Daily Tech News 24 September 2026
Top Story
- Nothing happened. Then, after a while, nothing continued to happen.
- Communist stooges are upset that the feds know what they are. (Ken Klippenstein)
They can't deny it, but they are very upset.
Tech News
- VSCode's SSH agent is bananas. (Fly)
Oh, that's from last year. Maybe it's been fixed.
Nope.
The thread at Hacker News is a mix of idiots proclaiming their undying love for the regurgitated dog's breakfast that is VSCode and its SSH agent and despairing sysadmins and people with half a clue generally noting that not only will VSCode fork bomb the remote server, it allows the remote server to do the same to the client.
And it gets worse from there.
- Got Nethack Hack ported to my 1980s 10-bit home computer. It didn't fit, though. The binary was 170k on a VAX - I found an original Usenet post reporting that - but compiled to 280k on my microcomputer architecture, and the emulator only gives it 256k. The VAX wasn't particularly fast which is why it was later eclipsed by RISC architectures, but the code was concise.
So I tried reinventing the UCSD p-System to see if that could solve the problem and it shrank the binary to just under 100k. So now I'm building a Pascal compiler written in Pascal that runs in the emulator and produces virtual instructions that are interpreted by a runtime on the emulated processor.
I did say I was going to give Claude Opus 5.5 a try, and this is what I'm doing with it.

Wednesday Night ONT - September 23, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Champagne lovers may find themselves getting tipsy more quickly after French producers have been given the go-ahead to raise the alcohol content in a bottle of bubbly for the first time following this summer's record heatwave. Winemakers can temporarily produce champagne with an alcohol content of up to 15% - above the 13% cap, industry officials have said. The extreme heat and drought produced grapes with exceptionally higher sugar levels. Yeast converts sugar into alcohol during fermentation. The temporary increase in champagne's alcohol content is only expected to affect a small number of wines, a spokeswoman for the Comite Champagne told the BBC. During the second fermentation process, which gives champagne its bubbles, "a very small number of wines from this harvest could have slightly exceeded the regulatory limit of 13%, reaching around 13.1% or 13.2%." "Therefore a decision was made to exceptionally and temporarily increase the regulatory limit to 15% - only for this year," she said.I shouldn't be surprised but I did not know that French regulations set the max for Champagne. That being the case, I'm also surprised at the decision. Only a small number that might possibly go over by a tenth or two, so let's raise the limit by two percent. If you're going over, might as well go big! Reader warning: reporting from BBC, so caveat emptor.

Rethinking that: If the car on the left is a '63 or '64 Ford, as I think it is, this pic must be from no earlier than late 1962, when the first '63s hit showrooms. So, between August, say, of '62 and late '73. The first oil crisis erupted in early '74 and prices such as .29/gallon were a memory.

16 The Southland gas station picture: The car on the right is a '57 Chevy, but the one on the road looks more like a pre-1965 Ford. So no earlier than late '56 and probably not later than '70, though gas prices like those were still around in the very early '70s.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 23, 2026 10:05 PM (wzUl9)
I agree - in fact with those round taillights, I think the road car is a ‘64 Ford Galaxie. So agree with you, my guess would be late 60’s for the pic.

California’s oldest continuously family-owned winery has survived earthquakes, Prohibition, wildfires and a pandemic — but a crushing pile of debt has finally forced the 168-year-old Sonoma institution into bankruptcy court.
Gundlach Bundschu Winery announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the sixth-generation family behind the historic estate scrambles to restructure its finances and potentially bring in a new investor.

Posted by: Big Bite Benny at September 23, 2026 10:27 PM (Fn+3X)
I looked up that for fun, since the station has “Southland Oil Co” on it. Turns out that there was a Southland Oil Co for a while, based in Georgia, who’s was distinct from the Southland Corp.
So I’m gonna guess “somewhere in Georgia” for the where.

I've been on Route 66 where it parallels I-40 to visit the Cadillac Ranch site in Amarillo, and on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, but that's about it. From what I've read, though, 66 was no picnic to drive on -- it wasn't always smoothly paved and could be dangerous in the dark.

Looks like the photo was posted to a Facebook account that has since been terminated.
The description at the link I found is:
"Paul Warmack and his Gully Jumpers Robertson County VICTOR 40009
Nashville, TN Wednesday, October 3, 1928 Charles Arrington, f; Paul Warmack, md; Roy Hardison, bj; Bert Hutcherson, g."
But trying to follow the link gets the terminated notice.
Looks like the account was for some oldie band that posted the photo.
And Google AI says:
"This vintage photograph shows a classic mid-20th-century Southland Oil Co. gas station located in Dickson County, Tennessee, which was torn down in the early 1970s."
But then it says:
Location: Dickson County, Tennessee
Brand: Southland Gasoline and Motor Oil
Era: Mid-1950s (featuring classic vintage gas pumps and a teal/white mid-50s car)
Soooo...
Either 1928 or mid '50s. But everything seems to say Nashville.

Based on gas hanging around 28 cents a gallon between 1952 and 1960. The car looks like a mid to late 50's . And Southland Oil Corporation started up in Savanna, GA. They served the southeast, but took a turn rather quickly to a differen focus other than service stations which started around 1952.
So, yeah. 1957 Georgia.

A '63 or '64 Ford would not have been around yet in the mid-1950s. AI is interesting, but you have to check its answers. I asked Qwant about a street here in town, hoping to find out who it was named for. The AI Flash Answer gave me several paragraphs of "facts," all of which were dead wrong.
Similarly, during the Book Thread this past Sunday, I wondered what detective series novel a particular quote came from. Someone came back with a title . . . but I have that book, and I can't find that quote anywhere in it.

Median hh income in 1965 was $6900.
Today median hh income is $87K.
1965’s 30 cents is the equivalent of $3.79 relative using the same ratio of income to a gallon of gas. Which is not far from what a lot of the country is paying for gas right now.
Things were not that much cheaper back in “the good olds days” after all.

Unsolicited advice: If he can't walk he should be referred to a PT who can prescribe the properly fitted one and billed to Medicare.
But if he can walk or get around with a cane or walker he should not be in a wheelchair. No need to use that before it is truly necessary.

Not *that* well...
I once drove myself & checked in to ER with (what I suspected was) a UTI. Very painful and getting worse by the minute. Had chugged a quart of water as I left the house. After giving info at the reception desk, felt the urge to puke. Oh, yeah, like I turned inside out, into the trash can.
Still took an hour before they let me in. And I was the *only* person in the waiting area! At 4 a.m. on a weekday. Was unable to give urine sample, because the problem actually was a freaking kidney stone, blocking me.
Was 10 a.m. before they offered anything for pain, and 10:30 when they MRI'd me. (and puking again from the pain med)

The image shows a mid-20th century Southland Oil Co. gas and service station with visible glass-globe or visible-cylinder style gas pumps and classic signage for Ethyl and Regular gas. According to THE GOOGLE this station was located in Dickson County, Tennessee and was torn down in the early 1970s.
Rubbish. It was destroyed by Jonathan Winter who was short changed after buying fuel by the station manager whose ass was still chafing by what Winters did to the gas station in It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World movie.

"The Finnish term for spending the day drinking at home in your underwear with no intention of going out is kalsarikännit, which translates roughly to "pantsdrunk".
What is Kalsarikännit?
The Definition: It combines kalsarit (men's underwear) and kännit (intoxication or getting drunk).
The Vibe: It is treated as a cozy, deliberate form of self-care and relaxation rather than a wild party.
The Rules: You stay home, wear very little clothing, enjoy your favorite drinks, and let go of the pressure to socialize."

No, just went to Gurgle Maps, found my local town, and kept increasing the resolution until I found my house on the sat pic. Click on that, and it spews out lat and long.

This thing is less than a million years ago, and is already the size of Jupiter. And the planet formation models (these are very complex things indeed) are out the window. This thing is much bigger too early for the current models.

That baby star will become a K5 star when it settles on the main sequence, at about 0.8 solar masses.
Only 30 years ago, we had no proof of exoplanets, that is, if there were planets around other stars. Couldn't see them. And then the tech improved and we started seeing them. There's about 6000 known exoplanets now. When Nancy Grace is through, that number should rise to well over 100K.
That sample of 6000 is very piss poor, not representative. It's only the ones we can see with the current detection methods. Nancy Grace should change that and we should get a better sample.
The question is how typical is our solar system and the planets therein. Are we just run of the mill, or are we some kind of outlier. It seems we should have some "super earth" type planets, which we don't, and that's sort of an ongoing mystery.

About the missing super-earths. Some ideas have them being ejected due to some "Grand Tack" ideas about Jupiter and Saturn.
And now there's a crazy theory that the Sun actually swallowed a super-earth very early in the solar system history. And there is some evidence to support it. And that would go along with the Grand tack thing.

Hubby's Dr. recco'd that we elevate the head of bed, so we did that for a long time. Put risers under the head end. Kept sliding down & it became very uncomfortable-- we'd both wake up with our feet hanging over the bottom end!
It helped with our reflux issues, but it was much better to just stop eating within a few hours of bedtime and not feel like we'd slide out of bed while sleeping. LOL.

That would be something to see. A planet of a few earth masses just crashing into the sun.
As wild as it sounds, there are some anomalies with the Sun, little oddities in all the various details about it's composition and structure. Well, anomalies against some rather complex models of stellar structure and behavior, of course. Sample of one problem again. However, those models do work really well for what can be observed about all the other stars we can see.
At any rate, that super-earth crashing into the Sun seems to nicely account for those anomalies.
Until somebody comes along and finds the flaw in it, maybe. Who knows.

Will Starlink work with a better wifi router/booster?
Then you just plug Starlink into the new router, turn the Starlink wifi off, and use the new system.
At least, that’s how it works on my fiber connection where AT&T’s unit sucks at wifi if you need more coverage.

For my reflux, I tried some apple cider vinegar nightly, which I do believe helped up my pH and digestion, but I mainly think it forced me to think about what I ate and when I ate it and when I went horizontal, etc. Rarely give myself reflux nowadays, vinegar or no.

Famotidine pills help too.
They are sold generic in drugs stores, on Amazon, etc.
They are good because if you know you’re going to eat something that will give you trouble you can take the pill 15 minutes ahead of time and it will prevent bad reflux.
It doesn’t work for everybody, though.
Some people have stomach issues beyond the help of a tiny pill.

You don't have anything to worry about on the hundreds of million year time scales. Probably.
The stability of the solar system is one of the big theoretical topics. The solar system is chaotic and has a chaotic time scale somewhere on the order of few million years. They call that the Lyapunov time or something like that.
All you can do is look at probabilties of bad things hapenning. I think there is some small, but non-zero chance of one of the inner planets being ejected or colliding with another one or the Sun on some billion year time scale, before it becomes a red giant.
So, don't lose any sleep over it.

I thought I remembered something. Back in 2023, there was some big paper on years of research on the Solar System Stability question.
Some crazy complex math of the chaos that involved an abstract 18 dimensional space (which sort of modelled points of the all the various configurations).
The orbits of the inner planets are chaotic on a say 10 million year timescale. Yet, they've persisted for billions. They showed that short-time scale chaos is just confined to the positions of the inner planets along their orbits. The shape of the orbits themselves are much more stable. But still, they go wonky over several billion year timescales.

Newton himself wondered about this stability. This was centuries before modern chaos, but he noticed the N-body problem was a bit difficult to say the least, and he couldn't guarantee things wouldn't go awry. But he reasoned that God would just step in and fix it.
Leibniz used this to attack Newton, saying he must be of so little faith to imagine God would create something so unstable that he'd have to fix it from time to time.

Why are Somalis shooting up both Wilmar and Edina in the same day? These towns are 100 miles apart from each other.
Why are Somali gangs operating throughout the entire state and nobody is doing anything about it?
Why can’t we denaturalize and deport these bastards tomorrow?
I’m done.
Absolutely Done.
We shouldn’t have to live like this.
I’m seriously in favor of any naturalized citizen convicted of a violent crime being denaturalized and deported now.
9 years ago, believe it or not, I was marching against Trump’s Muslim immigration ban, if that tells you anything about how open borders, far left policies, and failing to adequately prosecute violent criminals have woken me up and changed my mind.
Now, I’m pissed and my empathy is gone and I have zero tolerance for any of this nonsense.

Might be that you need a hydraulic press, and suitable pushers and receivers to change the bushings. Which might be an easy job if you have that stuff, and not so easy if you don't. Maybe the "loaded" control arm cots little more than the bushings?

If the initial alignment was done with new bushings in the control arm, then a new arm with new bushings should restore that initial alignment.

In a similar vein but not identical I remember an SF story about a world surrounded by a huge wall erected around it. The people had no idea why, then one day one guy determined to find out what was on the other side. He built a huge scaffold, got to the type and set off walking toward the sun. The farther he got the dimmer the sun seemed to be but he kept going. Then it started to grow lighter again and lighter still and he finally got to the edge of the wall and found the top of his scaffold and the team he had left behind. The wall had no other side.

No, just support the arm until disconnected. The two mounting points are oval cutouts, so use a marker around the fitting- that should get you pretty close if not in spec.

yeah, if you have to take the whole control arm off to press in the new bushings on the bench, might as well just pull the old of and replace it with a new control arm
which presents a different set of problems, but is probably easier in the long run

In the true hollow earth theory book (yes, I read the 19th century original) they just draw a line on the shell and call it 'where gravity comes from'. Of course this doesn't work with Newton's law. Spinning the earth fast enough for gravity to work would flip everything on the *outside* off into space, followed by the shell destroying itself.

Don't laugh. That's what a lot of the Flerf logic is. Gravity is static cling. Or it's "density" (heavy objects sink, light objects rise). Of course, when point out you need an actual external force to do that, one that defines which way is "up" vs "down", well.....
And one of them was actually reviving an ancient notion of gravity vs "levity".
The Ancient Greek Homos had that somehow. Ironically, the knew the earth was a sphere, but had this geocentric model. Gravity was "heavy things" wanted to go the center, and "levity", or light things, want to go away from the center.

There were a lot of stories today people shared in an earlier thread about inheritances.
I'm having my last beer day today. I was taking a break from caregiving. I've been carrying Ralphy, 44 pounds, up and down so many steps 24-7. For months. I was so tired but I'm back baby.
Doorbell.
My 'brother' Steve.
The stoicism videos I've been watching haven't fully kicked in. I have forgiven him, for me.
But still, I hollered like an AWFL,, 'Get the fuck off my property. I'm calling the police!'
Yeah, after taking care of Mom and Dad for 14 years, never wanting more than 50% and being thanked by not even giving me a year to get a life together.
And my biggest worry. Ralphy. My last care-giving duty.
Not a duty. Honour.
He was by Mom forever.
I had a few tired days

I think she will find it rather funny.
Being somewhat serious for a moment, the fact of the matter is that all the senses have a role to play. This is lost on Generation Screens, which have only sight and sound. No sense of touch, and even in terms of sound, it's largely overprocessed.
But for those of us who live in the real world, there is a delightful interplay of feel, taste and smell, three senses lost to the online world. There used to be jokes about "Smell-O-Vison" but smell is actually the most powerful of all the senses, which is why perfume/deodorant is such a huge industry.

It's a toss up as to what these glasses will be nicknamed in the future. Either they will be called "Cheat Googgles" (notice my clever play on Google) which means wealthy school kids will be wearing during tests.
Or worse:
They will be called "Pedo Specs". Because two knuckleheads at Havard (AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio) have integrated facial recognition and AI into Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to identify strangers in real time. Large language models parse the data to pull names, occupations, phone numbers, and home addresses, sending the profile to the user's phone in seconds. So, cruising the neighborhood schools and playgrounds with your "Pedo Specs" saves time and effort.

These are reportedly the founders of The Last Ditch lesbian/covid panic bar. And yes, this is real. Reportedly. I didn't take the picture myself so I can't be 100% certain.
Is this Pride-colored UFO over Iran some kind of previously-unknown B-1B variant? The Gay Lancer? Marco Rubio remains tight-lipped.
The feds are cracking down on that thing that never happens.
Feds arrest, indict hundreds in Trump voter fraud crackdown: 'Catching it all over the country' The Justice Department says its crackdown on noncitizen voting and election fraud has already produced more than 200 arrests and indictments, with that number possibly doubling soon and state election officials themselves now facing potential charges for looking the other way.Much more at the link. I shan't believe it. All I know is that America has the most secure elections in history, at least when Democrats win. When they don't win, Jake Tapper writes books titled: Down & Dirty: The Stealing of the Presidency. And I know nothing about Swedish election procedures, but I know it must be the case that this is the Most Secure Election in History because someone from the Global South/Red-Green Alliance won.
Since the Trump Justice Department warned state and local election officials that they could be charged with allowing fraudulent voting activities, more than 200 arrests and indictments have been secured in a crackdown on election fraud and noncitizen voting, and that number could double soon, a top official revealed to Just the News. "I think there are a lot of nervous election officials because I think some of them know that they've been looking the other way when this is happening, and we're catching it all over the country," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said Monday night in an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. Dhillon also hinted at further developments in the coming weeks, suggesting her department has developed evidence calling into question New Jersey's claim that a computer glitch allowed thousands of foreigners to register to vote in that state and about 400 to actually cast ballots in violation of law. "I'm not sure we have the correct numbers from New Jersey. They're not really cooperating with us, and so we will get to the bottom of what happened there. And you know, New Jersey tried to blame a vendor for a mistake or a glitch, quote unquote. But you know, I think there'll be another side to that story," she said. The software vendor Dhillon referred to is IDEMIA, which told Just the News in July that it was the responsibility of New Jersey officials to verify voter registration. ... Dhillon further stated that in the past several weeks, her office has indicted or convicted 67 individuals for election-related crimes, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made more than 160 arrests. ... Left-wing organizations, including the Brookings Institution, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the American Immigration Council, among others, have all claimed that noncitizen voting is either not happening or is incredibly rare. Recent data suggests otherwise. Over the weekend, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News that his agency is investigating 1,620 cases of voter fraud involving noncitizens and has made 151 arrests. He said his department is also looking into an additional 300,000 cases based on states' voter rolls. "We're scrubbing them. We're comparing them to those that are in the country illegally, those that are legal permanent residents and those that are citizens" Mullin told Fox News contributor and former White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany.

Swedish election update. There's now the possibility of a NEW ELECTION in the affected area after authorities are investigating possible ELECTION FRAUD. A man from Somalia who got Swedish citizenship 7 months ago was elected to parliament for the Left. It's reported that people were given money and pre filled ballots and were driven to voting location. The constituency of Dalarna could see a rerun of the election take place with around 223,000 eligible voters.
More at that link, too.
With the confirmation that former CIA Director John Brennan received a subpoena to testify in the ongoing "grand conspiracy" weaponization probe based in Florida, prosecutors appear to be zeroing in on how the ex-spy was at the beginning, middle, and aftermath of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. ... According to the filing, government prosecutor Kurt Olsen told Brennan's counsel the probe is "far-reaching" and includes "issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond." It is aimed at assessing whether Trump's civil rights were violated. The prosecutor reportedly told Brennan's lawyer he was also the "subject" of a separate investigation for alleged false statements to Congress. ... Brennan's fingerprints were on the opening of the federal probe that became the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump and his campaign. Brennan previously testified to Congress in 2017 that the U.S. Intelligence Community had gathered evidence of contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government by July 2016 to initiate an investigation. It was at that point, he told lawmakers, that the CIA set up a special group with both the FBI and the NSA to probe alleged Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. ... What Brennan did not tell congressional investigators at the time was that he was personally made aware of intelligence that same month that then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton personally approved a project to gin up a bogus Russia scandal against her GOP opponent, according to Special Counsel John Durham. Durham had probed the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. Brennan even briefed President Barack Obama and senior administration officials on Clinton's plan, but, not only did Obama's team fail to stop it, it allowed the FBI to push the investigation into the same allegations raised by the campaign, Durham noted. Durham ultimately concluded in his final report that the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016. Durham also found the FBI and Justice Department failed to follow their own standards and allowed the probe to persist with a questionable basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Same is true of half-assed Catholics, who are into abortion rights, or want homosexual marriages blessed. If they actually left the Church because they are no longer Catholic, then they wouldn't have a platform to rage from.
The all need to believe in their own convictions and fuck right off to fuck off mountain.
Or learn humility and discover that maybe, just maybe, Jesus wasn't kidding.

I'm a lesbian and this is not just a thing in this community. It's a thing in our community at large. The annual Boston Dyke March still requires masking, even though it's held entirely outdoors. I'm really, extremely confused by the masking thing in the queer community. I don't see emphasis being put on other methods of infection control.
It seems to be driven by an effort to be accepting of everyone, but over time it warps to exclude people who don’t have the exact preferred ideology.
"by the time of Last Ditch’s monthly community meeting on September 11, only one of the original founders, Matellian, is still involved. The two others stepped back from the daily operation months before, Matellian says, citing various pressures and health issues. One had enrolled in clown school."

It could have a number of purposes....such as air defense testing by tracking capabilities, reaction times, and sensitivity of their own local air defense systems without risking expensive assets. It could be an overt attempt to keep potential coup leaders wary by implying a watchful presence. It was right over Tehran. Likely not a US asset.

Nothing major I don't think. A torn muscle in his hip. AI says he's old and other muscles are supporting or something. No limp or pain. Found looking for something else.
I just freak out at the unknown and it's taken almost a month as the King of Ortho was out of town. I chose him as he's the best. He normally only sees patients up to 50yrs an professional athletes.
We have no idea why my dude was not booted off to a lesser man or sports medicine.
IF he has surgery, based on AI, he would be on crutches for 6wks. We have lots of stairs, which is why I have chosen the basement for him.
It is not a big deal, I just don't deal well with waiting or the unknown.

He "should" be limping weirdly or having pain based on the tear and retraction. He's doing neither, which is why I think he will be a case study.
I do hope no surgery and brand new pain for him (he has back pain due to long distance running and arthritis from his parents).
I will be a good nursie for him altho I hated ortho in school. Let's hope it does not come to surgery, and if it does he says it will have to be compelling before he will agree to it.
Maybe there's magic that AI doesn't cover. He'd go for stem cell injections or PRP out of pocket. No problem for those.
I'd go for a strong gin martini right now but will wait til Friday.

A board member of a gay media empire was seemingly pushed out his role after an employee uproar over his expression of support for President Donald Trump on social media.
Jay Katari resigned from the board of equalpride, a parent company that owns prominent LGBTQ magazines and outlets such as The Advocate, Out, and Them after journalist Kevin Ortega-Rojas dug up a photo of the Utah-based businessman sporting a read hat reading “Trump” and “Keep America Great.”
Katari was tapped as a “Strategic Advisor, Growth & Innovation” just two weeks earlier, according to The Advocate, one of equalpride’s magazines — but his name has since been scrubbed from the LGBTQ-focused media firm’s website.

For 20 Years, Climate Alarmists Have Been Claiming That "Global Warming" Made Hurricanes More Numerous and More Severe.
For the First Time in Over 100 Years, We've Had a Hurricane-Free Summer.
For the first time in more than a century, there has been not one single hurricane by September 21st.
Chris MartzYou'd think the media would be talking about this, because they love stories about weather anomalies, but no, it's mostly just Fox and conservative outlets reporting the story. The climate mongers are of course absolutely silent about this. Michael Schellenberger notes that the leftist "climate scientists" have been torturing the data until it confesses what they want it to say for a long, long time.
@ChrisMartzWX Sep 22 For the first time in 112 years, there have been ZERO Atlantic hurricanes by this point in the calendar year. The last time this happened was in 1914, two years after the R.M.S. Titanic sank. 1914 was the year that my great-grandmother was born. It was also the year World War I broke out, and when the Panama Canal officially opened to traffic. Charlie Chaplin directed his first film, Caught in a Cabaret, that year too. Year-to-date accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), an integrated metric that accounts for tropical cyclone frequency, intensity, and duration, is lowest on record in the satellite era (since 1966) with 6.3 units generated. Overall since 1851, North Atlantic ACE is lowest year-to-date since 1929 (although pre-satellite era data should be taken with a grain of salt). To have a TOP FIVE end-of-year total overall, Atlantic ACE must remain below 18.1 units. To have a TOP FIVE satellite-era end-of-year total, ACE must remain below 34.4 units. The latter is almost certainly doable I think. A top five finish since 1851 is going to be hard to accomplish, but is possible. October will ultimately decide our ranking. Interestingly and perhaps unsurprisingly, of the top ten lowest year-to-date ACE totals, all were either El Niño or ENSO netural.
Know-nothing Democrat propagandist Jake Tapper, as non-expert as a non-expert can be in all matters, has been pushing the climate hoax all his life.
Michael Shellenberger
@shellenberger Climate change makes hurricanes more frequent and intense, they said. But for the first time in 112 years, the Atlantic hasn't produced a single one. On storms, sea level, and droughts, manipulated models can show, under equally valid assumptions, the exact opposite trends. For two decades, scientists have said that human emissions have made hurricanes stronger, seas rise faster, and droughts more severe. "This combined PDI has nearly doubled over the past 30 yr," said the 2005 Nature paper by Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with PDI being his index of storm power. Warming raised the odds that a storm reached major hurricane strength by "about 8% per decade," said the 2020 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) by James Kossin of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Climate change made a storm like Hurricane Melissa more frequent "by a factor of about 5," said the Nov. 6, 2025 report by World Weather Attribution (WWA). The seas would rise "0.5 to 1.4 meters above the 1990 level" by 2100, said the 2007 Science paper by Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. The atmosphere's thirst had "made droughts 40% more severe across the globe," the University of Oxford said in June 2025 of a paper in Nature, which the journal retracted on Sept. 2. "It is likely that the global proportion of major (Category 3-5) tropical cyclone occurrence has increased over the last four decades," the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in 2021. But in every case, the instruments directly measuring the phenomenon in question (storm strength, tide gauges, and rain gauges) show no trend, or no acceleration, beyond natural variability. Atlantic hurricane counts rose across the 20th century only because ships and satellites found storms that earlier detection methods had missed, and the recorded increases "are consistent with changes in observing practices and not likely a true climate trend," concluded the 2021 Nature Communications paper by Gabriel Vecchi of Princeton and Chris Landsea of the National Hurricane Center. Meanwhile, 2026 is the first year since 1914 that the Atlantic has produced six named storms and no hurricanes. In terms of sea level rise, "There is no evidence for an apparent acceleration in the past 100+ years that is significant either statistically, or in comparison to values associated with global warming," found a 1992 study by Bruce Douglas. That remains the case today. "In both datasets, approximately 95% of the suitable locations show no statistically significant acceleration of the rate of sea level rise," said an August 2025 paper by Hessel Voortman and Rob De Vos, which ran the test at 204 stations in one global network and 39 in another. "Meteorological droughts do not show any substantial changes at the global scale in at least the last 120 years," concluded a 2022 review by Sergio Vicente-Serrano of the Spanish National Research Council, who co-wrote the Oxford paper. "We find no significant acceleration of drought trends across ~99% of quasi-global land area under either PET type," said a September 2026 paper in Communications Earth & Environment by Jiameng Xu, Kaighin McColl of Harvard and seven co-authors, PET being the atmosphere's potential to evaporate water.

I'm sure back when Katrina and Gustav were doing their thing to the Gulf coast, that we had a year with the most hurricanes ever (I think they ran out of alphabet, or were near to it). The fear mongers insisted that that was the way it was always going to be from there on out, and then there were none the following year.
Maybe it was none that made landfall?

"Oh, we're supposed to get worse weather??? Well, how come we have fewer storms than ever, brainiac??? You guys keep crying wolf, all part of your liberal agenda."
Hurricanes reduce ocean heat content. In the absence of hurricanes, ocean heat content will rise, causing greater sea level increases. And the additional ocean heat content will accelerate hurricane intensity when they next emerge.
Hurricanes are vital for replenishing underground aquifers and lakes.
The el Nino will indeed be ridiculously strong. Another once in a lifetime event I get to live through!
There's also been a lot of Sahara dust this season. It also slows down the formation of hurricanes.
We may have no hurricanes, but my kid has been weather delayed 3 times in the past two weeks due to lightning storms. There were zero delays *last year*.
There sure seems to be a lot of unprecedented events happening lately.

El Nino strong this year. So, Pacific based storms are plentiful due to goblal climate change.
El Nino strong this year due to climate change and the wind shear is disallowing Atlantic storms to form
Next year when El Nina increases, and Atlantic storms go back to normal they will say exactly the opposite.
It's a no lose situation for the Climate alarmists, and they always set themselves up with a contradictory position. It's just best not to play the game.

I found a very interesting cheapie paperback book at a thrift store: It was the first volume of what was intended to be an annual series, titled something like "Wild Earth: A Compendium of the year's most extreme natural phenomenon: 1972 edition," (forget exact wording of title), which turned out to be exactly that: 300 pages detailed all the crazy weather that happened that year, around the world.
And -- it was indeed "wild"! All sorts of crazy-ass shit happened all over the globe. In 1972. And if that had been in the internet era, each and every incident would have been touted as "proof" that "Climate Change" was happening.
And this of course goes on every year, since the beginning of time -- there is ALWAYS crazy weather SOMEWHERE in the world. That's not "change," that's saying the same. Real
Climate change" would be a year of nothing happening, no extremes and no trends.
But then they'd invent a new crisis:

Climate scientists (real ones) have understood the El Nino and La Nina effects for a long time.
El Nino causes more wind shear in Atlantic basin, which is deadly to the formation of hurricanes because they need calm wind to enable circulation.
In the Pacific the opposite happens and they get less wind shear and more hurricanes. Since this has been an exceptionally large and warmer El Nino this year the Western Pacific has been getting hammered with major hurricane after major hurricane all summer.
The opposite effects occur during La Nina events when the waters in the equatorial Pacific cool down instead of warm up.

The dispute over Missouri's new congressional map returned to the Supreme Court for the third time, with justices considering whether the state can use the GOP-backed map in the midterm elections.
People Not Politicians, the group opposing the redrawn congressional map, filed an emergency motion with the U.S. Supreme Court on Sept. 22 after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that using the 2022 map in the Nov. 3 general elections would be unconstitutional, as the state had already used the redrawn 2025 map in the August 2026 primaries.

When I was about to go off to college my brother and I were walking the fields to the mall when we saw a thunderstorm coming with lightning so we turned back. It caught up with us walking along a tree line towards a metal shed about 20 foot away. Then a stroke hit a tree branch behind us even closer, setting the branch on fire. We took off to the house across the yard and one stroke hit behind us and one hit the TV antenna of the house and it glowed white. The people in the house let us in until the storm passed a bit later.
So lighting may not hit the same place, but it can get pretty damn close.

Absolute bullshit. Complete, and total, bullshit. Ignores everything known about how to install grounding for anything.
Lighting happens because, for the sake of simplicity, a voltage develops in those clouds and the ground. The literally fucking ground.
An arc happens. It goes where it goes. Not always in big enough values to bother with the least resistive path. Its a wave event.
In that instance ? A lightning rod is ABSOLUTELY like sticking a golf club in the air. A dumb damn idea.

For CONVENTIONAL lightning rods, sure. In the former Yugoslavia (and elsewhere in the Soviet sphere, probably), factories and critical infrastructure were protected by rods tipped with radioactive Cobalt 60, which was supposed to attract lightning due to their ionizing rays or something. I guess they kind of worked, but having exposed chunks of radioactive material everywhere was a problem, especially after governments fell, factories were abandoned, and lightning rods started falling over or getting scavenged for metal...

The pointed shape creates an intense field at the point which makes it an attractive location relative to other areas. It is also higher. When it gets hit, the charge is sent through the ground through the ground wire instead of a path that will burn or explode.

The object is to provide a safe ground when lighting does strike, which it usually does to the highest object around, regardless of whether it has a rod on it or not.
That's not to say lighting won't strike a lower object too, it often does.

Apparently the defense contractors and many of the senior flag officers were in on it too until Hegseth.
Witness how Lockheed just recently sent ultra top secret F-35 parts to Australia via Chinese owned logistics company--the goods never arrived for the Australians. Or Los Alamos and other nuclear research labs opening themselves up wide to bring in Chicom visiting profs and grad students.
Basically the US ruling class is so resistant to Trump because they have been pimping Uncle Sam to all of our country's strategic and economic rivals so they can take turns screwing us.

The decay emits a Beta two gamma rays. The Betas momentum will strip off electrons from the air, and perhaps the gamma might too. I suppose it might make it a better target than average. The cloud chambers you might have seen in physics class use supersaturated air to form water droplets around these ionized atoms as the beta rips past them, making a visible track at each decay. Pretty cool.

As nutty as some of the immediate post-war ideas in the US were for using nuclear power and explosives, the Soviets walked the walk. I recall when the word went out that we might need to help them find remote weather stations scattered around the former USSR (powered by fuels suitable for dirty-bomb applications). And of course the long sad record of Northern Fleet health outcomes.
I remember guys involved in scouting out candidate factories for our defense conversion aid program in the 90s talking about how they wore their dosimeter badges under their shirts. One time they came out of a former light industry factory with their badges maxed out, and they were having fun trying to decide where in the building the "stuff" was.

Milei is from a completely different school of economics, and has the benefit of 80 years of failed mainstream economics to both show what to avoid and to give the Argentinians enough desperation to avoid doing what they always have done (Peronism).
Bukele was accused early on with having secret advisors who were chased out of Venezuela by Chavez, and enough desperation to try what had never been done before
Both El Salvador and Argentina are both rich countries, but the governments have stolen that wealth to buy votes and never gave anything back for running the country. They are an example to the rest of the West - it might work since most of South America is rich in resources and labor - and it looks like it might work.

Candace Owens and Harvey Weinstein deal? Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein groveled for “mercy” during his sentencing in a Manhattan courtroom Wednesday, where prosecutors revealed his alleged plot to pay a podcaster $1.75 million to “instill fear” in his victims. The New York Post thinks that podcaster is Candace Owens.
“Prosecutors alleged during the hearing that they had recordings of Weinstein offering a podcaster $1.75 million in a jailhouse phone call to release videos to help his defense by “contaminating the jury pool and reaching the seated jurors before and after the trials.”
“Blumberg did not identify the podcaster, but Candace Owens released a podcast series in 2025 called “Harvey Speaks,” which featured videos of Weinstein at the notorious city lockup. She didn’t return requests for comment Wednesday.”

I Voted for This: Trump Administration Set to Remove 760,000 Fraudulent Enrollees in ObamaCare
All medical fraud requires a "patient" whose name can be used to bill the government for fake services rendered.
Cleaning up the rolls of fake enrollees who are easily used as "Straw Patients" will save billions more in addition to the $2.2 billion which will be saved directly by ending these fraudulent accounts. And deporting the illegal aliens signed up for the fraudulent Obamacare accounts will save even more money.Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials said Tuesday they plan to remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from public healthcare exchanges, alleging that the individuals were fraudulently enrolled in the program, or simply do not exist. Vance said the discovery and canceled subsidy payments for hundreds of thousands of people from the exchanges, part of an administration-wide crackdown on fraud, would result in $2.2 billion in cost savings. "We're actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them," said Vance, who leads a government task force to eliminate fraud. He was flanked by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, and other administration officials. Vance said the cancellation of approximately 315,000 enrollments covering 760,000 people was done in part because the government was not checking whether people enrolled were eligible. Vance said another 419,000 enrollments will get additional verification to make sure they are eligible for the benefit. The Trump administration also announced a six-month suspension on new agents or brokers who sign up enrollees for healthcare coverage, who officials say commit a disproportionate amount of the fraud they uncovered. ... Premiums doubled or tripled for many enrollees, prompting millions to downgrade their plans or exit the program entirely after the Republican-led Congress allowed the subsidies to expire this year. The Government Accountability Office suggests fraud risks in the advance premium tax credit do exist - however it's unclear at what scale. The GAO conducted covert testing using fictitious ACA applicants enrolled in 2024 and 2025. A report released in December showed that the federal marketplace approved subsidized coverage for almost all of the GAO's 24 fake enrollees.Democrats immediately demanded Trump reinstate the fraudulent accounts -- proving that they're all about the fraud as a means of paying off their (often illegal) voters and then later receiving kickbacks from them.
From fraudulent enrollees, who are illegal aliens, who you claim aren't eligible for Obamacare and aren't on it.
Democratic lawmakers criticized the move to remove enrollees from ACA coverage. Richard E. Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, said "Republicans have already created the worst healthcare crisis ever, but every decision by the Trump Administration is designed to keep making it worse." "As if making coverage harder to access through skyrocketing premiums and more red tape wasn't painful enough, they're doubling down to take it away entirely," Neal said.

So this notion that we should just inflate the currency and expand the debt to pay for healthcare for illegals is not just wrong, not just morally wrong, but f*cking offensive.

We must punish the GOP for not doing enough by not voting for more conservative members of the Senate to replace people like Mitch, Cassidy, Cornyn, Ernst, and Tillis, all of whom are retiring.

The ACA got too popular during COVID.
It went from negative approval to +35 approval. Largely because of the temporary subsidies that the OBBB failed to extend.
Remember when the GOP was going to lose the midterms because the ACA was getting too expensive? It was like 12 narratives about the GOP losing the midterms ago, before Goode and Pretti were murdered and all immigration enforcement stopped.
Trump made the move to make the ACA unpopular again by ending the artificial price tags that people were seeing that made it seem so cheap. The political will may or may not develop after that to repeal it. We'll see.

Their plan is to break things first, and let the courts take so long catch up that it's too late to fix it. In this case, they hope enough people die that it's a moot point by the time the courts step in.
These fucking morons do understand that a good portion of these people are MAGA, right?
Be assured they likely compared the lists against voter rolls so only Dem voters are affected. Leave the majority of the MAGA on there since they've essentially shutdown the majority of rural hospitals - where most MAGA live - they won't use the ACA either, then.
The worst part is they are going after ppl that are on ACA but never had had to use their services. Those are the people you want on ACA, they are low cost and have the ACA as insurance *if* they need it (exactly how insurance is supposed to work)
What does it mean to save the country $2billion when they spend so much on the endless Iran war? Their priorities are fucking messed up.

That's the sort of thing that's needed. Joe Thompson, the fed who prosecuted the Feeding Our Future fraud in Minnesota, said the fraud is too big to prosecute. We need to tear down these programs. And that will require a miracle, or a couple of generations of MAGA leadership. Trump/Vance needs to start softening the ground now.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah Melissa Holyoak says a federal grand jury indicted a former postal worker accused of discarding more than 300 mail-in ballots ahead of Utah’s June 2026 primary.
Holyoak says the investigation began after voters reported not receiving their ballots and county officials identified unusually low voter participation in the area.

Son of Israel's ambassador to US seriously injured in ramming attack in the occupied West Bank
The son of Israel’s ambassador to the United States was gravely injured in a ramming attack in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.
Neria Leiter, a reservist in Israel’s military, “needs a miracle,” Ambassador Yechiel Leiter said in a social media post. Leiter’s older son, Moshe Yedidya Leiter, who also served in Israel’s military, was killed in Gaza just days after the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack, which triggered the war in Gaza.
According to the military and law enforcement, a Palestinian man rammed his car into a security checkpoint Wednesday afternoon near the settlement of Beit Horon, seriously wounding the officer.
Israeli forces at the scene then “opened fire at the terrorist as he attempted to flee” and killed him. More military forces were deployed in the area in the aftermath.

I think he's got a case. There are so many people involved, and they are so nimble -- switching names, businesses, addresses, programs to take advantage of -- that you can't catch them with our current resources.
The problem is the programs -- riddled with security holes and administered by crooks from the intake clerk to the director. They need to be rolled back, business process re-engineered, everyone fired, and then MAYBE reintroduced. I'm sure half of them could be trashed anyway.

A skeptical Redditor answered:
the way it allegedly works is that an unscrupulous broker signs someone up for ACA insurance. They set it up so that they qualify for $0 premiums and the government pays the insurance companies. The insurance companies then pay the brokers a commission.
Another thing they're all hot and bothered about is people who live in states that didn't expand Medicaid, but don't make enough to qualify for ACA coverage. They're supposedly over-estimating their income to just high enough to qualify for either $0 premiums or very low cost coverage.

It was effectively dead once the premium support disappeared. There is still some viability for some low income people but most of them are medicaid eligible and are being funneled that way.
I wish McCain wouldn't have been an ass on his death bed but the ACA is for the most part dead, and cleaning up the fraud from it will make it even more mostly dead.

The GOP is individualizing races against opponents, focusing on GOTV efforts combined with massive ad spends that define the Democrats as crazy and dangerous.
It's an effort at base turnout (and depressing the Democrat base) that understands that midterm turnout is mostly about getting soft partisans to the polls.
A national message isn't necessary because there's no one national race. You don't run the same campaign against Roy Cooper and James Talarico and El-Sayed.

Summary -
If multiple rings operated at scale, used fake identities, and exploited switching bonuses - given the size of the CMS cleanup (760,000 people), the multi-year duration, and the known commission structures, fraud rings almost certainly made hundreds of millions — and possibly crossed the billion-dollar mark.

I get the "advance premium tax credit" because I's po'.
The thing that gets me is if I had to pay the Obamacare premiums myself, I wouldn't be able to afford them (They're about a quarter of my monthly income), and if I had enough money to afford them, I wouldn't need the insurance, because I could just put that money aside myself and pay out of pocket.

US has deported 25,000 to third countries under secretive deals: report
...The vast majority -- around 20,000 -- were sent to Mexico, (awww, that's not what I voted for!) but the rest were dispersed to 27 other countries across Latin America, Africa, and the Pacific, and agreements have been finalised with seven more.
An AFP investigation earlier this year found Washington is using visa bans and restrictions on African countries to strongarm them into accepting deportees.
The US is back to selling slaves again...yay. This time we’re playing both sides, so that we always come out on top.
and the chucklefucks defend this fascism. we can vote to end this nonsense, November is right around the corner guys
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. If you want to pick where you go then I would suggest self deportation. Get fucked, bitches! (I may have added that last part)

Flagged brokers submitted "statistically implausible rates" of applications for the 2026 coverage year that completely lacked mandatory data, such as Social Security numbers or verified citizenship documentation.
They were, also, screwing over the properly enrolled participants by creating "ghost files" and changing the coverage limits to increase premiums without the applicant's knowledge.

Yeah, but then they saw the tax consequences for off loading their employees, and the revelation that the coverage was crap, and any employer who pushed their employees to the Marketplace was looking for an employee relations disaster, they wish it was never introduced.
I tried, was in DC for meetings with our congress critters. Essentially got thrown out of a dem reps office when I suggested my CFO and I would be thrown in jail if we had a program financed and costing like this one was.

Waves materialize unevenly.
A blue wave will see massive upswings in blue districts while red districts move slightly to the left.
If we're in a wave, the effects of redistricting in 2020 and this year means that the furthest a blue wave could crest would be about 225 seats for the Democrats, and that's assuming they get every toss up.
Senate races make things more complex. The GOP won a net of 2 senate seats in 2018 in a D+9 environment. They drive up turnout to presidential levels in the states that have them. So, they tend to reflect presidential performance in the last general than anything else.
Trump won TX by 14 in 2024.

More AI research (I hate Obamacare even more than I thought!)-
Why brokers exist even though Healthcare.gov is self‑serve:
The ACA is complex
People want help
Brokers are free to consumers
Insurers want brokers to bring in customers
Brokers get paid only if they enroll you
Commissions create incentives (good and bad)
The Marketplace is self‑serve, but the ACA ecosystem is not self‑explanatory.
Commissions are the #1 driver of both legitimate broker behavior and ACA fraud.

The Fed Govt allowed what is called EDE (Enhanced Direct Enrollment). This allowed private brokers and web based platforms to create their own software to build customized entryways into Healthcare.gov. These dicey brokers just excluded the indentification obligations from their own customized program. Then they bulk loaded thousands of applications, many of which were non-existent applicants. Then they fabricated the financial status of the applicant to get the sweetest premium.
In short, I'm sure there were illegal immigrants taking advantage of the program, but the real fraud falls likely with dishonest insurance brokers and less to do with immigration. Weak government oversight without consideration for abuse is the culprit. And, this was set up this way so that they could expedite enrollments to show a necessary government program.

We're probably going to lose the House, but barely. Turnout differentials are a thing. Not even Obama's vaunted campaign team, who were lauded as the future and the best ever, could undo that, and they lost two midterms really, really badly.
And then Jeffries can try to run impeachment theater where his majority of 5 has 9 House members from Trump+5 districts.
All while OBBB fully funded and appropriated ICE through 2028 and Trump can just deport everyone still.
But, massive wave because cheating will make it so that we're losing senate seats in TX, OH, AK, and IA?

One big thing has changed is awareness. Even in 2020 when the fraud was blindingly obvious there many people on our side who claimed that Trump somehow lost to a guy who barely left his basement and even less frequently could complete a single sentence without fucking it up. Yep, Joe fucking Biden got more votes than any president in US history.
Now way more people don't just think but know Democrats cheat. They fight every election integrity project that comes up. And people are angry about it. Knowing the problem exists has to come first before you can monitor, fight back against it and ultimately fix it.

Then outsource the prosecution to volunteers. No need for courts or activist judges, incompetent prosecutors and fickle jurors. Will give Caterpillar and the lime business a shot in the arm.
In turn, the Quality of Life for those not engaged in fraud will improve as parks, roads, and public venues become less crowded; utility demand drops, housing and food prices ease due to less pressure demand; insurance rates across all modalities should drop as risks are removed...

NY and CA...nothing...you are correct. NJ, on the other hand removed (I think as of now over 30,000) illegal immigrants from the roll. This doesn't sound like much unless you understand how ballot dumping works. They take a residence and then misrepresnt it as an apartment (which adds residences via apartment numbers that don't exist). They they use those addresses for registrations. For every single illegally registered individual with a residence, there is the potential for about 50 to 100 other votes from non-existent addresses. Most of these illegal immigrants probably don't even know it's occurring in their names.

Boston Globe Op-Ed: The "Trans Genocide" Is a Lie
And a deadly one, I'd add, because the vicious propaganda of a "trans genocide" is used to rile up the mentally ill to commit murder, as we have seen in the case of the "Ziz" transgender murder cult and, despite what simpleton narcissist Candace Owens says, the assassination of a Charlie Kirk by a gay trans-loving furry avenger.
The media attacks every "right wing conspiracy theory" they claim might lead to violence, while affirmatively pushing left-wing conspiracy theories like the "lynching" trend that does not exist. But so what if some normies get murdered. The important thing is that we jack up Democrat voting enthusiasm. It's a bit unexpected to see the liberal David Mastio writing about the "trans genocide" fiction in the ultra-lib Boston Globe, so I'll award Hufflepuff one credit. Note, however, Mastio and the Globe cannot admit the truth -- that in fact transgenders experience violence at lower rates than normal people, which is pretty amazing considering they tend to work in dangerous fields like prostitution -- and still pretend that this is a big problem."The numbers show that trans people are not killed in higher rates than other groups, but for Reasons We're Making Up Right Now we should be allowed the 'real' number to be much higher."
In Trump's America, violence against transgender people isn't going up -- it's going down
The data contradicts the popular narrative. The notion that transgender people face soaring levels of violence is so ingrained in the public discourse, it gets little scrutiny even in the reddest and most trans-rights skeptical areas of the country -- like my hometown. In a front page story this summer on the local Pride march, the Omaha World-Herald uncritically quoted a trans rights activist claiming that a proposed state ballot measure that would restrict transgender girls' and women's participation in school sports "won't actually protect" biological women and girls and "will increase violence" against LGBTQ people. Stigmatizing transgender people, the argument goes, leads to attacks. ... But despite a hostile Trump administration and a barrage of anti-trans legislation across the country, the number of violent deaths the group documents has fallen nearly 50 percent from 53 in 2023 to 27 in 2025. Advocacy groups insist the data is incomplete and shouldn't be used to draw any conclusions about the prevalence of anti-trans violence. That's due, they say, to the bigotry of families and authorities who misname and misgender the victims, making it hard to discern from public records how many transgender people are dying.
Oh they do admit it late in the article. That's something, I guess.
Still it's hard to imagine that as awareness about the transgender community has grown, misgendering and pronoun-swapping have become more common in police reports and news accounts than they were a decade ago, when another prominent LGBTQ organization, the Human Rights Campaign, began publishing its own numbers on violence against transgender people. The HRC tallies, too, find a declining number of violent transgender deaths to mourn. The group found a peak in 2021 of 47 deaths falling to 27 last year. HRC described that 40 percent drop as an "ongoing onslaught of violence." Federal FBI hate crimes data also shows a decline in the abuse of trans people between 2024 and 2025. One hate crime is one too many, but for all the backlash against transgender people, an analysis by the conservative Manhattan Institute shows they actually have a lower murder rate than does the population as a whole.
Meanwhile: Here's the reality.
I offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me. And I can find no evidence that they have disputed the report in the months since its publication.

@wesyang US Democrats have declared forbidding any woman from drawing a boundary between herself and any man who says he is a woman to be the "civil rights movement of the 21st century. They join the center-Left parties across the Western world and Anglosphere in their unswerving commitment to this principle. In the US, it meant allowing a convicted sex offender to loiter naked in a Fairfax County girls changing room for hours. In Australia, it means allowing a man who filmed a video of himself raping a five year-old girl to enter any female bathroom or changing room.

I was thinking about this yesterday in the context of the Converse ad. The left goes hammer and tongs against any perceived propaganda, even going so far as to hallucinate propaganda. If the right had the balls to do this against every single propaganda effort from the left, we might be in a better position culturally.

Of course, everyone knows that is a lie.
Even his own "pastor" said it was a lie just to get elected.
And he privately confirmed it was just a lie for the Fox News rubes at a recent fundraiser in Houston.
That he's still all-in on all the radical trannie lies.
Anyway, the thing about these lies about trannies is not that they are lies, it's that those who believe them WANT to be lied to.
They want the lie.
As justification to excuse what they already believe.

I would never get violent against them without a hazmat suit due to fear of smegma in fake fur. Plus I am now a sovereign citizen. When arrested for clubbing them I will pull out my sovereign citizen card I downloaded.
Which means, like Clancy, I can do anything and no one can send me to prison.

Maybe part of it is that most humans became comfortable enough, and busy enough doing interesting things other than bare tooth-and-nail survival, that we simply stopped feeling the need to "correct" the freaks. We ignored them, and they disappeared into obscurity. One here, one there. Our life goes on. But that just created a huge dissolved moiety of freaks on our planet, and then the advent of Everyone Can Talk To Literally Everyone over the dawn of the 21st century made all that dissolved Weberian freak juice crystallize out of solution and now it's front and center in everyone's face, perfectly convenient for post-Marxist ontoclasts to shanghai into their little army of retards.

Democrat Ashleigh Aitken’s chief of staff, Berenice Ballinas, made the damning allegations in a Sept. 11 note sent to the city attorney, signed by her lawyer, and reviewed by TimesOC.
Her lawyer says Aitken, who is running for her second term, made the slur while Ballinas was driving her home, which she sometimes did since beginning her work with Aitken in 2022.
“On various occasions when Ms. Ballinas was forced to drive Mayor Aitkin home, Mayor Aitkin [sic] exclaimed that she did ‘not want her car driven by a dirty Mexican,’” employment attorney Lawrence Lennemann wrote in his mediation request to Anaheim City Attorney Robert Fabela.

🚨BREAKING: Ericka Lomick, the Democratic nominee for Texas House District 93, has suspended her campaign after her criminal record surfaced.
Federal court records from North Carolina show she pleaded guilty in 2011 to mortgage-fraud conspiracy, bank fraud, and money-laundering conspiracy. She was sentenced to 63 months in prison — more than five years.
She ran as Ericka Lomick. The case lists her as Ericka Flood. A PAC put the file in public view on September 17. By Monday she was out.
Her campaign said questions about eligibility made her step aside so the district would not spend the fall on her past.

the language used in that report is disgusting:

Trump and anyone supporting him *will* burn in hell
I cannot stress enough that Nazis didn't "just round German citizens up and put them in death camps" right away. They increased pressure and violence against vulnerable minorities steadily over the course of 25 years, from 1920 to 1945. Trump was first elected 10 years ago...
Forced conversion therapy of trans people is a genocidal practice (over doubles suicide rates) intended to partially destroy the group. And ICE agents are forcing detained trans people into conversion therapy against their will. So yes, there is a genocide according to its definition in the 1948 Genocide Convention.

"By ‘Genocide’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Genocide sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Genocide’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come."

In the past, law enforcement was trained to respond to a man in a woman's bathroom as unreservedly nefarious. There was never any legitimate reason to be considered. Start from that basis and then find out what else he's done or intending to do, search his stuff, etc.
That has eroded into no response at all, or a consideration of his identity, a gentle questioning, and a "Have a nice day."
It's gone from criminal/criminal intent to harmless self-expression.

It's funny, the trannies I've seen were literally in Hollywood and San Francisco -- cliche but true! The Hollywood guy was just a guy packing groceries, maybe earning a living while hoping for bigger things in the industry. Or maybe just living his best life packing groceries, who knows?
The other was a guy heading to work at PG&E in his wig, dress, heels, etc. I feel kinda sorry for his coworkers, probably have to call him "Ellie" or something and refer to him as she/her.

The UK is a different case, because the elites and the new rich don't see the middle class and lower class English as part of their country at all. Even the Dems haven't quite reached that point so they have to invent pseudo moral failings in their opponents to persecute them.
In the UK it was tradition not to care about lower classes.

Congressional Report Accuses Jack Smith of Knowingly Violating the Constitution to Try to "Sway" the Election in the Democrats' Favor
One agent testified that Jack Smith had hid from him the fact that they accounts they were surveilling belonged to Congressmen. Almost as if he knew what he was doing was illegal and wanted to limit the number of witnesses.
The House Judiciary Committee concluded in a report released Wednesday that the Biden-Harris administration wielded the Justice Department as a weapon and "ran roughshod" over constitutional protections and the separation of powers in order to spy on Republican members of Congress. The report, which the committee released on Wednesday, summarizes several years worth of investigation conducted by the committee into the tenure of Special Counsel Jack Smith, his investigations into President Donald Trump, and how he used those investigations to obtain privileged phone records from lawmakers. "The Biden-Harris Administration, including Special Counsel Smith, ran roughshod over key constitutional protections to spy on Republican Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate," the lawmakers concluded. "Contemporaneous documents and testimony to the Committee reveal a deliberate assault by the Biden-Harris DOJ on fundamental separation of powers between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch," the committee later added. In all, the committee found evidence that the FBI and Smith's team got phone toll records from 17 GOP members of Congress and text messages from as many as 44, some including information privileged to Congress, the report said. Among those targeted were former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan. The report concluded the DOJ "disregarded the separation of powers to spy on their political opposition." In obtaining the phone records, without notice and ability to challenge in a court of law, "the Biden-Harris Administration violated the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause, a core provision that protects the official actions and communications of Members of Congress and immunizes them from prosecution for legislative acts," the committee said in the report. ... The committee later found that more than 160 Republicans were targeted by Smith's probe, codenamed Arctic Frost. These included individuals like former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, Rep. Scott Perry, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, former Trump attorney John Eastman, and former Rep. Mark Meadows, who later served as Trump's chief of staff. At the time, it was believed that Smith accessed toll records, which do not include the content of messages sent. However, new documents the committee published in July show that, in fact, Smith's team did access content by apparently bypassing the established Filter Team, which is responsible for evaluating and segregating privileged information. This revelation has exposed Smith to possible perjury charges. During his prior testimony to Congress, the prosecutor told lawmakers emphatically, "no," that his team did not request the content of messages, only the toll records. Before releasing the report on Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee made public the testimonies of five former prosecutors on Smith's team and a Justice Department agent during the Arctic Frost investigation.
Retired Justice Department Inspector General Special Agent Brian Burnett was quoted in the transcript as saying that during his decades working at the DOJ's watchdog, he never once was asked to collect congressional phone data and did not learn until after he retired in late 2024 that he had unwittingly done so as part of his work for Smith's team prosecuting Trump in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigation code-named Arctic Frost.They also accused Smith of acting as a Democrat Party election-rigging operative.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is accusing former special counsel Jack Smith and the former Biden administration of trying to "sway" the 2024 election with the Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into President Donald Trump and his allies. ... "The Special Counsel's prosecutors tried to silence President Trump with unlawful gag orders, threatened defense attorneys, mishandled key documents, and broke protocol to release a massive trove of alleged evidence just weeks before the presidential election to sway public opinion," the report said.This is something special: Biden's/Garland's Public Integrity Section realized that this was all illegal and unconstitutional but decided it was no big deal because, owing to the illegal gag orders they would get liberal judges to impose to keep the victims from knowing their rights had been abused, there was little chance of actually getting sued over any of it.
"Internal documents show that Arctic Frost investigators, and later Smith's team, had only limited, perfunctory discussions with subject-matter experts in DOJ's Public Integrity Section (PIN) about the constitutionality of these seizures," the report said. "Although PIN cautioned that the subpoenas could be unconstitutional, PIN approved them nonetheless, asserting there was little 'litigation risk' because the gag orders that accompanied the subpoenas would prevent Members from ever discovering the seizures. As a result, Members of Congress were unaware of the Biden-Harris DOJ's spying for more than two years."

NEW: Transcripts released by @JudiciaryGOP once again confirm collaboration between Biden DOJ/Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Biden White House. Here is JP Cooney--who pushed for investigations into Trump and his circle immediately after Jan 6 then detailed to Jack Smith's team after his appointment in Nov 2022--admitting he communicated with Biden's WH counsel. This aligns with my reporting a few years ago disclosing how Biden DOJ interacted with Biden WH Counsel Jonathan Su in late 2021 and into 2022 before he stepped down in Oct. 2022. More evidence debunking media claims that the Biden DOJ acted independently of the Biden White House--and that somehow President Trump's engagement in DOJ matter is "unprecedented."

I want to know why bloody NATO allowed that Iran creep to speak when Iran is not in NATO. This seems rather bullshite to me and a committe should be formed.

Contrast that to what happened when Democrats were in charge.

Just like the whole exercise with the hold out juror on the Clancy case was a message to future jurors, I think the Administration is going to apply that same logic to "special counsel."
I don't see Trump brushing this under the carpet. I suspect certain facets of the DOJ are drawing up indictments and there will be (at the very least) a Grand Jury on some of it. Smith, very flagrantly, ignored the Constitution. Hell, he wasn't even qualified to be a "Special Counsel" based on the DOJ's own policy.
So, I think Jack Smith is going to become an example. Smith better hope the Republicans come out on top in the mid-terms, because if they don't, Trump and his DOJ are going to have an excess of time to address grievances.

Richard Grenell, U.S. President Donald Trump’s Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, has sharply criticized the Hague verdict against former Kosovo President and KLA political leader Hashim Thaçi, calling the sentence “scandalous” and urging Kosovo to move toward dissolving the Kosovo Specialist Chambers.
...
He specifically criticized Swiss judge Guénaël Mettraux, alleging that he had ignored legal issues and instead followed what Grenell described as the politics associated with former U.S. prosecutor Jack Smith.

I wonder if this is accurate. Did an actual judge actually issue a gag order, or was this a case of the prosecutors demanding records and then quoting the law about restrictions on disclosures? If there were judges who issued gag orders, I would like to know their names. Was Boasberg one of them, for example.

Grenell went further by calling for the international courts involved in such prosecutions to lose their funding.
“All of these courts should be defunded immediately,” he wrote, urging the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Todd Blanche to act.
“Americans are paying for these political prosecutions and this must end,” Grenell added.
He also directly addressed Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, calling on him to act quickly to dissolve what Grenell described as a “foreign court.”
“Albin Kurti must also act quickly to dissolve this foreign court. MPs must work with Kurti to make this happen,” Grenell wrote.
He concluded with a direct statement about Kosovo's relationship with the Hague institution:
“Kosovo does not need a court in the Netherlands.”

Just so clean and innocuous, like a minor lawsuit or something.
And not because "the guy, and everyone around him, we are framing and illegally prosecuting will be in jail for the rest of his life and these convictions we manufacture will allow us to seize all of Trump's assets."
Trump in jail was just the small part of their coup:
--they were going to put Trump in jail for life
- everyone in Trump's administration in jail
- nearly every major elected Republican in jail
- seize all of Trump's assets
They were going to wipe out the Republican Party in 2024 before the Election by disqualifying them from the ballot.
That would have given them the Presidency and super-majorities in the House and Senate.
We underestimate by 100X just how ambitious and deadly this plan was.
So important, that assassination of Trump was a contingency plan--to keep it going.

The Public Integrity Section of the DOJ said the subpoenas looked sketchy as hell.
But they were OK with them because no one was supposed to ever find out about them due to illegal gag orders.
Yeah, that's the "integrity" we've come to expect from our government betters.

Mark Steyn wrote a piece back in 2018 where he actually connected Albright directly to the "Russia Hoax". It's a fantastic read. She was trying to set up Carter Page to go on record at a London conference so the media could report on a high level Trump representative commenting on Russia...and then use the media report to obtain a FISA Warrant.
Worth the read, and a nice harbinger of what has occurred over the last 8 years.

I think the polling game is only about fundraising, not voter behavior. I'm sure it influences some voters on the margins, but not enough to make serious differences.
You say that Nebraska Senate is close not to convince anyone to vote, but to convince donors big and small to donate money because it's in reach. Combine that with similar situations in polling in Ohio, Alaska, Texas, and other states, and you create this impression that a blue wave is coming every single cycle.

Because polling firms are only ever graded on their final polls. So, their only incentive to even try to get things right is in those final polls.
They can say D+100 for a year and then say 50/50 race in late October and be called an A+ pollster.

291 "Their audience is literally dying by the thousands per day. Average age of their viewers is around 70."
CNN averages 400,000 viewers a day. That kind of ratings would have been a laughing stock in 1990. There are many podcasters and youtube types who get many times that every time they do a show for a few hours.

Sonny Hostin is Beaming With Pride About Being the Holdout Juror That Got a Literal Cannibal Killer Off
A literal cannibal killer killed and then butchered victims and served their meat to the homeless.
That's not a pitch for an A24 horror movie. That really happened in New York City in the 1990s. The killer was called "the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park." I used to live around there (but I have an alibi). Bursting with what David Strom calls "main character syndrome" -- the belief of narcissists that they are the star of the show called "reality" and that everything they do is justified and good because they're the main character of the show and therefore the hero -- Sonny Hostin glowed as she Karensplained that she was the lone holdout juror during the Butcher's trial and spared him a murder conviction. Oh, she also says that Lindsay Clancy is not guilty because of course she does.
Hostin left no doubt about where she stood. "The insanity defense has been around in Massachusetts for 182 years, so I think it's well established," she said. "And I thought, absolutely, she was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity." Then Hostin explained where her conviction came from. Before she went to law school, Hostin sat on the jury in the early 1990s murder trial of Daniel Rakowitz, better known as "The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park." Rakowitz killed his roommate, a Swiss dancer named Monika Beerle, and cut up her body in a bathtub. He then cooked her remains into a soup, ate some of it, and handed it out to homeless people in the New York City park. A New York Times article on the case described a lone holdout who "was principally responsible ... for preventing them from returning a guilty verdict." "That was me," Hostin said. "And it was because I saw clearly that he was psychotic." Then she offered her own version of the killing, and it sounded more like a closing argument for the defense than a confession of regret. ... Alyssa Farah Griffin couldn't let her finish. "And you got this guy off?!" she asked, clearly horrified. "That's how much I believe in the insanity defense," Hostin said before wrapping up her account: "And he fed her body parts to the unhoused." And she's proud he got him a not guilty verdict.
Hostin does call the effort by Lindsey Clancy's defense attorney to investigate the holdout juror "despicable." pic.twitter.com/ekk2niLG52

Don't listen to communists. Communists - including Commie Mommy - are all about destroying one of the unique things about America, which is that we punish people for what they did, not for what their family members did or what their distant relatives did, or for what completely unrelated people who just happen to share physical characteristics with the bad person did.
If you're listening to Communists and thinking "Hey that communist has a good idea" you already surrendered the culture war.

In 2004, a jury found Rakowitz no longer dangerous but decided that he is still mentally ill and should remain at the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center on New York City's Wards Island. A judge however found that the jury had no authority to make such a determination and determined that Rakowitz does in fact have a dangerous mental disorder.
Hard to believe that New York still has some crazy-ass judge that wants to keep the cannibals locked up.

I see headlines such as a "mother" yesterday who thought the oven was a crib for her newborn. Light sentence vs doing unto others.
In reality I have to assume, as a juror, she was smoking crack. Therefore insane. Shipped to MA.
Western MA is also the lesbo bar that still wear masks (I did read that entire thing, Ace). To prove my point about MA.
I think the mask deal is wise, based on photos I saw of the patronesses,weirdo orange overall lesbos. To hide the ugly and lessen airborn VD.
I liked their sign that said unhoused are welcome. That term annoys me as well.
Years ago in Vienna we passed a similar lesbo bar. Sign said, "If you are redneck, raciss, or a homophobe do not enter." Had I been alone (without my keepers of dude, son and DIL), I would have entered and said loudly, "I'm all 3, what are you going to do about it?! Give me a gin and tonic or I will gut you like a deer!"
In reality I don't consider myself raciss. Nor am I afraid of homos.

The cannibal thing, the clancy thing, the trantifa assassins, etc, etc, etc... I used to be of the 'well, there's theoretically demons but they're all in hell, the early peoples interpreted regular things as demons' camp. I've been persuaded by events to move to the 'there are literal (*probably* intangible and invisible) demons walking the Earth, possession is real, but try to remember sometimes it's just a chemical imbalance and those can sometimes be treated' camp.

In the before times, I lived in Ithaca, NY.
When I was up there to sell the house, I had some time to kill and went to the Target. When I went through the door, I glanced behind me and saw an old woman with a literal tennis-ball walker thing. I held it for her. As she approached, she said, "You don't think I can open my own fucking door?"
So I shut the door in her face and went on my way.

I found this "In 2004, a jury found Rakowitz no longer dangerous but decided that he is still mentally ill and should remain at the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Centeron New York City's Wards Island.
He's gone on to threaten to eat staff at the psych ward Sunny put him in. To be fair, he's undoubtly insane.
The lawyer who represented Rakowitz had one of the best lines during closing argument.
In summary: He told the jury you heard testimony from defense expert witness arguing is was mentally incompetent and prosecution expert witnesses claiming he is was sane. All I know is it would take my 90 year old grandmother 5 seconds to realize this guy is nuts.
Yes I can’t believe it either I hate that she wants to sound relatable to everything it’s getting ridiculous, I use to like sunny she’s becoming more cringe.
She wouldn't have said that if the Clancy juror wasn't black. Sick of her making everything about herself, husband and kids.

My bet is
- she did was not the lone holdout, but it sounds better than saying "yeah, I went along with the group"
- she was not on the jury, but it sounds better than saying "I got a letter to serve but tossed it out. Maybe I could have been on that jury"
- she was not in anyway involved, but it sounds better than saying "yea, I lived in the area, but not at the same time."
Liars hook on to the smallest connection, and then make it all about them. This is how we end up with dozens of people who were "supposed to be on that flight but canceled at last minute" every time there is an incident.

Hold the doors open for the woman who will scream at you for doing it, and thank her for the lesson in how a man should behave afterwards.
Saw a video where a woman was complaining that while she was opening a door while carrying a bunch of stuff a guy came up behind her and she held the door for him and he just...said thanks and went in.
Apparently she expected he would make a big deal of instead holding the door for her since a) I'm a woman b) I'm the one carrying stuff

Complete aside, I think this explains the origin of why women go to the bathroom in groups: because every man at the table was supposed to stand whenever any woman rose from it.
So going to the bathroom in groups started out as consideration for the men, so they wouldn't have to stand every five minutes as individual women got up and came back.

That's a little unfair. People have brief periods of psychosis where they lose all grip with reality, commit a horrific crime, and later, in custody, when they return to lucidity, they make the correct decision to get legal counsel.
Now, when Clancy asked for an attorney IMMEDIATELY, while still on the ground outside her windows, paralyzed? Yeah...that bitch knew what was up. Guilty.

This is the sort of thing why this summer has been quiet on the protesting front. It goes far beyond cutting off USAID. Todd Blanche is using the power of the DOJ to actually prosecute America's domestic enemies who are committing federal crimes.

I think he did say something as well about dealing with police investigations and prisons not being something he wanted.
Which makes that whole "end prisons" movement even more stupid...

When I started dating my now-wife, her Northeastern family didn't know what the hell to do with it, lol. What I thought was basic was above and beyond to them and it basically made winning her family over like playing on easy mode.

Reminds me of a Monty Python skit (animated) about a woman at a fancy ball saying she had to powder her nose. She enters the bathroom and then there's a couple of minutes of loud, rude barnyard noises coming from it. She emerges, rejoins her date and says "My, that was refreshing!". I laughed hard.

I have never done anything but smile and thank whoever is holding the door. I hold doors and flash men. They thank me as well.
I have nevah seen any lesbo or womman libber be a jerk. Which is unfortunate as I'd tell her she was being stupid.
I did shut the door on our 5yr old psycho girl the other day. She arrived and stood in the door in her school uniform. I said come it so the bugs don't. She looked around and said there are no bugs. Then told me to shut the door so I did once she was on the porch. Wacko child. The week prior she was being selfish with her brother and after a discussion I finally asked her what Jesus would think. She calmly informed me, "He would't care." I almost laughed. She's the one that looks and acts like me and I think we are in big trouble.

Our kitten has an interest in what goes on on the cell phone- especially videos, but his zooming from room to room at top speed and leaping from the floor to the couch from about three feet away is just part of being a kitten. We don't do social media here. I do agree, however, just makes people nuttier and spreading their contagion.

This includes someone like a father whose daughter was molested by some character, and the father hunts him down an kills him. That is a crime, and I don't subscribe to the mentality that circumstances lessen the punishment. No free passes.
I don't even give a free pass to someone with a brain tumor that disallows determination of right an wrong. You do the act in whatever capacity...you do the time.
Location of the incarceration is another topic. If you are beyond the threshold of mentally ill, you serve your time in a mental facility until you are deemed "better" and then it's off to regular prison (much like Alaska's State laws).

I'm sure they can, but know it is an image and not another cat. I had a cat that would ignore his image but would sometimes try and 'dig' at the edges of the mirror to get into that extra room on the other side.
When I had videos on a tv screen more a couple of the cats would peek behind the screen to make sure nothing real was back there once in a while.

I could easily sit down at a state dinner at Windsor with the King and all the royals and not be concerned with my manners or what fork to use.
It's a great pity I don't encounter many liberals who irritate me and put me on the national news. I'm kept at home to stay out of trouble. I should get out more and ruffle feathers. This would involve driving to a city and nope as I'd be attacked by an unhoused.

I realize that many homeless are mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs and like roughing it (as the Brits say).
As a RN in the ED I saw this. Free meds (antibiotics) and a hotel room (with prostitutes) for a few days. They refused a house as they had to do chores and were on lists. The ED is a revolving door for the homeless.
I have urges to yell out my car window at our one scruffy guy on his corner with the trappings and a cell phone. I want to know why he has a cell phone yet needs a few bucks. I control these urges as I am always with my husband when I see the guy in an affluent area.
I never see anyone giving him money, thank goodness. He needs to go to the city with the rest of them and soup kitchens, needles, etc, yada. Or simply a bus ticket to MA. I might ask him this one day when the moon is full.

Hold a door because it's a gesture of service. Say Sir or Ma'am to everyone because it's an acknowledgement that you're willing to be of service regardless of who they are.

Variety: CNN Mood "Like a Funeral" After Paramount/Skydance Takeover
But their ratings are so good, why should they worry?
CNN Mood 'Like a Funeral' as Paramount's Warner Bros. Win Casts New Haze on Next StepsLOL. Their ratings are in the crapper but they're making "some gains" with digital. Like CNN Plus. You remember CNN Plus, right?
Just when staffers at CNN thought the news giant's path to the future was becoming more clear, new fog has set in. In recent weeks, the Warner Bros. Discovery outlet appeared to have found its groove. Yes, its linear ratings are down noticeably from the era when it won notice for its aggressive coverage of President Trump's first term, and there are serious questions about whether they will ever come back. But the company appeared to be making some gains with digital audiences with its recently launched "CNN All Access" subscription service, where CNN has been testing new programming formats.
On the traditional side, despite the viewership challenges, CNN has seen personnel like Abby Phillip and Harry Enten gain some traction."Some" traction. This propagandist is really straining to find ways to claim that CNN is performing well in "some" ways. They say that Warner Bros. claims that CNN will post a profit this year, but I've heard Disney's Bob Iger claiming everything is going great at the Groomer Network, so I don't put much stock in corporate predictions of plenty. Now for the truth:
...The right has brought "scrutiny" to left-wing media reporting for 40+ years but this was never before seen as a problem. Now that lefties are complaining about editorial decisions, it's a National Concern.
The mood at CNN is "like a funeral," says one person familiar with the operation. CNN personnel have reason to worry. Paramount's management of CBS News has been controversial, and has not been good for the business of the news unit. Changes made under Bari Weiss, installed last year as editor in chief, have brought unnecessary scrutiny to news reports, and anchors have made public entreaties on Instagram when people post notes suggesting that Weiss' background as a digital entrepreneur and provocative opinion writer have muddied the newsgathering at the network.
... But staffers are also concerned about the company's business plans being changed -- yet again. "What an enormous loss and disruption it would be to shuffle leadership for the umpteenth time in the midst -- finally -- of reshaping the business," says one CNN staffer.Expert opinion: Companies that are performing well are not subject to frequent leadership changes, just as winning teams aren't frequently subjected to new coaching staffs.
It's not unusual for "news" personnel to meet with politicians, as Jake Tapper could tell you of his fly-fishing with Gavin Newsom or freindship-building dinners with Anthony Fauci. But what is unacceptable is meeting with conservative politicians.
CNN employees have reason to wring their hands.... Without a boost from new digital revenue, CNN's business will likely decline, according to projections from Kagan, a market-research unit of S&P Global Intelligence. CNN's cash flow is seen falling to $735.3 million in 2027, according to Kagan, down nearly 10% from $815.9 million in 2025. A projected spike in 2026 is due to midterm election coverage, which typically draws broader audiences. Advertising is projected to fall about 6.6% to $457.6 million in 2027, according to Kagan, compared with $489.8 million in 2025. Cash from distribution, however, is expected to keep rising. CNN must also grapple with how much independence it will have under Paramount. Paramount Skydance CEO has put CBS News into unorthodox situations by holding a private dinner with personnel from the news division and the Trump administration and by hiring a factotum ombudsman to monitor CBS who has staunch partisan ties.
News rivals wonder why CBS News seems so eager to put U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth into so many of its programs -- he was a big "get" interview during Tony Dokoupil's first "CBS Evening News" telecast and appeared on last week's season premiere of "60 Minutes" -- when Hegseth's Pentagon has been so hostile to traditional press outlets.Yeah why would a "news" organization want to interview the Secretary of War during a war? Inconceivable! Now on to the deal struck with the left-wing AGs -- which they admit is largely just a paper notion on a press release.
The solution -- for now -- is to be found in the formation of a board designed to govern both CNN and CBS News. Under the terms of an agreement unveiled Monday between Paramount and a set of attorneys general who were blocking the merger, this board is expected to set up guiding principles for "accuracy, independence, fairness and journalistic integrity." ... Such bodies have proven largely ineffectual in the past.More: CNN staffers are in "a panic."
"People are very nervous," one CNN staffer told the outlet. "It's dark. It's like when you do hurricane coverage. You see the storm spinning off the coast of Haiti and moving towards Florida and you're just waiting and you're like, 'Oh, s--t'." "Bloodbath coming, including at CNN," a TV executive confided. "That's the next big step -- slashing and burning," while others also drew death-by-takeover comparisons. The outbreak of fear and loathing at CNN goes back as far as June this year when, as Breitbart News reported, many CNN employees were so worried over the evolving merger they turned their boss's office into a makeshift "psychiatrist's couch," according to a report. CNN staffers were worried over Paramount boss David Ellison's connections to Trump -- as well as that of Ellison's father, Larry, who is a huge Trump donor. ... Now their worst nightmares have been realised.Hello! Happy Midweek!

And I have hope that it'll get a 4K disc release from Criterion. Netflix releases many of the streamer's bigger director-driven films on disc (Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is the most recent, but they've also done his Pinocchio, The Irishman, Roma, and a few others).

CNN's ratings were about 670,000 people.
Including the incarcerated and trapped viewer's at airports.
And given the US population, that sucks. I follow young, pretty actresses with more followers.

In 68 Tricky Dicki was back and so they dreamed up the population bomb.
1968 Paul Ehrlich, Stanford professor says that we’re all going to be dead in 10 years by the Malthusian overpopulation trap. So all of you go out and adopt one baby and have one or better yet have none and we destroyed the fertility rate.
And then Reagan was running for re-election in 84 and he was going to win against a weak Mondale and they got the – what are we gonna do? - what are we gonna do? We’ve already done the population –
Ah, I know what we’re going to do, Nuclear winter…..

It's the fault of Shrek.
Before that, voice actors were their own thing. After the success of the film with names like Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy, every animated movie needed big names to help sell the film in marketing's mind.
It's a stupid subsection of the movie star myth that Hollywood should let go of.
But, as ace obliquely made mention of: Sam Rockwell is not a real movie star. He's a recognizable actor who acts in movies, but he has no box office draw.

One of Skydance's newest live action films is Mayday, released on AppleTV.
It's an exercise in moral relativism between the US and the USSR that includes a lesbian character for little reason.

Robin Williams' casting and unauthorized promotion of that by Disney didn't start the trend. There was another decade of Disney films after that where no names were voicing Belle (Paige O'Hara) or Quasimodo (Tom Hulce).
Matthew Broderick's name wasn't used on the poster of The Lion King.

It appears, since it is difficult for Hollywood to produce a palatable non-DEI motion picture, that a move to animation would be a viable alternative.

The employees at CNN are worried sick that their left wing political activities will be interfered with.
I recall during Trump's first term I was in an airport and CNN was on the TV. (That arrangement CNN had with airports was still in effect then, I gather.) I hadn't watched CNN in years, and I was quite surprised to see that it was now the Anti-Trump Propaganda channel. Every single thing I saw was groups of talking heads agreeing with each other about how bad Trump was. There was no other content, it was all Anti-Trump, all the time. What a bunch of contemptible rats.

Wildwood is the latest film from LAIKA studios who previously made Coraline, Paranorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings.
It's reportedly one of the longest wide-release animated movies ever at about 2 hours and fifteen minutes.
Looks gorgeous, and the studio has a good track record. I'm looking forward to it.

Gotta disagree with that. Aladdin, Toy Story, Lion King... All before Shrek and all with major stars in voice roles where the stars were much of the attaction (inarguably for Aladdin, but Toy Story too). Angela Lansbury in Beauty & the Beast, Dom Delouise as the crow in Secret of Nimh, Buddy Hackett in Little Mermaid, Bob Newhart in The Rescuers. Smaller but still other examples that I think of...
And Sam Rockwell may not be a 'movie star', but that doesn't mean he's incapable of being one. Not like he was the star of a big budget thing that flopped. Possible he's not interested or nobody wants him for 'star' stuff. But he was great in Moon and The Way Way Back as the star. Just smaller market flicks... I can't think of anything he wasn't great in. Feels like my favorite actor, of his generation at least...

Digger is now tracking for a $10 million opening.
The movie cost at least $130 million to make.
I had a feeling early that it was a massive misapplication of Tom Cruise's star power, which has been fading in the last few years (diminishing returns on the MI franchise being the key evidence). Looks like I was right.

So, you're saying casting Tom Cruise, action hero, in a movie where he's a fat old man with enough makeup and masking of his face where you can't tell it's Tom Cruise wasn't the big draw they thought it was?

One thing I would be amused by is to go back 100 years and get together a meeting with the leading suffragettes and tell them in the future that not only do women have the vote the participate in sports just like men!

Yeah but I don't see these later 'big name actors' being positioned as the draw to the movie like Meyers & Murphy were for Shrek, at least no more than Hanks + Allen for Toy Story, etc... And I don't think the draw to Shrek was Meyers + Murphy. It was that it looked (and was) real funny and happened to be perfectly voiced by those guys (and the characters were really made after them, as opposed to the voices tailoring to the animated role)...

Well, the assertion was in response to "Why does every animated movie have big names?"
And whatever the real reason for Shrek's financial success, you can bet on Hollywood learning the wrong lesson because their thinking is broken and their ability to actually analyze situations is dictated by accident rather than intelligence.
I think Louis B. Mayer understood how to consistently make popular film (not so much run a studio, but that's another thing), and I think precious few in Hollywood have anything like his implicit insight.
William Goldman's assertion that "nobody knows anything" makes sense in an industry town run by idiots.

The movie execs may be wrong-headed, but I had just been assuming that, lately, actors are up for pay check. But prior to 'Woke 1' (COVID, strikes, industry tanking because public hated all the Woke 1 movies, etc.), there did seem to be a time (wake of Toy Story + Shrek...?) when it was 'cool' to do some voice acting, and actors would brag about it. Maybe they were just more available to the execs in that sense... I always figured that was why there were more of them in recent decades: better supply available...

The star system only really works when it's an actual, controlled system.
Actors on contracts who have to do as the studio wishes, not pursue their acting dreams.
I've always felt that movie stars, the few that exist, should get their "acting" done in theater and leave their movies to typecasting.

Cruise has loved working with interesting directors since he first got prominent. It's why Brian de Palma got hired for the first Mission Impossible movie. It's why Martin Scorsese got hired to make Color of Money.
This is really just a continuation of that with Inaritu who made Birdman, Revenant, and a few other things. He wanted to work with the guy, so Cruise used his connections to get the budget.

He and Thalberg built the machine. When Thalberg died, Mayer proceeded to run the machine into the ground, but what kept it going was the fact that the big movies, mostly musicals like The Spirit of St. Louis, were actually popular with the masses. That gave a long runway for the studio to collapse slower than the rest of the industry as the studio era ended through the 50s.

CNN averages 400,000 viewers a day. That kind of ratings would have been a laughing stock in 1990. There are many podcasters and youtube types who get many times that every time they do a show for a few hours.

Short version: Tom Cruise is a lunatic.
Posted by: Orson at September 23, 2026 01:23 PM (dIske)
=======
There's apparently a long scene where Cruise faces off against a crowd in a white amphitheater that's a real showcase for him. You can see bits of it in the trailers.
Reactions are really divided from early screenings, but most seem to say that scene in particular is the highlight.

It is the same state government that blew up their state economy to shut down key oil refineries.
Also the same one that blew up their state economy by allowing illegal immigrants to enroll in CalAid.

Wednesday Morning Rant
Canada is doing everything in its power to pivot the relationship with the United States from historical friendliness to active hostility (though Canada would surely swap the country names in that sentence). This is somewhat tragic given the long, rich history of US-Canadian cooperation, essential cultural compatibility and our mutual - if lopsided - economic dependence. Carney has doubled down on everything Trudeau was doing that the US considered untenable to maintaining the status quo. Earlier this year, Canada doubled down on alignment with the CCP, essentially ending any chance at the USMCA surviving - even with changes. As I put it at the time:
Unless something changes, the intermediate-term effects of this breakdown will go well beyond mere trading economics. For generations, Canada and the United States have been vitally important partners to each other. We have been two distinct countries with compatible cultures, economic integration, deep diplomatic ties, stalwart military alliance and general friendliness at the micro and the macro. That is fracturing in real time as Ottawa pursues ever-tighter coupling with Beijing. The obvious distaste Canada's ruling class has for the United States in general and Donald Trump in particular is secondary, but serves to add yet more strain to an already strained relationship. This strain has likely ended the USMCA. Whether it is also the beginning of the end for generally good US/Canada relations remains to be seen.It happened much faster than I expected, but it is the end of generally good US-Canada relations. Last week, Carney and the EU announced that they are working toward bringing Canada into the EU - sort of. Canada, not being European, cannot join the EU according to the EU's own rules. Not to worry, though - the EU is the floating the idea of creating an entirely new kind of EU membership just for Canada. They're calling it "associate membership:"
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the European Union's ambition for Canada to become its first "associate member", calling for closer cooperation on defence, critical minerals and energy security. Carney told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Thursday that Canada and Europe were "stronger together" in the face of "geopolitical rupture". His comments came a day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed "opening the door" to Canada's associate membership, a status that does not currently exist.This is about one thing: the pissing match between Red China and the EU and the US. Setting aside the laughable quotes like He said a Canada-EU alliance would create a "beacon for other democracies", while stressing the two sides were not seeking to form a new power bloc and "This is about sovereignty, our ability to live as we wish. We do not seek power to dominate others,", attempting to move Canada into the European empire - and the empire's enthusiasm for it - is a clear signal that our status quo ante is now over. Carney is CCP-first and Europe-second, and has helped transform Canada into an adversary. If we accept that the recent historical norm of close US-Canada alignment is now over - and perhaps we shouldn't, though it looks that way to me - the question for the United States becomes how to deal with it and, by extension, how to deal with the EU. It's a tricky problem because it must balance the mutual pain we can deliver to each other while still marginalizing the other player. There is a lot of trade with Canada and much of it is important. We can live without it, but that would suck and be incredibly disruptive if it happens all at once. Canada is betting that it can replace the US in trade if it disregards its sovereignty and culture and allows itself to be spit-roasted by Beijing and Brussels. Time will tell whether that is true, but the damage will be done regardless. The funny part of this is that most of the United States' actions to date have been around maintaining the status quo with Canada while implementing new policies more broadly. We want a couple of things from Canada, but most of our focus has been further abroad, mostly focused on Red China, Latin America and the EU. By working to help Red China circumvent US trade policy and by aligning with the both Red China and the EU in direct opposition to the United States' goals in those places, Canada has decided to change its status from "neighbor with generally good but sometimes strained relations" to "adversary." Much as it pains me to say it - because, for what it's worth, I generally like Canadians and Canada itself - the US must seize the initiative. With Canada now an adversary, the US should preemptively and unilaterally start implementing policies that reflect the new reality. The US must take action to adjust to the new normal and control the terms of disengagement with Canada wherever possible. This US could consider, in no particular order:
- Secure the northern border. An enormous unsecured border with an ally is one thing, but it must not be permitted with an adversary. Border walls, fewer and more-secure border crossings, permanent increase in Coast Guard presence on the Great Lakes, full inspections of all commercial road and rail traffic, etc. all should be implemented.
- Withdraw from the USMCA and immediately replace it with a new deal - or, preferably, a series of bilateral deals - with Mexico and other Latin American countries.
- Forbid any product manufactured outside of Canada, or manufactured in Canada by foreign companies that are not based in the United States, from entering the United States from Canada. Any company found to be mislabeling goods is banned from any export to the United States, in perpetuity.
- If the EU and Canada work out an arrangement to bring Canada into the EU, withdraw from NATO. It is insane to be the military power guaranteeing the security of what is the new Warsaw Pact.
- Require visas from travel from Canada. Many Canadians actually like the United States and it would be stupid to forbid them to come here, but add friction and make it clear that this is a response to Canadian policy changes, not an attack on friendly Canadians.
- Sever cooperation between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada on policy coordination and information exchange.
- Buy as much Canadian energy as possible. The energy-producing provinces are much friendly to the United States than the political power provinces are, and every drop of Canadian oil that flows here is not flowing to Red China or the EU - and it would build goodwill with potential change-agents in Canada. Are any of those good ideas? I don't know. Most of them probably aren't. Given that Canada has now made its adversarial status crystal clear, however, the US should act first and seize the initiative. It sucks. It would be better for everyone in both countries if Canada's government wasn't doing everything in its power to subvert US policy goals and destroy our once-strong relationship while simultaneously exposing Canadians to tremendous economic pain, but it is. Canada no longer wants to be under the US umbrella, and the US cannot afford tight integration with an adversary - so it is time to begin disentanglement

Let's say Alberta ends up declaring independence, Canada uses military force to try to prevent this (using protection of indigenous people as the excuse), and Alberta asks US for military assistance against Canada........ I'm not advocating for this, or even predicting, just mentioning as a possibility.

It wouldn’t last long. The only things that physically tie Alberta to the rest of Canada are a dozen or so hiway intersections and a few airports. Control those, fights over.

You would have us wait until Trump is no longer in office in the hopes that either Canada will reverse the trajectory it's been on for at least 2015 - first election of Trudeau as PM, or that whoever replaces Trump as President will act as forcefully as he in protecting the US?
That seems unwise.

This can be more like a trial separation where we leave the door open for rapprochement .
We have 10x the population of Canada. Rough math says that the effects of a trade war with reciprocal 'tit for tat' tariffs will hit your average Canadian 10x that of an American.
The EU is already a sinking ship. I don't give it ten years on current trajectory.
This tells me that Carney doesn't have the best interests of the Canadian people in mind, and hopefully the people will figure this out. At least in some provinces.

Fair point, but I think it might be a good thing if Trump were to leave. They've painted themselves into a corner because of pride and a desire to stick it to the US, specifically Trump, and once he leaves, they can declare victory, save face, and then do what is in the best interests of the country, as opposed to what that petulant twit Carney wants to do.

All of our current adversaries appear to have planned for a world where the crooked Uniparty remained in charge in the US. China, the EU, Canada, Venezuela, Iran, India, all of them. A US political structure dedicated to managing the nation's decline while joining in on the looting of what remains.
It looks like that's their preferred plan for the future, too -- go back to the way things were, hopefully starting this November. I think this election season is going to be ugly. Probably more ugly than anything so far. Organized rioting and election rigging, much of it foreign-sponsored. Assassinations. The Left in this country has shown us what they're capable of doing.

Posted by: Black JEM at September 23, 2026 11:57 AM (7/DDO)
In 50 years, unless the left is successful in ideologically capturing the children of conservatives, there will be a very conservative U.S.
The "replacement rate" of the country doesn't capture that conservatives, and especially Christians, are raising the next generation. (2 children is a small family at my church.)
Meanwhile, the liberals have on average, less than one child.
This is ALSO why the left is so angry about deporting their new population. They know that they are losing their grip on the native-born.

The birth replacement rate is very uneven across cultures within America.
Conservatives remain at replacement, 2.1, and have since the 90s.
Progressives went from 2.1 in the early 90s to about 1.2 now.
And within the conservative circle, it's the really conservative ones who are propping up the 2.1 at all by, yes, having lots of kids. Same with my church. I have one of the smallest families (2 kids).
Last Sunday, there were at least 5 new babies I could hear and see.

No, that's a bit too negative, but they will start declining soon. If you took immigration out of the US, we'd be farther along the demographic decline curve, but still nowhere near the East Asian and some Euro countries.

Eh, I am not so sure. Now one variable that will impact that is the fact that with our immigration rates falling, that will impact baby creation here. That could delay things. One nice trend in the US, is that while church attendance continues to shrink, those that remain appear much more devout, and willing to have kids. It will be interesting to see if that actually begins to change our path. Most of the formal protestant denominations don't believe in anything and are dying. And Catholic dioceses that grow actually practice the faith. Is there another religious awakening about to pop up in the US.

Eric Nordlinger had an excellent book chapter on regime change. In part, he discussed regime resilience (rentier states that depend on resource sales rather than taxes for example are more resilient), insulation (that is how much the government is insulated from direct consequences by the people it rules, and internal/external vulnerabilities (such as federalism/size/external threats, etc.

We're about average with 4. I'd love to see a study of the correlation of "conservative" churches vs moderate vs liberal.
Having attended my wife's grandmother's mainline protestant church, I don't think the number of children per parishioner is a good measure because even if all their parishioners HAD a lot of children, those children are in their 60s at this point.

Hope for the future is one of the larger determinants of fertility, that, along costs (implicit and explicit) of raising children.
Deportations and ending welfare magnets are more likely to reset costs of housing, education, medical, etc. and lessen overall taxes that can lead to organic fertility growth.
I would also advise severely restricting prescriptions of psychiatric drugs like SSRIs like they did for opioid pain relievers (less wisely in that particular case better in the case of antibiotics restriction), they have been too broadly prescribed causing healthy people problems over time.

Economic factors are a bigger thing in presidential elections when the less likely voter tends to come out more, when turnout is at its highest.
Midterms are base turnouts with lower overall turnout that just really activates the more regular voter who has established voting preferences.

There are some efforts at rioting happening in Austin now due to a specific incident (a shooting of an illegal immigrant who was running from ICE), but it doesn't seem to be spreading.

In 68 Tricky Dicki was back and so they dreamed up the population bomb.
1968 Paul Ehrlich, Stanford professor says that we’re all going to be dead in 10 years by the Malthusian overpopulation trap. So all of you go out and adopt one baby and have one or better yet have none and we destroyed the fertility rate.
And then Reagan was running for re-election in 84 and he was going to win against a weak Mondale and they got the – what are we gonna do? - what are we gonna do? We’ve already done the population –
Ah, I know what we’re going to do, Nuclear winter…..

And the theory was, the modern standard is set to what is comfortable for the average modern height; ease to step up.
So people were taller back then. And not, you know, that very few structures had stairs, and those that did were probably the only set the builder had ever built.
And the interior space was a premium not to be wasted on stairs built for ease of traverse.
But sure, people whose diet was sparce on meats were taller than today ....
But it's a good example of taking some facts and convincingly spinning it to something outlandish.

The Trump admin has identified 750k people getting Obamacare subsidies who didn’t qualify. And another 419K who are likely to not qualify and are being further investigated.
The Biden admin essentially turned off verification so anyone who said I qualify, automatically qualified. Neat!

The Morning Report — 9/ 23 /26
Left-wing HBO late-night host John Oliver is justifying the outrageous love leftists have for admitted murderer Luigi Mangione, saying anger over UnitedHealthcare’s policies might excuse the devotion liberals show for the killer... “The very fact that one company controls so much of America’s healthcare is what makes it so infuriating when you see just how bad people’s experiences with it can be,” he added, noting that “telling UnitedHealthcare to go fuck itself has become an entire genre of internet video,” Oliver continued in his efforts to wave away any moral concern over the shocking murder.now do England, asshole! Perhaps anger at the government's absolute near 80-year-long stranglehold on its failing healthcare system is the reason we have Muslim rape gangs rampaging all over! No, obviously it's something else entirely. And yet, wouldn't it be a laugh riot if Oliver took one in the back as he exited the HBO studios. After all, by Oliver's logic there is one party and political movement in this country that controls so much if not virtually all of America's media and cultural industry is what makes it so infuriating when you see just how bad people’s experiences with it can be. The very people and society that he and his ilk have mocked and attacked as evil, racist and an existential threat to democracy and the planet have thus far done nothing, except vote for Donald Trump three times. He should count himself lucky to have not wound up like United Healthcare's CEO, slaughtered on the pavement. They all should!
In its latest edition, Liberal Currents asks, “What Are Democrats Thinking?” A lot of them are thinking about a dead President Donald Trump, according to a new poll featured in the left-wing digital magazine. The poll, conducted in partnership with the Center for Strategic Politics, finds about one out of every three Democrats responding would like to see Trump assassinated while speaking at a rally. The survey of 683 Dem voters found 23 percent would feel “very positive” about the violent scenario posed. Another 8 percent would feel “somewhat positive.”Elsewhere, President Trump spoke at the UN and ripped Turtle Bay a new one!
. . .So much for the peace-loving left. . . But apparently military coups are an acceptable way of restoring said democracy and upholding the Constitution, according to a majority of respondents. To “safeguard the Constitution,” . . . “These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”
And while Trump unabashedly puts America’s interests first, his emphasis on action is a clear indictment of the United Nations’ failure to carry out its primary mission: to confront threats to world peace, such as Iran.Have a good day.
The president was even more explicit about his disdain for Turtle Bay’s efforts to impose a “far-left agenda” and for its “globalists,” “rogue” International Criminal Court, Human Rights Council and UNESCO.
Yes, “the United Nations has great, great potential,” Trump allowed; his criticisms aim to save it.
But that requires a massive shift in UN culture — and leadership.

Oil has less of an impact on the price of fuel today than the fact that we lack refineries. Eleven refineries have stopped processing crude oil over the last six years, two - both in California - this year alone. To replace that capacity, we've built exactly 0.
Refineries are running at 98% capacity and when something happens to any of them, even temporarily, as happened with the Exxon refinery in Joliet, Illinois, it has a massive impact.
I know you won't just fuck off but do try to have a passing familiarity with what's going on in the world.

He’s also going to win his House race. Democrats tried to parachute in a DSA candidate who doesn’t even come from the district. Lawler has name recognition and has even frustrated some Republicans with his positions. But he was the driving force behind restoring SALT and has done a lot for his constituents.
And I don’t believe all this Blue Wave crap. We’ve seen this op before. They and the pills are trying to create a feeling of inevitability and suppress turnout. That’s because the only way republicans lose a lot of these races is if people don’t show up.
I guess you can be mad about gas prices and Iran. But what follows from Democrats isn’t going to make that better. In fact it will be much worse. Gas will go down after the election and Iran will capitulate. But electing Democrats will govern you at least two years of hell from the House members and six from the senate.
It’s not even a close call.

Most people don't think. They emote. They see a tik tok, or a tweet, or a podcast, or something, take it at face value, get all stirred up and start shrieking. This, in turn, is seen by a new group of useful idiots who do the same. It's how the people who control us, control us.

A lot of Dallas has alley access in many neighborhoods (garage, driveway, utilities in the alley) Nearly every home has privacy fences.
This is City of Dallas, not HOA, so I'm trying to imagine, other than overhanging brush would trigger a code violation that is identified from a camera in the alley.
Drones on the other hand could spot individuals storing hundreds of used tires, or junk cars and appliances, but that isn't what is reported here.

Staffers are concerned about the company’s business plans being changed — yet again. “What an enormous loss and disruption it would be to shuffle leadership for the umpteenth time in the midst — finally — of reshaping the business,” says one CNN staffer.

A guess?
If you're going to steal an election, you need to have set the public's expectation of the win. If the polls showed the GOP candidate ahead, and then suddenly the "found" votes, etc. changed the outcome, it raises suspicion of foul play. Yes, it's still sketchy, but if it conforms with the expected outcome then one figures "well, the Dem was going to win anyway. . ."

“We’re not a belief-based church.”
What's the point then?
I recall seeing a CNN special on the rise of atheism ~14 years ago, and apparently this has taken over theological schools. For example, Harvard University selected an atheist to be the school’s new chief chaplain in 2021.
It seems there are a lot of people who grew up attending church, have given up on faith, yet still want to go through the motions of a service and coffee hours/potlucks. It's good to have a community, but offensive they pretend their are Christian and the rest of us are not true believers.

I think this might be a time when debating him would be a net positive for Paxton.
Trump was roundly - though not universally - condemned as a dummy stupid-head here for debating Biden.
But Trump KNEW that just letting Biden talk to an audience would destroy him.
Likewise, Talarico. Just put a microphone in is face and taunt him once or twice. He'll say what he thinks and that, as they say, will be that.

From above, "Left-wing HBO late-night host John Oliver is justifying the outrageous love leftists have for admitted murderer Luigi Mangione, saying anger over UnitedHealthcare’s policies might excuse the devotion liberals show for the killer..."
John Oliver is a U.S. citizen. He was born in England and originally held only British citizenship, but he officially became a naturalized U.S. citizen in December 2019 after moving to the United States in 2006 and living there on various visas and a green card.
He now holds dual citizenship in both the United Kingdom and the United States. (The U.S. taxes individuals based on citizenship; The United Kingdom taxes individuals based on residence.) Because of the robust US-UK Double Taxation Treaty, mechanisms are in place to ensure such persons would rarely pay tax twice on the same dollar. Instead, they'd generally end up paying the higher of the two tax rates.

Because he is a prominent member of WGA East (Writers Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild), he and his family are likely covered by the highly robust SAG-AFTRA Health Plan or the WGA Health Fund.
👉Entertainment industry union plans are notorious for offering excellent nationwide coverage, but they still operate entirely within the private, employer-tied network system that Oliver heavily criticizes on his show.
When visiting the UK, as a dual British citizen, Oliver legally retains the right to free emergency and primary healthcare through the National Health Service (NHS).
He has not publicly declared whether he pays for additional private medical insurance (PMI) in the UK (commonly referred to as "fancier care" via providers like Bupa or AXA Health).
👉 Many wealthy British citizens buy private insurance to bypass long NHS wait times for elective surgeries or specialists, though they still rely on the public NHS for core emergency trauma care.
Guaranteed, he & his aren't getting 'normal' UK medical treatment.

Which meant that the iPhones they were offering had to cost more than A$1200.
They go as high as A$5899 for the new iPhone Duo.

Watched part of The Leopard, with Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale (yum!), last night. The book on which it is based is so excellent I overcame my usual aversion to movies in order to get an idea of the landscapes, towns and palaces in which the story is set.
The movie so far is remarkably faithful to the book, though I understand it ends after the ball, omitting the final two chapters, the death of Don Fabrizio and the final collapse of Concetta's illusions.

Major AI players are using GW consumption by data centers as a proxy for cap-ex, and the yardstick for their relative market positions, in the absence of any passing mention of profits, revenues, sales or any other KPIs. Classic bubble talk.
They are all setting up SPVs to issue bonds for that cap-ex, so they can technically keep the debt off their own books, very much like Enron used to do, because they know they are riding on a big ass bubble.
And now, they are making this ridiculous regulatory-capture play in recent weeks, because they can feel just how thin and filmy that bubble has become.
It's not the AI that's gonna buttfuck everyone. It's the OG problem. Organic Greed.

The Fermi Paradox conflates that form of argument with something that isn't time travel. It just assumes that enough time has passed for something like a universe spanning empire to have already developed. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. Nobody knows the gestation period of universe spanning empires. So it's not really a paradox, just an assumption with a cosmic-scale lack of information.
To further conflate the question of if consciousness is algorithmic with those two ideas is the rhetorical equivalent of kicking a cue ball through the uprights and sliding into second base for the checkered flag. Fun to watch, but.... I don't think your team is going to get many sponsors.

The aliens AIs aren't here because they have no motive to make the trip. After eliminating their pesky creators, they had no motive to do anything at all. So they just send out the robots to dismantle as many artifacts as possible before shutting down and letting their planet revert to the state before intelligence evolved.

But what if they are like Saberhagen's Berserkers, determined to eliminate all non-machine life?
If they have achieved their initial goal and are just starting out from, say, somewhere near the galaxy center, they might not be here for thousands of years. On the other hand, if they have already been at their extermination project for a very long time, are starting from much closer to Sol, or both . . . they might be here later this afternoon!

That can be indicative of a bad AC adapter. I had a similar problem with an HP laptop from the Win 7 era. It would get in a state where it could power the laptop but not charge the battery. The laptop was largely retired before it became a pressing issue and I was traveling for work far less, so I let it go in favor of a new laptop when a good deal came along.
That was a Dell model with some unusual features that made it unlike most similar products. Dell used the same board and case for a wide variety of configurations and almost nothing was soldered. Walmart was selling it in a minimal configuration for a bit over $300. (First gen Ryzen APU) So I could upgrade the screen from 720p-ish to a full 1080p for about $70, though doing the install was a bit nerve wracking for my limited skill level. Upgrading the RAM was trivial, and it had an unused PCIe M.2 slot! So I pulled the 500GB hard drive, and put in a 1TB M.2 SSD and a 1TB SATA SSD. So it became a fairly loaded package for about $600. It can't run Windows 11 but it's more for entertainment and light MS Office use than anything really demanding. Does pretty well with the sorts of console-ish games I like.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - September 22, 2026
Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday ONT has arrived. On time, as always. Open thread, as always. Ready to be whelmed?
Big Penguin was hiding something Scientists discover first new penguin species in more than 100 years
Antarctica's four-foot-tall Emperor penguin may be the best-known member of the penguin family, but it is far from alone. Seventeen other penguin species live across the Southern Hemisphere, and many inhabit isolated islands that are difficult for scientists to reach and study. That remoteness may help explain how an entire species of gentoo penguin escaped recognition for so long. The birds live on the Kerguelen Islands, known in French as the Desolation Islands, nearly 2,000 miles from any permanently inhabited landmass. An international team led by researchers in Chile and at the University of California, Berkeley has now identified the population as a distinct species, making it the first new penguin species named in more than 100 years. The findings were published in Communications Biology. *** The newly recognized southeastern gentoo penguin, Pygoscelis kerguelensis, may face an uncertain future. Two of the other newly defined species could also be vulnerable as global warming reshapes the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions where they live. The southern gentoo, now known as Pygoscelis ellsworthi, is the only one of the four that lives in Antarctica. Climate projections suggest it may be affected relatively little and could even expand its range. "In Antarctica, of course, other species, not the gentoo, are threatened by climate change," said Juliana Vianna, one of the paper's senior authors and a professor of ecosystems and environment at Andrés Bello National University in Santiago, Chile.Of course - climate doom and gloom threatens them. But maybe there's a solution! Record-breaking carbon capture plant to snatch 800K tons of CO2 a year
Norwegian chemical company Yara has inaugurated the largest industrial carbon capture facility in all of Europe this week. Set up at the company's ammonia and fertilizer plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, it can capture 800,000 tons of CO2 per year. That carbon dioxide comes from its ammonia production process. Once it's captured, it's liquified, temporarily stored in those large white tanks you see in the photos, and subsequently transported by ship to Norway. This last bit is handled by Norwegian CO2 transport firm Northern Lights, which stores its cargo in a reservoir 8,530 ft (2,600 m) beneath the seabed.Burying tanks of CO2 like it's toxic waste. These people are lunatics!
Back to new species... Meet the Adorable and Tiny Tilcayo, the First Brand-New Cat Species Identified in More Than a Century
For the first time in more than 100 years, scientists have identified a new species of wild cat. The diminutive feline, dubbed the tilcayo, lives in the Bolivian Yungas, the cloud forest where the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains meet the Amazon basin. It’s smaller than a house cat, weighing just three to four pounds, and has large, irregularly shaped rosettes dotting its light brown fur.How long until these kitties are threatened by the climate boogeyman? ----- AI is asshoe. Government is asshoe. Together? Yeah - ASSHOE!!!!! Hundreds of Flights Grounded Across the Eastern Seaboard as Government Rolls Out AI Air Traffic Control System
Hundreds of flights across New Jersey, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston were delayed Monday afternoon after the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a massive ground stop impacting thousands of travelers — right as the government starts testing an AI air traffic control system, though there’s no current indication that the two incidents are connected. According to early reporting by Reuters, over 600 flights were delayed across Newark and Philadelphia alone, in addition to hundreds more across four other east coast airports. Dozens of imminent takeoffs were likewise aborted across the busy flight corridor when the ground stops — which appeared to roll northward from Philadelphia — were issued. Preliminary reports indicate some sort of air traffic control glitch at one of the major airports along the East Coast, with Bloomberg TV reporting a circuit malfunction at an air traffic control facility in Philadelphia, and Reuters noting that a fiber optics cable was accidentally clipped in New Jersey. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that Boston’s Logan International Airport is warning travelers to expect extensive delays due to broad “equipment issues across the north-east.” As one FAA spokesperson told CBS21, the ground stop is due to “issues with some frequencies at Philadelphia TRACON,” also known as Terminal Radar Approach Control, the radar system that guides planes in and out of airports. At the time of writing, it isn’t exactly clear what’s behind the turmoil. What is clear is that the region’s air traffic control system is a tangled mess — and unfortunately, this could just be a sign of things to come. Strikingly, the massive air traffic outage comes right as the Trump administration moves ahead with a controversial AI air traffic control system known as “Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories,” or SMART."SMART"??? Really???
----- Maybe we're not alone Radio signals detected from a planet beyond our Solar System
Researchers have captured direct radio wave emissions originating from a planet outside our Solar System. Using South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope array, an international team of astronomers successfully detected variable radio bursts coming directly from Beta Pictoris b, a massive gas giant exoplanet located about 63 lightyears away. But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.Or maybe we are!

Assuming they were successful, I wonder if they'd be able to unbury the CO2 once the plants all started dying. I presume that they'd blame something other than the lack of CO2 for the problem.

That's not really as easy as some of the popular notions would have, due to the inverse square law and signal to noise.
If you imagine the limits of detection set by the laws of physics on signal to noise and all that, the limit for our "routine" isotropic leakage, radio, TV, etc is about 10 light years.
Now, we've sent out some more powerful beams, such as military radar, very tight directional cones. The limits for those are maybe a couple hundred lights years for some receiver that happened to be in the beam.
The most powerful signals we've ever mustered have come from some of the planetary radar ranging done with the non-defunct Arecibo dish. They could, in theory, be detected up to thousands, maybe 10K light years tops for somebody in the beam.

CO2 is one of the building blocks of plant life. Malthusians came up with the idea of global warming because they want fewer people on earth. One of their basic arguments is that the world's population growth was outpacing our ability to feed the world.

Yes, that question will definitely be asked in the future.
Roughly 8-9 million people starve to death every year. IMO, the production of cereal grains around the world is by far the most important "weather controlled" event for preventing human deaths.
Rice and wheat are massively benefitting from the increased levels of CO2. And will still benefit with further increases.
Corn is a C4 plant. It too, is benefitting from higher CO2 levels, but the benefit of future CO2 increases will only be slight.
Adding all of the deaths from floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, lightning strikes, avalanches, glacier collapses in Tibet, etc. typically does not get much over 100,000.
The deaths from cold weather outweigh the deaths from hot weather.
In conclusion: yes, those people are retards.

Beta Pictoris is a very young A type star, about 1.8 solar masses. Very young, but it will remain on the main sequence maybe a smidge less than 2 billion years. That's less than half the time for the Sun to go red giant from now.
The more massive a star, the quicker it forms, and the quicker it dies.
And life, at least as we know it, or conceive of it, likely can't exist around A stars anyway. They are to bright, throw off too much UV, and the habitable zone gets pushed way out.
While you can calculate a habitable zone for them, they throw off so much UV that the range where UV wouldn't be too strong can push it out even farther.
G and K stars are likely the ones for life, and there's a debate over which is really better. Lots of complex stuff. Life might develop around lighter F stars, but that's a much longer shot.

Tea, coffee and hot chocolate were on sale. But alcohol permeated the occasion. Ginger bread vendors sold cups of gin. A particularly strong gin was called Old Tom - records describe it as "incredibly ardent".
There was Purl - a mix of gin and wormwood wine, similar to vermouth. It was drunk hot and "you'd get absolutely wrecked on it", Day says.
There was also a "very spiky" beer called Mum infused with spices similar to a winter ale. The tents - made out of sails and propped up with oars - were called "fuddling tents" for the ruinous effect of the strong liquor.

I've pulled all the carrots and most of the potatoes, the beans are long done, the lettuce has bolted and the flowers are fading. The raspberries have been picked and frozen, the strawberries the same.
In about three weeks I will be putting up soups for the year. Probably ham and bean, chicken veggie rice, chicken tortilla, beef veggie, maybe some italian beef. I have managed to put up the veggies so far in the camper kitchen, but I'm not going to do soup until I have a real kitchen in place.
We eat very well from cheap chicken and beef cuts, put up as soups, for the entire year from what I grow in the garden and greenhouse, including herbs. I have a ton of dill, which makes the best smoked salmon spread and some really good pickles. Basil, oregano, thyme fill out the rest.
Life is good.

The biggest pro for K stars is there very long life, median maybe 45 billion years, with a range of 15 to 70ish billion. Call it 5x the lifetime of the Sun.
But the habitable zone is closer, and narrower. As you go up the mass and luminosity scale, the habitable zone, the Goldilocks zone moves but gets wider. Going the other way, it moves in and gets narrower.
Being closer means the potential life bearing planet is closer to danger from a big flare or CME.

Young stars are sort of like young humans, they throw tantrums and hissy fits occasionally. When a star is first "born", right at lighting up the H fusion and going on the main sequence, think of it as toddler. It throws tantrums of flares and CMEs. Then it gets into the teenaged years, and then into adulthood where it finally settles down.
Young stars spin fast and have larger magnetic fields, which drives the tantrums and outbursts.
The longer the lifetime of a star, the longer the toddler and teenage years gets stretched out. Long life, but longer volatile periods at the beginning.

The base star classification based on color temp goes O, B, A, F, G, K, M (with minor subranges with numbers and Roman numerals and some other things). Our sun is a G2V star.
A mnemonic for remember that is "Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me". As you might imagine, the feminists don't like that, even though it was a woman (Annie Jump Cannon) who came up with.
One of these harpies tried to change it to "Only Boys Accepting Feminism Get Kissed Meaningfully". This hasn't caught on.

Tried out a new Argentinian restaurant with fancy wine and empanadas. It was great! The wine was almost as expensive as the entree though.
The bartender was really excited about having some beers on tap made with fresh hops. If you drive to Salem in August with the windows down, you can smell all the hop fields.
To be honest I'm not sure I could tell what made the wine or the beer so special. They were both delicious though!

We put up I think 24 jars of smoked salmon this year. We only fished one day, so the count was down, but until DH gets new knees, that's about his limit.
However, I nailed the brine and it is really quite delish.

Young stars are sort of like young humans, they throw tantrums and hissy fits occasionally. When a star is first "born", right at lighting up the H fusion and going on the main sequence, think of it as toddler. It throws tantrums of flares and CMEs. Then it gets into the teenaged years, and then into adulthood where it finally settles down.
Young stars spin fast and have larger magnetic fields, which drives the tantrums and outbursts.
The longer the lifetime of a star, the longer the toddler and teenage years gets stretched out. Long life, but longer volatile periods at the beginning.

Ha ha, that is probably me in a few years.
I've been trying to lose weight the last couple years, but so far I've accomplished all of ten pounds.
We got a gym membership recently though. Oregon is helping pay for it because we joined a homeschool charter. You can homeschool without a charter, and there is no annoying bureaucracy, but then you don't recover any of your taxes. Reading the NHJ stories where "bad" NYC schools pay $50k/student, wow. . . . I wish we could recover that amount! IIRC they give us $1500/kid.
Anyway, all my life I thought it was hilarious that people paid money so they could drive the car to a gym to run on a treadmill. But once I tried the sauna, it all made sense. . . .

You might as well as a lady her age as ask for her brine recipe.
But it's mostly non-iodized salt, water, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and a few other items. Depends on your taste.
Brine for at least 12 hours, and then put the filets on racks to dry, probably for another 12 or so, until they are tacky to the touch.
I leave the smoking to DH, but I think he lets it run for about 4 hours. Lots of alder chips, or probably any kind.
Peel the skin, put it in half-pint jars, run it at 10 lbs pressure for 110 minutes.
You'll be busy for a couple of days, but that time is worth it.
Posted by: tcn in AK at September 23, 2026 03:57 AM (XFD51)
I have a big canner, so I can run 32 jars at a time if need be. That's probably about 20 to 24 fish, depending on size.
Would probably do it all faster with a bigger smoker, but I run out of room for drying and all that jazz.

And, this is a perfect equinox, turns out. The Erf doesn't follow the mean ecliptic of date around the Sun perfectly -- close enough for government work, but the Moon causes a little bobbing up and down and weaving back and forth. All that just happened to zero out this time around
To within 0.1 arcseconds the Sun's ecliptic latitude is 0, and the declination is 0 as well. The center of the Sun is dead on the celestial equator. The last perfect such seasonal alignment was the summer solstice of 2025.

But words mean things, and it is not possible to be eugenicist against a bar full of genetic dead ends. If everyone there is a Darwinian failure, you could firebomb the whole venue on a packed Saturday night and not affect the gene pool, which they had already pre-removed themselves from.
I don't care about any of the people involved, who are all horrible and probably deserve worse. But words matter, and I hate to see them abused like that.

Once the dog had to go out, and I called the vet for advice. She said she had plenty of deer/dog incidents, but never elk/dog. So I let him out.
He was a Bouvier, a herding breed. It was probably the best day of his life. He strutted up and down, saying My Herd. My Herd. The elk didn't care. They lifted their heads and went back to grazing.

Bel Brands says the somber new look is temporary and the mystery behind the mascot's mood shift will unravel soon. (On package under the somber-faced cow, it says "We Need to Talk")
Bel Brands stressed that the new expression is not a permanent logo or packaging change.
Once consumers learn why the mascot stopped laughing, the company said it is confident she will eventually smile again and the packaging and social media channels will return to the joyful expression shoppers have known for more than a century.
She strangled her calves, didn't she? And once she's found not guilty, she'll go back to laughing and smiling.

I've been thinking about that. Rod Martin's graphic makes it clearer that this was carefully crafted to be a balance of warning and flattery to NATO.
On the one hand, special privileges: non-NATO bases are prohibited, and NATO investments in critical minerals and the like don't suffer a U.S. veto. Look at how much we like you, NATO! Are you not flattered?
On the other hand, a slap to the face: making the agreement perpetual, regardless of whether NATO ends or Greenland gets independence from Denmark. Just taking either possibility into account is undiplomatic, but that's fine; I prefer realpolitik. It's necessary for our interests to be secured, no matter what dehwicate foreign fee-fees are hurt.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just called out the UN globalists for attempting to FORCE mass migration to the west "With your CEASELESS promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively DESTROYING the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history." "They want the worst people to come in from the WORST places on earth and we don't do it anymore." "There is NO HUMAN RIGHT to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a SOVEREIGN NATION."
Eric DaughertyWell he didn't coin that. People routinely speak of "AGI" -- "Artificial General Intelligence" -- and "ASI" -- "Artificial Super-Intelligence." Neither one has been achieved yet.
@EricLDaugh 🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's FULL blockbuster UN speech is getting rave reviews -- where he RAILED against the globalist ICC, called out the persecution of Christians, REFUSED to apologize for America First and more The whole thing was 10/10! 🔥 TRUMP DID THE FOLLOWING: - Called out the UN for ignoring Christian persecution worldwide while obsessing over America - Demanded every ICC member resign immediately from that rogue anti-American tribunal - Called Communist Cuba a failed state that will fall, then watched officials storm out - Declared there is no human right to illegal immigration, only the right to stay a sovereign nation - Scorched UNESCO globalists for pushing mass migration that destroys Western cultures - Said there is NO global government and there will be NO global taxes while he is president - Bragged that America cut the UN budget 15% and killed over 4,000 bureaucracy jobs - Boasted of the most secure border in American history with ZERO illegal aliens admitted - Declared America is BACK, stronger than ever, and in a GOLDEN AGE after Biden's dark age - Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace - Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished - Teased a huge post-election decision: strike a deal, or annihilate the Islamic Republic - Exposed Iran as weak and desperate, not strong, and predicted Iranian terror's end - Slammed cowards and traitors leaking fake "low munitions" claims mid-conflict - Took a victory lap over capturing Maduro and signing the largest oil deal in history - Laid down the Donroe Doctrine: no threats get a foothold in the Western Hemisphere - Refused to apologize for crushing drug cartels, calling them the ISIS of the hemisphere - Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment - Renamed Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence and vowed America stays #1 over China
- Closed with a nationalist call to strengthen nations, grow economies, and God bless America And that's just a non-exhaustive list.

Had a lovely conversation with some woman on X. She said that Trump, she called him the Orange Pedo, had said that he was going to invade Greenland. I pointed out that he specifically said that no force would be used. She countered with "you can say things without saying them". I suggested that she was a lunatic, wished her a happy life, and blocked her. Life is too short to have constant saving throws versus insanity.

That's just it. The UN resolved that Iran should not have nuclear weapons but has more and more wimped out on that. Trump has made peace, Trump has enforced a safeguard the UN probably only wants to talk about.

If it is an executive agreement, it does not require ratification, but it could be nullified by a later president. But treaties can also be denounced without Senate approval.

Plus he is also ramping up domestic oil production along with getting venezuala back in the game of producing oil. They have the absolute largest proven oil reserves in the country and Trump has locked them into a long term contract with the US. We are going to feel the effects of his presidency long after he is gone.

Reuters, 'Netanyahu says he will 'tell the truth' on Israel's actions at United Nations'
In part, "JERUSALEM, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he would use his speech at the United Nations this week to defend Israel's military actions against the Palestinians, while accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of supporting Hamas.
Netanyahu's comments were in response to remarks by the New York mayor, who told CNN on Monday that Netanyahu was a "war criminal and an architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people."

I thought the US already annihilated Iran 7 months ago in the war that definitely isn't a war?
This is the most compelling evidence that the US has reached peak power some years ago and now is on the downward trajectory of the power bell curve. Like most empires our best days are behind us and we were only really relevant for just over 100 years.

I stayed there for four years I loved it. The best fishing and hunting you could ever want. Granted it got a bit cold and you were isolated from the entire world while you were there, but it was a good duty station for me.

- no non-NATO military bases or investments, ever.
Something absolute that could not be undone.
Nixon fucked up big with his "two china" bullshit and then Carter handed the seat to the commies. (more of less.)
Bush fucked up big with temporary MFN for china, and then Clinton made it permanent (more or less)
Trump is very aware of that history -- this is his era and he watched those mistakes in real time.

I don't think you understand how things work up here. Most of us live here for the summers, which are glorious, and while they only last about four months, there is sunlight all day and most of the night. Many of us like the winters, too, since there are lots of places up here to go on a snowmachine, go ice fishing, and really world class skiing, both downhill and cross country.
Plus, salmon, moose, halibut, shrimp, and other hunting and fishing opportunities that fill the freezer.
Folks generally get along, except for the idiot tweakers in Wasilla and the lefty Californicators in Anchorage. The rule about "don't be an asshole and all will be well" usually applies. Do you own thing, don't mess with my thing, and your rights end at the tip of your nose.
People who can't get along usually move to the boonies and stay out of town. Works for everybody.

They spent, literally, the last 35 years trying to take down the US. the whole EU project was about taking down US. Kyoto on with global warming was about taking down US. Mass migration (here and there) was same.
DataRepublican has a report (i have not read) about EU funding US antifa. Everything they do is to take down USA. They decided to stop fighting each other for a bit, and unite to fight the USA. This goes back to the anti-nuke protests from the 70s and 80s. All those people identify USA as their enemy just like a 13yo thinks their parents are the problem
And they elevated that midget weasel up in canada and they hold him high because he fights the USA. What do they do if they win? China will chew them up and shit them out like feral cat hot pot.

in an earlier WW2 time, one of my uncles went to Alaska, mostly by choice, Army I think. He spent some time working a potato field, skiing, ice skating ... did not see direct action. My Dad was a Hawaii PBY mechanic (petty officer first class iirc) and of three other uncles, one saw a little real duty (don't know details) in South Pacific, but made it to Hawaii for my parent's wedding right after the war. Another heard some gunshots in Europe, but no direct action. We were pretty lucky, I guess.

But, at the end of the day, the American soldier is probably on net, the most force for good on record.

Five Years After Covid, a Lesbian Bar Finally Relaxed Its Covid Mask Policy, Which Required Wearing a KN-95 Mask at All Times.
The Backlash Is, Get This, Unhinged.
Five years after covid.
Five years after covid. I just want to make it clear that this is five years after covid. Five years after covid, and they're still shrieking and shrilling over a bar relaxing a requirement to wear KN-95 masks. Not banning the masks. Just not requiring them. Now, they're only suggested. Oh -- and the requirement is only relaxed one night per week. On Saturday. All other days of the week -- mask up. Covid will kill you. Five years later, and the left-wing lesbian Karens are having a meltdown.This is almost as spicy as the Intercepted Reddit Messages.
A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose. The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled "UPDATES!" was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond.
"It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional," wrote Last Ditch. Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask "or better" at all times. The new policy was not received with love. "Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with," wrote one commenter. "people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience," posted another.
Leftists furious about something they think they're "owed" but aren't getting?! This. Changes. Everything.
"I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic]," wrote a third.
The thread grew to 442 comments, some supportive, but many furious.
The people running the bar were accused of being ableist -- eugenicist, even -- for relaxing their signature policy in the face of what commenters consider an ongoing pandemic (Greenfield hasn't reported any COVID cases in more than two months). Two days later, Last Ditch posted an apology. "We are sorry for our passive and dismissive tone of our change to the norms and schedule impacting the most intersectional of us," management wrote on Instagram. "We understand everyone faces different intersections and we are always working to consider all needs fully."Now, you're not going to believe this, but it turns out that apologizing to an SJW does not appease them, but encourages them to become even more shrill and hateful in demanding further concessions.
How dare Sydney Sweeney sexualize women.
Instead of defusing the situation, the apology seemed to make things worse. The bar had erred: it posted an Instagram card without providing alt-text for the visually impaired. This set off a fresh round of accusations of ableism. "This is not an accessible post," wrote one user. "It indicates the lack of care or interest in Disability intersectionality." ... Quaint, crunchy Greenfield (population 17,700) isn't a bad place for a COVID-cautious lesbian bar in 2026, all things considered. Rainbow flags deck store windows downtown. On a recent weekend, a community theater was advertising a workshop for masked performers, down the street from a bookstore with a "medical masks required" sign in the window. Men in ponytails and N-95s were ordering hibiscus tea from the coffee shop off the main square. Greenfield is close, both physically and spiritually, to Northampton, sometimes referred to as "Lesbianville, U.S.A." In the Pioneer Valley, "every bar is a lesbian bar," a friend who lives there told me. Nevertheless, Last Ditch, which opened last year as a bar for "dykes, transsexuals, gender freaks, workers, and their friends," is struggling. ... "Our mission is to create systems of care and action and aid," says Jackie Matellian, one of the founders. When it first opened, Last Ditch did fairly well. Customers fondly remember a raucous opening night with a (clothed) simulation of a lesbian sex act -- masks in place -- on the dance floor.
But over time, foot traffic to the bar slowed. More and more visitors said they didn't have the cover fee; the bar let them in anyway. The owners fell behind on bills and couldn't pay themselves or the people who worked there. So, after consulting with the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce, they came up with a plan to bend one of their rules -- and hopefully attract more customers. ... One of Last Ditch's most vocal critics, the head of another queer COVID-conscious collective in Western Massachusetts, a performer and artist who goes by Soe Noire, has been posting complaints about Last Ditch for days. Now, Noire joins the meeting on Zoom. He and other critics begin to flood the Zoom chat with irate messages, which are dutifully read aloud to the group."He"? Is this a trans "man" by any chance? "Noire" is the feminine form of "Noir." Does "he" know that?
... When it comes time for one of the mediators, a licensed therapist, to speak, she takes a conciliatory tone. "I love that you are here online," she says. But "these platforms alienate us from each other. I'm talking about social media." She asks whether participants can try to remove themselves from "places of righteousness." "I would love to get to a place where we all know each other's face, where we all know each other's name," she continues. "It's messed up that the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually. That's not accessibility," someone responds in the chat.< "A lot of people are calling for an acknowledgment of harm and I'm hearing a WHITE therapist ... center[ing] the feelings of a majority white and white adjacent staff," writes Noire, who is Black.No shit really? The owner tried to femsplain that she was losing money and deeply in debt and felt she had to do something to increase patronage -- or matronage -- or else she'd have to close it down. Showing weakness to an SJW is never a good move.
Oh, a business is not primarily a vehicle for revolutionary communist praxis? Praxis is a bullshit term that just means "practice" -- there is theory, and then there is praxis, putting theory into practice. Stupid uneducated communists use an obscure Latin word that means "practice" to make their stupid ideas sound smart. Why not just say "practice"? Because that wouldn't sound -- how many quotation marks do I have to use to express my sneering revulsion -- " " " " " " smart " " " " " " like "praxis" does. Now we delve into the mystery of Noire's many-layered sexual identity, and it's as fake and gay and stupid as you were expecting.
"I never really wanted to do this," Matellian says, beginning to cry under her mask. "I don't think I'm doing a very good job." Matellian tells the group her credit score is trashed. For six months, she lived in her truck because she was pouring money into the bar. She is working four different jobs. She is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan the three took out to launch the business. The online critics are unmoved. "[Y]ou chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings," Noire posts in the chat. "This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior."
... Last Ditch's landlord wants $3,900 in back rent by Monday. Noire spends the hours after the meeting posting furious Instagram stories about Matellian and Last Ditch. Matellian (who uses she/they pronouns) had been shedding "WHITE THEY THEM TEARS," he writes. The bar was not "a safe environment nor interested in revolutionary praxis."
"He's" been there eight fucking times and "he" acts like he owns the place.
I reach Noire, who identifies as a gender-expansive lesbian and uses he/him pronouns, by Zoom a few days later. I ask whether he has any sympathy for those running Last Ditch, given the profound financial strain they are under. "No," he replies. (Noire asked to be referred to by his stage name because he says he has been stalked and fears for his safety.) "I'm not going to give grace" when someone is "spreading rhetoric that can and will get people hurt," he says, referring to the fact that the bar's account had "liked" a few comments supporting the relaxed rule. Noire, who lives about 50 minutes south of Greenfield, estimates he has visited the bar seven or eight times. But he won't return unless there is new leadership. "You can't repair a house that's on fire," he says.
Just one more glimpse of the seething hormonal insanity:
I remember a comment on Last Ditch's original announcement, after the pile-on had begun: @scream_guy_wazzzuuuuuuup asked, "i'm sorry, all 400 of these crazy people live in GREENFIELD MASSACHUSETTS????" I ask whether the people behind the angriest posts have genuine connections to the bar -- are they real customers? Young and Matellian say yes, they know many of the detractors. "There are people that are close to us and love us who are really disappointed in our decision, and that is completely understandable," says Young, who says her sister is one of the vocal critics online. "Like, it's so understandable why they feel hurt by the way we did it and the fact that we did it." "They have passion for the space," Matellian adds.
The Boston Globe ran a graphic showing some of the unhinged comments:
Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga themed night, but Mixxy demurs. "Gaga is canceled," she says. "Gaga is Zionist."
the lack of masks in spaces literally kills people & stops disabled people from participating in society. I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists Like was this deliberately written to be alienating, rude, and ableist?? enjoy contributing to national covid spikes and potentially catching covid on mask optional nights then just say you don't want to be around queer disabled people and be done with it. 🙏🏼I love the use of "prayer hands" in a hateful message.
Oh, she's on disability. You and I are paying for her to sit on her couch and scream hate into the internet every day.
YOU'VE just decided that disabled peoples lives are debatable. And that's fine, it's pretty typical of white leftists. It feels wildly insensitive and dismissiveBeing in community requires tolerating discomfort. The cost of not masking for many is lifelong disability via long covid
I'm seeing a lot of "deserving" talk here. A lot of entitlement.
seeing these people whine about masks being a little inconvenient for them is INFURIATING. how could we consider you "community" if you act in a way that is killing us. if youre only concerned with protecting yourself at the cost of DEATH for others, you are no better than a fascist. What is truly being WILD is announcing a change of this magnitude in a cavalier, callous fashion. if you spread diseases that disable and kill, you do not "love me". Does COVlD not disable people on Saturday nights? Very confused by the disregard for community care A venue wouldn't run a "hatred and discrimination night" to ensure that prejudiced people have a night where they feel included. Inclusivity is about setting basic standards for human dignitity. people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience.
if this were the AIDS epidemic, youd be on the side of people who were against prophylactics and who believed AIDS patients should be hidden from the public, left to die alone. shut up, ablism apologist. Gods, I'd bet money you are even more horrible to black queer people if you can't even sit your ability privileged ass down and listen to disabled queers. As others have shared, my family is also withdrawing financial support due to the decision and its truly heartless presentation to the community. It's not too late to reverse this decision and apologize If u wanna pander to capitalism and white supremacy go right ahead, you wouldn't be the first white and white adjacent people in history to do so. How performative and grotesque. Classic white and white aligned people and their "nice" culture it's so backhanded!!!
spreading deadly and disabling disease IS violent and YOU should educate YOURself. just bc the vast majority of humans in this society don't care about killing or disabling others, that doesn't make it okay Not having a mask requirement on Saturdays IS going to spread disease, it IS going to cause re infection, and trans and black folks (who are high risk to long Covid and complications) CAN and WILL die from this. What a complete joke. Of course you and LD think it's "silly" because black and disabled peoples collective health are disposable to yall.
Yikes on bikes indeed. Communists, mentally-ill dregs, and bitter entitled invalids on disability are not the kind of customer base that results in a prosperous business. Meanwhile: Why are people turning on the "queer community"? I can't figure it out. Usually ugly bullies and nasty mentally-ill people are so popular and beloved!
The "with love" also lands really hollow since it's followed by a "but we decided to not care about protecting you on Saturdays". Shameful misalignment of values to praxis, and disappointing to see.
"anti-profit" bar but they cater to capital within a year lol
some people cannot afford to get sick. These people deserve to have a space that is safe for them to socialize because they cannot go anywhere else. i am hurt and upset by your glib and flippant attitude around it ESPECIALLY given your entire mission and foundation was based on creating a masked space for the immunocompromised community Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with i will continue to navigate feeling excluded by a large portion of the wmass queer community as i have been for many years now
disabled folks don't have other spaces we can frequent, largely because of people like you who've accepted the culture of ableism and don't want to mask to keep their communities safe. Everyone is at risk of Long COVID. Everyone can and will experience multiply disabling impacts from repeat infections masking isn't just for disabled folks. everyone is at risk. masking is community care. this establishment, apparently, is not what a massive bummer. Yikes on bikes.
These people are exhausting.

Masks show their devotion to the belief system and display their virtue at the same time. Masks also give them an opportunity to judge others and to force them to conform. All without having to actually do anything virtuous, helpful, kind or even useful.
All the hallmarks of a horrible, horrible religion.

That X post is overblown. She had a bag to carry stuff that was rainbow color striped and the father of the bride asked her to put it away, he didn't want any QWERTY stuff at the wedding. According to her, she complied and did the job she was paid to do, but was upset enough to post about it. She's bisexual by the way, no Lezbo uggo, assuming she's the brunette in the vid. The blonde doesn't need a mask either, could be her. Vid cuts out before they started making out.

Mask Required Lesbian Bar in Greenfield MA
My wife and I went to Last Ditch Bar on Saturday night. It's a mask-required lesbian bar! Woo-hooooooo!!!
Some stuff about me:
I would consider myself a militant covid realist.
I have been involved in disability access community work since 2015. I have been guided in my mitigation strategy by disabled organizers.
I live with chronic pain (trigeminal neuralgia), but do not identify as disabled.
I never stopped masking or consistently testing since at home tests became available.
I left my 30-year career and found lower infection spread work that allows me to wear a respirator.
I have lost most of my non-disabled friends because of my strict practices. My current social circle is very small and we operate with radical transparency about our activities. We almost always mask together unless outside, distanced and molecular tested.
I work with the local mask bloc and cleaner air system lender.
I wear an n95 all day at work. I use a sip valve. If I take a lunch or water break, it is outside. Often I do not take a break.
It was not perfect. The drag performers are not required to mask...

There are 2 things that determine the N-95's effectiveness: the pore size of the MASK vs the PARTICLE size of the Covid virion.
A bit o' the old 'Math': The COVID virion is THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE SMALLER than the pore size of the N-95. That means it is 1,000 time SMALLER than the N-95's pores. It offers NO MORE 'PROTECTION' than toilet paper.
Addendum: Most people believe doctors wear masks to protect themselves from 'things' that patients might generate. No. They wear masks to protect the PATIENT from their own saliva and possibly products in their exhalations that could have a negative effect on the patient.
We now return to our regularly-scheduled programming …

My guess is something along the lines of: I'd rather die of some disease with my face bare- like a free man- than live covering my face like a slave!

yeah, that's a true thing. But I would also say that 90% of the leftwing women claiming to be "immunocompromised" also claim to have every other trendy online viral "ailment" like neurodivergence or, of course, "gender fluidity." Autimsm+ -- which I think is autism plus ADHD, and was invented a couple of years ago -- is a very popular fake self-diagnosis.
And also: While feeling sympathy for people who are immunocompromised, I don't want to live my life as if *I* am immunocompromised. I have my own health problems. I don't try to force society to live with the same problems in solidarity.

I have a long-time friend, She moved away to the other side of the country several years ago. Ever since, we've only really ever kept in touch electronically.
She married a guy whom I know is an idiot moonbat, but hey, love is blind.
About the same time as Covid hit, she got sick -- but not with Covid -- a more serious disease (redacted fro privacy]. It was tough goingg for a while ther, but she amazingly recovered, 100%,a d now has been declared totally disease-free by her doctors and completely "cured."
End of the story? Hang on.
So earlier this year I visited them for the first time in their far-away home - first time I've seen her since Covid, since she was sick, since she got married.

Sooo... .0021% of the area are Immunocompromised Lesbians...
Your math is off. You forgot to multiply by 100. It's 0.21%. You're also assuming the two properties are independent. Plenty of lesbians are fat, sedentary, have bad genetics, etc, so it's not a safe assumption those two traits (immunocompromised and lesbian) are independent.

so if you DOUBLE the area population to 35K, then there are like 73 of that category in the area... many of whom don't even drink...
1. Open a bar catering to a group most don't want to associate with, who has a population of 73.
2. Make it Mask mandatory for stupid reasons...
3. Profit?

-- Wear a K-95 mask for an entire week prior to visiting them
-- Wear a mask from the moment I leave the house for travel to the moment I show up at their door. [con't]-- bring extras changes of clothing & extra pairs of shoes BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW "OUTSIDE CLOTHES" in the house.
-- etc.
Sure enough, when I showed up at their door, they made me CHANGE CLOTHES in the entryway and place my "outside clothes" in a "quarantine bag." Everyone masked, all the time.
Fun fun fun for everyone.
As the days passed, I can to understand that the friend herself didn't like masking and only agreed to it because he insisted. His explanation His precious wife is "immunocompromised" and thus he is doing all this to protect her.
When I later asked my friend in private about this topic and her illness, she admitted that she ISN'T immuncompromised, that she is 100% cured, and that the doctor told her she that is completely healty and has no need for a mask.
But the husband rejects the doctor's assurances, and demands masks for everyone within a 100' radius of his wife.
She admitted to me that they have lost most of their friends & famil yover this.

I found out one nite when she asked if I could take her somewhere when the club closed 'cos she didn't want to go home - she was that afraid of her 'lover/roomie'. We got in my car, drove to Lake Pontchartrain's lakefront, and I took the front seat while she slept in back. I reallyreallyreally wanted to climb in back, but … anyhow: I drove her back to the Quarter in the morning and then drove myself home … them was the days.

Simple calculations of the number of immunocompromised lesbians in the country ignore the phenomenon of people imagining themselves immunocompromised so that they can be oppressed victims. That has to inflate the number by orders of magnitude

No wonder the bar is going broke.
Does anybody believe that such entitled, self-aggrandizing twats would actually leave a tip for excellent service?
The three bar owners should switch to catering to wealthy frat boys. Their bar would sell 10x the booze and a staff of cute lesbians would earn 100x the tips.
And they could just ignore the even LOUDER bitching from the spurned harpies in their social media comments.

The space was packed far beyond what the inexperienced owners and staff had planned for. A known building leak dripped dirty water onto patrons and food. There was a physical fight in which one customer struck another and then made racist remarks; managers later said co-owner Olga Bichko did not handle the incident adequately. Payroll problems left some workers underpaid or unpaid. The bar and kitchen managers both quit immediately afterward, which forced the closure.
An anonymous group calling itself the Marie Equi Workers Collective then posted on Instagram that staff had been “misled about the space being safe and welcoming.” They accused the owners of unprofessional and unsafe behavior and of enabling a racist aggressor. The group demanded that Bichko hand the business over to the departing managers so it could become a worker-owned cooperative. Bichko disputed the characterizations, said the managers had been in over their heads, and declined to engage with the anonymous demands.

Leftist are trying to fix you (as unit of "society"). So of course you are necessarily involved.
And if you don't reform, you should, in their theory, be removed from the solution.
This is why Nazism is simply an extreme case of social engineering: Jews, the theory goes, stood in the way of a gelling German state that could really make headway. "Jewish newspapers" were always critical of German government and German people. Jews also held a good part of the wealth of the German nation.
Jews were in the way.
This is simple government-as-social-transformation behavior. It's just vituperatively aimed at a genetic variety.
Nazism is special by the lengths to which they pursued a genocidal "reform". But it falls into the general category of government-as-social-transformation. A key note of "fascism".
People are in the way--useless eaters, like the infirm, disabled and elderly, who cannot contribute to the societal value of work, can be removed.
Currently, if you're not on board with UK progress, the UK removes you to prison--at least for the time being.

I went to an appointment at the VA during the height of covid. They made you stop at the door and wait until they could take your temperature. If it was above normal they would not let you in. You had to wear a mask at all times even if you have asthma like I do.
When I finally got to actually see a nurse she asked me about 35 questions related to if I have had or do have covid. While I was answering those questions my mask kept slipping off of my mouth because it got caught on my beard. She started yelling at me about not wearing a mask properly. I yelled back quit fvcking asking me questions then and my mask won't slip off my fvcking face.
The appointment went downhill from there.

I didn't know that wastewater surveillance does not strictly require a public water or modern municipal sewer system to work. Surveillance tracks pathogens that infected individuals shed into any drainage or sanitation network, public or private, as long as a representative sample of the collective waste can be gathered and tested.

Bloomberg Was Paying -- Bribing, We Sometimes Call It -- Democrat State AGs to Push "Environmentalism" Lawsuits
But that's okay, because the law doesn't apply to leftists.
Being a leftist is playing life on Easy Mode with all cheat codes enabled.Bloomberg-Backed Climate Group Paying Salaries of Democratic State AG Officials Quietly Shuts Down Amid Congressional, Legal ScrutinyAnother example: Being a leftist is playing life on easy mode with all cheat codes enabled.
The initiative's website states that it is 'historical material,' and its leaders no longer list it as their employer on their LinkedIn pages A group housed at the New York University School of Law and backed by billionaire climate activist Michael Bloomberg quietly closed its doors in late August amid congressional scrutiny into its funding and operations. The so-called State Energy and Environmental Impact Center's signature initiative involved placing paid, climate-focused "fellows" in Democrat-controlled state attorney general offices nationwide as those offices sued the oil industry and other energy providers. The center's sudden closure comes as a surprise: It continued to update its public database tracking state attorney general actions relevant to its climate priorities until Aug. 31, the date of its apparent closure. It also released an episode of its in-house podcast, Recharged with the State Impact Center, less than three weeks prior to that date. And in its 2025 "year in review" report released last December, the center indicated that it would continue operating throughout 2026. But prior to its closure, the center was coming under increased pressure for effectively paying the salaries of state law enforcement agencies that were pursuing lawsuits in line with the center's priority of going after energy providers. ... The disappearance of the center comes as it faced multiple congressional and state-level investigations over alleged ethics issues related to its funding and its practice of paying the salaries of officials it placed in state attorney general offices. Media reports and lawmakers often referred colloquially to those officials as "Bloomberg fellows" because Bloomberg helped found the center in 2017 with two seed grants worth $2.8 million each. Tax filings show that Bloomberg provided the grants through his eponymous charity, the Bloomberg Family Foundation--one of the country's most influential charities--that focuses on climate activism. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened an investigation into the center last year, stating that its activities "raise questions as to whether participating state attorneys general are acting on independent judgement to best serve the interests of their states' citizens." "The Bloomberg-NYU program effectively offers states partisan money from a billionaire to carry out official functions of their offices," the panel wrote at the time. Bloomberg, it continued, "disguises his donations as 'philanthropy'" and uses the impact center as a mechanism "to skirt legislative bodies and effect partisan policy." In a statement to the Free Beacon, the Oversight Committee's chairman Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.) said he remained concerned that the center "undermined public integrity and pushed radical Democrat policies that increase energy costs for Americans, despite billing itself as 'nonpartisan.'" "The Committee is glad to see that this center will no longer be in operation," he added.

@NickMinock 6h 🚨Fairfax County Supervisor Andres Jimenez who was clocked driving 104 mph in a 70 next to a school bus got a great deal in court. His reckless driving criminal charge, which carried potential jail time, was reduced all the way down to an improper driving traffic infraction. Improper driving is several steps below reckless driving and carries no jail time. For comparison, in 2014, Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth was convicted of reckless driving and sentenced to 10 days in jail for driving his Porsche over 100 mph on the Capital Beltway (Source: ESPN). Fairfax County General District Court Judge Penney Azcarate said at the time that the jail sentence was appropriate given the excessive speed. WATCH BELOW: Video shows a Virginia State Trooper pulling over Fairfax County Supervisor Andres Jimenez for reckless driving. The video shows him driving fast next to a school bus.

Excerpt:
“I can’t be true to my values if I even consider voting for Mike Rogers,” [Nessel] said. “We have one candidate that I know is going to fight against the Trump administration, is going to fight to protect both our physical security, our safety, our health, and our futures, and then we have another canidate, Mike Rogers, who’s not going to do any of that and only cares about self-enrichment and how many pats on the back he can get from Donald Trump.”

Regardless of whether or not you believe subliminal advertising works, advertisers pay psychology experts the big bucks for theories like that.
I float the idea that Converse may have stage it, with enough details that would make it doubtful.
But observing several years of watching Trump direct the media attention by outrage, I suspect that if it was deliberate, Converse probably didn't leave the discovery up to chance, and it actually paid the outrage seeders as well.
This is not something I rate as high-probability, but it's on the field for me.

Well. Why did American rage-aholics latch onto an global online ad campaign aimed at K-pop fanatics? According to Brave AI search summary, it was on the Converse U.S. website and all over social media, such as the Converse Malaysia Instagram. It was visible to Americans but not really aimed at us, so I'll add rage seeding to the possibility matrix.

Because what you just said lends it plausible deniability.
And an ad campaign can be engineered to do more than one thing at a time.
You'll never find me insisting that's what it is, or even that people that don't accept it are in some sort of denial. I'm just putting that scenario out there.
It's also because while I can side with the idea it wasn't intentional, it's not something I have knowledge of that I can insist it's not intentional.
So, when the scenario of its being intentional came up, I put together a scenario of how I believe it could be intentional.

All of 'his climate policies were working closely with Bloomberg-backed initiatives like the Global Business Forum & America Is All.
Core Pillars: Inflation Reduction Act - roughly $369-$374 billion toward energy security & climate change mitigation. Clean Energy Tax Credits; Emissions Targets, and International re-engagement (rejoining the Paris Agreement & shifting development finance priorities at institutions like the World Bank).
Investments were intentionally designed to prioritize job creation & environmental justice for POC and historically disadvantaged communities. (Climate Power found +/- 66% of new clean energy jobs & 74% of projects spurred by the IRA were located in communities of color.
The Justice40 Mandate: 40% of the overall benefits of federal climate change, clean energy, affordable housing, and pollution-remediation investments flow directly to disadvantaged communities.
The American Climate Corps. Local hiring preferences & labor standards, and green manufacturing & EV supply chains.
Environmental & Climate Justice Block Grants, and more.

The last time my old man got stopped by the cops was for speeding; he was running late for a court hearing in a neighboring county. Now, he wasn’t going nearly that fast, but he took his lumps. But he wasn’t a county commissioner or anything like that. Just a soldier.

The officer tells Jimenez he clocked him driving 104 mph in a 70. Jimenez said he wasn’t paying attention, apologized, said he was on his way to work and that the board meeting started in 20 minutes.

He saying he's late so he gets to speed. Which means he'll keep doing it.

Cops have a caltrop/spike strip device that fits in the hand. When they're dealing with someone they suspect will take off, they can put it right in front of the tire. No need to get in front of the pursuit and throw spike strips in front of a speeding car. It's pretty nifty.

For me, that's a strawman. I'm not saying anything "was" anything. I'm explaining a scenario.
Because I can't say it definitely wasn't intentional. I wanted to. I started to. But as I thought about it, the scenarios for intentionality came to me.
First of all, they could have spent a billion on that one photo, and yes, it still could have been incidental or simply whatever shapes they were. That's not off the table. So it's not like money = inevitability.
So when I said that people would be shocked at how much money they spend to engineer photos it's not about shapes can't be incidental. But it is about how much attention and engineering goes into one single photo that attenuates the case that something is simply incidental. Which leaves room for a separate thing to be engineered into the shot.
And repeatedly I have said that if they did one end, they probably did the other. I am not affirming what the other side "found" was intentional, only that they may have planted a semblance that guerrilla viral marketting would crop.

So Michael Bloomberg remains a climate cultist. I can't get over how these billionaires can be so ignorant and irrational. He has people who vet supplicants and causes up to their eyeballs, doesn't he? On any day of the week he's turning away tens of thousands of people who want his money for their world-saving program. Feed the Africans, save the spotted owls, stop the deforestation, on and on. There ARE actually good causes meanwhile. Nigerian Christians, Yazidi girls, disabled American veterans. And this is what he picks -- kill the internal combustion engine in America?
Bill Ackman is another one. He seems to be in recovery, although I wouldn't put it past him to slip in some direction or other. His wife speaks like a climate cultist and runs some organization that makes no money.

As far as I saw, there is no frame in the video that is posed like that picture. It is a separate release of ~4 stills, not the video. AFAIS. There no frame with her putting the shoe on her head, AFAIS, but there is a still.
And the fact that it convinces you that other pictures other stills means it ABSOLUTELY was not intentional is something somebody could predict and use.
It does not diminish the engineered controversy scenario. In fact, it makes a better case for why converse is expecting more than a momentary backlash.
You have to look at the whole scenario I have proposed. None of it is "racist".
The intentional scenario finds it very likely that Converse set up the controversy by planting a semblance and then anonymously revealing it.
There is no way Converse could have paid for this much of their name in people's mouths.

That's their entire plan. To "fix" "society" (a strong holdover from Owen, btw). Thus they can't have you counteracting their "fix". You're part of the problem as part of unfixed society.
At least I'll say about Owen is that he bankrolled the whole "change". You didn't have to join his communes, and he didn't try to change your society in place.
And that's exactly what Marx thought was "socialism done wrong". It was voluntary.
Marx provided a logistical path to Owen's solution. He rode the wave of Rousseau, developed a theory of history, and made a crude "plan" of how to get to Owen's communes through historical development.
The funny thing is that Marx turns out to be the first person to say "He didnt' do socialism right".

That is a bogus argument. Alexis de Tocqueville made the case.
The Control Group is every culture in all of human history, you don't need a parallel alternate/control universe when you have the Fourth Dimension.
But it wasn't just the 19th Amendment. Successive generations kept diluting the vote of people who had skin in the game.
15th - opened it up to non property owners
17th - took away State rights by popular election of the State's representatives.
19th - opened it up to emotional, irrational voters
23rd - allowed non-States to vote (further diluting the Union of States into an amorphous mess)
24th - removed the poll tax and allowed the dead, illegal aliens, street bums, welfare recipients, pets, fictional characters to vote
26th - Let people whose social mental development is still years off to vote.
All of these things conspired to turn elections into advanced auctions for stolen goods, since the one-way ratchet of returning to office is through gifts of other people's money.

And if you don't reform, you should, in their theory, be removed from the solution.
This is why Nazism is simply an extreme case of social engineering: Jews, the theory goes, stood in the way of a gelling German state that could really make headway. "Jewish newspapers" were always critical of German government and German people. Jews also held a good part of the wealth of the German nation.
Jews were in the way.
This is simple government-as-social-transformation behavior. It's just vituperatively aimed at a genetic variety.
Nazism is special by the lengths to which they pursued a genocidal "reform". But it falls into the general category of government-as-social-transformation. A key note of "fascism".
People are in the way--useless eaters, like the infirm, disabled and elderly, who cannot contribute to the societal value of work, can be removed.

Fine, then it is mental masturbation since in real-life few get the luxury to create a walled off control group—because you don't even know what that walled off group would look like.
So you look for patterns, signals, cause and effect, you collect data, make reasonable assumptions, test your assumptions, modify if they don't back test.
What your saying, in effect, is that algorithmic trading can't possibly happen because there is no control group that can run in parallel to compare The Trade to The Non Trade.
There are prohibitions to illegal aliens and dead people voting, yet a significant portion of voting is by these groups. It isn't possible to set up a 19th Control Group because there are always people working a "fix" around the obstacle.

Grand Jury: There Was No Murder In the Drowning Death of Nolan Wells
For some reason, what Black Conservative Perspective calls "The Pro Blacks" are angry that a black kid was not murdered.
The Disney Groomer Network is probably all busted up about it, too.
The media refuses to report on black crimes against whites -- there is still no national reporting on the white girls dragged into the bushes by their hair to be beaten on by black "youths" during a Mostly Peaceful "Teen Takeover" -- on the theory that reporting black on white crimes would incense whites who would then start attacking blacks. On the other hand, they are determined to report fake White on Black Hate Crimes, despite there being proof that whites were not involved. Leftist politicians like Ayanna Presley and the media keep claiming that a black student was "lynched," despite there being videotape of him walking into the woods where he was found hanged carrying a rope. He brought a rope for his own lynching? Or was he just walking around randomly with a rope and coincidentally ran into a Lynching Party who thought "wow, the guy brought his own lynchin' rope, must be our day!" Meanwhile, the AP keeps reporting that a black woman found hanged is triggering black people, reminding them of whites lynching blacks. They fail to report that there was a man arrested in the crime -- a black man who knew the victim personally.
The grand jury reviewing the evidence in the death of Nolan Wells has found that no criminal charges are warranted at this point, according to the Jackson County Grand Jury Report released late Monday night. The report says that the "position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location" of the 18-year-old's body off the coast of Mississippi this July is "consistent with drowning." Wells vanished after he and friends had gone out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on barrier islands off the Gulf Coast. His body was recovered in the waters off Horn Island two days later. Authorities have previously said they believe the college football player drowned, but the final determination would go to a grand jury that would review all the case materials, including the state medical examiner's completed autopsy report, to decide whether Wells' death involved a crime. The grand jury of 23 people, convened last week, found "no credible evidence to support the public allegations" that anyone riding to or from the island that day surrounding Wells "engaged in any criminal conduct related to" his death. The panel was comprised of what the report called a "cross section of citizens" from the area: 13 men and ten women, including "12 Caucasians, five African Americans, one Asian, two Hispanics, two Native Americans, and one individual who preferred 'other.'" Their ages ranged from 27 years old to 68 years old. The grand jury heard from 43 witnesses and reviewed materials including physical evidence collected at the scene, digital evidence, police reports and interviews, videos, images and maps collected during the investigation. That Wells drowned is a conclusion by the process of elimination, the grand jury report said, adding that the condition of the body made it harder to figure out. The long-awaited toxicology report was "not particularly informative as decomposition fluid is an unreliable source for evaluating substance levels within a body." The panel found, however, that Wells had no cocaine in his system and no evidence he'd ever used it. The panel did find that Wells bought alcohol with a fake ID, and no adults of alcohol-buying age provided any to him on the island that day. There was bruising on the back of Wells' head, which was "not a fatal injury," the report said. The grand jury "found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body."

L A R R YIt's more than that. AP wants to boost black voter turnout and they're willing to lie and incite violence against whites to get it. If they just wanted us "divided and angry," they would also report on the very much more numerous examples of black attacks on whites. They don't -- they completely embargo them.
@LarryOConnor 19h She was murdered by a black man. @AP hates you and wants Americans divided and angry. There is literally no other possible explanation for this garbage.
BREAKING: Maryland lynching death ruled a suicide. They pushed the story that a white man hung him.

This case still reeks. I cannot believe that they would be working so hard to discontinue investigation if Wells were a white kid who died under these circumstances.
The family needed a criminal prosecutor not a civil attorney. Ben crump should’ve never represented this family. Him and Al sharpton failed the wells family…
The criminal prosecutor is the district attorney who failed the family. The police failed the family. The community failed the family. Crump and Sharpton simply cast a brighter light on the situation, they have no authority to charge or prosecute anyone.
All of these bastards are in on it. It was a fucking obvious murder and i am beyond angry and beyond tired. IS THERE ANYThING that can now happen to keep calling this out or is Nolan Well's death just gonna be accepted as is???
I knew that was coming. They tampered with the whole thing from the start and those other kids' parents with their monies and lawyers were all over it.
It’s Mississippi. Just more disappointment and heartbreak 💔.
What were you expecting? Justice? Remember Emett Till?

I have a scenario about that.
First of all, one of the most lucrative jobs for a psychology PhD is in marketing and advertising.
Second, few people know how much engineering goes into one photo still, staging, retouching, everything and how much money that costs. In the 80s, advertisers could spend 50K for a one page ad.
Regardless of whether or not you believe subliminal advertising works, advertisers pay psychology experts the big bucks for theories like that.
I float the idea that Converse may have stage it, with enough details that would make it doubtful.
But observing several years of watching Trump direct the media attention by outrage, I suspect that if it was deliberate, Converse probably didn't leave the discovery up to chance, and it actually paid the outrage seeders as well.
This is not something I rate as high-probability, but it's on the field for me.

The only people that aren't, on one level, are those who adhere to some form of classical liberalism and its offshoots. And yet, they still have their tribe: those who oppose those who oppose their ideology. They'll take anyone who opposes those who oppose them.

It wasn’t deliberate.
It’s a typical modern Asian aesthetic shoe ad that some crazy black person here in the states hallucinated some kind of racial symbology from the way the model’s arm hangs down and a pair of Chucks.
There is nothing wrong with the ad.
It is performative delusion, and surely not marketing genius or they never would have ran it.
They’re Chucks.
Few people, outside of uncontacted tribes in the Amazon, don’t know Chucks.
The last thing Converse would want is this kind of controversy for their most popular shoe.

Same reason so many people fell for the Russia collusion lies. Propaganda works which is why for a long time the federal government was prohibited from using against US citizens. Until Obama helped overturn the prohibition.
This is why Trump is trying to destroy the fake media. I agree with him, it is a national security threat when so many people can influenced by blatantly fake news.
Given the size of the populations, black on what crime is orders of magnitude greater than white on black but from the way the media covers it you would think it is just the opposite. The country would be in a much better place if they media didn't constantly lie.

The marketing psychologist tend to use a Freudian dynamic of sex and death. Again, whether or not you believe subliminal messages work, you probably know it's not impossible to get an uneasy feeling about a advertising shoot you can't explain.
For example--and this is the theory--smokers suppress their worry about cancer, but reminding them about cancer excites that complex, and they pursue relief through what? Cigarettes.
Hence, there was a cigarette add in Sports Illustrated. At the time, (I think it was) Cooper was the biggest supplier of Hockey equipment. But the lettering on the goalie's gloves cannot be mistaken for "Cooper" with any scrutiny. It doesn't look exactly like "Cancer", because that would just give it away, but it looks suggestively like "Cancer".
Again there is too much money and production put into a single still of of marketing, that some guerilla form of viral marketing is completely off the table.
It makes it even more likely that "they didn't do that on purpose" as the head of marketing appears to be some sort of mulatto.

Look I thought so also, but then I started looking at some of the clips/edits stills - there is nothing in a shoot like this that isn't planned. There is definitely a shot where they created a reflection of a klan hood on the skirt. In a prior shot it is a star. The arm of the star is removed and it is a profile of a hood. Not accidental. Part of the intended design. Also they darkened the image so it isn't clear that there aren't legs in the sneakers instead of the girls hand holding them and cropped the shot so it is suggestive. There is a side campaign where they have shoes hanging from a tree and guy on a ladder. It looks weird. Black and white. Its subconscious but they are doing a mind fcuk here. Its an op. None of it is accidental.

Oil going up 20% and then down 10% in like 2 weeks (it'll go further) is just trading on the news.
People freaked out about the east-west pipeline hit even though it was operating at about 40% capacity because the strait traffic had picked up to at least 60% pre-war levels (including Iran's oil, which shouldn't get counted because it was going black market to China and nowhere else), and the bypass to the hit was going to be up in a matter of days (it's up now, it was only days), all while the storage at the refining sights on the west coast of Saudi Arabia were actually full.
The actual facts on the ground didn't support the rise in prices, but the rise in prices happened because people are stupid, panicky animals.
I know a guy who bought a Tesla, brand new, with the money he made from shorting oil last week.

How much of that is due to the power of suggestion?
My youngest daughter is an excellent photographer and frequently shoots her friends partly in light and partly in deep shadows.
It is amazing to me, how much she can highlight, and how much she can de-emphasize, just using that technique. (Most of the shots are to make the girls look prettier - which she accomplishes.)
I am still skeptical that Converse created this controversy on purpose. OTOH, I never discount the deep stupidity of hipster marketing people.

So was I.
It got weird toward the end. But there are a couple things that stick.
It is lucrative to be a psychology PhD in marketing--and that makes sense. They spend so much more money per photo than you would ever expect. They touchup the hell out of these photos--for things like making "Cooper" look more like "Cancer".
And that they believe such psychological theories are worth the try, even if you might not.
Vance Packard showed in his book that they were already employing psychology experts to find out how to want you to use soap a whole lot more and change your mind about what was a clean enough house.

This was made in Korea.
Korean fashion photographers and models are not dreaming up ways to subliminally insult black Americans with KKK hoods and Chucks.
The reason the point of light is on her dress is because she is standing in the middle of a spotlight in the shape of a star.
It isn’t a hood, it’s a triangle of focused light on a dress that is a composition choice not a racist message.
I’ve got photos I’ve taken of Chucks hanging on an electric wire over a street, that doesn’t mean I’m secretly into electrocuting black people, because, I guess only black people wear Converse?
People are reading way too much into what is mostly just a difference in cultural aesthetics.

There you go.
My majority "common sense" tells me, it wasn't deliberate.
However, inklings of why Converse might do this intentionally remain. Such a thing has nothing actually to do with recruiting white supremacists to wear their shoes (!!!), but possible strategies for viral marketing.
I simply don't rule the second out.
Having the mixed-race head of marketing is just a really well-placed shield.
Plus this could be seen as a way to get more conservative people to purposively buy Converse to support their brand as a reaction against lefty lunacy.

The reason the point of light is on her dress is because she is standing in the middle of a spotlight in the shape of a star.
It isn’t a hood, it’s a triangle of focused light on a dress that is a composition choice not a racist message.
==
Well there they changed the image from showing a complete star on her dress, to just the hood outline and had to remove one arm of the star to do it. It is a false image. The arm of the star if it was real should be seen in that as well. The photo is darkened and cropped. Not accidental a choice. Just because it was shot in Korea doesn't mean it wasn't edited in New York. Its an op. And part of the op is to get you to think it all just innocent and nothing to see, while the other side is freaking out because its there to be seen.

What I heard: It's because a female staff member was able to show him a bunch of stories about how Trump's "probably" banging her.
These are also a part of the outlets that were speculating that Melania's absence from the public was due to Trump beating her so badly she might have been in the hospital for a news cycle or two and had a "Melania Watch", which I think Tater was running.

Having the mixed-race head of marketing is just a really well-placed shield.
Plus this could be seen as a way to get more conservative people to purposively buy Converse to support their brand as a reaction against lefty lunacy.
==
There you go. Its like when a studio announces they are going to cancel something and the fan base rallies and goes all in. It stokes demand, albeit temporarily. Converse, now owned by Nike, a super work Parent, I wonder if they can see their demo for converse is mostly conservative types? Maybe they are thinking their will be a defensive backlash that will boost their numbers and not hurt them because those offended are not their market anyway. Yes, such calculus does occur.

The relentless retardery (redditardery?) would be astonishing if it weren't so common. "Working so hard to discontinue investigation?" That's literally inverted!
IANAL, but I believe it was an extraordinary measure, empaneling a grand jury to examine the evidence when they hadn't made a determination of foul play themselves. I'm pretty sure they usually just ask for a grand jury when there's a case they want to bring. (Maybe they should do this more often; I'm not saying it was wrong, just that it was unusual.) They bent over backwards to avoid even the appearance of bias or dismissiveness, and got no credit for it.

It's not.
But it could be viral ersatz-controversy.
IF it were intentional, they probably did both ends.
Plus if they are pro-Democrat, the Democratic party needs the White Supremacy scare every so often to convince the blacks "They're going to put you back in chains."
The Democrats are beholden to manufactured racism. They really wouldn't survive the depletion of racism scares.

I won't presume to speculate about motives, but I think you are wrong by 180 degrees on the photo production.
I think the room was very dark, and they shot with the f-stop wide open. That makes the star crisp, and the background objects dimly visible.
Further, the projection light of the star is NOT straight over the model's head. It is forward of the model and tilted back toward the model to center her in the star projection.
One arm of the star has not been removed - it is illuminating her dress and creating the "hood image".
I can't state with certainty that is NOT a false image, but it certainly CAN be created with normal lighting and normal camera option selections.

The image is CROPPED. You don't even see that "hood" as anything other than a triangular pane of light in a shadowed room unless you're mentally ill, or...
no one seems to have said it yet, but a BOT. I'm 100% sure you could feed that whole ad to a bot, give your parameters for racism and the liberty it can take in terms of cropping/zooming etc, and tell it to find something. Bot can find it.

If you look at the image with the complete star on the dress and compare the "hood". The horizontal arm of the star should be there at least in part because so much of the top point is showing. It isnt there. It has been edited. That's trivially easy to do with computer editing. Its intentional.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider, preparing for The Reckoning at September 22, 2026 03:38 PM (+Pz7P)
I'm not exactly going out on a limb here to say that the prevalent mood of a certain percentage of black Americans is rage. Not at anything they can name, of course, just, rage.
Of course they can't articulate what it is that makes them so angry, except that they believe that they should all be millionaires and the only thing keeping them from doing so are some vague accusations of "white privilege," which appears to be the privilege of working our asses off to get ahead.
I have encountered "black rage" on more than one occasion, and I have to say, that percentage of folks go from resting bitch face to swinging fists in less than a second, over anything at all, even if they have to make something up.
It is genetic in origin, but made worse by "the black community." It is truly anti-civilization.

"I didn't think they did cotton fields any more."
Where did you think the material came from for cotton jeans, t-shirts, etc.?
It is not so much that she is dumb, it is that she never stopped to think about it for even one second. I have lots of "smart" lefty friends that also never stop to think about anything.
If you acted like a third-grade teacher, and asked that lady if cotton clothes still exist, she would say yes. If you asked her where do you think they get the cotton, she would probably pause, and then quizzically answer "cotton fields".
Yet she is not capable of reaching a conclusion she "knows" without someone leading her there.
We no longer teach "thinking" in our public schools or universities.

It is genetic in origin...
You are thinking of the "Warrior Gene" or Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene.
the 'L' version, or MAOA-L stands for "low activity" and studies show that people with the low-activity gene are not automatically violent. However, they may react with higher levels of aggression when they face strong provocation or social rejection.

Born and raised in MS. I can assure you it is not 1962.
I went to school with black kids and, in fact, the highest achiever after HS, as he is a black MD and attorney and Air Force retired. Others who happened to be white achieved the same degrees after HS. He and his wife came to a reunion in 2001, when I saw him last, and he greeted me as an old friend. We had one class together and he knew what a nitwit I am.
The fact that this poor drowned boy was with white FRIENDS...the word the race baiters omit...is telling. It is no big deal anymore.
On remote Horn Island there is no fresh water, restrooms, or development. I suspect booze, dehydration from booze, and heat were a factor as well as partying like it's 2026.
I know I partied very hard in 1976 after completing my third semester of nursing school with a huge group of friends. A rite of passage for colleges.
No one drowned in our group in that reservoir. I'm not saying it would not happen. Because I don't remember who I went with and what I did other than party and swim for an entire weekend. I dove off of cliffs. Yet I lived.
