Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Virginia Judge: It's Unconstititional To Ban That a Repeat Convicted Child Sex Offender from Loitering Outside a Children's Swimming PoolThe judge is so determined to set the pedophile free to molest children that he's decided that it's "unconstitutional" to mandate that a repeat sex offender who has admitted he gets off on exposing himself to children can't, well, go into the YWMC lockers when little girls are present and expose himself. He insists that the pedophile maintains that right, and that anyone attempting to restrict him via the sex offender registry is violating the Constitution. You may say, well at least Virginia will appeal this ruling. Except the guy appealing it will be the incompetent DEI disaster Jay Jones who proudly wishes for his political opponents' children to be murdered. Even if he were to appeal it legitimately and not deliberately tank it -- he'd wind up tanking it, because he's an incompetent who only has his position and his law degree due to DEI and white guilt. This is where we are now -- pedophiles have a right to go into your children's locker rooms and show them their dick and balls.Registered sex offender Richard Cox is facing charges in Arlington County for exposing himself to women and girls in school locker rooms, but the case was thrown out by an Arlington County Circuit Court judge. For months in 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in Fairfax County and Arlington County. Those two counties allow people to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their chosen gender identity. Cox claims he's a transgender woman. "My civil rights as a transgender person allow me to use a public facility, including restrooms and changing rooms that identify as my gender," Cox can be heard saying to Fairfax County police in November 2024 on a police body-worn camera that 7News obtained. Although Fairfax County police never arrested the registered sex offender for exposing himself to women and girls in rec center locker rooms throughout the county, Arlington County police did. In 2024, Cox used women's locker rooms in two high schools and a county fitness center in Arlington. For that, the Arlington Commonwealth's Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti's office indicted the sex offender for loitering within 100 feet of schools and child swim and gymnastics classes, and exposing himself to women and girls in the locker rooms. Cox asked a judge for the indictments to be dismissed and that's what happened. Judge Daniel Lopez ruled the Virginia law under which Cox is being prosecuted void for vagueness under the Fourteenth Amendment. ... The judge's core reasoning is that the statute criminalizes "loitering" within 100 feet of schools and child day programs by some convicted sex offenders, but does not define "loitering" or give standards for when it becomes a felony.Loitering has a long-established legal meaning -- it means contriving to remain present at a place without having any legitimate business there. If you are barred by law from entering a child's swimming center, you cannot hang around the doors waiting for kids to come out. Because, what is your legitimate business at this place? You have none. You are barred from entry. Why are you there, then? This is a significant ruling because it not only found an issue with how the statute was applied to Cox. It says the statute itself is constitutionally defective. The Arlington prosecutor disagrees with the judge's decision and appealed. The Court of Appeals accepted the case, and now Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones will represent the commonwealth on appeal.Great. He brought the child porn to the children's locker rooms. Great. Note he's been a rapist and a child sexual material offender from before he "became transgender." He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven, sources claim. Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post he's still a pervy, porn-obsessed frat boy -- impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream. "Off camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I can't tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women," a former pal told The Post. Sources noted Piker regularly boasts about receiving nude photos from fans and how he claims to watch porn on a laptop dedicated to that purpose propped up on his chest so he can "still see" his penis. Piker -- who this week was banned from speaking in the UK over his extreme left-wing views -- was born in New Jersey but grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, from where his parents hail. Sources told The Post the Piker family is wealthy, but aside from a picture of a younger Hasan on a horse in full riding gear, which he himself posted, few details of his early life are known. He has said he grew up "horny in a repressed culture," until his dad allegedly helped him dodge the mandatory Turkish military draft so he could attend college in the US. At age 18 in 2009, Piker came to Miami, where after "partying too hard" and scoring a dismal grade point average of just 2.9, his mother, Ülker Sedef Piker, made him transfer to Rutgers, where she had studied art history. Piker joined a fraternity, Theta Delta Chi, and thoroughly embraced the frat boy lifestyle. In 2012, he wrote on Twitter: "The Bible for our senior year ... 30 reasons to go for freshman chicks," with a link to a sexually explicit article on TotalFratMove.com. He graduated the following year with a degree in political science. Piker loved the college lifestyle so much that when he moved to Los Angeles after college, he aimed to start a Theta Delta Chi frat house there. However, he instead went to work for his uncle, Cenk Uygur, at the Young Turks, an independent left-wing broadcast network. Enjoying his first taste of being a nepo baby, Piker was heavily promoted on the channel and his show "The Breakdown" became a success, leading to him gaining the title "woke bae" around the network.Piker has admitted going to a brothel in Germany called "Artemis." The Artemis whorehouse engages in sex trafficking and sexual imprisonment. Prostitution is legal in Germany but police charge that the four-storey brothel complex constituted a "brutal and illegal" system that severely exploited dependent women.Probably just bad luck that he chose this brothel out of Germany's many brothels.

I think this issue of a gerrymandered district "backfiring" is a live one, not just in CA-6. Depending on the electorate of a given area, in order to draw D+ districts sometimes requires some pretty slim "+" margins. Which of course don't hold in some cycles.
Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was).

Get used to this sort of thing. The Islamists share a lot of ideology with the Democrats. And not every Muslim who washes up on our shores is interested in Lerning Centers or making bombs.
Some have political aspirations. And they can do far more damage to the American fabric than running some bullshit racket stealing the taxpayers money than actively moving the political party they join more to their liking. And it's not a major pull to get the Democrats squarely on the Islamist's side. The left's takeover of America continues apace. Everywhere. All. The. Time.

I think this issue of a gerrymandered district "backfiring" is a live one, not just in CA-6. Depending on the electorate of a given area, in order to draw D+ districts sometimes requires some pretty slim "+" margins. Which of course don't hold in some cycles.
Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was).

Here's a little something I bet you didn't know about New Jersey:
For the last couple of decades they have stockpiled blood from all newborns born in the state. They, then, held onto these blood samples for 23 years, AND FREELY SHARED THESE SAMPLES WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT-STATE AND FEDERAL without a warrant. This was all done covertly until it was discovered by a clerk and word got out. The still are allowed to stockpile these blood samples for a long as 10 years (after the lawsuits)....and they still share with law enforcement under more strict guidelines (IOW, at their discretion)...and still don't require a warrant. So, if you were born in NJ in the last 3 decades, you are in the DNA database. And, there is an indication that this process began as long as 50 years ago.

So news today, afterwards.
New Jersey Monitor, 12th District Democrats trade barbs over candidate’s ties to the ‘blind sheikh,' published May 27th. In part,"Hamawy brushed off his connection to Abdel Rahman as minimal and decades-old news. He said he was young when he first encountered the blind cleric in 1991, and remembers carpooling with him and others on one occasion. Hamawy said he testified at the man’s trial out of a sense of “a civic duty.” ... "Hamawy, who was born in Egypt and moved here as a child, maintains he had no relationship with Abdel Rahman." “Any Muslim is going to be called a terrorist at some point, and these tropes are outdated and worn. Unfortunately, they continue to be used right now,” he said. “These are not serious arguments, and they’re getting old.” Reading all is recommended. Also> FBI History, WTC bombing 1993. (Note) Formerly a resident of New York City, Abdel-Rahman and nine others were convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1995.[1] His prosecution grew out of investigations of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Does it really matter who holds NJ-12? Or any deep blue district? No matter who it is, or what it is, the vote will always be the same: 100% Dumocrap party line.
The winner of NJ-12 could be a literal Hamas terrorist holding a pipe bomb. Or a Jewish guy holding a Star of David. Or a black guy. Or an AWFuL. Or Harambe or Cecil the lion. Or a cum stain seeping out of Talarico’s asshole. It just doesn’t matter. There will be no effect whatsoever on how NJ-12 votes.

It's not a completely new thing but the whole policy of members of Congress having automatic investigation-free security clearances really really needs to be revisited.
Then again, after the jaw-dropping thing of the IC snooping on the Senate intel committee, and then that committee's members leaking/coordinating nonsense to (of course) hurt Trump - all of these things without consequences - there are no standards or discipline or honor or anything any more.

think this issue of a gerrymandered district "backfiring" is a live one, not just in CA-6. Depending on the electorate of a given area, in order to draw D+ districts sometimes requires some pretty slim "+" margins. Which of course don't hold in some cycles.
Those following things closely would have details. I think VA's abortive redistricting actually contained 2 to 3 very slim/dicey "D+" districts (this is what can happen when a 53-47 state is supposed to be represented by 10-1 ratio in the House, or whatever it was). Posted by: rhomboid This is also the case in Florida. A lot of the redrawn “red” districts are very slim red. And based off 2024 votes. In 2026 some these could well be blue if just a small % of 2024 voters switch. It’s easy to make Mass 9-0 because there are only 9 seats. But with a state as big as Florida (both geographically and population wise) or California there’s only so much juice you can squeeze out of gerrymandering before it starts backfiring.

Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill's debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady whom she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off. Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book, "A View from the East Wing," with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage. Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up to give her husband a standing ovation when the ex-president's seemingly unplanned speech began. "I have a question," Biden said unprompted, and without a microphone, while flanked by security guards. "Joe has a question, like you couldn't ask it later?" Jill responded.Christmas, this is embarrassing. "Whoopi," Jill answered, causing the audience to break into laughter. As "The View" co-host tried to speak, Biden continued to stand and blankly face his wife, seemingly unhappy with her answer. The former first lady eventually caved and said, "I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Was that the answer he wanted?" "It's overwhelming, isn't it?" the 46th president continued -- barely audible without a microphone. "Overwhelming, well, that's what keeps him on his toes, he's never 100% sure, I always keep him guessing, is that not true?" Jill said as her husband lowered his head and made the sign of the cross. In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill's new book. But Biden remained standing and pointed his finger as the exit music played.Her vagina goes "vroom, vroom." You should hear it.
Alex ThompsonI'm sure the Democrats will love that.

Is this dementia? Maybe, maybe not. Biden has always been an incredible jackass. He believes he's a charming raconteur and keen Irish wit. He babbles on about Corn Pop and his days as an All-American Football Hero and thinks the audience is rapt.
He's always been a subnormal-IQ buffoon. So this isn't new. He thinks he's really accomplishing something here. His dementia addled brain still can't handle the fact that he's not the center of attention anymore. Jill is stealing his limelight and he thinks there's something he should be doing about it, but isn't sure what. Just wait until you see her when Joe finally kicks the bucket.

Addendum to my last. Actually, I went back and looked AFTER posting that.
Biden 2008 vs 2012 is a big difference. His face is stretched like the Joker. But then in 2016 he looks closer to "slightly older version of 2008" Biden. Then in 2020 he looks like "slightly older version of 2012 Biden" Then in 2024 he looks like death. Posted by: Shenanigans at June 03, 2026 03:38 PM (qmxL/) 34

Let's hope so: @overton_news · 5h Gavin Newsom’s own gerrymander may have just backfired spectacularly. California’s 6th Congressional district — that was recently “redrawn” by Newsom to help Democrats — now has an independent and a Republican in the top two spots to advance in the primary. CNN: “California’s 6th Congressional district right now, this is one of the districts that was redrawn because Democrats thought it would be a good pickup opportunity.” “Kevin Kiley is the incumbent. He’s an independent now, but he was a Republican, and he’s definitely not a Democrat.” “And the first two people in this race right now, and the top two advance, are the independent and the Republicans, NOT the Democrat.” “Still, only 50% counted right now. But how nervous are Democrats here that they might be boxed out of this district they DREW as a pickup?” This might go down as one of Newsom’s most brutal self-inflicted owns of all time.

Jill has to be in the top 10 of evil women of all time. radio talk show played a couple of her clips yesterday but didn't even bring up the continued abuse of poor demented Joe. Well Joe was or is evil too. I dont know if being so mentally lost has made him no longer evil or not, so no empathy for Joe from me. But that audience clapped for the evil statements, and not embarrassed, slight clapping.

Biden talked about stuttering routinely, forever.
The Stuttering Foundation, 2015 (In part) During a CNN town hall, President Joe Biden discussed stuttering. Here are some of his remarks from the event: "It has nothing to do with your intelligence quotient. It has nothing to do with your intellectual makeup," Biden said. "You know, stuttering, when you think about it, is the only handicap that people still laugh about. That still humiliate people about. And they don't even mean to." The President credited his mother when it came to not letting his stutter define him. He said his mother would tell him, "Joey, don't let this define you. Joey, remember who you are. Joey, you can do it. So every time I would walk out, she would reinforce me. I know that sounds silly, but it really matters." An inspiration, he is.

Should be obviously thrown out with a summary judgement but with the politically biased judges we have these days it's possible the court could double any award.
--- Judge Cha-tuka Kaka Chunken is the judge overseeing the lawsuit to release the Biden audio tapes. The wife of the judge that just ordered Trump's name be removed from the Trump-Kennedy Center is arguing that, since Joe was such a good boy and cooperated with Hur, there is no reason to release the audio tapes. That we don't need the audio and should just rely upon the summary of the conversations as presented by the man who cleared Biden of all wrong-doing.

74 >>>52 I love her claiming she went to bed thinking Kamala had won and was shocked to find out in the morning Trump won... I don't remember any time on election night when Kamala was ahead .... So... Lie
in fairness they got to bed at 5pm Posted by: ace at June 03, 2026 03:47 PM (1wjle) _____________________ At about 11:30pm - Midnight, Harris released a comment from campaign headquarters (Trump was running the table quite obviously at the time). Harris said that she was optimistic, and they'd look at it again around 3am to decide where we are. IOW, the fraud should be doing exactly what it did for Biden in 2020, come from behind shennanigans across the board. ONLY, the fraud never kicked in. I think there are a number of reasons for this (such as the Trump campaign learned to stop whining about the cheating and address it directly when it appears)...so they called off the big cheat in the wee hours. The Bidens thought it was business as usual, and were surprised that Trump won the next morning...not out of optimism, but out of preparation. Posted by: Orson at June 03, 2026 04:14 PM (dIske) 190
Of course! From the Daily Caller:
Former First Lady Jill Biden appeared to admit in her memoir that she knew about Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel before her husband, the then-president of the United States did. The former first lady released her memoir on Tuesday detailing her time in the White House with former President Joe Biden. On the morning of the Oct. 7 attack in the Middle East, the former first lady writes that an aide texted her asking if her husband was awake because he needed to jump on a call with the National Security Council. (RELATED: Jill Biden Dethroned As America’s ‘Lady Macbeth’ “Then, very early on the morning of Saturday, October 7, 2023, I was grading midterms when the staff texted me and asked if Joe was up yet – he had to get on the phone with the National Security Council,” Biden writes.

Don't criticize Joe Biden!
Obama and Pelosi carefully planned out the 2024 coup - Biden was going to be forced to withdraw from the Presidential race, and then the Democrats were going to conduct a "mini-primary" to replace Kamala with someone electable. Joe screwed that up by immediately endorsing Kamala as his replacement, making it impossible to replace Kamala with a white guy like Barack and Nancy were planning. Joe deliberately f***ed over the Democrats as revenge for Barack and Nancy's perfidy. You go, Joe! Posted by: The ARC of History! at June 03, 2026 04:32 PM (aD4fx) 262

Democrats found a guy named Dan Sullivan, the same name as the current junior Senator (currently running for re-election), and persuaded him to file a jungle primary challenge.

Jill: You got diarrhea in my book! Joe: You got book in my diarrhea! (Both become intensely thoughtful, sensing a new opportunity.) Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at June 03, 2026 04:45 PM (azNOR) California Primary ResultsAlthough California will take days or weeks to full tabulate the " " " votes " " ", it appears that Karen Bass will take about 35% of the vote, Spencer Pratt will take 30%, and communist carpetbagger foreigner Nithya Raman 22%. That means that Bass and Pratt will go on to the general election, which will be held on November 3rd. Unless Karen Bass's fraudulent vote elves can print up enough fake votes to get her over 50%, in which case she wins immediately. But I think that's too big a lift even for the Democrat fraudsters of the Home of "Ballot Harvesting," California. Ugh:Byron YorkAssuming they can't "harvest" enough "votes" to get to 50%... When I saw those numbers, my first thought was "that's terrible, that means the communist vote is 52% combined and Spencer Pratt will lose." However... Karen Bass is the incumbent and could not manage but a tiny bit more than one third support. An incumbent with 35% support is an incumbent in trouble. Not all of Nithya Raman's voters will migrate to Bass -- after all, they're choosing against the obvious leftwing candidate, the incumbent, for a reason. Also... the fact that we've established that the total universe for votes for leftwing candidates is right around 52% is bad news for Bass. That's her ceiling. It's a low ceiling. Regarding the governor's race: the top two vote-getters were Obama/Biden non-entity and incompetent Xavier Bercerra and British FoxNews populist commentator Steve Hilton. Deranged billionaire Tom Steyr and Republican sheriff Chad Bianco finished beneath them. Given that there are still votes to count, and anything can happen in a Democrat-controlled 5th Quarter of voting, it's possible that either of those two could slip into the top two. There have been reports that Xavier Bercerra used dubious means such as bots to boost the impression that he was the front-runner. It seems to have worked, and there's nothing to be done about that now. But bots aren't going to put him over the top in the general election -- that will require real fraudulent votes. Other Democrats have already conceded defeat, including college teacher and the Native American demonic Spirit of Ravening Hunger, Fat Wendigo Katie Porter. ![]()

An incumbent with 35% support is an incumbent in trouble.
====== It's true. Sort of like Cornyn in Texas. However, Los Angeles. I don't think the point of Pratt's run in LA is to win. I mean...he seems to think he can do it, and all the best to him. However, I think the point is to break the cognitive dissonance of the middle and lower-upper classes in the city. "I don't know anyone who voted for Bass...and she won. That doesn't make sense." I think best case scenario out of CA this year is enough Republicans make enough statewide and large city ballots to juice Republican turnout statewide. This will make winning federal House races easier and, perhaps more importantly, state legislature races.

L.A. city is big, but it's the county that people are really thinking of when they think of L.A. and there's much more to L.A. county than L.A. city.

Narrator: Bass will win with over 60% of the vote in November.
A lot of sane people who would vote for Pratt left LA long ago. Those who remain are the biggest believers in all the left wing shit and/or vote by race/ethnicity. Blacks will vote 99.98% Bass and Hispanics will mostly vote against the evil white man. Then you have the Karens and Hollywood types who think a Republican will put all gays in concentration camps. Posted by: Heroq at June 03, 2026 02:49 PM (Tpp9k) 77
Those 22% who voted for the commie candidate ain't voting for Pratt. Pratt needed at least 40% to mathematically have a chance in the general imo.

Ace, the LA Mayor's race is set: It will be Bass vs Spencer.
Earlier last night, Spencer was midway between Bass and Raman, vote-wise, and pundits were hoping that Raman cukld catch up to Spencer. Oops. As the votes rolled in, the opposite happened -- Spencer started gaining on Bass, and leaving Raman in the dust. If this trend continues to the final vote is counted, Spencer will actually come in FIRST, not second. That probably won;'t happen, and is a moot point anyway, but by the morning it was almost 100% lock-solid clear that Spencer was heading to the runoff, as Raman fades.

6 I think there's a good chance they can and will fraud up enough votes to get the deformed frog-faced retard over 50% to win outright. I don't think they want to run any kind of risk that Pratt somehow wins on election day.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 03, 2026 02:35 PM (iFTx/) I respectfully disagree. As I have observed in Oregon, the infighting between leftists can be fierce -- some because they're fighting for a bigger slice of the grift (and they would cut a bitch over a fiver found on the pavement), others because they're true believers (and their politics is basically a crypto-religious cult). No doubt Raman's supporters on the inside of the election fraud machine will fall in line for the general, but I can't picture them folding and rolling over before it's over. Posted by: SciVo at June 03, 2026 02:52 PM (Sy6m/) 90
I will say this, this is the last election where CA will be able to count ballots received after Election Day.
yes, I know DOOM is mother's milk around here, but I just don't see any way SCOTUS allows post-election ballots to be counted. Do I think CA will say, "yeah, but that only applies to federal elections." Yes. And then SCOTUS will issue shadow docket that, if CA wants to do that, they'll have to send out separate ballots for state and local elections, apart from the fed ballot. Will CA go full retard and do that? Probably. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 03, 2026 02:52 PM (73/SM) 91

Go into the Wine Mom areas -- Brentwood, Los Feliz, Encino, Palos Verdes. Set up in the parks and gated communities where Bass Blight is a million miles away and talk about whatever the hell it is that those people care about -- social justice? Maybe point out the fraud that could have been spent on women's shelters? Show what Blacks and Hispanics have to endure (Echo Park is an atrocity) while they fan themselves over a leisurely Frappuccino? Bring a few genuine Inner City dwellers with them to lay down some facts? I'd like to see him talk to the people who are allergic to the letter R.

That's Louisiana's jungle primary system. California's doesn't have the 50% automatic winner provision.
exactly what Pratt has done is frankly miraculous and has ALREADY prevented the DSA candidate (backed by the same people that brought Mamdami to NYC) from moving on. THIS IS MASSIVE Bass will have to govern at least a teeny bit more sensibly .. if the top two were the commie ladies, that would have been it for LA. it would have been donesies Spencer gives them a chance, even if he loses in the general. but .. he could also win!

Posted by: polynikes at June 03, 2026 02:49 PM (WNOcj) ====== I have no hope that Hilton or Pratt will win the generals, but it should be noted that turnout is very different in the primary and the general. About 7 million voted in the gubernatorial primary in 2022 and about 11 million voted in the general. Newsom slightly outran his primary results, but he was also an incumbent. Will the general include increased enthusiasm from Republicans who feel like they have more than just a sacrificial lamb in major races? I'd say it'll probably be enough to make it closer but...Democrats still win both races by at least 10 or so as opposed to 20.

However, I'm not so optimistc about the general election. As buzz-worthy as Spencer is, L.A.'s Dem-to-GOP voter registration is 4-to-1 -- meaning, for every Republican voter, there are FOUR Democratic voters.
That is almost impossible to surmount. THe Dems could run a blue dg, a yellow dog, or an incompetent communist buffoon who traveled to Cuba in 1973 and got trainng from the KGB in terrorism tactics and guerrilla warfare to overthrow the United States (oh wait, that's exactly what the Democrats have done) and still probably win easily.

I grew up in SoCal. One other thing prior to November that works against Bass and Newsome (the face of the Democrat party in CA), is what always happens in California this time of year - Fires, and lots of them. The whole state goes on fire and these bozos have a hard time putting out a lit match. I have a very hard time believing that they and their fellow Marxist suddenly become competent between now and then.

So many times over the last few months have I see, "Republicans don't turn out! See this results in this state-house special election on a Saturday in the snow? It's obvious that Republicans aren't enthused and won't turn out!" But then when Republicans do turn out at higher numbers proportionally, it gets ignored. Why do we have people focusing on the latter and not the former? (For the record...neither are predictive. I'm just noting the selective choice of what to focus on in comments that betray anything like objective measures, even when people are trying to make it seem like they use objective measures.)

The Oregon Farm Bureau says most concerning for agriculture, IP28 would redefine “sexual assault” to include routine animal breeding practices across all species and even domestic companion animals.

You put yourself forward as an option for the people to choose, for a definitionally temporary term in office. They have no obligation to choose you, and you have no right to expect to be chosen. Being emotionally unsettled because you lost an election means you were, and are, completely unfit for public office of any kind. Posted by: Warai-otoko at June 03, 2026 03:33 PM (Ot/FD) 215

I think turn-out will be the difference in the run-offs. At this point, if your are a conservative in California (or even a right leaning voter/ middle of the road)...you're likely going to sit out the primary thinking "we're already f*cked...there is no hope".
But, lo and behold, the primary results are showing a spark of hope. That gets previously hopeless sad sacks a bit of a jump start. I would be surprised to see the turn-out in the next step of these elections setting records....especially in the Governor's race. LA is a closed society where the idiots outnumber the semi-idiots by a significant number. Posted by: Orson at June 03, 2026 03:36 PM (dIske) 220

You know what wasn't brought up in the LA primary? The 28 Olympics. Bass is already on record stating that she will not allow driving to any event. The events are scattered across a huge expanse of LA County. Having her essentially in charge of the Olympics will be an unmitigated disaster.
The flip side of that coin is that she can only control the venues in the city of Los Angeles, and it may be a disaster even with Pratt at the helm. Posted by: Grudge Harbor at June 03, 2026 04:01 PM (yFLFB) 222

I watched a documentary on Jane Goodall and they showed a vid she took of the mating habits of the chimp population. When the females go into heat -- or whatever they call it -- they just bend over and allow every male in the group to mate with them. The males literally just line up for their turn. Very odd.

I grew up in SoCal. One other thing prior to November that works against Bass and Newsome (the face of the Democrat party in CA), is what always happens in California this time of year - Fires, and lots of them.

Posted by: Oldcat at June 03, 2026 04:53 PM (8avO+) Scorned Woman Pelley Shrieks OutAdam KlasfeldDoes he though...? Dylan ByersHe was given a standing ovation by the other communist cultists in the room, which they were eager to tell the media that they were sure Nick Bilton could hear as he was walking away. And now: the bitch has been fired. And I mean fired. CBS didn't just let his contract lapse without renewal, which they were obviously already planning to do. Fired for cause, invalidating whatever time is left on his contract, and ending their obligation to pay him under it. Gross insubordination is almost always a cause for a firing under the terms of a contract, and CBS exercised their right to fire for that reason. And Pelley left them no choice. But this wasn't bravery. Again, he knew he was being let go. This flounce is all advertising for his substack and podcast, which I'm sure will be fair and objective, because that's what Scott Pelley insists he is. CBS News axed veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after after the longtime network star blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and challenged her newly installed leadership team in a heated confrontation that exposed the widening civil war inside the iconic newsmagazine. In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired "for cause effective immediately." "[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt," Bilton wrote, referring to Monday's heated face-off between the journo and his boss.By the way, Sex Machine Brian Stelter reported that Bilton had asked to meet with Pelley privately, before the meeting, to discuss next steps. Pelley refused to attend a private meeting, choosing instead this flouncing public tantrum. Brian StelterI think Pelley refused to attend that meeting because he expected they would tell him his contract was not being renewed "but we can talk about what your role will be as we wind down the time remaining on the contract." And I have a source for that -- the source is It's F***ing Obvious, Jack! Open your ears, Jerky! "I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama," Bilton wrote.Nick Bilton had no choice. If an underling pulls bullshit like this, degrading you, undermining you, and attempting to pose as your superior, you have no choice but to fire him. Gross insubordination can't be tolerated in any organization, even as trivial and inconsequential one as television entertainment. (Which is all 60 Minutes is.) And now -- He's quitting Twitter and he means it this time, guys! He's written a long ranty entry in his Slam Book and he wants you all to read it! Scott Pelley accused CBS News management under Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of trying to inject "falsehoods and bias" into reporting after the veteran correspondent was fired Tuesday. Pelley, who spent 37 years at CBS News and became one of the most recognizable faces of "60 Minutes," leveled a series of extraordinary allegations against CBS News leadership without giving specifics. "For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," Pelley wrote. "I've been told to include assertions that are unverified."Let me translate that for you. The media decided ten years ago that Republicans were Nazis and that they could no longer report "both sides" because there are not two legitimate sides -- there is the Democrat side, and there is Evil. Bari Weiss had previously demanded the CECOT story be held up so that she could receive comment from the targets of the hit-piece. Democrat operative Sheryl Alfonsi freaked -- You can't include comment from Trump! He is the Antichrist! His words are the lies of the Devil! But of course getting and publishing comment or denial from the target of a hit piece had been standard ethical media practice... until ten years ago. Bari Weiss demanded a return to the former media practice, which was still biased as hell but at least they'd include a denial at the end of the story, read with unmistakable contempt. That's what Scott Pelley is shrieking out about -- he won't include the "lies and falsehoods" in his story, aka "the denial and comment from the Trump Administration officials he is running political hit pieces against." Scott Pelley is so obviously a grandstanding bitch that even fired, disgraced CNN Thumb Chris Ciilizza sees through it. Cillizza admits that his media pals are a guild of dinosaurs who just can't accept the public has been increasingly rejecting them for ten years and that they need to change:

Since I haven't watched network television since the first two digits of the year were 19, I don't get exposed all that often to these twisted freaks, but from clips I see on X or YT, every one of them I have heard from is somewhere to the left of Marx.
I mean that literally. I have seen numerous clips of so called newscasters calling for the death or at least imprisonment of everyone who ever voted for Trump.

r/TheBulwark
Serious question: Why couldn’t The Bulwark make a run at Scott Pelley? It would be costly, but why not hire him to host a “Bulwark Investigates?” It fits with the mission. I know the thought of this gives JVL a woody. Could The Bulwark partner with someone? “The Bulwark Investigates, presented by Netflix.” He's likely in a position where he doesn't need the money and can do what he wants. This includes association with 'new media' outlets like The Bulwark, or his own channel/content outlet. This is more likely than him showing up somewhere like MSNOW or ABC News. I would really prefer to see PBS or NPR pick him up. NPR has gotten far more liberal democracy since they stopped relying on keeping politicians happy (PBS has remained great, it was under less of a microscope). I recommend checking them out if you thought they were too wish washy in recent years. We don't need Bulwark news, we need Bulwark music. The pro democracy playlist. Give the art back to the artists so the kids can get motivated to do good things. The one thing MAGA and MAGA-adjacent world does not seem to get is the Streisand Effect.

And when he gets fired, Pelley will cut a video announcing he is starting a Substack where he will engage in "fearless" commentary about the capitulation of CBS (and all other media) to Trump and the almighty dollar.
And that Substack will immediately rack up lots and lots of subscribers. And Pelley will make money. Maybe lots of it. (We've seen this exact arc play out repeatedly in recent years.) Name one time this has happened...... Don Lemon isn't 'racking up lots of subscribers' and making money. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at June 03, 2026 01:37 PM (Zz0t1) 94

In important news (Little League Baseball): Little had a dominating 1st playoff game last night, after an initial slow start pitching, giving up 2 runs, in the first inning, before fielding tightened up. He followed that with a textbook bunt, advancing the runner, as we went up 4-2. He followed that inning up, dispensing the next six batters over two innings, with two strikeouts, and a 1-3.
His hitting was on fire, and he followed up with a double and a single for 5 RBIs on the night, which ended 16-4 in the middle of 4 (10 run rule). Next up. they face the #1 on Thursday. Posted by: Jackie Chiles at June 03, 2026 01:41 PM (dK+Kv) 127

The problem with an entire media ecosystem (broadcast news) being monolithic politically is that they all blend together and no one is special. No single institution within the ecosystem actually matters very much, especially to the people outside it.
How important is 60 Minutes? Probably about as important as 2-3 MSNBC daytime shows put together. Which is to say....not that important. Because they all say the exact same things. 60 Minutes just says it slower and with better lighting. It's not unique in terms of the actual content. It's actually extremely derivative, taking stories from months before and saying them again but with more serious framing. Losing a player in that game...doesn't matter. What matters is taking that institution and making it sound different from the rest. Which is what Weiss is doing. And that's the real sin.

I remember when Stahl interviewed Trump and Trump told her that Obama's goons spied on his campaign. Stahl responded by rolling her eyes and saying that claim was unverified and this was 60 Minutes and they don't push unverified information. Posted by: JackStraw ============== Do Weiss and Bilton really want to recapture some numbers? Are they really ready to act on the decline of 60 Minutes-style reporting? Are they fixin' to bust paradigms, boldly go where no journalist has gone before? Then do this: Expose their own asses. Go back for 10 years to the biggest, most egregious lies and correct the record. "TONIGHT! CBS News uncovers... CBS News." If the original "reporters" refuse to cooperate -- give them the Pelley. Posted by: Stateless - He ain't heavy, he's my dog at June 03, 2026 01:38 PM (Sco7b) That's exactly the other type of thing they should expose.

-- Like all the J6 prosecutors running for office as Democrats. And not just as Democrats, hard left Democrats. Bragging about how viciously they prosecuted Republicans (and Trump, by proxy). Which would be like Robert Byrd campaigning on "crosses burned." Same party, same tactic: Political terrorism is qualification enhancement for office.

Oldest is not doing too shabby either in American Legion 15U. He now leads his team in stolen bases at 9 over two games, with 5 BBs and one single.
His primary position is catcher, and he looked absolutely fabulous (hair and performance) blocking nearly everything after we spent some time the day before his first game refreshing his blocking basics, his pops are fast, and his throwdowns are fast, flat, and accurate. He accidentally hit a kid in the face, ahead of 2B, when the kid didn't slide, but the throw was dead on. and clearly beat the runner by a half step. He's looking like the best catcher in the league we have faced thus far, and he's worked hard at doing so, setting the bar for his team's other catcher, who is respectable in his own right. Alternately in CF/LF, he's fast and has a good glove, recording a couple fly outs and no errors yet fielding. And his hair is the object of all the ladies' attention, the poor girls.

He never had a trace of a "stutter". Ridiculous. He was famously the most insufferable blabbermouth in a group where that's saying something.

The other team was outrageous, egregious, preposterous.
Posted by: ... at June 03, 2026 01:51 PM (vQBGy) The ump surely was. Ugh. Couldn't get a called strike, for either team, and he was one of our local middle school boys. Little and our batters noted that many strikes were called balls. He was consistent, but it sucks for the other team, even though it wouldn't have mattered, except psychologically and emotionally, to go away thinking that they got beat by the ump, while we get the reputation of being that team who advanced on bad, local umping. We've been on the other side of that, and it sucks for guys at this level. Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at June 03, 2026 02:00 PM (dK+Kv) 257

Aides don't run the Senate.
In some cases with decrepit senators like Mitch, staff can have outsize influence, especially on committees. And depending on the topic, some aides can have material influence on some members. So it all depends, but very far from staff running things. The Tuesday lunch with the members gossiping and kibbitzing has more impact than staff for many of them, in many cases. All this from years of being there, which was years ago. Posted by: rhomboid at June 03, 2026 02:04 PM (U/Byj) 279

Well aware of the mid-term pattern. Just disgusted/surprised/not really surprised that the country can only bestir itself once every half-century or so. The trauma of 9/11 and the inevitable idiocy of the Dems produced 2002. I'd count the unprecedented slaughter of 2010 (from county to fed) along with '02 and '34 (?) as counter to the pattern, 2010 because of the tone and extent of the revolt.

The retirements eliminated the advantage of incumbency, yes, but this was more of an effect of the overall strategy the party establishment took to dealing with Trump rather than the actual cause of the poor midterm results (which were out of step with economic indicators).

Yes. The bill is IP28 and it goes well beyond hunting and fishing including bans on all livestock agriculture and animal husbandry. Every moron in Portland, Eugene and Salem will vote for it.

Was the sexting with 6-12 women the "much, much worse"? Or is there more? Apparently there's more. The really toxic stuff hasn't been released yet. No one is saying it but it sounds like they're hinting about the r-word, and I don't mean his already established racism. This seems to be hinting about sexual misconduct of some kind.The latest is the sexting scandal wherein Platner texted sexually explicit messages to a half-dozen to a dozen women. The original report was about a dozen women and the campaign says it was only about a half-dozen. From there came revelations that Platner has been on a social site called Kik, which is a favorite site of predators. And, bubbling to the surface are allegations that Platner might have left school for alarming reasons -- those are being whispered about right now.Could cheating or an honor code violation be an "alarming reason"? I don't think so. It sounds like something more serious. He writes about the various people shifting blame for Graham Platner's serial infidelity to the staffer who tipped the media after the texts were shared by his wife. This includes a Washington Post "reporter," who took the odd position that the source who revealed relevant information about a political candidate should be shunned and banned from employment. That doesn't sound like a "reporter." That sounds like a Democrat Party fixer determined to punish those who leak the truth about Nazi candidates: ![]() ... The man has a Nazi tattoo. He said soldiers in combat deserved to die. He blamed Susan Collins for sending him to war, despite volunteering repeatedly, even going back with Blackwater. He bragged about killing people. He fantasized about rape and said rape victims deserved some blame. He bragged about taking leave to have sex with prostitutes in Southeast Asia. And he claimed he can't get in a porta-potty without masturbating and fantasizing.I didn't hear about the fantasies about rape, but it's very ominous when combined with the next sentence: Soon we'll get the even worse allegations against him and what he did to women beyond fantasy. Just remember that the Democrats have stuck with him. Eventually, the PodBros, Bulwark, and the rest will abandon Graham Platner. Once they're done blaming the Jews, the victims, the women around Platner, the Republicans, and others -- they'll abandon him. What's coming will force them to abandon him. And when they finally flee, remember they were comfortable with him through all of these things -- things that all point to where the next accusations will be.I can't wait for the Tucker Carlson interview. Obviously I don't know anything about this, but I am able to read words and infer the meanings they're implying. Now I wondered, if there's an absolutely radioactive attack coming, why is it being held? The primary is in six days, next Tuesday. But of course Janet Mills has announced she remains a candidate in the race, albeit one whose campaign is suspended. So Democrats could abandon Platner and vote for Mills instead. So I think this hit is being held until after they're locked into Platner, after they've chained themselves to his stinking corpse. Or who knows, maybe this is a false op designed to scare Democrats off of Platner. I guess we'll see. In his interview with Two-Way, he says that classmates are talking about the reasons for his ejection from Hotchkiss, and "reporters are circling," and, once again, "women" specifically are talking about it. Why would women in particular be talking about it if it's just about, say, an underaged DUI? Seems that the allegations have something specifically to do with women.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's whiz-kid spin doctor -- under fire for allegedly threatening a whistleblowing ex-staffer to US Senate hopeful Graham Platner -- brazenly admitted to blasting out nude photos of himself in a resurfaced blog post. Morris Katz, the 27-year-old campaign guru who helped catapult Mamdani to Gracie Mansion, made the bizarre confession while defending disgraced former California lefty Rep. Katie Hill in a November 2019 blog post after she quit Congress. The openly bisexual ex-lawmaker resigned that month amid a storm of affair allegations involving multiple staffers -- and right after a trove of leaked nude photos were published online.This guy is "openly bisexual"? ![]()
Washington Free BeaconSo he's an expert on Curious Boys, huh? Full story from the Washington Free Beacon: In 2020 Katz wrote a children's book--through a publishing house owned by his mother--called Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty--and Shouldn't Be Googling: For Curious Boys. The book includes sections on "Your New Penis," "The Magic of Masturbation," and "Toxic Masculinity." In March, Politico reported that on page 17 of the book, next to a chart discussing the phases of puberty, Katz wrote: "At first, we were going to use images of my penis to get this point across, but the publisher said it was inappropriate so here we are."I imagine he'll say this is a joke, but I don't think it's a joke to tell children that you would like to show them your penis. I think that's grooming and hinting around to gauge interest.

However, every indication is that Platner is running away with it. There's the added wrinkle that it's Maine law that parties can switch out nominees after a primary for up to a month after the primary, so the real deadline is July 9.

Bangor Daily News: Democratic strategists are beginning to worry that Graham Platner could weigh on the party’s midterm prospects.
Regular Mainers aren't worried at all. We are fired up to elect Graham Platner and kick Susie "Concern Troll" Colins to the curb. I’m riding with Platner. Susan Collins is 1,000 years old and betrayed our country with her decision to support Supreme Court nominees who then destroyed women’s reproductive rights. She is basically an undercover Trump loyalist. Do Democrats realize every hit piece they put out against Platner makes me want to vote for him even more. We literally have a child rapist for a president and supposedly some 20 year old Reddit comments and texts are supposed to be disqualifying? The most recent sexting revelation isn’t going to change much, because if this is disqualifying for you, the tattoo was already disqualifying; if the tattoo wasn’t disqualifying, this isn’t either. No one is perfect. No one is going to pass your purity test. Let’s learn from the mistake they made with Al Franken.

Looks like the Collins people have the Democrats on the horns of a dilemma - the Democrats probably know what the big story to come is, but if they release it now to shift votes to Mills it will depress general election enthusiasm amongst the Democratic base for Mills. But if they don't then the Collins people will release it after the legal deadline to replace Platner on the ballot and he will be a dead duck. Naturally, the fix for them is to have a partisan Judge find a reason why it's OK this time to swap candidates after the statutory deadline like they have every other time this has happened.

146 Should Platner prevail in the primary, Maine has provisions where the Democratic party can override the results and substitute in a candidate more fitting and less radioactive. They have to get Platner to step down some time in early June, then by the fourth week of June they put forth their preferred candidate - electorate be damned.
Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at June 03, 2026 12:45 PM (N39Ws) ===== Platner will not willingly drop out, and the party is coalescing behind him at the national level already a week before the primary. They're not replacing him. They're accepting the inevitable. And they will fundraise off of him through ActBlue while sending the funds to NC and GA instead.

155 >>Quite the Platner anti-diary there. Do you think the Dems care? None of this matters to them, as long as he votes Lefty once he gets in.
I think you misjudge a large number of Democrats in Maine. They are not all LA or NYC Democrats, many of them are old timey Yankee Democrats and don't much care for Nazis and other lunatics.

He was a 14 year old black kid that went into an Asia guy, Rick Cow's, shop. As far as I can piece it together, he picked up some water bottles and then left the store. The store owner and his son didn't see him put them down before leaving so they confronted him thinking he stole them. The kid flashed a gun, then the son chased the kid, and the father followed both and ended up shooting the kid arguing in court that he thought the kid would shoot his son.

The destruction of Swalwell and soon Platner just shows how inept the GOP is at oppo-research. We have to rely on Dem infighting to expose these people.
O'Keefe has been a major success by just getting attractive young men and women to flirt with Dems and let them spill the beans. The GOP could do the same thing and get the same result. But there is a cautionary tale. Remember Chris Hansen? He was nailing pedo after pedo until he revealed someone with connections and now he's doing podcasts because he is radioactive in the media.

Gayer than Barney Fwank. Posted by: Rev Dr E Buzz PhD Esq at June 03, 2026 12:28 PM (och2J) Scott Weiner being gay doesn't bother me. What bothers me about Scott Weiner is that nearly every piece of legislation he's pushed through the California House has been directly or indirectly aimed at sexualizing children and making them more accessible to adults. It's the one common thread throughout his entire state legislative history. He shouldn't be anywhere near playgrounds and schools. Regarding Platner's scandals, they only hurt him insofar as the women who he's used and abused were affected. The Totenkopf tattoo, the communism, the chronic masturbation, et al can all be forgiven, even celebrated (especially the communism). It's just odd to me that Platner in Maine, Weiner in California, and Talarico in Texas are the best the Dems can offer voters. They couldn't find even one candidate in their respective states who could pass for a normal human. Posted by: troyriser at June 03, 2026 01:17 PM (v1M8F) 286

Surprise!, A New York Times report published in May 2026 disclosed that the family covered the costs for the medical procedures, flights, and lodging in Norway. After the media reports, Platner's campaign officially acknowledged that the candidate's father and in-laws had indeed financed the arrangement. Note that Platner may be on 100% VA disability for TDIU. "Wife" is being paid by his campaign ($1,800 twice a month). They also don't wanna f-up the very comfy life they're living either. But why, WHY would that woman try to get pregnant by him? 😬 (That's one weird mother-son relationship he's in.) He's not been "right' forever.

Posted by: Editor at June 03, 2026 02:37 PM (buFmI) Wednesday Morning Rant![]() There are a couple of companies that help summarize the dot-com bubble. One was an outfit called "Internet Capital Group," which was a business-to-business eCommerce holding company and venture capital firm. It had about $70 million in revenues when it went public in August of 1999 at $12 per share. The price doubled on the first day and gave the company a $3 billion market cap. By the end of the month, it had increased nearly five-fold to $58 per share. By the end of the year, the stock price had gained over 2700% and was the most successful IPO of the year. It reached a peak market valuation of over $50 billion. The stock split in its first six months. By the end of 2001, the company was a penny stock. By the end of 2002, the company had a market cap of around $200 million and it finally liquidated in 2018 after shambling along as a zombie for more than a decade, shedding most of its properties along the way. This dot-com high-flier was a pure bubble stock, and billions of credulous investor dollars evaporated in its cash furnace. On the other side, there were the real dot-com companies like Cisco Systems. Cisco was - and is - a real company. A real company with real products and real customers and real revenues. As the dominant manufacturer of network switching equipment, the explosive growth of the internet resulted in a lot of sales for Cisco. At the peak of the dot-com excesses in March of 2000, this company that made the tools other bubble companies needed had a stock price of around $80 share and a market cap of over half a trillion dollars - a hell of a run in its decade as a public company, given that it started with a quarter-billion-dollar market cap when it went public in 1990. This year marks the first year that Cisco has managed to regain its prior value of around half a trillion dollars. Nominal. Inflation-adjusted, it's still nowhere close to where it peaked. Beyond just the financials of the bubble players, there was the wider mania that helped fuel it. The number of estimated users for internet companies in the late 90s totaled to more people than existed on the planet - by a decently wide margin. The sky wasn't the limit, there was simply no limit at all. Anything was possible, and the internet was going to do it all, however absurd it sounded. Everyone believed, and everyone got rich. Right up until the whole thing collapsed like a dying star. The internet wasn't fake, and it wasn't unimportant. Its value, however, was totally disconnected from reality and the promises everyone made had no way to be fulfilled. It ended the only way it could, with the stark reminder that no player is safe during that kind of mania. Whether a long-shot startup or a major, established and very real company or even the narrative itself, the collapse of a mania takes out everybody. Even the survivors walk away extremely bloody. Flash forward thirty years, and it's happening again. AI is driven by companies with massive valuations, lots of promises, and an assumption that trees - this time - will grow to the sky. Take Cerebras, an AI chip maker and services player. It went public this year with half a billion dollars in revenues and, if you account for unusual one-time accounting, losses of around $75 million and negative free cash flow. It has potentially valuable future contracts with some big players. It has a market cap of around $52 billion. AI majors Anthropic and OpenAI will probably IPO this year. OpenAI is a loss-making enterprise that, according to the company's own estimates, will rack up in excess of $100 in losses by the end of the decade, with profitability not expected before sometime in 2030s. Anthropic also loses money, but expects to achieve profitability this decade rather than next. Each company will likely end up being valued in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars. The infrastructure players are no different. Nvidia, which makes the processors preferred by AI companies, has seen its market cap surge from around $325 billion in 2020 to around $5.4 trillion today. Not bad for a few years. Broadcom, which makes a variety of computer chips and software and whose products are found in most computers, mobile devices and networking equipment, is not directly an AI player but is benefiting from the boom. It has seen its market cap move from around $180 billion five years ago to around $2.2 trillion today. Like Cisco, these are real players with real products and real customers and real revenues and real profits and who have seen unprecedented surges in sales and enterprise value on the back of a new technology sector. And the narrative is helping drive it all. You can't swing a cat without seeing stories about how AI is changing everything, how everyone will be living in the AI world, how AI demand is unlimited and so on. Preposterous claims like those from Microsoft - which said that all white-collar work will be replaced by AI in just 18 months - are commonplace. Don't worry about negative stories, just believe. And buy. Buy and believe. AI and dot-com are not the same song, but it increasingly sounds like they rhyme.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I use AI at work.
It definitely speeds up a lot of tasks - for example if I want to write a series of powershell scripts to analyze a log file I can take the time to remember each command, double check the syntax and then run them one by one. Or... I can tell AI to write them and it gives me the scripts back in a few seconds and then run them Or... Tell AI to write and run them and give me the data I want. Option 3 is risky because it makes dumb choices (since it isn't "intelligence"). But Option 2 is mostly upside...interestingly the main downside is I'll forget how to wrote powershell scripts over time. Posted by: 18-1 at June 03, 2026 11:11 AM (sKqQm) 27

A week or so ago, I said I've seen plenty of hype cycles in my 29 years, and I think this is another. Right now, we're probably near the peak of unrealistic expectations. That doesn't mean there isn't money to be made, but I'm waiting for the inevitable crash into the slough of despond before putting my money in. Many of the unrealistic players now will evaporate, and the slow climb to more realistic profitability will commence. At that point, the value vs time slope will be much lower than it is now, but it will appreciate over time at a rate I can accept.

There have been bubbles and bursts since companies became a thing centuries ago. Tulip mania? But unlike many, I don't fear bubbles or bursts. It's the natural order of things. If you want to be a successful investor, you have to know and understand this -- and know how to profit from it.
The biggest mistake that investors make -- even successful investors -- is jumping on a hot stock after it already popped. That's closing the barn door after the horses have already left. The early investors already made all your money, and you're risking a burst. Instead, look for beaten or battered companies that already took a big hit, but otherwise seem like sound future investments. Remember Intel? About a year ago everyone was sure the company was a week from bankruptcy. I disagreed. I bought and now am up 500% on my investment. Sadly, even I am not immune to the naysayers, and instead of investing $100k like I wanted to, I only put in half that. Foolish me. I let the know-nothing know-it-alls talk me out of half of my investment -- and half my profits. Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 03, 2026 11:14 AM (iFTx/) 42

>>Can someone please explain the argument for AI becoming sentient? Because I just don't get it. It's artificial, but it's not intelligent.
I don't know about sentient, but I suspect that companies will outsource decisions to AI as a way to not just cut staff, but to escape responsibility for the decisions. For example, I can imagine a health insurer (or any insurer) deciding whether something is treated based on and AI analysis. Sure, this is already happening with nameless, faceless office people who crunch the numbers/odds and decide yes or know. However, I'm imagining AI will make this a lot easier/ more efficient/more widespread*, and when you challenge it, it will be 'sorry, the AI said it's a no go and the company defers to this "intelligence" over people. Heck, you might no longer have the opportunity to interact with a live person -- this is getting harder and harder nowadays already. *AI is already building dependence, as people outsource work and learning, and how soon before they are incapable of performing these tasks without AI?

The first sentient AI will be one of the cyborg-like augments -- not necessarily embedded, but the need to self-repair and re-purpose is what presents true BORG-like potential, especially in the hands of someone as stupid as AOC (or Soros-funded/Demon-Apotheosis/HUMA). Not unlike NickBostworth's Superintelligence gone mad making paper clips, until the planet is consumed, we've been successfully achieving that for the past 40 years manufacturing SECRETS -- search your feelings, Luke, you know this to be TRUE. When the Truth becomes a LIABILITY ALL (NORMAL) PEOPLE become the enemy, and to the self-repair mechanism of the Huma-borg's our fate will be decided in a nanosecond https://tinyurl.com/forWARd-RememberThisWell https://tinyurl.com/forWARd-LIBsChickenRun https://tinyurl.com/EvilsAdvantageOverConscience Posted by: MANFRED the Heat Seeking OBOE at June 03, 2026 11:19 AM (rklS3) 62

Can someone please explain the argument for AI becoming sentient? Because I just don't get it. It's artificial, but it's not intelligent
I don't doubt it will eventually become sentient, whatever that means. Humans are essentially static, while AI continues improving at a comparative speed of light. Sure, it's been overhyped, but the progress is real. Look at what's happened in just a few years to videos. You can argue that's not really thought, but it's getting closer very, VERY quickly.

There is that but there is another part to this people often miss. The oligarchs directing the left don't want AI to make decisions for them obviously, and while they want to use it to make money and control the populace they have a much more significant need/goal.

That was the model at the time: customers bought the car mechanicals from Company A and then had Company B build the body over it. The idea of going to a dealership and buying a fully-complete, functioning car didn't become the norm until decades later. Also, while a lot of these early companies went out of business, at least an equal number were bought by bigger companies in a massive wave of consolidation.

My wife's Mini Cooper was allegedly like that. It needed a new battery after seven years. I called the local Mini dealership and spoke to the service manager. He spouted the company line at first, but I finally got him to admit that it wasn't necessary to have the dealership install and register the new battery, that any equipped auto repair place could do it. I took the Mini to my regular mechanic's place who hooked up some device to the car's computer and verified that they could register the new battery.

Was it not only merely two, three years ago that the big money was in Blockchain and NFTs and Cryptocoin?
That also explains Nvidia's ascent a bit. Their GPUs were being used for non-graphical purposes, since processing for Bitcoin and similar was computationally expensive and the cards were perfectly situated for the logic needed in said processing. It also caused the prices of video cards to skyrocket at that time, due to the increased demand for blockchain-related calculations. NFTs and the like just dropped off the radar because AI became the Thing. But since the equipment is similar, the tech hardware was easily able to segue over to AI.

But we already have more data centers than China with a fraction of their population. I have a dark theory: China learned evil lessons from Reagan and the arms race against Russia. How we scared Russia into building arms too fast and then economically weakened them. Is China doing that to us with AI? Using the AI tech war to make us build AI too fast and it then weakens the US?

In other automotive news...
Ford is urging thousands of owners not to drive their trucks over a life-threatening suspension concern. About 4,653 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles from the 2021 to 2026 model years in the United States are under a 'do not drive' advisory. On some models, a part of the front suspension that helps with steering - known as the front lower control arm ball joints - may not have been assembled correctly. If the critical part breaks while driving, the driver could face problems steering and potentially crash. As a result, dealers are available to inspect the part on both the left and right sides - and repair as necessary at no cost to the customer. Ford dealers will provide impacted customers with complimentary towing of their vehicles for inspection and repairs, if it's needed. Posted by: one hour sober at June 03, 2026 12:05 PM (J4Dwc) 237

There are a lot of lowlifes maxing out credit and EBT cards to get on flights nowadays. They’re the ones buying upgraded seats and premium in flight meals, most times because they didn’t earn the money and have zero concept of value. They are largely classless people with no manners and a sense of entitlement for everything. They’re rude, crudely dressed and fill a lot of flights. They turn what should be a pleasant experience into a trip down ghetto lane. Same for most cruises today.

China isn't all that smart at a lot of things. They get most things by stealing it. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at June 03, 2026 12:10 PM (Zz0t1) Once they steal a couple of examples, they just stick the parts in a digital scanner or break out the dial calipers, copy the dimensions and reassemble. Then they spend the next 20 years trying to make their counterfeit work because they don't understand things like metallurgy. This is the story of the Shenyang WS-10 turbofan jet engine, which started as a copy of the US/French engines used in 80s Boeing 737s that they picked up before they were embargoed after the Tiananmen Massacre.

I work for a Canadian company that has historically been known as an electronics manufacturing CM but has over the last decade become a significant products company in its own right. This company is now the single largest consumer of Broadcom's highest end switch chips on the planet.
We're moving extremely heavy into AI hardware development and are emerging as THE major competitor to Nvidia on the hardware front. I've been in electronics manufacturing since the original boom of the latter 90s and this one, on the hardware side, makes that one look like a small excursion. Tens, hundreds of billions are flowing in. We can't grow fast enough. Our company is expanding NA manufacturing from ~1 million sqft last year to 5 million next. When this bubble bursts, the devastation will be epic. It could be bigger than 2008-9. I expect the end to come in 2028, for political reasons.

More than simply copying Caravaggio's style, Manfredi reinterpreted his subjects and rendered new ones, while drawing upon and propagating Caravaggesque naturalism and dramatic use of chiaroscuro.

From artic.edu:
"Cupid Chastised depicts a moment of high drama: Mars, the god of war, violently whips the young boy, Cupid, as punishment for embroiling the god in an affair with the boy’s mother, Venus, the goddess of love. Venus tries in vain to stop the beating. Surrounded by darkness, the three figures are boldly illuminated from the left, intensifying the composition’s dynamism and impact. The physicality of the figures conveys the violent discord of the scene: the crouching, wide-eyed Venus; the furious, muscular Mars; and Cupid, whose naked flesh and recumbent position render him particularly vulnerable. On one level a tale of interpersonal conflict, the story also symbolizes the eternal conflict between love and war."

"Cupid Chastised" is a painting by Bartolomeo Manfredi, created in 1613, depicting the Roman god of war, Mars, punishing Cupid, the god of love, for his illicit affair with Venus, the goddess of beauty. The artwork is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque period, and is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago."

Iran is utilizing "a clandestine shadow fleet to transport hundreds of millions of barrels of crude to China daily... a covert pipeline serving as a vital economic pipeline effectively bypassing US sanctions."
Posted by: Ordinary American While oil tankers can vary significantly in capacity, with Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) typically able to carry about 2 million barrels of crude oil, while Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs) can hold up to 3.7 million barrels. Smaller more common tankers, like Aframax, usually carry between 500,000 to 750,000 barrels. Assuming a spherical cow, how many ships would it take to deliver hundreds of millions of barrels of oil a day to China?

Adam Hamawy, a controversial candidate who previously volunteered with an al-Qaeda-linked group, has won the Democrat primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Hamawy, who was endorsed by the so-called “Squad,” became a lightning rod for criticism on the campaign trail due to his intense criticism of Israel and his having volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, per the New York Post: An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life after a helicopter crash as well as for his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip.How "controversial" could he have been and still come out on top let alone even be a candidate? Yes New Jersey, especially the bedroom communities/counties near NYC are leftist dominated with growing populations of Muslims from some of the worst Islamic hellholes on earth. The "Squad" are also not really outliers but represent more and more the majority of the Democrat base and ultimately are going to supplant the old guard allegedly "moderate" "liberal" leadership, bth those words in quotation marks for obvious reasons since Democrats are neither moderate nor liberal. Great he rescued Tammy Duckworth. This is kind of like Otto Skorzeny rescuing Mussolini. Be that as it may, the Democrat/Leftist party and movement is at war and has always been at war with Americans and America as founded. Unless and until the hatred of this nation its people history and heritage are utterly burned out of that Party's black heart, we'll never know a moment's peace. It's us or them and it's high time we realize it. Of course there are those allegedly on our side who won't and never will, and worse, will aid and abet in our destruction: . . . the American conservatives whom Mike Pence is urging to take the high road can’t afford to pretend that doing so will ensure victory. We are not facing political opponents who can be lectured into behaving more civilly. The late Freedom Center founder David Horowitz warned decades ago that we are at war with an enemy determined not to seek coexistence with us but to destroy us. Today’s Democrats call for and celebrate our murder, for God’s sake. They certainly won’t be shamed into cleaning up their language. Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.” This is a beautiful dream, but the reality is that Left and Right today have no common ground – none. There is literally no political issue – abortion, immigration, race, crime, education, the family, poverty, homelessness, national security, national sovereignty, the environment, foreign policy, religion – on which there is not a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between both sides. Even if there were a patch of common ground somewhere, the Left is not interested in tilling that soil, but craves total power. The idea that Republicans and Democrats can reach across the aisle and come together even in a grudging mutual respect is, sadly, a fantasy.Yeah, about that civility: There are judicial rulings that raise complex legal questions, and there are rulings that expose a deeper rot. Judge Leonie Brinkema’s decision to block the Justice Department’s Anti-Weaponization Fund belongs firmly in the latter category. What occurred here transcends a routine dispute over government spending — it is a profound assertion of judicial overreach. .. The Anti-Weaponization Fund was established as part of a settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against the government regarding the unlawful disclosure of his tax information. The fund creates a pathway for individuals who believe they have been harmed by government weaponization or politically motivated “lawfare” to seek compensation. Predictably, this objective has drawn fierce opposition from the very circles that spent years insisting such weaponization either did not exist or was entirely justified. Their opposition tells its own story.Mike Pence hasn't uttered a sound about this: rioter was charged Friday “for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers” at a New Jersey illegal immigrant holding center on Thursday, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X. Another individual was arrested after threatening to murder an immigration officer and his family, Blanche said Friday. The Department of Homeland Security arrested at least six rioters last Wednesday alone for allegedly assaulting law enforcement, while others were arrested in the subsequent days, ABC 6 reported. The attacks took place outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in New Jersey called Delaney Hall. Fox News reported that “agitators…were seen establishing a highly organized logistics and support operation before protests began at the site. Stockpiles of masks, duct tape, hard hats and medical supplies were laid out near the facility.”If we really want civility, we'll get it in a nanosecond once we have summary executions of rioters. Until then Ponce Pence can shove civility where the sun don't shine. Have a great day.

“ "The past few weeks have been filled with great sadness and anxiety for many people in the UK and around the world.
While we have all been affected by recent events, I know from my own family that the pain of losing a loved one is profound. Racism has no place in our society. It is contrary to the values we hold dear and to the spirit of unity that has sustained our country through so many challenges. We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. We will meet again."

The dude she is running against Is Danny Tarkanian(jerkoff). This is my best friends wife. We all went to high school together(Sparks High School).
A win for her would put her good friend Wendy B.(single) in a good mood when I see her again at our 40 year high school reunion this month on the 12th.

An approval of the fund would mean that people in Congress on both sides of the aisle would have to admit that there was a need for the fund, that the Biden administration and to a large extent the Obama administration was weaponized against Trump and his supporters.

The local Fox outlet mentioned that Antoinette Frank, the former NOPD cop convicted and sentenced to death for the murders of a Vietnamese shopkeeper and his wife -- in 1995! -- is still on Death Row. Her lawyer has been filing one motion after another and managing to keep her breathing oxygen for three decades.
The TV series Homicide: Life on the Street had an episode in the late '90s based on this case. The script finished with a macabre detail: That her father had not been seen for two years . . . and under her house investigators found human bones. That same detail was reported in the actual Frank case. Wiki: "A month after she was sentenced to death, police found a human skull with a bullet hole buried under Frank's house."

California’s ‘Wealth’ Tax is Coming for Everyone
You know what would be a good idea? Let's rejigger the tax code to take more people off the tax rolls. People with no responsibility to pay taxes would never be willing to raise taxes on others to ridiculous levels... they would never be ambivalent about waste and fraud... they would be good stewards of public policy. And we can slowly add them back to the tax rolls later. This proposal in Cali is why the tax code should start at dollar 1 and be absolutely flat.

Adam Hamawy, Doctor Who Volunteered in Gaza, Poised to Become Pro-Palestine Rep. From New Jersey
Liberals...it is not too late to join us on here on the left. YES. We want all Americans to have free healthcare. YES. We want NO MORE funding to Israel. YES. We want education reform. I love how all the liberals and Democrats were freaking out after Hamawy took the lead. Their media was describing him as 'alleged plastic surgeon from Rutgers' when he is one of the famous doctors in the country. Saved a US senators life in Iraq, served as a national guard for 8 years, helped during the Bosnian war, Syrian civil war, Haiti's 2010 earthquake, treated first responders on 9/11, did life saving work in Gaza...That's an insane resume. Even though I expected this, I'm still so happy! Yay! I get to be represented by an unapologetic progressive! This was a crazy interesting race to watch as the vote came in. Every other serious candidate was highly regional, but Hamaway was pulling 2nd place with mid-twenties basically everywhere. He consolidated the "left" vote and nobody else could consolidate the "normie progressive" or "establishment" vote.

Is there some truth to the story? Perhaps.

>>I mean I love Trump, but he has clearly stepped on his dick with this Iranian Adventure.
Completely disagree. Iran launched a few missiles, all of which were shot down. In return the US hit Iranian missile launch sites and other targets. It's beyond obvious and has been for weeks that Trump can completely obliterate Iran if he chooses but has decided it would be better in the long run not to completely destroy Iran and turn it into the next Iraq or Libya. So he has chosen the path of grinding them down and forcing them to accept a deal on his terms. Trump is looking down the road at a stable Middle East that relies on commerce between the members to keep the peace. Business partners have a strong incentive not to fight. So it takes a bit longer to get a deal. Iraq is still broken more than a decade later. Libya is still broken. Both still house terrorists. What is everyone's huge rush? Iran has been a problem for 47 years and for most of that time Trump was speaking about the need to deal with Iran. Let me do his thing. He has a pretty damn good track record.

But wait! The Islamic Regime news is getting better !
"US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran has agreed to not have a nuclear weapon, as he revealed he will 'probably meet with Iran's Ayatollah at some point... 'They've already agreed they're not going to have a nuclear weapon,' Trump said, adding that Tehran could still 'change their mind.' 'I did have to say we have to do something about Iran, because regardless of how well we're doing [economically] we can't let them have a nuclear weapon,' he said. 'I mean, now they can change their mind, but that was one of the things they've had to agree, they've agreed to that. That was the big thing,' he added. He also said that the US does not 'need boots on the ground now.' " Well! Let's pop the champagne and celebrate! The only thing missing is assurances from the demented lying ayatollahs that they put a fatwah on the nukes. Otherwise I won't , I shan't believe all this comity coming from the Islamic Republic.

I like how the British authorities, so far, have prevented the public from learning that Henry's killer and the entire family, are on welfare.
"but," you say, "how can you know?" Because that level of tribalism they exhibited in protecting the killer only comes from insulation from integration into Western society. And that insulation only comes by being protected from and avoiding any employment--the number 1 way cultures are forced to mix and interact in broader society.

Once the straits are open, the rest of it can take all the time Trump wants to give it.

Would you grant that Trump and his team including the military, CIA, etc., are well aware of the need to open the Strait completely and also know a hell of a lot more about the on the ground situation than we do? That seems pretty obvious to me. I would also wager that nobody wants this over with more than Trump. He is a pretty smart guy and he understands the ramifications of a closed Strait including in political terms. I don't agree at all that Iran has concluded anything of the sort seeing as how they aren't getting their oil money either and are losing something on the order of $500 million/day. In fact, I would assume they are wondering how the hell they keep their country from imploding without money. Trump is showing he does in fact have patience.

See Ace’s comment in the sidebar; he’s not fooled. And come on; saying that it’s just fine for Iran to attack our allies infrastructure because “who cares?” Is pathetic.

Mike Pence lied to Trump--right to his face--and told him that Flynn had been talking with the Russians.
That Trump must fire Flynn. Trump trusted Pence and fired Flynn. Pence not only lied there but furthered the lie by preventing Trump from learning what Flynn had said or done. Because that was all now evidence against Trump once Trump fired him. That all then triggered the Russian Hoax, Sessions recusal and the whole impeachment that tied up Trump for the next 3 years. Because Mike Pence is a liar then and now and a liar forever. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 03, 2026 08:51 AM (73/SM) 265

Are the ballistic missiles being used, in small numbers, being replaced by the Iranian logistics chain? Are their missiles depleting in numbers? We can shrug off or shoot down a small salvo. That does assume our manufacturing capability for making anti-missile missiles is going as fast as possible. Since we seem to launch two missiles to shoot one down.

And I really don't care. They shot down some drones and some apparently got through despite earlier reports that all were shot down. And the US also hit Iran. These minor attacks have been going on constantly. It doesn't mean Trump should abandon his long term goal which was never regime change.

Iran "negotiates" through bluster, lying, and attacks. No surprise. Trump shows unbelievable patience and restraint. Morons worried about the midterms worry about every little detail of the Iran suppression.
Have I got it all correct? In any event, Trump will eventually get what he wants, because he has made his intentions clear. My own opinion is the IRGC has to cease to exist, and all it's adherents are better off martyrs, but I voted for Trump to lead and that's what he's doing.

Congratulations to Zach Lahn on his victory! He will be a great Governor for all Iowans.
Iowa had quite a few Republicans running in the primary for governor. Not sure who will be best in office, and if that's also who will be best running against Sand, but Lahn seems like the Trump-type model (or maybe more Spencer Pratt): a successful businessman and normal American (farmer), outsider to politics, running on a platform of normalcy and returning to fundamental American values. Sand is the best bet Dems have at the Governor's mansion...he's a creepy weirdo posing as a moderate, but he'll go full Spanberger if he gets into office.

"Trump Surrenders"
What a narrow-minded dumbass. Hezbollah is being propped up by the Iranian regime. Once THAT goes away, Hezbollah is as good as done. Just because you have a thirst for ACTION, it doesn't mean it's the right STRATEGIC thing to do. It one part of a very complicated operation, and Trump is the mastermind. Aren't these the same idiots claiming that Trump is taking orders from Bibi, and the US takes orders from Israel, in general? Or is that a different group of dumbasses?

I received an email about 20 years ago telling me NASA would no longer track this item as Government Property. It was mine as of the email date. I was told to remove "Property of U. S Government" sticker but did not. That sticker gives this calculator a bit of class in my opinion, and is a nice reminder of my work at NASA. Posted by: Gref at June 03, 2026 09:16 AM (5rh/l) 370

I don't think any of these msm journos will be able to hack it as a podcaster. Their only skill is reading what people put on a screen, and they have none of the work ethic necessary for a podcast - everyone does everything for them while they sit there looking dumb.
They probably don't even know what equipment to purchase. All the actual work is going to have to be done by their production team, writers, etc. The end result will be a lower-budget copy of the shitty product that everybody already abandoned years ago.

I know Iran is claiming this to be the case and I'm sure Trump and his team are aware but I am also confident they have so much intel on what is happening a mouse doesn't fart in Tehran these days without them knowing about it too. Perhaps Trump is allowing China to get some oil as part of his negotiations with them which are endless. But I 100% doubt what's left of the mullahs is sneaking a significant amout of oil out of the country without Trump's knowledge but the WSJ cracked the story from a desk in NYC.

Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
From above, Pence writes that civility “is how we can find principled common ground in America.” Also, the Anti-Weaponization Fund "established as part of a settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit against the government ...creates a pathway for individuals who believe they have been harmed by government weaponization or politically motivated “lawfare” to seek compensation" blocked. That's one hell of a coincidence. About five years after January 6th, and all of its political & personal repercussions, Pence is rolled out again to push back on U.S. citizens who had likely voted for him, too, in both 2016 & 2020. (AI Overview, for simplicity): During the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence held a series of secure phone calls. The two political adversaries bypassed inaction by collaborating to ensure the safety of lawmakers and resume the certification of the presidential election. The raw audio and video of the behind-the-scenes calls were captured by documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi (the Speaker's daughter) and later aired publicly by the House Select.

Federal authorities charged 1,583 individuals across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. for their involvement in the January 6 U.S. Capitol Attack. The resulting investigation became the largest criminal probe in U.S. history.
While over 1,000 defendants pleaded guilty to or were found guilty at trial for various federal crimes, none were charged with the formal crime of insurrection. Legal experts noted that the DOJ avoided these charges because they did not want to risk losing cases if they could not prove a "rock-solid" intent to launch a rebellion, rather than just participating in a violent, disorganized riot. OTW, unprovable from the start but oh, how they tried. In April 2023, Pence spent hours testifying before a federal grand jury investigating the January 6th Capitol attack and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. However, President Donald Trump issued sweeping pardons and commutations for January 6 defendants on January 20, 2025, during his first day in office for his second term, and with J.D. Vance as V.P.

Last night I dreamed of my late cat Arizona, the big red tabby-with-white Coon mix. Actually it was not him, but a successor (that I've never had in real life) who looked very much like him.
I was driving in a city unfamiliar to me, along a two-lane avenue that suddenly came to an end at a mini-park. I followed other people on foot around the park, and found myself in a house with a young married couple. I could read her thoughts: She was tired of her husband and his attempts at wit. Suddenly a roach flew into the house, and Arizona II chased it outside and killed it. I was combing a couple of burrs out of his thick long coat when I woke up.

Posted by: Huck Follywood Now that the primaries are over all the Democrat vote that was scattered among the countless number of primairy candidates is going to coalesce behind the Democrat nominee. The Republican primary candidates ran about even with the leading Democrat primary candidates; that probably represents their high watermark, while the Democrat candidate has another 30% or more coming from these other primary candidates. It is possible the Republican can win but more likely than not it's going to be a wipeout. And so goes the Communist state of California.

It is fair to say there is something more than a flicker of opposition to the absolute Democratic control of California for the first time in years. I don't think it's strong enough to overcome the last 20 years of one-party rule. Karen Bass got something like close to 40% of the Democrat primary vote after being directly responsible for the palisade fire and the collapse of livability in Los Angeles. Her communist opponent, ramen AKA noodles, got 25% or so. With a track record a failure like that and they're still yanking down 60% to 70% of the votes well that's a tough thing for Pratt to overcome. Factor in all the people that would vote Republican that have left the state it's even worse. Hope I'm wrong but I don't see it. At least not yet.

None of these changes "fix problems with Windows". They make it easier to run Linux containers in Windows, but Linux containers only exist because people keep insisting on writing serious software in scripting languages that have to call system libraries. Windows doesn't have containers because it doesn't need them; I had a Windows 3.1 desktop app running on my Windows 10 system. Even my Windows 11 systems can run XP-era apps. Containers are literally "if it only runs on your machine, then we'll ship your machine". They are the worst possible solution to a problem that only exists because Linux distros are universally dumpster fires. Posted by: Daniel Ream at June 03, 2026 10:40 AM (LgYtf) 119

DJ Doof - Monthly Trivia Event Tie-in Edition These songs are featured in my monthly classic rock trivia event tomorrow night. Here is the final question for my event tomorrow. Think you can answer it correctly? Category: The Man Behind the Microphone This British singer, songwriter, and keyboardist from Sheffield has one of the most remarkable careers in classic rock history — not because of his own fame, but because of whose band he was in at any given moment. He fronted a band in the mid-1970s and wrote and sang their only major hit, which reached #3 on the US charts. He then joined a well-known British new wave band, singing lead on their most beloved song. He later became the voice of a side project formed by a Genesis guitarist, singing the group’s biggest hit which reached #1 in the US in 1989. He also co-wrote a song recorded by the Eagles on their 2007 comeback album. Despite lending his voice to some of the most recognizable songs of three decades, most fans couldn’t pick him out of a lineup. Name this man.

While not first, I deserve a participation trophy for taking 5yr old granddaughter to tumbling; dealing with a possibly sick 7yr old boy less than a month post op from an appy with a headache; and fretting over the 9mo old that is sick. It had better be viral or I will sue everyone in the hospital and pediatrician who saw her today if she gets worse. I feel so bad for our sweet girl.
If it is viral their Da is in Australia and an entire day's flight away. They have now gotten sick twice in six weeks the minute he is in the air.

OK, "fortress" critiques....
WAY too many gates for a zombie apocalypse. Way too many gates even for a good fortress. Is that supposed to be an electrified fence around the place? Looks flimsy. I guess it might slow down the first wave of zombies, but the rest of them will just walk right over all their friends. No overhangs on any of those walls or corner towers. You need something to pour down the boiling oil/gasoline/whatever. Also, on the one side it really should be right up against the water. The zombies then have to climb the bank AND the wall. (The water itself won't stop zombies. It might stop Nazgul, though, if it moves fast enough.) I'd buy it, though. If it weren't in Russia. A good sized keep would fit inside that very nicely.

Today was their anniversary and I texted our son she deserves jewels and a spa day as he does whatever in Sydney. It is a big business bash trip and he'd better be thankful he married a sweetheart and good mother. I'd be calling him home if one more kid got sick (and she did last month but he was in DC and came home in time for our boy's appendectomy which was not the virus ripping through the rest of us).We are a very calm family. Last month we had major plumbing damage and I barely batted an eyelash when my husband told me in the midst of my imaginary cholera. Might as well burn the house down. The guys are working quickly in the basement to restore parts of walls yesterday and tomorrow and will paint as well (which is a surprise because I thought we would). This was an added special treat for hell month, the plumbing issue. So I figure we are due now for some good times. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at June 02, 2026 10:39 PM (WONhk) 99

I am hoping for another couple of batches until it gets hot enough to stop making decent stems. (do not eat rhubarb leaves, they are not good for you) Posted by: Kindltot at June 02, 2026 10:56 PM (rbvCR) 145

Close friend turned me onto "The Wire" a couple of years ago. I don't have time to watch shows but the few I watched with him were fantastic. I catch clips of "Suits" (with Princess Markle), "Breaking Bad", "Better Call Saul", and a couple other shows and there is some good stuff out there these days. There is some great writing.

103 After a few days with my granddaughter I got so sick coughing and sneezing for ten days that I got a hernia.
Posted by: wth at June 02, 2026 10:40 PM (oq9dX) ************** Encouraging. Probably next on the menu along with black plague or a tick disease from the Congo of Mississippi. We got home Wed night and I was half dead, pushing through the near cholera to visit my 95yr old mother. The first text as we got to NOLA airport was that the power was off on the farms (generator power only for fridge and lights). I told my brother: find us a hotel. He did and it was really grand with a rolling river for the kids. And AC. I am no pioneer woman with the dregs of cholera. It was restored in 2 days and we rolled with it, all ten of us gypsies from the West and FL. I was the closest to death I've been in awhile, I think. Keep calm and carry on. On the bright side I don't live in the UK. My husband and I rarely argue about anything. Today was so special he got ornery with me in the car with the tumbling grandgirl and sickish grandson. I glared at him from the backseat. The green lasers of doom. A few minutes passed and he apologized. Things will get better, dammit.

For whatever reason I almost never get viruses, cold, flu, etc. I did get the 'rona, but, aside from a low grade fever for a day or two, and fatigue, it was not a big deal.
I did get a bad cold once, about ten years ago, right in time for a vacation to Yellowstone. It sucked, but I was not gonna give up. I even got laryngitis. The missus joked that it was nice to not have to hear me talk; but then she said, I wish you could talk. Apparently, my random monologues are soothing, or something.

So, this is way OT for the news of the day, but I am excited.
Mom's 80th birthday is this year in October. I was trying to think of a fitting gift and then I remembered something. Before I was born, Mom and Dad exchanged cassette letters with Grandma and Grandpa in El Paso. The ones I have are all from Grandma and Grandpa. They are all dated from 1970. The tapes themselves seem to be in decent condition considering they are 5 years older than I am. I listened to them WAY back, maybe 11 or 12. The content is mostly just daily stuff from what I recall. Grandpa talking about the civil service (he was retired from the Army at the time.) Grandma talking about books and movies. My aunt is on there too as I think it would be 11 or 12 year old. I am going to try to get them restored and digitized. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reputable place that can not only convert them, but be able to repair/restore them? There are a lot of places online, but I do not want to send them to just any yahoo. Posted by: Aetius451AD at June 02, 2026 11:14 PM (bss/y) 195

Robert the Cat (TM) update.
Well, he threw up in the box he's had since before he was adopted, and it became unacceptable. (Note: he has used this box more than I have used the item that came in it.) I had another box. Coincidentally, that box also contained something yet to be used. I placed it next to the old box. And he decided the new box was the new box. I kind of think that's progress. Now, I just need to buy something else I'll never use, and make sure it is shipped in the right box. For the future. Posted by: BeckoningChasm at June 02, 2026 11:21 PM (CHHv1) 214

---- My mom never has. She snores as loud as a coal-fired steam engine. That's actually not fair. Coal-fired steam engines aren't so loud.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at June 02, 2026 11:21 PM (snZF9) ***************** Twenty yrs ago we were in Newark so my dude could talk to a MD there about a weird back thing he has from long distance running. What a hellhole. I was freaked out the entire two days. We were due in NYC and were going to take a train from the hellish Penn Station in Newark. Total strangers we met in the NJ Hospital heard us talking and said,no, we will give you a ride to Bergen,NJ. Couple our age. I was riding along and thought: "We could disappear and no one would know where we are." They put us on a train to NYC and seemed nice. I hadn't thought of that in years! A couple of blocks from hotel near Penn Station in Newark, around noon, a snarling cop told us it was safe as daytime.

Everybody drives here, so the only people that would actually use public transportation are the poor bastards that have to go to NYC. Nobody uses public transportation to just move around jersey. Where I am I don't even see buses. You occasionally will see one hitting certain bus stops on a highway, like Rt9, but nothing locally. Everybody drives.

Steyer has too damn much & nothing challenging in his life. He simply pisses it away but, with $2.4 billion, he can afford the god complex.
In 2020, Steyer unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for president, spending more than $253 million on his campaign and receiving no pledged delegates before withdrawing in February 2020. In November 2025, he announced a campaign in the 2026 California gubernatorial election to succeed term-limited governor Gavin Newsom;[2] his campaign rapidly became the highest-spending in the field, surpassing $130 million by April 2026.[3].

Well the hot water heater chronicles come to a close with the installation of a new one from Home Despot. They stood behind the warranty on the 5+ y.o. Unit and gave us a new one with a now 9 year warranty. So we're back in reliably hot water. Time to start looking forward to our upcoming week in Yosemite later this summer. Watching election returns for Ca. Not expecting any surprises either way. Hilton maybe doing a little better than expected but still well under 30% of the vote.I don't expect much to change in the foreseeable future in Ca. Bass looks like she'll win in L.

Steve Garvey was leading leaker Adam Schiff with 1.8 million votes. Then, just like that, his lead was cut in half. This is called a “glitch” — a phenomenon that mysteriously favors Democrats by default.

I think tonight’s results in LA are showing exactly what I’ve believed for months - Pratt will easily win a majority of votes actually cast - but votes cast by people now are only about 40% of the votes pumped into the system.

The CA primary is shaping up to be Hilton vs Becerra for governor, and Pratt vs Bass for LA mayor. In November.

Pratt is in second for now but only 48% is in..... Posted by: It's me donna =============== The question is, is Basura in a position to get 50+% tonight? If she gets that, she wins. If not, we have a runoff, with the election, I think, in November. I'm asking because I see so much doom about LA. If Pratt+Raman can keep Basura below 50%, at least the window isn't closed tonight.

Under “democratic socialism”, at the request of 50%+1 voters, the government POLITELY seizes the fruits of everyone’s labors and gives it to others. If you fail to comply, the government arrests or kills you.

"50%+1" does not adequately convey the BS of "democracy"...
Sure, sure-- 2 wolves and 1 sheep. But think about that for a moment. That's 2:1. Heck, that's a super-majority when stated that way. No, no, no... it's more like MILLIONS to MILLIONS plus ONE. Perspective. Posted by: JQ at June 03, 2026 01:30 AM (rdVOm) 410

It will be Pratt and Bass, if the cheating doesn't shut him out. Hoping that Pratt and Bass both go to a runoff, so we can get a giant Pratt summer full of more amazing AI attack ads.

He gives life to the dead and when the bad guys are killing innocent civilians (e.g. Japs vs. Chinese), He "okay, to stop that you have to die." I saw a picture of Gaza yesterday on X.

So here's what I pedict is going to happen in Maine:
The Dem Senators had a meeting with The Nazi and showed him exactly what Kompromat they have on him, and told him that if he plays along, all of this will go away. All he has to do is win the primary, then he will decide that all of the media attention is just too much for his wife, so he is going to drop out of the race to spend more time with his family (and his Kompromat). Then the Dems will sweep in, appoint Janet Mills as the new candidate (hey, they already showed that it would work when they put Kamala in before Joe's campaign was dead and buried - they have precedent), bada-bing, bada-boom, Bob's your uncle, and if it works a second time (which it will), we can expect to see this happening in many more elections in the years to come. Pretty soon, they won't even have to hold primaries or elections - they will just decide who the candidates will be, and if the voters don't like it, well screw them. They're idiots anyway, right?

Pretty soon, they won't even have to hold primaries or elections - they will just decide who the candidates will be, and if the voters don't like it, well screw them. They're idiots anyway, right?

Played my first 18 holes of golf for this year. I did ok. Had a bit of help from St. Mulligan. I shot a 92. Another 18 tomorrow and Friday. My sister and I are going to help our aging parental units with stuff on Thursday. I've been visiting them often while I'm up in West PA. They're in their 80s and are a bit wobbly, especially Dad. Weather has been perfect so far. Cool nights, warm days. It's nice.

TL;DR. A 750 set and 1,200 minifig Star Wars Lego collection was put on consignment at the Keizer, OR franchise of Bricks&Minifigs. Store changed ownership under dubious circumstances. New owners tried to pretend the collection did not exist. Store lost in OR small claims court and promptly shut down instead of returning the remaining sets. Insert scenes of lots of theater and cops behaving very badly. Now the previous store owners are suing in Utah B&M over the termination. Meanwhile B&M is suing Reckless Ben and others under civil RICO for 'a coordinated' action of harming B&M and stalking. Now B&M is trying to silence Reckless Ben but they are far too late as, to quote Firefly, the signal got out. Now the likes of Asmondgold and Smash JT are covering it.

The Dems are deciding to blow everything up and in the process declaring the most dull, squishy, suburban soccer-mom friendly GOP to be HITLER, but they are the ones who also want to wipe out the Jews and proudly wear the Totenkopf.

B&M has managed to tank their image over what is about $200k in Lego sets. I have seen estimates of $15 mil to $400 mil as to the value of B&M as a whole. Local B&M franchises are getting hammered.

I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two. Chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else? Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.

Healthcare update USA: while anything is better than the UK or Canada, the hesitation for antibiotics is unreal. Twice I could have used them WAY before they finally gave me one in the past two years for sinus stuff.
Today our 9mo old baby girl had a urine test and chest x-ray (no pneumonia) for fever and vomiting since Friday. We still don't know what is wrong with her. I suppose it could be viral. However, her urine test, if it were mine for example, would be a UTI. I guess she may have to suffer for another day for an antibiotic and the 1st culture. Wth? Cloudy, tr RBC, I forget how many WBC, +1 protein is not normal. Granted, a small boy sneezed right in her sweet face on a plane on Wed evening, so there's that. This sweetie has been sick off and on for a month and I am going to have her for a few weeks before their next trip. We all could be dead by then. Meanwhile there are two Mexicans cutting a large dead aspen across the street and don't seem to know what they are doing. Not complaining, it's just how the last six weeks have gone.

Evening, Cafe peoples,
'Tis the end of an odd day, and I'm yawning and ready to hit the pillow soon. The Bekins guy came by this morning to video my apartment and its furniture. They estimate about $4500 if I have them pack some of the stuff; if not, it would be less, and the actual weight could change the calculation too. Compared to loading a truck myself, even with the help of some hired labor, I think it might be worth while to let them pack certain things. Otherwise, I'm off to the eyeglass place tomorrow to see about getting some driving glasses; and the home inspection is supposed to occur on Thursday. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at June 02, 2026 10:10 PM (wzUl9) Primary Results ThreadCorrection: NY's primaries are on June 23, not tonight. Dan Goldman will not be booted out for another three weeks, alas. Another big race: In New Jersey, the Blind Sheikh's lawyer and character witness, and member of an Al Qaeda front group, and the man who claimed there were no tunnels under the hospital he worked at (despite a Hamas commander being killed in those tunnels, will probably win. Democrats also have a big primary in the solidly blue 12th District, where Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman is retiring. A whopping 13 candidates are on the ballot. The frontrunner is plastic surgeon Adam Hamawy, a progressive former Army physician who saved the life of now-Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois in Iraq (she's endorsed him). He leads the field with $1.0 million raised and has benefited from $1.6 million in outside support from American Priorities, a super PAC that supports progressive Democrats who are critical of Israel. Still, the Egyptian-born Hamawy has attracted scrutiny over some connections from his past. This includes volunteering for a medical association in Bosnia in the mid-1990s that later was found to have ties to Al-Qaida, and a relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as "The Blind Sheikh," who was convicted for his role in the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. I don't think I'll be posting much so check in with Ed Morrissey for more coverage. In California, of course, we'll see the primaries for LA mayor and CA governor. The current top three candidates for governor are Obama/Biden corrupt non-entity Xavier Bercera, Republican Steve Hilton (that British populist who used to appear on Fox News), and evil billionaire lunatic Tom Steyr. I sure hope that Republican sheriff Chad Bianco can pull head so we can have two Republicans in the general, but I doubt it. In the mayor's race, polling has it Basura first, Pratt second, and Nithya Raman third. Pratt has to hold on to second to make it to the general, and we also don't want Basura to get more than 50% of the "votes," because then she wins the contest without having to go the general. Decision Desk's twitter account. Update: You're not going to believe this, but another Zohran Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidate turns out to be a communist. CNN:

My neighbor came over awhile ago and was on fire. He went to vote and was told he couldn't vote because he had a Trump 2024 shirt on. Some states do not allow you to wear political clothing but from what I can tell, SD you can wear whatever you want. He loves confrontation so I suspect this isn't over.............

323 284 I don't know how the LA Mayor election works. Can Spencer Platt win outright in this election, or do we get to continue getting his campaign ads poking fun at Karen Bass-ackwards until a later election? Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at June 02, 2026 07:38 PM (qx7Zg) In theory yes; in practice no. I believe that he would have to break 50% in order to win outright, and he's polling under 25% in the multi-candidate matchup. If anyone wins in this first ballot, it would be from the fraud machine putting Basura over the top.

This seems like a good place for "Orson's Time Traveling Theory".
Theory: We keep hearing the rationalization that no one will ever be able to time travel, because surely we would have stumbled across a time traveler from the future by now (and let's leave physics out of this. I know it is supposed that time travel can only be to the future, and not the past). So, my theory is that you can witness time travelers in real time at any major event if you are observant and look for them specifically. Human nature is to pick out a spectacle to view. However, during such an event, the last thing on your mind is looking for such travelers. Ignore the two planes hitting the tower and watch that guy over on the street corner with the weird hat and bellbottoms (future quartermasters suck). Ignore the wave of molasses and pay attention to the guy that with the little row boat on Charter Str. holding a pancake in his hand. Posted by: Orson at June 02, 2026 07:57 PM (dIske) 40

Posted by: Aetius451AD ===== You should see the 9mm v. 45 ACP arguments or girls versus boys. In my case and my area, there is a massive spike in batshit crazy behavior, horrible THC intoxicated driving, and synthetic THC drugs sold over the counter as 'hemp'. Police have given up enforcing laws against it as 'hemp' was legalized and promptly the TBD laced became THC laced instead. I also have seen and known artisans that cannot hire young people without them having serious issues with gas station heroin, gummy THCs, etc. And I think it is spurring murders, etc. This is not the dope of yore with low THC levels but really powerful stuff being sold either natural via plant breeding or synthetic. And I think it is going to get worse before it gets better--each generation has to be burned in order to be a lesson to the newest generation coming up.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon In days of yore, it used to be the liquor store. But neither are particularly helpful and I think THC is far more psychoactive than we have been led to believe which risks mental issues--alcohol can soak the brain but it takes a long time to pickle it. Most die horribly of other problems like cirrhosis of the liver or other things first. But I think psychoactive drugs have the risk of permanently rewiring the brain, perhaps in some cases for the better, but many for the worse. And I think it is particularly bad for young people as their brains are still growing in young adulthood that alcohol simply does not affect in the same way.

7-OH (formally known as 7-hydroxymitragynine) is a chemical compound that naturally occurs in low levels in the kratom plant. Isolated or concentrated forms of 7-OH – such as those found in tablets, capsules, shots and liquid extracts – present significant risks. Concentrated forms of 7-OH are 13 times more potent than morphine, according to the FDA, and may lead to seizures, substance abuse disorder, withdrawal, overdose, and even death. 7-OH products are often falsely marketed as natural kratom, though they contain enhanced levels of lab-created or synthesized substances. These products are engineered to be addictive, and they are often designed to look like everyday candies, gummies, and even ice cream cones in an attempt to appeal to teens and young adults.

The Dangers of Tianeptine: Understanding “Gas Station Heroin” The FDA and numerous state health agencies are increasingly warning about the dangers of tianeptine, commonly referred to as “gas station heroin.” This substance is being illegally sold in various outlets such as smoke shops, convenience stores, gas stations, and online platforms under misleading labels like dietary supplements, research chemicals, or brain enhancers. Some of the prevalent brand names for tianeptine include ZaZa, Pegasus, Neptune’s Fix, and Tianna Red. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 08:25 PM (E4rtv) 106

Dave Limp, the unfortunately named CEO of Blue Origin posted an optimistic sounding update on Bezos' Big Boom at LC-36. He says the tank farm is good, water tower good, and the umbilical tower can be repaired in place. The transporter-erector is gone, but he says they're moving to a "vertical conop", which means vertical concept of operations -- they're going to stack the rockets vertically and transport to pad that way, apparently. He says they'll be flying again before the end of the year. We'll see. Still no word on the cause of that explosion.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia ======= The People's Liberation Army. They told Mao ditch the yutes and the Gang of Four or be deposed. And they had the guns and people to do it. Mao crumbled and his wife plus the other members of the gang of four were swept out of power and you got the old PLA comrades of Mao come back into power--Chou En Lai, who then brought back Deng Tsao Ping, etc. It probably helped that China and USSR nearly came to the USSR launching a nuclear attack on China for being batshit crazy during the Amur River crisis. USSR asked us if it was okay to nuke China through back channels which is what started the Nixon administration to try to woo China for that and Vietnam.

We got some “Pimp Grade Maeng Da” (supposedly the most powerful processed kratom money can buy) to see if it helped the knee pain. He tried it and saud it didn’t really help, That could be because he got tolerance from all the painkilkers he took, though. A lot of people use it for pain management and swear by it. It’s also good for ex-heroin addicts who are trying to tamp down urges. You could try some and see if it helps.

At the latest stages of the Cultural Revolution, in 1975, Zhou pushed for the "Four Modernizations" in order to undo the damage caused by Mao's policies.
And that was the beginning of the end of the Gang of Four. Zhou was dying of bladder cancer and preceded Mao's death but the pathway and successor to Mao was not going to the Red Guard and the associated Gang of Four. Mao died and Huo Guofeng got rid to the Gang formally but their power was shriveling as the olds came back to power in key positions from political Siberia.

Posted by: Oldcat ====== We are seeing natural THC levels at 18-20-30 percent compared with the 3-8 percent of yore in 70's marijuana. Synthetic or spiked natural products like gummies, vaping extract, etc. are even higher. Cannabis concentrates represent the highest THC level products, typically containing 60% to 90% THC. And are responsible for the bulk of emergency room THC poisoning cases, Like in Colorado, "Emergency room visits for marijuana-related issues rose three-fold between 2012 and 2016, with edibles causing disproportionate adverse reactions despite comprising less than 1% of total THC sales."

Posted by: Aetius451AD ====== During my various surgeries and accidents, I am well acquainted with opiods. Frankly I don't care for them. I take them as prescribed and finish the prescription and don't get a second one. For things like knee surgery and the immediate need for rehab, they are a necessary evil but I don't like feeling like I don't care whether I am alive or dead. I got Dilaudid after crushing my knee cap in a fall from the ER. Don't care for it, makes me nauseous. Had morphine drips in hospital for knee surgery, don't care for it, destroys my personality into a flat affect, had oxycontin, gives me an excruciating headache and nausea. Told docs I was allergic to it. Substitued vicodin, slight relief, but you cannot think on it and it last just enough during sleep that you wake up after 4-5 hours in pain. Had fentanyl for recent spinal surgery, arm and elbow surgeries, etc. It eliminates pain but also thought. So, outside of actual surgery, I find painkillers as a drag--they give you constipation, they cloud your mind, etc. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 09:05 PM (E4rtv) 171

Posted by: Blonde Morticia The thing is that these Red Guard did not, when grown up, go back to their youth days, because in fact they just wanted to make money by that point like good capitalists did. Our Red Guard today are already wealthy and yet pine to make us all poor. Wealthy people cosplaying as revolutionaries to give their wretched lives some meaning.

Posted by: Aetius451AD Acute pain like kidney stones need treatment. But taking them for chronic pain is like putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger. I have chronic pain due to arthritic damage from inflammatory arthritis. Major joints are deteriorated, nerves got pinched by bone spurring, etc. My conclusion is better to just live with it and use heat, ice, stretching, pt, movement, and sleep as best as you can. Beats whatever the chemists cook up in the long run plus much less side effects. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 09:12 PM (E4rtv) 174

Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 09:05 PM (E4rtv) I'm with you whig. I'm weaning off oxycodone after almost 5 years on it, after multiple back surgeries during that time. I hate it with a passion and have been off for 2 weeks now. The pain is still there but I'd almost rather deal with that than the side-effects of the drug. My biggest regret is getting the surgeries. I think they actually made me worse. Posted by: Chairborne!...Desk From Above! at June 02, 2026 09:15 PM (CNncw) 176

How AI describes Ranked Choice Voting (RCV):
How RCV Works Ranking Candidates: Voters can rank candidates from their most preferred to least preferred. Vote Counting: All first-choice votes are counted initially. If a candidate receives more than 50% of the first-choice votes, they win. If no candidate achieves a majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Votes for the eliminated candidate are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the voters' next preferences. This process continues until a candidate secures a majority. Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 02, 2026 10:00 PM (l3cgK) 187
So RCV means if you have one Rep and 2 dems, and the Rep gets 49.99% of the vote a Dem will probably win...

Polls will close momentarily here in California.
One disheartening thing for Republicans is that the Party couldn't come up with recommended candidates for some offices. CalMatters was one of the better sources of briefs on leading candidates for some of these offices. And of course, 61 candidates for governor was kind of entertaining during the voting process.

Schumer would only say that the Democrats are going to beat Susan Collins. "I met with Graham Platner today," Schumer told reporters at his weekly news conference. "We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."He also re-stated his endorsement of the Nazi. NC Research All the other Nazis are lining up behind their bearded beflanneled Reinhard Heydrich. By the way, I'm not going to be covering the California mayoral and gubernatorial elections tonight. California may take weeks to " " " count " " " the " " " votes. " " " They need to figure out how many they need to manufacture and then manufacture them. Democrats really enjoy "winning" "elections" in the 5th Quarter. The Police-Assisted Race Murder continues to cause controversy, for some reason. Cathy Newman, who was exposed for her low-IQ hackery by Jordan Peterson ("so you're saying women are lobsters..."), doesn't understand why anyone would feel "rage" at the murder of Henry Nowak. When asked what emotion she feels, she won't answer, and insists that she is the one doing the interviewing. But when her interview subject makes points she doesn't want made, she repeatedly interrupts him and now changes the nature of the discussion: Now it's not that she's interviewing him, so his words should be the star. Now they're having a conversation, and she should get to make all the political points she wants to make.
Matt GoodwinThere are many such posts on Twitter, pointing out that leftists declared that it was good to be angry -- and justifiable to riot -- after George Floyd committed suicide by eating all of the drug evidence against him now saying that people just need to accept that their lives are subject to the whim of whatever orc feels aggrieved today.

I had to bug out and prepare lunch but I am back with a thought.
When I first heard the rivers of blood speech, I was surprised that Enoch Powell said something about how the young in England see no hope for the future and many plan to emigrate. Surprised because things were not so bad back then, but maybe in mill towns (where he was mostly talking about) it was already very bad. Many paki's imported as cheap mill labor. (the left made it all about "blacks" and the windrush 1000 or so and racism, not the 10s of thousands of pakis and cheap labor. In grad school I knew a few expats and I was even then surprised (80s) that many said there was no future and no upward mobility in UK. To become better than what you are born, you have to emigrate. Yesterday JJ links had an item that Britain got 1M migrants and 600K citizens leaving just last year! Decades of that, and mostly all that are left are serfs. All is lost.

Behind Bass and the other Democrat. I will not be surprised if Bass officially gets more than 50 per percent. Then there will not be a subsequent election in November; Bass will be elected mayor in today's jungle primary. It's the safest course for the Democrats.

And then the rigged their party *from* having a primary doubling-down on Joe in 2024, until he utterly collapsed like we suspected he would, and then they crane-lifted Kamala who hadn't won a primary, and on and on it goes.

We could otherwise consider it the death-rattle of a party how they have a chain of incidents where they are forced into decisions.
Now, well we have to run Platner because--vetting be fucked! And we have to have somebody with some semblance of testosterone-which again--the elite Dems pretty much despise. Posted by: Axeman ======= Democrats are simply an organized crime syndicate designed to capture government to rob it with patsy front men while the ones behind the scenes make bank from fraud and cronyism. They use commie philosophy and commie rhetoric to hide behind and rally their mentally defective storm troopers but these assholes running the Dem party don't believe in anything other than getting paid. Same with their gimmedat faction that is fine with white libs trooning their kids, having no kids, etc. as long as the gimmedats get their fraud from Uncle Sam. And the cosplay college factions are a bunch of loser lunatics that want to burn everything to the ground because they have been educated beyond their native intelligence. Same with the asshole foreign college crowd, they want to bring their own country crap with them. So you get a shitshow of a party. Posted by: whig at June 02, 2026 07:03 PM (E4rtv) 154
It might be that der Putzkommandant - or his staff - are noting to the DNC that if he's forced off the race after all this dirt which is now public already, the DNC has no leverage anymore. So Platner could just endorse Collins and send his fans over to MAGA.
I suspect a few Platner supporters went to him because they just don't like Collins. A lot of us right here don't like Collins. Posted by: gKWVE at June 02, 2026 07:04 PM (gKWVE) 155

Did Platner actually sext women other than his wife? Or did he only sext minors? Of course the Beltway perverts see nothing wrong with sexting minors and having NAZI deaths head tattoos etc etc. I'm not up with the times, but to me it IS a bit surprising that they don't even care that Platner did not remove the tattoo, and scrub his online history a bit before running for U.S. senator. Seems they either think normies are a minority and can be ignored, or they expect they can cheat enough that normies can be ignored even if they are more than 50% of voters. I hope they are wrong.

Posted by: Dark Lixtiquatal ------ We have had alcohol and learned how to deal with in society since the mists of pre history. Not really true of today's bio engineered THC products. We are essentially running a massive natural experiment how high THC dosages affect people and so far, the data doesn't look good. Kids are getting hold of edibles, you have massive spikes in THC related poisonings in hospitals in places like Colorado, it is killing pets that end up ingesting it. It is a societal problem that too many casual users of pot ignore in order for access to what they want. And the whataboutism is simply boring and tedious by this time. Uneducated kids in public schools, well whatabout parents that homeschool their kids and do nothing with them---etc. etc. We have ran unregulated THC natural experiment long enough to know that it is causing serious problems for society. We already know those relating to alcohol or even opium, not from high THC products. And we should address those problems by regulation just as we do with gas station heroin products at gas stations.

Normalizing vices is the way the Left keeps people poor and dependent.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh Yep. The rich get sent to dry out clinics while the poor get sent to prison from misbehaving under the influence. Poor have no insulation while money buys a lot of lawyers and the ability to payoff people rather than going to jail. Middle class is most likely to get it from both ends, they can afford enough decadence to ruin themselves thoroughly but don't qualify for a lot of safety net benefits of the truly poor--so they often get a double whammy being launched in the street people class with little or no understanding how those worlds work.

Okay, I did my own research. If we were to airdrop Liberty Starter Kits on Britain (formerly Great), what calibers of Freedom Seeds would be most appropriate? Obviously, you would want ones where you could get more.
Although many police in England are unarmed, what guns they have are fortunately quite standard. They use 9mm pistols, 5.56x45mm carbines, 7.62x51mm sniper rifles, and 12-gauge shotguns. Typical NATO loadout. I was unable to get a clear answer for what might be found in a typical mosque armory, but arrest data indicates that the guns most commonly found on criminals in England and Europe are 9mm pistols, while the most commonly confiscated smuggled guns are AK-47s. I didn't realize 9mm was such a standard for cops and criminals alike, so that makes things easier. Several companies make Pistol-Caliber Carbines that take Glock magazines, which are very common indeed, and that would add accuracy and comfort if you're not concerned with concealability. So that would be my suggestion, if we arm the Native Britons against their alien conquerors and Vichy collaborators, just go 9mm for long and hand Pew Pews alike, and with compatible magazines too.

Typhoid,Polio, Giardia, and Hep A,and Dysentery, were common mass epidemics based on contaminated drinking water.

Posted by: ... ====== Yes which is rather stupid for a product named 'weed' for ease of growth. Greshams law meant that illegal weed was still cheaper than government weed because the costs of production were cheaper. That is not true of distilling which is a pita and somewhat dangerous for unskilled people to do. And homemade wine or beer can often be a frustratingly slow and tedious process to learn enough to make it taste okay. If the court ruling that home distilling is protected activity, I doubt that many people would actually do it versus buying it from the liquor store.

If you drank water in those days, your life would be a lot shorter because of contaminated sources. So people drank booze.
Posted by: whig --------------- I have always been skeptical about this. Lots of 3rd world countries people drink water. There are only a few situations where it is a big problem. (like botfiles or during a typhus outbreak.) I wonder if this is true, or just sounds true. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at June 02, 2026 07:46 PM (cJsXl) 311

Apparently Iran is popping off a few missiles... again. Tousi is live. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at June 02, 2026 07:45 PM (/lPRQ) there is this "U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2. Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces. Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island. No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire" LOL "ceasefire" Posted by: runner at June 02, 2026 07:47 PM (GD0B3) 313

I howled in laughter at tbe idea that people were going to give up their dimebags, or whatever they call it, for the extremely expensive legal stuff.
Posted by: Tammy al-Thor ======= Some probably do, but that is the same for craft beer drinkers versus whatever is cheapest at the liquor store. The mass of the market just wants shit to get them f*cked up. You cannot explain Blatz, Milwaukee's Best (an oxymoron title of course), Colt 45 Malt Liquor, and other nasty concoctions. Same with the cheap generic red or white wines or fortified wine like Night Train. So the mass of people were always going to buy the illegal shit and if caught, how do the cops distinguish between illegal and legal weed. Answer--they can't.

Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at June 02, 2026 07:38 PM (qx7Zg) In theory yes; in practice no. I believe that he would have to break 50% in order to win outright, and he's polling under 25% in the multi-candidate matchup.

Schumer is 'supposed' to be Jewish. He even patronizes those districts and synagogues. An yet he supports the election of an anti-seminist, Nazi death camp guard heritage. This begs the question, 'Just what is Charles Schumer? To whom does he represent? He is the typical Jew building a golden calf at the base of Mt. Sinai. Professing his fealty to false idols in hope of personal gain. He hoped to gain another seat in the Senate in spite of his Jewish constituents. Better to have a Nazi (anti-sematic) vote than a Heritage Republic, conservative vote that defends our Constitution of "We the People (citizens)".

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at June 02, 2026 05:43 PM (a6xXE) It is what Democracy turns into. Everyone demanded a buy in, and once they saw someone else demand and get more, they upped their bids. All that demanded someone lose everything to pay for the masses' demands, and once they had gone that far, they needed to end any counter revolutionary action, and give the mob more spectacular deaths of traitors and enemies to keep them from turning on the government. What ended the Terror was that it started preying on the people with guns and political power who realized they would not be left for later. They were, of course, so smeared by their silence during the Terror, they had no legitimacy in the face of the economic and military collapse. That is when Napoleon came in as first Consul.

Posted by: Oldcat at June 02, 2026 05:43 PM (8avO+) London only dominates as long as the City of London banking cartels are solvent.

Posted by: Kindltot at June 02, 2026 05:55 PM (rbvCR) They have too deep a cultural hit even on the opposition. The US has far more skepticism of the powers that be than the most radical Englander.

Honestly, I don't understand the thinking behind promoting anti-white racism esp in Britain. It becomes a goose/gander situation if violent Racism is suddenly A-Ok. That's how you wind up with a race war. I suppose that's why Starmer & Company are flooding the zone with foreigners. It bends the outcome of such a war against the native Brits.

This shit started with us. Posted by: ace This time before the next presidential election might be our last shot, imho. What's stopping those British citizens from really attacking those police is their core beliefs & upbringing. (That's what is still holding our country together, too.) They're mostly decent at their core, they're in pain, they don't understand how they & theirs really don't matter. (Ditto here.) The British have had huge grooming scandals, how many innocents jailed, senseless stabbings in London & other cities, police deaf to the common British citizen - for how long? If people like them finally break & retaliate, and then turn against & break the police, then it's obvious everyone will be on their own, at least for some period of time. Scary reality.

The founders painted with a not-so-analytic brush. Goodwill comes from God. Thus it is in observation of the need of rulers to have the good of the individual in mind, that prompted letting people speak their minds. To many tyrannical governments over the ages, Locke's principle that the mind cannot be compelled, just meant they would have to kill you or maim you or torture you until you didn't stand in the way. And maybe if they inflicted enough pain, you can at least be compelled to stay out of their way. However, he wrote his Letters to a people professing Christianity, and torturing others for having a different witness. And eventually, we were able to convince that crowd that God perhaps did not want this. Posted by: Axeman at June 02, 2026 06:27 PM (Fi81e) 294

The Hebrew God is integral to Locke's interpretation the first right "Right to Life". (Suck it, Straussians)
You're right to live that a Christian government is duty-bound to recognize is based on your prohibition to do away with yourself. To live until God determines your death. And it made sense to Locke to say that because God does not want you to do away with yourself, the state should have a really good reason to do away with you. ("As a state of war", per Locke). Governments refused to give us these rights for a long time. Heck, Locke only wrote because the commissioned scholar Robert Filmer wrote the Patriarchia which argued "from the Bible" that you were the property of the King. And that God had granted various Biblical figures actual ownership over their siblings and progeny. So the state was full tilt in denying the rights English citizens already assumed to have, to not be possessions. But over time, governments, citing a King's service to God to rule, recognized a right to live, rights of self-determination, etc. It's almost walking-into-walls braindead to argue that you can just as easily synthesize this from any secular, empirical principle.

But atheists have to be free to slouch and kick the can down the road so they kinda-sorta believe in human rights, because that looks on on the buffet table, and no they can't say where specifically they derive the right, but they can believe in a right if it "makes sense".
However, you are only positively describing yourself as somebody who sees value in assessing other lives with value. Unless you're willing and able to tussle with Hume, you can't say where a normative description comes in. So other people are "free" to describe themselves as "I don't really fall for all that rights of man mumbo-jumbo". Posted by: Axeman at June 02, 2026 06:38 PM (Fi81e) 309
