The Morning Report — 9/ 11 /26

Good morning kids. We are absolutely loaded with links and of course today being the 25th anniversary of 9/11 as is all too and painfully obvious the largest category far and away is about the events of that horrendous day. I'm sure we all remember where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news. At the time, working as I was in both show business and the advertising industry, my time was divided between LA and NYC, and it was just after 6:00AM on the west coast when my father, of blessed memory, phoned me, and my first thought was "well here is again calling to "use up his minutes before they run out" (remember those days?) until I heard him tell me to turn on the TV and that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Yes, what he had said stunned me but it was the tone of his voice that was the shocker. That is until I did as he said and saw the smoking hole in the first tower. I remember physically taking a step backward trying to process what I was seeing. Clear blue sky and the smoldering hole in the facade. My first reaction was accident and thinking Cessna. That is until watching in abject horror as the second jumbo jet zoomed in and struck the second tower. Then I yelled the word "WAR."

Whether fate, Divine providence or dumb luck, I would've been right in the WTC plaza as the planes struck. I was in NYC exactly a week before, and had a routine I stuck to, which was eating breakfast with my folks and then taking the subway from Forest Hills down to the WTC, where I visited the Century 21 department store, J&R music world and then a cigar store before ambling up Broadway or Church street to grab some breakfast before either heading back to Queens or to my office. There but for the grace of God. I head returned to LA a few days before the attacks despite my parents wanting me to extend my stay so I could be with them for Rosh Hashanah, which was a week later on the 18th that year.

I was lucky as were a few other relatives and friends of mine who had business in or very near the WTC that morning but somehow were prevented from being among the victims. Not so a classmate of mine who died a horrible and needless death that day.

Kathleen Moran was a Brooklyn native. The second-born from a big Irish family, she often hosted the whole family for gatherings at her Bay Ridge apartment. In her backyard she tended a garden patch of tomatoes, zucchini and more, which she jestingly referred to as “her crops.” Kathleen made memories with her nieces and nephews at birthday parties and on trips to Disney World, and maintained a network of close friends who accompanied her on her travels, whether on weekend road trips to the beach or a week’s sojourn to Italy. After 9/11, Kathleen’s family found a jewelry box in her apartment containing a medley of small items precious to her. Her 1977 class ring represented her years at Midwood High School, where she sang and acted in school musicals. A gold broach with emerald stones spoke to her Irish heritage, the home country of her parents. There were also three Christmas ornaments, commemorating her travels around the world. These were only part of Kathleen’s much larger collection of distinctive ornaments, enough to fill multiple trees during the holiday season, according to her sister Bernadette.

May sweet Kathleen's memory and indeed all of the victims' be for a blessing.

Switching gears completely, lest we forget who and what perpetrated this, it was ISLAM. Unfortunately even as the wreckage and ruins in lower Manhattan, the Pentagon and Shanksville PA we, that is to say the powers that be not only forgot but did their best/worst and continue to do so in covering up for the evil beasts who perpetrated this and those who cheered and continue to cheer it on.

9/11 Was The Beginning Of A Religious War That We Lost. . . We thought religion had no real influence on peoples and cultures, so we failed to recognize the religious nature of the conflict... Today, it’s easy to see just how naive and shallow Ambrose’s analysis was. The idea that there would be no more major ideological conflicts, or that Western civilization had nothing to fear from competing cultures and peoples, was positively delusional.. . At the dawn of the 21st century, no one could possibly take religion seriously, or think that medieval religious disputes had any relevance in the post-Cold War world that was taking shape. Then 9/11 happened. But instead of shattering this delusion, great efforts were made to shore it up. This proved difficult (but not impossible) because the leaders of al-Qaida were obviously motivated by religious beliefs, and said so repeatedly.

I was comforted/heartened for perhaps a nanosecond or so when Dubya proclaimed in the bullhorn that the perpetrators would "hear from all of us," but then he declared that we were in a war on "Terror." Right then and there I knew we were screwed.

And as for the estimable John Daniel Davidson, 9/11 was not the beginning of a "religious war," As Islam has been at war with the Civilized world since its inception nearly 1500 years ago. It seeks the death of unbelievers in its quest to conquer the world in order to make it Islamic in its entirety. And the Shiite part of Islam believes that bringing about Armageddon will make that happen, with them at the top of the heap for all time. So, regardless of how you think President Trump is handling the war with Iran, the leading Shiite nation state, that he is actively doing whatever he can to prevent them from obtaining the nuclear weapons to bring about Armageddon is absolutely the right thing to do, higher gasoline prices for a while being an acceptable price to pay.

Switching gears yet again, I draw your attention to the lead photograph which was the view from my former apartment in NYC when my wife lived there before we met. It was taken not long before 9/11. And she was getting ready for work when the Towers were hit and collapsed. So on that day and for several weeks to follow she was breathing in the air. Now 25 years on, during treatment for what we think is an unrelated neurological issue, the doctors discovered scarring on her lung due to potential asbestos exposure. Oh joy oh bliss.

Anyway, that's I'll I've got the energy for on this terrible anniversary.

Have a good day. And God Bless all the victims and their families, as well as our first responders and the military for all their sacrifices on that day and in the wake of the attacks, from Iraq and Afghanistan all the way to Epic Fury.

Death to Islam and to those who are allied with it who seek our destruction. May we see all of them wiped out in our lifetimes, so that we may actually have a lifetime to live in freedom and in service of the Lord and our fellow human beings. Amen.

Have a great weekend.

9/11/01 25 years on

Abruzzo was quadriplegic and used a power wheelchair. Everyone around him faced the same brutal fact: the only way out was down, and Abruzzo couldn't take the stairs... 10 Port Authority coworkers stayed. They were Michael Ambrosio, Peter Bitwinski, Phillip Caffrey, Richard Capriotti, Michael Curci, Michael Fabiano, Wilson Pacheco, Anthony Pecora, Gerald Simpkins, and Margaret Zoch. They became known as the "Port Authority Ten."

Midterms are always about the incumbent prez, with voters usually expressing doubts and discontent — that’s why the “out” party almost always gains seats. What Republicans can do to counter those tendencies is pretty obvious: Remind voters of how very much the GOP has done right, fixing the messes left behind by [so-called quote-unquote] President Joe Biden and the hyperactive Democrat Congress of 2021-’23 — and of how extremely weird the Democrats remain.

If the EU opts to freeze funds to the region or attempts to override state government decisions through financial pressure, this could increase hostility towards the EU and bolster support for the AfD. It is also possible that the EU goes ahead with defunding the region in order to slight President Donald J. Trump, who congratulated the AfD on their win earlier this week. “Wow!

Speaking of which: Fixed the performance of my runtime. The interpreter is now as fast as Ruby, where before it needed the compiler to match that. The compiler averages around 3x faster. And because it has a rich set of builtins, using those really puts on the afterburners, with minor changes in code lifting it to 15x the performance of the Ruby interpreter.

Of course, Ruby now has a compiler of its own, which I haven't tested against.

Right now, integrating multiprecision maths into the core.

23 I just saw another comment by JM about comments being deleted even on the Lenovo Laptop.

This is consistent with being placed on the ban list (maybe IP ban?) by one of the COBs.

JM: Try turning off the router to your house for 5 to 15 minutes, then power it up and see if it gets you a new IP address, and see if that helps? (Your router may have grabbed an IP address that was already on the IP ban list, the last time it refreshed and got an address.)

That's the only theory I have. I may be completely wrong.

Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant, a Moron behind enemy lines at September 11, 2026 05:36 AM (O7YUW)

34 I'm awake a little ahead of the alarm, not Stirling's fault, and having coffee.

We tried weighing Stirling last night on the bathroom scale. Much hilarity ensued. Linda scooped him up in her arms and stepped on the scale, then let him go and stepped on it again.

After subtracting, we got *17* lbs. for him. That can't be right -- he was 15.5 at the vet two weeks ago. I probably misread where the little red line was hitting on the dial; it's not a digital scale.

38 @33/four seasons: My thoughts this morning are running along the lines of delivering three bunker busters to:

1. Masjid al-Haram (the the Great Mosque of Mecca)
2. The Prophet's Mosque in Medina
3. Al-Aqsa in Jerusalem (where the Temple Mount is).

Times would correspond exactly to the moments 25 years ago when the North and South towers, and the Pentagon were hit by the planes flown by the Muslim terrorists.

And then for good measure, drop a 20 megaton nuke on (2) and (1) (in that order) and at the exact times the two towers fell.

And those 5 times would be:

08:46 - North tower hit
09:03 - South tower hit
09:37 - Pentagon hit
09:59 - South tower collapses
10:28 - North tower collapses

Vengeful thoughts, indeed.

39 The ethanol-free gas I went to feed the Buick with yesterday had mushroomed to $4.19, while regular was $3.47, about the cheapest in town now. I was going to spring for the E0, since most regular gas is now $3.79-3.89. But above the pump was a notice, "May Contain Ethanol." Uh, I'm not gonna pay extra for ethanol free if it ain't ethanol free. Foolishly, I tried asking the clerk if he knew about this. His only English is "Yeah," "No," and "How much?", so that was pointless.

I bought the regular. Oh, well.

60 The Exxon-branded convenience store/gas station I usually visit near my house is also staffed with surly and English-incompetent people. There, though, I can use my Exxon gas card at the pump and not have to interact with them. Their "ethanol free" gas, which I suspect is also laced with alcohol, has been at $3.69 for some time, even when the price of regular bumped up and bumped down. Either it's old gas; or it's got E10 in it, they get it cheaper than they can E0, and can offer it at the same price over a long period.

I'm reminded of the chain of stations in Kansas that was not labeling the premium they were selling at a discount as being E10 or E15. I reported them to the KS Department of Agriculture and heard back that they were being forced to label the stuff properly.

Several California newsrooms have been decimated in a brutal round of layoffs.

McClatchy, the media giant behind The Miami Herald and The Sacramento Bee, announced the severe cuts Thursday, with some newsrooms losing as much as 40% of their staff.

More than 90 journalists nationwide were affected, according to estimates from unions representing workers at various McClatchy-owned papers, Poynter reported.

More than 90 journalists nationwide were affected, according to estimates from unions representing workers at various McClatchy-owned papers, Poynter reported.

One year ago today - we lost Charlie Kirk

From Turning Point USA

One year ago, our founder, our leader, and our friend, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated while doing what he had devoted his life to: standing before young Americans and challenging them to think, to speak, and to have the courage to stand for what they believe.
There are no words that can adequately describe what this past year has been like.
We have had to learn how to carry on without the person who was at the center of everything we do. We have celebrated milestones that Charlie should have been here to celebrate. We have stood on stages where his voice should have been heard. We have watched his children grow without their father there to see it. And we have felt the weight of his absence in ways that never seem to get easier.
For the people who knew and loved Charlie, September 10 will never simply be an anniversary. It is the day our lives were changed forever.
***
We miss him.
We grieve him.
And we will never forget him.
One year later, Turning Point remains committed to carrying forward the work Charlie began.
For Charlie. Always.

***

One year ago, we tragically lost a fearless patriot. A champion for freedom and for our country.

Charlie Kirk changed the course of American history. His courage, conviction, and love of country will never be forgotten. ❤️

Costa Rican man, 119, seeks recognition as world's oldest person

In a modest wooden home in Sardinal, about a 20-minute drive from Costa Rica's Pacific coast, Jose Flores spends his days napping, eating meals prepared by his granddaughter, and arm-wrestling with her.
His family and official records indicate that he is 119 years old, which would make ‌him the world's oldest man, though international verification of his birth date is still pending as specialists review historical documents.
***
As the validation process continues, Flores' family is awaiting an answer that Hellen Flores said would carry meaning beyond their own household.
"It would be a source of pride, ⁠both for the family and for the country," she said.
Flores had eight children and now has 23 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.
The world's oldest living person is Ethel Caterham of Britain. Born on August 21, 1909, in Hampshire, England, ⁠she turned 117 in 2026. She was recognized as the world's oldest living person after Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas died in April 2025.

Would you want to live to be that old?

Fossilised dinosaur poo contains stunningly preserved feather

A piece of fossilised dinosaur poo contains one of the best-preserved feathers from the dinosaur age.
A palaeontologist found the feather by chance while looking for fish fossils.
Researchers said the discovery, published today in Current Biology, might provide clues about why today's birds are the only dinosaur group that survived mass extinction.
Lead author Jingmai O'Connor, associate curator of fossil reptiles at the Field Museum in Chicago, said there might be more hidden feathers inside fossilised faeces, known as coprolites.
"This is the first-ever feather in a coprolite … and it probably would not have been found if it wasn't for a lucky break," Dr O'Connor said.

Dino, are you here tonight? We'd love your insights on your ancestor's droppings!

Largest bluefin tuna ever caught on rod and reel snagged off San Diego coast

Good catch!
Fishermen in San Diego were stunned to catch a nearly 500-pound bluefin tuna this week — sending the local fishing community into a frenzy.
“We both got a look at it, and we didn’t even say anything,” Markus Medak of Shearwater Fishing, who snagged the prize catch with the help of another, unnamed fisherman, told Fox 5.
***
That’s the largest bluefin ever caught on rod and reel, according to Medak.
The record-breaking fish was brought to Tommy Gomes’s Tunaville Market and Grocery in Point Loma, which sells to local restaurants.
***
A representative for the restaurant said that every part will be used — even its spinal fluid, considered a delicacy in some cultures.

Spinal fluid? Umm, OK.

The Van Winkle Family Announces the 2026 Release of Its Annual Whiskey Collection

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery and Buffalo Trace Distillery today announced that the 2026 Van Winkle Whiskey Collection is on its way, once again delivering one of American whiskey's most sought-after and closely watched annual releases.
Produced in highly limited quantities, the collection represents four generations of Van Winkle whiskey-making tradition and decades of patience, with six aged expressions ranging from ten to twenty-three years. The 2026 collection includes Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon 10-Year-Old, Van Winkle Special Reserve Bourbon 12-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 15-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 20-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 23-Year-Old, and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13-Year-Old.
***
The Van Winkle family’s legacy in American whiskey dates more than a century, beginning in the late 1800s when Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle, Sr. started his career with Louisville’s W.L. Weller & Sons before helping establish the Stitzel-Weller Distillery, which opened in 1935. His commitment to quality and carefully aged whiskey laid the foundation for the Van Winkle Collection, a celebrated family of bourbon and rye whiskeys that carries his name and enduring philosophy. In 2002, the Van Winkle family partnered with Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, where that legacy continues today through the careful crafting and aging of each expression.

MSRP for these bottles ranges from $170 - $500. If you happen to see one on the shelves, the price tags will likely be quite higher. I've seen these bottles in stores for as much as 5X their MSRP. Ridiculous!

I don't think that's a great city to leave his statue as it will be vandalized.

The amount of hatred towards this man is amazing. He did nothing to these rabid freaks. He spoke the truth,which, I guess, is too much to handle.

I can't imagine having this much hatred towards anyone. On top of losing your young husband, leaving you with two babies, Erica Kirk has to endure pure hatred. I hope she shelters as much as she can from it. My husband's brother died at 33yrs and left a young widow with two little sons our boy's age. That was an unbelievable and hideous time for her and she did not have a world of hate aimed at her. God bless and protect his family.

Nice music. Thanks, Doof.

Tuna is in such demand in Japan, some crazy Aussies literally set up a netted area off the west coast of Australia where they would keep tuna they caught before shipping them to Japan.

They really, really like tuna in Japan.

82 At the now-moved Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, there was an oh-dark-thirty auction most mornings, which was dominated by the big bluefin, which would bring enormous sums. At one point visitors/tourists were allowed into the auction, then they closed it, now the market was moved (not sure where) from its prime spot on the river.

I never saw the auction but did get a photo of the whale on sale on one visit. That was different.

94 ARiK, recall that in the early 2000s, the 3 big "issues" that helped spark the only recall attempt in CA history (when Ahhnold took over) were an increase in the car registration rates, giving driver's licenses to illegals, and a particularly egregious looting of the taxpayers by the prison guards' union, all courtesy of Gray Davis (described, I think by long-time Dem leader in Sacramento Jesse Unruh, as "like a mashed-potato sandwich" - colorless and tasteless).

Today? 100 things 1,000 times worse don't even arouse notice, much less objection, in this pathetic politically dead place. Of course much of the country has degraded just as much or more in the intervening decades, otherwise national picture wouldn't look like it does.

In a modest wooden home in Sardinal, about a 20-minute drive from Costa Rica's Pacific coast, Jose Flores spends his days napping, eating meals prepared by his granddaughter, and arm-wrestling with her.
His family and official records indicate that he is 119 years old, which would make ‌him the world's oldest man, though international verification of his birth date is still pending as specialists review historical documents.

As the validation process continues, Flores' family is awaiting an answer that Hellen Flores said would carry meaning beyond their own household.
"It would be a source of pride, ⁠both for the family and for the country," she said.

My future ex husband took me with his family to the most awesome Italian restaurant in Providence. I don’t remember the name.

I had the puttanesca. It was divine. So was the ravioli. My ex got veal parm. It was to die for. 12 of us at the table. We drank a LOT of wine.

Tonight we destroyed the largest Iranian outpost outside Iran - the Ali Taher Tunnels in Lebanon.

Completing the task. Happy New Year!

Dr. Eli David@DrEliDavid -

Ali Taher ridge tunnels in Lebanon: Built by the IRGC over the past two decades, costing tens of billions of dollars (from the pockets of poor Iranians).

All gone an hour ago:
The IDF used 1,100 tons of explosives to blow it all up.

151 Saw the Aeros play the then-San Diego WHA team, with Howe centering his two sons on one line. That was interesting. Also saw Mark star in a college tournament here a few years prior.

One August we had two guys from the Green Bay IHL team show up for the Friday pick-up scrimmage. They and team mates had rented a beach/party house here for the week before training camp. Of course it was easy to instantly tell these guys were either pro or recent high-level collegiate. But in classic hockey culture fashion, they didn't take a shot during the scrimmage, only passing and play-making and (duh) raising the level of play.

Mary, I am afraid I have to tell you that your one-woman crusade to save the snowball bush to the side of the library main steps has come to naught. City employees chainsawed it down today, and it is a shame since your "Slam Powtry for the puertiy of the Viburnium" was so moving at the last Library board meeting, and I suspect you could have gone on for an hour if they hadn't called time and had the police throw you out when you refused to relinquish the microphone. I am tempted to complain for the way they tased you with only five warnings, even after you started screaming at them.

I asked, apparently the Library board has decided to "put in a shadbush or some sort of amelanchier that won't sprawl so much" so perhaps it won't blight the community after all.

233 The love and pride of US Marines is in my DNA from my father who spent 30mo in the South Pacific after Pearl Harbor.

Here's a snippet of a story on the link I posted above of Marines in California the morning of 9/11:

"I go to the next room and they had a TV, well at that point the first tower had been struck and my head mate, OOD and I see the second plane hit the second tower. At that point the 3 of us run up and down the cat walk slamming on doors and at this point we had all our desert gear already packed and one of the most beautiful things I saw was hundreds of marines throwing seabags over the 3rd floor balcony and half dressed running to formation to hop in the 5 tons to be taken to headquarters of our companies."

Thank you, God, for the best military, ever, the world has ever seen. We sleep tonight thanks to men and women who serve. Thank you.

238 CNN Report: Over 100 U.S. military advisers are on Saudi soil, feeding intelligence and targets to Saudi forces in the operation against the Houthis. The U.S. is providing geospatial targeting and a tool that lets officers track the battlefield in real time, but is not joining strikes or refueling.

American officials now believe hundreds of Revolutionary Guards officers are inside Yemen. One assesses the Iranian officers are working with the Houthis to eventually close the Bab al-Mandab strait, a move CNN earlier described as Tehran's "doomsday weapon" if talks with the U.S. collapse

I remember asking her if this was how Pearl Harbor felt. She said this felt worse, because no one she knew could place PH on a map at that time. Downtown Manhattan? Well, mom grew up in Brooklyn, so yeah, it felt worse..

304 Clayton S. Wood, a minister, wrote something about Charlie Kirk that seemed similar to growth I saw in him, too.

"I remember Charlie first as an educator. His gift was persuasion, the willingness to stand in a crowd of people who disagreed with him and make his case anyway. But the Charlie I watched in his final years was not the same Charlie who started. Early on, there was a hunger in his debates to humiliate an opponent, to win the exchange and leave the other guy crushed. Much of that was happening when he was in his early twenties.
Somewhere along the way that hunger changed into something else. He became a deeply spiritual man who happened to also be political, rather than a political man who happened to also be spiritual. And the change showed. He started arguing like a man who actually wanted the person across from him to be saved, not just beaten. That shift, from crushing opponents to caring about them, is the real story of Charlie Kirk's last years."

I really didn't appreciate that change until he was gone.

Right after Trump took office I mansplained right here that the Democrats were about to "move on" from the trannies we were talking about every single day, and even to an extent the illegals, as they switched over miraculously to their new best friends, radical islam.

It sounds obvious now in hindsight but trust me it wasn't quite as obvious 20 months ago.

In truth I spend much of my time here (when I'm not making fart jokes) sounding like a mental patient, the penalty of a mind that isn't quite right I guess. I've been telling the good people here what's in store for us since 2008, and will likely continue doing so.

So you are entirely correct the muzzies have a plan. But our domestic enemies are planning right along with them and without these traitors, the muzzies would be practically nowhere right now.

I have a few theories but the winning one is this - Democrats per usual think the "brown people" are stupid. They think that money and naked power will rule all, that the barbarians will fall in line - *or* equally likely, that by the time the real nastiness occurs they (said same Democrats) will be long dead. They don't give a shit what happens when they're gone.

Leftists are so enamored of themselves they have no idea what it's like to believe in something - a real thing that actually exists - beyond yourself - which is why they underestimate islam, and why islamists and leftists BOTH wildly underestimate Christians.

The music business has been centered in Nashville for years now, and Hollywood doesn't produce much of anything in Hollywood anymore. Shit, up until recently Marvel was filming in Georgia until they picked up and moved to Britain. All these hugely expensive movies are made wherever the most generous subsidies are offered (watch the very end credits and see all the different countries). Hell, celebrities don't even live there anymore. The Palisades fire burned any stragglers right out.

372 So much sickness!

What's the solution? Really. What could help solve all this?

*click*

Switch it off! Network nooz. Thik-tok. Social meediya. Place limits on that crap. Don't lock them out, lest they resent it. Help them understand that it's just make-believe, for the most part.

Give the children books. And chores. Teach them how to run their own household and take pride in *a job well done*. Love them and help them make sense of growing up.

378 Israel tonight blew up the al Taher ridge in Lebanon. Huge Iranian/Hezbollah facility, miles of tunnels, weapons storage, housing for fighters . Worth searching the net for video,

That bizarre annoying BOING guy posted some video. Typically utterly incomprehensible. Some stuff somewhere appears to flare up. Who, what, where, when or why ... no idea. Could be Steve Earle's grandad's Copperhead Road moonshine still. I support Israel sending every single solitary fucking jihadi asswipe they can find to his eternal reward of 72 sour grapes. Israel, though, is utterly overrun with self-loathing Communists And in your "America" a jihadi Communist is somehow the mayor of New York City. Imagine that. 25 years after these asswipes took down the World Trader Center, a fucking Muslim Communist is telling you what groceries you're going to buy. Good thing you have all those guns though. They've turned out really useful.

There is no return from being raped. One can never "get over it." There will always be... that. It is a life sentence. Anyone who commits rape needs to equally have a life sentence. With the option to be murdered by the state. For the rapist, there should always be... that.

I am disgusted about some commentors here who "joke" about rape.

My daughter had a great job in Chicago.

She was walking home from her job in broad daylight in her uniform and was drug into an alley and raped.

She cried out for help and no one would help her.

She is fucked up to this day because of being raped.

I hate the people here on ace who make jokes about of rape.

Careful about the selection bias on that one. The emotions you're allowed to see are carefully curated to make you believe that. There was a growing body of the commentariat online beginning to open up about how messed up their lives got after blindly following the trans cult that had taken over education and medicine. Then.... crickets.

They didn't all just say "nevermind" and go away. You simply don't see them anymore.

Where is the function to do a proper search of social media for a specific topic or specific sentiments, like it were Lexis Nexis or something? We just get given what "The Algorithm" blesses us with.

Hungry Babies Cafe

The Arctic
by Norris Niman

When an elephants wants to play with you, you're going to just have to play with him. You literally do not have a choice.

Traditional Nepalese goat-balancing.

Dancing robot.

Yay, I did it!

Baby's first steps.

On to some Adult Babies:

Oh no, someone stole my bag! This actually sucks. I could see this happening to me.

Stupid people cheer as a nearby volcano blows its top, apparently believing that because the volcano is on a screen and because nothing on a screen can hurt you, they are perfectly safe.

Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a user's manual.

YouTubers suffer disasters as they make "unboxing" videos. One big problem I see: Instead of laying the product on the desk and shooting from above while they open it, these Influencer-Types are determined to get their own faces into the shot, which results in them having at least one fewer hand than necessary.

There's some of this going on, but a couple of Soyboy Beta Cucks do it too.

Steve Inman:

Entitled Karen attempts a simple grab-and-run robbery at a gun store, and quickly learns why women should not compete with men in track or Greco-Roman wrestling.

Drunk Karen keeps f***ing around until the woman she's laying hands on lets her find out.

On Rumble: Karens Gone Wild.

More on Rumble: Knuckle sandwich buffet.

Also on Rumble: Content warning for this compilation of vids of civiians fighting back against criminals, because in many cases, shooting ensues and some criminals look like they're dead.

Finally, another Rumble compilation of criminals finding out that law abiding citizens have guns too, and they're usually better shots.

32 "Houston, we've had a problem" was the actual verbiage on 13, first uttered by Jack Swigert most likely. Lovell reiterated a few seconds later. "Roger 13, we're lookin' at it" was the reply. And then they spent a half hour on the ground wondering if maybe it wasn't "an instrumentation problem" which wasn't necessarily wrong, but they did waste a lot of time chasing phantoms. I don't think anybody on board the spacecraft thought it was an instrumentation problem.

When I was in college my first credit card (which I still have) was an AT&T Universal Card. It was credit card, but also a PHONE card, with a code on it and the phone number you called to get a discount on long distance and - most importantly - pay phones. So if you found yourself on the road and needing to call home after a breakdown, you got a discount!

What a world we lost.

This is why I'm not bothered: the Trump administration is aiming for the dove's eye.

I think it was in The Aeneid, the Roman Odyssey analogue by Virgil, that there was an archery contest using a living dove with its foot tied to a ribbon. The first contestant hit the ribbon by accident, so the dove got away; and two others loosed their arrows at it in flight, also missing. The judge interrogated the contestants about what they aiming for: one the dove, one its head, and one its eye. The last one got the laurel wreath.

Trump and his Cabinet are playing hard for the midterms, and strict compliance with all court orders helps with the muddled middle, so there's not even a ghost of a kernel of truth to the Left's lies about his lawlessness. But all these issues will be resolved long before the 2028 election, which is the championship game that will decide if America collapses into permanent one-party socialist rule now or gets a 4-year reprieve.

It is no accident that the more we have "scienced" behavior rather than using traditional morality and the allure of sin to explain human behavior, we have gotten more pagan.

Much of "mental health" these days is explaining away sinful and evil behavior to avoid negative outcomes. "She's just mentally ill," but the more therapists we create, the crazier society becomes. Talk about escalating failure.

This is a spiritual problem, not a pseudo-scientific one.

Wrong. You're a century too late. I'm talking about the crisis of faith in the West.

The craving for a "scientific" approach to problems and the elevation of the secular over the spiritual are what is at work here. Once you declare religion off limits, secular materialist morality takes over, and sees people as mere objects, animals like any other. So a mother killing her children is no big deal, because a human is the same as a dog or a cat - except of course that laws against animal cruelty are now far more strict that those against harming humans. If she'd drowned puppies she'd have been without a single sympathizer.

On the contrary, they did it because they had lost faith. Instead of striving for the eternal, they became fixated on the temporal. The material became more important than the spiritual.

Grant money, government funding, empire building - all material considerations. It's still going on - American bishops telling illegals they no longer have to go to Mass, that they do not need the sacraments because the risk of deportation is worse than the loss of their souls.

Meanwhile every Mass in Africa could be your last. No dispensations. Souls are more important. Happily the Boomer bishops are on their way out, but it will take a while to clean up that particular mess.

No, Trump simply used their weapons against them. He's a very shrewd strategist, and one of his go-to tactics is to simply mirror the Democrats and highlight their hypocrisy.

Not in the old National Review "strongly worded letter" style, but in actual deeds.

125 Sam Altman met with top power utilities to discuss ways to secure the electrical grid.

He also offered one possible solution to the cybersecurity risks: OpenAI’s own cyber services.
politico.com/news/2026/09/10…

@KimZetter 4h
OpenAI, which failed to secure its sandbox and prevent 700 of its agents from hacking Hugging Face, met with electric utilities (while its role in the Hugging Face incident was still undisclosed) to convince them to bring OpenAI into their networks to help secure the grid.

Wonder how this works with NVDA (Jensen Huang), that just bought Hugging Face for $12.93 billion?

130 You're hung up over "faith". You want to control the definition. As in, "its something else" because to your brain - if it's faith it has to be good.

No, I don't control the definition. God does. He sent us prophets, offered us miracles and sent his only begotten Son to redeem us.

Secular governments have a marvelous and unbeaten record in killing, torturing and starving people to death. That's because there is no such thing as secular because all people believe in something. The point of secularism to to categorically disqualify Christianity as a source of moral instruction, substituting anything else.

And that's how a mother can kill her children in cold blood and people justify it.

I have prayed and will continue to pray that you cast off the darkness that leads you to come here and insult people and pick fights. God bless you!

It is Senators... REPUBLICAN Senators, that have derailed the agenda.

By Kowtowing to the Senate Filibuster rule... a rule which can be rewritten with a simple Majority vote...

And even going back to the OLD Filibuster rule, where they had to speak on the floor to hold the filibuster... would have allowed the majority of the Conservative agenda to move forward... yet... they did not.

Hell, they would not even fire the Parliamentarian... who is CLEARLY Partisan.

Yes, we all remember when Trump 1.0 had the trifecta and Paul Ryan, who had his big cool Fiscal Blue Print ready to go torched it and tanked the majority.

But there has been a multi-year process of the GOPe being shown the door. Four years ago, the Michigan GOP was a mess because of the infighting and we got wrecked as a result (also cheating). But now it's the Dems who are at each other's throats. A fundamental realignment is taking place, and that bodes well for the future.

My eldest daughter bought into all the vegan stuff, and despite all it's "benefits" struggled to keep her weight up and maintain muscle tone, and one day her (then) boyfriend offered her a chicken wing and she was so hungry that she ate it and it was so delicious, so filling, she realized that meat actually serves a nutritional purpose.

Another win for meat!

I couldn’t figure out why every channel was showing the first of the Twin Towers on fire. I saw the second plane hit in real time. Still couldn’t figure out why some stupid horror flick was on every channel.

It was real.

I cried. And held my sons tight. And then threw up. What a horrible day. I watched the towers fall in real time. And hugged my boys and knew the world was forever changed.

218 72 When I was in college my first credit card (which I still have) was an AT&T Universal Card. It was credit card, but also a PHONE card, with a code on it and the phone number you called to get a discount on long distance and - most importantly - pay phones. So if you found yourself on the road and needing to call home after a breakdown, you got a discount!

What a world we lost.

Lewis and Floorwax, morning radio guys, mentioned a plane hitting one of the WTC towers. And, while they were wondering what kind of terrible accident might have happened, the second plane hit. Their reaction was basically "what the hell?!"

I think I was in shock for the rest of the day. I did not even go to work. I just went home.

Seeing no planes in the sky for days was very creepy.

227 We all have our stories of 9/11. And it all comes back, every detail, 25yrs later.

Never in a billion years did I think NYC would fall to the likes of Mandingo for a mayor.

I saw the second plane hit as I was on the phone with my sister-in-law out West. Their uncle lived in a penthouse two blocks from the WTC and I was telling her to turn her tv on when the second jet hit. I remember saying, "This is war" vs a small plane and called my husband, whose work was with defense contracts.

If you've seen the French documentary of 9/11, his cousin is the NYPD Fire Chief...who watched his brother go up the tower to his death. Those guys only made it to the 36th floor, I think, before the collapse.

He had many cousins in the NYFD and NYPD at the time from a huge Catholic family. Second generation NYFD and NYPD.

Four were missing but unknown condition for 48hrs and survived, thank God. All good men and proud of what they did. His grandfather was a NYPD who had a Rockaway Beach detail on horseback.

Our ED/Trauma Center in FL were notified to expect injured. They never came and it is nothing short of a miracle that 15k survived...as there were 17k people in both towers that day.

Agree. No fear. Ever. I was on one of the first planes days after flights resumed. Empty planes for a month. I was ready & not going down without fighting. No one on the empty flights were & we communicated with looks.

Once at 10k feet from landing, a nitwit's cell phone rang (during the cell phone bomb stuff). Hispanic guy. The flight attendant asked whose & we all pointed to him. The man across the aisle from me & my heavy travel purse had already mentally agreed to take him down. Not kidding. I flew twice a month for a decade then.

The ONLY time I was ever worried was a short flight to St. Louis on SW. Two profusely sweating islams were passing a tiny book between them vs the empty middle seat. Never looking up or at the flight attendant. Useless spring breakers behind me & my husband was trying to read their book. I never took my eyes off them. Had a red headband appeared they were going to be in a fight.

Federal Appeals Court Keeps Stay on Trump's Ballot-Checking Order While Supreme Court Dithers; Supreme Court Refuses to Allow Missouri to Use Its Redrawn Maps

I thought this foreign judge had already been overturned by the Supreme Court?

Did she once again ignore the Supreme Court and impose her stay despite the Supreme Court just overruling her last stay?

I'm not sure. But she did re-impose her stay, and a three-judge appeals court panel -- made up entirely of Biden appointees -- refused to lift the stay.

What they're doing is delaying this as long as possible so that they can then claim "It will cause chaos to implement this policy at this late date, there's just not enough time to implement it properly."

An appeals court on Thursday upheld a block on President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting, a decision that comes as the Supreme Court considers the same case and states have already started sending out ballots for the high-stakes midterm elections.
The three-judge panel refused to lift a preliminary injunction against the order issued last week by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani. It prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from implementing Trump's directive. The Postal Service has said it would not deliver ballots from states that did not pre-clear their envelope design with the federal government and submit a list of voters to an online portal, which has yet to be activated.
Election officials warn that it's impossible to comply with those terms, especially with the first mail ballots already being sent out in Alabama, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

The panel of three judges nominated by former President Joe Biden agreed with the plaintiffs that the president does not have the power to regulate states' election policy.
"Appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court erred in determining that the Final Rule is likely unlawful," they wrote, a reference to a rule published by the Postal Service to implement Trump's order.
The panel wrote that the Trump administration had done little to dispel arguments by many election officials that the changes would bring "chaos and widespread disenfranchisement."
...

The government also hasn't shown evidence of past fraud to justify the restrictions, the judges said.

LOL, sure.

The scumbags of the Supreme Court have once again given Democrats a hand and refused to allow the people of Missouri to change their congressional maps.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday declined for the second time to intervene in a dispute over redistricting maps in Missouri.
The high court ruling follows a federal judge in Missouri on Tuesday temporarily blocked the state from using its 2022 congressional districts in the midterms. That ruling came just moments after the Supreme Court let stand a decision from the Missouri Supreme Court ordering Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use the 2022 map.
An anti-gerrymandering group, People Not Politicians, on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court's order from Tuesday night, mandating Missouri use a GOP redistricting map.
The Supreme Court's decision Thursday appears to be the end of the push to use the 2025 redistricting map, according to the Associated Press.

Sorry for the thin post. I'm bushed.

[Insert dithering for several months. Then...)

"Oh, look a bunch of gays have already gotten married, now that we temporarily allowed it. As a result, gay marriage is a pre-existing right that they already have, so you're not allowed to take it away. Election nullified."

That's what the Missouri Supreme court ordered, yes.

Then Kavanaugh declined to intervene, but a lower court judge did and ordered that the new maps be used.

The Missouri Supreme court wanted a hearing to find the Election officials in contempt, and Missouri appealed to the judge to stop the hearing. That's about where my info ends.

There were many words and expletives but it mostly boiled down to the Peter principle. Good lawyers tend to remain lawyers.

66 From my limited reading of this case the SOS of missouri has been directed by a federal judge to use the new map for november eliminating the democrat seat even though the missouri supreme court ruled that he could not do that.

SCOTUS decided to not intervene in a different lawsuit because the current judgement rendered the previous decision by the MO SC null and void. In Navy terms this entire mess has been OBE (overtaken by events).

Plus I could be completely wrong as this case is so complex I doubt anyone really knows what has been decided or overturned at this point.

1/3rd of the people during the American Revolution were on breaking ties with King George, 1/3rd wanted to stay with England, and the rest didn't care either way.

Most people do not consider America their home, rather an Economic Opportunity Zone, and there is very little practical love for Freedom and Liberty.

There will be friction. There will be losses. We won't have utopia overnight. But we're on the right track. Ignore the chaff. Ignore the FUD. Watch actual people. If some gubmint scumbag or some psycho tiktok bitch is your gauge for the future prospects of America, you're just playing in to critical bullshit theory, exactly as intended.

119 Well Texas was a going republic that beat an entire mexican army before it joined the United States.

And most people lived under the God, Family, Nation, Neighborhood idea. They thought of their lives in terms of extending the blood lines and providing a future for their progeny. You can do this with a monoculture.

Other than a few religious cultural silos, that idea is absent in this cuntry, and possibly too in Texas.

On the plus side there were almost 200 Tejano's in the Texan Army in 1836. They were mexicans by birth but loyal to Texas. We could probably multiply that number by a couple of hundred.

Leftists Celebrate "Kirkaversary" and Call for Additional Murders

Absolute low-class scumbag demons.

A TREND seeming to be celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk has taken over the internet days before the first anniversary of his assassination on Thursday.
From "twerk for Kirk" to "what are we wearing for the first Kirkversary?" dozens of social media posts have been making jokes about marking the day the Turning Point USA founder was killed in front of hundreds of witnesses.
...
People have used the term across several platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and Reddit, with one post under the page No Stupid Questions reading, "What are you doing for the first Kirkaversary on 9/10?"
"I don't know if this is a thing for people that applaud that guy's killing or mourn it, but I think it sucks either way," one Reddit user wrote in the comments of the now-deleted post.
A self-described Portland, Oregon, tattoo artist shared on social media that they were offering "$50 neck tattoos" with "the exact placement of the kirkhole."
...

...
While many are sharing posts about it, with one even calling Wednesday "Kirkmas eve," others are expressing outrage.
"These demons are gearing up to celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination, calling it 'Kirkaversary,'" one person wrote on X. "Murder is basically a Leftist policy at this point."
Another X user said they feel it is overshadowing World Suicide Prevention Day, which is observed annually on September 10.
...
"If you're celebrating 'Kirkaversary' then you are part of the problem," another chimed in.
"I don't give two sh**s what side you're on, if you celebrate a man's death just because you disagree with him, then you need mental help. Because making fun of someone's death is not ok at all, it's just evil."

"Evan loves worf," a radical left-wing account on X, posted an AI-generated video of Kirk that mocked his assassination. Far-left media pundit Taylor Lorenz, although she did not use the term "Kirkaversary," shared a post from Kirk that he wrote in 2014 which said, "Did I just get shot by an AR-15? Feels like it."
...
One woman posted a video to TikTok of her dancing to her "playlist" that she said she made in preparation for her "kirkaversary party."
Another far-left woman posted a TikTok where she made a "Kirkaversary basket" that included "Charlie's blood," an "aborted fetus," as well as "toy guys."

A statue of Charlie Kirk was unveiled in Times Square.

Charlie Kirk statue bound for NY's Times Square as sculptor defies threats ahead of unveiling

'It's a monument definitely to Charlie, but it's even a monument to freedom of speech,' sculptor tells Fox News Digital

Artist Sergio Furnari reveals the inspiration behind his $100,000 Charlie Kirk statue ahead of its unveiling in New York City's Times Square on the anniversary of Kirk's assassination.
An Italian-born sculpture artist is set to unveil a six-figure tribute to Charlie Kirk in the heart of New York City this week -- a move that he hopes will spark dialogue rather than division.
Sergio Furnari was still in bed when his daughter came home with the news that Kirk had been assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.
"It took me a couple of seconds to connect," Furnari told Fox News Digital. "And then I kind of was, I would say, saddened by it."
Within weeks, Furnari -- who gained attention for his 40-foot sculpture of athlete Cristiano Ronaldo -- was fielding calls suggesting he create a tribute to Kirk.
"I was like, 'No way, I cannot get involved with politics,'" Furnari said. "But I [saw] how Erika [Kirk] got treated, including the parents of Charlie, and that's what I think became my catalyzer[sic]."

Although the statue was "unveiled" in Times Square, there's no way the communist terrorist Zohran Mamdani will allow it to actually stand in NYC. You can bring anything to a street and unveil it, that doesn't mean the government will let you keep it there.

As if this couldn't get worse, a taxpayer-supported "academic" not only celebrated "Kirkiversary," but said it would be "the funniest thing" for someone to also kill Nick Shirley today.

Will Rogers once observed that "Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else." No one ever personified Rogers' rule as much as University of California, Irvine instructor Matt Goldman, who cracked everyone up this week by joking about celebrating the anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by alluding to the possible assassination of independent journalist Nick Shirley.
Today is the anniversary of the murder of Kirk. In anticipation, Goldman posted a picture of Shirley with the line "Someone can do the funniest thing just before the Kirkiversary." It was a response to an Instagram post by the Harvard Republican Club promoting a speech by Shirley.
...
After the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO in 2024, Goldman allegedly posted a photo of the "Super Mario" character Luigi putting a gun to someone's head with the statement "Let's not pretend as if America isn't the greatest country on earth."
In another Instagram post, Goldman allegedly wrote, "Lmao abolish ICE. only good ICE agent is a dead one."
Goldman also teaches at Chapman University and specializes in "social justice rhetoric and community-centered composition."
It has become common in higher education and on campuses to laugh and even celebrate the murder of Kirk. Recently, socialist Hasan Piker led a sing-a-long with hundreds mocking his death.
Hate-spewing influencers like Jennifer Welch have even justified his assassination. Protesters regularly reenact his murder, and this week at Georgetown and the University of South Carolina students are celebrating "Kirkiversary" with "Kirk Look-a-Like" competitions.
...
The most unnerving aspect of this latest controversy is not that Goldman is making jokes about assassinating conservatives, but that many in academia find it uproariously funny.

From last year, shortly after a gay furry leftist murdered Kirk:

Nick Freitas
@NickJFreitas
I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people.
But we aren't "one people" are we?
The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was.
We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end.
I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect.
And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn't bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning.
I don't think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is.
It's not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It's a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose.
Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences.
And the other side murdered him.
Not because he was "extreme" or "inciting violence" or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives.
I don't want to "stand in solidarity" with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness...and that murdered Charlie Kirk.
Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie's death.
I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant.
I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago.
I don't know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won't be the same as what has happened in the past.
There will be thoughts and prayers...Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved.
But then there will be a reckoning.
My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite.
So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah...I will force myself to watch it...and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more.
Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over.
Ours is just beginning.

But instead all they do is clap for a fool who will spend decades in prison for the crime they're cheering. They're willing to cheer on those dumb enough to commit crimes on their behalf but they're not going to sacrifice anything themselves.

But .. this way, by making a literal anniversary out of it, these ghouls keep his murder by a rabid commie creep — and thus by extension, his life and work — in the public eye. There are a lot of LIV on our side who could benefit to be reminded.

Plus, it shows what a steaming pile of leper vermin these people are. Even center-left will be repulsed. Again: LIV.

Put it this way: does this kind of demonic behavior help or hurt their chances in the midterms? I think it hurts,

Rather like the SS blood group tattoos that the Allies used to identify SS assholes after capture. If you were SS captured by the Soviets or the French, you'd usually get a bullet in the face before they bothered to search your twitching body. The Brits and Americans would separate you and hold you for trial, then hang you about a year later. So the SS started shooting themselves in the armpit to obliterate the tattoo, which just meant that anyone with an armpit wound was assumed to be SS.

There is absolutely nothing odd about that. Look at so many movie tropes where some evil mastermind gets randos to commit crimes against the mastermind's enemies:

Manuchrian Candidate, Saw Series, Se7en, Arlington Road, Eagle Eye, Phone Booth, Spiral, Joker, Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Game, Black Mirror, The Following, The Dark Knight, Wanted, ...

The Left has been telling us for generations that their goal is have other people do the wet work while they sit back in marvel at their abilities to manipulate people at will.

Its a flex to manipulate people to engage in evil. Romans 1 ends with that observation.

I watched lots of Charlie videos, and the only time I ever saw him light into someone was when Christofascists got hateful towards gays. Charlie literally yelled "Get out!" at them. "You're not MAGA!" They were saying gays were hateful in the sight of God -- can't remember the exact crazy rants, but Charlie shut them down. Only time I saw him do that.

61 I judge the political temperature by the light of burning buildings.

In June, it was like a wall switch had been flipped to 'off'. The riots tapered off, the arson subsided, the confrontations with law enforcement were no longer newsworthy. The rent-a-mobs took a siesta. Today, Talarico repudiates every DSA position he so happily chirped during the primary campaign.

The Dems made a boo boo. Their Kirk snarling reveals a hatred that political common-sense cannot suppress. A voter staring into the abyss and who is appalled by the Marxist bloodlust will not vote for these people. What follows the rejection, God knows.

68 This is the situation.

Elections can't fix it.

That's whistling past the graveyard.

It's time to break this country up, let the different factions entrench, and the chips fall where they may.

Remaining in a political unit with these people and under the control of their leadership is suicidal.

I know this is an opinion few want to hear, and I'll get roasted for it like usual. Don't care. It's time for people to start seriously discussing and agitating for dissolution of the Union while there's still even a vanishingly small hope of pulling it off.

Regular democratic order isn't close to strong enough to contain the forces at play here.

They mean to slaughter us, they aren't hiding it anymore, and every single enforcement arm of our government supports them.

It's a very dangerous situation, it's real, and blathering about who wins the next legislative soap opera sweepstakes isn't going to go an inch toward resolving it.

108 On a hobby forum discussion board, where some discussion is allowed (getting rare) someone mentioned about the extremism in the news and internet.

"What are you watching?" I asked. Then he started bitching, "you've got to be kidding, blah blah blah Charlie Kirk"

"Oh really, what about Charlie Kirk?" So he started in with Charlie being a "racist". So I asked him, please provide direct quotes from Charlie that are racist. Not something somebody else said about him, or claimed he said something. Direct quotes from primary sources.

What you'll find with these folks is they are unable to process information critically. They are told Charlie Kirk (was) a racist. And that's all there is to it.

This guy promised to go dig some stuff up. Strangely enough, he couldn't find any. But he was gobsmacked I wasn't having any of his shit.

I went on to point out it was rhetoric like this, calling him a nazi or a racist, that gave the green light for someone to kill him. That's how this shit works. They dont' call you a nazi because they think you are a nazi, they call you a nazi so they can kill you.

127 Charlie Kirk was one of the most effective evangelists for conservatism in general, and Trump in particular, among a demographic that the Right had not quite found a way to effectively reach. Of the people most responsible for getting Trump reelected, Kirk would be up there with Musk and Trump himself as the Ones We Could Not Spare.

When he was killed last year, it would have been too churlish - even for the Left and the MSM - to celebrate taking that piece off the board right after his assassination. Give it a year, however, and they think it's all OK now.

Left-Wing UK Government Pushes Forward With Plan to House Over 1,250 "Migrants" Next to a Town With Only 350 Inhabitants

So the "migrants" will outnumber the actual citizens by 3 to 1.

And some are claiming the government is lying, and plans to settle over 3,500 "migrants" in this tiny town.

Wonderful.

Home Office minister Anna Turley has said the government is sticking with plans to accommodate asylum-seekers on former military bases despite protests from local residents.
She told the BBC the government's priority was to ensure asylum-seekers were looked after in a "secure" and "appropriate" place.
That included disused Ministry of Defence properties because they had on-site facilities and were "more contained," she added.
But campaigners in areas earmarked for asylum centres have said small communities with limited infrastructure would not be able to cope with large numbers of people.
There have been protests in Piddington, Oxfordshire, over plans to house more than 1,000 asylum seekers at a site near the village.

That's a lie. They intend to settle 3,150 "migrants" there.

Hope you enjoy gang rape, women of Piddington!

Mike Nixon, the vice-chairman of Piddington Parish Council, said there was a "huge amount of concern and worry" among residents and that an asylum centre would have a "dramatic effect" on the way they lived their lives.
The proposal has prompted Piddington to hold a symbolic independence referendum, asking its 400 or so residents if they want to remain part of the UK.
Nixon said: "We're still very frustrated. Andy Burnham did say that he's willing to listen, but we've had no formal contact. No consultation, nothing from the Home Office.
"We felt that the only way of making our views felt was to say 'well if we're not going to be listened to, what's the point of being a part of the country?'"

A representative from Reform says this talk of 1,250 "migrants" is another leftwing lie.

The real number planned, he says, is more than 3,500.

Which would give "migrants" a 10-to-1 advantage over the invaded natives.

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf has blasted "lying Labour" after it emerged the Home Office had carried out assessments for migrants at a former MoD site, which would have outnumbered villagers 10 to one. Publicly available documents show an Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) risk assessment stating that "the proposed scheme" relates to "accommodation for 3,510 service users" at the ex-military Bicester Site A storage facility.

The Home Office denies this, but admits... well, maybe there was a prior plan to settle 3,510 migrants next to this town of 350, but we assure you, that plan is no longer operative and we surely won't make it operative in the future.

The shocking figure discovered by worried villagers of neighbouring Piddington, in Oxfordshire, has been refuted by the Home Office, which said it was based on an "outdated estimate" and there was no plan to increase the official figure of 1,256 male migrants they were seeking to put in the base.

Uh-huh.

But you give me your word you won't c*** in my mouth, right?

All right, so long as you promised.

🇬🇧‼️🚨 BROTHEL TO SAVE A VILLAGE?
The UK government wants to put 1250 single male migrants into a facility that borders a small village with 350 people.
Piddington has a small population with 65% being women or children. So for every woman and kid, 9 single male migrants will be there.
Now everyone ask the question "what will the men do?" And they cynically demand a "brothel" so the villagers will be safe.
Kinda crazy that everyone knows it's a bad idea.
So the suggested safety concept is to give the asylum seekers prostitutes so they don't hurt the villagers? That by itself is a crazy place to be.
Also that means, Brits pay their taxes so refugees can be housed and then British taxes would pay for prostitutes for these men ... work hard folks, the prostitutes need their money.

That's a good point at the end -- these poor migrants won't be able to pay the government-provided prostitutes. The taxpayers will have to pay for the migrants' sexual gratification, to keep a lid on rapes.

Such a Tory solution. I think she means this as an attack on the settlement plans, but I'm not sure, because the Tories opened the floodgates for immigration after promising to reduce it.

Does no one grasp that by letting in tens and tens of thousands of single (military-aged) men -- many of whom are criminals fleeing their home countries due to rape and murder charges -- you're severely straining the social fabric and guaranteeing, and accepting, hundreds of additional rapes per year?

Agree. If a fire happens before the invaders arrived, the village has just volunteered to have them quartered in their own homes. If it happens after they move in, gee, what were the odds that the sprinklers wouldn't work and somehow the doors were locked and could only be opened from the outside, ya know?

Consequently competition was fierce and standards were very high. Mom was an RN, wore the uniform, hat, and pin and the rest of it. Nurses Training. They were well educated in the true sense and tough and competent, because the Doctors and Hospitals of the day demanded no less. . . .

69 The UK is far ahead of us down the Fabian socialist route.

Winston Churchill was fighting against the kind of socialist nonsense, that Trump is facing now, in his 1945 campaign, but the war was over and the people wanted socialism, so they picked Attlee and 'New Jerusalem'.

Winston came back and beat Attlee in 1951 and served as PM again until 1955.

But it's really been a constant lurch to the modern progressive left since the 90s and Tony Blair after Thatcher and John Major for most of the prior two decades.

The shocking figure discovered by worried villagers of neighbouring Piddington, in Oxfordshire, has been refuted by the Home Office, which said it was based on an "outdated estimate" and there was no plan to increase the official figure of 1,256 male migrants they were seeking to put in the base.

I've forgotten my military history. Maybe someone around here knows. What's the generally accepted ratio of troops required to execute a siege? Is it 3:1?
Posted by: Bilwis - Wizard of Clwyd at September 10, 2026 04:38 PM (r7+Q7)

If memory serves 3:1 was the US Army standard for a successful attack against troops in the defense (probably assuming minimal fortifications like foxholes and hasty trenches). No clue for full-on sieges. But with a siege, you really don't want to assault the walls if possible. You cut off avenues of escape and resupply/reinforcement and starve out the defenders. Or launch dead bodies over the walls with your handy-dandy Acme Bio-Warfare Trebuchet.

3:1 is the odds for a successful attack. The amount you need for a siege is more dependent on blocking all the ways in and out for the garrison.

There is a potential here for a catalyst to occur. A catalyst that spreads and gets very bloody.

In the interim, burglary, rape, vandalism, and massive littering will be the norm. Family dogs will disappear (not eaten, but killed). Fights internally, and externally. That says nothing for the overall flavor of the village being overrun, the inevitable Mosque that will go up after acquiring an historic church using Government funds.

I once had a VERY cynical story idea where Satan realized that the damned were being introduced to the horrors of Hell, and they'd shrug and say "This isn't as bad as I thought". So he'd send demons up to earth to observe the Humans for ideas.... and was appalled to find out that the things humans would do to each other were infinitely more evil than anything he and his demonic minions could come up with.

The besiegers can dig in themselves and can make themselves relatively safe from a sortie by the garrison. If there are relieving armies in the area then you need a covering force to watch for an attempt by the outside force to break the seige.

One of Napoleon's campaigns in Italy had a phase where he was besieging Mantua and he drove off one relief army, herded another one into the fortress and re-sieged them both.

166 Across the United States, including Pennsylvania, motels and hotels have become central to the intersection of the affordable housing crisis & 'immigration.'

Self-Funded "Hidden Homelessness" (Out of Pocket)
For undocumented individuals who are unhoused, paying cash for a low-cost motel room is a common, desperate survival strategy. They cannot pass standard background checks, do not qualify for federal rental assistance, and often lack a Social Security number. Budget motels often accept cash and do not run rigorous credit or background checks, making them a temporary refuge.

Federal & Municipal Programs: When you hear about unhoused or recently arrived migrants staying in hotels and motels on the news, it is almost always regarding government-funded emergency shelter programs.

Large "sanctuary" hubs have utilized millions in federal (FEMA) and municipal funds to contract entire hotels to shelter influxes of unhoused migrant families.
---
For example, hotels, motels near the airport that have been packed with unhoused immigrants (and/or parolees) at least since C19.

They can walk through the local boroughs and towns, have their kids in local schools, etc.

I like that movie. I would give it two stars out of a four-star system: it's competently assembled as a theatrical production, A/V product, and narrative, and that was the limit of its apparent ambition. It's a flick, not art, and not pretending otherwise.

Well, over time, without even rewatching it, my appreciation has grown. Maybe it should be 2.5 stars. It smoothly gives some instruction on the basics of the American criminal justice system. The very best part is the well-integrated argument for why you have a right to say nothing to the police without a lawyer present, and why you should avail yourself of that right, *especially* if you have done nothing wrong.

That is a difficulty thing to communicate, and now you can just say, "Oh, just watch My Cousin Vinny and see if you still feel the same way about it." And it's not a bad rec anyway.

Grounded in the Stars | Times Square Arts
29 April – 14 June, 2025
NYC, USA

With Grounded in the Stars, Price reimagines both the monument and monumentality in Times Square, one of the world’s most iconic public spaces. A fictionalised character constructed from images, observations, and open calls spanning between Los Angeles and London, the young woman depicted in Grounded in the Stars carries familiar qualities, from her stance and countenance to her everyday clothing. Through scale, materiality, and posture, Grounded in the Stars disrupts traditional ideas around what defines a triumphant figure and challenges who should be rendered immortal through monumentalisation. In a culture that increasingly encourages a faster pace, Grounded in the Stars is an introspective meditation on humanity. Price’s work offers viewers a unique opportunity to experience Times Square in a new light...

AI Overview

There are an estimated 1.5 to 3 million military-age undocumented men living in the United States, based on general demographic breakdowns of the overall unauthorized population.
Population Estimates, Total Undocumented Population: Estimates place the total unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S. roughly between 11 and 14 million people.
Demographic studies show that undocumented populations skew heavily toward working-age adults, with men aged 18 to 39 making up roughly 35% of the total undocumented population. Broadening the definition of "military age" to ages 18 to 45 yields an estimated range of 1.5 million to 3 million men.

Jimmy Kimmel Runs Stephen Colbert's Partisan Op Playbook, Claiming DRUMPF!!! Is Censoring Him By Not Allowing Him to Broadcast an Ass-Eating Propaganda Interview with James Talarico

Before getting to that: Trump had some fun with the totally normal moderate straight Christian man James Talarico.

Talarico has campaigned to reduce/end meat consumption. In line with all Democrats who now say "woke 1 was crazyyyy" and disavow their past comments as just some internet "cringe," Talarico now says he loves meat and photographs himself chomping on a turkey drumstick.

An unearthed 2022 clip of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico urging voters to scale back "meat consumption" went viral on Tuesday with many lampooning the rising Democratic star.
Talarico, who has already taken heat for controversial 2020 tweets referring to the "virus of racism" and how White people are guilty of spreading it, was a hot topic on social media again when a GOP communications strategist posted old footage of the masked Senate hopeful criticizing meat consumption in the state famous for its barbecue.
"We have heard, I think heard more and more, issues of animal welfare. I think, not just because it's the right thing to do, and it's the moral thing to do, but also... necessary to fight climate change. It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption, and that we try to respect animals," Talarico said during a fundraiser for laws against animal abuse.
"I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign," Talarico continued. "We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."
...

"Talarico wants to represent Texas but is anti-meat, anti-gun, anti-oil, thinks white people are inherently racist, that God is 'non-binary,' and that the Bible justifies abortion," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, responded.
"

He was wearing a covid mask while declaring that the need to reduce meat consumption was "existential" to fight "climate change."

Trump says Talarico called his campaign to end meat consumption "Beat Meat." I can't find evidence of that, but I'll allow it for the joke:

Trump: "He wants to beat meat? But it was bad for his image, so he started eating meat. It's getting worse. I�m getting myself in trouble." pic.twitter.com/V3vjNtBDtY

Which brings us to fat unfunny clown Jimmy Kimmel.

He's playing the same game Stephen Colbert did. Colbert, if you remember, recorded an interview with Talarico just before the Democrat primary. It's federal law that if a network which uses federally-granted airwaves promotes a candidate within 30 days of a primary election or 60 days before a general election, the network must provide equal time to his opponents.

At that time, the opponent was Jasmine Ratchet, and the White Racist Stephen Colbert didn't want to give her equal time -- because he supported his fellow Gay White Man. So they just aired the interview on YouTube, where equal time reules don't apply.

And then Colbert and Talarico ran an op pretending that the FCC forced them to do this because Talarico was so dangerous (to men's buttholes).

Well, the FCC didn't force this. You could have given equal time to Jasmine Ratchet, but you didn't want to do that, because you were acting as a partisan attempting to boost Talarico over Ratchet.

Which brings us now to Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel also recorded an interview with the much-penetrated Talarico, and is running the exact same op of claiming that that DRUMPF!!! is censoring him fascistly.

Equal time rules are pretty basic, even @jimmykimmel can understand them: If you have a candidate on 30 days before a primary and 60 before the general, their opponents can demand equal time on that show on the public airwaves. Jimmy is lying, trying to build up excitement for� https://t.co/cpdj35yfdz

No, there is no way. This will likely be a Cruz beating Beto in 2018 contest. Way closer than it should be, but not a nail-biter. Why was that one so close? For the same reason this one is. The GOPe hated Cruz, and they hate Paxton even more because he took one of theirs out.

Therefore, the GOPe is not donating money to Paxton, and many of them will even shadow fund Talarico via PACs in addition to voting for Six Gender Jimmy. They would rather a Marxist take the seat rather than a real conservative in order to show us a lesson.

See also: Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia's 2013 Governor race, which was much closer than polls indicated. In that one, too, the GOPe sat out because they hated the conservative who actually won the primary more than Terry McAuliffe, Hillary's bag man.

A LOT of alleged GOP campaign have gotten rich doing a poor job getting their person elected. How much money did Jeb spend in 2016? Yeah, someone got rich losing bigtime. Which is why Trump used his own people, like Kushner, instead of the greedy, unsuccessful GOP consultant class.

_________________________

Since 2015, the Left stopped with the subterfuge. Even before Trump's appearance certain high profile Leftists were gaining ground (Bernie Sanders). It used to be an open secret that the Left would swing towards the middle during elections with no intention of following through. That deceitful approach has been discarded in favor of open promotion of radicalism.

Add to that the voting demographics now include brainwashed college graduates who have been conditioned through Elementary school all the way up through college. The figured they had enough of a mainstream to discard the charade.

As usual, I think the Left overestimates their acumen. There have been some very blue state and city wins (Mamdani in NY, Morales in RI). But, I think Talarico and the 9/11 cheerleader in Michigan get crushed come November. The fake polls are propping both of them up...which is the purpose of polls these days.

🚨 attempted beheading 🚨

Let’s check in on Round Rock, Texas (near Austin), where 26-year-old sub-Saharan African Benedict Ogbodiegwu Jr. just allegedly murdered a White man, 62-year-old Andrew James Wimsatt.

Andrew liked to sit at the park and take photos that he shared on his IG. Around 11am, Wimsatt was sitting on a park bench when Ogbodiegwu began attacking him with a knife. Ogbodiegwu wrapped his left arm around Wimsatt and started viciously stabbing him. Wimsatt tried to push him off but failed.

Ogbodiegwu continued stabbing Wimsatt several times before Wimsatt fell to the ground. Ogbodiegwu then got on top of the victim and started visibly sawing Wimsatt’s neck with the knife before running away toward the park’s pool area.

In my lowly opinion, for a good reason. Government does not make money, it only redistributes, and thusly picks winner and losers.

One of the Male Cuck Jurors Who Was Bullied Into Voting for Not Guilty by the Alpha Karens Speaks and He's as Weak as You Were Guessing

Catching up with the AWFUL Karens who insisted the "rogue" male juror obey them when they offered their non-expert "expert" opinions as nurses -- the more video I see, the worse it gets.

You probably know that jurors cannot be "experts." Jurors cannot research cases and bring their own "facts" and "evidence," often found on the internet, into the jury room. Jurors have been kicked off of cases for this arrogant step.

Jurors can also not appoint themselves "experts" and demand other jurors obey their fake expert opinions. If you saw My Cousin Vinny, you'll remember that Mona Lisa Vitti had to be declared by the judge to be an expert before she offered her expertise, and opposing counsel was entitled to voir dire her and attempt to impute her expertise.

And even when an expert is accepted by the court as an expert -- no juries are required to actually believe the expert. Experts offer opinion. Typical witnesses offer "fact" testimony, but even the "facts" they claim can be ignored by the jury if the jury thinks they're lying.

At any rate, these "expert nurses" were in contempt of court when they claimed that their expert opinions should not only be included as evidence, but believed without question as evidence.

And they also dismiss the doctors actually certified by the court as experts. Now, they're allowed to not believe an expert witness, but it's breathtaking that they simultaneously dismiss the doctors certified by the court as experts while illegally presenting their own Karen-Certified Nurse Experts and claiming the lone male holdout was a "rogue" juror for not taking this fake expert witness to be dispositive.

Omg. Lindsay Clancy juror spills that female nurses on the jury used their titles & experience, outside of the material evidence presented, to try and coerce the holdout into a not guilty verdict by reason of insanity.

What a sham. That man is a hero. pic.twitter.com/6Y40tmXmTO
— johnny maga (@johnnymaga) September 8, 2026

Wendy Peffercorn
@SandLot84
So let's break this down. These insufferable idiots sent a note to the judge complaining that the holdout juror wasn't following instructions (ie he wouldn't agree with them), while they ignored expert witness testimony and instead acted as expert witnesses themselves during deliberations. That is in and of itself enough to declare a mistrial.
More and more this looks like a runaway jury with a lone sane hero they labeled "rogue".
No more women on juries.

One of the female jurors was a vocal online supporter of Karen Read. Other female jurors declared they were hostile to the prosecution from the opening arguments -- for not saying nice things about the child killer -- which proves they were hostile to the prosecution before the opening arguments and lied when they were asked if they had any bias that would prevent them from rendering an impartial judgment in the case. They lied to get on the jury so they could acquit their murderess hero.

And if I'm picking on the women too much -- okay, let me pick on one of the two cucks, who accepted the "expert" testimony of the non-expert Juror Nurses but who claimed that the "rogue" juror was out of line in attempting to demonstrate the horror of what Clancy had done by wrapping the exercise bands around a bottle of water.

A male juror in the mistrial of Lindsay Clancy said the lone holdout on the 12-person panel wrapped one of the exercise bands the mom used to kill her children around a water bottle to mimic their strangulation in the deliberation room.
Juror number 10 Nick Dargie said the holdout had every right to his opinion but that the reenactment using the same exercise bands left the room speechless.
"I was so shocked. We're not here to play detective -- it's not a game of Clue. This is serious," Dargie, 25, the fifth juror to come forward in the macabre case out of Duxbury, Mass., told ABC's "GMA" in an interview that aired Thursday morning.

"I asked him why are you doing that? That's a band that was used to strangle a child. That's disgusting."
He also accused the still-unnamed holdout, who hung the jury in an 11-1 deadlock leading to the mistrial, of seeming disengaged during the deliberations, saying he would frequently be scrolling his phone while people were talking to him.
When pressed to explain his refusal to budge, Dargie said he made no effort to explain his reasoning.
"There wasn't a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was," the juror said.

He tried to show this Soyboy Beta Cuck the viciousness of the murders that the Expert Nurses were so airily dismissing but seeing that made him cry. So he did attempt to show his thinking. But this cuck's pussy got hurt and he ignored it.

Showing the Soyboy Beta Cuck the steps taken to murder a child was "disgusting."

The actual murders of three children -- not disgusting.

The murder didn't hurt his feelings. He didn't see that.
The recreation hurt his feelings. He saw that.
There's nothing more important than an individual's feelings.

Re what we've seen of the Clancy jurors:
VERY early in my trial career, prosecutors with dozens of trial under their belts gave me some very basic tips on picking a jury. This is very critical in federal court because most federal judges don't give attorneys much time in juror "voir dire." So there were some rules of thumb you tried to live by when evaluating the panel and your options as a prosecutor.
1. No teachers. They spend their days telling children and adolescents what to do, and they after often contrarian in order to show adults how smart they are. They hang up juries more than any other "type."
2. No healthcare workers who are not MDs. Healthcare workers with the most contact with patients are empathetic by nature -- that's why they entered the field -- and are trained to take all info they are given by patients seriously.
Putting it in a very crass fashion, a prosecutor does not want 12 jurors -- you want 3 jurors and 9 sheep. If you convince the 3 jurors they will bring the sheep along in the end.
For a foreperson I was always looking for a blue collar manager -- usually a man. The arch type was someone who could give instruction in a non-condescending manner that didn't seem like overt manipulation.
I didn't like hard science professionals either -- like engineers -- they tend to be too linear in their thinking and resist being convinced by inferential evidence.
The Clancy jurors we have heard from violated my rules. It's hard to be too critical of the prosecutors, however, without knowing who they used their challenges to keep off.
For all we know they were worse.

Nurses are some of the most liberal people out there, next to teachers. I was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago for Kidney Stones and every nurse was wearing a button for some liberal cause/rainbow/fist garbage. Not most. All of them.

9 One of the female jurors was a vocal online supporter of Karen Read. Other female jurors declared they were hostile to the prosecution from the opening arguments -- for not saying nice things about the child killer -- which proves they were hostile to the prosecution before the opening arguments and lied when they were asked if they had any bias that would prevent them from rendering an impartial judgment in the case. They lied to get on the jury so they could acquit their murderess hero.

26 Magical thinking.

There is no processing of information, there's no fixed foundation of logical processes that take in information and process it regularly and predictably.

There is a fixed and immutable output. Whatever inputs are presented, the machinery writhes and wriggles and reconfigures until that fixed endpoint of the determined output is matched.

It's as if their physical meat brains are literally functioning like an LLM going through perpetual training sets and dutifully altering all its nodes to give the correct results.

A couple of my fellow jurors wanted to play around like they were on some TV drama. Luckily our foreman(who happened to be an attorney) said cut the crap, the yute is guilty as sin and that's that. We were out of the jury room with a guilty verdict in no time. Sometimes common sense does win out.

36 yeah - picking the jury is the real major issue. Some times you get a bad panel. But you do try to avoid certain types, while the other side is trying to put those types on the panel.

Its the most important part of a trial, and it tends to be a bit of a crap shoot. You never know for sure. You make educated guesses. You try to check social media if you can. That's pretty much it.

I kept a nurse on once. I broke my own rule. It worked out okay, because she had been a defendant and had been through the process of being sued. I think the other side left her on because they were convinced I would kick her off and they used their strikes on other jurors....

39 Lotsa reports on how Juror Number Hero wasn't receptive to these idiots.

My very confident take on what really happened is Juror Number Hero saw from the very jump -- probably as soon as the jury was picked, before the trial even started -- that this jury was a lost cause of bitter hormonal Karens and incel cucklets.

Hero apparently made some effort to make his point with the exercise bands, if the incel cucklet's story is true.

But surely during deliberations Hero realized there was no force on earth that would change the minds of the bitter hormonal Karens and incel cucklets.

So Hero basically then just said "Fuck you, I'm not engaging you lunatics, and I'm not changing my vote. Suck my dick."

62 I was on a jury years ago on a rape case. We convicted the defendant of rape. But given the circumstances I was sure beyond a reasonable doubt the woman was a prostitute and the guy and the woman got caught fucking in an apartment parking lot. She ran off and when the police found her down the she accused the guy of rape.

The whole trial was a stupid shitshow with the defendant bringing in "witnesses" from the jail cell to vouch for him and the woman unable to explain why she was walking down the street in the bad part of town at 3am going from a party at a friends house to another apartment five miles away across several highways.

I figured the guy was on probation or something and wasn't going to cop to soliciting a prostitute and decided to take his chances with a jury. Stupid him.

This is the problem with 12 Angry Men, that people keep bringing up.

As I recall, Fonda went and bought an identical knife to the one used in the murder in order to show it was not uncommon. This is a serious breech and should have resulted in a mistrial.

I really hated the movie just for that one fact.

Mona Lisa Vito: It's a bullshit question, it's impossible to answer.

Jim Trotter III: Impossible because you don't know the answer!

Mona Lisa Vito: Nobody could answer that question!

Jim Trotter III: Your Honor, I move to disqualify Ms. Vito as a "expert witness"!

Judge Chamberlain Haller: Can you answer the question?

Mona Lisa Vito: No, it is a trick question!

Judge Chamberlain Haller: Why is it a trick question?

Vinny Gambini: [to Bill] Watch this.

Mona Lisa Vito: 'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.

I don't get the "wouldn't engage" criticism.

If the juror had made up his mind as to guilt (in this case),

why does he need to politely listen to impolite haranguing?

Esp as it would be the same arguments repeated just louder and angrier.

I suppose he could've said something like, "I find your argument unpersuasive."

But, you know, that would've been considered "not engaging" too.

93 Nurses should have never been on that jury. The entire case was jury tampering; threats & intimidation to the lone man; the coven of Karens knowing BEFORE the trial how they would vote.

In voir dire professions are asked. People are thrown out if they match the defendant in a normal trial. The prosecution allowed this to happen! Were they part of this??? Unreal. Worse daily!

I am a RN BSN, traditional training. Not an online degree. Fine for RN's going for BSN or MSN, but I disagree that they get the same experience or education as I did as a classmate of Florence Nightingale for an all online RN.

Since covid I cringe a lot about nurses. I sort of swept the tic tok dancing during covid as a one off, a fake, a whatever it is crazy times. Now, post Murderess Clancy, not as sure.

A labor and delivery RN strangled her own 3 babies in a premeditated murder. One by one. Not a whoopsie! I killed my kid and what is wrong with me!?! calls 911!

The one thing I wonder about is revenge to hurt her husband.Not postpartum psychosis when the baby is 8mo old. Premeditated, planned, researched how to kill.

118 It isn't as subtle as one would think. At one time, a Teacher or Nurse was practically the extent of female employment opportunities. Telephone operator, or maybe airline Stewardess.

Consequently competition was fierce and standards were very high. Mom was an RN, wore the uniform, hat, and pin and the rest of it. Nurses Training. They were well educated in the true sense and tough and competent, because the Doctors and Hospitals of the day demanded no less.

Once the job markets opened up, there was no incentive to be a Teacher, where more lucrative financial opportunities lay. So in recent decades the quality of the individual who is drawn to that field has cratered. There is a feedback loop mechanism going on here as well.

Stupid teachers produce, on average, less than capable students. They might go on to a Teaching profession themselves, as they can't do anything else.

I would have voted guilty more than once for Clancy as a RN who worked in NICU.

It's not unusual for ADAs do most of the actual cases and trials. The top DA is more of a manager and decision-maker.

It's also odd that this case sat around for over three and a half years before the trial. It's a factually simple case where the defendant admitted she killed the victims. By contrast, Karmelo was tried about a year after he murdered AM.

Something happened to the LC case along the way. Not sure what, but so many odd occurrences and red flags.

136 A couple of weeks ago Steve Sailer had reason to revisit the OJ murders (specifically the "chase") and remarked in passing that it was his opinion that Marcia Clark was of the opinion that female solidarity would lead a conviction, and happily agreed with OJ's defense to seat a jury of mostly black females.

I have to wonder if this DA was affected a similar misjudgement, possibly thinking mothers would recoil from supporting a defendant who killed her own children, and nurses would be better at understanding the toxicology evidence.

140 Random thought -

There has always been psychopathic tendencies in a lot of people, but the "uptight" and "oppressive" cultural norms held people in place. They were in fixed roles. Women tend to police this (in religion and elsewhere) as they see it as showing their value to the community.

When we "let it all hang out" we also let all the psychopaths hang out.

I base this on my own experience -- I see that my mother was not a very good person at all, but she played the role as it was important to her to *appear* good.

Yea, but unless MA is unlike every other state I'm aware of, the judge has the option to dismiss jurors for bias and other obvious defects.

I've been dismissed from several jury pools by the judge, before the prosecution or defense even started making strikes or even asking questions.

I doubt it counts against the prosecution's strikes if a juror says during voir dire that she won't ever convict no matter what.

213 Yea, but unless MA is unlike every other state I'm aware of, the judge has the option to dismiss jurors for bias and other obvious defects.

I've been dismissed from several jury pools by the judge, before the prosecution or defense even started making strikes or even asking questions.

I doubt it counts against the prosecution's strikes if a juror says during voir dire that she won't ever convict no matter what.
Posted by: Elric The Blade
=====
Fair number of states require a motion for the judge to strike a juror for cause (bias or incapacity to serve-felon, illegal, mental illness, etc.). Judge cannot do it de novo without a motion. Dunno about Mass. Could look it up but too lazy.

But at least in the jurisdictions I am most familiar with in the South, judges require a motion from either side to start the ball rolling right after questioning the juror. And often the judge then gets involved in asking questions as well.

If the judge denies the motion, only then do lawyers use a strike.

241 Brave AI:

In 1800, the federal government did not mandate a specific voting age or universal requirements, leaving these qualifications to individual states. The standard baseline in most states was 21 years of age for white male property owners who were often required to be Protestant.
Key characteristics of voting requirements at that time included:
Age: 21 was the universally accepted age of legal majority for voting, derived from British common law.
Gender and Race: Voting was largely restricted to white men; a small minority of states allowed free Black men and some states permitted unmarried or widowed property-owning women to vote.
Property and Tax: Most states required voters to own a certain amount of land or personal property, or to pay a specific amount in taxes, based on the belief that voters needed a "stake in society."
Religion: Several states imposed religious tests, requiring voters to be Protestant, though these barriers were gradually being removed (the last religious prerequisite was eliminated by 1810).

Social media amplifies the lunatics and as the trial became The Biggest Story in America, the story became less about the trial than people's reactions to the trial. So of course the most outrageous opinions were amplified.

I doubt the Lyndsay Lunatics were more than a small fraction of women overall. It was some deranged, look-at-me attention whores on social media, a gaggle of fat bored white ladies at the trial, and lotsa almost-certainly-fake social media stories about friends of friends.

Dick's contrivances get really apparent the more SVU episodes you watch, like defendants losing it on the stand right when they're about to win and the cultural nonsenses, like when SVU detectives have to join forces with state troopers from Kansas (who are just right then dealing with a school shooting).

Well almost but not quite. There are statutory reasons to strike a prospective juror. THe list varies but the most common one is where the prospective juror is an employee of the defendant - thus their income is dependent potentially on that defendant's solvency. So it is often the case that the people fill out a questionairre indicating their employement and they can be steered away from conflicts. But people change jobs. In my AOO the biggest employers are Health care entities that I defend. It takes a while sometimes to pick a jury because the prospetice jurors, or spouses work for the defendant. The judge just kicks them off after the Judge's initial voir dire - may inform you at sidebar that she/he is doing it and if you want to bitch about it has the reporter come over. There are other statutory reasons.

265 Dick's contrivances get really apparent the more SVU episodes you watch, like defendants losing it on the stand right when they're about to win and the cultural nonsenses, like when SVU detectives have to join forces with state troopers from Kansas (who are just right then dealing with a school shooting). All that was charming in it's own bad right, but then the actress who plays Olivia Benson became an executive producer and then SVU became "The Liv Show". Liv then adopted a kid, who obviously became gay (and bi I think) as the show progressed.

I am glad I went the academic route personally as my uncle was a noted trial attorney up to and including death penalty cases.

One of his cases made Dateline where they got off the defendant by actually solving the case as much as they could do so. His last years, he became a Circuit Court judge and liked it much better as less pressure. Helluva guy.

My girlfriend in Italy was from Indiana, and her father was a federal magistrate court judge.

Apparently he had a really bad meeting with Alberto Gonzalez when they were looking for people to be promoted to district courts through appointments under W. Gonzalez was looking for people who would support the president through the courts, which is just all bad, I guess.

271 One thing I notice in all this hideousness news today, including the Murderess Clancy trial: God is never mentioned.

Her husband argued with the shrink who said she might be bipolar, as he could not accept that she had a HUGE problem with her ongoing depression. He has a role in this. Maybe others she knew who could not accept that she is insane and probably manipulated them. Dunno.

Doesn't matter as those babies are dead and she has 3 millstones around her neck and had jolly well better repent.

Not once is God mentioned in her backstory or by anyone of the cold blooded murder of three innocent children.

Not once is God mentioned with pro-abortionists. Or, in MA where it is ok to kill babies at term.

I am thankful I do not live in a blue state.

328 After she sent her husband to find, among other items, otc med. that she knew was not available in their routine drugstore, she took her daughter (4 days a week preschool) down to the exercise side of the basement and strangled her. She got her 3 yr old son (also in preschool though less days) and took him down to the basement and strangled him in her husband's office. (She may have placed that child in a closet.) She then got the 8 month old boy and strangled him next to his sister. Reportedly, she went upstairs to the kitchen and got the knife and poked and/or slashed around. She then returned to the basement and stood near the baby where her blood was pooled on the carpet.
She heard the garage door. She ran upstairs through the kitchen to the steps leading upstairs and locked the bedroom door from inside. She went out the back window. (There were others on the side of the room. However, the back placed her directly opposite of the front of the house's garage entry.)

Remember the baby was in the hospital for several hours as it was being established whether he was truly dead/brain dead. And could have easily killed herself before or after killing the children.

330 When mothers are prosecuted for killing or severely abusing their children, the legal system divides them into 2 distinct tracks based on their medical evidence and psychological diagnosis.

Track 1, Psychotic Break. Typically found not guilty by reason of insanity, etc. & committed to a high security psychiatric hospital. Commitment is usually indefinite.
Track 2 - Maltreatment/Abuse. Convicted of 1st degree murder or felony child abuse & then sent directly to a standard max security state prison.

In MA, a 1st degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison, period.

The connection between the criminal defense & the ongoing financial and civil litigation is one of the most polarizing aspects of this case. The civil suits alleged a catastrophic failure by medical providers to properly diagnose and monitor her, and prescriptions she was given induced her manic psychosis. A criminal conviction of intentional murder severely damages or dismantled the civil lawsuits.

Medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuits have been filed targeting specific healthcare systems, hospital, and medical providers who treated Lindsay Clancy.

331 months leading up to the murders: McLean Hospital, Women & Infant Hospital of Rhode Island; South Shore Health Systems, Inc.; Aster Mental Health, Inc.; Dr. Jennifer Tufts, M.D.; Rebecca Jollotta, CNP; Dr. Alia Goodheart, M.D. & Dr. Zobeida Diaz, M.D.

The husband's suit was filed as the personal rep. of the children's estates. (His wife is legally disqualified from inheriting from the children.) The wife's & mother's suit is a personal injury claim. Any payout from this suit is designated to fund her lifetime disability, medical care, and specialized housing.

Lindsay's legal team are trying to secure a multi-million dollar private payout so that her private estate, a medical trust, would handle her medical expenses rather than not as good, perhaps or definitely, state-funded care.

If she wins as insane, the civil suits are strong. If she loses, they could be kaput, along with standard prison and treatment.

So she wants to die, huh?

333 I am going to completely change the subject now , but you can go back to the gender wars after I leave 😉

I had to bring my kitten to the vet today. Kindly spouse drove there in his break between bus runs .Kitten is about four months old, and has only been there once before. He cries the entire way in his carrier and it sounds pathetic . I imagine him saying "Nooooooooo" in cat talk. I don't think he's too jazzed by being in a car either and he knaws on the door of the carrier. He was a perfect gentleman while there though He wasn't in pain just needed a shot. The vet and the tech liked him as well

Do puppies go to the vet visit howling or it
depends on the dogs? I think I am more tired out than if I had gone to the Dr.

336 Don't think of unmarried women's voting patterns as completely irrational because then you come away with no answers.

Again look at it through the lens of Uncle Sugar giving them bennies, money, jobs, and meaning.

All the things they would have gotten if they got married and had kids (well, not all of them right Mrs Clancy)

So yes the argument we should persuade women that married life and motherhood is a better choice then being a Karen married to Uncle Sugar. And that feeds into things that a smart conservative president would try to do...like make it financially more viable for a married woman to stay home with kids...

Here’s a palette cleanser for you. Last October I was in the recovery room after hernia surgery and had the nicest young RN (and not a foreigner!). It was a month after Charlie Kirk was murdered. I noticed she was wearing a cross necklace. You know how when you’re talking to someone and they’ll say something where maybe one word indicates they’re conservative? I can’t remember what she had said, but I then said something slightly conservative. We ended up talking about CK, Trump, left wing loons etc. She admitted how she keeps her views to herself at the hospital. She’s an anomaly but they’re there.

I believe the majority of progressive people are women, but its not an overwhelming majority of all women. Although I guess I have to limit my comments to the US. Because worldwide I think the progressive narrative is winning over both sexes.

Dunno. Active versus passive makes a difference. I have no interest in commenting on X despite having an account. Ditto for a lot of other places nowadays. I think social media is more likely to reinforce opinions and deepen them by affirmation than it is to lead them astray in the first place.

Again, mentally and emotionally stronger people who know what they believe and why they believe it are less influenced by it than others. Maintaining frame makes a helluva lot of difference and thus those people are more willing to be the odd objector to the consensus if it matters to them personally.

I do think that social media is more successful at leading women into a group think narrative than it is men. I think it is the "social" aspect of the app. Women just have a greater need to be part of a group although men are not immune.

I have had to deprogram my very intelligent conservative wife, from stupid shit she has seen on the internet and bought hook line and sinker. And no she didn't appreciate it at the time. I would not have believed she could succumb, but she did. Fortunately, taking ego out of the equation enabled the logic to kick back in to drive and she is more cautious about jumping on board a meme train.

Yeah, that's the whole point behind all of this. Ever notice that the left never puts up a victim who is actually a victim? Like some guy who actually got beaten by the cops for no reason? It's always someone 1) clearly guilty and b) a member of a "victim" class. The whole point is to gin up division based on the class rather than the facts of the case.

Women aren't voting for the Dems enough. Midterms are coming up. Publicize a case like this, pump up the crazies on TikTok, then leverage the backlash to convince women the evil right wants to take their rights away.

German Chancellor Merz: Sending Aliens Back to Their Home Country Would be "Ethnic Cleansing"

Last year, Merz signed a supposedly hardline bill against further illegal immigration.

He didn't mean a word of it, of course. He is attempting to create a paper trail showing he accepts the popular judgment on unending mass migration from the third world, while not taking any action to actually stop it.

As AfD grows in support, he will attempt further fake demonstrations of his commitment to enforce the border.

Germans must not believe him when he inevitably lies. His true feelings are that deporting any "asylum" seekers or illegal aliens is "ethnic cleansing."

Obviously he is never, ever going to do something he views as being on par with shipping the Jews to Dachau.

But he will claim he's willing to do this, as his party, and all the rest of the corrupt Regime parties, lose further support.

Germany's sovereigntist, anti-mass-migration Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party pulled off a historic result in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt at the weekend, pushing the country's longstanding default party of government the Christian Democrats (CDU) into a distant second and leaving all other parties as also-rans. The result has sent shock waves through German politics and brought the leadership of national Chancellor Friedrich Merz into question, which seems to have sent the otherwise mild-mannered lawyer into a tailspin of despair, in which he has made increasingly outlandish threats and comments against the AfD, painting them as an outright threat to the German nation.
On Wednesday, Merz responded to one of the flagship policies of the AfD -- that migrants who are in Germany illegally should actually be made to leave, rather than endlessly tolerated -- to call it ethnic cleansing. The charge has obvious historic connotations in Germany and caused something of a firestorm. Merz said on Wednesday that the party's "remigration" policy is "nothing other than ethnic cleansing based on skin color and origin".

Well, yes, demanding that foreign illegal aliens return to their actual countries, while actual Germans are allowed to remain in Germany, is a remigration policy based on "origin." To declare this some kind of racist, Nazi-esque measure is to announce that, in the mind of the Regime, there is simply no difference whatsoever, legally, between real citizens and foreign migrants.

He's announcing that the German government can make no distinctions between Germans and foreign interlopers.

Because it is racist for a country to "discriminate" in favor of its own citizens.

Merz further claimed that if deportations took place, German society would simply collapse. Speaking directly to AfD members in the German Parliament, he went on to say: "You are part of the problem we have in Germany -- and we will resist that with everything at our disposal".

And he does mean everything, including simply banning this party that represents popular opinion and which is therefore anathema to the Davos/Soros Regime.

Merz has previously questioned the wisdom and practicality of essentially ending democracy in Germany to "save democracy," but he appears to be warming to the idea:

The ethnic cleansing line follows other remarks by Merz on Monday, who addressed the federal executive of the CDU to promise he would use government power to prevent AfD dissidents from taking power. As reported:

Germany has a considerable security state, including political police. These organisations are a legacy of the post-Second World War and Cold War political settlements, when it was thought Germany's constitution needed inbuilt protections against democracy of a magnitude practically unknown elsewhere in the Western world. Convinced that the public voting against endless open borders is an emergency justifying the use of these powers, Merz is reported to have said on Monday he would use "all the instruments" in Germany's "strong constitution" to defend the nation against "a right-wing extremist state government".

Or maybe he won't need to go all the way. Maybe he can just count on the EU to economically strangle Saxony-Anhalt for rejecting the Davos-Soros Regime.

Beege Wellborne notes the German media is discussing the possibility that the EU will apply sanctions to the region until it votes the Only Permitted Way.

It has already been standard practice in Hungary and Poland: the EU froze funding. Should a potential AfD government in Saxony-Anhalt also violate fundamental EU rights, the state faces a payment freeze -- and thus a financial shortfall.
Saxony-Anhalt will receive [Euros] 2.95 billion from the current EU budget, which covers the years 2021 to 2027. This funding will be used for projects including school renovations, comprehensive refurbishments of gymnasiums and daycare centers, and the purchase of modern medical equipment for hospitals.
Saxony-Anhalt is the German state that receives the most EU regional funding per capita. Now, the AfD could soon be governing in Magdeburg. A party that, according to Green MEP Daniel Freund, acts against the European project and the European Union -- "and then, if necessary, the European Commission would have to withhold funds."

Communism-curious authoritarian Angela Merkel says her "heart is bleeding" over AfD's victory.

Andrew Stuttaford says that Merkel is responsible for the AfD's rise.

The Daily Telegraph:
Angela Merkel said her "heart is bleeding" after the state election victory by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Saxony-Anhalt.
Sad. But, according to the newspaper, "analysts have accused the former chancellor of paving the way for the AfD."
Analysts are right. The AfD was born as the "professors' party" founded by two free-market economists and others opposed to the eurozone bailouts made possible by Merkel. A preference for a more restrictive immigration policy was a secondary strand in the AfD's platform, but that changed after Merkel's narcissistic and reckless decision to throw open Germany's doors in 2015. The free-market strain can still be found here and there within the AfD, but Merkel's refusal to countenance serious dissent to her policy within the center-right created an opening of which the AfD, transforming itself into a party of the populist right, took full advantage.
And the AfD only benefited further when Merkel, infuriated by popular opposition to her folly, became one of the pioneers of online censorship. As I noted in an essay in National Review in 2018:

The mainstream media had enthusiastically echoed the chancellor's Willkommenskultur narrative of kindly Germans cheerfully greeting the migrants, but establishment unanimity was not enough for the instinctively authoritarian Merkel. Her less "welcoming" compatriots had found an audience on social media. That would not do.
Merkel thus endorsed a new censorship law, with the catchy name Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz. By doing so, she undermined her already tatty democratic credibility and reinforced the ability of the AfD to distinguish itself from the Kartellparteien ("cartel parties").

That is, they mean, what we'd call the Regime, or the corrupt Uniparty.

I want to draw a point here...ethnic cleansing wasn't traditionally about *ORIGIN* as in when the African countries sent people of European origin home after they got independence no one called that ethnic cleansing. And traditional ethnic cleaning INVOLVED bringing in people from another origin.

79 In the 5th or 6th century, a vampire in Germanic Europe hears tales of his fellow vampires falling to a new magic from the south, so he flees east. He reaches Japan and becomes a warlord for a millennia, aging himself and pretending to be his own son generation after generation.

2. Do not conflate ethic cleansing with genocide.

I think that if the working and middle classes of one of the Euros-

The best prospects for that are probably Spain, England, maaayyyyybe Germany, France as a very long shot. The Dutch Farmers might.

However, the European men all seem like little, neutered cucks, so I place that any possibility of that pretty low.

5. I have watched this with bemusement for decades. Europe is heavily influenced by USA, and since the 70s (Windrush -- named after the ship that carried the Caribbeans to UK) They seemed to think that there were parallels.

The Europeans were always thinking they were going to show the Americans how not to be a racists POS colonial. But that was absurd as (a) they had much much fewer, and (b) their only problems was one of their own making. They had no legitimate reason to import foreigners (not even former colonial subjects) and they never came with the crime problem the US had in the 60s and 70s with *our* minorities.

But they were all so fucking superior they thought they could import a bunch of 3rd worlders and show the Americans how it's done. It is like setting yourself on fire to show a burn victim how to stop drop and roll.

Or was it all just propaganda to replace the whites?

Then the Germans decided they needed cheap labor to compete with Germany and Japan in the 90s. Think about that for a sec. -- Yeah, our bigggest problem is we pay our workers too much -- that was the main driver behind all the migrration. Always has been from the pakis in UK mill towns to ...

142 Interestingly, there is one particular group of immigrants that Germany is happy to ethnically cleanse.

On September 8–9, 2026, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Berlin “knows who lives here” (via registration, social benefits, and residency records) and could share that information with Kyiv so Ukrainian authorities can contact men about conscription. He explicitly added that any return should happen “without coercion.” He was responding to calls from CSU leader Markus Söder that military-age Ukrainian men should go back.

Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Oleksiy Makeiev, confirmed in July 2026 that a joint working group is discussing mechanisms—especially for men who left Ukraine illegally—but he declined to give details. Emphasis has been on “Unity Hubs” in Germany that inform people about opportunities back home and on information exchange rather than forced removal.

Don't worry - going back to Ukraine will be completely voluntary - for now.

Even if the short itself isn't monetized, it can catch more eyes and draw more traffic to the longer form stuff, maybe. In theory. I technically have a youtube channel. It has zero videos and zero subscribers. Because i somehow accidentally created it one day trying to get their jackass phone app to do a thing, and then I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

148 133 First game is a lot of fun; just can't play it like you would a normal FPS. Combat system kind of punishes button mashing; i enjoyed the tutorial. I haven't played the second game yet although I did purchase it. Heard some grumblling about the 2nd one having g*y sh*t that wasn't in the first. I'm playing Blood of Dawnwalker at the moment so it will be a while before I go back to Deliverance.

I love the combat system, and reading up on the second game it sounds like most people prefer the second game's revamped combat system. Improving it seems very possible, and also tempting.

I have a decent workflow now. Pain in the ass, but I have a good idea of how long things take.

I can edit the harder videos (the Directors Series and Frame of Reference videos) in like 2 days now. And that's at a leisurely pace. The ranking videos take just about 3x as long as the actual runtimes. They're easy. So, my Tati ranking (coming tomorrow) took about 90 minutes to edit.

I've decided that all yootoob strategic analysis is produced by a grunting wildebeest squatting in a TV studio. For example, Sarah Paine is damned good at analyzing history, and has a lot of great insights into the past, but she needs to keep her tongue behind her teeth when it comes to anything to do with present day international relations, because she's a dumbass on those subjects.

On the other hand, you have ass spelunkers like Peter Zeihan, who does okay with history (where he can look up the results in a book), but puts out the weirdest shit when it comes to looking at the near future. "Canada's refusal to ban poutine will inevitably result in The Great Solar Panel War when North Korea invades Botswana after buying the HMS Victory from King Charles and sailing it from the Thames directly to the battlefield in Southern Africa!"

Freedonia has been in the news for its terrible state of affairs recently...

I'd be unworthy of the high trust that's been placed in me if I didn't do everything in my power to keep our beloved Freedonia in peace with the world. I'd be only too happy to meet with Ambassador Trentino, and offer him on behalf of my country the right hand of good fellowship. And I feel sure he will accept this gesture in the spirit of which it is offered. But suppose he doesn't. A fine thing that'll be. I hold out my hand and he refuses to accept. That'll add a lot to my prestige, won't it? Me, the head of a country, snubbed by a foreign ambassador. Who does he think he is, that he can come here, and make a sap of me in front of all my people? Think of it - I hold out my hand and that hyena refuses to accept. Why, the cheap four-flushing swine, he'll never get away with it I tell you, he'll never get away with it.

I rather suspect that the later Swagger novels were ghost-written, like the later Tom Clancy books. Lots of continuity errors, like getting Bob Lee's wife's name wrong...

But the early books were fantastic. He had a way of introducing moral ambiguity and sadness into the action that elevated airport paperback page-turners into something special. Like with Point of Impact, his first book, where the evil military contractor corporation is shown to have organized a great atrocity in a Central American war that actually ended up saving untold thousands of lives by ending the war.

Lindsay Clancy on 24/7 suicide watch after mistrial, lawyer says: 'I worry about her every day' https://trib.al/X1Q358t
Posted by: beckster

Stop. I'd more prefer to hand her a blade or help with the rope & then leave her to her own devices afterwards.

She's 'like a daughter.' 3 1/2 yrs to "want her babies," as it's being splashed around on tv. Every day, now she wants her babies, HE SAYS.

3 1/2 years to stop eating, drinking, bathing, etc. She sat on her princess ass in the institution and turned down its therapy and counseling. She showed up in court with curled hair until Nancy Grace or someone similar called the defense team out on tv. And she sobbed theatrically with her head down on the table sometimes during the testimony of her children's deaths, or wrote notes to primary defense. Pitiful she had to sit there and listen to that testimony from so many experts.

Her frigging defense team is going whole hog on msm. It's a disgrace what they are stirring up now. imho, of course.

And there had been more jurors who wanted her found criminally liable earlier on. Pound and scare them enough with what could come and you get 11-1.

Well they aren't in power in Germany as a whole so I'd guess their ability to change things is limited. And likely they will have issues with the local bureaucrats about policy but they can probably do something there.

And the idea of the EU sanctioning a portion of Germany should shock all of the German parties or states, not just the AfD.

Republican National Convention: Trump Promises $5000 Rebate If Republicans Keep Congress, John Fetterman Endorses Pennsylvania Republican Senator Dave McCormack, Promises to Work With Trump

Trump laid out the stakes at play.

"In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history. Your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back," he said.
"We hand America's future to the radical left Democrats, and our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet. It will be a tragedy. Vote Republican, and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come. There'll be nothing like it," he added.
Trump stressed that 35 key races will decide the majorities in the Senate and House come November. Republicans hold the Senate with a 53-47 majority over Democrats and independents in their caucus, and in the House, Republicans hold a 218-214 majority. Republicans look to defend key Senate seats in Texas, North Carolina, Iowa, and Ohio, and can flip Democrat seats in Michigan, Maine, and Georgia. Trump carried all of these states, except for Maine, in 2024. He intends to visit every state where a race is on a knife's edge.
"We have a very short period of time, and we really have 35 races. They all count, but we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call swings, right? Like we had seven swing states, we won all seven, right? Yeah. So I said, not that I'm looking for the work. You know, I said the other day I got so much of a schedule. I said, 'I thought I won. What do I have to do? I'm campaigning,' But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible," he said.
"The ones that are very close--they might be winning by a little, or losing by a little, or tied--we can win every one of those races," he said. "But I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen and Senators... and we're going to have rallies just like this."

As part of his pitch -- and to combat the Democrats' "affordability" op -- Trump promised that he would rebate $5000 to every adult, to be paid out of tariffs collected from foreign producers.

This almost certainly won't happen and there's not enough money collected from tariffs to even do this.

President Donald Trump pledged that he will send a $5,000 dividend to all American adults if Republicans hold their majorities in Congress in November.
Trump made the promise in what he called maybe "the best part" of his keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday before a packed crowd at the American Airlines Center.
"If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our... tremendous economic success--like in history we've never had anything like what's happening--but because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," Trump said.
"Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1,776. Remember?" he added.
Trump tethered one condition to the incentive.
"The only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America," he said. "We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America."
He reiterated that the pledge will only kick in if Republicans win, and said that Democrats cannot make such a promise because they do not have a tariff policy.
"The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do tariffs, they don't take in money. All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country. But we're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us, and you get $5,000," he said.

I see Democrats complaining -- except, all they do is promise to give some Americans money from other Americans. "Vote for us and we'll cancel your student debt and force other taxpayers to cover the hundreds of thousands of dollars you borrowed." "Vote for us and we'll give you free health care and free child care."

At least this promise, were it carried out, would be a rebate paid to everybody.

And, in theory, this is a rebate of taxes collected from foreign sellers. In other words, it's a rebate of a tariffs, which are tax-like. So it's a rebate for taxes paid.

I also see the Fake Corporate-Paid Cash-Money "Professional Conservative" Grifters showing how Severely Conservative they are by claiming this is Socialism and Illegal.

So I'm not really worked up about it. It's not going to happen -- Trump has made a similar promise before about rebating tariff money before, and that didn't happen.

Unpopular opinion: This is a brilliant political strategy, even if it's a dumb idea.
Let's be honest, Trump isn't going to lose any votes from his base because of this. A lot of fiscal conservatives (myself included) will point out giving out 1.2 trillion in stimulus checks when we're already 40 trillion in debt is just digging us deeper into a hole we already don't know if we can get out of, but at the end of the day what's the difference between 40 trillion and 41 trillion when we borrow almost 2 trillion a year anyway. 2.3 billion was given out in stimulus after COVID and we're still here so anyone screaming about hyperinflation is being dramatic.
Now, here's why it might actually be a brilliant move that could save us from economic collapse even though it makes no sense economically.
Trump didn't get this country 40 trillion in debt, Congress did. Yet regardless of that, every single year the left tells their voters they're going to spend more money and give them free shit and they keep, fucking, voting for them because they care about free shit more than they care about the debt.
The problem they're facing now is the only people getting free shit from the democrats are illegals, drug addicts, criminals, and fraudsters. The working class has been completely ignored and hasn't seen a dime from democrat leadership and they're the majority of the party.
Now think about all those forgotten men and women who just saw Trump offer them $5000 just for being an American citizen if they help us win instead of their leaders promising to spend their tax dollars on giving citizenship to illegals, getting criminals out of jail, and putting a vending machine with free heroin needles on every corner.
How many people do you think will take that deal and vote red in November for the first time? It's definitely not zero.
Democrats will destroy this country, and 1.2 trillion added to the debt will be nothing compared to what they'll spend if they regain power and push through their socialist agenda. So while I don't love the idea of Trump digging us a little deeper in the hole we're in, it's a lot better than handing the shovel to the left so they can dig our grave.

Lumpy Jack also made a surprise appearance at the Convention, introducing Republican Senator Dave McCormack, who is standing for re-election in Pennsylvania.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) crossed party lines Wednesday to address Republicans at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, saying that he stands with America and rejects socialism.
Fetterman addressed a room full of Republicans at the GOP's midterm convention, describing himself as a "common-sense Democrat" who rejects socialism and anti-American extremism.
In a video message played at the convention, Fetterman acknowledged that he was speaking to a Republican audience despite belonging to the opposing party.
"A big room of Republicans in Dallas. Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat," Fetterman said.
"Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, I'm a common-sense Democrat," he continued. "I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes in socialism and that anti-American way of life."
Fetterman then praised Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) and introduced the Republican senator to the crowd, putting their bipartisan friendship on display.
"Dave McCormick is the kind of senator that gets the job done, and he's going to fight for Pennsylvania. I'm proud to count him as my friend. Right back over my shoulder, that's the iconic U.S. steel mill, and that's exactly the kind of thing that will work together and will work with President Trump to fight and defend the steel way of life right here in the Steel Valley," Fetterman added.
"I have this opportunity to introduce this great American, a great senator, and yes he's in a different party, but I'm proud to count him as my great friend."
...
Despite his frequent clashes with fellow Democrats and his video appearance before Republicans, Fetterman made clear in July that he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party. He said his positions on abortion, LGBTQ issues, and labor would not fit within the Republican Party, even though he breaks with Democrats on issues such as Israel.
"I don't think that Republican Party wants a pro-choice, pro-gay, trans communities, federal union, and you look at my voting record...I disagree with my party on some issues, like Israel, for example," Fetterman said. "But you know, I am a Democrat, and if someone is frustrated in the Democratic Party, I would be frustrated with someone like Bernie Sanders."

Black Conservative Perspective, Government Name Greg Foreman, opined that Fetterman has no plans to become a Republican, but he's essentially threatening Democrats to stop running ops against him -- an account of "former Fetterman staffers" keeps making derogatory claims, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, against him -- or maybe he will caucus with Republicans. That sounds right to me.

Besides, for this not to be inflationary, you need to "destroy" an equal amount of money, ie taxes or fees or whatever da f***.

Again, resolve the situation in Iran, stabilize markets, bring down the price or petroleum and energy.

That alone would bring massive relief with economic knock on effects.

Keep dicking around in Iran and Trump, and by extensions, us, are going to be up Schlitz Creek come the mid-terms.

He's a leftist with one heterodox view that is going to sink him in the primary in 2028 so he can't win as a Democrat.

He's wondering if party switching will help, and gauging support.

I suspect that if he does try the party switch, he'll tank badly in the primary and end up with no one liking him because he is such a leftist.

I'd love to see him run as an independent, like Sinema didn't have the balls to do, just to tank the party he's part of that he obviously has growing disdain for. Even if he just pulls 5%, it's going to be majority Democrats uncomfortable with the new direction of the party which will be more than enough to give the senate seat to the GOP in a presidential year.

27 The "affordability crises" is a real thing. The immediate cause is Bidenflation doubling costs but this is actually a long term problem.

The price of goods and services should go down over time. Take a look at the historical number of hours to get a gallon of milk or something similar over time.

For many categories this process stopped in the US years ago because of government regulation, inflation, and our legal culture.

But solving that is no trivial thing.

40 Sorry, but this reeks of desperation.

And what do you think handing every American $5k would do for inflation? It would spike to worse than it was under Covid. I just get tired of having to defend terrible ideas with "but Democrats do it!". Bad policy is bad policy.

I dont think Trump really understands that most of why he was elected in 2024 was because inflation was breaking people economically. It's why hispanics and blacks voted for him in record numbers, they were feeling real economic pain under Biden/Harris.

Inflation is "less bad" than it was, but it really should be zero right now.

I'll await the usual chorus of being a concern troll.

That's crazy talk. The "expert" economists admonish us that 2 to 3% currency inflation on an annual basis is "good for the economy". This means your savings AND investments are cut in half every 20 years. And of course, you owe tax on the nominal number "gains".

If this is tied to tariff revenues, it's actually not inflationary because the Fed wouldn't be printing new dollars for it.

The optimum price for a gallon of gas is around 2.50, it's over 4 f***ing dollars for regular and in some places diesel is over 8 bucks, that make filling up a tractor trailer a $2500 dollar proposition.

Simply revert to the 1916 income tax tables. 2% starting at wages equal to $500,000 in today's confetti-bucks.

Nobody making 150 grand a year should be paying anything to a government with a printing press in the first place.

The government needed revenue in 1916 because the money supply was fixed, to some degree. What is there excuse now?

"It's the right thing to do" was Barky's answer, when a reporter asked him why would he be in favor, if taxing people at a higher level actually resulted in less revenue. Which it does.

I think it did when fiscal responsibility was actually a matter of fact with people. Did not have the money, could not buy shit. So people had to be aware of how much they made vs how much they spent. Add to that the depression and it fiscally traumatized a couple generations, so it was popular.

Now we are at a weird nexus where people have never had to want for anything or even think about finances to survive. Add to that that they think the government operates by completely different rules (or no rules at all) and you are where we are at.

True, but ... there has never been a moment in my life -- I'm Gen X -- where prices weren't a concern or people weren't complaining about them. My mom can't remember any moment in her life either.

Prices have been endlessly rising -- to varying degrees of inflationary deltas -- since cavemen times. It's inevitable.

The key to combat this is to (i) enact policies that grow wages and wealth, (ii) reduce taxes, and (iii) for consumers to use discretion in what they choose to buy vis-a-vis their income and wealth.

Trump is doing what he can on (i). Sadly, (iii) is beyond anyone's control, and has become a yuge problem.

106 Prices have been endlessly rising -- to varying degrees of inflationary deltas -- since cavemen times
------

But in the ordinary course of events, in the absence of crooked kings and potentates and politicians, prices for things go down. Not up. We've been trained to accept that half of our wealth is confiscated every 20 years, at minimum. And we owe tax on the "gains". Think about that, that's insane.

Better than an outright debt default overnight, and reneging on bond payments, and "cash on the barrelhead" for imports, like so many countries have undergone.

Is there a single currency still in existence from say, 1914? Other than the Dollar I mean. Sure, it's lost 99 per cent of its purchasing power since then, but technically it still spends. That has to be some sort of record.

107 95 This I still wonder about, given the redistricting.

But what do I know?

Posted by: Aetius451AD at September 10, 2026 12:34 PM (Y/06r)

=======

Redistricting brought the number of safe GOP seats to about 213. Safe Democrat seats are about 205.

That leaves less than 20 total seats that are up for grabs for real this election.

We're talking coin flip results across those races that can go one way or the other.

Pure numbers, advantage does seem to be to the GOP, but turnout differential is always going to be a thing that advantages the party out of power.

a 50/50 split leads to a GOP majority. A 70-30 split advantage to Ds leads to a Democrat majority, but a bare one.

The 2020 redraw and the subsequent redistricting fights really just exploded the number of safe seats on both sides.

The DNC has scripted Narratives it is waiting sometimes years to deploy. Trump likes to disrupt those games by making his own headlines and reframing debates.

Bottom line he wants headlines and narrative and to disrupt their games. He knows like they do that voters are not deep thinkers.

D'swant to make it about ideology or a bad economy and "struggling" voters. This disrupts all of that and what's more they can't ignore it, they HAVE to fight it because it's like chum to the voter sharks.

Everyone, most of all potential D voters, wants their "cut" - and he does it without even flinching.

Yes, exactly.

Here's the thing...Yes, the national debt is important, but-

the Democrats have become such a bizarre chimera of corruption, insanity, Chinese and Iranian bribery, political murder, feminism, anti-infantism, and just plain ole anti-humanism,

that they've actually become an existential and civilizational threat to the USA.

As a thought experiment: extend the Biden administration 4 more years into the future and what do we have at that point?

Nothing good or sustainable in my estimation.

So, a conservative party unho0lding the norms of American and Western civilization is just fine with me.

121 20% down is the standard I've always heard what what my banks have asked of me, but your point stands.
-----

Prior to the Depression, home loans were 50% down, usually in gold, 7 year notes, callable at any time.

It was the GI Bill and Home Loans that extended low interest, low down payments into 30 year mortgages. It worked beautifully, and then it turned into a huge scam. First collapse for Fannie Mae was in 1968. Milk it for all its worth, and then offload it back to the Government. Uncle Sam is good for it.

Mortgage Backed Securities. The notion that throwing a couple AAA loans into a tranch of shit, will magically make the whole thing AAA. Remember that nonsense? They did it all over again.

Also Gen X, but I think people complaining about inflation specifically has just not been much of a thing in my adult life. Things being expensive yes, but we really havent seen something like this since the late 70's/early 80's.

There were a lot of tailwinds that kept it in check, like globalization, e commerce, technology, etc.

But inflation for real world people has been way worse than the stats make them out to be. I would say the dollar has been devalued nearly 50% since 2020/Covid.

Non-white airport officials were opening the line guards and waving them through. I talked the two white male Canadian Citizens into inquiring if they could also skip with Canadian passports, and they got were given a stern "No Sir, stay in the line".

129 $5,000 rebate is both eloquent and tacky.

It's eloquent because it, somewhat, neuters the main campaign issue of costs (grocery, insurance, gas). Somewhat. At the same time, it sends a message to foreign countries that if they continue to challenge our negotiation tactics, there are more tariffs to be gifted.

It's tacky in that is akin to bribery for votes. And, a decade ago I would have drop kicked the idea like I would like to do to tiny yapping dogs. But, that's how our opposition plays the game, and I was adamant in my belief that the Republicans didn't know how to level the field and play the game to win. This is fighting....as distasteful as it is.

134 A little late to the party but I will offer my 5 sheckels. I served on a murder trial in Boston in 1994. (I happened to be in law school in Boston.) Though I did acknowledge in the jury room that I was in law school, I did not play an active role in jury matters. I chimed in here and there on factual things but did not make an @ss of myself. One thing that I noticed is that despite admonitions not to talk about the case during breaks, that's what we did during breaks (not much else to do pre-smart phones). I found that that brought the jury together and we wanted to make the right decision. We were invested in doing the right thing and not just getting outta there ASAP. It was a fascinating experience all around, including earning $155 while I was on Spring break.

Yeah, that's the other thing.

Combine that with the wage increases and the fact that increased energy prices are not actually leading to increased prices anywhere else, and you've got a situation where what little effect gas prices may have had in previous elections is just incredibly muted now.

Yea and add in the stock market values that have drastically increased wealth.

Sure, a big chunk was taken out of the purchasing power of a dollar because of Biden's runaway inflation. But DJ is over over 50% in the last 5 years. NASDAQ over 70%. Certain blue-chips like AAPL are up 125%.

So while the dollar lost some of its power, anyone with money in the market now has many more dollars.

Some people won't feel this because most if not all of their money is in 401k or retirement accounts. But they will feel the benefit of that when they retire.

Her platform included forcing office parks to repaint their parking spots so 50% were reserved for small cars.

She won. They cheered. The company that owned the office park repainted the lines. Since they mostly drove big trucks and SUVs and many were personally large they started banging each other's cars with their doors.

And then...they were outraged! Someone should sue the company! Someone should make them change parking spot size and on and on.

I pointed out the mayor they wanted did this and aren't they happy they were saving the earth? The answer...it wasn't her fault the company did it so stop blaming her.

And to stuff pockets with fat speculation profits ....

Part of the issue with prices of certain commodities -- such as oil -- is that they're futures markets. Those markets developed as a way to hedge against future prices to ensure a reasonably steady supply for acquiring the commodity itself.

But then pure speculators got into the futures markets, and they don't care about ever acquiring the commodity. They are solely interested in making profits on the delta. They are undesirable market participants, because the way they make money is generally to drive prices higher.

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer officially filed a Hail Mary bid Thursday asking a judge to find his killer client not guilty by reason of insanity – despite her high-profile case ending with a hung jury.

Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington argued in new court papers that prosecutors at her widely watched five-week trial failed to prove that the 36-year-old Duxbury, Mass., mother knew what she was doing was wrong and could follow the law when she strangled her three kids on Jan. 24, 2023.

“No rational jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that she had no mental disease or defect when the Commonwealth’s own proof established that she did,” Reddington, 75, wrote in the papers.

The PRC desperately wants cheaper oil. The Rooskies desperately want higher oil prices.

Iran desperately wants to ship their oil AT ANY PRICE. Because, since the MOU went south, the oil shipment embargo shuts down everything except domestic consumption, and Persian consumers are waiting hours, sometimes days, to put gas in their vehicles.

If she was wrong to kill her kids so were they, so better to argue she wasn't to blame...

Close but not it. Remember the inverted heat map: leftists care most about the things farthest from them personally and the least about their immediate family/friends/etc. So they want to make everyone's abortions OK even if they haven't had one themselves and are unlikely to be in that situation.

The American people and government had their chance to do something about the debt and deficit last year. It was called DOGE. The media, the Dems (BIRM), and most Republicans didn't want it, and were happy that Elon's dealerships got torched and he was run out of DC. The bigger problem was that after the GFC in '08, the Fed exploded the debt by injecting money into the economy, increasing the debt by almost an order of magnitude. The world didn't end, and we got out of the crisis. That taught lawmakers that the Chicken Little act was little more than an act. We took the wrong lesson from it, and short of a huge crisis down the road, Americans will never tackle the debt again. We're left with hoping we grow our way out of it - which Trump could pull off with reshoring and AI.

Well their "logic" is that if we didn't use/need oil, then the middle east would not have any meaning to us or power over us and we could just tell them to fcuk off. Its a pipe dream.

But any effort to develop domestic power supply is counterintuitively also squelched by them, because they are mindless puppets being used in a game. Its emotion and fear. Hypermarketing techniques.

Those of us of the galaxy brain persuasion understand that infinite FDR terms, the New York Times gushing about the wonders of eugenics, socialism, and even Naziism pre-1940, and the teachers who made many Boomers into Communists all came from the boomers' parents (and grandparents).

292 "The optimum price for a gallon of gas is around 2.50, it's over 4 f***ing dollars for regular and in some places diesel is over 8 bucks, that make filling up a tractor trailer a $2500 dollar proposition.

And for regular folks that turns a 30 dollar fill-up into an 80 or 100 dollar fill-up depending on the size of their gas tank."

Ummm. I understand your frustration, but $4 is 160 percent of $2.50. So that $30 fill-up is $48. Not nothing, but unless your gas tank is increasing in size along with inflation it's not 3 times as much.

The Morning Rant

This week's Art Thread choices have been focused on the glories of motherhood. Yes...there has been a theme! And that theme has been the importance and, actually, the superiority of women in our culture.

Why superiority? Because the unique ability of women is the bearing and rearing of children, and that is the most important thing that humans do. Is that controversial? I certainly hope not. But among the post-modern, anti-family, anti-civilization progressive movement in the West, the concept of "Woman," and the positive aspects of children have been subsumed in a deluge of feminism (all five waves!), increasingly hedonistic sexual mores, economic pressures that force women into the workforce, and recently the ascientific nonsense about transsexualism and gender.

Aside from the obvious goal of making all of humanity cogs in the infernal socialist machine, and destroying our individuality, these movements have diluted the importance of womanhood by making us interchangeable. Women in the workforce? Great, because they are just like men! Women who choose not to have children because of their careers or their desire to be unencumbered? Fantastic! Just like men! Women who choose sexual "freedom" by rejecting traditional social mores (and probably innate drives) for having children? Super! Men have been like that...forever! And most ridiculous but no less dangerous is the laughable idea that a man can become a woman: a bit of surgery, some hormones, a forgiving tailor, and poof!

But these are society-killing trends because of the decrease in the number of children being born in the West. It is civilizational suicide, and we are being replaced by fecund third-world denizens who have no interest in individuality, or for that matter Western Culture.

That is the demographic crisis, but there is a cultural and emotional crisis that is just as destructive. By degrading the position of "Woman" in our culture from the pinnacle, we have diluted the entire concept of womanhood. The glory of child-bearing and rearing has become a perceived burden...one that interferes with the hedonism of a post-modern world.

That link between mother and child -- that hopefully the art of the past four days has illuminated -- has been minimized and degraded and trivialized. It is the most powerful human imperative and emotion, and one that should be celebrated and honored. Instead, our current culture maligns it and laughs at it and stigmatizes women who embrace it. And even worse, culture now says that anyone can bear and raise children. Men? Sure! Why not? The popular definition of a woman is apparently anyone who wants to be one...can be one!

Except...men can never be mothers. Sure, there are many (maybe most?) men who are wonderful fathers and who partner with their wives to create fine children. But the position of "mother" is one that can only be filled by women, because they are designed, by God or evolution or whatever you wish to think, to nurture and defend children in ways that men simply cannot do, or even fathom.

That is as it should be, because the innocence of children needs a defender from the vagaries of the world, And women are simply better at it than men. And we don't need art to show us this! Our world has innumerable examples of the innate superiority of women as mothers. Just wander down to the nearest park and watch the moms.

Or even better, watch the mothers in your life and how they nurture and defend the innocent. Because that is what children are...innocents. And God (or nature) has endowed mothers with exactly the tools to be their defenders, in ways that the rest of us cannot.

My mother was the single most destructive force in my life from earliest memory. Nurture? Sure, if you mean inspiring suicidal self-hatred before I even hit puberty. So let's not go overboard with this women are inherently morally pure, gentle, loving and maternal beings rubbish. We're all born sinful. We need good women to be good mothers, no question. But this "superiority" nonsense is a bridge way too far.

Also included in this: women being relegated to baby incubators for primarily gay couples*. Our Left, who is s keen on insisting it is Christian traditionalists who most mirror their "Handmaid" fiction, are much more closely turning women into Handmaids with the new surrogacy boom. As if making poor women incubate babies for a big payout wasn't bad enough, they treat said babies as a product that can be trashed if it proves to be defective. This dehumanizes and cheapens what is a wonderous process, turning it into human manufacturing.

I think what got her convicted was the fact that she sent him to the pond.

Of course, the kid (at 5) is already a competitive swimmer, so I don't see much risk there, but even that is beside the point.

The point is that we've deliberately created a society which sees ANY risk to children as something to be mitigated/condemned/avoided.

THAT is damaging people to an enormous degree, and we aren't even going to realize how badly for at least another generation.

You see, they are operating on a higher sympathetic plane, and you with your toxic masculinity cannot even begin to fathom their wisdom and their superiority to see things on that level, which is why they had to got tattle to a man to get things corrected.

Yes. What I did write is that women are provided the tools. But they also have free will, so there is no guarantee.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at September 10, 2026 11:13 AM (k5CNB)

Free will is the clincher for just about everything.

I've had conversations with friends in the past where I say something about 'God's plan' or 'everything happens for a reason' and 'free will' to which he response with "Well, if my life has been according to God's will, then f*ck him. My free will allows me to say that because he's got a whole lot of explaining to do."

Integral to that mindset is the idea that children, rather than being a blessing and a gift, are a burden that should be minimize for the Karen's fullest enjoyment of life.

One apparently resembles some of the women in the jury. The look. Screams cat lady. Or whatever. The other one's purportedly a tranny.

There are reports that the prosecution wasn't on the ball and seemed "lazy" during the trial. They very well may have been sympathetic to the accused. They certainly permitted a horrid jury pool to try the case.

That is not a problem from the 9 Angry Karens perspective.

YOU are the problem, for failing to exercise (feminine) compassion, where the simple (masculine) goal was to analyze the expert testimony and factual evidence dispassionately and rationally conclude whether the admitted murderess was legally competent when she killed those three children.

The murder was conceded. The acts were admitted. The only question was whether she was legally competent. I am with the Blade. You don't start by building up the murderer as a good person. The theme should have been how calculating and manipulative she was, because no rational juror wants to be manipulated.

127 I've noted this before, but women were fed a bill of goods that men were keeping all kinds of fulfillment and joy away from women by preventing them from being in the workplace.

So women DEMANDED that they be allowed into the workforce and not "forced" to stay at home with babies.

And they are now, as a whole, far more stressed, far less happy, and have far fewer children... while the increase in available workers has held down wages, so living on a single income is also far harder... making more women have to work and become far more stressed, far less happy, and have far fewer children...

Gee. It's almost as if taking on the curse of men in addition to the curse of women was a bad idea!

134 Powerful words, cBD. Thanks.

Yet another aspect of all this to consider is the all too common notion that a woman can raise a child on her own, outside of marriage. This creates the false belief that the child can fulfill all of the mother's need for love, unconditional love. When that child fails to meet that expectation, what does the single mom do? Have another baby? Smother the first baby with overweening attention? Smother that first baby with a blanket for rejecting her? Look for love in all the wrong places? That expectation of unconditional love is a horrible burden to put on a child.

Among today’s recipients, most are 34–39 years old, with the youngest being 22.
The President underlined that the Order of Maternal Glory symbolizes a mother’s boundless love and dedication to her children’s well-being, and expressed heartfelt gratitude to all recipients.

155 I think their error was not focusing on what it takes to get a not guilty by insanity defense. It's my understanding that if the defendant knew without a doubt what they did was wrong then the insanity defense is moot.
Posted by: polynikes

Not quite. Mass has a rather stupid state standard set in Commonwealth v. McHoul (1967) where once the burden of proof by showing the judge that a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity is reasonable, then the STATE has the burden of proof to show beyond a reasonable doubt that person was sane enough to comprehend their actions and decided to do it anyway in going forward with the murders at the time when the murders happened. Comes from the idiots at the Model Penal Code project.

M'Naughten std from the 1800's British law, on the other hand, requires a defendant has to prove insanity under the clear and convincing evidence std (highest in civil law) that the defendant was insane at the time of the murder. Most states follow some form of M'Naughten test. A few allow a guilty but insane verdict which commits the person to a mental hospital to serve out their sentence. Personally, I think this is the way.

156 And, to extend CBD's point, that women are superior and nurturing is exactly why the Clancy rhubarb exemplifies our cultural crisis, the rotten core of American modernity.

Women need to reclaim their rightful place, and demand men do the same. Teaching American values of self-reliance and self-improvement, freedom, and civic responsibility to small children is infinitely superior than teaching "empathy" and "tolerance".

I think what got her convicted was the fact that she sent him to the pond.

Of course, the kid (at 5) is already a competitive swimmer, so I don't see much risk there, but even that is beside the point.

The point is that we've deliberately created a society which sees ANY risk to children as something to be mitigated/condemned/avoided.

THAT is damaging people to an enormous degree, and we aren't even going to realize how badly for at least another generation.

Especially when a 5 year old autistic kid just drowned in a pond b/c both parents purposely provided the kid the opportunity to do so...

I would not have convicted mom or even charged mom. But, a 5 year old is not allowed to go to a pool alone. Normally, you must be able to swim and be 9 in my area. And a pool has lifeguards - a pond doesn't.

So, a rethink on sending an older buddy (b/c he had siblings) or sending him where there was no possible water was probably a better idea...

There is a school of thought that a significant portion of the "women's rights" were a kind of op, or manipulation of mass opinion for "other purposes" as it were.

It's difficult to believe but there was a time in America where a single breadwinner could earn enough income in a unskilled labor job to support a family. Not in "high style", but he could purchase a home, buy a car, and maybe get a vacation once in a while. Mom stayed home with the kids. There were millions of middle class neighborhoods like this.

Delivering Milk, the Milkman. Or at a meatpacking house. Or a foundry worker. Loggers, miners, boilermakers, welders, factory assemblers. All that has been hollowed out through overseas "free trade"; and at the same time, millions of unskilled laborers have driven wages stagnant since the 1970s.

Doubling the number of people in the workforce effectively quashed wages as well. Now you see parents trying to work two jobs, and pay for day care at the same time.

179 I'd also like to see the jury instructions. They are often overlooked but they are absolutely critical to the case.

The jury's job is to apply their opinions of the evidence to the "law" as instructed by the judge.

If the judge instructs the jury, "You are to find the defendant not guilty if she wears a revealing dress," and the defendant one day wears a mini with a heavy drop top, then the jury is to apply that to the (obviously nonsensical) instruction and acquit.

MA also appears to have a broader "insanity defense" that is more favorable to the defense than the majority of other states. MA does not follow the classic "M'Naghten rule."

No, I'm not defending the jury verdict in this case. At least one of the jurors was an insane Karen that never should have been on the jury. (The one that gave that interview.) But without knowing the full jury instructions, I can't evaluate the other jurors as to whether they conceivably did their job or not.

184 Now one thing that will strike someone as significant if you read period articles from the "social planners" in the 1950s and 1960s was how strong the middle class was in America. Most countries are starkly divided. The very rich and wealthy, and abject poverty, no in between. None.

The "experts" allowed that Americans had a strong belief in God, generally, and a robust church attendance. And the family unit was going to be a tough nut to crack.

"Well, it worked, didn't it?" Harry Reid. They have successfully decimated the strong family unit, single breadwinner employment, and Motherhood. Church attendance? I'm sure it has cratered. What's left is whack job purple haired lunatics bitching at me about my lawnmower is destroying the planet.

I'm just going by what I've read regarding to how the case was prosecuted. Admittedly I may have missed the closing arguments where the prosecution laid out the premeditation planning, the ability of the defendant to call an audible during the murders and the fact she knew what she was doing was wrong all pointing to the fact she was not in a case of temporary psychosis beyond any reasonable doubt.

I never ever claimed to be a Mother of the Year, but everything I might have 'lost' in having a houseful of kids with interesting age gaps and a full time job for decades - in terms of less money, time, sleep, leisure, travel, even some health - was well worth it - I gained a great deal as it made ME just a little better person - less judgmental, hopefully kinder - dealing with other people. (And the brats survived me and have thrived.)

So many people are exceptional people without being mothers or parents or guardians. I could barely manage as a teen, as the oldest of a bunch of street urchins with a working mother, and a kid who avoid school myself until an adult. I never pictured ever being able to cope well with more babies and/or kids. Took a lot of prayer, some instinct and very good examples, and also conviction I could be okay in THAT chosen 'career' too.

I hesitate on making that assumption because I did not see the trial (murder trials have no appeal to me, for one project, I read about one thousand or so death penalty case reports and their sentencing documents). A lot depends on witnesses presented, cross examination, and so on. And the prosecution faced at least a trio or more jurors that apparently had already made their minds up via media reports before trial started.

About the only thing is sure is that she did it and the husband had nothing to do with it.

And we are talking about the legal standard in Mass which is very lenient on insanity once the threshold is met.

Some states use a similar method on self defense claims btw, usually red states. Defendant has to meet a certain burden of proof to show that they can present a reasonable self defense claim, then the burden of proof flips to the prosecution to show that the defendant did not act in self defense.

Getting into justification and affirmative defenses is too complicated for gray box pontificating.

213 155 Mass has a rather stupid state standard set in Commonwealth v. McHoul (1967) where once the burden of proof by showing the judge that a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity is reasonable, then the STATE has the burden of proof to show beyond a reasonable doubt that person was sane enough to comprehend their actions and decided to do it anyway in going forward with the murders at the time when the murders happened. Comes from the idiots at the Model Penal Code project.

M'Naughten std from the 1800's British law, on the other hand, requires a defendant has to prove insanity under the clear and convincing evidence std (highest in civil law) that the defendant was insane at the time of the murder. Most states follow some form of M'Naughten test. A few allow a guilty but insane verdict which commits the person to a mental hospital to serve out their sentence. Personally, I think this is the way.

Yup. It's insane that nurses were allowed on that jury. You never want medical professionals on a jury in a criminal case turning on medical evidence because the pros will always think they know better and use their own -- out of court -- knowledge and evidence.

You also don't want nurses on a jury where the defendant is a nurse. They will always feel solidarity or at least sympathy with fellow nurses.

Hell, they don't like cops on the jury -- or even family members of cops -- if a cop is testifying because those jurors will usually give fellow cops the benefit of the doubt.

But here, the jury included multiple fucking nurses in a case against a nurse that turned on medical evidence. In-fucking-sane. Judge should have struck them all.

Interestingly, it was originally written for television, and the thing is so holy in the minds of people that it barely gets any updates at all through the years (Friedkin's version changed some races and minor dialogue around it, but that's it).

I think that the quick teleplay writing process is betrayed in every subsequent version. The leaps of logic papered over on television just kind of stand out more in both major film versions.

Simple statements. Mass tilts toward defendants claiming insanity to a degree not present in most states. Most states tilt toward the prosecution where insanity defenses require the defendant to prove that they were insane with varying standards of proof.

At least one state doesn't allow insanity as a defense, I think Kansas is one such IRRC. There, the jury has the option of guilty but insane verdict which puts the defendant in a mental hospital to serve their sentence. Scotus upheld that law mebbe a decade ago but don't know if other states have followed.

Absolutely. But it was mostly due to the inherent superiority of the American system that produced this huge "middle class" in the first place. It took epic marshalling of resources to fight a two front war, produce the armaments to defend "democracy", a skilled labor force to produce millions of tons of ships, planes, boats, tanks, a Manhattan project, it's just incredible to see what was accomplished. They probably sent more material to the Soviet Union alone than most other countries output combined, alone.

And then in the next 50 years they threw it all away for us. It would not have been possible to maintain the market share on a global basis, but what "free trade" agreements and other jiggery-pokery global shit is a crime.

256 I've noted this before, but women were fed a bill of goods that men were keeping all kinds of fulfillment and joy away from women by preventing them from being in the workplace.

So women DEMANDED that they be allowed into the workforce and not "forced" to stay at home with babies.

263 Elric is correct from a judge’s point of view. But judges won’t admit the real reason the jury is there. The jury is there to keep the judge in line. There were early cases in colonial history where publishers were put on trial for lèse majesté: the publisher had published articles critical of the royal governor, and thus had impugned the king. Following the instructions given by the judge the publisher should have been convicted given the evidence presented during trial. The jury refused to convict. There were early judge was in the wrong. The law was wrong. Judges don’t want you to seek justice. This lead to attempts to outlaw trial by jury and eventually lead to the Revolution.

265 Thank you for this post. Important time for it. Women who think of children as "burdens" are lost and do not know miracles by God. Or that a spark of light occurs with conception.

Men are great fathers and grandfathers. I know because I married one. He loves babies and children and thinks men, like his own father (who was not fond of babies) are missing out. Their loss. His father thought it was a badge of courage or something stupid to "only like kids once they could walk and talk." He had nothing to do with our first son til then and children easily annoyed him.

My own father loved babies and children.

The second year after I met my future husband in college I saw him interact with a 9mo old baby girl. Until then I did not think of him as husband material. It worked.

Children need both parents in different ways.

We were blessed with two sons and now 3 grandchildren who are the joy of our lives. The reward for getting old.

60 I enjoy Raphael's larger crowd scenes like his School of Athens. In many of his portraits the facial expressions are a bit wooden, typical for the time and something I mention often enough. This painting is different. The expressions are natural and realistic. The skin tones are soft, pleasant. Look at the slight blush on Mary's cheek. Their eyes are lively and Mary's direct look at the viewer is riveting. The colors of Raphael's sunlit outdoor scenes are vibrant in an eye catching way. The colors here are still rich but softer, appropriate to an intimate, indoor setting.

It is a remarkable, gentle family portrait. Even without the religious aspects it would be wonderful and touching.

***********

I think that's the wrong John. The title says St. John who was John the Apostle. Diet of locusts and honey John was John the Baptist. I initially thought it was John the Baptist because of the similarity of the ages. John in the painting has hands in a worshipful pose and a crucifix over his shoulder.

I could be mistaken.

91 Madonna and Child with St. John (known as Madonna of the Chair)
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino

Mary holding the Christ Child while a young John the Baptist watches and prays from the right. Mary sits in a sedia camerale (a papal chamber chair) rather than a rustic seat, blending divine holiness with human maternal warmth.

A lovely, uplifting painting, circa 1513–1514, likely for Pope Leo X. It's housed in the Palatine Gallery of the Pitti Palace in Florence, Italy.

Didn't realize this artist also died relatively young.

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, now generally known in English as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.

Born 1483, Urbino, Italy
Died April 6, 1520 (age 37 years), Rome, Italy
Periods - Renaissance, Italian Renaissance, High Renaissance
Full name - Raffaello Sanzio
Parents - Giovanni Santi, Magia di Battista di Nicola Ciarla.
(His father a painter and poet; his mother also passed young, in 1491.)

Thanks, CBD.

Strong limbs, a stout trunk, lots of energy. Unfortunately, zero coordination, like her dad. Just brute force. But still, physically powerful. Her cousin is a healthy kid of the same age, but she just manhandles her when they wrestle.

If you have Sirius XM, you may know there is - of course - a Beatles channel. One of their regular programs is "My Fab Four," where fans both famous and unknown pick four Beatle songs, introduce them and talk about their love for the band.

I sent in four choices a few months ago: "What You're Doing," "You Can't Do That," "Mr Moonlight" and "Here Comes The Sun." I expected nothing, but the other day the program director sent me an e-mail asking if I'd record my selections (using a provided script) and at some point in the next month or so it would be broadcast.

So yay me.

When the Boy Child was at whatever age one is when one discovers that one's body is a real thing, I was changing him after a semi-solid event.

He was on the changing table, laying on his back and I undid his diaper. I had one hand on his chest and one hand reaching for the wipes when he smooshed his hands around in his poop, then patted me gently on the face and hair.

There was nothing for it but to finish changing him, set him in his crib, and get in the shower.

To this day - he's 11 - I remind him that he'll never Out-Embarrass me. I've had his shit in my hair.

Just reading over what Redstate has published, I cannot believe that he's actually willing to do this.

3) you want inflation? This is how you get inflation.

I'm frankly just flabbergasted about it. I know he's trying to sell people on the Republican brand but we're not the ideology of handouts.

164 Defenetrus,
=====
A) economics shows that one off payments generally go for paying off debt or investing, not consumption (see 2008 Bush stimulus payments).
Effect on inflation is minimal for one off payments/rebates/etc because consumption doesn't change that much on a one time windfall of a relatively small amount.

B) if the payments come from tariff income, then it is actually what economists recommend to set off increased costs to the lower end of the income distribution to the extent that tariffs took away part of that groups spending ability

C), there is NO paying down the debt period. That cannot happen until we enact far greater budget cuts as the deficit is about 1.6-1.9 trillion right now and as we have seen, a big part of that is actually a) Medicare whose taxes need to be raised and fraud eliminated, b) Medicaid which is riddled with fraud, and c) Social Security which needs either increased age to retirement, benefit cuts, or some other method.

I think Trump is using the Reagan method which according to you would be bribery in reducing tax burdens in order to put more pressure on the GOP Congress to start cutting off funny money to their own welfare clients.

175 The real facts are the US economy is about 32 Trillion or so in size. The current debt is about 40 trillion (and you need to discount the idiotic notion of counting supposed future obligations out of that because they are not in fact legal obligations per Scotus decision way back). That puts us roughly at 125% debt to gdp.

So to pay it off in a reasonable time period, you either need cuts so extensive that no government can support them over that time to carry them out--as in raising taxes to somewhere around 50 percent of your income for decades plus massive spending cuts as in no social security, no medicare, no medicaid, no welfare for decades or b) you inflate the debt away--currently the US debt due to Covid is about one quarter devalued from inflation from 2020-2025 and that is a tax by other means, or c) we repudiate it--that means that instantly our imports are cut off unless you can scrape up hard assets like gold, oil, etc. to pay for them, you will have bans on taking currency abroad, and you will have to run at least no deficit in trade accounts with other nations for years.

US being a reserve currency, it would probably throw the world into a depression anyway.

Eh, that can be said for government employees as well. Why do all local governments run on salary increases for public workers--it is because they vote as their paycheck depends on it. Plus we schedule the local elections at such a time as to depress the electorate so that taxpayers often don't vote but government workers do.

I can go on to government contractors, those wanting tax cuts, etc. We could make defense a lot cheaper is a) we cut out foreign actions, and b) we go to universal conscription which eliminates the biggest bill in defense spending--payroll.

Everyone is getting some and the mythical virtuous American citizen that is not getting something is similar to Gorillas in the Mist.

Frankly, I get bemused of people posing as fiscal conservatives yet not wanting their piece of the pie cut.

To update Senator Russell Long's saying, " Don't cut you, Don't cut me, cut that feller's funds behind the tree." He used it for taxes but government spending at all levels is a similar argument.

Tariffs currently are not illegal because Scotus in making his emergency tariffs legal, made his use of retaliatory and predatory tariffs legal. That argument won't hunt.

And no, you would have to cut 1.6 trillion out of a 7 trillion or so budget and NOT touch the trillion spent on interest. That means to even stay status quo, you will have to cut 1/3 of the federal budget and that is going to have to come from the holy triad, social security, medicare, and medicaid. Or you raise taxes (which gets tricky) because the marginal revenue decreases as the tax rate increases and you take a hit on economic growth at investors put money either abroad or in tax shelters.

Mebbe, I have been watching Japan with fascination for decades now. Its debt to GDP level is about 300-350 percent of GDP. China is not far behind. Yet we haven't seen Japan nor China collapse suddenly.

I think the marginal increase in federal debt and spurring economic growth is what is important rather than the particular size of the national debt.

Andy Jackson paid off the federal debt in 1836 and the US promptly went into a deep depression that lasted until Van Buren got kicked out of office.

Simply put, a lot of things my economics teachers taught me are apparently not true, some are partially true, and some remain to be debated. Government debt to gdp is one of those.

For anyone, I recommend Carmen and Rogoff who are economic historians and their book, This Time It's Different--they study government economic collapses during the past 1000 years or so.

Calm down. I don't personally recommend it due to poor performance of conscripts historically but needless to say, that helped keep US debt to gdp down post WWII.

Personnel costs for defense are about 40-50 percent of the defense budget roughly 400-500 billion per year. So, you face a hobbesian choice. And defense is no. 4 spending category after SS, Medicare, Medicaid, excluding interest on the debt which cannot be cut absent repudiation of the federal debt.

And as I point out, there are no painless choices here and ironically growing the economy faster than the rise in debt ratio is probably the best option right now and the most politically salable.

The Morning Report — 9/ 10 /26

Good morning kids. Wow, what a shocker, a film-maker goes to NYC's East Village and finds that the overwhelming majority of individuals he queried state unequivocally that we, that is America, deserved 9/11.

One person incorrectly insisted the attacks occurred on September 10. Others spouted conspiracy theories, including one person who claimed George W. Bush was “heavily implicated” in orchestrating 9/11. Another said the way the World Trade Center towers collapsed was “too weird” to have been caused by planes. “I think Israel, America behind it all,” another person said, adding an apparent reference to hundreds of years of alleged atrocities. But the interviews went far beyond conspiracy theories.

As you clean up the vomitus from your lap and easy chair... meh, this is akin to descending to the depths of the Marianas Trench and Diver Dan telling you to your face "water is wet," wouldn't you say?! It's not drugs per se, but it is the most poisonous of narcotics, anti-American leftist indoctrination pumped into their brains from parents and schools that have been poisoning our youth for decades and continue to do so, especially in higher ed.

On that note, I submit for your consideration, on this fine morning, we have this glittering cancerous fistula as but one example:

Melina Abdullah, a professor of pan-African studies at California State University, Los Angeles, is under fire for comments she made at an event where she doxed an ICE agent and then urged students in the audience to ‘f**k him up.’

Ah yes, their universal desire for peace love and understanding means that millions of us will have to be liquidated in order to bring that about. As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as the popular outlets listed at the bottom of this post, they are the party of death.

Ah yes, how they abhor violence, except when taking out "nazis" like Charlie Kirk!

Everything about the assassination was astonishing: The unconscionable security failure from the campus police and Charlie’s detail, the fact he was killed while modeling robust and respectful debate, the utterly depraved nature of the act and the apparent transgender-related motive of the accused killer. He was a thought leader, an institution builder and a grassroots-mobilization visionary. The cranks and kooks overrunning the online right today are a sad testament to the void he left behind: Charlie, the guardian of the floodgates, was the conservative coalition’s indispensable man.

Of course "free speech" is a tool of heteronormative, white supremacy and toxic masculinity. And there's no greater example of that than of a woman who butchers her three children and is hailed as a heroine while the one voice of sanity who prevented her from walking free, at least for now, is demonized as evil incarnate for not being compassionate and understanding her position!

‘He couldn’t get over the fact that Clancy viciously killed her children.”
Those are the words of one of the insufferably condescending female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial who have gone public with their disdain for the lone male juror who refused to go along with their not guilty verdict.

When they're done slaughtering their and OUR children they'll turn on us. Because freedom and democracy (vonit) demand it!

Brittany Dawn Jeffrey of the Hallie Shoffner-backed Little Rock Freedom Fund hosted a group of rioters at her residence to make Molotov cocktails... Little Rock Freedom Fund founder Brittany Dawn Jeffrey was one of four individuals charged for the attacks in December 2020 and later admitted in a guilty plea that the rioters made the Molotov cocktails at her residence with bottles of liquor, bedsheets, and gasoline. She was sentenced to time served in December 2022 after spending 17 months in pretrial detention. During that time, the Little Rock Freedom Fund sold T-shirts with her photo alongside a quote from convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, the left-wing Arkansas Worker reported at the time.

And speaking of Democrat candidates . . .

El-Sayed Demanded Mass Release of Prisoners, ‘De-Jailing,’ and Scrapping Cash Bail Because of ‘Racism’: Democrat Claims US Is ‘a Carceral State’

And then again there's Fetterman. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he may be a Democrat but still!!

In a stunning turn of events, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman made a high-profile cameo at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas.
Fetterman featured in a pre-recorded video introducing his GOP Senate counterpart from Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, praising President Trump and McCormick for supporting American steel workers.
The bipartisan overture marks a dramatic escalation in Fetterman’s growing alienation from the Democratic Party.

Aside from President Trump himself, there isn't any politician allegedly on our side that is speaking as loudly and as forcefully against the Left as John Fetterman. Whatever his motivations and political calculus, thank goodness he's doing it.

Then again, Fetterman aside maybe there is something under the surface that is bubbling up little by little that could be at long last the sea change we have so desperately prayed for and need for our future survival as a nation and society...

A Michigan Democrat state lawmaker is warning voters not to support U.S. candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and said socialist politicians take black voters for granted. “It doesn’t change, it’s just different slave owners,” Democratic Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett told Fox News Digital, referring to Democrat Party leaders who treat black voters as a monolith who should only support left-wing candidates. She also accused El-Sayed of not supporting the best interests of black people in Michigan and said the far-left rising socialist wing of the Democrat Party is “more racist than the KKK.”

It's one thing for Fetterman and even others to go after the DSA crazies but rhetoric like this also exposes or has the potential to expose who and what the Democrats themselves are and have been.

In any case as all of the previous examples and many many more that we have witnessed and lived through these last few years and even longer, they will not rest until we're either conquered or dead and they've gained absolute permanent power.

Have a good day.

something about Good Times making Weak men.

Generational Theory is up in flames, its that absolute demonic filth we allow into the country, secular hedonistic nihilism replacing religion, and complete abandonment of the Patriarchy.

Basically, the US thrived when it made a feeble attempt to follow Biblical models and recommendations for human flourishing. But as we have abandoned it, starting from our "churches" failing to do their primary mission: "Glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever" and move to empty slogans, emotionalism and social movements; to literally voting in demonically possessed individuals into office—society just continues to trend to the norm of human existence and that is a behavior that models the Antediluvians or the men of the plain of Shinar.

88 Here is a link to a 9/11 documentary/dramatization made in 2006 you probably have not seen. It is focused on AA Flight 11's flight and the crash aftermath in the North Tower. Two-plus hours.

https://youtu.be/BUjeUwoeEn4

It is a BBC/Discovery Channel production but is not slanted. Probably because it was made way back in 2006. It contains actual video not seen in US productions that some may find disturbing. Includes interviews of North Tower survivors and of family members of victims. The comments of the wife of one victim are not what you may expect. The ending is powerful; made up of comments from survivors.

The utube video is stitched-together and has duplicate material. Ignore that and just watch.

Not as distressed as you are. There have been at least nine copy-cat murders in 2026 alone. Yet this one is some sort of bellwether whereas all of the other responses to murders are not.

This is about as raw evidence that you can find on the effectiveness of TikTok in amplifying the worst elements of our society to influence the weak and amoral minds of the population. When a culture has no moral values, no desire for moral values, and no vocabulary to even express moral values, then Mimetic Theory indicates that people will fall in line with whatever influence fills that gap. They can't justify their position because they don't have the vocabulary nor the moral conscious and framework in which to construct a coherent apology for the temporary position they irrationally adopted.

Chris Quackenbush. Co-founder of investment bank boutique Sandler O'Neill which lost half its people. Chris could have gotten out, but stayed to help others who were caught in overwhelming smoke.

Dean Eberling. Mild-mannered Wall Street research analyst and suburban father. Caught in an elevator, he and another guy were able to pry open the door so the women could get out, but couldn't hold it so they could get themselves out. Very Titanic, no?

126 The prosecution was a total joke. Zero effort. They're on her side too.

I think it is important at this time to recognize that far too many lawyers, particularly employed by government, are amoral—that is, they can't intellectually comprehend sufficiently to prosecute, or even desire to prosecute Lex Naturalis. They literally don't have the vocabulary to even have an internal monologue with themselves as to these kinds of laws, so they will always appear ineffective because they are in uncharted waters.

On the other hand, they have a remarkable ability to fiercely go after Lex Positiva since they can handle those kinds of laws. Even more so they can pilpul the bitch out of a process crime, wresting whatever definition they want from it.

So yes, our legal system is based on secularists who can't tell Right from Wrong and when pressed, just wing it.

I told him that this, and other truther lies were all addressed and debunked in a Popular Mechanics article in 2005.

Mohamed #1 dies, is replaced by Mohammed #2, and then numbers 3, 4, and 5 and they’re all the same with the later ones being even more radical to prove they’re worthy.

It doesn’t matter how many you kill, unless you kill all of them, and we’re not going to do that. They’re a death cult, they WANT to die. Far easier to stop them by wrecking their country to make sure they have little power outside their borders, which is what were systematically doing.

Fun fact: In Massachusetts, people found not guilty by reason of insanity are 're-evaluated' every six months to see if they are 'cured'. Since she claimed postpartum psychosis, and it's been almost 4 years since she last gave birth, there's a pretty good chance that she'd be released almost immediately.

She is still under suicide watch - 1:1 observation. Someone is always with her, watching her. Apparently no interest in personal hygiene. Even though family is bringing in regular food, she is served a special diet (probalby ground up) to minimize choking - in case she decides to punch her clock.

I don't doubt she is messed up in the head. But she killed her 3 kids. There must be accountability. If she remains in that state mental hospital until she sheds her mortal coil .... I'm good with that.

But if you spend any time with the left you immediately see they believe in the most absurd conspiracy theories you can imagine.

For example, Jessica Valenti recently argued that conservatives are only upset about Lindsay Clancy murdering her kids and potentially getting away with it because they want to take away "women's rights".

And on 9/11 being caused by Shrub or da JOOs a majority of leftists has believed this for a long time. And I'll be honest Shrub is partially to blame for this. He should have fired most of the FBI/CIA leadership after 9/11 and prosecuted Bill Clinton but as he was uniparty he wasn't going to do any of that

This health care claim has been the basic idea Democrats run on since Clinton's time. They get in, try to implement government healthcare, and get defeated because of it, but never give up. It is their central belief, that (like Social Security) once people get a National Health Service type deal Democrats will be thanked forever.

Despite the experience of Canada and England, Democrats believe this to their core.

255 Regarding the "cancer breakthrough" article --

They are touting an mRNA "vaccine" for melanoma. That's great, but there is an inexpensive, remarkably effective, and far safer cancer shot that has already been developed. The only side effect is patients become resistant to respiratory infections. The only patients whose cancer did not remain in remission were those who took Covid shots in spite of the doctor's instruction not to.

The problem is that the medicine is simple and inexpensive to produce and administer, so the only people benefiting from it are the ones in the clinical trials. Therefore, there's no money motive to make it available.

I don't have a problem with Trump putting tariffs on foreign countries largely because they have been doing it to us for years which helped crippled our domestic industries.

Playing basketball is all he knows. He signed an NBA contract and began playing right out of high school. Raised in Akron by his money-struggling mother alone, until age nine. Then she tried to ensure he had a better life than she could provide, by sending him to live with a local school football coach. He introduced LeBron to basketball. He ended up playing high school ball at an elite mostly-white Catholic school in Akron. (He must have been an athletic beast from an early age.) NBA Rookie of the Year, 2004. He was 20 years old.

Experience with past stimulus checks does not bear that out. Temporary payments are generally not used to consume new goods but to pay off debt and/or invest. That has been the problem with the one off stimulus designed to prevent recessions (classic Keynesian policies).

Re 2008 Bush stimulus checks.
"Approximately one-third (33%) of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 tax rebates were spent on goods and services, while 48% were used to pay off debt and 32% were saved.

Marginal Propensity to Consume: Studies found an aggregate marginal propensity to spend of about one-third, with low-income households more likely to use rebates for debt repayment. "

Gets complicated on states because you have local/state governments intertwined on spending issues like public education.

The rules are weighted way too heavily to favor offense now. I mean Kirk Cousins has better stats than Kenny Stabler for Pete’s sake; it’s ridiculous

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at September 10, 2026 09:21 AM (uTFcg)

Yeah, and a lot of it is because back in the day, defensive backs were allowed to pretty much mug receivers until the pass was in the air. Tightening-down on pass interference and prohibiting defenders from 'bumping' receivers more than 5 yards downfield changed the game.

363 The Fair Tax is a crack-pipe dream made up by retards that don't recognize that widespread tax conversion would completely collapse the economy.

I agree. Completely.

But that's not what you said. You said the "Fair Tax Frauds wanted to increase taxes even more so that people who were taxed on their income are now forced to pay taxes yet again on every single purchase."

That's just not accurate at all.

From above, "...conspiracy theories, including one person who claimed George W. Bush was “heavily implicated” in orchestrating 9/11. Another said the way the World Trade Center towers collapsed was “too weird” to have been caused by planes. “I think Israel, America behind it all,” another person said, adding an apparent reference..."

The conspiracy theories of almost a quarter century reappear, though I don't recall Israel specifically being named then as also behind it, and with Bush & Cheney? But everyone loves all the Cheneys now, so not Cheney? 🤷‍♀️ But our friends, the tiny country that seems to be feared worldwide, standing like a parent threatening & intending to kick ass until desired respectful & social behaviors takes hold? Nope. No respect from the children any more.

Tell me the breakdown in logic here:

• Bob, for forty years has worked hard, saved his money and all of his income through wages and investment returns has been taxed via the income tax.

• Fair Tax comes along and now a 20% nominal levy is attached, on top of the SALT applied to purchases already to all goods and services that fall under Fair Tax authority.

386 I can't stand the manner of speaking El-Sayed is using, particularly when talking with/debating Jesse Watters. It's as bad or worse as Hillary with her hot sauce, or AOC trying one today's new persona. Fu**ing annoying!! But where did it come from, and how?

Here's a little AI defense in his BS:

When El-Sayed speaks quickly, he doesn't just talk fast—he uses a highly rhythmic, cadence-driven delivery common in traditional American political and religious oratory (often associated with the American South). He heavily punches certain words, drops pitch at the end of clauses, and elongates specific vowels to emphasize a point. It creates a bouncy, musical rhythm that sounds distinctly un-Midwestern.

While he grew up in the Detroit suburbs, his public speaking style, sentence structure, and vocal inflections are heavily shaped by Metro Detroit's unique urban dialect and African American Vernacular English (AAVE) rhetorical patterns. This includes dropping the "g" on words (like tryin' or goin') and adopting a drawl-like vowel elongation when he's being conversational or punchy. Because AAVE shares deep historical and linguistic roots with Southern

387 American English, his fast-paced Detroit cadence can easily sound like a Southern manner of speaking to an outside listener. (Wikipedia referenced)

So you are definitely not mishearing the cadence—it really does sound different from the standard Inland North (Chicago/Wisconsin) accent you know! It's just a product of his unique background and high-energy rhetorical style rather than him actually being from the South.

Oh, that Black vote! Got it!

You got it Mr. James Clyburn? Mr. Obama?

El-Sayed apologized for past controversial remarks, leading to the endorsement shift from the South Carolina Democratic leader, who emphasized that "all of us deserve second chances." (The Hill)

In August 2026, former President Barack Obama called Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to discuss party unity following a tough primary race.

391 NBC, Sen. John Fetterman makes a surprise cameo praising Republicans at the GOP convention
The Democratic senator — who often takes heat from his own party for teaming up with Republicans — praised his fellow senator from Pennsylvania, who is a Republican.
September 9, 2026 (Read)

Fetterman is not a cruel man, but one of compassion - even if it goes a bit too far at times. He's a family man. He genuinely gets along with his Republican counterpart.

PA - rapidly turning into a shithole of socialism - will probably wind up with a US Senator Chris Deluzio, or maybe even Summer Lee, in Fetterman's place.

Remember Deluzio? One of several Democratic lawmakers featured in a video advising service members on refusing illegal orders.

Yesterday's Facebook msg: "If we don’t do something about Vivek Ramaswamy’s private equity friends jacking up the cost of youth sports, American kids will grow up thinking that’s how you hit a baseball."

Now Summer did an AOC with the DSA. But while she's no longer a member of the DSA, she remains a highly progressive figure in Congress, frequently aligned with "The Squad," an active member of Justice Democrats, and the Progressive Caucus.

39 Second cup of coffee. Amazing how we come to depend on the stuff, and on routine. Normally I have some black juice first thing whether I'm going to work out or not. Yesterday, all I drank as part of my fast was water. When I finally got to the diner and slurped my first coffee, I'd been awake and moving for three hours and was functioning well. But the diner juice in their thick white mug was darn good.

I've got a haircut and a feeding of the big car on the schedule today. The station with E0 near the barber may still have the non-ethanol stuff at the same price as a week ago; I want to grab it before its price rises too.

The fattest cat over there needs to be put on a reducing diet, but he is a sweet and friendly ( big) boy. On Tuesday I had to feed seven fixed cats in a cat colony, my friend's three cats and my own . All this bending down to clean and full food bowls did not help my back. There was however a beautiful last bit of rose bush at the cat colony and it smelled lovely.

48 So Winnie had her vet appointment yesterday. The main focus was checking her heart and doing a chest x-ray to make sure that she could handle being under anesthesia for a dental cleaning.

The vet was annoyed because she was the one who had diagnosed the heart murmur and now she couldn't find it. A quick blood draw was done and then they had to clean out her right ear because it was filled. The Greyhound Scream of Death was heard that day.

In the end, she got a lot of cookies, everyone said how wonderful she was and she was resting happily shortly after getting home.

This month it was Westerns. Linda spoke about a Mickey Spillane/Max Allan Collins novel, Hot Lead, Cold Justice, which she thought had an unsatisfying ending. I spoke about Outlawed, the "feminist" Western I mentioned on the Book Thread this last week. Anna North's novel really isn't "feminist" in the sense of the strident screeching we hear and read so often. Most books labeled as such are short on story and long on "messaging." Not this one.

As a plus, the author's West is an alternate one: In the 1830s, a Great Flu wiped out 90% of America from Boston to California. The surviving society became all about fertility (logically), to the point that a "barren" woman is often accused of being a witch. The background shapes the story, as a good SF tale should.

North is new to me. This one is her third novel, and while she is a writer for the NYT, she did not let her probable leftist bias affect her storytelling. It's really only "feminist" in that it deals mostly with women and women's concerns -- but a good writer can make that interesting to men, or at least yours truly, and she did.

I try not to give away endings, but to talk about why a book is important or not, where it was strong and where it was weak, and how it relates to other novels. Outlawed, for instance, has faint resemblances to another Western with a heroine -- True Grit.

tech story

173 Many years ago, we got an ISDN line installed at Jerry Pournelle's house, known as Chaos Manor. ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

Oddly, I like Leonard's Westerns better than I do some of his present-day crime stories. The dialog in his crime tales is so close to the way actual people speak that, paradoxically, it's sometimes hard for me to follow. I don't have that problem with his Westerns.

With L'Amour, I've only read Hondo (of course), his SF story The Haunted Mesa, and one or two others of his giant output. In some odd ways he reminds me of Heinlein -- that "truly American" spirit of independence and "can-do" attitude.

I wasn't in the field then, so I don't know; I've only heard that story. You wouldn't think two characters, "19," would cost that much in memory. Of course the year was probably repeated many many times in each program, so maybe it added up?

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 10, 2026 07:10 AM (wzUl9)

104 ... It was therefore very important for programmers to minimize usage.

Since computers only gained wide usage in the 20th century, programs could simply prefix "19" to the year of a date, allowing them to only store the last two digits of the year instead of four.

As space on disc and tape storage was also expensive, these strategies saved money by reducing the size of stored data files and databases in exchange for becoming unusable past the year 2000.

This included the recommendation that the COBOL picture clause should be used to specify four digit years for dates.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere

This is correct. Punch cards had a limit of 80 characters. Additionally the culture then and now, still uses the last two digits to indicate year when writing years out.

I don't think I have seen anyone write a check with the century.

In that day, programmers didn't think that the code they wrote in the '70s would survive into the new millennium.

The irony is that the savings of reducing the date storage size by 25% across millions of records in 1965 was blown away by the hundreds of billions later spent for Y2K

114 I have a suspicion that speed was also an issue with the year. There was a whole bunch of optimization performed that we wouldn’t even think about today because it would be pointless, that wasn’t pointless then.

If every instance of the field begins with 19, why put the 19 in? It slows sorting, it wastes memory, and it is unnecessarily duplicative.

We’re going to get a new computer system and a new database software next year anyway. Filling out the 19 when we have to won’t be a problem.

And then someone decided to use special values to signal conditions not related to the year: zeroing out the field to mean a loan has been paid off, or entering a particular impossibly low number to mean that the value is unknown…

The specific server your VPN was connected to at the time might be on Apple's "naughty" list. Did you try swicthing to a different VPN connection before shutting VPN down altogether?

118 Wasn't just COBOL. RPG, at least where I was working, also used a lot of 2-digit years and we scrambled to get that stuff changed in time for the century shift. And we were still finding infrequently used routines that we missed a year or two later when they went fubar.

Y2K fizzled because a lot of people spent a lot of time fixing the year issue before it switched over to 2000.

124 Memory was expensive back in the days of punchcards, COBOL, and mainframes. That, I understood, is why the programmers were instructed to code the year as only the last two digits -- thus leading to the rush to fix those programs as the year 2000 approached.

I know a gubbernmint agency who back in the 70s stored only the last digit of the year, in order to conserve DASD disk space.

Then along came the 80s.

So they wised up and converted their stored date fields to 2 digits.

Of course, because of Y2k, they had a lot more to convert by the time the mid-late 90s came around.

128 It's like car manufacturers saving a few cents on a car part. Sure it looks good, works ok, and will only last 20 years, but who keeps a car that long? We will save millions on that ball joint.

I ask the guy who puts on ceramic coating, how long will the application last. He says "depends on you" meaning how I treat the vehicle in the interim.

This is so true. Studies have shown as much as a 60% decrease in vehicle maintenance and depreciation due to simply garaging the vehicle rather than leaving it outdoors overnight.

A 1995 Jeep stored indoors kept the original paint, the interior showed no weather, and the only thing outside normal wear was a power steering pump pulley back when the car had 20k miles on it.

Two XJs stored indoors for over 25 years only needed headliners replaced due to the adhesive aging out.

Not mostly. Mostly they will complain about memory prices and then lease a $2k iPhone. They pay for it in their monthly bill and trade it in as soon as they are "eligible for an upgrade" - which is often before it's paid for, but after they've paid enough to keep its value when the company sells it off to a second-tier market somewhere.

Most people people think their upgraded phone is "free."

Now, heaven help us if we had the same kind of thing happen now, with everyone having told us "No, it's a lot more efficient to control everything over the internet" and "Why do we need a manual backup?" Or 20 years from now when we are being told "It's an AI, what could possibly go wrong?"

They tried to use drones in WWII. They tried radio controlling B-17s to hit certain targets in a kamikaze type of strike; cost one Kennedy his life because they had to have humans do the take off. The German V-1 was a type of drone albeit primitive.

"Tiny" Man Dies While Seeking Large Penis
Influencer Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo Dead at 43 After Undergoing Penis Enlargement Surgery in Thailand

Influencer Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo has died. He was 43.
Ubiribo, who also went by Denisi and Ego on social media, died after experiencing complications from a genital enlargement procedure in Thailand, a U.K. coroner confirmed to TMZ on Saturday, September 5.
According to the medical examiner, Ubiribo suffered a pulmonary embolism during the cosmetic surgery. (A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot is stuck in an artery in the lung that blocks blood flow, according to the Mayo Clinic.)
The businessman allegedly had 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at an unidentified Thai clinic in March, per an Inner West London Coroners' Court inquest obtained by TMZ.
In case there is any question, Tiny's procedure is not ONT approved and Ace of Spades disclaims any adverse consequences from any medical advice given or implied on the blog or in the comments.

NYS Fair pays $40,000 to keep $1 potato booth alive with new vendor

Every summer, tens of thousands of New York State Fair visitors willingly stand in one of the fairgrounds' longest lines for something they could make at home: a $1 baked potato.
This year, they'll be getting it from someone new.
Tully's Good Times has been selected to take over the potato booth in the Horticulture Building after longtime operator Wahid Akl decided it was time to move on, ending an era for one of the fair's most recognizable food traditions.
The change comes after the fair sought applications this spring from existing concessionaires interested in operating the booth.
Why did Akl decide it "was time to move on"?

Akl said the decision to give up the booth came down to simple math. Running the potato booth required about 30 employees working two shifts each day of the fair, he said.
While the booth routinely served tens of thousands of customers, the signature baked potato remained locked at $1 as labor and food costs continued to climb.
"We had 30 employees, two shifts," Akl said in an earlier interview with syracuse.com. "You need to serve, clean up the dining room, make sure everything is running. We had a great run out of it. But with everything getting so expensive... I'm not a nonprofit organization."
So how will the new operator make it work if the old operator couldn't?

The New York State Fair will pay a $40,000 management fee to the operator, cover payroll for booth employees and provide the New York-grown potatoes, according to a document concessions manager Jack Davison sent to vendors in April. The operator must continue selling a baked potato or three salt potatoes with butter or sour cream for $1, a longtime fair tradition. In return, the booth's rental fee is waived.
Oh.

F-117 Nighthawk Needs Fresh Explosives For Its Tailhook Nearly Two Decades After "Retirement"

The F-117 CAD/PAD order list also includes what are described as the "Tail Hook Panel Pyrotechnic Assembly" and "Tail Hook Panel Initiator." These small shaped explosive charges and electrically-initiated detonators, respectively, and are completely unrelated to the F-117's ejection system.
To take a step back quickly, most land-based combat jets in U.S. service today, as well as many in service elsewhere globally, have tailhooks. Unlike their carrier-based counterparts, these aircraft have the hooks for emergency use in combination with arresting gear installed on runways on land.
On non-stealthy land-based combat jets, the integration of an emergency tailhook system is relatively straightforward since it can simply be installed externally or semi-externally at the rear end of the aircraft. It is a more complicated proposition for stealth designs where a hook protruding, even partially, from the underside of the fuselage would negatively impact the jet's radar cross section.
Who new the F-117 had a tailhook (I mean other than every Moron except me)?

26 Evening, all.

I probably won't make the cut for today's interview for reasons that are quite sensible but get me upset at the person who wrote the job listing for leaving out crucial information.

Also got the word another fell through.

So... down to the one I interviewed for a couple Fridays ago, and a couple others that I'm waiting to hear whether they want an interview.

Praying hard and keeping my nose to the grindstone.

40 Evening, TRex, and ONT Horde. I'm guessing late '50's to mid '60's for the Gulf tanker. Looks like it might be a '58 International.

Had a cool surprise this afternoon. Stepped out of the garage to wash my hands in the tire test tub. When I came back in to dry them on a towel kept handy, something flew past my head. I'm thinking "bat, or maybe swallow?" Then it perched on top of my welding outfit. It was a merlin, a pocket-sized hawk. It looked at me, and I looked at it, and said "Hello, little Hawk." Then it took to its wings, and flew away.

Are the 10 percent who should be competent managers, supervisors, executing, making things happen, are they up to the task? In the 84 percent, what’s the layabout, criminal, parasitic, predatory percentage now? Even among that 5 percent of high-level leaders, entrepreneurs, how many have submitted to DEI nonsense … answer, about 95 percent … or have embraced assorted covid, gender, climate end-time bullshit?

60 I once held a Merlin in my hands. It flew after a large sparrow, the sparrow went up and over my Vanagon, the Merlin crashed into the big side rear window and was knocked out on the ground. I ran to get a welding glove, called my kids over to see. We were looking at it for a minute, then it's eyes opened, it shook it's head and it flew off like nothing had happened. The sparrow had a good plan.

124 I have the Texaco gas pump signs for Sky Chief and Fire Chief I found in the woods while digging for grubs to feed my turtle. In very good shape with just a tiny bit of rust around the screw holes. I think late 50s era. According to other internet "solds" the premium one can sell for over $300. There were other gas pump parts thrown there, but I left them.

136 I liked to see those really old gasoline pumps, they were elevated clear glass bowls, and would hold maybe 5 or 10 gallons. The gas jockey would pump gas up into the reservoir first, and then gravity feed into the car’s tank. Graduated lines would show the motorist how many gallons were pumped.

Did they make drivers pay first in 1922? When I was young, you pretty much pumped your own gasoline and then went in and paid. I knew I had arrived in the Big City when they didn’t allow that.

Go in first, it’s like a bank vault, only with more security and nothing other than a guy to take money. Then go back out and pump fuel. What a bunch of bullshit

173 Many years ago, we got an ISDN line installed at Jerry Pournelle's house, known as Chaos Manor. ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

You may be right. But every adult US citizen includes a whole lot of people who don't pay dick to the IRS.

Posted by: JackStraw at September 09, 2026 11:38 PM (viF8m)

I'd argue that it's an awesome political message, while making a realistic moral statement about a large segment of the electorate. Politics is all about winning. We've been playing catch up with the Dems since at least FDR.

Voter participation for midterm elections is abysmal. I'd love to see that change organically, and I think this Dallas event was a great step in that direction. Would it be enough? History has not been kind to incumbent Presidents, and people still vote their pocketbooks.

I don't love the idea myself, but I'll smile like Harry Reid if it works...

How much did Obama give Iran?

How many dollars of equipment did Biden give Afghanistan?

How much has Clinton's, Loral gift to China cost us?

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others

Obama: $1.7 Billion, but unlocked $100-$150 bilion in frozen assets

IceKingJoe: $7.1 Billion

Loral: It was not a "gift" from the administration, but rather a commercial export control violation. In 2002, the Justice Department and State Department settled the case with Loral, requiring the company to pay a $14 million civil penalty for violating the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

Remember who did this, yes, the above, but what's on the horizon, coming -- the answer is where LIB values really stand:
1. They Reward the Guilty
2. They Punish the Innocent
3. The Champion, the mediocre, the Unworthy, the DEPRAVED on the basis of their Depravity.

This is the reason why AOC could possibly be considered viable LIB presidential material, but adjacent to that is one greater: H.Biden which masterfully checks all the boxes.

AOC would have to transform into She-Hulk to beat him on those metrics -- and seriously wouldn't we all like to see that?

Speculation that they didn’t understand the scope and hoped it would be enough to topple the government, but not too bad.

ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

There were products for SMTP, NNTP, FTP, Gopher, even HTTP. Of course he ran his own BBS as well. He was really excited when he got an ISDN installed at his home. I'm pretty sure it was expensive.

294 Just got a jury summons for early October. It said the expected trial length is 2-4 weeks. Maybe I should not make TxMoMe plans?

The only other time I got a letter, I went to the courthouse and sat in a room with a bunch of people, but I didn't get selected. I don't know why. It was something about medical malpractice.

Being self-employed and billing by the hour, spending 2-4 weeks on a jury would be very expensive.

Actually I've heard that it's hard to be picked if you come across as rational and intelligent. So I've always wanted to serve. And this Lindsay Clancy story makes me think we should take our duty seriously.

303 Ench's-- helps to have leftover chicken for easy shredding, or could use canned... cook up some rice; add sautee'd peppers & onions; seasonings to include cumin, cilantro (or basil if you have the *soap gene*), s & p, crushed garlic... heat it all up together & add cheddar and m.jack cheeses. Put ~ 1/2 cup filling into each of 10-12 pre-warmed corn tortillas and roll up.

Put enchilada sauce (canned or homemade) on bottom of 9x12 pan, put in rolled tortillas, top with more sauce and more cheese-- bake 350 for 20 minutes or until heated thru and cheese bubbly.

318 173 Many years ago, we got an ISDN line installed at Jerry Pournelle's house, known as Chaos Manor. ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

45 Same. I just remember one where the robot ejected one arm for some tactical purpose and flew off which would add up to some real money. Another was one dude concealed his 80 foot robot under a tarp on a huge wide truck in Siberia. I doubt there are a lot of roads that wide anywhere, much less Siberia.

Being an Iowanian I really should know a lot about cattle. But I don't. They do a lot of grazing on National Forest land.

One minute, no cows. Next minute, many cows. They do respond to "Git!" and "Yah!!!" pretty well. But they don't have much, or any, long term memory maybe.

Out of 80,000 possible acres of grass, the grass just under your trailer or camper or pickup, why, that's JUST the perfect, tender stuff. They can be quiet when they want to be. And I thought they laid down at night and went to sleep. Not necessarily. They look kinda spooky in flashlight. Green eyes, spaced really far apart.

I have some of their cousins in my freezer right now, so I try to cut them some slack.

140 Okay, reading the 3rd party installers, they recommend a boosted feed rather than a direct 12 volt feed in the field. Long cable runs, voltage drop, can run into instability or startup reboots. Sort of makes sense.

148 Well, right. 100ah battery has been standard, like forever. It's easy to convert in the head on power draw.

The Starlink mini does draw quite a bit right at startup, that's why it can have problems with a direct battery feed. Voltage sag. It needs steady juice of sufficient current to complete the boot up.

The more I learn about it, I just want to pay somebody to install the whole damned thing. I'm too old to screw around with all the minutae any longer. LOL. That's why the installers get paid the big bucks.

No, for straight DC battery power, the ampere-hour, or milliamperes is all ya need to know. As the voltage drops, the current draw increases, this is true.

But it's still straight arithmetic, and easily grokked. They just don't want to be too clear on their battery capacity in the advertisements. It's obvious.

My BIL who lives outside of Nikiski (basically, nowhere) uses both a windmill and solar panels to charge his batteries in case of an outage. We don't get much daylight in the winter, so wind makes a fair amount of sense then. He has always had plenty of power to run the house and appliances when the power takes a digger. He also has it all computerized and monitored remotely so when they are out of state he can make sure all is working correctly.

No panels make their max rating except under perfect perfect conditions. The best I've seen out of four of my current 400w panels was about 1400w, and that didn't last long. Expect maybe 80-90% on good days.

Those panels were $250 each. They are big but do make free electricity, after you get done paying for the panels, that is.

208 Solar panel → portable power station → Starlink Mini

Expect the Mini to use roughly 25–50 watts, depending on conditions and activity. A 500-Wh power station might therefore run it for approximately 8–15 hours, allowing for conversion losses and other devices.
usmobile.com
In practice, size the circuit for at least 5 A, preferably with some margin. A 12 V, 10 A fused circuit is a reasonable practical choice.

Two important details:

The vehicle battery voltage may range from about 12.0 to 14.4 V, so the current will vary.
Use the correct Starlink Mini DC cable or a properly regulated cable. Don’t connect bare 12 V directly unless the cable/input specification explicitly supports the vehicle’s voltage range.

At 50 W, the consumption is about 4.2 amp-hours per hour at 12 V. A 100-Ah battery theoretically provides about 24 hours, but usable runtime is lower because of battery type, reserve capacity, temperature, and other loads.

Does kiddo have brackets on front or "invisible" back of teeth? Mine were front, secured to the shaping wire with flexi-bands. (first go-round, was all wired. ouch)

Sometimes the brackets irritate cheeks or lips-- little packages of beeswax can be had, to smoosh over the offending hardware.

That can't be right. Mine will deplete a 3600w power station about 40% overnight if not in standby. It pulls up to 180w running.

There are 1000s on Amazon and some are fine. The good thing about Amazon is you can get them and see what they produce and if they are not up to snuff you can send them back, no questions asked. Just don't expect 100% of the rated capacity, except under the very best of conditions, from any panel.

JUST IN: 38 shot, 8 kiIIed during Labor day weekend in Brandon Johnson�s Chicago>
I saw a headline a couple of weeks ago that Brandon Johnson blamed Chicago's out-of-control murder problem on (say it with me) DRUMPF!!!
Georgetown U. "students" are upset that an orientation program will now emphasize learning and success rather than racial and sexual identity.
College attendees, what would you say you do here?

No more presentations on 'what it means to be a woman on campus [and] person of color in a predominantly white institution'
A Georgetown University student paper investigation has revealed the school's Center for Multicultural Equity & Access "sunsetted an identity-driven pre-orientation program" over a year ago "amid" Trump administration "attacks" on DEI measures.
According to The Hoya, the center's Young Leaders in Education, Advocacy & Dialogue program, aka YLEAD, was changed last August to Total Hoya Readiness: Intro to Vocation and Experience, or THRIVE, which no longer has programming related to identity and diversity.
YLEAD used to "foster dialogue" about "ability, ethnicity, gender, nationality, race, religion, age, sexual orientation, and social class," according to the Hoya's review of the center's archived webpages.
Solene DeGaynor, a former YLEAD participant who later became a THRIVE coordinator, said she was "disappointed" the university moved away from the original program.
"We did a lot of presentations on what it means to be a woman on campus, what it means to be a person of color in a predominantly white institution," DeGaynor said. "That was really helpful in terms of understanding how identity intersects and plays a role in how you operate on a college campus."
DeGaynor added that the new THRIVE is more about "academic success" and "access[ing] to all of the resources" at Georgetown.
Former YLEAD peer leader Dani Scott said YLEAD was "an important support system for incoming students of color and international students," and that it helped students with "all these different identities" navigate a "predominantly white institution."
"It was very much focusing on making people feel safe before they even got there and making sure that they knew that there was community there," she said.
Scott added "I wish that Georgetown has stayed a little bit stronger and truer to the mission that they said that they were creating [...] I feel like potentially there was a robbing of a certain community that Georgetown could have cultivated."

I'm starting to get very black-pilled.
Why are so many anti-white racists married to white guys? Adam Carolla misses a big one here: Francesca Hong, who would only admit a "proximity to whiteness," but this whiteness was so proximal to her vagina that it resulted in a half-white son.

Mexican narcoterrorists have been probing the southern border with drones for a long time. The US had been using electronics-jamming equipment to drive them back across the border.

Now we're using lasers to just destroy them.

Military officials told CBS News in an article published Monday that less than two weeks after it first used a high-energy laser weapon system to down suspicious drones, there has been a roughly 75% decrease in the number of drones probing the southern border in the Rio Grande Valley.
Reports of the new laser system emerged in February after the military used a laser to shoot a Customs and Border Protection drone in Texas, prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to close down more airspace near El Paso.
Military officials said they have since had better communication with the FAA and the system officially debuted last month when the military took down three drones on Aug. 25 and 26.
The military previously used jamming tools to send drones back to their place of origin, but can now eliminate a drone if it feels like a threat from a Mexican cartel.
"When you just send it back and then it comes back up or is defeated temporarily, but the game changer is ensuring that that tool can't be used again against you," Army Col. Robert Felicio, commander of the 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, told CBS News.
Since the beginning of the year, the military has stopped 300 drones officials believe are linked to Mexican cartels, including eleven the laser took down over a span of ten days. It was not clear how many drones the U.S. sees each day.

16 Drone warfare is undergoing rapid transitions from the pressures of war recently in Ukraine, around Israel, and in Iran.

The woman griping about her husband's reaction to her haircut...don't like her. I don't understand people who film themselves doing this stuff. On the bright side I did not have to look for snot shooting out her nose ring.

First, she honestly thinks she's Jennifer Anniston by her stupid facial expressions and mannerisms. ick.I think he married her for her boob enhancements that are fake.

The one time I goofed, badly, a haircut was for The Jennifer when Friends came out. I accidently asked for a shag and that is what I got. Curly and wild.

My husband and both HS sons, all independently, simply asked, "Why did you do that?" I did weep a bit that night but it was my own fault. Grew it back.

Oh, and feminist weirdo? I wear my hair for myself AND the man I married who met me when it was waist length.

You'd think the cartels would use drones to pursue an Amazon like direct to consumer approach by cutting out the middle men and just sell directly to junkies. At least along the border.

47 Ugh, I watched that stupid woman complaining about her husband.

First, your life is so dull that you think you’re a rebel for . . . getting a haircut that hubby is “meh” on? Wow, you GO GRRRRL!! Way to strike back at the patriarchy!!!!!

Yawn

Second, for most people, there is a limited number of people who truly care about you. She is attempting to gain approval from strangers by publicly alienating the one person who loved her enough to pledge a lifetime commitment. FIX YOUR PRIORITIES, LADY!

C4 is measured in pounds, like civilized people, not that faggy metric shit.

I wonder if we can piggyback that C4 along with a detonator and video camera on one of those Mexidrones for when it returns to the operator. Better yet, with a little bluetooth speaker that belts out the Deguello just before detonating. Failing that, how about "La Cucaracha".

71 16 Drone warfare is undergoing rapid transitions from the pressures of war recently in Ukraine, around Israel, and in Iran. So we are going to see a defense like lasers and a return to other kinetic springing up to defeat drone advances. Then the drones will in some way try to counteract the new defenses.

This.

Pro-tip for anyone who wants to not answer the question when someone ask "Do you like" in relation to what they've done to their appearance: Don't answer the question as it was asked.

Get the spritzer and open wide, yeah. Focus the spay (don't breathe) toward the back roof then yodel or make gargling sounds.

The name suicide drone, and drone swarms and all the rest of the drone wars stuff has been kicked-around in the US military for at least 8-10 years. Earlier today I was skimming through old articles on The War Zone site and all this stuff was in articles going back to at least 2018. The US Navy is now hurriedly-resurrecting a tanker drone system that made it to take off and landing trials on-board a Nimitz-class carrier, at least four years ago. Then it was cancelled. The USAF and USN fighter mafias don't want the things. Hegseth is dragging all the services into drone warfare for real.

Yup. And you can use it for signaling. My last First Sergeant got his Silver Star in VN when he was in a Ranger recon platoon. They were being chased by the NVA and had lost their smoke grenades and VS-17 panels for setting up an LZ to get lifted out. By the time they found a clearing large enough for an LZ it was after dark so he broke open a Claymore and pulled out chunks of C4 to light up his inverted Y to mark the LZ.

I read all of this off of his Silver Star citation in his office while on CQ duty.

I have actually witnessed, in real life, a Chicagoan blaming Indiana for Chicago's gun crimes. There was no explanation of why Indiana doesn't suffer from gun crime like Chicago does even though it would be more convenient for the criminals to commit their crimes closer to home.

"America is Going Down!:" Ahmadrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Speaks At Islamic Extremist Conference Where Terror-Priests Threaten America

Tuq'r Qarlson has one question: Why did the Jews do this?
What is the game they are running on the goys?
Many people are too afraid to ask these important questions. Tuq'r is not.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's speech at a controversial Islamic convention in Detroit this weekend was sandwiched between a video montage featuring a firebrand imam declaring that "America is going down" and a speech from another cleric who said members of Congress who voted for an antisemitism bill were "guilty of treason."
The embarrassing spectacle on Saturday underscored the awkwardness of El-Sayed participating in a conference featuring a rogues' gallery of Islamic extremists including 9/11 truthers and a Holocaust-denier.
The Islamic Society of North America kicked off day two of its annual confab on Saturday with a montage of clips from various convention speakers, including imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
"I am ashamed of what America has become," Wahhaj says in the undated clip. "Look at the newspaper every day, how America is going down."
The montage also showed a clip of El-Sayed lamenting his experiences in the wake of the 9/11 attacks as a "kid with a funny name and an olive complexion."

3,000 Americans dead, Muslims the Real Victims Here.

And it ended with a graphic that included an infamous photo of El-Sayed fist-bumping Hasan Piker, the left-wing influencer who declared that "America deserved 9/11."
El-Sayed delivered his scheduled remarks minutes later and gave a standard campaign stump speech that focused on cost-of-living issues, as well as his experiences as a Muslim in America.
"Muslim Americans, they want to tell us that we don't belong. They want to tell us that this country's not ours, that because of our names or how we pray that we are somehow less than," said El-Sayed.
No, it's not because of your "funny names." It's because you worship a "god" who tells you to kill the infidels -- us -- and you are constantly justifying such murders.
Some people did some things with some planes and some buildings.
Oh, and your piratical cousins steal billions from us when they're not just sponging off us with infinite welfare grifting.

He was followed by Zaid Shakir, a prominent New Jersey cleric, and Cenk Uygur, the host of The Young Turks.
Shakir, who once asserted that "Zionist forces" were behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, railed against the U.S. government over its support for Jews and Israel, singling out a congressional vote to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of "anti-Semitism."
"When the United States Congress passes laws on behalf of a genocidal, rapacious, nefarious foreign country to deny us the freedom of speech ... that is a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States," Shakir declared. "And as such, they are guilty of treason."

...
Both Uygur and Shakir have embraced conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks, in which 2,977 Americans were killed by al Qaeda operatives.
"I no longer believe [sic] official 9/11 story," Uygur said in February. He also promoted the "dancing Israelis" myth, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that posits that five Israeli spies filmed and celebrated the terrorist attack. "I didn't know we arrested Israeli spies who were here to 'document the event,'" wrote Uygur.
And Shakir has called for an "examination" of what he described as "glaring weaknesses and inconsistencies" in the official 9/11 narrative. He has urged followers to read the works of David Ray Griffin, a leading 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has argued that the United States orchestrated the attacks. And Shakir asserted that the U.S. government used the attacks to "launch a war on Islam." Shakir, who in a discussion on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 stated that he was "extremely anti-American," has also called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.
In a 1992 treatise, Shakir asserted that "every major Muslim political gain" in modern history was brought about by "extrasystemic political action"--including guerrilla warfare. He cited the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the "armed struggle" that led to Taliban control of Afghanistan.
A copy of Shakir's pamphlet was discovered in the apartment of a suspect in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the New York Times reported in 2006.

11 Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba insisted on Wednesday morning that his nation would not participate in any event without approval from Charles, adding that he felt motivated to quash 'that Harry-Meghan nonsense'.

The move came less than 48 hours after the King outlined in a letter that the duke and duchess are still not working royals despite the couple relocating to the UK a fortnight ago.

The letter was said to have blindsided Harry and Meghan, who claimed they did not have enough time to clarify the King's points before the guidance was released to the media.

And the Sussexes have now reportedly blamed Uganda's decision to withdraw from the Invictus Games on the letter, which was released on His Majesty's instruction by his Lord Chamberlain on Monday.

A source close to Harry and Meghan told ITV News tonight: "Intended or unintended, this is clearly a consequence of the Lord Chamberlain's guidance regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was rushed out without consultation on Monday.

Sadly, the only people who will suffer are the Invictus Games competitors."

Because commie cocksuckers have the same goal of the total destruction of Western Civilization. The difference is that the mohammedans have a plan for what happens afterwards.

I'll admit to being vastly amused by the fact that one of the first steps in the after-plan for mohammedans is to line up the commies against a pock-marked wall... like Khomeini did after the mullahs took over in Iran in '79.

Something's gonna pop from all this build up, and it's not the zit AOC is sitting on. Nor the hemorrhoid of Talarico from his extracurriculars (which is another word for an enlarged and flappy orifice).

I need to go both be productive and decide if I am going to the blasted nursing reunion on the 11th at a pub. As an anthropology study mostly. I'm tired but this should perk me up at the thought of snark collecting. Will take mental notes.

All will be raving liberal grey haired wimmen but me. I want to swan in, so will probably go and hope for the best in energy that day as I am currently depleted.

Elon Musk's America PAC has opened its 2026 midterm ad campaign with a barrage of ads centered on trans issues.

They are running online and across streaming platforms, marking the first coordinated trans-focused push of the cycle from a major Republican-aligned outside group

46 ‘ The embarrassing spectacle on Saturday underscored the awkwardness of El-Sayed participating in a conference featuring a rogues' gallery of Islamic extremists including 9/11 truthers and a Holocaust-denier.’

As I mentioned before, this is great news because it shows how this weirdo twerp hasn’t locked down his rabid commie jihadi base yet.

No sane candidate would risk the devasting oppo to come out of speaking at this Thunderdome conference of jihadi lunatics … unless they were worried they still had to appeal to those lunatics.

We got this seat, my friends. Long way to go, I know, and the GOP can fuck up a blowjob from 25-year old Heidi Klum, but … we got this.

Want to tell you?

You are the turd in the punch bowl, Uncle Pervy at the family reunion, the greasy fart in the elevator, the rabid dogs that terrorize the neighborhood, the loudmouth who demands to watch Heidi reruns at a Super Bowl watching party, the disgusting substance stuck on the bottom of a shoe, the idiot drag racing all night on the street in front of the house, the Canada Geese at the playground, the grinding noise in the engine, the cat yack or Legos on the pathway to the bathroom at night, the bum wheel on the shopping cart, the noisy Jack Russel terrier that the retarded neighbor leaves out all night, the TSA agent who had a fight with his wife before coming to work, the deer flies in the camping tent, the software update that kicks in during your executive level presentation...

No one wants you, we don't want to see you, hear you, smell you; we don't even want you to know we exist.

Go away. Forever.

I light up rooms and fireworks normally from sparks. Defeated by sinuses, sadly. I shall prevail somehow and light up that pub on Friday.

I think it stinks that it's on 9/11 but I did not plan this deal. I was not going to pay money to tour the hospital or university to see the teaching manniquins, thanks. I chose the pub dinner.

There's also a falala to visit an unsuspecting former professor who had a stroke. I hope this does not make it worse for her as she was the best one. I'm not going to be a part of that wahoo.

I know there will be name tags. I should put a fake name on mine like Hot Lips, but I look almost the same and it wouldn't work. Plus the minute my Southern accent blurted I would be found out toot sweet.

80 A guy in my fellowship had a dad with a plan ... for when the blacks attacked en masse. He would get his armed kids on the four corners of his house (I assume with reinforced walls, or at least sandbags) to fend off an attack from any approach. He also helped his son and me get our first handguns.

Of course that was New Orleans, and there had been "race riots" around the country. But it is still hard for me to imagine we will go so far down the "shoot the enemy in the streets" path to where we have to be that defensive.

Being remote on a farm, I'd be pretty easy to pick off while spraying my weeds, or doing anything outside. But I did move to a conservative area of Illinois last century, so maybe they'll come for me last ... and "we" can overwhelm the lunatics before they get here?

I think they typically mean in a quiet way, not as the life of the party.

It appears to me that Father Time treats our personalities like a sculptor, shaving off all the material that is not the shape he sees beneath. Each becomes more purely his or her self; those who collect peeves become made entirely of them, while the generally kind let go of what few grumps they had.

So I think those obituaries are simply referring to the latter kind of old people, who instead of losing their ability to enjoy small pleasures, have lost their ability to be bothered by small troubles.

141 The central problem with the GOP foreign policy is that it has no real hawks.

On the left end of the GOP you have people like Chuck Hegel who want to avoid war and turn everything over to the UN, which BTW always ends up including completely domestic issues like guns as well.

Go a little bit to the right and you get the neocons, who want to fight wars for strategic reasons, but don't have the stomach to win them outright... and who also want the government to have the final say on who is good enough for the Second Amendment, or even the First Amendment. Because you know, we can't let the terrorists win.

Go further "right" and they want war all right: with Israel, the nation actually on the front line, because they ain't afraid of them damn Joos. And although they will swear that they love the Second Amendment, they never seem to put it on the same level as their obsession with the Joos, and they ultimately end up de facto supporting mass immigration, including illegal immigration, which will guarantee the nullification of the Bill of Rights. In any case, they are openly cheering the jihadists and the Democrats now.

Left Agitates for Killing People in the Streets for Socialism
James Talarico's "Pastor" Says He Wishes the Butler Assassin Had Been "More Successful"

Jonathan Turley:

"You better get ready for ... war." Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a "Big Tent Party," socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.
In Chicago, radicals gathered for a conference on Marxism during what many view as the heyday of socialism in the United States....
Speakers in Chicago used the conference to push supporters to the next stage in the movement, including some openly calling for violence and the end to capitalism.
University of California Santa Barbara History Professor Butch Ware said Democrats "must be destroyed" and urged attendees to be ready for "war in the streets." Notably, in postings on X, Ware has said that candidates such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed are too restrained and are being pushed by the establishment "to contain radicalism."
The professor "of Africa and Islam" whose faculty page is appropriately found under "bware" is the latest radical to dismiss the "Big Tent Party" rhetoric of establishment figures like Schumer. He declared, "The Democrats cannot be reasoned with. They must be destroyed." There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: "You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons."
...
Hasan Piker has called for a purging of moderates from the Democratic Party.
Just last week, Darializa Avila Chevalier declared, "A big tent doesn't pay your rent, lower your grocery bill, or take on the corporations bleeding our country dry. Democratic socialism does."
In a video posted to X, Professor Ware called for violence, warning followers that "some of these clickety-clack revolutionaries have never been in a f*cking gunfight." He menacingly added, "Y'all ain't nowhere near ready for a war in the streets. You better get ready for both kinds of war if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready."
...
Notably, this is the same university that saw a professor lead her students in physically assaulting pro-life advocates on campus years ago. Despite pleading guilty to criminal assault, she was not fired and later honored by the University of Oregon for her inspiring leadership.

I watched the first bit of the video short.

While that pastor may look like a man, it has the voice of a woman.

I wouldn't presume the gender on this one.

Also, in the video, the pastor admits their 'church' is mostly atheists and agnostics.

For such a one, there is a higher standard that God holds them to, as prescribed in James 3:1, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Hebrews 13:7 and more.

The old ladies at the church will tell you, priests come and priests go, but the Church remains for us. The same is true of Popes. Catholics have always withstood bad Popes, through the centuries. Hell, we've withstood not having a Pope because the idiots in the Curia wouldn't vote on one. Popes are not the Church, just like bad priests are not the Church. I could never abandon the Mass and the Sacraments, and neither of them depend on the sanctity of the priest offering them. They are the way Jesus comes to us physically, and I just could never leave that fountain of grace and mercy.

YMMV.

I go to religious services rarely, but the last few occasions I did were officiated by a female pastor or a female rabbi. Excellent at what they did.

Agreed. Some of the women Episcopal priests I've had were outstanding, and some of the men were hopeless at best.

Well, why have them if you aren't going to talk to them? Sorry, I'm Catholic, and we believe the Saints are called saints because they are in heaven, and see Jesus face to face, as it says in the Bible, so there's no reason why we can't ask them to intercede for us, just as we ask others on earth to pray for us. What's the point of having a saint if they are just there standing around?

I understand the notion of idolatry, but that's not what we do since saints are clearly not God, so it is a bit difficult to understand from my viewpoint.

The general theme is that when you think you have subcritical metals, meaning metals which don't have enough mass to go boom or melty or otherwise Bad... you aren't taking into account the water in the human body. To a plutonium core, you're just a walking bag of water. Water reflects neutrons and, before reflection, often slows the neutrons down for a bonus.

The question was this: You babysitter cancelled at the last minute and who would you leave your kids with? On reddit!

Most people say Hitler.

No one says Clancy or Diddy. A few people say Bin Laden.

In spite of the liberal wimmen spew even insane reddit people don't like Clancy or her bird of prey face. She reeks evil to me.

258 100 burpees at the end of class?

Oh I love a good burpee! I don’t have any in this class - I am teaching cardio after 2 strength training classes, I am insane.

259 My impression is that the bruthas need to be in point blank range to shoot each other. Anything beyond 20 feet is more or less safe.

261 Went with my Brother and his Family to Mass and the Priest was a former North Korean that found God and became a priest. I found him very interesting. Also I love that if I attend Mass in Iceland, France or Hungary it will be the same.

263 We're approaching the time frame where the little murder cults show up. Those of you old enough to remember the Socialist organizations who used kidnapping, murder, and maiming back in the 70's have a better idea what's coming.

Back then, law enforcement was all to willing to take them apart. But, this is a more complicated time (where certain crimes are rewarded, encouraged, and overlooked depending on ideology). It will be interesting to watch what happens when private citizens enforce the "law."

266 Protestantism started as a reaction to the Church in N Europe

Absolutely none of that is true. Luther explained his reasoning on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg.

You might hate Luther, but it is not a reason to lie about Protestantism's confessional origins.

Now the anabaptists, Waldensians, Hussites and Lollards also broke from Rome for doctrinal reasons. Rome ended up murdering Wycliffe for daring to bring translations of the Scriptures to the people.

268 No doubt there are some very seriously trained and experienced democrat-communists out there but IMHO I would put that figure at no more that 10%. When conservatives start shooting back the communists "army" will collapse but for those individuals.

If all the bruthas simply stopped shooting each other, and instead trained their guns on Whitey, then we could easily wipe them out and take control of America in a matter of weeks.

I had a good laugh over the young ghetto thug who had a tic-tack video up a few years ago where he was all "bring on the National Guard, bitchez. We gots switches, we'll kill 'em all."

272 12 I think that pastor is going to face some harsh realities when she/he/it stands before the Lord God Most High. I hope she/he/it repents and turns back to Christ before then, but hardened hearts seem bent on destruction.

Good to see you.
Don't think she's going to see the Lord.
She's going to go straight to jail.
Her ticket's written.

That was happening before LBJ.
When they stop paying people not to work it will start happening again.

274 Bilal was the name of a black slave convert in Mohammed's time. Lots of black converts take that name.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia

That's always amused me. That black American converts to islam shed their Western names - calling them "slave names" - and adopt the names of literal slaves instead.

275 Protestantism went to afterburner when the Northern European monarchs and principalities saw it as an opportunity to steal Church property through expropriation and royal authority. The "Stripping of the Altars" was a revolutionary event that made a lot of people very, very rich.
Posted by: mrp at September 09, 2026 05:15 PM (rj6Yv)

St. Francis was opposed to the Church’s accumulation of material wealth. Had he not stayed within the Church, he no doubt would be described as having mental and emotional ills. Jan Hus certainly was treated as a heretic and the Holy Roman Emperor’s promise of safety was nullified by that presumption. Luther too might have burned were it not for the protection of certain German princes. The Church needed reform, but wanted money more. The Protestant Reformation was inevitable and bloody. And of course, “the” Church had already split and anathematised the Orthodox Church, which has the same claim to originality as “the” Church. The Protestants claim to be the true church as well. My church says both the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed which recognizes one true catholic church. Note the lower case “c” in catholic.

They did that. By the 1950s there were huge swaths of black owned businesses and communities.

This was the real impetus for “The Great Society” Welfare, and Drugs. It was an op.

278 When did we stop putting commies in the clink? We used to do that, didn't we? Obviously, we need to reinstate that practice.
