After Treasonous RINO Cucks Sell Out Conservatives to Make a Deal with Democrats on DHS Funding, Democrats Reject The Deal They Proposed and Were Granted, Sensing Weaknes and Demanding Still Further Concessions
It's almost like negotiating with the Iranian Mullahs.
And it will also take shock and awe to defeat them.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ DHS funding deal is falling apart. Senate GOP offered to fund all of DHS, except ICE's deportation wing (ERO). Dems just countered and demanded additional concessions, they want major ICE reforms (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc). GOP says why would we agree to reforms for an agency being defunded? Dems had an offer on the table to carve out ICE's removal operations, and fund everything else within DHS, and they are saying no. They are demanding ICE reforms for an agency they aren't going to fund. GOP saying no. And the shutdown continues - now on day 40.
Stephen L. MillerIf you want to know why we can't just end the filibuster -- say hello to Utah Senator John Curtis, who is taking Adam Schiff's position on deportations, surprising the CNBC host who said he expected he'd be arguing with Schiff, not the Republican. Curtis says the following: 1, We need "compassion" in handling illegal alien criminals 2, We need to grant amnesty for anyone who "merely" violated our immigration laws for 20 years (and he seems to think that identity theft should be considered an "oopsie" as well) 3, We never settled on what the punishment for illegal immigration is -- yes we did, it's deportation plus jail time for additional infractions, as Black Conservative Perspective points out -- so it's unfair to punish any of the illegals for committing crimes. He refuses again and again to endorse deportations of any kind. He just keeps avoiding the question by talking about "compassion."
@redsteeze "Dems had an offer on the table to carve out ICE's removal operations." This is 100% about keeping illegal migrants in the country. Nothing more.
Your GOPe, everyone. Still in charge, somehow. Maybe it is time to burn it all down.
Sheridan Gorman's own student newspaper has issued an apology -- for calling the criminal foreigner who murdered her an "illegal immigrant" instead of a "resident."

I am starting to suspect that the story about Jose Medina is worse than what we've been told. The "tuberculosis" isolation keeping him out of court is suspicious--and this photo (if it's him) could raise the possibility Sheridan's execution was part of a gang initiation.

Instapundit had a good post on the number of rapes in Europe, which has already adopted the compassionate immigration policy Curtis favors:

I emailed my ostensibly Republican senator from Maine - telling her to sh*t or get off the pot with regards to Thune's failure theatre.
The ongoing shut down is simply too ripe an opportunity for the Republicans to prove just how bipartisan they are.
If I were an ICE agent, I'd be looking for dual citizenship somewhere like Argentina or something because we know when these f*cking dickless idiots lose to the Democrats in November and then in 2028, those poor agents will be the first ones paraded to the gallows by a Robespierre-like mob of leftists with their hands on the levers of government.

The answer is graft paid by the contractor.
Meanwhile...
TSA line wait times at Houston Hobby Airport (mostly a Southwest hub these days) have been less than 10 minutes all day long, so far this week. That's good because I'm flying out of Hobby tomorrow.
At the much larger Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport, wait times on Monday were four hours most of the day. Today that's been cut in half. Why? I don't know. Why longer wait lines than at Hobby Airport? I don't know.

Mostly false. We teach that Jesus is a spirit child of God the Father, as are all of God's children, including Lucifer. Lucifer was a prominent child of God, but lost his inheritance when he rebelled against God, was cast out, and became Satan. Satan is not Jesus' brother, nor is he our brother, he lost his inheritance.
Brigham Young preached that Adam was God.
Yes, but it's complicated. BY thought out and developed this theory over a period of about 30 years. You can find quotes from BY where he specifically says he does NOT believe Adam is God.
Oh, and God has a wife.
Yes. I personally believe this is a beautiful thing.
And God didn't create the universe.
We believe a sort of creatio ex materia rather than creatio ex nihilo.
He was a man once.
Nope. We believe God has a body, but there is no canonized doctrine on how that happened. Joseph Smith talked about one possibility, but it's not canon.

Trump vetos EVERY piece of legislation until DHS is funded, in full, and the SAVE Act is passed to Sen. John Kennedy's exact specifications.
ICE becomes a permanent fixture at airports.
Further, Trump will encourage and endorse the primarying of any Republican unwilling to put the agenda forward including even speaking about Amnesty in any form or opposing ICE, even after he leaves office.

Does this case remind anyone of the "Kate" Steinle murder in San Francisco, 2015? Ms. Steinle was walking on a pier with her dad when the shooting occurred and it, too, was often described as a "in the wrong place at the wrong time" occurrence.
What was he verdict, you ask? In November 2017, a jury acquitted García Zárate of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and involuntary manslaughter. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a conviction that was later overturned on appeal (though federal charges followed).
(Thanks to AO Overview in part.)
The case became a national flashpoint, heavily cited by Donald Trump and other politicians to criticize "sanctuary city" policies and illegal immigration.
As I harp, the Dems. have no F***ing plans other than to keep repeating what has worked in the past because they know how stupid the average voter is.

You Don't Hate the Media Enough: The Same Media That Claimed Biden Was Sharp as a Tack Now Claims That Trump's Aides Hide How Badly the War is Going From Him
Flashback: Biden meets with his Secretary of Covert Egg Deployment
NBC "News," which totally has tip-top sources close to Donald Trump, claims that aides have to hide the actual state of the war from Trump and only show him a highlight reel of successful bombings/missile strikes to make him happy, because he's retarded at an atomic level. And he just doesn't understand why people don't understand how well the war is going -- because his aides hide the awful truth from this senile moron. The public does not in fact know how well the war is going, because the media only reports false claims from Iran PR officers, because they know their audience consists entirely of Retarded At An Atomic Level shitlibs who would freak if they knew the war was going well. Sooooo... I guess half-credit to NBC for getting the gist of the disconnect right? Ed Morrissey:
Somehow, the president who did all of this in less than a month is being isolated and misled by his aides, according to NBC News:Note that the media just accepted the claims of Iran's PR ministers that they are not begging for a cease-fire and Trump is a big fat liar -- only to have to admit 48 hours later that they had been water-carriers for Iran yet again, and that Trump was telling the truth.
Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said. The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of "stuff blowing up." The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn't the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He's also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said. But the video briefing is fueling concerns among some of Trump's allies that he may not be receiving -- or absorbing -- the complete picture of the war, now in its fourth week, two of the current officials and the former official said.
Iran's totally winning you guys. That's why the family members of the Regime are fleeing to Russia and Afghanistan -- they're so beautiful this time of year -- and Basij "Morality" Police are refusing to man their checkpoints. Meanwhile, NPR is shocked to discover that Iranians support the American/Israeli airstrikes and know far, far more people killed by Regime thugs than by the airstrikes.
... Trump made the Protection Racket Media look like a bunch of saps. Even worse, it exposed the US media industry as being invested in America's failure if it also carries an opportunity to damage Trump. Having been exposed as water-carriers for the IRGC, now NBC wants to deflect from that revelation by painting Trump as somehow disengaged, isolated, and uninformed, which might just be the biggest case of projection since Thomas Edison invented the motion-picture industry. The most stunning part of this new narrative is its transplantation, root and branch, from the actual reality of Joe Biden's presidency and the media's role in covering it up.
Talking to Iranians who have fled to Armenia, I have heard largely the same. One a few days ago told me: "I don't know anyone who was killed in the strikes. I know 22 people who were killed by the regime in January." https://t.co/JqZz0LjcNk

It's a strange thing - The MSM informs us that Iran had a brilliant pre-conflict contingency plan for 16(?) commanders to act independently in case the US took out their national leadership and the communication nets.
Now we are being told to believe that there is a central authority speaking for the entire country. This is based on pre-recorded video posted on the internet.
Including cardboard-cutouts with photographs taped to the cardboard.
I wonder how many of those possibly "independent" commanders are ready to deal? Give them a deadline?

Iran Issues Its 5 Conditions for Ending the War
Iran lays out five specific conditions under which Iran would agree to end the war, via PressTV. These include:
1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

I've noticed since the 2024 victory, reddit and others (who have no imagaination whatsoever) are using the true stuff about Biden: his dementia, his health, etc to throw at Trump. Right,right, right. Sure.
If I did not despise reddit and MSM so much I'd almost feel sorry for their lack of original ideas.
They don't know any more than I do what is going on with the Iranian war. I simply pray to God that it will be over when it's over (and impossible for them to build up nuke stuff again).Prayers for our military.
I think President Trump is playing diplomacy with the inbreds. They then conclave to see who is in charge, go jihad with each other, and get bombed, but send out their insane 5 Point Surrender Monkey statement before becoming red mist. Rinse. Repeat.

It's also my understanding that it's mostly limited to tankers already in the Persian Gulf as of three weeks ago.
Every one getting out, there isn't one going back in, or at least as many.
Oil is being rerouted to other exits from the region by pipeline and the incoming ships are going around the eastern side of Saudi Arabia.

65 One problem with the Hormuz "closure" is that tankers are paying tolls to the IRGC to get through without getting droned. That profits the IRGC and also Russia.
The "closure" is a side-sanction on the West-allied Gulf states as long as it lasts.
This calculus could change as long as IRGC personnel keep, uh, getting killed before they can enjoy their new wealth. And if Iran loses more materiel to allied strikes.

I think it's even smarter than it appears on first blush. The UK has had an inordinate amount of control over worldwide shipping because of the dominant position Lloyd's has held in maritime insurance for many decades. All they had to do in this case was threaten to cancel insurance of tankers transiting the Strait and ground things to a halt.
Lossing that monoply long term would be a huge blow to the UK's global power.

That's why he said he'd end the Ukraine war in a week: he would have, if the people involved were sand and reasonable. Neither side is. Nothing can be done.

And Kuwait shot down more of our (manned) aircraft than Iran has.
The critics pump up the numbers by including unmanned Reaper drones; about 10 have been lost. It pisses me off since they're expensive, but the US has been known to fly those low and slow over enemy air defenses just to see where the most anti-air fire is coming from.

The Iranians are reduced to attacking civilian areas because their accuracy is not good enough anymore to go after military targets. So they simply spray missiles and drones everywhere including their putative allies like Oman.
Not a winning strategy as Ace noted above, even Lebanon got a missile/drone hit in a residential area. I think all command and control links are severed and whoever is left in these autonomous IRGC districts is simply shooting what they have wherever they can or they risk losing it.

By the way, I think this is the closest we have seen to actual treason, however much that name gets bandied around.

BUT - look at how this war is being conducted. Trump may be talking to the cameras like he wished they were reasonable people, but in actual fact we're still blowing them up and knocking out the leaders we can find. I image the elimination of high value targets has gone done because the survivors have gotten very good at hiding out; I've heard that a couple of them are now staying full time deep inside a couple of Tehran's largest hospitals, confident that those are at least one thing we won't bomb.
And don't worry about backing off the plan to blow up power plants - that was a good threat, but a terrible idea to actually implement. Would have hurt the opposition more than it would hurt the regime, which wants everyone to suffer at American hands.

My guess is a military dictatorship of some kind with a fake civilian government. Basically the same setup as today but without the IRGC in the driver seat but possibly the Regular Army.
High risk though for a civil war as the public in Iran probably wants payback for the thousands of lives lost to the IRGC and their mullah supporters. That makes the command level of IRGC as dead enders. Dunno about the lower ranks but like TSA screeners, I suspect they will start to melt away with no pay.

Mine was when Bidey fell UP the stairs three times. I watched that video a lot more than a normal person should.
It gave me great hope he'd one day fall all the way down AF1 stairs. But then they got him special rubber shoes and he only climbed the short steps. Bummer.
I hoped for eight years for the limp-wristed prissy poncisizer, Obungo, to fall down AF1 stairs and he never did, to my great sorrow.

The battle space is greatly diminished in number of assets. Command and control is scattered. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that capabilities are fully degraded. There is a lot that could still create a bad day for somebody. And it’s not just civilians. They have been walking in their strikes on certain targets and refining the overall targeting processes.

Here's what I don't understand:
The Muslim fundamentalists on their own didn't have the oomph to overthrow SAVAK and the Shah in the late '70s, so they agreed to a coalition with the Iranian communists, and combined, their tow forces/ideologies -- communism, and fundamentalist Shia Islam -- scceeded in overthowing the monarchy, and were supposed to "share" power afterward.
But we all know what happened: The fundamentalists stabbed the communists in the back (literally), massacred untold tens of thousands of them, tortured and imprisoned the rest, and the survivors all had to flee to France and the US. Then the fundamentalist set up of the mullahcracy with zero communist representation.
With all this being true and undisputed, WHY OH WHY does toe modern western Left SUPPORT THE MULLAHCRACY??? If anything, the left should regard the mullahs as their eternal enemies who will never be forgiven. The Left should be dancing in the streets and thanking Trump for finally undoing the betrayal and treachery that happened after the Shah was toppled. But no. Why?

The fact that we have reduced their number of assets reduces the potential for a hit. But if the can light off a bunch and overwhelm defenses it becomes a math game.

Because the wealthy sob donor class benefits from Iran being a bad boy.

Our wealthy WEF types make bank from the inflows and outflows of money and spend a part of it to create their own patronage and political influence networks to keep the inflows and outflows going.
Think of these nasty critters as a global tax on transactions and the more illegal it is, the more that these parasites can make bank by taking higher percentages for the 'risk' of handling money laundering transactions.

Words *should* mean things. If we exterminate the old regime (which looks probable given their proposed terms for peace), the regime will necessarily get changed.
What people should have soured on is specifically the idea of us occupying a country indefinitely, with our soldiers' hands tied behind their backs in the interest of 'winning hearts and minds', while we cobble together a new government. We probably should get a phrase for that other than 'regime change' as it's too broad.

And remind them about that idiot Geraldo went into an Iraqi war zone years ago wearing "Press" on his body armor, and then promptly admitting live on TV that he was carrying a sidearm. Made him an unlawful combatant and subject to summary execution, even if he never pulled the pistol out of its holster.
It'd be a shame if the IRGC treated all journalists on the ground as unlawful combatants and organized firing squads. A shame.

But again, I'd argue their labelling us and Israel as oppressors isn't really the issue. They want to weaken us, as in normal Americans, and Israel and therefore they label us oppressors. The desire to weaken and take from us is the goal, is the ideology, and everything else is built off of that.
As an example - look at Greenland. A European colony in the new world. Apply their model. The Danes are the oppressors and must be removed by any means necessary except...that's not how they approached it is it?

Because enough of those 125k of IRGC and their irregular Basiji are still around in metro areas to kill a lot of civilians.
BTW, Centcom has it at 230 injured, most lightly. The worst injured were primarily from the Kuwaiti logistics center where 6 US Reservists were killed.
The other 7 dead came from the collision of tankers.
Simply put, Iranians don't 'need' targeting info beyond coordinates from Google Earth for bases. Where Chinese or Russian information might be useful would be targeting tankers more than anything.
At the same time, Russia is particularly vulnerable to payback on tankers and oil export facilities as we have more or less controlled range, etc. for US missiles and targeting information given to Ukraine. That too can be turned up. For teh Chinese, hitting tankers simply ups the premium for oil that they pay which is a disincentive to do so.
Both China and Russia giving targeting information is also subject to the degradation of command and control.

There was Saddam Hussein for example. During the Iran-Iraq war, he executed generals who were either unsuccessful (fuck-ups) or too successful (threats to his authority). There was a sweet spot of mediocrity, I guess. Or Joe Stalin, purging the Red Army officer corps before the Nazi attack.

There was a funny year in the 1990s where LaRouchies (who ran as Dems in the Primary) ran a bunch of guys and gals named John Johnson, etc versus the insider Dems who all had Polish and ethnic names and won all the elections aside from Governor.

Drones make that a lot easier today than before if you can man your forces with their own drones. You can see that in Ukraine, it is hard to move large forces about without drawing drones, or called in airstrike or artillery.
But yes unless the collapse is total there will likely need some ground forces, either rebuilt Iranian or allied Gulf State needed to take out any holdouts.

Surprise! Mitch McConnell's Groomed Punk John Thune Preparing Failure Theater Production of "We Tried to Pass the SAVE Act But Goshdarn It We Just Didn't Have Our Ducks in a Row"
John Thune announced that he had a very smart masterplan for passing the SAVE Act. He would -- get this -- not pass it.
Brilliant! Part 2 of the plan is that he promises -- pinky-swear -- he will then add it to a bill via reconciliation. Except... you cannot add non-budgetary matters to a bill through reconciliation. See, the process is called Budget Reconciliation. Measures must have an impact on the budget (supposedly, to reduce the budget) to be added via Budget Reconciliation. So his smart masterplan for passing SAVE by not passing it is doomed to fail, and in fact, is designed to fail. The Senate Parliamentarian will rule the SAVE Act is not germane to the budget -- as everyone knows in advance -- and John Thune will pretend he never thought of that and gee willickers guys, if only you send him more money he could hire better staff to tell him obvious things like this!DataRepublican (small r)If you remember, Mitch McConnell routinely tanked bills that the conservative voting base demanded, but he would tell us that he got us the next best thing to actual legislation -- he got the Democrats to vote "no" on the bill, which is worth more politically than actually winning. John Thune is now selling this snake oil, too.
@DataRepublican Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try. pic.twitter.com/1P7tWIVYBK

I've been thinking for a long time that if there were a true forensic audit of voting - more specifically, vote counting - we would come to realize that deep blue states were actually red. I base this on nothing more than a common sense realization that when one party has iron-clad control of the counting process, it should come as no surprise that that party continuously wins. Not even a variation but a clear example of Stalin's dictum in play.
It's a shame we don't have an institution - like The Press - that makes this one of their investigative goals. And conspiracy minded as I am wont to be, I suspect that they would stampede each other to death doing this investigation if it were Republicans in control of the vote counting process.

1. The Church of England was, apparently, founded in 1534 - somewhat more recent than 1400 years ago.
2. Mullally has 'served' as the Archbishop of Canterbury since January 28th so, while they have had a ceremony, the deed was done a while back.

And all I see is, "The Senate is expected to vote on it." and "Trump wants it passed with DHS funding." and "Thune has a deadline until the Easter recess."
Watching Thune's bit of presser there, he's not talking about up and down reconciliation votes. He's talking amendment votes on the SAVE Act.
So, we're still in the middle of amendment-o-rama, which means debate continues.
I understand the need and desire to keep up pressure, but this is just...the Senate operating on its own timeline which is slow.
We haven't even had a great blowup like the Parliamentarian saying that they couldn't vote on it, or anything.
Just another bit of evidence that the advice to ignore the Senate until the final vote is probably pretty solid advice.

And all I see is, "The Senate is expected to vote on it." and "Trump wants it passed with DHS funding." and "Thune has a deadline until the Easter recess."
Watching Thune's bit of presser there, he's not talking about up and down reconciliation votes. He's talking amendment votes on the SAVE Act.
So, we're still in the middle of amendment-o-rama, which means debate continues.
I understand the need and desire to keep up pressure, but this is just...the Senate operating on its own timeline which is slow.
We haven't even had a great blowup like the Parliamentarian saying that they couldn't vote on it, or anything.
Just another bit of evidence that the advice to ignore the Senate until the final vote is probably pretty solid advice.

Sure, they lose national elections, and the occasional Senate races in red states (GA), but they don't care about that. What they care about -- and the only thing they care about -- is keeping their safe seats safe. They do that with their own versions of voter fraud.
The SAVE act would make that harder to do. So they don't want it.

I agree with you ... but I put SAVE's chances of passing at somewhere between 0.0 and 0.5 percent. That's actually down a bit from my initial prediction of about 2%. I just don't think the GOP has the fucking balls to do this, in addition to all the donor and financial incentives for not doing it.

Just need Collins to fall in line, which she always does when leadership demands, and Vance breaks the tie (notice...Fetterman will not vote for it because he's not on our side at all, just tangential).
The Senate is going through debate, hence the amendment proposals.
Getting to the amendments put the chances at 45-55 at passage vs. failure, I think.

The only further adventures of Middle Earth I care about are those actually written by Tolkien.
Nothing else really registers anymore.
I mean, I adore the Jackson trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. I enjoy his bloated, meandering Hobbit trilogy.
But holy shit do I not care about the upcoming Hunt for Gollum or the Colbert written sequel (I assume he'll take some elements from the sequel Tolkien started to write and then abandoned, though that was set like 70 years after LOTR and in Gondor, and Colbert is writing it less than 20 years later and in the Shire, so elements can come through but not the actual beginning of the story).

If Tillis/McConnell/Murkowski want to screw us over, so be it, but at least make them vote no.
But Thune is trying to shield Republicans who secretly oppose it (including Thune?) from having to vote no.

Tillis (a cosponsor of the bill), Mitch, and Murk could all vote against it, and it could still pass.

But something important that's been obvious, if still stunning, for years: there is no politics any more. Putting senators on the record via amendment votes (primarily) used to be, indeed, important. It was the major raw material for campaigns, ads, themes, etc. It was often painful to watch up close, as I did for years as a staffer, but the purpose was at least clear.
And it mattered. Votes on big issues actually mattered. Now - on the Dem side - it simply doesn't matter, at all. Brain-dead, tribal, mindless and ignorant Dem voters don't know, understand, or even care about real issues. They live in an imaginary cartoon world created and nurtured for them by the (still dominant, of course) "press". On the GOP side there are many tribal dumbed-down voters, but the % is much smaller. Trump is president because on the GOP side, it's at least possible for voters to rebel, change course, etc.

The Dems are blocking funding for, literally, homeland security, during a war with the largest terror-sponsoring state in history, following 4 years in which they threw open the borders to foreign operatives (in itself a security disaster that's unprecedented).
And they can get away with it. Because their voters are that ignorant and stupid and tribal. AND because there is no politics. The GOP has these pathetic little mumbling comments like Thune on Dems explaining their opposition to voter ID.
Actual politics would be a massively aggressive public campaign to savage the Dems for endangering the country, plus retaliation - threaten to cut precious Dem programs by 50% unless full DHS funding is provided, now.
But GOP voters with few exceptions simply refuse to send serious or useful reps to Washington. And almost never dump them after they've shown their (worthless) colors. Eyepatch McCain recently being an extraordinary exception.

Iran Issues Its 5 Conditions for Ending the War
Iran lays out five specific conditions under which Iran would agree to end the war, via PressTV. These include:
1. A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
2. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
3. Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
4. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
5. International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz

I agree with you 100%, and really, I don't do that often, so consider yourself lucky. heh.
But the only thing I can say as far as mixing mediums, is sometimes when a mediocre book has a screenplay written for it that just works, it creates a pretty great movie... yet most of the reverse isn't true. Great books rarely become great (or even watchable) movies...you would certainly know better than me which of them they are, all I know is that any book I enjoyed turned to shit on film...

Their encounter with Tom Bombadil is the hobbits' first respite after their first major brush with real danger (Old Man Willow). He's their "safety net" until they leave the Barrowdowns. After that they are on their own until they meet Strider.

It's a strange thing - The MSM informs us that Iran had a brilliant pre-conflict contingency plan for 16(?) commanders to act independently in case the US took out their national leadership and the communication nets.
Now we are being told to believe that there is a central authority speaking for the entire country. This is based on pre-recorded video posted on the internet.
Including cardboard-cutouts with photographs taped to the cardboard.
I wonder how many of those possibly "independent" commanders are ready to deal? Give them a deadline?

Newly Discovered Records Suggest Fake Special Counsel Jack Smith Broke the Law in Wiretapping Biden's Political Opponents, Including Bugging Trump Associates' Lawyers
Lock. Him. Up.Fishing expedition: Docs expose expansive FBI surveillance of Trump allies, possible illegality Newly-disclosed records show that the FBI twice subpoenaed future Director Kash Patel's personal data while he was a private citizen in a probe that swept up hundreds of Trump allies, including then-future Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Newly released records in the Senate investigation into the weaponization of government raise questions about whether the FBI went on a fishing expedition targeting Trump advisors who were never charged with crimes and whether Special Counsel Jack Smith's prior testimony to Congress was truthful. The documents were made public by Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, before a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing into alleged abuses by the Biden-era FBI and Justice Department in their investigations into then ex-president Donald Trump before and during the 2024 presidential election during its probe code-named "Arctic Frost." Just the News previously reported that Biden's FBI paid anti-Trump 'Sedition Hunters' as informants in the Arctic Frost probes. "If Watergate taught us anything, it is that even a single abuse of power carried out by a handful of individuals can shake the foundations of our Republic," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., Chairman of the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights. "What we confront today, the Biden administration's Arctic Frost scheme, is not a single act," he continued in his opening remarks. "It is a modern Watergate trading a break-in at one office for a digital sweep into approximately 100,000 private communications, more than a dozen senators and 1000s of individuals lives." Cruz said that ultimately, "just like Watergate," the judges, FBI and Justice Department officials involved should be "investigated, tried, impeached, and brought to justice."
...
The FBI's requests for information included demands for highly personal data of Patel's, including Patel's addresses ("mailing addresses, residential addresses, business addresses, and e-mail addresses"), a "call detail record" which lists inbound and outbound calls, text messages and voicemail messages, as well as sources of payment for the phone service, including credit card and bank account numbers. The FBI also demanded expansive internet session data including exact IP addresses, the document shows. The FBI also sought--and was granted--non-disclosure orders (NDOs) from federal judges, shielding the existence of the subpoenas from Patel and his lawyers on the grounds that revealing them could result in his "flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses and serious jeopardy to the investigation." Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's then campaign manager and future chief of staff, was also targeted in the probe. The Biden-era FBI reportedly even went so far as to record a private phone call between Wiles and her lawyer in 2023 while she was actively managing the campaign of President Joe Biden's chief political rival, according to Reuters. The FBI reportedly maintains that the recording was justified on the pretense that her defense lawyer had consented to the recording. However, Wiles' lawyer issued a statement adamantly denying he ever consented to such monitoring, raising the possibility false representations were made to a court for phone monitoring and the now infamous stage-managed raid on Mar-a-Lago. "If I ever pulled a stunt like that, I wouldn't -- and shouldn't -- have a license to practice law," an unidentified lawyer told Axios. "I'm as shocked as Susie."
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Senator Cruz CONFIRMED that Biden’s FBI wiretapped Susie Wiles during a PRIVILEGED CALL with her lawyer without the consent of EITHER party.

To make it HORRENDOUSLY worse, they then tried to HIDE evidence of their actions by marking the file “prohibited.”
This… pic.twitter.com/8WIg9k9ak9
... Sen. Grassley also raised questions about Special Counsel Smith's prior testimony and claims about his investigation, indicating the possibility that he misled Congress. It has not been determined if Patel, Grassley, or anyone else has made a referral to the Department of Justice for criminal action.
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke The subpoena released this morning by Chuck Grassley in connection with the fraudulent Arctic Frost investigation is absolutely staggering. It didn't just ask for Kash Patel's phone records, it asked for everything he did from 2020 to 2023. Just to name a few, they requested all usernames and screen names, every address and email, complete billing and payment details including credit card and bank account numbers, every device ID, and a full log of every call, text, and voicemail showing who was contacted, when, and for how long. They also obtained all internet session data, including the exact IP addresses. So this wasn't just about who Kash called. It was basically a complete view of his entire life, mapping his daily routines, travel, relationships, finances, and even tracking the specific hardware he used. In short, they got a full digital shadow of his life. To have come through all of this without so much as a scratch tells you just how clean he is.
Paul SperryHola! Feliz el Día de la Joroba!
@paulsperry_ NEW: The FBI has found 1.9 million pages of missing records in a secret "hidden room" at headquarters that was maintained by former directors James Comey and Chris Wray, according to a Judicial Watch FOIA. The Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) contains several safes holding the docs, including ones generated from Special Counsel Mueller's investigation.

sorry to barge in and go OT so quickly:
From the sidebar -
"Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book.
Tolkien was an observant Catholic. He chose this date because it is the feast of the Annunciation on the Catholic calendar.
So yes, the day that the Savior was made manifest on the earth plane would be the day the Ring is destroyed.

Enough of the Watergate crap, probably 75+ % of the population have no idea what that was, much less the truth about it.
Which is exactly why it's good messaging to compare Democrat scandals to it. The public has been taught that Watergate was the worst thing since Hitler, and the Dems either have to play along or explain that Watergate was actually a bullshit nothingburger that they used to take down a Republican President.

The comparison is inappropriate. Watergate was a scam on the public, blaming Nixon for doing a fraction of what every President had done before him. It was a railroading, with fixed justice system, dramatic hearings, and a conspiring press. It was NOTHING.
This however, this is a complete undoing of the justice system and rule of law. You are comparing a pimple to lung cancer.

They want to be out of power because their pathetic lives really won't change much, save for the few that will be losing their seats. They're traitors to the base, they're traitors to upholding the civil society we pretend to still live under, they're traitors to the Constitution, they're traitors to their sworn duties as representatives of the people.

It did work, as the bespoke software through which those FBI files are normally viewed had been programmed to not even show the existence of files marked like that, except to a few specific individuals. It wouldn't even show a stub for FOIA searches, the way restricted-access files were normally handled. Current FBI leadership only learned of the existence of that scheme by someone mentioning it, IIRC in a Congressional oversight interview, and then I assume they needed an IT guy to either modify the software or bypass it.

Along with his admiration for his Nazi-loving nanny, and the likely bullshit story of how he got the better of the prison administration after his Watergate conviction. Down to how the other prisoners paraded him around the prison yard triumphantly and howled in celebration when he let out a Nazi salute.

Become a slobbering criminal beast destroying lives of thousands of the innocent, a far greater problem than the original pretext. Because sometimes that's what it takes to see justice done.

The senate has always been the drag on our republic and the place where liberty and constitutional order go to die.
The phrase "saucer that cools the tea" refers to a metaphor used by George Washington, comparing the U.S. Senate to a saucer that cools hot tea, suggesting that the Senate serves to temper the passions of the House of Representatives. This metaphor highlights the Senate's role in providing a more deliberate and measured approach to legislation.

Way back in the 90s, CSPAN was doing a live broadcast of Liddy doing his radio show, back before they had enough documentary content on tap to fill in the air time. The CSPAN camera went live about 15 minutes early, so I got the rare pleasure of watching G Gordon Liddy eating a salad out of the to-go box in the broadcast booth.
Then during his show, he talked about how men with a longer 2nd toe have a bigger penis.

I've been thinking for a long time that if there were a true forensic audit of voting - more specifically, vote counting - we would come to realize that deep blue states were actually red. I base this on nothing more than a common sense realization that when one party has iron-clad control of the counting process, it should come as no surprise that that party continuously wins. Not even a variation but a clear example of Stalin's dictum in play.
It's a shame we don't have an institution - like The Press - that makes this one of their investigative goals. And conspiracy minded as I am wont to be, I suspect that they would stampede each other to death doing this investigation if it were Republicans in control of the vote counting process.

Wednesday Morning Rant
That chart is from Yahoo! Finance, for a major company many have never heard of. That company is called Supermicro, and it builds, among other things, servers for datacenters. It is a big player in server hardware. Unlike some of its competitors, however, it is not a household name. Supermicro is an American company based in San Jose, founded by Taiwanese entrepreneurs. Like most outfits in the datacenter hardware business, it has been going gangbusters in the current AI mania. Given the market environment, why that staggering price decline with surging trading volume on the 20th?
The decline has to do with the indictment and arrest of some of its executives due to allegations of smuggling and violating US export control laws regarding Red China. As you may recall, the US has - since the Biden administration - proscribed the export of certain high-end computer chips useful for AI processing to that country. Trump made that a bit more aggressive once he took office. In the presence of any ban, a black market inevitably forms and it appears that, per the indictment, certain SMCI executives allegedly operated in that black market. Supermicro is not named directly, nor is the Asian company that allegedly helped run the operation. But the people involved are Supermicro people, a "U.S. Manufacturer" is referenced, and the stock tanked as a result.The scheme does not appear to have been particularly sophisticated. From the indictment:
Beginning in or about 2024, certain executives, employees, and third-party affiliates of a U.S.-based manufacturer that designs and builds high-performance computer servers for artificial intelligence and cloud computing applications (the "U.S. Manufacturer"), including YIH-SHYAN "Wally" LIAW, RUEI-TSANG "Steven" CHANG, and TING-WEI "Willy" SUN, the defendants, conspired to divert billions of dollars' worth of the U.S. Manufacturer's servers to China, many of which were assembled in the United States. The U.S. Manufacturer's flagship products - servers integrating graphics processing units ("GPUs") manufactured by Nvidia Corporation ("Nvidia") - are subject to strict U.S. export controls barring their sale to China without a license.
The defendants and their co-conspirators used a particular company ("Company-1") based in Southeast Asia as a pass-through entity to give the U.S. Manufacturer's transactions that they arranged the appearance of legitimate commercial activity and to obscure their China-based end customers. YIH-SHYAN "Wally" LIAW, RUEI-TSANG "Steven" CHANG, and TING-WEI "Willy" SUN, the defendants, worked with and directed executives of Company-1 to submit purchase orders to the U.S. Manufacturer to reserve and purchase large allocations of the servers from the U.S. Manufacturer containing Nvidia GPUs and coordinate their onward transshipment to China. To ensure that the allocations were approved internally at the U.S. Manufacturer, the defendants and executives at Company-1 prepared false documents and records, and transmitted false communications, purporting to show that Company-1 was the end user of the servers. Once Company-1 received the servers, at the direction of and in coordination with the defendants and others, including third-party brokers who worked closely with the defendants to order the U.S. Manufacturer's servers for customers in China, it shipped them to those customers in China. In furtherance of the scheme, Company-1, in consultation with the defendants, used a shipping and logistics company to repackage the U.S. Manufacturer's servers and place them in unmarked boxes to conceal their content prior to shipping them to their final destinations in China
For example, to deceive the U.S. Manufacturer's compliance team, which was responsible for conducting audits of Company-1's purchases of servers to ensure adherence to U.S. export control laws, the defendants staged "dummy" servers - non-working, physical replicas of the U.S. Manufacturer's servers - for inspection at the locations where Company-1 was purportedly storing the servers it had purchased from the U.S. Manufacturer. However, the actual servers from the U.S. Manufacturer had already been unlawfully shipped to China.So that's pretty straightforward. Use "Company-1" as a cut-out, ship them the kit, have them rebox it and sell it on to the actual end purchaser and put on a little show to pretend that they actually have the equipment on hand in case anyone comes to look. Simple, but apparently effective for a while. For long enough to do the old switcharoo with around $2.5 billion in server hardware. In the wake of his arrest and the subsequent dramatic drop in SMCI's stock price, Liaw resigned from Supermicro's board. The company also appointed a new Chief Compliance Officer. And that brings up the other point that is driving some of this price move, namely that Supermicro has had trouble in the past when it comes to internal controls and processes. Back in 2024, Ernst & Young resigned as Supermicro's auditor, touching off - this is becoming a trend - a major stock price fall. When it resigned, Ernst & Young said that it was "unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by the management," along with asserting that the board was the plaything of the company's founder and some other executives and that the company lacked effective internal controls. Before that, in 2020, the company paid a small fine to the SEC over accounting practices. Supermicro has had some ... problems. Now, it is possible that its executives Liaw and Chang will do some time but that is not the only consideration. If the indictment is accurate, SMCI moved $2.5 billion in product to Red China. In all of 2025 (fiscal year ending in June of that year), the company had around $22 billion in net sales. The timing doesn't line up exactly, but it's close enough. Somewhere from 5%-10% of the company's sales came from this alleged scheme to violate US export controls and send high-tech equipment to a sanctioned country. That is a lot of revenue, and too much to be missed. A single outfit sending you a big chunk of your total revenue could not have been a secret. Customers that big are well known. Vendors buy customers like that dinner at least, and often have teams dedicated to them. This fake company wouldn't have had a normal relationship with Supermicro, and people inside Supermicro would have known that. If these allegations are true, it is so unlikely that it borders on impossible that the scheme was not widely known among senior executives and probably within at least the sales and logistics groups. There is a reason that SMCI saw its price fall so dramatically: investors know it, too, and a lot of them got out. All of this, however, invites a question: assuming that the allegations are true, what is an appropriate punishment for a corporation in this case? How does one punish a corporation with controls so bad that it might be intentional, that has played fast and loose with its accounting, and that raked in billions selling proscribed products to a country that is, depending on one's perspective, a rival or an enemy? Jailing its executives would be a welcome change, but is it enough? An organization as corrupt as Supermicro is alleged to be will simply continue as it was. What punishment actually fits the crime, and what punishment can encourage better behavior in the future? Ruinous fines, like "50% of revenues for the past five years, payable over the next ten years?" Nationalization followed by divestiture to new owners after firing everyone with executive authority? Assuming that the allegations are accurate, what is an appropriate punishment for a firm that has a long track record of misbehavior and helped violate - and profited handsomely for violating - major US sanctions?

Neil Young says his “depressing” feelings about the “worst president in the history of our country” are being channeled into a new album.
“I am so hurt for this country. Politics today is sad and depressing for me. I can’t do it anymore. I can go out and demonstrate my feelings about it. We have the worst president in the history of our country. Every day a bad TV show produced by DJT is what we get.”
God, that album is going to be awful.

Children playing in a prayer area at the Islamic Community Center of Hillsboro, Saturday, March 21, discovered a bullet that had struck the mosque earlier that morning, the center said.
No one was injured in the incident.
Leaders at the Washington County mosque pointed out that the incident occurred amid a rise in Islamophobic incidents, according to a recent report from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
...
In its own press release, the Washington, D.C.-based Council on Islamic-American Relations called Wednesday for federal law enforcement to investigate the shooting as a bias crime.
And, never mind...
“UPDATE: Hillsboro police announced Tuesday the bullet likely struck the mosque accidentally.
“Investigators determined the bullet was likely fired from a location approximately one mile away, outside Hillsboro city limits, where individuals were lawfully target shooting,” police stated.
Mosque leaders and local elected officials did not immediately respond to OPB’s request for comments on the outcome of the investigation.

All the lefties keep repeating it as fact.
Along with some variation of "and they're going to massively dominate the AI future 'cause they have electricity to spare now!!"
But China's new claim totally has nothing to do with how China was churning out cheap, worthless solar panels to foist on stupid Americans under the New Green Deal.
Which panels are totally not useless now but were really just repurposed as solar farms.
And not piled up rotting in warehouses until they can find a sucker to off-load them to.
Please keep investing in China.

Pritzker finally crawled out with a statement, but instead of owning the disaster he created, he played the blame game like a true Democrat. In a clip that's making the rounds, he whined: "This has been a terrible tragedy... There have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. That's their national failures — a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst."
What a pathetic dodge. Pritzker signed the very laws that shield illegals like Medina-Medina from ICE. His 2021 sanctuary state legislation ties local cops' hands and blocks federal enforcement. Pair that with the disastrous SAFE-T Act—no cash bail, revolving-door releases for thugs—and you've got a recipe for exactly this kind of bloodshed. Chicago's streets are bloodier because radical leftists like Pritzker prioritize illegal invaders over law-abiding citizens.

Asians are one of the most "racist," elitist, and tribal people on Earth. They all despise each other, often based on centuries-old conflicts and vendettas, and a sense of who is superior. Singaporeans in particular think they are better than everyone else.
If you travel in Asia, you will probably be asked very personal questions almost immediately upon meeting someone. How old are you? What do you do for a living? What car you drive? Are you married?
These questions would be considered way out of bounds in western culture. But in Asian culture, they are a way to figure out where you stand in the social hierarchy, so they know how to treat you.

Missed possibly getting drafted by 5 years -- and I was a dumbass gung-ho patriotic immortal young man.
The first time I played paintball, I immediately sprinted across the field trying to capture the other team's flag and got destroyed (shot at close range a dozen times).
I remember thinking "It's a good thing I never went to Vietnam because I probably would have gotten killed immediately."
By the end of the day, I had learned to strategerize and finally captured the other team's flag and was so excited running back to our compound that I was hyperventilating ... and collapsed for a minute to recapture my breath.

Actually, I really like this painting. His use of shadows and low light is wonderful and sets the atmosphere. Not exactly the Biblical story of regret and redemption. The daughter's pose and expression is comfortably defiant towards her parents and society. That is further emphasized by her flamboyant dress. Her parents' poses demonstrate their surprise and their dark, conservative clothing shows the chasm between their lives and their daughter's behavior. It is very effective.
Maybe it's just me but this looks like it could be an illustration for a story in The Strand magazine circa 1890 but done with better talent.

That the Creator of the universe would not just forgive a self-centered and indulgent son (as well as a self-righteous, performative son,) but dare to shame himself by *running* down the path to embrace and celebrate the return of wayward as having returned from death to life. Incredible. Deep. Moving.

Australopithecus - as the name suggests - was a southern ape. Sabertooth cats' range was in north Eurasia and north America. The 'pithecenes tended to be leopard chow (there's a famous child skull with their tooth marks).
Although the "super archaic" lineage in Neander/Denisovan DNA is intriguing. Someone took it from a Homo Erectus. There's your prodigal daughter right there. Wonder if she'd messed with an Asian orangutan yeti or two before finding a genetic compatible...

Are you guessing? It doesn't look like a wine glass.
You're right to question it — it's not definitively a modern wine glass. In John Collier's 1894 painting "The Prodigal Daughter" the object in her right hand appears to be a small stemmed goblet or chalice (likely a wine or liquor glass) — a shallow, rounded bowl on a short stem. Different viewers describe it as a goblet, cup, or chalice rather than a contemporary tall wineglass.

Neither did grok!
Her right hand is gripping the door handle (or knob), as if she's just entered and is keeping hold of it—ready to leave again quickly if the confrontation turns sour. This detail adds tension to the "problem picture" composition, emphasizing her independence and the uncertain reunion.
No other object (like a bag, fan, gloves, or accessory) appears to be in her right hand based on detailed descriptions and analyses of the work. The left hand isn't prominently described as holding anything either; the focus is on her overall stance and expression.
The painting is a classic Victorian-era "problem picture" that sparked debate about family, class, and the "fallen woman" trope. High-resolution images are available on sites like WikiArt, Art UK, or the Usher Gallery's collections if you'd like to see it for yourself

The Annunciation refers to the announcement made by the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and bear Jesus Christ, marking the Incarnation. This event is celebrated by many Christians on March 25th, known as the Feast of the Annunciation.

Obviously you have more at stake when you can be drafted, but it is interesting the argument was almost never, "This isn't worth the lives of a bunch of draftees" but quickly became "Supporting SV is wrong" - and this matters because even after Nixon ended conscription this held and the US didn't support SV with weapons and support in '75

1903 The Prodigal Daughter and the Problem Picture
By Pamela Fletcher, Professor of Art History at Bowdoin College
In the early twentieth-century, the “problem picture” became a popular craze at the Royal Academy exhibitions. Deliberately ambiguous—and often slightly risqué—scenes of contemporary life, these pictures encouraged eager audiences to offer competing interpretations of the puzzles they posed, both at the Academy itself and in newspaper coverage and competitions.1 John Collier’s painting The Prodigal Daughter, exhibited at the Academy in 1903, was one of the first and most popular problem pictures, sparking conversations about new roles for women and the purpose of art in the early twentieth century (Fig. 1).
A young woman stands proudly—even haughtily—at the doorway of a humble parlour, decorated with old-fashioned prints and a modest round table. The daughter has interrupted her ageing parents at their evening reading, as the father looks up from his book and the mother slightly rises from her chair. ..." (More)

If it’s so obvious, why not cease hiding behind microphones to spew propaganda and instead host open discussions?

It’s so “overwhelming” we have gun that not even the bomb dogs could trace, a magical bullet that caused minimal damage to Charlie’s neck though it would have taken down a bear, and of course, a scene that was paved over the next day.

The Morning Report — 3/25/26
There are only so many ways Democrats can spell out, in the most explicit possible terms, what they plan to do if and when they retake control of the federal government. They’ve spent the last year celebrating the murder of conservatives, raising hell over the most basic voter-ID laws imaginable, and most recently, sabotaging the nation’s airports in order to prevent ICE from doing its job — a plan that may very well work, given that Republicans seem interested in caving at the moment, once again. In short, Democrats are preparing a government that would treat Americans as foreigners in their own country. But just in case their plan somehow wasn’t obvious, here’s Senator Chris Murphy, the Democrat from Connecticut, to spell it out. It’s the “undocumented Americans” that Democrats “care about most,” according to Chris Murphy. Yes, “undocumented Americans.” Simply by virtue of entering this country — illegally, in almost every case — these people become Americans, according to one of the leaders of the Democrat Party. And more than that — they become the most important Americans of all. Democrats will prioritize their interests over the interests of you and your family. And they won’t even pretend otherwise. That interview aired in the final months of Joe Biden’s presidency. It’s only recently surfaced on social media, and for good reason. Democrats are now clearly preparing to wage an all-out war on Americans if they retake Congress and the White House. They’re planning a campaign of retribution against conservatives that will make the Biden years look tame by comparison. This isn’t a guess. They’re saying it openly, in a variety of different contexts. In some cases, they’re rewriting history to justify the purge that they’re planning. Now, it probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone to hear that I believe it’s very important to study history — not the propaganda you’re taught in public schools, but actual history. We talk about various historical topics on the show all the time. . . So here’s a very transparent example of what this means, in practice. Late last week, The New Republic — which is one of those outlets on the Left that claims to be highly intellectual, like the Atlantic — outlined an elaborate plan to harass and imprison Donald Trump and his advisers, once Trump leaves office. This is the Left’s new-and-improved game plan for a new wave of lawfare against Donald Trump. Instead of talking about ways to improve the lives of American citizens, they’re still fixated on retribution. . . . . . What we’re witnessing here is the launch of what Democrats are calling “Project 2029,” after the infamous Project 2025 that became an instant obsession on the Left. . . after losing the presidency in large part because of their lawfare — they’re not simply doubling down. They’re openly admitting that, in their next campaign of retribution, they aren’t even going to use a pretext. They’re just going to throw people in prison — or worse.But, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and with that I give you a potential rope that our own alleged party will sell, or that is give the Democrats to hang us with!
House Republican leaders pushed a vote on extending FISA warrantless surveillance to April after many Republicans spoke up against it. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) expires on April 20. It allows the government to spy on a foreign national suspected of having ties to terrorism. The government can spy on a foreign national even if an American citizen is on the other end of the communications without a warrant (emphasis mine): Although the law requires the government to direct this surveillance at people outside the United States, in practice, it routinely ensnares Americans.So the Grifting Oleaginous Parasite GOP will go to the mattresses for this, but something like the SAVE Act? Not so much. Bastards.
If Obamacare Passed via Reconciliation, Why Can’t the SAVE America Act? . . . There's always a double standard at the heart of Washington, and Republicans never seem to benefit from it, just Democrats. I can’t seem to understand why. DHS has now been shut down for over a month, and a deal is supposedly taking shape. Senate Democrats, after weeks of obstruction, reportedly appear willing to accept funding for most of the department, so long as ICE's migrant removal operations get carved out. Republicans are eyeing a two-step strategy: fund most of DHS through a bipartisan deal, then use a separate reconciliation bill to backfill ICE enforcement funding and advance key provisions of the SAVE America Act — voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements to register to vote.Margh Bar Amrika! in Farsi or in the case of Pritzker, Mars Bars >>>America!
Gov. JB Pritzker’s office offered “thoughts” — no prayers — for the Gorman family, friends, and the “Loyola University community grieving the senseless murder of Sheridan Gorman.” . . . The “heinous tragedies” are piling up thanks to the rotund leftist governor’s political resistance to federal immigration law enforcement.Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Yes, if you enter a blue area and draw the attention of TPTB in a negative way, they will manufacture a charge against you and the populace will fuck you over in a heartbeat to ensure that their side wins.

And what was the outcome of the grand jury? Did it no bill? I bet it no billed. That means that Brennan and Comey were not indicted. Presumably, that's the fault of the DOJ, cuz if they had a man in charge, the overwhelming partisan leftists of DC would have totally indicted a couple leftist politicians.

Also a fair bit of it is in general, GOP voters are not political animals like donks are, our lives are not consumed with politics, so going out and pulling the lever in a special election is not high on the priority list.
If this chick wins the general election then, yeah, it will be a big deal, because the donk brand should be mud, and they should have been cast out into the poliotical wilderness, but does not seem to be happening.

How do you imagine the GOP is going to ram through some kind of voting law that Democrats won't oppose, that they can later revise via reconciliation ? Only the GOP is dumb enough for that.
Second, it has to be something that reduces the deficit. You cannot pass just anything under "reconciliation"

Brennan isn't in prison because as noted above no one in DC has the balls to prosecute him. Even if they di DC juries wouldn't convict him. That's why the grand jury in Palm Beach County in FL is the thing to get watch.

They're using browns as their brownshirts by importing them by the million to come in and murder us by the hundreds every week. They're using black to murder black by the hundreds every week.
They WANT open borders. They WANT you dead. They WANT the public to SCREAM for them to DO SOMETHING which in their minds first and foremost is to TAKE YOUR GUNS. Then, they will UK silence you by imprisoning you for speech. Whether it be illegals from South America or illegals from the islhamic nation, they will not stop until they get what they want.
And the Republican party will sit back, scream about it, roll up their sleeves, and do nothing to stop it.
Prepare accordingly.

The whole mess revolves around the filibuster, and GOP unwillingness to change the rule back to its original "talking filibuster" from the modern adaptation of the lazy filibuster, where some idiot just registers his/her intention to oppose and effectively makes passing something not possible.

The original Obamacare was passed in the Senate while they still had 60 Democrats so cloture wasn't an issue. It was passed by hollowing out a different bill and replacing it with the guts of Obamacare. Which meant that it originated in the Senate. A bill which SCOTUS said was a tax, originated in the Congressional side which isn't permitted to originate tax bills. But, whatever, man... it's all good.

All that is required to bypass the Byrd rule is to have a majority of the Senators vote to ignore the Parliamentarian's ruling. Of course, if you have 50 Senators ready to do that, you'd have 50 Senators ready to invoke an actual filibuster. So he's correct.

The left really does look at today's world around them and firmly believe they're in a war. They certainly act like it.
Meanwhile the nominal right looks towards a disinterested GOP for help that will never, ever come. It's a mindset that will be our undoing unless that changes. Our "elected" officials are more concerned with self aggrandizement then they are with national survival.
I'm not sure leaving it up to them is wise.
And that's why I personally think matters will get resolved without them.

Democrats are demanding that ICE agents obtain judicial warrants before entering private residences, reversing a previous policy that allowed them to use administrative warrants.
This would make impossible for ICE to get 20,000,000 warrants from judges. ICE would be rendered useless.
The Democrats opened the border and flooded the country for four years under Biden. They told us there was NO crisis at the border and now we're in this situation of trying to deport those illegals they let in.
It's time we start calling the Democrat Senators because they are not feeling the anger of the public since the mainstream media isn't holding them accountable.
Even if you only have time to call 1 or 2 I think it would help. It's the least we can do for Trump.

Jack Smith's entire case was that, by lying about the election, Trump was committing a fraud upon the American people, deceiving them into thinking elections were not secure.
But, if someone tells me "the sky is always purple" that doesn't undermine confidence in the fact that the sky is usually blue.
Anyway, the left really, really doesn't like the questions raised, that when an apparent winner on Election Day loses to batches of late-received ballots, folks will question the integrity of the election.
It's not "that's why we need a set date" it's all "you stupids just need to trust those who do the counting."

60 votes to overrule makes sense, when you consider the purpose of the rule. If the Senate is going to eliminate the filibuster in this one limited circumstance, reconciliation, then you have to have a way to enforce the "limited" nature of the exception. That explains why the parliamentarian plays the role he/she does, and to overrule her naturally takes the regular 60 votes.

That no election outcome was changed by late-received, mail-in ballots.
Every single one will say that there is no fraud, no fraud to affect the outcome, that mail-in ballots are secure, that there's no proof of fraud, etc., etc.
If you read all their articles, you'd come away thinking that there has never been a race where the outcome was changed after post-election ballots were counted.
Except for all the races all over the country where exactly that has happened ....

Senator Chris Murphy? The Washington Free Beacon, Democrats, Lust for Power: Dem Senator Chris Murphy Ditches Wife for Soros-Funded 'Soap Opera Villainess' Tara McGowan. Mar. 10, 2025
Wikipedia on Murphy: September 2025, Semafor reported that Murphy was dating Tara McGowan, an American political strategist. They were no longer dating by October of that year.[65]"
Wikipedia on McGowan: "Married Michael Halle, a political consultant who has worked as a lead organizer in Iowa for Hillary Clinton and as a senior strategist for Pete Buttigieg.[19][20][21]"
McGowan, a progressive political operative and founder of Acronym, digital strategies for the Obama campaign. Former Digital Director for Priorities USA Action (Clinton Super PAC).
Founder of Courier Newsroom, McGowan focuses on Democratic digital infrastructure to counter Republican online spending, including founding the media organization Courier Newsroom, a for-profit media company that produces digital newspapers in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin, with the aim of filling news deserts.

Courier Newsroom received $15 million; National Trust for Local News $6.4 million, Earl F Glynn, Feb 19, 2025
In part, "This article focuses on nearly $23 million in grants to US journalism in 2023 with two organizations receiving almost 95% of these funds:
Courier Newsroom and National Trust for Local News
The remaining 5% of the grants were to a union program, and two diversity-equity-inclusion projects."
--
As of 2025, the National Trust for Local News has established subsidiary trusts in the U.S. states of Colorado, Maine, and Georgia,[2] through which it owns about 60 newspapers.[3] The organization is a 501(c)(3) organization and is based in Englewood, Colorado. (Wikipedia)
Oh ho! And there's Ms. McGowan's Good Information Inc., a for-profit public benefit corporation founded to invest in digital media aimed at countering disinformation and strengthening democracy. It invests in, incubates, and scales local news outlets—most notably Courier Newsroom—to increase the flow of fact-based, trustworthy information online. (AI Overview)

>Luminus, TSA’s New Rules Block Immigrant Travel—Even for Those in Legal Proceedings, Feb '25
"If you’re an immigrant in the U.S., even with pending legal status, travel just got much riskier.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has officially stopped allowing undocumented immigrants to board domestic flights using the CBP One app as identification. The only exception? If they’re leaving the country."

On the late evening news a few days ago, TSA's gordita union president at Philly International complained ICE caused the (unfunded) problem.
Oddly, Philly was relatively problem free, it appeared, until the evening news yesterday.

Daily Tech News 25 March 2026
Top Story
- OpenAI has shuttered its Sora AI-generated video app just six months after it first launched. (Hollywood Reporter)
Disney was planning to invest $1 billion in OpenAI and license some of its IP to be used in Sora. That deal is as dead as the app itself.
- OpenAI's "Instant Checkout" feature that allowed used to purchase products from within a chat session has likewise been deprioritised. (Tech Crunch)
K-i-l-l-e-d, deprioritised.
Tech News
- Arm has announced its first AGI CPU, dubbed reasonably enough the Arm AGI CPU. (Arm)
It has 136 Arm Neoverse N3 cores running at 3.7GHz, 96 lanes of PCIe Gen 6 - yes, 6, and support for DDR5-8800 memory, which is pretty fast for a server.
That's all nice, but you might be wondering where the AGI comes into it.
That's the neat part. It doesn't.
- The FCC has banned imports of new routers made in other countries, which is where imports come from. (Liliputing)
This follows an unending series of massive exploits of consumer networking equipment in recent years.
Companies can apply to a conditional approval program to continue to sell products to the United States, but that comes with certain caveats, like upgrading device security to be "not total shit".
Security experts that are usually critical of government inaction in this area appear stunlocked at seeing all their recommendations enacted in one fell swoop.
- Telling an AI that it is an expert programmer makes it worse. (The Register)
To nobody's surprise.

Every other thing they're trying to sell can be done just as well, or better, by other AI/AI Agents, many of them for free or just the cost of the equipment and time.
Since Open AI is currently the king of the AI field many of their competitors are trying to follow their lead as they can't figure out how to make enough profit to pay for their data centers and dividends to their shareholders either.
It seems this might be the beginning of the AI bubble deflating (at least somewhat), as most of these Big AI corps can't get a handle on how to build-out while making enough money to keep everything inflating.
They've also driven up technology prices so high it's costing them more and more to do anything just like everybody else trying to get their hands on memory/storage chips of any kind. Energy prices are going the same route.
Something has to give and the bankruptcy or AI exit strategy for some of these big corps is on the horizon.

SpeakingOf, if you're here, I took your advice and looked up Memory Clean 2 to try and resolve my iMac's hesitations. I downloaded it for both Apple products I have here; seems to work. While I was at it, I saw another product called CleanUpMySystem on the Apple Store. It appeared to be free -- but then turned out to have only a free three-day trial. Uninstalled.
I also researched how to speed up the Brave browser -- most of the hesitations have happened in Brave; and a couple of ways to speed up the MacOS. Best advice: Restart your computer every now and then!

Oh, I've always been a PC guy; I began in the DOS days and moved on into Windows. This MacBook Air laptop and the iMac desktop I inherited from work, so, you know, free. I used the laptop of and on for remote work in 2020; yesterday I finally got around to deleting all those files, which couldn't hurt the performance either.
What I like about the Macs is that, *generally*, they are like 1980s Mercedes. Once you understand how they work, they just work.
I could pick up a much more recent and powerful iMac and laptop, used, on the macsales site. Doesn't seem urgent right now.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - March 24, 2026 [Doof]
From Abby
Did YOU celebrate National Alien Abduction Day? UFO Sightings Surge Across North America Ahead of “Alien Abduction Day”
As March 20—National Alien Abduction Day—rolls around again, a fresh wave of data is stirring up conversation, curiosity… and maybe a little unease. Across the United States and Canada, thousands of reported UFO sightings are painting a strange, flickering map of where the unexplained seems to linger most. And honestly, the numbers feel less like trivia and more like something you might glance at twice before heading outside at night. According to Casino.ca’s reporting on newly analyzed reports sourced from the National UFO Reporting Center and social media discussions, UFO sightings continue to cluster in unexpected places. Delaware, surprisingly, has emerged as America’s top hotspot. With one reported sighting for every 928 residents, the small state has logged over 1,000 encounters since 1974—many involving glowing cylinders and hovering lights that don’t quite behave like anything… familiar.
Up north, Canada tells a slightly different story, and it’s arguably more intense. Alberta now claims the title of the country’s UFO capital, with one sighting for every 568 residents. Wide open skies, fewer city lights—perfect conditions, depending on how you look at it.

Sorry. We owe them nothing. If Persians want to rule their destiny, they need to fight and sweat and bleed and die for it. If we do it for them, it won’t last. It’s false. It can be taken away.
We Americans are giving our freedom away. Our forefathers died for it. And we are squandering it.

We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language.
While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform.
We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world"

Iran must dismantle existing nuclear capabilities
Iran must commit never to pursue nuclear weapons.
No uranium enrichment on Iranian territory.
Iran must hand its stockpile of enriched uranium to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo nuclear facilities must be dismantled.
The IAEA must be granted full access to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Iran must abandon its “regional proxy paradigm.”
Iran must cease the funding, directing and arming its proxies.
The Strait of Hormuz must remain open.
Iran’s missile program must be limited in both range and quantity.
Iran must limit its use of missiles to self-defense.
In return, Iran would benefit from:
The end of sanctions imposed by the international community.
US assistance to advance its civilian nuclear program.
A “snapback” mechanism allowing for the automatic reimposition of sanctions if Iran fails to comply would be removed.

The Guess Who & Bachman Turner Overdrive.
Lucky for me we did not have a HS breakfast club. However, I am fairly certain my "permanent record" was the thickest of the principal's index cards. Stupid stuff like talking in class, being late for class due to talking in the hall. No bombs or razor fights or smoking or anything of note.
My worst was having a guy who took me to a dance talk me into the Beta Club photo (I was not in the Beta Club). The editor, who was a friend of mine & later apologized, went loco and reported me. Pity as it was a really good photo of me.
The enraged principal told me I'd have to pay for a new photo. Ok, no problem.
Found out after HS that he mostly hated me due to my last name. Apparently, growing up in the city, my Daddy was part of an elementary school gang and he must have been picked on.
He never called my parents & said, "Your crazy daughter is here in my office again. As usual she does not seem worried that she will never amount to anything or have a job" (yes, he said that to me). I never told my parents, either, big deal. Now I want my permanent record.

The guy saw it as well and told me to get the hell out of here and we did.
I don't know about him but I did not tell my parents or anyone. But we both saw it. I don't recall discussing it with him again, either. We were both shocked.

I have seen a UFO. It was tracking ICBMs on a rail line to their destination. It defied all human technological methods of propulsion and generated no sound. This was decades ago, not some man-made drone. It was not some flashing light in the sky, - it occupied space and had volume. I believe it had some sort of gravity device that allow it to move the way it did.

Over the Christmas/ New Year’s holidays, the blimp is usually in town and cruises around displaying advertisements.
So she hears some hum and turns around and that blimp is right behind them and low! She was surprised, but the dog was terrified and took off at a dead run. Her hand got caught in the leash and before she could get loose he dragged her down a small gravel hill on her face and put her shoulder out of socket!
Dog kept running, thought it was gone for good but finally came back a couple days later. Always wondered what he thought it was.

I'm currently trying to dig out an old rosebush, without much success. It's kind of in a corner of a bed, so I can only attack it from three angles.
The landscapers were supposed to take it out, but they just cut it down to the ground and it sprouted back.
I may just leave it for this year out of curiosity, to see if it's the rose- or just the root stock.
I'm a sucker for volunteer plants- if Audrey II turned up in my yard, I'd be all "Aww, look at you, brave little soldier. Want some water?"
Or blood.

It takes time. A lot of time. Are you able to eat okay? I would bump up protein, sugar (fruits, molasses, maple syrup - basically whole foods), and sunshine until the fatigue begins to dissipate. If it doesn't after a couple of months (yea, RSV is a freaking butt kicker) go back to your doctor.

Oh, I would remember. The only probing I ever had was a goosing on a sidewalk (at dusk) in college.Half block from my rental house.
Skinny frat boy, friends probably put him up to it. I was wearing jeans.Instantly screamed, "You bastard!" and I am loud.
I tried to kill him but he outran me. I was oddly carrying the lid of a cast iron Dutch oven, which slowed me down. My plan was to beat his head with it.
My two male grad student apt mates made me call the police as they were outraged when I told them. I'd like to see that police report as well and wonder if I mentioned the Dutch oven lid.

L.S.D. is a very fragile molecule, I’ve read. Exposure to light & oxygen is no bueno. Sandoz (Switzerland) used to send it out for free in glass ampoules, which if stored properly should be good to go.
The CIA in the early 50s wanted to purchase the entire world supply (keep it from the Soviets). Then they got Eli Lilly to start making it, who said they could turn it out it out in “tonnage quantities”. Your tax dollars at work.
I heard an interesting Old Time Radio program episode the other night, “The Man Called X” starring Herbert Marshall, from 1952. Had to do with hypnotic suggestion, manchurian candidate, murder type stuff.
This is exactly the type of cold war research being done at that time, I wouldn’t be surprised if the producers didn’t get a phone call. This was all very classified type stuff funded through cutout orgs and conducted by universities, who didn’t ask too many questions so long as they got funding. The Fund for Human Ecology. My dad went to a small school in Iowa and participated in a sleep experiment, they tried to see if people could learn while sleeping. Spook shit.

Gerry and Charles. I was a surprise for them as well.
The landlady found the furnished apt for me as a favor to an ex-friend of mine. Had my own bedroom and bath and entry. Shared kitchen, laundry room and living area with them.A mile walk uphill to campus and I was in great shape.
Their girlfriends were not pleased at all to have Ellie Mae Clampett, fresh off the farm, land in their bf's basement apt.
The boys were later bummed in that I had no idea how to cook...but they made me learn as we shared meals during the week and grocery bills with rent and utility.
I am sure they diagnosed me or tried to but did not tell me. They were good to me and took me hiking, camping, skiing and to concerts. I lucked out in them not being serial killers. Of course them being psych majors was almost as bad.
After 6mo of no dating they tried to plan a romance with a friend of theirs, nice guy. I guess because they felt sorry for me. He was also a grad student psych major and, well, no go, but he hung out with us trying. I was never mean to him but he got the hint.

UFO’s aren’t always bright lights. I saw one of the infamous delta shapes once, but I sound stupid trying to describe it because even at the time, I couldn’t really figure out what I was seeing.
A big storm was blowing in at dusk, and I saw this shape on the horizon, and yes it looked like a delta shape. But I only could see the outline, because I also saw right through it. Like it was there and wasn’t there at the same time. I was thinking it was something being blown by the wind, but it was moving quickly against the wind.
Then it went behind a copse of trees between me and it, and I thought good, that weird thing is gone. But then it came back out from behind the trees, which really freaked me out, and I watched it til it disappeared in the distance.
I have no idea what it was, or how it was being operated. But even at the time, I wondered if I was looking at something that was cloaked, with the cloak only partly working.

The truth is out there. Seriously, I vaguely remember that, and I think we decided it was likely a Starlink train from your description.
Venus and even Sirius are famous for triggering UFO reports from people not familiar with the sky. When Venus gets near inferior conjunction on both sides and gets close and bright at sunset and sunrise, it will do it. Also, a nice conjunction with Venus and Jupiter or others will really do it.

I did this, too. She's too busy to turn off lights, Piper. Thinking about stuff.
Daddy also used to note all the hot water I used when I came home from college after Christmas. He could not believe me when I'd tell him I was colder in MS than out West. He'd argue back: snow. I'd say I was still cold on the farm and round and round we went. I'd dry my hair by the fireplace freezing. Neither of us won that deal as I still took hot baths, too. No care!
I knew I was finally a parent when I turned off the lights in my son's wake. Son the Elder.
He became a mixture of my husband's and my worst things in college. I once thought blood was going to shoot out of my ears I was so mad at him. No doubt our fathers were thrilled.

Gonna add another item to the Bucket List - a trip to New York City to see the sights and some shows! Mr. TiFW DOES NOT want to go, so I am taking along a friend and her lovely daughter. They are very excited - we are using the money that we would have spent for Paul to go to treat them both for going along and "babysitting" me 😂😂😂
So far, we have 4 shows on our list, along with a bunch of touristy sights. Looking for a central hotel that is fancy for us gals. We are going over Mother's Day weekend, so we are going to try and find a fun MD Brunch to go to. There is a MD Brunch cruise that looks promising....
We are going to fly into Newark because it's considerably cheaper. What we save in airfare should pay for a lot of uber/taxi rides!

Apollo 10 return trajectory, 24, 791 mph (11.08 km/s). Manned distance record was set by Apollo 13 on their ill-fated mission when they had to do a free-return of 248,655 miles. They had already made course corrections off of the free-return before the SM explosion, requiring the LM burn to put it back on -- if that had failed, they would've been fucked.
If Artemis II flies, it will break both by a smidge, return speed exceeding 25K mph by a little bit, and distance beyond the Moon an appreciable bit over Apollo 13.

There is "about" Avogadro's Number of stars in the observable universe (give or take an order of magnitude depending on some assumptions 10^22 - 10^24 range).
Now, that's another contrast of scale and density. There are that number of water molecules in 1 mole of water, or 18g. That's a small volume.
This shows how incredibly sparse space is on the scale beyong clumps of matter.

286 The nuclear missile silos in the Western US had several well documented shutdowns in association with UFOs in the 1960s. They ordinarily used mains power electricity, diesel generator backup, and battery banks. In one incident, everything was down, inop, even the batteries were drained.”
This makes me remember one of the weirdest sights I ever saw, and again I won’t say what it was because I have no idea. When I did oilfield work I would often drive a long ways to get back home in the wee hours of the morning.
So I was driving across North Texas countryside about 2 am, clear sky, nice temperature, springtime like now. Nobody on the road but me. The road ran down into a little valley and up ahead I saw silhouetted against the horizon some high voltage transmission lines running across the valley, the road passed under them.

But the thing is, there was nothing visible there. I stopped my car and got out to watch, close enough to hear the electricity crackling.
And it was moving. As I watched, the end point of the electric tendrils slowly moved from east to west across the little valley. Judging by those, their end point seemed to be something about 50 yards long which was completely silent and invisible. After about 10 minutes the show reached the other side of the valley, and it just stopped; and everything was like nothing had ever happened.
Sure looked to me, though, like something had just drained a whole lot of power out of those transmission lines.

Seriously, perspective is everything. We don't know what's out there but the popular belief is that there are magical beings that life somewhere out there in the universe that are infinitely smarter than us and one of their major missions is to occasionally drop in here and do anal probes. Not a lot evidence that's happened but the belief persists.
There's no doubt life is out there in some galaxy but it could be plants or some lower life form. No reason we couldn't be at the top of the food chain. We've been looking and listening for a long time and nobody has called yet.

Yeah it just makes your head hurt thinking about the size and scale of the universe, not to mention all the weird shit going on in it. You see these pictures of one tiny piece of the sky and there are whole clusters of galaxies in them that are millions of light years away from each other. I managed to see andromeda with my telescope when I was into that stuff. It was weird, not real clear because the human eye can only process so much light, and my telescope was only 10", but it was there. I'm thinking thats just fucked up, I'm seeing something that happened 2.5 millions years ago. Crazy shit.

My theater district knowledge is way out of date. Russian Tea Room would have been my rec for MD brunch. Recall that I am old.
OTOH, the best Chinatown experience in the country is still 17 Mott Street. I've been to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Baltimore, and New Orleans. They all have their bright spots, but the absence of Wo Hop is apparent to anyone blessed to have dined there.
It is not fancy. Housed in a basement, it boasts no view (the better to focus your attention on the food). Simply the best steamed dumplings, won ton soup, beef/chicken/pork lo mien, and squid w/spicy salt (think Chinese fried calamari). It is one of the few places in Chinatown that has a line out the door, and it's been that way since I've been going regularly since the early 80's..

There is no unified Iranian government and military. The cohesion was destroyed in the first 12 hours and the "mosaic defense" was designed to keep fighting even if the center was killed or captured. The Iranian Revolutionary state was developed as nearly independent silos, and some of them are still functional, and some are still fighting since there is no one to tell them to stop.
We are fighting a Hydra, and the tactic may be to find someone who can convince them to lay down their arms for a better future.

That is spacetime. Generally dubbed the vacuum. Not just WTF that actually is, well, it's something. Empty spacetime is something.
There is mindblowing shit about the "vacuum" that I only vaguely recall what little I actually knew. You've heard of Hawking radiation. Well, via the Equivalence Principle, there is also Unruh radiation.
Take a path of flat Minkowski spacetime. Completely empty. Now, construct an accelerating reference frame. That accelerating (Rindler observer, if you want to sound sophisticated like you know what you're talking about, which I don't
) observer no longer sees a vacuum, but an actual EM radiation field. When you add all the other quantum fields in there (color and the other shit) he may see other shit.
We can say that Unruh is entirely "coordinate artifact", I think, since that's just an accelerating coordinatization of flat spacetime. Yet, Hawking, existing with "real gravity", real curvature, is thus real.
Even when I could remember this shit, I still didn't understand this, other than it was mind blowing.

Suppose you and I start out at some place and agree to meet at another destination later in the day. We get to there later, we compare odometers and find they are different. You travelled a longer distance than I did. We would not find that surprising. You simply took a different, longer path than I did.
Now, that's how time works as well. That blows Newtonian intuition away, granted, but it's the exact same thing. We take different paths through spacetime, and thus accumulate different proper times along the way.
I don't think of the Twin "Paradox" as time travel because of this. One twin just takes a shorter path, and thus less time.

Admiral Doenitz gave the order to surrender, but by that time there was nothing much left to fight with. No gas, no food, no resupply, and everyone was trying to surrender to the Americans to avoid the Russians. The "werewolf" plan was not done because of the shock of losing, and then the Allies gave them the Communists to chase instead of insurgency.
There was a rumor of a resurgent Nazi party by old SS troops in the west in the 50's, but supposedly they all got told to knock it off, and the prosecution of them was declined because the court found there were so many government agents acting as provocateurs among them it was found impossible to figure out if it was an organic movement or created by the security services.

It is. You've got your basic "seeing", which has to do with the state of the atmosphere. Is turbulence and temperature variations and all that afoot big time, or is everything nice and stable.
Winter, as a general rule, can offer the best seeing, with colder denser air. When it's clear. Then you got things that interplanetary dust (Zodiacal light), not to mention terrestrial dust, jet stream behavior, and all that.
So, there are sesonal factors that affect seeing, and then just random factors than come and go.

There was real concern in the Japanese leadership about whether a surrender order would be complied with - one reason an imperial radio address - unprecedented event - was done. And there were a few cases of insubordinate post-announcement attacks on Allied forces, though fortunately not many.
And the Allied (US, really) concern about Japanese military insubordination regarding surrender was of course much more intense. This didn't really dissipate until a little bit into the occupation, when it was clear that there would be no major trouble. Quite the opposite in fact, Japanese cultural respect for order, authority, and compliance making it easily the best place to occupy of any.

That is the limitation of the human mind's imagination, based on Euclidean, flat spatial geometry.
Consider a 2-sphere, the the 2 dimensional surface of a sphere of some finite radius. That is 2D space is closed, finite size, yet no boundary. You can go off in an direction and come back to where you started.
Now, you can have the same with a 3D space, the "surface volume" of a hypersphere, dubbed a 3-sphere.
Now you object, but there's that third dimension for the 2-sphere! It's curved around in that 3D space, that explains it.
Now, here's the key insight. You don't need that higher dimensional space at all. It's just a crutch. You can have that closed 2-sphere geometry existing all of itself. There is no measurement you can make, confined to the surface that can prove or disprove the existence of the higher embedding space.

Stars do a lot of the heavy lifting. The heavier the star the more elements they create. Our sun converts hydrogen into helium, and will probably stop there because it isn't massive enough to create enough pressure from collapse to heat things up to go farther. Massive stars have the mass to convert helium to carbon, then carbon , then neon/magnesium, then sulfer, and eventually to iron. Iron is where it stops and then fooom. Star goes super nova and blows all the shit across the area. A bonanza of elements.

There is quite a devil in those details of where the elements heavier than iron come from. Astrophysicists would just sort of wave their hands that supernova did it.
Turns out they can't make enough. This was known as the gold mystery. What made all the gold in the universe? Turns out the answer is neutron star mergers mostly, but that wasn't enough. They recently discovered magnetar flares account for the rest of it.

You want to be on a mountain top (less air above you), far from sources of light pollution, with a dry climate, and a laminar flow of air straight up, if possible. They do studies before they site observatories. It turns out that the study done for Kitt Peak in Arizona was during an anomalously “quiet” time period in terms of seeing conditions.

So, that piece of gold jewelry or coin you have? About an 80% chance it was born in the throws of a "hypernova", two colliding neutron stars throwing off a big, but relatively small total amount of mass off in their death throes of becoming a black hole.

411 Seriously, think about it. If there is an end to what we call the universe, what's on the other side?
Posted by: JackStraw at March 25, 2026 12:43 AM (viF8m)
No “other side” because what we call our universe is just a four dimensional bubble inside a higher multidimensional reality. Things like time are artifacts of this universe, but work differently, or may not exist at all outside of it.
Posted by: Tom Servo at March 25, 2026 01:07 AM (D4x+R)
No, that's reality not math.
Unless all of what we know as the universe exists inside the mind of some space giant, who was somehow created by something, everything has an end. Even math problems for that matter. Or unless all we know is just ideas we transmit to each other we exist as real beings and communicate by talking and typing. Otherwise we wouldn't need this place. Or some of you have taken way more drugs than me.
There are two options. The universe has some sort of end in which case there is something on the other side or the universe is infinite. Something can't keep expanding into an area that doesn't exist. And if it exists what's up with over there?
I'm wide open an explanation of what's on the other side but this isn't a math problem, it's a reality problem.

yeah I read that too, but its the collapse onto the iron core that creates the shock waves that tear it apart, and then like you said it creates the other elements and helps create other stars. I think one of the king shit stellar nurseries is in the orion nebula. Its supposed to have a high concentration of young stars.

There is no reason reality has to be Euclidean. That's an imposition of the human mind on reality.
Reality doesn't have to be infinite. It can be closed with no boundary. Math is the tool to see that is possible.
By saying it must have an end, your are imposing your own mind on reality, no the other way around.

There was a definitely a beginning. Don't know about an end. But that's for our little bubble of expanding universe, FLWR type spacetime. There is a t = 0 there.
But that's just the current model. Could there have be a "before" t = 0? Yep, there could. But current physics can't address that (there are some ideas, of course).

There is a third option; Space is finite, but has no “outside” because space itself is curved. Space time itself is created by energy and matter, as it expands space expands. If it shrinks (and the theory that says it will is in question now, but I digress) but if it contracts, then space itself will contract until it all collapses into an infinitesimal point where this universe will drop out of physical existence as we understand it, and either go back to where it came from, or recycle.
This universe is not all that there is. In fact it is most probably only a tiny, tiny part of all that there is.

Now, to talk about scale and mind blowing density and all that. The magnetic field of a magnetar is so large, so mind bogglingly YUGE it's near the quantum limit of a how strong such a field can be (well, that's sort of a tricky thing).
The energy density of that field in the vacuum works out to be many times greater than the mc^2 energy density of a chunk of lead.
It comes out to be about 200 Tsar Bombas of energy packed into every mL of space around the magnetar. That is magnetic field energy in the vaccuum. 50 MT of energy in every cubic centimeter.

I'm trying to remember all this shit. I remember at 1.4 solar masses a star will usually go neutron star, but at some point if it has enough mass it goes straight to black hole. I don't remember that number. It wasn't big, like 3 or 4 maybe. So are 2 neutron stars massive enough to actually go hypernova?

My bad. I was mixing up kilonova with hypernova. :eyeroll: Something nagged me when I typed it, but I didn't pay it any attention.
So kilonova are the main source of gold (and others), not kilonova.
Now, the progression of what happens when a star dies vs its mass is a complicated thing indeed, and they don't really understand it at all. If you're interested I can try to dig up some reading links.
Anyway, at some point, you can get collapse straight to a black hole. Get bigger, and there's some range where no remnant would be left behind at all, it would blow itself to smithereens. Get bigger yet, and there's a point where there would be hardly any explosion at all, so massive it would be, a black hole would form and just suck everything in before any explosion could even begin to get out.

Someone earlier mentioned the model of a 2D person living on the surface of a balloon that's being inflated. All 2D guy can see is "space" in his immediate vicinity seems to be getting bigger. He can't see far enough to recognize that a path in a given direction loops back to where he is, and if the expansion is fast enough relative to any speed he can achieve, he has no hope of travelling the path in order to discover that fact.
And he has no hope of perceiving the actual direction of expansion, outward in 3D space, because he only sees in 2D.

That's one of the grand ironies. Gravity is the weakest of the forces (or another way to put this is the mass to charge ratios of the elementary particles are very low), yet gravitational radiation can produce the most energetic outbursts of all.
If you figure it in terms of mass conversion to energy, you have some large number of solar masses of mass being converted to energy in seconds. And that energy is gravitational radiation.

This blows your mind. Where is the mass in black hole? It's "elsewhere", nothing but an even horizon, and massive curvature left behind. Yet let two of them merge, and some of that "mass" gets spewed out as gravitational radiation. The mass of the merged black hole is less than the sum of the original two. Did it get out from behind the event horizon? Nope, it did not. And that shows how this notion of mass and energy and what you mean by the total doesn't work out exactly as you think it ought to. That is quite a complex thing in General Relativity.

Per a report from the Wall Street Journal, Iran has responded to the Trump administration’s proposal for a ceasefire with demands that far surpass the characterization of maximalist. Iran has demanded the closure of all U.S. bases in the Gulf region, a new Strait of Hormuz framework, that would allow Iran to charge fees for vessels that transit, the end of all sanctions on Iran, an end to Israeli operations against Lebanese Hezbollah, and no discussion on Iran’s ballistic missile program. Such demands have been called ridiculous and unrealistic by U.S. officials

Another crazy non-Newtonian thing those mergers do with gravitational radiation is the asymmetry gives the center of a mass a kick. Two black holes merge and the center of mass kicks off, pushing against the gravitational radiation it's emitting.
They've seen this when galaxy mergers. The two central black holes merge and the merged product gets a high speed kick away from the center, flying off to the side.

Now, imagine death by strong gravitational radiation. If you were close enough to one of those mergers, the radiation could be quite strong.
Imagine you're floating around in space, in your spacesuit. A high frequency short wavelength gravitational wave passes through you. Your head is compressed with some ridiculous g-force equivalent while your feet are being stretch apart with the same ridiculous g forces, and hump after hump of that passes over you.
You'd be simultaneously crushed and spaghettified, but wouldn't move much. Sort of like imagining some shock wave of pressure and rarefaction passing through, but orders of magnitude stronger and pure gravitational acceleration, not pressure of "stuff".

That reminds of something else. The "Gravitational Wave of Death". This is a type of gravitational shock wave. Now, there's no known process that could create one that is known about, but it's a solution to the General Relativity.
Think of it as a propagating little burst of curvature that moves through space. It passes over you, you get crushed/ripped instantly. You can't see it coming, because it's moving at light speed, and no information about it can get to you before it does.

Andromeda's black hole is much bigger than ours. The Milky Way suffers from black hole micropenis you might say.
And there was something interesting recently about that merger. It may not happen. They refined some measurements and the uncertainty is such it may just be a close pass at first. We'd dance around for a few billion or so more years and eventually merge, but not a direct collision.
It's a matter of probablity. The direct collision could still happen, it's just not as likely as they originally thought.

That math, differential geometry and tensor calculus of GR is something else indeed. Funny thing it was invented before it was really needed. It's funny how that works out sometimes.
I only know enough about it to be dangerous. Basically, a glimpse of what is going on.
Don't let that bother you though. If you can find a good qualitative description of what GR and the EFE (Einstein Field Equations) are and what they say, you'd enjoy it.
Gravity is not a force, it's just geometry. As Wheeler put it, matter tells spacetime how to curve, and spacetime tells matter how to move. GR/EFE is the rules of that dance.

One statement I saw many years ago about GR/EFE was that determines the geometry of spacetime but not the topology. I did not understand that.
Less than a year ago, in some deep session with Grok on something (black hole "interior" vs "exterior"), it finally clicked what that really meant. Grok quoted something, and the wording was just right to get the mental picture to click in my mind just so.
And that has to do with the questions about is the universe infinite or finite, closed or open (in some sense). That's a question of topology, not geometry, and that depends on "boundary conditions", I'll wave my hands and say.
You can have everything we observe now, and that's not enough to tell the difference.

I do not like that. It'll just be Betelbuddy with me. That name means "bracelet" or something, Arabic, related to the Arabic origin of "Betelgeuse" itself. Betelgeuse means "hand of Orion". So Siwarha is the bracelet near the hand or something.
And there's some feminine "her" sense in that bracelet as well. Some girl power stuff there maybe. This naming business needs to be cleaned up, and not let lunatics name shit just because they discovered it.

Herschel wanted to name Uranus after George III back when he discovered it. That did not fly outside of Britain, of course, thank goodness.
Of course, George III was an asshole, so maybe it fits.
But that settled it. Nope, planets are too big a deal to name after mortal men.

The Native Corporations put out ads to brag about how long they have lived in AK and what a vibrant culture they all have. And in all that time, nobody bothered to invent the wheel.
They still believe Whitey owes them for the land, for the right to live in AK, but they are likewise not giving up their computers, their airplanes, their snow machines, their government schools, or their free healthcare.
I'm not likely to apologize for dragging them out of the stone age. This crap gets old fast.

My father once showed up with a retired policeman friend he knew to keep his horse. This horse, Fred, and I would stand in the driveway looking at the road. He was a tall horse and did not participate with my commands. He was nice but we rode nowhere but looked good.
I once rode a 15mi mountain ridge and back with a Navajo princess who knew what she was doing. My horse followed hers and I lived to tell the story and amazing adventure. Sore for two days.
Before that I tried, and did not do well, to ride with an English saddle (like the one above) around Hyde Park in London. A girl I didn't know talked me into that during our English trip.
This horse wanted to simply gallop back to his stable of rentals and eat. I made an arse of myself (I do this now and then) with many nannies and strangers pointing at me laughing.
Totally out of and beyond my control, but I stayed on the horse, bouncing a lot. The lovely green park was a blur. It was the worst ride, ever, of any skill I had.

The movie's concept of that ark having magical powers is ... interesting. New Testament says the real power is in Christ Jesus, and we of the body of Christ (Christians) have all power, we are more than conquerors.
imo, there are no superpowers hidden in some cave with The Ark. We as Christians already HAVE the Superpowers, and we are not dependent on some interesting but ancient relic. But it makes for a good movie I guess, despite the "propaganda" of "OT Supremacy" continuing through today.

The Ark of the Covenant was just a box with some things in it. A pretty box, but just a box.
It was important because God liked to come down and rest there among His people. The Ark was either lost or hidden (Ethiopia says they have it and no, you can't see it.)
Anyhow, it was ultimately replaced by the Theotokos, which the New Ark, also know as the Blessed Virgin Mary. This rendered the Ark of the Covenant even more superfluous.
So yes, the Nazis would have been able to use it as a footstool or object d'art, but that's about it.

My feeling is riding a horse is like walking, by committee. You submit a proposal as to where you'd like to go, and the horse submits a proposal. The horse then decides which proposal to take. Eating or being scared of something generally wins out. I'm terrible at it. My daughter is getting good and is on her way to going to State in barrel racing.

It's like riding a bike with a mind of its own. Turn the handlebars and maybe it will, maybe it won't. I had ample opportunity to learn to ride, but I was allergic to all the barn dust and hay and even when the horse did what I wanted, I didn't think it was particularly cool.

Pretty sure the Ark killing people who touched it was based on that account of the one un-hallowed not-a-priest-guy who reached out to steady it when the priests tripped carrying it across a stream, and was struck down for his troubles.

This is in the same class as the (more mythical) Grail, and what interests me is that Greco-Roman culture did not seem to have a fascination with magical Objects of Power. With the "grail", the supposed cup used at the last supper, no one at the time would have seen it as anything as a memento. It wasn't a part of their culture to do anything else.
It wasn't until after the fall and a new dark and superstitious age comes that European culture comes to be fascinated by Magic and magical things, possibly a remnant of the old barbarian cultures whose people were now dominant.

"Quantus Insights reported Tuesday that in a Texas Republican Senate primary runoff poll Paxton leads Cornyn 48.8 percent to 41.3 percent, with 9.9 percent undecided. The polling memo also noted that nearly 58 percent of Rep. Wesley Hunt’s supporters are now backing Paxton, suggesting consolidation among non-Cornyn voters following the March 3 primary.
The survey further indicates a relatively firm electorate: 88.1 percent of respondents say they are certain to vote, while 78.7 percent describe their choice as definite. Among respondents Paxton’s supporters appear slightly more locked in, with 88 percent saying their vote is definite compared to 86 percent of Cornyn supporters."

He rode for about 16 or do years and he loved it. Two seasons, Fall and Spring, and then they would compete at the fair. We have a display of his rosettes and medals in his room.He's very proud of them.
He's not a big person, 5'4'" but has no fear of horses. He rode some pretty big ones in the therapy. He actually had a horse fall asleep while they were waiting their turn at whatever the exercise was.
Here in this corner of Indiana there is only one place that does therapeutic riding and it is very difficult to get a spot.

"The Ark is a prominent feature of the Old Testament. The story was told as it was told." OK, but Christians do not live in the O.T. A lot of WW2 was based in Christians versus the Nazi occult .. that is the "story as it was told", imo.

I don't want a movie about a "Christian artifact". I'm looking at Biblical accuracy, not Hollywood taking advantage of people that are ignorant of scripture.
"The Ark is a prominent feature of the Old Testament. The story was told as it was told." OK, but Christians do not live in the O.T. A lot of WW2 was based in Christians versus the Nazi occult .. that is the "story as it was told", imo.

Just out of curiosity I went to my county recorder's website and sure enough
- The County Recorder's function is to maintain permanent public records involving a wide variety of instruments. These documents detail transactions involved in: real estate, personal property, mortgages, liens, leases, subdivision plats, military discharges, Public Official bonds, etc. Generally, all of these instruments are recorded either for giving legal public notice of their existence or for safekeeping and future reference.

"And so it begins...
ICE agents storm into our airports to assist the TSA with security. They walk around like the cocks on the block. They hover over the agents as they try to do their jobs. They intimidate the traveling public. They slam women to the floor and handcuff them, in front of their children, all the while yelling profanities.
This is a test. If they can enter our airports and intimidate people, what's to keep them from entering our polling places. This is the beginning and how we react will determine what they do in the future. Republicans pray to their God that the American people do not wake up from this nightmare. Otherwise, there would be hell to pay.
Democrats have offered to fund TSA separately in order to keep the air traffic moving, but Republicans have voted it down several times, at the orders of their leader, Donald J Trump.
There is presently a full-scale attack on our voting system and the Republicans are putting their faith in Donald Trump to save their jobs and careers, by whatever means necessary.
This is where we are on March 24th, 2026."

The thing with 10mm is that the platforms that use it aren't particularly interesting or unique, and it's just a little spicier than .40 and costs more.
Now .41 Magnum, by contrast not only is super-expensive and hard to find, but so are the platforms that support it, which is why it is the weapon of choice for trust-funders, investment bankers and oil tycoons.

The move during covid just about undid our kid, but grooming and interacting with the horses, feeding the other animals, mucking out stalls helped him so much. No riding there, though.

Well just because you quote some scripture does not make me GTFO. This is from your chapter. There is a "new order".
"But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

An alternative way to consider 10mm / .40 S&W is to recall that the 'S&W' in this instance stands for 'Short & Weak'. Yes, the 10mm generally available is downloaded, unfortunately, but handloading, and certain cartridges (such as available from Buffalo Bore) remedy that. Properly loaded, 10mm can approach the lower edge of .41 Magnum performance.
Now .41 Magnum, by contrast not only is super-expensive and hard to find, but so are the platforms that support it, which is why it is the weapon of choice for trust-funders, investment bankers and oil tycoons.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at March 24, 2026 08:23 PM
Quality .41 Mag ammo can be expensive. The remedy is handloading. I, personally, don't have an issue finding numerous platforms to support it, but, in fairness, most of said platforms are 30 to 50 or a little more years old, and prices were much more reasonable, if you had the foresight to acquire them, particularly during the shift from revolvers to semis, which devalued revolvers unreasonably.

All three of my nephews are leftist, from what I can tell. The oldest has four daughters, his wife is of two sets of parents, two of them university profs. She proudly declared her "family is a Biden family". Sad because they homeschooled their four "Christian" daughters, and I'm not sure that nephew family doctor is fully on board with her "ideology". They do some Africa outreach.
My older sister was also leftist (gone now, life on SSI), but gave our family the three nephews that are successful, but also leftist. The other sister is full blown Karen, retired teacher. Hard to communicate with them without getting into the political (reality) sections of real life.

Unfortunately, it was like my first ski trips in college. Boys would take me to the top of a mountain, after showing me how to snow plow, and that is not the choice for your first slope, and difficult blue run. I told them on every trip, "I am from Mississippi, I don't know how to ski." They'd all say, "Oh, you can do it!" Nice to have that confidence in me!
I was a po' college girl who could not afford to downhill ski,the passes, equipment or lessons, so we mostly did cross country skiing over the years.
An adult with kids before I had a professional lesson and "just like that" it made sense vs a bf or guy anxious for his next run. "Did the girl make it" was probably the question halfway down at the beer place on the mountain.
I did have a lot of fun, whether skiing or falling down part of the mountain. Youth is a factor of survival.
My grandchildren are on skis from the age of 2yrs with a tether to their father (our son). Ski without poles til about 7yrs.

Sacred chickens, goats, every god had their own type of sacrifice, whole colleges of augurs, no they were VERY into magic.
It's right there in the histories. "In the spring of that year, the Spartans advanced into the territory of Argos, but the livers of the sacrifices were unhealthy, and so they turned back."

A General in named Claudius once took auspices in his fleet outside a harbor before the Carthaginian fleet. The chickens would not eat so he threw the cages and chickens overboard crying "If they won't eat LET THEM DRINK". Obviously the Romans lost and blamed it on his Impiety.

Ace assembled a rocking chair for his porch inside, and now has to disassemble it and reassemble outside, since it won't fit through his door. The rocking chair is so he can sit and whittle on his porch, and also "tie lures". CBD found a picture of him whittling with a pukko in the chair on his porch. The timing of that seems a bit sus.
Also discussed were his plans for his first ever outdoor shelving project.

I was a member of the Johnson Space Center team that started the Gateway effort. 2012 or 2013, I've forgotten. It was my primary task until about 2016. The design didn't change very much. Its modular design was made necessary and constrained by how much mass SLS could send to a high lunar orbit. I never expected it to be built. It was interesting work, though, learning about high lunar orbits and working through the design problems. We developed a design that was absolutely feasible, but it had no useful purpose for what it would cost.

Democrats Can't Decide Yet Whether Vicious Murderer of Sheridan Gorman Should be Deported or Welcomed to Stay in Our Country Forever
Libs of TikTokThe decision to grant permanent refuge to illegal alien foreign murderers and rapists is a political one. It is a political choice. It is so insane that it seems less like a political choice than a psychotic break, but it is a political choice. And when parties and politicians make political choices, we are allowed to discuss them. We are allowed to point out when those political choices have bad or even deadly consequences. Via Beege Wellborn, J.B. Pritzker is proud to host the Venezuelan murderer and keep him in Illinois and he wants you to stop "politicizing" his elevation of a murderer's comfort over US citizens' safety.
@libsoftiktok New info in the case against Jose Medina-Medina reveals that he was reportedly hiding in the park and shot Sheridan Gorman in the back of the neck as she began RUNNING AWAY. Medina was then identified by CBP using facial recognition software, a technology that Democrat Illinois State Rep. Kelly Cassidy wants to ban. Because of course.
J.B. Pritzker's office just broke their silence on the murder of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago by a previously arrested illegal alien in which they condemn the Trump admin for "politicizing heinous tragedies."

In real life, it turns out that you can't stalk officials, dox their innocent families, or try to run them over with your car without getting into hot water. What a difference a real DOJ makes! On Monday, the Maine District U.S. Attorney's Office released the most delightful news brief:Believe it or not, she's a Woke White Woman who supports BLM. Luke Skywalker emailed me: "No... That's not true! That's impossible!" Sorry, Luke, it is very true. Also, the paternity test came in and yes, Darth Vader, you are the father!The statement also notes that the FBI investigated the case. Hallelujah! What a giant upgrade from the days when they investigated Catholics and schoolkids' parents! It's also an ice touch -- er, I mean a nice touch that the two illegal aliens who crashed the truck were taken into custody and off the road.
A Thomaston resident pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Portland to assaulting a U.S. Border Patrol agent engaged in his official duties. According to court records, in August 2025, a United States Border Patrol agent responded to a one-vehicle crash in Washington, Maine. As law enforcement conducted a roadside investigation, Olivia Wilkins, 24, came upon the scene in an automobile and parked close to officers. Wilkins voiced concerns regarding Border Patrol's presence in the area, but was permitted to move the vehicle further back from the crash to continue observing law enforcement. As the Border Patrol agent took an individual on scene into custody and began moving the individual to a nearby Border Patrol vehicle, Wilkins quickly accelerated toward the agent, who pulled the individual off the roadside away from the oncoming vehicle. Wilkins stopped the vehicle without striking either the agent or the individual in custody before swerving back into the lane of travel and fleeing the scene. Maine State Police troopers were able to arrest Wilkins a short distance away.
Also see the article for two antifa thugs convicted of stalking federal employees.
According to evidence presented at a four-day trial, on August 28, 2025, the defendants -- while dressed in black and concealing their faces with black masks -- followed the victim from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The victim was heading home to his family for an outing that included a surprise for his sons, ages three and seven. The defendants livestreamed on their Instagram accounts their pursuit of the victim and provided directions as they followed the victim home, encouraging their viewers to share the livestream.

>>American citizens have to be vaccinated against everything, but illegal alien murderers?
Legal immigrants need a test and an x-ray to prove they do not have TB, even if coming from Japan, where there is no TB.
Also, there was a recent outbreak in CA of TB and hundreds were exposed. TB is on the rise in the USA. This is serious as it can be a bitch to treat.

The percentage of people who contract and eventually die as a result of TB has been “significantly increasing” in California, the state’s public health department said. In 2010, 8.4% of people infected with tuberculosis died, compared to 14% of TB cases in 2022.
More than 80% of TB cases were due to latent tuberculosis infections progressing to active tuberculosis, which means they could have been prevented with testing and treatment, the public health department said.
Another 8% of cases involved people who came to California with active tuberculosis, and 9% of infections were linked to recent transmission, according to state data.

Maybe. But Brennan was the one who rewrote the Intelligence Community Assessment claiming that Russia and Trump worked together to win the 2016 election and he did it at Obama's assistance. And he used the Steele dossier to build the case and then lied to Congress and said the dossier was not part of the ICA. He could be indicted for that alone.
But again all of this is supposedly part or a grand conspiracy theory that started in 2016 and went right through the 2024 election. Who knows if or what anything will ultimately charged with if anything. Still, nice to see the scumbags spend money to defend themselves for a change.

The fact that something has not happened in no way proves that it will not happen. Trump 2.0 is very different from 1.0, and there is a degree of strategic patience and sequencing that is simply amazing to behold. Multiple tracks being pursued, multiple angles, objectives, all seemingly independent, yet also mutually supporting.
The SCOTUS likely to strike down late ballot-counting and more 2020 shenanigans being exposed, I expect plenty of trouble for the Dems this fall. Michigan is going to be rocked when the FBI releases all the fednapping docs, but that won't happen until after the primaries are done in August.

Sure, but its mostly because they have a charge master discount agreement and the hospital put some additional procedures or misstated the charge master amount. They do it all the time. Insurance is no saint. The hospitals are worse. And they balance bill people for charges they don't owe in the hope they get paid anyway by their patients. I had one that was filed 6 months too late. It violated their network agreement. Hospital still billed me.

Quick Hits
Variety attempted to smear Chuck Norris for his politics. When lefties die, their politics either go unmentioned in favor of their achievements, or are actively praised. But Christian conservatives? Smeared.
Variety claims that his politics "overshadowed" his career in martial arts and movie-making. The greatest Community Note of all time put lie to that.
She's trippin'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spent nearly $19,000 in campaign cash last year on a shrink who specializes in controversial ketamine therapy. The socialist lawmaker hired Boston-based Dr. Brian Boyle, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on "novel" therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street. Her campaign paid Boyle $11,550 in March 2025, another $2,800 in May, and $4,375 in October for a total of $18,725, Federal Election Commission records show. The expenses were marked as "leadership training and consulting." It's unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an "interventional psychiatrist" and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety. He's considered a "leading authority" on ketamine, the controversial horse tranquilizer given to "Friends" star Matthew Perry in the month leading up to his tragic death. "I just saw the incredible power of what these treatments could do," Boyle said during a podcast appearance last year about getting into the mind-blowing biz. "It's a ton of fun helping patients get better." Boyle's clinic also offers other treatments popular with the 1 Percent, like stellate ganglion block, an anesthetic injected into a nerve cluster in the neck to calm the body's fight-or-flight response. Billionaires like Bob Parsons, who's battled PTSD since returning from the Vietnam War, have raved about the treatment. "Celebrities tend to be more inclined to be on the hunt for highly effective solutions across beauty, health, mental health, nutrition and so on," Boyle said in an interview last year about the treatment. AOC herself is no stranger to touting the benefits of hallucinogenic drugs for therapy. The "Squad" rep, who campaigned to end the federal prohibition of marijuana in 2018, has three times proposed legislation to make it easier to study magic mushrooms and other psychedelics. As a freshman congresswoman in 2019, she introduced an amendment to allow the feds to spend taxpayer money on studying the medical potential of psilocybin, ecstasy and other drugs to treat mental illnesses, calling the early research "promising." "It's well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration and into medical consideration," she tweeted at the time.

It's funny, I'll bet you wouldn't of said that about him if he was still alive-
He has been a far right islamophobe and homophobe for at least 25 years. Supported Prop 8, supported islamic hatred, supported banning gay teens from public groups, supported birther conspiracies, was a Reagan republican as well so he's been a shit for about half his life at least.
"He wike twump so I no wike him."
Ok. lol.
The only reason we're even talking about him is because he gave modern meaning to the great white hope. He was a misogynistic, far right, bloodthirsty supporter of genocide.

That's the gist I get from those interviews. Chuck is a class act and didn't want to come right out and say it. When he was in that movie with Lee, he was still competing as a karete pro and doing so at a championship level. So yes, in an actual fight, Norris would have won and that's not a knock on Lee. Bruce Lee wasn't a pro fighter at least not at the level Chuck was.

I actually have a former work colleague (huge operation, didn't know him well) who lost his son in that tanker crash. Was an accident apparently as the tankers were switching out, and was at night. It's dangerous. There were trainees working it which is why there were more flyers in the plane than normal. Tragic. But you have to train at some point. At least that is the story being passed around among the work community.

Not that it would matter but search tells me that the Chief Justice of the United States does not have direct authority to discipline federal judges.
He could send a complaint to the circuit court but they've already ruled that they won't rein in Boasburg. He could temporarily suspend them, if the rest of SCOTUS agreed, although I don't know for how long. That's about it.
It's really on Congress and the House won't impeach because they know that the Senate won't convict. The weakness in our system is that it depends on the people in office to have honor.

Supposedly Chuck was at a restaurant having a private dinner, and someone at a nearby table was able to record the conversation. Chuck was asked who would win in a real fight between him and Bruce Lee, and he answered without hesitation "Bruce Lee".
Since they trained together at one point, and were friends, if the story is true, I doubt he had reason to dissimulate.

When I look at his filmography, I see someone who hadn't made a decent film in over 30 years. Even if you were a commie cocksucker like he was, most of his professional life was a parade of mediocrity, made even more tragic because the first 10 years or so held such promise.

Yes, studies show it reduces depression. I ran into this in semiconductor clean room studies - every study showed that every intervention reduced particle count -- it turned out that studies reduced particle count because people being studied stop doing lazy things. So announce a study and things will automatically improve.
I think the same is in play with these depression studies. Being in a study reduces depression.

The House could easily impeach him. The problem is the 2 or 3 week waste of time while Senators, pro and con pontificate, at the end of which time, the Senate will not have the 66 votes necessary to convict and remove him.
Until we have 69 Rep senators (allow for the RINOs) impeachment is just sound and fury, signifying nothing.

NYT sued the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth last year because of the new credentialing and access policy. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., ordered the Pentagon to reinstate the press credentials of seven NYT journalists and struck down some restrictions.
The Pentagon immediately closed the "Correspondents’ Corridor" that reporters were used to using. But they will be able to use an “annex” outside the building.
When it's available.
The spokesman for the Pentagon didn't give a date for construction, let alone building it.
Now the reporters and their legal eagles are having a snit-fit.

Market rumors are that the next meeting (scheduled for Pakistan) will be between Kushner/Witkoff and the head of the parliament and former IRGC commander.
Controlling Kharg Island doesn't do anything for protecting trade in the strait. Look at a map. It does enable control over Iran oil exports, but so does kicking their ass militarily, as has already happened.
Controlling the Iranian coastline would help protect shipping through the straits but Iran is a huge country and could fire on oil tankers from anywhere, even well inland. Only a deal that stops missile production and destroys the remaining inventory truly protects Hormuz shipping.

Here's what Roberts could do: Hire a dozen new clerks. Have a couple in Boasberg's court at all times; Have a few looking over every ruling that asshole makes. When he makes a stupid ruling, sua sponte it up to the Supreme Court and immediately reverse it per curium. The Supremes would have to work overtime, but eventually Boasberg's boss might get the message.

Yep, that's what made his murder so tragic. Aside from the writing (which he didn't do), that's a great list of films, one that any decent director would be proud of.

They saw the "truckers" protest in Canada, and understood that truckers - being independent and blue collar - lean Right. They needed to crush them. Same with police (going back to clinton), military (with obama and his attempt to trans it), construction and trades (with the massive immigration, and heavy industry (by offshoring it),....
It is all planned -- they target the people they don't like. Immigrant workers not only replaces them, but it reduces wages and punishes them. Then they let in the drugs and destroy those people and families - put them on the dole like they did with the black community. They are evil

GOOD facts.
I don't panic (ok, unless there is a snake involved, and then I levitate a foot or so vertically and run in air first).
I don't question if things change under President Trump.
Example in my life: making rounds, a year out of school, find a man in insulin shock coma, post op transfer. Known diabetic.I had to interfere with his insulin dose by his quack MD weeks prior when he was NPO.
Do I:
[] Panic, run for breakroom in tears
[] Wait til the next shift when he will be dead
[] Call for help
[] Push code button (he's alive, breathing)
[] Go to crash cart, get syringe of glucagon, inject
[] All of above
I gave him glucagon IM, standing orders for RN in charge, placed him on his side and he woke up quickly vs dying in front of me.
I called the hospital nursing supervisor and reported the MD. Filled Incident Report for medical board. Told all the nurses on my floor that this doctor is dangerous.

Revealed: Joe Kent Kicked Off the Entire Candace Owens Project to Attack Erika Kirk and Claim the Jews Killed Charlie Kirk
Lunatics. Vicious psychopathic lunatics.
So here's the story as alleged: A TPUSA employee named Andrew Kolvet says he wanted to leave no stone unturned in the search for Charlie Kirk's killer. This was in the early hours after the murder, before police discovered the rifle with Tyler Robinson's fingerprints on it, and his texts telling his gay furry lover he was going to do something wonderful. Kolvet knew Joe Kent. He passed to Kent some private DMs of Charlie Kirk -- if I have this right -- complaining that one Jewish donor had stopped funding TPUSA because he didn't like the organization platforming confirmed antisemitic monsters Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Kovet's idea -- stupid from the start -- was apparently that maybe this Jewish donor might have killed Charlie Kirk. Kolvet claims he never believed this, but that he wanted to make sure every possible avenue of investigation was open. It's silly, but I'm sure he wasn't thinking quite straight in the hours after his friend was murdered. He trusted that Joe Kent would act like a responsible government official in handling the texts in a responsible, official way. Instead, antisemtic Nazi conspiracy theorist Joe Kent began demanding that Kolvet make the chats public. Kent wasn't investigating the texts; he was trying to create a podcaster "investigation" and public witch-hunt. Even after the assassin's identity was known to everyone who isn't a Jew-hating psychotic. Kolvett refused to make the chats public, because he says he didn't want innocent parties baselessly accused. Especially given that the killer was now known and was not a disappointed Jewish donor but a radical left-wing gay furry sodomite. And then just a week or two later, Candace Owens starts talking about the chats and Tucker Carlson can't stop talking about them, either. Later, Owens actually publishes them. Kovett's conclusion is -- and it seems hard to doubt -- that Joe Kent was a determined conspiracy theorist who could not let go of the idea that Jews Killed Charlie Kirk, even after the proof emerged that the killer was a non-Jewish furry-fucker. And after Kolvett repeatedly refused to make the chats public, Kent gave them to Candace Owens (and probably Tucker Carlson too, although Owens could have given them to Carlson). Note that Joe Kent was a government official and ostensibly a high-ranking counter-terrorism official, but decided to leak private DMs he had been given in his capacity as government official to an extremely unreliable and toxic internet personality. That might be a crime. I don't know. The texts weren't classified but they were sensitive personal information given to a public official for purposes of an official government investigation -- not to leak to a hair-on-fire lunatic podcaster. It is definitely a fireable offense, whether or not a criminal one. And I wonder if it might be the subject of a lawsuit by TPUSA and Erika Kirk, who have been absolutely brutalized due to Joe Kent's leaking to the maniacal conspiracy theorist and defamer Candace Owens. And now Joe Kent announces that he will testify on behalf of Charlie Kirk's actual murderer Tyler Robinson and tell the jury that no, the Jews did it, let this innocent patsy-of-the-Jews free.
Here are the facts: Yes, I shared the screen grab with Joe Kent because I was told I could trust him and I wanted EVERY possible lead pursued. We've done this quietly behind the scenes with countless items.

One thing Wilson makes clear is that conspiracy theorists are absolutely impervious to facts.
Any time a fact is brought up that contradicts their theory, they conspiracy nut will find a way to fit the fact into their worldview, rather than adjusting their worldview to align with objective reality.
Grifters, who make their living peddling conspiracy theories, are even less receptive to objective reality interfering with their grift.

At the same time that people feel a desire to believe in something that is good that is greater than themselves, they also want to put a name to something responsible for all the evil they see. It is something that can be fought instead of just realizing people are kind of shit.

Any time a fact is brought up that contradicts their theory, they conspiracy nut will find a way to fit the fact into their worldview, rather than adjusting their worldview to align with objective reality.
yes, it's endlessly tedious and frustrating.
It's like Nosering Theory -- people with noserings make their trauma their entire personality. The conspiracy theorists make their conspiracies their entire personality. And any pushback on their completely-unevidenced florid belief structures is taken as an assault on their value as a person and their intelligence, which, to be fair, IT IS, and they just show themselves to be the emotionally-incontinent shrieking babies that they are.

Yea, and I would go one further: the conspiracy theorists will not only find a way to fit a contradictory fact into their theory, they will find a way for the fact to bolster their theory.
I've literally had people tell me, when confronted with a complete lack of any evidence whatsoever of their conspiracy, and quite a bit of contradictory evidence, that "well of course, the conspirators want to keep the conspiracy hidden!"
They really believe the complete absence of any proof of a conspiracy is the best proof the conspiracy exists. Infuriating.

I'm going to do a post on this, maybe tomorrow. Tucker is now pushing Russian Empire Restorationist Duggin's Interesting Theory that the US should allow China, Russia, and Islam to each have their own inviolable sphere of influence.
Obviously a Russian Empire Restorationist would want to see Russia allowed to control Eastern Europe without any western push-back, but... um why would an American?
Tucker is now pushing the left's foreign policy, explicitly -- and is an official Useful Idiot. Useful Idiots are defined as those who will simp for Russia and claim that Russia has a "right" to its "Zone of Influence," but whenever America or Israel acts in its own interest, they flip the script and start talking about International Law and Norms and "Genocide." It's only the tyrannical anti-western powers who are allowed to act in their own interests.

That's exactly what it is. In Wilson's story, a conspiracy theorist who promises a "Grand Theory of Unification" for conspiracies has vanished. Jack is hired to find her.
Along the way, he encounters various nutballs who all have their own crazy theories (UFOs, Men in Black, Trilateral Commission, etc.). Wilson gives entertaining exchanges between characters who subscribe to different conspiracies, each of whom believes THEY have the correct answer.
Turns out the missing theorist is the only one who is close to the truth...Which is behind all other conspiracies.

Wow guys, one of my hobbies is giving serious answers to rhetorical questions, so it's a nice challenge to do it in the character limit. Here we go!
The gnostic grift goes back to Jesus's time and beyond, to Eden and the Serpent. Secret knowledge is at the core of every confidence scheme, and socialism and Islam are both in that category -- albeit as whole-of-society grifts, with rewards for self-conquest beyond the dreams of avarice. In either one, whichever clique gets control of the apparatus of the State also acquires all the stored wealth of the country, and enslaves the whole nation on top of it.
As Orwell showed in 1984, having a secret enemy is handy for socialist sociopaths' social control. And Emmanuel Goldstein was an obvious choice, because Jews are a handy target for neo-gnostic cult-like grifter cliques. And fin.

This relates to Carlo Cipolla's writing on stupidity -- stupid people create problems. They believe stupid things and harm others with no rational purpose or goal.
What makes CT (conspiracy theorists) bad is that they have built their own self image around a stupid belief. They defend that against all odds.
But other people do the same - Leftists, Libertarians, Democrats, gays, the French, etc.

A full majority of traffic to people like Fuentes and Owens comes from the third world, mostly places like Pakistan.
Mix that with the Democrat Party's turn away from Israel as something to defend, especially from the younger generations (many of whom are imports from...the third world), and there's your answer.
It's a combination of fake online only shit (the podcaster wars) and real world issues (the Corbynization of the Democrat Party).

The is much danger here Will Robinson, indeed. Mixing current geopolitics and the modern State of Israel with Biblical prophecy/eschatology and general End Times stuff, not to mention Christian theology vs Judaism is quite dangerous. I see a lot of people doing this, and it can be exploited, very insidiously by the anti-Israel forces out there.

all "conspiracy theories" but the first is false and the latter two are true. But the FNM uses the same term for all three because they want you to believe the latter two are fake as well.

It is as simple as that.

Normal people see through the need for clicks, the lies, the rage, the insanity.

There are Jewish Christians as well. Replacement theology didn't say the Jews don't count anymore, it's everyone else. (Which is what saying "the gentiles" does.)
It's not a "oh, maybe I was a little broad." Replacement Theology doesn't think that Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists are the new chosen people, which is what you implied.

Vance is the walking dead. Anthony Scaramucci says that there's zero chance he becomes Vice President since he wavered from Trump's messaging.
One of the first things he did while running DOGE. Was eliminate a bunch of positions from the NHSTA. Those positions oversaw the viability and safety of FSD. And people still trust their safety in this guys hands.
They also made cuts to FAA and we just had a major accident at LaGuardia due to (most people speculate) overloaded controller.
Fake news, Tesla has more internet bots than Tesla sales. How do you think Trump won the election 🤔 Nothing Musk has done in the last 8 years has been a success and Tesla was only successful because of government welfare.
They are allllll over Northern Va. it’s revolting. He fired a huge chunk of the population here and yet here we are. And I gotta say, most of the drivers are not white and if they are they are over 50. For whatever that’s worth.

One, Joe Kent is not an FBI official or a police detective or any kind of investigator of crimes. Why Kolvet gave him this info, who knows. Second, investigators often release bits of info or evidence to the public if they believe they have a reason to do so. There isn't some sacred of duty of confidentiality on the part of the government if you give information to an official investigating a crime.
Also just because the killer has been conclusively identified doesn't mean the investigation should stop, because he might have been part of a conspiracy.
But more to the point, there is a fight among his supporters and backers to determine where Charlie Kirk stood regarding support for Israel at the time he was killed. Both sides are publicly arguing for their position and there is nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, one of the biggest issues that has gotten swept under the rug is the incredible amount of brain-damaging drugs the gay furry and the shooter and their circle of friends were into. Turkey Tom on YouTube did an eye-opening expose on this back in October using discord chats but it fell into a black hole.

When she dared to laugh and smile while still in mourning? The prudishness of people judging how she needs to behave after her husband died is almost Victorian.
According to them she can't laugh, she can't dab tears from her eyes when she cries, she can't hug a friend on a public stage, she can't run a company, she can't raise her kids. I'm sure she's far from perfect, but the demonizing of her has been wild.

The theology here can get quite complex. In his later years while his mind was still sharp, my father got concerned with this. I remember some long arguments he got into over all this, and I wished I had paid more attention.
It's OT vs NT, and the role of the Church vs "old Israel/chosen people/covenant" and all that mixed in with End Times Israel.
There is a belief, primarily "dispensationlist" that came about that there is sort of parallel track, one for the Church and one for Israel. My father came to reject that as just not viable, not supported by his reading of basic scripture.
And again, mixing this with the modern geopolitical situation just makes a mess.

.......................
I never follow anyone of these people. I don't have time. Never have, never will. Never listen to them. Therefore it's pretty hard to influence most people, as I doubt I am alone.
If people are so weak-minded and blunt their own intelligence by "following" people, well, I can't help them. As my mother would say,"Would you jump off a roof if they did?"
They DO NOT represent Christianity nor conservatism for ME. And I feel many would agree. They talk/yap/to whover is listening.FOR MONEY and FAME.
I have never voted in a single election based on anyone's views but my own.
No one influences me but Jesus. And possibly my husband on some things. I have the IQ to read and decide for myself. Therefore I have no fear of these idiots marring President Trump's ideas.
We don't need these clickbaiters. I don't, anyway.

Gateway has at the top of the page -
Newly Released Documents Reveal Judges Beryl Howell and Boasberg Secretly Worked with Jack Smith to Bring Charges Against President Trump
So if you have judge(s) conspiring with corrupt prosecutor(s) to bring falsified charges recalls the Simpsons "President" episode, everyone gets two.
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher
The problem for both judges is that the discussions were happening before Grand Jury convening. Howell was trying to give Smith everything he wanted in prior witness and evidence rulings before she stepped down as Chief of the DC district court judges. Thus, Boasberg would accept her rulings for the incoming grand jury indictments in DC for Jack.
Both judges may have just committed conspiracy crimes outside of their cozy DC district if the Russia Russia, Dem scam peachment and others are treated as they were--a grand coup against the elected government of the US.

Latest on X is that the LDS charities are donating to Ham Ass plus funding mosques in Utah.
Source is Amy Mek but supported by some evidence
A 2013 peer-reviewed academic paper published by Brigham Young University (BYU) states:
“This outreach is exemplified by the LDS church’s donations of $25,000 to the construction of a Utah Islamic Center mosque, Hindu temple, and other places of worship.”

Some of these walk away people, like Scott Pressler and Brandon Straka, turned out to be wonderful and true mensches. Some like Candace said great things, but their walk away devolved into grifting and antisemitism conspiracy theories.

That's another big one with his. Divide MAGA, as well as divide Israel and the US.
What is Trump doing with the Donroe Doctrine. Reasserting American control of our hemisphere primarily, as well as being the "world's hegemon" or whatever. Taking out Iran's nuclear ambitions and getting rid of that geopolitical cancer on the world is part of that.
If you're the Chicoms or Rooskies or some Islamo-caliphate nutjob, you don't like that. You want American to go back in decline, and not reassert itself. Diving MAGA is a way to do that, along with throwing a monkey wrench into US-Israel alliance.

It’s run by a guy named Chris Butler and is an offshoot of the Krishna movement which he had been a part of.
It’s all yoga, and Hindu-type, guruism.
I don’t understand any of it, but as cults go it seems to be pretty mild and slightly right-wing on some issues; no alcohol or drugs, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Islam, etc.
I have no idea if Tulsi still participates but she seems to have distanced herself from the group and Butler since it became known she was associated with them.

Eh, the LDS church does that with every religious group in Utah. They have helped fund synagogues and episcopal churches and Greek Orthodox churches in the state when they have building projects.

Z-Bag has a long history of murdering and jailing his political opponents and chasing them down in other countries. So what would he do to one who was headed for the Presidency, where he had promised to cut off the billions?

If you're a little bit paranoid about being screened by Cloudflare, be aware that Cisco is one of the very leftist/LGBTQetc companies headquartered on the SF Peninsula. 45 years ago.when I dealt with them they were VERY gay friendly, and, given the leftwing sea that they swim in in the Bay Area, I doubt if it's changed.

Tyler Robinson was more likely the receiving end of the menage a deux. That made him malleable to perform an (accused) act outside of his normal behavior.
Andrew Kolvet and Joe Kent seemed already prepped to publicly (mis)guide the reason for Charlie Kirk's assassination. In a crime investigation, always consider sources to be misdirection. Immediately pointing to the Jews without solid justification gives no credence to the plausible reason for the assassination. If our FBI had two neurons communicating together they would add Andrew and Joe to their in-depth investigation.

Despite Hurting Miniature Senator Rand Paul's Fragile Feelings, Markwaye Mullin is Confirmed as Secretary of DHS
Democrats Preparing Failure Theater on Their DHS Shutdown?
I don't know much about this guy except that I have vague memories of him standing on the open borders/"Comprehensive Amnesty Reform" side of things a few times.
But if Trump thinks he can be browbeaten into being useful, fine, I'll defer to Trump.Bill MeluginMXM:
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: The Senate just voted 54-45 to confirm Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) as DHS Secretary. Applause & cheers break out. The only Republican no vote was Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). The only two Democrats to vote yes were Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) & Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM). Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) didn't vote.
The Senate on Monday night confirmed Sen. Markwayne Mullin as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, handing President Trump another key cabinet win as his administration moves to tighten its grip on immigration enforcement and national security. Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican and close Trump ally, was approved in a 54-45 vote, with a largely party-line split that still saw a few notable defections. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the lone Republican to vote against the nomination, while Democrat Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Martin Heinrich of New Mexico crossed the aisle to support it.When Paul was questioning a vote of Mullins', which I think showed Mullins as weak on the border, Mullins said something like "I can see why Rand Paul's neighbor beat him up." Paul made this his primary case against Mullins -- not the vote, the comment about Paul being very punchable. He told Mullins to tell him that to his face, as if he were some kind of tough-guy. This is like a dweeby fourth grader saying "Say that to my face" when in the presence of three teachers and the Vice Principle. Rand Paul is an unserious pansy bitch and I can't wait to primary xim.
The confirmation caps a swift rise for Mullin, who Trump tapped earlier this month to replace Kristi Noem. In announcing the move on Truth Social, Trump said Noem would transition to a new role as "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas," while praising Mullin's record in Congress, noting his decade in the House and three years in the Senate and calling his performance "tremendous." Mullin, a former mixed martial arts fighter turned lawmaker, quickly embraced the nomination, signaling alignment with Trump's agenda at a department that has become central to the administration's immigration crackdown and broader homeland security posture. "I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security," Mullin wrote on X following the announcement. "I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the Senate and carrying out President Trump's mission alongside the department's many capable agencies and the thousands of patriots who keep us safe every day."Democrats have admitted that they have shut down the DHS to inflict pain and inconvenience on the public, so that their media allies can claim it's all Trump's fault.
For over a month, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security -- inflicting pain on over 100,000 American families missing paychecks and causing widespread disruption to millions of travelers across the country. Democrats have misrepresented negotiations in the press, been unresponsive, prolonged the suffering of hardworking Americans, boasted that they are "very serene" about this dangerous shutdown and are now openly admitting they are "making people hurt."The Trump Administration has negotiated in good faith from day one to fully fund DHS and avoid this dangerous shutdown, but instead of working towards a solution, Democrats have responded with a list of unserious, extreme demands that would seek to reinstitute Biden's failed open-border agenda, protect criminal illegal aliens, and put American citizens -- and the law enforcement officers who defend them -- in danger. Let's be clear: these attempts to defund our federal law enforcement agents and border security are unacceptable to the American people.
Trump's Nefarious Scheme to use ICE agents, whose salaries are fully funded, to serve as emergency TSA agents as Democrats ruthlessly attempt to shut down the country is actually working, says CNN.

Elon MuskAllegedly, Democrats are ready to make a deal, though I suspect they're offering a "deal" in the same way Iran's mullahs routinely offer "deals." Ed Morrissey, quoting Punchbowl DC:
@elonmusk I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
Suddenly, Senate Democrats want to play Monty Hall on the stalled funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. Multiple outlets report that a new deal will fund DHS, except for a slice of ICE's migrant-removal operations. However, Republicans have a plan for that, and that may cost Democrats more than just a little face:Maybe this did it:Republicans would then try to fund the rest of ICE via a party-line reconciliation bill. That strategy opens up another option, however:
For the first time in more than a month, there's optimism that the Senate and the White House can finally find a path to reopening the Department of Homeland Security. Key Senate Republicans returned from the White House late Monday with a noticeably upbeat demeanor over the state of the talks with President Donald Trump, who had just rebuffed a GOP-backed off-ramp. The framework under discussion would fund all of DHS except for ICE's migrant removal operations, and could eventually include some reforms that Democrats have been demanding.
GOP leaders would also try to use reconciliation to enact elements of the SAVE America Act, which mandates photo IDs and citizenship verification for federal elections. Trump has called this bill his top legislative priority.

I used to be TSA when they first stood up and at peak travel periods a large percentage of our people were doing crowd control and making sure people had everything they needed before they got into a screening line. It makes sense to pass those duties off to other people and let the TSA people focus on their job of screening passengers.

Democrats have tried seven times to get TSA funding and Republicans have refused every time. I'm in the ATL security line now. ICE aren't helping anything. They're just standing around and chatting.
They aren’t there doing any real actual work. They won’t run belts or security they are there because the orange doofus wants to use them as his personal threat gestapo.
Remember, Dems tried to pass TSA funding 9 times to which the Republicans say no. They want their stupid ICE funding and SAVE act to suppress voting. Hold out as long as it takes as ICE is literally killing citizens.
They are not there to assist, they are there to acclimate people to the gestapo. This is theater.
Trump has brought up fort sumpter in tv interviews multiple times. I believe he’s putting all these armed men under his direct control all over the place in hopes that someone, anyone will engage and begin civil war 2. In which case he can declare martial law and retain the presidency indefinitely.

Newsweek: Trump is crazy as hell but the 25th amendment is probably a nonstarter because Vance and the cabinet would have to play ball and that's not happening.

Obama intentionally "made people hurt" by unnecessarily closing national parks and war memorials when Republicans shut down the government.
That seems to be how they punish Americans for voting in ways they don't approve of. Either that, or they are thinking that if they cause enough pain it will help them in the midterms.

The entire effort to 25th Amendment a president is undone by a single letter from the president to the Speaker of the House.
Anyone pimping the 25th Amendment on a president who isn't in a literal coma is a retard who should be ignored.
So, ignore Newsweek. They are retarded.

IIRC the funding shit show was about DHS, which is the parent organization of both ICE and TSA.
If one was funded, so was the other. If neither was getting money... why was it a "TSA related issue?" I mean, other than the media spin.

Up until the 2025 inauguration, illegals were not only in airports by the thousands, they were getting free airfare and were exempt from TSA screening. Also, in Chicago, an entire terminal was closed off as living space for illegals.

Also helps that last week was a big travel week (spring break) and airports are always crowded then. I think lines would be shorter this week even without ICE.
As I said in an earlier post, the pics I've seen of airport lines looked normal for busy travel times. Even with TSA at full capacity, wait times through security at busy airports at busy times could be over two hours.
All that being said, if Trump wants to take a victory lap for reducing airport wait times, then go for it!

They're doing the amendment stuff in fits and starts in the Senate. I think they're doing the actual debate stuff in between other matters.
Stringing the base along for months and then either still going to a cloture vote or trying something as idiotic as reconciliation with a non-budgetary measure would be a level of stupid I don't think Thune has in him.
I mean, this is the guy who got 98% of the OBBB originally written passed even after the Parliamentarian pulled out a bunch of it. He just...put it all back on the final amendment (well, like 95% of what she had pulled out).

There are always legislators trying to build a brand name for themselves--Rep. H.R. Gross of Iowa was known as the abominable No Man for objecting, etc. to funding bills. Sen. Proxmire had his Golden Fleece. Sen. Mondale was noted as a major critic of NASA spending and IIRC caused a kerfluffle over astronauts taking small items to space and then selling them as a way to supplement their salary.
And legislative leaders make some allowance for legislators to peacock on certain issues in order to fund raise and to raise their electability. At a certain point though, you piss off enough of your colleagues that you are effectively done as a legislator. No one votes for your amendments, no one co sponsors legislation with you, your home town priorities are not funded, then you are simply a figurehead.

According to newly released documents by Sen Grassley office, it appears Special Counsel Jack Smith conferred with both DC Chief Judges Beryl Howell and James Boasberg as to their legal strategy in targeting the president and his associates.
I said for years both Howell then Boasberg were in cahoots with Biden DOJ to rubber stamp, even advise, any strategy set forth by Jack Smith.
Howell "loves the idea."

Salaries, capital spending, etc. yes. Apparently though the funds for removal of illegals are regular line items in the DHS funding bill.
The whole thing should have been funded through reconciliation in February but there may be some pretext why that hasn't been done involving the SAVE act, politics for the midterm, and the war in Iran.

Easiest is just go back to status quo before 9/11. Current law allows airports to adopt private security as I think several West Coast airports have that operate under federal security rules. Simply get rid of the TSA jobs and privatize the whole thing.

Well, yeah. UA let Bakshi on board after Boorman dropped out. They offered the Boorman script to Bakshi, but he outright rejected it saying that Boorman didn't understand The Lord of the Rings.
Boorman, who is still alive, might be the smartest dumb person in movies because he often doesn't understand what he's responding to, like Exorcist II being some kind of response to the original Exorcist that...completely failed to understand what the Exorcist was about and ended up just repeating the same point in crazier clothing.

I am a Delta frequent flyer, always have been since college when I flew anything getting me back to college the cheapest, often with 2 stops before destination Crazy.
I would rather fly on my broom than fly Frontier or Spirit. Especially from Ft Lauderdale.
Over a decade ago I flew SW because it was a direct and cheap flight to MS. Then they pulled out of Jackson (who could blame them?). So now to get there we fly Delta straight to crazy NOLA and drive to avoid Atlanta.
My husband flew all the airlines when he was working. Always said Delta was the best. The worst was United.
Son flies Delta every flight, as do we. He flies several times a month for business.
This is unpaid PR for Delta and I do not lie. I may be a whole lot of things, but not a liar.

It is an interesting contrast between Frodo and Sam after they returned from Mt. Doom. Sam was less traumatized by the experience because he continued to have hope and he didn't carry the Burden of the One Ring nearly as long as Frodo.
Frodo had mostly given up by the end. He couldn't come back to the Shire and allow the natural beauty of the world to heal him. He needed supernatural healing and Valinor was the only place he could get it.

While Tolkien did have obvious military backgrounds, the word he uses for Samwise in his letters is yeoman.
It's more about the good lord and his faithful servant in a rural context.

Boorman thought Exorcist was all about abusing Linda Blair. Literally. That's all he thought it was about. I'm not sure he even finished watching the first movie.
So, he made a movie about how the young girl needs to be rescued by a priest selflessly which is...the first movie.
And yes, Frodo bangs Galadriel in his script. The pdf is easily findable and downloadable if you want confirmation.

You gotta admit, Peter Jackson did unfortunately make Frodo quite feminine. And the scenes with Sam are kinda hard to watch. But maybe that's my brain being perverted by current culture and it read differently back then.

It's like every time Frodo and Sam looked like they were about to start sucking each other's dicks, Sam would start wistfully reminiscing about strawberries or that hobbit THOT he liked. Questionable.

I think the virus has invaded deeply into mitochondria. The energy part has gone kaput. I will rise again to do something tomorrow. And have a rare nap to recharge/restore/rehab re something. Maybe I just need a V8.
Apparently I can only do one thing a day this week. Yesterday: babysit. Today: eye doc. It's a pathetic parade of pity/irritation.
In nursing skool I had a cold and my then bf/now husband asked me what was wrong. I said thrombocytopenia because I did not feel like discussing it. He got quiet with respect.
I get no respect now (ok, that's a lie, he does everything including driving me to the eye doc when I normally drive myself). Probably to protect the car and innocent people in my path.

Able Seaman Sian Dowsett, 25, allegedly groped four of her Royal Navy colleagues – two men and two women.
Based on HMS Dauntless, AB Dowsett is accused of grabbing the men by their crotches, stroking their arms, and making comments such as: ‘I like my coffee how I like my men, big and strong’.
She allegedly smacked women sailors’ bottoms and squeezed their breasts, on one occasion asking: ‘Do you like that, baby girl?’

At least she was an equal opportunity groper. And she's a 1. OK, a 1- at closing time.

Diversity Is Our Strength: Woke Australian PM Goes to Mosque to Curry Favor With His Country's Rulers, Is Chased Out of the Conquerors' Temple and Sent Running for His Bodyguards
This is from last week, but due to the unfortunate Hamster Walk-Out on Friday, I never got to it.
David Strom was likewise late on the story and wrote about it yesterday.Australian PM, Anthony Albanese, is exactly what you would expect from a left-leaning Western leader in these fraught times. A big fan of the mass migration, "diversity is our strength," soft totalitarianism that has been so popular within the Anglosphere and the EU, he has bent over backwards to welcome in hostile Muslim immigrants, reassure them that Australia was fertile ground for radicalization, and a critic of any and everybody who questions whether that is such a smart move.He went to Sydney suburb to beg for the support of his colonial masters. The suburb used to be white working class, but is now majority Muslim. He was called a "genocidal pig" and chased out of the mosque with some threat of violence.
BREAKING: Australian Prime Minister Albanese went to a Sydney mosque for Eid prayers to stand against Islamophobia, only to end up being threatened, with everyone screaming “Allahu Akbar” at him.

Get some nice pictures of him in the mosque with some paid off muslim looking people and get to pretend like he cares. Afterwards he'll go back to making policy that aims to disenfranchise muslims.
He literally had Bibi over and that did not go well in Australia. He brought out the riot squads on the people.
There was some anger, but it was controlled. Say your piece. Regardless of your political view, that is true raw democracy there. Honestly, this stuff makes me proud of what we have in Australia. It’s not perfect, but we do get politicians who get out there and cop it. It’s a tough gig.
Albo looks scared AF in there. As he fucking should be. He decided to betray his voters by supporting the genocide of Palestinians, then decides to *go for a photo op in a mosque.*

In Iowa, college student Mollie Tibbits was murdered by an illegal immigrant while going for a run. Her cuck father said:
Sadly, others have ignored our request. They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie’s tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed. I encourage the debate on immigration; there is great merit in its reasonable outcome. But do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist. The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr., “heartless" and "despicable.”
To the Hispanic community, my family stands with you and offers its heartfelt apology. That you’ve been beset by the circumstances of Mollie’s death is wrong. We treasure the contribution you bring to the American tapestry in all its color and melody. And yes, we love your food.

Well, scientifically, Arabs -- and Jews and Lebanese and Kurds and all Middle Easterners -- are indeed "Caucasians." As are 90% of Indians (from India), no matter the skin color. The (basically) four meta-racial groupings, despite the attempt by the Woke Left to expunge them from reality are still valid: Caucasian, sub-Saharan African, Asian, and Aborigine/Melanesian. (And yes, of course there a few outlier groups).The basic pre-migration diving lines are: Everything below the Sahara Desert is "Sub-Saharan African" (a.k.a. "black"); everything north of that and west of a zigzag line going from the Burma/Bangladesh border up through Siberia is "Caucasian" (i.e. "white"); everything east of the line is "Asian"; and the extreme southwest Pacific Ocean islands are Aborigine/Melanesian. We have mapped out all the DNA, not even in dispute anymore.Asian descend from Denisovans, Caucasians from Neanderthals, Africans from neither.

The left doesn't have an easy answer for why they shot Kirk, because if right leaning and moderate people really do come to understand the left believes it has a right to kill anyone that says things they don't like well...things could get sporty.
They also can't exactly ignore the story so their strategy is just to claim the shooter is either a rightwinger or an Israeli agent. That way they don't have to address it. And no, they don't believe it either.

This is a publicity stunt to undermine the prosecution. He won't be called to testify. He's not saying that Robinson is innocent. He's saying that Robinson had accomplices, including "foreign" sources (whoever could be mean by that?), and the FBI wasn't allowed to investigate these foreign sources.

Who's paying for this team? Utah taxpayers!
A judge determined Robinson could not afford private counsel, triggering the county's constitutional obligation to provide a qualified defense in this capital (death penalty) case. Utah County hired Kathryn Nester (a former public defender) as lead counsel, later adding experienced out-of-state attorneys including Richard Novak and Michael Burt (who has prior Menendez brothers trial experience)
The county approved ONE MILLION DOLLARS in defense of Robinson and expect that to be extended by EIGHT FIGURES to which they will go hat in hand to the state legislature so the entire state of taxpayers can foot the bill

Thanks. From what I understand, a significant part of the belief regarding unborn life in Judaism and in Christianity stems from how Exodus 21:22-23 get interpreted (two men struggle and strike a pregnant woman), whether the sudden delivery of the child is "premature" versus "miscarriage" and whether further harm refers to the baby or the woman. Those are very different interpretations with very different conclusions to draw. So it hard to keep it simple when focused on this particular portion of scripture.

As Travis Kelce and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, move closer to their long-announced wedding, an unexpected leak has thrown their carefully guarded plans into chaos. The media revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to play the next NFL season only after tying the knot. Now, as per the latest reports, Swift, who already has a lot on her plate with all the wedding preparations, didn’t see this coming. Hence, this leak has left the singer feeling “rattled,” and Kelce is actively trying to get to the bottom of this.
“In this case, there’s some chatter that the leaks are coming from someone in Travis’ camp, so now he’s on a mission to figure out who’s blabbing, which isn’t exactly his favorite thing to be having to do,” an insider recently revealed to HeatWorld on March 20. “But he is taking it seriously; anything that upsets Taylor, upsets him. At the same time, he’s also trying to get her to relax about all of this."

“In this case, there’s some chatter that the leaks are coming from someone in Travis’ camp, so now he’s on a mission to figure out who’s blabbing, which isn’t exactly his favorite thing to be having to do,” an insider recently revealed to HeatWorld on March 20. “But he is taking it seriously; anything that upsets Taylor, upsets him. At the same time, he’s also trying to get her to relax about all of this."

Regarding the breakup between Simon and Garfunkle: Despite the fat that Paul Simon is a jerk and an asshole, I have no choice but to take his side in the breakup: Garfunkle had a nice singing voice, but could not write songs. Ability to sing is a fairly common skill. Simon was so-so at singing, but an absolute genius at songwriting. And songwriting is an extremely rare, very very difficult skill. One person in a million can write an original song, and one person in 10 million can write a good memorable original melody. 95% of Simon+Garfunkle's success was due to Simon's songwriting skills. Lots of mediocre groups had good singers, but never hit the big-time because they had no good original songs.

I want to see if his expression changes from "startled look of man after surprise colonoscopy in an elevator" to sheer terror of possibly dying.
He always looks the same, therefore I call him Startled Starmer.
I could probably knock him down in seconds by pushing him as I casually walked by. I am getting over a virus and could still do it. Then give him the green laser of disgust stare and he'd wee himself.

Correct that it isn't a religion. But I don't think it;'s a cult, either.
Islam is a political ideology -- the medieval form of what would late be called "totalitarianism."
It is pure Western misunderstanding that we labeled the toxic belief system a "religion" when we first encountered it.

Local Crime Story Update: Crazed Abortionist Who Routinely Murdered Children After They Were Born Dies in Prison
As a wise president once said, "Good, I'm glad he's dead."
If you remember, a twat pro-child-murder feminist progressive explained away the media's complete refusal to cover the grisly serial murders because, she sniffed, it was a "local crime story."
Kermit Gosnell, the former Philadelphia abortionist convicted of first-degree murder in the brutal killings of three infants born alive during illegal late-term abortions at his notorious "house of horrors" clinic, has died in prison. He was 85. Gosnell, who was serving three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole plus an additional 30 years on federal drug charges, died at SCI Huntingdon, according to sources familiar with the matter. His cause of death was not immediately released, though he had reportedly been in declining health in recent years. The news emerged publicly via pro-life journalist Ann McElhinney, who extensively covered his 2013 trial, interviewed him in prison, and co-authored a book on the case. In her announcement, McElhinney described Gosnell as "the abortion doctor who is thought to have murdered thousands of babies in a 30 year killing spree" and called him "a chilling monster who could sometimes come across as charming." ... A Philadelphia grand jury, in its investigation of Gosnell's Women's Medical Society abortion center, labeled it a "house of horrors" and initially sought charges for hundreds of murders of babies born alive and then killed. Charges were ultimately limited to seven murder counts "after pressure from senior political and law enforcement officials," according to accounts from those covering the case
Greg Price
@greg_price11 16h Reminder that the mainstream media had to essentially be cyberbullied into covering the 2013 Kermit Gosnell trial after refusing to do so for weeks to protect the abortion industry. His crimes were so shockingly evil, but the only thing that finally got the media to cover it was the backlash after a Philly blogger posted this picture of the coutroom's empty press gallery.

325 Agreed about the first two points, but expanding the strike zone is a non starter for me. I think they should simply move the strike zone up from the knees. That way there would be more line drives, more fielding, and perhaps fewer snoozer home run swings.

The move means members of Congress and their staff will no longer get access to a dedicated airline help desk that fast-tracks bookings, changes and support.
Now congress members will have to endure the misery that the masses have faced while they have been swept through check-in with ease.
Perks included airport escorts and red coat services. But for the time being, while its Capitol Desk reservation line remains active, lawmakers will now 'be treated like any other passenger according to their SkyMiles status'.
'Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,' the company said in a statement

That's not far off from what the real Gosnell did.
Although he focused on butchering babies, he also killed at least one woman that we know about -- and joked about it. God only knows how many babies he really murdered, and adults he murdered or maimed, over the course of those decades.
It's also insane to me that poor women (almost all minorities) would repeatedly go back to this monster, when a much easier, cleaner, and less dangerous solution was readily available (birth control).

Well, since the passage won't automatically take people off the rolls in the states, what it means is that the Civil Rights' Division's efforts to clean up voter rolls will become more permanent.
If some election clerk in Michigan decides to just add someone back onto the rolls without proper documentation of verification, well, they can get picked up by federal law enforcement.

That building he was working out of still needs to be torn down. No reason that it’s still standing, esp in that part of the city. So much death and suffering took place in that building.

I don't watch any gore anymore unless it's somewhat wry like Evil Dead II or that I've seen a thousand times. I don't watch TV and movies to be disturbed. I am disturbed enough.
There is something to how pedowood and the news media presents their violence and bad news that makes me sense the demonic influence. Like the devil showing what he can do.
The news especially, when it's breaking and awful. They are almost gleeful with it - unless it's specifically something that will help the communists like George Floyd. Then the fuckers get somber.

Is it a normal phrase people use? It was completely unfamiliar to me until I heard them using it just a few months ago.

@DataRepublican
MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution
...
Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year.
But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around the world who have dealt with this directly."

Well, it was Reebok.
And I assume something like 99% of sports endorsements, especially of female sports personalities, are just this side of money laundering.

Did somebody say money laundering? Why didn't I think of that?
Reebok can whip these branded sneakers together in about 30 minutes and have them made by slaves for about $1.64 a pop. I doubt they can ever really lose a lot of money.
Even if they did, endorsing female athletes in sports nobody watches is probably more about politics and danegeld than anything, much like all those yuge book advances to leftist politicians for books nobody will buy.

"Tortue porn." A surprisingly large number of people get off on it. Sometimes it's so over the top that it's laughable (the Troma people are a good example), but the Saw and Hostel films are just out-and-out disgusting pieces that exist to show just how many sick ways humans can be killed. The directors and producers of that evil slop should be shunned from decent society for all time.

I would argue Gosnell was far and away much worse than Kervorkian. Gosnell murdered thousands of innocent victims - unborn babies and even babies born alive whose spinal cords he'd cut with surgical scissors if they made it out the womb. Kervorkian, warped though he may have been, provided assisted suicide to people who made a choice about ending their own lives. He was involved either directly or indirectly maybe up to 130 deaths. Rookie numbers compared to Gosnell.

I only feel old due to "post viral syndrome" which is a thing now. A hangover if you survive. I am going to beat this tomorrow and garden. Possibly croak among my rose bushes and spring flowers.
Today at the eye doc (regular visit all is well) a super old man behind me was talking about "seeing his nutritionist next week." I am not going there willingly and think three docs I have to see (eye, derm, ARNP) need to arrange a conference once a year to see me and then leave me alone.
I hope Gosnell is in the lower bowel of hell.

The Morning Rant: Anonymity
Under our Constitution, anonymous pamphleteering is not a pernicious, fraudulent practice, but an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent. Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. See generally J. Mill, On Liberty and Considerations on Representative Government 1, 3-4 (R. McCallum ed. 1947). It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation-and their ideas from suppression-at the hand of an intolerant society. The right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. But political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse.
It is relatively simple for political and social elites to speak freely; they have walls, both figurative and literal, built around them by dint of their wealth or their government connection. It is exactly those people against whom anonymity is a powerful weapon, because their reach is far more powerful than the mere citizen. Entrance into the public sphere as a politician (or the quaint term: public servant), or commentator, or pundit, or as an entertainment figure immediately expands one's megaphone far beyond that of the citizen, and it also affords one the protection of the organized media, the state and, sadly, in many cases, the long arm of the state or media that reaches out to punish one's interlocutors. Against this we have one tool: anonymity. And who are the enemies of anonymity? Those who have other protections!
Here is a comment from a purported 1st Amendment lawyer, who thinks that anonymous speech should be held to a different standard. He was responding to some "famous" person whose name I barely know, but whose attack on anonymity is self serving and intellectually weak. I cited one obvious need for anonymity...The United Kingdom, which is busily imprisoning people for their speech! But there are countless others here in America that are powerful defenses of anonymity as one of the pillars of our free discourse in ideas. For example; "Whistleblowers" are sometimes self-serving and craven, but there are numerous examples of their importance in exposing government malfeasance. And our current legal and political structure was debated in The Federalist Papers by "Publius," (Hamilton, Madison, and Jay), and rebutted by "Federal Farmer," whose identity is still not certain after almost 240 years! If anonymity was an appropriate right to be exercised by those men, then it is certainly something worth defending. In spite of the technological advances since 1787, instant communication via the internet has changed nothing...we are all still pamphleteers! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. If you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow us it would be much appreciated!

Further, the article says that it would be, effectively, failure theater for the Dems as they'd then use reconciliation to get the stuff the Dems object to.

You can get honesty.
But you can also get less reality. If you don't KNOW the person talking, they could be anyone....a fed, an op like Uncle Palpy or Q or a few other nics...could be a fuzzy legged foreigner proporting to be a citizen....could be a smart labrador retriever. Or a bot. Or AI soon enough, if not already.
I worked at MSFT back in the 90's and early 2000's and I realized early that anonymity is a lot of work with relatively little chance of success. Unless you go all Uncle Ted and go seriously off grid, the government knows who you are and what you post online.
So I decided back then to only post online under my own name (porn sites aside). If I wasn't willing to say it using my own name, maybe I should say it. Anonymity was a comforting lie anyway.

And yes, being submissive sexually with men was discouraged strongly and considered shameful. How accepting Rome was of homosexuality is complicated and shaded. Partly due to Greek cultural contamination.

The hysterical news reports show pics that look like normal lines at busy times. Also, most show what appear to be lines at gates to get on the plane. That's past TSA security and would not be affected by any shutdown. I very strongly suspect this is a manufactured hysteria, as per usual.

It does require some effort and a real message to be a successful pamphleteer, like Ace, or other sites that build trust over time. But the government certainly knows who Ace is. And the multitude of shadow banners and censors actively suppress the distribution of those digital "pamphlets".

I hate driving. It's boring and makes my back hurt.
Better than driving a part of the way there, dealing with Charlotte airport parking, walking into the airport, waiting in lines, waiting for my flight, sitting next to strangers, dealing with another airport, fighting for an Uber, and then driving another 30 minutes to get to the hotel on the other side of town.

Yes...travel is a liberty, and there are modes of travel that will afford you that liberty from most government interference. But you can't enforce personal anonymity on private corporations such as airlines. TSA is an interesting point though...
You could buy your own plane and bypass TSA entirely.

Most of us should be thrilled about our "white heritage". And not because of "white privilege", but because of the values with which we were raised. Plus on the IQ level we came out pretty high on the "totem pole" as well.
And besides the whiteness, there is the American identity those of us over 29 learned in schools and from other groups of old (Boy Scouts, DeMolay, even little league).
But with indoctrination in schools, white kids now learn how evil their heritage (allegedly) is. The high carb diet and BigPharma infiltration has also made America weaker. All intentional, from what I can tell.

You're assuming the umpires are "bad" as in making bad mistakes. I don't think it's a coincidence that the (apparent) sudden uptick in terrible calls costing games and points took place at the same time as sports betting exploded.
I'm sure someone can run some AI program on all the games in all sports with active legal betting markets that had very controversial calls and compare the outcomes to the bet action. I will almost guarantee there will be some non-zero number for r.

Pure speculation that it decided the series. No one knows what would've happened had Denkinger made the correct call.
And maybe if the Cardinals had shown up for the next game -- Game 7 -- instead of getting blasted by the Royals, there wouldn't be any controversy.

I like this

It reminds me of
* life's end / the smelly drunk seated at the next table over in the library / a Wal-mart greeter
The artist was particularly adept in their use of
* the color brown (were they a Wyeth?) / ordering takeout meals through Door Dash / fragrance free cleaning products
What this painting needs to make it better is
* a sniper / a doggie / happy little trees / a bonfire

Beyond the technical qualities of the painting, which are huge, Guercino provides an emotional aspect. The man is aged but not decrepit. The yearning in his expression doesn't feel sad but acknowledges the passing of his prime and possible losses in his life. There's memory and reflection but not despair. Maybe acceptance.
I would hang this without hesitation. Most men my age would identify with this image and the feeling behind it.

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (Guercino)
artuk org: Head of an old Man, Guercino (1591–1666),
Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
This boldly executed painting is probably an oil sketch made from the life as a study of physiognomy and expression. Although the man's gaze and the warm lighting suggest that Guercino had in mind a figure of a saint or a prophet, it is not connected with a final painting, nor is it a fragment of a finished work.

The Morning Report — 3/24/26
A massive explosion ripped through the Valero refinery in Port Arthur on Monday, sending a towering column of black smoke over the city and triggering an emergency response across Jefferson County. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. . . The Valero refinery in Port Arthur is ranked as one of the ten largest refineries in the United States. Valero reported the refinery produces 435,000 barrels of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel per day.In the wake of Israel's recent strike on a key Iranian/Qatari oil facility and President Trump's threat to obliterate Iran's energy infrastructure if the regime does not capitulate or accede to his demands for a cessation of hostilities, is there a link to Iran or was this some freak accident. Given the our props borders and joke of an immigration enforcement system prior to the Trump era, sabotage not only can't be ruled out but IMHO it most likely was the cause. Perhaps this brainwave might be pushing things but our own homegrown traitors in the form of Antifa and the red-green-climate change maniacs could have used the war as cover to pull off an attack or are in league with Iranian/Islamic terror cells? And then this happened:
Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB), a major U.S. strategic bomber installation in northwest Louisiana, has just experienced an unusually serious series of unauthorized drone incursions over its most sensitive areas. More than a dozen unsanctioned drones repeatedly swarmed a US Air Force base that is home to a nuclear bomber fleet — and were able to resist efforts to bring them down via jamming technology, according to military officials.
And speaking of the common denominator of "Death to America"
A Chicago alderwoman appeared to blame an 18-year-old woman for her own fatal shooting last week, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien. Chicago police announced Sunday that Jose Medina-Medina had been arrested for the murder of Sheridan Gorman, a freshman at Loyola University. Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden speculated that Gorman was in the “wrong place at the wrong time.”I guess we are all in the wrong place at the wrong time! We are Americans in a nation that has been subsumed by a cancerous evil malign force known as the Democrat Party that seeks our domination via the destruction of our society and culture.
Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker refuses to say whether he will honor an ICE detainer request for an illegal alien accused of killing an 18-year-old college student. Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman was walking in a park on Thursday morning around 1:00 a.m., to “catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights” when Medina-Medina allegedly approached her. Gorman “attempted to flee,” but Medina-Medina allegedly shot her in the head. Gorman was pronounced dead at the scene, according to local reports and the Department of Homeland Security.Fuck that noise. Send in the Green Berets to storm the jail and take the scumbag out by force - and Arrest Fatzker for insurrection or obstruction of justice. He needs to swing if he dares interfere, but there isn't a construction crane sturdy enough to hoist him up by his brontosaurus neck. Have a great day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
- ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY LINKS
- The blast erupted inside the sprawling Gulf Coast facility shortly after midday, shaking nearby neighborhoods and prompting officials to warn residents to stay indoors as fire crews and industrial‑hazmat teams rushed to contain the incident.

Chicago Official Says Murder Victim May Have ‘Startled’ Alleged Illegal Alien Shooter
- ICE arrest of illegal migrant fugitive at San Francisco airport sparks fear-mongering — here’s what really happened
NO SOB STORY: Outrage erupted at the San Francisco International Airport after ICE agents arrested a woman at the air hub on the eve of President Trump’s order to deploy the officers.
- Instead of gutting immigration enforcement, he’s sent ICE into more than a dozen of the nation’s busiest airports to make up for TSA’s missing manpower. Democrats, predictably, are furious — and fearmongering to the nth degree. “The last thing the American people need is for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports across the country, potentially to brutalize or to kill them,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries frothed on CNN’s “State of the Union.” What about the Americans brutalized and killed by illegal-alien criminals?

Feds Charge Azerbaijan Migrant with $90M Healthcare Fraud DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, THE COURTS, WASTE/FRAUD/ABUSE - ICE was deployed Saturday to assist Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers amid a nationwide airport crisis, as the partial government shutdown left TSA officers without pay and suspended their “nonessential privileges and courtesies,” according to DHS. President Donald Trump had threatened in a Saturday Truth Social post to deploy ICE agents to airports if the “Radical Left Democrats” failed to agree on a funding bill — hours after a fifth vote to end the shutdown failed 47-37.
ICE Agents Arrive At US Airports Amid TSA Shortage As Democrats Keep DHS Shutdown Going
- The effects of the TSA shutdown have been mixed, but major airports have seen massive security lines at peak travel times. Unpaid for the second time in recent months, TSA officers are quitting or calling in sick at growing rates. Democrat Party messaging is deadly simple . . .

- Robert Mueller is dead, but his toxic legacy lives on in the destroyed lives of the innocent victims targeted by the Russia collusion probe that bears his name. To understand why President Trump had no kind words for the former FBI director when he died over the weekend at age 81, you have to understand the human toll on the president and dozens of his friends and allies. Who knows whether Mueller, who had Parkinson’s, was in command of all his faculties when he was appointed special counsel at age 72? But the deep state evildoers on his team knew exactly what they were doing when they used his formerly prestigious reputation to pervert the course of justice for their “Get Trump” frolic.

- It isn’t the job of a special counsel to exonerate anyone. It’s also not his job to convict anyone. That gratuitous line in the conclusion of his money pit of an investigation served as nothing more than a lifeline for Democrats and the rabidly anti-American, anti-Trump media to maintain that they had every reason to continue calling the president a Russian agent, though they had none.

138 FWIW I got my death sentence last Monday after a PET scan showed that prostate cancer has metastasized into my bones. Medication will slow it down but there's no stopping it.
I've been around here for a long time, starting about the time LGF went straight to hell, maybe a little before all the bans started.
I've seen so many come and go, now it's my turn. I don't know how much time I've got but I'm making a list to do things I passed up but feel the need to see. I'm hitting 71 in 2 weeks and you can bet the farm I'm putting my travelling shoes on before I can't any more.
Ya'll have been the wittiest group of morons I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I'll be lurking as it's what I do best.

Gmac, so sorry to hear your news. While this may be of zero help, there is one possibility I can suggest. I have no idea where you live but a fellow I know had a death sentence from prostate cancer that similarly had advanced to his bones and got himself into a trial at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, using (primarily) an estrogen therapy, changing and strictly controlling diet, and quarterly visits for study purposes. It has worked, at least so far.

I was on a bunch of flights during Biden's term. A lot of airports were full of illegals. Some airports even had special lines for them.

It feels like we've rapidly lost, or are rapidly losing, our common cultural identity with one another. Be it from highly divided political differences, or the massive influx of foreigners with no relation to America and no desire to relate to it, we've become a sea of non-unity.

Probably an urban legend, but it was rumored that under *biden's reign illegals were provided with government issued documentation that permitted their unfettered travels throughout the country. Mostly on our dime.
I do not know if this little "benefit" was rescinded under Trump. It should have been. But, then again, there's still a lot of illegals here that "should" have be ejected last year. Thanks to the judicial coup underway.

ICE replacing/assisting TSA in US airports will do literally nothing about illegal immigration because TSA doesn't handle immigration in US airports; CBP does. Need a Praetorian Guard solution ASAP.

I took one for the team. I did a bit of searching. He has short stumps for arms and legs. His limbs were amputated somewhat above the elbows and knees. He has or had a short pair of artificial legs, the blade type like those of South African Oscar Pistorius. I didn't find pix showing any sort of artificial grippers at the ends of his shortened arms. The ends of his arms do have flesh and blood bifurcated 'appendages', that can act as a stumpy thumb and index finger. Probably due to special surgery. Enabling him to grasp and hold a beanbag and hold a handgun in his left 'hand' and 'pull' the trigger with the right one. I get the impression he plays in a handicap cornhole league.

Here are the facts.
ICE arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Lopez — both Guatemalan nationals with a final order of removal from an immigration judge dating back to 2019. While being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers.
This arrest happened before ICE officers were even deployed to airports to assist TSA. It had nothing to do with the DHS shutdown or the airport security mission.
SFO isn't even one of the airports where ICE is expected to assist TSA — it uses private contractors for screening and isn't affected by the shutdown impasse.
None of that stopped the pile-on. State Senator Scott Wiener held a news conference outside the airport declaring ICE was "terrorizing a mother." Congressman Kevin Mullin demanded immediate answers about a "kidnapping." San Francisco's mayor called it "upsetting."

Um, why were you buying Iranian oil?
Kinda interesting how all these countries around Iran are in crisis over oil they weren't supposed to be buying.
And yet, somehow, none of that money was going to the Iranian people.
Almost like all these governments were colluding to help Iran evade the sanctions and they were all pocketing the cash and bribes ....

This is the playbook — every time. Film the arrest. Strip the context. Claim it's a citizen. Generate outrage. Get politicians to amplify before the facts come out. And then never correct the record once the truth is established. Seven years. That's how long this family had a removal order and remained in California. California's sanctuary policies made that possible. ICE finally enforced a court order — and elected officials called it a kidnapping.

Oil is fungible. Loss of oil from anywhere means less oil everywhere, even places which didn't rely on that location for oil as the places which did need to replace that supply with oil from elsewhere.
It's probably also a symptom of Iran trying to destroy oil facilities all over the Gulf, and possibly in Texas.

This is the problem - Trump for all his virtues clearly doesn't want to be the guy to start arresting insurrectionist governors and judges.
The primary point of government is to protect its citizens from having their God given rights taken away by foreigners. Here not only is IL not doing that, they are paying and protecting the invaders. This is no different then in 1942 if the governor of Alaska protected the Japanese "undocumented immigrants" in his territory and should be legally treated the same way FDR would have treated it

Oil is the biggest fungible commodity on the planet.
Oil is bought on contract. Oil in the refineries and already in tanks at gas stations were bought at a certain price previously.
The fact that the price jumped a dollar a gallon is because they can. They oil companies are bidding on hasn't come out of the ground yet. They raise prices because you have no recourse.
No different than raising it a quarter just before a holiday weekend. That gas in those underground tanks at the gas station was already bought at xx dollars. THAT gas didn't go up. They raised the price because they can.

As I understand it, and I'm not an entrepreneur so I could be completely wrong, the price that they charge is based on what they expect to pay to replace what they sell, not what they paid for the product.
If they were to charge their cost plus some reasonable markup, in a time of higher inflation they would go out of business as the money brought in from selling inventory would be insufficient to purchase new inventory.

As for the OF stuff... I really, really, really, don't understand that. Absolutely everything you can see on OF can be seen for free somewhere on the internet. I can only assume that some of those guys truly believe that they're actually interacting with the girl and that she actually gives a shit about them beyond how much money they can squeeze out. The numerous interviews with OF girls where they express their complete disgust for their customers notwithstanding.

When I get through the Morning Report editorial, full of awfulness, and see "Have a great day!" — it's a little bit cringe. Almost could be construed as cynical, although I don't really think that.
Maybe move the cheery greeting to after the "quick shout out" et al.?

That’s the sad reality that underlies just about every strip bar anywhere. The regular customers are lonely men who’ve decided there’s one girl there who actually likes them; the girls are mostly angry addicts who despise their customers but who know how to act, and hide it. It’s really a pathetic scene all the way around.
And I guess OF simply moves that scene online.

Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden was speaking after Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old from Yorktown, New York, was shot dead on Thursday morning while she walked with friends along the city’s lakefront near campus.
They might have unintentionally startled this person at the end of the pier. We don’t believe there is cause for broader community concern.

Hadden’s comments come despite police reports that Gorman’s killer stalked her from behind for some time before shooting her at point-blank range and fleeing the scene.

Valero Energy Corporation is Delaware-incorporated, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and serves as a major manufacturer and marketer of transportation fuels and petrochemical products.
It operates multiple Texas facilities. Valero acquired Premcor in 2005, taking ownership of the Port Arthur refinery & other refining operations. It has a refinery & terminals in the UK, a refinery & terminals in Canada, and terminals in Peru.

ICE wasn't assigned there to aid TSA. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) uses private contractors for security screening rather than federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents, making it the largest U.S. airport in the federal Screening Partnership Program.

Marsy’s Law ensures that victims of violent crime have equal, constitutional rights on the same level as those accused and convicted of those crimes. Published: Nov. 6, 2024
In part, (WIFR) - More than four in every 1,000 Illinois residents are affected by violent crime each year despite a nationwide drop in crime.
On Nov. 4th, 2014, Marsy‘s Law was added to the state constitution winning 78% of the vote – more than 2.6 million voters. Leaders say this law is among the strongest protections of crime victims’ rights in the country.

nacdl org: Justice for None: How Marsy's Law Undermines the Criminal Legal System
Marsy’s Law is the colloquial name for a model Victims’ Bill of Rights that enshrines victims’ rights within state constitutions. Victims’ rights were already codified and protected in most states. However, Marsy’s Law enshrines its flawed one-size-fits-all model within the state constitutions, creating unintended consequences for the criminal legal system.
[Released August 2024]

Only 12 states have signed Marsy’s Law into their constitutions.

Top Story
- Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh desktop CPUs are here - the 250K and 270K Plus. (Tom's Hardware)
Are they fast? Yes. They close in on the regular AMD parts for gaming, and the 270K competes with the 9950X for heavy desktop workloads.
Are they power-efficient? Not especially, but they are a big improvement over Intel's notoriously power-hungry 13th and 14th generation chips.
Are they good value? Definitely. $200 for the 250K with 6P and 12E cores, and $300 for the 270K with 8P and 16E cores would make them hard to resist if you could buy the rest of the components for a system.
Should you buy one? Probably not. These run in Intel's Socket 1851 platform and that will be retired within a year for Nova Lake and its Socket 1954.
If that's not a concern - and particularly if you already have DDR5 memory sitting around - then yes, these look worth considering.

I stopped by Best Buy over the weekend and looked at the Neo again and the various Windows 11 PCs in that price range. As a complete package the Neo is sort of the perfect light duty PC. The materials to build it are first-rate, It has a bright and fairly accurate screen, the keyboard is excellent, and because of the solid single core performance, it's pretty snappy. Get the one with the touch ID and the 512 GB SSD and it's sorta spiffy.
The Neo has slow SSDs but for it's targeted use case fast SSDs are not necessary. I have a Surface Go 2 with a 512 GB microSD card in it which I use for OneDrive storage; it's been working just fine for 4 years.
The Neo is also hits its thermal limits rapidly and ramps down to about 4W. That pretty much gates the it's performance. People have cracked open the case and put a thermal pad over the area where the CPU is so it makes contact with the case and that helps get rid of the heat and improves the performance.
Like you, I've never owned a Mac OS machine so I'm really interested in hearing your first impressions.

Aren't we fancy. The M5 CPU for everyday computing Is rather solid. People are running Final Cut Pro and Photoshop on it without complaints. The Air address is all the limitations found in the Neo. I'm torn between buying a Neo, since it makes an affordable experiment, and jumping up to the Air as a potential first long-term Mac. Like you, I don't need another computer but the idea of having one is so intriguing that the only question is how much is it going to cost me?
Did you get an M4 or an M5 model?

I don't either, but I've got one from work.
Parts of the UI will drive you mildly batshit or moderately increase your batshittiness. The UI still thinks it's on a 1984 Macintosh where there's exactly one menu bar and that's on the top of screen.
If you only run one thing at a time and it's always maximized to fill your monitor, then you'll be a happy camper. If you have multiple windows on your monitor and a relatively large screen, you'll always have to move your cursor to the top of the monitor to access your application's menu bar.
If you have multiple monitors, you'll probably find that the Mac OS doesn't understand how to properly manage application windows across them.
On the plus side, Option-spacebar, type in your application name (with completion), and you can launch any program your system knows about. Shift-uparrow and you can see all your open windows in a mosaic across all your monitors. It's a weird blend of BSD unix and NextStep, so you can open a Terminal application and run commands in a shell (zsh is the current default).
I find it much less annoying than Windows but I wouldn't buy a Mac. YMMV.

MacOS is a lot simpler than Windows.
There aren't a lot of different settings, spread around through the control panel, etc. Everything is contained in the Settings app, mostly.
Apple provides a few of their own software for free if you download them; Notes, Music, Quicktime, but also you can get Garage Band (music creator/editor), iMovie (video editing), and their iWork Suite, which you download for free, has Pages (Word processing/Publishing), Numbers (Spreadsheets), and Keynote (Presentation).
A little advice for anybody getting a Macbook Neo, or who have an 8GB RAM Mac of any kind; always leave at least 10GB free space on your SSD/HHD as with that amount of memory the system your drive as a swap file, a lot, and if you're storage is out of space it will lock up your computer and crash out until you free up more space. I had to learn that the hard way several years back.
With 256 or 512GB that SSD will fill up if you use a lot of apps or save a lot of hi-rez photos and videos.

Did you get an M4 or an M5 model?
Posted by: Alteria Pilgram - My President has convictions. at March 24, 2026 05:18 AM (glnUu)
Amazon and Walmart regularly sell older model Macbook Airs (13" & 15") with M1 - M4 chips on sale. You can save a few hundred dollars there. If you want to save even more, Amazon has Renewed Airs for a few hundred more off, if you don't mind a used machine.
If you want to just try it out and don't need the newest M5 chip that's an option to get a better deal.

Went past 8 large installations of wind farms. In every farm, there were some turbines that were not moving, with feathered blades. Three sections of wind farms south of I-70 had no blades turning. The wind was too strong for them to work.

I helped her move stuff from an interior room to her new storage shed. Filled about 20% of it before my back said no more. The process was impeded by Jake, her wonder dog.
She treated me to a good lunch at a good tavern, just a few blocks away. She is good people.
The drive back was busy. Once north of Salina, there were cars on the road. So only 100 miles of travel without company on the road.
Got to watch the ranchers get green fields ready for hungry Angus.

Thanks for the good input. I don't particularly find Windows 11 that annoying. I know the OS so well I know how to work around 95% of the complaints with the remaining 5% I don't care about. The long-term trend though has me scratching my head and because of that I've been looking at Macs as an alternative. If Microsoft actually follows through and fixes the legitimate complaints people have with the OS I have less incentive to go shopping elsewhere. Another reason that keeps me in the Microsoft ecosystem is the Snapdragon ARM CPUs. Over the holidays I was able to pick up a Surface Pro SD Plus ARM machine for $700 as an experiment using the ARM platform. It's been nothing but great for me. The SD X2 Elite/Plus machines are due to hit the market any day now. How those pan out will likely factor in how I move forward in the future.. More likely than not, I am going to pick up a Neo for no other reason than because.

We know that wind power takes more energy to set up that it delivers. A thermodynamic failure.
But to see tower after tower without rotation, in a 20 mile span of road, while my car was buffeted by the 45 knot winds, seems to be a particular waste.
A modular nuclear plant array, close to larger towns, would be a better choice.

Thank you for reminding me of that option. I don't need latest and greatest computing devices anymore as my needs are rather set and have been for 10 years. The Neo has to be revved up because it's all new and shiny but a used M4 odds on would be most excellent.

The Smoky Hills have a subtle beauty. Like a well behaved lady with a twinkle in her eye, compared with a tall, brassy blonde, with silicon implants and lots of make up. Colorado, looking at you for the second woman.
I aver the Flint Hills around me are slightly more scenic, if you like vistas of grasslands, ranches, and farms in bottomland.

It'll work and you'll be able to use HomeBrew (https://brew.sh/) to install free software if you need it. Most applications have a MacOS installer as well as Windows.
A Terminal window will give you a unix shell experience versus the Windows DOS/PowerShell equivalent to Terminal. (TBF, I've only kept my Windows partitions around to run Steam and I haven't been playing games so much recently.)

My first professional years were in a Unix environment. It would be fun to get back to fussing around with the proper shell. I will fuss around with Homebrew to see what is available. Being retired I don't have any professional development software needs which simplifies my computing stack. My key software requirements are Microsoft Office and Photoshop/Affinity. The rest is made up of various utilities that make my home network highly useful. This software stack will run equally well on Windows or Apple boxes.

I didn't really delve into the details, but I was surprised to learn that the English version is not a direct translation. They're both anti-war, but "99 Red Balloons" is more of a generic romantic tragedy, while the original "99 Luftballons" is a morbid absurdity: a fake UFO prank leads to scrambled fighters, a gung-ho pilot goes weapons hot, a neighboring country gets alarmed, and provocations escalate until everyone is dead (except for her and one balloon).

Go into the App Store on the Mac and search for "Memory Clean 2". Install that app, and open it, runs in the background on your taskbar next to the Volume, WiFi, Date/Time.
It shows you how much RAM is being used at all times, and you can click on it and hit "Clean Memory" which will clear out anything stored in RAM that is safe to unload.
I use it on my 8GB iMac all the time, and it helps when things start filling up the RAM.

Posted by: Common Tater at March 24, 2026 06:33 AM (C3G19)
This sounds like forced use cases. Having AI go shopping for combs and then completing the transaction strikes me as ridiculous. It's just as absurd as having AI order a pizza, complete the transaction and schedule the delivery. Why? What's the advantage? Maybe some day this will all be common, but I don't think we'll be the better for it. The e-commerce revolution changed the economy; I don't see how using AI to automate consumer purchases adds value, rather it seems that it complicates everything.

California's law doesn’t require photo ID or biometric verification [for all operating systems]; users simply self-report their age during setup. Critics, including over 400 computer scientists who signed an open letter, have argued that the laws create surveillance infrastructure without meaningfully protecting children, since self-declaration is trivially bypassed.
