The Morning Report — 11/21/25

Good morning kids. Here we are barely two weeks after New Yorkers went to the polls and elected a Muslim/Socialist mayor of the world's most Jewish city by population though certainly not in spirit or character. To add the most horrific insult to injury, that abomination came just a few days shy of the 87th anniversary of Kristalnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass where Synagogues and Jewish owned businesses were burned to the ground and ransacked with the full knowledge and approval of the Hitlerite Nazi German regime in reaction to the shooting death of a German diplomat in France by a distraught young Polish Jew. And by the next day thousands of Jews were rounded up and sent off and imprisoned. It marked what is recognized as the start of what became known as the Holocaust, a genocide which by the end of the Second World war claimed the lives of at least 6 million of Europe's Jews.

As kind of an aside, The Leftists are shrieking about ICE separating families and deporting illegal aliens and likening it to Nazis rounding up Jews, then using that as a justification to assault ICE and other law enforcement agents while amplifying the trope of President Trump as literally Hitler and all of us who support him as Nazis, fascists and white supremacists who must be resisted by any means necessary!

So, despite my clunky introduction, here we are a few weeks and 87 years after the aforementioned and this happened in New York City:

Columbia University student groups promoted a protest at which an anti-Semitic mob threw bottles and sticks at a Jewish group, which included at least two Holocaust survivors, outside a historic Manhattan synagogue.
Roughly 200 keffiyeh-clad agitators gathered outside the Park East Synagogue on Wednesday to protest an event hosted by Nefesh B’Nefesh, a nonprofit group that facilitates Jewish immigration to Israel, the synagogue’s cantor, Benny Rogosnitzky, told the Washington Free Beacon. The sticks and bottles they threw at a group of Jewish counter-protesters of about the same size injured at least one member of the synagogue, he said. . . The protest was organized by PAL-Awda NY/NJ, which has honored Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar as a "hero" and a "legend." Columbia University Apartheid Divest and the Columbia chapter of Students for a Democratic Society promoted the event on social media, sharing a flyer that read "NO SETTLERS ON STOLEN LAND." It also accused Nefesh B’Nefesh of holding a "settler recruiting fair" and listed the address of Park East Synagogue, which is led by Rabbi Arthur Schneier, a 95-year-old Holocaust survivor. . . In response to Wednesday night’s protest, Mamdani, through a spokeswoman, suggested that Nefesh B’Nefesh’s mission of bringing Jews to Israel violates international law.

Wait! Students For A Democratic Society I thought that that group disintegrated decades ago. Its members have got to be well into their 80s by now, if not rotting in hell. Meh, the friggin' Berlin Wall came down in 1990 and evidently it landed right on top of us. . .

But that last sentence in the pull quote is quite telling considering this item from the last day or so

This week, he reiterated his intention to honor the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest, should the Israeli leader ever visit New York City under his leadership. This is a position that he has maintained since his campaign, which was quite popular among the anti-Israel leftists in New York.

The salient point though is this is not about Netanyahu or Israel per se. This is about Islam and its unending crusade (pun absolutely intended) to conquer the world. In doing so its goals are first and foremost the death of every Jew and the subjugation, forced conversion or death of every other infidel or anyone who resists. It is self-evident in that staging a violent assault on a synagogue and those inside be they Jew or Gentile, that is thousands of miles from Israel (or the mythical land of "Palestine") has nothing to do with anything other than an act of terrorism.

And Zohran Mamdani hasn't even been sworn in. Maybe Jeremiah Wright can brush up on his Arabic and declare his famous words of G-damn America with Mamdani's reptilian claw on that accursed Koran.

And speaking of my hometown, there's this item that has ramifications for everyone who is forced to remain in that besieged city:

A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws.
Charles Foehner, 67, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal weapons possession Thursday in a deal to end his case more than two years after he fatally shot would-be thief Cody Gonzalez, who charged at him near his Kew Gardens home.
The Queens District Attorney’s Office chose not to prosecute Foehner, a retired doorman, for Gonzalez’s killing after he told cops that he’d defended himself from a mugger who lunged at him late at night holding what looked like a knife — but which turned out to be a pen.

And while Daniel Penny, might have been miraculously acquitted in a New York court in the accidental death of a psycho assailant who was threatening him and his fellow subway riders, after Penny got him in a stranglehold.

You better believe that no one will be safe from mere criminals to organized terrorists hunting Jews and infidels. In the wake of the Al Sharpton fomented Crown Heights pogrom of 1981, a number of Jewish safety patrols were formed in the orthodox and Hassidic neighborhoods, supported by the NYPD as an official arm of the Auxiliary police. it's a fair bet that Mamdani will have them disbanded as soon as he gets the chance.

And if anyone dares to effectively engage in self defense, every juror unlucky enough to pull jury duty will never vote to acquit lest they endanger themselves and their families.

Meanwhile, in another part of the ~~forest~~ jungle . . .

Consider Dearborn, Michigan, population just north of 100,000. If you were ranking American cities by population, Dearborn wouldn’t even crack the top 300. But the population that Dearborn does have is highly significant. Dearborn currently has a larger proportion of Muslims than any other city in the United States, and it recently became the first Arab-majority city in the country. Fully 55% of Dearborn’s residents say they have Middle Eastern or North African ancestry — which explains why Dearborn boasts the largest mosque in the entire continent of North America. Dearborn, as I’ve said before, is an Islamic capital at this point. It’s not an American city in any way. Dearborn has been conquered. And the few remaining Americans in Dearborn are now finding themselves surrounded by mobs of Muslims chanting Allahu Akbar, and telling them to leave the city.
This is footage that was taken by Nick Shirley, one of the few journalists who’s willing to travel to Dearborn. The footage shows Shirley attempting to interview an activist named Jake Lang — who was one of the pardoned January 6 defendants. But the interview doesn’t go anywhere, because at this point, Dearborn resembles Fallujah. . .
. . . To be clear about what we just saw: If you’re an American citizen, and the mob of Muslims that controls Dearborn believes that you’re a “racist,” then you’re not welcome in the city any longer. Your constitutional rights to freedom of expression are suspended. You will be surrounded and hounded. And indeed, that’s the official position of the government of Dearborn. It was just a few weeks ago, you may remember, that the mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hammoud, publicly berated a Christian pastor, telling him that he’s not “welcome” in the city because of his views. (This is the same mayor who, as we discussed yesterday, said he “disavows” the concept of assimilation.) So this tactic of driving out Americans who disagree with the Islamization of the city extends not just to the mob but to government officials in the city as well. That’s what makes this, among other things, a constitutional crisis.

For those who think that this madness will remain in NYC or Dearborn, or wherever else, and ultimately burn itself out, think again because you're whistling past a gate to hell — with the words "Arbeit Macht Frei" on them.

The Democrat Party, even in your neck of the woods is fully on board with this, if not publicly than for sure behind closed doors. And it matters not that you might be in a very dark and deep Red city or state. This cancer is still there. And most dangerously, it's in our schools.

And a mere molotov cocktail's throw from Dearbornistan, we have Mogadishu on the Mississippi:

Report: MN Somali Medicaid Fraud Investigation Reveals Terrorist Link — ‘Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota Taxpayer’ . . .But the fraud is far more widespread with far more money involved than was previously reported — all of which has been presided over by former Democrat Party vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz.
The money paid out by Minnesota’s scandal-plagued welfare schemes is monumental. The state’s failed Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program, for instance, was kicked off in 2021 with expenses expected to ring in at $2.6 million. But instead, the program paid out $21 million its first year. In each subsequent year the program ballooned to $42 million, then $74, and then $104 million, respectively. During the first half of 2025, costs had already reached $61 million, according to City Journal.
Fraud is also endemic in many of Minnesota’s other welfare programs. City Journal noted that a Somali woman named Asha Farhan Hassan has been charged with defrauding the state’s Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program of $14 million over fake diagnoses of autism in children of Somali migrants.
Prosecutors now say that Hassan and her cohorts approached Somali families and promised them kickbacks of between $300 to $1500 a month per child if they enrolled in the state’s autism treatment programs.

Have a great weekend.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

21 It’s Past Time Red States Challenge SCOTUS Decision That Opened America’s Schools To Illegal Aliens

Since the state law severely disadvantaged the children of illegal aliens, by denying them the right to an education, and because Texas could not prove that the regulation was needed to serve a "compelling state interest," the Court struck down the law.

I guess not spending a shit-ton of money isn't a "compelling state interest."

The protests last night about a mile from me were peaceful with only 10-20 people there, more cops. Today could be different.
To recap a trial of a NYS trooper had been going on. He did a traffic stop oh the Thruway . The driver was an African American guy with an outstanding warrant,with his young daughter in the car. He didn't cooperate and after pepper spray was used the driver drove away at high speed. The trooper did a pit move and unfortunately the little girl died.
The trooper was found not guilty of murder and reckless endangerment. The jury is still deliberating manslaughter. The NYS AG office of Letitia James is prosecutor per NYS law.

Can the Berkley Free Speech guys get it together? Interesting how “free speech” is only an issue when leftists are out of power. When they are in charge, as we’ve all seen in myriad ways, there’s no free speech, absolutely no dissent is allowed.

I once pointed out Uncle Miltie’s axiom “you can have open borders, or you can have a welfare state, but you can’t have both” in a discussion forum and one leftist went positively incandescent. Can’t recall what his response was materially because I think he had a stroke, but he thought it’s indeed possible, or something.

51 I disagree with the characterization of Dearborn. Yes, Dearborn has a large population of muslims. And elected a majority Muslim governance. But holding Jake Lang up as some virtuous protester is misguided. Lang is an instigator, like the left has in abundance. His stunt last week does nothing to highlight sharia law, which Dearborn does not have. You will find very few Christians or Jews in support of his ugly little parade last week. By the way Lang’s bus dropped his little cadre off to start their march in front of the Dearborn city owned nativity display, which is open to the public on city property downtown now, next to the Christmas tree.

Nvidia posted record revenues of $57 billion for the quarter, up 62% from the same period last year. (Tom's Hardware)

Nvidia predicts an even better result next quarter. Since the company already charges $100 per GB for memory on its high-end graphics cards, it is not going to feel the same pinch as regular users as memory prices soar across the board. It might cut margins from 90% to 85%.
Intel has reduced the price of its flagship Ultra 9 285K CPU to $429. (Tom's Hardware)

Not only is this a dead-end platform set to be replaced next year, but the upcoming - though still dead-end - Ultra 7 270K will provide the same performance for less money. The 270K is a refresh of the current 265K, which is selling for $300.

The push for a $25.00 minimum wage is on.

So with a $15.00 minimum wage, young folks couldn't afford a house.

With this, they won't be able to afford a car, either.

One side keeps saying, "This will cause prices to rise." One side keeps saying, "No it won't." One side keeps being right. Idiots keep voting for the others.

Raising the minimum wage is a contributing factor in restaurants dying, and local shops dying, and workers being replaced by folks who don't have to be paid the minimum but, sure, let's be fucking stupid yet again.

And I would bet large sums of money that these movements are supported by folks with government union jobs, where the wage structure is based off of minimum wage.

Raise the minimum wage, raise their hourly wage as well.

All without ever having to go n strike, or have your union associated with the movement.

58 >> Uranus is the planet that essentially rolls around the Sun on its side, right? It has an inclination of close to 90 degrees?

Yes, indeed. Axial tilt (obliquity) is about 98 degrees. Meaning it's a slightly upside down, north pole point below the orbital plane.

Even stranger, there is big difference between the magnetic axis and the axis of rotation. The dipole axis is tilted 59 degrees relative to the rotational axis. As Uranus rotates, the dipole whips around with each revolution.

Not just government unions. When I got out of the Navy I briefly worked with the electrician's union and their pay was a multiple of the minimum wage.

I found that out when one guy said that they hated Reagan cuz they didn't get a raise while he was in office. I asked what the President had to do with civilian electricians.

Oh, "obliquity" is the term for the axial tilt, relative to the planet's orbital plane. "Inclination" refers to the tilt of the orbital plane itself relative to some reference plane.

For observational convenience that reference plane is usually the ecliptic. Uranus' inclination is small, about 0.8 degrees to the ecliptic. So Uranus stays very close to the ecliptic over its entire orbit.

For other purposes, like moons of planet or satellites, the reference plane will be the equatorial plane of the planet, although the tilt of the plane relative to the ecliptic can be useful as well. For example, the ISS has an inclination of about 52 degrees.

73 I used to be neutral about the whole LLM thing. I figured it would be annoyingly over-hyped for a bit and then go away, and at least it would spur on nuclear power development.

Now I see that it's destroying any remaining basis for consistent common knowledge, and doing so faster than I would've believed. And the nuclear power is in small units, for the oligarchs and the privileged corporations, not for people like us. At this point I'd be shocked if we see any of those benefits flow down. More likely we'll just wind up paying for them via tax subsidies and forced industry costs of "AI".

80 From the Maths Article:

During the George W. Bush administration, federal policy emphasized accountability for public schools. Schools that saw poor performance on standardized tests received increased funding at first, but if scores still didn’t improve, they had their funding pulled. Research suggests that this helped improve math outcomes, particularly for poor Black students.
After 2015, however, the federal government backed off from its accountability measures, which had faced bipartisan criticism.

Obamas 7th full year when the Bush reforms were finally eliminate.

A recent report from UC San Diego faculty and administrators, that number is more than 900—and most of those students don’t fully meet middle-school math standards. Many students struggle with fractions and simple algebra problems. Last year, the university, which admits fewer than 30 percent of undergraduate applicants.

It's worse towards the end of the week. I just try to take it one day at a time and write up the students who need to be written up (often a verbal warning is enough.)

They finally removed one of the problem children from my bus for a few days. Not sure how long that will be, but knowing this kid, it may be a while. He refuses to obey ANY authority figure. I'm sure the princpal was real impressed when he pulled the kid into his office.

All I can say is all the years of being a stern father (with a big scary presence) are now paying off.

A nice mixed of unstable, unreliable, liars and con artists that will spend the next 347 telling California impossible, implausible, and unaffordable ideas to finally make California a Modern Socialistic Republic.
The winner will be the best cheater as LA County alone has 20% of the voter rolls (6 M) filled with a combination of illegals, dead people, and people that escaped the Republic in CV19 years.

Best way to do it is to just do it.

Grab an old piece of hardware such as an old laptop (5-8 years old), grab a USB thumbdrive, make a booktable USB version of Linux Mint (as one possible example that is Ubuntu/Debian based and is user friendly), then, using boot options, boot from USB into Linux Mint.

Spend some hours poking around.

You don't need high-spec hardware to get started. Using older hardware is probably preferred for a new user, since all drivers and bugs would have been worked out, most likely.

Typically, those bootable USB or live versions have the option to install straight from the live session.

Sleepy Joe's Birthday

El Rushbo used to call him "Plugs" Biden. I can think of a whole bunch of things to call him, but I won't. Anyway, today is his 83rd birthday. I have no wishes for him, good or bad. How about we just enjoy some of his "greatest" moments?

Here's a longer video from the same folks

And who can forget this brilliance?

Which inspired this greatness

-----

Let's also revisit this highlight of his career

The Presidential dream was one Biden kept alive for years, and as early as 1984 he was tipped to be a Democratic candidate. Following his announcement for candidacy in 1987, Biden was outlined as one of the stronger hopefuls. However this hope wasn’t reflected in the primaries and his performance in the first in Houston, Texas in July received a mixed bag of responses.
Richard Gephardt and Michael Dukakis were Biden’s main rivals for the Democratic ticket in the election, and by August 1987 both were ahead of his. The following month, on September 12, stories were ran in the New York Times and other large publications about a controversy that would bring Joe Biden’s campaign to a grinding halt.
The reports were damning and suggested that Biden had used extracts of a speech made by the Labour Party leader at the Welsh Labour Party Conference in 1985 in his own.

81 million votes in 2020. Don't ever forget it, and don't you DARE question it!

Speaking of Curmudgeons

Yeah, ol' Scranton Joe could certainly be a grump. Coincidentally, on today's Morning Report thread, commenters were talking about curmudgeons. That inspired me feature some rather grouchy folks here tonight. Just a few of the ones I thought of.

Windows 1.0 officially released to the public 40 years ago today (November 20), and despite its age, still has some common similarities with what users can expect from the operating system today.
Underpinned by the iconic MS-DOS command line, Windows 1.0 is notable in that it specifically required a computer mouse to navigate the graphical user interface (GUI). When the operating system first launched in the US it cost $99, equivalent to just over $296 in today’s dollars.

We are very rural without any handymen around. We love that, but it is difficult to get stuff done.

"I have good news! At my appointment Monday the Doctor said my bloodwork is nearly perfect and my cancer cell count is dropping. I'm in minimal pain. The chemo is working thanks be to God! I will go back in three weeks for another round of chemo and then they will do a CT scan to see if I can have surgery to clean out the rest of the tumors. I am convinced - CONVINCED - that this is due in no small part to the treasured prayers of friends and family! They gave me weeks, and now I'm looking at possible remission."

37 American Revolution Ep 5. This was one that I saw coming. Early war results, including the Brits abandoning Philadelphia. Washington has no ability to get them out of New York. The French navy comes and abandons the seaboard. Brits turn their interests to the south and take Savannah and Augusta. The French navy comes back but doesn't stop for long. THEN, we get to the relatively vast coverage of the slaves and indians. The slaves are caught no matter which way they turn and many southern slaves turn to the Brits. The indians are massively assaulted and many of their towns burned along with crops and trees. Money is tight on both sides. Washington continues to prevail with the troops, but not with the congress. Stay tuned.

40 Gephardt's main problem was that nobody could spell his name. I still have to look it up...
Anyway in 1987 I recall the Demos figured it was Gary Hart[pence]'s turn. Anyone else running then was there to maybe have a shot at 1992. But Hart couldn't chain down his own dick. So, the "seven dwarfs" of 1988 it was.

Concur. They cherrypicked communications to Burns' own end. Was his attack brutal? Yes. Did it reduce the patriots need to defend against indian attacks? Yes.

Living where I do, I have long been aware of much of the USAs indian history. Long story shortened is that we took the land from them and never made a treaty we kept. The indians are getting back to the US with casinos and tax free tobacco, I guess.

When we were doing final clean up at the MoMe, I grabbed your case to put in the lost & found for next year.

Weasel said that was some black powder stuff that Doof was going to give to someone that was shooting black powder rifles and that I should take it.

I swapped out range guns/ammo today for deer guns/ammo and actually opened the case. It does contain black powder, plus a fair bit of .22LR ammo.

What do you want me to do with all of that? I fear there has been a bit of miscommunication.

72 2News submitted public-records requests for the surveillance footage of Robinson walking into the sheriff’s office and any holding-area video.

“We do not have any records responsive to this portion of the request, as Tyler Robinson did not go to or enter the jail area,” a records officer with the Sheriff’s Office told the station.

The station reported, “Holding room video was denied as part of the investigation.”

When pressed with a broader request for any surveillance video of Robinson entering the building, officials suddenly changed their story, claiming the footage no longer exists because it was automatically deleted after the department’s 30-day retention period.

1. He will be Epsteined
or
2. He will be Escaped (gone forever)
or
3. He will be disappeared (like 2 but never existed)

I am going with 3. I think there will be a Jedi Mind Trick and the entire murder will just go away.

I got to "meet" Walter back in the early days of Jeff Dunham's career. Saw Jeff several times at a small comedy club in Baltimore as he was getting his start. He'd come out after the shows and talk to the fans. He brought Walter out one time and let us all talk to him. Such a talented guy. We kinda knew he'd become yuuuuuge.

100% of Liberals have no issues with a criminal, low trust mindset as they think that the next case will be about guns (to take them away) or speech (to take that away) or police (no realtime interactions).

100 When pressed with a broader request for any surveillance video of Robinson entering the building, officials suddenly changed their story, claiming the footage no longer exists because it was automatically deleted after the department’s 30-day retention period.

1. He will be Epsteined
or
2. He will be Escaped (gone forever)
or
3. He will be disappeared (like 2 but never existed)

I am going with 3. I think there will be a Jedi Mind Trick and the entire murder will just go away.

Speaking of, there's an interview of Charlie Kirk's head of security on the Shawn Ryan show that really doesn't make him look good. The rooftop was an area of concern but it seems like the UVU Police Chief told him "we've got you covered" but the security guy never followed up. Didn't ask what that entailed, didn't have anyone check on it, anything. I'm no expert but it just sounds like he dropped the ball. I know hindsight is 20/20 and all that but it seems negligent.

104 Long story shortened is that we took the land from them and never made a treaty we kept.
——

“We” did no such thing, that stuff was all a long, long time ago. Everyone involved is long dead.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Indians weren’t all that much into treaties either. One problem, they didn’t have a hierarchical system of formal government. They had Chiefs, but he wasn’t necessarily in charge, per se. The warriors held sway.

When say, a peace treaty was brokered between two warring tribes they often didn’t last long, and the fact that it had failed didn’t seem to faze the signers. “We can’t control those young bucks” was their explanation, and they were probably correct.

But - they still felt they were due the “presents” and payments and the rest of it under the terms of the treaty just the same. They didn’t acknowledge any contradiction there.

160 In more mundane matters, I can report that the natural peanut butter purchases were, in my view, a success - and simply pouring off the excess peanut oil at the top, (save it for frying) and then stirring makes a peanut butter that no longer resembles pancake batter in consistency.

They don’t add any sweeteners, in any of the brands I’ve tried at least. Many of the big brands add mollasses, so it’s not immediately sweet like you might be used to. And some of the natural peanut butter brands skimp a bit too much on the salt. The Kroger branded was good, the Simple Truth not so much. The Adams could use more salt. All of them are a lot more expensive than the hydrogenated oil types. I’m not sure why that is, exactly. I assume they strip off the peanut oil and sell it for more money. Something like that?

166 In a fit of nostalgia I looked up the address where I first grew up on Google Street View. A couple of years ago, the house was still there, altered somewhat but recognizable. Now it’s a parking lot for a bunch of medical clinics. They must have rezoned the neighborhood, although houses still appear a couple of blocks to the south. Plus ça change… My paternal grandmother’s house is still there: it fronts a city park and was in a very desirable neighborhood. I guess it will last a while.

168 It's spooky what cities can do sometimes.
There's entire streets and neighborhoods in downtown Long Beach that are now gone.

OTOH, they actually have some ancient streets downtown that today are barely wide enough for an alley. It's obvious they were built for 1910-size cars. And in nearby Signal Hill, there are spots near old oil derricks where there's a street sign, but no surviving street to be found.

I don't think either house has regular tours since both are occupied by private owners, at least when I was in Liverpool a few years ago.

Sabotage was a great, great video. Brings back memories.

Back in the 80s, I was a real nightclub goer. We even had a public access cable show where we'd go to clubs, get free drinks, and hang out in VIP areas just to have fun. It was amazing what a camera could do for you back then.

Anyway, I remember hanging out at the Palladium nightclub on E. 14th St. in NYC (that site is now a dorm at NYU called...Palladium). We were in the Mike Todd Room, which was the VIP club at the place. Beastie Boys did a short set there, where they dressed up as Hasids and rapped a parody of My Adidas called My Big Deli. Hilarious. A great group of guys, and an unforgettable night.

When we moved to Wyoming ten years ago we rented a house for a few years. It was an awesome old house that a lot of cool old fashioned features. It had an ironing board that was built into a wall, that kind of stuff. We loved the house.

The next tenants decided to hook up a ratty ass camper to the electric in the old house and burned down the house.

House was condemned and demolished.

"Natural" peanut butter is the only way to go, both for eating and, especially, for cooking (eg, hot peanut sauce for Indonesian dishes). "Regular" peanut butter is simply peanut-flavored margarine. If the list of ingredients has anything other than peanuts and salt, it's not worth eating.

The Fresh Thyme chain has a store-brand natural peanut butter that is really good. Loblaws (the Canadian chain) has a natural peanut butter in their President's Choice house brand that also is excellent.

Urban renewal is where they buy properties in lower class neighborhoods, tear down any structures on them, then sell the bare land for a fraction of what their cost was to the politically connected, usually with some sweetheart (taxpayer-funded) financing to go along with it.

Fucking squat, thats what they do. The troop was an eagle scout mill, and nothing else. I asked about camping. They tell me maybe 1 or 2 times a year. Shit, we camped at least 3 times a month, sometimes every weekend. It blew my mind. Yeah, my troop was a high adventure troop because the scout master was an insane mountain climber and a total outdoors dude, so we did it all, and even back then was probably not the norm for a scout troop. Still, 2 camping trips a year?? Lame, very lame. I hope thats not the norm for other troops. Without that shit you're just a social club.

My troop had a private campsite just over the eastern North Carolina border. I was a patrol leader. As a patrol, we'd often go there for a Friday night to Sunday afternoon campout. There's was always one adult who could go. One time, we couldn't get a scout leader as they were all busy so my Mom volunteered. I asked my patrol if they were good with that and it was like, 'We can still go camping? Great.'

My Mom told people that was the most relaxing weekend she'd had. She had to do nothing, as the other guys were just happy to be camping so they brought her, like the Queen of Sheba, whatever she needed.

Around Moyock. Back then, about an hour and a half drive from Norfolk before all the road improvements, in some places from 2 to 6 lanes. It's the same road to the Outer Banks, another hour or so drive further south.

Posted by: RickZ at November 21, 2025 01:25 AM (gKDq2)

This is exactly why I love camping. The fresh air, the glorious scenery, the men so happy to be in their natural state that they fall all over each other, leaving tributes at my feet. More like bringing me succulently prepared meats to the table, but you know what I mean. I just laze around reading in my camp chair, looking as cute as I can, cooing over their manliness and thanking God daily and out loud, for the perfection and utter deliciousness of men.

Feminists are lunatics.

253 Still, 2 camping trips a year?? Lame, very lame. I hope thats not the norm for other troops. Without that shit you're just a social club.

My experiences with the Boy Scouts was mixed. In my yewt I lasted all of one meeting. Michael "porky" Manass, son of the assistant Scout master, decided it would be funny to spit on the back of my head. Kid outweighed me by 50 lbs, but he was a tub of lard. My reaction was to turn around and give him a right cross to the nose, which exploded. Needless to say, I was told not to come back.
My son did Scouts for almost 5 years. I did 5 High Adventures and numerous other hikes and camp outs. I taught a 2 weekend course on winter survival. My son came to a point where he had to make choice between Scouting, work and music. He gave up Scouting. Still know a couple of the kids who made Eagle. Boy outstanding young men.

254 The biggest mistake they made was making me a patrol leader. I broke it off in their ass. We had 1 scout master and 2 assistant scout masters. One of the assistants had a son in the troop who made eagle, so he was the golden boy who got everything handed to him. His patrol had the older members, so at any multi troop competition he was supposed to be the chosen one. They gave me the misfits, we called ourselves the rat patrol. At one competition I went over the objectives with the dudes in the patrol, taught them the tricks without confusing them, and we kicked golden boy's ass. We got first place, of all the troops there we got first. Golden boy even sent somebody to sabotage us, which I picked up one. Some fat bastard who wasn't in the scouts anymore, who was 18, but still a friend of the troop. After we won I had the patrol dig a 7 foot deep pit outside the door of his pickup, lay plastic over it and throw dirt on it to hide it. His fat ass fell to china. I leaned over the hole and said "you don't get up early to fool me, you just don't go to sleep". We left him there. lol

255 Our campsite was on a brackish, black water 'larger than a creek', I guess maybe 30 feet wide; about 40 yards away was the cattail swamp marsh typical to the Tidewater area. We could go swimming in warmer weather; we had a 55-gallon drum plywood-topped 'barge'. Just had to throw a few rocks into the water first to scare away the water moccasins.

Would I do it today? No. I'm at the point where I want to see the bottom of wherever I happen to be swimming. You avoid critters that way.

256 The East German Cub Scouts had mini Tanks.
If scouts in my area had those I would have been a super scout. I hated that we didn't go shooting like every day. That I had to earn my pocket knife. Do arts and crafts. Earn badges. I don't need no stinking badge. I wanted the military stuff and there wasn't enough to keep me interested. Plus the scoutmaster's kid was a dick. Later in life he showed up to a paintball gig we were doing. I shot the fucker probably 40 times that day.

260 I was lucky. My Scoutmaster didn't have kids. He did it for the joy and also teaching young boys. He was an older civilian aircraft mechanic at NAS Norfolk. He was a rebel. We never went to summer camp at our Council's place but to another district one more than two hours further away. Great place, right on Lake Gadsen, near the VA-NC border. He hated our Council leadership. Called them clowns. That made Scouting fun, being with the rebel team.

We were all equal in his eyes, until proven otherwise.

Long after he retired from Scouting, some would visit him, including me. This one time I was there and another former Scout showed up from before my time, then wearing a Naval aviator's uniform. That's the kind of Scoutmaster he was. Mr. Erwin did good.

Survival trips, silent swims, cliff climbing, repelling, week long kayak trips in Maine, hiking up to the summit of Mt washington and climbing some cliffs along the way, cross country skiing.

Our main scoutmaster was cool. He was 49 at the time. He treated everybody the same, and was really a cool dude. The 2 assistants were total dicks. One was a WWII vet from the pacific theater, and a drunk. The other, golden boy's father, was a fucking asshole.

I didn't even scratch the surface of the shit we did. We did 60 miles on the Appalachian trail, kayaked 70 miles on the Allagash river in Maine AFTER spending months building kayaks. The wooden frame kind with the covering stretched over the frames and we lost one in white water rapids, it got stuck between 2 rocks and literally snapped in half from the water pressure. We explored cave systems. I swear. I think the only thing we didn't do was fly planes. lol

269 Berserker,

When I went through The Order of the Arrow initiation, it was a Friday night to Sunday afternoon affair. That first night's blindfold hike was rough. Being roped together without being able to see -- tree roots and other lovely impediments to easy walking. This was on the southside of the lower James River, below Richmond. It had some gentle terrain, river erosion-type stuff. That night hike, though, with the only thing you could 'see' being the light from the flames of torches. Lots of stumbles. And it drizzled overnight, too, which made lighting fires fun.

Our winter jamboree one was called the Klondike. Again, it was in stokes state forest. Coldest damn camping I ever did. It was 10 below one year. We were heating large smooth rocks we found in the camp fire during the day, wrapping them in T-shirts and putting them in our sleeping bags at night as radiators. During the night we would swap them out with fresh ones from the fire. Rule 1 was to not let the fire go out, so during the night people would toss wood in the fire to keep the coals hot. It worked great.

Posted by: Duncanthrax at November 20, 2025 07:47 PM (0sNs1)

33 One of Mao Zedong's henchman, a trusted soldier from the time of the Long March, emerged in the 1960s as the director of a “social engineering” program that, although overshadowed by the horrors of the Great Leap Forward, nonetheless led to an epic destruction of life. The Great Waddle Backward was a policy of species cleansing carried out by the ominously-named Peng Wing Suk that resulted in the near extinction of penguins in China. Although penguins are naturally cautious and clever, this monster was so cunning, he was able to attract the penguin population to areas where they could be concentrated and slaughtered en masse in one of history's ghastliest episodes of Spheniscidacide. His craftiness was so great, in fact, that he acquired a nickname that has been anglicized as Peng Wing Fox – which bears an odd similarity to the nickname of an author of anti-penguin comments on this blog.

Uranus will be at opposition tonight, transiting just about at local midnight. Actual moment of opposition will be a little after 7AM EST.

So, if you can't tell it from a hole in the ground, go out about midnight, and it will be pretty close to due south, hiked up right on the ecliptic, which will be about 75 degrees here at ~35N.

Claims the Clintons were totally innocent, and Trump is guilty.

Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's listening to the brother of a guy most famous for raping children, talking to a guy who's brother is most famous for killing old people, is the best way to learn things in this world.

83 I have good news...
Last year we got a quarter of beef from my cousin. She has a small beef cattle operation. Best beef we've had in years. Ordered another quarter last week and it went to be processed Tuesday. The steer weighed in at 1303 lbs live weight.

Last year the quarter worked out to 352 lbs live weight at a cost of $774.40. That doesn't include processing.

This year the quarter works out to 325.75 lbs live weight with cost of $781.80. Again that doesn't include processing.

So the price is around $7 more for 25#s less. I thought it would be a lot higher than that.

Hopefully the processing fees won't have increased much. Last year it was around $250.

We were fortunate to get that quarter. Cousin lost a big steer a few weeks ago. One of the bigger ones that was just a few weeks from going to processing. Lost about $4000 on that one steer. She didn't say what happened to him or why he died. Just a huge loss for a small operation.

(looks it up) Ars Technica again.
Looks like Zork fell under the Activision umbrella (I think I knew that), which MS bought in 2022 (I probably knew that too). The code was uploaded to github already in 2019 (which I did not know).
What I did know: Zork and all Infocom games were done on the Z-machine. This has been open all through the 1990s. The "Inform" engine and "Glulx" are built upon that. Nobody had any copyrights to the Z-machine.
All we're really seeing here is the source code, which has been a dead letter, easily decompiled for decades.
kudos to Microsoft for at least not screwing over hobbyists I guess, which they likely had no right to do in the first place.

The Zork intellectual property is something else again, like any fiction work would be. Microsoft gets to keep that, which they paid for, so why not. (I still want my Zork Inquisitor sequel.)

The more time he spent with W, the more he seriously doubted the media. He left the media plantation after that.

Now, just because W wasn't dumb, doesn't mean his policies were smart. Doesn't mean that he was a net positive to the conservative cause.

It is not worth defending to him, and the lives of its citizens are not worth defending to him. (Doubtless the only thing that upsets him about 9-11-01 is that more Americans did not die.)

156 This MD-11 had like 93,000 hours and over 21,000 cycles. The left pylon spherical bearings had been serviced and such this past October. But what kind of detailed inspection happened then?

Going back in time, there were two elderly 707s that both had pylon attachment points fail causing the engine to fall off.

The recommended inspection was only for the outside of the pylon attachment which meant in the first case in Europe the corrosion merrily ate away on the inside so #3 cheerfully fell off during turbulence and since it was lonely it also took #4 with it. Amazingly the flight crew managed to land that 707.

The fitting was replaced by a stronger fitting.

177 Let's not conflate this MD-11 pylon failure with the United Airlines DC-10 pylon failure.

The DC-10 crash was nasty. This plane had a camera mounted in the tail, so the passengers saw the crash. When the engine separated it also took out hydraulics and knocked out the Captain's instruments since they were powered by that engine. Because of the hydraulic failure, some of the leading edge slats on that wing retracted which created asymmetrical lift.

My late first husband was a mechanic for a small cargo airline that ran out of the airport next to Purdue University in Lafayette Indiana. One of the run ways there had a hill? ridge? Not sure what to call it, it was for noise reduction. It was on the approach to the landing runway. Plane came in at night in fog. They were too low and crammed in to that hill/ridge. 3 crew members dead. R had to go out there the next morning because a mechanic had to be present when the FAA people got there. And he was the last mechanic who did maintenance on that plane. He said it was the absolute worst thing he ever had to do in that job. Flight logs, maintenance logs, flight recorder, he had to pull everything for them while knowing that 3 men he knew and worked with were just gone because of weather and a stupid runway approach.
They bulldozed that ridge and told the university to shut the fuck up about noise reduction.

Catholics are raised with the concept of purgatory, and I don't know how it works, but believe something must happen.

299 Interesting night in my little city. A NYS trooper is on trial. He did a pit move on a man who had his daughter in the car and fled the traffic stop. The man had a warrant. He is African American the trooper is white. The daughter was killed. A jury just found the trooper not guilty of murder and reckless endangerment, but are still deliberating on manslaughter.
Apparently lots of cops and protesters in the uptown area of my city , about a mile from me. Tempted to take a walk to see what's up but probably not a good idea

304 Hi all! First thing I see after a long crappy day is about penis enlargement so figure it’s as good a time is any to talk about the polite penguin (hi Dunc!).
You see, he is not being polite. He’s just waiting for all the assholes to get out of his way. They have a route, and schedule, to follow - from sea (fish/food) to nest (hungry babies).
If anything is on their routes they wait. They don’t have a mental map to go around you; they just wait.
Sometimes this means he/she is late to feed the baby and, subsequently, late to go back to the sea to repeat the process. Then the baby dies.
So it’s you who has to be polite and wait for the penguin to cross the pass.
The End.

Bad argument. That's like a Christian debater citing the Gospel of John to a Jew. Or a Muslim referring to the Quran against you.
You have to argue according to lore you both share.

344 The “Nuremburg Code” is not part of US law. Title 18 USC does prohibit forcing people to participate in experimental medical trials.

What I always thought was strange, was why an Insurance co. would pay out life insurance claims. If the WuHan lung rot killed a policy holder, they should have declined payment, on the basis “we don’t pay out on deaths resulting from biological weapons”

In the same way, if the vaccine killed people, “we don’t pay claims for death or injury resulting from experimental drugs”. Either stance is perfectly reasonable. The rot goes very deep indeed.

You don't run from the police with your daughter in the car. He's committing a crime by fleeing.

Unless a pit maneuver is illegal, the officer did nothing wrong. Someone died as a result of the father committing a crime. Usually there is a homicide charge when that happens Even if the person killed was a fellow criminal.

367 known as the Common Rule, which is now codified in Part 46 of Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations.[15][16] These regulations are enforced by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). In 1966, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was adopted by the United Nations, and after enough nations had ratified the Covenant, it came into force on 23 March 1976. Article Seven prohibits experiments conducted without the "free consent to medical or scientific experimentation" of the subject.[13] As of September 2019, the Covenant has 173 states parties.

380 Concerning seeing my father again (he's dead), I often come across things I know he would appreciate, and I want to show them to him, but then I remember how awful he was when we adopted our son. He doted on all his other grandkids but he told me flat out he didn't like my son. I don't think he should have expected me to stay close when he hated my boy. And then of course I took away his car keys and that was the end of any relationship we might have had.

389 The “Nuremburg Code” is great and all, but it’s a distraction.

US black letter federal law prohibits forcing participation in experimental drugs. It even prohibits coercion. “We’re not forcing you to take it, you can quit your job and go find another” was just evil.

They were not FDA approved until fairly late in the game. ”Approved” for Emergency experimental use is not the same as “Approved”. Ordinarily vaccines take 8 to 12 years, and only about 20% make the cut.

This was illegal as hell, and nobody in a position of power, nobody in the courts, it was all made up on the fly and pushed by the clowns in the “media” especially.

With Powell's scrapping of the Fed's inflation goals, there is not a lot of reason for Powell to drop rates in December.

They knew they were experimenting on people, and lied about what effects they already suspected, and forced people to take it.

This really is Crimes Against Humanity territory. There's no getting around it. Whoever one feels the need to protect, whether it's Trump or anyone else, the best defense you can say of them is they were too ignorant to know better.

So, we gotz us a Genetically altered Virus, made more deadly by that science... then we get a Gene Therapy shot to counteract some of the effect on Humans, while not actually combatting the virus itself...

The World's Most Ostentatious "True Conservative" Republican -- George Conway -- Might Run for Jerry Nadler's NYC House Seat... as a Democrat

As a Democrat? That makes no sense! George Conway is always boasting that he is the truest of all true conservatives!

Wait a sec -- could it be... and I'm just spitballing here... could it be that the liberal grifters grifting as "The True Conservatives for the Leftwing Antifa Democrat Agenda" are actually all limousine liberal Democrats and in fact have been all along?

Nah, that's crazy. They couldn't all just be lying to us.

Or... could they?

While I figure this puzzle out, peruse Just the News.

George Conway, a conservative lawyer but vocal critic of President Donald Trump, is considering jumping into the race to replace New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler next year, according to the New York Times.
Conway, who divorced his wife and former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway in 2023, told donors at a private virtual event for paid members of the liberal media outlet Democracy Docket on Tuesday that he was inspired to consider a campaign after eight Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government without a deal to extend expiring health care subsidies.

I call him a "literal cuck" but I don't know that for a fact. I can say that there is a widely-known rumor that when George Conway went crazy with Trump Derangement making a public spectacle of himself while his wife continued to work for Trump, the couple enjoyed a "Catholic divorce," which means they remained "married" for the sake of their daughter and appearances while living entirely separate lives, including dating.

And I do hear that Kellyanne was more successful in dating-while-married than Georgy Porgy.

Do I know that's true? No.

Do I guess that's true? Oh yeah, you betcha. I've got a bonus tweet after the jump that I think... let's say, it "paints a picture."

The former conservative said he would run as a Democrat if he jumped into the race, but admitted that the party swap could confuse some voters and "put some people off."

It will confuse literally zero voters. Everyone knows you're a butthurt liberal cuck.

"This is the time for a lawyer who has never been in politics to go into politics," Conway said.

This pussy has lived and breathed nothing but politics his whole life. His "legal" work is mostly political crap.

...
Conway also noted that he would serve as a "wingman" to other attorneys in politics, like Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin and New York Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman.

Perfect phrasing. No notes.

The attorney supported Trump when he won in 2016, but he broke with the president in his first term when he fired former FBI Director James Comey. He has since claimed Trump is a narcissist who is unfit for office.

He threw away his marriage and betrayed his wife over the firing of James Comey?

Oh I get it now -- he's insane.

Or... maybe I don't believe this tale. Maybe I believe something more along the lines of, one of the grifters of the NeverTrump movement made a cash-money offer to this lifelong political opportunist.

The below tweet was shared around political types last week. A friend showed it to me in a Chinese restaurant.

In the tweet, George Conway whines that his wife didn't "stick up for" him when he was betraying her by attacking her employer, Donald Trump.

She had a steady job. He didn't. And instead of just shutting up, he attempted to suddenly become a NeverTrump Political Celebrity, despite mostly being a behind-the-scenes operator his whole life. On account of him being uglier than James Carville's less-attractive testicle.

Kellyanne was the one who appeared on TV. Conway was the one who leaked to allies who then spoke on TV.

But suddenly, just in time for a mid-life crisis, Conway is beating down the doors at MSNBC to get a live-shot on TV.

And making everyone wonder: What is going on with their marriage, that this guy is savaging his wife's boss, and by extension, her, every other night on TV?

And he could not stop making his wife's life difficult for her... but then he demanded she "stick up for him" in making life difficult for her.

Seriously, it must be nice to have someone you care for stick up for you when you stand up to Trump https://t.co/NgJiOlQE0X
— George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 (@gtconway3d) November 16, 2025

And then, they say, she got a young boyfriend.

Now, I didn't hear this, I'm just speculating: Maybe George Conway made such a spectacle of himself about Trump not because of Trump, and not because of James Comey, but maybe because his wife had already started seeing other, more virile, more manly men, and it just burned at his cuckold heart.

Maybe his whole Trump Derangement Syndrome is an outgrowth of Cuck Derangement Symptom. Maybe the cucking caused the TDS, rather than the other way around.

I don't know. I'm not privy to the inner workings of the Conway-Fitzpatrick marriage and divorce.

Just scuttlebutt and speculation. And some observations about some very ugly public behavior from Conway.

Who would publicly embarrass his wife like that, except a man spurned?

He is a very bitter, whiny, absurd little frog of a man and it makes you wonder how such a man gets by in the world.

Probably with a lot of sadness and spite.

"But are there “multiple” Joe Biden’s being played by Actors in Masks?

That is NOT an unreasonable thing to believe.

That’s not just my opinion, that is former CIA “Chief of Disguise” telling you that Mask technology has become SO GOOD that she briefed President Bush (41) face to face (so to speak) while wearing a Mask and he couldn’t tell!

Understand that Bush Sr. was back in the 1990s.

If the CIA had human Mask technology so good in the 1990s that it could fool the President when face-to-face with him, what do you think we have now?

I’ll show you some stunning videos below, but first here is more detail from ChatGPT about CIA Former Chief of Disguise Jonna Mendez and her role in creating the most lifelike human masks in history: "

The Deposed Regime Gathers to Pretend to Honor Dick Cheney While Actually Making Petty Attacks to Advance Their Dying Political Careers

GRIM SPECTERS OF DEATH:
Rachel Maddow sits beside Anthony Fuckin' Fauci at the Cheney Funeral Show

Neither Trump nor Vance were invited.

The Obamas didn't come, because they are beyond pretending they're interested in anything that doesn't pay them seven figures for a quickie appearance.

The Clintons were too busy dodging subpoeans to make an appearance.

But George W. Bush, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, her Punchy Cuck of a husband, Anthony Fauci and Rachel Maddow all made the scene.

Pretending to eulogize her father and speak of the legacy he leaves for posterity, Liz Cheney hijacks the funeral to turn into another McCain funeral, focused on petty attacks against transitory political figures.

Reuters

Addressing mourners who had gathered in Washington, DC, Liz Cheney said her father, the former US Vice President Dick Cheney, always prioritized defending the Constitution over party loyalty

That has nothing to do with Dick Cheney. He is not known for "defending the Constitution over party loyalty." He is known -- to put it in a positive way -- for defending America no matter what the costs or which applecarts were overturned.

But "defending the Constitution over party loyalty" was empahtically not Dick Cheney's fight. McCain could claim that for fighting "torture," but Cheney was all about torture.

"Putting the Constitution over party loyalty" was Liz Cheney's fight (or, at least, that's how she would tell the tale).

So she's not eulogizing her father, she's just elevating herself. She's standing on her father's corpse to give some height to her toad-like frame.

Typical, and what we've come to expect from Regime funeral shows.

Her big praise of her father was about him backing her quixotic cause.

In recent years, Dick Cheney, who also served as secretary of Defense and represented Wyoming in Congress, publicly backed his daughter as she fought to push back on false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, eventually losing her seat in Congress after turning against President Trump.
"Though he was inspired to service by President Kennedy, Dick Cheney became a Republican," Liz Cheney said. "But he knew that bonds of party must always yield to the single bond we share as Americans."
"For him, a choice between defense of the Constitution and defense of your political party was no choice at all," she added.

So let's ignore all the things Dick Cheney actually did when he was in office to focus on what really matters, him saying "You go girl" to his daughter as a retired and weary old man, sitting on the sidelines, weakly shaking the pom-poms.

I thought at least she would try to hide that she was talking entirely about herself by talking about Cheney, I don't know, standing up to Nixon during impeachment (if he did that, I dunno). Then she could say "he stood up for the Constitution over party loyalty" and while you would suspect she was talking about herself again, you couldn't be sure. She would have plausible deniability.

But no, she doesn't bother dressing it up, she goes just goes straight for the naked self-praise: "What made my father great was him recognizing how righteous and brave I was in my prune-faced heterosexual lesbian act."

I don't know, is this how the Regime does funerals? When I've spoken at funerals I've tended to focus on the actual deceased person. I didn't say, "You know what grandma loved? My 'Johnny Coldcuts' character. That and the Money for Anal Wonkette Skankathon. She quilted me a blanket with 'pooter' written on it."

Dick Cheney�s funeral today in DC is essentially a holiday party for Treasonists

Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, Kamala Harris, George Bush, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Adam Schiff, etc. etc.

Maddow's career as a commentator began during Bush/Cheney, when she'd frequently compare Cheney to the worst monsters in history (I was on her programs when she said it).

For so many liberals, Cheney is now rehabilitated despite regretting nothing: solely for opposing Trump: https://t.co/5ZMOg7HKHD

18 IMHO the Cheneys are/were rank elitists. People who believe everyone in the "lower classes" is there to serve their interests, period.

They think that's actual patriotism, to force working people to fight in *their* wars for *their* portfolios, although they've also convinced themselves it's for America, not cash.

One of the biggest problems with elitism is that while it's absolutely enshrined in the Demoncrat party, it's also widely embraced by the Repubs.

In recent years, Dick Cheney, who also served as secretary of Defense and represented Wyoming in Congress, publicly backed his daughter as she fought to push back on false claims that the 2020 election was stolen, eventually losing her seat in Congress after turning against President Trump.

--------

False cause and effect implied. "Pushing back on false claims" is not why she was voted out. The voters in Wyoming discovered who and what she really was. You don't get a 65/35 loss from pushing back, you get it from openly going over to the other side.

131 So the clown judge who ordered the release, on pinky-swear bond, of some 600 illegals arrested in Chicago just had his order stayed.

If you don't recall, this was where the clown judge sided with the ACLU and their claims that the only reason to arrest people who are in this country illegally is because of racism.

It should also be noted that the clown judge crafted that remedy, the mass release, out of whole cloth. That is, it's not a remedy permitted under statute or caselaw.

Pence did what he felt he had to do on J6 so - whatever. I don't care about that. Honestly I agreed with him.
What Pence didn't have to do since then, but has done, was backbite Trump at every opportunity, and claim that the basic secretarial job he did was like raising the US flag on Iwo Jima. No, Mike; you're not that important.
There's also Pence's constant appeal to Christianity which he only does to shame Trump and his voters, not to support Christians or basic Noachide ideals like with the LGBT. Where was Pence 2021-24 when Christians needed him?

After the anthrax attacks Bush gave Cheney the responsibility of reorganizing both the offensive and defensive groups working on bio-weapons to streamline the groups. He decided to combine the two and put them under the control of one person. That person was Anthony Fauci.

There's a reason Fauci was the highest paid civil servant in the government pulling down a salary even bigger than the President. That's why Fauci has been so protected.

I mean, I'll give the guy credit for having the Guinness World Record for heart transplants- 653, all stolen from the chests of Bolivian orphans while still beating.

372 Half of these people despise the other half, and almost all of them despised Cheney.

What is telling is not that they showed up, but that his daughter invited people who defamed and lied about her father for his entire life. And never apologized for it.

People who treated my father like shit when he was alive were expressly not invited to his funeral when he died. It would be obscene.

It's all about her. Having these people show up elevates HER.

377 has notified the Colombian Air Force that they will temporarily be unable to perform or supply technical support to the helicopter used by Colombian President Gustavo Petro due to his recent inclusion on the Clinton List by the US Treasury. The company stated in a letter to the Colombian Airforce that this does not mean that their compliance with US Law will change their agreement to provide technical support to the Colombian Air force fleet

in response, President Petro has stated that the Colombian state was not sanctioned, and said that he was thinking of selling his helicopter since he didn't really need it. Petero also declared that the Italian company has offended the Country of Colombia in its decision and calls upon the Italian state to investigate this action, if they confuse me with the state then all the Italian companies contracted with Colombia should withdraw

The first US War where battle deaths formed the majority of deaths was Korea IIRC.

Regiments in the ACW would start out with 1000 men and have something near 600 or fewer just from measles and fevers in basic training equivalents (not all dead though). Your veteran unit would run 300-400 men. If it got shot up in a large battle it would be consolidated with other units to get a few hundred men in there.

Reb units got more replacements so tended to be somewhat larger, but nowhere near full strength.

Even if Pence, say, got in he would have no connections and would be a non-entity. More newcomers will be riding Trump and the new GOP than resurrecting the GOPe losers.

"Wicked always loved music, not like the rapy kind that robyn thicke does, but I would hum some notes from a song and wicked would recognize it and then reach into his or his fathers vast music collection and play it for me, and it was the same song I was humming. He had the eye of the tiger(an inside joke I will describe next) for music and if I ever insulted a song he would pray kirye for my soul but calmly reference all of the love of music that I spent the last almost 60 years loving almost as much as them. And Wicked Never raped marvin gayes corpse."

She would have had to have assistance form the morons, but she 100% would be willing to deliver it.

386 The thing about "Eye of the Tiger" my brother and I were athletes, most young boys of our generation, you know, those of us coming up on 29 any day now, were. My mother would, like most good parents, go out of her way to be there as her boys would compete and cheer them on. Baseball was one, but it's hard to be a star in baseball, being a team sport, unless you are pitcher, like my brother, who was a fucking monster pitcher, and could have been at least AAA if he didn't have his finger in a shitter door after someone thought he was someone else, and slammed his hand in the stall door.

For me it was Wrestling, and. . . .Chess. My mom would be present for most of my meets and tournies for wrestling and all of them for the chess competitions.

The joke. Mom doesn't know a fucking thing about either, she can play chess, but nothing about any of the strategy, and absolutely not a fucking thing about Wrestling in Folk or Free.

So mom would watch my matches, and act as my cornerman with the water and shit, but while the matches were going she couldn't give me advice, so she just yelled "EYE OF THE TIGER WICKED EYE OF THE TIGER" and smacking the matt like she Jimmy Hart.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 04:14 AM (j0s2W)

387 OVER AND OVER again, for, in one tournament, 34 matches, OVER and OVER again. I was pretty good, and I kept going, and mom was there being a mom, completely devoid of understanding of the sport but supporting her baby, and this is regionals, (I was 13, so easily eager, so don't go thinking I'm talking about what a stud I was, this is a long time ago, before I was almost 29) so if you make it in the top 3 you qualify for state, which was my first goal, and I was doing good, and I was thinking, and obviously so did my mom, that maybe I could take first in Regionals. Then comes my, think it was my 6th match, THAT DAY, btw, there isn't a lot of time, (it's off season freestyle so they have to pack it all in) I'm cocky, I'm clean, I've got the Eye of the Tiger, thanks to my mothers support, and this SCRAWNY shorter than me, and I was a short teenager comes in, and I'm confident as hell.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 04:27 AM (j0s2W)

388 You see me standing next to him, I'm relatively brawny, for a 13 year old and for my build next to this kid, and I was SURE I could take him, I know he was undefeated, but at this point in the tourney a lot of people were undefeated (it was a round robin so 2 losses) My best friend, who had already closed out his first place was there with mom, MOCKING me with the Eye of the Tiger shit. So I was ready. I was READY! My mom was READY! My best friend was READY!

We were all FUCKING WRONG!

This fucking kid, his first name is James, I have documents of his name because I still have the tournament info packed up somewhere, but ever since I call him, "JESUS THIS FUCKING GUY" which will be explained later.

This kid, who looked like the younger brother of the sister from Pet Semetary, was so fucking technical I didn't know where he was going. My increased power over him, bought me a few moments, but he just crawled over me like I don't know what crawls over a turd, but he made me look like a piece of shit.

The first period I survived, after he just owned my legs, and got leverage at every moment, all I could do was protect against pin and points. I made it through

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 04:33 AM (j0s2W)

389 the first period, and I was EXHAUSTED, and mom is like slapping me in the face kinda saying "eye of the tiger Wicked" not knowing just how embarassing what just happened was, and my best friend said, with a giant shit eating grin on his face said, "Yeah dude, listen to mom, eye of the tiger." Jerry (my best friend) was quietly laughing, not letting my mom know exactly how fucked I was.

I decided, "okay, I'm just gonna Muscle him, maybe tire him out and get him to gas" A good Idea, if I was better technically, but this fucking kid was the equivalent of Isaac Newton in his technicality. He didn't get a single point by putting me in the air, that's a fast way to create dominance, NOPE, 100% he just had his arms and legs everywhere, hooking me up so all of my advantages were worthless. So I went in, dropped low, and did a bear hug moving for a shoulder toss (3 points) The fucking guy hooked his arms and legs on me like a toddler hugging their father with all of the love in the world, and then shifted his weight making me lose ballance, and I landed flat on my fucking back.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 04:39 AM (j0s2W)

390 All the time my mother is cheering me on "EYE OF THE TIGER (WICKED) EYE OF THE TIGER"

My best friend was completely sarcastic, "yeah Wicked, eye of the tiger, eye of the tiger." and I said, "I HATE YOU SO MUCH JERRY!" and he said, "Eye of the tiger." like an auditor.

So I lost, the stat's make it look like I put up a fight, but no, "James This Fucking Guy" just fucking OWNED me, the only reason he didn't embarass me is because he was saving himself. Meanwhile I LOOKED like I had a good showing int he match, but I was whiped the fuck out.

Tourney continues, I have a bunch of other matches All wins, pushing me to semi-finals, and I was FUCKING STOKED!
FUCKING STOKED. And I go to finals. Who do I face?

"James, This Fucking Guy" and this is when I built his name in my head, because this was the GREATEST achievement I had achieved ALL through my own effort until that time, and I go into finals and who was it there?

I'm stretching, getting ready and then I found out who my opponent is, because he just won his previous match and he walks to the matt and eye contact was made.

I LITERALLY turn and say, "THIS FUCKING GUY!" and my mom said, "Eye Of The Tiger, Wicked.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 04:57 AM (j0s2W)

391 Eye Of The Tiger." and my best friend pats my mom on the back as she's cheering like it imbues me with special powers and says, "Not this time mom (my friends and I all treated eachother and our parents as family) I think this is ugly."

The fucking guy just owned me again.

I lost regionals, though ranked second, because I lost to the SAME FUCKING GUY! Granted he was EXCELLENT, but it's kinda humiliating to just be bitched twice so obviously.

NOW to state.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 05:00 AM (j0s2W)

392 State is different, the competators, based on regional rankings are considered very close to you, so they are equitably as good as you at a state level. Thank god my mom wasn't there, I would have lost my shit. My best friend Jerry, he lost right off the bat, because jerry had tricks, and was strong, but not very technical, but he didn't care, he went state right. It's a point of pride. So Jerry and his mom were my ride, and they rented a room expecting me to go to quarters or whatever right because it was meant to be an event. And I did make it to the equivalent of the sweet sixteen, and it was an effort, but I felt good about having a good ranking at state, that's a big deal right?

So first round in this I lost. It was a tough match but I held up well, it went to point counting, but I lost but it was exciting on the mat, we were well paired for a good match if you understand the sport.

THEN I go on to the next match, my one shot. If I lose I'm gone from the tourney and I miss the chance to make the equivalent of quarters.

Who is my opponent?

NOPE!

NOPE!

First match

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 05:07 AM (j0s2W)

393 THIS FUCKING GUY!

My friends mom didn't watch the matches she just chatted off on the bleachers with the other parents knowing even less than my mom, but I had Jerry, who's tourney was already over and he saw THIS FUCKING GUY! in the corner.

People think, "If you think you are going to lose, you already lost." sorta shit, as though I chose to lose.

No, that's how good this fucking guy was. I was gonna do my best, and I had tightened up, but I have to maintain weight so there are limits, but doesn't matter how strong you are, this guy was a fucking finite mathemetician, I was a guy who can do multiplication in my head, this kid fucking knew EVERY FUCKING ANGLE to hit the joints within the rules. He couldn't put me over his shoulder, unfortunately because THAT shit I could counter, but he just kept dropping me to the ground and crawling all over me like a nest of fire ants. and this was BEFORE state.

As we see that it's him, my best friend, who at the time supported me 100% would get into fights so that I never took drugs (failed) wouldn't let me drop out of school because I was the smart one (failed) This guy was ALWAYS on my side, He LITERALLY, side story, There

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 05:21 AM (j0s2W)

394 was someone who insulted me so much that I was about to just sucker punch the guy, not because I wanted to sucker punch but because that's what was available at the time. I said the dudes name, and came in ready to hit him as he faced me so NOT technically a sucker punch, but it never landed, because Jerry jumped in, and FUCKING JACKED ME and put me to the ground so that I didn't commit assault. We are from a bad neighborhood, we know the rules, but after my best friend just took me out of the fight I was about to start, the other guy talked shit. shoved Jerry, and tried to get at me while I was on the ground that Jerry put me on. Jerry then turned on him and said, "I didn't do that for you, I did that for him." and then proceeded to beat the living shit out of that guy. His name was Herchell, who later became a "friend" of ours.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 05:25 AM (j0s2W)

395 So, "THIS FUCKING GUY" Was there and Jerry said, "Just don't get pointed out till last period." Which means that it's embarassing to be pointed out until the end of the match, if you get pointed out it's embarassing, an strong pin is fine, but pointing out early is a failure..

I said, "This fucking guy, " and Jerry said, "yeah, uh, you're not in a good place." and I said, "Thank god mom's not here." he said, and it was just a PERFECT punchline, "Yeah, that tiger is fucking blind, I would hate to tell her."

That's my story.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 05:28 AM (j0s2W)

396 Now the Chess Story.

I was in Chess Club when I was. . I think 15, because I didn't have my license yet, and a few of my other friends, and oddly, sorta kinda one of the best competitors of mine within my school was a guy named Eddie, I won't give more information other than the fact that he ended up being a gang member and a criminal not because that was his nature, but because that is the nature of our area. I was a collegiate, he should have been, but he went gangster, and served time rather than being a . . . I don't know what he would have been, but he had options (more than me to tell the truth) but pissed it all away as many young men did in NWI in the late 80's and early to mid 90's. Everyone who went bad in the late 90's and since should have seen it coming, but Eddy, he was a smart guy, he just got seduced.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 05:59 AM (j0s2W)

397 For me to be so flippant about him being a ganster while still praising eddie I will say the same thing I say to everyone who asks me what it's like in Chicago, as I live in Australia.

Chicago is a tough town, you can take every bad neighborhood in all of Australia, put it in one place and it won't be as Tough or Bad as Gary, let alone South Chicago. That's where I grew up, and then I say, "The friends I Keep from back then are of 3 types. Military, College Kids, or Criminals, and there is a lot of overlap."

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 06:02 AM (j0s2W)

398 So Eddie and I were on the chess team together, not really significant because he never competed, just wanted to add that tidbit of information. I would compete, and FUCK Chess tournaments were fucking BORING, they lasted FOREVER, and the people who took it DEEPLY serious anylising (fuck the spelling) the strategic approaches with specific names, and referencing paragraphs of different guides was just EXHAUSTING. In fact, at one of my first tournaments I deliberately offered an open to an opponent, because I kinda wanted to the match to end but at the same time, she was kinda hot, so if she beat me that would be an excuse for me to hit on her.

Posted by: wickedpinto at November 21, 2025 06:06 AM (j0s2W)

399 But yeah, fast forward, yeah, I was pretty decent and I got a state nod for a chess competition (not nearly as many chess players as wrestling) at state level, and at state my mom was present, because I needed a ride, and there aren't that many hoosier kids eager to be the next bobby fisher, I sure as shit didn't want to be like that fucking lunatic, but I wanted to train my mind, so I needed a ride, and a little support, I admit. There was only one other competitor, his name is Sam, a GREAT fucking guy, but his family was poor, so my mom was our right.

As I'm playing my last round, I had it won, but I never show emotion, that's why people hate me, I hear a clap. and I look over, and it's my mom. She clapped her hand, and mouthed to me, "Eye Of The Tiger Son."

100% True. I was the only witness to the chess tournament, but It was my mom's thing.

Somalis in Minnesota are Defrauding the Government By Claming Autism, and Then Sending American Tax Dollars to the Somali Terror Group Al-Shabaab

The biggest funder of the Al-Shabbab terror organization is the American taxpayer.

Are we still pretending that these are Americans, transformed into tricorn-wearing patriots simply by touching magical American soil?

These are foreign terrorist invaders, and criminals, and conquerors.

It is time to send them back.

And of course the Somalis' partner in funding terrorism with US taxpayer dollars is Tim Walz.

"The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer"

How some of the state's welfare funds ended up in the hands of a terror group
Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch.
And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.
In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota's sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: "The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer."

Our investigation shows what happens when a tribal mindset meets a bleeding-heart bureaucracy, when imported clan loyalties collide with a political class too timid to offend, and when accusations of racism are cynically deployed to shield criminal behavior. The predictable result is graft, with taxpayers left to foot the bill.
If you were to design a welfare program to facilitate fraud, it would probably look a lot like Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program. The HSS program, the first of its kind in the country, was launched with a noble goal: to help seniors, addicts, the disabled, and the mentally ill secure housing. It was designed with "low barriers to entry" and "minimal requirements for reimbursement."
Nonetheless, before the program went live in 2020, officials pegged its annual estimated price tag at $2.6 million.
Costs quickly spiraled out of control. In 2021, the program paid out more than $21 million in claims. In the following years, annual costs shot up to $42 million, then $74 million, then $104 million. During the first six months of 2025, payouts totaled $61 million.
On August 1, Minnesota's Department of Human Services moved to scrap the HSS program, noting that payment to 77 housing-stabilization providers had been terminated this year due to "credible allegations of fraud." Joe Thompson, then the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, went even further, stating that the "vast majority" of the HSS program was fraudulent.
On September 18, Thompson announced criminal indictments for HSS fraud against Moktar Hassan Aden, Mustafa Dayib Ali, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, Christopher Adesoji Falade, Emmanuel Oluwademilade Falade, Asad Ahmed Adow, and Anwar Ahmed Adow--six of whom, according a U.S. Attorney's Office spokesperson, are members of Minnesota's Somali community. Thompson made clear that this is just the first round of charges for HSS fraud that his office will be prosecuting.
"Most of these cases, unlike a lot of Medicare fraud and Medicaid fraud cases nationally, aren't just overbilling," Thompson said at a press conference announcing the indictments. "These are often just purely fictitious companies solely created to defraud the system, and that's unique in the extent to which we have that here in Minnesota."

...
"What we see are schemes stacked upon schemes, draining resources meant for those in need. It feels never ending," Thompson said. "I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away."
On September 18, the same day that the HSS fraud charges were announced, the U.S. Attorney's Office reported that a man named Abdullahe Nur Jesow had become the 56th defendant to plead guilty in the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
...
In 2019, Feeding Our Future received $3.4 million in federal funding disbursed by the state. In the months after the Covid-19 pandemic began, however, the nonprofit rapidly increased its number of sponsored sites. Using fake meal counts, doctored attendance records, and fabricated invoices, the perpetrators of the fraud ring claimed to be serving thousands of meals a day, seven days a week, to underprivileged children. In 2021, Feeding Our Future received nearly $200 million in funding.
In reality, the money was being used to fund lavish lifestyles, purchase luxury vehicles, and buy real estate in the United States, Turkey, and Kenya. In 2020, Minnesota officials raised concerns about the nonprofit's rapid expansion. In response, the group filed a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination related to outstanding site applications, noting that Feeding Our Future "caters to . . . foreign nationals."
...
The fraudsters have leveraged their growing political influence to cultivate close ties with Minnesota's elected officials. Several individuals involved in the Feeding Our Future scheme donated to, or appeared publicly with, Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born congresswoman from Minneapolis. Omar's deputy district director, Ali Isse, advocated on behalf of Feeding Our Future. Omar Fateh, a former state senator who recently ran for Minneapolis mayor, lobbied Governor Tim Walz in support of the program. And one of the accused, Abdi Nur Salah, served as a senior aide to Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.
Just days later, on September 24, U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson announced his office's first indictment in yet another fraud case. This time, the scheme involved federally funded autism services for children.
...
Hassan and her co-conspirators "approached parents in the Somali community" and recruited their children into autism therapy services. It didn't matter, prosecutors suggested, if a child did not have an autism diagnosis: Hassan would facilitate a fraudulent one.

When gnarled raiders clamber over America's gunwhales, the idiots of the communist left cry "They're here to help us row the ship!"

No. They are pirates. They are here to kill, despoil, and plunder.

121 I have a theory that when there are programs like this that end up being mostly a conduit for fraud, the first people to arrest are the bill's original sponsors because they, with almost 100% certainty, are connected to those who are engaged in the fraud and have merely used their office to facilitate the theft.

All of the Demonic Party and Most of the GOP are partners in RICO actions. We would just rather believe their outrageous lies than actually go after them with real consequences.

why? because in Mogadisu, the warlords commands were not in Somali, but Arabic...

Clinton Knew. and when the survivor families were invited to the WhiteHouse, he stated to them it was their "own fault" that they were dead.

They also tended to occur in intense grain farming areas where the ratio of slaves to people was high -Sicily and Sardinia. One I think was tripped off by a law freeing Greek slaves that the Sicily province decided not to do.

Somalia does.

With the direct foreign aid help of over $2B a year, plus, apparently tens if not hundreds of millions in remittances from fraud and other sources.

While no official records, Somali piracy costs the global economy about $7B annually, with hundreds of millions stemming from ransom payments (at least $400M documentd).

Then there is the vibrant khat trade, the usual human trafficking that generate an addition hundreds of million in GDP annually.

Fearing that everybody else who is on your side are some kind of mental midgets is no way to make an argument for "democracy" let alone even a republic.

Lindsayites--among others--don't even see how crippling that the idea is that they had to flee their near ~50% of the population because they're being idiots, and come over here and fear that the ~50% not being the same kind of idiots are nonetheless falling for idiocy is as an argument for LIBERALISM.

See, that's a GOOD argument. If you're going to fear that > 75% of people are, by their passions, just going to be swept away and that they won't heed rational arguments, you've just made the case AGAINST representative government.

------

I'm not speaking from "fear of losing the argument". Instead I'm pointing out that the left is DESPERATELY wishing to ATTACH Fuentes to "Trump", "conservatives", and the "right wing" when he's NONE of those things. Fuentes has gone on record that he intends to *confront* Vance and Rubio during the 2028 primaries. He is NOT "one of us", and the people from "our" side need to stand up and make that clear.

Once Carlson lobbed softball question after softball question to that assclown, it was clear to me that he is bought and paid for, and not on our side of the game.

Posted by: Crusader at November 20, 2025 05:29 PM (TN0g+)

281 but its absolute garbage for those who support Fuentes to pretend that what "conservative politics" or the "right wing" was really missing from an appealing campaign was a good old fashioned injection of praise for Hitler and accusations against "World Jewry".

Congratulations. That's a good argument against a republic, in general.

Is Trump just a better demagogue?

Boy, the Dems would sure love to hear you say that.

"Reality" has its reflection in pragmatic approaches. Trump ran on pragmatics, and was generally seen as better for the pragmatics in people's own lives.

The Dems already have the ground that everything is just a arbitrary war of words, so why shouldn't they just do everything to ensure that their side wins. And while that approach has been effective for many years, it's also slowly being realized by more and more people.

And why didn't that feed back into your loop? Or are you enjoying your Alinsky moment of "ridiculing" your chosen enemies?

I used to say this more subtly, but now want to stress it: Lindsay's own "Woke Right" campaign, in his *own* words, has as one of its main (Alinskyan) advantages that "They don't like it." Even his co-laborers in WR don't seem to get too far before indicating that people called "Woke Right" don't like it.

Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury and Democrat Party Wise-Man Larry Summers Is Booted from Harvard's Classrooms as the Leftwing School Examines His Relationsip with Pedophile Financier and "Wing Man" Jeffrey Epstein

And when I say he was a wing man of Jeffrey Epstein, I do in fact mean the Jeffrey Epstein, not a Jeffrey Epstein.

Larry Summers, the former Harvard University president who served as treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton, is stepping back from teaching and resigning from the board of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, as Harvard looks into his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Harvard is reviewing information of people associated with the university -- including Summers, its president from 2001 to 2006 -- that were featured in the Epstein documents to "evaluate what actions may be warranted," spokesperson Jason Newton said on Wednesday. Congress released documents last week showing the men remained in close contact after Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution in 2008.
Summers's spokesperson also said on Wednesday that his co-teachers will complete the remaining three class sessions of the courses he has been teaching this semester. "Summers is not scheduled to teach next semester," the spokesperson added. He will keep his tenure.
Summers said in a statement on the same day that he has resigned from the board of OpenAI -- one day after he announced that he would step back from his public commitments.
...
On Nov. 12, the House Oversight Committee released a trove of documents that included emails illuminating Epstein's ties to a network of world leaders, business tycoons and American politicians from both parties -- connections that continued long after Epstein pleaded guilty to charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor in 2008.
...
After the files were released, a series of boards and think tanks severed their relationships with Summers, including the Yale Budget Lab, the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution, the Center for Global Development and the Center for American Progress.
CAP, a left-leaning think tank, said in a statement that it had paused the launch of a working group focused on economic proposals, which Summers was supposed to help lead. For decades, Summers has been a key player on economic policy in Washington.

The Democrat Party protects its own:

Tosca Austen
@ToscaAusten
💀EPSTEIN'S Ghost Claws Out
Of A Long-Sealed Vault.
LARRY SUMMERS --former U.S. Treasury Secretary For Bill Clinton falls first, steps down from the Board of Open AI.
Let's talk about privilege.
Imagine being so powerful that even after texting Jeffrey Epstein--the day before his arrest, bragging about canoodling with the daughter of a top CCP banker--and getting caught red-handed in the Epstein Estate files...
And after all that, you STILL get to keep your Harvard office.
You STILL get to shape the next Democratic administration.
You STILL get to walk FREE. That's Larry Summers in 2025. Insulated from the inside.
And Nobody is canceling him Yet.
For 30 years Summer WAS the Democratic Party's brain:
-->Clinton's Treasury Secretary who deregulated Wall Street and opened the door for China's WTO entry.
-->Obama's economic czar who ran the recovery
-->Biden's inflation prophet and quiet advisor
-->The guy Socialists love to hate but centrists can't live without
Life was good for Larry Summers.
Until the House dropped the Epstein emails this week and the mask slipped off completely.
Hundreds of messages:
-->Summers whining to Epstein that his 20-something "mentee" Keyu Jin (daughter of Jin Liqun, the godfather of China's Belt & Road) won't sleep with him unless he keeps mentoring her
-->She can't have it without sex" -- direct quote to Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker
-->Epstein replying "she's doomed to be with you" like it's locker-room banter
-->Summers texting Epstein literally 24 hours BEFORE the 2019 raid
-->Summers wife Elisa hitting Epstein up for poetry-project cash and inviting him to dinner
All while Summers, as HARVARD president, took Epstein's millions and let him roam campus like a VIP.👀
And the CCP angle? Keyu Jin's dad isn't just some banker -- he's the founding head of the AIIB, Xi's answer to the World Bank.
Beneath our noses, Summers was chasing the princess while selling America on "strategic interdependence" with Beijing.
He's been radioactive for days and the silence from the big Dem accounts is deafening.
Why is that?
Because Larry Summers is the living bridge between Wall Street, the CCP, and the Jeffrey Epstein blackmail network -- and for decades that made him untouchable instead of unemployable.

This guy literally heaped praise on a Red Chinese official charged with expanding the Red China Empire's tentacles across the world in order to induce his daughter to fuck him.

Even without him asking his "wing man" Jeffrey Epstein for advice on how to seduce a much-younger woman, this is a firing offense. And I mean "firing from all positions of public and especially governmental trust."

🚨WOW!! Larry Summers opened his class today by addressing the shame he feels because of what he did with Epstein

Previously: Larry Summers had warned of the great threat that Donald Trump posed to the nation.

Definitely no worries that Trump would expose his ties to Epstein. No, none of that. Just concern for the nation.

In 2016, Larry Summers called Trump the �gravest threat� to America in his adult lifetime.

Fast forward to today, and he�s apologizing to his class for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

29 So... this is strange. He wanted to bang the Chinese gal. OK, easy enough. The request of epstein seems more like asking a buddy if he has any ideas on how to bang such and such gal that you both know. Did epstein already bang her? Ewww.

I guess what I am saying is that that hints at a more intimate relationship between the two dudes.

Because this is the beginning of an avalanche of Democrat names being tied to the island, too-young girls and unbelievable levels of corruption at all levels just to keep things going.

Now that more information is coming out exonerating Trump RE Epstein, I've already seen leftists coping by screaming that not all of the fully unredacted Epstein files have been released yet. I predict they will cling to that fig leaf until the end of time.

Maybe they're partially correct, and Biden (and early term Trump) couldn't release the files becauze they were part of ongoing litigation. But, if they have damaging stuff for Dems inside, and will eventually be released, you whine and howl that Republicans aren't releasing if because it implicated them. Then, when it is released, and isn't as damning to Republicans, you can alleged the files were tampered with or all the redacted parts implicate Republicans. Discredit the whole thing to protect yourself and implicate Trump.

I think it is a DSA (Democratic Socialist Alliance) move to purge the older Obamites, Bidenites, and Clintonites from the party. They were the ones getting down and dirty with Epstein along with their tech/finance donors. The remaining Dems in House and Senate are too compromised and scared of primary challenges if they refused to vote for it.

The left will not change until they suffer the consequences of their actions, which will never happen, because there is an entire national organization who's very purpose and every effort is focused on protecting the left from us and them reaching the FO stage: The GOP.

I am pretty sure they count on their side being dumb as a bag of hammers and willing to believe whatever far fetched narrative given. Like Trump and Epstein being best friends despite emails clearly showing that is not the case at all, or that Trump turned him into police being a clue that maybe there is no there, there. Honestly they hate Trump with the heat of a thousand suns, yet cannot articulate anything factual to back it up. The banking on them being lemmings is a pretty solid bet.

No Democrat gives a shit about Summer's bumping uglies with some young thing anymore than they cared about Bubba doing it. But when that young thing happens to be the daughter of a CCP big whig that's a different story.

The focus on Epstein has always focused on his sex crimes but I think there is a much darker story about international dealings. How the hell did Epstein know CCP insiders? Is this a link to why so many of our politicians and business leaders have been in bed with China for years?

128 Nothing will make some on AoS more happy than seeing Pam Bondi run out of the country. No matter what her DoJ does.
Posted by: Cow Demon
=====
A lot of that chatter was based on Bondi's binders when it first came out, then the goalposts shifted to why are all the Dems in jail yet, flipped back to Epstein, etc. Most of it is driven by Dem psyops in creating wedges in MAGA and that is being aided by those on the right as they are being manipulated.

Doing cases takes time and rushed cases without full time DAs in place which Chuck Grassley's idiotic acceptance of allowing Dems to refuse to return blue slips on blue state Trump nominees for District Attorney and District Court judges is why.

Virtually all of Trump's nominees for blue state DA jobs are being ignored by the Senate Judiciary and thus Trump and Bondi are having to rely on 'acting' nominees with all those problems that it brings.

GOPe, particularly the Chamber of Commerce and China corrupted senators, are doing as little as they can on key judicial and DoJ nominees--probably to protect their own vulnerable asses for peddling them to K Street lobbying interests.

And realizing he has probably done this to more students? And then slept with you? She most likely was not given a choice as to whether she wanted to sleep with him after he cheated on her. That is also dirty, wrong and painful.

182 The focus on Epstein has always focused on his sex crimes but I think there is a much darker story about international dealings. How the hell did Epstein know CCP insiders? Is this a link to why so many of our politicians and business leaders have been in bed with China for years?

Posted by: JackStraw at November 20, 2025 03:42 PM (viF8m)

No doubt in my mind that Epstein was run as an asset by likely multiple intelligence agencies (CIA, MI6, Mossad, the CCP, et. al.) -- which is why he was protected and didn't kill himself in prison.

It was seen in Texas at an event but is spreading through the SE now including Tennessee and probably Georgia. It has something around a 30% mortality.

Events are starting to be canceled like races, rodeos, english/western competitions. People are basically not transporting their horses places now. At least there are not many events this part of the year. And everyone's taking a wait and see approach to next year.

Blue slips are NOT a senate rule but a Senate Judiciary custom that has been altered over the years. Grassley requires the two blue slips from home state senators to allow votes for district judges and district attorneys. In the 80's, it only required a signoff by the state's senior House ranking member if no GOP senators for example, it has also been altered at times for only one slip by Democrats etc. etc. Whole bullshit policy came about due to segregation era Senate and Senators and the rule needs to be junked.

---------------

They have to eliminate the archaic -- and fully inconsistent with the US Constitution -- "blue slip" rule.

[Per Brave "AI:"]

"The Senate blue slip process applies to U.S. Attorney nominees, including those for federal district offices.

The Senate Judiciary Committee uses blue slips to request the opinions of home-state senators on presidential nominees for U.S. Attorney positions, and a nominee may be blocked if a home-state senator does not return a positive blue slip.

This practice grants home-state senators significant influence, effectively giving them veto power over nominations for federal prosecutors in their states.
The blue slip process remains in place for district court nominees and U.S. Attorney nominees, though it was eliminated for appellate court nominees in 2018."[/i[

Bullshit. It shows your lack of understanding. Simply put, most of teh DoJ are civil servants and you can RIF some of those (which has happened in key areas like Harmeet cleaning house in the Civil Rights Division) but others carry out jobs that have statutory requirements for those particular offices. Same with dealing with the DoJ underlings in the states, you gotta have the district DA in place--District DAs precede the whole DoJ in existence and as a result, much of the old criminal laws and statues due to vicinage require charges to be instigated in the state and district where it occurred. No full time permanent appointee DA, no cleaning house easily.

If by reform it you mean gut it and replace the corrupt prosecutors with good ones, yes, that's what is being done. Follow Harmet Dhillon's account on X for an example of just one department at the DOJ that is turning over almost the entire staff while the plane is flying.

The US Attorney along with a number of prosecutors in the EDVA were forced out because they refused to indict Comey and James. New people have to be found and brought onboard. This is happening everywhere.

Just yesterday Lindsey Halligan was getting hacked here for screwing up the Comey indictment because a corrupt Biden magistrate said so. Turned out he was, shockingly, lying. There was nothing wrong with what she did at all. But Bondi got hacked for that too.

267 2005 Remarks on Women in Science: During his time as Harvard's president, Summers faced substantial criticism, including a no-confidence vote by the faculty, after suggesting that innate differences might explain the underrepresentation of women in science and engineering fields. This led to organized student rallies and protests outside of his classes and office, with groups like the "Coalition for an Anti-Sexist Harvard" demanding his resignation. However, these were general protests, not walkouts from within his classes.

Trump's truly formative early years were spent in NYC real estate, a shark tank environment if ever there was. Those who thrive in that environment may not know chess but they sure as hell know how to play people and situations, manipulate events to advantage.

My take? Trump wanted the Dems to go all-in on the Epstein scandal, so he played it cagey, which encouraged them further to the point they believed he was somehow implicated. Cue the sudden change of heart and release of the files. Hilarity ensues.

The young commies on the Dem side are not implicated in Epstein, too young. And the remaining Democrats are petrified of them and primary challenges because that is where the energy is on the Democrat side.

That's easy.
1) Dems thought the files couldn't actually be opened. There are legal reason why this stuff was protected and never released to the public. Actual laws preventing it.
2) Trump promised to publish the names. he couldn't, not legally.
3) So MAGA got pissed at him, and they thought DEMs could take advantage with highly selective leaking.
4) Trump, older and wiser, figured out the game and reversed course, asking congress to vote to release all of it.
5) Dems then be fucked. They just assumed Trump would never agree, nor would the Rs.
6) There are two factions in the D party the normal Ds and the Dem Socialist Ds. Dem Socialist Ds want to destroy normal Ds. And guess who is mostly implicated in the Epstein files? The old school normal Ds. Larry Summers is a corrupt hack, but he's old school D.

My lefty social media friend was TOTALLY focused on taking out Trump via the files. The day the files were opened, he told his followers not to give up hope - there was talk of an email concerning Epstein with Trump on Thanksgiving 2017. Then yesterday he wrote that he had discussed the matter with a friend who was very politically connected. The latter broke the news that the Epstein files were not going to take Trump out, and that the dems would have to depend on some "outside force" - think COVID, war, etc. to do it.

Then the guy posting suggested that since Megyn Kelley was "redefining" pedophilia (correctly) as attraction to the pre-pubescent (he called it "girls under

Jasmine Ratchet Demonstrates Again Why Her Nickname Isn't "Jasmine Sentient"

Defending her fellow Strong Black Woman Who Takes Orders from White Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein -- Stacey Plaskett, I mean -- Jasmine Ratchet took the difficult action of standing on the floor of the House (difficult for the floor of the House, I mean) and declared that many Republicans had taken money from "a Jeffrey Epstein," including Mitt Romney, George Bush, and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

Crockett: Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly, Mitt Romney. The NRCC. Lee Zeldin. George Bush. McCain-Palin. pic.twitter.com/CdwuSacQpb
— Acyn (@Acyn) November 18, 2025

They did take money from "a Jeffrey Epstein." A Doctor Jeffrey Epstein, a physician, a man entirely unrelated to the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that Jasmine Ratchet's corrupt bestie Stacey Plaskett took money from.

If you can believe this, and at this point boy I sure hope you can believe this, this fat narcissist Weeble went on CNN to claim vindication, declaring that she specifically said "a Jeffrey Epstein" not "the Jeffrey Epstein" and she considers that to be proper disclosure for speaking out of her voluminous ass.

She actually thinks this is all cute, because she thinks everything she does is cute. Remember, her cell-phone's lock screen is a picture of her own fat face.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett responds to Lee Zeldin saying he never took donations from that Jeffrey Epstein � but instead a physician who is also named Jeffrey Epstein � following her comments on the floor. pic.twitter.com/ReN4IbTW6K
— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 20, 2025

Her back-up excuse is that she didn't have time to do her homework so she just defamed people without bothering to vet her claims.

Remember, when Texans reject her announced bid to be Texas Senator, it must be Because Racism, and there are no other possible reasons.

Pardon me for hitting the "she's so fat" button so many times. But I'm thinking about this recent clip in which she attacks the appearance of MAGA women, while showing off how in shape she is.

And when I say she's in-shape, I mean she's in the shape of a perfect sphere.

NEW: Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett makes fun of how MAGA women look while standing next to a 6-foot-5 dude wearing a dress.

66 Jasmine looks like she put on 75 pounds. She was once reasonably fit not that long ago.

This explains a lot. She is a caricature of an angry, bitter, entitled, obese black woman who can't understand why men don't pay her more attention. So she has to invent "Summer Camp Stud" stories of all these secret mysterious MAGA men coming up to her in airports saying how much they love her.

It's like all those Muslim women who claimed that rando MAGA men were tearing off their hijabs -- men that these rancid bitches described as studly romance-novel Chads.

I called him a "human lawnchair" before Trump picked him for VP. The only reason I gave him a moment since he collapsed on religious freedom--in fucking INDIANNA--is that Trump picked him.

129 Concerns from noted ‘Concern Troll’ Kurt Schlichter:

“Welcome to the doldrums, the period of problems, the phase of foul-ups, the time of the sucking. And it does suck. Everything seems to be going wrong for Republicans right now. ... Yeah, it's bad. ... The affordability crisis is unlikely to persist all the way to the next elections. [thus acknowledging the existence of an affordability crisis] ... The economy could stubbornly refuse to get better. We could be wiped out in next year's elections, and there's a lot of evidence that this would happen if the elections were held today.”

This is mostly to rile up their population. China claims internally that all their wars are defensive, and that all bad things are because evil round eyes stole from them (land, technology, ...) or attacked...

Bitch magazine described Karen as a term that originated with black women but was co-opted by white men. In an article on high-profile incidents in the U.S. of white women calling the police on black people, The Guardian called 2020 "the year of Karen".

237 The mean and median weight for women in the US are 172 lbs and 155 lbs. The corresponding values for men are 199 and 189. I think that means the heavier 50% are much further above median weight than the lighter 50% are below the median. Especially the women. The thing about the average, though, is that a comparatively small number of extremely fat people can have an outsized effect.

284 Koshihikari in a zojirushi cooker.

Seriously, cost is up to 4,000 yen for 5 kilo.

In 2023 it was 18,000 when on sale, but around 2,000 regular.
But then one day the supermarket had some non-normal brand (but still koshihikari, from Niigata (the rice prefecture) and the coop (most growers sell to the coop) for only 12,000 yen.

So it looks like they sold off all excess to prep for a big price increase due to "shortage." Very strange. Rice keeps for long time so why the sell off? It sure seems like an op to me.

It certainly can, its just a matter of how badly states like California are going to skew matters with their insane taxes and minimum wage increases. Make no mistake there is a lot of legislation and regulation being done by Democrats in office deliberately to destroy the economy.

345 American troops have stormed a Mexican beach setting off a diplomatic firestorm amid soaring tensions after Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country.

US 'contractors' arrived by boat on Monday to 'Playa Bagdad', driving signs into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

Alarmed witnesses quickly alerted officials and heavily-armed Mexican security personnel rushed to the scene on trucks mounted with machine guns in a terrifying standoff.

The Mexican troops watched as the Americans drove six signs into the ground which said: 'Warning: restricted area.'

Written in English and Spanish, they claimed that the beach was the property of the Department of Defense and had been declared restricted by 'the commander.'

They also said unauthorized access or photography was not allowed in that area and that 'if you are found here, you may be detained and searched.'

Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry said that their country's navy took the signs out of the sand – which they believe was on Mexican territory.

The Pentagon, in a deeply embarrassing statement, admitted that its troops were mistaken on landing on the beach.

359 I went back to NY to visit this weekend. Besides a black bear trying to steal my box of donuts, the thing I noticed most was the sheer number of illegal immigrants. NY is becoming more of a magnet for these people because they don’t screen them for benefits. It’s going to get really randy when the courts finally rule the states must hand over federal recipient data for federal programs. I imagine the amount of fraud and abuse is going to break the state, who is already in dire revenue straits due to the people and businesses leaving. Grab some popcorn.

368 I am reminded of a guy I met when my work took me to a county health clinic, and a fellow in the waiting room struck up a conversation. He had quite the fast patter, going on about your name in ALL CAPS being a corporation that the State established in your name, but not really you, which I didn't quite get the point of. I just kind of smiled and nodded, not really knowing where he was going with that, until he got to the point of declaring that since Russia had invaded Georgia, and Georgia is a state, we were in a state of war with Russia.

At that point I couldn't help laughing, and gently explained that words are not magic, and two things having the same name doesn't make them the same thing, at which he just shut up and sulked and I went on with my workday. That's the mental level that Jasmine Ratchet is operating at here: the same as a county health clinic client with time to burn and apparent schizophrenia (probably unemployed). How can she not have anyone on her staff to warn her off and explain how bad this makes her look?

Democrats Urge the Military to Stage a Coup, Trump Gently Cautions Them That the Punishment for Sedition is "DEATH!"

A group of Democrats did another coordinated propaganda session, this time all repeating the seditious demand that the military resist "illegal orders" -- by which they mean policy decisions the duly-elected Commander in Chief makes, like using the National Guard to quell insurrections -- and promises that the Democrats will make sure they're all pardoned and taken care after the coup.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don�t give up the ship. pic.twitter.com/N8lW0EpQ7r
— Sen. Elissa Slotkin (@SenatorSlotkin) November 18, 2025

One of the seditious treason supporters, Jason Crow, was unable to define what an "illegal order" would be or which "illegal orders" Trump had already issued. Martha MacCallum told him he was "vague" -- just babbling, would be a more accurate descriptor -- and he continued to babble vaguely about which illegal orders he was urging a coup over.

Because there are no illegal orders. There is simply a policy disagreement between Open Borders/Antifa lunatics and the actually-elected, duly sworn Commander in Chief of the United States.

— TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) November 19, 2025

Facing this insurrection, Trump laid out the specified punishments for treason.

President Donald Trump on Thursday fumed over a video of Democratic lawmakers urging military officials to ignore "illegal" orders from the Trump administration and promising to support them in such a move.
"This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???" Trump posted on Truth Social.
"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" he added in a second post.

He's not wrong. We need a J6-style committee and J6-style surveillance dragnet to discover the people behind this plot to destabilize the Precious Norms of our Republic and we should not be shy about weaponizing the government against the conspirators. Faced with a danger this great, there is, as Democrats decided after J6, no rights that cannot be suspended or subverted in the thirst for Safety and Justice.

Meanwhile, Pencil-Necked Seditionist Miles Tayor, the "Anonymous" who fraudulently claimed to be a high-ranking national security official with access to Trump's inner-circle deliberations, and then made absurd charges based on what he'd heard as a low-level office gooner, is very excited that there's a new coup afoot.

�You can refuse illegal orders.�

A commenter pointed out yesterday that the seditious conspirators didn't specifically call out "illegal" orders for disobeying, which means that they included both illegal and legal orders in their plot of insurrection.

I routinely buy the 50% off Italian sausage from the store, which they mark down after several days in the refrigerated case. In the freezer it goes, and it goes into the next batch of spaghetti sauce. Never an issue.

Smell it. As long as it is not discolored or smells off, then probably OK. Cook well, though. Lot's of preservative go in sausage.

I routinely buy the 50% off Italian sausage from the store, which they mark down after several days in the refrigerated case. In the freezer it goes, and it goes into the next batch of spaghetti sauce. Never an issue.

7 hatch peppers. 2 poblanos. 12 tomatillos. 6 cloves of garlic. Roast these.

2+ jalapeños, depending how spicy you want it. This is mild, for my wife. Mince these along with a bundle of cilantro, mix with the juice and zest of 2-3 limes.

Two large onions, chopped. Sautée with 1 tablespoon each of cumin, coriander, paprika, chili powder, 2 tsp+ to taste of chipotle powder, 2tsp of oregano.

Blend all that stuff together in a food processor; set aside.

Chop up 4lbs of pork butt into 1 - 1 and 1/2" cubes, season with salt and pepper, and brown them in a pan. Put that into the crackpot and coat with 4 tablespoons of mash. Add four cups of chicken broth and two bay leaves, and the veggie mix. Stir occasionally on low temperature for 8 hours.

The scary part is that there are enough Democrats who glorify sexual perversion and the grooming of children that some voters will probably agree with him. Michael English, who hopes to be elected mayor of Providence next year, has referred to “immature decisions” that led to a “period of incarceration.” According to the Providence Journal, the history behind that vague comment is that, as a 26-year-old, English had a relationship with a 13-year-old.

7 hatch peppers. 2 poblanos. 12 tomatillos. 6 cloves of garlic. Roast these.

2+ jalapeños, depending how spicy you want it. This is mild, for my wife. Mince these along with a bundle of cilantro, mix with the juice and zest of 2-3 limes.

Two large onions, chopped. Sautée with 1 tablespoon each of cumin, coriander, paprika, chili powder, 2 tsp+ to taste of chipotle powder, 2tsp of oregano.

Blend all that stuff together in a food processor; set aside.

Chop up 4lbs of pork butt into 1 - 1 and 1/2" cubes, season with salt and pepper, and brown them in a pan. Put that into the crackpot and coat with 4 tablespoons of mash. Add four cups of chicken broth and two bay leaves, and the veggie mix. Stir occasionally on low temperature for 8 hours.

166 The way to cook sausages is to simmer them on medium in a fry pan win water halfway up the side for 10 minutes a side, flip, repeat for another 10, then brown on the grill or fry for a.couple more.

That way they're cooked through and still juicy. If the don't pass the smell test before cooking toss them and buy a pack of Carando or Johnsville from the grocery if there are not Italian butchers nearby.

Their next step will to challenge the legality of blowing up Venezuelan drug boats (which I believe to be their primary focus). Some hack judge without jurisdiction will call it illegal, and present it non-stop in the media. Then you'll have your military (Navy) personnel of questionable commitment (and there are always a handful of those around)...refuse to participate.

The same approach will be used on the National Guard, but I think this more about roughing up the military and Hegseth in particular.

A man with 49 prior arrests doused a woman with a flammable liquid and set her on fire on a Chicago train this week.

50-year-old Lawrence Reed was hit with federal terrorism charges after he set a 26-year-old woman on fire aboard the Blue Line on Monday evening.

Reed repeatedly shouted, “Burn b*tch!” as the victim rolled around trying to put out the fire.

Here's some of his most recent charges:

Dec. 29, 2019: Criminal damage to government property
Feb. 21, 2020: Battery
Feb. 28, 2020: Two counts of battery
April 23, 2020: Aggravated arson knowing there is a person(s) present
Dec. 4, 2021: Simple assault
Dec. 21, 2021: Battery with intent to cause bodily harm
June 1, 2022: Battery making physical contact
Jan. 20, 2024: Criminal damage to property.

235 Dannielynn Birkhead, Smith’s daughter, was born on September 7, 2006, in Nassau, Bahamas, as Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.
Initially, Smith claimed that her attorney, Howard K. Stern, was the father, but a DNA test confirmed that Larry Birkhead was Dannielynn’s biological father.
Birkhead was granted custody of his daughter after the court ruling.
Dannielynn has grown up in rural Kentucky with her father and has maintained a close relationship with him, often attending events like the Kentucky Derby together.
She is 19 years old as of September 2025 and has been described as resembling her mother, with her father frequently sharing photos highlighting their similarities.

251 White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller minces no words about the Democrats who participated in a video calling for CIA agents and members of the armed services to defy orders from their commander and chief:
“It is insurrection. Plainly, directly, without question. And when you have one of the lawmakers on that video being unable to state in, as you say, a lengthy cross-examination, a single so-called illegal order, it just proves the point. It’s a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers saying that you have not only the right but the duty and the obligation to defy orders of the commander-in-chief, that those who carry weapons in America’s name should defy their chain of command and engage in open acts of insurrection.
That the CIA, the clandestine service, which isn’t even legally authorized to operate in the United States, should engage in, again, acts of rebellion and insurrection. These lawmakers should honestly resign in disgrace and never return to public office again, for even daring to think, let alone to say these words and to say them proudly. But it shows what a dangerous moment we’re in.

252 We have seen the Democratic Party nurse the flames of violence and insurrection against the federal government for the last 10 months. When you see this continuous campaign of violence against ICE officers and Border Patrol agents, when you see Democrat sanctuary politicians and Democrat sanctuary governors side with the rioters, side with the assaulters over federal law enforcement, and that spills even into juries and grand juries, when you see Democrat jurors engage in nullification to let off violent attackers who are engaging in physical violence, physical assault against federal officers, this is a dangerous moment.

You have a political party, an organization, the Democrat Party, and their message is that any action, no matter how unlawful, no matter how dangerous, no matter how much it threatens constitutional order, is justified if it keeps Democrat policies in effect at any cost.”

376 Giving Aldi's pumpkin bread box a try - turned it into pumpkin pear muffins (threw 3 shredded pears in and reduced the water)...smells good, so hopefully it will be tasty.

I don't normally use pears with pumpkin (it's usually apple), but use what you have...and my apples are perfectly good and my pears were starting to go into the "going over" category...

An old friend of mine had it in his will that he wanted his ashes shot out of a signaling cannon off the transom of his boat (I'd actually read his will, he insisted).

We had a falling out so when he passed a couple of years ago, I didn't attend his service, so I'm not sure if his widow followed through, but knowing her, I imagine she did.

434 I don't know what they do today, but we had a training in basic, and once a year thereafter on the UCMJ, where they mentioned "illegal orders". They also.mentioned that you had damned well better be sure, because refusing any order was going to put you up for a court-martial and that if you were correct and it was illegal, you'd be acquitted, but if it wasn't - hard time. No matter what the end result, you we're going to spend time in the stockade over it.

29 This is just the tip of the iceberg. I'll bet anyone any amount of money that at least 50% of FEMA money was stolen in schemes like this over the last five years.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that 50% of all federal money was stolen over the last five years.

Love sausage and peppers. It's a staple of my late wife's Italian family.

Though the fam would no doubt consider this heresy, the frozen pepper and onion strips are pretty decent, and save a ton of prep time.

Are there any black female politicians who aren't involved in some kind of scam? I'm starting to wonder.

Its my wild-ass guess that IF we could ask God how much of our Federal tax money was actually used for what it was ear-marked to address, the answer would be less than 20 percent.

And that sounds like "fun" conversation until we examine it further and realize the countless lives that were *ruined* by wage garnishments, tax liens, bankruptcies, etc. And then the families that were split or the families that chose to stay childless or stopped at 1 or 2 kids because of the continual 15-30% DRAIN on their paychecks by having tax monies withheld that were going to fund rich politicians and their cronies rather than making life better.

235 Is this a real indictment, or a fake one like Comey's? One of the many reasons why I think this country is cooked is that half the population now legitimately questions charges by the DoJ.

Dems need to dump her. Then she can run to Fox News, claim she is a MAGA born aginner, make a big donation and get a sweet pardon, the last two of which will in no way be related.

If only she was friends with Epstein she could gotten away with it. Instead, she was born Black, so she's screwed.

The criminal governor of Florida’s wife is being accused of diverting $10 million from her non-profit in from a Medicaid settlement to a PAC that supported his Chief of staff to run a campaign against recreational marijuana. I fail to see the difference. If this person deserves 53 year then we should double up Desantis for 106.

This investigation into her started under the Biden DOJ. And the evidence is quite damning. Based on this she is one absolutely wretched person...hope there's a primary challenger immediately.

Then the second world was gone when the wall came down, so "Second World" was never used again. So First World and Third world took on new meanings, according to some YouTube person.

I've got somewhere near 3 to 400,000 miles on various airlines and have never run into the obnoxious prick on a plane that needed to be taped to a seat or escorted off.

Should it happen nowadays, I would think I would be escorted off as well, however for a completely different reason.

Straight from Googs AI, so it's probably right...right? :

Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) was often referred to as the "conscience of the Senate" by his admirers. This title was a tribute to his deep knowledge of Senate history and procedure, his reverence for the U.S. Constitution (which he famously carried in his pocket), and his frequent, passionate floor speeches that emphasized institutional integrity and the separation of powers.

355 As noted last week, the Senate included a provision in the government reopening bill to allow Republican Senators to sue the DOJ and data providers who comply with subpoenas for senator’s telephone and email records.

Nine senators who previously were targeted by Jack Smith and Arctic Frost subpoenas likely stand to make millions from lawsuits under the legislation.

In the latest round of DC pretending, the House voted 426-0 to repeal that specific law and terminate the Senate payday. Is the Senate going to take up the bill, of course not. However, the House now has another useless talking point (strong in the pearl clutching is this one) to campaign and fundraise with. Of course they will ignore why Jack Smith was breaking the law doing this in the first place.

Isn't that because adding more Ethanol to the mix ends up melting seals and o-rings in the engine? It definitely causes problems with old school lawn mowers and similar machines with small gas engines.

383 Harvard Admits That Grades Have Lost Their Meaning

According to the report, in 2005 “A’s” accounted for 24 percent of all grades given at Harvard College. In 2025, that number jumped to over 60 percent. Even the cutoff mark for summa cum laude status has been forced higher, standing at a 3.989 GPA as of this year, lest everyone achieve the honor. If everyone’s exceptional, is anyone really?

Everclear is ethanol. Pure ethanol is safe to drink, if mixed down to a palatable concentration. But much of the ethanol sold for industrial use is denatured, and therefore poisonous.

The Morning Rant: AI...Is It A Bubble?

So...is AI a financial bubble, or is it an evolution in computing, customer service, data management, and research of all kinds?

Yes.

40% of the S&P500 market cap is directly or indirectly involved with AI, which is a disturbing concentration. But whatever one thinks of AI, and to be honest, I don't think much of it, it has penetrated American and world business very quickly as tangible products and tools. And unlike the typical bubble, we do not (yet) have overcapacity. In fact, RAM prices are skyrocketing because of undercapacity. Is there cheap and abundant credit available to build overcapacity? Not as much as before the Global Financial Crisis, or the oil boom and bust. Will that change? Absolutely. Are the financial markets going to create complex instruments to increase credit availability? You betcha! It is already issuing debt collateralized by GPUs!

The real question is: What will happen to demand for AI products for the foreseeable future? As it becomes more sophisticated, it will gradually replace rote tasks and, increasingly, low-level customer interaction. That is already occurring, and it is occasionally useful, but often extremely irritating. It is also cheaper, or at least has the promise of saving labor costs, so regardless of its quality, it will be implemented by many companies.

But one limitation is power. Everyone knows that AI requires oceans of power, and not the fake, sometimes-on-sometimes-off green crap. It requires nice reliable natural gas, or oil, or coal, or nuclear power to run the vast server farms that it needs. And that is a very good thing. It will provide a stable demand for domestic energy production, and drive the new generation of nuclear. There is nothing like the promise of profit to end American corporation's fixation on green energy.

And if AI is a bubble, and it bursts? What happens to all of that now-excess power generation? Some will get mothballed, but some will be repurposed for the mundane but vital powering of the rest of the economy.

I doubt that AI is revolutionary. For the casual user, it is a bit more than a toy, but not yet an integral part of life. For the dedicated user it is a very useful tool to speed up tasks that are easily doable, but take time. Can it innovate? No. Can it invent? Well, yes, but those are appropriately called "hallucinations," and is the AI industry's dirty little secret!

49 I'm a Data Systems Architect.

The use cases for AI in business are overwhelming. If your business isn't figuring out how to take costly manual processes and use AI to improve them (not necessarily taking out the human-in-the-loop) then you're going to be at a competitive disadvantage for sure.

We took a data mapping process where we had system data view extracts that were heterogeneous in nature across all of the projects that these systems hosted, and these datasets were manually mapped to a standardized, regulatory/industry standard. The process took about 8 weeks for a SAS programmer to accomplish and it was getting longer due to the volume of data being collected during clinical trials these days.

The new process uses a variety of AI Agents to automatically map the datasets to the standard structure with about a 96% efficacy. There is still a human in the loop to perform that 4% of the data elements that fail to map properly, but it took that 8 week process down to a day. One day.

And yes, there are QC and Validation processes that run on that mapped data - those were in place before the automation. The AI Agents work passes those validation gates.

57 ICYMI -- from Pixy's Daily Tech News yesterday morning:

"The CEO of LLM marketplace Hugging Face says we're not in an AI bubble, just in an LLM bubble. (Tech Crunch)"

https://is.gd/niubqD

This is a valid point.

LLMs are generative AI - you tell them to draw a picture of a frog eating a set of deep-fried bagpipes and they pull together petabytes of tagged and shredded images and spit out something that may or may not resemble what you asked for.

That's the bubble.

Discriminative AI is where you point your camera at some weird piece of modern art and it figures out it's supposed to be a frog enjoying a meal of deep-fried bagpipes. Or more usefully, when your self-driving car swerves the precise amount needed to avoid a black cart darting across an unlit road on a moonless night.

That's getting less than 10% of the attention but represents 99% of the long-term value.

They clearly obviously were a revolution -- one of the biggest in all human existence. Think about how life was like before SP. Think about not having a SP now. Yeah.

Major revolution. The only question is whether the revolution came in one big sudden product (iphone, etc) or more incrementally over a few years and products. I think it was the latter. But a revolution spread out over a few years and several products is still a revolution.

The jury is still out on whether AI is a revolution, a hyped flop, or somewhere in the middle. I think the latter.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at November 20, 2025 11:18 AM (iFTx/)

66 I doubt that AI is revolutionary.

While possible, I think it's very unlikely. AI has shown tremendous growth in capabilities, in multiple fields, and I don’t see it slowing anytime soon. In fact, as AI becomes more capable and can program additional AI systems to run subtasks, it will probably just get more efficient.

From the military perspective, it's viewed as a potential gamechanger, almost like a superweapon. It could control fleets of drones, collecting intelligence on the enemy, adding other intel products from scouts, signal intercepts, etc to more accurately predict enemy strength and location, and guide attack drones to critical enemy assets.

When large units need to redeploy, or theaters of war opened, AI can accout for the entirety of the logitistical footprint, calculate the optimal loading and shipping methods, plan convoy sizes, speeds and frequencies, etc (and maybe eventually drive much of equipment). It promises to make the entire force much more efficient, predictive, and able to rapidly respond, outpacing enemy armies in staff work speed and accuracy, which trickles down throughout the entire force.

The same notion of "it's going to change everything and it'll be here any minute" and nobody really could explain how any of the supposed changes were supposed to happen although all manner of magic was described as a possible consequences of it.

Now, of course, much of the work that went into the nanotechnology of the 1980's is still around today, but none of the real magic ever occurred. I find that AI tends to make things easier when it works, but for some reason the things I ask it to do tend to confuse it. I didn't think I was that odd.

Unless there is some major breakthrough in materials science that allows us to move beyond silicon as the basis for computing, probably not. Moore's Law has been dead for at least a decade and clock speeds on silicon have not increased.

Meanwhile, it cost OpenAI two orders of magnitude more $$ to train GPT4 relative to GPT3, and another order of magnitude to train GPT5 (which is only marginally better, if at all, than GPT4).

The technology is getting *more* expensive as it advances while the returns on the investment are diminishing.

130 One of the funniest thing in my daily inbox is a report from Bloomberg Green. Today they report on the COP Climate Change confab in Brazil, where Gov Newsom is wielding the mantle of power abdicated by Trump:

"One of the biggest fights at COP is, well, a food fight. Specifically, how much meat is on the menu. Strange bedfellows that include vegan activists, climate-denying bloggers and even Republican House members have made hay over beef and other meats being served at previous COPs."

They think this is straight reporting. ISYN

131 I’ve taken investments out of so-called AI. There’s not enough resources to make it work as promoted. Some growth in power generation would be a positive outcome after the bubble bursts. So-called AI is mid. It has some uses, but the hype is overblown. It is not general intelligence, but people want it to be. It’s like the Rogerian psychotherapist program ELIZA. So many people thought it was intelligent, but you could write an ELIZA-type program in a few pages of BASIC.

Oh, I'd say it was a revolution.

The iPhone (and competitors) were more about finding ways to constant force your attention of the iPhone and never/rarely letting it out of your sight or hand. This was a huge social revolution.

The iPhone gobbled up every other "hand device" people used cameras, music formats, videos, movies TV, news, weather, and now medical devices and sleep monitors

It turned phone calls into huge worldwide social networks that crippled the idea of nationhood, it allow clever propaganda and mind manipulation into your home and presented it to your children, and let antisocial lunatics gather and thrive.

It eats the time you would spend talking to people directly or read books or play sports, etc.

The complete tyrannical silliness of Obama and Biden years would've been impossible without the iPhone and the nationwide "tattletale system" it enabled.

Now, technologically there have been few massive changes since oh maybe 4 years ago, but socially...yeesh!

The cool part of this is that the company I work for has a directive in place to not allow AI (or rather, machine learning) to displace workers or make them redundant.

Those SAS Programmers are now working on other tasks - actually, much sexier tasks like custom predictive analytic dashboards.

Eventually the directive will run its course, and some redundancies will be made evident but for now - its definitely helped.

What has NOT helped is leadership's "shotgun" approach to implementing these AI tools. There's basically a governance group that greenlight individual department AI implementations and its turned into a hot mess of costs over-runs and confusing "which agent do I use to lookup the information I want?" kind of environment.

Generative AI shouldn't be used for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) solutions.

You'll use an LLM to formulate the output into sentences that humans can understand, but the task of analyzing the source documents should be left up to a very specific trained "embedded" model that has indexed all of the source material in a database-like storage schema that gives the embedding model context for the data its supposed to analyze.

My first "AI" project at work was creating a "Contract Chatbot" which allowed users to ask questions about the contracts we had with our vendors. All of those contract documents had to be curated, chunked, and indexed. It does not hallucinate because it has strict instructions via system prompt to not "make stuff up" if the search index returns no results for the query it generates from the user prompt.

- the ability of the state to monitor virtually everything we do, where we go and what we see online

Its a bit more complicated than that - but I was also working with a rather heterogenous dataset of only about 15,000 documents which is rather small.

But still, I'm actually surprised to hear that a "Legal" AI Agent is making stuff up like that still. If you're using just a general LLM to do that kind of stuff then yeah - its job is precisely to make shit up!

190 Anything generated by AI needs to be very clearly stamped AI.

-------------

Is this an actual federal law?

[Asks Brave "AI:"]

"No, there is currently no comprehensive federal law in the United States that requires all AI-generated content to be clearly stamped or labeled as such.

While there are proposed federal bills, such as the AI Disclosure Act of 2023, which would have required generative AI outputs to include a disclaimer stating they were AI-generated and enforced by the FTC, these have not been enacted into law."

197 The latest "AI assist" that was inflicted on us in Emburse Enterprise (a travel and purchase card reconciliation system, formerly known as Chrome River), is an automatic itemization of hotel folios.

It has not been trained on anything but the most standard format hotel receipt. It takes any number that looks like an amount and creates a line item for it under the main transaction. It does not automatically flood the hotel's name into the appropriate field in the itemization. It does not consider that clients may not have the capability or the need or the desire to categorize itemized taxes and fees.

This "assist" was rolled out "to save time and effort" but it increases both by a factor of 10 or more, because the user has to edit each itemization to add the information the AI is too stupid to put in correctly, or delete, line by line all the itemizations that the AI made that are not needed.

And if I knew how to contact them to complain about it I would.

I was challenged to write a country song, not knowing much about country. But I did write it. Took maybe 30 mins? Called "Yankee Boy" and it's about a NYC lawyer who gets sent to the south to fix some shit. "But what's a Yankee Boy to do, down shitkicker drive and redneck avenue?"

Well, the brick phones, or bag phones as they were known to me, were mostly sold as car phones, and used that way. Oil patch workers, like me, ran them in our truck going to and from the rig, and once there, would tote them into our wellsite shack, set up a Yagi antenna on the roof, and snake the cable in through the cable port on the wall. Phone would be plugged into a DC power supply plugged into the wall outlet, which was fed by rig power. If the rig was in a really remote location, it would have a repeater set up atop the derrick.

Don't judge the field by the "customer service" apps... remember, the people who design those are the same ones who gave us the previous shitty "customer service" systems. They're designed to save money, not provide actual customer service. "Your call is important to us". Like fun it is. "We're experiencing an unusually high volume of calls". Don't lie to me, asswipes.

And so on.

Just sign up for a Grok account and spend, say, half a day playing with it.

I don't know. You still really cannot rely on the flags for anything other than dead reckoning. Cases get flagged in ways that are questionable or that require further thought/examination by a person. There's also unflagged cases that should be flagged in some way as well. I like the flags, but if they're analogous to AI, then AI will at best be a helper monkey in law, assuming you can get the hallucinations under control.

The absolute worst part of computer printers is the paper handling. Misfeeds, jams, etc.

I wish some printer manufacturer would come out with an updated clone of the old HP Paintjet, with tractor-feed paper. They just plain worked.

The desktop printers of 30 years ago, which lacked all the bells and whistles seemed to me to be faster and less error prone than those today. Also the ink cartridges lasted far longer.

273 I wanted to try my hand at generating a short scripted video.

Grok told me, I only do text, but listed tools & free sites I could use to roll my own.

Grok-Imagine looked promising, but after filling in all the parameters and uploading the script, it went to the price$ page. No thanks, trillionaire Elon. You already get too much from my having StarLink.

I looked up Sora, but that wants me to download an "app" onto my poor struggling laptop. Maybe I will, after I find out how much memory etc it's going to suck up.

My free time and brain power for researching this is limited. There must be a video generator out there that works online for free. Isn't there?

Copyright, as we know it, is dead. It's been dead for a few decades; the corpse is just still twitching a bit.

Before the Statute of Anne in 1710, there really wasn't such a thing... people would get paid for singing, or putting on plays, or painting a picture, but the idea that you could legally prevent someone else from singing the same song etc. just didn't exist.

It's really an artificial construct. Just about every society has the concept of real and personal property that belong to some identifiable individual who has the exclusive right to that property, the concept that Murder is Bad, the concept that Adultery is Bad, etc. Now, what counts as, say, murder or adultery varies. Is it legal to kill someone who's boning your spouse? That depends on the society. But the base concept is almost always there.

Copyright is a weird concept that's was only enforceable because making copies was difficult and expensive.

Now that anyone can make perfect copies for essentially free, it's dead, dead, dead.

288 The more AI is utilized especially in business and white collar areas, there will be a widening dearth of experienced professionals because the entry level areas in which newbies learned the ropes will be eaten up with AI. Basic level research, analysis, planning, writing, thinking problem-solving will be outsourced and people will not be developing their brains with the necessary fundamentals. Now, there is a lot of bullshit busy work that goes into the mix that gets punted to the first-year kid because nobody else wants to do it, but the way I see it this could very well saw the first few rungs off the knowledge ladder without providing a means to grasp what is not the lowest rung.

124 This isn't something I would hang but I rather like the technique. It is expressive. The color scheme reflects the worn buildings and how they are fading into the stark background. But the town isn't abandoned or defeated, just reduced. The hint of occupation is encouraging and shows resilience. The longer I look at it, the more I'm impressed. There is a "endeavor to persevere" vibe to it.

I looked at some of his other paintings. The style reminded me of some of the WPA paintings that were used in public buildings back in the 1930s.

Aaron Bohrod was an American artist best known for his trompe-l'œil (optical illusion) still-life paintings.

Typical of a small business added to the front of an existing house in a residential neighborhood. A "Mom & Pop" restaurant (as here), small grocery-convenience store or newsstand & tobacconist. Most, maybe all, are gone now. Some I'm familiar with were converted into apartments. Others were torn down when the neighbor was redeveloped. For the model train people here, this would make an interesting model, with or without the "tableau."

167 The old Hook's Drug store chain started in Indianapolis. They have a building on the state fairgrounds that is a replica of the very first one. The Hook's Drugstore Museum.

Hook's Drugstores were gobbled up by CVS.

Back in the early 1900's one could buy opium at a drugstore. No prescription needed. Now, CVS banned their stores from selling cigarettes and even lighters because they "want to stop encouraging people to continue an unhealthy habit". CVS still has a mile and a half of candy and soda, and junk food in every store.

177 110 So I see Trump/Vance are not invited to Cheney's funeral unlike all the other uniparty pols.
Posted by: Kamala Harris breaking out the knee pads

Trump won't attend, Vance wasn't invited.

USA's article is somewhat of a hoot: 'Dick Cheney funeral live updates: Former presidents, friends remember polarizing VP' Former presidents and longtime Republican friends are set to attend the Nov. 20 funeral service of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who died at 84.'

In part, "Cheney, part of an old Republican guard quickly vanishing in the era of Donald Trump, died at 84 years old on Nov. 4 following complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

Former President George W. Bush is set to speak at the funeral, and former President Joe Biden is expected to also attend. ..." 😲😬

And, of course, Liz Cheney will also speak. 😣

"A legacy shaped by Iraq invasion. Cheney is known as the architect of the war in Iraq. He helped lead the push following the 9/11 terrorist attacks under Bush to invade Iraq based on intelligence ‒ later proven wrong ‒ that Saddam Hussein had amassed weapons of mass destruction."

That's one hell of a remembrance. 🤡

180 The Art: Its tough for me to get into this one. It invokes thoughts of a comic from the Sunday newspaper (remember those?) combined with a Thomas Kinkade overly glitzy treatment of a mundane scene. The use of color is nice.

Typical of a small business added to the front of an existing house in a residential neighborhood. A "Mom & Pop" restaurant (as here), small grocery-convenience store or newsstand & tobacconist. Most, maybe all, are gone now. Some I'm familiar with were converted into apartments. Others were torn down when the neighbor was redeveloped. For the model train people here, this would make an interesting model, with or without the "tableau."

200 155 ... "I don't say they weren't good, but do you really think they are at the level of DaVinci or Vermeer? Really?"

I think Hopper, the Wyeths and Rockwell were as good as Da Vinci and Vermeer in that they were so effective in their works and abilities to use their materials. The styles, of course, and materials are very different but the level of talent is on a par. I would include Constable, many of the Hudson River School, and the Dutch Golden age painters in the group.

My opinion, for what it's worth.

Epstein thought Trump was evil, too. When a fellow pedophile who rapes kids says you're worse than he is....you're basically as disgusting as they come

Trump hated Cheney and vice-versa but this snub will definitely frost Trump's insecure ass. I am slightly disappointed we won't get to see Melania's funeral attire. Homegirl probably had the perfect gigantic hat for the occasion

Uh, wasn't this Trump's selling point? He's "not a politician"? Doesn't this just re enforce that? Good for the Cheney family but it's no surprise or big deal.

That's Trump's selling point but it's always been the opposite of who Trump is. He is a person who has always been desperate for the attention and approval of the elites.

It's not that they are not invited. They were *specifically uninvited*, and that's an important difference.

Sadly, the Left just keep repeating the "Trump is a pedo" lie and it slowly catches on in the zeitgeist.

Chidanand Rajghatta / TNN / Updated: Nov 20, 2025

TOI Correspondent from Washington:

"A frisson of excitement is coursing through Washington DC and New York City after President Donald Trump announced that he will be meeting Zohran Mamdani in the White House on Friday at the request of the New York City Mayor-elect, the first Indian-origin person voted to administer the global entrepot.
Trump himself confirmed the engagement on his social media account on Wednesday night, posting “Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran “Kwame” Mamdani, has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st. Further details to follow!”

Then when he died he was kind of OK compared to the current devil Bush.

Then when Trump came along he was the devil and Bush was kinda cool.

So yeah Vance will be the new devil and Trump will be kinda OK.

263 U.S. employers added a surprisingly solid 119,000 jobs in September, the government said, issuing a key economic report that had been delayed for seven weeks by the federal government shutdown. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4% in September, highest since October 2021 and up from 4.3% in August, the Labor Department said Thursday. The unemployment rate rose partly because 470,000 people entered the labor market — either working or looking for work — in September and not all of them found jobs right away. The increase in payrolls was more than double the 50,000 economists had forecast.

I don’t like it personally, vote buying by either side is a bad thing. Use the money to pay off the debt.

Congress has to go along with it as well. Not sure there are votes in the house to make it happen. And definitely not 60 votes in the senate.

266 G'day, y'all. Gray overcast and cooler after last night's deluge here in NE Okla. Still nice for November.

The painting struck me in three phases. First, the somewhat cartoonish style. Second, of course, the tilt of the scene. But that led to the only action in the painting, the fellow walking downhill. I was impressed that the stance did seem to effectively reflect the stride one assumes when walking down an incline like that. Nicely done in that, IMO.

Got to go back and pick up on JJ's Report now. Carry on, troops.

It rarely amounts to anything. These announcements are mostly funding PR -- and lo and behold, the company is in the midst of raising capital. Shocker.

The Morning Report — 11/20/25

Good morning kids.

Per the lyrics to a classic from The Who: I hope I die before I get old Well I'm at the point of wishing that upon if not the entirety of today's younger generation(s) then certainly an alarmingly large number of that cohort. And to be fair, retroactively they can take quite a few of the Baby Boomers to whom Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey were referring, with them straight to Hell. Because it was they who begat this insanity, and if only they had indeed died before they got old and became, teachers, thought leaders and politicians perhaps we could have avoided the cultural rot and madness that now threatens to drag whatever vestiges of civilization that are represented by America as founded that yet remain and have not been set alight like a sleeping passenger on a NYC and now a Chicago subway train.

It is to weep. But here we are, and we cannot know the future. Perhaps Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk weren't one-offs. Only time will tell.

Yet, on the heels of our latest episode of the podcast, where CBD and our good friend Jim Lakely, VP and Dir. of Communications at the Heartland Institute discussed the latter's latest nightmare polls about the rise in popularity of Socialism (linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the outlets listed at the bottom of this post) . . .

Heartland has released this poll which is just twisting the rusty knife in the open wound.

41% of likely voters aged 18-39 voiced support for a proposal to give an advanced AI system authority to control public policymaking decisions
36% of likely voters aged 18-39 said they would support a proposal that would give AI the “authority to determine the rights that belong to individuals and families, including rights related to speech, religious practices, government authority, and property”
35% said they would support a proposal to give AI authority to control all the world’s largest militaries

And speaking of the world's largest militaries, what of our own?

“Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection.” . . .There must have been a time in American history when six sitting lawmakers urging members of the military to defy the commander-in-chief would have been viewed as outright sedition — and those lawmakers would have quickly faced justice. In the age of Trump, however, those days are long gone.
Touting their prior military and intelligence service, Democrat Sens. Elissa Slotkin (MI), who organized the video, Mark Kelly (AZ), and Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA), Maggie Goodlander (NH), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), and Jason Crow CO), launched a surreal video on Tuesday in which they called on troops to refuse to carry out what they consider to be President Donald Trump’s “illegal” orders.

Unlike others of "my generation" I was raised with a respect for and a trust of our military. Considering what an alarming number of our top intelligence and law enforcement officers had done in engineering the Russia Collusion hoax, as well as the attitudes of individuals like Mark Milley, Mad Dog Mattis and other high-ranking brass, as well as the destruction of morale and preparedness in the ranks that swept through them, from Buck Private all the way to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff brought about under Barack Hussein Obama, (this on top of the malign influence of the military industrial complex and the warmongers of the neocon and other varieties that still exists) — and considering all we have seen over the past decade or more given the rot and corruption in and out of government, I no longer have confidence that there exists a shocking number of service members who will hear and obey this siren song of sedition.

GIven the insane rise in popularity of socialism which didn't appear out of thin air but has been inculcated for decades, my fear about our military is not necessarily irrational in this light, or is it?

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

29 What if you asked AI to design an AI?

What do you mean by AI?

AI is a marketing brand now to sell the idea of large data centers or CPU cycle stealing spell-checks and screen scrapers. It can mean as much or as little as the human imagination can conjure up.

Do you mean search engine? Spelling and Grammar check? Image or Music mosaic generator? Machine Learning? (which too is an older marketing term for pattern matching and feature discovery)

I'm pretty sure that the "AI" that fixes your business correspondence or converts your school year book photos into pr0n isn't the same design framework that navigates a FSD Tesla through traffic.

The Democrat is accused of stealing Federal Emergency Management Agency overpayments that her family health care company had received through a federally funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract, federal prosecutors said. A portion of the money was then funneled to support her campaign through candidate contributions, prosecutors allege.

77 The West Point graduate, who last year (2017) posed in a picture holding a cap that had “Communism will win” written inside, is officially out of the U.S. Army with an other-than-honorable discharge.

Spenser Rapone rocked the military community last year after his social media posts were revealed, showing him wearing a Che Guevara shirt underneath his military uniform.

He is no longer part of the U.S. military after top brass at Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division accepted his resignation Monday after an earlier warning for “conduct unbecoming of an officer.” He’s leaving the military with an other-than-honorable discharge.

Army officials condemned the cadet last year and opened an investigation into his social media activity. “Second Lieutenant Rapone’s actions in no way reflect the values of the U.S. Military Academy or the U.S. Army,” an Army statement read.

98 Wait times are years. Time to go long on the very few manufacturers like Siemens?

There are companies in the US that want to make transformers. The problem is that regulations prohibit the economical manufacture of them, and, according to an industry expert, making transformers is a hard job and finding anyone who is willing to work hard is damned near impossible.

Yeah, you can pay people more, but that just gives greater pressure on illegal aliens or continuing to offshore the manufacture.

Beyond labor, the US doesn't have the supply chain to even build transformers at scale. Metal is heavy, our industries are shuttered and the rail lines connecting coal and iron have been converted into hike and bike trails.

It would have to be neighborhood reactors, and I promise you that Party Members will be served first, and then BIPOC neighborhoods second.

Today they realize that their AI and server farm needs are going to require a vast expansion of grid capacity, and nothing except nuclear can get them there.

There's a tendency for people to focus on the shiny new product instead of the benefits the new product will bring. AI is a great example. A lot of people are off touting how wonderful it will be to have super smart machines instead of selling the benefits those machines will bring to society. Same with politics. Don't sell party dogma, sell the benefits.

Same thing works in reverse. Young people are people sold socialism not the outcome. It's pointless to bitch about socialism as an ideology, focus on the outcome of which there are many examples of utter failure.

Add in the recent SCOTUS ruling from the UT case that agency regulations can't be a basis for endless delays via lawsuit.

I don't think the left understands what this means:
Once a site is chosen and approved, the plant will be built with no further delay. Within months.

That is light years away from "praying for the sole of the soon to be executed"

No, I don't. In fact, I'm not up to date on the technology today but I am familiar with the general operation of nuclear reactors, the safety considerations and limits, and the operator training involved.

I'm also familiar with pie-in-the-sky promises of some incipient technology which will solve all our problems and make the holodeck a reality.

169 so I use it to turn aggregate customer/target sampling into cleaner data I can then analyze easier. I also use it to sweep through large audio files (of client interviews) and pull out sample quotes (as well as transcripts).

I wouldn't be able to do as much work as I've been doing without it. And an assistant (which I need!) will make as many mistakes if not more and take 5x longer to do so.

I feel sort of bad about this I guess. But I use critical thinking on everything AI sends my way and it's literally just doing "busy work" that I can easily check. I DO NOT just "let it do its thing" and I get really frustrated with people in my field (advertising) who do. And that's a lot of people.

But it's good if you use it as a tool, and don't let the tool use you. which is true for many things.

174 "The suspect with a lengthy criminal history and who was released after being accused in a violent August attack, has been federally charged after allegedly lighting a young woman on fire Monday on the Chicago Blue Line train and yelling "burn b----."

Lawrence Reed, 50, is charged with committing a terrorist attack or violence against a mass transportation system, according to a recently filed criminal complaint.

Federal prosecutors allege Reed intentionally used gasoline and a lighter to set a woman on fire aboard a CTA Blue Line train at about 9:30 p.m. Monday...U.S. District Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros said the woman was "minding her own business and reading her phone" while seated in the middle of the train car, when Reed approached her from the back of the car, doused her head and body with gasoline, and attempted to ignite the liquid."

- you still have to produce the fuel, and the moderator, and the control mechanisms, and the systems to turn the heat into power, and the safety systems, and the transmission systems... and you have to train all the people required to operate all that and, AFAIK, none of that is happening today.

This too, seems like a really bad idea. Adult Supervision is required for nuclear reactors, in my opinion. And Adults do some really stupid things as well. They just think they know what they are doing, instead of the “hold muh beer, watch this!” which is also a recipe for disaster. The Soviets had some real doozies.

The Left says No to IC engines, engineering schools evaporate for that tech, petrochem engineers students find some other course of study. Experienced engineers retire without the necessary knowledge transfer since there is no one to transfer it to.

We would be foolish to ignore this. It’s come up in just about every poll- of which admittedly I am not a big fan. But like it or not that’s the perception. Trump has talked up what he’s doing, but as of yet it’s not translating down to a lot of people. That’s the danger in talking things up prematurely. While some prices are coming down (I believe) a lot of food companies have gotten used to inflated margins and don’t want to let go. They are hoping that wage growth picks up and people will eventually not notice. For example, in south Texas the wanted almost $4 for one artichoke. From California. For Pete’s sake I could almost throw one from there to here. It’s theft at this point and it’s choking the economy for average people.

As an aside, I believe we will see a nice rebound from the things Trump is doing. It looks like Q1-Q2 next year will get a decent bump unless Democrats decide to shut down the government on 30th July.

They had drained the reactor for maintenance but they hadn't drained it all the way. It's theorized that he was removing the control rod and it became stuck. He pulled really hard to get it unstuck, the reactor power increased enough to flash the remaining water to steam and, as the control rod was unrestrained, it shot out of the reactor like a bullet.

If AI continues to improve, would you support a proposal to take power away from most human lawmakers and instead give an advanced AI system the authority to control the majority of public policy decisions?"

There was a story I was reading... last month(?) talking about small modular nuclear... almost batteries being developed in Japan for use in remote areas. The idea is that in a lot of remote areas they currently use a diesel generator and they would replace them with the nukes. The story did not mention needing a lot of supervision (as you all mention with a standard reactor and steam generator.)

I think they were a molten salt design.

...Trump has talked up what he’s doing, but as of yet it’s not translating down to a lot of people. That’s the danger in talking things up prematurely. While some prices are coming down (I believe) a lot of food companies have gotten used to inflated margins and don’t want to let go. They are hoping that wage growth picks up and people will eventually not notice...

As an aside, I believe we will see a nice rebound from the things Trump is doing. It looks like Q1-Q2 next year will get a decent bump unless Democrats decide to shut down the government on 30th July.
Posted by: Marcus T at November 20, 2025 08:48 AM (pTr2w)

I think that the way to look at what Trump is doing is to remember Reagan c. 1981. He kept Volcker on from the Carter Admin to have him continue to tackle inflation. As a result, the Rs got spanked in the 1982 midterms. Now, Reagan stayed the course which got us into the Morning in America '84 election. Trump is making a similar bet on his remaking of the US economy. In the long term, he'll win. In the short term, it's a nail-biter.

And about 1/3 of all violent crime comes from illegals so there are thousands of rapes, murders, and assaults that are allowed to occur because we don't deport all of them.

338 In its annual "Trouble in Toyland" report, U.S. PIRG said, "In our testing, it was obvious that some toy companies are putting in guardrails to make their toys behave in a more kid-appropriate way than the chatbots available for adults. But we found those guardrails vary in effectiveness – and at times, can break down entirely. One toy in our testing would discuss very adult sexual topics with us at length while introducing new ideas we had not brought up – most of which are not fit to print."

One of the four A.I. toys U.S. PIRG tested this year always listens, even when not in use, and some use recordings of a child's voice, which comes with risks. In 2023, scammers used similar recordings to create a replica of a child's voice and tricked a mother into thinking her child had been kidnapped.

348 It occurs to me that some people may be misunderstanding seemingly negative comments towards nuclear power...

I am, unequivocally, in favor of expanded nuclear power in the US. I am in favor of work on molten-salt reactors. I am in favor of testing on pebble-bed reactors.

I am in favor of the government approving 1-2 standard designs to be built out rather than having every plant be slightly different than every other plant. I am in favor of removing any laws/regulations forbidding the reprocessing of nuclear fuel. I am in favor of making our "nuclear waste" regulations sane.

I just don't expect that a significant percentage of the US electric grid will be powered by nuclear in the next ten years.

No one could figure out what you were talking about, honestly.

CROW: Martha, Donald Trump has made a series of disturbing comments and suggestions that would violate U.S. Law and put our military in a terrible position.

MACCALLUM: We are getting nowhere because you are not talking about an order.

Even into the 1970s seeing Deer was cause for comment. “Wow!”. Population took a long time to rebound. Now they are a pest, more or less. Beautiful creatures, and tasty too.

379 The Who sucks is a spicy take but I agree. One great album, Quadrophenia. OK, it's a double album but it's one title so one album.

Other than that they had some great songs here and there (many not even on albums) but no great albums. Lots of shite and an absurd number of unfunny comedy songs.

Tommy is one of the most overrated albums ever released.

Townshend's "All the Best Cowboys..." solo album beats the pants off any Who album except Quadrophenia.

I actually agree with the sentiments of the tweet. It is Kafkaesque that our censoring him completely destroys his life. At the same time, he chose this path because he believed that he had authority that he does in fact not have. He chose to make pronouncements and 'Europe' has not fucking power to actually do a fucking thing to protect him, so what in fact do his arrest warrants mean? Not a fucking thing.

394 Do you think that operating a nuclear reactor is uncomplicated? Or do you believe that knowing not much and trusting the instrumentation is wise? Or do you advocate for 90 day wonders operating a nuclear reactor in your vicinity?
Posted by: I used to have a different nic

Most old designs aka pressurized water/steam, are active and those systems are the primary problem. New systems use molten salts and are passive at low pressures. So when the control rods are pulled, the reaction stops and the molten salts cool without the possibility of core melting via overheating as the molten salts freezing point is far above water and pressures minimal.

We've known how to do this since the 60's as well as Thorium reactors and nuclear reprocessing of waste. We have just lacked the will to do it.

Same sob story as a UN female rep doing the same shit.

Neither have ratified the ICC treaty applying to themselves so the ICC legally speaking has no authority over them.

Instead, the new intl crowd are trying to upvote traditions and customs as justification to apply their rules to non signatory states. That has never been the understanding on conventional international law which require treaty accession or at the very least, acquiescence by a state.

The problem is that previous administrations refinanced the debt on short term notes so they have to be re-upped at the higher rates so even more tax dollars are going to bankers even without additional excessive spending. If rates were lowered, the debt could be refinanced with longer bonds... assuming people bought them

Yes, tis true. And Yellen by doing that is responsible for about 150-200 billion increase in the deficit from higher interest costs because of it. Yellen and the Biden admin moved to using short term T bills and notes less than 5 yrs instead of the more traditional 10 to 30 yr bonds.

Want to cut 10 percent of the deficit--voila-refinance Yellen's short term notes at long term lower rates as in about 1 percentage point lower.

478 Most old designs aka pressurized water/steam, are active and those systems are the primary problem. New systems use molten salts and are passive at low pressures.

Molten salt reactors are, inherently, safer.

However, insofar as I am aware, molten salt reactors still have to boil water and produce steam in order to be useful. I haven't seen any articles on systems which produce electricity directly from the reaction. And that means a steam plant to run a turbine to spin a generator.

Trump's Plan is clearly to inflate his way out of massive debt. There could be some cuts as well, but only by continuing the Inflation Phase could he possible control the Debt Monster.

So the rich get richer as trust fund babies watch their fortunes soar, and more middle class get richer by feeding their paychecks into the Free Money Machine of our inflated markets. But the (reciprocal) tariffs can certainly offset a lot of the unfairness from other countries that protected their own markets.

I'm wondering how illegals are factored into job market numbers. If we deport 20% of the working illegals, do Americans get those jobs, or were those jobs never counted in the first place, so they become "New Jobs"?

Pressurized steam outside the reactor and not needed for cooling the core is a very different critter.

The main problem with reactor cooling using pipes is embrittlement from radiation over time plus access to highly radioactive areas.

Not an issue with external systems and more or less standard power plant or even large radiator heating systems used in buildings. Much easier to fix and not a critical area of safety.

Speaking of Chicago, how about the terrible, violent physical attack by young school children on a southside Chicago mother and her 9 year old son as she walked him home from school. Both are hospitalized in serious condition. Reportedly, she asked for help from the school for 2 years regarding the bullying of her son, prior to the attack which has been caught on camera.

From above, did you also notice that of the six Congressional Democrats who seemed to urge the US military to defy Presidential orders - two U.S. Senators and four U.S. Representatives - one U.S. Representative, Maggie Goodlander, is the wife of former U.S. national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, who served in that position from 2021 to 2025 under President Joe Biden?

Is it a big surprise? Not so much. NBC Montana, Aug. 7, 2024, 'Dem Socialists take credit for Harris picking Walz over Shapiro: '[We] are a force'

And I know I harp about formerly pretty okay PA, but also note U.S. reps Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan from the above crew of six are also Pennsylvanians.

But now the commonwealth seems to be barreling towards democratic socialism, too.

Mrs. Obama joined the global social media campaign to #BringBackOurGirls by tweeting a photo of herself holding a sign with the message on May 7, 2024. She further emphasized this message in the weekly presidential address on May 10, 201, speaking for the first time in place of her husband.

The Russians were as much guilty of starting WWII as the Germans were and every war since has been because the Russians weren't delt with back then.

The EU is considering scaling back the GDPR rules after learning that every website on the planet uses cookies. (The Verge)

Finally.
"We have all the ingredients in the EU to succeed. But our companies, especially our start-ups and small businesses, are often held back by layers of rigid rules," said Henna Virkkunen, executive vice-president for implementing layers of rigid rules at the European Commission.

If you need to replace your Nintendo GameBoy - which you likely do since the original came out in 1989 - the Ayaneo Pocket Vert looks like just the thing. (Liliputing)

It's about the same size as the original model, but has replaced the 2.5" monochrome screen with a 3.5" colour model, and upgraded the resolution from 160x144 to... 1600x1440.

Which is better than a whole lot of things.

It has four hidden trigger buttons on the back and turns the blank areas of the faceplate into an invisible touchpad.

No pricing information yet.
More PowerPoint slides than you ever wanted about the upcoming Snapdragon Elite X2. (Hot Hardware)

The Snapdragon Elite sank without a trace in the PC hardware market because it wasn't better enough - and certainly not cheap enough - to make up for the compatibility issues that come from running x86 software on Arm hardware.

As for this second attempt, the 18 core flagship model looks nice, but unless they've solved the pricing and compatibility issues that may not matter.

10 On the content - I always thought the GDPR was simply impossible to really be implemented (completely) the way it's written. The thought that the EU could issue a regulation that would apply to non EU companies everywhere else in the world, with no actual presence in the EU at all, just because some person in the EU logged on and bought something, was stupid.

26 Top Story is pretty wild.

Europe is scaling back its landmark privacy and AI lawsThe EU folds under Big Tech’s pressure.

After years of staring down the world’s biggest tech companies and setting the bar for tough regulation worldwide, Europe has blinked. Under intense pressure from industry and the US government, Brussels is stripping protections from its flagship General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — including simplifying its infamous cookie permission pop-ups — and relaxing or delaying landmark AI rules in an effort to cut red tape and revive sluggish economic growth.

67 "2026 will be the year of Linux on my desktop, at least."

I guess I was an early adopter. ~1998 was when I switched for anything other than Windows games. My laptop has my last operational Windows boot partition (my main desktop's windows drive failed and I haven't bothered to replace/fix that one) which I use to run Steam. After I found out that the author of my favorite games, Derek Smart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Smart) was rabidly anti-Trump, I deleted his games from my Steam account. ("All Aspect Warfare" was fun as well as "Universal Combat CE 2.0") I guess I'll try the new emulation layers to see if the older games that I like to play which don't have linux ports actually work.

It was and it went well. She gave me the second highest rating, which is what I gave myself, and was very complimentary in the "past year" write-up. My goals for next year were stuff like "learn to sleep in" and the like.

She did say that she had decided to not give me a raise, which I thought was fair since I won't be here to receive it.

87 I have been tracking down music videos for songs I used to listen to on the radio, and recently I hit a bad batch of excessively queer ones. I had no idea, since I didn't have cable and had not seen the videos at the time, but Faith No More, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Jane's Addiction (among others) are obnoxiously faggy.

I imagine that they thought they were being edgy, but it doesn't look that way through the lens of today. If anything it makes me sad; maybe it was their choice, or maybe they took The Ticket and got forced into gender-bending by diabolists.

I was pretty busy in my last two weeks. The budget for 2025-26 was due by the end of March. It was my job to reconcile everything (salaries, guest speakers, and supplies, to mention only three things) and make sure it was all entered in the budgeting software my employer used.

I miss tackling the logic puzzles of "Why am I off by $14,000?" Nothing else about it all, though.

Changing my older PC laptop over to Linux Mint will be a good challenge, though.

But Rusi is no stranger to being the subject of crime reports. In 2017, KPRC 2 News reported on police needing help finding him as a gang member and a bank jugging suspect.

At the time, he had more than 30 arrests.

Let's play the "Guess the party" game. News story about a corrupt politician that's been caught being corrupt. Title doesn't mention party affiliation. Summary doesn't either. First 30 seconds of the video doesn't either.

Gee, I wonder... Go to Wikipedia, paste in the politician's name.

Sure enough: Political party Democratic.

Funny how when it's a Republican in a story like this, (R) is right after their name, and they salt the summary and the video/audio with the term "Republican" as much as they can.

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Mr. Cheney said. Citing Mr. Trump’s “lies and violence,” he said the former president could “never be trusted with power again.”

He added: “We have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”

Mr. Trump fired back on social media, calling Mr. Cheney “an irrelevant RINO,” meaning Republican in Name Only. “He’s the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris,” Mr. Trump said then.

I'm growing warm to the idea that the trafficking of underage girls was just a side hustle to the money laundering business.

I used to work for a banking consulting firm in the S&L peak before the RTC closed it all down. The company was making huge amounts of money for ourselves and clients and often how we would attract clients is through Expert Services provided by some extremely good looking young women (who knew nothing about banking).

The Sex With Children angle is everywhere, I wouldn't doubt that the Democrats have facilitated the trafficking of hundreds of thousands of children to perverts as playthings.

I wouldn't dual boot, unless for some arcane reason, you need it. Gaming might also be a reason.

Otherwise, you can run a "live" distro by booting off a USB thumbdrive to explore while you keep windows. Linux Mint does well at this.

In the end, keeping Windows is most easily done running Linux, using Windows in a Virtual Machine on Linux, if your hardware supports it. It's more work, sure, on par with dual boot, but it is smoother without the dual boot downsides and pitfalls.

244 The DOD Chief Information Officer (CIO) has initiated a significant overhaul of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to enhance cybersecurity and streamline the acquisition process. The new RMF, set to be released by the end of November, will include the "10 Commandments" of continuous monitoring, re-evaluation of definitions and training, and the adoption of continuous authorization to operate (ATO). This effort aims to replace the legacy RMF with a more agile and responsive framework that maintains security standards while accelerating innovation and operational readiness.

245 I'm going Linux again too. I had it for years, but I caught myself in my Windows 10 VM so much that I just switched them. Now that I need a new computer, I've noticed that I don't really do anything on my personal workstation that requires Windows, so I'll P to V this thing, save the image with the rest of them and build something.

246 This morning, I received $16,945 as my 3rd paycheck from this incredible online job, and I’m still amazed at how easy it is! With just a few hours of effort each day, I’ve been consistently earning $500 or more, making this the perfect side hustle for anyone. The flexibility and reliability of payments have given me peace of mind and freedom to focus on other goals..

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - November 19, 2025 [Nostalgia Rex]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. What? A double shenanigans link?! Yep - just for tonight. Because you're special (and it fits with the theme).

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another random assortment of interweb morsels and mystery clicks. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Don't be a traffic cone.

"Aayyyy! Time for Wednesday ONT content!"

***

Today is World Toilet Day according to the United Nations. Happy toilet day! No, this isn't AI and I did not make it up. In the spirit of the celebration, commenter number 2 will win the Official ONT Toilet Bowl Award for the day.

***

Imagine the work of an archeologist that attempts to construct a picture of what life was like based solely on fragments and pieces. Egyptologists work to figure out the story of ancient Egypt based on sculptures, tombs, ruins of buildings, and hieroglyphs. Dinosaurologists (otherwise known as paleontologists) attempt to imagine the life of dinosaurs before the unfortunate asteroid incident.

What will people of the future use to reconstruct our world? What could they look at? What would they think if they used only magazine covers?

The ONT is here to tackle the hard questions (in the name of science). What year? Let's give 1978 a try.

"This is going to be very random, isn't it?"

Yes. Yes it is. Enjoy!

Please excuse tankdemon for being late. He is STILL digging through his collection of Compute! magazines looking for the issue with Hunt the Wumpus cheat codes.

***

20251115-Omni Magazine cover.jpg

Exit question: How many are still being published today? ( I don't know the answer - I just ask questions.)

Because I knew you would ask, "Weeds, Trees and Turf Magazine" made it until 2000 before being absorbed by Turf Magazine which continues to publish quality content in hard copy and virtual form for "green industry professionals, offering insights on business management, greenskeeping, lawn care, landscape design, irrigation, snow and ice management, and the latest landscaping equipment." Carl Spackler approves.

***

Top ten magazines in the US in December 1978 by average paid circulation:

1 - TV Guide - 19,137,406
2 - Reader's Digest - 18,108,000
3 - National Geographic - 10,184,000
4 - Better Homes and Gardens - 8,006,357
5 - Family Circle - 7,503,124
6 - Woman's Day - 7,003,456
7 - Good Housekeeping - 5,406,799
8 - Ladies' Home Journal - 5,402,131
9 - McCall's - 5,305,189
10- Playboy - 5,206,111

***

The Pittsburgh police scanner keeps giving. Thank you people of Pittsburgh!

Not sure why you'd call the police, but...

The good news is that it isn't an intruder. The bad news...

Grand finale:

***

ONT Department of Legal Mumbo Jumbo - are you following the court battles on gerrymandering? On a 2-1 vote, a Federal district court on Nov 18 decided that redrawn congressional district maps in Texas were invalid because they were "racially gerrymandered." Ace covered the story yesterday.

If you are following this story, you'll be interested to know that a separate dissent was released today. Highly unusual. Want to know why? Read the dissent.

Other than general information, why am I posting this? The dissent is brutal. Brutal - on a personal level, on the legal merits and on the facts. It makes the majority opinion look even worse than originally thought. It is worthy of the book thread. It even has its own docket entry (for reasons). I believe an appeal is skipping the 5th Circuit and headed to SCOTUS. Stay tuned.

41 OK. Update on American Revolution. Lots of battles. Losses and wins on both sides. Indians start to believe they shouldn't trust either side, that failure awaits in any case. Americans have the Brits bottled up in Boston. Lafayette appears but isn't made a commander. Philadelphia falls. Washington keeps getting new/more troops, mainly with promises that most likely won't be kept. Biggest item = Brits are soundly defeated at Saratoga (Benedict Arnold is the hero) and an entire Brits army surrenders. That brings the French to the table and they are the first nation to recognize the USA.

79 World Toilet Day and the future.
Years ago I read an SF story about archeologists poking about in the ruins of ancient Earth. One of the few things to survive were ceramic objects that were present in almost every building. They came in a bewildering number of shapes and sizes. Were they altars? Perhaps some form of food distribution system? The only clue was a sign in a long forgotten language: "Employees Must Wash Hands After Using Restroom."

WAs wondering...

For tough to eradicate weeds like bamboo, thistles, and kudzu, what if you drove a copper-plated ground rod into the ground near the infestation, and connected that to your AC service neutral, and then clamp a jumper cable to the stalk of the plant, and plug the other end of the wire into an outlet? Put 120 volts AC right through the sucker. Maybe that would cook the weed enough to kill it, above and below ground, or burn the root hairs off the roots (which are the parts that enable a plant to uptake water and nutrients from the soil).

I'd rig it so there was a push-button switch and a 30 amp breaker in the box with the hot wire, so the wire would not be energized while moving the jumper from weed to weed.

Her orchestra played the same song back in May, and I told her at the time that they did a great job, but that song NEEDS a saxophone. She disagreed vehemently (Is there any other kind with Pookette?) and last night her band played it properly. Well, sort of. I could hear the clarinets and tenor saxes far better than the alto saxes, but that might have been a seat location issue.

Read similar about PVC, they grow into a crack or crevice that can easily be found in concrete but with out that they go around the obstacle. Electrocuting them sounds cool. A push button switch that's only on while depressed may be a safety.

184 I was in a Blue Man concert. I had bought tickets and early in the show a stage hand came up and asked me to participate.

They took me backstage and explained the act, then had me get put on a poncho and mask and get into a small box which they would wheel on stage and I would come out of.

The act was that they showed a video of "me" on stage of "me" after I went backstage that showed them basically beating the snot out of me in a comical way but was just a dummy wearing the same pancho and mask they had me put on.

It was pretty funny and well done.

196 Two amazing things happened to me in the 1970's: 1. There was this little club that my brother and I would go to after work. Mostly it was recorded music - but they had a stage so sometimes they'd have a local band playing. One night we walked in the door just as the DJ was saying "Ladies and Gentlemen: Chicago" Sure enough that is who it was. The club was only about 1/2 full so we got a table right in front of the band. They were so good. They used the club as rehearsal for their big concert date in Richmond.

2. I walked into an all night restaurant on Broad St in Richmond. There was a couple in there: Cher and Greg Allman. Cher was smiling and laughing at something Greg said. As soon as she saw me she went stiff and dropped into dealing with asses mode. No way I wanted to disturb them so I got a booth at the far end and ordered breakfast. Cher said "Doesn't he know who we are? Greg looked at me and said "He knows, he's just giving us privacy." After I gobbled down my eggs and toast I go up to leave. On the way out I gave each of them some polite applause. Greg nodded at me and said "I told you he knew who we were."

You know, movies and video "work" for humans because of a phenomenon called "persistence of vision". We get a short glimpse of something, and that images persists in our mind's eye for a few milliseconds until supplanted by something else. The result is we see movies and TV as a continuous flow of movement. Not all animals have this. What if highly-advanced space aliens did not have it? They could probably reason out that a strip of movie film was intended to represent motion. but they could not view the film and experience the motion the way we do.

Chicago (and those horns!) was my favorite band in the late 70's (R.I.P. the Great Terry Kath).

In the mid-90s, my girlfriend and I were visiting a gay friend of hers (whom she bought her pot from) in San Francisco. We went out to a club in one of the downtown hotels (I think it was "The Mint").

Anyway, we walk into a small amphitheater where they're having a karaoke night. A woman on-stage starts singing the famous song at the time "What's Up" by the 4 Non Blondes -- which I really liked -- and I was blown away.

I said: "She sounds just like the lead singer on that song" and my girlfriend's friend chuckles and says "That's because it IS the lead singer -- Linda Perry!" Turns out she was celebrating her birthday that night with a group of lesbian friends, who made her get up on stage and sing it.

254 You know, movies and video "work" for humans because of a phenomenon called "persistence of vision". We get a short glimpse of something, and that images persists in our mind's eye for a few milliseconds until supplanted by something else. The result is we see movies and TV as a continuous flow of movement. Not all animals have this.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

And they don't all have it at the same rate. Dogs are more likely to freak out about things on a modern digital TV than they were on old analog tube sets, because their eyes effectively work at a higher frequency than ours. New TVs look "real" to them; NTSC sets looked like really fast slideshows.

260 I said: "She sounds just like the lead singer on that song" and my girlfriend's friend chuckles and says "That's because it IS the lead singer -- Linda Perry!" Turns out she was celebrating her birthday that night with a group of lesbian friends, who made her get up on stage and sing it.

I just played their song on Youtube, and yes that was a good song.

I'm kind of amazed she could sing a Karaoke version of her song, since Karaoke changes keys to an easier to sing version. I can sing the Eagles song I can't tell you why in the original difficult falsetto key. I tried singing it to a Karaoke key and I was just awful; I kept hearing how the vocals were supposed to sound and they just didn't fit the music I was hearing. But that is part of why I'm not a musician.

Th trick would be to open the tube and apply the glue in a moisture-free atmosphere. Oxygen-free, even better. When I use POR-15 anti-rust paint, which is similarly catalyzed by airborne moisture, I stick the nozzle of my MIG welder under the edge of the lid as I am reclosing the can, and let CO2 flow in for a few seconds to displace the air. Seems to work.

You take the folded unit out of the closet, set it up, put your work piece and the Krazy Glue inside, and toss in a lump of dry ice. Give it time to gas off, and drive the air out, then open your tube of glue, glue up your job, and seal the tube, with it never having touched humid air. Betcha Anna could use one. Of course, she is smart enough to build one on her own.

The producers thought he would be too "scary" for a family show in leather. Originally he was written as somewhat scary, the other teens were sort of afraid of him. He caught on with teens, was allowed to wear the leather, and became a much bigger part of the show and they softened his character up a lot.

Wacky Prediction:

Democrats & Fake News will begin to "ask questions" about epstein's "suicide" and answer their "questions" with "Trump did it."

So, yeah, the Democrats now have no choice but to take up the esptein didn't kill himself (which they NEVER did before and called Us "conspiracy theoriests" for saying it) mantle and fake-conclude that Trump had him killed.

Super Glue-- My solution for the one- or two-use problem:

Buy the 4-pack of tiny little tubes at chynah freight. (Used to be 99 cents, probly 2 or 3 dollars now?)

I don't need the stuff very often, and only a drop or two when I do need it. Like, for gluing my skin back together after it splits in cold, dry weather! There's just no other way to *quickly* heal knuckle and fingertip splits, they'll keep breaking open because nearly impossible to bandage.

Respectfully disagree. When Smells Like Teen Spirit came out on the radio, you knew that a musical meteor had just struck the earth. You didn't know at the time that the big hair bands were about to become extinct. They had that kind of impact, out of nowhere.

Looking at Dave Grohl's post-Nirvana career, I'd say they had at least 2 world-beating musicians in that band. I doubt they would have survived as a unit a few years more than they did, but I think they would have solidified their place as one of the great bands in rock history.

Nirvana was ok, though the band that came out of it's ashes, Foo Fighters, were significantly better. Always thought Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were much better bands than Nirvana. I think the overwrought reaction after he died was odd. Anybody who paid attention to his lyrics could have seen he was a mess. Same for a lot of those guys at the time. Them dying by OD or by suicide was sad but hardly a shock. Its happened before. Early 70s (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison), late 50s/early 60s with quite a few of jazz greats ODd.

Pretty much. You nailed it maybe without even knowing it when you say "artists". I not sure I can even explain my feelings on grunge. Every frigging musician I ever met over the years that viewed themselves as "artists" were weird. I mingled with a lot of grunge "artists" over the years. The majority of them seemed dead inside. Its hard to explain. Metal dudes were not that way. We never viewed ourselves as artists. Artists are the ones that think they have something to say, and because of that its always some whiny self indulgent preachy bullshit. It would take hours to explain the differences. Metal dudes usually always had this fire in their soul, they weren't dead behind the eyes. We just operated on a whole different fuel source.

375 BarelyScaryMary, yes, Jim Croce's son played a mix of Jim Croce songs and some of his own new stuff, a blues influence with some rock throw in. It was interesting to listen to. He told a lot of stories about his Dad and himself and many other famous musicians that they had know and played with. He looks a lot like Elvis Costello once upon a time.

That and History of Western Civilization part 2.
Grunge was sort of just the next thing. There were some really good grunge bands that didn't make it too. Pond, Paw and a bunch of others. I had like 300 cds back then that never got any radio play anywhere. All collected from shows and a small indy record store in Savannah GA. I wish I still had them but they got stolen the night I arrived back home from Somalia. I've been able to find some on youtube but have long forgotten most of the band names.

Another funny interesting local weather factoid I stumbled on today. Every day, the GSP NWS puts out "this day in weather history", detailing some major weather event that happened on the given date.

Well, Nov. 14th was "nothing happened on this day". In all the local records since 1890, no notable weather event has happened on Nov. 14.

So, statistically that would be the date to choose if you didn't want to worry about bad weather.

432 Not a metal head. Don't hate it, just don't listen to it either. A couple of notable exceptions though. I love Dream Theater and, well, is Motorhead considered metal? They seemed like the first hybrid band (punk/metal). So, Motorhead and Dream Theater. There are others where I may like an album or two but overall, Motorhead and Dream Theater I listen too the most. I haven't listen to much lately except bluegrass and Appalachian music lately. Cole Chaney CDs on a loop. He only has two so its easy.

We used to take motorhead to a local bar when they were in the area, so I sat drinking with lemme on more than a few occasions. His exact words when I asked him if he considered motorhead metal -"we're rock and roll, but we got the metal hair".

Personally, I thought a shit load of what they did was metal, but lemme himself didn't think so. Really don't know why.

I have my mother's prized Santa tree ornament. Its well over 100 years old. Best I can tell it's late 1800s, and probably made in germany from what I saw while searching. It looks so fragile, very thin glass, but painted. She watched over that thing like a hawk when it was on the tree. I also have a good amount of ornaments my parents had from before I was born. I saw them in pictures on the tree when I was maybe 2-3 years old. I put them up every year.

If we count the existence of the United States as starting in Jul 4, 1776, the longest lunation in that history was the Dec one of 1787, the year of the Constitutional convention. That lunation was 29 days, 19 hours, 58 minutes, an 1 sec long. That was an extreme outlier, at nearly 20 hours over 29 days. 1610's Dec one was the longest, 57 seconds longer, going back to 1500, which is as far back as the tables I have go.

Yes, Christmas ornaments can evoke sweet memories. Grandmother gave me some of her old ones when she cleaned out her attic. Some WW2 vintage, plain glass with tinsel inside or dull stripes painted on & paper caps with string hangers instead of metal.

Most were from the late 40s thru 50s. Surprised at how much glass survived all those years!

The year we moved here we didn't have time to put up our normal tree, and the family room where the normal tree would have gone was like a frigging warehouse from the move. We ended up putting smaller trees in every room, and a 4 footer in the entrance foyer. There were my mothers which I took after she died, so at least I had them. It really wasn't bad. The real christmas was the move from hell ended on Dec 8 with the closing on the old house. We didn't have much room, but finally being free and the smaller trees everywhere was good enough.

Posted by: JQ at November 20, 2025 02:55 AM (rdVOm)

Some were only a foot tall lol. Mrs B had put those in the bathrooms. My mom had a few different styles of small trees around 3 foot tall of different styles that she decorated permanently, so one went in the dining room, one in the hallway. There were also a few in boxes she never opened, so we just threw lights on them. Frigging trees everywhere. Then when I had the surgery wasn't long after christmas so the big normal tree stayed up all year because I couldn't take it down. Was cool though, day after thanksgiving all I did was plug it in. lol

My ex hated Christmas too. (also--he was a smug, militant atheist)

I think it was mostly because he was just selfish. Our relationship was bound to fail.

My father, bastard scrooge that he is, never embraced christmas after my mom died, so he never decorated the house after that. He would say christmas was your mom's thing. Ok, well then I'm taking all her decorations, and kiss my ass Ebenezer.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 20, 2025 03:06 AM (snZF9)

469 Dad didn't decorate after Mom died, but he still celebrated Christmas. Sort of. I know it made him sad, because Mom was *all about Christmas* when she was alive.

After a few years, he relaxed and seemed to enjoy it more-- let me decorate his place a little bit-- and he at least brought out the Christmas linens for our holiday meals together.

Posted by: JQ at November 20, 2025 03:13 AM (rdVOm)

470 My dear father. He actually made clam chowder (Boston style) from scratch for Christmas Eve dinners, just like Mom used to do. Insisted on hosting 'us kids' for the meals.

471 Hubby isn't a bad dude. He is sorry that he was a jerk about Christmas for twenty-something years.

But I'm still giving away most of the decorations.

Thats why I really didn't come down hard on him. My mother loved christmas. She was a serious arts and crafts person. I mean a total artist. She was wicked with a sewing machine too. She made really nice decorations I can't even describe. Dolls, like animals dressed as christmas characters from a frigging disney movie. Between her ability and my fathers wood working background they made nice stuff. My father built a few small Santas sleds one year, and mom hand painted and decorated them. I don;t mean hit a roller and done, I mean hand drawn decorations, painted in gold accents, etc. I have one. I think when she died it just took the wind out of dad's sails.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 20, 2025 03:20 AM (snZF9)

480 Brrr, it's frosty outside tonight! Of course, because the pellet heater shut itself off this afternoon while I was out doing stuff!

No problem, I've had the feed rate set to the lowest it'll go, without (hopefully!) the fire going out. The next level would be too much for current temperatures.

Possibly the pellets 'bridged' in the hopper and skipped feeding long enough for it to burn out.

All's working correctly now, but house is still cool.

Inside a squirrel's nest. I mean a hole in a tree, not those nasty things they build.

Okay, now I understand that these "if you're left brained you see an X, if you're right brained you see a Y" memes are clickbait. No one sees X or Y. Everyone sees Z, the thing that it obviously is. There is no one who doesn't immediately recognize this silhouette and it's not a f***ing turtle or rabbit, I can tell you that.

And here's another one.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... we can't get fooled again!

No wonder we all saw a cow. I feel very dumb. And I apologize for the Fake News.

Teacher creates a cult for her students with herself as the Cult Leader.

Something something from that Lion King movie. Based on the videos I see, meerkats spend all day hanging out with warthogs. Nothing to see here.

Art with frost.

Polite dogs wait for their slow friend to come to dinner.

Handsome cow.

Steampunk decapitation device.

Oh, to have one tenth of the joy and rizz of this dog.

Rabbit trembles at having his nails cut. Animals just hate this.

Leopard's skills at stalking from a reclining position are unmatched.

Playing with your cat.

So you like worms, Olivia?

All beings love a slide.

Caretaker runs with his elephants. Looks fun, and also, very dangerous. You have to have a lot of faith in the agility of elephants.

We had a young squirrel venture onto our back porch this morning. Ony, the old black cat, was lounging on a couch, jumped down, and chased him outside and across the fenced-in back yard. I wouldn't like to think about her getting into a real fight with an adult tree rat, but she put the fear of cat into that young'n. It got away, which is good, so it can tell all its friends to stay out of our house; there be monsters! 🙀

We are hosting an event for Governor Mills at our home this Friday, November 21 from 5:30-7:00pm.

We hope that this will not inconvenience any of you and appreciate your understanding.

There's a complete break the last two weeks of the year. Otherwise you can go somewhere every weekend. May not be close by, but with so many clubs, so few weekends and the rule that shows the same date have to be 200 miles apart, the calendar is full.

160 Hardtack is a unleavened bread that is mostly flour, water and salt, rolled out about a 1/2" thick and then baked twice to drive out all the moisture and make it shelf stable.
If stored well, it will last 50 years and be as tasty at the half century as it was the day it cooled from the oven.

It's what they do. They make an issue the only thing in the world that matters! until they've milked it dry and then move on to the next issue that's the only thing in the world that matters!

They have a big advantage because the media never holds them to account but their game is getting tired.

A fire on the hearth all tucked inside maybe try an "English Flip"

An English flip is a traditional cocktail that originated in the late 17th century, primarily served in taverns. It is made from a mixture of beer, rum, sugar, and eggs, often heated with a hot iron poker to create a frothy texture. The drink is typically garnished with grated nutmeg and can be served hot or cold, depending on the recipe or the outside temperature,

James Comer: I'll Give Bill and Hillary Clinton the Steve Bannon Treatment -- Prosecution Then Prison -- If They Continue to Refuse to Testify

If only, if only.

We'll see. We certainly have adequate justification and adequate provocation given that Biden sent Steven Bannon and Peter Navarro to prison for refusing to testify before the J6 illegal committee.

The Clintons are demanded to testify about a matter the Democrats claim must be fully exposed and aired out, the Epstein Pedophile ring.

So what excuse can they offer the Clintons for refusing to tell us what they know?

Just The News:

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Tuesday said he would give former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the same treatment Democrats gave Steve Bannon if they do not comply with congressional subpoenas to testify on their alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
House Democrats referred Bannon for prosecution after he failed to comply with a House January 6 subcommittee subpoena. He was later convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress and sentenced to four months in prison in 2022.
Comer said the Clintons are two Democrats that his committee has not heard back from regarding subpoenas for their testimony on their ties to Epstein, and that continued silence will be met with criminal referrals.
"We expect to hear from Bill and Hillary Clinton," Comer said on the "Just The News, No Noise" TV show. "Donald Trump answered questions for years about Jeffrey Epstein. Every day he gets asked questions about Epstein, and he answers them in front of the American people. We've subpoenaed Republicans and Democrats.
"Other Democrats have sent letters saying they knew nothing about Epstein, which would hold in court if something ever comes out that they did know something, then they've committed perjury there," he continued. "But the Clintons have never responded. They're the one group in this investigation that's never had to answer questions in front of a credible reporter, and they've never certainly answered questions from attorneys or members of Congress.
"So we expect the Clintons to come in, or I expect the Clintons to be met with the same fate that Bannon and [Peter] Navarro were met with when the Democrats were in control," he concluded.
Comer also noted that other Democrats have not helped bring the Clintons in to testify because they are too focused on trying to criminally connect Trump to Epstein.

According to Grok, that power still exists. It's called "Inherent contempt". The current regime they always use is a statutory one. Congress made it a crime as well as civil violations.

But Inherent Contempt still exists, and the Court ruled it is inherent to Article I power. In order to function, Congress must have this power, "necessary and proper". Ie, suppose Congress subpoenas somebody. And say the Executive is against then and refuses to enforce that via the statue. Congress must have what amounts to executive arrest power on its own.

And, there is not much judicial review, other than violation of constitutional rights. The decision of what is contempt belongs to Congress alone. The court doesn't get to review that call.

The Atlanta Fed came out today with a projection of 4.2 GDP in Q3. They projected inflation at 2.2 next year. Prices on many things like food and gas is down and most of the stuff in the BBB doesn't even kick in until next year.

Mamdani won in NYC because he dominated with foreign born voters and because Cuomo sucks and even Democrats hate him. NYC has always been unaffordable and almost always run by Democrats.

It's going to get worse. My wife volunteers at two food pantries and the food supply has literally dried up. They are getting less than half of what they did just six months ago while the lines are getting longer.

It's a perfect storm and the democrats planned this and will take back the house and the senate next year because of it. They play the long game while republicans are just playing games like trying to indict hillary clinton in washington DC.

You really think firing Powell will lead to a rate cut in Dec?

And if it is known by all Powell is effing things up, that sentiment is already there.

141 Further, according to Grok, this inherent contempt has not been fully tested against Executive privilege claims.

Every DOJ has claimed it is unconstitutional, a violation of separation of powers (for valid executive privilege assertions), but the boundaries of that has never been decided.

The last time this was used was in 1934, and maybe 1935. Each house, House and Senate has this power on its own. That is, each chamber can invoke it on its own.

Why do so many think everything should have changed because Trump won an election when the corruption had taken years to build against us? It was always going to take years to rebuild and the globalist, leftwing forces weren't going to give up because Donny 2 Scoops won an election.

The economy is beginning to heal. As I just said the Atlanta Fed pegs Q3 GDP at 4.2 and inflation next year at basically 2% which is no inflation. We are finally getting illegals out of the country.

Two Partisan Hacks Ignored Supreme Court Precedent to Claim the Texas Redistricting Map Was Illegal.
Judge Smith Dissents

And what a dissent.

Jerry E. Smith, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night!"
I dissent from the entirety of Judge Brown's opinion granting a
preliminary injunction.
* * * * *
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
I append this Preliminary Statement to dispel any suspicion that I'm
responsible for any delay in issuing the preliminary injunction or that I am or saw
slow-walking the ruling. I also need to highlight the pernicious judicial
misbehavior of U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown.

In my 37 years on the federal bench, this is the most outrageous conduct
by a judge that I have ever encountered in a case in which I have been involved.
In summary, Judge Brown has issued a 160-page opinion without giving
me any reasonable opportunity to respond. I will set forth the details. The
readers can judge for themselves.
This three-judge district court held a nine-day evidentiary hearing/trial
on the motion for preliminary injunction. That hearing was concluded Friday
October 10. The judges immediately retired to confer. Judges Brown and
Guaderrama voted to grant the preliminary injunction. I voted to deny. It was
understood that the majority judges would begin putting together an opinion.
During the next 26 days, there was silence--nary a word from either
judge.
On Wednesday November 5, Judge Brown sent me a 13-page outline of
the expected majority opinion "so that you and your chambers might be able to
begin preparing your dissenting opinion."
Nothing else for a week.
On Wednesday November 12, Judge Brown sent a message stating, "We
currently anticipate issuing our injunction on Saturday, November 15. We will
endeavor to get you a draft before we issue it. Sadly, we do not believe we can
wait for a dissenting opinion before we rule--the fuse is simply too short in light
of Purcell. We will, however, note on the opinion that you are dissenting. We are
not trying to cut you out, we just don't have the time. Ideally, of course, we'd
have liked to have seen your dissent before we issue our opinion, but that will
also be impossible."

So, in other words: They withheld their corrupt and lawless decision from him so that he couldn't construct a dissent, and then rushed out the ruling claiming there was suddenly a big hurry that would not permit him to review it.

Yes, you heard it right. To summarize, in case the reader doesn't get the
point: Judge Brown was announcing that he would issue an opinion three days
later--an opinion that I hadn't even seen and might not be furnished before its
issuance. That is unthinkable, but it occurred--and not accidentally.

I'm omitting further details about this game of hide-the-salami the other judges played with the dissenting judge. See the actual dissent for those details. I want to get to the forest without seeing each stalk of bamboo one-by-one.

This outrage speaks for itself. Any pretense of judicial restraint, good
faith, or trust by these two judges is gone. If these judges were so sure of their
result, they would not have been so unfairly eager to issue the opinion sans my
dissent, or they could have waited for the dissent in order to join issue with it.
What indeed are they afraid of?
Judges on multi-judge courts understand how important is the
deliberative process to fair and accurate judicial decisionmaking. As I say later
in this dissent, judges get paid to disagree as well as to find common ground.
Judges in the majority don't get to tell a dissenting judge or judges that they can't
participate. If the two judges on this panel get away with what they have done,
it sets a horrendous precedent that "might makes right" and the end justifies the
means.
...
When I was a newer on the bench, a friend asked me, "Now that you've
been a judge for a few years, do you have any particular advice?" I replied,
"Always sit with your back to the wall."

Now Judge Smith names names -- specifically, George and Alexander Soros, who are funding this lawsuit and many other lawsuits challenging Republican redistricting.

The main winners from Judge Brown's opinion are George Soros and
Gavin Newsom. The obvious losers are the People of Texas and the Rule of Law.
I dissent.
..
The resulting dissent is far from a literary masterpiece. If, however, there
were a Nobel Prize for Fiction, Judge Brown's opinion would be a prime
candidate.
Judge Brown could have saved himself and the readers a lot of time and
effort by merely stating the following:

I just don't like what the Legislature did here. It was
unnecessary, and it seems unfair to disadvantaged voters. I need
to step in to make sure wiser heads prevail over the nakedly
partisan and racially questionable actions of these zealous
lawmakers. Just as I did to the lawmakers in Galveston County in
Petteway, I'm using my considerable clout as a federal district
judge to put a stop to bad policy judgments. After all, I get paid to
do what I think is right.

In 37 years as a federal judge, I've served on hundreds of three-judge
panels. This is the most blatant exercise of judicial activism that I have ever
witnessed.

There's the old joke: What's the difference between God and a federal
district judge? Answer: God doesn't think he's a federal judge. Or a different
version of that joke: An angel rushes to the head of the Heavenly Host and says,
"We have a problem. God has delusions of grandeur." The head angel calmly
replies, "What makes you say that?" The first angel whispers, "He's wearing
his robe and keeps imagining he's a federal judge."
Only this time, it isn't funny.

I'm omitting another long passage, in which Smith establishes that Judge Brown loves claiming that any Republican redistricting efforts are necessarily racist, and they all must therefore be stopped.

Smith previously dissented in another case of leftwing judges invalidating legislators' redistricting decisions, and the reviewing court found that he was right and the leftwing judges were wrong.

Speaking of fortune: Just a few weeks ago, the Fifth Circuit answered the
main question at hand, holding that "[t]he most obvious reason for mid-cycle
redistricting, of course, is partisan gain.3 The question for this three-judge
district panel is whether the Texas Legislature did its mid-decade congressional
redistricting to gain political advantage or, instead, because the main goal of
Texas's Republican legislators is to slash the voting rights of persons of color.
Once again, here we go again: Criticizing the behavior of DOJ lawyers in
last decade's redistricting battle, I noted the following:

It was obvious, from the start, that the DoJ attorneys viewed
state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a
bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of
the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings.
And the DoJ lawyers saw themselves as an expeditionary landing
party arriving here, just in time, to rescue the state from
oppression . . . . The [DoJ] moreover views Texas redistricting
litigation as the potential grand prize and lusts for the day when it
can reimpose preclearance via Section 3(c).[4]

"Preclearance" is the old regime in which southern states -- states of the former Confederacy -- could not change their election laws at all without prior approval -- "pre-clearance" -- from the federal government. This regime was finally ended about ten years ago-- but leftwing judges are trying to bring it back through the back door.

...
Because the "obvious reason" for the 2025 redistricting "of course, is
partisan gain," Judge Brown commits grave error in concluding that the Texas
Legislature is more bigoted than political.
...

It's all politics, on both sides of the partisan aisle. George and Alex Soros
have their hands all over this.
One of the plaintiffs' top experts is Matt Barreto. He is a paid Soros
operative and does not attempt to hide it. His CV confirms it. He expects to
receive $2.5 million6 from George and Alexander Soros. Nor is this something
new. Soros has been pumping money into Barreto's UCLA Voting Rights
Project for years.8 And this steady supply of money won't stop until 2026, at the
earliest. Unsurprisingly, Barreto has been on quite a road show for years,
parading across the country opposing Republican redistricting.
That is the tip of the iceberg. The lawyers are involved as well.
...

To his credit, the lead counsel for plaintiffs does not try to hide it, either.
Chad Dunn acknowledged so in open court--he works with Barreto at the same
Voting Rights Project11 that receives Soros funding. Dunn is a respected attorney
in Texas election law cases, most recently serving as counsel in the Jackson
case,12 in which the Fifth Circuit squarely declared the political nature of mid-
decade redistricting. Mr. Dunn, along with his Voting Rights Project colleague
Sonni Waknin, also represented the plaintiffs before Judge Brown in the Petteway
case, which was overturned by the en banc Fifth Circuit.
Mark Gaber also appeared in Petteway and Jackson. He is the Senior
Redistricting Director at Campaign Legal Center, a Soros-funded group.
It does not stop there. The Elias Law Group draws from the Soros
coffers, too. Counsel for the instant Gonzales plaintiffs, David Fox, is a partner
at Elias, which "has collected more than $104 million" from Democrat Party
committees and donors, including Mr. Soros.15 Firm Chair Marc Elias formed
entities, "tucked inside large existing nonprofits," that "raised tens of millions
of dollars from some of the richest donors on the left--including from
foundations funded by Mr. Soros."
On a silver platter, Judge Brown hands Soros a victory at the expense of
the People of Texas and the Rule of Law. Judge Brown won't tell you that. I
just did.
Relatedly, Gavin Newsom took a victory lap in Houston to celebrate the
Democrat redistricting win with Proposition 50.19 Indeed, he did so "on rival
Gov. Greg Abbott's home turf Saturday and called on other blue states to push
back on a GOP effort to retain control of the U.S. House." And after the
improperly premature issuance of Judge Brown's opinion, the Houston Chronicle
pointed out that Governor Newsom quickly tweeted, "Donald Trump and Greg
Abbott played with fire, got burned -- and democracy won . . . This ruling is a
win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections."21
That tells you all that you need to know--this is about partisan politics,
plain and simple.
...
Regardless of one's political slant, it's obvious what Texas is trying to do in 2025. The Republicans' national margin in the House of Representatives is LULAC
so slim that squeezing out a majority might even depend, day-to-day, on whether
some seats are vacant because of deaths or resignations.
In 2021, the Texas Legislature, with both houses controlled by
Republicans, devised a strategy of creating safe seats for both Republicans and
Democrats, but with a decided majority of the state's delegation still Republican.
Whether (as a matter of political clout) that was the wisest strategy is disputed
and indeed was fulsomely debated in 2021.
In mid-2025, the strategy changed: The new plan was to make more seats
winnable for Republicans by moving some Democrats incumbents from their
districts and rendering other districts unwinnable by Democrats. That sacrificed
the wider margins in some of the old districts. The tradeoff is obvious.
There is some speculation that this new strategy will backfire on
Republicans in 2026 because, if they do poorly in the mid-terms, the new
Republican seats created in 2025 will be a Pyrrhic victory, because they will lose
elections in the closer districts. That is purely a matter of political strategy that
federal judges have no business touching.

Apparently, the plaintiffs -- funded by George Soros -- argued that creating fewer but safer Republican seats, as they did in 2021, is obviously the correct political choice for Republicans, so that now that they've decided to go for the incorrect choice -- more seats, but each less defensible -- it can be for no other reason than RACISM.

Not changing political fortunes or strategies. No, it must be Racism. There is no other explanation.

The challenge faced by these plaintiffs The challenge faced by these plaintiffs and Judge Brown is to explain how
it could be that the Republicans would sacrifice their stated goal of political gain
for racial considerations. It makes no sense to advance the notion that the
Republican Legislature would draw districts for the purpose of disadvantaging
racial and ethnic minorities if, by doing so, they lessen the number of new
Republican seats they might gain.
The plaintiffs' theory is both perverse and bizarre. They actually
contend that if the Republicans are sincere about gaining more seats, they could
have drawn not five, but six, seven, or eight additional seats and that the reason
they did not is that the real reason is racial animus. The absurdity of that notion
speaks for itself. Yet it's all that the plaintiffs and Judge Brown have to offer to
defeat the State's claim that the 2025 lines were drawn for the sake of politics
and not race.

Smith now points out that the Supreme Court seems likely to blow up the whole idea that minorities get special protection in redistricting -- but rather than wait for that coming ruling, the liberals rush to get last licks in.

Judge Brown rushes to issue this injunction before the tension between
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and racial-gerrymandering jurisprudence is
resolved by the Supreme Court in the currently-pending Callais case. Given
Judge Brown's creative read of the facts and novel approach to the law, he should
have considered denying this injunction for that reason alone, recognizing that a
fundamental shift in voting-rights jurisprudence is not unlikely. Because the
power to stay proceedings "is incidental to the power inherent in every court to
control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and
effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants," it would have been well within the
authority of this three-judge court.
The fact that Callais may fundamentally change the nature of this case
also weighs in favor of a stay. It is reckless for this court to proceed with opining
on the merits, which amounts to nothing more than a general guess as to whether
existing voting-rights jurisprudence will survive Callais.
* * * * *
Judge Brown has a lingering habit. He correctly recites part of a legal
principle, then veers off track along a spectrum--intentionally misleading at best
to false at worst. The opinion is replete with selectively copying and pasting parts
of legal rules or standards. Beyond that, things get dicey.
This holds especially for Judge Brown's discussion of the standard for
preliminary injunctions.

He points out that Brown first correctly states the first criterion for an injunction -- a "substantial likelihood of success on the merits" (after a full trial)-- but then immediately omits the "substantial" part and just rules that the Soros plaintiffs are merely likely to win.

A modifier like "substantial" is meant to limit injunctions to only cases where the outcome is barely arguable, and the ultimate ruling mostly fore-ordained.

Instead, Brown just says he thinks one side will probably win and boom, there's your injunction.

...
He should give less consideration to the omission and more consideration
to the actual words on the page. Judge Brown accurately cuts and pastes the
following: A preliminary injunction is "an extraordinary and drastic remedy
which should not be granted unless the movant clearly carries the burden of
persuasion," and the likelihood of success on the merits is "the most important"
factor of the framework.
But the cut-and-paste job is selective. Judge Brown left out the fact that,
giving attention to the relevant cases cited in Jackson, "the most important" factor
language in Jackson27 is a direct quote from Mock v. Garland.28 And any cursory
reading of Mock easily reveals that the word "substantial"29 (the word Judge
Brown tries to avoid) is part of the first factor in no uncertain terms: "a
substantial likelihood of success on the merits."
Judge Brown doesn't tell you that. I just did.
The opinion is caught in an illogical straitjacket from which it cannot
escape.
...
This is intentionally misleading at best, disingenuously false at worst.
There he goes again.

...
If this is not judicial activism, I am not sure what would be.
...

If this were a law school exam, the opinion would deserve an "F."
Remember that recent Fifth Circuit redistricting case, the one that Judge
Brown said was procedurally and factually analogous to the instant one. Judge
Brown conveniently omits the key sentence in that mid-decade redistricting
case: The "most obvious reason for mid-cycle redistricting, of course, is partisan
gain." Judge Brown doesn't even pretend to grapple with Justice Stevens's
relevant quote. It is far from a mere coincidence that the opinion goes to the
mats over the omission of one word, when it suits the results-driven outcome,
but overlooks the most significant sentence about the most obvious reason for
mid-decade redistricting, which is partisan gain.
The combined weight of the procedural and substantive law is against
what these plaintiffs and Judge Brown are trying to do. Not only do plaintiffs
have to show clearly that they are entitled to the drastic and extraordinary remedy
of an injunction, but they must also do so when Supreme Court and Fifth Circuit
precedent is stacked against them. Nothing in any bag of results-oriented tricks
can save that wished-for result.
Judge Brown is an unskilled magician. The audience knows what is
coming next.

...
This panel decides both law and fact. The salient issue of fact is whether
the Legislature drew the new lines on account of race. The answer is easy: It
did not. And that question is not even close.
Did I forget to mention: "The most obvious reason for mid-cycle
redistricting, of course, is partisan gain."

He notes the testimony of the man who used statistical analysis to redraw the maps -- and his testimony is that the maps are based on R vs. D partisan analysis, not race.

Judge Brown ignores all of this to find the "fact" that the maps are based on race.

This order, replete with legal and factual error, and accompanied by
naked procedural abuse, demands reversal.
* * * * *
Darkness descends on the Rule of Law. A bumpy night, indeed.

My take? Judge Smith's argument is sturdy and strong, built from the tallest, straightest bamboo.

The fire in this dissent, and the revelation that the other judges are naked partisans who never find a Republican election move they can't overrule, gives me some hope that the Supreme Court will stay this lawless injunction -- again -- and deal the Soroses a well-deserved loss.

Jeff Smith. Buddy in High School. Smart guy. Was ROTC, but went straight to boot camp after graduation. Worked with his sister at McDonald's. She smoked weird. She hated smoke in her face, so she would hold the cigarette at arms length when she was not puffing on it.

This suggestion appears often, but it would be gamed just like they're already gaming us. It would make appeals panels and the Supremes even LESS likely to slap down a ruling because they'd want to "protect their own" from loss of livelyhood.

The only real solution is an honorable Congress ready to do their job and impeach judges that are determined to ignore the law. But we saw last night (as just one example) that Congress critters would rather "swap prisoners" (Plaskett swapped for Cory Mills) rather than hold BOTH accountable for their actions.

76 He meant to write "I am or WAS slow-walking the ruling" not "saw slow-walking the ruling." I read a lot of federal court decisions. This kind of error is very rare. They have full time clerks to review and triple check everything. You know part of his emotion was that these other judges kept him in the dark and then sprung this on him denying him time to write a professionally drafted decision.

You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden, you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather; and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head!

[Boris Yeltsin's ] grandfather, Ignati Yeltsin, was a legendarily, mean, tough character in the area. And through hard labor his whole life and being a bit of a disciplinarian when it came to farm labor, he eventually acquired a horse and a mill on his property. And as a result, they had to be liquidated during Dekulakization. He became a kulak. If you look in western definitions of that, these are rich peasant farmers, the Encyclopedia Britannica talks about how they were even so wealthy that they sometimes gave out mortgages. No, this guy just had a horse basically. So he gets sent off. He dies in transit, Ignati, during this time period.

But I asked some of the old timers who were still in the region to talk about that time period. There were a lot of people who were sons and daughters of people who remembered. And one of the things that they did at that time period is that they didn’t even want to waste money on bullets for the kulaks. So what they would do is just declare you a kulak, continued

And there were millions of people who met ends like this. And that’s just the beginning of the shit they did. ... Then, eventually, they get to peasants who have a horse . And that is what happened when you have a bunch of intellectuals running a revolution in the name of a working class.’

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows the president to detain or deport citizens of enemy nations during wartime. It was enacted to prevent foreign espionage and has been invoked during major conflicts, including World War I and World War II.
Brennan Center for Justice nafsa.org

Overview of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798
The Alien Enemies Act, officially known as "An Act Respecting Alien Enemies," was enacted on July 6, 1798, as part of the Alien and Sedition Acts. This law grants the President of the United States the authority to detain or deport foreign nationals from countries that are considered enemies during times of war or when there is a threat of invasion.

They said that you don't have to obey an illegal order. They, further, said that you were, in fact, required to disobey illegal orders.

Both of these statements are true, correct, and in keeping with military law.

They went on to say that they'd have your back if you obeyed the UCMJ which was a meaningless bit of nothing.

They loved the USSR. They loved Red China. They love all manners of murderous tyrannical regimes, as long as they're targeting their enemies. They want a state that will send its political opponents to the camps, or worse. They deify men like Che Guevara who was an essentially a gay-hating serial killer, but he was hip and Communist. So yeah they want a militarized state as long as it's THEIR militarized state.

208 just declare you a kulak, you and your family, and then there would be a proclamation that it would be illegal for anybody in the area to give shelter to that person and his family and his kids. So for years on end, people went to bed at night to the sound of people freezing to death, kids screaming at night in the Soviet Union, because that’s how they liquidated the kulak class.

And there were millions of people who met ends like this. And that’s just the beginning of the shit they did. ... Then, eventually, they get to peasants who have a horse . And that is what happened when you have a bunch of intellectuals running a revolution in the name of a working class.’

They also took all of the harvest from Ukraine then. Not 'all the export harvest' but all of it - grain for the farmers, their families, and next year's seed corn. So they starved. A reporter went to one family some years later and saw three children. When he asked about how they got through the mother took him around to a plot where there were three graves of other children.

210 And unaddressed is the actual result of several years of various legal schemes to make sure people of certain skin colors can win seats and form dynasties. In CA the cities that are dominated by "minorities" of the same skin color as most of their constituents have terrible records of crime, graft, and neglect. So they are more alike than different from the previous city councils that were supposedly oppressing the minority. So why are we doing this again? Just like affirmative action, it's become a grift.

218 Judge Smith wrote, "Likewise, the minimal wiggle-room in Texas’s statutorily mandated elections process means that Texas is faced with an impossible dilemma should this injunction go through, extend the filing deadline for candidates threatening the integrity of their ballot preparation process or keep the original deadline and disadvantage or outright bar cash-poor political candidates across the state from qualifying as congressional candidates."

This, it seems is the crux of why Judge Brown dragged out issuing the preliminary injunction: to make sure that additional Texas Republicans will never make it the House in the upcoming mid-term elections thus increasing the chances that the House flips to the Democrats. Plus Judge Brown must have had a wide eyed understanding of California's efforts to redistrict Republican election chances out of existence.

All this goes to prove that the Texas redistricting was done for partisan reasons even if the actor here was a judge with Stage 4 TDS with a singular goal of gutting Trump's presidency.

222 They said that you don't have to obey an illegal order. They, further, said that you were, in fact, required to disobey illegal orders.

Both of these statements are true, correct, and in keeping with military law.

They went on to say that they'd have your back if you obeyed the UCMJ which was a meaningless bit of nothing.

And, as far as I can tell, the biggest outcome of this is a bunch of internet commenters soiling themselves over it. As they intended.

Nope. The way it's being presented is if a soldier thinks/feels like the order is illegal, he doesn't have to obey. The language they use is intentional to stir up turbulence within the ranks.

Olivia Nuzzi's Got a Fuzzi and She Wants All the World to See It

Olivia Nuzzi is -- then was -- and now is again a fantastically overpromoted "journalist."

I first noticed her suddenly appearing everywhere in media about six or eight years ago. I didn't understand why she was suddenly ubiquitous, as she had broken no major stories. She did cover... Anthony Weiner's mayoral campaign, and got the pretty minor scoop that his campaign manager had quit after he lied to her, I think probably about the affair that was revealed during that campaign.

But that's not really enough to make a media star, is it? She seemed to be yet another "on author" attitudinal writer, mostly writing slightly-disguised opinion pieces in which the primary point of view was her own and the primary subject was always herself.

She was Wonkette with a more aggressive agent.

She recently had a fall from grace -- a brief and shallow fall from grace -- when her former fiance, the damp liberal cuckold Ryan Lizza, revealed that she had been having a torrid "digital affair" -- which is a nice way of saying "sexting and dirty pictures with mutual masturbation" -- with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while writing a piece about him. And, liberals spat: as she was writing unfavorably about his then-opponent, Joe Biden.

The left hissed that this breached journalistic ethics but may I ask: what journalistic ethics? What the fuck are you even talking about?

Yes, she had a conflict of interest in that she had an emotional attachment to the subject she was writing about and therefore a bias against his political rivals.

Which she did not disclose.

This is true of the entire media, which has been having an equally torrid "digital affair" (and often, a physical one) with the Democrat Party for decades.

Yes, Olivia Nuzzi should have disclosed that she was unable to evaluate RFKJr. objectively.

And so should "former" Democrat aide and Gun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper declare that he, too, in unable to cover the object of his passionate affections with the level of objectivity the media used to pretend to require.

Anyway. Olivia Nuzzi's back in the news. She served the briefest exile from "journalism" -- I think she was fired and exiled from "journalism" for, what, a year? -- and is now hired again to be celebrity gossip sheet and reactionary liberal rag Vanity Fair's west coast editor.

She also sat for an "interview" with the New York Times as public relations for her return to "journalism."

And she's written a book, which I assume is mostly about her adventures in celebrity dick-riding.

Vanity Fair excerpted it. Here, she deploys all her Airport Thriller skill as a novelist, by which I mean she can't write worth a f**, to wax eloquently about... the worm that died in RFKJr.'s head, and how she learned to hate that worm and love that worm.

Later, when the affair turns cold and RFKJr. seems uninterested, she complains:

Okay, that one is not real, that one is a parody of Nuzzi's breathlessly-indiscreet style by a guy calling himself "Magilla." But I chuckled when I read that and I have to admit it took me in. I wanted you to have that same pleasure.

And given Nuzzi's actual writing, can you really blame me for falling for it?

Her former fiance, Ryan Lizza, himself an overpromoted left-wing "journalist" but nearly to the extent of his almost-wife, was a cuck before he was actually a cuckold. To fire back at Nuzzi, and maybe to anticipate nasty things she has to say about him (she has accused him of "hacking" her email and stalking her), Lizza has just dropped another piece about his former bed-partner, and it's... well it's something.

I don't know if I really appreciate this vengeance-by-online-trashing kind of article, but I can't say he doesn't reveal a few things about Olivia Nuzzi, and answer questions I had, like "How did this low-talent nothing who looks like Faye Dunaway -- and when I say that understand that I do not find Faye Dunaway actually attractive, just... "strking" -- suddenly become the It Girl of the leftwing media?"

The answer may surprise you.

Or, if you've followed the career of MSNBC's -- excuse me, MS NOW's -- Katie Tur, it might not surprise you all that much.

Lizza begins with some bad attempts to sound like a trash novelist. In this, he's competing with Olivia Nuzzi herself, who's also now attempting to sound like a bad trash novelist. They're competing to see who can get Harold Robbins to roll over in his grave the most vigorously.

Olivia had just returned from a reporting trip--at least that's what she told me it was--and her Herschel backpack, the one with the flap that never quite closed properly, was tossed beside our bed, its contents scattered on the floor.
That's when I noticed the sheets of Kimpton Hotel stationery that would alter the course of our lives.
It is surreal now to think back to that room, the one overlooking the courtyard garden that became a metaphor for our decade-long entanglement. It was dazzling during spring's full bloom and foreboding when winter stripped all signs of life. And lurking underground, way in the back, was the invasive bamboo, which grows like a cancer, and if not tamed, would march through the entire courtyard and kill everything.

Your metaphors are strained and gay. And how did we move from deciduous trees to bamboo? Pick an arboreal lane, Sir.

I spent hours hacking at the sprouts to keep the bamboo at bay, just as I had with all the secrets that Olivia and I shared.

Any chance we're going to get off the bamboo metaphor any time soon?

I tried to poison the roots, cut off the supply of water and nutrients, and repair the underground wall meant to halt their advance. I should have known that it was futile and that, at some point, the bamboo would take over the garden, and that's all anyone would see.

Okay, so this is what we're doing now. This is about bamboo now.

This is a story of bamboo.

I can still picture the hotel paper and reporting notepads spilling into the walk-in closet, where a year earlier I had spent an afternoon on my knees carefully arranging scores of her boots, high heels, sneakers, and slippers on an enormous shoe rack.
Olivia almost cried when she saw the results. "Nobody has ever done anything like that for me," she said.
It is tempting now to forget those moments, to see it as a lost decade, and to cast her as a cartoon villain. After all, she deceived me for a year and smeared me with false allegations. And not just little lies but big fantastical falsehoods-- blackmail!, (A former child actor, Olivia always had a keen sense for the dramatic.) She orchestrated a plot with the help of a senior Trump official to try to have me imprisoned, and now she's written what appears to be a largely fictitious and self-serving account about it all.
So, yes, I have reason to be annoyed, maybe even a little angry.

She was a former child actor? I don't see anything about that on IMDB, except for an appearance on Billions, which I assume was one of those grating journalist-appears-as-herself things.

Wikipedia does offer this:

In 2010, Nuzzi, as "Livvy," released a song titled "Jailbait," as part of an attempt to launch a music career.

Jailbait? That's going to be very relevant soon.

Some math tells me that Nuzzi, born in 1993, would be 17 or 18 when she recorded "Jailbait" as "Livvy."

Maybe she did her child acting work under a different name, and wants to keep that out of the press. Maybe Lizza will tells us more about it in future reports. (This is Part 1.)

Enough about Lizza's style. Here's his first dirt-drop, the first actually interesting facts he has to disclose.

But first: More fucking bamboo.

Amor fati, the Stoics advised--love your fate. I have admired that sentiment more than I have practiced it, but that's the spirit that will guide this series of posts. You have one life, so find beauty and humor and wisdom even in the seemingly darkest and most embarrassing chapters.
Besides, like bamboo, the truth has a way of forcing itself out into the open. And in this case, the true story is more bizarre, and ultimately more illuminating about politics and media and love, than anything I've ever covered, let alone experienced.

Do we have all that out of our systems now?

I just got an email:

I'm RIVETED.
Signed,
A panda

Okay, on to the actual dirt.

Remember when I said "Jailbait" would soon be important?

I wasn't just saying that. I wasn't just providing roughage and filler to this post without providing real nourishment. I was offering a scaffolding to the next disclosure.

Like stalks of bamboo, perhaps. (The panda told me to work that in.)

[I] was used to cleaning up Olivia's messes.
Not that long ago, I had helped her untangle herself from an unusual relationship with Keith Olbermann, the former MSNBC host.

What? This is an Olbermann story now?

The twists! The turns!

Keith is tall and plain and rigid and quivers in the wind.

Like, say, bamboo.

She had messaged him out of the blue. They started talking, and soon after, she fled her unhappy home in suburban New Jersey and started living with Keith in Manhattan. He paid for her to attend college, outfitted her in Tom Ford and Hervé Léger dresses and some $15,000 worth of Cartier jewelry.

She started living with him just out of college?

When she was 17 or 18?

When she was recording "Jailbait"?

This Keith Olbermann, huh?

Later, he covered her rent and furnished her apartment in a doorman building in the West Village. While Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous, there were strings attached.

What do you call it when an older man pays the rent for a much, much younger college student and expects "strings" in return?

I guess you could call it a Sugarbaby/Money-Daddy situation.

You can also call it a kissing cousin of de facto prostitution.

Olbermann himself brags that he did most of Katie Tur's work for her -- he claims he wrote her articles and edited them into a comprehensible state. So he seems to often providing money or service in kind for his much-younger SugarBabies.

Olivia had concealed the relationship from me and other friends...

This sounds like prostitution.

On the other hand, I can't blame her. Who wants a sexual relationship with Keith "This is the finger I write my Special Comments with?" Olbermann publicly known?

And if you're not a long-enough reader to get that -- a long time ago, one of his fans wrote a blog-post about him having taken her to a hotel to have sex with her. After he... digitally pleasured her, and this time I don't mean by use of a computer, he triumphantly held up his finger and boasted, "This is the finger I write my Special Comments with!"

Allegedly.

But who are we kidding?

...but one day she told me everything--too much, actually--and together we hatched a plan for her escape.

To escape the Olbermann-fronted apartment, they built a long but sturdy ladder out of ten stalks of bamboo.

Or at least, I like to imagine that's what they did. I have a feeling it was more boring than that. I would guess that Lizza had to front money to pay for her new, non-Olbermann-fronted apartment. He doesn't confirm that but I'm seeing a pattern with this Nuzzi woman. She climbs and advances chiefly on her back.

Now I will give away the main interesting fact divulged by this article. This is a spoiler, because, while Lizza's actual style is dogshit, he does in fact structure this vengeance piece to have a payoff and punchline.

So you can read it now if you like. Otherwise, I'm going to ruin it for you.

Throughout the article he leads you to believe that when he speaks of Nuzzi's return from the Kimpton Hotel, he's about to talk about his realization that she had an affair with RFKJr. Let me credit him, he builds to this well. He crafts a fine, sturdy structure of bamboo held together firmly by strips of bamboo-skin, flattened and scraped-out to serve as fine ligatures.

No but really, he keeps talking about Nuzzi's penchant for older men, for older male political men, and particularly for older male politicians with presidential ambitions. He talks about her having indiscreet relations with sources she's writing about.

And then you think, ah, the final piece of the bamboo puzzle. He's about to discover her affair with RFKJr.

As he approaches that, we get this, Ryan Lizza's bad writing framing Olivia Nuzzi's bad writing:

But one mess at a time. As I tidied up the desk, something on the Kimpton stationery caught my eye. I started to read.
"If I swallowed every drop of water from the tower above your house," Olivia had written, "I would still thirst for you."
Unfortunately, the lack of a water tower on our Georgetown home's roof ruled me out as the note's intended recipient.

But it's not RJKJR. That comes in later part.

This part is about him discovering, in 2020, after she traveled to South Carolina to "interview" another politician involved in a sex scandal, that she apparently had an affair with...

(...last chance to read it before the spoiler...)

She later explained to me that she became "infatuated" with him after their interview, that she couldn't get him out of her head, and that as her obsession intensified, she sent him increasingly risqué pictures and texts, secretly followed him on the campaign trail when she told me she was out covering other candidates, and fantasized about a rendezvous, which was consummated at his home in South Carolina one night after she went dark on me and made up a story about how she was dealing with a crisis concerning her sick mother.
I was sure our relationship was over. And certainly our book project was dead. She had crossed a journalistic red line. How could we write a book about the presidential campaign if Olivia had a sexual relationship with one of the candidates?
I looked at the date on her aborted letter to "Mark": March 5, 2020--just a few days ago.
I called my agent.
"We have a big problem," I said. "Olivia is sleeping with Mark Sanford."

...Mark Sanford.

You remember him, right? The Republican governor who disappeared from work without notice for a week or two only to later be found in the company of an Argentinian woman whom he later abandoned his wife for?

So that's Part 1, and we're only up to 2020. I imagine we will have multiple parts and multiple bouts of shameless infidelity before we reach 2024 and Nuzzi's "digital affair" with RFKJr.

The legend of Olivia Nuzzi's indiscretions grows rapidly -- much like the fast-growing bamboo forests of India.

And I can't lie, I am, like the panda, RIVETED.

Here's my takeaway: We must always TrUsT tHe MeDiA because they are all smart, ethical, informed, well-socialized, of unimpeachable character and powerful moral fiber (bamboo-like, one might say) and most of all sane, and have no biases at all that they routinely hide from the public.

Oh, and there's this:

47 18 Olivia Nuzzi was as overexposed as her vagina. She's a talentless partisan hack. But she's a reasonably attractive talentless partisan hack with no qualms about Kamala-ing her way to success. Women like this are bound to get ahead. It's why see so many of them.

The "opinion" is 160 pages. That is ridiculous on its face.

It opens by taunting Roberts.
Then, spends huge chunks of the opinion lobbing rocks at the Supreme Court--amplifying the impropriety of the judges earlier this year whining that the Supreme Court doesn't hold their hand enough.

Jazzy Jasmine Ratchet went on the House floor and accused all sorts of Republicans of taking money from Epstein. One was Lee Zeldin.

As it turns out, Zeldin did take money from Jeffrey Epstein. A Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, no relation whatsoever with Epstein the pedophile.

And Jazzy Jasmine actually said Zeldin took money "from someone named Jeffrey Epstein", which sort of implies she knew it wasn't *that* Epstein, but someone else.

334 Women like Nuzzi who brag about sleeping around, having their rent paid, trinkets bought, leaving men "happy", etc. are gross. They are acting like whores but want to be taken seriously outside of the bedroom. Nuzzi struts and poses for the camera like she's a superstar who is super smart. At least Heidi Fleiss's girls never pretended to be anything else than what they were, were better looking and I would bet were a lot more fun and probably better read.

Eh. 410 dragonsbreath rounds are lame and do very little damage even to ballistic gel. If you need fire damage, .45 ACP Tracer or WW2-era Inc rounds are still a better, lighter option.

If you gotta go big bore revolver for concealed carry--Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 Special is the long time champ of affordability and concealability. Not the most pleasant recoil but doable.

Otherwise, Plain ole +P 38 Special snubbie revolvers with Gold Dot's Short Barrel ammo are a good call. Ruger, S&W, Kimber, Taurus all play in that field and if you can stand it, a 3 inch barrel versus the 1 7/8 or 2.5 barrel lengths gives a bit more length for sights and more umph for the round.

Don't recommend 9mm in snubbies as you can get bullet jump which is a major malfunction tying up the revolver. There is a reason that revolver ammo is roll crimped instead of tapered.

468 I've heard, but not verified, that a good way to wipe out spready stuff is by lopping it, then painting Roundup directly on the stumps while they're still fresh.

Goes right to the roots, and doesn't fuck up surrounding plants nearly as much as indiscriminate spraying.

Alaska has big ass bears plus substance abusing human critters wearing heavy clothes so 45 ACP is a minimum up there.

But never liked the 45 ACP much in 3.5 barrels or shorter. Unpleasant to shoot and mediocre results--9mm is better in that size barrel and pistol for penetration and expandability plus less recoil.

9mm is a very efficient cartridge but it gains minimally from longer barrels.
