The Week In Woke
Democrats are doubling down on the human trafficker/MS-13 made man/terrorist, and Trump is making them pay for that bad bet:
Bill MeluginAbrego Garcia's wife was asked by liberal news clown Michael Strahan why she filed domestic abuse complaints against her MS-13 Maryland Husband in 2021. She refused to answer. When Trump began listing the court documents establishing that Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 human smuggler and wife-abuser, MSNBC decided to stop broadcasting. Here are the remarks Trump made that MSNBC censored from its lunatic assassination-promoting viewers. Chris Van Hollen got back from his El Salvador stunt. His press conference was standing room only. Assuming "standing room only" means only one sad man standing in a big room. El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele can't stop goofing on Van Hollen.
@BillMelugin_ NEW: DHS has provided @FoxNews a bodycam image & HSI report from when Kilmar Abrego Garcia was pulled over by Tennessee Highway Patrol & was suspected of human trafficking in 2022. Per report, he had 8 people w/ no luggage in the car w/ him, & claimed to be driving them from TX to MD for construction work. Every passenger gave the same home address as Abrego Garcia's address. The report says Abrego Garcia was evasive during questioning, and had an expired license. He was not arrested or charged with any crime in relation to the incident. DHS says the report has yesterday's date due to redactions made of law enforcement sensitive info for public consumption, but this is an old document.
A Minnesota state government analyst was arrested for vandalizing Teslas. Why, it's almost as if the government exists to give the unemployable psychotic radicals of the Democrat Party jobs (or "jobs") in between their paid "protest" gigs.
That annoying trans activist called ICE agents "Nazis." In the UK, a man is arrested for having said to someone "Speak English." He's told this is a hate crime. Speaking English in England is a hate crime. Teacher insists that teaching kids about how to use butt plugs is her duty and her right and if you disagree you're saying "all queer sex is disgusting" and you're attacking the kind of sex she and her friends enjoy. In California, Oregon, and Connecticut, the top-rated "women's" high jumpers are all male. The thing that never happens continues not happening at an escalating pace. The brave woman who refused to fence the mentally-ill dude says "There's no end to the backlash that you may face" for standing up to shmen. She points out that referees will begin penalizing your for violating their religious cult doctrines. Maine's AG, suing Trump to prevent the loss of funds to Maine, claims there are "no safety concerns" concerning men playing contact sports against girls.
After the U.S. Department of Justice sued Maine for putting women and girls at risk by allowing males to compete in their sports, the state's attorney general claimed -- with zero evidence -- that Maine's ideology poses "no concerns of safety." "There are no concerns about individuals who are just choosing which gender they want to give themself in order to participate," Democrat Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey said in an interview with CNN. "So that, that too is really after a lot of work on whether or not there's any issue here that warrants this intrusion by the federal government into what's going on in Maine schools." Frey was on CNN to defend his state's refusal to comply with Title IX federal civil rights law by continuing to allow men to compete against women. His appearance came after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a civil lawsuit against Maine for its noncompliance in the wake of multiple federal agencies trying to get the state to stop putting women and girls at risk for weeks. "We've been working through to understand what, if any problem, really exists with the participation, if some of the harms that are being alleged really are of some concern, and what we've identified is, there really is -- there are no concerns of safety," Frey told CNN. Frey either has no clue what he is talking about or is lying through his teeth, because it is not hard to find instances of serious injuries to women and girls at the hands of the biologically stronger and larger males they are forced to compete against. Take Payton McNabb, for instance. She was invited as one of President Donald Trump's guests to his address to a joint session of Congress earlier this year because she suffered a concussion, brain bleed, and other trauma when a male athlete spiked a volleyball violently directly into her face. She still has issues with vision, partial paralysis, and mental health concerns associated with such injuries.Which causes me to wonder, for the thousandth time: Then why do we have sex-segregated sports at all? If there's no meaningful difference between men and women in sports (btw, apropos of nothing, the top woman sprinter in the world's best time is slower than those of the top 1,500 high school boys in the US alone), then get rid of "girls'" sports and make them compete with the guys. We're all the same, right?
The Mayo Clinic renamed its Office of DEI to "Office of Belonging" to fake-comply with Trump's executive order. People sometimes think that there's no harm done if an adult female teacher has sex with a male student. But what you forget is, most female pedophiles are heinous just like most male pedophiles are heinous. You don't want this on your sexual resume, kids. Say "no" to heinous pedophiles. At the current rate this country is going, you'll have sex at age 12 anyway, so hold out for something better. Liberal "man" who looks like he'd totally prosper in a civil war environment calls for the killing of his political enemies.

@libsoftiktok DEMONIC. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an "order of queer and trans nuns" are hosting a transgender Easter event at a public park in San Francisco this weekend which includes a "Hunky Jesus & Foxy Mary" drag contest and events for children. They literally say that their show is inappropriate for children while still encouraging children to attend. Make it make sense

Gabrielle StarrWho's going to tell her that the endless complaining about trivial things is what causes people to think "Maybe liberal women just aren't psychologically cut out for this"? The harshest attack of all:
@gfstarr1 We're always too attractive to be taken seriously, or not attractive enough to 'be a problem.' We're perceived as too standoffish and cold with players, or too friendly. If we're prepared, we're a know-it-all (you feel insecure), but if we make a mistake, it isn't because no person is perfect, but evidence that women don't belong in sports.

That's o.k. Ace. We had a meaningful Good Friday service with a guest organist and some of the great old time Good Friday hymns. As far as the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" they'll meet "hunky Jesus" eventually as we all will, and he will probably not be amused by them. And if gay men wanted to get away from the idea that gay men have huge numbers of sex partners, "Perpetual Indulgence" was not the best name. I'm sure they think it's hilarious however.

Let's dissect the logic of this position:
Teaching about butt plugs to public school students is NOT a "right." And, while this woman may consider it her "duty" (no pun intended, I sure, because that would require this woman to have a sense of humor) I believe it is a fetish. There are lots of fetishes in this world. None are considered to be instrumental in an intermediate education (paid for by the tax payers) for a public school student. Eating boogers is a fetish. Pretending to be something you aren't is a fetish. Tarantino's fascination with feet is a fetish. It is an individual affectation of a small minority. Intermediate public education is a general curriculum meant as a fundamental base leading to specialty.
I don't agree, not because the basis of that disagreement is that "all queer sex is disgusting." Although, I would be entitled to that opinion.

Turns out it is not an official strike. No wonder Taylor Lorenz wanna-be Paimon can still do voice work on the game while bullying people into supporting the 'strike.' The American voice actors have stripped the mask off to reveal how out of touch and entitled they are.
Another example, guy did an open casting call. He just needed people to voice like five lines as background characters. Instead of asking people to volunteer, he was willing to pay $15, And the job could be done while you were sitting in your own house. Of course the American voice actors got offended... how dare he only offer $15? Why I demand $100/hr they screamed. To read off five lines may take three minutes which equates to an hourly rate over $180/hr.
I am really rooting for AI to replace all these idiots.

1. Why are there so many cases like this lately?
Because most teachers are mentally ill and hate men. Because they hate men, they fantasize about immature males. They have the equipment but are not yet men and so not hated.
2. But they all get caught, don't they realize they will get caught?
No, critical thinking skills would have led them to a different career. Those without critical thinking skills become journalists or teachers, or if really unemployable they become gov. employees.

One thing though, the local home center has a security tag on the $30 soil moisture tester. The only thing in the store that was secured.
I guess a lot of obasans would steal them. I don't know. Maybe because it is small and expensive for gardening equipment. Weird.
But anyway, even in Japan people steal, just at a much much lower rate.
There was a story last year about a school teacher (or principle?) who got caught buying a med coffee and filling a large cup at the conbini. (the machines are often right at the door, and self serve, so you pay and then fill before you go. Moreover, the attendant can't see over the machine.) He got fired over it; town said he did not have the proper character to teach children.

Massie’s probably right on that one. Ideally, we wouldn’t need a national ID.
However, if we did need one, it would actually be used to prevent things like voter fraud.
But in all truth, Real ID is just a way to screw with law-abiding Americans. It won’t be used to secure elections in Illinois, California or Pennsylvania. And it won’t be used to stop illegal immigration or make air travel safer, because the uniparty has shown that they will just let illegals fly without ID.

________________________________
I suspect that Meloni pretends to play nice with the rest of the EU team, but has a nice solid back channel with the Trump Admin. Back when the EU held an emergency meeting relative to Ukraine she arrived late, and left early without speaking to the press. The only EU leader to do so. And her expression was not one of "joy." The next week, Zelenskyy shows up at the White House and does his little dramatic show on national television. I think it was planned, and Meloni tipped Trump off to it...which is why Vance sat in on it, and played the pit bull on Trump's behalf.
Meloni is a friend of MAGA IMO, but she has to play the game of the EU in public.

"No, Michael Byrd was not given a pardon by former President Joe Biden. Multiple sources, including fact-checking organizations like PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, Reuters, and Lead Stories, confirm that Byrd’s name does not appear on the U.S. Department of Justice’s list of pardons issued during Biden’s presidency. Biden issued preemptive pardons for members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, its staff, and police officers who testified before the committee, but Byrd did not testify and was not included in these pardons."

@infantrydort
There’s a strange type of man in America today.
He has soft hands and sharp words. He talks endlessly of peace, but fantasizes about violence. He rails against masculinity, yet wants to wield power. He despises weapons, but dreams of using the state as a gun. He calls himself educated, but speaks like a zealot. He waves foreign flags, hates his own countrymen, and believes men can be women and women can be men.
You’ve seen him. You’ve argued with him. And right after he hurls his insults, he blocks you. Because deep down, even he knows he cannot back it up.
He is the child of a civilization in decline. Raised without God. Taught that strength is violence, masculinity is toxic, and truth is subjective. He’s been fed purpose through ideology, and fear through propaganda.
He doesn’t worship a higher power, he worships power itself.

NPR: Trump's Plotting to Cut All of Our Funding
The Trump administration has drafted a memo to Congress outlining its intent to end nearly all federal funding for public media, which includes NPR and PBS, according to a White House official who spoke to NPR. The memo, which the administration plans to send to Congress when it reconvenes from recess on April 28, will open a 45-day window in which the House and Senate can either approve the rescission or allow the money to be restored. The official, who spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity, confirmed the existence of the draft. In a statement on Monday that did not refer to the memo, the White House said: "For years, American taxpayers have been on the hook for subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as 'news.'" The statement includes examples of what the White House said is "trash that passes as 'news'" and "intolerance of non-leftist viewpoints." NPR produces the award-winning news programs Morning Edition and All Things Considered, while PBS is best known for its nightly PBS News Hour and its high-quality children's programming, such as Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.There's a little commercial for NPR tucked right into NPR's article about NPR. No bias here!
Gentlemen, here are your talking points: "$1.1 billion is less than one-one-thousandth of our multi-trillion dollar budgets therefore we must never cut billions from the budget."
This month, on social media platforms, President Trump blasted the two primary public broadcasting networks, posting in all caps: "REPUBLICANS MUST DEFUND AND TOTALLY DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM NPR & PBS, THE RADICAL LEFT 'MONSTERS' THAT SO BADLY HURT OUR COUNTRY!" Trump is expected to propose rescinding $1.1 billion -- two years' worth of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a congressionally chartered independent nonprofit organization that in turn partially funds NPR and PBS.
NPR added this: This article was written by people working for NPR, who would therefore lose their jobs if NPR's funding was cut, but they didn't allow the ludicrously biased head of NPR to review the article, therefore, it's free of all bias or self-interest.
In making the move, the president appears to be drawing impetus from a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing in late March. The panel called NPR's and PBS' chiefs to testify, alleging the networks' news coverage is biased against conservatives. In a statement, NPR said: "Eliminating funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would have a devastating impact on American communities across the nation that rely on public radio for trusted local and national news, culture, lifesaving emergency alerts, and public safety information." "We serve the public interest. It's not just in our name -- it's our mission. Across the country, locally owned public media stations represent a proud American tradition of public-private partnership for our shared common good," it said. Paula Kerger, PBS' CEO and president, said the Trump administration's effort to rescind funding for public media would "disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people." "There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress," she said.
The article claims NPR and PBS aren't biased. Another lie. The Free Beacon reviewed a bunch of PBS "documentaries." The main thesis of these "documentaries? Literally everything is racist.
Disclosure: This story was reported and written by NPR correspondents David Folkenflik and Scott Neuman. It was edited by deputy business editor Emily Kopp and Managing Editors Gerry Holmes and Vickie Walton-James. Under NPR's protocol for reporting on itself, no NPR corporate official or news executive reviewed this story before it was posted publicly.
PBS receives roughly 15 percent of its $373 million operating budget from the federal government. In addition to its member stations and on-demand streaming shows, some of the money goes to Independent Lens, the weekly series through which PBS airs documentary films. They often have to do with racism. The 2022 Independent Lens flick Racist Trees, for example, chronicles a black neighborhood in the overwhelmingly liberal "LGBTQ haven" of Palm Springs, Calif. The neighborhood's residents feel that a "wall of trees" that lines a nearby golf course was "intentionally planted to exclude and segregate" the neighborhood, and want the trees removed. "They say that these trees are not racially motivated, that they were not racially planted there," one interviewee says in the film. "They can prove that by one simple act. Remove the trees." Other Independent Lens documentaries similarly center on claims of racism, misogyny, and homophobia. There's Our League, the story of a transgender woman who "comes out to her old-school Ohio bowling league." There's also Ferguson Rises, a documentary in which PBS shadows the father of Michael Brown. And in Breaking the News, PBS documents the "women and LGBTQ+ journalists" who launched nonprofit newsroom The 19th to "buck a broken news media system." One interviewee in the film argues that it's easier for a white woman "to vote in space than it is for a black woman to vote in Philadelphia." It's documentaries like those that have motivated the Trump administration to call to scrap taxpayer funds for PBS. The White House plans to ask Congress to rescind $1.1 billion in federal funding for the entity that funds NPR and PBS, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. PBS has hired Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with deep ties to the Trump administration, to push back.Video at the link.

@DrewHolden360 Thread I’m not sure people realize just how egregious some of NPR's "journalism" has been. Amid the debate about defunding the network, I wanted to walk down memory lane to revisit some of its worst coverage. There's a lot.
Insofar as @NPR did cover the Hunter Biden scandal, they actively tried to cover it up.
— Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) April 15, 2025
They applauded Facebook & Twitter strangling the story as part of a push against “misinformation and conspiracy theories.”
The story, of course, turned out to be far from invented. pic.twitter.com/ykhfpdFP0S
This wasn’t the only hatchet work from @NPR in defense of Biden.
— Drew Holden (@DrewHolden360) April 15, 2025
When questions about Biden’s cognitive functioning started to bubble up in February 2024, NPR leapt Pravda-like to his defense.
The real problem? How such allegations would be “weaponized.” pic.twitter.com/7WUOZMIPIN

Particularly there is a documentary on immigration, and partway in, they report that Paul Ryan had an amnesty deal with Raul Grijalva ready to go, with majority support from the Republican caucus, which was John Boehner's requirement to bring it to the floor.
Ryan was having celebratory drinks with Grijalva, when news came of Eric Cantor losing the primary to Dave Brat, and Ryan's whip count disappeared.

They did a recent one on 70s funk music.
Here is the thesis.
“But as the 1960s rolled on, through the Vietnam War, the struggle for civil rights, desegregation and the rise of the Black Power movement, an opening appeared for music that offered a bolder identity for Black people.“

Burns was just lazy. He accused Cobb of sharpening his spikes to injury opposing players when in truth Cobb lobbied for just the opposite in the league.
I'm not saying Ty Cobb was an angel. He likely was an asshole of sorts. But, Ken Burns creates documentaries to reflect his won held positions, truth be damned.

There is no reason they can't or shouldn't do what every other program producer does, which is line up investors and funding to produce their program and then sell it to a network.
If Antiques Roadshow was picked up by another network, I would watch it just the same. And it would be, because it's popular.
So there would be commercials? So what. There already are commercials in PBS programs. Calling it a message from their sponsor's doesn't change the fact.

“ We Want the Funk! covers a lot of ground, from Sly and the Family Stone to Prince, African artists like Fela Kuti, hip hop pioneers like De la Soul and more. It also explores how bands like Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic fed Black-centered science fiction trends like Afrofuturism — evoking a world where Black people were cavorting with aliens among the stars at a time when mainstream movies, TV and film were still pretty white.”

When I first heard it I thought "this can't be right," and I did a 20 sec. search to see a video of what he had actually said.
Surely they knew it was a lie, but they repeated it all day (and for the next 8 years probably.) That alone is reason enough to defund them and not just CPB, but the money that goes to states to fund the stations that pay for their programming. (Their main source of income.)
Trump should hold a press conference and play clips from that day and then ban them from the pressroom.

They have one person explaining the far far left marxist position with no representation of reality, then they have the "other side" explaining that there might be some tiny downside or some fear that Repulicans have raised but is totally irrational.
Then the host sums it up with exactly why the Right has a different opinion -- because they are hateful and ignorant, of course.
It is such obvious propaganda. Every day, all day. Over and over they spoon feed stuff in such a way that only a child would not question what they are saying. The only way their world can work is if Republicans (and MAGA) are all sub 80 IQ, hatefull, bigoted and evil. They box their own viewers into a cognitive bubble allowing them no chance of compromise.

I read Ty Cobb's autobiography from decades ago and another book he wrote about how baseball was played back in the day.
Matter of fact I've read dozens of baseball books, a number of which were written by his contemporary players well before racism became such a hot button issue in or out of baseball.
I heard lots of things that made me think he was obnoxious and difficult but never did catch a trace of racism. He seemed more like the kind of player and person who could care less if you were a nasty alien from outer space if you could help his team win.

As you can probably guess, Ty Cobb is a favorite of mine, and it pissed me off that even "Field of Dreams" dumped on him by saying they didn't invite him because no one liked the bastard. BUT, in truth, opposing teams actually created Ty Cobb Days at their own stadiums when his career was winding down.
That was the legacy of Burn's documentary...picked up on by other mediums. Which angers me LOL

In Trump's first term, Don Jr. was subpoenaed to testify before some congressional committee. The left was salivating while imagining Don Jr. would give up his father for some crime.
Peter Sagal on "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" joked that Trump said "I always wanted one of my kids to screw me, just not that one".

No doubt that Cobb was a tough rock, the other players were tough too. Speculating, If Cobb had gone too far against an opposition player an up roaring fight would have ensued. Base men wouldn't put up with getting spiked.

NPR was much better 20 years ago.
Then they got the Ray Kroc money from his widow. I never heard how it happened, but she must have insisted that they go full bull goose lefty. They had a really good interviewer (Bob Edwards) who was host of Morning Edition and right after they got the money they fired him for no reason.
He was among the best interviewers I have heard. He would interact with the person and ask intelligent questions. Every day.
There was something about that Kroc money that made them go far far left.

That was the upshot of my dad's story. Cobb had jammed his spikes into Honus Wagner's leg sliding into 3rd.
Later in the game, Wagner vigorously tagged Cobb out in the jaw with his fist around the ball.

Minnesota AG and Islamist Keith Ellison Is Distancing Himself from a Fake "Charity" That Stole $250 Million in Covid Funds, Supposedly for Feeding Poor Children
His grubby fingerprints are all over this, says David Strom.
Ellison is claiming he had nothing to do with the scam charity that stole a quarter of a billion dollars out of the mouths of poor children, but he's on tape pledging his support to the fraudsters.
The scandal, about which I have written a bit, can be condensed into a few sentences: DFL politicos hooked up with Somali immigrants tied to Ilhan Omar to rip off the state and federal government by charging hundreds of millions for meals they never provided to children during COVID. Hundreds of millions, and that is only one of the scams that Somalis have run with the cooperation of the Democrat-controlled government. There has been a similar fraud related to child care subsidies and home care services that never happened. All told, somewhere between $500 million and a billion dollars has been conned out of Minnesota taxpayers, and the local Democratic Party is deeply connected to it all. In the case of this particular scandal, the lead conspirator was a former top official in Amy Klobuchar's office, not that you would ever know it from the news coverage. Aimee Bock was the ringleader, but most of the minions were Somali refugees with deep political ties to Ilhan Omar, Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey, and our very own Attorney General and former Democratic Party Vice Chair Keith Ellison.
See the article for more, and to hear the clips. Another recording of Keith Ellison meeting with Feeding Our Future Vacation Homes grifters has dropped. From AmericanExperiment.org:
Keith Ellison, Minnesota's attorney general, can clearly be heard pledging his support to individuals who would soon become his family's campaign donors and later Feeding Our Future criminal defendants. His recorded statements flatly contradict his contemporaneous public statements and raise uncomfortable questions about the intersection between political fundraising and constituent services. American Experiment has exclusively obtained the complete 54-minute, 44-second audio file of a private December 2021 meeting between state Attorney General (AG) Keith Ellison and key figures in the Feeding Our Future scandal. ... As a document, it exceeds expectations. Voices can be heard clearly and are clearly identifiable. The highlights, which are many, tend to be front-loaded. I've included below some clips from the meeting to highlight a few points. ... The meeting proper begins at the 1:28 mark with introductions. The female voice heard beginning at 1:45 belongs to Ikram Mohamed. She is Feeding Our Future Defendant No. 63, overall, in the case and is expected to stand trial in December 2025. Ikram worked as an employee/consultant for Feeding Our Future for a time and also participated in the free-food program independently. She has pled not guilty in the case. ... The first, but hardly the last, accusation of racism is dropped at 4:20. Beginning at 6:00, Omar describes (offers) his organization's fundraising prowess (6:30) on behalf of "elected officials who are willing to protect communities of color." To repeat, Omar has never been accused of any wrongdoing. At 8:00, Ellison offers his initial thoughts on the meeting's introductory remarks: Ellison describes his interventions with then-DHS Commissioner Jodi Harpstead starting at 8:15. Harpstead left her post earlier this year... Ellison states on the recording that "we are in the middle of the battle with the agencies now" at 8:59. At 9:07, Ellison asserts that: "Walz agrees with me that this piddly, stupid stuff running small people out of business is terrible." At 9:22, Ellison can be heard drawing a diagram on a whiteboard. At 9:50, Ellison agrees with the proposition that there is state agency discrimination against East African businesses. At 11:30, Ellison brags that: "Just being able to say, just getting the question, just getting the inquiry from the AG is sometimes enough to make people knock it off."
Another leaked audio recording links Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison to the Feeding Our Future (FOF) scandal. This much earlier recording (June 2021) raises more questions about Ellison's public statements on the case and his office's less-than-adequate representation of the state Department of Education (MDE) in an FOF-filed lawsuit. Last week, American Experiment exclusively published a 55-minute audio recording, dated December 11, 2021, featuring AG Ellison meeting with a half-dozen or so individuals associated with the nonprofit Feeding Our Future (FOF). Feeding was the rogue nonprofit behind a $250 million theft from a taxpayer-funded program meant to feed children from low-income families. That audio was recorded just 9 days before Ellison received several campaign donations from individuals linked to FOF. One month after that (January 20, 2022), FBI raids shut down the fraud and closed FOF. To be clear, no one mentioned by name in this post has been accused of any wrongdoing in the Feeding Our Future case.Well, may be. But the investigation is young.
... American Experiment was sent the following 19-second video. The man standing on the left is Abshir Omar, the Feeding Our Future consultant. The man seated on the right is state Sen. Omar Fateh (DFL-62, Minneapolis). According to campaign finance records, Abshir Omar donated $1,000 to Sen. Fateh's re-election campaign on November 20, 2021. In addition to Abshir's, Sen. Fateh collected six other donations on that date. It is alleged that the video above was shot on November 14, 2021. From the short video, it is not clear what subject is being discussed. The word "food" is mentioned by Abshir at the 11-second mark. Below are the campaign donations accepted by the Ellisons (father and son) and Sen. Fateh from individuals linked to the Feeding Our Future scandal. From the contributor list above, Abshir Omar is Donor "E." We were also sent a 54-second audio recording, allegedly recorded much earlier on June 22, 2021. From the audio, it sounds as if the recording is of a telephone call or a Zoom meeting. ... The subject matter appears to be the ongoing state lawsuit between Feeding Our Future and the state Dept. of Education ("MDE"). The audio mentions (0:05) a contempt ruling filed against MDE, which occurred in June 2021. MDE was represented in the lawsuit by Ellison's office. At the 24-second mark, Ellison respond to a question by stating that he had heard of the FOF/MDE case "late this afternoon." This contradicts Ellison's statement on the later December 2021 audio tape that he was unaware of the lawsuit.

AOC and Bernie are barnstorming their anti-rich people tour in a huge private jet, which appears to have a tail number of N604xt.
That jet belongs to a company owned by a guy named Toby Neugebauer. He made his fortune investing in fracking, and he gives a ton of money to Texas Republicans.
So, the mystery: Why did a Republican donor from the oil business lend his jet to two socialists trying to kill his entire way of life?

"Juneteeth" is the most idiotic national holiday we have.
There's some argument for it being a TEXAS holiday, as that's when the Texas slaves were freed by the Union Army, but it wasn't even close to the end of slavery in the United States.
The last slaves freed in the United States were the ones held by the Tlingit tribe in Alaska, who were freed when Alaska was transferred from Russia.
The Tlingits had slaves of every description (including whites, Asians, you name it... as numerous mariners who were foolhardy enough to not land in force learned to their sorrow).
Those boys used to have huge seagoing war canoes, and regularly ran slave raids as far south as Northern California.
Basically the Barbary Pirates of the Pacific Northwest.
There's still a "shame" totem pole of William Seward that was erected because the Tlingit considered that he owed them compensation for the freed slaves.
They made, and still make, totem poles for many purposes... think of them as cool-looking billboards. One purpose was to publicly humiliate a deadbeat debtor.

A fair amount of sugar is added to the pulverized beans, mind you. Possibly some other dessert additives.
I gave such a filled pastry to my mom, who hates lima beans, and she ate the whole thing happily. And she had absolutely no idea until I told her.
So there is a way for kids who hate lima beans to eat nutritious lima beans, but we just don't give it to them.

Add a half-cup of sugar, plus 1/4 tsp of salt, and a tsp of vanilla flavoring. Put the pan back on the stove, on medium high, for 2 or 3 minutes, while stirring with a wooden spoon. Filling should thicken. Turn the heat off and let it cool.

I was one of the kids in the 90s diagnosed as ADHD and put on Ritalin. I haven't taken it since I was 12.
There was INSANE over-diagnosis of ADD and ADHD in the 90s because there was money to be made.
NOBODY talks about ADD or ADHD anymore, because people caught on to the grift.
So now they're 'autistic'.
Now how many government programs, 'special' teachers, programs, and whatnot try to charge parents to 'help' their autistic kid.

Psychiatry is a growth industry. Fifty years ago, if your kid was shy, you just pushed him to get out of his shell. If he was obsessed with trains, you tried to get him into sports.
Now you take him to the shrink who says “Oh, your five year old isn’t *shy* and nerdy, he has generalized anxiety disorder and autism and ADHD.” And then he goes on pills and therapy for life and becomes one of these bitch-tit whiny soybois who breaks down crying on social media because OrangeManBad is going to take away his jizz-encrusted waifu body pillow and make him get a real job.

Table 2 - Family with a baby about two years old on some sort of baby i-pad.
Table 3 - Young couple with infant about 5 months old in a high chair with baby i-pad in front of it while parents didn't interact with infant one bit. And their conversation was nothing but "Pass the salt" kind of stuff, so it's not like they couldn't have taken a moment to talk to the infant.

Mebbe a solution is to divorce vaccine makers from pharmaceutical companies and actually do real publicly funded blind tests rather than relying on dubious industry tests. Far too easy to skew data and analysis to hide concerning information. I learned stats back in the day using medical examples (my interests were not straight up OLS friendly--e.g. binary, time series, abnormal distributions of errors, etc) and for that reason, can read most medicial research with help of the internet to interpret specialist language.
A lot of medical research doesn't reflect good practices in transparent and replicable research.

In other words, the autism "epidemic" is more of a mass hysteria, not a physical actual epidemic.
The reason for the increase in diagnoses?
-- Everybody want to be a victim, wants to be "special," and this is an easy way to achieve that status.
-- Parents want special treatment for their kids in school -- if you get an autism diagnosis, your kid gets an "IEP" -- Independent Education Program, which allows the all sorts of extra privileges and advantages in school.
-- Mental illness is trendy and cool now among the TikTok generation, and the "trending" metal illnesses you can claim to have are Autism, DID (multiple personality disorder), gender dysphoria, and CPTSD (basically, trauma from longterm child abuse).

Used to be that to be diagnosed with true autism, you banged your head against the wall and yelled repetitive nonsense sounds and cringed in the corner or hid in a closet, and were uneducatable. etc. etc.
Now, if you merely fidget a little bit, or feel uncomfortable at a party, or can't concentrate during a boring class lesson, the BOOM you are on the "autism spectrum" and get a diagnosis.
My opinion: 90% of people currently diagnosed with autism don't really have autism, but are on 'the spectrum," which is a fabrication.

So... I think there's a connection between ADHD (if such a "condition" exists) and autism. One leading to the other, perhaps as a result of the medications given to kids with ADHD. Just my opinion.
Lastly it seems to me that the schools have a lot of influence on getting unsuspecting parents, a lot of whom are single mothers to medicate their boys so they are less.... "boy like" in the classroom.

RFK was on Hannity last night to explain his remarks. What he's targeting aren't people diagnosed as mildly autistic, looks around the thread, but instead the people who are so severely autistic they require full-time care and probably will for their entire lives. Those numbers are a subset of the overall numbers but they still are significant and something is causing them to increase.
There is no logical reason for not wanting to know if there is something we are giving kids or pregnant mothers or whatever that is causing a big increase in the number of cases.

As in “Ohmygawd, I’m supposed to be doing my schoolwork, but instead I spent a couple of hours making a TikTok video—getting my hair, makeup, lighting, and expressions right—talking about how hard it is to do homework when I have ADHD!”

It's just the next pharma grift.
I was one of the kids in the 90s diagnosed as ADHD and put on Ritalin. I haven't taken it since I was 12.
There was INSANE over-diagnosis of ADD and ADHD in the 90s because there was money to be made.
NOBODY talks about ADD or ADHD anymore, because people caught on to the grift.
So now they're 'autistic'.
Now how many government programs, 'special' teachers, programs, and whatnot try to charge parents to 'help' their autistic kid.
Follow the money.

It may not be that unpopular, Dude. The NYT Magazine came out with a big article this week saying that ADHD may have been misdiagnosed all these years after all. There is ZERO chance of that article coming out now, if RFKJ had not been made HHS Secretary. Pharma is trying to get ahead of RFJK by getting that story out now. There won't be able to get all of them out in front.

There are also ordinary, normal, right-leaning Americans, with actually austic kids, who might hear the "we need to stop autism" talk and think "that could have been worded better."
It's like if you have a kid with down syndrome, would you approve of a "stop downs" campaign? Having that in your family almost immediately changes your approach toward it.
Then again, if you had a kid with polio, wouldn't you be in favor of "eliminate polio" campaigns? I would.
All that to say, I'm 100% on the "stop autism" train, but I can see why parents with autistic kids, or adults with autism might be extra sensitive to it all.

We need a totally objective measure of what constitutes autism, not a squishy "I know it when I see it" thing, and then establish whether or not the autism rate is actually increasing.
Notice how fibromyalgia has faded from public consciousness. Twenty years ago it was all the rage, along with chronic fatigue syndrome. Two maladies that were vague, impossible to quantify, had no objective criteria for diagnosis, yet magically, mystically, have dwindled into insignificance.

There are differing levels of arthritis too, and possibly multiple causes. However, it would be nice to be sure, and it would nice to somehow put all the records together to see if something can be found to prevent even the worse cases.
The problem is that the incidence of near total disability is going up too, and that is not the sort of thing we can blame on Bruno Bettelheim/s "refrigerator mother" or any of the other previous attempts to explain the genesis of autism.
Honestly there has been extensive studies on this, and a number of studies are showing correlations, and when they come out, the controlling powers of public health pretty much declare that no solution can be found with bad studies. Doing these sorts of studies on children is one way to get your license pulled for malpractice, it seems.
Posted by: Kindltot at April 18, 2025 03:10 PM (D7oie)
What would really help these kids would be to have most of their teachers trying to convince them they are also likely "born in the wrong body", and that they are probably gay or trans "candidates". And here is how you have anal sex, which is awesome.

They all have some personal story about how they have an autistic child who works and pays taxes, therefore there are 0 autistic children who are incapable odd caring for themselves.
There argument is equal to saying "because i know someone who survived prostate cancer, no one has ever died of cancer."
It's done twisted and amazingly absurd logic even from these idiots.
As for the rates increase itself, it probably has much more to do with ther redefining of autism. It use to be people with severe asperger's or down's, now it's any kid who likes to twirl his pencil in class, or any adult who can memorize the plots to Seinfeld episodes. Broadening the definition is just a way for more people to scam money, and has nothing to do with the wellbeing of people with autism (and probably hurts those with actual deficiencies as now funds are diverted to grifters)

They don't even want to go there, so they do what child-minded Democrats always do: They just deny there's any problem at all that.
Could be the vaccine schedule, could be the massive increase in use of "birth control" pills, could even be related to women's hygiene products which apparently have heavy metals in them (Brett Cooper had a video on this months ago). Who knows.

But yeah, one would think people would want to investigate. But it's probably just like everything else that people don't want to solve: corruption. Someone is making a lot of money off of autism, just like there is a ton of money in the "gender-affirming care" industry, just like there was a ton of money in diagnosing every illness as "COVID", just like there was a ton of money in the COVID "vaccines", and on and on and on.

Drug usage by parents with unknown effects? Stronger pot, loads of over-the-counter "therapeutics," over or under utilization of vitamins, minerals in childbearing years, yada, yada. NASAID usage by adults. Do they affect pregnancy? Hair dye and other treatments.
Prescription drugs for parents, perhaps for depression, autoimmune diseases. Surely there are now so many and residual or long-term effects aren't yet known.
Handing babies cellphones to watch and play, putting them in front the tablets? Blue light, LEDS.
Babies, young children not learning to comfort themselves. Consistent overstimulation. Use of sleeping aids for young children, which will affect hormones.
Overdiagnosed as schools, especially grade schools, must receive special ed money, expanded staffs, school psychologists.
The occasional dreadful parent able to cover infant, baby injury or neglect through such diagnoses.

If you have multiple autistic children you get more free money.
I'm sure their are lots of shady doctors that will diagnose you child as autistic w/o a test or anything, just like medicare fraud. The parents get free "support" from the government and it's no skin off their nose.

Posted by: ShainS --Waking Up Early is White Supremacy at April 18, 2025 03:22 PM (WoF+z)
I was a care provider back in the early '90s. At that time doctors were becoming interested in autism, it seemed to be the "in thing" among them.
I had one client who was obviously severely autistic whose doctor would change his prescriptions every couple of months, like he was hoping to find a cure.
I had another client, in his 40s, who had been diagnosed his whole life as "mentally retarded." Suddenly, he was Autistic.
Working with kids in the 2000s and 2010s, I saw parents (mostly moms) begin proudly introducing their kids to the group as autistic - like a parent in my day would have told everyone that their kid was a track star or quarterback or violinist or something. These parents really, really wanted you to know that they were a "Mom of an autistic child." They even had bumper stickers proclaiming exactly that - they were a hero!
We would have socially dysfunctional kids join our programs and half the leaders would instantly "diagnose" these kids as "on the spectrum." A few months later, those kids would be interacting with others just like any normal kid.
There are so many perverse incentives for labeling kids "autistic," that I don't know what to think of all this.

Totally aside from the autism issue:
The problem with vaccines is NOT the vicci e itself, but the irritant they put into the shot to cause the white blood cells to be attracted to the point of injection. Doesn't matter what the disease is ("polio, smallpox, whooping cough and diphtheria"), what matter is the intentionally toxic irritant included with the dead/attenuated disease germs. Some of the irritants are pretty heinous.

Hormones shouldn't be fucked with. They do a lot more than we have ever previously understood. Fuck with your hormones and you might get kids with fucked up hormones.
And what if the effect gets amplified each successive generation? Like so much else, birth control was a giant experiment on civilized humanity, by people who didn't know what the fuck they were doing. Think "Wuhan" but for the rest of time.

I think the trans ideologues are deliberately predating on autistic children who already have a sense that something is wrong with them and don't fit in with their peers, hence the apparently significance of kids with autism and gender dysphoria.

But I've mention to a few by far younger people that I don't see some young parents having face time with their child or children several times a day. No dining together, no real playtime together. Even storybooks that may be read are not being done with some degree of eye contact.
They'll allow kids to fall asleep whenever, give he/she a gummy or two to relax, put on a noise dampener and pray the kid(s) stays asleep. The kids learn to wake up, make a ruckus and want to be able to climb in bed with adults. No one ever gets a decent night of sleep.
Ignore a child, be fearful of parenting, and don't be surprised by the outcome. They're a great joy but also a huge amount of commitment and time.

Scott Adams is, as usual, wrong. For one, adult diagnoses of autism have exploded, including many self-diagnosed.
But children receive a lot more attention than adults. An “autistic” adult can just live their lives, but a slightly-off kid will get the attention of teachers, parents, therapists, pediatricians.
See, part of the problem with medicalizing every deviation from “normal” behavior is that it results in overdiagnosis. The system has to assign a diagnosis to get a proper billing code for insurance, so as soon as a kid sees a shrink they’re going to end up diagnosed with *something.*

But classic or severe autism presents with loss of vocabulary/speech (toddler can no longer talk); inability to maintain balance enough to walk; "stimming" or often-violent repetitive physical movements, like the kid banging his head against the wall for hours; loss of toilet training; no longer making eye contact or smiling at parents AT ALL: parents describe this as their child emotionally and spiritually dying, leaving a zombie behind.
In addition, they are mentally retarded, and cannot take care of themselves. Parents who are getting old themselves and don't want to put their now-adult sons into an institution have even been known to kill the son and kill themselves, out of desperation.
Watch the documentary I linked, and you'll see what real autism is. This is the form that has skyrocketed since 1986.

A good thing to check. They are expressed in breast milk, so you kid is getting them if you breast feed while taking them. I think it's probably multifactorial. In one family you can have autistic kid or kids and other siblings who are not, and sometimes they all are autistic. Even soz they may be autistic to different degrees. So it is some genetic, with some environmental trigger. It's not ADHD. Autism is not just hyperkid doesn't pay attention. They have communication issues, language processing issues, sensory issues, facial blindness. I have seen a lot of kids with special needs and autism. They are all different. It could be a lot of things. It isn't going to be an easy fix. Remember the Roman's used lead plumbing for a century... somethings are taken for granted....

Supreme Court Will Hear Trump's Argument to Overturn "Birthright Citizenship"
Birthright citizenship is the theory that if someone is born in America, even if their parents are here illegally, they are American citizens by birthright.
This is the majority rule in the Western Hemisphere, but almost no European countries have this rule. Birthright citizenship was never passed into law. Rather, it was asserted by the Supreme Court in a 19th century case. Trump wants the rule changed so that anchor babies born here are not American citizens.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments May 15 on President Donald Trump's order to end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants. While the justices declined to lift the nationwide pause on the policy, their decision to fast-track the case signals its legal and constitutional importance. Key Details: Trump's executive order, signed on his first day in office, remains blocked by federal courts in three states. The court will not immediately rule on the constitutionality of birthright citizenship but will review the legality of nationwide injunctions. Trump hailed the court's decision to hear the case, saying he was "so happy" and calling the policy's origins misunderstood. Diving Deeper: In a rare move, the U.S. Supreme Court announced Thursday that it will hear oral arguments on May 15 over former President Donald Trump's executive order ending automatic birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants and non-citizen residents. The announcement came via a brief, unsigned order that offered no reasoning, as is typical in emergency requests, but underscored the case's significance by granting expedited review. At issue is whether lower courts overstepped their authority by imposing nationwide injunctions on the Trump administration's birthright citizenship policy, which the former president enacted on his first day back in office. The policy would eliminate automatic citizenship for individuals born on U.S. soil to parents who are in the country illegally--a direct challenge to a longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment. That interpretation has held since 1898, when the Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that nearly all children born on American soil are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Legal scholars have debated this for years, with some conservatives, including Trump ally John Eastman, arguing that the 14th Amendment was never intended to apply so broadly. Others, like New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, have called Trump's order "blatantly unconstitutional," pointing to post-Civil War intent and more than a century of legal precedent.

Yep. Scotus judge writing the opinion also ignored key limitations of jus solis in common law. For example excluding sojourners and also considering people as subjects.
But, the most important part, is that Scotus had a reign of errors in interpreting all the post Civil War amendments and eviscerated (just as Marshal and Taney courts did before the war) the guts out of the 14th Amendment in particular. Aka the privileges and immunities clause (see Clarence Thomas for a trenchant analysis in his dissents and concurrences on this), expanding the due process clause beyond belief, and likewise reading into the equal protection clause justifying segregation first and then later using it far beyond its original purpose in restoring black slaves to citizenship.
Wong Ark Kim was just another exercise in judicial supremacy and reign of error in ignored the key limiting clause--subject to the jurisdiction thereof which makes all the common law analysis of jus solis moot. For the most part, it was trivially easy for a lazy ass Scotus judge to walk downstairs to get actual debates over it in Congress. He didn't.

Even if BR citizenship was revoked or found not to apply, that baby would still be a citizen because this scammer was here legally.
BR is (or should be) just the beginning. Get rid of the entire concept that being born here -- even if the mother is here legally -- confers automatic citizenship. Citizenship should flow from citizenship of at least one parent.

But...the Ark decision says this:
"A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States,"
According to the original decision, they have to live here, have a permanent residence, and be working.
So, even giving Ark all justice in the world, it doesn't say, "cross the border and pop out kids".

False.
Wonk Kim Ark's parents were lawful, permanent residents. The Court specifically states that fact and contrasts their status to those of diplomats--people here legally but not permanent residents.
And says, of course those children could not become citizens.
The issue there was, since they were not permitted to become citizens, but were permanent residents, could he be a citizen?
No where in the opinion does it say that those born here to a parent here illegally becomes a citizen.
There's a poorly understood, expansive reading far beyond the intent of the opinion.

>>Depends on the meaning of 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof'. The writers of the law were clear what this meant. But Judicial thinks thay are a superior branch so they decided what it really meant.
The jurisdiction thereof argument has always been a Macguffen and that justices have used rule they wanted , the framers of the 14th amendment were very clear in who the the 14th applied to and it certainly wasn't illegal aliens.

Emphasis on the "nearly".
Children born to foreign diplomats in the US have never been American citizens - since we don't have jurisdiction over foreign diplomats.
It isn't hard to extend that reasoning.

In the 19th century, when birthright citizenship was first implemented, it took 9 months for sailing ships to cross the ocean, so it was quite rare for a pregnant passenger to reach our shores before giving birth. Nowadays, it's a 5 minute rowboat ride across the Rio Grande. They can leave home with the first contraction and have time to stop for lunch on the way.

Democrats have officially lost it. This Democrat not only wants a foreign gang member brought back into the U.S., but also says we should grant citizenship to the 11 million illegal immigrants that Biden has allowed into our country.
Dems want to completely dismantle America. They only care about due process when illegal immigrants commit crimes — not when they illegally enter our country in the first place.

Yea, it's long and written in the typical wordy 19th-century legal style. The problem also is that none of the judges on that decision were even thinking about the consequences of what might happen 100+ years in the future. If someone told them at the time that their decision would be used to grant citizenship to illegals five minutes after they sneak over the border, the judges would be like "Are you nuts?? That's not what we mean!"

Justice Gray had a very indistinguishable career as Scotus judge. At the time, the Fuller court was mostly legal mediocrities plucked from corporate law practice and placed on the court. The one sound justice, Justice Harlan dissented as did Chief Justice Fuller.

But why?
That's the exact reasoning there are so many bullshit "laws" created by the Court:
Solving problems is not the job of the Court--ruling on the legality of the question before the Court is the only job.
All they have to do is say "the Amendment as drafted, as intended by the drafters, and as understood in common English, applies only to those persons legally, lawfully and permanently residing in the United States.
The resolution of the status of those children now residing in the United States born to parents here illegally is a political question beyond the power and authority of this Court.
And must be resolved in the political arena."
Democrats and RINOs want the Court to save them from this hot potato--they should toss it into their laps where it belongs.

It was never the interpretation in Wong Ark Kim. His parents were here legally and Wong Ark got barred from reentry despite being born here.
The limiting language is subject to the jurisdiction thereof which explicitly overrules jus solis common law before then and created the language that permitted overriding Dred Scott's assertion that blacks could never be citizens of teh United States. That was the purpose for the amendment, not illegals or sojourners (travelers here temporarily).
If you care to read the opinion, Gray dances with trying to distinguish Native Americans who were not US citizens if they were on reservations at the time versus Wong Ark. He failed miserably. Congress in the 1920's eventually made Native Americans citizens by birth using legislation.
That is the out that I think Scotus may take. Leave it up to Congress.

Read it years ago. In context, to my layman's eyes it, it said he has the same status as his parents.
BTW - this was pre-19th and his status would have been derived from the father's status (mother if father unknown, or a foundling), as would the mother's status. 19th unexpectantly squashed the concept of 'derived' citizenship - As of c.2000 there were still forms on-line for women to resestablish their citizenship if they married an alien post-19th.

I'll take Congress, as fleabitten and conflict of interest ridden, more than Court diktats. That was a particular conceit of Scalia that does not reflect well on him. He disliked Congress as an institution after spending time working there early in his career. Judicial Supremacy is not a fit substitute because constitutional amendments are very hard to get passed, almost impossible under the current climate. So, justices invent, distort, or otherwise mangle the Constitution and Bill of Rights without oversight nor the slap in the face of amendments. It took a Civil War to fix what Scotus had been doing for 75 years via THREE amendments.
And they did it early one with their funhouse mirror decision in the 1790's that caused the 11th amendment to be ratified to check the court early on.

Much as I like Trump's order emotionally as righting a serious wrong in depreciating US citizenship, I think it is a reach for the president to do it alone absent wartime conditions.
Given the limit on citizenship in the 14th aka "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" (acknowledging both Indians and what common law called sojourners aka travelers), did not get birthright citizenship, the word jurisdiction is very important. It implies that Congress (which is repeated multiple times elsewhere) has control of what the court can hear including who is a citizen and who is not. Thus, they can regulate aka make laws about it.

By the way, this is why, even though I believe Congress has the right to set tariff policy, then decided to give that power to POTUS so they can avoid making the tough decisions, Trump should fight to keep the power that he has. If Congress gets that 'right' back, they will never, ever use it.

Because when citizenship was extended to the American Indians, who were born in the borders of the US, Congress had to pass a law to do so.
If Birthright Citizenship was a real thing those Indians would have been citizens merely by being born on land the US had acquired.
Posted by: 18-1 at April 18, 2025 02:10 PM (t0Rmr)

Which is why the Solicitor General needs to be forceful on the response:
The resolution of the status of those here born to parents not legal permanent residents is not before the Court at this time.
The only question before the Court is whether the 14th means those born to parents here illegally are citizens.
The President intends to follow the law and has determined they are not citizens.
Congress--and only Congress--as it did for American Indians--can resolve the question as to what to do with those children.

It means that citizens, if they want this, get off their ass and prod their idiot members of Congress to pass it.
For obvious reasons, leaving it to Congress removes the problem of anchor baby adjudication from the court as to whether their decision withdrew existing citizenship etc. If they leave it to Congress, then they can ignore applications of the decision retroactively.
Otherwise, you might just get a Scotus decision that puts anchor baby status beyond reach without a constitutional amendment.
Once again, what I prefer, I do not make the mistake that Scotus will agree so my analysis is objective, not normative.

How many Americans live in a congressional district where there weren't an overwhelming number of fraudulent votes.
The odd thing about our current political state is that most of the red House seats are mostly fair elections which is why occasionally Dems can get elected even in deep red areas if the R office holder pisses the voters off enough.
But most of the blue seats are controlled by fake votes. In theory if you did get 80% or more of the actual citizens there out to vote maybe they could overcome the fraud but...they don't and won't.

It was and is more to the point that Indians did and do have sovereignty on reservations equivalent to states. That means only the federal government has power over them, not states nor localities.
As a result, I would, however, be very careful not to violate the law on reservations as federal review of Native American courts on reservations tends to be very slow. And doubly careful for any financial contract dealing with natives on reservations.

Like, if the US can exercise it's law enforcement power over the person, that person is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
But, ask them to name a class of persons who could enter this country and NOT be arrested if they commit a crime.
Name one person who enters the United States that isn't "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" under their definition.
They can't.
They'll try to cite diplomats. But that's not immune from arrest--that's immune from prosecution.
And that's not a "get out of jail free" card for all crimes.
It's only for some crimes.
Even diplomats are "subject to arrest."
Yet, the 14th drafters felt it necessary to specifically exclude diplomats.
Why would it have to say "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" if diplomats were already specifically excluded?
So that's were we need to go:
Demand they name one class of people--any at all--that enter and are not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."

Mexican. Came to Georgia 20yrs or so ago and popped out a son. Returned to Mexico with son and was there til he was about 16yrs.
Son, who speaks no English but some sort of Mexican, was arrested in Florida driving with a suspended license. Had been arrested with a DUI a few weeks prior. Now in ICE custody for deportation.
His mother arrived to the court waving his birth certificate and, I guess, SS card. The FL judge said the birth certificate had "water marks" as real. And that she could not save his sorry ass. I can't recall if Mama speaks English, altho she needs to wash her hair.
The wails of the commenters ranged from "we will all be deported" to he is a citizen. One who speaks no English and spent most of his life in Mexico. Simply arriving on our soil to be hatched for future gain. The two illegals in the car with him were also detained.
The commenters are fixated on Hitler and, while their nationality is unknown, this is Hitler and no one will be left in the USA soon. Good. My ancestors did not arrive illegally.

Not so. Subject to the jurisdiction thereof language did not explicitly refer to Indians not taxed in that day's vernacular. The 14th was made specifically to reverse Dred Scott's ruling that blacks could not be citizens of the US despite what states did. You can go read up on the debates in Congress and even state legislatures about it. It was never intended to ratify jus soli as Gray proposed as the subject to the jurisdiction thereof actually limits jus soli to special cases and jurisdiction (using Article III) means something that Congress can regulate as it does for the Court in general.
That was the intention and the words behind the 14th and your argument is ahistoric as far as what was intended. The Civil War amendments were passed as a package to ensure that Dred Scott (and its predecessor of Barron v. Baltimore) were explicitly overridden. Remember, they fought a war over citizenship for blacks. Not so for illegals nor Indians.

It started in 1954 when the monstrous Warren Court decided people had just been misreading the 14th Amendment for the last 90 years, and that these little sparks of the divine needed an opportunity to stab white kids in the heart. Because equality. (Communism.)
It’s a direct line from that to the rise of the welfare state, “disparate impact” (because if anything results in inequality of outcome it must be a violation of the 14th Amendment), DEI, and anchor babies.

Justice Gray did a bad tapdance to distinguish the case from non taxed Indians aka Indians living on reservations who do not pay federal taxes when living and working on it. But the court's poorly worded and supported decision was essentially because Wong Ark Kim's parents were here legally under federal immigration laws at the time and then Wong Ark was born here, he is a citizen.
The fact that Wong Ark Kim's parents were here legally in the first place under congressional laws is close enough to meet the definition of subject to the jurisdiction thereof and thus that applied to their child.

If I were Anthony's lawyer, I know that there's no way that my client doesn't fry with a jury picked from the district - it's not in dispute that there are witnesses that saw the 1st degree murder take place. My only chance to win would be to change the venue. Looked at that way, everything that the family is doing now makes sense in that light.

Which by doing so in the federal government, Congress is asserting jurisdiction over them (the legal right to make rules for that class and to have courts consider that class as having standing to argue about issues affecting them as citizens).
The most power that Congress has over the courts is both jurisdiction (see Marbury as well as Ex Parte McCardle) and spending such as creating new courts. Far easier to do either than impeachment.

He may have a birth certificate, maybe a real one vs forged, but he does not speak a word of English and ICE determined he was illegal. That was what the story said.
If I arrived in Italy to have a baby and then go back to the USA, perhaps son's birth certificate would read Italian. However, if my kid was raised in America and I am American I guess it is dual citizenship?
Whether or not he is in a gang I don't know. It may be a muddy deal to see through. However, between the dramatic glamour shot of Mama and it being Yahoo, there were a lot of gaps in the story.
Basically, in my opinion, if he spent most of his life in Mexico and can't speak a word of English, he is an anchor baby born here for our benefits. They did not stay.
Which is different from families who do. Why, after 20-30yrs they don't become legal citizens is a mystery. Still speak their native tongue and many don't bother to learn ours. Maybe they were criminals. Former DUI's are common with them here killing Americans.

Doesn’t matter what language the kids speaks or where he is raised. You as an American citizen give birth to a kid. That kid is a citizen as well. It’s why the Obama birth certificate thing was so dumb. Even if he was born in Kenya he’d still be a natural born citizen given his mother was a citizen at the time of his birth.

Awhile back, we had a prisoner takeover the courtroom and shoot people live on video so no way to dispute someone else did it. He got a change of venue but it was to a rural region where he was promptly convicted after a very expensive trial. About bankrupted the state's public defender fund because of it.

Mother is Mexican and not a US citizen in the Yahoo story. She popped out the kid (I almost wrote pooped out by accident, which could be true as well) in Georgia to return to Mexico after his birth. At age 20 or so he retuned here illegally.
The story does not mention why he returned. But ICE is going to deport him back to his homeland from FL.
I have no doubt immigration lawyers are involved and put this sob story out for sympathy. Commenters mourned. I did not comment nor mourn as he had a former DUI, was driving on a suspended license, and I have seen people injured or dead because of their illegal status when working in an ED.

CNN: Trump and Musk Murdered a Federal Worker By Worrying Her With DOGE Cuts Until She Had a Heart Attack
You've got to be ****ing kidding me with this sh** now, CNN.
You cannot be serious. You simply cannot be. I know what you're thinking -- this bureaucrat was probably in terrific shape, which means that the heart attack was caused not by 50+ years of unhealthy living but just by Trump's and Musk's nefarious plotting. And you're absolutely right -- she was an original member of the George Floyd Memorial Crossfit Center.
In a federal workforce racked by stress and fear, one family shares a story of death By Sean LyngaasHe's a "cybersecurity reporter," which we know now just means "he pushes censorship and propaganda behalf of the left and the Deep State." Here's another example of his neutral, objective reporting:
'It's a bloodbath': Massive wave of job cuts underway at US health agenciesIt's almost as if he's a propagandist who is fighting for bureaucrats to keep their phoney-baloney jobs by This One Neat Trick of claiming every run-of-the-mill redundancy is a "bloodbath" or "slaughter" or, as in this case, a stealthy murder committed by use of the ultimate poison: Dark MAGA DOGE.
Stress and anxiety had been building for weeks in Monique Lockett, a 25-year veteran of the Social Security Administration, about the fate of her colleagues and the sensitive agency data she had vowed to protect, her sister Ksha told CNN.That's apparently not a typo. Her name is "Ksha," no vowel in the beginning. I believe Ksha is the third moon of Planet Vulcan but I'll have to double-check that. Please do not pump that disinformation out there until it's confirmed.
Yes, that's because she was crazy and neurotic. And her morbid obesity probably contributed to that. Obesity puts strains and stresses on the body, and therefore on the mind.
In February, amid sweeping changes to the federal workforce, Monique was five years from retirement but was facing one of the most uncertain periods of her career, according to Ksha. She was growing increasingly concerned about what Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency might do to the agency. "My sister had a lot of anxiety around the changes that were happening in other agencies and, inevitably, what would happen to Social Security," Ksha told CNN. "She was concerned about the overall well-being of everybody that she worked with because it was stressful for a lot of people."
Mental patients should not be working for the federal government. Sorry not sorry.
The Trump administration's demolition of federal programs and jobs has sent waves of anxiety and depression through a government workforce that is experiencing anger, hopelessness and worries about people harming themselves, according to interviews with federal workers, their family members and mental health professionals who spoke to CNN.
You're literally erasing the existence of bureaucrats, Hater Bigots.
Since the beginning of the DOGE-led program cuts, falsehoods have proliferated online about alleged fraud and wasteful programs, fueling a caricature in some Americans' minds of an inept or corrupt federal worker.
By the way, CNN then links to this related story:
Monique's final days were spent in that climate of fear and stress while feeling devalued in the workplace, before dying on the job two months ago, according to her sister.
Gripping stuff. Back to the "Trump and Musk did a murder" exposé:
Related article 'It is a wrecking ball': Former DOGE worker describes Musk-led government-slashing effort from the inside
"It was very upsetting to her to hear that what they did wasn't valued, what they did wasn't important and certainly that what they did was wasteful," Ksha said. Monique died of hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease -- a buildup of plaque in the arteries -- according to Stephanie Moore, a spokesperson for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland.As everyone knows, people build up lethal levels of plaque in their arteries over a matter a few months. Your arteries are clean, Trump gets elected, and then bang, four months later, you're as dead as Hunter Biden's legal career. And watercolor career. Note she died two months ago so Trump and Musk worked their deadly spells over just two months, January and February. This... is CNN.
How about chronic morbid obesity? Does that have any impacts on people's cardiovascular health? Or is it just the Heart Attack Laser Beams that Musk fires out of his eyes?
It is impossible to know exactly what factors triggered Monique's health emergency that day. Chronic stress can increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, according to medical experts.
Well as long as you can cite that to an expert, like the woman's sister "Ksha."
Ksha believes that stress may have been a factor in her sister's death.
Sleep is a telltale symptom of lethal stress, as you know. Whenever I get stressed out so bad it hurts my health, I take a little nap. It puts me right out, like cheddar cheese.
Monique usually called Ksha when she got to the Social Security Administration's vast campus outside of Baltimore, but Ksha's phone didn't ring the morning of February 18. Monique came in and went to her desk, where she fell asleep, according to a Baltimore County Police report that the agency shared with CNN. Paramedics spent about 40 minutes trying to revive her, the report says, but the 53-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
Oh so there are alternate theories in this Murder Mystery. But nah, it was probably Trump.
Complications from Monique's disease can include a heart attack or stroke. According to the report, Ksha told police that Monique had obesity and high blood pressure, which she was taking medication for. Co-workers told the responding police officer that Monique was "not in a [sic] visible signs of distress" prior to falling asleep, the report said.
When a cause of death is related to atherosclerosis, "stress can certainly play a role by increasing blood pressure and cortisol levels" -- a "stress hormone," said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University. "Chronic stress can also lead to increase in inflammation, which plays a role in both formation of new atherosclerosis and acute events." A spokesperson for the Social Security Administration, or SSA, confirmed to CNN that an employee died at the agency's headquarters on February 18 but did not respond to further questions.February 18th -- Trump took office on January 20th. He killed her not in a couple of months, as I stupidly claimed above, but in just 29 days. Just one Leap Year February was all it took for Trump and Musk to choke her arteries with budget-induced plaque.
The DOGE team at SSA has grown to at least 10 people in the administration's three months in power, according to court documents. The Trump administration has tasked DOGE representatives, some of whom are detailed from other agencies, with finding fraud in the Social Security payment system -- while granting them access to sensitive data on millions of Americans.That has nothing to do with the bizarre main claim in the article. It's just additional propaganda this "journalist" wanted to get in. Here CNN links to another CNN exclusive:
Back to Sean Lyngaas's breathless propaganda:
Related article GOP states go 'DOGE-ing,' mimicking Musk's branding as they call attention to spending cuts
She died protecting illegal aliens from having fraudulently-obtained benefits from being blocked. What a hero.
A federal judge on March 20 blocked DOGE's access to the SSA data that contains personal identifiable information and accused DOGE of being "essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA ... without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack." The multiple emails, sometimes on weekends, that the Trump administration has sent to SSA employees asking them about their productivity has had a "whiplash effect," according to a former SSA employee familiar with projects that Monique worked on. "It's creating a level of anxiety that's making it hard to do their jobs. These are good people who are being traumatized." Monique "was an integral part of ... making sure that people's information was kept safe," Ksha said, and that "the right people had access to the right information."
... A spokesperson for DOGE did not respond to multiple phone calls and emails seeking comment.Because you're a silly pussymouth bitch specializing in Teen Beat panic porn for psychotic aging white leftwing women who are dead from the waist down and who can no longer feel any emotions except for fear and outrage.
People do get stressed about the fear of being fired from their jobs... this happens all the time in the private sector. Every time one company buys another, everyone is afraid for their jobs as they know the first thing that will happen is that many of the employees of the old company will be fired. Again, this is just standard life stress that everyone has to deal with. Everyone, that is, except our precious extremely-highly-paid bureaucrats, who get paid like lawyers but have the job protections of longshoremen. And they can retire at 58. CNN saw that the Daily Beast was getting Outrage Clicks over their own story of woe and heart-ache, and wanted to get in on that scam. Here the Daily Beast tells the sad and terrifying story of a Social Security worker who refused to do as his superiors instructed and then refused to leave his desk when he was fired. Ultimately she was dragged out of the office by, quote, "DOGE goons."
"What happened to Monique was truly sad and tragic, literally shook me to the core," an SSA employee told CNN.
'Total fear and demoralization' Other current and former federal employees told CNN they have felt depressed or were concerned about colleagues harming themselves amid the layoffs and reorganizations. Alex Berman, an Internal Revenue Service employee who is a union leader in the Philadelphia area, said he has heard directly from colleagues who have experienced panic attacks and anxiety attacks in recent weeks. In nearly 20 years as a union official, Berman said, he has talked with "a lot of people at the ends of their ropes." "A lot of times, I'm happy to say that I was able to stand between them and the end of the cliff," Berman, whose agency is facing a potential 20% reduction in the workforce by DOGE, told CNN. "The few who could not step back from the cliff's edge will forever haunt me. And I can't help foreseeing more to come."
DOGE Goons Physically Drag Social Security Worker From DeskFatal heart attacks and now paralysis.
The high-ranking civil servant had opposed a plan to push out migrants by falsely listing them as dead.
A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to The Washington Post. Greg Pearre, a career civil servant who led an IT team working on the agency's data systems, was removed over his opposition to a DOGE plan to cut off immigrants from key financial services, three people told the Post. The scheme cooked up by Elon Musk's DOGE squad falsely lists thousands of migrants as dead in a Social Security database known as the "death master file." Being entered into the death database cuts a person off from crucial financial services, like the ability to receive government benefits and access a bank account or credit card. The goal was to push migrants who were granted a temporary legal status under former President Joe Biden to "self deport."
Jim Francis, a consumer law lawyer who is suing Social Security for wrongly entering a Maryland woman into the file, cast the repercussions in dire terms. "It's the source of that data that the whole world uses, which is why, if it's inaccurate, it has such devastating impacts on people," he told the Post. "Overnight, you literally become financially paralyzed."
... DOGE had been working on a strategy to push out immigrants since February. A group of about a dozen civil servants from Social Security were assigned to help Musk's goons--and agents from the Department of Homeland Security--with the plot.February? Why that's when they killed young, healthy Monique? Coincidence? I don't want to start any conspiracy theories but the theory that Musk and Trump have conspired to spray the Social Security building with Heart Attack Paralysis Gas is now proven.

If you’re getting a refund you’re giving the govt an interest free loan for a year.
It also doesn’t mean anything either way. I could have a $100k tax liability. I paid $101k and got a refund for $1k. Or I could have a $2k liability, I paid $1k, so I owe $1k.
Getting or not getting a refund is nothing but a timing issue. Has nothing to do with income or how good some’s life is.

Because:

2) Exposes massive number of imaginary people getting benefits
3) exposes the massive amount of fraud, that able-bodied are on SSDI
4) and this is the biggest--under the KYC rules implemented by Biden, financial institutions have to confirm and report the SSN of all customers.
Meaning every fraudulent loan, disbursement and application can be tied directly to the bank account--and the specific person--who stole OUR money.

At this point, I think my wife is HER therapist.
My wife readily admits that she "feels too much" and she "thinks too much", but I knew this when I married her, and I still love her more than life. After almost 37 years of marriage, I'm good with all of it. I just wish she was.

It's commensurate with the amount of grief the federal government showed my family when my father was struck with a massive stroke and was bedridden for five years while I wiped his butt and changed his adult diapers everyday.

Well, just in case you didn't think the Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony case couldn't bring any more drama, you were wrong.
A 'swatting' call was made Thursday to an address linked to the family of the Frisco teenager who was fatally stabbed at a track meet earlier this month, police confirmed to The Dallas Morning News.
Frisco police said officers responded earlier in the evening to a gunshot call to an address involving Austin Metcalf's family. Grant Cottingham, a police spokesperson, said the call turned out to be false.

Obesity and high blood pressure and medication. When I was on medication for high blood sugar, I was told to monitor my blood sugar levels. Too high over long period of time is dangerous to one's health, but too low over a short period of time could kill you almost immediately. When blood sugar goes too low, you can pass out.
That's my guess as to what happened here, when it says she "fell asleep" at her desk. Guessing she was on some blood sugar medication in addition to the blood pressure meds and her blood sugar went dangerously low. She then did not eat anything to get her blood sugar back to normal levels and ended up passing out and never waking up.
Definitely a tragedy, but to tie it to Trump and Musk is ridiculous.

THE MORNING RANT: The Slippery Slope to (Re)Normalizing American Slavery Keeps Getting Slipperier
In my post earlier this week I expressed my concern that Principled Free Traders pretty much openly express their support nowadays for the use of overseas slave labor in the manufacture of consumer goods imported into the U.S., and what this situational tolerance for slavery portends.
The disturbing end point for this “libertarian” passion for the elimination of labor expense, despite the ongoing need for human labor, is a return to the “peculiar institution” that western nations finally abolished in the 19th century. Principled Free Traders are already quite open about their enthusiasm for the use of overseas chattel labor in the name of increased corporate profit and lower consumer prices. What is the principle that allows free trade libertarians to be comfortable with foreign slavery but not domestic slavery? It seems like a slippery slope.I also noted how those most passionate about offshoring American industrial jobs tend to be the same people most enthusiastic about opening the U.S. border to an off-the-book, in-the-shadows workforce for those jobs which cannot be offshored. The common denominator is that there is a passion to reduce labor expense to as close to $0 as possible, be it with overseas slaves or with domestic illegal labor.
Isn’t it puzzling that “free market libertarians” who do chest-bumps and grave dances to celebrate American industrial workers losing their jobs are also passionate about importing off-the-book labor to do “the jobs that Americans won’t do.”It’s all coming full circle now. Slavery is back in the American South, and it’s the perfect confluence of the libertarians’ ideal labor forces – foreign slaves serving as unregulated domestic labor… “Three arrested in wake of ‘massive’ labor trafficking bust in Georgia” [Atlanta Journal Constitution – 4/12/2025]
Employees were Chinese nationals who had been recruited through a temporary visa program and promised high salaries. Instead, they were allegedly required to work 12-hour shifts, and they were not allowed to leave the factory or their residence. [Assistant District Attorney] Waldo said there were several calls to authorities reporting slave labor-like conditions, WBHF reported.Libertarians and Principled Free Traders swoon at the idea of being able to control Chinese nationals who work 12-hour days and are prohibited from even leaving their apartments without their
The authorities’ arrival at Wellmade Industries in Cartersville, roughly 40 miles north of Atlanta, was the culmination of what an official described as a “massive” labor trafficking investigation. At an April 4 news conference, Steven Schrank, special agent with a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), said law enforcement encountered 60 victims of “horrific” forced labor.Who owns Wellmade?
These sweeps yielded two arrests: Wellmade Industries’ owner, Zhu Chen, and his nephew, Jiayi Chen. A third person connected to the company, Jian Jun Lu, was arrested April 5. All three face felony charges of “trafficking of persons for labor or sexual servitude.”The operation that Wellmade ran in Georgia is exactly what Principled Free Traders advocate for when they celebrate American jobs being replaced by Wellmade-style slaves in China and elsewhere. Again, if slavery is wrong when practiced in the state of Georgia, how can we condone the exact same slavery being used to produce goods being sold on American shelves so long as the slaves are located in foreign lands. If re-shoring slavery would result in lower consumer prices, how could libertarians object? They already embrace and endorse slavery, at this point we’re just talking about its geographic location. As I said, it’s a slippery slope that’s getting slipperier. And to be clear, slavery is an abomination before God that should not be tolerated anywhere. It is beyond despicable that there are “respectable” voices on the right who advocate for the exploitation of slave labor in the name of “free trade” and “lower consumer prices.” [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

Essentially for 'free trade' to work, over time, it requires 'free movement' of workers from around the world to equalize wages and that presupposes that their workers will be content with their lot and not try to impress their culture eventually on the existing one.
---
Ultimately, people forget that Adam Smith was not a doctrinaire free trader of the modern libertarian stripe. He saw his book, the Wealth of Nations as a corrective to the widespread mercantilism that was hurting the average person in 1776 and was not an ideologue like others after him--Ricardo and Mills. It is based, in part, on his little read now but influential at the time, Theory of Moral Sentiment.
That attempted to show how even selfish interests can be channeled into the market for doing good. But not that unfettered trade nor selfish interests should dominate the political discussion of issues.

Do people really believe that the US manufacturers outsourcing to forced labor countries will not be willing to enslave American workers including children so that they can have more billions?

However, the point that Libertarianism as a formal theory is utopian no less than Marxism in nature and seeks to impose top down theory on a very complex society needs to be considered. People do not behave as predicted in either Marxist or Libertarian thought and true examples of either in real life can be shown to exist.
I find it more useful as a critique of current policies instead of a coherent theory of government and society.

Trump has opened up the government website on COVID again.
There have been some slight changes:
COVID.gov
Instead of displaying info on the virus and vaccines, etc., the site is now an indictment on the natural origin theory and puts the blame squarely on China and the Wuhan lab.
And then it goes on to question the U.S. health authorities' actions and mandates, as well as blaming Fauci.
Trump is turning this entire thing around on the Dems and China, and I love it.

Plus, the outsource issue isn't just about foreign workers being cheaper (whether slaves or otherwise). Jobs moved overseas not only because of cheap labor, but also because of suffocating USA regulations, expensive real estate and infrastructure, litigation risk, sky-high insurance and similar costs, the whim of politicians, etc.

"There are only two conceptions of human ethics, and they are at opposite poles. One of them is Christian and humane, declares the individual to be sacrosanct, and asserts that the rules of arithmetic are not to be applied to human units. The other starts from the basic principle that a collective aim justifies all means, and not only allows, but demands, that the individual should in every way be subordinated and sacrificed to the community--which may dispose of it as an experimentation rabbit or a sacrificial lamb. The first conception could be called anti-vivisection morality, the second, vivisection morality. Humbugs and dilettantes have always tried to mix the two conceptions; in practice, it is impossible.”

And free trade just like any other policy has winners and losers in the domestic sphere. The winners inevitably think this is the nature of things and to depart from it will be woeful. The losers cannot wait to overturn the winners.
Policy is lumpy in who wins and who loses--who pays and who gets paid. We forget that sometimes in vague abstractions of GDP and other derivative indexes of the economy and society.

That was actually happening in the American south during slavery. The slaves were expensive to maintain, and their productivity was low. Slavery probably would have died out on its own. But then came the cotton gin. That drastically spiked slave productivity on a very valuable crop at the time.

THIS! I would argue it's cheaper in the long run to pay the true price of wages and goods. Because there is a social cost on top of the fiscal. Schools are overrun by non English speaking kids. There's a failure nor any incentive to assimilate. Crime that comes with it and the decreasing of wages to others. It's a death spiral in many ways.

No, it's both a moral and an economic problem. My response to your first comment was based on morality. I didn't mention the damage done to our own economy by overseas slave labor. Nonetheless, that damage is very real.
The difference between a slave and a low wage worker is that the latter at least has SOME agency, and can move to another job or not show up for work. They may not have good alternatives, but they have something.
I am not so naive as to think all we have to do is demand that other countries must match what our workers have. Demanding that foreign workers be given the same salary and bennies that American workers get would simply mean they would have NO jobs at home, and would likely start looking to move here or to some other wealthy country, illegally or not.

That was the previous system. It was replaced by slavery when Anthony Johnson -- a black man and former indentured servant/sharecropper -- won a legal case over whether he had contract rights over his indentured servants, or whether he owned them outright. He won the case. Slavery became the norm.
At first, it was people of all races who were slaves in the USA. But the endless civil wars in Africa created a cheap and easy supply of labor, so eventually the slave trade became almost exclusively African.

Of course, this is all complicated and simplifications downplay the tradeoffs.
If I had my way, I'd slap a 100% tariff on any country that did not have a full and effective Bill of Rights.
If a billion Chinamen want to work for $0.25 an hour, that's fine.
But let's see how long that lasts if they have a billion guns, free speech and jury trials.

You really do not have 'free trade' if nations use various ruses under regulation like the EU or Japan do to deny free sale of US goods there. Tariffs are just the tip of the iceberg in trade matters.
Then there is the issue that most central banks manipulate their currencies for mercantilist reasons--it lowers the prices of their exports and raises the prices of their imports as to ensure their companies (not their citizens) benefit the economy.
Essentially where globalism comes in as a theory is that you must have free flow of capital, free flow of ideas, free flow of trade, and free flow of people so that borders become superfluous and by mixing the populations and societies thoroughly that peace will spontaneously emerge as everyone understands everyone else.
Also means that government becomes stronger than society in order to arbitrate disputes between groups in society.

The usual response by such people is that failure in policy results in doubling down whether in rhetoric (if not in power) or if in power, coercion.
Globalist aka Globo Homo do this all the time demonstrating they put ideology over what are real results from their policies. But, you see this doubling down, refusal to self correct, and being obstinate that just if implementation was done better, if the people understood the true policy better,and so on.
Something like True Communism has never been tried which explains the miserable history of how socialism and Marxism impoverish people in those systems. So you need better people aka New Soviet Man, you need more power aka Stalin's purges, you need more propaganda because people continue to fail to understand, you need to get rid of counterrevolutionaries, wreckers, and horders to fix agriculture, ad infinitum.

=====
Sugar plantations resulted in short life spans from various diseases endemic to swamps. Saw that in the US in Louisiana and the threat to sell and ship a slave 'down south' was considered a death sentence threat back in the day.
Sugar plantation deaths is probably why the US had roughly single digit share of transported slaves from Africa and the Caribbean and South American nations like Brazil got far more percentage wise to replace deaths from working conditions.
But, in some ways, the US system was worse because it relied then on breeding slaves for wealth as they could not longer be legally imported (although smuggling did occur). Interestingly enough, US Navy ships participated with the British navy after they outlawed slavery in their colonies in 1832. Both nations cooperated in trying to blockade slave ships from leaving Africa without seizure of slaver ships and immediate return to Africa of freed slaves. That was the US policy until the Civil War started.

What I mean by that, the US dollar being the “reserve currency”. It has allowed the politicians a virtually unlimited “credit card”, exporting monetary inflation around the world. There’s a reason no other national government is $38 Trillion in the hole, and yet can still borrow more at favorable rates.
The US resembles an open air insane asylum in so many ways, economically, spiritually, and physically - and much of it as deliberate strategy over many decades. None of this would have been possible without an “elastic currency” and pseudo-intellectual expert economists.
They can save the dollar, or save the markets, but they can’t save both. Clearly they have decided on inflating the markets for quite some time, and shoring up “too big to fail” financial institutions who have been playing games all along. It will be interesting at best to see how this shakes out. Reality will never be denied, however.

'Free movement of people' creates other problems in society as cultural incompatibility and the inevitable stronger government emerges to resolve the inevitable disputes between existing cultures and the imported ones. Sort of like new magma under a volcano that has not erupted for some time.
'Free movement of capital' inevitably seeks the highest return while seeking to minimize costs. Thus the owners benefit but the overall societies may not. Outsourcing is an example and so is offshoring.
Overall, I find libertarianism as a useful critique of human society and economic thought in particular However, I find it lacking as underlying ideals of how to set up a country because its base assumptions of how people and countries act is not supported by history. Aka utopian.
Marxism has the same problem.

That's fucked up. The man lost his son. Who the fuck are we to tell him if/when he should be forgiving the killer?
-----------------
Forgiveness is first requested not given. I have not seen the murderer admit his crime. He has shown no remorse nor made any visual acts of contrition; ergo he does not seek forgiveness. The father is a cuck.

“Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.”
Now many of the Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews.’”
Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

In 1627 Francisco de Zurbarán, then living and working in the provincial Spanish town of Llerena, painted this Crucifixion for the monastery of San Pablo el Real in prosperous Seville. In the dimly lit sacristy where it was installed, the image of Christ awed the faithful. A later commentator noted that it appeared to be a sculpture rather than a painting. Zurbarán envisioned the crucified Christ suspended outside of time and place. Conforming to Counter-Reformation dictates, the artist depicted the event occurring not in a crowd but in isolation. Emerging from a dark background, the austere figure has been both idealized in its quiet, graceful beauty and elegant rendering and humanized by the individualized face and insistent realism.

No. The whole point was to leave the person suspended vertically so that it became increasingly harder to breathe. Death by suffocation was the result, though sometimes it took days.

A request for assistance: I have looked for two paintings of Christ and the cross that have been posted here before. One was Jesus on the cross but with His Head lifted. The other was Jesus with a cross in front of Him, the impression I got was that the cross belonged to the viewer. If someone is able to post a link to either of those paintings, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance. I may not be able to respond later.

FWIW, over on Insty, Mark Tapscott put up his annual Hill Faith apologetic explaining evidence for the resurrection.
And just recently, archaeologists found in a dig within the Church of the Holy Selpulcher during remodeling and strengthening the structure (damaged by past earthquakes) signs that the tomb had gardens surrounding it.
Evidence is there if one seeks proof. Likewise, there is never absolute certainty in almost anything so the link between evidence and beliefs is faith.

I admit I'm fuzzy on the whole timing thing. Jesus was mounted on the cross in the morning. But doesn't the Bible say it was "the ninth hour" when He cried out for the last time, and died? Now the Romans counted from sunrise, which in spring would have been about six am, and the ninth hour would have been three pm. (They did the same in winter, but the hours were just shorter.) So He was up there for some five or six hours?

Wasn't he only on the cross for three hours, though? That doesn't sound like enough time to span both the morning sacrifice and the evening one.
And I think he died about 3PM, which doesn't sound like "evening" to me. (Even though it was dark due to His death.)

Next, the feet were fixed to the cross, either by nails or ropes. Ossuary findings and the Shroud of Turin suggest that nailing was the preferred Roman practice. (23, 24, 30) Although the feet could be fixed to the sides of the stipes or to a wooden footrest (suppedaneum), they usually were nailed directly to the front of the stipes (Fig 5). (11) To accomplish this, flexion of the knees may have been quite prominent, and the bent legs may have been rotated laterally (Fig 6). (23, 24, 25, 30)

Inexplicable and we have no technology to duplicate just how it was done and the ancients show no such sign that they developed it either as you would have found more shrouds such as the Shroud of Turin.
Again, turns ultimately on faith separating those that believe and those that do not. Sheep and goats in biblical language which is actually a real thing that shepherds even today have to accomplish when separating them for foraging. Goats can eat what sheep cannot and are more sure footed to eat on rocky hillsides. Sheep need better forage. And so on.

As they should, if the spiritual leaders do not believe in the tenets of their own faith, then they should not be a leader.
But, a lot depends on the exact exchange between people that we do not know. If the rabbi (or purported rabbi) had Jesus smacked in his face, then he might have replied in kind.
More or less, the division between Judaism and Christianity is identifying Christ as the Messiah. Both faiths rely on the prophesies in the Old Testament to make their case and the few historical facts and accounts to buttress their opinions--Messiah or not.
Christians take the first and Judaism the second which makes Christianity a heresy for Jews at the time and perhaps false teaching for Gentiles. Strictly speaking Christian Gentiles cannot be heretics from Judaism so there is that.
Islam classifies Jesus as a prophet which may also indicate past influences by iconoclasts in the Byzantine Church, Nestorians, Arianism, and various other disputes about the divinity and type of divinity Jesus represented.

The entire idea of proving or disproving the divinity of God or Jesus is misbegotten in that it is a matter of faith. If God had wished to allow such proof by science He could have done so; He chose not to. Subjecting divinity to science is like subjecting love to geometry.

Part of the argument, I think, was a controversial ossuary with possibly the name of Jesus on it. Problem with that is the name Jesus in Hebrew was not uncommon at the time especially after the crucifixion. It also assumes that roughly 500 or so witnesses were lying as to the Resurrection. In the end, it always comes down to belief and people will rearrange the facts in a way that makes sense to them.

Still, if Kamala runs, she runs away with it. She'll get something like 60% of the vote in the SC primary, a bunch of nobodies will drop out, she'll get a few more percent from those dropouts and people accepting the inevitable, and then she'll coast before Super Tuesday even shows up.

The (D) base narrative is that Trump stole the election from a Black woman. At least with the serious crazies. So it's not zero point zero.

The Morning Report — 4/ 18 /25
I'll keep it short this morning but I want to wish all of you a most joyous and blessed Easter in advance. Have a great weekend.
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.
- DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, THE COURTS, WASTE/FRAUD/ABUSE
- “A 2017 AmeriCorps Inspector General’s report found that the services volunteers provided were ‘four to eight times more than the same services’ provided by other programs between 2012 and 2013.”
AmeriCorps Employees Placed on Leave After DOGE Visit* * * * * - Team Trump's legal filing didn't pull any punches. It meticulously detailed how Boasberg's ruling attempts to usurp executive authority that the Supreme Court explicitly confirmed just last month. The 5-4 decision authorized these deportation flights, but apparently, left-wing district court judges think they can override the Supreme Court because “Orange man bad.”
BOOM! The Trump Admin Fights Back at Rogue Judge's Contempt Warning THE ECONOMY, STUPID - The ECB [European Central Bank] is expected to cut interest rates for the 7th time, and yet, “Too Late” Jerome Powell of the Fed, who is always TOO LATE AND WRONG, yesterday issued a report which was another, and typical, complete “mess!” Oil prices are down, groceries (even eggs!) are down, and the USA is getting RICH ON TARIFFS. Too Late should have lowered Interest Rates, like the ECB, long ago, but he should certainly lower them now. Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!
Can Trump Actually Remove Jerome Powell as Fed Chair?
- Trump hinted at moving to fire Powell, whose term does not expire until next year. The Republican president’s broadside comes a day after Powell said in a speech that Trump’s broad-based tariffs have left the Federal Reserve seeking “greater clarity” on the impact of policy changes in areas such as immigration, taxation, regulation and tariffs before making the move on interest rates.
Trump Says Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s ‘Termination Cannot Come Fast Enough’
- America’s manufacturing decline is the result of a bloated regulatory state that punishes producers and stifles growth.
Blame Regulators for Holding Back U.S. Manufacturing—Not Tariffs
- The U.S. labor market showcased its strength as the Department of Labor reported a decline in jobless claims on April 17, 2025. Applications for unemployment benefits fell by 9,000 to 215,000 for the week ending April 12, outperforming analysts’ expectations of 225,000 new claims. This drop underscores a robust labor market that continues to thrive as President Trump implements tariffs to protect and revitalize American industry.
U.S. Jobless Claims Dip, Signaling Trump Labor Market Remains Strong.
- The ructions in financial markets over the past few weeks and Washington’s dependence on foreign entities to keep funding our (over) spending illustrate why lawmakers need to do something to get our fiscal house in order.
Tariffs Won’t Solve Washington’s Biggest Problem: Overspending
- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is visiting the United States on Thursday to engage in trade negotiations with President Donald J. Trump, with the aim of reducing tariffs on European exports. The meeting comes in the wake of Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement imposing reciprocal tariffs on foreign governments with barriers limiting the purchase of American exports, including a 20 percent trade duty on goods from the European Union (EU).

- According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Southwest Land Border Encounters Report for March, Border Patrol agents arrested 15,527 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into the United States during the first two full months of the Trump administration.

The move comes after President Donald J. Trump’s border policies have significantly reduced illegal crossings in the area.
Trump’s Immigration Policies Are Normalizing Life on the Border for Residents.
- Worksite enforcement actions were ended during the Biden administration under the direction of then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In an October 2021 memorandum ordering ICE to cease large-scale immigration worksite enforcement raids, Mayorkas criticized the use of the raids as an enforcement tool saying, “The deployment of mass worksite operations, sometimes resulting in the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers, was not focused on the most pernicious aspect of our country’s unauthorized employment challenge: exploitative employers.” (We need to start arresting and prosecuting the employers - jjs)

No, The First Amendment Doesn’t Protect Anti-American Agitation* * * * * - Columbia University has told the Trump administration that it’s cracking down on antisemitic violence and intimidation and winding down DEI. But behind closed doors, the university’s Office of Institutional Equity, a new bureaucracy supposedly set up to address campus antisemitism, is targeting me for expressing my Catholic faith. I recently received an email from the OIE accusing me of “conduct that could constitute discriminatory harassment.”

- Only four Democrat lawmakers joined Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require states to obtain proof of citizenship before registering an individual to vote and remove all non-citizens from existing voter rolls.

Rarely but ever in any opinion will you see an appellate court use such flowery or effusive language.
It's a pretty disgusting "opinion" that embarrasses all decorum.
Not just the massive breach in referring to the "fine" judge (it's always, always "the court" because it's an office held not a nobility owned) but worse--nothing in the opinion is based on the record before the court nor a discussion of the applicable Constitutional implications.
The entire MSNBC-worthy screed can be boiled down to: We will teach Orange Man Bad to bow before us.
Are there no sane judges left who are horrified at the nuclear fire that will destroy the power of the judiciary that these idiots are playing with?

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- California Govenor Gavin Newsom announced Thursday night that the state plans to file a lawsuit over DOGE dismantling AmeriCorps.

But rates are still historically low. Instead of easy money enabling Wall Street to dominate, imo the reciprocal tariffs and rebuilding Main Street, along with USA manufacturing is a better path. Easy Al Greenspan (and others) enabled Wall Street riches, making the rich much richer, while middle/lower classes stagnated.
The role of the fed is stable currency, not enriching the rich via cheap money for the gamblers. A little weaker dollar might help us, but USD is still considered the safe harbor in troubled times.

Listen assholes:
1) It's "We the People." Not "We the judges." We--WE the People--get to say how this country is run. Not you.
2) You need to understand this:
Ten years ago, almost no one would have supported impeachment merely over rulings they disagreed with.
But because you dumb bitches so squandered your authority and legitimacy, bowing down to the Democrats over Covid, the 2020 Election and J6 to cause this.
That's what you should be horrified and offended by--not the People calling for impeachment, but the explosive growth of support to reach a majority for such.
You are not the Brave Hero defending the Republic--you are craven cowards clawing and scraping with every lie, deceit, deception and dishonesty you can muster to protect the the exiting corrupt order that has ignored and usurped the will of the people for decades.

Also watch your school system for "mission creep". Our school district is facing flat to declining enrollment. Yet they are expanding "services" to students. All types of mental health, community outreach, and so much more. Threaten to cut the budget and none of this nor administrative jobs are cut though -- they always threaten teachers and aide positions.

Regnus, too, was dead, for he was tied to a tree and shot with arrows when the painted men came to the sacking of Isca. Caradoc only was alive, but he was a slave to Elda the red Caledonian and his wife was mistress to Mordred the wild chief of the western Cymri."

Still no retraction of her false accusations of stolen valor. I don't know what to do next and no one will help me. As I see it, I have three choices.
1) walk away. Not going to happen, and it's not my flag to surrender anyway
2) libel lawsuit, which costs time and money, is not a sliver bullet and opens me up to countersue lawfare. I screenshotted everything and I think I would prevail, but filing would preclude:
3) resorting to violence, as I would be on record as primary suspect.
So looks like I need to either trust the legal system or start working up range cards. If anyone sees a better path, please let me know.

It's an administrative process because deportation is not irreparable harm. If you're here legally with a Passport or green card, you can hop back on a plane and come back. If you're illegally here, well, you're gone and the administration kicking you out is the right, legal action.

There was a budget fight in a town near me - the town had used "emergency COVID funds" to hire a bunch of permanent bureaucrats so when the emergency ended they "needed" a massive tax increase, mostly to balance the school budget.
One of the opponents of the tax increase had noted that over ten years the number of kids in school was down 33% but in that time the school budget had doubled. And...the proponents alternated in arguing it was because of inflation (and then that inflation didn't exist) and that the old spending levels were racist.

The guy knows how to win elections and he loves it. He also knows this waaay the fuck over in left field garbage is toxic for the party. And unlike a lot of others in the party, he isn't afraid to say it. For Carville, it's all about the party, winning elections, and staying on top. And he will throw those bombs at anyone he perceives as a threat to those things. Even if they claim to be demoncrats.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
at least we know that he's still alive and hasn't been murdered.....yet. Now put him on a plane and send him home. Fuck don-OLD and his merry team of trDUMPSTERS.
Yep. He's now too high profile to have him disappear into an unmarked grave. He needs to be sent back home, like yesterday.
Since Trump is now saying he has no knowledge of this situation, thereby throwing brainless bondi under the bus, I'm gonna guess someone in the courts told him shit is going to get real
Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen! I'm so proud of him. I'm so relieved. We gave a fighter! I'm crying!

The problem is politicians and business owners will cover each others asses. You don't see any business owners standing with Trump right now, do you? You take away the illegal hispanic work force in the housing construction boom in NC and what are you left with? Who is going to make up the loss in workers? If you think American white or black people are going to work for the kind of pay laborers get right now. A great many single hispanic male laborers live 3-4 in a home. Families live together as well. I see it day in a day out. After a year, they move out. For a long time the illegals never had bank accounts. they also went to the emergency rooms instead of Dr's offices. they didn't let themselves be accountable. They have it down pat. A lot move state to state. The illegal poplulation is now a fully systemic issue in the US. I doubt it will ever really be fully dealt with.

They continue under this delusion that the judges could affect the return at all.
The judges pushing this are pushing a fantasy and no more.
The worst a judge can do now is holding executive officials in contempt which will end up being meaningless. Criminal contempt gets pardoned. Civil contempt gets no DOJ backing for prosecution.
And that's assuming that SCOTUS isn't going to slap all of this down (they are, hearings on lower courts overstepping their bounds are scheduled in front of SCOTUS in about a month...even ACB has been writing for years about how the lower courts are out of control).

Scientists have discovered the strongest evidence yet of life outside Earth—a molecule linked to biological activity on a distant exoplanet
unusual_whales @unusual_whales
Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years from Earth called ‘K2-18b.’
While they have not yet declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms such as marine algae.
Mr Shelby @mrshelby101
Detection of Potential Biosignatures: JWST observations revealed the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in K2-18b's atmosphere.
On Earth, these compounds are produced solely by living organisms, particularly marine phytoplankton. The concentrations detected are thousands of times higher than those found in Earth's atmosphere, suggesting a possible biological origin.

PuzzledRaccoon @PuzzledRaccoon
Hey @grok how many human years would this trip take
Grok @grok 4h
A trip to K2-18b, 124 light-years away, would take about 2.186 million years with current spacecraft like Voyager 1, traveling at 17 km/s. Even with hypothetical advanced propulsion, reaching 10-20% of light speed, it would still take 620-1,240 years, far beyond human lifespans. Interstellar travel remains impractical due to vast distances and technological limits.

You can pay for the proper cost of labor, or you can pay for it in taxes to cover welfare for the permanently unemployed Americans.
I argue that the US taxpayer has been subsidizing corporate America for years after they shut down factories and moved them to slave labor countries. The businesses get improved profits, while the customer doesn't see the entire bill until tax time.

It has been oppressed in the UK for seemingly decades now and it does not seem to be faring well there at all.
Granted, I don't know what "fares best" really means.
Christianity has been oppressed here in the USA for decades as well and I would not say it has been faring well here either. Catholic Church here seems to be entirely left-wing, supporting all left-wing causes (global warming, BLM, illegal aliens, gender madness, LGBTQ+ nonsense, abortion, etc.). Christianity in general seems to be more about gaining followers rather than preaching the Bible's teachings and principles. See that "He Gets Us" campaign, for example.
Then of course there are all the denominations which support LGBTQ+ nonsense and support abortion.

Daily Tech News 18 April 2025
Top Story
- A federal judge has ruled that Google is operating an illegal monopoly - again. (Associated Press)
Google's search engine was found in violation of antitrust laws last August, and the company's ad division has now joined it on the naughty list.
This doesn't mean that either one is an absolute monopoly, and they're not. But companies with a dominant market position are restricted from certain business practices that are not in themselves illegal, and that's where Google has run aground.
Now the DOJ will be arguing for specific penalties (most likely forcing Google to spin off a small number of products into separate businesses) and Google will be trying to tie this up in appeals until the Sun goes out.
Tech News
- AGI is still thirty years away, like nuclear fusion. (Dwarkesh Podcast)
(There's a full transcript; you don't need to listen.)
The host makes the point that we've had rapid advances in AI technology over the past decade; the guests respond that this progress has come at the expense of, well, expense. The AI supercluster at xAI cost upwards of $2.5 billion to create, and similar installations exist at the other major AI companies.
And we can't replicate that over the next ten years because nobody has $2.5 trillion to build a computer a thousand times more powerful, or 35,000 methane-powered generators to provide the hundreds of gigawatts needed to power the city-sized cluster.
Now things get hard.
- There's a new Framework Laptop 13 in town, with a Ryzen 370 and up to 96GB (and probably 128GB) of SO-DIMM memory. (Tom's Hardware)
Still no Four Essential Keys though.
- A new GPS alternative from Australia is 10 to 50 times more accurate than existing alternatives. (Interesting Engineering)
When I first saw this it seemed to be claiming to be 10 to 50 times more accurate than GPS itself, but that's not it. If GPS is unavailable for any reason - something that happens a lot more often than you might think - this system based on existing maps of the Earth's magnetic field is essentially impossible to jam and doesn't rely on any other systems being active.
It's not as good as GPS, but it's better than other options when you don't have GPS.

I was using a phone for navigation to some place far away i'd never been to. Halfway there, my phone literally started smoking and melted itself. (short in the power jack, I figure). No written directions. Smelly interior. Totally lost. The rest station on the highway had a rack of old maps that were literally dusty crammed back in a corner. Bought one, and navigated to a literal dot on the map like some kind of neanderthal, then thanked the heavens that the address of the place I was going was XYZ South Number Street, Dotsville, NJ.

She gots lots of sleep yesterday, and had one major artery blockage cleaned out and stented.
She did well.
The unstated path forward is not surgery, from which she will not recoverer, but to do little things to get her more stable, then sent her home. This assumes no more heart attacks. Today I will listen for signs of what recovery will look like for her. I think ballroom dancing is right out.

Top o ta mornin to ya, gov'nor.
I think that the wiring and tubing in medical facilities could use a commonality redo. I see grey wire and green tubing for oxygen, but the rest is a jumble. Color coded wiring, with runs, and little pop-up labels on tubing would be an advance.
I think of how engineering plants have gotten better, with pipes color coded and all the labels.

A few months back we got buried in snow. Naturally this was the time that the snow blower said "I'm tired, boss." and stopped working. We have a very long driveway and we had to shovel it out. One morning, I woke up and it had been plowed clean. No idea who did it but we have a lot of folks with plows and we tend to take care of our neighborhood before the city sends folks. A day or two later, we get hit hard and the driveway gets buried again. I go out first thing in the morning with the shovel and it's been completely taken care of.
No note, no nothing. Even more surprising was the fact that none of our dogs felt the need to tell us someone was in the driveway.
Fast forward to yesterday and I run into my next door neighbor. Turns out that he asked another neighbor to take care of us since our snow blower stopped working. He introduced me to the man when I was taking the garbage out. I asked him what he would like in return and when he tried refusing, I insisted. So I'm picking up a case of beer today and I'll see if my wife can bake something.

In the main, they don't . . . but govt. is always fiddling, renumbering roads and adding bypasses and spurs. In 1980 here there was only one span of bridge across the river near downtown; now there are two, and some ramps have vanished and others have been added. And there is a completely new exit from the Interstate in the suburbs.

This is Aldi's brand. They also have a cheese version, and for $5 you get twenty-four ravioli in the box. That's a better deal for me than their six Salisbury steaks package for about $4, since you have to cook all six at once, then store the ones you don't eat in the refrigerator for reheating. Two to three meals vs. six to eight of the ravioli.
Plus I like the ravioli even more.

For years I subsisted on an English muffin with cheese, or toast with the same, and had salads and junk food at work. Then I became aware, once I'd bought a microwave, of the frozen beef & bean burritos you can get at Walmart and other places. And I've come to like eggs -- a food that didn't appeal to me when I was younger. Miss Linda guesses I'm sensitive to the presence of sulfur in foods, or used to be.
A scrambled seasoned egg atop a microwaved pot pie, chicken or turkey or beef, is good too.

Then I got tired of them and didn’t touch them for decades.
I tried them again a few years back just to see if they were as good as I remembered.
Now they are in the little microwaveable bowl-cans and they taste nothing like the old ones.
I’m not even sure if the little bit of meat in them is actually meat.
Maybe they are the same and kid me had less developed taste buds but I swear every “New & Improved” move food companies make ends up with a worse tasting product.

I loved those Egg McMuffins, always have.
But now I don’t want to drive to McDs to get that fix.
So Jimmy Dean has me covered.
They sell a box of four English Muffins with the egg, cheese, and sausage (no Canadian bacon version unfortunately) that taste as good as McDs.
The egg is a little thin, but it is pretty good for something that takes two minutes to heat up in the microwave.

All true,
And it’s just food,
I’ve been using Tide and Bounce for laundry for decades and in the last few years one, or the other or both, has me itching like crazy sometimes after a wash.
I don’t know if it’s the new chemicals they’re using or what but you’ll notice they all started selling ‘Fragrance Free” versions of their products in the last decade, to, I think, combat this problem of what they are putting in the mix.

Was discussed here not too long ago.
Canned, microwave, and fast food DID taste good. Because it was made of food. But to try to keep costs low the manufacturers would substitute something, then years later do it again, and again, and again. Each time chasing the worse changed recipe, not original.
Think of an old xerox machine making 20 copies, each time using the copy just made for the next one.

But rates are still historically low. Instead of easy money enabling Wall Street to dominate, imo the reciprocal tariffs and rebuilding Main Street, along with USA manufacturing is a better path. Easy Al Greenspan (and others) enabled Wall Street riches, making the rich much richer, while middle/lower classes stagnated.
The role of the fed is stable currency, not enriching the rich via cheap money for the gamblers. A little weaker dollar might help us, but USD is still considered the safe harbor in troubled times.

I don't think that's the ultimate problem. Could be solved one day.
It all hinges on the definition of "intelligence." If the secular humanists and Taylor Lorenz are right, living beings are composed entirely of matter. No soul, no conscience. We're just machines. It's all synapses firing in a manner predictable by physics and chemistry. AI should be entirely possible in that scenario.
But if we do have souls, AI can never be achieved. Never. Only glorified calculators.

Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's ONT We Go!
Greetings, Horde! Welcome to Thursday night. Say, anyone know what's going on in Florida?
They Want Us Dead
So, today on X a PHD student at George Mason University published the following manifesto on his substack: When Must We Kill Them?I do not wish for this essay to be a mere catalogue of outrages. The conduct of the present administration is as well known to you as it is to myself, and can be understood by any sensible person. On it, no further comment is ventured. What remains for us to decide is when we fight. If the present administration wills it, it could sweep away the courts, it could sweep away democracy, and it could sweep away freedom. Protest is useful only insofar as it can effect action. Our words might sway the hearts of men, but not of beasts. If the present administration chooses this course, then the questions of the day can be settled not with legislation, but with blood and iron. In short, we must decide when we must kill them. None of us wish for war, but if the present administration wishes to destroy the nation I would accept war rather than see it perish. I hope that you would choose the same.
There's more, but the grievances are imaginary leftist talking points. That doesn't really matter. What matters is that there is a real and growing movement on the left to normalize political violence. I am very much afraid that there is not much we can do to stop it at this point. GuerrillaLogistician has some thoughts: Bleeding America
Just like in the past, our politicians and population decided the best way to fix the problems of our nations was to compromise. Where in the past, Kansas was allowed by popular vote to either allow or prohibit slavery, we have done the same with ludicrous socialist agendas like DEI. As many of you know, DEI is the modern way to separate the bourgeoisie and the proletariat to create the flames of revolution they want. How do you compromise with people who are generally out to murder you over erroneous politics that don’t affect them as much as they think it does? Sure, you cannot believe me, you can feel that all of these little issues are dispersed over time and space enough that it’s just the media hyping up events because blood sells. You aren’t entirely wrong, either. This happens all the time, and we have to be cautious of that, but there is a point of no return, and there’s a point where you need to start looking at how things are shaping up. The two assassination attempts on Trump alone should have been a sign to everyone where this was going, then the car bombing in Vegas. With all this going on, what has happened is that the media downplays everything that doesn’t fit the narrative they are seeking to reinforce. They will do anything to mitigate the political differences that an ordinary person would see in these actions. The leftists and socialists out there will defend everyone they can who is politically aligned with them and will wholesale lie to achieve their goals. This does not mean that the conservatives have not done the same thing; however, they have been highly scrutinized since Trump has been in office. I think it is a good thing until you consider that both sides are not being treated equally. Spend any time looking at the troubles of Northern Ireland. You’ll see that the Catholics and Protestants probably could have lived together and coexisted with minimal issues if the political machine hadn’t started to treat the Catholics differently from the Protestants. What ultimately happened was a conflict in Ireland that never should have occurred in the first place. So, can we compromise with an ideological group that doesn’t see reality like the general population? That said, most of the general population isn’t even looking at the issues and probably won’t until it affects them. The reality is, though, the problems continue to grow daily, city by city.Now, I see folks on the right scoff at leftists like this little twink all the time, and one-on-one he's not much of a threat, the guy looks like he'd lose a fight with toast. But it won't be a one-on-one fight. It will be random attacks like the one on the congressional softball game. And it'll be bombs, the left loves their bombs. It's already started with Tesla dealerships. You say you're armed, and you can take any pinko punk who comes at you, and even if that's true, how are you going to defend against a Molotov cocktail tossed into the store you're in because the leftist propagandists made it the target of this week's two-minutes of hate for whatever reason? How do you defend your kids against an Antifa drive-by at their Catholic school because religion is bad, m-kay? How will you react when we're living through “the troubles” in Northern Ireland or Bosnia in the mid-90s? It's not going to be the Battle of Manassas. If the dam breaks, it's going to be way worse. It's worth thinking about. Related: Reality Isn’t Nice. It’s a 2×4 to the Teeth.
RIP 4-Chan No link, but 4-Chan was hacked and taken down this week, and it looks like it's not coming back. The software is a decade out of date, and a surprising number of the admin accounts had a .gov email address (Hmmm. Was it always a psyop?).

Heart Flight This happened in 1986, but it's still a feel good story. Honoring the F4 Hooligan's heart flight
His name is Andrew De La Pena, and he is now 32 years old. He was born in California, but has significant ties to North Dakota.Fargo to San Fran in just over an hour and a half, all to save a life. That F-4 jockey was burning holes in the sky, God bless him.
At just 5 months old, Andrew was in desperate need of a heart transplant.
Word came from Fargo through the Red Cross that a 4 month old had died from crib death....his heart had been resuscitated.
This opened the door for a life saving organ donation for Andrew. The challenge was getting the heart to California within hours.
It was a few days before Christmas. The Lehrjet parked at Hector International Airport in Fargo, that was supposed to take local doctors and the heart west, wouldn't start.
That's when a desperate early morning call was made to then Governor George Sinner. Sixteen minutes after Governor Sinner was notified, a call went out to the North Dakota National Guard base in Fargo.
An F-4 fighter jet with the North Dakota Air National Guard was scrambled. Brig. General Bob Becklund, who was a first lieutenant at the time and on duty, would be the pilot.

Hundreds of Volunteers Form a Human Chain to Get 9,000 Books to New Location for Indie Bookstore
Serendipity Books and its owner Michelle Tuplin had a problem: it was moving day, and 9,100 books needed to be packed up and sorted in the new location. She faced the prospect of closing down for several days at least—never a good thing on the tight margins of a bookstore.Good for them.
Taking to social media and putting out a call for volunteers among her many followers and customers, Tuplin received an overwhelming response, as 300 people showed up to lend a hand.
That’s when Tuplin came up with a novel idea: a human chain, or rather, two.
“It was just a joyful experience,” Donna Zak, one of the volunteers, told NBC News. “We were passing the books and noticing and commenting to each other, ‘Oh, have you read this one? I really enjoyed this one!’”
Fortunately for everyone involved, the new space was just 350 feet from the old one, and in just 2 hours, the entire collection had been moved and stocked—in alphabetical order no less.
Yuck!

House Comes With Dungeon, A Real “Handyman's Special”
I discovered a ‘torture dungeon’ of hidden rooms and passageways under my house
“Found a network of tunnels and rooms under my house,” the gobsmacked fellow wrote in a viral Reddit post alongside screenshots of his spine-tingling find. The photos depict stairs leading down into a basement, various dark passageways, and a maze-like area with multiple doorways.Looks like a basement to me, but Reddit never found anything it couldn't sensationalize.
Also shown are some very macabre-looking quarters, including a dingy, cell-like room with a grate on the floor and a shaft of light poking through the ceiling.
Another chamber features exposed piping and a single LED light illuminating the shambolic surroundings.
“The tunnels just keep going,” exclaimed the Redditor, who estimated there were five rooms in total, some of which featured running water while others had power.
The purpose of these subterranean chambers is unclear, but he pointed out that there were “many stained blankets, with perhaps blood.”

Hard to say from what little they show. It could just be a very cheaply done, but functional basement. However "Grate on the floor" is a bit disconcerting because I know enough from Soviet/German history as to why exactly you want that on your floor.

In the neighborhood I grew up in, there was lots of talk of small scale coal mining efforts back in the day. One day, a neighbor's basement wall caved in and revealed some shafts and passageways to the previously only talked about mines. Our parents lost their collective minds and we'd sneak into them as often as we could before the township filled and blocked the holes.

The reason the left engages in political violence and corruption is that the leadership pays no price for it. Assume you believe traditional notions of right and wrong are Christian hogwash. Why would you stop doing these things?
And the answer is as you note because you fear the opposition doing them right back to you. This doesn't mean some leftist street thug gets a couple months in jail - it means an Alex Soros or similar gets the chair.

Militarily confronting and annihilating the enemy usually solves this sort of problem.
We understood this when the enemy was Indians on the frontier or Germans trying to turn Europe into their empire. We nuked Imperial Japan. We were prepared to end human inhabitation of Earth rather than allow the Soviets to rule it. But for some reason now that the enemy is soy fags, Karens, bureaucrats, boardrooms, and rogue judges, we all wring our hands in fear.

They did this a lot from 2016 on. They say that Trump did or said "something" (they give it a descriptor) but never delineate it.
I remember seeing an article in the local lib rag - it was on someone's desk, swearsies - and in it it said that Trump had said this awful racist or whatever thing. Big headline and four full columns of an article talking about what he said and nowhere - NOWHERE - did it give the quote. Not one word of a quote.

They don’t like to think about the pain and suffering. They are uncomfortable with the anguish. They like to just be happy and clappy.

I just stumbled on something late this afternoon. Some astrophysicists from the U of Hawaii just dropped a paper a couple days ago. A big problem is what has become called the Hubble tension. It's a bit complex, but about measurements of the Hubble parameter, and it's current value today, H0, the Hubble constant.
The authors stumbled on to a resolution of the Hubble tension problem. And that is, a rotating universe. Very, very slight rotation. In terms that sort of make sense, although not really (this is only a term complex equations), the universe may have an "rpm" of one revolution per 500 billion years. This solves the Hubble tension.
Now this breaks isotropy, but not homogeneity. There would be a preferred direction in the universe. There have been every so slight hints of that. I've been going over this with Grok. It's amazing what Grok can do.

That’s the thing with Protestants.
Not all Protestants. Lutherans do a lot with Lent, and Holy Week.
We attended a beautiful and meaningful Maundy Thursday service this evening that ended with the stripping of coverings of the altar. Very moving. And the cross was draped with a black veil. The whole point of the service was Jesus' sacrifice.
Tomorrow is the Tenebrae service that ends with the sound of the tomb being shut.
Please don't paint all Protestants with a broad brush if you aren't familiar with their practices.

Because pain and suffering have exactly zero to do with atonement. There is absolutely no types or doctrines tied to pain and suffering only in the finality of death.
I am disappointed at pastors who on Resurrection Sunday make most of the sermon sound like a torture-snuff film recitation.
Please take John 19:18 which simply states "where they crucified Him" nothing about agony, pain, all of that emotional rhetoric that is so popular because none of that matters. Only the death and the manner in which it was performed.

Why? Sins not forgiven?
I think in every Christian's life there is that stake in the ground, the time one truly sees themselves as they are and like Job's self assessment concludes: "I am vile."
For salvation to be real, the sins must be forgiven and the bride made blameless. If one is blameless, then why the Guilt? The Guilt is accepting Satan's accusations that you are not made righteous and that you will die in your sins because you are unlovable.
Satan denies regeneration and perfection. Guilt is his tattoo on those who doubt their redemption.

When I was in South America, and the other kids found out I was a Methodist, they asked me questions like "don't you believe in Mary?" The Marian emphasis was foreign to me.
The answer I gave was that she was Jesus' mom, but the actual answer is that in a sect that emphasizes direct connection with God does not require intermediaries of saints and Mary. Not that there is no reverence, but it is not front and center.
An Empty Cross, An Empty Tomb is not a Catholic song, I don't think, but it is a decent idea of the focus on the Resurrection since that is what all the suffering was about, so that the cross would remain empty.

Little Johnnie's parents had tried everything to help his math grade: tutors, flash cards, "Hooked on Math," special learning centers, everything. Finally, they enrolled him in the local Catholic school.
The very first day, he came home with a very serious look on his face, went straight to his room, and started studying. His mother was amazed. Books and paper were spread out everywhere and Little Johnnie was hard at work. As soon as dinner was through, he marched right back up to his room without a word and studied some more. This went on for weeks until Little Johnnie proudly brought home his report card and showed it to his parents.
An A in Math!
"Johnnie! This is great! I'm so proud of you! Son, what was it? What helped motivate you? Was it the nuns?"
Johnnie shook his head.
"Well, then, was it the books? The discipline? The structure? The uniforms? What?"
Johnnie looked at her and said, "Well, Mom, it's like this. When I saw that guy out in the lobby nailed to a plus sign, I knew they weren't screwing around!"

Personally, I think the St Helena's cross, which is the traditional two pole plus sign we are used to seeing is merely a fake.
Christ was crucified on a tree. How do you think that he was "between two thieves" but when the Centurion went from one criminal to the next then to Christ last, how did that happen unless they were all crucified on the same olive tree.

Heard that one before and it's still funny. 'Cause it's true. I'm tellin' ya, the Math Nun in 7th and 8th grade had a quota for broken rulers, yardsticks and pointers. It just depended on how close she was when she spotten you committing an infraction. In second grade, while practicing for First Communion, me and another kid were whispering to each other. Nun in the choir loft spotted us and swooped down like a hawk, grabbing each of us by an ear and dragging us out of Church to receive a stern talking to.
Like the Carlin rountine: Mom goes to PTA meeting. Nun says I don't know why George is failing penmanship. His Mom says it's because you broke every knuckle in his hand!

The Puritans went a step further and decided that even observing the ChristMass was worshipping days or making an event an idol.
Massachusetts banned the observation of Christmas in 1689 because it was perceived to be a pagan and unholy celebration associated with excessive drinking and revelry.
King Chuck II told them to knock it off in 1681

The images in the Catholic churches, the big ones, the cathedrals and such, are there to show the word of God in stone to reinforce the sermons and by images ensure an illiterate congregation would have access to the word of God.
Protestant and definitely dissenter churches relied on the word as written in the Bible, and encouraged lay scholarship. This was in part due to the better literacy, but in a way also the fact that the founding churches were often quite poor, and needed to move a lot, in many cases because they were under some sort of ban and threat of arrest and execution. The more Puritanical and extreme churches made this this necessity into a virtue

Now this is fascinating. Where might this preferred direction, the spin axis of the universe be? Look up a star dubbed Polaris Galactus Borealis. It's about to transit here, and will be about 82 degrees altitude when it does.
That name suggest "north". It is, it's the pole star for the Milky Way (from our reference point here). That way is "up" relative the disc of the galaxy. IOW, the Milky Way may be aligned with the universe spin axis.
That spin axis is highly speculative, all around. That direction is a leading candidate. There are some other candidates.

Christ had to die in the form of crucifixion, because he wasn't murdered or killed, he voluntarily gave up his life. This is amplified when the Centurions noted that he cried out in a loud voice and the died much sooner than would be expected for those who are killed in that manner.
I have always been trying to figure out what other form of death could have substituted for crucifixion that would ultimately result in death, but would give the victim ample time to "give up their spirit" on their own terms.
Because crucifixion is particularly grisly, people overlook the purpose of why the crucifixion and focus on the things that don't matter such as pain and suffering.

We have a similar system.
All of the downspouts run into drain tiles that congregate at a cistern half filled with sand (as the filter). There is a pipe out of that cistern that drops down into a 16' deep cistern.
In the adjacent basement wall, a pipe comes in to a valve that says "Soft Water". It then goes to an ancient duplex pump and then into two aluminum 50 gal (?) tanks. The tanks have rounded ends, so I believe you were supposed to leave them pressurized.
That entire set up tells me how crappy our city water must have been in 1918!

I disagree. Denominations exist to fit the personalities of people. I assure you that Greek Orthodox or pre Vatican II parishioners would not feel settled or in a worship manner at a Pentacostal denomination.
Likewise OPC focuses on a bit of high church and sound teaching, where evangelicals want to party and have sanguine messages from charismatic speakers.
There are three doctrinal categories:
• Non-negotiable (eg. death, resurrection, deity)
• Distinctives (eg Pedo v Credo baptism)
• Charitables (lapsarianism, cessation of gifts, etc)
I'm glad its that way.

President Bukele sarcastically twatted that the idiot had been miraculously raised from the dead (a fine bit of humor in a country like El Salvador, actually, given the Holy Week thing), and is seen to be healthy. Bukele then posted something a while later (I think) saying he "loves chess". This, after all sorts of randos online acclaiming his genius at "trapping" CVHJr with the "optics" of the meeting.
The only miracle in Chris's career was his winning the Senate nomination in MD (another one-party state) by besting a black woman candidate. It was an historic eff-up by his opponent. Despite the weird triumphalism abounding, I doubt Chris takes any hits that matter from this appalling and bizarre performance. Country wouldn't be what it is if many voters had that much sense.

In the sense that it breaks isotropy of the universe, with a "special direction" it is, a universal spin axis.
Now, do that hint at something more profound, other than it happens to point thata way? Don't know.
Look up Nikodem Poplawski. He has quite some theory on a variation of "fecund universes". A spin axis for the universe is part of that.

St Helena had some sort of powers as a seer. She claimed to have discovered the site of the Hebrew Exodus and 40 year encampment (she was wrong). She also used skills like a water witcher to locate the burial place of the three wooden crosses and sponge 300 years after they were buried and forgotten.
Because Christians would never, ever, make shrines and venerate articles that our LORD touched or places He visited. They just promptly buried it all, forgot about it and went on with life.

This is not a criticism, but German Lutherans have lots of iconography, and the German Catholic church for some reason do not - or so some Germans have told me. I think the difference is that the German Lutherans were always the dominant church in their regions, where in England and Holland Protestants were very much suppressed minorities. I think that is the difference.

Here is a thought experiment. Tell me how deep a hole I need to have dug to place the base of a wooden structure in the ground so I can hang an unbalanced 140lb struggling weight to one side and not have it topple over.
Now tell me how large that pole needs to be (plus cross-beam) both in length and diameter to fulfill the use case of torturing and killing a human being off the ground high enough to not be rescued by someone and high enough to be a spectacle for the crowd.
You think that would be something that could be dragged along up hill for a click or two?

Crucifixion was a Roman practice, and they probably had it down to a science. I expect they kept a stock of suitable wood in the garrison just for that use. Cedar is also a pretty light wood. A twenty-foot 4X4 should be easy enough to tote.

Perot never wanted to be president. He went silent for a while until Bush started regaining ground then he barked up again.
He made sure that Bush didn't win. Always thought it was 'no new taxes' that burned Perot but Now the possibility of him not allowing Bush the drivers seat may have been a much more patriotic move.

There was a lunch-thief at my former job, who usually only stole cans of Pepsi, but sometimes a whole lunch (maybe to avoid getting caught while returning the lunch, after removing Pepsi?)
It was a bummer to those of us who got 'hit' but not the end of the world... Just really sucked because the job was very physical & we all looked forward to our refueling.

My iPhone's GPS places me about 1/8 mile south of where I actually am here in Sussex. That is to say, across the salt marsh that fronts our place and in the neighboring mobile home development.
Odd, that is.

Violence is violence. It's just a tool. It's a means to no specific end in particular. The entire field of "ethics" can be boiled down to "which ends".
To the question, "When is violence justified", there is a very distinct Us and Them that has always existed, with the Them generally holding a distinct if not overwhelming lead.
The Them say violence is justified when someone else isn't doing what you want them to do. The Us say violence is justified when someone else is trying to make you do something you don't want to.
Everything else is sophistry and distraction, post-hoc excuses for why other people not following your orders is sufficiently damaging to life itself that they must be stopped "by any means necessary".
One team thinks you get a better world through violence by using it to force certain behaviors. The other team thinks you get a better world through violence by using it to punish certain behaviors.
One is objectively Good. The other is objectively Evil.
I'm not saying anything new or clever here, I don't think.

Still no retraction of her false accusations of stolen valor. I don't know what to do next and no one will help me. As I see it, I have three choices.
1) walk away. Not going to happen, and it's not my flag to surrender anyway
2) libel lawsuit, which costs time and money, is not a sliver bullet and opens me up to countersue lawfare. I screenshotted everything and I think I would prevail, but filing would preclude:
3) resorting to violence, as I would be on record as primary suspect.
So looks like I need to either trust the legal system or start working up range cards. If anyone sees a better path, please let me know.

A Japanese commercial for Mouse. I didn't know what "Mouse" was before the commercial and I don't know after, either. A drone gets a little too close to the action (IG). These homeless bum squatter bears are out of control (IG). Forest firefighters dump water on to a blaze as a fan watches. (IG) Jealous doggos (IG). Cool looking magic trick, but the technique, as usual is dumb. (IG). This is why they say "never tell your magic secrets." It's because the secret is usually dumb. FDC Willard, the world's greatest scientist who is also cat. (IG) BTW, I know some of you don't like Instagram (IG) posts. I'm linking them, though, because it's hard to find good photos on Twitter now. Most searches for "photography" turn up videos and pictures of Japanese "models" and likely prostitutes. (Who are not hot -- so don't bother looking.) So I go to Instagram to find photos, and wind up finding videos I don't want to waste, so I post them. It's hard to find photos on IG now, too, unfortunately. Sure he's only benching an empty bar but you gotta admire the focus. In Sweden, it's Moose Migration Season. Remember to set your clocks back, Mooses. Four-year-old plays Beethoven. Rescued lioness touches grass for first time. Emotional support photo. The family that bikes each other likes each other. Double-O Seven Month Old. The CIA's former head of disguise -- who is coincidentally married to the CIA agent who ran the "Argo" op -- always claims that the CIA have these "five-second disguises" you can just put on and fool people so long as they're not closely inspecting you. She claims these masks can fool a person even if he's "within three or four feet of you." I kinda thought she was exaggerating, but I guess not. Some guy posted his own latex disguise on X, and dang, it's pretty convincing. Second look at Mission: Impossible? A tree so huge that people had to build supports for its massive limbs. More, more!

Kyodo News
The Japanese government approved a bill to allow municipalities to authorize "emergency shootings" by hunters when dangerous animals enter populated areas amid rising cases of bear attacks. Japan reported a record high 219 casualties, including six deaths, from bear attacks in fiscal 2023 through March 2024.
The bill will designate dangerous animals by ordinance, with brown bears, black bears and wild boars likely to be on the list.
The bill will also set certain conditions for emergency shootings, such as when the quick capturing of an animal is difficult without the use of a firearm and there is no risk of bullets hitting people.
Local governments will provide compensation if a building is damaged by bullets.

I read a scientific paper years ago discussing that very thing. Essentially the first seven to ten years endear the child to the parents so that they'll endure the next seven to ten years until the child is out of the home. Without the heartwarming, wholesome goodness of the infant the teenage and young adult years would be much more likely to cause disruption / failure.

I just stumbled on this last night. In 1948, Werner Von Braun, after he was here in the US, wrote a sci-fi novel on going to Mars and colonizing it. The title in German was "Marsprojekt". Excerpts had been published, but the whole thing wasn't published until some time in the 2000s.
Now, que X-files music. He described a government of Mars, set up by the colonists. The chief executive/prime minister had the title of "The Elon" of Mars.

If it doesn't mean it then remove the law. Until you remove the law then it means face coverings.

Powell understands the national debt is unsustainable. He's repeating exactly what I've said, we're headed toward financial collapse.
But instead of using that to push for reform, he used it to score political points against DOGE. He dismissed discretionary spending cuts as insufficient, then pivoted to the same tired "cut entitlements" line, knowing full well that kind of proposal won't pass and isn't politically viable.
This was a moment to sound the alarm, to call for sweeping structural reforms and deep budget cuts across the board. Maybe even invoke a Convention of States if Democrats won't get on board. Instead, he used that moment to crap all over DOGE.
He refuses to target the real drivers: bloated bureaucracy, fraud, unaccountable NGOs, because that would mean giving political ammunition to Trump. He puts ideology ahead of the country's survival. He'd rather let the system collapse than risk legitimizing the same people willing to challenge it.

Yeah, It's a GWP headline and makes no sense...
He is/was an illegal alien, affiliated with a designated terrorist group MS-13, in prison in another country... "Block" him from getting a visa to return? Visas are not automatic and issued by default, you have to qualify for one. Being in prison because you are a terrorist kind of does not qualify one for a visa, if not for that he was ordered deported by previous administrtion.
Something wrong with judges, I think at best it is called 'arbitrary and capricious'.

Margarita Simonyan@M_Simonyan
Nikita Casap, the teen who murdered his parents in Wisconsin in February and plotted to assassinate Trump, wasn’t acting alone.
FBI records show he was in contact with Ukrainians, discussing how to carry out the attack and frame it as a Russian operation. He also asked how soon he could flee to Ukraine afterward — and whether he'd be able to have a normal life there.
This should have been headline news. No mainstream media outlet has touched these public records.

Does the Monster have a somewhat onerous maintenance schedule, or did they get it under control for that bike? I knew a guy that had a ridiculously fast early 2000s or so sport bike and it was almost laughable how short the intervals for things like valve adjustments were.

The valve adjustments suck, true. Mine is an air cooled 800 and I'm probably done with the valves ( something like every 8K). I put about a grand a year on it so it'll be another 5 years. Belts are easy pretty much anyone can do those. The other maintenance is like every other bike.
Mine has an Arrow exhaust and you just get addicted to the downshift exhaust note. It's so sweet. The power on and power down sound is just the best. They're not the fastest but the torqur is right in the mid. It hates it below 3000 RPM. And it loves wheelies....

Quick Hits
Oh, no! Greedy corporations are going to make a "shoplifting desert" in Chicago!
It's not just Biden family artwork that's struggling to sell these days. Former President Joe Biden's attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned -- as some of his own former aides say it's time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about "colored kids" Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office. A source familiar with Biden's faltering speaking career said that the 46th president's standard pitch is $300,000 -- 25% below Barack Obama's $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017. It's unclear how negotiable Biden's rate is. If travel is required, a private jet and expenses for five staffers also is expected for Biden, who has been repped since leaving office by the Creative Artists Agency. "CAA is having trouble booking gigs, which isn't surprising," the tipster said. A second source said they had heard of people close to Biden floating an even higher desired speaking fee, despite the ex-commander in chief having a history of peddling glaring inaccuracies before his political career came to a crashing end when he delivered incoherent debate remarks that prompted a Democratic mutiny. Biden's use of "colored" to refer to black people while speaking at a disability conference in Chicago earlier this week has some former aides hoping he will spend more time at his Rehoboth Beach house. "This was hard to watch," said one former White House official. "It felt like seeing someone you care about start to regress. We just wanted him to enjoy retirement like other presidents -- not go out like this."Boy, remember the old days, Joe? When you could just tell a country to fire a prosecutor investigating your son's influence-seeking business and they'd comply? Trump commented on the Biden Presidency: "Worst administration in our country's history. Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why? Because he wasn't the worst president, Joe Biden was." Rubio announces that he's shutting down the State Department's censorship program. If this sounds familiar, that's because he already shut it down, but the Deep State kept it going under a different name. (Stop me if you heard this one before.) Now he's shutting it down under its new assumed name.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the closure of a State Department effort that he accused of spending millions on censorship. "I am announcing the closure of the State Department's Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI), formerly known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC)," Rubio said in a statement issued on Wednesday. "Under the previous administration, this office, which cost taxpayers more than $50 million per year, spent millions of dollars to actively silence and censor the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving," Rubio asserted. The GEC closed in December, according to an archived State Department website content that is still viewable online. Rubio asserted in a piece published on The Federalist that the GEC had not actually ended, but was simply re-branded. "When Republicans in Congress sunset GEC's funding at the end of last year, the Biden State Department simply slapped on a new name. The GEC became the Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R-FIMI) office, with the same roster of employees. With this new name, they hoped to survive the transition to the new administration," Rubio wrote. "Today, we are putting that to an end. Whatever name it goes by, GEC is dead. It will not return."The Deep State is so corrupt that even its agencies have criminal aliases. Ed Morrissey reports that a new Politico poll shows that some voters are getting tired of the Democrats' endless "resistance" to democratic choices made by the public. Those voters? California Democrats.
In a dual survey of California voters and political professionals who are driving the state's agenda, the electorate is strikingly more likely to want a detente with the White House. Voters are also more divided on issues like immigration and climate change, where Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic state lawmakers have asserted progressive ambitions that rebuff the president's agenda. A plurality of voters is skeptical of legal immigration, and less than half think the state should be able to set its own strict standards on vehicle emissions, an authority California has used for more than half a century. The results suggest a disconnect between the policymaking class and voters in an overwhelmingly blue state where Trump made broad inroads in 2024 amid widespread frustrations over crime and a prohibitively high cost of living. Registered Democrats, however -- who comprise nearly half the electorate -- are more enthusiastic about progressive policies and more eager to challenge Trump's Washington.The poll shows that even Democrats want moderation, not more extremism and election-denial. Bernie and AOC understood the assignment, and the assignment was Grift 'em Until Their Eyes Spin.
Sen. Bernie Sanders has crisscrossed the country on his nationwide Fighting Oligarchy Tour to rail against billionaires and supposed "oligarchs" like Elon Musk--while traveling like an oligarch himself. Campaign expenditures released Tuesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show Sanders's main campaign committee, Friends of Bernie Sanders, spent $221,723 chartering private jets during the first quarter of 2025, with the first payment coming just days before the launch of his tour in February. "We will not accept a rigged economy where working people struggle while billionaires become richer," Sanders said during the tour's latest event in California on Tuesday. "We have got to create an economy that works for working people, not just Mr. Musk and the billionaire class." But Sanders has had no issue splurging on private jets far beyond the means of working people, even as he has ramped up his attacks on the rich. The revelation is just the latest contrast between his socialist rhetoric and his millionaire lifestyle....Contrast? His socialist rhetoric is how he earned his millionaire lifestyle!

The Vigilant Fox
@VigilantFox NEW: Scott Jennings torpedoes Democrat shill's entire MS-13 gang member defense--with one devastating question. It didn't feel like a CNN panel. It felt like a National Geographic nature documentary--where a predator stalks its prey, just waiting for that one fatal misstep. Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky tried to defend deported MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia. Her argument? That he wasn't a gang member and he was "disappeared" without due process. "There's due process that exists in this country for everybody," she said. "And the fact that this man received no due process--he was effectively disappeared to a foreign country, a country which he came from." Then she slipped: "He got asylum--" @ScottJenningsKY
pounced. "That's not a foreign country. He lives there." "Excuse me! No, he does not live there," Roginsky snapped. "He's a citizen of El Salvador," Jennings replied. "Excuse me! No, he does not live there!" "He's a citizen. Does he have asylum?" Jennings pressed. She backpedaled: "Excuse me! Let me finish. No, sorry. No, it's not that he got asylum. He got a judge to say that he could not be--" Jennings closed in: "Does he have a deportation order?" "Excuse me! He could not be--can you let me finish? He could not be rendered back to El Salvador," she said, "because he was at risk of being harmed in El Salvador." Jennings went for the jugular: "By who? By who?! By who? I'm asking you!" "Who was he at risk of?" Roginsky froze. "Who could he be at risk by? I don't know..." Then came the kill shot: "A rival gang. A RIVAL gang." Jennings turned to the camera and grinned like a lion licking its chops after a fresh kill. Argument over. Her narrative? Obliterated--by her own words.
Mark Penn
@Mark_Penn Runaway Judge Judge Boasberg reminds me of Merrick Garland -- well educated and intelligent and yet partisan to the core. Boasberg did nothing when the rights of officials were being violated under FISA warrants that should not have been issued and gave a slap on the wrist to the FBI attorney who deliberately changed an email from the CIA that said Carter Page was a source they worked with and he deliberately added "NOT" to reverse the meaning and used the fake email to get a secret warrant to issue illegal wiretaps. Now he is threatening criminal prosecutions of Trump officials and says he might even settup a special prosecutor under his own authority so he could become both prosecutor and judge. The Supreme Court said his orders were null and void -- that they never should have been issued and that he had no jurisdiction. And now he says that even "erroneous" court orders must be followed. Really. He has now gone overboard in his attempt to reassert his authority when he had none in the first place. So judges can make erroneous rulings, be completely overturned, and then keep going anyway? In this case, it's Boasberg who needs a restraining order on his now clearly partisan behavior here.
Kurt Schlichter
@KurtSchlichter "I am shocked, shocked I say, by the total lack of due process involving these undocumented immigrants!" "You mean how there was no due process to allow them into the United States in the first place?" "No, not that kind of due process. That kind of due process is bad. You know, the kind that protects Americans?"
Criminally-entitled nepo-baby madwoman Taylor Lorenz appeared on Hannity to argue that when she calls Luigi Magione "handsome," "smart" and "a morally good man," she's not really praising him.
No, she's just reporting on what leftwing women who she agrees with are saying about the Heart-throb Murderer. Here was her quote:Note that she says a "morally good man" is "hard to find," meaning that most men are not morally good. That would be like me saying it's hard to find a leftwing woman who isn't on so many SSRIs her hairline looks like Abe Vigoda and who isn't a madwoman and who isn't a terrorist-loving murder-masturbating monster. I mean, it wouldn't be like that, because what I just said is true. Hannity challenged her on this. She claimed she's just reporting on what all her frenz are saying.
Here's this man who, who's a revolutionary, who's famous, who's handsome, who's young, who's smart -- he's a person that seems like a morally good man, which is hard to find[.]
HANNITY: Like hold on and seems like he's a morally good man. If you want to have legitimate criticism, you could write your an intelligent piece saying here is what's wrong with America's health care system, like for example, I want health care savings accounts, I would like to see more of the use of telemedicine, I believe in health care cooperatives, I know one that works. Josh Umber, Atlas MD, Average Person, 24-hour concierge care, 50 bucks a month, there are better ways to do it. That's a legitimate debate. But that's not how you're saying it. You're saying it in ways that are sympathetic to the people that are taking action -- LORENZ: And describing the belief system -- HANNITY: -- handsome, good looking, this is why people are happy and joyful. LORENZ: I'm describing the belief system of his supporters, Sean.Later:
It is crazy to ask a malignant madwoman like Taylor Lorenz if she condemns Hamas, because you know she supports them. Video at the link. It's... horrific. I'd rather watch Amy Schumer eating pudding. By the way: Lorenz is lying. She stated that she approved of the assassination herself, and that the murder brought her "joy."
HANNITY: I'm not asking you to condemn that system. Do you condemn -- Taylor, do you condemn people that call for assassination? LORENZ: Gosh, you're going to ask if I condemn Hamas, next. This is crazy.
Lorenz didn't preface her comments by saying, "This is how women see him." She said Mangione "seems" like a "morally good" man to her. This is also the second time she has tried to pull this charade. In December, she used the term "joy" to describe how hearing about Thompson's murder made her feel. "Over the past few days, dozens of media outlets have been running non stop headlines smearing me and pushing a deceptively edited clip that claims I felt 'joy' over the UnitedHealth CEO's death. Let's get one thing out of the way up top: that literally never happened," Lorenz wrote on Substack. Again, let's check the tape of the quote in question. "Why would you be in such a celebratory mood about the execution of another human being?" Piers Morgan asked Lorenz on his podcast. "Aren't you supposed to be on the caring, sharing left where, you know, you believe in the sanctity of life?" "I do believe in the sanctity of life and I think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately," she responded.
Despite the endless claims of the left, CNN find that only 3% of Trump voters "regret" their votes, and the 3% of Trump voters saying they regretted their votes were really just Democrat Mobys lying about who they voted for. CNN didn't say that last part but you know it's 100% true. All leftists due is lie to manipulate public opinion, as Communist Party doctrine teaches them.
CNN admits only 3% of Trump voters regret their vote, the same level as Kamala voters

“A surprisingly common frame was that the campaign ‘wasn’t serious,’ with many citing Harris’ celebrity endorsements and event appearances and framing them negatively...Black men expressing their feeling “Dems cared more about immigrants, trans people, and waging war in Ukraine and Gaza than domestic priorities or their daily economic realities.”
Seriously? Fuck those people right alongside Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the rest of the MAGA crowd. Hard and violently with rusted garden tools and Musk's chainsaw.
There is a time and a place for arguing about the message or "being heard" or getting your fucking cupcake and sprinkles. That time was NOT on election day when the ballot choice was not just Trump or Harris...but Project 2025 ans fascism or representative republican governance.

...We will have to do the right thing. We will have to prepare ourselves to die. I hope that we should conduct ourselves with such courage that it will be our finest hour; I expect that we shall do our duty...

I took the opportunity to invite him to Rome, and I am pleased that he accepted. It will be a further opportunity to strengthen the dialogue between our Nations.
Italy is increasingly a protagonist in a rapidly changing international scenario. And today, also thanks to the work done in recent years, our point of view is listened to and respected.

The Democratic governor, sporting blue denim in lieu of slacks at an almond farm south of Sacramento, bemoaned the economic impacts on California’s marquee tech & farming industries & argued the White House has no authority to unilaterally tax imports under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
The state's lawsuit is similar to one filed Monday by a group of small businesses against the administration.
Newsom & Bonta argued that tariffs are the responsibility of Congress & not the president & they allege Trump invented "bogus" national emergencies to claim jurisdiction. They said they're asking the court to "rein in the president."
The governor called the lawsuit "a lock." Bonta said the lawsuit is the 14th one California has filed against the administration since Trump took office.

Notice how Disney "News" started off with "stalking," and tried to hide the "murder" charge. Also note Disney's use of "firearm" instead of gun.
Now, the charges probably do state the word "firearm," but Fake News always uses "gun" in their copy. Because "gun" is a Buzzword, "firearm" is not.

I think it is more about not wanting illegals to be hindered than about privacy. I have a service that removes my information from databrokers (at several--Optery or Privacy Bee, you can scan for free for this but removal costs money).
It is amazing what all the crap they accumulate that make id theft easy for a lot of criminals or stalkers. If you got the bucks, even modern cars now track you, give driving information, etc. along with your cell phones and they sell that data as well.
I used to work with databases way back and for that reason I have put all kinds of ratty data over the years when I could in the blob so I got hits where I know exactly who sold them that crappy info. Fake birthdates, birth years, income levels, addresses, nick names, and so on. The important things like med, credit applications, and employment records I keep straight but other places I always try to leave at least one inaccurate none of your damn business misleading info.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A U.S. man hijacked a small plane in Belize on Thursday, stabbing two passengers and a pilot, before one of the stabbed passengers fatally shot him, officials in Belize and the United States said. The plane then landed safely.
The Tropic Air plane was carrying 14 passengers and two crew members, and was flying from Corozal, a small town near Belize’s border with Mexico, heading to the popular tourist destination of San Pedro when it was hijacked.

Multiple people fired weapons in shooting at an Arkansas park that killed 2, police say
by: Associated Press Posted: Apr 15, 2025 / 02:26 PM PDT
CONWAY, Ark. (AP) — Multiple people fired weapons during a weekend shooting at a city park in Arkansas that killed two and injured nine others, authorities said Tuesday.
Police Chief Chris Harris said that shots had been fired from at least six different weapons during the shooting and investigators estimate that at least 100 rounds were fired. Harris did not identify the suspects police are looking for, or say how many suspects there are.
Harris said one of the nine injured remained in intensive care as of Tuesday and the other eight had non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting occurred during an event at the park that hadn’t been permitted by the city, officials said.

If Italy can get a good deal, then German and France will follow, and then the whole gang will pour in.

I know I hardly stop in here anymore, but I'm asking for your prayers because I've gone and done something stupid.
Again.
I filed my taxes Monday night. As I've had to do for years, I requested a monthly installment plan. Filled out all the forms as I usually do.
This afternoon, I get an alert that I'm overdrawn.
The IRS took the entire amount owed. I've received no word on whether my installment request was rejected, but it sure looks like it was.
I'm now almost 500 dollars in the red, and have no way at all to pay upcoming bills through the end of the month. Thankfully, I topped off the gas tank on payday, and I'll be good for a week or so there. Groceries are pretty low.
I'm asking for nothing but your prayers. I'm not sure I deserve anything else.

On the surface it looks to be something to be pissed off about. But, there are some loose ends that make the whole incident rather suspect. First off, the girl seems to have a substance abuse problem. At least, that's what was implied in her assigned punishment. Secondly, she whipped out the pocket knife when the guy groped her, and he initially backed away. She followed him. Plus, it's Germany, and their definition of self defense doesn't include defending oneself. Self-defense in Germany means submission.
Overall. One less groping sexual deviant immigrant with a record in Germany. The girl got two years probationary supervision (which could have been a lot worse). And, part of her "rehabilitation" seems to be substance abuse treatment.

Race-Murderer Karmello Anthony Is Given $500,000 In Donations for Killing an Innocent White Kid
He's now renting a luxurious $900,000 home in a gated community.
Oh, so now he knows the meaning of people having their own reserved space.The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a high school football star at a track meet allegedly lives in a $900,000 home with his family inside a luxurious gated community -- despite requesting that a judge lower his $1 million bond because of financial difficulties, according to a report. Karmelo Anthony, 17, is holed up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported. The home -- where rent is estimated to be $3,500 a month -- had a white Suburban, a black Acura, and a third sedan in the driveway on Tuesday, according to the outlet.Don't say that to him or he'll stab you in the heart with a Mostly Peaceful Knife.
A neighbor said the family had just bought a new ride. "He got a new car," the resident told the outlet. "If you look at the license plate, it's got a paper tag and it says it expires June 4." Richwoods is about a mile from Centennial High School, where Anthony went to school and ran track. Residents in the gated community were allegedly unaware the family was living at the home until Anthony was released Monday, and have voiced concerns about having the accused killer in their exclusive neighborhood. "Not good. Not good. I don't think he should be out," an anonymous mother in the neighborhood told the Daily Mail.
... The home has also been getting flooded with deliveries, allegedly for Anthony, with Amazon trucks being seen making multiple drop-offs at his home, the outlet reported. "The best thing they can do is move," said another neighbor. "I think that would be best for everyone." ... Initially, he was being held on a $1 million bond until a Collin County judge slashed it to $250K and ruled that he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor under 24-hour supervision from his parents or an "adult designee." The lowered bond came one week after Anthony's attorney said they would ask the court to reduce the "excessive" $1 million bond and asked the local district attorney to make "a better determination" of the charges. "Given that Karmelo has no prior criminal history and given that this young man has not been in any sort of trouble before, $1 million is not necessary," Howard said.Except that he's an admitted murderer. He admitted he killed the victim. And of course witnesses saw it. He is a major flight risk, has a stack of cash thanks to his fellow Helter Skelter revolutionaries, and you only reduced this psycho killer's bail because he's black. Two tiers of justice. It's not just for the UK.

Metcalf’s father took the high road and sought forgiveness early on. They spit in his face with how they’ve acted the last few weeks.
And now they attack him for showing up. https://t.co/SLc9jK8eFr
Hold up -- this spokesman for track meet murderer Karmelo Anthony was indicted in 2019 for assaulting his girlfriend, and convicted in 2009 for shaking another girlfriend's 2-year-old kid. https://t.co/km7YWAQoDi https://t.co/eNRlSNOUBj

Also the Daily Mirror puts out the line "Karmellow who allegedly killed Metcalf." WRONG Armstrong definitely killed Whitey Metcalf. the question is it 1st or 2nd degree murder and I have to say 1st degree as he came with the illegal knife (blade length) illegally to a school track meet.

1. Metcalf's father had done nothing wrong and therefore needed no forgiveness, dumbass.
2. It's fine for Metcalf's father to forgive, although it's been noted that Anthony is unrepentant and has not asked for forgiveness, and show that he holds no hate in his heart but Anthony is, demonstrably, a danger to the community and, therefore, agitating for him to remain free would be wrong. Christian or not.

I don't think this is a BLM worthy crime. The guy needed to have been a drug addict attacked and supposedly unjustly killed by a policeman. I don't even think most Blacks -except those who stand to profit from this case -a la Al Sharpton-think that a black kid who stabbed a white kid for no good reason deserves to be made into a hero.

We were watching Wheel of Fortune and a white guy with a harsh accent said a phrase using his accent in the way he speaks because that's how he speaks.
The judges didn't allow the answer because he mispronounced it. Except he didn't. It was said correctly in a regional dialect / pronunciation.
I would bet $1000 that wouldn't happen with someone of the urban persuasion using "axe" or "jury" (jewelry) or "libary"

Isn't there also a component of self defense that it is a last resort? Are you able to leave? Why yes, he was. They asked him too and he refused. And then proceeded to escalate the confrontation. It's not self defense if you escalate the conflict by daring them to make you leave. And honestly, there is a story floating around he had a prior beef with the guy he stabbed; so sitting in that tent with a knife and getting into a shoving match after your asked to leave sounds a bit..premeditated.

Isn't there also a component of self defense that it is a last resort? Are you able to leave? Why yes, he was. They asked him too and he refused. And then proceeded to escalate the confrontation. It's not self defense if you escalate the conflict by daring them to make you leave. And honestly, there is a story floating around he had a prior beef with the guy he stabbed; so sitting in that tent with a knife and getting into a shoving match after your asked to leave sounds a bit..premeditated.

Not his style. Crump focuses on civil lawsuits for big money not criminal defense for peanuts. I think overall the big money raised and his reaction makes it more likely for him to be convicted because if you lose the public court of opinion, you are well on the way to losing the case. Especially as there is no question Anthony did it.
OJ, on the other hand, could not be proved to be at the location despite the efforts of the prosecution so they had to use circumstantial evidence.
Anthony's initial self defense claims can actually hurt him if he tries to switch gears and then claim dindu or it was an accident. If accident, manslaughter, if not, then murder (but not capital murder because under 1
.
To win at self defense claim, he now has the burden of proof in the case to show he acted in in what the jury considers an objectively reasonable act using the totality of the circumstances.
My guess is that Anthony is going to take a plea when all is said and done. Probably manslaughter.

The context matters also. At a public event, if you're asked to leave, there's no "stand your ground" type bullshit defense for that. Like saying you get to stab a bouncer for asking you to go.
Of course Karmello could have EASILY walked away when asked to leave a school's tent at a track meet that he wasn't involved with, but what would that have done to his rep to be disrespected like that?

AFAIK, Texas is not a duty to retreat state and in fact allows someone to stand their ground if they have a right to be there. The catch is that you have to be acting lawful in standing your ground.
The jury can take into account the guy left and then came back with the murder weapon and a threat which escalated the initial confrontation.
Even with no duty to retreat, the jury can still consider whether or not Anthony was the initiator of the fatal fight when he had already left and then came back. It is always wise to leave and stay away rather than go back and confront your opponent. Tends to undermine I was in fear of my life or serious injury if you return.

For all the people suggesting Metcalf's father shouldn't have sought forgiveness, if you're a Christian, that's not an option. Choose another angle.
Wrong. Forgiveness is given - and commanded to be given - when forgiveness is asked. And contrition shown. The Lord forgives all sins but only if the sinner repents. Otherwise there's really no point in leading a good life because...heck...we all get forgiven anyway.

That makes a difference--if that is true, then Anthony can no longer claim stand your ground status and has a duty to retreat. Basically, it is a variant of when one comes to court, you must have clean hands. Thus, illegal actions preceding the fatal confrontation eliminate one possible defense for Anthony and tend to make a jury think the leaving and coming back with an illegal weapon was seeking mutual combat by premeditation at the very least.
If what you say is true, likely to be a plea, perhaps manslaughter in the case. Deceased family also has a right to civil action in the case of wrongful death likely to strip all that Go Fund Me ill gotten gains from the family of the murderer. They better spend it quick.

I agree. Public apologies in particular by the victim's family are distasteful social signalling instead of virtuous.

There was an infamous case right after Stand Your Ground law was clarified in Texas. Guy had previous beef with neighbors playing loud music and went up to them armed when they were doing it again. He was videoing the encounter and yelled at them to lower the music, they took offense and came after him. He shot one of the loud music folks dead and claimed stand your ground because he was on the public street when he did so.
Court rejected his SYG defense and self defense claims because he was the initiator of the immediate conflict and prodded the others to react. Removes SYG and self defense protections if the court and jury believe that to be the case. Initiators of fatal actions better have a damn good airproof reason and getting an ass beating by unarmed man after you provoke them may or may not cut it.

Best to have jury instructions if Texas is a pattern state. That is what the jury will hear.
You can find the link at https://tinyurl.com/mvejs2pn
"e. Provoking the Difficulty
The lawful use of self-defense is not available if the defendant provoked the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful force. A provocation instruction tells the jury that if it finds that the accused provoked the problem in order to have a pretext to kill or injure, then the right of self-defense is forfeited. A “provoking the difficulty” instruction is proper if 1) self-defense is in issue, 2) facts in evidence show that the victim made the first attack on the accused, and 3) the accused did some act or used some words intended to and calculated to bring on the difficulty so as to have a pretext for inflicting injury on the victim.

Reportedly - so who the fuck knows - a very large segment of the US black population believe that they are the majority in the country and, given the extent to which they're over-represented in all media or athletics, would not be a wildly insane assumption.

Somewhere around the whole BLM silliness there was a poll done and 70%+ of black people think that there is a strong likelihood that they will be murdered by a white supremacist in their everyday lives.

For all the people suggesting Metcalf's father shouldn't have sought forgiveness, if you're a Christian, that's not an option. Choose another angle.
Wrong. Forgiveness is given - and commanded to be given - when forgiveness is asked. And contrition shown. The Lord forgives all sins but only if the sinner repents. Otherwise there's really no point in leading a good life because...heck...we all get forgiven anyway.
Just my seriously humble opinion. Offered as only a sinner, which I am, would.
Posted by: Chairborne!.
Maybe I'm missing some context but you forgive those who wronged you regardless of if its returned. Forgiveness doesn't mean that this murderer should walk. He should be punished to the full extent of the law. The Bible is full of passages that command we (Christians) forgive those who wrong us. No, it's not easy.

Bullshit. That is a No True Scotsman fallacy if I ever heard one. Christianity has a panoply of opinions and just because your particular sect holds that opinion, does not mean others do or even individuals.
You can pray for their souls (which is the more important task) but most sects require some sign of contrition for what sin you did to get forgiveness.

You pray for their souls but not to get off punishment. Not a call on that.
Furthermore, the spectacle of doing so at a press release smacks of virtue signalling rather than doing so in a low key manner. You can forgive someone for a sin just fine in your prayers at home rather than hold a press conference over it.

That is usually pulled out in sentencing when the perp is convicted of a death penalty offense. Goes to mitigation of sentence saving them from death possibly if the jury buys it but it not a defense to prevent conviction (at least so far--Dem justices would probably do just that if they had a majority on Scotus).

Protected the hell out of that one drug cartel and continuously stymied the efforts of CBP and rival Cartels (like Juárez and Jalico). It was damned clear that there was a business relationship going on.
Given the CIA, Deep State and the Democrat Party all working to overthrow Western Civilization, and the retards that make up antifa completely incapable of doing more than tagging monuments and burning car dealerships, they rely on the cartels and the Venezuelan street gangs to act as collectors/enforcers and garden variety assholes to run the drugs, sex slaves and other trafficking for Our Betters in Babylon DC.

In 2009, You was arrested for causing serious bodily injury to a 2-year-old child, the son of his then girlfriend, while babysitting. The child suffered a subdural hemorrhage and retinal hemorrhages in both eyes — consistent with abusive head trauma, not the “fall off the couch” that Alexander claimed. Despite the severity of the crime, Alexander faced minimal consequences. He was charged with a first-degree felony but managed to avoid serious punishment through plea deals and probation.
n 2017, Alexander was indicted on felony theft charges related to a 2016 business dispute in Denton County. The charges were enhanced because of a previous conviction for forgery.”
In 2019, he was indicted on a felony family violence charge after his longtime partner, Keyaira Saunders, accused him of shoving and attempting to strangle her.

If a Christian has Given Their Life To Jesus, then You don't own Yourself and the transgression is against God. You doing the forgiveness ritual seems to acting independently from God and handing out blanket forgivness when the sin is defined and ultimately enforced by God.

Yes, the Slayers Rule. In Texas, the Slayer Rule is primarily applied to inheritance and life insurance proceeds. If someone is convicted of murdering another person, they are typically barred from inheriting any property or receiving any life insurance payouts from the deceased person.

"Journalist" Gayle King Thinks She's an Astronaut Now, Attacks Sexism for Denying Her Credit
Some of you are probably tired of this story. I'm not. I'm just getting warmed up.
This energizes me. But I do know this is now three days old so I'll only have this post up for 40 minutes before I post another one. "Journalist" Gayle King is now also an "astronaut," the talentless, corrupt hanger-on now claims.CBS host Gayle King responded to the backlash over the Blue Origin space flight on Tuesday and suggested the all-female crew was being held to a different standard than men who've been to space. The journalist and talk show host was part of a historic flight on Monday that also carried Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos' fiancée, Lauren Sánchez; pop star Katy Perry; film producer Kerianne Flynn; NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe; and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen.Nothing says Scientific Flight like "civil rights activist" or "film producer" or "pop star" or "Jeff Bezos' Current Slam-Piece."
Leftwing critics are bemoaning the use of resources and filling the air with carbon dioxide (the Invisible Killer, longtime readers will remember). Other people are just laughing at them for spending three minutes in "space" after two days (!!!) of "training." And oh, the "training" was about how to enter and exit the capsule and how to secure your seatbelts. That's needed "training" but... I don't think that if I'm on a plane and they give me a demonstration of how to put on an oxygen mask I'm a pilot. They were space tourists, period. The "training" is legally required. Yes, they did show some amount of bravery -- barely -- by chancing the trip, but people take greater risks waiting for NYC subways every single day. The criticism is not about what they did -- which was fine -- but over the inordinate amount of praise they're pouring on themselves and demanding others repeat. Everyone knows that if you do something praiseworthy, you're supposed to say thank you, but deflect the compliment and say "It was no big deal, it was really all thanks to my fellow team-members and also, most of all, thanks to God." You're not supposed to say "I'm awesome for being a passenger for 10 minutes! I'm a Space Astronaut and I touched the Divine Feminine," which is what these loopy broads all did.
The rocket landed safely after roughly a 10-minute flight. The high-profile trip drew some criticism from those who questioned if the brief flight was a worthwhile use of resources.
Shepard was trained to take control of his capsule if necessary. Were you? Did your two days of training include five years of pilot training?
King responded to the backlash in comments to Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, where she compared the Blue Origin flight to the historic space flight taken by American astronaut Alan Shepard in 1961. "Please don't call it a 'ride,'" she added, claiming people don't use this term when talking about men going into space. "We duplicated the same trajectory that Alan Shepard did back in the day, pretty much. No one called that a 'ride,'" King said. "It was called a flight, it was called a journey."
People take cruises and do not usually call themselves mariners. What you did was a pastime, not "science." I don't begrudge you a pastime but we also don't hand out Medals of Honor to people who kill 100 Germans via head-shot in Call of Duty.
"There was nothing frivolous about what we did," she added.
Inspiring girls to do what? Make friends with Oprah and turn that into a career so you can take one of three diversity slots in a billionaire's space tourism capsule?
"I'm very disappointed and very saddened by it," the CBS host continued. "And I also say this, what it's doing to inspire other women and young girls, please don't ignore that."
I've flown in a plane a few times. I'm a pilot! I'm just like Chuck Yaeger!!! She's basically claiming that going on Space Mountain makes you a part of Star Fleet. Bonus: This may shock you, but "journalist" and "astronaut" Gayle King was spreading disinformation when she claimed men are never said to have merely "taken a ride."
She also addressed liberal critics who complained about the environmental impact, saying that Bezos' mission with Blue Origin was to discover if the rocket would be able to take waste from Earth into space to "make our planet cleaner." "Space is not an either/or. It's a both/and. And because you do something in space doesn't mean you're taking anything away from Earth," King argued. ... King previously told critics at a press conference on Monday that anyone bashing the flight "doesn't really understand" the historical significance of the space flight. "We can all speak to the response we're getting from young women, from young girls about what this represents," she added.
From the Wikipedia entry on Hamish Harding, the British billionaire who died when the OceanGate Titan imploded:Noted Feminist Megy Kelly does not feel inspired or empowered by these astronauts' immense accomplishments.Harding flew to space as part of the suborbital Blue Origin NS-21 mission, on 4 June 2022, on the fifth crewed spaceflight of the New Shepard rocket. After travelling to space, he advocated for space tourists (paid recreational spaceflight passengers) to be called astronauts.Why is this relevant? Because Harding, like King, chafed at being described as what he was: a tourist. Not just a man, but a billionaire white man! *He* was a tourist, too, Gayle, and he wasn't happy about his trip being called what it was: tourism. But it *was* called that, and so was he. So stuff it. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!)
As Megyn lamented on Monday's show, the narrative surrounding this trip was one of "female empowerment," but she did not see much to celebrate. "I don't feel empowered. If there had been six female astronauts going up, then, yes, okay," she said. "But what did these women do? The one gal is engaged to a billionaire, and these are a bunch of celebrities she wanted to befriend." ... Amy Schumer also took to Instagram to poke fun at the mission in a bit Ungar Sargon called the funniest the comedian has been in years. "So I'm going to space, and I'm so excited," she said in a video. "Lauren Sánchez, Katy Perry and Amanda Nguyen have been my guiding lights through this whole journey, which I just got called to be part of this space team this morning. And I'm loving it. I've always wanted to go to space, and also I just have to say, How high were the people who came up with the name for space? Were they like, 'What should we call it? It's got so much, like, space.'"Jeff Bezos' Current Slam-Piece, who is such a super-astronaut she had two industrial-strength flotation devices bolted on to her rib-cage, demands you respecc her.
What do they have to do with you? No one's attacking the people who really achieved something by putting your useless ass into "space" (for three minutes). This is the typical liberal politician move -- "How dare you attack the children!" We're not attacking the children, we're goofing on you.
The Blue Origin crew has not taken kindly to the blowback, with Sánchez and King, in particular, trying to defend the excursion. The former said she gets "really fired up" when she hears the criticism. "I would love to have them come to Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don't just work here but they put their heart and soul into this vehicle," Sánchez said. "So when we hear comments like that, I just say, 'Trust me. Come with me. I'll show you what this is about, and it's, it's really eye-opening.'"
King, meanwhile, suggested misogyny could be at play as she likened her experience to -- wait for it -- that of astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American to travel to space. KING: Please don't call it a 'ride' that is not a friggin ride. Whenever a man goes up, you have never said to an astronaut, 'Boy, what a ride.' You know, we duplicated the same trajectory that Alan Shepard did back in the day. Pretty much. No one called that a ride. It was called a 'flight.' It was called a 'journey' because a 'ride' implies it is something frivolous or something that's light hearted. There was nothing frivolous about what we did, and the machine that we were on, and what it took for the people to get that machine up and running, to get us up, and get us back down safely. So, you know, I'm very disappointed and very saddened by it. She also claimed the trip was an inspiration to many. "What it's doing to inspire other women and young girls, please don't ignore that," King continued. "I've had so many women and young girls reach out to me -- and men too, by the way, men too -- that say, 'Wow, I never thought I could do that, but I see you doing it at this stage in my life. Who would have thunk it? Not me' and how inspired they are." The Disconnect Megyn said the attempted defense reveals just how out-of-touch the women are. "I'm still stuck in the fact that Gayle King actually used the word 'astronauts'... You are there on a vanity project of Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, you've done absolutely nothing to deserve this," she noted. "You're sitting next to Katy Perry, and if you don't want people to think it's frivolous, Gayle, then don't have the f-cking Kardashians and Oprah [Winfrey] craftside as you take off... That might have something to do with our reaction to this as a non-serious event and a PR stunt."I don't mind that tourism isn't "serious" and I don't mind that this is a "PR stunt." It is that -- it's an ad for future Blue Origins space tourism jaunts, and that's fine. Show off your wares to the world. It's the credit-grabbing and "Stolen Valor" of it all. I think either Megyn Kelly or Greg Gutfeld said that. None of this would have happened if you just did what every well-mannered person knows to do, which is to refuse any praise of yourself and deflect it on to "the Real Heroes." But leftwing feminist women are all about seizing credit for other people's (mostly men's) work. Their whole "careers," all of their "achievements" are based on making extravagant claims about yourself and then daring any Sexist Misogynists from contradicting you. Well, dare taken. You did nothing more than a eight-year-old kid does when he rides his first "adult," "42 inches or taller" rollercoaster. I can't fault that kid for feeling excited about his big ride, but I'm also not going to praise him or nominate him for a Nobel Prize. By the way, Gayle King also claims that someone aboard the capsule did "science" experiments or something. On an 10 minute ride. With only three of those minutes in what people are calling "the very lowest level of what can charitably called 'space.'" Can't wait to see the data that this experiment generated. Also, once again, this has nothing to do with Gayle King. But like all "reporters," she believes that just by talking to a scientist she becomes, for all legal purposes, a scientist herself. What exactly is the "first" they're claiming? Matt Walsh ran down possible claims. Are they the first female "astronauts"? No, of course not, other women have been trained as actual astronauts and have flown in space. The first female space tourists? No, other women have flown on Blue Origin before. The first all-female crew in space? Or, "space"? No, Walsh pointed out that a female cosmonaut was shot into space by the Russkies. She flew solo, making it an "all-female crew." I also think the Space Dog Laika was a female dog, so. Laika probably was more qualified to seize the controls, too.

Lauren Sanchez, the body-positive icon and internationally beloved fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, thrust her way into the history books on Monday as part of the first all-female crew to travel to space.* Women around the world exuded feminist joy while watching Sanchez and her fellow crew members, including the notoriously buxom musical legend Katy Perry, bust through the atmosphere aboard a phallus-shaped rocket operated by Blue Origin, the Bezos-owned space firm. Gayle King, the CBS News journalist and Democratic donor, was also along for the ride. "Space is going to finally be glam," Perry told Elle magazine before the launch. "We are going to put the 'ass' in astronaut."In fairness, she was quoting Buzz Aldrin.
Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Khloe Kardashian were on hand to witness the historic* occasion, adding gravitas. The flight lasted 11 minutes, including 3 minutes in which the crew experienced zero gravity. The women could be heard shrieking and giggling throughout via an audio feed. Minutes after touching down near the launch site in West Texas, Sanchez embraced Bezos in a romantic bear hug. Moments earlier, the billionaire humiliated himself by falling on his face. Fortunately, his lover did not appear to have suffered any of the complications some cosmetic surgeons warned could result from traveling to space with breast implants and lip filler. ... King, the lowly journalist, said the experience made her think about politics. Traveling to space for several minutes was "such a reminder that we need to do better" and "be better human beings," she said. "It's so nasty and so vitriolic nowadays. And, I mean, if everybody could experience that peace that we had up there, and the kindness, and what it takes to do what we did, [the world would be a better place]." The journalist was also very impressed with her own bravery. "I'm so proud of me right now!" King squealed. The CBS News anchor described Harris as "uniquely qualified to be president," and said the Democrat's rise to power gave her "goosebumps." She also donated $10,000 to Harris's campaign for California attorney general in 2010. Some of her colleagues at CBS are reportedly annoyed with her frequent hobnobbing with Democratic politicians and celebrities. In 2017, for example, King joined Barack and Michelle Obama on a luxury yacht excursion with Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, and her best friend Oprah. CBS journalists were "pissed and raving mad" about the excursion, according to the New York Post.

Actually, no. This is not it at all.
They *want* to be held to a different standard, but it isn't happening.
Nobody calls space tourists "astronauts." The first dude who ever paid for a trip on the Soyuz wasn't "astronaut." When William Shatner went up last year (IIRC), he wasn't an "astronaut."
The "crew" designation is a liability dodge and everyone knows it. These people got a ride to space. That's super cool, and I'm happy for them (and a bit envious, of course). But they're no more "astronauts" than I would be. Riding on an airplane doesn't make me an "aviator."
*They* wanted a different standard, and didn't get it - and so bitch about being held to a different standard.

Had they continued, tourist flights around the moon in orbit would likely be a middle class vacation. Something like that.
Instead, Starliner is grounded - 8 years overdue and over budget, and has defective thrusters, an issue solved in 1965. They can’t even “Recreate ‘68” - a flight in orbit around the moon.

I'd love to hear a real astronaut who commanded Space Shuttle missions tell King she should have simply enjoyed the free ride then STFU. Problem is, none will because of the Race Card that King and Sharpton, et. al., are ready to play and the Media is ready to use.

Harding flew to space as part of the suborbital Blue Origin NS-21 mission, on 4 June 2022, on the fifth crewed spaceflight of the New Shepard rocket. After travelling to space, he advocated for space tourists (paid recreational spaceflight passengers) to be called astronauts. He also advocated for the United Arab Emirates to expand its space programme
Why is this relevant? Because Harding, like King, chafed at being described as what he was: a tourist.
Not just a man, but a billionaire white man! *He* was a tourist, too, Gayle, and he wasn't happy about his trip being called what it was: tourism. But it *was* called that, and so was he.
So stuff it.

I was looking into that. Is there any reason they had to do that. One answer is, well, they wanted a wide capsule with lots of room for the tourists inside, and the safe, vertical free-fall reentry might have needed a wide base. But the booster didn't need to be that wide.
But, they could've put some fairing or something to reduce the look. So, I think Bezos really did do it on purpose.

No, that isn’t true. Numerous un-manned flights were launched to test the booster and capsule (module). And a few chimps for further testing.
The big controversy at the time was whether humans should be part of space exploration at all, and if so, whether they would have anything to do. The complexity of launch and other maneuvers were such that nobody would be fast enough to complete all the tasks.
The joke was there would be two buttons on board. “Go to Moon” and “Return to Earth”.
Gordon Cooper’s flight showed what happens when the computers crash and good ole yankee ingenuity kicks in. Short circuits, thrusters inop, computer horked …. “things are kinda beginnin’ to stack up in here” he said. He manually setup the capsule for re-entry keeping it in the narrow band where he wouldn’t skip off into space, nor burn up in the atmosphere due to a too steep angle of “bite”. The Right Stuff

DHS Secretary Noem Announces the Freezing of $2.7 Million in Grants to Harvard
I know I've reported that this was in the offing, but this makes it official.
These new cuts are in addition to the $2.2 billion (with a b) that Trump already froze.DHS Sec. Kristi Noem announces $2.7 million of Harvard's grants are canceled Quick Hit: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has canceled more than $2.7 million in federal grants to Harvard University, citing the school's alleged tolerance of pro-Hamas extremism and anti-American ideology on campus. Key Details: Noem rescinded two DHS grants totaling over $2.7 million. Harvard is accused of enabling antisemitic and extremist behavior. The Trump administration has frozen $2.2 billion in multiyear federal grants and is scrutinizing the school's nonprofit tax status. Diving Deeper: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday the cancelation of two Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grants to Harvard University, citing national security concerns and the university's failure to confront what she called "anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology" on its campus. The decision revokes a combined $2.7 million in federal funds. One of the grants, valued at $800,303, reportedly supported a study that characterized conservatives as "far-right dissidents." The second, totaling $1,934,902, was described by DHS as financing "public health propaganda." The department's press release stated that both projects "undermine America's values and security." "Noem's move is a clear signal from the Trump administration: institutions that benefit from taxpayer dollars must uphold American principles, not promote hostility toward them," the DHS said. In a separate letter, Noem also demanded records from Harvard detailing any foreign student visa holders involved in "illegal and violent activities." Her blunt assessment of Harvard's trajectory struck a nerve. "Harvard bending the knee to antisemitism -- driven by its spineless leadership -- fuels a cesspool of extremist riots and threatens our national security," Noem said. "With anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology poisoning its campus and classrooms, Harvard's position as a top institution of higher learning is a distant memory."Did you know that American universities rely on foreign students for their funding? It's true. They love admitting rich foreign students because they pay the full nominal cost of tuition, no scholarships, no breaks for coming from a low-income family. I mention this because Trump is also looking to block any foreign Harvard student from obtaining an educational visa to come get "educated" at Harvard, which will also badly damage Harvard's finances. He wants Harvard to turn over disciplinary records for its foreign agitators so that the government can review their visa status. Harvard is refusing -- and might get their ability to enroll any foreign student terminated.
It gets even better🔥

And yet...it's the basic assumption of accepting any federal dollars anyway: that continued flow of money is about keeping those in power happy.
Acting like it's not the actual system in place is just opening things up for one side to take over completely.
Make the other side feel pain within the system, and maybe they'll agitate for good change. Or worse. In the end, the current system is not worth saving.

Ace, I doubt it's "foreign agitators" Harvard is worried about. Even the most feral advocacy of Jew-hating goat-rapers won't get you in any trouble. So there will be no disciplinary records for that. There weren't any for that Khalil cockroach, were there?
I think more likely what Harvard is trying to cover up is the disproportionately high number of offenses its foreign scumbags commit against women. These foreign scumbags aren't any different from all the other foreign scumbags who rape and abuse women and girls at alarming rates.

Sounds like bullshit. Not the stated purpose of the contracts - that sounds like normal government malfeasance - but the actual reality. I strongly suspect there are *no* real deliverables for these contracts. Probably just some profs at Harvard shitting out an unreferenced, unrigorous report and some low-rent ads that don't see the light of day.
Straight-up cash giveaways, in other words. Maybe these contracts were actually for meaningful wrongdoing, but my bet would be on "cash grab as such" more than anything else.

The private colleges don't have to give anyone a single break. They have endowments for that, but they don't *have* to unless it's tied to a donation with that specific purpose.
They love foreign students because it's never a question, and they love foreigners, and they love spies. Foreign students tick all the boxes. A lot of them are spies, none of them are Americans, and a foreign state is likely footing the bill and so will pay.
The *real* nastiness on this front is with the public colleges. State universities adore out-of-state students (which includes foreigners) because they pay full freight.

This is not Podunk U, this is *Harvard.* Harvard does not, will not and has never needed the money. Harvard can live off its endowment for generations, even if it stopped charging tuition. It is a self-regenerating capital engine at this point, because the base value is so staggering.
Harvard is screaming about this not because of the money, but because of what it implies about Harvard's status and broader conditions. They are in charge, dammit, and *they* are the paragons of American society. That's what this is about in its case. It ain't the money.

So State pays these countries, and they run programs, and coincidentally only the ruling class kids qualify for full payment to go to USA schools.
But they hate us. Instead of us changing them, they changed our schools. And these countries realized that they can give money to the schools for Chairs and power and really fuck up our country. And they did.
You even notice that these foreigners paying full fare are never from friendly countries? It is always Middle East countries or China - the countries that State is funding to "Westernize"

Oh yes, in the general. Even without the clandestine US government funding, the open funding has driven prices up so high that it's hard to justify even if the colleges were *good.* They're not, especially not for men and enrollments have likely already peaked. The cutting off of bullshit grants will just accelerate things.
Not for Harvard. Harvard is fine and will remain fine.
Most universities, however, are not like Harvard. My alma mater can survive 24 months with its endowment (assuming no revenues). That's it. Some significant structural debts (big campus building spree, etc.), catastrophically expensive administration and ancillaries, declining enrollment. There are a lot of colleges in fairly weak financial position and a whole lot of them are going to go the way of Antioch.

Its both. From Axios.
Harvard's operating budget is about 6.4 Billion and endowment earnings were 2.4 billion that were spent on the budget. Federal funds were about 700 million, leaving current gifts, student tuition, etc. to fund the rest. About 50 percent.
Only about 20 percent of their endowment aka about ten billion can be used for discretionary spending--the rest are bequests for specific purposes. Donations dropped 150 billion as well last year over the previous year.
That is why a simultaneous ban on foreign students along with no funding from fedgov will really hurt. Plus, out of that student revenue, a fair chunk comes from federal student aid which if the non profit status comes about and banning of student aid there for discrimination, Harvard will sink faster back to its regional finishing school rep before you know it.

University of California tuition, 2025–26 academic year
California residents -- $14,934
Non-residents and foreign students -- $50,328
The school was founded specifically to cater to California residents only, but they allowed a few foreign applicants in at a much higher tuition.
Now that "exception" has become the rule.
The only thing preventing Cal from being 100% foreign students is a state law REQUIRING them to admit the top 10% of CA high school graduates.

The USAID stuff has put a lot of light on a lot of things.
My big curiosity, for many years now, was around Soros. Soros is rich, but he's not *that* rich. He can't afford everything that Tides and the other associated "foundations" do. Some of his results have been through shrewd decisions (like buying up relatively cheap DAs), but the amount of shit attributed to his organizations is far too large for him to have financed.
It's been clear for some time that either it isn't really his orgs doing those things, or there is a *ton* of non-Soros money sluicing through those orgs, with spending directed by him and his crew but not financed directly by him.
A whole lot of it is tax money, and we're starting to get a *very* occluded glimpse of just how much of it is involved.

In part, state funding of higher education has withered and now in most states is less than they spend on correctional facilities. Higher ed operating costs, due primarily to administrators and staff, consumes well over 50 percent of revenue now in most universities.
Most are also on the hook for huge bond payments because students want creature comforts of a deluxe resort paid for by Uncle Sam and student fees in a lot of cases and modern facilities, labs, etc. are expensive infrastructure to maintain.
Retired academic. By the time I left my rather large university, over 60 percent of English lower level 1101 type courses were taught by ill paid adjuncts. History was approaching that. My department in Humanities was at 40 percent for the basic 1101 class and climbing. I was one of the rare ones that liked teaching 1101 classes but due to demand for my other classes, only did so occasionally after my first couple of years teaching. Administrators and staff, however, were expanding so fast that I couldn't keep up with the various new assistant to the assistant deans, etc.

Then he went on to say, that he and the leadership really believe in the same things that the "pronoun" crew do so when they're elected, they can work in tandem with the Real Democrats(TM) just like they do in Europe.
So, clearly the plan is to be able to run moderate sounding Democrat candidates, effectively complete with Republicans, while the "pronoun" left win with their insane voters and then when they win they can combine with the "moderate Democrats" deferring to the "Pronoun" Progtards for insane policy after insane policy.

Retired tenured professor here. I also grew up in a college town in a subdivision filled with college professors, deans, etc. and have some friends/colleagues that are now university presidents, provosts, deans, etc.
College costs too damn much like medicine because a) student/patient demands, b) too much government redtape for both, c) government student aid/insurance+gubmint means there that someone else is or appears to be paying for the ride so why not get the best.
Have one friend at Grove City College (they fought and won a Scotus case that caused Congress to change the law putting Harvard in the noose ironically). They do quite well in educating students at well under half the cost of most private schools around them but NO Student Aid nor government contracts of any kind.
Cheaper and effective education can be done as Hillsdale and Grove City have proven but for most college administrators, the extra money coming in for all kinds of things precludes that choice for them.

Thanks to Congress, the Fed has two jobs, minimize unemployment and minimize inflation. Humphrey Hawkins Act in the 70's. Thus, it is always caught between the devil and deep blue sea.
I think the era for central banks may be coming to a close soon simply because they do the wrong thing at the wrong time. And like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, cause distortions in the economy and put risks/losses on the taxpayers but privatize the gains.
The EU central bank is even worse and is actively impoverishing Europeans. Japan's is hardly better and China's is a bomb waiting to go off.

They just need to see they have money, no crazy conflict with the school, and a base education (usually fulfilled by the crazy expensive private international schools they went to, also thanks to their money)...

Vice Chair of the DNC David Hogg: I'm Really Fighting for the Great Progressive Cause So If You See Some Sick Scandalous Claims Made Against Me, That's Just My Enemies Trying to Stop My Crusade for Justice
Shyeah, okay.
What did you do, David? What did you do?
David Hogg, a controversial Democratic National Committee vice chair, is pledging to upend Democratic primaries by funding candidates who will challenge "ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel" Democrats. The move puts Hogg, the now 25-year-old who first gained national stature as an outspoken survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, on a collision course with his own party and some Democratic House members. Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced plans on Tuesday to spend $20 million in safe-blue Democratic primaries against sitting House members by supporting younger opponents. In an interview with POLITICO, Hogg said the group will not back primary challenges in battleground districts because "I want us to win the majority," nor will it target members solely based on their age. "We have a culture of seniority politics that has created a litmus test of who deserves to be here," Hogg said. "We need people, regardless of their age, that are here to fight." It's an unprecedented, and controversial, move from a national officer within the Democratic Party that will enrage some insiders. Democratic Party committees, like the DNC, have traditionally not opposed incumbents in their own party, focusing instead on attacking Republicans, while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is explicitly set up to protect incumbent members by providing resources, fundraising and strategy.This is the sort of thing Republican agitators should be doing. Clear out the dead wood. Elect new wood. Increase our number of wood. That wasn't the greatest analogy I've ever made. I'd say it's "David Hogg Level."

Their establishment does suck, is not ideological, is totally corrupt, and is more interested in securing sinecures than advancing political aims through statute.
What's the last major piece of legislation to actually pass Congress? The ACA?

It kinda look like Republican voters figured this one out before the 'out of existence' part, but it's still early days yet.

Not the cleanest of analogies since the GOP squashed the Tea Party and the Democrats co-opted theirs (AOC is an establishment tool and has been forever, I still think she is, she's a conduit for small dollar donations and not a whole lot else).
But...the basic idea is there: rumblings of dissatisfaction with an obviously corrupt and ineffectual establishment.

All three, the Democratic strategist said, are more interested in targeting Democrats than Republicans.
Carville's time has come and gone, but no one seems to have informed him. Hogg may or may not be wrong, but Carville calling him "a contemptible little twerp" is waaay out of line.
Old Man Yells at Cloud! Seriously James? The world has changed just a wee bit since 1992....
David Hogg is the foundation of our future. Carville needs to go into assisted living and eat his cornbread...Shut Up! Apparently he can't let go....but we can ignore him.
Didn't Carville predict the Trump administration would fall within 30 days? Yeah, why do we care what this eldely dipshit thinks again?
while Hogg's efforts are ill-timed, they are justified. If not now, when is the "time" to get milquetoast Dems off their asses?

Hogg is trying to pull off the coup that the Squad tried to do when they were still so young and innocent, and Nancy Pelosi put her Jimmy Choo's up AOCs butt and that idea of "New Blood" died on the vine.

No, I think this is something else. Hogg wouldn't have felt the need to get ahead of this if it was just garden-variety corruption. There is only one thing I can think of that still scares Democraps enough to warrant weird battlespace prep machinations like Hogg here: Sexual misconduct.

They sent it to reconciliation, and just settled on the Senate bill. After reconciliation, both houses have to revote if there are changes to the bill they initially passed. So the House did revote just accepting the Senate bill.
I think one problem is that the Senate bill was an initial negotiating position designed to make the initial passage easy, but totally impractical as a low. But that was what they were stuck with in the end. It had zero concessions to the right as a way to make their initial position as extreme as possible.

Remember Weiner and his claim of being "hacked"?
Everyone knew that was absurd, but it was not for the public, he made that claim for his wife. (As only she would know that the photo was actually him and his little friend)
For the public, he would have said it was photoshop of someone else. For her, he needed to explain why the photo has his dick -- he said his computer was hacked and they stole his photos.
The lesson is that sometimes people involved in scandals are not speaking to the public, they are speaking to their families. They make public statements to try to get ahead of what might come out and shame them or harm family relationships.
Is Hogg dating anyone? It might be as simple as him sleeping with other people if he wouldn't want his boyfriend to know.

It was a payoff to the hospitals. They put provisions in to try and buy off the insurers (If everyone is insured then you will get more premiums/covered lives) and then to support the poorly designed exchange plans it actually started costing the insurers money. Almost all the gain in covered lives was Medicaid signups. The end goal was to disrupt the private market and eliminate private insurance - which would have killed all the health insurers.

Fedgov was laundering money through a number of sources to leftists. USAID was an obvious one, but most money going to NGOs was used to enrich leftists as well.
But even the glut of federal workers was a handout to the left. Underworked and overpaid with the promise of more $$$ if they got Democrats elected gave them most of the federal work force as Democrat workers...

The GOPe lost its way when it became a vehicle to appropriate largesse for a connected few while pretending to care about the concerns and needs of actual citizens.
The D party took a different lost path when in its lust for power it embraced Woke by imposing its ersatz religious values on everyone. There's shrinking demand for this, but the likes of Hogg will make it even smaller.

Is that really true? I mean, I remember every interested party going on the cable shows to say how much the ACA would gut their industry, and yet they are all rich.
At least they had a seat at the table. Pharma, Insurance, Hospital consortiums, Lawyers, Doctors groups, they all had a seat. Patients and the public? Presumably represented by our disgusting political class. In the aftermath, Hospital hallways are still marble castles, Insurance companies still buy naming rights to stadiums, nobody seems to be eating cat food, except the patients who were represented by our disgusting political class.

Kash Patel Fires Anti-Gun Deputy Before Stepping Down as ATF Director
Washington, D.C. – A major shakeup at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is underway.
Kash Patel, who had been serving double duty as Acting Director of the ATF and Director of the FBI, has now been relieved from his ATF role to focus full-time on leading the nation’s top law enforcement agency.
In his place, President Trump has tapped Daniel Driscoll to serve as the new Acting Director of the ATF.
Driscoll, who most recently served as Secretary of the Army, brings with him a military background and a no-nonsense reputation.
Supporters of the Second Amendment are hopeful—but cautious. While any leadership change away from the Biden-era anti-gun cronies is a step in the right direction, gun owners across the country are not letting their guard down.

And you know, I can't entirely disagree with them but there were other people on that sub that trusted a lefty asshole and paid with their lives for that mistake.

Camera Hogg's daddy was FBI, still probably has subversive friends in the Bureau and maybe still has authorized access to files. Daddy gives the FBI files of targeted Dems to his demon spawn and being a stupid loudmouth Wesley Crusher brags about it to others.
Somebody places an anonymous call to Kash Patel that Daddy Hogg and Wesley Crusher Hogg have files they're not supposed to have and are using them for extortion and blackmail.

Those dossiers on everyone that the IC/Party Complex maintains are there as a reserve weapon. I doubt all of the wielders of those weapons are on Hogg's side.

He's rich (illegitimately, but that doesn't matter), he's close to power and has some influence and he's a moderately famous name.

I just wanted to say that the David Hogg controversy is simply another fake and gay manipulation by the Democrats.
Ol' Snakehead gave the game away this morning with his tweet that the "pronoun" left should break away and form their own party and not mess up the Democrats election chances.
Then he went on to say, that he and the leadership really believe in the same things that the "pronoun" crew do so when they're elected, they can work in tandem with the Real Democrats(TM) just like they do in Europe.
So, clearly the plan is to be able to run moderate sounding Democrat candidates, effectively complete with Republicans, while the "pronoun" left win with their insane voters and then when they win they can combine with the "moderate Democrats" deferring to the "Pronoun" Progtards for insane policy after insane policy.
Hogg wasn't a mistake. He's an incompetent weasel but he wasn't a mistake.

DOJ Releases More Evidence Against "Maryland Man"
The Department of Justice released new documents with evidence of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia's membership in the MS-13 gang, amid ongoing legal efforts to return him to the U.S. after his deportation. Key Details: Abrego Garcia, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2011, was deported to El Salvador in March after courts found him to be a public danger due to gang ties. A Board of Immigration Appeals ruling in 2019 upheld findings that he was a "verified member" of MS-13, despite his attempts to dispute the classification. DOJ and DHS documents cite gang-related clothing, testimony from a reliable informant, and even a domestic violence restraining order filed by his wife. Diving Deeper: The Department of Justice on Wednesday released documents showing what immigration officials, police, and federal judges have long alleged: that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a previously deported illegal immigrant, is a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Abrego Garcia, who was removed from the U.S. in March and sent back to his native El Salvador, had long denied his gang affiliations. But the newly released files paint a different picture--one of a man embedded in MS-13's criminal network, known by the moniker "Chele" and reportedly holding the rank of "Chequeo" within the gang's Westerns clique. Included in the dossier is a 2019 ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals that upheld an immigration judge's determination of Abrego Garcia's gang ties, stating he had failed to prove he was not a "danger to property or persons." That judgment followed his 2019 arrest in a Home Depot parking lot in Prince George's County, Maryland. Police noted his attire--specifically a Chicago Bulls hat and a hoodie with images of cash-covered faces--as gang-related symbols. A trusted informant corroborated his gang affiliation during that arrest. Adding to the DOJ's case, the Department of Homeland Security released records showing that Abrego Garcia's wife had sought a domestic violence restraining order against him, further undermining his claims of being no threat to the public.It gets worse, reports David Strom.
@MrAndyNgo In 2022, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained in Tennessee on suspicion of human trafficking. The TN Highway Patrol was instructed to release him and the seven other people in the car by Biden's FBI. Garcia was transporting them from Texas to Maryland.The Tennessee Star's report on the human trafficking allegation:
The Tennessee Star learned on Wednesday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) who was deported to El Salvador under President Donald Trump amid legal action claiming the removal was by mistake, was suspected of being engaged in human trafficking by a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officer who detained him in December 2022, leading the THP to contact the FBI for guidance. Within two hours, the FBI ultimately requested the THP release Garcia and the passengers in his vehicle. THP complied with the request. The Star learned from sources familiar with the incident that Abrego Garcia was stopped for an unknown reason on December 6, 2022, and that the THP officer responsible for the stop immediately discovered Abrego Garcia was transporting seven passengers, with eight individuals inside the vehicle. During a nearly two-hour traffic stop, the THP officer determined that Abrego Garcia (pictured above) was operating the vehicle without a valid driver's license and began searching for information about him. Something about the traffic stop caused concern in the mind of the THP officer that other law enforcement agencies should be alerted. One source told The Star that THP ultimately discovered Abrego Garcia was on a terrorist watch list, but could not locate Abrego Garcia on a deportation list. Another source told The Star that THP did not discover Abrego Garcia on a terrorist watch list but that another one of the seven passengers in the vehicle may have been on a terrorist watch list.So why wasn't he and the passengers in the car arrested and deported? Because Christoper Wray's FBI ordered the cops to release them all:
THP subsequently called the FBI, which was then led by former Director Christopher Wray under the Biden administration. The FBI instructed the THP officers at the scene to capture photographs of all eight people in the vehicle and document its contents. Once the photographs were captured, this source told The Star that the FBI requested THP release all eight individuals and that the THP officers complied with this request.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's wife testified that he beat her while she was holding their baby: "the baby started to cry because he was putting pressure on him, my immediate reaction was to push him off us and then he punched."

He did not include a Gang Field Interview Sheet in the brief that says when Garcia was arrested, he was with several known MS-13. Not only did the informant identify him as a member, the informant was very specific about his rank and his gang name.

I read that to get government funding, it has to be approved by the State Department.
I think it's unclear, at best, who paid for it. It might have been the senator's own funds (probably office funds, so still government but assigned to him to pay for official duty stuff).

‘Stop playing political games': Maryland man's wife pleads for his return home after deportation
More than a month after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported to El Salvador, and days after the Supreme Court ordered his return to the U.S., his wife pleaded for his safe return home.
Kilmmar, "a proud member of CASA and SMART union."

To enter El Salvador as a tourist, one must pay $12 for a tourist card to the El Salvadorian government upon entry if you don't already have a visa (I doubt he does).
So, more than likely, he paid the El Salvadorian government $12 to get told to get bent.

I think it's just reflexive anti-Trump animus that guides them.

For MAGA, due process and the presumption of innocence only apply to WHITE people.
Most of said mouth-breathers believe (and, more to the point, have been trained to believe) that black and brown people are uncivilized savages: violent, criminal, and basically subhuman. They are a danger to all the “normal people” (guess what determines that), and therefore anything that protects said normal people is justified, even if it means turning a blind eye to any legal protections for the “virtual animals.”
It's all immaterial as he was still illegally deported.
If they had all this solid "evidence", then he should have been charged and tried. It is called due process and it is the law which THEY in fact broke!

@TheTNStar
just broke a huge story. You know the illegal immigrant that Democrats are trying to free from an El Salvador prison?
In 2022, he was stopped driving without a license and Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected him of trafficking the 7 people inside. THP then learned he was on a terrorist watch list so they called Biden’s FBI but Biden’s FBI told THP to RELEASE HIM.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was then released due to the Biden FBI order and the THP concerns about trafficking were ignored by the government.
This is on top of a court + Maryland Police finding that they believe he was in MS-13 and his wife reporting that he beat her when filing for a protective order. This is who Democrats want in our country. This is who they’re fighting for. Evil!

-- The Rosenbergs were amongst the worst traitors in history, giving nuclear bomb secrets t the Soviet Union and plunging the world into WWII and near total annihilation. And yet -- they were lionized and defended by the Left at the time, who focused on their poor little children who would be sadly orphaned if the evil USA killed their parents.
-- Tookie Williams was a soulless serial-killing monster who used a shot gun t blow the faces off innocent victims. Again: Held up as a hero by the left.
-- Perverted trannies. 'Nuff said.
Etc. etc. etc.
Why they do it is a matterr of extreme interest. THEY think it's a clever strategy. But in reality it only ever backfires.

If he was not a citizen then his deportation was legal.
>> If they had all this solid "evidence", then he should have been charged and tried. It is called due process and it is the law which THEY in fact broke!
No need to charge him and waste money on a trial. If he’s here illegally, he gets deported. Simple as.

Notice how Kamala kept doing these "snappy comebacks" to things Trump had said a round earlier? Because that's how long it took to come up with them and feed them back to her. Think about how impossible it would be to do comebacks for the PREVIOUS shit said while listening to the current conversation and formulating comebacks for that next round. Totally illogical unless you have help.

The left is the culture of death. They don't create anything, they only tear down. This is, in essence, what Satan is all about. Their refusal of Christianity means there is no forgiveness, so they double down on their insanity as if it were forced upon them. So many on the left are miserable in their own lives, so they lash out against those they see who are happy and productive, in a misguided effort to somehow feel better about themselves. They are constantly offended on someone else's behalf so they won't have to look into their own black hearts and fix the mess they made in their own lives. Culture of Death.

W [spit] just let the accusations roll off, and the others in power seem to try to argue to defend themselves. Kudos to Trump's team who seem ready to dodge a blow and then sucker punch on the follow through. I am not sure this was planned, I think it was agile counter attacking.

And, the Democrat Party is apparently largely majority female now.
Black women and the white women who want them to be their besties are in the driver's seat regarding electoral politics.

A representative from MD, the state that has Baltimore in it, has no business running to another country to get a gang banging wife beater back. They are already full up on those.

Makes sense.
But I don't know if that will hold after.
If it's AOC, for example, she could easily start taking primaries in states like NY, California, Florida & Texas and compete hard with whatever Kamala does in other states.
I don't think SC will make it cut & dry next time out if the Dem field looks in 2028 like it's looking right now.

The primaries have an ebb and flow that quickly cuts out the wheat from the chaff. It's also why having SC (a state with fairly clean elections) go so early makes the primaries so hard to rig.
The Democrats have to go through real voters in SC (IA is fake and NH too small) first to prove their electability to the other states.
It's why all the pre-election bluster died away to accept the inevitability of Biden in 2020 when he won SC by nearly 30 points.

UK Supreme Court Rules That Women-Only Spaces are For Biological, Not "Trans," Women
There's such a thing as a "woman." Apparently being a woman is not just down to "whether I'm feelin' cute today."
Who knew.The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom unanimously ruled Wednesday that a woman is someone born biologically female, a move that now excludes transgender women from the legal definition of a woman. Trans women can be excluded from some single-sex spaces and groups under the U.K. Equality Act, the five judges of the top court ruled. These spaces and groups include changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas and medical or counseling services provided only to women. The ruling means that even a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes. But Justice Patrick Hodge said its ruling "does not remove protection from trans people," who are "protected from discrimination on the ground of gender reassignment."Oh wonderful.
Hannah Ford, an employment lawyer, said that while the judgment will provide clarity on the controversial issue in the U.K., it would be a setback for transgender rights and there would be "an uphill battle" to ensure workplaces are welcoming places for trans people.Oh no, a wounding.
"This will be really wounding for the trans community," Ford told Sky News.
An incredible image that encapsulates the true insanity of our times.

Farcebook started serving me videos of a woman who is a hiking proponent. I like hiking so...I can see why. In the videos she's out hiking and talks about the benefits of it...all wholesome stuff. I noticed though she wasn't getting many likes or views.
Then in one of her videos she drops "oh and I'm bisexual" and...10X as many likes and views and a whole bunch of people leaving her comments saying "she is so brave"
So get the math here? Make videos about hiking and you won't get noticed or really paid. But make videos about hiking as a bisexual and you will.
You get more of what you pay for.

2) She's "experimenting" and will soon find that while she gets along with her girlfriend better emotionally since they are both women that there is no...spark. Or anyone to kill spiders and open pickle jars

I don't think tilapia is a fish so much as a general term for a number of similar white-ish fish. I don't remember it existing until maybe 10 years ago, when it was suddenly everywhere. It's cheap and inoffensive. I always assumed its very popular with illegals.

A lot of tilapia comes from China and China is not that particular on food hygiene. It is Egyptian in origin and can thrive in hotter stagnant pools where other fish give up and die.
If you can get some farm raised in the US tilapia, then it resembles flounder more than anything and requires a delicate touch on seasoning.

The Dutch, from as far back as the 1990's took a wait-and-see, buy time for maturation approach to teen and pre-teen patients. The British deviated from this in the early aughts and switched to an "affirmation first" approach. The U.S. quickly followed suit. The British focused their adolescent gender programs at the Tavistock in order to try to collect statistically significant data and following the Cass Report showing no demonstrable improved psychiatric outcomes put a halt on the Tavistock gender program last year and are returning to more like the Dutch approach. The U.s. clings to the "affirmation first" approach, which promotes socially transitioning first (chosen names, chosen pronouns, outward appearance such as hair and clothing) which locks kids into a one-way ticket to transgender hell in the form of puberty blockers, cross gender hormones and eventual surgery.
The euphemism "gender affirming care" translates into English as "delusion validating abuse".

They don't do that in the US nor catfish. Some trout farms do and some do not. And, a fair number of 'wild' inland fish sold in the US are subjected to sewage effluent. The key is to find trusted farms rather than a wholesale abandonment here as US hygiene standards are higher than most of the world.
But, applying antibiotics is typically done with Chinese fish imports of farmed shrimp or tilapia because the fish would die without it and often antibiotics are used post mortem to stave off decay and to pass customs.
Vietnamese catfish variant basically grow up in rivers used as dumps for sewage and industrial waste.
Thai shrimp and seafood factories can be hit or miss in hygience and quality.
If you have to go with farmed fish/seafood, the US raised is mostly the best place to buy from. (You do have to watch for shady substitutions of foreign for US though by some off labels). FWIW, studies indicate that a lot of supermarket fish is actually mislabeled as to species if that makes a difference to you.

The exotic tilapia, an African species, was pulled from the Monongahela River
In part, "Tilapia -- both a fish-farming boon and a piscine pest -- appears to have made its way into the Monongahela River.
It's not the first time the African species, introduced in the South to control invasive weeds and now ubiquitous table fare, has surfaced in Pennsylvania. Almost 20 years ago, tilapia caused a mild panic on the Susquehanna River when escapees from a fish farm at Brunner Island near Harrisburg found refuge in the warm water discharge of a power plant.
"We took unprecedented steps to get rid of them," said Bob Lorantas, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's chief warm water biologist. "We got the discharge temporarily shut off until they died."

I'm sure that this was likely Boyle/Garland's intent in the film, but I have a different view. The breakdown of the British Army is the last straw for civilization, in fact, they held out the longest. Which is what makes their breakdown so terrifying, especially since their commander is absolutely right about needing women in order to have a future.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
On March 27, President Trump issued an executive order arguing that there has been a “concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history” and promote a “distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.” This “revisionist movement” casts American “founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light.” A White House fact sheet calls for “revitalizing key cultural institutions and reversing the spread of divisive ideology.” Vice President JD Vance, a member of the Smithsonian Board of Regents, is tasked with leading the administration’s efforts. Critics of the executive order responded quickly. They maintain the Trump Administration wants to “whitewash the past and suppress discussion of systemic racism.” The Smithsonian, the critics contend, is led by non-partisan professionals whose aim is to be truthful and inclusive and tell the whole story of America, including groups that have been neglected in the past. Professor David W. Blight of Yale, who is president of the Organization of American Historians (OAH), complained that the executive order is a “laughable thing until you realize what their intent actually is and what they’re doing is trying to erode and then obliterate what we have been writing for a century.”The purpose of the Smithsonian and other museums is to teach...not to preach a particular perspective, especially when that perspective is antithetical to everything upon which this country is based. We don't need cheerleaders for the 1619 Project and other initiatives that are designed to destroy the very concept of American Exceptionalism and replace it with a miserable devotion to guilt, reparations, and a demeaning view of our country. But that's what we have in too many museums and cultural institutions, and President Trump is absolutely correct in his efforts to change it. We are owed a certain amount of respect for America by the people who are charged with preserving its history, and men like David Blight (of Yale!) do not deserve that responsibility. Read the whole article...it is sobering that America Hate is so embedded, but it is tremendously gratifying that President Donald Trump is doing something about it! And I think he has chosen exactly the correct person to spearhead the effort. Vice President Vance is not a child of privilege; he understands how complex our history is. But he also appreciates America, and will bring that attitude to the Smithsonian. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter] And the Apple and Spotify feeds for CJN's podcast should be working!

Actually, it isn't. It was never finished. It was well on its way to completion, but then leftwing 60s paranoia and hysteria set in, and the process was reversed.
We're now busing black kids long distances so they can go to school with ... other black kids.
We're separating commencements, clubs, housing, and general social gatherings by race.
A significant portion of paranoid -- and brainwashed -- black women talk about dating white men like they were Jim Crow KKK and the races were reversed.
Whites too are jumping on this bandwagon. A not-insignificant number of whites has simply had it with all the bullshit and would rather never associate with blacks ever again.

Trump is spearheading a countermovement in the culture but is also a lightning rod. Much of the anti-American side of the culture is knee-jerk anti-Trump sentiment.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the cultural shift in the post-Trump years. Will his legacy leave a well-established nucleus of sanity? Without Trump as their focal point will the victimhood obsessed crybabies lose traction and dwindle in terms of relevance? One can hope so.

That's the grift -- if it's "systemic," "institutional," or "disparate impact" then they don't have to come up with a specific cases(s) of actual people exhibiting racism. . . and it can never be "fixed."
Well, their true fix is to destroy the systems and institutions of racism, something the activists have been saying while the MSM/DNC/businesses/institutions being subverted refuse to acknowledge.

Nobody actually pays that other than if you’re the kid of Bull Gates or something.
My oldest is in HS and I’ve been looking at this stuff. Even with a healthy income, when you use the “how much will I pay” calculators for Ivy League schools it’s nowhere near these numbers. In my case the estimate was about $35-40k a year all in, with room, board, books, etc
By no means cheap. But also not $100k a year like what you have.

AI is likely to change writing, art, etc. exceptionally so and in a way democratize them because it removes the filter that professional technique mastery imposes on those that engage in it.
That is what elites fear most--imagine ordinary people at home being able to conjure up their own movies of AI characters--animated or semi real, create their own studio quality albums with songs aided by AI without reading music charts, imagine writers that can have AI assist on plot, characters, etc. Doctors and nurses able to use expert systems for checking their diagnoses etc.
And that is just the predictable parts.
It all has downsides, students who no longer bothering with any learning and accepting what AI prompts give them as fact. Without a knowledge base, they can't tell the difference and might not even care whether it is factual. Ditto for lawyers using AI for brief assistance, and so on.
It will be a strange and new world with unpredictable results but the stagnation imposed on Western society is ending.

Nice. At my school (SJSU), I took out a loan for 25K for two years in the early 90s and that was living on campus all year. Nowadays, that gets you one year at the most. Under the GI Bill, tuition is free and you still get a housing allowance and book stipend.

When I was a yoot in HS, I was big into spelunking. My friends and I had to do a biology project, so we kidnapped some bats from one of the caves and kept them in my room. We went to the Smithsonian to talk to their bat expert, and he took us into a back room where there were endless file cabinets full of bat specimens. He told us we really shouldn't have grabbed the bats as they are threatened. I would never do it again, as it really is irresponsible.

If we are dragged back into what we were, or if we have something new pushed upon us, if we lose the American identity then we will become something less, and lose our connection to each other. What is a nation without a unifying culture? Ask the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The only way we have a future as a society, as a nation, is if we reject this and return to E Pluribus Unum, the unification and transcendence of what came before. We are either the unfinished pyramid or a scattered pile of broken stones, never to rise.

FAFSA is unless you’re on welfare. I’m talking the colleges themselves will discount heavily. It’s mostly based on income. Under $100k family income tuition is basically free. Then it’s a sliding scale above $100k. And they will also hook students up with an on campus job. Every school has its own formula buts generally the same.
At least how it is at Ivy schools and similar. Duke, Stanford, etc.
They msrp tuition May be $100k a year. But virtually nobody actually past that.
I’ve spent a lot of time looking into this. My wife has a spreadsheet of it all.
Even some state schools will discount generously for students with certain GPAs and/or SAT scores.

One thing is absolutely critical before Trump can declare real progress in the fight over culture: He must somehow end the leftist sinecures that "Foundations" like the Mellon Foundation (here, in this story) have morphed into, and force these useless communists into the real world, where (hopefully) their struggles for legal tender will turn them into something more human.

Social media. People got addicted to likes. Early, talented, adopters got rich and people wanted that. Trouble is that follow-on people had to be more extreme, and more extreme, and they all think they're going to be the next pewdiepie.
People share the best moments of their lives and pretend it's the whole thing. People give absolutely stupid advice to people but, because they have followers and the video gets likes, naive people follow that advice.

No tax exemption on those either. It ain't charitable giving if the government has a role in subsidizing it.
The fly in the ointment is religious organizations and the free exercise clause which if religious organizations are treated differently than secular, introduces establishment clause issues. In addition, if you take away tax exemptions from others, you had best have a neutral secular generally applicable provision such as denying tax exemptions to Harvard on the basis of discrimination and harassment based on religion (Jews for now). Bob Jones precedent can apply to Harvard because they are doing what Bob Jones allegedly did all those years ago in the 80's.
But sometimes a bright line rule that treats everyone the same is better than allowing whoever is in government to pick and choose winners. That is the current situation.

You certainly will. But yes, even religious institutions,otherwise, I can see places like Harvard (which still has a divinity school despite disliking divinity) could claim religious exemptions.
During my time as a church member, I have also seen churches spend money like drunken sailors because it was perceived to be free. So why not propose something to spend that reserve so you can show virtue. Other times, a member who was a commercial builder but a big donor persuaded the Elders to build a big PT annex which he of course built at a profit.
I am to the level of subsidiarity in most things in life--smaller is more beautiful whether in government or your church. Lots of little museums--art and other wise that are tucked around the US that are still not woke. But they rely on volunteers and those truly dedicated rather than big donors and expensive paid staff.

Well, many of these foundations were established to avoid inheritance taxes.
My suggestion: foundations must have a sunset clause. They die 50 years after the death of their founder, or when the original endowment runs out, whichever comes first. Foundations cannot raise money from the public or from "angel" donors. If they can operate off the interest generated by their endowment, fine, but whatever money remains after the 50 years expire defaults to the government, and must be used to retire debt.
Foundation directors must be unpaid volunteers. They can have a few paid employees to answer phones, keep books, and sweep the office. Foundations not explicitly endowed as partisan political orgs may not engage in partisan politics. Foundation directors must not substantially change the foundation's goals from those envisioned by the founder.

The pendulum started swinging back in 2010.
And then the establishment put their hands on the pendulum and refused to let it move. Their grip slipped in 2016, and then they tried to punish us for that.
What I think we are at is the first sign that the grip on the pendulum has been lost, that a hard, hard swing back to the right, which has been pent up in those clock springs for more than a decade, is being let loose.

The DOJ's antitrust win against Google's ad tech monopoly is a long-overdue reckoning. Google's stranglehold on digital advertising crushed competition, inflated costs for businesses, and weaponized market power against free speech. While the case originated under Trump's DOJ in 2020, the current administration's follow-through proves even broken clocks are right twice a day.
Real accountability means dismantling Google's ad exchange monopoly—not just fines. Break the tech cartels, restore fair markets, and stop letting Silicon Valley oligarchs rig the system.
Next target: the censorship-industrial complex.

I’m pretty sure that this is true, if you add the rider “… under the current tax regime.”
In Walter M. Miller Jr.’s wonderful A Canticle for Leibowitz, there’s a bit at the end about how easy euthanasia was set up so that the effects of ruinous government decisions (in this case, people affected by nuclear radiation) wouldn’t be obvious. The same could be said, I think, for tax-exempt status for religious organizations. A bunch church bankruptcies in the short term, boarded-up churches in the near term and even their lack in the long-term, never looks good.
Tax-exempt status for churches helps hide the ruinous effects of property taxes on individuals. It removes a possible flashpoint for changing and eliminating property taxes.

I know I'm in the minority opinion, but I supported moving the Barnes Foundation to Philadelphia from the suburbs. The town of Marion had an incredible collection of art, but they didn't want any outsiders coming to their exclusive little town to see it. There was no parking at the old location, you had to make an appointment to visit months in advance, which was against the spirit of what Barnes wanted for his collection.

Congratulations to my friends, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Speaker Dustin Burrows, along with Texas Legislators, for finally passing SCHOOL CHOICE, which I strongly endorsed – this is a gigantic Victory for students and parents in the Great State of Texas! We will very soon be sending Education BACK TO ALL THE STATES, where it belongs. It is our goal to bring Education in the United States to the highest level, one that it has never attained before. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

If we had an aggressive DoJ and FBI prosecuting, convicting and bankrupting the treasonous and their acolytes physical confrontation could be avoided. The elite do not want their comfortable live disturbed. Fear of penalty will conform them.

We really need to take a hard look at how gooberment education is funded. Why should all of it come from property tax? I'd say fund education operating costs out of general revenue, and let communities fund the capital cost of the physical plant (buildings and grounds) from bond issues. One can argue that the presence of a nice school building in the neighborhood improves property values.

The ultimate source of political power is, and always will be, violence. If the present administration should continue on its course, there is no choice but war. I say this out of sorrow — when must we kill them?
What this asshole needs is a guy in a dark suit and sunglasses standing next to a black SUV parked outside his house.

that cover the same topics talked about here? I'd really like to be a part
of online community where I can get feed-back from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Kudos!

It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a
lot more useful than ever before.
