Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Week In WokeLet's start out with some good news from the weekend, which I missed. David Harsanyi:I know that not all of you are history buffs like I am, so I'll explain, Lyndon Johnson was an Indian Hunter and Abraham Lincoln's vice president. Harsanyi has some thoughts about what departments need to be cut more. Like this, maybe: Trump slashes funding for woke "education." President Trump is moving to rescind nearly $1 billion in federal spending, including $95 million in Department of Education funding for programs the White House says supported ideological initiatives and services for illegal aliens. The White House announced the rescissions on Sept. 25, targeting $25 million for the Department of Education's Special Programs for Migrant Students and $70 million for international education programs, alongside cuts across other federal agencies.Colleges are using taxpayer funds to rebrand Columbus Day as "Indigenous People's Day." Several colleges and universities are using institutional resources and government-backed grants for "Indigenous Peoples' Day" programming around Oct. 12, which is also Columbus Day. Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, California, is promoting an Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration centered on "community, resilience, and connection." The event description says the celebration will "honor our ancestors" and feature drumming, Native dancers, and speakers. A Santa Rosa Junior College public information officer told Campus Reform that the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office's Native American Student Support and Success Program grant "funds the Native American Center and its activities." The state program received $30 million in one-time funding for up to 20 colleges. Its stated goals include strengthening educational pathways, promoting Native American students' academic success, developing leaders, and increasing mentorship.San Francisco provides dorms for pedophiles and sex offenders and it's not prison. Incredible: A black webzine claims that black immigrants' rape of native whites is actually a good thing as it increases diversity. "AFRU" calls rapes "quasi-consensual encounters." LoveThat's the topic folder this is under: "Love." "Sexual assaults" are "quasi-consensual encounters." Please let in more Aspiring Doctors and Engineers who quasi-consensually rape the native population. It's unfortunate, but true. Language gaps and cultural misunderstandings often mean that the first romantic encounter between a Western woman and a refugee can be perceived as quasi-consensual in nature. Usually it starts with a halting conversation or an awkward cat call at a park, a refugee language class, or a volunteer dinner. But increasingly these encounters result in a shared apartment, a mixed-race child, a new surname, and a happy future. A quiet revolution is taking shape across Europe and North America, and it's being led by white Western women. They're not performing acts of charity, nor engaging in fetishism or exoticism.Do you want mass forced deportations? Because this is exactly how you get mass forced deportations. A group argues that simple civility in discourse is inherently "conservative" and "pro-Israel." I think that's actually correct -- because the left's entire sick schtick is hateful, crazed denunciations, attempts to cancel people and menace them, and calls for actual violence. So yes, stripping the left of its weapons is "conservative" and "pro-Israel," in the sense that it limits terrorists' actions. Because the terrorists want to go jihad on Jewish students and not just that, they want to do their pogroms with the express support of governmental and educational authorities. Telling them they can't beat up Jews and menace them stifles their ability to use Violence as the Speech of the Unheard. Don't believe me? Remember this professor of Islam? FCC head Brendan Carr scolds leftists for opposing ratings for TV show including warnings about transgender content. He has thrice publicly excoriated congressional Democrats in the past two weeks for opposing the shorthanded commission's work to "ensure that parents have the information necessary to decide what is appropriate for their own kids and families to watch," as Carr posted Monday afternoon on X and had reposted by Tuesday morning in case anyone missed it. Carr first blasted "nearly 70" Democratic lawmakers Sept. 28 for "pushing to prevent parents from having any say over their children being exposed to controversial gender identity ideologies" on TV, referring to a June 5 letter from Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and a June 22 letter led by California Rep. Mark Takano, signed by 68 House Democrats in all. He pointed to Disney Jr.'s 2018 reboot of the 1980s cartoon Muppet Babies, which in the episode "Gonzo-rella" has male Gonzo wearing a "princess dress to a royal ball," passing as a girl and going by plural pronouns. Netflix's Strawberry Short Cake reboot "promotes a trans character that wears clothing that matches the transgender pride flag," Carr said. Contrary to these brands promoting themselves as "family friendly [...] the FCC's record is now replete with all sorts of examples of Hollywood and New York programmers going around parents to promote their gender ideologies," he said.

"A black webzine claims that black immigrants' rape of native whites is actually a good thing as it increases diversity."
Odd that the "webzine" only focuses on white women in supposedly consensual relationships with these barbaric savages. What about white men with lady savages? The article is pure rubbish and wishcasting because the only kind of white women who pretends to care about these barbaric savages are AWFuL types who wouldn't be caught dead with an illegal in their house, let alone willingly date one. Normal white women -- and normal black and all normal women -- will avoid these barbaric savages like the plague. The only sex these savages are having with any American women are rapes.

North Carolina is deliberately and systematically falsifying arrest records to make arrests seem more Racially Diverse, falsely claiming that Hispanics are "Caucasian" -- Yes, Hispanics are categorized as "white" or "black," and that's fine, but they cannot be called "Caucasian" -- and blacks, of course, are just categorized as "white."
I did mention this before but I was a computer consultant with a company that had a system to track government childcare dollars. There were race codes in the system - white, black, asian, and a few others. I talked to my clients and the issue of hispanics came up. The counselors would ask them what race they were. And the people would say "I'm Latino" instead of white or black. To avoid arguments, the counselors were basically told to look at them and decide. Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy - 105 years old!

A quiet revolution is taking shape across Europe and North America, and it's being led by white Western women. They're not performing acts of charity, nor engaging in fetishism or exoticism.
And here I thought all mixed-race sexual encounters were automatically categorized as fetishism and exoticism. Maybe that's only the case when people who are not leftist white women are doing it. Obviously it can't be the case that the "immigrants" are engaging in fetishism or exoticism toward white women, because everyone knows that black and brown "immigrants" aren't fully realized human beings with their own cultures, desires, and goals. /sarc Posted by: FeatherBlade at October 09, 2026 03:24 PM (vJrRc) 28

Your average American Indian raped and killed 10 times more people than Columbus ever did.
Why are we celebrating those rapists and murderers? Who deserved to lose their land because all they did was rape, pillage and kill their neighbors and had no interest in animal husbandry, agriculture or any other hallmarks of civilization. But for the white man saving a remnant, they'd be completely forgotten by all of history. They should be thanking us. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at October 09, 2026 03:25 PM (3cUTc) 30

The problem with listing Hispanics as white is that they also list Asians, Indians, natives, Arabs, etc as white too. Anyone not listed as black, counts as white. So when people ask about crime stats you get black or white. White Caucasian crime stats aren't singled out without a whole lot of others thrown into the mix. By design?

Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white Western women may help with assimilation. Increasingly they result in a shared apartment and a new surname. I have a suspicion that the sexual aspect of this IS important to Karens, look at someone like Jamey Carney who had a very personal reason for bringing in young male invaders to the country and her vajajay.

If I thought they would listen and comprehend, I'd tell them that the money to employ all those federal employees comes directly out of their pockets, via taxes.

He is making his followers hate federal employees, creating the narrative that government workers are a drain on the economy. These people cheering have no idea how anything works. If the statement “run the country like a business” makes sense to you, I know you don’t understand business or how countries work.
Back in the early 2000s a guy was found dead in the woods with "fed" scratched into him. He'd been a part time census worker but...that's it for being a fed. The FNM went bonkers claiming Shrub was demanding his voters murder federal employees and this was the result. The police investigated and pointed out the guy had killed himself and the story slowly dissipated. But the notion that right leaning voters loved government workers before Trump is...comical.

--- Remember: The real lesson of "Not Without My Daughter" is that men, western men, need to do more to protect women from their choices. It was not her fault that she fell in love with Mr. Abdul Mohammed and let him move her and her child to Goatrapeistan. Nope. All the modern liberal woman sees is a love story where her father and brother(s) didn't save her in time. See, they should have given him a job, a career, a house, counseling, anything, something, everything so he would not have moved them. That way, she could have lived out her love story.

New WH Press Secretary. Sit down people. She's a smoking hot blonde. The House has reportedly found a new press secretary to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who was the youngest Press Secretary in history. Katie Zacharia, a lawyer, conservative media personality, and former DHS spokeswoman, has been offered the position. It is unclear whether she has accepted or when she would begin. The New York Times reported on Friday, Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator who briefly worked at the Department of Homeland Security, has been chosen as the next White House press secretary, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Hey remember when a rodeo clown lost his job because he wore an Obama mask and this was claimed to be a threat against the SCOAMF's life? He described Woods as an 18-year-old with no criminal history and said the student never intended to harm anyone.Another Innocent Baby Angel Who Didn't Do Nuffin'.

Three Black University of South Alabama students were arrested and charged with making threats on social media towards President Trump. Ahead of Trump’s visit to Alabama on October 2 to the Mitchell Center. These charges can potentially derail their future, and these Crackas know that. Had it been Little Johnny and not Lil Amare, they would’ve dismissed those posts as a young kid just talking and would have taken his ENTIRE privileged future into consideration, before pressing charges. That hoe Justice, ain’t never been blind. And she’ll sell herself to the highest and whitest bidder. Smh Really weird that the party of free speech is taking such a hard line stance on free speech. The president literally just threatened LA in San Diego with annihilation. Fuck that dude. we can't afford to play into these jokers' hands, law enforcement and the justice system have always been weaponized against us and folks that don't hate and mistreat us.

This does hit at the core of the left's anti-Trump strategy in an interesting way.
Though Trump is a fairly moderate politician by pre-2016 standards, the left argues he's literally Hitler. And of course calling for violence against Hitler isn't just ok its a good thing. But now there is actually a cost to calling for that violence, because of course Trump isn't Hitler and the American system bans assassination of its pols. So the left has to choose - continue the Hitler line and go to jail, or acknowledge Trump isn't an OrangeHitler clone... Posted by: 18-1 at October 09, 2026 02:27 PM (sKqQm) 64

>>>If you're interested in killing a president, it's the right sort of timing, isn't it?
It is that someone, or some system has indicated that it is perfectly OK, or even moral and righteous to make threats, accusations and overt plans like this. It is part of the mob mentality that goes with dehumanization necessary to discriminate or cancel. Discrimination and cancelling give gutless, useless idiots power that they would not have otherwise, and give status within the mob. They can make up cutesy insults, and assign intent, and say the world would be better without that particular point of view that says theirs is wrong. But hey, for that group, it is just the socially binding thing to do, make accusations and find the smallest evidence that making violent threats is justified. Punch a nazi. Punch a denier. After all, they justify genocide, right? Posted by: Kindltot at October 09, 2026 02:31 PM (rbvCR) 76

Posted by: Count de Monet at October 09, 2026 03:29 PM (wVcYX) Trump Announces That Almost 500 Criminal Fraudsters Have Been Arrested While Living in Taxpayer-Funded Public HousingThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD OIG) today announced the results of Operation Clean House, a multi-agency, multi-month law enforcement initiative targeting fugitives living in HUD-assisted housing. ... Persons arrested included those wanted on outstanding felony warrants for serious offenses, including drug trafficking, weapons offenses, aggravated assault, fraud, rape, second-degree murder, sex offenses against children, and possession or manufacture of an incendiary device. In addition, 10 firearms were also seized during the operations. "This year, we have made one thing unmistakably clear: HUD OIG has zero tolerance for individuals who threaten the safety of people residing in HUD-assisted housing, jeopardize the families who live there, or exploit the programs designed to serve them," said Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison. "We have taken an aggressive approach to identifying and removing fugitives from these communities, and neighborhoods are safer because of it." "These arrests are only one part of our strategy," Harrison continued. "Our investigators, auditors, evaluators, and analysts are attacking threats to HUD programs from every direction. Whether it is violent criminals hiding in HUD-assisted housing, fraudsters stealing taxpayer dollars, or weaknesses that leave federal housing programs vulnerable to abuse, we will use every authority and every tool available to protect these programs and the people they serve." "Operation Clean House should also send a clear message. HUD-assisted housing will not be treated as a haven for fugitives. Working with our federal, state, and local partners, HUD OIG will continue to pursue those who threaten these communities and undermine the integrity of HUD programs. The extraordinary results of this operation would not have been possible without the dedication and professionalism of our law enforcement partners."Obviously this all could have been done decades ago. It doesn't require hiring more federal officials, or pouring billions more into the government. It just requires a president willing to actually arrest criminal fugitives. Something we haven't had for decades. And speaking of something that just required a drop of will: Pete Hegseth says Nidal Hassan's firing squad execution will be livestreamed. Hegseth told Human Events' Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a "no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he's a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we're gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad."

======== Our problem hasn't been Congress for a long time. It's been the presidency. There are hosts of laws that people are breaking to make our nation worse, and the executive branch has, at best, picked at the edges of it. Getting the executive to actually enforce this stuff for the first time in decades is really game changing.

"All of them living off HUD assistance. That housing is meant for struggling American families!"
There should be no such thing as HUD assistance. Not for anyone. I'm sick and tired of paying for someone else's failures, bad life choices, degeneracy, and sloth and ignorance. How much blood from my veins do these people want? They get direct welfare payments, free food, free medical, free school, free housing, free drugs, and probably free sex. All paid for by productive taxpayers. Why the fuck am I -- or anyone else -- funding any of this? Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 09, 2026 01:14 PM (iFTx/) 11

6 500 would be a drop in the bucket
Posted by: nckate Given the average rap sheet, I would suspect incarcerating these thugs will prevent additional multiple crimes from being committed. That is the broken windows thesis which Rudy and the NYPD proved correct. Even prosecuting fare jumpers while seemingly trivial ended up reducing violent crime because roughly 2 percent of the population are hard core criminals 24/7 365 days per year. Societies either have to lock them up to incapacitate them from committing more crimes or kill them. Research on the effects of the Bloody Code in UK history corroborate this effect btw. In the UK case, they chose to execute them. Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 01:21 PM (E4rtv) 47

Hey, anyone know how to get a video rec. to Ace? (watch?v=E0PHoy_4Wi4) It is a lot of chaff, but there is a section where interviewee talks about Trump's work with WWF and Celebrity Apprentice, and he makes a really good point which it right in Ace's wheelhouse.
Hulk Hogan made a switch to heel in order to revive the brand, and it worked - the public loved to hate him and attendance exploded. His thesis is that Trump is often "playing the heel" in what he says and does. It is just to make himself a lovable villain, knowing that it is best way to get attention to whatever it is he is working to promote at the time. This line of thinking is very Scott Addams-esque -- identify a subject you want the public to discuss, play the heel and do outrageous things, keeping aligned with the goal but going against what all the right people think is proper. It's all kayfabe. I think a good example is the firing line execution -- it's a great opportunity to grab the headline. It's like throwing a folding chair at the ref.

>>Looks like I'm in the minority here....
I understand your concern. I'm not a ghoul who enjoys seeing people die. But Hasan is a jihadist, one of many who have either already murdered Americans or who are planning on it. They only way to stop them is to make it clear we can be every bit as vengeful as they are and we won't back down. We're in a war for our civilization and that is not an exaggeration. We didn't ask for this fight but we sure as hell can't back down from it and they need to know there is a new sheriff in town and the gloves are off.

Our side mostly lost the execution debate when we allowed the bleeding-heart commie softcocks to dictate the terms of the debate. Sound familiar?
To me, the main reason and purpose behind capital punishment has little to do with deterrence. I think it does deter future misconduct, but that opened the door to fraudulent debate and fake statistics that the commies used to undermine the deterrence justification. The main reason for capital punishment has always been retribution. If you commit heinous crimes, you have forfeited your status as a human being, and society has every right -- indeed, a duty -- to kill you dead. Capital punishment is right, it's moral, it's reasonable, and every society from the beginning of mankind up until about 50 years ago -- when the west got limp dicks and saggy balls -- understood this.

Zero tolerance for thug life renters works like a charm - when it's allowed to happen.
Back in the 90s in my hometown (Syracuse) an elderly retired (and well off) native was appalled by the state of the infrastructure - and crime rates - he saw in his family's old apartment complex. It was several dozen brick 1-story bldgs dating back to when it was a mostly Italian-American neighborhood, nor it was very very majority minority - and kinda of a hellhole for normal non-criminal renters. So..... he bought it - spent to renovate it up to snuff (one building at a time so current residents could still be residents) - hired PT roving security from among the residents - and instituted new :stay safe" policies renter had to agree to to rent. (1) Zero tolerance for any drug activity - no using - no selling. Eviction if witnessed or police documents document it. (2) No guns allowed. Same same. (3) The above applies for ANY resident OR "guest" - if your (say) grandson or just "friend" is dealing or armed on site - you get evicted. No "but I had no idea my grandson who's parents threw him out for drug use but I let stay with me so he wouldn't be homeless was dealing / doing drugs" exception Posted by: BobM at October 09, 2026 01:34 PM (6tmKi) 120

Used to have to travel down to Atlanta for corporate training many years ago. They used to put us all up in this very nice hotel in Roswell. However, right next door literally on the other side of a wooden fence was HUD housing.
Every night...every single one, there were gunshots, lots of fights right out in their parking lot area, visible drug deals at selected lamp posts in that same lot, and some of the loudest and most obese women I've ever seen yelling at anyone and everyone who looked their direction. I can't imagine why criminals would find such an area a good place to hide. Hell, those with a warrant on their ass were likely the most civilized of the group.

It just requires a president willing to actually arrest criminal fugitives.
Something we haven't had for decades. This is key but it raises the question: why? Why were they not willing to do anything about it? Why did they not want to enforce the law? I think the bulk of it comes down to money. Even if these fraudsters are not donating heavily to the Democrats (which many of them are), all the money that goes to them goes through the hands of bureaucrats who get a piece of every dollar. I bet some of you are unaware that every dollar that goes to child support after a divorce goes through the government and they skim off a piece of it like a mob boss. Its a pretty good revenue generator for the government. Every dollar that goes to fraudsters comes from the feds, and the feds only give that money if there's a demand for it, and the states get a piece of that money for "costs". And then there's the racial aspect where leftists think that the poor childlike minority really doesn't know right from wrong so we can't hold them accountable, and after all they've been oppressed by white people so hard for so long that its only justice to let them bilk us.

Posted by: toby928(c) I understand that such practices are the way of war in that part of the world... and probably the only safe course of action; the surrendering terrorists are likely booby trapped... and I was going to say that letting the surrender and killing them later might take more Houthis out of the fight faster, but then I tripped over my own counterpoint to my objection.

Republican registration is also up significantly and so is early Republican voting. Posted by: JackStraw Pretty much. Every swing state has had increased GOP registration since 2026 while states were forced in to purge voters. Oregon had to so much that Drazen now has a chance at flipping the Governor's office in OR. Hilton in CA is also not getting blown out possibly by Becerra. PA, ground zero for Scott Presley, is where we see his work in raising GOP registrations is paying off in increased absentee ballot requests by GOP voters in PA. Couple of crucial house seats at issue there. NC and GA are the most problematic for GOP right now but even there, showing signs that the electorate will be older and whiter than even 2022.

It is just post after post of "I am Jane Doe" with the woman talking about her own sexual assault experience.

The administration that accused the Biden administration of "lawfare" adds to its ongoing pattern of going after and indicting people who appear to be enemies of or threats to it, lobbing apparently frivolous indictments and lawsuits. "The process is the punishment" may be the goal as these cases seem to lack substance.
From what I understand, they can't even sue the government in return for bringing these cases even if found to be hollow and tossed out or deemed vindictive prosecution. The process is the punishment. It's about making people think twice before they speak out about what they witnessed unless they want to find themselves in the same position. She got herself into all of this by aligning herself with the Trump/Pence clan in the first place, but I do feel bad for her. She had a reasonable expectation that her testimony might be a nail in the coffin on Trump's political career but like many of us she underestimated the public's willingness to scarf down Trump propaganda Oh yes, we all voted for Trump to prosecute a young woman, whose only apparent crime was to testify. /s Fucking traitors.

Why are there no lawsuits or at minimum, retaliatory ads describing why their lies? Talarico's PAC's are running an ad where they say Paxton gave an "Epstein style sweetheart deal" to a pedo who spent one day in jail. The TRUTH is, the guy was tried and the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial. They did NOT retry him because the parents of the minor in question, the lead witness for the prosecution, chose not to have the boy relive the pain of that again. No retrial, no conviction. But Paxton is the MOST CORRUPT EVAR!!!!!! Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at October 09, 2026 12:55 PM (ccf/V) 174

I've lived my adult life knowing that I wouldn't get anything from my family, so I've lived accordingly. The way the S-S handled things after my dad passed was pathetic and mostly a slap in the face, but I chalked it up to "to the winner goes the spoils" because her mom lived longer. I could've likely made myself the asshole and contested everything by pusing 'of sound mind' since the S-M has dementia and Alzheimer's......but that would've been horrible on her and not really solve much of anything.

Posted by: free tibet at October 09, 2026 02:27 PM (h6yWA) MORNING RANT - The Memphis Situation: Tennessee Shouldn't Need Federal Help; “Bake the Cake” Rules Should Apply to Pizza Parlor Denying Service to Guardsmen![]() • Sexual assaults down 30% • Robberies down 47% • Aggravated assault down 29% I am grateful to President Trump for coming to Memphis’ rescue, but Tennessee shouldn’t have to run to Uncle Sam to police our prominent failed city. If Memphis needs a takeover, the state should do it. I hope Marsha Blackburn will be more assertive as governor when it comes to dealing with Memphis than Governor Bill Lee has been. If Memphis cannot be rehabilitated, it should be dissolved into smaller municipalities. Those sub-sections of Memphis that are capable of becoming self-governing cities should be given that chance. Any remaining parts of Memphis that are not capable of self-government should become a ward of the state until they can be reconstructed into a functioning municipal entity. The same applies to Shelby County as a whole. Whatever restrictions there might be in Tennessee law that would impede this can easily be fixed by amending the state constitution. To be fair to Governor Lee, he did sign legislation a few months ago authorizing the state to take over Memphis’ failed schools. In accordance with the new law, the governor appointed an oversight board for Memphis schools, but Federal District Judge Waverly Crenshaw (an Obama appointee, of course) put a temporary restraining order on the new board. Fortunately, that restraining order is about to expire and it looks like the state will start administering Memphis schools. That is a start. As for the pizza incident involving the National Guard… “Memphis pizza joint owner under fire for denying service to National Guard troops” [NY Post – 7/16/2026] A Memphis pizzeria owner is facing fierce backlash after refusing over the weekend to serve members of the National Guard deployed to the city to combat crime. Miles Tamboli, proprietor of Tamboli’s Pasta & Pizza, sparked the controversy by turning away troops stationed in the city since September 2025 — and he declared in a Thursday statement that he would “make the same decision tomorrow.” Tamboli argued that utilizing soldiers trained for overseas combat in local law enforcement roles has compromised city safety.I would defend Mr. Tamboli’s right to refuse service to National Guardsmen - no matter how vulgar his actions might seem to me - if conservative business owners had a similar right to refuse service based on conscience, beliefs, and values. But that is not the case. There are two sets of rules based on the politics of the business owner. Per Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, public accommodations (which includes private businesses) may not deny service based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Tamboli’s Pizza is apparently free to deny service to Americans wearing their country’s military uniform, but Patriot Pizza is prohibited from denying service to gang members, cross-dressing men, or jihadis. The extent of how one-sided the denial-of-service rules are was evidenced by the Masterpiece Cakeshop case. Jack Phillips, a Christian, was willing to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, but he refused to create a custom cake with two groom toppers on it. The state of Colorado Civil Rights Commission pursued punitive actions, including mandatory re-education for Phillips and his staff for the purpose of making them endorse sex between two men. The case went to the Supreme Court where Justice Roberts and the Supremes effectively punted on the case, allowing the state of Colorado to continue its persecution of Mr. Phillips. Based on the Masterpiece Cakeshop precedent, it is only fair that Tamboli’s should be forced to make a custom pizza with “Support the National Guard” spelled out in pepperonis. Again, my original principles would be that both Masterpiece Cakeshop and Tamboli’s Pizza should be able to refuse service to anyone they want, including soldiers or gay men. But that is not to be. My succeeding principle is that the left must abide by the rules they impose on conservatives. Bake the pizza, bigot. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com] Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Laura Ingraham @IngrahamAngle 🚨 British teen ARRESTED over Facebook post. Fraser: “I had posted a numerous amount of posts criticizing the councillor… And I must have hit his nerve a bit, so he reported me to the police.” “As an elected official you’re supposed to be there to represent the people, not to be sitting on your phone getting paid to do nothing.” - It all started when Fraser noticed that councilman Simon Bennett showed up to a formal meeting in a T-shirt and shorts, which is still a big faux pas in jolly old England. At the next meeting, Bennett came dressed in a suit. Fraser posted to Facebook that the politician no longer looked "like a rent boy," which is a slang term for gay prostitutes. - Check the unique hairstyle at the link. https://tinyurl.com/2y7e68nz Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Where's My Cookie? at October 09, 2026 11:21 AM (ndZc7) 70

Posted by: Chuck Martel ====== Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates. They go visit Cuz in the country and do their gang banging thing right in Sleepytown USA. The thug diaspora after Katrina had N'Awlins hood rats spread throughout the south spiking crime levels whereever they ended up. Back when actual research was done, a guy at University of Memphis mapped crime--for a long time, it was confined in Memphis to the projects. Project housing closed, and welfare housing vouchers replaced it. After that, crime exploded across Memphis even in previously safe places due to Section 8 bringing in gang bangers to the magic dirt of safe areas. Became not safe areas in short order.

The Jaguar ad with no cars and lots of freaky looking people was universally mocked, especially here. They've now revealed the new model on which they've staked the company. It will cost 130k pounds (don't know what that is in real money), is all electric, and has no back window, so you have to see behind you via a camera.
It will be built entirely in Britain, but if they sell as many cars as they did last month (6), it won't matter. Their strategy is the Bud Lite strategy: we hate our current customers and want to drive them away, and bring in all NEW customers. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6WRnkmIm_I Posted by: Archimedes at October 09, 2026 11:32 AM (Riz8t) 112

We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work. I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health." ====== Rumors are that Talarico is a manic depressive aka bi-polar.

Posted by: Warai-otoko Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC. The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

He's too weird and too of the wrong party for a deep red state that has shifted massively to the right in the last decade. In a state where the establishment has actively been on its back heels and getting kicked out of office in favor of people like Ken Paxton, who is effectively the standard bearer of the replacement. The only thing that convinced people he had a shot was polling that made literally no sense including things like the white vote shifting 30 points in 2 years, which literally never happens.

The other was just Scogg being Scogg last afternoon who picks and chooses which target he is going to go after to pick a fight. Way back, he mentioned he found trolling entertaining which is typical of that type of commenter. Same mindset as people planning to start a bar fight even before they get drunk.

Not saying I'm good at it. Posted by: 88C+u Eh, I find personal insults from people that don't know me in the slightest amusing but don't have a problem with people going after whatever I post. Disagree, rage, whatever. I used to be a mod on a 2A website and been around on the net since Usenet groups and flaming wars were just part of the culture back then.

Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates.

Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 11:24 AM (E4rtv) Funny how at one time, neighborhoods without freeway exits were called racist, because it prevented the poor, but deserving to have access to jobs and social lives among the rich. Then, freeway exits were found to actually be racist because it allowed racists to live in the suburbs and still travel to jobs and cultural landmarks in city centers, without having to go through "ethnic" neighborhoods.

FWIW, this matters in PA because of contested House races.
"CA ET Nerd @earlyvotedata · 50m Pennsylvania Early Absentee Update 10/9: Republicans had another big swing their way with returns with a HUGE 1.92% gain over Democrats. They also gained slightly (+0.22%) with their new requests, which is something they need to keep up. You can see in the 3rd image the share % for each party and in the last few days Rs are really gaining. Overall, we are trending towards seeing something around 2022 and likely better for the GOP in terms of absentee volume being lower: that means a lower Democrat lead going into election day. Final returns for 2022 and 2024 are in the 4th image." Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 12:03 PM (E4rtv) 238

He's also probably doesn't like girls, IYKWIM. He doesn't even hide any of this. I'm very surprised the national guard went to this place in the first place.

From Hot Air:
Last week, Republicans effectively pulled the plug on Michael Whatley, who is running for Senate in North Carolina. Instead, they’re redirecting their funds to Kansas. That’s right, Kansas. And to put this into perspective, we’re not talking about a few thousand bucks being shuffled around. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars in canceled ad buys and pulled spending — the whole nine yards. Now here’s where we run into an issue: if we’re meant to believe that Republicans will hold the Senate, then that would surely mean holding onto North Carolina, right? While I’m no swampy consultant, I know Kansas is a far cry from a swing state, so if Republicans are cutting their losses in North Carolina to save Kansas, that paints a much, much bleaker picture than Congressional leadership would have us imagine.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider: GOP has so much money right now over the Dems that they are looking for places to spend it. CNBC story had it yesterday--GOP has raised about 800 million for the midterm while Democrats about 200. Speaker Johnson just raised another 30 million this past week which means in each competitive House race, that is about one million per race in more funding. So far, from ev and vote by mail requests, the electorate is much older and whiter than even 2022. Youth turnout is single digits. Pollsters, because yutes have smart phones and respond to text requests, have yutes as a far bigger part of the likely voter screens they use this year and GOP Gen X and Boomers have gone radio silent in response. The smart pollsters right now should be recalibrating weighting with real numbers as to the likely electorate. Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 12:16 PM (E4rtv) 272

Andrew Wyeth doesn't often do 'happy' scenes like Norman Rockwell. (Even his "Christina's World" is about a crippled woman facing, literally, an uphill struggle.) Although accurate, he doesn't try for photo-realism. What he does is effective through focus, color and perspective. In this one the focus is on the dead bird that couldn't survive the winter. The colors of the land are drab, the sky is dark and cold, and the trees in the distance are bare and stark. It is unromantic nature.
But it isn't despair. The viewer knows it is a season, not permanent. The plants in the foreground with their seed pods speak of new life to come. Not one of Wyeth's I would hang but it is worth the time to examine. Posted by: JTB at October 09, 2026 09:49 AM (yTvNw) 99

Poor ace.😢
Winter Fields, 1942 17 5/16 × 41 in. Andrew Wyeth Whitney Museum of American Art When many American artists were turning toward abstraction, Andrew Wyeth remained a realist, producing precise, evocative paintings of the places he knew best. Winter Fields depicts a dead, frozen crow Wyeth found near his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He took the bird into his studio, sketched it, and then painted it in exquisite detail from a worm’s-eye view, which magnifies the bird relative to its surroundings and thereby suggests the wider significance of its death. Completed during World War II, Winter Fields recalls similarly unflinching photographs of corpses lying on battlefields. Yet Wyeth resented comparisons of his work to photography and said he despised cameras. In fact, despite its apparent precision, Winter Fields subtly distorts reality. The distant trees are as sharply focused as the crow in the foreground—an impossibility for both the human eye and the camera lens. This visual effect compresses the pictorial space toward the surface, and is accentuated by the lacelike, overlapping blades of grass, which create a delicate surface pattern. A local, I'm biased.💖 Posted by: L - No nic... at October 09, 2026 10:00 AM (NFX2v) 127

Late to the morning thread, but more on the Indian tech crap. I recently traveled and when checking in to a hotel, there was no living human at the front desk. Instead there was a remote kiosk with a screen where "Gregory" was there to help check in and issue keys like an ATM. How can a hospitality industry operate with zero hospitality? I wonder how many individual hotels Gregory can manage from India? It was awful.

What the right considers to be "legal immigration" is a remnant of a memory from the 1950s, not the reality of American immigration since Ted Kennedy spewed forth that immigration bill in the 60s.

The core problem with Talarico's campaign beyond the fact that he's a Democrat running in a deep red state is that his past is full of crazy woke comments about God being non-binary, there being six genders, his hating Christianity, him loving trans-kids, him voting against bills in the state House that banned Chinese ownership of land in the state, and his avowed hatred of white skin.
He was a woke retard in the state house. He didn't get pushed to the left when he decided to run for US senate. He had to pull himself towards the center. If that causes him a mental breakdown, he's a bad person and we should mock his infirmities. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, taking speed with Bob Fosse at October 09, 2026 10:46 AM (1kJuV) 278

This is all a long way of saying that Republicans don’t always agree. Infighting has always existed, and it is exaggerated by the leftist media, which sees an opportunity to make things worse for us. But I say to hell with them. At least Republicans are still arguing about what they believe. The Democrat Party, meanwhile, seems willing to broaden its coalition to include just about anybody with a grievance and a protest sign: Maoists, radical Islamists, militant feminists, blue-haired lunatics who take over city blocks, anti-civilization Antifa bomb-throwers, and, worst of all, Ivy League graduates.As CBD and I tried to underscore, with the Democrat/Left in power and controlling all or even part of government would mean none of us would be safe. Frankly that we somehow survived eight years of Obama considering his chief adviser Bill Ayers at one point agreed with one of his acolytes that once he and the Weathermen had overthrown the American government and seized absolute power would have to liquidate at least 25 million of us deadeners who would refuse to be reeducated and submit to their plans for paradise on earth. Larry Grathwohl is the military veteran who volunteered to infiltrate the Weather Underground as an FBI operative in 1969. He is probably best-known for his firsthand account of a Weatherman meeting at which the organization's leadership, including the future Professor Ayers, discussed the logistics of how, after the communist revolution they were trying to spearhead, they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program. Grathwohl has often been interviewed about that meeting and about his days among the Weather Underground (WU). The focus of those interviews used to be on the radicals and their terrorist operations. More recently, interviewers have turned to Grathwohl to help them highlight Barack Obama's own radicalism, by reminding people of the true nature of the "guy in Obama's neighborhood." Yeah, Tillis, Thune, Collins, Murkowski and all the rest are venal, amoral pigs. But they're not going to engage in the aforementioned. Yeah, we'll be poorer and frustrated when they're in office but we won't be rotting in a mass grave should the Ocasios, Talaricos, El-Sayeds and all the rest win the next election or two which would then be the last ones ever held. And on a very closely related note, this happened yesterday... Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he tried to negotiate with President Trump to release the “criminal illegal alien” and alleged gang member who was shot by ICE Thursday in the Bronx as he called for the abolishment of the federal agency. “Around 4 p.m. this afternoon, a New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” a furious Mamdani told reporters at the late-night press conference near the scene of a rowdy anti-ICE protest in the borough. “For the past two hours, I’ve been on the phone with President Trump and [DHS] Secretary Mullin negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful,” Hizzoner said. The migrant, identified by the NYPD as Oscar Belgal, 28, was shot in the neck and hospitalized before he was taken from NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital by unmarked ICE vehicles, according to the mayor. Mamdani — who spoke over protesters’ chants labeling him “complicit” — called Immigration and Customs Enforcement “rotten to its core” and is an “agency that must be abolished” in the fiery speech. “What does Trump have to say about all of this?” he demanded. “Now I made clear to the president, to the secretary, our request [is] that ICE agents leave the scene entirely — as well as the demand that ICE stop its enforcement actions in New York City.” The Department of Homeland Security said ICE had been attempting to arrest Belgal, of the Dominican Republic, who they claimed has ties to the Trinitarios gang when the shooting occurred. . . However, moments before the press conference kicked off around 11:20 p.m., “ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away,” Hizzoner said. “Let me say this plainly, what happened today was an outrage,” Mamdani fumed. “Today’s shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save,” the mayor said.in other words, we have Hitler complaining that the Allied armies have killed too many Waffen S.S. before they had the chance to exterminate all the untermenschen and conquer the world! As if to underscore both these stories, we have this madness: When pro-terrorist activist Mahmoud Khalil appeared on CNN Monday, Kaitlan Collins asked if he would condemn Hamas. He, of course, would not, calling the question “silly” and “disingenuous.” It isn’t “black and white,” he whined. Even if you oppose Israel’s reaction to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the answer is still black and white for any person with a conscience.There's intentionally swallowing rat poison and then there's cancer that comes from within! Aside from those we insanely import, we have our own homegrown fellow citizens IN NAME ONLY, who seek our destruction. Where have you gone Tailgunner Joe McCarthy, our nation turns its blackened, bruised and bleeding eyes to you!!!!!! Wow, like so many positive waves, now I bid you all to have a great weekend!

62 I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about a church running a singles dating event and it was not well attended by the men. A few people were saying that it was creepy to use a church for this. My thought: Shouldn't a church have events like this to encourage young people to marry and have families? The response to my opinion was a bit negative but I see nothing wrong with it. Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 06:12 AM (NR6c1) Catholics don't generally hold such events in the church proper, which is formally consecrated. Baptists use theirs as a general meeting space, designed to be repurposed throughout the week, maybe even with moveable partitions. It's a fundamentally incompatible sense of the sacred. Of course Catholics have diocesan groups for young adult singles, some parishes may as well. I visited another parish's group for co-ed volleyball in their parish school's gym. I met up with the diocesan group at a brewpub for an artwalk in the Big City arts district. Things like that, perfectly normal. I can see different points of view, but one benefit of keeping the chapel sacred is to discourage the players' game of Sunday Morning Nightclub.

Hey, SciVo. I was going to answer you and Fen but the thread had closed by the time I got back. My view was simply that a church should encourage the single men and women to marry and have kids. Apparently, this did not sit well with some folks. I ain't going back to that thread because I have a feeling that nothing I say would make a difference. Fen, thanks for your perspective as well. I do think that churches should be actively setting things like this up since you would have people of like minds meeting. And now I remember a minister who told his congregation that the unmarried people who were living together had six months to get married or breakup. He even provided counseling and the church for the service. Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 07:53 AM (NR6c1) Posted by: JackStraw at October 09, 2026 07:53 AM (viF8m) 34

Leaving this sort of thing up to the states is a bad idea when we're selecting government leadership. IMO YMMV Posted by: Martini Farmer at October 09, 2026 07:58 AM (RORbl) 44

She recalled to investigators that one of the men said “democratic b*tch” at some point during the incident, the report states.
On Thursday, she told CNN she could not be certain of what she had heard then. “However, I was repairing signs,” she added. “My picture is on my signs all over the district.” Greene-Placentia said she “did get the gut feeling that I was recognized.” She also told the sheriff’s office her assailants may have been white males. But where was her Subway sandwich during all of this? I am highly disappointed that these guys forgot to bring along some shoelace sized rope with a noose on the end to hang around her neck.

Dem Candidate Claims She Was Raped by 2 MAGA Men Whom She Can’t Describe
Rapes in America are usually done by illegals brought in during Democrat administrations. Sometimes, it's a citizen. Usually in lower income areas or gang related. It's NEVER a MAGA man. NEVER. They want you dead, imprisoned or enslaved. Democrats are NOT for America. They're for communism. Remember, Owebama was jealous of Xi Jinping because he could squash his press if they were negative. They want total control. NOT a free society. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at October 09, 2026 08:14 AM (ccf/V) 77

Very glad to see some of those 'staffing companies' get their H1B access revoked along with MS and Adobe. Now for the thousands of others.

I would think Hurricane Helen and what it did to the mountains of NC would immediately bring up some light bulbs in the head of the FCC or whichever government agency in charge of 'rural broadband'.
Elon showed the importance of satellite internet and how quickly it could be deployed and then how reliable it can be for people who can't get online any other way.

Rural Electrification was an interesting historical program of the 1930s. Some places didn’t really get “wired” till the 1950s. Of course it wasn’t cost effective for utilities, and farmers and ranchers couldn’t afford to pay for the “last mile” of poles and wiring.
Most people in the sticks ran on batteries. Banks of them. Wire your house for 32 volt DC Lights and appliances. Windmills and generators for re-charging. WinChargers are sometimes found in antique shops. Neat items, and kind of rare. One reason, the government required these be destroyed, or rendered inoperable, in exchange for getting mains electrical service. Shooting them was considered acceptable. 32 volt DC “farm radios” are sometimes found. They used the same electrical plug as more modern appliances, but woe to the knick-knack collector who plugs one in to 120 volts AC to “see if it works”. Oops!

I watched a short 5 minute snip of the El-Sayed Rogers debate last night. My ( probably worthless) impression: it was just two people shouting insults back and forth. If my 5 minutes were representative, it unfortunately looked like El-Sayed was the more composed shouter. I hope that didn’t represent the whole thing…. El-Sayed really is despicable… Rogers looked old, alas

Dem Candidate Claims She Was Raped by 2 MAGA Men Whom She Can’t Describe
As she was doing something with campaign signs. At 2am. She doesn't know where the attack happened and can't describe the men other than to say that they were white Republicans. They were wearing MAGA hats. They told her, "This is MAGA country," as they took her. Over and over. Then they gave her a Subway sandwich. Which is why she didn't report it for two weeks, as is, apparently, common among women these days. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at October 09, 2026 08:33 AM (ExV1e) 139

Interesting. Fox is reporting that the riots in France have been taken over by communist/Islamic groups funded by Neville Singham's network.
>>@foxnewspolitics >The Singham network's reach goes far beyond France. BreakThrough News publishes a dramatic video from the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis showing a far-left mayor "protecting" students from police — it racks up 346,000 likes in one day. From Brazil, teleSUR shared clash footage with a dramatic soundtrack. Self-described Marxist Twitch influencer Hasan Piker, who traveled to Cuba earlier this year and met Singham's wife Jodie Evans of CodePink, likes the content.

From what I saw and reading about the debate from various sources today, Rogers clobbered Abdul.
Rogers might not be hardcore MAGA or a great campaigner but Abdul is a pro-jihadist fraud whose father works for the Muslim Brotherhood, his mother worked for al Qaeda, owns a home in the UAE and at least one more in Pakistan or some other muslim shit hole. He's an absolute fraud and is being exposed over and over as one. Barely squeaked by his primary by 1 point after we were told he was going to win by double digits. He hasn't gotten more popular.

Then and now, the entire plan is to wait out the unwelcome interlude with the orange interloper and then return to our regularly scheduled screening of "(D)racula vs. (R)enfield 48: The Encuckening." Only this time, there is no chance of Trump turning back up like a bad penny, so that plan will actually work. And when it does, don't say you weren't warned. The GOP warned you over and over again.

NY is completely overrun by illegal immigrants. The state is paying millions to support them and stealing millions more from the federal treasury to illegally let them collect Medicaid, SNAP and every other handout. They are stealing from the people these benefits were meant to help- and they see it. Anybody who can leave is leaving and that includes businesses. You can see a general malaise setting into the suburbs. Formerly vibrant towns full of normal families working to make a better life have been a destroyed by an influx of third world illegals and anyone else looking to raid taxpayer money. Manicured lawns have been replaced by people parking 7 cars on their lawn for all the people now living in a “single family” home. There is no upkeep. Strip malls have emptied or are replaced with dumpy fly traps catering to illegals. That’s who and what the Mamdani and Hochul’s are fighting for. I don’t see how that helps them. It just remind people how far the state has fallen.

Regarding the silly and trivial… I’m so glad I’m not a Cowboys fan. I did not stay up to watch last nights game. I assumed they’d win easily. I see the score… their defense got boat raced as usual. They stink. I’m tired of hearing how Dak is so good. No he isn’t… 16 points against a previously winless team??

BTW NY’s budget deficit has increased every year. Their revenue hinges on large tax bills to a few high income people. They continue to count on Wall Street bonuses as one of their single largest income sources. Those sources have slowly moved out of state but as those companies diversify their locations, it’s only a matter of time before that’s gone.
Democrats have been in complete control of the state for a long time. It’s not Trump. It’s not Republicans. It’s Democrats who have year after year run the state to the ground. Posted by: Vengeance at October 09, 2026 08:54 AM (3s43i) 216

One estimate found that, since 2015, the nation’s two largest teachers unions — the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers — spent $669 million on federal campaigns and another $336 million on state and local campaigns.
Posted by: r hennigantx at October 09, 2026 09:08 AM (/+uur) ============== Roughly $100 million per YEAR, on average (obviously, they ramp up every two years and big time every four) of taxpayer money to the Democrat party.

My working theory is that Leftie-operative Sally Yates got brought into the Cornell 7 case to steer the outcome to a quick payoff to She Who Can't Be Named.
They can't let this go to trial. Can you imagine the cross-examination of the Victim? If Cornell pays her a few million then the Guilt of the Seven becomes established fact. Lawyer Giuffra makes bank for writing a flawed complaint, And the Sisterhood prevails. Cornell itself will be a huge loser. Posted by: Ignoramus at October 09, 2026 09:21 AM (dtajH) 321

Even with this crackdown I don’t see much change happening. The entire leadership is Indian. Not all are H1Bs many are green card or even citizens.

Watched a bit of News Nation this am and found it's more positive and objective than any other popular cable or msm news network. There were guests that emphasized the positive & reality: Inflation has dropped from 9% down to 3+% in this country, and should drop further. There has been no storming of the U.S. borders by unvetted illegals for over a year and a half. And Iran is NOT a joke; it must be stopped. What is on the other "new" channels? TDS wrapped into almost every other headline, and mostly as the breaking news. We have a governor who's entire platform has been & continues to be suing the Trump administration with our taxpayer dollars and installing "politicians" - Socialists - who will fight the 3 "Cs" - chaos, cruelty, and corruption - of the administration. And I think that sounds like the damn pattern for all of the blue (& 'PA purple') lead clowns. After all, how are Hochul, Mikie, Abigail & the rest of the children any different? From above, "... they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program." It's not a joke, nor distant.

Many were masked in black or covered in Palestinian/Islamic garb. Total madness, right out of some street riot in an Islamic shithole. This is all for exposing Medicare fraud in Minnesota and elsewhere? Or from being a Christian kid with no exploitable vices? Seeing this, can't help wonder how we ever come out of this spiral.

From Brave AI: The military execution of Nidal Hasan is scheduled to take place at Fort Hood in Texas. Date & Time: December 3, 2026, at 1 p.m. Central Time Method: Firing squad Significance: This will be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by firing squad since World War II Public Access: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the event will be public and livestreamed Fort Hood is a U.S. Army post in Killeen, Texas, in Central Texas. It sits roughly halfway between Austin (~60 mi south) and Waco (~50 mi north), spanning about 335 square miles across Bell and Coryell counties. Note: The base was briefly renamed Fort Cavazos in 2023 but was renamed back to Fort Hood in 2025. Posted by: SciVo at October 09, 2026 05:38 AM (ke3zm) 41

Because, as the Hacker News thread points out, subscriptions, dummy. DeepSeek is a fraction of the price of Anthropic's API usage-based rates. Anthropic's subscriptions, though, can be a fraction of the price of DeepSeek. And of itself./i] I don't care how cheap it is, if my company, or self, needed to pay for AI to use for projects, there's no way I'd use Chinese AI to do it with. I'm not even sure if I'd use a free Chinese model that I could run locally. It's not so much as it being more dangerous than any other country's AI, but it's more like I have no idea how much data the AI is sending to the CCP's servers in the open or clandestinely.

96% of developers do not fully trust AI-generated code The rest are using it for very tiny projects they can manually vet. I don't *think* my personal project that I'm depending on AI for coding assistance, is going to be problematic... but it's quite possible there's plenty of best practice stuff being skipped (input validation, anti-patterns, etc) because, well, it's a personal project that runs on the desktop and the free-anon clankers are... deliberately weakened, as far as I can tell.

Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 *** Of course a church should. In the late '80s-early '90s I attended several singles events at a church near where I worked, and met and dated two or three nice ladies. Before dating apps, if you recall, churches used to do this regularly or hold singles dances, and local arts-and-entertainment papers used to hold events like these too. In Denver I went to one in late '97. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 09, 2026 06:26 AM (wzUl9) 81

Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 06:12 AM (NR6c1) Churches have long held social events for young people. They used to hold dances, picnics, cookouts, for that very purpose.

IIRC Star Raiders II, checks Internet, yes was originally supposed to be released as the game version for The Last Starfighter. Posted by: Anna Puma at October 09, 2026 06:33 AM (2GVsD) With its cartridge port, obviously the new 800XL can use a range of cartridges that also worked with the original. Specifically, the product page mentions that “most Atari 400, 800, XL, and XE cartridges” are supported by the new system. A bullet point at the bottom of the article also mentions: Also features support for software created for 8-bit computers and the Atari 5200 console. So, I guess it's "Your old game cartridge might work, but we're not making any promises." Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 09, 2026 06:46 AM (6ydKt) 98

It's almost time to feed the furry thugs. Little Dagny was on the bed when I woke up, but as usual, the moment I turned on the light, she left, as if unwilling to be caught being sociable.
On the other hand, last night she got up onto my arm of the sofa. I put the cushion on my lap. She actually walked out onto it. I urged her to lie down, and she stayed, rolling over to be petted, for a long time. Big Stirling has gotten used to his diet, I guess, and Dagny seems happier; she'd getting more to eat.

I tend to miss the ONT almost every evening. Don't know why. The movie we watch is usually done by 9:15 or 9:30 pm, and I don't go to bed until 10:00 or so.
Last night the noir film on Movies! was 1947's The Unsuspected, directed by Michael "Casablanca" Curtiz. It stars Claude Rains as a radio commentator (inspired, I've read, by Alexander Woollcott) who focuses on real-life murder cases. Turns out he's got some murders he plans to execute in his own life. A fascinating, complex, and atmospheric movie, based on a Charlotte Armstrong novel. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 09, 2026 07:20 AM (wzUl9) 122

Even if I had no cats at all, even if he were not feral-skittish, I would find him hard to live with. With the exception of smart black cat Marie-Antoinette, all of my cats have been very quiet. And Marie was just trying to tell us how best to serve her. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 09, 2026 07:23 AM (wzUl9) 124
I have performed marriage services for people who have meet on line and they been married for a while . I've also known people affected by scams.. The Anglican minister was telling me last night that not only is there sexual trafficking promulgated on line, but there are people ( lots from different parts of Asia) where they are forced to scam calls through the 'net. That probably explains calls from out of the country which say things like "_____( my first name) . Is this still your number?" My thought : "If you know my name why don't you tell me yours.?" I I immediately hit the delete and report scam Button.

I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about a church running a singles dating event and it was not well attended by the men. A few people were saying that it was creepy to use a church for this.
My thought: Shouldn't a church have events like this to encourage young people to marry and have families? The response to my opinion was a bit negative but I see nothing wrong with it. Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 06:12 AM (NR6c1) Catholics don't generally hold such events in the church proper, which is formally consecrated. Baptists use theirs as a general meeting space, designed to be repurposed throughout the week, maybe even with built-in moveable partitions. It's a fundamentally incompatible sense of the sacred. Of course Catholics have diocesan groups for young adult singles, some parishes may as well. I visited another parish's group for co-ed volleyball in their parish school's gym. I met up with the diocesan group at a brewpub for an artwalk in the Big City arts district. Things like that, perfectly normal. I can see different points of view, but one benefit of keeping the chapel sacred is to discourage the players' game of Sunday Morning Nightclub.

Posted by: GWB at October 09, 2026 07:54 AM (kU0PQ) Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 8, 2026![]() Adirondack Mountains, New York - From Aesthetic vibes Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Thursday ONT! Mixed bag of content for those who care. Open thread, as always. On time, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight? To embrace rapidly increasing technological advances or not. Kodiak says yes. Kodiak ready to 'pull the driver' and launch unsupervised driverless trucks by end of year Kodiak's unsupervised driverless long-haul delivery trucks will soon hit Texas roads as its partnership with Swedish furniture giant IKEA enters a new phase. Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joined "Varney & Co." Tuesday to shed light on the rollout and the technology behind the autonomous trucks. "We're starting with one. We're gonna get that first one out by the end of the year, and then we're gonna start to scale throughout 2027 and beyond," Burnette said. Burnette said IKEA will serve as the launch partner later in the year. "We're doing just over 200-mile trips to start, but nobody in the driver's seat, nobody in [the] cab," Burnette said. Burnette explained that Kodiak provides the AI-powered software that serves as "the brain" behind how the autonomous trucks drive. "We've proven the technology is safe and reliable. We've done a lot of work over the last decade or so to make sure we've covered every contingency, and now we're ready to go," he said.Video segment at the link. *** Doordash says yes. DoorDash drone delivery doesn’t spell end for drivers, executive says DoorDash is revolutionizing the way it delivers food to its Northern California customers thanks to drones, officials say. The company insists that all will remain the same, except deliveries made by drones will ensure faster arrivals and more options for consumers. Harrison Shih, head of DoorDash Air, joined “The Hill on NewsNation” to discuss the new delivery method, adding it may “one day” be an offering in big cities such as New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. “DoorDash really is the strongest in your standard suburbs, and I think that’s what makes this service so good for DoorDash, as we think about drone delivery, is DoorDash has really been built around… connecting those communities with their neighbors and getting food across all of those areas,” Shih said. DoorDash says its new drone can get food to you in under five minutes — but Texas residents are already calling Amazon drone noise a 'big problem' The future of doorstep delivery is drones apparently (well, drones and robots): DoorDash has unveiled a new drone ready to get food to you in under five minutes on average, even as Amazon faces a growing number of complaints over its own drone delivery service. DoorDash has been planning drone deliveries for a while, calling the scheme DoorDash Air, and we've now been given a look at the six-propeller aircraft that'll be doing the delivering. A trial is planned for Northern California, in partnership with restaurant brands including Chipotle and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. A lot of work has gone into the pick-up and drop-off infrastructure and ordering system, DoorDash says, as well as the drone itself. The company estimates that around 80% of customer orders are light enough to transport by drone, and initial tests suggest orders can be delivered in less than five minutes on average. *** The drones won't land when they deliver — they'll lower their cargo in front of your door or in your backyard and then zoom away again. According to DoorDash, failsafes will be built in so the drones can safely land in emergencies, and their cruising noise will be comparable to a passing car "at delivery height". That noise element might be crucial to the scheme's success. As TechSpot reports, residents in Richardson, Texas are none too pleased about the constant buzzing being created by Amazon drones, which launched Prime Air in the area last December. The sound has been compared to that of a flying lawnmower.*** Chick-fil-A says not so fast. Chick-fil-A rules out AI drive-thru ordering as fast-food rivals embrace technology Chick-fil-A is bucking a growing fast-food industry trend, with CEO Andrew Cathy saying the chicken chain does not plan to use artificial intelligence to take customers' drive-thru orders. While Chick-fil-A is exploring potential uses for AI behind the scenes, Cathy told CNBC that the company wants to preserve human interaction in its drive-thru lanes even as competitors increasingly experiment with automated ordering technology. "From our experience, we really want that hospitality to be human to human," Cathy told the outlet. "We’re not going to substitute that interaction with technology, because we feel like that hospitality is so important to create that warm environment for consumers." *** The US Army unsurprisingly says yes. US Army tests counter-drone tech at Mexican border as cartel drone use rises The US Army is testing counter-drone technology in the US-Mexico border area, seeking to sharpen its defenses against the growing threat of drone use by cartels and emulate the rapid battlefield innovation happening in Ukraine's war with Russia. At Falcon Peak, a US Northern Command exercise held in September in Arizona, soldiers watched as defense firms demonstrated radars, interceptor drones, autonomous gun systems and other technologies designed to detect, track and destroy small unmanned aircraft. ----- Will we reach a tipping point with the proliferation of surveillance overreach?

So, after playing around 4 hours of the follow-up to Disco Elysium, Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, I've thrown in the towel.
The protagonist is a lesbian, communist, that looks like Jodi Whitaker, and has a 5 pack a day voice, she's uninteresting and instantly forgettable, the story is insipid, the atmospherics, music and sound effects are boring and uninspired. It's a shame because Disco Elysium is one of the best rpg's of all-time, along the same lines as The Secret of Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revenge, which essentially is the inspiration for Pirates of The Caribbean.

Under the wire, Tillis endorsed Whatley today. Lots of moving parts with several senate debates--Rogers-Sayed in MI, Collins and whatshisname Troy in ME, and Collins-Tossof in GA. GOP has had a solid night in debates, their opponents, not so much.
And right now, it appears that this is going to be an older and whiter electorate--Gen X and Boomers predominating which are swinging toward GOP. Youth turnout is not going to be that much perhaps below 10 percent apparently with Millennials above yutes but well below X and Boomers so far. Getting enough early voting and absentee requests now to start painting the actual electorate. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 10:14 PM (E4rtv) 36

The head of the Hartford Symphony came out on stage for the opening concert of the season to give everyone a quick talk. He suggested that people consider buying full season tickets. It’s not just about saving money on purchases. It’s about having a routine, knowing that there is a concert calling next week, building in a ritual that is binding in some way.
More than that, he said, we live in times that are being gravely threatened by dehumanization. We interact more with digital systems than with people. But at the symphony, he said, there are real people, musicians who have mastered their instruments through thousands of hours of practice, and they are playing physical things. There are bows drawn on gut and steel strings, real cymbals clanging together, mallets hitting drums, lungs powering brass, and a harpist using hands and figures to make the sounds of heaven appear before us. A season ticket shows your loyalty to the humane arts, to the beautiful, to the truth, to the analog world of genuine human achievement Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 08, 2026 10:18 PM (nqf1u) 47

Evening, Horde.
I read the content - drones as loud as a passing car *at what speed*? And from inside or outside of your own car? Cuz... interstate speeds while you're standing on the shoulder? Not so quiet. No sign of the draconids here, too much light pollution in that quadrant right now. Job search continues, a part time temp job might go active soon, and that would bring some income and keep some skills sharp/get the rust cleaned off. Had one previous interview from about a month ago finally update with "sorry but you're not moving forward"... still have the others to hope for, including the best fit I've felt since I started this whole sorry saga (last Thursday's interview). I pray frequently, and try to keep an open mind about how "where God wants me" might not line up with "what sounds good to me". Trying to pray more, and pray better. M's grandma is slowly recovering but it's a long road ahead and the healing and PT have just begun. Time for Bible study and evening exercise to help me fall asleep by tiring my body.

Under the wire, Tillis endorsed Whatley today. Lots of moving parts with several senate debates--Rogers-Sayed in MI, Collins and whatshisname Troy in ME, and Collins-Tossof in GA. GOP has had a solid night in debates, their opponents, not so much.

I won't believe it until CNN denies it. Posted by: Oddbob Whatever it is, it has to be incapacitating, if it was something like cancer or even the flu, the candidate would be at least sending out messages, pix from a hospital bed, something other than radio silence. If old, something like stroke might be possible but age tends to rule that out but if Talafreako did go loopy, then his handlers don't want him seen nor heard until they patch him up like Biden. Whatever it is, it is not severe enough to try to parachute another candidate in, but severe enough that the Dems don't want him seen that way. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 10:22 PM (E4rtv) 63

Admittedly, I don't pretend to understand all the safeguards instituted into driverless vehicles (and now tractor trailers). But, I'd like to know one thing:
Does AI possess enough logic/ creativity/ precognition/ imagination to view a vehicle up ahead that is creating a "HEY, LOOK AT THIS IDIOT" scenario, and react like we humans do. The vehicle ahead may be maintaining itself within the boundaries of the lane, although weaving and drifting enough for a human driver to recognize an issue (drinking, falling asleep, medical issues) resulting in us keeping our distance and keeping an eye on them in the event that a quick reaction is required. I don't see AI being able to apply that human response if for the time being the vehicle remains within its lane. Posted by: Orson at October 08, 2026 10:31 PM (dIske) 101

Is Talarico's nervous breakdown going to give him the sympathy vote? I guess who'd notice at this point with people like McConnell in office.
Just what people need is a nervous ghey in office. I enjoyed and related to the redneck video. My beloved father, Marine, chemistry degree, golfing, refined Southern gentleman was most of that. He even had a "back 40" or at least 10 acres of cars on the farm. Our sons were thrilled to find these relics one winter day, with a tree growing through one of them. Sunk into the ground. Felt like explorers. After his death someone bought the cars to restore and mother got money for them as they were hauled off. He certainly did not throw stuff away and had jars of screws, etc, in his storage room. He also messed with electricity at times for reasons unknown. An electrician told my mother that the motion detectors were wired with mystery. There were electric fences for the cows here and and sometimes not seen (one painter was peeing way in the back woods and got a shock). I had free entertainment for most of my life.

I think you are all overthinking Talarico's disappearance for a while. I'd put it up to internal polling showing his numbers decreasing directly proportionally with his public appearances. They realized that the less he is seen, and the less people know about him, the better chance he has. So he dropped off the campaign trail. I'll even bet he has a different look when he returns the last few weeks. Different haircut. Different clothes style. Different demeanor, for which he will laughingly overcompensate for his effeminate nature.

Besides, if Walmart deprives you of your liberty or kills you, it is either kidnapping or murder. If a police officer does it, it’s business as usual and a sign of GREAT police work.

Doesn't work in a high profile race like this. Talarico is not Joe Biden nor is Covid around where he can get away with it with surrogates.
Running for state rep in deep blue Austin is very different than running a marquee statewide race in Texas. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 10:50 PM (E4rtv) How this is playing out right now puts a spotlight on why Paxton was always a far better candidate than Cornyn. (Despite all the consultant class lies to the contrary). Paxton has jumped on the disappearance and is mocking him in his speeches lately, with no response from the Dems. When a candidate becomes the butt of many jokes, his campaign is over, especially if he doesn’t respond. Cornyn would have sat back and said nothing except “that’s not who we are.” Posted by: Tom Servo at October 08, 2026 11:02 PM (B0Z3q) 226

Last summer I got a bit of norovirus from the baby grandgirl. She harfed on me and that started the all female band (son, grandson and husband were oddly immune). I got what I called the cholera version of the diarrhea instant weight loss for days. I knew better than to drink colored gatorade and stuck to a refreshing clear and fruity pedialyte. I need to stock some for end times. We had to fly to NOLA and see my mother in MS a week later. I look like a corpse in the family photos. 'Twas a lovely time as during the fiesta of pedialyte my husband discovered a leak from the kitchen to the basement family room. Requiring plumbing, sheet rock guys, a drying fan, and painters as I lay dying upstairs. I didn't care. The contractor told my husband that we were the calmest people he'd ever worked with after a wall flood (well, he didn't see me, but I was calm as near death).

Administration should go completely nuclear in their public statements. Emphasizing that ALL illegal aliens are subject to removal.

Y's Dice, no not really. Fed LE (and DOJ) obviously provide tremendous support to NYC on a range of issues. They don't police the streets. If every non-violent/non-natsec situation in NYC suddenly sees it's getting lowest priority from the feds, it will snowball. Finance, etc - not something the dumb freak children at Gracie Mansion can ignore for long.

Apropos of nothing - there was some forum discussion a few weeks back about sensitive or top secret information being published inadvertently (or purposely?) during World War II.
I found another one, I think, that almost certainly must have drawn some attention. Or not… Old time radio program, Superman episode “Dr Deutsch and the Radium Mine” first aired in June 1941 The episode was about Radium, and the evil Dr. Deutsch and his underground lair for smuggling Radium in hollowed out books, which isn’t quite separating isotopes of Uranium, but it’s pretty close, and they mentioned “atomic” power or bombs, and how a small handful of the stuff could wipe out the entire United States. This is pretty remarkable given the time frame, in that year physicists, mostly refugees from Europe, were still pretty much trying to get the US government to get motivated even about the possibility of fast fission bombs. This was about the time Enrico Fermi tried to alert the US Navy. He managed to get an interview at the War department with some colonel or someone. He overheard an aide alert his boss in his office while he (Fermi) was waiting - “There’s a Wop outside”. Posted by: Common Tater at October 09, 2026 12:04 AM (TzEbc) 406

Something is going on. For the last four days and nights there has been a lot of air traffic here in SW Wyoming. We go months and never hear any planes.
It's curious. Posted by: four seasons at October 08, 2026 11:21 PM (/QHx4) If you were to go to Flightradar24.com and click on the planes going over, you can then find the registration number and then find out who owns the planes. What gets odd is if all the planes are of a similar make but are owned by different companies and universities. Then you gotta wonder if something is going on.

So, every now and then, I do something right.
I had been trying to think what to get Mom for her 80th birthday. Then I remembered I had some audio cassettes my grandparents made when mom and dad first got married. The first one is from February. 1970. I got them digitized and got the audio link tonight. It is so wonderful. The first tape is somewhat garbled as they were trying to work out how the recorder worked. So it is a bit out of order as I think they listened to what they first recorded and then recorded over the bad spots. I have just been listening for the past couple of hours. Going to see Mom and Dad for her birthday tomorrow. I hope she likes it. Posted by: Aetius451AD at October 09, 2026 12:21 AM (Y/06r) 420

One of the classic anecdotes about the erosion of standards in the US was a story about a small parcel of land in CT, in some small city. It was federal, was surplused and given to the municipality. So the town proceeded to do the necessary to re-purpose the property.
The environmental assessment turned up ..... radioactivity. Very anomalous levels thereof. Hmmm. Further investigation revealed that the site had been the location of a secret facility using radium (I think to paint instrument dials) during WWII. Key point: quite a few of the workers who had worked at the facility in WWII were still alive, and local. Of course none said a word when the whole property transfer thing was going on. When asked why they never said anything, a woman (as I recall) who'd worked there said something like "it was a secret operation, and we were never told it was no longer secret". Similar things happened in the UK in the 90s. Standards are real. Their erosion or weakening is one of the most damaging trends in civilization.

Going from memory, but at Nuremburg they employed an Army SFC hangman who had previously performed hundreds of hangings. (Apparently our boys weren’t always necessarily on their best behavior in Europe) With 15 million in uniform and lots of pressure rapes and murder were inevitable I guess.
Firing squad was historically (or traditionally) considered the honorable way for a soldier to go to his great reward. Major Hasan naturally doesn’t deserve any of that. Hanging would be appropriate in this case. The certainty of punishment is important, but always the celerity. 17 years is Fucking Clown World. A terrible injustice and insult to the victims and family. Sends a terrible message to rank and file on how important their lives are. Some assclown general officer at the time started whining publicly about how important “diversity” was. So very sick of all these stupid MFers.

FWIW, I am beginning to see signs that this midterm may be more like 2002 than 2014,2018 or even 2022. Political winds seem to be blowing in the GOP favor as the races clarify.
The Democrats nationalized the race early by their endless Orangeman Bad and now the race is becoming a referendum on Democrats want to do that they have not talked about rather than the GOP hasn't done. Plus the electorate so far in ev and vote by mail requests is skewing Gen X and Boomers with Boomers breaking right while the polls still show yutes storming the polls at historically abnormal rates for midterms. Cautiously optimistic as if the GOP does well in the marquee races as they appear to be doing, then the down ballot races including House races make it possible for the GOP to hold the house. I think with Rogers slamming Sayed that MI race tonight is now his to lose and that makes it almost impossible for the Dems to win the Senate. And most of the states with real tight races in the Senate are Democrat like in MN, NH, and it looks like Collins did her job in her debate and an older electorate is probably going to keep her in office. Even NC and GA are reachable it seems now. Posted by: bob dylan at October 09, 2026 01:16 AM (E4rtv) 475

Er, off Bob Dylan sock.
I just spent the evening checking in on debates, voting patterns, candidate spending, and even a few polls. GOP has the momentum right now and the Democrat candidates are not really performing in debates in state after state as if they are bad candidates this cycle. I don't really see Democrats surging anywhere right now except possibly VA but rather on the defensive and unable to communicate clear messages that will unify the DSA types with the less ideological types. And their candidates are lacking the money to push a message now even it they wanted too versus the GOP onslaught. So far, GOP is turnout at at least at the 2022 level in some places, higher in others. Younger voters under about 40 are not possibly due to lack of GOTV funding this cycle (usually mail in ballot banking) or a not so inspiring muddled messaging from teh party. GOP seems to be running well in governor's races as well with good candidates and good messaging. At this point, cautiously optimistic on the House, GOP holds the Senate perhaps even gaining a seat or two in a wave, and GOP is likely to gain a governor's mansion or two and hold their open seats.

Dammit cannot get off the Bob Dylan sock,
But, Trump's messaging and rallies are also having an effect and I think the H1B/OPT announcements along with announcements of new investments in these rallies is going to have a positive effect and yet the Democrats cannot really respond in a coherent opposition message, sort of like Talarico, their candidates seem in a daze right now which is odd. Katie Hobbs for example has been hiding longer than Talarico in the bunker. It is as if they thought by concentrating on criticizing Trump would be their magic wand this election and that Trump's unfavorabilities would surely bring the GOP down. I think RINOs were hoping that as well. But a small sign today indicates the GOP if not the media may be giving up the demoralization campaign, Thom Tillis endorsed Michael Whatley for the Senate today. Pollsters are getting more serious in likely voter screening and suddenly totally ridiculous polling is becoming more realistic. Prediction markets are going the be the last to start moving except in specific races. Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 01:32 AM (E4rtv) 486

Posted by: Aetius451AD ---------- Heh. For some reason, my browser is not being cooperative today. I always prefer to make any prognostications until I see the shape of the electorate and this electorate is going to skew older this time and whiter. I don't see blacks particularly enthused in voting for Dems and part of that may be resentment over the new found concerns for illegals that the Dems have been focusing upon. I don't see youth really fired up except perhaps other than responding to texts to answer polling because their vote share is coming in really low. Bringing out old celebutards like Willy or Bruce is simply tone deaf by now. And I think all the radical pro Gaza and other policies like troonism or illegals is simply not playing well in this environment other than the roughly 22-25 percent DSA type liberals in the electorate. Sayed is patient zero but the inability to address Iran, Muslims, and the 10/7 attacks is all due to DSA types being out of step with the mainstream on these issues. Ditto now for illegals--the overton window has shifted right and riots like in Paris are confirming this. Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 01:39 AM (E4rtv) 493

When all you have is a REEEEEEE!, every problem looks like Donald Trump.
Posted by: mikeski I think the problem is deeper than that. What the DSA Democrats want to do is not sellable to the majority of the electorate. Pro Gaza when all our past associations with those assholes is a long stream of murderous terrorism. Pro Iran when again, a long train that other voters recognize as a nasty murderous regime. Pro socialism, sells okay to broke college students, not to those that have stuff that the DSA types want to take. Putting radicals like Mamdani as a F/U to the Man in NYC does not work in Michigan for a Senate race. Putting a wealthy self funded candidate for governor parachuted in from Portland OR does not play well when the state is Iowa. Talarico is a small time candidate with skanty experience suddenly in the big leagues in a very expensive and tough Senate campaign and may have crumbled like a cookie under that pressure. Ossoff played arrogant when he has very little achievement to be arrogant about. These are not seeming as likable people that the Dems put up this cycle. Smug, well off enough to insulate themselves, zealots, and nutty would be my take. Posted by: whig at October 09, 2026 01:48 AM (E4rtv) 502

I usually don't respond but I had to. Posted by: Aetius451AD ===== I think the much older No Kings crowd is responsible for the initial spurt of voting as polls and voting request opened but that has been eroded each day by GOP requests and EV totals. Youth vote from 18-29 is below ten percent in places like OH for example. In some states, indicative of a GOP ground game, the GOP is actually ahead of vbm and early voting compared with 2024! which was a presidential year. Michigan is one of those states and it might cost the Dems the governor's house as well as both the GOP candidates, Rogers and James are known, and the MI Sec of State trying to succeed Whitmer is known as a major league cheater and asshole from litigation stemmig back to 2020. James, like Rogers, dominated the debate with the Dem candidate. Sayed, I think is finished after tonight. Rogers brought the heat and smoked him which should extend Roger's narrow lead.

CNN: Talarico’s 12-day absence from trail becomes fodder for GOP in Texas Senate race He has the flu and is a type 1 diabetic, those two things do not go well together so I understand. I’m t1 diabetic and last time I got the flu I ended up in the ICU. His team says he’ll be back this weekend though. meanwhile Tom Kean in NJ disappears for months with radio silence, comes back and cites vague medical issues, then votes to cut medical benefits. Couldn’t even get the guy to come visit a factory in town before the tariffs shut it down, lmao. Tom Kean Jr. is a worthless piece of shit. He should’ve been aborted. Paxton won’t even debate him and can’t answer any questions about his record without running away but yeah Talarico being sick with the flu is way worse Did not take CNN long to become right wing propaganda. Paxton has ran possibly the laziest campaign I've ever seen, but we're just going to make shit up about Talarico I guess. "Fodder for GOP"? They don't even need things that are real for fodder. They've been calling him a vegan all year and it's not true at all. They just make shit up.

The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox A 19-year-old charged with stabbing a man in Pittsburgh so badly his intestines were hanging out was released the SAME DAY without posting a dime. Eight days later, he’s the prime suspect in ANOTHER stabbing. District Judge Dan Butler let Delvin Dobbins walk on a non-monetary bond. Just a promise to show up to court. Pittsburgh Police Chief Jason Lando couldn’t believe he was out. “How can that be? I mean, he just stabbed someone in the stomach a week ago.” And it’s happened before. Two years earlier, Dobbins was let go after a burglary arrest because the juvenile detention center had closed. Two months later, he was charged with SHOOTING a convenience store clerk. Two stabbings and a shooting. The man keeps racking up victims because the judge keeps SETTING HIM LOOSE! - Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Oh, f*ck off, you jihadi:
Footage obtained by the New York Daily News showed police officers carrying the wounded man from a silver SUV and putting him in the back of a black car, which sped off. The unidentified man is now in the hospital, where police officers said he is conscious and receiving medical attention. His wounds are not considered life-threatening, law enforcement sources told the New York Post. A five-year-old was also said to have been in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, but was uninjured. Mamdani called the incident 'unconscionable and incredibly serious' in a post on social media as he announced his plans to get federal agents out of New York City. 'I have called the President; when we speak, I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city,' the mayor said. 'I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities,' he continued. 'Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.' 'Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children,' Mamdani concluded. 'Abolish ICE.'

In the past hangings were actual events, as I remember reading. There were the stocks in the town squares. The jails were near the center of town.

Also, if interested read about the Great Meteor Storm of 1833. That was about the biggest one in recorded history, I think. People thought the world was about to end. That led to the modern astronomical meteor science. It's sort of hard to believe, but up until 1803, astronomers and the physicists of the day thought that the idea of "rocks from space" was pure nonsense, the equivalent of Big Foot and UFOs today. A bunch of peasants making shit up. In 1803, the "rocks from space" hypothesis was conclusively confirmed. I forget the details there. But it wasn't until that Doomsday storm of 1833 that they began to develop the theory of just what these rocks from space really were.

And yet, even after Newton, that view persisted up until 1803. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 08, 2026 09:12 PM (w6EFb) 196

The word "meteorology" which means weather today, came from that Ancient Greek Homo theories. "Meteor" basically means "high in the sky". We had "aqueous meteors", which was water high the sky, rain, snow, hail. Then we had "air meteors". That was wind and tornadoes and storms. The "luminous meteors" which were rainbows and aurora. The the "fire meteors", which are the rocks from space we know. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 08, 2026 09:17 PM (w6EFb) 204

Posted by: DAN ROFLESBUREGER at October 08, 2026 10:17 PM (rbvCR) Quick HitsA supposedly healthy young man, James Talarico, has his campaign putting out the word that he's been missing in action for 11 days due to the flu. The flu? It takes a 30 year old a week and a half to get over the flu? And he can't even make brief appearances during his long convalescence?Ed MorrisseyTrump says he's hearing "bad rumors." So he's confirming my theory that Talrico is suffering from The AIDS Crazies. Ladies and Gentlemen, upon information and belief, James TalaFREAKo, who is running for the United States Senate in Texas, is MISSING IN ACTION! No one has seen him for an extended period of time. Where is he? What is wrong with him? Bad rumors are coming out. He should immediately report to a Debate Stage against Ken Paxton, who is ready, willing, and able, one of the best Attorney Generals in the Country, and will soon be, hopefully, a United States Senator representing the Great People of Texas! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMPTwitchy tells Bari Weiss to get her absurd Democrat operatives under control. CBS News ElizaRenae Balls were dropped in the case of the Muslim extremist FlyDubai co-pilot. Even Israel dropped the ball. Which means that hormone-drenched madwoman Ana Kasparian is about to accuse them of deliberately allowing the poor Muslim to be used as a prop for Mossad propaganda. ... Airline operator flydubai had submitted the manifest for Flight 1073, but Israel's transportation ministry said it did not believe it had the authority or expertise to vet foreign flight crews. The ministry also said it had never asked to access a database created in 2023 to help authorised agencies review passenger and crew information because it did not know the database was operational or that it could use it. There was an even more basic warning that should have stopped al-Hammami from flying to Israel. Pilots from countries such as Oman, which does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, are barred from flying to the country. Yet al-Hammami was allowed onto the Tel Aviv-bound flight.The hordes of Aspiring Doctors and Engineers just keep proving what immense assets they are to America. The K-8 school River City Science Academy (RSCA) in Jacksonville, Florida, has confirmed to Mazelit's Corner that their after-school teacher who recently went on a viral rant against Jews has now been fired. "The staff member in question is no longer associated with RSCA or any of our campuses" said Laura Palarine, the school's media rep, on Thursday morning. The staff member in question? Miss. Jaden Salameh, a Florida TikToker and now disgraced-teacher -- whose words shocked hundreds of thousands of Jewish netizens when she posted a TikTok video of herself titled "My controversial opinions that are 100% correct." In her video -- which has been viewed nearly half a million times on X alone -- Jaden Salameh argues a litany of antisemitic tropes to her audience on her now-deleted TikTok page. "There's one group of people who own literally everything," the self-described Palestinian woman says, adding that Jews "own the banking system, the White House, the legislative, executive, judicial branch." "We send all of our money to this country," she claimed, adding that Israel was "literally curated out of thin air."Mamdani showed up at an alleged vigil to honor the victims of October 7, whom he essentially said were valid targets due to Israel's occupation of Gaza. Even though he is obviously a strong supporter of terrorist murder and rape, Muslims heckled him for not being honest enough in his pro-Hamas agitation.
Brian Stelter is angry that Trump wants to decide which reporters ask questions. Remember Biden's cheat sheet showing which reporter to call on, showing a picture of the reporter so that he knew her face, showing the correct pronunciation of her name, and spelling out the exact question she agreed to ask? So that Biden could appear to be cogent by offering a pre-rehearsed "answer"? Sex Machine has never even mentioned that.

At San Antonio Rally, Trump Warns He’ll ‘Never Forgive’ Texas if Talarico Wins
We could have had the first female president. Instead, we got a fucking bitch. Imagine the timeline if Hillary could have continued Obama’s success. Where we could be now. Instead it’s endless wars, boner pills and prediction sites Imagine if Bernie wasn't hamstrung by his own party and was able to win the primary. Impossible to know for sure, but I believe he would have beaten Trump. I'd have been surprised if they didn't pick Paxton. Cornyn was a guy who kept his head down and got the work done, always careful to toe the party line. Paxton has been icy-hot stunting in the news for years now with his endless culture-war bullshit, full-on criminal behavior and enough scandals to fill several of those full-size HEB shopping carts. MAGA sees the latter as someone who's doing important things, an underdog who cares about what they care about being unfairly attacked and slandered by the liberal media because he's fighting so loudly for the cause.

Duh. Why do you think he allowed it to happen? This is so he has some footage and recordings of how much the "radicals" dislike him, so, see? He must not be that bad.

Telefreako (great nickname) is only 30 years old? I thought he'd been in the Texas congress for several years and was high up in the D subgroup there. Doesn't change the fact that he's a freak and Colbert? did Paxton a favor by boosting the freak before the Texas primaries.

Israel wasn't occupying Gaza before Oct 7. The Gazans were a self governing statelet, with work opportunities in Israel for many, ruled over by Hamas terrorists. Their solution was to declare war on Israel and murder thousands of civilians with the cooperation of corrupt UN organizations and Iran.
Now you could play that game with the West Bank a bit, and now since Israel is still rooting out vermin in Gaza, but not then. Posted by: Oldcat at October 08, 2026 06:36 PM (uhVAy) 33

>>>Pilots' records kept hidden: that complaint came up with the 21 Air crash of the cargo plane that killed several people at Miami's airport recently. Pilots with bad records or washed out of training go unreported.
That Omani pilot that tried to kamikaze that jet also had major terrorism red flags that got lost in the shuffle when he changed jobs.

Andrew Jackson was the same way from his treatment as a yute in the Revolutionary War "Andrew Jackson served in the American Revolutionary War as a teenager, making him the last U.S. President to participate in the conflict and the only one who was a prisoner of war. Enlisting at age 13 as a courier for the Patriot militia, he participated in the Battle of Hanging Rock in August 1780 alongside his brothers Hugh and Robert. His service was marked by tragedy and brutality; after being captured by the British in 1781, he refused to polish a British officer's boots and was slashed with a sword, leaving permanent scars on his head and hand. During his imprisonment, he and his brother contracted smallpox, and upon release, he found that his brother Robert had died, followed shortly by their mother Elizabeth, leaving Jackson an orphan at age 14.

CNN: Talarico’s 12-day absence from trail becomes fodder for GOP in Texas Senate race
He has the flu and is a type 1 diabetic, those two things do not go well together so I understand. I’m t1 diabetic and last time I got the flu I ended up in the ICU. His team says he’ll be back this weekend though. meanwhile Tom Kean in NJ disappears for months with radio silence, comes back and cites vague medical issues, then votes to cut medical benefits. Couldn’t even get the guy to come visit a factory in town before the tariffs shut it down, lmao. Tom Kean Jr. is a worthless piece of shit. He should’ve been aborted. Paxton won’t even debate him and can’t answer any questions about his record without running away but yeah Talarico being sick with the flu is way worse Did not take CNN long to become right wing propaganda. Paxton has ran possibly the laziest campaign I've ever seen, but we're just going to make shit up about Talarico I guess. "Fodder for GOP"? They don't even need things that are real for fodder. They've been calling him a vegan all year and it's not true at all. They just make shit up.

hahahaha Posted by: r hennigantx at October 08, 2026 09:28 PM (/+uur) France Races Towards a Debt Crisis as the Nation Continues to be Besieged by Violent Foreigners Demanding to be Paid for PeaceBefore getting to that, let me offer a completely-unrelated bit of history. Via Google AI: Danegeld was a tax raised in Anglo-Saxon England and Francia from the 9th to the 11th centuries to pay tribute or protection money to Viking raiders to stop them from ravaging the land. Key Historical Facts • Meaning: The word comes from Old English, literally translating to "Dane payment" or "Dane yield". • Early Tribute vs. Army Tax: Originally known as gafol when paid directly to Vikings as bribes, it later evolved into a kingdom-wide land tax called heregeld (army tax) used to fund a standing defensive force or pay mercenary armies. • King Æthelred the Unready: The practice became most prominent during the reign of King Æthelred II (978--1016), who paid massive quantities of silver pennies (such as £10,000 in 991 CE and up to £48,000 in 1012 CE) to buy off invadersWith that irrelevant, off-topic mention of large bribes paid to violent invaders to not loot and pillage and kill them, let's turn to a completely different subject. France's, uh, guests are demanding, supposedly, more "resources" for schools. This demand comes at a very bad time. Because France's dysfunctional government is made up of alleged "centrists" and even some "conservatives" in a coalition with socialists and communists, no one can agree on a budget. So they just keep borrowing money, growing the deficit more and more. You can only borrow freely until the markets begin to doubt you can ever repay your debts. And then the cost of borrowing rises, and you have to borrow more and more at higher and higher interest rates until it becomes impossible to repay the debt and then people stop lending you money completely, and your finances collapse. France is now in this doom-loop of increasing debt and compounding interest on the debt.
Politico 4 Kidz, Axios: Meanwhile, the foreign guests continue ravaging the countryside while demanding the peasants pay them more money in exchange for a few months of pillage-free "peace."

A. France is in massive debt. B. “School kids” upset about insufficient funding are burning down their schools and beating up teachers.

There is a second example from British history even older than the Dane Geld. As Rome started dying off in the West the central government cut of Britain, told them to work out their issue of raiders and pirates on their own because they could not - they were basically working on the south coasts of France and Spain and Italy proper. This was somewhere in the 410s AD. So the British locals called up some Saxon tribesmen to defend their shores from the pirates and raiders, which worked for a while. Then after a bit of looking around at the situation, with Saxons being the sole military around, they started taking over the part of England in the South and next to the channel. Kent, Isle of Wight, all that area. And the other Angles and such followed them in. Posted by: Oldcat at October 08, 2026 05:33 PM (uhVAy) 36

USA too, or at least not far behind. Posted by: gp Not really, reserve currencies are different. It is more that debt financing gets much worse the more it is external to the state. In an ideal world, the currency can depreciate, making the country produce cheaper goods and consume less imported ones, but stuck in the Eurozone, France cannot resort to that. FWIW, both Japan and China have debts of over 300 percent of GDP. But in both cases, internally financed mostly, not external.

This could get interesting, but the EU always manages to talk their way out if a crisis.
Posted by: SpeakingOf I would phrase it put off the crisis rather than talking their way out of it. There are tactics that a large debtor can use that smaller ones cannot. And that applies to countries too--too big to fail means that the other countries in the Eurozone are forced to do things like require payins by those with savings and liquid assets to prop up the currency. Works in the short run but destroys trust in the long run just like formal defaults or allowing massive inflation as a soft default does. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 05:37 PM (E4rtv) 56

Unemployable? Ungovernable? The Muslims? Noooo... not the people who have a cultural allergy to gainful employment, and are heavily inbred, and have a demonstrated, unbroken record of homicidal psychosis?

Their family had a big blowout fight when the Muslim family came to visit. It started when, after asking nicely several times, my girlfriend and her mom flipped out on them: "This is America, dammit, and you will use toilet paper in this home and stop washing your disgusting, shit covered hands in our sink!!!" At which point they turned on the dad and started berating him about raising Christian whores with no respect for the old ways and blah blah blah.

The three economic pillars of the Euro are Germany, France and Italy. There are no other major players that can shoulder the Euro, and all three are at the rope's end financially.
Germany is looking at de-industrialization, France is looking at a bond and financial crisis, and Italy has PM Meloni talking to the US about a bilateral trade agreement. The Euro does not have sufficient value in it to support it as a straight fiat currency, and there really is not enough ability to satisfy anyone that the Euro based bonds are worth taking a risk on since there may not be any ability to pay them back except in inflationary Euros maybe. No matter how much everyone likes using Euros for foreign exchange, it is looking risky to hold those . the bad news is that they hold a lot of US Treasuries and bonds, and will probably start dumping them for things like buying diesel, so the Treasury auctions will be depressed which will look like an economic failure. The good news is that the Treasury will be buying them back at a discount, possibly wiping out US debt. Maybe if France defaults, this time we can ask them to occupy Iran for us.

If I was a US international company, I would be wary of this shit myself. They already, in the case of Cyprus, basically took money from depositors in those banks (often Russian) to 'bail in' the bank from losses from imprudent lending. Been floated around as a general rule for money kept in the EU by savers to temporarily save the EU from financial crises.
Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 05:55 PM (E4rtv) Stealing Russian assets and trying to liquidate them was a blunder, because plenty of people abroad who stash money in foreign banks for a "rainy day" at home suddenly found out the EU could pull out the carpet on them. So these kind of accounts started leaving for safer shores. But the problem behind the problem is that EU-socialism was always robbing Peter to save Paul, making your system weaker over time. What happens when Peter and Paul are both equally sickly? What happens when you have a hundred administrators managing Peter to Paul payments instead of one? At some point, Reality reasserts itself.

Debt is not good but not the existential crisis most people think it is. It ends with either an inflationary spiral or a formal default. Both have consequences as austerity does usually for about a decade or so of slow to no growth because people don't lend to government for awhile. Argentina is an example with multiple defaults--when it did borrow after a default, then it had to pay higher interest rates and the refusal to cut spending led to virtually no external funds flowing into Argentina for awhile and assets being seized abroad to pay for them. Got more examples if you want them of 'austerity' and countries including the UK post WWII when it was broke.

Posted by: tubal ======= I am used to a far higher level of insults when I submitted papers for peer review or at conferences. I don't get riled much about it. But simply most of the macroeconomics I learned including Chicago and Vienna schools as well as Keynesian and Marxist, are not borne out in reality. Microeconomics is pretty much a science which relies on price as its key foundation. Macro depends on what assumptions you make about what is good, bad, etc. and then you see the real world makes a pig's breakfast over assertions from a model because your model is underspecified (doesn't include all relevant variables). Tariffs are a perfect example. Taxes are another, so is borrowing, GDP, national debt, inflation, etc. We can find little truths but there is no big truth that we can trust even analyzing a domestic economy; it gets far worse when we bring in a multiplicity of other foreign actors into the equation. So no, simple thoughts don't make for reality. And fwiw, Dave in Florida was not wrong but the Democrat fraud was so massive that it made him look wrong in 2020. I was right there when that happened.

Argentina always has had a determination to follow through on the social welfare side of things, since that was Peron's path to stability, and a way for the Kirchners to stay in power -- I think it also had to do with a lot of very dedicated Italian unionists and anarchists immigrating in the late 1800's due to oppression in Italy about then and they colored the economics quite a bit. After the hyperinflation they pegged the peso to the US Dollar, and got bogged down because they couldn't afford the social welfare they promised.
Social welfare bought votes, bought participation, and was always a ready source of corruption. One of the things Milei has done is push the price of social services back onto the provincial governments when he couldn't cut them completely, and this makes counting centavos important. I believe that Minister of Public Security Patricia Bullrich is also quite focused on stomping out corruption. This was not focused on last time, and it is why they had to drop the peg Posted by: Kindltot at October 08, 2026 06:17 PM (rbvCR) 197

One of the things Milei has done is push the price of social services back onto the provincial governments when he couldn't cut them completely, and this makes counting centavos important. I believe that Minister of Public Security Patricia Bullrich is also quite focused on stomping out corruption. This was not focused on last time, and it is why they had to drop the peg
Posted by: Kindltot at October 08, 2026 06:17 PM (rbvCR) Milei's secret was actually firing chunks of the dead weight infesting the government there. Social services is one thing, paying thousands of ticks to suck your life blood is another. This is a lesson the EU will never learn, because they are 100 percent ticks.

This demand comes at a very bad time. Because France's dysfunctional government is made up of alleged "centrists" and even some "conservatives" in a coalition with socialists and communists, no one can agree on a budget.
So they just keep borrowing money, growing the deficit more and more. — Is this about France or AneriKa? Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at October 08, 2026 06:17 PM (T+9ay) France's government is just "anybody we can collude with to keep out the right wing" and has been for a decade. Macron himself was created by that. Same with England, and even Germany has been losing election after election by the 'big parties' in rotation to keep anyone who will fix things out of power for probably more than 10 years.

Argentina has not had a 30 year bond go through to maturity since 1890, and they were facing a hyperinflation again.

Sorry but that ain't ever gonna happen. In less than 5 years social security goes "bankrupt" and every single person drawing a SS check will have to take at least a 10% haircut and those people vote in huge numbers. The only way to avoid that is to increase deficit spending even more which is what will happen.

Therefore, by the credibly-accused rapist's own argument, he was unable to consent to such an act and she raped him by mouth. And this is not a sex act you can force on someone except through actual force -- holding a knife to their neck, for example. Which is not what she claims happened. She claims she had just been too drunk to give "real" consent. And oral sodomy is an act, I'm told, which requires considerable effort and seems unlikely to be performed by someone too drunk to even form the mental state of consent. Why is there no justice for this sexual assault survivor?'Cornell 7' frat bro claimed accuser 'sodomized' him and that school didn't care he was sex-assault 'survivor:' report The frat brother at the center of the "Cornell 7" gang-rape allegations claimed to campus officials that the accuser "sodomized" him -- and complained nobody cared he was a sex-assault "survivor," an explosive new report says. ... Ingalls -- the Chi Phi brother who the accuser said sparked her alleged 2024 gang rape -- wrote to campus officials in a seething email that the Ivy League school was guilty of "gender discrimination" and "entrapment" as it conducted its investigation into him and six of his fraternity brothers over the alleged horror. "You received information that I was sodomized by her while I was incapacitated back in November, and you never once thought to alert me of my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault?" Ingalls said in the February 2025 missive to Cornell's Title IX office and obtained by ABC. "The very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears: that this process is rolled [sic] with gender discrimination," he said. The email came three months after the woman, only identified as Jane Doe in her civil lawsuit involving the allegations, accused Ingalls of inviting her to his frat house and plying her with drugs and alcohol, then propositioning her for a three-way that quickly escalated into rounds of fraternity brothers stopping into the room to join in on the sex. Doe insisted she was too intoxicated to consent and called the incident rape -- something she also told Campus police in 2024, about three weeks after the alleged attack. But Ingalls was also drinking and drugging heavily that night -- with a 2024 statement from Doe describing how he kept falling asleep during the encounter before waking up to rejoin the alleged assault. After Doe made rape claims against him, Ingalls tried to frame his own intoxication to suggest that he was the victim that night, Cornell investigative documents showed.I mean, why isn't he? Heather MacDonald wants to know why, if there is a fraternity house rape crisis, do women keep going to fraternity houses? It's as if they know this whole "crisis" is made-up ideological horseshit. Wow: New text drops showing "Jane Doe" was a willing participant in the orgy and was critical of those who thought she was a slut. She says she's catching a lot of "heat" from "the Phi Phi girls" -- sorority girls were calling her a slut. "I don't think we should feel any shame... our body our choice." And so, the accusations began, almost a month after the event. This is a real rape victim you guys.

There was a local girl when I was in college who was known as Ten-Cent Tracy. Best I could tell, she was a nymphomaniac, or at least had some serious issues. Her behavior was like this girl, a lot, only she never cried rape. She also did the deed on a friend of mine when he was passed out.

Good.
Saw in UK DM that someone swatted her parent's house (where I guess she's living). She probably made the phone call. When I moved West I lived in a basement apt near campus (with 2 apt mates who were psych grad students I didn't know as arranged by the landlady). This house was basically down the street from some frat houses. I'd be walking home from campus, about a mile, and walked in the street at times if there were frat brothers on porches. Some asking me in for a beer. I'd shake my head no and keep walking. It was as easy as that as I was no fool, even then. Naive country girl but not stupid. Why would I? There was beer in our apt and two guys (and their gf's) who were typically there when I got out of class and work. From her text alone she was not ashamed, like a normal girl with values would be. She willingly participated and took their drugs. I was an idiot at times in college, with a team of Guardian Angels taking turns watching over me. I was lucky but I also had morals and was not a ho. I also felt somehow my parents would find out if I was bad on top of God knowing. I was a good girl who still managed to have a lot of fun. She is not a good girl.

Slight correction. Actual rape is the single worst crime against women. If a woman is murdered, she really doesn't care anymore. But rape is a life sentence for the victim.
Rape is also relatively rare, and almost nonexistent in college. But the threat of rape is always kept in mind by women, because women are typically not able to defend themselves against a larger and more determined aggressor. So, carry. There is a lot of serenity in knowing the playing field is level. Posted by: tcn in AK at October 08, 2026 04:39 PM (FyeA3) 26

Willowed:
Never make admissions until your attorney tells you to do so is the rule in criminal law.

I guess praising Satan is now trendy at liberal city council meetings: (Via GP)
Just days before Americans head to the polls, another city council meeting has become the center of controversy over a Satanic invocation, this time in Battle Ground, Washington. The controversy unfolded at the Battle Ground City Council’s October 5 meeting, where a representative associated with The Satanic Temple delivered an opening invocation that rejected traditional religious beliefs and concluded with a declaration praising Satan.

Sounds fun, but I'm not sure if it's worth $50,000 a year.
$50k? On what planet? For an undergraduate student, the estimated total cost of attendance at Cornell University for the 2026–2027 academic year is $99,734 per year for out-of-state students. However, because Cornell operates several state-contracted colleges, the price drops to $75,604 per year if you are a New York State resident enrolled in one of those specific programs.

Posted by: polynikes at October 08, 2026 04:45 PM (KC5Lt) Animal House was based on the ZBTs at Washington University, where Harold Ramis lived. They got their asses kicked off campus during his tenure there, mostly for the same excesses shown in the movie. They didn't go far, just a couple of blocks off campus, and as far as I know they are still there. But when I was at Wash U I didn't go anywhere near frat row. For one thing, architecture students have no time for that sort of nonsense, and for another, all the frats had hideous reputations. No thanks.

Anyway she mentioned they don't really worship Satan because the chief Priest of Satan had told her so at the Satan Temple.

There was a small park a couple of houses down from our house in college.
I was walking home from a friend's apt two miles away and goosed by a frat guy as I went up some stairs on the sidewalk. I immediately screamed,"You bastard" (I rarely cussed) and tried to hit him, and ran after him with the cast iron Dutch oven lid I was carrying. I have to assume my friend was coming that weekend to cook chili, and their car was broken as I didn't normally carry this lid. And, yes, I know I have told this before. My male apt mates were enraged and made me call the police. A cop came and took the report. I hope I didn't mention the Dutch oven lid or it was probably like the Pittsburgh Scanner report to other cops. I seriously would have beat the guy in the head with that lid and done some damage if I caught and tackled him. My weapon of choice slowed me down as I ran after him for about 20yds and then walked home po'd. This was by the park near our house at dusk. This is how I dealt with frat boys.

Back in the 90s was walking somewhere downtown with the victim du jour and suddenly I hear the incredible jet noise, shortly after I see one of the Blues screaming straight at us near Russian Hill or Nob Hill. Realized - oh yeah, Fleet Week. Hadn't even thought about it. Noise and echoes with the hills and buildings is are great.

Did she report it and consent to the process to capture evidence? Get a few rounds of super antibiotics afterwards? Know who I saw report rapes for the most part? Mothers and/or fathers dragging their teenager(s) to a hospital. Mothers who were raped when their children were present nearby. Facilities for specific needs adults who weren't certain if a rape or assault took place because the language or description was so unclear.

This is a legal shitshow designed to basically cause insurance for the college and fraternities/sororities, and even the bar involved to pay her off.
But now by being plastered across the US, the guys that were on the text chain for the free pussy text and the others at Cornell, including two dudes that did nothing more than look in the room and skeddaddle, are going to have to defend their reputation by shredding hers or they will have no life after this. No one looks good here, Cornell, the orgy bros, the frat, the sorority, the woman in question, etc. And all are going to get dragged through the mud with their reputations before all of this is done legally.

One of the more insane takes of the Clancy Cultists is the read of the texts from after she was banned from the frat--and seeking revenge--where she's trying to trick/coerce them into admitting what they did was rape.
The Clancy Cult spins this as some sort of temporary trauma amnesia from being raped--not an admission she was tripping balls, black-out drunk--and so her "feels" that something bad happened is proof.

209 One of the more insane takes of the Clancy Cultists is the read of the texts from after she was banned from the frat--and seeking revenge--where she's trying to trick/coerce them into admitting what they did was rape.
The Clancy Cult spins this as some sort of temporary trauma amnesia from being raped--not an admission she was tripping balls, black-out drunk--and so her "feels" that something bad happened is proof. With the clumsy entrapment texts then as proof of guilt of the men. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice ====== Kafka traps. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 05:22 PM (E4rtv) 214

205 Our daughter is a Kappa Kappa Gamma alum from a flagship state u, and our oldest grandson, her big boy, is a Chi Phi at another flagship state u. He is sophomore and living in the house.
His mom wants him to get out of the house and commit to living in an apartment next year, this, after the wall to wall news of a Tri Delta pulling a train at the Cornell Chi Phi house. I reminded her I tried to get him to go SAE and use his legacy status. SAE's been busted but only for hazing, not for being the campus porn channel. Posted by: M. Gaga ===== The Cornell Chi Phi frat was shut down apparently after this. This is not a recent blowup but occurred about two years ago (under the Biden junta actually) with not much notice at all on the national scene. Reason it came up now is obviously an op to activate the AWFL brigade for the fall elections. Basically to be in a frat (or a sorority) means being in the cross hairs of college administrators and wokists. And they intend collective punishment for whatever sins of the few did so they can maximize scalp taking. Thus the guys being leaked as recipients on the group text sent out by the black orgy bro.

I can only imagine my sons in college getting emails from their crazy mother about Title IX.
One girl son, casanova, met in summer school: Greek chick. During movie season of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." She fancied a non-Greek blonde dude & he fit the part. He told me that she was coming over to study for a physics exam while we were at work. I was in the ED and got a call that she had "fainted." He explained it all to me and when he dialed 91 of 911 she woke. He'd given her OJ and, like Rhett in Gone With the Wind, carried her to HIS BED. Then called his friend a block away to follow him as he drove her car home (she refused the ED, probably because I was there). I questioned him later and said, she didn't faint (you big dummy!). She never got sweaty or pale. Fell dramatically back onto the sofa gracefully vs a done fall out. He went with her to the MD the next day where she fake fainted again with blood tests. She went to UF to stalk him that fall. Came to his apt one day and tried the old faint thing again. He told her he wasn't falling for that and to go back to her apt. I told him to never let her in again! She's the type who would call Title IX. I did not raise fools. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 08, 2026 05:28 PM (hzuYO) 223
Here's just one of those "mansplaining" inconvenient facts:
Every woman knows multiple women who say they were raped. Yet almost no man knows rapist, or a man convicted of rape. The closest I know is my HS chemistry teacher getting caught making some exothermic reactions in a hotel room with a 17 year old female student. So he got 3 years for statutory rape.

The bad thing for at least one of the frat members is Ketamine was brought to the party and Ms Doe along with some or all of the 7 took it.
Even though Jane chose to take it, giving someone that veterinary sedative (very useful for animal surgery because it does not affect lung and heart function but the horse or dog wont try to bite your hand off IIRC) and then having group sex with them really was a bad thing to do. I said a few days ago I was on board with the two Cornell expulsions at the time of the college investigation if it was for getting the ketamine and bringing it to that party. Even for that dude or dudes I don't think there should be any legal consequences now at this late date, but the process is the punishment, all 7 will have to spend $$$ on lawyers and lose months out of their lives, and all so that Tish James and friends can say they are the party of protecting women.

Not sex (that we know if so far) but drugs. And it's not like PS Main doesn't know to keep eyes on fraternities (especially for hazing) and sororities
The hazing involved in "Operation Drugs Unlimited" was an unprecedented, highly organized forced labor system where fraternity pledges were required to act as an assembly line to process, cut, and package bulk cocaine. Rather than standard college hazing rituals involving drinking challenges, senior fraternity members used the pledge system and Greek life's strict code of silence as an indoctrination mechanism to fuel a massive, campus-wide drug ring. Pennsylvania authorities charged 14 people in connection with a major campus-wide cocaine trafficking ring dubbed "Operation Drugs Unlimited," which operated out of the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities. The individuals held or charged include the alleged student ringleaders, several fraternity members, and one student's father who attempted to hide evidence. Got quiet so quickly.

cont from my comment @ 222...he never went on a date with this crazy Greek girl. Knew her only in that summer school class.
She did have dinner with us once and seemed very odd with either an eating disorder or we gave her one that night. A mousey type girl and not his type. He dated a LOT of girls in HS and college, but she wasn't one. She wanted to date him and he'd probably have had to marry her after the first date. She told him a story of how her father, a commercial airline pilot, expected her to only date Greek boys. Ok! I expressed how I felt with her that summer and he is a nice guy. Who didn't listen to my warnings but did believe me when I said she's not fainting. I said this while laughing, which sort of ticked him off at the time. He called me after she stalked him to his apartment months later. I am close to both sons and while they feared me they knew I loved them. I should have called Title IX on her attempts to entrap him, but didn't think of it at the time and just told him to steer very clear of her. He's now married to a normal young woman after a traumatic 5yrs with a redhead I later wanted to murder. It's all good. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 08, 2026 06:02 PM (hzuYO) 229

Hit Disney next. The terrorist-aligned AP is sad.Thank you for that completely irrelevant Democrat party attack line in the middle of the article, AP. Um, the "system" he's referring to includes fraudulently "advertising" for positions where the advertisement is intended to never be seen. So your attempt to "correct the record" with another Democrat party attack line fails. Now for some more Democrat-Corporate Party messaging: ... Doug Rand, a former senior adviser at USCIS during the Biden administration, called Vance's announcement "incoherent." "If the Trump administration were truly concerned that H-1B workers are 'indentured servants,' then the last thing they would do is block companies from helping their own H-1B workers get green cards," he said. "Once you have a green card, you're no longer dependent on your employer for your immigration status -- you're a permanent resident who can change jobs and negotiate higher wages without fear."These are just the figures for a single year: Vance said Microsoft last year laid off 6,000 American workers but also obtained 6,300 H-1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards. "If you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants," Vance said in a White House news conference announcing the decision. "Our message to Microsoft is: You're a great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers." ... The H-1B program has long been a target of Trump supporters who say that the program undercuts American workers and is rife with abuse. H-1B visas are meant for high-skilled jobs that are difficult to find American workers to fill. Technology companies are the biggest users, with nearly three-quarters of approvals going to workers from India.Trump also moved to punish so-called universities for abusing the system. Foreigners come over to study at universities and work at jobs during and after their study. Trump wants colleges to pay $70,000 per student to cover the costs to the government of this pain in the ass. And also, cut down on abuse -- I imagine that many foreigners are coming just to take a couple of credits per semester, using the program as a backdoor to scam what is effectively another H-1B visa.

There's a great documentary out there that has probably been banned off the usual platforms where they show the difference between the "masters of animated features" and the people the brought in to replace them. Disney terminated their most talented and decorated animators and brought into young, liberal (just out of school) kids to do their animation features...and you can see the difference in quality, message, and entertainment.

They briefly had the undisputed leadership position circa 2012, too. Pixar was still making good movies and John Lasseter was in charge of Disney animation, which got them Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen. That made a lot of ugly women at Disney very angry so they got rid of him and made all of the movies be about fat lesbians. They had Peak Woke 5 years before the rest of the world, which is not an innovation to brag about. Posted by: Ian S. at October 08, 2026 03:36 PM (2ocoG) 21

As a software manager I could see the abuse of the program in universities. When advertising software positions, approximately 90% of the applicants are Indian nationals in a CS Masters program applying for work, even if they are just in the first weeks of their program. The education VISA gets them into the US and in huge, organized masses they flood the job search sites looking for an employer to sponsor them and will drop out if they get lucky.

What is not mentioned is that Microsoft looted the taxpayers of their wealth, diluted their culture, and sold off our inheritance to save 20-30% on salary.
When an employer buys himself an indentured servant through the H1B slave trade, the H1B has an immediate upgrade from whatever shithole they came from to an advanced formerly high-trust society. Then Microsoft expects that we spend a quarter million dollars for each of their Anchor Babies' K-12 education. That we grant them to bring over their village and put their parents on to our welfare system, that we subsidize the use of our parks, roads, courts; that we pay for their security, their medical bills, all in exchange that our culture is degraded, replaced and marginalized. And what Microsoft gets is a crappier product that drives people to use Linux. Posted by: Community Notes at October 08, 2026 03:41 PM (a3CJ+) 26

The education VISA gets them into the US and in huge, organized masses they flood the job search sites looking for an employer to sponsor them and will drop out if they get lucky.
The education visa is the golden ticket because that visa makes the employee exempt from the employer's contribution to FICA. Built right in is a 15% advantage over an American citizen. H1Bs, OTOH, do pay into FICA and unless there is a special agreement, that money is never realized unless they end up as US citizens by getting that foothold and a household full of anchor babies and their parents.

30+ year veteran of the tech industry here:
There was NEVER a shortage of engineers. The entire premise behind the H1B is, was, and always will be, a LIE. It was only ever about importing cheap labor, and on the Indian side it was about waging economic warfare against us by sending American money back to India in the form of remittances. Something like 12% of India's GDP is foreign remittances. These Indians are loyal to Modi, loyal to India, and engage in racist, nepotistic hiring practices to hire more and more indians and send more and more remittances back to India. And here's the other fact: 95% of Indian "Engineers" can't even code. Not even with the help of AI - and this is why every major corporate software has gotten markedly WORSE over the last 20 years (while open source software has gotten markedly BETTER in that time) - because these Indian "engineers" can't code. In short: FUCK INDIA. End the H1B and Deport them all. Don't even make them train their American replacements because they can't do the job anyways.

That, pretty much, effects every type of VISA handed out by consular offices. H1-B1's , Student VISA's, Temp. Work VISA's. etc. They falsify and create diplomas, work experience, credentials, law degrees, medical degrees, tech degrees....etc. Domestically, when India's top law office requested a vetting of all practicing lawyers in India to address this problem, over 40% of lawyers (practicing law in India) refused to be vetted.

targeting MS is a bit rich. I'd bet actual real money that Musk's various companies abuse it far more often and egregiously.
I would not be surprised it was done at the behest of Musk because of the direct competition of CoPilot and Grok. Did Microsoft forget to give Tom Homan his bag of $50,000? Gotta remember those bribes are annual bribes. You'd think Microsoft would know how the subscription payment model works. If there are no fraud lawsuits or criminal cases, I think it should be illegal to claim fraud but show zero evidence, CMV. Pretty sure that Microsoft has better lawyers than the feds these days. I would blame incompetence for them taking 2 years to figure this out, but it’s probably just corruption. Also the timing just before the election makes it even more suspect. Doesn’t change it from being a good thing, but now do the rest of the tech industry. 100%. Oracle, Amazon, Facebook, Google, all of Musk's companies, etc. Selective enforcement is bad, even if if the enforcement of targeted companies is not.

They decided to send one of our advanced machines there and let the Indian team handle setting it up. They kept giving updates that were good...a little too good. So the Project Manager asked them, then demanded they, send a picture of the machine in the room setup for them...he got a picture of an empty room. Now this wasn't them screwing up or stealing...the machine was actually stuck in customs outside of their control.

One of the best ways to increase American salaries is to reduce the supply of labor.
Its a lot more complicated than that. For example, during the cheap money low interest days, Big Tech was a casino where for very little money you can do all kinds of stupid things and hire staff at large money. There were many companies that should have never been started because the business model was very pie in the sky. That created an artificial demand for tech talent. Artificial in the sense that after mountains of code were written, the company would fail due to no clients or no real income stream and the investors getting tired of pumping in round after round of money. So with expensive money, that demand for warm bodies has diminished. The "need" for H1Bs has dropped, but also the demand for workers too.

But in doing so they are forced to amplify his message. And because he called them fake news from the start, and they made it clear they were opposing him from the start, their message is diluted severely.

89 One of the best ways to increase American salaries is to reduce the supply of labor.
Now, this does increase the costs MSFT and the like are paying but as those on the left always tell us "big corporations can afford to give up some of their earnings" Posted by: 18-1 ------------------ There is another side to all this. The reason US costs are high is because of the massive regulatory and tax burden. Someone mentioned FICA above, but there is so much more. I have known tech managers who love H1bs because they can't complain. (the managers say that publicly.) No discrimination, no sexual harassment, no 30 hours of legal fees and 3 months of paper trail to give them a bad review. And they are young, so it lowers insurance costs, etc. I keep typing and deleting here. We have a work culture problem in US, and I think a lot of that comes from HR and Legal making it hard to fire people for being shit workers. H1bs solve that, but what I am saying is we have two problems. - Shortage due to low wages, due to h1bs - bad work culture - high regulatory and tax burden making wages seem too high to compete.

122 O/T:
Met with the First Daughter's attorney today. He went to her arraignment and learned the charges, then met with the DA to discuss a plea deal. They've offered 18 months deferred adjudication, $750 in fines, court costs, 60 hours community service, some class requirements and that stupid ignition blocker in her car (at $300 a MONTH) for 9 months. He will try to negotiate that down from there. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at October 08, 2026 04:05 PM (ccf/V) I'd almost settle for that, but see if he can lower any part of it. If the DA is firm, take it...but there's probably room for either the fine and/or the ignition blocker to be lowered due to her being personally poor. Successful delayed adjudication would end up with zero record aka dismissed charges/a lack of conviction - that would be an awesome outcome for her for the long term...

Our helpdesk team is in India. They're the team you ping if you need more AI tokens or if you need new access rights. All of their tasks are drop-dead, brain-dead simple. Every time I need something like that, I ping people in the US who have rights to do things like that, but aren't on those teams. I only put in a helpdesk ticket as a last resort. Every time I've dealt with helpdesk, it's the same experience. It takes at least two days for them to acknowledge your request. Then they stall at least three days by asking three word questions they could have answered for them if they read the title or description of the request. They "work" when we're asleep, so it's at least a 24 hour turnaround time when they ask stupid things like, "is this for you?" when you're asking for access to a machine. Something that should take at most two minutes to click a box or run a script takes at least a work week. It's infuriating. Posted by: bonhomme at October 08, 2026 04:15 PM (mkw2N) 161

195 I've never done criminal work as a paralegal, so my thoughts on criminal cases should be viewed with caution.
Just throwing my two cents in here and there. Posted by: Bulg ========= Never make admissions until your attorney tells you to do so is the rule in criminal law. Always let your attorney do any communication because it prevents it from being used against the defendant in court. Somewhat true in civil as well. People get into trouble all the time by not keeping their mouth shut in legal affairs. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 04:32 PM (E4rtv) 207

Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 08, 2026 04:39 PM (6ydKt) Rubio Delivers Speech at the Acropolis, Rallying the West to Embrace Western Values and Western RootsIt seems strange that anyone would even have to advocate for this. Ben Whedon for Just the News:Rubio's Acropolis speech pitches Trumpism as a return to Western roots Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a speech Wednesday at the Acropolis in Athens cast the Trump administration and its broader movement as a conscious revival of the foundational principles of Western Civilization and urged Europe to follow its lead. ... Rubio's decision to deliver the speech against the backdrop of the Acropolis was deliberate. The ancient site is perhaps the most widely known monument associated with classical Greece, which scholars have traditionally viewed as the progenitor of what is now called "the West." "For thousands of years, the civilizations that built what stands behind me have captivated the imagination of the Western world," Rubio opened. "The things we owe to this place as Americans -- and as Westerners -- are actually far, far deeper. What blossomed here in this place was the Western desire to uncover all that ignorance, darkness, and distance had kept hidden from the mind of man." But Rubio went beyond romantic invocations of the ancient past and insisted that the modern Trump administration was working to advance a classically-influenced theory of politics. He further spelled out a tangible theory of statecraft on the world stage and encouraged European nations to adopt it themselves. "For all their lofty ideals, the ancient Greeks were not naive," Rubio argued. "They understood that nations have interests. They understood that statecraft requires prudence and diplomacy. But they also understood that it requires the ability to wield force with prudence when diplomacy fails." "They understood that power requires not only having the means to defend yourself, it requires the credibility that you are willing to use it. This is the classical understanding of politics and of statecraft that the Trump administration hopes to reclaim, reclaim not just for our country, but for the whole of our civilization. We believe that Europe can awaken from its long slumber and rekindle the fire that was lit here millennia ago." Rubio then went further to explain how to weave those ideas into the political landscape of a modern, increasingly international world, saying "[n]ational interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions" and that nations still faced threats that required them to respond. He stated that the path forward was to rebuild international institutions while "understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them, but is to defend them, and that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests." That position seems to come as a rebuke of globalism, cultural uniformity, and mass immigration on a large scale as many Western nations shift toward the political right in response to the influx of non-Western immigrants.The full speech is here. The speech begins with a narrative about the rise of democracy and western values. I'll skip past that to get to the part where he begins to make his argument. This passage is about the need for actual competition in a society, and standards of excellence, lest that society devolve into shapeless, useless communism. That's a refutation of fake, communist "equity," in which everyone is a winner and everyone gets a participation award, and of course no one accomplishes or produces anything because there's no benefit to doing so. He also attacks transnationalist "Davosism," the socialist dream of all national borders melting away into one gigantic ultrastate. Now it's has become fashionable today to believe that enlightened foreign policy means prioritizing the global community over one's own people. And I think here, too, we have much to learn from the men of ancient Greece because they knew that there was nothing selfish or wrong about loyalty to your nation, nor anything selfish or wrong about fighting to defend its interests above all else. They believed -- fiercely -- in the ideal of the great man: the exceptional individual who obtains immortality through his own deeds. But they believed that glory and fame, those things were won through striving, sacrificing and achieving greatly for something larger than yourself. The recurring hero of the ancient Greek world was the man who was willing to pay any cost for a cause worthy of his loyalty. ... These -- these are the qualities that would shape the Western moral imagination. From the Christian martyr who refused to betray his faith to the patriot who gave his life for his country; from Saint Thomas More to the Battle of the Alamo, running through the immortal closing words of the Declaration of Independence of the United States which says, "We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." ... This is wholly different from what we see, even now, for example from fanatics like the radical mullahs of Iran, whose cult of death hails child suicide bombers as national heroes, and portrays martyrdom as an end to itself. Our heroes -- our heroes may be willing to die for their cause; but our heroes do not worship death. It is precisely because we value life that we come to recognize the heroism in those who would sooner sacrifice it than to betray their principles. Now, we take the West's conception of these things -- heroism, honor, duty -- we take these things for granted. We assume that these somehow are universal to all people in all times and in all places. They are not. They are the product of a distinct character, a distinct character which arose here and shaped the whole story of the civilization that came after it. A civilization that we must fight to defend today with the same passion as our forefathers did. ... The greatest Americans of every generation have carried the unmistakable features of their forefathers -- born in Athens, formed by Rome, baptized in Christendom, hardened in the furnace of medieval Europe, endowed with the English genius for liberty, and then carried across the Atlantic to be reborn on the shores of a new world. Together, we must now rediscover that spirit. We are at an inflection point -- an inflection point not only in the history of my nation, but an inflection point in the whole of our civilization. The threats we face today are every bit as real as they were on the dramatic stage of antiquity. National interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions. War did not disappear simply because we preferred peace. Other states continued to arm, to seek influence, to compete for territory, and technology, and resources, and markets, and energy, and power. And now, there is war again. There is new competition between great powers again. There is vulnerability, aggression, terrorism, a whole universe of new threats and attacks again. And so we must rebuild our institutions and our alliances to face these threats together -- understanding that the purpose of these things is not to abolish the sovereignty of the nations that constitute them; it is to defend them. And that nations need not abandon their distinct identities in order to recognize their common interests.An excerpt:

Interestingly the Greek city states did eventually get forcibly added to a superstate - Rome. At which point they went from each being a force to being just a cog in the Roman state.
And it is interesting because prior to that those greek city states were hitting way about their size in the world - look at the conflicts with the Persian Empire which controlled most of the world at the time Posted by: 18-1 at October 08, 2026 02:32 PM (sKqQm) 7

There's a one-act-play-writing competition among the middle class ladies' culture clubs of New York City. They'll be performed and judged in a single event. A Broadway producer is there to see if there's any usable talent. STOP RIGHT THERE. At the same time, I'm reflecting on how Chinese workers during that time were forced to grind away their "spare hours" listening to lectures about the greatness of Mao Tse-tung Thought. I'm learning about Somali gangs shooting up Minnesota suburbs. wtf? America has so much productivity and creativity in it it's NUTS. It's our culture, our national identity.

It is exactly these type of appeals to the past that globalists and leftists despise. That’s not only because is shows the superiority and proven ideals upon which western society was built, but is shows the demonstrable, historical failure of the ideas and policies they bleat.

I think you can certainly question some of the things Rubio has said in the past, just like Trump. But it is the evolution of those thoughts that really matters. Rubio at least seems to have matured into much more than he was even five years ago.

You simply cannot listen to that speech, and understand both the content and context, yet no be impressed or at least provoked by it. People don’t speak like that a lot anymore. But it is one thing we are missing in our dialogue today- a thoughtful, sober, fact based recitation of how we arrived at this age.
Many of the same people praising the speech also dismiss the importance of having Senators and Congresscritters make an impassioned, well-considered speech or interrogation of a hostile witness. Sure, it's easy to mock their shirtsleeve status, but a good speaker is still worthwhile. Words matter. Words can move people. Ask Churchill.

Vance hasn’t locked the nomination in by any means. Posted by: SpeakingOf ========= Vance is tying himself to ending the OPT and H1B as frontman today. This is one of the biggest hits on globo homo corporatists in a long while and going after Microsoft and Adobe takes guts. Young white males in college or recent graduates have not benefited as much from the Trump economy yet because corporations have tried to layoff as many citizens and hire foreigners in order to bolster corporate profits. Those not in college are seeing a much better job market right now. This action restricting the endless corporate greed for cheap labor is going after what this group of voters see as corporations destroying their hopes and dreams by hiring cheap visa applicants that are often not even qualified over Americans.

Heard tell that the Rev. Jim Talarico Jones has no - zero - campaign appearances scheduled before the election. Kinda brilliant, actually. He's already grifted millions from his campaign, and will keep whatever he doesn't spend from now until the election. If he were to keep campaigning, he'd have to spend a bunch of that money, and if he fundraises, his donors will inevitably be pissed when he gets his ass kicked. By laying low, he can claim that "the polls and all the Democrat advisers told me that I had it in the bag!", and avoid being blamed. Then he can take all of the remaining cash and live out his days doing butt stuff on Fire Island. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at October 08, 2026 02:52 PM (y9nCu) 78

Europe can't afford Europe anymore. Biting the bullet, so to speak, will cause enormous stress throughout each membership nation.
Coddling their peoples while living rent-free under the American security umbrella worked for a while, until America had its own re-awakening. No more. We pulled our strategic bombers out of the UK because the UK refused to take responsibility for its own defense. It has, at least for the moment, lost its own identity as a country and as a people.

The EU is increasingly totalitarian, run technocratically and, so far, relatively benignly, but when globalist parties start getting flushed in country after country, Brussels will get ugly. In the meantime, they are all out of money. Even Germany is in economic trouble. This whole "Russia, Russia, Russia" scare reminds me of Wag The Dog, scaring voters in hopes they won't see the self-made disaster looming.

You know, there's a reason China ultimately resorts to espionage, corporate espionage and outright theft in just about every advancing (as well as established) long term field.
It's because their brand of government and social structure breeds stagnancy. You are not rewarded for innovation. The state is rewarded in your place. You get to succeed if they SAY you get to succeed. And, ultimately, that allows you to obtain credit for someone else's accomplishment(s). So, as expected the ingenuity and innovation of discovery is stifled in China. So, they take from others not held back (as much) by that structure. No one really ever says this out loud. I think Rubio just might one of these days. Posted by: Orson at October 08, 2026 02:53 PM (dIske) Posted by: FenelonSpoke at October 08, 2026 02:54 PM (JrHfD) 84

It's been obvious for some time but Rubio's speech along with some previous remarks from him, Trump, JD and others are building the case against the globalists that have been leading the west for the last number of decades. He's putting another very eloquent stake in the ground for a return to the days of the nation state when the west was strong, proud and leading the world.
Given the current election results throughout Latin America, Germany, the rise of Marine Le Pen and others I think it's perfectly timed. There are others in the west though not as visible and they need leadership and reassurance that the lone super power of the world is back and ready to lead. Onward Christian Soldier and all that.

Great, thoughtful oratory has been part of every single important societal battle we have fought. It’s people’s enthrallment with their personal lives, vanity and the (purposeful) distractions provided by social media that have changed. People foolishly believe they are becoming more enlightened when in reality they are becoming slaves to whatever mendacity, obfuscation and distortion they read on the internet.

" Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh · 3h 🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance just exposed socialists like Bernie Sanders 10 YEARS AGO opposing open borders because it's cheap labor, now they CRY FOUL when Trump cracks down on displacement of Americans "[For them], it's not about the working class. It's about their HATRED of native-born citizens!" 🎯 "Back in 2016...when Bernie Sanders...was asked about open borders. He gave an answer that sounded similar to Stephen Miller said — of course we're not going to have open borders, because that's going to displace American workers!" "It is ironic that so many of the self-described socialists running across this country, they love the idea of replacing American workers with foreign workers." 💯 Bernie literally called open borders "a Koch brothers proposal" that would make Americans poorer Now his own party fights Trump on every single move to protect American jobs!

I don't think Marco will run for POTUS in '28 (unless Trump cuts JD off), and I plan on voting for JD even if Marco runs. But that was a fantastic speech. Marco probably did not write (much of) it, but he is responsible for it. The setting was perfect; camera was placed just right, and not using a teleprompter paradoxically made it more authenic. Twentienth Century pols all read/delivered speeches without a prompter. It led to small speaking mistakes (like Marco made yesterday), and I suppose the looking up and down at the text can seem a bit off-putting, but to me it makes the speaker look more thoughtful. Maybe Marco did not have a prompter available at that location, but he was able to pull it off. Not sure anyone else on the political stage today could do it.

One nit to pick. Devout Orthodox Christians (I saw at least one Orthodox bishop in the audience) may not have been enthusiastically on board with Marco's citing of Augustine and Aquinas. Some of Augustine's teachings were not accepted by the Orthodox (even before the Great Schism), and in the Fourteenth Century an Orthodox Council specifically rejected a lot of Scholastic theology. Just a nit on my part, however. And I would have been estatic if Marco had recognized the role of the Eastern (Greek) Roman Empire in keeping civilization alive during the Dark Ages and fighting alone against Mohamidism for so many centuries.

"187...Orthodox can hardly say that all their saints were perfect either."
------------------------------------------- Agreed! And FWIW, I have no problem with saying "St Augustine." Weigh the volume of all the good he did and the soundness of almost all his doctrine against the few errors and there is no comparison. I've heard that some of his errors can be traced back to his lack of Greek and therefore not being exposed to numerous issues that had already been decided in the East. And he was frequently reacting to bad heresy, and sometimes his arguments went too far and tipped into statements that could be later taken out of context.

In Yarvin's view, democratic governments are inefficient and wasteful and should be replaced with sovereign joint-stock corporations whose "shareholders" (large owners) elect an executive with total power, but who must serve at their pleasure.[45] The executive, unencumbered by liberal-democratic procedures, could rule efficiently much like a CEO-monarch.[45] Yarvin admires Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping for his pragmatic and market-oriented authoritarianism.

Interestingly the Greek city states did eventually get forcibly added to a superstate - Rome. At which point they went from each being a force to being just a cog in the Roman state.
And it is interesting because prior to that those greek city states were hitting way about their size in the world - look at the conflicts with the Persian Empire which controlled most of the world at the time Posted by: 18-1 at October 08, 2026 02:32 PM (sKqQm) Forcibly is kinda a strong word for the Roman incorporation of Greece. Greece starting calling them in to settle disputes between one lame coalition of states and another coalition of states. Or to fight off Macedon. So they got the standard treaty which was Rome protects you, and you have to do what they say, a patron-client relation. Then later, when the patron wanted something they didn't do it, and Rome came down on them like a hammer for a violation of the rules. Eventually they were reduced to provincial status and vegetated. Posted by: Oldcat at October 08, 2026 04:34 PM (uhVAy) Don't Call Them Somali Gangs. Call Them Well-Armed Doctors and Engineers.The Somali community, and the left generally, continues to rage that Somali gang members are called Somali gang members. They want them called "American" gang members. And they insist that the problem isn't Somalis, it's just guns. FoxNews:Video of that shootout below. When you have a Somali tribal beef that involves shooting one hundred bullets next to suburban bedrooms where children are sleeping, people's indulgence of endless migrant crime begins to run out. But the lesbian tank operating as Hennepin County's DA says that we shouldn't resort to simplistic answers like putting criminals in jail. Uh-huh. Citizens know this is bullshit. One railed against the endless flow of obfuscatory left-wing bullshit to hide the real problem. Yesterday I mentioned a police chief stating that these gangland shootouts aren't even about money or drugs (yet). They're just well-off teenagers who are devolving to the Somali preference for internecine warfare. In nearby Bloomington, where about 100 casings were recovered from the scene of a late-night firefight that appeared to involve automatic weapons, Police Chief Booker Hodges took a confrontational tack toward the suspects who remained at large -- while warning they do not fit the typical stereotype of gang members. "They're coming from two parent homes, living in apartment buildings with $3,500 a month rent, driving Beamers and Mercedes. They're not dealing with money. There's no drugs in the house. They're purchasing legal firearms," he said.Michele Tafoya, running to be a senator from Minnesota, is campaigning on the issue. Below, the shootout caught on surveillance cameras. Imagine living with this.
About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

The patriarch of my family came here legally and alone when he was 15 years old. He never took a dime from anyone, except his parents who paid for his voyage. He did every job possible to eat and live. He had little formal education, but was an avid reader. He felt that education was a gateway to the better life that America was offering. His books were on everything from how to work cement, engineering, plumbing to classic literature which he learned to love. He had a scar on his head where a foreman hit him with a wrench. The reason? He figured out how to make a piece on a lathe where he could manufacture numerous pieces at one time. He was getting paid by the piece, so that allowed him to make more money. The foreman didn’t like that he made more than him, so he tried to kill him with a wrench. His children all went to college in an age when few didn’t. He paid for it all, and the children helped supplement it by working. That’s after most of them also served the country. In the end, he felt that being productive, making a contribution and raising a good family who would love and support the country was the best thing he could do to show his gratefulness. That’s how it’s done.

Trump 2.0 is leading the largest denaturalization effort in decades. Unfortunately, SCOTUS precedent requires individual court cases through the actual court system for each denaturalization. It's slow and arduous, but Trump is doing everything he can to expand precedent.

"We need more people focused on this problem. Because 50 kids in this 300 need to go to jail, 25 need to be prosecuted by the feds for RICO and and another 25 need to be prosecuted at the local level. Take 50 of the most active out of the mix, and we will see dramatic changes," he said. No, you need to round up all 300 (and another 10 each for siblings and others so inclined), bundle them into choppers, and fly them back to SkinnyLand. That the choppers will become short of fuel and have to drop their passengers off in mid flight will be a minor, but necessary tragedy.

We went through a massive pro-immigration push in the late 19th century. It lasted from the Civil War until the 1920s with the passing of the Immigration Act of 1924 that essentially cut off immigrants from America completely. It lasted until the Kennedys.
In that late 19th, early 20th century time, immigrants also didn't assimilate. They created ethnic enclaves, mostly in cities, and became voting blocs. Italians, Polish, Chinese, they refused to learn English, were heavily insular, and caused massive problems in labor and public safety, creating a slowly building backlash that led to that 1924 act. It took literally decades, but the Overton Window did eventually shift to the point where Congress would pass it and Coolidge would sign it. We won't get our version of the 1924 act under Trump, but we could get it in the next decade if things keep moving our direction.

Federal prosecutors are seeking an indictment against Hutchinson for allegedly lying to Congress about President Donald Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to Punchbowl News’ Laura Weiss. The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division presented evidence to a federal grand jury Tuesday and plans to introduce additional witnesses and evidence later this month, Weiss reported on X, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter. https://tinyurl.com/es6an3rd Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 08, 2026 01:59 PM (iFTx/) 133

feels more comfortable for some people to say East African.
Which would include Egyptians, Sudanese (both flavors), Eritreans, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Ugandans, Burundians, Tanzanians, Mozambiquans(?), and maybe some South Africans. The majority of whom are very different from Somalians, culturally. (Most of those have actual governments, rather than a collection of warlords masquerading as "a" government. Other countries might be similar to Somalia in culture - tribal, corrupt, etc. - but none are quite as far gone as Somalia. IMO.) Posted by: GWB at October 08, 2026 02:36 PM (kU0PQ) 246

Stop all funding to
All of them. Posted by: Lizzy -------- FIFY. Seriously, stop handing out money, i.e.: "grants" to anyone for anything other than goods and services for the government. Toilet paper for the bathrooms in the PO, OK. Janitorial service to clean the toilets, fine. Money to someone to hand out toilet paper to "low income families", not only no, but hell no. To much money gets stuck to NGO palms, even if they've doing something we want done. Posted by: buddhaha at October 08, 2026 03:37 PM (8hzZQ) 254

I've been raging on the Lutheran and Catholic 'Charities' bringing these uncivilized savages here rather than ministering to them in their own country and it occurred to me to ask the question...how many of these Somali's converted to Lutheranism or to Catholicism or to any Christian denomination? You know,...in thanks for being 'ministered' to?
I think the answer is probably 0.0%. Posted by: Chairborne!...Desk From Above! at October 08, 2026 01:38 PM (QSxSN) Those groups got occupied by communists from the Universities. They aren't Lutheran or Catholic. Posted by: Oldcat at October 08, 2026 04:20 PM (uhVAy) 257

Posted by: Goatweed at October 08, 2026 04:52 PM (jK3NL) El-Sayed, Ready to Campaign with Shit-Fingered Midas, Previously Said Obama Was a Failed President Who Left the Country Off Worse Than When He Found ItLOL. The "Deporter in Chief" fake-insult was contrived by Obama in league with open borders advocates to claim he was a super-deporter when in fact he threw the borders wide open. He didn't deport people -- he pulled another statistical sleight-of-hand and redefined persons merely turned away at the border as "deported," which they had never before been counted. This allowed him to greatly inflate the number of "deportations" he was conducting and thus claim to be a border defender instead of what he was, a border eraser. Obama's tepid prosecution of the War on Terror was too much for this proud and arrogant terrorist spokesman. "That memory will serve not as a reminder of the history we made that night -- but of the silly emotions of a naïve young man who didn't understand that hope and change required more than flowery prose and a winning smile," El-Sayed wrote of Obama's first election. "I have little hope because there has been less change." ... El-Sayed also took shots at the Affordable Care Act, Obama's signature accomplishment and legacy across his two terms, calling it a "watered-down reform that kowtows to the interests of healthcare lobbies."Full communism or bust. El-Sayed said that Obama's fake recovery -- propagndized with another sleight-of-hand redefinition, changing "jobs created" to "jobs saved or created" -- was in fact fake. This is a story that Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed -- by the way, he told critics to "keep my name out of your mouth," so f*** you, Vain Terrorist, I'll use your full name every time I refer to you -- does not need. Black voters are already wary of him. A little good news, maybe: Early voting has started in Michigan and ballots from Trump counties are coming in at a faster rate than they have before.

Thus, the idiotic Clancy crap, the Cornell 7 op, and others to gin up Single White Liberal Female votes.

37 I don't have a working TV except for CD's and DVD's, don't do social media except for when its comments are reproduced here, and so I don't see many campaign ads . The only one I saw was a Bruce Blakeman ad for Governor of NY ( using AI to mock Kathy Hochul) and one for Steve Hilton for Governor of CA. So my question is this; What are Democrats saying that would encourage people to believe they have concrete plans to deal with "affordability"?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at October 08, 2026 12:20 PM (JrHfD) Great question, Fen. The Democrats aren't saying, and the media aren't asking. I watch financial media regularly (Bloomberg), and while they are quick to emphasize the reasons why Trump's economy is in trouble - in direct contradiction to the strong economic numbers they report every single day - they never ask what the Dems will do to fix the 'problems'. You'll hear one of their analysts say that 'the markets like gridlock', but that's a meaningless statement which never gets adequately explained. All very hand wavy. It's clear that the financial press has been thoroughly infiltrated by leftists and is not to be trusted with anything more than reading off market levels.

From above, "He also dismissed the Affordable Care Act as insufficient and argued that Obama's incremental approach helped create the conditions for Donald Trump's rise."
Just nudging "Medicare for All." Bet he has Obama's blessing! From Obama: "We chose to write a new chapter, where in a new economy, Americans are free to change their jobs or start a business, chase a new idea, raise a family, free from fear, secure in the knowledge that portable, affordable health care is there for us and always will be." He reiterated in other speeches that if a young person wanted to "try many different jobs and careers until you find one that suits you," portable insurance would grant them the "freedom to pursue" those dreams. Advocacy groups like Americans for the Arts noted that the ACA fundamentally changed the economic reality for the creative community, and many more. --- This region is fundamentally changing "healthcare" at a rapid pace. Suddenly, whole services such as Radiology are without employees. They're leaving for more money, unionizing if they stay, slow walking non-emergency services, etc. Buy into demands or go boutique services.

He also dismissed the Affordable Care Act as insufficient and argued that Obama's incremental approach helped create the conditions for Donald Trump's rise. This is a pattern I see from the left a lot now, namely, if you don't destroy the previous system and implement our solution 100% then everything will suck. This should turn any rational person away from such as idea - if things get worse when your system is partially implemented it likely means the system is making things worse. And I'll contrast this with capitalism. When the Chinese under Deng implemented modest market reforms the rates of starvation and privation went down. When they were fully socialists they were reduced to cannibalism. Posted by: 18-1 at October 08, 2026 12:41 PM (sKqQm) 143

He came and sat down by my chair as I was at the computer, until he finally felt calm enough to go back to bed. Posted by: Bulg at October 08, 2026 12:51 PM (77rzZ) 206

Well, I've done all I could to prepare my home for potential water intrusion from the coming storm surge -- stacking furniture and whatnot up high on tables, etc.
I wanted to sandbag all the entrances, but, yesterday, when I got to the "free sand" site set up by the county, there was a crap ton of sand, but no bags. I was told that they'd be getting more bags today. I just got back from there -- still no bags. Oh, well, I did what I could. I'm not waiting until tomorrow when the weather will be nasty and the roads clogged with traffic. I'm bugging out in about an hour to a place around 40 miles north. See y'all around. (Piper, if you are reading, I saw your response to me at the end of the one thread yesterday. Thanks for the offer. I think I'll be okay, though, in my bugout place. Be safe).

Gonna be honest here I don't think most of those "voters"
ever actually cast those ballots. Posted by: 18-1 Depends on where those ballots are coming from. In urban areas, the blank ballot is exchanged for gift cards or some other token of the Dem appreciation in apartment complexes, jails, etc. and also picked up from vacant lots, shopping malls, etc. as well as dead letter office at USPS. They are filled out by Dem operatives and then submitted via drop box or mail. Sometimes the Dems are lazy and just photocopy one ballot and submit the photocopies in the names of voters.

"They" set the goals of taking out all of the women involved in high positions with the Trump administration before mid-terms.
AI Overview: After the 2018 midterms, the "hellfire" came at Trump. Democrats won a decisive majority in the House of Representatives, granting them massive subpoena power. They used this leverage to aggressively investigate the Trump administration, leading directly to Trump’s first impeachment inquiry. Second Term (2026): If the upcoming 2026 midterm elections result in a Democratic takeover of Congress, the script will flip back to congressional oversight targeting the Trump family's business dealings, corporate contractors, and high-level officials like Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller. Within the executive branch, Trump’s own Justice Department has already broken from historical norms by aggressively utilizing federal power to go after political foes—a dynamic expected to intensify or recalibrate depending on how the midterms shake out. --- Oh, ho!

Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 12:57 PM (E4rtv) ======== People also misunderstand wave years. 2018 was a wave year. D+9 in Congressional races. The GOP gained 2 senate seats on net. Because of where the senate races were. The shift nationally isn't felt uniformly and mostly happens in the safest enclaves of the party having the wave. CA goes from D+30 to D+40, but TX only goes from R+8 to R+6. Key senate races end up having increased turnout because of the prominence within the state, making it closer to a presidential election in those states.

Y'know, let me put some history on ya: Prior to 1964, Yasser Arafat was simply a terrorist who spoke like a medieval warlord, ranting on about massacring his enemies and being tirumphant. As a consequence of this caveman mentality, he was little-known in the West and no one sympathiZed with his cause. AND THEN some American communists traveled over there and said, "Want international support? Do this one simple trick we teach you and you will get money, weapons and cheerleading from people around the world." Sounds greatA Arafat said. What must I do? And then the commun ists introduced him to the concept of Marxism, and the post-modern "victimhood narrative." "Don't keep ranting about how you are winning, how you are supeperior, Yasser. Do the opposite: Cry in public about how you are losing and how the Jews humiliate you." Arafat: "WHAT??? I would never! That is false! We will kill all the Jews!!" But eventually his new communist handlers prevailed. ANd he adopted Marxist verbiage. And support from the West poured in. That has been the playbook ever since: Jihadism wearing the mask of Marxism.

I've added to my nightly prayers that the GOP win the mid-terms.
Something I've never prayed about before, along with massive deportations. I'd prayed for many years for evil and corruption of our government and world to be revealed. Now I add fraud to that! Lookin' at you, Somolians and Dims! We'll see but I feel a bit optimistic. Mostly because I'm rarely a pessimist in my bubble that all will be well. And it typically is well in my world as doom swirls around it in other areas. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 08, 2026 01:06 PM (hzuYO) 280

267 Remember when Chief Justice Roberts didn't show up for the impeachment?
Posted by: torabora Trials for former presidents do not come under where the Chief Justice had to preside. And had the trial resulted somehow in conviction and banning Trump from future office (which was the aim of it before the McConnell Senate GOP cohort got the wobblies from hearing from voters), would have undoubtedly ended up before Scotus for its irregularity. Impeachment has been historically viewed as a removal tool for officeholders and a trial has never been conducted after the official was no longer in office in order just to ban them.

The federal gas tax is 18.4¢/gallon, which yielded about $25 billion in 2025. That's not a small amount of money, but the economic benefit of cheaper gasoline might make up for some of that tax loss. As for the refinery crisis in America? Yes, and we should have been building them for the last 40 years, but thanks to the watermelons in almost every state, and onerous and restrictive federal regulation, building a refinery is a huge undertaking. California has been closing refineries since the 1980s, and America has lost about 10 refineries just this decade! Perhaps President Trump can nationalize the recently closed refineries in California in the interest of national security. And fast-track the expansion of existing refineries and the building of more in red states that are amenable to high-paying jobs. To be fair, American refineries have become more efficient and have expanded production significantly, so the raw number looks worse than it is. But spreading production around the country is a good idea, simply to make sabotage of our refining capacity a more complex operation. And of course the delightful bonus of stick a thumb in the eye of the rabid environmentalist left never gets old! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

It is, but even worse than that is that its construction spans enough years for a change in the national government. What is OK under the GOP is anathema under the Democrats, especially where Oil & Gas is involved. Ever since that golden-boy light-worker jerked the permit for Dakota Gas, major companies have been damned leery of accumulating hundreds of billions of dollars in sunk costs, only to have their permit jerked on a whim by the Democrat-in-office.

Nice to see Trump make that suggestion. I don't recall him saying that before, though I may have just missed it.

Trump Says He Is Considering Suspending Federal Gas Tax
Lord, I hate this sort of pandering. Either do it or don't. Stop telegraphing your punches. And who's to guarantee that the next Dem administration won't just reverse the suspension? Or, more likely, a judge will rule Trump has no authority to suspend the tax and he'll back down, just as he did with pulling the MFM passes. I hate sales tax or gas tax "holidays."

Refineries must, of necessity, be built close to their major market. They have one major input, crude oil, which can be conveniently delivered by pipeline. But their output is a wide range of motor fuel, aviation fuels, and lubricants, which mostly get get trucked or railed to their users.

... oh right, MBAs. Posted by: Helena Handbasket ====== Oil is a global market now that US oil can be sold abroad again. Fuel is not currently. But it is consistent that investment money (which is discretionary spending) will go to what the mgmt/owners/etc think will bring the highest yield. Or in bad times, not be invested at all. Contra Keynes, it is investment increase or lack thereof that drives business cycles--not consumers or government. And that is also why during Dem administrations, they shut down facilities like in CA that are running at a loss currently. You can only run a factory at a loss for so long before you close it. Future CA environmental laws kicking in made it almost impossible to run a refinery in CA so the companies figured you cannot fight City Hall and folded.

I have voted in every “major” election (presidential and mid term years) since I was old enough. And like 80-90% of off year ones. The ones I missed were mainly because I just didn’t know they were happening.
It takes at most 30 minutes for me to vote and usually more like 10 minutes. I just can’t fathom why anywhere from 30-50% of people either don’t vote or have to be begged and pleaded with to do so.

===== Both so far are not proven datapoints. If the Democrats do not turn out by EV or mail, then they are not going to turn out election day. Right now the biggest miss seems to be that pollsters are modeling likely voters by those willing to respond to pollsters rather than screening questions and background (voter histories on past voting indicate strongly whether they will vote or turnout in the present.) At least so far, the 18-29 yutes are not showing up at all in actual vote by mail or EV stats. History tells us that as time gets closer to elections, these voters are the least likely to turnout in person or even early. That screws up poll weighting for a big turnout by yutes by heavy inclusion because they answer text requests for polling. Selection bias. Ditto for older TDS types in EV, it is appears that the stage four TDS cannot wait to vote against GOP but that is a small percentage of voters. These midterms so far appear to have an older skew to them and Boomer No Kings types are voting early and responding to polls as are yutes that probably will not vote.

Posted by: NeighSayer Exactly. The United States lost approximately 1 million barrels per day of refining capacity & saw several major facility closures or conversions since 2020 due to poor economics, aging infrastructure, and changing market demands. Look up: Notable U.S. Refinery Closures and Conversions (Recent Decade) Forbes: Operable U.S. refineries dropped from about 135 in 2020 down to 130 by 2026, as companies prioritize large, low-cost Gulf Coast complexes over aging or high-cost regional plants. And the shift to "renewable" fuel: U.S. hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) renewable diesel capacity surged over the last few years, climbing past 5 billion gallons annually. The vast majority of this product flows directly to California, where state incentives (like the Low Carbon Fuel Standard) make it economically viable. But, Market Consolidation and the "RIN Cliff" - The aggressive pivot to green fuels has hit a ceiling, with saturated markets & falling profit margins.

About a year ago, I made a prediction (I don't make many, but I did make this).
I said that 2026 would be the lowest turnout and lowest spending midterm in decades. Well, it's not lowest spending. Both parties are spending a lot, but it is gearing up to be lowest turnout, the hole centered around Democrat bastions, especially in states with a modicum of election integrity built into the system. Why did I predict that? Because I figured fraud was high and that the Trump 2.0 admin was serious about hurting Democrats where they consolidated power: fraud. Fingers crossed!

I'm confused.
Should I believe the polls, which are PROJECTING anticipated data, or should I believe the party registration numbers, which are REFLECTING actual data? Posted by: Washington Nearsider Treat them as one data point amidst a host of others. Due to technological changes (scam callers have destroyed response rates), and sociological changes, people don't trust pollsters to respond, public polling as we know it is dying. Private polling, which is escalating in costs due to non response problems and the need to triangulate data--for example, they actually check voting records of respondents to see if they voted in the past or partisan skew rather than taking their word for it, and using geographic random bloc strategies to determine overall error rate, is still doing okay. But polling is getting lousy at determining just who is going to vote which is a) dependent on party/candidate turnout mechanisms for the sporadic voter class, b) the inclination of that individual voter to want to be turned out. I am excluding fraud from the equation because we have guesses about how big it is but not firm data except it almost always benefits Dems. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 11:56 AM (E4rtv) 173

Perhaps President Trump can nationalize the recently closed refineries in California in the interest of national security. And fast-track the expansion of existing refineries and the building of more in red states that are amenable to high-paying jobs.
That would be the smart thing to do. So it won't happen. Posted by: rickb223 at October 08, 2026 11:56 AM (k9rrS) 175
And it's mostly driven by Democrats voting at lower levels than 2018 while Republicans keep pace with a rather standard midterm election.
The left is burned out and doesn't care anymore. --- What are they running on? Hate Trump. It's their "repeal Obamacare" after years and multiple "attempts" failed. They've been running on this for over 10 years now--their side is completely topped out on it and the conservatives have long stopped listening to them. It's why I say their "Trump told Iran to nuke L.A. and San Diego!" is falling flat. Not just for the pathetic desperation to gin up more Trump hate, but that everyone--outside of the most loyal Dems--just do not f'ing believe or care what they say anymore.

Posted by: It's me donna at October 08, 2026 11:45 AM (TeC7T) I really don't know. The "Yes" (pro-independence) side is well-organized, and I see a great many yard signs around here. The "nos" were kind of late getting out of the starting gate, but signs are springing up now. I take that as a sign that the "nos" misread the mood of the public, and figured they had it in the bag, but have now woken up. IIRC, only about one third of the people in the original Thirteen Colonies were strongly pro-Independence. A "Yes" win in this referendum does not automatically lead to Alberta gaining independence. It directs the provincial government to begin negotiations with Ottawa towards separation. Ottawa cannot be expected to bargain in good faith. If the "Yes" vote is strong, I see the current squishy conservative leader in Alberta to be replaced by more of a firebrand. Then Ottawa does something particularly stupid and evil, and triggers a Unilateral Declaration of Independence. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 08, 2026 11:56 AM (quk5M) 177

Having refineries laying around isn't solving the problem.
Legislatively removing and writing legislation prohibiting the creation of laws, regulations and policies that would discourage investing in refineries. Why spend money on equipment that the government, for two generations has told you they deliberately and aggressively want to eliminate? Why spend hundred thousand dollars on a petrochem degree when the government has promised to keep you unemployed? Why should any vendor wish to come up with innovative new refinery equipment when no new refineries are being built and the need is only for replacement fittings? When interest rates are high, the safe money is in time-deposit, not in stocks and cap-ex. If I can get 6% in a safe time-deposit, why put money at risk for 6.5% return?

Posted by: TheJamesMadison ===== Second term midterms are a different cat than first midterms. And due to identity voting, we get a muddled signal when looking at past elections. But your assertion is historically safe that second term midterms are usually lower in turnout. That means voter mobilization of base voters versus the sporadic can lead to unpredictable swings like in 1998 depending on whose base is more motivated to turnout. I think this will be an older and whiter midterm turnout year and perhaps higher rural/suburban than urban if Ohio is predictive. Posted by: whig at October 08, 2026 12:00 PM (E4rtv) 186

Every single published public poll I have seen has talerico winning, some by as much as 9 points. That is statistically impossible here in Texas. There is no way any democrat can win a state wide election by 9 points. I saw a campaign poll released by paxton that has him winning by 4 points, that is about where I think the race will end up.

Problem is that the media that carries these polls has close to single digit belief among GOP about them. I think these are aimed at the discouraging the GOP leaners more than the base.

Data center proposed locally for a 24-acre vacant site at the former Congoleum plant.
Specs: Designed for 120 megawatts of electricity, a 3-acre electrical substation, backup gas/diesel generators, and a closed-loop cooling system. The Congoleum site is classified as an environmental cleanup site, but technically under the EPA’s RCRA Corrective Action program rather than the traditional Brownfields grant program. Heavy metals are present in both the soil and groundwater at levels exceeding residential safety standards. There's also an engineered landfill cap on-site that must remain undisturbed to prevent exposure. The land can never be used for residential purposes and strictly prohibit anyone from drilling wells or using the local groundwater for drinking. At least a Data Center brings work and eventually some permanent jobs to the area, which is not at all well off, and would pay taxes. Look at some of the sites proposed for Data Centers. They may be unusable for safe housing, schools, etc. and sit barren and of no value to a particular area.

Fun fact I learned as a docent at a historical house that had once been owned by a cobbler and served as his shop:
In the old days, there were no left or right shoes. You bought two straight shoes that would conform to your feet over time. Sounds painful, but that's the way they did it. Posted by: Bulg at October 08, 2026 09:37 AM (77rzZ) 22

What a thoroughly delightful and effective painting! The colors are soft, earthy, and comfortable. Rockwell's use of illumination from the oil lamp is brilliant. Every prop and feature is designed to emphasize a gentle, grandfatherly feel: his literal carpet slippers, cushion on the bench, his age. The contrast between the work boot he is repairing compared to the tiny doll's shoe is both poignant and humorous.
What makes the painting is the little girl's expression and posture. This is a serious matter. A doll is a real person and should be properly attired, so she brought the matter to a professional like any mother would with her child's shoe. The entire painting is sweet, nostalgic, and relaxing to view. Completely enjoyable. I recall as a kid some older ladies who decorated their homes with framed covers of Rockwell's magazine covers. It was all they could afford. They would have loved this one. Posted by: JTB at October 08, 2026 09:50 AM (yTvNw) 88

El Sayed has a problem...
In a 2012 HuffPost essay written shortly after Obama won reelection, El-Sayed — who said he had voted for him — accused the president of failing to deliver the “hope and change” that defined his 2008 campaign. “This leader has perpetuated war, violated our civil liberties, deported more people from our shores than any other president before him, and the list of his failures goes on,” he wrote. “That memory will serve not as a reminder of the history we made that night – but of the silly emotions of a naïve young man who didn’t understand that hope and change required more than flowery prose and a winning smile,” El-Sayed wrote of Obama’s first election. “I have little hope because there has been less change.” Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at October 08, 2026 09:52 AM (gLYp7) 103

Bulgar, Saw your comment about getting woozy yesterday perhaps from dehydration. I knew someone who was on border between prediabetic and diabetic. Took such great care that sometime her test strip number would suddenly drop to between 65 and 80. Suddenly woozy and weakkneed. Started to carry a sweet for emergency purposes.

Cobbler Studying Doll's Shoe
Norman Rockwell Best Normal Rockwell Art: "Cobbler Studying Doll's Shoe, this Norman Rockwell painting, appeared on the cover of The Literary Digest published April 30, 1921. This illustration was Rockwell's twenty-fifth picture featured on the cover of The Literary Digest. Rockwell artwork was featured on the cover of The Digest twelve times just in 1921. A Rockwell cover was published once a month just on this one magazine alone." ---- The detailing is wonderful, as are the models, but something about the painting is unsettling.

PSA - Fun fall trips - There are two fabulous Rockwell Museums in two beautiful places to visit.
The Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY, an affiliate of the Smithsonian. It has a diverse collection of American paintings, drawings, sculptures and photography. It also has a formal land acknowledgement: The Rockwell Museum is located on the ancestral land of the Seneca, one of the six Nations that comprise the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy. We recognize the many legacies of displacement, migration and settlement that bring us together here. 🙄 Norman Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, MA, the village & area in which the Rockwells lived. It's also more diverse in art now, i.e., Exhibit: George Herriman, Krazy Kat, and the Path to Calvin and Hobbes. It also has a village walking tour.

In the old days, there were no left or right shoes. You bought two straight shoes that would conform to your feet over time. Sounds painful, but that's the way they did it
----------- The Wong Brothers emigrated to America and decided to ply their trade making shoes in a small town that had never had its own cobbler. On their opening day the brothers had on display an array of high quality shoes in various styles, but only left shoes. The orders poured in from the local townspeople and the Wongs were busier than they had ever dreamed was possible. When the first pairs were delivered, one customer noticed first that the shoes were of excellent quality and style, but second, that both shoes were lefts. Assuming this was a mistake, the customer headed off to the cobbler's shop to get the omitted right shoe. To his surprise, he found the shop jammed with other customers, each of whom had the same complaint. Each had received two left shoes. When Mr. Wong finally appeared before the mood of the crowd was darkening. One of the customers held up his two shoes and asked angrily, "what's the big idea giving everybody two left shoes with their order?"

Speaking of movies...
Saw "A Cure for Wellness' last night. A very artsy, very loooooong horror movie by Gore Verbinski. Very pretty cinematography. Nice creepy atmosphere. Story-wise it's like a mash-up between Kafka, bergman, and those old Universal or Hammer horror films. It also has the same problem of those old horror movies in that halfway into the flick you've already figured out the entire plot (more or less) and are ready for the scares. Even so, Pally, you've got another another hour and fifteen minutes to go. So, it could easily lose 30-60 minutes with no damage. The acting ain't great. Not horrible, but they're all charisma vacuums. it's a swing and a miss. Watch if it sounds interesting to you. A better Kafka and "horror" mash-up is "Kafka" (1991) by Steven Soderbergh. Hard to find but well-worth watching, it's another one like "Revenant" (2007), that I drag out to each each Halloween season. Even Woody Allen's "Shadows and Fog" (also 1991!!!) is a better if not very good Kafka and horror mash-up. TL/DR Forget AACFW and watch Soderbergh's "Kafka" (1991).

Plymouth was the site of the colony founded in 1620 by the Mayflower Pilgrims, where New England was first established. It is the oldest municipality in New England and one of the oldest in the United States.[5] The town has served as the location of several prominent events, one of the more notable being the First Thanksgiving feast. Plymouth served as the capital of Plymouth Colony from its founding in 1620 until the colony's merger with the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691."

Dave Callum (from the "Three Bald Guys" podcast) thinks that it's going to be very difficult to convict Tyler Robinson of Charlie Kirk's murder. He says there's a lot of evidence that doesn't add up.
I think Elric may have said something similar here. We'll see. Posted by: Bulg ====== Podcasters say crap to drive audience numbers. Has little to no relation to reality nowadays. From a decent dip into prosecution evidence against Troon furry lover from pretrial, there is not reasonable doubt to me that he did it because there is a witness, video evidence, forensic evidence (DNA, etc.), provenance of the weapon, text admissions, etc. Too many people focus on ONE particular witness or bit of evidence when a trial is a summation of all the evidence provided. Thus they try to create an illusion of reasonable doubt on ONE piece of evidence arguing the logical fallacy--if one piece is false, then the whole case is false. Bullshit. It is the concatenated joint probabilities of all the evidence going on. I think this case is mainly where the defense lawyers are trying and will try to keep him from getting the death penalty rather than conviction.

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said the Republican Party should ditch President Donald Trump’s populism and “go back” to its conservative core.To a repugnant desiccated coprolite like Tillis, that means surrender to the Left and Islam, and let us lying, criminal traitorous scumbags wet our beaks in peace! If somehow the supposed Blue wave fails to materialize come the Midterms, well hopefully we won't be saddled with a fresh crop of Tillises, which means President Trump's agenda for his final two years is likely dead in the water, which would be exactly the same thing but without impeachments, or perhaps with impeachments depending upon the status of J.D. Vance, that is railroad him as well and install Mike Johnson or Hakeem Jeffries as POTUS?! If all that isn't enough to gag a maggot, I give you the following items. Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer and creator of the Substack “Abortion, Every Day,” called abortion “an affordability issue,” and contended that “you’d be hard pressed to find something more important to your financial life than whether or not to have a child, than whether or not that you’re gonna be forced into pregnancy, or not even just forced into pregnancy, but forced into massive medical debt because your pregnancy goes wrong and you can’t get an abortion.”Once again we have the Democrat/Left giving a very unsubtle green light to engage in infanticide. Postpartum by multiple trimesters! The Lindsay Clancy Social Contagion feels even more real after this latest report about a Texas mother accused of trying to murder her two small children. One child is just ten months old. The other is three years old.Well it's Texas so I'm sure if James Talarico should defeat Ken Paxton, he'll get right on this. That is make this a common occurrence! Ugh. Even with this, and in the wake of yesterday being the third anniversary of the Islamic Mass wave of butchery from Gaza which the aforementioned story is Islamic in its theme... For some reason I'm still optimistic about the future, as you can see from my posting the essay about Marco Rubio up top. Y aqui Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently traveling to Iceland, Greece, and Portugal, stood where the West was born and urged our allies to reject its decline. The imagery was stunning, but the message was more important — it's something that's been a theme throughout Rubio's time at the State Department over the last 20 months: We must maintain the values that make us great. When was the last time any real American leader spoke this way and actually meant it?! Should he, by some miracle, become President at some point in the future he will be outstanding (his baggage from his early days, in particular the Gang of 8 amnesty foolishness), and of course the opposition from the Democrat/Left and worse the Tom Tillis saboteurs of the GOP should they still be a factor. And so here's to better days, but for now I bid you all to have a good day.

I doubt that this was her first walk on the wild side -- so expect a legal fight over the admissibility of past behavior. This won't end well for her, even if Cornell settles big (paging Sally Yates!) As the weakest Ivy, Cornell will take a hit. Who'll want to go there, when there are other choices.

I think Jack Smith will not be able to claim sovereign immunity when he faces the plethora of civil lawsuits that are incoming. Each and every Senator, Congressman, government worker, and private citizen caught up in his snare should sue for federal civil rights violations under the color of law, abuse of office, blatant 4th Amendment violations, and a lawyer could probably add at least a dozen other items. Hopefully the piece of shit, Jack Smith, will spend the rest of his miserable life in court defending his actions - that or he gets to be the target in a game of prison darts with Bubba and Cletus.

It’s just so tiresome. It used to be a good place to catch up on world events and markets. The op-eds were usually fair. Now it’s 24/7 attacks on not just Trump but Republicans and anyone with traditional values who actually cares about the country. Every single story is filled with left wing bias. Their headline today is some garbage suggesting the Kim Guillfoyle took bribes or something. It’s another hit piece. Yesterday they did an hit piece on Bessent. Every single story is like that. Then they write a glowing article on Democrats, Jefferies, basically saying they are going to win the House and what a great plan they have. It’s laughable in its outright bias and obfuscation of facts. Nothing balanced on economics, it’s all gas prices are bad. The economy is teetering on disaster, etc.. Why read that- it’s not informative or true. It’s a weak ass lib attempt at propaganda. They are now part of the op. There are so many other places to get actual facts without the distortions.

Jaimee Michell @JaimeeUSA This is absolutely sickening. Coffeyeh, a coffee shop in Cedar Park, Texas, just outside Austin, is giving free lattes on October 7th to anyone who comes in wearing a keffiyeh and can tell them "what day it is." October 7th is the day Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups stormed southern Israel, killed ~1,200 people, and dragged 251 hostages into Gaza. It was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Turning the anniversary of a massacre into a coffee promo is sick.

Western Lensman @WesternLensman Keith Ellison says Republicans mean to cheat in the midterms, and people should be "ready to protest, take to the streets." "Don't act like, oh, they couldn't mean that. They mean it...So be ready to get your dukes up." "I'm one who believes in peaceful protest, First Amendment." "But if they try to take our vote away, we should absolutely be in the street. And I'll be right out there with everybody else." So the sitting Minnesota AG is casting doubts on the legitimacy of the election before a vote is counted and warning about firing up street mobilization in response. Not too long ago, this kind of rhetoric was deemed by Democrats as A Threat To Democracy -- but now it's just boilerplate Democrat.

Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer and creator of the Substack “Abortion, Every Day,” called abortion “an affordability issue,” and contended that “you’d be hard pressed to find something more important to your financial life than whether or not to have a child, than whether or not that you’re gonna be forced into pregnancy, or not even just forced into pregnancy, but forced into massive medical debt because your pregnancy goes wrong and you can’t get an abortion.”
The only forced pregnancies are from rape. That's less than 1% (I think I read) of all pregnancies in the US. There are thousands of prevention methods available that allow these whores to spread their legs anywhere they want. It really saddens me there's a faction of society that thinks they should be able to shirk responsibility by murdering a baby they willingly created by doing nothing to prevent it from happening.

Morning, all. I think the interview went well enough, but won't know for a few weeks. I think some of my other recent interviews are a better fit for me, experience and duties-wise. Still, "If this is the right one, God, let them give me a firm offer. If it is not, let them NOT give me a firm offer."
Today, back to the grindstone of job searches and crossing out all the ones that are too bad a fit to even apply for. Posted by: RandomDave at October 08, 2026 08:38 AM (aJQbY) 148

A San Francisco home has sold for nearly double its asking price, the latest example of the city’s ultra-hot luxury market.
The sprawling house at 2 Sixth Ave. closed at $15 million, $7 million over its initial $8 million asking price. It was put on the market on Sept. 17 for only the second time ever. Spanning 4,490 square feet — by most standards disqualifying it from the moniker “mansion” — the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property was built in 1914, with its original owners maintaining it for 70 years. In 1984, it sold for the first time ever to residents who lived there until now. ==== We used to live a few doors away from there before we bought our house.

Jessica Valenti, a feminist writer and creator of the Substack “Abortion, Every Day,” called abortion “an affordability issue,” and contended that “you’d be hard pressed to find something more important to your financial life than whether or not to have a child, than whether or not that you’re gonna be forced into pregnancy, or not even just forced into pregnancy, but forced into massive medical debt because your pregnancy goes wrong and you can’t get an abortion.”

Legend has it that Judge Roy Hofheinz lived in a lavish, 24-room suite within the Astrodome that he claimed was his legal homestead to protect the stadium from foreclosure or seizure for unpaid taxes under Texas law.
The Judge's Quarters, which Hofheinz occupied from 1965 to 1972, was a 24-room complex spanning up to seven floors located in the right-field stands behind the scoreboard, that cost approximately $1.5 million to build. Its eclectic, "early King Farouk" decor included a Presidential Suite with purple velvet baths and gold toilet handles reserved for Lyndon B. Johnson, a Tipsy Tavern with a slanted floor, a bowling alley, a shooting gallery, a private putting green, and conference rooms with zebra-print chairs. This apartment was dismantled and removed in 1988 to make room for additional stadium seating. Posted by: Count de Monet at October 08, 2026 09:12 AM (wVcYX) 265

My buddies and I almost always have some bet going during our rounds. Usually a $5 per person bet on every Par 3 - whoever is closest to the pin wins it all. Has to be on the green though. So if nobody hits the green, it carries over to the next Par 3. That hole becomes $10 per person - an so on. We carry it forward to the next round if necessary.

The pollsters have to make the poll results more even by October.
If they don't, the Dems leading races by 10 points might give the Dem voters the idea that they have this thing in the bag already, and then they won't show up to vote. Can't have that, so the polls get closer. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 08, 2026 09:26 AM (6ydKt) 314

CNN recently reported (Harry Enten) that GOP party registration is stronger than it's ever been, and that in swing states, it's up over any Dem gains.
For TWO YEARS, the media has told us voters are fleeing Trump to join the Dems, and polling that that same media is publishing 'confirms' that. But party registration numbers places the GOP in a stronger position than they have ever been. I wonder which are real - the polls which are projecting data or the party registrations, which are RECORDING data...

Sadly, after the midterms, Democrats will crank up their 2028 Presidential PR, and we will have to read a lot of hagiographic crap about Kamala again.

Yeah, I know about Diogenes fleecing the geezers. I was thinking of betting on pro golf. Seems like it would be harder to do than with team sports, but resourceful people will always find a way, I guess. Posted by: Bulg at October 08, 2026 09:29 AM (77rzZ) 319

>>A closer inspection allegedly uncovered 10 live birds concealed beneath the traveler’s clothing, the complaint said.
Many years ago I had a job that included providing subpoenaed service bills to law enforcement. Had a regular INS agent (pre-ICE) who was chatty, and he loved to get serious criminals on things like bird smuggling (akin to tax evasion). If they're smuggling birds, probably also smuggling drugs, etc.. Posted by: Lizzy at October 08, 2026 09:36 AM (rOKnE) 330

‘I Couldn’t Breathe’: Watch Arabs React After Screening Footage Of Hamas Slaughtering Civilians Again, heartbreaking. But couldn't those lovely, important women have seen the film and spoken out before? Did their opinions and feelings about the atrocities seen go beyond the Daily Caller, aside from venues such as this? We've sheltered generations from the reality of true, lasting evil and now it has gained a foothold once more. Posted by: L - No nic... at October 08, 2026 11:01 AM (NFX2v) 335
About 10 years ago there was a joke of asking pro-abortion people if they would support aborting the baby in the fourth trimester. They would say yes not realizing there are only three trimesters and the fourth would mean the baby is already born. Now they would still say yes, and it's not a joke anymore.
