Avalanche. All the snow goes, down to the dirt. I didn't realize that happened. I always had an idea that snow was still left behind.

Walter the raven.

Cute puppy digs hole at beach, and they bravely, and futilely, tries to defend it from the encroaching ocean. The house always wins, kid.

Sorry I'm late, my car got run over by a horse.

I think I've linked this before, but it's a good one: a family of rescues, including a crow.

Raising a premature baby bat who got separated from its mother.

Raising a special needs duckling.

1. Nature is fucking gross. 2. The human body is fucking disgusting.

Little girl learns (or re-learns) how to walk.

Babies are easily amused. It's really nice hearing babies laugh. (How do they even know what's funny? I guess laughter is inborn, but... how? Why?)

Fast and Furious 11: Shanghai Bamboo Drift.

The cat stole the dogbed for the last time.

Rescuing a baby elephant.

Top ten baby elephants.

This baby elephant is officially too adorable.

Ron DeSantis is trying to find a home for this beautiful dog rescued from the chaos of Biden's border.

Same. Had a job in high school working as the grunt for a construction company. They got a job puttiing a new roof on church and my job was to carry bundles of shingles up the ladder and onto the roof.

Lost my footing carrying 2 bundles of shingles and went right off the roof. Fortunately, we had set up ladder staging and landed on it. They let me stay on the ground for the rest of the day. Hated that job.

When I was in my late teens, I was looking for a summer job, and the family of a friend of mine owned a stone masonry business. I asked him if they had any work, and he cheerfully said, sure, and invited me to come out to one of their job sites. The job that was available involved sitting on some kind of sawhorse-like contraption with a hand-operated winch close to the edge of the open wall, about seven or eight stories up. That's when I decided that riding on one of Pa Paco's garbage trucks didn't look like such an awful job after all.

I watched Sea Hunt as a kid and got hooked. Got the bug to dive in the Caribbean so I took a year off from college and went to PR and found a job teaching diving and doing some commercial diving. The dive shop was located in the Caribe Hilton Hotel which was a massive resort right outside downtown San Juan.

Posted by: I'm Gumby Damn it! at April 26, 2024 08:06 PM


The problem with parrots as pets is they can live for 80 years. We had an African Grey parrot named Sarah Ann Marie for years. When she turned 20 she "matured" and started screaming for a boyfriend, laying unfertilized eggs and just being an all around mess and a brat. We gave her to a breeder who mated her with one of his boy parrots and she started laying $1,500 eggs.


As far as I know she is still alive and kicking as that was only 30 years ago.

And if that don't fix it, both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors.

At least the original Bosch MAF is only $45.00.

And I can get the original Bosch O2 sensors for about $65.00 each from RockAuto.

Maf is $498.00 and the O2 Sensor are well over $225.00 each at the Volvo dealer.

Should get the parts next week.

Quick Hits 2: Tokyo Drift


Biden forgot the date of January 6th, even though he says it every third sentence.

President Joe Biden suffered yet another gaffe Thursday as he mixed up the date of the Jan. 6 riots during a glitzy fundraiser hosted by Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones at their Westchester home.

Biden, the oldest-ever US president at 81, made the blunder as he ripped his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, 77, in front of the star-studded crowd.

"We'll certainly never forget the dark days of June 6, January 6th, excuse me," the commander-in-chief said, according to a White House pool report.


Video here.

Biden's chief of strategy tried to gently encourage Karine Jean-Pierre to leave the job she is so horribly incompetent at, but she was too fucking stupid to take the hint.


De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on, sources told The Post.

"There was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career," the source said, calling it an "effort to encourage her to move along."

Jean-Pierre, the person added, "had been in the job for a year and a half at that point, which is a pretty standard tenure for a press secretary in what is admittedly a very demanding job [and] Jeff and Anita [tried] to have folks that she would listen to and trust talk to her about why it might be wise to do that."

Jean-Pierre's predecessor, Jen Psaki, was press secretary for one week shy of 16 months before leaving to take a job as a host and analyst at MSNBC.

A second source told The Post that "Jeff [Zients] and Anita [Dunn] were trying to find Karine a graceful exit" because of the ugly optics of removing her against her will.

"There's a huge diversity issue and they're afraid of what folks are going to say," added this source, who said they learned of the effort from multiple people briefed by Dunn and confirmed at least one person from outside the administration did speak with Jean-Pierre.

The revelation of Dunn's plan is likely to make for awkward workplace dynamics, the first source said, but is unlikely to result in Jean-Pierre's departure.

"She has been pretty consistent in telling people from the minute she got the job that she was going to stay through the election," they said.


"I think Karine has decided to stay come hell or high water and that's that."

CNN's ratings disaster Poppy Harlow is bright enough to take the hint.

Veteran CNN host Poppy Harlow is leaving the struggling cable news network -- two months after the cancellation of "CNN This Morning," where a slew of on-air meltdowns had sparked last year's ouster of Don Lemon.

Republicans want the IRS to look into Chinese funding of anti-Israel protests and riots.

Oh, and China is also behind "Green Energy" propaganda, to cripple the country.

House lawmakers called on the IRS to investigate U.S.-based anti-Israel activist groups that have financial links to China, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon on Wednesday.

Members of the House Ways and Means Committee said they are concerned that "foreign adversaries are taking advantage of loopholes to impact American political activity with little-to-no transparency."

The letter follows reports connecting the Chinese government to a network of U.S.-based nonprofit groups.

The People's Forum, a group that helped organize anti-Israel walkouts in New York City public schools, is bankrolled by Chinese propagandist and tech mogul Neville Roy Singham, the New York Times reported last year. The organization encouraged student protesters to shout anti-Semitic chants, such as "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a slogan that calls for the elimination of the Jewish state.

"Not only do these activities raise serious national security concerns, but they also raise questions about whether organizations like this receive foreign funding from America's adversaries and whether the Internal Revenue Service ('IRS') is conducting oversight of entities like these," wrote the lawmakers in a letter to IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel.

The letter also raised concerns about other China-linked political groups. The Energy Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit that promotes climate change activism, operates primarily out of China and has significant ties to the government, Fox News reported in December.

The Energy Foundation has pushed for U.S. green energy policies that would benefit China, which dominates the global solar energy and battery industries.

Hamas and Iran are, get this, big fans of anti-Israel (and anti-Jew) protests on American "college" campuses.

An official with the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the supreme leader of Iran have praised the growing college campus protests in the United States against Israel's military offensive in Gaza, including pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University that have driven fear into the hearts of Jewish students.

Columbia University in New York City announced a shift to hybrid classes after protestors set up a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" last Wednesday. This led to the arrest of more than 100 people after Columbia University President Minouche Shafik authorized police to clear the camp. The demonstrators resettled the encampment, and there have been multiple reports of Jewish members of Columbia's community feeling unsafe due to the encampment.

The demonstration has prompted calls for the Biden administration to take away the school's federal funding and discipline the demonstrators, which some say should include revoking the visas of the students expressing support for terrorist groups.

Um, obviously. Stupid American brats have the right to chant "Death to America" in America. Nasty terrorist foreigners do not. Being here is a privilege, not a right.

Oh what am I talking about, The Regime has decided that every f*cking foreigner in the world has an inalienable right to mob up in America.


On Wednesday, Izzat Al-Risheq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, accused the Biden administration of violating student and faculty rights, claiming that they are only rejecting "the genocide that our Palestinian people are the subjected in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the neo-Nazi Zionists."

USA Today quoted the Hamas official as saying, "Today's students are the leaders of the future."

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also praised the protests.

"Western governments say the Resistance Front is terrorism," Khamenei wrote in a tweet. "This comes at a time when people flew Hezbollah's flag in a street in the US. The people of the world are supporting the Resistance Front because they are resisting & because they are against oppression."

Khamenei's "oppression" comment comes as the Islamic Republic of Iran has a notorious record for infringing on the rights of religious minorities through imprisonment. Iran also used lethal force to crack down on widespread protests in 2022.

Remember during the Iraq War when Bill Kristol would attack anyone questioning the war as giving support to terrorists?

He's not saying that anymore, is he?

Iran is begging students to stop Israel's war against its proxies. Half of Hez'ballah's commanders have been exterminated in the Hez'ballah stronghold of south Lebanon.

Israeli counterstrikes have killed "half of Hezbollah's commanders in southern Lebanon," Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed on April 24. Gallant's remarks came as Israel launched an unusually intense wave of bombing sorties against the Iran-backed terrorist group's forces in southern Lebanon. "These were the men responsible for belligerent actions, for the drive to strike at the citizens of the State of Israel," Gallant said during a visit to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Northern Command. The other half, he added, "are in hiding and abandoning southern Lebanon in the face of IDF actions."

Gallant signaled that Israel could escalate to a ground operation if mediated diplomatic efforts to get Hezbollah to withdraw from the border failed. "Our main objective was and remains to bring about a different security situation here and for residents of the northern State of Israel to be able to go back home to quiet and safety," Gallant said, referring to some 80,000 civilians evacuated from border communities. "The coming period will be decisive in this regard."

Google has fired more employees who were involved in protests over the tech company's cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The workers held sit-ins at the company's offices in California and New York over Google's $1.2 billion contract to provide custom tools for Israeli's military.

Google has fired an additional 20 employees who participated in a protest last week against the company's defense contract with the Israeli government.

This brings the total number of employees laid off due to the protest to 50, according to the group that organized the demonstrations, No Tech for Apartheid.

My count is 48 total but you know, Hamas sympathizers tend to inflate numbers, don't they?

Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the group, said some of the dismissed employees were "nonparticipating bystanders" during the sit-in protests held on April 16 at Google's offices in Sunnyvale and New York. The group labeled the tech giant's action as an "aggressive and desperate act of retaliation."

The media rule: If rightwingers get into a scuffle with cops, they "attacked hardworking policemen."

If leftwingers attack cops, write that there were "clashes with police." It's just a case of mutual combat -- no bad guys, no good guys, just all misunderstandings all around.

47 Notice that the squatter said she (it?) was encouraged to do this by others.

- I suspect big RE corporations are encouraging this in order to change tenant rights laws, so that they can more easily evict.

- Also, china, just to destroy the West.

I think I said it here that China is the most likely funder behind student protests. They have had a lot of trouble originating in their student population, so of course they see this as a vulnerable point on our society. They have also worked hard to police their student population at home and abroad. And, of course they won the VN war in large part due to student protests in the USA.

I don’t think this is China; why should they spend a dime when they can kick back and watch others do it? Many anti-American groups exist in this country that can organized this just as well. For a foreign source of money? Saudi Arabia (they love paying off everybody) or Qatar.

90 That poor fella at the Ghetto Store is prolly on probation or parole and he has to restrain himself from stomping a mudhole in that sodomite's ass to stay out the joint.

No one deserves to be treated like that. He has a right to be free from harassment by a sexual deviant sodomite while at his place of work.

Always swing on the sodomite, then when they are picking up their teeth explain to them biology as you show them the door.

It's 63K and change before destination of 1500, so it's 65k base price. You add any options like roof rack, side steps, ARB compressor, etc and you can get that sucker over 70K before you add taxes, title and fees.

In an active war scenario, the best bioweapon is one that kills everybody it contacts right away, but rather kills a good number after a few days to a week, forcing other to take care of the sick, thus taking out even more combatants.

The Fast and the Furious Short News Items

Zoom In: Meet the New Left, Which Embraces the Swastika as a Symbol of Wokeness.


Not terribly different from the old left, then.

The left is always looking for new transgressions. Their old ones have gotten stale -- so it's time to embrace the swastika.


Goodbye, intersectionality -- hello, "It's All One Thingism."

In this nebulous new cosmology, Palestinians -- even Hamas themselves -- aren't just engaged in a specific geopolitical fight over territory and resources. No, they're the tip of the spear of a perceived collective liberation against the West, the Global North, "colonisers," whatever you want to call the Bad Guys. It's a magical world in which all politics and world affairs once seen through intersectionality's colourful prism have been flattened into (somewhat ironically for self-proclaimed atheists) a more Biblical view of the world: black-and-white, good and evil.

"Palestine is every single issue in one issue," wrote Scarlett Rabe, a singer-songwriter who describes herself as an anti-racist mother and an abolition feminist/womanist, in a viral tweet in February. "It's reproductive justice. It's social justice. It's climate crisis... It's not just one issue; it's all the issues in one."

All One Thingism explains why a group of a few hundred masked protestors who chanted "Death to America" and "Hands off Iran" this week also employed the relatively meaningless slogan "From Chicago to Palestine." Or that another viral post on Instagram by a person wearing a "Fatties for a Free Palestine" T-shirt insisted that "Palestinian solidarity is not a niche issue. Fat liberation and Palestinian liberation go hand in hand."

During the Trans Day of Visibility, a Palestine flag flew above the Trans flag during some marches, with one sign explaining that "Liberations are linked." Some are even talking up BRICS as allies (maybe Putin and Xi aren't so bad after all?) and -- yes -- even looking back fondly at the Khmer Rouge.

See the article for the embrace of the swastika. Lefties are now defending defacing Jewish property with a swastika, arguing they've reclaimed it, like the word "queer," and are now using it as "a condemnation of genocide."

But Trump said "P*ssy."

Why It Matters: We have more details on the Secret Service agent who TLC's Snapped! and attacked a Senior Agent in Charge.

DEI concerns, indeed.

Now, the identity of the officer has been revealed, along with more details surrounding the strange situation. Michelle Herczeg was removed from her duties with the Secret Service on Wednesday. She was a former police officer with the Dallas Police Department and an Air Force veteran.

On Monday morning, Herczeg arrived at the base and began deleting apps from a male agent's personal cell phone before becoming increasingly agitated. She then engaged in erratic behavior, such as mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains, and throwing menstrual pads and other items at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent. Herczeg continued making alarming statements, such as the other agents were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God."


Herczeg was heard screaming at the special agent in charge (SAIC), listing the names of female officers on the vice president's detail and asserting that they would support her and enable her to continue working. When the SAIC attempted to relieve her of duty, as a witness told Real Clear Politics, "that's when she snapped entirely."

Herczeg allegedly became physically aggressive, chest-bumping, shoving, tackling, and punching the SAIC. This prompted intervention from other agents present, with a heightened alarm as Herczeg was armed, although her gun remained holstered. Agents wrestled her to the ground, disarmed her, cuffed her, and then escorted her out of the terminal.

In prior coverage, RedState noted that the agent had previously been a subject of distress by staff and that the hiring process, including allegedly "DEI" practices, raised concerns among officers in the Secret Service, per reporting from Real Clear Politics.

She was a madwoman from Jump Street, and never should have been hired for any job in which firearms handling is a requirement:

In her 2016 lawsuit, Herczeg charged she was retaliated against for reporting sexual harassment and other wrongdoing by Dallas cops.

After Herczeg was allegedly assaulted by a male superior officer in May 2015, she claimed, "[i]ntimidation tactics were used as investigative tools to persuade Herczeg from seeking criminal relief against the officer who assaulted her," according to the Morning News.

The lawsuit also alleged that Herczeg was not allowed to return to a special crime reduction team after reporting the alleged assault and was also refused overtime patrol shifts, causing "stress and mental anguish from loss in payment compensation."

Herczeg further charged that DPD "tolerates unprofessional behavior such as fraternization and unprofessional male and female working relationships based on an atmosphere which finds the male officer in charge, regardless of rank or ability."

A Texas court dismissed Herczeg's suit and a court of appeals denied both her appeal in 2021 and a request for a rehearing the following year.


It sure seems like she's just a nutter and Drama Tornado anywhere she goes. And it sure looks like DEI practices were used to move her through the application process for a job involving guns and the protection of very high-ranking VIPs.

DEI requires you to hire the Mentally Diverse.

Who's Zooming Who: A good old-fashioned Drag Queen Story Hour has been perverted from its wholesome mission of indoctrinating kids into becoming gay and trans into a Palestinian propaganda struggle session!

Is nothing sacred?!

In a bizarre moment, a drag queen performing at a Massachusetts art center directed children in a pro-Palestinian chant.

Video footage shows the exchange during a "Queer Storytime for Palestine" event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group at the Northampton Center for the Arts on April 14.


While reading her book "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It," Lil Miss Hot Mess told the children: "If you're a drag queen and you know it shout 'Free Palestine.'"

The event included "dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes and doing arts and crafts," according to an Instagram post by the Valley Families for Palestine group. Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization "working for queer liberation."

Every parent there needs an exhaustive Child Protective Services investigation.

A Little Lead for Your Pencils:

Not All Heroes Wear Capes: Wherever there is injustice, wherever tyrants menace -- there is only one group of heroes you can call upon to fight for you.

"Call the Philosophy Department!" -- a new rallying cry for our age.

Frankfurt School. Obviously.

She's a credit to her race. The philosophy race.

45 31 More gyno-musings from the Emory Chair of Philosophy: "The 54-year-old woman presented as burrowed into some unhappiness while having achieved a good deal of professional success. The mother of two and the husband of one, she was the main source of financial support. They lived in a slightly decrepit midcentury modern house near the university where she worked. Years into her analysis she would say, repeatedly, that she loved her backyard more than she hated her husband. So, ergo, she could tolerate an unhappy marriage. This was a marriage where she continuously subordinated her own desires and instincts to those of her husband’s, who didn’t seem the least bit inclined to offer any love or support. Mostly he was a mean and selfish son of a bitch. The woman was always doubting herself, having a hard time seeing reality for all her attention to how things must really be according to some other people’s, any other people’s, perceptions. ..."

The president averaged 38.7 percent job approval in his 13th quarter in office, which ran from Jan. 20 to April 19, according to averages aggregated by Gallup.
In the same quarter, former President Trump had a 46.8 percent approval rating average; former President Obama’s was 45.9 percent and former President George W. Bush’s was 51 percent, according to Gallup.
The second-lowest to Biden’s in that time was former President George H.W. Bush, who had a 41.8 percent mark.

"It's reproductive justice. It's social justice. It's climate crisis... It's not just one issue; it's all the issues in one."

There's a lot to this, and any number of reasons for the disparity between crazy men and crazy women. Not least of which is how many people (especially if she's cute) will excuse the behavior of the female, when they would not do so for the man.

Furthermore, since much of what we call insanity IS caused by childhood experiences, the disparity is in part due to the type of childhood abuse/neglect that is perpetrated on said child. And even how the abused interprets and copes with the abuse.

In other words, significantly more female children are sexually abused, and significantly more male are beaten. Obviously many are both, but this is a big part of it.

Types of neglect are more nuanced, and I don't really have a firm grasp on it, but I'm sure that's as much a factor as the abuse.

"Prosecutors in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case said in court filings that a former Trump administration official told investigators that Trump, as president, had "no standing declassification order" regarding documents in his possession."

Who cares? This isn't:

A. Admissible in a US court, like anywhere
B. Actual factual evidence of anything at all
C. Complete stupidity to suggest its relevant to this case, even if not admissible or evidence of any thing

But ABC is probably the dumbest of all US news services, so you'd expect this type of thought process in an article from these idiots...

In reality, I'm betting it just involves a second train. It is always the second train. People see a train coming and they step off the track on the adjacent one. Then it hits them.

No one hears the second train since they are looking at the first and think it is making all the noise.
I wish these news stories would say "Teens hit by second train" to make others understand that sometimes the track you step onto has a train coming too.

Half of Population Condemns Man Who Stood By Idly While a Woman Was Attacked; The Other Half Asks, What Did You Expect?

A thug physically accosted a woman, who struggled to free himself from the grasp of her attacker.

She gave a pleading look to a male seated about twenty feet away -- "Please help." The male did nothing. He barely moved.

So the question is: Was he a coward?

Or was he acting correctly and congruently with the incentive system society has created?

Maybe both, maybe both.

Don't forget:

danielpenny.jpg

Daniel Penny came to the aid of others.

He's now going to trial in October. For murder.

Matt Walsh makes the point that society can either 1, expect and demand that young men risk their lives to protect those who are weaker, but only if society rewards such actions, or 2, society can punish men for coming to others' defense, but in that case they must accept that young men are bowing out of the "Hero Trap."

If men rush to aid other people, they are taking a serious chance they will be killed. Now, that's one risk they might be willing to assume, if they will be afforded honor and respect for having done so.

But if they're going to be prosecuted and imprisoned for looking out for other people, then the weaker in society should start taking martial arts classes and buy guns.


Here's how the media is treating Kyle Rittenhouse:

Kyle Rittenhouse, deadly shooter, college speaker? A campus gun-rights tour sparks outrage

...


"He has used every moment to gloat and to make light of taking life," Paul Prediger said, speaking publicly for the first time about what happened in protest of a Rittenhouse speech last week at Kent State. "As if that were not enough, Kyle has embraced and been embraced by those who peddle hateful rhetoric, who believe in nationalism that excludes those who do not look like or think like them, and who have sought to amplify a troubling desire for violence against supposed political, cultural, and religious enemies."

The provocative choice of backing the Rittenhouse tour is par for the course for Turning Point and its local affiliates, which have hosted controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier. But it has stirred up devastating pain and disdain in a man he almost killed.

"He has used every moment to gloat and to make light of taking life," Paul Prediger said, speaking publicly for the first time about what happened in protest of a Rittenhouse speech last week at Kent State. "As if that were not enough, Kyle has embraced and been embraced by those who peddle hateful rhetoric, who believe in nationalism that excludes those who do not look like or think like them, and who have sought to amplify a troubling desire for violence against supposed political, cultural, and religious enemies."

USA Today is really taking its time telling you who "Paul Prediger" is.

That's the new name that Gauge Grosskreutz is going under.

The man who pointed a gun at Kyle Rittenhouse's head intending to shoot him.

I don't notice USA Today finding any "outrage" in Gaige Grosskreutz.

Many paragraphs later, USAToday finally tells you that the man who they're quoting as an authority, "Paul Prediger," is actually Gaige Grosskreutz. Who obviously has a huge bias against Rittenhouse -- and that bias should mean that USAToday shouldn't be quoting him at all on this matter, nevermind letting him rant through most of the article before finally, after people have stopped reading, confessing that the authoritive source for this story once tried to murder Kyle Rittenhouse, and got his arm blown off for that attempted murder.

After Prediger -- formerly known as Gaige Grosskreutz -- criticized his speaking tour, Rittenhouse posted a video clip on X, formerly Twitter. It showed Prediger admitting he pointed a gun in Rittenhouse's direction before being shot. Rittenhouse did not include text in the post.

On the way home, the dog escaped her truck and attacked a local family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another,” Noem wrote.

When Noem tried to grab the dog, she wrote that it whipped around to bite her. Noem said she wrote the family a check for their chickens and helped them dispose of the carcasses “littering the scene of the crime.”

“I hated that dog,” she wrote, adding that Cricket was untrainable, dangerous and worthless as a hunting dog.

“At that moment,” Noem wrote, “I realized I had to put her down.”

17 It's actually 2 things that cause this breakdown...

1. Men are no longer celebrated, but are vilified and imprisoned, for coming to the aid of a victim being attacked by another man.

2. Men no longer believe in an afterlife, where selfless action on Earth might be valued after Earth...aka, religion and faith are dead.

It takes both of these things to be lost for the above actions to happen. And in current society, it is easy to see that both have happened in large swaths of the public.

++++
I'm on "team correct and congruent." This is for two reasons. First, as you immediately point out, intervening as a "good Samaritan" is a straightforward and direct way to destroy your own life and probably not even accomplish your goal. Why should a person expose himself to imminent physical danger by engaging in a high-risk activity for which he will be mercilessly punished? When good Samaritans are ruthlessly pursued by the state, don't expect to find many good Samaritans.

Second, women are equal. No, scratch that, women are better then men in every way. Stronger. Smarter. More capable. Fiercely independent. Every single message in every single media product, everything in everything classroom lesson, every piece of legislation - everything at all levels - underscores, reinforces and drives home that position. Why should someone intervene to help out a superior creature? The superior creature can take care of itself.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 26, 2024 04:29 PM (HnUIn)

20 Chivalry conferred rights and obligations on both sexes. So did ordinary sex norms until recently. Now women want all the rights while disavowing as many obligations as possible. They're equals now. That's how they say they want it, even ostensibly conservative women. Part of being an equal is fending for yourself, and not calling for muscle every time a jar of pickles needs opening.

At this point im not risking my life or my freedom for someone else's property, especially when the odds are high the person being robbed will then turn and call me racist for helping them.

There's a difference if someone is being legitimately assaulted, but this wasn't the case here, as if she let her bag go the guy would have fled with it.

There's probably 6 people in the world id currently use deadly force to save, and any victims of crimes i see can thank liberals for that, because living in nyc as a white male, I won't get any leniency even if I was stopping someone from stabbing a child.

The eccentric billionaire has been publicly feuding Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant for the past week over what he has characterised as an “attempt to censor the entire world”.

“The Australian people want the truth,” Musk wrote on Tuesday, sharing a post stating that X had become the most downloaded news app in Australia. “X is the only one standing up for their rights.”

71 I think this all started back when the schools started punishing everyone involved in a fight whether they instigated it or not.

It made it easy for school administrators, but it taught people that self-defense is not justified, and that initiating violence is no worse than defending against it. Everyone should be victims. The state of course likes that because they like compliant subjects. But it creates hell for the subjects themselves.

They start teaching men to be women at an early age and then wonder why there are no men. This is the price of letting women run the schools.

Going into that confrontation you'd have to anticipate being attacked, and prepared accordingly. You gotta have the attitude (and be prepared to follow through) that we can talk or we can fight, and the decision is yours but your not gonna like the way it ends if you choose poorly.

Like many cases it will come down to the jury. Even in NYC ive hard many people, even people you may not expect, say Perry was right and not a criminal, and at a rate of 3 or 4 to 1. But if the DA just makes sure to load the jury with AWFLs and angry black people, he'll go to jail; if the defense can get anyone else on there we'll have a mistrial.

If black people actually show up to vote, there's less room for inner city machines to operate when it comes to manufacturing votes.

Except, I seriously don't see the left feeling like there are any limits on what they can do anymore to ensure victory at the ballot box.

Still, they'd rather win genuinely. If they have to win by cheating, they'll do it that way.

186 The media/social media went after a cop with hammer and tongs for shooting a black girl who was trying to stab another black girl.

The FNM started claiming knife fights were just a normal part of childhood as they tarred the cop as rayciss. One outlet used Westside story as "evidence".

And of course shortly thereafter there was another similar case where the cop did nothing and the FNM raked him through the coals as a raycisst for not shooting the black knife wielder "in the arm" of course before he stabbed another black person.

Therefore that priest doesn't understand what im assuming is the catholic religion, and the idea that you can be forgiven for your transgressions. If he's telling people they're going to hell for not martyring themselves to help out a random person, then odds are he's just a grifter posing as a priest anyway (I grew up with family in the church, and saw first hand that many priests and nuns are just assholes who couldn't commit to a real job and honestly were the least religious people you'd ever meet, who just wanted a position of power)

Any Catholic may be forgiven, but it isn't automatic. You have to ask, you have to mean it, and you have to complete penance. That's why Judas went to hell. He regretted it, but he did not ask for forgiveness, because he thought his sin was too great to be forgiven. Twisted pride in action. Lack of faith. The priest is not wrong, no matter your experience with the human foibles of other priests and religious.

"Lived" and "worked" the D at the end of the words are the important parts there. The black community and teens of today are not the black community on 30 years ago. There were consequences back then, and even within their communities there were rules about what you'd do, and consequences you'd face from your peers.

It's not the same now. Kids know they can do what they want without any consequences. They are more radicalized by what they see online and more envious of others.

The Media Keeps Claiming Crime Rates Are Falling.
They Lying, As Usual.

John Lott writes that the media and blue cities and the FBI are massaging stats in favor of The Regime.

Americans think crime is on the rise, but the media keep telling them they're wrong. A Gallup survey last year found that 92% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats thought crime was increasing. A February Rasmussen Reports survey found that 61% of likely voters say violent crime in the U.S. is getting worse, while only 13% think it's getting better. Journalists purport to refute this by citing official crime statistics showing a downward trend.

Americans aren't mistaken. News reports fail to take into account that many victims aren't reporting crimes to the police, especially since the pandemic.

The U.S. has two measures of crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting program counts the number of crimes reported to police every year. The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in its National Crime Victimization Survey, asks some 240,000 people a year whether they have been victims of a crime. The two measures have diverged since 2020: The FBI has been reporting less crime, while more people say they have been victims.

The divergence is due to several reasons. In 2022, 31% of police departments nationwide, including Los Angeles and New York, didn't report crime data to the FBI. In addition, in cities from Baltimore to Nashville, Tenn., the FBI is undercounting crimes those jurisdictions reported.

Another reason crimes reported to the police are falling is that arrest rates are plummeting. If victims don't believe criminals will be caught and punished, they won't bother reporting them. According to the FBI, if you take the five years preceding Covid-19 (2015-19) and compare them with 2022, the percentage of violent crimes in all cities resulting in an arrest fell from 44% to 35%. Among cities with more than one million people (where violent crime disproportionately occurs), arrest rates over the same period plunged from 44% to 20%.

Arrests for property crimes dived even more sharply. FBI data show that in 2022, 12% of reported property crimes in all cities resulted in an arrest. In cities of more than one million people, only 4.5% of reported property crimes in 2022 resulted in an arrest.

Based on the National Crime Victimization Survey, only 42% of violent crimes, such as robberies or aggravated assaults, and 32% of property crimes, such as burglary or arson, were reported in 2022. While the Justice Department doesn't track the number of prosecutions, the percentage of arrests that resulted in a prosecution appears to have fallen that year as well.

The FBI decided to scrap its old system of collecting crime data at the exact same time the Democrats were enacting their disastrous "decarceration" schemes. This was guaranteed to produce a discontinuity in the data, since pre-2021 stats are recorded and categorized differently than post-2021 stats. Even if they were actually recording all crimes, Democrats would point to the inconsistency in data treatment to explain away any increases in crime.


Here's what's going on in the real world:


Fifty women have been randomly attacked by strangers so far this year in the lower half of Manhattan, an NYPD official said.

"The trend that I'm getting from the people that we're arresting, the majority of them are homeless, the majority of them seem like they need some kind of help with mental illness," Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at One Police Plaza Tuesday.

Most of the attacks don't appear to be copycats and cops don't consider them a trend, Kenny said.

But some of them have become high profile because of victims posting on social media, he said.

"This is no new phenomenon," Kenny said. "It's just being reported at a higher rate and getting a lot more publicity than it normally does because of social media . . . we welcome that. We want to encourage reporting so that we can make these arrests."

Out of the 50 female victims, 37 were attacked in the street and 13 in the transit system, he said.

Some were punched and others were struck with objects.

Arrests have been made in 14 of the attacks, he said.

All of the assailants appear to be black, homeless, and mentally ill. The exact sort of people the left was determined to release from jail and bail requirements in the name of "equity."

The left has an answer to this, of course. The problem isn't "decarceration" programs aimed at releasing dangerous repeat felons from jail.

The Real Criminals attacking women are MAGA dudebros being indoctrinated on anti-feminist 4chan boards.

Angry maniac femcel Amanda Marcotte:

Women report being assaulted by men of different races and ages. Still, across the different stories, a couple of similarities pop out: The alleged victims are mostly young and pretty, and most of them say they were minding their own business when they were attacked. Some were on their phones or reading on tablets. Others were speaking to friends or daydreaming. Whatever they were doing, they were just living their lives, and that, it seems, is what enraged their assailants.


The alleged victims are mostly young and pretty, and most of them say they were minding their own business when they were attacked.

Are there any points-in-common among the assailants, Amanda? I'm thinking about racial and Housing Status traits that might make your "this is all MAGA hatred of women" thesis less plausible.


Whatever the scale of this problem eventually turns out to be, it's not surprising that these stories have gone viral and captured the public's imagination.

1, the problem is decarceration, and that's obvious, which is why you're handwaving away the importance of the cause.

2, as usual, committed gnostic Marxists insist that crime isn't real, not really real anyway, and the only real crisis here is one occurring in "the public imagination."


While it rarely turns to violence, most women who spend much time walking around in public have experience with men who berate them for paying attention to something other than the man who is now, often out of nowhere, spewing invectives. In our modern era, that often manifests with men who are infuriated at women for looking at their phones. But I'm old enough to remember when I would get yelled at for reading books in public.

I grew up in a town where it was illegal to dance. True story, my word as a Kevin Bacon.


Whatever the excuse the angry man concocts, the impetus is always the same: The eyes of a woman are directed at someone or something that is not him, and he is indignant over it. So he will make sure she has no choice but to look at him, either by getting in her face or -- in these alarming New York cases -- punching her. If he cannot capture her adoring gaze, well, he will make her stare at him in fear.

So, nothing about the fact that these are obviously mentally-ill homeless men who are being mass-released from prison by your Marxist allies?

She's claiming this phenomenon is just due to the usual fascination of trivial "feminists" -- fucking Internet Drama. MAGA men are ruining my mentions on Twitter! Ugh! Something must be done!

These stories resonate, as well, because the nation is having a moment of increasingly unhinged male fury at women for daring to have lives that are centered around something other than catering to a man's every whim. Unleashed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, there's an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner.

The black homeless mentally-ill men playing the knockout game are all MAGA diehards, huh?

Now she's going to flashback to Internet Drama from fucking 2015:


We see it in the male fans of Jordan Peterson, who clamor to his events to hear him croak out a just-so story about how lobsters justify their faith in male dominance. Or the rise of "tradwives" online who make a living pretending they're unemployed and housebound.

Can she draw a line between black homeless mental patients playing the knockout game with women, and more Trivial Internet Drama about men not liking the feminist propaganda trifle Barbie?

Let's see:

Or Ben Shapiro setting fire to a Barbie doll because he can't stand that a blockbuster comedy starring a woman is about anything but her quest for male affection.

Let's connect it up with abortion -- really explore the studio space.

Or MAGA pundits telling lies about birth control, in hopes of tricking women into having babies before they're ready. Or conservatives writing op-eds that blame women for male loneliness, telling women they must self-sacrifice to relieve male pain by marrying Donald Trump voters. Or right-wing men yelling because Taylor Swift has cats or because she dates a hunky, vaccinated NFL player instead of, I dunno, having babies with a guy in ill-fitting cargo shorts.

I have to tell you, feminists tend to be among the ugliest, most out-of-shape, least alluring women on the fucking planet, but they're always complaining of the aggressive persistence of devoted and implacable Gentlemen Suiters vying for their (cold, asexual, femcel) affections.

These poor dishrag-dingy drulls are absolutely irresistible to men! They're just absolutely beset by unwanted male attention, 24/7/365!

This insane spin is of course being parrotted by all the lower-IQ FemPCs.

This is yet another example of the left pretending that all of society's ills are due to White Christian Straight Men. They can't castigate the black homeless men actually sucker-punching women because they're higher on the progressive stack, but they still have to Defend Wimmins and talk about the attacks, so they just pretend that MAGA is primarily a movement of the black, homeless, and mentally-ill.

This is like that stunt video of a woman walking down the street and being cat-called. Every man seen cat-calling her was black and Hispanic, but feminists pretended not to notice that and scolded White Incels about it for a year.

Or more recently, and more directly on-point: We watched the videos of mostly black (and some Hispanic) men sucker-punching Jews on the streets of New York, which Jake Tapper and other propagandists turned into a ritual denunciation of white MAGA voters and their antisemitism.

Semi-related: An obvious MAGA incel tells Columbia Administrators, at a disciplinary hearing, that they should excuse his crimes and just be grateful that he's "not murdering zionists."

Yup. Not to mention that reporting is probably down.

If I know that there is *zero* point to reporting a crime - the cops probably won't come and talk to me or investigate, if the cops *do* come, they probably won't make an arrest, if they do make an arrest, the DA probably won't charge, if the DA charges, the perp is going to walk away with a sweetheart deal - then I am not going to report it unless I have to for insurance reasons.

It's not that the crime didn't happen, it's just that there's no entry for it at the PD. What's the point? This is one of the reasons that, even pre-2021, crime rate stats for neighborhoods are so funky. Peaceful suburbs often show more property crime than the ghetto. Why? Suburbanites report.

17 Has anyone considered that crime stats--i.e., crimes being *reported*--may be going down simply because people realize now that there's no point to it.

They cannot get justice because their assailant will NOT be incarcerated and will most likely be released back onto the streets at the first opportunity. So the victims don't even bother.

How many crimes are NOT being reported and therefore do not factor into the crime statistics?

Eventually, we may see the crime stats tick upwards as people start taking the law into their own hands....and are punished for it by the very law that is supposed to protect them.

Chivalrous rhetoric is being dusted off once again to abuse some of the most vulnerable people in our society: young trans people, especially those who are still minors. Across the country, the New York Times reports, "Republicans are diving into a culture war clash that seems to have come out of nowhere," which is the growing hysteria over trans people competing in sports.

If you're not reporting crime anyway, just put a gun in his hand. If cops are told not to report, they'll find ways...you expect cops to stay pure in a system that tells them to purposely look the other way?

72 There's only one way to measure crime that cannot be gamed: murder rates.

76 While it rarely turns to violence, most women who spend much time walking around in public have experience with men who berate them for paying attention to something other than the man who is now, often out of nowhere, spewing invectives. In our modern era, that often manifests with men who are infuriated at women for looking at their phones. But I'm old enough to remember when I would get yelled at for reading books in public.

131 LOBSTERS Analogy:
Jordan Peterson is often associated with lobsters. What is the deal? What do lobsters have to do with 12 Rules for Life?

In summary, it has to do with science experiments with lobsters and social status. Lobsters jockey for social hierarchy, and they signal that to other lobsters. And this is relevant to you, because humans behave the same way. Learn more here.

Overview of Lobsters and Jordan Peterson
Jordan Peterson first mentions lobsters (specifically, crawfish) in Rule 1 of 12 Rules for Life: “Stand up Straight With Your Shoulders Back.”

This chapter discusses social status from a biological point of view, and how your body language affects how others perceive you and how you feel about yourself.

Criminal activity has an interesting complex relationship with iq. The inability to delay gratification nor see consequences for one's actions appears to be genetic based more than nurture. Iq at the low end is a bit of both genetic and nurture based. Plus substance abuse by mothers along with poor parenting skills caused by continuing substance abuse, sexual abuse, and various other nasty things can make one much less empathetic to other people even apart from genetics.

The combination of short time preferences, inability to understand consequences, and socio/psychopathy leads to violent street thugs that are essentially nonredeemable without God's grace.

Peterson talks about the similarities between lobsters and humans in some very basic elements of behavior to point out how unrealistic it is to claim that theses behaviors in humans are merely cultural artifacts and have no basis in biology, as the evolutionary divergence predates mammals, much less hominins.

Have you listened to Peterson's lectures on Genesis? He is very interesting, though I admit I consider him wrong in a couple of major points, he has some very compelling things to say about the first book of the Bible.

Video was hilarious in how comically inept the mayor's security detail was. Took rando bystanders to save the day. That blonde twit was a caricature of a clueless idiot.

But I think there's more to this story. The attacker didn't look like the usually disheveled homeless lunatic attacking people because of voices in his head. He seemed relatively "clean" and seemed to know at least some boxing. I'd be curious to know what started this fight. It looked almost personal.

178 U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris hosted reality-television star Kim Kardashian at the White House on Thursday to discuss criminal justice reform...The United States imprisons more people than any other country. Some one in five of those 1.9 million people are behind bars for a drug-related offense.

the Taylor swift fans hate kim k and are feuding openly so I see this as a huge mistake

Kim k and her nutty x husband are Republicans, and have made draining young black voters from the Democratic Party their mission. By inviting her to the White House they are slapping the swift fans in the face, when Taylor actually endorsed joe last election and we all thought she would again? How “out of touch “ can the wh be?

It really does say something about our current society when the Vice President, wanting to meet with the leading justice reform advocate in America, has to call on Kim Kardashian.

Who is Kamala pandering to? I think are many others who are more qualified than Kim, but I wonder who Kamala could be pandering to? Hollywood?

208 George Soros Paying Student Agitators To Whip Up Anti-Israel Protests

Anyone walking around anywhere with their face buried in a cellphone is at risk. Situational awareness is compulsory.

The president averaged 38.7 percent job approval in his 13th quarter in office, which ran from Jan. 20 to April 19, according to averages aggregated by Gallup.
In the same quarter, former President Trump had a 46.8 percent approval rating average; former President Obama’s was 45.9 percent and former President George W. Bush’s was 51 percent, according to Gallup.
The second-lowest to Biden’s in that time was former President George H.W. Bush, who had a 41.8 percent mark.

Self-Proclaimed "Mary Poppins of Disinformation" and "Disinformation Czar" Nina "Stanky Janky" Jankowicz, Has a New Grifter Operation She'd Like the CIA to Donate To

Former Biden "Disinformation Czar" Stanky Janky has begun a new anti-"disinformation" grift.

Do you smell that? That's the smell of just-laundered CIA and State Department money.


Former Biden administration disinformation head Nina Jankowicz has launched a new organization to fight against conservative efforts to combat online censorship.

Jankowicz launched the American Sunlight Project this week to fight what she believes to be a campaign by conservatives to undermine the anti-disinformation industry. She co-founded the organization alongside Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos, a communications specialist who worked for left-wing group Protect Democracy during the 2020 election cycle.

The American Sunlight Project wrote a letter on Monday to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio.), Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.), and Representative Dan Bishop (R., N.C.) accusing them of "McCarthyism" for investigating the disinformation industry and its pressure on social media platforms to censor speech.

"The Weaponization Committee has selectively released congressional testimony to discredit them, make them targets of harassment, and create a chilling effect across the field of disinformation research. These tactics echo the dark days of McCarthyism, but with a 21st century twist," the letter reads.

Indeed! The group's main mission seems to be to stop the "disinformation" of people criticizing the "disinformation" industry.

She is fighting for her right -- to fight disinformation!

Luke Rosiak:

'Mary Poppins Of Disinformation' Returns With New Group To Defend Disinformation Industry

Nina Jankowicz says criticism of 'disinformation researchers' poses 'greatest threat' to country

The Biden administration's former "disinformation czar," ousted after an apparent attempt to create an Orwellian ministry of truth within the Department of Defense, has launched a new nonprofit that declares criticism of "disinformation researchers" such as herself as a chief threat to the United States of America.

"The campaign against counter-disinformation work is the greatest threat to freedom of expression and academic integrity since the McCarthy era," Nina Jankowicz said in a press release, pledging that her group would not "allow it to continue."

"Once researchers are free to conduct their essential work, the American people will gain a better understanding of the nature and severity of the disinformation threats we face," she said. "Disinformation knows no political party. Its ultimate victim is our democracy."

The group, the American Sunlight Project, was announced as a bipartisan advocacy organization founded by Jankowicz that was "launched to expose and oppose efforts to weaponize disinformation in the United States."

"The organization will investigate the networks and money driving disinformation and educate the public about the threats disinformation poses to their daily lives," it says. "The first step in the group's program will involve countering the organized campaign currently challenging the work of disinformation researchers."

She must not clean the catbox very often then. That would make her into a prime case of crazy catlady syndrome via parasites.

But then again, some people are just sociopathic and evil and due to Ukie land's dysfuction for at least a century, it seems a lot of them are sociopaths like Lt. Col Bearclaw and his sibling.

Our problem is that the US oligarchs like using foreign sociopaths like Merchan, Darkeh, and this bint to oppress us domestically.

186 Since the nineties, governments have been losing the war of information. Back then, there were only a handful of easily controlled sources of news. With the explosion of alternative sources of information, governments have had to drastically scale up their ability to coerce these information sources to obey. Huge financial resources have been allocated to track and record all data used by the people, so that governments can try and control this information. Governments happily break the law to spy on their own people, or use friendly governments to do so in order to skirt the laws.

If there was an existing technology to read peoples' minds, the government would spend every last penny to get it, use it, and arrest those they felt were committing wrongspeak.

300 Hey, all,

Been doing some actual work-work, but when I went out the car during lunch, I found that some lint-head students have blocked the westbound avenue in front of the college next to where I work and were chanting (many with masks on!?) the "Free Palestine" garbage.

I asked one of the cops standing and watching all this, "Has any group ever changed anyone else's mind about an issue by blocking traffic and pissing people off?" He grinned and said, "Nope."

I told him, "My suggestion is two words. Tear gas." He shrugged.

Unless the clowns move to the other side of the avenue, it shouldn't affect my commute home. Except drivers will slow down to look. Maybe I'd better take another route.

Axios Poll: Majority of Americans Open to Trump's "Harshest" Immigration Policy, "Mass Deportations;" 42% of Democrats Support This, and 45% of Latinos

Why It Matters: Because Axios is stupid and gay, so if even their poll is finding this, it means something.

David Strom:


Axios commissioned a Harris poll and discovered something unsurprising, even if the establishment was shocked.

Americans support mass deportations of illegal aliens. I suspect they would support mass deportations of some legal aliens who express anti-American views as well, come to think of it.

EXCLUSIVE POLL: Americans are open to Trump's harshest immigration plans.

Half -- including 42% of Democrats -- say they'd support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, per a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll. https://t.co/fXPKxpGlQj pic.twitter.com/UIWn2SRKn7

-- Axios (@axios) April 25, 2024


"I was surprised at the public support for large-scale deportations," said Mark Penn, chairman of The Harris Poll and a former pollster for President Clinton.

I'm not at all. This is what is called a backlash, dude.

Axios adds:

Americans are open to former President Trump's harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans.

* President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens his re-election. He's sought to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging Congress' most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades.
* But when it comes to blame, Biden so far has failed to shift the narrative: 32% of respondents say his administration is "most responsible" for the crisis, outranking any other political or structural factor.

Axios Vibe Check: Amid a record number of border crossings, nearly two-thirds of Americans said illegal immigration is a real crisis, not a politically driven media narrative.

"Axios Vibe Check?" God Almighty, get your gaytarded shit under control, Axios.

I'm going to do an Ace Vibe Check.

A Glance Askance: A CNN poll finds that only 13% (THIRTEEN PERCENT) of voters think that Trump is being treated similarly to other defendants.

A certain number of those are braindead NPC zombies and Stinkies who claim that Trump is being treated better than other defendants. But most are saying Trump is being treated savagely.

Here's another swing state poll, from Hispanic-heavy Nevada:


Unrelated: Howard Stern badgered Biden (yes, Biden has refused to give an interview to the NYT for his entire presidency, but is now sitting down to be "grilled" by Noted Journalist Howard Stern) about whether he'd debate Trump.

Biden gave a very vague and very tentative "maybe" answer.

When Mr. Stern asked Mr. Biden if he would debate Mr. Trump, the president replied: "I am, somewhere, I don't know when, but I am happy to debate him."

This is not a real agreement to debate. He's just saying this because he knows how weak, pathetic, and senile he'll sound if he rules it out. So he'll keep on offering this "maybe, somewhere, I don't know when, if we can work it out" style answer when the media asks him about it, which they will not ask him about, because they know this hurts Biden and they do not want him to debate Trump. Our "journalists" are now all-in on deplatforming, and they know Biden is so senile and frail he wouldn't survive a debate politically -- and maybe not physically, either.

Biden does not call the shots in "his" own White House. Decisions like this are above Biden's pay grade. Pay no attention to the stupid, senile words that dribble out of his mouth.

10 These only reason id question the "42% of Dems" is that a large number of Democrats are probably claiming to be Republicans to try and skew polls so they can say "look even Republicans don't like Trump policies."

If that is thr case though, the Latino portion looks better for Trump in 2024, as it means for Hispanics are considering themselves Republicans or independents, and not being tricked in to begging part of the Democrat party.

75 Biden’s border-deal double-down would make for good politics and good policy. Biden is smart to keep the border-security pressure on. The White House saw the possibility for political synergy here: Such a package would show Americans Biden was serious about the border while sweetening the pot for Republicans to get right on Ukraine.

Congressional Republicans, egged on by Donald Trump, turned up their nose at the package’s border provisions. They couldn’t admit that they rejected it because they were ordered to do so. Instead they kvetched the bill would not bring the number of border crossings magically down to zero. Any bill that fell short of that ideal, Speaker Johnson scoffed at the time, “would be surrender.”

Republicans could pooh-pooh any border deal as simply not being strict enough to outweigh their opposition to other parts of the package—more aid to Ukraine...now Ukraine’s out of it. Biden has called for border-security legislation on its own. What excuses will Republicans concoct this time for spurning the offer?

If Biden’s serious about trying again on the border before the election, it’s time to give his new buddy Mike Johnson another call.

That ended last week PHV. Trends are going the other way now and part of that vaunted idiocy was a poll by a little known company that massages the data to come up with Biden's a winner.

The consistent lying, the legal martyrdom of Trump, and Biden visibly falling apart in public have a toll on his numbers and that is not easily reversible. Basically, we are looking behind the curtain at the Wizard class desperately pulling every lever and yelling at the plebes to ignore the men behind the curtain.

The Dems obviously have fall back plans so we will just have to wait and see what they are. The very late convention date gives rise to the suspicion that the Dems want to retain the ability to do a Torricelli switch if they can get away with it. Their problem is that the dislike for leftism and Democrats is metastasizing in the general public as seen by the Axiom commissioned poll above.

Even the sob story compassion shit that the media likes to fling is not working for them anymore. Lying over time consistently does that.

It could be because Biden ain't running the junta that those polls may be honest right now in order to get him to step down. There is another attempt to reboot Kamala to make her more popular underway and that is not because VP has any real effect on the general election. Gavin and Mook were floated but both of them did not electrify the country either and they would still have to deal with an unwilling Kamala to accept not advancing to the top job.

Nonsense. They are now rapidly approaching the point where Biden will need to be the candidate. Irrespective The Democrats agenda doesn't change no matter who the candidate is. "Democrat" polls about as good as "Biden" does. They have to double down. So building up Kamala is part of addressing the successor issue voters are concerned about. Proof? Democrats moved forward with the NY kangaroo prosecution of Trump hoping it will take him out of the race. They've also doubled down on voter fraud ops, with Arizona being the latest gambit. They are not trying to win the field. They are focusing on a few states electoral votes where they know they can subvert the election process. There will be mass r fraud by Democrats especially with mail in ballots that will at a minimum cause significant chaos and confusion.

When you start screwing around with 'correcting' the date using advanced statistical methods like two stage least square regression on a simple problem like polling, it indicates that plain simple polling was not giving the results wanted for narrative reasons.

Advanced stats are never the process to fix 'bad data' problems--all it does is usually hide the problem beneath a veneer of magic to those who cannot do the math nor research design.

At no time my entire political memory do candidate debates - even lower-level ones - resemble debates.

A debate - a real one - presents all debaters with the same question, gives them a fixed amount of time to respond, and allows (or doesn't) for rebuttals. Then the issue is closed and the debate moves on to the next question. This is is *not* how candidate "debates" work.

When a moderator asks the candidates two different questions, what's the point? Even if it somehow isn't the norm where the Party-favored candidate gets a softball and the Party-disfavored candidate gets a lead pipe, it's still dishonest and useless. The "debates" are just a means for the press to beat up on the Party-disfavored candidate(s) and for the candidates to recite parts of their stump speeches.

Feh.

249 There's no question this race is winnable for Trump, but I'm just very dismissive of Rasmussen. It's "our" version of a stacked poll to make our side feel good.

Its still pretty sickening that we're excited at Trump just being within the margin of error, even with a Republican leaning pollster.

1) Trump is doing a brilliant job of campaigning nationally even though he's stuck in NYC. His last three events? A) attending the funeral of a slain cop while Biden was having a high dollar fundraiser next door; B) the "bodega visit" to the poor bastard who owns the joint & who got charged with murder (by Alvin Bragg!) for defending himself; C) the dawn visit with NYC construction workers. That's some brilliant, imaginative scheduling!

2) Trump should consider naming his VP NOW. To allow him/her to go to the venues where Trump can't appear. No-one ever pays attention to political conventions, except to see the newly-named VP choice.

So, if we had nominated someone that Brad Raffensperger approved of, it wouldn't have happened?

Also, Katie Hobbs was told that her policy of effectively turning off signature verification when she was SoS while campaigning to be governor was a very naughty thing indeed. I bet that happened because Cindy McCain didn't approve of Trump.

We just need a Republican candidate that both Brad Raffensperger and Cindy McCain like, then we'll be gold.

Ratshitburger has direct ties to China both in his prior state leg race and his brother being a bigwig with Huawei. He is bought and sold by the PRC. Kemp is more complex but he might have cheated himself into office in 2018 as SoS and those election records were conveniently wiped from SoS controlled servers before Stacey Abrams could get ahold of them.

Then there is that Kemp's chief SoS aide went to work for Dominion and Kemp conveniently used the Abrams election litigation to force the state to use that piece of shit system under a no bid contract with the state through the legislature.

Kemp is a dirty sob just like his GOP predecessor was and his gains in wealth while in office smack of how members of Congress get rich as payoffs.

His predecessor as Gov, Nathan Deal, resigned from Congress before his ethics case was heard and spent 8 years serving as the CoC floor leader for legislation. Went from bankruptcy to being a multimillionaire again.

To bring home the evil bacon or sanctified goat and close the deal in November ( beyond their cheat) the Communists will need a visible leader .... a too long way of saying methinks Barky will be The Very Visible Communist Leader in the fall.
. All the Communists already know a vote for 'Biden' is simply a proxy vote for Obama. In the fall the charade of Biden will end as Barky becomes the Un- Constitutional but Very Visible Leader

Shock: Pro-Hamas Smelly Filthy "Protesters" Turn Violent In Atlanta, Austin, and NYC

I'm gutted. I never saw this coming.

At Emory University (Atlanta), "protesters" were raging insanely both against Israel and against police. This new protest is basically just a continuing antifa production against the police training center being built, which they call "cop city."

They ignored demands to leave the property and are now whining and shrieking that their Squatters Rights are not being indulged.

Chaos ensued as Georgia police officers took several people into custody during a pro-Hamas protest at Emory University. Many students were arrested as Atlanta Police officers and Georgia State troopers wrestled the demonstrators to the ground.


One demonstrator was seen being tasered. A video captured several students being sprayed with tear gas. Some witnesses reported rubber bullets being fired at the protesters. Police pinned protesters to the ground and restrained them with zip ties. A female protester was carried away by officers as she sang and screamed.


Students set up a Gaza solidarity encampment on the lawn of the school's quad.

They were also protesting Atlanta's 'Cop City', according to local reports. Protesters demand "total institutional divestment from Israeli apartheid and Cop City at all Atlanta colleges and universities,' according to Fox 5."

They are repeatedly told "you can protest all you like, but you can't take over university lands and set up your filthy homeless tent cities," and so they do exactly that, then they cry when they're arrested.

Let me again underline the irony that pro-Palestinian "protesters" are seizing land that does not belong to them and are then crying when someone comes to kick them off that land.

Fucking colonizers.

At the University of Texas, Austin campus:

Amid a wave of pro-Palestine demonstrations across American campuses, the University of Texas at Austin gained control overe the situation. On Wednesday, over fifty protestors were detained by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers after a campus protest escalated beyond the administration's permitted boundaries. The protest at UT Austin mirrors similar unrest at Columbia University and other institutions, yet the response from state officials has ignited a debate over the balance between free speech and public order.

Governor Greg Abbott swiftly endorsed the arrests, describing the protestors' actions as antisemitic and asserting that such demonstrations would not be tolerated in Texas. "These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period," Abbott stated on X.


An NYU Stinky cried about being arrested just because she broke the law.

As RedState reported Tuesday, things got so intense at the NYU protests that the NYPD was called in to clean house and reestablish order. In the process, dozens were arrested including some professors who had previously formed a human wall around the agitators to protect them from consequences.

READ: Chaotic Scene As NYPD Descends Upon NYU in Riot Gear, Arrests Dozens of Pro-Hamas Extremists

Among the students arrested were Moné Makkawi, whose LinkedIn profile sports "she/her" pronouns and which notes she's a Ph.D. candidate in Middle Eastern studies.

On Twitter/X, Ms. Makkawi goes by the handle "Girl Boss Gulag," but she didn't sound like much of a fearless tough Girl Boss when describing her arrest and detainment in the following mini-thread:


after abducting me & hundred of other nyu students + faculty yesterday, NYPD female officers in holding cells stole my possessions, then talked about it in front of others that were detained after I was released, bragging about how they were teaching me a lesson for protesting.

Abducted? Say, you're supporting the people that kidnapped and raped Israeli women, right?

Yes, they take away your property, except for most clothes, when you're arrested.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this uneducated dolt don't know that.

these people have no interest in protecting or serving anyone but capital, most of them are white supremacists even if they are black/brown. the way they move and operate reflects a deep disdain for the black/brown people they target, harass, surveil, police.

they train with the iof, learn their logics, exchange tactics, and so on. Palestine is never far

Hopefully Trump will revoke her visa and reunite her with her precious Palestine.

Speaking of ignorant crybabies, AOC.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC

Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force.

NYPD had promised the city they wouldn't deploy SRG to protests.

So why are these counterterror units here?

They were observing, not acting. Only this double-digit IQ drama queen would try to milk outrage out of that skinny tit.

The NYPD responded:


NYPD Chief of Patrol
@NYPDChiefPatrol

Truly amazing! Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught. Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law. I am sure you would agree that we have to teach them these valuable life skills.

Secondly, I was with those "units" last Thursday that you describe as having, "the most violent reputations." These "units" removed students with great care and professionalism, not a single incident was reported.

The only incidents that day on campus were the student's hateful anti-Semitic speech and vile language towards our cops. I am sure you agree any hateful speech is unacceptable. You should rethink your comments to a simple thank you to the NYPD and hate has no place in our society.

Maybe you should walk around Columbia and NYU and listen to their remarks of pure hatred. I will ensure those "units" will protect you as they do for all NYers 24/7/365.

Lack of accountability = consequences

Hate from anyone, anywhere has no place in our city and country

The filthy colonizers also set up an encampment at NYC's gayest school, the Fashion Institute of Technology.

A pro-Palestine encampment at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City appears to have sparked a conflict between students and law enforcement.

The FIT Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group shared video via Instagram Thursday showing crowds of protesters chanting and holding signs in and around the school's Shirley Goodman Resource Center. The account wrote students are "NOW GUARDING THE ENCAMPMENT FROM NYPD AND SECURITY."

Another clip from the altercation shows uniformed security guards forcing open doors and fighting to gain entry to the building as students pound on drums.

"FIT SECURITY IS ASSAULTING PEACEFUL PROTESTORS AT ENCAMPMENT," the account wrote.

No, they were attempting to access a building which they have legal access to and you do not.


The protest follows a decision by the school to ban SJP from organizing on campus, it wrote. Students now demand the school divest from Israeli companies, publicly condemn Israel, drop charges against students and show "complete financial transparency."

WE WILL NOT OCCUPY FIT UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET," the SJP wrote.

They mean "We will occupy FIT until our demands are met," but they're uneducated hobos. So, some allowance must be made, as usual.

The Smellies have erected a Hamas Camp at George Washington University, just a stone's throw from the State Department where they'll all get jobs after leftwing judges scrub their police records of all arrests.

Spencer Brown:

FOGGY BOTTOM, DC -- In the same neighborhood that holds the U.S. Department of State and its openly anti-Israel staffers in the nation's capital, antisemitic students at The George Washington University established a Hamas Youth (TM) camp on Thursday similar to the one at Columbia University to champion barbaric terrorists in the Gaza Strip and call for an intifada to eliminate Israel and murder Jews.


Signs in the crowd made vile declarations such as "FINAL SOLUTION" while camped-out students chanted "there is only one resolution // intifada revolution" and "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free."

They Just Want to Breathe (TM).

By Thursday afternoon, the camp had some 20 tents, hundreds of student demonstrators, and a portable bathroom set up on GW's University Yard. A statement from the university on Thursday morning stated that demonstrations were not allowed there and instructed the antisemitic students to move to another location on campus. Students did not comply and the university did not take action to enforce its policies. GW also said overnight encampments aren't permitted and that demonstrators and their camp would be "required" to be gone by 7:00 p.m. Thursday.

USC has given in to the demands of The Stinkies and is cancelling their main graduation ceremony. Because Israel or something.

The University of Southern California announced on Thursday that it has canceled its main-stage graduation ceremony for students, a move that follows campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war and a controversy over its selection of a class valedictorian.
Advertisement

The university said that it could not host the ceremony, which was scheduled for May 10, because of new safety measures that would have increased the amount of time needed on the day to process the 65,000 students and guests who usually attend.

This week, the university has been rocked by turmoil by pro-Palestinian protesters, resulting in the arrests of more than 90 people.

Here's a smile: Obviously the NPCs at formerly-prestigious university Harvard joined in and followed. They too set up an illegal camp on the campus grounds.

The university activated the sprinkler system, giving The Stinkies a much-needed shower.


Everyone cry for The Smellies.

Harvard University's anti-Israel tent encampment was temporarily thwarted overnight -- by a slew of sprinklers that flooded protesters' tents -- as demonstrations rocked other campuses across the country.

Dozens of sleeping protesters who were trying to catch some shuteye were disturbed when the sprinklers suddenly turned on in the middle of the Ivy League's Cambridge campus.

"As protesters spend their first night in the Harvard Yard encampment, the biggest threat to their stay has not come from administrators or Harvard University police officers, but the Yard's sprinklers," the Harvard Crimson student-led paper said early Thursday.

The first sprinkler switched on just outside the encampment in Harvard Yard at about 2:30 a.m. as temperatures dipped to 36 degrees.

Then, just before 4 a.m., a sprinkler located in the middle of the tents started spraying out water, prompting students to quickly start handing out buckets.

"Two more sprinklers turned on at the edge of the encampment near Massachusetts Hall," the newspaper said in a live blog update at 4:05 a.m.

"The sprinklers began to hit tents on the edge of the camp before protesters rushed over to cover the sprinklers with buckets and sit on them."

Harvard's Palestine Solidarity Committee said in an Instagram post some of the students' tents were flooded with freezing cold water after the 4 a.m. burst. A video showed a student struggling to readjust a tarpaulin in a wet tent.

As Monk once said of The Dirties: "They make their own sauce."

Little question: The school year is ending in two weeks. That means everyone will be taking their final exams, and turning in their final papers, over the next couple of weeks.

Have the Dirties cleared it with the students actually interested in getting a degree for the $80,000 per year they're paying that the school will be turned into a No-Go CHAZ/CHAP situation during the most critical two weeks of the year, or nah?

Police pinned protesters to the ground and restrained them with zip ties. A female protester was carried away by officers as she sang and screamed.

As far as Americans go, this is coming from the same side that wants American to always bend the knee to the UN--an organization where we have a special status on the Security Committee.

When you can't deal with the concept of authority you can't deal with authorities doing things you don't like, like transferring land to the Zionists (which only means Jews should have a "home in Zion"), who had been traveling back there since ~1880s and 90s and actually brought back the land from desolation.

But, like every other authority for the left, authority tells YOU what you have to comply with, when it disagrees with ME, it's WRONG.

I think leftism--and it's more benign version of "liberalism" that held in America for a time--is all about avoiding consequences of living in the real world.

In fairness, the same could be said of Christianity, but Christians believe the World can be overcome by its authority.

This would be typical, and would rhyme with "Zimbabwe" and "South Africa."

And yes, South African farmers, at least, are armed. Many even partner with each other for mutual protection. These things help, which is one of the reasons it hasn't gotten as bad as it did in Zimbabwe - but when the state sponsors the terror-murderers, they have remarkable latitude to act.

One of the sources of this in South Africa is foreign migrant labor that resides, even if only "temporarily" on the farm. This is not the only source of farm murders, but it is a factor. The foreign migrant laborers are still protected when they attack a white domestic farmer who owns the property. We have plenty of foreign farm labor, too, and if it's cartel-aligned, don't rule out similar when the time comes here. The reavers don't have to come from without.

For the past couple of decades, young people especially have been warned about behaviors captured on social media or otherwise on the interwebz, since as you note that's virtually the first thing all serious employers had started to do as an initial job application screening.

[And now, The Junta's DOJ is trying to criminalize criminal background checks because they're "discriminatory" against non-whites or something.]

Anyway, I had the reverse experience: (after retiring from software development), I applied for a driving gig (despite having no experience -- like you really need any) and the owner searched for any online history. I'd just had a Twitter account for a few months -- during the "debate" over DeathCare -- and had about a hundred posts.

He turned out to be very libertarian-conservative, and liked my posts and avatar so much, that he went ahead and hired me.

132 Ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:

“We hope everyone has a good time this weekend, because if Donald Trump wins in November, this Saturday could also be known as the last White House Correspondents’ Dinner. To state the obvious: Trump is a thin-skinned narcissist who – despite spending seemingly every waking moment glued to his seat consuming cable news – is constantly attacking the free press and unable to handle a little good-natured ribbing. He skipped the White House Correspondents’ Dinner every single year he was in office because of his deep-seated insecurities and pathetic desperation to be liked by the same people he rails against – and that was before he outright banned members of his administration from attending at all. Fun and jokes aside this weekend, Saturday is also a reminder of what’s at stake with an angry, vengeful Trump on the ballot. He may be a punchline, but he is also a sad, vindictive wannabe authoritarian who shows no respect for the First Amendment – or the Fourth Estate.”

They are NPCs. This is why that meme was made.

None of these people have put even a single moment of personal thought into any of this. They have had the "good" people pointed out to them.

The "good" people said, let's have a protest because something happened that you don't understand because you've given not a single moment of personal thought about it and protests are fun. We'll get out of class, chant some nonsensical shit, express our "outrage", and TPTB will "give in to us" like the script says.

The students should be grateful. Campus cops, by and large, are there to shield students from consequences. By taking a lot of enforcement in-house, the universities can protect students from the *real* law and make a lot of stuff go away. Students hate them (any restriction is hated), but those campus cops are really there to keep the students *out* of the pokey.

If it gets bad enough for the *real* riot cops or National Guard to get involved, those protections vanish and they have to depend on the largess of the NGOs and corrupt DAs. They're probably still fine, but it will take longer and be more expensive and harder to deal with.

Soros is a NUT! Most conservatives think he's a Marxist--but he's not. He actually has some very astute theories about human behavior and history--but then his megalomania takes over from there.

He's got a theory that the course of history needs crisis to change. Again it's not a bad theory. But he needs that chaos to change the world into the "Open Society". Soros, himself, refutes Marxism, and actually likes markets.

However, in order to make the change that he needs, he needs chaos. ... so he funds chaos. Even though America is one of the countries that comes the closest to his vision of "Open Society", we are too successful, and our success creates "dollar hegemony" which makes the rest of the world serve it. America is his target, because of the "Dollar hegemony".

225 Univ of Texas President Jay Hartzell is a human cuttlefish, which is actually an insult to spineless creatures. Back during peak-BLM the campus lefties determined that “The Eyes of Texas” was a racist song bcuz it was performed at a minstrel show a century ago. Woke band members refused to play the alma mater. Hartzell responded by hiding under his desk and whimpering in fear that a 19 year old clarinetist might call him a racist. He promised to create a protest band that would attend football games starting in 2022 for the purpose of *not* playing the school song. When things cooled off after a year or two, he just pretended his wimpy capitulation never happened. This helpless piece of rotten gelatin is running the school. Governor Abbott needs to threaten his regents to replace Hartzell.

The Obama Administration should remove Hamas from the terrorist list, former President Jimmy Carter told media following his visit to Gaza today. He said he plans on pushing for the change when he meets with U.S. officials on Thursday to discuss his latest trip to the Middle East.

Carter’s comments came during a joint press conference with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh following their meeting today in Gaza. The former president said he tried to convince Hamas leaders to denounce violence, accept the existing interim agreements and recognize the right of the Jewish state to exist.

"Hamas leaders want peace and they want to have reconciliation not only with their Fatah brothers but also eventually with Israelis to live side by side, with two nations, both sovereign nations recognized by each other and living in peace," Carter said.

On top of that, though, any disruption that does happen to occur will get no camera time. Any media allowed access will be either incredibly friendly to the goal of keeping the affair neat and tidy or shoved into a small box where they can't see anything unapproved.

It's bullshit in his own terms.

What is an "Open Society"? Well, Soros puts it as a society where any member has an equal role in shaping it.

Soros believes that it is his role--and life's work--to bring us his vision. So, by definition, nobody will have more say in how society is shaped then George Soros.

But just like Marxist never-neverland, only in an Open Society will people be perfect enough to participate in an Open Society. Only once Soros has broken us of all our flaws that keep us from "Open Society" can he then give us our share of the reins.

Plus, it's clear from his other view of history is that history is shaped by mistaken perceptions (it's an interesting theory) and how those misperceptions create mistakes, like the boom-and-bust cycle that it is NOT AT ALL clear which specific shape of society is allowable.

The live interview went sideways after Joe Biden absurdly claimed he “got arrested standing on a porch with a black family” during the civil rights movement.

Biden recounted a conversation with his mother: “She said Joey, remember – true story – remember when they were desegregating… the neighborhood, you know, 70 homes built…and there was a black family moving in and people were down there protesting. I told you not to go down there and you went down. Remember that? And you came and got arrested for standing on the porch with a black family and they brought you back, the police? I said, yeah mom, I remember that!”

This is why Biden’s handlers do not allow him to do live interviews.

That could be. But his Alchemy of Finance is clear enough, that Soros satisfies his say "theory" that he is "like a god" by delivering Utopia to all us rabble.

He presents a vision that is clear enough that while it may not be legit, at least has to be discussed as positive motivation.

He doesn't mind profiting from his display of the disaster that can come from overreaction that the market does not guard against. The flaw of market overestimation (mistaken perception) is displayed and he is richer, having displayed that.

No, the weakness that is in Soros is his own megalomania. No such theory may exist (it may be one of his own mistaken perceptions), however that doesn't create the role of Soros as savior and doesn't serve his ego. So, his own misperception--by which *he* wants to shape society--must propose The Solution.

THE MORNING RANT: Follow-Up to Post Regarding Reliance on Falsified Government Economic Data; Also ESG Investments Facing Major Outflows

My post this past Monday was titled “Why Do Intelligent People Continue to Rely on Government Data That is Known to Be False?” In it, I discussed the persistently false economic data published by the government, especially the Department of Labor’s inflation and jobs reports, and how intelligent(?) people in positions of authority “make critical decisions based on that data, even though there is a near certainty it will be revised to a less favorable report (or simply proven false) once the headlines become stale.”

Reader TGSam then sent the following from Jim Bianco to my attention, which shows that not only are the Department of Labor’s jobs reports not reliable, but the DOL doesn’t even really put any effort into producing their fraudulent weekly jobs report. It would appear that they pick a round number and just run with it for weeks on end.

Mr. Bianco points out the statistical improbability of there being exactly 212,000 claims for initial unemployment week after week. (The number is always rounded to the nearest thousand, but the likelihood of it being 212k every week is extremely improbable.) He writes:

Below is the number of initial filings for unemployment insurance. How is this statistically possible? Five of the last six weeks, the exact same number. Effectively the same number in the last 11 weeks, except for the holiday weeks (President's Day and Easter).

Consider, The US is a $28 trillion economy. It has 160 million workers. Initial claims for unemployment insurance are state programs, with 50 state rules, hundreds of offices, and 50 websites to file. Weather, seasonality, holidays, and economic vibrations drive the number of people filing claims from week to week. Yet this measure is so stable that it does not vary by even 1,000 applications a week. Just the number of applications incorrectly filled out every week should cause it to vary more than this.

A little digging shows that the Department of Labor intentionally empowers it employees to work some statistical magic on the actual (“unadjusted” jobs figures they have compiled. At the link where the DOL issues its weekly press release announcing the number of new unemployment filings, there is this explanation for the “seasonal adjustment” that has been administered:

C. Seasonal Adjustments and Annual Revisions
Over the course of a year, the weekly changes in the levels of initial claims and continued claims undergo regularly occurring fluctuations. These fluctuations may result from seasonal changes in weather, major holidays, the opening and closing of schools, or other similar events. Because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular pattern each year, their influence on the level of a series can be tempered by adjusting for regular seasonal variation. These adjustments make trend and cycle developments easier to spot. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) with a set of seasonal factors to apply to the unadjusted data during that year. Concurrent with the implementation and release of the new seasonal factors, ETA incorporates revisions to the UI claims historical series caused by updates to the unadjusted data.

As I dove into that website, I saw that the “seasonal adjustment” is actually done every single week, bringing the initial filing report back to the boilerplate 212k number that is constantly being reported.

But again, to Mr. Bianco’s point, even if the seasonal adjustment is done weekly using some mathematical formula that is applied to the unadjusted number, then there should still be some variance from 212k.

It seems rather clear that the “adjusted” figure is just a number pulled out of the air by a DOL employee who can’t be bothered to spend 5 minutes coming up with a new phony number to replace the prior week’s phony number.

*****

Related - a gentleman named Don Harrison, with whom I’ve developed a friendship through mutual friends at the Heartland Institute, sent me the following note in response to the question “Why Do Intelligent People Continue to Rely on Government Data That is Known to Be False?” I found his note to be a terrific essay unto itself.

”I think intelligent people are so often wrong because they ARE intelligent, and because of how their intelligence has come to be nurtured and treated in our modern age. First, people with high IQs are now identified at an early age, and funneled into courses of study that focus on the use and manipulation of symbols, both verbal and mathematical. This gives them a very narrow understanding of the way the world works. In addition, they have been told from an early age how brilliant they are, which teaches them to prize their own thinking above all else. And when they do reach out for another opinion, they almost exclusively deal with people who have similar backgrounds. They have no conception of the implications of William Buckley’s statement that he “would rather be ruled by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty.” A large group of people will have a store of wisdom, intelligence and experience that a smaller coterie of the best and brightest cannot hope to match. The most distinguishing shortcoming of the intelligentsia is not near-sightedness, progressive politics or an addiction to Starbucks; it is hubris. They don’t know what they don’t know.

I am sure that part of the reason for Thomas Sowell’s true genius is a background that acquainted him with a wide slice of life and taught him humility. As I get older, I am very grateful that I grew up in circumstances that were in some ways similar to his. By the time I got out of high school, I had played sports, planted tobacco, acted in school plays, fished, captained the It’s Academic team, flipped burgers and won oratorical contests. Today a middle-class kid with an academic bent has a tightly overseen routine with no opportunity to get his hands dirty. My tobacco planting, fishing and burger flipping would have no place in his life. All the managers when I worked at McDonalds were former NCOs. You learn things from a Marine with a scar from the corner of his mouth to his ear that he got from a North Korean bayonet in the retreat from the Chosin Reservoir that you can’t pick up in a classroom.

Bottom line: high IQs that are nurtured without an acquaintance with a breadth of experience result in a kind of sterile, and dangerous, stupidity.”

Thank you, Don. Interestingly, Mr. Harrison’s passion and area of expertise is anti-ESG investing. He was a featured guest last month with Jim Lakely and the Heartland gang on their weekly “Climate Realism” broadcast, discussing the topic of “Is ESG on the Outs?” which can be seen at this link if you’re so inclined.

Coincidentally, this heartwarming story about the backlash to ESG investing was just published yesterday:

“US Fund Managers With ESG Mandates Have Worst-Ever Outflows” [Bloomberg – 4/25/2024]

US fund managers suffered their worst-ever quarter for ESG-focused products as the pace of client redemptions intensified. Client withdrawals from US funds targeting environmental, social and governance goals reached $8.8 billion in the first three months of 2024, according to fresh data compiled by Morningstar Inc.

The scale of redemptions from US ESG funds dragged down global inflows, which were a modest $900 million in the first quarter, Morningstar said.

Victory in the culture wars will not occur in Congress, or in the courts, or most anywhere at the federal level. But we can deliver resounding blows to the left in local elections and in how we use our money.

“Sustainable funds have been facing many headwinds in the past couple of years, including elevated energy prices, high interest rates and an ESG backlash in the US,” said Hortense Bioy, global director of sustainability research at Morningstar.

Millions of us using our wallets as weapons are having an impact and causing pain to the woke left. Don’t let up.

Have a great weekend.

33 The thing about "seasonal adjustments" (whether valid or not) is that they should adjust the raw number up or down by a constant factor that is itself derived by tracking, over many years, of how the raw numbers themselves change seasonally.

So if your output number is unchanged for weeks at a time, it follows that the raw number is unchanged for weeks at a time, which is really, really unlikely. BLS is doing Hamas casualty accounting here.

This is beyond sick. Kristi Noem shot and killed the family's 14-month puppy because it couldn't be trained as a hunting dog...Noem recalled in her book "No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,"

'I hated that dog': Kristi Noem recalls gunning down family's 'worthless' pup. She then recounts how she killed one of her family's goats, a “nasty and mean" male that had not been castrated, by dragging him to the gravel pit, and afterward she realized a nearby construction crew had watched her slaughter both animals before her children were dropped off by a school bus.

Wow. What a piece of shit. And not too bright, either, since there are tons of republican & maga dog lovers, too.

The dog was "having the time of her life." Can't have that! The woman is insane, and shouldn't be in any public office - or public place, for that matter. Nobody's telling tales out of school, here - she's tooting her own horn. What the hell is wrong with South Dakota?

51 >> exactly 212,000 claims for initial unemployment week after week

Heh. Reminds of a business trip to Dubai in August. Freakin' hot! Asked a local how it was that workers could be out there building skyscrapers in that heat. She assured me that there is a regulation that no building can happen when it gets over 114f (or something close to that) -- she then paused, smiled, and said "and you know, it never gets over 114!"

Maybe 212k is an arbitrary ceiling value, and, say, if it gets over 212k then it triggers some market panic or whatever, so it just never gets over 212, wink wink wink!

52 The premise of the issue assumes these are both intelligent AND objective people, and they're not. They might be intelligent but subjectively committed to Marxism and tearing down this country as founded, and the 'official' data is a tool towards that purpose and thus to be propagated, not challenged. That is why a truly 'intelligent' person would use the 'false' data. Then there's the unintelligent people raised in the ruling class bubble to think they're intelligent that's being discussed here, which is a different thing. I love the 'A Fish Called Wanda' line that applies here:

WANDA: But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?

OTTO: Apes don't read philosophy.

WANDA: Yes they do, Otto. They just don't understand it.

I'm sure that happens in all sorts of places. If you have some adverse affect that will result from the data showing this or that, you avoid the data showing this or that.

Part of this comes from underlings who don't want their bosses to come down on them for not fixing the problem, and instead making the bosses aware of something not being right.

There's a strong incentive for a LOT of people, not to let their bosses know what's wrong.

Posted by: BurtTC at April 26, 2024 11:31 AM (dGCAG)

81 But again, to Mr. Bianco’s point, even if the seasonal adjustment is done weekly using some mathematical formula that is applied to the unadjusted number, then there should still be some variance from 212k.
++++
Unless 212k is the goal and they adjust the model to reflect the goal.

Like Red China's GDP figures, for example. The Central Committee hands down a goal to the provinces from Beijing, who hand it down to the districts, who hand it down to the local.

The central Party bosses tell the leaders of Jiangsu province that their GDP goal is 8.2%, the Jiangsu Party bosses tell the rural division leaders that their goal is 6.5% and the urban division leaders that their goal is 9.5%, The division leaders tell the district leaders what *their* goals are, and expect results. Nanking's city leaders then spend a bunch of money on phony investments, auction land rights, hand out subsidies, line their own pockets, etc. and then invent a 10.1% growth figure to hand up to Xuanwu District bosses, who aggregate it and declare victory.

What was the real growth rate for Nanking or Xuanwu District or Jiangsu Province or Red China? Search me. But it hit the goal, and that's what matters.

Most high iq people tend to go into technical stuff. Engineers are not particularly prone to backstabbing. It's mostly the middling or average iq people newly empowered with college degrees, particularly from the liberal arts departments that have these attitudes.

Kids who go into classes where the median iq is 130 can easily live their entire education and most of their professional lives without meeting many people who aren't from that same bubble.

Having a college degree doesn't convey status when everyone you've ever known has a college degree. It's at the intersection point that we see the most ego.

134 I would make one other suggestion about intelligent people: just because someone is very successful/knowledgeable doing one thing doesn't mean they will be knowledgeable/successful at something else or all other things.

I think of people who have started very successful business and then decide to do something completely different and it flops - because they assumed their competence in one area would automatically apply to all ventures.

Same with all those intellectuals/scientists who got on board with climate change and covid - like, just because you're a fabulous physicist doesn't mean your opinion on immunology is more valid than the rest of ours - you can't just assume success/intelligence in one pursuit means all things you touch or think are magically more informed and better reasoned.

You wouldn't expect your plumber, who's built a successful business and whom you trust completely, to be an expert opinion on farming. Sure, as a business owner he may have some insight that you may not, but his success doesn't mean he understands the intricacies of making a farm work. And yet we have CEOs, actors, professors lecturing us constantly on subject outside of their expertise.

151 According to Newsweek, Noem said in her book that the dog was aggressive and unfocused, and ran around wildly instead of flushing birds as intended. Then, while returning from a hunting/training with the dog:

Noem then used an electronic collar to attempt to bring her under control, she wrote, but that didn't work. Then on the way home, Cricket (the dog) escaped Noem's truck and attacked the family's chickens, "grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another." This made the chickens' owner cry and Noem financially renumerated them and helped them clean the mess the dog had made.

"At that moment," Noem said, "I realized I had to put her down."

"It was not a pleasant job," she writes, "but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done." (Killing the aggressive, ungelded goat)

I'm not sure what group you're trying to say is intellectual here.

People in STEM are higher IQ. The liberal arts are lower iq. Within the business school, at the higher end is economics and finance, the lower end is management and marketing. Math, logic, spatial reasoning are basically what IQ tests tend to measure.

The high iq people overwhelmingly do not go into lines of work related to supporting some sort of message. It's advanced math and logic related stuff.

It’s even funnier when you know people with red hair don’t go grey- the red pigment fades overtime and goes to blonde and then white with kinda funky variations in between. Biden is an imbecile.

That's me right now. I was only partly reddish when young, but now it's like a warm blond color. My beard is a dull gray though.

So I think Trump - whose ancestors came from the same part of the world as mine did - his hair color is real. Maybe a little henna - which is not bleach.

The answer is the same one I've been discussing for a while.

Government unemployment figures tell you how many people are on unemployment insurance which is essentially just the people unemployed for a short time.

If you look at the labor participation rates they are about as low as they've ever been.

You might not believe the jobs report, but if the hedge fund manager next door believes in it and acts on it, you might miss out.

That its this consistent would bother me from the outset but seasonal adjustment is a real thing because you want to normalize against holidays and calendar effects and other trends.

What is bizarre would be the whole numbers which may be a reporting or privacy issue as governments have been more panicky about privacy. Now, that doesn't mean shenanegans aren't going on...

15 Sebastian (Latin: Sebastianus; c. AD 255 – c. AD 28 was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to traditional belief, he was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting. In all versions of the story, shortly after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result was clubbed to death.[1][2] He is venerated in the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.

37 On a related note and touching on a long term Horde topic, I remember seeing a recreation of bows/armor from the hundred years war.

They recreated the longbow of the time and the arrows and had a trained modern archer fire at a re-creation of a French breastplate.

Even at short range the longbow could not pierce the french armor.

45 This is such a powerful image. Sebastian's unblemished skin and body pierced by the violence of the arrows and those who shot them. As usual, van Honthorst captures such accurate musculature and skin tones. (CBD has used other paintings by this artist.) His ability to use lighting, especially artificial lighting effectively is remarkable. The dark background makes Sebastian's body and injuries almost pop out at the viewer.

I wonder if this image was in Robert Heinlein's mind when he described Smith's destruction at the end of "Stranger In A Strange Land". It immediately brought it to my mind.

60 According to traditional belief, he was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting. In all versions of the story, shortly after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result was clubbed to death

I *think* the rain of arrows mostly just disorganized and exhausted the French soldiers with the occasional arrow/splintered arrow hitting a weak spot and causing an injury which then helped the English melee troops kill the French as they finally got to the English line.

87 That arrow in the chest would be squarely in the left ventricle.. It is medial to the mid-clavicular line, medial to and slightly below the left nipple, and clearly above the diaphragm. It is in about the sixth intercostal space and lacking emergency cardiac surgical capabilities (or divine intervention) would be clearly lethal.

Honthorst must have seen many depictions of the saint’s martyrdom during the period that he worked in Rome, but he likely painted this work a few years after he returned to his native Utrecht in 1620. There were a number of outbreaks of the plague in Utrecht between 1624 and 1626, and Sebastian was revered as a ‘plague saint’, believed to offer protection against the deadly and highly contagious disease.

133 113 English bowyers bows had up to 110 lb pulls. Their spine,arms and muscles physically changed in order to pull and launch their arrows.

In the video I watched the man they had firing the recreated longbow was a modern professional archer (more or less).

He had the build of a weight lifter.

They had one of the historians try and pull the bow and he barely could once...let alone aim and do it repeatedly.

The body part which the French proposed to cut off of the English after defeating them was, of course, the middle finger, without which it is impossible to draw the renowned English longbow.

This famous weapon was made of the native English yew tree, and so the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking yew".

Thus, when the victorious English waved their middle fingers at the defeated French, they said, "See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!"

157 88>>> I took archery for a while in college and got fairly good at it.

Then I went to a medieval faire and they had an arrow shooting game. I figured this would be an easy win.

And...as I picked up the crappiest bow I'd ever seen and was given the worst arrow I'd ever shot I realized the issue with winning the game was NOT the lack of archery skill by the contestants.


I always thought it would be good fun if tennis or golf would have exhibition matches where the pros would use 60s- or 70s-era equipment for a match. No oversize heads on racquets, no watermelon-sized drivers. Just persimmon heads and Wilson Pro-Staff wooden racquets.

178 Fire arrows: One of the first forms of weaponized gunpowder, fire arrows have been in use since the 9th century. The fire arrow earned its name from the Chinese term ‘huojian,’ which literally translates to ‘fire arrow.’

Fire arrows were not very popular due to their low effectiveness – the speed of the arrow would often extinguish the flame.

187 "Vampire facial" is the common name for a platelet-rich plasma microneedling procedure. In this treatment, a patient's blood is drawn, spun down to separate out plasma from blood cells, and the platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the face with microneedles. It's claimed—with little evidence—that it can rejuvenate and improve the look of skin, and got notable promotions from celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian.

194 Scoop: Biden changes walking routine to Marine One

President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine. Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides.

Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and journalists' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait.
----------

First, Biden hasn't changed anything. He doesn't know what day it is.

Second, they're not "drawing less attention", they are "blocking media access".

Wow. Trying to monetize a guy's hope of getting laid in a new way. Does not matter if you actually get laid or not within the two hours, you've already stuck your dick in the condom. Unless you wanted to recycle (contra to the business model), you have to get a new one the next time you think you might get laid.

I have seen some stupid business ideas... on the other hand monetizing a guy's desire to get laid is a surefire winner- as long as it does not make him feel stupid. At least Axe body spray/cologne is at least theoretically working for you.

HIV is remarkably fragile, iirc. It would have to be blood fairly fresh from the tap and the ladies would have to have some sort of abrasion on their faces.

That's why anal sex is such a good transmission. At the risk of offending any gay or inclined members of the horde, the anus is not made to have a cock thundering through it. Damage results. Now all you need is an abrasion on said dick, and you have your path of emission and contraction.

The Morning Report — 4/26/24

hallofmiras.jpg

Good morning, kids. Much like George Jetson had a collapsible flying car in a suitcase, Harvey Weinstein, had a collapsible Posturepedic in his back pocket, and whipped it out con gusto to threaten career death to female starlets unless they gobbled his pockmarked johnson. Yet, he had his 2020 rape conviction tossed by the NY State Court of appeals yesterday.

Having worked in the film biz during his heyday in the 90s, scores of anecdotal stories abound from men and women of how he screwed them over, both figuratively and quite literally. Mira Sorvino, whose career tanked when she came forward with accusations, and whose late father Paul wanted to justifiably tear Weinstein limb from limb, had this reaction on the X-Twitter deal:

“Day after #DenimDay honoring sexual violence survivors, Harvey Weinstein’s conviction overturned, due partly to ‘Molineux witnesses’ testifying to prior bad acts, like lioness Annabella Sciorra,” Sorvino’s post read, referring to a term meaning “witnesses in a trial who are allowed to testify about criminal acts that the defendant has not been charged with committing,” The New York Times noted.

“Since when don’t courts allow evidence of pattern of prior bad acts to be admitted?” she added. “He’s a prolific serial predator who raped/harmed 200+women! Disgusted w/justice system skew [to] predators not victims.”

In the interest of full disclosure, I was neither a juror nor an observer of the trial, and so was not privy to the evidence that led to his conviction, my anecdotal experience/knowledge of his reputation notwithstanding. In one sense, I feel bad for Sorvino and the other victims.

That said, with all due respect to Ms. Sorvino, I could care fuck all. She's "disgusted" at the justice system? Funny how she and all the other supposed "victims" of Harvey Weinstein were dead silent when the same NY court convicted Donald Trump of libel and awarded multi-millions of dollars to E. Jean Carrol for her cock and bull story of being raped and/or groped by Trump. Which he had neither been charged nor convicted, as if that matters these days, but I digress. For publicly defending himself by calling her out for the liar she was – which is in the febrile, reptilian, pea-sized mind of Leftists a crime against humanity – Trump got what he deserved.

I have no love for Weinstein. But it's kind of sickly ironic that perhaps the court did the right thing for tossing his conviction. Perhaps not. And yet after a sham of a travesty of two mockeries of a farce of a libel trial, the same court system has Trump on trial for supposedly using campaign cash as hush money to silence Sloppy Daniels prior to 2016. The case is a joke and everyone knows it. The problem is the system is so abjectly corrupted that the Constitution and rule of law are out the window in service to leftist political expedience.

Despite the prosecution’s best efforts to insinuate former President Trump‘s involvement in—or even knowledge of—the “catch and kill” scheme, Pecker’s testimony continues to fall short of any direct implication. The prosecution frequently used the “catch and kill” term as well as referring to Cohen and Pecker’s activities as a “scheme,” hoping to convince the jury of illegal activity when, in fact, there appears to be none.Under cross-examination by Trump‘s attorney Emil Bove, Pecker even admitted he’d never heard the term “catch and kill” before the prosecution used it. Bove asked Pecker if “it was always your intention, dating back to the early days of this friendship, not to publish negative stories about President Trump?” The tabloid newsman responded, “Yes.”

Pecker also acknowledged he has held back negative stories about other notable public figures, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, businessman Ronald Perelman, and Obama Chief of Staff-turned-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Further undermining the prosecution’s case, he added that it was his understanding that Cohen was acting in a personal capacity for Trump, not on behalf of the presidential campaign.

Like the E. Jean Carrol case, will this matter in the end with a judge, prosecutor and likely 12 angry New York City hand-picked stooges? Doubtful.

And Trump, along with scores of innocent people might just catch a break at SCOTUS on yet another trumped up, banana republic bullshit persecution, vis a vis "presidential immunity." Here's Turley's take:

Writer Ray Bradbury once said, “Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.” In Thursday’s case before the Supreme Court on the immunity of former President Donald Trump, nine justices appear to be feverishly working with feathers and glue on a plunge into a constitutional abyss.

It has been almost 50 years since the high court ruled presidents have absolute immunity from civil lawsuits in Nixon v. Fitzgerald. The court held ex-President Richard Nixon had such immunity for acts taken “within the ‘outer perimeter’ of his official responsibility.” Yet in 1974’s United States v. Nixon, the court ruled a president is not immune from a criminal subpoena. Nixon was forced to comply with a subpoena for his White House tapes in the Watergate scandal from special counsel Leon Jaworski.

Since then, the court has avoided any significant ruling on the extension of immunity to a criminal case — until now. There are cliffs on both sides of this case. If the court were to embrace special counsel Jack Smith’s arguments, a president would have no immunity from criminal charges, even for official acts taken in his presidency. It would leave a president without protection from endless charges from politically motivated prosecutors. If the court were to embrace Trump counsel’s arguments, a president would have complete immunity. It would leave a president largely unaccountable under the criminal code for any criminal acts.

The first cliff is made obvious by the lower-court opinion. While the media have largely focused on extreme examples of president-ordered assassinations and coups, the justices are clearly as concerned with the sweeping implications of the DC Circuit opinion. . .

. . . The other cliff is more than obvious from the other proceedings occuring as these arguments were made. Trump’s best attorney proved to be Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. If the justices want insight into the implications of denying any immunity, they just need to look north to New York City. The ongoing prosecution of Trump is legally absurd but has resulted in the leading presidential candidate not only being gagged but prevented from campaigning.

Alvin Bragg is very personification of the danger immunity is meant to avoid. . .

. . . I have long opposed sweeping arguments of immunity from criminal charges for presidents. The devil is in the details, and many justices are struggling with how to define official versus nonofficial conduct. The line-drawing proved maddening for the justices in the oral argument. The most they could say is similar to the story of the man who jumped off a building. As he passes an office window halfway down, another man calls out to ask how he’s doing. The jumper responds, “So far so good.”

As the justices work on a new set of legal wings, anything is possible as the nation waits for the court to hit ground zero in the middle of the 2024 presidential election.

So, let's say SCOTUS does manage to perform a Solomonic miracle and "mostly peacefully" cleave the baby in half. The only thing that will do is enrage a perpetually enraged Democrat-Left to either dissolve or permanently pack SCOTUS with a bench full of Roland Freisler/Enorgon-Erdogon-Enron-Gorgon clones.

That underscores my argument that this nation is divided not only on a panoply of issues but on the legitimacy of the nation itself, and on those of us who are desperate to restore and preserve what it once was. Or at least as we had imagined it to be.

The annihilationist rhetoric about Jews heard on campuses around the country, horrendous as it is, is not merely about Jews, nor did it spring up in a vacuum. It happened because of decades of anti-American and anti-Western indoctrination on said campuses going at least as far back as when individuals like Theodore Adorno and Herbert Marcuse fled actual European Fascism and paid us back by injecting the poison of Marx and Gramsci into the American educational system.

Presto chango, 80 years later and voila! We live in a nation that resembles the bastard child of 1968 Chicago with 1938 Nuremberg. Everything is upside-down, thoroughly corrupt almost everywhere you turn, and really nowhere to run.

Even if we somehow win in 2024, or win every election for the next 40 years, and both of those are seriously in doubt, we will still have at least a third of the population (not including the millions of illegal foreigners who I wouldn't count on for help) wanting us dead as well as a propaganda/brainwashing complex disguised as academia that will produce yet another generation of useless pod people who will be eager to line us up and shoot us into a ditch. Ironic considering their hatred of the Second Amendment.

I used the "R" word yesterday maybe reluctantly but now, there really is no other way out. Face it. America as it was is virtually if not completely gone. If we somehow survive the coming maelstrom of internal conflict and end up victorious, we must reconstruct a society and form of government that never again allows the scum who destroyed us in the first place to ever be within a billion billion light years of power and influence. If that means ditching the Constitution, so be it.

If a revolution is what they want, then we should be the ones to give it to them. Good and hard.

18 Police were forced to remove two pro-Palestine protesters from the Oxford Union on Thursday after they hijacked a speech by Nancy Pelosi, the former US speaker of the House.

The pair of students waved Palestinian flags as they disrupted her address at the debating society shortly after 6pm.

The protesters were swiftly removed by Thames Valley Police and escorted out as the crowd inside the chamber applauded.

21 Justice has no place in our judicial system. Outcomes, good or bad, are dictated for the subject classes without much (if any) regard to the letter or spirit of laws. For the ruling classes, they're just paid for with money and influence, and Weinstein is no different.

That sucks, but I'm not moved by the particulars of his case. He's a repulsive, piglike beastman who belongs in the ground, but bought his freedom with gobs of cash and his accrued political clout. His putative victims were lowlife slatterns who belonged in the gutter, but bought status with their clapped out front holes.

Very difficult to find a good outcome in any of this, short of chucking the lot of them in the hold of a ship and selling them as chattels in some far flung land across the sea where they can't bother us anymore.

43 I think you are beginning to see that some Justices on the Supreme Court are waking up to the fact that dodging cases like Texas vs PA only meant more contentious cases will show up at their doorstep, while the country rips itself apart. Doubtful they'd be hearing all these cases now had they just faced their duty then.

Kavanaugh seemed to hint at that yesterday, that these cases have long reaching effects for the country and that the SCOTUS has to face them head on, not dodge.

To do that, they'll have to give the Presidency total immunity or expect more cases...but we'll see if they dodge again or face it....

And maybe it's time to bring this simmering conflict to heel or pop it wide open... either way, but quit playing by the left's rules.

Doubtful they'd be hearing all these cases now had they just faced their duty then.

54 SCOTUS has 3 distinguished justices: Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch. Not always right, but rigorous thinkers who try to actually, you know, interpret the constitution. Kavanaugh and Barrett have young kids and wanna be loved in DC neighborhoods; their native instincts are good but bottom line they’re cowards. John Roberts is a company man through and through and probably compromised. Kagan is a “reasonable” lefty…. Sometimes. The Latina Sotomayor is a lefty ideologue and Brown is a lefty ideologue with noticeably low IQ. These are our shining legal lights????

sadly, that was a writer I've admired yesterday, Matt Walsh, attacking Gov. Abbott for breaking up the pro-Hamas demonstrations at UT. These campus takeovers are carefully orchestrated and financed attacks on civil order in general, and *nobody* has done anything effective to fight back except Gov. Abbott. And what he did is supported by an overwhelming majority of Texans, if for no other reason that we don't put up with that kind of shit around here.

Some attorney was on the Benny Johnson podcast after the Supreme Court hearing ended and made an interesting point about the Founding Fathers; they actually may have foreseen a scenario we are in today, where one political party attempts to criminalize the opposing.

I think SCOTUS will hand down a 7-2 or 6-4 ruling saying Presidents have immunity for official acts and then throw it back down to the lower courts to figure out if what Trump is alleged to have done is an official act.

It's the typical SCOTUS, narrow and tight rulings when anything involving a conservative/republican is before the court.

Probably 20%-25% of the population are actual partisans of some kind. Maybe a bit more now since the education system is designed to manufacture partisans (and one variety of partisan, at that). The rest aren't. There is no "majority ideal" or somesuch. Most people just back the strong horse. Right now, and for the past couple of decades, the left has been the strong horse and so most people are down with it.

Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses.
These protesters belong in jail.
Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period.
Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled."

Matt claimed that he was upset that the rioters were being arrested for "antisemitism", but in fact that's just an explanation of their motives for rioting and trying to disrupt an entire campus, and also to violently intimidate anyone who opposes them.

I can get behind that reasoning.

Antisemitism is not illegal. Anyone who wants to can hate me for being a Jew. It's stupid and bigoted, but it's his right. Free association and all that. But he's not allowed to impede me, or get violent with me, or organize with a bunch of pals to attack me. He can hate me all he wants and he's free to be as big an antisemite as he wishes and to have nothing to do with me, but that's where it ends.

Abbott was arresting students - and rightly so - for being a violent mob impeding and hurting other people until the institution backed its own bigoted position. That's terrorism, not free speech and free association and they *should* be in jail - but not for "antisemitism."

So Trump wasn't personally responsible for ensuring that House Republicans voted for the money. Funny, that.

I agree, of course. But it's sophistry to pretend to not understand that Abbott's statement was expressing a moral and political explanation, not a courtroom legal explanation. And personally I find it a breath of fresh air to see at least one political leader in the country willing to publicly state that he's not going to suck up to Hamas and their far left allies.

I dig it, and I would probably be in the same boat about my "esteemed" (spit) alma mater if I had graduated even one year earlier.

But I didn't. I graduated in 2008, and it was *weird.* Extremely weird. The campus went from a hotbed of general lefty insanity that was also broadly tolerant to a leftist den of vipers with no tolerance for deviation in the slightest. As soon as Obama hit the scene in big way in late '07, everything hardened, virtually overnight. By the time he started winning primaries, it rapidly got much worse.

I went from a curiosity on campus - a non-communist who would talk about it and disagree with his professors - to feeling like a pariah, at least outside my friend group. It happened really fast. I don't know what it was about the arrival of Obama that made them all know that it was time to move, but it's like some undetectable signal went out.

Some say Iran, but personally my money is on Neville Singh, the secretive billionaire who is behind a whole lot of dangerous shit in America. (His wife is the co-founder of Code Pink) The most important thing to know about Neville Singh is that he gets much of his support from the Chinese Communist party.
If Neville is behind it, then it means that this wave of violence isn't actually about Israel or Jews at all. It's the CCP working to internally destabilize America in order to give them a freer hand in world affairs.

Like so very, very, many people, Matt Walsh spouted off about something without knowing what he was talking about.

Unlike so very, very, many people, Matt Walsh has a megaphone which means that his comments spread further than most people who don't know what they're talking about.

So he's allowed an opinion AND we're allowed to make the point that, maybe, he should shut the fuck up until he knows what he's talking about.

All Justices have to know that hypothetical was way, way out of line, even though MSNBC is still tickling themselves with it constantly.

Just watched a clip where Nicolle Wallace asked Andrew Weissmann about the Seal Team 6 hypothetical. She called him “the indispensable Andrew Weissmann.”

209 Axios-
Scoop: Biden changes walking routine to Marine One

President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine. Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides.

Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and journalists' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait.

Axios, yes, you better believe we are zeroing in on Matthew Colangelo leaving Main Justice to go to spearhead the anti-Trump Alvin Bragg prosecution team.

Also, try harder Axios. This is lame as a way of defending Colangelo and the Biden Administration: "Reality check: Former DOJ official Michael Zeldin told Axios it's not unusual for a federal prosecutor to leave for a gig at the Manhattan DA's office."

No, it's not unusual for an SDNY or EDNY prosecutor to go to the Manhattan DA's Office (or vice versa). What's unusual in the extreme is for someone to go from being the Acting #3 official at Main Justice in Washington, D.C. to being a line prosecutor in the Manhattan DA's Office.

I know of no prior examples of that happening. You've got nothing on that. Keep deceiving your readers.

Unsealed docs expose early collaboration between Archives, Biden White House in Trump prosecution

Just weeks after learning Joe Biden had improperly retained government documents, his administration began working with federal bureaucrats in spring and fall 2021 to increase pressure on Donald Trump for similar issues and eventually prompt a criminal prosecution of the 45th president, according to government memos newly unsealed by a federal judge

The correspondence, released this week by U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon in Florida, provide the the most extensive accounting so far of how the Biden White House worked with federal bureaucrats to escalate pressure on Trump to return documents to the National Archives even as it slow-walked similar issues involving its own boss.

249 Axios hardest hit:

Axios @axios 9h
EXCLUSIVE POLL: Americans are open to Trump's harshest immigration plans.

Half — including 42% of Democrats — say they'd support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, per a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.
-----------
Axios is out with eye-popping results from a poll it ran, which show the overall popularity of the hard-line immigration proposals Donald Trump has floated in his campaign, including mass deportations of illegal aliens and the end of birthright citizenship.

What it found was that 51 percent of Americans (including 42 percent of Democrats) say they would support mass deportations of illegal aliens. Thirty percent of Democrats and 46 percent of Republicans would end birthright citizenship. The poll shows that Americans are concerned about illegal immigration primarily because of increased crime and drug trafficking, but not far behind are concerns about costs to taxpayers, and potential threats to national security.

They have to. It happens in every single-party state. Devoid of external opposition, the only means of increasing power is within the Party and so they will ice each-other during their power struggles. This gets toned down - or rarely, even stops - only when there is unquestioning control from the Party's strongman.

When you have a real strongman like Khrushchev, you get fairly little infighting (though that stability is bought with blood). When you have a weak Party leader like Chernenko, you get a lot of it because there's lots of opportunity.

Insofar as we actually have a Party strongman right now, he (more likely she) is no Khrushchev.

Scoop: Biden changes walking routine to Marine One

President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine. Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides.

Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and journalists' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait.

I would like to add one note. The Big Cheat is still the "go to" plan for the institutional Left, as seen in a sudden uptick in new voter registrations in Texas, about 1.7 million.
Now the looming question is, exactly WHAT is the Republican Party's plan if 2024 is stolen like 2020? Do they even have a plan? Because I'm going to state this right now. If the feckless GOP pulls another quiet rabbit act and does nothing, like 2020, they are done as a party. And if that happens, curse them for all time! I already hate them but there's plenty of room on this train for everyone who is sick of their traitorous ways.
So warning to you, leaders and domors of the corporate whores party. We are watching and waiting.

325 The 10 year Treasury has been steadily rising in yield, headed toward the (generally thought) to be recessionary 4.8% level. For some reason todays inflation numbers calmed the market a little, and yields are backing off just a bit. Still, with all the inflationary spending Washington is doing, it sounds like we should all still be very worried about these next months ahead. At least Trump will soon be re-elected and maybe we can then get some progress.

"Arresting people for 'hate speech' is about as liberal as it gets and every conservative should oppose it. If protesters are being arrested for breaking actual laws, great— arrest all the lawbreakers. But arresting people for “antisemitism” is obviously a clear violation of the First Amendment. I can’t stand these protesters but you can’t arrest people simply for having 'hateful' views."

-- Matt Walsh

---------

One could reasonably think that the protestors were arrested for ideas and/or hate speech on the basis of Abbott's statement.

Looks to me like Abbott's statement was itself put out and played for political effect and some conservatives (Matt Walsh among them) took the bait, hook line and sinker.

The major initiative in the Lyndon Johnson presidency was the Vietnam War. By 1968, the United States had 548,000 troops in Vietnam and had already lost 30,000 Americans there. Johnson's approval ratings had dropped from 70 percent in mid-1965 to below 40 percent by 1967, and with it, his mastery of Congress. "I can't get out, I can't finish it with what I have got. So what the hell do I do?" he lamented to Lady Bird. Johnson never did figure out the answer to that question.

Ukraine welcomes delayed US aid but few say they expect Russia’s defeat
Experts say the $61bn package that was debated for months will replenish military stocks but won’t help Kyiv’s forces counterattack.

In part, "The aid can “improve the situation” on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line, said Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko, former deputy chief of the General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces.

But the aid looks like “a handout to show that we haven’t been forgotten, no more than that”, he told Al Jazeera.

“They’re always late, they hit the brakes, they’re afraid,” he said. “All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.”

Unappreciative rat ba*tards. It'll never be enough until the US commits to troops on the ground & every newer fighter plane we have to fight the 'war' they've refused to fight.

Maybe they don't really consider it their war? But, the U.S. is being used by the EU as it fears PDT Part II will cut off the fun funds.

  • Elizabeth Bathory eat your heart out. Or someone else's. Probably a peasant's. Three women have contracted HIV after receiving "vampire facials" at an unlicensed spa in New Mexico. (Ars Technica)
    The woman's case led investigators to VIP Spa, which was unlicensed, had no appointment scheduling system, and did not store client contact information. In an inspection in the fall of 2018, health investigators found shocking conditions: unwrapped syringes in drawers and counters, unlabeled tubes of blood sitting out on a kitchen counter, more unlabeled blood and medical injectables alongside food in a kitchen fridge, and disposable equipment-electric desiccator tips-that were reused. The facility also did not have an autoclave-a pressurized oven-for sterilizing equipment.
    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

47 One of the best dishes in New Mexico is Red Chile Colorado. When done properly, it consists of pork shoulder, lard, and a secret blend of red chilies which is then allowed to slow cook for about 12 hours. Depending on the restaurant, in addition to warm homemade flour tortillas, it is served either straight up or with chopped onions, lime, and cilantro.

52 A few years ago I had a Spanish Omelette in Aurora, Colorado. It consisted of 3 eggs, 80% fat hamburger browned in Lawry's package taco seasoning, onions, tomatoes, green bell pepper, black olives, and American cheese with hash browns, white or wheat toast on the side, Pace salsa, and sour cream on the side. Jalapenos were by request only for that extra authentic Mexican kick. It was the best and most Authentic Spanish omelette since I had been in Brainerd. MN a decade earlier.

57 47 One of the best dishes in New Mexico is Red Chile Colorado. When done properly, it consists of pork shoulder, lard, and a secret blend of red chilies which is then allowed to slow cook for about 12 hours. Depending on the restaurant, in addition to warm homemade flour tortillas, it is served either straight up or with chopped onions, lime, and cilantro. If you're a regular, you can get a vampire facial out back in the parking lot at a discount.

Nothing surprising in the article other than it includes pictures of some of the paid protesters. It underlines that all these protests over the last number of years are are nothing more than thinly disguised Marxist insurrections. Additionally, the Tidal organization is involved as a method of distributing the funds.

I've had two different experience with dermatologists in my life. Acne as a teen was annoying. First derm guy prescribed antibiotics. Every three months another visit, another script. Went on for a year or so, same shit. No difference. I finally gave up.

But when I got engaged and had a wedding date I saw derm guy number two. He got out this tank of liquid nitrogen I think, swabbed my face. Two weeks later skin was perfect. Acne gone, never returned.

184 You would think B'more would focus on getting the harbor open.

I note we are using a 50 year old crane designed for lifting a Soviet Sub (Glomar Explorer crane), but not asking the Dutch salvage forms that have much more modern cranes with over 5 times the lift capacity.

So the Feds are not focused on solving this problem.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at April 26, 2024 06:51 AM (u82oZ)

3 channels opened so far. Been following ALL the videos everyday, concerning the salvage operations. Lot more to clearing the channels than just "lifting" sections of the bridge. The entire roadway is on the harbor floor as well. It's actually progressing very quickly. But, of course, the arm chair engineers know better.

185 I don't know if Pixy is still doing this, but I have a Computer Question:

Intel has released Core Ultra I7 165H and Core Ultra I9 185H.

The I9 is 5.1GHz and the I7 is 5GHz (a whole whopping 0.1 GHz) that never really runs like that in a notebook due to cooling issues.

They have identical core counts and types, max turbo power 115W, but the I7 seems to have a huge advantage over the I9, and not just being $180 cheaper than the I9 - it has a lower Processor Base Power of 28W vs 45W, which I'm thinking is ideal for battery based platforms and anyone who is doing anything other than full power gaming.

What am I seeing that isn't right to justify these two negatives against the I9?

The cheaper chip is actually faster on those tests.

On other tests the 185H can be nearly 10% faster:

https://tinyurl.com/5xnmx7nz

Probably just because it's using more power; from the specs alone it would only be 2% faster.

The End Of The World As We Know It


Everything You Need To Know About EMPs From A NASA Expert


EMP is the end-of-the-world scenario that scares me the most. I have a friend who has written a book about WWIII opening with an EMP attack. The book is called Mongol Moon. The sequel A Dance of Devils just came out. Highly recommended. In a scenario like The Stand, most people die, but everything is still sitting around for the survivors to use and rebuild. In an EMP scenario, everybody is still here, but nothing works, and nothing is going to work. Scary stuff.


This Is An Outrage

Kentucky Mother Pleads For Help As She Is Threatened With CPS If She Does Not Allow Her Children’s School To Conduct “Unnecessary” Surgeries On Them

In her video, posted on March 18, McQueen explained that in her area of Kentucky, programs are offered for children who don’t have access to healthcare, especially dental work. Her children were sent home from school with a consent form indicating they would receive a free teeth cleaning as part of one of these programs. 

“They have a dentist come out in this big tour bus and they do the cleaning. And was like ok, whatever!” She then explained that she later received a piece of paper in the mail claiming that both of her children had “abnormalities” and she would need to consent for further treatment. McQueen said this took her by surprise, as the children’s family dentist told her that no such abnormalities existed.

“My children go to the dentist on a regular basis – every 6 months to a year. There are no cavities, no decay. I called the school and they said ‘we have no control over that, you will have to wait until the dentist calls you.”

McQueen said that a woman later called her and explained what was “wrong” with her children’s teeth. She then told the woman that it seemed odd that in a matter of 6 months, her children’s teeth were already decaying and that they would need root canals and further procedures. 

The woman told McQueen that they were sending her another consent form, and requested she provide them with her insurance information.

“She told me that once the procedures were being done, which would be done over a consecutive amount of days, that my children would have to miss school because they’ll have to be placed under that laughing gas, anesthesia. I was then told that I would not be allowed to be there. And they would call me whenever it was time to pick them up,” she said.

McQueen immediately became suspicious and refused, saying that she would call her children’s regular dentist instead. After an appointment, the dentist stated that there was nothing wrong with the children’s teeth requiring surgery.

“They both have baby teeth that they are losing but there were no signs of cavities or decay. [Our] dentist showed me the scans,” McQueen said.

No way they should be doing root canals on baby teeth. What for? They're only going to fall out anyway. This has the smell of an unscrupulous dentist getting rich off of doing unnecessary work on kids forced to see him.

Comrade!

Communists Betray Workers, Teachers Unions Betray Students, Civil Rights Organizations Betray Blacks

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union -- like most communist parties -- came to power as the great defender of workers. 

In reality, the Soviet Communist Party didn't give a hoot about Russian workers. The party was nothing more than a totalitarian organization that used workers to gain power -- and then suppressed the proletariat, just as it suppressed every other group. One of the first things the Communist Party did after attaining power was disband independent labor unions and prohibit workers' strikes. Yes, the "workers' party" banned strikes.
The one major exception was the Chinese Communist Party, which came to power as the great defender of peasants. And the CCP slaughtered about 60 million of them.
This has been the modus operandi of every left-wing group everywhere: Claim concern for some group, and use that group to fool people -- specifically, naive liberals, who share few values with the Left but have frequently served as useful idiots for the Left. Liberals do so to this day.

That's why they're called “useful idiots”

What a Miserable Difference Six Months Can Make

Dumpster fire. Train wreck. There are a variety of tried and true phrases to describe this period of painful Biden havoc in which we live. In reality, it's more like being caught in the midst of competing dumpster fires and train wrecks, and there's no place to hide. There also seems to be an endless supply of burning dumpsters and wrecking trains. 


It's been six months since Hamas did what Hamas does, only on a grander, more horrific scale. Catherine covered the reminder for us yesterday: 

As Catherine notes, much of the world has lost its bearings on this issue, and it's appalling, especially here in the United States. 

Last October and November, most prominent Democrats were staunchly sticking by our ally Israel. The raging antisemitism was really only coming from the members of the Squad, who had established it as their brand almost the moment they got into office. Sadly, that's no longer the case.

Career Advice

For many Gen Z students, skipping college for a trade may be their best bet


All of this makes sense, both professionally and financially. Young people can make good money more quickly without incurring the massive debt looming over today’s college grads. 

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 43 million Americans are carrying this burden, with the average borrower owing $37,000.
Meanwhile, after a few years of working, twenty-something tradespeople are buying homes and starting their own businesses. 

The median pay for new construction hires was $48,089 last year, compared to $39,520 for new hires in professional services. According to payroll-services provider ADP, pay for new hires in construction increased 5.1% last year, nearly double the increase for professional services. 
Trade jobs are also less subject to replacement by AI and other technologies. Some tech exec might make good money before student loan payments, but he’ll pay some kid a fortune to unclog his toilet.

That's the route Little is taking, and we couldn't be happier.

And that's all I have for you tonight. I'm under the weather, I'll probably go to bed after posting this, I've had a bad cold kicking my ass for the last 2 days.

Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by how to win a fight:

20 Willowed on the previous thread, but perhaps worthy of re-posting as the final tally on Australia's Great Emu War of 1932. (yes, this really happened)

I'm sure that Ben Had could clean up on the emus, as she has done on the feral hogs.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

She certainly couldn't do worse - one account read that"

"The machine-gunners' dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month."

Major Meredith's detachment reported that they had fired 12,630 rounds of ammunition, with no casualties on their side. The conservative estimate is that they killed a little north of 900 emus.

If I were tasked with killing emus wholesale, I'd be looking at shotgun slugs, loaded 2 to a round, linked with a foot of piano wire. Aim the neck, aim for the legs, don't matter. Once the critter is down, a head shot confirms the kill. And no meat spoiled. Emus be yummy.

Far more rational - the bean counters at Australia's MOD worked out that it took 9 rounds for every emu taken down. It's still astounding, given that these guys were WWI vets of heavy trench warfare, using state-of-the-art weapons, and were backed up by local farmers in an auxiliary capacity, many of those farmers also being WWI vets. PM Joseph Lyons was teased by the opposition with questions about whether there would be a campaign medal for the participants. Even more astounding is that the Lyons government held onto control in Parliament for years afterward.

93 Further Great Emu War context - there was an estimated population of 20,000 of them in 1932, and they were laying waste to Australia's wheat crops. The military effort succeeded in eliminating - math ain't my strong suit - roughly 5% of them, maybe?

They eventually solved the problem with barrier fencing and an emu bounty system, but as late as 1950 the government was issuing .303 ammunition on request to settlers in emu-intensive areas.

Here's an insane DU post about how FJB can end his inflation problem with voters-

Having written that I think he's handling the high prices wrong and should do an oval office address and talk to the American people about the price gouging by companies. Tell the consumers to talk to the store managers, the landlords. Suggest companies drop prices to pre-pandemic levels would drive people wanting to spend less at their stores and they would make tons of more money and new customers which would force other companies to follow.

Companies like McDonalds and Wendy's are making out like bandits, one of them drops prices to 2020 levels, they are going to take a huge chunk of the others customers and business. This can happen at the grocery stores and everywhere. That's the message Biden needs to sell. We saw votes on price gouging go nowhere because of republicans, take it to the people, Biden hammers that issue he gets a second term, have his agriculture department list prices/profits, set the competition, let their CEO's get a million e-mails and complaints, it's healthy competition to drop prices and gain customers.

Many of these critters could be released in National Parks and wilderness areas, and if they multiply too quickly, and start spreading into occupied land, a hunting season could be started to keep them in check.

While I suspect many companies are testing pricing highs, which could be called price gouging, it's also possible that higher prices anywhere in the supply chain will force those downstream to also raise prices.
Last burger I had at McD's, the pickle was thicker than the "beef" patty. To lower prices in the face of rising cost would have the patty be a brown piece of paper dipped in beef grease. Tastes like that already

160 "Mine is 'tittup'. Strippers are usually very good at tittuping, well, except the bored ones."

Mine is 'borborigmy'. It's onomatopoeia - that is, a word that mimics the sound of what it names (for example, 'bang' or 'screech'). In this case, the word describes, and sounds like, the gurgling sound your bowels make.

Another onomatopoeia is 'Blatz', which is the brand name of a beer, but also the sound you make if you drink too many of them.

185 Based on evidence from Australia, when running Bartertown you probably don't want to include a Thunderdome. Also, be wary of nomads in souped-up cars with the name of Max, and by all means don't allow anybody named Masterblaster to control any vital infrastructure.

Also, when you inevitably move on to controlling the only source of potable water, never hire anyone with the name Furiosa. avoid conspicuous displays with flaming guitars, and try to get your henchmen/thralls to be a little less kamikazi in their outlook. Those things lead to problems.

213 If the ICBMs begin launching and I'm within 50 miles of my home, I'm simply going to stand in a parking lot and hope to to be instantly incinerated instead of slowly dying of radiation sickness, or dehydration, or starvation.

For people of faith, I don't know what the fear of dying is all about. Probably because they are really without faith and think that living in this shithole is "Living Your Best Life".

214 It is not unusual to have a favorite style of shovel. Mine is the long handled 5" blade trenching shovel. The blade is extra heavy and it is set at a very nice angle to the heavy handle. It won't make a big hole, but it will make a nice narrow one which is what I need for planting trees and digging out rocks.

I am also very fond of my short handled round nose shovel too, it is very good for moving stuff around.

I bought a grape hoe last summer and I am still trying to come to terms with it. I think it is a better tool for sandy soil, I don't think it is appropriate for the heavy clay we have here.

I would like tol point out that I have spent far too much time moving dirt by hand.

Here in Arizona, a very popular tool is the so-called "hula hoe". It shaped like a stirrup, set at a 45 degree angle to the handle, with the "footrest" of the stirrup being a flat blade about an inch wide, sharpened on both sides, and fixed in the legs of the stirrup such that it can tilt forward and back a few degrees. Back and forth action on the handle will cause it pull its way down into the ground, ground conditions permitting. Does a real number on weeds, and not too strenuous to use.

260 Oh, I'm not a cat person. But we have wonderful new neighbours that moved here during the Covid insanity. Beautiful people. Homeschool. One lived through the killing of his dictator. And I'm amazed he'll go through that twice.

But the cats!! I am not a cat person. But the neighbours got cats for the kids. Sunroom out back where the cats were kept. They would go on vacation and take care of the cats

I felt bad for the cats, went over twice a day, petted them, played with them, food, water and cleaned the litter box.

I was their only entertainment....before they clawed through the window screens and became outdoor cats

261 AOP, have you ever owned/driven a Hillman/Sunbeam Imp? I'm thinking of buying one to fix up after I finish the two cars I'm nearly done with. I like rear-engined cars. A friend of mine had an Imp in the 70s and I remember liking it. They were imported to US kind of briefly, thought maybe they were more prevalent in Canada.
Posted by: Old 'n' Slow at April 26, 2024 12:12 AM (V5BDR)

I remember test-driving one as a yute, but did not buy. Forget why, probably because, even back then, it was darned near an orphan. One little car, that I used to own, and wish I still had? The Austin 1100. It was the "slightly bigger" brother to the Mini, with the same power plant, sporting a bit more displacement, but what was really cool was its "hydro-lastic" suspension, with the "springs" being pressurized air bladders containing fluid, with front and rear being interconnected. It had amazingly good ride and handling, and cornered like a slot car. Pinin Farina styling, so did not look like a Mini at all. They sold a version in the USA, and also Canada, called the Austin America, with a 1300 engine. They are very hard to find now.

276 Again, not a cat person. Neighbor's cats...But I love these cats.

The cats remember my kindness. One, Twilight, lost her kittens, the neighbors had to go away and I took care of her for days....just petting her feeling heartbroken.

Last week,she gave birth to five kittens. I took care of all of the cats through the weekend. I've never seen aniamls with small babies before. I let Twilight out several times a day. There was once or twice before she went in to nurse the kittens that she looked at me, tired, ginned up her strength,, went into the bed and let the kittens get milk.

The other cat earlier had two kittens who are grown now...they are the cutest things ever. Fluffy as hell. And one is called Trumpy so you know they are raised right.

I've gone into the neighbours backyard, called out and have had three cats run out to greet me. It was just weird. And since we live across the street, the record is 3 cats in the yard to greet me.

The oldest two were there to greet me today as I did grip hanging exercises in the garage. Starry stayed the entire 30 minutes. Beautiful cat. Made me happy.

Oh there are many stories. As most labs, she has had a voracious appetite. Jules made Christmas cookies when Bailey was young, left them to cool off on the counters, shut the pocket doors so the dog couldn't get in.

We had no idea the cat could get the door worked open and let Bailey in to devour most of 10 dozen cookies. And she got "sicker than a dog".

Also, when you inevitably move on to controlling the only source of potable water, never hire anyone with the name Furiosa. avoid conspicuous displays with flaming guitars, and try to get your henchmen/thralls to be a little less kamikazi in their outlook. Those things lead to problems.

Many above said it best: Corruption. I'm sure the dentist is performing work that doesn't need to be done and padding the bill, or just billing for no work at all (the kid's out cold and no parent around). Then someone in the school is getting a kickback from the dentist for all the 'referrals'.

George Carlin had this routine about his cat running into something and its reaction was "f***ing meow," followed by immediately regaining its composure and assuming the look of "I meant to do that."

And if you have a cat, you know the fundamental truth of that. Feline dignity and the need to look cool and in control. Dogs, God bless them, have the honesty to react with "What the Hell happened? God, that hurts!"

I love both species, and had the great experience of seeing them playing and having fun together. Our last cat but one, Bob, only met his canine sister, Betsy, after my mother passed away. (Mom, for some reason, always named her dogs Betsy, so Betsy was our inheritance) Betsy was older and skittish, while Bob was a spry youngster, and it was like he became her caretaker. When we got back from a trip, Bob would guide her into the house, allowing time to answer the call of nature.

I fully believe in animal emotions. After Twilight lost her kittens, several days later, our friends went on vacation for a while and I was there to take care of the two cats,

Animals and emotions. Even cats...yeah. I was there twice a day and stayed to pet and caress Twilight as much as she wanted. It was horrible. At one point, she was outside when I was walking our dog Ralphy. I held his head and talked to him so he had no idea what was going on and Twilight came up and rubbed against him.

Broke my heart.

But last week, when she was horribly pregnant and days after I thought she was going to give birth, girl would come across the street to see me, roll over to relieve pain I'm sure and want to be petted.

And so began the journey north from Bedford Falls to safety, to a nice place near Albany that Mama saw in Better Homes and Gardens Among us we found a new leader: the man who came from the sky, Uncle Harry, the Douglas SBD Dauntless Captain. And just as Uncle Billy had planned, we traveled far beyond the reach of men on machines. The gasoline, the precious unleaded was hidden in the vehicles. [fade to shot of young Zuzu] As for me, I grew to womanhood and in the fullness of time I became the leader, the Chief of the Great Northern Amway and Luthern Tribe. And George Bailey, the Road Warrior, my father? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my memories, him and Donna Reed, my mom, wearing that metallic mesh (Uncle Billy called it a bikini?) get-up and speeding through the night. Sometimes I think I hear the roar of a chopped down Studebaker in the night, and a voice saying "No, Donna, that's not the gearshift, but that, uh, golly,that works too."

314 I've had cats, pretty much all my life. Even in my Fortune 1000 years, I lived so much the Road Warrior Life, that it would've been terribly unfair to any dog, given my horrendous schedules.

Dogs NEED clockwork regularity, which I could never have given.

So, cats. A lifelong succession of them.

They're every bit as perceptive and giving as dogs. Albeit, less OVERTLY so.

Cats will burrow deep into the subtle side of your soul. But, borrow, they will.

And far more deeply IN, than you ever might imagine.

Hurts like HELL when they leave.

316 Frank Capra's The Road Warrior. work in process:

GEORGE: Aren't you, uh, you takin' a kind of unwise stand here, Potter I don't, I say, I don't think the people of Bedford Falls look too kindly on you in this dystopia you-uh-you helped to midwife.
POTTER: I've got the reprobates, the cretins, the Columbia Protestors, and the Rotary Club on my side, George. What have you got?
GEORGE: (Visibly shocked) Th-th- Rotary Club!?! How-how did you...
POTTER: Really bitchin' fried fish suppers. The Toastmasters will be joining us soon. I only had to promise them the chance to meet Zig Zigler. It's really Buck Owens. They won't know the difference.
GEORGE: You-you-you monster! After force feeding Uncle Billy lute fisk for hours! (Cut to UNCLE BILLY writhing in agony, foam spewing from his lips)
POTTER: What are you going to do, George? Appeal to that "Guardian Angel" of yours?
CLARENCE: (Face flushed with anger, removes and flings his halo) GWRRRR!
(The halo makes an arc around Potter who grabs it, saying)
BUCK OWENS: I'm a pickin'... (as the halo severs all his fingers) I...ain't...a....grinning.

317 Just pointing out that cats can be attuned to what's going on. In a lot of ways, they're kinda assholes, but can pick up on some human emotional cues (not nearly as well as dogs can).

319 Sorry, script problem: the Oddjob-like razor rimmed halo makes an arc around POTTER, and BUCK OWENS grabs it.

Also, the last lines from the scene were omitted:

ZUZU: Mommy, teacher says when an angel gives his halo a fling, bastards lose all sorts of things.

DONNA REED (Not going to call her Mary): That's right, dear, but your teacher is also one sick little bitch. George, wherever we go to after we leave this dystopia, we really need to give K-12 education some careful reconsideration.

GEORGE: One thing at a time, dear. Zuzu, only listen to what your-uh-teacher says about Molotov Cocktails and Punjee Sticks. Right now I'm a little busy waiting for Uncle Harry to zoom in at treetop level and do some strafing.

POTTER: (Eyes widening in shock) That would violate the Geneva Conventions!

GEORGE: ( Looking up as a faint whine of propellers can be heard) If I were you, I'd be more worried about strafer fire violating my duodenum. Muh-muh-my suggestion, Potter, see how fast that geriatric carcass of yours can run.

Posted by: SFGoth

So very true. My wife and I have both had the experience of our cats coming to our laps or resting on our chests when they know we're feeling down or really ill. And I'll never forget how from first to last, our family cat would escort our son when he went Trick-Or-Treating. They're subtle, and they seem to pick up on nuances.

There were some unexplainable elements to his decline. His wife's first thought was the vaxx, which he got and regretted, but his medical history also had some iffy omens. Still no one knows how he got his final, very rare affliction and why he couldn't recover when there was every reason he could have.

323 Frank Capra's The Road Warrior selected scenes:

TOE-CUTTER (a young James Dean in his debut role): Hey, old man!

GEORGE: I'm barely out of my thirties, punk! Where-uh-where did you learn math, boy? And why aren't you in the War?

TOE-CUTTER: You ask too many questions, Jimmy Stewart (off-camera prompt) You ask too many questions, George Bailey. Potter sent me to set you straight.

GEORGE: Knowing what "straight" means may be beyond your job description, Nancy Boy.

TOE-CUTTER: (Shocked and suddenly fearful) What did you hear? Sal Mineo says a lotta stupid things - I'm not...

GEORGE: You sure you-uh-you wouldn't be more at home in Bangkok boy?

TOE-CUTTER: (Livid with anger) You got this comin', old man. (He throws a punch weakly. GEORGE evades this easily and twists TOE-CUTTER's arm behind his back, then pulls the boy's leather jacket over his head.)

GEORGE: (With much effort, rearranges TOE-CUTTER in the Hot Rod the boy arrived in. The camera remains on GEORGE's face.) There we go, young'un, that's uh, the, uh stick shift (scream from TOE-CUTTER) Yeah, that's not where the manual says it should go, just grit your teeth. (Hot Rod roars away to a crash.)

(Camera slowly pans across the immensity of space, highlighting various astronomical wonders. Spectral voices emerge from the void of space)

ST. PETER: A man down on Earth needs our help.

Clarence: Grmmmrp?

ST. PETER: No, worse, he's discouraged. Discouraged because FDR is in his fifth term and America has begun to degenerate into a wasteland of roving bands of hot rodders, bikers, and predatory lenders. A woman has been born named Hillary who portends great evil....

CLARENCE: MMMMph!

ST. PETER: Sorry, I forgot you had learned about the prophecy.

CLARENCE: MMMMHBBBLLLL!

ST. PETER: Yes, and Biden. Best not to think of it now. I need you to go down there and help George Bailey. He's the only man who can lead the people of Bedford Falls to the Never-Never.

CLARENCE: (looks at St. Peter quizically)

ST. PETER: It's an Australian thing. It'll make sense later. Or not. Get down there and make things happen!

(CLARENCE flings his razor sharo halo, which wedges deeply into the Pearly Gates.)

ST. PETER: Be careful with that thing - you've already got John the Baptist in basket-case territory!

71 The kangaroo is par excellence the wild game of Australia, and coursing it gives active employment to its pursuers. The flesh of all the several species is good. The fore-quarters, indeed, of the forester, the largest of the family, an animal which frequently weighs 200 lbs., are somewhat inferior, and are usually given to the dogs; but from the hind-quarters some fine steaks may be cut. When cooked in the same manner, they are very little inferior to venison collops.

73 The following is the native mode of cooking a kangaroo steak:—It is placed in a scooped out stone, which is readily found in the streams, and pressed down by heavy stones on the top of it; the heat is applied beneath and round the first top stone; at the critical moment the stones are quickly removed, and the steak appears in its most savoury state.

150 My mom worked 1st shift, my dad 2nd. They handed me back & forth during the work week. I could often get my dad to take me to out around town & one place I loved go was a shop across the street that had caged chinchillas. The owners didn't object to my little visits & let me feed & pet the chinchillas. Little did I know they would soon become fashionable jackets and purses. 😬

One day, the shop was empty. No chinchillas, no anything. A few weeks later, a bakery opened in the shop. It was the best in the county for years.

158 On matters Australian, one is always moved to think of the meaningful prayer offered by Chaplain Bruce at the direction of Philosophy Department Chair Bruce at the University of Woolamaroo:

"Oh Lord, we beseech thee. Amen."
Followed by:
Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, we love you. Amen."
And concluding with:

Remember, we are talking about a country that declared war on emus. And lost.

On the plus side, it inspired a musical, an action-comedy film, and an upcoming movie written by John Cleese, Rob Schneider, Camilla Cleese, and Jim Jeffries that's in production now.

Favorite quote on this comes from Major Gwynydd Purves Wynne-Aubrey Meredith, of the Royal Australian Artillery, who led the assault on the emus:

"If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world ... They can face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks. They are like Zulus whom even dum-dum bullets could not stop."

"The machine-gunners' dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month."

Major Meredith's detachment reported that they had fired 2500 rounds of ammunition, with no casualties on their side. The conservative estimate is that they killed 50 emus.

New York Times: Supreme Court Conservatives Seem to Favor Acknowledging Some Form of Presidential Immunity, At Least for "Official Acts" Undertaken as Part of the President's "Core Powers"

This is by no means a guarantee for Trump. Amy Coney Barrett seems very sympathetic to Biden's handpicked Election Interference Agents.

And the Court will not be endorsing Trump's expansive, anything-the-president-does-is-immune-from-criminal-process theory.

But they do seem inclined to rule against the lower courts' almost-as-expansive theory that any president can be indicted for any reason post-presidency, and enjoys no immunity whatsoever.

The thing is, even if they just vote that way -- and say the lower courts erred in not determining which of Trump's acts may have been taken as part of his official duties -- then it's a win for Trump, because the case would be thrown back to the originating court with instructions for the judge to write a new opinion, which itself would be appealable. That would most likely punt the case into next year.

Here are some snippets of live updates from New York Times court "reporters." The "reporters" are Alan Feuer, Abbie VanSickle, and Charlie Savage. I won't be noting which updates were written by which "reporter."


Supreme Court Live Updates: Conservative Majority Seems Ready to Limit Election Case Against Trump

A ruling in the case, on whether the former president is immune from prosecution, would probably send it back to a lower court and could delay any trial until after the November election.


The Supreme Court's conservative majority seemed poised on Thursday to narrow the scope of the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump on charges that he plotted to subvert the 2020 election.

Such a ruling, endorsing at least part of Mr. Trump's argument that he is immune from prosecution, would most likely send the case back to the trial court to draw distinctions between official and private conduct. Those proceedings could make it hard to conduct the trial before the 2024 election.

...

D. John Sauer, Mr. Trump's lawyer, pressed an extreme version of the former president's argument. In answer to hypothetical questions, he said that presidential orders to murder political rivals or stage a coup could well be subject to immunity.
But several of the conservative justices seemed disinclined to consider those questions or the details of the accusations against Mr. Trump. Instead, they said the court should issue a ruling that applies to presidential power generally.

"We're writing a rule for the ages," Justice Neil M. Gorsuch said.

Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh also said the court should think about the larger implications of its decision. "This case has huge implications for the presidency, for the future of the presidency, for the future of the country."

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said that a ruling for Mr. Trump could enhance democratic values.

"A stable, democratic society requires that a candidate who loses an election, even a close one, even a hotly contested one, leave office peacefully," he said, adding that the prospect of criminal prosecution would make that less likely.

"Will that not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy?" he asked.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she had a different understanding. "A stable democratic society," she said, "needs the good faith of its public officials."

...

Multiple justices focused on whether motive matters. This is a recurring pressure point in the question of whether an official act can be treated as a crime: Does it matter whether a president had a corrupt purpose? Proponents of a strong presidency point out that if the answer is yes, that could allow courts to second-guess whether a president's exercise of his constitutional responsibilities was reasonable, a significant blurring of separation of powers.

A lot of the discussion has swirled around the question of whether, without immunity, presidents will be hounded by their rivals with malicious charges after leaving office.


...


The oral argument lasted nearly three hours, as the justices tangled with a lawyer for the former president and a Justice Department lawyer. A majority of the justices appeared skeptical of the idea of sweeping presidential immunity. However, several of them suggested an interest in drawing out what actions may be immune and what may not -- a move that could delay the former president's trial if the Supreme Court asks a lower court to revisit the issues.

Many of the justices seemed to be considering the idea that presidents should enjoy some form of protection against criminal prosecution. The devil however will be in the details: How should that protection extend?

...

Looking back, one of the main points of discussion turned on the question of which situation would be worse: a world in which presidents, shorn of any legal protections against prosecution, were ceaselessly pursued in the courts by their rivals in a never-ending cycle of political retribution, or allowing presidents to be unbounded by criminal law and permitted to do whatever they wanted with impunity.

...


Justice Barrett picks up the question of timing again. She suggests that if prosecutors want to take Trump quickly to trial, they could simply drop those parts of the indictment that seem to be his official acts as president and proceed with only those parts of the indictment that reflect Trump's private actions taken as a candidate for office. Dreeben is not wild about that idea.

No, because this is all political. It's not about justice, it's about saving Biden from an election he is doomed to lose.


...

Justice Barrett seems to signal that she is less likely to find that presidents have blanket immunity for their official acts. When Dreeben says the system needs to balance the effective functioning of the presidency and accountability for a former president under the rule of law, and the existing system does that pretty well or maybe needs a few ancillary rules but that is different from the "radical proposal" put forward by Trump's legal team, she says: "I agree."

What about Obama? Can he be prosecuted for the murder of Anwar al-Awaki?

You know, there's no statute of limitations for murder.

Should we try Obama next?


Kavanaugh asks Dreeben about Obama's drone strike that killed an American citizen suspected of terrorism, Anwar al-Awlaki, which Trump's lawyer invoked in his opening. Dreeben notes that the Office of Legal Counsel analyzed the question and found that the murder statute did not apply to presidents when they were acting under public authority, so authorizing the strike was lawful. This is the way the system can function, he said -- the Justice Department analyzes laws carefully and with established principles.

Oh sure, we should trust the corrupt, weaponized DOJ.

Say Trump wins. He installs Rudy Giuliani as AG.

Are Biden's hand-picked Election Interference Agents still on board with the claim that anything the DOJ does must be right and proper?

Note the contradiction here -- they're saying that we cannot have a blanket rule that anything a president does is presumptively legal. They just want a blanket rule that anything a DOJ does is presumptively legal.

So long as that DOJ is headed by a Democrat, of course.

16 I listened to some of the arguments and have read the opinions of a number of smart legal commentators and the consensus seems to be partial immunity and remand back to the lower court. Gorsuch seemed to be particularly good today.

Trump also had a good day in the hush money case. The prosecutions chief witness David Pecker, I mean c'mon, said Trump had no involvement in the payouts and it was he and Cohen who came up with the plan.

Trump is fortunate to have such inept enemies.

- Until Gore took a win-at-any-cost position in FLA, it was understood that a sore loser, or a sore winner, would be a disaster for the country.
- Until biden took a Stalin-esque position toward Trump, it was also understood that such a prosecution would cause great damage to the country.

106 Looking back at the CO insurrection decision.
All the legal experts said CO had it right.

None of them caught the justices question on how this doesn't result in a patchwork of inconsistent laws.
With various states denying candidates for any reason.

And this is the big thing that they all missed:
When the Justice asked how CO's position would prevent endless future litigation. Ending up again at their court.

And that was the question again today:
How do we rule that doesn't result in endless future litigation?
Especially if they grant limited immunity how does that not mean constant recrimination suits each arguing this act is like the act the Court said doesn't have immunity.
Even frivolous claims which will endlessly tie the president up in litigation.

Meaning, the only safe ruling is absolute immunity with the people deciding if it was criminal via impeachment and removal.

Especially knowing his most bitter enemies can now imprison him for life.
Or at the least bankrupt him defending endless frivolous criminal charges.
But worse, how about in office, frozen from making a gray area calls under that threat?
With the catch-22 that if he doesn't act, that could also be criminally charged?

They keep with the horror exaggeration of a president ordering the aasaination of a rival.
How about a president ordering the murder of Timothy McVeigh a week before Oklahoma City?
But national security prevents proof of why.
That's pure murder, right.
Or he passes the opportunity, McVeigh kills hundreds. And the IC leaks he refused to stop McVeigh.
Now he's criminally liable for those murders.

Remarkable.

The comment came after Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh cornered Dreeben by asking him about presidential immunity and why Obama was never prosecuted.

Dreeben said the drone strikes were totally fine because the "Office of Legal Counsel looked at this very carefully."

Terror-Sympathizers Attempt Takeover of UT Austin; Greg Abbott Sends in the Texas National Guard

The DOJ has explained to us that "parading" with the intent to disrupt any government function is a major felony.

So parading to shut down a government-funded school is a major crime for which people should be jailed without trial for years, I figure.

Rising tensions on school campuses across the country over the Israel-Hamas reached university campuses here in Texas.

Hundreds of students at the University of Texas at Austin walked out of class in support of Palestine. Many held up signs calling for a ceasefire or more help for Gaza.

Dozens of state troopers in riot gear asked the students to disperse. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said law enforcement officers arrested more than 20 people on the UT campus.

Protesters were heard chanting, "Release our students."

"Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses," Gov. Greg Abbott said via social media. "These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled."

Protesters are demanding the university system divest from companies that manufacture machinery used in war.

DPS said it responded to the UT campus in Austin Wednesday at the request of the University and at the direction of Gov. Abbott "to prevent any unlawful assembly and to support UT Police in maintaining the peace by arresting anyone engaging in any sort of criminal activity, including criminal trespass."

Now that I've vented -- Heather MacDonald makes a great point that we must be careful not to endorse the left's own crackdown on dissenting views by deploying the same tactics. Otherwise the left will just go further in its own authoritarianism -- and right now, they control almost every single institution, private or governmental.

In Florida, police almost immediately arrested communist/islamist gangsters for highway-blocking "protesters."

In their latest demonstration, pro-Palestine protesters in Miami termed their activity as an "economic blockade," through a longstanding state law that defines obstructing traffic without a permit.

A small group of individuals who organized a Tax Day protest now face second-degree misdemeanors.

People protesting the rising death toll in Gaza were pulled away and handcuffed by Miami police officers after blocking traffic on Biscayne Boulevard near Bayside in downtown Miami on Monday.

Most of them are in their twenties and reside in Miami. Their charges, according to police, are unrelated to the subject of their demonstration.

Their offenses revolve around blocking a roadway without proper authorization.

Specifically, they employed their bodies to block a crosswalk, using homemade devices known as "sleeping dragons" to interconnect protesters. These devices, typically made from painted PVC pieces, fasten several demonstrators together.

Someone pointed out that pro-terrorist "protesters" were given four hours to block traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge, as critical a traffic artery as there is.

In Florida, they were given fifteen minutes.

Of course, Florida cops are protecting the protesters by arresting them, because DeSantis signed a law giving motorists the right to run the f*ck over protesters if they're blocking the streets two years ago.

Abbott and DeSantis are playing a game of Quien es mas macho?

Who's winning?

We all are, my friends. We all are.

I can't find that sketch on YouTube, but enjoy this barely-related one.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Fourteen people were arrested during a Thursday morning protest calling for a cease-fire in Gaza outside the Indiana Governor’s Residence on Meridian Street.

Jewish Voice for Peace-Indiana, a group that says it’s made up of Indianapolis-based college students, staged the Seder IN Action rally around 7:30 a.m. at Tarkington Park to demand a cease-fire in Gaza and an end to U.S. aid to Israel.

About half an hour later, the protesters had moved onto Meridian Street south of the park and were blocking intersections, forcing Indianapolis police to close the southbound lanes between 49th and 46th streets.

But it is the oblivious character of the left that they will charge that you are shutting down their speech if you arrest them for rioting and threatening Jews.

Just like if a school, funded by the State, which used to be selections be put into the library receives word from the State, that they are not to place certain graphic books on the shelf, the left calls it "book burning".

There are a lot of vanity press authors who would like some space on those shelves, but the State or the school has no obligation to give them space. So selecting curriculum is now called "banning" when the left needs it.

90 The storming of FIT in NYC shows a bunch of people storming a lobby with some security trying to bar the doors. A few of the stormers are Hasidic Jews, those of whom don't believe Israel should exist because the Messiah hasn't returned. I wonder if they realize that the Koran doesn't differentiate between Zionist and non- Zionist Jews, saying they are all descendants of apes and pigs

There were worse riots at several other Ohio schools that went down normally. Kent had some pretty green National Guard fellows whose leaders marched them about aimlessly, got them kinda trapped by a fencing line and when trying to extricate themselves some few fired when the crowd chasing them surged to them. I think a couple of the ones that died weren't even involved in the riot.

Update: Abigail Anthony @abigailandwords Apr 24
UPDATE: VP Calhoun sent an email to all undergrads warning of arrests. An organizer of the protest called this "a partial bluff" and confirmed plans to continue with the encampment.

No one exercising their free speech rights on campus speaks on behalf of the University of New Hampshire. Nor does the university promote or encourage the speech of one individual or group over another. "

163 before I show myself out I must ask how your brainiacs are not aware of the enormous evidence that yahoo's, that is, Ben Gvir's gov't were not in on 10/7 from the beginning. How many simultaneous security failures occurred, how many hostages were killed by the idf -- and then this outrageous mass murder of 40k souls, mostly women and kids? And now we're arresting college kids and protesters. Israel is led by murderous Kahanists. They hate you gentiles by the way. Our greatest ally indeed. Wake up, morons.

Don't see how the failures of the Israelis to protect their people from them justifies the actions they took afterward.

Herczeg continued making alarming statements, such as the other agents were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God.”

Big protest stuff then was Apartheid in South Africa; Israel was an issue but it was Arafat and the PLO demanding their own state. Even as a dipshit 18 year old, i knew Arafat was the guy that invented the airplane hijacking. I couldn't understand why were even talking to him. Between him and the fact they were constantly bombing restaurants and buses, I had zero sympathy for the 'Palestinians' back then.

Nah, bro. The left is going to go further authoritarian no matter what. The left smells blood in the water precisely "because they they control almost every single institution, private or governmental." Every moment of appeasement and every moment of confrontation results in the same place: more riots and hollowing out of the nation.

You have no say or rights on how the 'company' is going to fulfill its contract with you, they are the experts and you are the novice. Also you have no say in how it invests its money in order to survive.

Tucker Carlson: Dropping Two Nukes to End WWII Was "Prima Facie Evil"

Tucker Carlson continues his headlong rush to the far left.

He also seems to call for denuclearization. Even better.

He showed off his newly woke philosophy for Joe Rogan, who is now certainly more rightwing than Tucker Carlson.

I love, by the way, that people on my side -- I'll just admit it, on the Right -- have spent the last 80 years defending dropping nuclear weapons on civilians. Like, are you joking? That's just, like, prima facie evil. If you can't -- 'Well, if we hadn't done that, then this, that, the other thing, that was actually a great savings' -- like, no. It's wrong to drop nuclear weapons on people, and if you find yourself arguing that it's a good thing to drop nuclear weapons on people, then you are evil. Like, it's not a tough one, right? It's not a hard call for me. So, with that in mind, like, why would you want nuclear weapons? It's like just a mindless, childish sort of intellectual exercise to justify, like, 'Oh no, it's really good because someone else could get' -- how about, no? How about spending all of your effort to prevent this from happening?

I've become less and less interested in what this conspiracy-minded wreck thinks. He's been honeydicked by Glenn Greenwald.

A lot of people support Tucker Carlson for opposing the GOP Establishment. That's great. But you know who else opposes the GOP Establishment? The far left.

And more and more of Tucker Carlson's positions are from the hard left. Nevermind his conspiratorial fascination with UFOs, which I thought was all a ratings stunt but no, he seems to really Believe.
By the end of Tucker's "evolution," he'll be telling us that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has "some serious ideas, which should be taken seriously."

I oppose the American Deep State. That means I now have to believe in... Vladimir Putin?!?

On Tucker Carlson, and some others of the right, I'm reminded of G.K. Chesterton's aphorism: "When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything." I feel like a lot of people -- and I include myself in this -- long believed in (this is embarrassing) American institutions like the FBI, CIA, judiciary, and even the corporate class. (Oh Lord...)

Now we no longer believe in those things. But, as Chesterton observed, the end of belief in some things often does not result in skepticism for everything -- it often results in the former believer seeking to believe in anything else. And for some (understandably) disappointed former righties, it results in finding new beliefs in the core dogmas of the far left.

People have a need to believe, for belief makes order of chaos, and often those who abandon beliefs fly quickly into the arms of a fresh belief system. The old beliefs may have been rejected, but the need to believe remains.

Rather than waking up and deciding to no longer believe in stupid nonsense, some, like Tucker Carlson, are on a spiritual quest to find new stupid nonsense to believe in.

Below, Tucker Carlson insists he has knowledge that the intelligence agencies are blackmailing congressmen -- but also says he can't say who's confessed to being blackmailed.

I would find this more compelling if he didn't make this announcement in the same rant in which he decries the cover-up of "UAPs" -- Unidentified Aerial Pheonomenon, which is the new term for "UFOs" so you can avoid saying "UFOs."

Starting from October 8th, Tucker Carlson has consistently attacked Israel and those who supported Israel's right to self defense. I wouldn't be that bothered by that, except for the blatantly dishonest way he presents his arguments, as "I'm just asking questions" or "I just think some people ought to be concerned about America's security."

Weird how he keeps contrasting America's security with Israel's, as if the two are in deep conflict.

The "I'm just asking questions" is dishonest. What he should say, if he were an honest man, is "I've come to be deeply skeptical of Israel, and frankly, believe that their agents are behind Jeffrey Epstein and are blackmailing half of the US government."

Because that is what he's always hinting about when he talks about the corruption of the Regime. He's hinting that it's Israel behind most of it.

If he at least had the courage and integrity to state his suspicions out loud, I'd be less critical.

Because I do think Israel can and should be scrutinized. I don't like the right's reflex to say "Ah-ha, lefties, you're the real racists!," and conflate anti-Israel feelings with anti-semitism. All countries, including our own, and including Israel, are capable of acting amorally and even immorally in their own believed self-interest. No one should be blind to the deep amorality of any country, especially its institutionally-sociopathic "intelligence" bureaucracy.

I mean -- look what we've come to learn about our "best friend," the UK, these past few years.

And while I don't know that Jeffrey Epstein was an agent being run by Israel, I'm completely willing to believe it. It's not out of the question, certainly.

And certainly, it would explain a few things.

But Tucker Carlson makes me deeply mistrustful, because while it seems blatantly obvious to me that the gravamen of all his comments on Israel is his belief that Israel is secretly pulling the strings in America, he won't just say so.

He just keeps saying "I'm just asking questions."

An audience has the right to be told where you're trying to lead them.


And when someone hides something, I conclude they have reason to hide it. That is, when someone acts as if their beliefs are shameful, I believe that person is probably right about those beliefs being shameful.

Tucker Carlson seems to have some reason to hide his new improved beliefs -- and I think he's got enough self-awareness to know that spreading antisemitic "Jews control everything" conspiracy theories is slightly shameful.

I know, I know -- he's just asking questions. He doesn't have any suggested answers in mind. His mind is just a blank page.

If he has evidence to support his new suspicions, then he should present it. Just repeatedly muttering about all the congressmen who tell him this in secret isn't cutting it.

More: What is "Project Aqua"? The more you know.

There is often a very short step between "prophet" and "maniac."

However, as we've seen, fighting war nicely is really not fighting it at all. It just extends the fight, accomplishes nothing, and creates an incentive structure to continue wars forever.

25 I heard that Tucker clip about how nuking Japan was “evil”… heard it a few days ago (some radio talk guy played the clip). I think it’s clear that Carlson is losing his way…. Everyone needs some kind of tether to a community… to keep us grounded and to make sure we don’t start drinking our own bath water…. Now on the X platform he has no checks; Fox constrained him too much. He can’t find the sweet spot. Too bad…. Fox firing him did neutralize him, as they desired. Or rather he’s neutralizing himself….. for me his softball interview of Putin kinda started the downward spiral…. Then emphasizing civilian casualties in Gaza post 10/7 was the next warning he was losing perspective. It’s too bad

I shouldn’t have to even say this…. But his evil claim is just stupid. Pretty much any moral calculus would justify the dropping of the bomb. Japan was the aggressor country AND it demonstrably saved many human lives….

The more I learn about the bomb the more I'm cnvinced they had to use it...the ovt dedicated a whole lot of resources to it. They would look awfully stupid had they done that and not used it.

It was more a necessity from that view, as well as a lesson to the assholes out there, and a big ol' dick swing than needed to stop Japan, which had it's ass totally kicked and was going to get beat up further with conventional weapons. Germany self-destructed on it's own, and had the scientists, but not the apparatus.

So it's not cut and dry. I used to think it was certainly needed, because of whatever history books told me...

For about a year before Hiroshima the US had been mass firebombing every Japanese city of any size with the exceptions of a few reserved for A Bombs. The devastation was far larger than the A-bombs did and was repeated. If you care about civilian deaths, you have to include the fire bombing. A Bombs did little new aside from being all in one package.

Hiroshima contained significant war industry and military importance.

We didn't "drop a bomb on civilians". We bombed a city that was militarily important.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were legitimate targets. It's insane to claim that this was evil.

I think this argument may be a roundabout way to say that Israel is evil because "civilians" get hit by attacks.

It also encourages the war crimes that Hamas continues to commit by hiding among said "civilians."

You can make a case that most American CinCs since FDR should have been arrested for and charged for dereliction of duty in getting American soldiers intentionally killed to minimize the loss of enemy civilians.

Could you imagine in WWII a fortified German city where the bombers and artillery was NOT called out to soften them up/force them to surrender before sending the grunts in because there were also German civilians in the city? And yet this has been the norm since WWII.

93 War is very much about degrading the opposition's will to fight. Sending countless men into a meat grinder in a Zerg rush often doesn't work because there's always a chance the other side will put up a better defense and win.

Demonstrating just how much destruction you can rain down from on high has a wonderful ability to focus one's mind on what's really important in this world.

How many Japanese, upon witnessing that awful weapon, threw down their weapons and just wept because they *KNEW* they could not fight that?

117 The more I learn about the bomb the more I'm cnvinced they had to use it...the ovt dedicated a whole lot of resources to it. They would look awfully stupid had they done that and not used it.

Posted by: Dr.Rev. Senator Your Highness E Buzz Miller, Esq PhD MA MS at April 25, 2024 04:18 PM (et1vG)

The resources for the bomb were trivial, all things considered.

The real problem was that we were at an impasse. Japan's economy was in ruins, and the population was going to start starving since the Navy was cutting off nearly all shipping. The Japanese Army leadership was willing to die virtually to a man anyway, and the population would too if they acted anything like Japanese civilians on other islands we had taken. Hirohito was constrained by tradition to let the government work without his direct involvement.

The A-Bombs broke the stalemate, convincing Hirohito to give orders and the Military to accept them rather than ignore them. There have been claims that something else might have done the same thing but the actual history says different. They could have opened channels up while Iwo and Okinawa were being fought over, the situation in the war was just as hopeless.

I have no doubt Epstein was working with various intel agencies including the CIA. He was allowed to operate with impunity on US soil for years, I don't think there's a chance in hell the CIA would allow foreign intel agencies to operate here without have their claws in the action.

I don’t think you are human if children being killed and maim doesn’t lay heavy on your heart. You can understand nuclear weapons are in all but the most dire of circumstances something you would want to avoid. At the same time, you can understand war is by its nature ugly. You can understand that not everyone is going to fight fairly and adhere to the ideal civilians are not going to be involved. You understand that if you are going to enter something as terrible as war, you should do so with the absolute goal of winning it. If you are going to go through hell, have it matter in the end and mattering can mean a deterrent going forward. You can understand, even with the goal of winning, nuclear weapons should be the last option, but an option when there is nothing else.

160 'Tucker Carlson continues his headlong rush to the far left.'

this is no longer a Far Left position, the Far Left is fine with it since it gives them the basis for their power and something to beat the conservatives with. It is, however, an exhausted position since it seems to have justified so much since them. There was a school of thought, up until WWI when it was suddenly the most treasonous point of view ever (like a lot of other ones) that "In winning the war against Spain and taking her colonies, we have become Spain" and in the logic of controlling overseas colonies, we had in many ways become Spain.

it may be we had no choice, and all of my uncles survived WWII in the Navy because of the bombings, but it also created a situation where the US became very similar to an imperial power, much in the way that the Romans winning the Third Punic war may have made the creation of the Imperial Roman state inevitable.

Japanese plans were to have the kamikaze planes and Tokko suicide craft ignore warships and go for the landing ships exclusively.

And even if all the troops were bulletproof the things they would have to do to give the Japanese to give up would form wounds in the psyche that would never heal. We saw that already on pretty much every island fight we had.

What happened? If the video was left behind at Fox - who then buried it - is there a reason why new copies weren't made available to him? Why did Tucker seemingly never bring it up again?

219 There is no faster way to unmask a fallacious argument and find a contra intellectual fraud than to discuss Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's even more revealing that Tucker clearly knows the history of our island hopping campaign in WW II, the human costs, complete Japanese brutality, and the ultimately the potential costs of invading the Japanese mainland.

War is Hell. But Tucker wouldn't know that because he never fought in one and gets his information from nutcases like COL. MacGregor. But this is simple math. Do you want to see more Americans and allies die, or more Japanese who told us outright they would not only never surrender, but take as many of us with them as they could. In war, that's an easy choice. There are largely few moral arguments to be made about more and even less for aggressors who not only started it, but are true believers in insidious, complete and unrelenting murder to win. Tucker can kiss my ass and of my relative who fought in the South Pacific were alive, they would throat punch him.

Mao had a fairly powerful faction and a decent base after the Long March in the hills inland in north China. But the real advantage came after the war when Russia took Manchuria and the Communists moved there. This made it impossible for Chiang to move against their army while they built up.

I think it was simply that Mao decided to largely sit out the war in the north and let the Japs slaughter the KMT troops while the ChiComs built up for the inevitable civil war against Chiang, doing most of the work for him. If memory serves, the US had to basically threaten to cut off the ChiComs from US supplies in order to get them off their asses to attack the Japs.

243 You know who else is waking up?
WaPo: George Will wakes up to see his monster. Stoking the passion that is their excuse for pandering - the nihilism of a febrile minority in their party - a majority of House Republicans - voted last Saturday to endanger civilization. Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious “establishment”, they voted to assure Vladimir Putin’s attempt to erase a European nation...Tuesday’s Senate ratification of Ukrainian aid proves that Dwight Eisenhower’s baton of Republican internationalism was passed, via Ronald Reagan, to Mitch McConnell."

I've always held George Will in low esteem, but he's a talented wordsmith nevertheless. "J.D. Vance, an itinerant Neville Chamberlain visiting green rooms". I am so stealing that.

Right when our last living WW2 vets go to their reward, the GOPigs spit in these heroes' freedom-fighting faces.

Will, like Buckley before him, fancies himself a conservative intellectual, though he was always careful to maintain a sanitary distance from the culture warriors.

Millions of them. Hundreds of thousands of us. Not even a consideration. We had the edge. We used it. Everyone in the event benefitted from the decision.

The only argument to be made against it was that we let the genie out of the bottle, that edge didn't last, the technology threatens the whole globe now, and the people in charge on our side are out of their fucking heads.

But that was all unknowable at the time. Truman made the right call.

That isn't quite the real equation. If the allies invade, not only do more of them die, but also far, far more Japanese fighters and civilians die. From war and starvation.

You can make the same decision leaving out all consideration of Allied deaths. An invasion would likely have virtually exterminated the Japanese nation. They expected it to themselves.

Firebombs and starvation. The Navy argued for their total blockade of Japan. Truman and/or his observers (and certainly MacArthur) saw the danger of that plan. It would certainly give the USSR plenty of time to consolidate its hold on northern China, possibly the entire Korean peninsula, and take China by means of Mao's army.

It's not like Dresden had a "smart fire bomb" that would just take out the soldiers. And no, you can't celebrate Dresden, but you can understand it as a casualty of war.

The Germans and the Japanese put us in a "State of War", and they suffered reprisals for their overreach.

We would have lost soooo many men going down the shooting gallery of Tokyo Bay. I had a college instructor who was on one of the those ships scheduled to go through the killzone the Japanese had made Tokyo Bay

330 Nearly always overlooked is that Japan, even at the time it surrendered, remained in control of most of southeast Asia, as well as a large part of China, and all of Korea. Those civilian populations would have experienced more suffering and death the longer the war persisted, as well as Japan's own military and civilian casualties, and --- most important from America's perspective --- Allied military casualties, especially Americans from an invasion of Japan that was expected to result in hundreds of thousands of American dead.

335 @233 I think it was simply that Mao decided to largely sit out the war in the north

--------

Mao spent most of the war attacking Nationalist troops, and largely ignoring the IJA. IIRC, eventually Chiang got sick of Mao's double-dealing, and revoked the cease-fire with the Communists. But the war meant he couldn't take any serious action.

The Soviets occupied Manchuria right before the end of the war, handed it over to Mao, and used the fact that it was neighboring the USSR to feed him supplies.

There's more to it, and it's a complicated subject. But that's the major stuff.

I think he does. After he caught flack for questioning Israel's right to defend itself on October 8th or 9th, he then claimed all he meant to do was be one guy standing up for America's self-interest.

Then over the proceeding months he interviewed one guy after another calling Israel evil. He just had on a Palestinian Christian to complain that Christians are badly treated in Israel. Tucker Carlson "forgot" to mention the areas he was talking about where governed by the Palestinians.

So he attempted to tell Christians that evil Jews were tricking him.

========

No, I wouldn't. I'd recommend mass death until the enemy decides to stop fighting a war it started because it's imperialistic ambitions were far greater than its capabilities which led it to attack a non-combatant nation that vastly overpowered it in industrial might in the hopes that it would be able to get more oil afterwards.

Seriously. In a world where weapons manufacture is done in civilian populations, once the war reaches those limits, civilians are going to die. A lot of them. Since the governments are supposedly instituted for the people's protection, it's up to the governments to decide when they can't go any further and try to end things. Since the Japanese government wasn't trying to end things, well, civilians around military targets are fair game.

War sucks. They shouldn't be fought. But when they are fought, they should be fought to win.

368 I chalk Tucker's recent weirdness up to the fact that he was basically a puppet of the increasingly leftwing Fox News management for the last number of years, and there are certainly things that are not allowed to be said on-air at Fox. Now being free from that, he feels like he can say what the fuck ever has been ruminating in his head all this time. It feels like just a brain dump rather than a careful examination of one's own beliefs and then saying some things out loud, leaving some unsaid.

I support Israel's right to self-defense purely on the Fuck Around and Find Out principle, and on the grounds that Hamas is a collection of prehistoric savages that the world wouldn't miss if they were all vaporized.

However, it's hard to miss the knee-jerk reaction of nearly everyone on the right to accuse anyone who raises even a slight criticism of Israel of antisemitism, which is bug-fuck stupid, lazy, and annoying. It's also hard not to notice that for being a nation with the population of Georgia (the state), that they have a very outsized influence on our foreign policy and even our internal politics. I think that's something worth exploring.

I’d swear I saw his show lots of times before he left Fox where he really slammed all the Covid mania and gave a platform to Scott Atlas and Robert Malone…. Maybe he was an early Karen then thought better of it?


ok but to this day he has not apologized for pushing PDJT to lock us down. but I saw him with my own eyes gleefully stating he convinced the President to do the lockdown.

Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at April 25, 2024 05:05 PM (63Dwl)

402 The decisive moral argument surrounding the atomic bombings of Japan are this: the Japanese were killing 100,000 innocent Asians in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Burma, etc., in mid-to-late 1945. Any other manner of ending the war would have prolonged it and resulted in far more innocent Asians dying than Japanese, "innocent" or not. There is no other feasible way to end the war in August 1945 without the shock effect of atomic weapons. Any other approach - blockade, invasion, negotiations - would have taken far more time (certainly greater than 2 weeks, which is the time required for the number of other Asian deaths to equal the deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki) and resulted in far more deaths, including Japanese.

The dirty little secret of Carlson and all those who decry the atomic bombings as immoral irrespective of any other consideration, is that they would have given the Japanese militarists what they wanted - to remain in power at any cost. With that, the US would have faced the horror of fighting another even worse war with an even more twisted and insane Japanese leadership 20 years later, against a by-then nuclear armed Japan.

I support Israel's right to self-defense purely on the Fuck Around and Find Out principle, and on the grounds that Hamas is a collection of prehistoric savages that the world wouldn't miss if they were all vaporized.

However, it's hard to miss the knee-jerk reaction of nearly everyone on the right to accuse anyone who raises even a slight criticism of Israel of antisemitism, which is bug-fuck stupid, lazy, and annoying. It's also hard not to notice that for being a nation with the population of Georgia (the state), that they have a very outsized influence on our foreign policy and even our internal politics.

Think of a reverse situation where Japan can hit the US at will with bombs. All those cute Rosie the Riveter gals in the pictures helping build military aircraft are valid military targets in a total war scenario.

That's why even in Ukraine for a while there were understood rules in place. Ever wonder why there was no fighting in Russia, in the north border and the area north of Kharkov? Because there was an understood agreement that neither side would do serious operations there. And for 2 years outside of some shelling and some terrorist actions by Ukraine, there still hasn't been. For quite a while Russia avoided hitting areas where NATO was doing intelligence and planning inside Ukraine. In the last few months that agreement has been dropped, and the French took some licks that explain why they are yapping about Troops.

And when you live under this veil it becomes perfunctory to find explanations that "fit". And unfortunately many things fit because that's what happens when you are engulfed in lies. You don't know what the lies are obscuring.

So even these two numbskulls get a small pass from me, as do retroactively those who "questioned" 9/11 because they had a weird feeling that Bush and our government couldn't be trusted. They were right to ask questions and I was wrong to want to shut them up with Facts.

There was a large percentage of Americans at the time, who supported outright genocide of the Japanese, and only for what they did at Pearl Harbor. And even the Doolittle raid of Tokyo, very early in the war, had broad support. They were both war crimes, and it has nothing to do with weariness of war.

I've been listening to a lot of stories from Japanese survivors of the war, both military and civilian. Many didn't want to fight to the end, but were forced out of fear or obligation. When you're in a unit and told to "volunteer" for kamikaze duty, or else you and your family back home will suffer...well, look at that, people "volunteer". Civilians get told Americans will shoot them on site, so they need to help the Japanese troops and resist...they don't want to, and are terrified, but when threatened at gunpoint by their own troops...they comply.

Sure, though...many officers and senior leaders WERE gung-ho Bushido die hards, but the vast majority were not. It only takes a few leaders, and societal pressure, to make the society as a whole comply, though.

Agreed. If you don't plan to do everything you can to win you shouldn't get the right to send one grunt to his death.

I do not care how icky winning a war makes a politician feel. If you don't want to fight to win you can either:

Resign
Make the case to the public for not going to war

The in between state of "fighting just enough so the voters don't vote me out and not enough to draw the ire of the NGOs" is absurd.

Posted by: jim

Saipan was the first time there were significant civilians. Near the end the GI's were shocked at the women and children and civilians killing themselves and each other.

Okinawa had some civilians surrender and survive. Others did the same as Saipan.

For Japan the military was planning for civilians to become suicide bombers. They might have stopped doing it sometime if we had invaded, but evidence to the contrary was all the other places.

Pretty sure you're thinking Saipan. The one with "Banzai Cliff".

Okinawa is actually the first Japanese island which had a decent-sized survival rate for the civilians. But it's because most of the population weren't ethnically Japanese (Ainu?), and didn't have the suicidal motivations the Japs had. The Japs treated them like shit for decades.

But there were still enough Japs on Okinawa to scare the shit out of the US when we considered the upcoming casualties for invading the home islands.

Once you lose sight of the need to compel the other side's entire population to submit, you can end up where Tucker is, claiming that any use of force against anyone other than combatants is immoral. One of the reasons I've become an isolationist is that we no longer understand war, so we can no longer win them. No point in supporting that.

Because the Japanese high command refused to surrender after the first one. They firmly believed that Americans were weak and would not have the guts to invade the home islands which would have generated over a million American casualties. They doubled down after the invasion of Okinawa and really thought they could fight us to a draw and have a peace they could live with.


A big part of the issue was the unconditional surrender thing. We told them that their entire government was going to be replaced and the emperor along with that.

This is like how I realized that I *was* in some sense more authoritarian than a lefty.

They believe the final state is for everybody to be autonomous, thus there is no need for authority. They may believe that the Leaders have to run me through a ringer to get me fit to enter this world (in Marx's head), but ultimately it's for NO AUTHORITY.

Well, the end sounds great, but you're kind of making a point that authority is pragmatically necessary in purging mankind of dependence on authority.

My acceptance that 1) authorities may always exist, 2) they should observe your civil rights--but you still have to defer to them, in some form, is what lefties consider "authoritarianism".

That the world is not perfect and authority plays a role in that imperfect world...IS "authoritarianism" to the people that have convinced themselves that they need to seize control to save us from the pragmatic view that we may always need authority for law and order.

On Nuking Japan - Tucker is just wrong. Its easy to look back 80 years and think "I could have won it differently". That is just garbage. Think of the harm an additional 1million-1.5million dead US servicemen would have inflicted on our nation. Invading Japan without nuclear weapons would have been ruinous.

I am disgusted that the incident shows that the US is not able to sustain a war for our potential survival due to insufficient weapons and munitions and industry yet diplomatically works toward one..or two...or three wars. People should be hung for this situation, it is treason.

Your argument is Hume, but IIRC Hume is a touch more complex than what you lay out. Hume also calls for social contract and not merely submission.

490 Tucker is losing it, spinning from reality. He's been all over in his career and, at 54, is completely untethered. He lacks definition & a solid conviction of anything and he's making poor choices.

Business Insider, 10/10/2017, 'Harvey Weinstein has donated over $1 million to Democrats since 2000 – here are some of the biggest names. (Very helpful chart, not linked here.)

In part, "Since the 2000 election cycle, Weinstein has donated nearly $1 million in his own name in addition to collecting and providing roughly $1.5 million as a part of "bundled" donations, which the Center for Responsive Politics defines as contributions provided by "people with friends in high places who, after bumping against personal contribution limits, turn to those friends, associates, and, well, anyone who's willing to give, and deliver the checks to the candidate."

Tucker, who worked for Weinstein decades ago, goes on Rogan's show & talks about him. Newsweek, 'Tucker Carlson Recalls Working for Harvey Weinstein—'He Was a Pig' published Apr 22, 2024. Now today we have: NBC News, 'Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned by New York appeals court'

496 I liked Tucker. It's a shame he lost his gig at Fox -- it was the only thing consistently worth watching. And I honestly haven't listened to his podcast. Since I'm on the computer 9 hours a day, going back to it after dinner seems an atrocious waste of time. But I did see the blurb on Rogan, where he proclaimed use of nukes to end WWII an inhuman thing. I don't know that it's a leftist slant to his thinking, or that it's just a stupidly over-simplistic take -- akin to an AI bot saying, "Let the world burn; I'm not going to say 'ni**er' in order to defuse the bomb, because that's a bad word." I always thought Carlson to be more nuanced than that.

497 The argument FOR nuking two cities in Japan was "If we don't do this, tens of thousands more US soldiers will die....."

We'll never know that, of course.

But that's IDENTICAL to the "If we don't save Ukraine, Putin will march on (pick your city) Paris, London, Utrecht, New York, Pittsburgh......"

See how those arguments work?

The Powers-That-Be have always, always, always, used BoogeyMan. Scare you sh*tless tactics. Why? Because it works, as it did in WWII, so in Iraq, then Covid 19, now Ukraine.

Dropping a nuke onto the center of a city is by definition targeting civilians.

I don't see myself moral-equivalencing here. If one is going to say "x is wrong" I think that statement should be equally applicable to anyone engaging in "x." I haven't excused anything the Japanese did. But all of you people are doing the exact same thing you sneer at liberals for doing, when they say, "it's not wrong when WE do it." But you're too blind to see it.

So if bombing entire cities is OK, is there a line in war we should not cross? Should we have rules? I'm not talking about what the enemy does. Should we, who consider ourselves the "good guys," have some kind of boundary? Or, since they threw the first punch, is it anything goes?

Posted by: Tinfoil Dispenser at April 25, 2024 06:04 PM (NAuoi)

501 The cities chosen for the dropping of bombs was considered and for the military significance of the target. There is no workable way to conduct war AND strike only the military.

Civilians are inevitably killed in any war.

War is not a game - but if your engaged in it - it must be won.

We were attacked - Britain was attacked. War, at that time, was not our decision, but was forced on us.

Discussing how we ended the war is preferable from the alternatives. I wonder how horrific the Rape of Los Angeles would have been at the hands of a victorious Japanese Empire.

All this second guessing is disgusting.

You mean Chatsworth Osgood the third?

Yeah, Tucker is definitely not one to trust. His kids are registered Democrats. I always feel like he's playing a part and doesn't believe in anything. The fact that he can't or won't make a moral distinction between the Israeli-Hamas fight and the Ukraine-Russia fight is telling.
When Tucker interviewed Chris Cuomo he didn't press Cuomo on laughing it up with his brother while 15,000 people were killed by the Wuhan flu.

And very few people get worked up over the firebombing of Dresden, which killed a similar numbers of people. But required a much greater military effort to do so. But dead white people, so who cares?
No, we know the men who created and dropped the bomb had serious moral questions, but they were not the ones who started the war. They ended the war as fast as they good. And then rebuilt what they destroyed.

505 Just because something is evil (nuking Japan) doesn't mean it was not the appropriate thing to do. He isn't wrong calling it evil. It was as evil as the rest of the war.

I'm a fan of Tucker specifically because he questions everything. If his opinion, or shared words, are zany, so what? No different than bloggers that I follow

509 The Tucker Carlson interview with Joe was the most insulting that I have seen. I went in expecting him to be a truth teller about his firing, about the things he learned and the goals he wants to achieve, but he came off as a bigger loon than von Dannican.

Meanwhile, go back a year or two, and the podcast with Bill Maher made me have a LOT of respect for bill. Bill is Wrong, but he had a humanity to him, and that made me respect him.

Tucker's absolutism was just off putting. "I know things but I can't tell you" makes me hate him. It reminded me of the podcast with the guy from blink 182. "I have contacts and UFO'S are real, but I can't tell you, about the things that I won't actually say."

As an aside.

I'm not religious, I was raised Catholicish, and I am well versed in the general study of catholic doctrin, and of course having re-read the bible a few times in terms of reference.

There is a counter argument to the in the absense of faith you will follow anything sort of statement. I'm on the opposite sided. In the face of ANT-FAITH, I have found myself turning closer to it again.

510 I think Tucker treats his audience with contempt. He thinks they are just ignorant enough to accept, unquestioning, the nonsense he trotted out in Moscow or in his 'interviews' with Candace Owens or the Pally priest.
It's about time American conservatism got over it's weird infatuation with him and other talking heads.
He isn't a serious thinker, he's not even a good interviewer and he certainly isn't interested (or capable) of truly giving viewers a full appreciation of the subjects he pretends to cover.
My old housemaster used to say "Read everything, read deeply and take no buggers word for absolute truth".
I think that's the 2nd best advice I ever got after, "Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your willy".

517 I hate to say this, because I usually hate theories like this, but I think Tucker's been bought by someone. The guy turns into Fox's superstar, then is cold-fired by Fox for making too much sense too often, then he appears to be on the brink of turning himself into a one-man news and opinion juggernaut that says everything the Establishment fears, and then.... he's suddenly anti-Israel and saying that the US was manifestly evil to bomb Japan and end WWII. It's too convenient. I look for him to say even more things compatible with the left in the future. Once a supposedly conservative star burns too brightly, he gets his balls clipped. It happens too often to be coincidence. They all have their price, and someone is just figuring out what the amount is.

518 Tucker Carlson is a national treasure. Not just because he had th courage to swim upstream in the ideological sewer that is the corporate media, but do so with panache in attacking the Left. He’s a NATIONAL TREASURE because he’s willing to question the realities the Right assumes. One of those realities is that Russia is, and should be, our ideological enemy. That’s not wise. We made friends with the Germans after we defeated them. But we’re now engaged in a proxy war in Eastern Europe because of “Russia Bad” and “Putin’s evil.” Russia sees an existential threat – NATO – edging closer to their doorstep, and we’re confirming their paranoia by arming their enemies. When a nuclear-armed country considers an existential threat, it’s not wise to see if you can get them to set off nuclear fireworks.
I have always believed that the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were justified. War is hell, as someone once said. But I understand that incinerating a city is not necessarily an unalloyed good thing. And, given the fact that the government has been gaslighting the country about so many things in the last few years, is it possible the story about the number of people w

519 It becomes a lot easier to question the validity of napalming civilian neighborhoods when you realize that the FedGov is thinking about doing it to yours.

When you realize the FBI/CIA have been massively corrupt for ever, it becomes easier to wonder if the US Military is also corrupt. Especially when the Military does nothing about the Theft of the Last Election.

Looking back through History, you can start with WW1. The Sinking of the Lusitania. Hmm, the Germans told us not to send it out. We did. It had artillery shells on board so it was a legit target. Yet we're told We're the Good Guys.

Or Ft. Sumter, contrary to agreement, Lincoln was sending in supplies.

You find that FDR probably knew about Pearl Harbor.

Things start to become clear. It seems like there is a regular playbook. The mainstream history is 'America gets attacked unjustly out of the blue, and we rise in righteous rage to avenge our losses'.

Real history looks more like we deliberately provoked our enemy until they finally lashed out.

Atheist Sherman burnt Atlanta. Vicksburg was starved so American children ate rats.
Dresden burned so that perhaps half million civilians died.

Of Course: One of LA Soros DA George Gascon's Top Employees -- the Attorney "For Ethics and Integrity Operations" -- Illegally Accessed Police Files on Political Opponents

How much degradation and brutalization by evil communists can this country withstand?

Note she illegally read the records of opponents of his former boss, who was the LA Sheriff, not the opponents of George Gascon. (Although, of course, they share the same list of enemies.)

Jen VanLaar from Red State:

One of LA County District Attorney George Gascon's top employees, Assistant District Attorney of Ethics and Integrity Operations Diana Teran, has been arrested on 11 felony charges related to the "unauthorized use of data from confidential, statutorily-protected peace officer files."

It's so Soviet that the employee in charge of criminal spying on political opponents has the title "Attorney of Ethics and Integrity Operations." Perfect.


According to a press release from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, Teran "accessed computer data including numerous confidential peace officer files in 2018, while working as a Constitutional Policing Advisor at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and, after joining the LADA in January 2021, impermissibly used that data at the LADA."

...

Starting in June 2018, when Alex Villanueva made a good showing in the primary election for LA County Sheriff against his former boss, then-incumbent Sheriff Jim McDonnell, Teran improperly accessed and downloaded the personnel files of Villanueva and other LASD employees who supported his campaign. Sources say this was done at the direction of county Inspector General Max Huntsman, who is also currently under investigation by AG Bonta.

Teran's actions ramped up in November 2018 when underdog Villanueva unseated McDonnell, marking the first time an incumbent Sheriff lost re-election in 104 years. The weekend before Villanueva was sworn in, according to sources, Huntsman sent Teran into the Sheriff's office with an external hard drive and instructions to gather additional personnel files.

About a month after Villanueva took office he got wind of what had happened and alerted the California AG's office and the FBI. The FBI told Villanueva's office they'd provide technical assistance but there was nothing they could really do, and the AG's office gave Villanueva's office the go-ahead to investigate themselves.

Teran has been accused of political misconduct against Villaneuva before. See the article for details. But basically, Teran held off on announcing the office was not prosecuting alleged charges against Villaneuva's cops until after the election, so that the public wrongly believed he was running a dirty shop.

48 You notice how their language for slave is 'worker'? Not secondary or support. Or even power. Also 'primary' for master. Primary, first among equals.

They look at circuits or mechanical designs like politics. In their minds they are the bosses and the slaves are their workers. They just want the names changed.

I don't think they're thinking that much about it. They were ordered to wokify the language, so they did it. I see lots of options.

"Primary" and "Secondary"
"Coordinator" and "Worker"

My favorite I have ever seen is "Primary" and "Minion." Never mind that the two don't even go together.

Nah, they want to fit in the paradigm. They want to be the master cylinder, but they want to change the names of them being a master directing the slaves.

I thought "well that's odd, acknowledging black pols are being backed by billionaires." But the more I think about it, the more I assume Bell's (the challenger) billionaires must be more darkly sinister than Boosh's, in the eyes of the media.

I gotta believe, the people in his ear, they would have told him "now don't go off-script, just say what we told you to say," but they couldn't because he would have said "don't go off script."

So as soon as they heard the words coming out of his mouth "I got one of those calls," there were half a dozen people in the control room, ripping off and slamming down their headsets, smacking their foreheads, pulling their hair.

150 Most people don't know this, but Hunter was a butt-baby. I don't usually talk about it because, for some reason, it embarrasses him... no reason to be ashamed of being a butt-baby, not in this day and age. You can thank Democrats for that.

His older brother came from a birthing person's front hole, God rest him.

But not him. This happened during the Stonewall Riots, when I was protesting for love the American Way, alongside a biker, an Indian, a cowboy, a sailor, and a construction worker. That kind of diverse coalition is our strength.

Now, in those days, I was a real lady-killer. I didn't just beat Wilt Chamberlain at basketball, ya know. But in that moment, I was so overcome by a passion for justice, that I let all those freedom fighters take me. And I can tell ya that one of those brave, costumed queens is the father of the smartest butt-baby you ever saw, jack. It was the fabulous policeman.

Anyway, he and Beau were killed raiding a warehouse full of Putin's phony ballots. Saddest phone call of my life. That's why we fight for Ukraine - because Democrats take action when the people have called them.

The fire bombing of Japan killed far more people, and it's never held up as some sort of terrible atrocity of war.

Because people are stupid.

And the idea that the nation and military that held Iwo Jima for weeks under heavy bombardment would just admit defeat once American boots hit the main Japanese island is outright stupid.

No, that's not really what he said.

He was using the present tense when referring to people who "want to drop nukular weapons on people" when calling them evil.

The problem is, everyone is looking for reasons to say he's bad. Now, he most certainly did say it was wrong to drop the nooks on Japan, but the "evil" comment was about our modern day war goons who are hellbent on it now.

I think the UFO biz is mostly an op, and the notion that Alex Jones is channeling God's word seems a bit extreme to me, but even that, it's hardly a foreign concept for Christians to believe in prophets.

I think a better explanation is Alex is on the spectrum, but if Tucker wants to believe it's spiritual, I don't really have a problem with that.

I don't agree with anyone on every issue. The problem seems to be that since Tucker is one of the few voices mostly on our side and paid a heavy price for not bowing to the mob there seems to be a feeling that he has to have the same position on every issue.

I never thought of Tucker as an intellectual heavyweight and he isn't. He's a talking head I mostly agree with.

NY Court of Appeals Tosses Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction

There's a rule that you can't put on evidence of prior "bad acts" to prove that a defendant committed the specific bad acts he's being tried for in the present case.

It's not that such evidence is completely irrelevant; it's that it's unduly prejudicial to the defendant. Such evidence tends to poison the jury against the defendant well out of proportion to the actual light it sheds on the current crime being judged at trial.

But that's what the state of New York did to get their conviction. They had some weak evidence of rape in cases where the statute of limitations hadn't run out yet, so they put on evidence from other women claiming they'd been raped (in cases where the statute of limitations had run out).

I'm not even sure how this was allowed in the first place. I assume (I haven't read much about the case) that they used the special and often-abused exemption to the "no prior bad acts" rule, the "signature" exception. Prosecutors will sometimes claim that a method of committing a crime is so specific to one individual that it constitutes a "signature" in the modus operandi, and can then put on witnesses who testify about the same M.O. being used in crimes against them.

It's often a weak and bullshitty exception: "The bank robbers wore ski masks and gloves, that's a signature." Okay it doesn't usually get that transparent, but you can see the way this rule can abused, and where a judge will allow "signature" evidence in a case The Regime is desperate to win.

Another exception, which seems to be the one used in this case, is to claim you're not putting on these witnesses to prove his prior bad acts, but to shed light on his state-of-mind he had when committing the acts he's on trial for.

The prosecution put on three witnesses to accuse Weinstein of prior rape, and claimed they weren't presenting this evidence just to show he's generally a rapist, but to prove that his state in mind in the current case was one of intent to commit a sexual assault. That is, it wasn't just a mistake where he misread the woman's level of interest in him.

But I mean, come on: You can't tell the jury "don't consider this testimony as evidence that he committed the current crime, just consider it as far as his state-of-mind." That's telling people to put the information in a special vault in their brain that they cannot access except to answer one particular question. No one's brain works like that, not even the brain of Noted "Compartmentalizer" Bill Clinton.

The toxic Regime will let every criminal out of jail to pacify one constituency. Then, when another constituency must be appeased, they'll change the rules and start presenting/allowing evidence that is plainly out-of-bounds just to convict one guy. The Regime is controlled by people who are all suffering from untreated moral breakdowns, permanently on tilt, and eager to suspend the law or change the law to to satisfy whatever moral panic they're currently in. (Trump can tell you all about that.)

Any trial that makes the news is now a political trial.

Weinstein is still in jail over a 2023 conviction for a rape in California.

But this one is overturned, and he'll be retried, this time without the supplementation of "prior bad acts" witnesses.


Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by the New York Court of Appeals.

On Thursday, the court found in a 4-3 ruling that the judge in Weinstein's trial -- a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement that the 2017 allegations against him started -- had shown prejudice by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. The court has now ordered a new trial.

Weinstein, the Oscar-winning producer of "Shakespeare in Love" and "Good Will Hunting," is serving a 23-year sentence at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in Rome, N.Y. He will remain imprisoned as he was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to an additional 16 years in prison. However, Weinstein was acquitted in the Los Angeles trial on charges involving a woman who testified in his New York case.


...


"We reaffirm that no person accused of illegality may be judged on proof of uncharged crimes that serve only to establish the accused's propensity for criminal behavior," wrote Judge Jenny Rivera in the court's majority opinion. "It is an abuse of judicial discretion to permit untested allegations of nothing more than bad behavior that destroys a defendant's character but sheds no light on their credibility as related to the criminal charges lodged against them."


...

Judge Madeline Singas wrote in the court's dissenting opinion, "With today's decision, this Court continues to thwart the steady gains survivors of sexual violence have fought for in our criminal justice system. Forgotten are the women who bear the psychological trauma of sexual violence and the scars of testifying again, and again. This erosion of precedent, born from a refusal to accept that crimes of sexual violence are far more nuanced and complex than other crimes, comes at the expense and safety of women."

This is always the pitch: We have to break the rules to convict this defendant for political reasons.

...

At oral argument in February, Aidala maintained that Justice James Burke had stacked the deck against Weinstein by allowing three women -- Dawn Dunning, Tarale Wulff and Lauren Young -- to testify against him.

Each of the women told the jury that Weinstein had sexually assaulted them after they showed up for what they thought would be a business meeting. The so-called "Molineux" witnesses were called to show that Weinstein's assaults had a common pattern, and that he was not confused about whether or not the victims consented.

Weinstein's defense argued that the effect of the testimony, however, was to attack his character without shedding any light on the allegations for which he was actually charged.

"This is major prejudice," Aidala argued in February. "It's saying, 'He's a bad guy. He's a bad guy. He's a bad guy.'"

...

The issue of "prior bad acts" testimony was also raised in Bill Cosby's successful appeal of his sexual assault conviction in Pennsylvania. In that case, five women were allowed to testify to buttress the one allegation that was charged. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned that conviction on different grounds, finding that prosecutors had reneged on a promise not to prosecute Cosby.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara

Character evidence alleging past bad acts gets problematic when it involves uncharged crimes. Had Weinstein been tried and convicted of those past crimes, it would have been allowable because it would demonstrate a pattern of ability to commit those crimes in the past. Essentially what NY prosecutors did was use uncharged past bad acts to argue that that this evidence applied to the particular case at hand.

Goes back for a retrial is what will happen.

Posted by: whig at April 25, 2024 02:20 PM (/AKWf)

37 The issue of "prior bad acts" testimony was also raised in Bill Cosby's successful appeal of his sexual assault conviction in Pennsylvania. In that case, five women were allowed to testify to buttress the one allegation that was charged. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned that conviction on different grounds, finding that prosecutors had reneged on a promise not to prosecute Cosby.
Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at 02:10 PM


Ah, I see the press is dutifully hiding information.

The prosecutors SPECIFICALLY promised not to prosecute Cosby so that he could not invoke the 5th amendment in a civil trial.

Then, USING THE EVIDENCE FROM THE CIVIL TRIAL, the prosecutors charged him with crimes.

They should be in jail for deprivation of rights under the color of law.

But there are no consequences for the ruling class. They get a "scolding" and then go on to do the same thing again.

59 The trial judge allowed it because they knew the conviction would be tossed. It was specifically challenged by the defense and the judge ruled against them.

Fast forward to now. The New York judiciary is allowing Trump to be prosecuted based on an act for which the statute of limitations has expired. They've further allowed other charges to be falsely compounded and brought based on that unlawful charge.

New York courts routinely do things like this on a regular basis. To the point they've even ignored SCOTUS in cases like Bruen.

Meanwhile criminals and illegal immigrants roam free.

People are leaving New York for many reasons. But one of those is increasingly a justice system that has been weaponized against the average person or business who doesn't agree with them.

It is more to the point that the appellate court has handed the Trump team a cudgel to apply to the judge in the case. Bragg just introduced the Natl Inquirer editor to testify about how stories are squelched and this is the key to the argument that the payments to Stormy and McDougal as well as to the doorman to squash a stupid story about Trump impregnating a maid at the Trump hotel constitute a pattern of misbehavior.

Since all of that, like whether Weinstein actually had relationships with the accuser, were uncharged activity (in Trump's case because there is literally no law that prohibit disclosure agreements and payment to prevent disclosure), the past bad acts to show they are a bad person is not allowed due to the Weinstein appellate ruling.

Make the leap even larger that appellate courts can uphold any guilty verdict based on Orangeman Bad tactics.

Posted by: ShainS

Vice versa, Trump's prosecutors are the hardest hit. It undermines their pattern of behavior and character assassination disguised as evidence.

They are relying on 2015-2016 testimony which is past the statute of limitations for the misdemeanors of false business reporting based on payments to Stormy, McDougal, etc. This is being used to argue a pattern of Trump misbehavior led to the conduct of Trump misleading the population so that they would have voted for Killary in 2016. To that level, they are trying to apply a NYS statute that deals with state elections to make the misreporting of financials from Trump Inc (categorizing campaign expenditures as legal ones) which is the whole 34 count bullshit where each check payment to Cohen is alleged to have benefited Trump illegally in the 2016 election.

FEC and the Feds already investigated and declined to charge--even the tainted SDNY Trump haters did so. So can Bragg change a state statute to apply to federal elections (which actually creates a federal appellate question to the whole deal) and now has this appellate court ruling undermining his case.

121 The issue of "prior bad acts" testimony was also raised in Bill Cosby's successful appeal of his sexual assault conviction in Pennsylvania.

.. that's not really how Cosby "got off".
It seemed that a previous DA had made an offer to Cosby to testify in a civil suit, which in turn the DZ would not prosecute Cosby criminally. Cosby did testify.
The next DA just ignored the "deal" and prosecuted Cosby anyway. Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled the "deal" was still in force, so there was no conviction.

Harvey being Harvey, I do suspect he sexually assaulted some of them because he got used to getting what he wanted. Just because some floozy actresses climbed into bed with him willingly does not mean all of them did so.

Harv is a fucking pig, but that's not illegal. And there was no shortage of THOTs eager to fuck him for career advancement.

The California case wasn't much better. His THOT accuser accused him of raping her when she inexplicably went to his hotel room for an "interview" (or some similar obviously red-flag situation). Then -- as she admitted -- she began a consensual relationship with him. Yes, that was her testimony: she started dating her rapist. Then, she claims, he raped her again!

=========
Criminal has a higher standard on character evidence that does civil.

Actually has a logical basis to it if you view each trial as only pertaining to the facts of the case at hand rather than whether the person is a 'bad' un that needs to be locked up whether or not they did the crime at hand.

Nothing pisses an old lag off more than being accused and convicted of a crime they did not commit. Many of them will more or less admit sotte voce that they got what was coming in just convictions but they cannot stand being convicted for things they did not do.

For a long time, that is how sloppy cops solved crimes--they go to the persons likely to have committed the crimes on past behavior and if necessary build a case to frame them because the cops reason even if they did not do it, they should be locked up to prevent the inevitable future crimes from the perp

In essence, his lawyer recorded the payment in a ledger 'incorrectly' (this is debatable), all the counts stem from everytime this ledger was altered or amended or emailed etc. this happened in 2017 the statute of limitations ran out in 2019. so they strapped it to another crime to claim it was in furtherance to up it to a felony. that crime was FINALLY outed this week. a state law about running for state office (bragg was trying to claim it is a campaign finance violation)

he duped the voters cause they should have know, it was fraud (is braggs underlying claim) BUT the election was in 2016 this happened in 2017, the bootstrapped crime is a state election thing he was running for federal office. The FEC looked at it and said nope nothing illegal here. IF he had used campaign funds that would have been illegal.

161 In essence, his lawyer recorded the payment in a ledger 'incorrectly' (this is debatable), all the counts stem from everytime this ledger was altered or amended or emailed etc. this happened in 2017 the statute of limitations ran out in 2019. so they strapped it to another crime to claim it was in furtherance to up it to a felony. that crime was FINALLY outed this week. a state law about running for state office (bragg was trying to claim it is a campaign finance violation)

he duped the voters cause they should have know, it was fraud (is braggs underlying claim) BUT the election was in 2016 this happened in 2017, the bootstrapped crime is a state election thing he was running for federal office. The FEC looked at it and said nope nothing illegal here. IF he had used campaign funds that would have been illegal.

That is why he said she said still go to trial. Rape of spouse used to be absolutely barred from criminal action by states. The idea at the time was that consent was rendered when the marriage occurred and the the court should not be involved in domestic spats.

Even until recently legally speaking, spouses had an absolute bar on being able to testify against their spouse. This made criminal charges of domestic abuse particularly difficult as you had to have third party witnesses willing to testify instead of teh direct victim.

206 104 Can anyone here succinctly tell me what Trump is on Trial for in New York?
---
Sure.
In 2016, Stormy Daniels let it be known that she was going to allege her and Trump had an affair.
Micheal Cohen, Trump's lawyer at the time, got wind of it and made her a deal: Cash to keep quite.
National Enquirer got wind of that deal with Stormy.
Cohen then paid them to spike it.
Cohen billed Trump for "legal services."
Trump, Inc entered the payment in the business ledger as same, "legal services."
At some point, certainly after Trump, Inc paid, but definitely not before, Trump may have been told, "those payments were to Stormy and the Enquirer."

This was felony fraud on the poor people of New York state _who _voted_FOR_Trump_ as those ledger entries were 1) indirect campaign expenditures that 2) should have been reported on FEC reports (an illegal campaign expenditure) that 3) deceived those Trump voters into voting for him had they but known he paid Stormy and the Enquirer.

These alleged false entries are a misdemeanor punishable only by a fine. And the statute of limitations has passed.
Unless they are done to further a second crime. Which has a longer limitations.

He might very well be guilty of everything he's accused of- he is a pretty awful person and I'm pretty sure he's guilty of a lot.

234 NASA administrator has ‘no idea’ why China is going to far side of moon that is ‘always in dark’

“What do you think the Chinese are trying to get at, at the back side of the moon?” Rep. David Trone (D-MD) asked NASA Administrator Bill Nelson at a congressional hearing last week. “They are going to have a lander on the far side of the moon, which is the side which is always in dark. Uh, we’re not planning to go there,” he said.

Bragg has nowhere alleged or stated what the second crime is.
And NY law specifically excludes federal campaigns and federal campaign law violations as the "second crime."

But the judge is going to allow the jury to infer the commission of a second crime ... because the first crime-- the ledger entry-- was a crime and the only reason Trump committed that crime was to obviously commit a second crime.

It's absolutely insane that anyone thinks this has any legal merit.

It's 100% a political prosecution that proudly, defiantly stomps on all law, rules, regulations and norms.

Nobody likes to talk about how Hollywood works. Every person you see on screen - there are probably exceptions, but damn few of them - is a whore. Now did they go into the effort with their eyes open and the full knowledge that success would depend on being a whore? I don't know. Probably not all of them, surely some of them.

When push came to shove and it was time to get bedded by Weinstein or one of his countless analogues, they decided to lay back and think of England.

Female versus male strength, even of an old out of shape pervert like Weinstein is an issue. Plus there is the whole power thing that often happens.

You see similar issues with other powerful men and their sexual activities like Matt Lauer and his notorious button locking the office. Going down depravity road does not sate the hunger but increases it to reach the next level.

For a lot of people, power over others is their aphrodisiac. Read an interview once where a senator was asked why he continued as a senator when he could make millions outside of Congress--the senator gave a demonstration of how he got to make his staff hop on his orders and then leaned back and told the reporter that is why he continued in office.

304 279 Nobody likes to talk about how Hollywood works. Every person you see on screen - there are probably exceptions, but damn few of them - is a whore. Now did they go into the effort with their eyes open and the full knowledge that success would depend on being a whore? I don't know. Probably not all of them, surely some of them.

When push came to shove and it was time to get bedded by Weinstein or one of his countless analogues, they decided to lay back and think of England.

This is extremely sleazy. It might even be criminal - it is coercion at worst and quid pro quo at best. But it probably isn't assault or forcible rape.

The ironic thing is that Hollywood has been making pictures about this very subject since they began. Many movies of the 30's depict a young good-looking starlet being propositioned by a wealthy old geezer and what actions were taken, either to succumb to the good life at a high price, or go with her morals and upbringing. A lot of them with this theme.

319 A Shame I will admit now. Back in '96, I was in The Corps, yes I was a Marine at one time, I don't know if I mentioned it. There was this girl, who was WAY into me. It was 100% consentual and undstood, I didn't have sex with her, but I kissed her. I KISSED her, and she was receptive. She asked me, her name was Amy, one of the few people in The Corps that I only knew by their first name, Amy started to melt into my arms, "is this common for you?" CLEARLY asking if she was special . . . She wasn't and I'm honest, "yes." she then got upset and I tried to assuage her, but it failed, then she asked "What about if I was jen." I said, "You aren't Jen but I would like that tool." She had coyote ugly from KISSING me.

She told me to leave her alone and never touch her, and I understood it, she was a one man girl, and she wanted me to be that one man at the time we kissed, JUST KISSED, until she realized I wasn't a one woman guy, at least not for her.

A couple weeks later, because I was a very outgoing guy at the time, and hosted a bit of a party, she realized I was the one hosting, and said, "If you touch me all these guys will fuck you up." I said, "No they won't, but if

I knelt down, and said, "I did not assault you, but if that's how you feel, I will take the punishment. Cut me, Kill me, I feel ashamed though I don't think I did anything wrong." she but stroked me, and remained friends.

A Secret Service Agent Assigned To Kumala Harris Physically Attacks the Special Agent In Charge of the Detail, While Armed;
There Were Reportedly "DEI Concerns" About How This Agent Was Hired

Tom Rogan
@TomRtweets

Scooplet- An armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris's protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning. The incident occurred at Andrews AFB, shortly before Harris arrived.


Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtree

BREAKING: Sources within the Secret Service community tell me the agent assigned to VP Kamala Harris was armed during the fight - that the gun was secured in the agent's holster until other agents physically restrained the agent and took the gun from the agent's possession.

I'm also told there are DEI concerns among the USSS community about the hiring of this agent. Other agents and officers within the USSS are asking questions about the agent's hiring process, whether the USSS did enough to look into the agent's background and monitor the agent's mental well-being because there have been widespread concerns about other strange behavior before this incident. For now, I am also withholding the agent's name.


Other details: Sources say the agent in question was acted erratically upon showing up for a traveling shift at Joint Base Andrews. The agent ended up tackling the Senior Agent in Charge of the VP detail, got on top of him and started punching him. At this point, I'm told, the agent who was attacking the SAIC did indeed have a gun, but it was in the holster. Other agents are expressing relief that the agent did not shoot the SAIC.


Can no one position Kamala Harris for success?

An armed U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris's protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning.

The incident occurred at the Washington, D.C.-area Andrews Air Force Base, before Harris arrived, and after the agent suffered what the Secret Service has characterized as a medical incident. The Washington Examiner is aware of the agent's name and specific detail responsibilities but is withholding those details for privacy reasons.

The Washington Examiner understands that the agent became aggressive with other agents. When the special agent in charge and a detail shift supervisor attempted to calm the agent, a physical altercation ensued. The agent was handcuffed before being withdrawn from service for medical assessment.

Yup. As planned:

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

Odd name. I did find a different article with a cop by that name in Dallas who sued her department:

Michelle Herczeg, 36, filed the suit against the city of Dallas on Wednesday, claiming she "was targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably."

The suit alleges that Herczeg was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment and illegal actions of other officers. She also claims she was not allowed to return to a crime reduction team after she alleged a senior officer assaulted her in May 2015.

"The suit alleged that Herczeg was “targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably” and was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment and illegal actions of other officers. She also claimed she was not allowed to return to a crime-reduction team after she alleged a senior officer assaulted her. A Texas trial court dismissed the suit, Herczeg appealed, and a Texas court of appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision in 2021 and denied a rehearing in 2022.

While serving on the Dallas police force, Herczeg and another officer shot an armed man while he sat in a parked car. According to a department spokesman, the officers were firing in self defense because the man, who had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a child, was brandishing a weapon and eventually shot himself in the head. A headline in the Dallas Observer raised some doubt about the official police account: “Two Dallas Cops Shot a Man Last Night, but They Say He Killed Himself""

211 U.S. Fertility Rate Falls to Record Low...total fertility rate fell to 1.62 births per woman in 2023, a 2% decline from a year earlier (replacement level is 2.1).

what do we think is going to happen when giving birth gets you a 50k hospital bill?

After the Dobbs decision, many young women do not want to risk pregnancy. Especially if they live in red states where getting pregnant carries high risks of non-treatment for complications. This s another argument for why we need immigrants.

Probably a good thing. Our species has exceeded the carrying capacity for the biosphere, lowering birth rates is a good thing. Not so much for capitalism but fuck capitalism, it does nothing but accelerate our demise. I only wish Native Americans were increasing in numbers.

My daughter is leaning towards not having kids. What if my kid is queer? LGBTQ+ plus are being attacked.

Both of my kids were born during Carters reign. Even with good insurance I had to fork over a lot of money to extract wife and child from hospital. Adjusted for inflation it's the same amount as peeps have to out-of-pocket nowadays with ObamaCare.

I don't know where the $50,000 number came from unless someone wanted private room, special surgery to restore hymen, or some other weirdness.

Oddly enough, insurance paid 100% of vasectomy. Not a single dime came out of my pocket.

357 Interesting that hospital stays for pregnancies have gotten much shorter but bills for pregnancies have gotten much higher. Up until maybe the early 1980s, mothers would be in the hospital a week after giving birth. Now, they kick the mom out after 24 hours at most. I assume the exponentially higher bills are due to insane insurance costs for OBGYN and all the probably unnecessary testing and procedures done primarily to ward off lawsuits.

The one thing that has determined child survival rates over time in the last 200 years is hygiene. Most child-bed deaths were due to ignorance, filth, and stupid shit like women pulling on the umblical cord and causing hemorrhages. I talked to my Mexican buddy and he told me his grandmother was tied to a ceiling during birth by women, in a filthy hovel, so her child would 'fall out'.
Percentage-wise, if you keep your house even remotely clean and the woman doesn't fucking panic due to to negative conditioning, anyone can have a no-problem natural birth.

372 Interesting that hospital stays for pregnancies have gotten much shorter but bills for pregnancies have gotten much higher. Up until maybe the early 1980s, mothers would be in the hospital a week after giving birth. Now, they kick the mom out after 24 hours at most. I assume the exponentially higher bills are due to insane insurance costs for OBGYN and all the probably unnecessary testing and procedures done primarily to ward off lawsuits.

I get the opposite feeling. They are so very confident that they'll be able to scam out the votes again, that every single rotten left-tard program is going to be pushed through
enthusiastically.

Bills for everything are higher and will continue to get higher. The US medical system increasingly resembles a racket, and so much is tied up in that fixing it - and it can be fixed, and fixed relatively quickly - would likely trigger a wave of bankruptcies and probably a recession and upset a whole lot of very important and powerful apple carts.

So it won't be fixed. Not yet. Not until it consumes the federal budget. Once that happens, they'll "fix" it by nationalizing it. That will work after a fashion, but will work through rationing like any nationalized system.

384 "Southwest said it lost $231 million and will limit hiring, offer voluntary time off to employees and stop flying to four airports: Cozumel, Mexico; Syracuse, New York; Bellingham, Washington; and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, where the airline’s major operation is at smaller Hobby Airport." The story also has this tidbit---"Airlines are dealing with higher labor costs and delays in getting new planes from Boeing, which is limiting their ability to add more flights at a time of high demand for travel."

388 In the little town of Mulberry AR there's the now restored Kirksey Maternity Hospital. A very large house, it was operated by a Dr. Kirksey from 1946 to 1966. Approximately 4600 babies were born there. A place like that probably would be economically unfeasible nowadays with regs and insurance.

390 You do know that childbirth use to kill a lot of woman. Mortality rates have changed, due to nutrition, cleanliness, etc, however, some woman cannot have children vaginally without issues. Serious issues.
Posted by: Seems Legit'

Sore spot. The 'belly dance' of Eurasia was in fact originally a women-only movement for physical positioning of a child in utero to make sure the head is down and to prevent a potentially deadly breech birth. It became a demonstration of women to show they know how to safely give birth to children.

392 I only wish Native Americans were increasing in numbers.

This is the stupid dumb idiotic fallacy that Native Americans are these peaceful peoples at one with the earth. They watched Pocahontas and believe everyone notices the colors of the wind. They think everyone stayed on their little section of the country making pottery and moccasins. They do not understand tribes warred with each other violently. Stole women, set fire to other tribes villages, stole their land and took it over *gasp* colonized it! The Comanche were hard core. The Sioux would whack you as soon as look at you. The Pawnee would come down hard on inter tribal violence, which is why there are stories about them being more peaceful, but were pretty vicious outside of it. They also had some very weird sexual ideas that I am personally glad didn’t carry through.

In summary, Native Americans were not hanging out in headdresses (war regalia, but details) with a domesticated wolf next to them (domesticated because of the oneness with the earth, no doubt). It was ugly and brutal.
