Person of Interest Sought in Brown Shooting
Claim: Brown Had Disabled Their Security Camera System Because Left-Wing Groups Complained That the Cameras Were Photographing Their "Protesters" Committing Crimes
Crimes which could then serve as a basis for expelling them from the country.
So, the allegation goes, they pressured Brown into simply turning off their cameras, and Brown, of course, complied. Before that: Supposedly they are searching for a specific person of interest in the terror shooting. Of course they won't tell the public who they're looking for. It's standard police practice to withhold information during a manhunt so that the public cannot help you find the suspect. Wait a minute, no, that's not standard police practice at all, is it?A person of interest has been identified in the deadly mass shooting at Brown University, multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News on Thursday. Law enforcement has identified a person, and a search for that individual is underway, the sources said.Remember, they put out a picture of a man seen "in proximity" of the actual suspect, asking for tips about who he was. Their hope was that this man might be a witness who could offer a description of the actual suspect, I gather. So when they say "a person of interest" has been identified, they might just be referring to this witness, not the killer. Meanwhile, there is a claim that Brown deliberately disabled many of its cameras because left-wing criminal "activists" didn't want the police having videotaped evidence of their crimes, and their foreign-born Islamic agitators didn't want to be expelled from the country. And then this literal wilful blindness enabled the killer to (so far) walk away from his crime, unidentified. I don't know if this is true. Brown the cops claim that it's not suspicious that there are only a couple of videos of the terrorist killer because this building was on the edge of the campus, bordering on a residential neighborhood with no camera coverage. Uh, okay, that's plausible. What's the excuse for their being no cameras inside a school building? At the doors?
BREAKING: Far-left groups reportedly pressured Brown University and other colleges to disable CCTV cameras—so violent pro-Palestinian activists wouldn’t be held accountable.

HHS Moves to Block Hospitals From Performing Sex Change Mutilations on Children;
House Moves to Ban
HHS wants to stop the Jack-to-Jill Ripper surgeries.
The Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday announced a series of proposed regulations to block hospitals from performing myriad gender-related treatments on children. The regulations would block surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone treatments, which the department said "cause irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects." "Under my leadership, and answering President Trump's call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said.The House wants to criminalize the barbarous genital mutilation.
The House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday night that makes it a felony for doctors to perform transgender surgeries and procedures on minors, despite heavy opposition from over 200 House Democrats. The legislation, titled the Protect Children's Innocence Act, passed in a 216-211 vote, which saw 207 House Democrats and four moderate House Republicans object to it. Three House Democrats joined with their Republican counterparts to pass it. The four House Republicans to vote with the Democrats are Reps. Mike Lawler of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Mike Kennedy of Utah, and Gabe Evans of Colorado, while the three Democrats are Reps. Don Davis of North Carolina, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, and Henry Cuellar of Texas, according to the Daily Signal.I think three of those defecting RINOs also defected to join the Democrats in forcing a vote on extending the "temporary COVID Obamacare subsidies" by another three years. At which point, the "temporary subsidies" will be extended again, unless Democrats have big majority, in which case they'll drop the "temporary" lie and officially make them permanent.

Mutilations are okay if "necessary to the health of the minor on whom it is conducted, and is conducted by a person licensed in the place of such conduct as a medical practitioner."

Senate already voted on the extensions, neither plan could beat the filibuster. So the House vote was meaningless without the Senate having 60 votes to agree.

True, but voluntary (!) castration was a real thing in places like China and Persia, and often a gateway to significant power and influence. Adult eunuchs had "sons" -- younger boys willing to apprentice to become a Eunuch -- and raised them to succeed them.
This is insane to me, but it was a really big deal in China up into this century. The Chinese court Eunuchs probably had more real power than Pu Yi.

One of the many ironies of the (un)Affordable Care Act is that the same people cheering Luigi for shooting a UHC CEO cheered on the ACA which gave multi-billion-dollar windfalls to UHC and other Big Insurance players. Yet they cannot - or will not - connect the dots.

1. Old, fucked in the head trannies look in the mirror and know they will NEVER look the way they want because they went through puberty.
2. Marxian theory puts everyone into oppressor / oppressed buckets. EVERYONE. Leftists are primed to accept every single degradation of society as long as their thought leaders plug the action into this template. Tranny kids are oppressed, therefore anyone who objects is an oppressor.
3. People who hate western society use any tool they can to destroy it. Attacking core identities like family, marriage, children attacks the pillars of western society.
4. Unknown environmental factors have been causing a significant year over year decrease in testosterone, which has significant impact in behavior. This has been noticed for at least 60 years.
5. Unknown environmental factors have been causing autism. Autistic kids know they're different. They are deeply susceptible to being told changing X or Y about themselves will make them normal.
6. Pedos want access to kids. Normalizing talking to kids about sex gives them cover for grooming.
There are more reasons, but this is getting long.

The left noticed trannies were willing to kill themselves when they finally noticed you can't change sex.
So they worked on targeting them at their political opponents instead. Its not nature that means you can't be a woman. Its that damn Charlie Kirk saying it that's stopping you from really becoming one!

Maybe it was more fun then than having constant leakage, 20min to pee, ingrown hair pain/irritation and no sex or the ability to orgasam again. Then there's the fistula between holes, which sounds like fun. When 1/2 commit suicide after the surgery...altho you won't find that statistic anymore online.
Do they put that on the surgical consent?
Or, for women, who have double mastectomies and hysterectomies at a young age and then change their minds a decade later and want children. Is that on the consent for the surgeries? Or having such a small penis (2") it is basically useless? Strap ons would be better, fake men!
Now let's add foreign hormones to teens who are probably already on SSI's and illegal drugs and see what this stew creates! You are altered but still depressed, is the answer. Except for Chaz Bono with her beard, I am unsure what she thinks.

A family member recently went through a surgery that required a long incision (and resulting scar) in the abdomen. It was pretty horrific, if what he said was true. I can't imagine voluntarily doing something much much worse -- and permanent -- to your genitals and ending up with a yuge gaping wound for a "vagina." People that go through this are seriously fucked in the head.

What a lot of people don’t know, or pay attention to because they vote like it’s a team sport, is that most Blue States are already usurping their parental rights under the guise of these types of issues. They’ve used abortion and gender mutilation as screens for that effort, and many of this states can discuss or be involved with these efforts and “gender transitions” without your parental knowledge. In place like NY, they are even doing things like moving away from CDC vaccine schedules and requiring them as a matter of state law. So, for example that HepB shot that does more damage then good, and was only added as an “equity”, that is to make people with HepB feel better, and is being removed. Yep, NY is going to take sure they put that poison in your newborn at birth.

Canada is much further down this evil path:
@bill_c10
This set a terrifying precedent for parents everywhere. A Canadian father, Robert Hoogland, was thrown in prison for trying to prevent his 14-year-old daughter from undergoing permanent medical transition. After schools socially transitioned her behind his back and courts authorized testosterone injections against his wishes, the state stripped him of his parental rights. When he refused to remain silent about the medical risks and the loss of his child, the government moved to silence him by force.
Hoogland was sent to prison for "contempt of court" because he defied a gag order that forbade him from referring to his child as his "daughter" or using female pronouns.

I dunno. We saw some of that here in Obama years. Fisc cons versus social conservatives for example. Fisc cons had no problems with gay marriage, marijuana legalization, or other things harmful to the US like mass migration but they got upset if their taxes got raised. Social conservatives generally opposed everything that Obama stood for including tax hikes.
I think you still have some swank GOP types that dislike their own party's base voters more than they dislike Dems. And a lot of that dislike stems from social strata of politicians being more similar than different in their socialization. Same with donors.

Pennsylvania Capital Star, 'Patients at Pa. hospitals fight DOJ’s demand for gender-affirming care records' University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia received subpoenas in June, September 25, 2025
The article begins, "Families of children who received gender-affirming care at two Pennsylvania hospitals are fighting a U.S. Department of Justice effort to obtain medical records and personal information about transgender youth.
The Public Interest Law Center in Philadelphia at the law firm Ballard Spahr filed motions Monday to quash subpoenas served on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in June."
The law firm is quite large and progressive. You may have heard of them, for instance: Press Release, The New York Times, Represented by Ballard Spahr, Prevails in Defamation Suit Brought by Sarah Palin, February 17, 2022
BTW, at the end of 2023, Mark Stewart stepped down as Chair of Ballard Spahr. He's the husband of US Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, PA-D and the firm is also where she, reportedly, ran the Pro Bono unit.

He did the same in the government shutdown which some bitched about here. With a very narrow majority, Johnson cannot rely on punishing dissidents without losing control of the House altogether. And he sure cannot rely on the strong conservatism of teh Senate. So now the Murcows and Collins are SOL for ramming something through the Senate with the Dems and forcing the House to walk the plank. They now have to consider voting for or against the House reform bill if their insurance companies back home hope to see any more money.
So the first rule for legislative leadership is never allow a vote that you will lose unless it is meaningless.

Reform also threatens their position within the oligarchic structure. All change does, but at least them that has the most are in a position to stop reform. Reform is driven often by the voters and not those that profit and draw power from the way things have always been.

Other island:

1/2 normal females with no lesbo or pervert traits
All good looking (I am the judge of this) and under the age of 40yrs old. Minimum age 25yrs. Given the same coconut and wooden spoon. Make your own huts. Cohabitation requests leading to marriage (one ordained minister to perform vows). Otherwise, do your thing in the jungle, but sleep on your side of the island unless married.
If a woman becomes pregnant and requests, she and her husband can be evacuated.
Otherwise, no medical care to keep it fair to Pervert Island, who are on their own as well, and weaving bandages from the coconut fibers, while using spit from berries for wounds.

You have to watch them. Pence was more a fisc con but he relied on his claims of being a Christian to snow the so-cons in Indiana in electing him governor. Those that claim I am one of you for whatever group are selling something, particularly faith.
Really no different than figuring out which preacher, pastor, or priest is more concerned with the world than they are with the Lord's precepts.
A common tell there is excessively emphasis on Love and a lot less on don't do this things because they estrange you from the Lord regardless of his love. And sometimes the Lord, because he loves us, punishes as rebellious children when we do not follow his word. A person of the world is concerned with wordly things rather than eternal salvation so they tell the audience what they want to hear.

Annoying Drunk Woman Harasses and Assaults Bar Staff Until She's Bodyslammed and then Ejected
Women didn't used to be like this.
Women didn't just violently assault men and expect to have some kind of Feminist Force Field that would protect them from retaliation.Her employer may be a tech company but she's no coder. She's just another idiot DEI hire.
San Francisco police revealed the identity of the woman whose booze-soaked rampage at an upscale eatery went viral this week -- and her tech employer confirmed she's been canned for the humiliating scene.
She was fired. She was not charged with assault because the bar's staff, for some reason, declined to press charges. I don't know what started her angry drunken rampage. If I were forced to guess, I would guess that she was cut off and decided this was "harassment." Update: That guess was right. From Judge Elric the Blade:
Police identified Shireen Afkari -- listed as a marketing manager for the fitness app Strava and former employee of Credit Karma on a now-scrubbed LinkedIn profile -- as the woman who was caught on video taunting and pummeling staff at Hazie's before being body-slammed by a bartender and later tripping and face-planting on the sidewalk in the Hayes Valley neighborhood, according to KRON.
Officers arrived at 9:41 p.m. Saturday after Afkari, who was accompanied by a male companion, was dragged out of the restaurant after taking a swing at staff and violently knocking a phone out of another person's hands. "He's f--ing harassing me," Afkari shouted at a bartender off camera before being hauled outside by Miguel Marchese, a staffer who later shared video of the incident on Instagram. "Ooooh, he's a liar." Afkari was arrested for public drunkenness and sent to county jail, according to cops.
Ace, that is exactly correct. From some more recent reporting: Speaking to San Francisco's KRON4, Miguel Marchese, a bartender at Hazie's, who was at the centre of the ordeal, said the couple came in at around 9 pm and staff rapidly raised concerns about their level of intoxication. "The night was quite chaotic, the couple came in, they were requesting dinner service," Marchese said. "Initially, the server verbalized to me that she could tell that her table was not only intoxicated, but perhaps on some other substances and they were giving her quite a rough time and being quite verbally abrasive with her and then I do believe after that [the server] asked for the manager to intervene." Marchese said the manager then removed cocktails from the couple's table and asked them to leave. "He retracts her cocktails from the table, because I just made them, he brings them back and he simply tells me, 'they've had enough to drink, we shouldn't serve them anymore.' And then later, it just kind of spiraled into chaos," he said.
I think this says a lot more about him than it does her https://t.co/K67ll1mNOc

Actually, they did. My dad was a criminal defense lawyer back in the day, and he and his lawyer friends had quite a few female clients who attacked men (and other women) like this. Being drunk will make you do crazy things. You might attack someone much bigger and stronger than you. You might have sex with a donut. Never can tell ...
Is female violence worse today? Probably. But it's not something new.

She was tripped as she was running down the street. I don't know if she was going after another victim or maybe trying to re-enter the bar, but someone stuck out his (?) leg and tripped the bitch. She face-planted and started boohoo whinin' and cryin'.
Unless the tripper was stopping her from committing an assault, he could be charged with assault himself.
I'm just saying, this might be why the bar's staff decided not to bother with charging her, worried that she would turn around and charge them.
But of course she will anyway.

A doctor is in deep water and out of a job after, authorities said, an afternoon out for drinks led her to attack her husband and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper.
According to FHP, 39-year-old Gisell Mansur was arrested after she became violent on the Palmetto Expressway, spitting on a trooper and attempting to block traffic at one point.
Officials said it began on Tuesday while Mansur was having drinks with friends at the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant Lounge near Miami International Airport.
After having too many drinks, Mansur’s husband went to the restaurant to pick her and a friend up.
According to the report, Mansur began arguing with her friend while they were traveling along the Palmetto Expressway near the West Flagler Street exit, at around 4 p.m.
When her husband pulled the vehicle over to intervene, Mansur reportedly became physically violent, kicking her husband in the face and later climbing onto the hood of their SUV. At one point, troopers said, she was also “sitting in the middle of the main roadway while blocking rush hour traffic.”

Ace, that is exactly correct. From some more recent reporting:
Speaking to San Francisco’s KRON4, Miguel Marchese, a bartender at Hazie’s, who was at the centre of the ordeal, said the couple came in at around 9 pm and staff rapidly raised concerns about their level of intoxication.
“The night was quite chaotic, the couple came in, they were requesting dinner service,” Marchese said.
“Initially, the server verbalized to me that she could tell that her table was not only intoxicated, but perhaps on some other substances and they were giving her quite a rough time and being quite verbally abrasive with her and then I do believe after that [the server] asked for the manager to intervene.”
Marchese said the manager then removed cocktails from the couple’s table and asked them to leave.
“He retracts her cocktails from the table, because I just made them, he brings them back and he simply tells me, ‘they’ve had enough to drink, we shouldn’t serve them anymore.’ And then later, it just kind of spiraled into chaos,” he said.

In part, because they used to see what men did to other men who went off the rails in public. The decline in warranted public ass whippings is a big part of this. Society has become too genteel, effete to function well. Law enforcement can address occasional infractions (usually after the fact
only) but not a general breakdown in public behavior. Public order has always depended on a combination of voluntary compliance and extrajudicial remedies for antisocial actors who won't voluntarily comply.
TL;DR version: Beat downs are the remedy, but an overly "civilized" society demands the state have a monopoly on such violence, which ends up meaning that bad actors effectively run things, because law enforcement is seldom on the scene.
Reader's Digest version: Bitch and her bitch man did not get nearly the ass kicking they deserved, and that's a shame.

12 years working as a bouncer in Chicago, I've seen some things.
As a rule we'd generally only place hands on a woman as a last resort. I almost typed that I only did once, but it was twice in 12 years.
Once of those times was my last time, I stopped a woman from stabbing another woman with the stem of a glass she just broke over the bar.
That was my last shift, I decided I was too old for that mess after that. I had to grab her wrist and knock the glass out of her hand.
Almost every time friends of the girls would get her out of there before we needed to perform a separation from the facility maneuver.
I did carry a girl out over my shoulder kicking and screaming until I placed her gently upon the curb or the street... once.

But for real, the law has gone way, way, way too far on protecting women when they are the aggressor.
And always assuming the man is always the aggressor and hit first merely b/c he is a man.
99% of the time, a domestic violence call will have the man arrested.
Even though study after study shows that women instigate 50% of all physical domestic violence situation.
There's the Violence Against Women Act, where they get free legal aid.
There is no Violence Against Men Act.
There's all these "code phrases" women have built to deceive the law into protecting them when they hit first:
I was being harassed
I felt unsafe

There is a baseline beauty therein that has been buried beneath weight and western leftist debauchery and ugliness.
This example while not "hot" as you state has potential, one of the tragedies of western leftist cuckishness in the wake of the rise of radical Islam is we lost the outposts of some really great party spots on the edge of empire.
Look up pics of Tehran nightlife in '77.....some of the hottest women on Earth inarguably.

For a high-end bar, I'm surprised they didn't have a yuge bouncer out front manning a velvet rope. It's pretty standard practice. People tend to be more polite when they know there's a 6-6, 350 lbs ex-football lineman in the house.

I think it's the same guy who is in online pics with her, so I assume he's a fairly serious boyfriend. Dude looks like he knows a lot about dick, though. Probably a typical sad beta cuck that modern ladies of a certain demographic like to date, while they fuck their bulls on the side.

Was at a restaurant in Louisiana a while back. Got in a conversation with a dude who'd mentioned his niece was dating this kid who was the son of a high ranking politician in the state. He said he'd told the kid "I don't care who your dad is. You hurt my niece and they'll never, and I mean NEVER, find your body."

Here's my theory.
Men eventually gain an innate understanding of how far we can escalate conflicts because for our entire lives, the consequences of stepping over that line is violence. Women, being physically weaker than men, have similar lines, but they go much farther out, and their responses tend to be nonviolent because resorting to violence is a losing play for women since it has a good chance of getting you crippled or killed.
The problem is that we now have two or three generations of women raised on the girlboss mindset, which encourages them to act like men. They've grown up with movies where a skinny 90-pound woman fights an entire team of 250-pound men and walks away without a scratch. On top of that, you have those same two generations of men who've been programmed to think that hitting a woman, even in self-defense, is one of the absolute worst things you can do, on par with using a racial slur.
The end result is boss babes who've never had to worry about pissing a guy off enough to get punched the face rocketing straight over the violence line as an opening.

Her boyfriend should've led her out at that point, buuuuut he was probably to afraid of the scolding he was going to get about "taking their side!!!!"

The Inflation Rate Falls As Trump Promises a New "Golden Age"
I turned off Trump's speech because it made me anxious. He was rushing through the script so fast he tripped over words and didn't emPHAsize key points to drive the message home.
But he did hit the points. The speech was about 20 minutes. I think he should have taken maybe 28 minutes to give the speech, adding in emphasis and pauses.Maybe that's why there was stumbling over some words -- because he had just edited it.
A fiery President Donald Trump on Wednesday night promised Americans a shock-and-awe push for affordability, offering a glimpse of his 2026 agenda to overhaul Democrat policies that have left housing and health insurance increasingly out of reach for working Americans. "Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected, and our country is back - stronger than ever before. We are poised for an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen," he declared in a nationally televised address from the White House. In tone and delivery, Trump brought optimism to the 20-minute address and vowed to voters that they would soon see lower prices, higher wages and a brighter future. He also made clear he intends to inject himself onto the midterm elections ballot when Americans will choose which party will control Congress in 2026. Woven throughout the speech were assurances that while many foreign issues have captured the Trump triage, America's kitchen table issues are his main focus. At many points in the speech, Trump reflected back on a year prior, and the near-anemic economy Americans were suffering with, emphasizing that they can't afford to go back to the era of Democratic policies. The speech was markedly and definitively "Trump." Senior White House aides confirmed to Just The News that shortly before the speech, the president tinkered with it and added his own fiery flair.
... Democrats lead Republicans on the 2026 generic ballot 48 to 45, but a change in prices could convince 74% of them that inflation and costs are no longer a problem, according to a new Echelon Insights poll.Here's the first twenty seconds of the speech. Trump may or may not have had advanced information that today's report on inflation would be a favorable one. (I assume he did.) Not even CNN could spin it. Inflation came in at 2.7%, the lowest in four years -- in other words, the lowest since Biden's policies began driving it sky high -- down 0.3% from the 3.0% mark in September. "Experts" "expected" the inflation rate to be higher than 3%. They expected rising inflation, not falling inflation.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES! Democrats are furious CNN was just FORCED to say inflation is "below expectations"

This is from a market and investment watcher. He is arguing that for the moment the rolling average for CPI correlates to the gasoline futures market
Tom Luongo (Head Sneetch)
@TFL1728

So, we finally get a CPI for November and it correlates perfectly with what we should have expected with the drop in gasoline prices.
The 4-month rolling avg. of the CPI has correlated directionally with the monthly closing price of gas futures since the run up to COVID. (see chart).
With RBOB Gasoline Futures trading @ $1.70 this morning. If that holds through year-end, we're looking at a Dec CPI (YoY) print of 2.3-2.4%. Coming into 2026 we can and should expect gas prices to further attenuate, the CPI to fall well below 2%, if not stall out completely, and wages to grow 3+% given the amount of investment happening.
Soon, copper and other tight supply commodities will be the driver of inflation, not gasoline, but we're not there yet.

If that poll is even remotely accurate, then we should keep the House. I think given the modern map with so many gerrymandered seats, the Dumocraps need a generic ballot advantage of at least 5-7 points to change control.
It's unknown how the new TX gerrymander will play out, and who knows what FL will do.
But polls like this are good news. I'm still worried about 2026 because our side has too many lazy slothing lipids who don't see a need to vote.

He's gotten a lot better than he was in 2016 and his speech in Congress earlier this year was probably one of his best, but the man will never be our greatest presidential orator.

I used to give technical talks and pitches for funding.

While I'd like to attribute that to dropping inflation. And, that may be part of it. I tend to think that the lowering fuel prices, dropping regulations, and increase in supply chain shipping (lowering hauling costs) plays a part in that as well.
This will be the primary issue in the midterms. So, I'm elated to see visible progress either way.

Posted by: Captain Obvious

You would be wrong. If you read the actual orders, it is blockading internationally sanctioned ships from entering or leaving a port. In fact, a seizure order was signed by a federal judge before the tanker was seized and boarded.
Those flying without flags or without valid registration have no protections under international law from being boarded and seized or even destroyed and thus cannot claim the protection of a nation at sea.
And in the case of Iran, Venezuela, etc., if the nation itself commits violations of international sanctions, then the ships, planes, etc. of that nation can be seized as a matter of international law.

The problem with this is many LIVs think when politicians talk about inflation its the same as prices. So if Trump solved inflation then prices should go to pre-Biden levels.
But that's not how inflation works. Thanks to Trump-enomics prices will increase slowly like they did before Biden, but it won't resolve Biden doubling prices during his regime.

I'm kind of surprised people haven't realized by now if there's one thing Trump does, and sometimes people say to a fault, it's play by the rules. He has gone out of his way to obey ever court order and every legal rule.

AI Overview: Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012 despite an economy that was still recovering from the Great Recession, with a 7.9% unemployment rate on Election Day, a rate higher than when he took office. While economic conditions were challenging, voters did not overwhelmingly blame him for the state of the economy, and the trend was perceived as improving.
Key factors that contributed to his re-election include:
perception of improvement; inherited crisis; empathy and connection; effective campaign strategy, and economic models - which was all BS but for the press behind him and against anyone "R."

Polls often use the most lenient of standards in doing these sorts of polls. All adults whether they are foreigners residing here legal or illegal, felons barred from voting, and not registered to vote.
They usually do not do geographic weighting on selection either for such 'national' polling so using RDD, it can give too much weight to places like CA, NY, IL and less to places like TX or FL.
Polls are useful for trend analysis if they use a consistent sampling frame over time but less useful until registered voters and then likely voters screening of samples start appearing in July or so.

"Several failed assassination attempts on Trump"?
Besides the two we know of, what other ones were there?
I believe I have read about the Secret Service investigating a couple of on line threats, and also the DOJ doing at least one prosecution. Do you not think that the murder of the NG female and shooting of her teammate a couple of blocks from the White House would have been an assassination attempt if the gunman could have done it? How long do you think the President could walk around in Seattle or Portland without somebody trying to kill him? A minute perhaps? Only lack of access to him is keeping him alive.

In this case, Fucker's (outrageous) claim about Trump announcing a war (!) against Venezshita got him lots of attention and clicks. He almost surely already had his excuse ready for when Trump didn't announce a war.
This is all a game to these people. Yes, there are some true believers out there. I don't think Fucker is one of them.

Early in the WoT, Capital Hill Blue published an expose that American military personnel were torturing captured jihadis and there source was, according to them, a well vetted national security resource they had worked with for years.
Their story fell apart though when in the provided videos the supposed US military members were wearing uniforms made up from random services and eventually they admitted the story was false.
But...clearly this was a major propaganda effort. Someone made those videos and tried to get people that looked like US military. And then that was it. No investigation. No revelation of the source. Nothing.
Maybe Capital Hill Blue made it up, but I think they were just a friendly source to dump propaganda on. And thanks to Shrub no one did anything about it...

Nope. If we are being legal, niceties like the boats not flying under any colors being blown up or being an internationally sanctioned ship matter.
No more than machine gunning a bunch of cartel invaders coming into the US bringing a bunch of drugs means we are in a defacto war with Mexico or that seizing arms on the high seas that are being sent to augment a civil war in violation of UN sanctions is a state of war.
So just like Venezuela's Maduro is doing a fan dance to claim he is not involved in the drug trade sending death to others for money in other countries or doing business with sanctioned companies, etc., the US is using Maduro's strategic fan dance to cram it up his ass.

But I remember Rush talking about a poll that someone had taken-
1) How are you doing economically? - a large majority said they were doing well.
2) How do you think your neighbors are doing? - a large majority said they thought their neighbors were struggling.
Rush talked about the power of the media to shape perceptions - the economy was good, but most people thought the economy was in the dumper, even though they, themselves, were doing just fine. All because of the media doing then exactly what they are doing now.

We all know he can be warm, funny, engaging.
So why would he deliver some fantastic news for the military, something that could be really heartwarming, in that tone?
I posit 2 things:
1) Trump has always redirected fire at himself, so that other's don't get attacked.
2) He wanted everyone to focus on the tone.
Because:
1) now they are not going to smear the military as "being bought off" by Trump; or "falling for a silly gimmick, 1776." Or worse, "why not the minorities, they're suffering too?"
2) They will ignore the other, just as important part: He has laid out his agenda for the next 11 months; more freedom, more prosperity, more America.
And the Dems are going to focus on the tone, how he's wrong, how bad things are.
While falling into Step 1: Get the Dems on the wrong side of the issue.
The issue is "who is going to fix this?"
And whining about Trump's tone answers "not us."

A large portion of the people voting Democrat don't care how the economy is doing.

You would be wrong. If you read the actual orders, it is blockading internationally sanctioned ships from entering or leaving a port. In fact, a seizure order was signed by a federal judge before the tanker was seized and boarded.
Those flying without flags or without valid registration have no protections under international law from being boarded and seized or even destroyed and thus cannot claim the protection of a nation at sea.
And in the case of Iran, Venezuela, etc., if the nation itself commits violations of international sanctions, then the ships, planes, etc. of that nation can be seized as a matter of international law.

What polling picks up consistently is that a lot of voters are transactional--promise them government largesse, they say YAY regardless of the long term effects. Promise them cheaper crap to buy, "Yay", more jobs "Yay", etc.
They vote solely in view of themselves and perhaps their family and whether on the balance they are getting something from gov. Otherwise they don't care about a lot of issues that don't affect them.

Mitt had a vision of the GOP that did not include the whims of the population at large.

He didn't need some hillbilly or trailer trash to come try to direct the country since they were more suited to following orders and doing what they were told.

He turns 180 degrees and he's standing with Linda Hamilton and Arnold, with James Camron in the background as if they're on the T2 set. He turns 180 degrees and he's standing with Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamil exactly as they looked in the first trilogy as if they're on the Star Wars set. He keeps doing this for several scenes and it all looks perfect and seamless. I'm sure perfectionists and film students could find several glaring issues besides the obvious that these actors don't look like that anymore, but it looks really really good.
We're already in the territory of fake videos being almost perfectly convincing.

Vance was asked about the Suzie Wiles thing where it's claimed Vance is a conspiracy theorist. He said "I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true" and proceeded to reel off 3 theories: that Covid masking was bullshit, that Biden was mentally incompetent, and that the Biden DOJ/FBI were more interested in attacking enemies than doing their work.
He finished with "Conspiracy theories are facts that the media won't admit are true yet".

Well, in the US at least, it triggers a whole lot of power embedded in statutes since at least WWI such as being able to conscript if needed, mucho power to regulate wages and prices including rationing, augmented seizure powers for eminent domain for defense purposes, ability to expel or involuntarily detain persons with the enemy country's nationality without review, seizure power over enemy assets in this and other countries, and so on.
There is a reason Congress has not declared war since WWII and Truman in the Korean Conflict considered it briefly then decided against it, in part, because Congress was well aware of executive power increase during war.

The draft was a thing until 1973 without a declaration of war.
It is also very important in terms of international law. Carter briefly considered asking for a declaration of war against Iran because, the theory goes, the Iranian government would be forced to turn the hostages over to a third country for transport back home. (That Iran gave the Vienna Convention of 1961 short shrift to begin with was probably why this idea never went forward.)

Ehhhhnt. You're equivocating.
You're saying obvious things, but your relationship confuses the levels and what an Official Declaration of War is.
Actions that occur in war and are "tantamount to war" are not "official declarations" (see the "police actions" of Korea and Viet Nam). Congress can protect its power to declare war by using its power to either confirm the actions of the executive within 90 days of warlike hostilities. If the President does not get his official Declaration of War, within 60 days, he must cease by the War Powers act.

I certainly did not know anyone in the family, but the main "sign" was in photos of Nick from childhood.
Sanpaku Eyes. In nearly all but one photo I saw of him, and then he's sneering. The poor daughter who found them looks stoned in a lot of photos. The only child who ever looked normal is the son who moved to Texas...he and his wife look normal in the family photos. His smile reaches his eyes.
Since Nick was in rehab from age 15yrs, and admitted to smoking pot at age 14yrs (and buying a hooker with his parent's $)...I think those were signs as well.
Pot exacerbates schizophrenia when a young teen starts smoking it. If I had to take a wild diagnostic guess, I think that is at least part of his problem, and was made 1000% worse with drug addiction and parental wealth and coddling.

What he did accomplish is he reframed the discussion the he is making progress in fixing the disastrous Biden years and has laid the ground work a vibrant economy going forward. Maintaining this framing and having it heard unfiltered by the electorate over the next 12 months is where the battle will be.
The Democrats and the Democrat media are going to pull out all the stops to reframe the reframe as an utter failure. Who wins the tussle likely wins the midterms. If the Democrats win Trump gets impeached, likely multiple times and his agenda mostly gets trashed.

Conscription is actually an executive power IF a war is declared whether Congress authorizes it or not. Dating back to the American Revolution according to court decisions. Same with taking civilian goods and giving an IOU in return.

And now that sad tale is dropping like lightning-struck dirigible in the face of reality.
Posted by: mrp at December 18, 2025 01:29 PM (rj6Yv)
The real reporting on inflation happened only when Trump got into office. Then people were allowed to know that the prices had gone up ~20% under Biden--not that the Demedia put it that way.
Then it was "Trump said he'd bring prices down--what's he doing for that? People are hurting (from the increase that "wasn't happening" throughout the Biden term).

"Affordability" wouldn't even be a topic if the Biden administration hadn't been lying about inflation not happening, or small and temporary.
Also if the "Inflation Reduction Artifice" had actually been about reducing inflation.

The Morning Rant: Inflation!
Price pressures may be cooling across the economy, with the 12‑month inflation rate slowing sharply in November. The annual inflation rate eased to 2.7 percent last month—the lowest level since July—from 3 percent in September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists had penciled in a reading of 3.1 percent. The core consumer price index (CPI), which excludes volatile energy and food prices due to their noisy signals, also cooled to 2.6 percent from 3 percent in September. This represented the lowest reading since March 2021.
But even better than moderating inflation is this little nugget of pure golden deliciousness!
Tariff-sensitive items were little changed over the past 12 months. The apparel index is up 0.2 percent year over year, while the new-vehicle index has risen 0.6 percent over the 12 months ending in November. Additionally, on an annualized basis, appliances have increased by 0.5 percent, smartphones have declined by 9.4 percent, and footwear has dipped by 0.1 percent.
And weren't we told by our betters that tariffs are inflationary? You know, those 26-year-old "journalists" who took one economics class in college and never attended because it was at 8:00AM and they were usually still high! The "journalists" and pundits confidently claimed that a one-time increase in the wholesale price of tariffed products would continue to push their prices up indefinitely. Of course no modern country has ever shifted revenue to tariffs so quickly, and the data simply aren't there to make anything more than a wild-assed-guess! But they did it anyway, and it looks like they were just a little bit off in their predictions. Nobody knows whether a tariff-based economy will function as well as President Trump has proclaimed, but the early indications are good, and the naysayers are being proven incorrect. Revenue from the tariffs is robust, which is also proving the President correct. Last night's presidential address is an excellent start to the administration's focus on communicated to the American people what the President is doing to address inflation, employment, the return of manufacturing to America, the vanishing possibility of home ownership for many young Americans, and other economic challenges that we face. I hope he keeps hammering home his efforts to redirect our economy toward Americans, and away from illegals, and the leeches of Europe. It is long past time!

Tariffs barely have an effect on inflation, but if it's anything, it's deflationary.
It increases some prices which decreases demand which slows the flow of money, having fewer dollars chasing the same number of goods.
But it's small.
What really affects inflation is the Fed's power to increase the money supply, specifically M2.

By trying to get rid of all oil and gas related energy production, Europe have locked themselves into a future of high priced energy forever, without being able to take any advantage of falling oil prices. Meanwhile, the US and a few other manufacturer friendly spots are poised to steal away all of their industrial manufacturers.

A simple one-dimensional test such as the CPI is not very instructional. I've never been a big fan of it regarding accuracy and there are many economists (a lot) who regard it as overstating inflation generally. I'm not sure what would be better, but breaking it down into different categories reduces the sample size and generally reduces accuracy (such as it is). You can flood the zone with indicators that will tell any story you want so again I would not read much into the CPI.
I am against tariffs because that is simply more and too much government interference in my life.

Not true actually. Short run yes, long run other factors come into play like technology changes, substitution effects, etc.
Perfect example are commodity food prices. Events happen to cause relative scarcity spikes and then prices recede.
Some prices are sticky--like real estate. In part because people have a loss preference avoidance aka sunk costs.

Actually it can and does. The old style of furniture manufacturing was metal springs, wood frame, and some sort of batting. High labor costs.
Some of the newer styles of a couch don't rely on those expensive materials because of the development of high density foam and thus less labor to produce so it can be sold for less.
What you are trying to do is compare a couch made by the same production techniques in the past or future. Says really nothing about other factors coming into play.
For the most part, where inflation hurts is not really material goods where you get technology improvements or substitution effects, but services and goods where they aren't making more of it, like land etc. The price of services is what is driving a lot of the loss in buying power--medical, education, insurance, etc. And that is related to cost of labor. We shall see if AI reduces service cost.
And energy is the one key good that government interference is probably driving inflation worsened by excise taxes.

As with almost all things, there are times when they are a great good for a nation, and times when they are not. It's important to know which, and getting locked on one side or the other can be disastrous.
While the US was growing, tarriffs were a vital tool leading to economic growth. Many manufactured goods could be brought in from England, etc which would be cheaper than those built in the US; but the tarriff equalized the cost and helped promote the growth of US based industrial manufacturing, which created a skilled workforce, which greatly grew the entire country.
The US allowed its manufacturing base to be hollowed out over the last 40 years or so, and its time to go through that process again.

For most of our history, the concern of the US was fair trade with other countries, not totally free trade. In addition, tariffs and excise taxes were the main source of government revenue until the income tax came along.
The whole free trade bullshit was an extension of the Marshall Plan after WWII where the US stood dominant and thus allowed other nations to essentially treat us unfairly so that they could gather enough surplus to rebuild (done to keep them from turning Commie). That became ossified as once a government policy is enacted, you get plenty of special interest groups paying good money to Congress critters, etc. to keep the racket going well past its sell by date.

None of these credentialed "economists" ever seem to understand the huge multiplier, both up and down, that energy costs have on an economy, and especially oil prices. Energy is a significant factor in every good manufactured and sold, and it can drive prices up as well as help them go down.

Aside from the price, petroleum makes virtually every product in civilization possible.

Government is like a Newtonian fluid. A short, sharp smack doesn't allow it time enough to respond, so it doesn't change shape much. However a slower, constant pressure allows it to flow around the pressure point. I view the special interests as entrained barnacles that inevitably encrust any long term government program.

Chuck Schumer voted “Yes” for the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act of 1986 which authorized the military to fire on drug smuggling boats. The House approved it 392-16, and the Senate approved it 97-2. Both houses of Congress that year were Democrat dominated. Funny how Democrats don't say much about this today. As I asked yesterday, why the change in attitude? What is causing, in this case, Democrats to defend drug runners?
A boat in international waters not running a national flag is categorized in international law the same way a pirate is. Such boats have absolutely no national or international protections, and so, by the very definition of the thing, you cannot commit a war crime against them. This is the UN talking, not the GOP. So much for that claim from the Democrats.

The “expert” talking heads on the stupid box outlets actually tried to claim inflation ought not be an electoral issue in 2024 because monetary inflation was worse in other countries, around the world.
That’s weapons grade stupid right there. Reserve currency status of the US dollar allows the government to export much of the monetary inflation, though not all, along with all those dollars.
But the real issue, the currency is no longer tied to actual economic output or prudent borrowing and spending. There’s a reason there are “advocates” for sex change operations for illegal aliens on death row as a fundamental human right - in a reasonably sane economic system, there simply isn’t enough wealth to do stupid shit.
Choices have to be made. Economic triage, if you will. Ordinarily putting up invaders in luxury hotels while the locals get raped, beheaded, and/or set on fire ….

The new 849 TR has been almost universally criticized for its weird design, but if you go to the Reddit forums (and other forums) they'll be a lot of very short "this is fire" with a fire emoji or some other non-specific praise. They're all bots or shills.

I think a lot of Army types were indifferent to socialism because the full time military basically is socialistic--food, housing, pay related to grade rather than productivity, etc.
But what is necessary for the military to function as a hierarchical organization is not suitable as a model for a free people. That is one of the reasons that people like Sam and John Adams were suspicious of a standing army. Navies on the other hand were fine because they posed much less threat to civilian government from a coup.

On tariffs or excise taxes, one has the power to avoid buying the items rather than paying the tax. No such luck on income tax or property taxes other than not to earn income or buy property in the first place. One affects incentives and freedom far more than the other.

I remember discussing the minimum wage with a lefty. I made the point that the law doesn't actually increase wages, it just removes jobs that pay below what the law mandates. So if a small business owner can make $15/hour hiring a new worker and the law says you have to pay at least $15/hour then that job just goes away.
And the answer was "well maybe there are some jobs no one should be doing"
Well, that's my answer for Karen McAwfl's Guatemalan nanny. Raise your own damn kid or get used to paying the rate an American would want.

I think Amazon will probably split sometime in the future between teh AWS cloud services and their retail properties. That is one of the factors that eventually leads all companies to become conglomerates is the search for high yield and when that high yield is no more in an area, then spin that part off.
Retail is a tough market with low profit margins and I am not sure that network effects can shield Amazon from that reality.

I made a similar argument three years ago (the only time I called into a local talk radio show the past few decades).
Since '96, our small city has quadrupled in population but the irresponsible City Councils have been busy with luxuries like "buying MOAR open space" (despite the fact that we're surrounded on three sides by millions of acres of National Forest and BLM lands) instead of, you know, things like basic services (infrastructure, police & fire, et. al).
There hasn't been a new fire station built since '96 and there's quite a shortage of police as many cannot afford to live here -- so someone got a ballot measure to raise the sales tax by 1% to fund the building of some more fire stations and paying more to hire police.
My argument then in 2022 was simple against those opposing the measure: "Real inflation at this time is something like 20% and you're opposed to a 1% increase in sales tax -- much of which will be payed by tourists -- that will result in an actual benefit to the community?"
The measure passed ...

Lowering interest rates increases the availability to existing money.
Small and medium businesses, the biggest generators of employment, have easier access to more money allowing expansion. Builders too which lowers the cost of a house giving the first time home buyer a double positive; lower price and lower payments.

They all do. One thing I've learned from living among the rich and powerful in my previous job is that they are an insanely insular group that views anyone outside the group as inferior and not worthy of ... well, anything. And it's not just the leftwing scumsuckers that think this way. The "conservatives"do too.

So, we finally get a CPI for November and it correlates perfectly with what we should have expected with the drop in gasoline prices.
The 4-month rolling avg. of the CPI has correlated directionally with the monthly closing price of gas futures since the run up to COVID. (see chart).
With RBOB Gasoline Futures trading @ $1.70 this morning. If that holds through year-end, we're looking at a Dec CPI (YoY) print of 2.3-2.4%. Coming into 2026 we can and should expect gas prices to further attenuate, the CPI to fall well below 2%, if not stall out completely, and wages to grow 3+% given the amount of investment happening.
Soon, copper and other tight supply commodities will be the driver of inflation, not gasoline, but we're not there yet.

It's a beautiful painting. I'd hang it.
>5 Minute History, 12 Beautiful Paintings from Russian Artist Lev Lagorio
Lev Lagorio (1828–1905) loved the way light plays with the beauty and drama of sea and mountains.
Known for his seascapes, Lagorio studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Influenced by the great marine artist Ivan Aivazovsky, Lagorio went on a sea voyage in 1845 aboard a Russian warship, where he studied the arrangement of ships—many of which feature in his work.
He spent eight years in Italy, his paintings of which earned him a professorship on returning to Russia.
In his later years, Lagorio painted coastal views of Finland and Norway.

>>Mexico’s legislature deserves praise for its stand against Beijing last week, approving a new law that will impose tariffs of up to 50% on Chinese imports. Backed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, the measure targets roughly $125 billion in annual trade and signals that Mexico is no longer willing to tolerate China’s long-running trade abuses.

It would appear Trump's tariff strategy is having some influence.

I thought the car I have came with 2 years free maintenance from the manufacturer. Turns out it’s 3 years. I was expecting to pay $500 for this upcoming service but the dealer was like naw dude it’s in the house.
$500 is pure theft by the dealer to begin with. It’s an oil change, cabin filter and new wiper blades. But hey now they’re stealing from the manufacturer not me. So I’m happy. 😃

Why would you trust anything that mass media says or for that matter, social media. Primary sources are always better--media cannot let go of the habit to try to form narratives, tropes, inversion, and other nasty tricks.
Same for anything that a politician says, a carny running a game on rubes is about as honest.
Long and short, in this age, go directly to the source material and watch/read it yourself unless you don't care about whether the reporting is honest or not.

USMCA is probably mort and Mexico knows that bilaterally if something is not done by Mexico being a transient Chinese intermediary, then its own industry will suffer.

He hits some sour notes now and again but I simply care personally very little about speeches, public communiques, etc. On average, Trump is the best communicator we have had since Reagan. Both of the Bushes were subpar and Nixon wasn't the greatest either.
I care more about results. Saw a new one today about more of the wall with Mexico having contracts let out to complete and river barriers on the Rio Grande being placed. Soon the question for President Vance will be whether we need a wall with our border on Canuckistan.

Back in the olden days, you had more media competition--often there were two papers duking it out in major cities or more, you had radio talk shows before massive syndication, etc.
Then came the consolidation into monster media companies where these publications reflected the interests of the suits in the executive suite and institutional investors rather than their captive 'consumers'.
Big Tech skipped the competition phase due to network effects and went straight to feeding noxious propaganda from the suits and institutional investors at the behest of government to the consumers.
Small is beautiful and why the idiotic idea of allowing mergers and acquisitions to produce big corporations inevitably produces bad side effects on society.

The Morning Report — 12/18/25
Good morning kids. First we have reports of wildfires with near hurricane force winds spreading in the high plains. Prayers for the safety of all of those affected as well as for the firefighting crews and first responders who will hopefully be able to get the situation under control as rapidly as possible.
Elsewhere in the news, we have two separate shootings on two of the nation's top campuses, Brown University and at MIT.
At Brown, two students were slain, one of them was evidently a prominent conservative on campus. And that the Providence RI PD cannot or will not confirm that the shooter shouted that popular phrase that all the hep cats dig
Meanwhile up in the Boston area, an MIT professor was shot and killed in his home. He taught nuclear science and engineering.
Are these incidents all connected somehow. Given the assassination of Charlie Kirk and several failed attempts on President Trump as well as the violent rhetoric and actual violence and acts of terrorism by the Left cheered on and encouraged by the Democrat propagandist media and the Democrats themselves not just in the Trump era but virtually throughout our history. Well anything is possible, and maybe the MIT Professor had links to Academia's bête noire The State of Israel or was targeted by the Chi-Coms or other foreign state actors? Meh, just spit-ballin' here. Don't cost nuthin'. . . And then of course, in the wake of the Islamic butchery against Jews celebrating Chanukah in Australia, this happened just the other night in the most Jewish neighborhood of America's and perhaps the world's most Jewish city outside of Israel itself.
A Jewish New Yorker described Tuesday how he was stabbed just centimeters from his heart by a hateful sicko — who made a chilling promise before lunging at him on a Brooklyn street. “I’m going to kill a Jew today,” the knife-wielding goon seethed before launching the antisemitic attack, said victim Elias Rosner, 35, in an interview with The Post on Wednesday. Rosner, a member of the Lubavitch Hasidic community in Crown Heights, had just left the temple on Tuesday afternoon when he came across the still-at-large attacker spewing antisemitic slurs. “I was waiting in a crowd of Jewish people and this guy started spouting stuff,” Rosner recalled. “I’m going to kill Jewish people, I’m going to kill a Jew today, I don’t give a f–k … We wouldn’t be in this mess if the Holocaust had happened,” the unhinged man ranted, according to Rosner.If the neighborhood of "Crown Heights" sounds somewhat familiar to some of you, it was the scene of a car accident back in 1991 involving a young black child who was hit by a car being driven by a Hassidic man. Sadly with tensions already (historically) running high between the long-standing Hassidic community and their black neighbors, Al Sharpton was on the scene faster than you can say "White Interlopers and Diamond Merchants" and a near full scale race riot and pogrom broke out resulting in the beating death, at the hands of a mob of black youths of one Yankel Rosenbaum, an orthodox Jewish student who was visiting the US from, of all places Australia!! For three straight days and nights Jewish homes and shops were attacked, and two weeks later, another man was killed by the mobs, who wasn't even Jewish but mistaken for one, having been in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Crown Heights pogrom and the sheer ineptitude of then mayor David Dinkins in allowing it to happen by handcuffing law enforcement, ultimately led to his ouster two years later and the temporary reprieve of the Big Apple from doom with the glory years of Rudy Giuliani. Yet, here we are 34 years on and the city has decided that a Muslim Communist is what NYC needs. Quite a few of Australia's Jews have decided that the land down under will send them six feet under so they have decided that enough is enough after witnessing Bondi Beach.
The man “looked very serious” — but Rosner refused to cower in the face of the ugly threats, he said. “I guess I was the one guy that had the bravery to look him in the eye,” he said. “So, he was waiting. He set a trap up for me a block ahead. He came around the corner and it just started happening.” Rosner was stabbed once in the chest, at the corner of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place around 4 p.m., by the madman, police said, adding the NYPD was investigating the attack as an antisemitic hate crime — on the third night of the Hanukkah Jewish holiday. The Brooklynite only narrowly escaped with his life — miraculously saved by his sweater, he said.. . Rosner said the attack was part of the uptick in antisemitic sentiment following Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, with the anti-Jewish hate trickling down to Big Apple neighborhoods, including on college campuses and in the subways.
The attack has left Sydney’s Jewish community shaken, with some members now considering emigrating to Israel. Chavi, a 27-year-old mother who was at the event with her baby, described using her body as a shield to protect her child during the attack. “I love Australia, I was born here, and I know [Israel] is in the Middle East… but we were just sitting ducks here,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald.And yet New York and far too many of its Jews by birth only just shoved a thermonuclear enema up its collective keister. But you better not complain!
British authorities sentenced a Dorset man to 18 months in jail for inciting hate and violence on X in the heated aftermath of the 2024 Southport stabbings that left three children dead and another 10 people injured. . . There's no denying the nasty nature of Yarwood's posts, sent to X before the identity of the killer — 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana — was known, but was widely misreported to have been a Muslim immigrant. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff, but his parents were evangelical immigrants from Rwanda. . . Even a veteran of intemperate tweets like myself would never post anything like Yarwood did, but still, 33 views? This guy barely incited more racial hatred than Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh in all three Lethal Weapon movies combined. See, that's funny because one is black and the other is white and they're basically family and race hardly comes up. I miss movies like those.But oh no, President Trump said nasty things about Rob Reiner. As CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar and posted on the usual outlets listed below, there are far more crucial things the President can and should be communicating to the American people than his personal animus towards the late Mr. Reiner. In any case as VIctor Davis Hanson notes, we are (are we?) in danger of heading towards a new dark age.
Contemporary Americans do not believe that our current civilization could self-destruct a third time in the West, followed by an impoverished and brutal Dark Age. But what caused these prior returns to tribalism and loss of science, technology, and the rule of law? Historians cite several causes of societal collapse—and today they are hauntingly familiar.Like people, societies age. Complacency sets in.
Meh, professor, in the immortal words of Nick Lowe, "You've got to be cruel to be kind!"

Trump is going to run again: In 2026 as if he's on the ticket. He may even hold a Convention.
This is to prevent the typical result of the party in power losing seats in the mid-terms, because the other side is more energized.
Trump is still running a high-wire act and much will depend on where we are in 12 months. If the economy is good and we aren't at war, Trump & Co will do well. I also expect Trump will have poured buckets of blood over the heads of many in opposition. The Ds are already shedding voters.
The key variable in US elections is Turnout and it's mostly ignored by Media. Standard polling misses the effects of Turnout, sometimes badly, and it's even more important in mid-terms.
From 2016 on, Trump's success has been built on getting White Non-college turnout and more recently increased turnout from many Hispanics and some Black men.
He's not running in 2028, except in support of JD (probably)

Wishing yours and the rest of the Horde well.
Last week, we married off the last pup. Great celebration.
For those who asked yesterday, just returned from several great days in Eilat. Was hoping for warmer weather but the heated pool in the villa we rented was great compensation.
The villa was - to quote Trump - "huge!" - big enough for most of our pups and grandpups. In spite of the news, we kept a good time going, especially for the grandpups.

Two recent events really seem to have unleashed the bloodthirsty demons from hell: 1. October 7 two years ago, 2. Charlie Kirk’s murder
In another age (not so long ago) those horrors would’ve elicited universal disgust and condemnation. Now… these two things seem to have raised the bloodlust of evil folks who in the past would’ve kept their mouths shut… instead now they celebrate openly. It’s unsettling and disgusting… maybe (unfortunately) the esteemed VDH has a point. Is the civilization just running out of steam?

Sure. They're really pretty similar. Criticizing your predecessor's failed policies is directly analogous to calling millions of citizens "fascists" who are destroying "the soul of the nation." And, doing that on an imposing stage lit like a bloodbath while flanked by armed Marines as an unveiled threat to those "fascists" is very similar to a guy delivering his remarks at a desk, flanked by Christmas trees and garlands.

So, I'm not too ruffled about his departure, or whomever they plug in to that spot to tilt at the griftmill next.

We all know he can be warm, funny, engaging.
So why would he deliver some fantastic news for the military, something that could be really heartwarming, in that tone?
I posit 2 things:
1) Trump has always redirected fire at himself, so that other's don't get attacked.
2) He wanted everyone to focus on the tone.
Because:
1) now they are not going to smear the military as "being bought off" by Trump; or "falling for a silly gimmick, 1776." Or worse, "why not the minorities, they're suffering too?"
2) They will ignore the other, just as important part: He has laid out his agenda for the next 11 months; more freedom, more prosperity, more America.
And the Dems are going to focus on the tone, how he's wrong, how bad things are.
While falling into Step 1: Get the Dems on the wrong side of the issue.
The issue is "who is going to fix this?"

Twenty-five percent said the number should not be changed, even though establishment outlets rarely described the actual inflow of legalized migrants each year.
35% decreased or zeroed
43% increased or remain the same
That's depressing. Decreased or zeroed should be at least 75% (since we know 25% of the population is retarded).
What happened to the remaining 22%? No opinion?
And if this is an accurate poll of the feelings of this country, then we are nowhere near getting to the point we need to be to deport and ban all Muslims and Third Worlders and putting a 10-20 year moratorium on all immigration.
All Muslims and Third Worlders needed to be deported yesterday. And despite the destruction they have caused this country over the past 25 years, people still don't get it.

This is absolutely insane:
Inflation in the US just unexpectedly posted one of the largest monthly declines since 2023.
While a +10 basis point increase in inflation was expected, it actually FELL by -40 basis points.
This puts Core CPI inflation in the US at its lowest level since March 2021.
According to this data, inflation is now at its closest point to the Fed's 2% target since the pandemic.

It's going to be a JD/Rubio ticket with JD in the big seat.
There really is no other alternatives to this ticket, if it's not then Trump and MAGA have failed.

You can bet that people that just swam across the Rio Grande and have a very long list of "family" members who are looking for an anchor were counted in the survey.
You can't have 50 million illegal aliens and maybe that number again who are present legally and want to have tribal reunification in the US and expect there to be this political groundswell to remove them.

My understanding is that he was a relatively low level employee in the Secret Service. He may have just found out that it is a lot harder to actually make huge changes in a corrupt agency than it is to say you will on a podcast. Some people talk, some people do.

The Betrayal of the West
There is no number that will convince the "leaders", because the "leaders" of western nations for at least the past 25 years are on the side of Islam conquering the West.
The 09/11/2001 Islamic terrorist attack should have been enough. But immediately every "leader" in the West declared Islam a "religion of peace" and bent over backwards to accommodate Muslims. More Islamic terrorist attacks in London in 2005 and same response. 20 years later, London has been conquered by Islam. 24 years after 09/11/2001, NYC has been conquered by Islam.
Victor Davis Hanson is a bit late. The Dark Ages have already returned.

Not that it will happen but-
Instead of running away from Australian muslim violence,
I think a strong "backlash" of random, deadly violence against the muslim community by the Jewish community might prove instructive.
You always have to punch the bully in the nose or there will never be an end to his bullying.
Not that I'm promoting or encouraging this action because in theory the Australian have a western, civilized society with clear laws.
My preference is that Australian law enforcement go after the muslim community in, at a minimum, hammer and tongs in the same way the US gov't went after the KKK and mafia.
The first job of gov't is to protect the citizens of their country, if they won't then what is the alternative?

It was anti-dispatchable energy policies.
They wrecked coal and nukes and were on the path to destruction with nat gas and the corresponding transportation infrastructure needed to move all of thermal generation fuel.
We still have retards in Texas (mostly the population) who don't understand that energy generation requires water, and south east Texas has plenty of it and is not willing to share/sell to mid-west Texas where the fuel and generation needs to take place.
Its like people need to live in the Dark Ages and die by the tens of millions from plague, famine and exposure before a desire to industrialize returns. A hundred years ago, people would war over bringing in the railroad or highway into their community - they knew what benefits it would bring. Now protest groups will fire-bomb the offices of anyone wishing to do the same.

"Trump has paralyzed Venezuela’s “black market” oil trade. Maduro could face 700% inflation next year
The U.S. oil blockade of Venezuela, announced by President Donald Trump, threatens to dismantle the country’s black-market oil trade, The Wall Street Journal reports.
According to U.S. officials, this trade provides income to President Nicolás Maduro’s inner circle and supports the country’s fragile economy. For years, Venezuela has used the same scheme to bypass American sanctions as Russia and Iran.
The country exports oil through a “shadow fleet” of tankers, mainly delivering crude to Asia in exchange for cryptocurrency. (Chi-na??)
Strict sanctions are expected to sharply reduce foreign currency inflows, worsen food and fuel shortages in the import-dependent country, and inevitably accelerate inflation, which the IMF estimates could approach 700% next year."

The ticket doesn't matter. The failure of the MAGA movement was clear by 2018, and by then it was also clear that the failure was inevitable... the corruption is intractable.
I don't blame Trump or MAGA itself for this. They've done the best they can and exceeded any reasonable expectations. Certainly better than those Tea Party grifters ever did. MAGA just isn't the answer, and that's not their fault. It's the American right's fault at large, because they keep stubbornly insisting on asking the wrong question forever.

In 2016, the series Black and British: A Forgotten History, suggested that the Roman skeleton of a woman found at Beachy Head was from sub-Saharan Africa.
A plaque was erected to commemorate her heritage, which was later removed when a study suggested the woman was more likely to be from Cyprus, with a Mediterranean complexion.
Now a new DNA analysis of the skeleton by scientists at the Natural History Museum has shown that the woman originated from southern England and was white, with blonde hair and light eyes.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office rejected an immigration detainer by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a criminal illegal immigrant allegedly responsible for a felony hit-and-run that resulted in the death of an 11-year-old boy Thanksgiving morning.
"In response, Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a spokesperson for Newsom, told Fox News Digital "nothing prohibits the federal government from doing its job in this case," and "this driver needs to be held responsible for the tragic hit-and-run."

It is THE reason I supported him in 2016 and have supported him ever since.
I was borderline "NeverTrump" early in the 2016 campaign. I had been supporting Scott Walker early on, thinking he was the best for the position based on having to govern in a state full of leftists in Wisconsin. And I didn't take Donald Trump seriously. I thought he was just getting in to stir up trouble and hand the election to Hillary Clinton.
But when I saw Donald Trump state his positions on illegal aliens and building a wall and no one else in the GOP agreed with him or coopted his position, I knew they were all the same GOPe traitors that caused me to leave the GOP in 2006 after the Amnesty push by Bush 43 and McCain and Grahmnesty.

Top Story
- Micron says the memory shortage will get worse before it gets better, and also that it won't get better if they have anything to say about it. (Tom's Hardware)
Micron has two factories under construction in Idaho due to come on line in 2027, and another planned in New York to be operational in 2030.
Even with those three new factories churning out chips they only expect to meet half to two thirds of demand.
In the meantime, though, the company posted a revenue increase of 57% over last year, so they don't really care about you and your money, as indicated by them shutting down their Crucial consumer brand after nearly 30 years.
- And the second of my two new mini-PCs arrived today. I set up the first one last night - just plugged it in, turned it on, lied and told Windows I didn't have internet, and it works. It's pretty fast too, with none of the lag I get with my laptop.
Partly because the CPU is nearly twice as fast as the one in my laptop, partly because it's a clean install of Windows and doesn't have about 200 different applications installed yet. I'll fix that.
It really does have 64GB of RAM. 64GB of Crucial RAM, apparently, which is now a collectors item.
It's available for sale now on Minisforum's US store, but the price is about 70% higher than in Australia even after a 20% discount, so it's no bargain.
Update: Unnamed computer #2 is plugged in and working.
Tech News
- The Corsair MP700 Pro XT is the new fastest consumer SSD. (Tom's Hardware)
15GB per second and 3.3 million IOPS, the equivalent to a RAID array of 25,000 hard drives.
And it's not much more expensive than PCIe 4.0 models. Not because it's cheap, but because the price increases in flash memory have overwhelmed the price increment for the faster PCIe 5.0 controller.
- GitHub is not charging you $0.002 per minute for using your own hardware. (The Register)
They were planning to. Users were not impressed.
- Jared Isaacman has been confirmed by the Senate as the new administrator of NASA, where he will do... Stuff. (Politico)
Or more accurately, hand money to SpaceX for them to do stuff.
- AI-generated code contains 70% more bugs than human-generated, and is twice as likely to introduce security vulnerabilities. (The Register)
In my experience, if you can precisely specify the requirements, and the AI can crib from public code in another programming language, and you can run the code in a sandbox where break-ins can't happen, and you're willing to do the testing, and the job is the sort of annoying boilerplate work of plugging two things together that don't really want to be plugged together, AI is useful.
In other words, the stuff that you would dump on a junior team member so that one day they would be a senior team member.
But this kind of work wasn't much fun back when we didn't have AI, so I'm not sure we've made things worse.

Phillips pulling out of California has a knock-on effect in Washington state that's causing their Ferndale refinery to be shut down. This has a further knock-on effect because Oregon has no refineries and gets all its gasoline out of Washington State.
All of this is self-inflicted by stupidity in the state governments with regulations and hostile government environments that have made it impossible for these companies to operate. They wanted feudal states they got them. Worse is there's no easy way to replace that gasoline shortage from other sources domestically. They will be forced to buy it from China, India and Saudi Arabia and then have to ship it to the United States.
The prediction is gasoline prices in those three states will hit at least $8 a gallon by mid 2026 and only go up from there. Of course shortages will be part of the deal.

This is DDR4 not, 5:
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series DDR4 RAM (XMP) 64GB (2x32GB) 3600MT/s CL18-22-22-42
Granted that's a RGB version so it's a little more, but that kit is going for - $409.99
Another G.Skill Ripjaws kit, without the RGB - $379.99
That's more than I paid for my CPU last year this time.

The one Pixy linked to has two M.2 slots so you can add a second drive.
The second M.2 drive slot is also used to the Occulink port, though, as it slots in there.
But if you don't need to use an external GPU then you don't need that Occulink port and can just remove it and keep it if you ever need it.

MegaRoy used to do the zoomies across the bed when he was maybe younger than two. He's just too damned big to be effective at the parkor aspects of that. He'll run back and forth through the house breaking traction on the turns as we have hardwood floors.
Monster sounds like a damned pony galloping through when he does that. Sadly, he's 13 this year and slowing down at an alarming rate. Now it's a kinda high trot sometimes. When he wants midnight pets, it feels like copd standing with four fuzzy paws on my chest.

And here's the truth no one outside the building understands: often Trump himself doesn't know the decision in advance - and that is by design. In the old model, a policy chief like Colby - if he wasn't drowned out entirely by the bureaucratic circus - would brief the President only after the internal machinery had already decided which ideas were "viable." By the time anything reached the Oval Office, the cake was half-baked. Colby doesn't play that game. He encourages his team to present the President with multiple strategic pathways that share one overarching objective: put America first. Not metaphorically-literally. Then Trump chooses. And once the President selects a strategy, everything changes. In previous administrations, the moment a plan left the Oval Office, think tanks, senators, lobbyists, foreign service officials, intel chiefs, and a whole menagerie of Beltway fauna would descend on the National Security Council to tug at the plan, dilute it, reshape it, or kill it entirely. Every actor demanded their piece, their clause, their carve-out, their exception. Strategy, once released into the wild, rarely survived the stampede. That era is over. Trump doesn't ignore these players - he's altered significant strategies to accommodate strong objections from Congress and foreign allies - but he no longer allows them to hijack the core plan. They may comment. They may object. They may warn. They may advise. But they are no longer permitted to quietly amputate or rewrite the strategic heart before it beats. The wonks are in charge again - but not the conference-circuit wonks with PhDs, hotel per diems, and NATO summit panels funded by NGOs with agendas buried in their footnotes. Not the pseudo-experts who present PowerPoints about imaginary futures. The wonks in charge now are the ones who can take the boundless complexity of geopolitics and distill it down to America's core interests - those who can see the world not as a chessboard or a cocktail party but as a dynamic system requiring clarity, courage, and constant recalibration. And for the first time in decades, the Pentagon is beginning to operate according to that principle.
CWO3 Wayne Toth, a member of VFA-25, who shared his photos with us for this article, also gave us a little background on how the toilet-bomb was brought back to life: "I am the Gunner in now VFA-25. We had a change of command and decided to replicate it. This time on a brand new BLOCK III Super Hornet. One of my AO3s (AO3 Meagan Rickets) picked up a toilet from [the] marketplace, and I cut the steel, used Mk 76 lugs, made the tail assembly out of multiple dryer exhausts, and our Corrosion Control made the stickers." The change of command ceremony occurred on September 16 at Naval Air Station Lemoore where the historic toilet recreation was so proudly displayed. During the ceremony, Commander Mark "IROC" Tedrow, a former Blue Angel, took over as skipper of VFA-25 from Commander Kristen Hansen. It was a perfect place for a fun callback to the proud history of the squadron.Bonus answer to the question from last week: Why did the original toilet have an "E" on it? The "E" seen on the toilet denotes the unit has been awarded the Battle Effectiveness Award.

Lego sorting: When our boys were young, their Lego collection grew with every birthday and Christmas. They liked playing with them, but not so much cleaning them up. I remember once taking a snow shovel to their bedroom floor and dumping them in a large box. I did make an attempt to help them sort out and organize the collection, so you could find that three-dot red brick when you wanted it, but they ignored order, and I quickly gave it up. Somewhere in the catacombs is the whole pile of them.

I have had serial killers in my thoughts now and then, thanks to one in college. I can't read about them or watch TV about them because it would trigger the only nightmare I have had in my entire life.
My husband got to be part of it, lucky guy. He was traveling a lot and our first house did not have an alarm. A lot of elderly deaf neighbors who would not hear me if something happened to me and our boys.
In my dream satan got into bed with me (it was my husband after a trip to the loo). I started screaming at 0200 and he thought someone was in the room, too. Put his arm around me (satan in dream) and I fought him screaming.
He had to turn on the light to wake me, and his arm was shredded. Probably still has scars and I should look.
This was because subconsciously he saw me reading the paper about the bastard's execution, saw all the girl's photos he killed, and commented that I looked like some of them (our hair, long, parted in the middle). That's all it took for the Nightmare of My Life trigger screamfest.

Unfortunately, I have been reliably informed by the local authority that the TRex Christmas tree has no home here. I think that means a 39 foot tall outdoor version still has a chance, but I might be reading that wrong...

Looking for more information on a topic I 'binged' up a question I already know the answer to -
Can flare fittings be used for AC lines?
Most of the first two or three pages of hits came from webpages I never heard of before. All had verbose repetitive and similar articles including a signature statement -
You cannot use flare fittings for AC lines, they can only be used for DC lines.

I have a "pump fill'" scheduled first thing Friday morning, then we will be on our way out of town. Thankfully, this fill is just Heparin and saline to keep the pump flowing for the next 2 weeks; when we get back, I have another fill scheduled to start the new chemo medication which will hopefully do the trick and get the rest of these tumors knocked off.
The best Christmas present of all for me (well, us) is that if this pump thing works, there is a better than average chance that I could go 2-3 YEARS before we have to start worrying about this beast coming back! And who knows what advancements may be made in that time period?
It truly is a Christmas miracle, and we are so incredibly blessed to have access to such stellar medical care right in our own back yard. We are also blessed to have SO MANY people saying prayers on our behalf. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you.
We hope that everyone has the Merriest of Christmases/Happiest of Hanukahs/Festive of Festivuses/etc. with those they love.

The photos of the weirdos are what you'd expect sans little furry costumes. All homely if not ugly of both sexes. Or obese and ugly. Or misfits and weirdos. Dirty hair. Wearing flannel pj's. You know they stink to high heaven.
I'd heard of all black student unions, but this is too far. I'd yank my kid out of there faster than he could sew his furry costume and keep him in the basement til he saw the light.
Oh, some are called Bronies, or men that dress up like My Little Ponies. Their subculture is to create their thing or fursona. Gag. And to "create" little cartoons.
At this college there are 17 retards who had a camp fire, where one guy looks like he wants to melt himself like a marshmallow he's so stoned.The ugly girl next to him looks like she wants to help melt him. I just don't know, y'all...

December of 1982, I stayed at my girlfriends parent's house for 2 days. They had this new channel MTV. The 2 most memorable videos I watched were the Duran Duran video and...Kiss, with "I Love it Loud".
The Duran Duran vid was mesmerizing because it was new and current. The Kiss video caught my eye because rock radio had tried to pretend that Kiss didn't exist. Yes, I mean that. Kiss was a HUGE band in the mid-70s, BUT rock radio shortly thereafter tried to ignore them, as if they weren't pure enough to get airplay like Styx, REO, Journey, etc.
When I saw that Kiss video, I smiled--Kiss still lived.

It is, of course, marginal for 'home defense,' but way better than .22. It shoots flat, has long range for a pistol, is easy to aim, has essentially no recoil. Jokesters call it the "Poor man's five-seven." When fully loaded, it has a big-pistol feel, which can be good. Since it's mid-sized, it's not ideal for concealed carry. For a holster, it's still lighter than any medium caliber pistol -- but if you want to use a laser sight on the rail, you might have a hard time finding a holster to fit.
I'd given my sister a 686 revolver years ago, a .357 loaded with .38, and although I think of it as an excellent piece, it was just too much gun for her and she wouldn't take it out to practice. I'm looking forward to her shooting hell out of the .22 mag.

I can't believe they exist. If they were in junior high and drawing cartoons (without the little outfits and what they call sex), well, ok. But go outside and get some Vitamin D and wash your hair!
The article reads that all are under 25yrs, so maybe they will fade away without reproducing.

Death Rides a Horse (1967)
If the movie felt more like a "Spaghetti Western" (gritty, stylized, and high-energy music), this is likely it.
The Plot: A young man (Bill) witnesses the brutal murder of his family (including his mother and sister) as a child.
The Journey: He grows up and sets out on a horse across the desert to hunt down the five men responsible.
The Detail: He teams up with an older gunfighter (played by Lee Van Cleef) who has his own score to settle with the same gang.
It's an AI result, so your mileage may vary.

Natural meteoric influx is about 54 tons per day. Space junk is about 5% of that currently.
They are worried about aluminum, I see. Natural Al from meteors is a small fraction of the total, and the space junk Al injection already exceeds that previous natural infall.

Trump Speech Thread
I've been advising Trump to deliver a speech to the public, focused on the economy, for a while now.
Glad he's doing it.President Trump is set to address the nation in prime time Wednesday night, using a nationally televised speech to highlight major accomplishments over his first year back in office while offering a preview of the policy fights ahead as his administration presses deeper into America's "Golden Age." The address is scheduled for 9 p.m. Eastern, live from the White House. Trump announced the speech himself Tuesday in a post on Truth Social, writing, "My Fellow Americans: I will be giving an ADDRESS TO THE NATION tomorrow night, LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, at 9 P.M. EST." He added, "It has been a great year for our Country, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"

The Christmas Classic.Super bad. The mountain barely had snow and it was so lame we could not turn away.
Super bad cinema (Dan Ackroid, SNL).
I wish I could remember the #1 worst movie of all time of the guy and his horse we watched for almost 2hrs with no dialogue but riding across a desert.About 2yrs ago. My husband recalls music in the background. One of our sons wants to know so he can see it but we can't remember the name. It is part of our lives that vanished. When it was over we both said wth and cracked up. Retarded cinema.

The Venezuelans I knew were the sort to go to family get-togethers and have a good time, drink, dance, laugh and goof off. Sadly, the Colombians I knew would go to family get-togethers and not drink the jug wine because it was declasse.
Venezuela is in such a state now because of Maduro and his death squads. I spit on Sean Penn for being so performatively sad at Chavez' state funeral, but the Venezuelans I knew were decent people.

New Mexico is still operating under the delusion that they're going to be able to build enough solar panels to replace oil and gas when it comes to electrical generation. This is bizarre cuz the only thing propping up the state budget is the oil and gas coming out of the Permian basin. If they had their way they'd get rid of it tomorrow. Another fantasy is the Communists stay think they're going to get 40% of all new cars sold in 2026 to be electric cars. That is hilarious

Then a commenter on the online version posted that he was bothered that the people who couldn't identify what sex they were even with photographic examples for guidance were the ones making all the laws for us to live by.

My electricity rates went up 40% just this last February. They shut down our Meredosia coal plant years ago. I talked with our local Adams Electric Coop and he also lamented about all the coal we have, while BigGov was shutting down cheap (and clean) coal.
BigGov wasted big money on burying "carbon" tech, but that never came to fruition, just money to "important people" I assume.

Germany's manufacturing, chemical production, and plastics industries all use a huge amount of power, and none of them can make money because of energy costs. German industrial production declined 4% in the month of September alone. They all will have to abandon Germany.

2) Look like total fools, lose tuition
I think they will choose #2 based on looking at the President of Brown and the AG of RI. Plus the trans looking ASL nitwit.
I will add:
3) Be sued by every family whose child was killed, injured or traumatized. Will they choose this one due to not doing #1?

I have a "pump fill'" scheduled first thing Friday morning, then we will be on our way out of town. Thankfully, this fill is just Heparin and saline to keep the pump flowing for the next 2 weeks; when we get back, I have another fill scheduled to start the new chemo medication which will hopefully do the trick and get the rest of these tumors knocked off.
The best Christmas present of all for me (well, us) is that if this pump thing works, there is a better than average chance that I could go 2-3 YEARS before we have to start worrying about this beast coming back! And who knows what advancements may be made in that time period?
It truly is a Christmas miracle, and we are so incredibly blessed to have access to such stellar medical care right in our own back yard. We are also blessed to have SO MANY people saying prayers on our behalf. We are truly grateful for each and every one of you.
We hope that everyone has the Merriest of Christmases/Happiest of Hanukahs/Festive of Festivuses/etc. with those they love.

And their rookie QB wants to somehow believe the future is all about him. He today came out and said he wants to talk to all of the head coaching candidates the team interviews. He's played in all 14 of their games, and has only 11 passing touchdowns and his completion percentage is under 60%. He's been sacked 49 teams.
Perhaps the Titans should be interviewing replacement QB candidates as well.

Dan is the best partner I could’ve asked for in helping restore this FBI. He brought critical reforms to make the organization more efficient, led the successful Summer Heat op, served as the people’s voice for transparency, and delivered major breakthroughs in long unsolved cases like the pipe bomb investigation. And that’s only a small part of the work he went about every single day delivering for America.

What, exactly, is the strategy with Venezuela?
We shut down their economy and....then what?

Send Maduro and his gang to a happy place.
Settle debts. Insure (by the military, not bureaucrats) honest elections. Have dinner with the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro.

The group running Venezuela is *not* anything like a popular government - it is a vast criminal organization that hangs onto control through brutality and fear. (Last election, squashed by Maduro, proved that.). BUT to keep this going requires a huge amount of cash; Madura has to pay off all the cartels whose shipments he’s supposed to protect; he has to pay off his own army and militias so they don’t revolt; he has kick some money back to the Chinese, the Russians, and the Iranians; and he has to pay the gangs of thugs inside Venezuela that he uses for street level control.
It all demands a huge amount of cash, each month - cut off the regimes cash, you cut off all of the support it needs to stay alive.

After Months of Rumors and Speculation, Dan Bongino Announces He's Leaving the FBI
Dan BonginoTrump says he wants to go back to his show. I figure that's probably right. He had a great job. He did a turn of service. He figures he's done enough and it's time to go back to his permanent job. And he might have decided he doesn't like the constant denigration and the claims he's covering up for Epstein and now for the innocent patsy Tyler Robinson, and has decided, "Enough of this bullshit." Working for less money than you're used to is one thing, seeing your reputation permanently damaged by conspiracy-addled blowhards is another thing.
@FBIDDBongino 31m I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January.
I want to thank President Trump, AG Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose.
Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
🚨 DAN BONGINO is LEAVING the FBI

Bongino was always bursting to reveal something horrific, but couldn't because something else was about to come out, or his sources would be traceable, or the investigation would be revealed and everyone would run around burning the remaining evidence.
It seems to me he's just sickened by the depth and extent of the rot and he's kind of... walking away in despair.

Did he? How do we know this? Anyone who has worked in a bureaucracy knows that rot primarily exists because dealing with it is too much work. Even tenured teachers (especially ones who deserve to be fired) can be if an administrator puts some effort into it. But that would take sustained work.
The vast majority of federal workers get stellar reviews year after year. If there's just 'so much rot' at the DOJ/FBI, then start putting people through the very annoying process of getting them fired. Some will quit, others will end up in rubber rooms getting paid to do nothing. But you can have an effect. It's just not the sort of thing a media talking head is likely to have the patience for.

Anyway, reforming the FBI is an enormous task. Not just structural reform but wholesale personnel replacement. It's too much for just Patel and Bongino.
The worst of it goes all the way back to when Clinton fired William Sessions and we got cover-ups of Vince Foster, the John Doe no 2 OKC, TWA 800, and on and on up to Hillary's bathroom email server and Russiagate and Hunter Biden's laptop.
We need to create an entire new federal investigative agency to investigate the FBI and CIA and go through all of these cover-ups and find out what happened and who was responsible.

Try that with the federal government and their unions. You will drive yourself insane trying to fire the first dozen employees you come across that need to be fired. You will be tied up 24/7 with all sorts of HR bull$hit record keeping and jumping through the hoops you need to do to fire anyone. Plus you will not be able to do your primary job while you are doing all of that work.
And even if you manage to get them fired, which I did a couple of times the courts and MSPB will just order you to hire them back with back pay and "protected" status. Been there and did that.

Yeah, but why do the opinions of media types or randos in comments sections matter? Either the guy is trying to deal with bureaucratic issues (literally the least 'sexy' or media friendly activity ever) or he'd pulling an LBJ and spending all of his time seeing what people are saying about him like a dweeb.

Shooting is more wild. It seems the guy's son was being attacked. So he went to help his son move out. Story says the family lawyer states campus security escorted them to the dorm. The shooting happened outside the residence hall and Bard hit two of the alleged attackers, one of whom died.

It's really not that simple. Yes, there were commies and "subversives" in this country stirring up shite, but the question is, were they doing anything illegal?
How many of those "subversives" were scooped up by the Fibbers, not for illegal activity, but for being a pain in the arse to the powers that be in DC?

Israel is the prime example. Your basic choice is that Israel exists (meaning it defends itself), or it doesn't - meaning the fulfillment of "River to the Sea". If you refuse to see the US's interest in that issue, you're totally ignoring reality. You may be on one side or the other of that issue, but to say the US has NO interest - - choosing to be blind.

Sometimes things really are simple. Super simple as in “not complicated at all.”
That doesn’t make it easy. Were they doing anything illegal? Fuckin’ A right they were. The loss of China, Korea, millions of people behind the Iron Curtain, Cuba, Viet Nam … most of that was directly attributed to communist fuckheads in the State Department and other places.

Shock: Somali Scammer Caught Perpetrating Another Somali Scam
The moment that Tom Homan announced he was investigating Ilhan "Omar" Nur's lifetime of defrauding the US immigration system, she suddenly had an outrage to "bitch" about, as Trump said.
When people began asking about her immigration fraud and marrying her fucking gay brother, she claimed her son had been pulled over by ICE and almost kidnapped in an attempt to intimidate her!!!Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons is flatly rejecting Rep. Ilhan Omar's claim that ICE agents pulled over her son after a routine trip to Target, calling the allegation baseless and unsupported by any agency record. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat and longtime critic of federal immigration enforcement, said in a recent interview that her son was stopped by ICE and released only after producing his passport. When the interviewer pressed her on the unusual detail that her son allegedly had a passport on him while shopping, Omar doubled down on the story. Lyons, however, told Fox News Digital that ICE has "absolutely zero record" of any officers or agents stopping Omar's son. He said it "speaks volumes" that the congresswoman is making the accusation without evidence and suggested the claim is part of a broader effort to vilify ICE as the Trump administration ramps up deportations. Omar's office has refused to retreat. Spokeswoman Jacklyn Rogers said the congresswoman is standing by her account, alleging that Omar's son and others were racially profiled and forced to prove their citizenship. Rogers accused ICE of operating as a "rogue agency" and claimed it routinely fails to maintain accurate records, adding that Omar's office would welcome the chance to review any documentation ICE says it has. The dispute comes as Omar continues to defend Somali migrants in Minnesota amid a series of massive fraud cases tied to state and federal aid programs. One of the most prominent cases involves Feeding Our Future, a Minneapolis-area nonprofit run by Somali migrants that prosecutors say siphoned roughly $250 million from child nutrition programs.And speaking of this Somali whore marrying her gay brother: "Yes, Ilhan Omar married her brother."
I'm talking about Omar's marriage to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Trump may have garbled the specifics, but he got the upshot of the story right. Omar's family brought Elmi over from London around 2002 to try to extract him from a gay lifestyle, and that is the context in which the congresswoman tied the knot with him.Miranda Divine previously reported that a highly-incurious FBI refused to investigate this crime and let the, get this, statute of limitations run.
... A reader had directed me to a post on a message board called SomaliSpot, which has since been removed from the Internet. It asserted that Omar had married her husband, Ahmed Hirsi--the father of her children--in 2002, but that she had then married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, in 2009. Her campaign website advertised Hirsi as her husband and made no mention of Elmi. I checked out the SomaliSpot story online through the Minnesota Official Marriage System. Inputting Omar's name, I found that the two marriages cited in the SomaliSpot post checked out as indicated. The site reflected Omar's 2002 marriage to her advertised husband, Ahmed Aden (later Ahmed Hirsi), and her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi identified in the SomaliSpot post as Omar's brother. As it turned out, Omar and Hirsi had only applied for a marriage license in 2002 but never followed through with a legal marriage. Citing the SomaliSpot post and online marriage information, I contacted Omar's campaign and got a response from criminal defense attorney Jean Brandl. I had seen her in court representing one of the six Somali defendants who pleaded guilty in the 2016 ISIS terrorism case. The attorney's message was a classic nonresponse response that called me a bigot and said I should direct further questions to her rather than the campaign spokesman I had called. She seemed to think she could scare me off. When I directed my further questions to her as she had instructed, she ignored me. I wrote about all this on Power Line. My post slowly generated a huge controversy that the Minnesota Star Tribune eventually covered. I got a call from then-Star Tribune reporter Patrick Coolican, who told me that he was writing the story and that the campaign denied that Elmi is Omar's brother. I asked, "Who do they say he is?" He responded: "They won't tell me." ...
Their story proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Omar married her brother for some fraudulent purpose. Coolican and Montemayor all but begged Omar for an interview and access to her family to discuss the issue. She repaid them with the same kind of treatment I had received in 2016. These left-wing reporters for a left-wing newspaper begged Omar for a response, but they got the same one I had in 2016. They were bigots, too. "Whether by colluding with right-wing outlets to go after Muslim elected officials or hounding family members, legitimate media outlets have a responsibility not to fan the flames of hate," her spokesman told the paper. "Continuing to do so is not only demeaning to Ilhan, but to her entire family." Between 2016 and 2019, reporters including Preya Samsundar at Minnesota's Alpha News and David Steinberg at PJ Media also added a trove of information supporting the proposition that Omar had married her brother in 2009. In 2019, I published Steinberg's illustrated summary, "Tying up loose threads in the curious case," on Power Line. It lays out in meticulous detail what several Somali sources relayed both to him and to me, as well as social media posts that make it clear Elmi is Omar's brother. Omar entered the United States in 1995 as a fraudulent member of the Omar family, which was granted asylum in the United States and settled in Arlington, Va., along with her sister Sahra and her father Nur Said. The rest of Omar's genetic family, the Elmi family--a sister, Leila, and Mohamed and Ahmed--was granted asylum in the United Kingdom. Social media posts throughout the years show Omar and her siblings in both the United States and the United Kingdom referring to each other, and to their father, as such. It is not difficult to track.
Only hours after Minnesota GOP operative Anton Lazarro posted online DNA evidence that allegedly shows Rep. Ilhan Omar was once married to her brother, the FBI busted him. The test results stated there is a 99.999998 percent chance that Omar and her second husband, Ahmed Elmi, now her ex-husband, are siblings, according to an analysis by British company Endeavor DNA Laboratories. But before Lazarro could share the results with the media, he was arrested Thursday on underage sex-trafficking charges and jailed pending a court hearing Monday. His website, IlhanOmarDNA.com, containing the DNA test results, was online briefly before it was taken down Wednesday. Lazarro and a group of conservative donors had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on three continents hiring private investigators to track down Elmi Omar's ex-husband in the UK and procure his DNA from a drinking straw. Omar's DNA, Lazarro's website claimed, was extracted from saliva on a cigarette butt she was photographed smoking. Omar previously has denied Elmi is her brother, calling the claim "absolutely false," "absurd" and "offensive." Special Agent Joy Hess, from the FBI's Twin Cities field office, which investigated allegations that Omar married her brother Elmi to get around US immigration laws, says the "statute of limitations" had run out on the case. In a recorded conversation with an associate of Lazarro, posted on his website Wednesday, Hess also said the FBI could not pursue the case because Omar's ex-husband Elmi had moved overseas. "The statute of limitations is over," she said. "According to the US Attorney's office The Statute of Limitations is not something we can overcome in that matter ... The individual in question left the country so there's nothing to [do]."Lot of that going round.

Given that the people abusing this aren't randos hoping no one noticed their drug habit decades ago, a person who wanted a movement that was half political movement and half street paramilitary could easily gain popularity murdering swamp creatures who get off like this. To some extent that is what got Mussolini and Hitler into power.

Or, alternatively, Omar and her son could provide any documentation they say they have.

Same.
Fraud usually tolls the statute of limitations.
But, the agent was doing more than that, by saying there was fraud but that they couldn't pursue it, she set the date when the limitations clock did begin to run.

Following her undergraduate studies, Omar served as a policy fellow at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Her professional career began as a community nutrition educator at the University of Minnesota, a role she held from 2006 to 2009 in the Greater Minneapolis–Saint Paul area. She also worked as a child nutrition outreach coordinator with the Minnesota Department of Education between 2012 and 2013.
She taught community nutrition and worked in child nutrition in Minneapolis.
Seven years later her community commits the probably the biggest government fraud case in history by child nutrition outreach.
Interesting.

ICE doesn't "maintain accurate records" and there's no record of this passport frisking. But, yes, Omar welcomes the chance to peruse these non-existent, inaccurate records because it will reveal... nothing. By definition.
Something tells me that Team Omar is being a tad disingenuous.

I keep reading that there's no SoL on immigration fraud, and that Ilhan has committed it in at least 2 ways -- 1, her identity (it's Nur, not Omar) and 2, in marrying her brother in order to get him enrolled residence and student status in America. And there's documentation and witnesses to prove both of these.
And after all that, I agree.

Cecil Says:
"At first, I commented that Trump was out of line for commenting on Rob Reiner's death. I was wrong. It was entirely appropriate. Trump was the center of Rob Reiner's universe. Reiner was wholly devoted to Donald Trump. He literally dedicated the last ten years of his life to Trump the way a Priest would dedicate his life to Christ. Every thought and action Reiner had for the past decade was passed through the lens of Trump. He tweeted over 20k times about Trump since 2016. His career, family, children, and friends fell by the wayside. Trump was his life, and Trump was right ot comment on his death. It would be disrespectful for him not to. TDS is real, and Rob Reiner died from it."

Rob Reiner was an active member of Team Coup.
He was working with people like Bill Kristol and Norm Eisen to oust Trump and have him tried for treason. Not any run of the mill lefty:

Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle helped Norm Eisen create one of his lawfare nonprofits, in the name of democracy of course.
Apparently Norm and Rob were scheduled to meet yesterday to discuss the 2026 elections.
Rob Reiner’s attacks on Trump were no doubt about character assassination which is a color revolution tactic that Norm employs often.

FLASHBACK: Long before today’s revelations, Rob Reiner was tied to Russiagate. He founded an NGO with Brennan and Clapper that pushed the collusion hoax against President Trump. Hollywood and intelligence insiders worked together.
Rob Reiner was not a bystander during Russiagate. In 2017, he founded the Committee to Investigate Russia, a political NGO that promoted the Russiagate hoax. Former CIA Director John Brennan and DNI James Clapper served on its advisory board, giving intelligence world credibility to a partisan effort. The group’s mission was clear: cripple President Trump and question the legitimacy of the 2016 election.

If the walls really did close in on Ilhan, I bet she would flee the country on a plane full of cash and gold before she'd sit in a courtroom and provide testimony.
Then she'd set up headquarters in Somalia and get to work as an official enemy of America.

There has been a pattern of speculation and miseducated guesswork undermining our intrepid efforts in the pursuit of the perhaps misunderstood alleged perpetrator of this expression of possible violence allegedly yelling or not yelling some audible shout before shooting and murdering two students.
In the interest of placating public anxiety FIB Portland is please to show a 15 second clip of a subject that may or may not be the alleged shooter, we can also confirm that this black-clad simian possibly masked, possibly of terrestrial origin can be confirmed at this time to be utilizing bipedal locomotion with a pattern of mobility that can be termed a gait.

Brown University Releases Blurry Photos of Second Person Seen "in Proximity" of Actual Suspect
This could very well be a complete rando who was a stranger to the chubby shooter.
Asking for information about this likely rando shows how lost and desperate the Brown crew is. I guess maybe this guy could have had a better look at the obese terrorist, but... he would still have seen Chubbs McMurder wearing a mask, something the left has normalized and even sacralized. Now most criminals wear masks. It used to be illegal to wear a mask in public, now it's a sacrament.The Providence Police Department has widened its search to include a person who was “in proximity” to the at-large Brown University gunman who murdered two students and wounded seven others on Saturday. “Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest,” the Rhode Island department wrote on X alongside several photos. “Anyone with information is urged to contact the tip line at 401-272-3121.” The individual featured in the newly released grainy surveillance camera captures is wearing a blue jacket with a green hood, dark pants and is holding what appears to be a light-colored satchel slung over their right shoulder. It appears to be the same person spotted in surveillance footage previously released by FBI Boston, which also shows the unidentified suspect walking down a suburban Providence street less than two hours before the shooting.So did something about the killer alarm him? Did he see a gun? I don't know. I guess it's possible he's even a confederate but unless I'm reading this wrong they were never seen speaking together or interacting.
In the footage, the suspect appears to look to his right and spot the backpack-wearing individual before breaking into a sprint down a side street at 2:16 p.m. Dec. 13.
As you probably know, online people found a "they/them" queer Palestinian refugee who has the same basic body type as the suspect. (In fairness, a lot of young "men" now have this same body type, unfortunately.)
I wouldn't think much about that, but when I went searching for him, I found that every link I tried to click on had been deleted.All references to Mustapha Kharbouch have been removed from Brown University’s website.
— Open Source Intel (@Osint613) December 16, 2025
Archived profiles described Mustapha as a queer Palestinian activist and a third generation Palestinian refugee before they were taken down.

Kharbouch… https://t.co/psT3e7iNLy pic.twitter.com/zFzafHiDom

Not that I recall
First I have known of it is new.
Chubby ghey Palestinian's website evaporation seems suspect.I figured he/she/it would know the blonde conservative girl who was shot and killed. Unsure if the Mo guy was collateral damage,as not a lot about him except his studies of biochemistry and something else brainy.
Then there's the clue that this class, which was targeted for some reason, is normally taught by a Jew, who was not there that day. Then the MIT Jew guy killed in Brookline,MA.
Have they studied the gaits?
Unfortunately we can ass-ume that the shooter does not meet the criteria of being a white KKK guy with an AK-47. It's always an AK-47 and white nationalist, Ace. The photos are always fuzzy.
Even Andy Griffith and Barney could do better in giving height, etc than what has been known on this case. Fuzzy shots that can't be cleared up with AI? I find this hard to believe, even for a blonde supermodel.
I want the ghey Palestinian to jog a bit to see if there's a match of the gait of the chubby guy sort of jogging. Then I will be satisfied.

However:
"According to an FBI agent's affidavit obtained by NPR, Rodriguez allegedly told officers, "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza" on the scene of the attack. He also allegedly chanted "free Palestine" after being detained by security, court documents read.
The affidavit also claimed the suspect held a red scarf, which one witness identified as a keffiyeh, a traditional headscarf closely associated with Palestinian history and resistance."

I always laugh at those scenes.
Even with AI it’s impossible to do what they’re doing, zooming in on a 480p screenshot from a surveillance camera and ‘enhancing’ a license plate to read the number.
If you zoom in that far on anything that small all you’re going to see are different shaded/colored squares called pixels, and even AI at that point is going to be guessing at what is there.
If you start at a 4K (2160p) image you’re luck will be better, but that’s not going to be common for surveillance because the file sizes are huge for continuous recorded video.

I remember in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial the prosecutor was trying to introduce "enhanced zoom" pictures to show something that would make Kyle look like he was lying, or something. Which meant that he zoomed up those illegible pixels, then used software to draw in what he wanted to be there. then turned it back into a "photo" and claimed it was Evidence.
The Judge didn't buy it.

You can still find stuff that he's written on the Wayback Machine. He's definitely nuts, and definitely an asshole, but I think some of the armchair sleuths are probably a little out over their skis about the guy.
The mass-deletion doesn't look good; but I think it's less that the guy's an actual person of interest and more a case of hyper-protectiveness of one of the Left's sacred-cow Persons of Intersectionality in response to the initial online speculation about him, which is now backfiring on them due to Streisand Effect.

That is a good question. I am told it definitely is not a diet rich in HFCS and highly processed carbs with the only fats and proteins being from seed oils and soy. I am also told that it is not because there is no exercise for the young men because health care is so expensive that families and schools can't risk them being injured. And it definitely has nothing to do with the meds most of them wind up on to deal with high calorie foods, low physical activity, and social exclusion or outright isolation in society.

Saw a clip on X that was a compilation of real newscasts showing various drawings of wanted criminals and then photos of the criminals after they were captured. Pretty funny.
One was literally a stick figure guy with huge eyes and spiked hair. Looked like something a 5 years old would draw. Damned if the photo of the actual criminal didn't look exactly like it.
Best was a female newscaster showing the drawing of a pudgy balding middle aged white guy with a mustache and goatee. She started laughing so hard she fell off her chair. Her coanchor was a pudgy balding middle aged white guy that looked exactly like the photo. He fell off his chair laughing too.

True, but there are tools and techniques that can take several blurry pictures of something from video and do what's called multi-frame super-resolution. The technique basically takes all of the data from the several frames, notes all of the subtle shifts of the area of interest (eg a license plate), does some inference and other wizardry, and comes up with a single image that's much clearer than the individual frames.
There's a law enforcement tool called Amped FIVE that does this process exactly.

Good grief. They gotta get the hate word inserted in the news. Gotta be sure the drones know to call-out as haters all people who say anything less than good things about Mooselmen.
I also find this sadly amusing in a way. The uneducated leftist youths and media people must not know the definition of '-phobe', and are uncertain what Islam is. Muslim is clearer for them as the name for that group of victims of white male Christian oppression.

I’m sure they have some apps that will help in certain situations but even then you need a really good source, preferably at least 1080p, to get anything useful.
We have satellites in orbit that can read license plates, so it’s definitely possible to get results in some cases, but nothing like Hollywood makes it out to be.

There were 30 people in that classroom when the shooting happened. 28 of them are still alive.
That's 28 eyewitnesses to the crime.
Not 1. Not 2. Not even 3.
28.
If the cops by now dont know EXACTLY what the shooter looks like, that proves they have not been intervieweing all the eyewitnesses, who (all combined) could have givena very detailed description.
Bt ti dont think tye have interviewed any eyewitnesses. Because it has never been mentioned in any of the news conferences.
And if nt -- why not?
Answer: because this isn't an investigation. It's an anti-investigation, and attempt to FAIL TO find the killer. Because politics.

The other fatal victim, an Uzbek engineer, was hit by a stray bullet (as were the other merely injured innocent bystanders in the wrong place at the wrong time).

Different use case. Speed cameras are usually high definition single frame pictures taken from a pole near ground level. They take several pictures at a known interval of time in between to demonstrate speed.
They are fantastic quality and don't need to use the method I described.

Well, let me ruin your day even more SpeakingOf... Current License Plate Recognition cameras/software can be mounted on a police car and can grab a license plate at 200 mph (Cop going 100 mph can grab a plate on a car going 100 mph in the other direction). This LPR system can passively scan every plate it can see while going through traffic. Add in the capability of current gen "AI" to run down database information and... well you do the math. Don't forget to pay that ticket and get a warrant out...

"Big Fani" Willis Takes the Stand in State Inquiry Into Her Corrupt Persecution of Trump
The Georgia Senate is probing irregularities and possible corruption in the "Big Fani" Willis persecution of Trump and various Trump supporters and their lawyers.
One aspect they're probing is whether "Big Fani" ran the investigation for her personal benefit, paying a huge and hugely inappropriate salary to her secret boyfriend Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq., who then used those taxpayer funds to take "Big Fani" around the world on luxury trips. When asked about this, Big Fani did something that will SHOOK you. (Yes, I said "shook," it's a young people thing, you don't understand me or my generation. Six-seven!) Big Fani, get this, covered up her embezzlement and self-dealing by playing -- brace yourselves for incoming Shook -- the race card.Fani Willis loses her damn mind when presented with documents showing how much money her office paid her lover Nathan Wade during the witch hunt against President Trump:

"Why don't you investigate how many times they called me the n word?" pic.twitter.com/luC6E5rORM
Fani Willis' behavior today was a disgrace -- and it showed exactly why she fought so hard to dodge accountability. That's why I led the Senate to create this committee and demand the truth. She weaponized her office to attack President Trump and Georgia conservatives, burning MILLIONS in taxpayer dollars on a political hit job for headlines. While our Attorney General and Secretary of State repeatedly failed to act, the Georgia Senate stepped up to demand answers and make sure this blatant abuse of power never happens again.

Posted by: Lady in Black at December 17, 2025 03:28 PM (qBdHI)
Ace, it's worse than that. This oozing slimecunt was talking about billable hours. That's something different than just usually "work" hours. It's not like punching a timeclock at Starbucks, where you get paid for being there even if nobody is there to buy coffee.
"Billable" hours are the time spent actually working directly on your client's matter. It's a lower number than, say, the entire time spent in the office. It's sorta the equivalent of the amount of time the Starbucks guy is actually serving customers.
I worked several 100-hour weeks (billable) back in the day. It's brutal, unhealthy, and unsustainable. It's basically every moment spent on work. 160 hours is not humanly possible.
The money he was paid was 100% getting kicked back to the slimecunt, either in cash or favors. This was a yuge fraud that should get them both disbarred, at least.

10-67 is the Philadelphia police code for a dead body, and a Philadelphia-based rapper referenced it in a song.
That got popular with some (non-NBA) basketball player, who invented the stupid hand gesture that kids do when they say it.
But those same kids also don't really care about the whole "dead body" thing, they just like to say it and do the hand gesture.

"As originally reported in August 2025 , a group of far-left human rights advocates sent a letter to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable the CCTV systems to protect “free expression and academic freedom across the country,” because “the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaign against US academic institutions.”
The motive for the request to disable CCTV systems as stated: “Right now these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists’ right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation.”
The letter from ‘Fight For The Future‘ (August, 2025) came after an earlier campaign by the same group seeking to stop the use of facial recognition cameras on college campuses. "

Speculation has, of course, been running rampant across the Internet as the manhunt is on its fifth day without any clear information released on the gunman. Some have pointed to the fact that Brown University wiped pages related to “Palestinian refugee” student Mustapha Kharbouch, but there is no clear evidence as to whether he was either the shooter or the second person of interest in the shooting. It is not clear if the authorities have made meaningful progress on the case at all.
One wonders why, if Mustapha Kharbouch isn't the shooter, he hasn't come forward to deny his involvement.

I recall some debate (somewhere on the internet) about whether if a lawyer is billing one client for his flight time to get to a case, can he simultaneously bill a second client if he works on their case on the plane.
Not sure what the real answer, but it probably happens a lot. Mechanics often get paid a certain number of hours at their standard rate for particular jobs, but they usually can get the job done in half that time.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is preparing to quit the Trump administration in the next few weeks, according to a report.
Bongino has started boxing up 'knick-knacks' from his office in Washington, DC, and sending them back to Florida, where he plans to return to work as a pro-Trump broadcaster ahead of the midterm elections, sources told The New York Times."

There's no "adventure" in either band--just boring-ass musicians playing boring-ass chords and zero overdrive or distortion in any of the guitars that seem to just meander all over the place.

Trump Announces Total Blockade On All Sanctioned Venezuelan Oil Tankers; Demands Venezuela Return "All Lands, Oil, and all other Assets they previously stole from us"
Note that only some of Venezuela's tankers have been sanctioned for carrying banned Iranian oil. So this is not a blockade of all of their oil tankers. It is nevertheless an escalation. The Walls, CNN might say, are Closing In on Maduro. Related: Gas is now under $2.75 per gallon in 23 states. The price of gas is now at a five year low -- it had previously been at a four year low. Now it's at its lowest level not just since covid, but since Trump's pre-covid final year of term one.
Americans are heading into Christmas with a financial break at the pump that hasn't been seen in years, as gas prices are projected to hit their lowest Christmas Day average since 2020 -- the final full year of President Trump's first term. The White House credits Trump's renewed focus on domestic energy production and regulatory restraint for the drop, arguing the contrast with the Biden years could not be clearer. "Thanks to President Trump, gas prices have hit a five-year low and Christmas Day gas prices are projected to fall to the lowest level since 2020," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Breitbart News, adding that driving down energy costs for families and businesses will remain a top priority as the administration looks ahead to the new year. Data from GasBuddy suggests the relief will be tangible. The firm estimates Americans will save more than $500 million on fuel during Christmas week compared to last year alone, a meaningful reprieve after years of elevated prices that hammered household budgets. The historical comparison underscores the shift. On Christmas Day 2020, gas averaged about $2.26 per gallon nationwide while Trump was still in office. Just one year later, with Joe Biden less than a year into his presidency, that figure had jumped to roughly $3.26 per gallon. Prices stayed stubbornly above $3 on Christmas Day throughout Biden's term, averaging $3.05 in 2022 and $3.10 in 2023. Those holiday figures came against the backdrop of a broader energy shock under Biden, who presided over the highest gas prices in U.S. history during the inflation surge that followed his policy reversals on drilling, pipelines, and energy investment. On June 14, 2022, the national average for regular unleaded hit $5.016 per gallon, according to AAA -- a number that became emblematic of the administration's broader economic troubles. Industry analysts point to improving fundamentals now driving prices lower, but the White House is quick to frame those gains as policy-driven. GasBuddy head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan said refinery maintenance has wrapped up, supplies are increasing, and seasonal demand is down, all of which are keeping prices in check. "Provided there are no surprises, holiday travelers should see pump prices that come in a bit lower than last Christmas," De Haan said, adding that early indicators suggest lower prices could extend into next year as GasBuddy prepares to release its 2026 fuel outlook in January. For the Trump administration, the timing matters. Lower gas prices during the holidays serve as a highly visible reminder of how energy policy ripples through the broader economy -- and a direct contrast to the Biden-era spikes that voters still remember. As millions of Americans hit the road to see family, the message from the White House is simple: energy dominance isn't an abstraction. It shows up on the receipt at the gas station.
Remember when Chuck Schumer said gas prices would "never go down"?

Actually, it's low because Trump worked to convince the Saudi's to keep pumping out high levels of oil to cut down Putin's income and also to reverse inflationary pressures in the US.
And it also gives Trump a free hand to take a swipe at Venezuela's oil production without having to face any big economic ramifications.
Interesting side note - China was buying a lot of Venezuela's oil at discount prices because it was sanctioned. So this move is also a backhanded swipe at China.

A further update on the imminent refinery closures effect on supply and prices. Turns out, from a video Ace posted from Black Conservative recently, while we can't bring gas in from other states due to our special blend, we CAN AND DO bring gas in by tanker from I think S. Korea and someplace else so the situation in not as dire as first thought.
That also explains how, in a captive market where they can charge almost any price, refineries are still closing due to economics.
Sorry for the long post.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's entirely possible -- even probable -- that the shot of the gas prices was created in post and they just put whatever looked good on the cards. I also doubt they were selling leaded gas in downtown LA in the mid-80s. CA didn't completely outlaw leaded gas until around 1990, it was phased out starting in the 1970s. I think it would be a rare sight in downtown LA in 1985.

IIRC, there were two major rounds of nationalization. The first in the 1970s, and then a second in the mid-2000s (?) under that bloated tick Chavez. It may be that second one that Trump is talking about. I don't think it was just American companies either; I think a bunch of Euro companies were there too.

I suspect the reason Trump is going after Venezuela is the National Security Strategy he announced about a week ago. The Numero Uno focus is no longer Europe, but the Western Hemisphere. Strong allies, stability, the neighborhood, that sort of thing. I bet Rubio will be doing a little "tour" of South and Central America to start implementing it. Maybe he'll even speak Spanish, haha.

Argentina has accepted the first of 24 ex Dutch F-16s into service. The order will be filled by the end of 2026.
Total worldwide active F-16 force stands at 2,879 aircraft with another 98 on order.
127 F-16s that were in storage have been converted by Boeing into QF-16s for US testing. So, the US has 5x as many drone F-16s as Venezuela bought.

The problem with dropping oil to $60/barrel is that a lot of the US production needs $70/barrel to pump, and around $50/bbl (estimates since no one is coming out to announce it) to do more exploration.
A good amount of the price needed to pump could be shaved by streamlining compliance and regulatory costs, and is something the EPA and Dept. Energy could do, should they feel a need to focus on that.

The Chicoms, Iran/Islamoterrorists, and even Rooskies have been using Venezuela has a hub for subverting us in our own backyard. Donnie Two Scoops has had enough.
The drug thing, fentanyl especially, is the Chicoms fucking with us to undermine and weaken us. Hell, a lot of antifa shit has ties with this. Maduro has been a willing stooge for all this Chicom etc fucking with us.

That IS possible, though it seems like a lot of effort. Although, on the other hand, as I said, I was driving past that building every day and I've never been able to figure out where that shot was taken from. Maybe it's a setup with a model?
---
I also doubt they were selling leaded gas in downtown LA in the mid-80s. CA didn't completely outlaw leaded gas until around 1990, it was phased out starting in the 1970s. I think it would be a rare sight in downtown LA in 1985.
----
Mid-1980s is when they started tooting their own horns about ending leaded gas sales. I don't remember when they stopped selling it, though. (I vaguely recall thinking, "Oh, yay, I get to pay more for gas now!")
Also, the "Nakatomi" building isn't in DTLA. I'm pretty sure it's Century City (Fox Plaza IRL), but it's got to be about 10 miles to the west.

CBD --- some history.
This was the result of small stations lobbying Trenton to try to keep big highway stations from putting them all out of business. It worked, because there were a lot of small stations in NJ at the time.
It is an interesting case where gov. tried to prevent the uber-capitalization that you have decried recently (I think it was you.) (You used a different word, but I just woke up and cooffee has not kicked in yet) This was the 70s when big stations with phone booth attendants were just starting to appear and the big oil companies were getting states to allow self serve. It mostly worked until NJ then turned around and made them dig up all their tanks and they went out of business anyway.

I think that the US has had its eye on Maduro for quite a while, and there has been a serious focus on Venezuela in the last 5-8 years. Maria Corina Machado, "that Venezuelan woman" was extracted by Zodiac while the US did an overflight with F-18s as a way to distract the Venezuelan navy.
I don't think this is a spur of the moment activity, I think it is something that Rubio et al are very interested in, for everything from Russians and Chinese being involved, to supporting the Cubans, and running Hamas training camps and infiltrating Cartel members to the US. If you start looking into who ran Smartmatic and what they admitted they had done before they got sold, that is an additional issue.

Venezuela has been covertly being a pain in the ass to the US and its interest since Chavez. And has been looted and impoverished caudillo style by Chavez and then Maduro to the tune of billions of dollars stashed away. So you get Smartmatic which was used to create software for Maduro's elections and then spread to teh US directly and by licensing to Dominion Voting Systems. Current high executives and one of its cofounders in Smartmatic is facing trial for criminal bribery and general fuckery with Philippine elections right now (FCPA charges among others).
"Smartmatic was founded more than two decades ago by a group of Venezuelans who found early success running elections while the late Hugo Chavez, a devotee of electronic voting, was in power. The company later expanded globally, providing voting machines and other technology to help carry out elections in 25 countries, from Argentina to Zambia."

You left out Maduro threatening to invade Guiana a few years ago and massing troops on the border.
From Dec. 2023,
"Venezuelan voters approved a government-supported referendum on Dec. 3 to back the country’s claim over Guyana’s Essequibo region, following ExxonMobil’s discovery of large quantities of oil in the area in 2015. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Venezuela’s government not to take action that would affect Guyana’s control over the territory, but Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has ordered state-owned companies to start exploration and exploitation of oil and gas deposits in the disputed area. What are Maduro’s main motivations for asserting control of the Essequibo? How should Guyana—and other international actors, including the United States—respond to the referendum and Venezuela’s moves to exploit resources there? Is Venezuela likely to invade Guyana, and how might the international community intervene if it does?"

The risk is high. If the weather turns on them out in the open sea, they're dead. And that happens a lot.
I had Grok spew out the numbers and what is known. Most of these go-fast runs are island hopping. They offload their cargo to other ships and planes there. Most runs are less than 200 nautical miles, with less than 50 NM (I'll use the capital abbreviation so as not to conflate with nanometers).
They do occasionally try some really long runs, but that is high risk vs reward. Good chance mother nature will get you there.

Biden's drawdown to make for cheaper oil prices in midterms damaged the facilities (they are vacated salt domes and prone to collapsing when not filled with fluid. They are not designed to act like gas tanks but rather to be filled up semipermanently in an emergency storage of petroleum for the US if supplies were cut off.
A lot of that oil auctioned went to Chinese buyers to boot which probably is why Biden and his cronies did it.

I would guess that the land he's talking about was land owned by American oil companies - in Venezuela, but I'm not sure. They seized billions of dollars worth of refineries, oil rigs, etc.

What I recall is that when Reagan replaced Carter, and when Trump replaced Obama, it took about 18 months for an economic boom to really get underway. I figure it will be about the same now. We're about 10 months in at this point.
The Covid shutdown looks like an op to wreck the first Trump economic recovery. I wonder what the Left is going to try this time.

Axios: Kamala Harris Is Leaning Towards Running Again in 2028;
Unnamed Democrats Are Attacking Gavin Newsom to Deny Him His Coronation
I'm a pessimist, so I never believe that the best possible outcome will come to pass just because I want it to. I never believed, for example, that Biden would wind up being the nominee in 2024, despite my intense desire that he be so.
But Kamala Harris is making me focus on what can be, unburdened by what has been. Maybe this dingbat ding-a-ling really will run again -- and maybe the most important cohort in the Democrat Party, black women, will give her the win. What, did you just fall out of the coconut tree?LOS ANGELES -- Kamala Harris isn't planning to go gentle into that good night. This week the former vice president made clear to potential 2028 rivals that she's working to keep another White House campaign viable. Why it matters: Despite worries from party leaders and donors that she can't win, Harris remains at or near the top of most 2028 Democratic primary polls. She also has strong support among Black voters -- the most critical voting bloc in most recent Democratic presidential primaries. Driving the news: After lying low the first part of this year and then embarking on a 2024-focused book tour, Harris made several moves this week that many Democrats see as the beginnings of a 2028 campaign. Her book tour expanded. Harris announced many more stops on her tour to promote "107 Days," her story of her short presidential campaign last year. Tour stops in early 2026 will include the historically critical primary state of South Carolina and cities with many Black voters, including Detroit, Jackson, Miss., Memphis, Tenn., and Montgomery, Ala. She appeared before the Democratic National Committee. Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, mingled with national party officials and state party chairs in Los Angeles this week during the DNC's winter meeting. At a reception Wednesday evening, DNC chair Ken Martin introduced Emhoff as the former second gentleman and quipped that he could be the future first gentleman, people who heard the remarks told Axios. Harris is rolling out new rhetoric. She railed against both parties and the status quo in a speech Friday to Democratic officials. Many in the room told Axios they were struck by how different Harris' remarks were from her Biden-defending message on the campaign trail last year. "Both parties have failed to hold the public's trust," Harris said. "Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people.... People are done with the status quo and they're ready to break things to force change." ... What they're saying: Harris spokesperson Kirsten Allen said Harris "will approach 2026 with the same commitment that anchored 2025 -- listening to the American people, reflecting where leadership has fallen short, and helping shape the path forward beyond this political moment." Allen added that includes "supporting efforts to win back Democratic majorities in the House and Senate."She'll be appearing on leftwing church elder Jimmy Kimmel's televangelist show next week. Meanwhile, unnamed Democrats -- though we know with 100% confidence they're supporters and employees of the likely candidates Pritizker, Bootyjudge, Harris, and even the Fiercely Heterosexual Spartacus Booker -- are planting disparaging information about Gavin Newsom in their allied press. They're even attacking him as... too left wing???!!?!
Gavin Newsom's Democratic rivals are plotting how to take down the early 2028 frontrunner, with a heavy emphasis on how unpopular his left-leaning views are outside deep-blue California. Driving the news: Our conversations with more than 20 Democratic operatives, including several working for 2028 hopefuls, reveal that they see the California governor as the guy to beat -- and a guy with a lot of personal baggage that's exploitable for a presidential primary. The consensus themes to expect in attacks on Newsom: The "too liberal, coastal elite" argument If primary voters prioritize electability, Newsom -- a former San Francisco mayor -- could be seen as a risky choice, the operatives say. ... The wealthy Getty family has been a key backer of Newsom's political and business career, leading some of his foes in California to call him a slick "Davos Democrat." 2. The scandals When he was San Francisco's mayor in early 2007, Newsom apologized for having an affair with his campaign manager's wife, who was also a subordinate in his mayoral office. ... During strict COVID lockdowns he imposed as governor, Newsom in November 2020 attended a birthday dinner for a lobbyist and adviser at the posh French Laundry in Napa. ... Zoom in: Some of Newsom's potential rivals and other Democratic leaders have begun going public with attacks. California Rep. Ro Khanna, referring to Newsom's former chief of staff recently being charged with corruption, said the aide's indictment is a "toxic stain" on the state.Kamala Harris: Tried and tested. Tanned, rested, and ready.

It amazes me how many great dystopian novels there are to warn about various threats to our society/world and how they have apparently almost no impact on public policy.
The "good" news is that AI has it currently exists doesn't actually think - so you won't get Skynet or Terminators.
But it would be easy to imagine a crappy AI update to an autonomous drone that then starts killing your own people or the more real threat an AI tool that all our elites use that has had its data constrained so that it gives intentionally incorrect answers around "controversial" topics.

She is 100%, absolutely, positively, no-doubt-about-it, bet-your-cock-and-balls running in 2028. Why shouldn't she? She'll grift piles of money, juice her yuge ego, and bask in fawning adoration of at least 40% of the country.
And she could be the Dum nominee. While I don't think the Dums are dumb enough to try to run her again, she's up in most polls and name recognition really helps. And who is her competition? Girlie fag fake black guys? Fat slobs who look like their necks took a shit? Patrick Bateman?
And -- god help us all -- she could end up winning the election in 2028.

There's a lot of shadow leaders too. I was surprised to find out that Rob Reiner ran an NGO with at least 3 different CIA spooks heading it up. And this NGO helped push all the Trump collusion stuff.
Trump's post was a ridiculous own goal, he should have taken the high road. But I suspect all the doubling down on his truth social post by Hollywood, and fawning over him, is because they are trying to obscure the shady places his money went.
I will say... hearing Rob Reiner was killed was a gut punch. Even if he hated me, I loved the films he made. It's a creative loss.

It ain't the ideological right that fails to vote but indy voters not attracted to the awful GOP brand name. These are transactional voters not impressed with words nor threats about how bad the Dems are but looking around their neighborhood at their local economy, crime levels, and taxes.
They vote for Trump because he earned their vote and loyalty but these voters do not give a shit about being shamed for not voting and if the GOP puts up assholes like Eyepatch McCain for Congress or the other GOP types grabbing money with both hands while in office, then they would just as soon stay home.
Trump is trying to make MAGA a cause with staying power while GOP officeholders are trying to grift to the max while paying it lip service.
It is hard enough for me to vote for these assholes, let alone an indy voter. And I've had to swallow my vomit at times when voting on the ballot because I know most of the WEF GOP types despise me and my fellow countrymen and want us dead or enslaved just like their reach around buddies across the aisle do.

This "blame the voters" thing is just as stupid as sports teams blaming fans for not coming out to watch them play. Here's a take: IF you want voters to come out for your election, GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT. The GOPe is a collection of LOSERS, who in general are just as immoral and corrupt as the people they're running against. The reason why the voters come out for Trump is that HE TRIES HARD to get them excited. He tells them their lives can be better, and what he'll do to make that happen.

That might have been correct if you were talking about a party in which primaries really are up for grabs. But that's not the Democrats. They are completely top-down. So only if the party leadership wants to reflect again on the significance of the passage of time, will she get the nod.
My own view is that being out of the WH is decisive here. They will be more ruthless in choosing whoever they think more likely to beat Vance.

Few understand the deadly serious stakes of 2026, the absolute knife's edge we are on.
- If the Dems win the House in 2026, they will impeach Trump, shut down the government and destroy the economy.
- Because that is what it will take to beat Vance in 2028
- Which will also give them House, Senate and Pres
- meaning, 1) pass nationwide vote-by-mail, 2) pack the Court, 3) change the Census counting, 4) criminal charges for every Trump admin official.
And that's just their first 90 days.

And some Arabs have made some beautiful poetry yet if they hate me and mine, then I don't mourn their passing. And I refuse to be hypocritical in issuing pablum myself or condemning Trump for expressing his justified true feelings.
Reiner became an evil twisted bastard in his last couple of decades because of politics and he visibly made California worse by his dabbling in propositions. His footsie with criminals in the CIA led to the diastrous Biden junta winning via fraud and opening the doors to mass invasion by illegals.
You can like the films all you want but the fact is that guy was an adamant supporter of making most Americans' lives demonstrably worse balanced by the minor amount of amusement that he gave us. I can readily find other sources for that without that baggage.

The very first day, if the Dems ever control the House, the Senate and the Presidency, they will 1,000% pass a federal vote-by-mail law that requires every state to send every registered voter a mail-in ballot.
They will make even the reddest of red states into OR and CO.
They intend to destroy state control of elections.

- The Confectional: The Pike Place Market bakery The Confectional closed after 18 years in business, owner Destiny Sund explaining that the additional costs were not sustainable.
The Washington Hospitality Association predicts that the number of restaurant closures in Seattle could rise by 5 to 8 percent this year due to the new wage law. The new law eliminates tiered wages and tip credits, creating uniform pay requirements for all employers, which has put a financial burden.

She says he billed 160 hours a week. Maybe she's a fucking idiot who doesn't know what she's talking about, but let's assume she's correct.

I was think about the films Reiner directed and many we're very much based on an America that is gone or fading, which is one reason they were so popular. Yet he and his ilk have worked endlessly to destroy that America. Going through his movies I also noticed his lead and supporting actors were almost entirety white people, except for an occasional big name like Morgan Freeman or Whoopie Goldberg or George Takie. Diversity for thee, white people for me.

There is no high road. Myth in this case. The brutal fact is that the US is teetering on massive violence caused by the left egged on by people like Reiner and other celebutards. Racialized killings and maimings, Muzzies doing jihad becuz Gaza, assassinations, these are all the doings of the left--not the right and Reiner was in the game as a participant for Team Blue all the way.
So to the extent that shaming might work on a few celebutards getting ready to kick the bucket, mebbe they tone their nasty mouths down a peg, stop expressing that violence is justified against their alleged 'Notsees' or 'fascists'.
I mourn the young lady and young man killed in Brown far more than Reiner. They did nothing other than good apparently and had potential to do far more in their lives. Ditto for Charlie Kirk. Ditto for Scotus judges, etc. etc. ad nauseam.
These people were assassinated directly because of deep Blue causes and inspired by their rotten leaders in society and in politics.

I'm not sure it does either really. If they are going to abandon him over this tweet, they were going to abandon him anyway. I'm not sold it helps or hurts either way. Part of me thinks it was ill advised, but that's mainly because it is just something I wouldn't do. I wonder if the young male base cheers it on. Or does Trump need to create these enemies to stay motivated. Either way, I'm not sure it matters.

No more SNAP fraud, no more Medicare fraud, no more Covid funds, no more USAID, fed worker fired at a greater pace, immigration enforcement increased in CA and so, so much more.
All of those were band-aids propping up CA for the last decade.

Kamala Harris highlights that truth more so than anyone. She's dumb (visibly so). She's socially inept (even more visibly so). And, by association (because I don't think she has the tools to be so on her own), she's corrupt.
She's not just unexceptional. She's the antithesis of a qualified candidate. I, literally, would not hire her into any form of decision making position. No wonder she's leading the Democrat polls.

If you were a loudmouth asshole while you were alive, you don't get a magical talisman that means nobody is allowed to point that out when you die. Reiner certainly earned that title, and for that matter so has Trump, but nobody is under any illusion that there won't be a conga line of lefty shitheels tap-dancing on Trump's grave when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

Not that Kam has any type of leadership cred. She was, after all, the border czar that allowed millions of illegals into our country. So there's that she can brag about!
"I, as Vice President, allowed millions of unvetted illegals from all over the world to come to our country and give us culture. Granted, the culture was murder and eating kitty cats, but it is more than Gavin did."
Then she will launch into a future of her leadership, which will be the best of all time and fruitful and wonderful and vapid adjectives circling back to herself. She will have a look of stoned wonder on her goofy face while she yammers insipidly and occasionally clicks on her radio earrings.
VP Vance will destroy her in a debate. So, bring it on!
I have to be honest,however, that politics three years from now is in the future and I live for today. "Sha,la,lalalala, live for today."

Yeah. But Reiner... is there any writer/director/producer in Hollywood that worked in such wildly massive genres and had such monster hits, or movies that have held up over time, as he did? Fantasy, thriller, Romantic comedy, horror, coming of age...it felt like he got involved in every genre and did it well, in his peak years.
He also did films that appealed to everyone. Even normie schlubs. It's too bad he stopped caring about the schlubs later on, and only worked on helping the elites.
His son is so messed up even after he did so much to help him...there's a lot of guilt there. Some rumblings online in the background are wondering if he failed to protect his kid from Hollywood's worst ilk, and it messed him up, and so dad tried to pay penance for that. (I wish someone would spill what they were fighting about at during Conan's holiday party.)

I think the fuel crisis that is going to ravage California next year will put an end to Gavin's national hopes. I think California will be sinking into all kinds of economic distress well before 2028, and it will be laid at his feet.
But you're talking about Californians. It'll all be "Life In Trump's America". Not a chance in hell that they'll put the blame on Gov HairProduct's plate. And if there's a couple of semi-honest Californians that acknowledge that Newsom had anything to do with it, they'll STILL vote for Newsom, because they won't vote for Republican cooties.

Biden's one claim to fame that got him both the VP slot and then the Presidential nomination was his longtime association with the US foreign policy apparatus. And by that I mean mostly the CIA.
Why do you think Obama put him in charge of Ukraine and China? Why do you think he pushed Ukraine NATO membership when anyone who really knew the situation knew it would lead to war?

Off sock dammit,
Sorry to hear that. White collar work or blue collar? If white collar, sales if you are a good people person is a way in. Even route salesman for checking supermarkets, etc. If you can sell one product, it is generally easier then to lateral shift.
Blue collar, the trades. Plumbing, electrical, mechanic, heavy equipment operation, all have apprenticeship programs.
There may also be some CDL positions opening up for truck driving due to illegals being driven out of the industry. Robert here, I think is or was a long haul driver but there are short hauls too if you have a good driving record.
One trick is to enlist in the Nat. Guard or better yet Naval Reserve or Air National Guard. Often depending on the state, they get education benefits at state institutions as well as a lesser GI Bill. Aim for a slot that trains for a job with civilian applications.

"As originally reported in August 2025 , a group of far-left human rights advocates sent a letter to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable the CCTV systems to protect “free expression and academic freedom across the country,” because “the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaign against US academic institutions.”
The motive for the request to disable CCTV systems as stated: “Right now these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists’ right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation.”
The letter from ‘Fight For The Future‘ (August, 2025) came after an earlier campaign by the same group seeking to stop the use of facial recognition cameras on college campuses. "

With Illegals Being Deported or Self-Deporting, Foreign Demand for Rental Properties Falls, and Rents Finally Start Falling as Well
I know commenters have been hammering the direct impact of open borders on rents.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the early evidence is in: President Trump's renewed border enforcement and mass deportation campaign is easing pressure on the housing market, delivering tangible relief for renters who were hammered during the Biden years. Speaking on Fox Business Channel, Bessent pointed to fresh rent data showing apartment prices fell 1.1 percent compared to a year ago and are now down 5.2 percent from their 2022 peak, when housing costs were surging nationwide. Bessent argued the decline isn't accidental, but the predictable result of reversing what he called years of "unfettered immigration" that flooded local housing markets and forced working Americans to compete for limited supply. Citing a recent Wharton School study, Bessent noted a near one-to-one relationship
between population growth and rent increases, saying the research found that "every one percent increase in population" translated into roughly a one percent rise in rents. "Rents are down," Bessent said, adding that the Biden administration refused to acknowledge how mass migration fueled the affordability crisis.
.@SecScottBessent: "There's a recent study out from Wharton School that shows every 1% increase in population, rents went up 1%. So, @POTUS, by enforcing the border, sending home more than 2 million illegals, we're now seeing [rents] coming down substantially." pic.twitter.com/VtzSj7SiFf

The White House touted fresh labor data Tuesday as evidence that President Trump's economic reset is taking hold, pointing to sustained private-sector hiring, shrinking federal payrolls, and rising wages as hallmarks of what the administration calls a restored "America First" economy. In a statement accompanying the release, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the latest jobs report shows Trump "fixing the damage caused by Joe Biden" and redirecting growth back to where it belongs. "Since President Trump took office, 100% of the job growth has come in the private sector and among native-born Americans -- exactly where it should be," Leavitt said, adding that wages are rising, prices are falling, and investment is pouring back into the country as the economy heads into 2026. According to the White House, the private sector has added 121,000 jobs since September and 225,000 since August, even as the federal government has shed 168,000 positions during the same period. Federal employment is now at its lowest level in more than a decade, down 271,000 jobs since Trump returned to office, reflecting the administration's push to rein in what it describes as an overgrown bureaucracy. Overall, Trump's second-term economy has produced 687,000 new private-sector jobs since January, with the gains concentrated among American workers.

It's the supply/demand curve.
Demand jacked up mightily for everything, especially essentials, unnaturally over the course of four years.
Helped not at all by NGOs laundering government funds to illegals to pay for things from groceries to rents to mortgages.
Removing that pressure by decreasing demand will have a lot of knock-on effects.

Except the charts under that quote don't show that at all. The first chart shows an increase in general foreign-born population growth (including legal immigrants). It has nothing to do with how that increase affects rental demand.
The second chart shows an increase in the percentage of FHA loans going to foreigners (including legal ones), but it still only shows about 4-6% of those loans going to foreigners. That's a very far cry from 50%.
I don't know where this guy is getting his top-line conclusion from. I think he's pulling them out of his ass.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at December 17, 2025 12:25 PM (iFTx/)
Supply and Demand are the iron laws that control price.
Biden brought in tens of millions of immigrants, legal and otherwise, and each one of them needed housing.
Though I am amused, we went through a few months of "How come Trump hasn't lowered the cost of eggs!" until he did.
Are we soon going to get complaints Trump's deportations are lowering housing costs too much?

Same in NYC and most big cities. A significant reason for this is reduced development during Covid. A lot of apartment and housing projects were delayed for years.
Not only does that mean that newer housing isn't coming on line as fast, it also means that in cases where a new apartment or housing project was replacing an older one, the older units were taken off the market for years.
All this resulted in reduced supply, which of course increased prices.

The formal unemployment rate tracks how many people are getting unemployment insurance.
If an illegal is working a non-blackmarket job and they get deported that will generally open up a job for an American and they'll get off unemployment.
BUT
I think the percentage of illegals working non-blackmarket jobs is much less then we've been led to believe, only around 10%.

-----------------------------
Even before covid, response rates for BLS surveys were awful. They got much worse during covid, and under Brandon numbers were just made up.
Add to this that the current situation is pretty unprecedented (foreigners leaving, jobs are for skilled non-college educated, lots of people currently have no skills) and you get a weird period where nothing makes sense.
Take CDLs as an example. 100% all of those illegals should be taken off the roads and dumped into the nearest large body of water. But who do you replace them with, short-term, especially when the CDL mills are being close down for certifying illegals? These things will work themselves out, but they need time (and people getting off their asses to improve their hire-ability).

This is a more general thing the left does. When some policy they support has pluses and minuses they just argue the latter doesn't exist.
So they will tell you here illegals add to the GDP and pay taxes. And...yes...some do. But their contributions are drowned out by welfare and other government funds going to them.
If you have 9 illegals on welfare and one illegal roofer getting paid under the table their overall contribution is going to be negative even if they pay sales taxes and the roofer does his part in making roofs.

If there millions less people in the US, just the way the math works, if the job situation was relatively stable, the numerator stays the same but the denominator decreases.
-----
Back before the 2 sides got to the point where we can't even agree what day it is, the consensus used to be that "full employment" was reached in the US when the unemployment rate was...4%...I think?
Now there's no consensus about anything--if 10 people in the US didn't have jobs, the Dems and the mainstream media would have a full court blitz on about how Trump's policies were destroying those 10 people's lives.

A few years back I wrote about three movies where the directors had gone back and added things years later: Apocalypse Now, The Tree of Life, and The Exorcist.
All three were best in the theatrical versions.
TWBA, though, was a creation of business-related compromises from the ratings board to Weinstein not wanting to release a four-hour film. I figured the singular version might actually slightly improve on things. But, I defer to your impression, since you have seen it.

I'm not sure how it works now, but back in the day it was fatal to overstay a legal visa. If you were here even one day longer than allowed, that meant you were fucked on any future visas or attempts to get a green card etc. I know a few people who left the country rather than run the risk of an expired visa, and then got a visa renewal/extension and came back. It was too big a risk to overstay. Of course, that changed under Obama and Biden.

This threshold helps maintain economic stability by absorbing demographic-driven expansions in the working-age population (typically ages 16-64), ensuring that job creation matches or slightly exceeds the influx of potential workers. Without hitting this level consistently, unemployment could tick upward over time, signaling weakness in labor market dynamics and potentially dampening consumer spending, wage growth, and overall GDP expansion.
The 200,000+ jobs per month threshold is viewed as a sign of a "strong" labor market because it represents job gains well above the breakeven point for population growth, indicating robust economic expansion, business confidence, and the ability to reduce unemployment or draw more people back into the workforce (e.g., via higher labor force participation).

They were debating a tax increase in a town near mine. The anti-tax crowd noted that taxes had already increased dramatically because of the massive increase in house prices. The pro-tax crowd argued this meant people had more money to spend. And as you note the anti-tax people noted that if you didn't want to sell and move increasing house prices did you no good and many, many individuals noted they could not afford the higher rates.
The response from the empathetic, caring pro-tax crowd? Then sell and move if you can't afford to pay more taxes.

I'm not sure how it works now, but back in the day it was fatal to overstay a legal visa. If you were here even one day longer than allowed, that meant you were fucked on any future visas or attempts to get a green card etc. I know a few people who left the country rather than run the risk of an expired visa, and then got a visa renewal/extension and came back. It was too big a risk to overstay. Of course, that changed under Obama and Biden.

I suspect the much ballyhooed superiority of the Confederate soldier was substantially due to the fact that they had a higher ratio of volunteers than the North, who had a high number of people in uniform who weren't really all that keen on fighting.

This number increased starting in the late 60s, generally attributed to women entering the workforce in mass
But it peaked in around 2000 and ignoring COVID has been slowly decreasing since then.
Part of it is an aging population true, but I suspect another part is an increase in the number of people on federal/state assistance.

Complicating things is that the Americans who got locked out of everything have often deteriorated...aging, lack of staying in practice, the results of despair...lots of moving parts. The bottom line is that the people who in theory could have stepped into those spaces aren't in the same spot they were five years ago--sometimes even two--and it's questionable whether those employers are willing or even able to meet them where they are.

That is how the law and the regulations were written and enforced until Clinton.

@Buck Throckmorton, if you're around, I'd love to see you expand on this in long form some morning.
They created phony growth that was counted in the national economic accounts, and as they depart by the millions, they will create phony recession. Think about it: An illegal alien spends $10000 a year on food and housing, that's counted. If it's public money, it's counted twice, because government spending also counts. So $20,000 is added to GDP but it creates no actual economic value. (Never mind all the secondary effects, which are too complex for this little gray box.) When that illegal alien goes back, as far as the economic statistics show, the economy is losing $20,000 of GDP.
So for a while things will be getting better all around us, but the stats will be showing DOOM.

It will start on Day 1.
The best message for the GOP and Trump in the 2026 election will be that's it's bad for the nation to have another impeachment.
For the record, I'm not a fan of Republicans promising impeachment either. I remember lots of Republicans being mad that Obama wasn't impeached. Just politically dumb and the numbers aren't there anyway.

Well for outright pessimism at the beginning, no one out-did William Tecumseh Sherman. Grant though was the guy who knew (because of manpower disparities) he could eventually grind down Lee’s army through attrition and actually did it…. I suspect during the Wilderness he began to wonder whether or not he had the stomach for it though…

Shortly after, Portugal's minister of foreign affairs, Paulo Rangel, announced his death to the Parliament of Portugal.

To be fair, my observation on the ground here in California is there has been years of indoctrination that ' illegal immigrants are a net plus for the economy paying in far more in taxes and increased demand than they cost in welfare and other benefits. '
This is obviously propaganda but intuition and critical thought don't seem to be strong points of 50% of the electorate.

Grant was extremely perceptive when it came to evaluating the competency of his direct counterpart(s) in Gray. He ran into problems when he judged the military stamina of the Confederate rank-and-file. Hence, he accepted the murderous attrition rate incurred during the Overland Campaign, because his objective was the dissolution of the ANV, either through a crushing defeat (unlikely) or a siege (worst case).

The takeaway was that presuming enough resources were given to support the attack its success mostly came down to whether the low level officers/NCOs on the seen could lead a charge across the final distance or not, because the normal human reaction was to find whatever cover there might be about 100 yards away and return fire.

Location is still a good marker for market real estate prices/rentals likewise the U Haul index is pretty decent predicting where people are moving from and to.
Rule of thumb is when the monthly housing cost including mortgage, insurance, etc. is lower than the same house description rental prices, then buy a home. If reverse, then rent because the market is likely overpriced.
There is also a time factor involved---you won't recover transaction costs from buying and selling with moves within a certain time frame something like 3-5 years in residence. That is assuming no employer assistance for the move.

Neither of them were Grant's choices. They were Lincoln's. Grant wanted Sedgwick to command in the Valley, and anyone else but Butler for the Army of the James. Sedgwick came from an old Democrat family and was not trusted by the Radical Republicans, and Butler was a Democrat who came out in support of Lincoln during the 1860 campaign. Out of uniform, Butler would have been a threat during the 1864 presidential campaign.

As they used to say on talk radio: "Dittos."
If a job was lost because the employee is no longer present to work, but a USC (US Citizen, per Linked In job postings requesting "non"-USC) replacement is put in place, is that a gain? Or a wash?
And what is the current rate of "discouraged workers"? Those who aren't counted in unemployment numbers, because they stopped trying to find employment? The Unemployment rate apparently went up. But if there's more demand for jobs now, even with the drop of employed immigrants, then it may be that the 'reservoir' of lost Americans has been opened. A new supply to replace immigrants, including illegal ones that were paid under the table and not properly taxed on income.

Wednesday Morning Rant
It's the latest example of so-called "dynamic pricing" -- the hated practice introduced more than a decade ago by Uber and Lyft, hiking prices for rides during rainstorms -- that is nickel-and-diming consumers, even as relentless inflation has sparked an affordability crisis.Not at all. These are entirely different things, and they should not be conflated.
"Dynamic pricing" - or "surge pricing" as it is sometimes called - is a response to suddenly increased demand. Rain? Ballpark emptying out? End of a concert? Enjoy a higher price for your ride. There is more demand for rides, and the price goes up. The crucial difference between "dynamic pricing" and what Instacart is allegedly doing is that "dynamic pricing" applies to everyone trying to get a ride in that area at that time. Two people standing next to each other ordering an Uber will both get the surge price in that scenario. One guy won't get socked with a surcharge while the other guy doesn't. That is not at all like what Instacart is doing.
Instacart is showing different prices for the same goods at the same store at the same time. That's "dynamic" all right, but it ain't the same. There is no reason for it (besides the obvious one), and it doesn't apply evenly. Arbitrary and opaque pricing differences are completely counter to the entire concept of prices - and per Instacart, it is arbitrary:In response to a query by The Post, Instacart said its price "tests" are never based on the personal or behavioral characteristics of shoppers.That's even worse if true, since there's no way to end-run its filtering. When prices change arbitrarily or are hidden, markets fail to function properly and people get rooked - which is why it's illegal. It breaks the market. Like the Post however, Instacart also makes a false comparison - though unlike the Post, the company must know that it's false:
"Just as retailers have long tested prices in their physical stores to better understand consumer preferences, a subset of only 10 retail partners -- ones that already apply markups -- do the same online via Instacart," an Instacart spokesperson told The Post in a statement.Except that the price in any given store applies equally to everyone in that store. The price doesn't randomly change for every person who walks in the door. This is likely a violation of antitrust law. Goods must be offered to all competing customers on the same terms. If you offer a discount - say, for quantity purchase, or for paying cash instead of with a credit card, or for being a member of a club, etc. - that discount applies to anyone who meets the terms. Anyone buying 1000 units gets the 1000-unit discount, and anyone with the club card gets the club card price. That is not what is going on here if the study is accurate. Competing customers, purchasing the same items on the same terms from the same location and at the same time are charged different prices. The FTC ought to be very interested in this, but they aren't. And why should they be? As we see time and time and time again, federal regulators and investigators aren't there to do their stated jobs, they're there to protect the anointed and punish the disfavored. If confirmed, Instacart's behavior would make for a prosecutorial lay-up. Too bad there are more important things to do, like subverting the President, shielding the Clintons and defending Pfizer. Not even the low-hanging fruit is worth plucking if the only benefit is to Americans.

No special conditions - club card, temporary discount, sale - every customer on the same basis. Prices vary for different customers. Odd, but illegal?
If it's random, especially hard to see the legal problem.

No. The activities you cited involved "negotiation" to one degree or another. There's not any negotiation involved with clicking on a website. If you and I click on the same item, we're supposed to be offered the same price (all other things being equal).

But charging different instacart shoppers different prices, that seems like it should be illegal and for sure seems immoral, if they are not giving 'preferred' addresses a price break then they are gouging people who don't have the time or ability to do some price checking and refuse to buy whatever item(s) they are being overcharged for. I don't buy that this gouging is completely random. I'm sure they track whether someone passes on a normal purchase if the price is jacked up and take them off their list of marks.

walmart and other grocery stores in my area all have delivery services, sometimes they are free based on your order. Sometimes they charge $5 or more depending on how far you are away from the store. They work great for the home bound people that we know and they don't jiggle with the prices like instacart does.

I can understand that; I’ve hit it myself. but I can also understand that drivers will want more money to drive during a storm than not, and that Uber will want to encourage more drivers to get out and pick up riders when there are more people trying to get rides.
For that matter, when I’m one of those riders, I also want more drivers out when there are more people using the service.

Surge pricing does work. The reverse is true too: duing off-hours, the fares are much cheaper. What significantly increases the fares are government-added taxes and fees and charges. Take an Uber and look at the final bill. Easily 20% goes right to the gaping maw of government.

What Mannix wrote does not sound like that, it sounds like instacart just 'randomly' inflates the prices of some items for some of the shoppers. In today's world I'm sure instacart can tell if a price spike results in a customer passing on that item or just making their normal order and they keep a list of the marks vs the tuned in customers.

Not exactly a direct analogy. If there happened to be a 3rd party service called "Instarent" who provided a service on behalf of the renter, and Instarent itself was charging different amounts, then that would be a direct analogy. And Instarent should be free to charge whatever it wants because it's an optional service.

Not exactly a direct analogy. If there happened to be a 3rd party service called "Instarent" who provided a service on behalf of the renter, and Instarent itself was charging different amounts, then that would be a direct analogy. And Instarent should be free to charge whatever it wants because it's an optional service.
Renter and landlord direct relationship is the same as shopper and grocery store direct relationship.
I'm not sure why an intermediary makes a difference. Can you elaborate?

Delivery of a service that should expand your customer base and hence your sales this bringing greater revenue and profit. I can see varying delivery charges based on location but not varying prices on the same thing at the same retailer.

Avner’s, a Jewish-owned bagel bakery in Sydney, has closed effective immediately following the Bondi chanukah massacre and escalating antisemitic threats.
The owners say police and security agencies warned the bakery had become a potential target, and that they were unable to guarantee their safety, making it unsafe to continue operating as a publicly Jewish business.

You don't think Instacart has an entire legal team that vetted this, and they agreed that it's legal?
They're just probing for rubes. Instacart quoting you a price of $3.95 for a can of baked beans when the beans are $1.25 in the store isn't illegal by any stretch of the imagination. They're just seeing if you're dumb enough to buy the beans at a ridiculous markup.
Just like if you tried to charge $30 when it's $20 in town. You might get some takers who don't want to go all the way to town, but some will keep on truckin.

Just my view / opinion, but I'm seeing the intermediary as a service. An optional service used for convenience. Not a necessary monopoly. Their market behavior should be met with market reaction - not government intervention. Market reaction could be reflected in a variety of ways. Maybe people just stop using their service. Maybe a competitor arises. Let the market decide.

I think you're referring to the Robinson-Patman Act. It's useless because there are so many exceptions, limitations, etc. As there should be in a free market. Buyer beware. If person X can negotiate a better price on a good or service, or can get a better price because he's a good customer or whatever, then person X should get that better price.
I personally think everyone should know by now that sales and retail -- and especially services like Instacart or Uber eats -- is Thunderdome and you are getting fleeced. If you are OK with that, then fine. But know that you're paying a substantial premium.

And oddly, they are different stores: the store with the cheapest Lagavulin doesn't have the cheapest Balvenie.

Aside from the number being off, the problem with this logic is that the $27 (or whatever they're charging) isn't JUST for the cheeseburger. It's also for the convenience of not having to go get it, of having it dropped at your door.
Now, you can argue that's not a very wise use of one's money, but the person who ordered food delivery obviously sees value in being able to sit on their fat ass, and have the food shoved into their face without any more effort on their part.

I used the word monopoly because of the discussion of anti-trust laws.
To me, instacart is similar to Tag and Title shops. I use a local one, and I realize I am paying for their service. There are a few of them here. They all charge different prices. I could go to the MVA / DMV myself, but I choose to pay for the convenience of not having too.
Another example might be legal services. Do all lawyers charge the same amount? Do lawyers charge every client the same amount? Services are optional and/or negotiable.

And if Instacart did not exist, how would you handle the shopping chores?
My daughter used to live in midtown Manhattan, and had no car. When she first moved there, she and my wife walked to the grocery store, which was not close, because there was no parking. They lugged all the groceries home, and said "never again". They thought about taking an Uber, but that was very expensive.
From then on, she used a delivery service, not for one or two items, but after she'd developed a list of things she needed.

ACA shoppers face sticker shock as Congress dithers on health care, December 15, 2025
BS. Paying nothing or almost for years. How can it be so shocking for up to (an additional) $1,000 spread out over the year for premium plans?
In 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) made special Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies available for people receiving unemployment compensation, allowing them to get lower-cost (even $0 premium) health plans on the Health Insurance Marketplace starting July 1, 2021, and these enhanced subsidies were later extended through 2025 by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Anyone who received unemployment benefits at any point in 2021 qualified, regardless of their yearly income.
Benefits: This meant access to significant premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, often resulting in $0 monthly premiums for benchmark Silver plans.
Then Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) extended these "enhanced subsidies" through 2025, continuing the benefit for the unemployed "and others."

I was in car sales for years. It's how I put myself through college and law school. The reality is in the modern world the buyer comes in knowing almost exactly what he wants.

In that case, we're talking about personal 1 on 1, face to face transactions, and we don't want to have a government minder standing over every single interaction. Also presumably there will be other small vendors available for the same product, which can be easily compared.
But with something like Instacart, we're looking at a computer algorithm with vast power that deals with tens of thousands of individuals a day, and the bargaining power between an individual and that kind of mechanized computing power is not even close to equal. It does not help anyone to make shopping for every individual kumquat a 2 hour exercise in price matching.

This is correct in part but it also willfully ignores all of the other factors they use in deciding what price to show you at the time of booking.
As I have said in this thread before, hit Expedia on your laptop and your phone, at the same time, from the same network, and pull up the same product (flight, hotel room) and I would bet you even money that you don't get the same price on both devices.

Social media makes them accountable, and they don't like it. Now the people are doing it organically because they realized many of them are criminals."

The insurance graph is odd because not only is there a yuge spike starting with Biden (for reasons which are obvious), there are also earlier spikes and falls that don't seem to correspond to anything.

Agreed. I order a good bit of things on Amazon but I try to make sure that what I find is cheaper than if I tried to find it locally. And that isn't even counting the time and transportation expense if I had to hunt some of the things down. (I have Prime because it pays for itself 2 or 3 times over with the no shipping charges. )

Are TJM and Bulg neighbors shopping at the same store? Remember, pricing starts at the store being shopped and Instacart up charges.

Yes, thank you for the clarifying question!
This has been a frustrating topic because so many here aren't willing to keep the discussion to a single commodity item available at the same time and the same date under the same terms and instead have gone out of their way to invoke rental agreements, airlines, cab rides, and hotel rooms. This topic originated about Instacart, which provides exactly ZERO of those services.

The nice thing about working for an auto company is getting the employee discounts. Which are usually a certain percentage below MSRP. So there's no hassle at all.
Go in there with your employee discount paperwork for the vehicle you want and that's that. All the salesperson has had to do for me is setup a test drive for me to confirm I like the vehicle I plan to buy and then input my information into the computer.

Nowadays, yea. Everything is online (including dealer prices and costs). You should know within a few bucks what's a good deal and what isn't before you ever go to the dealer. You still gotta watch out for upcharges and bullshit, but it ain't nearly like it was back in the day.

Piper puts enough of a premium on her time that she isn't worried about a bit of random price inflation and will notice and switch services if she starts getting gouged on evertyhing.
But I'm sure many folks that use a service like this start because their health is declining so not having to drive and walk the store is worth it initially. If the brain then declines as well, and I'm thinking of my dad (dad did no online stuff but for a younger or just more tech savvy person) the instacart practice seems like it could really harm those folks if instacart is probing to see if they notice ridiculous prices and then charges them 23% more just because they can when the customer fails to notice the gouging.

What's opaque about it?
A person buying a car has all of the tools at their disposal to make an informed purchase.
And nothing is final until you sign on the line that is dotted and if a person allows themselves to be pressured into making a deal, then that's on them.

Perhaps because NATO decision to go to war must be unanimous. What do you think the odds are of Putin agreeing to go to war with himself? It would have made NATO utterly impotent against the very reason it was created.
Yes, NATO decisions, including going to war or undertaking major operations, require consensus (unanimous agreement) among all member countries, meaning no formal voting occurs, but individual nations still decide their own military contributions voluntarily. While Article 5 triggers collective defense with an attack on one, implementation (like troop deployment) is national, and for non-Article 5 missions, allies consult until agreement is reached, though debates exist about acting without full consensus

According to Mike Benz, that's because the State Department and George Soros spent most of the 90s and early 2000s trying to destabilize the Russian government and buy all the distressed former Soviet assets.

Many if not most dealers make more money on service and warranty repairs than sales. The profit margins on the sales side are usually very low, even on very expensive cars.

Not trying to say it's a bad experience, but the average car buyer has much less of a clue about the nature of how cars are priced and sold than they think they do. There's all kinds of funny math, floorplan, dealer holdbacks, incentives on the dealer side, etc. It's not that you can't go in and get a "good deal" but you're probably not getting a really smokin' one unless you're a very savvy consumer.

I put that statement into Grok:
No, Wendy's is not implementing the same kind of "dynamic pricing" as the recent Instacart controversy.
Wendy's Situation (from 2024)
Wendy's CEO mentioned testing dynamic pricing starting in 2025, using new digital menu boards. This sparked backlash with media calling it "surge pricing" (like Uber hikes during peak demand). Wendy's quickly clarified:
They have no plans to raise prices during busy times.
Instead, it focuses on offering discounts and value deals during slower periods (e.g., off-peak happy hour-style promotions).
They explicitly stated they will not implement surge pricing.
As of late 2025, there's no evidence they've rolled out any price increases tied to demand — it's framed as customer-friendly flexibility for lower prices.

Add things to your cart you want, but don't like the price on.
Add one thing that does have a price you're willing to pay.
Begin the checkout process.
Remove all the items that you didn't like the price on.
Make the one purchase, or remove it too and close the site.
Send the "No Sale" message to them often. They'll get the message (at least if they're monitoring things like that.)

If I'm being serious (for once), I don't believe we WILL fix our system, but I'm also not willing to stop trying.
Sometimes it feels like we're those guys on the western front, being told to assault that German machine gun position, climbing up over the walls, with a brief sense of relief that the guns don't open up right away.
No, they're waiting for us to get further into no-man's land, so we don't have the ability to crawl back to the trench. They'll wait for us to get slogged down in the mud, before the bullets start ripping our chests open.
I'm still willing to go up over the wall. Knowing what's to come.

>> It's not that you can't go in and get a "good deal" but you're probably not getting a really smokin' one unless you're a very savvy consumer.
You're not going to get a "good deal" on a new car, really, the only "good deal" is paying MSRP or something slightly below MSRP and adding in whatever incentives the manufactures has, your trade in is going to be valued at the black book by the dealer as a base and then he's going to pick it apart and probably offer you 10-20pct less, financing is straight forward, you are either going to bring your own cash, however that is or you are going to finance through the dealer and they are going to finance it above prime and their own points.
The bottom line is, what do you ultimately want to pay for this vehicle.
And all of important questions can be derived before you step foot onto the showroom floor.

That's been going on since the last century.
But the price at that specific store is the same for everyone.
Wait until the price display is an electronic phone reader and it changes as each different customer observes it. Until then pricing at that store is the same.

One of the books I read for one of my students was the Aeneid. I didn't read the whole thing, but a good chunk of it.
The plot of the Aeneid is basically this: Aeneas escapes from Troy and wanders around the Mediterranean wondering what he should do with his life. Everywhere he goes, somebody tells him to go to Italy. But he spends most of the epic NOT going to Italy.
In the end, something seeps in. "Gee, maybe I should go to Italy," he says to himself. Then he does finally go to Italy, where he kicks ass.
Most of those Greek/Roman mythological heroes were pretty dim bulbs. Odysseus excepted.

I like the colors and the composition. The characters seem relaxed and comfortable with one another and in their surroundings.
However....
The naked girl is young and seems to be treated like a favorite pet. That's creepy as fuck. And she is completely superfluous and serves no purpose to the scene.
Wonder what the artist was thinking and trying to convey by adding her to the group.

That is a representation of Aeneas’ unfaithfulness to Dido and foreshadowing of her death. Dido fell in love and equated having sex as being married. Aeneas did not. When he broke Dido’s heart, she killed herself.

Franklin Pierce's son, Benjamin Pierce, tragically died in a train wreck on January 6, 1853, just weeks before his father's inauguration as President. The accident occurred in Andover, Massachusetts, and resulted in Benjamin being decapitated, which deeply affected Franklin Pierce and his fragile wife, Jane, who had already lost two other children. This loss likely had a significant impact on Pierce's presidency

Leftists alternate between saying things like this, then calling for people of religions they don't like to be imprisoned.
And one thing I remember that gives me a chuckle - in the late 90s the left argued the only reason the US didn't depose the Taliban was because the US was a patriarchal society and approved of the Taliban
And then after 9/11 when the US did depose them, for a while at least, the left started arguing the only reason the US did it was because we wanted to bully a weak 3rd world country and were too racist to respect their sovereignty.

It didn't help, but Pierce had alcohol troubles long before his son's death. When he ran for President, he was mocked as being "the hero of many a well-fought bottle."
Jane Pierce didn't drink, so far as I know, but never wanted Pierce to hold political office, was angry with him when he ran and considered their son's death to be God's judgement on them both.
And Pierce came pretty close to treason when he hooked up with Buchanan, Fillmore, Van Buren and Tyler to thwart POTUS-elect Lincoln's plans to handle the South.

The 10-armed version of Def Leppard was amazing. That's the first 3 studio albums (concluding with Pyromania). I saw them live in January of 1983 right when Pyromania was climbing the charts and their videos were all over MTV. They put on an EPIC show, and the music itself was closer to Judas Priest than it was to pop.
Things all went to went to hell after Pyromania. They were never the same band.

"I once knew two sisters, whose name it was 'Christmas,'
And one was called 'Dawn,' of course,
The other one was named 'Eve' -
I wonder if they grew up hating the season
Of the good will that lasts 'till the feast of Saint Stephen?"

I didn't. Obama should have been impeached and thrown in jail for executing an American citizen extrajudicially.
He should also have been impeached and thrown in jail for Fast and Furious, an effort to overthrow the 2nd Amendment by getting firearms into the hands of foreign cartels.

There was a period of time where citizenship was handed out like moslims handing out candy after they coerced a mentally disabled recruit to self-detonate in an Israeli school playground.
If I were in the Trump admin, I'd hire a team to scour through all citizen grants starting with Bush's first term and revoke on any technicality.

Counts as a de facto renunciation of citizenship, as far as I am concerned. And if he was born outside the USA, and got citizenship by naturalization, then going back to Shitcanistan and joining ISIS is proof that he lied when he took the citizenship oath.

Not to mention being an Act of War against Mexico, since the point wasn't just to get arms into cartel hands, but to have them picked up AT CRIME SCENES with Mexican blood on the ground.

...and she appears to have cast ballots in BOTH Georgia and North Carolina in 2008, 2012, and 2014.
Furthermore, it appears she also claimed a "homestead tax exemption" in Georgia which is legally only available to those with a permanent residence.
