Nova,

I had no hope that the redistricting would not pass.

I figure there is lots of cheating happening.

29 If chickens had arms and sub-machine guns, they'd rule the world.

30 And for the record, it's about a 16 mile round trip hike to get to the top of El Cap... most folks take about 10 hours to do it...

31 If there's any hope, Stafford is actually +3 No right now (with 61% of their vote in)...and they have gone very blue in 2024 and 2025...so, if they are a bellweather, maybe there's still an "eke it out" chance...but it's low...

32 Glorious selection, Ace.

Thank you very much.

34 My ballot went into a shredder and when the green light came on, the old lady said “thank you, come again”.

49 Fairfax and the lefty demons who inhabit there will sink the NO by a mile; it won't even be close even with the huge rural and men turnout tonight .. when women go 80-20% yes and they are 54% of the voting age population ...

50 Fairfax, who has 0 votes in, cast a little under 175K early votes...probably will end up with 350K votes total...if the votes break 80-20 (and why wouldn't it, when they can get 5 of the 11 congressional seats for themselves vs the other areas of VA)...that's a lead of 210K votes to be safe.

Fairfax doesn't always go that blue, but tends to when Trump is on the ballot...or here, when they can get almost all the power...

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

Luckily the visiting hairdresser would wash and set her hair like the bad old days, and she liked that fine.

NYT opinion:

"It is not ageist to ask whether older people should be required to give more to younger Americans and national priorities - it is critical to the future of our democracy and society. America needs to confront gerontocracy before the system collapses under the weight of its inequality and injustice.

Older Americans deserve a say over the future even when they might not live to see it. But they do not deserve the stranglehold over it they currently enjoy through overrepresentation in elections, which produces too many regressive policies and too many seniors in the highest offices.

Older Americans are owed the care that everyone else funds. Indeed, they should get more of it than they get now - including funding for long-term care at home or in nursing homes. But they also need incentives to give up accumulated housing, jobs and wealth.

In little more than a century, the extension of life has transformed American and global politics. It turned older Americans, who had been one of the most underprivileged groups in the country, into some of the most overprivileged."

82 Older Americans worked their asses off their entire lives for that privilege. Nothing was given to them.

Should a lot of them retire? Probably.

The @USTreasury will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically degrade Tehran’s ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds.

Any person or vessel facilitating these flows—through covert trade and finance—risks exposure to U.S. sanctions.

119 Hi Bulg!

120 Evening, all,

Went to see three more houses today. One was okay, one was lower than meh as it had no garage (but space to build one at least). The third was a charmer. Unfortunately, as I was leaving to meet Salty for an early dinner (and he is, as I always suspected, a gentleman as well as a scholar), my car flashed a message at me: "Right low beam failure."

I had the left done a couple of years ago, and I know it's not as simple to change the HID bulb as it was to swap a bulb in 1970s-1990s cars. But my regular mechanic told me he had to take the bumper off to reach the headlight housing! YooToob videos make no mention of that, but admit various bits have to be removed or moved. I've had a tire and service place here in Salina recommended to me and will try them tomorrow. I don't want to drive at night or in rain with only one headlight!

The whole thing is against the VA Consitutition.

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

It was a great dinner -- excellent Italian food, and we had a great time talking.

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

151 I had the left done a couple of years ago, and I know it's not as simple to change the HID bulb as it was to swap a bulb in 1970s-1990s cars. But my regular mechanic told me he had to take the bumper off to reach the headlight housing! YooToob videos make no mention of that, but admit various bits have to be removed or moved. I've had a tire and service place here in Salina recommended to me and will try them tomorrow. I don't want to drive at night or in rain with only one headlight!

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

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

Got towed to some little repair shop and that guy helped us source parts from junkyards. He came in on Sunday and fixed our car. The kindness of strangers and car troubles on the road.

So I hope. The YooToob videos I've looked at, for my car and year and the HID headlights, don't mention the bumper removal. Maybe I'll come out of this quickly and for less $$$ than I expect.

Hey, it's a ten-year-old car. This was bound to happen sooner or later. The Buick has been extremely reliable and cheap to run, feed, maintain, and repair.

My town has some of the lowest property taxes in the area. And some of the top ranked schools in the state.

The amount of money being spent on our schools has very little overall outcome on results.

Funding education off property tax is evil. Fund school buildings? Sure. Because nice school buildings (and grounds) can have other community uses, and a nice modern school building can be a magnet to draw new residents to the community, spreading out the tax burden a little. But teacher salaries, textbooks, and operating expenses should come from general revenue.

199 I live in VA, voted no. Can't understand why the red areas continue to naively report their honest totals immediately after the polls close and let the blue areas hold back until they know exactly how many votes they need to pull out of a trunk or a flash drive to win.

200 Leftists are running people in the Republican primary in my area for all local races. Very few people bother voting in primaries. But it’s a very Republican area so the R wins these things 65-35. The gop primary is the defacto general election.

And democrats figure they’ll never win as democrats so why not try to win as “Republicans”. This woman I know from Nextdoor is running for state rep. She is a rabid Trump hater and is always posting shit about lgbtq++++++ rights and how teachers are the mostest bestest people on the planet . But she’s running as a super duper conservative.

She just might win too. Nobody pays attention at the local level they vote on name recognition. She has bombarded the area with signs. Who is paying for it? Doubt it’s her. Soros money probably.

The left never stops. They’re terminator always moving towards their goal.

201 TCM is running One Way Passage, a 1932 romantic drama about the romance between a doomed heiress and a condemned criminal. William Powell and Kay Francis.

Powell wore the hell of a fedora. And in real life, he got around. He was engaged to Jean Harlow before she died, and married to Carole Lombard -- and stayed friends with her after their divorce.

202 Coming back from Atlanta, after driving 600+ miles, the water pump in the 84 Vanagon crapped out, leaking profusely. About 70 miles from home in Washington, NC, pulled into a mechanic shop just as it was closing. The mechanic and his wife drove us home-all four of us. Of course I tipped them well and he had it fixed next day. He even knew how to "burp" the sensitive cooling system. Very kind and still remembered 30 years later.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at April 21, 2026 09:09 PM (utfVc)

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

Don't get me started on the PFD.

Conservative Former DOJ Prosecutor Joe DiGenova Sworn In as Special Consultant to Investigate the Russiagate Conspiracy

Cry moar, NYT:

U.S. Installs a Trump Loyalist to Lead 'Grand Conspiracy' Case Into Trump Foes

A former lawyer for President Trump's campaign, Joseph diGenova, is said to be planning to split time between Miami and Fort Pierce, where a grand jury overseen by a Trump-favored judge sits.

By Charlie Savage and Alan Feuer

As a sprawling inquiry expands into whether former federal officials committed crimes in investigating President Trump, two unusual factors could ease the way toward securing the indictments he craves.

A former lawyer for Mr. Trump's campaign, Joseph diGenova, has been selected to lead the inquiry after a career prosecutor in Miami was removed from that post this week, a senior law enforcement official said on Saturday.

And at least part of the investigation appears to be using a grand jury based in Fort Pierce, Fla., overseen by a federal judge, Aileen M. Cannon, who issued rulings favorable to Mr. Trump during the classified documents case against him, the official added. Mr. diGenova is expected to split his time between Miami and Fort Pierce.

Together, the moves show how the Justice Department under Mr. Trump's control has been willing to embrace politically charged tactics and unorthodox personnel decisions in its efforts to satisfy his demands to prosecute his perceived foes -- even as other prosecutors loyal to him have encountered forceful pushback from courts against his wide-ranging retribution campaign.

And what are they investigating? That's right, whether Democrat officials created a color change operation to remove a sitting president of the United States.

Mr. diGenova, 81, who served as a U.S. attorney in the Reagan era, has been given the title of counselor to the attorney general and detailed to the Southern District of Florida, where the U.S. attorney, Jason A. Reding Quiñones, another Trump loyalist, is supervising the inquiry.

Mr. diGenova's appointment comes after Maria Medetis Long, a senior career prosecutor in Miami who had been in charge of the investigation, was abruptly removed from the case. Ms. Medetis Long, who leads national security investigations for Mr. Quiñones's office, is said to have objected to moving forward with a portion of the inquiry focused on John O. Brennan, the former C.I.A. director.

The law enforcement official familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive internal issue.

Because Judge Cannon is the only federal jurist in the Fort Pierce courthouse, she could be in a position to make critical decisions if Mr. diGenova uses the grand jury there to subpoena documents or witness testimony and the recipients balk, asking her to quash the demands.

Judge Cannon was criticized by an appeals court in 2022 after she effectively stalled the investigation into Mr. Trump's mishandling of classified documents by appointing a so-called special master to sort through reams of materials seized from Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida. Later, Mr. Trump praised her lavishly, calling her "strong" and "brilliant," after she tossed out the indictment altogether, ruling that Jack Smith, the special counsel who filed the charges, had been improperly appointed.

Why did Trump have to reach outside the current DOJ corps of prosecutors?

Because Obama, and then Biden, purged every single older, experienced conservative prosecutor from the DOJ.

Bringing diGenova in for that role confirms something that I've long believed about the 2020s version of the Department of Justice -- the near complete purging of DOJ of anyone remotely resembling me between 2009 and 2025 has left the Department without a contingent of gray haired and/or balding older folks with conservative political views AND the experience and skill set needed to methodically piece together a very large jigsaw puzzle of evidence that involves dozens of primary players, hundreds of locations, and lasting over a decade in time. The exercise requires patience and a willingness to backtrack and go a different direction whenever you encounter an evidentiary dead-end. It does not lend itself to "head down bull-in-a-china-shop" youthful enthusiasm.

One thing I learned in handling 90+ cases involving January 6 defendants is that the roster of AUSAs across the country who I encountered looked nothing like me in my last 10 years with DOJ -- from age 42 to 52. The number of J6 cases prosecuted by DOJ was so large that the AUSAs working in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office were unable to handle them all. The Biden DOJ put out a "tasking" to all U.S. Attorneys' Offices across the country to designate a certain number of AUSAs from their offices to be assigned to handle J6 cases. I personally handled cases that had AUSAs assigned to them who worked in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Mexico, Chicago, New York, Boston, and Tampa -- just as a sample.

The majority were women from their late 20s to their late 30s. To the extent I was able to discern their "politics" through conversation or taking the time to learn more about them online, they were uniformly liberal progressives -- not a single exception that I can recall.

Similarly, the male AUSAs I encountered -- with only 1-2 exceptions who were well into their 40s -- were pretty obviously liberal progressives.

I do not recall a single encounter -- across 90+ cases -- where the AUSA ever let on or suggested any kind of political "alignment" with the January 6 defendants as a group. I don't mean comments that might have excused the conduct or criticized the Biden Admin. approach to the prosecutions -- I don't recall a single comment that could have been construed as suggesting the AUSA was a Republican who supported Pres. Trump during his time in office in his first term.

diGenova was sued after he said publicly that a former Trump administration official who didn’t back the election lies “should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot."

The official sued him and diGenova was forced to apologize.

So: an über-loyalist. https://t.co/oWbMQdA3kq

Jake Tapper has faithfully amplified every Democrat party hoax imaginable.

Here he is propagating the Russia Hoax on behalf of his preferred political party.

"Election lies," Jakey?

Remember, this guy wrote a book called The Plot to Steal the Presidency -- about Bush's theft of Al Gore's presidency -- but has since then piously instructed us that one should never, ever say a presidency was stolen.

But US intelligence warned in 2020 that our election system was wide open to foreign compromise.

Months before the 2020 presidential election, U.S. intelligence issued a secret but stark warning that foreign adversaries had the capability to "compromise" America's voting infrastructure and raised specific concerns about the vulnerability of voter registration databases that later would be penetrated by China and Iran, a newly declassified memo obtained by Just the News shows.

The National Intelligence Council's (NIC) concerns were so extensive that officials personally briefed President Donald Trump at the White House in February 2020, according to photos obtained by Just the News showing top CIA, FBI and Homeland Security officials joining with NIC analysts to inform the president.

But the American public was never fully alerted, even after evidence emerged that China had gained access to voter registration data in multiple states and had even sent fake driver's licenses to the United States in a bid to help Joe Biden win the election, officials said.

"We judge that US adversaries, including, at a minimum, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure for the 2020 presidential election," the NIC wrote in the memo dated Jan. 15, 2020.

"Adversaries gaining access to US election-related systems could disrupt the voting process, steal sensitive data, or undermine confidence in the election results, but we do not know whether any of them have specific plans to manipulate election-related systems," the memo added.

The document was recently declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who continues to expose examples of the intelligence community suppressing or misusing intelligence.
