Sonny Jurgensen, the Hall of Fame quarterback whose strong arm led to passing records for the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders and affable personality made him a beloved figure, has died at the age of 91.
Jurgensen spent the majority of his 18-year career in Washington, joining the team in 1964 in a surprise quarterback swap that sent Norm Snead to Philadelphia. Jurgensen would make four of his five Pro Bowls in Washington while leading the NFL in passing three times, and his 31 passing touchdowns in 1967 remain a single-season franchise record.
Did you notice what's wrong above ^^^?
Sonny Jurgensen played for the Washington REDSKINS. Not the "Commanders" as they claimed, and not the "Washington Football Team". And yet, ALL of the media reports pretended he played for the "Commanders". He never played a single down for the Washington Commanders. The US media is quite happy re-writing history all for the name of political correctness.

Followed by Ride of the Valkyries. Brahms's Lullaby it was not. Moreover, the music was occasionally interrupted with medical ads, of all things. Trapped in that tube, supposed to lie still, and I wanted to object loudly.
Then there were the breathing instructions.
"Take a deep breath."
"Now let it all out."
"Don't breathe."
[Enormously loud and annoying screeching for a few seconds]
"Breathe normal."
My internalized English schoolmarm forced me to complain afterward. Breathe normally!

Like its predecessor, TNG is classic, timeless, and still watchable.
For some reason I tend to fall asleep over Deep Space Nine. Maybe it's the dim lighting in all the scenes, or maybe the show is a little slower-paced than its forebears.
Never have seen enough of Voyager and Enterprise to tell much about them.

Worf
Data
Geordi
But the show was honestly generally terrible. Much better effects then TOS but it didn't have TOS's charm
Also, large parts of the show made no sense. A warship sent to explore unknown parts of space...with kids onboard?!? They got rid of money between TOS and TNG and...it had no effect on anyone really? And everyone is equal but Picard has a massive vineyard in France? And on and on...

The Heroes and Icons channels runs all the "cannon" Star Treks every night from 8PM - 1AM, TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise. I put Enterprise in there as cannon, but that's debatable. I'll go with it, I guess.
Anyway, I've decided the best characters of the old post TOS bunch were Elim Garak from DS9 and The Doctor from Voyager.

You mean the miniskirt they had Counselor Troi wear? Or was that later, before they actually evolved her a real uniform?
They were still feeling their way, trying to see how they could be different from the old show. I didn't mind that. The characters were growing with each episode and the series often gave us stories of a kind we hadn't seen before.

I think Oddbob meant that "Seasons" was the No. 1 most maudlin pop song, and "In the Ghetto" from Davis was No. 2. ("Seasons" was sung by one Terry Jacks, whoever he was, and written by Rod McKuen. I think.)
"Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro, and "Teddy Bear " by Red Sovine, are probably my worst two pop or country songs as far as maudlin goes.

DS9 had great character interactions with each other and good characters to start with. You had O'Brien and Bashir always off on some big holosuite adventure, quark and rom, quark and odo, jake and rom, sisko and jake, sisko and dax, worf, the dabo chick, the dude who sat at bar for 7 seasons and never said a word, etc etc. That goes a long way when it comes to making a good series. Babylon 5 had that, and B5 was great. DS9 also had sisko, who wasn't a pushover. He was no picard, who thought everything could be solved over a nice cup of earl grey.

Its borderline watchable at best.
Picard isn't Kirk. He's older, and demonstrably more indecisive. Nobody watched TNG and thought to themselves "I want to grow up and become Picard".
Data isn't Spock. Its not even close. There was no path forward for Data to become anything other than a sympathetic android. Spock was brilliant, and half-human.
No woman other than Uhura was in the regular command circle of the original Star Trek. TNG had all sorts of female "feelings" characters "Picard" regularly relied on. That crew was soft.
But the dagger for the TNG is...the Ferengi. It all became fake and gay the moment those horrible characters appeared. They were a thousand times more effeminate than the Romulans and the Klingons. In what universe would the Ferengi even matter?
And EVERY SINGLE Star Trek vehicle that came after the original was similarly handicapped. "Captain" Kate? Bite me.

There was a crossover, where the actual doctor who had developed and programmed the Emergency Medical Program for starships like Voyager appears on the station -- played by Robert Picardo. The directors have chosen Julian, DS9's doctor, to be the model for a new long-range program. Sisko asks the doctor/programmer who he used as the model for the existing setup, and he says, "Myself, of course!"
The real, physical doctor turns out to have an eye for the ladies, too.

Robert Picardo's Doctor had some of the best channeling of Bones "Dammit, I'm a doctor, not a fill-in-the-blank". They said he got the role when he was auditioning for the part and ad-libbed in, "I'm a doctor, not a night light" for a scene.
One of the funniest Voyager episodes, early last season I think, was when the Doctor's "holo matrix" had to be hidden in Seven of Nines Borg brain implants for some reason -- they were captured by some aliens who outlawed holograms.
Anyway, Doctor ends up taking over control of Seven. Jerry Ryan did an hilarious job of channeling the Doctor's character. Funniest line, Seven gets back in control and is furious at the Doctor, "You became sexually aroused in my body!".

Funny that DS9 comes up as a topic tonight. I was just watching a Youtube review of the latest episode of the execrable Starfleet Academy and apparently it uses Benjamin and Jake Sisko as a plot point. I thought the Jake character was a huge missed opportunity. He could have been 1000% more interesting if they had written him not as a kid who sometimes got into a little kid-like trouble but as a genuinely bad kid. A real JD, a mirror universe Wesley, involved in all kinds of crime and trouble on the station, that Sisko had to deal with.

Speaking of Aussie, in a brief tangent, I was getting my hair done this morning,and heard his accent from the next chair and got briefly excited, mate. Then I discovered HE was getting foil highlights like me and figured he must be gay and lost interest.
The Indian off shore customer service had all sorts of static & music and a bad accent.I told him to turn the volume down.
One item was stolen by USPS,who I blame. Then the idiot hung up on me.
If you give really bad ratings on the survey they call you right back. I hope he gets that new killer bat virus.
I got another Indian. A kind woman who couldn't say my name to save her life, but did send me, at no bloody charge she said & there better not be, a new half of what I ordered & someone stole.
This is how part of my day went. In reality it was only about 30min but it felt like hours. Otherwise things are good and we might get some snow next week.

"We're here in the shadow of the great monument to Simon Bolivar, the great liberator. It's right up here, the great liberator of Latin America. And he's a hero, right?"
"We now have a new great liberator, Donald Trump,... President Trump almost miraculously overthrew a regime, the Chavez-Maduro regime, which had been entrenched for over 25 years."
Nobody, he added, "thought that we could ever remove them and he did it without an invasion. Just one military strike. Boom. It was done."

That was a great episode. Adding Seven of Nine really improved that series. She had a good character arc and it added a bunch of story line possibilities. I liked how she was like a big sister to the little girl Naomi Wildman.

Alex Krainer (I know, who?) speculates that Trump moved to take Maduro to forestall a regime change move, probably by the Euros, to install Maria Machado -- who they just gave a Nobel for neither winning an election or actually creating peace.
He also thinks that Maduro was in on it, since it took so little time, and it appears that a lot of the anti-air defense gear was parked in garages at the time.
Machado would have been a disaster, and caused a civil war. Delcy Rodriguez is doing impressive things about political prisoners and might be doing more than the Colombians to muzzle the cartels.

In my reading I was convinced we'd be robbed so I took precautions. My men could not wear jeans nor running shoes. Well, the little Paris men wore jeans and tees without collars (mine stood out in polo shirts).And running shoes. My men were not happy with me. We stood out as we are all blonde.
We took the subway to a lot of places. I had index cards to know which stop to get off and not look like a tourist. My guy and I once got into an argument as we pretended to be French and not stand out to the thieves. Our youngest whispered to me that we were argue whispering in English.
I knew enough French to get by, from HS, and knew how to scream, "Call police, I am being robbed!" at the time.
Even in HS the boys were over 6' so we had no issues with the French.
Years later, standing in line to Marie Antoinette's childhood home in Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace, my stupid men whispered that "no wonder the Germans won" as some men of Europe are so tiny. If you are from Europe and tiny but a Moron, please forgive me. Je suis désolé. (continued)

My husband walks very fast and was known, before his back issues, to be seen running through the parking lots of Publix in FL, just because he ran.
There was a courtyard and our windows opened to this. I was upstairs on the 3rd floor putting on mascara when I heard a loud crash. Thought a busboy dropped a tray.
My guy appeared about 15min later with a red bump on his head & a bloody lip. In his rush to get the Paris map, he crashed head first into thick glass doors in the lobby. Woke to many French people concerned above him, and leaped up and carried on.
Our sons did not hear this. I did not know. He could have been whisked off like Princess Diana in one of those goofy siren ambulances and we would have never seen him again.
He tells me the story. I ask if he is ok & he said yes so we carry on (he possibly had a mild concussion). We leave the hotel and see his facial imprint on the glass door and we all collapse laughing in the lobby like loons when we see it. The man behind the desk wondered about us all.
His bump is in photos.

I want the NFL to suffer for inflicting a shitty left wing trans-more-than-friendly anti-ICE asshole named Bad Bunny on their audience.
There is a deliberately counter programmed alternative to the "official" Superbowl Bad Bunny halftime show
It is airing on the TV networks Daily Wire+, TBN, Real America’s Voice, The National News Desk, CHARGE!, NTD.com, and OAN News.
You can also watch it on Turning Point USA accounts on X, YouTube, and Rumble, or directly as AMERICANHALFTIMESHOW.COM
Big feature is Kid Rock, mostly country artists.
For those with Dish, TBN is Chan 260, Real.Americas Voice is Chan 219, CHARGE! is on Chan 290, and OAN is on Chan 212. It's going to be timed to the actual halftime, so it'll end before the game resumes
If we can get enough people (especially sat and cable where they are tracking exactly what you're watching) to switch only during halftime, the message will be heard when advertisers want money back because of reduced eyeballs.

Everything I've read suggests that the defenses were deployed, up, running, and very stupidly dependent upon the standard radar and civilian infrastructure (electrical grid).

Some conditions that María Corina Machado sets to hold free elections in Venezuela:
-Open the electoral registry for Venezuelans abroad.
-Audit the identification system so that only Venezuelans can vote. She remembers that more than 10,000 Venezuelan passports were delivered to Islamic extremist agents.
This process could take 9 to 10 months once started.

Alex Krainer does, though he only has the experience of growing up in Yugoslavia at the wrong time, and living in Venezuela.
If Venezuela wound up being torn up from an ongoing civil war, maybe brining Colombia and the FARC in, the US would have a septic sore at our belly that we can't ignore and will be worse than Vietnam to calm down.
Maduro was a in a weak position, and was chosen to take Chavez' place, and I suspect was run by his generals and the cartels, as well as the Cubans. Once he is nabbed, then Rodriguez, who is truly one of the power elite families in Caracas can operate. She is also an insider in the Oil industry. She doesn't have to be good, she just has to want the best for Venezuela. From what I have heard, this is who she is.
I don't know about all the air defense equipment, but I saw truck mounted batteries destroyed in a garage in a tiktok clip, where they were not able to engage targets even before they got blowed up.

I was old enough to know better, but I remember this anytime someone comes up.with the idea that kids are just smallish adults. They aren't and you can't trust their impulse control.
When I got caught with the empty box and all the foil wrappers my mother called the doctor. He told her to go to the drugstore and get charcoal tablets. Crushed them up and I had swallow that with a little water. I had some diarrhea, but not life threatening.
I think of this story every time I hear crap like giving school.kids the vote. Given the results, I think 18 as the voting age is a failure. I'm all for raising it to 25, which is when the frontal lobes are completely developed. It's also where car insurance rates start coming down. Actuarial history doesn't lie.

Heh...it was only a matter of time. The State loses the fuel tax from EV owners, so they had to make up a new cost to re-acquire that money. It's funny because a lot of EV owners could give a shit about the environment, and bought one to avoid paying for gas, and the attached taxes. Oops. I read the bill, they are also playing around with a mileage tax currently proposed to be 1.2 cents per mile. So if you go 20,000 in a year, the payment is about the same as the increase on registration. BUT, once a tax like that shows up, it never goes away, and it always increases.
Still, the total fuel tax you pay for IC cars well exceeds this new EV cost.

You can think of it like how 'computer' used to be a job that humans had. You would go and get a job as a computer where you would do calculations. They had entire skyscrapers full of humans....20, 30 floors of humans...just doing calculations. Now, that entire skyscraper of humans doing calculations can be replaced by a laptop with a spreadsheet. That spreadsheet can do vastly more calculations than an entire building full of human computers
So, you think about it: what if only some of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by humans? That would be much worse than if all of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by the computer. And so, really what will happen is the pure AI, pure robotics corporations or collectives will far outperform any corporations that have humans in the loop. It will happen very quickly

Big bro & I both got ice skate for Christmas one year, and Dad took us out to a frozen pond by Grandma's house. Hilarity ensued!
Dad could skate well. Big bro did alright. My ankles were too weak, even with the hard leather boots. These were not the dual-bladed "beginner" skates, oh no... but I had as much fun as possible, trying to imitate Peggy Fleming.

Damascus goat looks like a Star Wars trash dealer. Humpback whale wants to be a ninja. This cat will tell you the way to the Invisible Castle, but first you must answer his Riddles Three. Steve Inman: Some good FAFO's. Caution, two of the clips involve shootings (non-fatal). The universe hates violent nihilstic low-IQ losers. Soy-filled hipster douchebag leads with his chinless. Here's some FAFO action for those annoying, belligerent on-the-street "pranksters"/ruffians. Caution, the first guy "pranked" decides he's had enough of the "prank" and pulls a gun.

The guy who shot him got off on the minimum (had to get him for discharging a firearm indoors, but a great deal of local sentiment (of the non-AWFL type) was "good for the guy who shot him".
(shooter was some guy doing food delivery, and the kid getting in his face kept shoving his phone up playing a recording of something like "you smell". Guy backed up and told him to leave him alone several times, tried to leave, and then shot him when he kept coming on. Rich daddy tried to defend prankdouche as someone who just brings people joy with his videos. He has a whole channel on youtube doing some really stupid and often illegal things)

He is not Michelangelo. Who was an architect, THE greatest sculptor of all time (no question) and arguably one of rhe greatest painters.

In Oak Ridge, TN at the Peace Pavilion there's a monster 4 ton cast bell that can be rung by visitors. The city fathers commissioned a Japanese bell maker in Kyoto to cast it. The bell has inscriptions such as Pearl Harbor Day, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and V-J Day along with stylized forms of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Which leads to a relief panel of the Atomic Symbol.

I was intrigued so I looked up Entz Castle. The Castle was built over time as a joint project by 3 branches of the family, with each one building its own piece (some of it is 8 stories high)
At its peak, over 100 various family members lived inside it. So it sounds more like a really upscale medieval condominium.

What’s that big dome in Rome? It’s made of concrete, one of the largest single castings ever, something like that. Romans knew their concrete.
For bridges, and things like that, they required the architect to stand underneath while the final piece of stone was installed. Will it collapse, or not? Quality control was built in, over-engineered that way.

I was amazed to learn that during some repair work, engineers found that the concrete was full of small sealed ceramic bottles, creating many small sealed void spaces. This did not significantly weaken the structure, but it did cut the weight of the dome in half from what you’d calculate by just looking at the specs. A big reason it’s still up after 2000 years.

Friend was hosted by Japanese foreign ministry to give trade policy lectures in Japan in the 90s.
When he emerged from the Hiroshima "peace museum" with his foreign ministry guide, the guide asked him what he thought of the museum. "I guess you'll never attack us again". Guide smiled weakly and they moved on.
Best answer I've ever heard. My official statement leaving the museum when I was there was "not as bad as I expected".

"Colie had been acquitted in September of aggravated malicious wounding in the shooting of Tanner Cook, 21, who runs the "Classified Goons" YouTube channel..
The jury was split though on two lesser firearms counts. They decided to convict him on the charge of discharging a firearm within a building and acquit him on the charge of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Colie pleaded not guilty to all the charges and said he was acting in self-defense.
.. Colie was sentenced to time served, and his concealed carry permit was to be revoked."
Bullshit.. I would suggest that he was applying his 'concealed carry permit ' exactly as intended when he dispensed that pill..

There are all sorts of remaining WWII items around the San Diego area unsurprisingly, though some have in recent years finally been erased by current development (large coastal artillery bunker, I think, finally was removed for construction - at last - of a modern indoor shooting range/training facility for the SEALs on the Silver Strand south of Coronado). Thankfully the WWII "temporary" buildings on Pt. Loma (Fort Rosecrans) have been preserved and are still used).

Taking the Welfare Americans Just Don't Want: Half of All the Immigrant Households Contributing So Much to Our Economy Are on Welfare
What would our economy do without them, besides thrive.
Welfare nation -- more than half of immigrant households on government aid
More than half of households headed by immigrants are relying on at least one taxpayer-funded welfare program, according to a new analysis that is intensifying scrutiny of the long-term costs tied to the nation's immigration system. The study, released this week by the Center for Immigration Studies, examined 2024 data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation and found that 53 percent of immigrant-headed households receive some form of welfare assistance. That compares with 37 percent of households headed by native-born Americans -- a gap that widens when the data is broken down further. When naturalized citizens are removed from the analysis, nearly six in ten households headed by legal immigrants and illegal aliens are enrolled in at least one welfare program. Medicaid and food assistance account for the bulk of that participation, but cash assistance and housing aid remain significant contributors. Illegal alien--headed households showed the highest reliance of all. About 61 percent receive welfare benefits, including roughly 44 percent enrolled in Medicaid and an equal share receiving food stamps. More than one in five receive cash assistance, with a smaller but notable portion also receiving housing aid.
Because these foreigners add such vibrancy and fraud to our economy, you can understand why Charles Schumer and the Democrat Party are absolutely insistent that they vote illegally in our elections. Even MSNOW -- that's the transitioned form of MSNBC -- doesn't get it.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday likened voter ID requirements to "Jim Crow" while defending his opposition to the SAVE Act, legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. During an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Schumer was pressed on why he rejects the bill despite polling showing voter ID enjoys strong bipartisan support, including among Democrats. Co-host Jonathan Lemire raised those numbers directly. Schumer brushed them aside and instead escalated his rhetoric, branding the proposal "Jim Crow 2.0" and accusing Republicans of reviving tactics once used to suppress minority voters. The New York Democrat argued the legislation would unfairly burden everyday Americans, citing women who change their last names after marriage and individuals who may struggle to locate documents such as birth certificates.Yeah, sure.
He described the bill as "vicious and nasty," warned it would lead to discrimination at the ballot box, and declared it dead on arrival in the Senate. Under current Senate rules, the SAVE Act would require 60 votes to advance, a threshold Schumer made clear Democrats will not help meet. He said the bill will not receive a single Democrat vote, effectively blocking it regardless of public support.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! MS NOW just stunned Chuck Schumer by admitting 71% of *Democrats* want to pass nationwide voter ID

No senator may rise and talk more than twice on an issue and if the GOP holds the floor for the SAVE act, they can eventually exhaust all the Dems from the speakers list and then proceed to a vote. Anna Paulina Luna referred to it as did Thune who teased that it might be done after the shutdown ended.

"The idea of a talking filibuster is to enforce Rule 19 of the Standing Rules of the Senate, which states, “No Senator shall speak more than twice upon any one question in debate on the same legislative day without leave of the Senate.”
Under the rule, Senate Republicans would refuse to adjourn and would force Democrats to talk in order to filibuster the bill. Once the Democrats ran out of speeches on the question of the bill, it would come to a vote and pass by a simple majority.
However, under this procedure, Democrats could use up hundreds of hours of floor time on just one legislative question."

IIRC, Senate rules require a vote on the motion to end the debate on the bill in order to actually bring the bill up for a yea/nay vote on the bill itself. The first vote requires a 2/3 majority to end the debate.

Cloture is a really swampy Senate rule that requires 60 votes to end debate on a matter. The older rule was 67 but required senators to speak and hold the floor to do it, aka the talking filibuster.
But, before 1917 or so, the Senate had no cloture rule but did strictly enforce rule 19 that no senator may rise to speak more than twice on a bill and eventually teh speaker's list is exhausted when all the opponents have had their shot and been heard on the matter and they have to hold the floor to do it, then debate ends with no one left that can speak to the matter. Thence comes the vote.

Yep. The Democrat enthusiasm for that talking filibuster is not likely to end well because people favor Voter ID in an 80/20 act. The GOPe in the Senate are afraid because a successful talking cloture from a filibuster ends their excuse not to do anything.
Filibusters were never meant to be a veto but to rather ensure that debate was thorough on a matter.

Welfare began with FDR's New Deal, Social Security for the initial recipients was in fact welfare as many recipients never paid a dime into the system and for at least a decade, most never paid in as much as they got out.
The New Deal's Aid to Families with Dependent Children was also welfare and in part responsible for destroying the black family over time.

This is obvious and true across the West -- Denmark, Netherlands, and other countries have reported hard data for years.
So why are we importing millions? They say it is necessary to support the "welfare state" with aging populations and fewer workers with more pensioners.
But how does importing freeloaders help? It can't. It does help:
- businesses get cheap labor (some do work)
- businesses get more customers (spending benefits checks)
- gov workers get more clients (higher taxes of productive class)
But mostly it stratifies society into those who can afford to stay away from the invaders they allow in, and those who can not.

Exactly the point. We must discriminate at the ballot box - I don't want non US citizens disenfranchising the rest of us by diluting our votes!
If an American voter casts a ballot for X and the non-citizen casts one for Y, then the American voter has been disenfranchised and their vote doesn't count because it was overridden by a non-citizen.

If that was true, Biden wouldn't have needed 81 million votes. They are not popular. The division of the country is much more lopsided than fake polls and stuff ballot boxes indicate.
They can't even generate real protests, instead relying on a nationwide network of mentally ill mercenaries and they STILL managed to get owned by 3,000 federal officers.
Not even troops! Just ICE and Border Patrol with volunteers from other agencies augmenting them. And this was with the state and municipal government subverting them.
If you want to see Minneapolis as a trial of strength, it was a pathetic showing, and the fact that local cops are now helping shows which way the wind is blowing.

Pretty much but the filibuster was never intended nor meant to be a Senate veto on 'bad bills'. The rules change via the nuclear option in the 70's resulted in lazy ass Democrats and GOP relying on the filibuster to protect them from voters on the left and right from doing anything.
Very few filibusters under the talking rule suddenly became blocking everything from one or two per year with none in a lot of years, suddenly became 40-50, then 100-200- and more per year.
That bred the Uniparty which misgoverned the US for decades after.

Haven't parsed this all out, but I don't favor leaving those without property totally out. Rome voted in blocs (Centuries) of unequal sizes so the large number of poor still had a voice outside of rioting and destruction. The bigger stake you had, the smaller your century was and the more influence your vote had. But it wasn't zero if you were a citizen, and you could move up as you got more wealthy.

Exactly. Over 70% of Democrat voters support voter ID but their party leaders don't. Does that make any sense?
Democrat voters, and a lot on our side, have been led to believe that Democrat policies are just so gosh darn popular and that's why they win nationally. It's always been a lie. They win because they cheat which was made abundantly clear in 2020. Between deporting illegals and voter ID they are looking at years in the wilderness.

Since the current state in CA is almost total extinction of the local GOP, I have a feeling that the new map might not be the solution the Dems think it is. To grab more districts you have to reduce the margins in many of them. If you guess wrong about what the feelings of the various groups is going to be in the next election you could have it blow up in your face. And the Dems show a propensity to let their ideology take over for accurate analysis. The polls show the Dems are hugely unpopular and they keep picking unpopular issues to chase.

-Making in-person voting available for two weeks prior - 80% support, Republicans do not support it
-Making election day a national holiday - 73% support, Republicans do not support it
-Restoring the right to vote to felons who have served their sentences - 66%, Republican do not support it
-Automatically registering all citizens to vote - 59%, Republicans do not support it.
If you want to have a talk about voting reform, let's do that. But choosing the ONE thing republicans support is cherry picking, and partisan by nature.
Democrats don’t oppose voter ID at all. They oppose how Republicans want to implement it. If Republicans came in and said “we want voter ID and we will do everything we can to ensure every citizen can easily get their voter ID without extra cost to them.” The democrats would be okay with it. This is not what Republicans want to do and they want to make it more difficult for people to get an ID to vote.

If one wanted a dramatic film subject, the Zimmerman Telegraph book would be an excellent story to tell. Senate filibuster was going on at the time over the Wilson Administration's Armed Ship Bills and Henry Cabot Lodge worked with his political opponents on the Progressive side like Fighting Bob Follette to keep the Congress in session instead of adjournment. The anti war progressives didn't trust Wilson to stay out of the war, and the pro interventionist GOP were aiding the filibuster to keep Wilson's feet to the fire about helping the Allies. The Dem majority leader was caught from the left and right.
And then suddenly you get the drop of the unrestricted submarine warfare and the Brits intercept a telegram that urges Mexico to come into the side of the Germans as allies to regain the Southwest. Eventful couple of months brilliantly described in the book.

Its pretty easy when you don't have a few traitors held in office with fraud. This 50 50 stasis is not a historical norm. In the past when you screwed up as a party you got lambasted in the House, Senate and Presidency. The Senate is harder to shift by design to balance impulsiveness.

True, but classical politics caused representatives to follow public opinion. What is going on now is to me, unprecedented. When issues reached 80-20 levels, both parties embraced it to prevent blowback.
The slow dance between them, where one rides an issue to power and the other tries to find a different issue after discretely dropping the unpopular one - that has been the story of American politics.
Right now, it's broken because the leadership of both sides hate the electorate and think they can avoid facing it.

In the case of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, I can actually blame myself LOL. It is my own immune system deciding my skin and joints are the enemy. Basically home bound and watching the tube from an approved posture, no weight lifting beyond 5 lbs, and have to support my melon head until the joints begin to fuse. Hopefully without the bone spurs that I tend to develop after surgery.
Nevertheless, the Lord is good and reading the Bible gives salve to my afflictions in realizing they are but a speck of time in eternity.

The fact that virtually the same thing is going on in all the English speaking nations and Europe tells me it isn't natural, but induced.
One thing that happened was TV and radio MSMs led to retention of all government in Congress being retained 90 percent of the time. This reduced the pressure to work to the electorate and replaced it with special interest bribery. Rome had a similar issue in the days of the Republic where elections were so expensive you needed to ravage the province to pay for the next one. In that case it made the elections very competitive for the wrong reasons.

Watched a video of a Trump hat guy in a herd of liberal wimmen. With a few grey haired old hippie men lurking around. They were all older than me, and that's saying something (but much uglier). Bitter, angry, thumpies. Still in 1970 Kent riot behavior.
The guy would keep yelling on his bullhorn. A drummer drumming tried to drown him out and he thanked him and rapped to the beat. Old hags got in his face in full denture cream spittal and halitosis yelling "shame." He kept on whereas I would have been much worse.
They had their Soros signs and home made ones of the original Ice Out! I don't know where it was but there was snow. I hardly saw one young person,no blacks and no Somolians. Just old white hippies.
I was a very chic hippie in dress and partying, but never protesting. Although not happy with the Vietnam war at that point and wanting our boys home. I never grew the angry bitter face.

This BS became acceptable, in part, because ALL BLM (actually AKA Black Liberation Movement) so that meant all Black, brown, and definite POC, but even sort of iffy, well tanned, and/or great at applying makeup. And then, hand-in-hand, there also must be belief in Intersectionality as a real thing.
Even crazier, many in the nation fell into BS like land acknowledgements that eventually do or will grant more undeserving a greater hand up.
Somewhere - probably in several documents and treaties - the US and/or North America as a whole agreed it was wonderful to have lots of aliens from all over come quickly to this affluent part of the world in order to built a magic land of possibilities - or not. 🤷♀️ And most politicians simply ride along for the power and money.

Senators Ask Netflix Head Ted Sarandos: Why Does Your Company Propagandize Children as Young as Babies to be Transgender?
Congress is grilling Netflix because Netflix would like to buy Warner Bros. and further dominate the media. Yes, people are allowed to propagandize as they like, but Netflix is seeking permission from the government to become a near-monopoly. The people have the right to know what Netflix will do with this additional monopoly power.
This is one example of Netflix promoting transgenderism for children. But that "documentary" at least deals with a high-school aged mentally-ill child. Much of Netflix's actual kiddie shows -- cartoon shows, high pitched voice talking animal shows -- feature transgender storylines and transgender propaganda about people (kids) "choosing" their sex and reprimanding kids for thinking that sex is innate. For example:OMG. CoComelon Lane, a Netflix show for CHILDREN, showcases a little boy in a dress, dancing for his two gay dads.

Researchers compiled references to LGBTQ+ themes, characters, storylines, and messaging across 326 Netflix series (both licensed and original) rated for young audiences (TV-G, TV-Y, or TV-Y7). Representation was categorized as "Explicit" (characters clearly identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, orSo, when asked about this not-so-secret gay agenda: Sarandos makes like Christopher Wray being asked about antifa and denies it exists. He not only denies that there's a gay agenda in Netflix's children's shows, he says there's no left-wing bias in any Netflix programming.
nonbinary), "Implied" (non-primary characters or "queer-coded" characters), "Meta" (gay families or participants in reality programming), or "None."
Across all age categories (TV-G, TV-Y, and TV-Y7), 33% contained LGBTQ+
characters, themes, storylines, or messaging. 41% of G-rated series contained LGBTQ content, roughly evenly split between
Explicit (18%) and Meta (19%). Only 4% was "Implied." LGBTQ+ content on TV-Y7 programming was largely Explicit (24%). TV-Y rated programming had the lowest ratio of LGBTQ+ content, with more
emphasis on "educational" content. Even so, 21% of TV-Y rated programs still
contained such content, including, notably, a reboot of The Magic School Bus: The
Magic School Bus Rides Again which introduces Liz, a "trans-coded" chameleon
and Mrs. Franklin (Angela's wife); and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City,
which introduces Banoffee, a transgender character and Raisin Cane, who is
"nonbinary." It is also worth noting that "reboots" of older series, or later seasons of long-
running series frequently introduced LGBTQ characters where none existed before.
In addition to The Magic School Bus, this was observed with Power Rangers, The
Baby-Sitter's Club, She-Ra, and The Fairly OddParents, among others. Which Came First: LGBTQ+ Content Aimed At Kids, Or
"Inclusive" Content That Caters to Kids Who Identify
As LGBTQ+? The German playwright Bertolt Brecht famously posited that "Art is not a mirror
held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it."
Whether you agree with him or not, it is an attitude that seems to be widely shared by many in the entertainment industry. When confronted with the possibility that their product might inform or even influence the behaviors of young audiences, they will deny any such influence and insist that they are merely holding a mirror up to society. And yet we have seen enough leaked videos and internal memos to know that there is, for many working in entertainment, a desire to reshape the culture to align with their own worldview. ... In 2022, executive producer for Disney Television Animation Latoya Raveneau
touted Disney's efforts to feature LGBTQ storylines, "In my little pocket of Proud Family Disney TVA, the showrunners were super welcoming ... to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda ... Maybe it was that way in the past, but I guess something
must have happened ... and then like all that momentum that I felt, that sense of 'I don't have to be afraid to have these two characters kiss in the background.'" In his book, Primetime Propaganda, Ben Shapiro notes that television (and by
extension, any popular media) "reflects those who create it and transforms
everybody else." [Emphasis added.] It reflects the reality of those living in the self-
selected and isolated bubbles of Manhattan and Hollywood, while transforming the
attitudes, perceptions, beliefs, behaviors, and worldview of the rest of the country.
Shapiro quotes David Shore, creator of House, "I think there's a knee-jerk reaction
from people to some extent to say, 'It's just reflective, it's just reflective, you can't
hold me responsible' from people within the industry... That's a cop-out because...
we're also thrilled by the fact that we're touching people's lives." Taken together, these accounts show that content creators view children's
programming as a tool for cultural transformation, not merely a reflection of
existing norms.

Since my interest in the Snooper Bowl approaches winter-temps-in-Antarctica levels, i.e., below zero, there's no worry for me about what to watch.
One of our local animal shelters some years ago, before the Sniffle Scare, held a Kitten Bowl video fest at the shelter for those uninterested in the SB like me. I was not the only guy there, though I may have been the only straight one or the only one with a girlfriend. I didn't ask. Anyway, it was fun.

Anime is a medium, not a genre. That's like saying you won't watch movies because they are all porn, because the only movie you've ever seen is 50 Shades of Grey. Or all movies are babies because the only movie you've ever seen is Bambi.
There is PG anime, safe YA anime, unsafe YA anime, adult anime, etc. if you want it they've made it. It is up to the parent to monitor it. I watch them all WITH my kids and we talk about it.
My kids still like Pokémon, but we love Maschle. (Harry Potter anime but Harry has no magical powers! I don't know how they didn't get sued by the Rowling estate.) Belle, drifting Home, a whisker away... plenty of good anime about kids that is poignant and not gross.

Your "truth" is objectively false and therefore not true at all. There is truth and falsity, not "my truth" or "your truth." The abandonment of the notion of objective truth as discussed by the philosophers of old is one of many disasters in our society.

I need to see Josee the tiger and the fish. About a boy who befriends a girl in a wheelchair. ShoeOnHead did a whole video on how men love it because it is about two people who need each other. Men want to feel needed. But woke women hate it because it proves men secretly want disabled women that can't run away so they can beat them! Shoe has thoughts.
(Serially, what is WRONG with woke women!! Their mass trauma psychosis is not ok and frankly scares me.)
A Silent Voice is about a boy who bullies a deaf girl, and tries to redeem himself years later. I cried watching it.

Claims are coming from gaming chat ids. Apparently, like the Obama conspirators, game chat forums designed for comms between gamers in real time playing the game, were employed for super sekret chats. One of those accounts on Fortnite, I believe, was seen as active until it went private. Some have claimed other accounts out there still exists that are 'live' but no one can say exactly who is operating them and why.
The other scam used by the Obama crew was to disperse logins to some gmail account and post draft google docs as a way to avoid NSA and law enforcement intercepts. The accounts and logins were known to conspirators in advance so any of them could login in read a doc or leave a doc draft.

As I regrettably will never be a father to boys (did get to father a step-daughter), this sounds as close to heaven as one can get.
I had a best friend in 9th grade (we played soccer together) and we'd go to his home after school and play all kinds of games together -- but had the best time putting on boxing gloves and trying to beat the crap out of each other in his living room.
His poor mother -- often witnessing this -- was a saint ... who let boys be boys.

We hold hands and say the basic Catholic grace. My father's family holds hands and often does an impromptu prayer led by the patriarch.
The kids could never touch or handle the parts, and if they were in elementary and middle school, I threw a cloth over it. But by high school (especially of my youngest) if they wanted to see, they could. Not much to look at. Lots of little pieces.

Surprisingly, I found an ice cream sandwich company that makes a great Key Lime ice cream sandwich that actually tastes like real key lime pie!!!
Shocka!
Most key lime pie outside of the lovely and excellent desert chef, Mrs naturalfake's key lime pie are watered down poop.

There is a deliberately counter programmed alternative to the "official" Superbowl Bad Bunny halftime show
It is airing on the TV networks Daily Wire+, TBN, Real America’s Voice, The National News Desk, CHARGE!, NTD.com, and OAN News.
You can also watch it on Turning Point USA accounts on X, YouTube, and Rumble.
Big feature is Kid Rock, mostly country artists.
For those with Dish, TBN is Chan 260, Real.Americas Voice is Chan 219, CHARGE! is on Chan 290, and OAN is on Chan 212. It's going to be timed to the actual halftime, so it'll end before the game resumes
If we can get enough people (especially sat and cable where they are tracking exactly what you're watching) to switch away during halftime, the message will be heard when advertisers want money back because of reduced eyeballs.

Trans ten-year-old. Ed is a girl.
It isn't universal, four seasons, but you can be forgiven for thinking that. Anime reflects Japanese culture, and the Japanese have some very alien ideas about cross-dressing and the sexualization of children. Weebs can wail and cry and clutch their torrented fansubs, but even anime expressly aimed at children will have "fan service" camera angles, sexualized clothing, or outright sexual undertones in the relationships between characters.
It's always been like this, but it seems to have been getting worse over the last decade or so. I'm not sure if the problem is at the source or if the American market exploding is influencing the creators in Japan.
There's good, non-degenerate stuff out there but you have to hunt for it. Monster, Great Firefighter Daigo, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Patlabor, Planetes, Ghost in the Shell are all by, for and about adults.

Mostly Peaceful Protesters Stalks OMB Director Russ Vought to Assassinate Him
He says his mission was to "stop fascism."
Say, isn't there a terror organization that doesn't exist that justifies violence as necessary to stop fascism? That revolutionary violence is anti-facist, in fact? Oh wait it doesn't exist, right. M'bad, as the kids who are now in their 50s say.His name is Colin Demarco and he is 26-years-old. Last August, Demarco left his home in Rockville, Maryland and made his way to the Virginia home of Trump OMB Director Russell Vought. Authorities believe he was carrying a gun. Two weeks ago he was arrested and now he's been charged him with attempted murder.Meanwhile, the media's antifa allies are now routinely shouting "N*GGER!" at black ICE agents. And of course the media are not reporting on their antifa allies being loudly racist. Sometimes racism is good!According to the criminal complaint, which was drafted by an Arlington County police officer, Demarco was captured on a Ring doorbell camera at the front door of Vought's Arlington home on Aug. 10 wearing gloves, a backpack, sunglasses and a surgical mask. He was also seen looking through Vought's mailbox, and he approached a neighbor to ask if anyone was home. The neighbor told investigators that Demarco appeared to have a gun tucked under his shirt... Eventually, he said that he went to Vought's home because he wanted to confront him about Project 2025. He denied having a gun or any intent to harm anyone, however. He also told agents that the November 2024 election was "the lowest point in his life" and he feared "impending war and a fascist takeover," the complaint says.Demarco identified himself as a fan of Luigi Mangione. When authorities searched his ICloud account they found notes about his weapons and a "Body Disposal Guide." He also expressed an interest in killing president Trump.

@guypbenson 3h I remember when Democrats claimed Tea Party protesters screamed the N word at them around the Obamacare vote. Cameras everywhere, no evidence, but the media was all over it. Left-wing protesters now shouting racist things routinely in MN & you only learn about the clips on [Twitter/X].

Note that these racist white cocksuckers start calling this black ICE agent a "house n*gger" repeatedly. Apparently the "anti-racists" believed it was justified to begin spraying the n-word at a black guy because he asked a belligerent, aggressive tranny "Are you a man?"
🚨 LMAO! Some tr*nny started berating a black ICE agent, and the agent looked him right in the eyes and said “Are you a man?!”

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump's social media post featuring former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, as primates in a jungle was deleted after a backlash from both Republicans and Democrats who criticized the video as racist. The Republican president's Thursday night post was deleted Friday and blamed on a staffer after widespread backlash, from civil rights leaders to veteran Republican senators, for its treatment of the nation's first Black president and first lady. The deletion, a rare admission of a misstep by the White House, came hours after press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed "fake outrage" over the post. After calls for its removal for being racist -- including by Republicans -- the White House said a staffer had posted the video erroneously and it had been taken down.But the media's antifa allies routinely calling black people N*GGERS? Not even a story, mate! Oh and it's not just blacks, of course. Hispanics are likewise House Wetbacks for working for ICE. Rich white AWFUL cunts say so.

In December, the city approved a 2026 budget that eliminated critical staffing overtime. It was considered a $3.6 million cost savings at the time.
Operation metro surge is going to collapse the local economy. People are too scared to work, local restaurants stop having people come in, kids are not going to school. This whole thing is going to have a massive economic cost for Minneapolis, outside of budgetary shortfalls in the city.
Sadly I feel like this is part of their plan as retribution against us/Walz. Also they want to depress immigration in general, but particularly in blue states. That will negatively affect apportionment in the House.
The state needs to give metro area some relief and support using our tax dollars and they can take it from the outstate red areas that are cheering on ICE activity
Spending our own tax dollars to kidnap and murder our residents and fuck up our local economy.

It is unfortunate that the Left has decided that comparison is racism. I get it and he shouldn't have left himself open like that, but maybe that is a strategy.
Anything to stop their constant droning on about ICE and claiming against all evidence that Trump was part of the Epstein mess (did I miss anything there -- has anyone found any real evidence that Trump was involved in the goings on?)

UK Police Search the Homes (Plural) of Labour's "Prince of Darkness" Political Fixer and Close Pal of Jeffrey Epstein
No word on whether any Ukrainian rent boys were interrupted when trying to burn the homes down.
I mentioned on Wednesday that Peter Mandelson had maintained a close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction for child sex crimes. He even stayed at Epstein's swank NYC palace while Epstein was in jail. Mandelson even passed explosively valuable secret financial information to Epstein, telling the financier that the UK was about to announce it was going to bail out British banks during the 2008 real estate/banking crisis. Obviously this kind of information is worth millions to an investor. Completely coincidentally, Epstein wired $75,000 to Mandelson and another $10,000 to his gay husband. Mandelson denied receiving this money, then claimed he couldn't remember whether or not Epstein had sent him and his husband $85,000. Weird. I'd remember that, I'm pretty sure. Keir Starmer denied knowing about Mandelson's continued close relationship with Epstein when he appointed him to be Ambassador to the United States in 2024. He claims he asked Mandelson about it, and the man nicknamed "the Prince of Darkness" denied it -- or "used words" to "minimize" the relationship, as Starmer says -- and Starmer, get this, claims he believed him. Starmer also claimed the UK's security services failed him, by not telling him the man called the "Prince of Darkness" and making his living as a political fixer and international favor-trader might be lying. Plot twist: Keir Starmer was lying. He knew all about it. And now the police are searching Peter Mandelson's homes, plural. Maybe they were pissed off at being thrown under the bus by Queer Starmer.UK police searching two properties linked to Peter Mandelson over Epstein investigationMandelson was not an MP, and therefore ineligible to serve in Starmer's cabinet. But Starmer wanted him in the cabinet. So they appointed Mandelson to the House of Lords, which also is a qualification for serving in the cabinet. Mandelson was just forced out of this position:
British police said they are searching two properties linked to Peter Mandelson as part of their investigation into misconduct in public office, following revelations about the former UK ambassador to the US' links to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Since the US Justice Department's latest release of materials related to Epstein, Mandelson has been accused of passing on market-sensitive government information that was of clear financial interest to Epstein in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. London's Metropolitan Police said Friday that its officers were carrying out search warrants at two addresses, one in the southern county of Wiltshire and one in Camden, a neighborhood in the north of the capital. "The searches are related to an ongoing investigation into misconduct in public office offenses, involving a 72-year-old man," said Hayley Sewart, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Met. Mandelson, 72, has not been arrested and enquiries are ongoing, she said.
Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party on Sunday and quit the House of Lords, the upper chamber of Britain's parliament, on Wednesday. CNN has been unable to contact Mandelson this week. The Mandelson scandal has plunged Keir Starmer's government into crisis and raised questions about the prime minister's political judgment.It's worse than that, CNN. It is now conventional wisdom in the UK that Starmer will be forced out of his role as PM within the year. He was already the most disastrous and most unpopular PM in history, now he's scandal-plagued on top of it. And don't even get me started on the Five Twinks that are setting all of his houses and cars on fire. Beege Wellborn just covered Starmer's terrible week. It's a good rundown. She notes that Labour bank-benchers are now calling for Starmer to resign. That's his own party telling him to get out.
Politics UKI hear that word a lot -- his ouster is "inevitable," most agree, including Labour pussies.
@PolitlcsUK 🚨 NEW: Labour MP Rachael Maskell has called for Keir Starmer to resign "We need to now move forward as a party to ensure that we can gain that support back. I don't believe we can with the PM in place - it is inevitable that the PM is going to have to step down"
Tousi TV points out that the opposition party the Tories are now calling for a call of no confidence in Starmer. Not a no-confidence vote in the Labour government itself, which of course all Labourites would oppose. But a no confidence vote in Starmer is something many of them would vote for. Starmer is a 180 pound albatross around their necks. An albatross that has secret sex orgies with Ukrainian rent boys. The end is coming:
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the reason Starmer sent Mandelson to Washington, despite his long history of scandals and his friendship with Epstein, was to lobby for the Chagos Islands, with Diego Garcia at the center, to be handed over to a Chinese vassal state. https://t.co/ZY2HoOJOrL

If you insist on giving away the Chagos Islands, don’t give them to Mauritius. That only helps China.

Like Britain's royal family, the Norwegian monarchs have been thrown into turmoil after the emergence of emails sent from 2011 to 2013 of Epstein corresponding with an address listed as "H.K.H. Kronprinsessen" -- which means "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." H.K.H. Kronprinsessen's email in November 2012 calls Epstein a "sweetheart." Another the following January reads: "Anyway are you coming over to see me soon??? I miss my crazy friend." The crown princess, who is married to Crown Prince Haakon, next in line to the throne, said in a statement that she took "responsibility for not having investigated Epstein's background more thoroughly, and for not realizing sooner what kind of person he was." She said she "deeply" regretted her "poor judgement" and called it "simply embarrassing."The Crown Princess was a single mom before being married to Norway's Crown Prince. Her son was just... charged with a welter of crimes, including drug trafficking and four counts of rape.
The son of Norway's crown princess has told a court in Oslo he has lived a life of partying out of an extreme need of validation, on the second day of his trial for rape and more than 30 other alleged offences. Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, looked overwhelmed by the occasion, his voice quivering as he paused several times to take off his glasses and wipe his eyes. Holding back tears, he said it was very difficult to talk, and complained of being followed by the press since he was three years old. He denies four allegations of rape as well as other serious charges against him. He was giving evidence after the first woman he is alleged to have raped told the court she believed "100 percent" that she had been drugged during an "after-party" in the basement of Høiby's parents' house in December 2018. The woman spoke of her sense of "betrayal and shock" after police showed her videos several years later, allegedly depicting him sexually assaulting her shortly after they had had brief, consensual sex. She had already spoken of a "black hole" in her memory and told the court behind closed doors that she had no recollection of what happened. The court has ordered the media not to give any information that might identify any of the four women. There is also a ban on any photos of Marius Borg Hoiby, either inside the court building or on his way to and from the trial. The 29-year-old defendant, who was born four years before his mother, Mette-Marit, married Norway's Crown Prince Haakon, is not a member of the royal family or a public figure, but grew up as part of the wider family.And this guy's mom is besties with Jeffrey Epstein...?
There's a rule I heard that in any group of people, the degenerates and scumbags will always seek and find each other within days or weeks.

Epstein was a fixer for the wider IC universe, and connected money to money laundering, and had an extremely sordid party life on top of it. I am wondering what is being protected by burning the rich, and influential.

Why that is is a mystery.

"The United States accused China of conducting secret nuclear tests in 2020, 2021, and 2022, violating international commitments and concealing the explosions to evade global controls.
Washington warned that Beijing is preparing new nuclear tests with high destructive power while rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal."

So here I go. Everything is about money. Think about what money buys for the fucking losers.
Most of them were nobodies when they were growing up. Now a lot of the nobodies have money and what does money buy? Power is the first thing it buys then they use the money to further their perverted sex and political power.

Part of the discussion about nuclear testing is focused on them trying to ascertain the reliability of their weapons. Russia has a lot of old stuff as do the Chinese. But they are building new launch vehicles to deliver those payloads. They’ve been doing this a long time btw in violation of treaties where we were the only one living by their tenets. Trump has put an end to that and is determined we stay ahead in that race.

Not really.
Under the Biden junta the constant leftwing refrain was there are no Epstein files and outside of Epstein, Maxwell, and maybe Prince Andrew there were no Epstein clients. In fact it was normal to see the left conflate Epstein and Pizzagate and to claim the right were just calling anyone they didn't like a pedo.
So why are they claiming Trump is an Epstein client not? Because they believe those earlier claims hurt them electorally. And...that's it.

There's a rule I heard that in any group of people, the degenerates and scumbags will always seek and find each other within days or weeks.
I went to an overseas military brat high school with a high turnover of families. Anywhere from a quarter to a third of students were new to the school each fall.
The assistant principal charged with discipline once told me matter-of-factly that the bad kids coming in from all corners of the world somehow managed to find each other by the end of the first day of school. He said that this phenomenon is universal and well known if not well understood.
That information has served me well in the decades since.

For all its flaws and cringeworthy idiocy, the Parliament system does have one upside, which is that the live-action "debates" are like back-alley switchblade fights, with MPs attacking each other (including the Prime Minister) right up in their faces, sitting just feet away, and the attackee then has to get up and reply immediately, and attack back. Nothing really like it in the U.S. political system.
The upshot is that Stamer is doomed. His own party wants him out, the opposition parties want him out, and he has a 6% (not a typo -- sex percent) public approval rating.

And at a certain point it doesn't matter. The public right to know is more important.
Its funny the left used to argue this about say American support for anti-communist rebels. And...we already know the government was supporting anti-communist rebels it didn't matter if there were documents listing when the CIA flew out the weapons - either you supported what Reagan did or opposed and could vote based on that.
But the Epstein stuff is different. The argument here is that many politicians and bureaucrats are complicit in non-political criminal actions. Here the voters cannot make an informed choice without knowing the specifics.

Based on the timing Pizzagate was obviously one of two things:
1) A white hat incorrectly getting all of the Epstein information and releasing something not quite right
2) A black hat putting information similar to the Epstein op together so that the left could argue Epstein was also a hoax
And to be clear in the lead up to the 2016 election and again in the lead up to the 2024 election I saw any number of leftists intentionally conflating Epstein and Pizzagate

What with all these high panjandrums getting caught with their pants down, so to speak, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Pizzagate was just one pepperoni on top of a super-sized crust.

I disagree. The US supported Ahmad Shah Massoud's faction which in the end came out on top and after the Soviet collapse setup a government.
Pakistan/Bin Laden's Islamist faction only came to power in 'Stan later, after Clinton withdrew aid from Massoud.
Based on what we new about the cold war at the time this war was bleeding the Soviets, and a good counter to what they had done in Vietnam.
If we don't support Massoud, then Pakistan/Bin Laden's Islamists almost certainly still come to power anyway

Architect of Bengazi Terrorist Attack Finally Arrested
Wait, Hillary Clinton told me a video-maker was responsible for the attack.
Are you telling me that Hillary Clinton lied? Because if you are saying that, Chief, then you and me are going to have a problem.One of the architects of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack is now in U.S. custody, marking a long-delayed but consequential development in one of the most painful national security failures in modern American history. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday that Zubayr Al-Bakoush was flown to the United States overnight and will face federal charges tied to arson, murder, and terrorism for his alleged role in the assault that killed four Americans. Bondi told reporters at the Justice Department that Al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base around 3 a.m. and was immediately taken into custody, where he was met by FBI Director Kash Patel and Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Prosecutors, Bondi said, intend to pursue the case aggressively. "We will prosecute this alleged terrorist to the fullest extent of the law," she said, adding that the message is simple: time does not erase accountability. Pirro echoed that warning, stressing that the case is not over simply because years have passed. "The Benghazi saga was a painful one for Americans. It has stayed with all of us," she said. "And let me be very clear, there are more of them out there." Pirro said she and Patel have remained in contact with the families of the four Americans killed and vowed that investigators will continue hunting down those still at large. "Time will not stop us from going after these predators, no matter how long it takes," she said. "We owe that to the families who suffered horrific pain at the hands of these violent terrorists."

People on the right are I believe incorrectly picking up the left's language here, making the argument that the Left has empathy, even if it is misplaced or self damaging and the right does not.
The left is doing this, solely, because they grift off of aid for illegals and get to cast their votes. Empathy has NOTHING to do with it.
Remember the same people claiming that there is no empathy in sending Maria back home also tell us her home country is a wonderful place, America is a racist hellhole, and that they need Maria to clean their toilets.

The mystery over the missing kids is good, but it goes nowhere. It never feels "real" because everyone is so nonchalant about it. Other than a few parents, nobody seems to care. "Oh, seventeen kids from the same class all left their homes at exactly 2:17 at night and disappeared? Gee, that sucks. Whatever."
Indeed, the movie itself inexplicably forgets about the missing kids for 45 minutes while it wanderers off into dreadfully boring relationship drama involving characters that range from boring (the cop) to repellent (the smelly junkie). Oh, and did I tell you we see the same boring scenes several times in Rashomon-style flashbacks?
Nothing is ever explained. Some scenes and character actions make no sense. The ending is a big "that's it?" after two hours of boring buildup. Dogshit stars. Do not recommend.

Two days ago, Senate Democrats posted about an 8-year-old girl who died in U.S. custody, and the post went viral.
The assumption was that it must have happened under Donald Trump and Stephen Miller--because the cruelty we're watching right now makes that assumption feel easy.
But the public context note mattered: Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in 2023, under Joe Biden--while Border Patrol held her. And then the volume dropped and the outrage disappeared.

I was just reading Roosevelt's Exclusion Act for some context on immigration law.
It allowed for deportation of:
1.) Beggars - I get it
2.) Pimps - yup, I get that, too
3.) Anarchists - solid idea, one of them killed his predecessor
4.) Epileptics - ??? - I mean, I'd get it if it was a communicable disease, but this seems like an odd choice

@EricLDaugh
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger just signed to ADVANCE the 10 Democrat - 1 Republican 2026 redistricting map for Congress, now going to voters
This is insane. 91% PERCENT of their House seats would be Democrat — this state went 46% red in 2024.
1 Republican. That's a D+4 shift.
I really hope the RINOs in Indiana, and nationwide, take a long, hard look at what the Virginia Democrats are doing and STOP PLAYING GAMES.

If I were the Republicans, I'd simply go to embarrassing them with their shameless lying. Say "We're just trying to understand what went on here. the record shows you flew to Epstein's Island 28 times, is that true?"
Just go down the list, saying every nasty thing they did, and end with, is that true? End with the painting of Clinton in a dress. say, "what's this all about then?"

Terrorist For Group Which Does Not Exist, Antifa, Arrested for Inciting "Guerilla War"
Boy this organization that does not exist sure seems to inspire a lot of terrorists who do exist.
The Minneapolis Antifa activist who told followers to "suit up" and talked openly about "guerrilla war" against ICE is now in federal custody, charged with making violent threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Kyle Wagner, 37, was arrested Thursday after federal prosecutors say his social media posts went far beyond protest rhetoric and crossed into explicit calls for violence against federal law enforcement. According to the Department of Justice, Wagner used Instagram and other platforms in January to encourage followers to confront ICE agents, identify them publicly, and physically attack them. Prosecutors say Wagner repeatedly portrayed ICE officers as "murderers" and the "gestapo," framing immigration enforcement as an enemy force that needed to be met with force. In one post cited by investigators, Wagner allegedly urged followers to take action wherever possible. "Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them," he wrote. "We want to know who they are. We will identify every single one of them and we will prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. If it has to be done at the barrel of a gun, then let us have a little f***ing fun." Federal authorities say Wagner made clear he was no longer interested in peaceful demonstrations. In videos reviewed by investigators, he told followers it was time to "suit up," put "boots on the ground," and abandon what he dismissed as polite or nonviolent protest. "No, not talking about peaceful protests anymore," Wagner said in one clip. "We're not talking about having polite conversations anymore." At other points, Wagner described the moment as "guerrilla war," invoking the Second Amendment and warning supporters that armed resistance was necessary against what he described as "literal f***ing Nazi gunmen." Prosecutors argue the language was not metaphorical, but a deliberate attempt to mobilize real-world violence against named law enforcement targets.
More from Townhall:
He also doxxed and cyberstalked ICE agents.
"This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "Today's arrest illustrates that you cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot evade our federal agents: if you come for law enforcement, the Trump Administration will come for you."
...
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche welcomed the arrest. "It's no surprise that an Antifa terrorist is allegedly threatening to kill and assault federal law enforcement officers as they dutifully remove criminal threats from neighborhoods," Blanche said in a statement. "After all, this is what Antifa is about, lawlessness and violence. But under the leadership of President Trump and Attorney General Bondi, there is no safe haven for terrorists and no protection from the full weight of justice."
... "We know that a 'worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.' And Wagner's alleged actions were an attempt to spread fire into our peaceful community. That is not going to happen," said U.S. Attorney Gorgon.

The Justice Department with @ICEgov HSI arrested a self-identified anti-ICE Antifa TERRORIST in Minneapolis today. Conspire and threaten to assault, kill and doxx officers, and you’ll find yourself in federal custody facing the full force of justice.

They want so badly to believe and get everyone to think that these huge demonstrations and protests and riots are entirely spontaneous. Why, they show up out of nowhere! People just all got mad at the same time and showed up!
Then when given proof that they are paid for and organized, with pre-printed signs handed out and slogans taught through DMs, emails, and pages handed out... "well obviously every protest is organized, so you all show up at the same time, this is nothing odd or meaningful!"

That's why they're in military uniform during the raid. Bcause the federal government is at war with its citizens. It's not coincidence that Patel refers to his agents as his "troops" and Blanche to Minneapolis as a "theatre."
I am beyond tired of "doxxing" being part of the conversation. Judges, prosecutors, cops, FBI agents, etc, all do their jobs without masks. Get the fuck out of here. Every single officer should identify.
I wonder how being detained by anonymous government goons lines up with the 6th amendment, right to confront your accuser
the brilliance of the "doxxing" excuse is, the only real danger from doxxing is when people call SWAT, so the whole argument of "we need secret police to be safe from the regular police" does not hold water.
Nuremberg 2, Electric Chair Bugaloo, is coming. I look forward to it
People need to realize we will never have real justice again till this country collapses and a new one is formed.

Honestly I think most of America is kinda burned out on the Epstein thing. Yes its horrible, yes its evil, yes its unthinkable but its obvious nothing will happen to anyone and nobody wants to even think about it any more.
All those files and there's not really anything legally actionable. Yeah people said horrendous crap about torture, cannibalism, rape, molestation, pretty much the worst of human imaginable behavior... but just saying stuff in an email is not evidence sufficient to even arrest someone. Especially not the richest, most powerful people alive.
And making matters worse is that at least a third of it if not more is just outrageous rumor, lunatic claims, nonsense, and crazy allegations without any substance. You have to just throw that stuff out entirely, but you have to dig through it all to find out which is which.

These idiots are cosplaying as guerilla warriors BUT being backstopped by real actual money and foreign actors. There is funding, there is training, there is organization and action.
As was discussed previously on here a few days ago, it's literally the same playbook we run when we fund guerilla wars overseas. The problem they're running into here is that the "warriors" they are recruiting aren't strong blue-collar workers, farmers, and industrial people. They're butter-soft faggots, troons, and AWFLs. Their potential opposition is the former category, and we have way more guns. Will not work out well for the revolutionaries.

Denial, status quo bias and normalcy bias. I have personally observed amongst older (usually Boomer) Republicans an unshakeable belief that all the old systems are exactly as trustworthy and noble as they always thought them to be, that there is no existential fight for the continuance of America as founded, that we can (and should) in fact reason and negotiate with domestic terrorists, we can just have a nice conversation and find middle ground with our fellow patriotic Americans.

International socialism, of course.
Nobody hates a national socialist (a fascist) like an international socialist (a communist). Fascism was a fundamental betrayal of Marx, and the commies will never forgive it - especially because fascism, while manifestly evil, can actually be implemented (at least for a while) because it disregards Marx's preposterous anchoring in class identity and thus demonstrates that Marx was a tard.

WASHINGTON — One of the architects of the deadly 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, has been arrested and will be prosecuted on arson, murder and terrorism charges, Justice Department officials announced Friday.
“ Zubayr Al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. this morning. He is in our custody. He was greeted by [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel and [DC] US Attorney Jeanine Pirro,” Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters at DOJ headquaters. .
Prosecutors “will prosecute this alleged terrorist to the fullest extent of the law,” Bondi vowed, while Pirro said she and her team “will not stop” hunting down other attackers who remain at large.

I have it on good authority that most of these United States require ID to vote. There are just a few outlier states that appear to be run by insane people who hate their citizens and want them dead at the hands of criminals that don't have this requirement.

Hi Bill
The stations on the state line are always quite expensive. I recall being in Needles in 2023 and it was $7/gal, ten minutes away on the Az side it was under 4.
Prices here in O.C. range from 3.65 at Costco yesterday all the way up to high 4's for name brand such as Chevron. Prices appear to have jumped about 50c per gal in the last two weeks - might be because of the switch to summer blends or refinery closures or both....
Hope to visit the Hot Springs area maybe this summer with the camper.

Last month, a report in the German paper Bild suggested that male athletes were injecting the filler into their genitalia ahead of their ski jumping suit fittings.

From @TheAthletic: Reports have surfaced before the Winter Olympics that allege ski jumpers are injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to fly farther. The World Anti-Doping Agency has vowed to investigate.

So if you inject enough hyaluronic acid, you can fly?

>>>'Penis-gate' hits the Winter Olympics: Ski jumpers accused of injecting ACID into their genitals to become 'human gliders' - and could even face a drug cheating probe
"A study in the journal, Frontiers, established that every two centimetres in suit circumference reduced drag by four per cent and increased lift by five per cent - equivalent to an extra 5.8 metres in jump length."

Back in the early '90's tens of thousands of aerospace workers were laid off in Southern California, their jobs never to return - the media either ignored it or portrayed it as a healthy transition in the economy. Yet when some Hollywood PR firm laid of a few dozen workers it made the front page of the L.A. times business section....

But there are so many, so very many references to cannibalism in the files, and that one clearly horrified and distraught young woman caught on tape ranting about it in front of a hotel who disappeared soon after...
At one of Marina Abramovich's parties they made a dessert out of life sized gelatin designed to look like a girl, completed with a thinner red fluid inside that dripped out to look like blood when you cut into it.

New York Governor Brags About Banning Pistols That "Fire 1,200 Rounds Per Minute"

I strongly recommend against searching through the files. Cops who have to do this end up swallowing their pistol barrel sometimes.
But llots of accusations of cannibalism come up. George W Bush was accused of it, for instance. And Prince Andrew. Epstein himself supposedly said some horrific stuff in the emails like how little girls are "like shrimp, better with the heads off." I include that just to help you understand why you want to avoid this stuff.
Where is video. Haven't seen or heard of it

Going back to my comment about the early 90's - businesses of all sorts were fleeing the state - especially anything connected to manufacturing or aerospace - without a peep from local government. Lockheed closed their Burbank facility and took 10,000 jobs out and all the mayor had to say 'we'll be a more environmentally clean city'.
Nobody at gov't level took notice or did anything until housing prices started to crater - taking property tax revenues with them. Then they stood up and took notice and tried to stem the flow....

When it first started we were confidently assured by media and state gov that manufacturing was only '8%' of the economy, we'll absorb that easily. At the tail end, they were forced to admit each of those 8% jobs supported 2 or 3 other jobs so it was really close to 1/3 of the economy which is why real estate and property taxes went into a tailspin.

THE MORNING RANT: More Disturbing Slavery Re-Normalization; Remember to Watch Turning Point’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
A subject I keep focusing on is the disturbing re-normalization of slavery in 21st century forms. The left believes there is virtue in allowing foreign nationals to be brought to the US to work off-the-books at below market wages. Meanwhile, the corporate right’s war on labor expense has it seeking to replace US citizens with that same non-American labor pool.
As I wrote recently at The American Spectator, ”Slavery under any name and under any circumstance is a great evil. Neither left-wing ‘compassion’ nor right-wing ‘free enterprise’ can provide an excuse for it to persist in any form in this country, nor in the supply chain of goods that are coming into the U.S.” However, both the “pro-immigrant” left and the “libertarian” right keep trying to excuse modern forms of slavery. TV station NBC 10 in Boston interviewed an AWFL named Lisa who boasted of the Haitian refugees whom she hadThis is great! She could maybe take in another one and they would be a maid for her! Then she could take in a few more and they’d farm for her… maybe grow a crop that they could pick.

Waitaminit…
On the right, or wherever Rand Paul is, the Kentucky Senator has introduced legislation ending welfare for non-citizens, which is a good thing. However, Senator Paul has also argued for years that illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S. so long as they are working. Noah Wall cleverly points out that advocating for cheap, foreign labor that does not have the benefits of citizenship has a disturbing ring to it, stating on X/Twitter ”So we want a class of people who we can pay less and not give any benefits to and treat them however we want? I thought we decided that was a bad idea.”

I thought we decided that was a bad idea https://t.co/ASSyuX0NPJ
Eliminating “the peculiar institution” in this country was a bloody ordeal that almost ended the United States. It cannot be re-introduced in a “compassionate” 21st-century form.
At the community level, I saw my family’s longtime Presbyterian Church go from a well-maintained facility that was buzzing with activity to a neglected building with grounds in disrepair. The left-wing politics coming from the pulpit drove out the parishioners who had served as in-the-trenches volunteers. In days gone by, the men of the church would bring their tools to fix potholes, replace lighting ballasts, remove fallen branches, etc. They’re all gone. The rainbow-clad “clergy” took control of the church, but lost control of its upkeep.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Something similar has happened at my church because the DC suburbs simply grew out to the church.

It can be, has been and will likely continue.
If we call it straight, putting an end to the "peculiar institution" was not an American effort, it swept like a wave across the entire English-speaking world. We had our extremely bloody battles, Britain had her less-bloody battles and the rest of Europe - though nowhere else, other than through the various European empires - grudgingly fell into line.
Institutionalized slavery of various forms is the *norm* throughout human history. Only the most civilized, industrious and moral people - that is, the English-speaking peoples - ever successfully overcame it.
As our civilization wanes, it is the most to-be-expected thing in the world for the "peculiar institution" to make a roaring comeback. Just like child sacrifice and aristocracy.

My grandmother fled Mussolini in 1939 and barely made it out of Italy with my dad, an infant at the time. When she and my grandfather came to America, they had to have sponsors, they had to learn English, and they had to prove that they would be productive citizens who could stand on their own two feet.
My grandmother hated illegal aliens. And she was very quick to point out the difference between a legal migrant and an illegal alien. This is a distinction that has been deliberately muddied by the left, the media, and fools like Rand Paul.

Because it, like many institutions, wasn't actually a going concern. It depended on handouts (in this example, from its parishioners, who were happy to pay).
The smaller the institution, the more obvious the breakdowns associated with alienation. The local church goes to pot when it alienates its parishioners. The local social club collapses and closes down when it fails to provide any social benefit (and therefore, fails to attract or retain membership).
The larger the institution - and the fewer alternatives - the more subtle the decay is. There are more people to shoulder the burden of decay, and fewer options for the alienated.

Buck has a point that illegals are slave adjacent. I think on a broader view, it is an attempt to stratify society and that continues in many more subtle ways. Most immigration is about pushing down the lower and middle classes so that those already well established can feel higher. (why raise the bridge when you can lower the water.)
The beauty of it is that the costs (education, healthcare, benefits, security, qual. of life) are socialized so the lower classes pay through taxes for the programs and immigrants used to keep them down. They are doing what they accuse the "capitalists" of doing.
This keys into why tribes of any form are poison to a free society -- the tribes will always try to stratify with their tribe on top.

You can argue that for most of the indentured aliens in this country, it was voluntary. It usually was. The person goes to the cartel and negotiates for passage. The cartel provides passage El Norte on credit. The person remits part of his wages "back home to his family." The family pays back the local cartel man. If that fails, the cartel man starts murdering members of the family until the person resumes payments.
That's grotesque, but it was also voluntary - or at least, it started that way before the brutal reality set in. But "contracts" like that are illegal. If I sign a contract with you that you are allowed to torture and mutilate me, that contract will not hold up - the underlying act is not allowed, even if there was mutual agreement that we wanted to do it. There is a similar argument in this case. Hostage-taking is illegal, even if the hostages volunteer so someone can go El Norte.

No, they aren't, and honest indentures should be legal. Determining what is "honest" is, admittedly, a tough nut to crack, though.
There did used to be a modified form of indentures, for higher education. Corporation pays your way (usually for grad schools in one of the hard sciences), and in exchange, you agree to a post-education employment commitment with the corporation for some number of years at a discounted rate. The apprenticeship system was also often a similar pseudo-indenture - you provide a discount in exchange for training.

To point out the obvious that is often overlooked: AWFLs have been hiring illegals to care for their kids for years. Many years ago, when I was pregnant, I read an article in Marie Claire (iirc) about childcare options hen you start a family. All but one of the people profiled were paying a non-citizen cash, off the books, extolling what a great deal it was. Not one ounce of shame, the article clearly endorsed it as the best choice vs. hiring an American citizen and following establish labor law.

There are similar issues in every GOP state. Globalism GOPe types allied with corporations hungering for cheap labor and outsourcing and the populist people oriented pols that view their constituents as their primary focus.
Often the populist people oriented pols learn that the grift opportunities on the GOPe side pay far better than actually representing the people. The honest ones retire at that point, the others turn traitor using the former populist cred to earn generational wealth in or out of office.
MTG and Mike Pence are examples of these type. They may have wanted to do good for the public at one time but learned they could do far more good to their bank accounts if they defected from the populist MAGA movement.

Sort of. This is the personal benefit (to one's psyche) of being a retarded leftist.
- Illegals have it rough, and my indoctrination informs me that it is through no fault of their own. They, like all "underprivileged" or "oppressed" peoples, are victims of circumstance.
- Empathy is good, therefore I feel bad for the illegals
- My empathy makes me want to help them
- I help them by employing them and giving them some of my resources
- I get what I want (services) and I feel good about it (I'm helping)
- I feel great and have fun
The idea that it is exploitation rather than righteousness never occurs to them, because their indoctrination forbids the notion from even surfacing.
So yes, it's good and fun and just wonderful for everyone - *if* you have the required socio-cultural groundwork.

The Japanese as a whole are the single most racist population that I ever encountered during my 22 years in the military. Hands down they collectively hate anyone who is not Japanese and they do not let anyone immigrate into their country.
They will let people into the country on strict visa's for manual labor but that's pretty much the extent of their immigration. Once that visa is up you are out and if you don't leave on your own they will come get you and put you on a plane never to return.

No, they aren't, and honest indentures should be legal. Determining what is "honest" is, admittedly, a tough nut to crack, though.
There did used to be a modified form of indentures, for higher education. Corporation pays your way (usually for grad schools in one of the hard sciences), and in exchange, you agree to a post-education employment commitment with the corporation for some number of years at a discounted rate. The apprenticeship system was also often a similar pseudo-indenture - you provide a discount in exchange for training.

This is the model in a lot of poorer foreign countries. Affluent families "hire" lower-class workers to do labor (maid, driver, groundskeeper, etc) in exchange for room and board and college access and tuition. After 4 years or so, the worker graduates, and that's a yuge step up in the world from where he or she started. The system usually works well, but of course there are abuses.

Well, mostly yes, but.
Many don't pay any tax except the state sales tax. But we all pay the inflation tax, and I hold that that is one of the key taxes to keep lower and even middle classes down. It is a tax on savings and a boost to asset holders.
(it gets more complicated to explain why middle class assets are taxed, but upper classes have enough to justify tax avoidance strategies.)

I didn't know that. I haven't heard of that kind of scheme being entirely in-house, but it would make sense at that scale - especially given that at the time this was happening, there were few professional certifications and so there was little potential issue with "paying for an unaccredited program" or somesuch. Skills were skills. Develop them, prove them, and hit the bricks once the term is up.

Princess effect. Some people believe they deserve servants because of who they believe they are. And in their minds, they are always the hero of their own stories.
Cinderella is an example of the dark folk tales where some people do not feel whole unless they have someone to order about and look down upon. The Southern Planters are an example where they wanted to recreate the British society of aristocrats lording over peasants in bondage.
No American wanted much to be a peasant when land and other opportunities were freely available to make something of themselves so the planter class had to get a captive labor force that could not leave or breathe without the master's consent.
And those planters saddled the US with the after effects since then. Just like the modern variety of human traffickers resemble slave traders and their clients resemble those Southern planters. There is nothing new under the sun.

The only difference is in one case you sign up for a fixed period of time, but otherwise know what conditions you'll live in, and in the other, you can leave when you want. Both cases involve a voluntary acceptance of the boundary conditions. Don't like the deal? Don't take it.

1) On the one hand, we view immigrants as invaders, willfully looting this country, send the proceeds home and giving back nothing, taking the jobs of Americans who are consigned to indolent drug use.
2) Viewing the immigrants as victims who rich Americans view as no more than slaves.
I do not think these two can be squared, as is. I tend to think of the immigrants as more 1 than 2 (without assimilation) it is just liberals VIEW them as #2. In reality, they are financing often (look at Somalians or many Hispanics) lifestyles at home.

We already know from a lot of research that most of the current immigration is based on economics, not the wish to become Americans politically and socially.
And so we are looked upon by potential immigrants like lottery winners that somehow unfairly hoard our wealth when it should belong to everyone.
Same problem for any lottery winner, people come out of the woodwork to claim a chunk of it because you didn't earn that mentality.
Crabs in a bucket comes to mind.

Both can be true, but not in the same person. We have both types. There are invaders, and there are pseudo-slaves.
But even the slaves can be - and are - colonists. They *will* change your society when you bring them in and if you bring in too many, they will begin to overtake it simply through virtue of numbers.
Then they rebel and kick you out.

And there is no sector that has shown this more clearly than the entertainment industry where MeToo was used to turf out the old capable white males and replace them with incompetent hacks that check off DEI boxes.
People who have no experience in life to draw off of other than activism and sitting around in a dorm talking. People who learned how to write for TV and movies, books, comics, animation, and plays by watching and reading this stuff rather than living life.
Someone pointed out (cannot remember who) that shows like the Simpsons and South Park used to be written by people who watched and knew human experience and life, and reacted to it with wit and humor. Now its people who watched the Simpsons and South Park writing episodes based on old episodes.

Human trafficking is slavery, forced labor is slavery, debt peonage is slavery.
Once upon a time the KKK was far too powerful to contest, they were a political and social block that could not be ignored or denied. Revulsion over slavery is what destroyed it.
Human trafficking is slavery, no matter who benefits, because the rest of society suffers real economic and social injury through being forced to compete and then being forced to implement and fund it.

Like always, the law and its enforcement are two different things. Actions may be unlawful but without a way to enforce it, it might as well be lawful.
And poor workers as individuals are almost always not able to muster the political and economic pressure against their employers to cause such laws to be enforced.
There is a reason why labor unions came about even if what we see now are corrupt and bloated relics today.

Over what time period? Let's assume six years, starting in 2019 when the woke thing started going parabolic. In fact, let's be generous and call it seven years. They were ahead of the curve.
100 trainings over seven years, so round down and call it 14 per year. That's close to one a month, so let's call it 12 per year and be additionally generous.
Most of these courses are an hour, some are thirty minutes. Let's continue our rounding and call it an hour each and assume it all comes out in the wash.
12 hours a year, per employee. 1.5 working days per *year*, at best, wasted. Per employee. And that assumes no policy changes (no degradation of the workforce), no alienation of current employees, no productivity consequences.
The corporate standard work year is normalized to 2,000 hours. That is 0.6% of *all* working hours dedicated to DEI indoctrination. Optimistically, the DEI trash cost them that much in productivity. That's big.

People who spout the "nobody's illegal on stolen land" herp derp are phenomenally ignorant of world history. Nation-states weren't formed in Oprah book circles over boxed wine, Xanax, and minotaur bondage smut. It was war, conquest, negotiations, treaties, purchases, controls, enforcement, more wars, more negotiations, more treaties.

Slavery is too complex. I feel that a form of slavery is going on in China and S. Korea, but it is voluntary and resulting in low birth rates. Serfdom is a form of slavery and in all slavery there has to be some freedom and we can argue all day about which freedoms kick it over the line to slavery.
But stratification is anti-American. It is inherent in much of Europe, essential to Indian society, and what the open-border types crave.

Yeah it was baby steps, if you watch the film Amazing Grace you get a sense how hard it was to even get that done. At least one of the princes under the insane King George was very heavily invested in slavery, as were many rich powerful people in England at the time.
But eventually they banned it all everywhere, and even went so far as to actively go out and attack slave ships to free the slaves everywhere in the ocean.
Initially though, it was like the French: banned slavery in France with the revolution... but left it in place in all their colonies.

True enough. It reduces idiosyncratic risk. But that applies *only* in terms of operational model. It's why "fresh blood" - that is, hiring from outside for some leadership positions - is actually a good idea.
Funnily enough, though, DEI mania ensures conformity. It *maximizes* idiosyncratic risk - the very thing that "diversity is our strength," when understood correctly (which most people here *do*), is supposed to reduce.
Leftist inversion. You can set your watch by it.

Birthrate is falling worldwide, even India has probably seen its inevitable turn to decline. Most of the remaining high fertility states are either Middle Eastern or African. Even there, they are declining in rate. I think Israel alone has a higher fertility rate than replacement among industrialized nations.
World Bank has the figures. At some point in the 2050's, if trends continue, the entire world population growth will decline to below replacement aka 2.0 kids per family.

As we've seen repeatedly people move somewhere and immediately give themselves government benefits if they are a discrete clannish group...and the 3rd world is inherently clannish.
Now, if there wasn't a welfare state? Well the argument does get somewhat better (though it still has problems), but you will never ever get rid of the welfare state when you keep important foreign groups dependent on welfare.

The point in China is that it's...really low. Probably less than 1 nationwide, definitely at .9 in certain major ares.
We are at 1.6 (conservatives remain at about 2.05 in America).
The fear of China is...well, let's just say we're better keeping them contained for the next 10-20 years and then proceeding to ignore them completely because they'll have so many internal problems that they won't be able to project power all the way to Taiwan much less South America.

Hey! Reef has some decent thought about the Plebian-Patrician divide in Rome. I think he is wrong overall about it making no difference as time went on as opposed to the early days. I think the definitions changed but the essential differences between the classes stayed the same and even deepened as time went by.

There is a term I have heard, "financialized capitalism" where the goal is to maximize income by all means possible. Leverage, outsourcing, various elements from mercantilism like captured markets and raw material sources, exporting jobs to cheap labor markets, and general enshittification of everything.
This was held in opposition to the more Hamiltonian American System which is focused on maximizing production for consumption, and does not rely on anyone getting rich being the middleman or rentier.
The argument was that Trump was pushing to an American system in opposition to the financialized system that has been hollowing out the world for the last 80 years.

You never see neighbors. (check out their building designs - too long to explain here.) You never go to shops, you door dash or whatever. You never go to anything in the community.
You divert yourself on internet (games, drama, anime, ...) for a few hours. You sleep

I used to say there were only two seasons — Baseball and Winter. Opening Day was a personal Holiday for me, and when I finally entered the professional world where I could declare my time off, that day was always on the PTO calendar. I had partial Season Tickets for several years. I was at the very first World Series game to be played at the Ballpark in Arlington.
Then a politcal movement based on a lie was allowed to invade the diamond.
I was already on the fence about my continued support of the game, due to the idiotic changes that were about to be implemented, not to mention the plandemic that shut down attendance, but the kneeling nonsense sealed the deal. I haven't attended a game, and only watched part of the final game in the '23 Series to see the Rangers finally win one, though I honestly didn't much care. I haven't watched an inning since.

John Ringo recently posted that if you live among college grads and socialist theater kids who have no real experience other than being discontented and lots of indoctrination, it is impossible to write anything realistic or fun.

Posted by: NR Pax at February 06, 2026 12:06 PM (svLOV)
The only reason they have to struggle with that debt as opposed to any other debt is that it is impossible to discharge that debt via bankruptcy.
They are held in debt to the universities and the feds.
If you want to let that go, let the debt be dischargeable in Banko. Make terms if you want (for example force them to file single no-deductions for 5 years or something and garnish their tax refunds) but LET THEM DISCHARGE THE DEBT

------------
A foundational principle of contract law is that the law has to be tailored and interpreted to facilitate the practice. It serves no purpose to create a regulation or condition that immediately makes the activity unworkable.
If the debt is dischargeable, then everyone will declare bankruptcy upon graduation and dishcharge it, then no one will grant any loans because they will be uncollectible.
Granting the relief of "discharge" will also grant the relief of having the debt, or getting the loan, or going to college.
It is more complicated, but this is the logic behind what we have now. The problem is that millions were befuddled into taking on massive debt for a 4-6 year resort holiday that has no payback. How the heck did that happen? And who should pay for their foolishness -- the plumber? The pensioner? The HS dropout?

Trolls focus on words. Real men focus on deeds.
Trump SAYS a lot of stupid shit. It gets people running around with their hair on fire (I should try that and see if it's good for gainzzzz). Then he quietly continues doing what he's been doing.
Trump says "kinder and gentler". Trump also signs order saying that deportation orders cannot be appealed. Trump's deportation lieutenants are NOT saying "kinder and gentler".
It helps to pay attention.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at February 06, 2026 09:10 AM (ExV1e)
Yeah, but...everyone knows the Art of Politics is using the most inflammatory, inciting, and harsh language possible to describe the policies you want or are carrying out.
Like say, deporting illegal aliens.
Instead of calling it "deporting illegal aliens", the savvy politician, which Trump is not!!!, would say-
"throwing the scum of the earth into fiery burn-pits filled with industrial waste and diarrhea , then shooting them in the back and throwing their children into hamburger grinders"
That's the way Trump should do things.
I hope this helps.

They have to convince him to resign. Everything else, every forcing of him out, leads to a snap election.
Any snap election would see Labour lose its 288 seat majority in Parliament and become a rump party, probably behind Reform who have been increasingly promising hardline immigration reforms. And, since Parliament is supreme and can pretty much just do what it wants, Reform would be able to do it.
So, if they can't convince Starmer to resign, they stick with him. 3+ more years of change to the English demographics is a better bet than just trying a snap election now.

Making it impossible for him to actually retain a cabinet may be enough, but he's held out for nearing on two years (he took office in July of 2024) through the complete nosedive of Labour's popularity, which hasn't been high at all in more than a decade anyway.
He seems completely shameless, though, and it can't be that hard to find dimwitted leftists willing to become Exchequer.

When the Tories backstabbed the public and went hard left on the important issues of the day the people decided it was time to throw the bums out.
Instead of then voting for the more right leaning party though...because those guys are icky!...the British people voted for the traditional opposition to the Tories who are way far leftwing. Remember...because they were mad at the Tories for going too far left.
Obviously they Labor felt no need to tone things down and has gone as far left as they possibly could.

Eh...not really.
Combined, the CP and Reform got something like 60% of the vote.
The problem was that the CP gamed the election system, selectively choosing where to keep their candidates and where to pull them in the concerted effort of making Reform perform less well, which led to Labour getting a huge majority with something like 35% of the popular vote.
I'm sure Britain is full of "Conservative Party because I've always voted Conservative Party" voters as much as America is full of "GOP because I've always voted GOP."

Four reasons I can immediately think of:
1. Expense. Clothing is cutthroat outside of high fashion (and it's cutthroat there, too, in a different way) and larding up add-ons makes you noncompetitive absent a specific real demand, which brings us to:
2. Nobody is asking for it. I think it would look stupid and have no purpose outside of a hi-viz vest or jacket (where it might actually be really kick ass), but I am just me. I don't see people clamoring for light-up clothes. Probably in part because:
3. Requires maintenance. "I forgot to charge my shirt and now I look like even more of a chump" is not something most people ever want to think about. And speaking of maintenance:
4. It makes laundry a huge PITA. You will have to treat those garments with serious care and even when you do, it will be fragile because it will be built to lowest cost (see #1).
Harder chores, worse longevity, added maintenance and no demand. That's my guess.

I'm not saying this is what they'll do, but I think it's possible that they'd almost prefer to be kicked out of power now, with the hope that the party will recover electorally in the long term. If they continue to cling to power after they've lost all support, though, it may spell the end of the Labour Party. People are sick of them.

Look to the Italian Democrat Party for a lesson.
No reform of messaging. No moderation of tone. No willingness to cede power, especially within the party, leading to constant diminishment of actual power within the government.
Labour will hold on as long as they can, get as radical as they can, try to hold onto power by any means necessary, and when they are booted, they will never moderate or try to expand their base again.
Hell, they haven't moderated or expanded their base since Corbyn was in charge. They only took power because the CP schemed to give it to them.

I would guess that boobs generate trailing vortices that reattach flow over the badonkadonk section and down the gams. But there's no way to know without enough testing. Sure CFD will get an answer, but is it the right answer? Did your solution converge properly? Did you choose the proper grid density over her OML? Did you model her wake correctly?
No way to be sure without extensive tests. Force balance tests, flow vis, pressure strips, pressure sensitive paint, maybe Schlieren. I mean, are you sure there's no transonic phenomenon coming off those jigglies at jump speed? Only one way to find out. And then of course, flutter tests.

A prime minister resigning doesn't trigger an election in the UK. So even if Sir Queer gets topped, the government can carry on while a new one is selected by the party.

Yes, he has to resign of his own accord.
Anything else leads to a new election.
So...the idea is that Starmer is willing to resign. The guy who's retained power for nearly two years no matter what controversy has come across his desk or how low Labour's popularity has gotten.
He is shameless, doesn't care, and only wants to retain power. I wouldn't bet on him willingly giving up power.

Honestly, the little no-frills electric pickup truck ("Slate") was almost exactly what I want, except:
1. Electric. Not actually a deal-breaker for what I have in mind (local hauling)
2. Not at the magic $20k price point. They *said* it would be, but it isn't. It's $27k. It comes in at $19.5k only if you have that $7.5k federal subsidy on each unit - but the "One Big Beautiful Bill" removed that. Whoops. Whoopsie.
The "Slate" would probably have done well if that hadn't happened, but hey - live by rent-seeking, die by rent-seeking.

Bitcoin was down yesterday from something like $125,000 to something like $65,000 (nearly half), so people are pumping it.
I won't touch crypto because (1) it will eventually be banned and criminalized by threatened governments; and (2) if Western Civilization in general and the USA in particular ever collapse economically & societally -- which to me know is only a matter of when, not if -- you won't be able to eat your Bitcoin.

I've heard people in Congress say "I reclaim my time" when a witness is cross-talking. I think it causes the timekeeper to reset the clock to when the committee member finished asking their last question.
"Can you shut him up?" Is not in the House rulebook, so Bessent went on talking and used up her time.
House Rules are strict and complex. It's really just too bad for Maxine that she's too stupid and infirm to be able to follow them.

The Morning Report — 2/6/26
Liberals in Minnesota have had it with ICE raids and Border Patrol, so they’ve decided to take matters into their own hands with a novel plan to keep the people they don’t want out of their communities. They are, quite literally, creating a system to control who comes and goes. In the middle of the road at 32nd and Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis, activists erected a makeshift roadblock, turning the intersection into a roundabout. Cars slowed as drivers noticed. Some honked, others asked questions. One man even brought food for the people standing watch. . . . . . Trump actually trolled the Minneapolis Left into reinventing everything they claim to oppose: border patrol, wall checkpoints, cops, enforcement. “We need our own ICE to deport these ICE agents,” they cry, without a trace of irony. This is what always seems to happen when utopians on the Left — of all stripes — dream up their perfect society. They start by declaring that society as it exists is no good:We’ve got markets. We’ve got people making money. We’ve got private property. We’ve got exploitation — we don’t want any of that, man! So what are we going to do? We’re going to move to a commune. A farm in the middle of nowhere. It’s going to be beautiful — not like this city, not like this town. We’re going to live together in harmony. Some people are going to grow the food. Some people are going to bake the bread. Some people are going to watch the kids. It’s going to be amazing. We’re going to have a diversity of labor. Oh, you mean we’re going to have a market economy? Well, yeah, but this time it will be perfect. And we’re all going to take care of each other, man.And then there's also direct violent confrontation that led to the deaths of two Democrat/Left frontline terrorists Good and Pretti, and this madness:
Following the fatal shooting of anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Wagner allegedly told his followers to take up arms and attack law enforcement. “Show up ready to go. Not talking about peaceful protests anymore,” Wagner said, calling on people to “march…with guns” and saying “the Second Amendment is the only thing that’s going to keep you f*cking protected from literal f*cking Nazi gunmen.” “Get your f*cking guns, and stop these f*cking people,” he added.Horrid enough but worse are the Democrat politicians and elected officials egging freaks like this on to do as this psycho wants and go out and stop ICE and law enforcement by whatever means necessary. After all President Trump and all of us who support him are literally Hitler and Nazis so once that marker has been laid down, don't be too shocked that you get this:
Colin Demarco, age 26, who reportedly feared Trump’s reelection would lead to a “fascist takeover,” was charged after he appeared at Vought’s Northern Virginia home wearing a surgical mask and gloves, court records show. U.S. Marshals Service reportedly found during the investigation that Demarco had claimed to have written a manifesto that detailed weapons and a “Body Disposal Guide,” per CBS News. The court records show that Demarco is accused of plotting to murder a victim with the initials “R.V.” who, according to the criminal complaint, “has served as a presidential appointee.” The complaint adds that the alleged victim was involved in the creation of Project 2025 — a project funded by the conservative Heritage Foundation- to produce a policy agenda for the next GOP administration. It called for a radical reshaping of the government in ways that consolidate power in the executive branch. Sources familiar with the case separately confirmed to CBS News that Demarco’s alleged target was Vought.
Elsewhere, Trump has dispatched Steven Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to have a sit-down with the Mullahs. And then . . . https://nypost.com/2026/02/06/world-news/iran-seizes-oil-tankers-threatens-massacre-in-strait-of-hormuz-hours-before-us-talks/
Iran seized two foreign oil tankers in the Persian Gulf Thursday, accusing them of smuggling fuel and detaining 15 foreign crew members ahead of high-stakes US–Iran talks Friday in Oman. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy said it intercepted the two ships near Farsi Island, claiming they were carrying about 1 million liters of smuggled fuel, Reuters reported. The crews, made up of 15 foreign nationals, were taken into custody and referred to Iran’s judicial authorities, according to Iranian state media. The IRGC alleged the vessels were part of an organized fuel-smuggling network that had been operating in the region for several months. . . Zarghami later repeated the threat, calling the Strait a potential “killing field” for American forces and signaling Iran’s willingness to escalate amid mounting regional pressure. Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet Iranian officials in Oman Friday. The pair are traveling from Abu Dhabi after two days of talks related to Russia and Ukraine. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Thursday that Friday’s talks were still on, stating “diplomacy is always [Trump’s] first option.”
Per longtime Trump ally and adviser Fred Fleitz:
Based on Iran’s long history of violating international agreements and manipulating negotiations, it is certain that Iranian leaders plan to use these talks to buy time and to strike a deal that they have no intention of honoring to save their regime. Indeed, Iran’s recent offer for dialogue has already revealed its typical pattern of insincerity and strategic maneuvering.Fletiz is correct but he went on to note, and not incorrectly:
Although the new talks with Iran probably will be futile, I believe the Trump administration made the right decision to join them because it is sending a message to the world that the U.S. is prepared to exhaust every peaceful option before it uses military force. This may prove useful in convincing Middle East states to support a U.S. attack on Iran. A full-scale U.S. attack is unlikely to topple Iran’s repressive theocracy in the near term, given its resilient coercive apparatus, like the IRGC and Basij forces. However, targeted strikes—perhaps on nuclear sites and proxy infrastructure—could further weaken the leadership, expose vulnerabilities revealed by last summer’s Israel-U.S. attacks, and galvanize protesters by signaling international support for change.It's a good thing that the President stands with the Iranian/Persian people but unless the Mullahorcracy and the power structure that kept them in control since 1979 is utterly dismantled, this thing s not going to end well. It's also a very good thing that the President is drawing attention to the Islamic slaughter in Africa, without unfortunately calling out Islam itself as the root cause, political third rail that that sadly for all of humanity is...
U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has announced that a small team of American military personnel has been sent to Nigeria to aid the African nation in counter-terrorism operations. The deployment was disclosed by AFRICOM Commander General Dagvin R.M. Anderson earlier this week at a State Department briefing regarding ongoing efforts to end Islamist attacks against Christian communities in Nigeria.The decision to deploy U.S. military officers follows a meeting between Gen. Anderson and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu last October at the Aqaba Process summit in Rome, Italy. The summit, founded by Jordan’s King Abdullah II and held usually three to four times a year, aims to address counter-terrorism practices and ongoing threats in regions of need, especially West and East Africa.US military advisers? Anyone else besides me getting a flashback to Vietnam 1964? Beyond that, while Jordan might not be in the same category as Iran or Taliban controlled Afghanistan, it is nevertheless an Islamic nation. At best, any support to counter Boko Haram in Nigeria in my estimation is just another Taqqiya Sunrise to placate President Trump. Personally, The President needs to round up as many Antifa and other anti-ICE thugs as he can, ship them to GITMO and waterboard them until their lungs turn to mush and they cough up all their associates and funding sources so we can crush the terrorists operating within our own borders. To me that is Mission #1. Also, it's good to see lurker extraordinaire Victor Davis Hanson's byline. As you may know he has been dealing with some serious health issues and per his Twitter feed he is recovering. And, my spouse had very successful surgery yesterday and hopefully she will be home and quickly on the mend, so thanks to all for your kind words and prayers. Have a great weekend. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

As most of us know firsthand, being laid off can be a brutal experience. Indeed, when an outfit such as the Post cuts back its workforce, good people will typically lose their jobs while the worst offenders stay on. But the unmitigated arrogance and sense of entitlement exuded by journalists, who seem to believe they have a God-given right to work no matter how much money they lose their employer or how poorly they do the jobs, speaks to the problem more. Over the past decade, The Washington Post has been one of the leading culprits in the collapse of public trust in journalism.

At that distance sunlight is very weak, and produces very little energy. And yet, there is enough energy here to produce an atmosphere of mostly nitrogen gas, with trace amounts of methane and carbon monoxide. Scientists think this atmosphere only exists when Pluto is closer to the Sun in its somewhat oblong orbit, and freezes out the rest of the time. As Pluto was just retreating in 2015 from that closest approach in the last two decades of the 20th century, New Horizons could detect its presence.

"Brad Karp was the head of Paul Weiss, a huge Left-aligned law firm. Chuck Schumer's brother is a partner.
No longer as Karp's ties to Epstein were revealed.
The revelations are a window into how these elites circle-jerk each other. e.g., Karp got Epstein to introduce his son to Woody Allen to help him break into the movies."
Today we learn that Epstein made a $15,000 donation to Woody's daughter's prep school "So that she would definetely graduate."

The insurance companies have a concept called “attractive nuisance”. You put up a trampoline in your front yard by the sidewalk, right next to the elementary school. You’ll never guess what happens next.
Open borders, and a generous welfare state, and the crooked politicos, the religious “leaders” and “non governmental” organizations make bank. Everything is a scam. A very sick scam, and very very deadly.

Yes, he should. This author's sentiments echo our very own Ordinary American, who also suggested Trump use his platform, and imo, skills as a showman, to make this happen. Put every congress weasel on the line, call them out, make them explain why they are standing in the way of what 2/3rds of the voters want. Relentless, brutal, unforgiving assault on them all. It's vital this passes. I think we all know that.

The most visible rioting is in the city. I've no idea how many blocks, or square miles are affected. It shouldn't matter.
There's plenty of non-leftist Minnesotans in that area. Where are they? Afraid? I would be. But at some point I'd also have had enough of this shit.
Passive resistance in the face of rioting and fomented violence isn't going to work.

The taking, holding, trading and abuse of hostages is a regular part of Eastern diplomacy. There are exciting [strong stomach alert] accounts of it in "The Galleys at Lepanto." Whenever you schedule a summit meeting with Islamists, expect hostages to be taken during the run-up. They see it as a legitimate way of doing business.
If you detain, arrest, try or imprison one of theirs, they presume this is what you are up to. That's their world view.

It might be simple psychology. They know while voter ID can help reduce *voter* fraud, it can do nothing to reduce *election* fraud - and this might be the key.
Oppose it on general principals and hide behind the race card and through so doing, keep the focus on the lesser issue (voter fraud) while keeping the larger issue (election fraud) out of the public consciousness.

With one exception (out of NJ, IIRC), *every* image I see of a CDL held by an illegal alien has a REALID mark on it.
If *you* want an ID, you have to bring multiple proofs of identity - one of which must be proof of citizenship - and multiple proofs of residence.
Illegals, though? They just show up get 'em from a helpful DMV clerk who is probably on the take.

The video posted by the President late last night focuses on his accusations of election fraud during the 2020 election.
However, an AI clip in the video shows the faces of former president and first lady imposed on the bodies of apes followed by the The Tokens' song 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight.'
The clip belongs to a pro-Trump account on X but was reposted by Trump on his Truth Social account.

This incident. 2019.
On January 18, 2019, a confrontation between groups of political demonstrators took place near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The interaction between white Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann and Native American Nathan Phillips was captured in photos and videos disseminated by major media outlets. Other recordings of the incident showed that initial media reports had omitted details. Reports of the incident triggered outrage in the United States, including calls to dox the students. The students received death threats and Covington Catholic High School temporarily closed due to fears for its students' safety.

I wouldn't mind seeing it flagged by source. How much of it is equity in the primary residence? I suspect it is a lot of the total net. I wonder, if real estate is removed, what happens to the pair of averages. Housing is a real asset, but it sure isn't spendable liquidity.

What word would you use to describe it other than betrayal. It will be a softer touch with only a focus on criminals. His words.
Criminals make up 10% of all illegals, ie those with a criminal record inside the US.
So what do you call defacto amnesty for 90% of illegals if not betrayal?

U.S. Southern Command
@Southcom
On Feb. 5, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed.

Rickover story. He was supposed to be on the access list for every nuclear vessel - obvious reasons - but one submarine didn't have him in the book. He showed up one day, in civvies - as he did, showed his ID and said he was going onboard. Pier watch said, "I'm sorry, sir, you're not in my book." Rickover said he didn't care and started walking across the brow (gangplank). Pier watch pulled his sidearm and informed Rickover that if he didn't stop immediately that he'd be shot.
Rickover walked back to the pier and told the watch to call his captain. Captain comes out, escorts Rickover aboard, apologizes profusely, and promises to punish the pier watch (Navy officers can be real pricks - sorry Salty, you know it's true.) Rickover replied that the kid should be promoted instead since he was actually prepared to do the job he'd been assigned.

Yeah, but the point is to intimidate and threaten people, cause them to lose jobs, cause others who are inclined to stand up against this to second guess themselves. In that regard, it’s irrelevant if these goons are prosecuted years from now.
When can ICE be sued for all this nonsense, all this property damage? All the violence and murder?
Suing isn't enough. When this regime falls, the people must not accept anything less than a total seizure of all wealth and personal assets belonging to any member of ICE and members of 47's regime, including any other significant backers of the 47 regime. Leave each of them with nothing to their name except literally the clothes on their backs.
There must be no exceptions, unlike at Nuremberg when many escapes justice due to exceptions.
Then distribute the seized wealth to both rebuild the country and its institutions, and to pay compensation to victims and families of victims of this regime.

45-54: $247.2k vs $975.8k (1:3.95)

65-74: $409.9k vs $1790k (1:4.37)
Over 74: $335.6k vs $1620k (1:4.82)
That's a pretty tight range across cohorts. So what's the point of the observation about the elderly? The disparity is highest in that group, but it isn't wildly different. If anything, the story here is "get rich early or you probably won't at all" - which has no bearing at all on older people because that is now in the past...

As recently as this past December the American Academy of Pediatrics reiterated its opposition to state and federal restrictions on the euphemistically named "Gender Affirming Care", using the rubric of physician-patient confidentiality and touting their solidarity with other medical organizations.
"Proposed restrictions to gender-affirming care are a ‘baseless intrusion into the patient-physician relationship’ "
https://is.gd/JxXO4O
The AAP is among the many major medical organizations including the American Medical Association (AMA) and World Health Organization that support access to gender-affirming care.
It will be interesting to see how the AAP responds now that they stand shoulder to shoulder with...well.... nobody. It would not surprise me at all if they double down on their radical position.

When called on the fact that staples of leftwing thought now - open borders, abolish the police, or transing kids weren't a common leftwing belief in say 2012 the answer was...but there were some people that believed those things...even if they were just posting on tumblr!
Which doesn't answer the question. Elon's picture argues the left has gone further left. Issue by issue analysis agrees. But we now have the left using the classic proof by ancedote fallacy.
And yes, again, the same people arguing the left hasn't moved farther left also argued that of course they've learned things unlike those rightwingers that can't learn which...is just a nicer way of making Elon's point.

On leftwing forums you can still find them arguing Renee Good had a right to hit the ICE agent because he walked in front of her car in a thread next to them being outraged that a driver in MN hit an anti-ICE protestor who walked in front of the car.

I don't know if it's, necessarily, "get rich early". I saw something a couple weeks back that said that most millionaires got there slowly. Entertains, athletes, and stroke of lightning billionaires skew every age. More likely it's "learn to live within your means young or you probably won't at all".

And the underlying data support that. But the ratio is very close across cohorts.
And yeah, my comment was ambiguous AF. Apologies for that. What I meant wasn't exactly "hit the big time in your twenties," but rather "work to open that net-worth gap in your twenties." That requires discipline, work, smarts and in most cases, a bit of luck. That doesn't mean you're a millionaire by your 30s, but it does mean you're quite a lot richer - on paper, anyway - than your peers by the time you exit your 20s.
Which makes sense. Wealth builds over time, but you have to feed it rather than eat it. That requires you to have something to feed it (have a decent job, etc.) and that you have the restraint to not eat it (have discipline). If you can do that early, it has a good chance of persisting.
Which isn't new.

This is a common Dem "negotiation" strategy. Fight like hell against anything you don't want even if it doesn't matter.
This of course contrasts with the GOPe strategy of "agree to give them everything they want and in return only ask for the minimum thing we want" as their starting ask...
Trump is far, far better at this then the GOPe, of course, unlike them he actually wants to change things in a conservative direction

Project Veritas had an undercover video of a higher-up Dem GoTV guy in 2016 where he admitted they've been busing people across the borders on election day to do same day registration/voting in multiple states. They also temporarily move people across the country so that they are residing in a swing state on election day. If you have to show ID then you show your *residency* as well as your real name.
Also means you can't vote under someone else's name, which happens: someone goes to vote and they are told they've already voted. They can fill out a provisional ballot, IIRC, but their legit vote doesn't count.

Trolls focus on words. Real men focus on deeds.
Trump SAYS a lot of stupid shit. It gets people running around with their hair on fire (I should try that and see if it's good for gainzzzz). Then he quietly continues doing what he's been doing.
Trump says "kinder and gentler". Trump also signs order saying that deportation orders cannot be appealed. Trump's deportation lieutenants are NOT saying "kinder and gentler".
It helps to pay attention.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at February 06, 2026 09:10 AM (ExV1e)
Yeah, but...everyone knows the Art of Politics is using the most inflammatory, inciting, and harsh language possible to describe the policies you want or are carrying out.
Like say, deporting illegal aliens.
Instead of calling it "deporting illegal aliens", the savvy politician, which Trump is not!!!, would say-
"throwing the scum of the earth into fiery burn-pits filled with industrial waste and diarrhea , then shooting them in the back and throwing their children into hamburger grinders"
That's the way Trump should do things.
I hope this helps.

From above: "U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has announced that a small team of American military personnel has been sent to Nigeria to aid the African nation in counter-terrorism operations."
Where's the UN been?!
In May 2025, The Daily Trust wrote: 'Over 200,000 Nigerian troops, civilians served in 41 peacekeeping missions — UN'
In part, "No fewer than 200,000 Nigerian troops, police, and civilians have served in 41 UN, AU, and ECOWAS missions since 1960, according to UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Mr. Mohamed M. Malick Fall.
He made this statement yesterday as the United Nations marked 77 years of peace operations and 65 years of Nigeria’s contribution to UN peacekeeping operations.
Speaking at UN House in Abuja during the commemoration event themed “Fit for the Future, Building Better Together,” Mr. Fall emphasized Nigeria’s long-standing commitment to peacekeeping.
“Nigeria has consistently demonstrated strong leadership and dedication in maintaining global peace, from Liberia and Sierra Leone to Darfur and Mali,” he stated, praising Nigeria’s contributions."

There have been UN Peacekeepers in Liberia and DRC for decades: (UNMIL: 2003–201
and in the DRC (MONUSCO: 2010–Present). And BOTH nations now serve on the UN Security Council as part of the African Group, significantly shaping regional security and peacekeeping strategies.
(Aside: Further, many former or dual citizenship residents of Liberia reside in the US where they're now into multi- generations in certain regions and hold prominent civic offices, operate non-profits, etc. )
In July 2022, Liberia officially recognized dual citizenship, allowing individuals of Liberian descent to hold both Liberian and U.S. citizenship. The new law signed by President George Weah reversed a 1973 ban, permitting natural-born Liberians to retain their nationality after acquiring another.
In the US Liberia remains covered in the US under Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) through June 30, 2026, and the DRC continues to be a top source of Refugees.

Because the UN PAYS for every peacekeeper a country provides. Using mostly US taxpayer dollars. It's a huge cash cow for small nations, which is why tiny little places like Fiji have armies.
If the US leaves the UN, no one else is dumb enough to step up and provide funding, which means that all UN Peacekeeping ops cease to exist.

- Nvidia will not be releasing any new video cards this year. (Tom's Hardware)
Their money is all tied up in not investing in OpenAI.
They aren't likely to release anything new next year either. The 5000 Super series appears to be dead and the 6000 series has been pushed back to 2028.
That leaves the field wide open for AMD to fumble.
- Valve meanwhile will be releasing its new Steam Cube this year, just not quite yet. (Liliputing)
Real soon now though.

- If you already have an Nvidia graphics card, congratulations! (Tom's Hardware)
The latest Windows 11 update causes major problems, including reduced performance and graphics glitches.
You can roll it back but the same update patches 114 security holes.
- It's 2026. Just use Postgres. (Tigerdata)
Postgres is something of a database construction kit, but that is likely still less work than (as in the example provided) running seven different databases.
- There are multiple critical flaws in n8n, whatever that is. (Bleeping Computer)
So what counts as critical these days?According to Pillar Security, exploiting CVE-2026-25049 enables complete compromise of the n8n instance and could be leveraged to run arbitrary system commands on the server, steal all stored credentials, secrets (API keys, OAuth tokens), and sensitive configuration files.
Yeah, sounds pretty critical to me.

When they say "tech jobs" it may not necessarily mean actual coders but people of unclear purposes hired as DEI quota filling.
There is a remarkable amount of specialization these days. Was eavesdropping in on a "technical meeting" between a third party and the bank on integrating a payment system into a mobile app. 65 people. Probably only needed 10 at most. Lots of people with "Director" and "Manager" in the titles, and exactly zero of them had anything to contribute, and nothing of value to receive.
Heard a bunch of "We need to check on that" which means the people who knew what was going on were not there.
Had a quick five minute with the architect on the mobile team following, and he has one person working on a PoC. One person.

That is socialist crap. If you are in an enterprise, you want to be paid less than your are worth so the enterprise can be profitable and you get to keep your job.

Who knows. Maybe they won't! Maybe Intel won't, either. And then when Nvidia comes back to the consumer market after the AI bubble collapses, it will only have, say, 70% market share. That would be great, because then "only runs properly on Nvidia" would be less appealing for developers, since that means leaving 30% of the market experiencing a substandard product.
An "Nvidia and the two dwarfs" situation wouldn't be a terrible outcome. If neither competitor fumbles. My money - if I were betting - would be on Intel not fumbling. They're still focused on consumer, business general and non-AI datacenter. They might end up laughing all the bank by default when the AI bubble comes to an end - its recent malaise notwithstanding.

None of it was playing out like it was supposed to in the Western countries this nonsense was supposed to naturally develop in. The proletariat in the industrial economies simply failed to develop the class consciousness as predicted, and socialism was only able to emerge by force in an agrarian monarchy several steps behind the bourgeois capitalist stage of the self-referential fantasy.
Since then, it's all been about major overhauls of the fantasy to include the institutional vanguards, the emergence of fascism, and of course the replacement of the uncooperative proletariat that had so disappointed the fantasists - so we got this mutated racial and cultural Marxism.
The "working class" ceased being the focus of Western Marxists a hundred years ago.

An Ogdensburg taxidermist has completed restoration work on the oldest creature of his career: a muskie caught in 1918 by a 92-year-old woman. The 50-inch fish was originally caught by Margaret Harden just off Wellesley Island. The catch made the newspaper at the time. Captivated by the story, Frances O’Tool commissioned the restoration. “At 92, I just thought that was gumption and it’s a very, very fun story,” O’Tool said. O’Tool received the muskie from a family friend who was one of Harden’s descendants. Time had taken its toll on the mounted fish. “It was sagging. It was discolored. It looked like a big sweatsock kind of,” O’Tool said.TV news segment video at the link. ----- From fish to Florida
In the annals of record-breaking animals, there is big, and then there is Florida python big. Leave it to a professional python hunter to encounter one of the more impressive specimens in the history of the Sunshine State. Capturing this creature required a hard-fought battle, during which a professional python hunter was dragged over an anthill. Some people may even consider this an injustice. The truth, however, requires an understanding of the Florida Everglades, the invasive species that have taken over its ecosystem, and the people who answer the call to combat a problem that is growing out of control. Let’s learn more about Carl Jackson and how his foray into the Everglades in search of one particular invasive species led him to capture the second-largest python ever found in Florida’s history. *** Carl Jackson is one of the few people in Florida equipped for dealing with these massive, monstrous invasive snakes. He is a licensed, full-time python hunter with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Jackson was on assignment in the Everglades on the afternoon of January 13 when he came across a sizable specimen. As reported by USA Today, Jackson was traveling on Turner River Road in Big Cypress National Park when he saw a Burmese python’s tracks snaking across the road. Jackson assumed they were from a smaller python, perhaps eight or nine feet long. Jackson headed into the vegetation to get a closer look. He told the Naples Daily News, “I go in [to the bushes] and walk around, and I see a head.” In an instant, Jackson knew he was dealing with a much larger snake than he expected. He started wrestling with it, but the snake easily dragged him back over a red-and-black anthill. He said, “It was like riding a slow horse. It was insane.”Long article at the link. Check out the whole thing. ----- Both of these articles hit my feed today. I have no idea if they're directly related. Probably. I just can't bring myself to read about these boondoggles. Maybe one of you will read them and give us an overview? Engineers confirm construction has begun on a vast underwater rail line designed to link entire continents through a deep-sea tunnel
Bold vision or reckless fantasy: engineers race to build a high-speed train under the ocean, promising to link two continents in minutes and split public opinion

Americans across the political and racial spectrum overwhelmingly support voter ID, at a rate of about 80% in favor.
John Thune desperately needs excuses to ignore the opinions of the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Won't you help? Send John Thune, John Cornyn and RINO, Inc. your list of reasons for continuing to enable voting fraud. Because without vote fraud, Republicans might see such strong majorities that they'd feel obligated to actually do something for America.

He, also, told me he tried selling it one time before, but it ended badly. The guy turned into a fly. I'm not sure that's 100% truthful either. God, I hope not.
There's another bidder. Some guy named Rottenberry, or something like that. But, that guy seems a little strung out. He keeps talking about a humanoid with no emotions, pointy ears who makes gang signs with his hands. I'm guessing LSD.

Every day. Cannot live without laughing, loudly, without restraint. We read each others minds at this point. Hardly a day goes by that I don't make him laugh or vice versa. Granted, looks are very important, but if you are not funny, nope!
The one guy before him heard me laughing before he saw me...and said he was hooked when he met my laughing eyes.
Sometimes I wish my laugh was not as unrestrained and, well, loud. No soft chuckles. Up and down scales til completion or choke laugh. I have been assured it is not Woody Woodpecker or hyena sounding.
One of our DIL's is a soft chuckler, but laughs til she tears up. I think the baby is like this, too. Vs her big sister who laughs loudly like me. We are quite the pair when we get going.

You should be spending more time with your sailboat.
I bet she's not laughing right now because you've literally kept her tied up and not let her go out and let the wind blow in her sails and told her you were going to take her on a crazy adventure. Girls love that shit and they are built for it.
If you don't get your shit together Chad is going to swoop in and steal her heart and once the heart of a sailboat is gone you're screwed.
You owe me $10 for the counseling.

A belt sander with an 80 grit belt usually will take care of most rashes, If it persists you could always slap a hot iron to it.
If you are a sissy there is an ointment I get smuggled out of Mexico.
My doctor checked it out and she said it is not to be used on humans.
It has been the only thing other abrasives and fire that has worked. One application once a day for two days...gone.

.......................................
My brother was the only person on the planet I trusted to kill snakes for me. Maybe my other brother would, but this one was always unfazed.
Once my husband had been fishing with him and was standing near the boat on our lake. My bro told him, "Don't move." He then found a limb and beat the crap out of a copperhead a foot from my husband. It was lightening fast and he barely moved (I don't know where the limb came from and he probably had a gun). Stuff like that.
In college I'd be hanging out drinking beers in his boat as he fished. Taking photos and yapping. A water moccasin would appear and ugly head would swim towards us. I would lift my legs, like that would help. My brother would tell me, "It can't get in the boat with us." And we'd argue because I said it could. Then he said he'd kill it and I got over it.
I am positive it could get in the boat if it was only me out there...this is how much I hate them. All of them. I don't care what kind they are.

He said he was driving along the Airline Hwy and felt something going up his pants leg.
Said he pulled over and leapt out to the median and dropped his pants yelling at the snake, and dancing around like a lunatic in his underwear in rush hour traffic.A pine snake, whatever that is.
He said the following Sunday his pastor told him he saw the whole thing and wondered what was going on.
I would have wrecked the car and died right there in the car with the snake in my pants. I would hope someone could figure out why.
The idea of a FL python coming up toilets terrified me for years,and I told my husband to put that as the reason I had a cardiac arrest in my obituary.

One of the major factors is the ability to store what is called "raw helium" which is a mixture of around 60% helium and nitrogen and hydrogen which is a direct product of the last stages of natural gas production.
The raw helium is then sent to a specialized process that separates out the hydrogen and nitrogen and then depending on the market is either distributed or stored in an extensive complex ofv underground caverns.

I can pull it off when I need to...the refined part, & throw in my polite drawl.
However, people who really know me, well, know I am capable of laughing totally inappropriately in public or at a funeral.
My father once told me, smiling, that he did not think I was afraid of the devil. I thought a bit & agreed (this was during an epic argument we were having).
I almost went screaming down a hill at my FIL's dignified funeral, in the midst of the priest blessing the grave, due to a yellow jacket messing with me. Stuff like that.
If it's funny there is nothing on earth to stop me. Heaven forbid if I meet my husband, son's, or brother's eyes, then laughter is busting out.
My aunt died & at her quiet wake the weirdest cousin's second husband (probably a criminal) yelled, "QUIET!"for the funeral ghoul. No one had met him before. I was in another room and went to find my brother to ask who was that? I fell on his shoulder laughing and we pretended I was overcome with grief.

🚨 “NUMBER THREE”: Secretary Scott Bessent Triggers “Wrath” During Tense House Exchange 🏛️⚖️
A heated moment from today’s House Financial Services Committee hearing is going viral after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outmaneuvered a rigid line of questioning from Representative Joyce Beatty (D-OH).
Rep. Beatty attempted to box the Secretary into a corner regarding housing funds and the administration's budget, insisting he abide by her "rules" for the exchange.
She told Bessent he had only three choices: "You will say 'yes,' 'no,' or 'I’m not answering, move on'".
Rather than being flustered, Bessent calmly selected her third option, replying simply: "Uh—number three".
This response sent her marble-running-on-a-circular-track brain clear off the rails. The fun began at 2:08.

The smoking lounge was maintained with negative air pressure in the room so air would blow in when the door was opened and no hat ash would escape. I want to say the ashtray I saw sold around $250K, but it was quite a while ago.

Then cross-reference that with R/k theory of the evo-psych of politics, wolf vs. rabbit in life plans and concomitant voting instincts. It's a lot.

They're a minimum of 3 1/2 inches, so they are big. I glass bead them, clean them up, and poof, ashtray. My fav was a panhead pan, but it kinda vanished during the move.

The Amarillo Helium Plant continued operations until 1998 when the closure process began due to the Helium Privatization Act of 1996. The plant was significant for producing helium from natural gas and was a major supplier until its eventual closure
1996: The Helium Privatization Act mandated the sale of the Federal Helium Reserve, which included the Amarillo plant. This act aimed to reduce the federal helium stockpile.
1998: The Amarillo Helium Plant began its closure process as part of the privatization efforts.
2006: The site was declared surplus property and auctioned off, marking the end of its operational status.
Bill Clinton and George Bush II
Current Status
Today, the Amarillo Helium Plant is privately owned and awaits rehabilitation. It remains a historically significant site in the Texas Panhandle, reflecting the evolution of helium production in the U.S.
The Amarillo Helium Plant crucial in the global helium market, producing nearly all of the world's helium supply from 1929 until 1943. ...operated continuously - was the first commercial helium plant, significantly contributing helium production for military n industrial uses until closure 1998

Meet exoplanet HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-2 about 146 ly away recently discovered:
https://is.gd/hmXTCD
The planet is about one earth radius in size, and has an orbital period around it's star of about 355 days. Mass is probably slight larger than earth. Surface gravity should be pretty close to 1g.
Now, the problem is the star is a K3.5V star, only about 20% of the luminosity of the sun, so this puts it at the very edge of the habitable zone. It could be colder than Mars. Or it could be as warm as earth, depending on the atmosphere.

From the article:
The planet’s orbital distance, so similar to Earth’s, means such transits happen far less often than for planets in tighter orbits around their stars (it’s a big reason why exoplanets with Earth-like orbits are so hard to detect in the first place).
>>>I'm confused. Wouldn't a smaller orbit make transits happen more often?

* goes to lookup where that is located *
"The Jerusalem recreation featured in The Chosen is located in Goshen, Utah, within Utah County. This 3-acre set, officially known as the Motion Picture Studio South Campus, was constructed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and began development in 2010. It serves as a lifelike replica of ancient Jerusalem, including key locations such as the Pool of Bethesda, the Jordan River, and the Garden of Gethsemane."
Nope, Porcupine Ridge is about 220 miles and four hours to the southeast (by vehicle) from Goshen.

Yes, exactly. The transit method is very productive for planets very close, much closer than earth orbit distance. There are several methods used to look for exoplanets and the transit method is just one of them. The orbital plane has to be aligned just right from our perspective here on earth for the planet to pass right in front of the star.

Today I was able to talk to my only sister, from whom I have been estranged for more than twenty years.
She is in a very bad way medically. But still, I got to talk to my big sister. And I believe that we both drew solace and curing from the conversation.
Glory be to God!

Good for you both, Bulg!
I have a similar story: was estranged from a drug addict brother for a couple of decades, when he out-of-the-blue looked me up on the interwebz and sent me a letter asking if we could speak.
By some miracle, he was (1) still alive; (2) not in jail; and (3) had been sober for three years -- and that was three years ago.
He found a good Christian woman who has helped him stay on the straight and narrow, and now that he's in Texas (near Tyler) -- I got to visit with him when we attended the MoMe last October.
He's the only survivor I have from my nuclear family ...

Less than a mile from here is Elk Mountain. There haven't been elk here in 300 years.
As an aside:
"Wood bison (often referred to historically as "wood buffalo" or simply buffalo in regional context) were once native to West Virginia, particularly in the western and central parts of the state, but were hunted to extinction in the region by the early 19th century. The last recorded wild bison in West Virginia was killed near Valley Head in Randolph County in 1825. "

"Nineteen Eighty-Four on the floor"
When the Amelia meme first hit, one of the early contributors was a SubStack I subscribe to called "Postcards From Barsoom" by "John Carter" (a brilliant analyst and writer for our times).
Anywho, I posted the following comment there to his post about a month ago entitled "Amelia Sans Merci: Summoning the Tulpa of Remigration with industrial quantities of AI image slop":
"Does Taylor Sheridan (or anybody who knows him or works with him on the TV series "Landman") read this excellent SubStack and essay?
Because after the epic beatdown of Ainsley's ambiguously gay #Woke tranny snowflake mentally-ill roommate, it would be epic if they introduce the Ainsley character in Season 3 with a purple-colored bob -- and have her 'identify' as Amelia."

Regardless, his basement man cave would have been noisy with all of those hard surfaces and mechanicals.

I was working in an old office that had carpets assembled from 1'x1' squares. A few squares under my chair had come loose and it drove me crazy. So I got a tube of that construction adhesive and tacked it all down nice. Our area was scheduled for reno and we were all moved out. I came back many months later to check out the work and everything was cleared out. A big open void wall to wall, ceiling slabs down to the concrete. Except for one small area where my few squares of glued down carpet still remained.

Everything you do, for most crypto currencies is publicly viewable by the whole world via the block chain. You move large sums regularly? Everyone in the world can see that. Now by see, I mean they see a particular currency address on the receiving end. But crypto is the opposite of private. If you are ever dumb enough to comingle your personhood, ie. name, location, who you are with that currency public address you become a target. People will do this by being on a social web site and posting their receiving currency address for whatever reason. Generally a bad idea.

When I moved to PR a friend of a friend let me crash for a few days on his semi-enclosed patio. Semi is the important word in that sentence.
The first night I woke up to a skittering noise. Turned on my flashlight to see the walls and ceiling covered with Palmet .. Giant Frigging Cockroaches and geckos covering the walls and ceiling.

I was awakened in the middle of the night by an odd crunching sound. The sound stopped when I turned on the light so I went back to bed and sure enough the crunch, crunch started again.
I ended up getting a flashlight and tracked down the source.
On a window still was a monster Palmetto bug chowing down on a buddy of his that had died and dried out.

Aren't the iguanas something like a pest in Florida? Invasive or whatever? I've seen some pretty weird Florida man stuff with the iguanas...
But... it's their culture. So I'll not judge.

After we fixed that horrible floor my mom saw it in a whole new light and had her own vision, which entailed changing every cubic inch of a couple large rooms, to include:
1.) A vast stretch of tile floor
2.) Over 100 sq. ft. of stone countertops
3.) The largest pantry you've ever seen
4.) A Bosch double-oven, six-burner Blue Star range, and a Chambers oven/range
5.) Various custom cabinetry
6.) And much more
This took blood, sweat, toil, tears, time and $$$ to carry off. But it was worth it. It was amazing. You could butcher a cow and cook it up in comfort and style in that kitchen.
Less than five years after completing this white elephant, my parents decided to move.
It still grinds my gears whenever I think about it.

So here's how it works out, they use chemicals or pumps or whatever to make their junk larger when they are getting sized for their skin tight ski suits. And then, after their junk deflates it creates pockets in their suit's crotch-ular area, like a dick sail, I guess, that adds a few counts of lift and eeks out a bit more distance.

Not good enough. You have to describe the stump with every word in the english language...twice. You have to describe the walk TO the stump, and describe every leaf..of every tree.. and how the sun reflects on them every fucking hour of the day. Oh, is there wind? Gotta talk about the wind. How else can you explain the magic epileptic ballet dance the leaves are doing for next 13 pages. Oooh oooh are their any clouds? How much room you get left in that book? Maybe just get back to the stump, and spend a few pages describing the bark.

I had a full-grown black walnut cut down next to my garage, and neglected to include its stump on the grinder list. When the upper part of the flush-cut turned out to be in the way of a patio walk extension, my hired hand and I lit into it, just to get it down a few inches below grade. With axe, augers, chisels and several kinds of power saws, it took two of us a whole day just to reduce it that much -- and I said screw it and took a chance with the major roots around it. We built a planter over what was left. Boring through and building under that rat's nest would have taken weeks, at least. Every one of those one-foot diameter lobes would have had to be hand-hewn.

Another One of Biden's Third World Assassins Kills Four in Highway Massacre
He was given a commercial drivers license by "moderate" Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro.
And he's now murdered four people. Doing the murders Americans just won't do.The driver of a semi-truck at the center of a multi-vehicle crash that left four dead in Indiana is in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after a detainer was placed on him. Indiana State Police said the fatal crash happened Tuesday around 4 p.m. in the area of State Road 67 and County Road 550 East in Jay County, where the truck collided with a van. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News that driver Bekzhan Beishekeev is a Kyrgyzstani national who entered the U.S. via the Biden-era CBP One cell phone app on Dec. 19, 2024, at the Nogales, Ariz., port of entry, and he was released into the U.S. via parole by the Biden administration. Beishekeev, 30, was reportedly driving on SR 67 in Indiana when he didn't stop for another slowed semi-truck, swerving instead into oncoming traffic and crashing head-on into a van, killing four people, several of whom were reportedly Amish. ... Indiana State Police, citing the Jay County Coroner's Office, identified the four victims killed in the collision as Henry Eicher, 50, Menno Eicher, 25, Paul Eicher, 19, and Simon Girod, 23 of Bryant, Ind. ... "Not only was Bekzhan Beishekeev released into our country by the Biden administration using the CBP One app, but he was also given a commercial driver's license by Governor Shapiro's Pennsylvania. These decisions have had deadly consequences and led to the death of four innocent people in Indiana on Tuesday," added DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement. "It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don't know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating semi-trucks on America's roads. These sanctuary governors must stop giving illegal aliens commercial driver's licenses before another American gets killed."
BREAKING: 4 people kiIIed in Indiana after truck driver crashed into their car.

The driver, Bekzhan Beishekeev, is a Kyrgyzstani national whom Biden imported into our country. He now has an ICE detainer hold.

What I really fear is, if too many more Americans are killed by all this diversity, that some of our diversity may be sent back to the country where they were born.

"Oh, I screwed up. I guess I'll just turn around on the entrance ramp here and be right back where everything went wrong."
HAS to be another imported driver.
No American trucker would even think about it, unless he was drunk or high.
That guy in Florida last year that tried to do a U-turn on an interstate was basically doing the same thing when those people in the van were killed.
Apparently these idiots never think to turn around off the next exit.
There's a lot of cargo container traffic coming from the Port of Charleston. That means a lot of truckers on the only two interstates here; I-26 and I-526. I'm thrilled that I don't have to travel on either of them often anymore.

A similar thing happened in Colorado a few years ago. Illegal non English speaking truck driver came flying down a mountain pass at 70 mph caused a big pileup where several people were killed and injured. He got 10 years. And then the Democrat governor gave him a pardon after 1 or 2 years.

I ordinarily would not like the idea but as long as other states give away CDLs to anyone and everyone like candy, even foreign nationals...well, other states shouldn't have to play the game or put their citizens in danger.

Apparently these trucker firms are known as "Chameleon Carriers/Networks" and the things they are doing are easy to find and well-known among the trucking community.
A chameleon carrier operation is about concealment. It’s about constructing a network of entities designed to evade regulatory detection and enforcement. The connective tissue can be any combination of shared Vehicle Identification Numbers moving between authorities, common officers or registered agents across multiple DOT numbers, identical or overlapping phone numbers and email addresses, the same branding and logos regardless of which company name appears on the door, common insurance brokers and policies, shared Electronic Logging Device infrastructure, overlapping financial services and accounting providers, coordinated recruitment pipelines from the same geographic origin, sequential authority registrations suggesting pre-planned entity creation, and shared terminal facilities where multiple authorities operate from the same physical location.

Middle America fly away country used to dominate trucking. Then asshole firms in sanctuary states started to use cheap illegal foreign labor and drove wages down to the point that many Americans got out of the industry. Especially owner operators.
In return these firms hire incompetent labor that kill people, minimal safety standards, and even are involved in arranging truck cargo hijackings by acting as illegal subcontractors between the shipper and recipient via trucking brokers.
US DOT needs to stomp on every blue state and the few red states issuing licenses to illegals and non English speakers and running CDL mills. And operators of those businesses need to face jail time and loss of their ill gotten wealth by fines.

I've seen quite a few lawsuits with plain folks involved reported. It really depends on their local bishop as it is more a group of shared beliefs among the Amish and Mennonites that in particulars relies on the local bishop for application of those beliefs to specific circumstances.
A lot more variation than one would expect and for seemingly inexplicable reasons that would cause bishops to differ. Sort of like Orthodox and Ultra Orthodox Judaism's reliance on rabbinical guidance on specific instances.

Read just today of this and there are trucking companies, called "chameleons" who frequently change names so that they can't be tracked. I guess if you see one and report it there is a problem finding their name on a data base?
Saw a video of a Hwy Patrol officer pulling over a semi in Arkansas. He had a laptop of road signs, etc, and this illegal couldn't speak nor read English.
Then the back of the semi revealed it packed with illegals.
I hope this is stopped today. Now.

I know you hate NAFTA and free trade like many statists here, but they kept pushing back permission for Mexican truck drivers to enter the country. When I went to truck driving school, we found out that most Meixcan truck drivers go as far as...a trailer yard on the other side of the border to pick up a trailer to tow it deep into Mexico's interior.
Only recently have I seen Mexican trucks on the road (AFTER the evil NAFTA!!!) and even then, the ratio between them and Canadian truck drivers are about 100:1 (Canadian to Mexican), at least that I have seen on the Interstates I frequent.
Never let a crisis go to waste I guess...

Yes and no. DoT certifications matter in interstate trucking so Duffy has control over that like enforcing the existing law that CDL drivers must be fluent in English before licensing and driving. Even more for hazardous materials.
But local traffic and a lot of normal CDL licensing practices for interstate trucking have been left to the states for regulation and when those states let those gypsy trucking firms flourish then they end up killing people.
Owners need to be considered accessories before the fact and go to jail too for employing incompetent drivers doing illegal shit.

Since I've been working as an independent contract courier (driving my own car, not a big rig) for 13 years around the highways of Northern AZ, I've been using a couple of apps: (1) obviously, Google Maps which of course tracks me; and (2) an Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) App to identify and attempt to avoid road construction, accidents, and/or closures.
The latter has alerts, which send text messages to my phone when new incidents arrive and are subsequently cleared.
At least once a week I'll get an alert that there's some idiot driving the wrong way on one of the highways here (more than likely cars, but now I wonder how many are big rigs)?
Another anecdote: when I see DPS (formerly Highway Patrol) after pulling over a big rig, half the time the drivers are wearing turbans (and I can't remember the last time I saw a white dude or dudette) -- and now there are Indian restaurants virtually everywhere on freeways all across the nation.

West African and Asian populations are extensive in the county and in the state. (And obvious at the DMVs.)
Philly takes in immigrants & then nudges them into collar counties via non-profit corporations, etc. and that's how the ring counties are also picking them up - NP corporations, etc.
Pennsylvania congressional redistricting, particularly the 2022 map, maintains a split in the Philadelphia region, placing parts of the city into districts with neighboring counties. (The 5th Congressional District includes portions of Philadelphia, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, while other districts, like the 1st, connect Bucks and Montgomery counties.)
Same with Allegheny county in western PA. The city of Pittsburgh is often split into different congressional districts to connect its dense urban population with suburban and rural areas, sometimes resulting in districts that span multiple counties.

I have a huge bruise and lump on my left hand. I did not hit it with anything, bump it into anything, or have any other sort of accident. It has gotten steadily bigger over the course of the week.
So, I went to urgent care to see if they could figure out how it occurred and how not to do that again.
The nurse practitioner had me take three xrays, and stated that there was no bone damage, so she figured I probably hit it on something and it would go away on its own. She said she didn't have an MRI to check the soft tissue but I was free to go to the ER and have them... tell me that same damned thing, I expect.
Huh. Here it is three days later and it is still there and still growing. Do I waste my time going to someone else or do I just wait and hope for the best? Honestly, why did young little miss nurse think that was going to be a good answer? Which specialist is the one for "lump in hand and big ol' bruise"?

But for the spinal surgery, don't really want to travel and have top surgeons nearby to do it. Did get a second opinion from a top neurosurgeon who is a head of department of a medical school in neurology and he agreed with my surgeon about what needed to be done and the quality of my chosen surgeon.

My chiropractor managed to keep me from central canal stenosis for the last 6 years that I have seen her. She is clinical professor at the local chiropractic college but sees patients on the side to keep her license up to date.
I have really bad foraminal stenosis of peripheral nerves but yet only mild to moderate canal stenosis depending on which part of the spine we are talking about. Up to 8 herniated and deteriorating discs and counting. Four lumbar, one thoracic, and three cervical. The operation will be on the cervical section to remove teh crud impinging on my nerves.

Thanks. My only worry is whether or not it works. My wife though is worried sick and I am going through everything to produce a doom file if things go pear shaped. Good practice to do so to make things tidy.
Only problem will be inventorying, prices, and pictures of all the firearms if she had need of selling them.

I have really bad foraminal stenosis of peripheral nerves but yet only mild to moderate canal stenosis depending on which part of the spine we are talking about. Up to 8 herniated and deteriorating discs and counting. Four lumbar, one thoracic, and three cervical. The operation will be on the cervical section to remove teh crud impinging on my nerves.

Quite, the key there is developing judgement about safety ratios and distances and if need be making the hard decision to take the truck into the safest empty spot.
Foreign drivers do not understand American rules of the road to develop proper safe judgement and thus wind up being 42 ton missiles.

I could take the pain but not the loss of strength, that is what tipped me into getting the surgery. Lost a lot of grip strength and coordination in the last year or so. Had to carefully document that it was not any peripheral impingement before I could get insurance to pay for the spinal cleanout.

Thx pawn. The funny thing is I went to Mayo's Pain clinic about a year ago. I was already doing most all of the non drug techniques they used for pain reduction because I literally hate drugs that mess with my mind with a passion.
On the other hand, I have ice packs and heating pads galore. Plus doggies. Petting and loving on them can somehow through doggie magic reduce the felt pain. We really don't often deserve the unconditional love that dogs give us. Same with the Lord.

Because I was bored when I had knee surgery and was in a soft cast for awhile, I practiced mental imagery as in viewing pain as a colors--fiery red for nerve zingers, crushing pain as purple, and no pain as blue. So I would mentally try to reduce inflammation in the knee by treating it mentally as a ballon and imagine myself squeezing the ballon to let out the pressure.
Used a temperature gauge as inflammation of joints can show up on those infrared temp gauges. It actually did lower the heat and inflammation a bit by doing that regularly. Breathing helps me to deal with nerve pain zingers.

"Will You Shut Up!:" Low-IQ DEI Congresswoman Maxine Waters "Asks a Question" of Scott Bessent, Then Tells Him to Shut Up When He Answers
I don't know what this low-executive-function brain-damaged dementia patient's point was. She recalls Bessent's previous statement that there is no evidence that tariffs are inflationary, and then says... I think her whole argument is that "if you tax coffee and bananas, that's inflationary," therefore that's a contradiction of your statement. She sets this up as if Bessent has made contradictory statements, but the "contradiction" is just her assertion that if you tax coffee and bananas, that's inflationary. Bessent replies that the source of inflation are the "10 to 20 million illegal aliens" that Joe Biden let into the country, who then drove up prices, at which point this, um, public servant hisses "Will you shut up!"It's very obvious that she has dementia and does not understand the words that her aides wrote for her and does not understand the "argument" she's making.
Rep. Waters, the ranking member on the committee, was grilling Bessent on whether President Trump's tariffs were inflationary and harmful to consumers, suggesting they amounted to a "war on American consumers." She pressed him on whether he would act as a "voice of reason" in the administration and urge Trump to reduce or eliminate the tariffs to lower costs for Americans. "Will you be the voice of reason in the administration and urge Trump to stop waging a war on American consumers?" Waters asked. "Yes or no?" "You seem confused as to the definition of inflation," Bessent began before Waters interupted, and repeated her question. The exchange quickly devolved into both officials talking over one another. Bessent argued that the Biden administration had "let in between 10 and 20 million immigrants," who he said went on to consume housing that would otherwise have gone to working Americans.

Mass deportation is deflationary, by the way.

We also know they're playing with various pathogens (including fungi) that are designed to wipe out wheat and maize.
What's crazy is they need our food. They cannot feed themselves. If US agriculture ceases to export huge quantities of food, they are the ones who will starve.

Posted by: Thomas Paine
Tariffs are a tax, no more, no less, but as to who pays them, it depends on a number of circumstances--substitution effect, supply/demand effects, macro effects like currency exchange rates, strategic decisions by the vendor to maintain market share and workforce, key decisions by importers as to whether or not shift supply chains to a lower cost producer, etc. etc.
For most part, tariffs of a large country become such a mess entangled with micro and macro factors that whether tariffs cause general inflation can't be answered as a general rule.
For individual products, perhaps in the short run, but in the long run, not so much.

They cannot cause inflation because they are a tax. No one thinks sales tax causes inflation even though it raises prices. It takes money out of circulation, reducing its velocity.
Deficit spending causes inflation, which is why even when we used hard currency, there would be inflation during wartime as the Crown spent all its reserves and then some. Deflation usually followed the conclusion of hostilities.

No one thought they were inflationary because they are not inflationary. Look at US price stability over the first 150 years. All that time we had tariffs, which were a major source of revenue for the US government, especially before there was a federal income tax.
They do not have to be prohibitive, and could be little more than a national sales tax on imports.
Inflation is caused by borrowing, typically during wartime. Decoupling the dollar from gold was what got it cooking, along with peacetime deficits, which were historically unknown.

@SpeakerJohnson
Republicans funded border security and immigration enforcement in the Working Families Tax Cut to clean up the chaos Democrats created after allowing 20 MILLION illegal aliens into our country — on purpose.
The Democrats are fully aware that if they block bipartisan DHS funding, it WILL NOT stop enforcement — but it WOULD leave Americans without FEMA’s help after disasters, and slow TSA security lines at airports across America.
This week, Democrats need to do the responsible thing and vote to keep DHS funded and operating for the American people.

The Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania has experienced a significant demographic shift, with a rapidly growing Latino and Hispanic population—particularly in Allentown and Bethlehem—playing a crucial role in supporting the region's manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing sectors. This influx of new residents has helped reverse older industrial population declines, providing a critical labor force for a manufacturing sector that has recently grown at three times the national rate.

Yes the additional illegal population increases demand, but the inflation was caused by increasing the money supply through borrowing and quantitative easing when our betters decided to give the illegals food stamps and housing allowances.

The Winter Olympics has long been a battleground for marginal gains. Just look at the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) banning the new helmets Great Britain had planned to wear next week due to their aerodynamic ridges.
Thursday, however, took things to a new level in Milan Cortina — ski jumpers allegedly injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly that little bit further.
The claims were originally reported in German newspaper Bild, in January on the eve of the latest Winter Olympics beginning in Italy and subsequently addressed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) president Witold Banka during a press conference.
So far, so lurid, but there is science behind the allegations. Injecting the penis with acid would increase its size and give the ski jumpers bigger genitalia at the point their suits are measured by 3D scanners.
Temporarily enhanced measurements would theoretically mean athletes being given a bigger, looser suit and, like a sail catching wind, could allow them to make longer jumps.

He got rid of the 2% inflation goal, and got rid of the LIBOR and got the SOFOR instituted so that London banks no long set the value to the US Dollar. For that he has done good things.
His not dropping the interest rate makes it expensive to borrow money, both for the USG and for the Euros, so that is kind of a wash.

You seem to be intentionally obtuse. Price increases are not necessarily a symptom of inflation.
Inflation is caused by intentionally devaluing currency (such as injecting trillions of dollars into the economy to support 10s of millions of foreign invaders). Inflation is caused by bad fiscal policy.
Tariffs are taxes. Tariffs do not devalue currency.

Price spikes due to surging demand is not inflation. It will equalize on its own (often with a spectacular crash).
The comic book bubble was not inflationary.

If the government prints and hands everyone $100,000 you feel richer but you're not. You're still bidding against everyone else for the same amount of cars, wheat, haircuts, and orange juice. So the price of those goes up. That's inflation.
Moving money from your pocket to the government's pocket isn't inflation. You are poorer, so you can buy fewer things. But the government is richer, so it can buy more things. The amount of dollars bidding for all the goods in the economy remains the same.

Well said. Now, tariffs might create inflation, but only if:
1) the producers don't decide to compensate with lowering their profit margins. If they do, the price to the consumer remains the same.
2) The consumers don't just switch to another product with lower tariffs. Say buying American.
3) The product is a luxury consumers can happily do without. Like French wines.
The only way tariffs can cause inflation is if none of those three things happen. What we seem to be seeing is all three of those things are happening. Imports are dropping, but that is not fueling inflation.

1) Low IQ congress people reading gotcha questions prepare din advance by their staff.
2) Very smart Trump cabinet members, who understand the topic and answer the questions in ways these dummies didn't expect.
3) Because they are dumb, and don't know what they are talking about, they either plod on and make points that don't make any sense or lash out at the cabinet person for making them look dumb.
Waters couldn't define a tariff with a dictionary and a speaking coach. Even if it was explained to her, she'll forget in about 10 minutes. Bessent disrupted the script, which is why she got angry - what else is she supposed to do, wing it? She has no clue what she's even asking.

Report: Fulton County, GA -- Home of Fanny Willis and Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq. -- Had 25,000 MoreAbsentee Votes in 2020 Than Absentee Voters
Whoops!
Whoopsie!Cleta MitchellThe full report is here. Roger Kimball at the Spectator: We're approaching the real endgame of the 2020 election.
@CletaMitchell And here's the REAL kicker about the 2020 Fulton County absentee ballots: 148,319 absentee ballots were counted in the 2020 General Election from Fulton County... but only 125,784 voters are recorded as casting an absentee ballot. There are 25,534 more ballots counted than there are voters recorded as having voted by absentee ballot in Fulton County in 2020. Remember: the margin between President Trump and Joe Biden was 11,779 votes...and that was the THIRD certified number and didn't match either of the first two counts....the counties could not get their numbers to match from the first count to the second to the third.....@GaSecofState Brad Raffensperger has NEVER explained that... The full report can be accessed here: @KevinMoncla
https://x.com/KevinMoncla/status/2016989656307367970?s=20
@EIwatchdogs @BasedMikeLee @chiproytx @gc22gc
As you know, 99% of the lawsuits filed to contest the rigged 2020 election were tossed out due to the judges deciding that the candidates in the races did not have "standing" -- a recognizable legal interest -- to challenge the rules which determine the outcome of the races. This was absurd then and it's absurd now. (And it was also very dishonest for the partisan Democrat media to bleat that judges had examined all of these allegations and found them meritless. No -- it dismissed the lawsuits without ever examining the allegations.) Three weeks ago, the Supreme Court injected some sanity back into election contests, determining that, yes, the actual candidates in elections do have legal standing to challenge election rules. Like whether or not you verify signatures or not.
In the 2020 election, Donald Trump was ahead in Georgia by some 100,000 votes until, vesto-presto, there were mysterious leaks with no water and, by George, Biden pulled ahead by some 11,000 votes. We all remember the allegations of election workers raising the alarm over the low count for Biden or apparently doing their utmost to increase his vote share, as well as the accounts of curiously pristine mail-in ballots. The FBI has a lot of sifting and sorting to accomplish in the weeks and months ahead. An ongoing court case claims that 150,000 mail-in ballots in Fulton County were suspicious (my cautious word for "fake") because they weren't creased and didn't look like they were marked by hand. Officially, Sleepy Joe was the first Democrat to gain more than 70 percent of the vote in Fulton since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. The FBI analysis of mail-in ballots might show him to be as popular in Fulton as Castro was in Cuba or Stalin was in the Soviet Union. There are also hard drives to be inspected and electronic voting machines to be vetted. Remember the allegations that voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems had been hacked? Dominion (now "Liberty Vote") collected some $787 million in damages from Fox News over the story. It will be interesting to see what sort of follow-up there is to those allegations. Meanwhile, the Democrats have not been idle. New York Representative Dan Goldman has filed an amendment to prevent the Trump administration from investigating election records, ballot boxes, and voting machines across the country. Yes, really. Been there, done that. "What difference, at this point, does it make?" as Hillary Clinton famously put it, on the matter of Benghazi. ... Commenting on the tsunami of news crashing out from Georgia, the great Cleta Mitchell, who advised President Trump when he contested the Georgia election results, noted that on the morning of election day, November 4, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Trump led by 103K votes with only 94K ballots left. "Four days later," Mitchell noted:The mask is being ripped off as I write. A Gestalt shift in The Narrative is underway.
[T]here were 300K more ballots, including 148K absentee ballots from Fulton County. That's 25,535 more ballots than voters, more than double Biden's margin. Over 133K ballot images were deleted. Zero of 148 Fulton County tabulators had the required tapes. Nearly 7K fictitious ballots remain certified, and no one investigated. Then there is the news about Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Grand jury testimony that was just unsealed revealed that Kemp told the chief of Georgia Bureau of Investigation not to investigation allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, Saying he was a "team player," the official dropped the case.
n a surprisingly sweeping opinion issued Wednesday, a five-justice majority in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections held that a federal congressional candidate had a legal right to sue, known as standing, in federal court to challenge an Illinois law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted as many as 14 days later. Reversing lower federal court rulings that denied Rep. Michael Bost (R-Ill.) standing to sue, the majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts adopted a categorical rule upholding candidate standing based on a candidate's inherent interest in "the integrity of the election" and the "democratic process." The vote was 7-2 in favor of Bost, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Elena Kagan, agreeing with the result that the majority reached but not its reasoning. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined in dissent by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, would have affirmed the lower courts' denial of standing. Under the "case or controversy" clause of Article III of the Constitution, plaintiffs in federal court only have standing to sue if they properly allege that the challenged action or law causes them "concrete and particularized injury in fact." The Supreme Court has generally interpreted that rule to deny standing based merely on some category that the plaintiff falls into, such as "citizen standing" or "taxpayer standing." Instead, the court has usually required plaintiffs to allege that that they have suffered some kind of judicially cognizable real-world harm that sets them apart from the broad run of society. Adopting the principal argument advanced by Bost, the majority stated, "Candidates have a concrete and particularized interest in the rules that govern the counting of votes in their elections, regardless whether those rules harm their electoral prospects or increase the cost of their campaigns." That candidate interest in protecting the integrity and fairness of the electoral process "is in no sense 'common to all members of the public,'" Roberts asserted. Although the public also has an interest in the integrity of elections, the candidate's interest "differs in kind." An unfair election "plainly affects those who compete for the support of the people in a different way than it affects the people who lend their support," Roberts stated.
... The majority may have been influenced by remedial concerns similar to those voiced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh during oral argument. There, Kavanaugh had remarked that an undesirable effect of denying candidates standing to challenge vote-counting rules before Election Day would put courts on the spot afterward, when someone already appeared to have won and others to have lost. In his opinion for the court, Roberts criticized the dissent's argument that candidates should not be deemed to have standing unless they properly alleged that the challenged rule likely made the difference between winning and losing. The problem, he said, is that a court probably can't tell whether a rule affected the ultimate result until after the votes are counted pursuant to that rule. Roberts quoted from an opinion written by the late Justice Antonin Scalia while concurring in the grant of a stay during Bush v. Gore in 2000: "Count first, and rule upon legality afterwards, is not a recipe for producing election results that have the public acceptance democratic stability requires."

This is honestly what amazed me about 2020.
The left committed MASSIVE, obvious voter fraud leading up to election day. AND IT WASN'T ENOUGH
They had to make it EVEN MORE OBVIOUS by kicking out election observers and double and triple counting votes...
And their partisans just brush it off and say WELL, THERE'S NO PROOF THEY CHEATED!
Right. When you get rid of the umpires, there's no proof that the 7 touchdowns you scored in the last 30 seconds were from cheating, but it's also pretty obvious it wasn't legitimate.

This cannot be allowed to stand as the historical record so seeing the light of day is a good thing but it is not enough.
And this is coming from a guy who now thinks in retrospect having the election stolen was good for Trump in particular and the nation in general (Much of this thought process is trusting that God has a plan).

They released a bio weapon, locked everyone in their houses and burned a bunch of cities to get Trump.
Most people didn't like the election theft, but after that it was pretty ho-hum stuff.
The rest loved the election theft.
What nobody did was believe it didn't happen. That was a comfortable institutional lie people dutifully parroted because it suited them politically, or because it was a fait accompli and they wanted to move on.
They lie to us, we know they lie to us, they know we know it, and it all runs like a clock.

Although "problema" ends in an -a suffix, it is a masculine word: "el problema", as it were.
It belongs to the class of Spanish nouns that have Greek roots. Though in Greek it is a neuter noun, this became a masculine noun in Latin and later in Spanish.
Spanish is much simpler in many ways than English, but it does have its oddities.

The ruling class in both places became obsessed with the tyrannical Chinese system -- they saw it as better for them, and it seems to kind of work (so far) so they emulated.

I suspect that, in the end, the judges will say that it wasn't proven. You could have confessions, video evidence, money transfers, the whole nine yards and they'll rule that it wasn't proven.
They almost have to do that because saying that it's proven leads to the question, "How do we make amends?"
The people who were forced to get the clot shot... how are their bodies cleansed? The people who killed themselves... how are they restored? The money spent on fraud... how are we indemnified for that?
Saying, officially saying, that 2020 was stolen, that everyone knew, and they let it happen, destroys the country.

At the time, I counted 8 states with blatant fraud. I think they only won 7 or maybe 6 of them though. Also FLA, which had little fraud but they handed that one to little bloomberg the commie fag to spend his Chinese billions to try to flip - he failed miserably.
So their plan was that they had FLA in the bag, and needed only a few of the 8 to win. When the lost FLA, they panicked and all their clumsy treachery became obvious because suddenly they needed a lot more than anticipated.

They had to make it EVEN MORE OBVIOUS by kicking out election observers and double and triple counting votes...
And their partisans just brush it off and say WELL, THERE'S NO PROOF THEY CHEATED!
Right. When you get rid of the umpires, there's no proof that the 7 touchdowns you scored in the last 30 seconds were from cheating, but it's also pretty obvious it wasn't legitimate.
Which is why they put the J6 protestors through hell. YOU WILL ACCEPT THIS ELECTION, no matter what. It was a display of power.

Also, keep in mind, the election law challenged by Bost, which the trial court said he didn't have standing for, was the counting of ballots after Election Day.
Which suggests SCOTUS agrees, not just that he has standing, but that the law can be challenged.

It's not even PR. When Charlie was murdered Patel and team immediately went to Utah. As influential as he was Charlie was still an ordinary citizen and not an elected official.
I don't understand why some sit around constantly bemoaning what garbage people leftists are and then want us to act the same way they do. I don't care about the politics, an elderly woman with a bad heart was abducted in the middle of the night and a ransom note, which may or may not be real, was given with a short deadline to save her life. I'm all in favor of saving her life if it can be done because it's the right thing to do.

1. Ballots stuffed into the system
2. Ballots already in the system double counted
3. Electronic modifications to the totals
It's completely plausible that an urban political machine could accomplish all 3. In fact, if some subtractions from Trump's vote totals were included in #3, there might be a #4 (or a #3A and a #3B).

(There is more to this which I will skip) But wikipedia was the main culprit -- they imported a bunch of maps from an earlier website, and they were correct, but wikipedia was full of commies from the start, and they slowly redid all the maps to invert them to make Dems red.
The main reason at the time was because blue was seen as a more "moderate, safer color" that appealed to voters, while red was of course revolution.

I'm an iconoclast on ths one, but I think I'm right. The actual Presidential election takes place in 51 places on December 17, when the electors cast their ballots. Everything after that is just a ministerial counting of the ballots that have already been cast. The electors can cast their ballots for anyone they damn well please. What we call the "Presidential" election is actually an election of electors who have pledged to vote for a particular candidate.
The states can choose their electors in any manner they damn well please. 48 of them plus DC have chosen election of a slate, but a couple (Maine and Nebraska) elect electors by Congressional district. The Constitutional key is that the process of choosing electors has to be prescribed by the state legislatures. So the election of a President is ultimately under the control of the state legislatures.
The state legislatures of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona did nothing in 2020 to correct it. Biden was therefore duly elected.

I love Ken Paxton like a brother, but Texas suing Pennsylvania over its voting process was profoundly shortsighted. If that had been allowed to go forward, it is a 100% guarantee that California would have sued Texas 4 years later, and once that happened, there would be no bar to every blue state suing every red state and vice versa, and the Supreme Court forever being required to decide the winner of every Presidential election between the 1st Tuesday in November and January 20.

The Supreme Court merely chickened out.
Roberts, reportedly, begged and pleaded with the other 8 to not take up TX v PA because, he assured them, the country would go back to normal once Trump was gone. Alito and Thomas were apparently very pissed at this.
Ever since, Alito and Thomas have effectively taken over the court. Roberts feels secondary to most of the decisions that have come out from the Fall 2021 term onwards.
Roberts' callous fear seems to have turned people like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh completely against him.

I think the FBI letter from Atlanta FBI Agent in Charge was to light a fire under certain individuals who would certainly want to discuss the ramifications of a search warrant, and any FISA warrant is going to catch those conversations. IOW, the Agent in Charge in Atlanta was taking one for the team, and comes across as issuing a heads up, but was really stirring up the hornet's nest to secure more evidence via surveillance.

There was a guy who LITERALLY could not run his PFT on time because he wore the wrong shorts at formation. That means, he was out of uniform, and so he missed formation. Not a big deal in general, but he didn't run his PFT with the unit. Instead he had to run it later with the PCP (I can't remember the proper definition, but we called it the Pork Chop Platoon. . .the Fat kids who had to run twice a day (like the rest of us, but we chose) rather than the requisite one) Normally not a big deal, but if he were to attend a board, or a medal review or an MOS review he would have been fucked, because automatically he didn't meet the standards necessary.
"Lucky" for him, he was a piece of shit Marine so nobody cared about him getting fucked over because he deserved it, and the odds of him standing a board is the same as mine being able to bang Jessica Rabbit.
If it works for 19 year old kids who are trusted with MILLIONS of dollars in their hands, the ability to chose between life and death at any given moment, I think it applies to elected officials.

DHS cyber agency invests in election auditing tool to secure 2020 elections
"The tool has already been used to conduct post-election audits across the country, including during the recent 2019 elections. Election officials in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, Ohio and Georgia have signed on to partner with CISA on Arlo, with more officials expected to join.
“Heading into 2020, we’re exploring all possible ways that we can support state and local election officials while also ensuring that Americans across the country can confidently cast their votes,” CISA Director Christopher Krebs said in a statement.
--
During 2019 and 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) underwent significant leadership transitions, with no single Senate-confirmed secretary serving the entire period.
Chris Krebs was the first director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), serving from November 2018 until he was fired by President Donald Trump via Twitter on November 17, 2020.
Krebs ran a "Rumor Control page" to combat election misinformation, which angered the White House and led to his termination.

Unfortunately, Benedict WAS an American Hero, but he was operating under the idea that the US wanted to achieve equal status with the English, rather than true independence, and then he broke his oath. Benedict wasn't the worst of those who betrayed the US, he is just the most prominent of the revolutionary hero's.
It's really a funny thing. . . people think that America is arrogant because we talk about kicking the brit's ass.
The founding fathers WANTED to STAY BRITTISH! We WANTED IT! But George the third, made a common democrat mistake thinking that position offered power, and in America that cow don't fly. After George tried to stifle us as vassals we said NO, we are FREE.

Communist Foreign Jihadi Theater Kid Zohran Mamdani Loves the Homeless So He Stopped All Police Sweeps of Homeless Encampments During Severe Weather.
Now He's Killed 17 Homeless People With His "Caring"
Homeless people want to be homeless. That's the fact. Cities build shelters for them but they don't want to go to the shelters.
During weather emergencies, cops used to force the homeless to go to the shelters. So they wouldn't die. The communist jihadi foreign theater kid and Gaytard Zohran Mamdani really really loves the homeless, so he forbids the police from rousing them and bringing them to shelters when the overnight temperatures plunge down to ten degrees (less than zero with windchill). His new policy was, as Actual Justice Warrior put it, to "try to convince them extra-super-hard" to go to the shelters voluntarily. They didn't agree to go voluntarily. Because they're mentally ill and incapable of caring for themselves and legally incapable of making decisions about their own health and safety. Now, 17 homeless people that he really really loves are dead. He's killing them with kindness, you see.Mayor Mamdani said Friday he still will only force homeless New Yorkers off the streets "as a last resort" -- even as his office revealed 13 people have now died outdoors, with even colder temps coming this weekend. The Democratic socialist continued to insist that city workers will compel homeless people to get indoors only if they pose a danger to themselves or others. He dug in his heels as the real-feel temperature was forecast to dip as low as -1 degree Saturday into Sunday. Pressed on how city workers will determine if someone is a danger to themselves, Mamdani said numerous factors need to be taken into account before getting someone to shelter, including whether they have enough clothing on. "There are a number of specific criteria that is used in determining whether one is a danger to themselves or to others," Mamdani told reporters at an unrelated event in Long Island City. "I think we can find some of this criteria also in how an individual is clothed, whether they are deemed to actually be warm in those settings, as well as their behavior," Hizzoner said. "And for the New Yorkers who are deemed to be a threat to themselves or to others, there is a process of involuntary confinement which is a last resort," he continued. "However, it has been utilized a number of times whenever city workers have come to that conclusion." Hours later, his office announced that the outdoor death toll had tragically risen by three since last Saturday, when the Big Apple began getting walloped by unrelenting below-freezing conditions and Winter Storm Fern. A City Hall spokesperson said in a statement the number of deaths has increased to 13 -- up from the 10 officials reported earlier this week, spanning from Saturday to Tuesday. The mayor's office didn't provide any additional details about the three newly-tallied deaths, and it wasn't known when they had taken place.The death toll of homeless people frozen to death in the streets has since risen to 17. And NYC is bracing for another arctic blast of cold air this weekend. Can we get up to 20? Maybe 25? His new pick for city lawyer actually praised Mamdani for his Socially-Conscious Murders.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pick for top Big Apple lawyer on Wednesday praised the administration's "extraordinarily high-level" handling of the current deadly cold snap -- even as the death toll climbed to 17 people. Testifying before the City Council's Rules Committee for his approval to become the city's corporation counsel, Steve Banks was pressed by Speaker Julie Menin on how he would advise the fashionably-focused mayor during future extreme weather events. "What I have seen is exactly what should be happening, which is adhering to the state law to evaluate people, bring them inside when the state law permits people to be brought inside, continually to engage people," said Banks, who served as the former Department of Social Services commissioner under Mayor Bill de Blasio. He added that the city is "redoubling efforts, 24/7, to engage people and bring them inside" with temperatures set to dip below freezing for the umpteenth day this winter. Banks, however, rejected a broad removal policy when Menin asked if the city could relocate people "in the interest of health and safety" during extreme cold, particularly those with serious mental illness. "I think the state law doesn't permit that kind of blanket approach. It requires an individualized evaluation, and that is exactly what I see being implemented right now," Banks said. "That requires nursing evaluations, that requires clinical evaluations. And that's what I see is going on right now at, quite frankly, an extraordinarily high level."

I worked downtown with a lot of homeless in a small city and here's my experience: most homeless don't want a home. Some do but simply cannot handle it or keep a home. Some few do and get out of being homeless within a few months because of all the resources and aid available to someone sane and trying to help their situation.
Nearly every single homeless person I encountered and still do, are one or a combination of insane, addicts, drunks, or pathologically loners. Most are several of these.

That's good. I feel like it doesn't capture the left though.
It's not that they WANT people to die. (Well, at least not the objects of their "empathy.") It's that they don't really care.
It's false empathy. Sociopathic empathy? Narcissistic Empathy? Selfish Empathy? Performative Empathy?
I'm not great at coining terms, but the left doesn't actually care about the people they "help". They care that they look like good people. They care that they stay convinced in their own mind that everything they do is good and just.

In our old pop culture, hobos were often regarded as colorful and nonthreatening characters. Today, nobody wants to be around homeless. Except librarians; homeless welcomed there.

The trains would stop in the middle of the taiga and the prisoners would be rousted out of the cars. The doors would close, the guards would re-embark, and the train with empty cars would tootle off into the dark.

The total addressable market for drugs made from human plasma is way north of $30 Billion a year.
Whether contrived or happenstance there is a perverse incentive to maintain said homeless population. Go to the intersection of the fraud in the aid programs and Big Pharma.

I 100% agree with you on the addicts. They all chose that over sane, rational behavior.
Some of them are actually schizophrenics. Those I feel for. They should be housed in institutions that look out for their welfare, since they are incapable of doing so themselves. But of course, the leftists can't have that. Apparently empathy only goes so far. Can't be spending actual money to help the helpless.

For a short period of time, the Bolsheviks' preferred means of mass execution was to fill empty barges filled with political prisoners, tow the barges into the White Sea, and sink them.
But barges were expensive, so it was determined to be much more practical to assign the prisoners to forced labor on starvation rations.

— Want to minimize the freaks, sickos, future perverts and mentally ill creepazoids coming up in the next generation? Allow leftists to brainwash all the weak-willed young swishy weirdos into going "trans" and then allow leftists to sterilize them with outrageous butchery "surgeries" that under normal circumstances would be illegal. Boom -- all the Future Perverts of America sterilized or dead by suicide, and leftists get the blame again. Another two-fer.

Now, they are everywhere, crapping in public, sleeping in doorways, spreading HIV and other lovely viral infections, and wondering around in the middle of streets blocking traffic. Some go to the public library and have sex on the lovely furniture there. Many more panhandle relentlessly. And about six members of the Anchorage Assembly get rich off funds to eliminate homelessness.

(c) all real industry already left, so no downside to making city unlivable to productive class workers.
(d) mixed bag for retail,etc. since more people, but lower class
(f) Great value for social service workers, gov. workers, legal workers, etc. with so many clients.
The key right there is the benefits they receive -- remove the benefits and the un-productive classes dry up and blow away. Cities will be desolate, but then they can start rebuilding.

All Church folks should come to NoVa and see how it's done...it's one thing I'm amazed we do so well here vs everywhere else I've lived. Not sure why other areas can't figure out the public/private partnership of public staying hands off and facilitating the folks to get there and private handling it.

It is single gender (all male b/c that tends to be on the street and unwilling to go into gov areas - women are taking elsewhere). And if they get kicked out, cops pick them up for a night in the jail.
All denominations pitch in and take a week and many cross denominations help their local Church. It takes a village and is done every year. So far, while as cold and as populated as any metro, no one has died of the cold this year. Heart attacks shoveling snow - yes.

It think it's more like the hard solid core of capitalism.
You have to feed yourself. You have to shelter yourself. You don't? Then you have to rely on charity. And if you make yourself so unimaginably odious to anyone who might help you that they are afraid of even getting near you, let alone trying to help you?
You fucking die. End of story. That's the moral hazard at the center of life.
It's a source of great hilarity that this little commie pipsqueak is the one putting it on full display as if this were a bad thing and we should all think "ohhh noooo evils of capitalism". Screw that. This is the golden understructure of capitalism. This is the Kapitalist Krampus to Marx's Santa Claus. No one is obligated to keep you alive, asshole. No one is obligated to feed or house you. Get your shit together. Or don't. I don't care.

Okay, here's the deal. My parents did that to us before they died. "We don't care what happens to us." That's great, but they left us with two bodies to deal with. To my knowledge, my sister had them cremated, but where their ashes ended up, I don't know.
There is no place to visit them, no place to pray over, no memorial of any kind.
They got what they wanted, but ignored what others might have preferred. Selfish to the end. Perfectly in character for them, but leaves a bad taste.

Strangely, the proposal was approved. I collected an E. coli culture from a local university, requested agar media and amino acids and an UV lamp. The stuff dribbled in over the next couple of months, but not in time for the actual experiment (graduation). The funny part was that year's AP test included an essay question on that exact subject.

We had a soldier die in a diving accident in the Red Sea when I was in Egypt. I was sitting with a couple of captains monitoring radios while we discussed death. Captain Bickford mentioned that if he ever perished, we should just pack him in a box and mail him home.
Being a smartass, and an asshole, I responded "that's fine, as long as you don't end up in the dead letter office".
Pause of about 10 seconds and then we all roared with laughter and almost suffocated. Those two NEVER looked at me the same again...

And here I think is where a massive welfare state makes society less charitable, not more. The productive are already being taxed through the nose and up the ass to fund the housing, healthcare, and food of an entire dependent class. Why should they pay more to do what is already supposed to be happening? Government intervention crowds out charitable endeavors and influences people's willingness to give to charity. Plus the phenomenal amount of corruption and graft when government inserts itself in private charitable functions.

Fucking idiots.
War isn't a god damn video game. You don't just click the "Start War" button when you feel like playing.
If we're on offense, do they really expect the President to time the opening assault based on some retards' feelings and not... fucking literally anything else? Weather? Asset Positioning? Enemy positioning? Intelligence?
I mean, if you do just want another Forever War boondoggle where no one actually expects a victory with minimal casualties, sure, go ahead, bombs away. Fuck it.

So, the executions following Soviet occupation during 1944-45. Stalin also demanded that the borders of Poland be shifted westward. Poland lost 28,471 sq. miles of territory when the dust settled.

A Covert Chinese Lab Is Operating in Las Vegas and "Sickening" Nearby Americans
Several people who stayed at the Las Vegas home apparently doubling as an illegal Chinese biolab became sick after their visit, with two people becoming "deathly ill" a few days after entering the home's garage, according to documents reviewed by Las Vegas journalist David Charns. And that's just the beginning of today's updates. We've also learned more about how investigators believe the equipment ended up at that home, the relationship between the property manager, Ori Solomon, and the Chinese scientist charged with running the lab, Jia Bei Zhu. Federal gun charges have now been filed against Ori Solomon, the man serving as property manager for the home. Solomon, 55, appears to have lived in the Las Vegas area for more than a decade, according to public records, but the complaint filed Monday evening states that he's currently in the United States on a Non-Immigrant Visa (E-2) that expires in May, 2026, "which precludes him from owning or possessing a firearm per 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(B)." ... Zhu is still in frequent contact with his girlfriend/wife/baby mama, Zhaoyan Wang, who is also facing federal charges but fled to China with their baby in 2023, contacting her 3,524 times in January, per the 8 News Now report. Investigators also believe that Wang has had access to video surveillance on the property.
More from JusttheNews:
I don't know if this is true -- but it's plausible.
An illegal biolab in California raided by the FBI in 2023 and a separate hazardous lab inside a Las Vegas garage searched by the bureau this weekend are both tied to a CCP-linked Chinese national currently awaiting trial for fraud, false statements, and the adulteration of medical devices, according to court filings, police officials and members of Congress. Jia Bei Zhu was arrested in 2023 on allegations he was running an illegal biological laboratory in Reedley, Calif. On Saturday, the FBI and local police raided a similar biolab in Vegas, arresting the home's property manager, Ori Salomon (also spelled Solomon). Police and lawmakers say the two labs are closely connected. "An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas" and "it is directly linked to the secret Chinese lab found in California in 2023, which was oozing with E. Coli, HIV, and Malaria," Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., tweeted on Tuesday. "The lab just raided in Vegas was operated by the same LLC and same Chinese nationals as the one discovered in Reedley," Kiley said in a House floor speech. "Now we know there was at least one other such lab, but we still don't know how many others." ... Congressional investigators allege that Zhu (also known by the aliases of Jesse Zhu, Qiang He, and David He) had significant connections to the Chinese Communist Party apparatus and allege he ran an illegal laboratory in California that housed approximately 20 types of infectious disease samples -- including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest known form of Malaria. It also allegedly sold oft-counterfeit or Chinese-origin COVID-19 tests without a proper permit, the investigators said.
... The filings also demonstrate the DOJ's concerns that the bail deal repeatedly proposed by Zhu is actually a scheme to help him flee to China, which is where Wang jetted off to with their child shortly after Zhu was raided a few years ago.
... The prosecutor said that "this company, David Destiny Discovery, is currently the owner on ... a house in Las Vegas valued at approximately $800,000" and two condos in Las Vegas that together are worth approximately $800,000." Barton said that Zhu and Wang "are both listed as principals or managing members of this David Destiny Discovery, so the Government believes they control these properties and assets." Barton argued that "the Government believes this shows that He has control over these assets, even though they're in the name of David Destiny Discovery" and thus that it was a "lie" when Zhu allegedly claimed in his pretrial services report to only having $10,000 to $20,000 in assets." Zhu's lawyer filed an April 2024 motion pushing the court to review his client's detention, stating that "the defendant is a Chinese citizen with a Chinese passport and lives in a house in Las Vegas, Nevada that is owned by David Destiny Discovery" and that "Ms. Wang states in her declaration that David Destiny Discovery, LLC, invests in real estate with money from her family in China."
The Airbnb attached to the CCP disease lab isn’t incidental, it’s the point.

It's crazy people have conflated "biological laboratory" with "infectious disease/bioweapon lab". 99% of "biolabs" are just... Science labs. For biology. Lots of high schools and every university has "biolabs".
Real? Or just politicking early for the mid terms? Start pushing that foreign invaders scary stuff.
Not sure what you mean about mid terms as both sides recognize the dangers of China. Trump has already committed to major increases in defense spending that will lead to deficit spending.

It is widely believed that China is spreading citrus greening disease around the world, now including FLA, as a form of biological warfare. There is no proof, so not a lot of discussion, but it came from China and is devastating the Citrus industry world wide.
There are other cases of Chinese caught in the act of carrying pathogens around the world, but I don't think any others have spread so much damage.

I got hired to help out a tech company in CA that had hired a Chinese, and he spent a couple years replacing the entire staff with Chinese. They were making no progress and the company got sold and then had to do a big demo and the new owners realized they had no capability. So they hired me for a quick fix to see what was wrong.
These Chinese engineers and techs were all fucking chicken farmers who somehow had degrees and were making 6 figures in CA covering for each other. It was a bloody mess. I unraveled all this in about a week, got the demo to work, and suggested to new President that he fire every single one of the Chinese engineers and techs and start over.
This was a small company, but I have worked with Chinese and Indians in several large companies where they really just cover for their incompetence better. It is not that they are stupid or worse than Europeans, but (a) their degrees are often fake, (b) their experience is very shallow. They come to West and do not know how things really work. and (c) they are tribal as fuck and that is poison to a corporation. They cover for each other and fake competence and (pixy limit)

To me, the Hainan Island incident was war. It was obvious beforehand, but that was a milestone.
Does anyone remember Idiot Bush going to China and reviewing the troops -- one asshole gave him a warface as he walked by. This is a big deal, as it is evidence that (a) the military sees the US as an enemy. The enemy. The sacrifice all to kill, enemy. and (b) he knew he would not get in trouble for it.
The image was in the papers, but I can find no evidence of it on internet -- it is a stunning photo and extremely troubling. That was all the proof you need. If they are raising and training their military to see us as with that much hate, well you can't undue that.

KENYA SOMALI said she recently ripped the wooden door off her bathroom in the crumbling cinderblock home that she shares with her children because she needed firewood, and they needed to eat."

I hired a Chinese Engineer in the early 90s, and he went back to visit China (long story short...) upon return he reported that he was asked to spy for China, under threat that his family might lose their Beijing housing. He was interviewed upon landing to see where he worked, and then had to report a few days later to speak to specialist in the field and asked to "help out Chinese companies with technology."
If they were doing that in the early 90s (i think around 91), imagine what they are doing today.

What CONCEIVABLE reason could a known Chinese CCP agent have for setting up a "biolab" filled with communicable diseases in the US?
Twice.
This is an act of war, worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than crossing the Maginot Line, worse than the Battle of Bunker Hill -- this is China trying to decimate the American civilian population.
In a sane world, the U.S. should declare war on CHina, impose 200% tariffs on all Chinese goods, and gear up for battle.
But we know that an't gonna happen.
But doubling, tripling, quadrupling tariffs on China, and letting them know why, is a good place to start.

I made sure he never worked on anything high tech at the company, but then he left to go work for Brinks Security.
When I worked at other companies (outside DC and in Si Valley) I saw several Chinese engineers with working for our companies, but they had Chinese language business cards. At an offsite one time I saw them showing each other their cards. It was terrifying. I think China made it sound very innocuous - a way to pick up a couple extra bucks, and the Engineers thought it was cute. Not corporate espionage, just a side hustle. That was the '00s

Burt was also prosecuted along with Trump's other GA electors by Fani Willis and the whole GA Senator Perdue testimony that Kemp knew about the fraud and covered it up came from being interrogated by Nathan Sweetdick Wade.

Then-Director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Vic Reynolds told Senator Perdue, "I'm a team player. If the Governor doesn't want to investigate, we're not going to investigate."

"You said that although Mr. Reynolds had received evidence that he felt was compelling enough to open an investigation that he was not going to investigate because the governor had told him not to?"
"That's one of the things he said, yeah." - Senator Perdue
One month before the special grand jury testimony, Vic Reynolds was appointed a Superior Court Judge by........Governor Brian Kemp."

Their military is a fucking joke. Size means nothing. Who cares if they build a thousand ships if they're hot garbage, half of them sink, half of them break, and the other half defects because the crew is as sick of their bullshit as we are? Who cares if their Army has a billion men if they only got a million guns and a thousand bullets? Russia's demonstrated how far Meat Wall gets you these days, and that's against a plucky little kleptocracy with a borrowed military and a permanent hangover. The fuck are they going to do against the world's only actual remaining superpower with zero allies and a national reputation built 75% on lies and absurdities? You can't beat America with Chinesium in open battle. They'll kick our asses all day long in the game of backstabbing and fraud and counterfeiting, sure, I'll give them that.

I shit you not, half the incoming students had to be Chinese. As in, " just arrived from China" Chinese. As in, difficult to communicate with not because of an accent, but because they barely spoke English.
From an exchange during my first semester seminar:
Professor: "Lets.look at figure 3 in the paper. What does this finding suggest? Jie, what do you think?
Jie; *haltingly reads the title of figure 3*
Professor: and what does that suggest to you, Jie?
Jie: * haltingly reads title of figure 3 again*
Professor: ok, moving on.
Now I wasn't the brightest grad student ever, and one ones nominating me for Nobel prizes, but this was shocking to me at the time. Why would you let people in who can barely communicate with you? Are there no American students as smart as Jie? Is he that much of a catch that we had to import him?

Lol, that's probably exactly what they're saying. I have the owl camera in my tree and I caught the female getting in the nest two nights ago but she left.
When they're ready to hatch the eggs the male brings food to the nest and they will have like a rabbit and mice and rats in the nest when the eggs hatch. They fill the pantry if you will.

Put them all in camps like WWII and the Japanese is how far I'd go at this point. Vet the ones who have assimilated and are Christian.
I know people scream about the WWII camps, but as my Marine WWII father told me, it had to be done as no one knew who to trust after Pearl Harbor. I trusted my father from my birth to the night he died to tell me the truth. I argued with him over the internment camps in college. On the day of 9/11 I called him and told him I understand now.

But in that case, it may be a case of the film having its cake and eating it too. Soon-hee destroys Uncle's porn collection because it's demeaning while the film really does glory in the sight of two naked women scissoring.

Late but feel free to move to webzone if you need to.
I think the brutality and exploitation made one of the women frigid, flesh like cold fowl I think was the phrase. The lesbian sex ignited her passion, not because she didn't know about woman love (I'm SURE the porn books she had to read talked about that) but because she FELT something with her handmaid.
I think she burned the books because of their association in her mind and history and her mother's death.

Now the American Medical Association Warns Against Gender Mutilations for Children
Pretty amazing that our "experts" just figured out that you should not mutilate children.
We should definitely trust them. Note, however, they still support sterilizing artificial cross-sex hormones which cause irreversible effects, of course. They're just opposing the most visible and most politically toxic part of the Trans All Children agenda.Another domino has fallen in the war against child mutilation as the American Medical Association (AMA) has renounced gender surgeries on children. This is the second major medical group this week that's taken such a stand. On Tuesday, I reported that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) was the first to come out against sex change surgeries for minors. More to the point, the AMA said that gender surgeries should wait at least until patients are adults. Prior to this week, the majority of the medical community and its professional associations fought against restrictions on gender surgeries and related care. Their earlier stance was to push for "evidence-based" decisions that center on what they had described as the unique needs of the person, regardless of age. In other words, the ghouls favored making gender surgery decisions on a case-by-case basis, even with children. In addition to surgery, such decisions may also have considered pharmaceutical puberty blockers and hormone therapies. In making its announcement, the AMA said that while it continued to support treatment for gender-confused minors, there is not enough research on the risks and benefits of surgical procedures for young patients. This stance is very similar to that of the plastic surgeons, which the AMA acknowledged: "In the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood." So what happened that has caused so much of this new enlightenment? My colleague Rick Moran covered an interesting legal case and a $2 million award that may have single-handedly destroyed the sex change industry for minors. ... Last week, [a detransitioner named, supposedly, "Fox"] Varian won a $2 million jury award -- not an out-of-court settlement -- in this landmark case. The court victory for Varian has sent shockwaves throughout the medical industry.Cutting healthy tissue off children didn't bother them. But having to pay higher malpractice insurance rates? That finally roused their consciences.
If you're keeping score, there's one organization we have not yet heard from in terms of changing its position on the issue, and that's the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In fact, when the New York Times reached out to the AAP for comment, it said its position on gender surgeries for minors hasn't changed.The experts want to mutilate your children. Always Trust the Experts.

On its face, $2M ain't a whole lot, but this case was the most favorable of facts for the butchers. Lefty jurisdiction (Westchester), fairly well papered-over procedure, parental consent (!), a relatively older girl, proof that the girl was happy with the procedure for at least a few years after, and some evidence that the case was just a money-grab.

A tranny writing for the Seattle alt-weekly "The Stranger" had a series of articles about trannies who fled Fascist Red America for Seattle.
One of them, who was a "NASA scientist" in Florida, mentioned that he could no longer get his "gender-affirming" care in Florida, because Florida medical facilities were worried about liability. (Florida passed a law making it crystal-clear that doctors and medical facilities were liable for the adverse consequences caused by chemically and surgically mutilating people.)

now, i'm not a lawyer, but is it just me or does this read like a gift to anyone who's "detransitioned"? they are admitting that there's not medical evidence that what they were doing provided benefit, especially when considered against the risks.
if i was suing, this would be evidence #1.

"Transgender is not valid. It is a symptom of mental illness. Have a nice day."
This tells me that they should remove "Medical" from their name. They are an "American Association" whose positions, actions, and edicts do nothing more than encourage mental illness. They are complicit no matter how much they tone down their rhetoric. They will remain complicit until they identify individuals claiming to be something they are not for what they really are....mentally ill.

19 seems like a stupid age to set, until you see it as setting a trap to force the question to the supreme court so they can rule that it's constitutional to restrict the rights of adult trans people, which will give every state chomping at the bit the precedent they need to open the flood gates and ban all medical interventions for trans people.
They won't stop at surgeries. Job restrictions, bathroom bans and suddenly we are insane and should be locked up for "treatment". More organisms for the peeedos.
Cisgender people need to stfu about trans rights issues. After witnessing ten years of cisgender "allies" making things worse by treating my right to exist as a football in their little team politics game.
Gay people wouldn't have their rights today without the blood of trans women of colour. Instead of trying to cut the T from the LGBT they should respect their history and those who bleed and fucking died so they can have rights.

Today, Vice President Kamala Harris and People For the American Way announced the revival and rebrand of the KamalaHQ accounts as a new project: Headquarters.
KamalaHQ played a critical role in the 2024 presidential campaign as the accounts helped to move key messages like Project 2025 from the “left bubble” and into the mainstream. Now, the Vice President is partnering with People For the American Way – one of the most storied membership organizations in the country – to build an effort to mobilize pro-justice, pro-fairness, pro-democracy young people against far-right extremism. This combination of these large social media accounts and an organization that has for decades been at the nexus of culture and politics will help power the progressive movement for another generation.
Conservatives build permanent organizing infrastructure. Progressives have historically built machines that dismantle after Election Day. Headquarters is the end of that cycle.

It's been explained many times here, but it's the term Kiwi Farms uses for male to female trannies. (they use "Pooner" for female to male.)
It originated on the site Something Awful, where all the users were called "goons". A ton of people on SA went tranny, so those people were called "troons" (tranny + goon). It spread.

RFK has been saying it's glyphosate. In the US, farmers are allowed to spray wheat with a desiccant before harvest that dries it out evenly and speeds up the harvest/processing process. They typically use glyphosate.
I personally don't think it's just that one thing. Celiac is real. But a lot of people who seem to be wheat intolerant don't have Celiac. Some of it may be in people's heads. I think it's a combination of all three and probably more environmental contaminants.

After the surgical mutilation, I think the quackery of puberty blockers and hormones is next. It will be driven by successful malpractice suits.
Pushing the procedures to age 21 is better than what we have now, but this is still medical malpractice at any age. Mutilation to 'transition' someone completely misses the real problem: a psychological disorder that will not be fixed by any of this.

Those grains that are rich in gluten provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals beneficial to your health. In addition, gluten is a probiotic (the good bacteria) that assists in digestion.
Gluten Free diets are absolute nonsense (again, unless you suffer from Celiac Disease...and most of us do not).
Posted by: Orson at February 05, 2026 12:30 PM (dIske)
Celiacs are not the only folks who should avoid gluten. While I agree the numbers are inflated, there are folks with wheat allergies (who are avoiding more than just the gluten) and gluten insensitivity (where is causes inflammation - ala just like the Celiacs) who should also avoid it.
And then there are the low carb/Keto folks who probably should be seeking better forms of carbs for the few limited ones they are allowed/day. Although they wouldn't be looking for "gluten free" products, but an apple...

A reminder:
"The human brain typically reaches full maturity between the mid-to-late 20s (approx. age 25–30). While the brain stops increasing in physical size during early adolescence, the prefrontal cortex—responsible for impulse control, planning, and decision-making—is the last area to fully develop, undergoing significant maturation well into the third decade of life."
My emphasis.

1) the Bar has been captured as surely as the medical profession by DEI and Progressive thinking. The Bar runs the state education and licensing, as well as the ethics oversight. When the Board of Governors were old crusty lawyers that passed the bar in the 60's abd 70's it was a restraining hand, now that the Board is made of idiots who passed the bar after 2001 it acts like a Methhead on a stolen D6
2) Progressive education, especially the sort you get in liberal colleges, teaches that the noblest position is to be a fellow traveler -- and that it is far safer and the law probably will ignore progressive, high status knowledge workers who act in favor of the revolutionaries.
3) The other members of the Club's opinions are far more important than dirty little things like laws.
Attorneys and judges MAKE THE LAW SERVE THEM, after all, and part of that is easing their way into the society of professionals

True, but 25% of all food allergies are ADULT onset...and those tend to be related to the onset of auto-immune conditions in the adults of some type or another and/or a leaky gut type syndrome.
So, we can fix most kid allergies, but adult ones are much more tricky. It's hard convincing the human body's immune system that something it identified as an enemy is really a friend once you've hit adulthood.

Not so, we have always maintained since Washington that a person is addressed by the highest political rank they achieved, even after retiring.

Glyphosate is more commonly known as RoundUp. A weedkiller. Nice stuff to eat. Monsanto has been genetically modifying corn to produce this stuff without having to spray it.
I am certain that the 'food allergies' we are seeing are not from the food, but from the chemicals sprayed on them, or inserted into the nucleus.

That one wears away though b/c the tick does not continually insert that molecule every intake of meat, so the allergy itself eventually wears off.
For other allergies, since it's directly the intake of the food as the cause of the response, it's gonna be harder.
I mean, I'm sure the 1st will help, but it's not gonna be simple.

This also pisses me off, and not just as to gender dysphoria but to a whole host of other mental disorders like OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, PTSD, Tourette's, and the like. They went from being identifiable mental disorders that needed treatment or management to being trendy, clout-builders, status symbols, entire identities. Claiming to have these things became a fad, and the health care industry instead of clamping down and saying "no these are real problems and you should play-act at them" just said "OK!" and started exploiting it to make a buck. And it doubly pisses me off because it trivializes REAL incidences of these disorders, which can be really quite awful, and makes people be dismissive of real cases. A pox upon all their crotches.

There is some research going along the idea that it is "leaky gut" that allows gut contents to migrate into the gut wall and the blood stream, causing inflammation and other issues. There are a number of things that can cause it, some are Arsenic compounds, but there are also claims that DDT and Glyphosates may do the same sort of thing. It would be a secondary order thing, instead of a "poison by multiple sources ingested separately" so it is harder to pin down.
Whatever you think about it, it is part of the Carnivore diet that some people seem to be having luck with in reducing their inflammation.

This is actually much worse for doctors than saying "must" wait. That means it is a judgement call, and that's where you can be sued...because someone is unhappy with the result and questions your judgement. If the guidance says "no surgery until age 19" you're golden (assuming you don't do the surgery on someone under 19).
Of course, that means activists can pressure individual doctors, instead of the AMA...

Would The Implanted become paralyzed by choice like some linguistic Buridan's Ass, and simply give up even trying to communicate verbally altogether? Would the rules of communication smoosh out so aggressively through hyperaccellerated language change that the very act of verbal communication becomes meaningless to them? They know all the words and none of the words mean a thing anymore?

I made a guy so mad on Twixxer that he called me a bot, blocked me, and put me on a bad boy list because I pointed out that a Deportation order is issued by a judge and the laws for due process to illegals was created under the Clinton administration, different than others get.

They've always bounced between art preservation and straight commerce.
The Rock and Armageddon aren't in the collection because of their artistic merits.
But they went off the rails a few years ago for DEI reasons and actually have come back in some solid ways. They're bringing back the Eclipse series, for one, on Blu-ray. Those minor Lubitsch musicals won't sell many copies, but it's good to have them in HD.
And then they're the only label who can sell Killers of the Flower Moon, which seems to sit on the border between the two mindsets.

Now, part of that could be just if you were allergic to wheat people though you were just a sickly child who died at a young age.
But another part I think is more sinister. I think that we're either being deliberately poisoned by China and/or the preservatives and all the crap put into our food is damaging our systems.
I also think that preventing kids from eating dirt and getting skinned knees as toddlers has resulted in very weak constitutions as they grow up.

When Norman Borlaug and others figured out how to hybrid use wheat such that it could be grown easily in places where people were starving, SOMETHING happened to fundamentally change the gluten molecule.
Only 3 grains - wheat, barley, and rye - cause that kind of reaction in people who are all of a sudden sensitive to it. But wheat is the main culprit.

Isn't that a deus ex machina?
TV Tropes calls that a "hand wave."

TV Tropes calls it "hanging a lampshade" or "lampshading", but same difference.

Because oats ONLY get it tangentially - grown in an adjoining field, say.
The true gluten sensitivities are only in the grains which have 1 leaf per node, as opposed to 2 leaves per node.
And there are only 4 grains known which have that structure in nature.

It stems from Greek tragedy when a god figure would come down from a machine, part of the stage, towards the end of a play to fix everything dramatically.

Nah, progs do, and progs control medical credentialing.
Speaking of death cults and kids, this is why it has been retarded to spaz out nonstop about abortion in contexts where it costs votes. Fuck em, and fuck their kids. Worry about our own kids - who now are being brainwashed and groomed by the millions in places where progs have snaked into control. Ban abortion after you actually have secured power and stop letting hyperventilating evangelicals drive strategy based on feels.

Trump seemed to be signaling this week that he was going to focus on criminals instead of everyone, softening his position. I am not sure he softens as much as he refocuses his action.

Working in ag and in stores, I think people take a LOT for granted, and need to come to grips with the fact that no matter what we do with our diet, someday we will all die.
Deliberately poisoned by the PRC? Um, how?
The people who are shrieking about evil preservatives now will be shrieking even louder over the ultimate preservative that we can use, but people hate though we do in fact need it - salt.
America and other places need to experience a famine, if for no other reason to stop taking things for granted.

It's something. I'll take it!
Now, get the shrink academy of the USA to declare the parents of the trans children they groom to be declared Munchausen's by Proxy!
Then arrest all politicians and teachers involved.
It is a pity I don't run the world.
