Cynical PubliusOf course: Some people have the right to commit felonies and you're a racist for disagreeing.
@CynicalPublius America was nearly lost to a cabal of NGOs, think tanks, foundations, specialty media organizations, compromised mainstream media organizations, quasi-governmental organizations and all other manner of other well-funded (often with taxpayer dollars) players dedicated to preserving extra-governmental controls over the average American, all outside the scope of what Americans vote for. The men and women behind these organizations claim to want to benevolently advance public policy, when in reality their singular purpose is to maintain and grow the nefarious personal power they have achieved. Above all else they must defend their fiefdoms, the good of the nation be damned. When reformers try to undo any part of this cabal, those reformers are inevitably smeared, libeled, slandered and threatened. The goal is to prevent them from engaging in that necessary reform by intimidating them into silence. Food for thought.
Andy NgoArticle here. Speaking of people allowed to commit felonies with impunity: "Big Tish" James.
@MrAndyNgo 37m A BLM leader who was named the "Bostonian of the Year" has been ordered to pay back $224k of donations she stole after being convicted in a sweetheart deal. Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to 18 crimes but was not sent to prison. She is among a long list of BLM and leftist fraudsters who became rich on white guilt and lies.
The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has again referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, proffering allegations that New York's top cop may have falsified information on her homeowner's insurance application. ... In a letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Quinones, Pulte points to a court exhibit, an application for home insurance submitted to Ft. Lauderdale-based Universal Property Insurance, which appears to show that James claimed her Norfolk, Virginia home would be unoccupied for five months out of the year. However, James' niece reportedly told the grand jury that she was living rent-free in the home. The niece Nakia Thompson lived there for five years while she was wanted in North Carolina for failing to complete her probation, The New York Post reported. "[It] appears Ms. James made false representations that her property would be unoccupied five months out of the year," Pulte wrote. "According to the post, this was false. The house was, in fact, occupied year-round by her niece." In a separate letter to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Pulte says that one court document shows that James appears to have claimed to Allstate, which is based in that state, that her Virginia home would only be occupied by one individual, when public reporting indicates her niece lived there with three children. "[It] appears Ms. James made representations that the house would be occupied by a single adult, with no children. Instead, according to the post, she knew the house was actually occupied by four people - three children and her niece," Pulte wrote to U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros. "As such, it appears Ms. James may have defrauded the Illinois-based insurance company. We kindly request you authenticate and investigate this matter, if you deem appropriate," Pulte added.You may say this is a ticky-tack violation that is really about two parties entering a commercial transaction and that the proper punishment, if any is needed, would consist of the aggrieved party suing the other. But that's exactly the bullshit that "Big Tish" charged Donald Trump with -- overestimating the value of his properties as collateral in seeking a loan from Deutsche Bank. (Deutsche Bank -- Nazis!)_ And she claimed that that violation was worth, checks notes, a half-billion dollar penalty for "defrauding" Deutsche Bank in a loan that Trump paid back without incident. Chuck Schumer says he doesn't oppose asking for photo ID at the ballot box, just... proof of citizenship. Well, our cuck Senators tested his claim out and proposed an amendment requiring photo ID (but no proof of citizenship). All Democrats voted against it, of course.
Washington -- An amendment that would require voters to show photo identification to cast a ballot failed to advance in the Senate on Thursday, despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying last week that Democrats were not opposed to such a requirement. The amendment to the elections bill needed 60 votes to advance. It was defeated in a 53 to 47 vote. The vote came during the second week of a marathon debate over a controversial elections bill known as the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and certain forms of photo ID to cast a ballot. The legislation does not have enough support to clear the 60-vote threshold in the upper chamber, but President Trump has dialed up the pressure on Senate Republicans to find a way to force it through. Schumer condemned the amendment on Thursday before the vote, arguing it would "impose the single strictest voter ID law in America." "This radical amendment would toss out every single voter ID requirement in all 50 states for federal elections and put in an overly restrictive, one-size-fits-all approach," the New York Democrat said. GOP Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio offered the amendment, which lists valid forms of photo ID as a driver's license, state-issued identification, passport, military ID or tribal ID. "The types of IDs that are sitting in wallets right now, that the American people use on a regular basis," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said in a floor speech Wednesday. Ahead of the vote, Husted called the amendment "clean, simple, straightforward," adding that there are "no additional restrictions, no tricks, no games, no prohibition on absentee voting."

It's existential. They've go so far overboard because they knew they had fraud in place and would never answer to voters again. Now they have to stick it out to the bitter end. None of them won honest elections, so it doesn't matter how much support they lose. They have to hold the line till the midterms, but even that is risky because "Election Month" is going to be gone, and there will be actual federal oversight.
Plus losing candidates can sue and do discovery. So even if they hold the line, they still might suffer historic losses beyond the cheat. This is also why they want ICE to stop and keep robitically demanding the ICE promise to stay away from polling places.

Olympics Committee: We Are Reserving Women's Sports For -- and This is a Genuine Twist -- Women
The policy actually isn't 100% solid. They say that men will be excluded from women's sports -- again, what an innovation -- in sports involving "strength, power, and endurance."
So that means that transgenders would be allowed to compete in... like shooting sports and ice-dancing, maybe? Whatever. I'm linking ESPN/AP because their tears are so unfathomly delicious.They're all crying about that -- that this policy aligns with the Bad Orange Man's executive order, so, of course, this is a corrupt decision made by cowards who Hate Transwomen and want to Erase Their Existence. I just turned into Pinhead the Cenobite. Your pain, your pain is exquisite!
GENEVA -- Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy Thursday that aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
How I howl in ecstasy! Your excrutiations thrill me to the marrow!
"Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females," the International Olympic Committee said, to be determined by a mandatory gene test once in an athlete's career.
I just leveled up this Lament Configuration. I unlocked the Drink the Blood of Your Soul Achievement.
It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level. No woman who transitioned from being born male competed at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, though weightlifter Laurel Hubbard did at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 without winning a medal. The eligibility policy that will apply from the L.A. Olympics in July 2028 "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category," the IOC said.
Like that Iranian boxer who had a Y chromosome but claimed he was a woman because his genitals were improperly formed? How delicious! Your cries for mercy echo sweetly in my ears!
"It is not retroactive and does not apply to any grassroots or recreational sports programs," said the IOC; its Olympic Charter states that access to play sport is a human right. After an executive board meeting, the IOC published a 10-page policy document that also restricts women athletes such as two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya with medical conditions known as differences in sex development, or DSD.
ohhh ahhhh ooooh I just made a mess on my Lament Configuration. Is it supposed to buzz and blink? I think I broke the hellgate. I'm still "game," if you know what I mean. But there's no way I can go again. This isn't college. Wait -- what's this? An article from NPR! Let's see if they can "inspire" me!
The IOC and its president, Kirsty Coventry, have wanted a clear policy instead of continuing to advise sports' governing bodies, which previously have drafted their own rules. "At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat," Coventry, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, said in a statement. "So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category."
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will ban transgender athletes from competing in women's events, based on the results of mandatory genetic screening.MANDATORY GENETIC SCREENING! WHOOO, REFRACTORY PERIOD BE GONE! I'M FLYING LIKE AN ENGORGED HELLBAT AGAIN!
The topic of transgender participation in sports -- from school teams to the world stage -- has been a cultural flashpoint in recent years, though it's unclear how many transgender women currently compete at the Olympic level.Ah, we went from "it's not happening" to "it's good that it's happening" and now back to "it's not happening" again. They were forced to retreat. Every nerve in my body is ringing like a guitar string strummed by a Heavy Metal Godling.
Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard made history as the first openly transgender woman to do so in Tokyo in 2021, though no woman who transitioned after being assigned male at birth is known to have participated in an Olympics since. Nevertheless, controversy ballooned in Paris 2024 when right-wing politicians and commentators called into question the sexes of two female boxers who had been previously disqualified from boxing world championships after failing eligibility tests. One of them was cleared for competition after approval last week, while the other -- who has repeatedly identified herself as a cisgender woman -- is challenging the World Boxing testing requirement in court.I like how they refuse to say why this person would object to a genetic test. You can tell from implication, but they cannot bring themselves to write it out. SING! SING TO ME OF YOUR BLESSED DAMNATION!
Um, what about the court that found the Iranian boxer was indeed a male? Just because you refuse to say it doesn't mean that it's not true.
While the accusations were not proven true, they sparked a global debate over gender eligibility and prompted the IOC to begin the review that led to this policy. The IOC says the new rule is based on scientific evidence and "protects fairness, safety and integrity in the female category."
But experts say the testing raises a multitude of concerns.EXPERTS! EXPERTS! AH YES, WHAT I WAS MISSING WAS "EXPERTS!" I'VE GOT THE LAMENT CONFIGURATION IN FUCKED-UP POSITIONS IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED FOR!
There are questions about the reliability and cost of the testing...LOL, the most basic blood test in the world is unfair because of "costs." This is like when they claim you can't tell someone's a dude without "reaching under her skirt and feeling her genitals." Um, yeah, except athletes have to routinely take blood tests to show they're not taking performance enhancing drugs. That blood can be tested cheaply for chromosomes as well. Your anguish is intoxicating. I just started a Tumblr account under the name "PIN-DADDY."
...as well as the interpretation and finality of its results.We have to "interpret" the results of a test that has two possibilities: XX chromosomes or XY. There's so much line-drawing needed! It's like a Rorschach test -- you only see what you bring to it!
Critics of the policy say it invades the privacy of all women, and that it discriminates against intersex people whose reproductive or sexual anatomy do not fit binary definitions of male or female.I JUST BECAME A 20th-LEVEL CENOBITE I CAN NOW SUMMON HELLDRAGONS WITH A MAGIC WHISTLE AND THAT WHISTLE IS THIS REPORTER'S SKULL
Yeah but it mostly affects the male "women athletes," wouldn't you say? Not so much the female women athletes. Whew! That was hot. That was sexual fire, baby. Now I have to clean this puzzle box off and get it back to Pinhead before he realizes it's missing.
And even though the IOC says its policy does not apply to "grassroots or recreational" sports programs, some experts told NPR they fear it could affect more than just Olympic hopefuls. "If a woman suspects that she might not pass this screening, she might be deterred from pursuing sport altogether," said Jaime Schultz, a sports historian and professor of kinesiology at Pennsylvania State University. "It doesn't just affect the people that are being tested, but it affects all women athletes."

So far, we only know about the “out and proud” freaks who brag about being born male but “transitioning” to women. They are the stupid ones. The smart ones keep their heads down, their dicks tucked, and never let on they’re men.

"Women" don't suddenly decide to "pursue sport" and compete in the Olympics. Most of those people at the Olympics started pursuing sport at 3-5 years of age. We call 3-5 year old females, "girls." At that age, they're not deciding to pursue sport based on whether or not they can pass some genetic test at the Olympics.
IF they show ridiculous promise, they're going to look for a high level coach, and that coach is most likely going to cost many orders of magnitude more than a genetic test.

That scene is on youtube and I just rewatched it. Although the big man gets the most quotable lines, the most chilling IMO is the cenob-ette who responds to Kirsty. She's panicked because she's just summoned these fiends, to remove the undead child molester who has escaped hell.

In Hellraiser II Pinhead explicitly lets the young woman who opened the box off the hook. She was simply acting as a conduit for the psychologist who was "treating" her.
HE'S the one who really wanted to experience the pleasures of the box...and his wish was granted in typical Cenobite fashion.

I was, secretly, hoping that just about every female World and Olympic record would be compromised by the cosplaying males who couldn't make it competing against their own sex. It's hard to prolong an interest in women's sports. But, I'd watch an entire race if some guy trashed the whole field and then pretends that it's perfectly normal. It's good for my self-esteem to realize just how may retards are running around out there.

During 'A Serbian Film' yesterday, full 144 minute version. I started thinking they were trying too hard - doing things even muslims wouldn't do. It was like Hollywood film-makers doing their best to piss off Catholics imagining the big box-office dollars.
Later, I was reading up on it and that was the point of the film. They were protesting EU censorship and how only 'nice' Serbian movies would get funding. So they made the most offensive movie possible. But if you figure it out or know why, much less disturbing.

Yep, goes back a while. Because my eyesight was particularly bad, I never got issued any by the Army. They were always on back order. Of course, as anyone will tell you, they are completely ineffective, especially as the weeks of coed basic training wear on.

The first one goes in.
"Father, I've committed an impure act with one of my female classmates."
"Was it Bridget Flaherty?"
"I'm sorry, Father. I can't say."
"Was it Maureen O'Shaughnessy?"
"I'm sorry, Father. I can't say."
"Was it Caitlin Murphy?"
"I'm sorry, Father. I can't say."
"What you did was wrong, but I do admire your loyalty. Pray the rosary 10 times, and I'm not going to let you help at Mass for a month."
The altar boy leaves. His companions ask "What did you get?"
"A month off and three good prospects."

What I really enjoyed was The Argument I Would Always Win But People Wanted To get Into Anyway. It went like this: I was told that I needed gas mask inserts. I said "No, I can see fine without them. My vision is impaired on one side, when I am not wearing glasses I rely on the one good eye." (Truth.) I am then told that I WILL WEAR MY GAS MASK INSERTS OR ELSE. I say again "You are wasting taxpayer's money. Don't make them for me. I can see fine. If I can't I will let you know immediately." This goes back and forth for however long...
And eventually I hear "yeah, it has been determined your vision isn't bad enough to warrant inserts." Me: "Toldya".

They can complain all they want but when it comes to women-type things (fashion, beauty standards, education, social power, feminism, etc.) white Western women have been leading the way around the world for a few millennia now, at least back to the Greeks & Romans.
Only recently have East Asian & African-American women had any influence world-wide. That's mostly thanks to K-Pop, J-Pop and Hip-Hop & Rap and those ladies are copying and iterating on Western female standards themselves.

From John Konrad's excellent X essay on anger:
The great irony: people consuming and sharing these shortcuts believe they're saving time and thought. They end up consumed by it. The shortcut doesn't conserve cognitive energy. It injects a slow-burning emotional cost that has to be serviced continuously. You have to keep feeding the assumption. Keep reinforcing the story. Keep the anger alive, because if it dies, you'd have to go back and actually read those three pages of policy analysis you skipped.

Yeah, so in addition to not getting BCGs, I also didn't get inserts. So putting on my pro mask left me effectively blind, lost in a world of blurs. During the FTX, we're moving through the woods and we hit a place where there was a small fire, all blackened and we stop, turn to the drill sergeant who says nothing, and then we all are like "GAS! GAS! GAS!" and fumble for our masks, and now I'm blind, and have to hang on something LBE strap as we stumbled forward to the other side. Finally the drill sergeant is able to stop laughing long enough to shout "ALL CLEAR!"

"Hellraiser
is widely regarded as a queer horror classic, rooted in the sensibility of its openly gay creator, Clive Barker, and his exploration of kinky, transgressive sexuality. The franchise is celebrated for incorporating sadomasochistic themes, queer subtext, and breaking heteronormative standards, rather than focusing on a single gay character"
In the 2022 Hellraiser reboot, Pinhead was portrayed by trans actress Jamie Clayton to honor the androgynous, non-binary, and ethereal nature of the Cenobites in Clive Barker's original novella, The Hellbound Heart. The filmmakers wanted to create a fresh, "darker" interpretation, separating the new performance from Doug Bradley’s iconic male portrayal.

I had a massive screwup in basic that I now look back on and laugh. There was a small brick building filled with tear gas… we all had to go in with our gas masks… well I didn’t properly seal mine so after 5 seconds in there I can’t breathe…. I panic and run for the door. The drill sargent tries to block me but I’m so panicked I just run right over him in my desperation to breathe. He didn’t even punish me…. He looked at me on my knees retching and probably figured that was punishment enough. I laugh now but it wasn’t funny in the moment. Moral of the story - Seal your gas mask properly stupid!

By 2000 the big issue was cadre sleeping with trainees, and they had all sorts of rules about not touching trainees at all, instead directed other privates to adjust gear. The females had their own floor, which was on the top floor in the previous cycle, but they lowered bedsheets down and they guys climbed up during the night and got freaky. They were dimed out by the one chick who couldn't find a date.
During my cycle they had to Article 15 a few couples, but the smart ones waited until we were in the woods, though that sex would have been gruesome after a road march and sleeping in a hole.

Fabulous! That is one worthless twat right there. Fat woman with a beard, assumes the world owes her respect, finds out you have to earn it. Maybe if she had learned that earlier, like, from her parents, she wouldn't be a bearded freak now.
I appreciate how very patient everyone was with her. No reason they should have been, except for manners, which she clearly lacked.

The 83-Year-Old Veteran Pushed Into the Subway Tracks by an Illegal Alien With a Long Criminal History Has Now Died of His Injuries
You defended our country, but our country refused to defend you. He wasn't actually hit by a subway -- another man was also pushed into the subway tracks, and he ignored his own pain to get the 83-year-old veteran on to the platform before a train could run them over. But when an 83-year-old takes a headlong fall into a seven foot trench filled with hard steel tracks, he's probably not going to survive. This happened in Manhattan -- Soros DA Alvin Bragg's fiefdom.The 83-year-old US Air Force veteran who was randomly shoved onto the subway tracks by an illegal migrant on the Upper East Side has died from his injuries -- and his alleged killer has been charged with murder. Grandfather Richard Williams succumbed to his injuries March 17 after he was allegedly pushed onto the tracks with another man while waiting for a train at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station just before noon March 8, authorities and sources said. His alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 at a homeless shelter -- and his charges have been upgraded to second-degree murder following Williams' death, court records show.Second-degree murder in NY is the equivalent of first degree murder in most jurisdictions. They reserve first degree murder for murders of cops and judges and public officials. It's not great, but this isn't the second degree murder you're probably thinking of.
Maybe the two men thrown in front of a subway by a serial criminal illegal alien were just in the "wrong place at the wrong time"? Regarding the Chicago Alderman who said that Sheridan Gorman was "in the wrong place at the wrong time," minimizing the fact that an illegal alien who actually was in the wrong place -- get the f*** out of my country -- murdered her for nothing. This Alderwoman claimed Sheridan Gorman "startled" her killer. See, she shouldn't go startling illegal aliens out hunting co-eds. The onus was on her to not startle the illegal alien.
Prosecutors had said Williams was "brain-dead," and Williams' daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to pull through. The medical examiner declared his death a homicide. John Pena, 30, was also shoved onto the tracks by Hernandez but ignored his own injuries and heroically helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before a train rolled into the station. Chilling cellphone footage of the attack, apparently shot by Pena from the train tracks, shows the suspect casually strolling along the platform after pushing both men onto the subway bed. Prosecutors had previously said Williams was left "brain-dead" and his daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to "wake up." She declined to comment Thursday on her father's death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide. Williams' daughter previously had some choice words for the accused murderer. "I want him to go to the Venezuela prison, the worst place he could go to," she said. "I want him to suffer for the rest of his life. Prison justice would be appropriate." Williams, a retired Air Force pilot, had just won a five-year battle with prostate cancer six months ago and had found a new lease on life, she said.
... Hernandez is a "serial criminal" with a lengthy rap sheet of at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.

While I don't completely condone that I understand why & so should she. When you say that someone killed by an illegal alien was at the wrong place & wrong time & that the community is safe despite the killer not caught by police at the time then you should expect ppl to be angry.

@julie_kelly2 A shattered family from New York is trying to figure out how to get their daughter's body back home from Chicago after she was executed by an illegal. A wife is in labor right now without her husband by her side because he was killed in a fire set by a repeat criminal in Chicago. Dozens of "teens" terrorized parts of the city last night. Pay attention to what state and city leaders--especially those who think they can run Chicago--are talking about and posting on social media. If you see meaningless posts about snow plows, March Madness, and e-scooters, you have a right to be furious at their cowardice, their fecklessness, and even worse, their inhumanity at this moment.

HOWEVER, now the same people who insisted on this "police state" act are demanding that they be removed because an overwhelming majority of the offenders identified and documented turned out to be immigrants (people holding more melanin in their skin that hometown residents).

You also reduce your costs, because I have little doubt each and every one is a burden on city welfare services. My guess is you'll save $20 million a year.

Not true. I used to do criminal sentencing work and the fact is that illegals got it easy for a long time now despite federal criminal charges. They often got undeserved downward departures from the federal sentencing guidelines because they and their families would get deported otherwise.
Ended up in a weird quirk where Hispanics did best under the Federal Sentencing Regulations than any other demographic because of it. Most of the charges were related to drug dealing.

Once that happens, the impeachments will follow, and the media will trumpet the effort to marginalize Trump 24/7.
Many Americans, mostly those that still watch the "news" will tire of the circus and simply unplug from current events.
This will serve the purposes of the Democrats as an uninformed, ignorant electorate is exactly what they need to pursue their power grab.
And the Project 2029 will proceed to band sites like this one, make opposition to the Progressive Agenda a "hate crime" and the American Experiment will follow Spain, England and the rest of Europe into a new Dark Age.
We will look back at 2025/2026 as the last gasp of any real freedom and liberty.

The Democrat system in Chicago used to be embedded with Capone and Mafia cronies. That changed now to ethnic criminal gangs and the gangs go free because they support their local Dems in office, many gang members are often loosely employed by them via grants, etc., The gangs do the dirty for the Dems like vote fraud, ballot harvesting, fake registrations, intimidation, etc. so that the gangs can do their drug dealing, etc. without hindrance from the cops.

You ask one of these thugs who just beat the crap out of some elderly person, "how would you like it if someone did that to you?"
They answer, "nobody did that to me."
They literally can't envision the hypothetical. It's beyond what their brain can do.

Anarcho-tyranny.
That's exactly what they're planning. The commies want the retarded illegals to stay because they think they're going to be their foot soldiers in the civil war against the normies when they kick it off. It will probably work in the big blue cities where the judicial system is already owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Marxists.
But, as someone once said, try that in a small town. See how far you make it down that road.

The government builds more houses and pays for them.
Oh, here is another fun one. I saw a news story go by arguing that the reason housing was affordable in the past is that it let people build triple deckers and other cheap crowded housing anywhere and the question was why can't we just do it now? And the answers, from other liberals were hilarious:
1) That violates the Americans with Disability Act! I can't climb two flights of stairs!
2) I really don't think that would fit in with my parent's suburban neighborhood and its already too crowded here anyway

I did not see that thread, but I've seen plenty of evidence. What blew my mind was one guy, I think the judge was trying to explain the seriousness of the offense to him, why he was being sentenced the way he was. I forget what it was, so imagine it was something like driving drunk, speeding, at night, blowing stoplights, on the wrong side of the street, and the judge was trying to explain that IF someone HAD BEEN going the other way, he WOULD HAVE caused a brutal head-on collision. And he simply couldn't grasp it. "But I didn't hit nobody!"
He could get up, get dressed, and even drive a car (badly). But he couldn't grasp unactualized endangerment, because to him the counterfactual was a lie, not a hypothetical that COULD HAVE happened. Literally retarded, and behind the wheel, armed (with a motor vehicle) and dangerous.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that the illegal population in the US is about 40,000,000. biden let in over 15,000,000 that they admitted to. Pretty sure they were not counting the ones that just walked across the border in that number, that is probably another 5 million.
Add that to the estimated 20 million that were already here and we have about 40 million illegals living in this country. We are talking well over 10% of our population is illegals and they consume a tremendous amount of public welfare benefits.

Operation Sorry, Charlie: Reports Claim Israel Packs Explosives Into Canned Tuna Intended for Revolutionary Guards Forces, Kills At Least Five, Injures Dozens, Puts Many Off Fish Forever
Iran's winning so much they're getting tired of all the winning!
Before the Food-Borne Illness Attack: Iran's Naval chief, in charge of shutting down the Strait of America and harassing ships and killing people for the past decade has himself been"opened" by Israeli missiles.
The elite Iranian naval commander who authorized the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to ship traffic was killed in an Israeli airstrike along with the service's top intelligence official, the Jewish state's military announced Thursday. Alireza Tangsiri, leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N), was eliminated in an overnight strike on the fleet's home port of Bandar Abbas, Defense Minister Israel Katz said during a morning assessment alongside military officials. Tangsiri, 64, became the latest high-profile Iranian official to have been rubbed out after the assassinations earlier this month of IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini, the regime's de facto leader Ali Larijani, and Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of the paramilitary Basij forces. Katz said the strike was meant to send a "message" to the IRGC: "The IDF will hunt you down and eliminate you one by one." In a separate statement, Adm. Brad Cooper, the leader of US Central Command (CENTCOM), said Tangsiri's death "makes the region safer" and called on members of the IRGC-N to "immediately abandon their post and return home to avoid further risk of unncecessary injury or death." "Since the commencement of Operation Epic Fury, 92% of the large ships in the Iranian Navy have been eliminated," Cooper noted. "As a result, IRGC-N has completely lost their ability to project power in the Middle East or around the world. Now, with the loss of their long-time leader, the IRGC-N is on an irreversible decline."The media will be quick to celebrate this, as it only proves that Drumpf! and his Puppet-Master Netanyahu are "getting desperate" and are isolated because they "have no Iranians left to lie to."
Iran International English
@IranIntl_En 9h An official from Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the minimum age for participation in war-related support roles has been lowered to 12, according to remarks aired on state media. Rahim Nadali, a cultural official with the Guards in Tehran, said an initiative called "For Iran" was recruiting participants to assist with activities such as patrols, checkpoints and logistics. "Given that the age of those coming forward has dropped and they are asking to take part, we lowered the minimum age to 12," he said, adding that 12- and 13-year-olds could now take part if they wished. The comments were broadcast as part of state coverage of the war effort. The move comes despite Iran's commitments under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibits the use of children in military activities.

Now, for the food can attack. Only five are known to be dead, but that number may rise. "Dozens" were injured by the exploding cans. I can't confirm this, and no "reputable" media (LOL) has confirmed it. But Mahyar Tousi ran it, and that's good enough for me. This account, which seems to be an Iranian propaganda site, accidentally confirms the attack, even though they make up stories about US and Israeli warplanes "dropping" the cans of explosive tuna on to poor civilians. Sure. We're dropping cans of fucking tuna out of bombers. Sure.
American and Israeli warplanes carried out a new attack in parts of southern Iran by dropping explosive devices disguised as food cans over civilian areas in Shiraz, killing several residents and injuring others. According to field reports, the devices were released over the southern outskirts of Shiraz, particularly around Kafri village, where several civilians were killed. The attack came after the enemy's failure to achieve its objectives through earlier military strikes, in what local sources described as a blind and criminal act targeting populated areas. The suspicious objects were described as resembling ready-made food cans and being slightly larger than standard tuna tins. The devices contain explosive material and are designed to detonate when opened or handled, making them especially dangerous to unsuspecting civilians. Videos circulating on social media show urgent warnings instructing residents not to approach, touch, or attempt to open the objects. Citizens have been strongly advised to keep a safe distance, avoid gathering near any suspicious device, and immediately report its exact location to security and intelligence authorities.The explosive cans of tuna are designed to blow up if "opened or handled," but they... did not blow up after being dropped from bombers to the ground?
A video which some claim ran on Iran state TV and others claim is unverified from unknown sources shows them safely exploding one of the cans.

A couple of days ago, some Iranian cocksucker mullah was whining about how the Americans and Joos won't come down and fight face to face, like men.
Reminds me of Pappy Boyington flying against the Japanese. They got on the radio once and in perfect English and procedure asked for his position (trying to set him up for an ambush). He gave them the position, but altered so that Pappy and his pilots could themselves spring an ambush. Next day, the Japs tried again, but he couldn't resist laughing. The Jap intel officer got frustrated and told him "well, why don't you come down here, tough guy?"
Pappy did. Flew down alone and strafed the shit out of the airfield, and transmitted "Okay, I came down to you. Why don't you come up to meet ME." The Japs declined.

I remember 1985, 86, 87 when Russia was accused of dropping toys and other objects that could explode in the hands of Afghans, especially children.
Ukraine has been accused of such in its war with Russia.
There have been child soldiers in all the Great Wars; unfortunately in so very many wars.
Vietnam with its trip bombs & other weapons with women & children engaged in fighting.
Even now, Africa accounts for approximately 40% of the world’s child soldiers, with tens of thousands of boys and girls recruited by armed groups and government forces in nations like South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Often abducted or driven by poverty, these children serve as combatants, messengers, and lookouts. (AI Overview)

If memory serves, Frey basically fired Felder because the Eagles were playing an Alan Cranston fund raiser and Felder had the audacity to mention that it'd probably be better not to mix music with politics. At least, that's the way I remember it.

As I recall the circs, while still in CCR Foggerty sold rights to all his hits to manager/producer Zantz and after sobering up (somewhat) regretted it. After he went solo, for years he would not play any of the aforementioned hits. In his first solo album, Foggerty included a piece, "Vanz kant danz." Zantz sued for ldefamation and won. Zantz also sued for copyright violation for another song on that album, claiming it was a steal from "Run Through the Jungle," that Zantz owned by that time. Foggerty won that case.

The background is that Life was marketed as "good for you," and the two kids assumed that meant it tasted like shit. So they fed it to Mikey because neither of them want to try it. The punchline is that if a kid who "hates everything" likes a healthy cereal, then it must taste great.

Seriously. I pretty much liked all cereal as a kid. Wheaties, Life, Captain Crunch, Corn Flakes, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, even Grape-nuts. Kix I never understood. Even with sugar, all the sugar did was enhance the nothingness of the flavor, and the texture was neither crunch nor soft.
Wasn’t there a peanut butter Kix at some point, though? I seem to recall that was decent.

Henley was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and drug possession, eventually pleading no contest, receiving a $2,500 fine, and serving two years of probation.
While Henley claimed he did not know the girl's age and had no sexual contact with her, the incident involved a prostitute who had overdosed, leading to a media frenzy.
Incident Date: November 20-21, 1980
Charges: Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of cocaine, Quaaludes, and marijuana
Outcome: Two years probation, $2,500 fine, drug diversion program

I think he said the cost for opening a "school" was $800. You paid $800, "self-certified" yourself as qualified, and you could start "training" drivers.
Oh, and of course they ignored the law requiring English language proficiency for drivers.🚨 CABINET MEETING SHOCKER 🚨⁰⁰Pete Buttigieg allowed trucking schools to SELF-CERTIFY that they were qualified to train drivers!! @POTUS’ administration is ending the ROT and taking DANGEROUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKERS off the road 🚫🚛 pic.twitter.com/t482f0ZFuK

But by some estimates, there are over 20,000 of them in the country. There are at least 16,000 "registered" ones.
That is an insane amount of CDL schools. By contrast, there are only about 5,000 colleges in the country. And those colleges have 20 million or so students enrolled. There are only about 3.5 million CDL truck drivers in the country.
So there are 4x as many CDL schools serving a small fraction of the students as colleges are. What possible reason could there be for this? This is a yuge scandal in and of itself.

It's a merge onto a freeway frontage road, where the road is 1 lane and the incoming lane gets it's own continuing lane. There's a sign there that shows one lane becoming 2 lanes, so you don't have to yield or stop, you can just drive in your continuing lane.
People stop there ALL THE TIME if there's a vehicle in the other lane.
Drives me nuts. You need more than ONE LANE to continue onto the now 2 lane road?

I don't know about all of the other CDL schools but when I started my class there were about 30 of us. When we finished there were 8 left.
Granted my school was legitimate and actually did the crazy stuff like drug and alcohol testing on an almost daily basis and made us pass the state mandated driving test 3 times before they would certify us to take the actual state road test.
I am not sure how a fake CDL school can get a person a CDL unless the state in engaged in some serious kick backs or fraud.

So what did the wealthy leftist town do? They get a half a dozen stoplights placed on the main artery that passed through their town so traffic stopped to a crawl for the 1 or 2 cars going the other way at those lights.
But this only worked for so long...when GPS came out guess what it directly me and everyone else to do? Drive through the side roads in their town.
Oh the fun! Suddenly it became a problem that people were stuck in gridlock...in their town instead of on the outskirts. Walking the dog or driving to Starbucks was now no longer a simple affair.

Ace, I listened to Duffy and think he was talking about the cost of the CDL license from these sham schools, not the cost of opening a school. That is consistent with other reporting that you could pay $800 to $1,200 to one of these "schools," and they hand you a certificate that you are qualified for CDL.
$800 for a CDL course is itself a red flag. Reputable CDL schools charge 5x to 10x more than that.

"Halle, who also ran Hillary Clinton’s 2016 battleground-state strategy, has impeccable connections to the Democratic establishment and extensive experience working on major campaigns. His hire is the latest in a steady drumbeat of big names that Buttigieg has brought on, with the campaign telling Axios to expect other personnel announcements in the coming days."

Family tries to stop; government refuses. 9) Apparently tried to stop/delay execution. Gov said, No, because her organs are already promised for harvesting, and the slaughter has to happen now. 10) Government butchers her and takes her organs for someone more deserving.Posted by: Gorthanc at March 26, 2026 03:39 PM (8Q86n)

Trans Illegal Alien Rapes 14-Year-Old Boy, Gets Sweetheart Deal for No Jail Time from Soros DA who Persecuted Trump (and of course Probably Won't Even Be Deported)
Why won't you let him breathe, Bigot?An illegal trans immigrant admitted Tuesday to molesting a 14-year-old boy inside the bathroom of a Manhattan bodega last year -- but won't have to do any more time behind bars. Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian immigrant who was born male, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape in Manhattan Supreme Court for sexually assaulting the teen in East Harlem last year and was promised a sentence of just six months -- which has already been served.That is, he was held in jail pre-trial, and the judge sentenced him to "time served" already -- meaning, he waltzes out of the courtroom, free to rape another child.
And of course the Soros DA will attempt to hide him from ICE.
That means the creep will be free to go at sentencing on April 27 -- unless federal immigration agents are there to slap on the cuffs again to deport them.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said the resolution was reached in close consultation with the victim's family, sparing the teenager from having to testify to both the grand jury and over several days at trial. "We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction," a spokesperson for the DA's Office said in a statement.We'll see. So this is one of those Mostly Peaceful illegal aliens who didn't commit any crimes before raping a child. Well, he committed a whole bunch of "non-violent" crimes, but illegal aliens are allowed to commit those, right?
Robbery is theft by force or coercion -- mugging with a gun, for example --and I imagine the gun charges are related to the robbery. But non-violent, I'm sure. Maybe it wasn't "rape-rape"...? Nope, the boy ran out of the bathroom after his rape and screamed for help:
Suarez, who was already wanted in Massachusetts on robbery, prostitution, and weapons charges, followed the teenager into a bodega across the street from Thomas Jefferson Park on Feb. 11, 2025, and raped him, according to prosecutors.
It's unbelievable. And if you think the Soros DA will honor that detainer, you're a more trusting soul than I am.
The young victim flagged down bystanders after the attack. Suarez was arrested the next day and charged. Officials at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement later obtained a detainer to take the sex fiend into custody for deportation once the criminal case is done. "This creep should've never been released into our country," Tricia McLaughlin, then-Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary, said in a statement after the arrest.

When Loudoun had its Soros hag, a family I know went through this on a murder charge.
They had adopted three siblings, whose mother had been abused for years by their father. He eventually killed her when he discovered she was planning to take the children and leave.
He cut her throat so deep she was nearly beheaded.
Her body was discovered by the oldest, then a young teen.
By the time he came to trial, she was 16, and next sib 14.
They very much wanted to testify, because they knew that someday he would come after them if he ever had a chance.
The Soros CA refused to let them speak on the grounds of that fake compassion (this while she was prosecuting the dad of the trans-raped girl), and the family who adopted the kids had to go to court on their behalf, at their request, to secure their right to testify.
These are the people, the Soros tools, who need to summarily meet a lamppost or woodchipper.

This assumes there is such a thing as "trans" which has an ever-changing definition based entirely on the subjective needs of the person claiming the status. And it's usually a circular or reflexive definition - "anyone who identifies as trans" - much like they'll say "anyone who identifies as a woman" is a woman. We are reaping the post-modernist linguistic whirlwind.

It’s why He told us not to worry, for why would He say that if it wasn’t a simple truth. What He wants from us is to not yield to it. That we can do. Never yield to fear, embrace it knowing tha He is with us. He will never leave us, even when we think He isn’t there. He never rests. Never fails. All is done according to His will.
>> So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10

Restorative Justice. First for kids, now spreading throughout adult convictions.
For example, see NYSDA org: Restorative Justice.
Here's Philly's restorative Justice theories: Restorative justice in Philadelphia focuses on community healing and accountability over punishment through diversion programs for youth and adults, aiming to reduce recidivism and address harms like sexual violence. Key initiatives include the Healing Futures program for youth, the Restorative Response Program (RRP) for adults, and arts-based programs via Mural Arts Philadelphia.
More: Restorative justice in Milwaukee focuses on repairing harm through community-based dialogue, school-based restorative practices, and diversion programs for youth and adults. Key initiatives include Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) fostering restorative cultures, the Andrew Center for Restorative Justice at Marquette Law School, and programs targeting youth accountability to reduce recidivism.
🤷 At least it cuts down the odds judges and lawyers are assaulted or killed. Probably.

Bodega is generally a small grocery store or deli in a heavily hispanic (and often poor) neighborhood. This rape happened in one of the most heavily hispanic neighborhoods in NYC. The victim was almost certainly hispanic, and as I've been saying, Democraps don't give a shit about dead hispanics unless it can be blamed on a white guy. Black-on-black or brown-on-brown crime? Nobody cares.

This is happening simultaneously across the West. It is not an accident, it is intentional and it is directed by those with money that can call out politicians as marionettes to do their dance of death. I think it is aimed at collapsing all popularly elected government so that these ersatz 'nobles' can directly run things like in the Middle Ages. Deformed and debased pseudo aristocracy based on wealth.
Same as the splitters that idiotically think that destroying the GOP by voting Dems will hasten the burning times and those represent opportunity for a revolution. Hint, most if not all revolutions leave countries and their citizens worse off in the aftermath. Idiotic utopian thinking.

I think it beyond that. Most of these leftist drones in office have the minds of idiots, they are being herded in a direction for the cause. And I think the real story can be found in what the WEF was promoting before it became too controversial to discuss in public. These wealthy and satanic oligarchs want the system to collapse and they plan on being elsewhere in hidey hole bunkers when it does.
The argument for authoritarian regimes will always come under the guise of safety and that is what these assholes need to collapse popularly elected governments (and even populations) that might resist. All so they can enjoy living without 90 percent of the rest of humanity. They figure it can be done now with robots and AI.

"Trump claimed Iran had planned to send over eight large vessels of oil as a show of good faith related to potential peace negotiations. He then described hearing of media headlines which said eight ships were moving through the Strait of Hormuz. He also stated his team is having "very substantial talks" with Tehran to resolve the conflict - but at this point it appears merely indirect via Pakistani mediation. As for the 'gift', some factcheckers have begun investigating the claim:
Tanker tracking data compiled by Bloomberg shows no sign of the eight big boats full of oil that are going right up the middle of the Hormuz strait that President Trump just mentioned in his briefing."

Apparently several Advocacy groups obtained information online that shows there were approximately 50K more ballots counted than what the SOS reported.
The AG, Rob Bonta, attempted to put an end to the Investigation being run by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Bonta sued and the judge denied his motion to quash the investigation. The judge further ordered that a Special Master be appointed to count the ballots.

Lemme make the best case against vigilantism, and not based on a Christian code that says vengeance is for the Lord, but more on the practical aspects of not getting caught.
Paul Kersey didn't live in a panopticon surveillance state, nor carry a personal tracking device in his pocket. The odds of not being seen are slim and none, and slim is at the bus station leaving town.
Don't forget, law enforcement does NOT like competition, especially not effective competition, so the entirety of the "justice system" will be mobilized to put an end to it.

Biden Deliberately Turned Off Money-Tracing/Payment Verification Systems for Welfare and Medicaid Payments to Fraudsters, and Minnesota Disabled Money Tracing For Welfare Funds Siphoned Out of the Country to Foreign Fraudsters
I had a big whoopsie on the first version of the post-- I see that I just covered what Charlie Brown's Dildo covered. I always forget to check!
So let me just include the stuff I think CBD didn't include.Does this sound familiar to anyone else? I recall the DNC and Obama deliberately turning off location verification for donations -- thus allowing foreigners to donate millions of dollars to them, illegally but untraceably -- and I'm also reminded of the following new revelation, that Biden deliberately turned off all money-tracing on the billions he pumped out to his Democrat fraudster voters and illegal alien pirates.
Eric DaughertyAnd the entire state of Minnesota deliberately disabled its ability to check for welfare/Medicaid fraud:
@EricLDaugh HOLY CRAP. Health Sec. RFK Jr. revealed that the Biden White House ORDERED HHS to ignore fraud -- and just focus on enrolling as many people on welfare as possible, legal or illegal "One of the things that I found out from people in my agency was they were ordered by the Biden White House not to do program integrity -- in other words, not to enforce against fraud." "And they said, they were told we want to focus on only enrollment and getting more and more people into the system!" This is a jaw-dropping betrayal of America. Root out all the fraud!
Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes HOLY CR*P 🚨 Minnesota Rep Krista Knudsen says they just found out the state TURNED OFF tracking for money being sent overseas They turned it on for 2 weeks. Saw all the money leaving, and Democrats quickly SHUT OFF TRACKING to allow it to keep happening READ THAT AGAIN "Today in the fraud committee, the Department of Human Services testified that they haven't been tracking the IP addresses of money that's being literally flown out of our state and where it's going. They did turn on that reporting for 2 weeks, and they found that yes, a lot of those IP addresses were tied to overseas computers, and then they quickly shut it off after just 2 weeks of seeing where this money is actually going" "Every time we turn around, it's just more and more fraud scandals in our state"

Right now, the boys are enjoying Waiting for Godot (b/c we're doing plays this year, and they loved American Buffalo, so I stepped back and through this in b/c it inspired American Buffalo).
I probably have the only kids who liked American Buffalo better than Glengarry Glen Ross. But if you read the originals of both, it is better b/c Alec Baldwin didn't exist in the original GGR, and his speech is so necessary.

I read the LOTR and Hobbit books shortly before watching their respective movies as they were originally released in theaters. I may read the LOTR trilogy again at some point, but I may have PTSD from how awful the Hobbit movies were in comparison.
I did pick up two books this past weekend:'The Truth' by Terry Pratchett, what looks to be the Discworld's take on the media, and 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir. I've heard good things about the adapted movie and would like to read it before I see it.

I hesitate to say this, but it’s starting to look like cutting out the fraud throughout the system would make welfare actually affordable.
Last year, spending was $7.01 trillion and income was $5.3 trillion. If fraud is only 25% of spending, we don’t have a spending problem. We have a fraud problem. And that’s not even taking into account how much of that $5.3 trillion is interest payments on the fraud of previous years.

As I wrote in the now-deleted post (which I'll post again tomorrow), if anyone was put off by the Hobbit movies, don't even worry about it mate, the movies were padded ridiculously to give them the same weight and slower pace of LOTR. The book itself is short and very fast.

I thought I read somewhere that as bureaucracies die, stealing eveything was one of the last steps.
From Grok...
No, there is no well-known historical law or famous quote that says “as bureaucracies die, stealing everything is one of the last steps.”
However, the underlying pattern you’re thinking of is real and well-documented in political science, history, and economics. When complex bureaucratic systems (empires, states, large organizations) enter terminal decline, elite corruption, asset-stripping, and self-enrichment often become prominent in the final phases. It’s not always literally “the last step,” but it is a common late-stage symptom.
Why This Pattern Appears
As institutions weaken, the normal checks (accountability, oversight, shared long-term incentives) erode. The people inside the bureaucracy realize the system is collapsing and begin treating public or institutional resources as personal loot before the doors close. This is sometimes called a “bank-run on the state” — everyone grabs what they can while they still can

Most classics I didn't read til adulthood. You can always pick up the habit at any point.
Like this was my 1st time with Mamet and Beckett. And I have to say - Marlowe needs WAY more credit for Dr Faustus than he gets. It rivals anything Shakespeare did, and has just as much effect on later artistic and written works...

There's a world of difference between writing an adaptation of a work he loves and performing (and probably writing) material on topical matters.
Does that mean Colbert will inject politics into the story? Honestly, I don't know either way. He could do it. He could decide that Tolkien unburdened by modern political lenses are preferable, like how Jackson, his producer on this project, did in the original movies.
I'm just saying, Colbert's fandom is a positive, and people act like it doesn't exist.

The final version of this script will have about 13 words written by Colbert. Maybe 14 words. The script will be wipe-your-ass-with-it terrible, but Colbert will have no hand in that. He got this gig for marketing and to reward him for years of faithful leftwing service. But they don't intend to actually use his script, assuming he even writes one.

Wonderful movie. Probably magical realism, but part of its charm is that it is its own category.
Wikipedia says “fantasy drama” which is really just an acknowledgment that whoever wrote that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. IMDB gives it four categories: Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Romance. Why not add anime in, too, cover all the bases.

Short stories -
The Lottery (by Shirley Jackson) or Harrison Bergeron (by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.) are both 10 minutes of reading (15 on the outside) and enough to make your skin crawl...and to show the magic that even a short story can bring...

Vortex makes decent optics. But so do others now at approximately the same price point.
Vortex, unless it has slipped lately, does have good warranty service which some of its competitors at that price point may or may not have.

I mean...I feel no excitement or anything towards the affair. My enthusiasm for more Tolkien adaptations were drained out with the Hobbit (which I do enjoy). I've never even watched a minute of Rings of Power I care so little.
But in the world we have, Colbert adapting Tolkien is better than the people who made Rings of Power who seem to have open contempt for Tolkien.

I have a favorite book that I don't actually have anymore because I always give them away. especially to "non-readers" - The Dictionary of the Khazars (who I assumed were fictional and learned HERE that they existed!). it's basically a book of poetry but organized as a dictionary. it's something you can just randomly open and find something interesting to think about. It's like The Devil's Dictionary (but nicer) so that is another great idea for you (Bierce is also fantastic).

You can move yourself up from short stories to novellas and plays. Most plays are only 60-80 pages (as are novellas)...
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a good novella to move up with...you know the concept, but you don't know the story, and so it makes for something easy to stay attached to.

I can sympathize with that view. Fwiw, if you want a fun pastiche of characters from throughout the world of literature, try picking up a copy of Silverlock by John Myers Myers.
Even sends literature graduate students to the stacks for its references and characters.
Easy read, especially for an allegory based loosely on A Pilgrim's Progress by Bunyan except much less serious (and religion is largely absent here) on the surface. Filksinging of some of the passages used to be a feature at cons back in the day. Think Poul Anderson's wife among others was responsible for putting some of the poems within to music.

It doesn't seem to fit with their overall mission, so I like to assume it was just a purely financial decision, just some cheap investment that they felt like they could make back x times over to help them fund other things.

Like Dumas, Dickens got paid by the word for serialization of many of his works. Dumas tends to carry it off a bit more heroically.
But yes, I find Dickens at time rather dull and preachy at times. For me Dumas > Dickens which makes me a traitor to my English side of ancestry I guess.

Getting stabbed and killed early in his career put a damper on Marlowe's output. I suspect had he not died nor killed himself by drinking and whoring, that Marlowe would have been the equal of Will.
And Will turned out a fair amount of snoozers as well as some outright turds like Titus Andronicus.

The last Dickens I read was Our Mutual Friend, his penultimate novel, and last finished one. I read one chapter where the writing was so good, it blew me away. I decided that nothing else in the book would be as good as that, and so I stopped reading right there. Never have gone back to finish it.

I've read some major works by other female writers of the time, and honestly, Austen is head and shoulders above, like, all of them.
Fanny Burey is absolute trash.

Elizabeth Gaskell is pretty good.

And this:
Xavier Becerra has served as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President Joe Biden since March 2021. As the 25th HHS Secretary and first Latino in the role, he has managed the federal health response to the COVID-19 pandemic and focused on expanding access to affordable healthcare.
Key HHS Leadership under Biden:
Secretary of HHS: Xavier Becerra (2021–present).
Assistant Secretary for Health: Dr. Rachel Levine (2021–present), the first openly transgender official confirmed by the Senate.
Who minds the piggy bank? Congress.

Probably the same reason that a lot of things disappear. Companies get bought out, decline into bankruptcy, and products get enshittified until no one wants them anymore.

Similar to Don Quixote or Tom Jones--picaresque adventure of one encounter after another. The problem with Huck Finn is at the end of the book when Twain simply did not know how to finish it. He chose comedy rather than continuing into uncharted waters of biracial friendship of two outcasts of society.
But a lot of autobiographical details of Twain's writings ended up in his works.

The Morning Rant: Why USAID Needed To Be Destroyed
“The Ukrainian Government and unspecified U.S. Government personnel, through USAID in Kyiv, reportedly developed a plan that would provide hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to fund an infrastructure project for Ukraine that would be used as a cover to send approximately 90% of funds allocated to the DNC to fund Joe Biden’s reelection campaign,” the declassified summary of the intercepts stated. “They were confident the project would be funded initially, even though at some time in the future the project would be disapproved as unnecessary. At this time, the money would already be allocated and impossible to return or use for a different purpose,” the report added.
That is most likely a tried-and-true method of funding domestic political efforts, and if the usual suspects were investigated, does anyone think that they wouldn't be found to have taken taxpayer money laundered this way? BLM, probably Antifa, the thousands of voter-registration and vote-casting scams run in the inner cities, the homeless boondoggle, transsexual lunacy in our schools, academia's frantic rush to the left...all funded by American taxpayers!
“The plan included details of how subcontractors would be funded through U.S. companies so that how the funds were spent and allocated would be difficult to track,” the declassified summary stated. “Additionally, contracts would be executed that would be difficult to verify. In this manner, most of the U.S. funding would be diverted to Joe Biden’s election campaign without the ability to track where exactly the funds came from.”
I wonder whether the unelected bureaucrats who spent so much of our money had a stable of pet companies that were willing to participate in these money-laundering escapades for a cut? Biden's 10% might have been peanuts! I want the names of those companies! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

HOLY CR*P 🚨 Minnesota Rep Krista Knudsen says they just found out the state TURNED OFF tracking for money being sent overseas
They turned it on for 2 weeks. Saw all the money leaving, and Democrats quickly SHUT OFF TRACKING to allow it to keep happening
READ THAT AGAIN
“Today in the fraud committee, the Department of Human Services testified that they haven't been tracking the IP addresses of money that's being literally flown out of our state and where it's going.
They did turn on that reporting for 2 weeks, and they found that yes, a lot of those IP addresses were tied to overseas computers, and then they quickly shut it off after just 2 weeks of seeing where this money is actually going”

YOU deserve to be stolen from because the only reason you have anything is that you and your ancestors stole it from the third wolders. Without you stealing everything, they'd be rich.
Logic doesn't matter. Pointing out they've NEVER had wealth so there was nothing to steal will not matter. YOU (and America) stole everything in the world and deserve to be stolen from.

Indeed.
Remember who did this.
IceKingJOE gave Iran $6Billion to play nice.
"What is the National Security Interest?" IceKingJOE.
It should be intuitively obvious that Iran is going to destroy Kharg Island just as spider-hole/S.Hussein though the damage would be irreparable and an any kind of disincentive and impairment to air operations.
It's better if the Iranian's blow their own island up (Mad Max/RoadWarrior-style), and in fact, we should help them, unless of course we indict -- about 8 neutron warheads detonated concentrically and simultaneously/disabling all but the mechanical self destruct mechanisms they've already planed (gee, what-if they should go of pre-maturely accidentally?)
One way or another, robots would be on the ground in 24-72hrs, human jumpers within a week to assess/supress and bring the island back online in 3-6 months as Floating Production Storage Offload (FSPO, converted oiltankers) come on line in much less than that.
Guess who's heavily vested in that? and pre-positioned?

If I understand your question correctly, Ukraine gave money to the Dems, which is obviously a screwing, but they didn't WANT to do it (they needed every shekel , after all), they did it because they were worried the Dems would cancel all their funding if they didn't, and that funding was keeping them aliove. You know, just like Biden threatened to do if he didn't get his way over the Uke prosecutor investigating his son.

Ukraine flags in bio? All that bullshit. BILLIONS of dollars flowing to Ukraine with virtually NO oversight? 'Stand with Ukraine! Stay inside!'

Way back at the start of the Russia crap Hannity was about the only person reporting that the whole thing was fake and one of his featured guests on some nights was John Solomon. No reporter was more on top of the hoax back then that Solomon, the guy who broke this story about Ukraine.
I tried to watch only on nights when Solomon was on and I'd invariably end up screaming at my TV for Hannity to shut the fuck up and let Solomon talk. Incredibly annoying.

America was nearly lost to a cabal of NGOs, think tanks, foundations, specialty media organizations, compromised mainstream media organizations, quasi-governmental organizations and all other manner of other well-funded (often with taxpayer dollars) players dedicated to preserving extra-governmental controls over the average American, all outside the scope of what Americans vote for.
The men and women behind these organizations claim to want to benevolently advance public policy, when in reality their singular purpose is to maintain and grow the nefarious personal power they have achieved. Above all else they must defend their fiefdoms, the good of the nation be damned.
When reformers try to undo any part of this cabal, those reformers are inevitably smeared, libeled, slandered and threatened. The goal is to prevent them from engaging in that necessary reform by intimidating them into silence.

It goes back further than that. At the NATO Summit in Bucharest in 2008 George Bush floated the idea of NATO membership for both Georgia and Ukraine. Putin warned that membership for either country was a red line for him and he would attack if it happened.
To prove his point he then attacked Georgia. Didn't get nearly the media coverage that Ukraine has received but Putin wasn't screwing around about attacking if once again NATO broke its work and expanded eastward.
Multiple things can be true at the same time. Putin is a brutal and corrupt dictator but NATO always knew what would cause him to attack and did it anyway.

And I completely disagree. What's a good analogy?
When the soviet union fell, you went from a nominally ideological empire to... almost like a consortium of gangsters. Oil Plutocrats. Then Putin rises up and is trying to make all the plutocrats work toward 'his' idea of what was good about the Soviets- National pride. Solidarity. That kind of thing. But the ideological roots of the Soviets (exporting Marxism) went away. He is STILL paranoid about his borders though. Hence georgia and ukraine. But both of those are in responses to diplomatic aggression.

I think it depends in part on the 10%. One thing I've noticed about the Euro and especially UK Muslims is the woman are mostly dressed in burkas. That's a hardcore, virulent form of Islam.
By contrast, the USA definitely has a Muslim problem too, but you rarely see burkas here. Some hijabs, yes, but it's rare to see a burka.
In Asian muslim countries like Indonesia they have somehow managed to avoid most Muslim barbarism, and there you almost never see a burka.
I don't think this is a coincidence.

In exchange, the Russians sent people here to pretend to spy on us so they could go shopping and rub elbows at DC cocktail parties.

Putin does not have that aspect. You are conflating ideology between the two phases and that is just not the case.

Federal payments software "Phoenix Pay" has cost billions in budget overruns so far and they estimate it will cost billions more to complete. Complete fucking scam. People and companies are being given money to do nothing at all, because a payroll system does NOT cost that much money.

The paradox of the Schrodinger's Hitler is resolved by recognizing that Europe is hopelessly corrupt: aside from Poland, the rest not only don't have enough military to make a speedbump, they are also incapable of building it up.

Meh. I could care less about Russia for the most part, as long as they continue exporting strippers and oil, their two main export resources. The only thing that worries me about them is that they were stupid enough to attack the Ukes and get bogged down, leaving Siberia open to invasion and occupation by the Chinee, who are the real bad actors in the non-mohammedan world. When China gets their hands on Siberia it solves a lot of their problems for at least a generation or two.
One of the things in the Marvel Universe that pisses me off is the stupid schoolyard notion that "strength invites challenge" as Vision puts it. Bullshit, it's weakness that invites challenge, and I think it's only a matter of time until the Chinee move into Siberia, knowing that the Russians don't have the strength to effectively oppose them.
That is, unless the Chinee collapse first. Which is a distinct possibility.

Russians are smart and do good work. But the peasant mindset is ingrained in them deeply, even moreso than it is for a lot of the rest of Europe.
As for the post-collapse treatment, Mike Benz laid that out on Rogan. Once the USSR collapsed, the CIA set about trying to expand NATO and completely surround Russia. Bill Clinton largely prevented that on the basis that it would just antagonize them.
At the same time, George Soros, assisted by the State Department, started buying a bunch of property in Russia.
So basically the Clinton administration was largely friendly to Russia but the rest of FedGov was involved in schemes that were not so friendly.

Schumer got the current ME governor (Mills) to run because the establishment wants Platner to lose the primary because they know he's going to be toxic in the general election in a senate race that should be one of their key pickup opportunities.

When it was announced that the NFL was awarding Houston an expansion team, I bet my brother, a huge Detroit Lions fan, $100 that the Texans would make it to the Super Bowl before the Lions. He accepted the bet.
That was over 20 years ago and the wager is still yet to be claimed by either of us.
(Cleveland and Jacksonville are the other two teams that have never been to the Super Bowl).

That's pretty different from "No matter where they are, or what governmental system they were born under."
The world is being influenced still by the Pax Americana after WWII. That's the overarching government system.
The most violence and rapacity comes, generally, within countries because that system (for the past 80ish years) has been working to prevent one country invading another. (With exceptions, but mostly.)
Without the "world police", we'd be back in the normal state of the world.

I'd agree, if we had defeated them through direct military conflict.
We didn't do that. We bankrupted them.
What we failed to do, post collapse, was give them a chance to recuperate their populus from the poison that is Communism.
We had a great opportunity and we allowed our 'betters' to serve themselves rather than serve the people of Russia.

Given how we have organized government and societies over these "past 80 years", I would argue that the more primitive "They have better land, let's take it!" mentality has been erased, or at least subdued, by time passing, norms being established, and just the fact that it's easy for us all to see which way is better.
Again, though, I'll say my thoughts may be 100% wrong, and that Man writ large could instantly revert to savagery if given the chance.

And unlike Putin, Yeltsin was completely incapable of resisting the Duma that was captured by the Oligarchs politically and economically.
One of the West's greatest hatreds of Putin stems from him forcing the Oligarchs to stop stealing assets and selling them to the Europeans, made them run the industries they stole and pay their employees, and killed them only if they started getting political.

Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug
The low rent types that live in office for decades figure that they will always have enough political pull to get new grifting money. So their cash burn rate is enormous. Essentially, public money directed toward them is their pension plan. The Bidens probably figured that his term as President would have generated at least as much as the Clintons or Carters did post presidency via Institutes, speaking fees, lobbying, board memberships, etc.
When he started shitting his pants literally and metaphorically as prezzie, he destroyed his own family's grifting abilities once out of office.

Today, those party functions have been outsourced to the ludicrously named NON Governmental Organizations, who revive vast amounts of taxpayer dollars. Unencumbered by restraints such as the Hatch Act, funded by "Grants" -your tax dollars just given away- they now perform the functions of a political machine.
Until we can forbid tax dollars going to private organizations for anything, no matter how good it sounds (for the children!) that doesn't perform a real government function, like roads,and not social spending, the Democrats will have a large structural edge over their opponents.

When art became crap, it became necessary to hire a marketing firm to convince the expert class that there is a hidden meaning that elevates the crap back into art. This often doesn't work on the rubes, giving a reason for experts to mock them, and besides the rubes don't have enough money to buy art.

Work Reconsidered #1 — John Wilde
Background: John Wilde (1919–2006) was an American painter associated with Magic Realism and Surrealism. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and later at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he became part of a circle of artists and writers interested in detailed, dreamlike imagery grounded in everyday objects and landscapes. "Work Reconsidered #1" is held by the Whitney Museum of American Art and reflects Wilde’s lifelong interest in combining autobiographical elements with fantastical, often satirical scenes.
Style: Wilde’s style is highly detailed and meticulous, with fine linework and careful texturing that give surfaces a tactile, almost engraving-like quality. His compositions often blend realistic domestic or rural settings with surreal, symbolic, or grotesque figures and motifs. He used a limited, often muted palette punctuated by sharper accents, and his work displays a precise draftsmanship influenced by printmaking techniques and classical illustration

"[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

Liberal "activist" Alyssa Milano decided to leave the country after all, according to a post on her Instagram page. Unfortunately, she didn't get far.
Milano was stopped near the Canadian border crossing in Barron, Vermont, for a routine check. Border Patrol officers discovered that the B-lister is still on probation in California for her little Tesla protest.
She's not supposed to leave the state, never mind the country.
"We informed her that she'd be turned away by the Canadians," said CBP Officer Jon Raebro, "We also informed her that while we don't handle those kinds of things, she's also committing a crime by being out of state."
Raebro says after a lot of crying, Milano turned her Mercedes around and headed home.

It's basketball for women. A quick fix. Easy cash.
You see the same type of psychology with streamers. I play video games all the time. Why not try to make money at it.
The thing is, in all of these... jobs. The good ones are actually gifted. Maybe at not playing video games, but being able to play a video game to a decent level while also keeping an eye on the comments and generating engaging commentary.
For basketball, the competition is fierce and at least back in the day the pros were like different animals. The smooth movements. Like pro golf players vs amateurs. Fred Couples was always my biggest example.
For the women, I won't get too much into this but it is all of these things but even more so and less definable.

Ricky Wassenaar, a 62-year-old inmate already serving 16 life sentences, carried out a calculated triple h*m*cide at the ASP-Tucson complex, targeting only convicted child s** offenders.
On April 4, 2025, Wassenaar st**ngled his cellmate before using a makeshift flail—a rock inside a laundry bag—to k*ll two more men in the prison mess hall.
Wassenaar, who has since confessed to the k*llings, expressed zero remorse, stating his goal was to "pay his debt to society" by eliminating those he deemed "monsters."

You see the same type of psychology with streamers. I play video games all the time. Why not try to make money at it.
The thing is, in all of these... jobs. The good ones are actually gifted. Maybe at not playing video games, but being able to play a video game to a decent level while also keeping an eye on the comments and generating engaging commentary.
Playing video games and basketball don't, generally, have permanent and negative impacts on your life and mental health.

Wild footage captured the moment hundreds of lawless Chicago teens overran the city and attacked random people in the street.
The mob was seen violently stomping a shirtless man and flying into a frenzy in videos captured during the takeover of the downtown Loop district on Wednesday night.
Several police cars were seen stationed nearby, yet they apparently failed to intervene, video showed.
Private security group Community Intelligence Unit (CIU) reported at least one teen was beaten unconscious, a number of vehicles were destroyed and several people were arrested.
The group also reported that bear mace was used during the melee, and footage showed several rioters appearing to use tasers to zap each other and innocent victims.

As a former prison guard how do you feel about that? My personal opinion is that if we don't kill them ourselves and incarcerate instead, we have a duty to protect them while incarcerated. I don't feel sorry for them but it ain't up to criminals to administer what they think is justice. How many times has the rumor mill in prison been wrong?

John Wilde
Born December 12, 1919, Wisconsin
Died March 9, 2006 (age 86 years), Evansville, WI
Hopefully, this is meant to be a light-hearted kick off to the weekend.
>Worley Gig Arts and Culture
Modern Art Monday Presents: John Wilde’s Work Reconsidered #1, Jan. 2017
The “Work Reconsidered” in the title is John Wilde’s own drawing. This painting from 1950 is based on a “bridal” portrait that Wilde had made of his wife, Helen, in 1943. Its exacting realism and compressed perspective, as well as the subject’s pose and inscrutable expression, recall the Northern and Italian Renaissance portraits that inspired Wilde. He added surrealist details to these traditions: the butterflies on the woman’s body and head, the isolated food items on the table, and the moody landscape background create and otherworldly effect.
>Wikipedia: John Wilde was an American painter, draughtsman, and printmaker from Wisconsin. He spent the majority of his life in his home state and taught at The University of Wisconsin–Madison for over 35 years. Wilde is often associated with the Magic Realist and Surrealist art movements in the United States.
An interesting artist but would pass.

I own a piece of art from 1941 that measures 7'X9'. Art Deco style fresco on oak panel. Enamel paint and lots of gold leaf. Louis Ross is the artist. He did lots of murals for the 39 NY World's Fair. Worked with Hildreth Meiere, who was one of the first to bring Art Deco to America. She was studying in Paris 1918-22. I rescued the panel from demolition in a building across the street from Madison Square Garden in 1982.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo
Only use is for locating. Not hunting.
Can you use a drone to hunt feral hogs in Texas?
Yes, you can use a drone to hunt feral hogs in Texas, but only under specific conditions.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has approved the use of drones to locate
feral hogs for hunting purposes.
Here are the key points to consider:
Location: Drones can be used to locate feral hogs at night for hunters on the ground.
Permit: Hunters must obtain an aerial wildlife management permit to use drones for this purpose.
No Take: The use of drone-mounted weapons is prohibited; drones can only be used to locate hogs.
Ethics: The use of drones for hunting is subject to ethical considerations and must comply with fair chase principles.
There is no "fair chase" principles when hunting feral hogs on private land.

Yesterday, I received a text that US Bank had opened an account for me, and had linked the money transfer service Xe to it. I'm with a different bank entirely. Figured that it was the usual banking scam thing so I didn't click any links. Woke up this morning to find that someone had gotten into my ACTUAL bank account and did an ACH transfer of over $5k to some random fourth company. Checking further on my banks site, I found that US Bank and Xe had been added as linked apps yesterday, so I suspect they are involved.

Welp, CoE keeps gaining by subtraction as the pews empty and this will end up severing more of the Anglican community abroad just like the pro homo troonism will. CoE, like the UK, is reaching the point of total destruction of their heritage because they are corrupted by the society hellscape that they helped create.
Only so long having an identity as NOT Catholic can be sustained while keeping the vestiges of its Catholic underpinnings.

Donald Trump publicly criticized Chip Roy, stating that he "has not done a great job."
Trump expressed his support for Elise Stefanik, who was running against Roy for the same leadership role.
Roy's past actions, such as voting to certify the 2020 election and criticizing Trump after the January 6 insurrection, have contributed to his strained relationship with the former president.

That is what fraud in government is all about--aiming the stream of government money at your friends, family, and your political supporters. GOPe does it too except they tend to stick to legal graft rather than blatant fraud.
E.g. MTG transferred about 60k of her campaign funds to her family for 'consulting' just before she retired. Same practice as Maxine Waters and a number of other High Plains Grifters do. Legal but unethical. Same as insider trading that MTG did before leaving. Legal but unethical.

The sad truth is that quite a few 'colorful' GOP members are actually pieces of shit that will stab you in the back in a NY minute if it affects their grift.
And that is the problem with narrow majorities taht the GOPe likes--it gives defectors tremendous bargaining power that does not exist when the margins are more like 20-30 seats in the House and 5-6 seats in the Senate. The Corrupticans have a lot less flouncing bargaining power in those circumstances.

The Morning Report — 3/26/26
First up, degenerate scumbag one:
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) doubled down on protecting illegal aliens, a week after 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien. During a press conference on Wednesday, where Johnson unveiled an “Abolish ICE” snowplow, Johnson was asked if he had reconsidered “rescheduling this event” after the death of Gorman. “This is a terrible tragedy, and what I’ve said from the very beginning, I’m going to continue to use every single tool that’s available to me to protect the residents of the city of Chicago,” Johnson said. “This tragedy is not going to deter us from our work. In fact, it’s going to challenge us all to double down on our efforts to ensure that we are protecting every single individual across neighborhoods.” The unveiling of the snowplow with “Abolish ICE” on it came after a “citywide contest to name six new salt trucks,” according to the Chicago Tribune.“Abolish ICE” was “submitted over 9,000 times,” according to the outlet.And next there's this slithering cancer:
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) threatened to prosecute U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deployed at the airport if they acted inappropriately. . . “I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a courtroom, and if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell…” Krasner has a long history of threatening federal immigration agents, comparing them to Nazis and stating that he will “hunt them down.”Meh, we're going to need a bigger gallows! Much much bigger!!!!
Democrat lies will get us killed. The false narratives they peddle through their media handmaidens end up distorting reality and poisoning people’s minds. Exhibit A is their rancid defamation campaign about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, which mirrors precisely their long-running lies about “systemically racist police” that led to the deadly riots of 2020 and Defund the Police policies that drove up the homicide rate and endangered communities across the country. We see how it works this week as the mendacious trio of Connecticut Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate counterpart Chuck Schumer claimed in unison that ICE agents helping ease TSA lines at airports this week will “brutalize and kill” you and kidnap your children. In fact, ICE agents are kindly giving stranded passengers bottles of water, helping with their luggage, and performing tasks that free up TSA workers who have just missed their third paycheck — thanks to the Democrats. . . The sole aim of Democrats is to punish Americans for voting Trump into office. Dems get away with it by shameless lying and then pretending they are paragons of truthfulness. They smear ICE agents as Gestapo, white supremacists, Nazis and “secret police” with the objective of turning the American public against them. Trump’s gambit of placing ICE in airports to ease the pain of travelers is a challenge to the lies, because now people can see the agents are not the monsters they have been painted. . . Democrat lawmakers like Jamie Raskin and Adam Schiff and their slavish legal minions use their silver tongues to tell the most corrosive lies and cover up Democrat crimes. Whether it’s falsely accusing Trump of being a Russian agent and “inciting an insurrection,” or lying that Joe Biden was innocent despite slam-dunk evidence he was up to his neck in his family’s lucrative foreign-influence peddling, or pretending “the border is closed” and that the botched Afghanistan withdrawal was a “success,” or claiming that defunding the police will make communities safer — they always find a way to excuse the inexcusable, and flip the script. . . Then there are the little cheating, self-aggrandizing lies that Dems like Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren and Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz and Joe “Corn Pop” Biden indulge in. Sheridan Gorman was walking with friends on the Chicago lake shore where Pritzker once filmed a video extolling the safety of his crime-ridden sanctuary city.
Hadden said Gorman and friends “might have unintentionally startled” a masked gun-toting Jose Medina-Medina into allegedly jumping out of the bushes and shooting Gorman in the back as she ran from him.
Don’t blame us!
Hadden later apologized but her point was clear.
Don’t blame the Democrats for sanctuary city policies.
It’s your own fault if you get killed. . . . They don’t necessarily kill anyone but they add to the miasma of dishonesty we are drowning in. At their worst, Democrat lies that are laundered for years through once-trusted media outlets are the cause of polarization and political violence tearing this country apart.
I have to disagree with the estimable Miranda Devine's assertion that "They don’t necessarily kill anyone" - - abortion alone has snuffed out thousands of lives. The grisly former abattoir of Kermit Gosnell all by itself butchered scores of infants, many actually born alive on his table. Tragically he's just one example. "It cannot be stated often and loudly enough. Everything wrong with this country, all the pain, misery, suffering, death, bloodshed, violence, discord, dissolution and wastage of life and human potential is the fault of Leftist Democrats and their policies. They have lain waste to America for over 200 years in their goal of seizing and maintaining absolute power. Unless and until the Anti-American Left and its epicenter of political power the Democrat Party is utterly demolished, we and our children and grandchildren shall never know a moment's peace and will face an existential, generational threat to our lives and liberty for all time. Ditto Islam, of course. 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.

What da mayor of Chicago is describing is an atrocity; one of the hallmarks of these con artists is the inability or unwillingness to use the correct words to describe anything. It’s always vague, euphemistic bullshit artistry. It’s a tell.
“These things happen”, as if these “tragedies” simply fall out of the sky. That’s the outrageous part.
They effect this state of affairs, they caused it - and then publicly scold the victims. “Wrong place at the wrong time”. It’s your fault, you’re the problem - for noticing. For complaining. Left unstated, mostly, is their belief that you deserve it. Never forget that.

I read it and came away with the same thought. Unfortunately for Hollywood, technology has advanced to where people don't need them for movies. And if AI keeps getting improved on, they will be even more worthless.
And I'm surprised the article didn't mention Timothée Chalamet other heresy: He said he wants a wife and children. The reaction to this was to call him a white supremacist and a Nazi.

a few changes:
17th Amendment is repealed
2nd Amendment re-written: the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Period.
Art I Sec 5, the clause saying each House may determine its own rules is struck. There shall be a strict rule-based framework for how legislative business is to be conducted.
Term limits. 2 for Senate, 6 for House, 10 for all federal judgeships.
The President shall have the power to dismiss any Executive branch employee.
There's room for more. Haven't even scratched the surface of dealing with rogue courts.

In fact, ICE agents are kindly giving stranded passengers bottles of water, helping with their luggage, and performing tasks that free up TSA workers who have just missed their third paycheck — thanks to the Democrats. . . The sole aim of Democrats is to punish Americans for voting Trump into office.
Dems get away with it by shameless lying and then pretending they are paragons of truthfulness.
------------
I cannot believe the Deomocrats have not yet planted a few Hispanics and blacks, with children, with boarding passes in TSA lines in Blue jurisdictions across the country, to make a scene when an ICE agent is close and claim ICE is brutalizing them and their chirrrun!
Perhaps today, or perhaps I've missed the reporting of staged brutalizations.

Danish PM Frederiksen’s Social Democrats Suffer Worst Election Results in over Century, Copenhagen Coalition Talks Commence
____
The article said that a coalition with the left parties is just as likely as one with the 'moderate' parties. So there is a chance that the increase by the remigration party could actually result in a ruling coalition that moves leftward. These multi-party parliamentary democracies are odd. Probably designed that way in order to thwart the evils of 'populism'.

Seize college assets to pay these loans.
We've talked about making colleges co-sign loans - let's just "deem" it so.
This would be an example of the sort of economic warfare we should be doing. The colleges and their employees are close to 100% leftwing. The students in debt are generally leftwing but easily bribeable and since they are young likely easier to re-position politically.

"The government’s failure to retain a majority forced Frederikson to resign on Wednesday morning as she seeks to form a new coalition.
In contrast, the biggest growth seen by any party was the populist Danish People’s Party, led by the popular former Member of the European Parliament Morten Messerschmidt, whose strident anti-mass migration rhetoric helped the party pick up 11 seats, increasing its vote share by 6.5 per cent over 2022. According to DR, the populist party increased its support in all 92 constituencies of the country."

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said the confirmation is significant to the CN and Indian Country overall.
“As a Cherokee Nation citizen, his service on the national stage carries deep meaning,” Hoskin said “We will miss his leadership in the Senate but know he will serve the country well in such a critical role on the world and national stage.”

Dallas has a LOT of new mosques popping up all over. They're attempting to build a sharia town in Plano, which Paxton keeps thwarting.
When Paxton wins the Senate race, he needs to be replaced by Chip Roy who's pretty on board with stopping the sharia creep in Texas and the US. He seems to get it.

>>I get that it was in the capitol city, but does the physical location really make that much of a difference in the current judicial climate?
Comey was not Brennan.
I absolutely think the location makes an enormous difference. We've spent more than a year watching leftist judges and leftwing juries spike cases purely on partisan grounds. It was Judge Eileen Cannon, a Trump appointed judge in Florida who tossed Jack Smith and his idiotic case and prevented his report from being published.
Do you really think Boasberg or a DC jury would ever do something like that to Jack Smith after we know he conspired with Smith to set Trump up?
I don't think it will be a slam dunk but at least there's a chance of winning in much more conservative Florida.

Dallas has a LOT of new mosques popping up all over. They're attempting to build a sharia town in Plano, which Paxton keeps thwarting.
When Paxton wins the Senate race, he needs to be replaced by Chip Roy who's pretty on board with stopping the sharia creep in Texas and the US. He seems to get it.

From above, "Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) threatened to prosecute U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deployed at the airport if they acted inappropriately..."
'Soros DA' Larry Krasner is a well protected puppet in any of his press conferences (think of Joe Biden's presidential campaign with ten masked people in an auditorium) and, if you look at the most recent Philly airport stunt, no one but some press - betcha WHYY too - is nearby to listen, or care.
He pales behind the Philadelphia sheriff. Remember her (?) ICE press conference press conference? Fox News, 'Philadelphia sheriff rips ICE as 'fake, wannabe law enforcement,' threatening arrests: 'Don't want this smoke.'
She's a bad a**, with no idea what's going on, and his role is to back her.
Note: Usually present & most often pushing their way to the mic are the Philadelphia Council members endorsed by Working Families Party: Gauthier, Brooks and Landau - who also "make only this clear." (Instagram - phillysheriff, 2 months ago - with a whopping 60 likes.

Top Story
- The long-running court case by Sony and the global music cartel against the internet and free people everywhere, represented here - somehow - by Cox Communications, has met an end. (CBS)
Most recently upheld by the Fourth Circuit, it finally reached the Supreme Court which just handed down its decision, saying, no you dumbasses, just because you don't make it impossible for someone to do something bad doesn't make you complicit.
You may wonder with such a divided court what the split was in this decision.
The split was 9-0.
Even the concurrence by the court's special needs justices Sotomayor and Jackson agreed with the majority opinion on this point of law and on the decision generally.
Tech News
- Intel's big Battlemage graphics card is finally here, but there is no B770 card in sight. (Tom's Hardware)
Instead we have the B65 Pro and B70 Pro, which both feature 32GB of RAM on a 256-bit bus. So they are definitely not targeting gamers looking for performance on a budget, but with MSRP for the B70 Pro starting at $949, it is the cheapest 32GB graphics card by a solid margin.
AMD's Radeon 9700 Pro has a list price of $1299, and while Nvidia's 5090 has an MSRP of $1999, even that is a complete fiction and you'll be be paying twice that if you can find one at all.
The B65 Pro still has 32GB of RAM but is reduced from 32 Xe cores to 20. It will presumably be cheaper but Intel hasn't announced exact pricing just yet.
- Not everything in computing is insanely expensive. This gigabit switch for example is less than ten bucks. (Tom's Hardware)
That's not a remarkable savings, it's just a useful datapoint.
- The new Seagate Firecuda 540R is an SSD focused on endurance, with about twice the liefspan of comparable mainstream desktop drives. (Tom's Hardware)
And with today's market, it's MSRP makes it a reasonable option.
If it were available at MSRP.
It's not. It's about twice that.
- The same hackers who recently hit the vulnerability scanner Trivy have now done the same to Python AI library LiteLLM. (Bleeping Computer)
It's likely that they broke into LiteLLM using the Trivy hack.
Reports are that half a million more users were compromised via LiteLLM, so things are only going to get worse.

While I am not a big fan of social media and have mixed reactions from a libertarian perspective to these verdicts, a couple nags put me on the plaintiff side here. My somewhat casual understanding of the Gen z tech users Is they are increasingly fed up with technology, especially the Doom Scroll paradigm, a design that is clearly intended to keep one engaged. To address this, there are now products, such as stripped down smartphones, that explicitly limit the amount of smarts they do have and there is also a movement towards using paper calendars and journals. These indicate that culture and consumer markets instinctively understand that social media is riddled with product liabilities.

LP's I got some that I bought when an early teen I belonged to the Columbia Record Club and my dad gave me hell when he got the bill. But you get a free record once in awhile I'd tell him. He wasn't impressed. Hard to cancel also. And never could remember to send that card back that I didn't want the selection. At 14, I had other things to worry about.

We are of a similar demographic and I went the other direction. My entire music and video collection is digital as is the bulk of my reading library. The trigger for this was having to manage them, meaning space and such, with something I just didn't want to deal with anymore. I do miss having physical media from time to time.
The decision to own physical media or not is radically different though then the dopamine that comes from social media engagement. One of my favorite examples of this was when I lived in a major downtown city. I had to back out of my apartment building onto a street that led directly to a freeway. This meant I often got trapped blocking the sidewalk for some minutes which would at times irritate the pedestrians. Except one guy. He was so engrossed with his phone he walked right into the side of my car and knocked himself on the ground. He popped right up and started screaming and yelling at me and waving his arms. It was all rather hilarious.

The early Animals recordings showed them to be a supremely competent cover band of American rock and roll and blues. I'm not sure where they fell apart, probably from a lack of songwriting talent and endless personnel changes.

Thank you!
I should have clarified: SC Rep. Ralph Norman should have framed the story better. I wasn't asking you to be my research assistant.... I'll put that full grok explanation in a new comment box below.
Posted by: m at March 26, 2026 05:07 AM (+YA9H)
Rep. Ralph Norman's post highlights a 2026 Eid al-Fitr procession video in Holy Islamville, a rural South Carolina Muslim enclave founded in 1983 by African-American converts, framing it as evidence of unchecked Sharia law infiltration in his district rather than a routine religious observance.
Holy Islamville, home to about 35 families following Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani's teachings, has endured terrorism allegations since the 1990s but local reports describe residents as law-abiding U.S. citizens who operate schools, businesses, and farms while upholding constitutional protections for their faith.
The post promotes Norman's involvement in the 2025-launched Sharia Free America Caucus, co-founded by Reps. Self and Roy to prioritize U.S. law over Islamic jurisprudence, eliciting replies that range from calls to ban Sharia to defenses of religious liberty and criticisms of the post as outdated fear-mongering.

That was basically Apple's argument for 99-cent MP3s (DRM-free) on iTunes: if we make music tracks easy to buy in a format that's easy to use, many people will do that instead of pirating. And they were correct, and Amazon did likewise; and bands went back to vinyl albums, but with a free download code for the digital tracks. And it worked, not like before with jackpot winners left and right, but people could make a living.
Now it's Spotify ruining the revenue model for musicians, not illegal filesharing torrents. The case was practically irrelevant by the time SCOTUS ruled.

That's within a normal variation from the $3.19 I read. Even your price would be a better deal than what I have.
E0 is something else. The nearby station I had been using, $2.99/gal., is now $4.09 with their E10 at $3.69. (To be fair, their E0 is 90 octane instead of 87.)
Close by I have an Exxon convenience store which has E0 for only .30 more than E10; but I doubt I'll see a small spread like that in the 'burbs today. Their E0 is also 90 octane.

On my way back from Indiana, I filled up with Buc-ee's E0 in north Alabama. Saw 34 mpg on the trip home, and that was at 70 mph with the A/C on in a big V-6 powered car. There are no Buc-ees in northern MS yet, or farther north, though.
I'll fill up with E0, no matter the cost, just before I leave for KS, and go with whatever E10 I find after that. A chunk of my route will be on old Federal highways, not Interstates. The slower speed will help my mpg, but stops and slowdowns in small towns won't.

None, except somebody is getting paid, somewhere.
Originally it was supposed to reduce emissions. Well, modern cars do that (with expensive emissions systems) just fine. We've reached the point of diminishing returns on that.
I usually see close to 10%+ mpg when I use E0. Since E0 usually sells for more than 10% over E10, it doesn't really make financial sense, but I still do it when I can.

Known as late zipper merging. It seems that if done correctly, it is the most efficient method of managing traffic flow.
"If done correctly" means drivers in the through lane are paying attention and allowing space for merge lane autos to move over, not being assholes by blocking them.

Wednesday Night ONT - March 25, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety. Did I mention the shenanigans were random? They are indeed random.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Leave Tucker, Megyn, Candace and anyone similar to threads elsewhere.

The origin of OK is disputed. However, most modern reference works hold that it originated around Boston as part of a fad in the late 1830s of abbreviating misspellings - that it is an initialism of "oll korrect" as a misspelling of "all correct."----------------------
How many times can you put a balloon up your nose and pull it out your mouth? We bet not many of you have ever actually tried! But at Guinness World Records, we love celebrating unique talents just like this. On 29 August 2025, Malte Dünser (Austria), broke the Guinness World Records title for most balloons passed through the nose and out the mouth in one minute. This wild record attempt took place on the set of Guinness World Records - Die große Show der Weltrekorde, in Munich, Germany, in front of an audience. Malte managed to complete the trick 10 times, repeatedly threading the uninflated balloons through one nostril, and pulling them out through his mouth.There are photos at the link if you want to see more. I won't post them here. I mourn for the days when a Guinness World Record meant something more significant than stuffing balloons up your nose (not that there's anything wrong with that...).
Caterpillar D11 bulldozer overhauls - this is a good video if you're into that sort of thing (actually, it is a pretty good video even if you don't care):
New data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) shows more people are having gambling problems, especially with sports betting. Call to the state's Problem Gambling Helpline were up 121 percent in just a year, between 2022 and 2023, DPH announced Wednesday. So why has there been an increase? DPH said it's a result of improving access to helplines with public awareness campaigns and education statewide. "The increase in calls is a sign that people are feeling comfortable reaching out," Odessa Dwarika, the program director for the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, told WBZ-TV. "If folks are experiencing harm but they don't know how to get resources or they don't feel comfortable getting resources, you're not going to see that bump in numbers."Up 121 percent on one year? Heavens! Must be a sign of major gambling problems and a success story for the state's gambling help hotline, right? Well... From Boston.com: Half of recent calls to state's gambling helpline were for help placing mobile sports bets, new report shows
According to DPH's report, the helpline saw a surge in calls after sports betting was legalized. But of the 2,069 calls from February to June 2023, 1,043 were non-helpline calls, the report said. Those callers were "looking for technical support for their sports wagering mobile applications and platforms." The Office of Problem Gambling Services attributed the confusion to an increase in sports wagering advertisements, which list the helpline.The gambling help hotline became a tech support line for gamblers because online gaming companies were required to list the helpline in their ads? No matter how much you distrust politicians and hate the media, it is not enough. Never believe anything you read in a media story without checking for yourself.
A professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee has been formally charged with murder and multiple related offenses in connection with a deadly shooting that occurred in Charles County on March 22, 2026. Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata, Md., was arraigned in the District Court of Maryland for Charles County after being located in Charlottesville, Virginia, and arrested following the fatal shooting of 27-year‑old Bradrick Michael Wells, according to court documents. Police have not explained how Webber was able to drive a car or fire a weapon. Webber underwent quadruple amputation as a baby after a blood infection, according to reports. He's a professional cornhole player in the American Cornhole League (ACL).Armed and dangerous? No, but he won't have a leg to stand on in court.

Benjamin Holt arrived in California in 1883. The Holt brothers formed the Stockton Wheel Company to season woods in a way that would prepare them for use in the arid valleys of California and deserts of the West. They based their new venture in the warm Central Valley town of Stockton, California, where the climate was suitable for drying wooden wheels. (because it's the hellhole of the universe ed.)

I think both guns were double action -- not true to life, of course, in the case of the Western gun. But you could cock it single-action. Either way, when the hammer came down, the cap let off a satisfying bang with an aroma of gunpowder; the bullet flew out of the barrel to hit something or more likely to be lost forever; and the cartridge remained in the cylinder.
No wonder I like guns.

My Barbie is still in MS. Someone (a cousin? maid?) stole Skipper & Scooter and a really old Barbie that was my cousin's. I think Ken is there. I'm pretty ticked off because my mother claims she has no idea. Nor any idea where my Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, & brother's Hardy Boy's books are.
She is not senile. She either let some cousin's kid's take what they wanted or I don't know.
I forgive her, of course, but once I had our first granddaughter I was pretty excited to give my stuf f to her. No, they were not in the way, either, on the second floor and empty bedroom. I am now done with my selfish ways. They better not have been sold on e-bay (ok, I was not done).
When we moved to the farm I entered 5th grade and met new friends. A good friend, even now and one of the nicest people ever, had older siblings. She taught me cuss words and with Barbie and Ken, sex. Imagine my surprise when I was older!
Yes I grew up on a farm. Yes we had cows and horses, but I thought they were playing. Yes I was that naive and not pretending. And, yes, my husband had to explain some stuff to me.

In this short set on a UK variety show, I like to think that the second song literally takes place after the first, with him strumming his guitar while watching the world from heaven. The bassist is very sweaty by then, and while it was probably just from the hot studio lights, it's amusing to imagine that it was from the pressure of filling such big shoes on the backup vocals, since the album version had George Harrison himself for that (and backup acoustic guitar).

I had my pickup parked at Dad’s garage while I was deployed for a couple years. My niece took it without asking anyone about it, T-boned someone at an intersection with injury. I didn’t know anything about it. She just parked it in the garage and left it.
Then I started getting e-mails. “Hey, would it be OK if I drove your truck”? I said no way.

A pal of mine's mother gave away his Lionel train set to the next door neighbor kid while he did his 13 months in Vietnam. He was furious after he found out when he returned home. He walked over to the neighbor's house and the kid was playing with it in his sandbox.
I think that effected him more deeply than anything he experienced during his enlistment.

This is notable, as earlier today, news broke that Israel struck a key node for Russo-Iranian trade networks, the Bandar Anzali port on the Caspian Sea, striking C2 hubs, warships, and shipyard infrastructure.
Additionally, to those who think that Russia sending drones back to Iran is foolish due to Iran being the original producer, Russia has onshored production for much of its Shahed supply during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, and such measures have allowed them to produce and field Shaheds at scale in a LSCO environment.

On gambling, they made two mistakes.

Two, they should have bought a 900 number and redirected it, and put the 900 number on the flyers the gambling companies sent out. They'd be funding the entire state budget.

I can see I'm not over it.
The books really ticked me off as they were also mine and brother's. Not hers to feel all Lady Bountiful and give away. In a bookcase minding their own business at the top of the stairs, so, again, not in the way. She either got a wild hair to share or they were stolen.

We go home again in late May. IF my wedding dress box and hat have been opened, oh, boy. But what can you do? I will tell her, you betcha. That roaches got in and it's all ruined. Then slug some gin and move on.
Something has gone on upstairs and it ain't ghosts, begorrah. I think it's her maid.
She also gave her good friend who helps with the lawn and his wife full ok to wipe out the attic into a dumpster years ago. Which I did't care about.
Someone took our stuff and got a bit of $. And may blessings be heaped on their heads if they needed the money that bad. I guess.
She relies on both the maid and lawn guy and I am not going to go NCIS and solve the case, then blow outta there ripping up her life. It was simply a shock to my future plans.

There are still sleep clinics around. My local medical group has one.
I have to go in to get a newer Rx. No study, but one of the vendors I use raised a fuss on this last order about my 12 year old Rx. I've used them for over a decade, but they started a new Sleep Doctor service. I guess they expected me to use their service instead of canceling the order.... Silly people.

Rx for what? CPAP?
I am never going to a sleep clinic. I know a serial killer would be at my "study." For photos and probes.
Then I would have to kill him and go to prison with apnea.

You wear a monitor and it records pr bp o2, some record tossing and turning too. Then they analyze the results to see if the CPAP will help.

If it will help him sleep better...good. He has a crappy spine from 40yrs of long distance running plus his parent's genetics of arthritis. Never complains (like I do with a cold), but is in pain daily.
I will adjust. There will be some initial mocking, of course, as he gives it back to me with full force if anything is wrong with me.

Rx for the machine and masks. It can include supplemental oxygen, which thankfully I don't need.
My sleep study was strange. It was only supposed to be monitoring, but they woke me up part way through and. Put a mask on me because my oxygen levels were low - close to the point where I'd turn blue. Yes, I have severe sleep apnea.

"Joe Kent is being a dishonest hack. He worked for the NCTC which is not a law enforcement or investigative agency - he had ZERO role or 1811 investigative authority in this. This is like me saying I was “blocked” from playing receiver for the Commanders - it’s an issue of having no business or frankly ability doing something, not an issue of access. Furthermore, FBI actually made an early exception and allowed NCTC to assess intelligence reports, and International Terrorism returned zero connections. None. Joe Kent kept making things up anyway. The shameless media tour he’s on reeks of being desperate for attention and the baseless conspiracy theories he’s spreading about the admin, particularly Charlie’s murder, could very well make it more difficult to get justice for our friend.

Floor all the way. She has so many different colors to her voice and abilities. What she did with those songs is amazing. Tarja is frigging spectacular, but you really have to like that opera voice. Floor has that in spades, but its just not constantly. The end of the song shoemaker here is just unreal. The power in her voice is insane.

Folks got divorced and moved out of the big ol' family home while they sent me away to summer camp. All the books (early Hardy Boys & much more), records, toys, comics, keepsakes, Dad's O gauge train set, so much more... never did know what happened to any of it.
Kept accumulating and losing comics. Footlocker ransacked by my frat bros while I was away for a while. The whole 1960s Marvels et al. collection swiped and sold by a "friend." Some lost to nasty basement flooding in our Chicago years. A few other calamities.
Lots of personal stuff stored at our 'business' in town, when the ceiling tore open. Dumpsters of stuff hauled away. The old house we lived in here for decades, lots of stuff lost to time and critters after we moved out.
That big framed Middle Earth map that hung on my bedroom wall, thrown away by Mom when I dropped out of college, along with other treasures.
And so many other stories. Keeping me detached from earthly things in preparation for the Big Jump coming, I suppose. I know I can't take it with me, but I'd hoped to leave more behind.

Yeah thats a tough one. I know they have masonry repair compounds that can be mixed with dyes to match the color of the bricks. Not too bad if you got one color brick, but pain in the ass if you have multi color bricks. You have to wire brush out all the loose shit, patch the bricks, repoint everything with the right mortar, etc.

Major confrontation between China and the Philippines near the Scarborough Shoal.
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) have deployed 2 PCG vessels and 5 fishery patrol vessels to the shoal after Chinese Coast Guard vessels started harassing more than 20 Filipino fishing boats in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Philippines.
A Filipino Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight over the area documented 6 China Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, 20 China Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels, and one People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy) warship carrying out offensive activities in the area.

Ice-surfin' beaver. New Dog-Sieve Technology separates dogs by size. Springbok is happy and bouncy to see his caretaker. Find something you love like this dog loves his dirty random stick. Oooh that's the spot. Punch the Monkey is becoming the teachers pet. I'll allow it, he was rejected by his mom and then bullied. Bear has crazy bed-head. I don't have any bats today, but here's an Antarctic Sea Bat. I told you bears were out of control but you didn't believe me. Now they're doing the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance). Quitting time!

"Piccadilly Circus" comes frome the name of a road called simply "Piccadilly" -- but where the heck did THAT bizarre name come from?
Well, back in the medieval era, it was simply called "Reading Road" (or "the road going to Reading"), until a guy named Robert Baker bought a lot along the road in the 1600s, and started selling a trendy new fashion accessory in his shop -- wide lace collars that dudes (and ladies) would wear with their fancy outfits starting in the early 1600s. Those lace collars were first popularized in Spain, where they were called "picadillo," because the lace-work was "pierced" with holes (which is what "picadillo" means).When the fashion came to England, the word was corrupted and misspelled as "piccadill," and over time, because this guy was the main supplier of piccadlls to the fops and gentry of the era, the street his shop was on became known as the "Piccadill-y street." Seriously.
As for the "Circus" part: Later, the British invented these terrible kind of circular road intersections now called "roundabouts," but when they were first invented, they were called "circuses" with "circus" simply being Latin for "circle" or "round."

Anybody here know/remember the Rod McKuen song about Piccadilly Circus?
My mom was a huge McKuen fan. The only verse I can remember is this one -- actually this is the chorus: One more time around Piccadilly Circus, driver, follow that bus. It's a shame the way the rich folks act, 'cuz everybody's rich but us.
Verse: I bought my doggie a muzzle, so he wouldn't bite the man with the mail. But there lies the mailman dead on the walk, he killed him with his tail.
Oh, one more time around Piccadilly Circus . . .

Read every word of this.
It’s out.
@ChuckGrassley is an amazing fighter.
The subpoena released this morning by Chuck Grassley in connection with the fraudulent Arctic Frost investigation is absolutely staggering. It didn’t just ask for Kash Patel’s phone records, it asked for everything he did from 2020 to 2023.
Just to name a few, they requested all usernames and screen names, every address and email, complete billing and payment details including credit card and bank account numbers, every device ID, and a full log of every call, text, and voicemail showing who was contacted, when, and for how long. They also obtained all internet session data, including the exact IP addresses.
So this wasn’t just about who Kash called. It was basically a complete view of his entire life, mapping his daily routines, travel, relationships, finances, and even tracking the specific hardware he used. In short, they got a full digital shadow of his life.
To have come through all of this without so much as a scratch tells you just how clean he is.

Mr Krasner, you have just indicated yourself for conspiracy to violate civil rights. First and last warnings, try to handcuff and jail ICE agents, that is to unlawfully imprison them, and they will use any level of force up to including lethal force to resist that violation of their rights, and you will be immediately arrested for their rights violation with penalty up to including capital punishment. Resign effectively and charges against you may be suspended. Either way, suggest you turn yourself in.

IIRC, I am not sure they covered that ever in the show. Dont think so. In the books, Kirk is injured while on the Farragut bad knee injury. Bones is his assigned rehab doctor. They became fast friends and McCoy either joined Starfleet in order to serve with Kirk or Kirk got him for the Enterprise when he took command (or as quick as he could.)

Yeah, that's pretty much true. Kirk and McCoy have a true emotional bond of friendship. Spock is the "intellectual" friend. Both Kirk and McCoy see Spock as a friend (and vice versa), but the bond is a bit more distant because of Spock's Vulcan nature.

Evening, all,
Yes, but did Kirk ever risk his career, twice, to save McCoy/take the chance he could be revived? And the second time he lost his ship and his son in the bargain. There's more between K & S than just respect (and no, I'm not talking slash fan fiction stuff).
Like Solo and Illya on U.N.C.L.E. before them, Kirk and Spock are each other's Thousandth Man (see Kipling).

It was actually Sarek that requested the refusion (fal tor pan) that would rejoin Spock's katra with his body.
I believe Vulcan tradition was that the katra would be housed in another properly-prepared vessel in Mt. Seleya, but Spock's body was necessary to get the katra out of McCoy (as it was an empty vessel). Restoring Spock to life was dangerous and hadn't been attempted in thousands of years.

McCoy is clearly the closer friend. Wrath of Khan removes any doubt of this. It is McCoy who gives Kirk the glasses and forced Kirk to explain why he is so bent out of shape. It is also McCoy who teases Kirk about an old flame, only to get a rebuke. Spock did not know about this at all.

Don't recall the circumstances, but both were sort of shit out of luck and had nowhere else to turn. Not sure if that ever translated to an episode or movie. But I do remember the "back story" to the two of them. Might have been some writer's idea that never made it into the series or movies... *shrugs*

And it did not work, character wise i think. Data was the most functional character at the outset, the others were bland as dish water and not really characters. I am not sure they ever really fixed that. TOO ensemble.
With the TOS cast, you wanted to know more about them. You hungered for every nugget that got dropped in the story. They never HAD to do a fucking 'Datas day' episode where you focused on a specific character. When they did that in TNG I could not fucking care.
But the thing with story telling is often when the viewer imagines is better than any writer can come up with. So an air of mystery works really well.

Roddenberry wrote a book about Star Trek and it had a character biography followed by actor biography, which is pretty canonical.
I did not like TNG, though I watched it because of how broadcast TV worked at the time. I recall thinking the endings sucked - the setup was there, but the payoff always blew chunks.
I lost any interest in the franchise after that, I guess now one would call me a TOS purist, but whatever. That being said, I was all-in on Babylon 5, which had held up really, really well for a 90s show. Lots of Trek alums 'crossed over' and Walter Koenig's Bester is one of the best villains of all time.

I dunno. I have a strong admiration for Riker. More than once we saw Frakes, the actor, show us what Riker was feeling without saying a word, strong and admirable attitudes. His early remark to Data, when the latter says he would give up all he was to become human, "Hello, Pinocchio," was a classic ST line.
And Picard got dramatic storylines without having fight scenes, usually anyway. He was the interstellar Julius Caesar to Kirk's Alexander the Great.

Disaster! Warner Bros. Hires New Writer for Lord of the Rings Mid-quel: Steven Colbert
Good heavens, what an absolute disaster.
We have the Hunt for Gollum coming up, directed by Andy Serkis, who just remade Animal Farm as a pro-socialism, anti-capitalism message movie. And now Warner Bros. has hired this absolute assclown to write a draft of what is being called "The Shadow of the Past." The concept of the movie is not terrible: A good part of Fellowship of the Ring was cut out of the Lord of the Rings movies because of time restrictions and also because it contains the character Tom Bombadil, who is just a big ball of plot questions. Like, given that he has godlike power that makes even Gandalf and Elrond envious, why doesn't he just take the ring? (Tolkien's lame answer: Because he's flighty and would eventually just forget about the ring and let it go back to Sauron.) The reason this section of the book is worth possibly making a movie about is the creepy, scary encounter with the Barrow Wrights. If you know, you know. So Colbert, I guess, pitched the idea of doing these four chapters of LOTR as a stand-alone mid-quel movie. Couldn't they just have said "Yes that's an okay idea, here's $20,000 as a finder's fee, now fuck off"? Instead, they've given this poisonous troll the job of writing the movie.It's what I call "strip-mining the IP." New Line Cinema purchased the rights to The Lord of the Rings almost 30 years ago, and did them such glorious justice with the original movie trilogy. Inevitably, Jackson and New Line set about extracting every last bit of wealth until the original property looked like the Shire after the Scouring. What's it called when the greedy mining company takes the tailings from its strip mine and runs them through the smelter one more time with all the reckless abandon of Gollum diving after the One Ring into Mount Doom? Ah, yes -- it's called The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of the Past, and lame-duck late-night host Stephen Colbert will co-write it with his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, for Jackson and Warner Bros, which now owns New Line. Variety reported late Tuesday that Colbert, "a vocal Tolkien fanatic," and McGee will write a screenplay "from chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring that didn't make it into Jackson's 2001 adaptation."Here's this absolute piece of shit gloating that he conned his way into the gig. I for one will not be seeing it, even when additional writers are hired to rewrite Colbert's shoddy script -- and again, I think the basic idea of doing these four overlooked chapters is a decent one. Actually, it's half a decent idea: You can't do a whole movie about a single encounter with the forces of darkness, and one that is resolved without violence just because Tom Bomdadil sings. Yes, he's so powerful that his songs drive off the undead creatures stirred to unlife by the Witch King.* That's not a movie. That's a long Tales from the Crypt episode. They could instead do a two-part movie called, get this, "Lost Tales" (another Tolkien title), and do both the Barrow Downs encounter and the much-demanded "Scouring of the Shire" battle omitted from LOTR. Neither of these segments is long enough for its own movie, but packaged as a double feature, sure, why not. But I don't care either way, because I will not support Steven Colbert nor anyone who wishes to inflict this hateful prog Gollum on me. If anyone is doing the Hobbit/LOTR challenge with me -- starting the books today, "Tolkien Reading Day," so-called because the ring was destroyed on March 25th -- I will get in at least a couple of easy-breezy chapters of The Hobbit. I would read more, but I have to finish a Miss Marple novel, The Caribbean Mystery, and I have about 70 pages left of that. So I'll only be able to get a little bit into The Hobbit. (Don't worry, Agatha Christie is fast reading. It's no Hound of the Baskervilles.) I think I'm going to do a post about The Hobbit for Friday -- did you know the book was partially rewritten and Tolkien did a major in-universe retcon of it to make it fit with LOTR? Here's some better news in genre entertainment: The egregious woke Gay Klingon In a Skirt nightmare (and I'm not kidding about that detail) Starfleet: Chocolate Starfish Academy has been cancelled. The show will end after season 2, and if you're wondering "Why give them a season 2?" -- it's their new way of doing things. Rather than commit to a 20 episode season, they now say we're committing two "two seasons of 10 episodes each," which is really just one season split into two release windows. So "season 2" -- really season 1b-- was already contracted for and paid for and I think they're even already shooting it. But after that -- donezo.
EXCLUSIVE: “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will end with its upcoming second season.

* One thing you notice when reading LOTR is that Tolkien doesn't like violence and doesn't enjoy writing battles or valorizing war. He does when he absolutely has to, but if he can get away with it, he completely phones in any narrative about how a battle went. For example, after Aragorn raises the Army of the Dead -- the army of ghosts -- we never actually see them in combat. Ever. We only hear of them second-hand when Gimli or Legolas (Gimli, I think) quickly sums up the ghost army's defeat of the Umbar Corsairs in conversation with other characters. After the battle of Minas Tirith is over. Aragorn just shows up with a bunch of men for the fight with no ghosts. (The ghosts left his service after freeing captured men and sailors from the Umbar Corsairs, and it's these freed men who actually appear on the Pelennor Fields to fight the orc army.) So after the Army of the Dead is raised and you're sitting there thinking "Oh man, this is gonna be good...!" What you actually get is "Fuck you, the ghosts are already gone. You missed them, fatty. Now go fuck yourself in the face, jerkoff."
He does this a lot. The fantastic end battle of Fellowship, where the Uruk Hai kill Boromir and kidnap Merry and Pippin? Also only told in retrospect by a dying Boromir. It's like three paragraphs told in retrospect by a dying man who doesn't exactly have a lot of breath in him to tell an exciting tale. A lot of the time, we don't see battles. We just hear about it later. Not gonna lie, it's pretty deflating. I realize I'm not making a good case for reading these books. They're good, seriously. Just... a lot lighter on actual action than you might be expecting.

I don't think they signed off on this particular project. I think Warner Bros has the license to do movies based on the Hobbit and LOTR, and they can continue making whatever movies they want so long as the contractual terms are met.
Like how Sony has the right to just keep doing Spider-Man movies so long as they abide by the terms of the license (which I think requires a Spider-Man movie ever seven years or something.)

I'm not sure yet. I do like how Miss Marple is a big liar in this one. I don't really know where the plot is going. She had three suspects, and then just decided that she might have the facts completely wrong and now everyone's a suspect. I don't know if she has a really great master plan for the book or she's just winging it.
I guess you're telling me she does have a good master-plan? Good to know!
I know sometimes she just makes it up as she goes. She did that in The Blue Train, the worst Christie novel I've read. (And one she acknowledges is a bad book.)

Christopher was his son, and a WW II veteran.
Tolkien sold the movie rights while he was still alive for a pittance, because he felt it was impossible to film. He wasn't wrong.
The Estate later did a separate deal for TV, which is what Amazon owns. There are also divisions on what counts as LotR and what doesn't.

Well, he was there in the battle where the English soldiers were marched in lines, essentially, towards entrenched German soldiers to be murdered in tens of thousands by machine gun and heavy artillery fire. Retarded generalship producing rivers of needless blood spilled might give one a jaundiced view of the whole thing.

Bombadil is a woodland spirit, part of traditional European folklore. He's the hidden guardian of the Shire, the guy who does all the work, but hides it. He is of the same kind as Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, the Balrog and Sauron, all being of the Maiar, or lower angelic order. The Valar are the highest order.
He does not turn invisible because he is not subject to Sauron's power, especially in his own lands. Goldberry, his spouse, is also a of the Maiar. Sort of a fairy goddess.
His purpose is to show that there are powers for good, hidden around the world, just as they are in our world. That is to say that there are fallen angels, but also ones who serve God in various ways who are just as real.

Basically the entire world was created by a song and even those Ainur singing Illuvatar's melody (gods lower case) that would later become evil like Morgoth and Sauron sang to create the world. And Morgoth purposefully added discordant notes to the song so as to become his own person apart from Illuvatar and the other Ainur.
Thus a world created by song can be dominated by someone who can tap that primordial power like Tom Bombadil because he, nature, and the song of creation are essentially the same thing--expressed through different lens.

I think there is more to Bombadil than being an Ainur. He is a living representative and relic if you will of the song of creation of that world itself.
You see something similar with Merlin in Boorman's retelling of King Arthur, probably on purpose as Boorman originally wanted to do the LOTR as a movie.

To me, they showed the hobbits there there was indeed an innate goodness to the world, and that everything in Middle Earth was alive...
Unless I read that part in my "schrooms" phase, then I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about...

The Dead Marshes are the fields of Flanders, churned up by years of war. You struggle through the craters, obliterated trenches with no drainage and troops often drowned in liquid mud. At the bottom of the craters one could find the dead, corpses and pieces of them everywhere. Once you know what he is describing, the charnel smell, the lights of flares going up, flashes all around, you will realize it is creepy as hell.
Same with Mordor. Barren. Blasted and so defiled that only the sea could make it clean. Again, hiding in holes, merciless heat, and poison gas lurking in the hollow, choking with painful thirst. High summer, having to hold a forward position and out of water. The relief party is late, maybe dead. Nibbling on some hard tack you brought with you, canteen almost dry.

Yes, but I couldn't get into it because the premise made no sense. A battalion out of contact would quickly be brought back in. The communications trenches were obsessively kept clear, and if for some reason the Fuller phones were down, they actually used carrier pigeons and signal rockets. There is no way you would send runners through enemy lines to call off an attack, and anyway, no commander would do that.
They did raids, but would never throw the whole unit in at once without a plan. "Gallipoli" was a much better film.

Well, he was there in the battle where the English soldiers were marched in lines, essentially, towards entrenched German soldiers to be murdered in tens of thousands by machine gun and heavy artillery fire. Retarded generalship producing rivers of needless blood spilled might give one a jaundiced view of the whole thing.

That's not really how it went. The Brits actually came out ahead in casualties in most of those battles, even the Somme. The key was the artillery barrages and the casualties inflicted when the Germans tried to retake the trenches.
But that image is set in people's minds. Like the slog in the mud in Branagh's version of Agincourt.

Tolkien paid careful attention to time and distance, and has his field manual next to him as he wrote, and that's why people can overlay the movement of the Fellowship and armies on a map of Middle Earth in pretty exact ways.
The dates are tied to the Catholic liturgical calendar. March 25 is the Solemnity of the Annunciation, when Christ became incarnate, and the overthrow of Sauron was tied to that great victory over evil.

Read LOTR in seventh grade and all the subsequent releases of bits and bobs until mebbe the 90's. I like Tolkien and admire his writing but at this stage in my life, epic fantasy is just not that attractive to me.
And many of his imitators were far worse than his writings.
Same with reading a bunch of noir and detective books about ten years ago. Now, I mainly read non-fiction with a few non fiction books scattered here and there.

Yeah, me too. What they showed is that overwhelming evil can be met with overwhelming good, and that great power doesn't have to lord over the land.
The entire point of LOTR is the hobbits, the least creatures, the simplest, the merriest, the happiest, creatures of the land can conquer the ultimate evil, simply by their own simplicity and joy. The scouring of the Shire is the bookend to Tom Bombadil. The Hobbits, who went on the adventure, LAUGH at evil, and go about driving it from the shire with little effort.

No, that's a myth. The armies on all sides struggled with the unprecedented situation, one for which their doctrine was completely inadequate. The war saw continuous tactical evolution, and a 1914 trench was not the same as one in 1915, or 1916, and by 1918, they no longer used continuous lines but rather a network of strong points linked by communications trenches making a very deep battlefield.
Flamethrowers, aircraft, tanks, poison gas, even mining were all attempted to break the deadlock. The notion that fat, drunk old men just ordered troops to charge is totally false.

A lot of the French casualties occurred during the absolute stupidity of the Battle of the Frontiers. Cran was not a substitute for attacking the entrenched Germans. Verdun was another meatgrinder.
The Brits had some casualties until the Somme where they somehow came to the conclusion that human wave attacks would relieve Verdun by drawing off the Germans.
There was an Avalon Hill game, not particularly popular, called 1914. It had the grim attrition figures on units and due to its realism was a pita to play and not particularly enjoyable to watch your units degraded and massive casualties.

I'll stick with the Lord of the Rings Online version of this plotline.
You travel with Bombadil to the Great Barrow and confront a "Gaunt Lord" in his lair after he's met with one of the Nazgul.
Tom swoops in at the last minute and opens the Great Barrow to the sky, thus letting in the sunlight, which destroys the evil undead creature.

Exactly! Bombadil is a *guardian angel* and he is there to show that God did not abandon the world to the fallen angels. He is still working. Bombadil won't leave where he is, because then he would fail the people he is protecting. That's his one job.
He would find the Ring boring and lose it because it has no power over him or his land. "Oh look, one of the bad ones made a ring. Whatever. Spring is almost here! Must get ready!"

That is the most striking thing about them. Archie is an American-style detective; Nero is a Brit style - and obviously derived from Mycroft.
Well, the other thing you remember is the food. Not many writers go into details on meals as Stout does. O'Brian's Aubreys do sometimes, and Saki did a couple of times. Of course there is M. Pamplemousse, where the food is the real point. (Not great mysteries, though.)

Correct. The narrative of shit filled trenches filled with dying men and whole villages of related men of a generation being wiped out was Bolshevik propaganda which took hold of western europe, especially Britain, after the war and became "fact", as it was "cool" to be a socialist after the war. The Brits were the main innovators in trying new things and new tactics and new weapons, all though not all went well at times.

Something that a lot of people don't realize: LotR is written as an actual history book. The one Frodo was working on at the end? That's it.
And everything in the book had an eye witness. There is no Narrator who sees all.
So when you hear a story told in flashback, that is how it got to Frodo. We don't know much of what happened in Boromir's fight because he died. It is amazing if you think about it, and if you read it enough times, you learn who is the one who wrote each section.
Talk about character immersion!

The Hobbit is a pretty good story, but it's written almost as a travelogue of Bilbo's adventures.
Very little dialog between characters.
Mostly expository prose as the narrator chats with the reader about the significance of various locations of Middle Earth and Bilbo's encounters in those locales.

Its apparently really disjointed, because each episode is written by someone else (a few did more than one, but never in sequence) and directed by other people. So each character is really different from show to show, and there's an odd continuity that is wildly inconsistent; One show, they see some people die. Next show they are having fun on spring break. Thirst show, they are all super depressed and need therapy because of the dead people two shows ago they showed no regret or concern about.
The characters are forgettable except for how obnoxious and dumb they are. Nearly all the women are fat and unattractive except for the one who looks kinda like that girl from Daily Wire that left for her own show. ALL the guys are tall and ripped and handsome. Its like it was written by fat blue haired readers of romantasy novels

SPOILER: That's exactly who wrote it and who their desired audience is.
As for continuity, I had heard about those problems. It's like they had NO PLAN for any of this going forward. No actual mythic story arc, no character development, no show bible, nothing. They just winged it the entire time.
Idiots.

The Wolfe character was supposedly a Sherlock Holmes type introvert who played with orchids, never went out and "Deduced" while Archie was a much smarter and street wise character than Dr. Watson; their interplay was better.
Archie liked chicks.

The Americans are what enabled the deadlock to be broken. All other parties had bled themselves to death including financially.
Both France and UK figured from the get go after the Marne that Americans entering the war on their side was essential to secure a win.
In an attrition strategy, the only way to win is like Grant in the ACW, he had about a 3:1 advantage in many of his campaigns so he could trade casualties even with the Rebs and still win.
That is if you can sustain the moral outrage in society from seemingly pointless slaughter. Arguing domestically that we are sending troops to the slaughter so that they in turn can slaughter the enemies but more so is something not readily defensible in any Western society for long.

Yes. The British were a mess, with Lloyd George refusing to send troops forward to Haig, who he figured would just get them killed.
When the US showed up, the French and British wanted to use us as replacements. No bueno. We want our own sector, so they gave us the worst one on the front, and we hammered our way through, albeit at a loss rate that seems unreal. Something like 160,000 men in A MONTH.
Getting back to Tolkien, some folks want more action, but he is writing history, so yes, he has the commanders argue over strategy and go over the numbers of men they have left. Any reinforcements? What about that crossroads?
That's why it feels so real.

Food matters. It adds to the richness, and also the tension as Frodo and Sam run low on food and then water becomes critical.

That reddit thread where he gloats says he's a Tolkien expert.
Who knows, maybe he'll do a decent job.
Come on. He can't even write his own f**king jokes without soundling like a one note r*tard. He's going to f**k it into a ditch and they're going to lose a sh*t ton of money.

I think Monk was one of the first shows that USA had that was original; i think Psych and Burn Notice followed soon after.
I like Tony Shaloub and Ted Levine together but I think i stopped watching after season 3 or so because of the same reason you mention. It just felt like they were going nowhere with the character and just putting him in different situations to react to.
Psych and Burn Notice on the other hand, i never missed an episode and bought the DVD collections. Then they came up with some slick lawyer show and I pretty much stopped watching the channel.

Yvonne had a chipped front tooth, fixed before season 2. I thought the imperfection made her more beautiful, like Cindy Crawford's mole.
Loved the fight she had with another woman. Not a weirdo, but you see her panties if you have it on DVD and go very slow forward.
It was a fun dumb show. Reminded me of the shows I loved in the '70's growing up.

Quick Hits
U.S. Senator John FettermanIf you missed it, Julie Kelly says this photo of the murderer-migrant indicates he may be Tren de Aragua and may have killed Sheridan as part of a murder-your-way-in gang initiation ritual. I don't know why she says that. Maybe he's flashing a TdA gang sign or something. This judge overseeing a lawsuit against Elon Musk has previously mocked him online, but refuses to recuse herself. Because she hates him, and she wants to be the one to bring him down.
@SenFettermanPA As a father, I grieve for Sheridan's parents for this unspeakable tragedy. This was a failure of not holding criminal migrants accountable and not protecting the public--and another tragic reason why I was the Dem lead on the Laken Riley law.
Elon Musk demands judge's recusal over 'support' of LinkedIn post that mocked him after $2B verdict Elon Musk is demanding a Delaware judge step aside from a high-stakes Tesla case after she allegedly "supported" a LinkedIn post mocking a $2 billion verdict against him in a separate California case. Lawyers for Musk and Tesla filed a motion in Delaware's Court of Chancery seeking the recusal of Chancellor Kathaleen St. J. McCormick from overseeing consolidated shareholder lawsuits, arguing her conduct "create[s] a perception of bias" that taints the proceedings. The explosive filing centers on activity tied to McCormick's LinkedIn account following a federal jury verdict in California that found Musk liable over tweets he posted in 2022 about his $44 billion Twitter deal. The complaint includes a screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Harry Plotkin, a Southern California-based jury consultant who worked with the legal team that sued Musk for securities fraud in San Francisco federal court. "Sorry, Elon. Sorry, Quinn Emanuel," Plotkin wrote, referring to Musk and the law firm that represented him. "Thanks $2 billion for your help in this trial. It was a pleasure working against you. Congratulations to the trial team at Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP and Bottini Law for standing up for the little guy against the richest man in the world." The filing alleges the post was promoted by McCormick's account, with a banner above it reading: "Katie McCormick supports this." McCormick has denied intentionally endorsing the post, claiming she was unaware of the interaction until LinkedIn notified her she had used the heart-in-hand "support" icon, according to the Financial Times. "I either did not click the 'support' icon at all, or I did so accidentally. I do not believe that I did it accidentally," she wrote in a letter to attorneys. As alleged in the filing, LinkedIn's "Support" reaction -- shown as a heart cradled in an outstretched hand -- requires a deliberate selection from multiple options and is generally interpreted as a stronger endorsement than a standard "Like," which is the platform's default, one-click response. A separate LinkedIn post criticizing Musk also drew engagement from the judge's chambers, with a staff account "liking" a message saying "so many people who should be so deeply ashamed of themselves seem incapable of being so," according to the filing. In the filing, Musk's lawyers argue the LinkedIn activity strikes at the core of judicial impartiality, writing that the posts "are not simply negative criticism" but "inflammatory," mocking Musk and his attorneys while celebrating a multibillion-dollar verdict against them.They refuse to recuse themselves even when their is blazing evidence of bias precisely because they are biased and emotionally invested in the outcome of the trials they rig.

The main flaw with the system is that it relies almost entirely on honor and dignity to restrain judicial abuse. No one can force a judge to recuse themselves, so they don't. No one punishes a judge for letting a murderer go free 87 times, so they do. No one punishes a judge for making stupid rulings, in fact they get promoted by Democrats. There's no cost.
All of that and more was supposed to be prevented by having sober, honorable, dignified men who loved the law and justice over themselves. And as a last resort, legislators can remove them from their office, but it almost never happens, and is almost impossible to even make happen.

The whole judge thing is a win-win, because if she doesn't recuse Musk has good grounds for an appeal, and the judiciary as a whole looks even more shamelessly corrupt.
This is a necessary precondition should Trump choose to begin ignoring them because he can point to example after example where they beclowned themselves like this.

On the plus side, a lot of these judges are also completely corrupt and have likely committed other crimes on the side, because if they feel so arrogant as to abuse power in high-profile cases, you can be sure they did it elsewhere.
I think Trump has been letting Boasberg and crew drag things out because they knew there would be stuff coming out about a criminal conspiracy to deprive him of his civil rights, and we're seeing more of that.
All impeachment does is remove a judge from a bench. Jailing them is better.

It's about how you approach it. It is not a single, cohesive work but instead a series of essays. You don't have to read it in order. Many of the chapters are effectively standalone in terms of characters (especially humans).
Skip the first part, which is very symbolic and about the creation of the world. Dig into the early chapters about the origin of the elves and stuff. Or the darkening of Valinor. That's the good stuff.
Christopher Lee recorded himself reading bits of it, and it's great. People love it because it is severely *metal* with heroes fighting against impossible odds at a scale well beyond LotR. Dragons are actually involved in battle, and don't always win because the heroes of old were frickin' HARD.

Miss Linda made me watch the 2025 film Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. I'm no Bruce fan; he mumbles when he should be singing. But the film, focusing on his depression as he put together his 1982 album Nebraska, was pretty darn interesting. It's a drama, not a documentary. If nothing else, the 1970s-1980s cars are fascinating.

A name like "Brennan" and he converted to Islam? I'm assuming he's Irish American. Um, not to say that Irish are into drinking or anything, but as a Muslim he has to stop sucking down the Irish whiskey. Apologies to our Irish American morons.

I'm sure all you hard Tolkien buffs are revved up that none other than Stephen Colbert is writing a script for a new LOTR movie.
Posted by: Nelly
=====
The Silmarillion is fragmentary as it was simply the manuscripts that Christopher found of his fathers that were most complete and unless you are really interested in Tolkien's world building mythos, a bit confusing, depressing, and hard to connect like a massive Russian or French novel is for some.
The rest of Tolkien's unfinished bits are worse; useful if you want to know what he considered the mythos behind the Trilogy. If you want something a bit more complete from Tolkien than his mythos back stories, read Sir Gawain and the Green Night, Pearl (this is a translation from older English), or my personal favorite--Farmer Giles of Ham.

If you track it down, there is an interview with Springsteen's original manager who got fired somewhere about the time of Born to Run was released and right before Darkness and he was replaced by red diaper baby Jon Landau.
Basically, Springsteen wanted to be famous and celebrity over that of being a unique musician. His original manager wanted him to go another way like his earlier stuff.
Landau is probably the one that pointed Springsteen directly at becoming much more political as Landau himself was very politically left in his previous career as a rock journalist.

Not true. These were his first writings and they make up discrete narratives that are somewhat linked. It's closer to a Conan the Cimmerian collection. The places and characters repeat, and build upon each other, but the episodes also somewhat stand by themselves.
It is darker than LotR because it was written in the immediate aftermath of World War I, and that gives it the raw, brutal feel that sets it apart. But it is also supremely heroic, with Beren and Luthien doing the impossible and stealing jewels from the very crown of Morgoth. Epic.
And even when the good guys lose, they go down fighting hard. Hurin being taking alive after slaughtering 70 orcs by himself, Fingolfing, High King of the Nolder engaging Morgoth and single combat and wounding him permanently.
It is great stuff. Also: no hobbits.

They do win because God is good, and He will win.
But good people will die, because it is a fallen world. They key is that death is not the worst thing that can happen to us. It will happen to us all. What is more important is the time after death, because we will be dead far longer than we are alive.

And the more he thought about that, the more he wanted to leave LOTR as it was. Because as I said above, Tolkien thought that Frodo only had to show up. "The One who is always present" takes care of the defeat of Sauron, from there. This is precisely in keeping with Tolkien citing that Frodo's failure is the climax.
He also said that it is pretty popular to believe that Samwise is "better" than Frodo, but Sam hadn't had to carry the ring. That revisionism. Thus, JRRT is saying that Sam would have failed too--perhaps even earlier.

Skip to the rebellion of the Noldor and have a cheat sheet handy for the sons of Finwe. Feanor, Finarfin, Fingolfin, and then their children.
These elves are not the ones from LotR. Much more impulsive and violent. And in the early battles they completely kick ass.
The dwarves are cool, too, fighting Glaurung the dragon and wearing steel masks to defeat his heat, forming a ring around him and pounding him with great axes. Beautiful.

Not a tremendous fan of heroic fantasy. I reread the original trilogy about 5-6 years ago but simply lack the interest to tackle it again. More so with the Simarillion or Christopher's other edited volumes. Doubt I will ever read the Hobbit again.

You're thinking of the evangelicals. Lutherans still celebrate Easter -- starting with Lent, Ash Wednesday, Lenten services every Wednesday evening, Palm Sunday, Holy Week with Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services, and then Easter Sunday. And Easter is not just one day, it is until Ascension Day.
So yes, Christians still celebrate Easter.

After Treasonous RINO Cucks Sell Out Conservatives to Make a Deal with Democrats on DHS Funding, Democrats Reject The Deal They Proposed and Were Granted, Sensing Weaknes and Demanding Still Further Concessions
It's almost like negotiating with the Iranian Mullahs.
And it will also take shock and awe to defeat them.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ DHS funding deal is falling apart. Senate GOP offered to fund all of DHS, except ICE's deportation wing (ERO). Dems just countered and demanded additional concessions, they want major ICE reforms (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc). GOP says why would we agree to reforms for an agency being defunded? Dems had an offer on the table to carve out ICE's removal operations, and fund everything else within DHS, and they are saying no. They are demanding ICE reforms for an agency they aren't going to fund. GOP saying no. And the shutdown continues - now on day 40.
Stephen L. MillerIf you want to know why we can't just end the filibuster -- say hello to Utah Senator John Curtis, who is taking Adam Schiff's position on deportations, surprising the CNBC host who said he expected he'd be arguing with Schiff, not the Republican. Curtis says the following: 1, We need "compassion" in handling illegal alien criminals 2, We need to grant amnesty for anyone who "merely" violated our immigration laws for 20 years (and he seems to think that identity theft should be considered an "oopsie" as well) 3, We never settled on what the punishment for illegal immigration is -- yes we did, it's deportation plus jail time for additional infractions, as Black Conservative Perspective points out -- so it's unfair to punish any of the illegals for committing crimes. He refuses again and again to endorse deportations of any kind. He just keeps avoiding the question by talking about "compassion."
@redsteeze "Dems had an offer on the table to carve out ICE's removal operations." This is 100% about keeping illegal migrants in the country. Nothing more.
Your GOPe, everyone. Still in charge, somehow. Maybe it is time to burn it all down.

I emailed my ostensibly Republican senator from Maine - telling her to sh*t or get off the pot with regards to Thune's failure theatre.
The ongoing shut down is simply too ripe an opportunity for the Republicans to prove just how bipartisan they are.
If I were an ICE agent, I'd be looking for dual citizenship somewhere like Argentina or something because we know when these f*cking dickless idiots lose to the Democrats in November and then in 2028, those poor agents will be the first ones paraded to the gallows by a Robespierre-like mob of leftists with their hands on the levers of government.

The answer is graft paid by the contractor.
Meanwhile...
TSA line wait times at Houston Hobby Airport (mostly a Southwest hub these days) have been less than 10 minutes all day long, so far this week. That's good because I'm flying out of Hobby tomorrow.
At the much larger Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport, wait times on Monday were four hours most of the day. Today that's been cut in half. Why? I don't know. Why longer wait lines than at Hobby Airport? I don't know.

Mostly false. We teach that Jesus is a spirit child of God the Father, as are all of God's children, including Lucifer. Lucifer was a prominent child of God, but lost his inheritance when he rebelled against God, was cast out, and became Satan. Satan is not Jesus' brother, nor is he our brother, he lost his inheritance.
Brigham Young preached that Adam was God.
Yes, but it's complicated. BY thought out and developed this theory over a period of about 30 years. You can find quotes from BY where he specifically says he does NOT believe Adam is God.
Oh, and God has a wife.
Yes. I personally believe this is a beautiful thing.
And God didn't create the universe.
We believe a sort of creatio ex materia rather than creatio ex nihilo.
He was a man once.
Nope. We believe God has a body, but there is no canonized doctrine on how that happened. Joseph Smith talked about one possibility, but it's not canon.

Islam relies on slavery. Judaism threw up so many restrictions on their servants that you can't call it slavery anymore. Orthodox Christianity had people like Gregory of Nyssa preaching against it, and Augustine trying to end it, and the whole of northern Europe just banning it.

Trump vetos EVERY piece of legislation until DHS is funded, in full, and the SAVE Act is passed to Sen. John Kennedy's exact specifications.
ICE becomes a permanent fixture at airports.
Further, Trump will encourage and endorse the primarying of any Republican unwilling to put the agenda forward including even speaking about Amnesty in any form or opposing ICE, even after he leaves office.
Trump's track record on purging neocon holdovers is superb.

Does this case remind anyone of the "Kate" Steinle murder in San Francisco, 2015? Ms. Steinle was walking on a pier with her dad when the shooting occurred and it, too, was often described as a "in the wrong place at the wrong time" occurrence.
What was he verdict, you ask? In November 2017, a jury acquitted García Zárate of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and involuntary manslaughter. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a conviction that was later overturned on appeal (though federal charges followed).
(Thanks to AO Overview in part.)
The case became a national flashpoint, heavily cited by Donald Trump and other politicians to criticize "sanctuary city" policies and illegal immigration.
As I harp, the Dems. have no F***ing plans other than to keep repeating what has worked in the past because they know how stupid the average voter is.

Afterlife wasn’t terrible.
It revolves around Egon’s daughter, who he left along with her mother, and her children moving to Egon’s house after he dies mysteriously.
It’s at least interesting and becomes a nostalgia fest by the end when all the original Ghostbusters show up, along with Egon’s ghost, to save the day in a cornfield battle finale.
The sequel was not as good by far.

Around 20 U.S. airports operate without federal TSA agents at security checkpoints, instead using private contractors through the Screening Partnership Program (SPP) at CNN. While private companies handle screening, these airports still adhere to federal security standards and oversight. Major airports in this program include San Francisco (SFO), Kansas City (MCI), and Orlando Sanford (SFB) .
It's not new.
CNN, 20 US airports don’t have TSA. Passengers there are not seeing long lines, Mar 21st.
In part, "Jacobson, the professor who studies aviation security systems, thinks of privatizing more of like a “partnership.” He points to NAV CANADA, which has operated Canada’s air traffic control system since it privatized in 1996.
“You don’t set the standards in the private sector,” Jacobson said. “You deliver the final product… in the private sector.”

Pointing fingers at Mormons is as ridiculous as pointing fingers at Jews for any current problems.
If I'm pointing fingers it's at every denomination that has let PC/woke BS infect their beliefs.
The other problem is the one we conservatives have had forever now(I know everyone here already knows this) and the one in the previous thread is with pols like John Thune. If we vote for them they burn us. If we don't vote for them then we're just handing it over to the Dems. Utah is having the same problem everyone else is having with politicians from both parties in every state.
Mormons are the problem in Utah? I don't think so. Jews the problem in the Middle East? I don't think so.
Our problems are cultural and good people are caught up in it worldwide. It's that simple.

In theory, the tax exemption of churches was to help keep them independent from government pressure, and because churches do a lot of the stuff that government would or could do, saving money from the government.

Providing guidance services and strategies that make Chicago a healthier and safer city.
Tuberculosis Screening for New Arrivals
Explains that as part of the medical examination that new arrivals to the US must complete, TB is a must. "Examples of recent new arrival programs that require a TB screen are Uniting for Ukraine and Operation Allies Welcome.
(Yeah, we know that probably didn't happen either but...)
Unfortunately, CDPH no longer provides routine TB screening services to the public. Many health clinic and doctor's offices in Chicago can test someone for TB. For a list of some of the places in Chicago, please see below.
I omitted the above list. However, take note that TB is a serious disease that is transmitted through the air from person to person. Physical containment and treatment is highly specialized, as is the protection and training of all medical personnel who treat and monitor TB cases.

Those ignoring their "responsibilities" are, ultimately "responsible" for what happens next to both factions.

You Don't Hate the Media Enough: The Same Media That Claimed Biden Was Sharp as a Tack Now Claims That Trump's Aides Hide How Badly the War is Going From Him
Flashback: Biden meets with his Secretary of Covert Egg Deployment
NBC "News," which totally has tip-top sources close to Donald Trump, claims that aides have to hide the actual state of the war from Trump and only show him a highlight reel of successful bombings/missile strikes to make him happy, because he's retarded at an atomic level. And he just doesn't understand why people don't understand how well the war is going -- because his aides hide the awful truth from this senile moron. The public does not in fact know how well the war is going, because the media only reports false claims from Iran PR officers, because they know their audience consists entirely of Retarded At An Atomic Level shitlibs who would freak if they knew the war was going well. Sooooo... I guess half-credit to NBC for getting the gist of the disconnect right? Ed Morrissey:
Somehow, the president who did all of this in less than a month is being isolated and misled by his aides, according to NBC News:Note that the media just accepted the claims of Iran's PR ministers that they are not begging for a cease-fire and Trump is a big fat liar -- only to have to admit 48 hours later that they had been water-carriers for Iran yet again, and that Trump was telling the truth.
Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said. The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of "stuff blowing up." The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn't the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He's also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said. But the video briefing is fueling concerns among some of Trump's allies that he may not be receiving -- or absorbing -- the complete picture of the war, now in its fourth week, two of the current officials and the former official said.
Iran's totally winning you guys. That's why the family members of the Regime are fleeing to Russia and Afghanistan -- they're so beautiful this time of year -- and Basij "Morality" Police are refusing to man their checkpoints. Meanwhile, NPR is shocked to discover that Iranians support the American/Israeli airstrikes and know far, far more people killed by Regime thugs than by the airstrikes.
... Trump made the Protection Racket Media look like a bunch of saps. Even worse, it exposed the US media industry as being invested in America's failure if it also carries an opportunity to damage Trump. Having been exposed as water-carriers for the IRGC, now NBC wants to deflect from that revelation by painting Trump as somehow disengaged, isolated, and uninformed, which might just be the biggest case of projection since Thomas Edison invented the motion-picture industry. The most stunning part of this new narrative is its transplantation, root and branch, from the actual reality of Joe Biden's presidency and the media's role in covering it up.
Talking to Iranians who have fled to Armenia, I have heard largely the same. One a few days ago told me: "I don't know anyone who was killed in the strikes. I know 22 people who were killed by the regime in January." https://t.co/JqZz0LjcNk

It's a strange thing - The MSM informs us that Iran had a brilliant pre-conflict contingency plan for 16(?) commanders to act independently in case the US took out their national leadership and the communication nets.
Now we are being told to believe that there is a central authority speaking for the entire country. This is based on pre-recorded video posted on the internet.
Including cardboard-cutouts with photographs taped to the cardboard.
I wonder how many of those possibly "independent" commanders are ready to deal? Give them a deadline?

Iran Issues Its 5 Conditions for Ending the War
Iran lays out five specific conditions under which Iran would agree to end the war, via PressTV. These include:
1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

I've noticed since the 2024 victory, reddit and others (who have no imagaination whatsoever) are using the true stuff about Biden: his dementia, his health, etc to throw at Trump. Right,right, right. Sure.
If I did not despise reddit and MSM so much I'd almost feel sorry for their lack of original ideas.
They don't know any more than I do what is going on with the Iranian war. I simply pray to God that it will be over when it's over (and impossible for them to build up nuke stuff again).Prayers for our military.
I think President Trump is playing diplomacy with the inbreds. They then conclave to see who is in charge, go jihad with each other, and get bombed, but send out their insane 5 Point Surrender Monkey statement before becoming red mist. Rinse. Repeat.

It's also my understanding that it's mostly limited to tankers already in the Persian Gulf as of three weeks ago.
Every one getting out, there isn't one going back in, or at least as many.
Oil is being rerouted to other exits from the region by pipeline and the incoming ships are going around the eastern side of Saudi Arabia.

65 One problem with the Hormuz "closure" is that tankers are paying tolls to the IRGC to get through without getting droned. That profits the IRGC and also Russia.
The "closure" is a side-sanction on the West-allied Gulf states as long as it lasts.
This calculus could change as long as IRGC personnel keep, uh, getting killed before they can enjoy their new wealth. And if Iran loses more materiel to allied strikes.

I think it's even smarter than it appears on first blush. The UK has had an inordinate amount of control over worldwide shipping because of the dominant position Lloyd's has held in maritime insurance for many decades. All they had to do in this case was threaten to cancel insurance of tankers transiting the Strait and ground things to a halt.
Lossing that monoply long term would be a huge blow to the UK's global power.

And once they're done, Sunni's everywhere are going to delight in stomping on their religious graves. I imagine a few will linger on in remote areas, but after 1200 years, Shiism will be mostly dead.

FoxNews
CBC - updates on bombings of Iran, Lebanon, they'll air President Trump speaking.
CNN - war coverage, not too bad. When they get the talking heads going though they wonder about end game, why the strait wasn't protected, gas prices, etc
MS Now - they actually surprised me a few times. But talking heads have referred to President Trump as an idiot, selfish, unprepared, etc.
Separately, I'm wondering how Australia is doing with regards to fuel and gas. Last I heard, they're making an unexpected beeline to NetZero.

DHS funding deal is falling apart.
Senate GOP offered to fund all of DHS, except ICE’s deportation wing (ERO).
Dems just countered and demanded additional concessions, they want major ICE reforms (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc).

Given Fetterman's strong criticism of his own party over DHS-ICE funding, the Dem leadership is digging its own hole even deeper.
If Thune is actually playing six-dimensional chess against Chuck Schumer (I think checkers would suffice at this point) and he's pushing the Dem Party into a public, utter rout, then I'll give him a golf clap if the end result gets the Save America Bill and the DHS funding passed.

Have the Iranian killed even one American soldier yet?
I saw that there have been a handful of US fatalities so far, but from what I saw they were all due to accidents during training or whatever -- none due to enemy fire.
Or have I missed something?
If so -- no US deaths from fighting -- then this really counts as one of the most "successful" wars ever, so far. We just pick them off, and they have no valid military response.

And Kuwait shot down more of our (manned) aircraft than Iran has.
The critics pump up the numbers by including unmanned Reaper drones; about 10 have been lost. It pisses me off since they're expensive, but the US has been known to fly those low and slow over enemy air defenses just to see where the most anti-air fire is coming from.

The Iranians are reduced to attacking civilian areas because their accuracy is not good enough anymore to go after military targets. So they simply spray missiles and drones everywhere including their putative allies like Oman.
Not a winning strategy as Ace noted above, even Lebanon got a missile/drone hit in a residential area. I think all command and control links are severed and whoever is left in these autonomous IRGC districts is simply shooting what they have wherever they can or they risk losing it.

BUT - look at how this war is being conducted. Trump may be talking to the cameras like he wished they were reasonable people, but in actual fact we're still blowing them up and knocking out the leaders we can find. I image the elimination of high value targets has gone done because the survivors have gotten very good at hiding out; I've heard that a couple of them are now staying full time deep inside a couple of Tehran's largest hospitals, confident that those are at least one thing we won't bomb.
And don't worry about backing off the plan to blow up power plants - that was a good threat, but a terrible idea to actually implement. Would have hurt the opposition more than it would hurt the regime, which wants everyone to suffer at American hands.

My guess is a military dictatorship of some kind with a fake civilian government. Basically the same setup as today but without the IRGC in the driver seat but possibly the Regular Army.
High risk though for a civil war as the public in Iran probably wants payback for the thousands of lives lost to the IRGC and their mullah supporters. That makes the command level of IRGC as dead enders. Dunno about the lower ranks but like TSA screeners, I suspect they will start to melt away with no pay.

The battle space is greatly diminished in number of assets. Command and control is scattered. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that capabilities are fully degraded. There is a lot that could still create a bad day for somebody. And it’s not just civilians. They have been walking in their strikes on certain targets and refining the overall targeting processes.

Here's what I don't understand:
The Muslim fundamentalists on their own didn't have the oomph to overthrow SAVAK and the Shah in the late '70s, so they agreed to a coalition with the Iranian communists, and combined, their tow forces/ideologies -- communism, and fundamentalist Shia Islam -- scceeded in overthowing the monarchy, and were supposed to "share" power afterward.
But we all know what happened: The fundamentalists stabbed the communists in the back (literally), massacred untold tens of thousands of them, tortured and imprisoned the rest, and the survivors all had to flee to France and the US. Then the fundamentalist set up of the mullahcracy with zero communist representation.
With all this being true and undisputed, WHY OH WHY does toe modern western Left SUPPORT THE MULLAHCRACY??? If anything, the left should regard the mullahs as their eternal enemies who will never be forgiven. The Left should be dancing in the streets and thanking Trump for finally undoing the betrayal and treachery that happened after the Shah was toppled. But no. Why?

You’re not seeing everything. There are over 300 wounded personnel. That being said the potential still exists for a more targeted strike. The Russians have insured that potential exists. The fact that we have reduced their number of assets reduces the potential for a hit. But if the can light off a bunch and overwhelm defenses it becomes a math game.

Because the wealthy sob donor class benefits from Iran being a bad boy. These pieces of human excrement make their money from getting a percentage of transactions--same reason for cartels not being dealt with, same reason for Venezuela not being addressed,same reason that the Muzzies and others are invading the West.
Our wealthy WEF types make bank from the inflows and outflows of money and spend a part of it to create their own patronage and political influence networks to keep the inflows and outflows going.
Think of these nasty critters as a global tax on transactions and the more illegal it is, the more that these parasites can make bank by taking higher percentages for the 'risk' of handling money laundering transactions.

Disagree. Yes this is what they say, but its just an excuse.
They support Iran because they think they can use them against Israel...and us.
If Iran was doing its thing targeting say AWFLs in the US or Euro-nik bureaucrats in the EU they'd be for bombing them as well.

@BillMelugin_
DHS funding deal is falling apart.
Senate GOP offered to fund all of DHS, except ICE’s deportation wing (ERO).
Dems just countered and demanded additional concessions, they want major ICE reforms (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc).
-
You can't compromise with the IRGC or the Democrat Party.
Didn't Trump just pants them at the airports by deploying ICE? Why are we bargaining with them from a position of weakness? Wait. Rhetorical. Senate GOP. Nevermind.

Words *should* mean things. If we exterminate the old regime (which looks probable given their proposed terms for peace), the regime will necessarily get changed.
What people should have soured on is specifically the idea of us occupying a country indefinitely, with our soldiers' hands tied behind their backs in the interest of 'winning hearts and minds', while we cobble together a new government. We probably should get a phrase for that other than 'regime change' as it's too broad.

And remind them about that idiot Geraldo went into an Iraqi war zone years ago wearing "Press" on his body armor, and then promptly admitting live on TV that he was carrying a sidearm. Made him an unlawful combatant and subject to summary execution, even if he never pulled the pistol out of its holster.
It'd be a shame if the IRGC treated all journalists on the ground as unlawful combatants and organized firing squads. A shame.

But again, I'd argue their labelling us and Israel as oppressors isn't really the issue. They want to weaken us, as in normal Americans, and Israel and therefore they label us oppressors. The desire to weaken and take from us is the goal, is the ideology, and everything else is built off of that.
As an example - look at Greenland. A European colony in the new world. Apply their model. The Danes are the oppressors and must be removed by any means necessary except...that's not how they approached it is it?
Posted by: 18-1 at March 25, 2026 03:59 PM (sKqQm)

Because enough of those 125k of IRGC and their irregular Basiji are still around in metro areas to kill a lot of civilians.
BTW, Centcom has it at 230 injured, most lightly. The worst injured were primarily from the Kuwaiti logistics center where 6 US Reservists were killed.
The other 7 dead came from the collision of tankers.
Simply put, Iranians don't 'need' targeting info beyond coordinates from Google Earth for bases. Where Chinese or Russian information might be useful would be targeting tankers more than anything.
At the same time, Russia is particularly vulnerable to payback on tankers and oil export facilities as we have more or less controlled range, etc. for US missiles and targeting information given to Ukraine. That too can be turned up. For teh Chinese, hitting tankers simply ups the premium for oil that they pay which is a disincentive to do so.
Both China and Russia giving targeting information is also subject to the degradation of command and control.

Drones make that a lot easier today than before if you can man your forces with their own drones. You can see that in Ukraine, it is hard to move large forces about without drawing drones, or called in airstrike or artillery.

Surprise! Mitch McConnell's Groomed Punk John Thune Preparing Failure Theater Production of "We Tried to Pass the SAVE Act But Goshdarn It We Just Didn't Have Our Ducks in a Row"
John Thune announced that he had a very smart masterplan for passing the SAVE Act. He would -- get this -- not pass it.
Brilliant! Part 2 of the plan is that he promises -- pinky-swear -- he will then add it to a bill via reconciliation. Except... you cannot add non-budgetary matters to a bill through reconciliation. See, the process is called Budget Reconciliation. Measures must have an impact on the budget (supposedly, to reduce the budget) to be added via Budget Reconciliation. So his smart masterplan for passing SAVE by not passing it is doomed to fail, and in fact, is designed to fail. The Senate Parliamentarian will rule the SAVE Act is not germane to the budget -- as everyone knows in advance -- and John Thune will pretend he never thought of that and gee willickers guys, if only you send him more money he could hire better staff to tell him obvious things like this!DataRepublican (small r)If you remember, Mitch McConnell routinely tanked bills that the conservative voting base demanded, but he would tell us that he got us the next best thing to actual legislation -- he got the Democrats to vote "no" on the bill, which is worth more politically than actually winning. John Thune is now selling this snake oil, too.
@DataRepublican Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try. pic.twitter.com/1P7tWIVYBK

I've been thinking for a long time that if there were a true forensic audit of voting - more specifically, vote counting - we would come to realize that deep blue states were actually red. I base this on nothing more than a common sense realization that when one party has iron-clad control of the counting process, it should come as no surprise that that party continuously wins. Not even a variation but a clear example of Stalin's dictum in play.
It's a shame we don't have an institution - like The Press - that makes this one of their investigative goals. And conspiracy minded as I am wont to be, I suspect that they would stampede each other to death doing this investigation if it were Republicans in control of the vote counting process.

NOW - Dame Sarah Mullally is officially "enthroned" as the Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England, becoming the first woman to take the role in 1,400 years.
Posted by: weft cut-loop at March 25, 2026 01:42 PM (diia5)
1. The Church of England was, apparently, founded in 1534 - somewhat more recent than 1400 years ago.
2. Mullally has 'served' as the Archbishop of Canterbury since January 28th so, while they have had a ceremony, the deed was done a while back.

And all I see is, "The Senate is expected to vote on it." and "Trump wants it passed with DHS funding." and "Thune has a deadline until the Easter recess."
Watching Thune's bit of presser there, he's not talking about up and down reconciliation votes. He's talking amendment votes on the SAVE Act.
So, we're still in the middle of amendment-o-rama, which means debate continues.
I understand the need and desire to keep up pressure, but this is just...the Senate operating on its own timeline which is slow.
We haven't even had a great blowup like the Parliamentarian saying that they couldn't vote on it, or anything.
Just another bit of evidence that the advice to ignore the Senate until the final vote is probably pretty solid advice.

Sure, they lose national elections, and the occasional Senate races in red states (GA), but they don't care about that. What they care about -- and the only thing they care about -- is keeping their safe seats safe. They do that with their own versions of voter fraud.
The SAVE act would make that harder to do. So they don't want it.

I agree with you ... but I put SAVE's chances of passing at somewhere between 0.0 and 0.5 percent. That's actually down a bit from my initial prediction of about 2%. I just don't think the GOP has the fucking balls to do this, in addition to all the donor and financial incentives for not doing it.

Just need Collins to fall in line, which she always does when leadership demands, and Vance breaks the tie (notice...Fetterman will not vote for it because he's not on our side at all, just tangential).
The Senate is going through debate, hence the amendment proposals.
Getting to the amendments put the chances at 45-55 at passage vs. failure, I think.

The only further adventures of Middle Earth I care about are those actually written by Tolkien.
Nothing else really registers anymore.
I mean, I adore the Jackson trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. I enjoy his bloated, meandering Hobbit trilogy.
But holy shit do I not care about the upcoming Hunt for Gollum or the Colbert written sequel (I assume he'll take some elements from the sequel Tolkien started to write and then abandoned, though that was set like 70 years after LOTR and in Gondor, and Colbert is writing it less than 20 years later and in the Shire, so elements can come through but not the actual beginning of the story).

Nope.
Majority Leader can fill the tree with empty amendments, thus there is no substance to waste time debating on each amendment and eating up time that could just be used to vote on passage.
I personally witnessed Harry Reid do it dozens and dozens of time, in person.
The GOP allowing the Ds to offer amendments is not necessary for anything.

Not the GOP's failure to enact Trump's agenda, forcing to him to basically do everything by executive order like some kind of discount emperor. No, the problem is me and my shitty attitude. I've let the GOP down. My bad.

But something important that's been obvious, if still stunning, for years: there is no politics any more. Putting senators on the record via amendment votes (primarily) used to be, indeed, important. It was the major raw material for campaigns, ads, themes, etc. It was often painful to watch up close, as I did for years as a staffer, but the purpose was at least clear.
And it mattered. Votes on big issues actually mattered. Now - on the Dem side - it simply doesn't matter, at all. Brain-dead, tribal, mindless and ignorant Dem voters don't know, understand, or even care about real issues. They live in an imaginary cartoon world created and nurtured for them by the (still dominant, of course) "press". On the GOP side there are many tribal dumbed-down voters, but the % is much smaller. Trump is president because on the GOP side, it's at least possible for voters to rebel, change course, etc.

The Dems are blocking funding for, literally, homeland security, during a war with the largest terror-sponsoring state in history, following 4 years in which they threw open the borders to foreign operatives (in itself a security disaster that's unprecedented).
And they can get away with it. Because their voters are that ignorant and stupid and tribal. AND because there is no politics. The GOP has these pathetic little mumbling comments like Thune on Dems explaining their opposition to voter ID.
Actual politics would be a massively aggressive public campaign to savage the Dems for endangering the country, plus retaliation - threaten to cut precious Dem programs by 50% unless full DHS funding is provided, now.
But GOP voters with few exceptions simply refuse to send serious or useful reps to Washington. And almost never dump them after they've shown their (worthless) colors. Eyepatch McCain recently being an extraordinary exception.

Iran lays out five specific conditions under which Iran would agree to end the war, via PressTV. These include:
1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

I agree with you 100%, and really, I don't do that often, so consider yourself lucky. heh.
But the only thing I can say as far as mixing mediums, is sometimes when a mediocre book has a screenplay written for it that just works, it creates a pretty great movie... yet most of the reverse isn't true. Great books rarely become great (or even watchable) movies...you would certainly know better than me which of them they are, all I know is that any book I enjoyed turned to shit on film...

Their encounter with Tom Bombadil is the hobbits' first respite after their first major brush with real danger (Old Man Willow). He's their "safety net" until they leave the Barrowdowns. After that they are on their own until they meet Strider.

It's a strange thing - The MSM informs us that Iran had a brilliant pre-conflict contingency plan for 16(?) commanders to act independently in case the US took out their national leadership and the communication nets.
Now we are being told to believe that there is a central authority speaking for the entire country. This is based on pre-recorded video posted on the internet.
Including cardboard-cutouts with photographs taped to the cardboard.
I wonder how many of those possibly "independent" commanders are ready to deal? Give them a deadline?

Newly Discovered Records Suggest Fake Special Counsel Jack Smith Broke the Law in Wiretapping Biden's Political Opponents, Including Bugging Trump Associates' Lawyers
Lock. Him. Up.Fishing expedition: Docs expose expansive FBI surveillance of Trump allies, possible illegality Newly-disclosed records show that the FBI twice subpoenaed future Director Kash Patel's personal data while he was a private citizen in a probe that swept up hundreds of Trump allies, including then-future Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Newly released records in the Senate investigation into the weaponization of government raise questions about whether the FBI went on a fishing expedition targeting Trump advisors who were never charged with crimes and whether Special Counsel Jack Smith's prior testimony to Congress was truthful. The documents were made public by Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, before a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing into alleged abuses by the Biden-era FBI and Justice Department in their investigations into then ex-president Donald Trump before and during the 2024 presidential election during its probe code-named "Arctic Frost." Just the News previously reported that Biden's FBI paid anti-Trump 'Sedition Hunters' as informants in the Arctic Frost probes. "If Watergate taught us anything, it is that even a single abuse of power carried out by a handful of individuals can shake the foundations of our Republic," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., Chairman of the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights. "What we confront today, the Biden administration's Arctic Frost scheme, is not a single act," he continued in his opening remarks. "It is a modern Watergate trading a break-in at one office for a digital sweep into approximately 100,000 private communications, more than a dozen senators and 1000s of individuals lives." Cruz said that ultimately, "just like Watergate," the judges, FBI and Justice Department officials involved should be "investigated, tried, impeached, and brought to justice."
...
The FBI's requests for information included demands for highly personal data of Patel's, including Patel's addresses ("mailing addresses, residential addresses, business addresses, and e-mail addresses"), a "call detail record" which lists inbound and outbound calls, text messages and voicemail messages, as well as sources of payment for the phone service, including credit card and bank account numbers. The FBI also demanded expansive internet session data including exact IP addresses, the document shows. The FBI also sought--and was granted--non-disclosure orders (NDOs) from federal judges, shielding the existence of the subpoenas from Patel and his lawyers on the grounds that revealing them could result in his "flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses and serious jeopardy to the investigation." Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's then campaign manager and future chief of staff, was also targeted in the probe. The Biden-era FBI reportedly even went so far as to record a private phone call between Wiles and her lawyer in 2023 while she was actively managing the campaign of President Joe Biden's chief political rival, according to Reuters. The FBI reportedly maintains that the recording was justified on the pretense that her defense lawyer had consented to the recording. However, Wiles' lawyer issued a statement adamantly denying he ever consented to such monitoring, raising the possibility false representations were made to a court for phone monitoring and the now infamous stage-managed raid on Mar-a-Lago. "If I ever pulled a stunt like that, I wouldn't -- and shouldn't -- have a license to practice law," an unidentified lawyer told Axios. "I'm as shocked as Susie."
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Senator Cruz CONFIRMED that Biden’s FBI wiretapped Susie Wiles during a PRIVILEGED CALL with her lawyer without the consent of EITHER party.

To make it HORRENDOUSLY worse, they then tried to HIDE evidence of their actions by marking the file “prohibited.”
This… pic.twitter.com/8WIg9k9ak9
... Sen. Grassley also raised questions about Special Counsel Smith's prior testimony and claims about his investigation, indicating the possibility that he misled Congress. It has not been determined if Patel, Grassley, or anyone else has made a referral to the Department of Justice for criminal action.
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke The subpoena released this morning by Chuck Grassley in connection with the fraudulent Arctic Frost investigation is absolutely staggering. It didn't just ask for Kash Patel's phone records, it asked for everything he did from 2020 to 2023. Just to name a few, they requested all usernames and screen names, every address and email, complete billing and payment details including credit card and bank account numbers, every device ID, and a full log of every call, text, and voicemail showing who was contacted, when, and for how long. They also obtained all internet session data, including the exact IP addresses. So this wasn't just about who Kash called. It was basically a complete view of his entire life, mapping his daily routines, travel, relationships, finances, and even tracking the specific hardware he used. In short, they got a full digital shadow of his life. To have come through all of this without so much as a scratch tells you just how clean he is.
Paul SperryHola! Feliz el Día de la Joroba!
@paulsperry_ NEW: The FBI has found 1.9 million pages of missing records in a secret "hidden room" at headquarters that was maintained by former directors James Comey and Chris Wray, according to a Judicial Watch FOIA. The Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) contains several safes holding the docs, including ones generated from Special Counsel Mueller's investigation.

From the sidebar -
"Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book.
Tolkien was an observant Catholic. He chose this date because it is the feast of the Annunciation on the Catholic calendar.
So yes, the day that the Savior was made manifest on the earth plane would be the day the Ring is destroyed.

The comparison is inappropriate. Watergate was a scam on the public, blaming Nixon for doing a fraction of what every President had done before him. It was a railroading, with fixed justice system, dramatic hearings, and a conspiring press. It was NOTHING.
This however, this is a complete undoing of the justice system and rule of law. You are comparing a pimple to lung cancer.

They want to be out of power because their pathetic lives really won't change much, save for the few that will be losing their seats. They're traitors to the base, they're traitors to upholding the civil society we pretend to still live under, they're traitors to the Constitution, they're traitors to their sworn duties as representatives of the people.

It did work, as the bespoke software through which those FBI files are normally viewed had been programmed to not even show the existence of files marked like that, except to a few specific individuals. It wouldn't even show a stub for FOIA searches, the way restricted-access files were normally handled. Current FBI leadership only learned of the existence of that scheme by someone mentioning it, IIRC in a Congressional oversight interview, and then I assume they needed an IT guy to either modify the software or bypass it.

Not only was he a fool, he was proud of it. He laid it all out in his book, Will. Along with his admiration for his Nazi-loving nanny, and the likely bullshit story of how he got the better of the prison administration after his Watergate conviction. Down to how the other prisoners paraded him around the prison yard triumphantly and howled in celebration when he let out a Nazi salute.
Total bullshit, and I can't help thinking that he was ANOTHER Donk mole sent in to sabotage the GOP.

The senate has always been the drag on our republic and the place where liberty and constitutional order go to die.
The phrase "saucer that cools the tea" refers to a metaphor used by George Washington, comparing the U.S. Senate to a saucer that cools hot tea, suggesting that the Senate serves to temper the passions of the House of Representatives. This metaphor highlights the Senate's role in providing a more deliberate and measured approach to legislation.

Way back in the 90s, CSPAN was doing a live broadcast of Liddy doing his radio show, back before they had enough documentary content on tap to fill in the air time. The CSPAN camera went live about 15 minutes early, so I got the rare pleasure of watching G Gordon Liddy eating a salad out of the to-go box in the broadcast booth.
Then during his show, he talked about how men with a longer 2nd toe have a bigger penis.

I've been thinking for a long time that if there were a true forensic audit of voting - more specifically, vote counting - we would come to realize that deep blue states were actually red. I base this on nothing more than a common sense realization that when one party has iron-clad control of the counting process, it should come as no surprise that that party continuously wins. Not even a variation but a clear example of Stalin's dictum in play.
It's a shame we don't have an institution - like The Press - that makes this one of their investigative goals. And conspiracy minded as I am wont to be, I suspect that they would stampede each other to death doing this investigation if it were Republicans in control of the vote counting process.

Wednesday Morning Rant
That chart is from Yahoo! Finance, for a major company many have never heard of. That company is called Supermicro, and it builds, among other things, servers for datacenters. It is a big player in server hardware. Unlike some of its competitors, however, it is not a household name. Supermicro is an American company based in San Jose, founded by Taiwanese entrepreneurs. Like most outfits in the datacenter hardware business, it has been going gangbusters in the current AI mania. Given the market environment, why that staggering price decline with surging trading volume on the 20th?
The decline has to do with the indictment and arrest of some of its executives due to allegations of smuggling and violating US export control laws regarding Red China. As you may recall, the US has - since the Biden administration - proscribed the export of certain high-end computer chips useful for AI processing to that country. Trump made that a bit more aggressive once he took office. In the presence of any ban, a black market inevitably forms and it appears that, per the indictment, certain SMCI executives allegedly operated in that black market. Supermicro is not named directly, nor is the Asian company that allegedly helped run the operation. But the people involved are Supermicro people, a "U.S. Manufacturer" is referenced, and the stock tanked as a result.The scheme does not appear to have been particularly sophisticated. From the indictment:
Beginning in or about 2024, certain executives, employees, and third-party affiliates of a U.S.-based manufacturer that designs and builds high-performance computer servers for artificial intelligence and cloud computing applications (the "U.S. Manufacturer"), including YIH-SHYAN "Wally" LIAW, RUEI-TSANG "Steven" CHANG, and TING-WEI "Willy" SUN, the defendants, conspired to divert billions of dollars' worth of the U.S. Manufacturer's servers to China, many of which were assembled in the United States. The U.S. Manufacturer's flagship products - servers integrating graphics processing units ("GPUs") manufactured by Nvidia Corporation ("Nvidia") - are subject to strict U.S. export controls barring their sale to China without a license.
The defendants and their co-conspirators used a particular company ("Company-1") based in Southeast Asia as a pass-through entity to give the U.S. Manufacturer's transactions that they arranged the appearance of legitimate commercial activity and to obscure their China-based end customers. YIH-SHYAN "Wally" LIAW, RUEI-TSANG "Steven" CHANG, and TING-WEI "Willy" SUN, the defendants, worked with and directed executives of Company-1 to submit purchase orders to the U.S. Manufacturer to reserve and purchase large allocations of the servers from the U.S. Manufacturer containing Nvidia GPUs and coordinate their onward transshipment to China. To ensure that the allocations were approved internally at the U.S. Manufacturer, the defendants and executives at Company-1 prepared false documents and records, and transmitted false communications, purporting to show that Company-1 was the end user of the servers. Once Company-1 received the servers, at the direction of and in coordination with the defendants and others, including third-party brokers who worked closely with the defendants to order the U.S. Manufacturer's servers for customers in China, it shipped them to those customers in China. In furtherance of the scheme, Company-1, in consultation with the defendants, used a shipping and logistics company to repackage the U.S. Manufacturer's servers and place them in unmarked boxes to conceal their content prior to shipping them to their final destinations in China
For example, to deceive the U.S. Manufacturer's compliance team, which was responsible for conducting audits of Company-1's purchases of servers to ensure adherence to U.S. export control laws, the defendants staged "dummy" servers - non-working, physical replicas of the U.S. Manufacturer's servers - for inspection at the locations where Company-1 was purportedly storing the servers it had purchased from the U.S. Manufacturer. However, the actual servers from the U.S. Manufacturer had already been unlawfully shipped to China.So that's pretty straightforward. Use "Company-1" as a cut-out, ship them the kit, have them rebox it and sell it on to the actual end purchaser and put on a little show to pretend that they actually have the equipment on hand in case anyone comes to look. Simple, but apparently effective for a while. For long enough to do the old switcharoo with around $2.5 billion in server hardware. In the wake of his arrest and the subsequent dramatic drop in SMCI's stock price, Liaw resigned from Supermicro's board. The company also appointed a new Chief Compliance Officer. And that brings up the other point that is driving some of this price move, namely that Supermicro has had trouble in the past when it comes to internal controls and processes. Back in 2024, Ernst & Young resigned as Supermicro's auditor, touching off - this is becoming a trend - a major stock price fall. When it resigned, Ernst & Young said that it was "unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by the management," along with asserting that the board was the plaything of the company's founder and some other executives and that the company lacked effective internal controls. Before that, in 2020, the company paid a small fine to the SEC over accounting practices. Supermicro has had some ... problems. Now, it is possible that its executives Liaw and Chang will do some time but that is not the only consideration. If the indictment is accurate, SMCI moved $2.5 billion in product to Red China. In all of 2025 (fiscal year ending in June of that year), the company had around $22 billion in net sales. The timing doesn't line up exactly, but it's close enough. Somewhere from 5%-10% of the company's sales came from this alleged scheme to violate US export controls and send high-tech equipment to a sanctioned country. That is a lot of revenue, and too much to be missed. A single outfit sending you a big chunk of your total revenue could not have been a secret. Customers that big are well known. Vendors buy customers like that dinner at least, and often have teams dedicated to them. This fake company wouldn't have had a normal relationship with Supermicro, and people inside Supermicro would have known that. If these allegations are true, it is so unlikely that it borders on impossible that the scheme was not widely known among senior executives and probably within at least the sales and logistics groups. There is a reason that SMCI saw its price fall so dramatically: investors know it, too, and a lot of them got out. All of this, however, invites a question: assuming that the allegations are true, what is an appropriate punishment for a corporation in this case? How does one punish a corporation with controls so bad that it might be intentional, that has played fast and loose with its accounting, and that raked in billions selling proscribed products to a country that is, depending on one's perspective, a rival or an enemy? Jailing its executives would be a welcome change, but is it enough? An organization as corrupt as Supermicro is alleged to be will simply continue as it was. What punishment actually fits the crime, and what punishment can encourage better behavior in the future? Ruinous fines, like "50% of revenues for the past five years, payable over the next ten years?" Nationalization followed by divestiture to new owners after firing everyone with executive authority? Assuming that the allegations are accurate, what is an appropriate punishment for a firm that has a long track record of misbehavior and helped violate - and profited handsomely for violating - major US sanctions?

“I am so hurt for this country. Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore. I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it. We have the worst president in the history of our country. Every day a bad TV show produced by DJT is what we get.”

You may have not heard it, but there is up to a 0.9 correlation between nighttime light measures via satellite and reported growth.
Except for one major country: China
Compared to verified, transparent growth of other countries, China's actual growth is 1.5% to near 4% less than the 5%, 7% or whatever % growth they claim every year.
Yet the left has tried to pawn our entire future on believing what China says.
China lies about everything.

Children playing in a prayer area at the Islamic Community Center of Hillsboro, Saturday, March 21, discovered a bullet that had struck the mosque earlier that morning, the center said.
No one was injured in the incident.
Leaders at the Washington County mosque pointed out that the incident occurred amid a rise in Islamophobic incidents, according to a recent report from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
...
In its own press release, the Washington, D.C.-based Council on Islamic-American Relations called Wednesday for federal law enforcement to investigate the shooting as a bias crime.
And, never mind...
“UPDATE: Hillsboro police announced Tuesday the bullet likely struck the mosque accidentally.
“Investigators determined the bullet was likely fired from a location approximately one mile away, outside Hillsboro city limits, where individuals were lawfully target shooting,” police stated.
Mosque leaders and local elected officials did not immediately respond to OPB’s request for comments on the outcome of the investigation.

Along with some variation of "and they're going to massively dominate the AI future 'cause they have electricity to spare now!!"
But China's new claim totally has nothing to do with how China was churning out cheap, worthless solar panels to foist on stupid Americans under the New Green Deal.
Which panels are totally not useless now but were really just repurposed as solar farms.
And not piled up rotting in warehouses until they can find a sucker to off-load them to.
Please keep investing in China.

Pritzker finally crawled out with a statement, but instead of owning the disaster he created, he played the blame game like a true Democrat. In a clip that's making the rounds, he whined: "This has been a terrible tragedy... There have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. That's their national failures — a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst."
What a pathetic dodge. Pritzker signed the very laws that shield illegals like Medina-Medina from ICE. His 2021 sanctuary state legislation ties local cops' hands and blocks federal enforcement. Pair that with the disastrous SAFE-T Act—no cash bail, revolving-door releases for thugs—and you've got a recipe for exactly this kind of bloodshed. Chicago's streets are bloodier because radical leftists like Pritzker prioritize illegal invaders over law-abiding citizens.

Asians are one of the most "racist," elitist, and tribal people on Earth. They all despise each other, often based on centuries-old conflicts and vendettas, and a sense of who is superior. Singaporeans in particular think they are better than everyone else.
If you travel in Asia, you will probably be asked very personal questions almost immediately upon meeting someone. How old are you? What do you do for a living? What car you drive? Are you married?
These questions would be considered way out of bounds in western culture. But in Asian culture, they are a way to figure out where you stand in the social hierarchy, so they know how to treat you.

There is always the option of seeding it with really bizarre stuff.
We are invading Iran to recover the Ark of the Covenant, or a crashed Saucer.
Or the Iranians have bioweapon labs and are releasing cattle plagues, like the one the Russians are dealing with in Siberia right now.

Sauron was both ingenious and utterly evil yet, for some reason, he imbued all his power into a separate physical object he could lose. He lost it. A small creature found it. Then lost it. Another small creature, likely a related species to the first small creature found it. He gave it to a relative. That relative walked across the known world and threw it into a volcano.
The End.

Fuck the Neil Young songs, he can suck my balls
He looks like a dork that hangs out at the mall
Neil Young can suck it, so can he all day
He can suck an ass, just because he's gay
He can suck a dick, he can lick a sack
Everybody shout, "Heavy metal's back!"

If there's any advice I've gleaned from watching kids shows the last few years that I can share with Stephen....
You can check off a lit of boxes by having inter-racial gay couples. Toss one in a wheelchair and make the other a tranny and that's a bunch off the list.

I think the person fell and hit his head... People sometimes ignore that but can get a brain bleed... Especially if you are on blood thinners.... My Cardiologist told me if I ever fall and hit my head to go the emergency immediately

I've always thought Springsteen's singing sounds like he's trying to take a dump, and not succeeding. Given his age, that might actually be true.

Missed possibly getting drafted by 5 years -- and I was a dumbass gung-ho patriotic immortal young man.
The first time I played paintball, I immediately sprinted across the field trying to capture the other team's flag and got destroyed (shot at close range a dozen times).
I remember thinking "It's a good thing I never went to Vietnam because I probably would have gotten killed immediately."
By the end of the day, I had learned to strategerize and finally captured the other team's flag and was so excited running back to our compound that I was hyperventilating ... and collapsed for a minute to recapture my breath.

I actually love Neil Young's music. The one that most pisses me off because it's otherwise a great song is "Cortez the Killer".
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
People worked together
And they lifted many stones
Worse than a bunch of stoned hippies wearing Che shirts in a college dorm.
