Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - April 28, 2026 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! The Tuesday night ONT has arrived. Thanks for stopping by! Open thread, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

I'd hate to see what the "slowest moving" project is

Key Bridge contract canceled: Gov. Wes Moore's 'fastest moving' claim tested

Maryland’s plan to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge hit a major setback Tuesday, as state officials abruptly canceled a key construction contract, undercutting Gov. Wes Moore’s repeated claim that the project was the nation’s “fastest-moving” large infrastructure effort.

The decision to off-ramp contractor Kiewit Infrastructure Co. from the project’s critical second phase came after its proposals “far exceeded” state estimates, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

The move forces Maryland back into the market for a new builder at a pivotal moment, as project costs have surged from roughly $1.8 billion to more than $5.2 billion. It transforms what Moore has framed as a model of speed into a high-stakes test of the administration’s ability to manage one of the most expensive and politically scrutinized infrastructure projects in the country.

I imagine if this was in a state with a Republican governor and legislature, the new bridge would be open already. This is just shameful.

A bridge of a different sort

World’s largest wildlife crossing finally has an opening date

doof-wildlife-bridge.jpg

After cost overruns and delays pushed back the project by at least a year, the world’s largest wildlife bridge finally has a ribbon-cutting date.

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, north of Los Angeles, is expected to open on Dec. 2, four-and-a-half years after work began, project leaders announced Wednesday during an Earth Day news conference.

“What a journey this has been! And we cannot wait to celebrate with you all,” managers said.

***

The project has been an emotional journey for those involved. Its goal is to reinvigorate Southern California’s iconic mountain lion population by restoring genetic diversity. Other animals that frequently get hit by cars on the 101 also stand to benefit, including bears, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, and deer.

The science is settled!

Does Beer Have a 'Surprising Health Benefit'? Here's What The Science Says

Saying that a beer provides 15% of your daily vitamin B6 sounds impressive, but it ignores the wider dietary picture.

Most people in the UK are not deficient in vitamin B6. And the same amount, or more, can easily be obtained from a standard healthy diet. A number of foods, such as potatoes, chickpeas, fortified cereals, grains, meat, and vegetables, provide vitamin B6 without the need for alcohol.

***

The paper also links vitamin B6 to important neurological functions, but does not provide evidence that beer consumption meaningfully improves brain health.

It correctly states that vitamin B6 is involved in making the brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine, and confirms that beer contains measurable amounts of B6.

However, the interpretation that beer is therefore "brain boosting" is problematic.

Beer is good for you!

47 I did see Marshall Tucker in college as the Southern Belle friend of my male gang. For some reason I was the only girl with them most of the time: 5 boys. Southern Rock was big in the mid-
70's and we all loved it.

One guy was dating a classmate of mine. Some not dating or not often. I was their concert mascot I guess, or the chick who would go anywhere anytime. Two of them almost talked me into skydiving. This was pre bf/husband. Half of them liked him, half of them did not and too bad.

Great concert, I'm sure. I'm also sure I don't remember much of it but I was there.

Thanks, Doof, for the ONT.

I also agree on the dumb people on the Internet. Not on this blog, of course of intelligent people male and female.

On another I want to scream, "You dumbarse, Google it!" Yet then I feel badly for someone so stupid or wanting a link and ignore them.

Tonight there was a total dimwit (super dumb very often. I think he might be Somolian) saying that Comer probably has "his" people in the US Marshal's. Right. Right. Right. Of course.

I'd like to send a US Marshal to arrest this guy for being dumb and having a bird he is in love with (I am serious). I guess better than a furry.

I think second was the Allman Brothers.

Third: Doobie Brothers with a rare date, one and done.

Many more in college. Then Jethro Tull in 1975, the day before I was to return West to nursing school and the bass player fancied meeting me. My brother and friends said no to the after party and ended my only chance as a groupie.

Then many more in college. I had a lot of fun!

135 I'm surprised at the wildlife bridge being built in California. You KNOW it messed up a habitat of rare Mexican fruit flies or something.

My Marine father was ticked off that fire ants were almost eradicated in the South. The EPA or similar stepped in and stopped it due to a rare minnow or stupid fish no one cared about. Planes used to fly over and dump poison, which did not faze me since I rode bikes through DDT clouds (and explains a lot).

Fire ants on our cattle farm built ant beds like you see in Africa. Can kill calves if they fall on them. One of my sons had an allergy and I once scraped them off his legs in FL as he waited to cross a street with his bike. Nasty ants and mean repeat biters. Glad to have left them behind when we moved!

I know the habitat of something slowed down the border wall during the Obungo Error of Time I'd like to forget.

Crowd surges are scary. The glass doors bowed with our bodies against them for Jethro Tull.

Then for ZZ Top security lost control of those in the stadium above us on the floor. Fun times! My guys held onto my arms as we were standing on chairs.

At Mardi Gras the crowd surge pushed my head up against the flank of a police horse. Which was better than his tail, before we got into Pat O'Brien's.

154 Around here they erect dozens and dozens of miles of eight-foot high fence to keep deer and migrating elk from wandering onto the highway.

But since that doesn't keep the deer and elk from getting onto the highway, every quarter mile or so they put in a one-way dirt ramp that allows the deer or elk to walk up and jump back down outside the fence line. I always mentally try to calculate the cost per mile of this mitigation effort. Seems spendy to me.

I was alarmed but not panicked for my crowd surges.

Two of my guy friends and I did get busted at Disneyland and I felt a huge panic coming on but stayed quiet. We/they did not know about security cameras in the parking lot. We were very excited to ride Space Mountain as we called ourselves the Space Cadets.

They put us on golf carts & asked for ID. Which always led me to they are going to call my parents in MS freak out. Then they confiscated my friend's stuff & kicked us out of the park. That was my first trip to Disneyland & I saw the parking lot but lived. Crazy times.

I was going to California to see the beach and ride back with one of my classmates who lived above me in the old rental party house to start the semester. I still saw the Pacific and rode back with her.

Animals don't look both ways before crossing the street. Hell, most humans don't. Animals won't stare into the distance, and think..."hey, check that out. A safe place for me to cross over the road. That's great."

Nope, a coyote will lick it's nuts after chowing down on a rather slow rabbit, and head across all four lanes for no particular reason other than it feels like it.

When you are trying to match wallpaper remember you aren't trying to make one side fit another, you are trying to make 2 piecies fit together. Both sides have to match.

IANAL, but politics junkies naturally absorb a bit just trying to understand what's going on. The courts are tedious, because their remit is purely backward-looking. (This is a side effect of the separation of powers, and annoying but positive in sum.) So, they will do infuriating things like refusing to consider whether a ballot question is improperly worded until after it's been voted on, since an issue isn't "ripe" if no harm has yet occurred for the court to remedy.

Since there are four or so fatal flaws with the Virginia gerrymander, and whenever one is dealt with the next is mooted and not "ripe" yet, it could take several years of re-voting and re-re-voting to resolve them all. The alternative is actually worse, since a forward-looking judiciary is also legislative and/or executive, and I need to re-read the Federalist Papers for details but mixed powers are prone to intractable corruption.

I don't know if there is a laser option for cataracts. The long-standing standard treatment is refractive lens replacement, which is now an outpatient surgery done with mild sedation, and local anaesthetic. Quite painless, and takes less than 15 minutes. You can see the results right away, but you wear a patch for a day or two. I had it done a few years ago, and have been delighted with the results. Wore Coke bottle glasses or soft contacts from childhood. No more! I use reading glasses for real close work, but none for distance vision.

I've got early stage cataracts, both eyes. Now, it's just annoying, especially at night. Starbursts and halos around lights.

In daytime, I see the odd shadows and some odd color effects (caused by light scattering so forth) in the side vision and that prompted me to get an eye exam last year, where they discovered the cataracts. Doc said I'm one of those that notice subtle effects more than others, apparently.

You missed the keyword 'Southie'. Only Bostonites think that's distinctive, being so solipsistic they can't imagine any other city having a south side. So it perversely ends up being distinctive, since anyone but a Bostonine would also tell you the city. And Bostonoan 'Southies' were historically Irish, you're expected to know.

Back in the late '80's environmentalists + politicians dreamed up the notion of human-free wildlife biodiversity corridors connecting coastal Calif regions to the Sierra. The Clintons began grabbing fed public land and designating them as wilderness protection lands.

Left wing conservatory groups + State agencies badgered coastal and valley land owners to sell off large chunks of land. Silicon Valley venture capitalists got mixed up in some of those deals. RFKjr. working as frontman was hovering around the SV people (Brightsource/Mojave.) Dianne Feinstein, too.

A lot of the info was reported in small regional central valley newspapers (rip).

Find a good ophthalmologist who's been been in the business for a few decades and knows what they're doing. They can tell you what you need. Cataracts require lens replacement, which is a painless outpatient procedure, with quick recovery.

249 I am off to bed Horde and I bid you sweet dreams, I am fatigued. On the plus side my brother has officially moved to senior living and care. I still care and I always will but it is no longer my responsibility to provide care for him. He is safe, I could be long gone and he will always be cared for. I worked hard to scour the bathroom and wash the floor both kitchen and bath, it represented a bit of finality in my life, in a most positive way. I still have time to do stuff, I want to travel while I still can. I will dream of such a trip.

The lens in your eye is like two dishes set together face to face. The "dish" part is a transparent membrane and the space between is filled with a jelly-like liquid. That jelly gets cloudy and that's called a cataract.
To fix it, a very small slice is made in the membrane, a probe is inserted and ultrasonics are used to completely liquify the jelly, which is sucked out through the same probe. The jelly is replaced by a transparent plastic piece shaped to fit inside the membrane. Medicare will.pay for all of this, but there is an extra cost option. If you use glasses, that piece of plastic can be shaped to correctly focus the light on your retina, eliminating your glasses. This is called an IntraOcular Lens (IOL).

The artisanal, bespoke, butterfly/cougar overpass in Agoura Hills was already over $100M last we saw, compared to $15M for such bridges in other states. It's the basis for my current estimate that blue-state public spending is 85% grift. Since European countries are like blue states, but older and with more entrenched corrupt cliques, this helps explain why they're basically supine against a lightly-armed barbarian invasion: they literally can't muster resources to do things.

Lasers have nothing to do with primary cataract surgery. They're used in a separate procedure, used to reshape the lens to correct things like nearsightedness.
Now, sometimes, after the primary surgery, the cataract will return. This time, the mechanism is that the membrane holding the plastic lens will turn cloudy. In this case the treatment does involve a laser, a much more powerful one that basically melts away the center of the membrane on both sides of the plasticl lens, leaving a donut shaped remnant of of the membrane holding the lens in place.
I've had both surgeries. Both eyes have IOLs in them, and the cataract reoccured, so I had the second laser procedure.

Now, this is my experience, but there are always new procedures and devices. Your opthomologist may do something different, but the end result is removing the cloudy material and replacing it.

The colored bands you see on the horizon from those orbital videos are airglow. Here's a bunch:

https://is.gd/vgVJdY

The different layers have different colors. If you scroll down a bit you'll see one of the Milky Way and storms over Africa (the ISS blesses the rains over Africa).

The greens and reds are the higher layers, and you can't really see the stratosphere or the troposphere except right at the terminator at orbital sunrise and set.

That rains in Africa goes on until sunrise, and right there at the last you'll see a thin blue line. That's the stratosphere. Look off to the side as the sun gets higher and you'll see another really thin line under the blue. That's the troposphere.

That thin blue line and the even thinner one below is what keeps up pressurised agin' the vacuum. That's our very thin little security blanket.

113 Brazil when I was there had lots of uncoated power lines overhead, in cities. Always exciting when wind or a storm would rock the lines, and they'd flash and explode a bit when touching. Yikes.

In the post-Soviet USSR "left lines" were strung in many cities to connect to main lines that would be hot when lots of other lines were cold most of the time. Power generation could be spotty in many places. Ditto water pressure, of course. Always checked and if there was water flowing you'd fill the buckets that were thoughtfully provided, plus a bathtub if there was one.

Contractor on a work site showed me a mason jar full of huge placer gold - those nuggets looked like thumb-drop cookies - roll a decent sized ball of dough and mash your thumb into the middle - that big.

The expense they went to to get at that placer likely cost $10 grand.

That would be horrifying.

There was a huge chain reaction car wreck on the 401 in Southern Ontario one year when there was really heavy fog. At least 50 vehicles.

I remember reading of one guy trying to save a screaming girl yelling "I'm only 14!"

I'd drink heavily after that....

They have blade brakes now for table saw that can stop the saw in a tiny fraction of a second. Surely some analog of that technology could be applied to wood chippers and other inherently dangerous machines. Perhaps some sort of guard around the chute opening, that if pressed with sufficient force, would close a switch and fire a powder-actuated brake wedge to stop the drum in a quarter revolution. Use shear pins in the drive from motor to the drum, so if the drum got stopped by brake, the pins would shear, and the motor could continue to run, unharmed.

MkY can tell you better than I, my experience was a long time ago and I'm sure safety features have greatly improved since then. But some stuff is just inherently dangerous. The whole point of a chainsaw is to have an exposed chain driven set of blades. And if you are going to chip big pieces of trees they gotta get in there some how.

I actually loved the job. Got to be outside playing with all kinds of toys. Also taught me to give a lot of respect to the guys who do it.

Don't neglect the geochemical aspect of some gold placers. There is pretty good evidence that some bacteria in the soil can create a local reducing environment that causes gold to precipitate out of solution, and actually "gold-plate" the microbes. Uranium is another metal that can be reduced out solution by decaying organic matter.

Women don't, usually, think horrid pain is funny. Men like watching the three stooges, but women? Not so much. Just doesn't tickle the funny bone.

Likewise, women will never know what it is like to be kicked in the balls. Just as men will never know what it is like being a woman, no matter how many perverts claim they "feel like a woman." What they feel is a parody of being a woman, not the actual experience.

210 Years ago my brother used to be a sensor operator on the Army's OV-1D Mohawk when he was stationed in Alaska. He and his pilot would fly up valleys and river beds and take IR photos. Then they'd analyze them for black sand and other color differentiations. He averaged about $20k a year in gold mining.

230 The Crusades, at least as preached by Pope Urban II, were a literal God-send for Western Europe. Finally, Christendom would be fighting back to turn the tide of Musulman conquest. The threat of the Mohammedans wasn’t truly weakened until the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, long after the Crusades were over. The threat wasn’t truly gone until Ataturk secularized Turkey, and today the threat of the Mohammedans has returned.

I've tried multiple times to read her stuff. It just does not hold my interest, even when she's trying (in a literary fashion, natch) to emulate a horror story or a fantasy. Like a lot of literary types, she gets some of the tropes right, but fails on the background, or at making the story gripping on some level.

Huxley managed it with Brave New World, and there have been a few others who succeeded. But most often when literary types try to do genre, it doesn't come off.

291 I have to admit that if I were Camilla I would have brought some of my favorite tiaras to DC. Because I could. I would not care if I was the only one with a tiara tonight and would have told Melania to wear her bling as well.

My granddaughters and I have tiaras and we wear them whenever we feel like it (ok, the 8mo old wears a string of fake pearls on her lovely head and now tries to eat them). The 5yr old and I rock tiaras and believe they improve your mood.

I want Queen Camilla to get some new ones out we haven't ever seen in the UK. Time's a wasting! I realize the Princess of Wales is restricted to those she wears, but as Queen, rock on!

More Biden COVID fraud.

Pfizer's COVID antiviral, bankrolled by Biden administration, doesn't help high-risk adults: study


New England Journal of Medicine lets Anthony Fauci and his onetime deputy play down results in editorial alongside study from U.K., Canada trials. Critics suspect profit motive played role in long-delayed publication.


By Greg Piper

The Biden administration threw its weight and reportedly more than $12 billion in taxpayer money behind Pfizer's Paxlovid despite the COVID-19 antiviral's penchant for rebound infections -- including in the First Couple and then-directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A long-awaited study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests the nirmatrelvir-ritonavir combination marketed as Paxlovid, with nearly 24 million courses federally purchased at $530 each, is no better at protecting vaccinated adults at elevated risk than it is at mitigating so-called long COVID, as Pfizer's own research found two years ago.

The "two open-label platform trials," known as PANORAMIC in the U.K. and CanTreatCOVID in Canada, found Paxlovid "did not reduce the incidence of hospitalization or death among vaccinated higher-risk participants" -- 50 and older and 18-50 with "coexisting conditions" -- who tested positive for COVID and "had been unwell for 5 days or less."

"We found no evidence that early treatment" reduced their "already-low incidence of hospitalization or death in either trial and were unable to identify any prespecified subgroup with compelling evidence of treatment effect," the authors said.

It's just the latest black eye for Pfizer, which canceled a trial for its new COVID vaccine for healthy 50-64 year-olds this month due to lack of interest and did not answer a Just the News query for its response to the peer-reviewed study. The Canada Paxlovid trial similarly ended early "because of slow recruitment" and its supply being discontinued, the study said.

To play down the new results, NEJM published a same-day editorial by former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and his then-deputy director for clinical research, Cliff Lane.

The new trials show the findings from Pfizer's EPIC-HR trial, the initial basis for the feds going all-in on Paxlovid, don't apply "to the current circumstances, in which most adults have varying degrees of preexisting immunity and the circulating variants are different," they wrote.

"However, one should be cautious not to overinterpret the new data and conclude that nirmatrelvir--ritonavir is not of current value," they said.

The Supreme Court has overturned a leftwing judge's injunction, okaying the Texas redistricting map.

Even CNN isn't buying child-death-wishing Virginia AG's non-arguments about the inarguable illegality of the Virginia gerrymander referendum. The state constitution requires 90 days between the introduction of a referendum and the vote, and they just didn't even bother to follow this rule. (They also ignored the constitution's requirement that an amendment must be first passed in one state assembly and then, only after an intervening election, re-passed by another state assembly.)

Even CNN's fat-faced partisan plumper dismisses his whining about an "activist state judge" and points out that this isn't about a judge, this is about a simple on-its-face "math problem."

I'm sure the media is going to ignore this and focus on Virginia, but the Blue wave is just getting taller as time goes on with Trump constantly pissing everyone off.

the incoming blue wave might surprise the greedy Republicans in Texas. There's been talk about Texas turning purple for years now. With the Trump administration actively pissing everyone off they could easily lose seats in Texas.

Its an interesting, kind of sad story. The owner who kicked it recently tried as recently as a few years ago to ban adult content, but that led to a massive revolt. Plus now, in the wake of its success you have other services that are similar.

I'd wager the success rate though on these platforms is similar to the number of kids who play high school basketball making it to the NBA.

76 The abortion denier, Miz Waters: her hands are held so tightly together in stress her knuckles are white.

Dear Miz Waters: In the mid-70's we were told "clump of cells" before 12th week. Which sort of made it ok to others I knew. In reality there is a heartbeat at 8wks on ultrasound. Babies feel pain at 12 weeks from study.

I recently mourned a 9wk grandchild of miscarriage.

Planned Parenthood has a history not only of lying to women but eugenics. With no thought at all of the father.

I note you did not answer the question.

I thank God I never had an abortion, but there is forgiveness by God for those who are haunted by this. I pray for you. There are resources for you.

I want someone to now check DeLauro's gender. A brave soul, very drunk or doped up to check.

Her ringed large fingers make me wonder if it is a male who has used wild clothing all these horrid years to be a drag queen. I know I would have said,"Don't you point those hideous arthritic fingers at me, you loon!"

Which is why I am not in public office.

87 Dumb? Dumb is when you try to make "86" mean murder. "86" is anglisied Gaelic., like most of American slang was. Anyone old enough, like Comey is" to have grandparents who came over from Erin should know 86 means a denial of hospitality "eiteachas aiochta" means a denial of service denial of lodging denial of hospitality. When diners ran out of a menu item it was 86ed. It does not mean murder

Most all 19th early 20th slang was Gaelic based. Irish ran the bars brothels and gambling joints and used a secret language to communicate. Jew boys and WASPS never really learned it

The only actual question in the abortion debate is "When and under what circumstances is it acceptable to kill a human child?"

Everything else - women's autonomy, medical decisions, everything - is window dressing designed to obscure the entire fundamental question.

97 OT, but evening, all! I have return-ed to the Land of Da Swamp (and hate every minute of it, as I knew I would). The trip was safe and basically uneventful -- no rain at all. But it was as if the state conspired to screw me from the moment I crossed the state line. To give you an idea, on the last portion of the trip, in the city, I cursed at traffic for the first time since I left the state eleven days ago. Salina did not have traffic jams, and Fort Scott was too small almost to have traffic. Ah, Kansas . . .

Anyway! The cats remember me. I'm sitting with some mineral water, getting up the energy to microwave a dinner, and Miss Linda is on the way back shortly to help me haul my other suitcases in from the car.

Sorry if it sounded like I was taking it personal. I knew that was a possible reading from the way I wrote it. I was more clarifying in case that applied to me.

But I agree. And I cringe at quite a few times when the "right" just borrows terminology from the left--like "the right", for instance.

If you don't see that's just a bag given for you to hold while they dump Nazis and Italian fascists into it and then blame you for the contents they put with you in the bag, you're not watching the sleight of hand.

I guarantee you no meth-dealing Aryan nation fuckhead wants what I want out of a country, besides, perhaps marginally.

149 For those interested, the "ceasefire" in Lebanon continues at its prior pace - that is, lots of attacks and lots of fire, not much ceasing.

IDF uncovered and today blammo'd! a yuuuge tunnel complex, 10km from the border. They're systematically search for/destroying the enormous and diverse Hezbollah infrastructure in the zone they occupy.

A real highlight today was the revelation that a 12-yr old Lebanese girl contacted the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman to report that her school had Hezbollah weapons and hidden underground military facilities/storage. Of course *she* is being investigated and punished, presumably. This last bit lends the story more credibility, actually.

178 This is purely anecdotal evidence for the efficacy of Paxlovid, but I had a terrible case of Covid. I took Paxlovid within a couple of days of coming down with the disease, and I experienced almost complete cessation of symptoms within about 12 hours of starting the medication. I can't say Paxlovid kept me out of the hospital or kept me from dying, because I don't know what would have happened without Paxlovid, but it sure seemed to greatly reduce my Covid symptoms.

You don't understand, the left doesn't make comparisons. They make mouth noises intended to generate process and to fill the gaps while they're maneuvering to start killing you. There is no logic there because they don't do logic; they are a post-logic belief system. They are right; everyone else who isn't them is wrong, on an epistemological level. That's it.

That is an accurate statement. It didn't change physical properties one bit between "I'm not going to take Trump's vaccine (because that would open up the streets)" and "YOU'RE going to take the Jab, dammit!!!"

But suddenly, when it could be mandated, it was a cure-all. And now Paul's here saying you can blame Trump because Biden tried to force the SAME Jab on people (actually that's wrong, Biden didn't do shit).

Don't they see, we can't possibly be as dumb or gullible as they are.

246 @245...once you've seen Weinstein in his hotel bathroom you lose some of your shine.

I would not lose a thing because I'd never be so needy and stupid to go to his hotel room alone. And second I would injure him so badly I would not care if my career was ruined. He is disgusting. I can't read the current stories as the potted plant a few years ago nearly finished me off.

The three Oscar winners who never said a word against him:
1. Streep
2. Paltrow (her first nomination)
3. Lawrence (her first nomination)

It was a deal cut in a bathroom hotel visit. Actually Paltrow did talk about him because Brad Pitt was ticked off.

However, once he was convicted total silence from the three above. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Streep's acting is better than the other two by a bit... or her accents. The other two can't act.

At the time he was rumored to control the "academy." Which upped his game in his bathrobe, which I'd prefer not to think about.

Instead of the old casting couch it was the hotel room for a "meet and greet." Hurl.

Queer Stammer Survives Parliamentary Vote; "No Kings" Democrats Wildly Applaud Literal King of Post-Christian England

As you probably remember, Queer Stammer has repeatedly lied to the country about whether or not he was warned that the "Prince of Darkness" Peter Mandelson was on Jeffrey Epstein's payroll and gave Epstein sensitive UK economic data before it was public in exchange for monetary "gifts" from Epstein. Queer fought to get the Epstein Payroll Grifter made Ambassador to the US, where he would have access to almost every top secret diplomatic cable the UK produces.

At various points Stammer has denied being told this, and has fired most of his senior staff, blaming them for "not informing" him. Other times he accidentally admitted he knew about this, but then claimed he didn't know the "texture" and "extent" of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein. Because, see, Mandelson told him it wasn't true.

All patriotic Brits wanted Queer Starmer referred to a government body for official investigation into his corruption and lies, but Queer Starmer broke enough arms of his own party -- which controls Parliament by a huge majority, thanks to the Tories' constant lies about opposing unending foreign invasion -- to spare him that reckoning.

State socialist propaganda outlet BBC:

Prime Minister Keir Starmer will not face a parliamentary investigation over claims he misled MPs about the process to appoint Lord Mandelson as US ambassador.

The government won the vote by 335 to 223 - with 14 Labour MPs rebelling.

Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch accused the majority of Labour MPs of being "complicit" in a "cover up". Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said Starmer had "ducked" scrutiny over the issue, saying it was a "cowardly way to govern".

Starmer has denied misleading MPs. A No 10 spokesperson called the vote a "desperate political stunt" ahead of next week's elections, and said the government will continue to engage "with the two parliamentary processes that are running on Peter Mandelson's appointment with full transparency".

Even Cathy "So What You're Saying Is I'm a Lobster" Newman pointed out that while Queer Starmer calls the vote to force an investigation a "desperate political stunt," Queer Starmer forced the same vote on the last Tory PM.

Earlier in the day, former top civil servant in the Foreign Office, Philip Barton, said No 10 was "uninterested" in his concerns over Mandelson's links to Epstein.

And former top aide to Starmer, Morgan McSweeney, said he made a "serious mistake" in advising the PM to appoint the former ambassador, but said Mandelson hadn't been "open enough".

I hear Queer Starmer is "open enough" to gay Ukrainian models.

Speaking of sexually-bent Islamic UK leaders: Shah Charles addressed Congress and took a lot of shots at the American president, to the delight of Objective Journalist Jake Tapper.

WATCH: CNN was giddy over King Charles III's speech and the instances when he took veiled shots at Donald Trump and MAGA...

CNN's Jake Tapper: "There were some items in that speech that I think it's fair to say were included that, you know, are I wouldn't call them zingers against President Trump, but points of disagreement."

David Chalian: "And did not hide from them at all. I mean, I think a speech that was putting democratic values, the rule of law, the power of alliances, even a specific on the support of Ukraine's defense, these -- these stand in complete opposition. And in fact, some of them are the very things that Donald Trump sort of rails against when he's complaining about Europe or the U.K., specifically. Now, King Charles doesn't come in here itching for a fight on it. He comes in with his position to be above it a bit and in his you know, very British, stiff upper lip kind of way. It's not that he was trying to get in a fight with President trump, but he couldn't have seized the opportunity more to really stand clear on the importance of these things with a value system underneath it that is in contrast to a lot of what Donald Trump has been presenting on the world stage as it comes to these alliances."


I could've done without this:

Don't we already have enough foreign invaders here at the invitation of the corrupt Regime?

Charles claimed that he's a Christian and that the UK is a Christian nation.

He lied.

Authorities In Britain Are Trying To Criminalize Christian Street Preaching

As Christianity declines in the West, we should expect Christians to be persecuted. It's already happening in Britain.

John Daniel Davidson


A church in Britain is facing criminal charges for preaching Christianity in public. The United Kingdom has made a habit in recent years of criminalizing Christian preaching and prayer on public streets (including silent prayer near abortion clinics), but this might be the first time the authorities have targeted an entire church and not just an individual.

Bread of Life Community Church in Essex this week was issued something called a Community Protection Notice, which could criminalize its pastor, a man named Stephen Clayden, as well as church members for preaching in public--something the church has done without incident for six years. A hearing is set for May 1, but in the meantime breaching the notice is a criminal offense, which means Clayden and his congregation could face prosecution if they continue their street ministry.

The notice was served following months of escalating pressure from local authorities in Essex, which at first cited amplification (despite no prohibitions on amplified sound in the area where the church members were preaching) but eventually accused the church of using "religious messaging" that mentions "hell," causing "harassment, alarm and distress" to local residents.

"The notice continues by saying that wardens have 'tried to educate' the preachers, but the preaching is 'unreasonable' and having a 'detrimental effect on the community," according to a statement about the case from Christian Concern, an organization that advocates for the rights of Christians in Britain.

Clayden, the pastor, was quoted in news reports saying that his congregation has "preached the Bible lawfully and peacefully in Colchester for six years. We have harmed no one. We cannot and will not stop preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. No council has the authority to silence the church."

A lawyer for the church said that "public order powers designed to address genuine antisocial behavior are now being used to clamp down on Christian preaching. Today it is amplification, tomorrow it is the content of the message itself. We are seeing a slippery slope from managing noise to policing theology."

All of this is as obvious as can be. In a healthy, functioning Western society, no one would question the right of Christians to preach on public streets and share the gospel, nor would local authorities arrogate to themselves the right to "educate" preachers on what Christian teachings are or are not "unreasonable."

But Britain is not a healthy Western society. It is a rapidly de-Christianizing society, which means it is becoming increasingly hostile toward the Christians who still call it home. Note how the British authorities never use these police powers to target Muslims praying in the streets or deliberately gathering to pray outside churches. Public noise complaints are never issued for amplified Muslim calls to prayer. The law is applied only to Christians--and in this case, specifically to suppress orthodox Christian teaching about sin, judgment, and hell.

CNN presidential historian Tim Naftali tacitly admits the U.K. is on it's way to no longer being an "English civilization," but rather an "evolving nation":

BLITZER: Well, on that front, Tim, how do you think President Trump and for that matter, King Charles are both going to handle some of the tension that developed between the Trump administration and the British government, between President Trump and Keir Starmer, the prime minister. How is that going to fall over this entire historic arrival ceremony?

NAFTALI: Well, uh, traditionally, the way the royals have is by seeking to talk in generalities and talk about shared values. Um, our President is very much committed to what he sees as English civilization. Um, and king Charles represents, I mean, England is a diverse, evolving nation. But but in a sense, King Charles represents that civilization to which Donald Trump tightly adheres.

I hope President Trump bats him down after a few drinkies imbibed by Chuck, as he will be left more puce than normal and his sausage finger may burst over his pinkie ring.

I still haven't figured out why he has hands like he does. It is weird and not at all normal.

During the speech his fingers don't bend. He sort of swats at papers with them. For a tiny blink of a nanosecond I almost felt sorry for him, waiting for all the papers to fall off the podium and leave him speechless. (This would be the literal meaning of speechless, by the way.)

I think Camilla is only here for the gin and I could almost feel sorry for her but yet I don't.

"The trial for three men accused of arson against properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer began at the Old Bailey on April 27, 2026. The defendants, identified as Roman Lavrynovych (21), Stanislav Carpiuc (26), and Petro Pochynok (34), face charges related to three separate fire incidents in May 2025 involving a car and two homes in London."

They are Ukrainian of course.

97 The Royal family and Starmer should be very proud/sarcasm. They knowingly have a country of invaders who are raping their girls and women, knifing their boys and men, and turning a blind eye while it gets worse. They are stifling free speech and threatening those that dare criticize the regime with imprisonment. Under Biden, they allowed the invaders in and the same atrocities happened but the people acted, we got Trump by the grace of God, and while the situation is not perfect, it has greatly improved. The invaders have been plundering our welfare system but there to again, under Trump, it is getting better but we still have a long way to go as well as the USAID, NGOs, and all of the other corrupt entities of the global elite systems that want the destruction of the US as it stands.

From the CA Post, what a doll:

-----------------
A fundraising email for California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter bearing a vulgar message aimed at President Trump has has been blasted for going out after a gunman targeted Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The email — with the subject line “F—k Trump” — included statements the ex-congresswoman made at the California Democratic Party Convention in February, where she held up a sign bearing the vulgar two-word insult.

“I’m Katie Porter. Some of you know me as the whiteboard lady who held CEOs and billionaires accountable in Congress,” read the email, which was sent by the progressive activist organization LeftNet and included a link to donate to Porter’s campaign.

I cast my vote for Junipero Gin, made by Anchor.

The highest octane of any gin I am aware of and smooth, babycakes.

First had a Ouest Martini (famous Upper West Side restaurant, now closed) in NYC. We are talking legal anesthesia and no issues the next day from feeling so good.

We took Son #2 and his gf/now wife to NYC after their university graduation. He'd never seen me lit and loved it. I was floating around Central Park like a Macy's Day Balloon and cracking jokes.
A very happy drink. Highly recommend

4oz Junipero gin. add splash King Elder Vermouth,
onion stuffed olives and one pickled green bean
Shaken, not stirred

Yes, yes, I know it is 4oz gin and 98.6 proof, which would light any fire.

Pure stuff, however. No headache the next day. Granted I was in my prime and it might do me in for good at this point.

I don't understand why they did not put braces on his bottom teeth. Are there orthodontists in London?

He would be a cyclops if his eyes were closer together.

Not being mean but generally wondering, what on earth disease does he have to have sausage fingers? It is more than edema, I can tell you that for sure. It's not like edema on his ankles. His fingers are very short and his hands are red and swollen, always. Not from traveling.

Different sausages and ground-meat products are named after the German-speaking cities where they originated.

Ground pork entrails stuffed into an intestine originated in Frankfurt, hence was called a frankfurter..

Griound beef flattened into round discs came from Hamburg, hence hamburger.

Smoked sauage combining pork and beef was popular in Vienna (Wien), hence was called wiener.

And a thick sausage made from ground and spiced liver was popular in Braunschweig, hence was called braunschweiger -- what we call liverwurst in US English.

The old-fashioned British way of translitering the name of the city f Braunschweig was to call it Brunswick.

Charles' ancestoea from from Brunswick/Braunschweig, hence are braunschqeigers.

The dumbass Limeys allowed the New Jersey guidos who now own the brand to take a perfectly good and inexpensive British dry gin like Boodles (Winston Churchill's favorite gin) and change the recipe about 12 years ago. Apparently, it sucks now.

They had no business antagonizing the Germans in 1914 and set up the debacle which was WW2, losing their ass and empire in the process.

Watch Chuck Triple Eye's speech. He cannot bend his fingers to turn the pages of his speech. Maybe I never noticed before as I was not tuned in, or the cameras did not show. He could barely turn the pages. No mobility or bending at all.

"Now, King Charles doesn't come in here itching for a fight on it. He comes in with his position to be above it a bit and in his you know, very British, stiff upper lip kind of way." -- Curtis Houck

No, that doesn't mean dry or droll or snide or passive-aggressive or any of those things. It means stoic in the face of stress, as opposed to with quivering lips!

Normal people -- who have average IQs and don't know all the things -- are perfectly fine, because they don't pretend to be anything else. When these partially-educated soulless midwits preen and pose as our intellectual and moral superiors, that's when they become utterly despicable, and frankly lucky that you can't punch through a screen -- especially when they're simultaneously flubbing colloquialisms.

Today's raids by state and federal law enforcement happened because our state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported it. That's how the system is supposed to work, and our agencies will keep at it as long as there are fraudsters around to put behind bars.

Note that Stephen Miller does not, in fact, call the Somali Pirate Plunder Operation the "Gddmn Ilhan Omar fraud operation," as this tweet misquotes him.

However, he is quite direct in painting this as the greatest plunder of American wealth in all of history.

23 And the MN Dems are trying to punish cities/counties who refuse to fly the new MN "Somali" flag instead of the old one. From Alpha News:

----------------------
A group of DFL lawmakers introduced legislation that would essentially compel Minnesota cities and counties to fly the new state flag. The new flag, which has become a political dividing-line in Minnesota, has been rejected by many localities throughout the state.

Introduced this week, HF 5077 would require state government to reduce a county or city’s local government aid (LGA) amount by 10 percent if that locality flies any flag other than the new flag. LGA is distributed by the state government to localities across Minnesota.

In 2023, Democrats created a 13-member commission to redesign the Minnesota state flag and seal. That commission eventually unveiled a new flag and seal design. However, the new designs were never formally approved by the voters or the state legislature.

128 Totally aside from the massive fraud:

The Somalis are the main practitioners of "Female Circumcision" -- more properly called "Female Genital Mutilation" -- and for that reason alone we should not allow anyone from that part o the world into the US. We're importing the worst imaginable cultural practice, which still goes on here in the Somali community "sub rosa" (though with the tacit approval of the Democrats).

Just in case anyone doesn't fully grasp what this is all about:

The fatwas and ruling from the Muslim clerics who sanction FGM overtly state that the purpose of the practice is to prevent female from experiencing sexual pleasure. Why do such a thing? Well, they say: If women's like sex, then they'll cheat on us, because all me in our culture are terrible in bed. So the only way they can keep their women from straying is to literally cut off their clitorises. Which is exactly what "FGM" entails. Actually, that's just step 1 -- step 2 is to literally sew the vagina shut.

Somali culture is the most barbaric, backward, insecure, misongynistic and just plain ol' horrible culture on Earth.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at April 28, 2026 03:36 PM (looXz)


"Woke Right" can mean whatever you want it to, since it's inherently contradictory and has no logically coherent meaning. I originally encountered it in a context that implied Worldies were trying to slur nationalists as 'woke'

I will probably not do their thesis justice because I disagree with it, but it appeared to be something like this: if you prefer to enforce national boundaries and social norms, to preserve your people's distinctiveness, to not be swamped and effectively erased like Amerindians, then that's just like being a race-discriminating DEI wokester. /sarc

However, due to the inherent meaninglessness of the term, the apparently intended meaning didn't really catch on. Instead, an informal consensus gelled around meaning the (national) socialists and wackadoos of the nominal right, who are exhibiting at least some of the symptoms of wokeness, such as Jew-hatred and NPC narrative pivots.

So far just typical Hollywood script stuff. Mark and his wife offered to pay for the woman to have an abortion. Guess they didn't want their son Nathan to be burdened by responsibility. From the way she describes it, they were pretty forceful in their attempts.

But she went ahead with the pregnancy and gave birth to a baby boy. And now she is threatening to sue Gary of Nerdrotic for calling her a stripper.

Agree with all of that. Was a big fan of Lindsay until he started with using the "Right" goodie bag stuff.

The fact is that only the "left" is defined: Marxists and pro-revolutionary radicals for some form of ideology.

The fascists are "right" of that, but only because they disagree on whether the "Dictatorship (In The Name) of the Proletariat" should dissolve into a "stateless" commune forever and ever, Amen.

However, because Engels turns out to be a weasel on "state", a "withered state" could actually have a government, it would just have to decide that it was no longer enforcing oppression of the people who should not be oppressed.

And I don't think Gentile's ideology could have much to clash about there, as long as the State, as actor, stays.

Fascism is functional, Marxism is theory.

"Right of Marx purism" is not the same thing as "right". And also, disliking Marx, for "Jewishness" or whatever, is nowhere near small-government constitutionalism.

We really shouldn't be saddled with how diverse non-Marxists "reformed" their countries, simply because we're trying to preserve our culture.

198 I'm very disappointed in Italy.

But since the war (11!), Italy has been a basket case. It was always a fractured nation and that is partially a strength, but also makes it very vulnerable.

They are beholden to the EU, and have been since the start -- I think they mostly went along with EU because they wanted good governance, but that was foolish. They went along with net zero (starting with Kyoto) because they had no choice. Now they go along with the migration madness because they need the EU to help - if they refuse, the EU will punish them by flooding them with migrants and any that enter will not be able to move on to Germany or wherever. They do not have resources to stop the flood on their own, so they go along.

It is a shame. The Euro crushed Italy (by design.) Kyoto crushed Itlay (by design.) Open borders crushed Italy (by design.) France wants no competition on the cultural side, Germany wants none on the industrial side, and Italy is too poorly governed to go it alone. The EU has been a disaster for them.

Your post made me look up how FGM women are able to give birth.......something I always wondered about. Gross beyond words:

Muslim women who have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), particularly type III (infibulation), often require deinfibulation, a procedure to open the scarred, sealed vaginal area. This is typically performed by doctors antenatally or during labor to allow for vaginal birth, reducing risks of obstruction, tearing, and severe bleeding.

Europe are like siblings that actually hate each other. Each country is trying to fuck the other, and they do themselves more damage trying.

Most of what goes on there is from each one trying to backstab the others. In doing this, they try to lever external resources (countries, trading partners, allies, etc.) to get a leg up on the other. Germany was in league with the Russians. France tried to be "leader of the arab world" as they said.

I have heard that France pushed for the Libya war to remove Italy's energy advantage. (I am not 100% convinced on this.) and Germany pushed for open borders because they were successful in working with Turks, and thought that as the industrial base of the continent they would have lots more customers and weaker neighbors if they were all flooded with migrants.

They are like that book "God's little Acre." (anybody read that? it is about sibling hate.) That is why they are dying.

No live coverage, no streaming, not even sketches for fear of doxxing via face recognition.

There will only be nine media representatives in the courtroom.

Posted by: Anna Puma

----------
The weak Lira was their only asset -- it allowed them to deal with fraud by inflating it away and still able to export

There was great discussion about this before they joined. The optimists said that with the EU, they would have good government so no problem. The realists said that they would lose their ability to export and be swamped by Germany.

ANyone with eyes could see that the whole Euro project was intra-continent colonialism.

"Objective" "Journalists" Chuck Todd & Chris Cilizza: It's Donald Trump's Fault That Our Friends Keep Trying to Kill Him, "Chaos Follows Him" and it Makes Us Unsafe If We're "In His Orbit" When the Next Leftist We Programmed to Kill Takes a shot

The sheer narcissism, offered without an atom of self-awareness.

They keep sending their fellow shitlibs to shoot rifles at Trump, and then whine that they're in danger when shitlib bullets start flying, and it's Trump's fault because the Secret Service focuses on protecting the President of the United States rather than shitlib "journalists" who might be in the vicinity (and egging on the assassin).


He also claims that Trump never provided him with protection when Trump said mean things about the press, which he claims caused people to "come after him."

Number of assassination attempts on Chris Cilizza and Chuck Todd, combined: Zero

Number of assassination attempts on anyone in the antifa press corps: Zero, though antifa routinely beats conservative reporters hard enough to give them bleeding concussions

It's weird, no one's in any danger at a Barack Obama speech. Because people on the right aren't trying to kill him, and no one on the right is instructing assassins to kill him.

Unbelievable. I'm nearly speechless.

This is true.

It's only about winning the next 12 hours of coverage on CNN.

Doesn't matter if Trump is still deporting at higher levels than any president since Eisenhower. The media is saying Trump is a poopy head at a high enough level to get attention.

Doesn't matter that Iran is pulling rusted tankers out of mothballs to fill with oil because they can't export anymore. The media is saying that Trump brought on his own attempted assassination at 115 decibels.

The obsession with narrative is the only overriding tactic the left has anymore.

And I said "No duh that the target is more proximal".

Remember that "victim" is status in the unthinking world. They will resist all attempts to lend that status to Trump. But they cannot deny that Trump was the *target* of violence, much like a woman who wears a short skirt is the *target* of rape.

Yes, it's only 4 million people tuning in, but it's people who only get their news from such sources. They don't get it from X.

People who were getting their news from X were well aware of the Hunter laptop, for instance, real time as the story was being suppressed.

The people reliant on CBS news never heard it except that it was crazy.

Getting those 4 million to say, "Wait...Democrats did a bad thing?" is much more impactful than engage Republicans on social media screaming about how Twitter won't let them share news stories with the like minded.

162 Remember Trump's "dark" inauguration speech in 2017, where he talked about decentralization of Washington (which is why I think DC-ers thought of it as "dark")

Just like a fascist to de-centralize power, right!

Oh, no. That would be fascist because it would stop the left from doing what it wants to do with centralized power!

Obama already spoke and thinks that he should be making the decisions about how the Little Sisters of the Poor and Hobby Lobby compensate their employees.

Deciding which of decisions that was formerly yours to make that they should allow you to keep making, that's a key dynamic in fascism. The State decides what it will decide.

169 Peter Girnus 🦅
@gothburz
Apr 27
I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.

The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.

A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.

Everything else was improvised.

I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you [ . . .]

Posted by: Kindltot at April 28, 2026 03:56 PM (rbvCR)

170 [ . . . ] The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor.
I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.

What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.

I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.

She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.

The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest [ . . . ]

The tech industry just laid off thousands of guys with shiny CS degrees and a hell of a lot more experience than him. He has no future. I wonder how much student loan debt he had? Probably a lot. So he decides to kill himself but can't actually pull the trigger. Ah, but if he gets killed while trying to kill Literally Hitler (or at least a henchman or two) he dies an absolute Hero. That he tripped over his own feet and gets arrested alive is his worst nightmare. But he isn't the only loser doom-scrolling hatred on Bluesky.

Prior to Musk buying Twitter and it basically being owned by the federal government, Twitter was the narrative machine for the news media. It's impossible to overstate the fundamental difference it has made now that it is an open platform where facts and opinions other than approved deep state dreck is exchanged and how fast leftist narratives die there.

He goofed while yapping about peace of religious harmony: he said to turn plowshares to swords. Peace biblically is the opposite. There was sort of a stunned silence. heh. hic

Otherwise no mention of Climate Change yet...ah, at the end, "nature." Drink!

During a bit of the Magna Carta/Supreme Court rulings he mentioned executive power's checks and balances...looking snidely at the Dim section. Aha.

Nanzi Pelousi seems to be wearing an exoskeleton and upright. The Dims can actually stand and clap hands, the arse wipes.

He seems at times to have problems turning pages with his sausage fingers.

There is some reference to NATO without saying NATO on our great alliance. Their own Navy is barely sailing. Mentions 9/11 and now mentioning NATO Article 5. I reckon we will help if Russia invades the UK...oh, crap, he mentions Youcrane.

Nanzi nearly seized during her clapping.She is dressed in lavender, I guess as a minor royal in her vodka soaked mind.

214 There's a reason I can't label Tucker was "Woke Right". Because it's part of his journey that started with recruiting liberals like Greenwald and Schellenberg to start working on "common ground".

It was his appeal on Rogan's show that he called Hiroshima "pure Evil", and said nobody can deny it. As he started appealing to the center and lefties that would have a civil conversation with him--as he moved center, he gained an anti-war critique on the "Right".

So, to the extent he has adopted "identity politics", it hasn't been on a rightward vector, but a leftward one.

Right now, I can't figure out if he's saying that Kamala should be president because he apologized for supporting Trump.

We need to abandon the goodie bag "Right", because the progs are always trying to stick companions there that do NOT want to conserve law and order, and a non-racially-purified new land.

Trump didn't have a single media oulet on his side, not even Fox, in either election. He communicated largely through social media. He thought so much of it he didn't buy CBS when Twitter banned him, he built his own.

Social media is the great leveler because anyone's opinion can be heard and if it's good enough it gets amplified. It's nice that Weiss has been installed at CBS but it is still controlled media. 60 minutes is still CBS.

They tried to break Musk when he bought Twitter. Nobody tried to stop the Ellisons from buying CBS.

OPEC's days were numbered in Trump's first term when energy dominance became possible from America.

Russia getting bogged down in Ukraine, Trump getting re-elected, Venezuela becoming an American vassal state, and then Iran's ability to terrorize the Middle East being knocked back just re accelerated what Biden's term had slowed.

Despised Obungo, but never wanted him killed as he would have been martyred.The worst I hoped for was his limp-wristed self to prancercise down the stairs of AF1 so I could laugh.

Mocked and looked on with disgust at Biden, felt he was evil (his goat eyes). Possibly that he was sometimes hiding behind a feeble demeanor to protect him in the end. Never wanted him killed, just wanted him to go away. I did often want a fall down the stairs of AF1, but he fell up the stairs instead before the little stairs of the plane were used with his special shoes.

This divides us from the insane Dims who scream in unison, as they have no imagination at all: Orange Man, fascist, Nazi, rapist, racist. While hoping for President Trump's death.Literal witches casting spells. And this is why I pray every night for his protection...that all plans against him and others in his cabinet fail in this wall of protection.

That actually gels well with the theory of Robert Owen, Scottish Industrialist who started the New Harmony commune (of Marx's communism) original meaning of "socialism". A word Owen coined.

Society is responsible for all human ills.

As I think about it solving the whole "problem" of "society" is more in keeping with 20th-century "liberalism" than Marxian revolution. And all the conversations I've had with "liberals" over decades.

Owen's commune was to fix "society" by footing the bill, thus shielding commune members against scarcity, so as to reform "society".

I think the mixture comes as Marx observes Owen's "failure to make communes compulsory" and other Marxists noticing that advancing Owenism can help destabilizing the free market dependency.

Chuck DID throw a few bones to the Dims. I saw it. Not totally horrific but obvious. Nor did he praise Trump. Threw in a bit of our actions vs words (I reckon because we have scared Iran into their begging cups). I don't care Chuck!

He also DID throw in some words of Christianity, which I initially thought good as that is rare. Then had to ruin that by other religions to tolerate and merg (I think he did this as it is suspected he is praying to Mecca).

I am mostly interested in seeing what Lady Melania wears at each event. Which I realize is not the point.

His speech was measured and united.
His own begging cup may be out eventually if Russia joins Iran and continues to encroach into Europe. Somehow, though, I think Russia is depleted from the Youcrane and little z as they conscript old men to fight. I could be wrong.

Virginia Supreme Court Denies Democrat Motion to Impose Gerrymandered Map During the Hearings Over Its Legality
Comey Indicted for Threating Trump's Life with "8645" Post?

This is not a final order. But the Democrats wanted to implement the illegal map during the period when the Virginia Supreme Court is considering it, and the Virginia Supreme Court refused.

A court's refusal to grant these interlocutory and injunctive motions often, but not always, tips the way the court imagines the ultimate ruling will go.

Let's do a two-in-one: Reports say that James Comey has been re-indicted -- a leftwing judge quashed the last one -- for his "8645" Instagram post, which seems to be an incitement to murder Trump.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

BREAKING: @FoxNews colleague @davidspunt reports that former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted again in relation to his "8647" seashell post on Instagram last year.

I don't know if anyone really gets arrested or imprisoned for inciting a murder of Trump -- Obama, sure, but not Trump. The leftwing media spends all day inciting murder.

The odds of conviction are better, I think, if they can cast this as a threat to kill Trump, but I don't know if that argument would win. If I say that someone should take out James Comey, that's not me actually threatening him.

And by the way, I never would have said something like that, even as a hypothetical, before this week, but as the left is now engaged in open incitement of violence I'm done being super-careful about my own language.

"86" (eighty-six) is an American slang term meaning to get rid of, discard, cancel, or refuse service to someone. Originating in the 1930s, likely from restaurant or soda-fountain jargon, it is commonly used to indicate an item is out of stock or to eject an unruly customer.

10 "What this means in plain terms:

Jay Jones’ outside counsel from California asked the Court to allow the election process to proceed pending the rulings on the merits of the gerrymandering cases.

The Court said “no.” This stops the election from being certified for now.

The same Supreme Court that allowed the referendum to go forward in March, so voters could be heard, has now declined to override a final judgment finding the constitutional amendment process defective. Strong signal that process matters in Virginia.

The Attorney General asked the Court of Virginia to set aside a final order that exposed a ballot question he would not quote, an Article XII timeline he had to redefine, and a 1912 case that did not say what he needed it to say.

The Supreme Court said “no.”"

29 It would be funny as hell if the Democrats started the Great Gerrymanding Wars, but ultimately had all (or most) of their gerrymandering attempts blocked, while the Republicans's counter-attack gerrymandering responses all (or mostly) succeeded. So that ultimately the Dems LOSE seats as a result of the tit-for-tat gerrymandering.

Maybe that;'s already happening?

All we need to do is will until the 2030 census and the 2032 redistricting, when the 0.8-child-per-liberal-woman vs. the 1.6-children-per-conservative women demographic shift will finally become overwhelming, and the liberals will have aborted them themselves out of electoral relevance.

Democrats have become an urban party which means vast expanses of red country side and outer suburbs and a compact blob of blue around cities and university towns outside of cities surrounded by red.

And that in turn makes it sheer stupidity that the isolated blue citadels try to declare war on their surrounding red brethren. Even nukes don't help as Swalwell, the idiot mentioned once in passing. You destroy and poison your own food production in flyover country yet the number of reds in the sticks are so dispersed that using nukes is simply likely to piss them off.

Cities are far better locations for mass slaughter--disable food service, power, and water to a city, it dies incredibly soon.

An example of how they cook the books to absolve the Left of violence in the WSJ today: A graph it published that seems to show near parity between Left and Right wing political violence is sourced to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which by its own admission reclassified pro-Palestinian violence as "ethnonationalist". It classifies all antisemitism as Right-wing, and all pro-Palestinian "attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions" as "ethnonationalist." This is just nakedly partisan propaganda presented as "data" and then mainstreamed in the American press.

All the same, you can't say that Jefferson doesn't give Democrat ideologues breathing room and cover.

I don't contest anything you said, but all the same, it's not to assent to the idea that Dems hide out as "true champions of the Constitution" and it's just whether or not they can fool enough people--and probably will be until the last shovel of dirt is heaped on the grave of the Democratic Party.

That's all I'm saying about Jefferson. There is a good reason why you hire TJ to dash off a protest letter to the King, but use the leadership and deliberation of your namesake to helm the drafting of a basis of law.

There is a reason I think his Letter to Danbury Baptists is deeply flawed and no basis for judges to elaborate Constitutional positions from it.

That district judge on the order issued a thoroughly professional opinion where the VA Democrats violated SEVEN provisions of the VA Constitution and VA statutory law regarding referendums and redistricting.

Judge had already issued the injunction before the vote that was set aside in March to allow voting for the referendum to occur making those points in the preliminary injunction.

This was just redoing his old homework putting the VA Sup Ct on the spot of either declaring Calvinball law rules in VA (Delaware is paying the price for that in corporate law) or following the law which means the referendum is mort this go around.

I doubt it.

Comey should be indicted for this. He should be indicted for lying under oath and leaking, when he said that he only released his "notes" to his personal attorney (while agreeing with a Dem Congressman that he released his notes to get Mueller appointed, knowing he can't square those two statements).

He should be indicted for fraud on a FISA application. So we can put some teeth behind the idea that this is not your trial to run on some target, where you make a fleeting gesture at providing exculpatory evidence.

There should be controls on "ex-parte trials" or there should be NO "ex-parte trials" at all.

I entertain that it would be justified for Trump to suspend all FISA applications on the basis of the "Ensure" clause.

To be fair, Jefferson looked at it as a political battle as both he and James Madison tried to end the established state church of Virginia. Like its English predecessor, non Anglicans/Episcopalians were taxed to support church buildings and personnel that were not of their choosing.

Jefferson was not wearing his lawyer hat but his politician one when he wrote that letter. If you notice, he did nothing about it as president but wrote a private letter to old political supporters for use in Virginia politics to help end the established church.

In his actual law career primarily dealing with property law, he was actually pretty damn good and his argument on appointment law that it had to be delivered to be in effect in Marbury is probably more sound based on contract law than Marshall's opinion. Marshall used logical deduction but no precedent, Jefferson used common law of contracts which had lengthy precedents attached.

I dislike him personally after reading Dumas Malone's biography (all six volumes) and various other direct writings of Jefferson himself and other biographies on specific instances (like his flight from the British as governor).

But yet, I find him an exceptional politician, his legal reasoning on cases is better than the more celebrated John Marshall's, and he was able to put aside his own prejudices as president to do things like the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expeditions. His founding of UVa was also notable along with his service in the Continental Congress and the revolt against King George III.

Personally, I dislike the guy, as a politician and statesman, he did pretty damn good. And he did sign the ban on importing new slaves in 1808 without which, our problems would be much greater today.

Whig. I've always agreed with that assessment.

But you can't help get around that in that open, political posturing letter, he flipped what people at the time would think of as "their legislature".

As a late-in-life-separatist, myself, I don't disparage Jefferson for his stance as much as I used to. Nonetheless, he equivocates on what people chose for their federal legislature. By and large, it was no power to interfere with the religious powers claimed by the state.

What Madison and Jefferson accomplished in Virginia, notwithstanding.

It is a political posture that we have been paying for in the form of the the left's siege walls of separation.

158 He threatened to assassinate a President. Or so they say. Anyway, it's the seriousness of the charge that counts, I'm told.

Order him to be held without bail pending the trial, in a federal penitentiary, in the general population with criminals his FBI put away.

I doubt it would help. They only bitch about what they want to bitch about.

It's part of internalizing your politics in emotional narratives. "Yeah, but California was WRONG!" is probably your most likely response.

They don't have to follow the rules and limitations because that only allows "evil" to fester. If you were ever to suggest not following the rules and limitations, it just shows how evil you are. It's how we keep the game fair, or something.

Harvard Harris, one of the better pollsters from 2024, released their big poll of the season earlier today.

1. Kamala has a full 50% of support in the Democrat party primary. A full 65% from black voters. Newsom has about 20%.

2. The generic congressional ballot is...50/50.

If the GCB is really going to be 50/50, there's a better chance of Republicans winning the MI senate race AND the GA senate race than of Democrats winning the NC senate race.

Now you see the reality.

For the Democrats to gerrymaner a state, they need to draw insane boundaries.

For the GOP to "gerrymander" a state, all they need to do is just restore the obvious and natural boundaries that should have been there in the first place.

In other words, what the GOP does is actually anti-gerrymandering, because the natural and obvious district boundaries will favor them 90% of the time.

Yep because the Democrat voting coalition is two groups of people that famously and really noticeably don't live near each other, and very few outside of them, namely:

- Rich white AWFULs
- Black people

Not dumb Q at all.
There's a specific SCOTUS case on that, no election law changes before a pending election.
Recently the TX redistricting case set (for now) that "pending" as roughly 90 days before the election.

They stayed the judges injunction on the new maps in December as the primary election was set for March; allowing the new maps to go into effect.

That's why VA is pushing so hard to get these maps in place now--and why the delay could be fatal.
VA starts early voting for the general in September.
Meaning late June.
And they still have to hold their primaries for the "new" districts. Which, I think, have to be completed a required number of days before the General.

When street gangs are your "political opposition" and they are out there with the motto "kill, rape, control"... that's not a good thing for your opposition to claim.

But this is how progs bundle arguments. They need to get to a list, whether it's on target or not.

301 @272 284 I think it would take about a nanosecond for a court to slap down the EO returning Arlington to DC. Even if the Constitution provided for it, there have been almost 170 years since Virginia took the land back when no one challenged it. I don't know of any legislation that PDT could point to that would justify it, and a lot of legislation where Congress has assumed that the land and people belong to Virginia.

Now, if Congress were to pass a law, that would be a very different story.

Personally, I'd rather see DC reduced down to the area from the Washington Monument to the Capital, including the White House, and give the rest of it to Maryland.

Every single county in Massachusetts voted for Kamala over Trump in 2024, with only a single county (Bristol) even being close. If there aren't sufficiently large geographic areas where Republican voters dominate, then there won't be any Congressional districts won by Republicans even without gerrymandering. A cursory glance at a map of Massachusetts Congressional districts shows some gerrymandering but relatively mild.

Fauci Advisor David Morens -- Whom Biden Forgot to Pardon -- Arrested and Charged for Conspiracy and Destruction of Federal Records Related to Fauci's COVID Cover-Up
Update! Is Peter Daszak Next?!

There are dozens of criminals Biden's Autopen Autocrats were too incompetent to pardon. Arrest and jail them all.


Dr. David M. Morens, a former top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci, was arrested and charged Tuesday with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in one of the first cases to allege a cover-up in the COVID-19 pandemic.

The charges -- brought by the FBI, Justice Department and the U.S. Health and Human Services inspector general -- allege the former senior scientific adviser at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Fauci led for 38 years, committed conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.

Morens, 78, of Chester, Md., served as a senior advisor in NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 through 2022, the year Fauci retired.

...

The filing of the charges was immediately praised by two powerful investigative chairmen in Congress who had alleged Morens was destroying records and using private email to keep information about the coronavirus and its origins from Congress.

"More than two years ago, my PSI staff discovered and made public emails in which Dr. David Morens bragged to colleagues about his efforts to avoid transparency by destroying federal records and using his personal email to communicate on 'sensitive issues,'" said Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

...

"The House Oversight Committee's Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic uncovered evidence revealing Dr. Morens -- a top advisor to Dr. Fauci -- intentionally took action to conceal and falsify records about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic," Comer said. "We caught Dr. Morens red-handed as he boasted in emails about how the 'FOIA lady' coached him on how to hide records and cover-up information. I applaud the Trump Justice Department for taking action to hold this public official accountable for hiding information from the American people. No one is above the law and under the Trump Administration, overdue accountability is finally here."

I believe Morens bragged about deliberately misspelling key words in emails so that when his records were subpoenaed -- and remember, when records are subpoenaed, only those records containing keywords approved by a judge are actually searched for, so if you deliberately misspell "COVID" as "CVOID" it won't be found -- his nefarious schemes to bury evidence that COVID was created by his pals at the Wuhan lab wouldn't be found.

The indictment alleges that Morens:

Conspired with two others during the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud and commit several offenses against the United States after NIH terminated a grant called Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence based on allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.

Conspired with others to restore the termination of the bat coronavirus grant and counter the narrative that COVID-19 leaked from a lab.

Agreed in writing to intentionally hide from public view their communications by corresponding using Morens's personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH email account.

Received a gratuity in the form of wine for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," and identified an official act that he could perform to "deserve" the gift, which was a scientific commentary in a prominent medical journal advocating that COVID-19 had natural origins.

Update: Charging document here, if you want to give it a once-over.

Update!: Fauci's butt-buddy in corruption, Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth who was used as a cut-out to illegally fund the Wuhan lab, is almost certainly the man the indictment calls "CO-CONSPIRATOR," and should be the next to be arrested and charged.

The plenary power of the president to pardon is so unquestioned and clear in the Constitution any challenge to it is going to be...difficult.

When it comes to the pardons of the last couple of days of Biden's presidency, well, he was around. "Yes, I authorized the use of the autopen for that," will be all he'd need to say.

There are a handful of uses of the autopen from when he was on vacation that would easier to target for challenge, but those last minute ones would be a waste of time and money to challenge in court.

46 I saw a post on Farcebook where someone said, "The best part of being a conspiracy theorist is not getting Myocarditis."

And there were a number of responses along the lines of, "Well I got the covid vaccine and I don't have Myocarditis either!"

But this sort of misses the forest for the trees. The argument was a high percentage of people that did not get the clot shot would die from COVID, in addition to spreading it to their unvaccinated friends, leading to a mass die off. This was the argument the government used for its mandates.

And yet the pure bloods are still here...and with a much lower rate of Myocarditis then the clot shotted...

63 There is no such things as a "whatever" pardon.

The president does have the unlimited ability to pardon someone but...only for whatever charge is being made.

Fauci wasn't under investigation at the time, and Biden didn't say in any form he was pardoning Fauci for fraud, lying about, or creating COVID.

So no, his pardon does not cover him.

Similarly, Hunter's Biden can cover him from the gun, tax, and perhaps drug crimes he was accused of at the time, but he could and should be charged for the underage girls he was having sex with in the videos on his laptop.

Posted by: ShainS at April 28, 2026 01:25 PM (VdTX+)

======

The plenary power of the president to pardon is so unquestioned and clear in the Constitution any challenge to it is going to be...difficult.

When it comes to the pardons of the last couple of days of Biden's presidency, well, he was around. "Yes, I authorized the use of the autopen for that," will be all he'd need to say.

There are a handful of uses of the autopen from when he was on vacation that would easier to target for challenge, but those last minute ones would be a waste of time and money to challenge in court.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
-------
Not necessary, as of caselaw right now, presidential pardons do not apply to states (litigation involving Tina Peters is slowly ascending there). So any state can probably dig up enough charges on state grounds for Fauci to spend the rest of his life in court (see Palko v. CT) along with state civil lawsuits to bankrupt the bastard.

When one constitutional provision seems to close a door, you often can open a window to achieve much of the same purpose.

Art thou not from the South originally? I thought you were.

My Long Island husband has been "fixin'"to do stuff since the first year we were married. We have swapped words. His first word to teach me was "douchebag" which I still think is one of the most perfect words I know (and it still makes me laugh when he says it).

It was fate for us to meet out West. A crazy fate, however, yet it was written in the stars and why I rarely dated in HS and my first two years of college. He was on the distant horizon.

The one Southern saying I neve heard of until a few years ago was, "Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit." Too vulgar for my refined upbringing!

94 Interesting crow activity here too, ace. All spring, crows harass some big raptor (not a redtail hawk, those haven't been seen in a long time and it's presumed this other bird, possibly a Coopers hawk, has driven them out - though the new raptor is smaller than a Coopers hawk .... bit of a mystery). As if they have nests nearby, which they must.

But the more interesting crow activity, which seems to have stopped for now - every dusk, there's a giant massed flight of crows westward towards the coast. Passes right by/over me. Sometimes some of them will stop here - power lines and roofs are covered with them, it's like "The Birds". Then all at once off they go.

The numbers are impressive. When the stream doesn't pause, it goes on for a few minutes, hundreds of crows. WTF with all that? Should really look into it. Neighbors and friends talk about it too.

Some crows locally will make a rookery of sorts in the hills, and commute back and forth evening and night to the river. I call them the commuters. An old-timer told me a story about wandering into one of those groups at dusk during deer season, said it was really eerie.
I think they split into pairs during the spring to nest and forage, and get together in the fall - they mate for life, or at least until one of them dies.
The other thing is that the yearling crows have a sort of wandering period where they go off in adolescent packs to go be stupid and learn to survive, and then go back to the group when they settle down a bit

I hate the squirrel that showed up uninvited 8yrs ago to our feeder in the backyard. I've been known to go out onto the deck like a madwoman and yell at it.

Currently we have red finch nesting in a hanging basket on the front porch. My husband likes them better than me and I can't put our furniture out there for weeks or til his four eggs hatch and fly away. I think that's the rule this week. He has just about driven them insane, these poor birds, so I hope some of them hatch. There's a bird camera on them (this is the latest from last weekend).

Things have settled down for them and they are content along with the man I married. I kept waiting for the parent birds to peck his eyes out.

At one point, thinking he was helping, he put the hanging basket on a chain for a merry carnival ride spin. I think that's when she laid the fourth egg. If any are normal it will be a miracle.

130 98 75 63 There is no such things as a "whatever" pardon.

The president does have the unlimited ability to pardon someone but...only for whatever charge is being made.

That is not the history of pardons going way back to the Whiskey Rebellion and before that royal usage which is how the president got the pardon power in the first place.

The rules are generally that you can be very specific about the person or very specific about the event (aka Jan 6 or Vietnam draft evaders) so that the courts can know who is pardoned and who is not.

The pardon power is a circuit breaker given our Constitution is based on negative, government shalt no do...., liberties. And the view is that an executive provides a means of mercy for those that the law convicts but are morally not guilty. And a means of reconciling society in mass pardons rather than stirring the pot.

What an idiot.
Posted by: Frank Barone

As someone who used to work with big data back in the day and databases, the easiest way to hide something is make it something that cannot be indexed properly by known techniques. Inserting junk data. E.g. change your facts up on any birthdates, address, phone numbers, emails, etc. on each big data non government submission (warranties, sweepstakes, etc.) which can make it much harder to determine by Big Data that you are the same person to target. Even inserting illegal characters and bad handwriting can do that as well.

Posted by: ace


Feeder? No feeder will attract a crow.

To get specific:

Get a heavy ceramic or baked-clay dish/bowl. What I used was the bottom round "water-catching tray" (not sure if there's a separate name for them) from a standard red clay plant-growing pot. But anything random will do, as low as it's fairly heavy and has side walls 2 inches or more high. (I'm being too detailed on this trivial detail - -basically, get a big dish.)

Put the dish somewhere very visible and elevated, preferably on a flat stable surface.

Put into the dish about a cups's worth of dry puppy chow, cat chow or dog chow with smallish pieces.

Sprinkle a few random puppy chow bits around the dish.

Wait. Crows will come.

I told him she was not allowed for any holiday meals. And that I did not want to see her til the New Year. Plus she'd have to meet with me in private for answers to questions. That ran her off for good to think about meeting privately with me.

I then announced that I had to go to the loo for what turned out was the rest of the day.

=====

The best part of the FL redistricting is that the new map is more constitutional (regarding the state's founding document) than the current one.

It's more compact, with more sensibly designed districts, and still balances the requirements around partisanship and race.

There's another map going around from Democrats that creates a blue district from Jacksonville to Tallahassee that Democrats are calling fair.

Party whips and a large majority allow them to do that. If the GOP had a 240-195 majority in the House, they could do the same thing. Defectors get hammered and closets as offices on the top floor of the Cannon House Office Building and no calls returned.

Same with GOP in the Senate which is why the leaders try to sabotage to keep it under 55 for either side. You don't have mavericks much in large majorities as that costs a person. Narrow majorities lead to members of Congress leading their best lives as traitors and defectors claiming principle. Good protection for the corrupt as well.

The fun part about this is the stated reason for VA, that they must begin the primaries.

Which, I presume, under law (ha! now they want to follow the law) requires a certain number of days for the primary campaign, for run-off and all must be completed such number of days before the General starts, which IIRC, is September in VA.

The government's notional majority was 213, but 41 members who normally supported the government voted with the Opposition, while an estimated 60 other Conservatives deliberately abstained. The government still won the vote by 281 to 200, but its majority was reduced to 81.

Super Advanced Grandmaster Crow--Luring Technique, if they don't show up after a week:

Fill a lidded bottle/jar/can about 1/3 of the way with the puppy chow. Go out on your deck and loudly shake it so the rattling sound can be heard around the neighborhood. Then very grandiosely, with big arm movements, pour (or just pretend to pout) some of the kibble into the dish. Then re-cap the bottle and shake it again.

Do this repeatedly, once a day. The crows will get curious.

DOJ Lear Somali Pirates a Lesson, Raiding 22 Pirate Plunder Operations in Tim Walz's Third World Hell-Hole of Minneapolis

BREAKING: DOJ confirms to @FoxNews
that FBI and HSI agents are currently raiding 20+ locations in the Minneapolis, MN area in relation to ongoing federal fraud investigations. Sources tell FOX the locations are largely Somali linked businesses, including the infamous "Quality Learning Center". I'm told these are court approved search warrants being served and they are tied to fraud, not immigration enforcement. Fox is told 22 search warrants were executed in Minnesota this morning.

DOJ spokesperson holding statement:

"Today the FBI with federal, state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation."

Brigitte Gabriel
@ACTBrigitte

1h

🚨 FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents executed 22 court-approved search warrants at more than 20 locations in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area.

The operations targeted primarily Somali-linked businesses, including the Quality Learning Center, as part of an ongoing federal fraud investigation into the misuse of U.S. taxpayer dollars in childcare assistance programs.


Good Tuesday afternoon, Ladies, Gentlemen, and garrett.

Foreign pirates are being raided, and that makes it a good day.

It occurred to me this morning that there was also a lot of assassination-chic in trendy circles when George W. Bush was President - as I recall, there was a novel about it that got lots of favorable reviews, as well as the usual round of "jokes" by Leftist comedians.

The D's have been at this for twenty-five years when a Republican is President.

I read a handful of Portland leftists on Bluesky, and several of them have reposted fantasies about the nationwide celebrations that will occur when The Bad Orange Man kicks the bucket.

Thinking that a Republican President deserves death is increasingly a mainstream Democratic position.

Because its not about stopping fraud. MN has a much smaller incidence of this fraud than either Texas or Florida, in fact a sitting republican from Florida is one of the biggest medicare fraudsters in the country

So are the feds investigating anything the state wasn't already doing, or are they just joining open investigations from the state so they can take credit and claim the state wasn't actually doing anything?

I thought sending in 3,000 ICE agents was supposed to take care of all of this?

this is probably all for the cameras to create news to get the disastrous war and Epstein scandals off the front page. Trump hates Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, so it’s possible Keystone Kash is just kicking us to make his boss happy so he won’t get fired.

This is called "lying by extraneous inclusion"

1) that's not the crime you're accused of committing. You're accused of fraudulently concealing that you were funding racists and fomenting racists posting and events
2) it's already established you worked with the FBI. But you said "the DOJ" (in your filing) not "the FBI." And, no matter, that doesn't elevate you to a full law enforcement entity.
3) and how much did you disclose to the DOJ? Your filing only say that you let the DOJ know you used confidential informants.
Again, that's not what you are accused of doing.

I think every Bureau/Department/Office in FedGov has a militarized wing. Probably the second largest standing army in the world, if taken together. At one time, certain militarized sections were stockpiling millions of rounds of ammo. Motor pools filled with MRAPS excessed by the Army and snatched up for free.

I don't think those have been disbanded. If they have, it was done without much fanfare.

Catching it and doing something about it are not the same thing, dolt.

It is the difference between "activity" and "accomplishment". You think the former are sufficient, worthy of high praise, and stepping stones to advancement.

Smoke and mirrors and bullshit -- that is your world of "accomplishment". That is why you wet your pants for Shrillary, for Red Kammie, and for countless other nullities who are hard pressed merely to tie their shoes each day.

Just get the fook out of the way and let folks with the gumption actually do things, accomplish things. You lackwits are enthralled with the doings of layabouts and thieves, to the detriment of the rest of us.

189 I ran across an interesting thread of Farcebook.

Someone posts, "I hate capitalism, I don't want to work, I want to make art and spend time in my garden"

Some guy named Kostos Moros responds, "Then go do that instead of working for someone else. Or do you mean you want someone else to be forced to work to provide you food, goods, and services while you do your art?"

And Hannah Cox, yes the DC buttsechs girls from 20 years ago responds, "See capitalists just want a slave class they can force to work"

And the fascinating part of this is both Cox and the original poster just assume there are free goods and services laying around to be "distributed" to them.

Now, I'm an experience 29 year old and I too am sick of working. But the reason I have to is Musk or Bezos making me do it - its the that the government has taken half or more of what I've earned year in and year out. Give us a government the size of say 1886 America and I would have retired years ago.

Their asylum claims are bullshit now. Honestly Somalia could be a pretty awesome vacation area. If they invested some of this stolen money in shit like sewage plants and water facilities.
They all need to be sent back with all this quality learing they got and help turn their Somalia into the world powerhouse it was destined to be. I have great faith that America's money was well spent and they can now safely enter and improve their homeland.

There is some D&D art I saw with a village having a multi-racial dance party (as in elves, tieflings, dwarves, etc) with a lot of GHEY GHEY GHEY and in the background a happy Beholder.

My first thought was, ok Globohomo owns D&D now, but then it did make me wonder, Beholders have mind control powers, are evil, and like screwing with people - maybe this actually is a transgressive take on Globohomo?

Part of it is also that you flavor senses change as you get older (taste buds decline as you get older.) Some people also develop an aversion to spicy because of digestion.

For myself, I still have a sweet tooth, but I always hated marshmallow flavor or molasses. The sweetness tastes off. And spicy wise, I have always seen 'so hot you can't taste anything' to be pointless anyway. Give me interesting, flavorful spicy, not ashen taste buds.

Maybe Walz will go with them, he might as well as there will be hell waiting in gen pop. Maybe he can take the half baked mylar wrapped California teacher with him.

Candace Owens seems to be MIA. As I don't have X I could have missed her latest blast. I did recently see a photo, unsure if fake, of her past. She had the nostrils front and center, lying back and thinking of Charlie Kirk (bleah). Something something about a lawsuit in the past of not paying rent and then sued for 20k or so. Claimed black mold in apt caused rash and mental confusion. Defense said she caused the black mold, and I am totally unsure how. The rash? was picked on zits that I could tell.

Now, both she and Walz are pro-abortion. And unlike her, as Governor Walz gets to appoint pro-abortion judges.

The whole thing make zero sense unless he is telling the truth and Walz told, or at least insinuated, he do it.

The court seems... unconvinced by the Democrats thus far.

The Dems entire argument hinges on 'Election Day' meaning 'Election Day.'

Virginia must - constitutionally - hold an election between two redistricting votes. They're arguing that even though early voting had been going on for more than a month before they put out the new map, technically Election Day hadn't occurred, and wouldn't occur until the votes were counted.

Multiple justices asked versions of "You've been arguing for Election Month for decades, but now you want there to be Election Day in this one and only case?"

The Morning Rant: NATO...An Idea Whose Time Is Past

punk-monkey.jpg

The population of the countries comprising NATO is about 980 million people. If one subtracts the population of the United States, it is about 635 million people, or 1.8X the population of the United States. Yet the NATO countries spend far less per capita on their militaries (≈$975) than does the USA (≈$2,800), and far less in absolute terms; the USA spends about 1.6X what the rest of NATO spends. And it is actually worse, because a portion of America's defense budget is spent in Europe, maintaining our bases and paying our personnel, whereas Europe's infrastructure and personnel expenditure is primarily domestic.

Of course they use the money we spend and they don't on a cradle-to-grave welfare state that has crippled most of Europe and turned a once great region into a post-modern mess of accommodation, hatred of nationalism and patriotism, massive guilt for their previous success, and worst of all, a simmering hatred of all things American ... including our military!

In addition to the ridiculous imbalance in defense spending, not all of the member states of NATO are comfortable with its mutual defense requirements. In fact, Spain is unabashedly anti-American, and refused use of its American bases for the effort against the mad Mullahs of Iran. Turkey's loyalties are suspect because of its close relationships with countries and movements that are explicitly anti-American, anti-West, and support Islamic expansionism. Italy has also refused the use of Sigonella Air Base in Sicily, and France has restricted flights over its territory.

The reality is that NATO and Europe are happy to benefit from our underwriting of their defense, but are unwilling to perform the basic functions of allies, including even pro forma participation in an effort to destroy the nuclear aspirations of a country that is an avowed enemy of the West and has stated explicitly for the last 47 years that its goal is the destruction of the West and the ushering in of an Islamic state. And let us not forget its less lofty goals of supporting Islamic terrorism across the world that has killed thousands, including in Europe!

The benefit of NATO for America has clearly faded, and the costs are simply too much to bear. The original function has been subsumed in a mass of bureaucratic waste, competing national priorities, and most of all the shrinking of the world-wide Soviet threat into a regional player that can't project its military might more than 100 miles into its neighbor.

Should we leave NATO? Yes. Is it politically possible? Probably not, but the administration, through the Department of War can reorient our NATO effort to one more focused on real strategic threats and in countries that are less virulently and reflexively anti-American. In other words...punish our enemies and reward our friends. And if that means moving our bases from Spain and the UK and Italy to Israel and Poland, then so be it.

It is no longer the responsibility of the American taxpayer to buttress European defense. Their economies are successful enough to fund it without our assistance, although they are welcome to purchase our military technology if they are capable of keeping it out of the hands of the Chinese and the Russians.

Perhaps we can sell them our bases!

The Royal Navy is ceding some of its build slots for Type 26 frigates to Norway. It is looking like Slot #3 which should have been HMS Belfast will instead go to Norway. The UK and its Royal Navy is no longer a serious military force.

Canada has ordered 15 Type 26s as the River class destroyer. Australia is also buying the Type 26.

19 I'm sure everyone here is in favor of scaling back or eliminating the military assistance we give to NATO, at least in Old Europe. Another question is the extent to which a surprise mass attack is even possible any more.

It was clear that Russian intended to attack Ukraine long before it happened. There simply wasn't the political will to do anything about it. Likewise, if China went after Taiwan, we'd know about it long in advance - long enough to move assets to counter it.

In the age of satellites, drones, and loyal wingmen, political will is a lot more important than assets on the ground.

Nonetheless, I'd like to move our current NATO assets to the front line states - they at least are taking the Russian threat seriously.

37 NATO was formed in '49, a year after 1948's Marshall Plan.

Since the Trump administration essentially (finally, in most ways) ended the latter last year -- dismantling foreign aid programs, incorporating USAID into the State Department (and eventually killing it), opposing international development goals, emphasizing bilateral reciprocity over multilateral cooperation, considering withdrawing from global institutions like the World Bank & IMF, et. al. -- it follows that we should essentially end the former this year.

Belgium has retired four of its eight NH90s. After two crashes, one fatal, and other issues; Australia has retired and scrapped its entire NH90 fleet. Australia's MoD said they tried to sell them but no one wanted to buy them.

44 "No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!"

-Ronald Reagan

That last glib comment is funny, but bureaucracies actually aren't immortal, because of that first statement of "voluntarily reduc(ing) itself".

As parasites, bureaucracies always weaken their host until the host is defeated by outside forces. It's why economists found that defeated countries (in this case, Germany and Japan) grow at ASTOUNDING rates, because the vested interest groups and entrenched bureaucracies had been ground into dust.

I'm not saying losing a war is good for a country, because there has never been a victor as magnanimous as the US, but destroying bureaucracies ought to be the aim of every patriot.

As bad as the Western Eurotrash cockfags are, the worst of them is the Frogs. DeGaulle took one look at a map and realized that Frogpatch didn't need to join the military branch of NATO to enjoy the defense advantages. But since NATO was stupid enough to form the political branch in such a way that a nation could join that part of the organization separately, the Frogs took advantage of it. So they got to have a rather substantial role in setting the direction of NATO policy, without having to commit their military to NATO command.

Left them the resources to attempt a post-war reconstruction of the French colonial empire. But, being Frogs, they fucked it up and lost the two big jewels in the empire within 15 years: Indochina and Algeria. Not that either place is much of a jewel.

82 Kind of reminds me of the discussion we had last night at my sewing/knitting circle. We all go to one of two churches in the same denomination, but we found out that the nitty-gritty of church committees is very different between the two churches. Our church has a one-time new membership "class" (a Sunday lunch at the pastor's house with a meeting including him and two council members beforehand), and the other church doesn't. Our "class" lays out the church's stance on certain issues, but more pertinent to our discussion, the expectations of new members. New members are given a grace period of about a year, and then the council will include them in the phone calls in June to ask people to be on committees. The elder at our meeting warned us that if we don't say "no" to the phone call or text, that is an automatic "yes." We were asked what our strengths and weaknesses were so they could figure out where to put us.

All this is to say that our church has stated very clearly that as long as you are able, we *will* be using your talents. Maybe NATO should consider that concept.

99 None of the rest of NATO have enough transport planes.
They have to catch rides on American C-17s & C-130s.
They have no logistics beyond their own borders.

Any NATO armed forces outside of the U.S., are only good for local operations without our planes moving troops & materiel around.

So Europe is only good to defend Europe, and Canada is only good to defend Canada. And they can't even effectively do that right now outside of possibly France and Poland.

I don't see then gaining the will to improve that situation in the near future, either, due to so many of these nations deliberately gimping their own armed forces and their own industrial and energy sectors.

That isn't even mentioning the Great Barbarian Invasion western Europe has facilitated against itself.

112 A German victory in WW1, especially an early one before they sent Lenin to Russia, likely ends with them dominating Europe but expending most of their efforts in their newly claimed colonies.

As we've seen that would basically be money pissed away. But that's better then what Europe and especially Germany spent their time doing in our actual history since WWI.

One could imagine then that the world ends up not with a competition between freedom and communism, but freedom and old style European aristocracy which I think is a better and clearer debate to have.

4. Africa. Benign neglect. See #1

On #1, we have Venezuela, Greenland and soon Cuba
On #2, Trump has multiple goals with Iran including cutting off oil to China
On #3, see Europe's open hostility to American interests. Europe has similar interests, but they fear their imported Muslims. Trump is building the case for our exiting NATO

Russia Could Attack a NATO Country Within Months, Polish Prime Minister Warns. “This is something really serious. I’m talking about short-term perspectives, rather months than years,” he said.

apparently the follwing has to be repeated over and over again: The west is not afraid of Russia winning a war against us. We are afraid of them *trying*!

This is like "IRAN IS ABOUT TO MAKE A NUCLEAR WEAPON" threat that Nethanyahu's been saying for the last 20 years at least once every 6 months

Ukraine been dominating them for weeks and just got huge money boost. Second: the russian army been in worse condition week by week recently, so wtf could they even do?

Randomly invite whole NATO into war to totally get anhiliated?

This means eu and nato can justify new laws and regulations. Did muricans visited Polska lately or something? Sounds like there's a massive spending waiting. So just in case if peeps ain't happy with how prices are going up and up and probably will get way worse soon - be afraid! ruzkis could come!

Ok let's break this down. The war in Ukraine is not over. Why would the Russians open another front NOW even if they did want to conquer other neighbors?

183 apparently the follwing has to be repeated over and over again: The west is not afraid of Russia winning a war against us. We are afraid of them *trying*!


One of Reagan's arguments was that we were more likely to have peace if we had a strong enough military to make the Soviets fear the outcome of any military conflict.

The left at the time called him a warmonger and argued that if you pay for a military you will end up using it.

Glad to see they are 100% reversed here though I still don't get the argument. The US military is sufficient to defeat Russia in an invasion into NATO even without the rest of NATO. Add in Poland and whatever scraps the rest of Europe puts together and the picture is even better.

But...then the logical answer would be Europe should dramatically increase defense spending, *beyond* American levels, AND agree to the reasonable terms Trump has been asking for to keep the US in the alliance and committed to it - not just spending more but sending ships to the Gulf and so on.

238 SPLC says their "informant" program was not kept secret from law enforcement.

This is called "lying by extraneous inclusion"

1) that's not the crime you're accused of committing. You're accused of fraudulently concealing that you were funding racists and fomenting racists posting and events
2) it's already established you worked with the FBI. But you said "the DOJ" (in your filing) not "the FBI." And, no matter, that doesn't elevate you to a full law enforcement entity.
3) and how much did you disclose to the DOJ? Your filing only say that you let the DOJ know you used confidential informants.
Again, that's not what you are accused of doing.

If that's their best defense, they know they are F'ed.

'We’ll Be Your Canada’: Brutal Reality Check for NATO Free-Riders | Victor Davis Hanson, The Daily Signal, Apr 8, 2026 Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words

In brief, Germany’s invasion of France wasn’t our war, yet Franklin D. Roosevelt still sent military equipment, and later soldiers, to retake Western Europe.

However, Europe’s cold shoulder may not be out of spite, but an inability to help at all, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”:

“They have dreamed of utopia and a good life, and the result is that their fertility rate is 1.3. They are shrinking. They are aging. They’re not competitive. So they don’t have the manpower, even though they have a 450 million-person population. Europe is larger than us by 100 million.

“And even though they have a $22 trillion GDP, which is the third-largest, apparently they don’t want to invest that in their own defense, or they haven’t so far. They don’t want us to use it when we need it.”

27 Glackens was one of the founders of the Ashcan school, which also included Robert Henri, George Luks, John Sloan, and Everett Shinn. My local museum used to have a fair number of paintings from these artists, until the museum went woke and decided we all would be more enlightened by "art" from marginalized communities.

97 CBD, I stumbled across this interesting YouTube video last night comparing Édouard Manet's 1863 painting, Olympia to Titian's Venus of Urbino. I didn’t recall seeing Olympia as a Morning Art piece before, it seemed right up the Horde's alley, and the video was interesting enough for even a non-artsy person like myself to appreciate.

Perhaps that was a failure. We don't know what he was looking at in those three heartbeats or why. Was he being spoken to by his supervisor? A guest? All those things matter and pretending they don't is foolish.

Perhaps he could have tackled Allen. And perhaps he could have shot him.

If he did shoot him, he's betting his career and his freedom that the person he's shooting is armed and intending to kill the President, not a parent chasing a kid, not a speaker about to be late, not any of a dozen innocent but 'looks really bad in the moment' reasons.

The idea that agents can just shoot people for running is not correct.

Redundancy in all things. It works on the pointy end, and it works for the USSS.

The Morning Report — 4/ 28/26

FareedSchmaltz.jpg

Good morning kids, the third attempted assassination of President Trump and in this instance as many of his cabinet members and advisers that were close enough to him at the WHCD will no doubt be the top story at least through the end of the week. Or until the Fifth Columnist Fourth Estate exhausts itself in its attempt to evade its responsibility in painting President Trump as an "Imperial" president and literally Hitler. With that is casting over half the country as racist Nazi white supremacists. Again, if this President were even a fraction as tyrannical and despotic as the Democrat/Leftists have historically been for over 200 years, that party and everyone in its base would've been smoke up a crematorium chimney or worm food in a mass grave long, long ago.

Compare and contrast. Charlie Kirk, a vocal, passionate and effective opponent of Leftism, who sought to defeat them, via civilized debate because he respected their right to express their opinions in a free and open society and let people decide for themselves.

The Democrat Left on the other hand could not allow that and so Charlie Kirk is in an early grave. Meanwhile vermin like Puce Stinkspleen and Jimmy Kimmel can spout the most vile abuse and blood libels at the President and First Lady with impunity knowing full well that the odds of them being in any kind of mortal peril is essentially zero. More likely they'd be praised for "speaking truth to power" (vomit) from all quarters of the Left. And again, not only do they have nothing to really fear from normal Americans of every stripe, from those who are MAGA all the way to just regular folk, there are those who have condemned the calls for Kimmel to be taken off the air and censored. I am fiercely pro free speech but at some point there is a line that we dare not cross that ventures into actual incitement.

In fairness, I'll be the first to admit that some of my rhetoric might, MIGHT, be interpreted by some as getting close to that line. The difference is, I have history and facts to back up my rhetoric in calling out the Democrat/Left for who and what they are.

Yeah some "imperial president" we have, eh Fareed Zakaria?!

Taking a shot at the king, whether with a gun or even rhetorically usually resulted in one's head on a pike.

Beyond that, despite Kimmel et al who have railed against Trump for years now still have platforms and worse, followers who will never abandon them and echo their poisonous bilge. As repulsive as they all are, I say let them speak and hopefully foist themselves on their own petards when they lose their audiences and influence.

But of course, they will never countenance open debate because they look upon us and our leaders as an evil to be eradicated. Always have, always will.

With now the third serious assassination attempt against President Trump on the books, it is an important juncture to examine the intellectual gleischaltung that encourages American society and global society to view Republican Presidents as the height of all evil. More than Kim Jong Un of North Korea, more than Vladimir Putin of Russia, more than Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, more than Chairman Xi of China, Republican Presidents are rhetorically imbued with intrinsic evil that requires all available means of persuasion -- including assassination. Since the assassination of Lincoln, the press and academic culture have worked together to create a sense of moral purpose in killing Republican presidents. On July 11, 2007, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Betty Williams gave the keynote speech to the International Women’s Peace Conference in Dallas, Texas, and said (to laughter and applause from the audience):“I mean right now, I could kill George Bush, no problem. No, I don’t mean that. I mean -- how could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that.” As a Republican President, George W. Bush was subjected to a media and academic character assassination regimen that drove his approval into the 20s before he left office in 2009. A Methodist minister, Charles Moore hated President Bush so much that he immolated himself at Grand Saline, Texas in 2014. He expressed written regret that he lacked the courage to burn himself alive on the campus of SMU where George W. Bush’s Presidential library is located.

Republican Presidents who were assassinated or subjected to attempted assassination include: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Teddy Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Ironically, the most well-known presidential assassination was certainly that of John F. Kennedy, a Democrat president killed by a sniper assassin. The rhetoric surrounding this 1963 event provides insight into the enduring anti-Republican ethic of the American public sphere. Lee Harvey Oswald almost certainly killed President Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. One of the most treasured canards of American history is a vast array of conspiracy theories that seek to exonerate Oswald...

...Our intellectual and academic culture is dangerously creating violent pro-assassination rhetoric that is creating this cultish desire to kill President Trump. It is not only dangerous to the United States but also the Democrat Party that offers itself as the primary point of peaceful opposition to President Trump. Revered Democrat strategist James Carville recently commended his own ‘trump derangement syndrome,’: "I hate the motherf-----. And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it [TDS]. I don't want to get better. I want to get worse. I want to hate him more."

James Carville is not the equivalent of an unknown goat-herding/boffing head-chopper holed up in a cave in Tora Bora. He is a major Democrat/Leftist political leader - a Grand Imam genuflecting before the Mecca space rock. And the true believers, and they constitute hundreds of thousands if not millions of our fellow citizens (in name only!) eat this up day in and day out.


Yes, They Want Trump Dead. They Also Want You Dead. That’s the core element of the Democrat Party platform.

... And in 2020, Kamala Harris said of the left’s riots, “They’re not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that on both levels. They’re not going to let up and they should not and we should not.”

They haven’t. If anything, they’ve stepped on the gas. Why? Because as the great David Horowitz memorably quipped, “Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”
As Trump continues the painstaking work of dismantling the left’s clandestine power structure, the totalitarians will continue to get out and make themselves known. The Democrat Party is today the party of authoritarianism and violence. This is not an aberration or a momentary case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. This is what the party is at its heart.

And so, what is to be done?

At this rate, I put Trump's chances of surviving his Presidency at 40/60, and even if he does make it through, he and his family will be dodging bullets for the rest of their lives.

I'm already trying to game out what happens after they get him - to me, it's a foregone conclusion that they will.

I can see several decentralized small group actions scattered throughout the country, but I doubt very strongly that there will be any large-scale anything.

Which will just reinforce the lesson that they can kill whoever they want without any real consequences.

28 The left acknowledges they're in a hot, civil war. They're actively targeting conservative leaders, killing some in the process and forcing others into hiding when not on official business or in their place of employment. Administration officials have added security due to threats.

31 As to what Gleichschaltung means, it's one of those high concept German words. It means to align, but in the sense of train cars in a switchyard, bringing all scattered objects together into a single harmonious unit.

It was what Nazis used to describe the process by which the citizen would be made to work toward the F¨hrer in all aspects of life, from the workplace, to the movie house, to the sporting club, to the youth group, and on an on. Total ubiquity of messaging.

Our State and media embrace this concept closely, along with the later Communist innovation of Zersetzung, the other side of the same coin - literally meaning a catalyzed chemical decomposition, as with a metal in acid - the systematic psychological and social destruction of the dissenting individual.

“Almost two years ago, it was perfectly obvious to anyone who examined the facts on the ground in Butler, Pennsylvania that the United States Secret Service had an institutionalised level of incompetence and/or malevolence that was assisting those many persons anxious to kill Trump to do so. Even as mere incompetence, it is murderously so: Corey Comperatore is dead, and everyone in Butler and DC who enabled his death still has a job.”

On Math, if you keep failing folks upward before they are ready, they literally can't catch up, even with special tutoring programs.

2nd daughter was brought in (after 2 other tutors quit) to tutor an 8th grade male in Math. She was the 1st to get him to admit he hated everything school (thus why he didn't do anything for sessions and got tutors to quit), to get him to stay and interact for full sessions, and to actually baseline his Math skills (which are 3rd-4th grade level - division is the starting point). Now that he's learning something, he's got about 2 weeks left. So of course, as he graduates to 9th grade, he's still going to continually fail. And no one will know why and where he needs to start from b/c that work, if it's possible, will have to be done all over again.

I think the answer is most of the department was being paid (especially front line folks) but some were not til April 4. Then all got paid, but now they might have to go back to only some being paid again b/c the money they used to pay all DHS is running out.

So, some folks had 3 months of delayed pay now in the last 7 months - that's a morale and personnel killer (aka, anyone not getting paid who could switch jobs has now done so)...so you get a worse group every time you do this "no pay" thing...

“Thwart”, that is, “block, foil, or frustrate efforts” seems about right. If Democrats hadn’t re-segregated the federal workplace when Wilson became president; if they hadn’t used public policy to create and maintain ghettos; and if they hadn’t pushed state-approved marriage licensing for a century that barred mixed-race marriages; and if they hadn’t deliberately destroyed functioning and even excellent schools that were producing an affluent black middle class; then the United States would be far more integrated today than it is.

Ends up she has dyslexia and to this day is barely proficient reader. She as an adult went to learn as she was having a child(who thankfully doesn’t have that issue and is thriving in school).

144 It costs half as much per capita as America’s but rations access to specialty care and limits access to treatment with waiting lists, producing consistently worse outcomes for seriously ill patients.

Severing ties with the US can take more than a year and cost thousands of dollars. But Paul, Ella, Margot and thousands of others feel they have no choice

Margaret wasn't able to renounce her US citizenship in the UK. The waiting list to renounce US citizenship at the London consulate is more than 14 months. It’s a similar story in Sydney and most major Canadian cities. Many European cities currently have six-month waiting lists.

...the wall had three portraits: Donald Trump, JD Vance and Marco Rubio, their faces glistening – to her mind, with sadistic triumph (the lighting may have been a factor).

Paul, 55, lives in Helsinki but had to travel to Milan for a consulate appointment – on his 51st birthday. “My present to myself was divorcing Uncle Sam,” he says. “It was the end of 2020, when Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the supreme court...The other half was that filthy, narcissistic smirk on Trump’s face. His eyes are barely open – it’s not a smile of joy, it’s not a smile of, ‘Hey, cool, this happened.’ It was, ‘I have you right where I want you.’

That’s a very inaccurate thing to say. The old South was a no growth economic backwater for a full century after that war; no industrialization, mired in generational poverty. That didn’t change until southern voters in the 70’s and 80’s finally began overthrowing the Dem machines that ran those states and electing conservative governments.

Things went to hell nationally when the formerly successful northern states, plus the left coast, chose to throw away all that had made them successful for a century and take a hard left turn instead.

So Clinton paid Lewinsky and sort of admitted to it, which he had to because he had so many independent accusers.

He was also accused of sexual assault/rape by two women. Here the evidence was weaker, he did meet alone with the second woman that accused him, and he was politicking in Juanita Broadrick's town the day she accused him of raping her.

Well, the things being done are directed at making it generational.

Especially the funding stuff like USAID, the policy support like SPLC, and the immigration stuff.

And, on top of it all, putting it all back together will not be easy. Take USAID. USAID has existed for decades, steadily morphing into the UBI for unemployable leftists in the DC area. It's gone.

Getting that back is not, "Oh, we put the sign back on the building." People move away to find other work. Funding has to be restored.

And on top of that, there's Loper. The administration cannot just add new regulations anymore. Every new regulation is open to judicial review, meaning that the administration is open to lawsuit for every regulation they put in which they weren't under preceding doctrine Chevron.

So, not only do they have to rebuild, but the judicial philosophy that allowed them to rebuild so much is dead.

Oh yeah, Denver has embraced that idea.

I was intrigued by the linking of SNAP to other freebies.
We can laugh at Mamdani campaigning on free subway rides, then pulling back once he understands the cost, but the dirty little secret is this: a lot of his city's - and our own city's - residents are already getting a free ride. All you have to do is enroll in SNAP, and a wave of free stuff materializes. This puts SNAP fraud in sharper focus, as well as identifying how much more they've been giving away quietly.

Just think of say, those "youth" mobbings, or antifa protests, where they all arrive on scooters and ebikes, then set them on fire. We pay for that!

325 Appeals court reverses NYC subway bomb jihadi’s conviction: ISIS inspired him, but he acted ‘independently’

See, he didn’t have an actual Islamic State (ISIS) membership card, so his conviction was overturned. This is because authorities refuse to admit the possibility that an individual Muslim might independently decide to turn to jihad, without being a member of a designated terrorist organization. If authorities admitted this, they’d have to admit that there might be something within Islam that incites violence.

She was so patient, calm and kind with the woman in front of me who probably had dementia and was very insistent.

9 gigawatts is more generating capacity than any single power plant currently operating in the world has, be they hydroelectric, gas, oil, coal, or nuclear.

Luc Besson did a marvelous job.
He tried to recreate that magic with Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and almost succeeded but that flick is nowhere near as good as The Fifth Element regardless of how cute Cara Delevingne is.

They had ambitions, lots of ambitions.

Unfortunately their obsession with destroying energy infrastructure across the western world for the past three decades has limited their options considerably.

Not to mention they're catching hell trying to build them anywhere because too many people are noticing and they don't want to see their electric bills skyrocket so Chat GPT can get better at hallucinating good poetry.

There was an article in the Epoch Times a few days ago about a farming town in KY that was getting pressured to sell land to a data center. The government was forced to sign an NDA, the reps from the company weren't talking about any details and things were getting rejected.

So there is some hope on this.

I honestly don't think we need these huge AI data centers for AI.

If they can optimize them enough most people would be able to run them at home on Mac Mini type machines to do their own stuff without paying some huge company a subscription fee by the month.

The "Cloud" started all of this data center craze years ago and a lot of companies are now realizing what a mistake that was when they could've built their own clouds and didn't need Amazon, MS, and the rest to do it for them.

Data centers are still needed for many things, but nothing like the plans they have now will be necessary in the long run if local compute/storage progress like they should in the future.

The three bears become Genius Award Winners

Three people were sentenced to jail in an insurance fraud scheme that involved dressing up as a bear and staging fake attacks.

Alfiya Zuckerman, 39, Ruben Tamrazian, 26, and Vahe Muradkhanyan, 32, pleaded no contest to felony insurance fraud (injuring or destroying insured property) in the "Operation Bear Claw" investigation. The scheme involved the suspects claiming a bear entered their 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost and destroyed the interior, according to a California Department of Insurance (CDI) news release.

After their November 2024 arrest, each was sentenced to 180 days in jail and two years of supervised probation on Thursday, April 16. Zuckerman was ordered to pay $55,360 in restitution; Tamrazian, $52,268; while Muradkhanyan's restitution amount is still being determined.

A fourth suspect, Ararat Chirkinian, 39, is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing in September 2026.

59 Now that I've shaved and sent a blistering feedback note to the property manager of this Best Western (hey -- they asked for it!), I do believe I'll take my melatonin and get ready for sleep.

Oh, and the alarm clock seems to have no way to set the time, and it's reading two and a half hours late. Probably setting the alarm won't work either. They'll need another feedback note about that one.

Having been on oilfield jobs in bear country just like that pictured above, the safety hands keep up a constant refrain of "beware of bears", so people are psyched up to bears under every tarp. And if it's an oilfield in Canada, nobody can keep a firearm in camp, except the one Indian whose sole job is to shoot problem bears, when and if they do become a problem.

This is the closest thing to a “specific statute.”
It requires congressional approval for major alterations to federal buildings above a certain cost threshold. A new White House ballroom is unquestionably a “major alteration.”

Courts have repeatedly held that the White House is not exempt from this Act.

I take it as a sign that they couldn't balance the power scaling, and instead of either tweaking the mechanics or lowering the ramp rate, they just wiped the progress to keep it in the balanced range.

149 134 Sleepytime, all. I've been up since six am, on the road, killing a fly, and yawning, so it's time. I wonder when I'll wake up without the clock alarm?

The hotel serves up a breakfast buffet -- probably eggs, maybe sausage, the do-it-yourself waffles, cereal and milk, juice, and coffee. Given how the room has worked out for me, I wonder also how the food will be.

Well, "free" covers a lot of sins. Or at least papers over them.

This is the closest thing to a “specific statute.”
It requires congressional approval for major alterations to federal buildings above a certain cost threshold. A new White House ballroom is unquestionably a “major alteration.”

Courts have repeatedly held that the White House is not exempt from this Act.

Posted by: Don Black

Yes, That presumes federal funding. Below that cost threshold they can do major repairs with 'maintenance' money at the agencies discretion (the money is given lump sum by Congress w/o regard to specific projects). I had one project where the building "maintenance" money was used to strip it to bare structural steel.
How?
If funded by Congress the threshold is relative to all new construction cost.

235 When my BP started going up the first thing was to cut out salt. Did not make one bit of difference.

239 Yes, That presumes federal funding. Below that cost threshold they can do major repairs with 'maintenance' money at the agencies discretion (the money is given lump sum by Congress w/o regard to specific projects).

How?
If funded by Congress the threshold is relative to all new construction cost.

This is why we spend so much on military housing on base. Redoing old, useless 1950's concrete barracks into "apartments," which are always awful, and cost more than going into town and buying each soldier a 2-bedroom house. It is all "maintenance" money. If we tore the whole thing down and started new, it would be cheaper, but the funding would take 6 years through Congress and might not happen at all, so we spend all the maintenance money making something that's about half-assed.

Salt is also necessary to counteract some of the rise of yeast, actually. And modern recipes of all kinds, not just Bread, have gone to the other extreme, you can tell because they barely deign to include it, with some ridiculous “1/64th teaspoon”.

Super low-carb 'crustless pizza'. One of the chains has it.
To make it at home just use an aluminum pie pan or other tin, spritz it with some oil, and load up all the usual shit.
Works great in toaster ovens.

There is some 'cheap' pepperoni. Any store probably has at least three brands. I used to always go for Bridgeford in stick and cut it myself... and it used to be the cheapest and the best, but labor intensive.
but something happened to the formula recently (or local distro) and it turned to shit, almost rancid.

Back in the very early 80's the 24 hour thing was just catching on. There was one 24 hour McDonalds, but there were 2 white castles about 10 miles apart. Originally that McDonalds wasn't 24 hour, but it was smack dab in between one of the white castles and a jack in the box which were both 24 hour. They finally got a clue and went 24 hour. The problem was they were a little far from all the area metal clubs and bars. There was a 3rd white castle that was somewhat close to the bulk of the clubs that were on this section of Rt35 heading towards the shore, so in reality that white castle was the safe bet and there was nothing else that was 24 hour. Eventually a shit ton of places went 24 hour, but in the bad old days white castle was salvation.

ICYMI, my five-second meme creation yesterday:
https://bit.ly/lame-shooter-boy

As I said #101, my test of Suno was "mashup I Wear My Sunglasses at Night with Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades" and it came up with "Shades After Midnight." After which, MiladyJo and I listened to/read a "Sunglasses" lyric video (because we couldn't make out half the words), and then "Future's" (which is still fun upbeat silliness). In order of quality of lyrics, worst to best, I'd say Sunglasses, Shades After Midnight, and Future's.

I'm guessing the cold ferment is where you stick it in the fridge for a day to let it rise, and the room temp is where you just let it rise at room temp until it gets to be the size of a snow tire?

My brother left some Kraft mac n cheese (boxed) behind last summer. I felt nostalgic one day and decided to cook some. The "macaroni" looked weird, but whatever... bleccch! So gross.

314 Jeepers, all this talk of pepperoni and sausage just reminded me of two neighbors at the same time. One neighbor has a gay married brother who is also a reverend of dubious credentials, anyway, every time he arrives for a visit to his sister my other neighbor always texts me and asks if I am attending Sausage Fest this year. He would be a great moron and his wife would be a fabulous 'ette indeed. I am very blessed to have people like this in my life. My other neighbor is a widow like me, we saw each other through our husband's demise, I love her like sister, which I never had, but I cannot and will not discuss much of a political discussion because she supports so many of her brother's delusions. I am blessed to have her in my life too.

Strong heating in the absence of oxygen, I think.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

The difference between "activated" charcoal and the regular stuff is mechanical, and I have no idea how they do.it.
Regular charcoal, like the briquettes in your grill are compacted and dense. The activated stuff is almost sponge-like, with English muffin style nooks and crannies.
High heat in the absence of oxygen is how you make charcoal out of wood, and how coke is created out of coal.
I took a tour of US Steel's Edgar Thompson plant in Braddock (yes, the home of The Lump) where they did the coke conversion on a massive scale. And it may have been here on AOS (or someplace on the web) where there was a "mystery pic" of small beehive-shaped brick structures that were charcoal ovens.

These charcoal ovens are near the Gila River east of Florence, AZ. They cut mesquite wood along the river bottom, and burned it in these ovens to make charcoal for smelting copper. Active as late as WWII era. I have been there on several occasions.

Well from what I understand most of your good box pasta is semolina flour made from durum wheat. If I remember right its semolina and water, no egg. Some of the fresh pasta recipes might use AP flour and egg, or a blend of 00 and semolina, or regular AP flour and egg. God knows what they do with the mac and cheese pasta. If you're making mac and cheese with a good box pasta you probably got a waaay better shot at it being really good.

Below is an example []several], [at link]

In addition to addressing the concerns and feelings of injustice felt by the people, the government is also implementing a wide range of initiatives based on "comprehensive response measures" to ensure that the foreign policy is "orderly" and that both the people and foreigners can live safe and secure lives.

For the benefit of the majority of foreigners who stay and reside here in accordance with the rules, we will strive to achieve an "orderly and symbiotic society with foreigners" by responding firmly to problematic behavior.

Absolutely, bronze cut rules. DeCecco is great. Barilla makes a bronze cut made in italy pasta in the red box or package.

373 349 Debby, I use bottled Italian dressing and mayo.

Cook the pasta, drain and stir in a little mayo/mustard mix. Chop up whatever-- green bell pepper, black olives, green olives, pimentos, green onion &&&&-- and stir in lots of Italian dressing. Then combine all.

Definitely let it sit, preferably overnight. If too dry, stir in more dressing! (But my palate is uncultured redneck, so... might not be to others' liking)

No engine "likes" to run hot. By nature the air cooled might run a little hotter than water cooled, but I wouldn't say they are designed to run that way. My harleys with the evo engine has an oil temperature of about 180 degrees, which is pretty much what you get with water cooled. In traffic it will run hotter because no air flow, but because they have cooling fins they would run cooler just sitting there than a water cooled motor with a stuck closed thermostat or screwed water pump. There is no ill effects from running cooler, if anything its better. Less piston expansion, and the oil don't thin out as it does when it gets hot, and when it thins out it will burn it faster. The fan you have is probably a possible solution to the problem created by having a hood, but still might not be as good as not having a hood in the first place.

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at April 28, 2026 03:30 AM (snZF9)

386 I don't know anything about engines, so instead I will add that one thing that blew my mind about the venerable .30-06 Springfield, "the cartridge that one two world wars," is that its many platforms included a couple *water-cooled* machine guns. Looking it up, there were the M1917 Browning Machine Gun (not to be confused with the air-cooled M1919 BMG), and the Colt 1928 Model 37. That seems wildly impractical from a weight perspective, but Brave AI says that it took through the late '70s to phase out water-cooled systems.

389 The M1917 Browning machine gun, a water-cooled heavy machine gun, was phased out of regular U.S. military service in the late 1960s, being replaced by the lighter M60 machine gun. However, some units, like those in South Vietnam and on training courses, continued to use it into the 1970s

A daughter from one family became a multi-millionaire in her early 20s. She moved to Cali with her new husband and opened a small chain of coffee shops in the San Jose area. Only a few years later that chain was bought out by a rapidly expanding chain and got filthy rich. That chain: Starbucks.

Son in another family became a well-respected Judge (Republican.) And another is a long-long-time Republican city council member. They were all Repubs afaik.

Her Majesty and The Big Dummy should be home in less than an hour. Interrupted cooking the lamb and veggies, but they're back in the oven and may be ready by the time she gets home.

Almost all that lamb will be sliced up, frozen, and taken with her when she starts her four-week tour next week.

I liked Salina overall, and the people and the weather. There was one house, a sorta generic ranch, that I could easily have afforded, though I didn't *love* it. Then I got a ballpark figure on home insurance from my car insurance people (Flo's Bros, if it matters). $2697/year.

In contrast, a larger house, 20K more, in Terre Haute, IN, fetched a quote of . . . $1000/year. And Indiana property taxes are also lower than in Kansas, by a lot.

So, unless Salina is unusual in having high taxes, I think I'm out. My hostess at the hotel in Fort Scott put me on to a realtor who has a house coming up in that small town in June, and she assures me that taxes and insurance are much lower there. We'll see.

I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

One good thing: I gassed up soon after I entered Arkansas at the first Shell station I saw. E10 87 regular, as usual. My gas mileage as reported on the instruments is now 32-33 -- traveling at 70, A/C on, with hills -- whereas I was seeing 26-27 with the tank mostly full of that JumpStart brand's 93. Someone here last night suggested that JS's fuel may actually be E15 being passed off as E10. When I get home I'll write to the Kansas Weights & Measures Dept. about it and see if they will investigate.

130 When we made the move from MI to IN, we left a house that we had spent 36 years making really nice. And we were happy with what we got for it, but the market here was tighter than there, and that money got us a house that isn't as nice. Or well built. And had not been cared for. But, it was what we could get and we are happy to have it. Because for us, it wasn't the house or the state location, it was the move to where our grandchildren are. Do I wish for a nicer house? Sometimes. But it has become home. My point is, if you are unhappy where you are, maybe you won't be able to get your dream home, but you can get a house of your own in a place you want to live. And whether you are happy there, or not, is up to you.

Exactly, nurse. I just have a spending limit for my shelter -- an old rule, but still a good one: "Don't spend more than 25% of your monthly *take-home* pay for your shelter." So I want to come in there or less. I suppose if the exact perfect house came along, and it would run me 27 or 28%, I'd do it.

(On the plus side, KS and IN both would save me 2/3 on my car insurance. So I could consider that in my quest for my new home.)

The realtors all want you to consider going to as much as 33% of your *net* pay. "You can afford it!" That's insane. You don't see your net pay, taxes are taken out of it before you get it, so you can't spend it. And one-third of even your take-home spent on shelter is nuts.

If you find a property you want to buy, hire an inspector to look at it. It'll cost hundreds to have someone reputable check it out. Things that need fixing, like plumbing, electrical or (God forbid) structural can be negotiated into the price. Assuming the place is what you want.

Yes.

…38-year-old male officer with 10 years on the police force was killed and a 57-year-old, 21-year veteran was fighting for his life …the gunman somehow secured a firearm… Endeavor Health, which operates the hospital, said on X that the suspect “was wanded [with a metal detector] upon arrival” per the hospital’s “public safety weapon detection protocols.” The company also said he “was escorted by law enforcement at all times.”.

Something went very wrong.

214 So at work they are relocating everyone in my area to a new place in another part of the facility. They are doing it in phases. The last group they moved took all the f'ing coffee. I bought more. Then I noticed the whole danged coffee machine was missing this afternoon with a message saying oh we didn't like the coffee machine at the new place so now we took your only coffee machine with us too now. I'm going to be here for a month more before I move.

2 things: 1) those mfers! 2) people aren't going crazy about this. I checked and there's only two of us left in the remaining 2-3 dozen crew that drink coffee from the pot. Some do those single serve pod things in the other machine, which the coffee thieves did not take, and a whole lot just don't drink coffee at all. I've drank coffee brewed in an industrial/commercial bunn steel behemoth with the round pots for most of my adult life.

I feel like the moment in an alien invasion movie when you realize everyone around you is a pod person.

I’ve seen other vids of dogs skateboarding like this one. It’s got to be a tough training job to get a dog to ride a skateboard. That much work together would make it a bonding experience and after a while the dog would be waiting to go skateboarding with their master like a normal dog wants to go for a walk.

I guess it could still be AI, but I’ve seen trained dogs do some crazier stuff than this.

Quick Hits

Mary Margaret Olohan
@MaryMargOlohan

From @lukerosiak: Biden's SBA hid that it was giving $90 million in loans to Planned Parenthood by referring to Planned Parenthood as "Benghazi" in emails.

It was ruled that Planned Parenthood was ineligible for SBA loans -- so Biden officials granted those loans anyway, claiming the loans went to... "Benghazi"?

Luke Rosiak says Biden "may have broken the law."

I'm more confident it's a crime.


Biden administration officials may have broken the law by concealing small business loans to Planned Parenthood, a senator said Monday.

Small Business Administration officials disbursed and forgave loans to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates even after the agency determined that the group is not a small business that would be eligible. Top officials, including Biden SBA Administrator Isabella Guzman, concealed their maneuvering on the topic by substituting the words Planned Parenthood with "Benghazi" in emails, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who chairs the committee that oversees the agency, revealed Monday.

"We now know that after the SBA Biden officials met, planned and strategized (over 'Benghazi'), keeping the White House involved, approximately $90 million in Planned Parenthood SBA PPP loans and interest on the loans were forgiven by the Biden administration," she said.

Ernst asked the Department of Justice to investigate the officials under a statute that says anyone who attempts to conceal a federal record can be imprisoned for up to three years, according to a letter first obtained by The Daily Wire.

America's Sweetheart, reading from a cue card, shows her firm command of American history when she says that the Insurrection Act was last invoked to deport Germans, Japanese, and Italians during, and I do quote, "World War Eleven."

See they wrote "World War II" and this totally-real US citizen didn't recognize that and thought America had been involved in eleven world wars.

Melania Trump has called for ABC to fire flabby assassination prep clown Jimmy Kimmel.

Melania posted on X Monday, "Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America." That is exactly what we see across the political left in America now, a sickness that has pervaded not only their politics, but their minds and their morals as well.
Advertisement

Then, Melania continued by challenging the networks that platform such incredibly dangerous rhetoric. "People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him," she said. "Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community."

I like her spirit, but the Disney Goomer Network is all about stirring murderous hate against normies and transing children.

The Foreign Fraud Obama missed the perfect opportunity to shut his cocksucker for once.

"Although we don't yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it's incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy," Obama wrote on X. "It's also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I'm grateful to them -- and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay."

There's just one huge problem with Obama's statement. We already knew the shooter's motive at this point. Obama posted his statement at 5:15 p.m. EDT on Sunday, and the shooter's manifesto and its contents were first published late Sunday morning.

I just mentioned this tactic of deception last week -- liberals claim "we don't know the details" as a way to pretend they don't know the basics. If you challenge them later, and prove, as it is proven here, they knew most of the motive, they will say "Well I said I didn't know all of the details. What, you're criticizing me for not jumping the gun?"

Since then, we learned all of the details.

Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson

🚨 FULL MANIFESTO: Trump White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooter Cole Allen details his motives and targets:

"Hello everybody!

So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.

I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for "Most Wanted."

I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)

I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.

I apologize to everyone who was abused and/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.

I don't expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.

On to why I did any of this:

I am a citizen of the United States of America.

What my representatives do reflects on me.

And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.

(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it.)

While I'm discussing this, I'll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I'm not military so too bad.)

Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest

Secret Service: they are targets only if necessary, and to be incapacitated non-lethally if possible (aka, I hope they're wearing body armor because center mass with shotguns messes up people who *aren't*

Hotel Security: not targets if at all possible (aka unless they shoot at me)

Capitol Police: same as Hotel Security

National Guard: same as Hotel Security

Hotel Employees: not targets at all

Guests: not targets at all

In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)

I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn't come to that.

Rebuttals to objections:

Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.

Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped in a detention camp. I'm not the fisherman executed without trial. I'm not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.

Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor's crimes.

Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.

Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn't about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be "inconvenient" for people who aren't the victim?

This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.

Objection 3: You didn't get them all.

Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.

Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn't be the one doing this.

Rebuttal: I don't see anyone else picking up the slack

Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.)

Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.

Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.

Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.

Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.

Thank you to the many acquaintances I've met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.

Thank you all for everything.

Sincerely,

Cole "coldForce" "Friendly Federal Assassin" Allen

PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.

Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.

What I got (who knows, maybe they're pranking me!) is nothing.

No damn security.

Not in transport.

Not in the hotel.

Not in the event.

Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.

I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.

The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.

Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it's corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.

Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.

Actually insane.

Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it's awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.

Can't really recommend it! Stay in school, kids."

But Obama hasn't updated his statement.


The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox


Bill Maher drags his woke guest out of his liberal bubble and tells him to his face he's why Kamala Harris lost.

It all started when David Cross revealed his 9-year-old daughter has "trans friends."

"Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?" Maher asked.

Cross replied: "Yep," as if it's completely normal and something society should embrace.

That's when Maher dropped the hammer and told him straight up that no, somebody's doing something to that little girl.

Cross immediately got defensive, but Maher refused to back down.

He told Cross that believing a 9-year-old girl is deciding to be trans on her own is exactly the kind of liberal insanity that lost Kamala Harris the election in 2024.

And if Democrats keep it up, JD Vance is going to win in 2028.

By the end of this exchange, Cross is left sitting there looking like a deer in headlights, like he's never been challenged on "trans kids" in his life.

This is a moment worth watching, but if you're somewhere you can't play it, the transcript is below:

MAHER: "You need to be checked. People need to be checked... including your little girl."

CROSS: "Fck that btch. (joking) Fck that little btch with her black friends and trans friends and not even understanding."

MAHER: "Trans?! Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?"

CROSS: "Yep."

MAHER: "They know they're trans in third grade?"

CROSS: "Just the coolest kid."

MAHER: "[Is kid transitioning from] girl to boy?"

CROSS: "Girl to boy. And she has another very close friend who's not in the school, but who's boy to girl at three years old."

MAHER: "A woman said [to me] 'I was what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that's what they would have done to me.'"

CROSS: "Well, nobody's doing this to her."

MAHER: "Well, I don't know."

CROSS: "Literally nobody is doing this to her."

MAHER: "How old?"

CROSS: "She is -- or HE is -- either eight or I think nine."

MAHER: "Okay, then somebody is doing something because eight or nine-year-olds can't do anything on their own."

CROSS: "No, they're buying them boys' clothes."

MAHER: "Well then, they're doing something."

CROSS: "Sure. Yes, you're right. They're buying them boys' clothes."

MAHER: "And telling them you're a boy now."

CROSS: "No, no, they're not telling them. They're just agreeing with [them]."

MAHER: "Agreeing with an 8-year-old. Because when has their judgment ever been off at 8?"

CROSS: "You know you knew you weren't gay, right?"

MAHER: "Yeah, that's different."

CROSS: "It's not different."

MAHER: "It is different. Good luck with President Vance. Because, as I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You're just why she lost and this is a case of that."

CROSS: "Wait, what?"

MAHER: "We voted for the same person..."

CROSS: "Right."

MAHER: "You're just why she lost. Because America hears this, and they're going to go, 'Bill's right. Eight-year-olds can't really make decisions on their own like this.' That's what most people are going to say."

Marjorie and Massie are as much responsible for filling the assassin's head with "Trump is Pedo Rapist" fantasies as any Democrat.

Well, okay, that's overstated -- the latest Democrat Assassin retweeted the assassination prep tweets of almost every Democrat politician on X.

Second while reading the NT book of John. The "book of John" would be more normal, Cucker Tiresome, if you really read the Bible like a normal person. We know it it is not in the OT or Koran.

Had he been at the Hilton Saturday night he would have passed out and pissed in fear. Later found in a puddle under a table by a maid as no one would miss him, including his wife (if he has one and how could she stand his giggle?). Can you imagine that giggle in bed. Passion is somehow missing in this picture.

Press Sec Karoline Levitt could be in the middle of transition in labor and still answer questions and mow the Dimwits down. Probably leap off the delivery table after her daughter is born and excoriate the press breastfeeding. She's fantastic.

72 The Intercept: Kash Patel Got Arrested for Public Urination After a Night of Drinking. The FBI director was arrested twice in his youth for alcohol related incidents that he said were “not representative of my usual conduct.”

One incident recounted by Patel occurred in 2005, about four months before he wrote the letter. At the time, he was a law student at Pace University in New York celebrating with friends.

“We went to a few of the local bars and consumed some alcoholic drinks,” he wrote.

When they walked home, they made a bad decision.

“In a gross deviation from appropriate conduct, we attempted to relieve our bladders while walking home,” Patel said in the letter. “Before we could even do so, a police cruiser stopped the group. We were then arrested for public urination.”

We will see more stories like this since he filed a lawsuit against the Atlantic. People have plenty of stories regarding this guys behavior and his weakness with alcohol. It ain’t so out of the normal, but if you’re gonna double down and say that shit didn’t happen and be an ass about it, you better believe there are people who will take an extra 5 minutes to share their own experiences

Posted by: tubal at April 27, 2026 06:31 PM (zQoHA)

77 Tucker has arrived at the strangest understanding of Christianity usually reserved for Liberation Theology Marxist Catholics.

God, and Jesus Christ, work through world events by leaders and peoples, and individuals.

Obviously then, Trump as the leader of the U.S., a nominally Christian nation, is working under God to stop a hostile Islamic theocracy from acquiring a nuclear weapon which they'd most certainly use at some point to target not only Christian nations, but especially the land of God's chosen people, Israel.

Tucker, the only question you need to concern yourself with is; does God and the Lord Jesus Christ want the Iranian Twelever/Mahdi fanatics to have nuclear weapons?

If God doesn't want the Mullahs to have nukes then why does Tucker have such a problem with Trump and the U.S. military along with the Bibi and the IDF removing that threat from the world?

You either believe God is in control, or you don't.
You either believe Jesus stands for divine truth, justice, and peace, or you don't.

Tucker seems to think, like a Christian Marxist or Islamic Jihadist, that God is a political being who is on their side in political battlefields.

And there's nothing funny about it.

---
SBA has a system that tracks everyone who takes any action on a file.
They told a GS-9 or 11 to make that disbursement. If they allowed a case manager to touch the file at all.

And it's near impossible to get a SBA loan forgiven.

That takes GS-14 or up to authorize that.

They know who did this.

Agreed. They may be violating the Separation of Powers, which reserves funding decisions to Congress. An even more egregious game of that type is Federal agencies colluding with plaintiffs in "sue and settle" schemes; they aren't losing a judgement, they're making a grant -- or if there's a binding policy agreement, they're making law. And the deceit involved gives the game away, that they know it's wrong.

(The Daily Caller)—People with graduate degrees — like the man who allegedly tried to kill President Donald Trump and his cabinet members on Saturday — are more likely to support political violence, polling shows.

A 2025 report by the Skeptic Research Center found that people who hold graduate degrees are about twice as likely to believe that “violence is often necessary to create social change” compared to those who have completed lower level college degrees or opted out of higher education altogether.

134 I agree with Marjorie Green -- just MG, middle names are for bigshots -- that the FBI should not be hiding evidence from the People about domestic terrorists' words and actions. We are the Sovereign; just as Congress has subpoena power despite not having any criminal justice authority, because they need to understand the truth of things in order to craft legislation based on correct premises, so do We the People need to know the truth of things to choose to rule over our public servants wisely. It is grossly offensive for a jumped-up paper-pusher to arrogate to himself the authority to declare that effective self-rule is too dangerous for us to be allowed to see the "tokens" of martyr-type criminals.

Of course, in addition to being inconsistent, MG completely misses the obvious difference that living criminals will be going to trial. Everything will come out in open court anyway, so there's no point in trying to suppress their timelines, associates, and manifestos in the first place. I just think that the same openness should apply to dead criminals too, starting with Stephen Paddock.

What kind of violence and in what context?
Violence committed by whom, on whose society? their own or someone else's?

"Violence to create social change" is - arguably - what we're doing in Iraq, and right-thinking people considering at example then answering "yes" to the "is it necessary" question is how these never-sufficiently-to-be damned pollsters make it look like the Left has more adherents that it does.

They wrote assassination porn books and plays, and called him "Hitler" a hundred times a day, every day.

It almost reads like a parody. "So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today" sounds like the intro to a comedy routine. The situation wasn't funny at all -- but his tone in this thing is so wildly inappropriate to what he considered to be a solemn undertaking, a mission, that it . . . I'm not sure how to describe it. "Childish," for sure. Like something a not over-bright thirteen-year-old might have written in a story about a presidential assassin.

Iran: How About We Postpone All Talks About Our Nuke Program While You End the Embargo, Like Obama Did?

Gee I wonder why they're so determined to hang on to their "peacefully enriched uranium stockpiles."

These fucking death cult primitives worship nukes like the mutants in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Their "Allah" is the atomic bomb.


Iran gave the U.S. a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, with nuclear negotiations postponed for a later stage, according to a U.S. official and two sources with knowledge.

Oh great, we get to end the embargo and end offensive actions against Iran, and they get to keep their nuke program.

What a great proposal. We've never had a great proposal from Iran like this before, except for the last thirty years.


Why it matters: The diplomacy is in a stalemate, and the Iranian leadership is divided about what nuclear concessions should be on the table. The Iranian proposal would bypass that issue en route to a faster deal.

But lifting the blockade and ending the war would remove President Trump's leverage in any future talks to remove Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and convince Tehran to suspend enrichment -- two primary war objectives for Trump.

What to watch: Trump is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting on Iran on Monday with his top national security and foreign policy team, according to three U.S. officials.

...

Trump signaled in an interview with Fox News on Sunday that he wants to continue the naval blockade that is choking off Iran's oil exports, hoping it will get Tehran to cave over the next few weeks.

"When you have vast amounts of oil pouring through your system ... if for any reason this line is closed because you can't put it into containers or ships ... what happens is that line explodes from within. ... They say they only have about three days before that happens," Trump said.

Marco Rubio also declared that Iran's idea that "opening the Strait" means that they get to decide who can transit the strait and collect tolls from them is a non-starter.

74 Leupold, War Powers Resolution (not Act) syllabus

"The WPR further mandates that the President report to Congress within 48 hours of deploying U.S. forces if Congress has not declared war or statutorily authorized the action. The President must continue reporting to Congress at least every six months for the duration of the engagement. Sixty days after the President first reports to Congress (or was required to do so), the use of the Armed Forces is automatically terminated unless Congress has declared war or passed legislation authorizing the action. The President may extend this 60-day period an additional 30 days by certifying in writing to Congress the need for continued use of force.

An authorization of the use of military force (AUMF) is subject to expedited consideration during the 60-day termination window that begins when the President reports or was required to report on the use of force. An authorizing bill or joint resolution must be introduced within the first 30 calendar days of this 60-day period.

Upon introduction and referral, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations must report within 10 days of "continuous session" or can be discharged by a privileged motion that is debatable for one hour. Once the committee has reported or been discharged, any Senator may make a non-debatable motion to proceed to the measure. Debate on the measure and any amendments to it is limited to 10 hours. The WPR does not provide any expedited procedures for House consideration of a bill or joint resolution withdrawing forces from hostilities. Like any bill or joint resolution, the President would have the option of vetoing the measure."

113 That's the thing lot of people realize - they are not just out of food, and fuel, and imports, Iran is very close to being at a point where they have to shut in oil production.

When that happens, it is not just like turning off a tap. The reservoir, the geology, below the surface is permanently altered. You will lose, likely forever, 20% of your production. This is hundreds of billions of $ in future revenue for Iran.

I think what they are saying is they need more time to sort out the nuclear thing. But they really have no more time, none at all. A few days at most. They have to empty the tanks at Karg by then.

But there I was taken to a place
The Hall of the Viagra King I stood high up on a stool
Naked to the world in front of every kind of girl
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones

120 And Leupold, furthermore, you also have the 9/11 Authorization to Use Military Force still in place (no time limit). Given Iranian support for terrorism against US troops in Syria and Iraq, they could be considered part of the World War On Terror.

Arguably, that would allow Trump to argue the attacks were already authorized if a court case arose over extending action past the sixty day limit which would be April 28th. The Ceasefire makes it even more thorny as the law is silent what happens if military hostilities stop before the sixty days, cease fire happens, then the hostilities resume.

There is a reason every president (dunno about Obama or Biden) has argued that the War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional by usurping the President's commander in chief role by ordering hostilities to stop after sixty days.

Neither Congress nor the Presidents have pushed this to Scotus for obvious reasons. It is most probably unconstitutional as Congress can always simply strike funding for any war. Congress essentially wants to duck the hard decisions so it can avoid blame and thus neutered itself.

Trump clearly wants an exit, it gives that, and they can start selling their oil.

It's just amazing what them not "losing face" is worth. Especially considering their entire military has basically been destroyed. It's not like they are held in high esteem.

------
This is one of those situations where the upside to delays outweigh the downside. Closing the strait
- hurts Iran. Soon they will have no cash to pay their foreign mercs, and they might turn on anyone in Iran who has cash. This is always a risk when you invite a foreign terrorist group into your country to police the public.

- It hurts China. Their entire strategy of dumping everything depends on foreign energy. This could collapse, or at least greatly damage them.

“Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior.”

I would really like to know what this “doohickey” was before believing it. Because the counters are so numerous and obvious.

Wait until airbags start killing people taller or shorter than average, then they’ll get rid of the mandate. Airbags start killing people. They mandate explosive devices attached to the seatbelts to engage them more quickly in the event of a crash.

Wait until over-vaccination start killing people, they’ll stop giving them by the dozens to children and pregnant women. They mandate children get vaccines against diseases only transmittable by sex and lie about the numbers.

Yeah, but I don't think they have actual control over the people with speedboats. Khomeini set up a dead man's switch - basically told the military "If you never hear back from me, attack anything at your discretion." So, you have "groups" (I'd hesitate to call them a military) who's last order was destroy all ships.

150 FWIW, this is the section that is of dubious constitutionality due to the President's enumerated power as Commander in Chief.

"Sixty days after the President first reports to Congress (or was required to do so), the use of the Armed Forces is automatically terminated unless Congress has declared war or passed legislation authorizing the action. "

In cases where some other provision provides a constitutional way to resolve an issue (which is funding laws by Congress which are in accordance to originalism), constitutional innovations like this version of the legislative veto, Gramm Rudman, or other such methods are usually found to be unconstitutional by the court.

INS v. Chadha ruled against Congress regarding the legislative veto where one, two or sometime even a committee could veto an executive action. In the case of Chadha, it was Congress vetoing his ability to stay in the US.

The only thing they have left to offer is their nuclear program or the existence of the regime.

We can ratchet up pressure by making it known that we are negotiating for open elections where the Guardian Council does not get to decide who is allowed to run. My guess is that they would rather give up nukes and missiles than see that happen.

I negotiate for a living. I think the problem with ‘negotiating’ with Iran is that it doesn’t have a centralized decision-making body that can ‘agree’ to things that bind the country. That is probably by design.

It’s a similar problem to negotiating with a big corporation with multiple layers of reviews and approvals. You think you got a deal, but then find out another 25 people have to review and approve it.

Much easier to negotiate with a single decision-maker or small group of them.

239 Breaking News: Zoe Kravitz is showing off her engagement ring from Harry Styles, the former One Direction bandmate.

Zoe's ring appears to be a ten-carat oval-shaped diamond set in yellow gold. It was probably custom-made and costs around $1 million.

Kravitz has told friends that she said yes right away to Styles's 'old-fashioned, romantic' proposal because she is 'madly in love with him.' Mr. Styles apparently supports her in a beautiful, kind way, according to a friend of Ms. Kravitz.

3% is sufficient for nuclear power. Everything above that is for making bombs.

Now, it's "end the blockade (new element), guarantee no more attacks, negotiate nuke stuff later".

I'm optimistic that there's little chance they will ever meet any of our key minimal demands. Like Saddam in the fall of 1990, they just don't understand they can both survive and improve their odds in the medium run by just caving on something key, and let the indolence, lack of seriousness, and weakness of the west (US included, most of the time) to pave their path ahead.

297 Iran: How About We Postpone All Talks About Our Nuke Program While You End the Embargo, Like Obama Did?
—Disinformation Expert Ace

The Iranians are like, "we own the dirt, come and take it."

Trump's blind spot, "Let's make a deal," has taken the wind of the military attacks. Seems the next move by Trump is to make the Iranians "a deal they can't refuse," and then enforce it.

This entrenched barbaric death cult has no intention of reaching a peace deal and is likely counting on the USA committing to WII style regime change effort. As a side effect this would give Schumer his first hard in decades when he is daydreaming about becoming the Senate leader again.

If we own a few of those islands, and have bases, and patrol, and it is paid for by the oil we extract (or toll we put on passage) then we would be OK. We would have the lever against the Iranian economy and that would control them.

But to get there, we have to convince the world that it is the only viable solution. That is what he is doing now.

The Iranians are negotiating like rug merchants, hoping that domestic politics (i.e., the midterms) get the better of our side. Time to "make them an offer they can't refuse." Put a Marine MEU on Kharg Island and seize control of the spigot, after a hellacious aerial bombardment.

When the Bullets Stopped Flying, Alcoholic "Journalist" Karens Focused On What Really Matters, and Looted 147 Wine Bottles from the Venue

Incredible. Give yourselves all a media award for Stunning Bravery.


Peter Girnus 🦅
@gothburz

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.

The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.

A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.

Everything else was improvised.

I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.

What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.

I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.

She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.

The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.

The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.

That's priority.

The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.

A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.

That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.

I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.

I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.

188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.

A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

43 Huge fight leading to guns drawn at this absolutely trashy wedding and reception I went to in WV. Nonetheless, there was a few halfway decent bottles of Chianti at the open bar (for some reason). Nicked one and dipped, drank it in my hotel room.

There are a lot of things for which I would look down on someone in attendance at that event. Swiping the wine is not one of them.

Just surprised they didn't try to serve that ridiculous Trump wine

Journalists are known for wearing fur coats as opposed to the Maga-royals. /s

I saw this article before and was wondering why it made the news. Who cares if someone took a bottle or two off the table when the event was effectively over?

If you consider the source, it’s merely yet another weak attempt to paint “fake news media” as thieving scoundrels because everyone knows journalists are “librul”.

They apparently had Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay and Columbia Crest Cab Sav from Horse Heaven Hills. They’re passable wines for under $10 but I just do not see a reason to take cheap wine home with me. I’ll drink it if that’s what is there for dinner, but it’s not worth carrying even to a room.

Posted by: Jack Squat Bupkis

Went to see the Adam West Batman movie in college. (They were always showing old movies somewhere on the Michigan campus in the 80s.) Batman is trying to dispose of a humorously big bomb with a lit fuse by throwing it off a boat into the water, but everywhere he looks there's someone there (including a family of ducks), so he can't throw the bomb. ("Somedays you just can't rid of a bomb," he remarks, drily.) One of the parties that he doesn't want to drop the bomb on is a bunch of guys sitting on a pier drinking.

Robin says to Batman something like, "Why do care what happens to them? They're just a bunch of dirty drunks!"

"Yes, they're drunks," Batman responds. "But they're also human beings."

The whole auditorium of drunk college kids responded in applause and shouts of "All right, Batman!"

Good times.

1 hour(2-3 drinks in) beginning a nice drinking buzz , must of been a major bummer to have the bar closed at that point. the drinking pros are now only focused on thier next drink. so yea, its easy spot the pros who are now tipping the bottle and stashing them for the trip to the next -open- bar.

I have noticed that, suddenly, many random people are all writing with the same distinctive voice. On the one hand, it's a good, punchy style; on the other hand, it's distractingly same-y after the first few. On the gripping hand, most people are simply not equipped to write effectively on their own power, so instead of smothering their natural voice, it may be seen a similar kind of empowerment as image gen for people who can't draw.

Instead, he spent $3 million and it's almost done.

Hilarious. Because he is showing the whole country that its just a shithole of corruption. He called up three large swimming pool contractors and took bids. To grout the granite and then apply a swimming pool sealant. Sure it will only last 15 years or so, but still a shit ton cheaper and didn't take 3 fcking years. It won't leak like a sieve either.

Thank you. It is appreciated. I told her via text the car was totaled and they picked it up this morning. She hasn't responded. She did tell the wife that she didn't know what to say about it.

It will be some time before she gets another one, and she'll have to get her own insurance as we're likely removing her from our policies. If we're not forced to anyway.

I do plan to hopefully make it to the NoVaMoMe in the future, so maybe it would be possible to meet.

Hi Jacqui! This is satirical fiction. I'm not a WHCD producer: it's a first-person fictional narrator I use as a rhetorical device, a format I write in regularly. The piece uses real footage of guests grabbing wine bottles during an active-shooter evacuation to ask a question about priorities. I respect your reporting on the actual event.

DeSantis Unveils New Congressional Map for Florida, Flipping Four Democrat Seats to Republicans

He told them that if they f***ed around, they would find out.

They're not finding out.


Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped a political bomb on Monday, unveiling a new congressional map for Florida that he says will finally give the Sunshine State the representation it deserves -- and if it holds up, Republicans could walk away with four additional U.S. House seats heading into the 2026 midterms.


The proposal is a mid-decade redraw of Florida's congressional districts, and it's already getting a friendly reception. Republicans control both chambers of the Florida legislature, so passage is more a matter of when than if. Once the map clears the House and Senate, it comes back to DeSantis for his signature.

The governor has been telegraphing this move for a while, and he's not shy about explaining why. Florida was "shortchanged" in the 2020 Census, DeSantis argues, despite explosive population growth and a seismic shift in the state's political landscape. The state has gone from a Democratic voter-registration advantage to a 1.5-million Republican edge -- a transformation that the current congressional map simply doesn't reflect.

"Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we've been fighting for fair representation ever since," DeSantis said.

But his argument isn't just political -- he's also making a constitutional case. The existing district lines, he contends, were drawn based on race, and that's a problem. "Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited," DeSantis said, framing the remap as both a legal correction and a democratic one.

That image makes it look like there's just one Democrat district, but there are four. There are three on the east coast which aren't visible because the image is cropped on the right.

Hakeem Jeffries, the nephew of black supremacist and cuckoo racial conspiracy theorist Leonard Jeffries, is threatening to come to Florida to campaign against the map.

DeSantis begs him to come. He says he'll put him up in the Governor's Mansion, because nothing would animate Republicans more than seeing this jackass invading their state.


Meanwhile, Leonard Jeffries' nephew is threatening the Virginia Supreme Court, which is now hearing arguments over the illegal Virginia gerrymander: Rule the way we want or else.

47 [Tangentially-Related, ICYMI:]

"The U.S. Supreme Court formally reinstated Texas’s GOP-favored congressional map on April 27, 2026, reversing a lower court ruling that had blocked it over concerns of racial gerrymandering. The 6–3 decision, with the court’s conservative majority prevailing, allows the new district lines — approved by the Republican-led legislature in August 2025 and signed by Governor Greg Abbott — to remain in place for the 2026 elections."

I was under the assumption every blue/purple state had already maxed out the gerrymandering for Dems, but I guess not.
Posted by: Leupold at April 27, 2026 03:02 PM (5qP1

This is simply the amuse bouche. The main course will be when SCOTUS rules that majority-minority districts are unconstitutional. The three libs on the Court may hold off on a dissent until June in hopes of the ruling not affecting the 2026 midterms, but that's coming. The dessert is going to be the redistricting after the 2030 Census.

There's something to be said for staying and fighting in a blue state to try and save it (I'm in CT, so I get that argument), but when people vote with their feet and make red states redder and more populous, that's when the fun really begins.

Starmer is completely incapable of doing anything at this point but hire rent boys. Charles is their best shot to avoid as much pain as possible.

Just over 250 years ago, the Continental Congress tried to finesse their conflict with the UK as a revolt against Parliament, not the King. The Prime Minister, Lord North, was the day's villian. It was only after George III made his antipathy towards the American colonies unmistakably clear that the Congress moved (rather quickly) to a full break with the Crown.

It won't be much different today.

That said, he's had the good sense to take it well, and re group. For someone without any real world experience in running an organization before he got into politics he has done a good job as gov of florida and that is a good sign.

195 @Jkylebass

Wow. Chinese operatives are using mobile SMS blasters to hijack cell towers and access nearby phones. A group of Chinese nationals was charged in Toronto in what is a highly coordinated scheme. The indictment is worth a listen…truly staggering

UnveiledChina@Unveiled_ChinaX

A car. A fake cell tower. 13 million network disruptions. And three Chinese nationals who just made Canadian legal history for all the wrong reasons.

Toronto Police have wrapped up Project Lighthouse, Canada's first ever documented case of a vehicle-mounted SMS blaster being deployed against the public. The device was hidden inside a moving vehicle, driving across the Greater Toronto Area for months starting in late 2025.

======

2026 is a largely unimportant election.

2028 will be hugely important because of the Census. A Vance (or Rubio) presidency that controls the Census can enforce real counting (the 2020 was...estimated, very seriously). In addition, Trump started the pattern of using every federal officer as deputized immigration enforcement, which, if continued, would actively discourage illegals from answering the door of census takers (assuming illegals have to be counted, which is not a closed legal questions, the suit was dropped due to mootness after Biden changed the rules in 2021).

Plus, the great migration continues.

Huge shift in the House and electoral college incoming.

It's my understanding that both TX and FL have very few unsafe Red seats. That the gerrymanders were actually done quite intelligently, unlike both the CA and VA maps which are recipes for blowback.

I disagree. Rumor has it that SCOTUS is ready to rule on whether minority set-aside districts are forbidden instead of required, and the dissenters are slow-walking the issuance of the ruling; reading the behavior, this means that the majority ruled in favor of it being forbidden, and the power-hungry leftists are trying to filibuster red states from re-districting in time.

So, what DeSantis is doing here is positioning this redrawing of the map as being required by the imminent SCOTUS decision. Once it's issued, it will (if the tea leaves have been read correctly) moot any challenges to this new map on a "civil rights" basis. But, he isn't waiting for the ruling to be issued, thus defanging the nasty commie powermongers' attempt to prevent the demanded reform from hitting the midterms. I'm not a fanboy; this is legitimately good, clever tactical maneuvering.

Once it's issued, it will (if the tea leaves have been read correctly) moot any challenges to this new map on a "civil rights" basis. But, he isn't waiting for the ruling to be issued, thus defanging the nasty commie powermongers' attempt to prevent the demanded reform from hitting the midterms. I'm not a fanboy; this is legitimately good, clever tactical maneuvering.

269 255 As long as one attempts to keep the districts compact... the cities pretty much become districts with big chunky rural blocks taking up the rest of the state.
If your goal is to maximize districts with 51% D you slice that city
Into as many thin pie slices as you can then absorb Repubs far out into the countryside. Using that method there is no reason a state with 51% D cannot get 100% D seats... just lack of putting the effort into it.

Also not a fan boy. This is my read as well. Desantis is a pretty good lawyer I think. He understands not just tactics but also strategy. He is very competent at his current job certainly. He is marginally more likable than say Ted Cruz - who I did kind of like but realized would never be electable on a national basis. Ron's appeal is selective. He'll do pretty well in the south.

Michigan is similar. The redistricting team was given a requirement that the overall D/R split of seats should be consistent with voting results.

So 90% Detroit/Wayne County got split up in an attempt to food some red areas with Dem votes, leading to some wacky districts out in the boonies.

296 Objectively urban, suburban, and rural areas should get their own districts.

Originally, states often had a republican system similar to how states worked, dividing their districts by natural boundaries or natural polities.

The Supreme Court ruled that the responsibility to “guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of government” meant that no state could have a Republican form of government.

By its nature, trying to make population-equal districts is going to make weirdly shaped districts, and be very tempting to form those weirdly shaped districts into partisan guarantees.

New Documents: FBI Opened and Then Immediately Closed a Fakey-Fake "Inquiry" Into the Clinton Foundation's Obvious Pay-for-Play Scheme with Foreign Governments

One surmises that Wray's FBI opened the investigation only because of pressure from some Republicans, and then immediately closed it and said "Nothing to see here, move along."

Margot Cleveland for The Federalist:


This morning Sen. Chuck Grassley released the FBI Washington Field Office's 12-page "electronic communication" (EC) that opened a preliminary investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Its extensive evidence of potential pay-to-play criminality among the Clinton family confirms the politicalization and weaponization of the Department of Justice.

Late last year, another trove of documents--also released by Grassley--summarized the origins of three separate FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation, opened respectively out of the New York, Little Rock, and Washington D.C. field offices. As The Federalist reported at that time, those documents indicated that Ray Hulser, then head of the Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section (PIN), did not support the investigations into the Clinton Foundation and withheld information from the U.S. attorney's office running the probe out of Little Rock.

...


Hulser's refusal to open an investigation out of PIN, and his excuse that the FBI presented the case "poorly," just cannot be reconciled with the detailed summary contained in the EC that is now public. As Grassley highlighted in a letter sent today to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, "Included in the FBI's EC are numerous allegations of foreign influence concerns that arose 'from speaking fees and donations to the [Clinton] Foundation.'"

The Iowa senator then pulls a few examples from the Washington Field Office's opening communication, beginning with donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million from the then-head of the Russia government's uranium company, Uranium One.

The EC is not limited to evidence about Uranium One. It also details evidence of donations to the Clinton Foundation from an executive of Polo Resources. Eight weeks later, it says, the U.S. ambassador to Bangladesh persuaded the prime minister to reauthorize pit mining, including one in which Polo Resources had an interest. Another section of the EC highlights evidence suggesting a pay-to-play scheme involving Colombian timber and another Clinton Foundation donor.

The FBI EC also notes that Hillary Clinton traveled to Russia, where she allegedly prompted >o?"Russian officials to enter into a $3.7 billion aircraft purchase with Boeing," then two months later Boeing pledged $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation.>o? The EC further discussed the Haitian government awarding Hillary Clinton's brother a "rare 'gold exception permit' (the first issued in 50 years)...during the same time period in which 'billions of U.S. tax dollars had been spent in Haiti, following the Haitian earthquake in 2010.'"

What--if anything--the FBI did to investigate these additional potential pay-to-play schemes before the Department of Justice closed the investigations in 2016 is unclear. What we do know, though, is that after Donald Trump's election in 2016, Little Rock was able to reopen its investigation, but Hulser and the Department of Justice continued to interfere in the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.

Read the whole thing.

101 The Clintons were clever in buying people’s loyalty via the foundation and donations from Hillary’s war chest For example, the foundation hosted events with VIPs (world leaders, etc.) and would ask a journalist to host the discussion. Now they’ve given the journalist access to these VIPs and a resume boost. The chances of them then writing something critical of the Clintons diminishes after each opportunity extended to them. They helped build theater, maybe even did them other favors (I recall one journalist saying the foundation helped when his kid was ill, so he recused himself).

While Hillary was a Senator she was a big time fundraiser. She made sure to then donate to each New Democrat Congressman and Senator that they owed her their loyalty, too, since they didn’t yet have a big “war chest “ to fend off rivals in the next election. Wash post wrote a glowing article about this activity by Hillary.

The right needs to learn how to do that. And when the left's judge(s) tell them to let these people out, they need to put the judge in prison too.

Do this enough times, to enough people and some new found respect will likely follow. At the very least, some of this bullshit will stop. As it is now, there's absolutely no fear of consequences for the left. None. That needs to change BAMN.

Just a guess but someone apparently twisted Jordan’s dick off during one of his later stage legendary collegiate wrestling matches. Snatched his nuts too. Dickless and nutless Jim is no threat to The Left. Jim has ridden those tolled up sleeves and sternly worded letters to great personal wealth. ….advancing the America. First interests? Not so much…not at all.

Read the whole manifesto. Looked at the videos.

What strikes me is that this guy, except for being thoroughly lefty brainwashed ('Rapist in Chief'), could have been one of our crowd. This wasn't crazed. It was well thought out and carefully executed.

And there's nothing funny about it.

Until you get to his 'PS' rant about the Secret Service which I swear I have heard word for God damned word from guys on our side. I got half way through and was bawling in laughter at his confusion about how they could just suck so very very badly.
