So... I twigged that was AI because the guy has no reaction to any of this, and this kind of AI video always features giggling and this kind of fractured speech. But I thought it was cute, so I posted it so you'd enjoy it.

Hey, sometimes you still enjoy things that are Faked.

I hate AI slop (when it's dishonestly presented as real) but the torrent of slop is overwhelming my defenses.

Ears for music.

Human jungle gym.

Aqua miming, the art of the future.

Insepurrable.

Stray dog decides to adopt a family.

Senior pittie languished in a shelter for 600 days until a woman took a chance on him.

Oh no: Blind dog was stuck in a shelter for six years and just spun around in her cage to get exercise. But then a man adopted her.

I'd like to teach my crow to sing with me like this.

FAQ: If I tickle a rat, will it giggle ultrasonically?

Stray mama dog brings her dying -- almost no heartbeat at all -- puppy to the vet.

Raising a runt-of-the-litter tiger kitten.

Deaf gentle giant dog acts as a nanny to puppies to give the beleaguered beagle mom some time alone.

What if Lord of the Rings but orcs nice?

Stray cat adopts a woman and her dog.

55 Ace, here are some tips for choosing your crow's perfect name:

Match Personality: Choose a name that reflects your crow's behavior.

Consider Color: Names like Shadow or Jet highlight their black feathers.

Keep It Simple: Short names are easier for crows to recognize.

Selecting a name that resonates with your crow's character can strengthen your bond and make the experience more enjoyable.

Speaking of "Disclosure", there were some pastors, particularly one Evangelical pastor named Perry Stone, who claimed the Trump admin intel officials had summoned them to some "secret meeting" to warn them to prepare their flocks for the forthcoming disclosure of alien life.

Turns out this was more a "friend" told him stuff.

But then, another pastor claimed some Congressman from Missouri said something "disturbing" I'd call it, and then he was forced to apologize when Rep. Eric Burlison called him out and said he said no such thing as he was quoted.

But in the process, he apparently did admit that he spoke to some group of pastors in a meeting about this.

104 Hello halloo howdydoo and good evening, gang.

Had a relatively mild thunderstorm here in NE Land of the Red Man this afternoon, but with just a light sprinkling of rain. Now the evening sun is shining brightly on the land and buildings, contrasting sharply with the dark clouds retreating to the east.☀️

Rain was great for the garden. Maybe not quite so great for Daisy the Okie Malinois who wants to run around and chase a soggy dirty tennis ball. She doesn't mind, but she'll need to be toweled off thoroughly afterward. Can't be helped.🐕

Here's a pic MiladyJo took - doesn't quite do justice to the spectacular evening light.

One day I will go back to discussing crows, and how they are the opposite of a trigger for me, they are a "glimmer" which is those moments that indicate good things and good feelings are there and probably will show up soon if they aren't already there.

Democrats Melt Down Over Virginia Supreme Court Ruling, with Socialist Democrat Influencer Hasan Piker Demanding Violent Revolution and the "Smart" Commentators of the Left Unable to Read a Simple Court Decision

The left is spamming out wholly ignorant objections to the ruling.

A major one is: But other states passed new maps! Why can't Virginia pass a new map?!?!

Headquarters
@HQNewsNow
Republicans: Pass new maps in Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas ALL without a vote -- upheld
Democrats: Pass new maps in Virginia with a vote from the will of the people -- overturned
Make it make sense.

By the way: When they say "Without a vote," they mean without a public vote on a referendum.

Do you know why there was no public vote on a referendum in those states?

That's right, because those other states didn't require a constitutional change to pass the new map, so there was no referendum.

Charles C. W. Cooke
@charlescwcooke
Okay. I'll "make it make sense." Virginia has a constitution that applies in Virginia but not in those other states, and the government of Virginia did not follow that constitution, which is illegal.

To be more specific: States like Virginia wanted to Virtue Signal that they were anti-gerrymandering (which they're not, they just wanted to lock in the current gerrymander they approved of) so they passed a constitutional amendment limiting gerrymandering.

Then, just to show the left believes in nothing they claim to believe, they attempted to undo that amendment through a rushed and unconstitutional process.

The other states always left this power in the hands of the legislature, so the legislature is able to change the maps with a vote.

It's not so hard to understand is it? Aren't you the guys always claiming that you're the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM)? Are you entirely incapable of reading anything but BlueSky for your "research"?

Another stupid objection they keep on making: If this process was deficient from the very beginning -- which the Court ruled it was -- why didn't the Court make this ruling earlier?

This is a hilarious one. The Virginia Supreme Court was going to rule on whether this process was adequate or defective -- but the Democrats pushing the new map insisted that it was illegal for the Court to rule on the referendum before the referendum had been voted on and was entirely concluded.

The Democrats themselves insisted that the Court had no power to rule on this except after the referendum was voted on and was in the process of being implemented.

The Court read the Democrats' arguments and... agreed.

Here's another Smartest Kid in the Class (TM) Sam Stein babbling that this wasn't "handled" correctly. What he means is, if this was f***ed up, why didn't you stop us earlier?

Another one: The very, very smart (just ask him!) Dweeb Goblin Will Saletan:

Will Saletan
@saletan
Can someone explain why--if this was the court's basis for nullifying the redistricting measure--the court didn't rule this way when the challenge arose before the referendum?
It looks like the court waited to see which side would win, and then intervened.

With an ugly mug like that, you'd think he would know how to read.

There's a very easy way to find the answer to that question: RTFO. Read the fucking opinion, Retard Who Is a Genius.

By the way, do you want to know why the Democrats argued the Virginia Supreme Court should not rule on the process until later? For the same reason all litigants make such arguments: Because they knew the Court would probably find the process was defective.

What they were hoping was: If the process went forward, it would create its own political momentum, and then the Supreme Court would be too afraid to rule when the referendum has passed and would allow the defective process to stand.

But they weren't (thankfully!).

This is a stupid argument anyway -- whether the process was ruled unconstitutional six months ago or now, it doesn't matter. It would have been ruled unconstitutional then, or now. There was nothing the Democrats could do, because what they were trying to do was forbidden -- the Virginia Constitution demands a schedule for amendments that requires time for cooler heads to prevail, and the Democrats were trying to rush this process and ignore the built-in scheduling requirements.

So whether the Court ruled earlier or later -- the Democrats just were not permitted to rush the amendment.

And speaking of that rushed effort: the timing requirements were that a referendum be passed in one legislative period, and then an intervening general election be held, and then the vote be held after that general election. This is to make sure the public has the chance to vote out the rascals if they don't like the amendment they're trying to force through.

But the Democrats passed the referendum while voting was taking place for the next general election. In other words, there was no intervening election between the passing of the referendum in the assembly and the vote by the people, because the election was already happening when the assembly passed it.

And voting was already happening because Democrats created a clownlishly long campaign season instead of an election day.

Greg Price
@greg_price11
In the end, Virginia's ridiculously long early voting period is what sunk the Virginia referendum.
Amending the VA Constitution requires two votes in the General Assembly with an intervening election in between.
The first vote in the redistricting referendum was 40 days into early voting in 2025, when over 1.3M people had voted.
Hilariously, the key argument made by the lawyers in favor of the referendum was that only Election Day counts as the election.

The Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) -- just ask them, they'll tell you they're the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) -- keep asking the same questions and people keep posting the same link to the same publicly-published court opinion.

And the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) continue refusing to read a fairly straightforward opinion, not super-cluttered with legalese.

They don't read, because the Smartest Kids in the Class (TM) are above reading. They just know through Diverse Lived Experiences.

They're treating this opinion like it's The Hound of the Baskervilles or something. I mean, come on. It's not that hard.

Meanwhile, the violent communist and terrorist cheerleader that the Democrats all insist is a moderate mainstream voice calls for violence.

AGAIN.

Appeal to the Supreme Court and let them show how strictly partisan they are. Hypocrisy goes hand in hand with Republican and Christian values in my personal experience

Democrats must stop playing by the rules. Because the Republicans aren’t. They turned it into a street fight, so the Democrats need to stop caring about the rules and follow the Republicans’ example.

We’re at a breaking point with blatant partisan courts. Virginia residents VOTED FOR THIS. Ignore the court order and go full steam ahead.

People have no faith in their president or Congress. Now they have no faith in the court system. Once they have no faith in the voting process, the system falls apart.

47 I keep going back to a simple point... one that everyone seems to be ignoring.

The US Constitution guarantees a REPUBLICAN form of State Governments... ie... one where they have a Constitution that is their highest State Law.

Can you VOTE to ignore your own Constitution, as both VA and CALIF did? and still be a Republic?

52 Should be illegal, from Alpha News:
------------------------------

Data from the Minnesota secretary of state shows that 18,898 people used “vouching” to either update their voter registration, or become registered to vote, in Minnesota in 2024. That information was obtained by America First Legal in a data request.

Under Minnesota state law, an individual seeking to become registered to vote on Election Day can confirm their residency simply by having a registered voter “vouch” for them. In short, the registered voter signs an oath confirming the unregistered person’s address.

State law allows a registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight people. However, staff at residential facilities are not bound by the eight-person vouching limit. The state’s voter vouching system was recently criticized by congressional Republicans.

57 This should once again expose to you what the game is, to corrupt the courts. It’s why Democrats have installed true believers who largely know nothing about the law as their jurists. It’s why they are talking about packing SCOTUS. Without honest courts, everything is possible.

There is no way the Virginia court could have ruled in favor of Democrats and kept legitimacy. This wasn’t about one constitutional issue, there were several that created layers of issues.

There will be a time, place and court where they don’t care. This wasn’t it. Let’s see how long before that happens.

I do not want that to happen. Everyday you would pick up the newspaper and there would have been another bombing someplace in the country the night before. The body count wasn't high but if you lived in a big city you were fair game. Oh and the race riots on hot summer nights were a peach as well.

Posted by: Leupold at May 08, 2026 07:10 PM (hyjIQ)

Either way, it was the right thing to do.
Several states, mine included, were being unconstituionally forced to carve out districts so that one minority group would have a majority and who, incidentally of course, always voted in a Democrat.

It was an illegal move by the DOJ that lased for three or four decades and it should've been abandoned years ago.

So this is not really gerrymandering for these specific states, but realignment to a lawful, fair, constitutional reality.

133 >>Prediction: if the Republicans hold the House and the Senate, you are going to see an explosion of urban guerrilla warfare in this country.

Prediction based on experience: a lot of people will talk violence expecting someone else to do it. Where reasonable arguments end, the quest for progressive violence begins.

You will get a few lone wolf attacks. They will be dealt with harshly. You may even get riots in blue cities. Nobody will care. If they try to take violence into red states, they will find very quickly it is a dead end.

BTW a lot of the violence angle is being seeded and pushed by foreign actors including Russia and China. It has been part of their strategy for a long time. That why a lot of the threat actors will be standing with their dicks in their hand, alone right before they’re DRT.

google AI:

The Costco Chicken Bake is a popular $3.99 food court item ($3.99 - $4.99, depending on location) consisting of pizza dough filled with marinated chicken breast, smoky bacon, mozzarella, provolone, parmesan cheese, and creamy Caesar dressing. They are baked until golden and known for being a very cheesy, high-calorie meal (~770–800 calories)

It restricted undocumented immigrants from the state’s public services, including access to public education and healthcare. In addition, the proposition directed teachers and healthcare professionals to report any individuals suspected of being undocumented to the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) or the California Attorney General.

It isn't even necessary, because there are still two or three more fatal flaws with the redistricting, and IANAL but it looks like courts stop at the first good reason to say 'No'. They don't do a deep dive and explain all of the other reasons too, so if Virginia only 'cures' the first one by trying again after the next election, then they will find out what the second fatal flaw is. And then if they cure that one, then they will find out the third.

But as an operational principle, ramping the pressure up when they're already nonplussed and disorganized is a good way to keep them from regrouping and coming back stronger. So, go for de-retrocession of Alexandria County! Make all those Treacherous Bureaucrats, who imagine themselves to be our masters, live in the city they work in. They *deserve* it.

I think you mistake the audience if you think that the vast loss of life is a bug and not a feature. I used to discuss with leftists and you could get them talking about deathcamps in a matter of minutes, even without making them angry.

Posted by: Oldcat at May 08, 2026 07:24 PM (8avO+)

Communism can best be thought of as an inversion of Christianity: it purports to have Utopian ideals, but requires the commissions of the Sins of Pride, Wrath, Envy and Theft. Since Communists emphasize only the material, they view people as things, and deny their personhood. Thus, the mass slaughter is a feature, not a bug.

Ironically, for a bunch of atheists, they have a spiritual attachment to their ideology. It certainly makes Satan amused.

215 Calzones vary from pizza place to pizza place.
I've had good and bad.
But I like them as much, or more than pizza.
Strombolis aren't bad either.

Only really bad calzone I've had were store-bought in a plastic container from Food Lion. The cheese in it was iffy as they had so much preservatives in it that it was like eating string cheese. Took forever in the oven to properly melt, like double the time on the directions.

I bought two or three of them with different ingredients to see if they were better and finally gave up.

TL;Dr: Only get freshly made calzones from a pizza joint.

I don't think so. A lot of their funding has been cut, and whenever they go beyond generically urging other people to violence and threaten it themselves, they get arrested. So they just pine for someone else, with a job and money for a gun and maybe even a girlfriend, will risk it all so they don't have to.

They have the psychopaths who are fully capable of random ultraviolence, but if they were as organized as all that then they could be successful in business instead. This is not a country lacking in opportunities, where capable men have no other recourse or path to success but revolution.

226 Not sure that the Democrat gerrymander in Utah will work, actually. They rammed through a "Democrat seat" where it was +28 or so for Kamala. But the Utah Democrat party is running 1) a dicsiple of Nancy Pelosi who proved when he was in Congress he just did what she told him to do. He's the "moderate." 2) A frat bro type who claims that the LDS church is a front for drug cartels and he boasts about going around and literally pooping in church parking lots. Plus he's all about anti-Jews. 3) a Somali Muslim, who actually won the Demorat party convention to be the nominee, and this guy is a clone to the left of Mandami. He's got mandami's policies and Omar's somali roots. That's the candidates Democrats are offering Utah in their new district. The Republicans are offering a sane person. I doubt the Republican will win, but there's a lot of disgust at the Democrats who swore up and down that Utah as a one party Republican state was bad... and now we see what they have to offer. There's a reason Democrats don't win state elections here!

Quick Hits/The Week In Woke Combo Thread

Let us all take a moment to honor the true heroes that built America: Somali who got here in 199fucking9.

#Cult.

The Spencer Pratt ads -- both his own and the ones created by supporters -- are outstanding and true political entertainment.

Spencer Pratt's calm, cool, and well-prepared debate performance is making leftwing shit-blogs like Axios worry about the many-decades bill of Democrat governing incompetence finally coming due.

The two most consequential races in California have devolved into twin spectacles, with years of visible dysfunction hollowing out Democrats' case for competent leadership.
Why it matters: California is the ultimate paradox of Democratic rule. A state of immense wealth, innovation and cultural power is increasingly unable to deliver the basics of housing, public safety and disaster response.
The big picture: Those failures have been building for years.
But COVID and last year's catastrophic fires have transformed long-simmering frustration with California governance into a visceral public indictment of the people running the state -- one now playing out in the races for governor and Los Angeles mayor.

Psst: It's not a "paradox" that socialism turns rich orderly societies into poor chaotic ones. It's happened every single time.

Yes, you will need a photo ID to enter Barack Obama's ugly Soviet Konstuktivist library of lies.

It remains, of course, racist and unconstitutional to require an ID at someplace less grand and important, like a polling station.

I wonder why?

The Washington Post modeled the effects of a law requiring voters to show ID at polling places. Guess what it found?

By the way, you can buy ugly tchotchkies to show your support to the Obama Temple of Ego.

He also wants to sell you communist organizer Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, and black supremacist antisemite Ta-Nehesi Coates' racial provocations.

Me-Again is spiraling due to her crash in viewership. She's angry that people are noticing her sudden 180 flip on Islam. She used to say "Islam is not consistent with the western values" and urged Muslims to remain in Muslim countries.

And she used to say: "It's your duty as a Christian to stand and fight it [Islamism].

But then again, this is the same sixth runner-up beauty queen who gushed over little children mutilating themselves with "transgender" surgery only to re-invent herself, Madonna-like, as a firebrand anti-trans crusader.

So of course now she says that anyone who opposes Islam are "Israel Firsters" flooding her with a "torrent of demands" that she "hate Muslims."

Megyn Kelly had Tucker Carlson on her show today to talk about his Muslim viewers and defense of Islam.

Megyn said that yesterday she �received a torrent of demands� from the Israel First people and some conservatives �to hate Muslims�

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel alleges Beydoun instead used grant funds for personal enrichment, including maintaining a $550,000 annual salary.

I recently learned this (can't believe I'd never read or heard before) after meeting a neighbor on a nearby hiking trail (we're both ex-Marathon runners): your calves are like a second heart; and similarly to the way your heart is the pump for your circulatory vascular system, your calves are a critical extrinsic pump for your circulatory lymphatic system -- AKA the venous muscle pump.

Your lymphatic system relies on skeletal muscle contractions to propel lymph fluid against gravity and hydrostatic pressure, particularly from the lower extremities back toward the heart.

163 "WaPo did a study projecting the impact of a "proof of citizenship" mandate for national elections. Trump would've won New Mexico!"

The 2nd Congressional race in 2020 was won by a Republican 53.7% to 46.3%. Can't have that in a Communist blue state can we.

The 2022 race was won by a Democrat 50.3% to 49.6% (or exactly 350 votes for those keeping score) that included a stunning come from behind win that included taking a few key precincts days after election day, something like 85% to 15% if I recall correctly and I mostly do.

Those precincts were all located in a part of Las Cruces where the cops spend a disproportionate amount of time hauling people off to jail for offensives that include drugs, domestic violence, felons in possession of firearms, failure to appear, theft, robbery, etc. Remarkably, these "voters", in between committing civic mayhem, were able to find the time to make sure a Democrat won that election.

Some people still call that a stolen election. I call it an example of an exuberant electorate doing election stuff.

To make sure that the Democrats wouldn't have to deal with that again they promptly redistricted the Republican part of existence.

And is why the death penalty or life in prison without parole is the way to 'fix' pedophiles and rapists. They don't want to be 'fixed' is why.

Society needs to do that not only to punish them for the present crime but to prevent future victims which is something that the commies are actually incapable of understanding--it is never root causes, 'oppression', or whatever their current claim du jour is.

The root cause is that the pervert rapists do it because they enjoy it, it gives them kicks to do it, and they will continue to do it unless put in prison for life (perhaps not then), or put to death.

DOJ Will Denaturalize 12 Cultural Enrichment Officers Who Lied About Their War Crimes and Support for Terrorism

But what about looting and pillaging?

DOJ Moves To Denaturalize Alleged Terrorists And War Criminals

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is moving to denaturalize 12 individuals for offenses and allegations including providing material support to terrorism, war crimes and sexual abuse of a minor, the Daily Caller has learned.
The DOJ is expected to announce on Friday that it is filing denaturalizing actions against 12 individuals, originally from Iraq, Colombia, Morocco, Somalia, Gambia, Bolivia, Uzbekistan, Kenya, India, China and Nigeria.

The Cultural Enrichment Officers are all from a diverse array of races which makes this very, very racist.

Ali Yousif Ahmed, a native of Iraq, is one of the individuals the DOJ says they are taking action against. Ahmed came to the U.S. in 2009, claiming his family was attacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Ten years later, Iraq asked the U.S. to extradite Ahmed to Iraq, claiming he was facing criminal charges for the premeditated murder of two Iraqi police officers in 2006.
"Upon further investigation, United States learned that, in 2015, Ahmed illegally procured his naturalization, which warrants his denaturalization, because he lied under oath about his criminal and family history when he sought admission to the United States and naturalized as a U.S. citizen," a document on the denaturalization process and shared with the Caller read.

Khalid Ouazzani, a native of Morocco, applied for U.S. citizenship in 2005 and then again a year later, according to the DOJ. Ouazzani was allegedly "planning--with two men later convicted of trying to bomb the New York Stock exchange--ways to support AlQaida" in 2003. Then after being naturalized, Ouazzani pleaded guilty to sending al-Qaida tens of thousands of dollars with money he had fraudulently obtained Ouazzani also took a pledge of pledge of allegiance in 2008 to al-Qaida.
The DOJ is also looking to strip Baboucarr Mboob, a native of Gambia, of his naturalization, claiming he was involved in war crimes, the Caller learned. Mboob was a military police officer in the Gambian army and participated in the execution of six officers following the orders from his commanding officer who believed were victims in plotting a counter-coup against then President Yahya Jammeh, according to the DOJ.
Mboob concealed his involvement in the war crimes during the naturalization process, but later admitted to executing his fellow officers, the DOJ told the Caller.

Say, Ilhan "Omar's" father is a war criminal and genocidal warlord, isn't he?

Meanwhile, a Cultural Enrichment Officer who thinks you're a racist and are not accepting enough of her and her culture organized a "Muslims Only" day at a waterpark.

Hmm, does that mean we can arrange a No-Muslims Day?

No, right?

Oh did I mention the waterpark in question is taxpayer funded?

A "Muslim only" event at a taxpayer-funded Texas water park has been canceled following criticism and threats by Gov. Greg Abbott to pull public safety grants.
A local Islamic group had rented out the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark in Grand Prairie for its annual Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) "Epic Eid" celebration on June 1.
Representatives for both the water park and the city of Grand Prairie sent the following statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday evening confirming the event is canceled:
"After further review and in the best interest of the City of Grand Prairie, the June 1 EID event at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark has been canceled."

And did I forget to mention that this Economic Powerhouse Who Built Our Country happens to own her very own "learing center"?

And yes, she spelled it that way.

And while this isn't being reported -- I'm 100% certain that the Excellence Early Learing Center is paid for by government funds.

The head of a Texas Islamic group that rented out a taxpayer-funded waterpark for an event that was advertised as "Muslim only" runs a childhood education center with the exact same unfortunate 'Learing Center' typo first seen at an infamous daycare in Minneapolis.

The "Excellence Early Learing Center," as its misspelled website header reads -- located in the Fort Worth suburb of Hurst -- offers a variety of programs for youngsters from infants to pre-K, and promises to provide children with "the loving, personal care that they need to thrive and feel confident."
The center boasts "multiculturalism, small classroom sizes, healthy eating and a warm, loving environment that feels like home" and staff with degrees in "education, accounting, biology, pharmacology, science, nursing and mathematics from their home countries."
Its owner, head operator and curriculum designer is Aminah Knight, who boasts a master's degree fro the University of Southern California and a doctorate from Vanderbilt University.
Earlier this week, Knight and her DFW Epic Eid organization drew massive criticism for a flyer advertising an event at Epic Waters in Grand Prairie billed as "Muslim only" and requiring modest swimsuits for all attendees.
Epic Waters, a sprawling, 80,000-square-feet indoor waterpark opened in 2017 at a cost of $88 million -- funded by a 0.25% sales tax hike residents approved at the ballot box in 2014.
The FAQ for the third-annual event, which was being held to celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid, initially proclaimed "the entire waterpark has been exclusively reserved for Muslims."

Your Indiana analysis is incorrect. The Senate and I believe also the House have Republican supermajorities. The House is more MAGA, the Senate was already beginning to move in that direction, but with staggered elections in the Senate, it takes longer. Derry (who is in an auto recount) and one other loser made some pretty silly comments which was dumb by them. But over the next few elections the old guard will be gone. Indiana gutted the authority of public health officials after covid. Have struck hard against DEI programs in state Universities, and has state dollars fully following the child in k-12 - including to private (including religious) schools. The redistricting fiasco was caused by some tone deaf Trump comments. Virginia's game put those who disagreed in Indiana in the direct line of fire.

This sounds cool. But wait.

400 diapers will last a family with a newborn approximately five weeks.

The program will cost the state approx. $12.4 million this year alone.

That money will be funneled through a company called Baby2Baby, which will then provide their branded diapers to 400 participating in hospitals (California has over 500 hospitals in total.)

Meaning that instead of lowering taxes and letting families keep their own money to buy essentials like diapers, California takes their money, pumps it through a “nonprofit” that has overhead and whose CEO made $240,000 in 2024, to provide a “free” service available only in certain locations, and that you could have bought yourself for much cheaper.

Nothing's on the up and up with him:

Yes, California Governor Gavin Newsom authorized a massive, almost $1 billion, no-bid contract in April 2020 to purchase hundreds of millions of masks from Chinese automaker BYD. This move was intended to secure personal protective equipment (PPE) during shortages, though it faced scrutiny due to its high cost and lack of transparency.

133 NBC News (12 day ago) DOJ aims to strip citizenship from hundreds of foreign-born Americans, sources say. Federal prosecutors in field offices across the country are working on the effort, a Justice Department official told NBC News.

GOP: “We also want to take away the citizenship of anyone whose skin color we dislike. We just won’t say that part out loud.”

There’s a DHSgovX post on dec 31st showing a beautiful beach with the statement “America after 100 million deported”
So they already said it out loud. https://tinyurl.com/7jraay87

"It’s not clear why the Justice Department has singled out the roughly 300 foreign-born Americans. The New York Times first reported the tally." seems pretty clear this is only just beginning and they're still just testing the waters, where they started slower but are now ramping up to less egregious cases

The phrase "naturalized citizen" is starting to feel a lot more like "citizen on a leash." If the government can just hit CTRL+Z on your status decades later, are you ever actually a peer to someone born here? This is going to create a permanent second class of Americans.

194 The rug is not really the most important thing, but a clean rug and bowing to the ground is sign of humility and respect to God.

It has not passed my notice that most of the strongest players in the political arena are women. Why ? Is it because they've never been punched ? Or they look around and understand that nobody around them will throw one ?

Because that's not how it works on the job-site. And I've long noticed that men who aspire to be managers also conveniently forget that org charts and job titles don't create a force field. Sometimes, you have to remind them.

I seriously wonder, sometimes, if this Third Wave of Feminism is nothing more than young women that have never faced personal danger.

Reform Gains Over 1,300 Seats as Labour Loses Nearly 1,200

And there's still damage to come -- just 117 of the 136 councils have reported so far.

These are council (local) elections, not the general elections for Parliament (the national legislature), which do not have to be scheduled before 2029.

But council members do have power locally -- and these elections are a mighty harbinger of what will come.

The Greens gained 296 seats so far, almost all at Labour's expense.

(Numbers updated at 2:53 pm.)

Labour had controlled Wales for 27 years. Not only did they lose control -- Plaid Cymru won 42 seats, with Reform stomping in for 39 in second -- but even the Labour First Minister for Wales lost her seat in the vote.

Politics UK
@PolitlcsUK
2h
🚨 BREAKING: Welsh Labour First Minister Eluned Morgan has lost her seat in the Senedd
It's the first time in British history that a sitting head of Government has lost re-election to the house they led

The SNP kept control in Scotland, with Reform gaining zero seats, because Scotland is a mess and not worth thinking about. Their Muslim First Minister Hamzi Yusef hates the actual Scottish people and gives fiery speeches denouncing the Scots.

Keir Starmer, noted for his outreach to gay Ukrainian male model prostitutes -- just offering them a bad for the night, that kind of charity -- says that he's not stepping aside... sort of. What he actually said was that he would not walk away and "leave the party in disorder," which means, I'm pretty sure, that as soon as the party agrees on a successor, he will step down. He just doesn't want a big fight for control.

Astute post from Maxi@AllForProgress on X. Applies to the US too.
"There are the usual notes on procedure. People like my parents, Britain's ultimate swing voter category, were buried with doorknockers, and their earnest heartfelt pleas, in the final few weeks of campaigning. An avalanche of appeals after five years of having not a single party representative knocking on their doors, inquiring after them, or following up on their concerns.
There is still no party on the slate that understands that such elections as these are won between campaigns, through diligent attention to voters and relentless follow-up, not with three weeks to go. This, to my mind, is the single greatest predictor of governmental success, and it's a test that none of the current bottle are passing.
Whatever; the cumulative picture is the one we've watched forming for some time. Britain is shopping, rotating through every available political product, trying them on for size, and finding them generally wanting.
The political market is wide open. The next general election will reward whoever spends the intervening period building something vast, intense, and serious. . ."

While the cowardly chattering classes acknowledge the catastrophe, they refuse to address the reasons for it. They resort to gauzy evasions like "The public just wanted a change."

A change from what, exactly?

Or "the public has lost faith in the traditional major parties."

But why has the public lost faith, exactly?

Or they'll claim that Keir Starmer just isn't charismatic. Yes, correct, he's a gray dullard who looks like he'd lose a naked wrestling match to Anderson Cooper*, but... couldn't there be other, more tangible reasons the public has made the longtime former Two Major Establishment Parties of the UK minor parties?

What reasons might explain that, do you think?

Say -- what was Reform's One Single Endlessly Repeated Campaign Promise, anyway? Maybe that could provide a clue to this Mystery.

Even as the establishment faces a reckoning a long time coming, they still pretend away the reason for that reckoning.

That moment was a genuine turning point for me.

10 Now well over 1300 seat gain for REF, LAB down almost 1200, CON down close to 500. Greens only pick up 285 so far with just nineteen councils left, they will underperform due to a bad vote distribution despite being second in the overall national vote haul.

REF wins have tracked with the Brexit 2016 vote, hence their massive swings and hauls in the Old Labour hinterlands up north while doing so-so down south outside of decimating the Tories in their rural strongholds. LAB is done up north, and Andy Burnham had better find a safe seat in London to run in if he wants to be PM for a while, because running in any seat from Liverpool over to Manchester, Birmingham, and all the way over to the erstwhile Labour stronghold of Sunderland is a dicey proposition at best.

These are regularly scheduled local (council) elections.

This does not affect the makeup of Parliament, but it does show the relative strength of the different parties.

Council elections tend to have predictive power because England has relatively few elections and turnout for Council elections are on par with turnout for general elections.

Still a long way until the general (minus a real Labour revolt against Starmer instead of the pussy, feminine backbiting without doing anything that's been going on for 2 years), and I don't think Restore put up much of a slate for the council elections.

43 After Greta's flotilla cleans up the oil in Persia, she should protect the UK from the small boat invaders. I read she had a boyfriend so there's sex involved now, which is about as hideous to think about as Ace's nekkid wrestling of Starmer and Anderson Cooper.

I have found it hard to believe, for over a decade, why the Brit men, on their own, don't pretend to be fishermen and shoot darts into the rafts and let the vermin drown. You know they can't swim as I see them with their life vests.

If they float then run over them with your speed boat.

57 In other interesting news. So many people have wondered why Utah of all places is getting a Democrat seat this fall from their current 4-0 Republican majority. The answer is the judges. The utah legislature has been kicking and screaming trying to prevent this, but the courts literally redistricted Utah using a map drawn up by a Democrat NGO out of Virginia. I'm not aware of any other state in the union that has had their maps drawn up, literally, by a NGO from a totally different state. Even the Voters Rights act had DC government agencies....

In any event, it was upheld by the Utah Supreme Court. Now the judge who wrote the decision is resigning, effective immediately. Why? To "spend time with her family" after the state started investigating her affair with the Democrat lead attorney in the redistricting case. I wish I was making this up. I'm not sorry to see her go; I argued multiple times in front of her and was never all that impressed, though she isn't an idiot like Jackson Brown.

So yes, Utah has a gerrymandered to the hilt Democrat seat, courtesy 100% of lawfare from Democrats. That won't last. I'm not sure Democrats will even win the election this fall.

59 The problem (for Labour) is, no one looks like a ready-made successor to Starmer.

The potential replacements, like Rayner and Burnham, have major problems of their own, and the party is hemorraging support to Reform on the one side and the Greens (and Muslim independents) on the other.

Starmer may continue as PM for a while, not just because of his own addiction to power (though that is a major factor) but because the party has no obvious alternative.

80 Without deportation reform will also fail. Britain has had enough. 100% fed up.

Deport each and every refuge...now. Don't care about the cost, don't care about the humanity, deport today, deport tomorrow, deport for the forceable future. All of them. Every last one that isn't a native-born citizen.

Look, 20 years ago there could be some reasonable accommodations. Exceptions. But they abused every exception, ignored every chance at compromise.

Stop the boats? Easy - pick them up, drive them to fucking Heathrow airport, and stick them on the next plane to wherever they came from. If they burn their documents, stick them in detention until they tell you where they are from. The boats will stop tomorrow - you just changed the risk/reward.

Overall, just stop fucking about.

Look at Trump - he's deported 500,000, and another 2.5 million left voluntarily. Britian could send a couple hundred thousand home, and a couple of million would just leave on their own.

And look, who should you send home? Easy - start with every single immigrant on any sort of public assistance.

If the polls are right (I said *if*, TJM), Reform would have a plurality but not a majority in Parliament if the election occurred today, making a coalition with the Tories necessary.

-------------------------------

We are living through a fake revolt and a real revolt. The fake one is the rallying of student towns, leafy suburbs and digital radicals around the Green Party. Some of these Zack Polanski enthusiasts might have multi-coloured hair and pose for selfies at Marx’s grave in Highgate, but don’t be fooled: they are lining up behind the entirely reactionary cause of identity politics, no more growth, dicks in women’s bathrooms and Islamist grievance. The true revolt is coming from the working classes, who want Britain’s borders repaired, our history respected and democracy to have meaning.

Pick your side: the matcha Marxism of a keffyeh-smothered activist class that doesn’t know what a woman is, or the patient but unflinching plea for a restoration of normalcy being made by the men and women of the Red Wall.

The whole idea of representative government is elected officials are supposed to be afraid of being voted out if they don't do what the voters want and yet throughout the western world at a certain point pols just completely stopped caring about it.

For example, after the '94 midterms Clinton and the dems spent a lot of time talking about how they were going to change what they were doing because the voters had spoken...

160 16 What was Reforms endlessly repeated campaign promise? I hadn't been following. I know a little more about the "Restore " party than about "Reform". Although I know Rupert Lowe pulled out of the Reform Party.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke
=======
Reform aimed at maximizing votes by wanting less taxes, end of Net Zero stupidity, less spending, less immigration.

Restore came about because Farange tried to put Lowe in the frame for criminal charges and expelled Lowe from the party for being anti immigrant. Lowe ended up keeping his seat in Parliament and founded Restore around his MP constituency in Greater Yarmouth. Now, Restore focused all its efforts on that council and came out gangbusters winning all the challenged seats by whopping big majorities.

Lowe figured developing a new party without carefully screening the candidates and moving slowly to actually achieving something was better than running as the alternative to the big parties. Reform is a coalitional party with a lot of upsides and downsides and now has to show it can govern the local councils that it took over. So we shall see. What is clear is that the Tories and Labour have seen their best days in the past.

Similar to algebra in 9th grade I can't be bothered to try to think about it. Altho I did have to take it again in college and still don't care where x is. I don't understand why I had to take it at all or zoology. A mystery.

I use my high IQ for important things like Blake Lively gossip. Or whose facial moles I want to currently remove.

Where is the Rupert guy in Brit politics? And why can't I make him PM? (Other than the obvious that I don't live in the UK or have any power).

Tousi, my current boyfriend, said that illegal nasty migrant barbarians vote once they have "papers." Not legal citizens but allowed to vote. Which makes Brit politics extra retarded. This is a Dim dream that won't happen here (well, it has, but people are aware now).

I'm off to be productive and hope Ace and all have a grand Friday. May the crows be with you all.

222 What matters is accomplishment. Look at Canada - an extremely moderate left wing government is doing very well without running to the progressive wing. It's not working for Labor because Starmer isn't just moderate, he's useless.

It isn't just Labour. The Tories are also taking a hit. The Little Englanders' unhappiness with Brexit is that they don't think that they have had enough Brexit. Hence the shift from the Tories to Reform.

UK is less cynical than America. There is a want for a hopeful future in the UK. Labour haven't presented a vision for it. They are running around chasing votes with no higher plan. People are voting Green and Reform because they have strong visions of future Britain. Both parties know exactly what they want.

The lesson that Progressives and Leftists keep trying to convince Moderate and Conservative Democrats who want to run to the Center-Right to appeal to "non-Trump" Republicans. They'll either hesitantly still vote Far-Right or just sit out.

The lesson should be "Don't import millions of Muslim immigrants when you don't have enough housing for them".

But Labour won't understand what they did wrong.

Farange aimed for power first with Reform rather than ideological consistency with his candidates. My guess is that he did it to take over the Conservative party in a forced merger.

Lowe is the real reformer here and is trying to organically create an ideologically sound party from the ground up and Farange expelled Lowe from the Reform party because Lowe demanded an end to immigration in the UK.

Which is ultimately why all accrediting agencies are going to have to be killed off. The law schools moved left in part due to DEI, in part, due to universities serving as a giant sorting hat kicking the right to the curb.

So less qualified applicants from the Right and even those are selected more for being a survivor of culture wars at uni than ideological warriors.

So the left has come to dominate law schools ideologically as well. The old time liberals gave way to the leftists that are at heart Gramcians.

Not necessarily. The council elections are all the English public has to weigh in on between a Parliamentary GE, so it's a useful barometer of where the public is at. About 25% of the country's population votes in a given year, otherwise, REF could easily be winning 5000 local seats instead of just 1300+ (probably closer to 1400-1500 when the last returns come in, fourteen councils to go). The extrapolated national vote from the Beeb is 26% REF, 18% GRN, 17% each for LAB and CON, and the LDs at 16%. If that happened at the next GE (a lot will change before then, but run with it), REF will be pushing up against a majority of its own:

National Prediction: Reform short 3 of majority

CON 50
GRN 87
LAB 37
LIB 81
Plaid 6
SNP 45
OTH 6
N.Ire. 18
Reform 323

246 But whig many (most?) of the horrendously pernicious "rulings" in US history came not from the the DEI freaks, idiots, and foreigners now on the bench, but from conventional mainstream freaks and idiots (when it comes to their actual duties).

Don't know the state of play on denaturalizations, so can't say, but my impression (ready to be corrected) is that lower courts continue to ignore not just the law (including laws excluding them from jurisdiction - which has to be a new low in judicial lawlessness) but in many cases their superiors in the judiciary.

It's systemic rot, it's not new, it's just even more pernicious than ever due to an executive actually fulfilling their duties and enforcing laws. At least so it seems.

Results are all that matter, I'm not terribly confident the results will be anywhere close to what they should be or won't be erased in a nano-second by the next racist-totalitarian administration, but will gladly take whatever squeaks through for now.

There is one site that seeps ~ 150 BLD, and has been active for 500,000 years. My boss at one time tried to get it under control. He is a brilliant engineer but he failed just like everyone else.

Just a bit of info for reference.

260 227 222 The lesson should be "Don't import millions of Muslim immigrants when you don't have enough housing for them".

But Labour won't understand what they did wrong.

Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions

Many of those 'immigrants' came during the Tory years lest we forget. This is the uniparty in the West--immigrants for cheap labor, bolstering the wealthy via consumption and impoverishing the middle class of existing citizens.

Brad Little (GOP governor and alleged conservative) was caught in Idaho at a private meeting with Big Ag mouthing the same shit--citizens don't want to work, they demand too much, and we should keep and protect the masses of illegal farmworkers so that the big farmers and big Ag can make more bucks.

261 When I read that Sarah Ferguson of the Toe Sucking fetish was apparently with Diddy it made me extra queasy this morning. Disgusting bint. I think they abused their daughters as well at some point.

Something I did not need as I have dealt with various harfing family members since Tuesday pm til 5am today. Son is home now and I am free from advice! I did not mind as this is love.

Not the love is love rainbow gay kind, either. My grands who take up a huge part of my heart needed me as well as DIL. I am a pretty dang great MIL compared to the snarky one I had, patting my own back.

I guess GAINZZ in not eating much! A new diet plan!

When sons and husband got sick this is how I dealt with it: the blahs. Like Seinfeld I can count on one hand the harfings of life. Three viruses, and two from drinking too much in college. I may be a lot of things, but not a harfer or a mean MIL.

These traitors got in bed with the leaders and other assorted ne'erdowells of these countries and sold their own countries and countrymen out.

Many of the illegals that have been let in are the dregs of their respective societies, as Mexico will attest. They don't *work*. So it's not labor. And it's definitely not compassion.

Yes, backroom deals to get rid of him. But if he doesn't want to be got rid of, he stays.

Labour has been in a soft rebellion against him for 2 years. He's had ministers resign trying to set it off.

Only way to get rid of Starmer is vote of no confidence. And since the majority is so big, Labour would have to be part of it.

That requires Starmer agreeing to leave. They've been trying to get him to agree to leave since the riots 2 years ago.

Which I'm saying he won't. So, if the party really wants to get rid of him, they have to go no-confidence.

Off topic, but I looked this up for last thread so I'll post it.

California has a lot of natural oil seeps, that is oil into the ocean. They estimate it accounts for ~120,000 barrels a day, or 5,000,000 gallons per day.

There is one site that seeps ~ 150 BLD, and has been active for 500,000 years. My boss at one time tried to get it under control. He is a brilliant engineer but he failed just like everyone else.

Just a bit of info for reference.

Doesn't help that about every two years the local TV news on the Central CA coast would start caterwauling about tar balls on the beaches, screaming that the Evil Oil Companies were dumping oil in the ocean. Apparently, to be dicks.

Then a few weeks later they'd issue a quiet correction at the end of the 11:00pm evening news "Oh, those tar balls have always been there. They're natural, and the Chumash tribes would use the tar to waterproof their canoes. Our bad."

I remember at least three cycles if not more of this bullshit from the 20 years I lived there.

But that does not reduce my desire to see it.

For the lulz.

Starmer will just go, "Fuck you," to everyone in the party because he knows that any force to get rid of him leads to snap elections which wipes out Labour. He has no incentive to agree to leave. He waits out the bad news cycle and is still king of patronage and policy.

I'm not sorry to see her go; I argued multiple times in front of her and was never all that impressed, though she isn't an idiot like Jackson Brown.

You'll laugh at my reasoning for why this is happening. Puppies...doggos.

Muslims were complaining that they didn't feel safe visiting or living in northern UK because many of the current residents have dogs that don't require a leash. They're pets and farm dogs.

So, the local municipalities started trying to push restrictions on pet ownership and leash laws on personal property. Don't mess with a Brits dog. Additionally, they held events to entice Muslims into that area, and they left the area covered in trash and filth. That resonated with the generational occupants.

The tribunal restored his visa under immigration minister Tony Burke's Direction 110, which this year alone has been used to prevent the deportations of a a Chinese wife-killer, an Ethiopian rapist, an obese homosexual Indian paedophile, an Iranian drug smuggler, a killer Sri Lankan driver, and a Sudanese refugee who was jailed over the fatal stabbing of an Australian teenager.

You kinda used to, but these days there is a 5 year term where an election must be held before. You can call it early if you think you can do better now rather than at the end of term and the clock resets.

PM can be voted out of power internally by his own party. Or forced to resign first, which is how Churchill got in over Chamberlain in WWII.

29 Truth Social:

I am pleased to announce that there will be a THREE DAY CEASEFIRE (May 9th, 10th, and 11th) in the War between Russia and Ukraine. The Celebration in Russia is for Victory Day but, likewise, in Ukraine, because they were also a big part and factor of World War II. This Ceasefire will include a suspension of all kinetic activity, and also a prison swap of 1,000 prisoners from each Country. This request was made directly by me, and I very much appreciate its agreement by President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War. Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The same applies to any "street protest" in Iran. Standing around yelling only makes you a target. I'm hoping the US has been clandestinely dropping small arms and ammo all over the country, so the anti-regime people can actually do something useful.

108 AI: Related to oil spill recovery boats (which we do now have)...

"Oil spill recovery boats and mechanical skimming systems typically recover only a small fraction of large offshore spills, often less than 10-15%. While 10–30% is a traditional "rule of thumb" estimate, studies suggest real-world, large-scale mechanical recovery is often only 2–6%.

Posted by: Cray Cray

essentially, useless. volatiles evaporate and the stuff on the surface gets with the water as an emulsion. Some heavy stuff even sinks.

It can be scooped out, centrifuged (I think that is what they do) to separate. and used as,... I don't know what. No one would want it.

But in M. E. where oil spurts out of the ground, any recovery would cost 100x the value of the oil. and even then at best you have bunker fuel or asphalt. What goes into the sea, stays in the sea.

Oil spills aren't great for the water, and they do temporarily kill a lot of fish and wildlife. But the oil itself is eventually broken down and consumed by bacteria. If this didn't happen, the world's oceans would be covered in oil from billions of years of volcanic and oil eruptions.

183 Are there even ducks in the Persian Gulf?
Posted by: Chairman LMAO at May 08, 2026 02:28 PM (cWLG3)

AI sez -

Waterfowl typically migrate to the Persian Gulf during the winter months, taking advantage of the region's milder climate and rich food resources. This migration is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to escape harsher conditions in their breeding grounds.

Understanding the waterfowl species and their habitats in the Persian Gulf is vital for conservation efforts and maintaining biodiversity in the region.

--------------

so it sounds like they may be moving out of the region about now and miss the pollution.

The Iranian people rising is not a matter of concern for us, or at least it shouldn't be.

1.) It seems highly unlikely to happen, without direct involvement on the ground by us.

2.) If it does, it's highly likely the Islamists among *them* would prevail, not the pro-Western Persian populace of the large cities.

3.) Even if, against the odds, our friendlies did pull out a win, they would immediately and permanently be at war with the Islamists, until they got toppled.

I sincerely hope we can wash our hands of Iran before getting caught in that shitstorm.

231 This is a terrible story out of Tremonton, UT. It's a small town in northern UT with a population of around 13,000. Last September, the 11 year old hanged himself. The town came together to help them out. They painted their house, did yard work, brought over meals, raised money, etc.

These past few months the police have been investigating the parents due to many inconsistencies in their story and the fact that several neighbors have reported the family for neglect and abuse. The police just arrested the father on suspicion of murdering the 11 year old boy, Moroni.

I have family there. This is the same town where a man killed two police officers last August. Even small town Utah is no refuge from the world.

267 In spite of the victories in Virginia and elsewhere, I just read a naysayer saying we will still lose the mid-terms in the blog I read once a week.

Why I check there to see if there are normal people returning I don't know. I need to stop as it makes me want to argue and yell and stab and not good for an optimist.

I honestly don't understand doom people. It's like they hedge their bets on depression. I guess so they can say, "I told you so!" Not a great way to live.

I accidently called my neurotic SIL yesterday, which was pretty funny as I was trying to call my husband (who was downstairs but I didn't feel like finding him or yelling...this house is soundproof anyway). Apparently I did was not careful in the selection of numbers. I was super nice to her, which surprised even me. She's a gloom and doom caster as well. I did good this week with her and juggling puking grands and DIL up the mountain in the middle of the night.

Also am organizing by ordering organizers from Amazon for one closet I hate.

This concludes my productivity for the week. I will garden today and someday love the dahlias and whatever comes up.

This has been an odd week but a great Friday so far!

No, it won't burn on its own. There are ways, involving creating a big wick, but making sure the wicking material floats, doesn't absorb water, only oil, and getting it hot enough.in the first place make it extremely unlikely that it could be burned.

Virginia Supreme Court tosses Dem-backed redistricting map, upending expected 10--1 edge

Republicans in Virginia celebrate a circuit court ruling that the Democrat-led redistricting map was unconstitutional. Salena Zito, a Pittsburgh-based columnist, joined 'Fox & Friends First' to react.
The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday invalidated a new, voter-approved redistricting map, delivering a significant victory for Republicans in the state ahead of the fast-approaching 2026 midterm elections.
"We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia," the Virginia Supreme Court said in the ruling. "This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy."

lol lol lol lol. Lol? Lol lol lol lol: lol.

The Virginia Supreme Court heard oral arguments last month over the newly passed congressional map, which voters in the state approved by a narrow 51% to 49% margin.
The ballot measure would have given the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature -- rather than the state's current nonpartisan commission -- temporary redistricting power through 2030.
It was also expected to yield a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge.

This is why I've been saying the 2026 election was actually rather low stakes.

In terms of policy, there'd be almost no change with Dems taking the House (they have no chance of taking the Senate).

We'd get impeachment theater that goes nowhere for 2 years and pretty much nothing else (ICE being fully funded for enforcement through 2028 and the rest of DHS going to be also fully funded like that with the new reconciliation bill will help that along).

62 Astute post from Maxi@AllForProgress on X. Applies to the US too.

"There are the usual notes on procedure. People like my parents, Britain's ultimate swing voter category, were buried with doorknockers, and their earnest heartfelt pleas, in the final few weeks of campaigning. An avalanche of appeals after five years of having not a single party representative knocking on their doors, inquiring after them, or following up on their concerns.

There is still no party on the slate that understands that such elections as these are won between campaigns, through diligent attention to voters and relentless follow-up, not with three weeks to go. This, to my mind, is the single greatest predictor of governmental success, and it's a test that none of the current bottle are passing.

Whatever; the cumulative picture is the one we've watched forming for some time. Britain is shopping, rotating through every available political product, trying them on for size, and finding them generally wanting.

The political market is wide open. The next general election will reward whoever spends the intervening period building something vast, intense, and serious. . ."

100 This is why I've been saying the 2026 election was actually rather low stakes.

In terms of policy, there'd be almost no change with Dems taking the House (they have no chance of taking the Senate).

We'd get impeachment theater that goes nowhere for 2 years and pretty much nothing else (ICE being fully funded for enforcement through 2028 and the rest of DHS going to be also fully funded like that with the new reconciliation bill will help that along).
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
======
It matters. Mostly regular procedure in 2026 in budgeting. Doing that again this biennial term means it becomes reestablished more and returns more power to the members than leadership staffs.

It also means fewer and fewer McConnell acolytes in the Senate. Cornyn is likely gone, Cassidy appears to be so. Mitch gone. And Murcow is facing the electorate in 2028, possibly without Ranked Choice voting to save her ass this time.

The massive fraud investigations must continue and that is the heart of corruption that is bankrupting the US. Keeping the Senate while neutering GOPe types helps make sure of that.

The wording of the referendum and the violation of the requirements to show the proposed map, etc, were submitted as a second case. It's now mooted because of this ruling. Agree though that it was on their minds. People at work have been thinking SCOVA would have rather ruled on this particular technical issue than wade into how a referendum is written.

Two schools of thought. The first is that they simply got greedy. The second is that they tanked this so intentionally so they knew it would get overturned and have a talking point about political courts disenfranchising people's votes so they could fire up the base for midterms.

They didn't start panicking last year and pushing this til other states had started the process changing their electoral districts (remember, VA voters had voted in a "we are gonna have fair distrcits" amendment, just back in 2020). By then, VA had started early voting for the 2025 state elections b/c thanks to Ds, we have one of the earliest and longest voting period for elections.

It either started with Biden's DOJ suing Texas over its maps or Hochul doing the mid-decade redistricting a couple of years ago.

What really set off the rush was Newsom making Texas' new map about himself which led to the reprisals and escalations. The left could have stopped when Indiana stopped their process, but VA just went full lobster.

And now the state level GOPs have an example of what happens when they appease the left on the issue and VA doesn't have a new map.

Posted by: JTSmith

Court majority based its ruling on the fact that voting had already begun so there could not be the intervening election required by the VA Constitution. There, one proposes an amendment to the Constitution, has to wait an general election before then allowing the public to vote upon it. VA Dems pushed through the referendum last fall DURING the voting for VA state general election so there could not be another intervening general election before passage.

The Dems claimed that it was okay because the 2025 general election day for counting votes had not yet occurred when the special session voted the referendum--thus they would not have to wait until 2027 general election for the referendum to pass. It could be done now.

Since the referendum was unconstitutional on that basis alone, no need to get into other issues.

Certainly.

Also another factor that they ignored. Virginia has always had a very uneasy balance between Northern VA (Fairfax, Arlington, etc) and the rest of the state. For decades it's been an issue. Having something like this referendum shut out all of the rest of the state creates serious stress to that balance. Carpetbaggers don't appreciate it at all.

Virginia’s growth rate has significantly slowed. NOVA is losing population and the gains are being made outside Fairfax and Arlington. One of the main factors maintaining population are illegal immigrants who don’t legally vote.

There’s already scrutiny of the governors race and the referendum vote integrity.

It was critical this get done now, before all those factors converge. It’s why they rushed it unconstitutionally, and counted on the court to save them.

Two years of an unimpressive Republican majority, even if they drag their feet on Trump's agenda, is 1,000 times better than 2 years of a Dem majority.

With endless impeachment theater, hearings on every single phony, made-up scandal, and constant votes on issues favorable to the left.

And Johnson has proven himself several times that, even with 4 seats, he will pass Trump's "must-pass."

204 Oddbob, yes, they were in too big a hurry.
According to the state constitution, any amendment to same must be passed by two successive GAs with an election in between, before going to the voters.

This amendment was raised during a special session at the end of Youngkin's term, that was raised to reconcile the budget.
That's significant, because any business raised in a session NOT having to do with the reason for which it was convened must pass by a supermajority.

A week before the election of spamburglar, the redistricting passed on a simple majority is special session.

They counted that as first GA passage.

A couple months later, when spam and the new GA were sworn in, they immediately passed it again, right before early voting on it began--which didn't meet 90-day notice for special elections.

The whole thing was crap that should be burned in a fire.

220 The Senate is not in play at all.

Dems would have to win NC (50/50), ME ( Platner? HA!), Texas (HA!), and one other, all while holding onto GA (Fulton is being investigated so Ossoff is a darkhorse for losing), and MI (nominating El-Sayed makes it a toss up at least).

And the DOJ won't slow down because of anything Congress does, so real investigations continue no matter what.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

You gotta have the footsoldiers as local DA's to run the investigations. And a GOP Senate Judiciary that insists on following blue slip policies allowing Dems to prevent any local DAs and district judges being appointed is key to keeping the fraud alive.

Until we have the actual candidates and see how they run, any conclusions on Senate races almost rely on a 53 seat GOP or higher because of the Murkowski, Collins, Thune, and whoever is next from McConnell's acolytes. Lose one or two GOP seats in 2026, McConnell's acolytes run the chamber.

I think it was because SCOVA doesn't rule until after elections as a matter of course and precedent. It views an election as part of the legislative process where it's inappropriate to get involved. Same reasoning that the Court can't rule a bill unconstitutional before it's signed into law.

Youngkin did a Schwarzenegger. Arnold ran as a reformer in California but could not get any state legislative seats and win the referendums to get any of his policies in place. So he sat on his ass and let the Dems run the state in his place after his first defeats. Youngkin did something similar after he lost big in the state legislative races in 2023. Last two years were mainly cruising.

VA GOP has been dysfunctional for a long time like some other places like GA GOP or even Indiana. They win races by diminishing margins but keep the corporate spice flowing until the GOP loses control of the state. They refuse to do anything for their base voters, only donors. So the party base shrinks over time to indifference to the state GOP rather than something to vote for.

I had a piece of hardware that came out of Canada several years ago. Let's call it a "java encoder." It shipped from the source via UPS, where it was routed to the states, then flagged by Customs and never delivered. It was confiscated.

I reached out to the shipper and advised the issue and they sent another one, via Canadian Post which transferred to USPS. I received it 7 days later.

Dunno. I think a lot of that fundraising was bogus ActBlue channelling of illegal contributions. Plus the leftward lurch of Democrats in places like NYC, Chicago, and the California/Washington wealth taxes is giving the Democrat corporatist whale donor class heebie jeebies.

The problem for the donor class for Dems is that they may like the anything goes on social legislation but start in on wealth taxes--that affects them personally as they have to leave the jurisdiction in order to keep their money.

California's coming referendum caused Sergei Brin to come out as a Republican after browbeating Newsom at some soiree over the wealth tax referendum.

Fundraising has not been going that well for Democrats this cycle and the ActBlue investigations are putting a chill in trying to further new criminal acts there. The truth is with computer designed districts, unless there are huge political events like the Iranians nuking someone or a massive 2008 financial meltdown this September, this is more like Clinton's last midterm in 1998 rather than 2018, 2010, or even 2006.

Status quo election. Donors may pass on this go around and aim more at 2028 because that is critical for the Dems because of control during the 2030 Census and deportation of their illegal alien friendz.

Dems need a trifecta in 2028 to jam through their program of packing the Courts, running the Census, and amnesty/open borders again before the clock runs out on them.

342 When the Republicans tried to stop the election before it was held, on the basis of the Democrats violating the State Constitution, the Democrats argued that the Court should let the election go forward first and rule on the constitutionality after the election was held. The Court bought that argument, only to have the Democrats come back and, with unmitigated gall, argue that since the referendum had passed, the Court shouldn't invalidate it. If you read the opinion, the Court was obviously offended by the brazen dishonesty of this bait and switch argument. The Dems were going to lose anyway because they so obviously violated the law, but they have reduced their credibility to zero with this ridiculous argument.

Posted by: Oddbob at May 08, 2026 12:57 PM (vTZFs)

Yeah. From what I understand they squeezed this in during a session called for another purpose, and they used a partisan group to write the district, which is not allowed, and they neglected the provision to have an intervening election before the change takes effect. A bit too much to swallow for enough judges.

Posted by: LASue

The rest of the state GOPs are not as feckless as West Coast GOPe. GOPe in WA, OR, and CA are basically Stockholm syndrome that sympathize with their Dem oppressors.

Most of this dysfunction is driven by the big party donors that want things that the base voters don't want. Like open borders for cheap labor, government spending fraud to boost real estate development prices and large retailers, free trade so that the GOPe types can sell out American assets or outsource labor to places like India, endless corporate tax breaks, etc.

And those donors are embedded in state political organizations like ticks--they make sure the state parties obey their interests--the state parties in turn then make sure their package of political consultants for candidates (complete finance, campaign, and legal compliance teams) do what the big donors want.

This has flown under the radar but Brad Little, governor of Idaho, is in trouble because a recording of his meeting with Big Ag in his state shows he aims to protect their illegal labor.

His post drew thousands of likes and an flood of warm offers from American fans, including home stays, meals, and tours from Texas families, Pittsburgh golf outings, Louisiana Cajun food, and more, with Robinson calling his direct messages 'insane' and expressing deep gratitude.

The Gutting of the Tories was Last election - partially self inflicted when they conspired against Reform to keep their national government seats down. But many voters specifically voted to punish the Tories. And a lot of Tories did go to Reform already, which is why Restore is getting such growth, they suspect a watering down is happening. Last election Labor had fewer votes than the election before but won tons of seats due to the collusion and Tory defections.

So your "analysis" based on all the "new information" that I'm ignoring is that Oregon is now in play for Republicans? That doesn't seem very sober.

along with the Fulton County investigation

That's good. Of course, if successful it amounts only to reclaiming a firmly GOP state for the GOP. It's necessary but not at all sufficient. The GOP has to be able to retain the Blue wall states Trump picked up. As far as I know, there's no evidence that Vance, Rubio, or anyone else is likely to do that.

THE MORNING RANT: School Board and Down Ballot Races Are the Most Important Races You Can Vote in this Cycle

It’s election season, and the most important political races in the country aren’t the ones we’re discussing at national political sites such as Ace of Spades. No, the most important races are the down-ballot state and local races. These elections suffer from terribly low voter interest, yet they impact how your community is governed and what is being taught in your schools.

Those down-ballot races also give ambitious politicians the first step up their political career ladder. In deep red states, this is where RINOs get their first victories, and soon they have incumbency and name recognition propelling them upward. Puzzled conservatives eventually scratch their heads and ask how did a Democrat-aligned “Republican” like John Cornyn or Bill Cassidy ever win statewide office in a red state? The answer is that they started way down the ballot and worked their way up over the years. The best time to defeat RINOs is before they start their political climb, but that means voting for actual conservatives in local elections.

School board elections, which are often “non-partisan” are also critical. If you don’t like your child being taught that the U.S. is evil and that children can change their genders, then it’s imperative to vote in school board races. Low turnout is the left’s friend.

For example, a conservative backlash in recent years to woke public schools propelled conservatives to a school board majority in the Grapevine-Colleyville School District in suburban Dallas. But in last week’s school board election, there was decreased turnout. Conservative incumbents were defeated by candidates committed to restoring the left-wing agenda in local schools.

“Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board sees major shift as incumbents lose seats” [NBC DFW – 5/04/2026]

Two Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board members backed by conservative PAC Patriot Mobile were among three incumbents voted out Saturday in a sweeping change for a district already facing major decisions. The results mean the far-right conservative group no longer has a majority on the GCISD Board of Trustees.

Barely 11,000 votes were cast out of 90,000 registered voters, representing a 12% turnout. The conservatives lost by a 52/48 margin, each losing by less than 500 votes. If the 79,000 non-voters have any complaints about the left’s woke agenda, they forsook the most important place to stop it – their local schools.

Sometimes a little research is necessary to vet the candidates, but a few minutes researching a race is time better spent on politics than watching cable news. There’s also a pretty easy shortcut to determine who are the actual conservatives in down ballot races - watch the yard sign people. The neighbor who proudly puts out Trump signs, or who currently has a Paxton sign in his yard, can probably be trusted to also have yard signs of the real conservatives in local races. (I’m aware that this is more of a challenge in deep blue areas, since putting out a Republican yard sign can be an invitation to vandalism.)

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Price Gouging, Now Personalized Thanks to Surveillance Pricing and Collusion” discusses how corporations damage consumer faith in free markets when corporate executives green light unethical behavior such as price fixing among competitors, and with surveillance pricing (in which consumers are charged based on their internet browsing history.)

As reported by CNBC based on documents released by the California Attorney General, Amazon would send links to its vendors showing competitors (such as Wal Mart and Home depot) undercutting Amazon’s pricing. If the vendor did not pressure the competitor to raise the price being charged to consumers, Amazon would throttle visibility on its web site for the vendor’s products.

This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Truth. Our heavily conservative small rural Northern AZ city (of 40,000+) has had its Mayor and City Council taken over last year 6-1 by carpetbagging Califzuelan NIMBY No-Growth Commies with the help of millions of dollars of outside money (mostly out-of-state and Maricopa County Lefty billionaires and political PACs).

Our county is the most conservative in AZ, voting around 70% Republican with over 80% turnout in most state-wide elections ... but hardly any run for office and election turnout for off-year city elections is underwhelming. Ugh ...

The school budget is astronomical and 59 jobs were cut while the administrators got a raise. The administration has grown bigly over the years and that is the cost leader. Like colleges with deans for everything.

Posted by: Boss Moss at May 08, 2026 11:20 AM (g6DiO)
_________

Federal district courts cannot overrule a state supreme court on issues relating to interpreting state law or the state constitution. The state supreme court is the final word on interpretations of state law. As this redistricting was found unlawful under the state constitution, that is the end of the matter.

There's a wrinkle in that state courts can't interpret state law in a way that conflicts with federal law. For example, a state court can't rule that it's totally OK under state law to discriminate based on race. That violates federal protections against discrimination.

But I don't see anything like that here. I think the case is over, and we won big.

Everyone is loyal, patriotic, and a proud supporter of the MAGA agenda, right up until they're elected. Then they're working to ensure Democrat victories and Republican defeats.

We elected an overwhelming Republican majority to the state legislature in Austin. Republican officials responded by giving half of the committee chairmanships to the Democrat Party. They are all John Cornyn on the inside. Soft handed, soft heads, corrupt, useless, too stupid to accurately describe.

102 Speaking of movies, I watched the Anaconda remake last night. It was ... very meh. How do you screw up an Anaconda film? Well, they did.

The remake is a mish-mash of tones and genres and none work well. It's comedy that isn't funny, a monster horror movie that's not horrible or scary, and a middle-aged buddy flick that doesn't work. Add in some sus cringe scenes and you have an unappealing movie.

Plus, the giant snake looks like shit, and seems to change size and appearance throughout the movie. I was thinking that there were actually two snakes, and that would be revealed at the end. Nah -- just shitty effects.

The most shocking thing about the movie was how terrible all the actors look. Jack Black is a fat slob -- he's gotta be 100 pounds heavier than his previous chubby self. Paul Rudd has got some weird botox going on. And the usually sexy Thandie Newton is frumpy, dowdy, and almost unrecognizable. What idiot did her hair and makeup like that??

Well, it's what happens when you do, "Anything anti-Trump is good" for a decade.

It did lead the GOP to going towards Trump, though, when we were pretty much no more than "Anything anti-Obama is good."

We just got lucky that Trump, the loud-mouthed real-estate mogul and reality star from NYC, was actually interested in the welfare of our country and the Democrats and GOPe worked together to promote him in the primary because they thought he'd be easy to beat with Hillary.

I'm not sure the Democrats can get equally lucky.

There’s also a pretty easy shortcut to determine who are the actual conservatives in down ballot races - watch the yard sign people. The neighbor who proudly puts out Trump signs, or who currently has a Paxton sign in his yard, can probably be trusted to also have yard signs of the real conservatives in local races. (I’m aware that this is more of a challenge in deep blue areas, since putting out a Republican yard sign can be an invitation to vandalism.)

Yard signs tell you where to find sources of Long Pig during the coming Donk commie cocksucker colander-facemask apockeyclips.

The winners will have to immediately sell them back to the production company before they even leave the studio, and the production company can use them all over again.

Well, the vast majority are Hispanic, and most Hispanics consider themselves white like Italians do, so the integration from that is going to be quick.

The rest are fairly small overall in terms of population while their legal options are being cut off (H1-Bs are not getting green cards anymore) and no more are coming in.

All while the next standardbearer (Vance) is more anti-immigrant than Trump.

It's going to take time, but a lot of the foreign influence is going to be pushed out and choose to leave on their own.

Oldest got to start catcher and played the entire game. And his pop to pop times and accuracy kept them from attempting stolen bases too casually, while he went two for three including a 2RBI single, and numerous stolen bases.

Our pitcher pitched the entire game (he's a beast who's even got a decent knuckleball) and got a HR single in the first inning that set the pace for the entire game.

And his victories at New Carthage and Zama were brilliant (less so at Zama because the result was not really in doubt) and yet Hannibal is the one talked about.

The Romans were... odd. They took defeats in a strange way. I would not be surprised to learn that they inflated the casualty figures at Cannae in order to make the defeat worse. It is like they were spurred on and energized by getting beaten and it just pissed them off more. They were pretty unique in the ancient world for that alone, as most other cultures tried to go with a 'ever victorious' narrative.

That said watching an Olerud grand slam send him to the showers during a late season Mets collapse that for once was not to be, remains one of the most fun times I've had at a game.

I am trying to get little to appreciate and enjoy the many games within the game that can be had, even with a loss or a losing season.

We got hosed by the townies setting themselves up with the dream team, while we get no coaching help and a lot of 1st years and ADD cases.

So even though we arguably have the best pitchers in the league I have seen thus far, it is a struggle to keep the kids' heads up.

GM is a great inspiration as to how much thought he put into his study of batters, pitch sequences, etc.

It unlocks a whole realm for little to enjoy striking out batters by trying to read them and considering his pitch sequences. So much fun to watch, too.

You know one thing that people overlook is how much of lemmings or sheep most people are. It is the videos from the Bee of Californians moving to Texas.

One reason people in blue enclaves (or how the internet works) get more and more left is that they are reinforced by their environment. Moving to red states takes them out of that bubble. Most people go with the flow. Sure there are exceptions, but most conform to their peer group that they interact with.

The Romans were... odd. They took defeats in a strange way. I would not be surprised to learn that they inflated the casualty figures at Cannae in order to make the defeat worse. It is like they were spurred on and energized by getting beaten and it just pissed them off more. They were pretty unique in the ancient world for that alone, as most other cultures tried to go with a 'ever victorious' narrative.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at May 08, 2026 12:13 PM (bss/y)

Very US Grant in that regard. During the Overland Campaign, Grant lost most of the battles (some of them horrifically like The Wilderness or Cold Harbor), but every time he lost, he kept the Army moving forward or maneuvering on Lee rather than pulling back to lick his wounds. Even with the horrific Northern casualties, the Army's morale was fairly high through the whole campaign, because troops throughout history have hated to retreat.

As to the Romans, it shows the difference between an army of soldiers vs an army of warriors. Soldiers will grind out a victorious campaign, but warriors only last as long as they have a string of victories to enhance their personal honor.

It is easy to talk about this shit NOW, but mentioning the treatment of the J6 guys or that the election was stolen or that the censorship was wrong was HARD THEN. THAT is when we needed these assholes to step up, and very very few of them did.

That is NOT where Grapevine-Colleyville is. It sits on the Fort Worth side of DFW airport. Now, there are a lot of Dallas folks who moved out there, but it is NOT a suburb of Dallas. It's in Tarrant County, not Dallas County. Garland and Irving are suburbs of Dallas.

In 5 years of living there before leaving home (Dad still lives there), I only went to Dallas on rare occasions. Everything I wanted and associated with were in/around Fort Worth/Tarrant County.
Posted by: GWB at May 08, 2026 12:33 PM (P35BA)

It's always frustrated me that Dallas gets so much more pub than Ft. Worth. Dallas is a shithole and Ft. Worth is a much better city.

I must start doing better with the "where are you from" question by answering "the Ft. Worth/Dallas area."

Or just omitting Dallas altogether.

If the 79,000 non-voters have any complaints about the left’s woke agenda, they forsook the most important place to stop it – their local schools.

35 Well, judge looked down, gave me forty days
Instead of the fine that I could not pay
Said "Walk right, you'll soon be home
Cross the line, you'll be on your own"

Forty days of shotguns and barbed wire fences
Forty nights to sit and listen
To the midnight train to Memphis. . .

104 I wouldn't hang a Benton painting but I enjoy looking at them. It's fun to see what is included and how the people are posed. This one was requested by Tex Ritter to show te many influences of country music from church/gospel, to cowboys to square dancing and more. The people are dressed for each type with the bare dulcimer player for at home music, the women in bonnets for the church choir, the cowboy with his single guitar, the banjo player might be a (former?) slave, the fiddlers in overalls and the dancers in 'country best', etc. The steam boat, telegraph poles and steam locomotive help set the sense of time. And it is all bright but not garish, light with a sense of enjoyment and life and movement.

It's a wonderfully effective painting.

135 In Kansas City you can visit Benton's house and studio. He had a unique way of working on his Cinerama-style murals: he'd make a shadow box, using chicken wire and papier-mache to mock up all the figures, so that he could watch how their perspective size and angles changed as the viewpoint moved. Lot of work. He didn't usually save them after the painting, but there are a few. He was a folk musician, as well. Made albums.

Both he and Grant Wood worked on Navy dazzle paint schemes in WWI. I tried to make a little something of that, but the pretty-well-grounded art major docent was sure they'd both completed a lot of old school classical training before the drafting experience with Large Ships.

It was very representative of the history of the music that was brought from Europe and Africa ,passed down and then reworked into the classics and long forgotten tunes of today. The Carter family patriarch drove hundreds of miles visiting the people living in the hills to gather songs, write them down, and then record them. Such as Will the circle be Unbroken. That documentary was fascinating and very educational for country music lovers.

214 Jeff Foxworthy closed the CMAs years ago with this:

"I started thinking about why I like country music and doing this show so much, and here's what I came up with, y'all.

"I like country music because it's about the things in life that really matter. It ain't about braggin' about how you're gonna mess somebody up, or how somebody ain't respectin' ya. It's about love, family, friends -- with a few beers, a cheap woman and a two-timin' man thrown in for spice. It doesn't take political sides, even with things as ugly as war. Instead, it celebrates the brave men and women who go to fight 'em, the price they pay to do it and the longin' we have for them to return home to the ones that they love.

"It's about kids and how there ain't nothin' like 'em. I get tired of hearin' about how bad kids are today, because there are a lot of great kids out there that just need somebody to love 'em and believe in 'em. Country folks love their kids and they will jack you up if you try to mess with 'em! ---

"People in country music don't forget the people that allow them to do what they do for a livin'. They sign autographs and they take pictures with the fans because they know without 'em most of us entertainers would be gettin' a lot dirtier in the course of our workday. We are thankful that people want to hear the songs and the jokes that we write. Country music doesn't have to be politically correct. We sing about God because we believe in Him. We are not trying to offend anybody, but the evidence that we have seen of Him in our small little lives trumps your opinion about whether or not He exists.

"We love country music because it touches us where we live. It's about mommas, and when they were hot, and when they are unappreciated, and when they were dyin'. It's about daddies and the difficulties they have sometimes at tellin' the people that they work so hard to protect and provide for how they feel about 'em.

"Country music is about new love and it's about old love. It's about gettin' drunk and gettin' sober. It's about leavin' and it's about comin' home. It's real music sung by real people for real people, the people that make up the backbone of this country."

Their main holding was it violated the VA requirement of having an intervening election between the 1st and 2nd legislative passage of the amendment (what I said from the beginning). Early voting bit them in the a$$ on this...

252 The Sources of Country Music
Thomas Hart Benton

Cute with a theme.

Wikiart,in part, In 1973, at the age of 84, Thomas Hart Benton was asked to paint a mural for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. He was encouraged to take on the ambitious project by famous country music singer, Tex Ritter, who suggested that he paint a large visual summary of the roots of country music. The result was The Sources of Country Music (1975), a large multifigure composition that presents five distinct scenes describing the music of ordinary Americans.

The central motif is a barn dance with two fiddlers and a group of square dancers, which represent the dominant music of the American frontier. On the upper left of the painting, three women dressed for Sunday church sing with hymnals in their hands, emphasizing the importance of church music in Protestant America. In front of the church choir, he painted two barefoot mountain women that sing and play the dulcimer – a string instrument associated with the music of the Appalachian region in America. On the right, Benton added an armed cowboy singer strumming his guitar, an homage to Tex Ritter. ...

Reading all suggested.

The Morning Report — 5/ 8/26

Good morning kids. Lots of things happening as you can see by the links, but two in particular are jumping out at me and getting me rather ticked.

First, the fact that this frog-mouthed silt-eating slug is even in this country in the first place let alone holds public office is offensive in the extreme. Given every advantage that only America would and could, as opposed to the repressive third world shithole of Indonesia that she was spawned in, she has blood-libeled and done all she could to stab us in the back and drag us down to the savage Dark Age level of her forbears.

First of all, this congresswoman claims she's concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. That's admirable. I am too and have been for a long time. But it's funny, this humanitarian crisis has been going on for years, and yet, unless I'm missing something, she's only found it in her heart to be concerned about it since Trump and Rubio began taking legitimate steps to put an end to it once and for all.
If you'll recall, Jayapal and Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) traveled to Cuba last month on the taxpayers' dime to "assess the humanitarian situation." The reality is that they took a five-day vacation (or what they called a "congressional delegation") to Cuba to meet with the regime and find new ways to bash Donald Trump. They went in with an agenda and opinions already formed and walked away with those opinions intact and using the same language the regime does about how Trump is hurting them with his sanctions and blockades...
...why in the heck is a sitting member of the U.S. Congress going behind the president's back and colluding with foreign countries in a way that directly goes against the president's current actions and foreign policy? Trump and Rubio are working to pressure the regime so that the Cuban people are finally free. They've also made it incredibly clear that the island nation as it stands with the regime in charge is a threat to the national security of the United States.

But wait, there's more from another anti-American traitor . . and she's not even American literally!, and yet she holds public office?!

“I am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here in this country,” Former Minnesota State Rep. Kaohly Her declared.
Her ran in the 2025 St. Paul mayoral election on a promise to fight ICE and protect illegal aliens. While she lost the election, the usual ‘ranked choice’ shenanigans that elevated Mamdani in New York City, and other urban leftists, put her ahead of Melvin Carter III who was not an illegal.
In her inaugural address, Mayor Kaohly Her described federal immigration enforcement as an “unprecedented incursion that we must meet head on.” She spoke while surrounded by minority female politicians as well as Robert ‘Susan Kimblery’ Sylvester: a former deputy mayor who now claims to be a transgender woman.
This secessionist rhetoric was soon paired with a secessionist ordinance commanding federal law enforcement not to operate on ‘city-owned property’ as if St. Paul had somehow seceded from the United States.

Why are either of these evil filthy skanks not awaiting removal from our nation?! Jayapal deserves to at a minimum be removed from office and prosecuted for her actions along with anyone who aided and abetted her. But grabbing this admitted criminal illegal alien Kaohly and shipping her the hell out of the country is, or should be a snap, for ICE and/or the DOJ?!

And let the rent-a-goon thugs try and stop it.

Yeah, my blood is now at a slow simmer.

Have a great weekend!

25 The first Britain-wide local election results trickled in overnight — and will continue to do so through the day and into the weekend as over 5,000 local races have their votes counted — revealing in its early stages a massive swing to Reform UK. Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the party’s gains so far, and vowed “the best is yet to come” as the vast majority of elections have yet to be counted, and with those on their way being some of the most promising for his party, he said
======================
The UK is doing its usual thrashing about, that's all. Is Reform actually going to do very much? Does not appear so, even though voter anger is riding high, and now many expect Two Tier Queer to lose his job over the weekend.

27 The Fred Fleitz article is not “wrong” per se, but it is very naive. He recommends that the US simply give Iran an ultimatum. Ok so far so good - but the Iranian leadership is going to laugh and tell you to GFY - so what do you do then? You either go back to war or surrender, those are your only real choices.

Because Iran is incapable of responding any other way.

I do not care for the Sunni, or for any brand of Muslim - but I think they are, in fact, far “better” for us than the Shiite faction, who dream of the destruction of the world as part of their faith. Demonstrably so - Pakistan has had nukes for a couple of decades now, and since it’s widely known that the Saudis financed their development and construction, they could have had one or two anytime for the asking. They don’t want them, they understand it would just make them an even bigger target.

The instant the Shiites get their hands on a working nuke, we will know. Because they will use it.

While I am not a fan of "plant based" fake food, it seems to me that this report is fear mongering if compounds which exist on plants are found in foods created from plants.

1. Last I heard, Farage said that Reform wouldn't remove the migrants although Rupert Lowe might have changed his mind, I haven't kept up.
2. These were local elections so the effect will be somewhat limited until they can get a new Parliament - which will probably be led by the Muslim Party after a few more years of Labour at the helm.

68 The National Education Association (NEA) was hit with a federal complaint Monday alleging that it subjected Jewish members to an antisemitic environment, according to a copy of the complaint shared with the Washington Free Beacon.
The complaint, filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , alleges that the nation’s largest teachers’ union allowed activists within the organization to harass Jewish members. At the NEA’s 2025 Representative Assembly—the group’s annual gathering—for instance, the union debated a resolution banning materials from the Anti-Defamation League from appearing in classrooms. During that debate, "delegates aligned with anti-Israel advocacy physically positioned themselves near Jewish Affairs Caucus members, shouted down Jewish participants, and created an atmosphere in which Jewish delegates reasonably feared retaliation and physical harm," the complaint details.

==================
Pratt is doing something really amazing out there in La La Land, and is just blowing up the election with his personality and his brilliant ads. Of course, Bass makes for a practically supine target, but she is really similar in this to Kathy Hochul, but just look at what a great campaign can do, as Pratt is doing, versus what is happening in New York, which is nada.

How Nazi of them. Broadening their ability to arrest peaceful protestors.

They're already doing their violence. This is just targeting potential resistance. Killed unions, led a multi-decade culture war against socialism, fought wars and assassinated communists, brutalized BLM, now it's just trying to smother any other movements in the crib.

The largest and most violent domestic terror group in the US is MAGA. Only one group of domestic terrorists planned a seditious conspiracy and attempted to overthrow the government.

If you're not anti-fascist, doesn't that make you pro-fascist? They’re speedrunning their whole project 2025 playbook.

They know Antifa isn’t an organization. Its an ideology. Now they can label anyone they don't like as a terrorist and throw them in jail/torture them.

On air, he flippantly air quoted “lost kids,” as if it didn’t even happen. But the reality is, his agency was found to be looking the other way while kids were placed in unsafe conditions — likely with criminals — just to win political points.

Minimizing “lost children” to air quotes is awful. Especially considering that these were real kids. And there were a lot of them.

205 Revealingly, when prominent Democrats are reminded that their repeated comparisons of Trump to Hitler and the violence-tinged words they use in their campaigns against him have had the net effect of inspiring attempts to kill him, they don’t back off. They simply double down.

Case in point, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY):

Moments Ago: A visibly agitated Hakeem Jeffries says “I stand by” calling for “maximum warfare” against Republicans.

“You can continue to criticize me for it, I don’t give a damn about your criticism!”

FOX Newz had a segment showing 3 videos. In 2 of them, I'd say a small drone was captured flying to or from someplace. IIRC, drones were marginally important back about 5 years ago... hardly any videos of them flying about, but lots of videos taken "by them."

A lot of what we'll likely see are probably new drone designs being tested. They don't have to adapt to a human pilot, so the ability to change directions in unconventional ways might account for their movements.

So.... no, they're not "real" UFO's. YMMV

Hey, man, you don't talk to Katie. You listen to her. She's enlarged my mind. She's a poet warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes she'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to her, right? And she'll just walk right by you. She won't even notice you. And suddenly she'll grab you, and she'll throw you in a corner, and she'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm... no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, she's... she's a great woman! "I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas."

239 From Farage's experience on the trail : "…one thing that I consistently hear from people, especially from women actually, is ‘please save us’, a sense that society is in rapid decline, law and order, anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, whatever it is, ‘please save us’.

There is a feeling out there that all the values that have mattered to people their whole lives, the kind of country they want their kids and grandkids to live in is very, very severely under threat… we want to turn the country around. We all feel it is heading in the wrong direction on a number of major issues.

Frankly, many people find the society they’re living in unreconsigisable from just a few short years ago. This is stuff of the heart, this is emotive stuff that matters to people."

According to Article VII, Section 6 of the Minnesota Constitution, every person entitled to vote and who is at least 21 years old is eligible for any office elective by the people, provided they have resided in the district for 30 days prior to the election.

This means that voting eligibility is a prerequisite for holding office in Minnesota. The knowledge of her fraudulent immigration status should be enough to get her booted out of the Mayor's job.

Outside of the bluest of blue enclaves like NYC and DC, jury trials tend to go our way. Think of Rittenhouse at the height of BLM.

The bigger problem is grand juries, but this is empaneled in North Florida, not DC. If this grand jury looks at the evidence being gathered and says, "Nah," then the pessimism about the entire American justice system is valid.

However, the pattern has rather regularly been the majority of cases brought outside of the deepest of blue enclaves (and even in the blue enclaves, there was something in NYC that went our way last year though I can't think of it off the top of my head) to jury trials tend to go based more on the evidence than adhering to Current Day Democrat Party needs.

289 The Compromise of 1790

In 1790, the U.S. Congress passed the Residence Act, authorizing President George Washington to choose a site for a 100‑square‑mile federal district on the Potomac River. The goal was to place the capital in a location that would:

Be free from state control, avoiding entanglement with state legislatures and laws FindLaw.

Balance the interests of Northern and Southern states.

The source of the trouble appear to be that Napoleon and Mr Pilkington both played the ace of spades simultaneously.

297 The mayor of a small Georgia town has axed its entire police force for upsetting his wife, who’d previously been accused of creating a “hostile work environment.” Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick shut down the Cohutta Police Department and fired all 10 of its employees earlier this week after officers allegedly made “inappropriate comments” about his spouse on Facebook.

The petty saga erupted late last month when several officers lodged formal complaints about the town’s former clerk, Pam Shinnick — who is also the mayor’s wife — continuing to work for the town despite having been fired.

She was terminated last year for apparently creating a “hostile work environment” in the town of less than 1,000 people — but allegedly still had access to personal and classified information.

"The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place – no clearance required.

But if they really think their problem is Starmer and not the party as a whole...or there are enough Labour who think it's just the process to follow after such a level of council loses...

Still, I adhere to the idea that Starmer has zero shame or self-awareness while also understanding that his own party can't actually force him out without nuking the party as a whole. So, no snap elections.

I just want it. Because it would entertain me, and politics, especially other countries' politics, exists solely to entertain me.

This is obviously Starmer's bet: that Labour would get curb-stomped in a snap national election, and therefore there is zero chance of a "no confidence" vote in Parliament.

On the other side of the equation are Labour ministers who are pretty sure that sticking with Starmer makes the eventual punishment from the voters to the party much worse every single day he stays in office.

Project 2026 refers to multiple distinct initiatives, most commonly used as a label for the Heritage Foundation’s 2026 policy agenda, an extension of Project 2025, despite the think tank stating there is no formal "Project 2026." The policy priorities, released in late 2025, outline a conservative vision focusing on dismantling federal agencies, restricting abortion, eliminating the Department of Education, curbing immigration, and advancing "nuclear family" policies rooted in Christian nationalist ideology.

Restore is probably their best bet, and I think they got no seats at all in the council elections, though I'm not sure if they even put anyone up. I know they have a slate of candidates for a general election, but council is different.

But, of course, and it's probably all about the $$$ because:

>February 11, 2026 Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, joined by Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart and Carlos Giménez, sent a joint letter to the U.S. Departments of the Treasury and Commerce urging immediate action to revoke licenses granted to U.S. companies operating with the Cuban dictatorship.

In the letter, the three Members of Congress raise serious concerns that licenses issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) continue to authorize transactions that provide financial or material benefit to regime-controlled enterprises in Cuba, directly undermining U.S. sanctions law and Congressional intent under the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (LIBERTAD) Act of 1996.

“U.S. law is clear: sanctions exist to deny economic support to the Cuban dictatorship until real democratic change occurs,” said Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar.

356 AI Overview: Kaohly Vang Her, a former Minnesota State Representative and current Mayor of Saint Paul is a naturalized U.S. citizen who came to the U.S. as a Hmong refugee from Laos in the 1970s.

Despite a June 2025 statement during a debate where she claimed her family entered "illegally," she clarified she is a legal citizen.

Following her initial statement, Kaohly Her told Newsweek she has been a citizen for nearly four decades. Her family fled Laos after the Vietnam War, with her father working for the CIA. She initially stated her father fabricated documents to get the family to the U.S. faster, leading to her comment about being "illegal," which was intended to show empathy to undocumented individuals.

Reportedly, as per Wikipedia (yes, I know), her father worked for the U.S. consulate,[8] her uncle was employed by USAID.

Btw, during the Vietnam War, there were over 58,000 U.S. military fatalities and approximately 303,000 wounded, with over 150,000 requiring hospitalization. Total fatalities include roughly 47,434 hostile deaths and over 10,000 non-hostile deaths. More than 75,000 veterans were severely disabled, and 5,283 lost limbs. (AI Overview)

Yes, now I remember. During the 1970s, thousands of refugees arrived in the Philly region from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.

Further, following pressure from Western activists and the Jackson-Vanik amendment, over 150,000 Jews emigrated to Israel & the US between 1971 and 1980, with several thousand settling in the immediate region.

Iranians immigrated primarily under the Immigration & Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act), which abolished national-origin quotas & favored skilled labor and family reunification. Many were students or professionals who entered legally, with roughly 50,000 Iranian students in the U.S. by late 1979.

Daily Tech News 8 May 2026

Top Story

There's a local privilege escalation bug that affects all recent versions of Linux. (Tom's Hardware)

No, not that one, another one. It abuses bugs in three optional kernel modules to give any local user root access.

Good news: It's relatively easy to prevent.

Bad news: It's already out in the wild even though none of the Linux distributions has had a chance to patch it yet. There's a script available that prevents the affected kernel modules from loading that blocks the exploit. Run it once and you're good - unless you depend on one of those modules and you have untrusted local users, in which case you're... Not good.
Also, there's a CPanel exploit making lives miserable, with a patch planned for 12pm EST.

Again, not that one, another one.

At least this one hasn't leaked yet.

Tech News

Motherboard sales are down by 28% because nobody an afford the memory to build a new PC. (Tom's Hardware)

Because they listened to people telling everyone not to panic-buy memory.

I didn't listen.

Now I need to buy a couple or three motherboards for the RAM I already have, and they're cheap and readily available.
A judge has rule that Nvidia's book piracy software was designed to pirate books. (Tom's Hardware)

Like other AI companies, Nvidia downloaded huge numbers of books to feed its ever-hungry models, and now is on the hook for industrial-scale copyright infringement.
Never click on anything. (The Register)

Is the response from Anthropic to the discovery of a one-click exploit if you download untrusted software into Claude Code.

The same bug affects programming tools from Google, Microsoft, and Cursor, so they're not the only idiots in the room.
You stack DRAM when it's DRAM stacking time. (WCCFTech)

Today's contestants are Samsung and SK Hynix, two of the Big Three.
The StarFighter Linux laptop has finally launched. (Liliputing)

I think I reported on this previously. It has a choice of 2560x1600 165Hz or 3840x2400 240Hz 16" displays, Intel or AMD CPUs, up to 64GB of (apparently soldered) RAM, two M.2 slots, two Thunderbolt ports, three regular USB ports, HDMI, microSD, and an audio jack.

Plus a removable webcam module - if you're concerned about privacy, you can unplug it and stick in a drawer, or in a little slot within the laptop where it can't do anything.

And the Four Essential Keys.

Price has unfortunately been hit hard by the memory shortage and ranges from $1900 to $3600 depending on configuration.
In maybe good news, Anthropic has signed a deal with SpaceX (which owns xAI, which owns X) to use the spare capacity in the latter company's datacenter in Memphis, which is, apparently, somehow, all of it. (Ars Technica)

Why good news?

Usage limits on Claude Code (which I use daily for code reviews) have been doubled at no extra cost.

51 Even if a vote of no confidence was called in Westminster, Labour has such a large majority that vote would fail.

Starmer has obviously taken the pulse of his party, and other than some Jeremy Corbyn loyalists who despise him, he believes he still has enough support, for now, to remain Prime Minister.

However, Starmer's position is becoming untenable.

73 One of my mother's cats, "Li'l Bit,"

We had a dog named "Li'l Bit" (Soyara's Little Dream), who was Diva's sister. Sadly, I went out to the kennel one cold morning and found her dead from bloat and torsion. She was still quite young.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at May 08, 2026

I brought the feline Li'l Bit home from the steps of my college library, where someone had left her with a bowl of milk. Our incumbent cat, Rusty, was miffed at first, but within a couple of days they were solid friends. When he passed some years later, Mom said LB went all around the apartment and patio, calling for him.

After my mother's death, I rescued the little cat (then eleven or more) from the apartment. It took her a couple of weeks to adjust to me -- and to my incumbent, Arizona, who disliked all other cats -- but she did, and became my buddy for her last couple of years.

90 We need to replace a server at my employer due to the 12-yr old machine's CPU failing. Replacing it with the same specs (though obviously the newer stuff runs faster) would be....

$75K retail, though going through Dell's "Premier" program cuts it to $25K.

The original server 12 years ago was $6K.

320 GB of RAM is what makes it so stupid expensive now.

Florida Man takes "my pleasure" too far

Central Florida man ‘exposed his genitals’ at Chick-fil-A drive thru, deputies say

A Palm Coast man was arrested after being accused of exposing himself to a minor at a fast-food drive thru last week, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
In a release, deputies said they responded to the incident on April 24 at a Chick-fil-A along State Road 100.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the victim — a minor — who claimed that a customer had “exposed his genitals” to her while she was working at the drive-thru window, the release states.
“The victim told deputies that she was handing the customer his food and saw his exposed genitals with a blueish-green circular object, which she believed to be a sex toy, around his penis,” the release reads.

Dude, really?

AI is asshoe - but this is funny

South Africa Cancels AI Policy After Evidence That It was Partially Written by AI

Last month, South Africa’s Communications minister announced that he had decided to withdraw the country’s national AI policy after discovering that at least 6 of its 67 academic citations turned out to be AI hallucinations, mentioning journal articles that didn’t exist.
“The most plausible explanation is that AI-generated citations were included without proper verification. This should not have happened,” Solly Malatsi said. “This ⁠failure is not a mere technical issue but has compromised the integrity and credibility of the draft policy.”
The National Artificial Intelligence Policy sought to position South Africa as a leader in AI innovation, while attempting to address ethical, social, and ‌economic ⁠challenges, but only managed to embarrass the South African government after media outlets discovered that a significant part of the document had been created by AI.

This is actually not surprising to me. How about you?

DJ Doof - This Date in Music History Edition
from thisdayinmusic.com

On this date 1968: while flying back to the UK after his final show with Bluesology, Elton John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight) devised his stage name. In the cabin, the singer-songwriter asked Bluesology’s horn player, Elton Dean, and lead singer Long John Baldry if he could combine their names for his solo act.

On this date in 1983: Stevie Wonder made his only appearance on the US show Saturday Night Live, where he was the host and musical guest. He played a Stevie Wonder impersonator in a skit with Eddie Murphy and stars in a camera commercial spoof with the tagline, "so simple, even Stevie Wonder can use it."

On this date in 1992: Nigel Preston drummer with The Cult died in London, England aged 32

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young recorded 'Ohio' as a protest song just days after four college students were killed by National Guard troops during a campus protest in 1970. At which university did this tragedy take place?

A tougher one -
A founding member of Roxy Music departed after just two albums to pursue a solo and production career. His experimental synthesizer work defined the band’s early sound, and he went on to produce landmark albums for David Bowie, Talking Heads, and U2. Name him.

I’m reading a great book about Air Force Skyraider pilots operating in Laos in that time period. While a piston prop plane, they were excellent for SAR for downed jet drivers and staying in the air a long time, loitering over an area and dropping nape and CBUs on the bad guys communicating with facc and such. Since the USA wasn’t officially in Laos the pilots didn’t get much credit for the incredible things they did.

155 How my week has gone (so far).

On Tuesday, an hour before taking our 8mo old home, she harfed on me while we watched my dude make dinner. Then proceeded to dry heave as pitiful as anyone can imagine for a sweet baby girl. Both of us changed and then we got her home where she rested on my towel covered shoulder. Her mother arrived with the other two (son out of town, of course), and we got the dose for Zofran and 1.5ml pedialyte and she seemed to recover in minutes from how she was. Then ok on pedialyte, as she was very close to an ED visit and I don't get alarmed about a lot.I don't mess around with babies.

Her grandfather and I felt off last night and achy and yuck. It returned for me this pm. DIL called tonight and was getting sick and told our son to fly home earlier than planned tomorrow. I used to coach her via phone for other viruses so this is not new.I am hoping she takes a Zofran with sips of ginger ale as I directed (DO NOT TAKE WATER IF HARFING).

Other son texted that there was a death in his new wife's family and I provided help for that.

I planted 3 plants in gardens.

This is the sum total of my productivity this week other than making a menu but not cooking.

If anyone quibbles with me tonight I will simply tell them to take a Zofran with ginger ale like a robot from this week. I have never taken Zofran (yet) as I rarely get to the harfing stage of any stinkin' virus.

When boys were small I had 3 patients as my husband fell fast. We traded as I get every cold.

I had the worst stomach virus in history in 1976 before the bicentenniel vacation in Panama City Beach which made me immune (so far). Gave it to brothers.

My one bro I could hear snickering at the noises I was making in our bathroom. The next day it felled him like a tree and he apologized (rare). It was one of those where you don't know if you should sit or stand at the commode.

My dear Dad was worried about me as I was never sick.Asked what was wrong and I told him (I was hallucinating) "diverticulosis" for no reason. He asked if I wanted to go to the ED and I said yais. Then I woke up better as I guess I passed out. At least he cared about me as my mother went to bed and my brother was snickering in his bedroom.

206 Paul Leary, lead guitarist and occasional vocalist with Butthole Surfers, was born today in 1957. They (and he) are best known for the breakout hit "Pepper" off their seventh (!!) studio album Electriclarryland (1997), a testament to persistence. Even if you don't recognize the band or the song title, you would probably recognize its hypnotic mix of spoken-word verses, trip-hoppy chorus, and reverse-playback bridge:

Butthole Surfers - Pepper
https://youtu.be/KRXty8lDUW0

Our image of a band with a hit is frozen in time, while the man goes on. In 2021, Leary released his second solo album in 30 years, and it is.. nothing like "Pepper". As you would expect, but the comparison is unavoidable. His voice is I think a baritone, for one thing, and the title track is wry folk-rock:

218 What we are seeing in the UK could happen here. Conservatives were more or less Pence and McConnell types over there--big corporate statists that dragged their feet over Brexit and refused to send the illegals home. Labour got elected because Conservatives squandered any good will running the UK for 14 years and many Tory votes went to the new Reform Party in 2024 elections. Now, you have the same thing happening on the left, the old working class Labourites are moving to Reform while the more radical and Muslims are voting Green Party or Independent Muslim. The old Lib-Dem party is treading water it appears so far.

Welsh Parliament, Labor is losing most to Reform and Cymru (native Welsh party), Scottish National Party in Scotland is benefitting from Labor's collapse and Reform is getting some love up there as well.

This is what happens when a major two party system collapses--either one becomes dominant or the other new parties supplant the old ones.

He now calls his father if he's sick to "not alarm me." I never get super alarmed over anything, so don't know this change...but after his sinus surgery I was who he called for when the bleeding started and he needed his Mom. He's a big shot now at work and knows it all, man.

Other son and DIL call me. I'm on call and free and mostly correct. Or tell them to go to the ED.

I use a One Touch meter. Off statin I got a blood glucose between 95 and 110 at 10 hours fasting over night.
With Atorvastatin I got 130+ fasting, though it would go down after about 12 - 16 hours fasting. Previously metformin did not help with the blood glucose levels.
Cardiologist put me on reduced Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe which is better.

Here is a paper that discusses it, it uses a different addition, ursodeoxycholic acid or Ursudiol, to moderate the effects

290 I use a One Touch meter. Off statin I got a blood glucose between 95 and 110 at 10 hours fasting over night.
With Atorvastatin I got 130+ fasting, though it would go down after about 12 - 16 hours fasting. Previously metformin did not help with the blood glucose levels.
Cardiologist put me on reduced Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe which is better.

Here is a paper that discusses it, it uses a different addition, ursodeoxycholic acid or Ursudiol, to moderate the effects

Thats exactly what happened to me. Fasting overnight for 8 hours was around 102-105. After the statins its 120-130 and then drops around 12 hours.

I think what happened in Indiana this week scared the crap out of the normal GOPe types in the legislature and states. They want to keep their seats. And with each state that does it, it creates pressure on leaders of the other states to do the same.

I think one thing that we sometimes forget amidst all the chaos that Trump brings by new thinking on matters is he thrives on chaos like his team: the Democrats really don't as all of their politics are actually wargamed ops covered by friendly media. Their chaos is manufactured by their ngo street partners in crime.

Trump's version of chaos upsets the Dem calculations on ops because he is not behaving like a 'good' Republican should to their thinking.

Posted by: Braenyard

There is not a patch yet but turning off two of the modules (they are not in the kernel) is okay to mitigate it by a command in terminal unloading those modules if you don't need IPSEC or AFS file system.

People running servers or corporate systems need to be on their toes as it could break some of their systems. But it requires local access apparently for the people that use Linux for a home desktop or laptop computer.

AI security holes and mitigation are going to be a growth industry in computer software for some time. AI is poking holes faster than mitigation patches under the older slow system can function.

Probably even worse in Windows and perhaps Macs as neither Microsoft or Apple like disclosing such breaches. With AI, I don't think security by obscurity works any longer to conceal exploitable code.

310 Welp. Good night folks.

Labour and Conservatives continue to lose a lot of seats to Reform Party (Farange). No word on Greater Yarmouth and Rupert's Lowe's Restore UK.

From X, "Yo, it's the UK local council elections from yesterday (May 7). Still counting with only 38 of 136 done, but in plain English:

Reform UK is the big winner – they've grabbed 312 seats so far (huge surge).
Labour is losing bad, down 237 seats.
Tories also down 115.
Lib Dems and Greens picking up some. "

It also looks like Labour loses control of the Welsh Parliament with Reform dueling it out with Plaid Cymru (Welsh nationalist party), and the voters turning to Scottish National Party and Reform are dumping the major parties in the Scottish Parliament elections.

Someone needs to do an actual long-term study on them, but all of the institutional incentives are against finding out anything bad about something that powerful companies are making money off of. Even if a real scientist wanted to, and even if he were self-funding, he would face flack at the level Elon Musk has.

I really do think that they can drive homicidal ideation, and may have caused murders. Well, that's at the extreme, but I would also expect to find them more commonly responsible for slightly less dramatic effects, such as rage-outs and generically antisocial behavior.

339 Got in a good shop day today. Got my main workbench "mostly" cleared off, dumping out and sorting multiple small containers of stuff, and sorting by category (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) into containers of like stuff for eventual sorting by size. Small hardware is becoming quite expensive, and if one lives rural like me, just going to the nearest hardware store takes the better part of an hour. So even if I have to dump out a jar marked "nuts smaller than 1/4" to find the 8-32 nut that I need, I am still time and money ahead. And I moved some cartons of engine parts off the bench, and onto a shelf, and one item removed from the shelf to make room was an old armature growler. I have taken it apart, and will attempt to restore it. Very simple device.

Seems unlikely, and certainly hope not. We'll only know in the end, but most probable seems to be the strategery is mostly to maximize pressure (blockade, financial asset seizures) in order to precipitate regime realignment (hard to see how that would work) or collapse (not likely).

Turtle refuses to obey police commands.

Work hard, play hard.

Lay your paws on me.

Introducing the babies. More babies hanging out.

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

Yff pile.

Not a penguin.

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

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

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

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

Pupper bounces like a kangaroo with joy and excitement on the walk..🐕🐾😅

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

99 Ravens are crows on steroids. My son told about the time he was working at old Faithful, and saw a half dozen ravens take over some dude's truck. They quickly managed to open the cooler and start feasting. The guy arrived a little later, and the ravens drove him away, and continued to eat. Ravens are scary smart, and huge.

Found out why Dutch's show career looked so short based on the spreadsheet I made for him. I don't have two-thirds of the shows from 2014, where he was #1 Borzoi in Breed rankings, and none from 2015.

Worse, I doubt I can resurrect all the shows he appeared in but didn't get a ribbon, since in that case he wouldn't appear in the AKC's show results.

I missed it, thinking it was today for some reason, but May 5th was the cross-quarter day, halfway between the spring equinox and summer solstice (halfway defined in terms of the sun's ecliptic longitude).

So by the so-called "solar season" definition, where the equinoxes and solstices occur at the centers of the season, summer started May 5th. Otherwise, that was "peak spring".

US Assets Counter-Attack Iranian Fast Boats

Good.

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

A U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas were reported Thursday, with U.S. officials telling Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin that this was neither a restart of the war nor an end to the ceasefire.
The U.S. military also struck Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab, officials confirmed.
The development came as Iran's state-run IRNA news agency also reported air defense activity in western Tehran.
Two other loud explosions were heard Thursday night, while eyewitnesses told Iran International they heard multiple blasts in Chitgar.
Iran's state-run Mehr News Agency also reported attacks and exchanges of fire across Iran's southern Hormozgan province near Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island, according to reports.
Thursday's strike on Iran's major port came two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE's Fujairah Port.
Those strikes sparked anger among Gulf countries, officials told Griffin, though Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine had said during a Pentagon briefing May 5 that those attacks did not amount to a violation of the ceasefire.
Hegseth and Caine described the attacks as low-level incidents that did not rise to that threshold.

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

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

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

However-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mom fired back:

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

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

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

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

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

Local countries want Iran wiped out. Wiped out without international concerns. Trump has to talk them down and says what he has to in order to keep his plan (no WW and everyone in their place) because neighboring states just want them wiped out. -- > Iraq types excluded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Still only May 7th.

I think everyone including Trump understands he has to get this done soon but also get it done right. For a newcomer he's exceptionally good at politics as shown by the schlonging in Indiana.

If Trump lays waste to Iran gas prices aren't coming down anytime soon. Worse, someone will have to pick up the pieces and that usually means us one way or the other. He's a pretty good negotiator and has earned my trust in these issues. I give him a longer leash than some.

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

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

Quick Hits

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

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

I don't think Cohen is a black name.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Congressman Steve Cohen is reacting to the congressional map of Tennessee proposed by Republican state lawmakers on Wednesday.
U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen says it's devastating, and he believes it's a way to divide the Black vote in order to minimize its influence.
Protesters made their voices heard during a House committee hearing in Nashville over the proposed redistricting of District 9, which includes the city of Memphis.
"Memphis is Black, there's no denying that," protesters chanted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew
Exactly.
No one has ever inspected the actual ballots that didn't have an interest in the 2020 results being confirmed.
A federal grand jury has no obligation to accept any conclusions reached by anyone before them.
That's because no one before them had subpoena power of a federal court, and the ability to compel testimony under oath with a threat of contempt if they refuse.
This is a new ballgame played by different rules.

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

14 A thing about deportation numbers.

There's no clear one source of information.

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

And different departures are classified differently.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

118 14 A thing about deportation numbers.

There's no clear one source of information.

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

And different departures are classified differently.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carry on.

151 >>> The family of Sheridan Gorman -- the co-ed brutally slain by an illegal alien who a Chicago city councilwoman blamed for her own death by saying she was in "the wrong place at the wrong time" -- corrects the record:

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

Yeah, anyone can do that.

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

However-

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

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

That goes double for ribs and-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

National Pulse:

Tennessee Republicans have put forward a new congressional map that could secure all nine of the state's congressional districts for the GOP by eliminating a Democrat-represented district that was gerrymandered in order to create a black voting majority. Governor Bill Lee (R) had called the state legislature into a special session on Friday in to consider redistricting following a Supreme Court ruling against racial gerrymandering.
DETAIL: The proposed map divides the majority-black district in Shelby County, potentially displacing Representative Steve Cohen, and also alters Maury County to favor Republican incumbent Rep. Andy Ogles.

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

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

Cohen, pasty white dude, is their choice therefore Gingles approved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The GOP spent 2 years saying, "Maybe Trump IS a Russian agent?" which just made the whole situation worse because why support Republicans in Congress when they keep saying that Trump could be a Russian agent.

And then the 2020 census happened, redraws eliminated the idea of a swing district except for about 30 seats total.

117 > "Tennessee is a conservative state,” said state Sen. John Stevens. Over 1 million Tennesseans would disagree with this statement.

Fucking hell this is so backwards and just flatly anti-democratic. You don't declare a geographical location ideologically aligned and then draw congressional maps to support that viewpoint. The fucking PEOPLE are what decide a state's overarching political alignment. And even then - you still need to guarantee the minority has representation.

I live in Louisiana and our governor and most of the politicians here want Blacks out of politics. Our governor refused to even attend a debate because it was hosted by a black organization. He was the only candidate to do so.

Rep. Todd Warner walked in to vote draped in a Trump flag that says no more bullshit. These people should never have been taken seriously.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Effectively, the NM Democrats disenfranchised my federal elections votes permanently. That is the truest expression of what the Democrats mean when they say they are saving/protecting their democracy.

With that being the game, I completely support Republican states redistricting their states to protect what our Republic. Plus it is protection from Democrats bringing their awful voting habits with them when they relocate from the failing blue states.

246 Yes, New England is indeed pathetic, with not one GOP House member elected at the last three cycles.

However, to be fair, the only state among them where gerrymandering is a factor would be MA. VT has only one seat, so not applicable, and ME, RI, and NH have only two each, so hard to draw lines for either party's advantage.

On the other hand, RI should have lost one of them in 2020 but for Census Bureau blue state chicanery (which they have admitted).

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

So Californians paid $40 million to promote taqiyya?

The Party of Plunder, continued:

Why Did California Award This Alleged Hamas Front $40 Million?
Other states are trying to shutter CAIR branches. Gavin Newsom is writing them checks.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) presents itself as an innocuous Muslim civil rights group--a reputation it reinforces with litigation and claims of anti-Muslim bigotry. But the group finds itself under increasing scrutiny for alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Hamas. Last November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated CAIR a terrorist organization. The following month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis followed suit, citing CAIR's being listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a major terrorism financing case.
But as other states move to sideline CAIR, California is embracing this alleged terror front. CAIR-CA, the organization's largest statewide affiliate, is flush with taxpayer cash. In the last five years, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has rubberstamped at least $41 million in funding to the group. The vast majority of that money, it turns out, comes from the federal government. These federal dollars are flowing into CAIR-CA's coffers even after it was the target of a recent Department of Justice investigation.
This City Journal report--based on a trove of documents provided to us by the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), a California-based nonprofit--reveals good reason for the DOJ to be digging into CAIR-CA. It also raises serious questions about why Gavin Newsom's government is funding a chapter of an organization with alleged terrorist ties.
CAIR was founded in 1994 with the ostensible aim of advancing Muslim-American civil rights. The organization claims that it "is not and never has been an agent" or affiliate of "any militant group." But the historical record offers justification to question that characterization.
...
One would think that CAIR's ties to an Islamist terror group would make government agencies pause before providing it with public funds. But under Governor Gavin Newsom, California's state government has seemingly never met a "marginalized group" it did not want to shower with other people's money. CAIR-CA is rolling in tax dollars.
In 2022, CDSS awarded CAIR-CA $7.2 million in federal funds via a state program to provide immigration-related legal assistance. For its part, CAIR-CA pledged to serve approximately 1,800 people through September 2024, and earlier this year, claimed to have fulfilled that promise "across . . . various subgrantees." According to IAN, a public records request submitted to the CDSS did not confirm how many legal cases have been handled as part of the grant; in its most recent annual report, CAIR-CA said that it had helped "dozens of Afghan families" through the project. In September 2025, CDSS rubberstamped an additional $23 million in federal funds for CAIR-CA.
In 2024, CAIR-CA's IRS filings revealed that it had distributed more than $4 million in subgrants to 39 organizations. Among these sub-grantees were various groups with Islamist ties. For example, CAIR-CA sub-granted roughly $185,000 to California chapters of the Muslim American Society (MAS). GWU's Program on Extremism identifies MAS as an open "Brotherhood legacy group" in the U.S. In 2004, a top MAS official estimated that nearly half of the organization's activists were Muslim Brotherhood members. (MAS, which did not respond to our request for comment, claims to have "no affiliation" with the Muslim Brotherhood.)

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

CAIR-CA also sub-granted $30,000 to the Islamic Society of Orange County, which has ties to an individual connected to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In 1992, ISOC's director invited Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh," to deliver a lecture, during which he reportedly "dismissed" nonviolent interpretations of jihad. A year later, Rahman was charged with seditious conspiracy for his connection to the attack. (ISOC did not respond to our request for comment.)
In 2024, CAIR-CA sub-granted $117,000 to California "relief" chapters of the Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA was originally established as a U.S. affiliate of the Jamaat-e-Islami movement, whose founder's ideology influenced the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, in 2000, a former ICNA president penned an article that seemingly endorsed the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the U.S. (ICNA did not respond to our request for comment.)
CAIR-CA has claimed, however implausibly, that it has no control over the selection of its sub-grantees. In January 2026, the director of CAIR-CA, Hussam Ayloush, wrote to a congressional subcommittee claiming that his organization "had no input or role" in determining the sub-grantees. Instead, he suggested that CDSS had selected them.
While CDSS told IAN that it "reviews and authorizes all . . . subgrantees," the department did not release records showing that it approved or authorized the CAIR-CA sub-grants. Additionally, Alyoush's signature appears on the sub-grant contracts, which, according to IAN, suggests that CAIR-CA exercised significant discretion over millions in federal tax dollars.

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

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

Zahra Billoo, one of the leaders of the American Islamist terror-linked nonprofit, CAIR, instructed Muslims to be strategic in how they hide their radicalism. She says transparency is not good.

Disastrous Charlotte Dem Mayor Abruptly Resigns

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

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

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

Always always always read the fine print whenever you donate.

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

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

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

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

100 From the previous thread, but on the subject of Cali suckitude:

162 One thing that does occur to me - there aren't exactly a bunch of young action stars for Nolan to pick from.

Pitt was a good fit in that he was good looking, big enough for the role, and while he has gotten better at acting he was good enough at the time.

Who would you pick today for a young male action star?
Posted by: 18-1 at May 07, 2026 02:57 PM (sKqQm)

I would look at MMA and the "action stunt" circuit, like the Red Bull-sponsored stuff that Ace posts in the Cafes. I don't think that Los Angeles itself is still as attractive to the young and ambitious, so I wouldn't count on standard talent scouts cruising beaches and restaurants, let alone standard cattle calls.

I personally loved Troy (the Iliad basically) even tho I hear now it was critically panned? I don't see why? I love The Iliad (more than The Odyssey) so I just went to see it when it came out. Also Brad Pitt! I've since rewatched a bunch of times and it holds up. Sean Bean! Peter O'Toole! it rocks!

anyway screw Nolan he's more overrated than M Night

=====

Iran had been attacking population centers of every neighboring country during the 5 week conflict, and I don't think any of them had directly fought back at all. Just more, "Go, Trump Daddy, go," from them as they offered US and Israeli assets support.

UAE most definitely cleared this with CENTCOM as well.

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

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

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

They calculated that this would stoke audience interest.

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

Julia 🇺🇸
@Jules31415

Mark Hamill knows exactly what he's doing.
If you read the comments in the Bluesky thread, it's inspiring many mentally ill individuals to fantasize about this scenario--and even call for it.
I've even had leftists calling for it in my thread this morning. Sick--and in some cases, potentially criminal. Our country is in real trouble.

🚨 NOW: The White House is EVISCERATING deranged Mark Hamill for openly egging on the death of President Trump

The SAME Mark Hamill that Barack Hussein Obama just welcomed to his trash can library in Chicago

THEY WANT 47 TO BE KlLLED.

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

Obama: "I'm worried about the Republican Party.. I'd love a loyal opposition. I'd love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, believed in rule of law and judicial independence and science, and wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses." pic.twitter.com/UCV93fUxyA
— Defiant L�s (@DefiantLs) May 6, 2026

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

The Democrats responded to the assassination attempts by scoffing, smirking, laughing, protected and supported by legacy corporate media, and accusing Trump of staging the attempts on his own life.
But none dared stand up to the rabid left that has tried to take Trump's life and threatened the lives of other Republicans, from Republicans in Congress shot by an angry leftist at a baseball practice, to conservatives on the Supreme Court. And I wondered:
What would happen if Obama's life had been repeatedly threatened with assassins failing three times in a matter of months and Republicans called Obama a fascist What if conservatives appear on late night TV talk shows to mock Michelle Obama the way ABC's Jimmy Kimmel tastelessly mocked First Lady Melania Trump, and dared say Michelle was "glowing like an expectant widow?" How long would he have a show?
Don't think of it as some parlor game. Think of it happening right now, for real.
Would Kimmel keep his $16 million salary and perks if he mocked Michelle? Would the blue cities burn at the hands of angry blacks as the cities burned during the Democrat "Summer of Love in 2020 when the left turned the violent drug-addicted thug George Floyd into a saint?
The broken legacy media won't address this and or dare challenge their rabid leftist subscriber base. I don't see the Chicago Tribune and the rest of Chicago media demanding that Illinois Gov. J.B Pritzker shut his Ozempically skinny lips and insist he stop inciting assassination by repeatedly screaming lies that Trump is a Nazi and Fascist?
I'm sure you can outline the issue. Three assassination attempts and they will continue because the hard left demands it.

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

We're tired of playing by different rules.

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

John Kass, continued:

As Jimmy Kimmel basks in all the attention he's getting, has anyone had the good manners to think of Tuffy Gessling?
You've forgotten Tuffy?
He's the Missouri rodeo clown banned for life for mocking Obama, daring to ask the crowd if they wanted to see another clown in an Obama mask "get run down" by a bull.
Gesseling was forced to march the walk of shame and he was banned. FOR LIFE. And he was a real clown not some buffo from Chicago who had the crooked influence peddler Tony Rezko buy him a Chicago dreamhouse while presenting publicly as some kind of virtuous political reformer.
And the great Hank Williams Jr. had an iconic song, one of my favorites, titled Are you ready for some football? It was deleted from Monday Night Football." He called Obama some kind of Hitler. And apparently only white male Republicans can be called the 'h' word, but Obama may never be mocked that way. Never, ever.
But ESPN/ABC currently defends Kimmel for his tasteless attacks on The First Lay Melania Trump and the Trump family.

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

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

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

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

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

But, like most of what the left wants, it won't work out the way they think it will.

As satisfying as that step will be, it isn't going to make any difference.

The left is a hivemind, and every single one of them is expendable to the cause. Literally any of them can stand up and proclaim the idiocy they feel they must believe in and they'll all fall in line. And they don't have any more sense of self preservation (insofar as understanding consequences goes) than Hamas or the (current) leadership of Iran.

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

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

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

It's odd because Nolan seems professional and reasonably based, if not in politics than at least in making movies.

Why would Nolan hire (or allow to be hired) a creepy weirdo with serious mental issues who almost surely would be needy and toxic on set?

It's not like there aren't 10 million other actors who would kill for the part.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

303 While the real "inside baseball" reason Gina Carano got fired by Lucasfilm was her refusal to post her pronouns (ON HER OWN PRIVATE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, mind you) the official excuse they broadcast to the world was that she "disparaged people due to their religion" because she posted a historic photo of Jews in Germany being chased and assaulted through the streets, which was accompanied by commentary stating that violently hating your neighbor was a bad thing and can lead to fascist movements. Meanwhile Hamill (and Pascal, and Ruffalo, et al) can call Americans Nazis and Klansmen and Fascists and wish for their death without consequence.

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

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

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

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

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

Just the News:

DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show
The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China's actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a "false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not."
By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.
The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence -- much of it yet classified -- last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020
The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump's candidacy in 2020.
The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.
They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter -- the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber -- trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter's whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.
The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President's Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.

These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.
One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject.
The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race.
...
It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China's communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.

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

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

79 One of my favorite things about the disingenuous Left was how they claimed over and over that Bush should have stopped 9/11.

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

We couldn't even do that on 9/12, nor can we even do it now. Because the Left won't let us. IOW they were completely full of shit.

Two Caveats: (1) there is no Statue of Limitations on Treason under United States federal law (but of course, I can't imagine the GloboHomo Deep State allowing that to be pursued); and (2) active ongoing Cover-Ups of prior crimes in the furtherance of a conspiracy restart the Statue of Limitations clock ticking again and anew (and I hope & pray that the Grand Jury in Florida looking into various parts of the Grand Soft Coup and Stolen Election Conspiracies against President Trump are taking this into consideration -- although likely nothing will happen).

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

The DOJ will ask the Supreme Court to substitute the United States for Trump in the lawsuit, arguing that in 2019, during his first term as president, when Trump denied Carroll’s sexual assault claims against him, he was acting as an employee of the government.

3. Clear majority votes in favor of impeaching Trump.
4. Senate takes up the articles later today.
5. Thune takes it seriously and holds a full trial with Roberts in attendance tomorrow.
6. Vote for conviction (67 Senators in affirmation, meaning at least 20 GOPers vote for it).

Trump is destabilizing China by taking away its sources of sanctioned oil that China was buying for $30 per barrel and forcing China to purchase oil on the open market at spot prices.

But, sure, there's a real danger that Trump is just all around friendly with Xi and it's just not his normal veneer of friendliness when he enters negotiations for the first time.

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

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

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

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

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

A group of alleged child predators were arrested after they'd been working around children and families aboard a Disney cruise.
They were apprehended by the same immigration agents Democrats want to defund.
KNSD reported Wednesday that a Disney cruise docked in San Diego after a trip with stops in Ensenada, Baja California, as well as Catalina Island, where federal agents took several employees into custody.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Sandra Grisolia released a statement about the raid:
"On April 28, HSI San Diego arrested twenty-three crewmembers from multiple cruise ships at the Port of San Diego as part of Operation Tidal Wave. The arrests targeted individuals suspected of involvement with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), based on information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."
"The arrestees were transported to Los Angeles for processing, and their visas were revoked," the ICE spokeswoman continued.
The New York Post clarified that it's unclear which other ships from companies outside of Disney may have been involved.
Dharmi Mehta, a passenger on a Disney cruise, said that witnessing the arrests was "really unsettling."
...
Benjamin Prado from Union del Barrio stated, "This is not an isolated incident," adding, "In fact, it has become a growing pattern, not only here in San Diego but throughout this country.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seattle, USA: A 77-year-old American man steps off a bus in the city center and is brutally beaten � without any reason by Somali migrant Abdullahi Olman.

The entire savage attack was captured on the city�s real-time crime cameras. But Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson�s response?

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

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

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

This Cultural Enrichment Officer was also caught on camera.

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

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

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

I'm still in training, shadowing experienced tutors. I shadowed one from 5-6:30 yesterday evening, and I've got some more shadowings scheduled for the weekend.

There is a LOT of information to absorb, as this company has a very structured approach regarding curriculum, format, etc. To say nothing of the software it uses. But, I'm tentatively giving myself until the end of May to start actually tutoring solo.

Over the last year or so, several crows have moved into our neighborhood.

I'm pretty sure it's becuz some necromancer moved in,

or perhaps a cannibal and the crows feed on the leftovers.

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

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

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

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

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

166 Just went to Seattle for the first time last week for a conference my wife was attending / presenting.

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

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

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

I can't say that I have an overwhelming desire to go back - thats for sure.

170 I have always taken not voting as a sign of political health. That is, people are not expecting other citizens to vote in a way that harms them and they aren't using their time to stay informed, because they don't have to.

A healthy polity has few laws and changes them seldom.

We do not have a healthy polity.

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

Have only been to Europe once (to be the Best Man at a dear friend's wedding in Copenhagen) back in '98. We then sailed on a schooner to Sweden (with the objective to make it to Riga, Latvia -- but didn't make it).

Upshot was two noticeable annoyances: (1) the public restrooms were awful, outdoor, and barbaric; and (2) NONE of the payphones at the time (you 29-year-olds probably don't remember those -- and I didn't get my first mobile cell phone until '99) were in working order.

Congratulations!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seattle gets earthquakes less often.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

324 I have always taken not voting as a sign of political health. That is, people are not expecting other citizens to vote in a way that harms them and they aren't using their time to stay informed, because they don't have to.

A healthy polity has few laws and changes them seldom.

We do not have a healthy polity.

332 Why do these cities get such awful politicians ?

During the early 2000s there was a common observation that people defending against terrorism had to be 100% perfect, but the terrorists only needed to get it right once. Democrats are that way: they win once, they install the Dominion machines and whatnot, and they never lose again unless the kayfabe demands a GOPe type for a few years.

335 Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes.

“Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.”

“And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.”

“The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.”

“The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.”

“How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?”

“Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

..YES

But I don't think that will happen because there is just too much money in play.

339 Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes.

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

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

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

You aren't seeing a broken system anymore. You are seeing a well oiled machine, but it isn't designed to do the things you think it is supposed to do.
