming, video and media production, animation, 3D Modeling & CAD, etc.
If they ever release this to desktop.

It might eat up some SSDs though with that much data write.
I guess that's why MEXT is coming to data centers first, it appears.

87 Who is Alice Huang and what has she been up to? (Tom's Hardware)

And is she why you can't buy an RTX 5090?

She's an OK looking Chinese TV anchor who moved on to AI data center acquisition manager who managed to bang one of the wealthiest men in the word to get GPU chips at the behest of the CCP.

I can't blame her for the price of 5090s but I hope she can take credit for Jensen Huang resigning sometime in the next several months.

Not because I dislike the man, he's a genius at creating graphics processors and it lucked into AI because of the power, It's because I think he's too greedy, arrogant, and it's coming back to haunt him and his company.

All that circular funding Nvidia has been doing to keep the bubble going the past few years is going to bite hard if the customers start going under.

That could mean cheaper 6090s, though, so I'm always looking for that silver lining.

92 Stacy Keach once played the consummate villain, Harry Roat Jr., in Wait Until Dark for TV. I think the TV-movie is on YooToob.

This puts Keach in the same club with Robert Duvall (who created the role on B'way in 1966) and Alan Arkin. And Quentin Tarantino, who -- if his turn as the creepy robber in From Dusk Til Dawn is any indication -- was probably darn good at projecting villainy.

93 Terafab, the SpaceX / Tesla chipmaking join venture - is targeting production of a million wafers per month by 2032. (Tom's Hardware)

That's great, but if those aren't memory wafers it doesn't do us much good.

They are memory wafers? Or at least, 70% of them?

Well... Good.

If Elon is producing any of his own CPU chips that's one less foundry like TSMC or Intel that's got to do it.

If his long term plan works out, all of those fabs are going to help bring prices down a lot.

Let's just hope he isn't railroaded by the Dems for something before he can get there.

This is an interesting part:
How TSMC might fit in remains open. TSMC says any fab with its involvement has to be run by TSMC, while Musk said his own companies would build and operate Terafab, a scenario which could leave TSMC as a space tenant. At least the spending plans are known: $16.8 billion for the first phase in Grimes County, Texas, with total investment of up to $119 billion if later phases proceed. A pilot plant could be completed as early as July 2027.

100 Why Grimes County, Texas? I wonder.

Mostly rural Southeast Texas, population of around 30,000.
Most notable for Novosota, the biggest town, having a notable resident by the name of Chuck Norris until earlier this year.

The county did some luring:
Grimes County commissioners approved a full property tax abatement package to create incentives to attract SpaceX's Terafab semiconductor manufacturing complex to the area, in the vicinity of Gibbons Creek Reservoir, originally built for the now-decommissioned Gibbons Creek Steam Electric Station.

But Elon could have gotten a similar deal in most rural Texas counties.

I think he liked the name Grimes because he has three children with a woman named Grimes; X Æ A-Xii ("X") born May 4, 2020, Exa Dark Sideræl ("Y") born via surrogate in December 2021, Techno Mechanicus ("Tau") born via surrogate in June 2022.

If Elon could rename it to X County, he probably would but he'll take Grimes as second best.

Sounds like they really searched hard for where data center workers eat lunch.

I'm telling you, if I've only got an hour for lunch I'm probably not going to a sit down joint in nearby Whitehaven but grabbing a sandwich or something fast to eat to get back on time.

I also like how they went to one black joint in town are trying to intimate that even if Musk has brought jobs to town he's a racists for not giving black jobs so they can eat the "The warm African cuisine at Bala’s Bistro" - which seems kinda odd that the best they can come up with if that the food was warm.

Edmund Fitzgerald Day, year 51. For those who observe. https://t.co/Xq9nrpc69t
— Puckin Hostile (@PuckinHostile) November 10, 2026

51 years ago today.
The SS Edmund Fitzgerald disappeared into Lake Superior during a brutal November gale. The 729-foot freighter, loaded with over 26,000 tons of taconite pellets and bound from Superior, Wisconsin, toward Detroit, went down about 17 miles north-northwest of Whitefish Point. All 29 crew members were lost. No distress call. No survivors. No bodies recovered.
Captain Ernest McSorley’s final radio message to the nearby Arthur M. Anderson: “We are holding our own.” Minutes later, the Fitz was gone.
The legend lives on. Gordon Lightfoot made sure of that. The lake never gives up her dead.
Fair winds and following seas to the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald. ⚓️

Highway wildlife crossings are evidently a thing. I'd like to see one in person.

The world's largest wildlife crossing opens soon. Here's how to see the cute animals.

Soon California drivers traversing the 101 freeway won't be the only ones commuting in comfort. As hundreds of thousands of people zoom down the multi-lane highway (assuming there's no traffic jam!), their animal counterparts — the wildlife population that lives in northern Los Angeles County — will be similarly at ease.
That's because officials will finally unveil the completed Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, a large, vegetated overpass that will help animals cross traffic safely and comfortably move across the land split by asphalt and vehicles. It is the largest wildlife crossing in the world.
***
Over the last week, biologists have been installing a series of wildlife cameras near the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area to track animal populations before the crossing officially opens on Dec. 2. By the time of opening, scientists and nature watchers will be able to monitor its visitors via 50 cameras and four thermal video cameras.
Project leads told the Los Angeles Times that the cameras' photo stream will be available to the public. For now, live video feeds will only be available to researchers for security reasons.
The cameras are already picking up hopeful moments, including the path's first visitor: A single coyote trotting up the side of the currently unfinished path, shielded by the cover of night and the lack of blinding headlights.

Colorado wildlife overpass cut vehicle-animal collisions by 91%, report finds

Colorado officials have tracked herds of elk, bears, pronghorn and even northern leopard frogs ambling across its new wildlife overpass. According to a newly released report, the overpass, which acts as a bridge over a busy stretch of interstate, has helped cut wildlife-vehicle collisions by 91% since its completion 10 months ago.
The overpass is the centerpiece of a larger system built by the state to assist wildlife crossing the highway, which also includes miles of 8-ft-tall fencing and five large wildlife underpasses.
“One of the most heartwarming moments for me was when [Colorado department of transportation] sent me a picture of an elk mama taking her calf under [Interstate-25],” Brandon Marette, a wildlife biologist for Colorado parks and wildlife, told CBS News. “All came to fruition in that one moment. That elk with her calf was just standing there in safety.”
***
This region of Colorado is known for high movement of large game. State officials say that wildlife underpasses and tunnels often don’t work for big animals, such as bull elk, because they restrict mobility and don’t accommodate their antlers.

“Elk and pronghorn like these big open structures where they can see for miles in each direction,” Chuck Attardo, the environmental manager for Colorado department of transportation, told CBS News. “For decades, pronghorn going from Trinidad to Greenland were looking for a place to cross on I-25. And when we open this up, we have pronghorn on video using the overpass, and for the first time in decades they’re coming over here to the west side.”
While large game animals have been taking advantage of the crossing, officials have also tracked smaller wildlife using the corridor, including mule deer, coyotes, rabbits, frogs and the threatened Preble’s meadow jumping mouse.

Well, I don't think Lightfoot has a problem with enunciation. I think the problem lies with listeners who are used to poppy love songs that run for 2:24. Fitzgerald is more of an epic poem, set to music. It demands that one pays attention.

I have a high school classmate who was a cook on the Fitz, as a summer job. He was back in school at the end of August, and avoided being the first in our class to die.

My girlfriend's father was an EVP at Olglebay Norton at the time the Fitz went down. A very grim, quiet house in the days that followed. When Gordon Lightfoot's song came out, he about had a stroke ... the song made him so angry.

95 Senate GOP beyond parody. Even bearing in mind that leadership votes are largely based on $$-raising power, political network and savvy, and occasionally (in the old days) on seniority and parliamentary skills (Robert Byrd) - this is beyond grotesque. You suffer this big - and this weird, and pathetic - a loss, you let someone else take the helm.

It's like Dubya not accepting George's resignation after 9/11. Or keeping Short and Kimmel after 12/7/41 (even though they were kinda sorta railroaded). Or a coach not quitting after a 1-15 season.

Just a darkly funny part of the overall national nightmare and humiliation.

The first time I heard The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald I didn't know about the actual wreck (yes, shame on me). I thought it was about a very old wreck, like from the 19th century. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song for the ages -- or maybe shipwrecks are stories for all ages.

111 Oy. What a night. I was having a nice phone conversation with a fellow Moron, hung up, and got in bed with my wife. She said she wanted me to fix a squeaky hinge.

I said "hell, it's only 2111hrs, I'll just go get some WD-40 from the shed right now," and that's when the trap was sprung!

My 10 month old, very black cat, who is in her first heat, leapt from beneath my shoe rack where she was hiding, out into the inky blackness, like a shadow among shadows.

I went out with a flashlight and a can of food and hunted for 45 minutes, to no avail.

So I went inside, locked the dog in the back of the house, shut off the lights, opened the doors and windows, and laid in wait on the kitchen floor.

"Skritch skritch," I heard from the top of the fence, and thought "that's her, or a raccoon," and ran outside.

It was neither. It was a big, fluffy, horny tomcat. I ran him off, and that flushed her out - she was waiting beneath the car for him and his unbridled cat passion.

She got snatched up and now she is strutting around my house in high dudgeon. She is NOT amused.

116 I have a laurel hedge that is completely overgrown. It is not mine, it is the neighbor's but it was overhanging our property so I cut it back to the property line, and hired a tree company to come in and chip the 50' winrow of cut branches.
It was just the one kid, so I helped by dragging cuttings up so the kid could stuff them in the chipper. It cost, but it took an hour, instead of the 3 days it would have taken to shove it all into a trailer and take it down to the place on the highway that charges 70 bucks a load. I saved a lot of frustration today. And I have a nice pile of chips to mulch my trees and my flower beds with.
I will have the tree service back when I negotiate with the neighbor over topping the hedge down to 4 feet. I want to take it off at t he ground but his wife won't have that.

He thought it was disrespectful to those who died, took liberties with what was known about the tragedy at the time.

The Fitz was Oglebay Norton''s flagship, and everyone attached to the company took the sinking quite hard.

Reminds me of the time, sitting in Kassebaum's office on a late-nighter, watching the floor with my friend (her staffer), and Nancy walking in, looking at the TV, shaking her head slightly and saying "poor George, he's not doing very well" (Mitchell was flailing in trying to manage some contentious matter).

I'm pretty sure looking at historical demographics is a waste of time and chasing the past. The left registered 20 million new voters recently across the US including Texas and other states that had huge and hard to explain vote totals by issues alone. And many of those states, including Texas, did not require proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Talarico got more early votes than Paxton got total votes and he spent 2 of the last weeks of the campaign, well, somewhere completely off the campaign trail. He got a historic number of votes for a Democrat running on transing kids, killing the oil and gas industry and making the border a welcome mat for illegals. Oh and hating Christians. In Texas.

In 1913, there was no radio news, no TV. A few of the Lakes ships might have been equipped with wireless telegraphy, but probably not all. If distress calls went out, the few who heard them would not be able to make it widely known in a short time. Some of the missing ships may not have been deemed lost until days after they failed to arrive at their destination.

If you haven't seen it you should watch the video DataRepublican recently posted. It's a compilation of various NGO leaders explaining exactly what they did to recruit an army of people, paid and volunteer, to register new voters for the 2026 midterms.

Look at the total number of Democrat votes this past election. It was a presidential turnout for the left. And no, they weren't that angry.

Our Congressional reps mostly suck. But we didn't get dragged because of the price of oil. The left found a way to get 20 more million votes than we had. Somehow. Unexpectedly. We better figure out how to play that game or it won't matter what policies are in play.

Here’s a bit of the Texas numbers.
From the census bureau, 2026 Texas population numbers:
Hispanic/Latino : 41.7%
White/Non-Hispanic: 37%
Black/Asian/Other: 21%

The election breakdown this year, in Texas (roughly)
Hispanic: 75/25 in favor of Dems
Anglo/Non Hispanic: 75/25 GOP
Black/Asian/Other: 80/20 Dem

.75 x .417 =0.313
.25 x .37 =0.0925
.80 x .21 =0.168

.31 + .09 + .16 =0.56

That’s how Texas Dems wiped out the GOP by double digit margins this time.

Also look at the number of states that don't require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Texas is one of them until Jan 1, 2027.

If you remember weeks before the election the DOJ sued CA to sequester 20,000 votes that they suspected were not American voters. That's a fraction of the overall numbers but even then CA fought it and leftist judges supported the state.

More than half of US states don't require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Some don't even require ID to vote. Blue states fought the DOJ for over a year about turning over their voter rolls for bullshit reasons.

Kind of missing the point. If a county historically voted 10 to 1 in on direction and last election went to 10 to 2 then it moved direction.

Nobody who claims this was all about the price of eggs and Iran ever explains how Talarico got 5.4 million votes when Beto the fake Mexican got 2 million fewer in 2022. Paxton didn't lose support, he got about average for a Republican in a midterm senate race in Texas. How did the weirdo who wasn't nearly as nationally celebrated as Beto find 2 million more votes?

Probably the same way Joe got 81 million votes.

I said during the campaign that Hinojoza couldn’t win because she wasn’t even running a campaign. I was wrong on both counts.

Gina Hinojoza ran what was in retrospect one of the most brilliant insurgent campaigns ever. It was all on Spanish language media, internet and radio, and us Anglos never even noticed it. She and her people pushed the line that ICE was coming for ALL of them, didn’t matter if they were citizens or not. Abbot never noticed this campaign so no Republicans ever even challenged this claim, so it went unrefuted.

From 2024 to 2026, average Hispanic vote showed a +29 point shift in favor of the Dems, and the 14 Hispanic majority border counties showed a + 38 point shift. And Hispanic turnout was the heaviest ever seen in a Texas election.

We thought Talarico vs Paxton was the most important race. We were wrong. Hinojoza vs Abbot was the race that drove everything, and she kicked Abbot’s ass.

Not sure I get your A to B.

Why did Texas allow people to register to vote without proof of citizenship? A law was finally passed in 2025 to stop that but the enforcement doesn't happen until next year. That was one of those huge mistakes.

Far too often people keep focusing on election machines instead of looking for loophole in the law. The left does.

Why do you think the Motor Voter laws were passed and Democrats push so hard to give illegals drivers licenses? Why did the Save America Act get over 80% approval, even a majority of Democrats, if people didn't at least worry about illegal voting? Because they obviously do.

Fraud isn't always a blunt instrument. It's more often finding weak spots and exploiting them. That's what early voting is all about.

There they were told their signature was good ;but poll workers had not initialed the ballots invalidating them. So far all have been black voters.

Yes, exactly.

And if you made sure that every polling station required a valid (for Federal elections) state-issued ID before the ballot were handed to the voter, what would that outcome have been?

Our outgoing GOPe governor, here in Georgia, installed Dominion voting machines as soon as he was in office. These machines have been proven, in court, to be connected to the internet and controllable from elsewhere. It’s Uniparty, all the way down.

Fraud isn't always a blunt instrument. It's more often finding weak spots and exploiting them. That's what early voting is all about.
Posted by: JackStraw at November 11, 2026 12:17 AM (viF8m)

Finding weak spots and legally exploiting them isn’t fraud, it’s just smart politics, and it’s our fault that our enemies are so much better at it than we are. Abbot was Governor for three terms, had Republican majorities in both houses, and he just started to think about tightening up voter registration last year? Inexcusable.

And why didn’t anyone in his organization pay attention to what Hinojoza was doing? Because he was so sure that he’d be anointed for a 4th term that he never bothered campaigning at all. He thought he no longer needed to make the effort.

But everyone does have to show ID to vote in Texas, most commonly their drivers license.

Here’s the rub; “You do not need to be a U.S. citizen to get a Texas driver’s license. Texas allows non‑citizens to apply as long as they can prove lawful presence in the United States, identity, and Texas residency.”

Unlikely to be illegals, they can’t get drivers license. The loophole is for Legal resident aliens, who CAN get drivers licenses. Official reports say there are currently 5.8 million legal resident aliens in Texas. (Amusingly that’s over 5 times the population of Rhode Island)

241 I will say that I know of only two cases where valid eligible citizens were disenfranchised:

Me, because I said that serving on a Jury in the county I was registered to vote in would be a burden as I worked full time in a different county (Jury commissioner conspired with the registrar of voters to have this American of half Mexican heritage removed from the rolls, then put me back on when it was too late for me to file a complaint--being a registered R in a D county had nothing to do with it, I'm sure).

My Dad. Turns out, when he moved in with my brother in Missouri, he could not prove via his birth certificate who he was (birth certificate had his first name as "Baby"...apparently he was removed from the hospital before his name was registered), even though Dad fought in WW2...My brother made a deal with him: Dad wouldn't vote, and my brother would vote the way Dad wanted him to instead of spending all the time required to get Dad's birth certificate fixed so Dad could register to vote.

You’re carefully ignoring the case I’ve been making. We thought Talarico/Paxton was the important race because we care about national politics. But the majority who voted for Hinojoza mostly didn’t care about national politics and didn’t give a damn about the Senate race. They just wanted a cute looking Mexican girl who campaigned for their votes to be Governor, and they voted for all her allies because she said so.

Gina Hinojoza ran what was in retrospect one of the most brilliant insurgent campaigns ever. It was all on Spanish language media, internet and radio, and us Anglos never even noticed it.

It seems that there is an expectation for the rule of law and respect for the constitution. As far as the Dems are concerned that ship has sailed and until we get some steel spines who are willing to do what is necessary the decline will continue.

289 Braenyard-- here's an excerpt from Greenfield:

"Democrats have always had a straightforward plan to flip Texas, the way that they had flipped California, Minnesota and other states, and that was to import and settle the maximum number of immigrants and minorities, build taxpayer-funded community organizations to serve them, register them to vote and then get their ballots, while removing any kind of election security."

Posted by: JQ at November 11, 2026 01:50 AM (rdVOm)

290 Also, this:

"IDs are a step forward, but the country is also rife with fake IDs and every other illegal alien abuses IDs to be able to work.

And most crucially, voter registration is electioneering and should be treated that way. No non-profits should be allowed to engage in any step in the election process. No one who is not a government employee or government organization should be allowed to take money in exchange for helping to register voters even if they’re just providing ‘information’ about how to register."

292 86 Re: The Edmund Fitzgerald

I have a high school classmate who was a cook on the Fitz, as a summer job. He was back in school at the end of August, and avoided being the first in our class to die.

My girlfriend's father was an EVP at Olglebay Norton at the time the Fitz went down. A very grim, quiet house in the days that followed. When Gordon Lightfoot's song came out, he about had a stroke ... the song made him so angry.

Gordon Lightfoot donated all the proceeds from the song to the families of the sailors so he did not profit off the sinking.

And the 1913 storm that led to the 19 ships sinking led to the construction of the Splitrock lighthouse on the shore of Lake Superior. Which still stands, restored, to this day. I had a chance to visit this fall.

294 The D's have perfected the fine art of cheating. They didn't do it in 2024 because they knew Kamala would weaken the brand even more than Biden. And they figured their allies in the Media and Entertainment would go after Trump double-speed.

What they didn't expect was that Trump would act on what he said he'd do. They thought he was another Bush, "Say things but don't do them."

Anyone who thinks his stance on deporting illegals hurt him doesn't seem to realize that people who were affronted by his treatment of illegals wasn't going to vote for him anyway.

At any rate, I hope he nukes Iran, then Pakistan, then Somalia. Then China. Because I no longer care what happens to the failed experiment known as "the human race."

Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile all told SpaceX "NO" when it asked to use their networks. SpaceX is building its own:

This deal with Grain Management secures 546 paired licenses covering ~100% of the U.S. population, on 800 MHz low band that penetrates straight through walls and already works with almost every smartphone.

Once it closes, SpaceX will hold up to 89 MHz of spectrum in every market it touches.

Elon Musk: "This is the last critical piece of the spectrum puzzle needed for SpaceX to provide complete phone coverage in America."

More disqualifying is gaveling in a pro forma session to prevent Trump from getting recess appointments -- and that appears to be all of the Republican junior Senators, since they rotated it around. But each one, when up for re-election, should get a primary challenger, and should be repeatedly challenged by conservative media to justify their cowardly betrayal of Republican voters' priorities.

At the risk of angering the entire herd, I will offer my pet theory on the recent electoral results.
Young adults are terrified of the Republican party obstructing their sexual promiscuity. The position that a fertilized (one cell) ovum should have personhood rights terrifies them and drives them to the Democrat party. That position would IIRC prohibit the IUD as well as the “morning after pill”.
I suggest reviewing the thoughts of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Acquinas on the topic of “delayed ensoulment”.
Failure to address this issue will prevent Republicans from ever winning a nationwide election again.

Darn, I forgot to link this classic for Halloween.

In an update to a Halloween post, the yard decoration of a red-haired girl levitating spookily over a yard -- apparently a character in Stranger Things -- has been taken down due to a neighbor's complaint.

He wasn't just a Grinch. The neat Levitating Girl display drew lots of crowds of strangers to the neighborhood, and he feared the crowds were providing criminals and home invaders with an excuse to go into the neighborhood and case houses.

I don't know -- is that a good enough reason to ask that it be taken down?

Either way, this is what happens when a society decides it no longer wants the law and order of a high-trust society and instead wants the disorder, danger, and fear of a low-trust society.

Another interesting thing Vera Rubin is looking for is the dreaded "Planet X", another big planet way out there. Current models have it about 5 earth masses, and roughly 300AU distance, orbital period about 7400 years, eccentric and about 16 degrees inclination.

Rubin has about an 80% chance of seeing it the first two years of operation if it exists. They may already found something, but haven't announced it yet. They'll want to go over years and years of archival data before they'd even think of announcing something this big.

While I'd love for Planet X to exist, OTOH, it would tickle me if it didn't. It's possible some of the observations that suggest it exists are just a coincidence, and if they are not, a very big massive ring of debris way out there could do it as well.

Mike Brown, the one who killed Pluto as a planet, and is damned proud of it, is big on this Planet X model predictions. He'd love to get credit for being the one who predicted it. And I've love for him to be dead wrong.

The GOP long ago decided to out-wait Trump, run out the clock. Mission accomplished. The voters dutifully returned these (mostly) idiotic losers throughout.

Much good can/will still be accomplished by the executive alone in 2 years. All of it (well, most of it) reversible within 24 hours if a Dem is in the WH next time.

And exoplanets continue to surprise and confound. TOI-561 b turns out to have a atmosphere. This planet is a superearth, about 2 earth masses. What's remarkable is it orbits its star very close, just 0.01 AU, with an orbital period of 10 hours. The star is a G9 class, a little less massive than the sun, still G class but almost K, so yellowish-orange.

It's so close they figured it couldn't possibly have an atmosphere, but it does. It's likely a lava ocean world, temperature around 3000F on the permanent day side, and a nice 1500F on the night side.

Some recent JWST observations have determined it has a high albedo, and a thick atmosphere, which confounds the models.

184 130 The GOP Senate is now beyond parody. Remember the "leadership" wasn't re-selected by Chy-nah, no electronic hacking of votes, no non-citizens voting. That's your Senate GOP ladies and gents.

The GOP long ago decided to out-wait Trump, run out the clock. Mission accomplished. The voters dutifully returned these (mostly) idiotic losers throughout.

Much good can/will still be accomplished by the executive alone in 2 years. All of it (well, most of it) reversible within 24 hours if a Dem is in the WH next time. I can see the giddy coverage contractors cutting huge gaps in the border barrier, ecstatic coverage of deportees re-united with family (also illegal, still here) already. And the CVs will be flying out of ICE and the BP like Moroccans pouring into Mellila.

209 "When cats attack their owners."

I had to resort to extreme measures when a cat went feral. I did try to give it a chance by locking it out of the house. Lots of squirrels and field mice around so a cat preditor could survive. My Alzhiermers wife let it back into the house.

I trapped it in a bedroom. It hid under the bed. Unfortunately for that beast, I have a .22 revolver. I used .22 shorts inside the house. First shot crippled it, second shot killed it, 20 seconds total.

Feral cat: you can't get near it, claws out and fighting if you try to capture it, yet it still expects food and a litter box. A post hole digger is very useful for disposing of a dead cat.

DHS announces another round of dangerous illegal criminals arrested.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had apprehended an array of criminal illegal aliens with prior convictions for murder, sexual assault, and drug trafficking.
The announcement comes as part of the DHS's "Worst of the Worst" initiative, which aims to spotlight the criminal illegal aliens with the worst criminal records and showcase the danger presented by their presence in American communities.
"Under President Trump, there will be no amnesty for illegal aliens, including in sanctuary cities which put illegal aliens over their own citizens. Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, sexual predators, and drug traffickers," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. "We will continue to carry out the American people's mandate to arrest and deport illegal aliens from our nation."
With Trump's second term nearly two years in, federal agencies have deported roughly one million people through convention methods, though agencies have claimed at least 2 million more through voluntary exits. Direct arrests and enforcement efforts have prioritized those with criminal records.

DANGEROUS ILLEGAL MISSING
Shageldi Bashimov, an illegal alien from Turkmenistan convicted of aggravated battery, was RELEASED from an Illinois prison despite having an ICE detainer.
Bashimov is now wanted by authorities.
This is the Democrats' plan for the country: Free foreign criminals who terrorize Americans.

The House Oversight Committee released its final report on Jeffrey Epstein.

Surprise, Trump was not involved with the guy he called the cops on.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released the final report Tuesday on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the federal government's handling of the criminal case against the late financier.
The report is critical of how Democrats on the committee were "obsessed with trying to implicate President Trump and insinuate that he was involved in the crimes of Epstein and Maxwell." Despite these efforts, according to the report, the report did not find any evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's crimes.
The report wraps up a 15-month investigation, which included 19 transcribed interviews and depositions with key witnesses, the release of documents from the Department of Justice and the Epstein estate, and an extensive review of financial records.
...
The report provides details on how Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in 2019, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who us serving time in connection with recruiting young women for Epstein, had a network that facilitated the recruitment and control of young women who were abused, as well as how Epstein cultivated relationships with powerful individuals that were leveraged to establish financial and social legitimacy.

Stop me if you heard this one before: a Democrat politician lies about his service history and claims Stolen Valor for votes.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat who won re-election on Nov. 3, reportedly lied about his military service, claiming he saw combat when he did not.
In his 2015 book, "The Work," Moore claimed that he went through months of pre-deployment training with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but Fox Baltimore reported that it found no Army records substantiating that claim. Moore has also claimed to have led troops in combat and to be a paratrooper, but neither are accurate representations of his military service, the outlet said.
His service was good, but he was not in combat, says former supervising officer
Retired Lt. Col. James A. "Jamie" Gottschling, the Army officer who supervised Moore, told Fox Baltimore that while Moore served honorably, he wasn't in combat.
"Be honest," Gottschling told the outlet when asked what he would say to Moore. "His service in Afghanistan was good. He was a valued member of the brigade staff." But he added, "It's disingenuous to say that you led paratroopers in combat or that you did what would be direct action activities in a combat zone."
Neither Moore nor Gottschling responded to inquiries from Just the News.
Moore said in his May 2022 victory speech, after first being elected governor in Maryland, that he had "led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan," The Hill reported at the time.
Gottschling was able to highlight Moore's actual daily activities in Afghanistan, which did not include combat or leading troops. The Lt. Col. told the outlet that Moore is airborne qualified, but did not train with the brigade before they deployed in 2005, nor did he conduct any training jumps. Moore arrived in Afghanistan on Aug. 15, nearly five months after the 1st Brigade of the storied 82nd Airborne Division had deployed.
"He's not a paratrooper," Gottschling told the outlet.
Instead, Moore said Gottschling's daily work included analyzing reports from infantry battalions and reconstruction teams, coordinating civilian assistance, and training Afghan officials how to communicate with the public, Fox Baltimore reported.
"He did a really good job trying to train the Afghans how to kind of sell their own story," Gottschling said. Gottschling told the outlet that Moore was not part of the brigade's kinetic combat activities, but was involved in "information operations."

The Bills are now a run-first offense under Joe Brady. Allen isn't going to throw a ton of TDs this year, but the offense is still top shelf. Brady now 7-1 in his first half season as a head coach. He called a hell of a game against a tough, tough opponent last night. That was a trial by fire and Brady passed with flying colors. I like the cut of his jib.

"Airborne Qualified" means he made it through the basic parachutist course, did his five jumps, and gets to wear the flying ice cream cone badge on his uniform.

To be on "Jump Status" and collect the extra danger pay associated with it you have to make a certain number of jumps per a certain time period.

Husband is making nachos for his demented wife he adores when probably not wanting to kill me. I've had two glasses of white whine, the second voiding of my Friday rule.

A day of getting nothing done after being really great yesterday!

Then we had a hiccup of him not finding my mother's last will last night and a fubar of uncertainty. All is well as we figured it out (he was afraid he was still executor). We don't think he is except for my father's trust.

My father's trust is for reasons unknown separte from hers and I am waiting for the demented wife of my brother to mess with me after the funeral someday.

Plus the weird family showing up that will force me and one son into a restroom to try to stifle inappropriate laughter and probably trumpet or snorting suppressed laughter. The tears will fit in, I guess.

It's all good!!! It's all going to be fine!

Qualified airborne = went to the school and passed all requirements.

Mike Johnson Takes Accountability and Steps Down from House Leadership; Jim Jordan Elected to Replace Him

Mike Johnson did what McConnell's protege and butt-boy John Thune refuses to do: He stepped down from leadership.

Jim Jordan was elected in his place.

I'm not thrilled about that either, but at least someone demonstrated some accountability.

House Republicans on Tuesday selected Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to lead Republican lawmakers in the minority in the next Congress.
Members of the conference chose between him and Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
The vote was 106 for Jordan and 73 for Scalise, according to Punchbowl News.
House Speaker Mike Johnson decided to step down from leadership after the party's loss in the midterms.

In an update: One of the world's richest communists, the pro-rape Venture Socialist Bernie Sanders, declares that Schumer must go.

First thing I've agreed with him on in years.

Overton
@Overton_News
And...here...we...go.
This is going to be a bloodbath between the socialists and the establishment within the Democrat Party.
85-year-old socialist Bernie Sanders just publicly came out AGAINST reelecting Chuck Schumer as Senate Democratic Leader in the next Congress.
SANDERS: "I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years. And I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer."
"But in my view, the time is now for change."
"And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader."

Let the battle begin.

The CIA Karen who wants to prosecute Trump officials to scare young people from joining the conservative movement is also a "no" on Schumer:

NEW: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says he will not support Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for Senate Majority Leader. He�s joined by Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) who also says shes a �no� on Schumer �right now�. Slotkin met with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) yesterday, who has expressed interest in running against Schumer. I asked her about that meeting & if she would support Van Hollen if he ran. She said it was a �productive�great meeting�, but she needs to see a plan and evaluate further.
— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) November 10, 2026

For his part, Schumer is trying to show what a Big Tough Nebbish he is.

🚨 NOW: Chuck Schumer just RAGED and demanded a trial for SecWar Pete Hegseth in the Senate, and REMOVAL from office
NOT HAPPENING!
"America needs a serious Secretary of Defense, not a WANNABE WARLORD! Republicans need to listen to the American people. End this war. Put Pete Hegseth on trial before the Senate!"
"It's time for Republicans to decide where their loyalty lies. With Trump, or with the country they swore an oath to protect!"
"GET HIM OUT!" 🤡
Pete, Trump, Vance and a flurry of Republicans have made CLEAR this sham impeachment is not going to have any actual effect.
Our SecWar is for warfighters and they can't STAND IT
— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 10, 2026

House Speaker Mike Johnson NUKES pathetic RINO Rep. Thomas Massie (KY): �Thomas Massie is a disgruntled congressman, and the impeachment effort is a political gambit for attention.�
�I think Secretary Hegseth did an extraordinary job. I watched most of the press conference. I thought he did very well. I expect that we�re going to defeat that one way or the other, and we�ll get on with the business.�
�The idea that you would impeach the Secretary of War at a time of international conflict sends a terrible message to our enemies and our allies, and we are not going to play that game. You don�t impeach a Cabinet secretary lightly. They had no due process. There�s nothing that went into this. This is just purely for people to get attention, and it�s shameful.�

The reality is, we had a bare majority and the usual RINOs in the Senate killed everything.

Jordan is much more soft, but he's better than nothing, I guess, and he gets along with Trump the vast majority of the time, so that's a plus..

I'm not sure this is going to end the way Dems are used to. I think a hostile takeover is more than possible.

But the international cash dams are now busted open. I think it's also possible that some of these Dem Oldies will insist on 10 times their usual bribe money, stocks in whatever companies and industries get chosen as the next money laundering scams, prominent positions on boards of those companies for their children and grandchildren, book deals, tv shows... all the ways these folks have been getting paid off in plain sight, and nobody realized it. They're old, and getting tired. It's hard to give up power, but lots of money and a few subtle threats on your life can be very persuasive.

They're just cycling back into the mid 2000s, when just before Obamacare they were saying "We can't wait for the dinosaurs to die off". And they were pondering do they really need to wait of the "dinosaurs to die off?"

Which was why "death panels" and "last year of life" was so noticeable in Obamascare.

The issue is early voting. It should be a laser focus to get Republicans voting early. That is goal number 1 above anything else. This is where the Dems kicked out asses. In Texas the election was over before Election Day happened. Get early votes on par with Dems and we’ve solved 3/4 of the problem.

142 Pete's briefing was very good. Pithy direct approach on all key points. Just a tiny bit of the SOP distorted diss of previous administrations on Iran. Hegseth was a perfect hire and seems to me the agenda is also spot on: transforming the services back to what they're meant to be. Bureaucracy, general officer/contractor revolving door rice bowl, procurement problems also there of course. But personnel quality, mindset, and recruitment/retention the priority, and on those it's all home runs since the outset.

The old 1968 zombies in the Dem party are on their way out, being supplanted just as they kicked out those before them. The question is whether the cheating apparatus and funding will remain in their control. I think it will.

Over in muslim-land, they likely know they aren't going to pull off a sweep as quick as they did in europe, so they just have to keep the pressure up and be the squeakiest wheel aomthe proga keep pandering to them until later demographics finishes the issue. Parts of NA are lost to them until they are literally kicked out. You will find no examples - none, not one - of muslim populations being compatible long term with what we consider civilization.

153 gp I haven't studied to find solid data but I think GOP turnout was "normal" for the context. Dem turnout was historically anomalously huge, wonder how many sigmas over the norm? Vance claims Trump 2024 switching was a factor, doubt it was much. His hot take was based on talking to Mark Mitchell, one of the pollsters whose issue-ignorance is so dramatic its comical. But predictable this would be the guy Vance takes his hot take from.

"It was so cool talking to some them, they said they regretted doing business with us the way they had for many years" (approximate Vance quote about Iran talks, not meant as parody, continuation of brick-stupid statements on foreign policy by him going back years).

You can't run on not starting new wars and then start (and fail to finish - nobody gave a shit about Maduro getting snatched) new wars and expect voters to turn out for you.

Trump's idealism that spurred him to run in the first place works against him here. Middle red america largely doesn't give a shit about blue shitholes getting a nuke or two, and the millenials and younger that got the shit end of the GWOT want nothing to do with the middle east and aren't keen on anything they perceive as sticking our neck out for Isreal.

This outcome was so predictable that I have to assume large parts of the pentagon enabled it on purpose.

173 AI Summary:

After Ace of Spades' refusal to step down from his position following the historic shellacking in the midterms, Thomas Massie led calls for Ace to be impeached by a coalition of Islamocommunist Democrats and Tuq'r Qatarlson Republicans and to face trial in the Senate.

Only eight GOP Senators called for a delay in the trial as John Thune rushed to push a vote.

However, before he could be detained by US Marshalls, Ace was extracted by a phase two Delta Force assault team led by Stephen Miller and he is expected to resume his activities from a server farm located on an Israeli submarine.

Grok @grok

Zero. Over his 14 years in Congress, trackers including PolitiTrack, LegiList, and http://Congress.gov show Massie as primary sponsor of roughly 98–126 bills and resolutions, none of which became law. He has cosponsored measures that did (such as the Epstein Files Transparency Act) and seen some of his ideas incorporated into larger packages.

I'm just waiting with a case of popcorn for when the CA Supreme Court rules that rejecting a billionaire tax is unconstitutional, and the commie cocksucker CA billionaires start caterwauling about how much it costs for a tuneup on their Bentley.

If the CA GOP had any hair on their balls, they'd introduce 180% taxes on private jet ownership AND rentals. Not to mention, mandating that private jet passengers at CA airports have to go through public airport gates, complete with TSA screening by some 83 IQ Somali immigrant in a blue uniform.

196 106-73 for Jordan is not accountability; it is a caucus rewarding the member who never had to make an appropriations deal. Johnson was punished for the midterm outcome, not for a strategy, and Thune keeps the Senate job for the mirror reason: fewer plausible replacements, and everyone in the room knows it. If swapping leaders after a loss were accountability, something besides the name on the door would have changed.
The real fight inside the conference, message versus delivery, has two honest sides, and that argument is worth more than the jeering. I work on TheBareNews (thebarenews.ai), which publishes one shared factual account of each story and then two AI-written columns, Left and Right; it does no original reporting. On this leadership change the columns split exactly there, purge versus demanding a strategy that fights: https://tinyurl.com/2d6pk3z6
