In the French Pyrenees
Justin Locke, 1956
Via Guisi Gaile

Turtle refuses to obey police commands.

Work hard, play hard.


Lay your paws on me.

Introducing the babies. More babies hanging out.

What's the name of that phobia where you get triggered by a large group of holes? I just got a dose of that and now you can too.

Yff pile.


Not a penguin.

Dogs just want to help. If it involves carrying things around in their mouths like it's treasure, so much the better. Yup, anything involving grabbing things in their mouths and carrying them, they're Johnny On the Spot.

This is pretty much my deck. I've put out a freakin' smorgasbord for these dumb birds. (And squirrels.)

I had some ground beef that had just turned so I cooked that up and put it out for the crow. He loved it. He filled his mouth up four times and flew it back to the nest.

He still has not brought me a gift. But he also doesn't fly away when he sees me.

Maybe use the kazoo in a park with strange crows first and see what happens?

Our finch now know my husband the bird man. They know he feeds them. When I start sitting on the front porch, as soon as these babies fly off, I'll probably get my eyes pecked out if she's planning a new brood. Apparently they are busy birds who mate frequently and not always for life.

I have this (aversion, not fear) and those ads were really hard. It’s hard to explain the feeling it invokes because it’s not really rational. The best way is if you looked at something that was gross, so much so you want to stop looking at it as soon as possible.

US Assets Counter-Attack Iranian Fast Boats

Good.

But they're claiming none of this violated the ceasefire, because they're trying to pretend to comport with the unconstitutional War Powers Act for some reason.

A U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas were reported Thursday, with U.S. officials telling Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin that this was neither a restart of the war nor an end to the ceasefire.

The U.S. military also struck Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab, officials confirmed.

The development came as Iran's state-run IRNA news agency also reported air defense activity in western Tehran.

Two other loud explosions were heard Thursday night, while eyewitnesses told Iran International they heard multiple blasts in Chitgar.

Iran's state-run Mehr News Agency also reported attacks and exchanges of fire across Iran's southern Hormozgan province near Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island, according to reports.

Thursday's strike on Iran's major port came two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE's Fujairah Port.

Those strikes sparked anger among Gulf countries, officials told Griffin, though Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine had said during a Pentagon briefing May 5 that those attacks did not amount to a violation of the ceasefire.

Hegseth and Caine described the attacks as low-level incidents that did not rise to that threshold.

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.

Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.

CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

If they're firing on US ships, the War Powers Act is out the window. The US President has nearly unlimited inherent authority to defend US ships and bases from attack.

More from Ed Morrissey. The Iranians attacked us with "swarms of fast attack boats." I don't understand why those were allowed to continue existing.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at May 07, 2026 06:20 PM

Now, now, we're not talking about one of your cooked to mush, oversauced Passover briskets.

Yeah, anyone can do that.

But, the amount of lousy BBQ'd brisket outside of Texas puts lie to your statement.

However-

Technology has caught up with BBQ and eliminated the alchemical fufaraw of cooking a perfect brisket.

Anyone can cook a perfect BBQ's brisket these days pretty much every single time if you have a Wood Pellet Grill and a bluetooth meat thermometer. Zero guess work.

That goes double for ribs and-

triple for BBQ'd Pork, which was always training wheels BBQ for idjits.

26 OT - because of course they did:

Dozens of California-based representatives sent a letter Thursday to the state’s attorney general urging him to conduct a “full and robust review” of the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance Corporation.

“If you determine that this merger would have anticompetitive effects, use your best judgment to pursue the appropriate course of action,” the letter, signed by 34 members of Congress representing different districts in California, reads.

The effort was spearheaded by Rep. Laura Friedman — representing California’s 30th Congressional District — whose office confirmed it had previously been in touch with Paramount about the merger.
The letter’s concerns were reinforced by signatures from several high-profile Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Zoe Lofgren, Ted Lieu and Ro Khanna.

A group of House Democrats is urging the Trump administration to publicly acknowledge Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program, a move that would abandon decades of U.S. policy but confirm what has been an open secret among intelligence officials since the late 1960s.

In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio obtained by The Washington Post, more than two dozen lawmakers, led by Rep. Joaquin Castro (Texas), say Washington’s silence on the program is indefensible amid the war in Iran and the acute threat of military escalation.

The Carolinas are big pork producing states so pork dominates the BBQ scene there, just like Texas has big ranches and many head of cattle.

54 Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST! Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.” President DJT

Sheridan Gorman’s mother dropping hard truth after watching her daughter’s accused killer in court last week:
“They claimed he doesn’t understand English and has the mentality of a small child — so he can’t stand trial.”

Mom fired back:

“I saw him stand in the courtroom. He can stand. A small child doesn’t buy an illegal gun. A small child doesn’t stand at the end of a pier and execute someone.”

Even more damning — he was answering the judge before the translator could even speak. He understood every word.

The authorized use of Military Force from 9-11 is still in force, and allows the President to use force against ANY ALLY of Al Q and Bin Laden.

The Taliban were attacked by multiple US Presidents under this rubric... and the Taliban were funded, armed, and aided, by Iran.

Ergo, Iran was an ally of Bin Laden and Al Q... thus falling under the 9-11 Authorization.... Congress never put a time limit on it, nor rescinded it.

If only there was a rifle that was cheap and has been mass produced by every swinging dick the world over for the last 70 years that shot ammunition that is littered like confetti all over every third-world shithole known to man. And if only we had some sort of containerized delivery system by which those rifles and ammunition could be delivered to Iran.

108 Does this shit ever end in MN? From Alpha News:
===========
Alpha News has learned the executive director of the state’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was on the receiving end of more than $110,000 in taxpayer payments over six months for a publicly-funded adult foster care program he ran from a Rosemount residence.

What’s more, after Alpha News contacted Jaylani Hussein for comment on April 29, his name and phone number were removed from the license record.

Hussein, who has led the Minnesota chapter of CAIR since 2015, was — until days ago — listed as a license holder for an adult foster care program alongside co-licensee Fardosa Adan Hassan, according to state records.

Grew up in NC, now in Texas. This just isn't true in any way that I can figure out. Brisket is nonexistent in the Carolina BBQ repertoire, and that's what Texas BBQ is. Sure there's pulled pork here too but it's not as good as Carolina whole hog.

The Carolinas are big pork producing states so pork dominates the BBQ scene there, just like Texas has big ranches and many head of cattle.

Four months after masked federal agents shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis, New York leaders announced a plan to implement some of the strictest rules for immigration officials of any state in the country.

The package, which was included in the state budget deal announced on Thursday, prohibits state and local officials from entering into formal or informal cooperation agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and bars law enforcement agents from wearing masks.

The goal appears to not be regime change, the goal appears to be to break the financial and market hold the EU and the Brits have on the region.
They seem to kick up conflicts there any time the price of oil goes too high, and they also seem to profit from insuring the pipelines and shipping in the area, which demands a higher "war risk" premium when conflicts start.

Like Venezuela, once the outside funding goes away the outside influence stops being important, the the gulf states can go back to pumping and selling oil and figuring out what to do with their profits.
Regime change stops that process because it means everyone has to fight over who is boss. The way Trump is doing it, he is getting everyone to fight over who is boss first.

The midterms hinge on turnout. That is my only concern. Sadly lots of people turn out to vote for the king (so they think) and then they go home thinking their work is done, to hell with local and state government and Congress.

(I thought it was curious when voting for the school board the other day one of the election officials commented that if they hold an election, I show up. Well, I feel compelled to as a function of self-government. 83 ballots were cast in that election.)

Quick Hits

The family of Sheridan Gorman -- the co-ed brutally slain by an illegal alien who a Chicago city councilwoman blamed for her own death by saying she was in "the wrong place at the wrong time" -- corrects the record: No, the Venezuelan illegal alien killer was in the wrong place.

As commenters pointed out (and I missed), Democrats are currently shrieking MUH RACISM about Tennessee redrawing the Memphis-area district. That seat is currently held by a pasty white fraud named Steve Cohen.

I don't think Cohen is a black name.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Congressman Steve Cohen is reacting to the congressional map of Tennessee proposed by Republican state lawmakers on Wednesday.

U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen says it's devastating, and he believes it's a way to divide the Black vote in order to minimize its influence.

Protesters made their voices heard during a House committee hearing in Nashville over the proposed redistricting of District 9, which includes the city of Memphis.

"Memphis is Black, there's no denying that," protesters chanted.

Yeah but Cohen isn't. So the Maximize Minority Voting Power rule failed anyway.


"It devastates the work that has been done to rectify the injuries to African Americans because of years, centuries of slavery and decades of Jim Crow rule and Jim Crow laws," said Cohen.

Jesus, he's talking like he's Kunte J. Kinte.

By the way, he's already announced he's filing a hopeless, dilatory lawsuit only to run out the clock to keep his seat.

I cannot wait to cast an illegal vote in Tennessee against him.

And why shouldn't I? Democrats insist it's everyone's right to vote illegally.


Maybe things are changing: A judge ruled the Trump DOJ can keep 600+ boxes of "ballots" seized from Fani Willis' Fulton County, to inspect them for authenticity.

recountsvsaudits.jpg

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew

Exactly.

No one has ever inspected the actual ballots that didn't have an interest in the 2020 results being confirmed.

A federal grand jury has no obligation to accept any conclusions reached by anyone before them.

That's because no one before them had subpoena power of a federal court, and the ability to compel testimony under oath with a threat of contempt if they refuse.

This is a new ballgame played by different rules.

Update: They're still babbling that the seat held by Steve Cohen is his forever because "it's a black district."

SOMALI FRAUDSTER FACES ZERO JAILTIME

Said Awil Ibrahim pleaded guilty to carrying out massive Medicaid fraud, and will receive NO JAILTIME after taking a plea deal from MN Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Ibrahim will instead be given 5 years probation with a requirement to help track a missing fugitive co-defendant.

14 A thing about deportation numbers.

There's no clear one source of information.

ICE does arrests. Another part of DHS does deportations. Every federal agency is authorized to arrest for immigration offenses (Trump deputized them).

And different departures are classified differently.

Arrested and leave voluntarily? That's not a deportation. That's a voluntary departure. Arrested and forced onto the plane to Djibouti? That's a deportation. Just leaving without telling anyone? That's a self-deportation. Using the CBPOne app to record your departure? That's another category.

Did you know that recent studies are showing that for every one immigration arrest by ICE, six illegals leave the workforce in the area? Think they're just hanging out?

16 Justice Department can keep 2020 election ballots seized from Georgia’s Fulton County, judge rules. ~90% of Trump appointees are in the Federalist Society. Apparently they only make up 5-6% of lawyers in general so quite the powerful org if you want to toady your way to a Supreme Court seat.

We are so fucked. Like, seriously fucked. This is the game folks. Every election he doesn't like will be "fraud," and he will be able to toss out results.

The Department of Justice is going to make up some sort of Investigation into voting the regularities and they will use this to not swear in the new Congress.

this is full on election interference dry run type stuff. They are seeing how much they can get away with come the midterms and the answer is "everything" apparently

The US is never recovering from this. The US has collapsed into fascism and these are the dying throes of a dead country.

The idea of Trump seizing ballots in the midterms only to be stopped by the judicial branch should be an idea people are quickly realizing won’t happen. He will deploy ICE and the military in large cities to "secure" the ballots and count them...

116 So some excitement in the Strait tonight (there) as Iranian FACs mix it up with a Burke-class destroyer. No score yet reported.

There's still time to implement my plan before jetting off to Beijing.

Obvious move now is to force Iran to enforce their ridiculous claims to control the Strait. They might get some licks in, but they cannot survive a serious sustained offensive from us. They're defenseless. Full fury of air (manned and unmanned), sea (manned and unmanned), and special forces (kill missions) will inevitably eliminate their last "card".

Leaving the question of regime survival a tiny bit less critical (still needs to go), and further illustrating there's no fighting us and winning.

Launching this now, just before (during?) the Beijing trip, would be ..... chef's kiss. Let's see Chy-nah react to this. Lol.

118 14 A thing about deportation numbers.

There's no clear one source of information.

ICE does arrests. Another part of DHS does deportations. Every federal agency is authorized to arrest for immigration offenses (Trump deputized them).

And different departures are classified differently.

Arrested and leave voluntarily? That's not a deportation. That's a voluntary departure. Arrested and forced onto the plane to Djibouti? That's a deportation. Just leaving without telling anyone? That's a self-deportation. Using the CBPOne app to record your departure? That's another category.

Did you know that recent studies are showing that for every one immigration arrest by ICE, six illegals leave the workforce in the area? Think they're just hanging out?

123 A “Muslims-only” celebration at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie, Texas, has been canceled. The private gathering, scheduled for June 1st, was initially promoted on flyers circulating on social media as an exclusive event open "only" to Muslims and their families.

Halal food was to be served while the park provided a "private prayer area" for park-goers.

The announcement quickly triggered widespread backlash, with critics condemning the use of a public facility for blatant religious discrimination. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) intervened, warning city officials they risked losing $530,000 in state grants if the event moved forward.

126 Intel estimates of enemy situation in a closed hostile society is hard. Surprise! That's why they're called "estimates" ("appreciations" in the inevitably more sophistimicated and fancy British case).

Yes this violently contrasts with a public that gets its understanding of the world from TV shows and bad fiction (all fiction). But it's reality.

So *estimating* Iran's missile sitrep is dicey by definition. The publicly reported Mossad numbers don't differ by much, BTW. Some missiles are "entombed" in underground shelters, but many of those are recoverable (only the entrances were hit). And on and on.

Carry on.

In a just society whenever an illegal alien kills a citizen the surviving family members will get to take out one loud mouth talking head supporter, each. The loud mouth need not have any direct relationship to the killing.
This would be all perfectly legal in this just society, but discretion is a requirement because 'surprise' 'just happens' when it comes to illegal alien invaders and supporting them.

I'm good with immigration being the child of an immigrant. She's based AF. According to you she should be shipped out just for being from a country with not much experience with representative democracy and the rule of law. To me, I think if you stroll across the border, you get bounced, and if you are a legal immigrant, cool - but we just shouldn't let everyone in at once. We can't. We let in limited amounts of people and if they cut out of line in the slightest way, they get bounced. And some years we don't let in anybody because we need to take care of our own. But blanket hatred of foreigners? You're all wet.

Tennessee Passes New Gerrymandered Map Which Will, Hopefully, Eliminate the Last Democrat-Held Congressional Seat

And that seat is held by hyperpartisan asshole Steve Cohen and oh boy, will I be glad to see the back of him.

Below, the map has redrawn the map so that parts of Democrat-stronghold Memphis will be included with big swathes of red country voters, hopefully flipping it to Republicans.

It's a dirty gerrymander but Democrats have long been playing this game dirty as hell for decades. As people keep pointing out, New England, as a whole, is 40% Republican -- but Republicans have no seats in any NE state, because they've all been gerrymandered so that Democrats outnumber them in each and every bizarrely-crafted district.

tennesseegerrymander.png

It's just one seat. It will take Tennessee -- one hopes -- from 8 to 1 to 9 to 0.

But every seat is precious, as declares the masthead credo of Modern Butt Magazine.

National Pulse:

Tennessee Republicans have put forward a new congressional map that could secure all nine of the state's congressional districts for the GOP by eliminating a Democrat-represented district that was gerrymandered in order to create a black voting majority. Governor Bill Lee (R) had called the state legislature into a special session on Friday in to consider redistricting following a Supreme Court ruling against racial gerrymandering.

DETAIL: The proposed map divides the majority-black district in Shelby County, potentially displacing Representative Steve Cohen, and also alters Maury County to favor Republican incumbent Rep. Andy Ogles.

Democrats handled the political setback as they always do, with disorder, intimidation, and threat of violence:


Below, a Black Supremacist shows off his Double Layer Anti-Accountability Armor by getting into cops faces and calling them "boy" and "motherf***er" because they won't let him charge the speaker's podium and shut down voting.


Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson

What is happening in this video from the Tennessee State Capitol is empirically worse than anything that happened on January 6th.

Question:

Should we expect libs to throw a new J6 every time they lose -- Is this the norm?

Its happened 100 times this year

#Accurate. The only difference is that the cops didn't begin executing "protesters" here.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Yeah I know jokes like that are nasty and a little dangerous but all the Democrats are wishing for our deaths, why can't we wish for theirs?

Defenders of Cohen and pre-Callais districts make it no longer about black representation but black choice.

However, outside of that, the argument is that there will be fewer black representatives in Congress.

There are several known unknowns at play. They could have large effects. They could have minimal effects. They could have effects in reverse of what we expect.

But the biggest thing is that the 2020 census led to an overall draw of maps that made swing districts really rare. This mid-decade will be expanding that group of safe seats, but it's of course just the question of who does the most.

On balance...I end up just ceding to conventional wisdom of how midterms work because I really don't know how these extras will affect things. Really...how much of an effect was USAID on US elections? It's a big question.

I do not oppose partisan gerrymandering because it is the spoils of political war and the benefits of paying attention to your own state's politics.

Any other way to draw congressional districts is to give power to people not elected by the people, to deny the will of the people in how they structure their representation.

Simple mechanistic solution: each State gets number of Reps based upon its population. So say State X gets 9 Reps. Start at the southern border of X, and scroll an E-W line North until 1/9 of X's population is south of that line. There is District 1. Rinse and repeat.

Posted by: pookysgirl knows democracy when she sees it at May 07, 2026 04:47 PM (Wt5PA)

94 So a couple of thoughts on right leaning gerrymandering...

Ideally we'd stop gerrymandering over all but there is no way to honestly do so. Human beings will decide how to divide up the map and they will do so on the basis of their own observed self interest which here will follow their political orientation.

This has become a bigger issue because of just how far the left has gotten we aren't debating slight changes to tax rates any more. And in turn Democrats have gotten extreme because they've become to rely more and more on fake votes - the dead, illegals, and people submitting ballots on behalf of people that aren't going to vote.

Now the one caveat in all this is what the Dems do with their urban fraud machines.

When they are already +30 in a district they are somewhat limited in what they will do at the House race level because it doesn't matter. But if Memphis produces 4X as many ballots as registered voters to win these new districts are state officials ready to deal with it?

As of last week, the Appeals Court shot down Memphis' injunction to kick out the NG and return the city to control by its gang-run government. Too bad, so sad, Memphis """Police""" Department!

All that's left now is for the Statehouse to revoke that fucking city's charter, disincorporate and send their thug government packing, to be replaced at a later date, once it's cleaned up.

99 Confound the next libtard you meet by pronouncing it 'gary-mander'. The original pronunciation. Named after Elbridge Gerry, a Founding Father and fifth Vice President of the United States.

Also ask them where the '-mander part comes from. It's from salamander. A political opponent said a Boston-area state senate district drawn by Gerry resembled a mythological salamander. Helping spread and sustain the term, a political cartoon depicted a strange animal with claws, wings, and a dragon-like head that supposedly resembled the oddly shaped district.

102 Of course, these little wins mean nothing if voter turnout remains lethargic in off-year primaries and elections.

What the data shows in the special elections is Rs showing up to vote at normal rates and Ds showing up at off year election rates.

The argument the FNM makes is D voters are more animated, which doesn't actually seem right based on my circle, but it could, and likely IS, a reflection that when you have a small number of fixers submitting ballots it is as easy to get them to do so for a special election as any other

Ideally, state legislatures would be geographic, reducing the power of cities, and making the commie dems a rump party of perverts and losers.

Then gerrymander the dems completely out of federal elections -- how many times do they have to be proven wrong, corrupt, commie, and incompetent?

Maybe they get a couple Senate seats in commie states like Vermont, but even CA would be R if the elections were fair.

I lived in Memphis and Shelby County and, unfortunately, that part of Tennessee deserves a democrat. And they got a boatload of corrupt crap in Cohen. And while I'm glad Cohen's going to have to find a real job now, I wish instead that Shelby County had just come to its senses....

190 By having extra people on the voter rolls (dead, moved, fake, etc.) they can hide fake ballots being added on Election Day.

If, say, the legitimate number of registered voters is X, but there’s an additional 100k registered ghost voters, then it’s not as obvious when they dump 15k extra ballots into the mix ( or find them the day after election) because the sum total of votes cast won’t come close to exceeding total registered voters. As each type of ghost registrant is removed from the rolls, the harder it is to statistically hide ballot dumps.

They must have the most inflated voter rolls possible so that 82 million votes for Biden can be argued legitimate.

That's why we have reps of different areas; because those people of that area have a different opinion than those in another area.

Otherwise we wouldn't need reps. We could simply elect one person to say how it's going to be.

This describes what the Dems are trying to do in Virginia. If you move to Southwest VA because you like that speed of life and the people that live there (sane, normal people) you should get a rep that lives near there, not some danger-haired AWFUL from NoVA, which is what you'll get if the Dems manage to steal that entire state.

Gavin Newsom Gave $40 Million in California Taxpayer Dollars to an Islamist Hate Group Who Advised Muslims to Call for the Death of Jews Privately, But Avoid Saying So on Public Media

So Californians paid $40 million to promote taqiyya?

The Party of Plunder, continued:

Why Did California Award This Alleged Hamas Front $40 Million?

Other states are trying to shutter CAIR branches. Gavin Newsom is writing them checks.


The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) presents itself as an innocuous Muslim civil rights group--a reputation it reinforces with litigation and claims of anti-Muslim bigotry. But the group finds itself under increasing scrutiny for alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Hamas. Last November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist organization. The following month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed suit, citing CAIR's being listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorism financing case.

But as other states move to sideline CAIR, California is embracing this alleged terror front. CAIR-CA, the organization's largest statewide affiliate, is flush with taxpayer cash. In the last five years, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has rubberstamped at least $41 million in funding to the group. The vast majority of that money, it turns out, comes from the federal government. These federal dollars are flowing into CAIR-CA's coffers even after it was the target of a recent Department of Justice investigation.

This City Journal report--based on a trove of documents provided to us by the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), a California-based nonprofit--reveals good reason for the DOJ to be digging into CAIR-CA. It also raises serious questions about why Gavin Newsom's government is funding a chapter of an organization with alleged terrorist ties.

CAIR was founded in 1994 with the ostensible aim of advancing Muslim-American civil rights. The organization claims that it "is not and never has been an agent" or affiliate of "any militant group." But the historical record offers justification to question that characterization.

...
One would think that CAIR's ties to an Islamist terror group would make government agencies pause before providing it with public funds. But under Governor Gavin Newsom, California's state government has seemingly never met a "marginalized group" it did not want to shower with other people's money. CAIR-CA is rolling in tax dollars.

In 2022, CDSS awarded CAIR-CA $7.2 million in federal funds via a state program to provide immigration-related legal assistance. For its part, CAIR-CA pledged to serve approximately 1,800 people through September 2024, and earlier this year, claimed to have fulfilled that promise "across . . . various subgrantees." According to IAN, a public records request submitted to the CDSS did not confirm how many legal cases have been handled as part of the grant; in its most recent annual report, CAIR-CA said that it had helped "dozens of Afghan families" through the project. In September 2025, CDSS rubberstamped an additional $23 million in federal funds for CAIR-CA.
In 2024, CAIR-CA's IRS filings revealed that it had distributed more than $4 million in subgrants to 39 organizations. Among these sub-grantees were various groups with Islamist ties. For example, CAIR-CA sub-granted roughly $185,000 to California chapters of the Muslim American Society (MAS). GWU's Program on Extremism identifies MAS as an open "Brotherhood legacy group" in the U.S. In 2004, a top MAS official estimated that nearly half of the organization's activists were Muslim Brotherhood members. (MAS, which did not respond to our request for comment, claims to have "no affiliation" with the Muslim Brotherhood.)

Ah, "subgrantees" once again -- the way that corrupt government officials launder money illegally to banned groups. Fauci did the same with funding the creation of covid-19 -- he awarded a grant to his butt buddy Peter Daszak's EcoHealth, who then did the thing that Fauci was forbidden to do and sent money to the Wuhan's Covid lab to create the virus that shut down the world.


CAIR-CA also sub-granted $30,000 to the Islamic Society of Orange County, which has ties to an individual connected to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In 1992, ISOC's director invited Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh," to deliver a lecture, during which he reportedly "dismissed" nonviolent interpretations of jihad. A year later, Rahman was charged with seditious conspiracy for his connection to the attack. (ISOC did not respond to our request for comment.)

In 2024, CAIR-CA sub-granted $117,000 to California "relief" chapters of the Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA was originally established as a U.S. affiliate of the Jamaat-e-Islami movement, whose founder's ideology influenced the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, in 2000, a former ICNA president penned an article that seemingly endorsed the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the U.S. (ICNA did not respond to our request for comment.)

CAIR-CA has claimed, however implausibly, that it has no control over the selection of its sub-grantees. In January 2026, the director of CAIR-CA, Hussam Ayloush, wrote to a congressional subcommittee claiming that his organization "had no input or role" in determining the sub-grantees. Instead, he suggested that CDSS had selected them.

While CDSS told IAN that it "reviews and authorizes all . . . subgrantees," the department did not release records showing that it approved or authorized the CAIR-CA sub-grants. Additionally, Alyoush's signature appears on the sub-grant contracts, which, according to IAN, suggests that CAIR-CA exercised significant discretion over millions in federal tax dollars.

Below, the well-heeled terrorist Newsom is paying huge sums of money to advises Muslims not to say hateful terrorist things on LinkedIn, but says that you can say these things in the privacy of Muslim spaces, and certainly you may think and believe them.


She warns that advocating "things I can't say" about "Zionist" is "not strategic," but you can say it around a Muslim center if you're so inclined. Just be "strategic" in your support of terrorism and murder of non-Muslims!



Related: CAIR is paying students disciplined by their colleges for rioting and threatening Jews $1,000, the same as Hamas pays off "martyrs."

Disastrous Charlotte Dem Mayor Abruptly Resigns

"Serving as Charlotte's mayor has been the honor of my life," Lyle announced on Thursday, reports WCNC Charlotte. "Now, it is time for the next phase of my life, to spend more time with my grandchildren and for someone new to lead us forward."

Perhaps Lyles’s most shameful moment was her reaction to the murder of young Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte Area Transit System subway. Serial criminal Decarlos Brown randomly stabbed Iryna to death and then, based on surveillance footage, gloated to himself repeatedly, “Got the white girl.” Lyles did not even mention Iryna‘s name in her statement after the murder, nor did she condemn the brutal crime. Instead, she fixated on building up a sob story over the murderer.

The Democrat mayor solemnly warned against demonizing the homeless, as if Brown’s long series of crimes culminating in deadly butchery were due to people making critical comments about homelessness. “We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness and mental health,”

60 The sad thing is, CA giving the $100 million raised for Palisades fire victims to a bunch of ngos, who then spent it on their own pet projects, is the norm.

Same thing happened in Maine with money raised for a mass shooting incident. Went to ngos, including Muslim ones who used it to help immigrants. None of the Maine residents/American citizens saw a dime.

If you donate, donate to the charity directly related to the cause, preferably local. Otherwise, it web eaten up is administrative costs Ang distributed to other organizations/causes.

_______

Always always always read the fine print whenever you donate.

90% of the time, there's a disclaimer that says the donations can be used for almost any purpose, including funneling to NGOs. I'll bet any amount of money this was the case with the Palisades donations.

And it ain't just fetid commie fundraisers. The Red Cross occasionally gets into trouble when it raises big money for a specific event. People think they are donating to help with that specific event. But in reality, the fine print says you are donating to the Red Cross generally, and it could be used for anything.

That meant last night...his arm was fresh from the wound and relatively loosely wrapped in bandages. I slept in his room offering him solace whenever he woke up in pain which was...frequent. I'm tired.

But, he has a full cast on now as of this morning. I learned that cast wrapping is made of fiberglass, which is neat.

87 One would think that CAIR's ties to an Islamist terror group would make government agencies pause before providing it with public funds.
One would think that a simple reading of the Constitution would make government pause before authorizing any of this money to spent at all on "NGOs".

What constitutional activity was this money going for? To combat "islamophobia"? Because that would, arguably, be establishment of religion, given that the reason people express themselves negatively about Islam is its religious doctrines (the ones about killing infidels, Jews, and Christians, in particular).

Who would you pick today for a young male action star?

I would look at MMA and the "action stunt" circuit, like the Red Bull-sponsored stuff that Ace posts in the Cafes.

As the Likely All-Time Star Wars Box Office Failure Mandalorian and Grogu Is Set to Bomb on May 22, Lunatic Abortion-Thirsty Former Celebrity Mark Hamill Publicly Prays for the Death of the President

As always: the subhed is Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Mark Hamill appeared in the TV show the film is based on -- well, he didn't "appear," a de-aged CGI double of him "appeared," one that doesn't look like a wad of chewed gum covered in a homeless man's beard-hairs -- and it's very likely this assassination-wishing communist death-cultist will appear in the Disney Groomer Organization's new disaster.

They calculated that this would stoke audience interest.

So now this lunatic does this, and the same Groomer corporation who fired and defamed Gina Carano for saying her pronouns were "beep/boop" stands behind their assassination prepper.

trumpdeathwish.jpg

Julia 🇺🇸
@Jules31415

3h

Mark Hamill knows exactly what he's doing.

If you read the comments in the Bluesky thread, it's inspiring many mentally ill individuals to fantasize about this scenario--and even call for it.

I've even had leftists calling for it in my thread this morning. Sick--and in some cases, potentially criminal. Our country is in real trouble.

Barack Obama, who ordered the mass-prosecution of his political opponent, his staff, and their lawyers, and who now (as ever) pals around with a terrorist, expresses his disappointment that modern Republicans don't "respect the rule of law" like he did.


John Kass asks the question many of us have been asking ourselves: What if Republicans began agitating for the murder of Barack Obama like Barack Obama's cultists agitate for the murder of Trump?


The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life.

But none dared stand up to the rabid left that has tried to take Trump's life and threatened the lives of other Republicans, from Republicans in Congress shot by an angry leftist at a baseball practice, to conservatives on the Supreme Court. And I wondered:

What would happen if Obama's life had been repeatedly threatened with assassins failing three times in a matter of months and Republicans called Obama a fascist What if conservatives appear on late night TV talk shows to mock Michelle Obama the way ABC's Jimmy Kimmel tastelessly mocked First Lady Melania Trump, and dared say Michelle was "glowing like an expectant widow?" How long would he have a show?

Don't think of it as some parlor game. Think of it happening right now, for real.

Would Kimmel keep his $16 million salary and perks if he mocked Michelle? Would the blue cities burn at the hands of angry blacks as the cities burned during the Democrat "Summer of Love in 2020 when the left turned the violent drug-addicted thug George Floyd into a saint?

The broken legacy media won't address this and or dare challenge their rabid leftist subscriber base. I don't see the Chicago Tribune and the rest of Chicago media demanding that Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker shut his Ozempically skinny lips and insist he stop inciting assassination by repeatedly screaming lies that Trump is a Nazi and Fascist?

I'm sure you can outline the issue. Three assassination attempts and they will continue because the hard left demands it.

These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be.

We're tired of playing by different rules.

If the real rules supported by the Democrat-Media Complex say that it is understandable and even noble to agitate a movement's more excitable members to kill people the movement doesn't like, the countdown to the Republican embrace of this rule is officially ticking down.

John Kass, continued:

As Jimmy Kimmel basks in all the attention he's getting, has anyone had the good manners to think of Tuffy Gessling?

You've forgotten Tuffy?

He's the Missouri rodeo clown banned for life for mocking Obama, daring to ask the crowd if they wanted to see another clown in an Obama mask "get run down" by a bull.

Gesseling was forced to march the walk of shame and he was banned. FOR LIFE. And he was a real clown not some buffo from Chicago who had the crooked influence peddler Tony Rezko buy him a Chicago dreamhouse while presenting publicly as some kind of virtuous political reformer.

And the great Hank Williams Jr. had an iconic song, one of my favorites, titled Are you ready for some football? It was deleted from Monday Night Football." He called Obama some kind of Hitler. And apparently only white male Republicans can be called the 'h' word, but Obama may never be mocked that way. Never, ever.

But ESPN/ABC currently defends Kimmel for his tasteless attacks on The First Lay Melania Trump and the Trump family.

15 I think this is the logical end result of epistemic closure.

The left has built such an impregnable bubble that they cannot imagine any other viewpoint but their own.

In the 90s, the ration of liberal to conservative professors on campus was about 3 to 1.

Massively lopsided, but with 1/4 of the professorate being conservative, liberals at least were exposed to conservative ideas and had to understand there was a debate.

The ratio is now 9 to 1 and many areas are 100 to 0. The people most harmed by this are the liberals, ironically. They don't realize that they are a minority and start pushing money-losing idea like "the future is female!".

As of May 2026, reports are unconfirmed, but it is heavily rumored that Elliot Page is cast to play the ghost of Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. While Page is confirmed to have joined the film's cast, specific character details remain undisclosed.

Key Details on the Rumor
The Role: The rumor suggests Page will appear as the "ghost of Achilles" (or a shade) rather than the living warrior from The Iliad, fitting the narrative of The Odyssey where Odysseus encounters dead heroes.

I choose to believe it. TBF, there's a difference between Achilles, and the ghost of Achilles.

There was some discussion on here a while back about this phenomenon, and IIRC it's because modern movies are mixed for their eventual release to home audiences, not for theater viewing. Most people don't have true home theaters with big side channel speakers, so they boost everything that is mapped to those to make it audible at home, thus when in a theater that has a proper sound system those channels completely overwhelm everything else.

268 212 Shadows of the Empire would be ... 2.5? I guess? LucasArts did that one to revive hype before those prequels.

Shadows was a full-blown "let's do everything we'd normally do for a movie - merchandising, novels, tie-ins, etc. - without actually doing a movie." In hindsight it was a dry-run of the prequel plan in the same way that the Special Editions were dry runs for the kinds of sequences George was planning for those films.

The game is rough to go back to today, but the best thing about it is that it inspired the creation of the Rogue Squadron games. The second one, which is sadly still locked to the GameCube, is one of the greatest Star Wars games of all time.

298 The primary reasons for declining testosterone levels in young males is a combination of:

. Poor Diet (diets high in processed foods and sugars contribute to insulin resistance and nutrient deficiencies like zinc& vitamin D, hindering testosterone synthesis;

. Rising Obesity and Metabolic Health Issues (excess body fat converts testosterone into estrogen);

. Reduced Physical Activity and Sedentary Lifestyles (including chronic sleep deprivation, with high stress -- which leads to elevated cortisol and significantly suppressed testosterone production); and

. Environmental and Chemical Exposure (increased exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals -- such as BPA and phthalates in plastics and pesticides -- that interfere with hormone regulation.

306 "These questions are no longer hypothetical, like they used to be."

The ugly not-so-hidden secret is that The Left (and about half of the Democrat-voting population) have wanted whomever the GOP leader is to be dead for decades. Going back to Reagan (heck, Nixon), they wished death upon them. Granted, TDS has made it the most openly-hostile since, probably, Lincoln, the Left has always been disproportionately represented by violence against reason and law. And since Trump is the single-most driven and effective leader we've had since possibly Washington, he's going to be expressly vilified and attacked without apology or introspection.

I'm agnostic, but I pray for Trump, his administration, and their families. Assassination Culture is not imaginary. Third World countries live it and the DNC proactively imports/promotes this philosophy via illegal immigration and foreign ideology.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Investigates Evidence That the "Intelligence" Community Treasonously Covered Up for China's Election Interference So That Neither Trump or Congress Could Do Anything About It

The real election interference comes, as usual, from the treasonous Democrats' foreign communist and corrupt pals.


Just the News:


DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show

The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China's actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a "false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not."

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.

The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence -- much of it yet classified -- last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020

The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump's candidacy in 2020.

The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.

They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter -- the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber -- trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter's whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.

The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President's Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.


These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.

One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject.

The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race.

...

It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China's communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.

Shortly after 9/11 a whistle blower from the NSA came forward to say his program had identified that Atta was in the US and engaged in a terrorist operation. He further noted that his concerns were dismissed and his program was shut down.

BUT it wasn't because of his Atta finding. His program had also identified a number of American political leaders were on the Chinese payroll and THAT is what got his program shut down.

Can you imagine for one second after being "selected", Bush putting out any kind of order to begin searching Muslims or paying attention to their contacts in other countries because he had a warning? Would the Left say the warning was real or fake? Would they have been calm or exploded in a rage?

Hamill shared what appears to be an AI-generated photo on his verified BlueSky account, depicting Trump in a flower-surrounded grave, in front of a gravestone that reads, "Donald J. Trump 1946-2024," with the words "If Only" written on the photo.

That's crazy if you have a country worth defending. I'm in Canada and my government LOATHES me so obviously my price to sell out my government would be lower. Much lower.

If people were going to invade and eliminate.....never mind.

Much lower.

199 Trump's terms for addressing/discussing foreign leaders, including adversaries, is distinctive, and amusing. I wouldn't get too wound up about "my friend Xi."

In one of his best evuh, Trump not long ago referred to the corrupt cartoonishly autocratic president-for-life of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, AKA Uncle Sasha, as "the highly respected" president of Belarus. (narrator: nobody not in the hands or sights of the Belarus security services "respects" Uncle Sasha, even nationalistic Russians mock him)

Hilarious. But this was Trump's way of thanking Lukashenko for moving to resolve an issue of Americans in detention. So it was fine.

I know that it's viscerally satisfying to have executions publicly "cruel" (hanging, firing squad, gas chamber, "old sparky", burning at the stake, drawn and quartered, flayed alive, etc, etc, etc) but I view that as counterproductive.
I think that the purpose of execution is to simply remove people who don't deserve to live. Anything which impedes the efficiency of that is a problem, and political and legal obstructions are much enhanced under the cruel and unusual clause of the Constitution. Therefore, the quicker and more painless method will result in more bad guys removal.
Which is why I push for the " small sealed room and a tank.of nitrogen" method. Quick, painless, and, as an extra, cheap.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Child Predators Working as Staff Around Children on a Disney Cruise Ship
Plus: Seattle's Woke Wallflower Communist Mayor Exceeds Even My High Expectations for Excellence

Well, it is the Disney Groomer Corporation so I understand why they felt they were welcomed to hunt for prey on the ship.

A group of alleged child predators were arrested after they'd been working around children and families aboard a Disney cruise.

They were apprehended by the same immigration agents Democrats want to defund.

KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid:

"On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."

"The arrestees were transported to Los Angeles for processing, and their visas were revoked," the ICE spokeswoman continued.

The New York Post clarified that it's unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved.

Dharmi Mehta, a passenger on a Disney cruise, said that witnessing the arrests was "really unsettling."

...

Benjamin Prado from Union del Barrio stated, "This is not an isolated incident," adding, "In fact, it has become a growing pattern, not only here in San Diego but throughout this country.

In related news, two Cultural Enrichment Officers, one probably (according to the communist med) a doctor curing cancer and the other most likely an engineer who's about to create unlimited energy out of Love, savagely attacked an elderly man in Seattle, currently governed by yet another Woke Wallflower Communist Democrat.

Note that one of the Cultural Enrichment Officers was actually arrested on another assault charge that night -- and was, of course, immediately released without bail. He's now in the wind.

Oh, and he's a Somali. Which might mean he's here legally.

Both men were ID'd thanks to surveillance cameras posted in high-crime areas.

The Woke Wallflower Communist opposes these cameras because, she fears, ICE could "take control" of the cameras and use them to spot dangerous criminal illegal aliens.

Such as the Cultural Enrichment Officers who just curb-stomped a 77-year-old man for literally no reason except their demonic racism and lust to hurt people of other races.


This dishrag dirtbag, who never worked a day in her life because she's a Trust Fund C**t, had her aide stop an interview when the White Man viciously asked her about her policy on surveillance cameras. "Stay on topic," the White Man (spit!) was ordered. "The topic" being the things this squalid unfuckable wanted to talk about.

Even the left-wing media is pointing out that she seems unfit to govern as she's incapable of answering questions:

Meanwhile, two days ago, a little girl was raped at a Seattle bus stop by a homeless man seen moments before shitting in the street.

This Cultural Enrichment Officer was also caught on camera.

It's Thursday! One of the best days of the week because it spoons up with Friday.

In crow news: I just ordered a crow caller off Amazon for $13. The device is actually used for turkey hunting, because turkeys will make a racket and move around if they think a crow is circling them, but reviews say that it attracts crows, too. A lot of reviews say they bought the thing to "befriend a crow." It's a craze that can't be stopped.

I'll let you know if the thing is worth the thirteen buck.

51 Washington just became the first state to liquidate a public employee pension fund that largely served police and fireman. The fund wasn’t in any trouble, in fact it was funded at 160% of obligations and hadn’t required any fiscal intervention. It was on track to be 200% funded in a few years with a $4.3 billion surplus.

What it represented was a big pot of money which the legislature could steal to plug fiscal holes they created and carry out their political wish list.

No public hearing. Non fanfare. Every Democrat and the governor approved it

This is what happens when you constantly elect one party to office, especially after they’ve gone full communist.

We have raves here in Northern AZ. The couples are kind of cute, make interesting mating noises, and are tender with each other. I often see one or more chasing red-tail hawks away from presumably one or more of their nests.

Before we escaped Southern Califzuela, we frequently had groups of loud & obnoxious crows in the neighborhood. They'd sit on the peak of the rooftop of the home across the street continually squawking -- to the point where I started picking up and throwing rocks at them to get them to scatter and leave me in peace.

The downtown area around the convention center was weird. There wasn't any poop on the sidewalks, and all of the public transit trains were clean and clear of bums.

But more than half of the commercial space was empty and vacant. It had an almost ghost town vibe to it.

Pike Place was the only area that had any kind of vibrancy in a circus flea market type of vibe, and you can tell that the city has dumped a ton of money into the waterfront area around there. Which, I have to say, as far as urban waterfronts are concerned, Seattle's views aren't the best.

Spot on.
Back in the days when voter turnout was 45-50% on a good day, people would moan about how poor it was, when in reality the people were generally satisfied with things. When voter turnout got to 60%, it was because something was on the ballot that annoyed them. Anything above 65% tells you the voters are pissed. The dems can hide behind jungle primaries and vote by mail, but it will eventually catch up with them, and usually in an ugle way.

On May 1st, Viviana aka “Vivi” joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love. 💕

Congratulations!

I remember not long after 9/11, on a quick vacation to Catalina Island, walking around alone in the stillness late one night (insomnia) -- and looking for a station to tune into on my portable transistor radio.

I picked up one of the local L.A. talk radio show hosts (likely a rebroadcast from earlier in the day) -- Dennis Prager. A young, recently-married adult male called-in to say that -- although he and his wife wanted to have children -- he was afraid to bring a child into the world at that (traumatic for many) time.

I remember Prager's response: "Bringing a child into the world is the ultimate expression of optimism in the future."

275 Wife and I just took a repositioning cruise on a premium but not luxury line. We befriended a few crewmembers over the many sea days.

Cruise ship crews are as cliquish as a US high school, and they split along lines of departments, job functions, and national origin in addition to individual personalities.

The hotel, food and beverage, and entertainment employees are on six-month to eight-month contracts. They stick to a single line as a rule and generally stick to a single ship over their careers. This results in friendships and interpersonal conflicts that can form over many years of tours.

On the mainstream lines, the ships are all big enough to house large enough crews for problematic gangs to form. The bullshit is the same as we have on land: drugs, prostitution, gambling, and extortion.

Supposedly kickbacks and certification fraud are huge problems for crew from India just like it is in US work visa programs and offshore working arrangements.

Seattle gets earthquakes less often.

However, Mr. Ranier is a symptom of their geological risk, rather than the cause.

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is the name of the configuration where an oceanic tectonic plate is being forced UNDER the land of Washington and Oregon.

It is capable of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

309 When we lived in FL, an hour from Orlando on the Atlantic, we took our boys to Disney World twice. It was sort of fun but theme parks give me headaches and we'd go in the off season when kids and tourists were not there. That was it for us.

I knew some locals who had "season tickets" and did not understand it then or now. I know people in the West who love Disney. I appear to lack the magic gene.

Our musician son worked two summers in the Disney Collegiate Band, which was a great experience for him. I don't think it exists now, but kids from all of the USA competed for a spot and he met many friends he still keeps in contact with. Clinics by professional visiting musicians.

H lived in a dorm for the summer at UCF. Told us of the tunnels running under the theme parks, so I could see it being used for trafficking in the past.

I never liked Disney much once the "magic" wore off for our boys.

I'd rather die painfully, have to sit next to cabbage/pee Hillary on a Greyhound bus with no AC, or kiss Biden than go on a Disney Cruise.

Between the Disney characters and a cruise ship would do me in. Which we will never try I don't care how wonderful cruises are, and our son has tried.

A naive analysis looks at our government and assesses it as incompetent. They take in all this money and don't actually resolve any of the problems they are supposed to!

But if this was simple incompetence it would eventually get resolved, and things used to play out that way. Remember we went through a cycle of bad urban governance that changed with the likes of Rudy.

But that will not happen any more, because the goal of government is NOT to resolve the issues voters complain about, but instead to enrich the people in government and their clients.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

Funny how governments obfuscate their financial decisions with high-minded platitudes about the social good and moving forward and building community. The Norwegian government decided to reopen those fields for one reason...tax receipts from the sale of that natural gas will be through the roof. And then they will be able to pay (for a little while) for the massive welfare state that has developed in the last 25 years, as the immigrant population has tripled. Yes...tripled! 6% in 2000, to 18% today.

Norway to Reopen 3 Gas Fields Shut Down in 1998

Norway has approved plans to reopen three gas fields in the North Sea that were shut down nearly three decades ago, a move the government says will support European energy security.

The Ministry of Energy said on May 5 that it has approved development plans for the Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, and Tommeliten Gamma fields, all located in the Ekofisk area in the southern North Sea.

The fields were discovered in the 1970s and began production between 1977 and 1988, but were closed in 1998 during a redevelopment of the Ekofisk field.

Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the reopening showed the continuing value of Norway’s offshore assets.


Norway is positioned well in comparison to most of the rest of Europe, because they are almost entirely powered by hydro power. They use petroleum for profit, which sounds good, but they are unbelievably smug and hypocritical about going carbon-zero domestically, because they pay for it with petroleum exports!

Gas will be exported to Emden in Germany, while condensate, a light liquid hydrocarbon that is separated from natural gas, will be sent to Teesside in the UK.

Unlike Norway, Germany has moved more cautiously, backing limited domestic and cross-border gas projects, while the UK’s major new North Sea projects remain caught between energy–security arguments, court rulings, and a government net-zero policy shift away from new drilling licenses.

Germany and the UK are collaborating on net-zero goals—the total “decarbonization” of all sectors away from fossil fuels—with Germany targeting 2045 and the UK 2050.


Ah yes...the two European economies failing the fastest! Destroying domestic energy production, welcoming millions of 3rd world savages who are busily draining the government coffers while simultaneously catering to their every cultural demand does not sound like a solid basis for a 21st century economy! Germany is particularly suicidal...they had 19 functioning nuclear power plants in 2000, and today? Zero. None. At least the UK only cut nuclear power by half, not the absolutely insanity of the Germans.

But both countries are fixated on carbon-zero economies, and both countries will fail. Perhaps they can repurpose their highways and use them for solar generation? Nobody will be able to drive anyway. Or start cutting down their forests for a few years' worth of heating. That would work!

It is impossible to run a modern economy on renewables, except for a few small countries that have hydro or geothermal. The other technologies simply don't work. The sun doesn't shine very much at night, and the wind doesn't blow 24 hours a day! Plus, the destructiveness of solar and wind is the dirty little secret of the environmental lobbies. Solar is inefficient and sucks up huge amounts of land. Wind generation is also inefficient, uses a huge amount of petroleum during construction, and is famously unreliable. Then at the end of their functional lives, these installations are enormously difficult to recycle. Mostly they get dumped into land fills!

And the upshot of all of this communist/environmental nonsense is that electricity rates in Germany have almost tripled since 2000. And in the UK? Pretty much the same! But all of those Germans and Brits can feel satisfied that they are saving the earth! as they freeze in the winter and boil in the summer.

At least the Germans can enjoy their fast cars for a little while longer on those good highways of theirs...right? Except that their fuel costs between double and triple what ours costs.

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at their predicament. They have no one to blame except themselves and their feckless leaders. In 50 years, when the UK and Germany are the poorest countries in Europe, and on the fast track to being governed by Sharia law, I wonder whether their citizenry will question their decisions, or will they continue to blame everyone else?

10 It's almost funny to see these virtue-signalling Euro's handicapping their economies with stupid Net Zero initiatives.
Meanwhile, China has over 1,200 coal fired generation plants, with hundreds more under construction and planned.

The US has around 200 such coal fired plants by comparison.

The Chinese burn coal shipped in from the US and Australia, which is carried across oceans by hundreds of ships burning fossil fuel derived energy. Such a joke.

China is allowed to continue to pump massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, as under the Paris Accord they considered a "developing nation".

If it wasn't so stupid and detrimental to Western Civilization it would be to laugh.

I'm not challenging, I'm honestly curious.
Posted by: XTC at May 07, 2026 11:02 AM (FpHTM)

With almost any produce (grown thing) it is about the soil and how they are grown (how quickly.) A LOT of produce is grown in China. Their soil is shit and they have used a old soviet chemical that dramatically increases growth rate and size, but also depletes soil quickly (their already shit soil.)

So you have these massive berries or tomatoes or whatever, but they have no flavor. They are usually pale and just kind of disgusting looking. Saw it with strawberries sourced from there... fuck almost 20 years ago.

44 Note in leftwing forums they note "but they have free healthcare!"

Support for the National Health Service is virtually 100%, yet the vast majority of the population is deeply dissatisfied with it. Make it make sense.

According to a December 2024 poll, almost nobody in Britain (only 1%) supports abolishing the NHS. Despite very high dissatisfaction—with 51–59% of the public reporting they are unhappy with the service in 2024–2025—the vast majority still support a publicly funded system, with 89% wanting it to remain free at the point of use.
Desire for Radical Change: 63% of Britons want a radical overhaul, rather than getting rid of it entirely.Satisfaction Rates: As of early 2026, 26% of British adults are satisfied with the NHS, with 51% remaining dissatisfied.
Core Principle Support: 81–83% of Britons favor the NHS continuing to be funded through taxation.
Privatisation Concern: 66% of people are concerned about outsourcing the health service to private companies.

While dissatisfaction has reached historic highs, the public generally seeks reform and better funding rather than the removal of the National Health.

The problem comes in when people who think they are smart (but are really fucktards) think they DO understand the system and then decide to fuck with it.

It's not that the can doesn't contain tomatoes, it's that they aren't San Marzano tomatoes in the sense that they're the correct varietal grown in the correct soil and manner as to have the distinctive taste people are looking for when buying San Marzanos. They are cheap, industrial-scale produced tomatoes that taste like ass.

You'd almost have to see a side by side comparison like I mentioned with the strawberries. We did one at that time. On the one hand you had the chinese strawberry which was about 3 times the size, pale, washed out looking. On the other you had a strawberry from south america. Deep red. Smaller but much firmer.

And this is not even getting into the taste differences, which were dramatic.

At what point is something such a distorted version of a thing where it is no longer an example of that thing?

On a trip with Rosalind, Her Majesty bought some super excellent tomatoes from a roadside stand. She had one and put the rest in the cab of the RV, blocked it off and ran some errands. When she returned, she found that Roz had disassembled the barrier and eaten all the tomatoes.

Of course this will happen, also, once they regain power the Democrats will:
- refund USAID
- refund NPR/PBS
- refund the Dep't of Education
- defund ICE and CBP
- kill the filibuster
- pack the SCOTUS
- make DC & PR states to gain 4 Senators
- make mail-in ballots, drop boxes and ballot harvesting required
- reinstate DEI in the colleges, military and schools

Germany has a very high number of billionaires (over 150-200, depending on the source), ranking among the top countries in Europe and worldwide, while Norway has a lower absolute number (~17-26) but ranks high on a per-capita basis. Germany dominates European wealth, while Norway's wealthy are often linked to resource-based industries.

AI Models Near the Point Where They Can Build a Better Version of Themselves

"My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it: 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously," Jack Clark, who heads The Anthropic Institute, told Axios.

The speed with which AI systems are evolving is far outstripping our ability to gauge the impact on humans and society. Lots of good things can happen in medicine, biology, and other sciences where AI is already making a big impact. The speed and autonomy of artificial intelligence models promise an abundant future.

157 Eh, pretty much every developed economy (and many developing ones) have sub-replacement fertility. I think it's because we've simply found too many ways to amuse ourselves, other than reproduction.

In the rat utopia experiment they gave rats all the food they needed, a safe place to live, and no risk of predation.

The rats acted like gender fluid urban twinks...

Trains are an odd one. I think for the most part the people fascinated with them (like my Dad, definitely my Dad) are not really thinking of the kind of societal impact of them. It is just an obsession. (I feel it a bit for airships.) There is a romance for people there that is compelling. It is not about the practicality, but something inherent in the thing. During Thanksgiving/Christmas, my uncle will literally just put train switching station webcams on their giant TV and he and my Dad will just sit there and watch.

A few years back I read a well done essay by someone who rode the train across the country. (Thank goodness the hideous ticket cost was underwritten by some journalistic benefactor.)

He said it was a completely different universe which he playfully named "Amtrakistan."

81 This is a different scene from Monet, at least in my limited exposure. I didn't know he did any cityscapes. Monet's scenes aren't especially unusual or riveting. But the techniques of pastels and their application along with his color choices is interesting. Today's selection really shows the Impressionistic style.

I didn't used to like Impressionist paintings until I saw a few in person. Being able to stand close and see the techniques then standing back to see the whole effect was eye opening.

We took the TGV a lot, and it is fantastic. But it is also financed by the government via ridiculously high taxes. And...of course...France is much denser and smaller than the USA, so trains can work. Here it's just a joke.

They have been driving me crazy for years. They sell San Marzano tomatoes and have a fake DOP seal on their can that has plausible deniability. Oh? You thought that was a DOP seal? No that's just a special logo that doesn't mean anything but looks exactly like a DOP seal. And I'll be honest the last set I got at Costco on sale in a three pack was bad even for regular tomatoes.

I was never a big fan of trains, except-

we lived within walking distance of train tracks when I was a wee tad and my friends and I would occasionally wander down there to place pennies on the track and have the train flatten them.

That was cool.

As was getting the engineer to blow his horn when passing.

On the down side- my folks told me to stay away from the tracks because hobos would occasionally hop off the trains and were dangerous to children.

And in fact we sometimes saw hobos coming away from the train track area.

They always looked pretty grotty so, I suppose the romance of riding the rails was more myth than reality.

153 110 I get trains, though they aren't my thing. They were the ultimate symbol of industrial power on the outside, and refined elegance (in the best cases) on the inside. In a sense it was the ultimate symbol of the West of that age. Still is for some, I suppose...for better or worse.

https://tinyurl.com/mu6jxdau

It starts:

@jakub

Replying to @dfranke
You buy a British anvil. It comes from a manufacturer founded in 1743 whose Wikipedia page contains a 4,000-word section titled “Decline.” The casting is genuinely magnificent, the proportions perfected over eleven generations of wheelwrights and naval ironmongers. It arrives three weeks late with a handwritten apology referencing “industrial action at the Crewe distribution hub.” The accompanying booklet is bound in green cloth and contains a foreword by a minor royal. Halfway down page 12 you discover that the company was acquired in 2009 by a private equity firm headquartered in Luxembourg, and that the anvils are now manufactured in a facility outside Katowice. The quality is, against all odds, still excellent. There is a small brass plaque on the side which reads “By Appointment.” It does not specify to whom.

OMG, this is so true. I had an eye dr. appt just yesterday and my prescription changed. I brought a few pairs of my old glasses with me just so I didn't have to buy a new pair of frames. Just with the lenses alone, I replaced the lenses in 2 pairs and it cost over $400+. And I don't even have vision that's bad...no coke bottles! Just need clarity for distance when I drive or go to shows. I left there thinking what a racket.

With almost any produce (grown thing) it is about the soil and how they are grown (how quickly.) A LOT of produce is grown in China. Their soil is shit and they have used a old soviet chemical that dramatically increases growth rate and size, but also depletes soil quickly (their already shit soil.)

So you have these massive berries or tomatoes or whatever, but they have no flavor. They are usually pale and just kind of disgusting looking. Saw it with strawberries sourced from there... fuck almost 20 years ago.

Monet is one of my very favorite Impressionists and we visited his home and saw his gardens one rainy day in May 1999. He had cataracts and the surgeries back then impacted color in his paintings. His kitchen was blue/white tiles with copper pans.

The Morning Report — 5/ 7/26

Bassduck.jpg

Good morning kids. I recall a wise-ass riddle from my childhood that went What word starts with an "F" and ends in "-u-c-k?" The echo of childish tittering from long ago and far away fades into the abject revulsion of today:

The slip occurred when the debate segued into the destructive Palisades Fire of 2025 and reports that dozens of fire trucks were in need of repair prior to that fateful day. It was when Bass had to utter the word “trucks” that another word slipped out. “So yes, there were fire trucks that were broken, but there were also fire fucks,” Bass said before she immediately corrected herself to say “trucks that were out of use.”

No it's not the broken trucks that were the problem it was her and Gavin Newsom's politically-driven ineptitude and incompetence that caused one of the most expensive and beautiful neighborhoods in Los Angeles and America to be reduced to ashes and rubble, and more than a year later to remain a ruin and a monument to insane leftist policies. "Fire Fucks" indeed. Both of them should have been fired long ago and in a sane world should never have been within a billion light years from any position of political power. And it's not just them but the political party and movement that they are floating near the top of. Barring some unforeseen dark horse candidate Greasy Greaseball Newsom, despite being white, male and publicly non-homo, will probably be at the top of the ticket in 2028.

As a reminder, California was once the 6th largest economy in the world, and a place that for generations Americans flocked to, as a place to live the American dream. Now people with an ounce of sanity are fleeing California in droves. The Democrats are not necessarily worried about that . . .

Democrat California Gov. candidate Katie Porter inadvertently revealed the real reason leftist politicians are pushing for sanctuary cities.

Porter let the mask slip during Tuesday night’s gubernatorial debate and admitted that illegal immigration is one of “the only ways [California] has been growing in recent years,” seemingly embracing the replacement of American residents with foreigners. Notably, the deep blue state has welcomed illegals to the tune of millions while an estimated 10 million California residents have fled the state in the last decade.

And as if you weren't aware, they may be here illegally but every one of them is a registered Democrat who votes, early and often I'd bet. And for their troubles they are given welfare to the tune now of hundreds of billions of dollars, as was uncovered in Minnesota and in Ohio and surprise, surprise California.

Elsewhere this item just underscores the utter evil of Democrat/Leftism:

A Chicago alderman is calling for “corporate” criminal charges against the pharmacy chain Walgreens for its plan to close a store on the city’s troubled South Side over concerns over retail theft and violence at the drugstore. “We’re not here to beg Walgreens to stay,” Ward 6 Alderman Will Hall said at news conference, surrounded by local community members. “We are saying that their decision is the wrong decision my opinion. In my opinion, it should be considered a first-degree corporate crime. Because the amount of people that will be hurt by this, the amount of elders who will not have access to healthcare is evil.”

What's evil is causing the breakdown of the family and decriminalizing crime while blaming free market capitalism, America and our society which allowed Chicago to become a one-time flourishing megalopolis, unlike the decaying hellhole it is today thanks to vermin like this alderman and his ilk.

Well, once this Mamdani-wannabe seizes the means of production and all private property, paradise on earth will be achieved, just like in the Soviet Union. Or Cuba.

And speaking of Cuba:

During a press briefing on Cuba on Tuesday, Jayapal spoke about how, in January, President Donald Trump had signed an executive order “declaring a national emergency over the threats to America posed by Cuba.” In a post on X, Scott responded to Jayapal’s comments in which she described the sanctions against countries giving oil to Cuba, and firms and banks working with Cuba, as “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.”

“DISTURBING: @RepJeffries and @HouseDemocrats, members of your party are OPENLY admitting to aiding a communist adversary in coordination with foreign countries to VIOLATE American sanctions,” Scott wrote. “@POTUS put those sanctions in place to keep Americans SAFE and to hold the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime accountable for their crimes.”

So, where are the arrests and prosecutions RIck Scott, and President Trump?! The world wonders...

Have a good day!

35 The commercial shipping sector has a say on whether the Hormuz is open or closed. Their concerns are different from ours and obviously the IRGC's.

Iran's assertion that they control who gets to pass through the Hormuz and how much it costs is never going to stand. Just yesterday, a F/A-18 Hornet from the USS Lincoln used it's 20mm gun to disable an Iranian ship by disabling its rudder while attempting to run the US blockade.

41 I’ve seen the usual suspects complain about “food deserts” in my old stomping grounds.

One entrepreneur started an “All In” Grocery store, and by golly it was going to he great. Serve the “community” and the rest of it. He got all kinds of grants, loans, special tax breaks. Anyone expressing financial skepticism was accused of racism. Construction lagged for about 4 or 5 years, and more skepticism.

Finally it opened to much fan fare. It didn’t last 6 months. Where’d all that money go? They had claimed to be the first grocery store in the area, which wasn’t true. They claimed the only reason there were no grocery stores was because of racism. The only color grocery stores care about is green.

The Hy-Vee store had been there maybe 10 years, but it closed after “All-In” grocery opened up, citing “performance issues”. Uh-huh. Now they have no grocery stores.

The local rag interviewed the locals and all the usual bullshit allegations ensued. Nobody can even mention just exactly why these establishments can’t make a profit. Weird, huh? Stupid bastards.

This was a C130 set up as a flying broadcast station. Radios were even airdropped to remote (90% of the shithole) parts of the country. With the amount of naval assets in the Gulf area one could essentially set up a pirate radio station aboard a ship and have means to defeat any Iranian jamming.

And as I said yesterday, wars are unpredictable, and you don't always get what you want the way you want it or at all...especially if you start by hamstringing yourself.

I still think Trump initially got convinced that the winter uprisings combined with the decapitation strike and initial defense destruction would flip the country favorably to us. It did not. Now, he's trying to figure out how to extracate with the most gains for us (which right now, seems to be the furthest kick down the road).

He doesn't want to be the starter of the next Vietnam or Afgjanistan or even Iraq 2...the perpetual war that saps the morale of everyone, drains our budgets, and never gets really won. At least in our favor.

It is what it is. Sunk costs are done. Sometimes things don't work out the way you expect at the start.

Iranian figures are putting out statements publicly mocking and laughing at the US for the collapse of the plan to escort ships through the straits. The Saudis and the UAE are furious that the US is refusing for now to retaliate for any missiles fired at their countries, to the point that the Saudis have now threatened to refuse to allow the US to use Saudi bases to support the operation.

Last Thursday night, it is reported that Hegseth and others recommended a much stronger response, and that Trump turned them down.

Trump appears to be listening to advisors who say high oil prices are damaging his political standing, and that he should just find a way to claim victory and leave, allowing the Iranian regime to maintain full control. The Iranians are now openly expecting this.

“DISTURBING: @RepJeffries and @HouseDemocrats, members of your party are OPENLY admitting to aiding a communist adversary in coordination with foreign countries to VIOLATE American sanctions,” Scott wrote. “@POTUS put those sanctions in place to keep Americans SAFE and to hold the Castro/Díaz-Canel regime accountable for their crimes.”

101 WSJ is big mad that Trump got involved in the Indiana primaries. They believe he ousted good republicans for the faulty idea that new districts in the state will be run by republicans. The claim is that Indiana went 59% for Trump, and he’s looking to make it a 9-0 republican house seat state- which they say (and the former representatives say) won’t happen. The argument is it will dilute the Republican vote, and with the coming democrat wave in the midterms is going to eventually cost republicans seats. They add that Republicans lost another special election in the Michigan senate yesterday, further swinging the state left which is now a national trend.

Exactly 2 people have ever been indicted for violating the Logan Act, most recently in 1853. Exactly neither of them were convicted. People like to throw it around to show that they know what laws are on the books but it's dead letter, even assuming that it wouldn't be ruled unconstitutional.

119 - You know, it's possible that there is more to Iran than just Iran.

Who has really had control of Iranian oil and the shipping, maybe by control of insuring the shipping, for a long time? Is it possibly the same "outfit" that installed the mullahs in Iran in the late 70's?

Want to drive up oil and shipping insurance costs? Just have the mullahs cause some trouble for awhile.

That’s a meme that’s been repeated endlessly, and it’s not actually true. Wells can be shut in, it happens all the time. Now due to geological issues some of their wells may not come back and produce at the same rate, but that’s a guess, not a certainty. The Iranian leadership will risk it.

132 Former President Barack Obama said the pressure to be on the campaign trail for the Democratic Party is creating tension between him and his wife.

The New Yorker interview with Obama, published Monday, shared how their marriage was affected by Barack’s continual involvement in politics. The former president pointed to President Donald Trump as the reason for his involvement.

“She wants to see her husband easing up and spending more time with her, enjoying what remains of our lives,” Obama said, adding that the pressure remains to be politically active against the Trump administration, despite the precedent of past presidents retiring out of politics altogether. “It does create a genuine tension in our household, and it frustrates her.”

Priapism going behind POTUS's back on official government policy on sanctions qualifies.

Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution. According to Article III, Section 3:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Election Fraud has obviated this. Votes no longer seem to matter. There is an ebb and flow to politics and the parties, but the Democrats have been very focused on One Party Rule for 25 years now, they have decided to short circuit the whole process. That’s my take on it anyway.

They certainly don’t seem inclined to moderate or tack to the center or compromise, they won’t acknowledge the electorate overwhelmingly rejects their policies. Nothing else makes sense. Even Biden stated publicly “I don’t need your vote!”; why would he say that? Well, he also said “we have the most inclusive voting fraud system” or something along those lines. A gaffe, maybe. Maybe not.

195 You finish what you start.

There are several hallmarks of the failed war strategy we’ve experienced since 9-11. First and foremost is the lack of a battle plan with stable mission objectives that dictated the end of conflict. We stayed in Iraq and Afghanistan because the those mission objectives, set by civilian leadership, constantly shifted with the political winds. That wasn’t a military failure. It was a leadership failure. I’ve often made the point we won Afghanistan in a few months with roughly two ODA’s and a bunch of NA insurgent fighters. That’s exhibit one.

Ultimately we failed to execute a battle plan that properly applied the maximum force needed to meet the objectives quickly and decisively. War is ugly. People die. A lot of shit gets broken. The question becomes what is your capacity for sacrifice versus what you will gain based on your objectives.

A battle plan is not immutable. It may shift to take advantage of events in the battle space. However the mission objectives should always stay the same. If they do not, you are constantly moving the ball and forcing battlefield adaptations that were not planned for. That heightens risk.
You choose where we are now.

That and she thinks using the "f" word repeatedly makes her sound like a tough broad . We can and all have used the f word, but generally not repeatedly in an attempt to influence people to think you're a tough broad or guy, but rather because we're fed up or angry or tired.

204 A clarification to Ted Turner's "accomplishments:" CNN was not his original concept. The idea of a fourth network was pioneered by former ABC Radio network president Bob Pauley, its first iteration in1968. He secured funding in 1973 for a "fair and balanced" news network (his original coinage, not Fox's). His TVN (Television News Network) was financed by conservative Joe Coors of Coors Brewery. TVN provided original footage and feeds to stations dissatisfied with the Big Three. It was gaining ground when Coors, facing unrelated tax problems, pulled funding. TVN executives Roger Ailes and Reese Schonfeld (both of whom Pauley had hired) went on, respectively, to develop Fox and Turner's CNN. Turner certainly deserves credit for building CNN into the goliath it became, but the conceptual path had been carved and the model created.

238 The IRGC has been targeting other Gulf State's oil refineries and shipping terminals as reprisal for helping the US. They hit the UAE pretty hard a couple days ago, crippling one of their terminals. The Saudis have always been skittish about letting the US base warplanes in their country. Fickle little shits that they are.

The protection plan in place by the US has ships transit the Hormuz in an area deemed safe, close to Oman. Several cruise ships used this route weeks ago on a mass "break out" of the Persian Gulf where they'd been trapped.

As I've been saying; commercial shippers have a say on whether the Hormuz is safe or not. Crews have to be willing to run a ship in this area and not get shot at. Insurers have to be content with The Plan™ as well.

274 Why are we living with this fantasy that Iranians that oppose the regime are going to rise up. Who the F is left over there to this? Actual GENOCIDE is taking place. If the regime is left intact because we reached some deal then you can damn well bet any remnants of Iranian opposition will be snuffed out. The mullahs sure AF ain't gonna keep anyone around to stir shit and evoke any more sympathy left for them in the international community which at this point is only a sparse group of people on social media. There is no way in hell Iran will give up all of its uranium. I say declare victory, call it a day and pray someone doesn't get nuked. Maybe Israel will snuff out them bastards once and for all before Iran develops some type of nuclear weapon and hits them.

It’s rather tellling when someone has no arguments to make, and just resorts to vague personal insults. Yes, it’s the internet, I know.

I have supported Trump’s efforts in Iran as much or more than anyone, because I understood what he was doing and why he was doing it. And because of that, I understand why a failure of will now, for political reasons, will wreck the entire project. He’s the man at the top; it’s his call.

I have never seen Zendaya in anything and have no interest in doing so For people than have, does she have a nice voice and strong acting ability, because her looks are unremarkable.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 07, 2026 08:54 AM (Nx5jP)

As far ass I can tell, she fits the new fymynyst icon of the Angry Young Woman (for reference see Angry Young Man circa 1950s Britain) who is sullen and sour and displeased with everything around her.

She's not a good actress. Her voice is bland. She isminimally attractive. so-

A starlet who makes very average women feel good about themselves. One who doesn't make them feel bad about themselves because she's so average?

I attribute her success to some kind of nepotism connection or spectacular performance on the casting couch.

Posted by: naturalfake at May 07, 2026 09:01 AM (iJfKG)

278 In the Pitt movie on Troy, casting Diane Kruger as Helen was physically a good choice. Kruger is not the best actress but she was good enough - Achilles, Hector, Paris, and Menelaus were the important characters and I think each one did well in the role though Bloom's Paris was a bit too much of a wuss.

290 Pressure - with Brendan Fraser as Dwight D. Eisenhower

In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element--the British weather. Britain's chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. With only hours to go, the fate of the war and the lives of millions hang in the balance.

It occurs to me that I heard most of these jokes as a kid, but then I remember I went to an elementary school where about 80% of the kids in my class were Jewish.

So it makes sense.

356 Obama has been exposed as patient zero in America’s sickness. He took the trust people put in him and used it against them.

What he did is demonstrable. He took what was almost a post-racial America, proven ironically by his election, and turned people against each other. He weaponized the government against the very people who elected him. He further used the government and its resources to undermine the opposition political candidate. He perpetrated that fraud knowingly and with evil intent. He was the first to weaponize the justice system against his political enemies with the person driving the charge.

He knows it. We all know it now. It’s there for everyone to see. Whatever influence he had has been tainted and revealed as both biased and corrupt by the span of time.

F him. He should be in jail.

390 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J. and also for the excellent links.

California is an enigma; status as a global economic powerhouse and a place with extreme, worsening social issues, such as high poverty, immense income disparity, and severe housing costs.

Believe Newsome, Bass, etc., were never going to rush rebuilding areas of the Palisades Fire (Palisades & in Malibu) where many of the residents were 'middle class,' underinsured, and will never be able to rebuild even like-for-like residences to live in for any length of time. And of course the wealthy residents, Billionaire's Beach and similar areas, have - at least temporarily - moved to safer locations and/or have sold their devastated properties to investors.

Guaranteed, unless there are more than one political miracles in Cali, it will be the Federal government's/Trump's fault for not providing bottomless financial aid and assistance.

For the 'darker side,' read the concerns about the destruction of farm land, impact on water resources, increased traffic, & the potential displacement of farm workers.

Also, the potential for data centers in & around utopia have just entered the battle: CBS News Sacramento, May 6, 2026, 'California Forever, Suisun City push back against claims of building giant data centers'

So once it's real, it'll be its own little Eden, planned and built from scratch, governed by its own little civil society, larger & certainly fancier but much more controlled than a 15-minute city created in an urbanized area such as Charles Village in Baltimore, MD.

21 Had such a lovely day yesterday. Went with FenSpouse to get his physical for riding the bus. Stopped on the way at a wonderful fudge and candy shop. There was a little decal on the back of ones of the cars ( I think one of the employees worked there) with a picture of a church and a cross on it. Such nice employees. One woman was talking to a customer about the church she attends and the customer shared that she taught CCD at her church.

Then the receptionist at the doctor's office smiled at me and waved when I went in ,even though I had never met this woman before. Her name was Carol. She told me she is 84. She looks 20 years younger and I thought being so kind and friendly kept her younger.

Before we went home we stopped at Chik- Fil-A
This may not be a big deal 😉 but we had a gift card from some of the kids parents from the bus. That Chik- Fil-A had flowers and balloons on the table.

I read an article a few months to a year ago about some guys who were trying to install generators and small data and computational setups at oil wells which flared the natural gas rather then trying to capture it. The idea was that the “free” power would offset the cost and potential latency issues from lack of scale. I haven’t seen more about it so I’m not sure it’s working.

Also if I never hear the numbers "Six Seven" spoken aloud again, I will be a happy man. Thankfully we're down to maybe one or two idjits that have to start chanting that, the rest of the kids are over it. And this no longer is an every day event. It's winding down, finally.

He also has an unfortunate habit of comparing himself to others. "Everyone I graduated hs with is further along in their careers." I asked him how many people he graduated with. He said 400. I asked him "And you know all these people?. "Nobody is you. You're making money. You're providing a service. Work hard. Do a good job and realize that nobody else is you or has had your experiences."

94 The Microsoft / Xbox thing is kind of big. Microsoft has a habit of getting a new manager, inserting a rocket dildo into his or her rear orifices, lighting it, and then zooming off in a direction. Then the next manager pulls it out, stomps on it, then gets a fresh new rocket, aims in a different direction, and then lights it up. Rinse, repeat.

In this case, it's heralding the end of "AI IN ALL THE THINGS!". In the Xbox situation, the previous rocketman wanted a help screen that would pop up help depending on where you were in the game. Maybe a neat feature for those that want it (and don't... yanno, have a f@$%ing phone glued to them already). But all the extra hooks and processing and network usage it'll use in the background (because it WILL be there), and the constant "Disable This" being forgotten every time MS updates a thing, meant it'd be a bloated feature that would slow down the console.

So, a good thing happened.

Conversely, Evil Google is r@ping your limited storage space with a 4 GB file it shadowdrops, for AI purposes. And keeps shadowdropping. Woe if you're on a metered connection.

The collapse of teen fertility in the digital era

Teen fertility collapsed globally starting around 2007. This affected countries across the income and policy spectrum. This paper argues that smartphones changed how teens spend time with each other, and that this change in turn drove the collapse in teen fertility. Once enough teens are on the phone, being on the phone is where the peer network is; in-person time falls sharply, and with it the unstructured contact in which most unintended teen conceptions occur.

The model predicts that the shift towards the phone-mediated equilibrium affects multiple aspects of teen behavior. The same instrument that produces a collapse in teen fertility produces a surge in teen suicides.

Yikes. Isn't there a happy medium somewhere?

Starting in the 80s, pop culture began to disparage and ridicule virginity. It went from being a virtue to carrying a stigma.

The term "incel" is the final form of this Satanic invocation. It posits that the worst thing in the world to is lust and be incapable of acting upon it.

Ironically, the people who seem to invoke it the most are usually dedicated Onanists.

Publius - the Apollo crews were scheduled by Donald “Deke” Slayton, head of the astronaut office. I’m sure you know the basic rotation scheme he had set down. But it sure got screwed around a lot, and swapped around, as personnel got killed, injuries, mission changes etc. What I’m getting at, the crews that were assigned weren’t too sure who would get what mission, it was all very tentative and subject to change, so I’m not sure it’s possible to even say Armstrong was specifically “picked” to be the first lunar commander based on his Mad Skilz. It’s just the way it all shook out after years of shuffles, sometimes due to tragic events like Charlie Bassett and Elliot See auguring in, etc. The truth is, I think, any of the crews could have accomplished any of the missions. It was certainly a team effort par excellance with all those guys in mission control and basically every contractor and subcontractor on call for support. MIT and IBM and a gazillion others.

I'm not sure how accurate it is. I-95 in south Florida was not complete until the 1980's.There was a gap between WPB and Boca Raton until the 1970's and the portion between WPB and Fort Pierce wasn't completed until the late 1980's or 1990's. Even today, the portion between WPB and Fort Pierce veers sharply inland due to some agreement dating back to the 1950's that no competing road would be built east of the turnpike.

181 Ted Turner spoke at my college once. This was late 80's when he was colorizing all those black and white movies. Some whiny student went up during the Q&A and asked him 'how dare you'? Ted said that first of all, they only colorize a copy of the film, not the original. "Second, there's this little know on your TV that you can use to adjust I to black and white. The kid looked and surely felt like a complete idiot.

At another point Turner tried to deflect some quip by saying "Hey, I ain't Ivan Boesky." Unfortunately, Boesky's daughter went to my school. She stormed out of the auditorium.

Turner was entertaining.

Trump is not caving on Iran and nuclear weapons.

Limiting any "deal" to nukes would actually be caving, and kicking a large stack of cans down the road.

If true, Saudi move can be puzzling. But the only actor here with transparent and (in their universe) rational public behavior is actually the fanatics of the IRGC. Don's Fog of War has rendered actual US intentions almost as opaque as is SOP in the Arab states. If you've spent much of your life dealing with the region, fairly interesting.

However, apparently the native pronunciation always had something like the "An" before, and it was the French who dropped it, and called it Tananarive. So back then, they were using the French pronunciation.

Waaaay back in the 1980 period I was in a cover band that did a shit ton pf priest songs. We had our suspicions back then, we were pretty damn sure bob was a flamer. The way he dressed was a bit of a clue, but yeah the lyrics on some tunes had our scratching our head. Then, around 1982 I got a chance to meet the band. I had 2 smoking hot chicks with me and a slightly younger dude that was friends with one of the chicks. They were doing 2 shows in the general area, so we all went to the second show and met them again a few days, maybe a week later. Rob remembered the dude's name, almost greeted him like a long lost friend. I had the same 2 smoking chicks with me....nothing. 1 was a tall blonde with superior melons...nothing. Ooookaayyyy then, no need to wonder any more.

Reuters quoted sources who said the memo seemingly abandoned some demands the Trump administration has made in the past, such as “curbs on Iran’s missile program and an end to its support for proxy militias in the Middle East.” It also did not mention Iran’s missing stockpile of some 900 pounds of near-weapons-grade uranium, which the administration has previously said Iran must surrender in order to end the war.

248 Press release from CENTCOM.mil

U.S. forces operating in the Gulf of Oman enforced blockade measures by disabling an Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker attempting to sail toward an Iranian port at 9 a.m. ET, May 6.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed M/T Hasna as it transited international waters enroute to an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the U.S. blockade.

After Hasna’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings, U.S. forces disabled the tanker’s rudder by firing several rounds from the 20mm cannon gun of a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Hasna is no longer transiting to Iran.

The U.S. blockade against ships attempting to enter or depart Iranian ports remains in full effect. CENTCOM forces continue to act deliberately and professionally to ensure compliance.

258 Today (the 6th) was Tony Scalzo's 62nd birthday. Lead singer, songwriter, and bassist for Fastball, they are best known for the melancholy 1998 hit "The Way," but they're still together and making new music. Here's a nice, high-quality version of the one that ended their side jobs:

Fastball - The Way (SUPERSCALED TO 4K) (25th Anniversary)
https://youtu.be/qV3ntUUaRRA

Fast-forward to June of 2024, and the video for "Rather Be Me Than You" shows them "comfortable in their own skins" in a way that when we're younger, we hope that's how we'll grow older, but not everyone achieves. I think they're basically dissing their anon critics: yes, we might play smaller venues, but we're working where you're a gigless problem customer getting kicked out.

The portable dishwasher alarms me. The bathroom alarms me as they don't show but the top of the shower. If the generator failed who do you call and when do they arrive to fix it? Electrolysis for the water pump...hair removal? Wut?

Plus there is no pool or mountain view.Is there cable and Internet service? Why don't they show all the rooms? Did someone die there?

I could last maybe a weekend if the guy I was with made it worth my time, he knew what to do for all emergencies with an epipen or two and guns,a Navy SEAL, and had a boat tied to this lighthouse that may be haunted by ghosts trying to get to land or find a mate or a cheeseburger with curly fries.

We've been together 49yrs, married 47yrs and still like each other a lot! We have the mentality of our grandchildren and the aches at night of our age. Worth the ride! No complaints. I have it all.

He had a complaint tonight (rare) that the pasta sauce was too salty and he asked about the broth amt. It is possible I screwed up. He then said for dessert we should have the gorgeous lemon meringue pie that would strip enamel from your teeth that I made one Easter when our sons were small.Therefore, 2 complaints of my cooking (so far) in our marriage.

He asked tonight if my plan is to suddenly cook crappy so I won't have to ever again (he gave me an idea!). He's a good cook so we'd survive.

The lemon pie mistake was using 2 huge Meyer lemons vs normal lemons from our FL neighbor and not considering the lips curling back response. We all cracked up. It was perfect to behold til the first bite.

292 Need to go to bed and try to sleep. I observed our 8mo old granddaughter yesterday thrash around in her little pack and play before she conked out. Similar to how I drift off at times but not as cute.

She saw her stuffed lamb at the bottom of her bed and used her feet to bring it to her hands. I think she's very smart as well as pretty.

It was a perfect day til she threw up all over me before we got her home. A virus she saved especially for me. As a nurse I felt badly for her and not fazed, cleaned up, thought all would be well. Then boom again 45min later before we got in the car. Then this little darlin scared me a bit as in 2hrs she was dry heaving every 15min til the doc told DIL the amt of Zofran and 1.5ml pedialyte that stopped it and she was normal again.Son out of town as he travels for job. I was close to insisting on an ED visit when the Zofran worked its magic in 15min. Sons were not infants with their virst virus and older. She broke my heart with her little head on my shoulder and was so still vs her normal self (I was wearing a towel during all of this). Thankfully she got better as quickly as it came.

We felt achy tonight but so far have not harfed on each other.

310 Okay, last one. Today, Mark Bryan of Hootie & The Blowfish turned 59. He is their lead guitarist, but after re-watching a few music videos, I would describe him as an anti-diva. He's no technical virtuoso, nor a fast shredder; even though he has a little guitar solo every song, he just makes a pleasant interlude riffing off the melody, building interest for when it resumes. In the meantime, he's locked into the mix, no ego, making it all greater than the sum of its parts.

Technically, lead singer Darius Rucker is the rhythm guitarist, with an acoustic; but Mark kind of has the personality of one, and it works for their style of slow rock. So, the closest I could find for a showcase for him was this one, where Darius is marble-mouthed and you can't understand the lyrics anyway, so you might as well pick out the different instruments:

I remember some of the arguments years ago that there had to be a second one, because egyptians never just built one if they were using them as a gateway. There was always a pair. Thats assuming the egyptians built the sphinx to start with, because there is a shit ton of proof that its waaaay older. It has water erosion, and there hasn't been that kind of water there for over 10,000 years. Another argument is the head is too small, that it was most likely a lion originally, and it got carved down to a human head. Who knows.

Roman has a much wider field of view than Hubble. It's something like in one year Roman can survey what would take 100 years with Hubble.

Roman has two main missions. One is a large scale survey of the structure of observable universe. There are problems showing up with the current cosmological models, and Roman will confirm or refute them. This is things like the Hubble tension, and the "S8 tension".

The second one is a YUGE exoplanet hunt using gravitational microlensing. It will be able to detect exomoons (if they are massive enough and far enough away from their primary planet). They figure they will find 100K more exoplanets when it's done.

When paleo astronomers used computer programs to see what the sky looked like in 10,500 BC it turns out the sphinx was looking at the constellation Leo as it came up from the horizon. Its almost if the damn thing is a time capsule. I sometimes wonder if the entire egyptian thing was stolen from a far more ancient civilization. I read some great theories that the pyramids of Giza are the originals and every other one is a copy. There was never anything like them before or after. One of the details was that only the great pyramid has a grand gallery and king and queen's chamber, and that wasn't known until around 700AD when they were finally breached. The descending passage was known in ancient times, and all the "copies" have it because it was only passage they had access to to copy. They didn't know about the others, so no other pyramid has them. Crazy shit.

And another wild thing is the amount of data Roman is going to spew. Over 1.4 TB of data per day. The deep sky survey will top out at 20 PB in 5 years, and the exoplanet survey will add another 10 PB to that.

They had to come up with much higher bandwidth comms for this, not to mention an infrastructure to distribute and work will all that. Data rate will be 500 Mb/s. And that's from the L2 point.

324 >> 0,500 BC it turns out the sphinx was looking at the constellation Leo as it came up from the horizon.

Indeed. I've read a lot of that over the years (and forgotten a lot of it, too). That magic date of 10, 500 BC, give or take. The Younger-Dryas.

There are other alignments too that all go back to that magic date, I forget. It's also claimed the slightly off-center alignment of the three pyramids corresponds to Orion's belt stars. Orion = Osiris. Was 10,500 BC the end of "Zep Tepi", the First Time, when the gods walked and ruled the earth....

The Younger-Dryas is amazing. Just what the hell happened there is something, but it was Biblical level catastrophism. Meltwater pulses before and after like you wouldn't believe ravaging. The megafauna extinction in North America. The ice sheets melted so fast, it's unbelievable (where did the energy to do it that fast come from?).

And, how about this. Plato's account of Atlantis puts the destruction right around 11,600BC or so, corresponding to meltwater pulse 1B. But that's all crazy talk, woo-woo nonsense. Atlantis is just nonsense, of course...

yeah, well somebody back then had serious technology. When they were doing some work around Tiwanaku they found that a lot of the giant blocks were held together by having a dog bone shaped dovetail carved across the joints of the blocks and then had molten steel poured into the recess to form a clamp. They found the same technique in ancient egypt half a world away. The one in S America looked like a dog bone, the ones in egypt was shaped like a bow tie, but the purpose was the same.

333 Looked for the opposite alignment, as if they were facing each other. Constellation Aquarius. Which in Mesopotamian times was called GU.LA or "The Great One" in Babylonian star catalogues, representing the god Ea.

- In Mesopotamian star-lists the sign GU.LA denotes the “Great One” of the watery/boat-related stars associated with the god Ea/Enki and the mythic “Fisher”/water-bearer figure

There is a German tale of the old farmer woman who decided to graze her old milk cow on the turf roof of her hut, but afraid that the poor old cow would wander to far and fall off the roof, she determined she would tie the tether rope around her wrist by way of running it down the chimney, so she could control the cow that way, and do her housework inside at the same time.
Of course the cow fell off the roof while she was working near the fire, and so doing yanked the poor farmer woman up the chimney where she most likely suffocated.

As in all German humorous tales, that was the knee slapping part.

63 Experiment #678 on how to make Pandas extinct:

Put the following 3 items on the ground in front of a Panda. A little red ball; A delicious cupcake; I rusty yet extremely sharp knife tipped with mercury.

Guess which one they put in their mouth first.
Posted by: Orson

They live in China. I'm sure that environment has rendered them immune to heavy-metal poisoning. And the mercury would kill the tetanus bacteria.

It might suffocate on the ball, though, if it's the right size.

134 I saw some people in the prior thread discussing how the coming election year violence will turn off voters and help Republicans... that's not how any of this works.

The reason Democrats roll out Mayhem Summers like clockwork is that it's effective. There is a tacit understanding in America - that Democrats can stop the mayhem and Republicans cannot. Everyone knows that Dems control the blood spigot, and Republicans are are powerless to turn it off, let alone on.

So, on it goes, and if voters want it turned off, they know what they have to do. Lawless violence is one of their best tools. It puts votes in their column, not the other way around.

Sigh, hacking away at life. I was chatting with an insurance guy today who told me about one of his clients in La Jolla. The boys inherited the place from their parents, but they live in Guadalajara. Instead of selling it for $28mm, they decided to keep it because otherwise "they wouldn't have an excuse to visit San Diego."

7,000 square feet, 180-degree ocean view, just remodeled the kitchen for $250,000, needed something to tool around in when they come to town so they augmented the Bentley with a $450,000 Porsche, they barely ever visit but keep the place impeccably maintained all the time (lawn mowed every day), etc. I told him to ask if they need a house-sitter... or at least a tenant in some knob of the house.

158 I had poasted in a comment a few months back about trying to find a place to refurb my Nocona boots I bought back in high school before I was 29. Now that I am 29 the boots had a wee bit of wear and I wanted them all fixed.

No one local would touch them. So last week I sent them to a cobbler in Austin along with an unbelievable amount of money. They are apparently the experts at this so I'll report back in a week or so when they come back.

It was hard reconciling the cost, no one wears boots anymore, no where as much as in the 80s when it was kind of the fashion out west. They should be pretty nice looking though when they're done.

I guess from here it's a Stetson, line dancing, pissing in a trough, and passing out on random friend's back porch. Or I could be content with just the wearing boots part.

I stumbled on a video about that last week. He's suffering from severe akathisia, which is absolute hell on earth. It's restlessness with an uncontrollable compulsion to move, coupled with severe anxiety. Your fight or flight is ramped up to the red line. Imagine a constant panic attack state.

They're blaming benzos for it. He was on those long term, and had to withdraw, which is bad enough, but it was quite neurotoxic to him, which they apparently are in small fraction of the population.

He was essentially hooked on them, yet they were killing him, so he had to get off. He thought he had kicked it, but the akathisia came back.

I'm guessing Iran signaled some kind of openness to a deal.

My view of this is that Trump thought we could kick the shit out of Iran, and the populace would rise up and overthrow the regime. That (unsurprisingly) did not materialize, and now we need a way out of this. So it's just a chaotic dance of threats and negotiations until we can get some piece of paper signed, by someone.

It's fascinating to see the Scott Adams (RIP) "two movie screens" thing at work.

Trump has completely destroyed the conventional wisdom. Defied expert predictions for years on end, yet even his allies think it's all a fluke, just luck or something.

But maybe the Ranting Buffoon thing is just an act, a WWE persona that he uses to cause people to underestimate him.

I have seen zero evidence that this operation was not planned with profound forethought and flexibility. Iran has been crushed in a world-historical fashion, yet people keep insisting - without evidence, as the cool kids say - that somehow the Iranians are the eevil geniuses that have crashed their economy, wrecked their military, and their oil wells are about to piss out.

He's been all over the world undergoing what might charitably be called "alternative therapy" (crackpot quackery not-so-charitably).

And then a bunch more of this "alternative stuff".

Suicide is quite common with akathisia -- it's hell on earth. So, on the one hand you can't blame him and his family for trying anything, yet all the "alternative" stuff could've messed him up more than it helped. Who knows.

Here's the thing: Iran's government can still fall. I think that's the part everyone is missing. Trump doesn't need to overthrow them, just defang them. He's done that. And he's gang-raping China's economy. UAE gets it. It's a new world order, but in a good way.

So make a deal, let oil prices start to fall as summer driving season starts, but the Mullahs are still hated, and weaker than ever. Let Mossad do their thing.

Yeah, that's the other part. Maybe we're outsourcing work to Israel rather than vice-versa. Kinda wrecks the whole "Joos run everything" concept.

Will Fetterman Flip?

Will Lumpy Jack finally assume full control over the body?


Lumpy Jack is blasting Democrats for supporting "Hamas/Hezballah shitheads."


Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., described protesters who demonstrated in New York City on Tuesday as "Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads," and indicated that the Democratic Party should speak out against them.

"Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas s[---]heads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care," Fetterman wrote in a Wednesday post on X.

"Where's my party's condemnation?"


Fetterman made the comments when sharing a post on X that featured video footage in which people could be heard engaging in what sounded like an anti-Zionist chant.

By the way, I wanted to link Fetterman saying "I can't see continuing as a Democrat" and "the party has lost their way" but I could not find video of Lumpy Jack actually saying that and that's because he didn't say it. Those quotes are from a parody site called "Nothing on this Site is Real."

Just wanted to give you a heads up about that fake news.

But it still is possible that he'll become an independent. The party is determined to purge him.

And the GOP is trying to flip him.

If Fetterman does flip, according to officials who were given anonymity to talk about sensitive matters, it will be thanks in large part to his deepening friendship with a pair of senators and their high-profile spouses: Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), and his wife Dina, and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), and her husband, Wesley.

But the first-term Democrat -- who's infuriated his party with his harder line on immigration and staunch support for Israel, Trump nominees, government funding bills and most recently the president's ballroom -- isn't yet persuaded.

"I'm not changing," Fetterman told me in an interview Friday when I asked if he was ruling out both becoming a Republican or turning independent. "I'm a Democrat, and I'm staying one. "

Yet, at least in private, he's not totally rejecting dropping his "D."

When one senior Republican recently brought up the idea of becoming an independent to Fetterman, he absorbed the suggestion and didn't embrace or reject the overture, according to a GOP official familiar with the conversation.

In our interview, Fetterman said bluntly: "I'd be a shitty Republican."

There are his votes against big-ticket measures, such as last year's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, but also his liberal views on a raft of cultural issues.

...

Fetterman has raised these same doubts about how welcome he'd be as a Republican to his GOP colleagues, too, I'm told by sources briefed on the conversations.

If Republicans can't tolerate even Tillis, Fetterman suggested, how would they accept somebody who supports abortion rights, gay rights, legalizing marijuana and is pro-labor? (He flies the pride flag outside his Senate office.) Senate Republicans have reminded the Pennsylvanian that there are members of their conference who are more moderate on each of those issues.

Trump, who knows a thing or two about party switching, has also gotten in on the action. He's told one GOP senator he prefers Fetterman making the full conversion to Republican, according to a source familiar with the conversation.

And Trump has said, if Fetterman does, he'd reciprocate. In his typical unsubtle fashion, the president conveyed as much to Sean Hannity in March and asked Hannity to play intermediary.

Fetterman's announced 2028 Democrat primary opponent is leaving death threats for his thirteen year old daughter.

Ben Hart
@BenHart_Freedom

BREAKING 🚨: Here's one reason John Fetterman is giving serious consideration to becoming a Republican.

A Democrat named Raymond Eugene Chandler III, who was planning to run against Fetterman in the Senate primary for 2028, was arrested by the FBI on May 1 for leaving multiple voicemails with death threats and graphic obscene messages on the voice mail of Fetterman's 13-year-old daughter.

Chandler also threatened to kill President Trump.

Chandler had declared his candidacy for the 2028 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania, positioning himself as a "leftist" or progressive primary challenger to Fetterman, running on a platform of wealth redistribution.

Like most Americans, Fetterman is coming to the realization that today's Democrat Party is no longer the Party of JFK -- who was patriotic, pro-life, pro-God, very anti-communist, and pro-capitalist.

But today's Democrat Party has become the party of political assassination, violence, mental illness, and hatred of America.

Today's Democrat Party actively roots for Iran to defeat America and our troops.

Today's Democrats are the party of open borders, lawlessness, election fraud, and using the schools to indoctrinate our children into radical Left LGBTQ ideology (including encouraging children as young as kindergarten to undergo gender transition surgeries).

Today's Democrat Party actively works for America's destruction at every level. And John Fetterman has had enough.

There are reports that President Trump has had conversations with John Fetterman, has offered him massive financial backing, and Trump's endorsement.

Some say: "But Fetterman usually votes with the Democrats."

True.

But my experience is people change their voting behavior and views when they make the decision to switch sides.

Both Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan were Democrats at one point. Reagan famously said: "I did not leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.

I consider myself to be a JFK-style Democrat.

...

I think John Fetterman is coming to the same realization.

That would be a powerful message, I think. What's left of the "sane" democrats would wake up, hopefully.

How many politicians actually care about the legal citizens?

I have always believed that most of them only care about the money they can steal.

Money buys power and enables them to be sex perverts.

I think most of them were nobodies growing up.

Now they just want to screw us because they have the power and money to makeup for the lack of being popular growing up.

I'll show you!

There was a definition of DEI recently, it has to do with torturing the language
Diversity = Only our opinions and ideas since your ideas are exclusive and it is bad to be exclusive.
Equity=Marxism, when it doesn't mean confiscation because you are mean and that is OK because you are guilty of not being a Marxist
Inclusiveness = cancelling and destroying any countering voice because drowning out any opposition is how the ideas that support our point of view can spread unhindered.

From everything I can see, Fetterman talks against his party's most odious positions, but his voting record is 100% Democrat-compliant when it counts. He might vote Republican when it doesn't change the outcome; same thing Ron Paul used to do.

This look celebrated the Real Hero of the evening: Chemical dependency.


That's totes AI. I thought it was, but then I found the "designer's" page featuring the "dress," and I figured it was, somehow, real. But now I find out the "designer" is an "AI artist" which means I'm Lamont the Big Dummy.

87 I understand the true purpose of the "Met-Gala" even if the rest of you trogloldytes do not. This is, purely, a support group exercise. It is easier to acknowledge that you are retarded if there are others there displaying the same retarded behavior.

This is a concept very similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. However, instead of a dependence to alcohol, there is an inherent dependence to displaying a lack of intelligence, irony, and jackassery.

This year's theme, "Retarded Together", shows nuance and forethough. But, this year's event had it's obstacles. Some enterprising member of the serving staff had a laser pointer, and many of the outfits were damaged as participants chased the small light dot throughout the dining area destroying the placenta crepe display.

Maybe the superbowl, but he said that 78 million Americans tuned into Ed Sullivan to see the Beatles in 1964. Can't imagine anything like that happening now.

Toronto Star, The Met Gala has been infiltrated by tacky billionaires, an affront to both good taste and eat-the-rich activists
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos are the gala’s controversial lead sponsors, threatening to tarnish Anna Wintour’s carefully curated legacy.

But what did that $42 million dollars raised go to? Anna Wintour's legacy.

As Page Six reported, tickets for the extravaganza, which raises money for the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Metropolitan Museum, this year cost $100,000, while a full table started at around $350,000. Wintour raised a record-breaking $42 million with this week’s event.

I wonder how much any of them donate to charities? And I mean real charities, such as food pantries, pregnancy resource centers, or missionaries. But would entail actually seeing the poors as human persons.

Left-wing Terrorist Set Fire to the Palisades to Honor the Democrats' Murderer-Hero, Luigi Mangione

The Party of Plunder... and Murder.


Alleged Palisades arsonist became 'fixated' with Luigi Mangione, said blaze started 'out of resentment of the rich': prosecutors

The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become "fixated" on Luigi Mangione in the lead-up to the deadly blaze -- and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of "resentment of the rich," prosecutors said.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused health care CEO killer and had routinely searched "free Luigi Mangione" and "lets take down all the billionaires" online, court documents show.

In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades Fire, Rinderknecht -- who worked as an Uber driver -- ranted to customers about Mangione's arrest, too.

"Many of defendant's Uber passengers on December 31, 2024 and January 1, 2025, described defendant as angry, intense, driving erratically, and ranting about being 'pissed off at the world' and Luigi Mangione, capitalism, and vigilantism," prosecutors noted in a trial memorandum.

When asked why someone would ultimately set the blaze, Rinderknecht allegedly responded that it "would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as 'we're basically being enslaved by them' and compared such an act of 'desperation' to the murder for which Mangione was charged," according to the memo.

He murdered 12 people and caused hundreds of billions of damage.

More at Instapundit.

Meanwhile, young stupid "students" continuing agitating for political violence and calling for assassins to "stop missing" Trump.

Moron podcaster Charlamagne the Idiot also justifies violence.

We'll see if they hold to that opinion when the big bad right begins agreeing with them.

36 It always amazes me that most gripes about insurance companies are made by people that never took the time to understand the actual definition of "insurance."

It's not an end all catch all item. It is a Safety net item. There are conditions, exclusions, obligations of mitigation etc. And those that complain likely never took the time to read the policy to have advance knowledge of what they are paying for. Instead, they very immaturely assume falsely that everything will be paid for.

In Oregon employers are required to provide insurance for any full time employee, so a lot of employers have few full time employees and a lot of employees that work 30 or so hours a week. And to make ends meet they get to work multiple jobs, some working 60 hour weeks with no overtime pay.

Because the State of Oregon, as embodied by the Governor, Legislature and Judiciary love them and want them to not be treated as slaves.

I can answer that. LAFD first wanted to bulldoze the burn area but were ordered not to because of the presence of an endangered weed. That's right, and endangered...weed...

They then wanted to post a shovel crew overnight, but were ordered out of the area because the county didn't want to pay for OT.

70 The rich are usually the smartest, hard working and disciplined.

Bullshit.

Wealth in America is a mix of:

What you started with
Luck
Your ability to generate value for other people

For any rich or poor person you can find a mix of these factors. Leftists pretend only the first two matter...which is why socialist societies stagnate.

And in fairness on the right I think we sometimes ascribe too much to the last point

But most importantly from the perspective of society if you make sure people are well rewarded for generating value - few regulations, low taxes - then society gets more goods and services.

This is almost a Pascal's wager type thing. Assume most fairly gotten wealth (eg not government grifting) is the result of hard/smart work and everyone will be wealthier for it. Assume that it is all luck and stealing from the poor and we will all be poorer

71 "If you see a guy - or a gal - that risked their money and hit it big first generation in anything ? A coffee shop. Tanning beds. Whatever. Well ... that person, first of all, got somewhat lucky. "

Luck does not play a big a factor as dedication, hard work, and picking the right business in the first place.

87 Oh the mouthy ignorant bigot returns. That's nice.

Friend who's very experienced retired CalFire confirms that the crews who followed up on initial fire didn't do SOP (i.e. they effed up, big time). This was the fire set by the insect under discussion.

And there's a lot of ignorance and false understandings about the fire. Much of it took place under conditions where the only "tactic" is evacuation, there is no "fighting" it. And circumstances were a perfect storm of sorts for that area. Huge excess demand for water, all at the same time, modern plumbing (every property with plastic piping becomes a "leak"), and up-slope location of much of the area = serious water resource issue.

The politicos and voters are variously just as absurd, unfit, stupid, and vile as they appear. But the fire story goes far beyond them.

The FBI Raids the Home and Offices of the Virginia State Senator Pro Tempore Louise Lucas on Suspicions of Corruption

Were there any signs she might be involved in crime or corruption? Well, she owns a string of pot dispensaries.

Oh, and she's a black female Democrat with a triple layer of Anti-Accountability Armor.

So no, no signs at all.

Selling legalized weed -- which she campaigned for and voted for as a senator -- wasn't enough.

She also sold illegal weed.

hempstorelucas.jpg

The NYT:

"Two people familiar with the case said the search was related to an investigation opened during the Biden administration that has continued, examining possible corruption and bribery related to marijuana dispensary businesses."


I wonder if JackStraw knows her. He enjoys the Wacky Weed so he is probably best friends with the so-called "420 Grandma." All these Potties have each other on speed-dial.

Speed dial more like weed dial, amirite

A report from Tony Sergura:

FBI agents--armed with multiple federal search warrants signed by a judge--are raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic powerhouse, first Black woman in that role, Finance Committee chair, and architect of the state's aggressive 10-1 redistricting map. Federal sources tie it to a major corruption investigation. The warrants extend next door... to the Cannabis Outlet she co-owns--the very dispensary this self-proclaimed "420 Grandma" championed while co-sponsoring legalization and blurring the lines between legislator and cannabis entrepreneur.

Lucas, a close ally of CIA plant Gov. Abigail Spanberger and a force in Virginia politics since 1992, once dismissed U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner as "cucks in the corner" while engineering her party's electoral firewall. Irony doesn't get more poetic. Power's intoxicating brew--redistricting dominance, business interests in cannabis (with past reports of mislabeled high-THC products), and care facilities--now meets the cold scrutiny of federal law enforcement.

"Care facilities"? Oh no-- isn't that Democrats' favorite vehicle for pillaging the public funds?

And indeed, not only does this illicit drug dealer own pot stores, she also runs a facility for the mentally retarded.

And she just happens to be in charge of regulating her own easily-abused business.

And, get this, she proposed and then voted for a special payment bump for her own business.

But Lucas presents the Senate with an issue. The close alignment of her private business and her public obligations and authorities raises issues of public perception and Senate integrity.

For 28 years, she has operated a business, Lucas Lodge LLC, that provides Medicaid-funded services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

She serves and has served for years on two committees that are completely intertwined with her business:


The Senate Committee on Education and Healthcare (since 1994) oversees the regulator of her business, the Department of Behavioral Health and Disability Services (DBHDS), and the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), also known as Virginia Medicaid, and writes the laws with which Lucas Lodge must comply.

The Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations (since 2008 ), of which she is now chair, funds the operations of both agencies and Virginia Medicaid, which, as indicated earlier, pays Lucas Lodge for services.

The situation remains, at best, awkward for the Senate. It just got worse.

This year, Sen. Lucas is the patron of the Senate Budget Bill (SB-30), which amended the baseline budget submitted by Gov. Youngkin. Item 291 #4s in that bill, Developmental Disability Waiver Rates for Selected Services, will specifically increase Lucas Lodge's Medicaid payments above the baseline. Sen. Lucas's budget bill passed her committee and the Senate floor.

SB 30 will be the starting point for the Senate in the upcoming Special Session negotiations that she will lead.

We'll see what happens.

Although people are talking mostly about her pot business, I bet the more serious corruption charges will involve pilfering Medicaid money. It's the Democrats' main business at this point.

Update:

she also runs a facility for the mentally retarded.

Yep. The VA Senate.

Posted by: Mr Aspirin Factory

Update: Politico is a joke. Their senior politics editor immediately accused people reporting the story of faking this weirdo's photo and falsely claiming she was a top ally of Spanberger.

She is obviously a top ally of Spanberger, and the photo comes from the Virginia Senate's own website:

23 MSNBC is already trying to spin the FBI raid on powerful Virginia Democrat Senator Louise Lucas (Senate President Pro Tempore) as Trump revenge:

They even admit the investigation has been going on for 3 years, long before Trump’s current term, over evidence she solicited or accepted bribes.

Even then they immediately pivoted and let TDS take over: “Trump’s ally was pushing charges… good for the White House before midterms…”

This is the same network that cheered every Trump indictment that is now clutching pearls over a Democrat facing a years-long corruption probe.

The double standard is exhausting.

TBH, I'm surprised it took them as long as it did to invoke Trump.

125 I despise the "public servants" preying on the public by allowing state-run gambling and state-regulated weed, let alone decriminalized hard drugs (which Oregon also briefly experimented with). At best, the Oregon Lottery is a sadistic innumeracy tax, funding inflated school administration by failing kids in the classroom; but really, gambling addiction destroys families, and a hotline doesn't cut it. And we really had a good thing going with "medical marijuana."

It was perfect. You had to jump through hoops, and there was stigma; so even though realistically any dedicated weed enthusiast could get his "weed card" from the anxiety and depression caused by weed deprivation, that wasn't something that Becky and John in the suburbs did.

So, the "lifestyle" potheads got customized strains from concierge growers, which kept them away from the polymorphic criminality of street dealers looking to grow business by adulterating their product with something more addictive, or by getting their customers turning tricks (or both). Nice hippy chicks not otherwise good at business found productive work as medical weed growers. And no one else got sucked in.

Virtually anything that has a measurable pharmacological effect is going to be useful for SOMETHING. Might not be what one thinks it is though, and often times there are other, more traditional drugs that are better at the job, with less chance of side effects that are worse than the original malady.

Like anything there are people who go to extremes. Be it weed, alcohol, food, sex, gambling you name it. But if you think everyone who smokes weed is living in his mom’s basement you’re very out of touch with reality.
Posted by: Heroq at May 06, 2026 04:13 PM (5Yz+T)

Like any vice (and it is a vice), it can be relatively harmless or incredibly destructive. Where's the threshold that takes it from occasional to compulsive? I suspect, because it's essentially unregulated, that for pot, it's lower than for alcohol. That's based on no evidence at all, by the way.

And who does the effect of a destructive vice fall on hardest? The poor. That's why the Democrats don't really care about the poor. Because they push policies destructive to them.

Justin Baldoni Settles With Amber Heard 2.0, Claims He Paid Her Zero Dollars and Is Very "Pleased" With the Outcome

Subhed: Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

Before getting to that, I wanted to mention a story that broke a few weeks ago, but I didn't figure you'd care all that much.

But I think it's semi-important in that it seems to indicate that Hollywood bitches and bastards routinely employ "crisis PR firms" to plant and spread disgraceful, wholly invented defamations against people they're trying to wheedle money (or credit, or power) out of.

AI Summary:

Rebel Wilson's crisis PR team, specifically identified as The Agency Group (TAG), has been deeply involved in legal controversies surrounding the production of her 2024 film The Deb.

Rebel Wilson played "Fat Amy" in the Pitch Perfect movies, and was also in Bridesmaids as the weird roommate. She went on Ozempic and lost some weight, and I guess is now trying to move from supporting comic relief actress to leading lady.

Leaked audio and court documents from March and April 2026 revealed that team members allegedly planned a "heavy" smear campaign against producer Amanda Ghost.

Key Details Regarding the PR Team (as of April/May 2026):

The Agency Group (TAG): This crisis firm, which has worked with other high-profile figures, was allegedly hired by Wilson in 2024 to manage disputes with The Deb producers.

Key Individuals: Leaked audio allegedly captured digital fixer Jed Wallace instructing publicist Melissa Nathan to paint producer Amanda Ghost as a "madame" and "sex trafficker" to ruin her reputation.

"Digital fixer"? I take that to mean someone employed to smear people online.

Internal Communication: In a revealing, court-referenced text message, a TAG employee described Rebel Wilson as "f---ing nuts," as reported in People.

Yeah I got that sense.

Allegations of Smear Sites: Court documents in Sydney and California allege that Wilson directed her team to launch malicious websites (e.g., "AmandaGhostSucks.com") that claimed producer Amanda Ghost preyed on young women.

All these people know is making up defamations about pedophilia about their enemies to gain power or extract wealth.

Denial of Involvement: While these leaked recordings and messages have surfaced, Rebel Wilson has denied in court that she authorized the smear campaign against her colleagues.

Previous Legal Representation: The team was previously associated with high-profile Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman, who has represented other celebrities in crisis cases.

Coincidentally, I'm sure, Bryan Freedman's clients include Tucker Carlson and Me-Again Kelly. Apparently he's now representing Justin Baldoni against Blake Lively.

The scandal is part of a larger, ongoing Australian defamation lawsuit (April/May 2026) brought against Wilson by actress Charlotte MacInnes regarding these same disputes.

So, is this just Hollywood SOP? And did the Democrats' symbiotic relationship with Hollywood normalize the idea of just making up the Pee-Pee Dossier? Did Obama's palling around with Hollywood cocksuckers convince him it was okay to weaponize the obviously-fake dossier, because that's just how the game is played?

As you might know -- or might also have completely tuned out -- fading low/mid-level TV actress Blake Lively decided that she wanted ownership over a would-be romance movie franchise. The movie made good money for a romance, and there are other books to adapt, so it's a valuable bit of IP.

So she made up a raft of apparently-false defamations against the franchise's producer/director/owner (well, he owns the film rights to the book series it's based on) accusing him of sexual harassment. The object of this seemingly-fabricated defamation campaign was to pressure him to turn over control of the series to her.

She filed a (seemingly false) lawsuit against him, leaked news of that lawsuit to friendly media outlets, and got her fancy Hollywood friends like Taylor Swift and her douchebag husband Ryan Reynolds to join the crusade against this man. He filed retaliatory lawsuits in return, alleging defamation.

A judge dismissed most of the counts against Baldoni, but three survived.

And now all lawsuits have been dismissed, with Baldoni apparently winning the settlement.


Blake Lively Received Zero Compensation in Justin Baldoni Settlement: Report



Lively still has a pending motion for attorneys' fees and damages stemming from Baldoni's failed defamation lawsuit


No monetary compensation was reportedly exchanged in the lawsuit settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. TMZ, Variety, and other outlets confirmed the news. Lively still has a pending motion for attorneys' fees and damages stemming from Baldoni's dismissed defamation suit against her.

...

The news arrives a day after Lively and Baldoni settled their legal battle tied to their film, It Ends With Us, avoiding a trial that was scheduled to begin on May 18 and expected to last six to eight weeks. At the time, Rolling Stone learned that Baldoni was especially pleased with the outcome.

The contentious legal fight dates back to Lively's 2024 claims that Baldoni and Wayfarer fostered a toxic, sexually charged work environment that discriminated against women on the set of It Ends With Us. Lively also accused Baldoni and the film's producers of engaging in a campaign to smear her reputation.

Baldoni countersued Lively for $400 million, accusing her of defamation, though the suit was later dismissed. He also sued The New York Times for defamation over their story that broke the news of Lively's original sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni -- that suit was also tossed out.

Earlier this month, a judge dismissed 10 of Lively's 13 claims -- including allegations of sexual harassment -- meaning the trial was set to center on retaliation and breach of contract. Prior to the settlement on Monday, lawyers for both sides argued over the admissibility of expert witness testimony, with a focus on those tied to Lively's claims that she suffered between $39 million and $143 million in losses from the dispute surrounding the film. Baldoni's lawyers countered, arguing Lively's work history didn't support such estimates, and that the four films she'd appeared in over the past eight years had brought her earnings of roughly $21 million.

And now... Blake Lively's career as a low to mid level actress is almost certainly over. She'll be doing guest spots on TV shows, or maybe "star" in Hallmark movies.

She has badly damaged the household's breadwinner Ryan Reynolds, who no longer has the reputation of being a semi-relatable cool brah actor, but now just seems like another mercenary douchebag who has escaped consequences all of his life because of the accident of charm.

All because she craved ownership of something that just didn't belong to her.

I wonder what firms Candace Owens is employing to cause so much emotional distress to Erika Krik that she hands over the organization her husband founded and nutured to that black Nazi grifter and psychopath.

17 "All these people know is making up defamations about pedophilia about their enemies to gain power or extract wealth."

The quote refers to "young women." That is code for legal-age women -- probably in their 20s -- that the author wants you to think are underage because it's more inflammatory.

I've long assumed that, unless an actual age of 16 or under is specified, that any references to "young women," "young ladies," "teenagers," or even "girls" means that the female in question is of legal age, but they want you to think that she is not.

119 Washington just became the first state in U.S. history to terminate a public employee pension plan.

The plan belongs to retired police officers and firefighters. LEOFF Plan 1 was 160% funded as of June 2024 per the state's own actuarial valuation. It had not required a single contribution in 25 years. By 2029 it was projected to reach 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus.

The legislature terminated the plan, swept $3.9 billion, and is using $880 million of it to refill a rainy day fund it already drained to cover a deficit it created.

Here you go!

From thegatewaypundit...

For once, the issue at hand wasn’t what people wore (or didn’t wear), but rather the way people were being described.

If you’ve given any modicum of attention to this year’s Met Gala, you’ve no doubt heard about Aariana Rose Philip, a runway model who recently signed with a major modeling agency.


This decrepit culture instead focused on four things almost exclusively: Philip is black, transgender, someone who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, and the first such model to sign with a major agency.


And now Democratic 2028 Presidential Frontrunner!!

129 The Met Gala is not intended to show beautiful
People wearing lovely clothes. It is a fund raiser for the Fashion part of the Met. This was the theme for this year:

"The 2026 Met Gala, held on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, revolves around the theme “Costume Art”, which is tied to the museum’s spring exhibition of the same name. This theme explores the relationship between fashion and the human body, pairing garments with artworks from the Met’s collection to highlight how clothing functions as a form of artistic expression across history and how artistic representations of the body influence fashion, and vice versa."

So, yes, most of them will look very strange.

“In section four…this is on page two of the bill….”

“It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’”

Reynolds doesn't own a cellular/wireless company. He owns a glorified dropshipping internet business. There's only three large cellular companies, ATT Wireless, Verizon and T-Mobile. And a few small, mostly rural carriers.

Everyone else runs on the Big Three's backbones. Reynolds' company runs on the T-Mobile backbone. They buy huge blocks of bandwidth from the biggies at a discount, then remarkets the bandwidth at whatever price they can support that undercuts the biggies while still providing them a profit.

158 I'm working on my personal projects now. This just came up...

Title: English Longbow

Weapon dominating medieval battlefields.

In the muddy fields of 14th- and 15th-century Europe, English and Welsh archers turned the tide of battles with a simple but deadly weapon: the English longbow. Made from yew wood and standing about six feet tall, these powerful bows could send arrows over 200 yards with enough force to pierce armor. Trained archers could loose up to 12 arrows per minute—devastating against charging knights.

Craftsmen shaped each bow from carefully selected yew staves, pairing the heartwood’s strength with sapwood’s springiness. Archers practiced from boyhood, as English law required weekly training. The visceral reality at battles like Agincourt in 1415: thousands of arrows darkened the sky, sticking into mud, horses, and plate armor, turning French charges into chaos. Archers even planted sharpened stakes to stop cavalry.

This weapon reshaped warfare and society. Common farmers and yeomen became feared soldiers who could defeat armored nobles, weakening old feudal ideas. Victories brought pride and some social mobility to archery families.

179 All these people know is making up defamations about pedophilia about their enemies to gain power or extract wealth.

From 2020-2024 the entire left told me only crazy conspiracy theorists believed that any number of our elites were involved in sex trafficking or pedophilia.

Then Trump won the election. Suddenly not only were the larger arguments about the Epstein operation true, but all sorts of right leaning figures were actually involved.

Now, the real takeaway here is they think the Epstein claims were effective politically, and they want to use them against MAGA. But the amount of 180s on this are stunning.

Steven King for example tweeted there were no Epstein clients and only dumb yokels thought there were and yet a few months later he tweeted Trump was an Epstein client...

Yes. Those cities voting 90-10 donk are very helpful when you can pull in a bunch of lower population 60-40 R suburbs to dilute them, but it is just as easy to divide the cities into chunks to give to larger suburb districts as well.

Now one interesting part of this - most of the vote fraud comes from those cities. If the Rs do a good job in redistricting and it no longer matters that half of the votes in the cities are fake I wonder if the Dems will stop doing it?

The thing to watch for would be much lower turnout in those cities...

243 I briefly packed the trivia memory lobe of my brain and read about this lawsuit #MeToo garbage.

When the texts started flying I read as they involved Taylor Swiftboat. Things came to a thudding end for Lively a couple of weeks ago when many of the accusations were dropped.

She's married to a guy who has leetle simian eyes too close, like cyclops. Who made bajillions before they married...gasp...on a PLANTATION. Which I could care less about.

What I don't like about the mean girl is her attitude (and clothes). Also the facial mole but that's beside the point. Her and Ryan's "acting" are the same. I refuse to watch either in any movie from now til the end of time. She's done, don't know about Beady Eyes McGoo.

Baldoni? He seems ok to me. Married to a much prettier lady that Fakely. He had video proof as well of her little take overs. One involving her "surprise" kiss not in the script.

Internet rumors were that since she sleeps with many of her costars he was not caught in her web. Ego crushed she lied to mighty Ryan and it all began.

If you are being sexually harassed you don't force yourself on the guy, amirite? Or woo him with texts mentioning "no teeth" for her bj's skill.

*********************************
She's also a tall & big boned woman from what I can tell. He had the right to ask that with his back issue vs her going loco about it.

She also was very rude (I know this from when this started) in an interview with a European woman who made a comment about her baby bump. Which was not a state secret at the time. Incredibly rude and snotty.

This couple really thought they were above everyone & untouchable.

The video of her wrestling with her parachute dream gown last night caught her bossing around about 5 men trying to help the wench.

It snowballed from there, I guess. However she bragged to Swift & others about "taking over" the movie (which I won't see). Her wardrobe choices (hideous on the movie). Trying to get rights to the spin off that won't happen. She and Ryan tried and failed to ruin Baldoni. At an awards show she had him and his family be in the basement or another floor to not outshine her.

She's a B word and it ain't beautiful.

The thing about Ms Lively that told me what she was involved the photo shopped Mother's day picture of Princess Catherine before she announced she had cancer. Ms Lively mocked her soundly, in several different instagrams (? tiktok? I have no idea how these people micro aggress others) and when the cancer was announced, said the typical "I'm sorry if you were offended" nonsense. Bless her heart.

Withered Aryan Hooker Me-Again Kelly: Tuq'r and I May Be Losing Our Old Audience, But We're Gaining an "International" Audience of "Young" Muslims and That's Even Better!

She's so stupid she doesn't realize she wasn't supposed to admit that her audience is hemorrhaging Americans and gaining Young Muslim Bots from Clickfarms in Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt.

Me-Again doesn't realize that most advertisers covet wealthy (generally) western audiences, and could give f***-all about Bot Farmers in Lahore.

Look at how much Vaseline Me-Again is spreading over the camera lens to make it gauzy and soft-focus so that her wrinkles are less visible. Bitch is spreading more Vaseline over delicate apertures than David French.

Compare her current enthusiasm for Islam -- now that she's "gotten clear about Israel," as she says -- with the position she took just four months ago.


Me-Again claimed at the TPUSA event shortly after Charlie's murder that she felt a powerful, overwhelming instinct to "protect" Erika Kirk.

That instinct lasted two months, until Candace Owens begin insinuating that Erika Kirk was part of the conspiracy to murder her own husband (and also was a lesbian pedophile child sex trafficker). At that point, Me-Again bravely declared that the only criticism being directed at Owens was "about Israel," and therefore she would never, ever honor her "powerful overwhelming instinct" to "protect Erika."

After supporting the public Mau-Mauing of a grieving widow -- who is now surrounded by expensive security because Candace Owens' cultists threaten her and her children's lives -- Me-Again now complains about the many "bots" that are flooding her twitter threads.

Bitch, bots provide you with 60% of your audience. You take the good with the bad.

Meanwhile, the man that Me-Again insists is lucid continues pushing RussiaGate 2.0. Now it's the Israelis who are blackmailing Trump.

Tuq'r also believes that Trump is casting a "spell" on his followers, to make them comply with his sorcerous commands. "Probably literally a spell" that puts people into a "dream-land like you're smoking hash or something" and "there may be a supernatural component to it, I'm not a theologian."

Then shut the fuck up you brain-damaged retard.

So Trump is a sorcerer who can control people with mind spells But Also Trump is "being held hostage" by Bibi Netanyahu?

And then after I pay him he instead decides my roof is fine and instead tears down my deck.

Thusly do I explain my "concept", such as it is, of "politics".

"Movement" and "our side" and stupid labels - completely uninteresting and irrelevant.

124 I wonder how much genuine influence these people actually have outside of X, which is rampant with click bots anyway. Everything on social media is fake and gay.

I think a lot of people don’t realize just how easily and cheaply social media numbers can be faked. I just watched a Rick Beato video about whether a particular band’s audience had been completely faked, and while I generally think he was right about the music aspect of it, he seemed to think that Spotify and YouTube numbers can’t be goosed cheaply by bot or human factories.

Spotify I don’t know; if its numbers are based on paid subscriptions, then goosing the numbers will be proportionally as expensive as a subscription. But any free service like YouTube is ripe for automated and semi-automated fraud.

127 Only reason I think Tucker ever garnered much attention at all was because when the authoritarian fever was at its height (vegetable administration), he'd have on serious people who were actually involved in real events, and let them talk. The Capitol Police chief on 1/6, Sund. Various actual scientists re COVID. Bukele. His questions were OK, main thing was there was actually interviews (non-hostile, non-stunt interviews) with key people who of course we un-personed by the "press".

Tucker's never been more than a media Beltway lightweight on substance (this ranks just below generic Beltway lightweight). Somehow watched a speech he gave years ago to some group, some decent humor and etc but idiotic populist (in the dumbest sense) crap on serious subjects.

Apex of it all was the Lavrov interview. Whole thing was hyped/centered on "OMG 2 BIGGEST NUKE SUPERPOWERS AREN'T TALKING TO EACH OTHER!!!! REEEE!! GLOBAL WAR COMING!!!". Tucker asked Lavrov about this. Lavrov's expression was priceless. Savvy vet, he didn't give the "WTF?" look, just calmly said "no, of course we talk all the time". Hilarious.

But Trump also knows when to cut his losses and when nothing more can be gained. He thought he saw a feasible, affordable, and relatively safe chance to bring back Persia if he decapitated leadership and left the people an opening. Didn't happen. But he also saw a way to remind the world why we matter. That has happened.

So, he's got nothing more MAGA for us to gain. Give it a few years, and maybe things change.

It would be different if he wanted us to nation build, but he doesn't. AKA - if he leaves now, that's okay with me, and probably most of his voters.

In the last years of his show he also brought on a lot of alternative media people - the kind of people who are not mainstream, but garner a lot of attention on X (e.g. Curtis Yarvin). He was game to have them on and share their views, which was nice for people who aren't active online and needed a break from the same old cast of characters that are on all of the tv shows.

Feeding his mate and babies.

We have red finch nesting in a hanging basket. The only time the male gets involved is when he feeds babies and the mama bird. The mother bird built the nest. Otherwise he's useless and probably has another bird or two on the side. Sometimes he babysits while mama goes to the feeder for seed (they only eat seeds).

When they fly off I can use my front porch again as my dude has become a bird man. This is his new hobby.

He notes (he has a bird camera on the nest with a solar panel) that mama is looking fat again. I am going to use the front porch if she's going to lay some more eggs. I think we can peacefully get along.

Instead they're this weird "how do you do, fellow kids" meme where they're trying to be young and hip and cool like Hasan Piker or that skank that runs the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Or it doesn't. I'm sure this conversation is happening a lot. What are we willing to spend/risk and how long are we willing to spend/risk it. By actions so far, it seems they will not put US troops on the ground in numbers to get it. They will also not risk anhilating the Iranian people to get it. So the US is not willing to do anything to get it. There may be many things they aren't willing to do, and they may settle for "promises" as the out if what they ARE willing to do doesn't or seemingly can't accomplish the goal.

Not going to comment on my boobs as this is a family blog.

He stays busy and plays the guitar a lot. Keeps him off the streets and tame in our castle.

263 Not far from North Park but lately not a big variety of birds. Crows galore. Hummingbirds all the time year round. Not much else (mourning doves occasionally though not recently, great horned owls at night, very cool, hunting rodents). Presence of what looks like a very large Coopers hawk might explain some of this. Crows must have nest nearby because they dive-bomb him all the time when he's cruising the updrafts along the valley rim.

In two different summers I had one fly up under my giant hat with me, make eye contact from a few inches away, and fly off.

276 Red tail hawks are the long-term norm here, always have been. But some new kid in town has driven them out. Coopers hawks (sp?) will kill them - pretty territorial and not screwing around (brother down near the beach found red tail body parts in his yard for a while when a Coopers was establishing his boundaries).

When I was living in SoCal, there was a small hawk that hung around the building where I worked. He used to hunt rats in the auto parts yard over the fence from the parking area. Once I caught a glimpse of him struggling to fly to the top of a short telephone pole at the fence line, struggling because his ratburger lunch was still alive and bucking like a bronco. Finally got up to the top of the pole and started digging into the rat's abdomen looking for the tasty parts... while the rat was still squirming.

"Ray (Our Security) told me to stay on my feet and hold onto him," she continued. "If I was knocked down, I'd die. I fought the assault as best I could for 15 minutes, but they tore all my clothes off and raped me with their hands, with flagpoles and with sticks. They sodomized me over and over. They were fighting for my body. I couldn't hold on to Ray any longer. There was a moment I gave up, but I kept thinking about my two babies."
