Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Sub-Mediocre Male Cross-Country Runner Decides He Wants to Win So He Declares Himself a "Girl" Mid-Season and Begins DominatingA Camas High School runner who finished 76th in a boys' junior varsity race began competing in the girls' division weeks later, placing second in a field of 195 before winning a girls' varsity race. This comes as Washington voters prepare to decide on an initiative protecting girls' sports. Logan Mihailoff began the season on Camas's boys' JV team at the September 5 Ultimook Race, finishing 76th, according to HeCheated, the advocacy group that highlighted the change. Camas's published season results confirm Mihailoff competed in the boys' division at that meet. By September 26, Mihailoff was competing against girls at the Nike Portland XC Invitational, finishing second out of 195 runners in the girls' junior/senior JV race. Three days later, Mihailoff won the girls' varsity race at the Union/Camas meet, finishing ahead of all 45 other competitors. In a statement provided to unDivided host Brandi Kruse, Camas School District defended its participation policy by citing Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules and state law. "Under current WIAA eligibility standards, students are permitted to participate in athletics consistent with their gender identity. The district will continue to follow state law and WIAA requirements unless those laws or rules change. We also have an obligation to protect student privacy and will not discuss the circumstances or eligibility of an individual student."Voters have a chance to stop this madness: Washington is the state where a male cheater gave an "oil check" to a female opponent in wrestling --meaning, he stuck his fingers inside her vagina to leverage her. Washington wrestler Kallie Keeler and her mother have now asked the US Supreme Court to intervene after Keeler alleged a male opponent sexually assaulted her during a December 2025 girls' tournament. They seek advance notice of matches against males and the ability to decline those matches without penalty. Prosecutors declined to charge the opponent, concluding they could not prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt.The girls being forced to race against this male interloper showed some courage and simply walked for fifty yards at the start of their latest race, then simply walked off the course entirely. Or at least, nearly half of them did. The adults running Washington's schools keep telling girls to accept boys in their sports. On Tuesday, girls at Camas High School delivered their answer: They walked away from a race rather than compete against a boy. Nearly half of the girls' cross-country team refused to compete against a male teammate, according to unDivided host Brandi Kruse, who shared footage recorded by Amy Sousa. The footage shows the starting gun going off and then a large group of girls stepping off the starting line and leaving the field. The walk-off came after two runners from rival Skyview High School staged a similar protest last month. Skyview runners Charlie Garrett and Sierra Retzlaff lined up with messages supporting women's sports painted on their arms and legs, then left the course after the starting gun. "We did it because we didn't want to act like we were OK with what was happening," Retzlaff explained. Hmm, I wonder if this 6'1" male will have any unfair advantages over the short-legged women he's running against.

When my kid ran there was a huge senior who was going into the marines. He was the enforcer on our team. If other teams elbowed, tripped or spiked anyone on our team, the enforcer took them out as soon as runners got into the trees. He'd beat your ass, throw you in the water or take one of your shoes.

Have a similar situation with parking at the spawns HS. Most of the kids who can drive have cars but there are not enough parking spaces even though there is a 3 story parking garage and some surface parking. Some guy in the neighborhood closest to the school was going off on Nextdoor about it. Said the HOA has rules, etc. wouldn't hear that the streets are public and the HOA couldn't stop legal street parking. Guy was a complete jerk.

From Gender Wars:
320 Pretty obvious that the EU wants to keep the Russian money they froze to backstop the whole banking and economic system of the Euro. I think that is what is driving it in part. They cannot go to their people having wasted billions on Ukraine (and of course kickbacks right back to the Euro pols) without being able to grasp some way to call it a victory. Stealing the frozen money is part of that I think. Posted by: whig at October 14, 2026 05:34 PM (E4rtv) There are enough European assets in Russia that it would backfire, as long as the Federation is intact and they haven't installed a puppet in Putin's place. That's probably the only reason why they still haven't pulled the trigger on it, after years of blustery rhetoric. It makes me wonder if they got fooled by the Bill Kristol Dog & Pony Show that he put on, with an elaborate description of exactly how the Russian Federation could be parted out like a hot car in a cholo's chop shop: 1. Maximal European opposition to Russia. 2. ??? 3. Profit! Posted by: SciVo at October 14, 2026 06:03 PM (ke3zm) 79

There are enough European assets in Russia that it would backfire, as long as the Federation is intact and they haven't installed a puppet in Putin's place. That's probably the only reason why they still haven't pulled the trigger on it, after years of blustery rhetoric.

I don't know if they followed Kristoll but there is a lot of stupid sanction thinking going on that somehow would lead to the collapse of Russia in days back in 2021-2 that was behind the start of the war. In fact they were so sure sanctions would work despite having huge gaps for things they wanted to keep buying from Russia that they almost forgot to have the Ukraine army start fighting for about a month or so.

That 6'1" male is also in the female locker room at track meets and after his team's own practices.
My youngest daughter weighed less than 100# when she ran high school track. She had maybe 20% of that male's upper body strength if she was assaulted in the locker room. THAT is certainly much worse than stealing medals. Every successful civilization kept unescorted males away from young women - for obvious reasons. Authoritarian Leftists are either ignorant of history, or don't care to protect women when the perp is an "intersectional ally". I don't know which of those "reasons" is actually worse?

Plus their incel and gayboy allies.Article bu Brigit Phetasy here. Some cuckboy at Philadelphia Magazine insists that Shane Gillis broke six "rules" of comedy, which are all various ways of saying women are always right, never "punch down," and never attack any group associated with the political left. What would comedy be without some strict rules imposed by political commissars? Rule #1: Don't call women whores. Or say they dress like whores. Or use the word "whores" at all. ... Maybe some comics can say "whore," under the right conditions.I assume "the right conditions" are "when you're attacking a Fox News presenter or Republican congresswoman." But for Shane Gillis it's a nonstarter. His resting stage persona is somewhere between frat boy, Bugs Bunny, and a bouncer trying to memorize the address on your ID. Like he's always on a boozy power trip. Like he says "whores" a lot. Opinions vary over how the "whore" line went over in the room, but the social media reaction has been a rousing thumbs-down.No it hasn't been. It's been a thumbs-down from humorless twats and gayboys like yourself. You are not the world, thank heavens.

There are a lot of female "comedians" out there right now who while they have moved away from the "every joke is about my lady bits" trend of the Amy Schumer era, don't actually make any jokes.

Not only do you get the "He's calling all women at gyms whores!" lie, but the "I can wear whatever I want, bigot!" canard.

The term dolly-mop (or dollymop) is a 19th-century slang term for an amateur, part-time female prostitute, servant-maid, or street-walker in England, particularly London.
Etymology and Breakdown • Dolly: Historically a diminutive nickname for Dorothy, "dolly" also developed various slang meanings over time, including a term for a woman/favorite and, in some historical or vulgar slang contexts, a term for the penis. • Mop: Derived from Middle English moppe, which originally meant a fool, simpleton, a messy-haired person, or a disheveled servant/drab, as well as being linked to female names and slang for untidy attire or a strumpet (such as historical terms like mab or mob). Posted by: ace at October 14, 2026 04:37 PM (1wjle) 64
Dolly mop
Dollymop is pretty specific, it refers to Victorian Era underage girls, often taken by upper class dudes who caught the clap and were told you could get rid of it by sleeping with a virgin.

“Dollymop” is a 19th‑century British slang term for an amateur or part‑time female prostitute, derived from a combination of “dolly” (slang for a woman) and “mop” (slang for a young whiting fish), with roots in older English and even Proto‑Indo‑European vocabulary Me: 'amateur or part-time' prostitute. lol.

In his Netflix special Beautiful Dogs, he makes jokes about the "hypocrisy of pro-gun advocates" and the "unseriousness of Donald Trump’s speeches," and has stated in interviews that he "didn’t vote for Trump."

Some cuckboy at Philadelphia Magazine insists that Shane Gillis broke six "rules" of comedy, which are all various ways of saying women are always right, never "punch down," and never attack any group associated with the political left.
_______________________________ LMAO...Behold the Obtuse among us. That's Shane Gillis's whole gig. He purposefully antagonizes people on both sides of the aisle. I am somewhat reverent about the Founding Fathers in their wisdom. But, damn if I didn't laugh my ass off at Gillis's portrayal of George Washington and the liberties he took. He portrays Washington as an out of control red-headed giant retard effected by his lead based false teeth, and that alone scared the Hessians into defeat as they saw the lunatic taking row boats across the semi-frozen Delaware while other Continental soldiers tried to get him to sit down on the boat. Hell, Gillis, who claims that Downs Syndrome just missed him, and that's why he has the appearance of one, used to go to Pro Football games and get front row seats in the handicapped area because after enough beers he looked like he fit right in. And, this is a story he enjoys telling. Posted by: Orson at October 14, 2026 04:40 PM (dIske) 84

I have generally found Gillis' comedy to be pretty good. I mean he's no George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Seinfeld, or even early Bill Burr but he's pretty funny. Like most areas of entertainment, he learned at the feet of people who learned at the feet of giants and never really faced hardship that results in dark humor. There's a reason so many Jews were so damned funny in the past.

Very disappointing, very mid. Second season started. Not sure if I care enough to watch it. Posted by: ace ====== Try Signora Volpe instead or Chelsea Detective. I think Death Valley second series is due up soon too. Posted by: whig at October 14, 2026 04:50 PM (E4rtv) 146
I watch left wing humor and the thing that always amazes me is not only is it not funny, its not intended to.
The "joke" is Trump is a bad person. That's it. That's all it ever is. But that's not a joke. And to take a comparison, SNL had a skit on Reagan once where Reagan pretended to be senile to the public while being sharp as a tack as soon as the cameras turned off. And it was funny. Now the overall setup was mean but...they changed it in a way so it wasn't just "Reagan is bad" Posted by: 18-1 at October 14, 2026 04:50 PM (sKqQm) 147

• Mop: Derived from Middle English moppe, which originally meant a fool, simpleton, a messy-haired person, or a disheveled servant/drab, as well as being linked to female names and slang for untidy attire or a strumpet (such as historical terms like mab or mob).

The term dolly-mop (or dollymop) is a 19th-century slang term for an amateur, part-time female prostitute, servant-maid, or street-walker in England, particularly London.

Here is the thing from my view, for what it is worth. There is a level of wearing something that provides freedom of movement, etc etc. Many of these women have worked hard and they have a great body, so yes, they are showing that off - not sure why that is so terrible for them to admit. Most worked hard for it. Maybe they don’t want to be followed around the gym by weirdos, and that is also okay. I feel strongly adult men are able to control themselves, you know, being adults and all. I also understand a larger person who is trying to get fit wanting to wear something that allows them the ability to workout, and I don’t think that needs to be a trash bag.

Posted by: tubal More like Jonathan Creek who was a technician that designed magician illusions. Ludwig is a puzzler (one who writes puzzles) and a bit at sea with the world having been a shut in for most of his life. So there are Monk vibes here. They introduce a twin brother also played as a mostly offscreen presence for Mitchell as well. The brother was a Detective Inspector and got involved in some shadowy overarching plot that required the shutin to impersonate him in the first series and now as a consultant when he was revealed as an imposter at the end of series one. Want humor, David Mitchell's older and much shorter series, Ambassadors, is actually quite good. And he works in a Prince Andrew visit in that series without of course directly naming the prince that came to the country to charm them for contracts.

Learned an interesting word association today:
When it entered the language from French the word "appoint" only meant to place somebody in a position or office. And "disappoint", more rarely used, meant to undo that appointment, often leaving somebody feeling deflated and with less hope. And in general this feeling that things did not turn out as hoped for became "disappointment". Posted by: Axeman at October 14, 2026 04:59 PM (Fi81e) 201

If he lives long enough I predict Trump will morph into “Good Republican” the way GWB did. Because the current Bad Republican (which is every Republican) has to be compared to the last one in a bad light.

There was a device you could pick up in the video game Defender called a "smart bomb" that blew up all the enemies on the screen but harmed nothing else.

10 Theo Von’s IQ can’t be over 85.
I genuinely don’t understand how he’s become so wildly popular being as retarded as he is. Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at October 14, 2026 04:28 PM (k3anH) Can I invent an explanation? I will give it a shot! There is roughly a 30-point IQ Communication Gap. (Really, two standard deviations, but that's not just math -- worse, it's statistics.) So, a somewhat bright, 120 IQ comedian's sense of humor may seem overly abstract and unfunny to the average Heritage (non-immigrant) Black with an 85 IQ (one standard deviation below the mean). Conversely, a comedian whose IQ is Right There With Them will hit their entire community, as well as the whole peak of the bell curve up to 115, and also the smarter ones who are drunk or high* at the time. It's a smart market-maximizing play -- but since he isn't smart, he probably just stumbled into it by accident. * There was an exchange, I think on the old Motley Fool paid forums, where someone wondered how Two And A Half Men could be so popular. "It's just sex and fart jokes." And one guy replied, "Yeah, well, that's all I can handle at the end of the day, after using up all my brainpower at work."

Saw a conversation about the future, and it brings up an illustration of sexes. Men's wants are so simple, that someday, theoretically they might be able to buy a companion product off the line. Something that can look like a top 1% woman, engage in sex without manipulation, and simulate a pleasant personality.
But no business can afford to ship out top-20% income earners for women. And almost no woman could afford to buy it. Also I counter the eww factor women have to this thought, with my speculation that far more phallic sex toys are probably sold to "modern liberated women" who cannot be shamed for that choice, than pocket pussies and blow-up dolls.

Katie Hobbs (D) may be BOUGHT OFF by the CARTELS, calling on every AZ voter to vote Andy Biggs "Katie Hobbs does the BIDDING of the cartels. People say SHE'S PAID OFF BY THE CARTELS." "Something HAS to be between her and the cartels because she causes DEATH in your state. She vetoed 18 bills cracking down on crime including legislation to crush the drug cartels...it would've BROKEN the cartels." "She wouldn't sign increased sentences for fentanyl!" "Andy Biggs is SMART. And he's COMMON SENSE. He respects the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol." 💯 Bill after bill to crack down landed on Hobbs' desk, and she vetoed them!

I also understand a larger person who is trying to get fit wanting to wear something that allows them the ability to workout, and I don’t think that needs to be a trash bag.
Posted by: Piper ----- There is an entire panoply of workout clothes for people of all shapes and sizes that exists and has existed for the last couple of decades, which allows you to move and get your workout in without unnecessary encumbrance. These things existed and girls wore them when I was in college 25+ years ago. Running shorts, actual sports bras and athletic tank tops that aren't glorified body paint. The girls didn't gripe back then, and guess what, the guys still stole a glance because leaving something to the imagination is actually sexier than wearing underwear to the gym most of the time.

Ace, I read the title as Genital Warts. Seriously.
I guess because I read Cornell comments and have a STD of eyeballs. Now I will read this one. Why, for starters, do these women care what others think about they gym clothing? Granted I would be uncomfortable with the shorts and adjusting. Much less being with guys who can't help but look if you are next to them. I'm a grandmother and still get hit on wearing long tee shirts and capri leggings in a park with grandkids. I don't want to be hit on (husband was taking our crazy #1 girl to the loo) at this point in life. I was not flaunting anything at a picnic table with grandson. I never had to try in my prime because I was nice to look at and fun, wearing jeans and a stylin top. I didn't ever think about swishing in to catch a man. I caught the one I married without trying. In fact he was dating a classmate and I refused to go out with him til he cleared that up. No way was I a boyfriend stealer or even thought about stealing a married man. If you want to dress this way, go for it (I guess). If you look good why care what others (men) think? That's empowerment, baybee. Not that I agree with what you wear, but it ain't Iran.

What happened is racial redlining, enforced by blacks who say this is "OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!"According to numerous clips, the woman left notes on cars near her $1.5 million home, telling drivers not to park there. The home is reportedly near a Historically Black College and University. The woman, who was white, got confronted, got huffy, dropped the school's reported 25 percent graduation rate, and now they're besieged.The white couple have a Talafreako yard sign. As a wise insane man said, You get what you deserve. Amiri KingGee I've heard that is a racial crime whose foul stain will never be erased when white people did it 70 years ago. But now? It's just some good ol' fashioned anti-gentrification terrorism. Terroristic KKK-style threats are just "the voice of the unheard." That said -- to hell with this couple. I hope they're forced out and take a million dollar loss on the house.

First, there is never any street parking near a university. Any urban university. College students don't have money to pay for parking, they will drive around the block forever, waiting for a spot to open up.
Second, their arrogance, wanting to prove their false social beliefs. Buying a home in this neighborhood was likely a political statement from them, not because they liked the house. Third, the move to put notes on windshields, that is just stupid. It inflames the car owner, who then told the neighbors, and just like that, the only white family in the neighborhood becomes a self-made target. The non-self awareness of these people sounds like they are true white liberals. They got what they asked for. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at October 14, 2026 03:41 PM (Uvvcx) 58

No-rust VW bug (spent a lot of its life in CA), on the east coast. Fantastic car. Once was so busy I couldn't replace a dead battery for a few weeks. Just started it with help (on the flats) and always parked on a hill near home. Actually did sell it, eventually.

28 People gonna asshoe. Take your $1.5M and buy enough land that you don't HAVE neighbors. Done deal.
Posted by: tcn in AK There is a reason that urban cities become notorious for too many regulations, laws, rules, etc. It is because they concentrate the assholes in a small geographic area and these rules, laws, regulations, have to be directed toward the lowest common denominator. Same reason that suburbs now have HOA Not Sees. People behaving awful to each other and the ones that behave the most awful end up causing rules against their awfulness. Cities concentrate people behaving badly so you end up with prison rules and customs for everyone to lessen the likelihood that person A shanks person B. All of that tends to go away when you have space enough between dwellings that the assholes can be ignored. They tend to self select too after acting the fool and move to places more accepting of their behavior. Posted by: whig at October 14, 2026 03:44 PM (E4rtv) 78

I get irrationally tooth-grindingly angry when someone parks in front of the house, especially as they usually do it to visit the house across the street. But its not illegal, as long as they don't block the driveway or park on the curb. Its just annoying. So I get where she's coming from to put notes on cars, but its Karen behavior. If they park there too long or ignore local parking ordinances you can call enforcement on them, don't leave notes.

I live in an old part of town with most homes built before cars were a thing. A lot of houses don’t have garages or even driveways. The streets are packed with cars. People park where there spots doesn’t matter if it’s not right in front of their house.
It’s absurd for anyone to think they can dictate who parks where on a city street. If you don’t like this environment move to the suburbs in an HOA where nobody is allowed to park on the street. Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at October 14, 2026 03:45 PM (k3anH) 87

I haven't been to San Francisco for a while, but it had the worst parking I have ever seen. People weren't just double parked, there were people parked in the middle of the freaking street, straddling the line. Just stopped, locked the car up, and left it.

I dunno. There was some stuff in Louisville that did not seem to have garages- especially the older stuff downtown. Always struck me as odd. Louisville also was horrific on closet and cupboard space too. It's like 100 years ago no one had anything, so they did not put any space in to store it, and it became a habit in construction.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at October 14, 2026 03:47 PM (Y/06r) The older style row houses were like that because they were pre car, but I doubt that is the situation here in a newer place like Austin.

Posted by: 18-1 at October 14, 2026 03:42 PM (sKqQm) There was a movie that came out in 2021 called "Karen", which was essentially this scenario Ace wrote about, only of course it was a black couple trying to fit into an affluent white Atlantia suburb. That movie was memorable to me for all the wrong reasons. Some notable moments - the white racist "Karen" antagonist had a confederate soap dispenser, her brother of course was a corrupt racist cop who also was part of "The Brotherhood", and Ben Crump himself had a part at the end where he decried the perils of huwhite racism while some guy on the side was playing on either trombone or a trumpet.

Posted by: Aetius451AD My house is 135 years old, has been renovated I dunno 10 times? A couple of additions along the way. Still has a lot of the original wood floors. It’s a really cool house.

Neighborhood is awesome, huge oak and maple trees, and every house is unique not cookie cutter shit in a subdivision. It’s a historic district so any new builds have to conform to the aesthetic of the neighborhood. And it’s walkable to just about anything I need.

No offense to anyone here, but who wants to move into a black neighborhood? Hell, blacks don't want to move into black neighborhoods.
Part of the reason black neighborhoods are generally poor and dysfunctional is because anyone living there gets out as soon as they can. So there's continual flight out of the neighborhood of the very residents who could make it better. The same is true for white trash trailer parks. Nobody wants to live there. As soon as a resident can get out, they do. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 14, 2026 03:56 PM (iFTx/) 144

From Banks Shut Accounts:
17 I used to think corporations were cool because all they wanted to do was make money, politics be damned. Along with this naivete, I also thought CEOs were capitalist animals who would fight DEI and ESG like Orcs. Guess not! Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 14, 2026 01:31 PM (mmrXZ) It's a puzzler! But it all makes sense if they're low-attachment, high-functioning sociopaths. A nation bounded by laws and Constitution will always limit their power. If they can ride the Socialist tiger and stay on top, then they can have unbounded, unaccountable power. By regression to the mean, sexual reproduction will hinder dynasties by making the offspring of exceptional couples closer to their ethnic group average. And, while wealth is a pie that can be expanded, status really is a zero-sum game, where your family's upward mobility may come at the cost of their family's rank. If they can use DEI and ESG to keep White and Oriental men from the lower to middle-middle classes from rising up through merit, then their own lazy, spoiled, midwit, mediocre offspring can stay on top. This may explain the WEF/transnat elites' support for DEI/ESG and socialism. Posted by: SciVo at October 14, 2026 03:58 PM (ke3zm) 153

The plot next to my house is about the same size, a little narrower. They are building THREE homes in the same area. I asked "where are they gonna park??" and the guy clearing the brush said he had no idea.
My guess is that they will be little 20-story jobs with a garage on the bottom floor. Which will still be better than the collapsing, rat-infested disaster that was there for ten years. I just can't imagine living like that. No yard, nowhere for kids to play, no backyard barbecue. If I had the money and ability I'd live in a cabin in the mountains with a lake, and starlink.

Instead, he INTENTIONALLY choose a house is a completely black and very poor neighborhood, to show "solidarity," because he was a dyed-in-the-wool moonbat. I went over there for a party a few years later. He said he doesn't let his seven-year-old daughter outside the house under any circumstances, except to get in the car accompanied by an adult.

Posted by: Aetius451AD Trees go because the developers want every square foot they can get out of zoning and zero lots require bulldozing and shaping everything to get proper drainage, sewage, and construction slabs. Old style was you had a developer that sold lots to individual builders, new style is developer integrated with a universal builder for a project and often even a patron lender. So mass production of cookie cutter homes with HOAs. FWIW, I think houses are viewed as disposable now for a corporate class that moves every couple of years anyway. Same with the H1Bs, etc. And from what I've seen, many of these new tract houses are poorly built and not really designed for decades to come. Posted by: whig at October 14, 2026 04:07 PM (E4rtv) 205

Yes, you can find homes around the $1.5 million price point near the University of Virginia (UVA) campus in Charlottesville, though inventory in that specific combination of price and proximity is limited and competitive. • Near-Campus Neighborhoods: Areas like Lewis Mountain (within walking distance of campus and spots like the Fralin Museum or Scott Stadium), Jefferson Park Avenue (JPA), and parts of Rugby Road or University Circle feature desirable historic and traditional homes. • Nearby Upscale Communities: Slightly outside the immediate dense campus grid, upscale areas like Ednam (close to Farmington Country Club and UVA) offer luxury homes typically floating right around or under the $1.5 million mark. • Market Realities: In the central Cville/UVA corridor, a $1.5 million budget will generally buy you a smaller historic cottage, a high-end townhome, or an older home needing updates rather than a massive new-construction estate (which tend to push past $1.6M–$1.7M Posted by: Archimedes at October 14, 2026 04:09 PM (Riz8t) 214

I'm trying to think where this house is located.
I'm assuming it's in East Austin somewhere. Not a lot of great neighborhoods, but- it's pretty close to downtown and the university. Probably, they thought they were smart as hell moving in close for only $1.5M instead of out in North Austin and saving the 30 minute or more drive. But, it turns out they weren't. Everyone in the NoVa area is looking for that big, overlooked bargain. They don't exist. There are millions of people looking for the same thing. You just have to reconcile yourself to the notion that the dream home you envisioned buying at 30 just isn't going to happen, at least not until you're much older, and if you're lucky, wealthier.

They are alright far enough from the house but close by, not so much and if you get pine bark beetles, will die overnight. Watch for the bright orange tops and take that tree down promptly and have it removed. Or it will spread to all surrounding pine trees quickly. Had that experience personally. Gum trees, by comparison, are just a pain in the butt every gumball season. But can turn beautiful colors in fall. Posted by: whig at October 14, 2026 04:17 PM (E4rtv) 266

Young people moved to growing areas, or cities for a while and lived on the minimum and traded up. Now the expectation is to get a huge house in a familiar place all at once.
That's why "Democratic" Socialism is getting so popular, young people want all the benefits of the city but not to pay for it. They don't want to go through the peanut butter-and-ramen live with 5 room mates in a dump stage of growing up, they want their own house with a robot maid, and a new apple product and PS(x) every year. Its partly having grown up being given everything and not required to work for anything or God forbid attempt and fail or get hurt. They're perpetually 13. They don't know exactly what socialism means, they just like the idea of having everything they need given them so they can spend whatever they earn on themselves.

Greta Gerwig, satanist who made the movie said that she was entirely driven by "faith" and claimed that she 'read all of Lewis' books" which I find highly unlikely given that he wrote about 40 of them.

Montecito, where all the Santa Barbara celebrities live, has a shit-ton of eucalyptus, which has rather shallow root systems. Every time the Santa Ana winds come blasting through the canyons, a bunch of eucalyptus comes crashing down, smashing Volvos and tearing up their personal putting greens in the backyard. While driving through Montecito to my favorite trailhead, I saw one of these that barely missed the bedroom wing of the house. The trunk was about 7 ft in diameter and leaning against the house. The woman who lived there was standing in the front yard wearing PJs with a thousand yard stare probably with soiled underwear. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at October 14, 2026 04:32 PM (y9nCu) 320

During her seven hour rape by seven rapists, she apparently had full possession and use of her phone, which she, get this, did not use to summon the authorities but instead chat with her roomie. Don't you Racists know that all women in the middle of a gang-rape experience trauma that causes them to text as if nothing is happening? See, all lies told by rape hoaxers are actually "classic signs of trauma." It's just Science, Bigots."Cornell 7" accuser Jane Doe sent her roommate a three-letter text during the time she alleges she was gang raped -- which a lawyer for one of the accused frat brothers cites as proof she wasn't too wasted to consent. Jane Doe's roommate texted her at 3:05 a.m. on Oct. 20, 2024, to ask her, "You coming home tn [tonight]?" according to a screenshot shared by TMZ show. "idk," the accuser replied, using the three-letter abbreviation for "I don't know." The text appears to have been sent from Jane Doe's phone in the middle of what she later alleged was a drunken, ketamine-fuelled gang-rape in the Chi Phi fraternity house on Cornell University's Ithaca, New York, campus. The exchange took place between half an hour and an hour after Doe says multiple men were snorting ketamine off her body, and she was so intoxicated she couldn't process what was going on. At least one of the seven accused fraternity brothers' lawyers says that the messages -- which featured in Cornell's internal disciplinary hearing -- show the woman was not incapacitated and could read, process, and respond to messages, TMZ reported.She also wrote "i love u" to one of her gang-rapists and reminisced about snorting ketamine ("ket") off one rapist's dong. Another classic "tell" of rape trauma. I think he was raped, too. Classic post-rape behavior. "Trauma" always causes women to behave as if they're just straight-up makin' shit up.

I have family in law enforcement and they tell me it's very sad that when they get rape reports they are very skeptical initially because so many females make false reports. They reasons are usually to avoid consequences for being out too late or they are stepping out on a spouse or boyfriend and so they make up the I was raped story to avoid accountability.

This is evil for so many reasons.
Destroying men's lives because she has regrets. (Even if I find their choices disgusting, they ALL made those choices.) Destroying the lives of men who never even touched her because she thought they might have. (Who were trying to navigate around people making disgusting choices. I think they also made a foolish choice to be in that environment, but some of the guys had literally nothing to do with the orgy.) Making real rape claims less believable. Rape is a heinous crime. Pretending "I felt pressured so I couldn't say no" is rape makes a mockery of actual rape claims (He put a knife to my throat; or they dragged me into a bush and then left me for dead). It's of a type with Stolen Valor. ("Stolen Victimhood" just doesn't quite cut it, though.) Posted by: Formerly Virginian at October 14, 2026 02:34 PM (zjgNU) 49

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at October 14, 2026 02:27 PM (JrHfD) The marxist Karen's running universities are doing their best to trash tradition and history. At my fraternity last year a sorority bimbo gets drunk in her room, goes over to the frat (carrying her bottle of vodka) and asks for her boyfriend. He comes.down, sees her, and takes her drunk ass back to her sorority. He hands her over to her roommate who then calls the sorority president. Together they put the bimbo to bed and calls the university complaining her boyfriend got her drunk. The fraternity (highest group GPA on campus) is put in probation. It took three alumni ($$$ donors) and an attorney to straighten it out, much to the chagrin of the tranny bitch overseeing the Greek system on campus.

"Something else that happened over those ten days was Jane Doe finding herself slut-shamed on campus"
Not really. The slut-shaming began almost immediately, and she completely brushed it off in the "it's my body, right" text to the Newell kid. She didn't care that everyone knew she fucked a bunch of popular jocks at the popular jock frat. She was almost proud of it. What she did care about was getting kicked off the Halloween party invite list. That's the entire reason she became hostile and accusatory. To her, getting dissed by the frat was far more embarrassing and status-reducing than fucking a bunch of the cool kids. There's also some issue she had with her own sorority sisters talking shit about her. (Shocker that they would do that, right?) I think that's tied up in the "what is happening to you" text from Newell (?). Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 14, 2026 02:42 PM (iFTx/) 84

She later told him she was a sergeant but not in his unit.This came out and he was court-martialed for rape and she was kicked out of the Army. They later married. Why was he charged? Because of the power level difference between a captain and a sergeant. She was unable to say no without fear of reprisal...so says the prosecutor.

I think Andrew Sullivan (who was also taking T) linked to that one. When I was younger I heard about T making women "aggressive". There were some guys (weirdos) who were administering this hormone to the women in their lives. I asked around because I didn't know why a man would want an aggressive woman in the house and the consensus I got back was that "aggressive" was code for horny.

I'm confused. She's a "massive slut" socially, but she knos she's not really. Right? Wut? Is this NORMAL coed behavior at Whorenell? Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 14, 2026 02:49 PM (hzuYO) ________ This is (sadly) very normal behavior and has been for a long time. As I've been saying, the popular and prestigious frats have a lot of social power and control who gets inside the velvet rope. There are many girls who will do almost anything to get inside that rope. Plus, 99% of everything girls under the age of 25 see in social media, TV, movies, concerts, and pretty much everything is girls acting like total whores. They internalize that and seek to mimic it. Ace posted yesterday about the sleazy, slutty, X-rated concerts of that Sabrina Carpenter twat, and she mimics on stage exactly what Craig did here: blow some guy while getting fucked from behind by another.

Faber was pretty clearly meant to be in New England. Most likely MA. Fawn Leibowitz who died in the tragic kiln explosion was a close-by women's college - one of the cluster in MA, my guess.
It's one of the interesting aspects of audience reaction. I watched it on the east coast, then on the west coast, and there was a lot more resonance on the east coast for the classic New England small private college 1960s vibe. Sort or reminded me of the scene in Annie Hall where the east coast audience guffawed and laughed at the Christmas scene opening, which showed bright sunny sky and palm trees before the camera panned down to Woody and whoever it was. On the west coast? No reaction whatsoever, treated just as a pretty transition visual to the conversation in the car. Posted by: rhomboid at October 14, 2026 03:03 PM (U/Byj) 181

Jane Doe came for the sex and not the party. Nearly all of the drinking was her before the meeting. They went private for the ketamine parts, which she knew about before hand. In very little of this in all reports is there the 'got plied with drink and caught off guard' or 'social pressure took her too far' that might be warded off by banning the party.

Posted by: Oldcat at October 14, 2026 03:11 PM (uhVAy) My guess would be is that people looked at the reaction to the Clancey thing and realized that even a lot of women were going: 'she's an evil, murdering bitch... maybe we should rethink a lot of this shit we have pushed lately.' This was an attempt to claw back credibility because a fair number of gals have had sexual encounters they have regretted. The thing is, they rushed in with pushing the sorry before they really did their own research and... well, commies, you hitched your star to a skank.

Too many people -- even some on our side -- think a legal complaint is some kind of proof or even evidence of what happened. It's not. 90% of what goes into a complaint is somewhere between Total Bullshit and Heavily Exaggerated. Don't ask me how I know.

Her lawyers are arguing that no matter how much time has elapsed or how clear consent was, if you regret later it becomes rape at that point.
Which is a novel legal concept that is insane in its implications. But they are so determined to make this a Thing for this election that they don't care. Unfortunately more than a few people know nothing about this case other than white frat boys raped a girl. The fact that it was not rape, that most of the guys were not white, and she thanked them for it later is either unknown or irrelevant to them.

Yea, and see my comment above about how this is all girls see: even A-listers are acting like total whores, and getting fame and fortune from it. "If they do it, it must be cool, right?"
The Whatever podcast was having a discussion on fertility. One male guest mentioned female fertility starts dropping after 28 and seriously after 35. All the young female guests said he was wrong and how they settled on why was fascinating. One woman said, "Well hey this celebrity just had a child at 40 so obviously you are wrong" and then all the others gloomed onto the same argument. Now, the argument isn't you can't get pregnant at 40, but that it is harder and more dangerous. But here what mattered to the young women was what celebrities were doing.

Her lawyers are arguing that no matter how much time has elapsed or how clear consent was, if you regret later it becomes rape at that point.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 14, 2026 03:18 PM (nIKjK) ==================== True, at least in this case. Cornell tried to support her contention, wanted to support her contention, and could not find even the slightest evidence she was raped. In fact, there was more evidence she sexually assaulted a guy that night than the reverse, in that she said she blew a guy while he was unconscious. None of that matters to her lawyer.

Women love arguing from exceptions, even if it makes no sense. Girlish guys do, too. Its very common online. If someone argues "women are the only ones with a uterus" some idiot will say "my mom had her uterus taken out, is she not a woman any longer? HUH???

Is it? There are three groups here 1) People that see Clancy as a murderer and want her punished 2) People that think it is not a criminal thing she murdered her kids because she had reasons to do it as a woman. Mental illness, hormones, emotions, whatever 3) Crazy people that think there was some grand conspiracy to help her husband get away with murdering the kids and pin it on her Ignore group 3 here. If group 2 is right then logically women shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions because they can't be held to the results of those decisions.

A, and that's a stupid false dilemma.
Well his point isn't to prove women are nuts, his point is to say these are the two options that supporters of Clancy are creating. Its their claim that women are inherently unable to control themselves because of hormones and emotions so they should be unpunished for their evil. Which would be the kind of person who ought not be given any power over anything, even children. I see women as being capable of controlling themselves and handling their emotions as well as men, as 99.99% have for all humanity.

I do not understand the male sex drive. Men can look at a woman that they don't know and is passed-out drunk and think, "I want to stick it in that."
I am far from an expert on sex, but to me it seems like the responses of and pleased behavior of a woman during sex would be the biggest draw, not just a hole. If that's all I need, I have a fist. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 14, 2026 03:36 PM (nIKjK) 359

This is horrible to read @ 147.
I'd already planned to leave a letter to our gorgeous (and they are, age 5 & 1yrs) granddaughters on how I hope they will be in HS and college if I am not here. My ROE as a teen through college. About not falling for peer pressure to be popular. To value themselves as they are in our eyes: perfect and beautiful. Not needing to be popular if sex/drugs/booze are expected. Stand out from the crowd. Wait for maturity that comes with age. Explain that I was very popular in HS and college and rarely dated but had a lot of male and female friends. Respect is everything. Do not fall for any HS or college guy who says he loves you...real love is in your future with a mature, ambitious man who respects you, has a future, and shares your values. That is love that endures. Think about what your parents taught you because they love and want to protect you. Love God and His teachings. Never settle. And that we love* them more than they will ever know. *Similar parental love, I think, kept me from making mistakes even 1k miles away in college.

Posted by: Ian S. at October 14, 2026 03:09 PM (2ocoG) ******* Around 2002, with both sons at party universities (UF and FSU) I read about Title IX. Was immediately disgusted and livid in that males were kicked out of college and had to register as sexual predators after consensual sex and then the girl lying and booze. It was always the booze. No mutual texts of proof were recognized. They both got raging emails from their crazy mom to possibly get written consent and have it notorized if they had sex. I raised them to believe they might die of AIDS, by the way,and to be careful. They were as far as I know. One married his HS sweetheart. Casanova finally married two years ago. They know I mean well, am basically harmless (but entertaining); and they also never know what I will email. The most recent was the hairy eeslamic terrorist of a week ago who was used as an ad for hair removal. It's not easy having me for a mother, but I'm who they got.

You do realize that this "de-banking" push was part of the overall plan to MAKE OPPOSITION TO THE SOCIALIST AGENDA ILLEGAL, right?
You think it's an outlier that Germany is trying to ban from existence its most popular political party (the AfD), and that France has tried to ban its most popular political party (RN) as well, both for the "crime" of simply having political opinions that differ from the socialist super-government? They want to do the same thing here -- make being "conservative" impossible, illegal, a crime. And the corporations will play right along, feeding the alligator until it is too late.

I've been seeing various people going on college campuses and asking the students if they like socialism. If they say they do the interviewer asks them to explain what socialism is. The answers usually start with something like "everyone gets what they need" and quickly when asked follow up questions of how this specifically works ends up with the student admitting they have no idea what socialism is.

Every day, we hear about criminals who launder yuuuuge, luxurious amounts of cash. From our own political leaders, down to some Minneapolis Omar running a few learing senters, to corner boys running dope.
Nobody has ever cared about where the criminals stored the cash. Whether they funneled it through Wells Fargo or USBank doesn't matter to anyone - not regulators, not their own executives, not their so-called "relationship managers," not their consumers, and nobody in the general news-reading public. There is no reputation-management to be done. Nobody figured these people were honest in the first place. The idea that an actual, tax-paying, licensed business would need to be debanked in order to preserve a bank's """reputation""" is risible. We already know these banks will issue a home loan to Big Daddy Slim to use for a trap house, no questions asked. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 14, 2026 01:40 PM (BI5O2) 60

It's likely disassembled bulk payments from overseas. But, you're not going to get away with that, and have the documented required paperwork to back it up unless a bank is playing along. Tip of the iceberg, this is. Posted by: Orson at October 14, 2026 01:40 PM (dIske) 61

What are decent alternatives to these banks, because we have accounts with one of them and I'd like close them? That is just infuriating.
Dodd/Frank and the other post-2008 finance laws were passed for the purpose of locking in existing banks and making it near-impossible to start a new competitor. Similar to how Obamacare locked in the existing insurance companies. You can see why Anthropic and OpenAI think they can run the same play. Posted by: Ian S. at October 14, 2026 02:14 PM (2ocoG) 142

Dealing with JP Morgan was especially unpleasant when handling my Dad's trust after he died.
Among other things, after I liquidated his investments and distributed all of the cash, my older brother came back and claimed I didn't have to do so, that I could have distributed the (shitty) investments intact to him. This was not true and against my Dad's wishes, but the reps at JP Morgan were pissed at me and convinced my brother that he had lost out on investment returns. After that I told my brother to read a fucking book about investing. Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at October 14, 2026 02:17 PM (qwx/I) 155

Mossad Commentary @MOSSADil · 8h 🤮 KAMALA HARRIS: BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SHOULD HAVE ACTED “SOONER AND MORE FORCEFULLY” AGAINST ISRAEL Speaking in Seoul, former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized both the Trump administration and her own Biden-Harris administration over Israel’s war in Gaza. “Most recently, the failure to use our leverage to curtail the Israeli government's horrific conduct in the war in Gaza, both under the current administration, which offers Netanyahu a blank check, and our administration before, where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully.” Harris said the United States has a “moral obligation to human rights and international law” and should use its leverage over allies accordingly.

I see no issue with including those, it is far better that people choose to make the process easy on themselves, and creating the climate where that becomes the norm is what is happening. The claim about Obama deporting anyone is a massive fraud, and always has been. Under Obama, it was claimed that anyone who came to the border but was denied entry for any reason was a deportation, even though all falling under this category had never set food in this country. It was just a number game to give the media something to say and make them look like they were doing something. when they absolutely were not.

Posted by: deadrody at October 14, 2026 04:37 PM (vgB0v) Ilhan "Omar" Falsified Her Birth Date In Her Immigration PaperworkShe lied about being 17 when she applied for citizenship, because the law stated that a minor could piggyback off a naturalized parent's citizenship but an adult couldn't. So she changed her actual age, 18 or 19, to 17. Then her staffers changed her Wikipedia entry, which had shown her real birthdate, to her fraudulent birthdate, so that it would agree with her fraudulent immigration paperwork. That last part isn't illegal. It just shows she knows she was lying all along.Actually he wasn't her father. Her real father was Nur Said Elmi, but he couldn't get a visa, because he was a Somali war-criminal trained in revolutionary warfare by the literal communists. So she pretended to be a part of the "Omar" family. That's why she could marry her brother -- last name "Elmi" -- without everyone immediately realizing that it was her brother. David Steinberg reports this is a "an open and shut case" with no questions about the facts of Ilhan "Omar's" crime spree. The only questions are about the statute of limitations. But there is no statute of limitations for deporting someone who obtained citizenship or a visa fraudulently. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Repost from my X feed... Had to argue with someone about Ohio early vote. Figured I'd post a summary. Remember that in 2022, the GOP won both the Governor and Senate races, and did so easily. In 2026 mail vote is way down, but IPEV is up a decent amount over 2022. However, if you look at total early vote, you see the following: Cleveland is 15% of their 2022 EV Ohio as a whole is 16% of 2022. Cleveland IPEV is running about 1300 per day right now. That needs to increase to 6500 per day to equal 2022 total EV. That is a 5x increase in voting per day. Ohio IPEV is running about 38,000 per day. That needs to increase to 58,000 per day to meet the 2022 benchmark, or a 35% increase. I'll leave it to speculation what the meaning is of one of the 5 core Democrat strongholds being 1/5th of the needed rate compared to the state as a whole being 2/3rds of the needed rate.

I think they've got her on the immigration stuff. They are now subpoenaing her relatives to get information from them as well. Sounds like they already have what they need to deport her.

But couldn't she claim the original date was an error? And couldn't she pay the Somalia authorities to back her up with false documents?
I guess a case could be made that if the documents were in error when she applied, she should have fixed them first, but then you have to convince a judge. I don't know.

They’re testing the waters with her. They know moderate Dems, who control party leadership, see her as a far left, antisemitic liability. If the response from Jeffries and the like seems mid in the GOP’s eyes, they’ll start harassing more Dems they have an ax to grind with to normalize it more and more. Remember that time she criticized an arms deal, and the Biden DoJ immediately opened an investigation into her with no evidence? You're completely unhinged if you think Democrats will take this lying down. No matter what anyone thinks of Omar, she's a blue seat, and Dems protect their own. Sure, they want to denaturalize and deport her. But how is a raid on her home going to help with that? If they want to find a mistake in her paperwork, they can comb through the paperwork without setting foot in her house. The purpose of the raid was to intimidate her and others and to provide joy to the MAGA base. we'll probably soon start hearing allusions to drugs, child abuse, illegal weapons, eating pets and unnatural sexual practices.

Some context on denaturalization:
https://x.com/derzum_/status/ 2107271254059233680 @derzum_ · Oct 5 From 1990 to 2017, just 305 cases to revoke citizenship were filed. From 1967 to 2017, fewer than 150 cases actually succeeded. Trump's DOJ has now filed 163 cases for denaturalization in 20 months, more than half the 27 year total in less than a tenth of the time. ------- It's very rare, but Trump's DOJ is trying to make it much less rare.

The statute of limitation issues are interesting, and there may be a path through beyond denaturalization.
As I understand it, there's a 5-year SoL in federal fraud cases, with a 10-year SoL for certain immigration frauds. These have long past, and there is no criminal "discovery" rule that I'm aware of. But (again, as I understand it) for certain ongoing or scheme-like criminal fraud claims, the SoL doesn't start running until the last act in the scheme. So, if she tried to cover up her fraud by scrubbing Wiki in 2018, it's possible -- possible -- that the SoL didn't start running until then. For civil actions, there is a SoL "discovery rule." So that's always an option, but I want to see this thundercunting cockroach face criminal charges. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 14, 2026 12:27 PM (iFTx/) 70

Officers responded to a call Tuesday from a local resident who had discovered what appeared to be grenades dating back to the war among the contents of their estate haul, according to the Austin Police Association. A police bomb squad confirmed the grenades were live and active, meaning they contained explosive material and could potentially denotate.
Squad members were able to seize and remove the devices, while officers "quickly secured the scene, set up a perimeter, and kept neighbors safe," the police association said, praising the bomb squad for their expertise as well as their "steady nerves."

From earlier re: Trump in Montana
Someone said it’s for MT-1 which is a dead beat. In 2022 MT-1 it was close, Rep won it by 4. In 2024 Rep won it by 7. So it’s not a gimme seat but it’s a lot closer than it should be for comfort. Montana redistricted their seats to both be safe red seats. It got a second seat in 2022 and the original districts were both 60-40. But of course. A “judge” said nah bruh you have to give Dems a fighting chance in one of them. Only Democrat states like Mass can have all their seats safe blue. So that’s why MT-1 is competitive.

From Daily Kos on Omar... People have the sadzz Ilhan Omar stands strong in face of racist DHS raid Homeland Security agents raided the home of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a longtime critic of President Donald Trump who has been the target of his xenophobic, racist, and Islamophobic attacks for years. The raid was purportedly connected to documents signed by Omar’s late father while he was in the process of seeking asylum as a Somali refugee, when Omar was a child. Omar is a U.S. citizen who has held federal office since 2019. Led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Democrats released a statement about the “deeply disturbing” raid, which they said “raises serious questions about the continued corrupt weaponization of the federal government against Donald Trump’s adversaries.” “For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations. Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family,” the statement said.

Humanoid Robot Under Investigation After Alleged Assault on Teen Girl in Germany . . . . A 16-year-old girl was molested and harassed by a humanoid-type robot in the German city of Cologne — which notoriously already has enough of a sex assault problem without introducing Chinese-made robots to the equation — leading police to confiscate the four-foot-tall machine. The girl was standing outside a burger joint in the German city a little after midnight on Sunday morning when the robot approached her from behind, grabbed her buttocks, and thrusted on her, police said. The victim alerted police to the attack and officers quickly confiscated the robot, and two cell phones, as evidence. It is said males aged 19 and 16-years-old were controlling the robot and livestreaming it to social media, reports Die Welt.

I don't see a route by which she's not toast, even if Boasberg is involved. Posted by: Ian S. ================= There should be a fourth: her identity. She is not an "Omar." She is an Elmi.

@KalshiPolitics
James Talarico has a 63% chance to beat Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race, according to Kalshi traders. But what percentage of Texas Senate traders are buying Yes on Talarico? • All Americans: 46% • Texans: 42% • Non-Texas: 48% Interesting to see this breakdown of betting odds. Essentially, Talarico is favored in the betting odds at Kalshi because of blue states hundreds of miles away from Texas insisting he's going to win. Posted by: TheJamesMadison So how does Kalshi get 63%, when only 46% of bettors are for him? Are those 46% putting down that much more money than the 54% betting on Paxton?

I've seen 2 polls in the last day that have Paxton winning. Not because the race has changed. Because it's the middle of October and this literally happens every single election. The media polls are as corrupt as the media. They are used to energize the left and depress our votes. As we get closer to election day they start to reflect reality so they can save even some credibility. Every single election. Posted by: JackStraw at October 14, 2026 12:56 PM (viF8m) 201

Betting markets have prop 1 in Idaho at 20% to pass. It was right Aron d 50% until recently. I guess some pols must have been released showing defeat and the market tanked.
You’d think it’s crazy for the left to bother with a ballot measure that allows late term abortions in Idaho. But the left fights on all fronts, even when there’s a low chance of winning. They flood the zone. Because every dollar spent fighting Prop 1 in Idaho is $1 that isn’t available for a close senate race in Ohio.

156 TJM, I rely on your and whig’s wisdom to keep hoping for the best, but the specter of 2012, when polls were dissected regularly here to promise a Romney win keeps me worried. Fingers crossed.
Posted by: EveR Romney was a straight polling miss--there were two tracks in that race. One assuming that Romney would win narrowly, the other assumed that Obama's new coalition was still large enough even after the glow was gone, to win in 2012. Plus, as we know now, probably a bit of fraud in swing states which has grown like cancer by 2020. Right now, the better pollsters could and should be using early voting and vote requests to rectify errors in likely voting screens instead of asking about chances of voting or using past recall screening on their votes in 2024. So far, early electorate is whiter, older, and more GOP than 2022 which is the closest past midterm. Can vary a bit by states as VA is an exception to the general trend right now.

@ Dave_in_Fla; the OH early vote (and other states) argument on X is schizophrenic.
Blue X is saying, "Ha! our EV numbers are way up over 2022 everywhere--blue tsunami!!" Red X is saying, "Yes, but not in counties you need and not in demographics you're counting on; youth and blacks. Plus, it looks like your shooting your wad all on the first day as your number drop off after." And the Blue X cope is, "well, our guys are all going to show up on Election Day 'cause they don't trust vote-by-mail 'cause of Trump now." Also, I'd note: 2022 was the high-water mark of Dem mail vote cheating. Most of the states still had Covid rules in place for ballots and voting.

It's too late to make much betting the races. If you're going to do it, go early, and bet relatively small.
For instance, the day after the 2016 Indiana primary was a payday if you bet Trump in the general. Bookies had that at 25 or 26:1 that day. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 14, 2026 01:08 PM (BI5O2) 263

>> Or both.
There are a lot of classic propaganda ops going on right now with both the media, social media and betting markets. Those dominions are staffed by people who peddle counter factual information and try to move opinion through repetition across those mediums. I am a little disappointed at platforms like X, because it seems a lot of the fake accounts and activity is not being caught, and allowed to persist. Regular media audiences are shrinking and it’s mostly bias confirmation for liberals. Almost no honest person believes them anymore. The betting markets are clearly overwhelmed by foreign and domestic liberal influences. Polls too. The bias is something even a small child with basic reasoning and math skills could see.

It's not as bad as online sports betting, but this is a malicious industry preying almost exclusively on young males, many underage or close to it. Yes, I know and agree that nobody is forcing anyone to gamble. But literally the entire sports, media, and gambling industries are lined up to pressure and prey on naive young men. If this were happening to young ladies, there would be criminal prosecutions. But who cares about destroying men's lives?

Looks like I've missed the most important day of the week.
And Joe Mannix too. Need to set my clock. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 14, 2026 04:27 PM (RBKzD) Wednesday Morning Rant![]() For the first time since the ICC's formation, however, it is no longer pursuing its primary goal in a vacuum. For decades, the United States has ignored the ICC as it has pushed on the United States, despite its illegitimacy. The Trump Administration has had enough, and made that clear almost from the beginning. Early in the second administration, in February of 2025, Trump issued EO 14203, establishing sanctions against the ICC: ... the International Criminal Court (ICC), as established by the Rome Statute, has engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel. The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel, as neither country is party to the Rome Statute or a member of the ICC. Neither country has ever recognized the ICC's jurisdiction ... The United States will impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC's transgressions, some of which may include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members, as their entry into our Nation would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore determine that any effort by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute protected persons, as defined in section 8(d) of this order, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to address that threat. ...And then what happened? If you guessed, "nothing," then you were right - albeit only briefly. In August of 2025, Secretary of State Rubio announced individual sanctions against various ICC personnel. In September of that year, the sanctions were expanded to cover various NGOs that were working with the ICC against American interests. In December of that year, sanctions were expanded again, targeting more ICC personnel. In February of this year, Trump extended the emergency declared in the EO. In August of this year, Rubio again expanded the sanctions list and promised a "whole of government" effort to destroy the ICC: Our whole of government campaign to dismantle the threat posed by the ICC to national sovereignty will be sweeping and we expect more countries to join our campaign by ending their funding and participation in this politicized and unaccountable court. The ICC's ability to target American nationals and those of other non-States Parties must end. The Trump Administration stands ready to take additional measures, if necessary, to systematically dismantle the ICC until it is incapable of threatening American sovereignty.The ICC has, of course, not stopped pretending it has any say over Americans or American policy, or the policy and personnel of other non-member states. Those states will respect the ICC's authority, come hell or high water! Flash forward to this month, and the administration has hit the accelerator. First, the rhetoric from the State Department: Our message is clear: the United States and its people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC. Both parties agree on this, but only President Trump has the resolve to take the action needed to end this threat for good. Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. We expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC and that rely on American servicemembers for their defense, to rein in the court. If they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, brick by brick, until Americans are threatened no longer.Then, came the action. The sanctions were expanded again - not just to individuals and specific malign NGOs, but on the entire ICC and any business they do with any organization in (or transiting through) the United States: * Sanctions ImplicationsNo more business is to be done with the ICC. Treasury issued a blanket 180-day authorization for all activities to encourage a diplomatic solution, but when that expires, it becomes illegal to do any business with or provide any support to the ICC. They knew it was coming. There were sob stories about sanctioned international bureaucrats running well in advance of the latest action. The Press has done its usual thing of maligning the administration's "fear of international law" and decrying the "attacks" on the ICC. The frequency of such articles was increasing throughout the summer, as insiders braced for an acceleration. Well, they got the expected acceleration. The ICC, of course, denounced the move: "The Court cannot stand alone. Its fate now rests also in the hands of the states that created it," it said in a statement. "This is not just about defending a single institution, but about safeguarding the international order grounded upon the rule of law. History will judge this moment."Nothing about the ICC is even remotely related to the "rule of law." If it was, then it perhaps would not routinely violate its jurisdictional boundaries as it pursues its nakedly political objectives. As a delightful little sideshow to all of this, a former ICC psuedo-judge won the Nobel Peace Prize this year on the same day the new sanctions landed. It wasn't a coincidence. The Nobel committee all but cited the actions against the ICC as one of the reasons for awarding the prize (from the same article as the previous excerpt): The Nobel Prize awarded hours earlier to South African jurist Navi Pillay, who sat on the ICC's Appeals Chamber from 2003-2008, was explicitly described by the prize committee as a gesture of support for such tribunals at a time when "judges and institutions of international law are under political attack"High-larious. And as expected, the rollout was ready. Article after article flowed about how mean Trump is for the sanctions expansion right after the great Judge won a Peace Prize! Some even went so far as to claim that the sanctions expansion is because Trump didn't win the prize. It is to laugh. But what is not a laughing matter is the continuously increasing pressure on the ICC. This organization has no right to take any action against any non-member state. The United States does not answer to The Hague, and consequences for the ICC's arrogant, disdainful overreach are long since overdue. I look forward to the ICC's full capitulation or constant stumbling as it can no longer get any money, products or services from the United States in any way. It doesn't much matter to me. The ICC needs a firm lesson in the meaning of sovereignty. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Excellent rant (imo)
Aside: President Bill Clinton signed the Rome Statute on December 31, 2000. He did so to maintain U.S. influence over the developing procedures of the court, but he explicitly noted that the treaty had "significant flaws". He refused to submit it to the U.S. Senate for ratification until those concerns were addressed. In May 2002, the Bush administration formally notified the United Nations that the U.S. no longer intended to ratify the treaty. The primary reason was fear of politicized, unchecked prosecutions. Washington was deeply concerned that the International Criminal Court (ICC) would attempt to assert jurisdiction over U.S. military personnel and government officials deployed globally, infringing on national sovereignty. >icj org, 'US unsigning of ICC Treaty threatens grave consequences for international law' 06 May 2002 Posted by: L - No nic... at October 14, 2026 11:12 AM (NFX2v) Posted by: Crusader at October 14, 2026 11:12 AM (TN0g+) 19

Question: What has the ICC done to punish china for abusing the Uighurs
Answer: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has not punished China, as the court has determined it does not have the legal jurisdiction to investigate or prosecute the matter. Because China is not a party to the Rome Statute—the treaty that established the court—the ICC cannot investigate alleged crimes committed inside Chinese territory IOW, f*** all.

So this turd dropped in the punch bowl that is today's news:
"NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has reached a deal with the City Council to shut down the city's iconic horse-drawn carriage industry, banning operations in Central Park by June 2028. The proposed legislation, called Romanch's Law, is named after an 18-year-old tourist from India who was fatally injured when a carriage bolted and overturned in the park. The measure would require city agencies to develop a workforce transition plan for drivers, owners and stable workers, but financial compensation is not guaranteed. PETA celebrated the agreement, while the union representing carriage drivers and owners has advocated for tougher safety rules instead of an outright ban. The City Council is scheduled to vote October 22." Thus was never about animal cruelty. It's about the valuable land near the Javits Center, that can get developed for a ton of money once the stables are torn down. Diblasio tried this too. I'm most annoyed it's happening during Mamdami's reign, because he and the city council are no doubt getting sweet kickbacks from this. And no one in the liberal media will investigate because he is the sainted one. Posted by: LizLem at October 14, 2026 11:14 AM (Toos7) 24

In 1945, Stalin shifted the Polish borders roughly 300 miles to the west, and claimed the eastern part that was formerly Poland as part of the USSR. I don't remember the ICC complaining about that, so maybe Israel should just claim the entire Levant and push Syria and Lebanon into Turkey.

I mean, the Eurofags had gotten that down to a fine art before OrangeManBad told them to bomb their own enemies, and leave us out of it. "Oh, you don't have an air force left after you spent all your money buying IPads to give away to voters so you could stay in power? Sucks to be you.

Pretty much. Euros want the ICC and various other international bodies to tie down the US, not to actually do anything against the actual criminal douchebags operating internationally like the IRGC, Russia intel, etc.
The Euros want the power that goes with being in the first rank of countries, but they don't want to make the sacrifices that entails. The ICC is a nominal cost, nothing like the cost of an Army, Navy/Marines, and Air/Space Force, but which ideally would allow them to pretend to be in the big leagues.

31. Ugh. I hate giving Clinton any credit for anything. But I gotta give him his due here.
Same for W. Posted by: Bulg Yes, that was a good political move. OTOH, the Rs were all over his administration, financially and foreign policy wise. He leaned toward nation building. (Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) with China: First Summit with Vladimir Putin: The Camp David Summit, and more.) Remembering the fallout from the 1993 Somalia intervention and the 1999 Kosovo bombing campaign, congressional Republicans closely scrutinized foreign military deployments, pushing to restrict prolonged American footprints in the Balkans and Africa. The GOP-controlled Senate famously rejected the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in late 1999, setting a hard precedent that limited Clinton's multilateral environmental and non-proliferation ambitions heading into 2000. But all-in-all, there seemed to be a good bit of reaching across the aisle and much more consideration for each party's goals. We would have never had that will Hillary.

And just what the hell is "international law" anyway?
Posted by: I gotta ask The ancient source of international law are treaties but only for those nations signing the treaties which they can always tear up giving due notice. The secondary source of international law are accepted customs like treatment of diplomats, embassies, etc. The modern phase began after WWII was a treaty making craze where you had all sorts of treaties covering everything. We signed all sorts of defense treaties as did the Soviets, and economic treaties, intellectual property treaties, etc. Some just codified existing customs but a lot of them were extensions of globo homo and even aimed to suppressing domestic opposition to things like illegal migrants. But the whole concept of international law is foreign to most of the world and they ignore these treaties as wastepaper unless some country or group of countries actually enforce them. Waste of time and inevitably the anti west assholes end up running the institutions and start immediately trying to claim broader jurisdictions than they actually have and trying to go after states that never signed the treaties that actually allow it.

Nope. Posted by: Lizzy at October 14, 2026 11:33 AM (rOKnE) The US, China, and Russia are not parties. All else are equivalently third world nations seeking status that they have not and cannot gain. Israel is not a member because member-status seeking Arab states explicitly designated Israeli acts for inclusion as acts within the jurisdiction of the ICC. Big wonder Israel didn't join.

That was understood up until the 70s. After france withdrew from nato in 66 the writing was on the wall as far as europe caring about their own defense or their treaty obligations. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at October 14, 2026 11:32 AM (I43vL) That was actually kinda brilliant, as the Frogs decided to read a map. They realized that NATO would effectively defend France from the Soviets without the Frogs having to commit to the NATO military structure, simply because W Germany was in between them. So the Frogs left the military arm of NATO but continued to participate in the political arm, giving them a say in how NATO operated. Turned all of Euroland into their bitch.

Posted by: Crusader Eh, Mustache man and his Soviet counterpart were both leftists. To them, the point of any legal claims was to confound idiots that thought it was raining while the evil duo pissed on people's legs. And actually, if you are talking about Poland, one of the claims that original mustache man made was that the Poles were treating ethnic Germans badly in contravention of treaties. Same ploy as the Sudeten Germans in the Czech crisis. Even staged a fake and gay 'attack' by the alleged Poles against Germany as a casus belli for war. So obvious, like most of what the ICC is doing, that a blind man could see that mustache man was laughing at the dopes thinking international law was a thing.

Netflix is laying off around 1,000 employees, around 6% of its workforce, in what marks the company’s largest axing to date. Most of the cuts will effect employees on the product, technology, legal and HR teams, co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters told the staff on Wednesday morning.

Another drive by, sorry to not be around much 😥
Repost from my X feed... Had to argue with someone about Ohio early vote. Figured I'd post a summary. Remember that in 2022, the GOP won both the Governor and Senate races, and did so easily. In 2026 mail vote is way down, but IPEV is up a decent amount over 2022. However, if you look at total early vote, you see the following: Cleveland is 15% of their 2022 EV Ohio as a whole is 16% of 2022. Cleveland IPEV is running about 1300 per day right now. That needs to increase to 6500 per day to equal 2022 total EV. That is a 5x increase in voting per day. Ohio IPEV is running about 38,000 per day. That needs to increase to 58,000 per day to meet the 2022 benchmark, or a 35% increase. I'll leave it to speculation what the meaning is of one of the 5 core Democrat strongholds being 1/5th of the needed rate compared to the state as a whole being 2/3rds of the needed rate.

The painting The Trojan Women Setting Fire to Their Fleet by Claude Lorrain depicts an event from Virgil's Aeneid, where the women of Troy, tired of wandering after the fall of their city, attempt to burn their ships to force their men to settle in Sicily. This act is spurred on by the goddess Juno, but is ultimately thwarted by divine intervention when Aeneas prays for rain to extinguish the flames.

I read part of the Aeneid in college when I was reading aloud to blind students.
IIRC, Aeneas was kind of a dullard. He's always asking folks -- gods, humans, Achilles in the underworld -- what he should do, and they all tell him "go to Italy." And then he merrily goes about the business of going somewhere else besides Italy. Finally, it dawns on him, "Hey, maybe I should go to Italy," and he does. Maybe there was something I missed at the time, since I didn't read the whole thing. But that's the way I remember it. Posted by: Bulg at October 14, 2026 09:45 AM (77rzZ) 54

I could stare at this for hours just taking in the details of the ships and landscape. His skill is extraordinary. But it is his use of light and shadow that makes his work stand out for me. There is a luminous quality to the sky and the surrounding land. It is one of the qualities that make the Dutch Masters of that period so effective. I wonder if he had any influence on Maxfield Parrish.

36 Did ancient ships have elaborate frigging rigging like that?
Posted by: gp at October 14, 2026 09:39 AM (Jr5Lq) —— Nope. That wasn’t something developed until at least a thousands years later. Trojan-era ships were basically flat barges powered by oars. They had maybe one simple square sail. I don’t think even Columbus’ ships had rigging as advanced in this painting. I saw a life size mockup of the deck of the Santa Maria in Barcelona. I was shocked at how small it was. Posted by: Elric the Blade at October 14, 2026 09:51 AM (VepBY) 77

Madame Mayhem, both are amazing! Hope you have the best visit to both.
Washington specifically designed the long walking path towards the house, with its wooded areas to be curvy, and wind in such a way to hint at coming attractions. I did not learn about the coolness of the landscaping until after I'd visited.want to go back and experience it with that in mind. Hope you enjoy it, it's just the best. You can buy cool gardening stuff or things like lavender come mix using their own lavender in the gift shop. Arlington is a sacred place. I get chills during the changing of the guard. If you have any relatives, it's cool to track down their graves and find them. If you have time, seeing the Lee home on the property is also cool, but not essential if you have to save time.

Sandy, I was aghast at reading about Indians in Uganda. They basically took over the country, and lead it now, and the native Ugandans are second class citizens in their own country.
So Mandami's family are all colonizers. Meanwhile, Ilhan's family are all genocide supports. They lied about it on their immigration papers, otherwise they would never have been let in the country. Nice party you have there, dems! Posted by: LizLem at October 14, 2026 10:29 AM (Toos7) 177

Working with AI personally, I've been humbled. I'll never again deploy any code I've written without having an AI review it first. IMHO, that's what all devs should do.
— You still write code? 🙂 My team is pretty much all AI all the time now. I have not written a lot of code in a while since I’m a manager. Which sucks as a job but fuck it the money makes up for it lol. I did keep up with things for myself to not lose the skills. With AI, what’s the point? I’ll probably never write a line of code again manually. What will happen though is people will forget how to write code. It’s like not going to the gym muscle atrophy. 10 years from now will anyone even be able to read the code AI produces? It’s a weird place we’re heading towards.

Dinesh is crashing out about the H1B stuff, but in one of his documentaries he admitted he had opportunities in America specifically because its capitalist business structure is not as corrupt and class structured as India.

I don't understand how the immigrant ethos is now "yeah I'm here for a better life, now let's change everything about America and make it like the place I fled from!" That was not the way. Now it is. — It’s a numbers thing. When you’re the only Indian family in town, you adapt and become American. When there are 100 families you form a pack that advances your group interests and you stay Indian. That’s why early immigrants from Asia assimilated. But as they grew in numbers they stopped having to assimilate. It was easy to just be Indian in the US instead of be Americans from India. Throw in the woke bullshit of every culture is superior to American culture indoctrination in schools and 2nd generation immigrants stop assimilating as well.

A lot of suburban districts in red states are in play.
That's mainly where he's aiming it seems. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 14, 2026 10:59 AM (6ydKt) Montana has 2 seats both mainly rural. Montana doesn’t really have suburbs. There’s no spinning away having to defend Montana either in the house or senate. If Montana is in play it’s not a good sign. Trump won the state by 20 points in 2024.

245 That list of states ain’t a good sign. Montana should be a lock. As should Kansas.
Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortezz Trump is going to Montana and Kansas more to seal the deal than because of worry. Some states, Trump might create issues like for Steve Hilton or Bruce Blakeman. It is all about turnout now and I think Trump wants a smashing red wave type midterm. EV and mail in ballots so far show no sign of a blue wave and those are hard data points and this is apparent now in multiple states. Trump's rallies seem to be unique in that they actually drive turnout while most pols just have boring photo op types designed more with the audience as a backdrop. So far, VA is one of the exceptions showing engaged Democrats but Trump might be a hindrance there because of all the laid off govt workers and contractors. Two important swing House races there. New York is another one but Blakeman in the governor's office and the awful performances of Holchul and Leticia in debates is affecting US House races there. Lawler and there are two Dems suddenly appearing in trouble there. That is the problem with Dems, they gerrymandered for a blue wave for the midterms.

This is why he's in Montana:
Montana’s 1st Congressional District is a tight race between Republican Aaron Flint and Democrat Sam Forstag, with recent polls showing a statistical tie. The Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball have downgraded the race from "Likely Republican" to "Lean Republican," while Silver Bulletin gives Forstag a 38.8% chance of winning. The 2nd District is safe R. I don't know enough about Montana politics to talk about the reasons the race is close there, but Trump having to campaign there isn't a big warning flare. He's just trying to get Republicans to actually go to the polls in a mid-term for a 2nd term president. That's a notoriously bad time for any incumbent in the same party as the president in Congress. Most presidents have never campaigned like Trump is right now for a mid-term. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 14, 2026 11:13 AM (6ydKt) 267
Fun history fact of Trump and Alaska
President Trump said Alaska is very special to him because his grandfather was there a long time ago, left his mark, and the area has always been important to him. His grandfather, Friedrich Trump, left Germany at 16, went to the Klondike Gold Rush via Alaska, and made his money running restaurants and hotels for the miners in the Yukon (not by digging for gold). He was a rough and tumble frontier businessman, left with a fortune, and eventually settled in New York - where his son later built the family’s real-estate empire. "They were thinking about canceling. They said, sir, you’re very busy. This is very tough. I said, where am I going? Alaska. Eight hours. You think I’d ever cancel? I don’t cancel for Alaska. I don’t cancel!" 😂 "My grandfather was up here a long time ago. I don’t know. He was great, but he had a little bit of a reputation, I will be honest, as did most of the people that came up here. 😅 He was a little rough, but he was great. They remember. He left his trail. But he was here a long time ago. A special place to me. Very important place to me." Posted by: whig at October 14, 2026 11:59 AM (E4rtv) 268
Most presidents have never campaigned like Trump is right now for a mid-term.
Posted by: SpeakingOf I have never seen this in modern political history. And I saw a reason why, Trump has been extremely effective in mobilizing his voters over time since 2016-18. Probably the closest comparison would be FDR but FDR never had the kind of flak that Trump gets from teh press nor did FDR have the stamina to do what Trump has done with rallies around the US now for a decade!

A Wall Street Journal report said Guilfoyle apparently asked a donor to President Donald Trump for $100,000.Sugar-tits doth protest too much, as if she were truly innocent then she wouldn't have resigned, or am I missing something? Meh she's about as Greek as Caroline Kennedy was Japanese. Still, considering the media's penchant to destroy President Trump and the MAGA movement especially with the midterms really just around the corner, and with the heat being turned up on the freakshow candidates of the Democrats that, please God, might actually result in their absolute drubbing at the polls, instead of a much ballyhooed Blue wave. In any case, if Guilfoyle were part of a Democrat administration, everyone would've lined up to defend her shouting Right Wing hit job from the rooftops, which with extremely rare exception is something that we never do, the shampeachments against Trump notwithstanding, and even then the GOP usually bends over and grabs its ankles. But the Left, unless they have no alternative or it's political expediency, will defend their own to the hilt. But that said, as CBD stated and I agreed if as it certainly seems Guilfoyle is a crooked grifter, then good riddance to bad rubbish. Regardless of party, the crooks must be expunged with extreme prejudice. And with that we shall see what becomes of the Brother-Focker Ilhan Omar. Given her melanin -content, hormones and Islam I have strong doubts she suffers little more than a wrist-slap. And speaking of political expediency and Gavin Newsom (Guilfoyle was his receptacle for a while, before she ultimately wound up on the receiving end of the attentions of one of Trump's non-Barron sons), well of all the things to happen in California this is the last thing I expected. The state of California is building its first new steel mill in more than 50 years, on a 174-acre site in Kern County, roughly 70 miles southeast of Bakersfield. . . Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office released a statement saying, “This project will bring steel manufacturing back to the Golden State and localize the supply chain – supporting a transition to clean, in-state manufacturing of materials essential for public infrastructure like roads, bridges and hospitals.” The construction of the new mill is surprising to many, considering the state’s Democrat lawmakers and residents lean more toward green energy over that produced by fossil fuel.While this is certainly a good thing for California and the American economy in general, you can bet your sweet ass Newsom is only allowing this to go forward as a means to burnish his extemely tarnished image as the governor of a failed state whose policies over his tenure smothered its economy. I can only imagine that there are a shit-ton of caveats and red tape in the agreement, and some time down the road the California's EPA will shut the mill down of its own volition or due to the pressure from the Enviro-Communists. But, regardless of the how and why of this miracle, let a thousand steel mills blossom all across the fruited plain. And speaking of the communists and their temporary, enemy-of-my-enemy is my friend, allies of convenience Muslims... As writer John Daniel Davidson recently argued, the current riots in France illustrate yet again the alliance of Islamists and communists, or the Red-Green Alliance: “This is the Red-Green alliance of the socialist/Antifa left and Muslim immigrants, operationalized to bring the country to its knees through widespread rioting ahead of national elections next year.” Despite their many differences, the two groups have united “to tear down western institutions and the Christian faith on which they were built.”If we are conquered, my only consolation is hoping to survive long enough to see the Muslims behead the Democrat-Leftists en masse before I draw my last breath. Until then, we still have to deal with this shit: For months now, almost every time a Democrat has been asked by someone in the media about the far-out views of a candidate who is part of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), we have heard about how their party is a ‘big tent.’ This simply doesn’t cut it because what they are saying is that their tent is big enough for someone who wants to defund the police or promote the gender transition of minors, but not big enough for anyone who wants to enforce our immigration laws or protect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens. DNC Chairman Ken Martin is still using this talking point, less than a month before the midterms. Democrat Party Chair Ken Martin embraces far-Left radicals who want to abolish the police, prisons, and borders: “I’ve always taken a big tent approach…we have to keep growing and we have to keep expanding this tent.” pic.twitter.com/VEWXZhPJTZI sure as hell do. And there is only one way to deal with this problem, IYKWIMAITYD As for that lead item, I have it there not only for the shock and revulsion value, but it reminded me of something that my sainted grandmother of blessed memory said regarding the lineage of the perpetrator, that I best not write here for obvious reasons. On that and all the other chazarei and madness of the links, I bid you all to nevertheless have a good day.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at October 14, 2026 07:30 AM (zEBE+) Minnesota's US Senate race is D+1. If Democrats are winning by one in Minnesota, there is not a Blunami. That's polling though, and polling sucks. So let's look at actual voter data. Dems and black voters (BIRM) are simply not voting in the numbers needed to build a Blunami. Will they win the House? Probably. But they'll lose Senate races in ME, MI, TX, OH, and maybe NC (but I wouldn't bet on NC). They'd have to win every single one of those to flip the Senate. Two years of shrieking insanity out of the House with no result whatsoever, continued massive deportations (ICE is funded until 2029), and continued judicial appointments through the Senate is probably the best case scenario for us going into 2028 - where the real victory can be won, as whoever controls the Executive for the 2030 Census is going to have a LOT of input on what America looks like for a generation.

For investigators, the central questions now concern what the seized materials might establish about the family’s original immigration applications and whether any discrepancies amount to prosecutable offenses.

The story about that 6 year old black boy is just unfathomable. He's so full of vile behavior in action and words that it just leaves me literally slack jawed. He's only 6!! This is fully and 100% the result of this poor child's upbringing. It's as disgusting as it is sad. He probably has a very dismal future. And it isn't because of whitey oppression...

59 Hauling steel coils is in the top 5 of dangerous cargoes, so much that some drivers broke away from the Teamsters and formed, or tried to form, their own union just for steel haulers. FASH, fraternal association of steel haulers. Super radical up to the point of sabotage and employing snipers on overpasses. Late 70s in Ohio and west PA.

I mentioned on the 6pm threads, but there's an amazing anti
El-Sayed commercial airing on Detroit TV. A mother tells how a 'terrorist' went into her child's school looking to kill as many kids as possible. There's an ABC story for authenticity shown. She says this guy just wanted to kill kids and El-Sayed's response was "Hurt people hurt people." She says she's a Democrat voting for Mike Rogers and El-Sayed should NEVER be Michigan's senator. Beautiful devastating ad. Abdul may only hit 35% of the real vote. And it made me laugh yesterday. An actress - main stream - I follow on Instagram had a birthday earlier and reposted something she saw. "The saddest thing in the world is to be 23 years old." lol. Poor thing.

Posted by: Lady in Black at October 14, 2026 *** Upbringing in part, yes, but also quite probably a low IQ and high impulsivity. There was always crime in black communities. See the old song "Stagger Lee," describing a shooting in revenge for a loss at dice. The difference then was that the criminality was generally confined to black neighborhoods. Yes, the black community had its own businesses, and out-of-wedlock births were lower before the Great Society. LBJ simply let it run loose. With welfare and food stamps, there was less incentive to start businesses.

I wish that long haul truckers were paid a decent wage. Deport all the foreigners, illegal aliens and indentured servants and fly-by-night crooks operating the trucking companies. Labor is subject to supply and demand as well.
Then too, restrict trucks to the right hand lane and 62 mph (100 kph). Yes, this will make things more expensive. Or something. Posted by: Common Tater at October 14, 2026 08:13 AM (bocsn) 81

A friend was driving behind a truck hauling steel. The cargo slipped loose on a curve and drove into the front end of her car and partially through her windshield. She survived but has needed several surgeries to put her face back together. The lesson is, she says, give steel haulers a very wide berth.

>>Ilhan Omar seems to be the focus of immigration fraud investigation but it should not be missed she had a lot of help over the years from other people, and there might also be a criminal investigation of those helpers.
DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said yesterday during an interview on Fox that her office is running a separate investigation from HSI and her investigation is focused on the fraud in Minnesota. If you remember a number of months ago Omar's reported net worth jumped from around $200,000 to $30,000,000 in one month and then when she started getting asked about it she claimed it was an accounting error and the next month it dropped back to the $200k range.

What is the number of people that can die from 'AI Trucks" before they are yanked off the road?
Good question. Depends on which overlords are in power, I suppose - if the tech-worshippers are dominant, they'll point at the illegal CDL deaths, or some other not-quite-relevant statistic, and say, "It's better than that!". If the luddites are dominant, "if it saves just one life, it's worth it" and they'll turn the first useful-looking death into a call to riot and ban. As for myself, I don't think we're anywhere near ready for driverless long-haul trucking. Maybe driverless 'follow-the-leader' pods trailing a 'human-overseer' truck, but as long as crazy human drivers are on the same road, as long as sinkholes can form without warning, as long as animals can wander onto the highway... you can't have mere 'known patterns' image recognition as the guiding intelligence. All these demos seem to assume every remaining human driver on the road are sane, and that's a big freakin assumption! Posted by: RandomDave at October 14, 2026 08:30 AM (aJQbY) 113

Signs in AZ is they will go ahead with the fraud. Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 14, 2026 08:27 AM (u82oZ) I think the answer used to be 'yes, definitively.' Now the answer is 'I'm not quite so sure.' That distinction is likely enough to stop some of it, at least. Will it stop all of it? Of course not. They're liars and cheats as a species, but it will stop some with a lower risk tolerance. The minion rank and file, for example, aren't big enough to get protected the way Omar is going to be protected. And as protected as she is, the Process Is The Punishment, even so. Imagine you're an election clerk hoping to be protected, watching Ilhan get fucked around by this Administration. You're so much smaller than her, so much less important. Are the Dems going to circle the wagons for you or let you swing? I know which way I'd bet. Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at October 14, 2026 08:31 AM (gLYp7) 117

If Omar hadn't been such a mouthy bitch about everything, and openly anti-American, I don't think the administration would have done anything with her.
But she brought unwelcomed attention to a huge problem with our political class and the level of corruption it's involved with. I mean, it was always something of an open secret.... but now, because of the light bulb people she's associated with, it's being dealt with. California and New York should be next.

A message from France. . . https://tinyurl.com/mvx5wfbm
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you. I come from your future. In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream. . . The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe. . . Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France? Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

This 6 year old boy is far too precocious to have a low IQ. He most likely is the opposite, but what he does most likely have is Emotional Regulation Disorder. I know many schools are loathe to put this down on an IEP because it’s viewed pretty dang badly, but they actually have special schools in many areas for kids who have this issue. Those are rough, but sometimes the only chance a kid has. His mother seems to want this to be ADHD, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he had both. ED is very, very difficult to deal with in the best of circumstances, which this boy clearly is not in. Extremely sad.

>>I was hoping this was tied to the glaring fraud that she and her "community" have committed, along with the immigration thing. I dunno...maybe I'm not understanding what they could be looking for that the gov't doesn't already possess if this just relates to immigration. I guess there's something there or the judge wouldn't have signed off on the warrant.
I've seen speculation that it includes the Feeding Our Future fraud, which includes Omar (who created the program) and her sister, who created an NGO that's received hundreds of millions in USAID funding (and from other organizations, such as the UN).

Here's one of the few non-immigrant defendants in the scandal:
Aimee Bock was sentenced to 41.6 years in prison on May 21, 2026. She ran Feeding Our Future and was described by U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel as the “epicenter” of a “vortex of fraud.” Bock was found responsible for the $242 million in federal government fraud that Feeding Our Future committed in 2020 and 2021. Bock’s sentence is likely the second-highest in state history for a white collar crime case. Tom Petters, the investor who stole $2 billion in a Ponzi scheme, still tops that list. He’s currently serving a 50-year prison sentence. Posted by: Lizzy at October 14, 2026 08:53 AM (rOKnE) 150

The state of California is building its first new steel mill in more than 50 years, on a 174-acre site in Kern County, roughly 70 miles southeast of Bakersfield. . . Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office released a statement saying, “This project will bring steel manufacturing back to the Golden State and localize the supply chain – supporting a transition to clean, in-state manufacturing of materials essential for public infrastructure like roads, bridges and hospitals.”
I notice he didn't mention the steel mill manufacturing... rails. And I suspect this steel mill will take as long as the high speed rail is going to build. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 14, 2026 09:11 AM (6ydKt) 181

Regarding Kim-ber-lay (as President Trump was said to call her) I think she flipped out when Jr broke up with her and went on to marry someone else.
Duck faced woman scorned is worse than a regular lipped woman scorned. I'm sure him breaking up after she got a ring was devastating. I think her revenge got her to Greece. Out of sight, out of mind until she wasn't. Read last night that a future pardon from President Trump might simmer her down from spewing stories. We'll see. I don't know anyone who has deformed their mouth as badly as she has in life. If her mouth is closed, and not in a big baboon grin, it gives her a resting beetch face. Don't know what she looked like prior to basically putting discs in her lips, but this has done her no favors and they are not bouncing back from this deformity. Look at Goldie Hawn currently, who did similar. Unless airbrushed off the photo with filters, I'm not sure I'd recognize her. Plus the severe sun damage, but I won't get into that. Happiness in who you are, SPF, and natural aging go a long way from looking like a cartoon.

Yes, the voters are pining for the salad days of Democracks and their unique blend of socialism, isalmism, court packing, confiscatory taxes, and wild spending on fraud.
That and the nostalgia of Covid lockdowns and the price increases they oversaw and still persist. Plus they tried to destroy the oil and gas industry along with the utility companies. But they will totally bring prices down, you betcha. You know, the prices being kept up for the election by their buddies in Iran. I mean, the mullahs said vote Democrat, so who am I to question that- amirite? Heck, we haven’t had a good attack on our Bill of Rights or impeachment show trial since they lost. We need that back, it will make things so much better. Plus socialized healthcare for all including illegal immigrants, paid for by you. Geez, that one just gave me a boner. By the way, who is up for another illegal alien invasion- show of hands? Things will be so much better with them in a majority, if you’ve had a lobotomy or have Alzheimer’s.

My train of thought this morning left the station on time. And it got to the next station on time. But when it did, there was a car missing from the middle of it!
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 14, 2026 08:16 AM (wzUl9) This reminded me of the incident in 1974 at Ft Sill. I was on the graveyard shift at the MP station and if the shift was boring, I would read the teletype machine's output for entertainment . There was a report of train with a freight car loaded with M14 rifles that left an armory and when it got to its destination in Texas the entire car was missing. Aliens? CIA? General Vang?

A Pantone colour book from the 17th century. (Open Culture)
We actually had to make something similar to this when I was taking design (color theory) classes in college. Except it was a large 'Color Wheel' we had to make with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and then below it we had to take colors and shade them or lighten them for different hues.

I saw Pat Benatar live in the mid-90s. The arena on the South Florida U campus. Nice size court with good acoustics. She has a hell of a voice and she's about 2ft-6in high. You could fit her in a dixie cup. Powerful voice coming from a pixie size gal.

In other news, I have new living room blinds. The ones that were hanging within the window recess were long ago splintered, possibly by kitten Stirling a few years ago. I asked the office several times to replace them. Their view was "It's the tenant's responsibility." I said, "Sure, but Walmart no longer carries the kind you used!" Stalemate.
Yesterday, though, a maintenance guy showed up and swapped them out. These are mounted *outside* the window recess, hanging just inside my drapes. They have the twist stick to change their orientation, but no cord to raise or lower them. I wonder if they are the kind you pull down or pull up some way? Anyway, the window now looks like a human lives here instead of a Homo erectus. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 14, 2026 05:07 AM (wzUl9) 31

I assume Pantone still makes a device + software that you can use to calibrate the colors on your monitor to be more accurate. I think it also tells you how far off it still is after it did its best with your inherently flawed hardware.

Some US voice actors are doubling down on their support for the sketchy 'charity' Operation Olive Branch that has a $200,000 discrepancy between total donations and what was spent along with past links with a Hamas associate.

Posted by: AlecK at October 14, 2026 03:18 PM (cMlC1) Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - October 13, 2026![]() Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. On time, as always. Open thread, as always. Ready to be whelmed? Demonstrate absurdity by being absurd (as El Rushbo used to say)
----- Looking for some clean river water? We've got you covered! The Cleanest Rivers In America Park Service crews pull water out of the Merced River in Yosemite and test it for bacteria, nutrients, and petroleum. They do the same in Glacier, on the North Fork of the Flathead. Idaho's regulators keep an eye on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Maine checks the bugs living on the bottom of the Machias. Year after year, the results come back the same. These ten rivers are as clean as they look. Far northern California gives the Smith River an unusually good water-quality record. A US Geological Survey assessment described its water as excellent and generally within objectives established for beneficial uses. California's 2026 Integrated Report adds a recent measure. Across 257 dissolved-oxygen samples in the Smith River estuary, none fell below the applicable warm-water habitat threshold. *** The Middle Fork Salmon spends roughly 100 miles inside the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, and Idaho's Department of Environmental Quality describes its watershed as essentially one of the most pristine in the state. The river was included in the original Wild and Scenic Rivers system in 1968. Federal management has kept development scarce along much of its corridor. A multi-day float can run for hours beneath steep canyon walls before reaching another developed site. Hot springs emerge beside parts of the route, while quiet beaches offer breaks between stretches of fast water. Idaho has approved temperature TMDLs for several tributaries where reduced streamside shade contributes to warming. The main river remains in much stronger condition. Few large American rivers combine this much protected land with so little settlement along the water itself, and the state's assessment reflects that advantage.Hit the link for more ----- Strangest foods in each state. ![]() The Veep's got jokes

For Deer, many states have a “salvage” tag for car-killed animals. Watch (good luck?) for broken glass in the meat.
I understand why that the state holds jurisdiction over wildlife, but oddly their responsibilities seem to vanish when it applies to smashed up cars. Better have a good Collision/Comprehensive policy. Call your Insurance. Posted by: Common Tater at October 13, 2026 10:33 PM (NBNnb) 102

So she puts them in a pot in the little officers mess we hung around at, and forgot about them. Several.days later the stench was incredible. The colonel threw them out.

Some years ago, my late husband and I came up on a deer that was just hit by a car. Thar poor critter didn't die immediately, My husband stopped and shot that deer to relieve it's misery.

At least put the poor thing out of its misery... Posted by: COMountainMarie at October 13, 2026 10:49 PM (96kpa) 125
At local and state fairs, frito pie is often served with the side of a small fritos bag torn off and chili ladled onto the chips. Eat it with a spoon/spork right out of the bag! Sometimes called a walking frito pie.
Posted by: LRob in OK at October 13, 2026 10:49 PM (Jr+re) 126
Fritos were invented by Charles Elmer Doolin in 1932 in San Antonio, Texas.
Fritos were first marketed on March 27, 1932 Background Doolin purchased a corn chip recipe and equipment from Gustavo Olguin, a local vendor, for $100. He began producing Fritos in his family's kitchen and later expanded operations as demand grew. The Frito Company became known for its unique corn chips, which were made by deep-frying extruded whole cornmeal. Evolution of the Brand Merger: In 1961, the Frito Company merged with H.W. Lay & Company to form Frito-Lay. (who degraded the recipe) Acquisition: Frito-Lay was later acquired by Pepsi-Cola in 1965, becoming part of PepsiCo. (who screwed the recipe to the wall) Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 13, 2026 10:50 PM (4tmEn) 127

I made a trial desert based around a frangipane recipe with extremely ripe persimmons.
The crust is a cooked rice pudding with added rice flour to make it a solid, the filling is a custard from almond flour, wheat flour, half and half milk, egg, sugar and persimmon pulp and baking powder. I cooked the rice pudding first to make the crust, and filled it with the custard. It is not bad! The extra moisture from the custard was sucked into the rice pudding and made that more tender.

We kids opted for liver, and poured half a bottle of ketchup on it to choke it down. Ma and dad made themselves tripe, in a light marinara sauce. One day, for reasons unknown to this day, that tripe looked good to me, and I tried it. Buttery texture with a rich, beefy hit on the palate. Still can't bring myself to cook it, and it's kind of pricey. Saw it on a dim sum menu once and was all over it.. Posted by: Joe Kidd at October 13, 2026 11:33 PM (08OqX) 178

I didn't vote in the advance poll today, as I would have had to go to the next town to do it. Will do it in my town tomorrow. But I did get my hair cut. Got the car without an engine pushed into the big shop and onto the hoist, using my golf cart as the pusher. Old tire, and big quilted comforter as padding, and not a mark on the car. Golf cart even burned rubber for an instant on the shop floor. Patched out, haha!
Then I set up the plasma cutter, and cut up the frame of an old truck hoist. I was about to put two 5-foot lengths of crusty channel iron into the scrap metal bin, when a light bulb came on: cut each in half, and I have 4 legs to weld onto an old car chassis to make a steel rack for storing exhaust pipes, drive shafts, and similar pieces.

Hello, Horde! 😊♥️
My PSA for tonight is for those traveling to Corsicana this weekend. Texas weather this time of year is unpredictable. It appears that there is going to be a 20° drop in temperatures over the next couple of days, as well as wind. Highs will go from 87 to 67, and lows will be around 50 degrees. You may want to pack for both warm and cold,raw weather. At this time, it appears this may be a dry front. Can't wait to see everyone!

Tripe is butter, not rubbery? But does it have that heavy protein taste of organ meats?
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 13, 2026 11:47 PM (mmrXZ) Over the years I've had tripe prepared several ways, and mom's marinara would be my recommendation for an entry level experience. I've gotten that protein taste you reference when I ordered tacos tripas. Just had to pile on the pickled jalapenos. Undercooked tripe is rubbery. Honeycomb tripe, parboiled for about 15 minutes, then simmered in fresh salted water for 1 to 1.5 hours, will give you the best result. Posted by: Joe Kidd at October 14, 2026 12:00 AM (08OqX) 197

A young mom allegedly stabbed her husband and their 3-year-old son to death before trying to kill herself Monday during a family getaway in the Poconos, where she ranted about working “so hard” to be the best mother and wife, cops said.
Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, is accused of stabbing her husband, Charles Harrison, and their toddler — identified only by the initials T.H. — before slashing her wrists and neck inside a hotel room at Great Wolf Lodge, WNEP reported. She then called 911 to ask for advice on how to find the right vein to puncture, stating she needed help dying, according to police. My husband and son are already gone in the bed in the living room,” she reportedly told emergency services. “They’re already gone, I’m sorry.” The twisted mother had stabbed both victims in the chest and attempted to puncture her own neck, police alleged in an affidavit. Somebody named their daughter “Metallica”? Huge warning flag right there.

Go substitute teach for a day just to see the plethora of stupid names out there. I do not blame the kids, I do think to myself “What were the parents thinking?”
Posted by: Cow Demon at October 14, 2026 01:39 AM (1UOiF) Some parents apparently think naming their kids should be like naming a puppy. They truly have no thoughts about what the kid may go through in life with their “cute, funny, cool”, name they give to them like they’re a golden retriever. And don’t even get me started on the names black girls come up with for their kids. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 14, 2026 01:44 AM (6ydKt) 239

----------- Ugh. We had a rotation of garbage "music" at work, too. (c)rap, country, 'today's hits', and classic rock. (Classic rock playlist was Beatles, Doors, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin & about 10 others' various songs on endless loop. Boring) I was lucky to work in a separate building that had been converted from storage area, so was not on the company's sound system. They gave me a boom-box and I could choose my own radio station. Better yet, it had a CD player! Heh...

Report from Wasilla: the Trump rally was the most poorly managed event I have ever attended. They required you to register for a "ticket." They confirmed the ticket. Then they required you to park in a totally full lot over a mile from the venue. You had to take the shuttle busses to the event. We waited approximately an hour and a half to board a bus. Once we got to the venue, we stood in line for another three and a half hours, only to learn that the event was full and we were out of luck. They oversold the event, they couldn't be bothered to count the people being bussed, and they made us stand in 40 degree weather for five full hours, only to be told we were not getting in.
Then, we were not allowed to walk out. The cops actually stopped people walking back to the parking lot. The busses would not return us while Trump was speaking, so we got to stand there for another hour, until the crowd outside finally revolted and they started bussing people back. Frozen seniors and kids is not a very good look. WTF? This is not a good thing, and Trump should be informed. I am not angry, but I was quite frozen, and am extremely disappointed.

So, once we got back to the car, we drove to our favorite local bar, which does offer a Trump Burger, and watched a bit of the speech. But mostly, we self-medicated. DH can hardly walk, I was frozen solid, and no amount of booze took off the joint pain and disappointment.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 14, 2026 01:53 AM (4tmEn) Probably both. Apparently, once Trump is in situ, the route to and from cannot be compromised, meaning no busses in and out. Ridiculous. At the very least, they should have counted people. At a reasonable level, they should have had somewhere for people to get warm. Nobody who had tickets expected to spend 6+ hours standing around in 40 degree weather. Frankly, I am amazed more people didn't need emergency treatment. Posted by: tcn in AK at October 14, 2026 02:08 AM (2SSbU) 252

Posted by: tcn in AK at October 14, 2026 01:46 AM (2SSbU) I've seen people complaining about Trump rallies before being disorganized and overbooked. This kind of thing tends to happen when you throw together a rally in the space of a few weeks. I think the overbooking happens because they want to make sure the seats are all filled to the max, but they also know a certain percentage of people won't show up even if they get tickets. So they have to guess on what kind of crowd they're going to get and often guess completely wrong. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 14, 2026 02:42 AM (6ydKt) 271

Zoo animals discover snow. You don't meet a lot of people who would rescue an orphaned wild rat. Animal control took her puppies away when she was out foraging for food. But people notice the mama dog seemed distressed, and reunited her with the puppies at a foster home. Old time TV shows collide with each other as Mannix holds Jack Tripper at gunpoint on the Brady Bunch living room set. A young camel was ostracized by other animals because he's just too weird-looking. Can he make a friend? Tolkein's pitch for Fellowship of the Ring. Best in Show. Lion and dachshunds are best friends. Neighbor's dog decides he'd rather live with the family next door. Instead of chasing off a burglar, this dog brought him his toy and asked for pets. He's no criminal, though -- he also brought his toy to the cops as they broke into the house to arrest the thief.

I was a little surprised to learn there were more episodes of Mannix than The Brady Bunch.
That's probably because The Brady Bunch was in eternal syndication on prominent channels, while you had to explore Deep Cable to find Mannix. Now I'd guess that both are available on streaming.

> (also, no rape!*)
There wasn't much sex of any kind in Tolkien, other than the Túrin and Niënor incest incident in The Silmarillion -- and that wasn't explicit by any means. For those who haven't read it, Túrin and Niënor, brother and sister, unwittingly banged each other, leading to the Bad Things that incest always leads to in mythology, even if it was accidental -- this wasn't done intentionally so that Túrin could get a Green Card.

Posted by: FeatherBlade at October 13, 2026 08:50 PM (vJrRc) The amount of resent she would display would have a perfect negative correlation with your income. Average Joe: she'd try to get him banned from the gym. Guy who showed up in a brand new pimped-out Benz: he could ask if she did "sodomizing dead transgendered sheep stuff" without her taking the slightest bit of offense. No one believes that women wear those to the gym "for themselves", or that they're somehow "more comfortable". Not even other women. Actual comfort would involve a loose t-shirt and loose shorts. You know, the same type of stuff the non-gay guys wear. "For themselves"? No one even knows what that means. It's a semantically null statement.

The legislative reference library director, who did not respond to a request for comment, said in another email that the initial 1981 birth year had been put down because it was “widely available—in Wikipedia and the Biographical Directory–and so we added that birthdate without documentation.”
IT WAS WIKIPEDIAS FAULT “For derivative citizenship, two things have to be true — one, her father had to naturalize; and two, she still had to be a minor — and what I have found is that it’s highly likely that neither of those things are true,” claimed Kern (a campaign opponent), who later filed a FEC complaint to demand proof of citizenship.

Posted by: JackStraw at October 13, 2026 09:35 PM (viF8m) I am not convinced that BRICS had enough volume in their economies to take over the reserve currency position, even with all the countries pooling their national capital. What BRICS was good at would have been to take over the foreign exchange position for the Global South and otherwheres and they even turned out a "global pass" type credit card that was essentially a show piece for the central banks' method of settlement between the members. This would have seriously affected the interest rates of the Treasuries since there would have been less demand for them, and the interest for future Tbills would go up.

>>I am not convinced that BRICS had enough volume in their economies to take over the reserve currency position, even with all the countries pooling their national capital.
The thing about BRICS is that it is a basket of currencies not any one state and there were no rules about adding more until it became enough. And it didn't have to be a majority, just enough to upset the dollar's dominance and create multiple reserve currencies and chaos. As much as we hear bitching about our current situation and affordability if we lose reserve status things will really go pear shape. The average US citizen lives far better than our peers around the world even if the media would have us believe otherwise. And if we ever lose that status getting it back will be near impossible.

I always used to study post in news papers but now as I am a user of net thus from now
I am using net for posts, thanks to web. xnxx Posted by: Hubert at October 14, 2026 02:16 AM (7yJj0) Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's Mother Was an Active Member of the Muslim Brotherhood In CollegeAbdul El-Sayed's mother--whom the left-wing Michigan Senate candidate has described as "smart, warm, charismatic" and whom he called on camera in a May campaign video--was active in the Muslim Brotherhood while in college in Egypt, a revelation that further contradicts El-Sayed's recent claims that neither he nor his family have ties to the radical Islamist group. Eman Abdelhadi, a University of Chicago professor and El-Sayed's half-sister, wrote about her mother and other family members' ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in social media posts in June 2012, just after Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt. "Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college," wrote Abdelhadi, who is five years younger than El-Sayed and has a different father. Their mother, Fatten Elkomy, is a nurse in Missouri who attended Alexandria University, one of the largest universities in Egypt. The school was known as a hub of Muslim Brotherhood activity in the 1970s, according to a 2012 report from the Brookings Institution, which noted that "the Muslim Brothers dominated the Islamic Group at Alexandria University" at the time. El-Sayed himself recounted his mother's campus activism in his book, Healing Politics, writing that she was a "leader on campus" but omitting any mention of the Muslim Brotherhood. A 2012 Columbia Medicine Magazine alumni profile of El-Sayed notes that El-Sayed's mother "studied medicine" in "Alexandria, Egypt" and was an outspoken opponent of military rule in the country, which was briefly interrupted by the election of Morsi. El-Sayed signed a 2012 statement identifying himself as part of a group of "Morsi Supporters in America," the Washington Free Beacon reported.She did not ask any follow-ups. She did not read his sister's words to him, in which his sister identified his mother as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. His father seems to be Muslim Brotherhood, too, although no one is on record saying so: Kristin Welker did not question Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's deep family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. She did instead what all left-wing "journalistic" activists do, give him an easy opportunity to deny the facts without any push-back that might cause him discomfort. She was allowed to "moderate" presidential debates. Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's terrorist and communist wingman Hasan Piker has a long history of attacking the very idea of democracy, instead favoring sharia law and communist tyranny, left-wing liberal Jonathan Chait reports. A black female comedienne -- I think -- embarrassed Piker by asking him about his Champagne Socialism. Worth the watch.

If you were to say something complimentary about Birth of a Nation as a film, you would be racist.
Meanwhile, you just get shrugs if you mention that Woodrow Wilson featured it in the White House theater. Problem is is that their people follow them through all the blow-offs and manipulation. In fact, from experience, it seems that if a Dem was not impressed by the above Wilson factoid this week. He probably wouldn't remember it next week. Just because they blow something off, doesn't mean they will remember that you ever told them that. Posted by: Axeman at October 13, 2026 06:40 PM (Fi81e) 59

Which freaked out the Palesimians and Arabs so much that they tried to isolate Egypt from the rest of the Arab/mohammedan world.

Centralized info for technicians. If you have a refrigerator that's having temp swings, you can dispatch a tech.

Posted by: Mao at October 13, 2026 08:15 PM (1UOiF) TikTok Feminists Try to Cancel Shane Gillis Again, This Time for Stating the True Fact that Slutty Women are Dressing Like Whores at the GymThis is another non-controversy turned into a tumult by bored, neurotic attention- seeking clickwhore e-feminists. Shane Gillis gave a kinda lame monologue on SNL about women dressing like "whores" at the gym. This is not a controversial take, nor is it new -- people have been noticing and commenting on the trends in women's (or, let's be serious, women who want to be influencers and e-girls) wearing nothing on their upper body except a spandex strap across their breasts and wearing shorts designed expressly to show their butt-cracks and camel toes. These aren't your Grandpa's tight shorts. These shorts have a tight, elastic seam in the crotch that hugs the deep contours of the buttocks and sucks the material in. This is not some new observation. Nor can it be denied. The old shorts let you see the outside contours of the camel toe. The new shorts let you see the inner contours of the camel toe. That's a sexual escalation. Shane Gillis said, basically, that women were dressing like "whores" to entrap men into looking at their asses and breasts so they could then monetize their "sexual victimization" on TikTok. I don't know if that's still funny three years later -- but it remains 100% factually accurate. There is an entire genre of TikTok "content" of e-girls showing their nether regions to every man in the gym and then claiming that any man who so much as looks in their direction is "harassing" them. The YouTuber Joey Swoll basically built his channel scolding e-girls for these cheap attention-getting/sexual-harassment-faking antics. Again, this is not controversial. My objection to this bit is that it's like three year old observation. We've been seeing women dressing extremely provocatively and then filming men merely glancing at them and accusing the men of ocular rape for years. But The Libs of TikTok are stupid, vicious animals and so they're pretending that Gillis is talking about more normal sportswear -- which is itself very tight and revealing, but that's not even the type of outfit he's talking about. And they're trying to cancel him.As you know, feminists tried to cancel Sydney Sweeney over showing off her body. But on the other hand, they celebrate singing whore Sabrina Carpenter and Body Positivity Moose Lizzo for doing the same. The difference, they claim, is that Sydney Sweeney is appealing to the "Male Gaze" while Sabrina Carpenter, when she wears lingerie on stage and has a male dancer mime taking her from behind as she mimes going down on another male dancer, is not appealing to the Male Gaze but merely "sexualizing herself for herself" and "empowering herself." (Evidence: Content warning for Sabrina Carpenter getting into various sexual positions and asking, "Want to try it this way?" And here's where she posed being doubled-teamed by two men, again asking, "Want to try it this way?") Basically, this is entirely a political settlement reached among feuding branches of feminism, the "Slutwalk Feminists" ("sex-positive" feminists) versus the Prude Feminists ("sex-negative" feminists). This battle divided the movement so they settled on the completely fake, utterly political bullshit-compromise position that you could be as big a slut as you wanted so long as you claimed that you were doing so to empower yourself as a feminist and definitely not to appeal to men's interest in seeing sexy women. Meanwhile, the Prude Feminists could continue to attack women like Sydney Sweeney by asserting, without asking Sweeney herself about it, that she was appealing to the Male Gaze and not to her own Empowerment and therefore is degrading all women. The Prudes get what they want -- shaming the sluts -- and the sluts get what they want -- getting to be sluts without being judged by their fellow left-wing cows -- because all feminists and their cuck beta orbiters agree to this utterly incoherent and arbitrary division of the world between "Good Sluts" (empowered feminists) and "Bad Sluts" (women who want to appeal to men). This is of course complete bullshit. When women dress provocatively, they're doing it to appeal to the Male Gaze. Period. If they feel "empowered" in doing so, it's because everyone, naturally, feels an ego lift at being thought of as attractive by the other sex. One time I mentioned the claim made by women that when women dress sexy they're doing it to impress other women. The woman I mentioned this to scoffed at the claim and said -- vulgarity warning -- "Oh? Do they shave their pussies for other women, too?" No, of course not. But it's a shibboleth among stupid feminists that it's Good if you sexualize yourself "for yourself" or for other women but it's very Bad if you sexualize yourself for men, and of course they get to decide which is which. If you're a member of the Cult of Feminism with all dues paid up, you can mime getting double-teamed on stage while wearing lingerie and be hailed as an empowered hero. If you refuse to join the Cult of Feminism, you get attacked for "degrading women in sports" for appearing semi-nude in an ad for a betting parlor. It's just the same easy rules for those in the leftwing tribe and the same viciously-exacting rules for those outside the tribe. Just vicious tribal leftism applied to another area of the human experience. Anyway, this is what the Bubblegum Brigade is shrieking about this week. Update: Apparently the shorts are called "butt scrunch shorts" or "scrunch butt shorts." This female trainer says OF COURSE the shorts are designed to show off every contour of your ass so how can you say you're offended by men doing exactly what you intended them to do? From bonhomme: Here's an ad for them. You can see why they're called "butt scrunch shorts." The claim that these shorts aren't being worn for sexual provocation, but are merely worn because it's "comfy" to work out with an elastic band tight up against your butt-hole, is preposterous. ![]() LimechompOh well then. Consider me "served."

Women are not only looking slutty at the gym; in the last video, I guess we have to listen to them attention whoring about it. Just like they did when they were outraged by the Sydney Sweeney commercial. LOL, they can't keep their outrage straight.

These Feminazis are so empowered they wear slutty clothing and then are upset that men notice they are sluts who have no respect for themselves or their bodies and modesty.
Both men and women should dress as they want to be seen. Dress classy, be classy. Dress smart, be smart. These whores just want attention and even negative attention is better than no attention. They did not have a Daddy or Momma who loved them enough to teach them about self respect and dignity. These bitches will die alone, bitter and nasty.

The girl in pink above is in the more modest style of shorts. Google, "scrunch-butt shorts." They have a gather or ruching in the butt seam so the seam goes all the way inside the crack.
I see women all the time in the gym in these scrunch butt mini shorts and a bralette. And you'd better not look because they might start filming themselves at any moment and you might get caught on camera looking. Then they post a video of you to the internet of the "creeper" that made them uncomfortable. Posted by: bonhomme at October 13, 2026 05:35 PM (mkw2N) 18

The simple fix for this is to just ban smartphones from the gym. I've never seen a man filming themselves at a gym, I don't believe it's at all helpful for the workout. Just ban the smartphones and the problem goes away.
If that means all gyms suddenly suffer a huge drop in revenue because women won't go to the gym if they can't film themselves splitting their cheeks there, than that's a separate problem. One that can be resolved by repealing the Nineteenth Amendment. Posted by: Daniel Ream at October 13, 2026 05:39 PM (LgYtf) 26

If you need a video of yourself for a legit form check you can go ask the staff and they'll do it for you with nobody else in the frame and comment on it so you can work on your deadlift or whatever.

I use a gym at a public university. It's a school justly renowned for its female student body, for decades.
Wow. Even in this case, only a % of them have the bod to wear these incredible outfits. But when they do. At the school's outstanding pool complex where I swim, when the weather's nice (= usually), of course it's bikini time. Tragically I can say my college experience was nothing like this, and not just because of changes in gym wear. But the visual delights make workouts go that much faster.

Like I said yesterday, I'm a man and I look. I enjoy looking at fit women. But there are limits. Look, appreciate, and move on. That gets more difficult when they're five feet away, in a sexually suggestive pose, working hard, and basically in their underwear. Additionally, there's the danger you'll be filmed looking.

Unemployed Chad, No-Commit Chad, Lazy Chad, Married Chad, Old Chad, etc. Even opposite politics as a "hard no" in their profile was discarded by the women just to get a date with Chad.

I think women have a lot of genuinely valid things to complain about. They bleed every 28 days often with wracking painful cramps. They are smaller and weaker than nearly half the population. They are the primary targets of molesters and rapists. They get older and have a miserable process of menopause. And that's just the big stuff. I get it, women have a reason to be annoyed.
But its not OUR fault as men, we didn't do any of this to you, except .01% who are sexual predators. And increasingly women that way too. Don't take out your frustrations on men, we didn't pass laws and we built an entire society to protect you and preserve you from the hardships in life that you decided to throw aside as if it was cruelty Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 13, 2026 06:11 PM (nIKjK) Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 13, 2026 06:11 PM (u82oZ) 111
This is bleeding over to "normie" clothes too. It has been a struggle to get shorts for Pookette that conform to her school's dress code. The rule is that the shorts need to go down to the kid's fingertips when they're standing straight, and they had to make an exception for Pookette because her legs, arms, and hands are so long. (Once her torso finally catches up, she'll probably be taller than me.) All that's been available at Wal-Mart for the last few years, from Girls size 10-12, 14-16, and the Women's sizes are biker-style shorts. We had to order Bermuda-style shorts online this year. So frustrating...

Definitely the type of "engagement" that caters to women.
They're looking for "engagement", but OF COURSE the true definition is "engagement I WANT!" I really think it was ridiculously unfair to the dumb creep who worked in the same kitchen where I was a dishwasher once. (I'll explain the attribution.) I was about the same age as the kids in the bus staff, as was the "dumb creep" I referred to. Their was a lot of flirting and crotch-grabbing. Just because he went to the same school, was in the same classes, he joined in. He got fired and a trip to the police station as a sexual assailant. He was a creep. He was not too bright. But he didn't deserve to have his life ruined because he couldn't read the room. But women enforce "Only the attention I WANT". Oh, they want attention--but they really which life was a smorgasbord of attention. You can ogle them online and with likes. Posted by: Axeman at October 13, 2026 06:20 PM (Fi81e) 129

I listened to the Shane Gillis video and don't know what people are screeching about.
The last gym I joined was part of the med center. There was no way I was going to parade things in front of doctors and staff who knew me. Plus being married with sons, and everyone knew this. I wore a long tee shirt over yoga pants. I'm trying to think of a time in my prime I was,"Here I am! Come and get it!" and have nothing. I never tried for that. Did I miss anything? I did wear modest bikinis around pools or reservoirs and looked good, but I was not going for the slut factor. I was a swimmer and that's what I wore. Nothing was hanging out and annoying me when I dove off cliffs and swam to the top. I have no idea what this did to the boy posse I was with as they were friends only and before I met my guy. I'm sure I looked good but was not paying attention as I was there to have fun. I don't know what to think except those shorts look uncomfortable and don't make the person wearing them look good.

Posted by: Tinfoil Dispenser at October 14, 2026 07:14 AM (ERYKL) Feds: We Have Probable Cause to Show That America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Committed Immigration CrimesThat's not a surprise -- you need probable cause to obtain a warrant, and a judge found that DHS did have probable cause. And that judge was probably a leftist.Department of Justice (DOJ) officials confirmed on Monday that Omar's home had been raided as part of a federal probe. Fahey says that because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is involved, the case focuses on the issue of immigration, but details remain unclear. "The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there's probable cause that a federal crime was committed, and there would be evidence of that crime in the area to be searched, which in this case was Representative Omar's home," Fahey told the New York Post's Chadwick Moore. In particular, Fahey said it could not have been an easy task for federal investigators to secure a judicial warrant on Omar's home, considering D.C. judges tend to be left leaning, telling the Post that "a judge must have been very convinced" by the evidence presented. America's sweetheart may be in trouble. I don't want to silence you, I want to deport you and make you persona non grata in the US. Meanwhile, the same people who said "No one is above the law" to justify -- celebrate, even -- the raid on Mar-a-Lago now say the search of a mere Representative's house is a fascist invasion.

The point of the "civility bullshit" arguments is to get the other side to stand down.
"You have no shame doing this!" "Oh, you're right. Only you are allowed to do this." The last 20 years has really radicalized the right to the point of simply not giving a shit.

2016: Trump you can't arrest Hillary. Yes she committed multiple felonies, admitted to it, and even her political allies like James Comey said it was clear. But you don't prosecute the political opposition in America unless they committed SERIOUS SERIOUS felonies like murder or something
2021: We are prosecuting Trump because we disagree for the value of a property he assessed to get a loan. Did he pay the loan back? Well, yes, but what does that matter? Politicians need to follow the letter of the law...even if we changed it after the fact 2026: Ok so maybe Omar made a mistake on some paperwork that allowed her to illegally gain citizenship and then become an elected official and get $30M in bribes.

I'm late to the party. Regarding "Democrats Tell 'Coconut' Kam to Scram" (not the actual title), I was recently shocked to read that young American drink less. Well, that's not the part that shocked me. 4% fewer Gen-Zers drink than Gen-Xers. That's still not the shocker; it's not even that big a change.
But the change was from 52% (drinking at all) in Gen-X to 48% in Gen-Z. I thought it was much higher. I thought non-drinkers were an aberrant minority, so I finally understand how they can be so judgy: if it's about half, then they can easily be surrounded by fellow teetotalers and feel like drinkers are an aberrant minority. Everyone can feel that way about the other. Posted by: SciVo at October 13, 2026 04:31 PM (ke3zm) Posted by: garrett at October 13, 2026 04:31 PM (GHE5A) 40

So I mentioned the stupid Malfoid "scandal" the left was freaking out about last night but I found a dumber one today.
There is currently an argument on the left as to whether women can be bisexual if in fact they are grossed out at the idea of sexual/romantic relations with another woman. And you know...I gotta agree this is a stupid idea. But they do not want to touch the real reason this stupid idea is out there. As per the left this is because of misogyny or homophobia or some crap like that which is stupid. The real reason you have obviously straight women claiming to be bisexual is that it is the easiest way to claim gay oppression creds, and now they are getting lazy enough they don't even want to pretend they are two margaritas away from letting Katy Perry sexually assault them...

Kristol is the purest-form 180 from his previous statements of the cruise types. Even Jonah Goldberg hasn't flipped *that* hard.
I don't know, Kristol betrayed what his dad worked for but Jonah started working for the people that discussed Fort Marcy Park'ing his mother. I'd say the latter is worse. Also, can we stop automatically giving the children of right leaning media figures an automatic role when their parents retire? This has failed every single time AFAIK...

Correct. There was something about a vineyard that was making tens of millions and suddenly wasn't too, I think.

Not really. Irving Kristol started out as a hardcore liberal and then morphed into a liberal. But he was always a neocon. THE neocon. That was his real philosophy and it found supporters on both sides of the aisle over the years. Trump rejected it completely, obviously. That's why Bill flipped to the left. MAGA is no longer a neocon party. Posted by: JackStraw at October 13, 2026 04:57 PM (viF8m) 125

The Christian church survived 2000 years of war, disease, heresy, schism, and persecution but the past 100 years of women increasingly controlling churches is dooming the western church.

If I converted to Catholic and became Pope, here's what I would do about the American church, at least as a start.
1.) In the most corrupt parishes, I'd relegate and desacralize the church buildings, and build new ones, as a statement of intent to root out the evil. 2.) I'd remove most of the bishops, and replace them with foreign ones, hardworking young ones, because I'd be putting them in direct administrative roles over the parishes. 3.) A lot of prominent Catholic laity would be excommunicated. Pelosi, for instance, would probably be first to get the bell, book, and candle treatment.

But Kamala Harris is a stupid and a daydrinking drunk, and has not taken the hint. I know I hit this point a lot, but it is incredible to me that when seeking a job that requires real sobriety, she constantly shows up for planned speeches drunk enough to slur half of her words. It would be one thing if a reporter caught her out at night, unexpectedly, and she was sloshed. But no, she turns up for planned media opportunities three sheets to the wind. She can't keep herself to just two drinks to loosen her up, she has to drink seven or eight just before a speech. And the media, of course, pretends they can't tell when someone is slurring their words because they're drunk. Only a medical doctor can make this difficult diagnosis. Which is even more absurd than telling us that we weren't credentialed enough to know that Biden was showing signs of advanced cognitive decline. That rant over: Because Willie Brown's Brown Willie Warmer won't take a hint, Democrats are escalating. Now they're not hinting, they're telling her -- some of them under their actual names -- to go away.FWEEDOM!!! "If I were her, I would never say that stroller story again in my life," said one longtime associate who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. "She's never been very good at updating her memorized riffs."Below: Kamala has all new salads to toss. Well, they're kind of new. They're all kind of the same pattern of tautology and circular illogic. She's no Sphinx.

Here you all go. From brainyquote when you search for Kamala....
So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that's wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for. It's time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day. Let's keep fighting for the America we believe in, an America free of injustice. An America that we know we can be unburdened by what has been. Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It's part of our experience growing up. It's part of a nostalgia, a memory of the excitement and joy of going to school to be with your favorite teacher, to be with your best friends and to learn. The school bus takes us there.

The Democrats will have to decide if they're going to run some candidate debates this go around. It's looking like they'll need a couple nights with a half dozen each... given how many people (it has been speculated) are going to run.

Posted by: mrp at October 13, 2026 03:57 PM (rj6Yv) ====== I don't think it's possible to guess what Thune wants because of the makeup of the Senate and the fact that 5 of the worst GOP senators are leaving office this year (Mitch, Ernst, Cassidy, Cornyn, and Thillis). And then you have Murkowski, who's really just a Democrat. If he really, really wanted, say, the SAVE Act passed, what could he do to those six Senators to convince them to vote for it? Or, he could be using them as a shield to not do anything, but Thune did get the OBBB passed with the DHS funding and appropriated through 2028, including cutting off illegals from a host of federal welfare programs like SNAP. If, with a reshapen majority next year, Thune still can't pass the SAVE Act, I'd place the blame on him.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison ====== Not sure that big donors are going to be as useful going forward. I think a lot of the ActBlue and WinRed (Thune and a few others) smurfing is coming from recycled big donor contributions that would be over the limit. And foreign funding as well. Expect a lot of stories and investigations to start dropping post election over these. Latest example, an 88 year old woman who says she never donated the $150k that Act Blue says she did in over 14000 separate donations over five years.

WSJ: Kamala Harris’s Husband Privately Says He Doesn’t Want Her to Run for President Again
Harris has taken steps that would enable a third presidential run, and some donors have directly told her another bid would be a long shot The only thing that matters in 2028 is that Democrats win. And that once they win they use that power to unfuck everything that’s happened whilst punishing everyone responsible for their crimes. Sorry, but it probably needs to be a 40-60-year-old ish white, heterosexual male, ideally with military service and of Christian faith. As depressing as it is, America might just be too fucking backwards at this point for \~30% of the population to vote for a woman, poc, atheist or gay president. Hope I am wrong and AOC or Pete or someone else revolutionary win in a landslide and shake things up! IMO, those two things are mutually exclusive. Anybody milquetoast enough to be "vote for me to bring back normal" is not strong enough to unfuck everything that's happened, let alone punish anyone responsible. We have never once run an actual charismatic progressive. Not a single time. No one has any idea what would happen if we did.

The simple truth of the matter is no one, these days, runs for the Democrat Presidential nomination. The choice is already decided and locked in. That fact that there are so many "money trains" telling her to sit down and shut up pretty much excludes her from being the already established choice.

IMO, those two things are mutually exclusive. Anybody milquetoast enough to be "vote for me to bring back normal" is not strong enough to unfuck everything that's happened, let alone punish anyone responsible.

220 I have to assume there are no longer any "normal" Dims to run anything due to wokism.
After Hilary, Biden, Kam and Walz, would the party reject them as not being woke enough? Sickening. Maybe the next presidental candidate will be a trans? That's all that's missing with alcoholics, dementia and ghey weird governors from MN. Walz may be a trans for all I know as he loves them so much, especially illegal alien trans! Perhaps that trans looking governor from Maine should run? I would run fast from that freakoid if I saw her in the wild. I don't care that she has a family as dat's a man, baby. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 13, 2026 04:09 PM (hzuYO) ===== The media environment on the left will kill anyone running for a prominent Democrat in the primary position who says heterodox things about a host of issues. Immigration for sure. Israel probably now. Trans-stuff, though less important now than a few years ago. General election, they can hedge, but not the primary. It's woke or out at this point.

The Democrats will have to decide if they're going to run some candidate debates this go around. It's looking like they'll need a couple nights with a half dozen each... given how many people (it has been speculated) are going to run.
Imagine a weeks worth of this shit. I mean, the number of people who have been suggested to run has to be in low 20's. And each one is a "serious" contender. Just ask them.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 13, 2026 03:32 PM (+UcOf) I may get willowed, so I'll repost later. Campaigning takes a lot of work. I've got a small but great team volunteering their time, but I'm spending 8-10 hours a day either coming up with content, making short videos with my cellphone at various locations, etc. I must say that I have a new respect for politicians that look smooth in front of a camera. I'm reading handmade cue cards for my talks, and it shows sometimes. I received my $25K from the state, and I've got three weeks to spend it. I only have time for 2 mailers for my three towns, and I'm learning to lean into social for the rest. The debate gave us a lot of positive momentum. I'm speaking at the Weston RTC tonight, so we'll see how that goes. Republicans as a whole are very beaten up here, so the challenge is to give them a reason to turn out. Not easy at all. Staying positive, however. I really think I can win this. Posted by: Darrell Harris at October 13, 2026 04:13 PM (0CU3H) 235

Even as drunk as she seems to be, she is very cautious about shying away from any substance. Always elusive fluff, all meaningless. I don't think she has always taken this stance. I think she started doing this when she was running with Biden and decided not to offer a true opinion on anything.

There's a weird fact to the "we've never run a charismatic progressive" angle.
Progressivism is strangely anti-charisma at its core. It's a LARP of revolution. Charisma requires a certain ease, or comfort, to be instilled in the mark. Like how a con man would. Revolution requires the opposite. You can't be charismatic when you're trying to convince your mark that everything is fucked and hope is lost and the only option left is to burn shit down and support a complete nobody outsider who has nothing to do with any of this mess. Notice how the only people who ever think communists have "charisma" are the people who never had to live under them. Che Guevara as a hippie on a t-shirt ain't murdering your cousins. Posted by: Warai-otoko at October 13, 2026 04:27 PM (aKiSo) 270
Even if Kamala wasn't tossing word salads left and right and she was as eloquent as Cicero, her little pithy mottos for life she trots out are basically beauty queen answers to questions at the pageant.
None of it is useful and as long as she gets the sentence out without screwing up the landing it's a 10 out of 10 from the judges. But Kamala always screws up the landing. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 13, 2026 04:28 PM (6ydKt) 271

Eric DaughertyVideo below the fold. Duane Patterson runs down Iran's collapsing economy. As mentioned here earlier, there are 19 stranded Iranian shadow fleet tankers off the coast of Sri Lanka. They cannot return to Iran because they'll get blowed up. So they're just sitting idle -- and running out of food, water, and fuel. US pressured Sri Lanka to not permit any refueling or refreshing. Sri Lanka now says it will not aid the stranded shadow tankers: ️Sri Lankan government: We have no plan to help 19 Iranian ships anchored in international waters near the country and facing shortages of water, food and fuel https://t.co/CMqinVsScP— Open Source Intel (@Osint613) October 9, 2026Back to the UK Prime Cuck: Burnham is negotiating to undo Brexit and rejoin the EU. He previously claimed he wouldn't do this. Whoops, I did that thing in your mouth I said I wouldn't do. Don't worry, though -- he says that rejoining the EU " " " might " " " help him stop the unchecked mass migration he's currently allowing for no reason. As you know, the EU is really strong on border enforcement. Oh wait, no it's not -- it seeks to dissolve all borders. He replied: "The loss of immigration control has come with the inability now to access data across the European Union... we are in a weaker position when it comes to controlling immigration."So he means he wants to rejoin the EU to check their fingerprint files to exclude -- maybe -- known terrorists, while otherwise letting everyone else in.

Listening to an interview on Varney with a Brit conservative. He was explaining the abject ridiculousness of the British welfare state. 1in 4 British individuals (he didn't specify citizens) is eligible for disability, as the disability rules are so generous that it's unnecessary to work. That the British social welfare spending is five times what the USA is and is approaching insolvency. It was amazing to listen to the stats, I don't remember them all.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at October 13, 2026 02:27 PM (gLYp7) The greatest weapon the Brits had from the Napoleonic War to WWII was the air of the invincible spy service. It supposedly knew everything and had greater penetration than Moriarty's web of spies. They didn't, they had great contacts and contractors who took their money to do their own thing, and lots of Brits tied into the local economies who were willing to bribe, but they were never omnipotent. They were willing to trim their sails and direction when they got to a problem they couldn't solve, or a gambit that blew up in their faces.

up to WWI the Navy ships would deploy "anti-torpedo" netting when they were in port to deter torpedoes.

I think anytime a ship is hit with "a projectile" anywhere within 500 miles of Hormuz... it's reported that it was "in" the Hormuz Strait.
Several of the latest hits were in Omani waters to the south of the actual strait... hundreds of miles away. Those would be (likely) the Houthi's being dicks again. And being a narrow, congested (and contested) chokepoint, almost anything that shoots "a projectile" is likely to hit something there.

IIRC the administration had been "watching" the Islamic saboteurs for some time. The snap decision to get the B-1's out of the UK came when two things happened;
- The UK authorities let the terrorists go - It was suggested that an attack on the airbase by a swarm of drones (similar to what Ukraine did to Russia) would be... unstoppable with what was there. It's a tactical loss for the US... leaving the base, but a strategic win keeping the B-1's safe here. We'll likely need them to bomb London soon.

Natives are basically Somalis: thieves, fraudsters, and criminals lorded over by an elite cast of even bigger thieves, fraudsters, and criminals who prey on their own as well as on the White Man.
The casino model works well for them because it's the ultimate in mafia-style criminality. I'm not sure the natives have the will or the ability to build and run refineries. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 13, 2026 03:14 PM (iFTx/) Indians only became involved in Casino whoring when politicians and casino makers decided that legalizing gambling was too risky so they found some dubious workaround by claiming "Indian Lands" were outside state jurisdiction. Same with the "Riverboat" casinos in Mid America which had archaic laws that said riverboats docked at a port weren't subject for anti gambling laws. So they started building "Riverboats" that were thicker than the river itself that could never move. They finally drew a line when a racetrack tried to dig a pit in his parking lot, stick a "lakeboat" in it and insert a casino. Posted by: Oldcat at October 13, 2026 03:51 PM (uhVAy) 179

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 13, 2026 03:32 PM (+UcOf) I may get Willowed, so I'll repost later. Campaigning takes a lot of work. I've got a small but great team volunteering their time, but I'm spending 8-10 hours a day either coming up with content, making short videos with my cellphone at various locations, etc. I must say that I have a new respect for politicians that look smooth in front of a camera. I'm reading handmade cue cards for my talks, and it shows sometimes. I received my $25K from the state, and I've got three weeks to spend it. I only have time for 2 mailers for my three towns, and I'm learning to lean into social for the rest. The debate gave us a lot of positive momentum. I'm speaking at the Weston RTC tonight, so we'll see how that goes. Republicans as a whole are very beaten up here, so the challenge is to give them a reason to turn out. Not easy at all. Staying positive, however. I really think I can win this. Posted by: Darrell Harris at October 13, 2026 04:12 PM (0CU3H) 181

Posted by: Richard Cranium at October 13, 2026 06:14 PM (SS4Os) Former Fox Host and Wife of Grifter Gavin Newsom, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Resigns as Ambassador to Greece After Caught Asking for $100,000Once a grifter... Allegedly -- and recent news seems to confirm it -- she demanded a political donor pay off her $100,000 in credit card debt. Apparently she just didn't want anyone asking about her debt during confirmation hearings. So... she decided that demanding a Trump donor give her $100,000 was the less-perilous route.Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express--in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail. "It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express," she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. "Please."The grifting was too griftacious and now she'll be shaking her tin cup in the private sector. U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle on Tuesday confirmed her departure from the position in a social media post in which she said that her time in the role was "coming to an end." The White House announced that it had asked her to leave on Tuesday morning, amid a scandal involving her allegedly seeking $100,000 to pay off a credit card bill. ... "While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end," she added. Guilfoyle also denied the allegations against her, saying they are "false" and that she would "vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity."Whatever, Kimmy. Trump asked her to resign, which is just a firing with extra steps.

I liked her on FOX many, many years ago. However, I saw then how vanity was taking over from photos of her prior.
The duck lips alone from fillers deformed her entire face. I think President Trump sent her to Greece after Jr. broke up with her to keep her at a distance. She had good ideas and comments on FOX and, I guess, is a conservative. Most ambassadorships are gravy train for people who know a president. Look at Caroline Kennedy being sent to Japan! She can't speak two sentences with any substance. G. abused her powers apparently and lived like a queen in Greece, with apparently strange decisions. She also, from what I've read, seems a bit angry and vindictive over Jr. getting a new wife. This led to the split of their home in Jupiter Beach, FL...which is a gorgeous place, by the way. I'm sure this was not pleasant. He was foolish to buy this house with her when they were, I guess, engaged. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 13, 2026 01:18 PM (hzuYO) 33
Election around the corner. Could this be a Democrat op to muddy up the Trump image?
Kimberly Guilfoyle was confirmed as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece on September 18, 2025. So, it's been more than a year since the payment was made. Curious. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 13, 2026 01:18 PM (+UcOf) 34

You might be surprised at how stupid and petty rich people can be in throwing their reputations and sometimes careers in the shitter.
Well-known billionaires trying to solicit rando street whores for blowjobs. There are more than a few cases of hotshot lawyers throwing away tens of millions of dollars by falsifying a few restaurant reimbursements. In Guilfoyle's case here, it seems that she wasn't the ambassador yet. The whole thing was to clean up her financials so it looked better at the confirmation hearings. She probably thought she had little to lose at that point, and the gig was worth it. Odd this happened years ago and we are only now finding out about it.

When she's not smiling, her duck lips go to a frown aka resting beetch face. Lips are stretched out and deformed.
I hardly remember what she looked like pre-fillers/botox/implants, etc. However, aging naturally is better after seeing stars like Meg Ryan ruin their faces. To keep young for roles, I guess. Duck lips for others make no sense unless they have an complex. From what I read, stupid women start getting Botox poison and fillers younger and younger. Weird, expensive and not healthy in my totally natural world. Then you have to maintain and get them forever, so I read. Plastic surgeons and derms win...with the added bonuses of lasering tattoos no longer wanted. I always felt a filler would migrate somewhere I wouldn't want it to, like a lump on my forehead similar to Harry the Whiner Prince's forehead lipoma. I don't need fillers as my lips were mocked often for being big by my brother as a teen (now I still have them, thankfully, who knew it was a good thing?). I also know someone who's boobs were ruined by getting implants in her 40's. I go to a salon to highlight my blonde hair, which is as far as it goes for anything fake with me.

FWIW, re Shirley Temple Black,
"In 1940, at the age of 12, Shirley Temple had a meeting with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producer, Arthur Freed, where he exposed himself to her. After seeing her nervously giggle, Freed threw Temple out of his office. This deplorable man would go on to produce wildly successful films such as Singin' In The Rain, The Wizard of Oz, an American in Paris,and Annie Get Your Gun. Being a known, bold pedophile did little to lessen your reputation or professional success in early Hollywood. Years later, at the age of 17, Temple was made a victim again when producer David O. Selznik of Selznik International Pictures, attempted to sexually assault her. She was fortunately able to escape this ordeal unscathed, but this was not the last time she would have to deal with the pigs of Hollywood." Posted by: whig at October 13, 2026 02:14 PM (bk5GW) 226

Three years ago I had my face carved from above my right nostril to the corner of my mouth and dimple. For a basal cell that looked like a clogged pore on my nose. It was spreading under the skin.
The MOH's derm sent me that afternoon to a plastic surgeon for the hole. I was in a state of shock with my husband. I'd never had as much as a pimple on my cheek. To cover the hole they put two incisions into that cheek and yanked the skin up. Healed well, and you have to look closely to see the scars...and I don't wear foundation to begin with. Horrific in both ego and the wound care my dude provided for weeks, assuring me it would be ok. Then I had a laser treatment to the scar, which was also hideous to itch and hurt at the same time. I said, "I can't believe people pay to have their entire faces lasered with CO2!" It was hideous, but it did possibly improve the scar. I guess? All this said in question as to why anyone would want plastic surgery unless you were naturally not pretty, had a hook or potato nose, and/or did not go through a windshield.

====== UNEXPECTEDLY: Greta Thunberg joins Paris student protests. Greta Thunberg has travelled to Paris to join the student protests sweeping France. The Swedish climate activist, 23, joined pupils outside the Paul-Éluard lycée in Saint-Denis, where about 20 lawyers in robes formed a human chain to protect the teenagers from alleged police brutality. “Our future is being robbed away from us,” Ms Thunberg said, condemning what she described as an “extremely violent” police response. “They should know that all over the world we are following these developments. We are inspired by the young people who are demanding their basic rights,” she told reporters. “Whether it’s not funding schools enough, or the climate crisis, or social injustice crises… it’s about time that young people are stepping up and reclaiming that future.” Posted by: whig at October 13, 2026 02:32 PM (bk5GW) Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at October 13, 2026 02:33 PM (TCvR+) 253

Posted by: Voter theater. at October 13, 2026 04:23 PM (FCPbW) The Mystery of the Talarico DisappearanceThere's a lot of speculation going on, which, unlike in the case of the Charlie Kirk murder, is completely justified because we have a legitimate mystery which James Talarico refuses to resolve himself. I say it's the AIDS Crazies, but other people have their own theories. The big theory is, of course, that James Talarico had a mental health crisis and checked himself in to an Ohio mental health facility. Is there evidence for this? Well, some. A private plane flew from Austin to an airfield close by the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio. Which itself is interesting because that mental health facility was used by one of Talarico's friends and close political supporters.Caroline WrenOf course, the big huge evidence is that reporters called the mental health facility in question and a representative there confirmed Talarico had been treated there, but had just been released. Now the hospital is denying this, but the original admission is on audiotape, and one can imagine that if they unwisely disclosed Talarico's presence there they would have to scramble to deny it due to rules about patient confidentiality. The nation's Democrat Propaganda Outfit of Record says trust us, we have secret evidence we can't share that Talarico has just been at home for some of these past 12 days. There are many problems here: 1, that doesn't prove that he didn't check himself into a mental health facility. Even taking that as true, we could only conclude he wasn't at a mental health facility for 8 of the 12 days. Self check-ins to mental health facilities are often short stays of 48 hours or 72 hours, my extensive experience in reading detective fiction tells me. 2, this "evidence" is shared by intense partisans -- the campaign itself -- and cannot be trusted. Nor can the intense partisans at the NYT, who will not share the information. 3, even if the claim were true, that would not explain why a 37 year old "man" disappears from the campaign trail for 12 straight days in the closing hours of the campaign to make photo collages and put together his own look books. 4, another reporter says it's not true, and no one has seen anyone at Talarico's home since the disappearance: ![]() Talarico's own claims are varied and contradictory:

The Bulwark: MAGA’s Talarico Mental Breakdown Conspiracy Implodes—Instantly
The holes in this one were evident pretty quickly. Now the big question is will there be lawsuits in response? It's obvious BS. If Talarico had actually had a mental breakdown, why would he go to Ohio for treatment and not, say, anywhere in his home state? Why wouldn’t he simply have someone come to him? MAGA are so scared and desperate. Shall we send them a fruit basket?? Nah, send them a basket of dildos. Just like people did to those fucks that took over that wildlife refuge in Oregon. That was awesome, the whiny little fucks had to beg people to stop sending them dildos. Lies are about all they’ve got left… Well… That and voter intimidation and post-vote ballot seizures… The last three political candidates with clear, demonstable mental issues--Feinstein, Fetterman, and Trump--won their elections, so I'm not sure this is really the attack angle the Republicans think it is... Legally it IS libel, and they're in "Carol Burnett" territory.

The phone call to Linder is devastating.
I can't believe the lady answering the phone was so reckless to give out medical information to rando callers, though. I mean, that should be Rule Number One at any health facility, no? Of course Linder is denying it. They violated like 557 healthcare laws and regs by disclosing that Talacreepo was discharged. Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 13, 2026 12:19 PM (iFTx/) 76
Thanks, Ace.
I still return to people calling a stomach virus or a regular cold "flu." If it was "real" flu (Influenza A or B) there has been a drug, Tamiflu, for decades. This shortens the length of illness and blunts side effects. Twelve days for influenza? Nah. It used to be (pre-covid) a week. With lingering cough that can possibly then lead to mycoplasma and "walking pneumonia" as a secondary infection. I say pre-covid as I believe this is in every infection now and the common cold of 7days goes longer. Another of my theories due to observing it with family and myself. Making me hate the chy knee more often for their man made plandemic. If he had the shigella ghey shites, I am unsure the duration of that without antibiotics. However, altho I am reading it can be antibiotic resistant, there are antibiotics for regular shigella shites. I still prefer the grocery store raciss story of him calling a black youth a n and some other stuff. Because the boy would not let him ahead in line, with King T. only having two items. This would destroy his election. Regardless, something stinks in TallyRico's stories. It could be his underwear. He's hiding something big says Elon Musk.

Even if video evidence emerges of Talarico at the Ohio psych hospital, the media will still not cover it. There is the John Edwards precedent involving the National Enquirer, which published evidence in 2007 that the Democrat darling had impregnated a mistress. Even though the story was true, the legacy media buried the story as if it were inadmissable evidence in a trial, because the story was broken by a "disreputable" publication engaging in disreputable forms of journalism. (That principle obviously never applied to ethically questionable forms of journalism that ensnare Republicans.)

During that same time, Talarico was serving in the Texas Legislature, including on the House Public Education Committee, which deals with matters involving the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 13, 2026 12:19 PM (iFTx/) ******** HIPPA law clearly states that unless the facility had Telerico's consent, his name should not have been given by phone or discussed as him being a patient there. When trauma's enter the ED they are given a code name. My job as a RN case manager was to contact family after the police or hwy patrol gave me the ID. I was present in the trauma room when the patient arrived. They are then entered into the computer system with their real names. Large screens in ED's, for decades, have been hidden from public view and for staff use only. If a staff member is not in direct patient care with a patient they can be fired for looking at the records. This happens with famous people as patients and nosy staff look...which then targets them with IT, and they are fired. The lady who answered the phone, as of yesterday, was fired, no doubt. Of course they are going to lie about it as it is federal law. On top of lawsuits they can lose licensure and Medicare/Medicaid status from Joint Commission.

Even though the story was true, the legacy media buried the story as if it were inadmissable evidence in a trial, because the story was broken by a "disreputable" publication engaging in disreputable forms of journalism. (That principle obviously never applied to ethically questionable forms of journalism that ensnare Republicans.)

I would not be so confident as that writer that "voters can tell the difference" between organic support and paid postings.
For the past year or more, I've been receiving quotes from AI from friends when I ask a question that calls for their personal expertise. And as with most of the AI I've seen, it's false or misleading information. Yet ... people want an oracle, so they trust what they see. Remember, it has taken DECADES of blatant bias for the public to swing around to distrusting major media. Posted by: Michael Rittenhouse at October 13, 2026 12:31 PM (d+PSx) 156

221 IF the grocery store gossip of Talerico is true, he will lose the black vote.
Maybe he had a giant hissy and raciss fit and his staff put him on a plane to the Ohio mental facility. Hoping the story would die down. We all know since a Clancy fan was asked, "What if she said the "n" word?" And the Clancy fan said, "Well, that's different." I am paraphrasing, but felt she meant, "It's ok to murder your 3 children, but just don't say the n word of doom." Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 13, 2026 12:44 PM (hzuYO) ======= He is not going to lose the black vote. The black vote is partisan in general elections. However, it's not going to help with his turnout issues with black voters. Jasmine keeps signalling to them that they don't need to support him because of his racist campaign against here and that he's such a mediocre white man (no lies detected), and I think she's just voicing what the black electorate in Texas (and perhaps further afield) already feels about candidates they didn't choose as a racial bloc this cycle. Talarico will win 85% of the black vote. But it'll be 11% of the electorate instead of 13%. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, taking speed with Bob Fosse at October 13, 2026 12:46 PM (R0rrx) 233

> I avoid flu shots. All they are good for is protecting you against last year's variant. And they will probably try to upsell you to the clot shot, too.
That's not how it works. The flu almost always comes from China. It's because they have pig farmers who basically cohabitate with their pigs. CDC and other groups keep track of infections in the region. At any given time, there are three or four different variants floating around in the population. These variants aren't the same each year. They use this information to try to predict which variant is going to be the predominant one that takes off and jumps to the US. Then they spin up the flu shot production process for that variant.

It wouldn't surprise me if Talarico has cracked up under the pressure. Every position he's promoted speaks to serious mental and moral issues, all of it packaged in a strange, fey schoolboy manner that conveys a kind of brittle fragility. Add to that fragility the intensity of the campaign and the desperation of the Democratic Party to win that Texas senate seat, and you get Talarico curled up in a ball in a hotel bathroom, weeping helplessly, calling for his mother.
I personally think the guy is almost certainly gay, which one would think would be a plus for his campaign given the high placement of gay people in the progressive stack, but he's been forced to stay in the closet for tactical reasons.

Yes, the taped conversation with the Hospital administrator admitting that Talarico was treated and released was a HIPAA violation. Bad on them. What is your point?
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit Couple of things; it's not a hospital, and there appears to be two companies involved. The "Linder Center for HOPE" is one, and another is "Lindner Center of Hope Professional Associates," a separate 501c3. The LCforH does not list treatment in their filing, the LCofHPA does. If the 'administrator' worked for the facility not the treatment company, she may not be under HIPAA. Posted by: weft cut-loop at October 13, 2026 01:04 PM (nEUC6) 331

In my experience, having been married to someone who has been to the looney bin more than once:
1. No matter what the law says, there is an insane amount of intake paperwork and it doesn't get put into the system immediately. I have been told by a receptionist that Pooky is not a patient, despite a phone call from his doctor telling me where he was *and* Pooky signing a "Yes, you can tell people I'm here" form. 2. A minimum of 72 hours is a standard stay not just because of the law, but so you can get at least one good night of sleep. (Sooooo many mental issues are aggravated by lack of sleep.) Private institutions get antsy if you stay more than 72 hours because then they have to justify things to insurance companies. The VA is its own insurance company, so they will keep you as long as they think you need it, and afterward, you go to outpatient programs.

When we had flu in 1999, the doc gave us Relenza, which was miraculous in how much it tamped down symptoms. I don't know why it doesn't seem to be used much anymore, except that Tamiflu has contracts with a bunch of pharmacies.
We've never had flu shots and have only had flu that one time. I suspect our experience in 1999 provides some cross-immunity. In any case, we seem to be far more resistant than our acquaintances who get shots. Posted by: Emmie at October 13, 2026 01:22 PM (OlzlW) 356

Aka, just b/c a 17 year old 1st year employee gets you snapped in, it does not mean it's safe for you, even if your kid wants to ride it.

It has always been my opinion that Talarico was essentially a Bloom and Bialystock production (A La the Producers). He intends to make money on this in 2 ways 1) get investments from East and West Coast folks in his campaign (I used to see pleas for money regularly) that money can be rolled into some other campaign at a later date or perhaps slid into something Like Act Blue. 2) he is letting the markets run him up. Somewhere he has a cutout that will make a large bet for Paxton when the odds are still rising for him. That is his (and the cutouts) money. His 12 day soujourn may be a trip to a nuthouse, or an all expenses paid trip to a bathhouse. He's letting his campaign folks hang in the wind, the next trick we'll see is a massive reduction in campaign workers so that plenty of money gets left. He doesn't Want Springtime for Talarico to succeed at all like the original Bloom and Bialystock production.

First off, is Talarico a Diabetes,Type,one patient?
Ask your AI if a T1D patient with a "flu" strong enough to sidelinevhim almost two weeks, could anticipate elevated cortisol levels... Then ask it what are the likely symptoms of it? Talarico probably had a nervous breakdown. Posted by: Augusto Perez at October 13, 2026 08:27 PM (MgDNR) 363

While there are 13 categories for Child with a Disability, all understandable. But then there is also: "PA schools: Emotional disturbance is defined at 34 CFR § 300.8(c)(4) as: An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors. An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers. Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances. A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression. A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. If a child is identified by a school district as "thought-to-be" disabled and in possible need of specially designed instruction under IDEA and Chapter 14, the district should move forward with a special education evaluation under IDEA and 22 PA Code Chapter 14."

I suspect those with chronic mental health issues, have a system that makes them less resilient. Because its mental health, that system isn't just between your ears. It is also who and what you are around and what you put into your brain. Most people suffer from depression, anxiety, obsessions (boobs) compulsions (Admiral Akbar) stuff like that but are functional or self limited.

The organizer is running around saying "trust me! I've worked with them for three years." They deleted the original Tweet to remove the Community Note that called out Operation Olive Branch for links to Hamas only to post the Tweet again and get the Community Note added back. Totes trustworthy. But the most outrageous thing I think is finding out that the Gaza municipality, in spite of all the money the UN funnels to it, is asking for donations from people for basic functions like water services.

Mental illness has become meaningless. Someone who has “anxiety” is defined as having mental illness. What does anxiety mean? You get nervous in social settings. You know how 90% of people are. But now it’s a disease and you’re a victim and there’s probably some govt program out there for you.
And of course very other kid is now diagnosed with ADD or Autism or hell why not both? Like everything else follow the money. There’s an entire industry out there that treats this supposed mental illness. Everything form govt to NGOs to the medical industrial complex to of course Pharma. More “mental illness” means more money. There is an incentive to diagnose as many customers (err I mean patients) as possible. It’s all gay and retarded, as is everything else.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at October 13, 2026 11:44 AM (gLYp7) ====== EV analysis is particular. You have to slice and dice and compare correctly to get anything predictive out of the numbers. What I've seen across a handful of states that have started is a smaller base of leftists exhausting themselves out early through mail and early in person voting followed by steady work by Republicans to drive their numbers up. EV tends to be won by Democrats in general (it's just voting behavior, akin to Democrats always winning Jackson, Mississippi) which doesn't mean that Democrats are suddenly winning. They won EV in 2024 and 2022 as well. But, election day trends heavily Republican and has since early voting started decades ago. The margins Dems have tend to be smaller by % this year and with lower overall turnout. You would not expect that in a blue wave election.

Traffic circles do increase the number of accidents. But they greatly reduce the number of serious accidents and virtually eliminate traffic fatalities. Hard to kill someone in a roundabout going 15 mph and hitting someone. Those fender benders are replacing the t-bone crashes at 45 mph in intersections that do cause fatalities.

You hit the end of the on ramp like them dropping the green flag at Indy. You should be doing the speed limit +-5 mph by the end.
I've had people come to a complete stop on the onramp. I will say though that at least in my AO we people on the highway also try to block people from merging on. As the person in the right hand lane you can see better then the merger. Either speed up or slow down so they can get in.

You could be Chad Highborn IV and still get angry or depressed when your Fenomeno is in dealer service. That's not "mental illness," though.
=== It is a matter of degree. Does Chad become so morose that he won't get out of bed, eat, attempts suicide? That is mental illness. I hadn't much contact with those struggling with mental illness until I had tucked a number of decades under my belt. I still don't really understand why things become pathologic for some people and not others. I don't think they are faking it. I have seen real pain, desperation even. I don't, for the life of me, understand it. To me its like -well just stop thinking that, or stop doing that or whatever. But just because the nature of the problem for some people exceeds my ability to grasp it, doesn't mean it isn't real. There's a shit ton of stuff I don't know.

Years ago I was driving with some people I was working with. Guy had a nice mustang and I was in the front passenger seat.
It had been raining and he either didn't know how to drive in rain or had shitty tires. Either way as we went around a turn the car went into a spin skid...off the road. As the car starting spinning in midair I figured I was about to die. It did a full 360 and after falling for a few feet it hit the ground...on to a feeder road that went back to the highway with us not only landing on it perfectly but driving in the correct direction. I assume this destroyed his shocks and maybe damaged his undercarriage but on one was hurt and the car still worked fine... God was looking out for me that day...

People can't park either. Pull straight into the middle of the parking space. How hard is that to understand?
You don't pull in diagonal, or all the way on one side so when you open the door it swing well into the adjacent parking spot. This is a yuge anger point for me as my car is very wide.

Some years ago, they changed the on-ramp near here...it used to be that the lane was the on-ramp to the next exit as well, but they "widened" the freeway and turned it into TWO lanes you had to merge out of in order to get to the freeway, with both the lanes on the right leading to the off-ramp. Lots more accidents after that change.
At least it wasn't changing a two-lane residential street into a two-way/one-lane residential street with two bike lanes... Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 13, 2026 11:50 AM (l3cgK) I like the way that the freeways are set up in much of Texas, with parallel frontage roads on either side that go for miles. If the freeway grinds to a near-halt, you can bail onto a frontage road, and maintain a decent 30 mph or so, including stops for lights. In the Phoenix metro area, the freeways don't have frontage roads as such, but the valley is well-gridded with major 4-lane roads in both E-W and N-S alignments, so if the freeway shuts down, you can bail off onto a crossroad, follow it to the next major through road headed in your direction, and follow that (which is exactly what signs direct you to do when a section of freeway is closed for road repairs Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 13, 2026 12:07 PM (quk5M) 230
