Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - July 30, 2025 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

Seems a little drastic, but I will admit to a few mornings in my younger years where my interest in morning movement was modest...
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are being sued for violating constitutional free speech rights after their performances allegedly terrorized a woman's pet to death.
The lawsuit begins with Lombardi, the plaintiff, describing how the U.S. Navy terrorized her "daughter," "silenced a citizen's free speech" and "brought disgrace upon the uniform." The "daughter" in question is her pet cat named Layla, who was suffering from a heart condition. Lombardi described the training exercises as "auditory carpet bombing" and "state-sanctioned acoustic torture.""Auditory carpet bombing." We call that the sound of freedom.
A golfer who dreamed of breaking a world record knew exactly what to do after seeing Joel Strasser shove record numbers of things into his beard. Anya Bannasch (USA) was inspired by her fellow American to break the record for most golf tees in the hair - managing an incredible 711 of them when she took the challenge on in Carlsbad, California, on 9 November 2024. It was Joel's many records, including most candy canes in a beard (187) and most beard baubles in a beard (710) that spurred her on to finally fulfill her childhood dream. The 45-year-old was aiming to get at least 400 tees in her hair and almost doubled it.
There is no truth to the rumor that TRex has signed a modeling contract with American Eagle. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hahaha.
A couple of lifetimes ago, I had just moved to Little Rock and was living in a tiny hovel, working a mediocre job. I was writing a friend a depressed letter, stopped, and went out to score some weed, blind in an unfamiliar city.
Found a couple of young guys, and one said, yeah, I can sell you some weed. Went behind his house, came back with a baggie of lawn clippings. Not an auspicious start to the hunt.
My friend to whom I was writing noted that the latter portion of my letter was much more positive and upbeat. My search by some strange miracle had paid off.
The early 1970s were a different country.

The world seems ready to force Israel's hand by having them live next to a 'recognized' terror country. The Israelis left Gaza in 2005 and this war and the subseguent condemnations of Israel is all they get for leaving?

I was laughing at that one. At my old house if I was in the garage it was rough to just run outside and pee, because there was nowhere to really hide unless it was really late at night when there were very few cars, and where you had to go to hide from cars or neighbors it was faster to just go inside. During the day forget it. The new house don't have that problem, woods on each side, can't see the neighbors, and very few cars throughout the day. You could basically pee anywhere. After the move from hell I was in the garage and said oh this is easy. I walked in side kinda chuckling, and Mrs B asks what was so funny. I turned it into an American express commercial and blurted out-
Renovations to the old house to put it on the market-35K
used pickup to run back and forth between houses-$1400
Moving company for the big shit-$1800
Price of new house-400K

A state where the difference in elevation between its highest and lowest points are about eight feet two and a quarter inches is not exactly the type of place with an overwhelming need to efficiently move people from up hills.

I think the English and the Germans are the only ones I haven't heard use that excuse. Though 'French time' sounds like someone bragging that they have a girlfriend/boyfriend. "I'm getting some French time, unlike you losers."

Do temporary tattoos from Cracker Jack box prizes count? Cuz I rocked a lot of those.
In fact I always thought temporary tattoos make more sense anyhow. Imagine if you were stuck with certain fashion choices the rest of your life - say, bell bottoms and a Sandy Duncan haircut.

Panaroma Point. I've seen pictures of it. It's on some guys ranch. For a few bucks, you can scale the mighty peaks of Nebraska's highest point. Or, just drive the dirt road to it. It's rolling grassland in all directions. I'm guessing you can see the Rockies on a clear day.

Jumped out of a perfectly good plane. Not because Uncle Sam told you to, but because you helped an A&P mechanic / jump master fix a jump plane until 0'dark thirty and the next thing you know you are 200 miles away at a drop zome and they are strapping you in.... Out you go!
That should be good for 30 points.

But nobody (most) ever really knew who he was, he kept a low profile. He’s a really interesting guy, I didn’t realize until a little research what an exceptional individual he really was. They didn’t choose him at random to run that operation.

My son and I had just picked her up from the airport where she flew in from her enclave in Baja to be with my dying Mother during her last days who was suffering from advanced cancer and was in Hospice.
She was in the back seat giggling and proud of herself because she had smuggled a bunch of "stem cells" to "save Mom" in from where she bought them from some Mexican dude.
They were in a plastic sandwich bad and she passed them up to my son to look at. My son looks at it and says, "This is a bag of dirt!".
She says no way, they cost her a lot of money. Some says, "There's even rocks in it".
Needless to say we struggled not to laugh and never mentioned it to my Mother.

One time, a reporter mispronounced Wally Schirra’s name as “Sky Ray” and that kind of stuck, if you wanted to piss Wally off, that was one way to do it. He also wielded a lot of power. At one point the NASA dieticians decreed that, there being no nutritional value to Coffee, it would not be included in space. Wally disagreed strenuously, and saw to it that if Coffee was not necessary in space, then by golly nobody needed it at the NASA dieticians office either. They lasted about three days, and relented.

I've hitchhiked (in December, NY-CT state line to Boston and, a week later, back to Jersey) and picked up hitchhikers in the past. It was always somewhat dangerous. But today you'd have to be insane to hitchhike or pick one up.
Posted by: RickZ at July 30, 2025 10:49 PM (gKDq2)
I hitchhiked twice in college. First time, in a major snowstorm on Thanksgiving, the busses were not running that morning and I had job @ 0700 at the hospital. Undercover cop picked me up, asked for my ID (I guess he was an undercover cop??). Which was my home state ID, so no address if he was a pervert. He lectured me the entire 9 blocks. I asked to be let out and he took me to the door of the hospital. I thought,"Oh, hell, he's going to tell the house supervisor!" This was after freaking out he'd call my parents.
Another time, in spite of this, I did it again as the bus was late and it was getting dark. Instead of going straight he turned right. I said stop and got out. Golly.

They had an interview with Mrs. Bill Clinton, and that was all she could talk about. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, the Democrats had been in bed with Soviets or at least fellow travelers since the 1920s, all of a sudden, they are like the worst thing, ever. “Are they really serious!?” Yes. Yes they were. It matters not that everyone knows it’s complete bullshit, so long as they have a narrative to spew their talking points, and indict, it’s all fair in love and war. Shameless doesn’t really cover it.

Sometimes more than necks are broken by a hanging, the head gets taken off, too.
Some people were strangled by hanging and took minutes to die; it was thought a quick jolt of deadly electricity was more humane.

Correct on the electrocution.
Edison went around the country illustrating how dangerous DC was, actually selling A/C. He electrocuted elephants to make his point. Which resolved in him selling the electric chair to the govt.

DC was Edison's investment; AC was Tesla's baby purchased and funded by Westinghouse. DC's downside was the size of the cables needed and the huge line losses.

Edison promoted DC current. He was slagging AC as dangerous, and his botched electrocution of Topsy the elephant was done with AC, provided by a Westinghouse generator that he did not know how to run.
And the truth is, DC can kill you worse. A DC shock can freeze your muscles, and you cannot let go. Because AC reverses 60 times per second, you can sometimes twitch free of the hot wire.

It is a function of the skin resistance and the voltage. Inside, the resistance is fairly low (like 300 ohms), but the outside skin can be a few thousand ohms or more. Break down the outer skin, have a low path from the AC source through you back to the AC source (e.g. earth ground, assuming source is earthed), and the fun begins...

Oh, note on oleaders:
"The oleander plant is one of the most toxic you can have in your garden. A person can die from just chewing part of a leaf or using the stems to skewer food. All parts of the oleander plant are toxic, including the leaves, stems, seeds, flowers, and nectar inside the flowers. Honey made from oleander flowers is also poisonous. Children have died from just sucking the nectar from the flowers...Two cardiac glycosides called oleandroside and nerioside, along with digitoxigenin, neriin, and oleandrin, are what makes oleander poisonous."

We haven't had major smoke yet this summer-- but the last 20 years or so, it's been a feature *every* year.
IMO, not so much due to guv "firefighting" but rather, due to piss-poor forest management due to environmental regs that reduced clear-cutting, brush removal and even plain old logging in some areas.

DAMN near burned down my parents' cabin-in-the-mountains once but burned every tree around them and their Hansel-and-Gretel hut in the Enchanted Woods turned into a little house on the prairie. Another fire burned m SIL's home.
I was working in a newsroom once during fire season. Hated that, too. We didn't know anything but we put it on the air anyway. People calling us all day telling us the Forest Service was useless, which it might have been, no idea.

A number of folks were shot (in the leg, it the arm, in the thigh...one guy got shot in the head, but the bullet wrapped around his skull and came out behind the ear). Amazingly, nobody seemed to have died...
Then a grand-aunt (married to my grandfather's brother) had a brother and brother-in-law shoot each other to death along Main street in a Texas town almost 110 years ago...

Yep. But to me, what's even funnier is leftists thinking Trump is in those files. If Trump was in the Epstein Files, it would have been leaked during Obama's term to help Hillary or it would have been leaked in 2020 to help Biden. Neither happened. But leftists cannot seem to grasp this concept. TDS is a powerful drug.

The closest they got was Trump using Epstein's plane for a trip to Jersey? Wherever it was, it wasn't to Paedo Island. Yeah, if they had dirt on Trump, they would've dumped it out before 2016.

Management is part of it too. I come from a family of loggers. In the old days the loggers would see a fire start and put it out. The the gvt came in and said you can't do that but if you take these tests and sign these papers you can be part of the team. And the team made *good* money, food and Gatorade provided, don't go to work until three pm when we see what way the wind is blowing. Then the loggers didn't log in the summer, they "fought" fires. My dad did that for a few years until he was so sickened by the dishonesty he quit.
Obviously a hot topic with me 🙂

There were a group of researchers from a local Uni here that needed to get to Mali in the Maldives, so tickets were purchased, and equipment was packed up to fly over. When the researches exited the plane, they found themselves in the country of Mali, Africa instead...with a bunch of ocean monitoring equipment...

The Dewey system is excellent for small-to-medium libraries, but becomes clumsy for very large collections (such as...the Library of Congress).
Most large academic libraries use LoC. City libraries are more likely to use Dewey.

Anatolian shepherd stands down a pack of wolves. He's a terrible watchdog but such a good boy. Another golden makes a poor watchdog (but is the best boy anyway). Melting your drone to get good video of lava and it's worth the cost. Dogger just relaxing at the beach. Cats with good genes (who are obviously Nazis, especially the one with the Hitler mustache). A temporary situation becomes more serious. Great game for you and your cat and it's free. Dog is packing for his trip, too. When the missus wants a little somethin'-somethin'. Trump impresses at his new golf course. You don't sit in a dog's spot. Peter Pan as performed by sheep.

They're already doing that.
Last year some scammers made off with $25 million from a Hong Kong company when they used AI to deepfake a video and audio conference call from the CFO, along with some other fake coworkers, of the company telling the employee to transfer the money in 15 different transactions.
People have been AI deepfaking voices to impersonate relatives begging for money for a few years now.
It usually involves being held for ransom or needing bail money or something similar.
The voices are convincing if the crooks have a recording of your voice to start with.
This sort of thing will be as commonplace in the future as scam phone calls are now unless we figure out a way to prevent it/label it, detect it.

Last year some scammers made off with $25 million from a Hong Kong company when they used AI to deepfake a video and audio conference call from the CFO, along with some other fake coworkers, of the company telling the employee to transfer the money in 15 different transactions.

============
That scam has existed for 30 years. It used to be to get a low-level employee to fax sensitive information to the scammer under the guise of the boss's urgent request. Scammers are always early adopters.

The Golden greeting the man above gets his stuffed animal. They do this when they are happy to see you. It is sort of a pacifier.
Our Golden was also addicted to our son's dirty socks and would hide them. Granted the boys were pigs and often did not put them in the laundry basket in their closets. Their father told me to "pick my battles" and I gave up on their rooms in high school.
He once met a couple we were having for dinner, and did not know really well. He arrived in the foyer with a pair of one son's dirty underwear in his mouth to say hello. He reserved this for special guests. Fortunately they had a Golden as well who was a nutcase.

My father was very good at golf. He taught us tennis, basketball, badmitton and baseball. He wanted to teach me golf, figuring I could be (back then) one of the rare females to get a college scholarship and save him money. He was always thinking ahead. I told him it was too slow paced.
I do regret now not having it a try as it would have been more time with him as a teen. But it would probably be only one lesson as I would throw my putter or club as well as the ball as far as I could if I did not succeed quickly. I was known to throw my tricycle in the early days of toddlerhood.
He also taught me to shoot pool, which came in handy at bars in college. I was pretty good.
No scholarships were ever won by me.

Finally, she let readers know that Crockett received 7,000 fewer votes in her re-election campaign in 2024 than her predecessor, the late Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, did in 2020.
In other words, though Crockett hails from a safe district in Dallas, she is losing support even there.
The overall message of The Atlantic piece is clear: Jasmine Crockett should not be taken seriously or in any way become the face of the Democratic Party.

In another blog, which is for more old people (I am olde but do not feel old or act old), I post photos of my grands from the back only with no google ID.

Not necessarily. Sometimes the exporter eats the tariff to keep the price low, or the government will subsidize it to promote exports.
There is also the option of buying something domestic, and where those options don't exist, tariffs make it more viable to start domestic production.
Our nation flourished under tariffs. Core part of the original Republican platform.

Ultimately, at the end of the day, yes, we the consumer will pay higher costs.
But it comes with quite a few benefits that make that reality worthwhile
1) it encourages domestic production of goods, which is important for employing people and keeping critical industries in the US and maintaining quality standards etc. (and not helping our adversaries)
2) the treasury raises a bunch of money
and
3) companies still have to compete on price. Chinese companies will cut their profit margins as much as necessary to compete with American companies. So the companies will likely be shouldering a lot of the cost in lost profit, so the tariffs won't affect us anywhere near as much as something like an end user sales tax does.

My guess is they are promises in part to do what was already planned. But if nothing else, they are a symbol of bending the knee to American hegemony. All these countries need us way more than we need them.
The EU promises in particular are suspect. The “EU” made the promises to invest, but the EU itself has no real money. It’s just a governing body. So who is gonna make good on the 100s of billions the EU promised?

The marginal price reduction gained from outsourcing came at the price of massive blue collar unemployment. Whole towns were wiped out. Lansing has a series of open field where three assembly plants used to be.
Tariffs keep those plants open, and the workers earning money also increase tax revenue. It's a virtuous circle for everyone except vulture capitalists. Mitt Romney needed to add a fourth car to his garage.

The numbers have shown import prices haven't really grown much.
Apparently, the exporter is eating most of the cost.
Say you're making 100% profit on your item you're selling here using basically slave labor in Vietnam or China to make it.
Shaving 50%, 35%, 15% off the profit margin may be painful, but losing access to the U.S. market completely and getting 0% is deadly. That was huge leverage on Trump's part.
I think that's what's happening here.
Nations & corporations are making the calculation on their pain level now that they've realized Trump is serious as a heart attack and eating the costs, for now - like he told us they would.

Lots of countries have this tax in place... like Japan, 10%
Now, us having a Tariff on their goods, means our Home Manufactured goods get a competitive advantage HERE... but them not having a Tariff but a VAT, means a level playing field there...
But note, there is no VAT on Exports... so really it's about a 5% change in price for THEIR exports... compared to selling to their own country.

I've had the good fortune to be able to travel around most of this country.
It is absolutely breath taking driving through the rust belt, midwest, and what used to be company towns all across the country.
I don't think most people who live in cities can really grasp what happened to this country over the last 30-40 years.
Driving through miles of abject poverty, then showing up at a rinky dink town and realizing it used to be a good sized city, and half of the people in town were employed by the local manufacturing plant, and the other half were in complementary industries. Then one day, the plant moved to China, and the whole town went to shit, and most of the people who lived there's lives went to shit. And recently, the illegals have been showing up from god knows where to join the scene and also be only marginally employed and/or on welfare.
And that's like... a lot of the interior of this country.

As I’ve been saying, a lot will be absorbed by the foreign concern in the form of lower profits with no increase in price to us. Foreigners have been getting fat on huge profits raked in from us. Lambo just announced it made 27% profit on cars delivered the first half of this year. Probably 35% of that was from us. They can eat a 15% tariff.

this term is different./i]
That is a good way of putting it. I was genuinely concerned that Trump was going to revert to NY centrist left type, but he's so enraged at what they did to him and tried to do that he's out for blood and that does nothing but benefit us. I am concerned for some long-term effects of some of this, but am willing to exchange that for some real wins here and now.
I know that sounds contrary to my usual position but the future is out of our hands and honestly there's nothing Trump can do that will make the left act any worse than it already was. If there are consequences in the future, well they would have been doing that anyway without being needled by Trump.

China is really good at schemeing and undermining and suborning people, but they are always at such odds with each other and always soullessly struggling for an advantage that there's no unifyig goal, no overall plan, no grand scheme.

Al Gore:
Today’s EPA announcement ignores the blindingly obvious reality of the climate crisis and sidelines the EPA’s own scientists and lawyers in favor of the interests and profits of the fossil fuel industry. Weakening safeguards that reduce greenhouse gas pollution will harm American competitiveness in a global economy that is moving away from oil, gas, and coal and will increase the suffering of communities that are overburdened by the dirty co-pollutants caused by burning fossil fuels.

A lot fewer zips in the wire. Trump had, ironically, a terrific break between terms to get his team assembled and ready for action. No way he could be doing what he is doing had his terms run consecutively. Too much bicameral, bilateral Deep State still entrenched for sabotage.

Imports have not only not slowed down, they're increasing. A lot. My company is booming, and hiring, and I have many, many contacts throughout the industry that say the same. We are setting transaction records on a weekly basis at this point. (And on a personal note, collecting a metric shit-ton of OT, now tax-free thanks to Trump.)
All the majors are still importing the same stuff; Kroger, Costco, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, you name it, all the biggies.
Which tells me that their consumers are buying more. Which means consumer confidence is up.
And while imports are up, exports are up even more, which is what we as Americans want, rapidly addressing a trade imbalance that never should have existed in the first place.
I'm seeing nothing but win from Trump's trade policies on my end.

China keeps reunifying because it is mutually beneficial. The size of China means that - under a competent dynasty - famine is impossible. There are always growing, wet regions to feed those wracked by drought. Internal trade is immense and the vast rivers make ocean-going transit almost irrelevant. This is why China never needed a blue-water navy, but has massive riverine fleets.
A lot of people don't know this, but from 1928 to 1937 is known as the Golden Decade because when the KMT unified China, the economy took off and real development started to take place. Then the Japanese attacked and everything went to hell.
If Japan had held off for a year, Mao and his goons would have been wiped out.

Tariffs.

With the added bonus that it kept government spending in line with how well the country was doing economically.
They added the income tax and spending skyrocketed from there on out.

For men of his generation, jeans are a work uniform, not something one casually wears. I've gotten away from wearing them. For yard work I just wear old uniforms of which I have many.

Yes, but you see the flaw with tariffs is that you cannot use them to pressure people to do some things and avoid other things. Income Taxes are a tool to manipulate culture and behavior, which is why the left keeps wanting to raise them. They don't believe that the taxes are necessary for revenue, even if that's what they argue.
You can't use tariffs to get people to stop buying houses or having kids, for example. You cannot use tariffs to make it too expensive to home school or have at least one parent at home. If your goal is social engineering, tariffs are useless -- worse than useless, counterproductive.

Heavy rain this morning, only 100 watts for several hours, but temp was only 72 outside. Should have tilted panel array lower to get more winter sun, but winter ... have to burn wood, or pay 11 cents/kWh for electric. As is, I have too much solar power in summer (could connect my solar to grid, but don't for "reasons").
Panels and batteries cost me about $18K, return about $1K+/year. Not bad, but got it mostly in case of brown outs or outages, or other leftist government interference. And ... it is kinda fun to play with.
Batteries charged now, will run my mini-split all night off batteries, temp set at 73.

there's been talk of eliminating property taxes, which are really taxes on just existing...
Change it to where only income producing properties can be taxed. If you raise bees, and make $3000/year, tax that $3000.
If you run a bar, and make $1MM a year, tax that. But a domicile that produces only children and/or cookies for grandkids shouldn't be taxed at all... ever.

Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic: Everyone Hates Jasmine Ratchet
The Free Beacon's Andrew Stiles read it so that you don't have to.
Basic takeaway: She's so obnoxious that even The Atlantic has trouble polishing this turd. Thirty-three of her Democrat colleagues refused to comment about her -- refusing to offer the expected "she's great" puffery -- strongly hinting that she is absolutely despised, even by this crew of criminals, demagogues, and groomers. It also indicates that everyone knows that everyone else will cook her, so no one wants to be known to have spoken to the "journalists" from the Atlantic: Naturally anyone known to have spoken to them will be suspected of having trashed her. So they just pretend "I don't even know this ratchet bitch."[E]ven the liberal journalist was repulsed by Crockett's toxic narcissism. As a sign of how poorly it went, the congresswoman called the Atlantic reporter, Elaine Godfrey, days before the story came out to complain that the journalist had been contacting her colleagues in the House "without telling her first," and proclaimed that she was "shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions," which isn't a thing.Yeah that sounds like her. Bold. Brash. Borderline illiterate.
More at the Free Beacon. The narcissistic no-account says she's thinking about running for governor of Texas, insisting that Texas is actually a blue state, just "vote-repressed." In addition, fellow unaccomplished dim-bulb diva AOC seems to be jealous that another female moron is getting attention and "likes" on TikTok. Jasmine Ratchet is forcing herself into another story, and not for any good reason. Texas is planning to re-draw its legislative districts for partisan advantage, which is perfectly legal. Democrats oppose the effort, which is also legal. Though they're going to resort to illegal means to do so. They're planning on denying a quorum in the Texas legislature by "fleebagging" again, running away to another state. (Texas police can arrest them and deliver them to the State House if found in Texas.) But flying around the country to avoid arrest is expensive, and Texas fines truant legislators $500 a day. Last time they did this, they just paid the fines with campaign dollars. Republican legislators closed that loophole, and the law now forbids the use of campaign donations to pay legal fines. But Jasmine Ratchet has a solution -- just lie about where the money came from. Just claim it's a "salary" from a side-gig. From the Texas Tribune:
The article portrays Crockett as a self-infatuated wannabe influencer who "monitors social-media engagement like a day trader checks her portfolio." She brags about having the "largest social-media following" on the House Oversight Committee, and makes sure to notify the reporter that her YouTube rant about ICE agents being "out of control" was approaching 800,000 views. She would often tout her social media metrics while meeting with House Democrats during her failed bid to become ranking member of the Oversight Committee. "The base is thirsty," she told one freshman colleague. Out of the four candidates who wanted the job, Crockett finished last. "During many of our conversations, Crockett wore acrylic nails painted with the word RESIST, and a set of heavy lashes over her brown eyes," Godfrey writes. "The lock screen on her phone is a headshot of herself." She does not come across as someone who is particularly pleasant to work for. Godfrey notes that Crockett called her office to berate a staffer in the middle of an interview. ... Not surprisingly, Crockett's glory-hounding antics have aggravated many of her fellow Democrats. Godfrey notes that 33 House Democrats she contacted for the story "either declined to talk with me on the record or didn't respond to my interview requests." A number of Democratic staffers suggested that Crockett's colleagues were reluctant to criticize her publicly, but have expressed concern privately about her lack of discipline. "She likes to talk," one of the staffers said. "Is she a loose cannon? Sometimes. Does that cause headaches for other members? 100 percent."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Dallas Democrat who was part of the 2021 quorum break, sees a path to circumvent the campaign finance rules: With minimal limits on external income, Texas lawmakers can simply accept the donations as another salary, she said. As one of the most prolific fundraisers in the U.S. House, Crockett said she's willing to tap her donor base -- and her $3.7 million war chest -- to cover the expenses.That's illegal. I don't just mean lying, I mean Ratchet's suggestion that people should lie about where their money comes from, and that she will help them. A "conspiracy" is a simpler-than-you'd-imagine crime: A conspiracy is simply an agreement between two or more people that one or more of them should commit a felony. You don't have to commit the felony to be guilty of conspiring to commit the felony; the conspiracy -- the agreement itself -- is the crime. You can be guilty of conspiracy to murder even if the murder never comes off. Again, the crime is the conspiracy itself, not the crime you agree to commit. (You can withdraw from a conspiracy but only by taking action that makes it clear you no longer wish the crime to be committed, like... calling the cops.) There is some case law that you have to commit at least one "overt act" in furtherance of the conspiracy, just to establish it was a real agreement and not some loose talk. If Ratchet does in fact call a single one of her donors, that's an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy she's already publicly announced.
I don't know Texas law but it is surely a felony for a politician to lie about his sources of income to evade campaign finance laws, so Jasmine Ratchet's urging of others to commit this crime, along with her promise to help commit this crime, makes her a conspirator to commit the crime herself. She pretends she's a lawyer. She should know all this. But, you know: None of the letters in "DEI" stand for excellence or achievement or earning it. Arrest this ratchet criminal.

Another point is that the Texas Legislature meets for 140 days every two years (excluding special sessions) and they don't get paid a ton ($7,200 per year, plus a per diem of $221 for every day the Legislature is in session) so most of these people have some other income. Where is THAT coming from while they're out of the state?
It should also be known, and I'm surprised that the Dems don't have this tattooed on their foreheads, that they've done this in the past - twice I believe - and it's cost them seats every time.

Crockett is the loud mouth that shows up to take control when none of the approved Democratic leadership takes control. All the lunatics become emboldened because no one controls the "off switch." The DNC still does not have a valid leader, and they won't for a long while. Because the first one to stick their head up is going to have a vetting target on them from the DOJ...and these people have a lot to hide.
I don't know if Trump planned this or it just fell into place. But, if you're paying attention you've noticed as soon as someone sticks their head up Trump swats it down (sometimes directly) sometimes indirectly like Letisha James.

It is a little odd how genuinely unlikeable people get "elected" to high office, when elections *should* depend quite a bit on the politician's ability to persuade people. Which requires a certain amount of pathos to establish an emotional connection with the voters.

It is a little odd how genuinely unlikeable people get "elected" to high office, when elections *should* depend quite a bit on the politician's ability to persuade people. Which requires a certain amount of pathos to establish an emotional connection with the voters.

Agreed. I think it would be nearly impossible to be a successful politician in the US (and all that entails) without having some kind of major personality disorder.
Think of how narcissistic you need to be to actually run and campaign for office, much less how entirely unprincipled and willing to schmooze and lie to people's faces all the time you need to be to successfully get tapped by one of the parties to have a chance of winning that office.

I have seen some of the calculations for tsunami predictions ... and they are fricking complicated, and require a near perfect map of the underwater topography plus nearly infinite computing power.
I am perfectly fine with sending out tsunami alerts for EVERY big oceanic earthquake, along with a rough arrival time. Not a very large price to pay for "false alerts".

Two of the Criminal Thugs from the Cincinnati Street Lynching Are Arrested, But At Least One is Released on a $400 Bond, as Morbidly Obese DEI Police Chief Blames the Beating on the Bartender Who "Overserved" the Thugs
Two arrested in brutal Cincinnati mob attack; one was freed on bail despite serious chargesAnother Gentle Giant. He was thinking of applying to CUNY and starting a career as a rapper. Per a story linked at Hot Air, he was released on all of these charges -- carrying a gun despite a "disability," meaning illegally carrying a gun as a felon -- on a bond of $400.
CINCINNATI - Cincinnati Chief of Police Teresa Theetge announced during a public safety meeting on Tuesday that two people have been arrested in connection with a downtown attack that left two people seriously injured over the weekend. The chief said 34-year-old Montianez Merriweather and 24-year-old Dekyra Vernon were arrested, though no charges were announced. Hamilton County jail records also omit the charges that both suspects face. FOX 19 in Cincinnati reported that the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office said three warrants have also been issued for additional arrests. The Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Queen City Lodge #69 thanked the Cincinnati Police Department for arresting the two people so far in the "heinous attack" that occurred on Saturday morning. The FOP also shared a previous incident in which Merriweather was indicted on July 10, 2025, for receiving stolen property, weapons under disability, improper transportation of a firearm and other charges.
Well, it's not his fault, is it? It's never the fault of a member of a Protected Democrat Group. Note he was released for the gun charge for $400, and on this charge, also for $400. Obviously they did not charge this guy with anything serious. Because the real villain here is... a bartender. She says this at 2:40. She's going to use "all investigatory techniques" to move the blame away from Protected Democrats. She continues calling this savage attack "a fight." And she insists she will charge anyone on "either side of the fight." So the white guy who got put into the hospital is just as guilty as the wilders who repeatedly stomped on his head when he was down. And she refuses to tell us what they're being charged with. Because she's charging them with basically nothing.
The post also noted that Merriweather was released on a $4,000 bond, though he only needed to post 10%, or $400 to be released. "This is your court system," the FOP post read.
Cincinnati Police Chief Terri Theetge just blamed the bartender.

Montianez Merriweather, a suspect in a violent mob attack, was released on a $400 bond. Apparently he was a *victim* of over-serving alcohol by a bartender.

Oh, come on.
The bartender is always the person to blame when a bunch of hooligans stomp on old peoples heads. Every time there is such a story, the first things the cops do is say "have any of these hooligans been to a bar lately, and if so, where is that dastardly bartender who caused this beat down to occur?"
Or something like that.

Archaic east coast legal terminology.
Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at July 30, 2025 05:27 PM (i24o9)
Er what do you call it on the west coast?
The legal principle is that a bartender is responsible for not overserving bar patrons, or for serving minors.
In practice, it's a way for someone who gets hit by a drunk driver to sue someone who has actual assets (like the bar) and not the schlub driving a 20 year old beater truck home to his apartment after drinking 15 busch lites at happy hour.

Why would they do that? I mean, it's a public record. They've been arrested. The reason for arrest exists, otherwise no legal arrest. So, what's the holdup?
Seriously, it's like shenanigans are guaranteed when this type of exclusion is permitted. If I peruse my local PD jail records, ALL of them have the coded crime and the financial charges (or bond) listed.
So why not list charges of the arrest? The charges can be changed/amended upon further investigation, but there are detaining charges.

A couple of reminders: Canada is actually our largest trading partner; foreign investment increases the trade "deficit"; tariffs (taxes) are always paid by the last person to pay for the product (foreign companies are merely the tariff collector similar to state sales taxes).
Posted by: Earl Schlobodowicz at July 30, 2025 03:41 PM (P7Iz+)
==
Actually this is not exactly right. Businesses are tax collectors for domestic purchases (sales tax) and wages (income tax). However, on tariffs they are the payers. This is a distinction in that it becomes a business decision. More like a corporate tax.
Now, does it go into the mix of expenses a business needs to consider when setting their pricing decisions? Yes. And higher expenses can lead to higher prices if you can get them - sometimes you cannot and historically tariffs have never seen the full cost passed through. They are deflationary though, meaning that Powell's comments are stupid. If he is truly worried about tariffs, it would be that they can slow growth. This is an argument for maybe a couple .25 cuts. Not a hold rates steady.
He's being a partisan hack.

Yeah, the beatee's will be able to sue the bar for overserving the beaters, if they can prove that that's what happened, and that was what led to the fight (I guess? I've only dealt with dram shop laws in relation to drunk drivers hitting people), although I'm not sure how much monetary damages they will realistically have.
I don't know if that's really a viable legal theory, because it's kind of hard to say "absent the bartender getting these hooligans drunk, the fight would not have happened", but I'm not an expert on this type of fact pattern by any means.

However if you try to be edgy n cool using that word pronounced with the "A" or the hard "R" around a crowd of black people, this just might be the result. In anger, no better. Just sayin.
I can go out here in the Bay Area and go to a mall, grocery store, whatever and hear white, black n Mexican kids calling each other the N word repeatedly all day long. I've seen fights start over shit like this in a food court at a mall. Black kids took issue with another group of kids that were mixed black, brown n white using that word amongst themselves and a brawl ensued. People have "black fatigue" and it's certainly real. I wonder when black people are going to become fatigued of using the N word themselves.
If I'm a foreman at work Ive taken issue and told black guys to stop referring to each other as the N word.It irritates the shit out of me how much they use the word themselves. Bad enough to hear it blaring out of someones vehicle at a stoplight on occasions.

I think we need to have a societal conversation about that. Chaplinksy is stupid case law, "fighting words" are not a real thing, and even in the context of Chaplinksy had nothing to do with a person being able to punch someone for saying something disagreeable, and just because someone says something mean to you doesn't mean you can stomp their heads in.
And it shouldn't even be offered as an excuse, because who cares what mean words went back and forth before the fighting started?

That will be somebody else's problem.
First off, the absolutely hard to wrap your mind around group think these people operate in says "it'll all be fine"
Second off, you only have a few years in office in which you have to make generational wealth and connections with powerful and rich people. That's a full time job in and of itself, how can you expect any politician to waste time worrying about nonsense like garbage pickup, road maintenance, and dealing with crime and schools and all that nonsense? PLUS, all of those functions have strong interest groups behind them, and why would you want to antagonize them? The interest groups are often times your path to the intergenerational wealth, which is why you got in to politics in the first place.

I think he fabricated it on the spot on the Rogan show to steer the conversation away from Epstein and other unpleasant topics he didn't want to talk about.
"Yeah, yeah, child molesting intelligence assets, whatever. Did I tell you about the CRAZY SECRET ROOM I FOUND?"
Rogan did not seem to buy it at all. He asked for details, which Kash couldn't provide.
But it would have been funnier if Kash embraced the Hardy Boys thing and said "Joe, I got a raging clue. And I followed that clue..."

Not a good idea to compound a situation calling a black person the N word. If one of those people actually called one of them black people the N word WTF did they expect to happen given black culture and behavior? I'd call it being situationally aware. A group of black people getting rowdy you better get the F out of the area if you are white. I'm curious what witnesses have to say and that's why I asked.

Yeah, look at the age distribution though. What matters for the future of demographics is the number of women of child bearing age. A quick google search says 48% of women between the ages of 15 and 44 in this country are non-white.
And for the younger side of that group (Gen Z), it's around somewhere between 48-52% who are non-white.
For the next Generation (Alpha), it's 52%-55% being non white.
So for every 2 old white people who die, one of the people "replacing them" (as it were) will be non-white.
In other words, the demographic shift will happen VERY quickly. In my working career, whites will be a minority in the US.

I believe the story making its way around the media now is that there wasn't an actual secret room, but that some search terms/ files were purposely coded in a way that they wouldn't be easily searchable.
Which might be true, I don't know. But it's a far stretch from a secret room full of hidden files that old FBI directors would keep hidden from everyone, but future FBI directors could stumble upon them and find them.

You aren't breaking out hispanics who are white versus those who are not. Browns is a catchall phrase put together by victim group architects.

Fox NewsFor now. File this under Least Surprising Headlines of the Day. Democrats have been "bemoaning" her threat to run for governor.
@FoxNews Former Vice President @KamalaHarris
announces that she will NOT run for governor of California: "For now, my leadership and public service will not be in elected office."
"She Comes In With Baggage': California Dems Bemoan Potential Harris Gubernatorial BidCalifornia Democrats faulted her for treating the office of governor of the seventh biggest economy in the world as a Safety School.
Former VP 'would only fire up Republicans and hurt' Democrats, a California House Democrat says Matthew Xiao
July 28, 2025 As Kamala Harris weighs a run for California governor in 2026, state Democrats are expressing their fears that the former vice president "comes in with baggage" that could hurt the party down-ballot and energize Republicans. "There's no groundswell for [Harris's] candidacy," one California House Democrat told CNN on condition of anonymity. "In fact, I think it would only fire up Republicans and hurt our ability to win the four to five seats that we need to win the House and hold on to three seats that we just flipped in 2024." "She comes in with baggage," the Democrat said. Other California Democrats expressed frustration that Harris appears more focused on staging a 2028 presidential bid than on leading California. "Once you're the vice president of the United States, there's only one place to go--it's president," Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D., Calif) told CNN. "For me, if I was vice president and all of a sudden I lose, it would be a fallback to me. I hate to put it so bluntly." Some major Democratic donors and interest group leaders, meanwhile, are insisting that Harris still needs to answer for her failed presidential bid last year, according to CNN. Harris took over the Democratic nomination from then-president Joe Biden and went on to lose to Donald Trump, failing to carry a single swing state. ... This isn't the first time that California Democrats have publicly aired doubts about Harris, who said that she will make up her mind about a gubernatorial bid by late summer. "Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete shit storm," a California Democrat who contributed six figures to her presidential bid told Politico last month, noting that another Harris candidacy would only remind Democratic voters of the "traumatizing" 2024 election.
From her previous statements, I previously concluded that she is trying to interest donors into setting her up in "charity" grift in which she will be paid a salary, given luxury offices, have travel and hotel paid for worldwide tours, and have a 24-hour-per-day professional chauffeur service. She doesn't really want any office where she'd be expected to actually perform or make decisions. You know-- the exact same grift they set up for Hillary Clinton and her mutant Deep One spawn Chelsea. But Kamala is willing to threaten runs for governor and the presidency (again) to get Democrat mega-donors to pay her to go away. They will have to open up their checkbooks is they want to focus on (right hand up and to the front) What Can Be (left hand down and to the back) Unburdened By What Has Been.

devout --adjective
1. Devoted to a religion or to the fulfillment of religious obligations.
2. Characterized by religious devotion or piety.
3. Fervently believing in or advocating an ideology or position:
"a devout socialist."
Leftism really is a religion.

The bottom line is that Trump closing the de minimis loophole (order values under the $800 threshold) will be disastrous for Temu and Shein, who have exploited the loophole to ship millions of low-value packages directly to U.S. consumers without paying tariffs or undergoing rigorous inspections.

One of the most insane verdicts ever in the Netherlands was delivered today.
Arnold O. murdered his ‘girlfriend’ — a young mother — because she focused too much on caring for her newborn and too little on him.
He stabbed her 258 (!) times and filmed the mother as she lay bleeding to death. Afterwards he took selfies with the newborn in its mothers blood.
The Public Prosecutor only demanded 10 years in jail for this extremely gruesome murder, but the judge halved it to only 5 years in jail because Arnold O. has “limited cognitive capabilities”, a politically correct way of saying he has a very low IQ.
Our regime is not only allowing these monsters in, it’s also allowing them to commit the most horrible acts of violence.

Agreed. She could win primaries only to lose again with people who won't vote for a woman. I want a woman to win but afraid the country at large isn't ready yet.
I think there’s a misconception among many that she would have been a shoe-in. Losing the nomination would be pretty humiliating especially having served already as a senator and VP. It would have echoed Nixon’s failed run in 1962.
As a Californian, I can 100% guarantee that Kamala would have won the Governorship. She was an outstanding state Attorney General. She did so much heavy lifting during the Great Recession and ensuing foreclosure crisis. People here have not forgotten.
I've been supporting Katie Porter all along and this move by Kamala Harris just opens up a better prospect for Katie.

In related news, the Dept of Energy has wasp nest regulations.
Posted by: Lithiated gp
-----------
1. They have a standard for allowable radiation in wasp nests?
2. They routinely check local wast nests?
3. This is probably from wasp using something from inside facility to build nest. They either use mud or fiber and I guess could be either. Probably not a big deal as the stuff was probably known radioactive and they may have even seen wasps digging in it and that is why they checked.

At AP: "Employees who routinely check radiation levels at the Savannah River Site near Aiken found a wasp nest on July 3 ...
The nest had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations, officials said."
In related news, the Dept of Energy has wasp nest regulations.

2. They routinely check local wast nests?
3. This is probably from wasp using something from inside facility to build nest. They either use mud or fiber and I guess could be either. Probably not a big deal as the stuff was probably known radioactive and they may have even seen wasps digging in it and that is why they checked.

I think it's more like they have standards for radioactive anything. All the historic DOE nuclear sites are required to test animal scat, pools of water, dead animals, etc. for radioactivity levels. There was a site a few decades ago that had radioactive fruit flies. They then try to trace to the origin of the radioactivity. For the wasps, if they were using mud, that probably means that they were collecting it from a wet area that was seeping radioactive waste.

Trump trusts Grenell or he wouldn't have put him in the positions he has. Grenell, for his part, seems to value the relationship with Trump...going so far as to discuss his aspirations on being California gov. with him personally.

GDP Grows Strong 3% in Second Quarter
The 3% rate is the annualized growth rate, that is, what the annual growth rate would be if this quarter were repeated four times.
It's a solid number -- a strong number. In my own mind 3% is the baseline for a "strong" rate of growth. The economy can grow more, but 3% is where the "strong" range begins. Even the AP is forced to concede this is "strong" growth. But note that immediately after conceding that the second quarter showed "surprising" (that means "experts predicted the opposite") "strong" growth, they immediately begin undermining that fact, talking up foreigners' and leftists' "concerns" about the economy. And then they keep talking about the 0.5% contraction in the first quarter, talking about the old news of the first quarter more than the new news of the second quarter.The U.S. economy expanded at a surprising 3% annual pace from April through June, bouncing back at least temporarily from a first-quarter drop that reflected disruptions from President Donald Trump's trade wars. Still, details of the report suggested that U.S. consumers and businesses are wary about the economic uncertainty arising from Trump's radical campaign to restructure the American economy by slapping big taxes -- tariffs -- on imports from around the world.Weird, huh, that the only time that the left admits that taxes slow economic growth is when Trump imposes tariffs? They deny that Democrat tax hikes slow growth. In fact, they've been screaming about Trump's tax cuts without ever once conceding that lower taxes spur growth.
"Headline numbers are hiding the economy's true performance, which is slowing as tariffs take a bite out of activity," Nationwide chief economist Kathy Bostjancic wrote.The "experts" keep predicting rising inflation and slowing economic growth which never actually arrives, and of course the Steno Pool Media repeats these Democrat talking points.
America gross domestic product -- the nation's output of goods and services --rebounded after falling at a 0.5% clip from January through March, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The first-quarter drop, the first retreat of the U.S. economy in three years, was mainly caused by a surge in imports -- which are subtracted from GDP -- as businesses scrambled to bring in foreign goods ahead of Trump's tariffs.
Boy you almost forget that the new GDP number is 3.0% because they won't stop talking about the brief Biden-era 0.5% contraction six months ago. Check this out:
The bounceback was expected but its strength was a surprise: Economists had forecast 2% growth from April through June.The "experts" keep failing in their predictions, so let's keep making the "experts'" predictions the main topic of conversation, rather than the 3% growth. The New York Times takes the "let's keep talking about the first quarter even though we have the second quarter's data in now" tactic to the next level. The Times doesn't want to acknowledge that the GDP grew by a strong 3%, so they average it with the first quarter number -- still suffering under Biden, and with Trump's policies not even close to enacted yet -- to talk about the first half-year's average GDP growth.

Trump's already negotiated several trillions of dollars in foreign investment and guaranteed purchases. That's a lot of fresh money coming into the economy. Do we need additional stimulus? I don't think we do. In addition, Trump's closed deals with our biggest trading partners, the EU and Japan, and so there is now a stable platform for business investment going forward. (We still have to negotiate with Canada, India, China, etc.) This ends a lot of the uncertainty that Trump began his term with. I think Trump's tariff war is like Reagan and Volcker greatly increasing interest rates to wring out the Carter inflation -- there is early pain, yes, but in service of future plenty.
I'm not an economist, of course, so this is just the halfway-informed speculation of a layman. If you know better, let me know.

The suspect in the attack on Danville, Virginia, City Councilman Lee Vogler is Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, a 29-year-old resident of Danville. On July 30, 2025, Hayes allegedly entered Vogler’s workplace at Showcase Magazine, confronted him, doused him with a flammable liquid (reportedly gasoline from a five-gallon bucket), and set him on fire outside the building. Hayes fled the scene but was apprehended by police during a traffic stop shortly after.
Authorities confirm that Hayes and Vogler knew each other, and the attack stemmed from a personal matter, not Vogler’s role as a councilman or any political affiliation. Charges against Hayes are pending, but specific details about his background or motive beyond the personal dispute remain limited in available sources.

Powell is a leftwing hack who's prime directive is to hurt Trump and especially the GOP's chances in 2026. So if he is refusing to lower rates, I take that as a very strong sign that lowering rates would be beneficial for the economy and the country. Or at least he thinks so.
I realize there is some debate even on the right about lowering rates. Some on the right want rates to remain where they are. I will not engage in such debate other than to say I think these people are wrong.

There will be individual trading agreements with Canada and Mexico alone. Right now, Trump is removing the leverage of both countries from the equation by securing trade agreements with the EU and China. These last few months of securing those trade agreements take away a country like Canada's little scheme to open up more active trade with the EU. Mexico relies heavily on China to gain leverage on agreements with the US.
Those two entities won't be able to make the same promises they were expecting to make just 30 days ago.
Canada, particularly, is in a bad place. They are going to end up just agreeing to whatever is presented, or face Venezuela type inflation. And, don't forget the tariffs going into place on schedule August 1st. I'll bet Carney wishes he would have continued in his previous positions of resume building instead of ending up being the scapegoat on what happens to Canada next.

Lowering interest rates will promote small and mid size companies growth which will increase employment thus helping to stabilize our growing economy and decrease the probability of inflation.

What counts is REAL growth. Growth of 5% with 3% inflation is better than 3% growth with 2.5% inflation.
Lower rates would increase inflation but that would be more than offset by the higher growth, stimulated by low rates. Housing would go parabolic again if mortgages got down to even 5%.

Danville City Council member Lee Vogler, 39, of Danville, was working in the Showcase Magazine office at about 11 a.m. local time, when Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, of Danville, allegedly forced his way into the building carrying a five-gallon bucket of gasoline

This is the real issue. We once again find ourselves with a massively inflated real estate bubble where in many markets the average household income in that area would not be enough money to qualify for a mortgage on a starter home.
While obviously interest rates play a role in that there are also about 5000 other variables in play as well.

I find it exceedingly difficult to allow any federal building to use marble as a construction component when we can't even build decent housing for our soldiers on base. Ft. Wainwright only recently allowed air conditioning in housing, and then only in new buildings, even though the temperatures in those rooms reach about 98 degrees F and the smoke from all the wildfires all summer makes the air unbreathable.
Fuck that little skunk and his cost over-runs. He is single handedly causing a lack of good housing for soldiers.

Supply and Demand will fix the Housing Cost issue in a healthier manner than lowering rates will.

First, the 3% second quarter number is good, very good, but it's not a fully booming economy. There is some rebound from the falsely low first quarter numbers. But also, the economy is recovering from 4 years of President Auto-pen and the crack smoker. It's going to take more than 1-2 quarters to get the U.S. economy to get firing on all cylinders (which will likely occur when the coming energy boom is fully realized. It's starting to be priced in, but users of energy products still have to pay the current price).
Second, I think Trump wants lower interest rates in part for his ego. He wants a massive GDP number or two, even if it sparks higher inflation. He'd prefer 6% growth with 5% inflation than 3.5% growth with 2% inflation, even though the latter is actually better.

I can pretty much guarantee that's not going to happen. The way the law is written in Canada is vague even though they named it the "Clarity Law." Essentially, for a province to secede, they have to show a "clear majority" and a "clear will of the people." The House of Commons wrote it that way so it gets tied down in the Courts (Liberal Courts) to determine what that means.
At the same time, Carney has shown his domestic strategy is all about bait and switch. Make promises that can't immediately be realized, and then draw it out as long as possible. I think next February is when the vote occurs in Alberta....he (and the east Liberals) only need to make promises at that time frame to stop the momentum of Albertan residents to leave.

Id say that may be technically true but is also pretty misleading.
Homeownership since the boom years after WWII has fluctuated between 61% and 65% of households owning the home they live in.
So basically unchanged since the 1950s. What has changed is the composition of households. In 1957 a mother father and two kids may have rented an apartment while they saved up to buy a house.
Now there are a lot of single parent households or roommate situations where there is no hope / expectation of ever being able to buy a house.

As a Realtor, I'm on the front lines for this one. There is a growing awareness that the Fed isn't inline with economic reality, and what that has lead to is a LOT of potential buyers who feel squeemish about making an offer "today" when they feel that any minute now rates should be going down. That "any minute now" thing has been going on for 90 days, and its really causing the housing market some discomfort due to paused activity, waiting on the rate cut that never seems to come.
Posted by: Crusader at July 30, 2025 03:44 PM (TN0g+)
And then the Fed will contemplate its collective navel before possibly doing something based on their risk assessments.

Not many people switch back and forth from owning to renting and back again.
A house is *supposed* to last for decades, so it makes sense that the ownership rate would be pretty stable and tend to increase long-term.

They've booked a room in Marx's imagination, and probably already paid the reserve fee.
Jacobinism came first, so that wasn't about Marx's 6 ages. But leftism since then, since Marx basically took over the remnant of revolutionaries and convinced him his scheme, it's all been about his theory of what's going to happen in history.
That's where Marx's reading public was, in France, among the revolutionaries that rallied for a short-lived revolution in ~1870. But since then, they've invested pretty heavily into the imagination of a Western academic.

Entry level housing (and rents) should become more affordable when a few million illegals are removed. The demand will go down, supply will be increased. And the supply that becomes available will be more entry-level. Yes, that means that young adults will need to be satisfied with a starter home (not new construction or a mansion, but only 2-3 bedrooms with some items needing work), but expectations are a separate matter.

There is a very important caveat to Clinton and Obama's goals. They focused toward home ownership in Urban centers only. They actively tried to discourage suburban and rural home ownership. Obama did this more than Clinton. He even involved the Dept. of Transportation in these goals by forcing use of mass transit and increasing the costs on personal transportation.

A lot of the problem in 2008 was that buyers of homes were already wiped out. The agencies were approving loans that could not seriously be paid so they could resell them as "money". This false demand encouraged building in distant areas that had no economic support, so one things took a downturn people ditched the asset and moved elsewhere.

Wrong - low end buyers are concerned with food, gas, and utilities, not durable goods (like furniture and appliances). For them, that has also gone down.
As a low end buyer who is still in my low end buy, I don't change things til stuff breaks...and neither would low end buyers. There are no "home renovations b/c they'd be nice and I'm sick of my 10 year old kitchen"...

I see that vid with the black girl as a parody of the woke meltdown over AE. It's obviously staged. The girl is well-dressed and at least pretending to be affluent. She's smiling the whole time she's saying "oh, I can't go in there, I'm black." She then saunters off in exaggerated steps. I think it's a parody.

This is to say that people in service jobs or early career aren't going to qualify for that kind of loan for a plain old suburban house. If we incentivize too much via lending policies (FNMA, etc), and such, we end up with a lot of people buying houses they can't afford and we get another bubble like we had in the mid 90s.

Yes, but the rates need to be raised in reaction to the boom, you can retard a boom if the rates are ahead of the economy.
Inflation is going to happen with an increase the demand or velocity of money. So any economy where participants can't wait to get their hands on more dollars, that is an economy that rewards activity and investment, it's going to have attendent inflation.
So rates should be raised to calm it down. Not in anticipation of its uptake.

Even local state universities for locals is like $20k a year for just tuition. Throw in housing, books, living costs and I don’t know how anyone gets a degree for under $100k without community college.

And each deal outs more pressure on those who haven't signed a deal to sign. Because they will get left out of the U.S. economy.
If India doesn't sign...won't Vietnam and Indonesia eat their lunch in the U.S.? Will they ever get that market share back? If India signs, WTF can China then do? Now the Europe is on board, what hell can Chile, Canada, and Mexico do? They have to agree, the sooner the better. The worst thing to do is wait, then agree at some later date.

FWIW I just looked on Zillow (yeah, I know...) at my first house, a townhouse. I paid a bit under $200k for it late 90s. It's showing at $550k now. And it isn't that great of a townhouse. Location is a few miles from where I am now.

Median student loan value (which would obviously not include no loan) is $25k. Which shows what I said earlier a few outliers have enormous debt but they’re not anywhere near normal.
As for $20k a year, that’s without any aid or scholarships. I think if you include that it’s closer to $12-15k. Which a summer job could cover a lot of.

This is ridiculous. Lowering borrowing costs benefit everyone except the people that hold the mortgages. I’m not saying set rates at zero or give anyone a loan that wants one. How many great businesses or even steady ones were started by taking a second mortgage? The conceit that you can so precisely target economic policy to only benefit one group while requiring others to pay their “fair share” sounds vaguely and similarly misguided.

I have 2 years left on the mortgage, house has doubled in value plus the 16 acres of field behind me was just converted into conservation forever wild surely adding another 70k-100k in value for never having a housing development back there.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) does another cringe “I should be at work” video, this one at the gym where he’s winded half-way through a set of light bench presses.

Democrats are trying to attract white male voters. Swalwell at the gym “pumping iron” won’t help.

CNN wants you to know how Butch Democrats are now.
Democrats running in next year's midterms are pumping out videos of themselves pumping iron. In one video, Texas Senate candidate Colin Allred stands in his home gym after a workout and, still in a sweat, criticizes President Donald Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In another, Cait Conley, an Army veteran challenging New York Rep. Mike Lawler, talks about affordability as a video plays of her pressing weights over her head. And when a critic on social media jabbed at his bench-press form in a recent campaign ad, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed posted a snappy dismissal correcting how many pounds he was lifting.
Ad "That's 315, habibi," El-Sayed said in a post on X that has been viewed more than 5 million times. Politicians working out in public is a bipartisan custom. But Democrats are increasingly posting weightlifting content in hopes of reaching male voters in the so-called "manosphere" that Trump mastered during his campaign. They are also trying to move past the ongoing arguments -- fanned by Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill -- over former President Joe Biden's physical and mental fitness. "People want to see vigor, they want to see action, that you're prepared to do the job, doing more than sitting behind a podium regurgitating a litany of nonsensical acronyms," said Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo. Pat Dennis, another strategist, credited candidates for exploring new ways to reach people, but warned about seeming inauthentic. "I would caution Democrats against pulling out a checklist -- 'For young men, we'll do some bench pressing; for young women, we'll talk about the Barbie movie,'" he said. "People don't like checklists and they don't like being pandered to. They remember you for who you are. You need to be authentic, in a way that is believable."
That’s 315, habibi. https://t.co/ae3zyrzQeB

Not a single one of the people I saw in the "learning to punch" video looked like they could take a punch. And I didn't see a single punch, and I'm being generous with the term, that would phase a 10 year old boy, let alone a full grown man.

That would seem too much work. Recently in a gym video I saw that their are large weights that are pretty light but the standard size. You could use those easily enough.

I don't think that comment went to his form. I think the comment and the close-up meant to show how there's no shadow under his back. Like it's faked. I don't know if that's true, but the lack of a shadow does seem odd to me.
315 is serious weight to bench press with decent reps and no cheating. I suspect this goatfucking clown can't do it.

Eric Swalwell is 44 years old. Greg Gutfeld is 60. There is an enormous decline in strength every year after you turn 40, unless you're consistently pumping iron. Swalwell would naturally be stronger than Gutfeld.

Learning to one punch with a bunch of women is the exact wrong strategy. Even Antifa in 2017 knew that the best use was to distract the other side by screeching and let the fighters attack from the blind side. Although there was one incident were a Antifa gal threw a punch and a guy there nearly KOed her with a return punch.

Too late. When you "spontaneously" start doing things you've never done before, and you do it coincidentally with others at the same time, and you film it for social media, that's pretty much the definition of inauthentic.
It's right up there with the forced profanity displays from about two months ago before all the Trump trade deals and tariff setting started kicking in.

Arching is a hotly debated topic with in the community.
It's legal in competiton, as long as your ass stays on the bench throughout the lift.
In training ... it shortens the range of motion ... it puts the lifter in a more advantageous position to move heavier weight.
It's not inherently dangerous in and of itself.

Women's self-defense classes are quite arguably one of the most harmful things women can do, as it instills a false sense of competence in a hand-to-hand combat situation. The simple fact is the average woman is going to get the shit kicked out of her in a fight with the average man, and especially if she's ambushed by someone with bad intent. Situational awareness and not walking into dark alleys at night will go much further. Avoidance and escape are what will save them.

If you do a lot of reps, the bar can definitely stress the thumb/index finger. That tiny bit of cushion actually does help your hand. Also, you want every advantage possible to keep that bar off your neck. It's kinda like using a weight belt. Some things, you just want that extra bit of protection because injury is real and can be spectacular.

Fighting is a bad idea. There is no right way to do it outside of a ring or on a mat. You never know what's gonna happen but it's probably going to be a matter of luck.
We give Hollywood a hard time for making women seem superhuman. In truth, they do that to men also. Fighting as a boy in school, is not the same as squaring off in the street against a stranger. We may have allies behind you. Run.

The comparison is only that it helps provide a bit more protection but clearly not in the same way. The glove spreads the pressure out ever so slightly (padding) on the grip and it does relieve some discomfort on that. Also, the bar rips against the leather and not the epidermis which helps grip comfort. The belt is a completely different tool.

Lula and his party are most definitely taking advantage, Biden-Democrats style, over Bolsanaro's loss and the reaction by his people in trying to launch a military takeover. They also had their own version of J6 where his supporters rushed the buildings in Brasilia.
There's a supreme court judge there, Alexandre de Moraes, who's causing a lot of the problems by going after Bolsanaro and right-wingers, censoring social media and starting investigations, similarly to what's going on across the West.
I wouldn't put it past Bolsanaro's advisers to have actually planned some kind of coup in the case he lost the election, even if they never planned on carrying it out. Bolsanaro was an army colonel who turned that into politics, and it's not like Brazil has never seen right-wing coups and military dictatorships before. After he lost the election he hauled ass to Orlando, FL, which I always thought was suspicious.
Also, he faces petty corruption charges; that he kept items given to him as president which belong to the state, and a charge that he lied on a travel visa claiming he had been vaccinated for COVID when he hadn't.

Please, if you live where you can be armed in public, DO IT!!

Only if you are willing to pull the trigger if necessary for self defense and those of others. And you can hit at what you aim at.
Best to have those self conversations before needing to use a firearm and make a decision where and when you will do so. Defense of self? Family? Others?
Not really even a training issue on the awful decision to pull the trigger but one more of morals, religion, upbringing, and mental toughness. No shame in deciding you cannot end someone's life but don't carry if you cannot. Shooting period is considered lethal force everywhere and warning shots can actually let the thug shoot you in self defense. So it is a binary decision--do you shoot or not. Plus, everyone assumes that it will be some ugly big guy--often it is youths or even females that are deadly threats. You don't get to pick your aggressors in these matters.
Capability to do so effectively is a training issue. And you shoot to end the threat present and NO MORE than that.

Terrorist Training Camp UCLA Pays Out Big Settlement to Jewish Students for Permitting a "Jew Exclusion Zone" on Campus
Not a one of them asks the Mitchell and Webb question: "Are we the baddies?"
Harvard, for its part, sees the writing on the wall and is considering finally settling with Trump.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has agreed to pay $6 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Jewish students and faculty members over the school's handling of anti-Israel protests, including allowing protesters to ban Jews from a part of the campus known as a "Jew Exclusion Zone." The lawsuit was brought last year by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which accused UCLA of "aiding and abetting" an antisemitic culture, including "segregating Jewish students and preventing them from accessing the heart of campus." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Mary Osako, the UCLA vice chancellor for strategic communications, said the university has taken "concrete action to enhance campus safety by creating a new Office of Campus and Community Safety, instituting new policies to manage protests on campus and taking decisive action for conduct that violates our longstanding policies." "Antisemitism has no place at UCLA, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to eradicating it from our community," Osako said. "We have reflected candidly on our progress and are working to expunge antisemitism from our community in its entirety. ... The university agreed to enter into a consent judgment and pay more than $6.13 million to the plaintiffs. A federal judge still needs to give final approval. In August 2024, a federal judge ordered the school to stop allowing anti-Israel protesters to ban Jews from portions of the school's campus. School officials acknowledged that students had been physically blocked from accessing parts of campus. ... "In the year 2024, in the United States of America, in the State of California, in the City of Los Angeles, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith," a federal court found at the time. "This fact is so unimaginable and so abhorrent to our constitutional guarantee of religious freedom that it bears repeating, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith." "When antisemites were terrorizing Jews and excluding them from campus, UCLA chose to protect the thugs and help keep Jews out," Frankel said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital by the Becket Fund. "That was shameful, and it is sad that my own school defended those actions for more than a year. But today's court judgment brings justice back to our campus and ensures Jews will be safe and be treated equally once again."
Harvard Is Said to Be Open to Spending Up to $500 Million to Resolve Trump Dispute The sum sought by the government is more than twice as much as the $200 million fine that Columbia University said it would pay when it settled its clash with the White House last week.Well then there will be no settlement. You are refusing to bring yourself into alignment with US law -- and the Constitution -- regarding discrimination against some races. You have made it clear that you intend to flout and evade that law. A federal overseer is required to make sure you stop discriminating. But you won't. This isn't just about your antisemitism. It's also about being anti-white and anti-Asian and anti-male.
Harvard University has signaled a willingness to meet the Trump administration's demand to spend as much as $500 million to end its dispute with the White House as talks between the two sides intensify, four people familiar with the negotiations said. According to one of the people, Harvard is reluctant to directly pay the federal government, but negotiators are still discussing the exact financial terms. The sum sought by the government, which recently accused Harvard of civil rights violations, is more than twice as much as the $200 million fine that Columbia University said it would pay when it settled antisemitism claims with the White House last week. Neither Harvard nor the government has publicly detailed potential terms for a settlement and what allegations the money would be intended to resolve. President Trump has privately demanded that Harvard pay far more than Columbia. The people who described the talks and the dynamics surrounding them spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential negotiations. Although the two sides have made progress toward a deal, Harvard is also skeptical of Columbia's agreement to allow an outside monitor to oversee its sweeping arrangement with the government. Harvard officials have signaled that such a requirement for their own settlement could be a redline as a potential infringement on the university's academic freedom.
... Mr. Trump said in June that his administration might strike an agreement with Harvard "over the next week or so." Although that time frame has lapsed, the president has privately told aides that he will not green-light a deal unless the nation's oldest and wealthiest university agrees to spend many millions of dollars. ... A White House spokesman, Harrison W. Fields, said on Monday that the administration's "proposition is simple and common sense: Don't allow antisemitism and D.E.I. to run your campus, don't break the law, and protect the civil liberties of all students." Mr. Fields added that the White House was "confident that Harvard will eventually come around and support the president's vision, and through good-faith conversations and negotiations, a good deal is more than possible."I think Harvard is more determined to discriminate against Jews, whites, Asians and men than Putin is to capture Ukraine. No good deal is possible.

See? The Blade knows. I said weeks ago, in the face of complaints that the Columbia settlement was a loss for Trump (!) because Columbia would go on discriminating, that a key element of the deal was an outside monitor.
An outside monitor can cause pain for decades, because it keeps the door open to go back for more. Leftist settlements (mostly for alleged discrimination against blacks) in the 1970s and 80s that required monitors are still terrorizing companies and governments even today.

DEI is a religion. Its adherents won't give it up. They won't change their minds about it and they'll act on their faith to the fullest extent possible. They have to be thrown out and replaced -- and the replacements have to be chosen by non-adherents. Until this happens, the DEI believers of Harvard will continue in their catacombs, practicing their rituals and spreading their faith, risking self-immolation for their cause.

"creating a new Office of Campus and Community Safety"
Oh great, more administrators to drive up tuition. How much you wanna bet it'll be staffed with Leftists, probably anti-Jews? "Our mission is to insure all students' safety (from Zionists and White Supremacists)".

Trump prefers deals, if he can have them on arguably favorable terms. But universities aren't bargaining in good faith, and any deal that does not include termination of a lot of administrative personnel and expulsion of students will subsequently be undermined by them. They're inveterate racists and bigots, and no deal is going to change who they are. Just like there has to be personnel turnover in government agencies, that has to happen in the universities. Otherwise, we're just collecting fines and kicking the can down the road. Maybe that's all Trump thinks can be accomplished. And given congress maybe it is, but congress ought to cut off whatever funding it can and find other ways to break the administrators.

I don't know. Was it acceptable for the pro Palestinian protesters to set up a "Jewish exclusion zone" blocking Jewish students and professors from access to campus?
Your response is not connected to my question. GQP and conservative whacks in general have been championing and demanding access for years to have Islamophobic speakers to come to come to universities. When 10/7 happened do you think it was safe for Palestinian students to walk freely on campuses? Really?
The university allowed students and faculty to literally exclude all Jewish people from parts of campus. That went on for weeks. So, yes, the university violated a whole lot of laws and ethics in support of the pro-Palestinian cause.
I live adjacent to four universities. I have never once seen a "pro-Israel agitator."
Students were blocked if they didn't denounce Zionism, not Judaism. Is Zionism part of the Jewish faith? One is a political ideology, no? I don't get it. I am open to enlightenment!

Someone using the word "ilk" correctly.
Far too many, supposedly learned people, out and about on the interwebs routinely use "ilk" to describe people and groups they like.
"Ilk" is a pejorative term. Do not use it when you're grouping people, places, or things that you like.

Megyn Kelly warned Israel that it “has made itself the villain of the world” during a recent conversation with Piers Morgan during which she urged the American ally to bring its military campaign in the Gaza Strip to a speedy conclusion.
"But what Israel’s doing now is losing its standing with the rest of the world. And it can sit in its corner, and claim that it’s morally justified and it has the, you know, upper hand and all-, it’s too late! It’s lost, it’s starting to lose, too, even with its closest friends, its moral reputation, its moral high ground. And as Trump said a year ago, time to wrap it up."

Why didn't they go ahead and burn them ?
---
Because they were washing their hands of their crimes.
You have to understand the compartmentalization of crimes that is the bureaucracy.
This guy in this dept. moves it to this designation.
This guy in this other dept. then marks it for destruction
Thig guy in another dept. moves it to the burn room.
And finally, the guy in the burn room is to burn it.
Each step designed to hide who is doing what.

Trump isn't really trying to goose the economy with lower rates, though.
He knows that would be a byproduct of lower interest, but he's more worried about interest payments on the debt right now.
A decent rate cut could lower those payments by tens of billions a month or more.
Trump & Bessent have made that position clear several times.
They're not asking for 0.25% rates, just more in line with Europe & Asia's rates, around 3%.

Posted by: NALNAMSAM at July 30, 2025 02:34 PM (VkY89)
Exactly. And when your debt is $37 trillion, that means you owe roughly $1.4 trillion in interest each year at 4%. At 3% it is $1 trillion. So, a small decline in interest rates adds up to huge savings, and takes a big chunk out of the annual deficit.
If interest rates drop to the global average, AND we get the tariffs, you might see a $1.2 trillion reduction in the deficit. That brings us to only a $600 billion deficit. Cut another $100 billion in spending - you start getting int he range where we could grow our way out of it.
That's the plan.

Reports: King Charles Is "Appalled" By Trump's Comments That "Bad People" Are Coming to Europe on Boats and This Will "Ruin" Europe
This pussy.
GB PoliticsBefore getting to the story, let's review Trump's various comments about immigration made with the effeminate PM Keir Starmer. A couple of days ago, a reporter asked Keir Starmer about Trump's incredible performance in securing the border. Keir Starmer is plainly upset at this statement/question. Starmer is presently pretending that he really wants to stop "the boats" coming over from France, filled with illegal aliens from the Middle East. But he's just pretending, so he doesn't want to have to endorse Trump's actual action on the issue too much.
@GBPolitcs NEW: Sources close to King Charles have informed The Express newspaper that the King is "appalled" by Donald Trump's recent comments on immigration to the UK
Keir Starmer’s brain just malfunctioned.

King Charles 'appalled' by Trump remark as aides fear he will break royal protocolOh eat a dick. You got cucked by a sheikh. The most popular comments are praising Trump for speaking truth to undeserved establishment/royal power:
According to a source, the King is concerned that the US President could put him in a difficult situation in the next few weeks.
King Charles is allegedly "very concerned" that US President Donald Trump could launch into a massive rant about immigration during his second state visit to the UK in September, a source has claimed. It comes shortly after the US president sent Prime Minister Keir Starmer "advice" about the ongoing small boat crisis. While on a private visit to Scotland, Mr Trump warned the Prime Minister that those coming across on dinghies are "bad people", but praised efforts to end crossings. Meanwhile, after arriving in Scotland on Friday, the US politician made headlines after he declared that illegal migration is a "horrible invasion" that is "killing Europe". Now, civil servants have issued warnings that he could break protocol and make politicised comments during his visit to England in a few weeks. Mr Trump is expected to deliver the traditional speech at the state banquet held in his honour by the King and Queen when he arrives. A source who is close to the King told the Daily Beast: "Charles has spent his entire life promoting tolerance and compassion. "He will be appalled by what Trump said on Friday, which seems to be entirely driven by his domestic agenda, and will be very concerned about the possibility of a repeat of Trump's outburst in September."

The “three Brits” turn out to be, of course, a trio of Sunni Muslim Kosovar Albanians—because that’s what Blair, Cameron, Johnson, May and Starmer decided they wanted to do to you. Think of the British Isles as that poor Croat girl, and the “three Brits” as the entire political elite—Tory and Labour, Reform and Sinn Féin—plus Fleet Street’s court eunuchs, who very much enjoy watching it.

I think the thing most responsible for no wars in Europe was WWI & WWII. Europe removed the best & the brightest in WWI and finished the job in WWII. Prior to the world wars, conflicts were low intensity.
I & II drained the manpower resources so quickly and so deeply that they weren't able to sustain a large war. Russia, Germany, France and England were hurting after II. To thenpoint, that without the US, all of Europe would have collapsed.

Charles is 'appalled' by Trump saying Things That Must Not Be Said for the reason Charles thought he could continue banging his true love Camilla while married to Diana without public notice, and that Prince Andrew thought he could explain away accusations of his pedophile tourism by claiming that he has a disorder that keeps him from sweating. The Royal Family Nostalgia Amusement Park Ride exists in a bubble that shields and protects these twits. The bubble is maintained by a large, skilled, and if needed, thuggish staff. Their own skills are atrophied as a result.

Excuses are what I expect. We'll get a version of, "I was going to quit but, my constituents begged me to stay on."
Most men would be humiliated when they issued and wound up eating such a challenge, but, Swallwell is a Democrat and, therefore, incapable of shame.
Even if Swallwell "wins" this challenge, he'll still lose, because he's showing everyone what a vain and petty little man he is.

It was 50 days, I wanted to be generous, but we just don't see any progress being made." No progress by Putin. Trump later added: "... Every time I think it's going to end he (Putin) kills people."

Well, actually, it started long before then.
Britain, opened the floodgates first in 1947, first to invite workers from "Commonwealth" countries to help rebuild London after The Blitz. What started as a trickle became a flood when the "temporary" workers were informed there would be no penalty for staying forever, and then also told they got free health care and free housing and could invite their families, etc. From 1947 to the present it has never stopped, only accelerated.
France's Big Mistake happened as a guilt reaction after the Algerian War in 1961, allowing Algerians to immigrate to France as an apology for having killed a lot of them during wartime. nce that started, they allowed in residents of any former French colony.
So the problem pre-dates Obama and Hillary. But it could have been stopped at any time. But never was. Laster, it was increased on purpose for ideoliogical reasons, to dilute the white vote so leftists could have a chance in elections.

Now we know why Pompeo didn't say a word when Trump stated that there was no way that Pompeo was going to be involved in Trump 2.0. He didn't warn Trump about Gina Haspel, and probably used his globetrotting as an excuse to never having to explain the connection.

By a huge margin I would bet real Brits like President Trump's statements. The comments in the UK DM wish they had a Trump, mass deportation, and an Alligator Alcatraz.
Stuttering Starmer was put in his place by Daddy. I think there are at least 7 cities in the UK with esslamic barbarian as mayors. They are slow to respond to the invasion. Most of the boats/rafts come from France and Macron.
The last time I was in the UK, about 8yrs ago, I only saw one burka in York. Woman and her slit for eyes came into a drugstore. I tried to stare her down but she would not meet my eyes. Otherwise we mostly had a great trip of not seeing the invaders.
It may take them buring down Westminster to get the attention of the hoity toity.

The Royal sovereign (he is "head of State of hot only GB, bit ali tve Brittish Commonwealth) has not defender the Faith, unless he has turned jihadist. And he has not protected his subjects from the predations of invaders who have raped, pillaged and killed his native subjects with impunity.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Air conditioning is a bone of contention in Europe. Some people want it and some people don't, as is right and proper. Different strokes for different folks and all that. It becomes interesting when some people want it, but can't get it because somebody else thought it would be better if it was unavailable. Sometimes, this is due to Muh Climate Change. Britain, for example, has banned R410a refrigerant for small systems (we are following them), which has implications for cost but not availability. Britain also requires government permission to install air conditioning in commercial buildings.
But the real issue lurks beneath the surface. It isn't about refrigerants or health and safety or the always convenient "climate change." It's about energy and anipathy:Europeans look with disdain at overcooled US buildings, kept to near meat-locker temperatures, where a blast of cold air can shoot across city sidewalks as people come and go, and extended indoor appointments necessitate a sweater even in the height of summer.Air conditioning is what those unsophisticated Americans do! Europeans swelter like civilized people. That's one aspect, but that also isn't policy. People turning their noses up at air conditioning because of America hatred isn't a sufficient explanation, especially when it's hot out and people flock to stores to buy air conditioners. The same article, though, provides the real reasons:
During Europe's heatwave in July, Floriana Peroni's vintage clothing store had to close for a week. A truck of rented generators blocked her door as they fed power to the central Roman neighbourhood hit by a blackout as temperatures surged. The main culprit: air conditioning. The period - in which temperatures hit 40C - coincided with peak electricity use that came close to Italy’s all-time high, hitting a peak load of more than 59 gigawatts on 19 July. That neared a record set in July 2015. Intensive electricity use knocked out the network not only near the central Campo de Fiori neighbourhood, where Peroni operates her shop, but elsewhere in the Italian capital. Demand in that second July week surged 30 per cent, correlating to a heatwave that had persisted already for weeks, according to the capital’s electricity company ARETI.Their grids aren't built for air conditioning demand, and they probably can't accommodate it due, at least in part, to insane environment regulations. So what to do? Outright bans are possible, but cause political trouble when people like Marine Le Pen call for installing air conditioning in schools and hospitals, not restricting it. Bans are politically tricky, and not as desirable as scare tactics. - and Fance in particular seems to love scare tactics:
French authorities pushed back. Energy minister Agnčs Pannier-Runacher said large-scale air conditioning would heat up streets with the machines' exhaust, making heat waves worse. "It's a bad solution," she told reporters during the last heat wave, flanked by the perspiring prime minister, François Bayrou . "We should air-condition for vulnerable people to give them a break, but on the other hand we shouldn't do it everywhere."Ah, so control access to air conditioning to avoid heating up the cities during heat waves. There has been some research that indicates that large-scale air conditioning can increase outdoor temperature - by a couple of degrees centigrade under ideal conditions. Even if true, this is a preposterous reason to restrict air conditioning given that at worst it's a rounding error on urban heat islands. But then, of course, there's the real scare tactic - that air conditioning will kill you:
In France, media outlets often warn that cooling a room to more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit below the outside temperature can cause something called "thermal shock," resulting in nausea, loss of consciousness and even respiratory arrest.If this were true, much of the American population would die every year - yet they say it with straight faces. Eeeeeeeevil American-style air conditioning will kill you and broil the city. Best to let your betters in government ration it. But whatever the rationalization, the real problems are an inadequate energy grid, ruinous regulations that restrict availability while increasing costs and cultural objections. Hot weather reduces the last of these, so the governments have to step in and ramp up artificial constraints, with a healthy dose of fear to sell it to their publics. It is the European Way. So as usual, continue to reject the "we ought to be more like Europe" argument whenever it surfaces. At least we don't have die-offs when it gets above a hundred degrees.

Me, too. I know it’s a cliché, but in the dry heat of this part of Texas, I start to feel chilled around 77°, 78°.
When I go back to Michigan to visit my dad, I have to put out the winter sheets. Not only does he set the temperature to 72° (he needs it cooler at night, I don’t care about the temperature at night as long as it’s within reason; I’m sleeping and not paying attention) but the guest room is in the partially-underground basement, where it gets even colder than whatever the temperature is set at.

Europe doesn't have it, Europe has no hope of getting it anytime soon. Which means that the entire Digital Economy is going to pass Europe by and be concentrated in the US, China, and the far eastern Tech dominated countries. (Probably India as well) Which means Europe is well on its way to becoming an economic backwater, a faded theme park with castles and an uneducated 3rd world population.

When I was about to relocate the area years ago, there was a heat wave in Santa Monica. Temperatures got to 85 degrees, and people were apologizing for the uncomfortable weather. Turns out that relatively few homes there have A/C, but as a New Yorker I felt fine. Drove to the Valley about 15 miles away, and as we were driving there I'd see the outside temp gauge in my car tick up to...105. With humidity.
We promptly decided to get a place on the West Side and call it a day.

Go find an older laptop; load it with Mint, and Brave, and use your phone as a wifi hub, and browse the Internet ad-free. And it needn't cost any more than a tank of gas.

Well, then, this cannot just be a summer phenomenon. To help the poor people of France and protect them from thermal shock, I propose that they restrict heat in the winter so that the indoor temperature can be no more than 14 degrees above the outdoor temperature. That way, when the French venture outside, they don't have to worry about nausea, loss of consciousness, or respiratory arrest.

I regularly watch financial news on Bloomberg, and over the past couple of days you've seen a huge vibe shift there. As late as last Friday, they would pack their commentary with anti-tariff, anti-Trump 'experts'. Since the EU breakthrough over the weekend, I've noticed some fairly prominent Wall Street voices say that now they understand what Trump was trying to do, and they're saying that it could (and so far, is) absolutely working. Guests are now making Trump's case for lowering rates for him - and Bloomberg hosts are shocked.

When we visited Mrs. Wolfus No. 2's grandparents in Tucson, in June (bad idea), they had only a swamp cooler. It got the interior of the house about twenty degrees lower than outside.
Outside in the afternoon was 107.
And her grandfather *turned the swamp cooler off* when we left the house to sightsee -- afraid of fire (?!?). The house was an oven when we got back and took forever to cool to that 87. Her g'parents were not poor; I can't imagine why they didn't have at least a couple of window units.

The thermostat gets set to 72 F and he's too hot. It gets set to 70 F and she's too cold. Hank sets the thermostat to 22 Celcius. No one knows what the exact temperature is.

Leaving warmists out on their own.
A standard mantra of the climate nuts is that "this summer is the coldest summer of the rest of your life" - i.e. that each summer will be hotter than the one before, until you burn to a crisp.
They get upset when that turns out not to be true.

And her grandfather *turned the swamp cooler off* when we left the house to sightsee -- afraid of fire (?!?). The house was an oven when we got back and took forever to cool to that 87. Her g'parents were not poor; I can't imagine why they didn't have at least a couple of window units.

When I moved to the wild west, swamp coolers are everywhere, and I didn't understand why. Sure, they cool down buildings, but not like a true AC does.
And it's ALWAYS true that if you turn your system off, the amount of energy it takes to get it back to your designated temp is going to cost you as much, if not more on your energy bill.
But people still think they're saving money by turning the damn thing off.

Chicago is a market and mfg town for the Midwest and as that region has faded economically, the importance of Chicago and IL in general have declined. A lesser Detroit if you will.

The "break" line is 75.
76 and I'm still sweating.
75 and I an comfortable to cool. Mainly because of the way thermostats work. They go up 2 degrees and 2 below where it is set.
So, 76 + 2 is 78 when it comes on.
75 = 77 when it comes on. 75 takes it down to 73.
Definite comfort level difference.

My house was pretty much designed and built by the guy I bot it from, a professional maintenance engineer, in mid-sixties. Must not have been fond of heat, he put in a whole house fan. Still there, and I use it.
By mid seventies, he upgraded to built in a/c, but because of the house design he put in two separate a/c systems, one for the upstairs three bedrooms, the other the downstairs living areas. Two full size commercial systems. The master bedroom downstairs gets blowed by both.
I've had to replace each system. Cost some bucks.

FWIW, you can use forced air exhaust fans that suck through external evaporative pads that use the cool ground water to precool the air before entering the building.
Farm animals in confined spaces use such even in the winter as animals confined in spaces build up a lot of heat even in an insulated building.

I would tend to agree. Units are units and whether they are useful enough depends on their day to day practicality over time by society.

Which is why Celsius is appropriate for, say, chemistry, but not weather reports.
Fahrenheit:
0 --really cold
100 -- really hot
Celsius:
0 -- kinda cold
100 -- you're dead

I had a co-worker who lived in AZ when she was first married, and they didn't have AC, so they would soak and wring out the sheets when they went to bed to cool a bit, and they would be dry as a bone when they woke up
She also said it was essential to put plugs in the sink traps in the summer because the P-bend would dry out from evaporation and the sewer smell would get into the house.

Window tinting, yes. Also, when you park, try for shade, even if you have to walk a little ways, and put up sun shades front and back.
When I visited the surgeon on Monday, I drove under the building into the garage. There were open-to-the-public free parking spaces all over, and a door into the lobby right there. I cannot imagine why people would park out in the sizzling lot when they have shade available.

Easier to do maths on metric system calculations rather than the older Imperial units of measure. But in the same way, those old Imperial units were based on human activities for centuries to get their utility. But they make math harder for scientific calculations especially without calculators.

I’ve told this story here before, but homemade ice cream, before refrigeration, required crank-type ice cream makers. After 1926, recipes for crank-made ice cream started to disappear in favor of just making it in your home refrigerator/freezer. They didn’t experience a resurgence until the sixties (moderately) and mainly the seventies.
But the technique of not cranking, just freezing, was already known. I have a recipe from a 1916 Columbus, North Dakota, cookbook that just says to put the mix into a can and put it outside.

Works in dry climates. But a ground loop geothermal a/c unit works better if a bit pricey still. And if you have the ground to install it. Earth stays a pretty constant chilled temperature underground a piece.
Open loop work well too but you have to have paired wells or a pond to act as the heat sink.

The people who die in European heat waves are disproportionately old people, who are drawing retirement payments and medical benefits, but not longer paying into the system. The same people Euro governments are throwing into the street to free up housing for feral illegal immigrants.
You might reasonably think that the deal would be to pay into the system when young and healthy, and be paid back when old and sick. Think again.

Is that how we create nation-states? Is it merely an exercise in negative reinforcement? A sibling of mine has a dog that chews socks. Should I tell her to try recognizing Palestine, so the ’doodle knows she’s serious?
“Recognizing Palestine” has indeed become some sort of standing threat, which I assume bothers Palestinians greatly. We’ll give you self-government, but only if the Jews make us so angry we don’t know what else to do.
Does the reverse work as well? Will Sir Keir welcome Israeli annexation of the West Bank if the Palestinians bother him enough?

Next up, item 379, "Pole Dancing Goddess", by Giuseppe Giovanni. A lovely 15 inch replica of the original, cast in plaster. This would be a great gift to a family member, or perhaps an Ottoman merchant you do regular business with. While it typically retails for 15 denari, we're going to get a little crazy this evening and start at 11. Hurry, though, we only have 37 in stock, and at these prices, they won't last long.

This Raffaello guy, if he doesn't up come up with a case of syphilis and a drinking problem, has a shot, a real shot at dethroning that Kincade guy as the #1 shopping mall artist.
This painting is a mind blow. Such control over the dynamic range of the light, high and to the left, and how it plays out across Bindo's face and clothing. Never harsh, detail where it must be, shadows that make those details essential. The composition places the chin dead center and in immediate tension the right eye. Such subtlety, serenity. Great pick CBD. I can only partially imagine what it would be like to see this painting in a museum.

Tuesday on MSNBC’s (MSNSDAP) “All In,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was using “food as a weapon of war.”There is absolutely zero political gain that I can see in publicly stating this. Other than perhaps him thinking that attacking Bibi is a way to somehow ding President Trump as some sort of genocidal war criminal, given the undeniable and indisputable facts on the ground since the October 7th Barbaric mass assault and pogrom out of Gaza aimed at Israel, and indeed since Islam itself matastasized almost 1500 years ago, this is just naked Anti-Semitism. Or is he trying to impress the Islamic Republic of Dearbornistan and Mogadishuappolis for a potential run at the Democrat nomination?
The Media Pulled the Same Famine Hoax in Yemen Before Gaza. . . Since the famine began, Yemen’s population shot up from 30 million to 39 million. . . . . . It was all lies. It still is. The same tactics used in Yemen, photos of sick kids who look like they’re starving, and false claims of famine no matter how much aid goes in, are being used in Gaza. The same lie. The same hoax. For the same purpose. To aid Islamic terrorists.Funny how the Gazan population actually boomed over the past 20 years since Israel's insane withdrawal chasing the HunterBiden crackpipe dream of land for peace. If Israel is committing genocide, they're obviously doing it wrong. Remember, this has absolutely zero to do with ending starvation, it has everything to do with the dismantling – way too gentle a word – the demolition of the State of Israel, even if it means the death of every Jew there and indeed every Jew on the planet as can be seen with assaults on Jews all over the world demonstrates. That's what "Globalize the Intifada means: Death to the Jews. The erasure of Israel's border and supplanting its population with Muslims is incidental.
This is what Chris Van Hollen is actually saying. So if the Mossad took this filthy despicable, blood-libeling shitstain out, it would be justifiable and frankly, I'd cheer it.
And in a similar vein, vis a vis hypocrisy and lying, sure as night follows day, in the wake of the multiple victim shooting in Manhattan yesterday, the gun grabbers emitted their predictable hideous cloud of flatus:
On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Assemblyman Alex Bores (D) said that “it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons.” But “we shouldn’t be in these discussions on the ticky-tacky aspects of the specific guns. We need to be taking action to keep people safe. Exactly where we draw the line on exactly what kind of weapon, we can discuss.” Bores said, “I think it’s, as our governor said this morning, it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons. Now, this one was a pistol and a different one, and I expect many of my colleagues in elected office to pick at specific distinctions in weapons. But what’s clear is no one should have a magazine that can shoot 30 rounds. No one should have such a high-powered and maneuverable weapon and be able to walk around city streets or drive it into our state.”This Bores, like every other leftist drone bores me to fucking tears with their predictable bullshit Meh, the deadliest assault weapons out there are Leftism, and Islam. We can bandy about the Ticky Tacky features of the Democrat Party but there you have it.
So, not to minimize the tragedy of the shooting, but as I mentioned yesterday and it bears repeating we've heard nothing from Bores or any other Democrat about the 11 people stabbed to death at a Michigan Walmart over the weekend. What about common sense Steak Knife control? Meh, what we desperately need is common sense Democrat Control. Had we only abolished that Party post-Appomattox, think of all the pain, misery, death, destruction and dislocation we could have prevented?! It is to weep. Alas, we cannot go back in time. But we can go forward. And yet we have these items, the first of which starts across the pond:
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended the censorious Online Safety Act and insisted Britain “had free speech for a very, very long time” and will continue to do so. Critics argue the legislation marks the end of that tradition, which is already ineffective due to laws allowing people to be prosecuted for “grossly offensive” communications and other forms of expression by enabling widespread censorship under the guise of “online safety.”The Online Safety Act, passed by the formerly governing Conservative (Tory) Party government but only effective from Friday, grants the unelected regulator Ofcom the power to enforce a “duty of care” on websites. Under this framework, social media companies must remove content Ofcom deems harmful or face fines of up to $24 million or 10 percent of global revenue, whichever is higher.Ofcom’s definition of “harmful content” is broad, encompassing criticisms of government policies, including immigration and COVID-19 measures—not just sexually explicit content, as its defenders imply. Zia Yusuf, of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, described the act as plunging Britain into a “borderline dystopian state.” Farage himself has pledged to repeal the legislation if Reform takes over the government.Social media platforms are now required to verify users’ ages and adjust algorithms to block inappropriate content for children. Critics argue this effectively censors conservative viewpoints and dissenting opinions, as the rules apply extraterritorially, potentially impacting American users. Notably, it has already restricted not only minors’ access to pornography, but also parliamentary debates on Muslim grooming gangs.Speaking of Starmer, we have our own greasy bastard of a Starmer-bahnfuhrer who fancies himself as Lord And Master:
In a move that reeks of political opportunism and arbitrary censorship, California’s legislature is advancing Senate Bill 771, a measure that would impose draconian fines on social media platforms for failing to suppress what state officials label as “hate speech.” “Under the bill, which sits in the state Assembly after being passed by the Senate in May, large social media companies will be subject to legal challenges and fines if their algorithms ‘relay content to users’ that violates the state's civil rights protections, such as hate speech. Platforms that knowingly violate the law could face fines up to $1 million. The bill would also implement a separate ‘civil penalty’ fine of up to $500,000 for reckless violations. Which is curious, because one might think that freedom of speech is a “civil right” and no one has a right to push “unlikeable” speech off the web. Additionally, some might wonder how anyone has a so-called “right” to force his neighbor to pay for the creation and operation of a government “speech police” gang. Mandt notes that, as one might expect, the typical “don’t say anything bad about LGBTQ – ‘bad’ being whatever government defines as 'bad.'"
Too bad Greasy Kid Stuff is a white, hetero male. Maybe CNN can turn him into a black drag queen, or POSSIBLY a black drag queen like they turned the Manhattan shooter into a POSSIBLY white guy? Like AL Sharpton is possibly Casper the Friendly Ghost. I seem to recall a few years back after a mass shooting, some schmuck came up with the great idea of schoolrooms stocking up on canned goods and hurling cans of food at a shooter. Wonder how Van Hollen felt about that vis a vis using food as a weapon?! Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Blue States Try To Stop Trump Admin From Investigating Food Stamp Fraud
When I was a child, my family had to go on food stamps for a while. I cringed every time we went to the grocery and Mother Poppins had to pull them out to pay the bill, because to me, food stamps were a sign not only that you were poor, but so poor that you had to depend on a government handout in order to eat.
This country needs a lot of things, but a return of public shaming is right in the top 5.

This is Reason #1 why the Conservative (Tory) UK should get nowhere near the levers of power in the UK again. They had eight years of uninterrupted control to get Brexit done, but they were just as against it as Labour. The "Conservatives" would be the political equivalent of NeverTrump GOPers in the US - if not even more liberal than that.

WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today launched a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) campaign to recruit brave and heroic Americans to join ICE as federal law enforcement agents and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets.
“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”

Maybe grenades. They're fun.
My niece's school had this school shooter plan, that they practiced, where kids would each grab something heavy (a book, or get to the gym and grab balls, bats, etc.) to then all throw these at the shooter should he/she breach their locked/barricaded classrooms (they also had planned communication between teachers and locked doors/escape routes determined). The idea being that they kill more by picking off hiding/cowering individuals -- make them deal with a barrage of projectiles and moving/fleeing targets.
Sad that this was necessary, but it sounded really well thought out and aggressive, which is key after witnessing police fail at Columbine and Uvalde.

The plight of children is irrelevant--I don't care Margaret.
Their parents agreed to their death, hoped for their death, prayed for every bit of their gruesome, horrible, painful deaths, when they agreed to the war.
We should not spare their parents the consequences of their choice, nor worse, encourage them to seek war by exempting their children from the conflict.
When you choose war, you choose the risk of annellation of your entire people.
Sparing you from that possibility only encourages more war.

That’s the entire thing, I didn’t even know I had it until it started with the popups.
I’ve got a 5000 series AMD CPU without an NPU, so I didn’t believe it would add CoPilot to the system, but it did.
They screw you, like a lot of software over notifications. You want to have the app notify you of some important things, like “Your order is ready, come get it” on a restaurant app, but no, they have to abuse that and send you notifications about all the great coupons and discounts they offer you.
Instacart is a damn spamming nightmare because of that cheat.
Microsoft is the same way, if I turn off something because it’s being abused then I don’t get the benefits of what it’s supposed to do.

Call your reps. This is genocide. The US should have no part of it. Cut off all aid to Israel.
Starve people then put out food traps. Kill them in cold blood trying to get food. It is how animals are treated.
this is designed to satisfy the sadists in the IDF and well as bibi and his Frankenstein coalition. I heard a report over the weekend about what the doctors are seeing there. They say, on any particular day, all the wounds are similar. One day, they've all been shot in the head, another day they're all shot in the torso, another day they're all shot in the testicles, etc.
Our country is committing evil acts by arming Israel. This issue lost the election for the Democrats.

There are very few "good people" left in the UK, and there's no mechanism to force a snap election, except for the government itself to call for one. It happens when the rest of the government wants to get rid of a bad leader and save themselves - but when a party knows they're going down for good no matter what, then the incentive is for them to hang onto power as long as possible and steal as much as they can while they can.

Convincing them that they must only vote for the purest, most righteous and upright of candidates.
That there is some measure of judgment stored up in Heaven that accounts for your political voting.
It's fucking retarded.
You think sex scandals are the exclusive foible of conservative politicians? If you watch the news, that's all you'll see.

The gunman double-parked outside the tower at 345 Park Avenue, strode into the lobby with a cheap AR-15-style rifle, and killed three people, including an off-duty police officer. He took an elevator to the 33rd floor and fatally shot a final victim before turning the gun on himself. The episode was over in minutes. Despite New York’s stringent gun laws and the office building’s tight security, law enforcement officials and legal experts said, the shooting — the deadliest in New York City in 25 years — may have been all but unstoppable.

I agree. And the reason we're seeing all of these outbreaks of the most radical kinds (especially the pro-islamist jew hate) is because all of the moderating influences are dropping out of the party. They're not saying a lot about it, they're just getting fed up with it and quitting. So the core left is getting more and more radical, while they also keep getting smaller and smaller. They're going to end up with a Party made up of AWFL's, gay white twinks, Islamic fundamentalists, and Angry Black Women.

Well, it eventually gets to the place where the PM’s position is untenable.
The party starts to revolt against leadership because they are worried they won’t win their reelection.
It’s also forced if the government loses a vote for major legislation in parliament, say a budget bill or something, or a vote of no confidence, but Labour’s majority is so large that will probably never happen.
The best they can hope for is that Starner drags the party down so far that they force new leadership and that new leader calls a snap election in order to receive a mandate of their own.
The Tories have gone through that exact cycle several times over the past 15 years.

He understood, as a realist, that he had been the cause of which Trump was the effect.
His vanity and self___, I’m guessing, must have suffered a tremendous shock.
Trump was a fluke, a hoax, an impossibility. He had to be exposed as both a monstrous aberration and a depraved departure from his predecessor’s enlightened ways.
Obama wanted his mojo back.
With the collusion scandal, he got it. On the day he left office, he was more popular with the public than he ever had been, while Trump’s popularity plummeted.
Was the elaborate charade worth it? Maybe so -- only the former president is privy to his own internal states.
But on July 23, Gabbard referred his case to the Department of Justice for potential criminal investigation.
... In other words, Obama's feelings were hurt because 2016 was a repudiation of his presidency.

WTF happened to women?
So much has been said about the black youth going bad by the lack of fathers.
What family dynamics have caused women to act out so badly?

The gunman double-parked outside the tower at 345 Park Avenue, strode into the lobby with a cheap AR-15-style rifle, and killed three people, including an off-duty police officer. He took an elevator to the 33rd floor and fatally shot a final victim before turning the gun on himself. The episode was over in minutes. Despite New York’s stringent gun laws and the office building’s tight security, law enforcement officials and legal experts said, the shooting — the deadliest in New York City in 25 years — may have been all but unstoppable.

Top Story
- What's up with Steam and Itch.io suddenly vanishing all those games and books and art and stuff? (The Verge) (archive site)
Proximate cause: Visa and Mastercard deciding they have to act as global fun censors.
Distal cause: Some group of Australian Stalinist nutcases called Collective Shout who have for years believed they have to act as global fun censors.As a result of Collective Shout's actions, in tandem with the payment processors, over 20,000 games, books, comics, and other creative works - confirmed via the Internet Archive - functionally ceased to exist on the site (though purchased content remains in users' libraries so long as it doesn't violate itch.io's new guidelines), imperiling the creators who depend on sales from itch.io. In addition to NSFW content, notable projects that didn't have the tag were caught up in the purge as well.
Anything not mandatory is forbidden.Whenever a platform announces a blanket ban on adult content, LGBTQ+ creators are almost always disproportionately affected, harming queer artists and invariably queer people.
This is true, because "queer" artists and "queer" people are sex-obsessed lunatics, but I'll support them before a bunch of Stalinist fun censors who are probably from Melbourne anyway.
Update: Nope. Sydney. Well, I moved out of there just in time.

- AMD finally announced a Ryzen 9000 12 core chip with a 65W TDP. (Tom's Hardware)
The Ryzen 9 Pro 9945 is a lower power Ryzen 9900X.
The company also has - I only learned this today but it was announced a couple of months ago - the Epyc 4545P, which is a Ryzen 9000 16 core chip with a 65W TDP.
This is aimed at small servers, but it goes in Socket AM5 boards, the standard for AMD's desktop chips.
The 9950X, the full power desktop model, uses 170W of power by comparison. But it is 20% faster on average.
- Corsair has announced its own version of the Ryzen AI Max mini desktop PC. (Liliputing)
These are really aimed at running AI on large models on your own hardware, because they can give you 128GB of video RAM for not much money.
I'm a little surprised that so many companies are bringing out models given that, at the price of $2000 for a 128GB model, there wouldn't seem to be that large a market.

TweakTown has an article up about Visa's response to this adult material + payment processors thing:
https://tinyurl.com/4c3whvw6
It's not great.
My thoughts: The credit card companies have so much data on each user, they already know the age of the cardholder. The sensible thing to do would be to have a flag on a vendor: "Offers adult material". If that flag is set, check the buyer's age and the region. Is the buyer of legal age to purchase adult material in that region? Yes? Let the transaction go through. Done.
The fact that the CC companies are involving themselves with their own customer's business dealings in a "prior restraint" sort of way means this is about a lot more than just age verification. This is about generating fear, and thus wielding control on a large scale.
Combine this with a trend of the "Know your customer" and "Know your customer's customer" laws and regulations in the USA and Canada (and probably worldwide knowing how these things tend to go) and the efforts to discourage the use of cash...
Well let's just say I'm starting to have dark and dystopian thoughts that are as black as my coffee this morning.

The short version of a link for videos for Youtube (using the link you pasted) is as follows:

So:
Base url (up to and including the final forward slash)
plus:
Video ID
You get this by right clicking the video in Youtube and selecting "Copy Video URL".
When you paste it, strip out everything after the video ID, starting with the "?" which indicates "Parameters to follow" in a URL. All of that is unnecessary extra information.
May this be helpful to you and others here as well.

As the back story involves a serving US Senator as well, it should have national attention. And as the serving US Senator is aligned with the Governor who is widely expected to run for President in 2028, that increases the fun factor. But will fly under the radar.

The province's Conservation Officer Service said in a social media post that the attack happened on Saturday around 11 a.m. PT near Smithers, B.C., about 670 kilometres northwest of Vancouver. The service said the man was working near Lake Kathlyn when the animal approached and swiped his upper body.

The bad news: We might be losing three of our trees. One of them doesn't have a top half anymore, two of them have most of their limbs dangling by strips of bark. My parents lost a tree that they planted the year they moved into their house, when I was a little older than Lil Pooky is now.
The good news: We had so much help today! My in-laws came over with their pickup truck, my high school chemistry teacher and his son (Pooky's best friend growing up) stopped by with chainsaws and spent the afternoon cutting and hauling away. Church youth groups roamed around, helping anyone they spotted. One pickup even stopped and asked if we needed water. Trees did hit houses on a street five blocks from us, but no one got hurt, thank God!
We got a lot done today, now we just need to know the assessments on the trees.

But not as great disappointment and aggravation as the next (?) Summer when they kept playing only Jose Feliciano's lightmyfire lightmyfire lightmyfire lightmyfire.

At a university when I was 20, I was one of very few females in all male pre-med classes. 100 to 3 ratio. I am not ugly and could not understand why not one guy asked me out. I was ready. Was it my redneck accent? Rancid BO I was unaware of? My husband, whom I met a year later, said they were intimidated. Well, he sure wasn't!
One guy, finally!, whom I would have run away with except he sadly died (seriously) of cancer months later. It was instant chemistry. A first. Anyway, he seemed interested at the health clinic, and obviously not ill at the time.
I was taking his vital signs, which were normal. He joked that his BP might be high. Why? He said that "anyone who looked at me would have their BP rise." He was teasing, but now this would mean prison, right?
Bf/husband I knew from some keggers/friends. We never had the awkward first kiss because he kissed me with no warning at a party. The death sentence for him? No one else did this prior, but he said he could not resist. I kissed him back.
I needed to report this to the ONT app.

I don't say this lightly because I've seen stellar performances in my life, but this whole thing is in a whole different level of excellent. This is the best band I've ever seen and it's not even close.
Now about those donations...

I was oblivious to most flirting,as I had a lot of male friends, and that's all they were. For parties and concerts. I was spaced out, man.
I certainly did not think about boobs bouncing and the things those girls did in the video. Or play coy or games. Insane!
These girls are totally cracked to be #MeToo and now #MeWant!

At a university when I was 20, I was one of very few females in all male pre-med classes. 100 to 3 ratio. I am not ugly and could not understand why not one guy asked me out. I was ready. Was it my redneck accent? Rancid BO I was unaware of? My husband, whom I met a year later, said they were intimidated. Well, he sure wasn't! . . .
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at July 29, 2025

I was not intimidated by the girl who became Mrs. Wolfus No. 2. It helped that I had known her for a while and we had talked considerably at SF conventions. Then, on our second date, she asked me point-blank if I was after her body.
I said, "Yes."
Things developed well after that.

Back in the day at Dahlberg Arena at U of Montana. The student section would toss items on to court when opposing team members were announced. So when Air Force played there, paper planes were toss, Montana State bobcats, kitty litter bags ended up on the court.
The best was when Idaho showed up and potatoes were rolled onto to the court. One year an Idaho player flipped off the students. Next thing he knew there were dozens of potatoes thrown at the Idaho bench. It was mayhem. It was like a WW II naval beach shelling. Players were ducking, falling on the floor or running away.
The team got a technical foul to start the game and the days of tossing things on the court were over.

I have a close friend, an attorney, who has a daughter who is drop dead beautiful. Period. Believe this. He told me that regular guys, the kind who might make a good son in law, NEVER asked her out because they reasoned that "a girl who looks like that like that would never go out with ME." So they never tried.
He told me that all the guys who DID ask her out were "cocky bastards" whom he didn't much like.
P.S. The young lady is happily married now & the mother of two kids. So, I guess the situation sorted itself out somehow.
The fact that her parents were wealthy probably played into the intimidation factor as well.
Btw, KC Chefs owner Clark Hunt has a daughter who could be a professional model. Probably take a lot of social courage to ask HER out.

Do they say why? I thought they made the decision after the G7 riots in Seattle way back when that it was not legal to prevent civilians from having protective equipment from riot control agents
Which these masks were not, and in fact appear to be only capable of preventing any meaningful protection from chemical agents while looking really cool

The best was when Idaho showed up and potatoes were rolled onto to the court. One year an Idaho player flipped off the students. Next thing he knew there were dozens of potatoes thrown at the Idaho bench. It was mayhem. It was like a WW II naval beach shelling. Players were ducking, falling on the floor or running away.
The team got a technical foul to start the game and the days of tossing things on the court were over.

When sons were in college I almost killed Coach K. I was yelling at him from a balcony about 30' above his sorry self and nearly lost my balance. After the refs helped his team beat ours by one point. We would have both died but it would have been totally worth it!

"The big one" here will be an interesting event if it happens. Biggest insurance casualty in human history, but probably not many dead. Lots of hassle. Given the decline in the competence and sense of the US population, and the astonishing transformation of one of the world's best governments (CA) into the state it's in now, things will be much much worse than they need to be. Water, some food, batteries, all I think I need. Ammo and gunzzz - far in excess of needs.
Fun fact: in 2007, with 3 major wildfires in the county, and nearly a quarter million evacuations, the poh-lice and sheriffs had a tiny handful of incidents to respond to. The national (and especially urban) degradation, at least back then, still hadn't yet destroyed this place, in that sense.

The degree of ignorance this woman displays is breathtaking, but a worse characteristic is that there is actually a lawyer, who supposedly passed the bar exam, is willing to file this heaping pile of bullshit as a lawsuit.
There is no way in hell that the Blue Angels would break the sound barrier in a performance. At the performance altitude, that action would have shattered thousands of windows.
It's another example of the dumbing down of America. During the shooting incident in NYC, a police spokescritter explained that they found, in the suspects car, "a revolver and spare magazines". It's not that people make these errors, it's that supposed " experts" are so damned stupid. A lawyer should know enough to distinguish between a sonic boom and loud noise. Someone in the POLICE department should have enough firearm familiarity to know that a revolver does not use a magazine.
The Elite class is the Idiot class.

And GSP set the all-time record for consecutive 90F days today, a 39 day run. The old record was 38, set in '93.

And I got pissed off at Mrs. Duke this afternoon. Happened to notice the voltage had dropped to 113V on one leg, 227V line to line. That's the high demand peaking late afternoon. I remember voltage was getting low back in the late '90s on one phase out in the shop. It was 116V, and I thought that was too low.
It's this stupid green shit thanks to Biden. God, I hope Trump and Zeldin manage to roll back this shit. Mrs. Duke has put out several pleas to please conserve.

Very low amplitude in the deep open ocean.
That amplitude will be... amplified... at bays with gradual drop-offs, and moreso if the bay narrows quickly like a 'V', less so if broad.
Bays and coasts with rapid drop-off are largely unaffected.

Groups/governments/inventors have been working on Earthquake Initiation and Modification since the time of Tesla.
Interestingly enough, after the US confiscated most of Tesla's papers/research after his death, they sent it to MIT to be evaluated.
And there, one Dr. John Trump with the two Ph.Ds was placed in charged of evaluating the material.
Name sound familiar? Yes, this is President Trump's most beloved uncle whom he mentions every now and then, and likely, the smartest member of the clan.
Dr John concluded that Tesla's research was quite viable... and after that everything goes quite covert and dark.

Just looking at the records. GSP area has had 138 100F days total since 1884 when records began. So, about 1 per year on average. They don't bother calculating any normals for that. From 2017 to 2023, they didn't have any, and had 2 in 2024.
Locally, I didn't have any last year at all. It got close, but didn't make 100F.

* funner fact: France's SLBM program was helped through critical hurdles by, literally, wink-and-nod US "advice" - French engineers would pass designs, testing protocols, specific problems encountered, to US engineers at meetings, and the US side would provide non-verbal cues as to their advice and answers. To avoid running afoul of laws prohibiting explicit assistance. All in the US interest. Funny, "America First" doesn't really mean anything at all, absent specifics and context.

Is the water going 500mph? You'd feel that. If it's just the wave going 500mph, no.
Flip on a light, and the wave travels at about 2/3 the speed of light in your household wiring.
The actual electrons? Maybe a couple inches per hour.
(And since it's alternating current, they just go back and forth and don't really get anywhere.)

Apparently they no longer do M2 practice on the East Miramar ranges. Counted it as a special privilege to sit on my back porch, ocean in view, idiotic CA residents all around, and hear the sweet mechanical melody of the Ma Deuce drifting over. Also almost certainly a unique thing in any major US city or suburb, these days. But haven't heard it in a while, and some guy at a shooting match in Alpine said they no longer were using those ranges for heavy stuff.

Except you are dealing with one pulse, moving at 500 mph. As it diffracts around an obstacle, the two wave fronts would meet again, and there would be both constructive and destructive interference. You might get "rays" of relative calm, and "rays" of greater pulse height. This sort of thing can be modelled in tanks.

I would think a long shallow "bank" or shelf might help - a wave will break at a certain height/ratio of height to base, expending energy. There will still be a surge, but maybe less energy?

Went outside my front door, put on my shorts... got out my surf board, put the leash around my ankle, and sat down in a lawn chair.
My Friend, Big Murph came by... 'what are you doing?'... 'waiting for the tidal wave'... well.. Murph was a Diver.... suddenly he was sitting next to me, Dive gear on, Tanks next to him... as other people got off work...
5 hours later the BBQ had been going for hours... over 100 people partying... everyone at least in a bathing suit... one guy had an inflatable rubber ducky he was wearing... 8 Hours in the next shift got off work, and the guys who had been working security came by with more beer...

A normal surface wave does not displace the water a significant depths so it contains less energy and cannot propagate as far.
That entire surface to bottom volume contains a very large amount of mass and forcing it all to shift in a small period of time stores a huge amount of kinetic energy. That energy is gradually turned into potential energy as the bottom becomes shallower forcing the water higher but then that height can dissipate energy by flowing forward and backward.
That reverse direction propagation velocity increases as the depth becomes shallower is what also causes the water level to drop before the wave hits.
Eventually the forward motion along with the height forms a wave.

The girl Golden they have now is a bit looney, as she came to live with a 9mo old and toddler. The result is crazy when we visit, but she may be ok without us (she bonded with me as a puppy, she thinks).
She'll be put to the test soon as the 3rd is en route.
My DIL took a photo of their Bailey Boy next to her sleeping 3mo old son. She was in the shower. His look was saying, "Well YOU were not watching him, so I am!" He looked po'd at her.

Thanks to 6 months of crazy level stress, I'm about 3 or 4 pounds from my goal weight.
I sent one of my Mother's dearest friends 2 large boxes today. They were in the convent together and probably knew each other for 60 years. She wanted something to remember Mom by so I sent her purse, sunglasses, CD's and most of all my Mother's address books, all of her greeting cards, stickers, and photocopied jokes and stories Mom would include in her cards.
I'm sure she'll love all that.
I'm in Canada, she's in Michigan, we're both just out of gunshot range of Detroit, but postage was still $80. Which was fine. A buck something for each year of friendship. No biggie.

I understand ...
A couple of things:
1) Learn to brace correctly, and wear a belt.
2) Buildup tension in your Hammies by extending your ass back as far as you can, before starting the pull.
3) That move will put your lower back into extension properly.
4) Pull the slack out of the bar before you try to break the bar from the floor.
You might video your lift from the side on so that you can see if you really are losing tightness. What you "feel" can be way different than what is actually happening.
But Bracing and a Belt is where I'd start if you're concerned.

Thats my attitude. I don't even jump on the harley during peak summer. Its been hotter than satan's ass crack out there. As far as the yard goes, I have the yard cut now. I used to like cruising around on the ride on mower at the old house. It was a half acre, half of it shaded. The yard is a lot bigger now, mostly in the sun. Now I have people used to living on the equator do it. They come in with the mower from hell and are gone in 15 minutes.

My yard is really bumpy too. And it's a corner lot, pretty large with tons of trees and statues. Idid have someone roll it with a smaller roller a few years ago. It was alright.
The biggest difference was when the old mower died. I wanted a cheap mower that would have make a blade spin after pulling the cord. I didn't need or want anything else.
The mower is about 25lbs. It's so much easier to mow the yard than with the heavier mower. I love that thing.

There are enough Ex Phys papers out there that point out the continuing need for load bearing exercises that body weight doesn't address.
Sarcopenia and Osteopenia cannot be ameliorated by body weight work.

Stronglifts 5 x 5 is also a solid program. I like the addition of dead lifts. My issue with Starting Strength is barbell cleans. IMO that is a more advanced lift and unless your form is dialed in you're risking injury.

There are enough Ex Phys papers out there that point out the continuing need for load bearing exercises that body weight doesn't address
"Convict Conditioning" has increasing levels of difficulty for 6 basic exercises. Each has 10 levels.
Bodyweight exercises can be made increasingly more difficult. Squats develop into one-legged squats. Push-ups, prison style, become one armed push-ups. Additionally, you can slow exercises down. And there are other ways to make the exercises tougher.
I used to lift. Just free weights at home. Nothing major. But I got tired of minor injuries. I love body-weight exercises though.

The guy who started 5x5 basically lifted SS's 3x5 program, and he tweaked it to 5x5, and dropped the Cleans.
I don't Clean either, and Rip doesn't advocate Cleans for "29" y/o's or infirmed folks.
He does advocate for progressive loading over time regardless of age.
But whether you do 5x5 ... 3x5 ... Barbell Medicines apoproach, or RPS ...

Good for you! Keep at it. I really can't wait to get back to it.
I have all three books. Book 2 was interesting because he wrote more about prison, working out on prison food and what it was like in the yard. He did change my thinking about protein and the remaining Whey protein I have left.
In the prison yard, the barbells were welded so they couldn't be used as weapons. So if you benched 180lbs or whatever it was, your next barbell set was 45 or 90 pounds heavier. No incremental increases. And he talked a lot about the people on steroids in prison which was interesting too.

Car batteries have been decreasing in quality for years. A 5-year warranty wasn't hard to get. Now 2 or 3 seems the norm.
I replaced one in Feb., and it just died 2-yr warranty. Fortunately the refunded it, and I got a 3-yr from Costco for less than half price (they were out when I needed it in Feb.).
AGMs are probably a better battery, but most cars regulate the voltage to less than the 14.4 they really need to charge.
Another issue is the 'smart' alternators a number of cars come with these days, that adjust their output voltage to the draw, leading to (wait for it) chronically undercharged batteries, which is a battery killer. One trick there is always drive with your parking lights on, which will generally make the 'smart' alternator put out enough to charge the battery.

If you mean the fog lights, the yellow ones down within the bumper, I often do leave them on -- esp. early in the morning or at night, or in rain or fog. They don't let me see much more of the road than do the headlights (which are quite good), but I hope they make the Buick more noticeable. It's a ruby red color, which in low light looks nearly black and makes the sedan hard to see.

He’s down in Texas, and I’m up in NY …
At Natls he’d be in a younger age group, and a lower weight class
Also, it looks like he hasn’t competed since 2022
He does Push / Pull only … no Squats
Good Bench … light Deadlift …
But he has competed in the USAPL , and for that he gets full marks !

The harness and connector were charred, so he was reluctant to put my replacement panel in, but I didn't expect the repair to be warranted, and the damage didn't look that bad to me, electrically speaking, so I said put it in. So far it's been working fine! Lucky I got the right part for it.

I had to do something similar for the '03 Buick Park Avenue when I had it, about thirteen years ago. Darn, that was a nice car; sometimes I wonder why I traded it for the newer Buick Regal.

The churchwardens, they're called. Cool-looking, and as JTB will testify, they are fine for sitting in your armchair and reading while you smoke. Otherwise they seem kind of awkward to me. But I've never had one.
I did once have a calabash, the big curved pipe made from a gourd with a meerschaum bowl. Some actors playing Sherlock Holmes have used them as a prop, including Jeremy Brett. Again, it's an awkward pipe to work with. Nowadays I seem to prefer nice straight pipes like the ones Faulkner was fond of.

I doubt they have a short wave radio and if they did, the weather here is glorious, they would have no reason to really pay attention. My hope is they check in with a nautical radio station reporting tides and currents and they hear something from there.

We had a 9.2 here in Southcentral Alaska back in '64.

I rode out a 7.1 with an epicenter maybe five miles away from me back in 2018. I'm pretty blase about earthquakes... we get perceptible ones several times a year.

OK, that's pretty cool. I'd be curious to know how durable they are and the operating expense (TCO), but that's a damn fine machine.
See Minsky
Last I knew they were made in Austria for work in mountainous areas.
Several decades ago I ran one on a cliff-side by the railroad along the Feather River out of Pulga, California.
We were building a dam on the rock cliff-face to contain a creek.
The one I was running only had wheels on two of the legs. The other two arms/legs were used to pull it along with the backhoe bucket. It took a little coordination to operate.
They will climb.

Polls and Liberal Gasbags Agree: The Future is MAGA
Fox "News" affirming my gender choice to cancel cable and identify as a Non-Fox-Viewer:
Claiming the Democrats have a "brand problem" or a "messaging problem" is "sugar-coating" the problem, Fox "News." They have a policy and results problem, not a messaging problem. Fox News continues to disappoint. They continue to be useless liberals playing conservative dress-up.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin isn't sugar-coating his party's problems. "We do have a brand problem," the DNC chair said in a recent Fox News Digital interview.
Fox "News" once again spins for liberals:
And in what's starting to sound like a broken record, the Democratic Party hit another historic low in a national poll this past weekend. Only a third of those questioned in a Wall Street Journal survey said they held a favorable view of the party, with 63% holding an unfavorable opinion of the Democrats. That's the highest unfavorable rating for the party in a Wall Street Journal poll dating back 35 years. While the favorable ratings for President Donald Trump (45%-52%) and the Republican Party (43%-54%) in the poll were nothing to brag about, they weren't as deeply underwater as the Democrats' favorability. "The Democratic brand is so bad that they don't have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party," said longtime Democrat pollster John Anzalone, who conducts Wall Street Journal polling along with veteran Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio.
The Wall Street Journal survey, which was conducted July 16-20, is the latest this month to indicate the plunge in Democratic Party polling. Just 28% of Americans viewed the party favorably, according to a CNN poll conducted July 10-13. That's the lowest mark for Democrats in the entire history of CNN polling, going back over 30 years. And just 19% of voters questioned in a Quinnipiac University national poll in the field July 10-14 gave Democrats in Congress a thumbs up on how they're handling their duties, with 72% disapproving. That's an all-time low since Quinnipiac University first began asking congressional approval questions in their surveys 16 years ago.
In other words, they had an 8 point lead in 2018 and only a within-the-margin-of-error three point lead now. How is that a silver lining? CNN's poll analyst Harry Enten reviewed similar polling a couple of weeks ago and does not agree this is a "silver lining" at all. So CNN is less of a partisan Democrat cheerleader than Fox "News." In other bit of good news for Democrats, this time from bitter NeverTrump low-T failure Chris Stirewalt, Democrats have regained their lead among young voters.
But there is a silver lining in the poll for Democrats. By a 46%-43% margin, voters questioned in the survey said they would back a Democrat for Congress over a Republican. ... In Wall Street Journal polling eight years ago, Democrats held an eight-point advantage, a year ahead of a blue wave that swept the party back into power as they grabbed the House majority in the 2018 midterms during the first Trump administration.
The good news for Democrats in the latest comprehensive survey of Americans' partisan identities is that among young voters, the party has regained a lead, a 6-point advantage among those ages 18 to 29. The bad news: Four years ago, the advantage was 32 points.So much good news for the Democrats! I saw people claiming that Gen Z males were now the most Republican demographic in the country. That's not right, because Gen X edged them out. But Gen Z males are nearly as Republican now:
Political PollsThe bloated father-disappointing NeverTrump shill Chris Stirewalt has even more good news:
@PpollingNumbers New - Gen Z Party poll (Man) 🔴 Republican - 52% (+1
🔵 Democrats 34% Pew research
America has been getting more Republican, something you didn't need an exhaustive survey of 5,022 adults to tell you. In 2020, 49 percent of Americans identified as Democrats, compared to 43 percent of Republicans. The next year, in the wake of the Jan. 6 sacking of the Capitol and Donald Trump's effort to overturn the election results, Democrats widened their advantage to 10 points, 52 percent to 42 percent. But since then, it's been a steady retreat for the blue team. ... By 2024, Republicans actually enjoyed a 1-point advantage, 47 percent to 46 percent, a nearly perfect indicator of the results of the presidential election that fall. Now that the dust has settled, we find the parties in pretty much the same position, with Republicans holding that same 1-point advantage, but both parties a tick lower, 46 percent Republicans, 45 percent Democratic and 8 percent declaring themselves pure independents.Even bitter left-wingers are at least acknowledging the country is shifting to the right. Chris Matthews, who infamously felt a "thrill up his leg" just thinking about Obama (who himself "made love to men, but only in my fantasies"), notes that the nation is trending to the right, largely because of Trump's "strength."
Chris Matthews has a rare moment of clarity.

They may be right this time. The Democrat Party abandoned all policy and issue politics with Obama. "Hope and Change" was pure advertising with nothing solid behind it. People just projected themselves onto Obama.
Biden won on the "Trump Is Evil" message entirely. And, this time around, neither he nor Harris would make any promises or talk about any real issues while campaigning - they were relying entirely on women and minorities being terrified of Trump. It worked with women, not so much with minorities.
Democrats have no star politicians like Obama or Clinton, they have no winning issues and they have no record of success -- all they have is "messaging."

I don't think it is. Just based on my personal anecdata. And this is going to piss certain folks here off that are really, really tied into their generational superiority.
I think its ironic that Trump - a 70+ year old dude - embraced Gen X. And maybe Gen Z. And those Boomers that realized they didn't have a party anymore.
We are living in chaos. No doubt. But I think its a reaction to the obvious idiocy we've tolerated for a few decades. Two dozen Muslims crash airplanes ? Lets monitor the credit cards of the entire country.
A white asshole cop kneels on a dying drug dealing black ? Lets burn everything down for a summer. A bio-engineered flu that we paid for gets released by the Chinese ? Lets all stay home for a year.
I don't think its Trump. I think we've hit an inflection point on Stupidity. Our parents should have hit it when they got to the point of Affirmative Action. But they didn't.

Nothing is free. On this, I am confident. Although I'm no credentialed doctor.
To burn fat, you must increase your metabolism. One way is to exercise. Another is to shoot up something. Anything you shoot up must increase that metabolism.
Does anyone think that metabolism is infinite ? I'm sure people shooting Ozempic do. You're making your body burn hotter, to lose pounds, without doing any work.

I agree that this shift among Gen Z feels much bigger than Trump.
I also don't think these kids share the same politics as the Boomer Conservatives, so I expect a lot of R voters will be gnashing their teeth at the Gen Z kids soon enough. Right now, there happens to be an uneasy alliance / coalition around Trump, but that can and probably will change.

And the GOPe viewed the working class like you would a dog turd on the kitchen table.
Then there is Trump--3+ decades in the public eye as an icon to the working class; picks them up and has taken over the Republican Party.

That isn’t how ozempic works. It makes you eat less, which SURPRISE! Causes you to lose weight. The issue is 1. People who may need a kick start don’t take that time to revamp their entire lifestyle, because that is what it takes to lose weight sustainably and 2. Ozempic does attack muscle. Your heart is a muscle.
Losing weight stinks. It’s hard. It’s not fun. But the way you feel on the other end of the journey, if done right, is worth the effort. Everyone needs a hype girl sometimes during this. I am that hype girl, for those in need.

New - Gen Z Party poll (Man)
🔴 Republican - 52% (+18 )
🔵 Democrats 34%

I'd like to see the same poll, with a different question.
Democrat or hypothetical Republican without Trump or his MAGA policies (e.g., pre-2015 Republican).
I bet it collapses, with "unaffiliated" skyrocketing.

So CNN is less of a partisan Democrat cheerleader than Fox "News."
--------------
And that is why his clips are shown on all Fox talk shows than Fox's own pollsters. His clips are also all over the socials, Enten is on track to be the most famous and best regarded polls analyst simply because he reports a story he does not make it up. I wouldn't be surprised if CNN gets rid of him, he is embarrassing them.

I was thin and fit for the first 5 decades. Now I have maybe 25lbs of the genetically predisposed visceral fat. Reduced calories and sugar plus weight lifting (though lower weights, higher reps than I did in younger years, I want to avoid injury at this age) isn't doing much. Continue and be patient? Or do you have other ideas?

The leaders of Hamas always manage to get a few billion dollars into their offshore accounts. Supposedly by taking over the food supplies into Gaza, and then forcing the populace to pay them for the food.
That seems like an excellent money making scam to me, except for the question of; how do the desperately poor people in Gaza with no jobs and no skills get the money to pay the food bribes?
Does UNRWA somehow funnel billions of our tax dollars to the populace, and those dollars then quickly find their way into the hands of the Hamas gangsters?
(Any clarification of this grift would be appreciated.)

I never have considered the shot. For starters, being nauseated all the time is not appealing, nor the anal leakage I read about. Or the new going blind.
Read that Catherine Deneuve said after age 45 women either choose their face or behind (I can't imagine her saying the rude word).
I apparently chose my face, but there is only one face vs Julianana's, as she appears to be a Siamese twin (the other one is behind her). If you lose weight gradually and with exercise, you avoid looking like a bloodhound. This is my goal, anyway, and to be strong and healthy vs Oprah.

To the point where planned surgery fasting is not hours any more, but days in some cases.
Which really ups the risk for emergency stuff.
I enjoy watching what they're selling in drug commercials, and how they're selling it.
The high-school-musical dancing fat people of diabetes/weight loss injections are now morphing into kidney drugs--last week saw an ad for Jardiance (formerly swing! shuffle! hop step warrrrble POP!) saying its good for slowing down chronic kidney disease.
So, it slows EVERYTHING down?
Yikes.

A few things- I don’t know how old you are, but as we age, our bodies change and things move around. Boo hiss! Also, do not get offended by this, but if you are truly 25 pounds overweight, and nothing is shifting, chances are you are eating more calories than you think. Many of us wildly underestimate our caloric intake. Measure and write down everything you eat for 2 weeks. Don’t change anything and do not cheat, no one but you is going to see it. Licks, tastes and bites count. They are not calorie free. How you eat to fuel matters, especially if you are lifting weights. 2 to 1 healthy carb to protein, in general. You will need to add cardio into your mix. You need cardio and strength training combined. Brisk walking is fine, you don’t need to run or be crazy, but you do need to break a sweat from effort. And you need to be in a calorie deficit- but not crazy, again. No more than 2lbs a week loss to sustain. It’s slow. But steady!

But I also don't think noticing that someone married to an immigrant who got his political start working for someone famously open borders, who worked in an industry that has pushed massive immigration (VC's with tech start ups), and that that might mean they're not going to be reliably anti-immigration makes anyone a "hate filled bigot."

This is the level of my attention span. And why I cannot have a podcast, not that I'd want one. My audience would probably be perverts and I'd die and then be on websleuths.

I thought when the confrontation happened it would ruin the Republican brand. But thing is, the Dems wildly overreacted to it for YEARS. Long after everyone and anyone had moved on. That ended up damaging them a lot more than it did us. They just looked like crybabies, whiners, complainers, losers.

Cincinnati "Brawl" -- The Media Is Now Calling the Street Lynching of a Defenseless Man by a Group of Violent Thugs a "Brawl" -- Goes Viral, and Forces the Leftwing City Government to Pretend to Care About Anti-White Violence
Fox "News," of course, goes along with the "brawl" psyop.
It's a brawl, guys. When one guy is on the ground getting pummeled by a crowd, that's just a fight between equals. Just some guys having a little scuffle, is all. And when a middle-aged woman attempts to step in and shield him from the mob's vicious beating, and gets sucker-punched by a black guy and will probably have brain damage for life, that's just more "brawling." Update: Boss Moss says, per Megyn Kelly, both victims of the lynching are expected to recover. We'll see.Police in Cincinnati are investigating a viral video that shows what appears to be a violent brawl in the downtown section of the city.It does not appear to be a "brawl." It appears to be a racial lynching which occurred on the street to the apparent delight of the locals. I thought racial lynchings were wrong. Has that changed? If so, put out a memo letting us all know.
The fight happened on Friday night, between Elm and Fourth Streets, according to FOX 19 in Cincinnati. Several videos of the fight have made the rounds on social media.
The "fight."
Just a run-of-the-mill boisterous "brawl."
A man in a white t-shirt appears to be shoved to the ground by two other men and mercilessly beaten. The video then shows others in the crowd, women included, joining in on the beating. The man's head appears to be stomped multiple times.
The man continued to be battered for about 50 seconds before he was helped back onto his feet. But he immediately took a step and fell back down. Several people responded to help the man back up, and one man could be heard saying, "My man's drunk." ...I have a theory: If the races were reversed and a crowd of people were kicking and beating a black man to death, and then putting a black women into a coma, we wouldn't be talking about who the "initial aggressors" were. We'd be talking about hate-crime charges and charges for attempted murder. Even if this guy mouthed off to one of this crowd of racial lynchers, you don't get to beat someone into a brain-damaged state because they "disrespected you." Again, if this rule has been changed, let us all know. Because many of us put up with similar "disrespect" and if we're allowed to attempt to murder people for disrespecting us, well, some of us may be inclined to take you up on that offer.
A woman then appears to rush to the man's aid, but she is then attacked by the crowd. She suffers two brutal blows to the face, which send her slamming down on the pavement. She appears to be knocked unconscious after her head hits the pavement.
It is unclear who the initial aggressors were. The man and woman seen being beaten in the video are White, and the large crowd that targets the pair is made up largely of Black assailants. The identity and condition of the man and woman in the video are unknown.
The "brawl." Below: The female victim of this "brawl." I'm not sure she got to use any of her MMA training in this "brawl."
Cincinnati Chief of Police Teresa Theetge told Fox News Digital she was disgusted by the brawl.
Oh, there was a "verbal altercation" so of course the black guys are justified in lynching the white guy. I forgot. Again, I have to ask: if this is the rule, that's the rule for white guys who feel disrespected after a "verbal altercation" too, right? The "brawl:"
"The behavior displayed is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable," she said in a statement. "Our investigative team is working diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm. It's also important to clarify: this was a sudden dispute between individuals following a verbal altercation."
The beginning and different look of the Cincinnati brawl that happened late Friday night leaving three injured.

🚨🇺🇸 VIOLENCE IN CINCINNATI - AND THE GASLIGHTING BEGINS
— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) July 29, 2025
After viral footage showed a brutal mob assaulting a white people - including a woman knocked unconscious on the street - you’d think officials would lead with clarity and condemnation.
Instead, we’re already seeing… https://t.co/uEEdnyFebK pic.twitter.com/cCtTR64Y3x
The Cincinnati police chief, who recently lashed out at social media users as well as journalists for posting a clip of a white woman and man getting beat up by a mob in the city, is currently being sued by white police officers for having an alleged bias against them in their assignments. Police Chief Teresa Theetge as well as the city are being sued by several high-ranking officers for having an alleged bias against white police officers. The revelations of the lawsuit were brought to light after the brawl that occurred on Friday saw a group of minority individuals beat up a white man and woman, which ended with the woman being knocked out after being sucker punched to the ground. The man had been shoved to the ground and kicked by the group of people repeatedly. "The City and Chief Theetge have actively and systemically undertaken efforts to promote, advance, and make promotion and assignment decisions that are preferable to women and minorities, and to the exclusion of white men, including through hiring, diversity initiatives, outreach programs, promotional processes, and other steps that demonstrate both a systemic practice of discrimination against white males, and that there are background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority," the suit alleges, per Fox 19. The suit claims that Theetge discriminated against Capt. Robert Wilson and lieutenants Patrick Caton, Gerald Hodges and Andrew Mitchell by favoring minority police officers with preferable assignments on the force. The high-ranking officers also alleged that the chief skipped over them for opportunities that would have benefited their careers as well as additional overtime pay.
Five of the "Brawlers" have been charged but the obese DEI police chief won't say what those charges are. Not hate crimes or attempted murder, then.
She continued, saying the social media and media posts in general "do not depict the entire incident." "That is one version of what occurred," she said. She said posts show "one side without context."Oh, again, if we saw the "context" I'd guess we'd all agree that a group of people have the right to beat people from another race near to death. Right? Or does this rule only work in one direction, racially? Harmeet Dhillon says she'll be watching to make sure the local authorities "handle" this attack.
AAGHarmeetDhillon
@AAGDhillon Our federal hate crimes laws apply to ALL Americans. We @CivilRights will monitor closely how local authorities handle this attack. Nobody in our great nation should be the victim of such a crime, and where race is a motivation, federal law may apply.

Salty, I'm too much of a spaz to be trusted with a firearm. I'd be like Barney Fife accidentally shooting off his bullet. I fear myself with a firearm more than others with a firearm. I'd be too likely to kill an innocent bystander rather than the perp.
However, I do carry a big-ass crowbar in my vehicle. I have more confidence in my ability to wield that safely.
That said, I have a firearms-adjacent question for the Horde. In the local mall, there is a place where you can practice shooting at things with a gun that shoots out what looks like a laser. I've considered going there to boost my firearm skills, since there's not an actual projectile that I have to worry about killing someone with. Is that a viable strategy for firearms training?

I would say so, yeah.
When you're getting your head repeatedly stomped in, I think it's fair to say you reasonably believed you were in imminent danger of death or grievous bodily harm.
That said, if the White guy started it (as some claim, it's hard to tell from the videos), it becomes more difficult to claim self defense.

Yes and No.
Yes. It is sufficient for form, muscle memory, etc.
No. Because it can lead to you becoming unprepared for shooting actual live rounds.
Safety can also get compromised by complacence if all you do is 'Test' fire.
Mix it up with real world Range Time.
And ALWAYS drill with safety. Laser or no.

The request from Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) comes as a third whistleblower filed a complaint against Bove, alleging the nominee misled the Senate Judiciary Committee."

Trump needs to play the left's game and start making these federal cases with hate crime charges and other escalations, as it's a large gang attacking people, not some 1 on 1 fight. And if local law enforcement and prosecutor didn't want to hand out serious charges, than have them dismantled, as the left does when it feels police aren't treating blacks correctly.
We're only going to beat the left by strangling them with their own rules and not trying to play the above the fray or "but then they'll do it to us" bs.

First, the inversion of facts is egregious, the two attacked people are called a group while the mob is simply called individuals.

A scholarly study came out about 15 years ago proving that 70+ of the lynchings in Lousiana (which had more klynchings than any other state) were of Italians, not blacks. Apparently there was a huge anti-Italian bias in LA in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
And of the remaining 30%, the majority of the victims were just plain ol' 'white."
Needless to day, this went against the narrative and the study has been buried, never again mentioned in polite society.
Pay close attention: Lynchings were almost never just pure racial hatred -- no, lynchings were a vigilante mob meting out what they thought was correct justice to someone accused of aserious crime, but who didn't (or is likely not to) get punished. And the criminals who avoided legal justice (though clever lawyering or biased sheriffs) were ususally WHITE, not black. Blacks did usually get convicted and full-length sentences, so there was no need to lynch them.
You willnever heard any of this in the media,or even in history classes.

There was no freaking reason for them to join, except pure racism on their part. Or is it reverse racism? I can't keep up.
I was going to say the Police Chief looks as trans as the governor of Maine, but she is apparently married with children, as well as lacking an Adam's Apple. Still looks rough, like someone at least punched her in the face on her schnoz.
Not a fair fight, boys! Can I call them boys? Is that raciss? Are they unhappy because of no reparations? Because it is hot riotin' time of summer? Pure hatred, that I have never felt for people of another skin color.
I don't give a crap what the white guy said, this Walmart Wighat Webellion was not needed.

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'hypervigilant'.
I think most of us who live in big cities spend most of our time in public being pretttty vigilant, especially in the more diverse neighborhoods.

But after being assaulted twice, once in the workplace, I don't take any threat lightly. I have always looked both ways before leaving work, checked the parking lot from an inside window, carried my keys in hand, etc. But there's not a lot a woman can do if she can't carry. I always felt exposed on base, where I clearly cannot carry. I like life better now.

A decade ago my husband and I were (sadly) in Newark, NJ. A hotel near Penn Station for a business meeting he never returned to in later years. I wanted to venture out, in daylight, to get some contact solution. The policeman, with a K-9, said it was DAYLIGHTin a sneer (ye ninny) when I asked if it was safe. So we ventured forth.
The very first person we saw was a moose limb taxi driver, who ululated out his window at me. We continued through ho's and all sorts of crazy to get to Walgreen's.
Got directions from a ho in red hot pants. She mentioned a short cut through an alley and I was ok with that til my husband asked if I was crazy, and we did not go there.
And I am always on guard, since 9/11. On the way back we did not make eye contact with anyone. I can only imagine what level of hell it is now! It was one weird place in this world.

It would have been 24/7 for weeks and weeks and MAGA and Trump would be to blame.
If you normalize for population, of interracial violent felonies of black on white versus white on black you find that a white person is 50 times more likely to have a violent felony by a black person than a black person is to have a violent felony done by a white person.
This is why black on white crime, or and black crime, is not reported in the media.

Over 30yrs ago in FL a RN was attacked in the med center parking garage. And this remains a safer city than most...back then crime was very rare. The security guards would have meetings with us to show us basic self defence, like carrying our keys like prongs through our fingers, to gouge eyeballs.
I taught our sons basic defense in the event of a kidnapping. The baby son was delighted at the thought of gouging eyeballs, as he was a big fan of The 3 Stooges until we had to stop them watching due to him practicing this on his older brother.
I will not go quietly, I can tell you that. There will be DNA, and the person attacking me will be bleeding, even if I am dead.

Bulg, you know your own mind better than anyone else on the entire planet. However, I have a significant central tremor and am still not worried in the slightest about hitting what is beyond my target. I can easily tell when I am "on target" and when I am off. I am never going to take a shot when a bystander is even close to my "margin of miss".
I guarantee you can still be safely trained at whatever your age? to be effective with a lethal weapon in a self-defense or defense of others situation.
As someone said above, your mindset is by far the most important thing.
There was a great example of this 6-8 weeks ago. A female police officer pulled her weapon on a crazy black man, yet had no intention of shooting him. He walked right up to her and easily took away her weapon.
A second officer then arrived on the scene. He commanded the NOW ARMED crazy person several times to drop the weapon. After the third warning, he shot the crazy guy waving around a gun.
Part 1.

If you are the female copy in that scenario, then you should not carry a firearm.
If you can pull the trigger as required for public safety, or at least keep your weapon secure, then you can learn to safely carry for defense.

As in most things, in this case, laser firearms training, it depends...
As someone pointed out, the lack of recoil makes it less realistic, and threfore, of lesser value.
OTOH, it will get you part way, and, if followed, or used simultaneously, with actual firearms it has value.
Go look at that location and see what they do. It's unlikely that a mall operation would have it, but it IS possible to have recoil (and loud noise, another factor) with laser training. The army has done it for years. Blank adapters on the EBG*, and a laser that flashes on when the blank fires, along with laser receptors on the combatants make for fairly realistic war games.

Ghislaine Maxwell: I Will Testify Before Congress But Only If I'm Granted Immunity
But who knows.The media is suddenly interested in the Epstein story after years of burying it -- and, in George Stephanopolous's and Katie Couric's cases, actually partying with the pervert billionaire at his New York apartment. And attacking anyone who discussed the case as a PizzaGate Conspiracy Theorist. J.D. Vance noted this abrupt shift in position.
Ghislaine Maxwell will plead the Fifth Amendment in response to a congressional subpoena to testify about deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein -- unless several demands are met, according to a Tuesday letter from her attorney obtained by The Post. Defense lawyer David Oscar Markus told the Republican-led House Oversight Committee that his client's statements under oath "could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury pool." "Accordingly, our initial reaction was that Ms. Maxwell would invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and decline to testify at this time," Markus wrote to Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.). "However, after further reflection, we would like to find a way to cooperate with Congress if a fair and safe path forward can be established." The demands listed in the letter include two items that Markus deemed non-negotiable: a grant of immunity for Maxwell, and testifying outside the Florida federal prison where she's been serving a 20-year sentence since 2022 for conspiring with Epstein to abuse young girls. Before that, she had spent nearly two years in a Brooklyn detention facility, which her attorney called "one of the worst" prisons in the US. The committee should also provide copies of its questions in advance, Markus said, "to identify the relevant documentation from millions of pages that could corroborate her responses."
In Scotland, Trump also snapped back against the suddenly-QAnon-curious media. Trump made the point that everyone with a functioning brain has made for years: Given that the US Department of Justice actively framed Trump for being an agent of Vladimir Putin, clearly the DOJ under Biden would have released any derogatory information about Trump contained in the Epstein files.
Vice President JD Vance was adamant Monday that President Trump "has nothing to hide" with respect to notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, while ripping into the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations for their handling of the case. "The president has been very clear. We're not shielding anything," Vance told reporters at an event in Canton, Ohio meant to promote the newly-enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act. "The president has directed the attorney general to release all credible information and, frankly, to go and find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case," added the Ohio native. "He's been incredibly transparent about that stuff. But some of that stuff takes time." Vance echoed other top officials in stressing the need to safeguard the names of victims in any additional disclosures about Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting federal trial on sex trafficking charges. Before ascending to public office, Vance suggested the government was not being transparent about the late pedophile or his purported network of associates. Mb<"For 20 years, you had Obama and George W. Bush's Department of Justice go easy on this guy. They didn't fully investigate the case," the 40-year-old charged Monday. "They didn't show any curiosity about the case, and now Donald J. Trump is asking his Department of Justice to show full transparency." "If you want to criticize the people who aren't showing full transparency, you ought to go after the administrations that went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this case for 20 years, and the administrations that failed to show full transparency." In 2007, then-Miami US Attorney Alex Acosta cut a deal with Epstein allowing him to plead guilty to Florida state charges of solicitation of prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. Under the plea agreement, Epstein was only confined for 13 months, spending much of that period on work release. Acosta was named Labor Secretary by Trump at the beginning of the president's first term, but resigned in July 2019, days after Epstein's arrest by federal investigators, amid an outcry over the plea deal. "Donald J. Trump, I'm telling you, he's got nothing to hide," Vance insisted. "His administration has got nothing to hide, and that's why he's been an advocate for full transparency in this case."
When a reporter pressed Trump on whether he'd been briefed on his alleged inclusion in the Epstein files, he didn't hold back. He slammed former FBI Director James Comey, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Joe Biden himself as individuals responsible for running the files. "Those files were run for four years by those people," he emphasized. "If they had anything, I assume they would've released it. Those files were run by these people; they were run by my enemy. If there was anything in there, they would've used them for the election." Trump made clear that the files were handled by partisan operatives out to get him. "Those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They were run by Comey. They were run by Garland. They were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the autopen," he said. "If they had anything, I assume they would have released it." Pointing to the 2024 election as proof, Trump noted, "I was running against somebody that ran the files. If they had something, they would have released it." ... Trump went on to warn about the potential for manipulated evidence, drawing a parallel to the now-debunked Steele dossier: "They can easily put something in the files that's a phony--like, as an example, Christopher Steele... wrote a... dossier. We call it the fake news dossier. And the whole thing was a fake." Trump blasted the DOJ and other officials who controlled the Epstein records, calling them "bad, sick people," and questioned why, if damaging material existed, no one used it earlier. "Why didn't they use it when I was killing Joe? And then he gave out because he was 25 points down."

The media have been crowing that while Trump says that Bill Gates et al are guilty, the fact that nothing's come out yet means that they are innocent.
I now think that's not the case. Trump is baiting the media, getting them to beg for the release, thinking that it will obviously not hurt Trump. As Trump knows what the files contain, I'm guessing that the MFM and the Dems are in for a very nasty surprise. Trump is Rope-A-Doping them into a big trap.

Then, the get Epstein in a plea on two prostitution charges with only 13 months time. Which I might add show no records of his participation in the work release program. Whether he actually showed up at the half-way house cannot be documented.
So, either he was working for intelligence at the time, or the plea was an off the books recruitment for future intelligence work.
I could give a flying feces whether Epstein killed himself or not. It was my personal desired result regardless. I would prefer candor (even if US Intelligence, or Mossad, or MI6 are compromised in the process. This shit shouldn't happen regardless of the risks in a dangerous world.

The idea that Trump was sneaking around to bed Epstein's underage girls is ludicrous: Trump Tower, his legacy, or twenty minutes with 16 yo being sex trafficked. It makes a much sense as that false accusation of him sexually assaulting that Dem shill in a department store dressing room. That's just not him from everything I have observed. Except for Rosie, he treats women with a respect.
Once again his army of political enemies are going after him again with nothing but inuendo and smokey smears. This is exactly the BS Schiff pulled over J6. Same for the Russian coup; Trump is the only one not guilty of committing actual crimes during that.
At the end of the day I am taking him at his word because he has earned that by the totality of who he is and what he does. I am picking a side: that man is innocent.

Because there most likely will be republicans outed. Probably ones we like- and strong Trump supporters. And most messy, judges that will throw a whole lot into chaos. IF Roberts is on there, what do we do with it? We don’t get to say it tainted his bad decisions or the decisions we hate. We don’t get selective tainting. I am hoping he isn’t for a lot of reasons, but this is one. I also think if we see names like Bill Gates and nothing happens, are we are okay with just knowing it? Because I also think the evidence has been messed up enough by the Biden DOJ, any lawyer worth their salt will destroy a case against their client. So we will know, but we won’t see much happen and that is going to be hard to deal with as well. Rocks, hard places.

I suppose, but I also don't understand how any normal person can be looking at this through a American politics partisan lens.
If what I think happened happened, that would mean our Deep State through their CIA spies was sex trafficking young American girls to the wealthy and elite in the US, UK, and Israel, then using videotapes of those people having sex with teenaged girls as blackmail / leverage to control the actions of these rich and powerful people from behind the scenes.
If that's not what happened, I think it's very important to release everything so that we can see that.
Because if that IS what happened, then this is a major fucking deal, and a biggg problem that transcends normal partisan politics.
And I don't see how people throw up their hands and say "oh, who cares? Talking about Epstein only hurts Trump."

At the same time, I want everyone to steal themselves for the justification that will come from our side, too - oh well, these girls were 15, 16, 17, not 5.

I think that is probably the case. I also don't think Epstein was actually a billionaire, I think the CIA / Mossad / MI-6 / tbd set him up with money from Les Wexner (who gave Epstein full power of attorney over all of his assets for some unknown reasonable) and probably also from the money Ghislaine Maxwells father stole from the pension funds in the UK, but the entire purpose of all of this was to create a honeypot, and -- as you say -- Epstein was just the hired frontman.

fun fact: When the Astrodome was being built they wanted it to have that atomic building sign on it to encourage the citizens they had a place to go if we were under attack. The lower super structure met that standard and Roy Hofheinz wanted to make the roof also 'atomic proof' so he could state of federal financial assistance. No deal could be made.
Out came Buckminster Fuller who designed a geodesic dome that would be much cheaper to build using that newfangled metal nobody could pronounce called aluminum.
US Steal was so paranoid about it they provided the steel roof structure for free.

As I have said before, Claire Dimwit McCaskill opened the door grandly for me at a great restaurant in DC. I thanked her and her face fell a mile. Totally worth it (altho the day prior I wanted to trip Kathleen Seibelus "by accident" and my husband said no...actually he said no, that I could not ask her where the funds Obungocare was coming from. I did not tell him I was going to trip her by accident. Years later he said he wished he'd let me mess with her.

I'm not even that concerned about the people involved. Yes they should go to jail (although SoL has likely run on most crimes at this point). I assume all of our politicians are liars and perverts.
I'm more concerned that our intel agencies seem to have decided that they should be the ones running the country, not the elected officials chosen by the people.
And it's not just the Epstein thing, although I think this has the possibility of being the clearest, more easily digestible evidence of exactly who the "Deep State" is, how they operate, and how much power they have really accumulated.

I am absolutely NOT arguing that. I am saying that is what we will hear from our side trying to justify it. In fact, you will see I countered it by saying the settlement they already got, which has and will be brought up again, hardly makes them whole. And I am not at all arguing against her testifying, I am saying we should know, but we should be ready for all that comes with it. It isn’t going to be a public slaughter, we should be ready for that, too. Because that is reality, not because that is how I want it to be.

Some / many of them were legal to have sex with in some of the places where they had sex. FL age of consent is 18, NY is 17, USVI is 16, NM is 16.
And many were not legal to have sex with anywhere in the US, because they were 14 or 15.
That's not really the point here. The people who had sex with these girls would very obviously not want it out there that they had sex with a 16 year old girl in New Mexico that was flown there by Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with them, even if technically it's not statutory rape in that situation. They'd go to some pretty extreme lengths to keep that information from going public, I would think.
So the question is, who set up this entire operation and to what ends, and what did they get out of it? If the true answer is that Epstein is a lone wolf, then I can't imagine any reason the entire FBI and CIA files on Epstein are not already public.

DOJ Shuts Down Four "Dark Web" Websites Hosting "Millions of Files" of Vile Child Exploitation Content
Why did Biden leave these websites up?
Arrest the members and prosecute them. Post the names of the members so that patriotic pro-child activists can have a word with these members out in the woods in the dark and silent.
Justice Dept. shuts down dark web child abuse sites that had 120,000 members and millions of files
When FBI agents arrived outside William Spearman's home in the quiet suburb of Madison, Alabama, in November 2022, they were prepared for danger. Their search warrant was so important to the bureau that it was approved by the FBI director himself. When the agents breached Spearman's door with tactical explosives, Spearman fought back, tussling with the agents as three of his handguns remained barely out of reach. The FBI managed to handcuff and arrest Spearman, a high-value arrest, in what a top Justice Department official called "one of the most successful" prosecutions of its kind. Spearman went by the nickname "Boss" and was labeled by the Justice Department as "one of the most significant" purveyors of child sex abuse material in the world. His arrest in 2022, his guilty plea a year later and his eventual life sentence were part of an unprecedented takedown of a prodigious child abuse network. Spearman is one of at least 18 people convicted so far of leading and utilizing the dark web to share hundreds of thousands of unlawful sexually exploitative images of children. The Justice Department calls the investigation and prosecutions Operation Grayskull; it helped secure those arrests and shutter four heavily trafficked dark web sites where violent and horrific images of child sexual abuse were traded and housed. The Operation Grayskull investigation launched in 2020, when law enforcement agents noticed a spike in traffic to a dark web site suspected of hosting child abuse material. The dark web child abuse sites eventually attracted more than 120,000 members, millions of files and at least 100,000 visits in a single day, according to an FBI official who spoke with CBS News. "Even for prosecutors, it is difficult to understand how pervasive this is," said Matthew Galeotti, head of the Justice Department Criminal Division. "Because it happens on the dark web, people aren't aware of it. It's extremely troubling," he told CBS News. ... Selwyn Rosenstein was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2022, for operating a dark website for unlawful exploitative images. Prosecutors said the platform "was not simply a website; it was a large, active community of pedophiles and (abuse material) enthusiasts. And it existed in part because of the Defendant's criminal acts." Rosenstein possessed such a large quantity of abusive images, he needed to store some on a server he used to run his business, according to the Justice Department. Speaking from a second floor conference room at Justice Department headquarters in Washington last week, Galeotti told CBS News the members of these dark web child abuse sites often "earn" membership by paying a fee, "helping moderate the site" or contributing child abuse images or material.
Another unrelated (?) horror in Alabama: police discover a hidden bunker where children were held captive and r*ped and sold by the night.
In a rural stretch of Bibb County in central Alabama, past pine forests and gravel roads, deputies uncovered what a sheriff called the most disturbing child abuse case he's seen in his 33 years of working in law enforcement. Inside a concrete bunker near a home, at least 10 children were harmed as part of what the Bibb County Sheriff's Office described as a criminal operation involving sex trafficking, torture and the theft of innocence. Most of the victims were between 3 and 10 years old; one was 15, officials said.Why are their names being hidden? Meanwhile, DHS is rounding up illegal alien pedophiles that the left is determined to keep in America to r*pe our children.
"I know God's forgiveness is boundless, but if there was a limit to it, I think we've reached it," Sheriff Jody Wade said, describing the acts as beyond comprehension and the kind that fracture faith in human nature. At a news conference on Wednesday, Sheriff Wade said seven people, including family members and parents, were charged in connection with the trafficking operation in Brent, Ala., a city of 2,600 people about an hour south of Birmingham, where children were harmed in the bunker's underground structure. The charges include human trafficking, rape, sodomy and sexual torture, Sheriff Wade said. Two women and five men were charged. "I'm afraid there's going to be more victims and many more suspects," he said. A photo released by the sheriff's office shows the inside of the bunker: a stained mattress in a corner, a black metal folding chair beside it, a dirty white pedestal fan, and a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. The sheriff said that the victims did not live in the bunker, which was built as a storm shelter, but that it was where the adults held them and allowed others to abuse them.
The victims were restrained to a chair and bed, Sheriff Wade said, adding that those children who were old enough to fight back were given something to make them a "little bit more drowsy and a little bit more compliant." Sheriff Wade said that the suspects charged people to visit the bunker and abuse the children. The operation sometimes brought in $1,000 a night.
NEWARK, N.J. -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations Newark, alongside partners from Enforcement and Removal Operations, Newark arrested four illegally present child predators over the course of as many days in connection with an ongoing effort targeting illegal aliens with histories of child exploitation, titled "Operation Apex Predator." Personnel with ICE HSI and ERO Newark arrested Gerson Jose Saenz Umana, a 27-year-old El Salvadorian national, and Javier Garcia Nicolasa, a 42-year-old Mexican national, on July 21. Garcia Nicolasa was convicted on Dec. 1, 2023, of endangering sexual conduct with a child by caretaker. He was sentenced to three years in prison. He entered the U.S. on an unknown date and through and unknown location. Umana is a registered sex offender with a sealed criminal history that involves the exploitation of a child. He was first encountered near Falfurrias, Texas, in November 2012, as an unaccompanied alien child. Just days prior, on July 17, HSI and ERO Newark personnel made two other arrests of child predators living in New Jersey. Juan Villatoro Valle, from El Salvador, and Reyes Peralta-Salazar, from Mexico, both illegally present in the United States. Villatoro Valle, age 45, was convicted on Aug. 2, 2019, of sexual assault involving a victim under the age of 13, aggravated criminal sexual assault, and endangering with sexual conduct. He was sentenced to five years in prison. Villatoro Valle entered the U.S. without inspection sometime before 2000. He was granted Temporary Protected Status in 2006, but his application for permanent residency was denied in 2009. Reyes Peralta-Salazar, age 38, was arrested on Sept. 14, 2023, for criminal sexual conduct and endangering -- sexual conduct with child. He was sentenced to 180 days in jail. Peralta-Salazar entered the U.S. without inspection at an unknown date. All individuals were required to register as sex offenders in the state of New Jersey. All are being held in ICE custody pending either a hearing before an immigration judge or deportation.Democrats continue bothering DHS and ICE officials, demanding entry so that they can help Democrat voters, also known as pedophiles, escape the consequences of the law.
Congressional Democrats are demanding a tour of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Baltimore as part of the party's push to conduct oversight over the Trump administration's immigration policies. The Maryland delegation, including Sens. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), as well as Reps. Glenn Ivey (D-MD), Johnny Olzewski Jr. (D-MD), Sarah Elfreth (D-MD), and Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) were denied a tour of the George H. Fallon federal building on Monday.
Their visit comes after allegations that detainees were experiencing inhumane conditions. ICE has denied these claims. Mfume said during a press conference following the visit that the lawmakers were able to enter the building, but a director denied them a tour. "We were not allowed entry, so we had to stand outside, bang on the door, and ultimately sit in front of the door," Mfume said. "Finally, a director came out and explained to us that she had been given direction not to allow anyone, member of the House, Senate, or anyone into the facility."

The names are out there, I saw them and googled the people. I believe it was in a local article.
The parents of the children who were being pimped out were a bunch of Bubba's, as you may imagine.
However, there was an intriguing angle that I suspect is why the names aren't being republished in major news articles -- the ring leader was an immigrant who knocked up one of the Bubba's sisters. He allegedly had ties to the Surenos, a US-based hispanic (Mexican) gang who are known to traffic children.
And I would imagine most of the John's were found through the Surenos network, not other local Bubba's trying to bang their neighbors' young kids.
The whole story is revolting.

You will have a hard time convincing me that there isn't some catalyst that influences this type of debauchery and behavior. It's just to prevalent and "popular" despite the obvious wrongness. It is culturally (for the most part), legally, and morally repugnant. And, yet, it's not just a handful of lunatics. It's a good portion of the population participating.
I'd almost have to say it's a genetic deficiency. Caused by what? I think we should probably endeavor to find out. For all we know, this is a by-product of past family members doing something like LSD or Heroin back in the 60's. Fluoride in the water? Preservatives? It's something, because there sure seems to be an escalation not fully associated to the technological communication advances of our generation.

I think it was happening just as much back in the day. Shit, the '60's free love nonsense included having sex with children.
And I highly suspect (and mainstream shrinks will admit this, although they won't admit it when it comes to other sexual behavior) that this is a learned behavior, and people are heavily shaped by their early sexual experiences. Which would mean most of these child predators were themselves preyed upon as children.
But the LGBTQ lobby doesn't like when we talk too much about that subject, because it obviously has implications for them as well.

There was a lady on Rogan's podcast years ago. Pre-COVID I think. She was a sex researcher (it's a thing, I guess).
Anyways, as part of her job, she's been measuring taints for decades to test the hypothesis that there are sexual changes happening to humans, in a measurable way. And she noticed that taint length has been shrinking in both males and females for years.
Very entertaining guest who made a silly subject somewhat serious, but still made some funny jokes.
Anyways, she very much suspects the culprit is microplastics in pregnant women's diets, which are also known endocrine disrupters. She did some big meta study comparing microplastics and taint sizes and found a correlation.
I'm probably messing up some of the details, I listened to this like 6 years ago.

Isopropyl alcohol on a cotton pad, you can buy them individually wrapped. Open one and hold it to your nose when you feel nauseous, it works on me.
I had surgery one time and was really sick and the nurse told me this trick, she told me when she has sick patients she opens the alcohol wipe and has the patient smell it and it keeps them from throwing up.

He did more than "perv" on the young girl in the video, who shared an identical ankle scar with his then-14 year old niece.
He was getting a foot job from a very young looking girl in one of the videos.
Which is how the autists at 14 chan saw the foot scar, scoured the internet, and realized it was most likely Biden's niece Natalie.
Interestingly, we also have texts of Hunter complaining to Uncle Jim that Beau's ex confronted Hunter over his inappropriate behavior with Natalie and kicked him out of the house, which Hunter assured Uncle Jim was not true (the inappropriate behavior part)

Then they claim that we just have to get used to being ourselves, in this state, to feel better about being whatever sort of pervert we have become.

"Alabama resident and convicted child rapist Billy "Boss" Spearman was found guilty by a jury on Friday the 25th. He was accordingly and thoroughly raped by the Cane Corso "Maximo," the 11th Circuit's US Rape Dog, for a period of 24 hours, spanning Monday the 28th. This morning, he was dispatched by a Cossack knouter.
A spokesman for the 11th Circuit stated that "although he was kept cool and hydrated, Spearman was deceased in the 9th hour of knouting, before the 13th hour required by law. All knouting staff have been assigned training modules."

Yeah, the video is out there.
It's Hunter getting a foot job from an obviously young girl, who 4chan has (fairly conclusively, I'd say) ID'ed as Natalie Biden, the daughter of Beau Biden, who died from Agent Orange attacks in Vietnam or something.
Of course, at the time, Hunter was living with and sleeping with Beau's widow, Hallie. And Natalie also lived in the house. Then Hallie kicked Hunter out for being a low life crack head and for "being inappropriate towards Natalie" (as Hunter whined to his Uncle Jim about). I believe it was also during this timeframe that Hunter impregnated in stripper in Alabama or whatever.
Of course, no major media on either side covered any of this or anything else on the laptop.

I get that but I prefer it just be quick. Their victims need to know that they are gone forever and will never hurt them again.
And whatever justice we can dish out pales in comparison to what the other side can do.

When I was teaching Sunday School many years ago, my co-teacher told about a convicted pedophile who did find Christ and started an organization to minister to other pedophiles. Whether he stuck with it or relapsed back into his old ways, I don't know.
But, yes, these "people" seem too far gone for that. These monsters are already 3/4 of the way in Hell.

A co-worker of mine was raised in the projects of DC. He said that the reason someone was in the prison was pretty much already known. But the idea of making them do a walk of shame before being hustled into protective custody is an interesting thought.

@BillMelugin_
NEW: DHS & ICE announce a massive new ICE recruitment campaign with incoming One Big Beautiful Bill funding & a theme of “Defend the Homeland”.
To attract applicants, ICE is offering:
- $50,000 signing bonus
- Student loan payments/forgiveness
- Law Enforcement Availability Pay (25%) addition to your salary for Special Agents (HSI)
- Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime for Deportation Officers (ERO)
- Special Law Enforcement Officer Retirement benefits
Impressive.
Hope it does the job.

We have a County Sheriff's Deputy who has been placed on administrative leave and is being sued by the State of Colorado's AG Weis the Weasel for assisting ICE in the arrest of an illegal immigrant 19 year old female. Seems she and her family came here from Brazil on a Visa that expired in 2014. CO released her and is punishing the Deputy for assisting ICE. He should apply.

Where were they getting the children? All the links don't tell us and they published photos of the dungeon to hopefully find more victims, they think the kids were drugged and may not remember so they published the photos.
I pray for those children.
Posted by: CaliGirl at July 29, 2025 03:40 PM (AZf41)
It looks like the illegal alien was only charged with trafficking (acquiring clients), I don't think he had sex with the kids.
And the kids are the children of the other six adults who were arrested. The illegal alien was in some sort of relationship with one of the women, and everyone else was a family member / neighbor of hers. As far as I can tell. The details aren't fully out there yet, but the charging docs are available online.
There are likely other kids between the 6 sickos, and potentially neighborhood kids, and also potentially trafficked illegal alien kids involved.

It's been locally discovered in young children's swimming classes; where paid governmental "peers" blackmailed mothers with legal problems; daycare of pre-school children; foster care; meth heads as parents/guardians, stepparents... Often in areas where caretakers and teachers are supposed to be cleared by law enforcement agencies.
Every once in a while it's revealed in a Chester County (PA) or other very desirable area to live and work and it's shocking!!! because it's a Chester County.
Until you there are public executions and $ to any related social programs dries up, it'll be.

The dark web is a hidden part of the internet that isn't indexed by standard search engines like Google. It can only be accessed using special software, such as Tor, which anonymizes users by routing their traffic through multiple servers worldwide. This makes it difficult to trace users' identities or locations.

Send them all to the El Salvador prison! would be my second choice. Or a remote island with crocodiles and pythons and no way out. Let them literally eat their own.
There is nothing on this earth that makes me more angry and sick at the same time. If one person touched a hair of my sons I would kill them. Same for our grandchildren, as I love them just as much as they are also ours.

The female pervert is a sociopath who can hide her perversion behind "oh I just love children!".

It usually refers to websites that are available through using Tor. They also aren't indexed by search engines, which makes them "dark".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)
Tor is a free overlay network for enabling anonymous communication. It is built on free and open-source software run by over seven thousand volunteer-operated relays worldwide, as well as by millions of users who route their Internet traffic via random paths through these relays.
It's sort of like Torrent for downloading files through various computer users or servers, "peers", who have the files.
But in this case, it's a lot of peers routing small packets of data through random connections for everybody using it, which makes it more anonymous than regular web surfing through an open IP or VPN.

Why are their names being hidden?"
-------
It's that pesky part of the Constitution, you know, innocent until proven guilty.
An accusation like that can completely ruin someone's life, so it should be hidden, at least until indictment.
Cops can and do get blinders on, and have been known to go after completely innocent people. That's the reason.

I'm going to knock my likeability index with this crew down a notch or two, but the lynch mob mentality I see on many of these posts bothers me.
You see, I almost went to jail for statutory rape. One thing saved me (and I mean "saved", literally): the magistrate knew my family and talked her mother out of pressing charges by pointing out that it would become public knowledge and "ruin her daughter's reputation". Since the law at that time defined statutory rape as simply congress with a female under the age of 16, I would have been convicted, even though I was 14 months younger than the girl.
" Nuance" is a bad word, but, sometimes, details count.
