Top Story
- AMD's new top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor is here. Don't buy it. (Tom's Hardware)
Not AMD's fault. They've resisted shipping CPUs with this configuration for years, claiming that it only helped performance for certain very specific workloads.
They were right.
Also, Intel's new 270K Plus is nearly as fast for creative work at less than half the price. Yes, it's on a dead platform, but even if you'll end up throwing away both the CPU and the motherboard it may work out better value than the 9950X3D2.
Tech News
- Framework's new Laptop 13 Pro provides an Intel Core Ultra 7 358H - the one with the best in class integrated graphics that only works with soldered LPDDR5X memory - and also expandable memory. (Notebook Check)
Courtesy of a LPCAMM2 module, which lets you upgrade memory that would normally be soldered to the motherboard.
Up to 64GB of RAM, a 2880x1920 13" touch screen, and none of the Four Essential Keys. Sore point, because they have 20 different keyboard options including some with additional keys, but none have those four.
It's fully compatible with the existing Laptop 13's motherboard and expansion modules, but with a CNC machined aluminium chassis.
They also announced a keyboards - which also lacks the Four Essential Keys.
- SpaceX has signed a deal with Cursor that gives them the option to buy that company for $60 billion. (Twitter)
This may or may not happen.
- Anthropic suspended one company's access to Claude, leaving 60 employees unable to do anything for 15 hours. (Tom's Hardware)
I don't think the problem there is with Anthropic.
- Amazon meanwhile is investing $25 billion in Anthropic, as part of a deal where Anthropic spends $100 billion over 10 years with Amazon. (CNBC)
The money on the bus goes round and round...

The Russkis have been attempting to penetrate Alaskan airspace for many decades. This rarely makes the Lower 48 news, but it literally happens all the time.
According to a friend who should know, in recent history the game has been to intercept the Russians before they get within cruise missile range of Anchorage.
They don't always succeed.
I can totally believe that a Russian plane was downed back then... there are areas that are still damned remote today, much less in 1952, and there weren't a zillion satellites taking pictures, either.

Learning that the fancy ER-grade Foley catheters now have a built-in temperature probe. Apparently urine temperature is a good proxy for actual core temperature, and having a probe in the urine stream lets you do continuous temperature monitoring with sticking another probe up the patient's ass.

I read his memoir earlier this year. It includes a section where he lists each movie or TV series he was in, and sums it up as good or bad. For instance, he mentions 1966's Mister Buddwing and says, "To this day I don't know what it was about. What were they thinking?"

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 21, 2026 [Doof]
When ya gotta go... Built-In Car Toilet: The Future of Comfort on The Road?
Long road trips can be uncomfortable, especially when there’s no easy place to stop for a bathroom break. To solve this problem, Chinese engineers are developing a car toilet that can be built directly into electric vehicles. Seres, a company focused on high-end electric cars and smart technology, has received a patent for an in-vehicle toilet system. This car toilet is designed to slide out from under a passenger seat, making it easy to use during long drives, camping trips, or when staying inside the vehicle for extended periods. The system is designed for convenience. Drivers or passengers can activate the car toilet either by pressing a button or using voice commands. When not in use, it stays hidden under the seat, saving space and keeping the interior neat. To manage odor, the toilet includes a ventilation system with a fan and exhaust pipe that pushes smells outside the vehicle. Waste is stored in a tank that needs to be emptied manually. There is also a heating element that helps evaporate liquid waste and dry solid waste, improving cleanliness and reducing odor.You know who might not like this idea?
A day after San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island closed to visitors for a week of repairs at its ferry dock, National Park Service spokesperson Joshua Winchell provided more details regarding what led up to the shutdown — and why another closure is on the horizon. The island was briefly closed on Jan. 14 so staff could inspect the pilings that secure the dock on the island. “Results from this inspection confirmed the need for repair,” he said in an email. “Additional improvements to the dock and pilings are anticipated later this year, which will necessitate another temporary closure of the island.” Alcatraz City Cruises makes more than 3,200 ferry trips to the island annually, according to Winchell, transporting 1.5 million visitors per year.Any of you ever been to "The Rock"? Please share your experience! ----- There was a discussion on a daytime thread last week about new music. Several Hordelings were of the opinion that there is no new rock music being made. I disagree with that. There is plenty of new rock (and other genres, too), we just don't get exposed to new music the way we used to. Here's an interesting article on the subject. It is from an Australian perspective, but its points apply globally, I would say. Streaming platforms give us access to new music, so why are fewer people listening to it?
In 2017, music streaming platforms, led by Spotify, became the dominant form of recorded music distribution in Australia. The shift from a purchase-based (CDs, vinyl and downloads) to an access-based (streaming) economy represented a fundamental change in the music business. Streaming platforms, with close to unlimited repertoire, enable and encourage passive listening via playlists and algorithmic recommendation. The result is that catalogue music has become the mainstay of the recorded music industry.The algorithmic recommendations mentioned above are where users have the power / choice as to what to be fed. If you allow the algorithm to feed you tracks related or similar to those on your playlist, you have a better chance of hearing something new (or at least new to you). What are your thoughts, fellow music lovers? ----- Speaking of music. This is another interesting topic, I think. Comparison of $4,000 boutique audio cable to $7 Amazon Basics cable shows audiophiles waste a lot of money — scientific audio equipment analysis with analyzer shows no difference in quality
Should you splash out on those upgraded audio cables to take your music listening pleasure up a notch? Probably not - affordable Amazon Basics RCA cables are more than good enough - confirms audio TechTuber Amir from Audio Science Review. This won’t be a surprise to regular readers. However, it is interesting to see Amir’s $7 vs $4,000 cable analysis using scientific audio equipment – as well as drawing from his personal music listening experience.Check out the whole thing. Very thorough analysis and comparisons. ----- Couldn't agree with this more! The influencer culture is asshoe.
Let’s find whoever started all that crap and LOCK THEIR ASSES UP.

Salina is a small city, and I like city amenities without too many people and cars. Plus Salty and NotSoThoreau have been talking the state up for a while and urging me to visit.
Why not? I hate Da Swamp and the humidity-drenched regions around it. When I got to Pine Bluff, AR, on Friday evening, I was exhausted, damp, and wrung out. When I arrived at Fort Scott, KS, on Saturday, I was tired but not wasted. And the same on Sunday at Salina -- though that was the short leg of the trip.

Well, there was one cute girl who got off the elevator in my hotel this morning . . . but she was guarded by a Doberman.
Oh, you mean houses? Yes, one, a blue-and-white bungalow with a white picket fence (really!) and a two-car garage, plus a partially finished basement that almost doubles the usable space. The floors are hardwood or have been resurfaced with laminate, the garage has a door opener, and there is even a little windowed pantry space off the kitchen that I know the cats would love. Main bedroom and bath downstairs, two smaller bedrooms or offices upstairs. It faces east on a N-S street, too.
A little high on the price scale for me, but my realtor lady thinks I could offer $10K under and see what happens.

Cuter than that. It's medium blue with white trim, it has a little astroturfed front yard with two garden patches trimmed with bricks, and while there are no porches, there is space out back to make a kind of patio.
The odd thing: The big refrigerator is in the dining room just outside the kitchen. There's an alcove for a fridge in the kitchen proper -- but this big thing just won't go through the archway. Realtor lady said I could have it moved to the garage, buy a new smaller one, and sell the old for more money than the new one.

I get good cables for the guitar and amp speaker cabinets because they take a beating. The better cables are thicker, have better ends on them, and they last way longer compared to cheaper stuff. I don't do it for sound though. At home I'll use the cheap shit because they don't get hammered, but I have all good ones in the road cases for when it counts.

Twice. Once as a kid, once as an adult. First time they had a tour guide who actually told us interesting facts about the place and some of the more famous (or infamous, if you prefer) inmates and answered questions. Second time you could rent a headset.
One the first tour the guide told us a story about when they would let you "feel" how it was to be an inmate by letting people go into the cells and closing the cell doors. Then the mechanism had a failure and a group got stuck in the cells for a few hours. They don't do that any more.

I lived in San Francisco for several years and went to Alcatraz quite a few times. It's best to go around May when the flowers are in bloom and the baby seagulls have hatched. They’re adorable. The audioguide of the prison is a must. It's very well done and there are sound clips of former prisoners that are quite haunting. Plus, the ferry ride over offers exquisite views of the city. I highly recommend it!

Because appeals have been filed, he is stuck in a detention center until his case is heard again by a three-judge panel in five to seven months.
Which means he is in a cell with no A/C and five other roommates.
Johnny will be sleeping next to the shithole in the floor, at least initially as the new guy.
He will only be allowed out of the cell for 30 minutes a day.
There will no talking, only passing letters allowed.
One hot shower a week and there are fights over the hot water.
His food will consist of bad rice and soup unless it's a holiday and then gets white rice.
Only way for him to buy stuff from the commissary is to speak fluent Korean or find someone to buy for him.

One thing I spend too much time on is researching photos online of places in non-fiction books, especially memoirs.
If they're mid-century or less, addresses are available in the Census and the sites may still be standing.
Sometimes the picture in your head is better than the reality, though.

One important factor is you have a constant strong breeze with all of that. So the temp and humidity won’t seem anywhere as bad as some places. But there will be a few weeks of oppressive heat.

Which is why I want a house that will be easy to air-condition. And a "few weeks" of oppressive heat sounds like a dream after a climate with *ten months* of oppressive heat, and warm humid days possible in the other two.
The 82 F. today felt so dry by comparison to Da Swamp that it was more like 72. My hands were dry and not feeling dipped in glue. People have said it was one of those perfect days they get every year -- but then they don't know what I'm fleeing.

Think NV has long wildly over-represented Ds, based on total House state-wide votes. Probably other states as well.
Don't the TX and prospective FL redistrictings still leave Ds over-represented?
With unaccountable courts substantially running/ruining the country by ignoring the constitution and building a ridiculous edifice of court-made law, federal institutions under Dem prezes mere weapons against the public and their pathetic political "opponents", nothing resembling an actual press, and rampant official lawlessness at state and municipal level (with enormous costs and body counts) - just to what degree is the US actually a constitutional republic with representative govt. and rule of law?

Man, I'm really getting in astro-space geek mode. I just watched, with some excitement, NASA's presser today on the new Nancy Grace Roman space telescope. Isaacman was there, and he was happy to tout it came under under budget and ahead of schedule. Let's hope he gets that ethic burned in some hides in NASA.
The thing is fully racked, stacked, and packed ready to be mounted on the launch rocket (Falcon 9 Heavy) to launch it to L2 sometime in Sept.
This thing is going to blow away all the previous ones, as impressive as they've been. It will survey and map in one year what would take 2000 years with Hubble, for instance. It will produce over 1TB of data every day, and will have amassed 20 PB of data after 5 years.
And it will discover tens of thousands of new exoplanets. As of now, there are about 6000 confirmed exoplanets. They expect this thing will raise that to 100,000 when it's done all it can.

Friend who's a world-class ocean swimmer used to have business trips up there, with one client they would *go for a swim in the Bay* instead of lunch. !!!! He also used to do the swim where they start (I think) from the Marina, swim out and around Alcatraz, and back. There's a current on the back (north) side that's like 2-3 knots or something, so it takes a while just to swim that portion.
He also won, or placed, in the swim where they drop the contestants out beyond the south pier of the Golden Gate - the finish line is the Bay Bridge. !!!!!! He laughingly described how the "newbies" would seek the warmer water - which was actually the outbound current. Vets knew to find the coldest water on the swim in - in-bound current. Tenders kept ships from killing these guys. This guy's not really human, something different with him.

The technology here with this thing is amazing. It has a fancy coronograph instrument that, bottom line, will allow *direct imaging* of exoplanets close enough.
You've probably seen the LASCO corona graphs and similar. They block out the light of the sun, allowing the corona to be imaged.
Well Nancy Grace will do that with the little points of starlight, and get images of even tinier little dust specks, which are the exoplanets, buzzing in the glare of those points of starlight.

In theory one could gerrymander out the minority party so they hold no majority vote in any district. Even 51% vs 49%.
The only reason why there is even one R district is because they could not find a D with enough intelligence to draw the boundaries. So the best the 51% could do was eliminate 80% of the 49% minority leaving them a net 10% of the population.

The clot shot fiasco bear heavily in this. We made young healthy people get a poison shot to protect them against a disease that is no danger for young healthy people.
Now, the flu shot isn't dangerous, but it doesn't really do anything either. By the time we guess what flus are coming out of China they'll have mutated so much your vaccine won't protect you.

Given everything I have seen that was public domain those agencies would have to prove to me that they did not do it.

The exoplanet detection method will be gravitational microlensing. This is the tiny, *tiny* bending of light by the planet sized bodies it's looking for. That's just amazing of itself, and show the orders of magnitude this tech is progressing.
That will allow it to detect exomoons, provided they are far enough away from the parent planet. The mass limit there is about Ganymede mass, our own Moon would be a bit below the threshold. They're setting the expectations low, but they say they expect to confirm at least one exomoon orbiting a big Jupiter or bigger sized exoplanet.

They definitly restrict access to older music.
Searching for things, different sessions of the same song by the same singer or group, will not come up in selection. I think they do it to avoid ASCAP or BMI fees. They also edit movies and other, such as the History channel, showings.
If they do it to those things they will do it to new music.

Too big a topic for a comments section. The ludicrous disenfranchisement in VA just brought the whole thing to mind.
Technically, as 18-1 wisely pointed out, the ridiculous VA districts create a risk of a Dem wipeout, given plausible political conditions on election day (that's DAY, bitches, talk to Alito if you don't follow). If you draw a map such that about 45% of the voters (all things being equal/typical) can only win 10% of the seats, by necessity you've created some weird and volatile districts.

There've been many hints of late that the standard model of the Big Bang/cosmology is wrong (hints the universe expansion might not be accelerating -- the type 1a supernovae "standard candles" might be wrong, etc, etc).
When Roman completes it's first one year survey of the whole sky, that will be confirmed or refuted.

I think both the UK and the Netherlands did studies of the enormous data collected over decades on flu shot benefits. IIRC impact on mortality was statistical noise. Don't think they looked at anything else but collecting "data" on things severity of an influenza-like illness is probably doomed to be squishy subjective and useless.

...USAID and NGO workers are the least sympathetic unemployed people I’ve ever seen.
EVERY person in this story was making well into six figures:
USAID employee: $175,000
USAID contractor: $127,000
USAID-funded NGO employee: $272,000(!)
USAID advisor at the DOD: $195,000
USAID contractor: $200,000
There were 16,000 employees at USAID, and the New York Times was only able to interview one making less than $175k. Worldwide, there were an estimated 280,000 contractors.
ALL of these people were getting paid from our tax dollars. Many were making 2-4x the wage of the average American taxpayer ($65-70k per year).

A lot of the books, like many movies, have been infected with identity politics. I like suspense books. So, I started one book that looked promising. Then a female character said she admired a male character because he screwed women and men. It's hard to enjoy a book when you want all of the characters to be killed off.

Amusing, but a little disturbing, that Wolfus's prospective Salina home has been outed already. He may have to look elsewhere. Saw that Arkansas and SE Okla were recommended. I'd add NE Okla, plenty of burbs in the Tulsa region might meet his criteria. Weather is a little better than SE Ok😉, and OK politics are more conservative than Kansas. We need all we can get. He'd have to start openly packing and buy a big black broad-brimmed cowboy hat, though.🤠
A shame his gal is so passive-aggressive about his moving, but not surprising from what he's written about the two of them. 🥺 He has to do what he has to do.

Sounds terrible doesn't it? A welfare check gone wrong. But wait, it's not one officer it's like a platoon of agencies. Puts and entirely different perspective on the initial lede.
"On April 19, officers from the LeFlore County Sheriff's Office, the Wister Police Department, and the U.S. Forestry Department, were called to assist with a welfare check at a residence. Upon arrival they were met with gunfire; when the officers returned fire the suspect retreated into the residence and barricaded himself inside. During the exchange of gunfire, Deputy Sheriff LeMay and a Wister police officer were struck, and Deputy Sheriff LeMay was pronounced dead at the scene"

THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT.
His lawyers didn’t show up to negotiate.
They showed up to BEG. Here’s what Bondi’s team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama’s codename — RENEGADE:
— 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.”
— A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN.
— Communications with Epstein’s handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.”
— A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office.
He didn’t just betray America.
He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired.
His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity.
Trump said no.
No deals. No mercy. No escape.
The man who divided America for 8 years is about to face the America he tried to destroy.

That’s 25 days of work each year that Americans are paying directly to fraudsters.
I’m guessing it’s a lot more than 3%-7%. There’s so much more fraud to uncover here in the United States.

When mom went into memory care, we had one hell of a time getting her to take a shower. She would always tell us she would shower when she got home. I guess she thought she was visiting somewhere, but it's not like she didn't shower on vacations before. No idea what the issue was about.
Luckily the visiting hairdresser would wash and set her hair like the bad old days, and she liked that fine.

NYT opinion:
"It is not ageist to ask whether older people should be required to give more to younger Americans and national priorities - it is critical to the future of our democracy and society. America needs to confront gerontocracy before the system collapses under the weight of its inequality and injustice.
Older Americans deserve a say over the future even when they might not live to see it. But they do not deserve the stranglehold over it they currently enjoy through overrepresentation in elections, which produces too many regressive policies and too many seniors in the highest offices.
Older Americans are owed the care that everyone else funds. Indeed, they should get more of it than they get now - including funding for long-term care at home or in nursing homes. But they also need incentives to give up accumulated housing, jobs and wealth.
In little more than a century, the extension of life has transformed American and global politics. It turned older Americans, who had been one of the most underprivileged groups in the country, into some of the most overprivileged."

As @POTUS has made clear, the United States Navy will continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In a matter of days, Kharg Island storage will be full and the fragile Iranian oil wells will be shut in. Constraining Iran’s maritime trade directly targets the regime’s primary revenue lifelines.
The @USTreasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran’s ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds.
Any person or vessel facilitating these flows—through covert trade and finance—risks exposure to U.S. sanctions.
We continue to freeze the funds stolen by the corrupt leadership on behalf of the people of Iran."

Went to see three more houses today. One was okay, one was lower than meh as it had no garage (but space to build one at least). The third was a charmer. Unfortunately, as I was leaving to meet Salty for an early dinner (and he is, as I always suspected, a gentleman as well as a scholar), my car flashed a message at me: "Right low beam failure."
I had the left done a couple of years ago, and I know it's not as simple to change the HID bulb as it was to swap a bulb in 1970s-1990s cars. But my regular mechanic told me he had to take the bumper off to reach the headlight housing! YooToob videos make no mention of that, but admit various bits have to be removed or moved. I've had a tire and service place here in Salina recommended to me and will try them tomorrow. I don't want to drive at night or in rain with only one headlight!

The whole thing is against the VA Consitutition.
Normally, you can't make an amendment unless a vote has passed between - aka, you need 2 sitting legislatures both passing it. Ds passed the amendment after early voting started in the last state legislature, so that does not meet the "a vote passing" in between standard.

It was a great dinner -- excellent Italian food, and we had a great time talking.
The tire and service place I've had recommended opens at 7:30. If it's like tire places in Da Swamp, they don't take appointments and are first come-first served. The part won't be terribly cheap, but labor to do something like remove and replace a bumper is rough. On the other hand, the driver's side, which required that bumper removal, may be more crowded with gear like the fuse box than is the passenger side. We'll see.

Sometimes you get lucky if you look at it closely. We had a 2001 Acura TL some years ago. The procedure was to drop the bumper. I found a much faster way that didn't require dropping the bumper. A friend of mine had an Altima that was supposedly a nightmare to change the bulb. All I did was pull the air box and got to it no problem. Maybe 10 minutes.

As mentioned, it will be interesting to see how this turns out (if the VA SC keeps chickening out). If they kept the districts the same and turnout was the same from 2025, Ds would have been 9-2 after 2026. Now, they've spent a ton of money, used up a lot of political goodwill, will be putting up new candidates in the gerrymandered spots, and are hoping for 1 extra seat. Will be interesting if this backfires, and they end up 8-3 or worse...

So I hope. The YooToob videos I've looked at, for my car and year and the HID headlights, don't mention the bumper removal. Maybe I'll come out of this quickly and for less $$$ than I expect.
Hey, it's a ten-year-old car. This was bound to happen sooner or later. The Buick has been extremely reliable and cheap to run, feed, maintain, and repair.
The tire shop is within a mile of the charmer house I looked at this morning, so maybe I can get an idea of the neighborhood (which looked good on the visit earlier).

Funding education off property tax is evil. Fund school buildings? Sure. Because nice school buildings (and grounds) can have other community uses, and a nice modern school building can be a magnet to draw new residents to the community, spreading out the tax burden a little.

Lots of the schools up here do get funded by general revenue, because most of the village do not have a tax base worth shit. But, in the populous areas, like Anchorage, Fairbanks, MatSu, and the Kenai, they soak property owners for it. Sucks when you realize the schools are awful (except for some reason, in MatSu). We do not pay state income tax, and the only sales taxes are local to municipalities, which then pays for services. We do soak tourists for things like fishing and hunting licenses, bed taxes, and other premiums. But most of the income is from oil and gas development.

Went to see three more houses today. One was okay, one was lower than meh as it had no garage (but space to build one at least). The third was a charmer. Unfortunately, as I was leaving to meet Salty for an early dinner (and he is, as I always suspected, a gentleman as well as a scholar), my car flashed a message at me: "Right low beam failure."
I had the left done a couple of years ago, and I know it's not as simple to change the HID bulb as it was to swap a bulb in 1970s-1990s cars. But my regular mechanic told me he had to take the bumper off to reach the headlight housing! YooToob videos make no mention of that, but admit various bits have to be removed or moved. I've had a tire and service place here in Salina recommended to me and will try them tomorrow. I don't want to drive at night or in rain with only one headlight!

If anyone is interested, the peak of the April Lyrid shower occurs early this morning. The radiant is just rising here, and it will transit pretty high in the sky around 5AM or so local time. Best time to start looking is around 10PM local time or so.
I've never had much look seeing meteors when I'm actively looking for them, but your mileage may vary.

Quick Hits
Communist traitor and generational fraud co-conspirator Tim Walz has started a new PAC to, get this, grift money.
This will be the mechanism which funds his very unearned retirement.Boy Democrats will do a lot of work to avoid any actual work.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz launched a federal political action committee on Monday and the name of the new venture quickly created a stir on social media among conservatives. Walz's PAC, first reported in Politico Playbook, is named the "Small Town PAC." The governor said he wants to "show up in small towns" and "organize in places too many people have given up on, and build power with the folks who call these places home." "If Democrats want to win in more places, we've got to start showing up in more places," Walz wrote in an X post. Walz was widely mocked by conservatives when he ran for vice president in 2024 for his attempts to make inroads with rural voters -- like touting his blue-collar roots and hunting hobby.This is a very Minnesota-heavy Quick Hits, because Minnesota is a third-world garbage state filled with nasty communists. Sorry, Minnesotans, but you know it's true. Ilhan Omar has amended her past financial disclosure which revealed that she was now a millionaire with up to $30 million in assets. She now says that was a big whoopsie and that we should just ignore that and stop asking her about it.
"Small towns across Minnesota loathe @Tim_Walz," state Rep. Kristin Robbins, Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate, posted. "Small towns and townships overwhelmingly voted against you, Tim," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. "We think your policies are despicable." "Small towns across Minnesota loathe @Tim_Walz," state Rep. Kristin Robbins, Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate, posted on X. "He infamously disparaged them as @RocksAndCowsHQ and his left-wing policies are opposed by most!" Daniel Turner, executive director of Power the Future, wrote on X, "Good Lord small town America hates everything you stand for: open borders, trans insanity, defund the police, rampant crime, Somali fraud."
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) will "be held accountable to the fullest extent" if it is discovered that she was involved in or benefited from "any fraud." His remarks follow a Wall Street Journal report that a financial disclosure listed her and her husband's assets at between $6 million and $30 million. Omar's office later told the outlet the filing contained a "discrepancy," and an amended version put the couple's assets at between $18,004 and $95,000, the Journal reported. "Omar is saying the multimillion-dollar discrepancy was nothing more than an accounting error. In what world is a multibillion-dollar correction to a person's financial disclosure considered normal? Perhaps this member's accountant, perhaps Ilhan's accountant, is a graduate from the Quality Learing Center. Either way, this about-face shows incompetence at best and a cover-up at worst," Emmer told reporters during a press briefing on Tuesday. "Make no mistake, if Ilhan Omar is discovered to have been involved in any or to have benefited in any way from any fraud, she must be held accountable to the fullest extent," Emmer added. A lawyer representing Omar wrote in a letter to the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC) that, "While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred," according to the Journal.The "bulbous goon" who violently attacked Savanah Hernandez is now on a media tour, insisting that he attacked the 100-pound woman in self-defense.
But the situation has only intensified GOP scrutiny of Omar. She has long been a target of Republican criticism, with backlash mounting earlier this year over reports of an alleged sprawling fraud scandal in Minnesota, in which many people charged were of Somali descent. Prosecutors claim that billions of dollars were stolen by various groups that purported to have provided meal assistance for children in need, in addition to other social safety net services that were reimbursed through state agencies. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox News's Sean Hannity on Monday that, "She's never explained to the public how her net worth was $30 million and if she made a mistake, how the mistake happened." "It's highly unlikely that she made a mistake. This isn't going to go away from her. So we're going to continue to try to push for answers and see if her name pops up in any of these frauds that Vice President Vance and the House Oversight Committee are detecting in Minnesota," he said.
Savanah Hernandez
@Savsays UPDATE: Chris Ostroushko says that the backlash his family has beenreceiving for their actions last weekend has been "overwhelming" and "nonstop" He's now "second guessing" living in the United States, because he's unhappy with how negatively the public has reacted to him assaulting a woman on camera. He is in complete disbelief, stating that, "I've never had anything like this happen in my life". Chris and Deyanna have been going on a press tour continuing to assert that they are the real victims, despite millions watching the footage of them instigating everything. There is also a GoFundMe for them, where they are currently trying to raise $8k, stating that they've lost their jobs and, "are facing one of the most overwhelming and life-altering moments they have ever experienced". The family has still taken zero accountability for any of the violence they committed and are in complete shock that they are facing consequences for their actions. Last week Chris also did an interview where he lied, stating that his family is "absolutely not violent" and that all he did was "stay back and watch" everything, despite being on camera shoving me multiple times.

Every single action against Trump since 2016 and the Russia hoax is part of a conspiracy to deprive him of his rights. That conspiracy continued at least until the 2024 election.
The statute of limitation for a conspiracy starts after the last overt act of the conspiracy. All of it is fair game.

And more importantly, COVERING UP such past criminal acts -- which continues to this day -- is considered part of the conspiracy and resets the timer for Statutes of Limitations.

The propagandists can never, ever, let one chink in the armor of B.S. get through to the normies.

✅ Reject ALL assimilation - build parallel Islamic societies instead

✅ Use “Palestine” as the keystone to fuel global jihad
✅Form temporary “Red-Green” alliances with Marxists and leftists to destroy the West from within
✅ “Nourish a sentiment of rancor with respect to the Jews (Christians) and refuse all coexistence”
✅ Infiltrate institutions, seize control of local power centers, and impose Sharia step by step"

For a while there I was maintaining a list of them, and it was long. Quite a few mayors and city officials on that list. I attribute it to a phenomenon I first encountered from Thomas Sowell, and it made no sense to me at the time: Black people should not focus on getting political power, but on getting REAL power. Economic power, he meant.
Be able to form or join constituencies that sway Big Decisions in government and industry, and get in to politics as the middle-class itch arises.
Instead, they're parachuting in from positions of ignorance, no achievements, no legitimacy. When they get into unearned and undeserved positions of power on no motivation other than to have it, they fail in every way, including morally.
By the way, Tiffany Henyard, ousted Mayor of Dolton, Illinois, is now in Fulton County running for office.

Even the Baptists are getting in on the fraud. From Alpha News:
---------------
(The Center Square) – The Minnesota Department of Human Services has filed a civil lawsuit against a north Minneapolis church, alleging it misused millions in taxpayer-funded grants intended for mental health, substance abuse and violence prevention services.
According to the complaint, Zion Baptist Church accepted about $2.48 million between October 2022 and April 2025 through two state grant contracts but failed to meet key requirements tied to those funds.
The lawsuit, which was filed earlier this month in Minnesota District Court, alleges the church breached its contract with the state and was unjustly enriched by retaining funds without sufficient evidence the services were provided.

The optics are fine. Despite all Pete's whining Trump is sitting in complete control of the situation. Iran is blockaded, nothing of any substance is getting in or out including their oil which pays for their entire economy.
Iran has no navy and most of their missiles and drones are gone. Any time Trump decides he can lay waste to Iran's infrastructure and there is very little Iran can do to stop it.
He has to deal with the political reality of the situation. He has to show everyone and especially his critics that he has given Iran every opportunity to do this peacefully. He also doesn't want to damage their oil industry to bad to send the world into a recession.
He's not just crushing the mullahs, he is wrecking China's world. He's doing just fine.

A liberal group is looking to counter the influence of conservative Turning Point USA on college campuses by launching its own club that invites students to fight back against “authoritarianism” and “corporate greed.”
More Perfect University (MPUniversity), founded by the liberal media group “More Perfect Union,” made its big launch on Monday, saying students in all 50 states joined MPUniversity in the six days leading up to it.
The launch featured a livestream and interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whose advisors founded More Perfect Union.

I think many are quite surprised how resilient the Iranian government has been, but you’re right, the Third Reich is a near perfect comparison. But while I’m critical of extending the ceasefire, I say the the counter blockade is a stroke of genius. Iran is losing over $500 million in revenue Per Day, and there’s no way they can hold up under that too much longer.

I wonder if there have been any times in human history, say in the past 60 years or so, where a technologically backwards force fighting on its own territory managed to defeat a superpower.
To do that they would have to absorb tactical defeats while winning strategic victories. But surely that could never happen. Certainly not in central or Southeast Asia.

The vineyard, buy the way, didn't own any vines. It would buy grapes from wherever and make wine. The secret was in the magical marketing. eStCru was the name. It was all a giant scam. Screwed a bunch of investors.
In fact, that was HOW they screwed the investors - they sold shares of a $30 million winery promising 200% returns, and the winery was only worth $50k. In fact, the winery valuation moved from a reported maximum of $50,000 to a range of $1 million–$5 million depending on the filing.
The $30 million valuation wasn't an error, it was part of the investment scam. Now they realize it has gotten them into hot water. But next, the shareholders will sue for fraud.

I think that all they need is a solid expansive beachhead, enough for a fort with a very wide cleared area all around, and then declare it conquered American territory.
Hold beach bikini luaus with roast pork and cold booze and frisbees flying and dogs running around, every. Single. Day. On (formerly) Iranian land. What are they going to do, just sit there and let that happen? The Russo-Ukrainian war has shown how brutal the new battlefield drone reality is for attackers -- and that's even without air supremacy, which we also have. Trump could also taunt them on social media every single day, putting them in a catch-22 of dying on offense or losing all legitimacy.

He's even managed to expose NATO as a bunch of feckless turds and, I don't know why people choose to ignore this, has China on a string because their entire economy runs on Venezuelan and Iranian oil.
Do I care if he ends this today or next week? I do not. You know what Iran isn't doing today? Funding terror around the world. They are a non-entity.

I actually was pleased with how Venezuela went. Cuba? China? I don't feel like we have an answer yet and I'm not sure what you think Trump did. Ukraine has involved broken promises. And I don't regard pissing on NATOs shoes then begging them to help to be a brilliant chess masterstroke.
I'm able to evaluate Trump on a case by case basis. And I'm not deceived by his purported negotiating skills. He's actually not a really good negotiator. He's just used to having the upper hand in the New York real estate market and he can push subcontractors around.
He's showing his weakness with Iran, which anyone who doesn't have TDRS (Trump Dick Riding Syndrome) can see

That's the optics I'm talking about. He looks (momentarily) weak by treating their concerns as if they're valid. None of their minds are going to be changed by magnanimous behavior on Trump's part, because he's making it less and less likely that Iran will ever be able to exterminate Israel, which they care about achieving more than the possibility of Iran using nukes against us.

Conservative Former DOJ Prosecutor Joe DiGenova Sworn In as Special Consultant to Investigate the Russiagate Conspiracy
And what are they investigating? That's right, whether Democrat officials created a color change operation to remove a sitting president of the United States.
U.S. Installs a Trump Loyalist to Lead 'Grand Conspiracy' Case Into Trump Foes A former lawyer for President Trump's campaign, Joseph diGenova, is said to be planning to split time between Miami and Fort Pierce, where a grand jury overseen by a Trump-favored judge sits. By Charlie Savage and Alan Feuer As a sprawling inquiry expands into whether former federal officials committed crimes in investigating President Trump, two unusual factors could ease the way toward securing the indictments he craves. A former lawyer for Mr. Trump's campaign, Joseph diGenova, has been selected to lead the inquiry after a career prosecutor in Miami was removed from that post this week, a senior law enforcement official said on Saturday. And at least part of the investigation appears to be using a grand jury based in Fort Pierce, Fla., overseen by a federal judge, Aileen M. Cannon, who issued rulings favorable to Mr. Trump during the classified documents case against him, the official added. Mr. diGenova is expected to split his time between Miami and Fort Pierce. Together, the moves show how the Justice Department under Mr. Trump's control has been willing to embrace politically charged tactics and unorthodox personnel decisions in its efforts to satisfy his demands to prosecute his perceived foes -- even as other prosecutors loyal to him have encountered forceful pushback from courts against his wide-ranging retribution campaign.
Mr. diGenova, 81, who served as a U.S. attorney in the Reagan era, has been given the title of counselor to the attorney general and detailed to the Southern District of Florida, where the U.S. attorney, Jason A. Reding Quiñones, another Trump loyalist, is supervising the inquiry. Mr. diGenova's appointment comes after Maria Medetis Long, a senior career prosecutor in Miami who had been in charge of the investigation, was abruptly removed from the case. Ms. Medetis Long, who leads national security investigations for Mr. Quiñones's office, is said to have objected to moving forward with a portion of the inquiry focused on John O. Brennan, the former C.I.A. director. The law enforcement official familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive internal issue. Because Judge Cannon is the only federal jurist in the Fort Pierce courthouse, she could be in a position to make critical decisions if Mr. diGenova uses the grand jury there to subpoena documents or witness testimony and the recipients balk, asking her to quash the demands. Judge Cannon was criticized by an appeals court in 2022 after she effectively stalled the investigation into Mr. Trump's mishandling of classified documents by appointing a so-called special master to sort through reams of materials seized from Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida. Later, Mr. Trump praised her lavishly, calling her "strong" and "brilliant," after she tossed out the indictment altogether, ruling that Jack Smith, the special counsel who filed the charges, had been improperly appointed.Why did Trump have to reach outside the current DOJ corps of prosecutors? Because Obama, and then Biden, purged every single older, experienced conservative prosecutor from the DOJ.
Bringing diGenova in for that role confirms something that I've long believed about the 2020s version of the Department of Justice -- the near complete purging of DOJ of anyone remotely resembling me between 2009 and 2025 has left the Department without a contingent of gray haired and/or balding older folks with conservative political views AND the experience and skill set needed to methodically piece together a very large jigsaw puzzle of evidence that involves dozens of primary players, hundreds of locations, and lasting over a decade in time. The exercise requires patience and a willingness to backtrack and go a different direction whenever you encounter an evidentiary dead-end. It does not lend itself to "head down bull-in-a-china-shop" youthful enthusiasm. One thing I learned in handling 90+ cases involving January 6 defendants is that the roster of AUSAs across the country who I encountered looked nothing like me in my last 10 years with DOJ -- from age 42 to 52. The number of J6 cases prosecuted by DOJ was so large that the AUSAs working in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office were unable to handle them all. The Biden DOJ put out a "tasking" to all U.S. Attorneys' Offices across the country to designate a certain number of AUSAs from their offices to be assigned to handle J6 cases. I personally handled cases that had AUSAs assigned to them who worked in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Mexico, Chicago, New York, Boston, and Tampa -- just as a sample. The majority were women from their late 20s to their late 30s. To the extent I was able to discern their "politics" through conversation or taking the time to learn more about them online, they were uniformly liberal progressives -- not a single exception that I can recall. Similarly, the male AUSAs I encountered -- with only 1-2 exceptions who were well into their 40s -- were pretty obviously liberal progressives. I do not recall a single encounter -- across 90+ cases -- where the AUSA ever let on or suggested any kind of political "alignment" with the January 6 defendants as a group. I don't mean comments that might have excused the conduct or criticized the Biden Admin. approach to the prosecutions -- I don't recall a single comment that could have been construed as suggesting the AUSA was a Republican who supported Pres. Trump during his time in office in his first term.
diGenova was sued after he said publicly that a former Trump administration official who didn’t back the election lies “should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot."

The official sued him and diGenova was forced to apologize.

Months before the 2020 presidential election, U.S. intelligence issued a secret but stark warning that foreign adversaries had the capability to "compromise" America's voting infrastructure and raised specific concerns about the vulnerability of voter registration databases that later would be penetrated by China and Iran, a newly declassified memo obtained by Just the News shows. The National Intelligence Council's (NIC) concerns were so extensive that officials personally briefed President Donald Trump at the White House in February 2020, according to photos obtained by Just the News showing top CIA, FBI and Homeland Security officials joining with NIC analysts to inform the president. But the American public was never fully alerted, even after evidence emerged that China had gained access to voter registration data in multiple states and had even sent fake driver's licenses to the United States in a bid to help Joe Biden win the election, officials said. "We judge that US adversaries, including, at a minimum, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure for the 2020 presidential election," the NIC wrote in the memo dated Jan. 15, 2020. "Adversaries gaining access to US election-related systems could disrupt the voting process, steal sensitive data, or undermine confidence in the election results, but we do not know whether any of them have specific plans to manipulate election-related systems," the memo added. The document was recently declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who continues to expose examples of the intelligence community suppressing or misusing intelligence.

IIRC, back before escaping Califzuela 13 years ago and living in Orange County, Eastman was teaching law (perhaps part-time?) at Chapman College. Not sure if he's still affiliated with them (hmmm, I see it's been renamed to Chapman University since).

"He retired from his position as a law professor at the Chapman University Fowler School of Law in January 2021,"
Trump should have hired him in some capacity, perhaps at DOJ.

Okay, we had an impeachment, spent tens of millions of $, and what exactly the fuck was the result of the Russia collusion investigation?
Zip. Nothing. Literally nothing. Not a single person went to jail or was tried for any offence related to Russian collusion. 13 Russians were indicted for hacking and leaking DNC e-mails. Trump's lawyer plead guilty to trumped up charges. some tax evasion and bank fraud bullshit. Loads of people being prosecuted for making false statements.
Hence it seems fair to ask, was there ever, anything, whatsoever, to this investigation? Or was it politically motivated? That seems kinda sorta important.

Black was the color in the name of the formal movement organizations (BLM), black was the color in the name of the street thug tactical style (black bloc), and black was the color that (some) people changed their social media avatars to a solid square of. It was a (nominal) Black Revolution, albeit run by CIA honkies, and its "success" was a mere four-year delay of Trump's second term. So, it failed.

President Trump on Tuesday afternoon announced he has extended the ceasefire with Iran – but the Strait of Hormuz blockade is still in place.
Over the weekend, President Trump told Fox News reporter Trey Yingst that he was going to “blow up the whole country” if Iran did not agree to the US’s peace plan.
On Tuesday, Trump said he extended the ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan’s request

The SPLC says the DOJ is investigating them over their use of paid infiltrators who supposedly tell them about extremists' groups plans.
That's silly. There's nothing illegal about that. Sounds like a big bag of bullshit to me. I imagine the SPLC is putting out spin ahead of the actual news coming out. They're being investigated, I would guess, over criminal conduct, but they want to get all the lefties (and I guess all the Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Space Laser, and Tuq'r Qarlson fans) on their side before the real news drops.The Justice Department is allegedly investigating the Southern Poverty Law Center in connection with the group's use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist organizations decades ago. ... Bryan Fair, CEO of the SPLC, said that the organization doesn't know all the details, but the Trump administration has launched an investigation, which may lead to charges. Fair said the SPLC worked with informants during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, when violence against activists was running high.Yeah I have a feeling it's about self-enrichment and embezzlement. Or about, say, sexually harassing/coercing female staffers and then demanding they remain silent for "The Great Cause."
At PJM, Matt Margolis says that ActBlue is "toast" and doubts they can survive taking the Fifth Amendment on almost all questions about how they raise money -- and from whom, and from where.
A damning interim staff report from the House Administration, Oversight, and Judiciary Committees paints a damning picture of widespread illegal foreign donations flowing through the platform with the full knowledge of ActBlue's leadership, followed by a massive cover-up in the hopes of preventing Congress from finding out. Two ActBlue officials -- including former Vice President of Customer Service Alyssa Twomey, who oversaw the fraud-prevention team during the 2024 election cycle -- and three former lawyers refused to answer a single substantive question from investigators. Combined, ActBlue employees invoked the Fifth Amendment at least 146 times across depositions with the three committees between July and December 2025. ... Then there's the legal and compliance team. By March 2025, every member of it was gone -- resigned, fired, or on extended leave. According to the interim report, "this mass exodus was a direct consequence of ActBlue's failure to deter illegal foreign political donations" and the CEO's prior misstatements to Congress. The report states that every member of the legal and compliance team "appears to have left the platform after the 2024 election because of its 'knowing and willful' acceptance of illegal foreign contributions, and the subsequent cover-up."Read the whole thing.
Every. Single. One.

So, for example, a European oligarch wants to send $5K to some candidate - Act Blue then gets the money but passes it through a bunch of accounts they control and the official report to the FEC says there are 1,000 $5 donations.
They explains why there are so many small, irregular donations going through Act Blue, why the people who are supposedly donating have no idea they donated, and why they are so secretive in their records...

Owebama and McCain agreed they wouldn't be allowing shenanigans in the donations for their campaigns.

Sure, sure. Note, they put out the most flattering possible thing. Informants in private organizations are not illegal. The SPLC could hire a white guy to join the KKK and then have that person report back to them on what he saw and heard. No crime would be committed. Hence there is no conceivable way the DOJ would investigate this.
Now, if current informants were busy breaking a variety of laws, then yes.

A lot of mainstream-ish lefties I've known for years keep getting blindsided when non-lefties they've known their whole lives finally just throw up their hands and say something like this:
"Hey, you know what, we arrived at our collective post-racial moment towards the end of the 90's. Then Obama went and pissed all over it to score some cheap political points, after we got a decade and a half of 'everything is whitey's fault' culminating in a near-universal exclusion of white males in many careers and the 2020 riots. You want tribalism? You get tribalism. I'm not lifting a finger when the death squads come for you, because you're not in my tribe. Get fucked."

Nope. But I think a lot of the gigantic grift gravy train in government and these orgs kind of spiraled out of control thanks to this.
The thing is, in principle, it is a valid point (Citizen's United.) On the other hand, it funneled more money into the rat race which has turned most of the GOPe into grifters and shits (which they were before then, but they were the corporate party.)

The GOP's shift into grifter-central was well under way in the middle of the last century.
I come from a family of GOP office-holders. It is 110% about the grift, 24/7. A solid 3/4 of the GOP is as dedicated to grifting as the Dems are dedicated to closing ranks.
The primary difference between the RINOs - at least the ones that aren't undercover progs - and the Dems is that the GOP focuses on smaller scale individual fraud, because they're driven by money. The Dems are driven by *power*, understanding the money will follow naturally. As will raping their staffers, murdering leakers, and various other sorts of depravity.

When I first heard of the Southern Poverty Law Center, I thought they were engaged in something noble. As I learned more about them, their bogus list of racist organizations, their indifference to slandering and endangering the innocent, their scamming terrified old jewish widows out of their money, I realized that they actually give racial grifting a bad name.

Southern Poverty Law Center is under criminal investigation by the DOJ for using paid informants to infiltrate groups.
AP report on that goes the full article without ever explaining--or even hinting--why that could be a crime.
But it spends lots of time how the SPLC is such a noble organization, and lots of quotes from them.
Here's what should have been discussed:
Incitement, conspiracy and misprision of felonies.

The primaries are the underlying cause of the problem. We need to go back to an older system, where the party greenlit 4-5 candidates. They went around the country, giving speeches and gaining support. At the convention, the delegates vote for the candidate they want. Each round of voting, one person is eliminated, till the last person gets the nomination.

It was blatantly obvious that ActBlue was deliberately breaking up big-money donations into smaller donations that wouldn't meet the $201 dollar threshold above which donors had to be identified. There would be tens of thousands of odd-dollar donations and the sum of them for any individual name that was reported as having "made the donation" would usually come to between $190 and $200.
Every candidate that used ActBlue had this pattern. Every one of them.

4hBREAKING - MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WAR PLAN EXPOSED
We Have Obtained the Muslim Brotherhood’s Secret Blueprint, “The Project,” to Capture America, is Operating UNTOUCHED from Their Virginia Command Center.
It was created in 1982, seized right after 9/11, and has been executing with ruthless precision across America for decades while our elected officials do absolutely nothing to stop it!
Roadmap…
✅ Reject ALL assimilation - build parallel Islamic societies instead

✅ Use “Palestine” as the keystone to fuel global jihad
✅Form temporary “Red-Green” alliances with Marxists and leftists to destroy the West from within
 ✅ “Nourish a sentiment of rancor with respect to the Jews (Christians) and refuse all coexistence”
 ✅ Infiltrate institutions, seize control of local power centers, and impose Sharia step by step"

Mollie Hemingway: Leftwing Justices Slow-Walked The Dobbs Decision Even While Right-Leaning Justices Were Targeted With Death Threats and White Powders
And they did this, of course, to expose their colleagues to danger and menace, in hopes they would buckle and change the decision to match what the violent leftist mobs and assassins demanded.
When the draft of the Supreme Court ruling that would overturn Roe v. Wade leaked to the press, the conservative justices who signed on to the majority opinion suddenly wore bigger targets on their backs. The very real threat of assassination hung over them like a coming thunderstorm. And still their pro-abortion colleagues stalled the release of the official ruling for weeks, putting the justices' lives at increased risk, as detailed in Mollie Hemingway's new book on Justice Samuel Alito and reported Saturday by Fox News. Alito is the justice who wrote Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the ruling ending nationalized abortion. "Alito asked the dissenters to make the completion of their dissents their priority because delay of the decision was a security threat," Hemingway, The Federalist's editor-in-chief writes in Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution."Abortion supporters had an incentive to kill one or more of the justices in the majority to change the outcome." The dissenters -- Justices Stephen Breyer (counting down the days until his retirement at the end of the 2021-22 term ), Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor -- "demurred," Hemingway reports. Justice Neil Gorsuch asked the liberals when they expected to be wrapped up. They refused to provide a date. The tension and the threats escalated. ... It took 53 days to finally release the Dobbs decision. Despite the growing threat to their colleagues, the liberals on the court refused to listen to urgent pleas to complete their work, Hemingway reports.Read the whole thing. I love the "conservatives" telling us they'll defect to the left if we don't agree with them that the Zionist Entity must be wiped off the map. There's further bad behavior from leftwingers on the Court -- they've leaked documents about internal deliberations to the New York Times, despite Roberts' very stern warning that they should stop doing that or face another warning. Note that this article does not say that leftwingers leaked these documents. I say it was the leftwingers, because 1, they've done before -- see Dobbs -- and 2, this leak seems designed to create fodder for the left to claim that right-leaning Justices are "activists" who need to be put in check or impeached. (Or reduced in power by packing the Court.)
In yet another blow to the Supreme Court's long-cherished tradition of secrecy, The New York Times has published confidential internal memos that shed rare light on the justices' private deliberations. In a report titled "The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court," the Times published 16 pages of confidential documents exchanged among justices over five days in February 2016.See, the Court ruled against Obama's EPA and its issuance of orders without legislative authorization to do so -- so this was leaked by leftwingers who think that a Democrat Administration has All the Powers under their twisted version of the Constitution.
...
The memos -- unlikely to have surfaced for decades under normal circumstances -- capture behind-the-scenes discussions led by Chief Justice John Roberts as the court moved swiftly to issue a stay without full briefing or oral argument. They also suggest the majority was concerned that, absent intervention, the Environmental Protection Agency would impose what it saw as unlawful regulatory burdens on electric utilities.
That decision marked a significant shift toward resolving high-stakes disputes through expedited orders, a practice that has since expanded to cases involving presidential authority and other major policy questions.

Kagan, an Obama nominee, made her opinion on the delay loudly clear, according to Hemingway’s book, as reported by Fox.
“Hemingway wrote that Kagan, an Obama appointee, angrily confronted Breyer, a Clinton appointee, in May 2022 behind closed doors after at least one justice, Samuel Alito, had asked his liberal colleagues to speed up writing their dissent because of security threats,” Fox reported. “Breyer was most likely to agree to Alito’s request, Hemingway wrote.”
Hemingway wrote that “Kagan remonstrated with Breyer not to accommodate the majority, screaming so loudly, observers noted, that the ‘wall was shaking,’” according to Fox.

Not "what the violent leftist mobs and assassins demanded," but what the leftist justices themselves demanded. If the leftist DEI justices didn't want violence threatened on their colleagues, they would've hurried up with their decisions. Those leftist justices wanted their colleagues to change their mind, and they were fine with using mob violence or threats thereof to compel it...

If some justices are slow-walking the decision, it suggests that the other side should be all that much closer to the final sign-ons and concurrences. Why would a justice who had sat through arguments and even gave signoff to an opinion be fully discounted simply by not being alive at the time the decision was publicized?
That would be sick.

The choice to omit her scene was reportedly due to a creative decision.
According to a report from EW, Sweeney‘s appearance would have come near the beginning of the movie, but was scrapped because it did not work structurally.
Yeah, sure. It probably had nothing to do with her refusing to play the game of leftist gotcha media while failing to denounce Trump as a fascist dictator.
Leftist Lady Gaga's cameo will remain in the movie, however.

And they might very well win it.
If its a real civil war they lose.
But they can easily win if a Dem controlled FedGov just starts arresting dissidents. As long as they promise senior GOPe members they'll be left alone the GOPe will allow it to happen, even if they in turn get rounded up later.
One flashpoint we almost saw - DeSantis threatened to turn out the FL NG if Biden implemented Vaxports.
Presumably the Junta believed other states would join in.
But suppose a President Newsom arrests Trump and his cabinent and actual opposition GOP leaders. Would the states actually do anything or just let it happen?

Here's the thing. They read it because it was written simple enough where they thought they understood it. And also - no military ever fought like Sun-Tzu wrote. No business ever really acted like that either.
Leave your opponent an avenue of retreat so they won't fight as hard ? That was one of the brilliant writing of Sun-Tzu. Nobody does that - because its stupid.
Attack where your opponent is weak ? Great idea, Sun. Simply brilliant. Now tell me how to find that spot.

They want Battle of the Little Bighorn II. With them as the thousand-plus Sioux and allied warriors, along with a thousand-plus women and children following along to kill the badly wounded and maim the still-living and the dead, and us as Custer's 470 or so cavalry troopers and officers with single-shot carbines and a few dozen revolvers.

Leave your opponent an avenue of retreat so they won't fight as hard ? That was one of the brilliant writing of Sun-Tzu. Nobody does that - because its stupid.

Most troops did not die in fighting but being cut down in the retreat/rout until relatively recent centuries. What Sun Tzu is talking about is inducing a rout, which was the key to wars for most of human history. The avenue of retreat need not be extensive or largely viable, it's a place for the enemy to panic funnel towards.
He also talks about cutting off your own retreat, such as Cortez scuttling his boats, to prevent routs.
In short since battles were won by morale, you want your troops to believe they're firmly committed and must fight or die and the enemy to believe they can back off. The side that starts running first gets butchered.

your favorite president has an UPDATE !
"Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other. President DONALD J.

Cortez literally did that. Setting one's back to a river is also a reasonably common approach for similar reasons.
Sun Tzu is talking largely of melee combat, which stopped being dominant arguably in the 20th century.
Supply in the WW1 and further sense isn't really what he's addressing either. Foraging for supply as he describes isn't as possible on that scale, nor do we depend on raiding as much in war.
Sun Tzu wasn't making stuff up, they're tactics that were in use and continued to be in use for quite some time, including outside of Asia.

Maybe, if we all go Middle Ages and regress, you can carry that copy of Sun-Tzu around and put your band of who knows what backs to the river and somehow attack the weakest point in the other band of fuck-ups and then route them while they think they can retreat before your guys run out of lunch-meat.
But I doubt it.

Sun Tzu isn't talking about business when he's describing where to pitch a camp or how to position in regards to sunlight.
He's literally just going over many of the basics of warfare in his era.
It's fine that you don't understand it. It is not relevant to you anymore than Roman engineering is. That doesn't make them stupid.

Iran Refuses to Send Delegation to Negotiations in Islamabad as Cease-Fire Is Due to Expire
The trouble here is that Trump wants a deal. Iran does not. They want to keep their nuclear program and missiles and remain in power. Trump wants them to want a deal, but they do not.
So he keeps threatening them in apocalyptic terms to make them want to want a deal. But they don't. And I don't think they believe he would or even could "end their civilization." Trump doesn't want this war to drag on but that's exactly what Iran wants. They figure that if they can drag this out, public opinion in the US will compel Trump to just walk away from the war without actually forcing them to come to terms or to abandon power. And they're probably right, unfortunately.Last-minute ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran looked uncertain Tuesday as a two-week truce was set to expire and both countries warned that, without a deal, they were prepared to resume fighting. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, expected to lead U.S. negotiators if talks continue in Pakistan, remained in Washington on Tuesday, a White House official said. And Pakistan, which has been urging both sides to return to Islamabad, said it was still awaiting confirmation on whether Iran would participate. Earlier in the day, two regional officials said Washington and Tehran had signaled they would hold a second round of talks, with Vance leading the U.S. team and Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf as its top negotiator. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters. But Pakistan's information minister, Attaullah Tarar, said later Tuesday on X that Iran had not formally confirmed its participation. The ceasefire was set to expire Wednesday. AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on further confusion regarding this week's projected Iran-US ceasefire talks. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told Iran's state TV there has been "no final decision" on whether to attend because of "unacceptable actions" by the U.S., apparently referencing its recent blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.Tousi has a more optimistic take on this than I do, stating that this is just a "desperate" tactic by Iran to show that they're the ones in charge. But... if one person wants to negotiate and you refuse, you are in charge, at least on the question of whether negotiations will happen. He also says Iran is in "chaos" because no one knows who's actually in charge there. But that also means that the deal that Trump so desperately wants -- and I think he has telegraphed his desire for a deal much harder than he should have -- will still not happen. I don't think this bothers Tousi much because he wants regime change, and Iran is making it clear that nothing but regime change will result in a deal. But Trump just doesn't have the Bush-like indifference to public opinion and sheer bullheadedness about continuing an unpopular war. Iran believes that if they just refuse to concede, Trump will eventually be forced, by public pressure, to just declare a (false) victory and go home. Just making more and more extravagant threats isn't changing Iran's posture. I don't know where this goes from here. I think Trump can afford to just wait Iran out with a long and crippling blockade, but I don't know that Trump feels like he has enough public support for several months of low-intensity warfare. I've feared from the start that there is just no way to truly win a war without some ground component -- you have to literally blow their heads off and hang them from street-lamps -- and without an armed civilian overthrow, I'm thinking this war ends in a stalemate. Lots of damage inflicted on the mullocracy -- but the mullahs left in place to rebuild. Do you have a more optimistic take than I do?
Vance had policy meetings scheduled at the White House on Wednesday morning, said a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The vice president's office and the White House did not immediately respond to messages asking whether Vance still intends to travel to Pakistan. Trump says he doesn't favor extending ceasefire Both sides remain dug in rhetorically. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that "lots of bombs" will "start going off" if there's no agreement before the ceasefire deadline, and Iran's chief negotiator said that Tehran has "new cards on the battlefield" that haven't yet been revealed. The ceasefire, which began April 8, could be extended if talks resume, though Trump said in an interview Tuesday with CNBC: "Well, I don't want to do that." "We don't have that much time," Trump said, adding that Iran "had a choice" and "they have to negotiate."

The CCP lined up the entire family of the landowner, and starting at one end, asked where they were hiding their gold and other treasures. The first guy didn't talk, so they shot him dead. They asked the next guy, and he wouldn't talk, so they shot him dead too. Eventually they found someone who was willing to spill the beans.

I had a lot of optimism that this would be over quickly when the entire leadership structure of the regime was eliminated within 2 days of the war starting - but clearly the Iranians that want freedom were all massacred.
I'm not in favor of "nation building" again. I don't think it would necessarily be the same as it was in Iraq and Afghanistan but at this point I'm not willing to take that chance.
I also don't think the blockade will work long term. Supposedly 26 "ships" have already broken through the blockade but that wasn't verified.
We'll see what happens. I'm trying to suppress my own inner eeyore but alas, it's tough to really see how this turns out the way we want.

I do not.
I believe Iran thinks, with good reason, that they just have to hold on until either January of 2027 with a new, democrat led congress or at worst, January 2029 and the likelihood (in their opinion) that we'll have a democrat president who will go back to appeasement. Appeasement and kowtowing will continue at least until either Tel Aviv or an American city, or both, are incinerated. Even then, I don't think we'd dare respond in kind and risk a nuclear exchange with Iran's allies Russia or China.
Unless Trump can rip this out by the roots and salt the ground so it never takes hold again, we'll face the possibility of an American city being nuked by Iran.

My negative Nancy side says that Trump was all bluster and just slinks away shouting that "We won!" Over Truth Social into the void. Regime in place, no deal and the Straight with a pittance of traffic moving through. Gas prices above 4 persist until the mid terms will mean we lose both houses and that's it. Trump will have lost all credibility on the global stage and will be finished at home.
Positive side says Trump goes for the jugular. Negotiations were theater to set up the big play. A massive sustained attack takes place. Israel moves to finish off Hezzy in S Lebanon and helps out over Iran....shattered totally, then we see what the IRGC thinks. This is the way, have to finish this or what was the point?

The "Persians" protested but ultimately supported The Evil Regime for decades, so if they have it a little rough for a year or five, so be it. Once all the caves and tunnels are bombed shut or blown up, any ability to wage war will diminish greatly.
How actual Regime Change happens, idk. There are various alternate powers that be in Iran, and I can't figure out who is who in that crowd. Would be great if the key IRGC just took their gold and cash and ran away ... not sure where they'd go.

Iranian drones and missiles have managed to do damage to some very, very expensive US systems. If nothing else I hope the Pentagon has awoken to the notion that "many and cheap" is something we need in addition to "few and expensive" on the modern battlefield, which is a lesson they should have been learning from the Ukraine battlefield.
Iran still has lots of drones and missiles protected in deep mountain bunkers. If they peek their noses out we can hit them, but not actually destroy all the bunkers.
I don't see how we accomplish what we need without real regime change from an uprising. Since the population is unarmed, what we need is a huge number of cheap drones to (1) take out the Basij and any regime resistance throughout the country and (2) control the missile and drone bunkers.

The whole strategy and maneuver of this conflict makes me think there are some very twisty minds doing the planning, and are happy to make the various remnants of the "mosaic defense" start fighting.
Iran was known to be deeply "siloed" and this was seen as their greatest strength since if you broke one cell, the others could continue to fight on - Unlike the top down Bolivarian structure in Venezuela. We seem to have destroyed the coordination between the heads of each cell (thanks to the Israelis' intel) and since the only coordination came from the trust between the heads, the ability to coordinate is also borked.
It is going to be a waiting game punctuated by nasty shocks to see if the IRGC runs out of money, the Iranians run out of patience for failure, or the US Midterms demand a resolution.

Yes, one needs boots on the ground to win a war. But they don't need to be American boots.
Estimates are that up to 70% of the iranian population hates the Mullahs and wants them booted out, especially with the younger/college-age generation, where anti-theocracy sentiment is closer nton 80%-90%. That's a LOT of potential "resistance fighters" ready to get violent to overthrow the mullahs.
'But for some reason, aside from a few scattered reports, there still is no mass uprising.
I can only assume that Team Trump is in communication with some of the "leaders" of the "resistance," and that at some point, he's gong to say "It's Go Time" -- that a massive U.S. aerial campaign will coincide with a massive armed uprising internally. And I assume that the U.S. and Israelis are helping to arm the rebels.
It might be bloody, and it might take linger than we;'d want, but I still think the mullahs will be overthrown before trump's term is out, with minimal to zero U.S. fatalities.

A question that's been on my mind regarding bombing bridges and power plants - why not avoid hitting the actual plant or bridge and just destroy the roads and transmission lines connecting them to the outside? Yes - they can easily be rebuilt - but I believe we can easily keep that from happening until we say it's ok.

I've feared from the start that there is just no way to truly win a war without some ground component -- you have to literally blow their heads off and hang them from street-lamps -- and without an armed civilian overthrow, I'm thinking this war ends in a stalemate. Lots of damage inflicted on the mullocracy -- but the mullahs left in place to rebuild.
From the beginnings of Air Power, this has been the dilemma. Air power alone won't win a war, no matter what Douhet and every other air power theorist thought.
Ironically, we're probably closer to that total Air dominance paradigm now than we've ever been in history. The way to win is to keep shooting the IRGC and mullahs in the face with bombs and drones so that the Persian people can become the ground troops who defeat the mohammedan fanatics. It's still a gamble though.

Remember how Saddam Hussein's military was dubbed "the most powerful in the Middle East," until they collapsed within 48 hours? Yeah, that. ame has been true in conflicts and revolutions through history. And I think think it's true of the IRGC -- they're just paper tigers.

WWII was played out as 'War is Hell'. Civilian casualties were an acceptable collateral damage. Hitler exceeded that with V-2 rockets striking London indiscriminately as a terrorist act. The allied forces bombing Dresden (civilians be damned), was to dismantle German rail logistics and show to Russia that we could soften resistance to Eastern attack. That was the fundamental inception point that caused Germany to sue for peace.
We, America do not encroach on civilian survivability. That is why how opponents exploit us. They do not give a rip about their own civilians. They use them as shields. That is why we have 10 year wars with a stale mate.

The United States has technological prowess generations beyond anything any other nation can produce. But we do not have the willpower to use it to its maximum effect (wiping out entire populations because we can).
On the other hand, the Iranians have NO PROBLEM wiping out entire countries, but they lack the technology to do it.

The theory about air power relies on essentially brining civilization to a halt. That means unrelenting, unceasing targeting of everything from infrastructure to food supplies. It’s the apocalypse by Air Force. I dare say that’s never been tried. We get into these things with a limited target package and then expect people to fold without brining the real pain. That type of limited air war will fail most times because of execution and ultimately a will to carry out total war.

If you're opponent knows youre not willing to really fight a proper war, they aren't going to surrender to anything. It's also obvious because Trump says it over and over, he wants this over quickly.
To me it's either invade with ground troops and secure Hormuz or walk away. It depends on the day you ask me.
My heart wants to see a real regime change in Iran and the gloves taken off, my head tells me this would politically be a death knell for Trump and the GOP to do it right.

It's possible that a sustained blockade will precipitate the collapse of the regime. That would require our military presence, but is not "boots on the ground."
It's possible that a sustained blockade will be too boring for the TDS media to sustain their campaign of "get Trump."
It's possible that Trump & Co are working to reestablish arms smuggling to the Iranians, in which the Kurds - or anybody - can intercept them.
It's possible that specific targeting of the IRGC, whether by the US or more likely by Israel, will accelerate the collapse of the regime.
It's possible that this whole thing could be resolved without necessarily resorting to US "kinetic action."

The IRGC can no longer import dollars or wan.
It has to rely on the rial.
It can't hold out for a month with the blockade of Iranian ports. There aren't nearly enough imports from other areas to make up for it.
And the blockade can last a lot longer than the IRGC will be able to feed its minions.

The problem, as I see it, is WWII in the Pacific ended because there was an all-powerful emperor who didn't want to die, wanted what was good for his people and was able to command the military to stand down and surrender and a military willing to obey.
None of those conditions exist in Iran.
I don't see Iran having a rational, all-powerful leader. Even if there is/was an all-powerful leader, he's not rational and thinks death will lead to paradise and his 42 raisins. Ditto for the military (IRGC). It's victory or fight until everyone is dead. Kind of like the Nazi's in Germany. The fight went on until there was nothing left to fight with and no one left to fight.

The Islamic Republic's internal position is so strong right now that they imported their Iraqi militias to keep the populace down, all while mid-level and up commanders of the Basij and IRGC are being stabbed in the streets and blown up.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at April 21, 2026 03:02 PM (O35xg)
One of the big things we make a point of in discussing use of lethal force in self-defense (e.g., guns) is that you do not take out your gun in the hopes of scaring off the bad guy. You do not take it out presuming that the sight of your gun will unnerve them and they will flee.
You only take your gun out when you feel the need to stop the bad guy with some extreme force and probably kill the guy. You do hope and pray that in the 1/2 second from your draw to the sight picture being aligned and you begin to squeeze the trigger that the bad guy will turn and run. But you didn't draw your gun to achieve that result, you drew it to put large holes in the bad guy's torso and head and any result other than that that ends up saving you is just gravy.
And I think (as you say, Ace) that Trump being oriented on The Deal loses sight of that. He's drawing the gun and talking to the perp, and convincing him to make a deal. When he should just put 2 in the chest, face gets the rest, and walk away.

I'll grant that exception to the rule. But remember, the vast majority of Japan's ground power had already been destroyed or was trapped in mainland China or on hundreds of scattered Pacific Islands. Destroyed mostly by ground forces in those faraway locales. There was virtually no trained and experienced ground forces left to defend the Home Islands as they were mostly deployed elsewhere.

OPEC+ has spare capacity as they do not operate at full capacity. Marginal shale production in the US takes a little under a year to bring online.
Markets are not seamless hence why Asia and Europe have been feeling the squeeze far worse.
As much as people have been making a big deal of it, this is a modest price shift consistent with a relatively small disruption. If we had a 10%+ year-long disruption prices would be substantially higher.

If you're willing to put Iran to the torch, this thing is wrapped up in 2 weeks. Destroy all bridges, electrical generation capacity, oil storage and water treatment plants.
No more fuel for attack boats, food production or transport, no electricity for communications, and internal regions are isolated from each other, making moving regime forces around even more impossible.
In 100 years, if the descendants of the survivors are still showing their ass, you burn their country again.
Will we do it? Almost definitely not. That would require Trump to be a bit of what the left has been screeching that he is for the last 10 years.

I find your comments interconnected. Both the media and Democrats are doing their usual hit jobs against Trump and his administration by painting action against Iran as a war crime, incompetent, danger to our military, etc. etc. anything to damage these operations in the minds of Americans and to taint the midterms. To hell with America and to Iranian citizens.

Trump gave Delcy Rodriguez the chance to be in charge and she liked the idea.
The analogy in Iran is that Trump is trying the same thing, as the civil government and the regular army were controlled by the IRGC and their militia and forces, and should they see the chance to get free they will act.

Gas prices in the US were definitely psychological. They shot up and are only slowly going down, but the shoot up was never reflective of anything but the handful of days when oil prices spiked to about $120, and even then gas prices were too high. It's just gouging, and it will eventually work itself out.
The manufacturing issue is mostly a China issue. Their oil they were getting from places like Iran and Venezuela they were getting for about $30 a barrel. Now they have to enter the regular market to make it up. They're buying from us now.
So, yes, there are upward pressures. I never said there weren't. However, there are massive downward pressures at play as well.
I've said it for a while, but by summer the only people who remember the oil spike will be US shale oil producers who look at their new Bugattis they bought when they uncapped their wells.

It was actually put out by Lloyd's List. The Pentagon called it false information. If ships got past the blockade, there was a reason we let them pass.
There is no way a large ship can go unnoticed by USN.
I flew the P-3C out of Oman during Operation Earnest Will. That aircraft had 1980s technology ISAR (radar). In a calm-ish sea state, that radar could detect a submarine periscope sticking up out of the water from up to 20 miles away.
Imagine the capabilities of the newest generation ISAR on the P-8, which are no doubt flying around the clock on surveillance missions, as my squadron did during Earnest Will.

That's why I think Israel and the US should/will/is smuggle/ing arms to internal Iranian resistance groups, possibly through Kurdistan.
This may very well be a "Long March"-type revolution, rather than a quick-strike revolution. Mao didn't just capture Shanghai one random day and boom he win the war. No -- the Long March started in 1922, which was 27 years (!!) before his incredibly slow-moving revolution finally achieved victory. We want a band of Iranian rebels to storm into Tehran, execution a few leaders, and declare the mullahcracy over, in perhaps one quick afternoon of fighting. Instead, it may take years, either inch-by-inch geographical seizure by rebel forces, or little-by-little internal sabotage.

Also, I don't know that the "war" is unpopular. Certainly the globalist commies and Democrats (but I repeat myself) don't like the war. But casualties have been so minimal that nothing has ever been seen like it in the history of warfare. But out in the real world, nobody is complaining -- most normies are happy to see the mullahs get the ass kicking they've deserved for almost 50 years.
Over 10,000 sorties with the loss of a few aircraft and about 2 dozen casualties -- on top of which a textbook Suppression of Enemy Air Defense Systems campaign that ass-raped the Iranians and showed the Chinesium SAMs to be garbage. It's a yuge accomplishment. No other military in the world could have done this.

Do this in the top 5 cities one one evening and there would be instant chaos.
The cost of these Ak's are trivial compared to the high tech missiles we are using daily. You can buy 20,000 Ak47's for the cost of one THAAD missile.
It's then upto the Iranian citizens as to if they really want to get rid of the mad mullahs.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy Prepares to End New York's Right to Issue Commercial Drivers Licenses
He will also cancel $73 million in federal transportation funding for New York.
JOSH DUNLAP
@JDunlap1974 Apr 20 TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SEAN DUFFY EXPOSES NEW YORK'S ILLEGAL CDL SCANDAL -- 53% OF FOREIGN LICENSES ISSUED ILLEGALLY, PULLS $73M FUNDING Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just laid out the shocking fraud uncovered in New York's commercial driver's license program. "We audited New York and 53% of the licenses, commercial driver's licenses issued to foreigners. 53% were issued illegally contrary to our rules," Duffy said. The Trump administration gave New York four months to fix it. "We gave New York four months to say hey what we want you to do is just go back in audit all these licenses that you've given and if you've given them contrary to the rules, we'll revoke that license." New York refused. "In essence New York said go pound sand DOT," Duffy stated. "So we had no choice but to pull funding -- and if they still refuse, we can pull their ability to issue commercial driver licenses." Duffy emphasized the national danger and the America First response: "There are countless Americans that want to drive trucks. These are great jobs. They support families. Instead we have illegals or foreigners getting these jobs hurting the American people. We will not tolerate it at DOT. President Trump said no more."

Plenty of people opposed to both voted for Dem candidates because they thought they were "nicer", they thought the candidates would give them more free shit, or they just voted the way the FNM told them to.

Until another cartel judge says he didn't comply with some made-up bullshit.
Like "the Administrative Procedures Act requires you give them 18 months notice and a right to appeal forever. And the 14th plus the Pursuit of Happiness Clause."
What he needs to do is send a letter to every trucking company in NY, and cc their insurance, that they have 30 days to certify under penalty of perjury that every driver has a valid US CDL, provide copies of same, or their DOT license is cancelled.

They rely on being chameleons. You can find multiple different trucking businesses at the same address using the same trucks and same illegal/immigrant drivers.
To the extent that they often use crude remarking of those trucks to a new name and identifier whenever it is convenient to hide the old one.
And they buy the minimum insurance plus rely on the fact that their new trucking firm id is not the old one so the poor victims are suing a corpse.
That is why the whole current Scotus decision is so important. If the brokers are held responsible for hiring these fly by night gypsy firms that are unsafe, then that segment of the industry will go away saving lives and removing another magnet for illegals and work visa truck drivers not capable of following the rules of the road including speaking and reading English.

I've seen two major changes now filtering through the popular media(movies, TV shows, etc) lately:
1) The leftards now hate Amazon. Almost everything new has a negative mention/opinion of Amazon.
2) This is the shockah!
"Babies are horrible! Babies are gross and stupid and ruin your life. I see my girlfriends with babies and they are all angry and sad."
This is so werd. The one reason for women in the (natural) world is to have babies. That's, you know, the whole point of their biology.
I'm a strong believer in that you "have to feed the animal" ie. that they only way to live a happy life is to make sure to take care of what God and nature has created in you. And having offspring is the number one drive in all species.
Crazy development.

Read about chameleon trucking firms--essentially shell corporations used to deflect liability and enable rapid switches using the same trucks and drivers to escape scrutiny and legal liability.
Scotus has a case going right now where lower courts have allowed the brokers to be sued for hiring such firms that cause injuries or deaths from accidents. Lower courts have held that brokers, as intermediaries between the shippers and the trucking firm can be held liable for failure to do due diligence for the firms they hire.

Oregon has been slow rolling a number of construction projects on I-5 and the I 205 in favor of pet projects like putting roundabouts on state highways and giving grants to cities for sidewalks, being the best use of federal funds.

- Company Dirka Muhammed is a single owner LLC. It "has" insurance--only listed driver and listed owner.
- But Company Dirka Muhammed can't pay going rate for a driver. So it hire illegal Aladdin Muhammed to drive.
- And Dirka Muhammed LLC sure as shit can't pay the rate for Aladdin Muhammed to be insured. So it hides his employment.
- And when Aladdin Muhammed crashes through a van of kids, he goes back to Turkey; Dirka Muhammed LLC renames to Muhammed Dirka, LLC. Hires another illegal Aladdin.
- And the insurance carrier pays out $500k-$1mm+ under the MCS-90 and passes that loss onto the rest of us in rate increases.

And yet, the rest of the GOP Senators don't take this opportunity to start objecting to unanimous consent, make a call to recess, etc to punish Thune for his insolence.

More below. None of this makes sense. He's 18, should have tried as an adult but they tried in juvenile court since the victims were juveniles. What???? How about deportation? Charges were slapped down to misdemeanor level since felony would be an auto deport? Guess he's not leaving Fairfax City anytime soon......
-------------------------------
The judge said that for the victims, the offenses had "adjusted how they move through life," underscoring the lasting effect the assaults had on the students involved.
After serving his sentence, Flores Ortiz will be placed on two years of probation. The judge also ordered him to undergo a psychosexual evaluation and complete any treatment recommended as a result.
Addressing Flores Ortiz directly, the judge struck a more measured tone at the close of the hearing, telling him, "I absolutely believe in redemption" and, "this does not define you."

That ship has already sailed, the Feds can make the states do whatever the Feds want due to the Commerce clause explicitly, even before the current reading in NLRB v. Jones and Laughlin Steel, allowed the Feds to regulate transportation of goods and people across state lines. That is why the ICC existed even in the Dual Federalism era. See Gibbons v. Ogden for why.
Laws and constitutions don't matter much when the Democrats are now openly a Mafia like organization and the GOP being the cowardly types that look the other way. The issue is the decay of society to allow that rather than specific policies.
You cannot have a Constitution nor Rule of Law if Democrat ran jurisdictions don't agree to respect and enforce those laws. Democrats have embraced their full Joker identity where criminals are good, citizens are bad, and government exists to punish their enemies and reward their friends with loot.
The only resolution, like the Constitutional Convention realized, is to use force and Scotus to make them comply. Lincoln faced the same.

I reasonably believe that about 500 up to perhaps 1 Trillion dollars per year is simply stolen by the political system to reward themselves and to buy votes. Another 300-500 billion is likely to be simply waste which again serves the needs of the donor and political establishments.

Magyar is fixated on "corruption"...and Orban allowed it to fester. One of the reasons that Magyar left Orban's side and party was that the cabinet ministers were turning a blind eye to corruption (including child trafficking). Magyar's wife at the time was in the Ministry that refused to punish those responsible...so Magyar left both the party AND his wife....and restarted a political party that was inactive. In short, Orban brought this on himself. And, Magyar is going to take Hungary along with the rest of the EU due to his narrow vision and personal vendettas.

Of Course: Seized Iranian Ship Was Carrying Dual-Use Materials From China for Use in Building Ballistic Missiles
Say, didn't China agree to not send weapons to Iran?
The Iranian ship seized by U.S. Marines on Monday after attempting to break through President Trump's blockade was reportedly found to be carrying dual-use chemicals shipped from China that are commonly used to manufacture ballistic missiles. In an interview on Tuesday, President Trump confirmed the report, describing the chemicals as a "gift from China." He added that he was surprised by it because he thought he "had an understanding with President Xi."
It's time to deploy the oil weapon against China. Trump is now in defacto control of Venezuelan oil and Iranian oil, which together provide China with much of its oil. It's time to remind China of that.

EXCLUSIVE--Tucker Carlson and his brother Buckley want Trump to ID every Jew & Christian who supports Israel to "root them out" of government. One of first Nazi laws was banning most Jews from government. The Carlson brothers' proposed "update" is to also purge Christian Zionists. The only enemy of the people they mentioned by name in this bizarre segment was @SebGorka, Trump's most trusted counterterrorism advisor in the White House. Gorka is a staunch American patriot and a fierce anti-Communist. So why does Tucker want him gone? Because Gorka also believes that a close relationship with Israel enhances U.S. national security. The Carlson brothers' proposed purge would also cover Stephen Miller (@StephenM), @SusieWiles, and basically every single one of Trump's most loyal advisors. Of course, such a purge also would have included their late, great father, Amb. Dick Carlson, a mentor of mine, who held numerous government roles and had worked with the CIA. In the 13 months since their Dad died, Tucker and his brother Buckley have repeatedly vilified -- and outright questioned the loyalties of -- anyone who was like him, a Christian who supported the Jewish state. And both Tucker and Buckley have flirted with Holocaust denial, particularly in recent months.

Despite extensive research, I could not find a single example of Tucker acknowledging the extraordinarily well-documented fact that six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. Which brings me to a private conversation Tucker and I had maybe 15 years ago, one which I had written off at the time -- but in hindsight, probably shouldn't have. (We've never been close, but would chat if we ran into each other.) For some reason, I think because I had just toured Yad Vashem, I mentioned to him how mind-boggling it is that the Nazis murdered six million Jews. Tucker shot me a strange look, almost incredulous. Sarcastically, I quipped, "You're not one of those nutjobs who don't believe that six million Jews died, are you?" Instead of a jabbing back or acting indignant, Tucker responded, "I mean, whatever, Hitler killed a bunch of different people."Mowbray posted that last week. Tuq'r still hasn't contradicted it.
Tuq'r also claims that Trump is not a Christian, but subscribes to a religion that Tuq'r just made up called "Israelism," which is Tuq'r's way to say "Jews" while denying he's saying "Jews."

@TRUMPGIRL_STL Apr 19 Tucker Carlson says Donald Trump's religion is not Christianity -- it is "Israelism."
"What's the religion of Donald Trump? It's not Christianity, clearly. It's Israelism. It's the defense of Israel." Tucker's argument is that Trump's real priority is not America, not Christianity, and not Jesus -- it is Israel.

TUCKER CARLSON from deadline.
Tucker Carlson offered a mea culpa on his podcast for supporting Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign, telling his viewers and listeners that he will be “tormented by it for a long time.”
In a conversation with his brother Buckley, a Trump speechwriter, Carlson said on his show on Monday, “You wrote speeches for him. I campaigned for him. We’re implicated in this, for sure. It’s not enough to say, ‘Well, I changed my mind,’ or like, ‘This is bad. I’m out.’ It’s like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”

otherwise I could bear it;
it is not a foe who rises up against me—
otherwise I could hide from him.

Hard for me to get worked up over this. I mean, AIPAC and others do a very effective job of rooting out candidates who don't support Israel from government.
As long as both sides are using legal, non-violent, democratic means to sway voters and lobby elected officials, I'm fine with it, except AIPAC should probably register as a foreign agent since it appears to be acting on behalf of a foreign country.

He got a bad case of "religious revelation" from what I can see. He was the "least religious Christian", but then just overnight started claiming a rebirth in faith and telling longer-term Christians what is consistent with their faith and what isn't.
Tucker got good at knocking down Dems to the point that they no longer wanted to even go on his show to run out the clock and concern troll. But he's always shown a slight tendency not to regulate his speech and effuse too much. Even back when he was perhaps my favorite commentator.

I consider media personalities the same as carny barkers myself so I never gave a shit what Tucker said anyway nor his interviews.
The conservatives on the right spend a lot of time focusing on personalities and the fact that someone in the 'media' said something nice about conservatism. And they get their hearts broken again and again when media whores turn on them--see Robert Costa, David Brooks, Nicole Wallace, etc. etc. well before Qatarlson.
To appear in TV media requires those in it to essentially be actors playing scripted parts. For example, we did not get a glimpse of folksy Walter Cronkite's severe leftist bent until after Uncle Walter was already retired. He was acting just like a criminal does so they can slip in the knife, do the long con, etc. to their audience.
Now Qatarlson is essentially retired just like Me Again, both show their real ugly selves that have been hidden by a team of producers on networks that hid their personalities from the audiences.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Honestly all he is doing is playing himself. But clearly his paymasters think this alters the conversation around Trump and makes it seem less like Demofags screaming into a useless void.

How's that going for them?? Right, Cucker got serious thrashing from Trump, their buddy got kicked out of DNI's office for leaking, and Cucker's son got purged out of the administration. I don't buy the stupid story that they waited 4 months to transition him. It takes days to replace a Cabinet Secretary. You don't no four months to move out some VP aid. But somebody in the administration was looking out for him, and gave him free 4 month of paychecks to see if he can land somewhere else. But no one in DC wanted him, and Ds have their own grifters to employ. So daddy needed to set up a "firm" for him to land. Maybe Vance is thinking of hiring him '28 and using campaign funds to pay for his "consulting". LOL.

They are Germans. And recorded a lot.
The Holocaust has often been turned into a narrative- by a lot of people. This is not to say that the Jews were not specifically targeted, but a lot of other groups were. The Gypsies for example also had massive losses, but they are often lost in the muddle (or they do not care to do PR.) Political prisoners, the mentally infirm (who were targeted by most of the west for sterilization), etc.
I have had always had a problem with the narratives, which often feels like what we are told, even if with the best of intentions. I find it of a piece with glossing over the Purges of the Stalin era (or just saying they only happened because Stalin.) Or the Cultural Revolution. Or any and all of them.

I always thought this was the case as well, garrett ... however, per Brave Search "AI":
"Soviet forces arrived to liberate the Nazi concentration camps first.
. The Soviet Red Army was the first Allied force to encounter and liberate a major Nazi camp, capturing Majdanek in Poland on July 22–23, 1944.
. They subsequently liberated other major camps, including Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, as well as Stutthof, Sachsenhausen, and Ravensbrück.
. American forces were the first to liberate camps in the West, with Ohrdruf being the first camp freed by the U.S. Army on April 4, 1945, followed by Buchenwald and Dachau in April and May 1945.
. British forces also played a significant role, liberating camps in northern Germany such as Bergen-Belsen and Neuengamme in April 1945."

This is an op -- let me explain.
1. The muslims push for this.
2. Everyone reacts with shock "not who we are." laws are passed, standards are established. You do not call out people based on their religion. Period.
3. Muzzies are protected.
There is no "moderate" conquest of the world in the name of allah. There is no sharia or koran following that is compatible with the West. But to survive we must abandon some of the things that define us - freedoms and equality. Freedom to call for jihad and preach islam, and equality of those who want to destroy us.
They understand this and want to solidify those defining pillars of the West knowing that they will be our downfall. Tucker is working for them.

I really wish heretics would simply quit trying to call themselves Christian whether Qatarlson or this twit.
Those folks practicing Wicca, crystals, or some other twaddle are more honorable than those that adopt the outside branding on a Christian but then use that to create their own religion.
Irenaeus of Lyon had their number in the second century AD in his Heresies book which basically lays out the template for every single heresy we see today in Christianity. All comes down to centering a religion on what people want to do rather than obey the word of the Lord.

You have been reported to PETA for a murder prosecution, criminal!
/As a teenager nearly 50 years ago, I was driving home to Las Vegas from nearby Mt. Charleston one night (very dark surroundings) when I suddenly spied a large (maybe great horned?) owl on the road in front of me in my headlights.
I tried to slam on the breaks but it was too late. The owl tried a vertical liftoff at the last second and slammed into my windshield.
I felt awful and had never hit anything before in a car. I was kind of shaken and didn't know if I should turn around to see if it was okay, or still alive and badly wounded, or dead ,,, but figured the damage had been done so kept driving.

It is a slur just like going after Jews that support Israel by calling them Zionist.
Akin to the left calling out Christian Nationalism as the biggest threat to the world by which they mean their politics.
Zionism becomes a threat to the Muslims or leftist nutjobs because it is a barrier to get what they want--some sort of deranged idea of an ummah/Rousseau's popular will where everyone must share the same values or be destroyed.
They want Israel and Jews gone because they are different, they want Christians gone that are faithful because they are different. Both have values that are not susceptible being crushed and subjugated to the vanguard of the Proletariat or the chosen of Allah. Red/Green alliance indeed.

If you point out how the Communists were significantly worse than the Nazis, 9 in 10 people will give you the dull-eyed stare of a dairy cow, because that doesn't compute.
It's simple to understand why. The Communists won. Assume the Nazis had won, and stamped out Communism, and sent us packing... by 1950, our Communists would all become ardent Nazis and bemoan the fate of the kulaks and the peasants, and make eggs-and-omelettes rationalizations to downplay the Holocaust.

And, again, even while I was a fan, I noticed tendencies that weren't so good, and this one is key: Tucker can confuse doubling down with integrity.
In other words, he over effused in one minute so "consistency" is doubling down to how he felt in that moment.
I really think this is the migration that Carlson is doing.

There are several factors to this, but one that gets missed is, I don't know what you'd call it, cultural arrogance, maybe.
The Holocaust was done by "civilized" people in Europe.

The "revelation" that the crowd took from that is that "Fox LIED to us--they didn't think Trump had won".
How many of those people who caught into that wave ever watched Tucker's show?
As a common watcher I can tell you that Tucker was THE GUY on Fox broadcast who never told you Trump won 2020. And Tucker, on air, explained that in asking Trump's lawyers for presentable proof the election was stolen he had Flynn's old lawyer blow up on him, just for asking for presentable evidence.
It's a media-created myth that "Fox told people Trump won 2020". But that's what they ran

For the most part Jews and Christians agree on the Old Testament and don't really disagree much about the teachings of the New Testament that directly come from Judaism.
What they disagree about is the divinity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Jews agree that a Messiah can exist, they just disagree that Jesus was the one and still expect one to come in the future.
Essentially whether Christianity is a heresy of Judaism turns on a matter of identity and nature of Jesus. Rabbi or Christ?

It's also that the Nazis had a scientific, corporate precision that the others lacked. It's one thing for the Khmer Rouge to murder people by literally hacking them down with swords or smashing their heads with rocks.
But the Nazis were different. They built special camps, special death machines, kept detailed records, had formal murder hierarchies, and approached the entire Holocaust with clinical precision.
It was almost as if an alien race wanted to take over the planet and needed to exterminate all humans. This is how they would do it.

Serious answer? Depends upon what you are looking for. If the first seacan you open is stacked full of plastic drums full of ammonium perchlorate, and that is the contraband you are looking for, then one and done. But what if the contraband is packed in ones and twos in the very back of each seacan? To do a thorough search, you really have to dock the ship, offload all the containers, and empty out each one.

Neither sect actually practices Judaism though, since they can't sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem and we think sacrifices are over with--which by the way by writings within Judaism they saw for themselves for ~40 years before the destruction of the temple. It really seemed--even to them--like the Lord was not taking any more sacrifices.

Road rage incident where a smug Karen blocked her vehicle and taunted her. So being quite a Sheila, the young woman started driving with the Karen holding onto the bonnet. The smug look on Karen's face quickly changed to terror as the lady refused to stop. Eventually the Karen slid off and into the roadway.
And the judge slapped the victim with a sentence.

For the most part Jews and Christians agree on the Old Testament and don't really disagree much about the teachings of the New Testament that directly come from Judaism.
What they disagree about is the divinity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Jews agree that a Messiah can exist, they just disagree that Jesus was the one and still expect one to come in the future.
Essentially whether Christianity is a heresy of Judaism turns on a matter of identity and nature of Jesus. Rabbi or Christ?
Posted by: whig at April 21, 2026 01:02 PM (E4rtv)
Which is why I don't think enmity between Christians and Jews is "silly." Maybe it's counterproductive. Maybe it needs to be moderated. But if you can't get fired up about whether Jesus was the messiah or not, then what's the point of bothering with any of this? After Jesus, hostility between the two over this is fairly well documented. "Silly" is ahistorical.

When I was a wee tad, my Mom brought home a mallard duckling one day.
Someone had run over the mother duck and the ducklings were scattered alll about the road, so people were stopping to take the ducklings off the road and bring them home to raise.
We had Yankee for a couple of years till she matured enough and I taught her to fly because Dad thought we should bring her back to nature.
We let her go in a lake where there were other mallards near Love Field.
The other ducks were pretty mean at first, but after a while I guess the pecking order was established and she was okay.

Rabbinical Judaism was already in co-existence from the exile in Babylon at the time of Christ. They too could not sacrifice at the Temple nor go to the religious festivals in their homeland.
And that is in part the fight between the Sadducees and Pharisees along with the strain from the internal civil war and fight against the tyrant Antiochus IV just before Jesus.
After Jesus, the civil war reignited several times and was again over the relationship with Rome.

And what did his texts reveal? That he didn't believe that Trump won 2020. Which, despite not watching the rest of Fox that closely, I don't recall any host actually saying.
But they were just offending the left the way they had from the beginning, by letting the wrong people come on and make their case.
He was a bit patronizing, yes. But I saw that he also recognized that there were good people who solidly believed in Trump.
Hey, I wasn't interested in seeing the marginal bow-tie guy from CNN crossfire again, who impressed me no more than Bill Kristol ever did, when I first heard the news. So, I had no high opinion of him.
And the same is true of Trump after watching the first 2-3 seasons of The Apprentice. And the current Trump still does stuff that annoys me as much as that Trump did. So, it's not as if I saw somebody pegging Trump's flaws was "right all along about him" unless we saw no more or no less from him.

Emnity is silly. Judaism is not a proselytizing faith and Christians are a majority. Either Christ was or what not who he said he was. Jews say no, Christian say yes but in effect, the differences between the faith's teachings are akin to Unitarian doubts about the divinity, Arianism in its modern forms like Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.
The debates about Jesus are metaphysical more than they are about daily living which explicitly comes from a Jewish template.

That doesn't mean the sacrifices at the Temple weren't key. As if "the worship experience" was a main key. No, the Day of Atonement covered all Hebrews in Judea or abroad (I should think).

It was, but it never touted its authority as a "Secret Second Torah that must never be written down." It taught from the "Law and the Prophets" the principles of obeying God's Law.
But the temple was eminent and so were the Sadducees for that reason. Christians, solely, keep alive the centrality of the sacrifice by the centrality of Jesus' atoning sacrifice which was all that temple sacrifice was meant to point to.

I know there has been real enmity over the centuries but it’s always been silly. I remember John MacArthur ( one of my heroes) sitting down to have a very civil respectful discussion with Ben Shapiro….

Harlan Ellison wrote one in the 60s. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Supercomputer kills everyone when it gets sentient, but finds out it needs Humans to torture when there are only a few left. One of the humans manages to find a way to kill all the others so the computer only has him left.
So one problem with the 'AI needs us' scenario is it might not realize it before it screws up bigly.

The Morning Rant
Oil development off Santa Barbara County’s Gaviota Coast has long turned on fine legal margins — interstate versus intrastate, State Fire Marshal versus the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, court orders versus claims of immunity. On Friday morning, in the Santa Barbara courtroom of Judge Donna Geck, one of those margins snapped into focus. Geck refused to lift the injunction blocking Sable Offshore Corp. from restarting its pipeline system — even as oil continues to flow. That alone might sound like just procedural sparring, but this time, the ruling did something new: It rejected, for the first time, Sable’s argument that a federal order issued under the Defense Production Act allows it to sidestep state law and the court’s prior orders. “This is the first time a court has recognized that the Defense Production Act order does not relieve Sable of its requirements under state law,” said Talia Nimmer, staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD).
Even this article in the local rabid-leftist Santa Barbara newspaper exposes the contradictions in the attempt to supersede federal law with state regulation. Luckily the company is seemingly telling the judge to pound sand and continues to pump oil. You know, for national defense requirements that are self evident to anyone with a pulse and a passing familiarity with current events. But the arrogance of a low-level functionary in the California court system is breathtaking. This wasn't a holding that pushed it up the ladder to courts that might actually have some sane legal perspective (although it's CA so probably not). No, this was a demand to stop, on pain of penalty. There is no sense that the federal government might actually have standing, or that the administration's use of the Defense Production Act might be of national import. No...this was simply the amazing self-centeredness of a rabid environmentalist with a soupçon of Trump Derangement Syndrome, all topped with a California leftist's hatred of all things military. So OF COURSE this hack in black was going to try to stop the oil from flowing. She got her 15 minutes, and when she next goes to her favorite vegan lunch cooperative for a meal, the other patrons will stand and clap, and she will bask in their adulation! Never mind that America probably needs that oil to flow for national security reasons that are far more important than the remote possibility that some tidal snail's habitat gets a bit of oil in it. And yes, that is mockery of the environmentalists and their insanity. America is cleaner now than it has ever been in the industrial age, and using the increasingly hypothetical risk of environmental damage to do real damage to our country is tantamount to supporting Iran and the terror networks that America is trying to destroy.

Her resume is unimpressive -- with a "journalism" degree! -- and she was probably an ambulance chaser before being appointed to the bench.
"Judge Donna D. Geck received a BA degree in Journalism from Marquette University and a Juris Doctorate Degree With Distinction from the University of North Dakota Law School. Judge Geck is a member of the Order of the Coif. Judge Donna Geck was appointed to the bench by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June 2010. Prior to her elevation to the bench, Judge Geck was licensed to practice in four States. Her practice was exclusively civil litigation including jury trials, court trials, arbitrations and mediations."

You have no idea.

Actually I was early on to that idea. I have gotten the vibe that I might be the only one here that voted for Trump in 2016 for judge selection alone.
I called it a "better gamble" than that Hillary Clinton is going to select a judge that would not have swayed NFIB v. Sebelius into nightmare territory.
We were one vote away from the Supreme Court arguing that Congress' power to control commerce had lead to Congress' power to compel individual action in the marketplace.
I'm decades on this subject, and a long time scoffer at the ACLU's pretense of defending "everyone's rights". So much of this country was changed not from referendum, but from experts and elites surmising and making arguments and reinterpretations of representative-made laws in the courts.
Heck, the way the courts have commandeered the 14th amendment--as if the explicit power doesn't belong by referendum in Congress, is ample illustration of the damage the least representative branch in government can do.

I think it's because the same cartel judge has refused the removal.
Where Louisiana wanted their $700 million environmental damages against oil companies.
An issue that just went to SCOTUS and lost 8-0--if it implicates national security and is done because the federal government requested, it belongs in federal court.
But it gets worse because the oil company in CA is being hauled into her court again--but in two months--to explain why they shouldn't be held in contempt.
If it was an illegal who raped kids being threatened with deportation, this bitch would jump to attention and bend over to save him.
But here, it's just an American company losing millions so she's dragging her feet to prevent a final ruling so they can appeal and get removal.

Of course they require ID for big recycling dumps. Why? Because it's about the only thing these cocksuckers care about: money. Recyclers from out of state were dropping off tons of bottles, so CT was paying out big money for bottles sold outside the state.
The recyclers were cheating, you see. But no voter would ever cheat! So no need for ID for voting.

Indeed. They could still rule that a state law "conflicted with the 14th amendment right to equal protection", but it would still be up to Congress to take that grant and pass the law that intervenes.

A woman stands in a print-seller’s shop, beside her a boy, her brother, stands carrying a portfolio under his arm. The black dress and hood she wears tell of a recent loss. She is not wearing a mourning ring though, so she and her brother are probably orphans. Behind the counter to the right is the print-seller, a portly gentlemen, inspecting a small painting, a still life perhaps—the genre that, through lack of access to the life model, tended to be favored by women artists.

The anxious pose of the woman, her downcast eyes, her left shoulder coiled inwards as though guarding herself against the dealer’s critical gaze and the way, too, her hands toy nervously with a length of string, may lead us to assume that the painting is her own work. Her defensiveness is justified. The chair to the right is empty, the dealer having made no attempt at courtesy by offering her a seat. In the doorway another woman and boy make their way out, some rolled up sheets under the arm of the latter, while outside in the rain a woman is just visible walking along the pavement sheltering herself with an umbrella.

"The rich man's wealth is his strong city, etc." - Proverbs, x, 15
Emily Mary Osborn
Excellent story telling in a painting. I like it a great deal & would hang it.
This print reproduces a painting (Tate Britain) exhibited by Osborn at the Royal Academy in 1857. When a subsequent owner lent the work to the International Exhibition in 1862, this related wood engraving was published in the "Illustrated London News." It shows a young woman artist, accompanied by a brother, standing nervously in the shop of an art dealer whom she hopes will buy a work—her black dress suggests the recent loss of parents and their support.
Osborn added a Biblical quote to her title, "Nameless and Friendless: 'The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, etc.'—Proverbs, x, 15," to emphasize the plight of women artists who lacked financial means and were denied institutional access. The work should be read as a plea for reform rather than an illustration of personal experience, since Osborn's own family funded her training, and she sold paintings to influential clients such as Queen Victoria. From 1857, Osborn was active in feminist causes, ... (more)

But the perspective seems way off. Look at the boy in the back, and he seems taller than than the one in front, but so far away. Judging from the tiles, or the counter, the figures in rear should be smaller. Same with clerk and guy on ladder. just all confusing.
I can't tell if this is widow selling stuff to survive, or female painter. I lean toward the latter, but why she also looks to be in mourning. Not sure. And who is the kid? She looks too young, so maybe brother?

"Like a continuous narrative (where we see more than one moment of time within a single canvas), do these peripheral figures hint at what awaits the woman and her brother, who, failing to sell her work, will soon be back walking the street? The orthogonal lines in the painting would seem to support this view, pointing conspicuously to the door as they do. So too, of course, does the title of the work, Nameless and Friendless, suggesting that without the necessary connections, a woman artist stands little chance of finding professional success."

AP report on that goes the full article without ever explaining--or even hinting--why that could be a crime.
But it spends lots of time how the SPLC is such a noble organization, and lots of quotes from them.
Here's what should have been discussed:
Incitement, conspiracy and misprision of felonies.

Instead of fleeing, Voss chose to not only fight but attack. Before he was finally killed, he had managed to damage several enemy fighters forcing them out of the fight.
His Fokker Triplane fatally stuck and Voss probably also, dived straight into the ground. He was honored not only by his fellow German pilots but also by British pilots.

He goes on--because his audience is mathematically and logically mal-literate--to bemoan that "but you're not 10 times richer!"
That's why I'm calling it "Billionaires stole my Lambo!"
These greedy dullards actually believe that the scrap of paper they spent $200k+ obtaining from the education collectives entitles them to a life of luxury.
And the only reason they don't have that is because billionaires stole it from them.
They'd rather live in a country of zero billionaires, and peck shit with the chickens, than in a country of 1k, where they can live a life of luxury that kings 200 years ago would envy.

"An ActBlue spokesperson insists that it has "always been forthcoming with Congress." That’s a rather dubious claim, considering the evidence and the fact that the company’s employees invoked the Fifth Amendment 146 times. It’s also important to note that these allegations aren’t just coming from the GOP. As the report notes, “It is not only the Committees that allege this — it is what ActBlue’s own outside lawyers found during a legal review of the platform’s fraud-prevention practices and statements to Congress.”
The committees put it bluntly in their report: "The crux of this misconduct is simple: ActBlue appears to have accepted illegal foreign donations en masse and tried to cover it up, lying to and withholding information from Congress in the process."
- I wonder what the odds are that ActBlue gets shut down, and that another, identical and illegal system will replace it.

The Morning Report — 4/ 21/26
Israel on Monday exposed the global terror network operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) through its covert “Unit 4000,” detailing how the apparatus directed plots against Israeli officials, embassies, and strategic infrastructure worldwide while key commanders were killed during the U.S.-Israel campaign against Iran. According to the joint statement, members of the cell were arrested with explosive drones and fragmentation charges they had smuggled into the country, after gathering intelligence on targets through surveillance and photography under direct orders from handlers in Iran. . . The arrests led Israeli intelligence agencies to uncover the broader structure and chain of command of Unit 4000, a covert division within the IRGC’s intelligence apparatus responsible for directing terrorist activity abroad against Israeli and Western targets, including attempts to smuggle advanced weaponry into Israel.Remember that "Global" doesn't just mean Israel since given the nature of our pre-Trump era nearly non-existent southern border or even the smallest iota of an illusion of border security going back decades, and with Iranian agents operating with impunity all over Latin America (especially Cavez/Maduro ruled Venezuela), it's safe to assume that quite a few Iranian and other Islamic terror cells have made it over the border along with the wetback lettuce and grape-pickers. That said, it's I was expecting some sort of Iranian backed or executed terror attack on our soil, despite the decapitation strikes on Iran's military and intelligence leadership. It's a good thing that our law enforcement and intelligence agencies are fully on board with protecting the American homeland and citizenry. Okay you can stop laughing, and start weeping:
Maryland’s new immigration enforcement restrictions are drawing sharp pushback from law enforcement, who warn the “sanctuary” shift undermines public safety and cooperation with ICE. . . . Maryland is flexing its “sanctuary state” muscles, working against its own citizens in an effort to protect illegal immigrant criminals who are acting in the state. Ridiculous. And the reasoning behind this is even worse. Senator Mary Beth Carozza noted the following: “Maryland Sheriffs have warned that legislation like this could actually increase the presence of ICE agents in Maryland. Without open lines of communication, we are only raising the chances that Maryland could become the next Minnesota. But it’s funny. When you actually ask law enforcement about how something like this can take effect, you get a much different answer.Yes, multi-billion dollar grifting as well as rapes, robberies and murder are bad enough but as noted above potential mass casualty terrorist events are quite something else. Yes, it's encouraging that the author notes "Pushback" from Maryland's law enforcement rank and file, but unless the latter en masse informs the MD governor and legislature that they will disregard and disobey this illegal and insane law by fully cooperating with ICE, it's just just hot air. Take a stand or dry up and go away. Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The subpoenas of the FBI and other intelligence officials were issued after the DOJ had directed an attorney aligned with President Donald Trump to take over the investigation, according to CBS News. The probe into Brennan centers around false statements he provided to Congress regarding his involvement in investigations between the Russian government and Trump’s 2016 campaign.

File this under, what were they thinking category.
Johnny Somali has appealed his light sentence. The prosecution then filed their appeal over the light six-month sentence.
This means Johnny stays in a detention center until the new trial starts which maybe in September at the earliest. Johnny's appeal and the prosecution's appeal will go before a three judge panel at that time, Bong Bong and others will probably have to testify again.
If Johnny Somali had stayed quiet and the prosecution had not appealed, Jonny would have been released in November. Before winter really starts to set in in South Korea.

It doesn't mean they can't also smuggle in weapons, but it is a lot bigger effort to do so than walking across an open border with a million other people. (Note the Israelis caught them.)

If there's a shock win, it's b/c the power struggle of minority vs white Ds and north vs south Ds surprises the Yes vote.
I mean, Fairfax is gonna overwhelmingly go Yes b/c why wouldn't it? 5 seats to protect one county - if you could have extra power, why wouldn't a self-interested party take it?
Thus, we'll see if the other Dem counties want to give Fairfax that much power...they might...they might not.
Other than Fairfax, I don't know how cleanly Ds split on Yes and No for this vote.

The left isn't.
What has become more obvious than ever is that Trump is leading a movement to overturn years of globalist policy to weaken the western powers through mass migration, increase China's power as a counter to the US and make Iran the center of power in the Middle East. The policies and actions his administration are taking are all connected in overturning that plan and the globalist left is fighting back hard with government and non-government aligned powers.
Leftists are now openly cheering for Iran to defeat Trump and fighting to keep all illegals in the US including violent criminals. They are stealing our taxes and sending them to criminal cartels overseas. They are demonizing Israel while covering for mass murdering Islamic terrorists.
This is a fight for western values and the left is on the other side.

We are dealing with the result of allowing our public schools to become far left indoctrination centers that produced generations of kids absolutely believe that the US is a force for evil in the world, communism is good and tiny Israel is the center of evil in the world. The are mini Terminators of stupid. They can't be reasoned with and they won't stop until they are stopped and we now have a legal system that in many places refuses to punish them.
Trump was the only person I've seen in years who seems to get it and is willing to sacrifice everything to lead the fight. The fight is going to take a long time, well after Trump is gone, but at least now we have a shot.

~~ Mollie Hemingway quoting Justice Alito
=========================
Disturbingly, many casual lefties have abandoned freedom in favor of government, even bohemian sorts who would miss freedom most acutely. Some of my oldest friends have moved into this category, convinced somehow that they themselves must sacrifice freedom to save the climate, or to protect abortion, or to stop imperial America from controlling other countries. Or whatever.
Very sad.

And this harks back to what I was talking about yesterday - why aren't those six assholes in prison right now for insurrection? I can only think of a few reasons:
- Trump doesn't have the balls;
- Trump's people would not obey his orders;
- Trump doesn't have the political capital;
- The GOP would impeach his ass in a NY minute;
- The Seditious Six have some sort of congressional immunity;
- Congress would circle the wagons to protect their 'collegiality'
None of these reasons give me any hope for true, lasting change post-Trump. I still say the GOP deserves to lose the midterms.

Republicans and conservative voters need to understand two very deadly things:
1) the level of hatred they have for Trump (who is just a proxy for anything and anyone "not-leftist"). It is an all-consuming, raging, unstoppable hatred that drives everything they do and say.
2) the complete corruption at all levels of government. That every local, state and federal government spending is a version of a "Friends and Family Enrichment" program.

Yep, order of questions, polling language, etc. can affect results.
And there is serious money behind the continuing attempts at amnesty and the various work visas that far too many employers, including small businesses and farms, want cheap labor so they can make more money. Labor in many fields is about 60-70 percent of all expenditures in a business so owners pay less for labor=more profit.

The problem is most people don't realize what Trump is and the skills and the spine he brings to the table. Also he is better at what the Left does than the Left and that's what we need.
I don't think there is anyone behind him that could survive even a tiny fraction of the onslaught. For three days, let alone a decade.
He has given us a chance and God certainly spared him for a reason. So I hang on to that.

This is the very definition of an ongoing criminal enterprise, the core of a RICO case. On March 26, I described the Southern District of Florida grand jury subpoenas to Comey and Brennan as the potential RICO hammer finally dropping on a decade-long conspiracy, even as the DOJ is continuing to purge holdovers who have been dragging their feet. Because the enterprise is treated as ongoing, statutes of limitations do not shield the participants. Moving the case to Florida avoids the deeply conflicted D.C. venue and gives accountability a real chance to stick.

62 == 70% of 67 (but it's recalculated monthly, I believe, so you could retire at 66.5 and get most of the 67 money).
70 == 124% of 67 (I think this one is calculated annually, naturally).

1) Hatred of Trump, MAGA, etc. As I note, Trump is just a proxy for anything and anyone "not-leftist." And this is not a policy-driven hatred--it's personal: They hate Trump, they hate you, they hate your family, they hate everyone and everything that isn't leftist.
2) "Billionaires stole my Lambo!" They've convinced their young voters their education certificates entitled them to a 6k sqft house, 6-figure income and a Lambo.
And the only reason they don't have that is because billionaires stole it from them.
Greed and Hatred are all Democrats have to offer.
And it's selling.

For other men, it would pay to be polite to women.

- Trump doesn't have the balls;
- Trump's people would not obey his orders;
- Trump doesn't have the political capital;
- The GOP would impeach his ass in a NY minute;
- The Seditious Six have some sort of congressional immunity;
- Congress would circle the wagons to protect their 'collegiality'
None of these reasons give me any hope for true, lasting change post-Trump. I still say the GOP deserves to lose the midterms.

I knew a man I considered a friend who, at the beginning of the COVID panic locked himself and his wife inside their house for a year, never leaving, never allowing anyone over. They had food delivered to their front door where it would be dropped off, with only electronic communications between them and the deliverers.
They voluntarily placed themselves into solitary confinement for a year based on nothing but their own fears. I’ve never had anything to do with either of them since, I found their behavior too disgusting to forgive or forget.

And there is no statute of limitations for war crimes.

Too much about marijuana legalization was based on 1970's era potency where the risk from smoking it was more its effect on cancer than permanent damage. Today's stuff is much higher in THC along with newer delivery routes for that THC like edibles and vaping. Like most pharmacology--the dose determines the poison.
You can see the effects in driving accidents and deaths and this tidbit, "Marijuana/hashish is the most commonly used drug among incarcerated populations in the United States, with approximately 77% to 78% of state prisoners and jail inmates reporting lifetime use. " Plus, "Current Use: Between 40% and 56% of state prisoners reported using marijuana in the month before their offense"

More than 250 journalists, including Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson, have signed an open letter demanding that the White House Correspondents’ Association turn this Saturday’s dinner into a stage for a direct, “forceful” confrontation with President Donald Trump.
The letter, sent to the WHCA on Monday, calls on the organization to use the podium at the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner to deliver a “forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom, followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment.”
“Speak forcefully, in front of the man who seeks to undermine our country’s long tradition of an independent, strong, and free press,” the letter says.

==========================
The ICC was created during a UN conference in Rome in 1998, and has since been ratified by 125 countries. The US (thank you Asshat Clinton) signed on to the original Rome report but never ratified the treaty itself. After October 7, the ICC sided with Hamas and issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and the Israeli Defense Minister.
And now Hungary says they will enforce it, insultingly.

Latest was Dept of Labor, not Commerce, and rumor has it that she was stifling work visa investigations into H1B and other misconduct.
That being said, average tenure is about 18-24 months for Cabinet secretaries. Treasury, War Dept, and usually AG are the more long lived.

President Trump reveals he caught CHINA possibly trying to give Iran a "gift" during the ceasefire
"I thought I had an understanding with President Xi — but that's alright. That's the way WAR goes!"
"We caught a ship yesterday that had some things on it, which wasn't very nice, a GIFT from China, perhaps. I don't know!"
"You know, [Iran is] trying to move the missiles. They're trying to move their missiles around, even during the ceasefire...WE'RE totally loaded up. We have so much ammo...much more powerful than it was 4-5 weeks ago. We've used this to restock."

Can't get away from basic pharmacology--the dose of the active ingredient determines whether it is a poison or not. "Prior to the 1990s it was less than 2%. In the 1990s it grew to 4%, and between 1995 and 2015 there has been a 212% increase in THC content in the marijuana flower. In 2017 the most popular strains found in dispensaries in Colorado had a range of THC content from 17–28% such as found in the popular strain named “Girl Scout Cookie.”2 Sadly these plants producing high levels of THC are incapable of producing much CBD, the protective component of the plant so these strains have minimal CBD. For example the Girl Scout Cookie strain has only 0.09–0.2% CBD.
The flower or leaves that are generally smoked or vaped are only one formulation. We now have concentrated THC products such as oil, shatter, dab, and edibles that have been able to get the THC concentration upwards of 95%. "

In my opinion ( and I am right of course) , Rubio can build a bigger coalition. And without the likes of Cucker, and Temu Cukers like Posobiec, Benny Johnson and the like - grifters who gained prominence and millions riding Charlie Kirk's coattails.

How is a lowly Santa Barbara County judge more powerful than the president
A county judge in Santa Barbara has decided that she has more power than the President of the United States to regulate American energy supplies in wartime.
Last month, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to allow Sable Offshore Corp. to resume operations, pumping 60,000 barrels per day to expand domestic supply and reduce prices.
It is the same power that Joe Biden used in 2022 to order the production of baby formula.
So what gives a lowly Santa Barbara Superior Court judge the power to override federal, and presidential, authority?
Nothing.
The net effect of Judge Donna Geck’s ruling is that Sable has to stop producing oil. Perhaps for months.

Same difference between drinking a beer everyday versus drinking a fifth of Everclear daily.
No one seriously here would be making comments about how drinking the fifth of Everclear per day is beneficial. It has all kinds of pain relief too as you would be comatose.
And driving drunk or driving stoned results in markedly higher risk of fatal/injury collisions as well as plain old accidents.
They don't test routinely in plain accidents as they probably should so the figures on impaired driving are actually lower than they should be. Accidents involving fatalities or severe injuries usually end up with drivers viewed at fault being forced to take alcohol and drug testing.

Apologies; I'm not used to texting anybody but Miss Linda. I've replied to your email. Yesterday the realty lady drove me around the area a little, and we passed Martinelli's, so I know where it is. Salina is a grid town, apparently, and easy to find your way around.

Being open source is NOT what makes the code insecure.
"Open source" mean anyone can read the programming.
What makes it hackable is lousy choices in the coding. All open source does is let everyone see how insecure of a programmer you are. How much you want to be it was "vibe coding"?

I got this text this evening:
You're making a huge mistake continuing to ignore us like this. We're asking one last time. Verify your voter profile ASAP. >> win26.io/le5v2b
It's from "WinRed," and directs to some stupid questionnaire from the NRSC. It is a perfect example of why the Republican Party sucks, and why we will never achieve the electoral success of the Democrats without wholesale changes. And by changes I mean the destruction of the Corporate GOP apparatus and its replacement with rabble-rousing young conservatives who hate the GOPe. By the way, here is my answer:

All good so far, though I haven't checked the bookstores. I know they have some. Their downtown is amazing: a super wide main street with angle parking, no parking garages or meters (though the angle spots are three hours only, but I can live with that). Lots of different, thriving stores.

I am wondering who thought this was a good idea. One thing I have noticed is that the more recent generations have ... issues communicating properly. In a tone and manner that actually works. Even though they are 'writing' more than almost any preceding generation before them with texting, they seem to lack all decorum when doing so. It's as though they cannot predict how what they write will be interpreted in text without context- even though they communicate in the same way all the time.
A better way to say it might have been: 'With the issues we face, please lend your support. We cannot afford not to fight these battles.' Make it a group thing rather than a confrontational, insulting mess that a retard wrote.
Just my two cents.
Thanks for the ONT.

Never heard of that variation- did it take forever?
Our version was:

2) no license plates
3) You can use any roadside signs or lettering on trucks.
We were all so close together in age, that the much younger annoying sibling wasn't an issue.

I was doing my usual "one-weird-trick" of using a sheet of cardboard to deflect the oil into my used oil basin, when I noticed the big dip pan under the basin was rapidly filling with oil. My plastic oil drain basin had a crack in it at about the 2-quart level.
$10 worth of Pig Mat later, I had most of the oil mopped up. I was glad to find I could wring out a sheet of Pig Mat and use it a couple of times. Then I got to deal with the stuck oil filter, which felt like some inbred, mouth-breathing hillbilly had installed it with an impact wrench, even though I know it was me who put it on, just a hair past finger-tight. Nearly two hours after I started, I was finally done with a 30 minute job.

Hubs hit 100 mph on I-89 just over the NH border and held steady until almost Waterbury. Scared the pants off me.

I think we knew it before the ship was stopped. (Hence the reason we were so determined to stop it). The ships last port of call was a Chinese city known for prodding chemical stocks, including the perchlorate used for solid rocket motors.

Until now, overseas transfers of domestically produced finished products have been limited to rescue, transportation, vigilance, surveillance, and minesweeping (the so-called "five types"), but with this amendment, in principle, all defense equipment can be transferred.
As the security environment becomes increasingly difficult, no country can now protect its own peace and security with just one country...partner countries are expressing their expectations for the defense equipment that Japan is developing under the concept of "exclusive defense."
Meeting these needs and transferring defense equipment will contribute to improving the defense capabilities of these countries and ultimately preventing conflict from occurring, thereby ensuring Japan's security...

Back in the day you could find 40 acre parcels for 10 or 20 grand. Hard to find now. I've been eyeballing a place called Yerrington for a while now. 10 acres for about $20,000 is more the going rate. There was a guy selling 40s for $5,000 a few years ago out on I80 between Button Point and Golconda but I think he passed away.
The property is weird out here. The railroads got paid in land so there are checkerboards all along wherever there was track laid. A lot of the private property is landlocked by federal property.
The pic up top if, I am correct in where it is, is Navy land, Fallon Naval Air Station, on both sides. There is a place called The Centroid Facility just to the left out of camera view and there are huge earthquake faults to the right.

We once were in Salinas on the hottest temp of the day in the USA...120. Car overheated on new road Driving from the Intermountain West to MS, married 1yr.
I nearly overheated, & was busy keeping our husky/malamute/German shepherd doggie alive...feeding her ice from the cooler. She was super hot & I had to force it on her. Normally she would have wanted to be barking & biting strangers.
My husband did something & we decided to quit driving early for the day. Found the first motel & it had blissful A/C. Our pup lay down & was in heaven, as were we, in the AC. Watched black & white TV...I think Andy Griffith...in nirvana. Got something for dinner & left the next morning under cooler weather & a tornado warning.
Here's a song I like for the road, and may the road not rise up to meet you if you are going too fast (as I tended to do in my prime).Favorite by this band.
Hope Ace feels better soon and the US Navy and Marines take out all the IRGC barbarians soon.

For @MorningWire today I spoke to on-the-record sources like @DissidentClint who have worked very closely with Patel and say they have never seen him abuse alcohol.
They further told me that, though they are the obvious people that Fitzpatrick should have contacted for comment, they never heard from her.
Now, @Reuters also says they have been unable to confirm the Atlantic’s claims.
And Reuters further notes that the Atlantic has inexplicably changed the title of the story from “Kash Patel's Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job” to “The FBI Director Is MIA.”

Bezos' New Glans has been grounded by the FAA pending an investigation of the 2nd stage failure.
While the Glans booster re-use and barge landing was a success, the 2nd stage failed to get the payload in the proper orbit. That comms satellite is now unusable and will have to be de-orbited to burn up.
The payload was fully insured. I wonder just how much payload insurance costs for experimental rockets?

as for "women pastors", I've known some very good ones. But there are a higher percentage that go for 'sounds good' theology. I think, man or woman, regardless of your denomination, we need to remember to not only love the sinner, but to teach the sinner to hate their sin.

have realistic expectations, don't expect to duplicate a good professional crust. Just want mine less chewy. They do vary from one to the other, some better. Pretty much keep same technique (either pastry blender or food processor), everything's very cold, etc. I'll just keep experimenting, including trying shortening again (half shortening/half butter)

Blend flour and shortening with a fork. Use the least amount of water that you can (flour + water = glue), and roll it out on a pastry cloth.

I'm actually pulling for Blue Origin now, really. Competition is good, the more the merrier, and we're gonna need 'em all if we're gonna pull off the Moon landing and Moon base.
Bezos is working on a lander dubbed Blue Moon (I think I would've named it Alice), and they plan a text flight with landing around Shackleton Crater, maybe this year, although I think it will be at least 2027.
Elon's Starship HLS has some delays, and competition from Bezos will help to get their asses -- all their asses -- in gear to do this right.

I warehoused and delivered equipment for AT&T in the mid-late 70s. Worked for a moving, storage, rigging, company. There was one fallout Long Lines facility 40 feet underground in the middle of Harriman State Park in Rockland County, NY. Everything was delivered by a hoist down a shaft. Very little visible above ground, just a little stone building that fit into the Park building motif. Gravel road, don't think many people even notice it.

Yep. Soon. Think we've had our last freeze. Such a wonky winter & zip into two weeks of summer & now spring. I need to rip out some plants spread by seed, not a lot of weeds but they annoy me (I forget the name).
Red finches are nesting in a hanging basket on the front porch. I haven't asked them if they are confused as well this year.
I sped on I-55 at the age of 15 as a candy striper. Clocked slowing down at 93mph. Top speed 110mph. Mother had a new & fast V8 station wagon. I only got in trouble because my wicked friend told me I should tell my parents. Mother cried. Daddy yelled (which never scared me). Then apologized the next day for being a bad influence speeding himself the week prior. Bless him. I was never influenced by anyone, I just liked to fly low on the hwy. Glad I lived.

They think Obama was smart. They think Biden was lucid and intelligible. They think Harris... hell I don't even know what the hell they think about Harris but they sure seemed keen on putting an actual literal prostitute at the front of their little pervert parade.

That image always reminds The Wifey of the film "My Own Private Idaho."
About 15 years ago we both had some time off of work and she mentioned a desire to find such a locale. We drove from SoCal up to the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho, but didn't find it.
Then we drove over to Montana (my family is and were all from Butte) and still didn't find it.
Then somewhere between Butte and Yellowstone National Park, we suddenly came upon a long straight two-lane road -- with no other vehicles in sight -- that looked exactly like the image up top.
We stopped the car in the middle of the road, got out, and took a photo very similar to this one, thus fulfilling her wish -- albeit in Montana rather than Idaho.

Last night, Reid Wiseman, commander of Artemis II, posted this video showing the Erf setting behind the Moon as they whipped around the far side. He shot that with an iPhone, and I'm sure Apple will get the PR opportunity of a lifetime from this:
https://is.gd/vUs3T0
He posted the uncut clip, and at the beginning you'll see the iPhone camera adjusting to get everything in focus. You'll note a bunch of little globules appearing there.
That is dust and stuff floating inside the capsule. The other stuff includes well, little flecks of dead skin, little cough droplets -- say it don't spray it -- and the other stuff people and equipment shed all the time. In zero-g, that stuff just floats around until it finally gets removed by the filters in the air circulation system.

I drove out to the local burger and ice cream place, Bogey's. It's a little one-room place that looks like it ought to be a bar; you have to stand in line to place your order. But the bacon cheeseburger was just the right size, they left out the onions as I requested, and even the small ice cream cup was pretty good-sized, all for less then $10. I had trouble believing their online prices -- $3.49 for a basic burger??? -- but that's for real. They don't have a real wait staff, which helps keep prices down.
Too windy outside to enjoy a pipe, so I think I'll just flake out here.

PITTSBURGH, April 16, 2026 – U. S. Steel today announced plans to restart the Gary Tin Mill at the company’s Gary Works facility, positioning the company to increase domestic tin mill production and provide customers with American made supply.
The planned restart requires sustained customer interest in securing long term domestic tin mill supply
and U. S. Steel’s belief that demand can be met by increased U.S. production when market conditions allow for fair competition. The restart is intended to provide customers greater access to reliable, American made tin mill products—mined, melted, and made in America—as part of a more balanced domestic supply mix.
It looks like 225 jobs directly created per US Steel's webpage

Are you piping it or just frosting it? A vanilla butter cream is pretty easy - it’s butter, powdered sugar, cream, vanilla extract and a little salt. Is that what you were thinking?

Basic buttercream frosting:
1 16 oz package powdered sugar
6 tbsp softened butter
3-4 tbsp milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
Put about half of the sugar, all the milk and butter and vanilla and salt in a bowl. Blend with mixer starting on low. Slowly add the remaining sugar. Mix until smooth and the consistency you want. Add more milk a teaspoon or 2 at a time to get it the right consistency.
Super simple.

I don't think cats hate it, not all of them. They simply *expect* the food and water, and look forward to the entertainment we humans provide -- either using toys to play with them, or the screaming and jumping up and down that we do when the cats destroy something. (True, the late Chekov did not seem happy when I went ballistic after he destroyed a lamp. But Marie-Antoinette took a positive joy in knocking things, including expensive watches, off tables.)

Easy Chocolate frosting
⅔ cup cocoa powder
½ cup salted butter, melted
3 cups confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk cocoa powder and warm melted butter together in a large bowl; let sit for 2 minutes. Beat in confectioners sugar, 5 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well blended, smooth, and creamy, about 2 minutes, adding 1 or 2 tablespoons more milk as needed until reaches desired consistency.

I'm so old I remember when each slice of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough was to be quartered, and each quarter yielded (as they said then) a decent-sized cookie.
When did food companies stop putting "Yield: 20" on the package, and start using "Makes 20" or whatever?

Lower Nint' Ward in Noo Awlins, hawt. The classic "Yat" dialect, from "Where y'at?", meaning "How are you," not "Where are you physically located." Sadly the classic Yat talk (or "tawk") has faded: The old people have died or moved away, ebonics has taken over, and those who came into town after Katrina don't know about the old dialect.

I continue to strive and struggle to improve my pie crust for all kinds of pies, savory and fruit, and quiches. The crust generally is fine, but I really want to replicate commercial flakiness.
But I haven't done much with cakes, which is why the French apple cake is so handy. Have my mother's Sunbeam mixer - works fine. Should probably sell it as a collectible on eBay and finally say yes to good friend's wife who has long offered to give me their Kitchenaid, which she just doesn't use. But it's sort of cool to use something I clearly remember from when my sister and I would be begging to "clean" the bowls and blender attachments after mom made sugar cookies.

There is, or used to be a few years ago, a program called CODOFIL -- Council on the Development of French in Louisiana. I don't know if it was sponsored by LSU or by the Feds or the state. That I think is what you're talking about, an attempt to preserve Cajun French, which no longer has many speakers and is quite a bit different from Parisian French.

When I first took up the pipe again, I needed something to clean and sweeten the bowls and interior parts after a smoke. The Pipe Sweetener products are $$, and vanilla extract is worse, considering how small the bottles are.

In desperation he learned how to bake. He makes his chocolate cakes from scratch, no box mix, and they are amazing, moist right down the pan. Now he bakes all kinds of things.

In contrast, yours truly wore an untucked collared shirt over a T-shirt, jeans, and boots. Must have looked like formal wear compared to the rest of the patrons.

Quicker Than Usual Hits
We've got another Fani Willis, this time in Utah.
She ruled against the Republicans' redistricting map -- giving the Democrats two unearned seats. She was fucking the Democrat lawyer in the case. She kept it secret and never recused herself.Utah's governor, Senate president and House speaker are launching an investigation into Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen and allegations that she had a relationship with an attorney arguing cases before the high court. Those allegations are detailed in a complaint submitted late last year to both Chief Justice Matthew Durrant and the Judicial Conduct Commission. The complaint, which was obtained exclusively by KSL through a public records request, came from a Provo-based attorney who said Hagen's ex-husband told him the justice had exchanged "inappropriate" text messages with David Reymann, one of the attorneys involved in a case about redistricting, which led to Utah getting a new congressional map. Hagen strongly denies allegations of an inappropriate relationship of any kind. Reymann also called the allegations "false." He does outside legal work for KSL and as an attorney for the Utah Media Coalition, of which KSL is a member. The Judicial Conduct Commission conducted a preliminary investigation into the complaint and interviewed Hagen's ex-husband but ultimately decided not to investigate further. Gov. Spencer Cox, Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz told KSL that's concerning. "An initial review by the Judicial Conduct Commission and the court left important questions unresolved," they said in a joint statement Thursday. "Allegations of this nature, especially involving public officials, must be examined with transparency and accountability to establish the facts and to maintain public confidence." They added, "We will move forward with an independent investigation to ensure the facts are fully examined. This process will be conducted objectively and thoroughly, because maintaining trust in our institutions is essential." What the allegations say The allegations originally come from Hagen's ex-husband, Tobin Hagen, who said he suspected the justice began having an inappropriate relationship with Reymann, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit over Utah's redistricting maps. Tobin Hagen allegedly described the circumstances surrounding his divorce proceedings to another attorney, including allegations that Diana Hagen had exchanged text messages with Reymann, which Tobin Hagen said began as "silly" and then became "more suggestive." The case, League of Women Voters of Utah v. Utah State Legislature, is arguably the highest-profile legal case to reach the Utah Supreme Court in years. The justices issued a unanimous ruling in July 2024 saying lawmakers overreached by changing Proposition 4, an anti-gerrymandering ballot initiative. Many Republican lawmakers reacted with outrage and promised to continue appealing the case, suggesting it was likely to return to the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs who sued the Legislature filed an additional complaint in the same case later in 2024, challenging Amendment D -- an effort by lawmakers to give themselves power to overturn ballot initiatives. Hagen wrote the majority opinion upholding a lower court ruling invalidating the amendment which was finalized in October 2024.

@TomCotterillX 🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
SAS soldiers are resigning in significant numbers over fears they will be subjected to "witch hunts" by human-rights lawyers. Multiple sources have claimed that personnel from across 22 SAS, the Army's most elite fighting force, have applied for premature voluntary release. The Telegraph is withholding the exact figure for security reasons. However, several SAS sources have described the recent losses as "significant" and a "threat to national security". At least two squadrons, D and G, are believed to have been affected, with insiders saying outrage over recent war crime probes into Afghanistan and Syria, which have been branded "witch hunts", are believed to be the main driving forces. Among those understood to have resigned include several senior warrant officers, who are the backbone of the special forces and among the most experienced troops in the regiment. A number are understood to have applied for release "on principle" just before Christmas. "Morale is s--t at the moment," one insider with knowledge of the recent losses told me, while another said there was "considerable disquiet" in the regiment as a result. The SAS resignations are a major blow to the famed special forces unit, which is the tip of the spear in any military operation and is deployed globally.

STEFANIK: "Of course it's bad! That is not what he is calling for. He wasn't calling for genocide." TAPPER: "You're entire civilization will die?" STEFANIK: "It was targeted toward the Iranian terrorist regime." TAPPER: "Agree to disagree..." STEFANIK: "This is typical CNN. This is TYPICAL CNN!" "If you want to compare the president of the United States to the university presidents who failed to call for the condemnation of calling for the genocide of Jews, that's on you, Jake." "The world saw how morally equivocating those university presidents were." "If you want to make that comparison, that's on CNN." TAPPER: "I'm just asking you if you have the same standard for somebody...?" STEFANIK: "Of course, genocide is bad across the board, Jake." "President Trump effectively brought the Iranians to the table." "He effectively delivered a ceasefire." "And he is going to effectively deliver peace to the Middle East to stop, frankly, the killing [from] the Iranian terrorist regime, which kills their own people and has created havoc across the Middle East." Stefanik refused to let CNN twist Trump's words into a genocide narrative.

@JTAlexander There was a massive DOJ study done decades ago that among people in Federal custody, the single trait career criminals had most in common was that they had all gotten caught as a teenager and the case resolved in a way that left them feeling like they 'got away with it.' More in common than race, than marital status of parents, than bullying, than presence of a father. It was *the* issue.

You know what would probably help solve this?
Caning the convict for a misdemeanor rather than imprisoning him or letting him go.
You make the punishment swift, painful, and public, then send him home. He's out of trouble until he recovers enough to walk, everyone else is warned, and the neither the prison-criminal education complex nor the anarcho-terrorist complex get what they want.

Years back I was around a series (5-6) of British military officers for about 6 months at a time, as they rotated through a post. All services. All save one planned to cut their planned military careers short, due to (generally) lack of public support for their mission. This was 20 years ago. Imagine what's it like now.

The Left and Media have somehow decided that killing Non Uniformed combatants, during an occupation or insurgency, can be murder.
But they think they can destroy their own war fighters, because the West has not FELT the consequence of War, since WW2. We have a couple of generations, that have been CONSTANTLY at war, yet the civilians never felt it... because while the US Military was at war, the country, was not.
Except for 1975 - 1979? The US has had men in combat, since 1960.

She's fairly competent, actually, but I preferred other judges.
The fact that she left her husband of 30 years to go with this Democrat lawyer is pretty surprising. And just for the record, she wasn't all that bad looking a couple of years ago.
There has been a huge political war between the various branches of government in Utah for quite some time now. Unlike the federal level, our legislature is probably the most powerful branch... they are very activist and dominate the state. Which is probably what the Founders intended, to be frank.
Our governor is spineless: he blows with the wind. Some days he's hardcore right wing, some days even Mitt Romney calls him out as being too soft and squishy. Our court system is not at all liking being the sudden flashpoint of controversy, either... but they didn't shut down the "Democrat rule by lawfare" and now it's biting them in the butt. Hagan is just the latest thing to get people mad at the judges.

Ackshully... as designed in the Constitution, Congress is far and away the most powerful branch. The members are just to enamored with retaining 'power' to use it so they've made the Presidency almost all-powerful by saying that cabinet secretaries need to decide everything.
They could take back the power they're supposed to have in a heartbeat if the thought of losing their seats didn't wake them up at night in a cold sweat.

Funny you should mention it. Sixty years ago, the one and only youth gang scandal ever in my hometown, right there at the parochial high school, and the police didn't want to push it until shots were fired. The priest tried to keep it covered up.
The toughs were cruising "down into coontown" every weekend, looking for strays to hit with ball bats. Finally a shotgun came into play.

Kash Patel Slaps "Reporter" With $250 Million Defamation Lawsuit
I like the lawsuit, but, as That Guy always says, nothing's going to happen.
Judges are pretty determined that only leftwingers can be defamed.It sounds like an op, but then, a lot of people in politics drink really hard. Not as hard as "journalists," who tend to be alcoholics and pill-poppers, of course. Related:
FBI Director Kash Patel slapped The Atlantic and its reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick with a defamation lawsuit, after the outlet alleged in a report that he has a drinking problem that could pose a threat to national security. Filed on Monday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, the lawsuit, which seeks $250 million, claims the magazine's story, initially titled "Kash Patel's Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job," is "categorically false and defamatory." The Atlantic, which published its exposé on Friday, cited more than two dozen anonymous sources expressing concern at Patel's "conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences" that "alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice."
The story -- the title of which now reads, "The FBI Director Is MIA" -- reported that during Patel's tenure, the FBI had to reschedule early meetings "as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights" and that Patel "is often away or unreachable, delaying time-sensitive decisions needed to advance investigations." "Some of Patel's colleagues at the FBI worry that his personal behavior has become a threat to public safety," the article stated. The White House, the Department of Justice and Patel denied the allegations to the magazine. The article also quoted Patel as saying, "Print it, all false, I'll see you in court -- bring your checkbook." A rep for the magazine told The Post on Monday: "We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend 'The Atlantic' and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit." Patel's suit alleged that The Atlantic ignored the FBI's denials and did not respond to a Friday letter from his lawyer Jesse Binnall to senior editors and The Atlantic's legal department, asking for more time to refute allegations in 19 questions that Fitzpatrick sent White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. The journo's letter was sent shortly before 4 p.m. Friday and the story was published at 6:20 p.m. that day, according to the complaint. Lawyers for Patel claim that the Atlantic acted with "actual malice" -- a legal standard that requires public figures such as Patel to prove that the magazine publisher knowingly printed false information or recklessly ignored doubts about its accuracy. "Defendants' conscious decision to ignore the detailed, specific, and substantive refutations in the Pre-Publication Letter, and their refusal to give a reasonable amount of time for the FBI and Director Patel to respond, is among the strongest possible evidence of actual malice," the lawsuit stated.
Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_ 16h BREAKING: Newly declassified docs reveal former Washington Post reporter Shane Harris knew the identity of the anonymous impeachment "whistleblower" as early as Sept. 20, 2019, but chose to protect Eric Ciaramella, staying mum despite calling and texting with him; yet the WaPo phoned then-RealClearInvestigations editor Tom Kuntz to complain about RCI reporter Paul Sperry breaking the story exposing Ciaramella's identity and his pro-Biden background, Democrat bias and anti-Trump motives. A known Brennan shill and purveyor of the Russiagate hoax, Harris is now with the faithfully anti-Trump mag The Atlantic.

"Pennsylvania court overturns limits on Medicaid coverage for abortions
A Pennsylvania court ruled that the state's constitution guarantees a right to abortion, overturning a decades-long law that banned using Medicaid funds for abortion costs."

An interesting theory -- almost certainly true -- posits that alcohlism is a genetic trait that disappeared from populations (think Darwin Awards) award time -- but it takes thousnads of years for the trait to slowly fade from prevalence. And that alcohol fermentation first arose as a consequence of the appearance of agriculture, when people had leftover graisn they could ferment. So the longer you culture/civi,ization has had agriculture, the more time has passed for the alcoholism gene to eliminate itself from the population. So -- which are the cultures that started practicing agriculture last? Answer: North America, Africa, and (within Europe) Scandinavia. Snd -- what cultures have the highest prevalence of alcoholism? North America (i.e. Native American Indians), Africa, and Scandinavia.
Makes sense to me.

Saw three houses this morning. They were not as attractive as they seemed in their Realtor pics, lemme tell ya. One was nice, one was meh, one needed more work than the listing admitted to. The realtor lady tells me that in the price range I'm looking at, I'm not as likely to find a house with a garage as if I were willing to go $30-50K higher. Well, sure, but -- No way, Jose.

Goblin Greta Thunberg's "Freedom Flotilla" Was Actually a Sexual Misconduct Armada
Allegedly.
But we've seen enough rapes at lefty events to make that a soft "allegedly."LOL. People can't have sex while Palestinians are unhappy. So close to Pride Month, too!
They're going to need a bigger boat! Greta Thunberg's freedom flotilla, which set sail from Barcelona Sunday for another anti-Israel voyage to Gaza, has been rocked by scandal after one of its woke leaders was accused of "sexual misconduct" with at least three volunteers. "A senior leader within the flotilla -- a member of the steering committee, the highest governing body of the organization -- engaged in sexual relations with multiple activists while on the boat heading to Gaza. Not one person. Not two. Three different individuals," claimed Palestinian group Heart of Falastin in a social media post earlier this week. "To do it on the boat, while heading to a nation undergoing genocide, with volunteers who are under your authority . . . is a clear violation of ethics and power."
One Brazilian group named the alleged horndog as activist Thiago Avila, in an X post unearthed by media watchdog Honest Reporting and shared with The Post.The Paolo approves.
"On a ship carrying humanitarian aid, a Brazilian shows up with his d--k swinging and the only thing he manages to do is f--k and get arrested," Anti Esquerda Esquerda Club, a group that describes itself as criticizing the left from the left, wrote on X Tuesday, pointing the finger at Avila -- and referring to the Israeli Navy intercepting the flotilla and taking activists into custody.
... That tumultuous trip also saw her vessel's radio hacked to pump songs from the Swedish pop group ABBA on full blast in a clear troll at Thunberg.Well if ABBA's playing, a man just isn't responsible for his actions, is he?
... Avila, who left his wife and two-year-old daughter at home in Brazil to embark on what is now his fourth sailing trip since June -- having gone twice to Gaza and once to Cuba -- denied the accusations. "These allegations are obviously not true," he told The Post on WhatsApp Thursday while sailing off the coast of Spain. "The ethics committee talked to all three people mentioned and they confirmed that this is just a smear campaign, that we are comrades and nothing ever happened," he added, before embarking on a bizarre rant about the Epstein files.Well I don't really see any "misconduct" here besides the usual practice of left-wing men taking advantage of the loose morals of left-wing women. The fact that Babies Are Dying In Gaza!!1! doesn't make this a crime.

If your manner of transportation is called a "Flotilla" chances are that the ammenities of said "Flotilla" are not going to be focused on personal hygiene.
So, if you find it necessary to go banging on the boat, it is is in your best interest to bring a clothespin. Also, applying a strong menthol based balm immediately under the nostrils can be effective. In clarification...under your nostrils, not theirs.

I read the whole linked article. The real gripe seems to be that this "Heart of Falastin" group is pissed that the Avila-Thunberg group took in $3.5M in donations for this junket, and spent all the money on ... themselves.
Which sucks for Falastin (and the other whiners), because the $3.5M could have been given to them to be spent on ... themselves.

It is unclear how the NSA is currently using Mythos, however other organizations are using it primarily to scan their own environments for exploitable security vulnerabilities. The company has restricted access to Mythos to around 40 organizations - as the company says the model's offensive cyber capabilities are too dangerous for wider release. Axios notes further;
Anthropic only announced 12 of those organizations. One source said the NSA was among the unnamed agencies with access.
The NSA's counterparts in the U.K. have said they have access to the model through the country's AI Security Institute.
On Friday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss deploying Mythos within the government, as well as Anthropic's wider plans and security practices.

Bitcoin mining firm New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) is in the process of buying a shut down Alcoa plant, Massena East, in, get this, NY.
Built for 24/7 heavy industrial operations, aluminum smelters come with pre-existing substations, transmission lines and high-capacity grid connections. That makes them attractive targets for Bitcoin miners and data center operators, who often spend years securing similar infrastructure approvals from scratch.
Massena East also benefits from hydropower supplied by the New York Power Authority, a key draw for energy-intensive computing firms seeking low-cost and lower-carbon power sources.

Returning to port in Point Loma (San Diego area) one full-moonlit evening, when the water was glass-smooth (very unusual), there was a 30-ft or so sailboat anchored just a hundred yards or so east of the transit channel. It had the minimal rigging lamps lit, but was otherwise dark.
For some reason, it had a slight fore-and-aft motion of the hull. As the sea was glass-smooth, there was no sea state that would have had it bobbing this way.
As we passed, there was some discussion about the effects the sub's wake would have on the boat.
30 seconds or so after we passed, and the wake rocked the boat, sonar reported screw noised close aboard our starboard beam.

Iran-Linked Group Attacks Synogogue in the UK;
Keir Starmer Refuses to Ban the IRGC in Britain
In fairness, Keir Starmer can't even protect his own properties from arson by strangely-antagonistic gay Ukranian male model rent-boys.
The IRGC -- a notorious and inarguable world sponsor of terror -- continues operating in the UK with the full blessing of Starmer's illegitimate traitor-government.
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis
@chiefrabbi
Last night yet another synagogue, this time in Kenton, was targeted in a cowardly arson attack. It follows the attack in Finchley on Wednesday and the attempted attack on what was the Jewish Futures building in Hendon on Friday night, making three Jewish sites attacked in London in less than a week. A sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum. This sustained attack on our community's ability to worship and live in safety is an attack on the values that bind us all together. Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society.
Despite the fact that an Iran-linked terror group has already claimed responsibility, UK police are continuing to say they don't know if this is terrorism and (say it with me) The Motive May Never Be Known, Allah-Willing.
Arson attempt hits London synagogue; Iran-linked group claims attack
UK Chief Rabbi Mirvis: A 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community'; no injuries reported; counter-terror police investigating
A synagogue in northwest London was targeted in an arson attack overnight Sunday, officials said, in the latest in a string of assaults in recent weeks that Britain's chief rabbi called a "sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community." There was minor smoke damage to a room inside Kenton United Synagogue, the Community Security Trust (CST) said, after police and fire teams were called to the Jewish house of worship. A pro-Iranian government Islamist group, which says it is also behind a spate of attacks across Europe on US, Israeli and Jewish targets, said on Sunday afternoon that it was responsible for the overnight attack. UK counter-terrorism police, in the wake of the incident, said they were heading up investigations into the incidents. ... The newly founded Islamist group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), or Movement of the Companions of the Right Hand of Islam, said in a statement published on Telegram on Sunday afternoon that it had targeted Kenton United Synagogue because it is "one of the centers of Zionist influence in the British capital." The synagogue, it claimed, "holds ceremonies such as 'Shabbat for Israel,' and sings the so-called 'Hatikvah' anthem in support of the Israeli occupation." Among other perceived crimes, it said the synagogue had hosted relatives of one of the hostage soldiers abducted by Hamas in the terror group's October 7, 2023, attack. Identifying the synagogue's leadership by name, the group accused them of being "key instruments of this Zionist base in London." Separately, the UK’s The Sunday Times said the Islamist group has also claimed responsibility for a Friday night arson attack on a London building that was formerly used by a Jewish organization.
The IRGC murdered tens of thousands of people worldwide, but Keir Starmer refuses to recognise it as a terrorist organisation because he fears being called an “Islamophobe” and losing Muslim votes. https://t.co/Qf4OLQ7vUA

Fortunately, right now Labour is engaged in a circular firing squad. I’ll believe it when I see it, but word on the street is that Keir’s job may be in jeopardy (it is harder to eject a Labour PM than a Tory PM due to party rules). But they right now are eating their own, as they always do.

Remember the old saying: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety". Often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, it suggests that sacrificing freedom for security results in losing both.
Starmer thinks what he's doing will keep the Muslim vote, and it might, but they aren't so numerous yet that the real English won't turn against him and he'll end up losing office, while Labour ceases to be a viable Party.

Also, that none of this should be "run on". In other words, in a democracy, the "democrats" think that they should be able to stack the deck about how government power is exercised and who needs a public referendum on that?!!

It's more than that. Queer Starmer is worried about losing his head. Literally. He knows that Muslims react with murderous violence when they don't get their way.
As I've said 100x before, the reason Muslims have so much power no matter where they go is because of their well-deserved reputation for barbarism and violence, even against their own daughters. They're insane. People rightfully fear them.
Nobody fears Christians or Jews (or any other religion).

And the funny thing is this is a long term pattern - if you make elections about issues the right usually wins. If they are about nothing the left usually wins.
Gov Glenn Youngkin didn't actually do much as governor. So it was easy for the CIA agent to run as a nicer "I won't do anything" governor since she has the FNM behind her...

Of course its a conspiracy. Its not organic. There is clearly a drive towards erasing national boundaries, globalism, rule by bureaucrat committee. I mean, if you planned on taking over the world, wouldnt it be easier to have it all organized under one or maybe only a few governments instead close to 200??? I mean, seriously, I'm not gonna come out and try to wrangle that hot mess. No. Organize it into a nice pile or two tops. Then I'll come out to play.

It's atheism.
To put it shortly.
Although the modern "atheist" claims that it only means a disbelief in God or gods, it's hard to find many atheists who don't believe that "freewill" is an equally irrational religious view (even though "freewill" has long been a part of atheist theory.)
This illustrates that what is disbelieved increases. What is partitioned off as "irrationality" increases. Soon, what is "equality"?
I believe in one--and only one--basis of equality. And it doesn't follow me into a atheist, empirical context. And once we remove the "providence of God", we come to depend on the "scientific management" of as many of the masses as we can't fully get rid of yet.

By the way from Wikipedia-
"Blighty" is a British English slang term for Great Britain, or often specifically England. Though it was used throughout the 1800s in the Indian subcontinent to mean an English or British visitor, it was first used during the Boer War in the specific meaning of homeland for the English or the British. From World War I and afterward, that use of the term became widespread.
Etymology
The word ultimately derives from the Persian-derived Bengali word bilētī (or even from regional Hindustani language (i.e., Eastern Hindi) with the use of b replacing v/w), meaning 'foreign', which more specifically came to mean 'European', and 'British'/'English' during the time of the British Raj. The Bengali word bilētī is itself a loan of Indian Persian wilāyatī (ولایاتی
, from wilāyat (ولایت usually to mean 'Iran' and later 'the West', 'Europe' or 'Britain'/'England', ultimately from Arabic wilāyah (ولاية meaning 'state, province'.
The term subsequently gained an ironic connotation in its closeness to the English word blight, which means "epidemic."

One guy just posted he hit $1M in his investment accounts at 40 which is quite impressive. Two things stood out:
1) he mentioned in passing he's driving an old beater and doesn't really eat out. Yes, I know this infuriates many people in investment discussions but spending less and investing instead does make a difference over the long term
2) Someone else noted they thought if they had $1M invested they'd be "rich" and driving fancy cars and living in a mansion...well...thank Bidenflation...$1M in 2026 is worth about $500K in 2020...

Perhaps, but not disbelief that we can choose our behavior. That's what modern atheism is fast embracing--even though nobody ever said that "freewill" was a god.
Also, atheists are very confused these days, because "atheist theory" is really rather sloppy and hasn't improved much over the centuries.

Really? Was there any clarification on what they felt a fancy car was and what a mansion looks like? Because I suppose with some perspective this may look different than what you or I are thinking. But yeah, $1M invested doesn’t not get you up there in the Uber rich category.

Religion contains neither the rule that
1. God explains everything, and thus through that the religion, or
2. Man should be able to comprehend everything.
Especially not a religion that gives us the example of Job. When pressed by God about what Job knows about how the Lord created and patterns the universe said (basically) "I'm going to shut up now."
I'm just as curious about this answer as anyone on the other side may feign to be when asking it.
But it should be clear by now--in an empirical sense, that you cannot get the gains we got under Western Civilization by atheistic pessimism.

I remember in a discussion between Jordan Peterson and Alex O'Connor (lefty/atheist) the latter mentioned that yes, fine, western Christian societies have certainly been better then others in both subjective things like freedom and objective things like average person's wealth but...that doesn't mean their religion had anything to do with it
And its funny that Christianity just happened to accidently do that isn't it?
Especially if you assume religion isn't "real" you should look very, very carefully at what its value to society is. And frankly, everyone should want a Protest Christian religion even if they thing it is hogwash by its objective results...

There would be no purpose in God creating nothing that could not be something on its own. And so there is dumb matter and their is aware matter. And aware matter has at least a thread of control over its development.
So it is necessary by the logic of Creation, that God's foreknowledge of our actions does not determine those actions. Time manifests for our learning, so that we can see our elaboration of what we choose. We see ourselves forming over time. But God sees any shape we manifest.
Anything else, and life, I strongly believe, is almost equally as futile.

As a long-time methodological skeptic, I would actually indulge that skepticism as well.
We learn empirically what works and what doesn't. The speculation that we can just rip the Christian guts out of what we might agree works in that situation, is just that nothing but speculation.
Perhaps we can agree on 2 things. It is not decided that the Christian religion had everying to do with this. However, it's also perhaps not decidable that it didn't.
However, Christianity has the only theory where I would ever want somebody to refer to my "human worth". (tbc)

"Worth" is a word very similar in origin to the Latin root "vert", "to turn". And it's clear what it means in the marketplace: "turn around". Thus the "worth" of a commodity or a good is how much you're going to get from selling it.
"Human value" is no better because "val-" is an appreciation of relative strength. Thus nobody ever suggests outside of a completely theoretical sense that humans have "equal value".
There is only one event in the view of Western Civilization in which all of humanity was equally included into a single transaction, or redemption, at such a high cost that everyone should feel blessed by the price.
We, the Lord suggests, are "worth" 1 Son of God.

My home state is essentially a corporate fiefdom, with many congressional members of both parties owned by those conglomerates, bought-and-paid-for assholes who draft and vote on legislation in-line with whatever their biggest donors want them to vote for. This is why Indiana produces wishy-washy Establishment Republican politicians. This is what gave us the likes of Dick Lugar and Mike Pence. It gets me to this day that I should've seen through Pence early on but I didn't, probably because I had been friends with his cousins in high school and they were/are great people. It colored my judgement of the man.
