Elvis Presley’s Graceland Unveils Big Plans For ‘All-American’ 4th of July Event

Elvis Presley‘s Graceland is getting ready to have a major celebration this 4th of July.

In honor of America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Graceland is hosting an “All-American Weekend” from July 3 to July 5, where fans will be able to see Elvis’ iconic Memphis estate like never before as it getes lit up in red, white and blue.

According to the official Graceland website, this year’s fourth of July celebration will include include two “electrifying” concerts, including a performance from The Dreamboats, who are slated to “bring their electrifying, high-energy celebration of 1950s and ’60s rock ‘n’ roll to the Graceland Soundstage for a night that will have you on your feet from the first note.”

There will also be a tribute concert from Jimmy Holmes and Patt Dunn, who are expected to “bring Elvis’ greatest hits to life — from rock ‘n’ roll classics to unforgettable ballads and Vegas-era favorites.”

USA flag booed before World Cup 2026 opening game in Mexico City

The United States flag appeared to be met with loud boos and jeers before the opening game of the World Cup in Mexico City.

Ahead of the big kick-off between Mexico and South Africa, the flags of all 48 teams participating in this summer’s tournament were paraded onto the pitch.

The final three flags to take to the pitch were those of the three North American co-hosts, the United States, Canada and Mexico.

However, there was a marked change in atmosphere when the United States were introduced and their flag was displayed on the stadium’s big screen.

From jubilant roars, the noise of the crowd shifted, with loud boos audible as the flag of the United States was brought forward.

First of all, it's a field not a pitch. Secondly, go fuck yourselves.

Never said that they were- that is why I said 'thought tribe'.

Just me, but i think 'free thought' is bullshit. It is not like we are flipping a coin on issues and who knows where it will land. Our thinking is informed and shaped by what we believe in. What we value. That is not 'free.'

43 Mexico and the US are, uh, not friends in soccer. They think it's their sport and are mad that the US took being better at it away from them. US soccer fans think they're awfully entitled for a team that hasn't done better than we have.

If a Mexican fan boos the flag, shout 'Dos-a-cero' at them. They'll understand. Maybe want to fight too, depending on beer level, but they'll understand.

103 Mexico and the US are, uh, not friends in soccer. They think it's their sport and are mad that the US took being better at it away from them. US soccer fans think they're awfully entitled for a team that hasn't done better than we have.

If a Mexican fan boos the flag, shout 'Dos-a-cero' at them. They'll understand. Maybe want to fight too, depending on beer level, but they'll understand.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A Bloomington man told police he’d been disassembling his handgun while drinking Jim Beam whiskey when the loaded firearm discharged and punched through his dining room wall.

Next door, his neighbor was peacefully crocheting in her living room when the bullet struck her in the arm. Fortunately, the projectile had lost most of its velocity and didn’t break skin, though it did cause her pain.

The Bloomington Police Department arrested Kaleb Ford, 21, of Bloomington on Tuesday. He was charged in Monroe County court with criminal recklessness, a Level 5 felony.

Finally decided to talk politics with my wife who I've been married to for 19 years at the end of the month.

She thinks I'm a monster because I don't believe in the magic dirt theory of citizenship when she brought up that one of her soccer player patients was born here while his parents were in grad school, and when they were done, went back to Paraguay when he was 6 months old and hasn't been back until a few months ago when he came to play pro soccer here.

Thanks! So, I think I'm getting a handle on where the con artists are going. They've settled on Jew Hatred, and using Zionism, AIPAC, and Epstein Class as euphemisms.

Every confidence scheme needs a core lie -- if it were all true with no trick, then it would just be business -- and they generally recycle ones with proven track records. Jew hatred is one of those, infamously.

And the Jeffrey Epstein situation is tailor-made for their tricks, since he's a dead and much-hyped Jew, who did not do as much as people suspected. Turns out he was a sex-trafficking client, mostly of women of age in New York (17+), not a pimp.

He was a deal-maker, and used his girls as eye candy and party favors to grease deals. And since he did not sell their butts, the Epstein Files that were unprecedentedly released are it. This is the full client list:

* Jeffrey Epstein

That's it. But with rhetoric, if you're explaining then you're losing. So it's a perfect situation for conmen to swoop in and make claims that take explaining to debunk, and also he's too dead to answer questions himself.

I rate this as true. Liberal chicks are surrounded by loser dudes emoting and trying to show how they are totally NOT toxically masculine and hate guns and stuff. A dude who rolls up and is like "Hell yeah, I got guns, I do guy stuff!" immediately gets their attention.

Maybe I'm showing my age here, but back in the day, it was axiomatic that leftist chicks were easy.

But that was before they all became angry lesbians.

No. It has been extensively documented that many lesbians choose to be that way due to their politics. Some get over it, grow out their hair, get married and have lots of kids.

Female sexuality is much more fluid than male.

When lesbianism was fringe and weird, they were straight.

Another factor: body positivity. Fat chicks are off the chain these days, have been for a decade or more. Watching older movies has me reflecting on how grotesque people look today. Sidney Greenstreet, aka "The Fat Man" has a Dad Bod by today's standards.

I know liberal guys who married liberal gals and despite complete ideological alignment, she still divorced because reasons. Usually she out-earned him. That is a huuge issue, especially among leftists who have zero investment in marriage as an institution.

It can work if they are religious because she accepts marriage as a moral obligation, but even then if she's liberal, religion has to yield to her need for the pool boy or hanging out with her divorced girlfriends at the bar.

You would like to hear where she is coming from, you would like to feel heard too, with the understanding no one is trying to change minds or prove points. But if this isn’t the time, that is okay.

Host Jen Psaki: “You have gotten under Donald Trump’s skin; you could see that we played a sample of that. I think he called you a thug. I don’t even know, repeatedly today we played some of it and he said, you are ‘Worse than any human being that’s ever run for office probably.’ What did you think when you heard that?”

Platner: “Well, coming from certainly the worst person to have ever run for office, I take it as an immense compliment.”

Psaki: “It must feel pretty ludicrous to be lectured to your point by this president over morality.”

Platner: “Yeah, it’s, it’s at the end of the day, it just comes down to the fact that Donald Trump knows that I’m going to go to the United States Senate to try to hold him and all of his corrupt cronies accountable. That’s the entire point of this.

I come from an atheist family. I am NOT an atheist. I can attest that atheists do not believe in forgiveness. I have watched my sister torture her memories to blot out anything that might be embarrassing, including an entire marriage. I have had my sisters spout out bilge to one another over things we did as children, as evidence of... IDK... character? Leftists are by definition not religious. They can never be wrong, even when they are awfully wrong. Their self-loathing comes out in waves as projection on anyone or anything they can spew it at. They must be perfect, at all times, and obviously superior to anyone around themselves. It is diabolical and soul-slavery. It leads to misery.

A lot of leftists have bent religion to their ideology (see also Anglicans, United Methodists, etc.), and so their faith and politics are in perfect alignment.

There are also the Pelosi/Biden Catholics, who flout their religion and dare anyone to say anything. When Francis was pope, they got away with it. But the liberal Catholic clergy are a dying breed, and things will get interesting going forward.

And, as expected, it's nothing like anything from this solar system. They discovered it's high in methane and methanol. The methane didn't show up until well after it heated up from the sun. And the deuterium ratios in the water and methane is very high. It's very alien indeed.

All of that has bumped up the age range estimate to 10 - 12 billion years old, well over twice the age of our own solar system.

They were until the full effects of the 19th Amendment shook out.

Basically in the Patriarchy citizenship was derived from the husband and father. Immigrant marries an American man - instant citizenship for her and her kids. Conversely an American woman marries an immigrant - she instantly gets his citizenship...
As late as 2000 the Standard Form was available on line for women to reclaim their US citizenship that they lost decades before when they married a foreigner. I don't know when that effect of the 19th shook out. Probably before living memory.

"in many places and in ordinary times, the defendants, in saying all that was said in the circular, would have been within their constitutional rights. But the character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done." In this case, Holmes said, "the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent."

And then Obama came along, and all that was systematically dismantled because Democrats were losing the working class and needed monolithic black support to shore them up.

They hate Trump because he has bypassed their gatekeepers, which is why you had Obama begging black men to vote for Kamala.

Former Left-Wing Girlfriend: Gerald Platner Cheated With Me on His Fiance (Whom He Hid From Me), Said He Got a Nazi Tattoo to Remind Him That the US Was "the Bad Guy" In Foreign Policy, and Also, Has "Small Dick"

Oh man, they always throw in that last one.

Or so I've heard. From others.

I heard Larry O'Connor promise yesterday that more is coming.

Here's a little more.


Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner kept his hideous Nazi tattoo to remind himself "the US was the evil bad guy overseas," according to an ex-girlfriend with whom he cheated on his fiancée in 2021.

The left-wing streamer, who spoke to The Post, is the second woman to say that Platner knew about the fascist origin of his Totenkopf skull and crossbones tattoo -- despite his claims that he didn't realize it was a Third Reich symbol until last fall.

Her assertions were backed up by texts reviewed by The Post that she'd sent to her mom in September 2025 in which she blasted him for his "Nazi tattoo," "small d--k" and claims that he tarnished her reputation by using her to step out on his fiancée.

The woman also offered allegations Platner cheated on a second partner before his current wife -- a now-ex-fiancée he was engaged to around that time.

"As a person who is a leftist, I immediately looked at him and asked him, 'Is that a Totenkopf?' and he told me a whole, 'he will hold this weight forever' bravado sob story about how it was, but he decided to keep it as a reminder that the United States was the evil, bad guy overseas," she recounted.

The woman spoke to The Post on the condition her name not be used.

On Wednesday, the woman publicly shared screenshots of private messages where she described the Nazi tattoo. The messages to her mother were dated Sept. 26, 2025 -- before his tattoo was publicly known.

"Better not take a peek at the Nazi tattoo on his chest," she wrote in another message to a pal.

...

"It seems like he tailored his answer to me, knowing my politics, since that's one of the reasons we matched on Tinder in the first place," she reflected.

...

She alleges that their romance together ended after she found out from mutual friends that Platner was engaged to another woman around that time.

...

The whistleblower told The Post she never wanted to come forward with her story but became concerned by what she saw as Platner's lying to the people of Maine about his tattoo, and a pattern of behavior toward women she saw in recent news reports.

She said she does not have her old texts with Platner because she deleted all his messages when she found out he was cheating.

...

Earlier this month, another former flame of Platner's, Lyndsey Fifield, told The New York Times that he was lying when he claimed to be unaware of the Nazi tattoo, recounting how he'd call it "my Totenkopf."

"I would never have known what that was," she told the outlet. "He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo."

The outlet reviewed messages from Fifield last summer where she told friends that he "has a Nazi tattoo on his chest." She said he told her he got it because "they were like a death unit, they were killers" and he saw parallels to the Nazi SS.

Major Smallcock continues insisting that while his girlfriends and adultery-partners knew his tattoo was a Totenkopf, he did not. Because these girls didn't tell him, a "military buff" who actually chose the tattoo, what it was.


"I certainly didn't know," he added. "They didn't tell me that. Or maybe they did, but I was sobbing so hard over my pitifully small pecker I didn't hear them."

I may have added some vibes to that quote.

Princess Tinymeat is also lying about working. He does not work. He just sits in bed all day and wishes his dainty micropenis could satisfy an ant.


Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner claimed that he has been able to "make a living on the sea" since leaving the armed forces during a Friday rally, an assertion his financial disclosures don't appear to support.

Platner, who is running for Senate in Maine to unseat incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins, has long identified himself as an oyster farmer and harbor master, giving a blue-collar tinge to his left-wing campaign. Financial disclosures, however, show that he brings in relatively little money from oyster farming, with reports suggesting that Platner receives the majority of his income through veteran's disability payments.

"My healthcare gave me freedom," Platner said at a June 5 rally. "It gave me the freedom to take risks, to start a business and to sink my intellect and my physicality into mastering the skills necessary to make a living on the sea."

Platner's comments drew ire on social media, with many questioning the Senate hopeful's claim to working-class identity.

Platner's 2025 financial disclosures show that he listed "other $5,001" as his annual income from farming oysters. The candidate's entire business is only worth between $50,000 and $100,000, which accounts for his boat, lines, anchors and other farming equipment, per the disclosure.

He earned an additional $3,000 serving as the harbor master for Sullivan, Maine, -- a role the Washington Free Beacon reported was largely clerical and where he was responsible for overseeing the 17 boat moorings on the small town's coast.

Taken together, these sums are dwarfed by the $4,800 Platner says he receives through monthly disability payments. Platner is legally entitled to such a sum owing to injuries he suffered while serving in the armed forces.

"I've got a couple herniated discs. My shoulder's a wreck. My knees bother me. My dick looks like a tiny work poking its head up out of a bush," Platner, who saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, told News Center Maine in an October 2025 interview.

I may have added a little to Captain Bugfucker's quote.

Despite his reliance on disability, Platner has consistently referred to himself as an "oyster farmer" while campaigning for Senate.

"Oyster" = his tiny subwiener, "farmer" = masturbator

Update: Although that whistleblower says she deleted her texts, someone on twitter published this alleged text chain about Private Shamenoodle. He didn't tell me who supposedly wrote these.

textseyal.jpg

"He's hot"? Sounds like bullshit. He looks like Captain Taggert in Beverly Hills Cock, with extra room in the crotch of his pants.

Meanwhile, Jodi Kantor, who got lots of attention as a #MeToo "reporter" -- I think she was played by the brown-haired wallflower actress in She Said, because she's a brown-hairdd wallflower-- and savaged Brett Kavanaugh for the invented Hippocampus Confabulations of Christie Blowjob Ford, now says that Gerald Platner's history of assaulting women is no big deal because you know what? Women fucking lie, don't they?

Jennifer Sey
@JenniferSey

9h

Jodi Kantor is going with the "he was just a bad boyfriend, he didn't do anything wrong" defense of Platner.

This is shameless. This woman wrote "She Said" about Harvey Weinstein's history of abuse and sexual misconduct. We were supposed to believe women.

Kantor seems willing to burn her own reputation to the ground to defend Graham Platner -- seriously? this guy? -- and to remain in good standing as a Democrat.

Pathetic.


Women always be lyin' about men that dumped them, you know?

jimtreacher.substack.com
@jtLOL

Jodi Kantor completely waves away Lyndsey Fifield's accusations of Platner's physical abuse.

"There was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but..."

Yeah, Jodi, good point. Other than the violence, there was no violence.


If you never saw She Said you are part of the 99.9% of real humanity.

If you watch a few minutes of Despot of Antrim's video about it, you'll get the gist. (Coincidentally, I just clicked on this over the weekend, randomly. It's funny. The takedown, I mean.)

Update: Jonathan Turley:


Some people just like classic Coke. Others insisted on the original Reese's recipe. New York Times writer Jodi Kantor went on CNN to explain why Democrats can vote for Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner despite multiple women coming forward to denounce him: this is really not the classic Me Too allegations that Kantor and others seem to prefer for outrage.

Kantor won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse and was called forth by CNN to explain why it is ok for liberals to support an alleged abuser of women. A prior girlfriend has accused Platner of physically abusing her and even locking her into a room overnight. He is also accused of sexting women and dismissing rape victims.

None of that, however, necessarily presents a barrier for those who want to retake power by any means necessary.

Kantor clinically explained that these "are not classic MeToo accusations." Specifically, "they're not about a boss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances. They were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships. There are these, like, very sensational texts about sex. There are allegations from former girlfriends that are not -- the way my colleagues reported them were not like classic abuse allegations," she stressed.

In a statement that would have produced a torrent of condemnations if used during the Kavanaugh controversy, Kantor insisted that "they were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw. His character was scary. He had this Nazi tattoo. Et cetera."

In fairness to Kantor, she was attempting no small feat: to allow liberals to continue to claim Me Too outrage while grabbing Maine.

Of course, Kantor quickly brushes over the other controversies beyond the abuse allegations as simply a Nazi tattoo. She omits his mocking of a wounded veteran, rural people, and rape victims while praising Hamas and embracing communism.

However, her diminishing of the account of women like Lyndsay Fifield as "they were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw."

What Fifield alleges that she "saw" were marks left on their body after being yanked and grabbed by Platner. In one case, she claimed "he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn't get out, telling her to remain there until she was 'calm.'"

Kantor seems to begrudgingly acknowledge that "there was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but I think that means that these are pretty different accusations than, say, the one that -- the ones that President Trump faced."

Previously, Kantor did not draw this distinction between classic Me Too and new knockoffs involving non-employment situations. She once grouped a wide variety of controversies from Al Franken to Brett Kavanaugh to Jeffrey Epstein under the banner...

Ironically, Kantor's rationalization returns to the very partisan "older pattern" that she once denounced in how allegations from women are treated in the media.

Like the Trump assault charge -- anyone familiar with Bergdorf in the 90s would know that it was impossible. The sales people work on commission and the high end mens dept is like a lounge where you sit and are surrounded by staff.

Likewise, it is impossible to get a nazi tattoo without knowing. This flash is hidden out of sight and has to be requested (except for biker shops, where everything is nazi.) The artist will tell you and make it very clear. No one "accidentally" gets a totenkopf.

But the media will never report reality, and instead allows people to wallow in their ignorance.

Ahhhh. Another indicator of what you want in a senator. You want the dummy who didn't know the symbol, but then realized the symbol's significance and said, "I think I'll maintain this since it reminds me that America is evil and I hate its f*cking guts."

That's the American senator I want. Representation that hates the country. He's The Best!

Because nobody flipped out on the CPAC stage being roughly the shape of an ancient Teutonic symbol sometimes appropriated by the Nazis, right?

These would be points, if everybody has as bad a memory as you do (Grim).

The symbol prominent among skinheads and Nazi camp sharp-shooters isn't as bad as a Swastika.

150 CBC News: His controversies include a Nazi tattoo. Why Democrats are still standing by Senate candidate Graham Platner

Democratic strategist Christy Selzer said "Platner's challenges, no matter how deep, are small compared to those created each day by the Trump administration, which has Senator Collins' steadfast support." "Flawed candidate (Platner) versus supporter of the end of democracy (Collins) seems like an easy call."

His story that he and a bunch of young Marines walked into a tattoo shop and pointed at the meanest skull on the wall makes total sense to me. The right likes it cos it allows them to call him a Nazi instead of addressing his policies.

It's also hilarious since Musk did a Nazi salute during a speech and Hegseth's entire time in command and tattoo are about a million times more blatant.

Nothing wrong with that tattoo. It’s just a skull and cross bones which any young military person could think is cool

Hopeful Applicant: Well, I abuse women. Sometimes I masturbate in Porto Potties, I have a Nazi Tattoo. I'm an admitted communist. I incessantly cheat on women. I lie about employment. I laugh at fellow soldiers getting killed. I mock rural white Americans and law enforcement whenever I can.

208 Mike Castle in Delaware 2010 was awful. Lost his primary to the witch because he couldn't help himself from expressing his disdain for Republican-voting plebs.
The witch obviously wasn't a winner either but she'd never had got that far if Castle hadn't been an uberdouche.

HHS Investigating Terror PR Organization CAIR Over Possible Misuse of Federal Funds

Apparently this has to do with using federal dollars -- why are we giving CAIR any money? -- to pay for some kind of sketchy, unaccredited "Afghan Legal Services" fund.

What?!?!

You want to know if this is a misuse of federal taxpayer money? Well I'm glad you came to me. It is. Obviously.


The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is investigating the Council on American Islamic Relations-California in response to a request made by a congressional delegation led by outgoing U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.

In April, the delegation called on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suspend funding for CAIR-CA and its affiliates and initiate debarment proceedings. It was done after a Department of Justice investigation was launched more than a year ago into alleged misuse of federal funds related to Afghan refugees.

"CAIR's longstanding ties to terrorist organizations, including Hamas -- a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization -- combined with documented financial mismanagement and misuse of federal grant funds administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), pose a grave risk to national security and render CAIR unfit to receive taxpayer dollars," the delegation argued, The Center Square reported.

The DOJ investigation was launched in response to a March 2025 Intelligent Advocacy Network complaint filed with the DOJ urging it to investigate CAIR-CA's alleged misuse of federal funds and EOIR accreditation violations. It questions millions of dollars CAIR-CA received from the federal government including for an Afghan Legal Services Project, alleges CAIR-LA is not a legal 501c3 entity, alleges accreditation violations, and alleges CAIR ties to Islamic terrorism. In response, the DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review launched an investigation.

HHS Assistant Secretary Gustav Chiarello on Tuesday contacted California Gov. Gavin Newswom requesting cooperation. He reiterated that HHS has the legal authority to suspend or debar recipients of federal grant funds from participating in federal welfare programs if violations are confirmed.

The California Department of Social Services "has sub-granted more than $27 million in HHS-originated funds to CAIR-CA for Afghan refugee and entrant assistance programs," he said. "Congressman Chip Roy and other members of Congress have informed HHS that there may be connections between CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood and its Palestinian branch, Hamas," a designated foreign terrorist organization.

So, once again, we have a "cleanskin" NGO taking government money and then immediately sub-granting it to a highly controversial organization that no government agency, even one controlled by Democrats, would ever fund directly, because they know the public outcry would be enormous.

So they continue allowing these NGOs to quietly, softly funnel money into what are completely inappropriate and often illegal (the Wuhan Covid Lab) purposes.

50 *biden's HHS was implicated in the human trafficking of over 300K minors into slavery/sex here in the US.

I'd take HHS reports of what they're doing with a grain, or a million of salt. DHS has been on the case. Over 100K minors found out of 300K+ abducted by our government and their NGO's. News today from DHS.

It's sickening.

Not to mention the serial rape of millions of "migrant" girls and women deliberately brought over the southern border during the Biden years.

This.

There is no reason to have multi-level granting. Each NGO, such as they exist, can apply for its own money. Every dollar needs to be traceable. It's clear that the sub-granting is a well-worn technique to purposely abuse the granting system.

But on the downside it becomes more honest and transparent without the N.

But the thing was Fannie and Freddie Mac were both "NGO"s, because they were not officially government organizations. And even back then you would put something into an NGO that you didn't want steered by partisan shifts.

So having the burden fall to the government after going into receivership also really stretched the N.

It was him, as I remember, who pushed so hard for government money going to religious organizations for humanitarian work.

It sounded like a fine idea at first, but so much of that money has gone to bringing in and establishing hostile immigrants that the entire program needs to be canned.

Lutheran and Catholic Refugee Services (and every other denomination I'm missing) have screwed the country with the amounts of Somalis and other problem cultures they have brought in on the taxpayers' dime.

I have been saying that CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization that should be listed as a terror group, proscribed, have its assets seized, and its employees arrested... since I was a fucking teenager.

Forget the obscenity of federal funding. The fact that a dumb hillbilly teen could see through this obvious foreign terror group, and it's been allowed to operate on our soil *at all* for all these years tells you all you need to know about our ruling class and their loyalties.

It's Official: Doctor Who Christmas Winter Holiday Special Cancelled

You may be thinking: You already did this story, mate.

Well -- I don't think so, mate. I did a similar story, about no actor wanting to touch this franchise with a 10 foot pole.

But now it's official -- the Christmas Pagan Winter Festival Special is now cancelled.

They're not admitting -- yet -- that the entire series is now in the ashbin of history, but that's coming soon.

And gay producer Russell T Davies exits the series. I wouldn't make an issue of his sexuality, except for the fact he made his sexuality the main animating ethos of the series. So it's relevant -- he's gay, he's really really really proud of gay "Pride" culture, and he made a science-fiction show for children all about homosexuality, transgenderism, and Queer Culture.

And now he's out.

But they would have kept him on if they could land an actor to play the Fabulous Doctor.

The BBC is no longer going ahead with a "Doctor Who" Christmas special this year as planned and is seeking new production partners.

"Seeking new production partners" = our former investors are no longer willing to shovel money into this Pit of Shame.


Showrunner and writer Russell T Davies and producer Bad Wolf have officially exited the series as the BBC puts the show out to competitive tender. "'Doctor Who' remains an important part of the BBC and this tender underpins the BBC's continued commitment to 'Doctor Who' ensuring audiences will enjoy the show for years to come," a release said on Wednesday.

LOL. If BBC were really "committed" to the show they would fund it itself, not seek corporations willing to throw their money away to subsidize the dead show.

Therefore, the previously announced Christmas special will also not be going forward. "This decision was not taken lightly, and we know it will be disappointing for fans, but in order to set the show up for future series, it was decided that rather than bridge the gap with a one-off special, we are choosing to push forward to invest in the long-term future of the show which ensures that when the TARDIS lands once more, it does so in all its glory," the release stated.

You know who was fond of making announcements about upcoming projects? Kaffeine Kennedy, formerly of LucasFilm. She loved announcing new shows and movies. Cost her almost no money at all, so she didn't have to get approval from Disney corporate to "announce" a new trilogy to be directed by Patty Jenkins. Or Rian Round-Head Johnson. Or Kevin Fiege. Or... you get it.

You know who's also announcing a new Doctor Who series? I am. I'm announcing a new series which I'll be producing once rights issues are worked out with the BBC, and I get funding.

My series is just as likely to make it to air as this BBC/Corporate Partner TBD series.


In a post on Instagram, Davies said goodbye to the show, which he led from 2005 to 2010 and again since 2023 in tandem with BBC's co-production pact with Disney+. When Ncuti Gatwa departed the role of the Doctor after just two seasons last year, Disney+ exited the partnership and the series' future has remained uncertain ever since.

Well the series' future is no longer uncertain because I'm stepping up to produce it. Didn't you see my announcement? I am totally committed to my vision of this show.

Speaking of stories I've already covered: A couple of Fridays ago, I said that The Marmaduke & Garfield would fall into third place in its second weekend of exhibition. No Star Wars movie has ever fallen out of first place in its second weekend, but it was clear that The Mermaid & Gorgon would.

Well it did, but I didn't bother posting about it because I wanted to give you a break from the, I'll admit it, Endless Gay Fanboy Bullshit.

And then I didn't even mention it this week when The Marzipan and Fondu fell to sixth place, after the low-budget and apparently lame Scary Movie was released, as well as the gay toy revival Masters of the Universe. (Which is apparently decent, but... c'mon, He-Man hasn't been relevant since 1989.)

It'll fall further when Steven Spielberg's latest misfire, Disclosure Day, opens tomorrow.

Before the release of the latest Star Wars bomb, the studio bragged that it had a smallish budget of about $165 million. Studios never brag about how cheap their movies are, but Disney wanted to avoid headlines about the new Star Wars movie losing money.

But they didn't keep the budget low enough:

Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu is currently projected to finish its global theatrical run slightly shy of the $300 million mark, hovering around an estimated $293 million to $296 million worldwide.

The film opened on May 22, 2026, and after a surprisingly soft theatrical run--struggling against stiff competition from smaller-budget and viral-phenomenon films like Scary Movie and Backrooms--it has severely underperformed compared to other live-action Star Wars features.

Remember, another $80 million was spent on advertising and prints and theaters take about 50% of the box office, so this is another Star Wars movie that doesn't just underperform, but actually loses money.

Thank you for indulging me.

Here's some more relevant media news: Former 60 Minutes bitches bitch about Bari Weiss, a left-wing Obama-voting lesbian who is nevertheless too "far right" to be allowed a job in the totally-objective and impartial American corporate media.


Former '60 Minutes' Staffers Unload on Bari Weiss: 'Everything She's Touched Has Turned to S--'

As Bari Weiss lays waste to "60 Minutes," six former staffers sound off on the damage she's inflicted upon the crown jewel of CBS News.


Staffers have taken to calling it "Black Thursday."

On May 28, a half-dozen senior producers and correspondents at "60 Minutes," the longest-running and highest-rated news program in the country, were unceremoniously shown the door....

I spoke with six former "60 Minutes" staffers, including award-winning correspondents, producers and executives, about the chaos that's unfolded there under Weiss, a former op-ed columnist and founder of The Free Press who had no broadcast journalism -- and scant investigative reporting -- experience prior to being given the keys to CBS News.

"We have to acknowledge that '60 Minutes' needed a bit of a facelift, and there were potentially positive ways to improve the program, but it's the way they have gone about it," a former "60 Minutes" staffer says. "You don't give a facelift with a fucking machete."

...

Steve Kroft, who was a "60 Minutes" correspondent for 30 years until retiring in 2019, echoes Bergman's assessment. He believes that Trump has had it out for the newsmagazine since the Harris piece, and that Ellison and Weiss haven't demonstrated a desire to stand up to him. Ellison is, after all, still seeking FCC approval of Paramount-Skydance's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Oh, that old fat queen is upset, too? Bonus.

The shrieking hysterics of 60 Minutes continue demonstrating the emotional restrain of Broadway drag queens.

Lesley Stahl Says Journalists Getting Fired Is Worse Than Child Trafficking, Nazi Torture Dungeons


'Oh God, this was awful,' multimillionaire laments after corporation restructures to compete in dying industry


Lesley Stahl has seen a lot of horrible things over the course of her career at 60 Minutes, but none of it can compare to the horror she experienced watching her fellow journalists lose their jobs for being obnoxious.

"Oh God, this was awful," Stahl told Puck when asked about the half dozen veteran producers and personalities who were fired along with Scott Pelley, the veteran newsreader and combat survivor dismissed for insubordination. "This was by far the worst experience I've been involved in, or even witnessed."

The worst experience she's ever even witnessed. By far. The Puck reporter observed that Stahl's voice "trailed off, as if she was still having trouble processing what had happened during the past week or so."

Stahl is 84--even older than Joe Biden. She lived through 9/11 and the Jimmy Carter administration. She witnessed the self-inflicted debasement of her former colleague Dan Rather after he reported on forged documents purporting to cast doubt on President George W. Bush's service in the National Guard. That was pretty bad.

What else might the iconic journalist have experienced in her career that was almost, but not quite, as traumatizing as corporate restructuring in a dying industry?

Well, Stahl's first story as a 60 Minutes correspondent was about child trafficking in Romania after the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu. She visited a family that wanted to sell their four-year-old son for $500 to buy a camcorder. The following year, Stahl interviewed survivors of Josef Mengele's twisted human experiments at Auschwitz. In 2020, she was forced to endure interviews with Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt, cofounders of the much-maligned Lincoln Project super PAC.

It's entirely plausible that Stahl was more disturbed upon learning that a handful of journalists had been fired by CBS. After all, she is a journalist, and many journalists have described Pelley's termination alone as one the greatest tragedies to befall mankind.

...

It's also possible that Stahl has mild to moderate dementia. Perhaps she can't remember watching parents negotiate to sell their children for color TVs. Her more recent output, on the other hand, is composed almost entirely of what industry insiders might call "vacuous fluffery."

Over the last few years, Stahl has examined the benefits of "gender affirming care," documented former congresswoman Liz Cheney's abiding hatred for Donald Trump, and extolled the (alleged) comedy of former Daily Show host Trevor Noah. Despite her reluctance to "become part of the story," Stahl performed a 60 Minutes monologue about her personal battle with COVID-19--a potentially harrowing ordeal given her advanced age, but less so given her exorbitant net worth.

Stahl encountered more traumatic experiences in 2025 while interviewing Yarden Bibas, an Israeli taken hostage by Hamas whose wife and two sons were killed in captivity. It's not entirely clear if Stahl viewed the hostages as victims, given her egregious attempts to empathize with the Hamas terrorists.

13 CNN -- State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.

That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting. If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections — and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.

I think we will ultimately have to go in for the nuke dust, but I don't know what that means in terms of logistics. Heck, for all I know the only hold-up is working on inventing a way to track drone-control signals down to the source for precision strikes.

Indeed, for all I know, that technology already exists. I'm not plugged in. So maybe he's just not used to dealing with the clinically insane, and is stringing them along from force of habit, not having realized yet that he can't outlast them with his super-alpha stress resistance. But that should end up in an intelligence report eventually, if it's the case.

But until we have the nuclear material out, it won't end.

61 I've never watched Dr. Who, but the obligatory DEI and implausible race roles are really f*cking annoying.

I watched Spider Noir, which started good and then kind of went off the rails, and it was totally absurd that two of the three main characters, in 1933 New York; were "people of color."

This has gotten so old. It's like the show I saw set in the post Soviet Revolution Russia twenties with like a twenty percent black cast.

Was it the accents, or just the SciFi gibberish? Some old British shows are very hard for me to understand because of the very heavy accents and slang. I tried to watch an old Dad's Army episode and I couldn't understand a damn thing they were saying. I don't have this problem with most British shows of the last couple of decades.

The specials were traditionally shown on Christmas Day as an event and gift from the BBC to kids and Doctor Who fans.

Some of the episodes do have a Christmas theme, but nothing specifically about Jesus. They’re mostly just a snowy/wintery setting with vague holiday festival themes, especially the recent specials.

The most recent one gave up Christmas entirely and was aired on New Years day, IIRC.

90 It really feels like RTD intentionally sabotaged the first black doctor. He gave the best stories to his muse, wrote Ncuti as if he were the companion and secondary character in almost half the episodes, and made all these decisions that came off weird and even unnecessarily racially charged like giving Ncuti a different sonic screwdriver because he didn't want to invoke images of the doctor shooting a gun.

Ncuti Gatwa was a great Doctor but focusing on magic was such an odd choice, and one that wholly did not fit the series. The shows had all this extra money, and that just seemed to be a shackle. They went bigger instead of being forced to be creative.

Spend twice the percentage of the budget that a normal TV show spends on writing. That's what matters on *Doctor Who*. Not a a star trek fan (yet), but it seems like its the same for them. No one can write single episodes anymore apparently.

I dont understand why people saying the show need a rest. What does accomplish? Find good writers and showrunner and you'll never need a rest.

And this is very much the problem with so much of modern entertainment.

So, I finished plowing through all the Rocky movies over the last week or so.

A good time. I recommend it.

I had some surprises in the rewatch, so I'll just give you how I would now rank them:

Rocky
Rocky 3/ Rocky Balboa
Rocky 5
Rocky 2
Rocky 4

These ranking are based on them as movies.

The top 4 all had very clean, clear, organic, mostly linear stories.
The top three are also feel good movies which is nice.
Rocky 5 is a feel bad movie and really not worthy of the final Rocky movie, which is was intended to be. Rocky winds up poor, brain-damaged, and he wins a street fight, soooo back to being a street bum. What were they thinking. That said it's a very well-written, well-directed and acted movie. It doesn't deserve its lousy reputation.

Rocky 2 and 4 start off with a great concept and nuthin' else. The plotting and characters are all over the place as they try to fill out enough time to make it a movie. They feel very fake even though you like how they end.

That's it. Check them out. They're all streaming on netflix.

138 I relish the ithought that these delusional idiots may actually think that Trump is behind all these changes to their dumpster fire industry. I can only hope that their burning hatred of Trump continues to eat away at their black soul and makes their every waking hour and sleeping nightmares a living hell. Makes me kinda giddy.

But at the same time I hope there are the occasional flashes of reality every once in awhile where they think "Well maybe we are the boorish, elitist hacks that 85% of the country thinks (knows) we are?"

139 Rocky 5 is a feel bad movie and really not worthy of the final Rocky movie, which is was intended to be. Rocky winds up poor, brain-damaged, and he wins a street fight, soooo back to being a street bum. What were they thinking. That said it's a very well-written, well-directed and acted movie. It doesn't deserve its lousy reputation.

I mostly agree. Rocky is older, and the movies were more about character drama than the boxing itself, so it made sense to move away from the "big fight" focus of every film. More importantly, it was "loosely" based on Mike Tyson's rise to fame, and Don King being a slimy promoter, so it was much more relevant when released, and tells a pretty familiar story in athletics and entertainment.

There is some very good British TV, and lots of dreck, just like in USA.

They have a tendency to be great at adaptations of fiction (Le Carre, Dickens, Morse, ....) in the 4-6 episode format.

A lot of their most famous weekly stuff is very low budget (their audience is much smaller, and less competitive than the USA) so don't watch it. But don't insult those of us who like british tv.

He's a magic engineer, that is, he designs the illusions, he doesn't perform them. He's asked for help with an unsolveable crime, on the questionable theory that as someone who makes the impossible seem possible for a living, he would be a good detective. Then they do a whole show with him solving crimes.

Some of the episodes are good with tricky solutions that are solvable and fair, others are just ass-pulls. It was all written by a single guy and I really think he should have had a writers room.

The highly ranked episodes (Google for them) are all worth the watch.

218 Them.us: Republicans Cannot Stop Generating Images of James Talarico as a Woman

Seems more like a fettish at this point. Trans porn in the top porn hub category in just about EVERY red state.

It's funny how when there's Republican conventions in cities, Grindr has to brace for the impending overload of their servers in the area, yet it's not as much of an issue when Democrats have conventions

Tim Walz was right, these people are weird as hell. IDK why they dropped that devestating, and true, messaging.

Damn they are really scared of this election. my social media feed is full of slop about Tallarico, and I don't live in Texas
Also apparently I'm supposed to give a shit about the LA mayoral election, too.

Talarico is a straight white Christian dude that happens to be a Democrat. Republicans can't cope. he actually follows the teachings of Christ, which Republicans can't stand.

221 Good afternoon everyone, HAPPPY QUASI-FRIDAY!


We had a bunch of rain, huge amounts, and now a little sun and I have so many interesting shrooms. I never lived at a place that had such a variety. There are these light tan/orange ones, very big, like 4" diameter. And now some white ones with a single red dot in the middle, Some big brown ones, and I saw a weird one that looks like Styrofoam packing peanuts. A menagerie! I take pics of them when I'm out walking the dog but I've had little luck with the websites that identify based on pictures.

I've been re-watching "Malcolm in the Middle" after finishing with "Scrubs".

MitM is still a great watch. I get 3-4 good laughs out of every episode.

The funny thing is that I was kind of pissed off during the first few episodes, because

I was remembering just how awful the Malcolm reboot was. Whoever made it must hate MitM. They ruined every character in the service of gaying and faking and trannying everything about it.

Anyway, check out "Malcolm in the Middle". It's still and great show.

Just avoid the reboot at all costs. It really is a hateful pile o'poo.

I think I will write a Doctor Who series. The actor playing Doctor Who will be holding their sonic screwdriver at all times because the actor playing Doctor Who will change a minimum of 15 times per episode, frequently during a scene. One actor will sprint off camera, hand off the screwdriver, a second actor will sprint on, deliver one line then sprint off again. Each new Doctor Who will have their gender revealed through the use of subtitles. No straight white males need apply.

247 To enjoy Doctor Who even a little bit you need some understanding of what the Doctor is, and basic backstory about the show.

It follows a formula and doesn’t explain itself multiple times every episode. There are lots of aliens and monsters and villains and deadly situations that the characters try to figure out and then survive. That’s all there is other than time and space travel.

If you go into an episode blind of course the entire premise will seem incomprehensible.

It would be like watching Star Wars by starting with Return of the Jedi, so it’s going to all seem silly and stupid if you haven’t invested in the story to the bare minimum.

Posted by: Axeman at June 11, 2026 05:31 PM (Fi81e)

Jim knows what Angel is, the whole time, but he likes him and apparently feels he owes him from his prison time.

The shock of the show is that Rockford treats it like a job, makes sure he gets paid, sometimes quits and everyone treats him like dirt for being a PI. The shows where Lance White (played by Tom Sellek) who is a perfect Television PI who solves cases by accident, trusts everyone and gets the girl and a rich trust fund from her dad are super funny.

The first season is good. The second season starts first episode, maybe the first minute, I forget, with full on dudes making out. For no reason. Like,

hey guys did you gay the show up?

well you know, we do some musical numbers and there's some cake decor...,

NO I SAID GAAAAY DAMN IT!

And I say for no reason because they could have just cut the stupid gay stuff and it would be fine.

The perfect comedy. Hilarious stuff.

Also, to show how good the cast was, it was acted out realtime, live, like a play with an audience. They performed it twice, back-to-back. The editors took the best version of each complete scene to produce the version for TV presentation. If you analyze the timing of the skits and the pace, that was an amazing feat.

Posted by: SciVo at June 11, 2026 05:29 PM (Sy6m/)

That is how the show was. Rockford had a few buddies, but he did the job to make a marginal living lived in a trailer parked on a lot near a beach (kinda near where I live now) and was disrespected and beat up a lot. The jail time was a frame job that he proved his innocence, not that it mattered a lot.

327 First scenes the Mandalorian is bounty hunting an Imperial War Criminal who has his own private army of At-Ats. The Mandalorian uses his Tony Stark jetpack and zips around destroying them with relative ease. This immediately makes him more powerful than Luke Skywalker, who almost was killed by them on Hoth. Typical James Bond opening. Now that we've established he's invincible, the reset of the movie will involve character development of his dark conflicted past or something. Nope, the Mandalorian is the most boring character since Captain Merrill Steubing. It is hard to make a Star Wars movie I won't like. Hats off.

Doctor Who has no magic.
His only real power is the ability to regenerate after death.

Everything else is him getting out of a deadly situation using his brain with the occasional fight, and rarely using a weapon.

His superiority comes solely from his IQ and the fact that he's lived for thousands of years, the rest is advanced technology.

Whatever

I guess I'm compelled to cover the daily diary drama of static stalemate and infinite "peace deals" about to be signed any moment now:

Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized -- Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.


Sure.

But I think I've heard this before 18 to 35 times before.

Unrelated: A Somali referee was denied a visa from the Trump Administration due to terrorist ties.

The left has decided he's a hero. NBC, for example, cries that he's a victim of Trump's draconian visa policies.

According to NBC News, Artan's denial was due to the Trump administration's discriminatory anti-immigration policies.'


He is not an isolated case: 15 Iranian officials have also been denied entry, according to Iranian state media, as has the official Iraqi team photographer. An Iraqi player, Aymen Hussein, and other teams say they have been subjected to intensive and sometimes invasive searches at the border.

Oh no! Iranian officials have been denied entry into the country? And their only mission was to appear at a stadium, also known as a "target for a mass casualty event"?

The racism you guys, the sheer racism. My heart cannot take it.


Al-Shabaab, the Somali franchise of Al Qaeda, declares their support for the terrorist ref.

We are. Ship are leaving and coming to some extent by killing their transponders. See yesterday's conference and we just bombed the shit out of most of their radar and command centers yesterday that inhibit passage.

Most of the rest of it deals with Lloyds of London and shipowners fearing risk. The reality is that Iran doesn't really have the ability to sink much if anything of oil tankers, compressed nat gas and resin haulers more as they deal with more flammable materials.

39 No, I think I’ve made the argument that ceasing combat operations was a mistake. You don’t make a decision to engage in combat operations, then cease them short of your objectives. Iran provided material support for the insurgency in Iran and the Taliban in Afghanistan. That’s before we get to Hezbollah and a whole alphabet of terror organizations. The IRGC isn’t going to give up until they are all dead. They will cut a deal and wait for us to move out of the battle-space. Then they will resupply, reformulate and start all over again.

Posted by: Ian S.

Trump is playing a double game--the long one is the blockade which doesn't get lifted until we get the nuke material safely. The short one is keeping current spot market oil prices down so you get the Iranians actually getting a taste of their own medicine which makes it difficult to oppose. Each time they try to escalate, they get whacked.

Sort of like the knight getting parts lopped off in Monty Python.

And this is at little risk and cost to the US other than playing whack a mole over and over again.

Patience in such situations is a virtue instead of rash action. Remember the goal stated and forever here is getting the nuke material out--not regime change. Israeli calculus is different and not ours. They want the IRGC gone, we are indifferent--if it happens yea, if not we have pulled the worst of their teeth.

And the blockade hurts every other economic and strategic competitor far worse than us.

We do control all passage of ships in and out of the Strait through the southeast. Not in the Strait itself. The blockade line is several hundred miles SE of the Strait, across the Gulf of Oman.

The Iranian news agency Fars reported that "given that the U.S. accepted the version proposed by Iran, the likelihood that this version will be approved by the regime is high." It was further noted that "about two weeks ago, the draft text of the memorandum of understanding between the negotiating teams was only waiting for final approval in Tehran and Washington. Trump again demanded to add some new details and in response Iran announced it would not examine the new version. Since Wednesday, Qatar entered as a mediator and announced the U.S. withdrawal from the new additional clauses. That is, a return to the original text that was still awaiting final approval. Not only did Iran not give a final response, but it is the U.S. that returned to its previous demand."

In my opinion the man has earned a little grace by running rings around the Lefty/media/pedo Industrial Complex, so I'm willing to wait awhile longer to see what happens

A basic knowledge of economics of supply and demand is simply not taught today for most people.

FWIW, hyperinflation is considered at 10 percent per year or higher. Trend lines on gas are actually flat for the first part of June because the miracle of the market has decided that 90's to 100 per barrel adequately prices in current demand/supply and risk. When energy prices start drifting down, which gas prices have done so in part in June, then so do other markers like groceries that depend on transport costs.

The oil shock since the Arab Oil Embargoes in 1973 and the Iranian Revolution in 1979, has been feared in the West ever since then. This shows it is in fact a paper tiger if a) we produce our own oil, b) much of the cost of that increased price of oil falls on China and other manufacturing nations that are competitors of the US. This shock is resulting in money coming into the US to buy our oil and gas rather than leaving. And is causing a lot of exploration and development of new resources here and in Venezuela.

158 Watch for it - the "deal" is going to hand Iran all the money they want, with only a promise to "negotiate" the nuclear material for 60 days. After 60 days, Iran will say "ha ha screw you we're keeping it all and building a nuke" and since every US asset will have been stood down, Trump will try to pretend that's what he really wanted all along. The US will never go into a war during campaigning for a mid term election, and Iran knows it.

There is another index that is more real-time that thinks the current CPI is closer to 2% and we will see that in the BLS data in a month or so

any deal with Iran would be bad, because any deal with them gives lifts sanctions and gives them billions to continue terrorizing the entire region, nukes or not. even if they abandon the nuke program (which they won't), they can build enough ballistic conventional missiles to erase entire countries from the face of the earth.

210 The fundamental problem Trump has is the only way to get the Iranians assholes to not be a duplicitous death cult is to eliminate them and the only practical way to do that is a full on war which likely mean troops on the ground. Trump won't go there, at least for now, because his hero play has him in the role of the peacemaker.

These opposing realities leave Trump with trying to convince the Iranian death cult to essentially commit suicide. Good luck with that. Plus they own all the dirt, don't give a crap about human suffering, and can read a calendar.

The Death Cult is playing Trump for a chump. They will never sign a peace deal and mean it. They might sign one if it gets them all the cash locked up in the West. Of course, 10 minutes, they will be right back to business as usual.

Trump still may be able to pulls this off but he is going to need to level all modern life in Iran, or, up to the point the regime collapses. And if not they path ahead, unfortunately for Trump, looks a whole lot like what happened to Japan and Germany in WW II.

Until then, enjoy looping episodes of Lucy yanking the football away from Charlie Brown.

Trump's war aim has been constant--no nukes for Iran. Iran started this by gloating they had enough material for twelve nukes.

So please explain what are YOUR goals for victory. Is it low gas prices? Regime change by boots on the ground? Blockading them harder? Sending in our troops into Iranian territory to grab and extract the nuke dust? Sending in an army to remove the government by force and occupying Iran until it is safe to leave?

He just launched a bunch of strikes including the key IRGC command center yesterday yet that is not enough? I think every critic needs to put up front what they consider 'victory'.

And the reason folks don't is because for some, it is restoring the Shah, for others, ending the IRGC with some new government, others, pulling back home, some want cheap gas again, and so on. Others, lets blow up a bunch of shit and leave again. Etc. etc. In the previous thread YD was at least willing to do that. Most don't because they know they are going to get flak from others with different victory ideas.

Correction - we would lose it b/c we wouldn't want to win it. We tend to fight with 2 hands tied behind our back. It makes it hard to win.

In the beginning, I didn't want to be here. I wanted to Cuba Iran...but we went in with the targeted leadership decapitation strike, the bombings and the retaliation that led to both sides are hand's off war. And now we tried to back off to a Cuba strategy (without the other side really doing so), but with way more assets needed and at risk.

So, as I've said, I don't care if Trump decides he tried, he kicked the can, and he's done. I just want him to decide that, save our money and assets, and leave. And not be in perpetual dither mode or "on again, off again"...

Hard to do that with no money. The reason we are in this situation in the first place is cowardice from Carter through Reagan, Bush I and II, Clinton, Biden and Obama. Obama gave the Iranians billions to enable this mess.

Trump is instead trying to fix 48 years of kicking the can down the road without getting a bunch of Americans killed and without letting the Iranians have nukes to blow up the Middle East and perhaps more.

I am not going to sit back and bitch because I had to pay more in gas these last couple of months because Trump is doing everything possible to keep our troops from a bloody situation.

This is a long term situation that may take even years of a blockade because neither bombing is not sufficient and we are not going to invade Iran with troops like Iraq.

242 For the last six weeks:

TRUMP ISN'T DOING ANYTHING HE'S BEING PLAYED

Meanwhile, he was successfully blockading Iran to the point where their oil exports decreased 90%, which is about a 10% hit to their GDP. He was quietly doing Project Freedom while saying he wasn't, to the point where, if you believe him, 20+ tankers are moving through the Strait every night. Which is a good start, but needs increased obviously.

If the Strait is closed to Iran but open to us, their leverage is gone. That's a strategic victory.

What they had is enough enriched uranium to make nukes in a couple of weeks or so. Takes very little to enrich uranium to bomb grade from over 60 percent. And they had hundreds of pounds of it enriched to that degree plus the missiles and warhead development to use them.

Whatever the faults of Mossad are, their penetration of Iran's nuclear program was excellent and the fact that the Iranians were trying to dig out those casks meant that we had to reengage this March to prevent them from exploiting it.

So, the US military has been at war with various folks for 50 years... with only a couple of years of no combat ops... all while pussy footing around so nothing gets done.

Yes. Sadly too many people simply have no patience anymore and want everything fixed right now. All the illegals deport, Iran war settled right now, the leftist shitheads involved in Russia Russia and voter fraud in prison right now, etc. etc.

Tired of even commenting now on a lot of matters because you come to the realization it is not even Trump that critics are complaining about, it is life in reality in 2026 where everything is a struggle. They want a Deux Ex Machina like in a movie to suddenly fix everything in a nice two hour package so they can live their lives without a shadow again.

As much as Trump has done, for that it simply cannot fulfill these expectations.

I see a lot of Europeans (especially) whining about the US not deserving to host the World Cup. And, arguably "soccer" while present in the US, is not a primary sport. In fact, if every high school didn't have a soccer team via tradition, the whole sport would be an afterthought in the US. That being said, I wonder how many people understand WHY the US is playing host, with FISA's approval.

The answer is "greed." The whole premise of the US hosting is due to NFL stadium facilities that guarantees a record financial windfall that isn't available in other countries. Nothing would make me happier than half filled stadiums, and ICE sitting right outside the venues for Central and South American country's games for kicks and giggles.

260 > Visa is looking at letting AI use your credit card and do your shopping for you.

I don't see the use case. With Amazon, you can already buy a "subscription" to a product. Say you go through a stick of deodorant every three months. You can put that on a three month subscription.

Or you can use Alexa to order things, but I've heard that is not a popular function.

So how does this work? Maybe AI can look at your order history and set up subscriptions for things you run out of on a predictable cycle. But it doesn't need you CC to do that. Just limited access to your Amazon account for updating subscriptions.

I could see that being helpful, but in a limited way. I'd be willing to see what patterns it could spot, but I'd want to be in control of the actual order finalization.

Savage Anthony Karmelo Supporters Now Making Death Threats Against Austen Metcalf's Family and Randomly Punching White People in the Face for TikTok Clout;
White People Must Remain Calm and Not Cause Incitement or Division

I mean obviously, it's on us normies being targeted by racial violence to be calm and not provoke thugs who have been taught that they have a free-floating right to attack or kill white people and if you challenge that right, then you are the next to be attacked or killed.

In fact, we should apologize to the Race Attackers for making it necessary to play the Knockout Game.

The media always attacks normal people for getting angry and becoming "radicalized" while they make infinite excuses not just for black assaults but for black incitements to commit assault.

Some "incitements," like the Crime of Noticing, should be punished by the state and, the state being absent, by Street Vigilantes enforcing Blood Reparations.

But other incitements to commit violence and demonization and dehumanization of another race are just "Good Trouble" which should be justified, defended, and amplified by the media.

This will not last.


wisted Karmelo Anthony supporters are bombarding the family of slain high school football player Austin Metcalf with sickening death threats, including a disgusting message saying Austin's twin brother, Hunter, should have also been killed.

The hateful messages started after Anthony's arrest last April, but went into overdrive after he was convicted of Metcalf's murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday -- with some of the heinous abuse even sent to their personal phones, according to TMZ.

"Your [sic] just mad bc Austin is no longer living. Should've stabbed hunter too ... he f--ked around and found out," one of the messages read.

The unhinged supporters have also threatened to show up at the homes of Metcalf family members, even saying they were desecrating Austin's grave, according to the outlet.

This nasty demon wrote an open letter to Jeff Metcalf, father of murdered Austin Metcalf, telling him that he is the Real Killer Here of his son because he failed to instruct his son that "black boys have boundaries," meaning, if you offer black males what they might consider "disrespect" they can (and should!) commit murder.

boundaries.jpg

But you know, black economic inequality is caused exclusively by White Oppression and not at all by a thuggish culture that celebrates violence as "authentic blackness."

Full letter, containing "retarded racial propaganda," here.


And it's not just blacks -- white woke woman "allies" are, as usual, the unhinged Nazi propaganda ministers calling for the pogroms.


Are we really now at the state where black radical racists and "allies" openly declare what they have long hinted at -- that they have an unquestioned right to attack or even murder white people who do not afford them enough deference and "disrespect"?

Good luck with that!


I wonder where these thugs are getting the idea that they can assault or even kill white people as part of their racial reparations package?


By the way: The woman claiming to be a "former prosecutor" in the first video above is in fact suspended from the bar for "disciplinary reasons."

What a surprise.

AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸
@DavideZ1911

🚨 BREAKING / RECEIPTS: Thelma Anderson was presented online as a legal voice after the Karmelo Anthony verdict but there is one very important detail people were not told.

The State Bar of Texas currently lists Ms. Thelma M. Anderson as "Not Eligible to Practice in Texas" with disciplinary status: "Suspended: Disciplinary Reasons."

And it gets worse.

The Texas Board of Disciplinary Appeals says Anderson pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud, was adjudicated guilty, received four years of probation, and was ordered to pay $20,871 in restitution to the SBA.
[https://tinyurl.com/5n77asvs]

FOX 4 previously reported Anderson was a former Dallas County prosecutor accused of taking out a roughly $20K PPP loan using fraudulent paperwork while claiming payroll expenses for a side business. FOX also reported she had been an assistant district attorney at the Dallas County DA's Office from 2016 to 2022. [https://fox4news.com/news/thelma-an
derson-ppp-loan-fraud
]

So before anyone sells her as an "attorney" giving serious legal commentary on the Karmelo case, maybe ask the obvious question:

Why was the audience not told she is currently not eligible to practice law in Texas?

That is not a small detail.
That is the whole credibility problem.

Public records don't whisper. They scream.

More at David Strom's post at Hot Air, including more psychopathic racist attacks on whites (which we're all racists for Noticing), but also some hopeful messaging from blacks who are also sick of the psychopathic thug "culture" valorized by far, far too many blacks.

A lot of blacks are speaking out about their own "black fatigue," being tired of bad behavior and criminality of their more criminal cousins.

Unfortunately, another bad aspect of black culture -- unthinkingly taking the side of another black no matter how indefensible his behavior is -- means that these people are routinely called "Uncle Toms" and "coons."

They are also guilty of the Racial Crime of Noticing.

The Blade has been saying this -- including on this blog -- for a long time now. It's a very welcome development.

The problem is the most outrageous assholes and ghetto rats making the most outrageous claims are the ones that get attention and "likes."

Some fake hoodwhore like Jizzmine Ratchet will say something like "blacks should be able to hunt whites," and it will get far more attention that when a normal black guy says "you know, I'm getting black fatigue too."

This was not a Metcalf-Anthony beef. Anthony was angry and belligerent to the entire team. Metcalf tried to diffuse the situation by saying -- multiple times -- "I'm not going to fight you."

So much of this is rationalization for a member of the tribe (black) behaving improperly. They have seized on Metcalf 'putting his hands' on Anthony as the justification to respond with deadly force in order to defend himself. It bypasses the fact that he went to the area, armed. He refused to leave peaceably. He kept amping up the confrontation. The minute someone touched him, that washed everything HE had done away.

Its WHY he went there. It makes perfect sense if you are insane- and his family is justifying it because THEY are where he got that thinking.

Karmelo Anthony's grandmother left the court house in a brand-new-looking luxury Acura driven by a Black guy in a suit. I wonder who bought it when and with which money.

I'm sure she's looking for deals if anyone wants an authentic victim and authority on Black victimhood.

Anthony woke up that morning looking for a confrontation. He put the knife in his bag.

He walked up to the other school's team tent and sat down. He was asked to leave multiple times. He refused. He put his hand in his bag. He said "touch me and see what happens."

He was touched and immediately stabbed him in the chest with all of his force.

I thought that was where the disputable part comes from. Austin Metcalf "started it" by putting his hands on Anthony.

So, the brother isn't "guilty" of that.

88 Metcalf showed Anthony "disrespekk" after Anthony acted provocatively in a dominance display. Metcalf is dead and these assholes think it's "self-defense" because Metcalf didn't act like the expected white pussy and act submissively enough for Anthony's enormous yet fragile ego. Anthony wouldn't stand for being punked by a white boy. They expect to be treated like wild tigers or something - no eye contact, give them a wide berth, don't entertain any social friction with them.

104 It’s really not about black or white. There are plenty of decent, hard working Americans who just happen to also be black that don’t accept this garbage.

It’s about values.

The “thug” culture doesn’t just exist in the black community. It exists in many places because in its essence it’s about a lack of fundamental values, morals and compliance with our societies social contract. It’s a grievance society governed by the fundamental idea that a lack of achievement and advancement isn’t about your personal failures, it’s falsely about everyone else keeping you from achieving. It’s a lazy man’s excuse that people wield like a weapon, feeling that imagined oppression gives them license to take what they want and hurt whoever they can as reparation.

The only thing that stops this is decent people who achieve and come together on the basis of their values.

You can tell where the murderer got his values from the million dollar go fund me his parents collected and immediately started buying homes, cars and Gucci.

Obama lost support among blue collar whites between 2008 and 2012.

136 "Unfortunately, another bad aspect of black culture -- unthinkingly taking the side of another black no matter how indefensible his behavior is"

Singapore outlawed jury trials maybe 50 years ago (at least in criminal trials) because tribalism was so strong that, for example, no Chinese juror would ever convict a Chinese defendant, no matter what. All criminal trials are done by the judge alone.

For all her alleged criminal law experience, one would think she would know her chances of a successful appeal of a plea is, at best, miniscule. She has an even lesser chance of success than Karmela.

Not sure why anyone would use her as a legal expert, but willing to bet she got a friend at the network who wanted to kick her some work.

Karmelo Anthony's grandmother left the court house in a brand-new-looking luxury Acura driven by a Black guy in a suit. I wonder who bought it when and with which money.

She also seemed to be enjoying the entourage of young Black guys -- some sort of formal or informal guard -- and the knot of protestors with cameras that she attracted as she strode along.

I'm sure she's looking for deals if anyone wants an authentic victim and authority on Black victimhood.

The sympathy pond is drained by fatigue derived from experience. Same with men approaching leftist women--experience teaches these males those women are not worth any long term engagement. And those women will sit and rot on the shelf when they suddenly realize they will be alone for the rest of their lives, ignored and swept aside, just like the guys they abused back in their heyday.

The Golden Rule has a seldom mentioned downside. If the other party does not treat you the way you treat them, then you will avoid, distance, dislike, and sometimes confront those that behave that way. As a group, treat other people like shit then your group, in turn, will get instant karma by being treated the same as you treat others.

Because liberalism is emotional. They make an emotional attachment to some victims and not other people who could rightly be called victims.

And then they run that through an ideology filter that tells them who are the "good guys" and "bad guys".

About all they can muster is "OF COURSE, they have sympathy for the Ukrainian girl knifed on the train!" when they otherwise don't even mention it.

But when it's an ideological client, it's "Say his/he name!"

And that you don't initiate talk about the victim is some sort of proof of how bad a person you must be.

162 FSU was a great experience for both my son and DIL. We went to many basketball and football games and really liked the kids there.Also went to UF where other son was flushing our $ down the toilet, and those kids were more elite at games.

Son was in a class with a FSU football player, Leon Washington. Said he was a very nice guy and talked to him...and emailed that Leon's forearm seemed bigger than his thigh (I laughed, as my son is very tall and all muscle).

I say this as there were no skirmishes of blacks vs white Seminole fans in Tallahassee that I remember. In a stadium of 80k or so we did not feel nervous of being a cracka. Plus I am used to black people and whatever.

I don't think the culture changed at the university then, but the thugs surely embraced Kang Obungo. We in charge now, bro, with a brutha in the big white.

Whatever. This same son has a good friend from either college who lives in SC. Son and DIL were invited to his birthday party and went and represented the white nation and were treated well by his family. Good people and still in touch.

Everyone seems to grab what they want out of an argument.

Forgetting this is how people wind up in camps, and as that starts getting sorted out, the only question is what side of the wire you plan on being on.

192 About 10 years ago there was a book “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry” by author Colin Flaherty. He interviewed a prison psychologist with 30 years experience who said:

“These “predators,” do not reflect a subculture, but a primary part of the black culture. This culture is one of sadistic and primitive impulse where they [the predators] believe themselves to be 10 feet tall, bulletproof, very smart, good looking, gifted, and tougher than anyone. These predators live without any sense of personal responsibility or boundaries with others. Hence, while assaulting or killing someone, the absence of a conscience is considered among their peers as an indicator of strength and power.”

That seems like a summary of what we are witnessing that they think Anthony is the victim. It’s truly sick.

The nuclear family. A father and mother at home, raising the kids in a 'normal' environment, teaching right from wrong, good from evil and God's will.

The music and media industry that has turned sex into a conquest, especially in the black community, as opposed to a loving relationship lead to the 'baby momma culture' that is ruining society.

Now and then one escapes ghetto and thug life. Like Dr. Ben Carson, who had a strong mother.

228 It is not RACE, it is culture.
Posted by: Romeo13
========
That is less than clear because the two are intertwined for a whole host of people in the world. To the extent that stereotypes exist which are some sort of averaging that people mentally employ.

Same with genetic components of culture which can coincide with race--e.g. cousin marriages, polyamory, etc. cause issues with genetics which then are reflected in culture. Ditto on heredity on time preferences and recognition of signalling in society. Those carry over to culture as well which can coincide with race.

So what are cultural effects and what are genetics in affecting individual behavior is a whole set of unpleasant questions that empiricism has shunted to the side. We literally cannot handle the truth because inherently we are both members of a group without much choice in the matter and yet have to interact with others that are different to us.

Hard to reconcile that other than Christianity and its Golden Rule. But that also means punishing/excluding/distancing from those that refuse to follow it.

This one is going to be interesting. In the past the militias and revolutionary drug gangs could run over the border to Venezuela and got support from Cuba. It was whack a mole and when things were slow in Colombia they were heating up in Bolivia and Peru. Now even Ecuador has US troops involved and is cracking down and Colombia was the last hole left because Petro had their back.
Petro has been suspended from acting as President for 30 days because the Colombian Congress figured he was too involved with the recent elections, but that is also being disputed since it puts the Legislative branch above the Executive, due to probably poorly written statutes.

I remember after this first happened, Karmelo's mother and family holding a press conference. His mother made a big point of saying that she raised her son in a two parent home, raised him to respect the law, that they went to church, etc. Right before the trial, during, and afterward everything coming from the family was accusations of racism. So they showed their true nature and what Karmelo was really taught growing up. Even his Grandmother was shouting it after the verdict and sentencing. It is all very sad.

Now, they are telling me it's reasonable for Anthony to fatally enforce his own standards against assault.

There are a lot of unpleasant results like high retardation rates from cousin marriages which is why the West eliminated those until they allowed Muslims special dispensation to start them up again. Same with allowing tribalism from abroad to affect policy among immigrants (see the Caste System from Dot Indians for example). In group preferences among newcomers. Low trust and persistent lying among other cultures as justified.

And we know that general iq and short time preferences are genetic in nature. There are limits to the Flynn effect.

The left presumes to get around this by making everyone widgets, the Right, at least in the West, should do it via muscular Christianity because that is the religion most compatible with civilization that raises the individuals up rather than subjugate them as in China.

Because war will wreck the oil markets. $150/barrel oil will wreck the economy and guarantee a midterm wipeout. This level of inflation (short-term) isn't bad for the economy, and at any rate you can blame part of the inflation on hyperscaler mega-spending, which is a long-term good for the economy. If inflation is elevated yet steady, people adjust. Trump has made a habit of flipping conventional wisdom on its head, showing that he can take advantage of it. Trade deficits give us negotiating leverage. IRGC mines the Strait, we put a real blockade on it - all this is of a piece. The Dems, the IRGC and conventional wisdom want us to believe that Trump needs to make a deal ahead of the midterms. But does he, really? What if he puts that same pressure on the IRGC? Things from that perspective look very different.

Things like smoking in a no-smoking area, playing loud music, getting loud and aggressive with salary employees over tiny things or even imagined things, etc. If nobody says anything, they get a pride-boner for being so tough nobody will dare say anything to chide their bad behavior. If someone says something, they get to respond with over the top aggression.

Because liberalism suppresses the plurality demographic, so that works for them. Plus, unless they become conservatives, they never have to worry about their ethnicity coming under fire.

It is actually the tribalism and xenophobia in other ethnicities that have not even had to think about reforming by which they benefit from the suppression of the plurality which is white Europeans.

As it should be. Christianity teaches us that we are all sinners of one sort or another and the Good Samaritan teaches us that even what we consider 'unclean' may come to save us. But, on the other hand, the Good Book indicates that shaking the dust off from a hostile reception is also smart. Be as wise as a serpent and as meek as a dove.

Wisdom is avoiding those who by evidence destroy your peace and communion with the Lord to the maximum degree possible. By their fruits ye shall know them.

A few odd things going on here. They should have already had some nice cars and a nice home if dad was or is a GM for a large car dealership. Also the churchgoing and upbringing to respect the law. They probably did go through the motions, and now this? I've seen some intense brutality going on in Black homes where church and respect for authority are taught.

The same thing happened with that 18-year-old rapper "Julio Foolio." Intact family, well traveled, well educated, and then he gets into the rap world, goes gangsta, and weeps in shock when he's sentenced to a murder that he flat-out committed on camera. There's some fundamental misunderstanding in Black families about what respect for authority and the Golden Rule really are.

Whistleblower Vindicated: Biden Officials Conspired to Violate Court Order Stating that "Transgender" Could Not be Classified as a Protected Categroy Under Title IX (Which Protects Women on the Basis of "Sex", Not "Gender Identification")

Plus: After this article, the worst transgenders-in-girls-sports story I've ever read. I didn't want to put it in the headline. It's a very vulgar sexual violation committed during a sport.

I'm sure Fake Tapper and CNN will be all over Biden's lies and corruption and defiance of lawful (and obvious, open-and-shut) court rulings.


High-ranking Biden administration officials conspired to violate a 2022 court order against their interpretation of Title IX as covering "gender identity" within the definition of "sex," and may have also tried to conceal those efforts through coercion and intimidation, according to a Department of Education report made public Wednesday after lengthy outside review.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel told President Trump the department "fully substantiated the allegations" by whistleblower Timothy Mattson, who now leads the department's Office for Civil Rights' regional office in Kansas City, recommending sanctions against current and former officials and compensation for Mattson for the risk he took coming forward.

"OSC has reviewed the disclosure, agency reports, and whistleblower comments," and "determined that the reports contain the information required by statute and that the findings appear reasonable," the agency's chief counsel, Charles Baldis, told Trump in a four-page letter.

The Feb. 19 "supplemental" report, compelled by the Trump administration's OSC after President Biden's OSC dismissed Mattson's allegations a month before the presidential transition, repeatedly names then-OCR Director Catherine Lhamon as the key figure directing Mattson and others to continue enforcing the gender-identity guidance.

"OCR's leadership actively engaged in efforts to thwart at least one OCR regional office (Region VII) [Kansas City] from following the plain and unambiguous meaning of the order" by U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley, a Trump nominee, who blocked enforcement of the guidance in the states that sued the feds, the supplemental report says.

The order validated years of accusations that Lhamon's office, which she led in the Obama and Biden administrations as assistant secretary for civil rights, misrepresented nonbinding guidance as legally binding, threatening federal funding for K-12 schools and colleges that didn't bend the knee.

Days after Atchley's order, in a virtual meeting with Mattson, Lhamon "stated that she planned to disregard the advice provided by" her own general counsel and the Justice Department "in navigating OCR's response to the Injunction." (Biden's OSC claimed Mattson "misunderstands the scope of the Court's injunction.")

Below: One of the worst transgenders-violating-women-in-sports stories I've heard.

A male was allowed to compete in wrestling -- the most contact of all contact sports -- against girls.

The male fingered his female opponent while wrestling her, pushing aside her spandex and thrusting his male fingers into her vagina.

The school district covered up for it, of course!




So close to Pride Month.

23 Hopefully the inclusion of males in female sports will increase.

Women were never meant to compete in sport, it is a waste of their reproductive years. Female sports is a vector for lesbianism, competition, strife, and physical violence, none of which are feminine traits.

A woman swimming across the ocean, slam dunking a sportsball, doing a triple flip off a diving board, or hitting a grapefruit sized ball with a metal pipe is inconsequential in comparison to birth more humans.

Think of the greatest female sports achievement of all time. Got it?

Okay. That achievement is still a retarded foot note in history compared to birthing even one human being.

The hardest thing about watching that video is that her mom (the one taking the video) is watching her daughter get assaulted and ... just laughs about it.

Now, it's possible the mom didn't know what was going on, but just look at the face of the girl. Clearly, something is very wrong that doesn't involve normal wrestling.

I said from the beginning that you're more likely to get male pervs--who don't have to worry about shame because sexual shame is BAD these days.

And the shame against sexual shame has had a dual effect. Decreasing the stigma of pervs, encouraging more men into perving.

94 Someone mentioned the Mods and Rockers at the end of the last thread.

I haven't heard that phrase in years and it brings back a memory of a horrible fistfight where I nearly killed a guy. Not on purpose, just the way it ended up.

I was in a podunk bar in the Rockies, and I was wearing this 3/4 length Yves St. Laurent woolen great coat. Really nice piece of gear.

Out of nowhere, this piss-drunk Brit accosted me and started slurring out a barely coherent tirade about the Mods and the Rockers, which I did not then or now have a clue about. Some limey queer thing, I presume.

He started pawing and grabbing at this coat so I told him "this costs more than your wardrobe; touch it again and I'll feed it to you."

A few minutes later, I was out on the deck smoking, and this English pussy cheapshotted from me behind. He was a weedy little drunk guy, so it had little effect. I turned around and cracked him one good and hard... at which point he stumbled backward and fell down a long, steep flight of wooden stairs.

Like I said, he survived, but it was a real "oh shit!" moment I haven't thought of in a long time. Got real lucky on that one.

106 Politics Iran threatens Elon Musk’s companies in Middle East: Iranian state media

Iran will treat all of Elon Musk’s companies in the Middle East, including SpaceX’s Starlink internet service, as military targets as it retaliates against the U.S., Iranian state media outlet Fars reported Thursday. Iran is targeting “all interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia,” including a regional Starlink ground station, according to a translated post on Fars’ Telegram page. Starlink has played a key role in U.S. military operations against Iran, supporting high-tech ordnance ranging from aerial attack drones to unmanned surveillance and strike vessels.

How many Timeless Revelations have we been through in California now? First a ban on paper bags, then a comeback of paper bags, then a ban on free plastic bags (have to pay 10 cents each in Los Angeles and probably other Enlightened Cities), then another ban on paper bags, and now stores can't give plastic bags out at all due to a ban on "single-use plastic bags." So instead of reusing my plastic bags as trash can liners, I now have to buy them in giant packs from Costco.

Looking forward to all this Scientific Brilliance subsiding, assuming I'll live long enough.

I had a friend when i was 7 that told me i could use the restroom in his house; one of his older sisters was in there showering; he said she wouldn't care; that he did it all the time. So i walk in there and she's brushing her hair; no clothes; she punched me in the chest so hard i fell back into the hallway; i ran back to his room and she caught me in the back with the hairbrush she whipped at me.

Of course, it's Washington State, so Pierce County might have just tried to cover it up too.

Due to culture, and money, Thai whores are everywhere. Just about any good looking civilian even in Thailand has probably fucked for money.

There are really good, really skilled escorts there, but be selective, negotiate fees up front (without your little head being engaged), wear condoms for everything, and most importantly....never get a blowjob from anyone you haven't seen naked first.

123 I wrestled for 8 years, against boys and ladies during high school. This seems *highly* unlikely. Oil checks happen. whether intentional or not, you sign up for it when you play the sport.

the twitter video clearly shows (in my opinion as grappling practitioner) the trans student using that leverage to attempt to turn over their opponent to complete a pin. I think this completely insane. YOU CAN EVEN SEE THEM CONCEDE THE POSITION WHEN THE MOVE IS NOT WORKING????

There’s an 80% chance that this is just someone who doesn’t like transgender people, given how many bad-faith lawsuits are used against trans people. Of course, if they were actually assaulted, I do hope they get justice

Wrestling is intensely physical and intimate. Would this lawsuit exist if it didn’t involve a trans person? Would it be opportunistically shared around conservative media if not? No.

Okay. So she was assaulted by her opponent. There is absolutely NO reason that the opponent being transgender needs to be a part of this. Bringing up their gender status has nothing to do with the assault and will only lead to assholes going, “see! We can’t have THEM in our sports”

Posted by: Megthered

And what would you do? Trump did what he said he would do all along--remove Iran's nuclear abilities and that goes back over a decade. He did not promise, but too many people assumed, that we would do the whole Iraq regime replacement bugaloo again.

So his aim is to get the Iranian nuclear program shut down period. Not to restore the Shah or some other ruler to make the Middle East safe for democracy. If the Iranian people don't get rid of the IRGC, then they will be ruled by them but they won't have nukes or nuclear capability to threaten their neighbors.

To that end, he directed air strikes, a naval blockade, and the strictest sanctions with help from the Arab states, that Iran has ever faced. Their external money is frozen and they can't get more if they cannot sell their oil.

All of this at a very low cost in lives of American service members and higher gas prices.

166 158 Is there a technical wrestling term for that type of hold?
Posted by: Biff Pocoroba

I had always heard about wrestlers sticking thumbs in opponents' asses, so Googled it just now. AI summary:

This technique is widely known as the butt drag or the oil check. In legitimate folkstyle wrestling, the move is designed to gain leverage by grabbing an opponent's butt cheek or tailbone area to control their hips or force a turn; penetration of the anus is not part of the official technique and is considered illegal.

However, in practice and professional wrestling history, the move has been controversially associated with intentional anal penetration, often referred to by slang terms like "checking the oil" or "the snub."

Legitimate Use: Coaches and officials state the legal move involves using an open palm or the back of the thumb on the buttocks for leverage, with accidental contact being rare and unintentional.
Illegal/Controversial Use: Intentionally inserting a finger or thumb into the anus is banned and has led to serious legal consequences, including sexual battery charges for wrestlers like Preston Hill in 2010.

What exactly is your definition of "victory conditions"?

Is Iran winning because it is in stratospheric inflation rates, most of the IRGC leadership is dead or hiding in holes, and none of their missiles seem to be getting through anymore? They can't even protect or resupply Hezbollah.

Bessant has seized all the assets outside of Iran that were socked away in the other gulf states to evade sanctions, and is going to disburse the funds to the countries Iran bombed in the last month.

But Trump is losing because . . . Well, we keep seizing Iranian oil tankers running silent. Because C-140s aren't coming home full of caskets for Trump and JD Vance to salute over, so it is hard to claim that is a loss.

I think there was very little by way of a Plan B, and when none of that materialized, he's now stuck trying to figure out what the hell can be done short of a ground invasion, and not coming to a satisfactory answer. Hence the constant vacillation.

I just hope he settles on something soon. "Annihilate their entire civil infrastructure and bug out" is my preferred answer, but whatever ends this is fine.

My worry is that he's being strung along by these dopes in the Pentagon and Langley until they can get a nice big land invasion for us to lose.

Dr. Martens shoes, originally designed by Klaus Märtens in 1945 for comfort during recovery from an injury, became popular after British manufacturer R. Griggs Group acquired the rights in 1959 and introduced the iconic 1460 boot in 1960. The brand evolved from work boots to a cultural symbol embraced by various subcultures, including punk and grunge, throughout the decades.

If it were my kid he'd definitely be missing a few fingers.

Also other appendages.

When Mark Twain was a young printer's apprentice, a local minister hired the shop to typeset and print a collection of sermons and mail them out

This was in the days of hand-set type, meaning that if you found a typo in a page, sometimes correcting it would screw up one or more succeeding pages because it would throw the spacing off (Morons old enough to remember typewriters know the story).

Twain and another young apprentice were given the job. After they'd set up several pages they noticed a typo. They figured out that if they just abbreviated "Jesus" as "Jes." on one page, they could get away with only resetting that page.

They ran off proofs and sent them over to the preacher. He showed up at the shop in high dudgeon. "Disrespectful! Unacceptable! You must always use the FULL NAME of the Savior!"

So... they reset the job, using the full name, ("Jesus H. Christ"), ran the job, and dropped 'em in the mail.

The critical thing with self defense is you have to think it through BEFORE you have to act in some situation. Settle on what your red lines are now so that you don't get cognitive problems when required to act. Ruthlessness, speed, and commitment can carry you pretty far in most cases. Add training to the deal and preplanning, you can come out all right in many situations--often without fighting.

I would have though that would have gotten him a punch, but it didn't.

205 Disgusting....but......

A seventeen YO girl in our church wrestles against males in High School dual meets and good enough to beat some males. She is obviously fully aware that she is wrestling males and agrees to that situation. She of coarse wrestles in larger female-only tournaments where they can get enough girls from many schools.

She of coarse is made a better wrestler by competing with larger and stronger males. I don't (THINK) I would want to ban male/female matches if the girl fully agrees. OTOH, I don't think it's terribly fair to force a male wrestler to wrestle a girl and to possibly suffer the never-ending ribbing that would likely occur if he looses.

Going back almost 50 years we had a girl my age that had wrestled in grades 4-8 against other girls (wrestling is big in Pennsylvania) but it topped out at grade 8. She wanted to wrestle in high school, caused a little circus, but in the end (IIRC) she joined our practice meets for a season or so and went on distant tournaments where they could scrape enough females. It was a little odd in the first few weeks but she was so taped up on the top side that it wasn't much a factor.

248 This was probably 25-30 years ago. I will not name the crew member, vessel or the port (other than it being in Alaska, and it was not me).

Said crew member was SUPPOSEDLY on harbor watch while the rest of the crew was off drinking and whoring away their money. He felt this was unfair and that he'd earned his fair share of hangover and chlamydia, so he sneaked over to a waterfront bar of less than stellar reputation. After he'd had a few, he invited a fellow drinker back to the boat, only to discover that "Lucille" was packing some extra gear that he hadn't expected. This went sideways in a hurry, attracting the attention of the local cops. Arrests were made.

Your reasoning is bullshit here. The goal is taking Iran's nuke material and to do that safely rather than putting a bunch of troops in Iran is to force it via negotiations, blockades, and bombing as necessary. Trump let Netanyahu push the regime change shit and facilitated sending the Kurds some arms to give to the resistance and they double crossed everyone keeping them and the starlink terminals. So show me Trump ever promised we would regime change Iran. It was repeatedly if the Iranian people step up and get rid of their leaders.

In the long run, containment is the issue rather than proposing military decisions that could well make things worse. Iran without nukes is a state that can be contained, with them, not so much.

It isn't US casualties, nor really even US forces abroad which was a constant from 2001-2021 in the Middle East. Some argue it is a distraction but in reality, show where Trump could get more of his domestic agenda passed or through courts than he already is doing. Border wall is nearly completion, trade is being reorganized, oil is present and US oil, gas, even nuclear and coal are being revived, we are pulling troops out of Germany, took care of Venezuela, deterred China from Taiwan, and are slowly fixing our domestic employment into jobs for Americans, not invaders. Plus the public fisc has been revealed that at least half of our deficit if not more is outright fraud which is being cut.

I have never seen this sort of accomplishments in any modern US presidency since perhaps FDR in totally reorganizing the US and its foreign policy. Even Reagan does not come close and he squibbed badly on immigration and Iran.

Historically that does not work out very well. It is easier to deal with a bad government in Iran than anarchy because the anarchy invariably spills over borders into Pakistan, the other Gulf States, etc.

If pushed, I think Trump is more likely to destroy Kharg Island and the eastern Iranian oil fields than destroying the civil infrastructure. That lets the populace live but leaving both the IRGC and the people of Iran in abject poverty. Oil revenues ARE the Iranian economy which is the problem with rentier states.

The untold story is that core inflation is .2 percent last month. That is a 2.4 annual inflation rate without gas. And that unlike previous oil price crunches, this money is staying here to encourage even more production, reducing our trade deficit, and new fields are likely to come online because of the higher prices. It is also causing the end of the Green Nude Eel crap even in Euroland--they can't afford it anymore and now ironically rely on us for Natural Gas imports to keep the lights on.

Some people like to bitch and would complain while being hung that they wanted a new rope instead. At a certain point, I get tired of criticizing the guy fighting for us in the arena by people with little skin in the game.

Since we don't see masses of US troops being ground up in pointless combat and Iran spraying nukes on missiles throughout the Middle East or threatening too, I don't care about paying a bit more in gas.

Most of that bitching on gas prices, especially in blue states, is because Democrats in the blue state legislatures and governor's offices want it that way with enormous taxes on gas. Those taxes in turn are not use for the roads but instead for every other blue state boondoogle known to man.

In spades for California where they pushed refinery shutdowns by stupid and evil designs to raise gas prices by scarcity. But you never seem to see them bitch about their own state governments and rapacious taxation--instead it is Trump's fault.

UK Government Begins "Instructing" "Journalists" On How to Spin the Beheading Agenda They Have Ushered Into the Country

As we see on the American left: the Real Crime isn't the real crime at all, the Real Crime is noticing the actual real crime.

And they will not tolerate the Real Crime of Noticing. Even as they instruct their pet "journalists" to convince the public to tolerate the actual real crime and show some understanding and empathy and above all else, "Remain Calm" and do not make a fuss.


Labour triggers Belfast attack censorship row as it sets out plans for new crackdown on social media content 'in times of crisis'

Social media is to face new curbs during 'times of crisis' like the Belfast attack.

Technology secretary Liz Kendall has unveiled plans to amend online safety laws to allow regulator Ofcom to impose a crackdown at times of heightened social and political tension.

The move will allow Ofcom to require tech firms to take tougher action on material that could 'incite violence or disorder'.

It follows growing anger among ministers about Elon Musk's ability to 'amplify' public concern over incidents like Henry Nowak's murder and this week's knife attack in Belfast.

But it also threatens to trigger a major row about censorship -- and a potential clash with the White House over free speech.

In a statement posted on Mr Musk's X site, Ms Kendall said: 'Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law. Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.'

So endless indulgence to foreign war-criminals, rapists, and escaped maniacs, but they're going to put out an arrest warrant for Elon Musk for not blocking the video that shows the crime they are complicit in themselves.

In a clip below the fold, a the Minister for Northern Ireland -- a leftwing Karen, of course-- makes that explicit, stating "I wish people didn't see that video."

"I wish we could just cover up our crimes forever and censor anyone exposing them."

That's what you meant.

She added: 'I have explicitly asked Ofcom to discuss urgently with X and other platforms how they will comply with the Online Safety Act.'

Government sources said the move would cover any material which Ofcom considers might incite violence or disorder.

Unlimited immigration from third word barabarian states is what directly causes violence or disorder, but they won't do a thing about that.

It is unclear who will determine what constitutes a 'time of crisis'.

It's pretty clear to me -- a "time of crisis" is any period in which the consequences of the left's Third Worldism Agenda are made visible to the public.


The prominent Reform UK politician Matt Goodwin urged ministers to focus on dealing with the causes of public anger rather than trying to police social media.

'It's not social media that's "inflaming tensions",' he said. 'It's not Elon Musk. It's not Nigel Farage. It's not the "far-right". It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration and open borders. This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.'<

Mr Musk responded to Mr Goodwin with a one-word post, saying: 'Exactly.'

But Labour Party chair Anna Turley said Mr Musk should stay out of sensitive political events like the Belfast attack.

...

'He has a responsibility - everyone in public and civil life has a responsibility to call for calm and not to stoke grievance or hatred or division or tension that puts vulnerable people and our communities at risk.'

Riots are the voices of the unheard. The left said that. Was that not true when you said it? If it was not true, why did you say it?

Drew Pavlou
@DrewPavlou

BREAKING NEWS: Australia's public broadcaster ABC News just accused @elonmusk
of ''inciting racial tension'' in Belfast because he did not censor footage showing a Sudanese refugee attempting to behead someone.

They're angrier at Elon than at the stabber.

The left is freaking out because someone on the vague "right" of the UK stated, accurately, that the UK is importing people from an "alien culture" who believe in beheading as a method of conflict resolution.

But while the non-elected members of the left seethe and howl about it, Islamoleftist British politicians just refuse to answer the question of whether they believe public beheadings are of an alien culture, or are a British tradition.

I mean yeah they chopped off Charles I's head but that was a long time ago.

We want to say a profound thank you to the local people who bravely stepped in during the attack. ...

We are aware of the tensions and talk of protests following this incident. We want to make it absolutely clear that overnight unrest is not welcome, and peaceful protest is the only way forward.

We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including in our healthcare system and hospitality sector and we depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility.

Because when your relative is nearly beheaded, your first thought is how that will affect the "hospitality sector".

34 The funny part is just like leftists in America they never thought the people would rise up and resist them.

I hope they are getting very uncomfortable with the notion they will be spared any personal pushback. Like, they are worried their houses will be burned down pushback.

They used the government as a weapon against the people it was meant to serve. Then they falsely believed when the burning times came, they would be protected.

Nope. Reap what you sowed, losers. Keep up that defiant tone.

As I've said 100x before, nobody cares about us because nobody fears us. People fear Muslims. They fear blacks. That's why Muslims and blacks get Favored Ethnic Status and they ruthlessly exploit.

Meanwhile, Christians and Jews and whites get the shaft. Why? Because nobody fears us. They can beat us, rob us, discriminate against us, blame everything on us. We just sit back and whine "that you, sir, may I have another."

In a medically induced coma. He had already suffered an attack in Scotland by a criminal as the guy drugged Ogilvie with GHB and then set him on fire with aftershave I think. Guy that did that to Ogilvie in in prison.

FWIW, Ogilvie is functionally retarded apparently from the record and per his family (aka special needs). Poor guy is exactly the type that government should protect. And btw, there is a second accomplice to that Sudanese involved in the attack, you hear that guy warning in the video the head chopper that the police were coming.

They are the credentialed class who use their personal beliefs and alleged accomplishments as some type of claim to superior ideas and solutions. The problem is they all fail intellectual, truthful debate and collapse under a meritorious exam. That’s why they want to seize control of the government and its auspices- to use that as a weapon which will coerce, force and cajole people to accept their demonstrably false ideas and policies. It’s always bound to fail. If we have learned anything from history it is that tyranny has a shelf life, and we are reaching the expiration date.

By the way, isn't some very large report on the Rotherham (and everywhere else) "East Asian" r@pe gangs supposed to be released imminently? Or has it already happened but no one reported it?

true for many, primarily African nations

now the Indians .. they are sending better people to take jobs here and send remittances back. it's an interesting economic scheme they have going on.

the admin slightly pulled back on work visas (almost all are from India, which seems odd) and they went into recession in the home country.

107 They brought the water cannons out to drive back those who are protesting for those being raped, tortured and murdered.

Lined up in riot gear 20 across and 3 deep to push them back.

But none of that, not one bit, was available when the rapes, the torture, the murders were taking place.

And, as others are noticing:
It not "just doing my job" these police.
Every fucking one of those piece of shit knew--absolutely KNEW--their fellow officers were covering up--even participating in!--the rapes of these girls.
And they all went home quietly that night, ate dinner, watched a few hours of the BBC and slept soundly.

170 Keep in mind that this Censorship (while enacted within the UK) isn't confined to the shores of the UK. Their recently inacted "Online Safety Act" was an over reach.

If the UK does not agree with content on foreign platforms (for example the US based YouTube), they will enact their "Online Safey Act" and inform that platform that they are entitled to a fine/penalty of a certain % of that platform's revenue.

THIS is why all the live streams of the Irish protests went down at the same time. YouTube was only too happy to comply. Musk (and X) on the other hand tells them to F*ck Off and then blocks the individuals making the demand so that they don't have access to X.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.

IIRC, that was the second coroner. The first report said it wasn't a homicide. Said that St. George died of complications from OD (a heart attack, IIRC). Then the usual suspects started screaming and setting things on fire, so a new report was issued.

That they changed the report from "natural causes" to homicide was one of the single biggest and most outrageous miscarriages of justice in the history of miscarriages of justice.

Important. The Daily Mail has just revealed that the Belfast knife attack suspect was granted asylum in Britain under a controversial 'fast-track' scheme, introduced by Reform's Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman.

It has been reported that the monster's case was dealt with through this scheme.

Jenrick and Braverman gave him 'permission to stay here after completing a 10-page Home Office questionnaire rather than undergoing the standard – and far more rigorous - face-to-face interview process' the Mail reports.

This is traitorous.

Reform's Jenrick and Braverman have serious questions to answer.

Today.

There is one party that will deal with these savages in the appropriate manner.

Asylum system abolished, mass deportations and a referendum on the death penalty for scumbags who attempt beheadings on British streets.

Restore Britain.

It's been a long time but I finally have an update on this case and it's great news.

The migrant rapist who assaulted the young girls in Dundee, Scotland last year has been found guilty of assault along with his sister.

If you are not familiar with the story I would read through my previous exclusive reporting on the incident. I will also link an article in the replies with information from the trial.

What we learned in the trial is that the story I reported from my contact with the family has been totally vindicated. We were telling the truth, the migrants were lying.

The judge agreed after hearing testimony from witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage of the incident. The migrants will be sentenced on Aug 5th, 2026.

They would typically see 1-4 trucks a week, mostly local logging trucks. Now they're getting over half a dozen per day, all Amazon and food delivery trucks. You can't tell me that Amazon doesn't notice when these trucks go out of route. Forget the highways, ICE should be staging near every Amazon fulfillment center and Sysco warehouse in the country.

The UK government letting untold numbers of colonizers into the country and then doing nothing when these illegals, who are doing their best to prove they are culturally incompatible with Western civilization, start stabbing, raping, and in this case, cutting the eyes out of the victim and then trying to behead him...that is problem that could set off some mostly flammable protests by the rightful owners of the land.

Toss in the UK police handcuffing the guy, who was stabbed by a colonizer, and then watched him bleed out...the UK government is probably going to need to ban gas cans and matches.

The tinder is lit. Time will tell if this becomes a conflagration.

That is the problem for the soft authoritarian state, the left eviscerated the control mechanisms and they simply cannot lock up 90 percent of the population. So you get these repeated one off making examples of people but the rising tide of anger is likely to end up in a time of troubles.

And in such times, politicians will be targets along with their family. They should have learned that from the 70's to 90's prior example.

Airey Neave, Lord Mountbatten, nearly Maggie Thatcher and a bunch of her cohorts at Bournemouth, etc. etc.

The elites can be touched if the anger is enough. And I think that massive anger is accelerating while Queer Sir Keir is trying to hold onto his seat by doubling down.

That is what people don't get about political upheavals, they are like earthquakes, you get tremors that subside so the belief becomes it will always be that way. Meanwhile the stresses build up under the surface until rupture of massive and destructive power occurs.

Nothing the EU nor the UK government can do other than total reversal of policy will work now.

Then they make an excuse to want digital ID to stop illegal people working, who will just avoid using the digital ID.

Now they want bans that will need some sort of ID as proof of usage.

Fellas. I think they want to introduce digital ID whether we want it or not. There's some backhanders going on.

The Morning Rant: Will Europe Grow Up?

punk-monkey.jpg

One of the more corrosive aspects of American foreign policy with respect to NATO and Europe has been the infantilization of Western Europe. After World War II they quickly became militarily subservient to America, which, while understandable, created the conditions necessary for their massive welfare states and an equally massive shift toward cultural passivity. No longer did they see themselves as defenders of their countries and their lives...that was America's job, while they enjoyed six weeks of vacation and cradle-to-grave social services. Never mind that their medical care was awful, and their standard of living lagged far behind America's...everything was being done for them, including protecting them from the consequences of their passivity...the loss of martial spirit, patriotism, love of native culture, etc.

The results are clear! Europe is being subsumed under a tidal wave of third world immigration, led by the revolutionary political philosophy of Islam, that without some cataclysmic change will soon rule the UK, France, Belgium, and perhaps others.

Regardless of America's previous domination of European defense, it is high time that their cultures mend themselves and take responsibility for their military failings. It is axiomatic that a country that cannot defend itself cannot long survive, even in our post-modern malaise. The hordes crashing Europe's borders care not a whit about self-actualization and pronouns and transsexualism and gay marriage and policing free speech. They care about conquest, and they will succeed!

ECFR Poll: European Trust in US Defense Commitment Plunges

Europeans are increasingly questioning whether the United States would come to their defense in a military crisis, according to a new survey showing confidence in America's security commitment has fallen to record lows.

The poll, released Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), found that only 11% of respondents across 15 European countries now view the United States as an ally "sharing our interests and values," down from 22% in November 2024.

Researchers said the findings reflect "deep European distrust in the U.S." ahead of upcoming G7 and NATO summits.

While most Europeans still see America as a "necessary partner," majorities in every country surveyed said they no longer believe the U.S. would necessarily come to their aid if they were attacked.


This is magnificent news! It is the first step for Europe moving out of America's basement and finding its own place in the world! The real question is whether the existential ennui that infects most of Western Europe can be banished as they see the consequences of their subservience to American power.

Will France regain the martial spirit of de Gaulle? In 1966, he demanded that all American troops must leave France, and France left NATO's integrated command structure, leaving it as a free agent. Good or bad...it was national self-determination, and it stiffened the backbones of the French.

Will The United Kingdom regain the cold resolve of Margaret Thatcher, who dispatched the Royal Navy 8,000 miles to defend the Falklands? That was the last gasp of patriotism in the UK!

Will Germany return to the Germany of the 1980s; with a superb armed forces that knew it was first to do battle with the Soviet juggernaut, and was determined to succeed?

Time will tell, and the smart money is against all of that, but rejecting American dominance and accepting that they are all independent countries is a good start.

61 The United States has zero business pursuing alliances with Europeans. This is the 21st century, ferpetessakes. They ceased being a military force almost a century ago. They ceased being a cultural force 50 years ago. We are living through the time when they are permanently winding down their economic power, and soon they won't even be Europeans anymore, but Arabs.

In no world does it make sense to waste time, effort or money on these useless eaters, and there is huge downside potential to it... you might as well say "I was thinking about eating this shit sandwich. I mean, sure, it tastes like shit, but at least it could make me extremely ill."

We need to wind down our military commitments, withdraw our nuclear weapons and demand, menacingly if necessary, their own denuclearization. From there, we need to seek to diplomatically and economically isolate these nascent Arab States.

83 I think it's entirely possible that there is too much grift and fraud in European public budgets for them to be capable of defending themselves, until their existing Ruling Class is removed from power, root and branch. And that might not be possible either. What if the replacement clique would just immediately go about duplicating the lazy beak-wetting of their predecessors?

That could happen if it's engrained in their culture now. Their whole nations could simply be too corrupt muster resistance to an invasion of lightly-armed barbarians, let alone field a First World military.

And if that sounds far-fetched, I refer you to California's bespoke, artisanal cougar/butterfly bridge, that crossed the $100M mark and still wasn't done, when other states provide the same function for $15M. That gives us a baseline floor of at least 85% of their budget being grift, fraud, and waste. And Europe's public administrator cultures are much older and more entrenched.

They could be even *worse* than California. It sounds like fiction, but I am dead serious when I say that the same countries that made whole continents burn not 80 years ago, could now be incapable of stopping a rubber boat.

96 "The hordes crashing Europe's borders care not a whit about self-actualization and pronouns and transsexualism and gay marriage and policing free speech."

I keep thinking about the "hard times create strong men" progression, and hope we are there. There are glimmerings here and there, but we need a lot more.

The "good times create weak men, weak men create hard times" cycle has allowed the complete inversion of Maslow's hierarchy, and much of the "elite" west has so little concern with being fed, sheltered, and warm that they have been able to create that vast shrill needy medicated cesspit of self-actualization in which we have all been stewing.

When it's in the Faraday bag, it cannot receive a call. On order for cellphones to work at all, they have to ping and be pinged by cell towers on an ongoing basis. So your location can be known by the authorities. But if you can prevent the phone from scooping up images and audio of your daily life, and conversations with other people in meatspace, you have some degree of protection.

Lizzy, there are a lot of things one can do to protect your privacy online, EFF has some suggestions. But in reality, all governments, including even places like East Germany, run into the reality you cannot arrest all of your citizens--sooner or later they are going to do what they are going to do and the only thing you can do is tamp it down a bit.

I think what we are seeing is effectively the death of Labor and the globo homo regime in Westminster. Sweden, which used to be ground central for globo homo, has shut the doors on refugees as have the Danes. Eastern Europe is not going along with the EU, Greeks are using the new EU law to kick out refugees to Africa etc. before they are processed.

Starmer and his ilk's time has run out. Same with the Tory do nothings and when it comes out that the Sudanese head hunter was granted asylum by Sunak's policy along with Reform UK Braverman who was Tory Home Sec at the time, etc.,

And during that time of course, "globalists" became neo-tribalists or meta-tribalists. Their tribe became "globalists", such that being not-as-global became sin.

Because they waged wars in the flesh, because other people with other ideas became a hindrance to Man's enterprise of Globalism.

I am not sure yet. Drones may seem like the hot new thing and they may well displace some aircraft, but I think defense has just not caught up to the offensive capabilities yet.

Military technology has always been a race between defense and offense. If there is parity then training and tactics rule the day (see: Romans.)

Not really, even in the UK it is about 6-7 percent. Right now, what we are seeing and why the resistance is that these invaders were concentrated in major dying UK cities like inner London, Manchester, Liverpool, etc. but are now being distributed around the country. Much as happened during the Biden administration where they dumped illegals in small towns, etc.

The native populations are now realizing that their government intentionally means to harm and replace them and there is nowhere to run away to anymore. This concentrates the mind when the insulation from bad government choices is stripped away and why I think you will see far more burning out the illegals as the tactical choice in Ireland, UK, Netherlands, and Germany. In France and Belgium, it is perhaps too late for anything other than military action to expel the invaders as they have literally taken over many urban districts and cleansed them of whites as no go areas.

The 56th edition brought together (Jan. 2026) approximately 2,500 to 3,000 global leaders, including nearly 65 heads of state and government, as well as top corporate executives, civil society voices, and academics.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte strongly defended the relevance of the trans-Atlantic alliance. He pressured European nations to rapidly increase defense investments, scale drone manufacturing, and integrate AI into military operations.

(There were also panels about Greenland 'friction' & calls for greater regional economic sovereignty in Europe.)

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy delivered a blunt special address questioning NATO’s readiness to respond to raw aggression. He advocated for a unified European "coalition of action" & an integrated European military force. He noted plainly that "no security guarantees work without the US."

Zelensky announced a foundational deal regarding post-war security guarantees had been reached, setting the stage for trilateral peace talks in the UAE.

A long time ago, in the early 2000's, I worked with big databases and before that smaller ones that tied to bigger units. The major problem with interconnected data is ratty/bad data that reduces the certainty of any summary report. So an individual can easily introduce ratty data into their own dossier by a number of tactics--pay cash for things every now and then, take your phone at times, don't take it at times, sign up for the favored customer crap but don't use it all the time and use different variations of your name and addresses. Particularly abbreviations so the OCR/data gets messed up. Spell out dRIVE instead of DR and so on--use the general zip instead of the zip plus four, get a commercial service to delete your name from every bit of databrokers you can afford, etc.

Will France regain the martial spirit of de Gaulle? In 1966, he demanded that all American troops must leave France, and France left NATO's integrated command structure, leaving it as a free agent. Good or bad...it was national self-determination, and it stiffened the backbones of the French.




It's not as much about De Gaulle wanting to turn France into a free agent, it was more like, De Gaulle could read a map. If the Sovs came west, they'd have to go through West Germany and the other NATO powers before they ended up on the French border. So France would be defended from the Sovs no matter what, and the Frogs leaving the NATO military structure saved them money and allowed them to continue trying to rebuild their overseas empire. And as they'd never left the NATO political structure, they had a say in how NATO was run, without concrete military obligations.

Best of both worlds.

I think when it comes time to actually agreeing, that Hungary will start giving excuses. That PM was formerly a member of Orban's party and has not done much on globo homo as expected.

The tide is going out and the desperation that the left and their uniparty right is exhibiting by trying to ban, revote, etc. destroys the very legitimacy of these governments to actually rule.

They don't actually have the coercive forces that the old Russian/Eastern Bloc has--it is mainly threatening and browbeating with occasional people being made examples of.

So like a person confronting a bear without a firearm, they try to puff themselves up to be as big as they can appear to scare the bear away. If the bear is hungry or mad enough, that doesn't work.

Soft authoritarianism is in many ways, the weakest when push comes to shove because no one believes in the ruling regime anymore--they just go through the motions from stasis.

Not to say you should never leave, and I’ve traveled a lot I get rationally. But if Germany had tropical beaches a much smaller percent of Germans would bother with passports.

______

The 30% figure is complete bullshit too. It's at least 50% now. And what do Euros need with passports anyway? They don't need passports to travel in the EU. Most of them have passports to travel to ... the USA. Some of the biggest tourist destinations in the world -- and I think the biggest -- are in USA.

Posted by: polynikes
====
Most people skip to the Treaty of Versailles without regarding what happened after the Franco Prussian war. Essentially Germany got the same reparations terms that France did after losing that war and since WWI was mostly fought on French soil, France in WWI was far more devastated.

In comparison with the whinging Germans after WWI, the French paid off a truly massive reparations bill (which coincidentally aided Germans in building a massive military), early in a couple of years. Damn near broke the country and caused worldwide panics due to its affect on currency markets. And the Germans took for spite, Bismarck disagreed with it incidentally, Alsace and Lorraine from France and promptly sought to ethnically cleanse it.

Germans complain way too much about Versailles and like most bullies, ignore what they did before WWI--the main reason WWII happened is that the Allies blinked when they could have stuffed Shitler right when his meager troops crossed into the Rhineland at little cost.

In other words, you have to remove the diversity to get the strength.

The 11% are the lazy mohammedans that aren't willing to engage in crime to get their hands on machine guns, they're expecting governments to provide them.

Only about 1-2% will actually be accurate with them though. The other 9-10% will spray-and-pray from the hip, no matter how much you train them. From what I've read, that was a constant complaint of US troops working with the Iraqis or Afghans. They'd eventually start shooting accurate, aimed fire at the range with a lot of training, but as soon as they were out in the field? Mag dumps from the hip.

The war has been a strategic disaster for Russia as the meager tactical gains have not been worth the destruction and cost of the war. He was too arrogant, like the Germans in WWI, to figure out that his military could not match his bravado.

Reminds me of the pointless Iran-Iraq war in the 80's--both sides lost . Ukraine could never 'win' against Russia but won in a strategic sense by simply surviving. Russia possibly could have 'won' but its decapitation strike failed . Since then it has become a war of attrition and Ukraine, being the weaker party, has become adept and more nimble in leveraging tech than Russia has to replace lost manpower. So stalemate essentially on the battleground while Russia became a pariah internationally forcing NATO expansion.

And the French resented the Germans taking their land and ethnically cleansing French, the Belgians resented their neutral country being invaded in violation of a treaty which Germany declared it would never do. Basically, the Germans fucked around and found out. I have no sympathy whatsoever for the Germans in WWI. They precipitated the crisis and documents captured post War indicate clearly that Germany was intent on invading France--the earlier Moroccan crises just about lit off the war early. But the whole Von Schiefflen plan rested on invading neutral countries and destroying France before pivoting toward the Russians to destroy their armies.

I have no sympathy for Germans either in WWI or WWII for their deaths and sufferings--they brought it upon themselves. Just like France did with Napoleon and before with the endless wars over religion. Being stupid trying to gain territory/resources/reparations by violence using total war became strategically stupid when mass armies were created.

122 Evening Calm, Concarneau, Opus 220 (Allegro Maestoso), 1891
Paul Signac

The Musical Connection: Signac was fascinated by the analogies between art and music. He painted five related images of fishing boats in the Brittany town of Concarneau, assigning each a musical tempo as a subtitle.
This piece is titled Allegro Maestoso (meaning "quick, lively, and majestic").

Technique: Following Georges Seurat's rigorous color theory, Signac used the pointillist method. He applied unmixed, precise strokes and dots of color separately onto the canvas, allowing the viewer's eyes to optically blend the brilliant hues into a radiant glow.

Visual Theme: The painting depicts the serene, flat waters of the Concarneau harbor. It is known for its luminous, pastel-toned sky and the subtle interplay of oranges, blues, yellows, and purples reflecting off the water.

I like the 'personality' of yesterday's painting a great deal, but this painting is very nice - and part of such a unique theme for fishing boats - and I would certainly consider hanging it.

Thanks

124 Like yesterday's art, the Pointillism technique becomes another element of the image. Not just what is shown but how. In this case the intricate combinations of the dots of color help create the atmosphere of a light misty morning on the water. It's effective.

This makes me want to learn how the colors are chosen to create the effect desired. I assume it's not just trial and error.

125 'This case was never about race. There's going to be those people now, just, you know, try to throw shade on the whole trial with the jury makeup and the speed of it and that sort of thing.

'I mean, those are the same people that said he was jumped by four people. He had, his phone was broken. You're going to spin whatever story to try to keep yourself afloat.'

He added: 'I'll even say this: I had a little bit of sorrow because I'm human. And that poor boy is fixing to experience a life that I would not wish upon anyone.'

The thing that people want to walk around is that the murder Lil' Stabby committed was one hundred percent about race.

The trial was about a murder, with no racial component not brought by Lil' Stacy's fellow racists. It was about justice for a murder victim.

I would have thought that the artist would vary the spacing of the dots to create the shapes and depth of the objects, but the dots are actually fairly evenly spaced (to my eye at least) and the varying colors and light/dark contrast are used for defining the shapes.

143 I learned that Pointillism is usually done with oil paints, at least the ones in museums. But the choice of the colors, often a bit richer than realism, makes me think of the intensity of soft pastels which are so vibrant.

I'm intrigued by the technique. Paul Signac's Wiki page includes a self portrait done in ink using the Pointillist technique. It is so subtle and detailed it looks like it could be a photo that has been pixilated, if that's the term, in Photoshop.

I was taking a walk there . I think by her accent she was probably from Ghana or nearby . Since I thanked her for her work with people and told her that I hope she had a good day she was probably not going to accost me on behalf of Carmelo.

179 Carrying over a conversation from the ONT, it occurs to me ask for a reality check. Regarding Jasmine Crockett referring to Dr. Avelda King as 'child', I told Fen that it's not quite as bad as 'boy' but still clear-cut vicious condescension.

But I'm not actually in their culture. My understanding is that ADOS (as opposed to African immigrants) are hyper-sensitive to diminutives, addressing an adult like a child, because they associate it with slavery culture. But for all I know they go around calling each other 'child' all the time. They certainly have a double standard with the n-word, so it wouldn't be unprecedented.

Too many people underestimate Trump's tenacity here including House and Senate members. Remember the whole border wall issue in his first term, McConnell and Ryan just weren't going to close the border. Now, the wall is nearing completion, we have net population decrease due to illegals/etc. leaving, funding for kicking out a bunch more through 2029 regardless of who controls Congress, etc.

Iran would do well to remember this as well. Trump is willing to wheel and deal to get chunks of what he wants while giving some often temporary concessions but he will always come back to grab some more if he really wants something done. Same with renovating DC, he goes around, below, above, etc. obstacles.

The Morning Report — 6/ 11 /26

CaramelloPayDay.jpg

Good morning kids.

Well another day and another seeming red line in the sand drawn by President Trump in front of the Mullahs.

The US military launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran Wednesday evening, hours after President Trump warned additional attacks on the Islamic Republic were coming to try and force Tehran to re-enter serious peace negotiations.
“U.S. Central Command [CENTCOM] forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” the Tampa, Fla.-based combat command said in a statement on X.
“The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”
. . . Asked what he’ll do if Tehran doesn’t make a deal, the president responded: “We’ll bomb the s–t out of them tomorrow.”
Trump also revealed he spoke with top Iranian officials in the Situation Room who begged him to stop bombing.  

Wait, what have we been doing for the past few months already?! Look, the Mullahs are an absolute existential threat to us and to civilization itself, but bombing the shit out of them thus far has not really done the job insofar as removing the danger posed by the regime itself which despite everything is still in power and given the nature of Islam will remain in power regardless of who the cardboard cutout-du-jour is today or will be tomorrow. And with that I give you this unsettling observation by friend and friend of the blog the estimable Robert Spencer

The Iranian state-controlled West Asia News Agency (WANA) picked up on the story, and it’s easy to see why. WANA reported Tuesday that “several foreign and Israeli media outlets have claimed that $3 billion worth of Iranian assets was transferred from Abu Dhabi to Tehran on a recent flight, reportedly as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation in the region.”

This was not a transaction that solely involved the United Arab Emirates and the Islamic Republic of Iran. WANA continued: “According to a report by Israel’s Kan broadcaster, the assets were transferred to Tehran on a flight from Abu Dhabi. The report alleges that, in return, Iran was asked to halt its attacks against Israel. Kan further claimed that the message accompanying the transfer, reportedly delivered on behalf of the United States, included assurances that Israel would suspend its military operations in Lebanon.”. . .Oh, surely not, right? This must be propaganda from Iran’s Islamic regime, right? They’re just trying to make Donald Trump look as if he has morphed into Barack Obama, bribing the Iranian leaders to be good so as to burnish his legacy and give the appearance of peace while actually kicking the problem of the Islamic Republic of Iran down the road for some future president to deal with — right?

Well, maybe. And yet… given Trump’s recent behavior, the report, which appears indeed to have originated with Israel’s Kan, is really not as farfetched as we all wish it were. Would Trump have done this, despite his previous disdain for Obama’s nuclear deal, and the billions that Obama sent to Tehran in addition to concluding that disastrous agreement?

. . .Sure he would. Trump is now avid to make a deal with the Islamic Republic that will bring down gas prices and allow him to claim victory (as well as, finally, get that Nobel Peace Prize he so desperately covets). He is drawing red line after red line for the leaders of the Islamic Republic and then allowing them to cross those red lines with impunity. He has ordered Israel not to retaliate to Iranian strikes, and shrugged off Iranian violations of his ridiculous ceasefire as unimportant, signaling for Tehran and all the world that he lacks the will to fight and will give anything, anything to the leaders of Iran’s Islamic regime if they’ll just let him play peacemaker. So why not three billion dollars? Yet at the same time, Trump said Wednesday: “We’re going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard.” He added: “I’ve been working with Iran for a number of months, and they should sign their deal. It’s a good deal. It doesn’t give them the right to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, it totally prohibits them from ever having a nuclear weapon.”

The Iranian Islamic regime will never agree to that. If it does, it will only be so as to buy time in order to gather its strength, in view of the moment when it resumes its jihad against the United States and Israel. In light of the fact that it has not ever really stopped that jihad, that moment will likely come quite soon, whatever Trump does at this point.

Well, I certainly hope Robert Spencer's fears about the President are unjustified and yet despite the pulverizing sustained aerial assault that no doubt the President and his advisers thought would cause the regime to collapse like a soggy biryani, the word negotiations is all the rage. The only thing that should be "negotiated" is the date and time of Iran's unconditional surrender. Oh well, oh well.

And that goes double to the nth degree for the Democrat Party and Leftists here at home. It and they cannot be eradicated (figuratively speaking of course) fast enough for my liking because for the better part of our nearly 250-year history they have gone pedal to the metal to quite literally eradicate us! The bitter irony of ironies is that they have used and abused blacks as the tip of the spear in their lethal assault on the American experiment. Yet again they have turned a black youth who brutally murdered a white classmate into the victim and the victim into the perpetrator. The reaction by this hack alleged singer is typical...

The case grabbed national headlines for ghoulish reasons. The facts were never in doubt, beyond the worst of the worst fever swamps. Metcalf was unarmed. Anthony used a small knife to stab the teen in the heart after a disagreement.
That explains the jury’s quick pace. Singer Cardi B sees it differently.
The “WAP” singer posted a series of comments on X yesterday decrying the 35-year sentence Anthony received for the murder. Cardi B Decries Karmelo Anthony Sentence: ‘Not Justice’

this foul shit-whore actually has a point. It was not justice because he should've got the death penalty.

In a not unrelated story, one of the worst poisoners of our culture insofar as perpetuating the deadly blood-libel of America and white people as bigoted and racist is the SPLC .. .

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center. Republicans are rightfully scrutinizing the organization's practices, and one of their witnesses was Dr. Alveda King. 

In case you're unfamiliar with Dr. King, she's a child of the Civil Rights movement. Her father is Alfred Daniel King, the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr., and she's quite accomplished in her own right. She represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Democrat, but she eventually switched to the Republican Party and has famously said that she is a Christian first before associating with any political party. 
Like her father and uncle, Alveda has chosen to dedicate her life to speaking up for those who can't speak for themselves. However, in her case, it's the unborn — she's had two abortions and was nearly aborted by her own mother before her grandfather talked her out of it, and after becoming a born-again Christian in 1983, she changed her views on the matter. She believes abortion and racial discrimination go hand-in-hand, and has said that Planned Parenthood profits from killing "black babies." 
She has served as an advisory board member for Black Voices for Trump, and she's currently the senior advisor on Faith and Community Outreach for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She's also the chair of the Center for the American Dream at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), and she has advised Donald Trump in other roles throughout the years. 
But none of that is good enough for Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). According to her, Dr. King isn't black enough. Or isn't King enough. Or something. . .
. . ."Congresswoman, I am a bit emotional. I'm going to watch what I say, but it seems as though you have suggested that I am a bastard to the King family legacy," Alveda said. "I am legitimately the daughter of the Rev. Alfred Daniel Williams King and Dr. Naomi Ruth Barber King. We are a family who loves God. And I love you. God bless you." 
Not that Crockett was around to see it. She got up and left — you can hear the door slam — in the midst of Alveda's words. 


To call Jasmine Crockett dog excrement would be a cruel and demeaning insult to canine feces.

22 MoD Sec. John Healy was seeking 18 billion in funding to modernize the British military. But he was being told that the government could not borrow any more money nor could other ministries reduce their spending.

Today Keir Starmer is supposed to release his Defense Investment Programme, DIP, that was designed to strengthen the military. But rumours were already swirling before today that the proposed Type 83 destroyer was already on the chopping block.

So, is it any wonder that Healy said 'bollocks' and packed it in?

37 Morning all. Seems we might be seeing the start of the 9th Crusade.


🚨BREAKING: Outrage in Italy after an Albanian man was brutally attacked and nearly beheaded by a North African gang for defending an elderly Italian man during a robbery in Fermo.

The gang entered a restaurant, harassed and demanded money from the elderly man. When the Albanian intervened to protect him, the attackers dragged him outside, beat him severely, struck his head with stones, and allegedly attempted to behead him — while reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

The brave defender is now in a coma, fighting for his life.

This horrific incident has sparked widespread anger over crime and integration failures.

I could give a shit about Iranians that want to be free because I don’t think they exist because they’ve all been slaughtered. If I were Iranian and still had freedom loving relatives over there I’d much rather they take their chances dodging U.S. bombs than dodging IRGC death squads. They’re f’ed either way. The only “deal” from Trump these sonofabitches should get is death.
No more comments please about “abandoning Trump”. I’m not abandoning Trump even if he fucks this up and I don’t think others here are going to do that that have problems with his handling of this.

52 1987 (June 20) – Cotton Bowl in Dallas (General Admission – $20.25)
Boston
Aerosmith
Whitesnake
Poison
Tesla
Farrenheit
Notes: The live concert footage for Poison's video "I Won't Forget You" was filmed at this performance. The crowd seemed wild about Poison while in actuality a drunk concertgoer was on top of a lighting tower (about 30' up) trampolining on the tarp roof in nothing but a pair of blue jeans. The crowd really enjoyed him and the Dallas PD's attempt to get him safely to the ground. Also, Poison was joined onstage by Paul Stanley for their performance of KISS' "Strutter". The temperature in Dallas that day reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit, prompting many in the very crowded ground area to pass out and be lifted overhead to the indoor areas of the stadium where there were water fountains. Water from hoses was also sprayed on the concertgoers in the field.


The guy actually got to the top of the scaffold during Whitesnake.

62 The efficacy of the strikes on Iran last night depends on what comes next. Does the US keep up the military pressure, or do we stop and do 60 more days of talking about it? We’ll see.

It was gratifying to see that a full half of the target list last night were those that I and many others have been saying have to be hit hard - naval bases, radar stations, and weapons sites along the southern coast of the Straits. THAT is how shipping can be opened back up, and it’s always been inexplicable as to why that was all skipped in the original bombing campaign.

We can’t do regime change through bombing, but we CAN remove Iran’s ability to interfere with the straits. Last night was finally a step towards doing that.

Were we to go back to a social and judicial system whereby cheaters of the system were socially and legally destroyed, fewer people (by orders of magnitude) would cheat in the first place.

81 That excerpt from Spencer pretty much encapsulates how I feel about the whole thing.

I think that Trump, in his desperation to make a deal and look like a "peace maker" is making some bad decisions.

You cannot negotiate with death cultist religious fanatics. They don't adhere to our Western rationality mindset. Their values structure is completely inverted from ours. There is no common ground, and they will never negotiate in good faith - it will only appear that they are in order to bide time for them to come up with some other terror plot or scheme.

The sooner Trump recognizes this the better.

Salina, where I met had Wolfus, had 113 mph winds registered, and is still recovering. The town near me only had 103 mph wind.

More storms last night, but the tornado warning box was 5 miles to the north. Missed me again.

Just the other day, I was working out in my gym with my PT and there were two other older ladies (both in face diapers btw) working out with their PT on the other end of the space... at the end I had to overhear a conversation about how we on the right have perverted the teachings of Christ to fit our agenda.

Up here there is absolutely zero social stigma over being a radical, virulent leftist. Its encouraged. Its seen as a virtue and it gets you status.

101 I'm still getting caught up on yesterday's renewed strikes on Iran/IRGC. Seems we focused a bit more on the Hormuz area. I think the IRGC reconstituted some of their positions there as we previously hit some of it.

And it appears the commercial shipping industry is still bowing to Iran and using their "toll booth" shipping route. That's going to be a problem until we pry the IRGC out of the Hormuz region so they can't threaten the commercial vessels traveling in/out of the Gulf.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I will probably vote for her, despite telling her many times, to her face once even, that her voting record lost her my vote. If she were running against Mills, or even some other generic Democrat, I might stick to my guns, but I guess I'll just need to be a big fat hypocrite since Platner can't happen.

I'm honestly more worried about the Governor's race.

So if SpaceX is really worth 1.75T it’s being priced as a tech stock not an aerospace company. BUT… it’s an aerospace company!!

There were the 1216, 1225 and 1297 follow-on versions of the Magna Carta, but unlike the original, they didn't claim rights came from God. They had the authority of a statute, which means they can be overridden at the down of a hat.

I think Spencer is wrong here. Trump does want a Peace Prize, but not at the cost of fixing a problem that he's publicly said that 47 years of POTUSs couldn't (or wouldn't) do. Trump is playing a complex game. He knows that all-out war will spike oil prices unacceptably. He also knows that his 'deal in 2-3 days' schtick calms the markets and depresses oil prices. He will do this as long as necessary to starve out Iran with the blockades that are now in force. If he can keep doing this through the midterms if needed (and I think he will), he'll get through Nov and then have the pimp hand to take it to IRGC once and for all. That, I think, is his plan.

Buckley isn't overrated. The seeds of the America we see today were planted in the post-war 50s hothouse of academia. When God & Man at Yale was published, it was as radical as seeing Charlie Kirk at a TPUSA rally in modern times. In fact, Buckley in his way was Kirk's forebear. He laid and popularized the intellectual framework that gave us Reagan. He's a giant of the conservative movement.

Buckley did, however, outlive his usefulness.

if we go east, we can be through a bunch of states quickly. they are all annoying states tho

if we want to go to good states (or even the good parts of our state), it's like 5-7 hours for each one lol. unless you go down thru WVa way you can do the first couple quickly and then it gets long.

In part, "June 3 (Reuters) - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called on Wednesday for dialogue between Ukraine and Poland to help defuse tensions after Kyiv renamed an army unit after nationalist insurgents involved in ​massacres of Poles in World War Two.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has caused indignation in Poland ‌by signing a decree recognising a Ukrainian special forces unit's contribution to the current war effort against Russia by naming it after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or UPA.
As well as fighting the Nazis and the forces ​of the then Soviet Union to carve out an independent Ukraine, the UPA was ​involved in the Volhynia massacres, a series of killings from 1943 to 1945 ⁠in which Poland says around 100,000 Poles were killed. Thousands of Ukrainians died in reprisal ​killings."

"You can't stop the president from … going to a game. But it did feel a little dark in there."

She compared the energy to when a school principal shows up to class.

"It felt like the principal was there, and everybody had to be on their best behavior …," she said. "But, nevertheless."
...
"I'm still so proud of them," she said, adding she wants all Knicks fans to come to her Instagram Live before the game to do a "prayer circle" for the team.

Cardi's performed her breakout hit "Bodak Yellow" wearing a gray corset and leggings, surrounded by New York Knicks dancers. She also sat courtside at the game with son Wave, who "had a blast."

(It's been written: Released in 2017, the song is a brash anthem about wealth, her background as a former stripper, & asserting dominance in the rap industry. It made history as the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit by a solo female rapper at the time.)

375 Outrageous Spending Of Karmelo Anthony’s Family Revealed As Fundraiser Gets Shut Down

Posted by: SMOD at June 11, 2026 10:34 AM (RHGPo)

376 In a tiny way, I do have some pity for Karnotsomelo Anthony:

He was obviously guilty as sin, but rather than do the clearly sensible thing and get to some deal with the prosecution, his parents chose to play him like a racial-political football, hired Crump Lite (an ex-convict at that) to represent, and blew most of their donations on cars and a McMansion. Mini-Crump didn't even stay for the sentencing but hopped into a black SUV to chase his next racial ambulance.

His parents were abject failures raising him, and doubled down every step of the way thereafter.

He'd best get hold of a Bible and make God's Word his best friend.

Sorry for your being up early.

Yesterday's school bus story. A mother of a second grader asked that her son be moved. He's now sitting up toward the front of the bus , because two other second graders in the back told him They were going to bring knives on the bus and stab him. The boy can be a bit mouthy, but that seems a bit of an overreaction.

14 @6/FenelonSpoke: Annoying situation that. The threats are almost assuredly "not real" and just bluster. Kids say a lot of stupid things.

The disciplinary actions are also mostly just bluster, and I think the kids know it, hence their bad behaviour: They know they won't get seriously punished for doing (or threatening) bad things.

Two weeks to go. I'm tired of putting up with the kids' crap.

I don't doubt it. My first year I didn't really get why every driver knew exactly how many days were left till the end of the school year as we headed into the last two months. Last year, I had an absolute peach of a route.

That got taken away from me at the beginning of this year and I got assigned two routes that are best described as "problematic".

Now I'm counting down the days. I get it now. *sighs*

43 G'morning or g'evening depending where youy may be. We have passed through another Woden's Day here, and are starting yet another day of Thor. ("I'm tho thore I can hardly move!")

I dreamed something fragmentary last night in which I was sitting in my car aboard a commuter train that took cars across a river. An exec of the train line told me, "We're gonna get rid of all these cars!" To which I said, "Do that and you'll get rid of your job. People *want* their cars with them during the day!"

I was trying to dial my cell phone, which somehow had gotten soaked and insisted on putting a "0" in front of every number I entered, thus scotching the call, when I woke up.

Wednesday Night ONT - June 11, 2026 [TRex]

06102026-agnieszkamonk-lobster-cage-2073032_640.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional but why would you be wearing pants for the ONT? Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Will reading the ONT content improve your odds of winning the Powerball lottery? Dunno but couldn't hurt to read the content and ensure you're right with the universe.

This seems newsy...

Antares Achieves Criticality of Mark-0 Reactor

Antares today announced that its Mark-0 microreactor achieved initial criticality at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) authorization - making Antares the first private company to bring an advanced reactor to criticality under the DOE Reactor Pilot Program. The demonstration was conducted in partnership with DOE, INL, and BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT), with integration and observation support from the U.S. Army.

This reactor validates key reactor physics parameters for Antares' reactors and contributes verification and validation data back to the Department of War's Project Pele. The Mark-0 was authorized by DOE under the Reactor Pilot Program, with the U.S. Army integrated throughout as a future end user. This model of interagency coordination directly supports the Army's microreactor deployment timeline.

The demonstration and the licensing pathway it establishes represent a key step toward deploying electricity-producing microreactors for U.S. military installations by September 30, 2028.

Shakeup at JPL? Control over iconic NASA center could change for 1st time in nearly 100 years

NASA plans to open up competition for control over the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which has historically been operated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). This move is part of an even larger reorganization by the agency (though NASA asserts that this doesn't mean layoffs).

"NASA announced today that they will compete the contract for operating JPL, with Caltech's current agreement ending on Sept. 30, 2028," reads a statement today (May 22) from JPL. Caltech has managed JPL since the lab's inception in the 1930s, and has done so for NASA since the agency was established in 1958. According to the JPL statement, Caltech has been preparing for this possible transition since last summer, so the news "comes as no surprise." But the potential change is part of a larger shakeup for the agency.

Until now, JPL and Caltech have been heavily intertwined, with mission personnel, scientists, leadership, and others working closely "across the pond" between JPL and Caltech. JPL mission and program meetings often include Caltech employees and sometimes even take place on its Pasadena campus.

Wednesday ONT Department of Resting Places

Never seen this before, not new, and don't have any idea how it found me. Pretty sure that means that I must share it with you.

A visit to Plot E - final resting place of the the dishonored dead.

Plot E of the Oise-Aisne American cemetery in northern France.

Go ahead and look. You won't find it listed on the Veterans Administration website, nor any of the literature provided by the cemetery. Maps will show Plots A, B, C, and D only, those containing 6012 American dead from WWI. Google Earth will just show an expanse of green. It's like it doesn't exist, which is exactly what its creators intended.

But it's very much there, and serves a necessary if somewhat unsavory purpose.

Plot E is where American servicemen are buried who were executed - by firing squad or hanging - for capital crimes committed in the European theatre during or shortly after WWII.

Some of the victims were children. Many were women. Most are forgotten by the modern age, though at least one - Sir Eric Teichman, killed on his ancestral estate confronting two U.S. soldiers poaching on the land - was a prominent member of society who still has his own Wikipedia page.

Wednesday ONT Fashion Thread

Bona fide T. rex leather purse is going up for auction - and it could fetch $500K

trexhandbag.jpg

Bidding paddles are sure to go flying in the air as auctioneer Alexandre Giquello of Hôtel Drouot in Paris, France, accepts offers on the first-ever handbag made with collagen from lab-grown Tyrannosaurus rex fossils, which were reportedly exhumed in the US...

With an asking price ranging from €300,000 to 500,000 ($347,081 to $578,469), the ancient accessory is an expensive, albeit exclusive piece that will go to the highest bidder with the deepest pockets.

Following an extensive process - including harvesting T. rex DNA, conducting phylogenetic analyses, inserting the materials into a specialized bio-leather cell line genome, transforming the cells into skin and sustainably tanning the skin to create the leather - the scientists have managed to make primeval magic.

Should I be impressed with the scientific homage to prehistoric dino ancestors or horrified at the involuntary transformation of T. rex DNA into a purse?

Eess next...dino wear. Very nice.

YouTube is filled with niche channels. When anyone can broadcast their own content, the barriers to entry are low. The possibility of monetization creates incentives to create content. Of course, easier access does not mean higher quality. There is a staggering amount of garbage, but there are gems out there.

People with very specific content somehow get connected to others with sympathies for that specific content. Instead of "broadcasting," it is called "narrowcasting." More to say about this in coming ONTs, but we're going to feature one niche YouTube channel with a surprisingly (at least to me) large following each Wednesday.

Tonight's feature is Matt Horn, the drum tech. 96k+ subscribers and videos that often exceed 100k views each. His videos are usually his point of view as he goes about his working day and does his job. Nothing fancy. No highly polished graphics or editing. No bad narrator or overhyped dramatic background music.

And then the S-IB, the first stage of the Saturn IB rocket, the orbital only launch vehicle for the Apollo CSM, was Chrysler. It was derisively nicknamed "Cluster's last stand" due to the configuration of a cluster of Redstone tanks and H-1 engines.

I had something like that happen to me a couple of years ago. As I was entering the Harbor Freeway a somewhat well dressed man was stopped on the side of the on-ramp. He was out of his car signaling frantically like he needed help. I thought I saw a woman in the car. Thinking it might be a medical emergency I called 911 which rings into the CHP. I described the situation and the dispatcher described him back to a 'T' before I even finished.

'Oh that's just so and do. So that's where he is today. It's a scam. People stop and he tries to sell them jewelry or something.' We'll send someone out to get him off the ramp....

The current thinking is that Theropods, (T-rexes, deinonychus, all of them two footed dinos) included various bird genus, of which only Aves, modern birds that is, survived the KT event.
And most theropods had feathers, the way that pterosaurs and azhdarchids had pycnofibers and were "fuzzy".
There is no evidence that T-Rexes had feathers, though they may have had some on a ruff on the neck, or on the spine.

My dad's old phone had no dial. You just picked up the receiver, hit the hook once, and told the operator whom you wished to speak with.

We had a party line, with four other houses on the line. Best way to catch up on the local gossip, since most of the ladies were home all day and once the housework was done, they yakked endlessly. Heaven forbid I should want to phone a friend. No time for that, honey.

There’s a Chinese fossil bed that has produced some truly spectacular finds, incredible detail. Casts of skin with pinion holes and all kinds of stuff.

Should add that the line thought to be related to birds is the Theropods, the Bird Hipped dinosaurs. Most of the predators and 2 legged ones. The Sauropods, the great big ones, still look like they completely died out, as did the marine creatures like the Mosasaur.

Interesting trivia.

When Florida changed their license plate format to 3 letters and three numbers back in the late '70's, it became common knowledge that plates starting with 'Z' were rental cars. I recall they had to change it after a few incidents of tourists being targeted because of the plate.

The first I visited D.C. was in '98, when I met a guy who constantly got calls from tourists. The city was small enough that local calls didn't need an area code, so you had to prepend a 1- to call out.

So as I understand it, what would happen is that if you were visiting D.C., tried to call someone from a certain place, and didn't preface it with 1- for long distance, then the area code, prefix, and first digit of the suffix would turn into his local seven-digit number and ring his cell phone before you could finish dialing.

So he turned it into a sort of game, a magic trick, telling strangers where they were from, since he knew the area code and prefix they were attempting to call.

270 William Shatner was at a screening of "Star Trek II" and it was amazing how lively he was for a 95 year old. He had a lot of great stories (well rehearsed I'm sure), never really showed his age other than occasionally groping for a proper name, and wandered back and forth on the stage, rather than sitting the entire time.

If I was going to live to be 95, which I honestly hope doesn't happen, I'd like to be in his condition. And yeah, I imagine the Metrons will invite him to their planet and gain a bit of wisdom.

Not a good director at all, a great actor (in the right role), but a hell of a human being.

They call landing on Mars seven minutes of terror. It takes about 7 minutes from atmospheric entry to touchdown. Average one-way light time from Mars is about 14 minutes, so by the time they get the signal the lander has started the entry sequence, it's been 7 minutes since it either landed or crashed.

287 I got some ancient looking thing in the garage. Looks like something from petticoat junction. It works, its hooked up.

Can you call out on it?

Try something please. See if you can dial, just using the on-hook, off-hook buttons. For a 7, for example, hit the on/off hook button 7 times real fast, pause, and then do the next numbers.
Just curious if your service still supports pulse dialing…

296 Thanks for the ONT, T-Rex. I had forgotten that song by Billy Joel and really love it.

We used to deep sea fish with my father off of Panama City, FL every year. He also had a large Cris-Craft he mostly like to speed in (being a Marine). We did take it to the MS Gulf and he kept land in sight as he was crazy and did not have a radio. I was never fazed.

The one time we took my new husband fishing on the boat he always chartered was during a bad storm. So bad once we got out of the bay we would be in troughs with waves over our heads. I know this because I was harfing off the side of the boat, holding onto ropes in the rain. All of my men were below decks but I could not deal with it. The five of them had bunks and would look at me when I'd go plead with my father to tell the captain to turn back. It was hideous to the point with dehydration I thought the guy was trying to kill us.

Never before or since have had motion sickness. I tried hard not to puke until the fat first mate wiped sweat off his blubber with a paper towel and then ate a baloney and cheese sandwhich at 9am.

We had survival laughing hysteria all the way back to the beach house. Initiation for my husband.

Yesterday evening we had F-35's doing maneuvers in and out of mountain canyons. Normally fly overs for holidays. I finally went out on the deck and got a video or two but then they quit, seeing me in my nightgown and all. Poor pilots. It was loud and they were right above our house.

303 There was an awful lot of "stuff" "liberated" by US troops during WWII. As my stepfather described it, it was mainly booze and food, until they got into Germany proper. Then it got a lot darker. It wasn't just guys grabbing a cake and a bottle of wine, and dragging the family couch out into the yard to sit on in mud covered gear. In Germany it became wanton destruction, grabbing all the food and breaking the furniture. Any negative interaction with Germans could turn real ugly in an instant. There were some guys who went over the line, gray as it was.

I don't think I want to live to be 95yrs old unless that's the plan, or my husband manages to live this long as well. His family don't live as old as mine.

Both grandmothers were in their 90's but didn't smoke or drink. Or have the college experiences I had to probably push things along.

Looked that up. It was the Schiaparelli EDM lander, which was to land in Oct. 2016. It made entry and was executing the descent and landing sequence but the signal was lost about 1 minute before touchdown. They didn't know what happened, but the MRO orbiter imaged the landing area and saw a black spot.

What happened was the IMU got saturated (overloaded with data) somehow and thought it was lower and closer to the surface that it actually was and jettisoned the parachute way too early. It hit the ground at about 200 mph.

NASA has plans for to orbit and probe Uranus, with the UOP mission. It's still in the concept phase. Travel time will be long, and it would use those low energy lollygagging trajectories with multiple gravity assists. If launched in 2031, it would be 2044 before it got there.

It would have an orbiter to circle around -- close to the rim as it were, then plunge a probe straight in.

No more asking the operator for "long distance", then getting the LD operator, then telling her what city, then getting the local.operator there and finally giving her the number you wanted.
You just miraculously picked up.the phone, dialed "1" and an area code and the number.
Of course, in the beginning that only worked into the bigger cities. If you wanted to call BF, Iowa, you dialed "0", and asked for " long distance", like always.

370 Four cosmonauts have been killed in actual spaceflight. More were killed in ground testing, but I'll have to look that up.

One cosmonaut was killed on the Soyuz 1, when the parachute failed to deploy for landing. Three more were killed on Soyuz 11, when a cabin valve, due to damage, opened up and depressurized the capsule during reentry.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at June 11, 2026 01:08 AM (w6EFb)

I think the Soyuz 11 dudes are actually the only ones counted as "space fatalities" because they were above some boundary, maybe 100 miles up or some shit, so they actually died in space. The soyuz 1 dude died on earth by going meteor. I don't think any of ours are counted as "died in space". I thought that was pretty interesting.

"Dial one... plus the area code, if it's different from your own... plus the number!"

There was also an interim setup where you'd (as I recall...details are hazy) dial 0-area-code-number. It would go to an operator to complete the call, but she (for the young 'uns, they were about 99.9% female -- "The girl with a smile!") didn't have to punch in everything manually.

Re Soyuz 11, reading about it, the explosive bolts that separated the orbital and descent modules fired all at once, rather than in sequence, and that heavy jolt damaged that valve. It turned out that one of the cosmonauts had unbuckled and was attempting to manually close the valve. He didn't have enough time.

Alexei Leonov had advised they close all those valves manually before reentry just in case, because he didn't trust the automatic valves. After that, he tested it -- it was a handwheel that took over 20 turns to close, and took a minimum of 1 minute under flight conditions to close. It took only 40 seconds for the cabin to go to full vacuum.

Every IP phone I've come across used locally generated power, of whatever voltage. When the local grid goes down, your ip.phone goes with it (unless you have battery or generator backup at your house). The old landline -48v came from the CO, which had a stack of wet cells and a big diesel generator if the outage lasted more than about a half hour.
Incidentally, the reason for the minus voltage was for electrolysis. A positive to ground source would plate from the copper wire to the old lead sheathed cables and open the circuit. The negative voltage plated from the lead sheath to the wires. Didn't bother the wire and the.lead was a lot thicker.

Indeed, I have some sympathy for the people who think the first moon landing was hoaxed, because it is plausible that they would have done anything to beat the Soviets, including lying to the world.

The mirrors you can bounce lasers off of show we have actually been there, so I don't have patience for those that doubt all of them. But the question of the first one comes down to whether the spooks thought the Russkies might beat us there, and you can't trust anything they say, so we may never know.

It's a wonder the high pressure pure O2 cabin atmosphere didn't burn them in the butt before Apollo 1. Mercury and Gemini both used it. Now, sitting on the ground before launch, you had to pressurize above 1 atm to seal everything and keep outside air from getting in. The bends were a big concern if N2 got in there.

Now, for Gemini, rather than an escape tower, they had ejection seats, which fired with rockets. Had they ever had to use those, they would've probably set the astronauts off like torches with all that O2 soaking in their space suits. And it could've well killed them anyway, as peak acceleration was over 20g.

The Russians were capable of monitoring all our Moon missions. They wouldn't have let us get away with faking it. Others also were capable, and did track and monitor Apollo 11 all the way to the Moon.

Faking a Moon landing would've been far more difficult than actually doing it, especially with '60s tech. The dreaded "CGI" as all the hoax proponents like to say, didn't even exist then, and wouldn't for a long time.

I vaguely remembered something about independent confirmation of Apollo 11 signals from the surface of the Moon. Bochum Observatory in West Germany, using their 20m dish, recorded audio and even TV transmissions from Apollo 11 on the surface. UK, and Italian observatories did as well.

And most amazing of all, Larry Basinger, a radio technician for a radio station in Kentucky and big Ham radio enthusiast built his own homemade antenna, *out of chicken wire* with wood framing (it was YUGE), and recorded voice transmissions from Apollo 11.

His recordings were identical to the other independents. Same transmission. And it did not include the ground to Moon transmissions. They were just getting the Moon to ground transmissions.

The answer is because the makers of those memes and all that hoax stuff out there are a bunch of idiots (or Dunning-Kruger poster children) who don't know what they're talking about. Then throw in the real lunatics, like the flat-earthers, and you Katy bar the door.

Another reason is it's been so long. Your typical less than 29 year old of today knows very little about Apollo. When I was a little kid, I was fascinated by it all, and had the details (such as young kid could process) burned in my brain. And it's still there. I knew the Saturn V rocket, all the stages and parts of the Apollo spacecraft by heart.

Some of these idiots have no idea how all that was put together and worked.

The genesis of the Moon Hoax stuff was from a 1974 self-published book by a character named Bill Kaysing, titled "We never went to the Moon". He gained some purchase because he was a former employee of Rocketdyne. He wasn't an engineer, or rocket scientist, or anything related, but a technical writer with an English degree.

And then a character named Bart Sibrel (who got punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin) took up the torch. And, with the internet driven flat earth kookery, they went wild with all that.

17 Semi-willowed (I knew the other thread was on its last legs):

When I wrote Long Live Death, I had US politics very much in mind, but the same dynamic at work in 1936 Spain is now in place all over Europe. You have political leaders who by their own actions are undermining government institutions and legitimacy. The normal parliamentary/electoral processes have been circumvented, and instead of debate, there is censorship and oppression. The promise of democracy has been taken away.

Now Spain is an obscure topic in the US, either a cool leftist Lost Cause or a chapter in the road to WW II. But it is very much present in Europe, and I want to ask people a question I have not posed before: What if the collapse of Western Europe's militaries isn't about dependency but about political danger? Europe very much as a military caste, people who have a family lineage of military service. They are fiercely patriotic and it transcends class boundaries. The aristocrats and point to holding commissions for centuries, while the enlisted regard it as a way of life.

22 (con't) How do prevent another Franco? Well, you can make the military both retarded and gay. Promote only safe, woke officers to higher command. It is no accident that Canada's highest officer is a chick.

You also start selective prosecutions of war heroes, which is going on in the UK and Australia. Break the military caste, take them off the table. Canada is trying to recruit third-worlders to fill the ranks but they hate each other too much to make it work.

This leads us to Belfast. Both Protestant and Catholic are united. The local police are helpless. The paramilitaries will see to that. So what to do? Well, the Army is pathetic, and might switch teams. Maybe drafts of riot police from Blighty? They'd be eaten alive.

This may well be Europe's July Rising.

In 2020, Tom Cotton got his opponent to drop out the day after the nomination was final by dropping his oppo in one chunk. He ran against a Libertarian that year and spent no money.

I suspect Collins will try something similar. July 14th, or so. Bastille Day would be a nice moment to drop all the shit Collins has dug up on him over the last 6 months.

He won't drop out because he's a narcissistic nepo-baby Nazi who's got nothing else in life but this moment where he's finally important, but it should be bad enough that the Democrat party nationally just stops funding him.

I also suspect that Blackwater didn't renew his contract, or something, after he was found out to have murdered civilians. He seems the type.

97 Spain had a couple of major problems following the loss of the SpanAm war, the first one was the collapse of the belief that the problems and corruption of the Spanish colonial state was worth keeping Spain in its spot as an international force politically and socially. This left a huge problem in a state that really did hold itself together by a shared history, but was incredibly fractured politically and socially. The Generation of 98 was one attempt to find a new path, and of course you had the political conservatives who wanted things to continue on the way they had been. Include with that the communists and Anarchists, and the completely antiquated industrial base that had relied on the government to keep it from failure.
Spain was not involved in WWI because of the political instability, and they made far more money selling arms

Problem is that Maine is one of our oldest states and Collins usually wins with GOP holding their nose plus independents. Not enough Democrats to make a majority and by election time, Platner will be stinking worse than a week old dead fish.

Kennedy got in via his brothers and stayed in because he had his staff do all the work for him. He survived Chappaquiddick politically because a) he was an incumbent, b) he was viewed as that poor guy who lost both his brothers. Platner has none of that going for him.

After Rep. Garcia (D-CA) claimed that the hearing on ActBlue is nothing more than a charade, Rep. Jim Jordan made him eat his own words.

"Let's be clear. We're here because ACTBlue's legal counsel said Ms. Wallace-Jones lied to Congress, willfully and knowingly misled the Congress of the United States. That's why we're here."

Jordan then asked her these six questions. Her answer to every single one was the same:

"On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution."

- "How much fraud is too much fraud?"
- "How many foreign contributions did ACTBlue accept?"
- "How much money did ACTBlue accept from Russia?"
- "Why did your entire legal team quit, your in-house legal team?"
- "Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards?"
- "Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats?"

145 Honestly, though, no one thought to prevent Franco, since they were focused on exiling or destroying Sanjurjo and Mola who were the "natural" centers of power for the right. Franco popped up because he was trusted by everyone. If Sanjurjo had survived his plane flight, it would have been just another in a long stream of rebellions since he was the perfect officer to lead the coup, which would have acted the same as always until the counter-coup or lost election

Europe is now attempting to create economic stasis in the EU by creating a rules-based corporate state, with controlled banking and regulation bounds instead of direct ownership. I think the Migrants are brought in to destroy any power of labor as a class, and destroy its political center.

Labor is a required class in a fascist (corporate state) economics system, and the hardest to control. By breaking its power, the power is in the money and manufacturing interests, which can be controlled by laws and regulations developed for their own benefits.

156 So I did a little digging and Collins has incredible constituent service. She takes care of people. She also knows every local politician and is eager to help out. Ideology is not always what counts. Personal relationships make a huge difference.

Debbie Stabenow survived in Michigan for the same reason. She was a big leftist, but she also had first-rate staff that answered every complaint and even rural voters got a hearing from her people. She retired because she knew the gulf was just too big.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd

Rule of thumb is constituent service is worth about 5 percentage points to an incumbent if they are good at it. If they suck, subtract from the baseline vote.

5 percent is often enough to win even when a politician's politics or personality are not liked (see Lindsay Graham as an example). He survived his biggest primary challenge just now because he inherited Strom's organization which is now his own.

By Cool World, when he wasn't doing rotoscoping again, he couldn't keep models consistent again.

230 I have always had a soft spot for Wizards, the 1977 film where Bakshi developed his rotoscope skills for his later LoTR movie. Good wizard versus bad, with a bit of a surprise ending. You don’t expect it to be LoTR quality, so you can find it’s good qualities more easily.

I've seen it.

He's a self-serving hack covering up for the fact that his hand-drawn stuff looks like shit.

The main characters, from beginning to end, are rotoscoped. You can tell by looking at them, not to mention the documentary evidence that he actually did film the whole thing before animating it. (He also did it on American Pop.) It's not just the xerox stuff towards the end in the battle which was a cost-cutting measure that he learned on Wizards (which is absolute trash).

Yes, he ran out of money, because he's a terrible person and manager who can't deal with people in real life, so he couldn't manage his team of animators.

Genuinely, he is a bad person and not very good at making movies, but he stuck sort of close to Tolkien to overcome his narrative defects while using rotoscoping as a crutch to make his film look halfway decent.

Lord of the Rings is one of his best, yes. But it's still not...good. And it's one of his best.

Smoke was seen rising from southern Tehran after reports of a strike on what Islamic Republic state media described as a "carpet warehouse."

Veteran Iran-watchers have learned to be skeptical of these labels. Facilities officially described as warehouses, factories, or industrial sites have repeatedly been linked to IRGC personnel, weapons storage, or military activity.

Meanwhile, President Trump says the Islamic Republic’s military has been "completely defeated" and warns the regime will "pay the price" for refusing a deal.

324 I went for a walk and realized that the world has, once again, changed for the worse. Remember that stand-up routine, I forget which comic did it, about how some people seem to think they deserve credit for just being decent and responsible? It's really a general problem, but his joke was specifically directed at black men saying, "I take care of *my* kids." Great. You're supposed to.

Well. I've never even pulled a weapon on anyone, let alone used one --- not even in defense, let alone to attack -- but I never thought of any of that as an *accomplishment* until now. That's where we're at now. "I haven't knifed anyone today" is the new "I take care of my kids," and I don't like where the line created by those two points is heading.

THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT.
Here’s what Bondi’s team discovered on the server in Tehran under Obama’s codename RENEGADE:

— 14 money transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014 - 2016 , totaling 1.7 billion dollars , the exact amount he told Congress was “seized Iranian assets.”

— His signed order, allowing the CIA to halt operations during the Bengazi attack, not printed but handwritten.

— Communications with Epstein‘s handlers’s, dated March 2015 , discussing the “island deal” and the “Chicago package.”

— Secret channels of contact with Tehran via Valerie Jarrett , used from 2012 to 2024. Yes , 2024 — two years after he left office.
He didn’t just betray America. he’s running a shadow government from a basement in Washington DC ,while pretending to be retired. his lawyers are offering for cooperation in exchange for protection.

-Trump refused.
-No deal ,no mercy ,no way out.
-The man who divided America for eight years is about to face the America He tried to destroy.

One of the problems with telling what's AI and what's not is that although LLMs can't math, that is also true of many humans. You don't hear about dysnumeria as much as dyslexia, but it's a real thing, and as devastating in its way since we mostly use numbers to teach analytical thinking, except for a high school geometry class that they might never reach.

378 Finally catching up with the prior thread, and guys, when you find a rhetorical kill-shot, you stop looking. Two-Tier Keir is so devastating, the fact he's still Prime Minister proves that the English are a conquered and ruled people with a farce of a pretend democracy that's just there to give legitimacy to tyranny. He would not even be able to show his face in public otherwise.

Queer Starmer is just as ineffectual as rhetoric as he is as a person, since any rhetoric you have to explain is bad rhetoric, and you would have to explain both why he keeps getting Ukrainian male models mad at him and also that you mean 'queer' as a slur.

And that is the best of the also-rans. You have a nuclear strike in your pocket, just keep using it.

I wrote a longer piece long ago about how Arab armies always fail against Western Armies because they're a submission culture, not an honor culture. It's all because of Islam - all must submit to the Will of Allah as the ultimate arbiter of Justice, and what the individual does makes no difference.

Translated into fighting reality, Arab Armies are passionate and will gladly sacrifice themselves as long as they think they are winning, and Allah is On Their Side. But as soon as they start losing, it is obvious that Allah has decided against them, and there is no hope. At that point they all throw their weapons down, change into civilian clothing, and run away from the fight. They have no concept of fighting for their own honor, even if the battle is lost. Not only Western culture has that, it made the Bushido Culture the most feared fighters in the world.

But the Muslim mind cannot even grasp it.

After Single Night of Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests, Two-Tier Keir Starmer, Who Did Not Mention Henry Nowak Until the Video of His Police-Assisted Murder Was Released, Is Johnny-on-the-Spot in Condemning Riots

Belfast experienced some rioting last night.

The riots were, as the US media described the BLM riots, "fiery but mostly peaceful." There was disorder, Some People Set Fire to Some Vehicles, a house was burned, but they were "mostly peaceful," meaning no one was killed.

Fiery but mostly peaceful: The left has told us before that this is a perfectly acceptable and justifiable level of public disorder, at least when they want to press their political claims in the street.

"Riots are the voice of the unheard," they lectured us in the media.

The left in the UK is freaking out about the same level of rioting that they cheered on in the US.

Keir Starmer didn't condemn the BLM riots, of course. He called them "peaceful protests" by people "rightly demanding justice" and attacked Trump for opposing those riots.

But these riots -- these are not Good Riots.

Keir Starmer
@Keir_Starmer


The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere.

It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it. Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.

I've spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe. I've also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation.

Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.

You know what I say? I am shocked and angered at the attempted beheading, and the reaction of the UK authorities to peaceful protests by people rightly demanding justice has been an affront to humanity.

That's exactly what you said, Keir. So fuck you.

Does Keir Starmer and Labour plan on cracking down on illegal immigration and the psychopathic violence it has unleashed?

No -- but they are promising to crack down anyone complaining about it.


We put up with ten times more than this for an entire summer -- while the non-rioters were under strict, government-enforced lockdown:

Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain, the hardcore version of Reform: We need to do three things. End all asylum claims, deport all illegal immigrants, restore the death penalty.

He's got my vote. I'll vote from a homeless shelter in LA. No one questions those ballots.

The people need to start with the local police that helped the rape gangs. Establish strong centers of localized control, declare independence from the centralized, tyrannical British government, and start exerting old-school British law on the people who have invaded their homeland.

We can offer them rhetorical support. We have some documents they might find instructive.

Boris Johnson was the UK's version of George W. Bush - a dbag who claimed to be conservative but who utterly wrecked the country with mass immigration.

What was really interesting, though, is that even when the elections were coming up, and their defeat was all but guaranteed, the Tory government under Rishi Sunak didn't even attempt to do the one thing that might have saved it: get immigration under control.

"Burning people out" is an ancient practice in Ireland. What we are seeing is that the "paras" never really disbanded and this is a problem for the Establishment.

The reason the British Army had to intervene in Ulster was that the local police (Royal Ulster Constabulary) was both undisciplined and also being hunted down by the IRA.

That is still the case. They know who the local cops are, and where they live. The cops also know this.

The idea of bringing in riot cops from England is being mooted, but they're all pussies, not used to guys willing to go to prison.

I think it is more akin to primordial fear that their values are in fact evil and destructive rather than good. Same as why Muslims cry out haram everywhere. It is an expression of weakness, not strength and carried forth with desperation and ill intent to make the opposition shut up about the truth compared to lies that the left tells themselves as well as everyone else.

217 Government is elected to serve the people. It serves to provide basic functions, the most important of which is security.

This is the way it’s been since the beginning of organized societies.

When you stop protecting the people, and in fact to work against them to ensure they are injured, this is what happens.

The left should expect more of this. They are only upset because they never think the other side will push back.

Enjoy the insecurity. There are two teams who can play this game. Your weaponized institutions can’t protect you. They are all trying to care for their own families.

How’s that feel? Pretty lonely and scary isn’t it?

I think the left is now bereft of any ideas other than destruction and they are despairing because they can see no way forward to their utopia unless they destroy their enemies. So they are burning the remnants of any moral qualms and steeling themselves to become the very monsters that they tell themselves that the Right and normies are.

Rough air is ahead and the damage remains to be counted but we are, as Churchill said, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

The left are failing to hide themselves anymore and their anger, wickedness, and hideous nature of what they want has now become fully apparent.

They are now the people trying to stamp their boots on human faces forever.

231 The Irish threw their revolt into the teeth of the British lion in 1916 on Easter. There is so much bad blood and that comes from the egregious penal laws of over 300 years from the time of Cromwell up to just after the Napoleonic Wars and beyond. Many revolts, famines and the only reason laws started to be lifted was because England took Irish Catholic men for soldiers during the Napoleonic wars. The only job they could get. The Easter Rebellion was brutal and the British had to keep Ulster since it was mainly Protestant. Ireland is not whole and that doesn’t appear to be changing and their government is just as bad as the English.

237 Rupert Lowe is the only English party leader with the balls to actually Deport these cultural enrichers. In fact he was kicked out of the Reform Party because he took a vigorous line about this and Nigel Mirage arranged for a false accusation of assault to jettison him from Reform.

Looks like reform is the containment party and is now analogous to the r i n O's. And Nigel mirage, whom I used to like, has said bluntly that he is not willing to deport people because it just can't be done. When he got blowback he changed his Weathervane again.

Really a Pity because he's a talented public speaker and when he's firing in the right direction, he does fire for effect. But he's not the man and Elon Musk happens to be right about that. I don't give unthinking credit to what Elon says but he sure is right on this point.

Trump Signs Bill to Fund DHS and ICE Throughout the Rest of His Term

The 80-day long (IIRC) Democrat shutdown resulted in chaos and disruption but ultimately failed.


They're the party of chaos and disruption, riots and "teen takeovers," subway knife attacks and women having their throats slashed open by infinitely-indulged homeless maniacs.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed legislation to fund key immigration enforcement agencies through the end of his term after Congress approved the package via the reconciliation process.

"This morning, I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term," he said at the signing ceremony in the Oval Office.

The legislation followed a record-breaking shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which Democrats orchestrated in a bid to secure immigration enforcement policy concessions. Ultimately, the shutdown ended with Congress passing a bill to fund DHS that excluded funds for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).


Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump SIGNS $70 billion in ICE and Border Patrol funding through the end of his term through 2029, meaning Democrats have LOST the ability to hold our border hostage in government shutdowns

BIG WIN! 🇺🇸

"The Secure America Act provides $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol to ensure these critical law enforcement agencies of the necessary resources to do their jobs, protecting our borders and getting criminal aliens out of the country."


Supposedly, Republicans added a provision allowing ICE to immediately arrest illegal aliens released from sanctuary jails.

The sleeper win is Senator Eric Schmitt's provision. For the first time, 𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 from prison -- something that was 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞.

"𝘙∗𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮∗𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴", Schmitt said. "𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦".

Was that really not permitted before?

In addition, the law now provides for the salaries of 200 investigators who will track down illegal alien child traffickers, and hopefully find all the children that Joe Biden permitted to be trafficked.

Rotten-hearted grim-faced hag Lisa Murkowski was the only "Republican" to vote against it:

The Senate passed $𝟕𝟎 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 for the rest of President Trump's term, 52 to 47. Every Democrat voted no -- and so did one Republican (Senate floor).

Senator Lisa Murkowski was the 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐞 and side with the entire Democrat caucus against the funding.

She has seniority and would lose chair positions on committees if she switched now. That would eliminate one of the few remaining reasons for her reelection. If ranked choice voting goes in Alaska this year via referendum, she might not even run for reelection in 2028. I think this is her swan song as a Senator.

My guess is both Iraq and Iran have figured out how to slant drill to access Iranian oil, the borders between those two states and Iran is a matter of a few miles. That, in part, is what started the trouble between Iraq and Kuwait. Saddam got pissed that the Kuwaitis were taking his oil but couldn't do anything about it until his war with Iran was finished.

Posted by: whig at June 10, 2026 05:49 PM (E4rtv)

53 Yeah, I think we should be pirating Iran's oil.

If we are going to suffer financially, given the case that Trump is practically keeping Iran from the bomb, I'm okay with simply boosting the oil.

Seems like actions have been pretty war-ry.

54 Supposedly, Republicans added a provision allowing ICE to immediately arrest illegal aliens released from sanctuary jails.

Was that really not permitted before?

Doesn't seem you could, but what are the odds any releases will now come at unannounced times to thwart arrests?

She has been voting pretty consistently with the Dems since Trump reentered the White House. I think her leverage is getting less and less by the day and a new Senate that is roughly the same size majority is likely to trim her even more. Her friends are leaving the Senate and the new ones are unlikely to want to be like her.

93 If you are a dem in a heavy R jurisdiction, you hide it and run as an R.

This is why the most R leaning states often have the worst RINOs.

They master the politics of getting elected, but their heart is with the other party, and often they grift and get elected because they are working for the other side.

(If you are a commie in a D jurisdiction, you run as a D.)

The solution to all this only lies with the party. It is up to the party to cleans these scum off the rolls (in UK it is called "removing the whip" -- that is, removing them from the whip's list of votes used to pass legislation)

So all the blame for people like muckowki goes to the party.

You're right. There was never any impediment to ICE arresting illegal aliens whenever they're released from state or local custody.

Sometimes, in sanctuary cities, they refuse to tell ICE when a prisoner is due for release, I've read. So the problem for ICE is finding them after they're released.

I can't see how Sen. Schmitt's provision changes that at all.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone here will call it to my attention... as always.

It took multiple presidents and many years to finally deal with Iran. I am not in a hurry for Trump to end them if we can avoid massive US casualties and occupation.

Cutting off their nuclear abilities is enough along with the massive damage to Iran and its mullahs as payback for 48 years of treachery and murdering innocents.

Posted by: Oldcat

It means that any local judge, police, jailer that tries to interfere with the arrests can then be federally charged with obstruction. It makes clear that the state and locality of sanctuary laws does not apply in anyway to federal law enforcement actions. And fwiw, any politician issuing orders for his underlings to do such things is now facing charges as well.

Blue judges cannot save them now trying to rely on ambiguity of congressional intent for federales to send these criminals away via ICE and Border Patrol.

That is not necessarily true. PRC may have (likely did) use the migration chaos to mask their own effort to get past the Panama barrier.

IN CUSTODY: Said Abdullahi Ereg – the FIRST EVER arrest of a “Most Wanted Fraudsters” since the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud released our Most Wanted Fraudsters list last week. Ereg just landed in Minneapolis and was taken into custody after turning himself in. He has been wanted on federal charges since 2024.

Ereg allegedly stole over $4 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program in Minneapolis during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020-2021. He allegedly falsely claimed to have served meals to children in need, claiming fake reimbursements from the government, and then laundered the money through foreign accounts to fund a lavish lifestyle. He is charged with Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering.

He pointed out that the problem came about because all UK subjects were equal under the law, and that no longer worked after the war with air transport. It took until 1962 to create new laws that stopped treating them all as having equal rights to fly to England and take root. He was not addressing race, but who belonged to what land.

Jasmine Ratchett: "Black Women Live in Agony" Daily that Murdered Athlate Austin Metcalf "Never Lived Through" (Except The Day He Was Murdered by a Jasmine Ratchet Supporter)

Was she ever murdered?

No?

So Austen Metcalf did actually experience agony of a kind that this fat donut disposal unit and sloppy whore can only imagine.

She also blacksplains that the knife used to lethally stab him through the heart is not really a deadly weapon at all. She says that in her opinion as a Real DEI Lawyer, she would have argued that the knife was not a deadly weapon, thus sparing Karmelo Anthony the death penalty, even though the knife is a weapon which was used to inflict an almost-instantly deadly wound.

She's a good lawyer, she really earned that J.D.

She further says that Karmelo Anthony was justified because he didn't want to be "put out in the rain by some random kid that he didn't know, who was larger than him," and claims he was afraid.

Blacks and whites disagree on what blacks are "owed" (and which hasn't already been repaid 50 times over).

But what is new, and what is unaccepable and will absolutely not be accepted, is black people insisting they have the right to literally murder us without punishment in some kind of free-floating when-we-feel-like it Blood Reparations.

If black people continue insisting on this -- and note that no one on earth could or would ever concede that another race has the right to murder them and their children -- they're going to provoke a backlash like the US has not seen before.


She demands mercy. You know, I'll just say it: White people are looking at the huge amounts of "mercy" black people demand when they are caught breaking the law, even killing people, and comparing it to the zero mercy granted to white people.

The sympathy that people have been taught to feel for for blacks is draining away rapidly, as we see that sympathy is being used to justify further murders and outrages against us.

Pretending Not to Notice is not working, and I personally am all done Pretending Not to Notice. All that we have gotten in exchange for it is violence, intimidation, disorder, and murders.

Just last year I would have avoided posting videos like the one below, because I wouldn't want to Inflame Passions.

Well, maybe passions need to be inflamed. I don't see anyone on the left chiding Jasmine Ratchet not to inflame passions or spark riots. That seems like her goal, and the left is all-in on assisting her in that goal.

Here, a degenerate subnormal IQ thug declares that Austin Metcalf's brother should have been murdered as well, just because.

Does that inflame passions? Oh well.


Personally -- I'm done.

The race-murderer thrill-killer Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to a mere 35 years in prison for a looking for a victim to stab and then murdering him. My only consolation is that I imagine 35 years in Texas means something close to 35 years.

Austen Metcalf's mom agrees that 35 years is about 35 years too little:

After Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, the victim's parents delivered emotional impact statements in court.

WFAA-TV reports Austin's mother, Meghan Metcalf, addressed Anthony directly, saying he should consider himself "lucky you got 35 years, because I've been given a life sentence without my son."

She said her family would "never know what our future could have been" and said the loss of her son left their home "quiet."

"For journalists, activists, this is a story. For our family, this is our reality," she said, adding she still hopes to wake up and discover the tragedy was only a "nightmare."

Meghan Metcalf said she now speaks to her son only at his gravesite and stressed "he didn't just die -- he was taken from us."

I can't wait until this piece of shit is raped and killed in prison.


The race-murderer and his degenerate animal supporters claim they're the Real Victims Here.

Karmelo Anthony sobbed Tuesday as he was swiftly convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow high school jock Austin Metcalf at a track meet -- and his furious supporters raged, "This whole thing's been racist!"

The jury in Collin County deliberated about three hours before finding Anthony, 19, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old and must now decide whether to put him away for life -- prompting the killer's weeping mom to later take the witness stand and beg for mercy for her son, according to a report by NBC DFW.

"He's my oldest. He'll always be my baby. I love him very much," Anthony's mom, Kala Hayes, sobbed to jurors before they headed into further deliberations to decide his sentence.


As she spoke, Anthony also cried.

"I know my son, and he's very sorry for what he did," Hayes told the jury.


"Please have mercy on my son."

Anthony killed Metcalf during a April 2, 2025, run-in prompted by a dispute over seating at the track and field event in Frisco.

Anthony previously appeared glum, looking down and not immediately speaking with his lawyers, as he entered the courtroom to hear the verdict -- then broke into sobs as it was announced, several outlets in court reported.


Metcalf's twin, Hunter, sat next to his parents in court for the verdict.

Metcalf's stricken mom wept as emotional photos were later shown to jurors deliberating sentencing for her son's killer.

The snapshots captured coaches performing CPR on her mortally wounded son at the track meet after Anthony stabbed him.

Outside the courthouse, about 200 protesters for and against Anthony clashed.

"This whole thing's been racist. We didn't make it racist!" a protester screamed.

Austin Metcalf's father called for race to be put out of mind throughout this disgusting affair.

Anthony, his family, and the degenerates supporting him have made it about nothing but race:


Gibby Turismo
@GibbyTurismo207

Victim Impact Statement, from Jeff Metcalf (father of Austin Metcalf):

"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."

"I said from day one...this was never about race, please don't politicize it."

"But what did you choose to do?"

"Both."

"It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color."

"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today."

"People think that grief is sadness, but it's not...IT"S RAGE!!! [slams his hands on the table.] It's pure unfiltered rage!"

"You failed your parents. You failed yourself and you failed society. You don't belong in this community," he said to Karmelo.

"You're going to prison...you can't even look me in the eyes right now, but you can stab my fu#%ing son in the heart!"

What happens when white people decide that they should make it All About Race, too?

Of course these violent sub-morons have never asked themselves that question.

Who can say. I don't believe that he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon either. Just, you know, murder. Like, if you strangled someone with your totally non-lethal hands... or, at least, non-lethal when they're not being used to kill.

She spouted words for people who're emotionally charged up to grab onto without comprehension to use to become even more emotionally charged and, probably, kill someone else. But maybe she'll get a payday out of it. She's a jackal. Like all of them.

I confess to not knowing the legalities. I believe two separate things:

1. The way to cut the Gordian Knot of the current impasse with Iran, and eliminate the nuclear Sword of Damocles they have hung over head, is by removing the nuclear material. Since they will presumably try to stop us if we just send some guys with excavators, that means going in full force. And then, if they try to stop us anyway, at least they won't be in a city full of civilians. One way or another, the problem will be solved.

2. Getting it debated in Congress is, I believe, a kind of stealth Win Button. I believe that SJWs are gnostics who are incapable of understanding the average, normal person's concern with physical danger, since they are magical thinkers. I could be wrong.

52 26 Has anyone axed the question of why Karmelo Anthony was in the tent in the first place? He wasn't on any track team and I do not think he even attended the schools that were there.

He was there to steal and got caught out.

***********************
He got kicked off the track team of his school (Metcalf's).

For reasons unknown went to the opposing team's tent and was kicked out.

Then to Metcalf's tent's team and was asked approx 15 times to leave.

I am unsure why coaches or security did not kick him out of the track meet with his tiny knife in his backpack.

I hurt for his family, especially his twin brother who said (NYT): “You took a son, a brother, a friend, and my best friend, from this world. You took someone from me who was supposed to be an uncle, godfather to my kids. Now I want everything taken from you,” Hunter choked through tears in a Texas courtroom.

I lost one brother I was very close to, not by murder right in front of me. The pain was bad. I can't imagine what they've gone through as the go fund me family racked in $640k, lived in a mansion and bought cars.

Well, every president since the 70s has called the War Powers Act unconstitutional, to begin with.

Secondly, there is specific language in the bill about continuous conflict, and we have a ceasefire. So, even by the text of the bill, the clock would restart (Trump's admin said this explicitly, by the way, a few weeks ago).

Thirdly, Republicans in Congress sued Obama for the Libya campaigning going well over the 60-90 day limit (it went on for 8 months). The case was thrown out because Congress has a solution: the power of the purse.

Forty acres and a mule, baby.

That was actually a big deal back then, worth a lotof money. The whole point was that an ex-slave could easily support himself and his family FOR LIFE with a free handout of forty acres f farmland and a mule to help plow it. This very first "reparations" was already a life-long welfare support, pad to the people who actually had experienced un-recompensed labor.

67 She's a disgrace. The nerve. That poor family.

But she's playing with definitions in Texas law.

There is no maximum legal blade length for adults to own or carry. You can openly or concealed carry a knife of any size anywhere in the state, with the exception of specific "location-restricted" zones.

While you can carry almost any knife size, Texas law sets a specific threshold at 5-½ inches:

5.5 inches or less: Unrestricted. You can carry these knives anywhere in public.

Over 5.5 inches: These are classified as "location-restricted" knives. It is a felony to carry a blade of this size into specific prohibited zones.

Regardless of whether your knife is open or concealed, you cannot carry a location-restricted knife (blade over 5-½ inches) into the following places:
Schools, on school buses, or at educational events. Polling places during voting. Courthouses or government offices Correctional facilities. Racetracks or sporting events. Bars or businesses that get 51% or more of their income from alcohol sales. Airports (federally prohibited in carry-on luggage).

Texas law does not differentiate by opening mechanism.
Texas cities cannot have more restrictive laws.

Black fatigue is real.

I’ve been feeling it since black fashion became a thing for white people and rock music became an endangered species due to the rap/hip hop infestation.

BLM and The Saint Floyd Memorial Riot Summer made it crystal clear.

The coming of Woke only sealed the deal.

Obama & Crew turned the Democrat party into the Black Panther Democratic Socialist-Maoist Party, so this is all going according to plan.

If anyone keeps saying it was a *"tiny knife" like he had a plastic spork, remind them that the knife went 2" into Metcalf's heart. Through pectoral muscle of an athelete.

"Collin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Elizabeth Ventura testified the "gaping" wound penetrated two inches deep into Metcalf's chest, piercing the right ventricle of his heart."

Which was not easy to do. Considering he has the brain of Gere's Gerbil, he accidently got the wound just right between his ribs.

Karmelo Anthony has launched an appeal against his 35 year prison sentence for murdering Austin Metcalf, according to newly filed court records.

Anthony, 19, filed a notice of appeal on Wednesday - less than 24 hours after he learned his fate for fatally stabbing Metcalf in the heart during a track meet in April 2025, legal documents obtained by TMZ detailed.

The convicted murderer's lawyer, Mike Howard, told the outlet that his legal team told the court that they would be appealing right after the trial concluded.

'We believe there are several important issues for the appellate courts to consider. An appeal is the next part of the legal process and a right afforded every American,' Howard said.

I heard that he wasn't even allowed to be at the meet, since he had brought a knife to a previous meet and was suspended for that. Don't know if that's been verified. But why was he in the tent? I assume he was stealing things left there by the athletes. Cell phones maybe? His hand was probably in his bag because that's where he was hiding the loot. His fear was that one of the other kids would look in his bag, I expect.

But I don't think any of that came out at trial, because he never took the stand to be questioned.

Unions were a mechanism chiefly meant to price black people out of skilled labor.

And there are letters that demonstrate that Minimum Wage laws were mainly about doing the same thing.

That's the problem when your parties switch, you know, people forget to inform the postal service of their new address and things get left behind.

132 While you can carry almost any knife size, Texas law sets a specific threshold at 5-½ inches:

5.5 inches or less: Unrestricted. You can carry these knives anywhere in public.

Over 5.5 inches: These are classified as "location-restricted" knives. It is a felony to carry a blade of this size into specific prohibited zones.

Regardless of whether your knife is open or concealed, you cannot carry a location-restricted knife (blade over 5-½ inches) into the following places:
Schools, on school buses, or at educational events. Polling places during voting. Courthouses or government offices Correctional facilities. Racetracks or sporting events. Bars or businesses that get 51% or more of their income from alcohol sales. Airports (federally prohibited in carry-on luggage).

Texas law does not differentiate by opening mechanism.
Texas cities cannot have more restrictive laws.

148 My PA county:
A 15-year-old Upper Darby High School student, Michael Garr Jr., was fatally stabbed in a random attack on the 200 block of Bridge Street in nearby Drexel Hill on April 21, 2023.Following an extensive investigation, 24-year-old Marson Weh was arrested and charged with first- and third-degree murder in connection with the tragic incident.

Marson Weh has not yet reached a final trial verdict for the murder of Michael Garr Jr., as the legal proceedings in Pennsylvania have faced multiple delays.The breakdown of his current legal status and outcomes includes:

Ohio Sentence: Weh is currently serving a 9½-year prison sentence in Ohio after pleading guilty to unrelated vehicle theft and assault charges committed there.
Competency Delays: After being extradited back to Pennsylvania to face homicide charges, he was initially declared mentally incompetent to stand trial in May 2024. This ruling was reversed in late 2024 after mental health evaluations deemed him competent.
In October 2025, his trial was delayed again when Common Pleas Court Judge G. Michael Green approved the discharge of his defense attorney.

2023, he had also carjacked & stabbed a pregnant woman.

I have to say that all of my time then & now black people there are kind, normal, thoughtful. Granted, I was not in the ghetto.

A year ago, after flying into NOLA on Valentine's Day and stopping south of the farm at Walmart, we were the only white people in the huge store. Crowded. The ONLY weird interaction was by a white man, in his 50's (no doubt drunk) who tried to pick me up for a date. Until my husband approached he was flirting wildly with me and guessing wrong the flowers I had for my mother. My son laughs that I get hit on more than his wife (this is, per my husband, because I attract crazy people).

My mother has a black friend who, with a full time job, helps her in the yard. He schedules 1hr to gossip with her and considers himself our adopted brother. The kindest man you could ever meet. These are the black people I have known all my life.

Not only are 70+% of "white descended from immigrants who arrived in the US after 1865, but of that remaining 30%, over half of them are descended from people who lived in northern NON-SLAVE STATES, and thus also had nothing to do with slavery.

And of those few who are descended from distant ancestors who at some point lived in a slave state, the vats majority were "poor white trash" who never owned a slave (and whp were also treated like dirt by the wealthy).

The slave-owning southern aristocracy was a small percentage of the overall population in the U.S. back then, and their descendant are by now an even smaller percentage.

And the ultimate irony? MOST OF THE MODERN-DAY DESCENDANTS OF PRE-1865 SPAVE OWNERS NOW IDENTIFY AS "BLACK." (Illegitimate offspring of a white slave-owner and a black female slave generally outnumbered their legitimate offspirng. An unsavory fact, but true.) Those illegitimate half-white-half-black offsprng were deemed by the "one drop ruke: to be black, and their descendants still identify as such.

They couldn't charge him with capitol murder, since he was a juvenile at the time he committed the murder. SCOTUS has ruled that juvies are exempt. That includes not only the death penalty, but also life without parole.

The jury could have given him a lot more time than they did, but in Texas, they are eligible for parole after they have served half of the sentence, or 30 years, whichever is less.

So he was always going to having a shot at parole within 30 years ,max. Since he only got sentenced to 35, he will be up in 17.5 years.

160 I was born and raised to not have a prejudiced bone in my body. My parents taught me MLK's lesson about character before he ever said it. The Army (during the Cold War in my experience) reinforced this.


I started changing - actually was taught to change - and my first formative lesson was during the reading of the O.J. verdict. The media had reporters in both white and black venues. When the verdict was read all the white venues just hung their heads in sad disbelief. I know I did. The black venues erupted as if they'd just won the Super Bowl. That's when I became aware that something was seriously going wrong in my country. And that was long before the Obamination.


I used to consider myself a friend to blacks. Today I'm not, rather, I'm cautious. Very cautious. And yes I know there are many good ones but some of the good ones need to stand up and fix this rabid violence among their own. Because whites cannot fix this, no matter how sincere and well-meaning the attempt. Because we're "Racists!".

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

Growing up in AK, racism was an odd notion. Everybody lives here, and nobody much cares what color you are. I think we are about 2% black, but at least 15% Native, plus Asians of various types, lots of Hispanics, plenty of Samoans, etc. I don't recall there ever being a race issue, except maybe one fight after a football game with West High, where the rich white folk lived. I went to East. It isn't like that anymore, for certain. Sometimes we get a Native race hustler, but not more than that.

I went to college in St. Louis, and that was eye-opening. I had no idea I was suppose to keep separate from the "black tables" in the cafeteria, etc. I guess I offended some black folks the first week or so before someone clued me in. WTF?

The Mountain View neighborhood in Anchorage is the "most diverse" neighborhood in the Nation, according to the Census. It's also full of drugs and Samoan gangs, but I lived there just fine for a couple of years. Nobody cared that I am white.

Race hustlers like Jessie Jackson fan the fire. Actor Morgan Freeman, from the MS Delta, was once asked by a network nitwit, Mike Wallace, how to stop racism.

His answer: "Quit talking about it."

Those of us who lived with black people all of our lives have simply watched the explosion of the race baiters. It works on the ignorant.

My own MIL, as her Reagan Republican husband rolled in his grave, voted for Obama "to be part of history." I then launched calmly into telling her of how he voted to leave babies who survive abortion in utility closets in IL. And how I could never vote for anyone pro-abortion.

The second time he ran she voted Green Party. I say this as her being from Long Island I doubt she knew a black person in her entire life. I was half raised by them.

Our Suburban OH district incorporated a lot of heavy black districts in the late 60 early 70 period for the rumored reason that taxes from the GE plants nearby were good for the revenue stream. So Junior High and High School had a good population of blacks, but there were no serious issues to speak of. I even went on a demo project and taught a dab of Latin and Roman history to 6th graders in the area. They were a lot of fun.

Keeping him off the stand was the right decision. But we also know why he felt violence was the appropriate response- his parents simply left him after the verdict. His grandmother stayed.

Not so sure about that. It was early 90s when they were talking about a nationwide militia back-lash in 1995.

But again, it was mainly in the form of: We have to kill you people so that we don't suffer through things we really don't want in our lives, (i.e., racism).

I have no idea what was going on stateside during that time as I spent 16 of my 22 active duty years stationed overseas. All I can speak of is my personal experience in the military. I saw real progress in race relations starting in the late 1970s through my retirement in 1999. I really thought we were over that crap by the time I retired.

280 This is true. I was on a jury about 10 years ago for a black defendant in the Boston area. It was an attempted murder trial with a bunch of other charges thrown in. This kid was as guilty as the day is long once all the evidence was presented.

We had one black female juror. She refused REFUSED to find him guilty on the attempted murder charge. We spent 2-3 days trying to convince her. It was black tribal solidarity.

We ended up (after 3 1/2 days of deliberations) finding him not guilty of the attempted murder charge but guilty on all the other charges. The judge spoke to us afterwards telling us he was a frequent flyer in the justice system and since Mass had a 3 strikes law, he was getting extra time. I think he got about 6-7 years but it was far less then he should’ve gotten. It was very frustrating.

After Iran Downs Apache Helicopter, Trump Threatens New Round of Airstrikes

Is he serious this time or is it more, you know, twitter bullshit?


Comments President Donald Trump made on Wednesday suggest that he may be losing patience with the ongoing negotiations with Iran, which have for months failed to produce a peace deal.

"They've taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

The statement comes a day after the U.S. launched what it called "self-defense strikes" against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will retaliate against the U.S. strikes, stating "no attack or threat" will be ignored.

Trump now says that the limited airstrikes of Tuesday and today are just the preamble, and that the long-planned attack on Iran's power plants and bridges is coming.

I have to say, I don't believe this. I think this is more saber-rattling to provoke Iran into signing a "deal" that they simply will never, ever sign.

And it would mean nothing point zero zero zero even if they signed it. They are lying, dishonorable, death-cultists animals.

Generally-supportive General Jack Keane is visibly frustrated with the stalemate.

FoxNews reports that the downed Apache pilots were rescued by... a robotic boat.

I've seen stuff like that in Ukraine, where wounded soldiers are now ferried from the front line to rear-area medical units by robotic stretchers. Ukraine also sank Russian ships using robotic kamikaze boats.

We're now officially living in the future (but not the future we were promised).


What Trump wants is a "deal" he can call a victory and then get the price of oil down to spark the American economy into a hot burn. But Iran knows this is exactly what he wants, and they will never give it to him.

What really has to be hit isn't power plants, which would hurt the population. What has to be hit is mosques where regime leadership is hiding, because they know we won't hit them.

And hospitals which also serve as regime headquarters. And the hospitals don't render treatment to anyone but regime leaders and wounded regime thugs, so nothing much lost if they're hit.

Obviously, hitting these targets would be extremely controversial. I understand why Trump isn't giving the order -- but I think the order has to be given to actually finish off the regime.

And if Trump doesn't want to do it: Give Israel the go code and promise to defend their striking of these hidden regime bases.

Otherwise, it's just this tit-for-tat bullshit forever, with oil prices remaining high and the GOP's standing degrading.

I think you've been misreading the situation for a while.

The diplomatic talks are failure theater and have been since the end of open hostilities. The important thing is the blockade. It's killing Iran's economy. They're dealing with 25% inflation per week. Their trade is down 93%. They're losing $450 million per day.

The strait and the oil market?

It's been adapting since the start. More than half of all oil out of the strait was redirected within days (7 million barrels alone from Saudi's pipeline that was dealing with 500,000 per day before). There are now acknowledgements of smaller tankers taking loads from larger tankers on the Oman side and ship to ship transferring to other larger tankers. All while demand destruction (mostly in Africa and China) take care of most of the rest of the "missing barrels". All while VZ exports increase. US exports increase (we're past the bubble now, actually, they've started to decrease).

RBOB went under $3 yesterday.

I won't say "never" sign. I will say "never sign before the midterms." No matter what Trump does or says, short of nuking Tehran, the regime knows that all it has to do is hold out until November and maybe -- maybe -- things change in their favor.

And certainly, they know Trump is out in 2028 and a Democrap president -- god help us all -- would revert right back to the Obama-era policy of sucking mullah dick.

2028 sounds like a long way away. But the regime has clung to life and survived for 50 years through multiple wars and uprisings and bloodbaths. They can hold out another 2-3 years.

It's optional for most of the world, already. Was for a while.

The world adapted to the oil shock of the 70s with new oil exploration outside of the Middle East, and that infrastructure has been building ever since.

In the 70s, the strait handled 40% of all oil trade. In 2026, it was 20%, and more than half of that was rerouted in days with existing infrastructure.

I don't think so. He could do that by bombing a lot of their infrastructure (power, oil facilities, etc).

The more important part of Iran wasn't the nuclear capabilities (which are important), but Trump's overall geopolitical strategy to make America the vector for energy in the world.

That's why he hit Venezuela first, essentially turning it into an American protectorate from an energy perspective.

The world finding ways around the strait advantage America because it makes the Middle East less important overall, including more foreign purchasing of American energy.

If you read the media, which they do, they see the biased presses view that Americans opposed taking Iran down... which is IMO far from the truth...

BUT... it gives them hope, so they hold on... because the only way to win a War is to either totally destroy their ability to wage war, or to destroy their WILL to fight...

So, it would require 67 votes in the Senate.

113 Trump should string the Iranians along until November with these peace talks and more tit for tat strikes. He knows the Iranians aren’t seriously negotiating and stalling for time so he’s returning the favor in kind because he’s a patient man and has more time than the mullahs do.

Hopefully the GOP retains a majority in Congress and then Trump can unleash the dogs of war again on Iran for a few more months.

The CIA will have finally found a way to smuggle in some firepower to the Iranian people and then they can take down the regime.

Then Trump just has to secure Hormuz and the nukes and it’s checkmate.

If *anybody* other than Trump were doing anything on this, Iran could not be so glib.

They know that Trump has turned down retaliatory strikes before because to him the casualties--even on the other side--"weren't worth it".

120 And fwiw, the most recent consumer survey shows a decline in anticipating new higher inflation which means that should calm down. We took a one time hit which is now dwindling a bit.

Trump is using the anaconda strategy where Iran runs out of money rather than boots on the ground or air strikes to eliminate infrastructure. His main focus is on obtaining the uranium and ending nuclear aspirations of Iran and not regime overthrow as a formal goal.

Israel's calculus is different because its citizens are still being hit by Iranian proxies and still threatened by Iran's ballistic missile and drone programs. They want the IRGC gone but don't have the ability themselves to end it either by bombing or certainly not by boots on the ground.

We aren't sending boots on the ground nor massive infrastructure (although Kharg Island might be on the chopping block) as Trump wants the nuke threat over, and then turning the entire Middle East mess back to the Arabs, Persians, and Israel to deal with. For us, the blockade strategy works just fine--hurts competitors, raises US revenues as we are now a net exporter, and hurts Iran.

That is where the conflict in aims and means is occurring.

And yet, oil is the only cudgel people have against Trump in this conflict.

"Trump is desperate for a deal because he wants oil prices to crash."

Despite Trump saying publicly that he doesn't give a shit about the price of oil.

The entire premise that Trump is desperate for a deal is predicated on the idea that Trump wants lower oil prices for political reasons...but he's already getting lower oil prices while America has seen the most benefit from higher oil prices (just ahead of Norway with Brent) because we can produce and refine and few other people can.

125 While I admit Trump may have had bad advice on this halting of bombing, when he had them on the ropes...I think he did it to prove he tried to negotiate. For about six weeks to long, but what do any of us know?

Iran a year ago was demolished for making a nuke. Pakistan was trying to help that problem (and they have a nuke). Now eyes from space are on who/what/where onland is bring in arms. I don't know squat but I believe this. I think, and could be wrong, that they were watching, waiting and had precision strikes last night to new areas.

The ONLY news on Iran I trust is Tousi, for better or worse. He reports where the strikes are. I thank Ace for introducing me to him. He's nice to look at as well and funny.

I don't like that it's dragged out. I also don't like people whining about everything Trump does. I believe Iran won't recover for generations from what they had with pallets of billions from Obungo and Slow Joe.

The legal counsel of the EEOC just released an opinion calling disparate impact analysis unconstitutional. That is in part to tee up a Scotus case burying Griggs v. Duke Power which created the disparate impact doctrine from whole cloth in the early 70's.

Awful decision contradicting the actual text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But as in the VRA, the equal protection and due process clauses trump a statute and the rule is that if a statute and the constitution conflict, then the statute must be interpreted in such a way that no conflict exists.

Iran will play all three of its Group G matches on the West Coast of the United States, specifically split between Los Angeles, California and Seattle, Washington.

Due to strict U.S. visa restrictions and the ongoing geopolitical conflict, the team is based across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. The players will fly in via charter flights strictly on matchdays and must exit the U.S. immediately after each game.

Also, our inventories are still above average.

Ha, yes. He's been putting up with me for almost 50yrs this September. Best friends still and we have a lot of fun.

I lucked out, and many did not want me to marry him based on his first year (age 22yrs) breaking up with me seasonally (for no reason).I was asked by 3 doctors (one interested in me) if I knew what I was doing. Yes.

He said he knew after that year it would take me awhile to believe he was serious and was prepared for my laugh with his first proposal.

A few comments on X but that no one authoritatively claimed that. It has 80-90 million people spread out over a vast terrain and many of its facilities are deeply dug in over decades for missile launches and drones. Plus well over 125k or so of IRGC troops and probably about 500k to 1 million more auxiliaries counting foreigners. Then the remnants of their regular military although that is pretty much a shell now.

So, we can take out bridges, power plants, oil facilities, etc but probably not all missile launch sites nor drone production or small boats. Mines are also fairly easy to produce for the Persian Gulf. So, we are in a holding pattern which upsets a lot of folks here mainly over the increase in gas prices it seems.

We aren't losing, Iran is not winning by any stretch, but I think people got hopped up on figuring those Iranian bastards of the IRGC and mullahs deserved to be toppled.

No one is in charge. The IRGC leaders have been picked off with strategic strikes. I think janitors are firing the remaining missiles and drones at this point, ticking off most of their neighbors.

It was more than likely a mid-air collision. Missiles and gun fire bring down aircraft. Drones dive bomb into building and shit, then blow up.

It's been documented that the Apache's were downing some of the IRGC's drones with small rockets and gunfire. But it's dangerous work... flying a few dozen yards behind a wobbly drone going 120MPH. It'd be a shame if the practice was halted. It reportedly was having some success.

My reasoning is that this will actually solve the Iran problem, one way or another. Either they stand aside and let us take it, in which case we can proceed with ignoring them forever, or they show up where we can see them and aim at them without hitting civilians.

People want to adapt the language of diplomacy to politics, and they don't mix.

Iran is losing GDP massively. Internal cohesion is falling apart (not our problem the Iranian people don't have anything like an organized resistance, we can't make that for them). Inflation is sky-high.

And Trump's great concern is $3.50 per gallon gas? Which continues to fall as the strait gets more and more bypassed or used (yes, stuff is going through).

And it's because Trump threatened genocide before the ceasefire, which is definitely what he was gonna do and wasn't just speaking the language of power to get an end to hostilities so he could replace it with the noose of siege warfare.

Even if it doesn't and stays in the 90's, the oil price shock is a one off, not a repeated event.

I think you misunderstand my point.

Iran can't rebuild anything with GDP crashing. It can't import anything of substance because of the blockade.

I don't care if the IRGC remains in power. And I don't think Trump does either. He wants to weaken them (and take away their nukes) to such a degree that they can't be the global sponsor of terror anymore (while making America THE central hub of energy).

He's stealing their money both in terms of trade embargoes and their holdings in GCC banks (which are mostly in dollars as opposed to the worthless Iranian rial).

And the only thing Iran is holding over his head is oil prices...while oil prices continue to just...decline over time.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat

I think too much of it comes from bad media intake and impatience. Those that know our military's strength get impatient and want results right now--those that are ignoramuses and watch main stream media are getting the Democrat take where they haven't ever seen a war since Vietnam that they haven't wanted to lose. They essentially hate America and root for its enemies so you will never get any favorable report from them.

So, the rest of it is mainly settling in that we are not going to totally destroy the IRGC by military might, we can keep them from exploiting the nuke dust and restarting their campaign and impoverish the Iranian state pretty easily. And the price that we pay for not putting our troops at much risk is waiting and paying more for gas. That is the least we can do for those guys on the front lines.

231 I don't think he did. I think it was more that Iran is bleeding out economically without its oil revenue and in the current state, unable to restart its nuke program. We can wait and have no need to engage militarily. Where the impatience comes from is people that got their hopes up that the Iranians would be free and the price of gasoline.

I wonder why Trump cares about the dust...can't we just keep an eye on the piles of crap its under? who cares unless they try to dig to get it?

So, I think that Democrats would not be able to stop themselves from going against invading Iran. Their delusion bubble would tell them that the position of wanting the American voter in danger of nuclear hellfire is a surefire political winner, since they're gnostics and incapable of understanding people who think material danger is real.

Time is actually on our side because Iran is not getting any money to sustain the regime--they are totally dependent on oil revenue and these continuing attacks on the places where they banked their external resources in places like Qatar, UAE, etc. aren't inclined to give it back to the Iranians and certainly are not releasing it.

Inflation does not work that way. Basically, you get a supply shock then the cobweb theorem sets in--it decrease marginal demand, causes marginal supply to ease up and eventually you get a new equilibrium. For the most part, long term inflation is driven by excessive money being printed, not from supply shocks.

261 This is a valid point (Sefton and I talked about it on our podcast yesterday), and I think a lot of people, including me, were overly optimistic about the Iranian people rising up.

But the Mullahs and the IRGC have had 47 years to build a terror state, and they did a good job of it.

They've had two generations of being oppressed. That doesn't get erased overnight. It's part of their internal mentality now.

Imagine if we were doing something similar in North Korea. The NoKo people would be absolutely clueless about how to stage a revolution. Worse, they'd undoubtedly side with their own military and leadership because it's bred into their cultural DNA by now.

262 I think Trump knows how much damage is being done to Iran by the blockade, that the world doesn't actually care about the issue anymore because oil has been largely redirected, and he actually has a bunch of time on his side to get what he wants.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 10, 2026 04:15 PM (6hlNa)

I've been very critical of Trump's policy, but I've also noted that I can tell how much oil is leaking through the straits by oil prices, not by anything anyone says. And oil prices have obviously been trending down, so obviously shipments are leaking through. (as Trump confirmed today)

But at some point you've got to admit that the other side is just making a fool out of your willingness to negotiate, and it does nothing for someone's reputation to let that go on.

No rational person believes that there is even a tiny chance of negotiating any deal that Iran will live up to.

Trump was never going to do that in any realistic sense and never promised it either. Iran is much larger in area and in population than Iraq and would require a truly massive army of occupation to root out the remnants of the IRGC and fight the inevitable insurgency and maintain logistics.

Never was in the cards. So that leaves the US with probably its best options anyway--air power and naval forces employment. And let the IRGC sit and rot while the money runs out.

That is why Trump is focused on getting the dust back, regime change was never on the cards unless the Iranians do it themselves.

Iran either gives it up or they sit and rot with no money coming in--eventually something happens internally because nuke dust in the ground is not usable as an immediate threat, and ad hoc missile launches just pisses everyone else around off, meanwhile their oil customers either make do or find alternative sellers. If Trump wants to raise the ante, bombing Kharg Island into oblivion is the next step which will destroy Iran's export capability for years perhaps, taking out power plants ditto, so we can afford to wait.

It doesn't matter if you disagree with reality, or if that cool economics prof of yours used to grade according to Samuelson and Nordhaus. Inflation is solely a reflection on expansion of the money supply, no matter what the money is.

Samuelson and Nordhaus were not the paragons of truth that your Econ professor put them up as. They were extolling the success of the Soviet economic system until the final edition, and the rest of their economics was based on rules of thumb, best practices developed by the Bank of England to paper over their own default since 1978, and "what ought to be"

306 A siege is a military blockade of a city or fortress aimed at forcing its surrender through attrition or assault.

The duration of a siege can vary significantly, often lasting months or even years, depending on the resources available to both the attackers and defenders.

Historically, some sieges have lasted for years, depending on the circumstances surrounding the conflict.

Going in under fire won't work under any circumstances, not as long as there is a single drone left in Iran. The Ukraine war has demonstrated that if you are on the surface and can be seen, you can be killed by a small hunter killer drone, and any attempt to send troops in to grab the dust would be met by hundreds of those every day. There's no effective defense against them yet. (which is why Russia's offensive is totally stalled out)

323 The diplomatic talks are failure theater and have been since the end of open hostilities. The important thing is the blockade. It's killing Iran's economy. They're dealing with 25% inflation per week. Their trade is down 93%. They're losing $450 million per day.

332 The U.S. Central Command stated it allows the passage of humanitarian food and medical supplies, but the general blockade and conflict have severely disrupted global supply chains.

Russia has delivered humanitarian aid, including 150 metric tons of food and over 300 metric tons of medicine, via rail and truck through the Astara border crossing in Azerbaijan as of late March 2026

And the IRGC has made almost daily public statements saying that this condition is absolutely unacceptable to them. Which is the exact reason I believe that there is no accepted framework for the discussions between the two sides yet.

350 Trump is trapped by his own rhetoric about The Four Words That Must Not Be Spoken, which he sold the base on. Because of that, he cannot do what must be done to end the war.

Trump is trapped by the false belief that Iranian leadership operates on a rational, Western, level regarding war. This is the same false belief that led to turning over Afghanistan and Iraq to local control so soon, and the disasters that followed. Trump believes he can negotiate with them and come to resolution and refuses to accept otherwise.

As a result, he is trapping himself in the Two Words of Doom that he promised his base to avoid. Ultimately, he is going to have to pull a Bush and declare a victory that is anything but, punt the ball down the road, and hope nobody remembers he failed to resolve the situation like everyone else since 1979. He managed a heavily destructive operation, which is certainly nice, but he cannot win unless he does what nobody wants to support.

Trump Orders the Postal Service to Not Deliver Mail-In Ballots to States That Refuse to Turn Over Their Voter Lists

CNN is so mad.

States' rights! States' rights! States' rights!



Postal Service won't deliver mail ballots for states that don't hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive


State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.

That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting.

Crack down on illegal mail-in voting.

CNN is garbage and I can't wait until they're all fired.

If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections -- and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

1, it's not supposed, and 2, this reveals that you did know the measure is intended to crack down on illegal mail-in voting, but chose to conceal that from readers out of a motive to propagandize for the Democrat Party and their legions of fake voters.

The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.

So far, 23 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia are suing, as are Democratic Party leaders and non-partisan voter advocacy groups, setting up a potentially active summer of high-stakes judicial rulings.

The Trump administration cleared an initial legal hurdle last month, when a federal judge in Washington, DC, who is overseeing one set of the cases, declined to block Trump's executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin implementing it.

The Democratic Party groups are asking an appeals court to speed up its review of that decision, warning that voters around the country could be disenfranchised in this year's midterm elections if the proposal is not blocked.

In an interview with CNN, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat whose state is part of the coalition that filed a legal challenge in Boston, said that if courts rule for the Trump administration, "Then you will see a virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government."

Yes, "unless" states obey federal directives in an area the federal government does indeed have supremacy over state law.

Look: Just secede already. You're agitating for it and I, for one, would love to be rid of you.

31 I guess there's two possible avenues here;

- Nationalize all elections
- Nationalize only the Presidential election

Third possibility would be to come down hard on the states, like California that are fucking around. Nullify fraudulent elections, which should be done anyway.

States like CA, NY, CO, VA, etc. see no recriminations for the fraud and will likely implement similar schemes for national elections. States nibbling around the edges of fraud will see no reason not to go all in and adopt the California method.

60 First principles -- no aspect of voting can ever be left to state control, oversight, or institutions.

Voting only works if it is a competitive process between candidates (actually, parties) overseen at the local level and facilitated by the state, but never ever relying on the state to keep it honest.
ie, mail in ballots only work if their numbers are so low that they don't matter.

We have forgotten this, but state employees doing the counting? state workers handling chain of custody? this is all absurd.

Every step that matters must have representatives from at minimum two candidates (parties) making sure it is honest.

IIRC, Constitution expressly authorizes congress to establish a post office. It does not explicitly require congress to do it, or to fund it. I think Congress could shut it down or refuse to fund more than the barest minimum. I don't know if the president can do that by EO.

65 This Postal Service part of mail-in ballots is it's Achilles heel. Mail-in ballots can be regulated in so many ways.

Just some quick spit balling:

The Postal Service needs certification to transport election ballots.

Each person that may handle or direct someone who handles mailed ballots must be bonded.

Ballots may not be coming led with regular mail.

Photo evidence of delivery at each point of handling.

Special stamps for ballots and special handling instructions.

Special envelopes with watermarks.

All ballot mail marked with maximum legal punishment for election fraud.

Maximum number of ballots per address.

The Dems can regulate away so many rights for the law abiding through Environmental and Safety law we should be able to regulate away the means of commie election cheating.

"It doesn't matter who votes by mail it only matter who controls the mail delivery".

In California it wouldn't stop the fraud but they would have to consider the impact of the extra time, cost, and effort for their mail in cheating.

I'd be thrilled if Colorado was blocked from mailing ballots, but probably they have or will comply with the order. I think this states vote rigging is mostly marking ballots for what the commies want for voters that don't bother to actually vote. The voter participation rates in 2020 for Biden and to block an amendment to limit abortions after 5 months were way higher than normal. the Soros SoS had loosened the signature verification so that it would accept almost anything as a valid signature vs having to be a fairly close match to the DL signature.

You can not make it that complex.

The solution is simple -- limit mail-in to such a low number that the mail-in vote is insignificant except for extremely rare conditions that can not be expected to ever happen.

Mail in can not ever be relied on for more than 1% or lower of the ballots. And it has to be subject to the same checks as regular ballots -- mailed to local precinct in time to be counted on election night.

101 Being our POTUS, Trump is 100% in control of the U.S. Post Office originally established by Benjamin Franklin for U.S. communications and commerce.
However, not delivering ballots by the U.S. Post Office is only a performative measure that has only a minor influence on the fraud mail-in ballot problem. All that means is that instead of using U.S. mail they will stuff the ballot drop off boxes flooding the communities, trunks of union vehicles, and regional police (again unions) helicopters.

It was merely a Post Office regulation that banned sending guns via mail, IIRC, not a law.

A regulation I think has also just been repealed.

And there's a whole list of otherwise legal items you're not allowed to mail.

So the rule is well-established that the Post Office has sole discretion as to what gets mailed.

It seems even stupid idiots dumb enough to donate to this punk's "legal defense" aren't so dumb not to know they were being played for chumps as soon as they saw the money was being used to fund the parents' lavish lifestyle. They saw that and demanded the money back on the ground that it was fraudulently solicited.

134 Auditing is nice, but it is only necessary because we have handed the entire process to the state.

voting should never be run by the state!!!!

Auditing should be an audit of the *process* not the votes. The vote integrity should be self evident in real time as it happens.

- vote rolls published and finalized weeks before election. Period.
- time for canvassing by parties to check rolls are legit with no false names/addresses
- voting at local precincts overseen by party representatives
- count at local precincts overseen by party representatives.
- counts move up the hierarchy, but by now they are public and anyone can add them up.

So what needs to be audited? local candidates and parties have already seen it all happen in real time. Auditing only checks that numbers were added correctly with no out of chain-of-custody votes included. Final canvassing to make sure no false votes inserted.

but what happened is we let the cities run by one party lose chain-of-custody checks (precinct numbers never add up) and have no independent oversight (there is only one party) That inserted fraud. Dems expanded that fraud to take control of entire election by centralizing...

You can not make it that complex.

The solution is simple -- limit mail-in to such a low number that the mail-in vote is insignificant except for extremely rare conditions that can not be expected to ever happen.

Mail in can not ever be relied on for more than 1% or lower of the ballots. And it has to be subject to the same checks as regular ballots -- mailed to local precinct in time to be counted on election night.

Not really, it is a government corporation like the Bonneville Power Administration, the TVA, etc. but the president appoints the Postmaster General and it is a core function of the executive branch as per the US Constitution as one of the rare mentions of specific agencies in that document.

It it not a quasi independent regulatory agency which is what you are thinking of and what Humphrey's Executor Scotus decision dealt with.

As far as the Post Office, Myers v. US is the ruling case which puts president at the top of the executive branch and the post office under that.

That would be a harder lift constitutionally than what Trump proposed. And what you may or may not know is that the USPS since the 9/11 days developed and implemented photo scanning and digitizing those images of every piece of mail of the outside of envelopes. That indicates the time, date, and where it was scanned making insertion of fraudulent votes via mail very risky.

They did it to stop any new uses of the mail to send anthrax, bombs, etc. via the mail and parcel service. But it can be employed for what Trump proposes as well.

I ordered something online that originated from McAllen, TX. It went through Ft. Worth, then to Kansas. It spent a couple days rolling around Kansas before it went back to Ft. Worth. It left Ft. Worth to Coppell, Tx. It returned to Ft. Worth before being finally delivered to the local post office location here and delivered the next day. The Coppell facility is 10 miles away from here.

The legal counsel of the EEOC just released an opinion calling disparate impact analysis unconstitutional. That is in part to tee up a Scotus case burying Griggs v. Duke Power which created the disparate impact doctrine from whole cloth in the early 70's.

Awful decision contradicting the actual text of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But as in the VRA, the equal protection and due process clauses trump a statute and the rule is that if a statute and the constitution conflict, then the statute must be interpreted in such a way that no conflict exists.

185 That would be a harder lift constitutionally than what Trump proposed. And what you may or may not know is that the USPS since the 9/11 days developed and implemented photo scanning and digitizing those images of every piece of mail of the outside of envelopes. That indicates the time, date, and where it was scanned making insertion of fraudulent votes via mail very risky.

They did it to stop any new uses of the mail to send anthrax, bombs, etc. via the mail and parcel service. But it can be employed for what Trump proposes as well.

Posted by: whig at June 10, 2026 02:54 PM


The number one problem with all of the fraud is not the postal service.


The fraudulent "votes" for the most part are not sent through the USPS, they are introduced at the local level after ballot counting has started either through stuffing drop boxes or boxes of ballots being found in the trunks of oldsmobiles parked in the back of the ballot counting buildings.

I have had more luck with USPS than Fed Ex for the last dozen years. UPS is a bit better on tracking than USPS but Fed Ex Ground service has sucked for a long time and has gotten worse over time.

The worst is smart post where USPS delivers and either UPS or Fed Ex originate to the local Post Office. That often ends up the worst of all possible worlds as the tracking often just stops and the item shows up unexpectedly much later or never shows up.

I get the sentiment but disagree. The question of secession was answered and settled in 1865: No state leaves. The Union is not to be broken. If nothing else, we cannot allow it due to sheer strategic necessity. A fractured US would be a weakness our foreign enemies wouldn't hesitate to exploit.

There may come the time (probably soon) when ballots no longer work and it comes down to bullets. It's happened before. If so, either we win or they do.

If you don't know what that means, my dad's mom's side of the family are Christian Science, who actually believe that if you're sick it's because you're not believing in your health enough.

Sounds crazy, right? But I'm about to make it make sense. You have heard this before:

The material world is an illusion. We have been trapped in this filthy dirt not by a kind Creator, but a vicious Demiurge. There is no matter but what minds make, and if you believe hard enough you can change it.

Anything that makes you feel good has the power to make you lie to yourself to justify doing more of it, and the First Lie -- that you can be your own god -- is one such, as a flattery. While material incentive also plays a powerful role in why they stew in the filth of their failed policies like This Is Fine dog, in order to predict their behavior accurately, it's important to understand they're also crazy.

DOJ Has the statutory duty to ensure compliance and voter list maintenance is very clearly defined in the statute.

To succeed on any challenge materially, the states would have to show harm, and in doing so would also have to defend not providing proof of compliance with both statutes, which would defeat their initial challenge to the collection. This os only being held up because federal judges are corrupt and helping to delay the review until after the midterms, which btw caused harm to the citizens and republic by allowing irreversible fraud to occur.

He's been arrested in Haiti about 3 times, and his phone call from the jail went to somebody ready to pay his ransom--because THAT is pretty much what it was.

They arrest you because you look like you have money on you, but the trouble REALLY comes when you DON'T. You'd better call somebody who has money, or you're going to be there a while.

Actually, due to digital records, it is likely that the administration will prevail. States can keep separate records for state elections (see AZ with its weird federal or state ballots) but not for federal offices. It is likely that blue states will eventually lose this time too simply because the VRA has been renewed multiple times since 1965 with federal oversight strengthened along with the HAVA act which specifically authorizes fedgov ability to scrutinize voting rolls. It has just never been used and litigated that way yet.

I believe that I read that California as a nation would be the 5th largest economy in the world.

As badly as I would want to be shed of CA--and as much as I joke about it being another country, we can't lose that much commerce. That would leave a mark.

But, there is no guarantee that California could secede as a whole, especially since the people who have pushed for the "State of Jackson" as a portion of CA are barred mainly by the prohibition against making states from part of states.

I'm pretty sure that CA would be leaving limbs behind, so it's either a repressive secession--in which case the US can easily intervene--or they are going to be missing major swaths of land.

252 Had a co-worker who has been to Haiti on missionary trips many times. He told us stories about always having your bribe money ready and be ready for ANYBODY to try to shake you down.

ESPECIALLY ... cops.

He's been arrested in Haiti about 3 times, and his phone call from the jail went to somebody ready to pay his ransom--because THAT is pretty much what it was.

They arrest you because you look like you have money on you, but the trouble REALLY comes when you DON'T. You'd better call somebody who has money, or you're going to be there a while.

But, other than that, it's got some resorts.

The governor and mayoral races are completely contained within a state.

And if you read in the Federalists, there is a beauty to the idea that states control their own elections for representation. That's one of the efficiencies of the Electoral College over a "national vote".

His policies also mandated that new buildings on military installations be entirely electric, no gas, no steam, no usual power sources, unless there was not enough electric power locally available. In that case, all new buildings had to leave room for full electrification when enough power did become available, so now we have a bunch of buildings with huge dance floors in the mechanical rooms that will never be used for anything, but which need to be heated and maintained.

Posted by: Axeman

States will never have the right nor should they of controlling federal office elections. Thus, the clauses under Article I of each house is the sole judge of election contests and the relevant clauses in Article II dealing with the selection of the president and election contests.

To do otherwise implies that the states are greater than the federal government which is explicitly repudiated on matters regarding how the federal government operates. That has been consistent principle since the Convention --state's rights end when it becomes the powers and functioning of the federal government. If states don't like that, they have to amend the Constitution itself.

If the Feds aren't going to deal with the state's internal shit then make voting for Federal office cost something. Include members of Congress in that.

That is not quite what happened in the 2020 case. When Scotus hears cases using the original jurisdiction between states, it has to hear the case just like a trial court. That almost always in the history of this Article III provision means appointing a special master to hear and collect information in a quasi judicial fact finding and then reporting it to the court to accept or reject the findings. The long lived river water litigation between Georgia, Alabama, and Florida is the typical case where a special master issued a report, but Scotus rejected the initial one and required the special master to reassess certain legal factors.

Typically, one state has never had the right to sue over the internal workings of another state (and Scotus clarified this again in the Florida suing NY (I think) over issuing CDLs to illegals.

311 The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is currently facing a severe financial crisis, with Postmaster General David Steiner warning Congress that the agency could run out of cash by early 2027 if it does not receive federal intervention. Congress is actively debating how to address the structural deficits.

The USPS is caught between its constitutional mandate to provide universal service to 170 million addresses, and a legal requirement to be self-funded. The agency has lost over $25 billion in the last three years and faces over $166 billion in unfunded pension and retiree health obligations.
