Court Rulings: Rogue Woke Biden Judge Lifts Her Stay on Trump's Reasonable Order to Check Mail-In Ballot Addressees Against the Citizenship Rolls; Monica McIver Loses In Her Bid for Immunity When She Physically Assaults Federal Officers
The Supreme Court recently lifted the stay on Trump's executive order to the Post Office to check mail-in ballot names against a list of US citizens.
The rogue woke judge who initially issued that stay came up with a Brand New Reason to defy the Supreme Court: She said that because the Post Office had continued making plans for the eventuality that her order was reversed, they had defied her original, lawless and now reversed order, and so she ordered her stay back into effect, the Supreme Court be damned:Her initial stay was unlawful and wrongheaded, but she believes that the Post Office planning for the likely outcome of it being revered constituted "complete noncompliance" so she reinstates the stay the Supreme Court just lifted. As that guy says -- she must be impeached, and if the GOP wants its voters to bother voting for them, they must impeach her. The last time the Supreme Court overruled her, she said she would abide by their ruling, "reluctantly," while writing an order re-asserting all of the bullshit reasons she cited for issuing it in the first place. Now, once again reluctantly, she again removes the stay she seems absolutely demon-possessed to issue:

· 🚨 HOLY CRAP SHE'S GOING ROGUE. Leftist Judge Indira Talwani spits in the face of the Supreme Court and just ruled that Trump's U.S. Postal Service has hereby VIOLATED her block on the mail-in ballot security rules She's going off, aggressively accusing Trump's team of "complete noncompliance" This comes after SCOTUS UPHELD -- for now -- Trump's EO and rules to secure mail-in ballots... IT'S TIME. IMPEACH JUDGE TALWANI. Or it won't stop.

@nicksortor 9m 🚨 BREAKING -- IT'S OFFICIAL: Activist Obama Judge Indira Talwani has reluctantly LIFTED her injunction that blocked President Trump's mail-in ballot restriction order from going into effect USPS can now ONLY mail ballots to LEGAL voters verified by DHS and SSA🔥 Thanks, SCOTUS!
From Crusader: The fat sack of racist-grievance crap Monica McIver attacked workers at the Newark DHS processing station, for which she was arrested. She claimed immunity under the Constitution's Speech and Debate Clause, which, as you might guess from the perfectly clear English words, immunizes Congressmen from lawsuit based on their speech in Congress. (And bad judicial rulings have extended this to speech made outside of Congress, too, so long as it's supposedly "in furtherance of their duties" as Congressman.) This High-Calorie, Low-IQ woman decided that she's also immune to criminal process for punching cops. A federal judge denied her motion to grant her Star Chamber powers to attack anyone she disagrees with.
Rep. LaMonica McIver is not immune from prosecution for her contact with ICE officials during a heated scrum at New Jersey's Delaney Hall detention facility, even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday. "The charged conduct ... is unambiguously non-legislative," 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 opinion joined by Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee. McIver is facing three federal charges related to alleged assaults on ICE officials and interference with them during a May 2025 oversight visit to Delaney Hall. McIver and two other Democratic lawmakers were present when federal officials moved into a small crowd to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who joined them on the oversight visit. The confrontation escalated and became physical, and McIver was ultimately charged with making physical contact with the officials. The 3rd Circuit ruling sustains the bulk of the criminal case against the Democratic lawmaker despite her protestation that the charges were brought for political purposes. McIver pointed to commentary by Trump, his allies and the former federal prosecutor who brought the case at the time: Alina Habba, a former Trump personal lawyer and current White House aide. McIver had argued that she could not be prosecuted because the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause grants lawmakers immunity for their legislative actions.Of course a Clinton appointee dissented, stating that while he would not necessarily throw the charges out, he would like to see if Trump's supposed "retaliation" against her grants her the immunity for punching cops she craves.
Fox News Politics
@foxnewspolitics 2h A Biden-appointed federal judge just sided with the Trump administration against a House Democrat accused of assaulting ICE officers -- rejecting her claim that slamming her forearm into a federal agent was protected legislative activity. Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., tried to get the case thrown out by arguing legislative immunity. The Third Circuit wasn't buying it. The 2-1 ruling found that physically striking federal officers is "unambiguously non-legislative" and "not integral to the legislative process." Two of her three counts survive. McIver fired back, calling the decision wrong and vowing she will "not fold to this administration." The charges stem from a chaotic May 2025 confrontation at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, where Democratic officials showed up unannounced and the situation devolved into a physical standoff with ICE agents.

Yeah, they'll pull out all the stops to assure it isn't applied to the mid-terms. My guess is that the Judge up in Mass. will institute another injunction and rinse, lather, repeat until election day. Stall...stall...stall. Her original injunction was based purely on speculation. She'll do so again.

During a live interview on Fox News, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed forcefully defended the beheading of infidels, explaining it was really the same thing as a haircut. "Have you had a haircut, Jesse?" retorted El-Sayed, upon being asked whether he supported cutting off people's heads with a machete. "Clearly you have no problem with people using sharp objects to cut off parts of your head. Yet, because of your bigotry, you want to deny infidels the opportunity to have their heads cut off with a machete.

McIver had argued that she could not be prosecuted because the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause grants lawmakers immunity for their legislative actions.
If memory serves, that clause only applies to the floor of the House and Senate, which is why Hairy Reed got away with lying through his ass "It worked, didn't it?"

Posted by: I used to have a different nic
I would not do impeachment directly but launch an impeachment inquiry which can be done at the committee level. The advantage is that it pierces the separation of powers doctrine and allows Congress to essentially go on a fishing expedition to collect information as to whether impeachment is warranted or not. So witnesses can be subpoened and forced to testify under oath (transactional immunity forces testimony without the 5th btw) about the back room dealings of these resistant judges like their finances, the calls from and ex parte meetings outside of court with interest groups, call logs, meeting agendas, etc. etc.
This is not random stochastic terrorism, these judges are picked in collusion with the clerk's office in these district courts and circuits in order to do what Eisen and his fellow lawfare types want them to do. Possibly even Eisen's group are writing orders, etc

Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed Hoovers Up Donations from Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Hamas-Supporting Donors to Nazi Troll Dan Blizerian (While Claiming Jewish Safety Will be a Priority for Him)
Weird that his donors don't believe him.
What do they know that we don't? Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed collects donations from a terrorist member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a man so extreme Egypt sentenced him to life in prison:Another gift from Obama.
Egyptian sentenced to life for funding Muslim Brotherhood giving money to Abdul El-Sayed's U.S. Senate campaign
Mohamed Soltan was sentenced by an Egyptian court to life in prison in 2015 after spending two years behind bars alongside his father, Salah Soltan, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood
An Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in prison in absentia by a Cairo court for his support of the Muslim Brotherhood is pumping cash into Abdul El-Sayed's campaign for U.S. Senate. Mohamed Soltan, the 38-year-old president of the American Committee for Middle East Rights, is funneling funds to El-Sayed's Abdul for U.S. Senate candidate committee as ACMER contributes to Fighting for Michigan PAC, the super PAC backing the former Wayne County health official. Soltan was sentenced by an Egyptian court to life in prison in 2015 after spending two years behind bars alongside his father, Salah Soltan, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood who served as deputy minister of endowments for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Mohamed Soltan faced charges for aiding protests against the military coup that ousted Morsi, including funding for and membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, before launching a hunger strike that convinced former President Barack Obama's administration to demand his release in 2015.
After arguing to the West that the Muslim Brotherhood would not be authoritarian like the Iranian regime, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed signed a statement calling for a "purge" of the "media and police."
In April 2015, an Egyptian court senenced the then 27-year-old to life in prison following what Soltan described as an unjust trial, according to NBC News. He was released in May 2015 at Obama's request and returned to the U.S., where he works as an international investment advisor and human rights activist. Salah Soltan [his father, whom he worked with -- ace] was sentenced to death and life in prison in separate trials for inciting murder as one of more than 50 leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood who set up a "control room" to direct "violence and chaos" amid the 2013 military coup. Federal Election Commission reports show ACMER sent Fighting for Michigan PAC $25,000 on June 12, following two contributions from Mohamed Soltan to Abdul for U.S. Senate on April 15. The individual contribution constitutes the maximum permitted by federal election law. Other ACMER officials also contributed to El-Sayed's effort to become the first Muslim Senator in U.S. history. ... The donations follow a documented history of El-Sayed supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. In January 2011, El-Sayed penned a column for the Huffington Post titled "Why the U.S. Should Support the Protestors in Egypt," suggesting Americans should back the uprising that led to Muslim Brotherhood control and Morsi's presidency. ...
Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned just weeks after El-Sayed's column, laying the groundwork for the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi, who became president in June 2012.
... The statement called on Morsi to "purge the media and the police as soon as possible," and "strongly reject these voices that appeal to America and Europe to take a position against the Egyptian regime."
The donors to Dan Blizerian, an actual Nazi who claims to be a "conservative," is also a big fan of the Islamist. Gee I wonder what they might have in common?
Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed is now claiming that he doesn't support the Green New Deal. I guess it's not popular in Michigan. Although he's deleted many of his tweets and old YouTube rants, people saved many of them. Below, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed states his emphatic ALL-CAPS support of the Green New Deal he says he doesn't support.
EXCLUSIVE: Multiple Abdul El-Sayed Donors Also Gave Thousands to Hitler-Praising, Jew-Hating Dan Bilzerian's Congressional Run
The far-left El-Sayed and right-wing, antisemitic troll Bilzerian have absolutely no political views in common except for a strong opposition to Israel
More than a dozen donors to the Hitler-praising, neo-Nazi congressional campaign of Dan Bilzerian have also contributed to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed--in many cases spreading thousands of dollars between the two candidates, the Washington Free Beacon found. Bilzerian, a far-right social media influencer with a trust fund, and El-Sayed, a far-left epidemiologist, have no policy overlap except strong opposition to AIPAC and Israel, but their donors include a man who has equated Zionism to Nazism and a Texas subprime auto loan entrepreneur who also threw his weight behind Israel-bashing Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. The overlapping donor list suggests that El-Sayed's virulently anti-Israel rhetoric appeals to the kind of Muslim-American donors who also buy into Bilzerian's hateful Jew-baiting and offensive trolling. The most significant Bilzerian and El-Sayed donor is Ibrahim Awad, who has given more than $19,500 between both candidates, Federal Election Commission records show. That haul included a $12,651.88 jumbo gift to the Bilzerian Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee. The figure is above the legal limit and potentially a campaign finance violation if passed along to Bilzerian's campaign committee. ...
"Zionism is Nazism. And history will remember every single person who calls themselves a 'Proud Zionist' as a Proud Racist, Genocide Enabler," Awad said in an X post from March 2025. ... None of these dual donors other than Awad responded to requests for comment. While Bilzerian's political career is over for now, El-Sayed is ascendant. The progressive will face Republican Mike Rogers in the November general election, with polls showing a tight race. Neither El-Sayed nor Bilzerian responded to requests for comment.

it would have been nice for the interviewer to ask a follow up question or two after he dropped that flip flop bomb.
Posted by: Mister Scott
================
Is that a specific interview or just standard "journalistic" practice you're referring to?
I'd love to see an interviewer pin a subject down to the ground until they admit they don't know, they were wrong, or they were lying, but live interviewers always want to keep it moving and get to their questions. I think it would be better tv and more dramatic to get to the bottom of just one question no matter what.

Blizerian is a rich trust-fund baby who got his social media start with phony hyper-masculine screeds about women, cars, gambling, and being ultra-Chaddish.
Very obvious overcompensating. He's about as "right" as Nick Fuentes is. And probably sucked as many dicks.
Just look at the dude. Tell me that face hasn't seen dicks up close.

Rep. LaMonica McIver is not immune from prosecution for her contact with ICE officials during a heated scrum at New Jersey’s Delaney Hall detention facility, even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday.
“The charged conduct … is unambiguously non-legislative,” 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 opinion joined by Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee.
McIver is facing three federal charges related to alleged assaults on ICE officials and interference with them during a May 2025 oversight visit to Delaney Hall.

Not likely to fly there. Just like Rep Jefferson's stashing cash in his official offices did not ultimately protect him from being charged with bribery. And bribery is a lot closer to 'legislative activity' than interfering with law enforcement.

Cooper looks like he's doing fine in NC, but NC polling in summer is notoriously bad. Cooper is polling like Cunningham did (actually a tad behind) in 2020 before Cunningham lost to Tillis.
And, I'm going to be honest, I haven't seen a single pro-Cooper thing yet. I've gotten a dozen mailers blaming him for crime. He left office with Helene a complete mess and him a complete no-show. Iryna's death is pinned on him.
And the party registrations of the state have gotten A LOT more Republican since he last ran in 2020. He won by 250,000 votes in 2020. There were 400,000 more Ds than Rs at the time. There are now 10,000 more Rs than Ds.
I think there's a better chance that Whatley wins by Trump 2024 margins in the state than just about anything else.

Technically, he can't just keep the money for purely personal use. But there are so many loopholes to the "rule" that he effectively can. There's a reason why so many dead-bang losers stay in races and keep running even though they have no chance. It's because they want to raise as much money as possible so they can keep it.

This is fucking insane and at this point anyone parroting this shit is complicit.

Don't give in to this discussion.
Why does every Democrat need to be grilled about their stances on a fucking Twitch streamer? Nobody’s asking every Republican about Asmongold.
El-Sayed campaigned with this fascist fuck for months. There is zero chance he can distance himself now. You campaign with a guy who calls jews inbreds, you reap the consequences. Political ads are going to hammer this to death. Get ready to see El-Sayed and Piker together constantly.

White working class voters won't turn out for El-Sayed. There was a clear racial preference for blacks against El-Sayed in the primary, so that turnout should be down, too.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 26, 2026 01:28 PM (hzuYO)
I think the root cause of American "Antifa" is European revcoms, who hate International Jewry (under the codenames "banksters" and "bougies") almost as much as Muslims do. So, while Italian communists of course take their own ideological progeny in Antifa as clients, they similarly find Iran-sponsored Hamas copacetic and simpatico to work with. But no one had to lead the Europeans to Jew-hatred; they were already there.

Maybe it would be a clever maneuver to sacrifice one senate seat and ALLOW Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed to WIN, so that in all future election (for at least the next six years) we can point to him as proof positive that the Democrat Party is the party of Islamic extremism, Jew-hate and communist insanity. He'll be attached to the Dems like a ball and chain around their ankle. We let him, win, and in so doing he'll be the last Dem ever elected to the Senate, with voters scared off the Dems forever.
If we can still keep the Senate 51-49 and allow this guy to be on their team, it could be the best thing that ever happened.

Midterm polling sucks generally as it becomes a lot more difficult to determine who will vote and who will not. Just like Michigan--will blacks vote for the Muzzies, white union members, etc. The GOP has less of a problem there as I think few white GOP males or females want a nasty critter like Sayed in the Senate.

In Leaked Court Transcript, Gay Furry Assassin Tyler Robinson's Lawyers Denounce Online "Conspiracy Theorists" and "Crazies" Pushing Insane Claims
He objects to some mention in the prosecution's motions about conspiracy theories. I guess the prosecution was drawing a negative inference about the defense, based on the insanity of Tyler Robinson's defenders. The Gay Furry Assassin's lawyers say "we're not talking to the crazies."
"There's a reference to, you know, unstable people coming to the courthouse, to conspiracy theorists saying things online. We're all aware of that. I mean, I don't know what the court has read. It's none of my business. I've received some wacky phone calls and emails, people telling me what they think happened here. It's noise. We're not litigating this case in the press. We're not talking to crazies," the transcript read.
🤣Tyler Robinson’s own defense attorney just publicly clapped the entire Candace Owens–Baron Coleman podcast industrial complex.

The only crazies who showed up at the courthouse and who spread crazy conspiracies are TPUSA's propagandists who were invited to come by Erika. Those crazies were spreading lies about seeing video in HD 4k That was so clear you could see Tyler's face, see him taking the shot, etc., which were completely made up lies.

I always forget that. Charlie Kirk, who is a time traveler and an X-Man style mutant according to Cavernous, came to Cavernous in a dream and told her that his wife, and Jews, and the French Foreign Legion, and Mormon Bee-Cultists, and Army personnel at Fort Huachuca, and Egyptian planes, had murdered him.

One scientist who was intimately involved said something that has stuck with me. He claimed that insanity is "contagious", not in the epidemiological sense, but through association. I don't think that's too controversial really. But he also maintained that once "caught", it is indeed heritable. The person making this claim was not what I would consider an honorable individual necessarily, but interesting just the same.
"It didn't work (so we only ran the program for over 20 years?) and we're really sorry, and we'll never do it again". Uh-huh.

That's a misuse of 'heritable'. Sure if you get insane tendences by association, your kids are in a close association with you and are very likely to pick it up as well, but that still is just an environmental/associaitonal link.

I suspect it was funded astroturf ... which I suspect is also true of the Clancy supporters.
It's just that it's one thing to show up to support a black commie who killed himself. It's another to show up to support a stone-cold murderer who killed her three young kids and blame ... the husband.
At this point, any time I see any leftwing protest I assume it's organized and funded.

It's as good of a theory as hers!
I wish someone would put her in a straight jacket, force her to listen, and explain to her that the Furry confessed to his parents, threatened suicide, was taken to a family friend LEO. Who then took him to the police for the Miranda Act and to be booked.
He also, at the same time, in writing, confessed to his gay lover, both in text and on paper. Confessed to his Furry Group online. Used his grandfather's rifle.
Yet none of this is enough for Nostrils. It has to be a conspiracy.
Imagine, if you will, going through the Twilight Zone of life thinking this way. Paranoid. Probably vaginal pruritus
from going commando in her Furry Costume (I am guessing a lioness).
Lying bug eyed at night in fear next to the poor man she married (altho he may be locked into another bedroom for his own sanity and safety with the kids).

In Comedy, people have different tastes like they do in music. Andy was out there but so were Ernie Kovacs and Lenny Bruce, Peter Sellers, etc. Same for Norm MacDonald, Redd Foxx, Buddy Hackett, or Bill Cosby, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, etc.
In fact, that is partly why you see so few brilliant female comedians--you have to get way out of your and your audience's comfort zone to be fundamentally strange. And that appeals to some and doesn't appeal to others. And sometimes even that can change based on context and people surrounding you.
Same reason that some sitcoms use laugh tracks to cue you to laugh along.

Posted by: Common Tater
There are some studies out there that indicate, at least in earthworms, etc., that trauma or bliss in one creature's memory can be heritable via being encoded in DNA.
And from that, along with some genealogical studies, they have found some families have a great deal of trauma over the generations. So they conclude at that a correlation exists but no one can actually point to how that mechanism in earthworms might be tested in humans.

I am deeply saddened by the death of a New Yorker in City custody at a jail on Rikers Island early this morning. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they grieve this loss.
We do not yet know the cause of death, but we do know that too many New Yorkers have died on Rikers Island. The Department of Correction and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
Our administration is fully committed to the critical work of creating better conditions in our city’s jail system and closing Rikers Island as quickly as possible.

The nasty, dirty little secret is that parents killing their kids (filicide) is much more common that people think.
If I were to ask you how many kids are killed every year by their parents, what would your answer be?
Probably no more than a few, maybe a dozen, right?
The real answer is over 500 -- and that's probably underreported.

We have deprecated life in this country and the West to the point Canada and Belgium are killing more people by euthansia than are being murdered in the streets. Several states, MA being the most recent, celebrate killing babies up to full term now. Some ethicists now claim that even children should be able to be killed.

I don't care if she was on a ton of SSI's, etc. For starters she is a RN and could have figured out drug interactions.
She researched "ways to kill." Premeditation. Figured out how long her husband would be gone that day she killed them and jumped out the window.
I have no mercy to give someone who kills innocents.
As far as the insanity plea, she managed to fool others, which makes her a psychopath like Bundy or other serial killers who act normal and murder.
The neighbors and coworkers always comment that the serial killer seemed nice and was quiet.
Her mother and sister said she admitted to wanting to harm her children three months prior, and was acting paranoid. I have to wonder why those around her didn't do anything. Her brief psych rehab should have kept her after she checked herself in. However, psychopaths can certainly appear normal and are intelligent enough to fool professionals.
She needs to remain in prison for the rest of her life.

Viola Davis has slammed Target after the retail giant apologized for selling a racist Halloween costume
Target issued a public apology for the offensive children's costume on Monday, saying that they were 'deeply sorry' for the oversight and had removed the item.
Despite the apology, Davis, 61, slammed Target in a fiery post on the social media app Threads.
'Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above,' the EGOT winner wrote.
'These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people,' she continued.

O’Brien’s music is pretty much the only reason to watch the Rocky Horror “sequel”; and his music and Christopher Lee are about the only reason to watch The Return of Captain Invincible.
He was one of the actors in Dark City, and supposedly (according to the commentary track) he made up music for it just as a lark and would sing it on set while waiting. That would probably be amazing to hear.

So, here's the way it works... Tim Curry was English, but born in Egypt and has vaguely Semitic looks. He's an agent of Hamas, obviously, which he told me during one of his friend-dreams, where he can finally visit me like he never had the time for when he was alive. But he's a double agent.
I was shocked, but he's my friend, so I listened as he told me that he had just had a long conversation - eons long, for those of us still on earth - with Barack Obama.
And he said that they were the ones who killed Heath Ledger. They had to do it for the jihad, he said.
As soon as I heard that, I knew I had to tell everyone about the jihad plot.

Marco Rubio Sanctions Italy-Based Tech "Collective" Making Tools for Hamas; Also Reveals Portland Antifa Shops There Too
Dude's balls are so big he could play for the WNBA.
EXCLUSIVE: A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital. "Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati -- a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world." Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective's services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo. "These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks -- all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law," says the State Department's memo.
A/I Collective has officially been deemed a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The designation bars Americans and U.S. financial institutions from doing business with the group and freezes any assets it has under U.S. jurisdiction. Violators can face civil or criminal penalties. The memo identifies Portland-based Rose City Antifa, known for its violent rioting and destruction, as one of the U.S. groups that relied on A/I Collective tools and services.
Rose City Antifa is listed in the memo alongside a media organization that the State Department says uses A/I Collective tools to disseminate information to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is proliferating inside the United States, Hamas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah and others. The memo also accuses the militant abortion-rights group "Jane's Revenge" -- which declared "open season" on pro-life organizations and threatened escalating attacks after the leaked Supreme Court draft signaling Roe v. Wade would be overturned -- of using the collective's services. The State Department memo says the collective provides its services exclusively to left-wing extremists, screening users for ideological alignment before allowing them access to its tools.

"To sanction" looks both ways (like "to table"):
1 give official permission or approval for (an action): only two treatments have been sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration.
2 impose a sanction or penalty on: foreigners in France illegally should be sent home, their employers sanctioned and border controls tightened up.

The State Department offered no specific details on the training or its timeline. Officials said the initiative aims to help consular officers screen out applicants deemed likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits. It is also intended to ensure evaluation of visa applicants comprehensively and consistently.
"A more prosperous America means ensuring that visa applicants are not likely to become a public charge, as defined under U.S. law and regulation, and not likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits reserved for qualified Americans in need," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

The public charge element of immigration has been law for decades, actually more than a century.
It was reinforced in the 1996 immigration act.
But admin after admin has simply refused to enforce it.
Our problem was never the need for more laws. It has always been for an executive who would actually enforce the laws on the books.

I think Ossoff is still the way to go. A progressive from the south who can resonate with both liberal New England voters and more conservative southern voters. He could win in a landslide election if he ran
a Beshear-Ossoff ticket looks very similar to the Clinton-Gore ticket. A popular moderate governor from a southern state, the running mate is a liberal Senator from another southern state? Obviously a pipe-dream, because democratic primary voters will not elect a ticket that doesn't include an african-american or at least an Obama-alumni.
Sadly, it may still be a tough fight. A not-insignificant number of people think Democrats legitimately want to raise prices on things and make their kids gay as core policy positions.

The three were escorted from Secret Service headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Monday and formally designated “do not admit,” meaning they are barred from entering agency facilities, two sources told RealClearPolitics, which first reported on the suspensions. One of those sources said both the FBI and CIA are participating in the inquiry, pointing to a probe with more weight than a routine internal personnel matter.
All three employees are based in the communications office.

As I LOVE pointing out to the libs in my orbit:
If every single Democrat who 'voted for Biden' voted for Kamala, she'd be president right now.
Why didn't they? Why didn't Democrats vote for the black woman?
Likewise Beto. If every single Democrat who 'voted for Biden' voted for Beto, he'd win.

Remember the "Democrats are for They/Them, Trump is for You" ads?
It was the most effective ad of the 2024 cycle.
It was also the least pointed that the GOP tried.
They tried others with direct quotes from Democrats about what they wanted to do in terms of things like immigration, police, and children. They weren't effective with voters because people refused to believe that Democrats would be that crazy.

Hunter Biden is being sued by the college girl he hired to create the art he claims as his own.
According to court filings, Biden contracted with University of Delaware Art Student Josephine Barron for a dozen pieces, paying 20 percent each time he sold one.
Biden sold the first four pieces for more than $300,000 each and stiffed the artist.
She's asking for the $240,000 he owes her in commission plus $10 million in punitive damages.

The Italian Democrat Party went from major player in Italian politics in the 2000s to essentially a rump party today (they're second biggest, but first and third are right-leaning and coalition together in the Parliament government).
The downfall has coincided with their embrace of open borders.

It was the "Affordability" of that year.
They told you the prices weren't going up when they were. And then they told you it would be minor and temporary.
Now, they want to know when Trump is going to reverse all the price increases that happened in the 4 years of the Biden White House telling you it's not happening, and the "Inflation Reduction Act" in the middle.

Until Democrats embrace closed borders again, I think the populist label is just out of reach for them.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
They, generally, have supported secure borders recently. They love Obama's fake stats as "deporter in chief", and use it to say it can be done more effectively, and with more compassion, than Trump's ICE roundups. It doesn't work, though, because enough voters lived through the Obama years and know it's BS.
The Tea Party was just fed up Republicans trying to get the party to actually enact policy the party was supposed to support. The current Dem issue are multiple factions that hate America and capitalism, know the Dem party can assist in destroying them, but the core of the party doesn't support those things. It's an actual internal power struggle.

The Biden years destroyed the Democrat party's ability to even begin to argue that it wants closed borders.
The images of caravans of people streaming over the Rio Grande. The sudden influx of Haitians in small towns in Ohio. Democrats lost the immigration debate for at least a generation because of that.
They can start going closed borders now, but no one will believe them for a long time.

It sounds OK in theory. You centralize your equipment and don't have to buy, store, and maintain the ovens at each store. Less square footage, fewer employees, lower maintenance costs, etc.
HOWEVER, like many optimizations, it misses the human element. People like smelling fresh cooked doughnuts when they walk in. They like their doughnuts to be warm and newly made. They simply taste better right out of the oven.

And the "art" he produced took a certain amount of color theory and composition, something I think was always beyond him.

There are only two plausible paths to a not-Kamala.
The first is Kamala simply deciding to not run. This is the hope that most white progressives have. That she'll be too embarrassed or tied to tradition to run again despite her constantly signalling since November of 2024 that she was going to run again.
The second is a billionaire who can spend to break media strangleholds on his message and says things that the establishment won't allowed to be said. Things like "open borders was a bad idea, and Biden was a bad president" or "the racialization of our party by Obama was the greatest blunder in modern politics" who then promises "Medicare for All, but only Americans."
I can't imagine anyone who would fit the second.

60.
60 years. Three generations.
Trump is the first president since the passage of the 60s immigration act to actually try to close the border meaningfully, and he's doing it after 60 total years of effective open borders and 4 years of mass importation.
But he didn't fix everything in 3 weeks, so nothing is happening. Gotta vote for the party still advocating for open borders to teach the GOP a lesson. Remember, the people abandoning the GOP in 2006 because of the amnesty effort led to the GOP going hardline immigration right afterward, right?

I'm not going to suggest that FedEx or UPS are not without issues. But there is a reason the Post Office doesn't get a lucrative delivery contract for Frozen Steaks.
They do manage to deliver live Chicks (no jokes, pliz) and bait for fishing shops. But it's a close run thing.
You simply have to have people with a sense of urgency and dedication and attention to detail and all that stuff. Not some POS who tries to do as little as possible and is basically unfirable unless they kill somebody, and even then I'm not too sure. Then they go into Management, because they couldn't hack it out on the street. Nice, huh?

Then Biden adds $47 Billion to the pot while simultaneously removing what little oversight obligation there were. THEN, state politicians fight tooth an nail to keep federal auditors from reviewing the appropriations....while millions, potentially billions are leaving the US via international air travel....A large portion of which likely returns into ;the ActBlue process to distribute as under threshold grass roots donations by unknowing contributors.

But I still go for plain cake, when I eat a donut.
I don't trust Dunkin', though. A lot of locations don't seem to know how to fully fry a cake donut, so it's not uncooked goo in the middle.

"It all began on the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks in Duck, North Carolina. There, Founder Russ DiGilio and his family would enjoy relaxing and fun vacations. But something was missing – there was no place to get that sweet staple of happiness – a warm, fresh donut! So, they decided to create their own which led to the first Duck Donuts opening in 2007."

🚨 OMG MARCO IS A GENIUS.
Days ago, leftist Judge Jeanette Vargas BLOCKED Sec. Marco Rubio from freezing foreigner visas in 75 counties
In response?
He just FROZE VISAS WORLDWIDE for “training” purposes — to ensure the soon-to-be limited number of visas won’t be leeching off the taxpayer dime.
He went around the rogue judge!

Goose Donuts, by contrast, remains more of a mythical rival—perhaps imagining fluffier yeast rings, honking good glazes, and a slightly more grounded (or waterfowl-proud) vibe. While Duck delivers instant gratification and playful rubber-duck branding, Goose might lean into richer textures and a quieter flock appeal.
In the end, Duck currently owns the real-world pond with over a hundred locations. Goose stays the underdog in imagination. Either way, both sound delicious—just watch for feathers in your frosting.

She’s been living in her donut world
I bet she’s never had a plain-cake guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for a Ducktown girl
She’s been living in her glaze-and-swirl
As long as anyone with sweet tooth can
And now she’s looking for a sprinkle man
That’s what I am
And when she knows
What she wants from her sugar dough
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She’ll see I’m not so tough
Just a little soft in the middle
And all she has to do is call
And I’ll be right there by her side
A rubber-duckin’ ride

I'm not even a black hat hacker, but I could spin up something like this pretty quickly using freely available open source software and third-tier hosting providers. The tech is easy, the hard part is opsec - short of using stolen credit cards or Bitcoin to pay for the hosting, there's going to be a trail leading back to you. Alternately you set up a bunch of small physical data centers where all traffic is encrypted in transit and at rest, and do it in a country where neither the ISP nor the government cares that all your in/out traffic is encrypted.

Abdulrahman El-Sayed Defends His Support for Surgical Mutilations of Children By Asking Jesse Watters, "Are You Circumcised?"
I missed this horrorshow yesterday.
Woke 1.0 was Socialist Radical Islamism. Woke 2.0 is Socialist Radical Gay Islamism. NY Post:
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got extremely personal with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday -- asking if he is circumcised -- during a bizarre defense of sex change surgery for minors. "Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed bluntly asked the "Jesse Watters Primetime" host, after arguing that the government shouldn't get involved in transgender medical procedures for children. Watters was floored by the question. "Jesse, are you?" El-Sayed pressed. "Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question -- doctor," Watters responded. El-Sayed, seemingly convinced that he ended the debate with Watters, suggested: "You probably should want to move on." "Circumcision is different than castration!" Watters fired back. Undeterred, El-Sayed argued that it's a "problem" that Watters believes the government should step in to outlaw sex change surgeries for minors but not circumcisions. "I'm just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid's ding-a-ling," the former public health official told Watters. "So if you really want to bring that up, you can ... I just think you guys are really selective about these things." Watters described El-Sayed's position as "wacky" and "sick." "Abdul, Michigan's not going for that. That is sick stuff," he said. The Fox host followed up by asking El-Sayed if he was in favor of "boys playing in girls' sports," which irritated the Senate hopeful. "You have not asked me one time about the issues that people actually care about in Michigan," he said. "You can play this game if you want," El-Sayed fumed. "I just want to understand what you're getting at here." "I'm getting at whether you think men should play in women's sports ... it's a big issue," Watters asked again. El-Sayed dodged the question, arguing: "At the end of the day, the decision of who gets to play what sports ought to be decided by the people who govern sports." He then called it "insane" that Watters would pose him such a question. "I'm running for US Senate," he said. "Jesse, this is insane." Earlier in the interview, El-Sayed refused to say how much his proposal to socialize the healthcare system would cost; would not answer a question about the size of the US budget; and declined to explain why he allegedly suggested the "NFL was racist."Abdulrahman also stuck to his call to abolish ICE. His new hustle, to reassure less radical gay Islamists, is that INS would handle deportations, but obviously he wants to abolish ICE to stop all deportations so no, INS would not be allowed to continue ICE's deportations.
First, INS no longer exists. It was combined with US Customs and became ICE. ICE does everything INS used to do, except with an actual budget Posted by: UGAdawgDoes the Radical Gay Islamist Abudlrahman even hear himself? The NY Post's editorial board says he's so deep in the "weird zone" he has no idea he's weird at all.
El-Sayed and his advisers thought they'd come up with a great way to answer questions about surgically removing children's private parts: Explain that it's just like circumcision. Seriously: Fox News host Jesse Watters brought up outlawing sex-change surgery for kids, and El-Sayed replied, "Are you circumcised?" He then airily advised, "You probably should want to move on," proceeding to declare that anyone refusing to see that both are simply "surgery on a kid's ding-a-ling" is just being "really selective about these things." Nobody not totally blinded by ideology would equate circumcision, a procedure recommended by most medical professionals because of its health benefits, with removal of male sexual organs -- a procedure utterly lacking any medical justification. (The supposed scientific support for treating juvenile gender dysphoria with transitions was purely an insider con game.) Yet El-Sayed is so deep in the weird zone that he thinks this is a winning argument: Nobody should trust his judgment on anything. Of course, the health policy he most wants to talk about is also divorced from reality: His campaign centers on pushing Medicare for All -- a scheme to impose the socialized medicine disasters of Britain and Canada on the United States, which would not only kick everyone off their current insurance but also require roughly doubling US taxation. A sane party would run screaming from a candidate like this. Especially, of course, since (as the bizarre take on circumcision suggests) he also brings antisemitism to the table. El-Sayed's hatred of Jews has been blatant all campaign long, including his comment on the attempted mass murder of Jewish kids in his own state: "Hurt people hurt people" -- rationalizing the Lebanese perp's attempted atrocity by waving at Israeli fighting in Lebanon. Plus his refusal to disavow his regular campaign surrogate, streamer Hasan Piker -- even after Piker just threatened American Jews that if they support Israel "someone will come around and take action" against them. El-Sayed only issued a statement saying he disagrees with that comment, and didn't even name Piker.The Radical Gay Islamist Abdulrahman's dodge is to constantly say, "Why aren't we talking about gas prices?" Well, Radical Gay Islamist Abdulrahman, the left spent all of Biden's term pushing transgenderism and forcing schools to trans children behind their parents' backs. Why did you focus on this instead of talking about "gas prices" under Biden? The left is constantly pulling this "Why is this so important to you?!" hustle. They burn down all social norms in order to implement their bizarre, degenerate sexual gnostic view of the world. The subordinate all notions of governance and democratic consent to force these lunatic ideas on the public. But then, when the public is finally alarmed enough to begin to push back against the insane changes the left is foisting on them, they say the same thing every single time: "What's the big deal? Why is this so important to you? Why are you so obsessed by our decade-long obsession with transing your children? What are you, a weirdo for focusing on these issues which we are insisting on but which we would like to win without a single word of dissent?"
Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed asks Fox News host Jesse Watters if he is circumcised on live TV.

From now on, it should become a meme that, whenever you want to change the subject, ask if the other person is circumcised.
"Excuse me sir, I think you just shoplifted a bottle of vodka."
"Are you circumcised?"
or
"It says here on your resume that you graduated from Harvard, but when we called them, they have no record of you."
"Are you circumcised?"

Too bad there aren't any sharp media types. Watters response here was pathetically weak.
This "doctor" should have been keelhauled in detail about his understanding of medicine, that he apparently thinks a routine procedure is the same as a "sex change" mutilation.
Of course eviscerating the idiot "doctor" on the typical vapid Dem slogans of things for "working people" would far beyond Watters' ability. Whatever, presumably the useless Rogers will win easily.

Don't forget the tens of millions of blacks the Muslims took from Africa. They tended to be castrated on the way back to Saudi Arabia so that they would never father children among the Arab population. It was a not a gentle procedure and many of them died from it.

I'm guessing celebrities die in the exact same distribution of calendar days as anyone wealthy enough to be protected from the elements, excluding days on or directly after major industry events where lots of drugs are passed around.
But every so often, some real, honest-to-G-d celebrity that a broad cross section of society knows and loves - like Dolly Parton, for instance - passes away. The media frenzy surrounding these events creates a public fixation on the dead celebrity, and the media sharks smell it and start circling a couple other dying celebrities to write obituaries about.

What is the point of going on Fox News as a democratic candidate? 98% of their viewers will never vote for a democrat, and they’re constantly trying to goad you into saying something that they can clip and use against you
It's to signal to the Democratic base that he's a fighter who is willing to go into enemy territory and stake out his claims. It's what the Democrat base is baying for.
Good. Democratic candidates and politicians need to start treating all of these "woke", "transgender" and other conservative talking points with both contempt and sarcastic humour.
Who the fuck cares what other people do to themselves. If it’s not dangerous or impinging on my rights it’s none of my fucking business. Fox News is all straw man arguments and asking the most loaded questions ever.

Thats the thing, there is no arguing with these people. There is only the question of who benefits from how the open war part is timed, and from who kicks it off.
Islam is by self-definition acting in bad faith at all times. So is progressivism - in 1917 they fully transitioned to "we are right and everyone else dies, as soon as we can arrange it". All leftist talk is a placeholder while they maneuver to kill us.

He was ready with that "are you circumcised" argument. He thunk and he thunk and he thunk, and that was the best he came up with. He was very proud of it.
Gay Penis-Obsessed Muslim thought it was a great response. He seemed shocked when Watters had an easy answer to it.
Also: there's a lot of resistance to routine circumcision today. I strongly suspect it's more Jew hate, but there's a pretty vocal opposition to circumcision even among men who have had it.

I expect we'll soon start to see opportunistic, power-hungry white, black, and Hispanic political quislings converting to Islam. Attempting to ride the wave of the Left's increasing love for anti-Semitism and the Religion of Peace. Getting on-board early in expectation of getting positions at the top of the pyramid. (They will not make it; they will be purged as non-True Believers if the Musselmen do take power here.)
This fad needs to be stamped-out now. Establishment Democrats won't do it, though. Islam is slowly becoming the largest threat to making the Constitution a suicide pact, using its non-discrimination tools.

You can push the gay shit for political purposes without being so enthusiastic about it that you do a whole video dancing like a twinkle-toes twink bacha bazi.
He's gayballz. It's still a big stigma in the Muslim community to be openly gay. In many of their countries, it's punishable by death.
So a lot of gay Muslims hide it. I very strongly suspect that El-Sayed, Hasan Piker, and Bombdaddy are all secretly gay. They look it, act like it, and all have very unconvincing fake wives or girlfriends. Just like Talacreepo and Spartacus Booker.

I think it's sort of a bad example though. Noticing that other people own the Roomba once you get one is a bit different than noticing the violent hijinks of a notorious Communist gang that's connected to a bunch of other Communist gangs, and cross-trained with a bunch of other Islamic gangs during a short period of time when all of these gangs are bombing industrial plant, hijacking airplanes and kidnapping political figures.
It's a bit more unusual and attention-grabbing than, say, a gray Mistibushi like the one you just bought.

The generic ballot keeps looking like it's going to be somewhere around D+3.
With the 2020 redraws and the redistricting wars earlier this year, Democrats probably need about a D+5 to win the House.
In 2018, The generic ballot was D+9. The GOP still won a net positive of 2 Senate seats.
Because Senate races drive turnout up to presidential levels in the states that have them and they're far less likely to experience turnout differential effects (not even Obama's team could reverse this in 2010 or 2014, and they were political geniuses, remember?).
This is why worrying about Texas is silly. MI is nominally a swing state, and the DOJ Civil Rights division has already announced poll watchers in key places for election day. Trump won the last statewide federal race, and the Senate GOP candidate barely lost. And now DOJ is looking at things.
Should be interesting. I'm not predicting a Rogers win, but...when major Jewish Michigan donors flip and fundraise for the Republican, something is happening.

RCP does not poll, what they do is average them and that average is affected by outlier polls which is why the Democrats do them. Every single media derived 'fact' is contaminated by purposeful deceit on behalf of Democrats. See Patrick Ruffini's work above.
And no, there is no political science evidence that shows the consistent move to teh GOP by election day that is not the result of contaminated outlier polling.
Has to do with de-trending data which I and some coauthors did on agenda setting project way back. Data errors should be random, not in one direction, if they are in a consistent direction, then the model is 'biased'. You can overcome it and get decent information from bias but that requires taking it into account in the first place.

Well, when all the polls suddenly "tighten" and move right after September, it'll be treated as a normal effect of people paying attention to politics all of a sudden, that if the election had been held in June that things would have been different.
Almost like summer polling is bullshit on its face if you have the assumption that not enough people are paying attention to politics.
My assumption is that no one gauges polling firms for how accurate their summer polls are, and even some of the polling firms (looking at you, Reuters) who tank their final polls year after year get treated with legitimacy. Because the entire industry is run by grifters and activists.

Unlike Islam, Christianity has been studied by actual scholars and historians for nearly two millennia now. The Bible is perhaps the most amazing compilation of written documents in all of world history.
Under Islam, an oral history was codified into a single document and anyone who challenged its authenticity was told to shut up or they were killed. No actual scholarship was allowed.

RCP averages were fine initially until the Democrats and their associated polling types purposefully degraded them and they do that by giving outlier polls with ridiculous results so that the average of polls (which is not large to begin with) is moved toward the extreme outlier D favoring poll.

Black turnout should be down (there seems to be an observable pattern that they don't like the DSA direction in election results, like in NYC mayoral results). Rural white Democrats won't turn out for El-Sayed.
And the common refrain over the past few months in polling vs. end results is a massive miscalculation of the white vote.
Essentially, they're massively oversampling white, educated progressives and undersampling white rurals. Happened in WI and MI both.
And if you want to believe the TX polls, you have to believe that Talarico is going to lose whites by about 15 points when the average loss in the demo for Ds in the state recently is about 40.
The polls this year are...really fucked.

A good friend and co worker was brought in to create a new university poll. He had previously been polling supervisor for the Roper poll in CT. By 2000, AAPOR already knew that polling was essentially becoming broken--the old Random Digit Dialing now produced out of area code respondents (cell phones), response rates kept dropping as telemarketing, junk, and scam calls escalated, and socially acceptable answers made answers suspect from the people they did manage to reach.
State polling was the first to become very unreliable because it becomes very difficult and expensive to actually oversample minorities and keep non response bias to a minimum. National polls are still a bit more reliable than state polling. But the polling community professionals knew the problem was coming even back during Gore v. Bush.

Some probably are.
Just random crap, generously assuming they're modeled on PVI and assumptions about turnout without any actual interviews with voters.
There are a handful of pollsters that do try, but they're labeled "Republican leaning" and dismissed by people even on our side like Trafalgar or Quantus.. But, trying isn't always succeeding, and they also get things wrong.
And yet, in it all, there remains the reality that if you put out bullshit that isn't an actual poll and say "48/48", you'll mostly likely be inside a reasonable margin of error like you had done something right in most contentious races.

Wednesday Morning Rant
In this breach, an outfit calling itself "Cyberleek" apparently targeted Take-Two and Rock Star and allegedly stole a playable version of the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto VI" game, which has been in development since 2018 and which is scheduled for release in November of this year. The method used for the alleged breach - hacking, insider leaking, etc. - is unknown. After the breach, Cyberleek started publishing various assets it claims are from the game, including maps, scenes, pre-rendered clips and, importantly, actual gameplay footage from an apparently recent pre-release build. Cyberleek continues to escalate with more leaks, more spoilers, its own memecoin and various calls to action.
For its part, the targeted companies have not confirmed the veracity of the leaks or commented publicly about the alleged breach, but they did issue DMCA takedown notices for the footage and have indicated that they are pursuing subpoenas against service providers like Microsoft and Discord in an effort to identify who Cyberleek is (or are) and to try to contain the leaks. Both of those would be unusual moves if the leaked assets were fake. That, combined with reports that the company is scrambling, indicate that what has been leaked is likely accurate. What makes this breach notable is that the demands are not for anything of monetary value, they are for a change in industrial and marketing behavior. Cyberleek's demands amount to, "stop pre-orders without physical media, eliminate pay-to-unlock functions of a game that are delivered with the core game content but paywalled unless the customer pays more, and ensure playability of games in single-player mode when your servers go dark." The threat is explicit: do these things, or the leaks will continue and will continue to erode the value of the product. These demands - particularly the final demand, involving offline playability - are not out of left field in the video game industry. Players tend to hate being nickled-and-dimed after shelling out for a game, and the problem of paid-for games going poof if the company fails or just shuts down its servers a few years down the line has led to a growing activist movement as it becomes more common. The main group associated with that activism has condemned the leaks and attempted hostage-taking, but the problem - and displeasure with the state of affairs - is not exactly new. Cyberleek's actions, however, mark an escalation. What makes this incident interesting is that it is a major example - perhaps the major example - of the use of cyber espionage tactics for non-political and non-financial purposes. These activities are usually about money (extortion), industrial advantage (stealing trade secrets), national advantage (intelligence activity) or political rebellion. It is not unknown for cyber espionage to be used for other purposes, but using it publicly in an attempt to degrade the value of a product in order to force industrial change is atypical. It is extremely unlikely that Take-Two and Rock Star will satisfy Cyberleek's demands, and I doubt that the value of "Grand Theft Auto VI" will erode enough to matter if this continues. When Cyberleek gets caught or when the game releases (whichever happens first), the press - and likely much of the industry - will move on and forget about this incident. The important part of this story isn't the specific players or purposes, but the use of these tactics in a modified way for an atypical purpose. Depending on how it goes, it may be a historical marker in the continuing evolution and expansion of the weaponization of data.Comments

I remember when Palin made a comment about Obama (pre-PDT) in 2008 when the vile Left really loved doing swan dives on to their fainting couch.
The View came out and said she was mean and needed to apologize. So she essentially did and said she remembered a time when people could take a joke or something. Anyway once the apology was made, what did the Left do the next day? Did they congratulate her for owning up? Develop a strange new respect for her? Say they were satisfied she was not just heartless and mean but actually had a soul?
Nope. They came out and said she was weak.

The video game market long, long ago embraced no physical media, to be honest.
The vast majority of game purchases are online only downloads without physical media. The Steam storefront is one of the biggest gaming storefronts in the world, and it doesn't sell a single disc or USB drive with a game on it.
It's okay for indie developers to do it, in the gaming world's mind, but not for a AAA developer to do it.

I believe this is a situation similar to data centers. Pretty soon now, they're going to be made to understand that this behavior will not continue, or legislation will be passed forbidding it. At this point, all they're doing is alienating their customer base for a minor increment in short term profit.

The ownership versus license model does not depend on whether you are given a physical storage medium to hold the product. Almost all software -- including software on physical disks -- has been licensed property for decades. You do not own the software. You merely bought the right to use it.

This true of course, and you typically received a code to activate it. So far the only issue in most cases has been we are no longer going to support that version and so when the inevitable crash occurs you just won't be able to use it unless you really know how the guts of stuff works, which is true. I think some people also forget that when you download a song from a streaming service to your phone or computer, that service can still cut off your access to it, as opposed to purchasing a digital copy, which you can off load and store in whatever way you wish.

I would argue in some ways this did happen, but not in the big urban centers where force could be applied on people. But in smaller areas mask mandates were being ignored by the summer, and anyone trying the shame game didn't enjoy the response they received. Was it as quick as we would have liked? No, but it did start and I would argue there were a few politicians whose careers were ended because they didn't notice the ground shifting under their feet.

This has led to one particular nightmare scenario being raised: Ultimately, if they really do have a playable and more or less complete build of the game, they could potentially release it themselves, potentially in exchange for an investment in their 'coin.
Rockstar/Take Two would shut it down within minutes, but the damage would be done--and potentially fatal for them, and cataclysmic for an industry that's made of big deal of going 100% digital...

Why? Probably because they knew they would need it to train AI. Think of all the material enforced digital records gave that.
You knew they wanted to datamine the heck out of our records for all sort of things.
Side note: did you know the AMA owns the CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes used for identify and bill medical issues/treatment in electronic records? If they don't create a code for something, then it doesn't exist in our healthcare system.

The markets are dominated by white progressives.
So, they live on hopium from that perspective more than anything.
And they have no special knowledge not available to the public. They're also prone to manipulation because the markets are so small (some of these bigger things are like $2 million total, which a campaign with $100 million on hand could probably swing easily, most are something like $100,000).
Betting markets are stupid.

Here you go...Your answer provided by Good Olde-Fashioned American Movies:
'The ending of The Grapes of Wrath features Rose of Sharon breastfeeding a starving man, symbolizing charity and human compassion in the face of despair. This powerful image highlights the themes of suffering and hope amidst the struggles of the Joad family during the Great Depression.'

BTW, despite all the inevitable boob jokes, breast feeding a starving person used to be seen as an act of survival and mercy. At the end of "Grapes of Wrath' Rose breast feeds Joad to save his life. It was all she had to give in her grief amid disasters. Some of the public and critics were outraged which surprised Steinbeck who saw the act as utterly natural and generous.

The couple are thought to have travelled with the children on a Bombardier Global Express XRS luxury long-range business jet, from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles.
They chartered the jet with Planet Nine Private Air, a California-based private aircraft operator. Hiring it is believed to cost about $12,000 (£9,000) per hour of flight time.
The family are understood to have been given no police protection for their arrival, amid ongoing questions over whether taxpayers will foot the bill for their security.
The Sussexes - who are also believed to be bringing their dogs Mia and Pula across the Atlantic - are now setting up their home in the UK. They plan to live as an “international” family, keeping their homes in California and Portugal.

Rather than following convention by creating seven separate panels, Caravaggio compressed all seven corporal works of traditional Catholic mercy into a single, chaotic, nocturnal Neapolitan street scene:
Feed the hungry & Visit the imprisoned: A woman named Pero secretly breastfeeds her imprisoned father, Cimon, referencing the classical Roman Charity motif.
Give drink to the thirsty: The biblical figure Samson drinks water from the jawbone of an ass.
Shelter the homeless: A pilgrim wearing a scallop shell on his hat asks an innkeeper for a place to stay.
Clothe the naked & Visit the sick: Saint Martin of Tours cuts his own cloak in half to clothe a shivering, crippled beggar lying on the ground.
Bury the dead: In the dark background, two men carry a shrouded corpse out into the night, with only the feet visible.

The Morning Report — 8/ 26 /26
Leftist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Saturday that his country is “at war” with the United States after trade talks collapsed.Well, maybe this fool is actually on to something, perhaps not quite in the way he thinks.
A new report is warning that Muslim Brotherhood-aligned networks have embedded themselves across the Canadian government, charities, and universities, raising concerns about the influence of Islamist organizations within the country’s democratic institutions. . . The findings come as the Muslim Brotherhood itself has faced increasing scrutiny from the U.S. government. In January, the Treasury Department designated the Egyptian and Jordanian branches of the organization as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. In July, the administration sanctioned a senior Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood official whom Treasury accused of helping finance Hamas’ military wing.And so as our government has correctly identified the MB and its allies as a threat to our own domestic security, and as it is aligned if not partially or substantially funded by Iran, well the response, at least from my own perspective, is obvious, especially considering that Carney himself loudly and openly declared Canada to be at war with the United States. I believe there are still a number of active airbases located at or very near our northern border. I'm not saying we should turn Ottawa into a glass parking lot, but an overflight of a few B2's or B52's might raise a few pulses, so to speak. At the very least maybe it would teach this yammering schmuck to choose his words carefully. What a putz, but the danger posed by Islam especially now at home is as plain as day. Closer to home there's still California that is a concrete albatross around the neck of America, and will drown us if the Muslims don't behead us first.
One group, more than any other, has cashed in on this arrangement: California’s public-sector unions. For them, higher taxes are good business. More taxes means more state workers, which means more union members, more dues, and more power for union bosses. The union bosses, in turn, keep the dollars flowing, agitating for more tax hikes, more spending, and more state workers.Example number two...
It seems that California has commenced on yet another end run around the Constitution with the “Stop Nick Shirley” act . . . Never a state to allow anything to get in the way of the exploitation of taxpayers, California has taken a different tack. Instead of busting the fraudsters, the Cali state government targeted the man who was attempting to expose them. The mental gymnastics necessary to justify this presented no challenge: California Democrats simply recast the fraudsters as victims.And finally, in the sense of this post but certainly not the actions of the thugs in Sacramento that will endlessly move to persecute whatever working citizenry remain in that failed state.
California Creates A Black Market For Tires . . . There are state lines, though, and Californians will cross them to buy the tires they want and the tires they can afford. Enterprising off-the-books merchants will buy contraband tires in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and elsewhere and sell them in California outside the normal channels to avoid the regulators. Who knows, some might feel the rule is the straw that finally breaks their backs and sends them fleeing the state as so many others already have because policymakers continue to make living in California an intolerable burden.
Meanwhile, several thousand miles across the Pacific...
But can an already free society really travel backward? Can people who have known liberty be persuaded, intimidated, or exhausted into surrendering it? We do not have to speculate. We are staring at the answer in Hong Kong. For decades under British rule, Hong Kong was one of the freest societies in Asia. The Heritage Foundation consistently ranked it at or near the top of its Index of Economic Freedom. It had independent newspapers, outspoken political magazines, vigorous labor unions, public demonstrations, and courts widely respected for their professionalism. In a territory of only several million people, an extraordinary variety of Chinese-language publications competed for readers. Hongkongers could criticize their government, denounce the Chinese Communist Party, and commemorate events that Beijing had erased from public memory.With all due respect to the author of this fine essay, the three examples above indicate that California began its degeneration into a thugocratic Leftist dictatorship decades before Hong Kong. The Golden State was at one point the 6th largest economy in the world, gaining that status due to the hard work and innovation of a hard-working industrious populace that took the American work ethic to heart and built what was a real paradise on earth that attracted people from all over the nation and the world to flock there to both chase and more crucially build their dreams to make them real. Alas, no more... Have a good day.

Jimmy "Drama" Comey has served up a prima facie case that he conspired to get Trump assassinated.
The prosecutors in Raleigh NC federal court have added details from Comey's "novel" FDR Drive where a bad guy does something similar to instigate a murder, thereby providing evidence of Comey's mens rea (evil state of mind).
He'll have to argue about "intent" and "no reasonable prosecutor would ..." He's an expert on this, no?
It'll come down to jury selection in Raleigh. And nearly everyone hates a crooked cop.
It starts in October. You couldn't make this up.

Right or wrong, it is my impression Carney has always had a hard on for the varsity player, the US. It's not so much he wants to promote Canada's interests as just that he thinks America is too big for it's britches, in all things.
This language he uses "We are at war!" is intentionally divisive and also intended to last well past the trade kerfuffle. He is establishing much closer relations with China, made clear many times he thinks China is the future hegemon, and his intention now, it appears to me, is to establish in the minds of Canadians a future of constant conflict with the United States.
The Liberal Party leadership is not our friends.

Today's polls are nothing but election tampering and should be investigated as such.
But no.....we'll just continue to get battered with how popular the Dems are come election time and just have to hope and pray true, God fearing Americans get off their asses and hit the polls and destroy the communist party once again.

I believe a person can use ivermectin and fenben in conjunction with traditional treatments. Many states legalized ivermectin over-the-counter and there's a pet version of fenben available.
My personal remedy for diverticulitis is garlic and parsley oil. I know antibiotics are prescribed, but the garlic works for me with less microbiome disruption.

Maybe the animals in that town need to stop shooting the power line repair men.
Maybe the locals should have adopted "White Supremacy" and hired competent city and electric company management that would have cleared away vegetation from the power-lines before the storms.

If so, that is very sobering. Honestly though, why would Putin listen to us? The concern all along with the Uke war is that Putin will do whatever it takes to not lose. I’ve no doubt the guy will deploy nukes to avoid what he would consider a doomsday scenario (ie loss of the Crimea… or if the Ukes continue the insanity of drone strikes deep into the Russian homeland).

I like the part where the locals, who pretty much appear to be recipients of subsidized utilities, are demanding that the above ground lines are wholesale replaced by buried power lines.
Below grade utilities are generally 10x-20x more expensive than pole based lines depending on the soil. Of course its racism if that isn't provided free, and performed at a Manhattan Project level of intensity.

France and the UK reportedly are going to sell "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles to Ukraine. These can be fitted with nuclear devices. Russia cannot distinguish whether they are nukes or not from any launch intel. Neither can we.
But, I'd presume we knew the UK and France were not stupid enough to sell Ukraine nukes. Maybe we had to tell them not to. Either way it was probably to put Putin at ease. He was threatening to launch his own nukes.
It's probably why several of the "Doomsday" aircraft were airborne at the same time the other day. Aviation watchers noticed this and it made some ripples in that community.
Per reports on the web. YMMV

Absolutely. The ballroom destruction push is an effigy, a symbol, a signal to the base. While they're out of power, it's a fig leaf for "we are going to ruthlessly punish the opposition when we have power back. We haven't forgotten, and we're coming for them with both barrels, just make sure to get out and vote if you want vengeance. We're not like them; we won't cuck out and tuck under. They'll be made to pay."

He's a heretic. He's the anti-Christ. As long as Texans aren't lazy and show up to the polls, there's no way he wins. Everyone I've spoken to, and that would have a right slant, of course, knows the guy is evil and would rather swallow glass than vote for him.
I really think they're pulling out all the stops to try and make voters fear and stay home.
It's the ultimate in election intimidation tactics I think I've ever seen.

Yeah, I'm not sure what Russia is aiming for at this point. I'm guessing Putin wanted the entire Black Sea coast over to Odessa, plus maybe Kharkov, to wrap this up. But aside from the some limited offensives towards Kharkov, that's not where they're pushing. So my guess is probably wrong.

Apparently, if you do not exclude porn stars, the answer is Annie Hawkins-Turner, better known by her stage name Norma Stitz.
Bra Size: Her bra size is widely cited as 102ZZZ (some sources mention 48V or 72ZZZ depending on the measurement year and method, but 102ZZZ is the most commonly referenced current record size).
Weight: Her natural breasts have been reported to weigh approximately 89 pounds (40 kg) each, totaling nearly 180 pounds.

If it isn’t contraindicated, and that’s rare, Ivermectin is something where you don’t wait around for cancer or something like that to show up. It is i]amazing stuff from a Prevention standpoint.
Parasites are virtually impossible to detect, there are a gazillion of them, and their symptoms are vague and mimic a great many things. Have you ever: traveled overseas? Ate suspect food, or water? We like to think America doesn’t have “those problems” but it ain’t 1955 any longer.

Shafter, a city near Bakersfield, and developer Lennar Homes are plowing ahead with 1,200 homes in the same area off Highway 99 where the state’s rail authority plans to build tracks.
The development, called Gossamer Grove, is a “master-planned community” that will be equipped with a picnic area, playground and dog-walking trails, according to Lennar’s website.
The homes planned by Lennar, one of the largest builders in the Central Valley, will have three to four bedrooms, with prices in the high $300,000s.

Yes, in the 60's, the "Summer of Love" in 1968 in San FranFreakshow, to be exact...
When all of the United States threw out their trash, and it landed in California, a once-patriotic state that gave you Governor Ronald Reagan...from where so many men shipped out to the Pacific Theater under the Golden Gate in WWII, Korea, Vietnam...
You all gave California Nancy Pelosi (from Baltimore), Barbara Boxer (the Bronx), Maxine Waters (Texas), and on and on...

Daily Tech News 26 August 2026
Top Story
- Apple has announced new Mac Mini models based on the M5 Pro and M6 CPUs. (MacRumors)
The M6 is a marked upgrade over the M4 - the M5 never showed up on the Mac Mini - but there is no M6 Pro, so the higher-end models of the Mac Mini, anything with more than 32GB of RAM, steps back to the M5 Pro.
But if you don't need that the M6 should run a lot faster. Apple says up to 40%, and that's actually believable, because it not only increases the core count from 10 to 12, it adds two high-end "super" cores, not just two low-end efficiency cores.
Oh, and 2.5 Gbit Ethernet is standard, not the ancient 1 Gbit.
Not cheap - the 64GB model costs five times as much as I paid for a 64GB mini-PC last December, but the same mini-PC at the same price now only has 32GB, so it has gotten closer.
- If you need more than that, Apple also announced M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studios with up to 512G of RAM. (Mac Rumors)
That's a big jump as well, because the high-end Studio model was limited to the old M3 Ultra, and even then maxed out at... I think 96GB of RAM, with anything faster sold out. Now you can get those high-end models again, and they come with 1.2TB of bandwidth, suitable for pretty serious tasks.
Yes, they're wildly expensive, but right now so is everything, so Apple looks, if not more affordable, less unaffordable.

That's such a nice story. I had a really good conversation with a guy at the Gideon's booth next to me. He told me he goes to a church where their devoted pastor is a "great guy." And preaches there and then goes to the church down the road to preach again and he is in his 90's.

AKC site is down for "maintenance". So I can't work on Dutch's spreadsheet. I have profound differences in breed points he earned in 2014. Like, I'm low by 30. That's a lot and indicates I missed a number of shows he was in. I only have the haziest idea of where he was shown, but I'm pretty sure it was largely limited to TX, LA, and AR. So I'm looking for gaps in his schedule and trying to winkle out any additional appearances he made.

Socialism and Communism brings out the selfishness and corruption in people more than anything, which is ironic; it's the exact opposite that's needed in such a system, but it bucks against human nature, especially with the leadership. Capitalism uses human nature's selfishness for the benefit of others, albeit imperfectly.

That was from an argument I had with a cousin. He finally asked what I would do if this country became a socialist paradise (my words, not his.).

When work would force me to use such things, it was only on my work computer. My company was very careful about security (could only use company provided USB drives, for instance). Passwords were changed every couple of months, and our computer usage was closely monitored (which is their right on their hardware). For quite a while, I wasn't even allowed to use Zoom because of security concerns (all that data flowing through Chinese servers)

Middle school relative attended an academic Summer camp held at a small college four rural counties away from our home.
During session on world religions, instructor asked if any student could recite the five pillars of islam. Our relative could rattle them off with ease.
Our schools are teaching the WRONG Stuff for intro to world religions. They should start with the difference between the Meccan and Medinan verses. Also mention the division of the world into “House of islam” versus “House of WAR”!

Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley says Americans can’t outright ban Flock cameras because they are ‘for our safety’ “I value my privacy, my family values their privacy, my employees value their privacy, but what we're talking about is safety as well” “So I think when people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing the wrong thing. And what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise — when I think about legislation that calls for an outright ban, that's like banning vehicles” Actually no, it’s nothing like banning vehicles. This is banning a mass surveillance network that extends far beyond license plate readers. Flock is putting up people tracking AI powered cameras in parks, playgrounds, trails and many other places Flock is mass surveillance without a warrant

From Dangerous Thoughts
2 more Mass. towns join growing list of communities ending use of Flock
Two more Massachusetts communities are cutting ties with Flock Safety, adding East Bridgewater and Grafton to a growing list of cities and towns reconsidering the use of the company’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology. The East Bridgewater and Grafton police departments announced Friday that they would discontinue using Flock cameras, citing concerns raised by residents. *** Many residents took the opportunity to express their opposition to the technology at the forum. “Technology is really problematic when it comes to law enforcement,” resident Katie McMullen said to Jenkins. “You feel like you’ve looked at every angle, but you’re looking at it through the lens of law enforcement.” *** “As Chief, I will always place the safety, privacy, constitutional rights, and confidence of the people of East Bridgewater at the center of our decisions … While we may not always agree on every issue, I believe that an open and respectful dialogue makes our community stronger,” Jenkins said.
Another (sorta kinda) win in a deep blue state Man sued local governments in WA over Flock records. He’s won $300K
Washington cities and counties have paid more than $300,000 since 2025 in public records settlements for failing to release images from Flock Safety cameras. They were filed by one man who recently told Cascadia Daily News he wanted people in the communities to better understand the AI-powered, roadside surveillance technology some law enforcement agencies use to document every passing vehicle. Between September 2024 and October 2025, Jose Rodriguez filed 53 records requests to local governments in Washington. Roughly one-third of them did not comply. The records, at the time, presented hurdles for record custodians because they were hosted by Flock rather than internally, and subject to a rolling 30-day deletion policy and download limits. In other words, the records could be gone before a custodian accessed them to fulfill a request. Last week, Sedro-Woolley City Council approved a settlement for $40,000 for failing to release the camera data and images. But, that was only half the money, according to the settlement agreement. Stanwood was also on the hook for $40,000. A vote by the city council to authorize Mayor Sid Roberts to sign the settlement agreement passed the next day. The settlement agreement did not include release of the records, which representatives from the cities said they no longer possess. Rodriguez was adamant the goal of the lawsuits was not financial gain; he said cities were given enough time to be able to respond before Flock’s rolling deletions destroyed the records he requested. “Had the cities processed Mr. [Jose] Rodriguez’s records request correctly, there never would have been a need for litigation,” attorney Tim Hall wrote in an email to CDN. “The untold story of the $80,000 settlement is how much taxpayer money was wasted in defense of the unlawful destruction of public records.”So not a complete win. The cameras are probably still there, and lots of taxpayer money was spent defending these cases and making the payout. But at least there's sunlight being shone. ----- Is Buc-ee's asshoe? This article would favor a "yes" response. Buc-ee’s chain draws outcry in Ohio for launching fight over a mini mart's beaver logo
It’s yet another Buc-ee’s Ltd. trademark infringement lawsuit. Supporters of Beaver’s Mini Mart have attacked Buc-ee’s online and boycotted the stores, and the mini mart’s home city passed a resolution making the beaver an official part of its history. *** The Buc-ee’s beaver logo features the face of a beaver with prominent buck teeth wearing a red ball cap against a yellow backdrop. The Beaver’s Mini Mart mascot is a full beaver, unclothed, waving and smiling against a white background. Customers have been critical of Buc-ee’s decision to target the much smaller store. “I love Buc-ee’s, but I don’t plan on going back until they start making better business decisions,” Austin Collins, 32, a project manager from Fairborn, said outside Beaver’s, where he was making his first visit to protest the lawsuit.C'mon Buc-ee's - you don't own ALL of the beaver!
Avoiding blue states? Maybe Buc-ee's isn't asshoe! Buc-ee’s CEO signals expansion shift away from blue states that ‘don’t appreciate’ chain
Buc-ee’s CEO suggested recently that the Texas-based travel center chain may be done looking into blue districts, saying some communities do not appreciate what the company brings while conservative states offer business-friendly and family-oriented values. Arch "Beaver" Aplin III, the company’s president and co-founder, made the comments during the grand opening of Buc-ee’s newest location in Benton, Arkansas on August 17. The chain is known for its expansive gas stations, famously clean restrooms and in-house food offerings. "We have a lot of opportunities. We're growing. We're building in a lot of places. But when you find a conservative business-friendly state with a phenomenal workforce, it makes a difference," Aplin said. Aplin criticized states that he said do not appreciate what Buc-ee’s brings to their communities, suggesting the company would rather focus its expansion efforts elsewhere.

I don't think Buc-ee's is (necessarily) being asshoe. One of our horde lawyers could speak more authoritatively but as I understand it, a trademark holder must take active steps to protect it against infringement or risk losing it. If they ignore "Beaver's" then someone else might open a store called Tooth-ee's with a buck-toothed squirrel mascot in a blue ball cap and when Buc-ee's (rightfully) sues them say "Well, you didn't sue Beaver's" and Buc-ee's would have to explain the difference in court.

Yes and no. Norman appears to be one of those candidates that doesn't appeal well outside his district. Same reason he failed to get to even the governor's primary runoff--not much appeal outside his district. Didn't help that Nikki endorsed Norman either while Trump endorsed Darline. That pretty much should put paid to Nikki's political influence in SC now.
Will Chamberlain probably had it correct in his X post I put above. The Freedom Caucus is pretty much dead now.

Funny how that keeps happening in race after race, state after state, but Trump had nothing to do with any of them. Prior to today's vote the entire narrative was that this race was a referendum on Trump, could his endorsement carry an absolute nobody in the world of politics, sorry, being Graham's sister doesn't count, over a career and popular politician?
But once she wins it's the upstate downstate thing and of course Trump had nothing to do with it. It's still pretty remarkable how many people he endorses keep winning because of other stuff. If only Obama had been this lucky. Ever.

Deporting a lot of illegal criminals will tend to do that. Every crime they committed was a preventable one. If they weren't here in the first place, they could not commit the crime.
But, big cities have been playing games with crime numbers--murders are down from Covid highs but I suspect they are pencil whipping a lot of lesser crimes, particularly if illegals are committing them because blue cities and states don't want these rapists, drunk drivers, and murderers to be sent packing or imprisoned.

My understanding of the Trump indorsement is that Mazzei sent him about $75K and "won" the indorsement.

Jack, I saw the same distribution of votes in the recent governor's primary race where Norman failed to make the runoff. He simply does not appeal outside his district. That is always a risk when you run a House of Rep guy. Statewide races are harder to win for strongly ideological candidates. Darline also had more money, Lindsay's election team, and won a tough two races to get to the general. Tough for a person who was never a politician.

In the main primary two weeks ago, it was a classic regional thing. Update went for Norman, Pee Dee went for Fry (he was their guy). Low country went for Darline, but just barely, because Mark Sanford, Mr. Appalachian Trail was in it and came in second. Midlands went for Darline, but Sanford was stilling spoiling pretty good there.
I think they were worried enough the Pee Dee might have gone with Norman, so they had to get Fry to endorse Darline. Which he did, and the fact that Trump signed on to a pet highway project Fry was pushing for didn't have anything to do with that, I'm sure.....
Anyway, in the end it was Upstate vs everybody else.

I have no quibbles with what you say. Ironically, Trump is the closest thing to a FDR political phenomenon that the GOP has ever had. Teddy perhaps comes the closest to the mark for Trump.
And like Teddy (and not FDR for his first six years), Trump has struggled mightily with the GOPe faction in Congress that wants to fail and lose to Dems. Particularly in the US Senate.

I blame Mitch McConnell and Senate GOP for Barrett. Basically with Ruth keeling over right at the 2020 election, Trump had to accept whoever Mitch would let him have for the seat or Biden would have filled it.
The Senate GOP in general has been the most weaseling, dishonest, and spineless pieces of crap that have ever floated in a toilet bowl and they all deserve really to be flushed into the septic tank of history.

Big donors want open borders and the GOP serviced them since Reagan signed the amnesty travesty bill in 1986. Simpson Mazzoli. And if he hadn't, then GHW Bush would have. GHWB Bush is responsible for bringing the Somalis as refugees to the US in MN, Maine, and Ohio. May he rot. Points of light my ass.

As I mentioned in the previous thread, Lyndsey was McCain's understudy in the Ukraine coup and other globalist bullshit. McCain was also the leading Republican in the Russia collusion hoax and Lyndsey was right there, uh, behind him. That's historical fact.
Graham ran against Trump and it wasn't pretty. Trump posted his cell phone number online and Graham responded by destroying phone in an online video. It would be an understatement to say they hated each other.
And yet somehow Graham became one of Trump's biggest supporters. As those great philosophers in Lynyrd Skynyrd said, there's things going we don't know.

There's a similar outfit called Plucker's. Plucker's has "boneless wings" which are actually strips of breast meat breaded, fried, and sauced like wings. They're actually pretty good but I mean "boneless wings?" Really?

It should require a warrant. The problem is that again, technology has moved far faster than the law. Back when Scotus decided Katz in 1960's, it was Feds turning on and off mikes in a phone booth when a bookie, Katz, went into to place his bets and receive them. So Scotus created the new reasonable expectation of privacy std instead of the older trespass standard of Olmstead. Olmstead came about because telephones in common use. The idea was that as long as the wiretaps were external to the house, it was okay. At the time operators could and did listen into calls and had to connect them.
Carroll decision was when automobiles came about and Prohibition was on. Again, tech has made that dubious
With today's tech, we require a new 4th Amendment standard.

Lesser of evils standard--do you take the devil you know or the devil you don't know. All I know about politicians is that they will eventually all betray you on one vote/action or another. I don't get emotional about politicians--the survival of the US is at stake and we are more vulnerable now than we have been in decades since the Cold War. And we were much more united in the Cold War era than now.

Justice Alito in a recent search and seizure case brought up perhaps that the court should move to a mosaic principle rather than the reasonable expectation of privacy. We have to share a lot of information with our banks, credit cards, utilities like telecom and internet, etc. We don't have a choice if we don't want to live as a jobless hermit on the streets.
All of that is now available due to prior precedent to a lazy cop in an office with a computer. Whereas in the old days, the cop would have to go about to the stores, get a warrant for the home, etc to go through receipts, numbers called, etc. and it took a lot of legwork. Now they just pop on Flock and cross reference other data and show up at your house accusing you of stealing packages from porches etc. (this happened recently--the woman could fortunately prove she only was somewhere else when the theft occurred). Searches have gotten cheaper for cops and they do more of them.

Totally OT...I saw your comment on the Jesus statue and it being the most moving places you've ever been.
We were in Killarney, Ireland several years ago and visited the ruins of Muckross Abbey. The yew tree and cloisters moved me. We were the only people there at the time wandering around...and it felt like holy ground, the cemetary, all of it.
I felt a hatred for Cromwell I'd never had before.
I've been moved by Westminster Abbey and Notre Dame each time I've visited, but this was different.
Became Catholic this past March and doubt I will pass that way again.
We always find something that is not a touristy place, and this was one.
Came home and found antique colored postcards, as I like to do of travels, and frame as a group...on linen paper.

Go look at Eufy cameras. Better quality than ring and you can keep your data on your own little server. You can get a cloud account but not that useful unless you want 24-7 coverage rather than motion sensor. Since I have the system, it would require a warrant to get my video, not a simple request to Ring by police.

Cromwell was doing what he had to do to protect England and Irish Lords wanted the Stuarts back. Sherman did something similar to the South in his March to the Sea.

Using your own wifi to track people from room to room is one new gimmick. Plus the thermal heat signature sensors have gotten a helluva lot better to the point where they can sometimes id someone inside the house now. And now drones that can linger and an automated license plate reader to determine who comes and goes from your house. TV and phones can be turned on remotely to listen in on people etc. etc.

Remember, this site was written and designed for Web 1.0, you were expected to use a laptop or desktop to read it. The fact that you can (mostly) view it on a phone is simply fortuitous. It's like a dog walking on its hind legs. It is remarkable that it is done at ll, not that it is done well.

Wasn't there a SCOTUS ruling a few years ago that said basically that cops can watch your home without a warrant but if they used technology that did more than just enhance human capabilities -- like a thermal sensor instead of just binoculars -- that crossed a line and required a warrant? Seems like wifi sniffers would be in the same category but who knows. Everything has to be argued and hashed out as its own special case now.

A lot of the collectable glass, pottery and porcelain got repro'd to hell and back. Some values of some nice stuff got wiped out. Galle, for example. Plus the internet completely changed what scarcity meant. What used to be rare enough to take weeks or even months to find, you could now have your choice of several instantly. Lastly, the producers themselves went mass produced and cheap, like Fenton Glass.
Most of that stuff outside of the really rare ($1,000+) had their value drop to 1/3 or worse.

Oh, yeah! Funny, I was digging gravel out from around my septic tank today, and a lot of the gravel was angular pebbles of black chert, probably from the Nordegg Formation in northwestern Alberta, and brought here by glaciers.
I managed to advance the little pit around the tank flange by more than a foot by using a shop vac as the digging implement. Tedious, as the hose would clog frequently, but I could dig while standing up.

I also am not fond of Sherman, being a redneck.

Kia Asamiya is a fan of Batman. In an interview he said he found the Batmobile the coolest of the gadgets and if he could get a movie one, he would register it in Japan and drive it.
In reality he had to settle for a Porsche Carrera, and he created a new manga called My Favorite Carrera about a career minded woman who comes back to Japan from studying abroad and after her father's death to find out he had bought for her a super rare Porsche and it has been sitting in storage all this time. The story picks up there.

It’s going to be the same problem, only magnified. “Cherry pickers” come in, they know what they are looking for. Take a few items, they don’t want all that other shit.
The trick is to sell it on “you take all of it” basis. No cherry picking. Otherwise, you will end up with a whole bunch of stuff nobody wants, and … another name for that is garbage. Hafta pay money to get rid of it. If you were Sentimental before, you probably won’t be after.

I recently saw a video where an owner of a herd of goats in Australia rents them out for cleaning up yards -- fenced, of course -- that had become overgrown and unmanageable.

Whether such a service exists in this country is not known to me, but it was remarkable to see how much of the crap biomass vanished from the property.

We have had our place in Sussex County for just over twenty years now. The amount of plowing up farmland and building new cookie cutter domicile "communities" around here during that time is remarkable, and not for any good reasons. "New Homes From $350K and Above" is not much of an inducement for local folks to buy one.
There were a half dozen or so places -- all listed as being for sale -- along our travel route that were remarkable for their obvious states of disrepair, neglect, and outright insane do-it-yourself upgrades. Nearly all of them are long gone now save one, and that is decaying into ruin while serving as an impromptu greenhouse for the native vegetation.

Have couple visit and do a walk through. You're shopping for
a realtor you like and he's looking to make a sale. The walk
through he should give you hints and tips. Same time you
can size him up.

Yeah, once I get most of the junk out of there... the place looks like hell on the inside too because of all the *stuff* there. (long story, but some of it is from when I sold my old place and had nowhere to go with it)
Anyway-- it isn't gonna happen quickly, but I sure hope to be done before next summer!

Mrs KvC and I will need to have a meeting of the minds when she comes back north in September. There is a boatload of stuff in our home that needs to go before we'd even be able to put the place on the market, including.her pottery kiln in the garage. My point will be that I am here to help rid this place of the wretched excess. Were I to expire before that is accomplished, she would find that process far more unpleasant than it will be with me here to help.

It's a reasonable goal, Krebs v Carnot. Very reasonable.
Dad just plain DGF after Mom died, and left a mess. As "estate representative" I alone am left with the work.
Two of my siblings are sitting on their hands, merely waiting for *their* inheritance, while the other acts like a flying monkey and criticizes my efforts (while expecting ridiculous $$$ for everything)

Lawyer? Charge as executrix? (shut your eyes, grit your teeth) Hire some guys to clean it out and sell it. Put the money in your account. I think a lawyer can do that for you.
If not, shoot your siblings. Tonypete knows a guy with a backhoe.

Those are things for the happy new home owners.
Generally, whatever you do they'll change it to suit there taste.
Just clean it up. If the realtor is honest he will tell you what will increase your return and what won't.
Some of the time the money you put into having someone else renovate will not bring a return greater than what you put into it.

I think she had only around six of them, which weren’t really all that special.
But she did have two of the Princess Diana purple bears with the little flower on the chest in plastic bags. She and her daughters all had a thing for the Royals after watching Elizabeth II crowned on TV, so I guess she picked up those two beanie babies when Diana died.
Not sure if they were the ones with the bad stitch, though. A granddaughter and great-granddaughter got those bears.

LOL! Yes, there's a Will. I am sole Rep.
Truth is-- got older bro to sign an "estate resolution agreement" cutting him off of any proceeds from the house, because Dad gave him the vacation property before he died. So, he's gotten all he's gonna get. But refused to remove some furniture pieces he *claimed* to want, even before signing it. F him, too late.
Lil bro & sis & I, will split whatever comes from house sale. Sis just does nothing. At least she doesn't hound me about everything like lil bro does. Just sits back with her hand out....
Lil bro keeps saying he'll do this or that, come get his stuff, blahblahblah, and only comes here to fk off and drink and get away from his bitchy wife...
Yes, I can charge for my "services"! At first, I wasn't going to, but now-- hell yes I'm gonna do it!!! And recoup every dollar I've loaned to the estate to pay the fking property taxes.

I told my brother that if anything happened to me and mrs B at the same time he gets all my shit and half the house. At first he looked horrified. He said how the hell will I manage all that. I said toss your pain in the ass wife on her ass, let her buy you out of your half of the house, take the money, buy mrs b's sister's half of this house, and move in to Man World. He saw the iron in my words. lol
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division
My sister told me that if she died before me, I get the farm and her $$$, which she has a lot of. I'm assuming our parents, in there late 80s, will be gone by then. Anyway, that's too much responsibility for me so she said just sell it, buy an huge RV and travel the country. My lizard brain liked that idea.

Tuesday Cafe
NASA Astronomy Picture of the DayKing of the Alpaca. Sheep knocks on the door every day to play with cat friend. Cats will always let you know that your attempts to please them are hopelessly inadequate. Cat decides to change the decor. Double tornado touchdown. The Storm Warden. Monkey shines. Senior dog is adopted after spending 700 days in the shelter. Wazzzuppp Soaking your baby elephant, if you know what I mean. Japanese zoo wants the lions to know what will happen if they try to escape.
@apod Dec 25, 2023 Cathedral, Mountain, Moon
Image Credit & Copyright: Valerio Minato Explanation: Single shots like this require planning. The first step is to realize that such an amazing triple-alignment actually takes place. The second step is to find the best location to photograph it. But it was the third step: being there at exactly the right time -- and when the sky was clear -- that was the hardest. Five times over six years the photographer tried and found bad weather. Finally, just ten days ago, the weather was perfect, and a photographic dream was realized. Taken in Piemonte, Italy, the cathedral in the foreground is the Basilica of Superga, the mountain in the middle is Monviso, and, well, you know which moon is in the background. Here, even though the setting Moon was captured in a crescent phase, the exposure was long enough for doubly reflected Earthlight, called the da Vinci glow, to illuminate the entire top of the Moon.

Got a quote for hauling out two old chests of drawers: $200. (Salvation Army claims they have no drivers anymore, but I see their trucks all the time; I live two blocks away from their base of ops.)
I was thinking more like $50 to haul them out. I'd rather just take a nail puller to both of them, reduce them to scrap, and toss them out piece by piece myself, than pay three figures.

The Russians have been saber-rattling a bit about Western European powers providing the Ukes with advanced weapons that have recently struck critical Russian infrastructure. Plus, the Ukes have more spine to fight than most Western Europeans (especially considering the mass migration). This scenario isn't too far fetched. Does Trump want to get dragged into a NATO fight with Russia right before the midterms?

Had Goldens in my life since I was 7 when our first one adopted us. Long story. There was always one in our house, sometimes 3.
My second to last Golden was part fish. He would sneak away and run to the beach swim, dig up clams, swim some more, roll in the sand, and then swim. He loved to swim like a fat kid loves cake.
My last was broken. I got him from a breeder who did dog shows so I thought she had avoided the cancer that is ravaging the breed. I was wrong. But he hated the water. Wonderful dog, loved everyone, typical Golden in every way other than water was his mortal enemy. Loved him anyway.

The Moon's angular size in the sky doesn't change much at all. At given instant, over the half the earth where the Moon is visible, while the actual distance to an observer anywhere over that half does change a little bit, it's a vanishingly small fraction of the total.
So, to get a shot like that, you just have to get the right distance away from the target so the angular size of that target just matches the Moon.
Then add foreshortening from a telephoto lens and there you go.

The angular size of the Moon is about 0.5 degree. The width of your little finger at arm's length is about 1 degree, so the Moon is about half a finger (and so is the Sun).
However, you'll notice the Moon looms much larger looking low on the horizon. This is entirely an illusion, a trick your brain pulls on you. Hold your little finger out and you'll see the angular size is dead constant as the Moon moves arcs across the sky.

Now, while the Moon is far enough away that its angular size doesn't change as you move across the earth, it's close enough that parallax relative to the background stars is significant.
Again, imagine the half of the earth that can see the Moon at any time. Over that area, the Moon's apparent position against the celestial background will move around about 1 degree, or two Moon diameters.
Over the course of a ~12 hour diurnal visibility period, when you add the parallax shift as the earth rotates with the Moon's own orbital motion (which is the fastest angular rate of anything), the Moon's position against the background can shift up to 4 Moon widths.

Another illusion with the Moon you'll sometimes people go on about is the "Moon is following me!" illusion.
The Moon is very far away, yet still visible, and our brains normal processing (half of what we think we see is our brain "post processing" you might call it) just doesn't.
So, if you move in a straight line as far as you reasonably can over a short time period, the Moon's apparent angular position relative to you doesn't change at all. Imagine you carrying along a little coordinate system with you as move. The Moon's position vector doesn't change at all.
But the position of all the other much closer objects does change significantly. Hence, "The Moon is following me!" This applies to stars and planets and the Sun as well, but people don't generally notice that.

The "secret" is knowing that zooming in does not change perspective, that is the position and size of objects relative to each other. But the apparent change of size of objects does vary with their distance. Moving another mile further away from a building changes its apparent size significantly. Moving another mile away from the moon does not. So to get a shot like that, you have to be far enough away that the building and the moon appear in that size relation and then zooming waaaaayyyyy the hell in so that you can get the framing you want.

Most of Apple's browsers are skins over Apple's WebKit. Most of the browsers on Android or Linux or even Windows operate from Chrome aka Google's web browser code. This site works better on chrome.
Someone mentioned that Chrome for Apple does not use webkit, dunno whether it is in the Apple App store or not. If not, Apple makes it a PITA to sideload apps that do not go through the App Store and continually bugger it up on purpose. Like Microsux does on its products. In both cases, it is to extract data from users and that is easiest when their own code is used as underlayment.

What perspective? You're assuming a viewing distance based on the size of the building. If you move far enough away from the building, it will occupy the same 0.5 degree field of view that the moon does.

It's actually pretty easy. As I've been saying for years, at the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008, W announced that NATO membership was on the table for both Georgia and Ukraine, two former Soviet satellites right on Russia's border.
Putin had been warning for years that further eastward expansion of NATO was a redline for him and unlike Obama he meant it. Soon after the summit he invaded Georgia. Most of the west yawned if they even bothered to notice it.
And then Obama/Biden ran a coup in Ukraine and Putin did what he said he would do and here we are.
Do you think they framed Trump as a Russian agent by picking a country out of a hat? It's the entire reason the deep state wanted him gone. Ukraine is a gateway to Eurasia.

It has gotten so bad on data stealing from consumers that WalMart is basically giving TVs away (they bought Vizio) in order to spy on its customers at home. Every damn thing nowadays wants to report home so the companies can not only sell the hardware, but sell off the data on their consumers to whoever is willing to pay.
I don't want my water heater connected to the internet, nor the washer, dryer, or refrigerator. I have to run two networks at home now just to fence off my personal versus security system, video system, roku box (being acquired by Fox btw), etc.
I am contemplating building a Jellyfin or Plex media server just because Roku now is going to enshittify its experience because Fox wants to datarape its customers. Sick of the shit.

I think that would require recoding all the server software into something more modern. Codebase is early 2000's probably due to a) security by obscurity, b) cost efficiency on server time.

Mollie and Jack...we had 2 non-swimmer Goldens. Our first from a top breeder in FL (his grandpa was a cover doggie on Dog Fancy). We had to laugh that we went from looking in shelters for our boy, who found the Airedale dead he grew up with, to a dog show.
He HATED water: pond, pool, ocean. Accidently went in my father's lake in MS to look at ducks and freaked out when he got mud up to his chest.
Viewed our pool as the Water Monster that I swam in daily. He' pace me as I swam laps. Like my mother, who could not swim, I am unsure what he would have done if I died. I guess stare at me sadly.
Every day he'd lick the top of my head as I sat in the swim out. Like he saved me simply by being there. There was no sweeter and good boy ever before or after him.
Son's first Golden also hated water. Unsure about Penny.

Some people want to learn, some don't.
A simple search says that the Basilica of Superga is about 50 meters wide. If we go to
https://unittoolbox.com/angular-size-calculator/
and enter that, then play around with the distance value, we find that a distance of about 5.5 kilometers makes the field of view close to that of the moon. So that is approximately how far away from it you would have to be to see the perspective in the image above.

Wife has had an apple phone for years plus the watch and likes them. They work for her so no big deal for me. I dislike Apple's user interfaces but I go back to command lines and dos. Been using Linux since about 2008-9 for most activities despite having office computers with Windoze and later Apple.
Apple desk and laptop is basically a custom interface over BSD Unix (Berkeley Software Distribution) which makes it bombproof but apple then adds its special sauce on top and is very strict about hardware that can be used for drives and that sort of thing.

Whatever you say about Cook though, he is far better than his counterparts at Microsoft or Google and has successfully made Apple into a financial and technical behemoth. The new M5 and M6 seem to be aiming directly at running AI models fast that are local, not grubbing for tokens from Big AI industry.
That is how you get adopting by individuals, cut off the external feeds to Mega Corp so they can sell and retrain their AI models on your data.

Quick Hits
The United Nations reported Tuesday that at least 47 people were killed and 50 others were kidnapped in a violent gang attack near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince this week. The incident took place Sunday in Kenscoff, a commune located near the nation's capital. The massacre included the execution of 22 people who were found in a church compound. It is believed to be one of the deadliest attacks in Haiti in recent years. "The relentless gang attacks on communities and the loss of lives underscore the alarming security conditions in Haiti and reinforce the urgent need to intensify Haitian and international security efforts to counter gangs," a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres said in a statement.
WWII did something to Germany that can't be fixed.
"Ja!" posted a commenter calling himself Sweric Alwell. Here's a pic of this German swinger. This is for The Ladies:
A randy German councilmember known as the country's "craziest councilor" has proposed throwing sex parties at city hall as part of an effort to turn the burg into a "swingers' paradise." Julian Ferrat, 35, who holds office in the industrial city of Mannheim as part of the liberal Die Mannheimer party, wants to see the city transformed into a haven for indiscriminate group sex. Ferrat, who has been known to frequent nudist resorts and pose for bizarre photoshoots while barely covered, unveiled the X-rated scheme at a recent meeting of the governing body, which is ruled by the conservative Christian Democratic Union. "Group sex with city council members would be the ultimate in closeness with the citizens," he said, noting there are no laws on the books prohibiting swingers' parties at city hall.
A child rapist, a baby murder, and a dog rapist are suing the state of Washington for restricting access to "gender-affirming care." They claim they're women now, you see. One guy complains that he's not allowed to use a private room for hair removal, but can only use the hair removal equipment in his cell, which allows people to see his "maturing female body."
This guy's complaint? He says he wants Minoxidil to grow his hair back, which he needs as a "non-binary person," and not just as a bald dude who wants taxpayers to pay for cosmetic treatments. Oh and he also wants testosterone, paid for by taxpayers. Join the club. Weird that a "non-binary" is claiming his "non-binary" status to demand two things that regular ol' heterosexual men would also like.
Three depraved criminals housed in a Washington state prison are suing the Department of Corrections for human rights violations after they say they were deprived of adequate "gender affirming" care and treatment. Reduxx can name the inmates involved in the suit as Michael R. Caldwell, who raped two children, Hunter S. Christian, who raped multiple dogs, and Andrew S. Kennedy, who murdered an infant. In the men's original 324-page complaint, which was filed in December of 2025, the three men separately outline their grievances against the state's Department of Corrections, and attempt to leverage the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to make their case that the denial of "gender affirming" care and treatment is unlawful, using a recent precedent set by Autumn Cordellione, another transgender inmate convicted of murdering a baby who successfully argued that the state of Indiana should have to pay for his "gender affirming" care. The complaint, obtained by Reduxx, is opened by Caldwell, who now goes by the name Skeggi Hildof Katrinssonr or "Hildi." Caldwell was convicted in 2014 of raping two young girls trusted to his care, and was handed a 26.5 year sentence for the crimes. During the trial, it was revealed that he had initially blamed one of the children for seducing him and provoking the sexual abuse. In his list of complaints, Caldwell reveals that his facility has a personal laser hair removal device for transgender inmates to use, and that the inmates were allowed to use the device in a private room within the medical clinic once or twice per week. But in 2024, the clinic discontinued access to the private room, and told transgender inmates they would have to use the device in their own cell. Caldwell deems this unacceptable, writing: "My cell door has a 34×34 [inch] window where any male inmate or officer can see inside my cell and watch me use the device on my maturing female body." Caldwell refers to this lack of privacy as "sex discrimination," and says his proposed remedy -- which was to use the device in the shower area -- was rejected or ignored. Caldwell goes on to claim that not being able to use the device in a private area constitutes the Department of Corrections delaying or depriving him of "prescribed medical treatment," emphasizing that his "gender dysphoria" is impacting his mental health and ability to perform his daily errands. "I seclude myself from having to associate with anyone," Caldwell complains. "My mental health has regressed, elevating anxiety, depression, skipping meal times, no appetite, becoming overwhelmed in my daily activities where I at times cry ... The Defendants expect me to consent to relinquish my right to privacy. I will not consent to any relinquishment of my Fundamental Rights." ... The complaint continues with the declaration of Hunter S. Christian, who changed his name to Szeth Aslan Magnus. Christian identifies as "non-binary" and "intersex," and declares he/him and they/them pronouns in the document. Christian was arrested in 2018 on charges related to bestiality and possessing child sexual abuse material. Christian raped at least three dogs, including a Rottweiler, an older Chihuahua mix, and a black Labrador. He filmed the sexual acts and was found in possession of the videos, along with depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. In 2019, he was convicted on multiple felony charges, including 1st Degree Animal Cruelty With Sexual Motivation.
The baby-killer complains that doctors are treating him as a "cisgender man" -- which he is -- and also won't pay for an expensive test to determine if he's "intersex," which he isn't.
In his grievances, Christian claims that he was denied access to Minoxidil treatments for head hair growth because he had no diagnosis for gender dysphoria and no desire to start feminizing hormone therapy. Christian also claims he was denied access to low-dose testosterone, which he wanted to begin to address his shrinking testicle size. Like with Caldwell, Christian also notes he was eventually given access to a personal laser hair removal device for his body, but refused to use it due to a lack of privacy in his cell. "I have suffered not only setbacks in my prescribed treatment plan, but reversal of effects of the prior treatments, mental anguish, exacerbation of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a loss of the forward momentum in maintaining the delicate balance between my masculine and feminine sides ..." Christian wrote in his declaration.
Kennedy ends his declaration with an appeal to his "divine rights." "I see my curves and hips as a gift from the Goddesses and my masculine traits as a gift from the Gods. I was, from birth, granted the boon of seeing feminine and masculine within myself, yet too blind and misled to truly see them," Kennedy writes.I think a visit from 6-10 good old boys armed with sacks filled with soda cans can render these monsters the "gender-affirming care" they deserve. Noted "conservative" Tuq'r Qarlson joins the left in elevating "fairness" and "equality" -- everyone getting an equal reward no matter what their contributions -- as the highest of all political imperatives.
From Kennedy's declaration.
Mother accepted her daughter's announcement that she was a boy a year ago without question.
But now that the daughter says she's a girl again, the mother wants to know if she should intervene, and force her to take puberty blockers so that she can keep her Fashionable Gender Transition and show off to her AWFUL friends."My daughter’s immutable gender identity changed to a boy a year ago, but just changed back to a girl. I never questioned her initial rejection of her sex, but I do question her sudden acceptance of it, and wonder if I should pressure her to block her puberty anyway." pic.twitter.com/yK8y23DJWb

@NJBeisner "God promises perfect justice—not “fairness.”
We live in a world that is and always will be unfair because of the free agency that men have.
We can strive for better, but it’s important to know that God actually promises us suffering and tribulation in this world—not “fairness.” "
Yeah, and God created Lucifer as well, who tried to rise to God's status. Then perfect Adam, whose sinful blood we all have, as the story goes, because he chose to stay with that woman. So no, God did not create all men as perfect, they became sinful in nature, thanks to Satan, then Adam. (but JC gave us a path out)

Given Talarico's seminary training, it appears that the churches have not been very careful about gatekeeping the clergy to actually believing in Christianity. Instead, you have the Chinese Menu approach--pick these two commandments, a side of the Sermon on the Mount, and ignoring Pauline scriptures.

Fairness is the core virtue in their Toddler Ethics:
Share, don't say mean things, don't hit anyone.
Once they view you as their toddler, they can apply any amount of coercion and force to restore you to their ideal pacific and docile state. If any man objects or shows any resistance, his response is characterized as "Toxic Masculinity".
FWIW, God is clearly not Fair.
Exhibit A: "Election".
Exhibit B: When you are born
Exhibit C: Where you are born
Exhibit D: To whom you were born.
Exhibit E-...: God is not fair in doling out beauty, intelligence, height, athleticism, disease resistance, dexterity, senses, bodily regulation, etc.

The Germans like to make massive words and then shorten them. Stasi, Panzer, etc. We do the same thing, and English's Germanic roots are pretty plain once you dig into it.
One of the things I thought was cool was that some of the words and phrases they use that seem really strange are simply evolutions of archaic English terms with the same root.

It is a transaction of time, money, or intelligence.
There is no other what to acquire EQUITY.
If someone hands you EQUITY then they can take it and hand it to someone else.
There are many systems to sell or trade your real EQUITY.
If you have EQUITY without time, or money, or intelligences invested; it is not EQUITY.

American culture is more German than British. We speak English, but in a German way, our food is basically German (Hamburgers, Brats, fried chicken, etc.) and Germany still has something of a "gun culture." England never really did, because weapon access was dictated by class.
And of course the US Army's manual of arms and drill is originally German, which is why our salute looks like their and not that gay british palm flourish.

God created Adam, the rest of us came along by birth, after Adam fell. Just trying to help Carlson out.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." Romans 7
But that is Paul, not the average third world wanker. Many only serve the flesh, and some demand "infidels" provide for their sexual (and other) demands.

That claim is not confirmed by the reporting I can find. The current reports confirm that CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow for undisclosed meetings, but they say the U.S. Embassy in Moscow did not immediately comment on the trip.
They do not report that the embassy removed or lowered its flags.

Eve was deceived, Adam made the choice to disobey. Not sure if Adam blamed her after the fact, but Adam was not deceived, knew exactly what he was doing. And in that very day he died (lost the holy spirit he had, on that one condition of obedience).

I know from reading a subreddit after President Trump was elected that trans mommies like the attention. They were worried about kidnappings (?) and yanked their trans kids out of school. Were planning to move to Canada.
Sadly I can no longer read reddit as it requires registration. Gone are the days when I made up an email address and name and could flip out people of WaPo and others.
I'm not sure what color ribbon I need to mourn my subreddits. One was thrashing Markle like a rented mule and I loved it when I was bored.

In LDS theology, Adam and Eve had no way of procreating in the GoE. They had to fall in order to have kids. Eve was tempted, but also understood the full ramifications of her actions. Even then approaches Adam and tells him she's consumed the fruit and if Adam doesn't consume the fruit, he'll be left alone in the GoE and unable to follow God's commandment to be fruitful and multiply.
The Fall was necessary so opposition in all things, procreation, death, etc. could happen.

I would be no good at an orgy, even in my prime. Mostly because I always laugh at inappropriate times and loudly. Then I'd be asked to leave as I would be in hysterics and missing the entire point of an orgy.
On that note I'm not exactly sure what qualifications you'd need at an orgy as it seems a bit sad to me. Like pron diarrhea acted out by people who can't mate alone like normal people.
I was once sort of asked to a nude beach with my husband by a nurse you would not think (she was no looker) who loved them. I think I pretended I did not compute or did not hear her as I don't recall my response. I did tell my husband and we laughed.

That was one of Satan's arguments, but at what point does the Bible specify Eve was convinced by that argument?
Genesis 3:6 says, "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate."
It doesn't say she did it to be immortal.

Poll Claims That Le Pen Would Win the Second Round of the Presidential Election Against All Likely Opponents
The French vote in two "tours," or turns, the first featuring all qualified candidates, the second being a runoff of the top two vote finishers (and sometimes three, I don't know what the cutoff is, maybe if you get more than 25% you go to the runoff).
The bane of National Rally has been this second tour. In the second tour, everyone, including the supposedly right-leaning Republicains, votes for whoever is running against the NR candidate, even if it's a communist. So we've seen repeated cases of NR candidates being in first place in the first tour and then being defeated in the second. A new poll claims that Marine Le Pen would actually command a majority of votes in a second tour run-off against her likely opponents.According to a survey by Toluna-Harris, a market research firm, Le Pen is projected to win the second round of the 2027 presidential election against all likely opponents. ... According to the survey, Le Pen is favored over the far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon (68 percent versus 32 percent). Le Pen is also favored over so-called centrists Édouard Philippe (55 percent versus 45 percent) and Gabriel Attal (57 percent versus 43 percent).The poll finds she would be the top vote-getter in the first tour, which isn't surprising, as NR candidates often are. It's the second tour that gets them. This seems to confirm a poll from June, which also sees Le Pen winning the second tour -- although just barely so, if she's competing against a "centrist" candidate.
Back in July, a survey conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP) showed Le Pen beating Attal (54 percent vs 46 percent), Philippe (55 percent vs 45 percent), and Mélenchon (70 percent vs 30 percent) in the second round. The same survey also showed that Le Pen would receive roughly a third of the vote (36 percent). If she faces a centrist candidate in the second round, the survey projected that Le Pen would unite 50 percent of the right-leaning vote. If up against Mélenchon, Le Pen would unite 90 percent of the right-leaning vote.I don't understand why they're saying she would "unite 50 percent of the right-leaning vote." I'm assuming that is mis-worded and they mean she would unite enough of the right-leaning vote to secure 50% of all votes. Correction: No I guess I'm wrong, because they say she'd get 90% of the "right-leaning vote" against the communist Melanchon. But then I don't know why this is worth mentioning: Getting 50% of the "right leaning" vote is 1, not all that hard, and 2, something that happens as you lose the election, because getting 50% of the right-leaning vote would mean that you're getting around 20-30% of the total vote. I guess she is getting a fair amount of left-leaning voters, too. Yes, I keep forgetting, Le Pen is attempting to forge an anti-immigrant/socialist alliance. She's not really "right" by any standard, except as far as sovereignty. Meanwhile, the Socialists of Spain are demanding that the EU give it welfare money to pay for the 70,000 invaders they let into Ceuta.
Spain has formally requested emergency funding from the European Union to address the migration situation in its North African enclave of Ceuta, weeks after tens of thousands of people surged across the border from Morocco. The European Commission said on Tuesday that it is closely monitoring the situation and remained "fully engaged at all levels" to ensure the security of the EU's external borders.

****************
They might mean that a certain segment of the electorate is "right-leaning" as opposed to being definitely "on the right", with Marine Le Pen winning 50% of the "right-leaning" if she faces a centrist candidate in the 2nd round but 90% if against Mélenchon. Some of those "right-leaning" might be abstaining in the 2nd round rather than voting against Marine Le Pen.
But I'd still rather have had Jordan Bardella as presidential candidate, since the best leaders of France have always been Italians.

that can't be it because that's a poll finding not worth reporting. Of course she'll get 50% of the right-leaning vote! (And someone who gets 50% of the right leaning vote is... a loser, because that's less than 25%).

******************
The judicial system had disqualified Marine Le Pen from the coming presidential election, but this would simply have meant that the National Rally would instead nominate its parliamentary leader Jordan Bardella, and he polls better than Marine. Which explains the sudden about-face, with a court recently deciding that Marine Le Pen can compete in the presidential election after all.

The implication is that the voter segment they're considering "right" rather than merely "right-leaning" has grown so large that Marine Le Pen will win a narrow victory against a centrist candidate despite obtaining just half of the

Dear Minnesotans, you are being lied to and exploited on an industrial scale.
Third-party groups are mailing pre-filled absentee applications that invent your voting history. They thank you for “voting by mail in the past” even when you never have. Then they push you onto the permanent list so ballots keep arriving in your name whether you asked or not.
That is voter identity theft. It is happening in Minnesota right now.
Read how it works, why Trump’s USPS order and the SAVE America Act matter, and what we must demand: end the mass mailings, end automatic ballots, clean the rolls.
Then share it. Every Minnesotan who never voted by mail needs to see this before another envelope shows up with their name on it.

The experts would never want to lose their places, so one of two things won't happen.
Either, various nations will resist internationalism, or the experts who think they are running their countries so well can't wait to take their place on the global stage.
But the state of experts will not "wither away". If we get to globalism, we'll get there because experts want to strut in "The Show".
But then again, Engels provided a mega-weaseling where the State could declare that there was no "state" as Marx defined it. Because the State has declared that everything is equal enough, that there is no more inequality, which defines "the state".
If the state stops doing stuff Marx and Engels didn't like, then effectively it's not "a state", and can exist eternally.

*************************
I managed to find and download the July report from the French Institute of Public Opinion (link in handle). It seems that the National Pulse decided to describe as "right-leaning" those who support specifically the party called Les republicains, which is now a fairly small part of the electorate. For the second round, the poll has Marine Le Pen winning about half these Les republicains supporters against either of the two centrist candidates and winning nine-tenths against Melencthon.
Hence all the confusion.
Also, the poll has Le Pen winning about one-fifth of the "Left" vote against either centrist candidate, and even against Melencthon she wins 15% of the "Left" vote while then obtaining two-thirds of the vote from those supporting the current "centrist" ruling coalition.

I would bet money she'll lose again. I just think her image as a person in French culture is something along the lines of a David Duke because of her father. And the french people don't want that association.
Her father (that basically formed the party) was sort of Nazi-adjacent. Way worse than say what comes out of Tucker Carlson's mouth.

I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders and told her, yes, I was coming home from school, and that I'd like an extra week or two off until after Labor day myself.
We always started school when I was a kid around the third or fourth week of August, so we didn't get Labor day off because we'd only been in school like a week.

Bet time of year to be in Yellowstone is after Labor Day. there is kind of a sweet spot with critters being at their peak, the tourons far fewer, and just before most of the places close for the season. Canyon closes earliest. Mammoth is always open.
I have my veteran park pass now. never gotta pay again to get in.

Bismarck brought in old-age & disability insurance in the 1880s.
The original age of retirement was 70.
That was lowered to 65 in 1916.
Hitler never lowered the age of retirement.

All bullshit. Mediaite is leftist and not a useful website. The whole thing happened because one of Rubio's asst secretaries tried to unload documents to DR to leak. DR was afraid it was a setup and blew it up publicly on X. The Asst. Sec. then released the documents and created a bigger scene on X.
DataRep. apologized and the asst. Sec. did sort of one. Big hu hu, pretty much bullshit DC games but that gets the dweebs at Mediate excited to try to fan a split on the right. Loathsome swamp critters.

Country Music Star and Actress Dolly Parton Dies at Age 80
What did someone say of FDR? He had a third-rate mind but a first-rate temperament.
Dolly Parton could be said to have been a first-rate talent with a first-rate temperament. Every time you saw her, she was was happy and cheerful and grateful and even humble. Washington Nearsider posted this quote:She was also pretty funny. Her nephew and head of her personal security had been asked to handle the public side of her death years ago, and so makes that announcement now. NY Post:
"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."
- Dolly Parton
Country music legend Dolly Parton has died at 80. Her family announced the devastating news in a video posted to Instagram Tuesday. "I am representing the Parton and Owens family today, announcing the passing of my Aunt Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean," a statement read by Dolly's nephew Bryan Seaver said. "The sadness lays with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus," Seaver continued. "Dolly also opened doors for generations of singers, songwriters, musicians and dreamers from every walk of life," he added. "By her example we believed that anything was possible. She never saw a door she couldn't open, and the doors she opened made and changed history." "My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly, but so have you. She has always been on your television, your record player, you CD, and on your phone playlist, becoming an extended part of your family, whether you liked it or not." It remains unclear exactly what the country crooner died from, but last year she confided to fans that she had been suffering from health complications since the death of her husband Carl Dean earlier in the year. She had also cancelled a series of appearances and performances in the last year. Known as the queen of country music, Dolly was famous for a huge voice which belted out hits like "Jolene," "Joshua," and "9 to 5." She was also famous for her over-the-top looks, equally huge personality, charitable causes, and Dollywood theme park in her home state of Tennessee. What do you think? Post a comment. The superstar died over a year after her beloved husband, Carl Dean, who passed on March 3, 2025. Dolly was born in 1946 into a rural household with 10 siblings and no running water, saying over the years that she grew up "dirt poor" and had to scrape by with her family. But despite those struggles Dolly's mother encouraged her apparent musical talents -- by 5 she'd written her first song, by 10 she was singing on local radio shows and at just 13 years old she made her first appearance on the legendary live Grand Ole Opry radio performance in Nashville.I did not know that.
That's where she met the likes of Johnny Cash and Porter Wagoner, two stars who she would work with throughout her career as she shot to super stardom. ... Despite those successes Dolly drove herself hard -- sometimes sleeping in cars and bathing in gas station sinks as she raced across the country from gig to gig for growing fanbase. "My bedroom was the backseat and [my Uncle Bill Owens'] was the front seat," Dolly said during a 2018 appearance on "Shine On With Reese." "I'd wash my hair in the filling station bathrooms and put makeup on in the side mirror of the car, and that was just how you did it."
I think what Dolly Parton showed us in the final stretch of her career is how desperately America still needs a common culture. Part of what made her so beloved is that she cheekily dodged every attempt to force her to telegraph the message that her music was for only one sort of… pic.twitter.com/9HVt3Xa27f

The only thing I know about Parton is that in her preparation to be in 9 to 5, she memorized every line she had like it was a play.
It was apparently just naivete on her part about how movie making works, but she came prepared.

Dolly got her really big catapult to the general national audience from Johnny Carson. In the days of the Palestinians he told a joke involving Yasser Arafat, punchline being, "Dolly Parton said, 'Yessir EyeAre Fat."
She wrote Carson a note about the joke. He invited her and she became a guest next week. He introduced her, for the first time, to an audience who had never seen her. That was it.

Dolly-adjacent:
Calvin Rickson, an engineer from Texas A&M University has designed a bra that keeps women’s breasts from jiggling, bouncing up and down, and stops nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.
After a news conference announcing the invention, a large group of men took Mr. Rickson outside and kicked the shit out of him.

Dolly Parton had them all as well as much of her wealth going to charity and literacy.
She's an example to many and won't be forgotten, not just for her talent but her person. By all accounts always kind and loving. Never took a wrong step in public and beloved by many. May she RIP as she joins her husband and touches the face of God.
The song that touches my heart is her voice with Brad Paisley, "When I Get Where I'm Going." There'll be only happy tears...don't cry for me down there." The words of the lyrics and melody are gorgeous and meaningful.
The angels surely gained another today who will sing in the celestial choir. xoxo

Dolly got her really big catapult to the general national audience from Johnny Carson. In the days of the Palestinians he told a joke involving Yasser Arafat, punchline being, "Dolly Parton said, 'Yessir EyeAre Fat."
She wrote Carson a note about the joke. He invited her and she became a guest next week. He introduced her, for the first time, to an audience who had never seen her. That was it.

To me what was so great about her was coming up from nothing and becoming a huge success. But not stopping there. She gave back. That was so important to so many of her fans. She started Dollywood in a poor rural part of Tennessee and gave so many people an opportunity to make a living. Her loving heart is what made her so great. She is with the Lord now, as it should be.

Target has apologized for a circus clown Halloween costume that critics accused of evoking Blackface and 19th-century minstrel shows following online backlash.
The costume was sold as the “Kids’ Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume,” according to the since-deleted listing. The costume was sold as part of the retailer’s seasonal Hyde and EEK Boutique brand.
Target removed the “offensive” costume and said that it should never have been featured in its stores.
“As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale,” company spokesperson Brian Harper-Tibaldo said in a statement to FOX Business.

A Charlotte man charged with making detailed threats to carry out mass shootings at five public schools has been released from jail just three days before students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district were scheduled to return to class.
The man’s release has sparked outrage among parents concerned for their children’s safety.
Drew Andres Owens, 33, was released from the Mecklenburg County Jail at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday after posting a reduced bond, according to jail records obtained by the New York Post, with the new school year beginning today.
Owens faces five felony counts of communicating threats of mass violence on educational property and has pleaded not guilty. The case remains pending.

The area is beautiful also.
Dollywood used to be Silver Dollar City before Dolly bought it.
I went there when I was a kid and enjoyed the area, but the park was basically an old western town with some shops and a gunfighter show.
Dolly turned it into a modern theme park.

Speaking during Friday prayers, Mustapha said:
"We want Muslims in the police, as federal agents, in the fire department, in the Pentagon, in the White House. We want Muslims in the Senate…you name it. Because we believe that if we can produce leaders that still can hold on to some of these values, we can change the world, inshallah"

IIRC, a month or so ago, it was in the news here in CA that the state library head had not invested our share of the Dolly Library book project funds in actual books. The money went somewhere else and he said he had no idea where it went. Big shocker.

I remember being intrigued with what the place was before it became Dollywood. For about 2 or 3 years back in the 60's it was called "Rebel Railroad". You'd ride on a steam train, and througout the ride you'd be attacked by Union Army, Native Americans, and bandits...and the Confederates were the heroes that fought off each attack. Tough sell in today's world.

Posted by: Sharpie at August 25, 2026 03:08 PM (bhqEU)
Technically, we're in the same position as police bodycam activists, before the results were known. We have a hypothesis that we believe in, and our opponents are fighting like they have something to hide.
There is an asymmetry of risk, in our favor. If we're wrong like the bodycam people, the worst-case scenario is we find out the country is full of crazy idiots voting to be slaves. We can then move forward with learning how to manipulate them into voting for their own damn interests, while everyone has more trust in the system.
The worst-case for the other side is that we're right, their election fraud is so endemic that they have completely forgotten how to win an honest election, and they could spend 40+ years in a permanent minority before they sort things out.
It's not just the odds, the payout asymmetry is *fantastic*.

We firebombed every city in Japan but a handful - some for cultural reasons (Kyoto) and some to save for nuking. The nukes were impressive because we did them with one plane, not that their total damage was so much worse than the bombings we were doing to Japan, and Germany too for that matter.

I remember being intrigued with what the place was before it became Dollywood. For about 2 or 3 years back in the 60's it was called "Rebel Railroad". You'd ride on a steam train, and througout the ride you'd be attacked by Union Army, Native Americans, and bandits...and the Confederates were the heroes that fought off each attack. Tough sell in today's world.
That sounds kinda awesome.

She never forgot or left anyone behind, and could always be counted on to chip in for charity. After the wildfires she paid $1000/mo to families who had been displaced and set up a charity to help others. She funded scholarships, medical treatment and research, and any need which arose. Her father never learned to read and she felt that held an otherwise brilliant man back so she set up the Imagination Library to send free books to kids every month and had her father help run it. She was a salve for an ailing world.

Supreme Court Blesses Trump's Mail-In Ballot Executive Orders by Vote of 6 to 3
Standing, baby.
The procedural bar of standing -- the requirement that a litigant have an actual and particular legal interest in a case before allowing him to press sue -- giveth. And it also taketh away. Here, it giveth. It giveth good and hard.One America NewsFox:
@OANN Supreme Court Sides With Trump Admin on Mail-In Ballot Restrictions The Supreme Court has lifted an injunction blocking President Trump's election integrity order in 23 states, clearing the way for new restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms. Under the order, USPS can check its distribution of mail-in ballots against a DHS-maintained list of citizens. The DOJ and USPS say they will move to implement the changes immediately.
Trump scores Supreme Court win on mail-in voting restrictions before midtermsObviously the three braindead woke women dissented. AP's story is full of bias, obviously:
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump admin to enforce revised mail-ballot restrictions
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a victory on Monday, allowing it to enforce President Donald Trump's "election integrity" executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms. The high court lifted an injunction that had blocked the order in 23 states that challenged it after the administration appealed in July. The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department said they would immediately implement the revised mail-ballot restrictions after the ruling. Most immediately, the ruling clears the path for the U.S. Postal Service to check its distribution of mail-in ballots against a list of citizens maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. But it's also a significant political victory for the Trump administration as it has advocated against the widespread use of mail-in-voting, citing what it believes is a heightened vulnerability to tampering and voter fraud. Most recently, Trump slammed what he called a suspiciously high volume of mail-in-ballots cast for [Nythia] Raman in the 2026 LA mayoral race primaries. "You know, they don't have voting booths; everything's by mail. I don't think a Republican can win in California unless you pass the Save America Act," Trump told Fox News, referring to GOP legislation to narrow the scope of mail-in voting and voter-ID requirements. "They're going to have to get rid of mail-in voting." Like many onlooking conservatives, Trump pointed out that, after election night, the vast majority of Democratic votes had been for Nithya Raman, creating a delayed outpouring of support. Fox News Digital has not reviewed any particular case of election fraud tied to the LA mayoral race.
Even so, Trump's original executive order looked to eliminate any ambiguity. Titled "Preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections," it directed federal agencies to compile citizenship-based lists of eligible voters and ordered the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail-in ballots only to people appearing on those approved lists. "Several Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1015 and 611, prohibit foreign nationals from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections. Yet States fail adequately to vet voters' citizenship, and, in recent years, the Department of Justice has failed to prioritize and devote sufficient resources for enforcement of these provisions," the executive order reads. Where critics of the order saw a federal effort to dictate the terms of state-run elections, the court on Monday sided with the administration, stating that the way the executive order was made put requirements only on federal agencies. In essence, the order didn't put any new requirements on the states themselves. "[It] directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to take appropriate action to create and distribute State Citizenship Lists. This provision is an internal directive from the President to a subordinate. It imposes no obligations on the States, so they 'suffer no concrete harm from' it, and without concrete harm, there is no standing," the court wrote.
Which "experts" did you consult? The same leftwing "experts" you always consult, right? Did you consult a single expert who believes that mail-in voting increases fraud, as it obviously does? The leftwing media always claims that "experts" support its own leftwing biases. And yet the media never consults any other "experts" but the hand-picked lefties whose opinions they know in advance. That's why they call them. They know what they're going to say. This is a racket that we need to address: The media is itself non-expert, but claims it can render expert opinions because it has consulted "experts" and is just relaying their opinion. And yet, there are of course many experts who disagree. But these are not cited. Because the media has decided these experts are wrong. But dinky-brained "journalists" went to three years of journalism school and have absolutely zero subject-matter expertise in any discipline. They are experts in nothing. This means, that in a dispute between experts, they are absolutely unqualified to determine the winner and loser. They don't know what the fuck they're talking about. But in case after case, the media -- which tells you you must always rely on "experts" and must not "do your own research" -- does its own research and decides which experts are right and which are Lying Racists, despite the experts themselves having failed to make that conclusion. They obviously did this with covid, in all disputes involving it, from masking to vaccine injury to the covid origin to the need to lock ourselves in our homes for a year. Some experts gave them the leftwing version of the story, and other experts disputed it -- but these know-nothing uneducated non-expert simpletons and fools decided Who the Real Experts Here Are and ruled -- WITHOUT EVIDENCE -- that all dissenters from this media-fabricated "consensus" were conspiracy theorists, frauds, and liars. I'd really like to see more people challenging the non-experts of the media about their qualifications, or lack thereof, to settle disputes between actual experts. It's a very big question, especially today, as the media's favorite tactic for deciding the "truth" is to claim they know who The Real Experts Here Are and declare them to be in the right, based on nothing but their dinky, pathetic J-school degree.
The decision leaves room for additional court challenges that could further slow Trump's order, and other similar cases have already been filed. The U.S. Postal Service laid out how it would implement the order last week, but time is running short to impose major changes. North Carolina is sending out ballots Sept. 4 overseas and to military voters, and other states will quickly follow suit in just a few weeks. ... While the emergency order is not final, it does have the potential to create chaos around voting across the country, with Trump often questioning the integrity of elections and the nation's highest court again the possible arbiter of a political controversy. ... The three liberal-leaning justices publicly dissented, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writing that the rule "lets another shoe drop in the Kafkaesque nightmare that our precedents have been steadily creating for certain plaintiffs who seek to bring election-related challenges." ... Mail balloting has long been a favorite target for Trump, who has claimed that it breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and his own use of the voting method.

Mr. Fetterman is so popular with Pennsylvania Republicans, he’s liked by 79% of party respondents versus just by 20% of Pennsylvania Democrats, according to a survey released Tuesday by The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena University.
Over two-thirds of self-proclaimed Democrats hold an unfavorable view of him, while only 17% of Republicans have adverse feelings about him.
Mr. Fetterman’s overall favorability among all Pennsylvania voters is 46%, down slightly down from 48% in 2024.
As for the state’s other senator, 66% of Republicans approve of Mr. McCormick and just 10% disapprove. Democrats who favor him make up 18% compared with 49% who don’t.

The SAVE Act would do a fair amount, for sure.
But, the GOP is not actually fighting any of the Trump EOs and efforts. Most of the GOP is actively helping, especially at the state level as they do things like hand over voter rolls to the DOJ for auditing.
It's just that there's still a cadre who won't actively help, concentrated in the Senate. And most of them are gone at the end of this Congress anyway.

Fetterman's Republican popularity would plunge if he switched parties.
Because he's actually a hard leftist on 99% of issues, and the second he tried to compete in the Republican arena everyone would use that against him.
PA GOP like him because he's "reasonable" for a Democrat. They'd hate him if he were a Republican. People think he'd be, at worst, a Collins. But he'd be another Murkowski.

Having been interviewed on some published research by no less than the NYT about 18-20 years ago, they never published it when what I said did not fit their template for the story. Ditto for for local media on a state immigration law and enforcement way back when.

My favorite journalist tactic is their frequent use of local college/university political science professors who, for some unknown reason, always take the Democrat side on the issue.
The local rag, back when I used to read it, had a College of Charleston professor on speed dial for just such occasions.

Probably true. I don't particularly care as the Democrats are likely to do him in during the 2028 primary. My guess is he is aiming for a media career as an honest truth teller rather than actually party switching. Arlen Specter was often Democrats in PA favorite GOP guy until he swapped parties so Obamacare could pass through the filibuster. Didn't save his ass at the next election when he was taken out in the Dem primary. Funny thing with Arlen, he was a Democrat before he became a Republican and then a Democrat again.

For some strange reason there's been this "consensus" that you can always make voting as easy as possible, even if it's so obviously open to fraud. But never have any enforcement of even black and white laws to protect integrity of elections.
I will say though, GOP needs to make a full court press fighting mail in ballots in all 50 states.

Parton shared the news of her longtime partner’s passing last year — and it was her nephew who did the same for her “with absolute pride and great sadness” on Tuesday.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,” Bryan Seaver, who was also Parton’s head of security for more than two decades, said of the “honor.”
In his emotional tribute, Seaver revealed, “Dolly called me and said she wants to rest in a beautiful bed of plush cotton because after a life wearing heavy rhinestones, she finally deserves to be comfortable and have some rest.”

There are no experts who think mail in is secure. NONE.
Anyone who claims it is secure is a blithering hack. Mail in voting is DESIGNED to open the door to fraud -- that is it's sole purpose.

Honest answer, no. The 2000 election showed the problem with military ballots. The military and USPS bureaucracies repeatedly failed to get the ballots in time to vote counters so the elections were already decided and certified before some of the military ballots dribbled in. Gore's team was arguing in Pensacola Fed. Ct. that military ballots that were late or somehow not strictly compliant with all the absentee ballot rules should not be counted while chanting every vote must count in Florida state courts including those made by mistake (the butterfly ballot).
Then, apparently Democrats did wholesale fraud on military ballots in Georgia with 100 percent Biden vote batches. Nasty critters and you should blame Democrats for the mess.

States must submit to the DHS in a standard format their voter rolls. The DHS will cross reference it against a list of American citizens.
Those who are verified will be sent over to the USPS on a state-by-state list to ensure the mail-in ballots go to the proper people.

Mail-in voting doesn't just facilitate fraud, it guarantees it. That's the entire purpose of it. There is no legitimate reason for universal mail-in ballots. Absentee ballots were the way it was done before. Limited, vetted.
The mail-in crap started during the Covid op, with a phony public health justification. Once that was over it didn't go away, in fact it was expanded. It's obvious fraud.

Ordered a package from a place on South Florida on August 3rd. They shipped it out on the 4th.
Usually takes two or three days to arrive here in SC from there.
Unfortunately this package was shipped to Denver, sat there a day or two and instead of going back east it was sent to San Francisco, sat for three days, then to San Jose, CA, then it was driven all the way to Memphis, TN, then finally arrived at the mailbox on the 17th.
This has happened before a few times where something went way off course, but this is the first time I saw a package make it all the way to the west coast and back.

Of course. As with most important things, most of the commission's findings were obvious common sense.
But in line with the general social and especially civic collapse that picked up steam in the late 90s, all of the ridiculous and insecure voting methods (mail-ins, extended voting "seasons", harvesting) gradually were instituted across much of the country.
The country that essentially invented the concept of representative government created through elections is in the lower % of all countries for election integrity, and at the bottom of all medium- to high-trust societies with high administrative capacity. Well done!

2. PDT puts enough pressure on the progs that they elect to kick things off themselves; or Vance wins and they do the same during a Vance admin.
There is no fucking way this all gets wrapped up nicely just via electoral victories. We weathered the late 60's/70's shit at a time when the demographics were wildly different, at the very start of the final leg down for the USD. The horde here is skewed older and doesn't fully grasp what life is like for the zoomers and alphas.

Places where such ballots can be harvested or dropped off will see no change because of the ruling or the USPS actions. But in theory non-citizens would be excluded from the mail-in scam. Which would do nothing about in-person improper voting, provisional ballots in-person, etc, in states where there is zero election integrity due to no ID requirement. But it does complicate fraud at-scale.

@shipwreckedcrew
Tempering my initial thought -- the Court, with the cooperation of the liberals, "rushed" this decision out for a prudential reason.
It's finding of a lack of standing on the part of the States is tied to when the complaints were filed and the status of the record then -- no "Proposed Regulation" and no "Final Regulation." All the supposed harms were hypothetical.
But there are now both Proposed and Final Regulations and the Plaintiffs are now going to be able to point to the provision and say "We will be harmed in the following way if this goes into effect."
That is not the kind of hypothetical they had to make back in April when the complaints were filed.
The Court is signaling to all involved that the facts now are different than the facts in April and the outcome on the question of standing might be different now.
I do not think it is a coincidence that the Trump Admin. announced it had a Final Rule back on Friday and the Court issuing this decision today.
There are only about 75 days left before the election. Whether Judge Talwani or some other Judge now tries to tie up the Final Order to prevent it from being implemented

Were there that many Dems too lazy to vote all this time or is there some cheating going on?
California has pretty much legalized all the Dem cheating, so I’m going with they are cheating, especially in the large metros.

ELE vote fraud takes significant resources including money. And a lot of people looking the other way.
2026 will be the first major election where (i) a lot of money that would have gone to vote fraud has disappeared (USAID, etc) and (ii) some major vote integrity measures were implemented.
I'm not sure why there's still no much doomsaying. To be sure, I may be too optimistic. It may be that Fraud Inc was just too big and fat to be slaughtered in one election cycle.
But it makes no sense to think that 2026 will be 2020. It won't be. Not even close. Hell, even 2024 wasn't 2020.

Frothingham v. Mellon was in 1923. The only big caveat to the decision is if a law/action violates the Bill of Rights. That came in a 1968 case, Flast v. Cohen dealing with the Establishment clause. Then a citizen can sue over spending that violates the Bill of Rights, in this case, public money for religious education. That particular exception is less viable today after Scotus weakened the old wall of separation between religion and government in the 80's and 90's.

- Get lots of "dirt" in the rolls. People who don't vote, but get ballots
- Redirect those ballots to central fraud office (this is easily done. One way is to change the address for one day when mailed, then change back before anyone notices. Another way is harvesting - just collect them after delivery)
- Fraud those ballots and inject. Boxes at 3:00 AM

What's really making the left nuts is that they no longer own the Supreme Court as they did for decades. The Donald knows this because he did it.
I'm fine with having his actions get stopped by activist lower courts only to be eventually overturned by a higher court. It makes the left nuts that Trump isn't acting like the lawless dictator they claim he is and he gets the win anyway while showing the country just how broken our judicial system has become.

The Gregoire debacle in Washington state was a harbinger or preview. Democrat election fraud is legendary, going back decades. In the 1960s it was an open secret any Republican needed roughly a million ballots just to break even.
But it's spread far and wide since then, it isn't merely confined to big city precincts and corrupt places like Chicago or Detroit.
California was once a solid, reliable Republican state. Really. With a shitload of Electoral votes as well.

Completely different national environment ("Maybe Trump IS Putin's cockholster" being repeated by GOP congressional leaders for 2 straight years had an effect), but the whole partisan turnout advantage is an observable pattern over the decades.

- only contain likely voters. Every unmotivated person on rolls is potential for fraud. The only check on false voting is the person complaining that they were told at the desk that they had already voted.
- Rolls have to be public, and fixed early enough before election day that the public can canvass to make sure all the names are real and addresses accurate. This is a controlled document and not "live." It is a legal contract. (we ignore this flagrantly in USA)
- etc. there is more but the two above are relevant to this discussion.

I think you underestimate their ability to adapt. Democrats have successfully been ahead of every cycle except the last where they underestimated turnout. I believe some of the fraud prevention and eyes on will help. But there seems to be something going on with the electronic counting process. More needs to be done to audit the actual votes cast with the counting.

Places where such ballots can be harvested or dropped off will see no change because of the ruling or the USPS actions. But in theory non-citizens would be excluded from the mail-in scam. Which would do nothing about in-person improper voting, provisional ballots in-person, etc, in states where there is zero election integrity due to no ID requirement. But it does complicate fraud at-scale.

The fact that it was Andrew Mellon who won, if they are historically minded, would piss them off even more. Andrew ended up getting a totally political IRS investigation and charges on his taxes in the FDR administration. One of the reasons to admire soon to be Justice Jackson, is that as the IRS chief counsel at the time and soon to be AG, he told off FDR and his political crowd that the charges were a loser and that it made FDR look like shit.
As one of FDR's oldest political friends, FDR had to take it from Jackson. Mellon died from cancer before he was exonerated by the Board of Tax Appeals.

Nah.
The GOP actively worked with the Democrat Party to help them along in 2018, 2020, and 2022. The RNC was in controlled opposition hands. The GOP was more interested in defeating Trump, so they largely stepped aside and let Democrats do things.
2024 showed that Democrats weren't good at adapting. They fumbled the whole thing very, very badly.
All it took was one well-timed lawsuit in Philadelphia when they tried to shut down ballot counting at 10pm election night, which the RNC led by recent heads Lara Trump and Michael Whatley orchestrated.

There are innumerable circumstances everywhere that produce ‘excess’ mail in ballots that find their way into voting Blue—every single time.
Funny how that works .
. .
Mail in ballots are the mother’s milk of cheating…..well, that and electronic ‘vote manufacturing machines that are easily manipulated.
Trump’s issuing a National Emergency Executive Order to essentially mandate the Save America Act is about the only remaining way to avoid a Commie takeover.

They still will think their ever-more unhinged and spittle-fecked hundred page tomes on the horrors of all things Trump are a magical incantation that prevents any further rulings.
Like the ruling that underpins this and basically boils down to:
Someone, somewhere, somehow may possibly think that some way some how someone will be able to see how they voted and then for some reason some how that unknown someone may possibly decide not to vote.
And that is voter suppression.
That's it. That's the whole argument.

Right now, they can just print out ballots, fill them out, scan them, and pretend they were 'mail-in'. A recount finds the same number of 'mail-in' ballots.
But the USPS keeps optical scans of the mail it delivers; they even send me an email, showing me what I can expect to find in the mailbox when I collect it. So, with matching barcodes, an audit would find that those ballots were not mail-in at all, since the USPS had no record of ever delivering an envelope with that barcode. Their Easy Mode election fraud would get much harder.

Not likely.
He's selling his stance to anyone with money. He hates Christianity, things Jesus was non binary and thinks trans children are the greatest thing ever. Blacks can't get a fair trial in Texas because we're all racist and the system is geared against them.
That will NOT resonate well with the Texas Christian voter.

Embrace that it is an op. You can pay a crowd of influencers to post false bullshit on X and shills to then comment on the thread.
On any important discussion on X, you see the paid shills from bot rings, comment mills in SE Asia and China, and otherwise people out to lie, cheat, or whatever they need to do for FUD. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt raising.
Want to try to determine what is what, look at past voting records including Paxton's AG runs, 2024 Trump election, and the 2022 patterns to establish what is called a normal GOP vote. ratio of TX. Then compare it with the normal Dem vote. Then you can if you can get them, regional crosstabs of any Texas polling to determine whether the sample is bad on R-D normal vote.
Real election analysis takes a lot of time, media just blow past that as do 'influencers' directly to muh feelz and muh opinion. Even most of the political professional media analysts like Cook Report, RCP, or ole Nate Silver pass on the most ridiculous polling outliers and use them.

Yep. Since Anthrax happened, USPS now images front and back of EVERY envelope sent through the system with tracking from where to where. But as the ballot envelopes are often shredded by fraudsters or non existent in the first place, this did not scare them.
What scares them is verifiable and unique individual ballot tracking plus the imaging which means the risk for cheaters facing serious prison time (mail fraud among other things). Res ipsa loquitur on the envelope and tracking if a ballot goes missing or never was delivered in the first place.

Actually it does when mailed to the recipient already. Plus billing is based on it. Whether it comes back that way is different as a mailed absentee ballot can be put in a drop box, delivered to the election office, etc. But, that makes it dead easy to indicate which ballots are likely fraudulent.
The ones without USPS tracking obviously. And it makes the ballot harvesting in states that don't allow it even more risky because the USPS is not going to deliver if the USPS address and voting information does not match with a citizen and the state voting record. It tears the curtain over the black box of absentee ballot harvesting where ballots were sent in multiples to non existent residences, Wal Marts, etc. and retrieved from the dead letter repositories to vote.
Tracking to and forbidding delivery to non residences prevents that.

Trump Links a Just the News Report Suggesting That Ilhan Omar is Being Investigated by ICE for Immigration Crimes
As JJ mentioned in the morning briefing, Trump seemingly confirmed that there is an active probe into Ilhan "Omar's" immigration crimes.
Specifically, he shared this report from Just the News, which noted that ICE had refused a FOIA request for information about Ilhan Omar's immigration status, citing "enforcement proceedings." That is: We do not discuss pending investigations.ICE refuses to disclose records on Ilhan Omar fraud probe, cites ongoing 'enforcement proceedings'
It's All in the Family: The agency claims that releasing documents related to an investigation into the lawmaker's alleged immigration fraud would, under the law, interfere with "enforcement proceedings."
The federal government is refusing to turn over records related to an investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement into allegations of immigration fraud by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., citing a legal exemption for ongoing investigations. Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in January, seeking the records pertaining to any investigations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the allegations that Rep. Omar, who represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, married a relative in order to help him remain in the country. Omar has denied the allegations. No court records, DNA evidence, or other documentary proof has ever substantiated that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar's legal husband from 2009--2017, was her biological brother. "ICE has determined that the information you requested is being withheld in full pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A). Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings," ICE told Just the News in response to the FOIA in May. The FOIA exemption cited by the agency "applies to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes when their release could disrupt such proceedings," the reply reads. ... Earlier this year, Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the Justice Department was reviewing the allegations. "I don't want to prejudge an investigation," Vance said. "It certainly seems like something fishy is there. If we think that there's a crime, we're going to prosecute that crime, and that's something the Department of Justice is looking at right now." The allegation that Omar's second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is related to her, or even her brother, first surfaced during her 2016 election campaign for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives. At the same time, allegations emerged that when she married her second husband she was still married to her first. ... President Donald Trump has repeatedly invoked the claim that Omar "married her brother" in order to get him into the country, accusing her of committing immigration fraud. "She married her brother in order to get in, right? She married her brother. Can you imagine if Donald Trump married his sister?" He also called for her removal, saying, "We ought to get her the hell out," Trump said at a December 2025 rally.
The National Pulse suggests there may be other grounds to denaturalize her:
The records may concern longstanding allegations that Omar's 2009 marriage, to a Somali man claimed by some to be her brother, was fraudulent and arranged to benefit his immigration status. It may also relate to the fact that she may have failed to disclose her family's role in allegedly committing war crimes in Somalia.

Posted by: nckate at August 25, 2026 12:36 PM (enNUy)
I would attribute it to Betty Frieden and the Feminine Mystique. I hope I'm not mixing up people and books. I'm thinking of the one where a comfortably well-off white woman railed against the men of her high class (by any historical perspective) for placing women in such an oppressive gilded cage, but framed as a screed against men in general.
It has always been the case that men and women joshed each other, as a kind of jockeying for favorable treatment within a context of secure attachment between the sexes. But that began to break down as man-hating lesbians skin-suited academia in the '70s, and their vitriol trickled down to high-school girls by the time of Gen-X's adolescence.
They say, dress for the job you want, and even lower-middle class white women were adorning themselves in the raiment of man-bashing as teens, long before they ever even had an upper-class man in their sights. And over time, the original context was lost, and teasing became genuine man-hating.

Immigration lawyers are getting fined the maximum amount for filing false asylum claims.
Asylum disapproval rates are at historic highs (roughly 95%).
The admin is revoking visas at historic rates (just announced to revoke 200,000 tourist and temporary work visas the other day). On top of TPS ending for literally ever group under them.
All legal immigration categories are down double digits percentage from 2024-25 (new H1-B visas are down about 80%).
ICE keeps humming along, picking up people in major operations.
Self-deportations probably continue (story recently about Somalis losing their TPS and fleeing to Canada).
The admin is squeezing from every direction, and it's working. And Republicans losing Congress will change literally none of it.

The more Republicans are failing to talk about bread and butter issues, the better for Democrats at this juncture and in 2028.
Congress will very quietly push back behind the scenes on this (even while publicly cheering it). They don't want the next administration rounding them up.
Even if they succeed in kicking Omar out, do they think she will be replaced with a moderate Democrat or a Republican? Omar’s district is the most progressive in Minnesota.
It’s the point of going after political opponents. The headline is all they needed for their base
It is amazing, and troubling, how fully MAGA has swallowed that "married her brother" bullshit.
Affordability, affordability, affordability! People can’t afford to buy a house or pay rent or groceries or gas or healthcare. The GOP are desperate to distract us.

Or the various curious behaviors like his Chicom pilgrimmages, his desertion of his unit before deployment, and his flight from Nebraska, let alone the grooming that he and the misses did with that young boy about their own governor, Walz.

Sounds about right. DJT authorizes the importation of metric tons of foreign beef products into the US to provide financial relief for consumers, and all I've seen from the MSM are the interviews of outraged US ranchers, meatpackers, doom and gloom financial experts, and pols looking for campaign donations.
The MSM doesn't give a sh*t about US citizens; it's all about the TDS and the voices in their heads.

I don't think 17 months is long enough to reverse the declining herd sizes, but I don't think the US ranchers ever intended to do anything about it. Why should they? High prices and demand only makes them richer.

17 months is plenty of time for breeding. Breeding happens all the time through the process, and it's a question of overproducing in the face of new deregulatory pressures.
17 months isn't enough time to go from babe to ready for processing. It's enough to increase the size of the herd, though.
They tried to game the system and maximize profits because they have an effective monopoly.

The left is keeping a few from being deported but not the masses and apparently their lawfare project is beginning to breakdown as well. Several really big immigration lawyers have suddenly shut down their shops and the whole edifice of visa fraud, primarily to the benefit of Indians (dot) and Chinese is being dismantled.
Like a war, it is not a story of individuals but of masses. Harder to visualize and see but closing the S. Border had the salutary effect of being able to concentrate on visa fraud. Illegal visa overstays and other fraud involving work visas are now being pursued. 200k visas have been put into limbo this week, probably over massive credential fraud concerns of a particular consulate in a particular country.

Denaturalization, as opposed to deportation of illegal immigrants, is a process that has to go through the judiciary.
It's one major reason there are so few of them.

So why not just take that list from the states and cross check it against the feds' own immigration and IRS data (ie. people who have moved out of state still getting a ballot, addresses in parking lots or whatever)?

A lot of Nazis had their histories expunged and were able to emigrate to the U.S., at least ones that were considered useful in rocketry, chemical and biologicial warfare, aviation and aviation medicine, and propaganda techniques. Operation "Paperclip".
One of the big problems they had in Europe and "DeNazification" was that for over a decade you pretty much had to be a Nazi to stay in government. Once the war was over, if they precluded former Nazis from government there wasn't hardly anybody left, except for Communists, and that wasn't going to work either.

The Trump admin is doing everything it can on its own. Border is closed, so illegal immigration is over. But visa issuance is also down massively, but Trump can't just stop most of it on his own. Statutes are written in ways that give the presidency little latitude about how few visas of each type he can give out.
That's the point of the $100,000 fee for H1-Bs. He can't end the program on his own, but he can write rules to make it harder and more expensive to use.
If we somehow keep the House in November, I think we could see some action on getting more immigration restrictions codified with the changes we'll see in the Senate (Mitch, Cornyn, Cassidy, Tillis, and Ernst all gone).

Trump has shifted the Overton window with the help of the Biden crew as to what is acceptable.
Even in Europe, it is shifting to the point that Polish government is actively warning migrants that attempts to climb the fence warrant being shot.

I think Biden's administration destroyed the Democrat brand for large swaths of people that were previously open to it, and a central issue that caused it was immigration.
I still think the Biden Politboro could have retained power if they had simply been somewhat sensible on immigration. But they went full Leroy Jenkins because they are insane and stupid.

NBC News
@NBCNews
A Minnesota man is accused of crushing his co-worker’s head with a hydraulic grapple in a prank gone wrong during a tree-trimming job, killing the 26-year-old co-worker.
. . . .
"Crimmins told police that he and Tyler Anthony Lynch, 26, were working together in Apple Valley on Thursday afternoon when the two started 'f---ing around.'"
"The men noticed the grapple's shadow and Lynch's shadow on the ground, and Crimmins began moving the grapple to make it look like it was grabbing Lynch, the complaint says. Crimmins was watching the shadows rather than Lynch himself, it says, and didn't realize the grapple was closing in on Lynch's actual head until it crushed it."

Two new rules, the 103k replacing the old 100k fee is based on rulemaking for economic costs to US employees per a Congressional law provision. Situation like tariffs, the initial order has gotten into legal trouble but the newer rulemaking like on retaliatory tariffs based on specific calculations are harder to overturn legally in high court.
The other is a revising of the non cap 401 which are ngos and universities are going to get tightened. And the OPT and various other education visas leading to work visas are getting tightened a lot too. No 30 day grace period to monkey branch after expiration for example. No all online classes to qualify for educational visa stays, etc. etc.

even in PHILLY people are seeing it, and they are warming to a full clearing-out of illegals! it's crazy!
but just starting to do it, starts people realizing it's possible, and what it means for their lives - and unless you're an immigration lawyer or a GODDAMNED CATHOLIC BISHOP!!!, it's a very very good thing for you

Your sarcasm is warranted, but it's not just one Bangladeshi man. There's a Walmart 20 minutes from me that looks like downtown Yemen with 90% of the women in full burqas. The nicest, most upscale mall within an hour of me has completely changed in the last 20 years. It used to be full of attractive all-American looking people. Now it looks like little India.
I take your point that all that doesn't change in a few short years. But it's looking really different out there, and I'd like that to turn around.

Our immigration problems built for 60 years.
Biden overdid it for four.
A lot of this is irreversible. Too many naturalized foreign-borns and their children in the system.
But you reverse it as much as possible one cut at a time.
And Trump 2.0 is the most anti-immigration administration by action since Coolidge.

Sysco and US Foods. The latter was a client of a company I once worked for. That contract alone probably kept us afloat for a quarter or two...
Often see big-ass Sysco & US Foods trucks on the interstate coming home from the gym/coffee shop in the morning. The smaller companies are scrambling while our food supplies become, ah, more generic.

They stole the election from Trump, started using the government as their personal hammer and funding mechanism and were moving in the direction of nullification of all future elections. In that time and scenario now action seemed a bridge too far or too extreme. Shit, they used Covid to completely undermine the Bill of Rights and practically zero happened to them. There really were not any consequences.
Then came Trump II and everything that followed.
They thought they were in the end game where their thousand year reich was about to begin. Then it evaporated.
BTW that people are thinking of electing Democrats to any office, no less a majority after everything that happened completely ignored what happened a few years ago.

It's my understanding that the admin's approach to the OPT program is to establish fraud and follow APA to the letter in order to lay the groundwork to undo it completely since it's a regulatory creation instead of a statutory one.

2023 and 2024 were the biggest years for granting H1-B visas in American history.
At least 3 years for each (with the one extension after three for another term) means that those in 2023 will be facing their first real hurdles this year in terms of staying.
And the admin does have authority to remove the visas on an individual basis due to fraud, but I believe that has to be tight enough on each basis to survive in court if the admin is going to try it at the mass level.

Agreed. But in my fantasy world they still owe their constituents some level of loyalty and duty. They are actually still drawing a paycheck so just the basic decency to "do the job" should still be in play. I know I'm being unrealistic, but I would like to see these people hounded out of decent society once they leave office. As payback for the knife in the back.

A lot of the low level were either 'refugees' or illegals from S. of the border and they gravitated toward welfare plus whatever they could make on the jobs--construction, stocking shelves, whatever.
Those from China or the subcontinent of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. and ME muzzies are often here on work or educational visas, not all but probably a majority of those immigrants and they are out to take jobs from the American middle and even upper class now. Medicine, engineering, computer sci, etc. Now even jobs like public relations (see recent Texas State Univ kerfluffle).
And that is part is probably why no reaction on immigration curtailment, the upper and middle class are getting gored or their kids are now.
The cheap illegals across the border were doing crap to make things cheap for the middle and upper classes--cheap construction, cheap tree service, cheap lawn care, etc.

I haven't tap danced since I was 4yrs old and it's not going to be jazzy. I wasn't that good when I was 4yrs based on videos of dress recitals. In color and all my glory.
Always a beat behind (I was one of the youngest is my excuse) if we were in a circle parade with our tamborines and red tutus in one Spanish dance. Holding up the class so I'd be first.
The very best, however, is when one girl tapped in my space. You can see my big mouth yapping to the dancing instructor stage right and pointing to her. She does nothing so I strong arm this girl right outta my space. While tapping. My father loved it.

They went full Leroy Jenkins on immivasion because they are bugmen. Leftists do not have principles and structure like you or I. I have worked with them, and they operate like a nest or hive, where each is allowed to pursue his own priorities as he sees fit, and they just kind of trust that the end result will suit.
It's effective, because it uses the Invisible Hand; but it's an appallingly amoral misapplication. "Respect the diversity of tactics" ultimately means, "Don't criticize anyone, even pedo groomers and psycho thugs." And each issue is managed by those most passionate about it, with no input from the rest.

He absolutely did not have recurrent themes across his whole body of work.

Overall, he had nothing. He was an empty vessel. Kevin Williamson was more of the auteur on the Scream films than Craven.

Instead of a general position, they allow the niche groups to promote their "single issue", and since a significant number of these groups are radical, that "single issue" is usually some outlandish outlier position. Then, they depend on all the other niche groups to fall in line and support them because they will get that same support on their own issue.
The problem is that the other groups can't debate the issue because they don't understand the reasoning or care. Finally, it's why democrats don't campaign on issues anymore. They campaign against the opponent. They rarely know what their own candidate stands for. That's how you get Nazi tattooed candidates, and Sharia Law candidates.

Hasan Piker: By Only Caring About Israel, Jews Are Increasing Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Violence, and They Deserve It
Remember the very well-promoted "Islamic backlash"? We were told that the worst possible thing that could possibly be would be for people to take their anger about Islamic terrorism -- and Muslim support for Islamic terrorism -- out on Muslim civilians.
Norm MacDonald parodied this insane claim by telling us all what really terrifies him:
After the murder of Charlie Kirk, lefties worried about the real crime, which would be the hypothetical, possible postulated retaliation by rightwingers against leftwingers:
Nick Robinson
@bbcnickrobinson The news from Bondi beach is grim. For many it will have terrible echoes of the massacres on October 7th. For Jews living here it will feel painfully close to the murders at a synagogue in Manchester. It is a reminder - if one was needed - that Jews all over the world now live in fear. If you struggle to understand that fear - you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community - I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand. Tonight Jews everywhere will light candles to mark the start of the festival of lights - Hanukkah. Few will feel able to celebrate. Many will be worrying about what might happen next.
if Muslim jihadists detonate a nuclear bomb in a major US city, killing tens of millions, can you just imagine how terrible backlash will be against the Muslim community? -- Norm MacDonald

@MikeRogersForMI More calls for violence coming out of the El-Sayed campaign... Here is his running mate, Hasan Piker, saying that if AMERICAN JEWS support Israel, they will be violently targeted because of it. This is all in reaction to Michigan Democratic Congressional candidate Jeremy Moss, who happens to be Jewish, saying he is unsure if he will be able to support Abdul for these very reasons. Absolutely DISGUSTING. If Abdul El-Sayed had any courage at all, he would call this out and disavow Hasan Piker once and for all. We're waiting, Abdul...

I really want El-Sayed to lose convincingly. At least 5 points.
A high profile Islamist getting partisan support because of his party ID and no more would be a healthy signal to send out. Getting under proportional expectations would be even better.

There. I said it. Perhaps fear of backlash (and perhaps maybe there should be some backlash to instill that fear) will get them to root out the terrorists in their neighborhoods and mosques. If you don't really support terrorists, then report them, expose them, and stop sending money to terrorists groups in the Middle East.

I do, however, understand Islamophobia. Not the fear part, as I will never fear them. I do want them to be eradicated.
I don't like their invasions without a shot fired to defend our culture or that of the UK or Europe. They KNOW our laws protect whatever they do as nothing is so bad as to be declared racist or an Islamophobe in their liberal hive mind.

Callais is going to make the problem so much worse as blacks lose their over-representative power in the Congressional delegation over the next few cycles.
Black votes in individual districts are going to become less necessary because they'll be shoved where they don't matter. Black candidates won't win enough black votes by default to keep that particular grift alive outside of the blue states that keep the enclaves intact.
And there's going to be revelation that there is no cohesive idea keeping the Democrat Party together anymore.
There hardly ever is anything terribly cohesive keeping major political coalitions. It's more vibes and generalized ideas. But Democrats have been doing graft and anti-Republican as their identity for so long that they don't have people in power who understand anything else.
It's going to devolve into fights of personality while the GOP keeps some semblance of cohesiveness under MAGA going through its shifts post-Trump.

Muslims are willing to extend that into violence, with their "Righteousness" coming from their alliance to Allah as superseding all law and order.
Blacks also act as a group of The Oppressed, so the BLM (mostly peaceful) riots and looting were just them getting back at The (White) Man, and they still demand their one million each in reparations.
The main groups that are condemned for acting as a group seem to be Jews and White Christians. Those two groups must be diversified, if not killed outright. And they must be forced to say "Diversity is Our Strength", and other leftist mantras.
It's insane, but the left has managed to make much of our society insane, via schools and other infiltrations.

How a Quartet of American Musicians Outwitted the KGB
"In 1985, while the United States engaged in a battle of nuclear brinkmanship, four Americans landed in Moscow on a mission to smuggle secret information in and out using music as their cipher. Under the watchful eye of the KGB, the group faced countless challenges and risks—because they weren’t trained in espionage. In fact, they were musicians with the New England-based Yiddish-music focused Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB).
"Now, the quartet’s saxophonist, Merryl Goldberg, together with Vince Houghton, the Director of the National Security Agency’s National Cryptologic Museum, tell the harrowing story of how Goldberg devised an ingenious plan to encode the intelligence within the group’s sheet music."

Black women will remain the most loyal Democrat voting block, and I wouldn't expect Vance to repeat Trump's performance with black men.
But, the damage does seem to be done. Cracks formed within the coalition that will make the black vote slightly less uniform (85-15 instead of 90-10 or, in an Obama situation, 95-5).
But combine that with Callais where suddenly, like, people in Montgomery don't have "someone like them" to vote for at the federal level?
I think we're in the opening of the black vote being non-monolithic for the first time in decades. It'll take a long time to play out, though.

He's saying if Israelis and establishment politicians keep equate Zionists and Jews (which isn't accurate) as one in the same, eventually something will happen on American soil, like the terrorist attack in Sydney. Hate Hasan if you will but he's not wrong.
Hasan's opinion is the same many share in relation to the Palestinians. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
He’s right, but draws the wrong conclusion. It is dangerous for Jews to voice any support for Israel in any way. And that’s bad. But his conclusion is “that’s good, Jews should be silenced.”
The democrats elevating this utter garbage human being are no different than the Republicans who can’t stop sucking off Fuentes. I lose so much respect for anyone who thinks this guy is chill.

White liberal women around the country have been dressing in Handmaid's Tale costumes including, and I'm not making this up, masks, to protest against Trump and us for years while supporting muslims who literally want to put them in garbage bags and full head coverings.

There should be a study as to when and why blacks convert to islam.
I'd guess mostly in prison. Then they muscle up in prison gyms and are set free to poison the well.
Around 20yrs ago my parents and a few other couples would bring soap, books, etc to prison with their pastor in MS. They were told by the warden that islam was fast spreading and exceeding Christianity because the imams were frequent visitors to brainwash them.
A black moslem is often the product of prisons vs retaining Christianity that their grannies probably instilled in them.
Prison changed them in many ways and the worst is them becoming worshippers of the rock and more violence.

For women? Harder to point to. I think Covid really kicked it off, opened the floodgates.
That was their full flowering moment. The whole society shifted to "safety first, safety only, safety always." Safety is the driving force in the female mind.
And they got to enforce that. On everyone.

The Michigan socialist Senate nominee sat down with Jesse Watters on Jesse Watters Primetime for what should have been a straightforward conversation about where he stands on the issues. Instead, when Watters asked him whether government should regulate transgender medical procedures for children, El-Sayed did what leftists always do when they can't defend an indefensible position: He changed the subject to something bizarre and personal.
"Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed asked. Watters, visibly caught off guard, didn't answer right away. So El-Sayed asked again. "Jesse, are you?"
You probably know where this stupid question is leading.
"Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question — doctor," Watters replied, needling El-Sayed over his background as a physician and former public health official.

Not too hard to figure out. Islam allows--even encourages--men to indulge in the behaviors that got them thrown into prison. Allah blesses them for it.
Christianity, on the other hand, requires them explicitly *rejecting* their old self and embracing a NEW self, one founded in Christ's teachings.
Much more difficult, but ultimately the only path that leads to eternal reward.

- Medicare only reimburses the docs and hospitals 60% of the real cost. Private insurance covers the missing 40%.
- Medicare recipients pay a monthly premium based on income. It's not as much as private insurance but it isn't free unless you are on Medicaid.
- Medicare only covers 80% of anything. If you want better coverage you pay for it with a Medigap plan or Medicare Advantage plan that has deductibles and co-pays that vary depending on how much you pay for it.
Medicare isn't free. Medicare for all will require massive tax increases. Medicare for all will certainly f#$k up the entire US medical industry. But it's not a problem - I'm sure we'll get medical assistance in dying like Canada has implemented to control costs.

Someone pointed out that which I did not know:

The ones chosen to be the sex objects of the elite.
The ones that got to have sex with the rich and powerful.
While the "grey" handmaids were mere menial labor (and, I think they said, forced to watch the procreational activities of the Reds).
So basically, these women wish to be sex slaves of the elite.

Well, what was really decided was that the plaintiffs didn't have standing in the lawsuit since both no harm had been experienced and the final rule hadn't been published at the time of the lawsuit, so a lower court injunction got stayed by SCOTUS.

Society spend millennia building guardrails and safety nets and social structures to temper the worst of these impulses, and channel them into something good and productive.
Mostly, that was getting them married off young, putting them to work in jobs and raising families, and giving them something to do.
Then, starting a few decades ago, the left decided it was a great idea to effectively remove all the safeguards keeping women's self-destructive nature in check. They would now not only be left to their own dangerous impulses, but those impulses would be cheered on and nurtured.
Of course it was a disaster.

It's the same as freemium gaming. Those free games that get you hooked on easy early wins but then require either long times between new advancement or, you know, you could just pay to keep going.
Which some people do, spending, sometimes, tens of thousands of dollars just to keep playing some dumb game that has no ending.
Except, all you need in the social media instance is clout, and clout is free. And it can even pay.

Scott Presler has proposed installing monitoring equipment outside polling places and ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The idea is straightforward: create a clear, continuous record of who approaches these critical points in the election process and what they do there.
Unsecured drop boxes and lightly observed polling sites have repeatedly produced legitimate questions about chain of custody, multiple ballots, and last-minute dumps. Visible monitoring removes the shadows that allow those questions to grow. When every approach is recorded, the opportunity for misconduct shrinks and public confidence rises.
Election integrity is not optional. Practical safeguards that document activity around the physical infrastructure of voting protect the value of every legal ballot. States that still treat drop boxes as honor-system locations are choosing opacity over transparency. Recording the process is a basic step toward ensuring that only lawful votes decide outcomes.

I think that higher level is trying to stoke violence against their mouthpieces, seeing it as a win-win. If people lash out, they think they will have a blank check to retaliate with the organs of the state. If not... well, putting boots on faces is an end in and of itself.
It will not go the way they think; their march through the institutions has weakened things they take for granted. They are treating western martial/government power as a cargo cult and don't understand that the remnants of western civ won't go out alone if it comes to that.
They have also prevailed for a century on their opponents being "nice", but a lot of dudes I know are just waiting to fire up the excavators. You can't act like these freaks and then expect much mercy. We are past the point of deflecting consequences with simple name calling.

Derbyshire said something like "if we are going to divide along racial lines, I'm sure not supporting some other race". But laws that require "diversification" are generally enacted against the majority white guy.
Of course now the stack includes LGBTQ, WOKE, anti-Israel, TrumpHaters ... but Race/Ethnicity are still the biggest way to divide (and conquer) US. I used to live in majority black New Orleans ... everyone mostly participated in everyone's festivities, but when I went to a MLK parade in the 9th ward with my black Christian woman friend, there were not many white faces in the crowd.

I point to 2000 as the tipping point for the general insanity of the Dems. Losing the Presidency by 500-some votes broke them.
For women? Harder to point to. I think Covid really kicked it off, opened the floodgates.
That was their full flowering moment. The whole society shifted to "safety first, safety only, safety always." Safety is the driving force in the female mind.
And they got to enforce that. On everyone.
That was a constant 8-ball of ego boost for them.
Taking that away. Then the end of Roe. That's what broke them.
And we're seeing the only thing they know: The tantrum to force others to do what they want.
I disagree. You're looking for specific triggers, when I think this is something that has been building for decades, and has now passed an inflection point.

It causes them to believe things that are demonstrably false.

If Michigan fails to turn over its voter rolls to the DHS and USPS does not deliver mail-in ballots, does that mean the Senate could refuse to seat this terrorist buddy of Hasan Piker if he still gets elected?

The Morning Rant
Over the next 15 years, the enrollment rates in traditional higher education are set to decline by 15 percent, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education has predicted. Some of that has to do with falling birth rates, as fewer Americans will be turning 18 in the coming years. Some have decided to go into the trades as the costs of higher education have increased more and more over the last several decades.You don't need a college degree to run an excavator, but you do need real skill. Fixing HVAC is a real skill that is in demand, and that demand will never go away! Plumbing a new office park is a non-starter for AI, but not for 20-year-old apprentices with no debt. Making a double espresso with a cute pattern in the foam is a luxury that as labor costs rise will be replaced by automation. Real education can be had with some curiosity and a library card. Indoctrination and huge debt can be had at any number of failing universities across the country, but more and more people are figuring out that it is nothing more than a scam. When graduates leave campus unable to compose a readable email or balance a check book, but are still on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars for their useless degrees, something has to change! If I had a high school senior about to go out into the real world, the last thing on earth I would suggest is college, unless he is dead-set on medicine or engineering or one of the few professions that require higher education. Learning to weld may sound like a step down, but when he is debt-free and making $75k right out of trade school, while his friends are scrambling for entry-level jobs that don't even pay enough for their student loans, that step down might be the smartest thing he ever did!

Having my 3rd sitting as a senior this year (and successfully launching #1), I disagree with this...the actual advice should be to take on no school debt if you are going to go to college or trade school. That usually means living at home and commuting to the state school.
It's no sexy, it's not partying, but it's smart.
I also encourage all 18 year olds to get out and work or volunteer for the same group for at least 2 years...show a future employer that you were good enough to bring back the following summer/year. It doesn't matter if this is work in the major or not b/c half of the kids won't end up working in their major, but will work where holes are for entry level jobs...

That way students can be forewarned that their Aztec Lesbian Poetry BA isn't gonna cover the $80-100K in debt that will accrue.
Also, those students who graduate with degrees that don't support the debt level needed to attain them should be able to sue those colleges, forcing them to use their billion dollar endowments to help pay off the debts.
Lastly, the government should not offer student loans for degree programs that have proven consistently to not generate post-grads a wage that can payoff the debt.

The joker in the deck is that Medicaid and Medicare expenditures have passed Social Security and are leaving it in the dust as a percent of budget that is rising the fastest besides interest on the debt.
Health Care is 2.1 Trillion in the current budget, Social Security is 1.7 trillion. Yet, Social Security even with demographic changes, due to its high payroll tax kicks in about 70-80 percent revenue per dollar spent.
Medicare tax revenue is far behind at about 50 cents on the dollar spent, and Medicaid is 800 billion as the Fed's 50 percent match plus Obamacare shit.

That used to be 'the deal', and maybe still is in some levels/areas of government. Now the pay is better, some areas it surpasses private sector due to H1Bs, but the retirement is a 401k/IRA not a guaranteed pension (which probably makes financial sense but feels like a potential insider trading issue), and you're easier to fire in some cases than you used to be.

And that is why they need to be deregulated. Small private schools commonly had some sort of tie to religious congregations but decided to become one with the world due to student financing from Uncle Sam. Returning to the past might just reinvigorate old dying religious sects and provide use for those big church campuses that are expensive to maintain for a mere one or two days per week. Using those classrooms as a basis and using the common Masters and even doctoral teachers with credentials in that faith could provide cheaper faculty costs and no fed student financing avoids the whole Fedgov apparatus. Grove City College in PA is an example.
And like removing the ABA from accrediting lawschools, states should be given the power to accredit higher ed rather than the feds deferring to these multi state blobs of administratium.

Colleges and universities want students to take LOL-I'M-FCK'ED degrees. Worthless degrees, with worthless students that haven't even mastered 6th-grade reading, writing, and arithmatic.
Solution:
Go all Che Guevara on the college and uni administrators. Sieze their funds. Student loan forgiveness will be based on money ripped out from the frauds and from the endowments.
Higher education got their nice carve out. You can't even bankrupt out of that debt. The unis get paid up-front - the loans are with the government. And there's no proper controls on price because the market has been distorted so much. Fake courses, fake professors, fake learning, but charging a premium for it. And pushing laws (like not allowing hiring tests) that forced a bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement to get hired.
So, make them pay for it. Harvest them like a Chinese eunuch salivating over a caged Uyghar's organs. Rip out every brick of the buildings for resale. Sell tickets to a Salt-The-Earth show.
Burn them to the ground.

Starting as a welder making $75K is good in and of itself, but it isn't necessarily a lifetime commitment, you can do many things over your life. Or you can start a business in your trade and put down good economic roots.
One thing is certain, with a trade a young person can move around, live anywhere, and always be welcome and find work. You can travel pretty much anywhere.
Avoid college, gain a useful trade, and you'll be financially well off and can live a varied life.

I can relate. I started my career in aviation as a mechanic, working OT to make ends meet and I dreaded the weekday the tool truck came by. Then when I got the taco wagon stocked, I transitioned to inspection and after a while, I weaseled my way into engineering (without a degree) by doing the gruntwork the enginerds didn't want to do. By the time I went back to engineering school in my late 40s, I realized I should have done that in my 20s.

Every single one of them will be going out into STEM world (at this point--that may change).
So my job is to prepare them for the communication challenges they will face as STEM professionals. I'm not teaching them to become English majors.

That's one way to describe "intentionally bad films", I suppose.
they're just not "films" in the way you think of them
no one was "thinking"!!!!
I grew up with fanzines and related. and while I'm a bit young for R Crumb I knew of him and met him and loved his work. he was earnest like you
but yeah the films aren't about storytelling or structure or anything like that. and Bakshi isn't alone. loads of 70s and 80s films like this, but I love a lot of them! even when not high

Lifetime caps on student loans of all types, big cuts to graduate education loans with a cap differentiating between a professional degree like medicine or law and a Phd in puppetry which has a far lower cap on loans.

Everyone of course wants their guy to answer the phone right away and come right out and fix their shit that day.
There's a whole subculture of commercial property owners who have the same problem. Say a bathroom fan needs to be replaced. No big deal, right? Well it is, because they often don't have a dedicated repair guy. They put it out for bids, like Uber for Contractors. It's the dumbest goddamned thing I've ever seen.
They charge ridiculous prices for the most simple things. You might have to wait 3 or 4 months to actually get paid, but you can bank doing simple stupid shit, being on call and getting stuff fixed for them right away.
This is one reason why the poor beleaguered can't get anyone to come out and fix anything. They can make way more money gouging someone else.

Nope, that money is coming from boosters with deep pockets. Sportsball is actually a money loser for almost all US universities, by last account, about ten to fifteen actually make a profit if you used std. accounting.
What is inevitable is the NIL is hollowing and destroying college athletics and with the gambling mania for sportsball betting on everything now, not just point spread, it is highly likely to have multiple massive sportsball betting scandals soon.
A classic example was LSU shelling out (pre NIL days) huge salaries for football coaches who they then fired while their library was deteriorating and had a massive roof leak problem.
Want cheaper education, separate and spin off sportsball athletics (keep the rest at intermural), as semi pro operations and get rid of the student athlete requirement. Let the NIL players pay for their education or not as they want.

. . . .
"Kailey [Erhart, 22] allegedly chased the children's father, Cameron, and grandmother with a knife before the fatal attacks, according to the affidavit. Kailey also allegedly pointed a gun at the children's father and told him, 'Say goodbye to your kids,' in a video recorded on his phone, Valley News Live reported, citing police. He reportedly took the gun away from her after a struggle.
"Kailey then attacked her three young children, according to the affidavit from Mandan police. Once authorities arrived, they discovered the bodies of her three children, all of whom had cuts across their necks, inside the home. Colton was transported to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery, while the 3-year-old and 5-month-old were both pronounced dead."

Average job careers is now up to two to three changes over the years of life and including spells of unemployment--sometimes lasting years. It may be more as I haven't done academic advising since I retired so no need to look it up since then.
The old 1950's and 1960's mode of one career with only brief unemployment stints for a lifetime is effectively dead.

Yes, but not just Clemson, USC as well. I had to look it up but I think it's 7 years and for in-state students only.
Years ago Clemson always attracted out-of-state students, especially from the northeast, because it was still a good deal compared to their in-state schools. I dunno if that's still a thing.
I have Unpopular Opinions about Clemson's crazy growth in particular, but mostly because it's a massive PITA even to drive through town nowadays.

The State Department will soon announce the revocation of B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 for individuals who previously were or are currently seeking asylum, according to the AP, which cited government documents.

In the 14 years after 9/11, from 2001 to 2015, the U.S. only revoked 122,000 visas.
Since taking office, the Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas. Just 18 months. Targeting 200,000 more foreigners on top of that is a huge, unprecendented escalation."

Only two countries placed retaliatory tariffs on the US in response to Trump:
China and Canada
China, because, China.
Canada, because they've been dumping Chinese goods re-labeled as "made in Canada" on the US.
That was why talks broke down.
We had a deal, that they'd stop doing that.
Then Carney was called in to the boss's office in Beijing.

I think ballistic made an excellent point. I'm a smallish 50ish female who works out regularly, and I have to occasionally get just inside the crawl space door with a shop vac after heavy rain. If I have to make multiple trips to empty the vac, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't know how even young guys work in confined spaces (often with critters or the evidence thereof) all day every day for years. I'm really grateful that they do, happy to pay for their work, and I hope they are planning for less demanding physical work when the time comes...

But if you can help them realize that the big lump on their shoulders is there for more than memorizing equations and other things wicked smaht people before them already figured out use that big brain to discover the world for themselves you will be the best teacher ever.

Our ruling class has a lot to be blamed for and treating their fellow countrymen as dirt under their feet is one of them. Somewhere perhaps about 1976 or so, patriotism among a large swath of the ruling class disappeared.
It started in the 30's on the down low, spread in the 40's to elite circles and then spread like wildfire through colleges and universities during the sixties as something to sneer about.
And yes, the Democrats in office during those times were the canary in the coal mine.

That in part is why accrediting agencies need to be blown up--they don't measure for real outcomes but rather process (and yes, I was on our university's departmental team for accreditation prep and response).
Accreditation metrics are essentially bullshit when the real metric would be does your program turn out people that are qualified for the jobs they seek and get. These agencies focus instead of tedious and stupid internal workings of the universities rather than quality of product.

-Wanted to be an airline pilot ever since grade school.
-Best way to achieve that was flying first in the military.
-Needed a college degree for that.
-Got one (advertising, because it was interesting and easy).
-Got a private pilot license, too.
-Applied to and accepted for both Navy and Air Force flight program.
-Chose Navy.
-Got out of military with the kind of experience airlines are looking for.
Got a B737 type rating paid for under GI Bill.
Got hired, flew a lot, then retired.
Never once worked in the field of my college degree and never planned to. Getting it was simply to check a box to achieve the real objective.

Duke Power required a high school diploma or GED for employment (not even a college degree). HOWEVER, they also offered a test that you could take if you didn't have either. Asshole Griggs failed the test and sued, and the insane Supreme Court decided that too many black people failed the test, and that was Duke's fault, EVEN IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE TEST WASN'T RACIST.
So now NO COMPANY will offer any kind of actual test in lieu of a degree. The only way to get any kind of quality was to say, 'nope, this degree is a hard requirement'.
And then universities and idiot leftist women set about trying to give EVERYBODY a diploma.
And now we are at the logical conclusion of 'everybody deserves a degree'. Degrees themselves are worthless, and teachers simply pass failing students.

It pisses off a nation's elites most of all because it means that they too, by consequence, are not as important as they desire. Some emigrate to the great powers and try to ingratiate themselves into the system (you see that in the US and UK in the past). Others stay home and sulk because of 'fairness' and even the emigres are not allowed to ascend the political and power ladder in places like Japan, much of Euroland, etc .
Canada's best and brightest usually emigrated to America or the other Anglo countries. And that means the rest of their ruling class are resentful but would rather reign in hell in their bailiwick than give up their seat of power.

I happened to take a microbiology course that I aced and then worked as a phlebotomist one summer, draining patients of their morning blood samples. I looked about 16yrs old, so that was probably alarming for those that were awake. Both made me interested in possibly becoming a MD (I know, go ahead and laugh and get it over with). I took premed classes, did well in chemistry and dropped physics.
This led to nursing and it was the right thing to do vs working in a lab, reading machines for lab tests, and culturing urine, poo and nasty wounds. I needed people.
I did love all of my many jobs and no regrets.
I noted about 15yrs ago random cousin's children all wanting to be video game designers. Thinking they'd make it big in Hollywood or something idiotic vs making a living. None were smart.
Three nieces of my dude's went to an expensive private HS, did not seem stupid, and none have used their degree.

This has gotten worse under Trump, but it's not new by any means.
Never mind the typical fate of small (in population), defenseless, resource-rich countries that happen to border a Hitler or a Stalin.
Let's play What Would Hitler Do.
1) Flatten Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and maybe Winnipeg. Offer terms of surrender to Calgary and Edmonton. If they refuse, flatten them too.
2) Drop all bridges on the Trans-Canada Highway and the CN railroad.
3) Bomb all power plants and pipelines.
4) Mine the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Strait of Georgia.
5) Send Marines to occupy the Western Canadian oilfields (don't bomb those... we'll want them later).
6) Wait one winter.
7) Send in troops to shoot the starving, cannibalistic survivors. There won't be very many of them.

Yeah, Canada is amazingly foolish. It's crazy. They had a once or twice in history good thing going. A friendly relationship with a global hegemon who borders them.
All they had to do was:
1.) Never piss off the hegemon, and;
2.) Be just a *little bit* more business friendly than the hegemon.
That's it. They could have shit in high cotton forever. But starting with Trudeau's cuck father, they did the opposite.

Overwhelmingly meh would also mean that 100 master artists could spend their entire lives working to improve this piece and it would still be mid. It's mediocrity would swallow up their talent like the ocean swallows a single tear cried by Greta Thunberg when she discovers that someone, somewhere, is living comfortably.

An old, crusty farmer has successfully wooed and married a pretty, younger woman. He is taking her (and her baggage) to his home in his buggy. Along the way, the horse sees a sheep dog working his flock in a field and balks, stumbling. This knocks the man and woman askew in the buggy, nearly tumbling her to the ground.
The farmer gets out of the buggy, grabs the horse by his bridle, shakes vigorously, and says in a low growl, "That's one."
He remounts and they continue on their way.

He remounts and the continue on.
About a mile from the house, the horse stumbles, going down, and taking the buggy with it, the front rails digging into the road and causing the man and his wife to slam into the front portion of the woodwork.
The farmer gets out, goes up to the horse, and shouts, "That's three!" He then takes out his revolver and shoots the horse.

One of the best things that can happen to America in 2026 is El-Sayed losing convincingly in a swing state.
At least 5 points.

As the farmer reholsters his pistol and moves back to the buggy, the woman begins to berate him, "Why did you shoot the horse? Now we'll have to walk and carry everything! Why did you do that to the horse? It was just a stumble."
Interrupting her, the man leaned in and said in a low voice, "That's one."

The AI’s are so intelligent.
Toulouse-Lautrec’s The Trap is one of his darker images of Parisian nightlife. It’s not a literal trap so much as a picture of people caught in the social world of drinking, poverty, prostitution, and the margins of respectable Paris.
The title is especially suggestive because Lautrec was fascinated by Montmartre’s bars, brothels, dance halls, and the people who lived in them. He generally didn’t paint these people as moral warnings or grotesques. He knew many of them personally and tended to observe them with a surprisingly unsentimental sympathy

I'm still convinced that all of the election efforts are ultimately and mostly for 2028, not 2026.
DOJ knows legal timelines. They take a while. DOJ also knows that it can work through 2027 and 2028 even if Democrats take Congress.
The presidency is the only prize at the federal level anymore. Making sure Democrats can't win it in 2028 (leading into the 2030 census) is probably the most important project over the next decade.

We didn't get an extended exposure to leftists reacting to Romney, but it's hard to imagine the intensity of Bush McChimpHitler transferring to Romney. There's an exhaustion that sets in. A relief that the battle is one in some way because the Devil is gone from office.
And Trump has a specific feminine problem, his multiple wives and rumors of philandering. Vance doesn't have that. He's been happily married to his law school sweetheart and they have 4 kids together.

Still listening to Red Storm Rising. Got to the part of the story where the guys trying to hide from the soviets while they are invading/occupying Iceland kill a KGB patrol who decided to rape and murder a family.
When I read this, it was about '91 or '92 (I was 16-17) and I remember I kept getting unlucky and getting books with rape in them used for dramatic purposes. I decided I heartily disliked the trope. STILL dislike the trope.
The book is still good though. Like a different world.

The arguments will happen. Dedicated Democrat partisans and ideological leftists will believe it in their bones.
But those people vote in every election and don't matter.
What matters is the soft-leftist/Democrat. The ones who can be convinced, in one way or another, to vote or...not vote. Who vote 1 out of every 4 elections or so.
"Trump is going to rape me just like Jean Carroll whatshername," seems to have some effect on soft-Democrats.
"Vance is opposed to this policy proposal that I'm supposed to support," will not.

Two years away is a long time in politics. After the midterms, political attention will go toward the invisible primary where quasi interested pols will raise some money for a Super Pac, test the local political activists and officeholders in key early states to lock down commitments, and start laying down markers with interest groups/activists as to what their proposed agenda is.
And events affect this--Iran, inflation, debt, election security, etc. etc.
About July to August of 2027, you will have a basic field locked in for early primaries.

Complicating matters is the fact they are no longer allowed to do their job in many jurisdictions. Inevitably this raises the question - why are we paying for this?
Some DEI hire actually held a press conference in Baltimore or someplace like that, allowing that roving bands of rioters "just need room to destroy". Don't be fooled, none of these clowns want to "defund the police" per se, they just want to infiltrate the institution, kill it, gut it, wear its skin as a suit and demand respect.
While they lock up decent, peaceable citizens. We're already in the "empty the prisons" stage, de facto, by way of refusing to incarcerate serial criminals.

How a Quartet of American Musicians Outwitted the KGB
"In 1985, while the United States engaged in a battle of nuclear brinkmanship, four Americans landed in Moscow on a mission to smuggle secret information in and out using music as their cipher. Under the watchful eye of the KGB, the group faced countless challenges and risks—because they weren’t trained in espionage. In fact, they were musicians with the New England-based Yiddish-music focused Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB).
"Now, the quartet’s saxophonist, Merryl Goldberg, together with Vince Houghton, the Director of the National Security Agency’s National Cryptologic Museum, tell the harrowing story of how Goldberg devised an ingenious plan to encode the intelligence within the group’s sheet music."

Depends on whether you believe that the opposition to Trump is personality or policy.
I think for the leaders of the left globo homo, it is policy because Trump's policies destroy their power base (like an honest election and Census does in the US, destroying Iran's regime in the Middle East, etc.). Street level Dem Activists personalize this into Trump but have had a habit of demonizing every GOP president since Dewey with the possible exception of Ike. Ike, they just called dumb.

The Morning Report — 8/ 25 /26
Good morning kids. Well let's start off with some encouraging if not actual good news for a change. First up, we go to the immigration front which President Trump has been a stalwart champion on.
The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges.Next, we have election fraud which beyond any reasonable doubt denied him victory in 2020, and so it brings us to this rather shocking in a good way development out of the Supreme Court, a court that back when wreckage cleared from that disaster merely poked at the ruins instead of its duty in defending the nation.
The states sued too early. The states and DC’s claims are way too speculative . . . The Supreme Court has paused a lower court’s ruling that blocked parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail-in ballots with a 6-3 vote. This ruling does not have anything to do with the new USPS mail-ballot rules. Another injunction still blocks those rules. The majority agreed that the administration will likely “succeed on the merits of its jurisdictional argument, that the injunction is causing it irreparable harm, and that the equities do not favor leaving the injunction in place while the Government’s appeal is pending.”Obviously mail-in ballots go hand-in-hand with open borders insofar as greasing the wheels as it were of Democrats' patented election-rigging. You don't necessarily need millions of illegal alien wetbacks to actually cast physical ballots when your flunkies control the voter rolls and election process beginning to end, along with a postal service that will deliver ballots to anyone anywhere. And so, we'll just have to wait and see how all this plays out as the midterms draw nearer. On top of all that, there's this all-too-delicious to contemplate story.
President Donald J. Trump appeared to confirm on Sunday that federal immigration authorities are examining Representative Ilhan Omar‘s (D-MN) immigration history, sharing a report on Truth Social about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) refusing to release records related to its investigation into her by citing a federal exemption for materials that could interfere with active enforcement proceedings... The FOIA request rejection will intensify public scrutiny of Omar and raise fresh questions about whether the Trump administration is potentially pursuing immigration enforcement action against a sitting member of Congress.This evil grifting slag and her entire brood of mutants deserve immediate ejection from this country whom they hate with every fiber of their being. That they were even allowed entry and citizenship in the first place is a stain on our heritage and history, given the repulsive and criminal deception she engaged in to gain the tremendous privilege of American citizenship in the first place. Sadly, the odds of her and her brood being given the boot are slim and none given her pigmentation, Islamic background and of course her all important status as a Democrat. Still, perhaps the exposure this garners will at least in some small way have a salutary effect. Who knows, perhaps that may even be happening beneath the surface.
Something fascinating is going on below the surface: Black voters are loudly rejecting socialism. . . The trouble is that DSA acolytes tend to be lily-white and overeducated. A 2021 survey found that 85% were white and 80% had college degrees. Those demographics don’t work in most districts.. . Meanwhile, between 2020 and 2025, the number of black voters who identify with the Democratic Party has dropped by 10 points. For years, they were the Dems’ most reliable voting bloc; now they’re walking away. Black voters are voting with their feet.So, yes it's all well and good to go after Bro-Fo Omar, but given the fact that CAIR aids and abets in global terrorism including that which kills Americans both abroad and at home, that they still not only exist but are influencing our politics is blood-boiling beyond belief. If anything needs dismantling it's CAIR.
CAIR, which was designated an unindicted coconspirator of a Hamas front group in 2008, has sought to distance itself from the Unity & Justice Fund and claims that it neither created nor funded the super PAC. "CAIR has never donated any funds to any political campaigns, PACS, or SuperPACS, nor has CAIR established any PACS, nor has CAIR ever endorsed any candidates," said CAIR deputy executive director Edward Mitchell. "Doing so would be illegal." That is true by a narrow legal definition. But CAIR two years ago openly created CAIR Action, which immediately established the Unity & Justice Fund. CAIR and CAIR Action share board members and have shared the same street address in the past.Death to CAIR... Have a good day,

Could Late-Term Abortion Be The Key To A Republican Midterm Sweep? One Group Thinks So.

I haven't been following this Lindsay Clancy trial, as it's another White Woman Soap Opera. But I fear Clancy's supporters have more sinister goals.
- Normalizing killing your children. New York and Massachusetts have just said that killing a full-term fetus is A-OK, so why not extend it?
- Normalizing special mental illness that only women can suffer from.
- The usual and customary male hate.
- Imparting the notion that having children is so deleterious to women's health that women should never have them.
- Agitating for government moolah for having and raising children. Like, no woman can have a child without unlimited time off, free diapers, free food, etc.

When we took over, the FBI Laboratory faced a DNA-processing backlog of more than 1.81 MILLION samples.
Today: ZERO.
🔺 1.81M+ samples processed
🔺 Backlog had been growing by roughly 75,000 samples per month
🔺 Hundreds of thousands of samples were arriving each year
🔺 Profiles can help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes
🔺 Equipment upgraded
🔺 Resources redirected
🔺 Technology improved
🔺 Bureaucratic barriers removed
DNA profiles belong in CODIS helping law enforcement solve crimes—not stalled in a government backlog.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are rebuilding the FBI around one standard: MISSION FIRST.

@MarkRuffalo
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

Rather than suggesting Election and Grace are random lottery drawings, the chief purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
With Saul of Tarsus, he didn't have a compilation of letters, teachings and ministry to the Church prior to the Damascus Road experience. And even then, Saul, now Paul, spent three years under direct teaching before he entered into the ministry, and continually had to excuse his former self.
Mohammed is the exact opposite. If it was legitimately claimed that he received Grace, it would be profoundly difficult to separate Mohammed's prior work's authority out of received canon.
Mohammed, like wicked rulers in the past, served God's Plan and Purpose - sort of as an anti-Paul.

@GuntherEagleman
The liberal media is already writing Sophie Cunningham’s WNBA eulogy.
“Her future is suddenly in doubt.” “Get released after this season.”
Why? Because she had the audacity to say women should compete against women.
Not because of her shooting. Not because of her defense. Because she refused to pretend biological men belong in the women’s league.
They’ll platform every activist who wants to erase women’s sports, then act shocked when a player who defends them becomes “controversial.”
This isn’t about basketball. It’s about punishing the one who won’t play along.

Do they have Christian badges where you visit a Church and read the Bible ? Or Jewish badges where you visit a Synagogue and read the Torah ?
That is a gross understatement. Simply "reading the Bible or Torah" is lightyears away from "learning the pillars of Islam".
The five pillars of Islam are core acts of worship:
Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting and Pilgrimage.
"Learning" in Islam is:
Studying, mastering the proper steps, rules and methods to perform rituals (like prayer and fasting), and putting these Duties into practice.

The job of Cunningham's coach is not to help her team win, it's to pump up "the message". Clark, despite basically toeing the leftist line harms the message because she is white plays well. Cunningham harms the message because, regardless of what her larger political beliefs may be, she is pro-female in a pro-insanity league.

Haha, that's a little misleading, because Lake Erie has a shelf coastal zone that isn't deep, but the Lake averages 70-80 feet deep in the central part of the lake. Massive ore boats loaded with minerals used in steel making navigate the lake from Minnesota into Cleveland, so it is deeper than you might think (at least in spots). It used to freeze in the winter though, like a shallow lake should.
