Hobby Thread - May 9, 2026 [TRex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. For this week, the Wheel of Hobbies (TM) decided on a Montana travel theme for this Hobby Thread.
Why Montana? We may never know. The ways of the Wheel are strange and mysterious. [Top Photo: Cathedral of St. Helena, Helena, Montana]
This car makes a statement: the Auto Union Lucca is emblematic of the technical innovation of the four rings in the 1930s. Audi Tradition has recreated the spectacular record-breaking car and will unveil it for the first time in early May in - aptly - the Italian city of Lucca. On February 15, 1935, the car set a widely acclaimed flying-start mile record on a straight section of the autostrada near Lucca, achieving a calculated average speed of 320.267 km/h and a measured top speed of 326.975 km/h. The Rennlimousine, a period term meaning "racing sedan," was completed in the spring of 2026 and will join the legendary Silver Arrows in AUDI AG's historic vehicle collection.
Audi had the Auto Union Lucca recreated by Crosthwaite & Gardiner based on historical photos and various other documents from the archives. After spending just over three years on its construction, the British restoration specialists completed the project in early 2026. All components are handcrafted especially for this model; in addition to the technical implementation, the production of the streamlined bodywork - such as the cockpit canopy and the tapered tail - was particularly labor-intensive. The hard work paid off: at the end of April, a drag coefficient of 0.43 was measured for the record-breaking car in the Audi wind tunnel.
Building the Mars rover Perseverance began in April 2020 and used 880,000 matchsticks and 28 gallons of wood glue by the time it was competed in the spring 2021. The massive matchstick model measures over 10 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 7 feet at its tallest point. In addition to having a remote control video camera mounted atop the mast, the rover can be remotely operated to move forwards and backwards.More photos here at Matchstick Marvels.

There was mention this week somewhere of Henrietta Rankin, who was the only vote I think? against the declaration of World War II. What wasn't mentioned is that she was also the only vote against World War I. The first woman representative.
And you still let us vote. How brave of you.
Probably the most relevant bit of history today is that the Vigilantes were a real thing in MTA. Controlled a lot of territory for a quite a few years. I don't remember much of my history, but enough to say that I don't think people take the threat of vigilantes as seriously as they ought to.

Cherri Merritt thought she would never see her cat Tasha again after the longhair ragdoll mix went missing near Dallas, Texas on a cross-country road trip over seven months ago. However, Tasha is now back home purring peacefully in Merritt’s lap after a twist of fate and a series of unexpected connections brought the cat back to Eugene.Great story involving a lot of good people!
1. Find a picture of a skull-faced cheerleader waving giant leaves. There's probably lots on the internet.2. Draw a rope connecting her ankles. 3. Draw a rope connecting her toes by going over her head. 4. Add two triangles at the top, then slightly bigger ones over those, and voila! A cat! Thank you for the weekend threads! BeckoningChasm
NOW GET CREATIVE! Thanks, BeckoningChasm!
Hi K.T. This is my pup Whiskey staring at me from around the corner. So sad and forlorn he is. He does this every morning until I finish my first cuppa tea because that's when he gets his breakfast. Twenty minutes can seem like a lifetime to him, I'm sure, yet he perseveres daily nonetheless. ~~IrishEiLove that photo! Such eyes! Such a face!
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had to let my Eskimo dog go over the Rainbow Bridge. Here’s my new pup, Luna, an 8-month old Eskie puppy. She was a stray who ended up in a kill shelter (and God, do I hate that term) but was saved by a foster mom. I drove to Alexandria to get her and now she is in her forever home. I’m a sad, rotten fellow, but having her makes me happy. MP4So happy for you and for Luna that you and a foster mom were able to rescue her! Great rescue photo!

The doves are back. This is hatching #2 for 2026. They are ready to fly the coop. Momma is currently sitting on two more eggs so look for two more hatching in late June. They love this dove box and it has been occupied every year since 2022. The nesting pair arrives in February and they leave in September. rocdoctomWhat a great thing! Those doves look cozy!

Had a nice walk this morning with Daisy the magnificent Malinois. Went down to the fenced-in graveyard area, where she likes to run around free and sniff everything. She's been pretty good lately about not running off to herd the cattle, but we still use the leash on walks. Not needed if we have a ball to throw.
Her training collar quit on us, or I might trust her with just that. Still working on obedience discipline with her.
Wednesday last was four years since little not-quite-one year old Daisy jumped out of the back of the truck of the kids who found her loose on the highway, and rushed over to me like we'd been pals forever. Wonderful moment. Didn't know how much we needed another dog, especially a highly active Malinois pup!!

Beautiful cat. The second picture looks like Snowflake.
I was able to remove Snowflake's last huge clump of matted fur this morning! Yay. There's a very tiny little bit left. The beautification project took weeks.
My friend and I came home from Costco yesterday, he pulled into my driveway, and Snowflake - their cat - was sitting on my window sill.
Ralphy is doing well. He really liked Marrobones I got from Amazon and has really been eating which is a nice change of pace. I get tired of carrying him up and down the stairs when I work on the computer but I'm adjusting.
He is too.

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, May 9
The pink flower is Bletilla striata, a terrestrial orchid. I planted it years ago and can't remember what the bare root looked like. I've seen it described as a root, pseudobulb or a tuber. Breck's calls it a rhizome. It is pretty dependable and not really fussy,. The plant does spread slowly but a single plant will eventually grow to more.I love that little flower. The middle looks ruffled. I used to have some, in part shade. The rhizomes sometimes stuck out above ground. They were green. There is also a white version of the flower.
The blue flower is Sisyrinchium angustifolium, blue eyed grass. and is a native perennial in most of the US. It's actually not a grass, it belongs to the Iris family. I was a little surprised to see it come back; I had just planted this past summer and not only were temps really low this winter it's planted in a corner that sometimes pools water. The clump is doing surprisingly well!Glad you are having success with this one. Wonder who named it? Thanks for sending in the great photos!

Unfortunately, the big news around these parts is our annual flooding. Between intense rain soaking the ground, and my neighbor's pond overflow discharging through my yard (allowed, as my yard has a creek, so it's the natural drainage or somesuch), it's a bit soupy. I have a couple native plum that have more blooms, and are more fragrant, than I recall from past years, so maybe we'll see some fruit, as they're only a few years old. We have one nice little cherry tree that produced several pounds of cherries last year, and things look good so far. Finally, I think this is a redbud along my normal walking path. Color is pretty striking. Intrepid Liaison/Admiral Ackbar

It is definitely a problem, I don't think that's questioned but in June of this year there was an article published in a journal--Analytical Methods--entitled "Avoiding and reducing microplastics false positives from dry glove contact". It appears the question is not whether themicroplastics problem exists but how much of one.

Apollo 11 Almost Never Left the Moon
Democrats are working overtime to manufacture enemies and keep their armies of straw men alive.
“For me to be right, you must always be wrong no matter what” seems to be the mechanics behind a lot of sociopolitical turmoil these days, and it is often utilized by people who intentionally twist positions, most that their opponents never held, simply are not true, consist of terms that have been redefined to fit, situations that have been recontextualized, or they just never happened so they can be “right.” It happened to me this week when a person attacked me for things I never said, I never did, I never believed, nor have I ever espoused—and no matter how much direct, objective, and in some cases, publicly known, evidence I presented, he just would not accept any of it. His entire package of grievances was a neatly tied up box of manipulated rhetoric, things taken out of context, false memories and mythmaking that was completely and totally false.
People ridiculed President Trump in his first term when he founded the Space Force as a new branch of the military. Well who’s laughing now? True, it might seem that building a wall against alien incursions is impossible, but didn’t Star Trek solve this decades ago with modulated shields? And we’re already long past making analogies between the Administrative State and The Borg. And this, you see, is why I have to re-appear here, because let’s face it, John is just weak (by his own admission) about sci-fi-pop-cul. Meanwhile, the Persian Gulf ceasefire punctuated with “kinetic activity” continues. And oh yeah—Spirit Airlines died. I suspect this is not a coincidence. I’ll bet it was an alien front all along, and Trump’s Space Force is on it!

During the period 2021 to 2025, there were 676 illegally registered voters at a non-existent address, including several who voted illegally in Washington County, Oregon (just west of Portland. Beaverton is the major city in the county).

This is hilarious.
In STARZ new series adaptation of the movie/play "Amadeus"-
Mozart is played by an Asian actor.
Who knew Mozart played a killer
Apparently, it's loaded up with other ahistorical embellishments.

Bob Fosse died in 1987, so I suppose it's possible that Michael Jackson or a group affiliated with him hired Bob Fosse to help design some of Michael Jackson's dance routines.
That happens all the time these days.

I absolutely can't stand it when actual historical figures who were white are played by ethnic actors. I get stuck on that instead of the actual story because it's too jarring. I can't imagine anyone except for the people who came up with the concept are not bothered by it. Mozart played by an Asian? Oookay. Why don't .we have J.S Bach played by a black woman?!

"Betty" Broderick never repented. She killed a rat. She dodged the First degree murder rap. But you bet your ass that she planned it.
I don't think she was crazy. Her husband left her for a younger version. His buddy the judge in the divorce proceedings, did him no favor by tying up her share of the multi-million community property.

It's sort of ironic that Bob Fosse...was reputed to be an absolute poonhound.
That's more or less the story of his movie "All That Jazz".
In any event, you've got to believe that any normal guy involved in dancing would do very very well with the ladies,

Pearl Harbor: intended to cast doubt on whether the US was acting justly by claiming they put their own people in harm's way in order to satisfy their ambitions of Imperial conquest.
JFK: the killer's motive (communism) is almost entirely forgotten and instead the government or Republicans get blamed. In some variations the communist assassin ends up an entirely innocent patsy.
Moon landing: cast doubt on a crown jewel of American achievement. Leaving the Soviets to have the greater accomplishment with the first person in space.
Why it's almost as if commies have been spending the last 70 years manipulating gullible people to tear down our country and prop up communists instead.

Just tried to watch the latest Agatha Christie adaptation. I should have just avoided because A ) BBC production B ) directed by the guy who killed Dr Who, Chris Chibnall, aka Chinball.
They race swap a pivotal character, a German inventor who has an advanced steel formula, with a - get this - a guy from Gambia. You might be thinking, " huh?" Right, so, they give him a backstory; he graduated from a German university but then was drafted in WWI to go fight in Africa for Germany. And horror of horrors, he had to kill his fellow tribesmen. Colonolmisms bad, mm'kay.

We watched The Martian the other night. One impressive part was the plan to get the man from the surface to the spaceship overhead. Everything about it seemed insane and nearly preposterous. Watching this video on Apollo 11, I just thought, it was just as insane and preposterous. And just like the fiction, the real lunar rendezvous actually worked.

Well, maybe, but I think that's kind of a silly point. When the Japanese or Koreans or Chinese make a cowboy movie (and they have), they use J or K or C actors, of course. It's a movie for their customers.
Or when "Amadeus" played on the stage in Japan, they used Japanese actors...naturally.
In that case, race switching works (for them) and is perfectly understandable. They are trying to entertain, not teach a lesson.

Basically people should act like an objective scientist and treat their own claims more harshly in regards to evidence supporting their claim than evidence pointing in the opposite direction.
Far too many people though use an advocate (prove me wrong) attorney style presentation where you are the prosecutor. They overlook that in an adversarial system, that the other side always gets defense counsel in criminal cases.
Attorneys are allowed to do a number of logical fallacies in presenting their cases to the court because the other side is there to stomp over them in when their turn comes up before the jury. So the jury picks between two different presentations of the same facts allowed in as evidence.
Outside of formal debates or trials, courtroom adversarial type fact finding has little or nothing to do with trying to establish 'truth'. Even there, civil law systems rely more on written dossier systems than the adversarial oral style preferred in Anglo countries. And they rely on a panel of experienced judges.

Most of the noninstitutional people who talk about conspiracies are liars of another stripe, or loony cranks. The few who seem credible never have any evidence to back up anything, because of all the lies and coverups.
So, to me, conspiracy theories are the same as the accepted truth - they can be categorically dismissed out of hand just like the bien pensant received wisdom, because we live in an environment where the truth is locked in a Schrodinger's Box at the heart of a hall of funhouse mirrors. It's full epistemic rupture.

It is literally a theory that involves a group of people engaged in a conspiracy. Well...that happens all the time and no one pats an eye...a group of punks conspiring to sell drugs, break into houses, or defraud the elderly? Does anyone deny this sort of conspiracy happens?
The real first step in assessing these sort of theories is, "would it make sense for the people in this group that has been identified to secretly engage in some activity based on their own views?"
Leftist conspiracy theories almost always fail here. For example why would Christians want to live like Muslims/The Handmaid's Tale?

Payment in kind is a thing. Free room and board in exchange for light housekeeping duties is not necessarily a bad deal.
Two caveats: "Maria" has a job, so no welfare for her. And,
secondly, Karen has to allow her sufficient time off to hunt for a regular job so that "Maria" can improve her situation.
Oh, third caveat: Maria has to have legal residency. Full stop.

There's a significant leap between there and "the shooter was best friends with the VP and his wife". I assume KT intended some sarcasm there?

Eva Peron stated regularly "where there is a need there is a right" and that was the basis for the Peronist social welfare system.
Which turned Argentina into a basket case, economically. Another endless economic recession.

May be something to that. One of the phrases that's been adopted among anti-immigration-enforcement progressive types is "they're all just people" or "they're all human beings," which I believe was inserted by globalists to diminish the idea of nation-states, and of distinctions between cultures, or that cultures can be compared as better or worse than others. A Somali fraudster is a Norwegian businessman is an Eritrean serial rapist. All morally equivalent, no concerns or consideration regarding their country of origin allowed.

White people have the world's best win/loss record against tyranny (and especially Communist/socialist tyranny), so they probably want to breed that out of the human race. Hence the ads in Ukraine and Denmark trying to convince people that only mixed race children are human.

Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

The launch from Mars was a little off to me . When they took off the nose cone and removed the windows the aerodynamics would have been all screwed up and I doubt the rocket would have flown straight. But it was sci-fi
Posted by: Smell the Glove at May 09, 2026 12:02 PM (gu0hJ)
Mars' atmo is so thin that its possible that the nose cap doesn't contribute much relative to a launch from Earth. But I didn't see the movie. If the overall mass is reduced it might be a win overall. I did not see the movie.

I've seen a demonstration of the device on YT or somewhere. Its set up to reflect a laser back to its source no matter the direction of the incoming laser. You enter the coordinates of the landing site and you see a big return signal. Move it off that site, you get no signal at all.
Also, they have taken hi res photos of lunar landing sites that show the equipment left behind.

It is exactly the reverse, because they advertise it as a feature just to rile up there audience. It is a demonstration that they have the power to force a stupid casting decision on the audience that won't accept it. It is racial/cultural division, not a 'we are all alike' move.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
From long time reader and commenter, Bidens Dog. The power of coffee!!!!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
4/18 Update – Susan is doing outstanding. Her weight is better than expected. They have increased her dosage for chemo, and her cancer numbers are the lowest they have been since they started keeping track of them. They are so thankful for the mercy they have received. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. 3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery.
4/11 Update – A.B. got a second opinion and testing determined his live score was 15. (21+ means transplant time.) That’s bad, but not as critical as initially thought. He went to the Cleveland Clinic for a third opinion, and testing found that his score had dropped to 9 and a liver transplant was not even something to consider. The doctor suspected a reaction to Ozempic and told him to stop taking it for 6 months. 3/28 – Hrothgar asked for prayers for a dear and long time close friend and former neighbor, Daniel, who is scheduled for open heart surgery in mid-April. Prayers for his wife would be appreciated as well, as she will be carrying a heavy load for the next few months.
4/18 Update – Daniel survived his complex open heart surgery. He is sitting up and it seems like it went well, but they are not going to release him as quickly as he would like, so he is not happy. Thanks to the Horde for the prayers and please keep praying for his dear wife, who now has even more to put up with. 3/28 – Jordan61 posted that Mr. Jordan61 is back in the hospital. His sepsis has returned and gotten into where his compression fracture is, and he has vertebral osteomyelitis. The doctor is supposed to come in today and let them know the plan.
4/9 Update – On 4/1 Mr. Jordan61 was released from the hospital with six weeks of IV antibiotics, which Jordan61 is administering every 8 hours. He’s in a lot of pain; they’ve given him oxy, fentanyl, and dilaudid, and nothing seems to touch it. From what they were told, the pain won’t subside until the infection is cleared up. For the time being, he is bed-bound and they are limiting his movement as much as possible to keep the pain to a minimum. Jordan61 will send updates with progress.
4/25 Update – Mr. Jordan61 is making slow but steady progress. He can get up and walk for short periods of time, and can sit in the living room for an hour or so per day. He is halfway through the IV antibiotics, with 3 weeks to go. A physical therapist will be coming to help him build strength and learn how to move without aggravating his back injury. Thank you all for the prayers! 4/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. Her chemo seems to be holding things steady for now. Unfortunately, as she is receiving a steroid, she has gained about 25 pounds. Her blood sugar has also jumped up about 40 points (which only happens when she is on steroids).
4/24 Update – Teresa in Fort Worth provided an update: The pump that was put in to battle cancer in December can only be used for 6 months. After that, it starts to damage the liver. So she may have to go back onto the medication that made her lose her hair and messed up her vision and nails, and then return to this medication after a break. This is not good news, since this new medication is working so well. But for now, she is doing well and is incredibly grateful for the time that she has been given so far. 4/11 – Eromero craves prayers for Mrs. E., as she has been diagnosed with lymphoma. She begins infusions on 4/23.
4/25 Update – Mrs. E. reports that she feels fine. Praise be to God that she has had only one distressful episode during the infusions. Thank you for all the past and continued prayers. 4/18 – Vmom deport deport deport asked for prayers for Captain Whitebread, who is back in ICU with a leg infection that sounds very serious. She also asked for prayers for her husband’s mental and emotional well-being as he faces transition of a possible forced retirement in 3 months.
4/29 Update Captain Whitebread’s son posted that Captain Whitebread had several more infections and passed away on 4/29. 4/18 – Warai-otoko offered a prayer of thanksgiving that he got a new job that he is really enjoying. Wifey also got an offer for a new job that sounds great, after a decade of putting up with her old job. 4/18 – fd posted that MIL went into the hospital with multiple issues. Then Dad went in. MIL is still there, and Dad is out. Both will be okay – as well as can be expected for 87 and 89 year olds. Also GSD Bruno started chemo for lymphoma and is responding well. Prayers from the Horde have helped.
5/2 Update – MIL and dad are back home. Bruno seems to be doing well. Thank you all, sincerely, for your thoughts and prayers. 4/18 – neverenoughcaffiene asked that Devyn be kept in prayers. She is a young mother of 2 with a mass on her esophagus. The Doc said it was scar tissue and hopefully the second opinion will agree. 4/18 – Smell the Glove could use some prayers as therapy and rehab occur after gout/sepsis.
5/2 Update – The gout has cleared and the infection in the lower back is healing. 4/18 – PA Dutchman asked for prayers for his family. His dad passed away on 4/9 after complications from a fall. He was 95 and a veteran of the Korean War, 34th Inf Rgt. Mostly prayers are need for PA Dutchman’s mom, who is absolutely heartbroken. 4/18 – PabloD has been having dizzy spells for the past few weeks. He is seeing a doctor soon, and is requesting prayers that figure it out and that it’s nothing too serious. 4/18 – Sam Adams requested prayers for a friend, Mary F, who was just sent to a long-term recovery facility after having a tracheostomy.
5/2 Update – Mary’s breathing is improving, and they are weaning her off assisted breathing. She is now off the ventilator for 12 hours a day, and they are aiming for 14 hours soon. Many thanks to all of the Moron Horde for the prayers. 4/18 – Doof provided an update on his mother. She is doing better. She moved into her own room in an assisted living facility. It’s walking distance from Doof’s house, which is great. Her mental state has improved dramatically. She can no longer walk but she does stand with some assistance and can transfer between a wheelchair and bed or a lift/recliner chair. This facility is more of a home and less of a hospital, which hopefully will provide a good opportunity for her to enjoy life. He appreciates the Horde’s prayers and asks for prayers that she settles in comfortably and develops new friendships. 4/24 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for a friend’s father (Cory), who needs prayers for strength and peace as he is going through some troubled times. 4/27 – Matthew Kant Cipher sent his thanks to those who prayed for his friend Layne (who is also his son’s FIL). The Horde may recall that in August, Layne was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He has since undergone courses of chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation. His latest scans came back clean. The cancer is in remission; praise be to God! Prayers are also humbly requested for Mrs. MKC, who is dealing with a new flare-up of a GI condition that had been leaving her alone until a recent procedure re-aggravated it. It is very frustrating/discouraging as she waits to see a new GI doctor. 4/25 – Retired Buckeye Cop asked that we would continue to lift his 16 year old grandson (LH) up in prayers, as LH continues to consider the call to priesthood in the Catholic Church. LH recently went to a meeting with a group of young men who are considering the priesthood. 4/25 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for “I”, who Fenelon visited and anointed with oil, and prayed for healing of her health concerns. 5/2 – neverenoughcaffiene requested prayers for parishioners at her church, who lost their newborn daughter, Astrid. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

Basically, yet another example of how White Dem Women hate poor people.
Anyhow, I did have an appointment, and as I watched the idle state employees chat among themselves rather than help anyone, I spotted a very ugly woman, and felt bad for her, and then realized it was a dude with breast implants and a chest tattoo. OF COURSE that was the one I had to go to. He was reasonably efficient, and when I found (to no great surprise) that the online instructions were flawed, he said I could just come back after retrieving necessary documents. (cont)

Driving back and filled with wrath, I calmed myself by saying a decade of Hail Marys and the prayers given above. By the time I reached the office I had come to realize that the mutilated creature before me was an object of pity, not contempt, and that if anyone deserved to go to hell, it was the people who did that to him.
Matters were satisfactorily concluded, and upon returning home, I fulfilled the sidequest of going through all the papers that had piled up over a couple of years.

'As flight 4345 was departing this evening from Denver International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport, the aircraft reportedly struck a pedestrian on the runway during takeoff.'
According to reports, the person struck was at least partially ingested into one of the engines which, in turn, caused a fire leading to smoke inside the aircraft.

"I had come to realize that the mutilated creature before me was an object of pity, not contempt..."
+++
Had a similar experience recently when I looked into getting something custom framed at a frame shop inside the big arts and crafts store which shall remain nameless.
I had to force myself to get over the initial wave of revulsion and focus on the subject at hand. And to be fair, the person, who is a he, despite whatever delusions are at play, was extremely professional and very creative regarding choice of frames and mats and the like. The final version he came up with was impressive.
I just had to set aside my bias and desire to go to another store.
Pity, not contempt.
By the way, I didn't get the framing done. Much too expensive for my budget.

Major flight line violation there. One of the rites of passage in Air Force public affairs is the first time you are thrown to the tarmac at gunpoint by the SPs because you violated flight line rules.
There are some variations. My major at the 127th got an M-60s trained on her in Kosovo. In my case, I was in a parking lot adjacent to the runway (so on the correct side of the line) taking photos of a memorial flight from the top of an ammo cart, but they rolled up on me and held me at gunpoint just the same. Naturally when they called Wing HQ they said they didn't know who I was and I should be detained.
The unit called back before I got cuffed. Oh how everyone (but me) laughed.

Right, but that's a restricted area. There are things called flight line badges, and one has to be trained and checked out, and if you look at the runways and aprons, those strange marks tell you where you can and can't go.
I actually did the online certification for runway driving and kept it current for much of my career, even though it rarely mattered. At one point I was going to retrain into airfield ops, but it requires full color vision and I'm partially colorblind (I'm one of those guys who mixes up black and dark blue).

Yes, in fact, if demons exist and can be identified, catalogued, and studied, they should be. And we would be better able to confront and/or to oppose them. They would indeed be classed as aliens (if they exist).
Our science would thereby expand.

Maybe there are no aliens, maybe there are. It matters not, because if there are other civilizations they exist so greatly far away no one will ever meet them and they will not meet us.

We had VERY good drone and remote control technology in the 50s. The B-29 Superfortress was used as a target for Nike Hercules missile systems during training exercises, allowing missile crews to practice tracking and intercepting high-altitude bombers. The Nike Hercules was designed to engage such aircraft, demonstrating its capabilities in air defense scenarios.

CPW Annual Report
https://is.gd/34oG7H
Lots of euphemistic language, but a useful report. Things of note:
- US Fish & Wildlife put the kibosh on CPW plans to import 10-15 additional wolves this past winter, which coupled with substantial mortality among the existing packs puts the sustainability of the project in danger.
-There were 10 known wolf deaths during the 12 month period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 with an interesting mix of causes as follows:
-2 shot & killed legally after crossing into Wyoming
-1 euthanized after bing caught in a legal coyote trap
-1 killed by a mountain lion
-1 killed by an automobile strike
-1 killed by CPW after attacking livestock
-1 died during capture by CPW for tracking collar maintenance
-3 cases still under investigation.
10 deaths in a year out of a population estimated at ~30, without new importation? Seems unlikely they will reach a self-sustaining population any time soon.

First, human beings are luminescent spiritual beings. We give off a beautiful infrared glow. We just can't see our own luminescence.
Second, the whole demon/alien thing may just be different vocabularies for the same phenomena. Is Leprosy caused by demons or aliens? If we didn't have the lenses to see the wee beasties, we'd still be debating. We'll likely need some tech advance to assimilate those beings into our understanding, assuming they truly exist as we think they do, conscious and acting upon our world with intent.

Plodding slowly through Dutch's show career, trying to piece it all together.
Dutch finished his championship late in 2010 and was shown as a special between 2011 and early 2015, when it became clear that he was ill. It turned out to be Cushing's Disease, and he died in September, 2015. One day before the 2013 Westminster KC show, he bloated and torsioned and thus was out of competition until late 2013.
I thought I had a complete record of the shows he competed in, but found out to my horror that half the records for 2014, a year where he was #1 Borzoi in Breed rankings, was missing, as were his 2015 shows.
From the AKC records, it should be possible to reconstruct those shows where he received a ribbon. From those same records, I can do a reasonable job of determining which shows he didn't appear in. But for shows I don't have where he walked and I can't account for his being absent, I'm SOL.
It won't make a difference in determining his lifetime points in Breed, All-Breed and Grand Champion, but it's still irksome.

Edited five chapters of my novel yesterday. Hoping for another five today, which will bring me pretty close to the end. So far, the story seems tight, without much fat, but my big problem is that, for a mystery set in Hollywood, there's not much actual movie-making going on. A lot of talk, but no visuals, which is what my two or three fans have told me they like.
And the book is short, coming in at barely 53K words. Anyway, we will see what happens as we go along.
Hope you all have a lovely day.

“If this be Coffee, bring me Tea. If this be Tea, bring me Coffee”.
The history of Coffee is interesting with a long and controversial, complicated history. The Arab world discovered it, but Moslems were divided on whether it was OK, or not.
The Italians brought it to Europe, and Coffee houses started popping up everywhere. The Pope at the time decided to try some, he thought it smelled good. Then he tried some, and everything was copacetic in Christendom, but it was a close run thing.
Both Tobacco and Coffee have been Capital offenses at various times in various places. Our betters know Best, don’t ya know.

gKWVE, you're comment seems to suggest that you are subscribing to the fallacious school-of-thought that science (reason) and religion are in conflict. I'm a mechanical engineer, but also a devout Catholic. I see no conflict: science answers questions concerning the material world, but cannot answer the big question -- WHY?

I think that's a good length for a novel. They've really gotten bloated over the years. I think one reason I prefer older books is that they get to the point.
Last night I crossed the 10,000 word line, and the rhythm of fiction writing is returning to me. I'm getting back into the mode of taking a break to do some character/plot development, working it through, and only then pushing things forward. Last week's pause was very helpful in that respect.
I'm also taking "thinking breaks" while I write, going on a brief walk to clear my head and get the blood pumping.
New characters are emerging as well, which is nice.

If you have eyes to see, it is so very obvious that they have given themselves over to the evil spirits. They reject rationality, and yet have these Utopian dreams -- that can only come about if they kill enough people.
My response to "I'm spiritual but not religious" (which always implies anti-Christianity) it that demons are spiritual beings, too. The answer is Jesus Christ.

My path to the Church was paved by reason. A spiritual understanding came much latter. I was raised to despise organized religion, but I was a military history addict from the moment I could read. In high school I discovered you could read the ancient sources directly, and so I began buying Tacitus, Livy, Arrian, etc.
In college I added history as a major, and dug even deeper. I learned how tenuous our links are in terms of written material, where huge assumptions are based on a single copy of a text. I also learn that we cross-check fragments and then look at archeology in order to determine what happened.
And then the big discovery: if you do that to the Gospels, you get an account more reliable than any other. All the """bible scholars""" who pick at minor flaws would fail utterly in the realm of military history. (They also use a grotesquely biased approach regarding Islam.)
So yes, reason can lead one to God.

Well said. When I attended his church I often heard John MacArthur say that creation is not a scientific topic. Because there were no witnesses (except God himself) and it’s not repeatable. If you can’t repeat or observe something by definition it’s outside the realm of science. BTW… that would apply to spiritual creatures like angels although they can and do take a physical form

Heh. And, this is just an aside re funding:
"For decades, conservationists have pushed for changes to U.S. 64, a busy two-lane highway to the popular Outer Banks that runs straight through the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge – one of just two places in the world where red wolves run free.
They may finally be getting their wish.
In late December, the Federal Highway Administration awarded the first grants under a new $125 million Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program. Unless the grants are somehow undone by President Donald Trump, part of the money will help state agencies and nonprofit groups rebuild a 2.5-mile section of the highway with fencing and a series of culverts, or small underpasses, to allow red wolves – as well as black bears, white-tailed deer and other animals – to pass safely underneath traffic.

But if there are provable, consistent laws and then a miracle happens, that's God saying "LOOK! LOOK RIGHT HERE! DO YOU GET IT?"
There are a lot of people who do make the mistake of concluding that faith is irrational and if they feel good, then they are on the right path. Certainly faith should bring you comfort, but good feelings can also cause you to castrate children and murder unborn babies. They are poor moral guideposts.
The people who corrupted that tranny no doubt felt very good about themselves, and how they were doing such wonderful work, and the people who opposed them must be hateful and bitter, because feelings never care about results. That's where irrational faith leads.

We had the Just War discussion a few weeks ago. The critics of the punitive expedition (it's not really a war) ignore the fact that the Iranian regime has been committing acts-of-war against the U.S. since 1979. Seizure of the embassy, and imprisonment of the the diplomatic staff should have been dealt with -- but Carter was a moralizing, inept coward.
On top of that, the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, supplying and funding the Iraqi guerrillas fighting U.S. and allied forces, funding terrorism around the world ... the list goes on. The Iranian regime was not minding its own business.

Pilots aboard Frontier Flight 4345, which was bound for Los Angeles International Airport, reported striking a “pedestrian” while taking off from the runway at Denver International Airport at 11:19 p.m, according to airport officials.
The unidentified person was at least partially sucked into one of the engines of the Airbus A321neo, which ignited the brief engine fire, ABC News reported, citing sources.

I was at Ramstein AB for about six weeks in July-August 2009. I stayed in an off-base hotel at the end of the runway. There was no A/C so I slept with the window open and every day at 0600, a C-17 took off, flying right overhead. What a wakeup.
By the time I rotated home, I was sleeping through it. On the first night back at home, I woke up at 6, wondering where the plane had gone. Took about a week to adjust.

A significant security breach too. Authorities were purportedly looking at some fencing that might have been breached and nobody noticed.
When Trump arrives on AF1 in Florida, it was noted that there was a clear view of the deplaning area from a location where a "tree stand" was located. No one came forward as the "owner."
The deplaning area was moved as a result. But, still, poor security.

Engines vary greatly. I recall chatting with a mechanic when i was with the 127th and he said the F-16s (which the flew at the time) were really sensitive. They had noise and other ways to scare off the geese, but from time to time they would get permits and cull the flocks.
He'd worked on the F-4, and said they were much more forgiving.

Even before the very first atomic bomb was even tested, before they were even 100 per cent certain that it would actually work, the military and political leaders knew that atomic bombs changed everything.
You simply cannot wait around to get attacked first, and then respond, and build up your defenses again, and reboot your armaments industry, start selling Victory bonds.

Exactly. It's similar reasoning that led me to reject the whole BS climate scam. If carbon dioxide is a "greenhouse gas", why has the concentration in ambient air remained at 0.3% for the past 30 years (industrial gas analyzers/ chromaographs are used somewhat regularly in my line of work). The answer is that plants absorb it, and higher concentrations result in more rapid diffusion across membranes. We may be generating more CO2 as a species, but the plants & trees just take it in more rapidly as a result. It's a rather incredible design.

Maybe there are no aliens, maybe there are. It matters not, because if there are other civilizations they exist so greatly far away no one will ever meet them and they will not meet us. For all intents and purposes, in this case, the two ideas (that alien civilizations exist and that they do not exist) are exactly the same. Equal.

Yeah, that's exactly right, assuming we don't meet the Grese People of Crisconia on Titan, it ain't happening.

But, actually meet?

It emerged in response to the challenge of Christian pacifism.
As I noted a couple of weeks ago, there has been a very elaborate info op designed to make us think that Pope Leo has repeatedly and directed attacked Trump, which he has not. Nor has the Vatican made a formal determination.
Much of Pope Leo's remarks that were couched as "responses to Trump" were taken out of context and referring to disputes within the African nations he was visiting at the time. There is a recording of him saying exactly this, that his remarks were written weeks ago and were about Africa.
To be sure, there are corrupt senior clergy who hate Trump and have attacked him. Blaise Cardinal Cupich is one of them. But the only party Leo has directly criticized are the mullahs, who Leo singled out as murdering their own people and condemned them.
But that doesn't hurt Trump, so it's not reported.

I wanted to have a couple of Masses said. The parish's envelopes for that purpose said that the usual stipend was $10, payable to the pastor.
I wrote to one of the curates with two questions. I was tickled to read somewhere that the Mass stipend should be such that the priest could enjoy a good meal, and $10 won't get you far. But I understood in some dioceses anything over a certain figure goes to the diocese. Father said that wasn't the case.
Also, does the priest saying the Mass get the stipend? He replied that I could if I wanted send the requests and stipends to him and he'd say the Masses for me. So it all worked out well.

Moving really heavy objects is always dangerous. Yeeting them off the deck of a ship and then catching them boomerang style is bonkers. It's like building the pyramids Globetrotter style, except the planes weigh five times as much as the blocks and the ground is moving. Oh, yeah, each of the blocks contains thousands of pounds of explosives, thousands of pounds of jet fuel, and engines that create mini tornados. Now, instead of stacking those heavy objects neatly, juggle them like circus act. Every day a carrier operates is more impressive to me than the Pyramids.

Speaking of Mass, I started receiving the Host while kneeling a couple of weeks ago. The first time I did it, the extraordinary minister (who was used to seeing me) raised an eyebrow. It does feel more respectful and appropriate.
It's also catching on. There are four kneelers that were once neglected but now see heavy use. I wonder if our new pastor will take the plunge and put in an altar rail. My old parish did that.

Just as we rightly never take legacy media reports about Trump as being anything other than propaganda, so should we look at reporting on the Vatican with the greatest of suspicion.
Several "Catholic Journalists" have been caught spreading outright fabrications over the last few weeks, and isn't it funny how abortion-loving, tranny-promoting Dems suddenly find the pope to be a source of moral leadership?

The “Just War” philosophy has s archaic and dangerous.
Posted by: Common Tater at May 09, 2026 10:15 AM (QVTZe)
I'm not sure that the theory of a "Just War' holds any weight any longer except as a nag.
What's replaced it, though, is the theory of a "Fair War" ie. we have to give our opponent a "fair" chance of killing us.
You can see this most clearly with the suicidal ROEs of the Obama and Biden administrations.
And even )ct & and the aftermath, gives us a great example.
The palis attacked the Israelis in a barbaric and animalistic attack of rape, murder, and brutalization aimed at civilians.
Why?
Because the poor little dears couldn't fight the massively armed Israelis any other way. And it was totally unfair for the Israeli to counter-attack in such an efficient manner giving the palis no chance of fighting back!!!!1111!!! *takes to fainting couch*
Anyway, "Fair War" is a more effective way of destroying the West as it paints any defense or conflict as the bully west beating up on poor little 3rd world victims for their innocent shenanigans.

Not immediately. There was a good summary article, but I read a lot of Catholic media and would have to remember who ran it before I could search the archives.
I will say this, though. Pope Leo is NOT Pope Francis. Pope Francis loved to spout off about everything, stir the pot and "make a mess." That was his thing.
Pope Leo has made a deliberate choice to not do that, and when he does say things, he does not name names. He does not call people out. So if you see him supposedly calling someone out, that's your clue it is a lie.
When he criticized Iran, he did so by saying "nations which use violence against peaceful protestors are to be condemned" or something to that effect. He does not want to do "hot takes." He has directly said that he is not a politician and doesn't talk like one.
He also has his hands full with rebel bishops and Germany once again flirting with heresy.

The trespasser on the runway was then struck by Frontier Airlines Flight 4345 during takeoff at high speed. The pilot stopped takeoff procedures immediately.
The Frontier plane was then quickly evacuated while law enforcement and firefighters responded.
Preliminary reports are 12 people were hurt, with 5 taken to the hospital.

Pope Leo is no longer an American. He is the head of state of the Holy See, and American politics are not his concern. He checked out on the political world when he became a monk, and has spent most of his adult life in Peru. He knows the politics of Peru, but is woefully out of data on what is happening here. He was the Superior General of his order and a bishop, both demanding jobs.

Just as we pray for God to not lead us into temptation, I beg Him to sharpen the investigators' minds and harden the prosecutors' hearts, so that each and every single one of the fraudsters will see a long stretch of hard time in Federal prison. Amen.

People compare the American Revolution to the French Revolution but America didn't have a revolution at all. It had a war of independence, led by the local elite class against a foreign master.
Both the French and the Russian revolutions were the upending of society with the old regime being replaced by provocateurs from the middle educated class, backed by the working class and the enlisted military. After the inevitable bloody factional fight among the victorious revolutionaries, the old regimes in France and Russia were completely replaced by new tyrants.
None of that happened in America.

The big criticism of the American Revolution in the 60s and 70s was that it was a rich man's revolution for rich men.

That crap started with Charles Beard claiming that the Founders did it for the bond money. "An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States" published in 1913. That claim lived on while Beard cancelled himself by opposing WWII.
And Beard's 'research' was picked apart by new historian scholars around the 1950's.
From wiki,
"Beginning at around 1950, historians argued that the Progressive interpretation was factually incorrect; they were led by Charles A. Barker, Philip Crowl, Richard P. McCormick, William Pool, Robert Thomas, John Munroe, Robert E. Brown and B. Kathryn Brown, and especially Forrest McDonald. McDonald in We The People: The Economic Origins of the Constitution (195
argued that Beard had misinterpreted the economic interests involved in writing the Constitution. Instead of two interests—landed and mercantile—which conflicted, McDonald asserted that there were three dozen identifiable interests that forced the delegates to bargain."

I think that is an overstatement. Basically there was a whole group of American Royalists centered around getting benefits from the Royal governors. And for the most part, they were expelled from the US and their lands, wealth, etc. were forfeited.
So in a sense, the Brits had created a whole set of Americans dependent on the crown for favors and jobs. They were expelled or exiled themselves when the Brits left.

Shay's Rebellion was primarily due to economic desperation and WAS centered around veterans. Whiskey Rebellion, not so much as over the mountains types were NOT that involved in the Revolution as a rule.
Basically, it was an economic issue, not so much a veteran issue in the Whiskey rebellion. It was cheap to ship whiskey from distillation which brought a good profit margin to Philadelphia, not so much to send grain over the mountain.
Those over the Appalachians were an unruly bunch that got used to anarchy on the frontiers and resented government reinstating order and taxes.

- Maybe we should just not install software for a bit. (Xe Iaso)
There's another new - or newish - Linux privilege escalation bug. It's literally called Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo.
But under the hood it's abusing the same module as yesterday's Dirty Frag, so if you already applied the mitigation for that, you're protected from CF2EB.
- Also, my recommendation is don't install Ubuntu 26.04 just yet. Unlike 24.04 which worked smoothly from release day, Ubuntu 26.04 still has some odd quirks. Particularly if you want to use it under WSL and integrate with JetBrains IDEs (CLion in this case, but they'll all be the same here) where it just doesn't work.
I went back to 24.04 and had no more issues.
Tech News
- Thousands of vibe-coded apps expose personal and corporate data to everyone on the internet. (Wired) (archive site)
AI coding tools are like hiring an autistic teenager to program for you. Great if your requirements are clearly defined and you check their work carefully.
But if you just blindly deploy whatever they produce, that's on you.
- AI slop is killing online communities. (rmoff)
It's not that AI is intrinsically bad, anymore than email is bad.
It's just that it makes being annoying far too easy:Material created with the assistance of AI is not bad in itself. It's the purpose to which it's put.
We need more spam filters.A good use of AI is when it enables people to do something they couldn't do before, to contribute to a community when they couldn't before. Done with the care and good intent of a human behind it, this is a nett positive.
Bad AI slop, on the other hand, is monkeys throwing crap over the fence for a purpose other than furthering the community. This includes spam, engagement farming, and simply thoughtless noise in a space which is not for that purpose.
- Mojo has gone beta. (Mojolang)
Mojo is a Python-like language (more so than, for example, Nim) that compiles directly to binary and has similar safety features to Rust. It's designed to work with Python in both directions: Importing Mojo modules into Python code, and importing Python code into Mojo programs, though apparently the latter is more robust than the former.
Not sure how well it works otherwise; the first release some years ago actually had a waiting list. At least now you can just click a link and download it. Well, you can't, but apparently you can install it with uv or pixi.

Engagement farming is posting frequently, expending the least effort necessary to elicit the maximum response possible from others. The purpose behind it is to please the platform's Almighty Algorithm, and get boosted higher in more users' suggested content list, e.g. in YouTube the seemingly random videos on the right.
Our own TJM has mentioned that doing even just two videos a week is a large investment of his time, but makes a big difference to The Algorithm. Naturally, many succumb to the temptation to use AI slop to throw more content out and harvest more engagement (views, likes, comments, etc.) with less effort. This can result in higher levels of monetization, which is to say that they get paid for making our lives a bit grimmer -- our experiences more artificed, and our time more wasted.
An even more degenerate form is found when highly gregarious people with very low socio-emotional intelligence just throw meaningless noise into the wind. They may feel the satisfaction of connection, but it's fake; they're hiding signal and degrading the user experience.

One of my requirements for a house is NO HOAs! I'll be a great neighbor. I'm not going to put old washing machines on my porch, or have broken-down cars on the lawn. But I don't want some officious nosey-parkers telling me I can't fly an American flag or paint my porch white because it violates their rules.

On the good news front, I guess, at least for some Canadians, I've seen a couple reports that Alberta has secured enough signatures to have a vote on leaving Canada. AOP would likely know more.
On the bad news front for Canada, I've posted this a couple times the last couple of days, ignored of course.

Imitrex. I know that one all too well.
Actual migraines tend to be one-sided (taking place in only one-half of the brain) and they're not so much a storm as a slowing down of the electrical activity like that half of the brain is going to sleep, or more disturbing: dying.
A patient hooked to an EEG at my neurologist's office experienced a migraine and he said the needles graphing the brain activity via sensors all over her head were moving as expected (a fair amount of activity), then a migraine started and the needles hooked to the sensors on the migraine side all started moving in a very slow sinusoidal motion. Those for the other side started getting more active (maybe to compensate?).
So you've got one side yelling at the offline side, "Are you there? HELLO?!" Could be the electrical storm you're referring to. His theory was that this might be the actual cause of the pain, the split brain one side active, one barely.

That’s a very good hypothesis, since one of the great mysteries of migraines is the actual source of the intense pain (since the brain contains no pain sensors)
I had something occur this week, researched it and it’s called a “vertigo attack”. I woke up feeling fine, then suddenly I felt dizzy and the room started to spin. Raced home while I still could, broke out into a full body sweat and then vomited intensely for 2 hours. That finally stopped, and after 2 or 3 hours laying down, everything was fine again (but the day was wrecked)
Best guess from my online search for a diagnosis is a temporary disturbance of the inner ear, set off by anything from electrolytes to bad blood sugar to something more serious. Sources agree on the symptoms, but there’s a million possible causes.

Shave and shower is next. Maybe around nine I'll drive out to the suburbs, have a coffee at a small local chain shop (they only have about two locations in town I know of), and stop at the cigar/pipe shop for some supplies. If it's raining, so much the better. Except for snow, there is not much better than to sit snugly in a coffee shop or a tobacconist, enjoying whatever, while the rain slashes down outside.

We hamstring and bring down innovators with an absolutely crushing amount of government regulation and delays. Energy companies don't want to try to build infrastructure here. There are other markets in the world that welcome their expertise and which they can make more money, more easily.
This article notes that government job growth is triple that of the private sector:
https://tinyurl.com/5fb2rnk7
A government job's wages are paid using the government's budget, ie, tax revenue on the private sector plus deficit spending (borrowing and thus devaluing the money.) You want less of that and more private sector jobs to keep your economy healthy. Not Canada though, it's going full boar into public sector jobs, where the pay and the benefits is now far better than private sector ones (on average.)
That's. Just. Insane.
Also: That which can not go on, will not go on.

I love the desert. But you have to be tough to live there. Tucson, AZ, for instance, is probably lovely in January and February. But I visited there in Jnne, and it hit 106 F. every day. That's halfway to boiling!

You're not wrong, Skip. The Laurentien elite in Canada love to reward their friends with grift money, taken from the people working in the private sector in multiple ways.
The so-called elite don't seem to care that if you kill the goose laying the golden eggs, you don't get anymore golden eggs. They think the goose can never actually be killed.

I love it as well, grew up in Phoenix, still have family there. But Phoenix is even hotter than Tucson, and one thing I remember from those hottest days in summer is there are days where the light is just too intense. By 2 or 3, everything looks whited out, like an overexposed photo, and you just want to stay indoors in a cool dark room. It feels like the bright side of the planet Mercury.
Posted by: Tom Servo at May 09, 2026 08:04 AM (25Mwa)
Except last summer i experienced a minor one, no idea why. I rummaged in my medicine cabinet and found my prescription anti-vert that expired 13 years ago. I figured it couldn't hurt so I took one, went to sleep, and woke up a couple hours later feeling fine.
Ask your doc for a prescription next time you go. It's very inexpensive, and lasts a long time! Before I got that, when I had a vertigo attack it would last for at least 24 hours.

It's a very complicated and messy corner that we've painted ourselves into, and continue to do so. We keep handing over political power to the 50-ish different tribes, and they keep using it to beat us over the head and demand more concessions.
It's madness and it needs to stop, but it won't, and it's yet another on a long list of reasons why we (Canada) aren't a serious nation and I doubt we ever will be again.

Dunno about you, but my current HOA rules were written by the same assholes similar to the corporate weasels in both incarnations of "The Running Man" movies.
When I lived in a less "upscale" neighborhood, our HOA was focused on the maintenance of a shared pond; the rules around that were less, shall we say, draconian that my current HOA.

Heh. One time our group chartered an relatively new motor yacht, bare boat, for a weekend cruise in Georgia Strait. Boat was built in Taiwan. Had a few glitches, but nothing serious. On the return leg, the guy on the helm steered hard aport, so we could see some sea lions. And the rudder stuck there. The wheel spun uselessly. We motored in tight circles, slowly drifting towards rocks with the tide. Me and another guy got rear deck hatch open, and crawled down into the transom area. Found a bunch of clothesline and plastic pulleys lying in the bilges. Brand new yacht, 1980-something, and it had cable steering? Pulley block in the port corner had pulled out of the wood. It had been hung on a big screw eye. I jammed the screw eye back in the hole, and cranked it as far as it could go, levering on the eye with some improvised prybar. Got the cable restrung, and we could steer again. Sheesh.

I work for a struggling automotive company you may or may not have heard of.
Well we recently got word that it had been discovered that parts from a particular supplier were discovered not to be within specifications.
The problem is, they are a structural component and their failure could endanger the safety of our customers.
You see, no one had been checking whether these parts were made correctly for TWO years.
Unsurprisingly, the parts failed a test recently conducted.
We left work that day thinking the company was as good as dead.
The fallout would have been a nightmare.
Days later we hear that allegedly the first test didn't count for some reason or another.
However, a second test was done and the part passed.
They declared it good.
So back to work almost as usual.
They are trying to tighten up their QC.

I wasn't given all the information, but the reason for disqualifying the first sounded flimsy.
As fir the parts, they ranged from a little under to a lot under spec.
Say the part needed to be 5mm thick to maintain integrity, what were were getting was anywhere from 4.2- 2.3 mm.

In all my time in manufacturing as an engineer, meaning in a position categorized as 'hired to invent', I only knew one person who got into any trouble and he was a senior exec in a small fastener house - say 'VP of Quality' and was complicit in falsifying aerospace fastener test results. Owner of the company went to jail as I recall, my friend plea bargained in return for testimony. Still ruined his career. Went into Real Estate. Probably made a bundle and retired at 50....

After getting burned a few times with yang poon brake shoes on the ancient harleys with drum brakes I made a few punches on the lathe to stake/peen the brake lining rivets.

I had 4 wheel drums all the way around on my old Ford and could get them to lock up in the extreme. You don’t want brakes to lock up, but they have to be capable of it.
Brake shoe linings need to be fitted to the arc of the drum surface for maximum surface contact, and as the drums wore oversize linings could be fitted for this reason. They had brake shoe arc grinders, probably not a great idea when asbestos was part of the program (and everyone in the shop smoked, natch)

My roadrunner has 3" wide brake shoes and 11" drums. They basically put police brakes on those cars. Even with those the fade was serious in that car. It would stop great...once. I was coming over a big ass bridge one day and traffic started backing up on the other side as I was heading downhill doing about 70 mph. I hit the brakes, no problem. I hit them again, yeah a wee bit difference. I hit them again and yeah they were definitely going to shit, and that was with fairly new brakes and drums. I did a disk brake conversion on it when I rebuilt the entire front suspension and steering and ended the bullshit. Even with manual disks it stops great.

Well, if anything gets overtaxed, it will be the lawn tractor's battery. I expect you will only need a one thousand pound winch. Unless you tie the tractor off to a tree or something, you cannot pull much more than the tractor's own weight. One of those little winches from Harbor Freight should do the trick. Pro tip: spool off the wire cable, and throw it away, and load the winch with some of that synthetic fiber winch lines that is now on the market, Spools much more neatly, and isn't murder on your hands.

I’m reading some spook books about the OSS, and it sounds like acid was used for mind bending even prior to the CIA glory years in the 1950s, “Wild Bill” Donovan was aware of it. The Nazis used Mescaline; “we haff vays of making you tokk!!” but it may be they scored some from the Swiss, who invented it.
Rudolf Hess, the #2 Nazi, famously flew a Messerchmitt 110 to England as part of a “peace” deal. While incarcerated, he made a complaint to the Red Cross that the British were poisoning his food. He was hallucinating, and claimed they were dosing his food with “Mexican brain poison” (mescaline) or maybe acid.

Teh Donald worked out a 3-day ceasefire between Ukes and russkis, which includes a 1K POW swap.
Presumably this ceasefire will be a bit quieter than the one in Lebanon, which ranks among my all-time favorites - barely a few hours stoppage in the festivities (though Beirut was off-limits, until a few days ago for a hit to good to pass up).

Been away since comment #6. Had some very important things to do, especially watching the Marx Bros' first film, The Cocoanuts. Then read up on the Marx Bros entry in Wikipedia, much of which I knew, but much I didn't. What an amazing family. Unmatched. Harpo on the Harp was always amazing; Chico was one of my inspirations/idols/heroes at the piano.

One evening in 1909, a performance at the Opera House in Nacogdoches, Texas was interrupted by shouts from outside about a runaway mule. The audience hurried out to see what was happening. Groucho was angered by the interruption and, when the audience returned, he made snide comments at their expense, including "Nacogdoches is full of roaches" and "the jackass is the flower of Tex-ass". Instead of becoming angry, the audience laughed. The family then realized that it had potential as a comic troupe.
And now it's too late to continue. Catch y'all on the coffee and prayer thread. Or at least the pet garden thread.

Good workmanship and practices doesn’t work that way. It can go too far the other way.
I watched guys want to use synthetic brake fluid in ancient brake systems. There isn’t really any advantage. It’s expensive, a royal bitch to bleed. The usual complaint when finally accomplished, is mushy brakes. DOT 3 is excellent.
“But conventional brake fluid absorbs water!”
Yeah. It’s supposed to absorb water. In the old school systems the master cylinder was vented to the open air. If brake fluid didn’t absorb moisture or condensation, it would potentially boil in the summer - Guess what? That means no brakes whatsoever. And in the winter - potentially freeze, meaning … no brakes whatsoever.
It isn’t like the engineers fucked up when they decided on brake fluid.

The album cover, designed by Hipgnosis (specifically Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson), features a collage of naked children climbing the basalt columns of Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. The image was inspired by the ending of Arthur C. Clarke’s novel Childhood's End, which depicts children gathering before ascending to another plane of existence.

... next month a Hollywood production by Stephen Spielberg is being released.
The Spielberg movie is called “Disclosure Day,” and the plot of the movie is the U.S. government informing the American people that alternative life systems, essentially alien entities, exist in our universe.

Match Personality: Choose a name that reflects your crow's behavior.
Consider Color: Names like Shadow or Jet highlight their black feathers.
Keep It Simple: Short names are easier for crows to recognize.
Selecting a name that resonates with your crow's character can strengthen your bond and make the experience more enjoyable.

Speaking of "Disclosure", there were some pastors, particularly one Evangelical pastor named Perry Stone, who claimed the Trump admin intel officials had summoned them to some "secret meeting" to warn them to prepare their flocks for the forthcoming disclosure of alien life.
Turns out this was more a "friend" told him stuff.
But then, another pastor claimed some Congressman from Missouri said something "disturbing" I'd call it, and then he was forced to apologize when Rep. Eric Burlison called him out and said he said no such thing as he was quoted.
But in the process, he apparently did admit that he spoke to some group of pastors in a meeting about this.

Had a relatively mild thunderstorm here in NE Land of the Red Man this afternoon, but with just a light sprinkling of rain. Now the evening sun is shining brightly on the land and buildings, contrasting sharply with the dark clouds retreating to the east.☀️
Rain was great for the garden. Maybe not quite so great for Daisy the Okie Malinois who wants to run around and chase a soggy dirty tennis ball. She doesn't mind, but she'll need to be toweled off thoroughly afterward. Can't be helped.🐕
Here's a pic MiladyJo took - doesn't quite do justice to the spectacular evening light.

Possibilities is not a bad name for a crow. It is distinctive and sounds important. A crow could feel important being referred to by a five-syllable name.
One day I will go back to discussing crows, and how they are the opposite of a trigger for me, they are a "glimmer" which is those moments that indicate good things and good feelings are there and probably will show up soon if they aren't already there.
Like triggers, the more you look for a glimmer, the more likely you are to discover them as they flit past.

Do I extrapolate too generously from Isaiah
Who created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it,
Who did not create it in vain,
Who formed it to be inhabited
that this applies to all worlds which can support life, and beings who can know and love the Creator?
I like the joke about the alien and the earthling, talking about Jesus. The alien says Jesus comes to visit them all the time. The earthling, puzzled, says we're still waiting for his second coming. The alien is surprised. He says, when Jesus comes to us, we celebrate with feasting and joy. Why, how did you treat him when he came to you?

Everyone thinks they're worth more than they actually are. I read an article about how people thought that their starting salaries out of college would be about $20k+ more than actual starting salaries. The same holds true for trades on a slightly smaller scale. They also thought they would advance to higher salaries at a faster rate than was realistic.

The final form of evil is nihilism, a desire to end everything, to destroy the world. This is why they are so obsessed with pushing "assisted suicide" and killing babies. The void in their souls consumes them, so they seek to consume others.
Motherhood is the antithesis of this, the creation of life. it is a selfless, loving act. Women give of themselves, suffer the pain of childbirth to bring forth new life. This is abhorrent to them. Mothers must therefore be vilified, and no honor can be given to them.
The first rule of leftism is that the sacred must always be defiled.

Democrats Melt Down Over Virginia Supreme Court Ruling, with Socialist Democrat Influencer Hasan Piker Demanding Violent Revolution and the "Smart" Commentators of the Left Unable to Read a Simple Court Decision
The left is spamming out wholly ignorant objections to the ruling.
A major one is: But other states passed new maps! Why can't Virginia pass a new map?!?!HeadquartersBy the way: When they say "Without a vote," they mean without a public vote on a referendum. Do you know why there was no public vote on a referendum in those states? That's right, because those other states didn't require a constitutional change to pass the new map, so there was no referendum.
@HQNewsNow Republicans: Pass new maps in Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas ALL without a vote -- upheld Democrats: Pass new maps in Virginia with a vote from the will of the people -- overturned Make it make sense.
To be more specific: States like Virginia wanted to Virtue Signal that they were anti-gerrymandering (which they're not, they just wanted to lock in the current gerrymander they approved of) so they passed a constitutional amendment limiting gerrymandering. Then, just to show the left believes in nothing they claim to believe, they attempted to undo that amendment through a rushed and unconstitutional process. The other states always left this power in the hands of the legislature, so the legislature is able to change the maps with a vote. It's not so hard to understand is it? Aren't you the guys always claiming that you're the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM)? Are you entirely incapable of reading anything but BlueSky for your "research"? Another stupid objection they keep on making: If this process was deficient from the very beginning -- which the Court ruled it was -- why didn't the Court make this ruling earlier? This is a hilarious one. The Virginia Supreme Court was going to rule on whether this process was adequate or defective -- but the Democrats pushing the new map insisted that it was illegal for the Court to rule on the referendum before the referendum had been voted on and was entirely concluded. The Democrats themselves insisted that the Court had no power to rule on this except after the referendum was voted on and was in the process of being implemented. The Court read the Democrats' arguments and... agreed. Here's another Smartest Kid in the Class (TM) Sam Stein babbling that this wasn't "handled" correctly. What he means is, if this was f***ed up, why didn't you stop us earlier?
Charles C. W. Cooke
@charlescwcooke Okay. I'll "make it make sense." Virginia has a constitution that applies in Virginia but not in those other states, and the government of Virginia did not follow that constitution, which is illegal.
Will SaletanWith an ugly mug like that, you'd think he would know how to read.
@saletan Can someone explain why--if this was the court's basis for nullifying the redistricting measure--the court didn't rule this way when the challenge arose before the referendum? It looks like the court waited to see which side would win, and then intervened.
The Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) -- just ask them, they'll tell you they're the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) -- keep asking the same questions and people keep posting the same link to the same publicly-published court opinion. And the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) continue refusing to read a fairly straightforward opinion, not super-cluttered with legalese. They don't read, because the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) are above reading. They just know through Diverse Lived Experiences. They're treating this opinion like it's The Hound of the Baskervilles or something. I mean, come on. It's not that hard. Meanwhile, the violent communist and terrorist cheerleader that the Democrats all insist is a moderate mainstream voice calls for violence. AGAIN.
Greg Price
@greg_price11 In the end, Virginia's ridiculously long early voting period is what sunk the Virginia referendum. Amending the VA Constitution requires two votes in the General Assembly with an intervening election in between. The first vote in the redistricting referendum was 40 days into early voting in 2025, when over 1.3M people had voted. Hilariously, the key argument made by the lawyers in favor of the referendum was that only Election Day counts as the election.
hasanabi
@hasanthehun the va supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum. scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state. those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable

If the president gets to disobey the law and impose illegal laws, the rule of law doesn’t exist. It means the country’s broken af, but that’s the game now.
Appeal to the Supreme Court and let them show how strictly partisan they are. Hypocrisy goes hand in hand with Republican and Christian values in my personal experience
Democrats must stop playing by the rules. Because the Republicans aren’t. They turned it into a street fight, so the Democrats need to stop caring about the rules and follow the Republicans’ example.
We’re at a breaking point with blatant partisan courts. Virginia residents VOTED FOR THIS. Ignore the court order and go full steam ahead.
People have no faith in their president or Congress. Now they have no faith in the court system. Once they have no faith in the voting process, the system falls apart.

Because the whole point of the decision is that the Virginia state government violated the rights of Virginia citizens.
I'm beginning to think we need a Million MAGA March on the Mall (a la the Bonus Army) to put a little fear into our congresscritters about adhering to their oath to the Constitution.

The US Constitution guarantees a REPUBLICAN form of State Governments... ie... one where they have a Constitution that is their highest State Law.
Can you VOTE to ignore your own Constitution, as both VA and CALIF did? and still be a Republic?

Then create a truth commission. Ruin the lives of every one you can find (who were nkt your plants) and justvsit back.

------------------------------
Data from the Minnesota secretary of state shows that 18,898 people used “vouching” to either update their voter registration, or become registered to vote, in Minnesota in 2024. That information was obtained by America First Legal in a data request.
Under Minnesota state law, an individual seeking to become registered to vote on Election Day can confirm their residency simply by having a registered voter “vouch” for them. In short, the registered voter signs an oath confirming the unregistered person’s address.
State law allows a registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight people. However, staff at residential facilities are not bound by the eight-person vouching limit. The state’s voter vouching system was recently criticized by congressional Republicans.

There is no way the Virginia court could have ruled in favor of Democrats and kept legitimacy. This wasn’t about one constitutional issue, there were several that created layers of issues.
There will be a time, place and court where they don’t care. This wasn’t it. Let’s see how long before that happens.
Corrupt courts and election fraud are our biggest enemies. And yet, Thune and frauds like Murkowski won’t pass the SAVE Act.

And they are idiots for it.
If there was ever a time to, at least, pass a national ID requirement to vote it's right now, this year.
Scrap the rest of the SAVE Act, fine.
But if they were to pass an ID requirement, alone, it would destroy the Dems rigging in every blue state major city, and perhaps give the GOP a chance in some states while exposing the Dems for the cheats they are by opposing it.

@saletan
Can someone explain why--if this was the court's basis for nullifying the redistricting measure--the court didn't rule this way when the challenge arose before the referendum?
It looks like the court waited to see which side would win, and then intervened."
Pro tip, the courts can't rule on something that hasn't happened yet.

Clear your local area in local elections. Use networks of like-minded people, not party organizations. School boards are only one front.
City and County supervisors need strong conservatives. The T.E.A. party was a power of good, until infiltrated.

I don't see how the SCOTUS has any jurisdiction.
It's a state constitutional matter decided by the state supreme court.
I suppose they could review it, but I don't see how the VA Supremes have done anything wrong by ruling based on the law in their own constitution.

Actually, a closer analogy would be the late 19th Century, where you had a massive wave of assassinations, with the support of much of the intellectual and upper classes of Russia.
This culminated in assassinating the Czar in 1881.

Either way, it was the right thing to do.
Several states, mine included, were being unconstituionally forced to carve out districts so that one minority group would have a majority and who, incidentally of course, always voted in a Democrat.
It was an illegal move by the DOJ that lased for three or four decades and it should've been abandoned years ago.
So this is not really gerrymandering for these specific states, but realignment to a lawful, fair, constitutional reality.

Prediction based on experience: a lot of people will talk violence expecting someone else to do it. Where reasonable arguments end, the quest for progressive violence begins.
You will get a few lone wolf attacks. They will be dealt with harshly. You may even get riots in blue cities. Nobody will care. If they try to take violence into red states, they will find very quickly it is a dead end.
BTW a lot of the violence angle is being seeded and pushed by foreign actors including Russia and China. It has been part of their strategy for a long time. That why a lot of the threat actors will be standing with their dicks in their hand, alone right before they’re DRT.

Piker insulted half his audience over Pragmata.
Saying incel gamers shouldn't bother thinking about having children because they'll never get a woman, was.... a little short-sighted on his part.
Unless his audience is exclusively LGTBQ+, single female incels, and angry AWFLS, I don't see how he didn't turn off most of the left-wing young men who listen to him with that rant.
ShoeOnHead masterfully gelded him.

It isn't even necessary, because there are still two or three more fatal flaws with the redistricting, and IANAL but it looks like courts stop at the first good reason to say 'No'. They don't do a deep dive and explain all of the other reasons too, so if Virginia only 'cures' the first one by trying again after the next election, then they will find out what the second fatal flaw is. And then if they cure that one, then they will find out the third.
But as an operational principle, ramping the pressure up when they're already nonplussed and disorganized is a good way to keep them from regrouping and coming back stronger. So, go for de-retrocession of Alexandria County! Make all those Treacherous Bureaucrats, who imagine themselves to be our masters, live in the city they work in. They *deserve* it.

Communism can best be thought of as an inversion of Christianity: it purports to have Utopian ideals, but requires the commissions of the Sins of Pride, Wrath, Envy and Theft. Since Communists emphasize only the material, they view people as things, and deny their personhood. Thus, the mass slaughter is a feature, not a bug.
Ironically, for a bunch of atheists, they have a spiritual attachment to their ideology. It certainly makes Satan amused.

Only really bad calzone I've had were store-bought in a plastic container from Food Lion. The cheese in it was iffy as they had so much preservatives in it that it was like eating string cheese. Took forever in the oven to properly melt, like double the time on the directions.
I bought two or three of them with different ingredients to see if they were better and finally gave up.

I don't think so. A lot of their funding has been cut, and whenever they go beyond generically urging other people to violence and threaten it themselves, they get arrested. So they just pine for someone else, with a job and money for a gun and maybe even a girlfriend, will risk it all so they don't have to.
They have the psychopaths who are fully capable of random ultraviolence, but if they were as organized as all that then they could be successful in business instead. This is not a country lacking in opportunities, where capable men have no other recourse or path to success but revolution.

About 400AD, after the Romans left Great Britain the Angles, Saxons and the Jutes migrated into the southeastern and middle pareas of the island, bringing their Germanic language with them. The Anglo Saxon language was profoundly shape by the French dialect of the Normans in 1066 AD after William the Conquerer, who had a claim to the crown, invaded and...
...so the words found in decision, written in Modern English, follow that language's vocabulary, grammar and syntax to express the logic and reason found in the underlying law, has a regular and distinct meaning understood by those who are conversant in that language.

Let us all take a moment to honor the true heroes that built America: Somali who got here in 199fucking9.
#Cult. The Spencer Pratt ads -- both his own and the ones created by supporters -- are outstanding and true political entertainment. Spencer Pratt's calm, cool, and well-prepared debate performance is making leftwing shit-blogs like Axios worry about the many-decades bill of Democrat governing incompetence finally coming due.The two most consequential races in California have devolved into twin spectacles, with years of visible dysfunction hollowing out Democrats' case for competent leadership. Why it matters: California is the ultimate paradox of Democratic rule. A state of immense wealth, innovation and cultural power is increasingly unable to deliver the basics of housing, public safety and disaster response. The big picture: Those failures have been building for years. But COVID and last year's catastrophic fires have transformed long-simmering frustration with California governance into a visceral public indictment of the people running the state -- one now playing out in the races for governor and Los Angeles mayor.Psst: It's not a "paradox" that socialism turns rich orderly societies into poor chaotic ones. It's happened every single time. Yes, you will need a photo ID to enter Barack Obama's ugly Soviet Konstuktivist library of lies.

Michigan's attorney general, a Democrat, announced 16 felony charges against major Democratic donor Fay Beydoun on Wednesday, alleging that she used a $20 million state grant to enrich herself.
State records cited by investigators said Beydoun's company received an initial $10 million deposit on April 1, 2023, from a $20 million state grant intended to attract more business activity to Michigan. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel alleges Beydoun instead used grant funds for personal enrichment, including maintaining a $550,000 annual salary.

I recently learned this (can't believe I'd never read or heard before) after meeting a neighbor on a nearby hiking trail (we're both ex-Marathon runners): your calves are like a second heart; and similarly to the way your heart is the pump for your circulatory vascular system, your calves are a critical extrinsic pump for your circulatory lymphatic system -- AKA the venous muscle pump.
Your lymphatic system relies on skeletal muscle contractions to propel lymph fluid against gravity and hydrostatic pressure, particularly from the lower extremities back toward the heart.

It's all part of their magical thinking. They literally believe that if you just mouth the right incantations, say the right words in the right way, you can change the world to your desired outcome.
It's why they are always so keen on "messaging." The policy can NEVER be wrong, so they have to keep changing their "message" until their incantation yields the correct result.

When your pal is Sneako, the future terror bomber Islamist, that tells you he was never on the level anyway. My guess, is like Qatarlson and now Me-Again, he was bought by Muzzies and Deep Staters years ago.
And his other buddy was the wretched pos Milo who snuck him into the Trump White House in exile at Mar a Lago causing some negative press hits. Milo gravitated to MTG as her social media director and now being cut loose, took up with Candace Owens and co. Probably to pay for his drug use. These creeps were never on our side in the first place---good riddance to both of them.

The 2nd Congressional race in 2020 was won by a Republican 53.7% to 46.3%. Can't have that in a Communist blue state can we.
The 2022 race was won by a Democrat 50.3% to 49.6% (or exactly 350 votes for those keeping score) that included a stunning come from behind win that included taking a few key precincts days after election day, something like 85% to 15% if I recall correctly and I mostly do.
Those precincts were all located in a part of Las Cruces where the cops spend a disproportionate amount of time hauling people off to jail for offensives that include drugs, domestic violence, felons in possession of firearms, failure to appear, theft, robbery, etc. Remarkably, these "voters", in between committing civic mayhem, were able to find the time to make sure a Democrat won that election.
Some people still call that a stolen election. I call it an example of an exuberant electorate doing election stuff.
To make sure that the Democrats wouldn't have to deal with that again they promptly redistricted the Republican part of existence.

Yep. Results don't matter to them, same as other true Commies, what matters is thinking and signalling correctly to the other peeps in the cause aka woke.

And is why the death penalty or life in prison without parole is the way to 'fix' pedophiles and rapists. They don't want to be 'fixed' is why.
Society needs to do that not only to punish them for the present crime but to prevent future victims which is something that the commies are actually incapable of understanding--it is never root causes, 'oppression', or whatever their current claim du jour is.
The root cause is that the pervert rapists do it because they enjoy it, it gives them kicks to do it, and they will continue to do it unless put in prison for life (perhaps not then), or put to death.

There are many more trails open for bikes now than there were fifty years ago. The bikes for those, of course, are trail bikes. Were I still riding, I would do trail riding around here.
Here in Delaware, nearly all roads that are not designated highways have almost no shoulder and locations where you can pull over when motor vehicular traffic becomes too intense.

DOJ Will Denaturalize 12 Cultural Enrichment Officers Who Lied About Their War Crimes and Support for Terrorism
But what about looting and pillaging?
DOJ Moves To Denaturalize Alleged Terrorists And War CriminalsThe Cultural Enrichment Officers are all from a diverse array of races which makes this very, very racist.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is moving to denaturalize 12 individuals for offenses and allegations including providing material support to terrorism, war crimes and sexual abuse of a minor, the Daily Caller has learned. The DOJ is expected to announce on Friday that it is filing denaturalizing actions against 12 individuals, originally from Iraq, Colombia, Morocco, Somalia, Gambia, Bolivia, Uzbekistan, Kenya, India, China and Nigeria.
Say, Ilhan "Omar's" father is a war criminal and genocidal warlord, isn't he? Meanwhile, a Cultural Enrichment Officer who thinks you're a racist and are not accepting enough of her and her culture organized a "Muslims Only" day at a waterpark. Hmm, does that mean we can arrange a No-Muslims Day? No, right? Oh did I mention the waterpark in question is taxpayer funded?
Ali Yousif Ahmed, a native of Iraq, is one of the individuals the DOJ says they are taking action against. Ahmed came to the U.S. in 2009, claiming his family was attacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Ten years later, Iraq asked the U.S. to extradite Ahmed to Iraq, claiming he was facing criminal charges for the premeditated murder of two Iraqi police officers in 2006. "Upon further investigation, United States learned that, in 2015, Ahmed illegally procured his naturalization, which warrants his denaturalization, because he lied under oath about his criminal and family history when he sought admission to the United States and naturalized as a U.S. citizen," a document on the denaturalization process and shared with the Caller read.
Khalid Ouazzani, a native of Morocco, applied for U.S. citizenship in 2005 and then again a year later, according to the DOJ. Ouazzani was allegedly "planning--with two men later convicted of trying to bomb the New York Stock exchange--ways to support AlQaida" in 2003. Then after being naturalized, Ouazzani pleaded guilty to sending al-Qaida tens of thousands of dollars with money he had fraudulently obtained Ouazzani also took a pledge of pledge of allegiance in 2008 to al-Qaida. The DOJ is also looking to strip Baboucarr Mboob, a native of Gambia, of his naturalization, claiming he was involved in war crimes, the Caller learned. Mboob was a military police officer in the Gambian army and participated in the execution of six officers following the orders from his commanding officer who believed were victims in plotting a counter-coup against then President Yahya Jammeh, according to the DOJ. Mboob concealed his involvement in the war crimes during the naturalization process, but later admitted to executing his fellow officers, the DOJ told the Caller.
A "Muslim only" event at a taxpayer-funded Texas water park has been canceled following criticism and threats by Gov. Greg Abbott to pull public safety grants. A local Islamic group had rented out the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie for its annual Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) "Epic Eid" celebration on June 1. Representatives for both the water park and the city of Grand Prairie sent the following statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday evening confirming the event is canceled: "After further review and in the best interest of the City of Grand Prairie, the June 1 EID event at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark has been canceled."And did I forget to mention that this Economic Powerhouse Who Built Our Country happens to own her very own "learing center"? And yes, she spelled it that way. And while this isn't being reported -- I'm 100% certain that the Excellence Early Learing Center is paid for by government funds.
The head of a Texas Islamic group that rented out a taxpayer-funded waterpark for an event that was advertised as "Muslim only" runs a childhood education center with the exact same unfortunate 'Learing Center' typo first seen at an infamous daycare in Minneapolis.
The "Excellence Early Learing Center," as its misspelled website header reads -- located in the Fort Worth suburb of Hurst -- offers a variety of programs for youngsters from infants to pre-K, and promises to provide children with "the loving, personal care that they need to thrive and feel confident." The center boasts "multiculturalism, small classroom sizes, healthy eating and a warm, loving environment that feels like home" and staff with degrees in "education, accounting, biology, pharmacology, science, nursing and mathematics from their home countries." Its owner, head operator and curriculum designer is Aminah Knight, who boasts a master's degree fro the University of Southern California and a doctorate from Vanderbilt University. Earlier this week, Knight and her DFW Epic Eid organization drew massive criticism for a flyer advertising an event at Epic Waters in Grand Prairie billed as "Muslim only" and requiring modest swimsuits for all attendees. Epic Waters, a sprawling, 80,000-square-feet indoor waterpark opened in 2017 at a cost of $88 million -- funded by a 0.25% sales tax hike residents approved at the ballot box in 2014. The FAQ for the third-annual event, which was being held to celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid, initially proclaimed "the entire waterpark has been exclusively reserved for Muslims."

Your Indiana analysis is incorrect. The Senate and I believe also the House have Republican supermajorities. The House is more MAGA, the Senate was already beginning to move in that direction, but with staggered elections in the Senate, it takes longer. Derry (who is in an auto recount) and one other loser made some pretty silly comments which was dumb by them. But over the next few elections the old guard will be gone. Indiana gutted the authority of public health officials after covid. Have struck hard against DEI programs in state Universities, and has state dollars fully following the child in k-12 - including to private (including religious) schools. The redistricting fiasco was caused by some tone deaf Trump comments. Virginia's game put those who disagreed in Indiana in the direct line of fire.

This sounds cool. But wait.
400 diapers will last a family with a newborn approximately five weeks.
The program will cost the state approx. $12.4 million this year alone.
That money will be funneled through a company called Baby2Baby, which will then provide their branded diapers to 400 participating in hospitals (California has over 500 hospitals in total.)
Meaning that instead of lowering taxes and letting families keep their own money to buy essentials like diapers, California takes their money, pumps it through a “nonprofit” that has overhead and whose CEO made $240,000 in 2024, to provide a “free” service available only in certain locations, and that you could have bought yourself for much cheaper.

Yes, California Governor Gavin Newsom authorized a massive, almost $1 billion, no-bid contract in April 2020 to purchase hundreds of millions of masks from Chinese automaker BYD. This move was intended to secure personal protective equipment (PPE) during shortages, though it faced scrutiny due to its high cost and lack of transparency.

"It’s not clear why the Justice Department has singled out the roughly 300 foreign-born Americans. The New York Times first reported the tally." seems pretty clear this is only just beginning and they're still just testing the waters, where they started slower but are now ramping up to less egregious cases
The phrase "naturalized citizen" is starting to feel a lot more like "citizen on a leash." If the government can just hit CTRL+Z on your status decades later, are you ever actually a peer to someone born here? This is going to create a permanent second class of Americans.

Dahabshiil Money Transfer
Word is that the DOJ is looking at them really closely because they are a Somali based company whose owner is the wealthies man in Somalia. They have branches right next to every sizeable Somali immigrant settlement in the US. It's thought they are the primary entity assisting in moving fraud proceeds out of the US. I hadn't seen an investigation into them before now, but the DOJ is moving on Portland, ME issue with Dahabshiil.

I think the list of benefactors is long and distinguished. About 6 months ago Sweden cracked down on a Somali run school in Gothenburg, Sweden. It's a rural area...but low and behold, there is a Dahabshiil Money Transfer branch right there in town. Million were stolen and tracked back to Somalia. You can bet where ever Somali immigrants reside, a Dahabshiil Money Transfer is right in the area for quick egress of ill gotten gains.

“There are no longer blue states and red states. There are authoritarian states and democracy states.”

I am here to confirm this as absolutely true and anyone who thinks in the same vein as Ms. Abrams should take note of this if they are at all considering Alabama as a destination. They should avoid it at all costs.

It has not passed my notice that most of the strongest players in the political arena are women. Why ? Is it because they've never been punched ? Or they look around and understand that nobody around them will throw one ?
Because that's not how it works on the job-site. And I've long noticed that men who aspire to be managers also conveniently forget that org charts and job titles don't create a force field. Sometimes, you have to remind them.
I seriously wonder, sometimes, if this Third Wave of Feminism is nothing more than young women that have never faced personal danger.

Reform Gains Over 1,300 Seats as Labour Loses Nearly 1,200
And there's still damage to come -- just 117 of the 136 councils have reported so far.
These are council (local) elections, not the general elections for Parliament (the national legislature), which do not have to be scheduled before 2029. But council members do have power locally -- and these elections are a mighty harbinger of what will come.
Politics UKThe SNP kept control in Scotland, with Reform gaining zero seats, because Scotland is a mess and not worth thinking about. Their Muslim First Minister Hamzi Yusef hates the actual Scottish people and gives fiery speeches denouncing the Scots. Keir Starmer, noted for his outreach to gay Ukrainian male model prostitutes -- just offering them a bad for the night, that kind of charity -- says that he's not stepping aside... sort of. What he actually said was that he would not walk away and "leave the party in disorder," which means, I'm pretty sure, that as soon as the party agrees on a successor, he will step down. He just doesn't want a big fight for control.
@PolitlcsUK 2h 🚨 BREAKING: Welsh Labour First Minister Eluned Morgan has lost her seat in the Senedd It's the first time in British history that a sitting head of Government has lost re-election to the house they led
Astute post from Maxi@AllForProgress on X. Applies to the US too. "There are the usual notes on procedure. People like my parents, Britain's ultimate swing voter category, were buried with doorknockers, and their earnest heartfelt pleas, in the final few weeks of campaigning. An avalanche of appeals after five years of having not a single party representative knocking on their doors, inquiring after them, or following up on their concerns. There is still no party on the slate that understands that such elections as these are won between campaigns, through diligent attention to voters and relentless follow-up, not with three weeks to go. This, to my mind, is the single greatest predictor of governmental success, and it's a test that none of the current bottle are passing. Whatever; the cumulative picture is the one we've watched forming for some time. Britain is shopping, rotating through every available political product, trying them on for size, and finding them generally wanting. The political market is wide open. The next general election will reward whoever spends the intervening period building something vast, intense, and serious. . ." Posted by: whigWhile the cowardly chattering classes acknowledge the catastrophe, they refuse to address the reasons for it. They resort to gauzy evasions like "The public just wanted a change." A change from what, exactly? Or "the public has lost faith in the traditional major parties." But why has the public lost faith, exactly? Or they'll claim that Keir Starmer just isn't charismatic. Yes, correct, he's a gray dullard who looks like he'd lose a naked wrestling match to Anderson Cooper*, but... couldn't there be other, more tangible reasons the public has made the longtime former Two Major Establishment Parties of the UK minor parties? What reasons might explain that, do you think? Say -- what was Reform's One Single Endlessly Repeated Campaign Promise, anyway? Maybe that could provide a clue to this Mystery. Even as the establishment faces a reckoning a long time coming, they still pretend away the reason for that reckoning.
That moment was a genuine turning point for me.

REF wins have tracked with the Brexit 2016 vote, hence their massive swings and hauls in the Old Labour hinterlands up north while doing so-so down south outside of decimating the Tories in their rural strongholds. LAB is done up north, and Andy Burnham had better find a safe seat in London to run in if he wants to be PM for a while, because running in any seat from Liverpool over to Manchester, Birmingham, and all the way over to the erstwhile Labour stronghold of Sunderland is a dicey proposition at best.

These are regularly scheduled local (council) elections.
This does not affect the makeup of Parliament, but it does show the relative strength of the different parties.
Council elections tend to have predictive power because England has relatively few elections and turnout for Council elections are on par with turnout for general elections.

1. Given the parliamentary system, is Reform likely to be in the saddle based on this showing?
2. Is Reform more likely to live up to its word than the Tories (who certainly did not)?

In any event, it was upheld by the Utah Supreme Court. Now the judge who wrote the decision is resigning, effective immediately. Why? To "spend time with her family" after the state started investigating her affair with the Democrat lead attorney in the redistricting case. I wish I was making this up. I'm not sorry to see her go; I argued multiple times in front of her and was never all that impressed, though she isn't an idiot like Jackson Brown.
So yes, Utah has a gerrymandered to the hilt Democrat seat, courtesy 100% of lawfare from Democrats. That won't last. I'm not sure Democrats will even win the election this fall.

The potential replacements, like Rayner and Burnham, have major problems of their own, and the party is hemorraging support to Reform on the one side and the Greens (and Muslim independents) on the other.
Starmer may continue as PM for a while, not just because of his own addiction to power (though that is a major factor) but because the party has no obvious alternative.

Deport each and every refuge...now. Don't care about the cost, don't care about the humanity, deport today, deport tomorrow, deport for the forceable future. All of them. Every last one that isn't a native-born citizen.
Look, 20 years ago there could be some reasonable accommodations. Exceptions. But they abused every exception, ignored every chance at compromise.
Stop the boats? Easy - pick them up, drive them to fucking Heathrow airport, and stick them on the next plane to wherever they came from. If they burn their documents, stick them in detention until they tell you where they are from. The boats will stop tomorrow - you just changed the risk/reward.
Overall, just stop fucking about.
Look at Trump - he's deported 500,000, and another 2.5 million left voluntarily. Britian could send a couple hundred thousand home, and a couple of million would just leave on their own.
And look, who should you send home? Easy - start with every single immigrant on any sort of public assistance.

If the polls are right (I said *if*, TJM), Reform would have a plurality but not a majority in Parliament if the election occurred today, making a coalition with the Tories necessary.
As for the second part, my answer would be yes; but that's such a low bar to clear it doesn't mean much in reality.

We are living through a fake revolt and a real revolt. The fake one is the rallying of student towns, leafy suburbs and digital radicals around the Green Party. Some of these Zack Polanski enthusiasts might have multi-coloured hair and pose for selfies at Marx’s grave in Highgate, but don’t be fooled: they are lining up behind the entirely reactionary cause of identity politics, no more growth, dicks in women’s bathrooms and Islamist grievance. The true revolt is coming from the working classes, who want Britain’s borders repaired, our history respected and democracy to have meaning.
Pick your side: the matcha Marxism of a keffyeh-smothered activist class that doesn’t know what a woman is, or the patient but unflinching plea for a restoration of normalcy being made by the men and women of the Red Wall.

The whole idea of representative government is elected officials are supposed to be afraid of being voted out if they don't do what the voters want and yet throughout the western world at a certain point pols just completely stopped caring about it.
For example, after the '94 midterms Clinton and the dems spent a lot of time talking about how they were going to change what they were doing because the voters had spoken...

Reform aimed at maximizing votes by wanting less taxes, end of Net Zero stupidity, less spending, less immigration.
Restore came about because Farange tried to put Lowe in the frame for criminal charges and expelled Lowe from the party for being anti immigrant. Lowe ended up keeping his seat in Parliament and founded Restore around his MP constituency in Greater Yarmouth. Now, Restore focused all its efforts on that council and came out gangbusters winning all the challenged seats by whopping big majorities.
Lowe figured developing a new party without carefully screening the candidates and moving slowly to actually achieving something was better than running as the alternative to the big parties. Reform is a coalitional party with a lot of upsides and downsides and now has to show it can govern the local councils that it took over. So we shall see. What is clear is that the Tories and Labour have seen their best days in the past.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is moving to denaturalize 12 individuals for offenses and allegations including providing material support to terrorism, war crimes and sexual abuse of a minor, the Daily Caller has learned.
The DOJ is expected to announce on Friday that it is filing denaturalizing actions against 12 individuals, originally from Iraq, Colombia, Morocco, Somalia, Gambia, Bolivia, Uzbekistan, Kenya, India, China and Nigeria.

It isn't just Labour. The Tories are also taking a hit. The Little Englanders' unhappiness with Brexit is that they don't think that they have had enough Brexit. Hence the shift from the Tories to Reform.
UK is less cynical than America. There is a want for a hopeful future in the UK. Labour haven't presented a vision for it. They are running around chasing votes with no higher plan. People are voting Green and Reform because they have strong visions of future Britain. Both parties know exactly what they want.
The lesson that Progressives and Leftists keep trying to convince Moderate and Conservative Democrats who want to run to the Center-Right to appeal to "non-Trump" Republicans. They'll either hesitantly still vote Far-Right or just sit out.
The lesson should be "Don't import millions of Muslim immigrants when you don't have enough housing for them".
But Labour won't understand what they did wrong.

Farange aimed for power first with Reform rather than ideological consistency with his candidates. My guess is that he did it to take over the Conservative party in a forced merger.
Lowe is the real reformer here and is trying to organically create an ideologically sound party from the ground up and Farange expelled Lowe from the Reform party because Lowe demanded an end to immigration in the UK.

Which is ultimately why all accrediting agencies are going to have to be killed off. The law schools moved left in part due to DEI, in part, due to universities serving as a giant sorting hat kicking the right to the curb.
So less qualified applicants from the Right and even those are selected more for being a survivor of culture wars at uni than ideological warriors.
So the left has come to dominate law schools ideologically as well. The old time liberals gave way to the leftists that are at heart Gramcians.

Not necessarily. The council elections are all the English public has to weigh in on between a Parliamentary GE, so it's a useful barometer of where the public is at. About 25% of the country's population votes in a given year, otherwise, REF could easily be winning 5000 local seats instead of just 1300+ (probably closer to 1400-1500 when the last returns come in, fourteen councils to go). The extrapolated national vote from the Beeb is 26% REF, 18% GRN, 17% each for LAB and CON, and the LDs at 16%. If that happened at the next GE (a lot will change before then, but run with it), REF will be pushing up against a majority of its own:
National Prediction: Reform short 3 of majority
CON 50
GRN 87
LAB 37
LIB 81
Plaid 6
SNP 45
OTH 6
N.Ire. 18
Reform 323

Don't know the state of play on denaturalizations, so can't say, but my impression (ready to be corrected) is that lower courts continue to ignore not just the law (including laws excluding them from jurisdiction - which has to be a new low in judicial lawlessness) but in many cases their superiors in the judiciary.
It's systemic rot, it's not new, it's just even more pernicious than ever due to an executive actually fulfilling their duties and enforcing laws. At least so it seems.
Results are all that matter, I'm not terribly confident the results will be anywhere close to what they should be or won't be erased in a nano-second by the next racist-totalitarian administration, but will gladly take whatever squeaks through for now.

California has a lot of natural oil seeps, that is oil into the ocean. They estimate it accounts for ~120,000 barrels a day, or 5,000,000 gallons per day.
There is one site that seeps ~ 150 BLD, and has been active for 500,000 years. My boss at one time tried to get it under control. He is a brilliant engineer but he failed just like everyone else.
Just a bit of info for reference.

Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions
Many of those 'immigrants' came during the Tory years lest we forget. This is the uniparty in the West--immigrants for cheap labor, bolstering the wealthy via consumption and impoverishing the middle class of existing citizens.
Brad Little (GOP governor and alleged conservative) was caught in Idaho at a private meeting with Big Ag mouthing the same shit--citizens don't want to work, they demand too much, and we should keep and protect the masses of illegal farmworkers so that the big farmers and big Ag can make more bucks.

Something I did not need as I have dealt with various harfing family members since Tuesday pm til 5am today. Son is home now and I am free from advice! I did not mind as this is love.
Not the love is love rainbow gay kind, either. My grands who take up a huge part of my heart needed me as well as DIL. I am a pretty dang great MIL compared to the snarky one I had, patting my own back.
I guess GAINZZ in not eating much! A new diet plan!
When sons and husband got sick this is how I dealt with it: the blahs. Like Seinfeld I can count on one hand the harfings of life. Three viruses, and two from drinking too much in college. I may be a lot of things, but not a harfer or a mean MIL.

Many of the illegals that have been let in are the dregs of their respective societies, as Mexico will attest. They don't *work*. So it's not labor. And it's definitely not compassion.

A vote of non-confidence is what brings down a minority government, usually on a money bill. Labour has a huge majority. If Starmer is to be forced out, it must be from a ground swell within the ranks of Labour, forcing a leadership review within the party. If he is replaced as party leader, the his replacement becomes PM, and Labour continues to own the Government.

Yes, backroom deals to get rid of him. But if he doesn't want to be got rid of, he stays.
Labour has been in a soft rebellion against him for 2 years. He's had ministers resign trying to set it off.
Only way to get rid of Starmer is vote of no confidence. And since the majority is so big, Labour would have to be part of it.

The midlands and north are being taken by Reform. Greens are chewing up Labour around the south and in particuarly in London, but have only won control of four councils (LAB has lost 32 and held 27, REF and the LibDems have split the overall control gains).

The only way that could possibly happen is if a large number of Labours MP's cross the floor, reducing Labour to a minority, and then the Leader of the Opposition rises on a motion of non-confidence.
Pigs will fly before that happens.

Off topic, but I looked this up for last thread so I'll post it.
California has a lot of natural oil seeps, that is oil into the ocean. They estimate it accounts for ~120,000 barrels a day, or 5,000,000 gallons per day.
There is one site that seeps ~ 150 BLD, and has been active for 500,000 years. My boss at one time tried to get it under control. He is a brilliant engineer but he failed just like everyone else.
Just a bit of info for reference.

Doesn't help that about every two years the local TV news on the Central CA coast would start caterwauling about tar balls on the beaches, screaming that the Evil Oil Companies were dumping oil in the ocean. Apparently, to be dicks.
Then a few weeks later they'd issue a quiet correction at the end of the 11:00pm evening news "Oh, those tar balls have always been there. They're natural, and the Chumash tribes would use the tar to waterproof their canoes. Our bad."
I remember at least three cycles if not more of this bullshit from the 20 years I lived there.

But that does not reduce my desire to see it.

Starmer will just go, "Fuck you," to everyone in the party because he knows that any force to get rid of him leads to snap elections which wipes out Labour. He has no incentive to agree to leave. He waits out the bad news cycle and is still king of patronage and policy.
Which he's been doing for 2 years.

The idea behind it is that it can react quickly to events because a loss of a vote can force a quick election. But if there are more than 2 parties allowed, the fact of no majority makes awful coalition governments the rule once unipartyism takes hold of all parties.

You'll laugh at my reasoning for why this is happening. Puppies...doggos.
Muslims were complaining that they didn't feel safe visiting or living in northern UK because many of the current residents have dogs that don't require a leash. They're pets and farm dogs.
So, the local municipalities started trying to push restrictions on pet ownership and leash laws on personal property. Don't mess with a Brits dog. Additionally, they held events to entice Muslims into that area, and they left the area covered in trash and filth. That resonated with the generational occupants.

You kinda used to, but these days there is a 5 year term where an election must be held before. You can call it early if you think you can do better now rather than at the end of term and the clock resets.
PM can be voted out of power internally by his own party. Or forced to resign first, which is how Churchill got in over Chamberlain in WWII.

The last two years have shown Starmer won't resign for anything from the riots 2 years ago to the accusations of the Ukraine rent boys to the aid/Epstein thing to this.

Curl up. Don't stick a limb out in an effort to break your fall.
OTOH, maybe a broken arm is less of hassle than having you face a smashed up because you fell into broken glass or something.

He can be forced out without a general election. Labor has a majority in the House of Commons, so they can call a Labour leadership vote independent of a general election.

Megyn Kelly’s producer is just as baffled as Kelly as to why people are turning on her, believing the only possible explanation must be some kind of botted conspiracy.
Lemme guess. She's become a gutter-mouthed apologist for what clearly are fringe voters cosplaying on the Right?
When folks can quite readily find that you had held positions scarcely six months ago (not "beliefs", mind you) in direct opposition to what you are now voicing, they are well served to consider you as not having a firm portfolio of core values.

Can only happen before the party session, once a year.
Last one was Sept-Oct of last year. No leadership vote at all, even though Starmer was deeply unpopular and beset by controversy then.
Call me when there are actual moves against Starmer instead of the feminine backbiting.

Still...Starmer's been beset by controversy for literally 2 years and there's been no move on it.
Probably because there's no way to whip the Labour party around a single candidate.

I am pleased to announce that there will be a THREE DAY CEASEFIRE (May 9th, 10th, and 11th) in the War between Russia and Ukraine. The Celebration in Russia is for Victory Day but, likewise, in Ukraine, because they were also a big part and factor of World War II. This Ceasefire will include a suspension of all kinetic activity, and also a prison swap of 1,000 prisoners from each Country. This request was made directly by me, and I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War. Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"Oil spill recovery boats and mechanical skimming systems typically recover only a small fraction of large offshore spills, often less than 10-15%. While 10–30% is a traditional "rule of thumb" estimate, studies suggest real-world, large-scale mechanical recovery is often only 2–6%.

essentially, useless. volatiles evaporate and the stuff on the surface gets with the water as an emulsion. Some heavy stuff even sinks.
It can be scooped out, centrifuged (I think that is what they do) to separate. and used as,... I don't know what. No one would want it.
But in M. E. where oil spurts out of the ground, any recovery would cost 100x the value of the oil. and even then at best you have bunker fuel or asphalt. What goes into the sea, stays in the sea.

Oil spills aren't great for the water, and they do temporarily kill a lot of fish and wildlife. But the oil itself is eventually broken down and consumed by bacteria. If this didn't happen, the world's oceans would be covered in oil from billions of years of volcanic and oil eruptions.

AI sez -
Waterfowl typically migrate to the Persian Gulf during the winter months, taking advantage of the region's milder climate and rich food resources. This migration is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to escape harsher conditions in their breeding grounds.
Understanding the waterfowl species and their habitats in the Persian Gulf is vital for conservation efforts and maintaining biodiversity in the region.

The Iranian people rising is not a matter of concern for us, or at least it shouldn't be.
1.) It seems highly unlikely to happen, without direct involvement on the ground by us.
2.) If it does, it's highly likely the Islamists among *them* would prevail, not the pro-Western Persian populace of the large cities.
3.) Even if, against the odds, our friendlies did pull out a win, they would immediately and permanently be at war with the Islamists, until they got toppled.
I sincerely hope we can wash our hands of Iran before getting caught in that shitstorm.

Why I check there to see if there are normal people returning I don't know. I need to stop as it makes me want to argue and yell and stab and not good for an optimist.
I honestly don't understand doom people. It's like they hedge their bets on depression. I guess so they can say, "I told you so!" Not a great way to live.
I accidently called my neurotic SIL yesterday, which was pretty funny as I was trying to call my husband (who was downstairs but I didn't feel like finding him or yelling...this house is soundproof anyway). Apparently I did was not careful in the selection of numbers. I was super nice to her, which surprised even me. She's a gloom and doom caster as well. I did good this week with her and juggling puking grands and DIL up the mountain in the middle of the night.
Also am organizing by ordering organizers from Amazon for one closet I hate.
This concludes my productivity for the week. I will garden today and someday love the dahlias and whatever comes up.

No, it won't burn on its own. There are ways, involving creating a big wick, but making sure the wicking material floats, doesn't absorb water, only oil, and getting it hot enough.in the first place make it extremely unlikely that it could be burned.

Virginia Supreme Court tosses Dem-backed redistricting map, upending expected 10--1 edge
Republicans in Virginia celebrate a circuit court ruling that the Democrat-led redistricting map was unconstitutional. Salena Zito, a Pittsburgh-based columnist, joined 'Fox & Friends First' to react. The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday invalidated a new, voter-approved redistricting map, delivering a significant victory for Republicans in the state ahead of the fast-approaching 2026 midterm elections. "We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia," the Virginia Supreme Court said in the ruling. "This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy."
The Virginia Supreme Court heard oral arguments last month over the newly passed congressional map, which voters in the state approved by a narrow 51% to 49% margin. The ballot measure would have given the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature -- rather than the state's current nonpartisan commission -- temporary redistricting power through 2030. It was also expected to yield a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge.lol lol lol lol lol, Lousie Lucas smokes more pot than JackStraw lol lol.

@greg_price11 Democrats spent north of $80 million on the Virginia referendum. Almost half of it came from Hakeem Jeffries' personal 501(c)4, House Majority Forward. Louise Lucas, Don Scott, and Abigail Spanberger exerted so much of their political capital to get it passed. All to be stuffed into a locker by SCOVA for the blatantly unconstitutional way they got it on the ballot.

And the GOP spent nothing.
I'm not defending the GOP on this. They weren't predicting wins either at the electoral level or in the legal fight. They were absent.
But it looks like genius in retrospect. A happy accident.

341 7 Barely 11,000 votes were cast out of 90,000 registered voters, representing a 12% turnout. The conservatives lost by a 52/48 margin, each losing by less than 500 votes. If the 79,000 non-voters have any complaints about the left’s woke agenda, they forsook the most important place to stop it – their local schools.
Keep staying home, you dipshits.

This is why I've been saying the 2026 election was actually rather low stakes.
In terms of policy, there'd be almost no change with Dems taking the House (they have no chance of taking the Senate).
We'd get impeachment theater that goes nowhere for 2 years and pretty much nothing else (ICE being fully funded for enforcement through 2028 and the rest of DHS going to be also fully funded like that with the new reconciliation bill will help that along).

"There are the usual notes on procedure. People like my parents, Britain's ultimate swing voter category, were buried with doorknockers, and their earnest heartfelt pleas, in the final few weeks of campaigning. An avalanche of appeals after five years of having not a single party representative knocking on their doors, inquiring after them, or following up on their concerns.
There is still no party on the slate that understands that such elections as these are won between campaigns, through diligent attention to voters and relentless follow-up, not with three weeks to go. This, to my mind, is the single greatest predictor of governmental success, and it's a test that none of the current bottle are passing.
Whatever; the cumulative picture is the one we've watched forming for some time. Britain is shopping, rotating through every available political product, trying them on for size, and finding them generally wanting.
The political market is wide open. The next general election will reward whoever spends the intervening period building something vast, intense, and serious. . ."

It matters. Mostly regular procedure in 2026 in budgeting. Doing that again this biennial term means it becomes reestablished more and returns more power to the members than leadership staffs.
It also means fewer and fewer McConnell acolytes in the Senate. Cornyn is likely gone, Cassidy appears to be so. Mitch gone. And Murcow is facing the electorate in 2028, possibly without Ranked Choice voting to save her ass this time.
The massive fraud investigations must continue and that is the heart of corruption that is bankrupting the US. Keeping the Senate while neutering GOPe types helps make sure of that.

Wrong - they have to pass it again AFTER next year's election, so in 2028 after the new folks are seated. There must be an intervening election and the court found that hasn't yet for a 2nd vote to happen yet.
So, 2028. Then the voters vote again.
Gives Dems time to fix any other issues with the current amendment and just revote one that will pass all SC muster in this term, when it's an easy pass.

The wording of the referendum and the violation of the requirements to show the proposed map, etc, were submitted as a second case. It's now mooted because of this ruling. Agree though that it was on their minds. People at work have been thinking SCOVA would have rather ruled on this particular technical issue than wade into how a referendum is written.

The Senate is not in play at all.
Dems would have to win NC (50/50), ME ( Platner? HA!), Texas (HA!), and one other, all while holding onto GA (Fulton is being investigated so Ossoff is a darkhorse for losing), and MI (nominating El-Sayed makes it a toss up at least).

Two schools of thought. The first is that they simply got greedy. The second is that they tanked this so intentionally so they knew it would get overturned and have a talking point about political courts disenfranchising people's votes so they could fire up the base for midterms.
It's probably the first. Spanberger and the Virginia Dems aren't that clever for the second.

They didn't start panicking last year and pushing this til other states had started the process changing their electoral districts (remember, VA voters had voted in a "we are gonna have fair distrcits" amendment, just back in 2020). By then, VA had started early voting for the 2025 state elections b/c thanks to Ds, we have one of the earliest and longest voting period for elections.
AKA - they got what was coming to them by the changes to elections they themselves made.

Things in politics are usually exactly what they look like they are.
Spanburger and co figured the SC would rubber stamp whatever they wanted and they could produce enough ballots in the deep blue areas to win and that was all the consideration they took into it.

It either started with Biden's DOJ suing Texas over its maps or Hochul doing the mid-decade redistricting a couple of years ago.
What really set off the rush was Newsom making Texas' new map about himself which led to the reprisals and escalations. The left could have stopped when Indiana stopped their process, but VA just went full lobster.
And now the state level GOPs have an example of what happens when they appease the left on the issue and VA doesn't have a new map.

Wrong - they have to pass it again AFTER next year's election, so in 2028 after the new folks are seated. There must be an intervening election and the court found that hasn't yet for a 2nd vote to happen yet.
So, 2028. Then the voters vote again.
Gives Dems time to fix any other issues with the current amendment and just revote one that will pass all SC muster in this term, when it's an easy pass.
Posted by: Nova Local at May 08, 2026 12:58 PM (tOcjL)
They are running out of time to hold this year's primary and get all the necessary ducks in a row for the November election.

Court majority based its ruling on the fact that voting had already begun so there could not be the intervening election required by the VA Constitution. There, one proposes an amendment to the Constitution, has to wait an general election before then allowing the public to vote upon it. VA Dems pushed through the referendum last fall DURING the voting for VA state general election so there could not be another intervening general election before passage.
The Dems claimed that it was okay because the 2025 general election day for counting votes had not yet occurred when the special session voted the referendum--thus they would not have to wait until 2027 general election for the referendum to pass. It could be done now.
Since the referendum was unconstitutional on that basis alone, no need to get into other issues.

Certainly.
Also another factor that they ignored. Virginia has always had a very uneasy balance between Northern VA (Fairfax, Arlington, etc) and the rest of the state. For decades it's been an issue. Having something like this referendum shut out all of the rest of the state creates serious stress to that balance. Carpetbaggers don't appreciate it at all.

Virginia’s growth rate has significantly slowed. NOVA is losing population and the gains are being made outside Fairfax and Arlington. One of the main factors maintaining population are illegal immigrants who don’t legally vote.
There’s already scrutiny of the governors race and the referendum vote integrity.
It was critical this get done now, before all those factors converge. It’s why they rushed it unconstitutionally, and counted on the court to save them.

Two years of an unimpressive Republican majority, even if they drag their feet on Trump's agenda, is 1,000 times better than 2 years of a Dem majority.
With endless impeachment theater, hearings on every single phony, made-up scandal, and constant votes on issues favorable to the left.
And Johnson has proven himself several times that, even with 4 seats, he will pass Trump's "must-pass."
So maybe we can stop with the "but the Republicans won't do anything in the House!"

According to the state constitution, any amendment to same must be passed by two successive GAs with an election in between, before going to the voters.
This amendment was raised during a special session at the end of Youngkin's term, that was raised to reconcile the budget.
That's significant, because any business raised in a session NOT having to do with the reason for which it was convened must pass by a supermajority.
A week before the election of spamburglar, the redistricting passed on a simple majority is special session.
They counted that as first GA passage.
A couple months later, when spam and the new GA were sworn in, they immediately passed it again, right before early voting on it began--which didn't meet 90-day notice for special elections.
The whole thing was crap that should be burned in a fire.

You gotta have the footsoldiers as local DA's to run the investigations. And a GOP Senate Judiciary that insists on following blue slip policies allowing Dems to prevent any local DAs and district judges being appointed is key to keeping the fraud alive.
Until we have the actual candidates and see how they run, any conclusions on Senate races almost rely on a 53 seat GOP or higher because of the Murkowski, Collins, Thune, and whoever is next from McConnell's acolytes. Lose one or two GOP seats in 2026, McConnell's acolytes run the chamber.

I think it was because SCOVA doesn't rule until after elections as a matter of course and precedent. It views an election as part of the legislative process where it's inappropriate to get involved. Same reasoning that the Court can't rule a bill unconstitutional before it's signed into law.

Youngkin did a Schwarzenegger. Arnold ran as a reformer in California but could not get any state legislative seats and win the referendums to get any of his policies in place. So he sat on his ass and let the Dems run the state in his place after his first defeats. Youngkin did something similar after he lost big in the state legislative races in 2023. Last two years were mainly cruising.
VA GOP has been dysfunctional for a long time like some other places like GA GOP or even Indiana. They win races by diminishing margins but keep the corporate spice flowing until the GOP loses control of the state. They refuse to do anything for their base voters, only donors. So the party base shrinks over time to indifference to the state GOP rather than something to vote for.

It shocks me they weren't allowing that. You want something to get there, eventually, just route it via USPS.
I had a piece of hardware that came out of Canada several years ago. Let's call it a "java encoder." It shipped from the source via UPS, where it was routed to the states, then flagged by Customs and never delivered. It was confiscated.
I reached out to the shipper and advised the issue and they sent another one, via Canadian Post which transferred to USPS. I received it 7 days later.

Dunno. I think a lot of that fundraising was bogus ActBlue channelling of illegal contributions. Plus the leftward lurch of Democrats in places like NYC, Chicago, and the California/Washington wealth taxes is giving the Democrat corporatist whale donor class heebie jeebies.
The problem for the donor class for Dems is that they may like the anything goes on social legislation but start in on wealth taxes--that affects them personally as they have to leave the jurisdiction in order to keep their money.

the Dems haven't had to face real elections since the 1950s--they simply cannot comprehend how much it's going to hurt them in 2030, when they don't have 20+ guaranteed seats in red states.
And those states add another 20 seats apportioned from their blue states.

I'd rather the GOP stand up their own ballot harvesting operation. As insurance. Because the Democrats surely will not cease their attempts to steal elections by any means necessary.
It would be funny if they tried to tell us that 300,000,000 votes was 'normal.'

I think there's a chance that the 2032 maps could be a shift of as many as 40 seats from blue states to red states.
There's 7 or so already marked as improperly assigned from the last census (swing of 14 right there).
And then the great migration and deportations and, possibly, no illegals counted at all. Should the last happen, it could be as many as 50.
Imagine a world where California loses 8 seats at once.

Fundraising has not been going that well for Democrats this cycle and the ActBlue investigations are putting a chill in trying to further new criminal acts there. The truth is with computer designed districts, unless there are huge political events like the Iranians nuking someone or a massive 2008 financial meltdown this September, this is more like Clinton's last midterm in 1998 rather than 2018, 2010, or even 2006.
Status quo election. Donors may pass on this go around and aim more at 2028 because that is critical for the Dems because of control during the 2030 Census and deportation of their illegal alien friendz.
Dems need a trifecta in 2028 to jam through their program of packing the Courts, running the Census, and amnesty/open borders again before the clock runs out on them.

The rest of the state GOPs are not as feckless as West Coast GOPe. GOPe in WA, OR, and CA are basically Stockholm syndrome that sympathize with their Dem oppressors.
Most of this dysfunction is driven by the big party donors that want things that the base voters don't want. Like open borders for cheap labor, government spending fraud to boost real estate development prices and large retailers, free trade so that the GOPe types can sell out American assets or outsource labor to places like India, endless corporate tax breaks, etc.
And those donors are embedded in state political organizations like ticks--they make sure the state parties obey their interests--the state parties in turn then make sure their package of political consultants for candidates (complete finance, campaign, and legal compliance teams) do what the big donors want.
This has flown under the radar but Brad Little, governor of Idaho, is in trouble because a recording of his meeting with Big Ag in his state shows he aims to protect their illegal labor.

They have used him for the last two years to catch spears for unpopular policies while they go about trying to remake the UK. The Cabinet types are probably fine with Starmer continuing to play the sacrificial lamb until about a year before general elections if they make it that far without calling a snap election. But the backbenchers are pissed--they won't get a chance for cabinet and their friends, spouses, etc. were losing seats back home.

It is merely coincidental that that is also an immigration term.

18 percent for the party in the polls and only 40 percent approval for Labor voters *before* this defeat is likely to cause some kind of reaction in Labor itself.

It may but what is flying under the radar is that the Conservative party is being gutted. My guess is that the remaining Tories are going to have a shotgun wedding with Reform soon for the next general elections. Labour is probably dead--the smarter voters seemed to migrate toward the Lib Democrats, the Islamists and leftists to the Green party (or ethnic parties in the Scotland and Wales assemblies).
There is really no purpose for a Labour party without its working class and that is what Reform has done--separate the white working class from the Fabian racial and economic socialists that are now looking at the Green Party for their future.

Which is just a snarky way of conceding that your entire case is: well, we're just gonna win without Trump. Even though we all know Trump has brought in voters that other GOP candidates have not been able to, and has only managed to win narrowly (with small vote totals in several states being the difference between victory and defeat).

I guess the efforts by the DOJ and Judicial Watch to clean up voter rolls (800,000 in Oregon alone) along with the Fulton County investigation are completely meaningless because Trump is magic.

The Gutting of the Tories was Last election - partially self inflicted when they conspired against Reform to keep their national government seats down. But many voters specifically voted to punish the Tories. And a lot of Tories did go to Reform already, which is why Restore is getting such growth, they suspect a watering down is happening. Last election Labor had fewer votes than the election before but won tons of seats due to the collusion and Tory defections.
Posted by: Oldcat at May 08, 2026 02:10 PM (8avO+)
So your "analysis" based on all the "new information" that I'm ignoring is that Oregon is now in play for Republicans? That doesn't seem very sober.
along with the Fulton County investigation
That's good. Of course, if successful it amounts only to reclaiming a firmly GOP state for the GOP. It's necessary but not at all sufficient. The GOP has to be able to retain the Blue wall states Trump picked up. As far as I know, there's no evidence that Vance, Rubio, or anyone else is likely to do that.

THE MORNING RANT: School Board and Down Ballot Races Are the Most Important Races You Can Vote in this Cycle
Two Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board members backed by conservative PAC Patriot Mobile were among three incumbents voted out Saturday in a sweeping change for a district already facing major decisions. The results mean the far-right conservative group no longer has a majority on the GCISD Board of Trustees.Barely 11,000 votes were cast out of 90,000 registered voters, representing a 12% turnout. The conservatives lost by a 52/48 margin, each losing by less than 500 votes. If the 79,000 non-voters have any complaints about the left’s woke agenda, they forsook the most important place to stop it – their local schools. Sometimes a little research is necessary to vet the candidates, but a few minutes researching a race is time better spent on politics than watching cable news. There’s also a pretty easy shortcut to determine who are the actual conservatives in down ballot races - watch the yard sign people. The neighbor who proudly puts out Trump signs, or who currently has a Paxton sign in his yard, can probably be trusted to also have yard signs of the real conservatives in local races. (I’m aware that this is more of a challenge in deep blue areas, since putting out a Republican yard sign can be an invitation to vandalism.)
As reported by CNBC based on documents released by the California Attorney General, Amazon would send links to its vendors showing competitors (such as Wal Mart and Home depot) undercutting Amazon’s pricing. If the vendor did not pressure the competitor to raise the price being charged to consumers, Amazon would throttle visibility on its web site for the vendor’s products.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
My latest piece at The American Spectator has been published: “Price Gouging, Now Personalized Thanks to Surveillance Pricing & Collusion”

Truth. Our heavily conservative small rural Northern AZ city (of 40,000+) has had its Mayor and City Council taken over last year 6-1 by carpetbagging Califzuelan NIMBY No-Growth Commies with the help of millions of dollars of outside money (mostly out-of-state and Maricopa County Lefty billionaires and political PACs).
Our county is the most conservative in AZ, voting around 70% Republican with over 80% turnout in most state-wide elections ... but hardly any run for office and election turnout for off-year city elections is underwhelming. Ugh ...

We had a bunch of signs stolen in my neighborhood that opposed the running of power lines to fuel a data center in VA (I'm in MD). The thieves were caught red-handed. The justification was that they were from a real estate company and the signs were driving down property values.

I live in an area that has become very blue. One of the main problems is actually finding candidates to run for school bd and city council seats. The school budget is astronomical and 59 jobs were cut while the administrators got a raise. The administration has grown bigly over the years and that is the cost leader.

If this gets taken up in federal court, a few things:
1. Anything the lower courts demand regarding changes will get stayed and be out of effect.
2. SCOTUS will rule with the state court saying that states get to set their own rules because SCOTUS is not in the business of micromanaging districts (CA and TX rulings out front shoulda told ya).

Federal district courts cannot overrule a state supreme court on issues relating to interpreting state law or the state constitution. The state supreme court is the final word on interpretations of state law. As this redistricting was found unlawful under the state constitution, that is the end of the matter.
There's a wrinkle in that state courts can't interpret state law in a way that conflicts with federal law. For example, a state court can't rule that it's totally OK under state law to discriminate based on race. That violates federal protections against discrimination.
But I don't see anything like that here. I think the case is over, and we won big.

The remake is a mish-mash of tones and genres and none work well. It's comedy that isn't funny, a monster horror movie that's not horrible or scary, and a middle-aged buddy flick that doesn't work. Add in some sus cringe scenes and you have an unappealing movie.
Plus, the giant snake looks like shit, and seems to change size and appearance throughout the movie. I was thinking that there were actually two snakes, and that would be revealed at the end. Nah -- just shitty effects.
The most shocking thing about the movie was how terrible all the actors look. Jack Black is a fat slob -- he's gotta be 100 pounds heavier than his previous chubby self. Paul Rudd has got some weird botox going on. And the usually sexy Thandie Newton is frumpy, dowdy, and almost unrecognizable. What idiot did her hair and makeup like that??

Well, it's what happens when you do, "Anything anti-Trump is good" for a decade.
It did lead the GOP to going towards Trump, though, when we were pretty much no more than "Anything anti-Obama is good."
We just got lucky that Trump, the loud-mouthed real-estate mogul and reality star from NYC, was actually interested in the welfare of our country and the Democrats and GOPe worked together to promote him in the primary because they thought he'd be easy to beat with Hillary.
I'm not sure the Democrats can get equally lucky.

There’s also a pretty easy shortcut to determine who are the actual conservatives in down ballot races - watch the yard sign people. The neighbor who proudly puts out Trump signs, or who currently has a Paxton sign in his yard, can probably be trusted to also have yard signs of the real conservatives in local races. (I’m aware that this is more of a challenge in deep blue areas, since putting out a Republican yard sign can be an invitation to vandalism.)
Yard signs tell you where to find sources of Long Pig during the coming Donk commie cocksucker colander-facemask apockeyclips.

Vandalism may the least of their worries. In a lot of professions and industries, being outed as a non-moonbat means you're fired pretty quickly.
Things in blue areas, and blue-run companies, and in blue-run institutions are much much worse than those outside understand.
In some cities they'll put people on overpasses waving American flags and trump signs. There is someone off to the side with a camera recording who honks and waves; they have someone with license plate database access help dox the drivers and then try to get their employers firing them. No doubt some of this in some way gets paid for with tax dollars.

We were pumping a trillion dollars a year into these people's wallets and now a bunch of it is gone, and the rest is at risk, as is their LARPing about being the good guys, and they are losing their fucking minds.

I think Sound of Thunder is underrated. It was cheapy made, which hurts an effects-heavy sci-fi movie, but it was well put together, had some really good moments/scenes, and was at least as good as some of the total garbage the movie critics fawn over. Peter Hyams is one of the most underrated directors out there.

Well, the vast majority are Hispanic, and most Hispanics consider themselves white like Italians do, so the integration from that is going to be quick.
The rest are fairly small overall in terms of population while their legal options are being cut off (H1-Bs are not getting green cards anymore) and no more are coming in.
All while the next standardbearer (Vance) is more anti-immigrant than Trump.

Oldest got to start catcher and played the entire game. And his pop to pop times and accuracy kept them from attempting stolen bases too casually, while he went two for three including a 2RBI single, and numerous stolen bases.
Our pitcher pitched the entire game (he's a beast who's even got a decent knuckleball) and got a HR single in the first inning that set the pace for the entire game.
Now on to summer baseball.

How many times do you see a starter cruising through the lineup and then they pull him after 100 pitches -- and the bullpen gets clobbered?
Where have you gone Nolan Ryan (who once threw threw 235 pitches in a 13-inning game)

My big pitcher crush has always been Maddux. No power pitcher by any means, but 33% "Command" versus 10% MLB average, and he was cerebral as they come.
I tried to get little to understand these stats when he gets frustrated if he's having trouble consistently locating his pitches. That guy was absolutely incredible.

And his victories at New Carthage and Zama were brilliant (less so at Zama because the result was not really in doubt) and yet Hannibal is the one talked about.
The Romans were... odd. They took defeats in a strange way. I would not be surprised to learn that they inflated the casualty figures at Cannae in order to make the defeat worse. It is like they were spurred on and energized by getting beaten and it just pissed them off more. They were pretty unique in the ancient world for that alone, as most other cultures tried to go with a 'ever victorious' narrative.

That said watching an Olerud grand slam send him to the showers during a late season Mets collapse that for once was not to be, remains one of the most fun times I've had at a game.

I am trying to get little to appreciate and enjoy the many games within the game that can be had, even with a loss or a losing season.
We got hosed by the townies setting themselves up with the dream team, while we get no coaching help and a lot of 1st years and ADD cases.
So even though we arguably have the best pitchers in the league I have seen thus far, it is a struggle to keep the kids' heads up.
GM is a great inspiration as to how much thought he put into his study of batters, pitch sequences, etc.
It unlocks a whole realm for little to enjoy striking out batters by trying to read them and considering his pitch sequences. So much fun to watch, too.

You know one thing that people overlook is how much of lemmings or sheep most people are. It is the videos from the Bee of Californians moving to Texas.
One reason people in blue enclaves (or how the internet works) get more and more left is that they are reinforced by their environment. Moving to red states takes them out of that bubble. Most people go with the flow. Sure there are exceptions, but most conform to their peer group that they interact with.
I dunno. Just a thought.

The Romans were... odd. They took defeats in a strange way. I would not be surprised to learn that they inflated the casualty figures at Cannae in order to make the defeat worse. It is like they were spurred on and energized by getting beaten and it just pissed them off more.

Very US Grant in that regard. During the Overland Campaign, Grant lost most of the battles (some of them horrifically like The Wilderness or Cold Harbor), but every time he lost, he kept the Army moving forward or maneuvering on Lee rather than pulling back to lick his wounds. Even with the horrific Northern casualties, the Army's morale was fairly high through the whole campaign, because troops throughout history have hated to retreat.
As to the Romans, it shows the difference between an army of soldiers vs an army of warriors. Soldiers will grind out a victorious campaign, but warriors only last as long as they have a string of victories to enhance their personal honor.

Yep - teddy would stick it in good for 10 pieces of silver. Plays the part as many have done before him. I remember when he blamed Trump and US (trump's supporters - over the line teddy faggot) for Hillary's paid agitators. Who is dumb enough to insult people you are trying to convert? Insult their candidate, fine. But not them. Asshole.

I guess most of us have problems with folks who faltered after Jan 5. For me it's Bongino. Some people see him as this super Trump supporter but directly after Jan 6, he was on the other side. He followed his audience back to supporting the J6ers. It's easy for us to demand others be courageous.

And we are going to keep the pressure on Republicans at every single state in the union, to ensure at the end of the day, that there is a fair, national map. Because we believe that it is the people who should decide who is in the majority in the next Congress. Not Donald Trump and MAGA extremists."

So I follow Steven E Kuhn for geopolitical perspectives. He created TAKE AMERICA BACK 'citizen-led movement to rebuild America' .
Purpose - same as Buck T's post - cover the local muni low turnout elections, but with provision of Tools.
Further Purpose - production of good candidates to fill 100s of empty seats every cycle.
Do check it out, and if worthy, promote.

One fine night, they leave the pool hall
Heading for the dance at the Arm'ry
Libertine men and scarlet women, and ragtime,
Shameless music
That'll grab your son, your daught with the arms of a jungle, animal instinct
Mass-steria!
Friends, the idle brain is the devil's playground!

"I started thinking about why I like country music and doing this show so much, and here's what I came up with, y'all.
"I like country music because it's about the things in life that really matter. It ain't about braggin' about how you're gonna mess somebody up, or how somebody ain't respectin' ya. It's about love, family, friends -- with a few beers, a cheap woman and a two-timin' man thrown in for spice. It doesn't take political sides, even with things as ugly as war. Instead, it celebrates the brave men and women who go to fight 'em, the price they pay to do it and the longin' we have for them to return home to the ones that they love.
"It's about kids and how there ain't nothin' like 'em. I get tired of hearin' about how bad kids are today, because there are a lot of great kids out there that just need somebody to love 'em and believe in 'em. Country folks love their kids and they will jack you up if you try to mess with 'em! ---

"People in country music don't forget the people that allow them to do what they do for a livin'. They sign autographs and they take pictures with the fans because they know without 'em most of us entertainers would be gettin' a lot dirtier in the course of our workday. We are thankful that people want to hear the songs and the jokes that we write. Country music doesn't have to be politically correct. We sing about God because we believe in Him. We are not trying to offend anybody, but the evidence that we have seen of Him in our small little lives trumps your opinion about whether or not He exists.
"We love country music because it touches us where we live. It's about mommas, and when they were hot, and when they are unappreciated, and when they were dyin'. It's about daddies and the difficulties they have sometimes at tellin' the people that they work so hard to protect and provide for how they feel about 'em.
"Country music is about new love and it's about old love. It's about gettin' drunk and gettin' sober. It's about leavin' and it's about comin' home. It's real music sung by real people for real people, the people that make up the backbone of this country."

Thomas Hart Benton
Cute with a theme.
Wikiart,in part, In 1973, at the age of 84, Thomas Hart Benton was asked to paint a mural for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. He was encouraged to take on the ambitious project by famous country music singer, Tex Ritter, who suggested that he paint a large visual summary of the roots of country music. The result was The Sources of Country Music (1975), a large multifigure composition that presents five distinct scenes describing the music of ordinary Americans.
The central motif is a barn dance with two fiddlers and a group of square dancers, which represent the dominant music of the American frontier. On the upper left of the painting, three women dressed for Sunday church sing with hymnals in their hands, emphasizing the importance of church music in Protestant America. In front of the church choir, he painted two barefoot mountain women that sing and play the dulcimer – a string instrument associated with the music of the Appalachian region in America. On the right, Benton added an armed cowboy singer strumming his guitar, an homage to Tex Ritter. ...
Reading all suggested.

The Morning Report — 5/ 8/26
First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. That's admirable. I am too and have been for a long time. But it's funny, this humanitarian crisis has been going on for years, and yet, unless I'm missing something, she's only found it in her heart to be concerned about it since Trump and Rubio began taking legitimate steps to put an end to it once and for all. If you'll recall, Jayapal and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) traveled to Cuba last month on the taxpayers' dime to "assess the humanitarian situation." The reality is that they took a five-day vacation (or what they called a "congressional delegation") to Cuba to meet with the regime and find new ways to bash Donald Trump. They went in with an agenda and opinions already formed and walked away with those opinions intact and using the same language the regime does about how Trump is hurting them with his sanctions and blockades... ...why in the heck is a sitting member of the U.S. Congress going behind the president's back and colluding with foreign countries in a way that directly goes against the president's current actions and foreign policy? Trump and Rubio are working to pressure the regime so that the Cuban people are finally free. They've also made it incredibly clear that the island nation as it stands with the regime in charge is a threat to the national security of the United States.But wait, there's more from another anti-American traitor . . and she's not even American literally!, and yet she holds public office?!
“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Former Minnesota State Rep. Kaohly Her declared. Her ran in the 2025 St. Paul mayoral election on a promise to fight ICE and protect illegal aliens. While she lost the election, the usual ‘ranked choice’ shenanigans that elevated Mamdani in New York City, and other urban leftists, put her ahead of Melvin Carter III who was not an illegal. In her inaugural address, Mayor Kaohly Her described federal immigration enforcement as an “unprecedented incursion that we must meet head on.” She spoke while surrounded by minority female politicians as well as Robert ‘Susan Kimblery’ Sylvester: a former deputy mayor who now claims to be a transgender woman. This secessionist rhetoric was soon paired with a secessionist ordinance commanding federal law enforcement not to operate on ‘city-owned property’ as if St. Paul had somehow seceded from the United States.Why are either of these evil filthy skanks not awaiting removal from our nation?! Jayapal deserves to at a minimum be removed from office and prosecuted for her actions along with anyone who aided and abetted her. But grabbing this admitted criminal illegal alien Kaohly and shipping her the hell out of the country is, or should be a snap, for ICE and/or the DOJ?! And let the rent-a-goon thugs try and stop it. Yeah, my blood is now at a slow simmer. Have a great weekend!

I do not care for the Sunni, or for any brand of Muslim - but I think they are, in fact, far “better” for us than the Shiite faction, who dream of the destruction of the world as part of their faith. Demonstrably so - Pakistan has had nukes for a couple of decades now, and since it’s widely known that the Saudis financed their development and construction, they could have had one or two anytime for the asking. They don’t want them, they understand it would just make them an even bigger target.
The instant the Shiites get their hands on a working nuke, we will know. Because they will use it.

While I am not a fan of "plant based" fake food, it seems to me that this report is fear mongering if compounds which exist on plants are found in foods created from plants.

2. These were local elections so the effect will be somewhat limited until they can get a new Parliament - which will probably be led by the Muslim Party after a few more years of Labour at the helm.

The complaint, filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , alleges that the nation’s largest teachers’ union allowed activists within the organization to harass Jewish members. At the NEA’s 2025 Representative Assembly—the group’s annual gathering—for instance, the union debated a resolution banning materials from the Anti-Defamation League from appearing in classrooms. During that debate, "delegates aligned with anti-Israel advocacy physically positioned themselves near Jewish Affairs Caucus members, shouted down Jewish participants, and created an atmosphere in which Jewish delegates reasonably feared retaliation and physical harm," the complaint details.

How Nazi of them. Broadening their ability to arrest peaceful protestors.
They're already doing their violence. This is just targeting potential resistance. Killed unions, led a multi-decade culture war against socialism, fought wars and assassinated communists, brutalized BLM, now it's just trying to smother any other movements in the crib.
The largest and most violent domestic terror group in the US is MAGA. Only one group of domestic terrorists planned a seditious conspiracy and attempted to overthrow the government.
If you're not anti-fascist, doesn't that make you pro-fascist? They’re speedrunning their whole project 2025 playbook.
They know Antifa isn’t an organization. Its an ideology. Now they can label anyone they don't like as a terrorist and throw them in jail/torture them.
I legitimately worry about Hasan Piker, especially lately. He's been all over Fox News for the last month thanks to the brouhaha kicked up by the radical centrists.

Xavier Becerra went to the television claiming that the Biden administration having lost track of children is mere “MAGA talking points.”
On air, he flippantly air quoted “lost kids,” as if it didn’t even happen. But the reality is, his agency was found to be looking the other way while kids were placed in unsafe conditions — likely with criminals — just to win political points.
Minimizing “lost children” to air quotes is awful. Especially considering that these were real kids. And there were a lot of them.

FOX Newz had a segment showing 3 videos. In 2 of them, I'd say a small drone was captured flying to or from someplace. IIRC, drones were marginally important back about 5 years ago... hardly any videos of them flying about, but lots of videos taken "by them."
A lot of what we'll likely see are probably new drone designs being tested. They don't have to adapt to a human pilot, so the ability to change directions in unconventional ways might account for their movements.
So.... no, they're not "real" UFO's. YMMV

Hey, man, you don't talk to Katie. You listen to her. She's enlarged my mind. She's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes she'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to her, right? And she'll just walk right by you. She won't even notice you. And suddenly she'll grab you, and she'll throw you in a corner, and she'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't...

In Minnesota law requires elected officials to be eligible voters. According to Article VII, Section 6 of the Minnesota Constitution, every person entitled to vote and who is at least 21 years old is eligible for any office elective by the people, provided they have resided in the district for 30 days prior to the election.
This means that voting eligibility is a prerequisite for holding office in Minnesota. The knowledge of her fraudulent immigration status should be enough to get her booted out of the Mayor's job.

Outside of the bluest of blue enclaves like NYC and DC, jury trials tend to go our way. Think of Rittenhouse at the height of BLM.
The bigger problem is grand juries, but this is empaneled in North Florida, not DC. If this grand jury looks at the evidence being gathered and says, "Nah," then the pessimism about the entire American justice system is valid.
However, the pattern has rather regularly been the majority of cases brought outside of the deepest of blue enclaves (and even in the blue enclaves, there was something in NYC that went our way last year though I can't think of it off the top of my head) to jury trials tend to go based more on the evidence than adhering to Current Day Democrat Party needs.

The petty saga erupted late last month when several officers lodged formal complaints about the town’s former clerk, Pam Shinnick — who is also the mayor’s wife — continuing to work for the town despite having been fired.
She was terminated last year for apparently creating a “hostile work environment” in the town of less than 1,000 people — but allegedly still had access to personal and classified information.

Oh, I know.
But if they really think their problem is Starmer and not the party as a whole...or there are enough Labour who think it's just the process to follow after such a level of council loses...
Still, I adhere to the idea that Starmer has zero shame or self-awareness while also understanding that his own party can't actually force him out without nuking the party as a whole. So, no snap elections.
I just want it. Because it would entertain me, and politics, especially other countries' politics, exists solely to entertain me.

People have been predicting Starmer's fall since about week 3 of his ministership.
There were riots 2 years ago that were to precipitate Starmer doing the right thing and realizing that he can't lead the government.

====================
This is obviously Starmer's bet: that Labour would get curb-stomped in a snap national election, and therefore there is zero chance of a "no confidence" vote in Parliament.
On the other side of the equation are Labour ministers who are pretty sure that sticking with Starmer makes the eventual punishment from the voters to the party much worse every single day he stays in office.
This is interesting to watch, but sadly, no party exists worth cheering for over there. The UK looks like a ship headed for the rocks.

[Per Brave "AI":]
Project 2026 refers to multiple distinct initiatives, most commonly used as a label for the Heritage Foundation’s 2026 policy agenda, an extension of Project 2025, despite the think tank stating there is no formal "Project 2026." The policy priorities, released in late 2025, outline a conservative vision focusing on dismantling federal agencies, restricting abortion, eliminating the Department of Education, curbing immigration, and advancing "nuclear family" policies rooted in Christian nationalist ideology.
Oh noes -- the evil (and implied "White") "Christian Nationalists."

It seems to be a lot further along than most realize. Joe diGenova was hired to organize the evidence and witness testimony a few weeks ago and subpoenas have been going out.
There seems to be a weird dynamic on our side that people spend all day hammering on the media as a tool of the left but then think nothing good can be happening on our side because the same media isn't reporting on it.

Restore is probably their best bet, and I think they got no seats at all in the council elections, though I'm not sure if they even put anyone up. I know they have a slate of candidates for a general election, but council is different.
Restore primarily exists at this point to pull Reform rightward on immigration, though. And it seems like it's working.
I dunno.

"First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba."
But, of course, and it's probably all about the $$$ because:
>February 11, 2026 Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, joined by Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart and Carlos Giménez, sent a joint letter to the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and Commerce urging immediate action to revoke licenses granted to U.S. companies operating with the Cuban dictatorship.
In the letter, the three Members of Congress raise serious concerns that licenses issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) continue to authorize transactions that provide financial or material benefit to regime-controlled enterprises in Cuba, directly undermining U.S. sanctions law and Congressional intent under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996.
“U.S. law is clear: sanctions exist to deny economic support to the Cuban dictatorship until real democratic change occurs,” said Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar.

Despite a June 2025 statement during a debate where she claimed her family entered "illegally," she clarified she is a legal citizen.
Following her initial statement, Kaohly Her told Newsweek she has been a citizen for nearly four decades. Her family fled Laos after the Vietnam War, with her father working for the CIA. She initially stated her father fabricated documents to get the family to the U.S. faster, leading to her comment about being "illegal," which was intended to show empathy to undocumented individuals.
Reportedly, as per Wikipedia (yes, I know), her father worked for the U.S. consulate,[8] her uncle was employed by USAID.

Btw, during the Vietnam War, there were over 58,000 U.S. military fatalities and approximately 303,000 wounded, with over 150,000 requiring hospitalization. Total fatalities include roughly 47,434 hostile deaths and over 10,000 non-hostile deaths. More than 75,000 veterans were severely disabled, and 5,283 lost limbs. (AI Overview)

Yes, now I remember. During the 1970s, thousands of refugees arrived in the Philly region from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
Further, following pressure from Western activists and the Jackson-Vanik amendment, over 150,000 Jews emigrated to Israel & the US between 1971 and 1980, with several thousand settling in the immediate region.
Iranians immigrated primarily under the Immigration & Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act), which abolished national-origin quotas & favored skilled labor and family reunification. Many were students or professionals who entered legally, with roughly 50,000 Iranian students in the U.S. by late 1979.

Daily Tech News 8 May 2026
Top Story
- There's a local privilege escalation bug that affects all recent versions of Linux. (Tom's Hardware)
No, not that one, another one. It abuses bugs in three optional kernel modules to give any local user root access.
Good news: It's relatively easy to prevent.
Bad news: It's already out in the wild even though none of the Linux distributions has had a chance to patch it yet. There's a script available that prevents the affected kernel modules from loading that blocks the exploit. Run it once and you're good - unless you depend on one of those modules and you have untrusted local users, in which case you're... Not good.
- Also, there's a CPanel exploit making lives miserable, with a patch planned for 12pm EST.
Again, not that one, another one.
At least this one hasn't leaked yet.
Tech News
- Motherboard sales are down by 28% because nobody an afford the memory to build a new PC. (Tom's Hardware)
Because they listened to people telling everyone not to panic-buy memory.
I didn't listen.
Now I need to buy a couple or three motherboards for the RAM I already have, and they're cheap and readily available.
- A judge has rule that Nvidia's book piracy software was designed to pirate books. (Tom's Hardware)
Like other AI companies, Nvidia downloaded huge numbers of books to feed its ever-hungry models, and now is on the hook for industrial-scale copyright infringement.
- Never click on anything. (The Register)
Is the response from Anthropic to the discovery of a one-click exploit if you download untrusted software into Claude Code.
The same bug affects programming tools from Google, Microsoft, and Cursor, so they're not the only idiots in the room.
- You stack DRAM when it's DRAM stacking time. (WCCFTech)
Today's contestants are Samsung and SK Hynix, two of the Big Three.
- The StarFighter Linux laptop has finally launched. (Liliputing)
I think I reported on this previously. It has a choice of 2560x1600 165Hz or 3840x2400 240Hz 16" displays, Intel or AMD CPUs, up to 64GB of (apparently soldered) RAM, two M.2 slots, two Thunderbolt ports, three regular USB ports, HDMI, microSD, and an audio jack.
Plus a removable webcam module - if you're concerned about privacy, you can unplug it and stick in a drawer, or in a little slot within the laptop where it can't do anything.
And the Four Essential Keys.
Price has unfortunately been hit hard by the memory shortage and ranges from $1900 to $3600 depending on configuration.
- In maybe good news, Anthropic has signed a deal with SpaceX (which owns xAI, which owns X) to use the spare capacity in the latter company's datacenter in Memphis, which is, apparently, somehow, all of it. (Ars Technica)
Why good news?
Usage limits on Claude Code (which I use daily for code reviews) have been doubled at no extra cost.
Musical Interlude
The planned musical interlude appears to be holidaying in Somaliland.
We have flown in an emergency substitute interlude at the last minute and at great expense.
Also, I was today years old when I realised You're No Good was a Linda Ronstadt song.

If I understand the UK political system, and that's only about 50-50, they can call a confidence vote but, if they do and he loses, the opposition can call a general election for Parliament, which Labour would lose, but which otherwise won't occur for a few more years.

Starmer has obviously taken the pulse of his party, and other than some Jeremy Corbyn loyalists who despise him, he believes he still has enough support, for now, to remain Prime Minister.
However, Starmer's position is becoming untenable.
If the economy suffers more over the price of oil & national gas which may send inflation higher, he may have no choice but to resign in the near future.

Their bench is not impressive at all.
This may be the final time the UK has a Labour PM.
Whoever they replace Starmer with, eventually, will not be better and probably will be worse.
If the trend continues, Labour will be on the same level as the Greens and Liberal Democrats in numbers.
The Conservatives aren't far behind them.
It's really Farage and Reform UK's race to lose in the next general election (whenever that comes).
And now they've got Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain nipping at their heels.

I brought the feline Li'l Bit home from the steps of my college library, where someone had left her with a bowl of milk. Our incumbent cat, Rusty, was miffed at first, but within a couple of days they were solid friends. When he passed some years later, Mom said LB went all around the apartment and patio, calling for him.
After my mother's death, I rescued the little cat (then eleven or more) from the apartment. It took her a couple of weeks to adjust to me -- and to my incumbent, Arizona, who disliked all other cats -- but she did, and became my buddy for her last couple of years.

Florida Man takes "my pleasure" too far Central Florida man ‘exposed his genitals’ at Chick-fil-A drive thru, deputies say
A Palm Coast man was arrested after being accused of exposing himself to a minor at a fast-food drive thru last week, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. In a release, deputies said they responded to the incident on April 24 at a Chick-fil-A along State Road 100. Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the victim — a minor — who claimed that a customer had “exposed his genitals” to her while she was working at the drive-thru window, the release states. “The victim told deputies that she was handing the customer his food and saw his exposed genitals with a blueish-green circular object, which she believed to be a sex toy, around his penis,” the release reads.Dude, really? ----- AI is asshoe - but this is funny South Africa Cancels AI Policy After Evidence That It was Partially Written by AI
Last month, South Africa’s Communications minister announced that he had decided to withdraw the country’s national AI policy after discovering that at least 6 of its 67 academic citations turned out to be AI hallucinations, mentioning journal articles that didn’t exist. “The most plausible explanation is that AI-generated citations were included without proper verification. This should not have happened,” Solly Malatsi said. “This failure is not a mere technical issue but has compromised the integrity and credibility of the draft policy.” The National Artificial Intelligence Policy sought to position South Africa as a leader in AI innovation, while attempting to address ethical, social, and economic challenges, but only managed to embarrass the South African government after media outlets discovered that a significant part of the document had been created by AI.This is actually not surprising to me.

from thisdayinmusic.com
On this date 1968: while flying back to the UK after his final show with Bluesology, Elton John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight) devised his stage name. In the cabin, the singer-songwriter asked Bluesology’s horn player, Elton Dean, and lead singer Long John Baldry if he could combine their names for his solo act.
On this date in 1983: Stevie Wonder made his only appearance on the US show Saturday Night Live, where he was the host and musical guest. He played a Stevie Wonder impersonator in a skit with Eddie Murphy and stars in a camera commercial spoof with the tagline, "so simple, even Stevie Wonder can use it."
On this date in 1992: Nigel Preston drummer with The Cult died in London, England aged 32

More like stupid. In a drive thru where they can get his license plate number. Years ago, some nitwit tried to do a bank robbery at a drive thru. The drive thru teller, of course, dropped down, and pushed the button which all bank tellers have. Don't remember if it was by cameras or what, but they had his license plate number and arrested him very quickly.

I’m reading a great book about Air Force Skyraider pilots operating in Laos in that time period. While a piston prop plane, they were excellent for SAR for downed jet drivers and staying in the air a long time, loitering over an area and dropping nape and CBUs on the bad guys communicating with facc and such. Since the USA wasn’t officially in Laos the pilots didn’t get much credit for the incredible things they did.

Not fond of snot in hospitals, but not afraid of it.
Will not watch serial killer stuff or read about it due to one in college near me. Afraid of serial killers and food poisoning.
Not afraid of spiders or bugs as I can stomp them.
I am not fond of getting eggs from under a chicken because one pecked me as a child when visiting an aunt in Baton Rouge.

On Tuesday, an hour before taking our 8mo old home, she harfed on me while we watched my dude make dinner. Then proceeded to dry heave as pitiful as anyone can imagine for a sweet baby girl. Both of us changed and then we got her home where she rested on my towel covered shoulder. Her mother arrived with the other two (son out of town, of course), and we got the dose for Zofran and 1.5ml pedialyte and she seemed to recover in minutes from how she was. Then ok on pedialyte, as she was very close to an ED visit and I don't get alarmed about a lot.I don't mess around with babies.
Her grandfather and I felt off last night and achy and yuck. It returned for me this pm. DIL called tonight and was getting sick and told our son to fly home earlier than planned tomorrow. I used to coach her via phone for other viruses so this is not new.I am hoping she takes a Zofran with sips of ginger ale as I directed (DO NOT TAKE WATER IF HARFING).
Other son texted that there was a death in his new wife's family and I provided help for that.
I planted 3 plants in gardens.
This is the sum total of my productivity this week other than making a menu but not cooking.

*******************************
If anyone quibbles with me tonight I will simply tell them to take a Zofran with ginger ale like a robot from this week. I have never taken Zofran (yet) as I rarely get to the harfing stage of any stinkin' virus.
When boys were small I had 3 patients as my husband fell fast. We traded as I get every cold.
I had the worst stomach virus in history in 1976 before the bicentenniel vacation in Panama City Beach which made me immune (so far). Gave it to brothers.
My one bro I could hear snickering at the noises I was making in our bathroom. The next day it felled him like a tree and he apologized (rare). It was one of those where you don't know if you should sit or stand at the commode.
My dear Dad was worried about me as I was never sick.Asked what was wrong and I told him (I was hallucinating) "diverticulosis" for no reason. He asked if I wanted to go to the ED and I said yais. Then I woke up better as I guess I passed out. At least he cared about me as my mother went to bed and my brother was snickering in his bedroom.

I think my DIL will live (she has 2 kids plus baby germ maker upstairs asleep at her house) as she took a Zofran and is going to bed she texted. I am always who they call, so it's good to feel needed. We've known her since she was 17yrs old.
When boys were small we gave Phenergan suppositories and they were happy to have them. I was happy to know pediatricians who would call in a Rx over the phone for me vs seeing them.

Welsh Parliament, Labor is losing most to Reform and Cymru (native Welsh party), Scottish National Party in Scotland is benefitting from Labor's collapse and Reform is getting some love up there as well.

Mine put me back on Atorvastatin because my lipids were too high, but it made my blood sugar go back up again. He wound up halving the statin and adding another, and that seemed to resolve things.
Atorvastatin seems to mess with gut microbiota and affect bile acid metabolism and blood glucose, and this seems to be a pretty common issue.

This is a massive anti establishment vote in the UK and conditions are ripe for something similar to this in the US if the fossilized GOPe and Dems don't drop the uniparty ideals. Just like Dems flipping out that a white guy representing Memphis just lost his district for 2026 but the likely winner is a black Republican.

They don't stay in their lane. Cardiologists think about one thing and do not consider other physiological effects. Your Cardiologist is probably a surgeon and that really narrows down their field of view.
Had a CT for a different reason and they found a pulmonary embolism (good) sent me straight to emergency where they prescribed a shit ton of blood thinners - > they were thinking about one thing, not the whole body.
As it happened also scheduled that week was an appointment with my primary. He cut the script in half.
Next CT no embolism.

My total cholesterol was 180 with no meds, they gave me 80mg. First thing i did was read up. They said from 40 to 80 mg there was only a 2% efficiency difference. I started cutting them in 4 pieces, so I took about 20mg. Next blood work the numbers were way down. LDL was in the 60's. He says good, statins are working. I said uh, 1/4 of the fucking statins are working. Give me a 20 mg prescription, so he did.

I use a One Touch meter. Off statin I got a blood glucose between 95 and 110 at 10 hours fasting over night.
With Atorvastatin I got 130+ fasting, though it would go down after about 12 - 16 hours fasting. Previously metformin did not help with the blood glucose levels.
Cardiologist put me on reduced Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe which is better.
Here is a paper that discusses it, it uses a different addition, ursodeoxycholic acid or Ursudiol, to moderate the effects

Thanks for posting that. Seems to be mostly servers and cloud/container systems at risk from privilege escalation. The modules involved include IPSEC and AFS distributed files modules. If you don't need VPN, IPSEC can be turned off with commands. AFS distributed files module is also uncommon to use for folks with desktops/laptop linux system installs. r/linux has a decent thread about it.

Thats exactly what happened to me. Fasting overnight for 8 hours was around 102-105. After the statins its 120-130 and then drops around 12 hours.

I think what happened in Indiana this week scared the crap out of the normal GOPe types in the legislature and states. They want to keep their seats. And with each state that does it, it creates pressure on leaders of the other states to do the same.
I think one thing that we sometimes forget amidst all the chaos that Trump brings by new thinking on matters is he thrives on chaos like his team: the Democrats really don't as all of their politics are actually wargamed ops covered by friendly media. Their chaos is manufactured by their ngo street partners in crime.
Trump's version of chaos upsets the Dem calculations on ops because he is not behaving like a 'good' Republican should to their thinking.

There is not a patch yet but turning off two of the modules (they are not in the kernel) is okay to mitigate it by a command in terminal unloading those modules if you don't need IPSEC or AFS file system.
People running servers or corporate systems need to be on their toes as it could break some of their systems. But it requires local access apparently for the people that use Linux for a home desktop or laptop computer.
AI security holes and mitigation are going to be a growth industry in computer software for some time. AI is poking holes faster than mitigation patches under the older slow system can function.
Probably even worse in Windows and perhaps Macs as neither Microsoft or Apple like disclosing such breaches. With AI, I don't think security by obscurity works any longer to conceal exploitable code.

Labour and Conservatives continue to lose a lot of seats to Reform Party (Farange). No word on Greater Yarmouth and Rupert's Lowe's Restore UK.
From X, "Yo, it's the UK local council elections from yesterday (May 7). Still counting with only 38 of 136 done, but in plain English:
Reform UK is the big winner – they've grabbed 312 seats so far (huge surge).
Labour is losing bad, down 237 seats.
Tories also down 115.
Lib Dems and Greens picking up some. "
It also looks like Labour loses control of the Welsh Parliament with Reform dueling it out with Plaid Cymru (Welsh nationalist party), and the voters turning to Scottish National Party and Reform are dumping the major parties in the Scottish Parliament elections.

Younger female House Rep. Letlow in Louisiana is the leader right now in polls. State Treasurer is neck and neck with her, a guy named Flemming. Cassidy is in third. Jungle primary state.
Cassidy's vote for impeachment and his douchebaggery on being waterboy for Big Health is probably going to be enough to retire him. Louisiana is only delaying the House primaries until redistricting. The state level and senatorial primary will be held this May as planned.

Someone needs to do an actual long-term study on them, but all of the institutional incentives are against finding out anything bad about something that powerful companies are making money off of. Even if a real scientist wanted to, and even if he were self-funding, he would face flack at the level Elon Musk has.
I really do think that they can drive homicidal ideation, and may have caused murders. Well, that's at the extreme, but I would also expect to find them more commonly responsible for slightly less dramatic effects, such as rage-outs and generically antisocial behavior.

Got it about half finished, engine securely mounted, driveshaft to hydrostatic transaxle connected, and set it aside due to acquiring a good Diesel tractor. Needed to do wiring, carburetor, plumb fuel and exhaust, radiator, and accessory drive to finish. Could be done; I have all the parts.

Lay your paws on me. Introducing the babies. More babies hanging out. What's the name of that phobia where you get triggered by a large group of holes? I just got a dose of that and now you can too. Yff pile.
Not a penguin. Dogs just want to help. If it involves carrying things around in their mouths like it's treasure, so much the better. Yup, anything involving grabbing things in their mouths and carrying them, they're Johnny On the Spot.
This is pretty much my deck. I've put out a freakin' smorgasbord for these dumb birds. (And squirrels.)

Instructure Canvas, the main Learning Management System used by around 9000 institutions in this country was hit with a ransomware attack.
And it's the middle of finals for most higher education institutions that rely on Canvas for final exams and projects.
Canvas has until May 12 to pay the ransom or the material that was stolen will be released.

I have this (aversion, not fear) and those ads were really hard. It’s hard to explain the feeling it invokes because it’s not really rational. The best way is if you looked at something that was gross, so much so you want to stop looking at it as soon as possible.

Found out why Dutch's show career looked so short based on the spreadsheet I made for him. I don't have two-thirds of the shows from 2014, where he was #1 Borzoi in Breed rankings, and none from 2015.
Worse, I doubt I can resurrect all the shows he appeared in but didn't get a ribbon, since in that case he wouldn't appear in the AKC's show results.

I missed it, thinking it was today for some reason, but May 5th was the cross-quarter day, halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice (halfway defined in terms of the sun's ecliptic longitude).
So by the so-called "solar season" definition, where the equinoxes and solstices occur at the centers of the season, summer started May 5th. Otherwise, that was "peak spring".

The Enviro Left: "Cheap energy keeps the hated subject classes prosperous. We must eliminate cheap energy to weaken and enslave them."
The Government Left: "Sounds great! Leave them shivering in the dark! Yeah, that's the ticket!"
Tech Lord Leftists: "Nonsense. Our clankers need shitloads of cheap energy to enslave the hated subject classes, and the clankers are much more efficient than your puny human hippies."
The Government Left: "STFU and STFD, you dirty hippies. You heard the money men! Time to nuke the fuck up! Get to smashing those atoms on the double!"
The Enviro Left: "Understood. Let the gigawatts flow."
It's always about the best way to fuck you over, in every single policy decision, every single time, no exceptions.
Once you accept that cold, hard fact, America makes much more sense.

124 I'm no fan of our local school district. But I still have kids there. The fact that it affects the university systems too is bad because I will still be vested there too for at least the next 5 plus years.

It’s what we use for our virtual home school program. They are on break (we do a year round schedule), I will text our teacher tomorrow. She is probably losing it, poor thing.

I looked at the Bu Nos listed as part of the transfer in a news article. Two are D models. The one A model as part of VF-32 shot a Libya MiG-23 down.

Oh good.
I have to see if Snowflake is ready to come in. She likes to sleep here for about half the night and I put her out in the middle of the night.
But I have no litter boxes in the house. So that's a pretty good deal.
And she's really cute sleeping on the chair by my bed with Ralphy on the floor.....

I saw that. And another had a guy on for a familiarization flight and he triggered his ejection seat so it had to land without a canopy? Wtf?

There are standards. Could dig through Department of Ag or just ask your favorite AI. Doesn't matter if the AI is right or not.

I've never been there but I watch A LOT of racing and Barber Motorsports Park does look pretty nice. I hear it's got a great racing museum onsite. The track is designed with motorcycles in mind so if you get a chance, MotoAmerica (Superbikes) race there every year.

They were giving a familiarization hop for an officer from USS Anzio at NAS Fallon. Pilot did a -1G maneuver. So the GIB started to float and grabbed at something. *bang!*

My wife gifted me a "Intro to Racing" at Laguna Seca with Skip Barber. A 4 hour session in open wheeled, fiberglass tub 4 bangers with a 4 speed, no assists (including brakes or power steering.)
Fucking fun as shit.

Yeah, and Porsche does an event there, too. It's only 4 hours from me, so I might make it a recurring trip. I bet it's awesome in person.

I do hope that if that's the case, Reform
Picked up some seats.

So the guy ejected. The pilot got to be a Rockstar who landed a plane without a canopy.
The other guy get teased out of the service?

Restore Britain is currently around 4% in the polls, potentially taking enough votes from Reform UK to cost them a majority in the next General Election, which won't be held until 2029.

I've been emailing back and forth with a professor who's asking me a bunch of questions he could easily look up himself.
I even told him, "Let me Grok that for you" earlier today...
He's a good guy, so I don't mind. Deeply conservative outlook.

Understand that this race was for local council seats, not Parliamentary seats except in Scotland and Wales. Important because the local councils handle all local issues.
One projection has Labour losing 1600 local seats and reform picking up 1600. Greens are not as strong as was fired.
Islamic Independence Party may win a couple hundred, control a couple of cities.

She's a keeper.
I did another track day at Laguna Seca in my BMW 325is about 2 years later. That.... was scary as shit. I nearly lost it in the corkscrew on lap 2 trying to be "boy racer." Later... did laps with the 914 club there. All Porsche 914's. That was a hoot. Seriously underpowered cars that were more or less adult go-carts.
I hate being grown up.

Her grandmother was my patient today. She has a tiny tattoo with a heart and her name.
Zoe committed suicide in January. She was 14. She was encouraged to kill herself on social media.
Her grandmother is heartbroken as they were close.
Thank you.

How crushingly hard for Zoe's grandmother. I will pray.
Social media is a contagion for young people.

If I was king I would have that social media site dismantled and who ever owns the site flayed. For no other reason than it would feel good. Then the "influencers" of the tragedy hunted down and blow torched in front of their families.

Actually, the State should just kick their asses out.
I think they have river access so its not like Memphis would become a land locked federal territory.
