Is the UK in a State of Civil War Yet?

Crowds gather outside the Hampshire Police Department,
aka Murder, Inc., to demand these Heroes stop lying about
their complicity in the murder of Henry Nowak

The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.

And here's the inevitable: Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood warns that anyone talking about this case too honestly may be the next visited by the murderous police.

The problem is never the murder by a migrant (Digwa's parents are immigrants), the problem is your objection to murder by a migrant.

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood has warned "misinformation and inflammatory commentary is making a dreadful situation even worse" as anger over the case of Henry Nowak was stoked further by Nigel Farage who urged the public to respond with "pure cold rage".
In a statement to the Commons, she revealed that a police officer wrongly identified as having arrested the dying teenager has received death threats and been forced into hiding amid a "dangerous undercurrent".
Chilling video footage from the night Mr Nowak was killed shows police handcuffed the 18-year-old student as he lay on the floor, despite his repeated pleas that he could not breathe. He died shortly after.
In body-worn camera footage of the incident in Southampton, Mr Nowak can be heard repeatedly saying: "I've been stabbed," to which an officer replies: "Don't think you have, mate."
Sir Keir Starmer described the video as "harrowing", adding: "I have to say, as a father of a 17-year-old boy, I felt sick watching it."
Hampshire Police Federation condemned calls for "vigilante justice" against officers; the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) watchdog is investigating the handling of the case.
Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed Mr Nowak in December 2025 with a ceremonial knife with a 21cm blade after falsely accusing him of a racist attack. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years at Southampton Crown Court on Monday.
Mr Farage likened Mr Nowak's treatment to the killing of George Floyd and said it was evidence of a "two-tier culture".
In a video statement on Tuesday, the Reform UK leader called for a recognition that "white lives matter" as he referred to the Black Lives Matter movement which followed the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
Mr Farage said Mr Nowak was "actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder".

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh
🚨 BREAKING: Slain 18YO white male Henry Nowak's father just WENT OFF, saying the killer stabbed his son and police did NOTHING despite his imminent death
"Henry told officers he could not breathe **9 times**." 😢
He says the police FAILED and refused to believe him. The killer is now jailed.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?! BARBARIAN.
"Henry was pulled across the gravel his hands forced behind his back and he was placed in handcuffs. Instead of being treated as a dying victim the police formally arrested Henry for assault and read in his rights. That was the last thing he heard."
"Henry had been stabbed multiple times and as his chest filled with blood he tried to escape. He was chased, abused and filmed...when police arrived Henry was lying on the floor fairly able to sit up and plainly in severe medical distress. With his final words he told officers that he could not breathe. He told them he had been stabbed."
"The police have said they were misled by the murderers and that the scene when they arrived was complex."
"Unfortunately it seems to us the truth is much simpler. The police were told by our son himself and by a member of the public...but the police did not believe that."
"As a family we will not let this go. No other family should experience the heartbreak and horror of losing a child to knife crime."
"Finally, I want Henry to know. We are so proud of him and we love him."

His speech is here.

The Digwa family also released a statement, apparently in coordination with Sikh groups. The statement makes it sound, as Alex the Chick says, as this was just some accident, maybe a car accident.

I think it reads as if maybe Henry Nowak really was guilty of "racial abuse" and it just would have been better if the two people never met. Let's say both were at fault and call it a day.

Some people did some things, you know?

Digwa's mother spirited away the murder weapon and hid it. Digwa's brother placed a false emergency call to the cops to push the lie that the innocent student had "racially abused" Digwa, justifying stabbing him to death.

The father, apparently, "detained" the dying man.

"Detained." A man. Dying on the ground.

That sounds like he used physical force against a man his son had just stabbed to death (though he wasn't yet dead -- the cops would be needed to finish the job, egged on by Digwa and his father).

Oh -- and he concealed the fact that the man on the ground had been stabbed and was bleeding to death.

That's accessory to murder.

The mother was convicted of aiding in the crime.

Why aren't the brother and father under arrest?

Robert Jenrick
@RobertJenrick
I hope Hampshire Police and the CPS have a good explanation as to why Digwa's brother and father have not yet been charged.
His mother is being sentenced soon for removing the murder weapon from the crime scene.
If his brother and father knew Henry had been stabbed, are they not accessories too?
The brother called 999 to falsely report Henry for racially attacking the murderer.
The father physically detained a dying Henry until the police arrived.
None of them informed the police that Henry had been stabbed. All watched him die, handcuffed, on the ground.

Officers in Nowak arrest did nothing wrong, police watchdog claims! From the DT:
"The Telegraph understands that five officers initially attended the incident. The IOPC began reviewing the arrest the day after Mr Nowak died and says that so far there is no evidence that any of them committed misconduct.... all the officers are being treated as witnesses, rather than investigated over potential misconduct."
"Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary did not respond when asked whether the officers involved had been suspended."
"However, after the sentencing Mr Nowak's family members said that they understood some of the officers involved in his case remained on duty, while others had resigned."
@HantsPolice had better come clean sharpish. Their past and present behaviour could - and should - spark national civil-unrest

"Sharpish" is a good word.

This MP lists cases in which criminals have been explicitly let free because, in one case, "black men are overrepresented in mental health facilities" -- who then went on to commit multiple murders. He cites a document which also explicitly says that "antiracism" requires blacks and Muslims to be more favorably, and whites less favorably, by the law.

Wow. What the f*ck?!

BREAKING:
Keir Starmer says he won't remove the exemption which allows Sikhs to carry large ceremonial knives on them.
Meanwhile, English women are being prosecuted for carrying regular pepper spray on them when out on the streets at night

Meanwhile, the left is now claiming we must do "what the Nowak family wanted." Henry Nowak's father included one line that he didn't want Henry's death used to to stir up more violence. The left is insisting that means we have to bless the Two-Tier Justice system and stop complaining when migrants rape and murder us.

First of all: It's documented that victims of migrant or minority murder are visited by agents of the state and told to make this kind of statement. The American DOJ used to send out agents to pressure the families of people killed by immigrants to call for "peace," too.

Second of all: Henry Nowak's father also called it utterly incomprehensible and unacceptable that the cops participated in the murder of his son.

And Keir Starmer has rejected the father's call to ban knives, even for Sikhs.

Why is Keir Starmer picking and choosing what parts of the father's statement we must heed?

Suella Braveman wants the sentence reviewed, as 21 years is plainly not enough for such calculated, cold-blooded evil murder:

Suella Braverman
@SuellaBraverman
I have written to the Attorney General requesting that Digwa's sentence be referred to the Court of Appeal because it is unduly lenient.
As a former Attorney General myself, and as a Hampshire MP, I believe the Judge's sentence does not reflect the enormity of Digwa's crime, lies and behaviour.
I will keep fighting for justice for Henry.

So they get to murder and smear the victim AND his family, then pivot to “something happened and we’d hate to see this become some racial issue that reflects poorly on both of us.”

I think a guy in Saskatchewan killed about 11 people with knives.

Corrected after a search....

On September 4, 2022, Myles Sanderson killed 11 and injured 17 people in a mass stabbing at 13 locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in Weldon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Some of the victims are believed to have been targeted, while others were randomly attacked.

That said, a lot of bloodlines need to be eliminated.
Soon.

The most important thing in all this is that those two officers who coldly watched him die, drowning in his own blood, get home safe each night to their families.

After all, they put their lives on the line arresting a man, lying motionless on the ground, dying of multiple stab wounds.

Their paycheck, pension and villa in Spain are a small price to pay for keeping a mortally wounded man from spreading racist lies that a minority attacked him.

30 Digwa’s father and brother have since been brought into court to face charges.

The dying Henry asked for an ambulance 4 times. The last thing he heard were he was under arrest and his rights read to him. At the end of this, his pupils were unresponsive and an ambulance called. He was still in cuffs. You hear the police officer saying to keep him on his side, he thought Henry was going to be sick. That was Henry taking his last breaths. It’s so, so awful.

32 [Poem] "The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon" by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

They'd already banned firearms for everyone.
They have a harder time banning knives, though they try, so they demonize 'knife crime' as being somehow scarier than bashing people in the head with a brick.

I had a knife when I was 8, at boy scout camp. Think about what this is saying. "Our citizens are such dangerous children that they can't be trusted with one of mankind's earliest tools." What more do you need to know about their fitness to govern?

74 This MP lists cases in which criminals have been explicitly let free because, in one case, "black men are overrepresented in mental health facilities" -- who then went on to commit multiple murders. He cites a document which also explicitly says that "antiracism" requires blacks and Muslims to be more favorably, and whites less favorably, by the law.

Disparate impact theory.
Base assumption I: all races and classes of people commit the same crime at exactly the same rate.
Conflicting base assumption II: historical wrongs are to blame for any difference in the rate of crime commission across race and class differences.
Conflicting base assumption III: Any difference in rates of incarceration or other punitive measures among races is de-facto proof of racism in the process of assigning people to punitive measures or institutions.

Their typically unstated response to assumption III is to simply stop punishing people from a minority group if their incarceration rate rises higher than general population representation of that minority group.

The human response when they discover they're relieved of consequences for bad acts they intend to do, is to do more of it.

75 The bodycam video is ... surreal, like it's not from this planet.

There were like 5 cops there, and none of them -- not a single one -- did absolutely anything to determine whether Nowak was stabbed.

Nowak says at least 10x that he's "been stabbed" and "ambulance." They completely ignore him. In fact, they keep telling him he wasn't stabbed. Although none of them say it, it seems obvious the cops thought he was just drunk, and they couldn't be bothered.

It like some sick parody of the Black Knight scene in Holy Grail where the knight is missing arms but keeps insisting he's fine.

It's also insane that the lady copy is heard saying "he's been beat up," yet does nothing to stop the other cops from arresting the guy who was obviously hurt.

They had so many indicators that should have told them Henry needed emergency assistance.

1. The first witness on scene tells them Henry's mouth was full of blood.
2. Henry reports several times he was stabbed
3. Henry gurgles when he's talking, a distinct sound that all competent first responders recognize
4. Henry is on the ground and mostly non-responsive
5. Henry's eyes become non-responsive to light stimulus
6. Henry has a cut on his face, which should have alerted the police to the possibility of more injuries
7. Several civilians on scene have large knives on their person
8. Henry's hands are a sickly pallid color

And most of all, if the police had done a damn proper investigation of Henry's torso instead of the quarter-assed check they did, they would have found Henry's wounds.

After Charlemagne Europe started unifying behind Christianity. A few hundred years later it had begun pushing Islam back.

After the Reformation though is when Europe really came into its own, with it, and its independent former colonies like the US becoming the most powerful countries in the world with the ability to do what they wanted in the Muslim/pagan world.

And then after WWII Europe threw it all away - both its power worldwide and its Christian legacy.

Even worse than that, if you carry a normally acceptable object like a heavy walking stick, flashlight, etc. and end up using it for self-defense, they will retroactively charge you for carrying an offensive weapon.

All Sikhs are supposed to carry knives, its in their religion.

Now, sometimes they'll have unsharpened ones to meet civil restrictions, but obviously in Britain it is obvious they no longer feel that needed.

And of course ironically carrying a knife with you will get you immediately arrested as a heritage Englishmen...

135 In the average arterial bleed it takes 2-5 minutes to exsanguinate and experience hemorrhagic shock. Direct aortic bleeds can be less than 30 seconds. It’s also painful up until you lose about three liters of blood. Point being they had minutes, and they knew it. Police in the UK take the equivalent of our TCCC course. Bleed out timing starts from wounding.

This was not just willful neglect on the part of police. It was inhumane no matter who they thought the vic was. Their comments made it worse. It’s indefensible.

149 Even worse than that, if you carry a normally acceptable object like a heavy walking stick, flashlight, etc. and end up using it for self-defense, they will retroactively charge you for carrying an offensive weapon. What was not an offensive weapon one second before using it in self defense suddenly becomes a chargeable offense.

When islhamic terrorists put a hit out on Tommy Robinson, the police informed him of the threat, wouldn't allow him to actually see the publication of the threat, nor was he allowed to carry items to defend himself in public. He was told that he could 'maybe find something in his house to use' for self defense, should they break into his house.

He couldn't protect himself in public and they wouldn't be protecting him.

I don't think it would help much at this point. They've been disarmed for too long, and there just aren't enough vets with relevant experience and the political inclination to teach randos how to shoot in even the most rudimentary sense.

This is the long game of civilian disarmament; I even see the negative affects here, where far too few of us really understand what it means to maintain an armed group of people for for than a week or so. If people were serious they'd be focusing on common parts and weapons anyone can maintain with simple hand tools, rather than drooling over the cool gun nerd crap.

I remember under Biden there was a case where the government arrested a medic who killed a jihadi. He had gone to the jihadi to patch him up and was rewarded with a knife attack. The medic won and killed the jihadi for which he was prosecuted with murder.

To really nail him the Biden junta leaned on the other soldier that was with him offering a 100% pardon in return for testifying. The other soldier agreed, took the stand and said HE had killed the jihadi destroying the Junta's case.

It was glorious.

Not happening. The Redcoats won't be coming.

Most of the fighting DNA in Britain long ago left for America or was exported to Australia.

Add to that the Britizens meekly keep surrendering rights like they are from the other side of The Channel.

Going to war unarmed and unskilled will just get you killed.

Britain is toast.
Posted by: Joe Mama at June 02, 2026 04:10 PM (TezPK)

I think you're wrong. England still built an empire with fighting DNA after the US was a separate nation. But a lot that DNA died in 1914-1918.

White House: Rioters Outside of NJ ICE Facility Will be Prosecuted to the Fullest Extent of the Law
NGO Admits It's Giving the Orders to Riot

It's time to start getting rough with the terrorists.

The White House issued a stark warning Monday to rioters protesting a federal immigration detention center in Newark, stating that riots will not be tolerated and those who engage in such activity will be "arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
The protests escalated into riots over the weekend after some demonstrators threw projectiles, grabbed security barriers and set fires outside ICE's Delaney Hall facility. New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill even acknowledged early Sunday that some had engaged in "dangerous actions" against local police.
...
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka imposed an emergency curfew over the weekend in an attempt to quell the unrest. The curfew, which remains in effect, covers a half-mile radius around the ICE facility, outlawing civilians in the area from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Democrat politicians stoke up the rioters and then impose a curfew on everyone because the monsters they feed have gotten out of control.

Meanwhile, the NGO-paid antifa and BLM terrorists swarm in from all over the country to riot:

🚨 JUST NOW: DHS Sec. Mullin CONFIRMS ICE arrested rioters who came all the way from PORTLAND to agitate leftists outside ICE Newark

THOUSANDS of miles away.

These are PROFESSIONAL rioters. Full stop. pic.twitter.com/4PzItH99Qo
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) June 1, 2026

An NGO posts that it will choose to mobilize the rioters or not mobilize them as it chooses:

They're talking about how there's been no word from the "admins" about further mobilization.

We have undeniable proof that NGOs are calling the shots from top-down.

We know they were responsible for BLM and Summer of Love v1 too. These NGOs and their funders need to be sued…

🚨 NOW: The area around ICE Newark is DEAD SILENT after NJSP FORCED rioters out of the area

Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars worth of supplies are just abandoned outside the facility.

It is genuinely mindblowing how much money is poured into riot supplies.

See for yourselves 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/Q2JB13coDx

The foreign agent anchor baby communist terrorist Hasan Piker attended the riots -- of course -- and was heckled by a black conservative who called him the n-word.

I'll allow it.

Let's recap Hasan Piker's week:

- Banned from the United Kingdom
- Humiliated by left wing ICE protesters on a livestream
- Under Treasury investigation for Cuba sanctions violations
- Facing potential FARA charges
- CCP-linked money tied to his Marxist convoy
- Having a…

The UK banned dozens of immigration restrictionists from entering the country, claiming they were not conducive to the "public good."

Now the UK also bans the terrorist agents Cenk Uygur and his nepo baby nephew Hasan Piker, and Hasan Piker decides that this is because Israel controls the UK.

Note that the Minister who actually denied his visa is named Shabana Mahmoud. Nice Jewish girl, I'm sure.

They count on useful idiots for the mob and in the MFM to promote the circus while coordinating policy responses that the vast majority of Americans reject.

It's marketing spectacle from a relatively small group. It's buoyed, however, by a grift machine and crime syndicate known colloquially as the DNC.

63 I heard some lady who was very anti- Communist assert that Antifa cells were self-funded through microdonations.

I have zero doubts that this happens. But NPCs can't fund themselves to nearly the tune that these street actions require - particularly because so many of the street troops are unemployable/mentally ill/criminally convicted, and so forth. Even labor Unions in mid-century didn't have the juice to do this shit, on this scale.

NGOs pay to put the meat on the street. They buy the bricks and they pay rent in the trap houses. They buy the cops and DAs. They buy the media exposure and the corporate propaganda. The goons can't pony up like that. NPCs are a product, not the manufacturer.

She was making this claim because she wants Donald Trump to deploy armed force at the street level to pacify the Communists - an admirable and needful goal - but it's not the whole picture, not by a long shot.

Military intervention in a lot of corporate boardrooms is necessary, too.

Doesn't fomenting criminal activity across state lines call upon stricter laws for prosecution and punishment? RICO, perhaps?

IOW, this is the Dearborn, MI or the East. And, it's not surprising that there is such an organized effort against ICE. You'll find a lot of the Pro-Gaza agitators residing in Newark.

if you say, "why wasn't Bondi doing anything," there is your clue.

And getting rid of 10,000 lawyers hired by Obama and Biden is a huge, huge win.

Not just getting them out of the DOJ but, this is burning their farm team--their future judges and politicians at all levels.

Alternatively, you could use the military to move against the civilian regime, and shut down opposition movements by force.

It's going to happen no matter what, and soon. Might as well move when our people have command, instead of the other way around.

It's why I always say Hegseth is the only important Trump II figure. All of this will come down to force in the end, and he's actually aligning assets toward that end.

Even once the Democrats take control again, they (may, hopefully) find themselves commanding an army of mutineers.

The Very Perceptive Ladies of The View: Gee This Graham Platner Guy Seems Like a Hot S.S. Mess Doesn't He?

These subnormal-IQ chickenhead* women just don't miss a trick do they?

Graham Platner got his five minutes of fame on The View today....safe to say the ladies were not impressed.

"This man should be nowhere near Congress."

"he's a cheater, he's an anti-semite...he's a liar, a racist....a homophobe....character does matter."

"There is no doubt… pic.twitter.com/isVrBQqaXy
— Maine GOP (@mainegop) June 1, 2026

Don't worry -- out-and-proud racist Sonny Hostin is still pro-Nazi.

Sunny Hostin supports Graham Platner despite calling him 'a liar, a racist, an antisemite'

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin called Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a liar, a racist, an antisemite" on Monday but still defended supporting his run for office in order for Democrats to win the Senate majority in November's midterm elections.
Platner has faced a series of controversies in recent weeks, including criticism over a tattoo with links to Nazi imagery, resurfaced Reddit posts in which he made inflammatory comments about veterans, sexual assault and political opponents, and reports about sexually explicit messages exchanged with other women during his marriage.
During a discussion of Platner's latest scandal, Hostin admitted that she was conflicted due to her belief that the Democrats need to win back Congress.
"So he's a liar, a racist, an antisemite. He's a homophobe," she said. "So he has all the things and character does matter. But we have someone that has almost unbridled power in the White House at this point. There are no checks and balances and the only way that we can maybe bring a bit of our democracy back is by having a Congress that functions and that has these checks and balances. And I do think one of the only ways is to win that seat in Maine."

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin spoke out against Platner's campaign earlier in the conversation.
"To be honest, his sexting is the least of my concerns with this guy," she said. "Graham Plattner trashed a Purple Heart recipient, said he didn't deserve to live, defamed fallen Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, downplayed how hard it is to report sexual assault in the military, repeatedly used anti-gay slurs and homophobic posts as recently as 2021, called himself an avowed communist, and has a Nazi tattoo for 20 years that he's since covered up."
"This guy just seems like a guy of not very good character, and there are a lot of options in this country. And by the way, there are other paths for Democrats to win," Griffin added.
Fellow co-host Sara Haines agreed and said Platner was unfit for office.
"This is a problem," she said. "The Purple Heart recipient, by the way, the video he insulted, was a man who took fire to save his team. And he said, this stupid guy should have died. It's only because they didn't have good aim that he's here. If you were capable of saying that at any time in your life, you've shown me who you are, and I heard you."
"This man should be nowhere near Congress," Haines continued. "We've already got a wealth of people we need out. We're not sending one like this in."

A black Democrat woman blows the whistle on Graham Platner -- a rich bitch ne'er-do-well who went to the Hotchkiss Academy, a boarding school (I short-sold it as a "private" school yesterday) with an annual tuition of $75,000 per year.

She says he's "cosplaying" as "blue collar" man, wearing his flannel shirts as "a Halloween costume."

She adds that a lot of "progressive" candidates -- by which we mean rich-bitch communist candidates -- have been wearing this kind of Blue Collar Halloween Costumes.

TV News Now
@TVNewsNow
🚨 "LOST THE PLOT" Democrat silences CNN panel as she SLAMS her own party over Graham Platner:
"We have lost the plot on authenticity," says Former Biden Advisor Yemisi Egbewole.
"To think Graham Platner is cosplaying working class."
"He wears it like a Halloween costume, and that has been placed on him by the same people who have run a lot of progressive candidates across the nation."
"In this pursuit of getting to know the everyman, we keep picking these people who I think show the worst parts of society."
"If I am to believe that Graham Platner can relate to everyday Americans, then that means I am to believe that everyday Americans are okay with Nazi tattoos because they get them accidentally when they're drunk, or because they served in the military, they have very regressive views on race and on gender."
"I just cannot accept the fact that to gain the working class, we have to dress up people who show the lowest of our values," adds @yemisi.

AOC is totally a working-class bartender from the Bronx you guys. You can tell by the breast implants she's had since high school. Blue collar families routinely spring for expensive cosmetic surgery to boost their daughters' self-esteem.

Remember when AOC first ran for office, and it came out that she had graduated from a fancy suburban public high school, and her campaign claimed that AOC had commuted ninety minutes each way to and from the Bronx in order to attend that fancy suburban public high school?
(In fact, she grew up in the fancy suburb, of course.)

She says he's "cosplaying" as "blue collar" man, wearing his flannel shirts as "a Halloween costume."

So they're desperately trying to get Republicans to release that so they can make the story "conservatives pounce."

So far, Collins is content to let them call her a Nazi, (trying to goad her into lashing out with it) and is holding this until the general election is set.

133 For a quick chronology of Greece...

The Mycenaean civilization is the one depicted in the Iliad/Odyssey.

Mycenae and Sparta were two of their most important cities. Priam of Troy was probably a real figure, but based on communication between the Greeks and Hittites, he was probably Greek as well. Which explains him stealing a Spartan princess...to get a claim on the city.

Then the Mycenaean civilization collapsed and a new Greek civilization emerged with Athens and Sparta as the two main cities. The former "Ionian" and the latter "Dorian". What happened in the dark ages to split Greek civilization is unclear but after defeating Persia (a la 300) Greece started a series of internecine wars that would last until the Romans showed up.

Greece has a long history of trade relations with Egypt, but claiming Egypt as "Africa" is stupid. In the bronze age there were a circle of civilizations that interacted with each other intellectually and via trade and yes war - Greece, Egypt, Phoenicia/Carthage, the fertile crescent and Persia.

Guttfeld's show out performs "The View" and every late night "comedy" show (Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon etc) because the Leftists aren't arround to watch that nonsense at night. They are around in the daytime. You don't even have to take content into consideration.

177 Mycenae was a fairly powerful city state, it was able to raise those cyclopean walls and build the lion gate, and that is not a small task using stone and bronze alone.
The Lions' gate is odd, in that it seems to bring together both Minoan elements in the central pillar and capital, and the flanking lionesses which are considered an Ishtar element from Semitic cultures.
However, there is a train of though that says it is not possible to have that sort of Semitic influence that far west, and the lionesses are a Central Asian or Caspian concept, and are from Indo-European sources, or Pre Indo-European culture.

A better argument might be the Roman homos, who tore up Punic civilization. They had all these things you mention. They spoke almost the same Canaanite as Jews do, although they were themselves converted Greeks and (relevant here) Berbers.
Egypt is clearly its own thing, and calling an Egyptian an "African" is a good way to get your ass beat.

183 And was primarily the reason for the Romans taking over.

If you look at a map of the world on the death of Alexander, Greece owns Greece, Asia Minor, Middle East, the Levant, Egypt, and Afghanistan while Rome is a small city locked in wars with the hill tribes neighboring it.

But the Greeks then fell to in fighting to the point where Rome (and the Persians) would eventually supplant them.

That is backwards, the Sea People were after Troy, and the Lions' gate is previous to the conquest of Crete.

I have heard speculation that the Lions' gate was built by the Minoans as a sort of treaty building political interchange, with the Cretans being the architects and the Myceneans providing the labor, with both political streams providing the logo, but it is just a speculation with no real archeological finding. The Cretans mostly traded with Asia Minor, in areas like Byblos, until they were eclipsed by Mycenae and conquered.

The shit fetish will be too, soon enough.

We had young Master Beto feeding his wife shit toast. We had years of propaganda for a guy who crapped all over Marine One and the Vatican. Now a dude who beats off in port-a-potties.

It's only a matter of time til we have a guy hammering his fists on a Presidential podium and screaming that scheisse-play is the life of the racial community and that the Jews are robbing us of our precious bodily solids.

Let's assume for a moment she's right. Why didn't Africans create what the ancient Greeks did, and before the Ancient Greeks did? Over to you, Black Athena. Please respond without using racism, white supremacy, or similar excuses.

The 'stolen culture/cultural appropriation' people are simply trying to prove their tribe is better than your tribe. It's nothing but an attempt to deal with an inferiority complex, if you ask me.

233 192 They showed up to a few squabbles and settled things, and went home to Rome. But Greece was like siblings tusselling in the back seat of the car.

And Rome turned the car around. The Romans did not come and just conquer Greece, they put up with a bit of "He's picking on me!" squabbles before they said "fuck it".
Posted by: Axeman at June 02, 2026 01:51 PM (Fi81e)

This is how the Romans expanded their influence, they traded into an area, then acted to settle any conflict that affected that trade, then chose a side to support, then kept that party in power until there was a rebellion and then stomped everything flat and declared it a province.

253 There was a lot of intermarriage between the Christians and the Jews in Northern Spain. It was essentially a trading economy across the Pyrenees, and that required financing, and the Jews were a part of the society, to the point of building civic structures like gate and towers for cities, and intermarrying. It was post-reconquista that Ferdinand and Isabella decided to expel the Jews, and that was part of an attempt to both get rid of debt, and consolidate the various kingdoms into a single state. Cervantes slyly comments on the issue of Don Quixote's aristocratic blue blood, and Pancho's comment that he, Pancho himself. was a true Spaniard in that he had no Jewish blood since he was totally lower class.

That job may not have much security/longevity...

The United Nations is not bankrupt as of June 2026, but it narrowly avoided running out of cash in July 2026, the deadline Secretary-General António Guterres had warned was imminent.

Cash Crisis: The UN faced a severe liquidity crunch due to unpaid dues, with the U.S. owing approximately $4 billion in regular and peacekeeping arrears.

Avoided Collapse: While Guterres warned that cash could run out by mid-year without urgent action, the organization remained operational through late June, though it continued to rely on cash conservation measures.

It was the latest in a series of forced conversion efforts(largely successful ultimately), less so a goal of expulsion. Lots of tension between religious Jews and Conversos (ethnic Jews who had converted). Over time most of the Jews of Spain were converted much like the Christians of Egypt(to Islam).

NHS in the UK and Canada is horrible to their own people. If you get sick, well, don't go to the ED they say. Wait a day for a private MD for your horrific sinus infection in Edinburgh (this was over a decade ago for me after a flight. Paid out of pocket, no biggie, given an antibiotic and lived). Told specifically not to go to the ED. I have to assume if I was bleeding from ebola, maybe.

The reason it takes months for a MRI in Canada?
432 MRI units across 296 sites nationwide

‘Life sciences competitive indicators 2024’, published on 11 July 2024, show that the UK had the lowest number of CT scanners (10), MRI units (8.6), and PET scanners (0.5) per million population in 2021 amongst 10 comparator countries with similar levels of economic development.

This is why people come to the USA for healthcare.

The United States has over 11,000 active MRI machines.

You can literally hear him gurgle as he's talking, which competent first responders are trained to react to. As they're cuffing him, you can see Henry's skin is a pale yellowish color, which is another sign they missed. When the police inspect him for stab wounds, they do the most quarter-assed pat down ever. One officer notes, in a bored officious tone, that Henry's eyes are not responding to light stimulus. She later asks if they should do something given his eyes are non-responsive.

The cops mis-handled this top to bottom, then went into ass-covering mode. They scrutinized Henry's phone for "racism." When they informed Henry's father of his death, they confiscated the father's phone and scrutinized that too for racism. Then the local police X/Twitter account released a statement that the perp misled the police and he was going to die anyway.

“Purging of the United States, we need a de-MAGAfication. I’m not going over the top by using a word that’s very similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War Two in Germany.

It’s not just the MAGA ideology, but the whole structure of hugely unequal power, hugely unequal wealth that made this horrific moment possible. It’s not going to be easy, but, and maybe it’s not going to be doable, but we have to try, because this is an absolute, this is a nightmare, this is the nightmare beyond, I think, even the worst fantasies of progressives, beyond the worst fantasies of conservatives, who still have a conscience, there still are plenty of those, but they’re no longer MAGA.

This has to be turned around, and we should not, above all, whitewash or forget this moment. This is where a lot of forces in America have been leading, and if we don’t do something beyond just getting rid of Trump, it’s going to happen again.”

Yeah, as of today, I've stopped believing they mean that.

For some reason, a bunch of Dems have recently started sending the dog-whistle that they are coming for us.

The reason I call it a dog-whistle is that Dems won't hear it. Oh, they will celebrate it, they may even cheer the sentiment that finally those "Nazis" will get theirs. But they'll never connect it to the irony of what a "democracy" is supposed to mean, because Dem voters have fully swallowed the conceit that they favor "democracy".

The dividers have to scare us, because we don't believe them.

Now, I'm not saying it's not dangerous. I'm not saying that real or staged shots at Trump aren't part of it. They may have to break a few eggs to keep the Graft flowing.

Probably mouth. I saw many, many horrific traumas in my 7yrs in the med center trauma services. One man came in after cutting part of his skull off with his brain. They still freaking tried to save him and he died in surgery upstairs with the on call neurosurgeons and trauma surgeons.

He was an artist who used an electric saw to make sculptures from logs and the saw kicked back.

I've seen trauma surgeons do a thoracotomy in the trauma room to hold their fingers in the hole of the aorta til surgery upstairs. Within minutes and the CT machine in the room showing the injury. This patient lived. Some don't, but this one did.

364 I keep wondering about the wonders of the ruins of Songhai.

I have mentioned this before but there is a thing out there that the country of Benin was this wonderful circular city with a wall 100 feet high, before the British wiped them out because they were vicious slavers. But this thing also believes that the British completely eradicated all traces of the entire society- which is why you can't find anything of it today.

Axum in Ethiopia has stone ruins aplenty but that was a Christian state of post Roman age. Mycenae or pre Mycenae is much older. I'm not hugely familiar with the Saharan/Sub-Saharan states of West Africa but they are even newer and were in contact with Islamic North Africa.

I'm not sure the Brits did much to bring down Benin physically because Yellow fever on that coast was such a killer unless we are talking pretty late 19th century. Those coasts were claimed by France more than the UK until the anti-slave fleets worked offshore in the 19th century.

I've long suspected Wayne County of trying to offset the red counties, which is illustrated in my youth by Wayne being the first county to report, likely to discourage voters in red counties--because they reported %s before polls closed back then. Just in the last few decades it became one of the very last counties to send the final report.

About a year ago, they hatched a scheme to fill the coffers. The jist of it was that there would be fines and penalties on all Oceanic shipping if the ship did not go full non-carbon. It was estimated that this would generate over $6 Billion annually as most shipping companies would not have budgeted for such a drastic overhaul, and it would be long in the completion. The fines and penalties were to be overseen and held by the UN.

This is just one example of why they are so emphatic about Climate Change. It is a finance issue for continued existence.

Incedently, Trump was not too kind when he said the US would not comply, and that they would not be collecting any fines or penalties from US shipping.

Jimmy Kimmel Cries That His Show Will End the Way Colbert's Did (And for the Same Reason)

God save us from effeminate, histrionic men.

Yes, Jimmy, you will go the way that Colbert went, because you both are anti-talents losing the shareholders tens of millions per year.

The left is crowing that the replacement for Colbert's show is only drawing 878,000 viewers.

A bit better than it did when it was on at like 1:30 in the morning.

But it has a different business model: Byron Allen pays CBS for the hour, and collects the advertising revenue himself.

CBS lost $40 million per year to produce The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which attracted around 2.1 million viewers.
CBS is profiting $15 million per year to air Comics Unleashed, which attracted 878,000 in its debut.

Because Allen is paying CBS that $15 million.

Which is the better business decision? Losing $40 million per year, or profiting $15 million per year?
Are you still with me? This is about to get even more complicated...
After buying Colbert's former timeslot from CBS, Byron Allen will keep the proceeds from whatever advertising he sells. This means that whatever money he takes in above the $15 million license fee and the costs involved to produce Comics Unleashed (which must be a pittance) is pure profit.
"We're proud to partner with Byron Allen on a new business and programming model for late night that... was cost-prohibitive to continue," a statement from CBS read. "With this 'time buy' model, we have shifted an hour that was losing roughly $40 million annually to $15 million in profit -- a $55 million swing."

So Jimmy Kimmel is doing what weak manipulative narcissists do, and whining that people should pay attention to him and pity him.

Jimmy Kimmel has some thoughts on the purported death of late-night television.
The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host opened up in a new interview with Vulture about the future of the genre following the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" on CBS and his own run-ins with Trump, including his suspension following comments made about the death of Charlie Kirk.
"I feel a little bit defeated about it," Kimmel told Vulture after Colbert's final episode aired on May 21. "In a lot of ways, I feel like I'm looking at my own future."

Diabetes?

CBS canceled "The Late Show" in July 2025 -- a year before Colbert's three-year deal was set to end -- citing "purely financial reasons" despite much speculation that Colbert's anti-Trump views had something to do with it, especially with the Paramount-Skydance merger in the background. Though it was reported that Colbert's show was losing $40 million a year, Kimmel told Vulture he finds that hard to believe, pointing to a 2023 New York Times article that claims Colbert was offered a five-year contract but decided to go with three.
"Am I to believe that over the course of those two years, they suddenly started losing $40 million a year?" he said. "These are just made-up numbers."

Like a liberal, he makes up his own "facts" to justify and validate himself.

Kimmel said that ABC has told him "quite specifically" that his show is still profitable.
"There are far more people watching late-night TV than there ever were, if you look at the number of views me and my colleagues get online every day and add in our linear-television ratings," Kimmel asserted, adding: "We're not just dying of natural causes. We're being poisoned."

Are you actually insane?!?

Johnny Carson had 10-17 million viewers per night -- "only" 12 million per night in his last years.

Jimmy Kimmel's ratings range between 1.7 million and 2.2 million.

He's claiming that millions and millions and more uncounted millions watch him on YouTube. Whatever. Fat retard making shit up to make himself feel like a success.

...
Asked if he has thought about retirement, Kimmel said he's still unsure when his time will come. "It's important to me to be responsible," he said. "I know I could go out in a blaze of glory and get a lot of applause for it, but it would be a very selfish thing to do."

LOL. He does this every night. Except it's not glorious. It's just self-pleasing and selfish.

That is, if he isn't ousted first. Trump has repeatedly called for Kimmel to be fired, most recently when he made a joke about Melania Trump having a "glow like an expectant widow." In that case and that of Kirk, Kimmel said he "had the truth on my side as a defense. What if I actually do do something wrong? I mean, that's inevitable."
Of the president, Kimmel said: "I don't love him. I don't hate him, either. I feel sorry for him. He obviously didn't get hugged a lot."

Uh-huh.

Meanwhile, ABC is suing the FCC to claim that The View really is a "bona fide news program" and therefore not required to follow "equal time" rules.

Bona fide news content. Shyah.

On May 7, 2026, ABC submitted a filing to the Federal Communications Commission arguing the FCC infringed on the network's First Amendment rights.
ABC submitted the filing after the FCC asked an ABC-owned broadcast station in March to file a formal request for the FCC to determine whether ABC's "The View" is exempt from the FCC's equal opportunities rule, even though the talk show has held an exemption from the rule since 2002.
The equal opportunities rule says that if a legally qualified candidate for office appears on a broadcast station, that station is required to give equal time to all other candidates who request it.
"The View" holds one of several exemptions from the rule, what's known as the "bona fide news interview" exemption.
In its May 7 filing, ABC makes the case that "The View" continues to meet the requirements for the exemption and raises First Amendment concerns about the FCC's request that the station ask the agency to reaffirm its exemption, as well as about the FCC's general application of the rule.
The FCC has not publicly released the March document but has made statements defending the decision and its interpretation of the equal opportunities rule.
The request came months after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said he didn't believe "The View," and similar daytime and late-night talk shows, should qualify, citing concerns about partisan bias on the shows.

But before I quit watching TV the GOPe simps threw tons of money at the news programs buying campaign ads.

I thought this model was the standard model by now. It's how other markets work. I think Allen will make it work because (i) the guy is very smart and (ii) he's got major IP behind him and can produce a show that people will watch, at a fraction of the cost of these late-night shitfests.

The cost of these late-night shows was insane. Another example of money-laundering, IMO. Allen won't spend anywhere near that much.

Assuming no further bad news comes from the mega scan, I'm likely going with radiation treatment which involves being anally molested again followed by daily (weekdays only cuz cancer doesn't grow on weekends/holidays) zaps for about a month and then, theoretically, done.

153 I think we need an unbiased test of Jimmy Kimmel.

We need to have him do his monologues to a field of corn. In another field, close by, play re-runs of Johnny Carson monologues. Both monologues have the audience laughter/laugh tracks stripped. Set up a third field with no sound, and a fourth with Rush (for Doof). See which field has the best results. You know - testing the theory that talking to plants helps them grow.

I suspect the best results would be from playing Johnny, Rush, silence, then Jimmy.

Black women always hated interracial couples. Why? For purely selfish reasons of course: Because an available pool of desirable black men would go for white women, leaving the dating pool shallower for black women.

It's only recently that black women have decided to play the same game and try to snatch up desirable white men.

I couldn't care less if he and his became sharecroppers in the future. The Roots would continue to be spectacular without him.

Saw "Backrooms.

It's pretty good.

You can't say much about it, cuz not much happens so it would all be spoilers.

Basically, a guy sick of his life falls through a wall in the basement of his furniture store and lands in another that's essentially one big office building with weird accoutrements.

The movie just wants to creep you out and manages a slow burn build-up.

There's no real explanation though you kinda get the what? of what's happening and kinda get the why? of what's happening, but you need to pay attention to the dialogue as well as the visuals.

By the third act I started looking at my watch, so it just barely held my attention toward the end.

I liked it. Didn't love it.

Some people think the ending scene was a dud. But, I didn't. It sorta explained things and shifted my opinion to the positive side.

So...if you can only see one horror movie this Summer, go see "Obsession".

If you can see two, this one's alright but if you wait till it streams at home I don't think you'll lose anything, and-

BONUS! You can stop it and go make a BLT if you get bored.

The Morning Rant

The current "negotiations" between The United States of America and the fundamentalists in charge of Iran are a thinly veiled joke. These are not two combatants roughly equal who have decided to work out their differences across a table rather than across a battlefield. This is the world's superpower offering a lifeline to a country whose armed forces and hierarchy have been thoroughly degraded by a month of hi-tech destruction that wasn't even an all-out effort. Iran's military-industrial base has been largely destroyed. They can no longer build missiles in any quantity, and their launchers are a prime target for American air power. They have to import Iraqi thugs to control the populace, and they are rapidly running out of money, and storage space for their oil.

However...The talks are progressing on a typical trajectory that has been successful for the past 47 years...ever since the Iranian revolution of 1979. And that trajectory is delay, obfuscation, manipulation of world media, and of course the outright lies that Iran has any interest in peace, or entry into the world of civilized nations. The seemingly petulant outburst from Iran a few days ago, ending the most recent discussions and laying out many new demands is part and parcel of this never-ending cycle.

But they are emboldened by their 1,400 year old history of Islamic Taqqiya, combined with their Persian sense of superiority and conviction that they are simply smarter and tougher and more clever than America. Of course it worked for many years!

President Trump is inordinately proud of his ability to make deals, and while he has had tremendous success both domestically and with foreign affairs, the IRGC and the Mullahs have no internal flexibility. They have one purpose, and that is survival to return to their typical ways, and their one goal, which is the destruction of Israel, the destruction of the West, the destruction of America, and the ushering in of a world-wide Caliphate. It is binary, and they have no interest in anything else.

Here is someone who understands that, and who is not fooled by the manipulations:

You cannot make a deal with a regime that uses lies as a strategic weapon

In 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini came to power on a wave of promises. Many Iranians, including university students and idealists of every stripe, believed him. They could not yet see the true nature of what they were welcoming. It did not take long. The bloodshed began almost immediately. Hundreds of thousands of Iranians who dared to protest were killed. I grew up in the shadow of that reality, and eventually I became one of its targets, imprisoned and sentenced to death for the crime of following Jesus.
What I learned inside those prison walls is the same thing the world keeps refusing to learn outside them: this regime does not negotiate in good faith. It negotiates for survival. Lying – taqiyya – is its religiously sanctioned strategic weapon.
Western leaders consistently make the same mistake. They look at Iran and see a government with factions, “reformists” and hardliners. They conclude that the “reformists” represent a genuine alternative. They do not. The “reformist” and hardliner structure is a performance, a deliberate good cop, bad cop strategy designed to give Westerners the illusion that progress is possible if only the right faction gains influence. In fact, both serve the same system and would sacrifice each other in an instant to preserve it.

If President Trump sticks to his remarkably consistent statements that Iran cannot become a nuclear power, or even build one nuclear device, then the only way to ensure that is a renewed military campaign that drives the IRGC and the Mullahs out of Iran, or simply destroys them.

Certainly we cannot count on the people of Iran to drive the IRGC out. 47 years of a comprehensive surveillance state combined with the brutality of the regime has made that a difficult proposition at best. But if a renewed military effort increased the pressure on the IRGC while further degrading their ability to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, then perhaps a general uprising is possible -- not probable though.

The surest bet is the destruction of the IRGC, and that will take time. The question is: Does President Trump have the political capital to see it through to the end, and does the American body politic have the fortitude to handle high energy prices until the IRGC is no more?

It's AI generated, but very well done. People from Iran said in comments that the section he did on the slaughter of protesters was very accurate.

13 The surest bet is the destruction of the IRGC, and that will take time. The question is: Does President Trump have the political capital to see it through to the end, and does the American body politic have the fortitude to handle high energy prices until the IRGC is no more?

======

His political capital is built on gas prices, it seems.

And they've started their way down as the combination of demand destruction (happening genuinely everywhere, but in particular in Africa and China) and the rerouting of tankers (going around Africa is now standard) is having the overall effect of calming things down.

Our exports have actually decreased over the last few weeks. Venezuela is exporting like 3x as much as it had been under Maduro.

We're going to have an oversupply soon.

And, in addition, UAE both leaving OPEC and building a pipeline to bypass the strait completely (should be finished early 2027) are making the strait and Iran's "grip" on the global economy worthless...all while they get poorer everyday from lost import/export income and out of control inflation.

Trump can wait a whole lot longer than Iran can.

The negotiations are theater for political audiences on both sides of the conflict.

They have been meaningless since day one.

The point now is to starve Iran and the IRGC. Turn them into Afghanistan while reorientating the energy world towards us. That's the point overall. We can wait them out until they give up the nuclear material in 3 years, all while the world buys more energy from us and our proxies (like Venezuela, now).

"Negotiations" should be no more than:

"Do you accept unconditional surrender?
No?
OK, we'll be back next month."
Each time, show them a list of 100 targets that will be destroyed in 24 hours; their personal homes, their families, their mosques.
Repeat until "yes."

That it, no talking, no negotiation, nothing.
Ignore their cries.
Ignore their pleas.
Let them suffer.
Let them die.
Until they cry "yes."

Trump doesn't want boots on the ground. Fine.
But that doesn't mean we should allow the insane religious fanatics--who believe their god will save them even as they are surrounded by bodies--a choice.

Saudi Arabia is already using a pre-existing pipeline to move 7 million barrels of oil a day. More than half of the pre-existing oil out of the strait was redirected in days.

Not hit in months since the start of the conflict.

And you can fix pipelines a whole lot faster than you can convince Indian tanker captains that IRGC thugs on speed boats firing AK-47s in the air aren't actual threats.

29 President Trump knows how to use his enemy's strength against him. This is a standard and very effective physical fighting technique, and works equally if not better in the realms of more emotional or mental battle.

Anything you insist on can become your undoing against a prepared and willing enemy.

Think of how conservatives ultimately desire an ordered society, so the Left uses that against us by simultaneously demanding the very same order and destroying it.

I would imagine - only a guess - Trump is using the eternal islamist will to undermine, lie and destroy against them. Watching someone cut each limb off, thinking they are trading limb for limb, only for them to eventually look down and realize they are armless and legless and Trump is actually fine. That's the outline of what I can see happening. I'm not saying it's the whole thing or that this will end perfectly but I know how Trump works and that's at least the sort of thing he would do against this type of enemy.

Yup. Exactly what got us into the Crusade and even the Barbary Pirates, which we tried to strike a deal with.

Pre-crusades, the Vatican kept paying Muzzies for safe passage for pilgrims to the Holy Land. (Land the Muzzies had seized over 100s of years, mind you). They kept kidnapping pilgrims and either holding them for ransom of converting them to slaves.

We finally had to kick Tripoli's ass because Muzzies simply do not feel that any agreement made to an "infidel" is required to be observed. And their Imams told them that.

One possibility: Logistics. Manufacturing and restocking munitions. Resting and training the military.

The goal of "taqiyya" is basically going "nice doggy" while reaching for a stick. In the case of Islam, calling for peace, then braining someone with the stick once the opponent thinks peace is there. Except they had no stick at the time, so the peace talks were just to give time to find that nice braining stick.

However, Islam isn't the only one that can do that. Difference is, we still have plenty of those 'sticks', a manufacturing base to build more, and the ships to move them back into position.

At least, that's what I'm hoping was done over the past few months of cease fire. I trust Hegseth on this more than the 6-star crossdressing commisars of the Biden administration that somehow hung around.

56 Of the 90-odd million Iranians, probably 70-75M vehemently oppose the theocratic regime that has murdered them by the thousands.
But, there's around 8-10M of the Iranian public that supports the Mullah's, the IRGC and the "Death to Israel, Death to America" mantras.
As long as those 8-10M continue to exist, there will be no regime change, no honest negotiating, no ceasing of the headlong race to obtain nuclear weapons and no end to the support of terrorist proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.
Removing those radical Shia elements from controlling the rest of the population (which is unarmed and terrorized by the Basij and Security forces) will require a far greater commitment, like boots on the ground and a post-WW2 Japan-like occupation of their territory.
Otherwise, we have weakened a dangerous enemy, but attempting to reach some sort of "agreement" with them brings to mind the Treaty of Versailles that ended hostilities in WW1, but simply set the stage for a far greater conflict just a couple decades later.

Then we apply lessons learned. The problem in WWI was that the major powers were so exhausted and reluctant to address Hitler in the early days, when it would have been pretty easy to dispose of him. When the IRGC starts moving on the Rhineland, we send some more drones over and obliterate them and whatever they've managed to build up since hostilities ceased.

Long term, I think what has transpired is going to be pay dividends long past Trump's presidency. Venezuela dealt with. Iran being dealt with. Cuba in our focus and starting to crumble. China getting a front row seat to what we can do, and seeing that their weapons systems don't appear to be up to the task.

These are pain points we've dealt with for decades. And by the end of PDT's term, they should be gone.

They need to be Iranian boots. Their future freedom has to come at a personal cost. It did for us. It has to for them. And they still need weapons.

Which is why I don't like all this talk of dealmaking. It's ridiculous, and I think it sends conflicting messages to the Iranian people, who will be less likely to risk their lives if they fear that the IRGC can deal their way out of total defeat.

How is a different country's boots going to get to Iran, actually win engagements and take ground, maintain their logistics, sustain an occupation? Most of those armies are too incompetent to get anything resembling any of those accomplished and it's likely is a moot point anyway because their leaders have near zero will to attempt such a thing.

And Trump, as he does, is thinking outside of the box.

Americans aren't going to want American boots on the ground. That's just not a loss that we're going to be willing to take--unless everybody believed the Trump administration about Iran's immanent risk to US.

And that is simply not going to happen, were he even to declassify every intel document that has the word "Iran" in it.

I don't disagree. However, the problem can be broken into parts, which makes the solution more plausible.

1) We just have to "contain" Iran, which we can do at a relatively low cost, and as TJM has pointed out, with relatively little impact on gas prices.

2) While we're doing that, in the background Iran continues to deteriorate. At some point, a low level insurrection by the Iranian people will begin, and might quickly become a high level one.

People assume that totalitarian regimes are invincible, but the USSR put the lie to that.

136 The $200 barrel of oil never materializes because it's...a worldwide market with a vastly complex distribution network that moves away from disruption and towards equilibrium.

More than half of all the oil out of the strait was redirected within days. Tankers are sailing around Africa to get to oil in the Middle East from western Saudi ports. US exports grew. Venezuela exports grew. Brent exports grew.

We're going to see $60 per barrel oil soon.

Sadly for us, the Chairman of Exxon made some remarks yesterday that directly contradicted this view - and he's no corporate leftist. I don't want to believe him, but he had with him charts of worldwide oil storage and inventories, and how they have been cratering for the last couple of months. He's predicting $150 - $160 by end of summer, and said Exxon is preparing for that as best it could.

that would explain much of the Administration's actions, especially why Trump is trying so hard to negotiate a way out of this potential disaster.

Croatia is great, as is Slovenia. Montenegro and Macedonia are also pretty nice, although a step behind in terms of economic development. They're all full of natural beauty if you like mountains, rivers, ocean, etc. Kosovo is still developing, but the people love Americans. Albania is also a little rough, and they have some crime and poverty issue. Bosnian Herzegovina is fascinating, a mix of development and failure, and everyone in Sarajevo I talked with in 2022 said it felt like right before the fall of Yugoslavia, and they figured their nation would fail soon.

A 20 point plan, and the first step, obtaining all the hostages or their remains, was achieved and that was a very notable success. That was what Israel was fighting for.

In the 6 months or so since it was signed, steps 2 - 20, including disarming Hamas, have all collapsed, the deal is effectively dead, and Gaza is still run by Hamas, just like before 10/7. They're weaker and have lost most of their leaders; but that's happened before and Hamas grew back.

This is the tactic for Venezuela. In the end the oil revenue was collapsing and there literally was no money for anything. When things get that bad even the nomenklatura are willing to "make changes" if they can be assured a chance at surviving and spending their wealth.
Iran is a bit more difficult since it was set up as a decentralized system, where the local commands had power to act if cut loose from the system. The individual commands have less future to look forward to, and their only future was within the IRGC so they will support the old system possibly until the last man. This is going to look more like island hopping in the Pacific war, and less like a march on Berlin.

This is the new normal. We substantially degraded Iran's military, economic, and political power, as well as the power of its allies (mostly China). That was -- or should have been -- the prime objective from the beginning.

"Regime change" was always pure wishcasting, but far too many people on our side fell for it. Maybe even Trump himself did.

There is no such thing on this planet as a free western-style democracy in a Muslim country, or even anything that even remotely resembles one. It was never ever gonna happen in Iran. The sooner we all realize that, and give up childish dreams of all Iranians living open and free, the sooner we can consolidate our gains in the region.

What I learned from working in the business is a constant that has held true for almost a century now, regardless of business climate or political trends - if you want to increase oil supply in any measurable way, you need to start 5 years ago. That's the average lag time in any big development projects that can make a significant change in your numbers.

The US has high oil production now because a lot of drillers began large programs in West Texas and other areas in the 2021 - 2023 time frame, in spite of Biden's attempt to interfere.

Trump was annoyed by the chairman of Exxon when he invited him to take over and rebuild the Venezuelan oilfields. Chairman said publicly that it would take 10 years and $100 billion in investments to bring them back, and his company had better prospects elsewhere.

Shale takes a bit under a year, though there's only so many places that can be done. Oil supply has been much more flexible since 2014 which is why estimates for extreme pricing scenarios have regularly been wrong.

There's also some flexibility in areas that were producing below capacity. The global gap that needs to be covered is about 5% to enable an indefinite blockade.

That is true, but there's a price to pay for such decentralization. Every local IRGC leader imagines himself as a warlord, and pretty soon, they start fighting among themselves, making overthrow of the entire system much easier. Also, they can be defeated in detail.

Trump's basic problem is that he's trying to pursue a "Kind War",

in the sense that he believes that the majority of Iranians want to be free of insane Shiite muslim rule.

Plus, he wants to preserve the ability of a new, friendly gov't to export oil and rebuild their country.

Plus, he wants to preserve good will with the Muslim frenemies in the area. Which precludes an all out attempt to destroy Shiite power probably by bombing the mosques and madrassas to dust hopefully with the Shiite clergy on board.

But, the Shiite gov't exists only to bring about the apocalypse.

Trump's problem then is to either have the Iranians overthrown the regime and install a new gov't which it appears they can't, won't, or don't appear able to do.

Or, convince the Shiite loonies that if they want to ability to eventually destroy Israel, the US, Western Society and the world in general...well, they just have to reset their watches to fifty years or so in the future...or whenever the US loses interest.

Possibly the next major election if the Democrats win.

In that case, if the iranians really do think in 100 years blocks instead of next week like they're always bragging...they'll make the deal.

The USSR gave independent nuclear attack authority to individual commanders at times, they were uniquely insane and it is a very good thing they're gone.

Russia does pose a threat to us (assuming their nukes are still in working order), but not in terms of conventional warfare. They're struggling with a single, formerly conquered, neighbor. Given a few decades and slowly gobbling up and consolidating eastern europe again they could pose a threat, but even europe's dilapidated military would easy hold of Russia right now.

The Ukraine sentiment is mostly reactionary to how fervently the left deployed their astroturf Ukraine virtue signal campaign. If sentiment had time to build more naturally I think quite a few more people would have properly acknowledged that Russia is clearly in the wrong. Whether we should be supporting them at the level we have is a separate debate.

The Department of the Interior held a landmark oil and gas lease sale today for the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, resulting in 187 leases and $163,696,722 in total receipts. The sale, which was the first for the reserve since 2019 and the first under President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, made history for the leasing program in the 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, with the most revenue generated ever, the most tracts receiving bids and the second most acreage sold in a single sale.

Except that Ukraine is getting weapons for use against a military adversary, not for an insurgency. The Persians don't need MANPADS, main battle tanks and artillery batteries. They need small arms so that they can shoot individual IRGC assholes in the face at close range.

Small arms in the hands of Persian insurgents are a threat to the IRGC, not as much to the rest of the world.

The Prussian army in the Franco-Prussian war was capturing arms from the French, and selling them to Bannerman's in New York. Bannerman's told the Prussians that they were neutral and would sell to anyone who could bring them the money, and the Prussians said they didn't care if the weapons got sold to the French again, they would just capture them again.
In some estimations, Bannerman's may have sold the same lots of weapons three or four times to the Paris Commune.

Trump made two mistakes:
(1) not dropping millions of firearms on Iran; and

I confess that that movie came out in my most hyper-critical period as a film-goer. So, my estimation probably has a lot of that as carry-over.

291 It's way past time to airdrop tens of thousanfs of AK47s and grenades like confetti intio Tehran. Those small arms are useless for IRGC but crucial to an uprising if there ever is to be one.

A surprise airdrop would probably result in 90% of them being picked up by non-IRGC people. Then its up to the Iranians if they want a new leadership. Street patrols by the IRGC thugs would get very dangerous.

This has turned into a stalemate and the Iranians can last for a long time by trade routes over land. You have to elevate the pressure and I don't see the downside of airdropping 20K rifles and grenades into a country that already has millions.

Posted by: hate_the_deepstate at June 02, 2026 01:01 PM (HLGJk)

292 It would be really great if our US Congress would stop signaling that they will help the mullahs all they can. If they stood with Trump for once, the war would be over by now and gas prices would be back to normal.

I do not believe Trump is being fooled. I think he wants to give them every possible chance to do the right thing before he unleashes a distressingly painful consequence. Trump wants a peaceful resolution but will give them violence if they refuse peace. He doesn't want violence, but he will produce it if necessary.

What a remarkably stupid comment by the most arrogant narcissist in the entire co-blogger realm. The smug clown who fills our Sundays with showing off his insipid wit and hoity-toity food encyclicals about garlic and French cuisine thinks that the man who forged the Abraham accords, multiple peace and trade deals between hostile nations, and united the Middle East against the Iranian regime thinks President Trump is "inordinately proud".

Seems like a lot of possibilities here. None of those possibilities seem good.

Hmmm, there are two choices before you as you've stated them.

1) Gently keep them from building a nest in an undesirable area.

2) Eat their children.

I think I'd go with #1. I got a dozen large eggs for under $2 the other night.

I think it is supposed to be any off topic comment before 100. Exactly what it says on the box.

The idea being that the cob or guest cob in question spent a lot of time preparing a post for the blog and having someone discussing how they really loved Popeye's Chicken sandwich is just rude and dismissive. Unless the guest cob did a post on chicken sandwiches and how McDonald's Chicken Biscuit breakfast sandwich was a delicious surprise.

161 World Cup tickets are expensive for the top tier teams and US team. But even there, it’s not as crazy as the media is making it out. As shocking as it is, the media - get this - lies.

Yeah best seats in the house are several thousands. But you can get upper deck seats for under $1000. For lower tier teams seats are in the $200-300 range. There are many college football games every year where tickets are more than that. Cheapest Super Bowl tickets are $5k every year. The big games command big prices for tickets. People were spending $1k for nosebleed seats to see Taylor Swift and the same media that is complaining about World Cup prices was celebrating that. Gee I wonder why that is? Could it be because TayTay is a Democrat sweetheart but Trump is president during the WC? Nah that’s crazy talk.

I’m not sure exactly what people expect. The WC is the biggest sports event in the world. It’s a once in a lifetime event for a lot of people. It’s not going to be cheap to attend.

174 Grampa here looks like Jimmy Durante, yes, but also like a Old Hollywood fellow named C. Aubrey Smith. He played Peter Lawford's father in the 1949 Little Women w/ June Allyson.

IMDb: "It was in 1930, with the advent of sound, that Smith found his position in the movies and that position would be distinguished roles. He played military officers, successful business men, ministers of the cloth and ministers of government. With the bushy eyebrows and stoic face, he played men who know about honour, tradition, and the correct path."

Indeed. In general, you would expect the price to be higher in year 20xx + 10 than 20xx, so as some point between 20xx and 20xx + 10 you're likely to have a "most expensive x ever" year.

It does not surprise me that under Biden or under Trump we have the "most expensive" version of some event ever.

Because inflation doesn't stay at 0.0% and prices, over time, increase. The main places where we've seen prices fall is in tech where they learn to do some newer thing drastically better. And tech prices, having been put in the market basket, restrain the calculated rate of inflation.

Which generally give people the wrong idea of how fast the price of standard commodities are rising.

You laugh but most combos with a large drink seem to be around 9-10.

And everything is like that. Taco Bell. I got some for the first time in months last week. 2 chicken chalupa combo (so comes with a hard shell taco) and got a regular order of nacho fries and a large drink and it came to like $14. Taco Bell.

232 Because inflation doesn't stay at 0.0% and prices, over time, increase. The main places where we've seen prices fall is in tech where they learn to do some newer thing drastically better. And tech prices, having been put in the market basket, restrain the calculated rate of inflation.

Also that thing about subsidizing it by selling your information.

233 Man I like reading the Guardian.
It's some of the most deliberately ignorant, intentionally dense propaganda out there.

It's not even good propaganda 'cause they're all so uneducated themselves, the best they can do is recycle the same lies they've relied upon for decades.

They're all on about how redistricting in TN is going to hurt Memphis.
Citing and quoting all the economic ills and racism that ail the city.
That ... are somehow the fault of redistricting that has barely taken effect.

And not caused by the decades-long control of the city by Dems.
Or that the lone D Congressional seat was held by a white man.
Who all have done nothing to help the city in their decades.

It's good that's their best propaganda.

243 174 Grampa here looks like Jimmy Durante, yes, but also like a Old Hollywood fellow named C. Aubrey Smith. He played Peter Lawford's father in the 1949 Little Women w/ June Allyson.

IMDb: "It was in 1930, with the advent of sound, that Smith found his position in the movies and that position would be distinguished roles. He played military officers, successful business men, ministers of the cloth and ministers of government. With the bushy eyebrows and stoic face, he played men who know about honour, tradition, and the correct path."

Gravity is a construct of white patriarchal colonialism and does not reflect the lived experiences of the oppressed minorities.

2011 NFIB v. Sebelius.

We were one SCOTUS vote, where all the theory of what our Constitution entails comes from, one vote away from an official finding that Congress power to regulate commerce included mandating economic activity.

RGB's argument to Roberts was along the lines of "C'mon", because Roberts had already consented with keeping ACA in place.

Putting our pocket books at the government's discretion. Moving from prohibition by law to compulsion from law, outside of a military draft to confront an actual existential emergency (at least in theory).

That one vote would have ended the tradition of our entire theory of government.

362 Old Man and a Child, 1722 or 1723
Gaspare Traversi

(Also titled Old beggar with Urchin)

Greatly skilled but very dark and dramatic.

"...his lucid, at times merciless, portrayals of local people satirize the social aspirations of the emergent bourgeois class in southern Italy."

After 1752, he spent a great deal of time in Rome and painted scenes in which he interpreted biblical and apocryphal subjects from everyday life for both the Church (i.e., Absalom murders Amnon, Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Rome) and private church-related clients.

I've enjoyed scanning through his works online but a lot of them, such as featured above, are too unsettling and I would pass hanging.

The Morning Report — 6/ 2 /26

Good morning kids. A little bit of history to start things off. In the former Soviet Union, political dissidents not only wound up in the gulags but in the post-Stalin years many were actually thrown into psychiatric wards. This was especially true for anyone who wanted to emigrate to the West. The rationale was because the Soviet Union was a paradise on earth, anyone who wanted to leave had to be insane.

The “abuse of psychiatry for political purposes” was widespread in the Soviet Union. When the release of political prisoners began in 1987 it became apparent that one third of their number were detained, often indefinitely, in psychiatric prison hospitals.

I reference this "ancient history" because as is all too painful history may not necessarily repeat itself but as is absolutely crystal clear by this disturbing story it often rhymes, as the saying goes.

When a transgender-identifying man flashed his prosthetic breasts on the White House lawn during the Biden administration’s penultimate Pride Month celebration, many thought we had seen the high water mark of the radical gender ideology that had captured the Democrat Party.
But internal documents unearthed by The Daily Wire reveal the shocking truth. In its waning days, the Biden administration was working behind the scenes to rip children from the homes of loving parents who refused to affirm a child’s transgender identity. Today, as a different president marks the first of June without any rainbow regalia, we’re proud to bring you the first in a four-part series exposing the Biden administration’s radical anti-family plot.
We begin with the story of Nicole, a loving mother whose refusal to indulge her daughter’s gender delusions put her at odds with her local school district, and later, the entire state of Oregon. The system that empowered the state to rip Nicole’s daughter from her home is precisely the kind of system the Biden administration was developing — and likely would have implemented had Vice President Kamala Harris defeated President Donald Trump. . .
. . . Nicole was shocked when the police turned up at her front door to take her 15-year-old daughter away.
In July 2024, the Oregon Department of Human Services took the teen — called Jane Doe in filings to protect her identity — into protective custody as they investigated whether Nicole was causing Jane a “mental injury,” a form of child abuse under Oregon state law.
The issue at hand? Nicole would not “affirm” Jane’s “gender identity.”
“I asked, ‘What if I don’t let her go’?” Nicole told The Daily Wire. “Then you can be arrested,” a police officer told her.

We're well on the road to psychiatric wards not for delusional transexuals, who need actual psychiatric help to cure them of their delusional psychoses, but for those who dare point this out and before long for anyone who is "crazy" enough to openly object to Democrats, Leftists and their agenda and before long this madness which before long will subsume us, as is the fate of Europe.

As Merrie England travels on its merrie way to becoming an Islamic state, there are inevitably a few bumps in the road, a few insignificant hiccups as the last bits of resistance are mopped up and everyone is made to understand that they have to accept their new overlords without complaint. One of these embarrassing manifestations of racism, “Islamophobia” and bigotry came just last week, when residents of the quaint town of Chadderton, which is about half an hour from Manchester and an hour from Liverpool, dared to suggest that the Islamic call to prayer might be a trifle too loud. Such effrontery was thwarted swiftly in Chadderton, and will not long be tolerated anywhere. . .
. . .The good people of Chadderton should have been out celebrating diversity, instead of huddling inside their homes muttering darkly about how they could barely hear themselves think over the din of the Call to Multiculturalism, that is, the Islamic Call to Prayer.
. . . And so that was that. The people of Chadderton better get used to it. It’s not going to get quieter, and things are not going to return to the way they were before the call to prayer began to be sounded over loudspeakers. Instead, what they remember of life in British society will grow ever more distant, as British society itself steadily erodes and gives way to the culture of the new Muslim overlords.
None of this had to happen, had it not been for craven, short-sighted, and self-serving British politicians who initiated the nation’s cultural and civilizational suicide in pursuit of electoral advantage. Both parties are guilty. The great criminals, the destroyers of Britain, range from Tony Blair to David Cameron to Theresa May and Keir Starmer. The same epitaph will be written of the United States as well, if leftists return to power in 2026 and 2028, reopen the borders, and roll back all of the Trump administration’s efforts to preserve our nation as a free society. If that happens, our slide toward becoming part of the socialist internationalist megastate will be as swift and decisive as Britain’s slide toward becoming a core member of the global caliphate.

Of course we have street terrorists attempting to overthrow the government by attacking ICE and other law enforcement officers

The New Jersey US Attorney’s Office charged Brendan John Geier, 26, with assaulting federal officers and causing bodily injury, for allegedly “kicking and biting” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers outside the Newark detention center, leaving them with “horrific wounds,” according to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Geier, of Madison, NJ, was previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography, the Justice Department confirmed to The Post.

Thankfully the Trump administration is cracking down on these terrorists, but it is long past time to cut off the sources of funding for this:

Jim “Fergie” Chambers, the Communist millionaire and heir to the Cox media fortune, has long bankrolled one of the nation’s most militant protest networks. But in recent weeks, he has turned his fire on a putative ally: Shanghai-based tech billionaire Neville Roy Singham, who himself funds a transnational web of far-left groups.
What’s going on? In a series of X posts, Chambers alleged that Singham’s network of nonprofits and activist groups has tried to redirect insurgent organizing into tightly controlled institutions linked to the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a U.S.-based revolutionary Communist party. Chambers sees Singham’s operation as “turn[ing] their back on direct actionists”—implying that Singham prefers exercising control over the movement to enabling the sort of serious radicalism Chambers endorses.

The threat to block the Strait of Hormuz has already caused oil prices to surge by over five percent.

In Iran, the “supreme leader” is the all-powerful dictator of the country, who maintains a delicate balance of power between the IRGC, a formal wing of the Iranian military, and the civilian leaders of the country. The president and the IRGC are both directly subordinate to the “supreme leader.” Under longtime dictator Ali Khamenei, the IRGC often intervened in civilian affairs, including hijacking the diplomacy of the country with the approval of the “supreme leader.”

40 The Debug program claims to operate on a principle of using beneficial insects to eliminate harmful ones. The initiative involves releasing male mosquitoes that carry a naturally occurring bacteria called Wolbachia, which renders them incapable of producing offspring with wild female mosquitoes. Since male mosquitoes cannot bite or spread disease, this biological intervention aims to reduce populations of disease-carrying mosquitoes over time.

And what of the creatures which eat mosquitoes? And the ones which eat those? And the ones which eat those? And so on. What are the downstream effects?

Stalin wasn't shy about throwing dissenters in mental hospitals, but he usually defaulted to shooting them or throwing them in Gulag.

Khrushchev was the one famous for weaponization of psychiatric care - he wanted to have his cake and eat it, too... so he made the formal break with Stalin's terror tactics and drastically curtailed internal exile to Gulag, but retained and expanded his mental "health" institutions as a way to remove undesirables.

Sailing Sweet Luca depicts the travels of a sailing couple from Michigan who quit shore life to buy and sail an live on a J45 bluewater racer. What makes this channel so good compared to all the other sailing tubes, is their smiles and their skill and teamwork. They are racing sailors, having won, I think twice, the Chicago Mac race, and watching them set and trim sails and describe the 24/7 running is fascinating. Right now I am watching them run by night through the small strait that puts you into the Magellan, and describe the strategy of sail trim, timing for tide and wind, to get through without encountering the monstrous waves that occur there. They are calm cool and collected, always smiling, wearing their heavy foul weather gear, bunking in doubled sleeping bags, and I think, OMG, imagine trying to do that in the 1500s in the Golden Hind, men up in the rigging.

I looked at the dispute between Singham and Chambers, and it is truly revealing. Chambers is an old school anarchist/chaos agent. Singham wants to make sure that the left is always kept under the strict, top down control of an empowered elite.

Now remember that Singham is an agent of, and 100% financed by, the Chinese Communist Party, and it all makes perfect sense. Also makes it obvious that Singham will easily win this internal dispute. If Chsmbers makes too much noise, one of Chairman Xi’s boys will do a Trotsky on him.

Skid Row is 50 blocks long. They're torturing dogs. They're spreading disease. They're mainlining drugs.

LA is an unmitigated shithole that will cost BILLIONS to clean up. They won't do it.

129 From VDH's opinion piece, "Iran's Endgames":

"One problem is the scarcity of accurate information. We have only rumors and spotty regime-fed reports of what is actually going on inside Iran, given there are neither American ground troops nor embedded Western reporters there."

I don't think the accurate information situation is as bad as he claims. His 'we' are people like him, and you and I, who don't have access to information that Mossad and the CIA have. From human sources inside Iran, communication intercepts, 24-hour road and rail traffic tracking data, and high-res satellite and drone imaging.

Does all of that info give Trump and the Pentagon an accurate picture of the regime's true situation? I don't know but I hope so.

148 The Physical Structure: What Was Actually There

The gallows were not a functional execution device. It was a scaled-down, structurally unserious prop — roughly 8 to 10 feet tall, built from what appeared to be common lumber (2×4s and plywood), hastily assembled with visible hardware-store brackets.

The noose hung from a crossbeam that would have snapped under any real weight. The platform, such as it was, lacked any trapdoor mechanism. No counterweights, no release system, no structural engineering of any kind.

Anyone who's spent time around actual construction knows the difference between something built to kill a man and something built for theater. This was theater.

Crucially, attached to the structure was a “THIS IS ART” sign — a detail that was systematically scrubbed from virtually all mainstream media coverage. The sign explicitly framed the gallows as a symbolic statement, not a functional threat.

155 The Jury Problem

During J6 trials, federal prosecutors introduced the gallows as evidence of intent and premeditation. They showed photographs. They played footage. They asked witnesses about the chanting.

What they did not do:

- Inform juries about the miniature scale and structural non-functionality
- Introduce the “THIS IS ART” sign into evidence or even acknowledge its existence
- Allow defense attorneys to contextualize the gallows as political street theater — the kind of symbolic prop that appears at protests across the political spectrum
- Permit meaningful cross-examination about whether anyone genuinely believed this structure could be used for an actual hanging

The mock gallows is a fascinating and little noted part of what went on that day - do you know that no one officially knows who built it or where it came from or who brought it? The next day (even though it was said to be a vital piece of evidence) it was immediately broken up and the fragments destroyed, so that it would forever be impossible to determine who built it or where it came from.

Very good reasons to believe it was constructed by FBI agents themselves, to be used as a prop in the planned operations that day.

Bryan was selling his father's massive LEGO Star Wars collection. How large? The store in Keizer OR had to get more shelves to house and showcase the consignment. The estimated price several years ago was $200K

Store owners wanted to sell the franchise. Instead corporate in Utah, in less than 16 hours, sent someone to kick them out and turn over the keys.
And it has gone downhill since then with accusations, charges of harassment and trespass, and Reckless Ben wining in small claims court against Bricks where the store literally shutdown instead of returning the LEGOs.

I disagree. Iran will exert whatever power it is able, disrupting neighboring countries, attacking oil production, and (certainly) stopping traffic on the Strait.

Trump started this for what he believed were necessary and good reasons, and now we are committed. Even if he temporarily backs off to let the midterms pass, he needs to go back in and finish off the IRGC.

Something to consider...

The President does not have the support of the rest of the government to fight Iran. The President does not have the support of the population to fight Iran.

Only a small minority of people actually wants to fight Iran. Another group, larger than the first but still small, is willing to fight Iran. Everyone else opposes it to varying degrees for one reason or another.

Y'all can bitch about Trump wanting a deal but the reason Iran is holding out is because they know they can because no one backs Trump but voices in the wilderness.

210 The Jury Problem

During J6 trials, federal prosecutors introduced the gallows as evidence of intent and premeditation. They showed photographs. They played footage. They asked witnesses about the chanting.

What they did not do:

- Inform juries about the miniature scale and structural non-functionality
- Introduce the “THIS IS ART” sign into evidence or even acknowledge its existence
- Allow defense attorneys to contextualize the gallows as political street theater — the kind of symbolic prop that appears at protests across the political spectrum
- Permit meaningful cross-examination about whether anyone genuinely believed this structure could be used for an actual hanging
Posted by: SMOD at June 02, 2026 08:35 AM (j8NMu)

1. Not the prosecutors job to introduce that stuff.
2. If the defense was barred from introducing it, that's on the judge.

The guilt of the prosecutors was in bringing a case which was bullshit in the first place.

248 I tend to think the administration has a Plan™ for Iran. If we were to demolish Iran's infrastructure we'd likely be expected to rebuild it. And we would. But it still wouldn't be "ours." No matter how you bend the logic.

Then, we'd have to station various entities there. An occupation of sorts. Nobody wants that.

Wresting control of the Persian Gulf from Iran/IRGC is the preferred solution, IMO. That is a better "deal" for the US in the long run. I personally think the argument is about that... how the US should wrest control from the IRGC... which isn't at all interested in giving it up.

We're in that stage of diplomacy were we're trying to figure out what the IRGC will take to give up control. Some think they never will relinquish control. Some do.

It's not a matter of "if" it's a matter of "when." And it might be by force in the end. But if you're going all kinetic on the IRGC you better get them all.

YMMV

Geier, of Madison, NJ, was previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography, the Justice Department confirmed to The Post.

341 They're releasing ticks that have that meat allergy embedded.

I did a little research on this and they identified the disease in 2000s and they can find cases going back to maybe the 80s.

So unanswered where the hell did the disease come from?

And why has it spread so much since the 2000s?

The ticks themselves have been around forever, and the disease is caused by their saliva. Is the argument this type of tick evolved this change to its saliva in the last 40 years on its own? If so what advantage does it give the ticks because apparently all of this type of tick has this type of saliva now...

348 Yeah, it is. Why can't the women of the world see how degrading and oppressive it is?

I saw some western women arguing Islam is freeing, because you don't have to worry about "the male gaze" under your hijab.

And...

1) It isn't optional under Islam. You can dress conservatively under Christianity if you want no one is making you dress scantily...it is all your choice

2) In less restrictive Muslim countries I notice women still put a lot of effort on dressing up in the way they are allowed - for example, yes they are in a hijab but have a well done face full of makeup...

349 Why can't the women of the world see how degrading and oppressive it is?

There are several possibilities...

1. They truly believe that it is the will of God. Which means, theoretically, that it isn't degrading and oppressive no matter how it seems to us.
2. They pretend to believe that it is the will of God because they'll be killed if they don't. Sucks to be them.
3. They're western women who don't think about it and only praise Islam because it isn't Christianity, which calls for a moral code which they don't like, or Judaism, which is full of Joos.

388 >>Islam and feminism are two extremes in views of femininity.

Think it is, as mentioned above, about rejecting Christianity. LARPing Islam on international hijab day=/=the legit daily oppression.

". . .because the Left expresses itself in terms of "freeing" people's sexuality, many people miss the fact that it is every bit as sexually controlling in its own way as Islam is. This control comes about because the Left works assiduously to decouple sex from a person's own sense of bodily privacy and, by extension, self-ownership. If a person has no sense of autonomy, that person is a ready-made cog for the statist machinery. "

He's a big coffee drinker but he doesn't drink alcohol because of gout . He's played golf and enjoyed it but is not a steady or semi steady player . He said that he liked the green color of the shirt.

413 Yes, I remember. And I propose a new American holiday: Fracture Day, on June 5th of every year.

On June 5th 2020, over a thousand public health experts published an open letter giving sanction for Black Lives Matter, a Marxist terrorist organization, to ignore COVID lockdown restrictions and riot in the streets, looting and burning down our cities, because "racism is a public-health issue".

This was Fracture Day. The day that the confidence of the American people in technocrats and experts irreparably broke. It was the day we realized that even the most supposedly disinterested of our institutions had been captured by overt enemies of our liberty and our civilization.

There was no going back from that moment. Afterwards, the words "trust the experts" became a grim joke.

Every year on Fracture Day, remember the truth. When "experts" and institutions seek to control and censor you, allegedly for your safety, you dare not assume that this is being done for your benefit.

For the sake of your civilization and your posterity, you must reject them. You must not obey. Resist them - if necessary, with the considered violence of our ancestors who fought the first American Revolution.

The DOJ had filed the motion on May 22 following the D.C. Court of Appeals’ vacatur of the Oath Keepers’ convictions and remand to Mehta for consideration of the anticipated motion to dismiss.

While the DC Court of Appeals promptly granted the DOJ motion to vacate the convictions and remand, Judge Mehta (an Obama appointee) is asserting that the government’s motion to dismiss is “insufficiently detailed” and lacking a sufficient “statement of reasons and underlying factual basis,” ordering the DOJ to provide him more information by June 5 on why dismissal with prejudice serves the public interest.

418 AI Overview -
Hamawy is a Lt. Colonel (U.S. Army, retired) and small business owner who famously saved the life of Sen. Tammy Duckworth in Iraq. He also completed a volunteer medical mission in Gaza in 2024. 😒

Of course, his "healthcare, not bombs" agenda centers on passing Medicare for All, ending U.S.-funded foreign conflicts, and redirecting taxpayer dollars from the military to domestic needs.

He's officially endorsed by the Justice Democrats, the Sunrise Movement, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Democratic socialist & Trenton entrepreneur Elijah Dixon dropped out to endorse Hamawy, aiming to consolidate the progressive vote.

Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts via the cunning plan of asking Instagram for them. (404 Media)

Well, that and using a VPN so that they appear to be in the right general geographical region, but mostly because Instagram support is used to dealing with dumbasses who keep forgetting their passwords.
Multiple laptop makers are preparing to launch models with Nvidia's new RTX Spark chip and eye-watering price tags. (The Verge)

Look at models with AMD's AI Max chips for a guideline, and add between 50% and 100% on top of that.
Wizards of the Coast are reportedly in the process of remaking the classic computer games Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. (WCCFTech)

Baldur's Gate 3, developed externally by Larian, was a massive hit, but Larian found Wizards of the Coast so toxic to work with that they want nothing to do with DLC or a sequel.
AMD's Radeon 9070 GRE is a thing that exists. (Tom's Hardware)

Actually it has existed as a China-only product for a year now and the only change was the global release, so there are already plenty of reviews of its technical capabilities. What's new is the price, and the price is awful.

At $400 it would be interesting. Below $400, compelling. It costs $550 - as much as the faster and readily available Radeon 9070.

There really are only two laptops worth considering, the Lenovo Legion 5 and MSI Vector HX.

The the vector has more raw horsepower, but it’s going to cost slightly more and it’s really a desktop shaped like a laptop in that it’s a big honking laptop that your not going to be taking anywhere and it’s going to have to be plugged in most of the time.

28 "Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts via the cunning plan of asking Instagram for them."

Not hacker, attacker.

And having just read the article, it's because Meta (Instagram) allowed their chatbot/AI the right to change users' account details (like their email address) so the attacker used that in order to claim they were the account owner and wanted their email address changed.

After the email address change is made, the attacker simply goes to the login page, and clicks on a "Forgot my password" link, and gets emailed the password-reset link, and continues with the process, creating a new password for the account.

This is going to become a security nightmare with service providers for a while, at least the stupid ones - which is a lot of them.

hm. I used to grow my hair long and it was so curly that when it was dry, it was down just past my shoulders and when it was wet, it was past the middle of my back. I like to say that I resembled an unfortunate cross breed of Billy Squier and Brian May.

But one day in Aikido, I was getting taken down and my hair was getting grabbed several times when the opponent grabbed my collar. So I walked into the local Vietnamese barber shop and said "Get rid of it." Relief might be a good word for it.

40 Evenin' and mornin', fellow early risers (and the late toiles too). 'Tis Tiu's Day again, innit?

I mentioned this yesterday. I finally got that mythical pension payout from Fidelity Investments, from a job I held '78-'87 and had forgotten about. It was last Nov. when they wrote to me, and there have been various and incompetent delays. Yesterday I at last got the check (which was pleasantly larger than I'd thought) . . . and they had taken taxes out under the impression it was a direct payment to me. This despite my written election for a direct rollover to my IRA. I called and yelled bloody murder, and they say they don't have the account name and number. I *know* I uploaded the correct form. Yet they sent me this without checking with me. And they told me more than once that they had to send me the direct rollover check for *me* to forward. Today? "Oh, no, we can send it to whatever account you select." (!!!!)

They swear they will fix it. I'm writing a stiff but polite letter to the CEO this week. And if you have accounts with Fidelity, I suggest you double-check them.

71 mornin yall. In local news, pine straw scammers are bilking people who buy pine straw. Be sure to have your pine straw inspected by a certified pine straw inspector to ensure that your pine straw meets the pine straw industry standards.

74 I have heard so e lamentations about the 250th celebration being muted in comparison to the Bicentennial.

This should have been a bigger celebration, but it's not. Why?

-Schools teach children to hate this country and the West, they teach racism and Marxism
-Millions of foreigners have been imported to colonize and oppress the native population
-One of the major parties has adopted international Marxism as it's political philosophy

79 Notsothoreau has been giving me some much-needed advice. She pointed out that the home inspection will list many things that *don't* need to be addressed right away -- for instance, if a window sticks -- and suggested that I ask you clever people if I have questions.

She also did her closing on her property remotely. More and more I'm thinking that might be a good idea, rather than spend the money, effort, and time to drive (or fly -- ugh!) to Terre Haute just for that.

I really liked what I saw of Kansas and its people, and wish I could have met her as well as you.

The Midwest really seems to be a great place to live. Never have I felt I belonged here in Da Swamp, not even as a kid. But the people I met in Kansas and Indiana seem to be *my* people.

It is tempting to assume that the physical beauty of America is dominated by its magnificent mountains and deserts and coasts. But a trip through the heartland reveals the quiet beauty of our rich agricultural tradition, and the subtle glories of American farmland and prairie. Or the gentle rolling hills of Texas or the steeper ones of New Hampshire. Or the endless forests of the mid-Atlantic. It's all wonderful!

Whistleblower claims CIA used DNA data from Ancestry and 23andMe customers in search for aliens

Jorjani claimed that he was alerted to this bug-hunting initiative by army veteran Lyn Buchanan, who claims he was a “psychic spy” with the CIA’s remote viewing program — which investigated whether individuals could use extrasensory perception to conduct recon on distant objects, events or people.
Jorjani. 3
“They live in like small towns in the [Colorado] Rockies, and they pass because they look like tall Scandinavian people,” remarked Jorjani (pictured). YouTube/@jessemichels
Jorjani said Buchanan had informed him that former CIA analyst and UAP specialist Christopher “Kit” Green had devised a backdoor way of accessing 23andMe and Ancestry — uber-popular sites that break down users’ family trees — to screen users for a specific “genetic variance” linked to nonhuman beings.
Green was notably part of the Remote Viewing Program in the 1970s, but left the intelligence agency long before the founding of the DNA detective sites.
Buchanan reportedly learned of this so-called campaign after being approached at a diner by three individuals claiming to be Nordics — tall, blue-eyed, blond visitors from beyond that are said to be living covertly among us.

The French Note

Glen took a dream vacation to Paris. He saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. He definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so he picked out the nicest restaurant he could afford. He was waiting for his table at the bar when the beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of him. It was in French, which he couldn’t read. When he was seated, he asked his waiter if he could tell him what it said. The waiter said, “Yes, of course, let me see it.” Upon reading it, the waiter had Glen forcibly removed from the restaurant.
Now Glen was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant, trying to figure out what just happened. A police officer came by and asked what he was doing. Glen explained “Well, I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant.”
“Hhmmmm…” said the police officer “You better let me see this note.” So Glen gave note to the police officer. Upon reading the note the officer put Glen under arrest.
Glen was brought before a magistrate, where he protested “Your honor, I have done nothing wrong, I don’t know why I’m here. See I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, he had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest.”
“Bring this note forward.” Ordered the judge. Glen gave the note to the judge. Upon reading the note the judge ordered Glen to be exiled from France.
Glen soon found himself on an airplane out of France back to America, which annoyed him as he still had several days left in his trip. A French businessman seated next Glen asked him, “So what’s your story?”
Glen took a deep breath and then said “It started when I came to take my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still don’t even know what it says.”
“That’s quite a tale.” Remarked the businessman. “Do you still have this note?” Glen did and he gave it to the businessman. Except, instead of telling Glen what it said, he paged a flight attendant over. The flight attendant read the note and then went to talk to the pilot. Upon reading the note, the pilot personally threw Glen out of the plane.
Now the pilot wasn’t completely heartless, he did give Glen a parachute first. Glen didn’t see that it mattered too much one way or the other, as they were over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. However, as it happened, a ship was passing by and Glen was able to land right on it. Naturally Glen was brought before the captain, who wanted to know how Glen came to be on his ship. Glen explained “My story starts with what I thought would be my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a beautiful bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still couldn’t believe it when the pilot of my plane found out what the note said he had me thrown out of the plane.”
“Wow. That must be some note.” exclaimed the captain. “You must let me read it, I speak French.”
“No,” replied Glen “I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to show it to anyone else.” Everyone was disappointed, but Glen was firm that no one would get to see this note. They found a bunk for Glen to stay in for the week-long trip to America. It was a cargo ship, and everyone else was working, so Glen thought that he ought to work as well even though no one asked him to. He helped prep food, serve and clean up in the mess hall. Everyone agreed that they were better off having Glen make the coffee. He was even offered a permanent position upon the ship.
Of course people kept pestering Glen to see this famous note, but he kept it a secret. Towards the end of the journey, as he felt that he had gotten to know everyone and bonded with them, he decided that it would be ok to show the captain the note.
Glen was immediately thrown overboard.
He was close enough at this point that he could swim ashore to his home state of New Jersey. After getting home and cleaning himself up, Glen called his girlfriend.
“Glen!” She cried “You weren’t on your return flight, I made so many phone calls, I had no idea what had happened, I thought you were dead!”
Glen took a deep breath and began explaining. “As you know I went off on what I thought would be my dream vacation to Paris. I saw the Eiffel Tower, toured the Louvre and took a boat ride down the Seine. I definitely wanted to have some haute French cuisine, so I picked out the nicest restaurant I could afford. I was waiting for my table at the bar when a rather unattractive bartender dropped a note in front of me. It was in French, which I can’t read. When I was seated, I asked my waiter if he could tell me what it said. The waiter said of course, but upon reading it, the waiter had me forcibly removed from the restaurant. Then I was sitting on the curb outside the restaurant when a police officer came by, and after I let him see the note he put me under arrest. I was subsequently brought before a judge, and when he saw the note, he ordered me to be exiled from France. And I still couldn’t believe it when the pilot of my plane found out what the note said he had me thrown out of the plane. I wouldn’t have survived except I had the luck to land on a passing ship. I didn’t want to show them the note, you understand, but for a week they badgered me to see it, and I still had no idea what it said, so I eventually let them see it. Inevitably once they saw it they threw me overboard. I still have the damn note--the paper is very good quality--and the mystery is killing me.”
Glen’s girlfriend had some doubts about this story, but instead of directly calling Glen out about it, she offered “My uncle speaks French, we could ask him what it says.”
So the two of them met and headed over to the uncle’s house. Glen told his story to the uncle--which we will omit here in the interest of time--and checked that there were no firearms in the house before handing over the note.
The uncle said, “I can translate this for you, just let me get my reading glasses.” The uncle put the note down on the coffee table and went to get his glasses. Just then a gust of wind came through and blew the note out the window, and it was never to be seen again.

The first step is to soak them in brine for a week, then rinse and soak in brine for two months, and then pickle them in a vinegar pickle for a couple of days.
You have the choice of keeping them in olive oil after that, or leave them in the pickle.

108 Hello, Horde! I posted this downstairs, but I am reposting it here:

In medical news, I had my CT Scan this morning, then saw the oncology surgeon this afternoon.

Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.

Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.

I will say that the doctor seemed QUITE pleased with my progress; I am not sure that when he first saw me 20 months ago that he thought that I would still be kickin' it all these months later. I have apparently responded EXTREMELY well to these protocols. Honestly, it's just luck of the draw - many others have been on these same meds and not had good results.

Those prayers are working, folks! We are extremely grateful for each and every one of them.

So good news all around! 😊♥️

133 That pointless story about the French note was already ancient when I heard it in high school in the 1950s. The oldest known version is an 1896 story "The Mysterious Card" by Cleveland Moffett which can be read e.g. at Project Gutenberg or Wikisource. (Moffett wrote a sequel, "The Mysterious Card Unveiled", which purports to explain it.) A later (1937) story with the same theme is "The Most Maddening Story in the World" by Ralph Straus, which can be read at Project Gutenberg Australia. I don't know if I can post links here but these stories are discussed and links provided at scifi.stackexchange.com in answer to question 95027, "Short Story: Man has a Letter he can't read and nobody will translate it for him".

135 Haven't thought of Lyle Lovett in forever as I did not like to look at him. Maybe his music is good as I won't know. I did remember his brief marriage to big mouth Julia Roberts, which grossed me out at the time.

Then I remembered Renee Zelweger and Kenny Chesney's even briefer marriage. I didn't listen to him, either, because I also didn't like looking at him. He may have some good music as well.

I have always wondered for a nanosecond per decade about these couples.

These are my thoughts for June 1st.

I am glad the Colorado aliens are blonde with blue eyes vs Somolian.

I almost feel normal again after family virus/trip/exhaustion and vast irritation that I missed most of May.

I remain irritated by the weird spring and my roses being as confused as I am about my world. I am unsure what this is going to mean for the rest of the year, but it's a sign.

That quote is a memorable moment from the classic sci-fi action film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981).
It happens during the scene where the refinery community's leader, Pappagallo, is trying to convince his people to make a dangerous break for the coast using the fuel tanker. A cynical member of the community named Big Rebecca shuts down his inspirational speech by telling him:
"Words, just words. You're going to die for a pipe-dream."
Immediately after she says it, the Warrior Woman speaks up to defend the plan, and Max (Mel Gibson) quietly starts prepping his shotgun, showing he's ready to drive the rig.

That's a big part of a lot of that lore. There's a bunch of different strains of that lore. But the classic Sitchin Anunnaki version has of course, the Anunnaki creating humans by genetic engineering. And they were a bunch of horn dogs (The "sons of God" and "daughters of men"). Also, the female Anunnaki dug the human Paolos big time, too.

And the Nordic/Tall-White (Pleiades/Lyra) females are basically some sci-fi horny nerd type of fantasy. Think Natasha Henstridge or Syndey Sweeny playing tall hot she-aliens.

I fell in love with young Mel and love that movie. Old Mel ain't so bad either, altho I don't like his beard (he didn't ask me).

He's still high on my list. By all accounts he's much fun with his female costars. I love a wicked man with blue eyes. Also my wicked blonde husband with green eyes.

Tonight he examined the remains of my cooking chicken with ligonberry sauce for his highness.I screwed up and did not saute the chicken breasts in the same pan as the veg. So I had to use two pans to brown the chicken and it left a breaded mess and I poured water in that to lessen the ordeal later of clean up.

At first he thought I'd had an episode and the 1" water was oil. He was very calm about it all, wondering briefly of disposal, and I had to laugh. I've been weird for weeks post near cholera but not THAT weird to brown chicken in an inch of oil.

"My mama didn't raise me to be makin no guesses in front of any yankee officers" (might be off a little)

"Shoot - feller could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all this"

Same movie and character as above:

"I been to two state fairs and a rodeo and I ain't never heard anything that crazy"

Same actor, different movie:

"Somebody go back and get us a s***load a dimes"

From the same movie frequently quoted here at AoS Hq:

Gary Oldman is my favorite actor. He has been in some crap movies. He's been in so-so movies. He's been in some fuckin' great movies. He was always magnetic. Sigh.

302 Don't recall the actors names or the real-life equivalents' names, but the senior British officers in The Great Escape and Bridge on the River Kwai were not the same actors (well, I remember Alec Guiness as that character).

Both movies depicted real events, to a point. Escape was much closer to the history, though still modified for movie purposes.

There was a bridge on the river Kwai in Thailand, but it wasn't like the one portrayed in the movie, IIRC. It was a low, partly steel bridge with cement piers. Thailand (I believe) actually renamed a stretch of a river Kwai to sort of match up the movie and real history. A fascinating true story involves one of the Japanese army overseers and a British officer captive. The Brit officer testified at the Japanese officer's post-war tribunal, to support clemency. Don't recall the details but it was one of those "where do we find such people?" events.

Gary Oldman was fantastic in a a small, largely forgotten film called "The Firm." If you're a big Oldman fan I think you'd enjoy it-- if you can find it. He made it before he got famous. Be warned, though: it's about soccer hooligans.

329 The most obscure movie I've seen was the Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob (1973). It had some funny parts.

Now the islamic peaceful religion would burn the theater down and jihad the entire cast and crew (I saw it on Amazon Prime).

The only B movies I did not see were on a few HS dates to drive in movie wrestling matches.

We saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at a drive in with my no longer best friend and her brother. The only movie I can recall from a drive in because no one was trying to maul me.

I still can't figure out why my first date stuck his tongue in my ear at a drive in when I was trying to eat popcorn and drink my Coke. I wanted to inform the poor boy that I clean my own ears, thanks. If it was magic to turn me on it backfired spectacularly.

I liked Melanie after she rose from the birthin' bed to help bury the dead Yankee bleeding in the foyer of Tara.

That's a true friend who helps bury the dead Yank with you after you try to steal her husband.

Scarlett was a good friend as well to help deliver Melanie's baby as the Yankees burned Atlanta and she gave Prissy a good slap (my favorite part as that is exactly how I feel sometimes with people).

I suppose I should go to bed now as I fell asleep after dinner watching Rocky 5 with my own Yankee.

*************************
I plan to leave a letter for my granddaughters (and another to grandson or grandsons). I might be in heaven by the time they arrive at this moment. However, their parents are raising them well and we did the best we could with our sons not to settle for less. To know their worth.

Son #1 had us worried as he dated many, many girls. Including, briefly, one trashy girl in HS who knew I did not like her. It was thankfully very brief and he was wiser in college. Had his heart broken by a witch. Did things we did not approve of, etc. Found a lovely girl 12yrs younger who is incredibly sweet to marry.

Son #2 married his HS sweetheart and they gave us our 3 grands. She's lovely as well. So I have hope for the next generation of our loves.

I think I would mostly say to a girl that they won't feel the same for this guy in later years unless it is a very rare thing and he is not just trying to get into her pants.

I was popular enough in HS without leaving a trail of misery and weirdness.

Google's Debug is targeting - Aedes aegypti - carries dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Some mosquitoes carry West Nile virus, malaria, and lymphatic filariasis, killing more humans than any other creature worldwide.

Fair enough. If you are a programmer and your program does bad things you are responsible. No matter how much you claim 'computer error'. Heard that shit since '80s and it is still bullshit.

If you make a product and it causes injury it's on you. We can blame lawyers for all the warnings on a ladder, but yes you have to tell people "this is not a step", especially if you make it look just like the step-steps.

I got away as soon as I could and made sure she would never have a grandchild to hurt. That is a sad, fucked up story

No, but it will happen eventually. The baby mom hasn't had the baby at the condo overnight in over two months. She gives him to her dad and stepmom. My son is angry as hell, kicked her out, and is now working toward finding a way to have him full time, but he can't if he is going to work and making peanuts. So, looks like both the boy and grandboy will be coming to my house to live, and I will be raising the grandboy, which the boy goes to work.

Not the worst scenario, but we need to convince the baby mom that she isn't being the mother, she just wants to think she is. Probably won't be that hard, since she really just wants to party alla time.

10 Re Herding:

While in Ireland and bumming around with our Priest in the backcountry, we came upon numerous herds of sheep.

He'd stand there and whistle dog herding directions to the sheep and would drive them right, left, towards us, etc. even without a dog present. I honestly didn't think the sheep were that smart.

51 I was never fond of Clint's Every Which Way But Loose films. They seemed kind of underbrained -- which was probably the audience they were aimed at.

On the other hand I liked Bronco Billy with its hopeful message that you can be whatever you want to be. Joe Kidd, written by Elmore Leonard, seems much like a paperback Leonard Western; which is to say, good. And Unforgiven is superb, both for his performance as Munny and for his direction.

56 In medical news, I had my CT Scan this morning, then saw the oncology surgeon this afternoon.

Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.

Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.

I will say that the doctor seemed QUITE pleased with my progress; I am not sure that when he first saw me 20 months ago that he thought that I would still be kickin' it all these months later. I have apparently responded EXTREMELY well to these protocols. Honestly, it's just luck of the draw - many others have been on these same meds and not had good results.

Those prayers are working, folks! We are extremely grateful for each and every one of them.

So good news all around! 😊♥️

64 >>>e. Joe Kidd, written by Elmore Leonard, seems much like a paperback Leonard Western; which is to say, good

so disappointing. I got a little excited because the plot of that movie is driven by the New Mexico land controversy, which I had studied a little. but a boring movie.

(The Mexicans had granted nearly all of New Mexico to a few well-connected businessmen called "impressarios." This grant seemed to be illegal under Mexican law, and anyway, US settlers didn't want to honor it anyway. For years and years the question of who actually owned this land, the settlers (many who'd bought it from prior owners) or these Mexican impressarios (and the people they'd sold it to) raged. I think this controversy was a background political question in the Billy the Kidd "Regulator" feuds, too.

Ultimate resolution: The Mexican impressarios owned the land (or the people they'd sold it to) and anyone who'd bought it from anyone else was screwed.)

I grew up on Clint's westerns and the Dirty Harry movies but the ones I think I enjoy rewatching the most is Heartbreak Ridge, In the Line of Fire, Space Cowboys and Absolute Power. I was a young adult when i watched those as opposed to the earlier movies I watch as a kid with my Dad. The newer ones just felt more like mine; not sure if I'm saying it well. Loved Pale Rider and Unforgiven as well.

82 One of my favorite lines in any movie ever is uttered 'In the Line of Fire'.

Booth the assassin talks about a poem that JFK supposedly liked called 'A rendezvous with death'

During a phone conversion, Clint East as Frank Horrigan gets very angry with Booth's taunting and yells 'You have a rendezvous with my a**, motherf*cker.'

I habitually quote movies in real life instead of actual conversation and I have never been able to find a good context to use that line, especially in our current age of everything is g*y as f*ck.

I saw Roger and Ebert ding it for having a let-down of a third act. They said they weren't sure what the plan was at that point.

I guess there could have been more in the movie showing Eastwood mapping out the escape route and maybe a little more excitement.

In the cool thing we won't be able to see dept, another astronomical event on June 17. The waxing crescent Moon will occult Venus, and it will be in the sky for all the continental US. Unfortunately it will be broad daylight. Only the eastern tip of Brazil will be able to see it much in darker conditions:

Lunar occultations of Venus happen somewhere on the globe about a couple times per year. Half of those are in daylight. And it works out that a visible such event will happen at a given location about once in 31 years on average.

We were too tired at the end of each day to post anything from our New York trip! Sorry about that....

Suffice it to say that all 3 of us gals have WONDERFUL memories - I would even like to maybe go back there and spend more time in the Metropolitan Museum. We also had to ditch a couple of planned items, as we just ran out of time!

But there are other adventures that Paul wants to be a part of - the grandsons will be out of daycare/preschool for a week in August, so I am hoping that we can escape the Texas heat and see some sights then.

Posted by: ace at June 01, 2026 09:04 PM (1wjle)

Heartbreak Ridge is a mixed bag, in my opinion. Eastwood was Eastwood, and the majority of the cast was good. It was the official movie of the Marines in Grenada. But...Mario van Peebles. Holy shit he sucks.

Small wonder he faded into Bolivian.

Although I guess Heartbreak Ridge could be considered a post war, war movie.

115 The death of Spock in the "The Wrath of Khan" is an almost exact copy of the death of the blind poet Rhysling in Heinlein's "The Green Hills of Earth".

Tommy Lee Jones death at the end of "Space Cowboys" is an almost exact copy of the death of an old sick man - D. D. Harriman - in Heinlein's "The Man Who Sold the Moon".

I called my fellow Heinlein fan brother-in-law and asked if he had seen "Wrath of Khan". He yelled back "They stole it! Green Hills of Earth!"

He called me years later, and asked if I had seen "Space Cowboys" yet.

I yelled back "D. D. Harriman! They stole the ending!"

The two Harper movies are really quite good - I wish Newman would have done a few more.

James Garner in Marlowe (1969) seems to be mostly forgotten, but I think it's a good movie - and it has Rita Moreno perform one of the best strip club nudie dance scenes ever put to film. Even my wife, when we were watching it, had to say "wow, she's good!"

185 >>>179 Oh, Spider Noir is still good. Four or five episodes in (after the first resolution.) The black and white is very well done. It was meant to be seen in black and white.

Yes I'm going to review it. I loved the first four episodes, which do a great job of recreating a genuine hard-boiled mystery noir. The later eps turn more to sci-fi superhero stuff and while it's still good, I wish it had just stayed noir.

Unfortunately I, and many many others, cannot watch in Black and White. The choice does not appear on our screens. I guess I can try watching on another tv where the choice does appear, but that one's smaller and not as good.

Video Released of Cops Chatting Amiably with Sikh Murderer as the Victim Henry Nowak Bleeds to Death on the Ground

One cop asks the killer, "Anyone injured besides 'im?" with disdain. Meaning, they knew damn well he was stabbed, and didn't care if he died or not.

Because he was a Racist. The nice Sikh person who stabbed him to death said so, and we must never, ever question the word of a brown person.

And you can hear how the police dismissed them and failed to take action to try to save his life.

WARNING: Incredibly distressing footage.
The bodycam footage has finally been released of Henry Nowak's last moments.

He was the victim, but treated like a criminal.
"I can't breathe" he says, over and over again.
Instead of helping him the police arrest him on false charges of racism.
Harrowing.
It's hard to escape the conclusion he was treated differently because he was white.

Listen to him scream in pain as they cuff him. Who cares what pain a Racist experiences after a justifiable stabbing by a minority properly punishing him for his Racism?

These cops are all still on the payroll. No offer of compensation has been made to Nowak's family for the murder they were co-conspirators in.

Caution on the videos below: You will see agents of the state callously, almost gleefully, killing a man.

And not a single American media outlet is covering it.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Police just released the bodycam footage in the killing of 18-year-old white male Henry Nowak and it CONFIRMS the police LAUGHED HIM OFF when he said he got stabbed
Straight-up says: "I've been stabbed."
COP: "Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate!"
NOWAK: "*Groaning* I CAN'T BREATHE."
COP: "Put your hand in the cuff."
Nowak says he can't breathe again.
Then again while they just stand there.
"We have to check [if he was stabbed], don't we?"
THESE COPS ARE COMPLICIT IN THE MURDER!!
THERE SHOULD BE WORLDWIDE OUTRAGE.

I'm not kidding -- the cops murdered him. And not just by slow-rolling his medical care. By putting him in a position where it was mechanically impossible for his lungs -- which were filling with blood -- to breathe, they murdered him.

Weird how when a white man says "I cannot breathe" he's completely ignored.

Even when there's a good reason for the inability to breathe -- six stab wounds plus being cuffed into a position that would make breathing even harder.

He has mentioned Henry Nowak;s name only once.
Why is the standard different for a crime against a White man?

Here's Starmer grieving for George Floyd.

Who didn't even die in the British Isles.

Update: A former senior police officer in the UK makes excuses, claiming he's being "objective" while the rest of us are acting "emotionally."

The interviewer points out the first thing they victim said is "I've been stabbed" and that the position he's in won't allow him to breathe.

But the cops' -- and the governments' -- lie is that they didn't know he was stabbed because the Sikh Digwa lied to them.

Depending on where he was stabbed, and I still don't know exactly where, cuffing him with his hands behind his back could make him bleed out more, and no doubt inhibited his breathing.

At one point a cop says "I think he's going to be sick" as if his problem was that he was drunk, not stabbed.

51 Affirmative action was built on the single, grotesque lie:

That the only difference between minorities and Whites was due to racism.

And it was sold, they would prove it, by merely giving minorities an equal chance.

And then a hand up.
And then extra help.
And then a whole official and unofficial code of extra help.
To the point of ignoring and denying any and all failures of minorities.

And when all that--inevitably and predictably--also failed, there is only one thing left to do:
Drag down and punish Whites.
Even to the point of killing them.

Because of a lie.
A single, grotesque lie.
A lie that has metastasized for decades to rot the whole body politic.
To the point of killing innocents to keep an ugly lie alive.

Policy:
It is better that 10,000 white Britons are raped or killed than a single cop suffer a moment of guilt over accusations of racism.

61 Following the case, temporary Deputy Chief Constable Robert France has apologised on behalf of the officers but said they were “lied to” and would have been unaware of Mr Nowak’s injury, which he said would not have been obvious.

“This is an absolutely tragic case and my sympathies are absolutely with Henry’s family, his friends and his loved ones.

I want to apologise, I want to say that I am sorry that Henry couldn’t be saved that night. I’m sorry that he was handcuffed and arrested in the moments before he lost consciousness.

It’s quite clear that officers didn’t understand what had happened immediately, and that is some of the context I would ask people to understand.

There had been a delay from those who chose eventually to call them.

There were lies, lies from Henry’s killer in that 999 phone call, further lies from his killer as officers arrived on scene.

Despite Henry telling officers he had been stabbed, it took them some minutes to realise what had really happened.

But within three minutes of that engagement with Henry, they were giving him first aid. They had taken the handcuffs off and they were giving them first aid.”

When the Fergusen riots occurred, I distinctly remember hearing "In Fergusen, of all places". The reporter was in disbelief.

After I heard that, I looked into it. Fergusen had previously been considered a quite well integrated community.

But when criminals can allege that some black criminals can be gunned down for "just being black", the whole "integration" shreds like kleenex.

111 Sky News - Police apologise for arresting dying teen after killer's 'wicked' racism lie - as man found guilty of ceremonial knife murder
Henry Nowak, 18, suffered a stab wound to his chest and two to the back of his legs after getting into a row with Vickrum Digwa. When police arrived officers handcuffed the teenager after his killer accused him of launching a racist attack. Published May 28

In part, Vickrum Digwa was convicted of murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak by stabbing him to death with a Sikh kirpan ceremonial knife with an eight-inch (21cm) blade.

The 23-year-old told police he was the victim of a racist attack after he knifed the finance student five times in Southampton on 3 December 2025.

He also did not tell officers he had stabbed the first-year student with the Sikh kirpan, as officers arrested and handcuffed Mr Nowak.

113 Further commentary from Dep. France:

“We referred ourselves immediately to the Independent Office of Police Conduct the following day and they’ve been independently investigating ever since.

We are absolutely committed to acting on their findings.

It’s clear to me the circumstances were complex. For example, Henry’s significant wound, the wound that was fatal, was deep and internal.

The pathologist was clear in court that it would have been hard to find. The bleeding was inside Henry’s body.

Sadly, there was nothing the officers could have done that night to save him.

We should always listen to someone who is telling us they are injured. Of course, we will look at this and see what we can incorporate into our training, particularly first aid training, in order to improve, and we want to improve every day, the response of our officers.

That is an absolute tragedy and, of course, if there’s anything we can learn from it, we will.

These are private matters for the family and for others. What I’d say is we are absolutely open to any challenge or scrutiny that must come.

Mr. France did not confirm whether the force had received any notice of litigation in relation to the case.

The system attracts exactly the wrong kinds of people you want with badges, guns and qualified immunity, and with DEI they're scraping further and further into the bottom of the barrel.

Well, it's all relative. For India, up near the muzzies, they are great. Their culture is much much better than the muzzie culture, but they are still tribal. Very very tribal. Killing a white is not a problem for them. This is a very big problem.

The West does not understand tribalism. We had better learn, and become tribal back at them damn quick.

hmmm, I think "we" must be some sort of "tribalists". MAGA tribalists perhaps. And that may also mean Christian tribalists. No, we don't force people to join our religion, but we can prefer "our own". Our constitution perhaps defines "our tribe". But that too, may be inadequate.

Inside our nation, the constitution perhaps is not enough to "define us". We can still "prefer our own", though many laws seem to be "racist" against the White Christian man. All other tribes are free to conspire together, but not the White Christian Man. Tannies Unite, Blacks Unite, Muslims Unite ... White Christians ..

Another Migrant Who Can't Speak a Word of English Plows His Vehicle Into Americans, Killing a Family of Four, Another Woman, and Leaving Forty Injured
Plus: The Adulterous Nazi Communist Is Also a Cokehead

He's a naturalized American citizen -- but he can't speak a word of English.

Gee, I wonder during which "president's" administration this murderous and illiterate migrant was permitted to become "an American"?

Any guesses?

I would guess Biden but I don't actually know that yet. The media doesn't seem too interested in asking questions about this killer.

As the cars slowed, came to a halt, and started creeping along again among the cones and flashing lights, doing that dreaded stop-and-go we're all so familiar with, a full-sized passenger bus carrying travelers on a trip from New York to North Carolina plowed into the line of cars at full speed.

Kathy Hochul's NY state gave this fraudulent migrant a CDL.

Here's the family he annihilated. All four burned to death in the wreckage after he fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into one car, killing the woman inside, and turned her car into a projectile that then smashed into this family:

💔🚨 Look at the photograph one more time before you read this. The seven-year-old in the blazer. The thirteen-year-old in her school uniform. They were killed six hours after their mother finished baking for a wedding.

BREAKING: The US Department of Transportation confirms to @FoxNews
that they have issued a subpoena to the state of NY after they allege the state has refused to cooperate with their investigation into Jing Shen Dong, the bus driver who allegedly caused a crash that killed five people in Stafford County, VA on Friday morning. DOT says Dong is a naturalized US citizen who was born in China, doesn't speak English, and received his commercial driver's license (CDL) from the state of New York.
DOT says the subpoena is a result of not being able to "obtain the requested documents through other reasonable means."
DOT is demanding that New York turn over records on Dong's CDL, his entry level driving training, and the driving school he attended. DOT says those documents must be turned over by Wednesday at 10AM ET, or face consequences/penalties.

On to the cokehead communist.

Graham "Pussy Hustler" Platner, the Nazi aroused by shit, claims he's an "oyster farmer" and a "harbor master."

Well, the oyster farmer "job" is a scam -- his friend owns the plot where the oysters are farmed and all oysters are sold to a single client, his wife's mother. This is obviously a fake-job created by the family so he doesn't have to admit he's a welfare bum whose job is "Pussy Hustling" on reddit all day.

He also claims to be a "harbor master," a "job" that pays a nominal salary $2,000 per year and is very much a part-time clerical job "managing" the "couple of boat launches" in the town.

The town council questioned whether such a job was even required to exist, but they decided they should give professional layabout and always-online internet Edgelord Graham Totenkopf Platner the gig.

Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, as proof of his "working class" bona fides, saying on his campaign website that he "serves the town of Sullivan as Harbormaster" and claiming during a February podcast interview that he's "been the harbormaster for the last two years." He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign--and it was largely a "clerical" one, according to local records and people familiar with the position.
Platner's predecessor as Sullivan harbormaster resigned in February 2022, the records show, and the town got by without one for more than a year. By April 2023, town officials began discussing whether there was a "need for Harbor Master (HM)," according to meeting minutes from Sullivan's Harbor Committee. The committee noted that it was "not clear that a full time HM is needed" because "operations in the Harbors are handled by those who use the Harbors without dispute." Platner then "offered to be identified as HM if required by law," though the committee said that it was "not clear that one is required" and that the role's "largest challenges are clerical" and "can be handled by the Harbor Committee."
About six months later, in September 2023, the town agreed to hire Platner as "an interim Harbor Master until one could be hired," records show. The local newsletter, the Town Crier, first listed Platner as "Harbor Master: Interim" in December 2023. At a March 2024 town meeting, Platner "announced that he is officially a qualified Harbor Master"--a designation that comes with the completion of a basic training course--and subsequent editions of the Town Crier dropped the "Interim" from Platner's title. Platner served in the role until the summer of 2025, when he launched his candidacy, according to Sullivan town manager Ray Weintraub, who told the Washington Free Beacon that the role generally consisted of collecting rent fees for the town's moorings and ensuring they were "allocated properly."
"We don't really have any working waterfront, so to speak, other than a couple of boat launches," he explained.
Platner's inflated description of his harbormaster tenure marks the latest instance of the left-wing Senate candidate and self-described "working class Mainer" misrepresenting his background.

Being working class requires 1, not being born into privilege and going to private school and 2, working.

The Reddit-addicted Pussy Hustler also says he bought coke while on active duty "on the government's dime" and has, of course, "no regrets."

'No Regrets': Graham Platner Admitted to Buying Cocaine, Boasted About Doing Drugs During Military Leave While 'on the Government Dime'

The Marine Corps has a zero-tolerance policy for illegal drug use, and Marines in violation can face prosecution in military court

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner discussed buying cocaine in now-deleted Reddit posts and admitted to drug use and "partying it up" while backpacking during paid military leave.
Platner, in posts from 2020, recalled his travels through Europe just before leaving the Marine Corps in 2008.
"I was making a pretty penny doing just about nothing. Went backpacking through Europe on the government dime, walked the Camino de Santiago, did some drugs and had a blast partying it up in hostels across the continent," wrote Platner, who posted on Reddit under the handle P-Hustle.
Platner "highly" recommended the drug-fueled experience to other Reddit users.
"No regrets," he wrote in February 2020.
Platner, who is running to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins, discussed buying cocaine in another post from around the same time. Platner responded to someone who asked about a Coast Guard seizure of 12,000 pounds of cocaine valued at $312 million.
"Street value," Platner wrote in July 2020. "I always wonder what street you're buying your cocaine on, because it's not the street I'm buying my cocaine on."

Do the anti-Nazi, anti-Toxic-Masculinity hysterics of the Democrat Party realize they're about to nominate Andrew Tate as their senate nominee in Maine?

Some are worried about the optics of nominating Andrew Tate as Maine senate candidate.

.@AlexThomp says Democrats are internally concerned over their pick of Graham Platner in Maine:

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 1, 2026

Platner's "team" also "pulled out" of an appearance on MSNOW because they were afraid the communist/shitlib channel would be too tough on the tough-guy.

"Graham Platner was supposed to come on the show...His team pulled out," Daniels said on Sunday's show. "They came to us and wanted to come on. They pulled out. I think we saw why yesterday as these stories came out."

Pussy Hustler, pulling out? Say it ain't so, Pussy Hustler!

Janet Mills just reminded everyone that her campaign is merely "suspended" and that she's still on the ballot.

29 An officer administers a naturalization test to determine whether an alien meets the English and civics requirements.[1] The naturalization test consists of two components:

English language proficiency, which is determined by the alien’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English; and
Knowledge of U.S. history and government, which is determined by a civics test.

There are exceptions for some people over 55 (who've had a green card for more than 15 years), and for a "medical disability exemption".

I don't think that the guy is over 55, so it would be interesting to know what "medical disability exemption" he got to exempt him from the English language requirement.

The disability would have to be bad enough to disqualify him from a license anyway (Legally blind? Narcolepsy? Retarded?). But so would being unable to speak or read English.

I suspect, if this story doesn't vanish, that we will discover that was no actual disability or other excuse, but that he got citizenship anyway. And that the key government officials involved were paid off, and probably not born here.

Yup, with the only two exceptions being age (elderly can take it with an interpreter) or medical condition. It's a multiple choice test, and there had been rumors that the staff purposefully overlooks individuals who pull out their phone and have someone else taking the test that way.

103 > bonhomme, do they get away with no insurance too?

Sometimes the shell only owns the trucks. Sometimes they're chameleon companies. One shuts down, it re-opens under a new name. Then they present the new name to insurance companies. Sometimes they have self-insured retentions.

If the company disappears, it might be hard to locate the dissolved company. Sometimes the insurance company will use the fact that the trucking company is fraudulent to deny coverage. Sometimes the company will operate under lapsed policy. Sometimes the company is self insured. If the company disappears with all of its assets, good luck collecting against that.

146 Back when someone in the Federal guvment decided the national drinking age should be 21, but they had no authority to do it, extorted the States by denying DOT highway funding from any state that did not raise the age to 21. I think North Dakota was the last hold out having only like 5 miles of interstate...

Strictly speaking, the age to consume alcohol is at best tangentially related to driving or using federal transportation system, but they did.

That said,

Federal DOT should withhold all funding from States (NYFS) for all transportation systems, maybe including FAA*, if they do not provide the records that were politely requested.
Shut NY Fing State down.

163 They're certainly supercharging my local PA government & schools.

Look at the formula in PA for determining poverty, free meals, etc. vs. alleged school funding formulas.

In 2 or 3 years, an area with about 10% poverty and then 30+% school age kids "in need" for food security, to more than 53% percent allegedly in need, including housing, and upwards of 30+% in the special needs categories. (Computing it is crap. If their parent or guardian used WIC, CHIP, EBT they're automatically in. Go live with a grandparent in 55+ housing, all in. And the pattern of abuse goes forward.)

All the while teachers are making more than $100,000 on average for salary, not including benefits, and a great deal of the teaching is still by handheld tablets and at least one day at home on zoom for the kids.

That's just a tad below Philly's demographics for poverty and need, and way, way more for special education funding.

"Doctor" Jill Biden Sticks to Her Lie That She "Never, Ever" Saw Biden Showing Signs of Cognitive Decline "Before or Since" the Debate

This is why she took her husband, who she had never seen behave in such a confused, mentally-compromised manner and whose comportment was so "frightening" she feared he "must have been having a stroke," immediately put him on stage and praised him, "You answered every question!"

Jill Biden: "Well, Craig, look at it from my point of view. So, I'm watching, just like everybody else was, scared to death, like, what is going on. He gets off the stage, I see, he appears to be okay. He says to me, Jill, I really, in other words, messed up, didn't I? And I said, yes, you did. And so, we get off -- and I know we're going into another event, or we have two more to do. And my mind is racing. What do I say to him? What do I say to him? I'm his wife. I've got to lift him up. So, we go to the next event, and I'm thinking saying, what do I say that will lift him up that is true? I want to say things that are true. So, I said, you answered every question. My mind was racing."
Melvin: "That's a pretty low bar."
Biden: "Well -- so, I had to sort of lift him up. I'm his wife. I'm not going to get out on the stage there and say, Joe, you really screwed that up. I mean -- and we have all of our supporters, you know, so that's who we are. I had to support him. I couldn't come out and -- I mean, really, publicly, say, Joe, you did a terrible job in a debate?"

She pretends to not understand the question, and this NBC "reporter" allows her to pretend. The question isn't why she said "You answered every question."

The question is why, if he had "never, ever" shown this mental deficiency before and you were so "frightened" and "scared to death" to see these never-before-seen symptoms before that you thought "he must have been having a stroke" did you put him on the stage at all?

Why didn't you rush him to the hospital? Why didn't you at least keep him at home under a doctor's care, allowing him to rest and recover after these never-before-seen symptoms that appeared to be a stroke?

Stages are elevated platforms, and Biden is old. If he's experiencing never-before-seem symptoms, you do not have him climb stairs and stand on a platform seven feet above the ground.

We've seen Biden battle stairs before. The stairs won and not by a little.

Ever have a concussion? You know what you don't do hours after a concussion? Go out dancing and drinking.

This is transparently a lie. She wasn't worried, she wasn't "scared to death" or "frightened" -- she had seen this behavior every single day of the past five (or ten!) years of her rancid slut gold-digging life. She treated it like it was business as usual because it was business as usual.

This is so tedious. I know you all know this. You know this, I know this, even Jake the Fake Tapper knows this.

But they're leftists, so they keep on lying and keep putting us in the tedious position of having to explain over and over how we know for a fact that they're lying, but they keep lying anyway, until we give up from sheer exhaustion and say, "Whatever, have it your way, who can say what 'is' is, anyway?"

NBC's @CraigMelvin: "In the days and weeks after [the 2024 debate], you continued to insist that the President was fine. How do you square thinking that he may have had a stroke with what you were saying in the days and weeks after? How do you square those?"

I saw someone say that "Doctor" Jill "winced" or something when it was brought up that George Clooney said he saw the same mental vacuity a year earlier at a fundraiser. (That Big Damn Hero never said anything until the dementia became too notorious to cover up.)

I don't think I see her "wincing." Maybe a subtle microexpression.

.@craigmelvin presses Jill Biden on her claim that debate night was a one-off.

He notes that Robert Hur and George Clooney said they saw debate Biden.

Update: Great call-back linking two of today's stories -- You know who 60 Minutes' point-man was on pushing the Biden Lie that his frequent losses of coherency were just due to the sudden return of a never-before-reported "childhood stutter"?

Soon-to-be-on-substack Scott Pelley.

Here's Scott Pelley before his 60 Minutes interview with Biden in late 2023 letting everyone know that Biden's stutter can return when he's been working too hard.

5 It would be so easy to just lie and say the dementia just kind of came out of nowhere and every body would just swallow that whole and never talk about it again, but the Bidens just can't seem to help themselves. Jill Biden has to be redeemed. Instead we get reminded she really was the puppet master in all of this.

I'm sure Trump loves it when the Bidens insert themselves into a news cycle and reminds everyone of what the alternative was.

6 In other medical news, just got back from seeing the oncology surgeon:

Everything looks good/stable - no new tumors, and the ones that are there have pretty much stayed the same or shrunk ever so slightly (so much so that it could just be user interpretation). No metastises seen, so that is good, too.

Apparently I CAN stay on this protocol more than 6 months at a time, so we are going to continue to do fills with the medication, alternating with "placebo" fills every other 2 weeks as before.

So good news all around! 😊♥️

46 Carried over from the last thread:

>>> What you want is rule 10 which gives 3 guides to accepting cert.

(a) a United States court of appeals has entered a decision in conflict with the decision of another United States court of appeals on the same important matter; has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with a decision by a state court of last resort; or has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or sanctioned such a departure by a lower court, as to call for an exercise of this Court's supervisory power;

(b) a state court of last resort has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with the decision of another state court of last resort or of a United States court of appeals;

(c) a state court or a United States court of appeals has decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by this Court, or has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court.

C enables the court to decide trannies in the army case.

The report concluded that a jury would likely view Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," making it difficult to convince jurors he willfully committed a crime.

Biden sure fought like hell to keep those tapes out of the public domain. I wonder why. And, there is no caveat on abuse of Confidential records suggesting that "intent" has anything to do with it.

It really is - doc had a huge smile on his face while we were talking. Compared to where I was when I first started seeing him, I sort of get the feeling he wasn't expecting me to have lasted this long (and to still be doing so well).

But I guess oncologists -and other doctors - are trained to be as optimistic as possible when talking with patients. At least until all possible options have been run out.

He apparently has another patient who received his pump around the same time as I did, who is doing about as well as I am.

So, we will continue doing what we have been doing and wait until my next scan (usually every 3-4 months, unless symptoms change).

Thanks for all of the prayers, everyone! 😊♥️🥳

150 I still wonder why Joe's first wife Neilia was "going Christmas tree shopping" without him on Dec. 18th, 1972. (13-month-old Naomi died in the accident with her, while Beau and Hunter were injured.) He'd just been elected U.S. Senator, so the rigors of the campaign were over. He wasn't a Christmas tree lot attendant or mall Santa or anything; why wasn't he with them, and why was she so distracted (distraught?) that she didn't see the physical truck that she pulled out in front of?

It wasn't a metaphysical truck, or an ethereal truck, or a Schrodinger's truck blinking in and out of alternate realities; it was there for the seeing, if she looked. You get where I'm going with this?

What made me wonder was Joe's insistence on lying about the truck driver, lying that he "drank his lunch," even continuing to lie after losing a lawsuit over the lie. Some people just love lying, and you could be forgiven for assuming that a used-car salesman's son might be one of them, but it seems pretty motivated to me.

As in, she may have been running away from him, and with good reason, and that's why she was distracted and not fully paying attention. We'll never know, but it would explain things.

Clinton and Obama Judges Combine to Overrule the Military's Judgment about Good Military Order, Insist That No One Can Reject Transgenders In the Military for Any Proper Logical Reasons

It can only be arbitrary and "based upon animus." There are no conceivable reasons why people with a history of mental illness and a dependency on constant medical interventions and mind-affecting artificial hormones would not make for good recruits.

None. Not a one.

Divided appeals court rules Trump administration's ban on transgender military service is unconstitutional

Washington -- A divided federal appeals court ruled Monday that the Trump administration's policy banning transgender individuals from serving in the military is likely unconstitutional.
A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit split 2-1 in finding that the ban rolled out by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth last year was driven by animus toward transgender people.
Judges Judith Rogers and Robert Wilkins agreed that the Trump administration's policy targeting transgender service members likely violated the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection.
The two judges agreed to leave in place a preliminary injunction that prevented the Defense Department from removing transgender troops who are in the military. That order is narrow and only covers the active-duty plaintiffs in the case.
"The government's stated reason for issuing the Hegseth Policy as based solely upon gender dysphoria was pretextual, and that instead, the Hegseth Policy was premised, at least in part, on a non-legitimate state interest to harm the politically unpopular group of transgender persons," Wilkins wrote in an opinion, adding that President Trump "declared transgender people as categorically unfit for military service explicitly because of their gender identity."

In other words, we don't have to examine the reasons offered for the policy, because we know they're lies, and once you exclude the reasons offered -- which we know are lies -- there are no reasons left, and hence it's "arbitrary." Oh, and the lies are motivated by "animus."

Therefore, we pencilnecked DEI hires are in charge of the armed forces now. Ooooh-rah, bitches!

Wilkins and Judge Justin Walker, meanwhile, allowed the administration to enforce restrictions on transgender plaintiffs who sought to join the military but were prevented under the new policy from doing so.
Walker, who authored a dissenting opinion, was nominated to the federal bench by Mr. Trump in 2020. Wilkins was appointed to the D.C. Circuit by President Barack Obama, and Rogers was tapped for the appeals court by President Bill Clinton.
Mr. Trump signed an executive order in the opening days of his second term that targeted active-duty and prospective service members with gender dysphoria. The president's directive said that the military's "high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity and integrity" are inconsistent with the "medical, surgical and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria."
...
"This is not a case where we are left to speculate why the government drafted such broad, undifferentiated classifications," Wilkins said. "Unless we are going to fall for the old Groucho Marx line -- 'who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?' -- we have direct evidence in this case that animus motivated the classifications in the Hegseth Policy."

The Obama and Clinton judges just pretend that being on a lifelong diet of hormones and surgeries won't disrupt readiness or result in so-called "military personnel" calling out sick for duty.

Note, however, that the policy isn't completely undone. Both the Clinton and Obama judge agree that the military may refuse to recruit transgenders going forward.

The Clinton judge would only permit the transgenders who sued to remain in the military. I assume that this is the actual holding, because it's what both the Clinton and Obama judges agree on. (The Obama judge would extend this to all transgenders currently serving.)

Josh Gerstein
@joshgerstein
46m
NEW: DC Cir. panel splinters on Trump ban on trans people in military. Wilkins (Obama) controls, protecting existing members but not future ones. Rogers (Clinton) would uphold injunction on policy but only for suers. Walker (Trump) would let policy stand.

Update:

Mark Hemingway
@Heminator
This is insane. You can't serve if you have a nut allergy, but taking large amounts of mood altering exogenous cross-sex hormones around heavy weaponry is OK?

That's an arbitrary claim based on animus, bub. Watch it.

So close to Pride Month, too!

BREAKING: US Appeals court has ruled 2-1 in favor of STRIKING DOWN Trump's ban on transgender military servicemembers.

Sooner or later, SCOTUS is going to have to rule that the Administrative Procedures Act is not a catch-all for getting around the relevant statutes, jurisdiction requirements and rules to manufacture a federal case before a friendly judge.

The concurrence of Thomas last week shows he, at least, is getting real tired of the lower courts just making shit up.

What would be hilarious is, when they over-rule this, to remand it to the DC circuit, with an order that the circuit enter an opinion consistent with their ruling and that it be specifically signed by all judges of the circuit.

“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.”

You can't join if you have diabetes, or any of a number of medical needs that require regular medication, as they can't be guaranteed in remote, austere environments. You think they're going to make special runs to deliver HRT to remote outposts in Afghanistan?

And let's not even start on all the mental illness risks of having unstable people in stressful environments with weapons. We already screen out a huge number of young recruits for mental issues (they're unstable AND we can't guarantee their medication in deployed environments)...how do they think trans people, who are mentally ill by definition, will adjust?

The ruling is SLIGHTLY correct, in a way, in that screening of new recruits is stricter than requirements for current members. A medical condition someone develops while serving may be allowed, that would disqualify an applicant, but I don't think being trans is of the same level to waive away.

To overcome the enormous burden required to overturn a military decision made on the rational basis test, the court has to find animus so that ip so facto, the agency acted without rationality.

Good news and bad news. The good: After almost six months, I finally received that pension payout from the 1970s-80s job, and a few days earlier than I expected. And there was more money to it, as well.

Bad: They thought somehow it was a direct payment to me, and took out state and Fed taxes!!! This despite my telling them in writing it was to be a direct rollover. They swear on the phone they have the election form, but not the page indicating the recipient, my IRA. So the incompetents cut me a check despite my rollover choice -- and without calling or informing me they had a conflict.

I yelled bloody murder, and they swear (again) they will fix this.

(b) a state court of last resort has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with the decision of another state court of last resort or of a United States court of appeals;

(c) a state court or a United States court of appeals has decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by this Court, or has decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court.

It's not "constitutional" because you are not equally protecting people's access to equal treatment.

It's how they bootstrapped "equal treatment" into Cons for fag marriage.

The idea that you should have unlimited expansion of the restraint from judgment to more and more categories is the very opposite of cagey or wise. And yet that is how they have taken the very realistic restraint of legally discriminating on the basis of race or ethnicity, to the disastrous restraint of discriminating sex, to the even more disastrous and loony-toons restraint of discriminating in the public worth of sex couplings.

Nope. You are confusing due process with equal protection. Due process is an individual right, Equal Protection is a group aka collective right to be treated the same as others in the same group. Where it gets confusing, due to Scotus bumfuckery, is that they created a fundamental freedoms application of due process to the equal protection clause which is how they came up with substantive due process used in Roe. So the idea is that troons as a class are denied protection that other non-troons get to do. And that denial is because they have a fundamental freedom protected by the due process clause to be a troon and thus join the military.

That is the garbage result of Lawrence v. Texas being overruled when Scotus said sodomy was a fundamental freedom. That led to Windsor destroying DOMA, and then Obergefell, gay marriage.

Well, the military acts like they don't like fatties, and were that a recognized demographic--unlike people who just feel they should have different junk--it cold be construed as "animus" toward fatties.

It's easy to illustrate the non-uniform expansion of this principle so that "groups" recognized by the court get protected in ways that "groups" the court is unconcerned about do not.

But, here's the kicker, they just don't care. They aren't animated about those arguably equal "exclusions". They just don't care whether principles can be mathematically applied, but they'll pretend they're mathematic applications all the same, thank you.

mob violence doesn't lead to civil wars. When NY City had its draft riots they shipped up a few pissed off Union regiments and mopped it up quickly in a few days.

251 And for the dubious Warren Court decision creating this whole line of jurisprudence, see Bolling v. Sharpe which brought in the equal protection clause in a reverse incorporation so that the federal courts could outlaw segregation in DC. Equal protection specifically mentions states, not the federal government as being limited.

The fundamental freedoms line begins in Slaughterhouse and Cruikshank, both of which need to be dumped anyway as bad law.

The real historical protection for marriage, etc. comes from the privileges and immunities clause--so important that it is in the Articles of Confederation, the new Constitution itself, the Bill of Rights (see the 9th amendment), and the 14th Amendment.

Due process always meant at the Framing as the court's legal process. Not all the bullshit dragged into it like fundamental freedoms by lazy ass justices on Scotus.

George Washington did just that when the Senate misbehaved with him on a treaty approval. So he set the precedent that presidents cannot be subpoened to appear before Congress, they can do so willingly but not be compelled by Courts or Congress. That action also set up the doctrine of executive privilege.

Never meant to be mathematical. Equal protection clause starts with a reasonable premise--people are and should be equal under the law. But it became a way to import privilege on the basis of skin, sex, etc. as it is used today. Legislation has to be done primarily dealing with classes--taxpayers, non taxpayers for example. It is not treating non tax payers unfairly if they cannot get a tax refund where they paid nothing in for example. But, if I treat them differently using irrational criteria--only redheads pay taxes, all others do not, then one could argue based on nonsensical actions that the government is acting irrationally.

Or in the Louisiana case involving coffins, Lousiana banned anyone other than morticians licensed by the state from selling coffins. Monks sued the state of Louisiana and won because the rationale by the state was that it was to prevent groundwater infiltration-which is reasonable. But Louisiana required water proof vaults for all coffins anyway which meant that the coffin regulation became rent seeking rather than a rational reason.

60 Minutes' Smelly Leftist Scott Pelley Knows He's About to be Fired, So He Stages a Tantrum-Flounce to Make It Seem Like He Was Fired in Retalliation for #FightingThePower

Nick Bilton, an investigative journalist working for magazines and newspapers, was appointed producer for 60 Minutes, replacing an old liberal.

Scott Pelley knows he's next so he's picking up on the Leftist Guild's attack on Bilton for not having experience in television reporting.

In other words, he doesn't know enough about male make-up as Scott Pelley.

Dylan Byers
@DylanByers

NEW: In @NickBilton's first all-hands meeting at 60 Minutes this morning, @ScottPelley told Nick he had "scant qualifications' for the job and pressed him to account for last week's firings.
Nick suggested conversation would be better held in private, Scott countered that he'd prefer to have them in front of his colleagues.
Nick told Scott, "they're my colleagues too," to which Scott replied: "that remains to be seen."

That podcast isn't going to promote itself.

19 Melvin is at least trying to do his job -

Sitting down with the Today Show's Craig Melvin on Monday, Biden described her husband as doing 'OK.'

'I think if he had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, that's one thing because that can be cured,' she explained. 'But the fact that it metastasized to his bones, that makes it a whole different story.'

'And so I think Joe will live with cancer till the rest of his life,' she added.

The former First Lady's interview with Melvin got heated at times, as she continued to claim that the former President's addled 2024 debate performance was a one-off.

Melvin pointed to Special Counsel Robert Hur's assessment of Biden being a 'sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'

He also brought up George Clooney's assertion that the Biden he saw at a June Hollywood fundraiser was the same man that Americans saw on the Atlanta debate stage.

Dr Biden visibly winced when Melvin mentioned Clooney's name.

@mattvanswol
It has been revealed that the woman who was st*bbed 18-20 TIMES on the Atlanta train, 66-yr-old Margaret Swan...

...DID NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP AT ALL FROM FELLOW TRAIN PASSENGERS WHILE SHE BLED OUT ON THE FLOOR OF THE TRAIN

“She was screaming for help and nobody was helping her...”

Margaret was a mother of 3, grandmother of 5 and great-grandmother of 4.

According to CCTV footage reviewed by police, John Elijah Matthews, a homeless Black man, walked up to the Margaret and slit her throat within seconds.

Margaret screamed and tried to escape, but the suspect held her down and st*bbed her another 18 times before leaving her dead on the ground in a large pool of her own blood.

Fellow passengers on the train did nothing to try and help her as she screamed.

Of course she doesn't "love this place" for what it IS, dummy. What you've settled on it's being for decades is precisely what she was brought in to counter.

So, you can get stories right for a change, or not shill for a fiat-nominated Democrat presidential candidate, like you paid for in court.

Just like the coach who is brought in to right a sinking ship team doesn't "love the place" they were brought in to.

Maybe you "love it" because it lets you get away with pulling shit. That's not something for a reformer to "love".

This is true, but it's nice to have jobs that the trigger-pullers can do to rest and recover from deployment or can do after they can't pull the trigger anymore.

If those jobs are taken up by people unable to be "trigger-pullers", then there's nothing left for the actually useful soldiers.

114 > Englishman deals with out-of-town idiots

England has this weird set of circumstances that leads to things like this.

They have old laws that let strangers walk around on just about anybody's land. The countryside is full of tiny streets with walls on both sides. There's nowhere to park next to the road, so it's very common for people to pull into any farmer's field that has an open gate and park there. It's common for people to camp in some farmer's field.

So yeah, it's a dick move to park in someone's field. But it's not like here where there are roads with wide enough shoulders where you can just pull off the road and park on the shoulder, so lots of people do this.

Scotus is likely to overrule that decision. Simply because the military is not required to keep people that are not deployable for medical reasons. Neutral policy applicable regardless of the mentally ill troon types. Same as drug abusers, amputees, diabetics, etc.

They can but are not required to do so. And ADA does not help because for example, if someone cannot meet the objective physical requirements for the job, then ADA no longer applies.

BUT what has actually made the net so much worse is the massive amount of people monetizing via search algos and THOSE are the people who are really getting hosed by AI

Data centers are about location, location, location. If you have really good internet connectivity and available power, the site will always be worthwhile to keep running, even if the current AI companies go away. And uninhabitable pollution isn't going to happen. It's not like chip fabs, which *do* use a lot of really nasty chemicals in addition to water and power, yet are mysteriously not controversial.

Posted by: Ian S.

Civilian courts can review military policy for unlawfulness just like any other bureaucracy--except, a lot of what the military does is exempt by statute or has special statutory provisions.

Then there is the constitutional issue (separation of powers) plus past Scotus precedents (and lower courts) that require federal courts to defer to the elected branches or commander in chief specifically as to the running of the services.

Congress could, under McCardle case precedent (and obiter dicta in Marbury), remove jurisdiction of such military powers cases from the courts but have not done so since McCardle.

McCardle itself approved a congressional act that removed federal court's ability to hear habeas pleas in federal courts from military governor detention decision in the occupied South post Civil War.

There's more internet companies now than there were during the bubble. Trust me, server capacity will never be worthless, and sites with good connectivity especially so. That's why before AI all of the data centers were built near DC. Basically DC and NYC have the best Internet connectivity on the planet, but nobody trusts NYC governance or Con Edison enough to put server farms in NYC (although there was a significant presence of them in WTC when 9/11 happened).

The article complains "The women I interviewed for a research project and book expected men to ask for, plan, and pay for dates; initiate sex; confirm the exclusivity of a relationship; and propose marriage," writes Ellen Lamont. "Almost none of my interviewees saw these dating practices as a threat to their feminist credentials or to their desire for egalitarian marriages. But they were wrong."

And the funny thing is reading the comments it is mostly angry feminists arguing all of the following:

1) Of course its true and has it should be its harder to be a woman
2) Of course this is misogynistic no woman wants that
3) What about the pay gap...what about that huh?!?

I think the bust is coming quicker for AI than more slowly. Basically, large general AI models are getting less and less bang per buck for frontier models that require big iron and the acquisition of new training data is not keeping up with the growth of AI models. Each frontier model by the bigs is simply retraining the latest model using the same data plus any more acquisitions since the last frontier model. The growth in data is not sustainable nor is the scaling of big iron to compute them. May not be this year but perhaps next year or so.

Reminds me of previous hypes--first was the Web 1.0 where all sorts of online stores were created but without the logistics needed. Then there was the crazed buildout of fiber, much of which remained dark until recently--that destroyed Lucent for example. Then it was web 2.0/social media.

The main advantage in tech at least is that it leaves some useful hardware/software behind.

264 9-11 was really the beginning of moving server infrastructure outside of NYC to backup sites. It’s when places like the NYSE fully moved to a site out of NYC. Then Democrats started proposing taxes largely based on trades that went across the trading infrastructure. They then figured out that type of tax scheme could be applied to other types of computing. That’s when the companies started moving permanently to “backup” sites and completely out of the city. They’re never coming back.

Which is the whole point of the exercise. Small scale is resilient to failure--one refinery blows up, we have other to take the slack until it is fixed. Put that at one or two sources, if one fails, society is f*cked. Whole reason Nasim Taleb wrote about Black Swans. Big size and centralization almost always is not resilient to unforeseen failures. Smaller scale is whether we are talking about government, the three big investment firms of Vanguard, State Street, and Blackrock, the three networks for TV, etc. etc.

I have come to the conclusion using the totality of circumstances that he was in on the Russia Russia coup. He is the one that claimed Flynn lied to him and started that piece of shit investigation, he hired virulent anti Trumper/Democrats like Olivia Troye, several NSC staffers that created problems, and his office was a center for leaks to the media during Trump I's term.

He received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in the first large-scale helicopter air assault in history. In Vietnam Nov 1965 he volunteered to fly an unarmed UH-1 Huey into the heart of combat and drop supplies and evacuate wounded troops in the Ia Drang Valley. He and Capt. Ed Freeman spent 14 hours saving and resupplying soldiers, and rescued 70 men who would have probably died otherwise. His story is chronicled in the book and movie “We Were Soldiers”.

As I said earlier, Pence won't even come clean about why he lied to Trump about Flynn.

And he didn't just lie to Trump with a "he was talking to Russians."
No, he had to do a double-lie--lying to Trump that the allegations were true but also refusing to tell Trump exactly what Flynn did or said.

And to this day, Mr. "Christian" Pence continues to lie about that.

Yep. Classic example of overinvestment for fear of being left out. Meta blew a bunch of bucks on virtual worlds that fell flat and I'd imagine something similar is going to happen soon with the different firms--Open AI and Anthropic are more at risk because they don't have the existing streams of revenue that Microsoft or Google can throw into it. They have to borrow whether via IPO or from partners like Nvidia.

One will probably live, perhaps Anthropic if their executives don't shoot themselves in the foot over dealings with fedgov. The other will be bought cheap by one of its 'partners'. Both are racing to an IPO which will probably mark peak AI (machine learning really) market value.

An Illegal Alien Previously Deported Three Times was Blocked from a New Deportation by California's Sanctuary Law.
Now He's Murdered Two Women -- and an Infant Baby

I don't know if Gavin Newsom is the big threat that Democrats are hoping he is.

A deranged illegal migrant, deported from the U.S. three times, is accused in the triple murder of an infant and two other women after California's controversial state sanctuary law obstructed federal authorities who sought to deport him, The California Post has learned.
Joaquin Escoto, 28 a Mexican national born in Jalisco, was deported from the U.S. three times and arrested for driving under the influence once before he was arrested again in June for another DUI, a senior law enforcement official told The Post.
On the day of Escoto's DUI arrest in June, which occurred in San Joaquin County, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials requested to be notified of the Modesto resident's release from jail so they could deport him again, according to the official.
But San Joaquin law enforcement officials hogtied by California's contested sanctuary law -- which limits how state and local law enforcement communicates with federal law enforcement -- failed to notify the feds, and Escoto was set free, the official said.

"Safe to say, California law prohibited the jail from complying," said the official, who shared police documents that substantiated his claims with The Post.
Now, less than one year after that request from ICE agents was ignored, Escoto is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the grisly knife slaying in Modesto of an infant and two women, including one with whom he allegedly had a child, according to police.
"Gavin Newsom has the blood of these women and this innocent little baby on his hands. Xavier Becerra is no better and Tom Steyer is even worse," candidate for governor Steve Hilton told The Post.
"These Democrats lecture us about "their values" and how "compassionate" they are while their sick sanctuary extremism sets monsters like this free to murder and terrorize our communities," Hilton said, "Enough is enough: this insanity must end, and it will on Day One when I am governor," he added.
Newsom has long championed the state's sanctuary laws, though he has opposed legislation that would further expand them.

Bonus: On TikTok -- "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster.

22 The interesting thing about the illegal alien crime wave is the Dems have done this intentionally, but it is coming back to haunt them.

More crimes means citizens are more likely to give up their freedom in the name of safety. So the Dem idea was promise safety and do...nothing when they were in control. Then every election demand more censorship, more people arrested for saying things the government does like and so on - yes this is the pattern in Britain.

But here Trump ran on a really simple idea - send the illegals home. You don't need Levithan to give the illusion of safety if you are actually safe.

25 BTW illegal re-entry after deportation is a felony, not a civil matter like "first" illegal entry usually is.

This is, literally, what millions and millions of "educated" idiotic suburban prosperous Americans support. But they're far too stupid, as citizens, to understand or care.

It thought "climate change" was the best/ultimate obvious litmus test for how (effectively) dumb, submissive, and pathetic much of America's worst citizens were.

37 They want this so badly, so:

1) Close all PoEs in CA. You cannot drive into TJ but you want to drive or walk back across? Too bad. Go to a PoE bordering AZ, NM or TX. Wanna fly to CA from another country? Not without clearing CBP in another state you don’t.

2). Pull all CBP from CA and redistribute them to where they are needed.

Unrealistic? I don’t think so. Because CA thinks it is bigger than the feds and believes it sets immigration policy. Fuck them. Time to show them they are still part of the United States.

47 BTW illegal re-entry after deportation is a felony, not a civil matter like "first" illegal entry usually is.

This is, literally, what millions and millions of "educated" idiotic suburban prosperous Americans support. But they're far too stupid, as citizens, to understand or care.

It thought "climate change" was the best/ultimate obvious litmus test for how (effectively) dumb, submissive, and pathetic much of America's worst citizens were. But the mass illegal migration catstrophe clearly is better. COVID was sort of making the rubble bounce, as it came well into the civic culture collapse.

55 ace, another spectacular example of civic collapse (though redundant) is fresh, a federal court ruled banning trans mental cases from military service is, get this, "unconstitutional".

Best part is that the court found "animus" in the policy. This idiocy has been around for how long? It featured in many of the most ridiculous lawless rulings from "courts" going back to Trump 1.

So not only are judges lawmakers and policy analysts, they're also mind-readers. Like a jury, they assess intent in government policies. Beyond absurd. They're glorified clerks with neither the formal nor substantive competence to rule on anything related to policy beyond whether it's lawful.

I believe the SEALs avoided the Idiocy Crisis during the vegetable administration by doing nothing - just continuing to follow their normal process. BUDS attrits most of those trying to get in. Dunno if any trans mental cases even attempted, but I think I know someone who could tell me. In any case, by lying low/silent and just carrying on as usual, they avoided the demeaning and dangerous spectacle that stained the rest of the military.

I normally don't respond to these, but I'll make an exception for this.

American men barely ever murder infants and children. There is a sufficiently virulent & widespread social opprobrium toward this behavior that it's exceedingly rare, it shocks the conscience when it happens, it tends to move the needle for law enforcement agencies who rare give a fuck about their mission, and perpetrators are routinely murdered by *other criminals.*

Our Precious Foreigners don't seem nearly as restrained by this taboo, though.

98 Cow Demon a whole range of "reciprocity" hammers should be brought down on *all* "sanctuary" jurisdictions, not just CA. (narrator: Trump closed the local PoEs for about a day back during the first term, Mexico freaked out and said "how high do we jump?", and things regularized instantly .... but I'd bet $5 Trump would never try your tactic because it would have a negative economic impact, and it seems he still isn't serious on that enormous and little discussed part of mass illegal migration - recall his comments at the Iowa rally about protecting agriculture and hospitality sectors, met, amusingly, by dead silence from a RALLY crowd of all things).

Mullings mused openly about one option, ending CBP operations at int'l airports in "sanctuary" jurisdictions. No way the administration would do that, far too disruptive, the clueless delicate and stupid American public would go apeshit (including 95% of "MAGA" types).

Last year DOJ sent a letter to 400+ jurisdictions warning of legal action including criminal prosecution under 8USC1324 (the sort of thing Homan talked big about during the campaign, against the Denver mayor). Haven't seen/heard a trace of anything related to that.

Ditto for every single instance where the feds have the discretion to slow-walk or ignore CA needs. Everything.

No chance for idiots like Thune or Lankford to f**k things up on the Senate floor. No votes, no new laws.

The administration says 3 million illegals have left in the first year of Trump's second term.

And the ratchet is tightening against all classes of visitors.

And there's almost nothing a Democrat House in 2027 could do about it.

We could be looking at more leaving in Trump's second term than came in in Biden's.

And, another data point:

Median time in country of those being deported has exploded from a few weeks to over three years.

"Hollywood Reporter- Veteran CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley accused the network’s editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to kill the venerable newsmagazine Monday.

Pelley, the former anchor of the CBS Evening News, made the comments in a fiery staff meeting with the show’s new executive producer Nick Bilton.

In the meeting, Bilton said that Weiss loves 60 Minutes, which is the most-watched news program in America, to which Pelley responded, “She’s murdering 60 Minutes. She does not love this place, she was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.”"

I think it's important to remind people that immigration enforcement is continuing and even expanding even if the topic has fallen off the front page for the past few months.

People seem to assume that immigration enforcement stopped because of the deaths of Goode and Pretti.

There was a brief slowdown as there was a change in strategy and some localities stopped cooperating with DHS, but it has rebounded strong. More deportation flights, more arrests, more immigration judges rubber stamping deportation orders, more rules restricting immigration activity in the economy as a whole.

These things are happening, and people are leaving all while the border is closed and green card issuances are at historic lows, asylum claims are now just South Africans and like 2 others (2 other people...that's it), and work visas are down double digits.

The number 1 issue of 2024 is being addressed.

Mutiny at 60 Minutes - from the CA Post:

Nick Bilton — a 49-year-old tech journalist who was named the new boss of “60 Minutes” in a major reshuffle — abruptly ended a meeting with the storied news magazine’s staffers following a heated exchange with correspondent Scott Pelley, sources told The Post.

In a Monday morning meet-and-greet that went wrong, Pelley took aim at CBS News Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, claiming she was “murdering ’60 Minutes,'” and that she “was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that,” according to a source briefed on the meeting.

“She has no qualifications for her job,” Pelley said of Weiss, according to the source. “The changes that she’s made at the ‘Evening News’ have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”

Pelley also demanded that Bilton and Weiss’ deputy Charles Forelle, who was also at the meeting, explain last week’s firings of the show’s top producers including Tanya Simon, as well as reporters Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega.

Who said this would be done quickly?

We're at literally 60 years of every administration opening the doors, crescendoing with Biden's open doors policy.

This is the most aggressive and largest deportation effort in American history. It easily dwarfs Operation Wetback by this point.

And it will go on for at least 3 more years. If the GOP wins 2028, it's 4 more years after that.

What is America going to be after 8 solid years of aggressive deportations?

It's the emotional paralysis of letting "conservatives win"--even if they are right on something.

If you dig hard enough you can find enough references to crises like that "only encouraging the right", and since the "right" are closer to "Nazis", encouraging the "right" is like giving a foothold to the Nazis.

They get angry at conservatives for being at the right place before they are, so they can't claim the moral ground.

Plus, they hate you. There is a deep part of them that resents you for disagreeing with them in politics.

Once Trump brought Stephen Miller onto his team, the first was only ever going to be rhetorical.

There's conflict of strategy between Miller and Homan, but Miller is ultimately the one strategizing for all of the federal government's approach to immigration.

The prediction market trade is busted. Now that people are trusting these markets instead of polls for their political information, it's now profitable for campaigns to try and game the system (and make some bucks) by moving the market themselves. I haven't looked into this for a while, but I bet it doesn't take a lot of money to move this market. Much easier than paying for a poll to do the same work.

Sure, but people have been using Polymarket like a poll. If a Democrat astroturf group wanted to, I don't think they'd have any trouble making a lot of small to medium sized bets to swing the market. Then newspapers report the Polymarket state and people think, "Wow, Karen Bass is inevitable!" This sort of thing tends to energize the base and deflate the opposition.

278 To continue, marriage was treated as a fundamental right by previous Supreme Courts aka Loving v. Virginia (biracial marriages, etc.).

So the argument was that states nor the federal government (see the earlier Windsor decision), could bar people of the same sex from marriage because it was a fundamental right under due process clause protected by the equal protection clause because of sex/gender.

Plaintiffs use animus in rational basis test cases normally because otherwise they would lose the case. So they have to allege some irrationality (bigotry, racial animus, etc.) on the behalf of decision makers which addresses the plaintiff's requirement to show the policy was irrational in an objective sense, not just subjective.

Prior to Lawrence v. Texas, the earlier Bowers decision held that sodomy could be held unlawful by states because the state's action has some rational reason. Lawrence overturned that by treating sex acts between people as protected constitutional rights (they could not successfully allege bigotry in the case because the Texas sodomy law applied to straights as well IIRC). Then Lawrence was used to overturn DOMA in Windsor case which led to Obergefell.

279 Now do my CCW in any other state.
Posted by: Washington Nearsider

That is the problem with substantive due process which numerous conservative judges and legal theorists noted in the past. It allows the courts to pick and choose which rights are 'fundamental'. So far, most of them are either trivial or allow deviant sex, suicide, etc.

Not protecting the rights that the upper ruling class of this country disfavor.

If states must accept CDLs from some illegal or legal that does not speak English issued by New York State as valid, then they should be required to accept CCW licenses from out of state.

Notably, in Slaughterhouse, the courts ruled that the Equal Protection clause does not protect occupations as a fundamental freedom (obiter dicta had travel as an example). The later Cruikshank relied on Slaughterhouse to claim that for firearm possession as well. Both are still good law.

That is the problem with not only the Supreme Court but lower courts acting as a continuing Constitutional convention without the requisite popular approval from the people's selected delegates.

More: The Nazi Communist Stimulated by Poop Posted Lewd Photos on an App Used by Minors to Arrange Hook-Ups
The App Is Called a "Predator's Paradise" For Allowing Hook-Ups with Minors, and Platner Had An Active Account Until This Past Weekend

Boy I am really a full 48 hours behind this story, as I'm sure many of you tried to tell me in the comments.

Embattled Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner finally addressed the infidelity scandal roiling his campaign after putting his wife forward to answer for him in a solo video that critics likened to a hostage film.
Platner, 41, and his wife, Amy Gertner, spoke briefly to News Center Maine Sunday after a campaign appearance in Portland, dismissing as "gossip" allegations that the horny oyster farmer exchanged sexually explicit messages with as many as a dozen women since the couple tied the knot in 2023.
...
"Amy and I have a very loving and very happy marriage. They would very much like to try to rip that apart," he claimed before rehashing his stump speech about closing hospitals, low pay for teachers and nurses and Mainers' paychecks not going as far as they used to.
"But of course, the powers that be do not want us to talk about that, and so they're just going to do gossip instead," Platner concluded.

Oh I get it, I'm the bad guy. I'm the one who violated the sancticty of your sham welfare-moocher marriage.

...
Gertner flagged to campaign staffers that her husband had been chatting up other women, including through private messaging app Kik, where it was revealed the Maine Senate hopeful's profile photo featured him wearing only a towel.
Platner's profile image on Kik was a bathroom mirror selfie featuring him wearing only a towel.
...
In a bizarre twist to the story, Gertner was the one who tipped off campaign staffers about her husband's activities.

All of his screen names are variations of P-Hustle or P-Hustler, which of course stands for "Pussy Hustler."

Or, maybe, given his eroticization of the shit-house, it means Poop Hustler.

Ladies, don't respond to DMs from someone calling himself Pussy Hustler. Or Mish Hunter, or Cooze Shooter, or Slam Scammer, or really anything other than a normal name.

People are saying online that the app he used to send his dicpics is 60% used by young people, 13-24. I don't know if that really means much because Yutes use most hook-up apps, but he's a dirtbag and I bet this teeny-tiny trace of thin smoke might lead back to actual fire.

I mean, the app is called a "predator's paradise" due to the ease with which child predators can find victims.

And Platner still has an active account on it!

Platner still has active account on anonymous app dubbed 'predator's paradise' amid cheating scandal

Platner's campaign says he deleted the app long ago, but Fox News Digital reviewed an active profile with a sexually suggestive image
...

Senate candidate Graham Platner has not deactivated his account on a private messaging app associated with casual sex and anonymous encounters -- despite facing mounting questions over infidelity and the platform's ties to sexual exploitation.
Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee in Maine's 2026 Senate race, has an active profile on Kik, an anonymous chatting platform notorious for lax identification methods that have enabled the proliferation of child sexual abuse material.
The profile, reviewed by Fox News Digital, contains a sexually suggestive picture of Platner showing the candidate's naked torso with a towel draped around his waist. It is unclear when the image was taken, but Platner created the account in 2016.
Platner's presence on Kik was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which reported that he sent sexually explicit messages to multiple women while married to his wife Amy Gertner, who wedded Platner in 2023. According to the outlet, Platner's wife first discovered the adulterous messages in the spring of 2025 and later divulged them to a since-departed campaign official.

Multiple child safety groups have criticized Kik due to its anonymous structure and public group chats that allow strangers to contact each other with little effort.
Users only need an email address to create an account, and there is no enforceable age-verification mechanism.
Roughly 70% of the platform's users are estimated to be between 13 and 24 years old, according to multiple industry reports.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation designated Kik as a "predator's paradise" in 2023 for being rampant with "predatory behavior and child sexual exploitation."
The watchdog also placed the platform on its "Dirty Dozen" list for facilitating and profiting from sexual exploitation.
In 2024, Kik was rated the worst app for severe sexual content, according to Bark, a parental control and online safety platform.
Between 2023 and 2025, at least four Maine men were sentenced for distributing child pornography or soliciting nude pictures from underage girls by posing as minors while using Kik.
It is unclear who Platner messaged on the clandestine platform, but there is no evidence he communicated with minors.

We'll see. We'll see.

The Platner campaign said over the weekend that he deleted the app from his phone.

Just like he only papered-over his SS Totenkopf tattoo after it was exposed.

Meanwhile, Democrats who claim to be Anti-Nazi and Anti-Toxic Masculinity can't stop making excuses for Platner.

As Instapundit has said so many times: The people who are always telling you how passionately they believe the things they claim to believe actually believe none of the things they claim to believe.

It's all psychopathic Cluster-B manipulation and status-farming.

Democrats continue to defend Graham Platner even after his most recent scandal where he was found posting explicit pictures on an app known for exploiting teens.

What has to happen for Democrats to stand up for the puritanical beliefs they all claim to hold?

Nothing will ever make them stand up for these beliefs, because these are all the manipulations of Dark Triad narcissists and psychopaths.

Democrats are again acting like they occupy the high moral ground of American politics.
But if 2026 has proven anything, it's that there's virtually nothing a left-wing candidate could say or do that would elicit condemnation from Democrats if doing so threatened their power.
Democrats, for example, demand credit for their opposition to Maureen Galindo, the Texas House candidate who proposed putting American "Zionists" (wink, wink) into concentration camps and castrating them.
Galindo lost her Texas primary last week, but still won 36% of the vote -- not a bad showing for a politician championing mass imprisonment of her political enemies.
The question, though, is whether House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or anyone at Pod Save America or the Bulwark would have uttered a word in protest, had Galindo already won her primary before making those comments.
All the evidence strongly suggests no.
And by evidence, I mean their explicit support for slightly less offensive cranks, extremists, bigots and terrorism apologists like new party power broker Hasan Piker, or the socialist Hezbollah fan Abdul el Sayed in Michigan, or the Hamas apologist Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania -- a guy who suggested the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach was a "false flag" operation by "Zionists."
Imagine telling someone 20 years ago that a leading House candidate in a New Jersey district right outside New York City had both volunteered for an al Qaeda front in Europe and spent years being friends with "Blind Sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman, the longtime jihadi preacher who was sentenced for seditious conspiracy after planning a "day of terror" in 1993.
Adam Hamawy defended Abdel-Rahman during his trial -- and yet not a single notable Democrat has called him out on it.
Many of the same Democrats who expect Republicans to wring their hands over Republican Texas senatorial candidate Ken Paxton, a man tainted by corruption, have offered full-throated endorsement of a man who knowingly got and kept a Totenkopf SS Nazi tattoo for 20 years.
It's not just Graham Platner's mentally unstable ravings -- including saying a Purple Heart recipient didn't "deserve to live," or that "all cops are bastards," or that white rural Americans were "racist and stupid," or that the Virgin Mary was a "skank," or defending child killers of Hamas, or contending that sexual assault victims bring it on themselves.
It's that he still uses unhinged Marxist language right now.
Platner isn't the first skeeze to run for major office, but he might be the most extreme.
Only two elected Democrats, as far as I can tell, have spoken out about Platner's soft spot for Nazis.
One is Sen. John Fetterman, who is under relentless attack from his own party for supporting Israel over Islamists; the other is Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss.

And Auchincloss was bullied by Democrats and leftists for actually opposing a Nazi. Which, as a Jew, he's kind of duty-bound to do.

But instead they told him that he was a Nazi for opposing the Nazi.

17 her husband had been chatting up other women, including through private messaging app Kik

Kik is (well, originally was) FOR KIDS

luckily most of them realized it was full of pedos pretty quickly

him being on there as an adult male it just equals perv and I think pedo too

now as far as the left? this guy - THIS GUY - they can relate to. no joke.

18 Look, if Bernie Sanders has taught me anything, white women are crazy, especially around sex, and Maine has a lot of white women. This could all be social signaling telling women Platner is hot and desirable, so they support him more.

Schumer knew Platner was an issue months ago. That's why he got Mills to run.

When Democrats don't net any Senate seats (heck...imagine they lose one with the combination of a surprise hold in NC for the GOP followed by the Democrats losing MI) in the worst economy ever under the most unpopular president ever, and it can easily be laid at the feet of some really bad candidate choices.

I don't think so. I've been giving it some meta thought, and realized that when I first read about the potential gambit, its appeal was rooted in Normalcy Bias. But Platner is *not* normal; he appears to actually fulfill the Left's fantasy stereotype of soldiers as psychopaths.

I think he's as likely to kill whoever the Party sends to pressure him, smear himself with their blood, and dance around a bonfire hooting and hollering while shaking their decapitated heads like maracas, as he is to comply and drop out on demand.

104 I think he's as likely to kill whoever the Party sends to pressure him, smear himself with their blood, and dance around a bonfire hooting and hollering while shaking their decapitated heads like maracas, as he is to comply and drop out on demand.

Collins was never going to lose.

Polling in 2020 showed her losing everything until election day when she won by 8.

She knows how to politic her state. She has key votes she can flaunt (that leadership allows her) while bringing home lots of pork.

Democrats just made a show of it by believing their own farts.

Simply Put. LIBs would have you Pity the Devil for Being EVIL. They use pity as a weapon, and pity for themselves as a weapon -- LIBs plead for a Morality which holds COMPROMISE as its standard of Value, making it possible to judge Virtue on the basis of the number of Values which one is willing to Betray.

I've told SO MANY women I have at least mild friendships with this exact same thing.

"Why is he like this?"

BECAUSE IT WORKS. Because you stay with him. Because you don't compel him to change.

If women decided, collectively, overnight, that NONE of them would tolerate unemployed, foul-mouthed, lazy, disrespectful douche-baggery, every man on the planet would change. Immediately.

Women hold ALL the power in relationships. We would do ANYTHING for a woman we wanted a relationship with.

133 90 Platner's presence on Kik was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which reported that he sent sexually explicit messages to multiple women while married to his wife Amy Gertner, who wedded Platner in 2023. According to the outlet, Platner's wife first discovered the adulterous messages in the spring of 2025 and later divulged them to a since-departed campaign official.

It's an assumption based on the fact that Collins is an absolute cutthroat politician up there who always finds ways to win.

She's (assumption) GOT to be sitting on awful, awful stuff. Keep in mind that all this information about Platner is coming from the LEFT in an effort to chase him from the race before they're stuck with him as the nominee.

189 Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and his wife, Amy Gertner, traveled to Norway in January to receive in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments after struggling to conceive.

They paused their campaign to pursue this option due to the significantly lower medical and travel costs in Europe compared to the United States. The couple noted that a single round of IVF in Norway costs roughly $5,500 compared to domestic quotes of $15,000 to $30,000.

While Platner initially cited the prohibitive costs of US healthcare as a reason for traveling overseas, it was later revealed that his and Amy's parents covered the expenses for the treatments, travel, and lodging.

In April, the couple announced that they suffered a miscarriage following the IVF treatment. Platner has used their personal infertility journey as a platform to advocate for universal healthcare and better fertility support.

You can follow their story and public statements on Graham Platner's X Account or read further coverage on People dot Graham Platner on campaign hiatus to pursue pregnancy.

Very spiffy on that VA disability income.

194 Dems switching out candidates at the last minute was perfectly demonstrated in the Torricelli-Lautenberg switcheroo in the 2002 New Jersey Senate race.

Toricelli, the incumbent, was unelectable and the GOP candidate, Forrester (?) had a good chance of grabbing the seat, so the Dems begged Lautenberg to run. He agreed, and Torricelli got the heave-ho. Lautenberg won the seat.
Posted by: mrp at June 01, 2026 01:22 PM (rj6Yv)

It was even worse than that. The deadline to switch out the candidate had passed, so Torricelli was stuck on the ballot. Not to worry, though, because the Dems were able to find a friendly judge who ruled that it was OK to put Lautenberg in after the deadline had passed.

None of the people making that claim believe it. You can go search their posting history and until 2025 they all claimed in unison there were no Epstein clients.

What changed?

The left looked at the 2024 campaign and decided they lost in part because of the Epstein claims against Dem leaders so they figured if they make those claims against Republicans it will instead hurt their enemies.

But here's how you can have fun with them - remember that CA Bill where they tried to legalize underage prostitution. Ask them if everyone that voted for that bill should be arrested.

Not "a candidate on the ballot."

I've been going to the gym for nearly three years. 3 days a week I do heavy weight training (I'm up to 390lbs squat, 275lbs bench, 475lbs deadlift). I do two days a week of cardio. Typically 7.5 kilometers on a rower in ~31 minutes on full resistance, then ~43 minutes on a stair climb machine on level 6.

I've been calorie counting on and off for about that same time. I usually kill it during the week, then fall apart a little bit on the weekend. Not a total binge, but I'll do something like have a personal pizza on Friday night and maybe get Mexican on Saturday night.

What I recently changed is I got on Wegovy. 1.5mg for a month, then 4mg. Its made it easy to stay on my calorie budget.

Yeah, I know. Some will say it's cheating and I just need to get some discipline. I do need to improve my discipline. But I think I've been exercising pretty good discipline for years.

He's a nepo baby narcissist who went to war three times (once with Blackwater) to, as he put it, "kill people" and is lying about it to try and score some minor political hit against Susan Collins.

He held onto his SS tattoo for nearly 20 years (and might still have it).

He joined a dating site designed for child predation.

And he's still going to win his nomination by 30-50 points. With the knowledge that the party will fall in line behind him once the deadline is passed.

325 Probably willowed, but maybe ace will pick this one up. A federal court has ruled that banning trans mental cases from the military is "unconstitutional". Best part - the policy reflects "animus" by the administration.

When the f**k did the "courts" begin to be allowed to be Revolutionary Command Council members with mind-reading powers? Many of the most ludicrous lawless usurpations and idiocies by "courts" since Trump 1 have included this absurd conceit of finding "animus" in a policy.

None of this is within their substantive or formal competence, of course. They're not policymakers, they're not lawmakers, they're glorified clerks. All old news but the more you learn about the US system as it's devolved the less wonder, respect, and starry-eyed "patriotic" enthusiasm is feasible.

I think the SEALs avoided the Idiocy Crisis under the vegetable administration simply by doing/saying nothing. BUDS and hell week attrits 90% of aspiring candidates anyway. Don't know, though I know someone who would know, how many females or trans mental cases even attempted to get it. Anyway.

Oh, I'm sure he deleted the app from his phone.

Deleting his account on the app, deleting it from home computer, and not using the (probably extant) browser only access on the other hand...

341 Some of the ladies of The View are turning on Platner. We need to keep our powder dry and wait till after 7/13 before the Dems can force him to drop out and replace him.

Nicholas Fondacaro-
Directly countering Whoopi Goldberg-

SARA HAINES: Not to make this political, I'm usually not the one who does that. But watching the video of the wife saying, 'you know, don't spend energy on these ads.' The problem with these ads is, they are true. These accusations are true.

What they're doing to James Talarico in Texas are calling him things that he isn't. That's where you don't spend energy is on false information. But on this, I would argue you tell it like this is.

This is a character flaw. This isn't - He, Platner has said, you know, he did it -- I didn't mean it I've changed. This is a problem. The Purple Heart recipient, by the way, the video he insulted was a man who took fire to save his team and he said, 'this stupid guy should have died. It's only because they didn't have good aim that he's here.'

If you were capable of saying that at any time in your life, you've shown me who you are and I heard you. This man should be nowhere near Congress.

There was a girl I went to high school with that was in our circle of friends. Beautiful girl. She got married, and her husband was out fucking around. He gave her aids, and she didn't know. She got pregnant and passed it to her unborn daughter. The daughter eventually got sick and they both ended up eventually dying. It was sad. He wasn't gay, but was with an infected chick that got it from one of those gay dudes that also doinked the occasional woman spreading their bullshit outside their circle. It was one of the times where if I had the power I would have built a fag auschwitz and burned them all.

The best book on AIDS is called "Inventing the AIDS Virus" by the late Peter Duesberg, MD (just died last January). He was the pre-eminent Cancer doctor in the US and then he investigated AIDS. The book is a complete expose on how AIDS doesn't even qualify as a disease using the standard definition of a disease used by the medical profession, how AZT was a chemical that pretty much killed everyone who took it to "cure" their AIDS, and much more. Highly recommended.

That was just an artifact of the root cause, the method of transmission: ejaculation.
Early on, there was the case of the woman who contracted HIV via a blood transfusion. Her and her husband had regular unprotected sex, like 3 or 4 times a week for four years before she was diagnosed. He never got it.
Women whose husbands had it almost always contracted the disease.
To the extent that it made a good acronym (Anally Injected Death Sentence) AIDS was a better name than HIV.

Surprise: Nazi Communist Who Is Sexually Aroused by Feces Also Sexts Women Other Than His Wife

Shane Goldmacher
@ShaneGoldmacher
Ms. McDonald said Ms. Gertner told her that her husband had been exchanging sexual messages with as many as a dozen women.
A current Platner campaign official said Mr. Platner had been communicating with up to six women.

So this is what he meant by Oyster Farming.

Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate looking to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, exchanged sexual texts with several women after marrying his wife two years ago, according to a report.
Platner's campaign confirmed the text exchanges to Politico following a report from the Wall Street Journal that claimed his wife, Amy Gertner, told a campaign aide about the texts after he launched his senate bid as they began looking into potential political liabilities.
Gertner discovered the messages months after the couple married in 2024, the WSJ reported.
She made the private revelation before Platner held a campaign rally last year supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., but the aide decided the texts were a private matter for the couple, the campaign said, according to the newspaper.
Gertner said in a statement to the Journal: "I confided deeply personal details about my marriage to someone I considered a friend. In the months since, I have had to watch as she spread malicious gossip to anyone who would take her call. I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives -- the early days of our marriage before any campaign was on our mind -- and I am deeply hurt by her betrayal and the invasion of our privacy."

This report said she told a "campaign aide," so 1, this was well into the contemplation of a campaign and 2, the information wasn't shared "with a friend," but with a campaign aide for purposes of protecting the campaign.

Also -- what would it matter that he was unfaithful before any campaign was on his mind? Is this the Area Code theory of infidelity, applied to campaigns?

She added that she and her husband: "Did the hard work that marriage requires. We went to counseling. We were honest with each other in ways that weren't easy. And we came through it, not in spite of how much we've been through, but because of how much we love each other and the life we've built. Our marriage today is stronger than ever before."

He's a deadbeat living off you and your mother and, as many deadbeat men do, is trolling for sleazy women in a vain effort to boost his rightly-fragile ego.

Platner, an oyster farmer and veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, has also faced a number of controversies before this, including a since-removed tattoo that resembled a Nazi symbol, and past controversial comments on Reddit minimizing sexual assault and making crude remarks about masturbation and a deleted post where he claimed a wounded soldier "didn't deserve to live."

Hello, sorry for the lateness, went out too late for my walk and then went to the market. Not really an excuse.

Crow update: Yesterday the crows saw me getting coffee and squawked and cawed until I gave them some snacks. I think the whole pack of crows has been alerted because a lot more are flying around, although just the male and female couple are actually landing to eat.

When I was out at the market I got kettlecorn for the crows. A significant amount of my life now consists of guessing what crows might like to eat.

The main answer is "cheese." They love it.

Primary is June 9, next Tuesday.

There is still another candidate (David Collins), and Mills, the governor, is still on the ballot though she suspended her campaign.

However, he was winning in polls by like 30-50 points after the Nazi tattoo came out. He's most likely not going to lose the primary.

The Maine Democrat Party's only hope is to convince him to drop out. They can do that before the primary or afterwards. There's a Maine state law that allows parties to replace candidates until about mid-July.

Is Platner the kind of guy who feels like he's gonna drop out because people tell him to? They couldn't keep him off KIK after telling him it was used for sexual predation of children.

After this, I have to imagine the national party is writing off the race completely.

There's no way they come back from their frontrunner having this many issues (with more to come, I'm sure), even if they Biden him and put up their uninspiring alternate who couldn't muster enough support to even make it to the primary.

There was a poll of the Maine senate race last week.

It showed Platner winning.

What people ignored was that the indy vote (which makes up 40% of the electorate in Maine) shifted 14 points towards Collins since the last poll.

And Platner's lead was pretty much the same in both.

In his yearbook photo, he holds a sign reading "Free Kosovo Chechnya Kashmir Palestine Kurdistan Tibet"

Platner protested at the Bangor International Airport in 2002, and was removed by the Secret Service while heckling President George W. Bush ("w") about the looming Iraq War.

Yet, in 2005, he joins the US Marines and where does he go?

And once getting out of the US Marines, he bartends & goes to school - like AOC - but gets bored or something & joins the Maryland National Guard to serve a tour in Afghanistan.

Black turnout will be down at least 10% because of the primary where the black candidate lost (happens all the time in Dem primaries vs. generals where the black candidate loses).

And the state has hardened partisanly, especially at the federal level.

154 I keep asking myself what it means that Maine's Democrats have decided Platner is their best candidate for a US Senate seat. I ask the same question regarding Talarico in Texas--or for that matter, Kamala Harris in toto when it comes to the presidency. Kurt Schlichter has asked similar questions in one of his recent Town Hall articles. Can the Democrats field a candidate for high public office who can successfully pass as a normal human being? I'm guessing they can, but they don't. I can't find an explanation for any this.

155 r/DemocraticSocialism (7 months ago)

Why is this subreddit so obsessed with Platner? He did some horrible things. He served four Iraq tours and very likely killed innocent people. He was a mercenary for Blackwater. And of course, the Nazi tattoo.

The obsession is coming from the fascists and liberals who, as always, obsessively seek to crush any gains of the left. Many naive people (and some liberal simps) here are buying into it.

He ran security for an ambassador for 6 months and left. these people think if you say backwater enough times they’ll burn the image of graham choking out a 4 year old in the dead of night with a pmc patch on.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. I will always vote on policies and removing fascist from office. There is no better candidate. And genuinely he's a near ideal general election candidate in Maine.

Nobody is swooning, we're defending him against idiots/plants like you. Actual Nazis don't tend to apologize and cover up their Nazi stuff.

Purity tests for you. Purity tests for you! PURITY TESTS FOR EVERYONE!!!

That's nice but he supports M4A. So I support him.

A current Platner campaign official said Mr. Platner had been communicating with up to six women.

‘Up to six’? Wtf does that mean? It’s easy enough to know the exact number. Even The Paolo knows exactly how many 100s of women he’s sexting.

Imagine who these ladies are — assuming they are real ladies and not rocking gangling dicks in their pants — that they’re intentionally sexting with this degenerate homosexual creep.

From allowing the Obama administration to do outright illegal things (like Fast and Furious) without even rhetorical admonition to the rise of the Squad who get used to fundraise and never actually squashed to the embrace of Islamists to actual structural changes like weakening super delegates in the presidential primary process, the establishment has willingly given more and more power to the insane left of several ilks all while needing to push out the normal white population in order to appease the new additions.

So, the establishment is trying to pretend it's the part of the 90s while the party of today is screaming about how borders are illegal, Jews are the devil, and all MAGA needs to be put in camps.

Dems switching out candidates at the last minute was perfectly demonstrated in the Torricelli-Lautenberg switcheroo in the 2002 New Jersey Senate race.

Toricelli, the incumbent, was unelectable and the GOP candidate, Forrester (?) had a good chance of grabbing the seat, so the Dems begged Lautenberg to run. He agreed, and Torricelli got the heave-ho. Lautenberg won the seat.

I don't think so. I've been giving it some meta thought, and realized that when I first read about the potential gambit, its appeal was rooted in Normalcy Bias. But Platner is *not* normal; he appears to actually fulfill the Left's fantasy stereotype of soldiers as psychopaths.

I think he's as likely to kill whoever the Party sends to pressure him, smear himself with their blood, and dance around a bonfire hooting and hollering while shaking their decapitated heads like maracas, as he is to comply and drop out on demand.

@joelmowbray
The brains — and enforcer — behind Graham Platner is
@katz_morris, Zohran Mamdani's media guru.

Katz is the new David Axelrod, who mentors him.

And the Pod Save bros love Katz.

AFTER Katz publicly savaged a female former staffer, he got
@jonfavs to write a now-viral tweet defending Platner.

Obama's former media guru did Katz's bidding after Axelrod's protégé tweeted, "There should be no place in our politics for incompetent, opportunistic operatives who violate privacy, betray trust, and prioritize vengeance over decency."

This morning, it came out that Katz had threatened Platner's former campaign manager, Genevieve McDonald, with a smear campaign before the WSJ story published.

Since the revelation of Katz's threat, Jon Favreau has been silent.

Also silent has been Katz's mentor and close friend, David Axelrod.

So when you see the closing of ranks behind the Nazi-tattooed misogynist, just remember it's literally a protégé of Obama's media team using brute force to make that happen.

THE MORNING RANT: Senators Cornyn & Cassidy Were My Fault, Because I Voted for Both of Them as the “Most Electable Candidate”; also, the Amazing Rhythm Ace of Spades

Dear Texas and Louisiana voters: With a combination of gratitude and shame, I’d like to thank you for cleaning up the mess I helped create by putting Democrat-aligned RINOs in the Senate to represent your great states. I apologize for my role in putting duplicitous, faux-conservatives in a position to betray the actual conservatives who elected them, and I hope others will learn the lesson I learned – never, ever vote for the most “electable” candidate if it means empowering someone who may align with the left against conservatives.

Politics is not a sporting event where we simply cheer for whomever is wearing our team’s jersey. John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy were allegedly Team Republican, but they have spent the past nine years working with Democrats to undermine the man whom Republicans voted for in the past three presidential elections.

To my ever-lasting disgrace, while living in Texas I voted for John Cornyn in the 2002 Republican primary, because he was the “moderate” and “electable” Republican who was most likely to defeat the “popular” Dallas Mayor, Ron Kirk, in the general election. Cornyn won the primary and the general election, and he then proceeded to stab conservatives in the back for the next 24 years. The power of incumbency could no longer protect him this year, as disgusted Texas Republicans voted for Ken Paxton by a landslide in the Texas senate primary.

Even worse, while living in Louisiana in 2014, I voted for Bill Cassidy in the US Senate primary since he was the most “electable” Republican candidate running against the “moderate” and “popular” three-term Democrat incumbent, Mary Landrieu. Not only has Bill Cassidy been hostile to the MAGA agenda, he actually joined Senate Democrats in voting to convict President Trump in the farcical impeachment trial in early 2021. After Cassidy’s 12-year run of duplicity and betrayal against the Republicans who elected him, he too was just voted out of office, finishing third in the Republican primary.

These two senators who are routinely praised by Trump-haters for being men of high character are already making clear that they will finish out their term with middle fingers fully extended toward their constituents. They plan to represent national Democrats and the DC swamp for their final months in office, not the states that elected them to office. The “respectable Republicans” who advocated for Cornyn’s and Cassidy’s re-election are cheering on this score-settling, and blaming Donald Trump for the despicable character now on full display by Cornyn and Cassidy.

“Character”, to the modern voter, means “willingness and ability to faithfully represent the interests of the voters who elected them”

Anyone looking for something other than that should go to church.
— Surma Greene (@SurmaGreene) May 29, 2026

There are plenty of other Cornyns and Cassidys running in Republican senate primaries across the country. Down in Georgia, Derek Dooley has already gone off-script and revealed that he plans to go “full Lankford” once elected and oppose Trump’s border-control policies. But there is already a Democrat Senator from Georgia (Jon Ossoff) battling Trump’s successful closure of the border, so there is absolutely no reason for Georgia Republicans to elect a guy wearing our jersey to vote in Washington like Ossoff. (Mike Collins is apparently the Georgia Republican senate candidate who is most likely to authentically represent MAGA if elected.)

The Amazing Rhythm Ace of Spades

One of the fun things at the Ace of Spades blog is getting to know some of the unexpected people who are loyal readers. For me, one of them has been James Hooker, a founding member of the country-rock group The Amazing Rhythm Aces. After the Aces’ run had ended, Mr. Hooker spent two decades as the band leader for country-folk singer Nancy Griffith.

I was a fan of the Amazing Rhythm Aces when I was a teen in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, incorporating the Aces’ music into my “Long-Haired Country” mix-tapes, along with the likes of Asleep at the Wheel, Rusty Wier, Charlie Daniels, and David Allen Coe. I was also a big fan of Nancy Griffith throughout her career, and my favorite song of hers was “Gulf Coast Highway,” a song co-written by Mr. Hooker and Ms. Griffith.

I was pleasantly surprised one day when I received a Twitter follow from James Hooker, who acknowledged being an Ace of Spades fan. We subsequently traded occasional pleasantries about music, or simple holiday greetings.

Mr. Hooker recently shared with me a new recording that is political in nature, “Mr. Smith (He Don’t Live Here No More).” The title refers to the straight-arrow, corruption-fighting senator played by James Stewart in the 1939 film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Mr. Hooker wrote the song about 15 years ago – but never recorded it – back in the era when the Tea Party had apparently been defeated by the Washington establishment. In reality, however, it was just creating further voter disgust that set the stage for MAGA.

That disgust toward swamp politicians who betray their constituents – e.g. people like John Cornyn and Bill Cassidy – is captured in this song, which is also a great, bluesy song stylistically, irrespective of the lyrics. The good news is that voters are now taking the initiative to terminate the political careers of these types of politicians.

Writ' by me about 15 years ago..... pic.twitter.com/bkR2bPb88k

Since we’re talking about the Amazing Rhythm Aces, here they are playing their biggest hit, “Third Rate Romance.” (James Hooker is in the peach-colored shirt playing the black piano.)

And finally, here’s Nancy Griffith along with James Hooker playing their sweet, sad song “Gulf Coast Highway”

Thank you, James.

27 Until you're willing to vote Libertarian in the general election that's close, or just outright vote Democrat because there is no third party candidate, in order to get rid of a bad Republican, it's still just Team Red cheerleading.

If you vote Democrat, how does the GOP know what message you think you're sending? Likewise, if you vote LP, how does the GOP know you're not just a single issue pothead?

29 For years the Democrats choose rapists, polluters, the rich, anti-semites, etc.

As a Republican I'm supposed to freak out that MAGA type candidate might say mean things and some of them might even (gasp) have had affairs.

This is a game designed to make us lose.

There are no personally morally perfect candidates, just ones the FNM drags through the mud because they are MAGA and ones they don't because the are Democrats or RINOs.

35 Teh Amazing Rhythm Aces were one of the best bands you never heard of during the '70s and early '80s. Their song "The End Is Not in Sight (The Cowboy Tune)" was either a Grammy nominee or winner around 1980. "Third Rate Romance," a truly haunting song, was new in 1975. But their crowning achievement was the album Too Stuffed to Jump, which had "End" on it and a slew of other great songs. Just about every cut on it is a wonder, and different from the others: bluesy rock, folk, and even a semi-ragtime item called "The Little Italy Rag."

Highly recommended.

From their cut "I'll Be Gone":
"Well, baby -- well, maybe I shouldn't call you 'baby' no more.

37 Dear Texas and Louisiana voters: With a combination of gratitude and shame, I’d like to thank you for cleaning up the mess I helped create by putting Democrat-aligned RINOs in the Senate to represent your great states. I apologize for my role in putting duplicitous, faux-conservatives in a position to betray the actual conservatives who elected them, and I hope others will learn the lesson I learned – never, ever vote for the most “electable” candidate if it means empowering someone who may align with the left against conservatives.

38 With the last 20+ years of experience, I'm done holding my nose and voting for a GOP candidate to keep the democrat out. The GOP candidate is going to be a democrat anyways. Might as well sit it out, help make the GOP candidate unemployed, and try to fix it during the next election cycle.

I've heard this as long as I've been here at AOSHQ, which is over 20 years. It's nonsense. The GOP doesn't know if you're saying "nominate more conservative candidates" or "I'm too lazy to bother voting." They aren't mind readers.

48 Let's face it - Cornyn KNEW his goose was cooked; otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown so much money into the primary race.

John son must have known this would happen, so he always "let" Cornyn vote against GOP interests. Everyone else assumed that was a "safe" bet - we had the votes (barely) to pass legislation that was going to die in the Senate anyway, so who gives a flip about what the voters want?

Turns out, the VOTERS care - they care a LOT.

I still haven't forgotten what Cornyn pulled with Lisa Murkowski and Miller in Alaska all those years ago. Apparently I wasn't the only one who was gunning for bear (again) this time.

When President Biden and his party pushed for a major gun control package in 2022, all Senate Republicans like Cornyn had to do was say, “No.” But Texas’ senior senator had other ideas. Cornyn not only voted for the bill that was peppered with vague language about “dating partners” and red flag laws; he spearheaded negotiations with Senate Democrats on behalf of the Republican conference.

Without Cornyn and Co.’s help, the legislation likely would have never passed.

For that alone may he suck syphilitic cock.

A century of Congress ceding power to the executive has made the presidency the only office that really matters at the federal level.

The president has so much power over enforcement and regulatory writing that he's effectively an emperor.

Yes, we do get these side shows of district judges stopping things here and there, but that doesn't change the fact that "Trump is methodically stripping immigrants — including many with legal status — of their ability to function in daily life, cutting them off from everything from jobs to day-care subsidies.

93 The GOPe has been controlled opposition since 1999...until Trump.

And it looks like with Cassidy and Cornyn getting bounced we might FINALLY be getting some cleanup in Congress.

If right leaning voters stop electing controlled opposition legislators was might finally be getting somewhere.

But these voters need to stay strong and sharp. When the FNM dumps claims of someone having an affair or something of that ilk ask yourself first isn't it obvious why the FNM is doing this and secondly why should you care?

Would you rather get conservative policy from less then perfect people OR get leftist policy from less then perfect people? Because that is the only choice you get to make.

But after the House passed that Obama-fellating """"budget""" coming off of a """TEA Party""" smackdown in '14, I washed my hands of these cucks forever. No more.

Back then, they (WERE, with a capital everything, WERE) electable. But what the fuck dies electability count for when they're just working for the Democrats and don't even bother pretending otherwise?

Then, of course, they just became openly partisan Democrats during Trump, resorting to the sleaziest, most aggressive tactics to try and stem the rising tide of populism that inevitably drowned them despite their best efforts.

And now? Well, they can no longer even pretend at electability. They're nothing without Trump at the top of the ticket, and they never will be again.

Mike Pence on Face the Nation. What a spineless lump of quivering cowardice. His career in politics has been dead since Jan 6th, and this coward cannot say anything more than mild oblique criticism of Trump.

When questioned about Trump endorsing far-right bigots in the primaries over qualified conservatives he dissembled and blamed Democrats for going full on socialist.

What a pitiful excuse of a man.

He went on about how radical left lunatics have gone too far, and whrn asked if his book was a rebuke of MAGA republicanism he said something like, “I’m not really one for labels”. Complete coward.

It's Mike Pence, he was never an ally. Just look at this shit he did as governor in Indiana.

It’s kind of cringe the Kennedy’s gave him the “Profile in Courage” award last year. expressing "concern" or having some "reservations" about the latest batsh!t crazy action taken by the administration is noteworthy?

Pence shows what happened to the GOP. They believed they could be a Reagan Republican in a Trump party of MAGA white national socialism. They compromised themselves because they feared being kicked out.

157 Oklahoma is arguably the reddest state in the Union. Democrat candidates won't put their party affiliation on their yard signs. That's how toxic the Blue brand is here.

158 What was interesting about Bush is that, of our options he was better than McCain at the time (circa 1999.) I think McCain was leading in the primaries for a bit and I was listening to Rush and he had a caller from Texas who said something along the lines of 'Don't count this guy out. There are bodies all over Austin of people who underestimated him.'

At the time I thought 'Oh, so he's tougher than he appears. Core of steel in a velvet glove' that kind of thing. He was more craft and cunning than his exterior folksy appearance.

The problem is: Disingenuousness is NOT a good thing. There are two kinds of people like this. Those who when pushed in public harden like steel and push back. That is strength tempered by humility and courtesy. And then there is the passive aggressive puppeteer who in public is shy and retiring and in private is ordering hits on the opposition.

The GOPe learned from Bush that they could be all happy and accommodating on the surface and then fuck the base in the ass and be mean as hell to get what THEY wanted. See... almost all the GOP politicians of the past 20 years.

Trump is putting to fire every one of their "we can't do this now" excuses for reneging on their campaign promises.

Even as it crumbles to ash in their hands, they still cling to all those lies.
Like Cornyn actually thinking introducing a bill to name a highway in TX after Trump was going to save him--"just put ol' John back in the Senate and I promise I'll get to all those other things I promised every 6 years for the last 24 years."

It took Trump like 7 years to really start.

His naivete about how the party itself operated at the beginning was...unfortunate. And then the struggle actually started, and the first real win was taking over the RNC and displacing Ronna McDaniel which didn't happen until March of 2024.

But, the effects once he actually started making intra-party ground have been quite sweeping, it seems.

Look...I freely admit I spat more than my share of venom at the "electability" crowd. And I stand by the vast majority of it, even admitting you gotta get in before anything else matters, because the flip side is that if they won't do what you want/need, there's no real point.

That said...I don't think without Trump or some equivalent we'd be in any position to stop voting for sellouts and start electing the people we need. Sometimes your solutions aren't predictable and clear. Life's funny like that, I guess.

AI layoffs are cover for extracting DEI ticks without suffering EEOC suits or stock price falls.

But it's funny how different the stocks react between:

"we laid off 10,000 because of the economy" - falls
"we laid off 10,000 because of AI integration" - rises

Exact same job loss; opposite result.

296 If you are a scumbag opportunist, you probably lean to the Left.
If you are a scumbag opportunist in an R district, you probably run for office as an R even though, in your heart, you are D

This is how the R party gets infested with these people. Understand that some percentage of people running as R are only doing that because they are in districts where a D can not get elected. This is why the more conservative states often have the worst Republicans.

(Also note that this applies to the Dems as well -- if you are a commie scumbag, you probably run ad a D without letting on that you are really S for socialist.)

Well. Okay. Your proposal is acceptable.
...
Iran may have just given Trump what he's wanted this whole time. A plausible reason to finally handle the family business.

And given that they have targeted Him(Trump) as well as his family members (Ivanka) without regard to the LIB international order of *not* targetting heads of state and their families just what he wanted.

Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans."
-- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.

To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK -- OBAMA'09

What is the vital national interest? -- IceKingJOE who enabled precisely that!

AI is an excuse because “fuck were we retarded to hire so many people or what” doesn’t impress Wall St analysts as much as “we’re like totally an AI company”.

In the 1966 movie How to Steal a Million, Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, and other actors all pronounce it as "Van Gokh." They are supposed to be in Paris, and Audrey's character and her father (actor Hugh Griffith) are French. But O'Toole's cat burglar is English or Irish, and he uses that pronunciation. When in France, I guess.

Excavations revealed 21 burials. One discovery, however, stood out from the rest — a woman buried at the center of the cemetery. According to Kurguzkin, most members of the Andronovo culture were relatively short, averaging around 130–140 centimeters in height. Based on skeletal remains, however, this woman may have stood nearly two meters tall.

139 Art Institute Chicago: Terrace and Observation Deck at the Moulin de Blute-Fin, MontmartreDate:
Early 1887

Artist:
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

About this artwork
This painting dates from the winter of 1887, roughly a year after Vincent van Gogh arrived in Paris to join his brother, the art dealer Theo van Gogh. It is one of a group of landscapes featuring the Butte Montmartre, a short climb from the apartment on the rue Lepic where Vincent and Theo lived. Montmartre was dotted with reminders of its quickly receding rural past—abandoned quarries, kitchen gardens, and three surviving windmills, including the Moulin de Blute-Fin. The nonfunctional mill had become a tourist attraction, affording spectacular panoramic views over Paris from the observation tower erected beside it.

---
The painting is peaceful but elementary, lacking any of the panoramic view reported to be present.

Never saw this early van Gogh before, so it's interesting because it is so different from later drawings & paintings.

Thanks.

Trying to absorb the language of diplomacy in a warlike/political environment is frustrating because they're literally different languages.

I don't think the US takes the talks seriously. Like, at all. And they never have.

I think the US's priority is to squeeze through the blockade while reorientating the world towards US energy.

Evidence today of massive demand destruction in China for oil. That won't snap back. That demand is gone. While the world is ramping up to overproduce while also find ways around the strait (UAE is building a pipeline that should have capacity to completely replace the 20 million barrels per day traffic the strait dealt with antebellum).

about a detective investigating an amputation cult.

Very creepy and very well-done.

And have so many they can lose track of them.

but, tbh, I don't think Americans want to know how much the CIA is just a shadow cabal of quasi-royals that have full control of the US federal government.

Especially as we have open and known CIA plants now running both VA and NJ, eagerly supported by the Dems.

Just like the FBI.

Every CIA and FBI over a GS-12 must be fired and permanently banned from government.

We will survive that loss of talent, skill and knowledge.
And even the good ones lost.
What we can not survive is their unaccountable unlimited power and corruption.

We're never close, no matter what press releases say.

The IRGC knows its survival, not as an organization but as individuals, relies on them keeping the uranium (which honestly may not exist anymore, the UE-60 is gaseous and probably evaporated during the bombing campaign when containment was likely cracked) and having some kind of leverage over the world, hence the strait drama.

But they're losing $450 million a day in lost trade, have no manufacturing capabilities anymore, and increasing populist issues at home (though apparently no actual organizing force to counter since it's just generalized discontent and anger).

How are they going to rearm?

Roughly 98% of their trade was done by sea from Persian and Oman Gulf ports. The Caspian Sea ports are tiny, and the railroads into Pakistan from Eastern Iran carry minimal cargo and even have different gauges which requires changing over.

And decades of arming got them a few dozen American drones over the course of 10,000 sorties over their airspace.

246 Vincent van Gogh’s Terrace and Observation Deck at the Moulin de Blute-Fin (painted early 1887 in Paris) was authenticated by the rigorous, multi-year verification process of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.The artwork was initially purchased in 1975 for a fraction of its value and doubted by critics for decades before undergoing authentication.

That authentication is still subjective in that it has no signature, provenance traces it back to a French art market not his sister in law and dating the canvas around the same time as Van Gogh.

van Gogh was here in the early stage of his career as a painter. As he progressed, he continued his practice of licking his paintbrushes to quickly sharpen the bristles to a fine point; some of the paints were pigmented with heavy metal compounds, and over the following years, this contributed to the development of his distinctive style.

But time is not on their side because the blockade exists.

They didn't import their ballistic missiles. They manufactured them. They can't get the precursor materials anymore, and their entire manufacturing base was wiped out.

Inflation is a growing disaster in the country while the people are doing large demonstrations in the streets. The IRGC was so sure of their situation that they imported their proxies from Eastern Iraq to keep the people down.

276 Got $400 to pre-order from Sprue Brothers the Red Pill 1/32 F-4B/N Phantom II kit?

Can you short a model company?
