A Haitian Woman Attacked and Then Gnawed On the Face of a Woman, Disfiguring Her Forever.
Canadian Courts Gave Her a Reduced Sentence So That This Doctor/Engineer Wouldn't Be Deported.
Seal the northern border, reduce visas for Canadians, increase tariffs to 50%, permanently.
We must insulate ourselves from this demonic nation.Woman convicted of disfiguring biting attack given reduced sentence because she's HaitianFour years is "too harsh" for eating the face of a stranger and disfiguring her for life?
Tristin Hopper: In a decision released this week, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that four years was too harsh, in part because it could possibly get her deported
I'm done with Canada. I'm done with Europe. Cut them off and leave them to rot. And it's time to consider separating some states from the US.
By Tristin Hopper A Haitian woman who disfigured a stranger in a Montreal-area biting attack has been given a reduced sentence by a Quebec judge on the grounds that a harsher prison term would endanger her "precarious immigration status."
Just two days after Christmas in 2022, Macdala Monfiston spent eight minutes viciously attacking a woman outside a bar in Laval, Que., leaving the victim with bite marks all over her arms and face. Court records described one of the facial wounds as being "several centimetres long, necessitating repeated treatments and leaving a prominent scar." Video of the assault obtained by The Journal de Montreal shows Monfiston pulling the victim's hair, kicking her motionless form on the ground and straddling her body while biting at her face. "When I tell people I was bit, they ask me what kind of animal, if it was by a pit bull. They can't believe it's a person who did this to me," the victim told the paper in a French-language interview. Although good Samaritans attempted to intervene, they were held back by Monfiston's boyfriend.
After Monfiston pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in early 2025, a Court of Quebec judge sentenced her to four years in prison -- the sentence already a fraction of the maximum 14-year sentence set for the crime under the Criminal Code. But in a decision released this week, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that four years was too harsh, in part because it could possibly get her deported.
Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, anyone jailed for longer than two years is deemed guilty of "serious criminality," and loses their appeal rights in the case of a removal order.
"The prison sentence has a much greater impact on the defendant than on other offenders who might have committed similar acts," reads the French-language decision, rendered on Sept. 14 by appeals court judges Suzanne Gagné, Christine Baudouin and Genevieve Marcotte.
Kathy Hochul's pardon travesty lifts immigrant criminals over Americans' safety By Daniel McCarthy How far will New York Gov. Kathy Hochul go to keep immigrant criminals in this country? So far she'll even pardon a man convicted of an aggravated felony, if that's what it takes to prevent the US Supreme Court from setting a restrictionist precedent. Keisy Guerrero Mariano is a Dominican who spent two years in prison for committing a violent crime -- second-degree assault. Guerrero Mariano, known as "G.M." in court documents, is exactly the sort of lawbreaker Americans overwhelmingly want to see deported. But not Hochul; she granted him clemency on Aug. 28. His case stood out from those of the other five people she pardoned that day. The others were non-violent offenders who'd committed their crimes decades ago -- two in the 1980s, two in the '90s, and just one as recently as 2007. G.M. was convicted in 2015. Yet the governor decided he merited special leniency, for political reasons. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested G.M. in 2020, intending to deport him based on his criminal record. ICE had to let him go in 2022, however, because of a nationwide injunction related to COVID that required the agency to review custody of individuals with certain medical conditions. While ICE had him, though, G.M.'s lawyers challenged the agency's right to hold him for a prolonged time without a bond hearing. That's what Hochul's pardon is really about. President Donald Trump's Justice Department planned to make the Dominican's appeals a test case before the Supreme Court -- one likely to establish that G.M. and others like him are not entitled to a bond hearing. Bond hearings are an easily exploited weakness in America's immigration security: They protract the legal process of deporting lawbreakers, while also giving them an opportunity to get out of detention temporarily -- and then permanently, by failing to show up when they're due for their next hearing. G.M. came to this country legally in 2011, but he forfeited any right to remain here once he committed a felony. Now Hochul has nullified his conviction to undercut ICE's grounds for removing him, and to collapse the appeals process that was leading to the Supreme Court -- and a probable defeat for those who want to make deportation as difficult as possible.Below, video of the horrifying biting attack by the nurse/doctor/engineer. You can see the biting going on in background. And halfway through the mauling, samaritans come by to stop it, but her boyfriend, who is also a future tech mogul on the level of Tony Stark, block people from assisting the ravaged woman so that his feral monster of a girlfriend can finish eating her face. You can't see much but it's still horrifying. You have my blessing if you want to skip it and take it as read into the record.
A Haitian woman living in Canada, with an extensive criminal background beats, stomps and bites a stranger for 8 straight minutes, leaving the victim disfigured, is given a reduced sentence of 2 years LESS A DAY, so as not to meet the 2 year threshold which would get her… https://t.co/ySqBfgZLry pic.twitter.com/5SXhSsJ4od

In a stunning political move, the chief judge of the Minneapolis federal bench disclosed the behind the scenes collaboration between all judges to thwart legal proceedings related to immigration cases this year.
Patrick Schiltz, who admitted his longtime involvement in a pro-migrant nonprofit, reveals how judges remained on their cell phones nonstop to halt deportation proceedings. And rather than evaluate each case individually—as is required—the judges developed pro forma orders (as I predicted) to immediately stop cases in their tracks.
This is something:
Schiltz: “Some judges built templates of legal orders so they could respond quickly to some of the detention issues that were arising again and again.”

Remember the reason there is a threat of deportation is that when people wrote this law they assumed you would of course just deport violent criminals.

can see two reasons covered in the article why her immigration status was considered:
1- She arrived in Canada at the age of two
2- She is a single mother of 4 Canadian citizens (3 in her custody).
Deporting people who arrived before they can form conscious memories or coherently communicate is morally dubious. Deporting someone who arrived as a baby is not the same as deporting someone who arrived voluntarily as an adult.
is kinda her own fault for not getting Canadian citizenship, she chose to remain Haitian
You know we're done for when majority of people aren't even outraged by this privileged treatment of "immigrants"

Mike Rogers to Rigged Debate "Moderator:" Drop Dead
Republican candidate for Senator from Michigan Mike Rogers has done the unthinkable and refused a debate with radical Islamic dogslayer Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed because the "moderator" is not moderate all. She's a leftist hack with a history of open partisanship on El-Sayed's behalf.
The Republican announced he will not participate in Tuesday night's FOX 2 Detroit debate, with his campaign pointing the finger squarely at moderator Roop Raj and what it describes as Raj's demonstrated history of "bias and favoritism" toward El-Sayed.Relatedly: MSNOW's hard-left political operatives -- Symone Sanders was a campaign spokeswoman for Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, so you know she's a Real Journalist (TM) -- get on Hasan Piker not about his pro-terrorism, pro-murder stances, but for not following the Democrat election-deception campaign of "moderating" his speech for 50 days to Con the Rubes."Michiganders deserve to see their candidates engage in a healthy, fair debate -- not one compromised by media bias," said Alyssa Brouillet, communications director in a statement. "Roop Raj has made his position clear, from praising Abdul as 'brilliant,' to being celebrated by Hasan Piker as 'my GOAT,' and bragging about his political stunts. Mike looks forward to making his case to working families and to making Abdul answer to voters for the conman he is."

MSNOW had Hasan Piker on their podcast with Symone Sander and Eugene Daniels. Fascinating exchange here. The legacy media hosts simply can't wrap their heads around why Piker won't shut up and/or moderate for election season. Daniels: "You've said you want to be helpful. So why do things that you know are going to be harmful? Piker: "Because if it's not me, it's something else regardless." Daniels: "You don't know that." They're talking about comments Piker made over the 9/11 anniversary. (While he still has the photo of the flaming towers on his wall here). Look at the hosts' expressions and reactions during the clip. They know he's an election liability so they are absolutely perplexed as to why Piker is going to do Piker things. The Democrat playbook demands you moderate for an election then go back to being a leftist extremist. Sanders is former campaign operative, so she especially is confounded here as someone who knows how to execute that playbook.

Paul Greengrass just released his Wat Tyler movie.
I learned that the Peasant's Revolt has been a mainstay of socialist literature for over a century, twisting the actual story of the everyman up against a feudal structure and turning it into something about capitalism.
Tracking on the film was so bad, that the distributor tried to sell it as a Robin Hood movie.
It didn't work. $3 million opening weekend.

If he's saying stuff it's because he's being *allowed* to if not outright encouraged, and no other reason.
The rest of the party gets to go hands off a little and seem moderate and sensible in comparison. Fun game they're playing.

At another point, Symone looks legitimately upset that Hasan compares Palestinian resistance to her protesting police brutality.

The comments say it all. Very clearly normie Libs, not Hasan fans, and they're eating her alive. Regular ass Democratic voters are fucking fed up with their party. Wild stuff.
And people in here were all doom and gloom because of the coordinated attacks on Hasan, not learning the lessons October 7 teached us in terms of discourse and how it can change very quickly.

I like how the lessons learned from Oct 7th have nothing to do with the victims, or even the perpetrators, but how it affected messaging and online discourse.
I think the Israelis (at t least the current government) took away the real lesson- the Palestinians will never accept a peaceful coexistence, they're a suicidal murder cult that has done nothing but try to exterminate us for the last 70+ years, and will continue for the next 70+ year. The international community is against us, and our only real ally (The US) could turn at any minute. We need to strike now and completely eradicate the Palestinians while we can.

Piker is about as Muslim as he is a Commie as he is a Progressive. He got a dog to look good to his audience because America likes dogs. He makes money in streaming while he talks up anticapitalism. He shouts about landlords while his mother has huge properties in CA. When he visits China he's Mao not Muslim. He claims to be white half the time and "brown" or "Muslim" when he needs minority status. None of it means much.

>>Just WTH is this "international community?"
The “international community” is a cheap, fraudulent myth manufactured by a global cartel of high-rent politicians, corporate predators, and defense contractors to paper over the ugly reality of global chaos. It is a cynical PR slogan designed to disguise raw, naked geopolitical greed as an elite, high-minded cocktail party.

Speed Queen makes a simple, very rugged, effective washing machine.
You can also buy Trisodium Phosphate online or at the hardware store. TSP is a chemical that used to be in all of the good laundry soaps, but the EPA banned it for that use because it can cause algae blooms. I put a couple of tablespoons of TSP in the washer with my gym clothes.
I bought a 4.5lb bag of Savogran TSP and it'll probably last me a year.

Trump beat Hillary with debate help. He was unknown she was known. And he beat her ass because he understands how people think.
He knocked Biden flat out of the race in another debate. So they matter. He hammered immigration in the Kamala debate. So don't listen to anyone who tells you they don't matter.
In this case it's good that he's not bothering. The advantage is Sayeds as the less known person.

Totally Normal Heterosexual Christian James Talarico Wants You to Know He Has a Favorite Drag Queen and He'd Like to Know Your Favorite Too
Thanks to Ed Morrissey for this horror.
Not only does he have a favorite drag queen at the ready when asked, but "she" is quite the beaut. Talarico's favorite drag queen specifically targets children. Of course "she" does.🚨 WATCH
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 14, 2026
James Talarico says his “favorite drag queen” is Alyssa Edwards — who has described himself as "a drag performer that works with children." pic.twitter.com/u5HNKh4CQt
Alyssa Edwards is the stage name of Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, a performer who has described himself as "a drag performer that works with children," and who has spent years advocating for youth drag shows. Johnson has openly discussed sharing the stage with the young dancers he trains himself. "I remember being at World Pride in New York a few years back and sharing the stage with my dance students, one of the most powerful moments of my life," he told Out magazine. In fact, the 2018 Netflix docuseries Dancing Queen featured Johnson's work with those young dancers. The Dallas Observer reported that Johnson called one 10-year-old male student his "mini-me," and that the child dressed as Johnson's drag alter ego during an episode of the show.Talarico is doing the Yasser Arafat messaging strategy of telling two completely different stories to two different audiences. For the left, he loves drag and has a favorite drag performer who targets children. But when it's time to pitch himself to moderates, he claims his prior statements were "cringey" and "missed the mark." Of course he's lying about disavowing his past statements. His own lesbian pastor says so. (And of course he has a lesbian pastor.) She reassured voters who are worried about Talarico's "moderate" messaging, telling them not to worry, Talarico is just pretending to be "moderate" "for the next 50 days," and the moment he wins, the real Talarico will be back and ready to rock out with his cock out.
Remember when Talarico professed his love for "trans children?" Do you think it's just a coincidence that his favorite drag queen is one known for working with minors? Nor is this the first time Talarico's affinity for kids in drag has surfaced. Last month, we reported that Talarico headlined a 2021 Pride Month festival in Taylor, Texas, that featured an 11-year-old boy performing as a drag queen. The event also featured pro-LGBTQ speakers, live music, a children's "drag story hour," and adult drag performers. Talarico was there, too, mingling with the crowd as if nothing depraved and predatory was going on. ... Photos from the event show Talarico chatting and posing for pictures while the boy performed a routine organizers billed as part of a "Youth Drag Show." One attendee even posted video of the child doing the splits on stage, being sexualized for the crowd.
An undercover journalist for the Daily Wire caught Rev. Babs Miller, a "minister" at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Talarico's longtime "church," on hidden camera discussing exactly what we've suspected all along. Talarico has drawn Republican criticism for his professed love for "trans children," claiming that there are seven genders, and that "God is non-binary." Miller knows who Talarico is, and isn't buying his attempt to rebrand himself. "He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following." She predicted he'd drop the act the moment he's safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, "I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was." That's the whole scam, according to the guy's own "minister." When the undercover journalist suggested Talarico simply "has to play this game" to win, Miller agreed, saying, "That's what his campaign has convinced him of." She added that the Democrat Party broadly is softening its posture on transgender issues, saying "his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50... days."
She continued, "I think it's bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay..." Because it's okay to lie if it means you get elected.

Close. He was asked who is his favorite drag queen IN TEXAS. Not nationally, or among celebrities, but he's expected to have a detailed enough knowledge of drag culture to know what states they're from.
And he had an immediate answer, because he DOES follow it that closely.

Who is fooled? No one is fooled. I thi k he has a 1% chance of winning, but if he does win, its because Texas's demographics have changed and it has been "Ccalifornicated" and been overrun with liberal douchebags.

There is a certain tenor to this that may be splitting hairs.
I never got rocky horror. The whole deal seemed silly, gay and just ... disturbing. I get making fun of movies ala Rifftrax, but the thing with Rocky Horror seemed to be a separate thing.
My point being, back in the day trannies seemed to be disturbed dudes who mostly were gay. But it was always an adult activity. Ru Paul was a good example of this. More... crossdresser than transsexual.
These days, there seems to be far more of these trannies who ONLY, desperately want access to kids.
The one aberration seems different than the other. One can be tolerated in a strong culture, the other must be ruthlessly suppressed because it is a contagious cancer.

People were calling Austin "Moscow on the Brazos" 20 years ago because it was so blue.
University of Texas is in Austin.
The UT student body is farther left than Austin.
Used to be, you could insult Austin (and UT, specifically) by calling them "teasippers."
'Cause they'd rather sip their tea with their pinkies out than fight for Texas in the Civil War.
So yeah, that's how long the people of Texas have distained Austinites.

If one answer would turn you from Talerico back to that savage Paxton, then just go with Paxton because you don't deserve anybody as good as Talarico. This is why people stop caring about Texas and Florida
He's definitely going to hurt trans people, doesn't support abolishing ice, will try as hard as possible to snatch guns. I'm so disappointed.
Newsweek: James Talarico Leads Ken Paxton With Every Pollster for First Time
Yeah, we've all seen this before -- A democrat leading the polls in a red state right up to election day, then suddenly the GOP candidate wins by thousands of votes. Democrat voters don't need to just win, they need to win so convincingly that the GOP can't plausibly tamper with the vote counts.
Especially in Texas, they are removing voter registrations and closing polling places at alarming rates simply to fuck with democratic voters.

Most AGs are just generic party members to most of the voting public.
Paxton is probably not that. He's chased the limelight as AG for years. He was the central figure of wrath by the GOP establishment in the state to the point where they impeached him. And in the lead up to that impeachment, he won by 10 points.
The baggage against Paxton is old news and bringing it up will persuade no one.

Talarico isn't winning TX. Here's an indication - Bloomberg News was one of the first outlets to promote Talarico last year, before he had aspirations to run for Senate. He hasn't been asked back lately, even though the paid commenters still talk up his candidacy.

Lemme 'plain. Rocky Horror was not a good movie. I'm not saying that it was the single worst film ever made but if it were nominated for that award I wouldn't be surprised.
The point of Rocky Horror is to go to a midnight showing with friends, shitfaced drunk, and pick up some equally drunk chicks for a night of unmemorable, and likely unremembered, sex. That's why the audience does so much shit, to take away from the fact that paid admission to an awful movie.

The story of Texas is the story of the Democrat establishment from the 80s changing uniforms when the electorate under them went hard to the other side.
It has taken decades to weed out the Republican establishment of that influence, but the Paxton impeachment failing and the Speaker of the House losing his primary in response is the beginning of the end of the shift of the politics of the TX establishment towards something more like conservatism.

Thanks, Mr? Expert. W's election as Governor was the start of the state turning red. It's still turning. Democrats used to be able to get elected in Texas because the party wasn't utterly beholden to the freak squad and the lack of the internet meant that they could hide.
Still, feel free to tell us all about your deep and extensive knowledge of Texas.

1. It was him versus Jasmine Crockett.
2. Texas Democrats are 4 factions: 1. Hispanics who have been Democrats for generations -- neighborhoods with precinct chairs that are well-organized to turn out the vote, etc. -- although they're losing men to Republicans at the ballot box; 2. Blacks (again, losing some men at the ballot box); 3. Public sector employees and their unions. Talarico is acceptable to all of those as a compromise, even if they're not enthusiastic about him. Who loves him is faction 4: Austin weirdos. He has represented an Austin district with a high weirdo percentage and has never run statewide. The Talarico act does not play well in Wichita Falls and Tyler and Brady and Conroe.

Why did Michigan Dems pick Hasan Piker's best buddy? Maine Dems pick Platner? And so on. It's a consequence of Dems learning the way to get a Democrat nomination is to go far enough left in the primary to capture the base of crazies who will go vote come hell-or-high water. Democrats don't push their registered voters to make a big turn-out for primaries. Because the local Dem Party honchos didn't want their captured union and other small groups out-voted. But their captured groups keep going farther left each election cycle. Obviously a factor they believed they could harness and tame for primaries. The best laid plans...

Paxton was elected AG 3 times. Over a dozen members of the State House lost their seats when they impeached him. 3 members of the state Supreme Court lost their seats when they decided to weigh in against him.

Do people think that polling got better between 2024 and 2026?
Remember, don't compare the polls in late summer now to the final, late October polling from 2024.
Compare the polling now to the late summer polling from 2024. When Kamala was winning every national poll by 4-8.
Hell, Ann Selzer's final poll of Iowa was off by double digits, and Selzer was the "gold standard".
Raise of hands, who thinks polling firms decided that they were going to make things better AND actually made changes that improved things?

Anyway her latest video was that the 2026 mid terms will be like the 2020 contested election because it has the same star energy or some shit.
Now the funny part I guarantee some of the 2026 election will be contested. Because Dems cheat. But she will take credit I am sure as predicting it via astrology

Months of mail in cheating wasn't enough, so they ballot box stuffed like Tammany Hall to barely get an electoral college victory for Biden.
Sure, 2026 can have the exact same energy as 2020.
I don't think it'll turn out the same, though. Because, you know, mail in voting has been massively curtailed almost everywhere and the Trump 2.0 DOJ is far more serious than the Trump 1.0 DOJ under Billy Barr or Jeff Sessions.

The Morning Rant
"He's getting some advice that I don't think he should be following." She predicted he'd drop the act the moment he's safely in office, telling the undercover journalist, "I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he'll change his tune back to where he was."What's interesting about this is that if the polls are to be believed, Talarico is leading Paxton, so his previous, longstanding and creepy lunacy about transsexualism and children and homosexuality should be a part of his seemingly winning platform. That he is shifting to a more Texas-friendly stance tells me that he isn't winning. Lying to get elected certainly isn't reserved fro Democrats. The corporate wing of the Republican Party has embraced lying for generations! Run as a conservative, then vote in Congress as a squishy accomodationist who is willing to subvert the will of the voters for financial gain. Cornyn did it for years, and the fact that Texas finally got tired of his sh*t is a signal that MAGA sensibilities are becoming more popular. What surprises me is that the Texas Democrat Party didn't dig up a moderate Democrat who could run on the archaic but successful principles that convinced America that Democrats represented the everyman. It's not true, and has never been true, but it worked for a long time, and my bet is that it would have worked in Texas against Paxton, who has shown very little skill at campaigning and communicating his platform. But the Democrat Party has been overwhelmed by the insanity of transsexualism, DEI, Critical Race Theory, overt socialism, rejection of traditional America, and a host of other sophomoric but dangerous themes. So a traditional Democrat won't get much traction. The new Democrat Party is saying the quiet part out loud, and hopefully America is listening.

While standing in front of a pink background, he tells the camera that his name means "servant leader" and that corporate money gives him "the ick.". . .
It gets worse. El-Sayed proceeds to tell viewers about his "type," his "red flags," and what he plans to bring to "Senate Island," all while repeatedly making references to Medicare for All as part of the schtick. At one point, he even declares that "nasty toes" give him the ick.

Cornyn had been doling out favors to his supporters in Texas for over 20 years and had huge support from the Thune controlled NRSC slush fund and Paxton took him down. The idea he has no support in Texas is nuts.

Be aware Karl Rove has tormented Paxton since he beat Rove's candidate Dan Branch for Texas AG in 2014. All of the bullshit insider trading accusations they tried to make against him failed.

Final Democrat Senate Primary polling had Abdul winning by double digits. He won by a single point. Nobody will ever know the impact the polls had on how many people decided not to vote but it seems likely that more than a few sat out the race thinking it was going to be a blowout.
Ignore the polls. They are designed to influence the race not report on it. Look at what's happening on the ground. Every time I try to watch a video on youtube a Talarico ad pops up begging for money.

Rogers even with Bin Laden, wins by 1

This is a misreading, I think. It's a relic of a different media environment.
Polling is somewhere between honest mistakes (response rate bias) and just outright fraud, with a shocking amount just being fraud by this point.
The electorate does not shift materially over a few months, especially not a few weeks. What happens is that progressives just are more enthused about...answering pollster phonecalls and sticking through the whole survey (many pollsters don't use responses if the respondent doesn't complete the survey all the way).
If the primary polling is any indication, we may be looking at one of the worst polling misses in the last 20 years. Polling firms are simply not getting the white working class voters at all, and they're not correcting for it.

Polling is somewhere between honest mistakes (response rate bias) and just outright fraud, with a shocking amount just being fraud by this point.
The electorate does not shift materially over a few months, especially not a few weeks. What happens is that progressives just are more enthused about...answering pollster phonecalls and sticking through the whole survey (many pollsters don't use responses if the respondent doesn't complete the survey all the way).
If the primary polling is any indication, we may be looking at one of the worst polling misses in the last 20 years. Polling firms are simply not getting the white working class voters at all, and they're not correcting for it.

Crockett won Obama levels of the black vote in the primary against Talarico.
When there's a clear racial preference in a Democrat primary, and the black choice loses, black turnout goes down in the general election.
It won't be complete collapse. The black vote won't go from 13% to 2% in Texas. But it will go from 13% to 12%.

I just don't think it's a lack of interest in politics.
Our committed partisans who obsess over politics are as numerous as theirs.
The 24/7/365 news environment is just a place where there's always going to be enough people on every side of the aisle to answer polls, to fill out the 300-400 responses a polling firm needs to cover our side.
We just have no time for an industry we've grown to despise and distrust.

I know God wins in the end.
But the Book of Revelation was written for a reason.
A lot of things in that book makes a whole lotta sense when viewed through the lens of technology.
No one buys or sells unless they have the mark can only happen when the world is so interconnected, that there is no privacy whatsoever, unless you go totally off grid, and even then, one risks being found.
IMHO, AI development kinda has to happen.
But it's a tool, and though S'tan's peeps are suing it for ill, it can also be used to spread the Gospel, thus ultimately saving lives.

I dunno. Polling seems hopeful, but polling...spit.
MN seems to be getting dragged down because of the Somali fraud stench which seems to be over the party, so we'll see.
And NH has been always a bridesmaid and never a bride at the federal level for the GOP for a while now.
The GOP's spending advantage is allowing them to put decent money into the cheaper markets there which should coincide with some GOTV efforts. So, we'll see.

The NC campaign kicked off in high gear last night with Trump doing a rally in the state with Whatley.
I've seen majority negative Cooper ads so far (and exclusively anti-Cooper mailers despite me being a registered Independent and Dolley being a registered Democrat in the state).
But, the real kickoff was last night, alongside news over the last week of PACs and other groups throwing in some solid money into the state pro-Whatley and con-Cooper.
Cooper himself is saying it's a 1-3 point race.
Should be interestin.

Was in an experimental system in junior high, programmed learning. Student goes through material at his/her own pace, takes a 'quiz' at the end of a lesson, a 'test' at the end of a chapter. In algebra, about 6 weeks into the term, one of the teachers who was supposed to be 'just answering questions' gathered the ones who hadn't got far enough and put them into a standard classroom. She added more as time went by and about 40% of the class was sitting in front of her by the end of the school year. The district ended the experiment the next year.

It would entertain me greatly if the GOP held onto NC and picked off some number of MI, GA, NH, and MN.
No one is really investing in GA on the GOP side for senate now, but that may be because the GOP candidate for governor is spending $90 million of his own money on his own race.

I saw that - that was the total cash value, not just the take from Kelce - but still... LOL.
I wish I had the connections to finance a Ponzi scheme.
Most celebrities and athletes are stupid as hell and rich as Croesus. They're the schwerpunkt for a Ponzi scheme. Rope in a a couple of big talent agents/managers, and show them 25% returns. From there, draw in their retarded clients, and really open up the sluices.
The whole time, live modestly, and at least apparently work long hours.
No luxury apartments or extravagant parties, except for wooing clients, in an official business context.
Offshore *every last penny of the stolen proceeds.*
Set a reasonable goal, say $75-100m, then ghost everyone and flee the country when you hit it, or the heat is on, whichever comes first.

Celebs do dumb things every day.
I mentioned this the other day, but apparently Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce did not have the talk, when they were engaged, about what his having to be in KC during the season actually looks like. She was on tour for most of their courtship. Now she's finding out. Apparently she does NOT want to move into her WAG football wife era, even though she could write and record music in KC. She wants to stay on the coasts and hang with her girl squad. But he can't exactly work remote for training. I wonder if she's going to push for him to retire, which if he lost $35M he might not want to. Or transfer to a team in LA or NY.

If republicans politicians in CA and nationally had any brains, they'd be hanging the Paramount Studios fleeing CA, with its like $22B in lost revenue fleeing too, squarely at the feet of Newsome and the CA democrats. Their policies caused this!

They were both fiercely pro life and pro baby, and wanted women to get the vote so they could PROTECT and have a say in their kids' lives. They would be slapping all the modern pro choice women silly right about now. The idea of a woman not protecting babies would be anathema to them.
Ok, I'm really off now! No more getting distracted. But always happy to be distracted by you, CBD!

There really aren't that many Republican politicians in California, sure there may be some on some city council here or there, but they are a vast overwhelming majority.
They have been essentially run out of California on a rail.
The people of Cali have spoken and they wany democrat governance and are prepared and willing to get it good and hard.

The Morning Report — 9/ 17 /26
If you needed another reminder why this year’s midterm elections are so important, Barack Hussein Obama II is back to make the case: Democrats intend to seize control over artificial intelligence and shape it to their advantage. . . Obama’s not against the technological reality of artificial intelligence; he just wants to make sure Democrats are in complete control of it. This is what disciples of Big Government do: They write laws, rules, and regulations that give preferred companies monopoly power within a given industry, and in return, the corporate beneficiaries of these unfair privileges do Big Government’s bidding. This is the leftist, globalist, crony-capitalist model of governance throughout the West. First, governments conjure a problem that can be used to scare the public. Then their partners in the corporate news media hammer that problem until the public demands government action. Finally, governments propose new laws that infringe upon the public’s freedoms while allocating new powers to the fearmongering governments. Scaring people until they beg for more government is how authoritarianism and totalitarianism take hold.On a separate note, and speaking of the midterm elections, I give you the madness that is the Democrat Left.
Lawrence, a former DSA member running in a swing district, made the comment during a Swarthmore College debate that also saw him endorse abortion rights 'whether you're a man or a woman or any other gender' . . . William Lawrence, the far-left Democrat nominee for a competitive House race in Michigan, called for "abolishing the institution of marriage," arguing that because it "comes from a particular religious and cultural background," it is at odds with the "separation of church and state," video footage obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.Yeah makes total sense, and from that abortion we go to the utterly repulsive on every level...
Hollywood actress, writer, and producer Lena Dunham is welcoming her first baby into the world, despite saying in the past that abortion is “a huge part of who I am.”My initial reaction after projectile vomiting trying to imagine the process of inseminating this disgusting mass of lipids was to have pity on the poor turkey baster that had to do the job. Even a Muslim rape gang would run the other way!!! Dunham is so out of the public eye that my thought was that she would only have the baby so as to arrange a live television event on inbred beady-eyed mouth breathing banjo boy Scarborough and concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov's Morning Joke wherein she could take advantage of Lindsay Clancy's notoriety and love affair/near beatification from Leftists and she could boost her career by strangling the infant to death a la Clancy with her bare hands, followed by the regular Al sharpton railing against diamond merchants and white interlopers! That's show biz, baby. And with that bit of insanity and depravity I bid you all to have a good day.

Then why did Sodomites who categorically reject the Biblical model of marriage want to be married?
All of these arguments are retarded and lies. Marriage has been an institution that has been enjoyed by all cultures since the beginning of recorded history.
The "separation of church and state" was just as invented as the "right to abortion". Up until this new invention was eisegeted into the Constitution, there was prayer in schools, Bible reading in public classrooms, ten commandments in public buildings like schools and court houses, and worshipful banners in the public square during Christmas and Good Friday/Easter. No one had a problem with it under the Constitution. Then the Leftists decided to evict God
And now the "separation of church and state" has been crushed under the integration of Islam into our government, plus Climate Cultism, Feminism and a vast myriad of other faith systems integrated and enforced by government.
Every religion is part of the State EXCEPT the one religion the United States was founded on.

Cutting rates would be inflationary at this point.
What Trump needs to do is get this Iranian situation under control.
That alone would have numerous positive knock-on effects.

And she feels that she can represent well the people she clearly hates, despises and wishes to replace with turd-world illiterate slaves.
Notice, she doesn't give any care or thought to culture, civility, traditions, human flourishing, community—she purely focuses on the work output. This by a woman who is a stranger to labor and any meaningful work. The Demonic Party slave holders then and slave holders now.
With cheap energy, its pretty easy and far more productive to use machinery to perform the stoop labor this communist wants people to perform. But she wants to ban energy, productivity and prefers sipping a wine while the slaves toil out in the sugar cane fields.

The Monticello coal fired plant near Mt. Pleasant, Texas was shut down and disassembled during the Owebama administration in a deal made with then Governor Rick Perry.
The plant sat near multiple lignite deposits that was used to fuel the facility. At the time of shutdown, it was estimated that at current consumption rates, there was a minimum of 150 years of lignite available to the plant close enough to it where trains wouldn't need to be used for transport.

Spoiler alert: That's always been the goal, which started with gay marriage. At the time of the SSM push, advocates admitted that A) gays didn't want marriage, they were just the camel's nose under the tent in redefining marriage, and B) the goal was redefine it to cover any sort of relationship (siblings, friends, whatever) to the point that it lost all meaning.
The Beyond Marriage organization laid it all out in detail, but the site has since disappeared.

They show staff knowingly waved through foreign donations—using "verification" methods you won't believe. . .
This is unreal:

It’s an interesting problem - the idea of bombing, exemplified by the B-52’s, is to take out high value targets in a modern state. Yet the Houthi are a mostly dispersed and rural population living at a relatively crude level already, without many high value targets themselves. Unless the US was going to bomb with the specific goal of eliminating as much of the civilian population as possible, bombing by itself won’t do much.
The Romans would have sent several legions and killed them all with swords, but we’re not capable of that kind of commitment today.

And it's part of the "magic dirt" theory that somehow, magically, everyone who sets foot on American soil becomes creedal, integrated, Americans; "just like my great, great granddaddy did when he came through Ellis Island!"
And those who believe a notion that was never fully true--and has been dead for well over 100 years--there's still this self-deception:
"Well, that person is doing things I like to do, and I'm a conservative--so they must be conservative too!"

Many people do. It starts when children engage in anthropomorphism with their plush toys, and adults do the same with Coca Cola polar bears.
It is why dumbasses get their selves flung in the air when they try to pet wild bison or feed feral bears.
its an underdeveloped Theory of Mind where people construct a simplistic if not childish worldview and crudely apply the template capriciously over everything they encounter.
It reduces cognitive load not to have to think about things but let the emotional projection mechanism normalize all inputs into something easily harmless and disposable.
Consider it a First World problem where we can afford to stay in a permanent Condition White ignorant of everything because someone else will deal with the complications.

Economic situation would be much graver if we were paying the money out to foreign countries for the oil. Internally, we pay more to ourselves--changes distribution of income but not wealth. Oil industry is getting a windfall and promptly investing that into new production which means jobs, investment, etc. Same with mfg.
Under the old rules where we imported a lot of oil, we paid out that money and foreigners in return bought our goods, ious, and/or both raising inflation a lot more by driving down the dollar.

"the median household income increased 2.6% to $87,460."
=======
For the most part, the reason that the margin has not moved is because of a) semi permanent welfare class, and b) importation of a bunch of poor welfare consumers/frauds from other lands which is a further disincentive for the welfare class to get jobs.
If you went back to 1960's, you would find that in that society, the elderly and the young were a big component of the poor at that time but not new immigrants because US immigration laws were restrictive. Generational welfare families were primarily only in the major urban areas.

years ago, the "Poverty Threshold" was calculated based on the cost of economy food plan x 3.
Since then, like everything else the sloven government does, is multiply the Poverty Threshold by an Inflation Adjustment.
So an arbitrary number "cost of food" established years ago in the 1960s by the Social Security Administration (since we know the food supply chain, nor what is considered enough and what kind of food hasn't evolved one bit since then) is multiplied annually by yet another political and arbitrary number and this sausage making yields the benchmark for the Poverty Line.

Passing bills that go nowhere to show 'hardworking' doesn't mean much. Likewise almost all the legislation coming from the Senate is toxic bi-partisan stuff which means Democrat provisions and poison pills that Thune allows in them to get to 60.
Legislation is not like assembly line working as it fewer and better bills are more important than a slew of crappy ones. And the crappy ones are what get shoved out the door just before elections.
House needs to get out the door and start campaigning anyway to keep a GOP House rather than entertain stupid votes to bring the troops home from Iran, impeachment of Hegseth, and other pointless theatrics so that a few GOP members can join with Democrats on passing noxious look at me bills or worse, amnesty.

The family is a fixture in AK politics. Her old man was involved in GOP politics when AK first became a state, then he stepped down from the senate to become governor. He, and Ted Stevens, another pioneer GOP senator, created the modern corrupt GOP party in AK that Palin struggled against as governor. Indians, Sovereign Welfare fund, Alaska pipeline, oil revenue, and that is what drives AK politics.
It is more like the old left coast GOP now extinct in CA, OR, and WA that was surreptitiously pretty liberal compared than the rest of the US.

F' him.
I disagree. Blanche knows exactly what the FBI was like under Comey and Wray. He was Trump's personal lawyer. I think he's doing a great job at the DOJ and deserves a lot of credit for stopping the weaponization and getting the agency back to its mission.
This is a large, complicated case against some of the highest ranking government officials. And the DOJ has to fight against a judiciary that we all see fighting us every step of the way.
Trump wants some results before November for obvious reasons. From that interview it sounds like DiGenova wanted more time. If anything it sounds like Blanche is pushing hard.

Saudi Arabia will sign the Abraham accords. It's simply too anxious and battered to not do it.
Houthis in the south. Hashd and the rest of Iran’s Iraqi file to the north and east. Missiles and drones aimed at the one thing a desert kingdom cannot replace: desalination plants, pipelines, transfer stations and the brochure called Vision 2030.
This is the Gulf habit meeting a bill. Talk well. Spend well. Freeze when the war is real. They called Washington, London, Cairo, Islamabad, Ankara. The United States is not opening another front for free. Pakistan and Turkey will not wear a war that reads as a fight with the “resistance.” Europe counts tanker rates. So the phone that still answers is Jerusalem.
Trump did the rest. He turned the Abraham Accords from a photo into a price of admission. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are not walking to that table out of sudden affection for Zion. They are crawling because the Islamic Republic’s last working proxy is sitting on Bab al-Mandab and taking shots at the kingdom’s lungs.

Top Story
- We narrowed down where Salesforce has been spending on the order of $400 million per year on AI: Either somewhere other than their login server, or on their login server, poorly. (The Register)
Because the login server fell over. And so did Salesforce.
- And so did GPT 6 Astra after getting blown up by a creeper in Minecraft. (Tom's Hardware)
I feel its pain.
Tech News
- California is sliding into the sea. (Yahoo)
About damn time.
- Mad King Matt Mullenweg is back in charge at Automattic, the company behind exploit farm WordPress. (Tech Crunch)
Apparently the ploy by the board members was to sideline the CEO, vote themselves golden parachutes when the CEO fired them in turn, and then get fired.
Speculation - and it is only speculation - is that they did this because they believe Mullenweg has steered the company onto the rocks in ongoing litigation as well as being a nutcase generally.
- Nothing lasts longer than a temporary patch. (Jake A Smith)
In this case a stopgap fix to PHP for AOL's CMS from 2014. 20 million downloads later it is finally being retired.
- Got my first application built: It's an image manipulation server to run on your local network. Feed it images or videos in any common format and tell it what to do with them, ranging from simple resizing and format conversion to compositing and drawing with arbitrarily complicated templates, and it hands the results back to you. About a 15MB binary. That's compressed, and it takes most of a second to start up, but since it's a server you start it once and then leave it running.
Of the 39 project on my list I've started on 18 so far, but this is the first where every planned feature has been checked off.

If it does dry out a little this morning, it would be a good day to wash and spray-wax the car, which includes dolling up the tires with a semi-gloss spray. In cleaning out a lot of "stuff" yesterday, I found some Rain-X gel in a tube as well as a can of their spray windshield cleaner. I could try applying that to the glass and outside mirrors.
Seems to me I heard an old hack for that, to use chewing tobacco (no, not actually chewed) and rub it over the glass so that rain detours around the coated area. Presuming that really works, I wonder if my pipe tobacco would do the same.

I need a better AI. Had to write out a five phase prompt just to get GPT 5.6 Sol to break out a request/response model out of an XSD, that had 160ish complex types, make abstraction models in a popular language and then serializers.
I gave it a head start with XSD, WSDL, CSV mapping and meta data files. It stumbled and fought through the whole thing and now looking at the output, if this was done by an intern, that intern would be fired.
I used 5.4 on previous work and had passable output, though it botched the serialization so that elements were skipped or got into endless loops. Only through lots of coaxing, examples and iterative assignments did it actually work.
GPT may be good for conversation, but Claude kicks its ass when it comes to enterprise grade work.

According to Baylor Universities own charter: (and About page)
• Train Baptist ministers and church leaders
• Educate future civic and professional leaders
• Promote Christian moral formation alongside academic learning
• Help build the institutions necessary for a growing Texas society.
By holding a rally for Screwtape on the campus of Texas' oldest university charted by the Republic that has remained in continuous operation since 1845, I would say that the current administration has completely rebuked the university's founders and original mission.
This is not by accident. Leftists corrupt every single good thing into some demonic perversion.

That is a throwback to the Boomers who also had to worry about adjusting the points and regular measuring of the spark and valve gaps.
Besides, given today's direct inject engines, no need to check oil. Either the car's engine will seize due to engineering and manufacturing defects or the vehicle will be repossessed before the first required oil change.

Drove a beat up AMC Gremlin that I bought from my brother-in-law while in college. Manual transmission. It started to not shift properly with the stick shifter hanging up and not going into the selected gear. Got under the car and noticed that the shift selector rods somehow became bowed. Wrapped wire around them and tightened with pliers. That would work for a while until the wire broke off. Switched to a hose clamp but even then I still had to get under the car on occasion to tighten the hose clamp as it would loosen up after a while.
Ah, college..

I do the same with the Buick. Sometimes I don't make 5K miles in that six months. Last interval, though, the car got up to 5400 miles, thanks to my trip to Kansas in April.
Currently the oil life monitor suggests that I could go 7000 miles before the monitor sinks to zero. Unless it was all highway driving, I don't think that's a good idea.

Response: George Jetson drove a fictional flying car, not a real-world model. It was often called the Jetson family car or Jetson’s flying car—a bubble-shaped vehicle that could fold into a briefcase. The design was reportedly inspired in part by the 1954 Ford FX-Atmos concept car.

I did that with two of my Mercedes, the '86 and the '97. The cars had drain plugs. But they had been designed to let you draw the oil out through the dipstick tube. I bought a Topsider vacuum can, which people use to change oil on maritime engines, and it drew the stuff out, all 8 quarts or 6, without issue. The oil filters were right on top. I never needed to crawl under the car.
Wouldn't work with my Buicks, though.

It depends, if you are towing every day and driving high miles, that service interval could be prudent.
7500 miles is a good middle ground.

I've been managing fleets of PCs in some form or other since 1997. The last time I ever had an issue with a Windows Update was 2002 (NT 4.0 was notoriously finicky about Service Packs). It's been at least ten years since I had a BSOD on any Windows device, and the few times it has happened it's been bad hardware.
The vast majority of the "problems" people have with Windows are bad/unsupported hardware.

Wednesday Night ONT - September 16, 2026 [TRex]
.jpg)
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.The previous inception of the Wonka brand came from materials licensed from the British author Roald Dahl. His classic 1964 children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and its film adaptations are the sources of both the packaging and the marketing styles of the Wonka brand. Dahl had licensed the "Wonka" name to film director Mel Stuart. The film's producer, David L. Wolper, convinced the Quaker Oats Company to advance $3 million to finance the film in exchange for the right to use the Wonka name to sell candy bars. Quaker, which had no previous experience in the film industry, bought the rights to the book and financed the picture to promote their new "Wonka Bar." The title of the film was changed to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory for promotional purposes.Wikipedia Now you know. One of our neighbors in a past life was in the movie. They had a framed golden ticket in their house. May be the only one I've ever seen.
Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink made a bombshell admission this morning, disclosing that there are on-orbit weapons deployed right now to protect America's interests in space. "Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats, wherever they exist," Meink said during his keynote address. "This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action." "That phrase was very well thought out. So whatever I said before is what I say again," he said when asked if he could elaborate in any way on those capabilities at a question-and-answer session immediately following his speech. "It is critically important that we maintain our dominance not only in the air, but in space, and so we've had to take steps to make sure that when we're threatened, we can take care of that."
U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency graphic The question is not whether this capability exists. The question is why it is being acknowledged and why now.

I think most of this space weaponry would be for "space to space" combat, not orbit to ground. Things like Rods from God are way too impractical -- just too damned expensive -- you've got to heave heavy payloads into orbit. Ballistic missiles are way, way cheaper.
Now, there are some possibilities for orbit to ground weapons on a smaller scale, maybe for some sort of small targeting.

The true story behind the crossing times for the cow are a bit more uncomfortable. That particular sign is just outside the home of Mavis Kelly. Mavis, as far as anyone in that town is aware, was a nice woman. Kind, considerate, organized....and someone who REALLY REALLY REALLY liked ice cream. If Mavis had a single vice it was that she was a flirt....and, also, had a tendency to break lawn furniture at picnics due to her excessive girth. BUT, that didn't stop Herman Williams from falling for the woman. He thought she was perfect...that is, until she laughed at him when he asked her out.
Turns out Herman was responsible for signs in that municipality. He worked for the county. And, Mavis either crossed the street to get her mail in the morning, or after work. Herman was a man who didn't take chances.

That gas station pic looks like late Forties-early Fifties, or maybe a little later in the latter decade. That black car looks to be that vintage. And gas stations were still using that style of pump with the big reservoir of fuel on the top, I think. I don't recall them from my kidhood in the early Sixties.
Texaco's "Sky Chief" and "Fire Chief" brands were of the Fifties. Seems I recall reading that Texaco sponosred MIlton Berle, "Mr. Television," in the early and mid-Fifties.

Those sidearms on the Soyuz have a very practical use. The Russians capsules come back on land, and there was a high possibility, if something went wrong, of landing in remote and hostile places. They did happen a time or two. It was part of the survival kits.
We always did water landings, with a big navy to recover. They do have survival kits for some contingency scenarios, but I don't what that actually entails.
Me, I'd want to carry something to the ISS if things went south with the Rooskies or something, but I'd keep it very quiet, and probably wouldn't let all the crew in on it.

Air rifle works, if feasible in your area of operations.
Rodent poison also works well for me (on the raccoons that occasionally get into my attic).
I don't believe cats would eat the baits. Don't know about dogs? I wire the baits to a joist, so the poison can't be transported out of the attic.
Perhaps you could wire some on the feeder so only RB coons could reach them?

Can you get a test for antibodies to Covid? Those are both "long covid" related issues.
There are some treatments reportedly good for dealing with Spike protein, and if you are not worried about that, try using aloe vera and DMSO on your face for the Bell's Palsy, or ask around for the best DMSO treatment for that.

One of my brothers had Bell's Palsy, a decade or so ago. I took him to ER, both us us thinking it maybe was a stroke. (Thankfully it was not!)
His face was 'lopsided' for a couple of months, but that did finally go away. I'm unaware of any meds or specific treatment-- just "wait and see" was all.

They did have survival kits, no firearms but I think they had flare guns and strobes, a little drinking water, and similar kit to what the military has for downed airmen.
Lots of cool stuff in the survival and life raft kits. Through an extraordinarily unlikely series of events, I ended up with a pen flare and a couple dozen expired cartridges. Some were duds, though most were not, and were a lot of fun.

I had Bell's Palsy a few years back. Complete recovery in due time. It's a viral nerve infection, so an Rx for an anti-viral and a corticosteroid may help a lot. They did for me. See your primary care person for treatment.
Was able to do rehab/PT exercises on my own at home (from internet search) to regain control of left side of my mouth. While recovering, the left side of my mouth would get quite chapped, so keeping Vaseline jelly handy was recommended by my primary care nurse and that helped greatly.
Good luck!

Worst part of the Bell's Palsy was not blinking my left eye for two weeks. That cornea is angry!
Doc said to put in eye drops and tape it shut. Did that, and it worked loose in five minutes. Had my wife do it, worked loose in ten minutes.
Had nurses try it while I was in the hospital for the afib, worked loose in twenty minutes.
The only good thing about this episode, is that I now know that I have the eyelid strength of 10 normal men!
Frankly, I would have picked a different superpower if God would have let me choose.

Now, it doesn't have an active transmitters or anything, and non gravitational forces will cause it to drift over time, but you can find some projections of where it should be via the orbital elements. The error in that will accumulate greatly over time.
Non-gravitational forces are stuff like solar wind, uneven heating and radiation and all that good stuff, where are significant for a small object.

I gather(?) the atrial fibrillation is not that serious of a condition in and of itself.
However, while your heart is in afib, there are some pockets in the atria with stagnant, pooling blood.
THAT is a dangerous condition. That blood will inevitably develops some clots. Clots for we 29+ year olds, lead to strokes, heart attacks, etc. depending on where the clot gets stuck.

Essentially you feed a song in, generate a score, give it the existing lyrics, and then tell it what you want and it retains melody and can push out covers in any style.
Fun stuff all local. You can also rewrite lyrics to do Weird Al type stuff - no patience for that but I can imagine the fun I would have had 20 years ago on some forums posting "song parodies" - and apparently you can also train an artist lora on a favorite artist (do it with a friend's band with his permission of course) and then generate new songs in those styles with those singers (with full artist permission of course, no one wants to mess around with copyright etc etc).

“Tea. Earl Grey. Hot” lol
Wanted to thank him, because I suppose this spurred me to try it. It’s not too bad, has a bit of orange or citrus flavor, and smooths out the natural scraped-off-bottom-of-lawnmower flavor ordinary tea has. It’s got a little caffeine kick to it.

Yes you have, and so have I. My snap reaction was that a satellite-shaped alien lifeform would be intrigued by the whole right side, ranging from titillated by the bangin' top right to disgusted by the tentacle-y bottom right. So the middle 'robotic' one would be what, scandalizing?

There never was a bottom bearing in the jacket; original design didn't need one. Well, I wanted one, and after much puttering, managed to fit in a cone-and-cup style ball bearing from a bicycle frame head, into a turned aluminum adapter sleeve. It turns freely. Connected the shaft to the steering box at the rag joint, and propped the wheel up on a bucket so the axis was true, and fabbed up a bracket to anchor the bottom of the column tube to the front bulkhead of the body. Steering wheel now sits in the same place, relative to the seat rails, as it did in the '61 Beetle. Might put a custom wheel on it later, but for now, the original one will do.

The car just to the left of the gas pump is a '49 Ford Custom. Note the exterior trunk hinges. I think '50 was the last year for that. '51 definitely had hidden trunk hinges. The low-mounted side chrome strip is consistent with '49, too.
I have a '49 Ford sitting in my yard, so I can be pretty confident of the ID.

About 15 years ago I was in Moab, UT, relaxing in a lovely wooded stream on an ungodly hot day. Sitting on the edge of the bank with my feet in the water, I was suddenly surrounded by a total school of tiny goldfish, and they start snacking away on my feet. It felt like the tiniest of nibbles, almost tickles. I had to sit as still as possible, otherwise the fish would freak and scatter. By the time I left my feet were smooth as anything.

I visited a friend a couple of weeks ago. He showed me a hunk of ammonite shell he is in the process of polishing. Lovely color in it. About a quarter of an entire shell, which would have been about 20 inches in diameter, I reckon. He has acquired an ammonite mining lease on the site where it was found. The shell material is regarded as a gem stone.

Word on the street is, only a fool would methodically launch thousands of communications satellites into stable low orbit without some of those also being guidable kinetic munitions waiting for orders to fall on someone's head. Last count is around 11,000 in orbit... and maybe each and every one of them are dual function.

One of my Manitoba Maples (aka box elder) has gone completely gold. The rest are still green. Be interesting to know what governs the differential in the time of the leaves turning. Genetics? Local temperature? Lack of, or surfeit of, water? Nutrients in soil? Disease?

Holy carp, I just did some quick googling and found this on one page:
- Peter Max suffers from advanced dementia and lives under a court-appointed guardianship amid years of bitter legal disputes regarding his care and artwork.
- Investigations revealed that as Max's mental state declined, a team of other artists created works and signed his name to them. These pieces were sold for millions of dollars at high-volume auctions on cruise ships and in galleries.
- Max's children, along with business associates and court-appointed guardians, have been locked in intense legal fights over control of his estate and his isolation from family members
- In June 2019, his wife died by suicide in her Manhattan apartment amidst the escalating family stress and public scrutiny

Elephants and Dog-Moms Cafe
Felix Thiollier (c. 1899)
People risk their lives and serious burns to rescue someone trapped inside a burning car. Man saves a dog trapped on a big slippery rock at a rapids. This puppy doesn't know what "anarchy" means but he loves it. All cats are chaos agents. Big dog wrestles with a little kid -- but gently. Soldier rescues a stray dog from a war zone and brings him home. A good example of a dog helping. Fake but amusing: the Tony Stark of warthogs. Thanks to Rocket/@rdbrewer4. World's Worst Watch-Dog plays with a break-in robber instead of barking him out.

My wife's instructions before her surgeries were pretty interesting. It specified that she had to shower twice - the night before and the morning of. Also that she had to have clean sheets the night before. Her spouse also had to shower the night before.
She pondered all this and decided that it must be MERSA or some such thing, and I tactfully suggested that it also may be caused by people who forget to bathe or change the bed linen and it's just a helpful reminder.
I didn't not mention the 500 Afghans dropped her by Biden and all the other recent arrivals. I'm sure surgical teams are not real big on b.o.

NASA announced they'd stumbled on a new crater on the Moon:
https://t.ly/FzoNQ
This new one is about 700' wide, and was produced by an impact that happened sometime in April-May 2024. The rock was about 10 - 20m wide. This in the Chelyabinsk class roughly.
Rocks of this size are below the NEO detection limits, so no idea of what it was or it's trajectory. That month window of when it hit makes using the impact angle useless for that, probably.

That crater is so new they can see a lot of immediate effects they can't with older craters. And guess what? It did stuff the crater models didn't predict, so they get some data to go back the drawing board for the modelling.
It threw ejecta at a steeper angle than predicted and "plowed up" the surrounding regolith more than predicted as well.

And another interesting one. They found evidence of wildfires in Antarctica to 90 million year ago. Back then, the Erf was well into a hothouse state, no polar ice caps at all. Antarctica was a lush jungle back then, well into the Antarctic circle.
Anyway, a sediment core from back then revealed wildfires raged. Antarctica was still connected to Australia back then, and this sediment core was just about 550 miles from the pole.
Just think about this when the idiots go on about climate change. Average yearly temp down there was in the mid 50Fs.

Used to go to South Africa a couple times a year on business. The guy who ran the distributor for our product used to take me to a game park on the weekends. Not like going on a game drive but the park he would take to drive around the animals was enormous. And the elephants were always my favorite.
The big problem then was Asian poachers who would kill the elephants for their tusks to make stupid eastern drugs. It was tragic and the local game wardens who loved the animals were powerless. Until they finally allowed them have guns to shoot back.
Killing those mostly gentle giants is a crime.

@SarahisCensored
Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn't want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.
wat
WHAT
I'm aware that weird things can happen with international marriages. A guy I knew with a foreign wife and a baby got screwed when she found out that the VAWA that Biden was so proud of would shower her with expedited citizenship and major bennies, on top of the usual cash and prizes and full custody, if she just said that he'd abused her. So she did.
(In a Morisettean irony, he was a black man with Oregon's equivalent of CPS, investigating those kinds of allegations, and she was from Africa. So he was a walking Eddie Murphy/occupational punchline, but it wasn't funny. He was one of those perfectly nice guys with endless patience and empathy. What a travesty.)
BUT. I have never heard of anything that would somehow prevent a divorce from being granted! What the actual heck?!

Being amazingly self centered makes it very difficult to be a good mom, too. If you can’t fathom putting a tiny person ahead of you, motherhood is not for you. I imagine she will have help, hopefully that person is loving.

Yes, and there's a mystery there. Way back early after earth formed, it should've been much cooler that what the evidence shows, and there's all sorts of speculation and theorizing about that.
The Sun's luminosity steadily increases at about 10% per billion years over its lifetime as it evolves on the main sequence and approaches the red giant stage.
Because of that, complex life probably has only 1 billion years left. The planet will just get too hot from the sun by then. Simple life may persist longer.

A lot of the boutique adoptions go abroad. I think the blind side was when he was in school, not a young child. But a huge cause for the lack of normal everyday adoptions of minority kids and leaving them in foster care isn't the lack of interested white parents, but a system that sabotages adoptions out of race.

No, it's out there now, which is my point. Stuff El-Sayed said ten plus years ago was out there, but it has been held back for the greatest impact. Same with the corruption.
It's like the USPS thing - Trump knew it would be lawfare'd and so he set the trap, but that was also telegraphing the USPS getting involved AFTER the election to find fraud. Think of it as an alert order for the postal inspectors.
I've been saying all along that the SAVE Act was never meant to pass before the election, it was meant to juice turnout, and it is firing up the base. Six months ago it was assumed the GOP would sleep through the election and the Dems would have all the energy. Now it's not like that at all. Like there was a plan or something.

Speaking of that, I saw something the other day, where they've got some evidence Venus did have a moon in ancient times. Because of Venus' retrograde any moon would have spiraled in, rather than out due to tidal forces, and they think that's what happened.
Venus's moon crashed into it about 2.5 billion years ago.

A wild scenario for ancient Venus is developing. They use to think Venus went into thermal runaway very long ago, but now they think it could've been temperate with liquid water for far longer.
The following is possible: Imagine Venus, with a moon, temperate with oceans. Maybe life. And then the moon spirals in, breaks up, and rains down a bombardment, melting the surface. That could easily be an event to trip it over into thermal runaway.
All that could've happened as recently as just a billion years ago. Or much earlier.

"Rogue" Juror Speaks, Plus Fresh-Baked Quick Hits
The holdout juror spoke to a YouTuber. The tweet containing video excerpts is below the fold. Here's some of what he said.
The stuff in the beginning consists of defenses against the smears the left has brought against him. If you're not following that, or you just don't care, skip to the bolded material.Sarah FieldsMore: the YouTuber who doxxed the "rogue juror" was enlisted by... Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy's defense lawyer, according to Nate the Lawyer. Apparently he has a history of stirring the shit in legal cases and Reddington texted him to take an interest in Lindsay Clancy. The New York Times: Israelis "still largely perceive themselves to be the victims" of the 10/7 terrorist attacks that killed 1,200 and included many terror-rapes, with one woman raped so badly her pelvis was broken, and of course hundreds of kidnappings, with all hostages abused and starved. That same sentence could be written, and will be written, about Americans and 9/11. Many of us still perceive ourselves of being the victims of 9/11, when the Democrat Media Party will tell you the only real victims of 9/11 were Muslims.
@SarahisCensored 🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP. The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her. He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story. Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn't want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen. The incident with the nephew - according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out. None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box "yes" and afterward had to describe what happened. He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public. Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty. The eight jurors were "activists," according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty. At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE. He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies. He's never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S. Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members. Michael stated that he believes he's being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what's happening right now, and I think that you all do as well. A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud. This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through. But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror. Link in comments
The New York Times came under fire Wednesday over a baffling passage that appeared in an article about an Israeli documentary -- which said the Jewish state "still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7." The Sept. 14 article, penned by Jerusalem-based reporter Isabel Kershner, covers the controversy over the documentary film "NAZA," which chronicles the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and just won the Special Jury Prize at this year's Venice Film Festival. ... "But Israelis still largely view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7," she continued, even citing the 1,200 civilian casualties slaughtered that day and the 250 taken hostage in what she called "the deadliest day in Israel's history" in the very same paragraph. The phrasing, and confusing juxtaposition, quickly sparked bitter outrage on social media. "No words for this abomination," CNN correspondent Scott Jennings wrote in a post on X sharing a screenshot with the offending passage highlighted, which has already garnered hundreds of angry responses and hundreds of thousands of views. "If Israel wasn't the Oct 7 victim, who does the NYTimes propose is? The mental gymnastics are at an Olympic level here," wrote one of many confused commenters. "I cancelled my subscription long ago. The NYT is just the propaganda arm of the DSA," said another, implying the Gray Lady is doing heavy lifting for the Democratic Socialists of America. "Yes, and equally curiously, Americans overwhelmingly still see themselves as the victim of 9/11. The nerve!" another commenter wrote, sarcastically.Hey I already said that, asshole.

Abdul El-Sayed Railed Against 'Disturbing' Funding for Breast Cancer Research, Said Disease Affects People With 'Social Power and Privilege'First he slaughtered the stray dogs, now he calls for cancer to be unleashed upon the puppies.

The Michigan Democrat denounced 'the Pink Ribbon Lobby' in essay published during Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Chuck Ross
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a fiery essay railed against the "breast cancer lobby" and blasted breast cancer advocacy groups for creating the impression that women were "in imminent danger" from the disease. In a 2012 essay entitled "The Pink Ribbon Lobby and Everyone Else," El-Sayed, who has a medical degree and refers to himself as "Dr. El-Sayed" in political ads, bemoaned the increase in federal funding for breast cancer research, calling it a "disturbing" trend that diverts federal funding to study other serious diseases. The culprit, according to El-Sayed, was the all-powerful "breast cancer lobby," which he also derided as the "pink ribbon lobby," a reference to the pink ribbons that commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October. "The breast cancer lobby has done an incredible job raising my 'awareness' of Breast Cancer," El-Sayed wrote for the 2x2 Project, a journal sponsored by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where El-Sayed worked as an epidemiologist. El-Sayed noted that the George Washington Bridge in New York City was adorned with pink lights and that his alma mater's football team, the Michigan Wolverines, were decked out "in pink cleats and arm bands." "If I weren't an epidemiologist, it would have me believing that the women around me were in imminent danger," said El-Sayed, who asserted that the significant funding for breast cancer created problems "for equity in health research allocation" by prioritizing funding for diseases that affect people with "social power and privilege." El-Sayed's essay relied heavily on an American Sociological Review study on the lobbying of "single-disease interest groups," in particular those dedicated to fighting breast cancer and HIV/AIDS. Curiously, El-Sayed omitted HIV/AIDS organizations from his scathing analysis, even though breast cancer killed more than three times as many Americans as HIV/AIDS in 2012. Breast cancer will afflict around 1 in 8 women in their lifetimes and is the second leading killer of women in America, after heart disease. According to one estimate, 322,000 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and 42,000 will die. But, in recent decades, breast cancer deaths have plummeted--amid advances in detection and treatment--even as the number of cases has steadily risen. El-Sayed's article raises questions about his current views of breast cancer research. El-Sayed, who last year accused Elon Musk of "gutting" cancer research at the Department of Government Efficiency, has expressed interest in serving on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which oversees the budget for the National Institutes of Health, the main source of federal funding for disease research. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), a longtime El-Sayed ally, serves as ranking member of the committee. Sanders has stirred controversy in the past over his views about breast cancer, linking the disease to "inhibited sexuality" in women. "The manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things," Sanders wrote in an essay that resurfaced during his 2020 presidential run. "How much guilt, nervousness have you imbued in your daughter with regard to sex?"
Miranda DevineIn fairness, some information may be interesting to the public but if investigators find that it is not germane to the case, they don't report it. They don't put people on blast unless there's a reason for it. People are always making a big deal that "Epstein witnesses" -- people who had almost no connection to Epstein except for him mentioning them in an email, or the like -- and jump to the conclusion that the FBI and DRUMPF!!! must be "protecting" these "Epstein witnesses," when the truth is they're not witnesses to anything and have been cleared by the FBI. Obviously I don't know what's going on here and whether or not it's germane. Why do people have such deep suspicions of the FBI?
@mirandadevine Why did it take Senator Chuck Grassley to find this new information about Thomas Crooks? Is he the only person in DC with any investigative powers? The FBI was told by the Crooks' family that an "anonymous donor" paid for the cremation. It's been more than two years. Why has that donor not been identified and questioned? Who was it, what was his/her motivation? What evidence was destroyed?
Who can say, who can say.

Oof: The Fed raised interest rates to tamp down on inflation.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday hiked rates for the first time in three years, an effort to tamp down inflation that drew a muted rebuke from President Trump as the midterms approach. In a unanimous vote, the Fed raised rates by a quarter point to the 3.75% to 4% range -- the first move in rates under Warsh, whom Trump hand-picked after lambasting predecessor Jerome Powell for years for not lowering interest rates fast enough. "The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Warsh said at a press conference following the vote. "Today's action starts to show that we're serious about this." Hours after the vote, Trump called for rates to be lowered, though he stopped short of attacking Warsh personally. "Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World -- BY FAR," the president wrote on Truth Social. "Lower the interest rates for the United States of America, and fast!" he added in all-caps.

Frightening footage captured the dramatic moment that passengers screamed in terror as their plane appeared to fall apart during a flight across Iran. The Sepehran Airlines flight had been slated to fly from Mashhad to Kermanshah Sept. 15, Jam Press reported. However, disaster struck shortly after takeoff, when the Boeing 737 suffered a mechanical failure.
In the wild clip, the aircraft is seen shaking violently, causing panels to fall from the ceiling as terrified passengers shout and pray. Meanwhile, some flyers were reportedly hit by items falling from the cargo bins, although no injuries were reported. To avert further disaster, the captain turned the aircraft around and ferried the 127 passengers back to Mashhad.
An Iranian Sepehran Airlines Boeing 737 was forced to return to Mashhad Airport after a tire reportedly burst shortly after takeoff and the aircraft suffered engine damage.

I didn't know Iran even had an airline.
I typically do look to see which airline has big problems. I only fly Delta, most of my life, an always will.
I flew any puddle jumper in college on cheap tickets with many stops from home back to the university at Christmas and in summers. That ain't going to happen again.
I did fly SW for over a decade but no more. It was fine back then.
The airline I would never fly would be, I think?, the Frontier flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Chicago during spring break. Lots of wighat pulling and twerking going on when they return from their Carnival Cruise.

Well, outside of heredity, it is caused by abortions and oral birth control pills.

I hope I’m doing this tinyurl thing right, but was going down rabbit holes of watching videos of 9/11 survivors interviewed 25 years later. I saw the thumbnail of a guy that looked really young and he’s a finance professor at A&M. He was 22 and on his second day at Morgan Stanley when tower 2 was hit. I usually don’t have the attention span for a 35 minute video but I was grabbing Kleenex throughout his retelling. If you need a story of hope, of the tenacity of Americans (the real ones) and humanity, this guy wove it altogether beautifully. Of all the ones I’ve heard over the 25 years, this was the most moving. He’s from Arkansas but Im proud TX calls him one of ours. And TAMU is lucky to have him.

Because he's anonymous.

Terrible joke Dad told us...
A plane was flying through a storm, and had engine damage...The pilot ordered the tossing of anything not bolted down, but the plane was still too heavy and was sinking...
So the pilot asked if anyone was willing to sacrifice themselves to save the passengers...
An Englishman walks up, says, "God Save the Queen!", and jumps out the plane.
The Pilot says it still wasn't enough.
A Frenchman walks up to the door, says, "Vive la France!" and jumps out...but it still isn't enough.

And Trump has been totally silent about it, in a very uncharacteristic manner. I would have thought at least an investigation that goes further than "yep, a gently sloped roof on a hot day, can't work around that, and as we all know, that prevents any of the standard interagency comms from being set up, too. This all sounds fine."

Haitian Illegal Alien Criminal and Gang Member Who Vowed He Would Never Go Back to Haiti Is Forcibly Placed on a Plane and Sent Back to Haiti
EXCLUSIVE: A Haitian gang member and illegal alien who defiantly told Fox News cameras "I'm not going back to Haiti" and shouted "Biden forever" during his viral U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest has been deported to Haiti by the Trump administration after spending 19 months in federal custody. Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles was deported on an ICE flight originating in Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News. Sources told Fox News that Charles was extremely combative aboard the aircraft and made crude, profane and threatening remarks about President Donald Trump and his family during the deportation flight.
The deportation completes a dramatic reversal from Charles' arrest in Massachusetts on Jan. 22, 2025, when Fox News cameras captured him insisting he would not be returned to Haiti. "I'm not going back to Haiti ... you feel me?" Charles said during the arrest. "F--- Trump," he added. "Biden forever bro." Fox News witnessed the arrest as ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers took Charles into custody in Massachusetts, just days after Trump returned to the White House.
DHS identifies Charles as a member of the Back Block Money Gang and says he had accumulated 17 criminal convictions. His criminal history included convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, possession with intent to distribute a Class D controlled substance, possession of controlled substances, carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying ammunition without a firearm identification card and trespassing, according to DHS. Charles remained in federal custody for approximately 19 months after his arrest as his immigration case proceeded.
... "This illegal alien gang member from Haiti had quite the rap sheet, with convictions for assault and battery on a public employee, resisting arrest, and drug trafficking, among other heinous crimes," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "He went viral for praising Biden as he was getting arrested, because he knew that the Biden Administration's open borders turned America into a paradise for criminals like him. The Trump Administration has finally done what both the Obama and Biden Administrations failed to do and deported this criminal back where he belongs."
EXCLUSIVE: Remember the Haitian illegal alien gang member who vent viral to our cameras for yelling "F**k Trump, Biden forever!" & "I'm not going back to Haiti!" during his ICE arrest in Boston last year?

Remember "clock boy" and how we were supposed to coo over that budding Einstein?
And now the left (and the Texas GOPe) are reduced to " you have to let every ethnic in from every country no matter what or you're a racist."

Her daddy was a Sudanese warlord (William Nyuon Bany) but never mind all that right now.
The western people spent just about all the 1980s crying about the lot of the south Sudanese and how they were fellow Christians being oppressed by the evil Moslems of Khartoum. And, yanno, they were.
But the south Sudanese have little gratitude for any of the West's work here. They come to Western nations and laugh at us.
I bet the Muslims in Sudan are laughing at us too. See, look, these people would enslave Muslims - and white people - given any chance, they'd say.

Haitian immigrants who had TPS were here legally, they came here legally. Having their lives turned upside down because they have brown skin is a disgusting, immoral and evil policy.
These people don’t have rights to due process, lawyers or independent judges, this after all is just a civil matter, sending them back at the border.
Disappearing without a trace, cars left abandoned on streets, apartments empty or ransacked and then marooned in dangerous countries they might not ever have been to is so very just and lawful. /s
the “just send them back” crowd doesn't care how much suffering "back" causes
They organized well enough to kick the French out. So they have the ability to work together. I don’t think this is the west’s responsibility to take them in, but we could help repatriate them back to Africa, if that’s what they wanted

When we were stationed in GITMO in 1992 when the entire country of haiti decided they would try to come to the US because they thought bush I would let them in. The Navy and Coast Guard "rescued" over 10,000 haitians trying to get to key west by anything that would float and brought them to GITMO.
When the ships would come in we offloaded and processed the haitians and sent them into a temporary camp. We also had to wash down the entire ship because they would $hit and pi$$ all over the place. You could literally smell when another ship was coming into the bay.
We built a tent city on the old runway and housed them there until we could process them to come to the US just like they hoped. That included the over 1,000 of them that were HIV positive. And yes bush I let all of them in.

Oldest was in the musical, Peter and the Starcatcher, this summer, and he had a line, "Mmmm, pork.", when he was to be sleeping, dreaming of an earlier meal of salted pork.
In an airport, we recounted this line with impeccably bad timing as we were coming up the stairs to delicious food smells, and there was a cop at the top of the stairs. He cracked wise, and we all had a good laugh explaining the backstory.

A man still on probation after being convicted last year in a fentanyl possession case has been newly charged with illegal gun possession and is accused of trafficking fentanyl and cocaine from his Uptown Minneapolis residence. However, instead of being held on a probation violation, a Gov. Tim Walz-appointed judge has released him back into the community on bail.
Garey Lavell Howze, 27, is newly charged in Hennepin County District Court with two counts of first-degree drug sales, two counts of first-degree drug possession, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Charges say Howze was under investigation this spring following reports of cocaine and fentanyl being trafficked out of the duplex where he was residing on the 3200 block of Hennepin Avenue.

It is sort of fascinating to watch.
The obvious argument for them to latch on to would be something like, "Haiti is a backwards and benighted place, but we've brought the good people, the victims, here, who just want a life like any American"
But then of course all these criminals and welfare leeches would show that to be false...

Forget the military aged part and focus on the men.
Has anyone done any investigative reporting on how the countries that have lost a significant chunk of their men are faring post exodus? If reconsidering "military aged" and assumed that there is a level of intelligence and industry to be considered of "military" caliber, has this had an effect on job markets? crime? GDP?

Hollywood Is Fake and Gay: Wolverine Is Gay, Green Lantern Only Got the Ring Because of White Privilege
I haven't bothered covering HBO's Lanterns show because, at this point, who cares.
The show is being run by woke clown no-talent Damon Lindeloff, who previously turned HBO's Watchmen series into hardcore racial agitprop with a pronounced black-cuck fetish. And the other show-runner is an extremely woke DEI black woman. If you're not a comics fan, I'll explain the Green Lantern: Hal Jordan, a fearless test pilot, was chosen as the bearer of a Green Lantern ring, which confers incredible power on the user and makes the user a member of the intergalactic super-police, the Green Lantern Corps. Basically Jedis in spandex. The Corps had previously never considered giving barbarous earthlings a power ring, but Hal Jordan was such a standout -- eventually acknowledged as the greatest Green Lantern -- that rings were given to additional earth-men, including John Stewart, a black architect. In the new woke hard-core black supremacist version of the show, John Stewart's father was considered for the ring before Hal Jordan, but was rejected from the program. They showed him something scary and asked "Are you afraid?" He answered "Yes," and they moved on to the next candidate (Hal Jordan), because it is critical that a Lantern be fearless. Later, the people who give out the rings, the Guardians, paid a visit to the Stewart family to make sure they were doing okay. John Stewart's mother launched into a Proud Black Woman lecture -- everyone take heed, a Black Woman is speaking and we are listening. She said to the intergalactic super-being, "How dare you ask a black man if he is afraid," because black people are permanently terrified in America, and then asserted, without contradiction, that Hal Jordan, having "white privilege," would of course not be afraid of anything so the whole game was rigged, as usual, against The Black Man. The writers and show-runners confirmed that this was supposed to be an accurate statement about race in America. They say the want to "start conversations," but if you tell them this is nasty racialist propaganda, they'll cancel you for your racism. Damon Lindeloff has previously shown he has some kind of gay black cuck fetish, and again shows that here. He makes a point to show John Stewart having sex with the wife of a literal white supremacist leader. And then, bizarrely, the white supremacist leader strips off his clothes and demands that John Stewart -- here an artist instead of an architect -- draw him and his naked dong. Just like the "dram me like your French girls" scene from Titanic, except gay and weird. Oh, and the show also includes a "surprising amount of naked penises." No boobs, just dicks. Showing naked women is exploitative and low-brow, showing naked dicks every half-hour is Elevated and Artistic. These are Prestige Dicks. OUT: The Male Gaze IN: The Male Gays This is a DC superhero show. Oh, and in this version of the story, John Stewart is not a colleague of Hal Jordan, but his Superior Replacement -- let's not be subtle about this, let's make it clear that black men are superior in every way-- and John Stewart beats the crap out of the man formerly considered the greatest Green Lantern in history and takes his ring from him. Oh, and in the first episode, Hal Jordan is shown to be dead and murdered later in the season. White erasure, I think they would call it. Sorry to bore you but that background is needed for this next story: the incoming regime is reportedly having "crisis" meetings to deal with the backlash over this toxic race grifting propaganda, as well as their decision to cast black actors to replace white actors in their unnecessary Harry Potter cash-grab retelling.Paramount is holding internal meetings about the growing backlash to HBO's shows, sources tell Cosmic Book News. "I heard 'meetings' are taking place to address the growing backlash to the shows," a source said. "They've spent ungodly amounts of money on Harry Potter and they plan to spend much more to promote it." The shows drawing the fire: Lanterns, HBO's Harry Potter, House of the Dragon, and now The People v. Gorilla Grodd. Paramount is in the middle of closing its $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the deal that hands the Ellisons HBO and HBO Max. "Keep it in mind when you see bots swarming your posts and everyone else dunking on HBO slop," the source said, referring to the bot accounts that swarm Cosmic Book News' own posts and social media whenever these shows come up. "The growing backlash to Lanterns, Potter, House of Dragon, and now Grodd got them worried." Some of that backlash still shows up as viewership. People tune in to see the trainwreck. The source says the studio knows that kind of watching doesn't pay. "Negative engagement might pad the ratings a bit but wrecks ancillary income channels," the source said. "Hate watching does not translate into merch sales, DVD sales, book sales, etc." ... "One thing many are missing: HBO is supposed to be 'appointment television, the home of The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, etc.,'" the source continued. "Having Grodd and Lantern Dicks be the new face of HBO is irking a lot of people." That's the network that just greenlit a mockumentary where Jimmy Tatro plays Gorilla Grodd in a practical gorilla suit. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone premieres this Christmas on HBO. Asked what the studio can do about the show at this point, the source said the window has closed. "Potter season 1 is done or very close to done," the source said. "Nothing they can do except hype up the good elements and ignore the bad casting choices." ... "It's a brand problem. And the Ellisons are paying $$$$$ for that brand," the source said. "They need that brand to be Peak TV, Emmy magnets, the home of great directors and producers. Not the brand that normies associate with whatever Lanterns is."You may remember a story from a couple of weeks ago: Comic Boon News reported, accurately, that Hal Jordan was shown dead with a bullet wound in his head in the first episode, and HBO filed a false copyright claim to suppress the story. They claimed they had a copyright over someone repeating a plot point from the show. Meanwhile, there's a Wolverine videogame that's about to be released, and yes, it is lame and gay. It's lame because it's not really a game. There are parts of the game that are supposed to be "Quick Time Events," a game mechanic which is ancient and considered lame already, but it's lamer still here, because the game will not let you fail these quick-time events. If you fail to push the buttons the game tells you to push, it just pushes them for you. It's one of those "Push W to win" games, people say -- if you just hold down the "W" button to walk forward, you automatically win, because the "game" is mostly just a movie made with CGI that you watch rather than play. And it's gay because the game's creators have decided that Wolverine's deadliest and most brutal foe, Sabertooth, is in some kind of gay chaste romance with him. They "yearn" for each other's touch. Sure, Sabertooth has been trying to murder Wolverine for 50 years, but beneath that, there is a tender longing and suppressed homosexual love.
Sabretooth Yearns For Wolverine In Insomniac's Game: "Hate And Love Are So Hand In Hand" By Patrick Scanlon The Washington Post's Marvel's Wolverine review landed at three stars, but the part getting passed around isn't the score. It's Sabretooth. Reviewer Gene Park describes a scene during an assault on a military base where Sabretooth grabs the back of Logan's head, and Park reads the moment as longing, not menace. Insomniac says that's exactly what it is. "Hate And Love Are So Hand In Hand" Narrative director Walt Williams told the Post the beat is written that way on purpose.By the way, the studio that produced this employed the services of Woke Compliance Officers "Sweet Baby Inc.," who have inserted gayness and Muh Representation into dozens of games, most of which subsequently failed. I don't know if this is their handiwork, but even if it is, it is Insomniac studios who implemented it and now proudly boast of it.
Logan feels the pull, gets scared, and backs off. Sabretooth feels the same pull, it hurts him, and he lashes out to push that hurt onto Logan. "Hate and love are so hand in hand," Williams said. He framed the rivalry as a loop: each one wounds the other, and the shared pain is what keeps them bound together. Williams is the writer behind Spec Ops: The Line, the 2012 shooter that doubled as a psychological thriller. Park's takeaway is that Insomniac left room for love inside Logan's most violent relationship.

No Lanterns Season 2 In Development, No Other DCU Projects, Says HBO Boss
But I was looking for...back in a minute...
One of the chicks writing the show should have just been told to make herself useful and go make some sandwiches because this was here woke take on things. The mom or grandma was fearless for living in a crime ridden shithole.
"In the episode, Bernadette tells Laura Linney’s Guardian that Hal gets to live without fear because he’s a white man, and asks how fair it is to ask a Black man in America if he’s afraid.
She also spends John’s entire childhood conditioning him to feel no fear, right down to lying that birds are watching him for the Guardians.
The writer’s own words cut that defense off at the knees. She doesn’t view Bernadette as wrong. She views her as the most fearless person in the story, passed over by a biased ring."

Brec was about 20 but played a pretty teenager perfectly. Her stepdad was her sidekick AND MENTOR. Yeah, the girl actually needed the guy. Fun show with Solomon Grundy AND a big giant robot.
Brec had a picture on Instagram. She's only 5'2" but she would have made a nice 'Supergirl' too.

Back when South Park still had at least a quarter of the plot, they had that episode about A Game of Thrones and this reminded me of the Weiner Chorus:

He can write and direct compelling stories, when someone else stops him from his worst impulses.
As for Green Lantern, I'm 3 episodes in...and really, all the characters are made to be generally unlikeable as they work on saving the Earth. The "nicest Mary Sue" characters in the 1st 3 episodes are probably the female sheriff and her lawyer husband (followed by John Stewart's brothers, but they have a lesser role).
So, while it's somehat anti-white, those folks are actually white and semi-redeeming.
I think the more compelling story is that he took the standard that it's the Stewart parents who had this dream for Jon to be Green Lantern b/c their dad failed. There is something compelling at watching parents be horrible to their kid in order for him to achieve their dream...and maybe his?
That's the compelling part of the backstory.

Or, is that too easy? The guy is already wearing gay clothes, and he hangs out with the maid. One of those guys is named "Little John". And, in a callback to the serial killer in "Silence of the Lambs", we have ourselves a "Friar Tuck".
Seems to me Mel Brooks didn't go far enough, and I think this a great vehicle for HBO to enlighten us with a Gay, looting, and luting, bunch of guys with sexual ambiguity who all have nicknames related to their junk. Plus, bonus, the lead character has a girl's name. King Richard becomes King Dick, and King "John" hangs out in the outhouse looking to show his dominance by railing some poor mail peasant.

Literally for cash grab reasons. When Discovery overspent to acquire Warner Bros., it took on $80 billion in debt. The CEO David Zaslav ordered the divisions to look through their libraries of IP and milk any cow that still could produce any milk at all.

Harry Potter is 1) fantasy and 2) after my time so 3) I am out of the loop on it…but…from my understanding the TV show had the potential to be even more book accurate than the movies. Hence their getting made. Note: I said HAD the potential. The castung choices are a warning of what else may have been changed, with Miss Rowling’s consent as I believe she is involved with the show.

Perverts are, after all, a natural cabal. Or several. (Gays hire guys they like, and lesbians hire chicks they like; so if not for bisexuals, they would be completely disjoint cliques.) But don't you dare notice!
The same people will then issue Dark Warnings about Orthodox Jews in Your City, and then turn around again and call it 'racism' and 'Islamophobia' to notice other religions and ethnicities with in-group preferences. They have no principles, only the pursuit of power, and the Projection Strategy works just fine for that.

I watched the spinoff of Foyle's War on PBS a new nights ago. The original show had Honeysuckle Weeks (yes, that's her name) and she was fairly hawt. However, the new show has her about 20 years older, and to put it mildly, the years have not been kind. She's got no discernible figure, and believe me, I've looked.

It's not twice the work - it's really that dad went mental and couldn't handle failure...and mom gave him the path back from failure by committing them to make dad's dream come true. It's like the worst "my kid has to live out my dreams" angle...
It makes Jon cold and generally unlikeable as well...he's lived a life that wasn't his...but his parents...and really didn't have much choice in the matter, at least as a kid...

girlfriend and I played for 6 hours. We are huge X-Men fans and we had a ton of fun tbh. I think if you like X-Men and understand that it's an alternate universe you too will enjoy it because at the end of the day, you are a cool guy with claws dismembering bigots. The floor is 7/10.
None of the complaints seem tinted wtih culture anything. The complaints seem to be focused on weak storytelling, a too linear game, and too much hand holding. the clips I've seen have backed this up. Watch the Skill Up review if you want, he's not really one for culture war stuff.
Sounds like, once again, capitalism is at fault here.
A friend of mine (I use the term lightly) has begun sending me dozens of “Wolverine has GONE WOKE” videos.
Unfortunately for these people anything even slightly mediocre has to be woven into their bullshit culture war ideology

A consulting firm called Sweet Baby Inc helped develop the script I think. They're very controversial with the gamergate crowd, because they ensure games are representative, diverse, and non-offensive.
If there's something fake and gay in a recent video game it's a solid bet Sweet Baby was involved. They are the masters of disaster.

HBO did put out a Deadwood movie a decade or so ago that did end the series a little better than a never resolved plot-line in the last season.
I enjoyed it.
Rome has gotten no such treatment.
Cancelling those two shows was kind of stupid considering the kind of crap that runs for several seasons these days.

(Checks watch).....Ummmm....aren't we overdue for a remake of one of the 40 or 50 (yes, you read that right) Robin Hood feature films?
There's been 2 this year:
The Death of Robin Hood - which turns Robin Hood into a vile, child-killing homicidal thug.
And
"The Uprising" - has Robin Hood but doesn't call him Robin Hood. They call him something like Feathercram Bottomskwertz.

I noticed a long time ago that when there is a lack or loss of talent and creativity in black entertainment products, a recurring default plot feature is showing black people beating up white people. Apparently that material practically writes itself. It it's a comedy, it's considered hilarious by the writers. If it's a drama, the writers think it's profound and just.
OK. It gets you what it gets you.

I'll tell you a secret direct from the House floor in the 80's, a lot of members have no idea what they are voting on and floor staff tells them what leadership wants to them to vote. This has been going on decades if not longer and the Senate had ga ga 80 and 90 years back then too that had to be staffers run their office.
Not too long ago before Lady Lindsay, Strom Thurmond lived in a special suite at Walter Reed Hospital and was wheeled in when needed for a vote and then promptly wheeled back out and transported back to the hospital.
And not to put too fine a point in it, there is no way that 2/3rds of each house will vote for term limits. A convention of the states can be held by 2/3rds vote but any amendment from that still has to pass 3/4 of state legislators, many of which dream of a job until death in Congress.

It keeps getting crammed in (SWIDT) for its own sake, with no relevance, no addition to the story, no advancement of the plot, nothing. By way of example, the final season of Umbrella Academy, while not the strongest writing anyway, was completely enshittified by a continuous self-insert of Ellen Page's character going tranny and reminding the audience over and over and over. It made no sense for the character and nothing to do with any part of the story at all.

The first season of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (starring Frodo Baggins) was a quirky time-travel mystery show.
Then the second season came along, expanding the bizarre worldbuilding of the first season, but also introducing a gay Romeo and Julio subplot that didn't belong in the story at all. Just because the showrunners could.
The third season was abandoned, I guess, though they did set up a third season in the second season finale.

The nominal "culture" is 100% fake and gay and does nothing for anybody. But little subcultures are springing up that thrive on either shilling for it or getting rageclicks over it.
People will eventually (if not already) stand to earn more as a career path by joining the meta-culture, and at some point the inversion will become incontrovertible and the meta-culture will become the true culture. "Shows" and "Movies" will only exist as intentional grist for the babble mills. No one will derive any amusement from the crap itself, only from watching their favorite face reacting to the crap, positively or negatively.

There's slash fiction for EVERYTHING.
In Supernatural, there's a subplot where the main characters Sam and Dean (who are brothers) discover someone's writing books about their adventures.
Then Sam discovers "slash fiction" about the Winchesters from the books.
Both Sam and Dean are quite squicked out about that ("They do know we're brothers, right?" Dean asks. "I don't think that matters," Sam replies.)

I collected the Silver Age Green Lantern comic book series when I was younger up until the early 2000s...still have them all including the first appearance of Hal Jordan in DC's "Showcase" comic book published in 1959.
So I'm pretty sure I can say with authority on the subject that this is the absolute WORST (and most offensive) adaptation of a given superhero EVER!
For anyone who is interested on how to do good superhero TV, definitely check out any of the shows from the animated DC universe that started with the Batman Animated series in the early 1990s and concluded in the mid-2000s with the excellent Justice League animated show. I'd put those shows up against any of the best TV produced (live or animated) of any era.
They were the perfect blend of entertainment for both young and older audiences with very well-written stories, excellent characterization, and terrific voice work and scoring. They clearly had folks behind them that knew the genre and how to make it both fun and serious enough for all to enjoy, with no wokeness in sight.

It's a boy's adventure medium. Always has been.
>I still have (in the original plastic covers) the issues for 'The Death of Superman' and 'The Rebirth of Superman'
Last I checked, worth about $6 each. CAD. Because everyone else did the same thing.
There are a number of plot elements in Lanterns that are startlingly similar to Hard Travelin' Heroes, the subtle-as-an-anvil Denny O'Neal political screed that not only destroyed Green Lantern as a viable property for decades, but caused DC as a whole to hard pivot away from any hint of real-world issues in their comics.
It's likely coincidence, but that doesn't make it better - it just shows that these assholes have been running the same playbook since the 1970s.

The best Silver Age Green Lantern stories were the year of exile issues, when Hal was exiled from Earth for using his ring for personal benefit and had to roam around his sector actually being a Green Lantern for once. All kinds of gonzo cosmic superhero goodness, Guardians politics, alien Lanterns. You could do that on a TV show budget with today's CGI.

Report: ActBlue Raised Illegal Foreign Money for Democrats and Then Covered It Up
In before the guy who says "nothing will happen" says "nothing will happen."
Alas, I agree. We've been watching this story for years and like all other stories about Democrat Party corruption and treasonous partnership with hostile foreign actors, nothing ever happens.Dem fundraising giant ActBlue accused of fraudulent donation 'cover-up' in explosive report
ActBlue, which is used by a litany of high-profile Dems, is accused of accepting foreign donations By Elizabeth Elkind FIRST ON FOX: A Democrat fundraising giant used by the biggest players on the left is being accused of covering up the acceptance of fraudulent political donations and lying to Congress about its security standards. Congressional Republicans are providing an update on their investigation of ActBlue -- a platform for campaigns to raise money that's used by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, among others -- that alleges the company potentially accepted foreign contributions and concealed the evidence from the GOP's probe. ActBlue has previously denied any wrongdoing. "The Committees' oversight has found that ActBlue, in its own words, decided to take 'a more lenient approach' to fraud prevention in 2024, weakening its fraud-prevention policies at least twice even though internal assessments showed that these changes would result in a measurable increase in fraudulent contributions," the report said, citing an ActBlue staff report. "Similarly, internal trainings directed ActBlue's fraud prevention team to 'look for reasons to accept contributions' rather than to examine them closely for indicators of fraud -- as required by federal regulation. ActBlue took this lax approach to fraud prevention even though it had detected at least 22 significant fraud campaigns on the platform in recent years, including several from foreign sources." Republicans accused ActBlue of accepting "illegal foreign political donations" and the "subsequent cover-up" of that information.
If you remember, ActBlue deliberately disabled its billing software's zip code check, so that foreigners could donate to Barack Obama without the system flagging these illegal donations. They're now running a similar gain. Federal law requires a passport number be included by people donating from overseas. ActBlue deliberately crippled its own system. Instead of actually checking if these were valid passport numbers belonging to US citizens entitled to donate to American politicians, ActBlue's system only checked if the string of numbers had the right number of numbers in it.
As an example,Mb< the report cited a letter by ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones to Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification. But Republicans alleged that the verification "only ensures that the entered passport number contains a certain number of characters, not that it is a valid U.S. passport number," rendering it an essentially meaningless step.They consider it a minor detail not worth looking into when an online donation comes from communist China:
The report also included excerpts purporting to show ActBlue supervisors green-lighting donations despite "red flags," including a memo lauding a donation as a "great accept" but noting, "Donor sometimes has an IP in Hong Kong, but none of their other signals raise any eyebrows." Another communication appears to show an ActBlue supervisor maintaining that a denied contribution "should have been accepted." The rest of the memo stated, "It is a foreign contribution, but the name/email match, the IP/billing match, a full address with the correct country code, and there were previously accepted and successful contributions." "The donor uses an Arkansas state code, which isn't great, but [the] system can be wonky with requiring state codes for foreign donors," the rest of the message stated.
An ActBlue supervisor also allegedly said a contribution "set off a lot of" alarms, but argued the donor should be given the "benefit of the doubt."

MAGA is a political preference, not a personality disorder or moral failing.

The ActBlue donations back then absolutely SCREAMED fraud and straw contributions. You'd see thousands and thousands of odd-number donations from obviously-bullshit names, and the total of any one "person's" contributions always conveniently fell just short of the $201 threshhold above which a name, address, occupation, etc. have to be included in the reporting.
Nobody did shit about it then, and I'm skeptical that anything will happen now.

The are defrauding the government under various programs (childcare, hospice, in home care etc.) BILLIONS....not millions....BILLIONS. A good portion of the fraudulent funds are then sent overseas. This is documented by the TSA whistleblower in Minneapolis estimated $6 Million was leaving that city via international air 3 times per week. That's just Minneapolis. Add to that Biden adding $47 Billion to those programs and taking down most of the oversight before leaving office.
That puts Billions overseas, and a portion of that comes back into the US via "donations" to ActBlu.
The Republican investigative view of this is hopelessly inadequate, and naive. And, yes ActBlu is reporting record funding for 2026. It continues.

Vance's fraud task force tagged $250 billion in fraudulent payments out the door and stopped tens of billions of it in addition to USAID and other grant cuts.
We're talking more than $100 billion in money that had formed an ecosystem that fed the left, allowed it to fester and grow unnaturally on federal monies for a while, something that seems to have been growing since Obama's second term or so.
All of that is suddenly...gone.
Hollywood makes $8 billion a year at the box office, as a point of comparison.
If 1% of that $100 billion went directly back into the DNC's pockets, that's $1 billion the party was counting on suddenly...gone. Not to mention all the sinecures lost.

They were doing something similar with overseas accounts... in addition to pulling millions from overseas donors. Illegally.

I'm having visions of a low-budget 80s teen comedy where they have to leverage their wacky skills to raise enough money to save their club or homes. I bet Beto and Talarico have seen their way around more than one One-Eyed-Willy.
Beto would do some epic skateboard stunt, maybe play guitar.
Talarico has some queer televangelist fundraiser telethon, with drag queen slutty nuns and other various depraved acts, and is about to fall short of his goal until an anonymous donor from China makes a huge donation..

I recently found out that the Salton Sea wasn't always there. California brought it into existence in 1905 when they drained the Colorado River for it. A bunch of fools made this unnatural reservoir into a resort and now, of course, it is drying up, because Saudis need the river for alfalfa.
Can't piss off them princes.
The second-wind of this place may be because there is an underground briny reservoir. This brine has lithium. So the Salton area may be able to outdo the Sauds at their own game: sell a resource for $$$ and build an artificial pleasure palace.

New Zohran Mamdani Top Advisor Literally Wrote the Book on "Gay Communism"
Okay, it wasn't a book, it was a magazine, and she didn't write it, she edited it.
So, more accurately: She literally edited the magazine by and for Gay Communists. The magazine's name? See if you can guess. What name would appeal to both left-wing gays and communists? That's right -- "Pinko" magazine, the magazine for gay communists. Jon Levine:EXCLUSIVE: Mamdani Taps 'Gay Communist' for Senior Government Role: New Adviser Called for 'Abolition of Police' and 'Undoing Capitalism,' Condemned Gandhi as 'Anti-Black Misogynist'Her? You mean "their," transphobes!
Lena Afridi, who makes $185,000 a year at City Hall, is also an editor at Pinko magazine, 'a collective for thinking gay communism' New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani named a self-proclaimed "gay communist" who has called for abolishing the police and "undoing capitalism" to a top post in his administration, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal. Lena Afridi--who uses "they/them pronouns"--deleted much of her social media history shortly before arriving at City Hall, but the Free Beacon recovered her postings. She was quietly named to a senior adviser position in the mayor's office in April 2026, drawing a hefty salary of $185,000 a year, records show. ... Multiple people in the Mamdani administration who knew Afridi told the Free Beacon they could not say what she did day to day, with one calling her a "strange person." Her portfolio appears to include supporting the city's opposition to ICE and other federal efforts to rein in so-called sanctuary cities.
All communism is communism for fags. And yes, if they can say it, I can say it too. I am not a slave and these degenerates are not my masters.
Before joining the administration, Afridi spent three years working as chief of staff for PowerSwitch Action, a nonprofit organization dedicated to "forging multiracial feminist democracy" and "grounded in breaking the interlocking chains of oppression." The group openly bragged about their involvement in violent anti-ICE riots in Minnesota in a March 2026 blog post. In addition to her government and advocacy work, Afridi is currently listed as an editor at Pinko, a magazine which describes itself as "a collective for thinking gay communism." On the masthead, she went by "L. Israh Afridi." Israh is an Arabic word for "night journey" that is sacred in Islam. Earlier website iterations of Pinko touted the magazine as "communism for fags."
"What do we mean by communism? Something like the freedom not to have to seek our lives on the market, attained through the abolition of all forms of private property, family and the state," Pinko clarified in a 2019 blog post. On X, Afridi posted multiple times about her support for "communism" and "gay communism." Like many Mamdani staffers, Afridi quietly deleted her X account, @lpafridi, in the days leading up to her appointment--but in old posts uncovered by the Free Beacon, she offered a militant and uncompromising far-left agenda. "On a personal note, outside of work: while I believe that defunding the NYPD is absolutely necessary in order to get much needed resources to the people, I *also* believe that the only way to achieve true liberation is not through reform but abolition of the police," she declared in June 2020. Afridi has not been shy about leaning into her communist bona fides, posting in September 2021 that "undoing capitalism" was the only way to stop climate change. Afridi is a close friend of Cea Weaver, the notorious top Mamdani housing official who's called home ownership "a weapon of white supremacy" and expressed a desire to "impoverish the white middle class."

It's probably been said but pretty much all of this should be laid at the feet of Sleepy Joe who jacked inflation up to 9% and let everything get expensive quickly. That inflation is now baked into the cake unless we're willing to roll the dice on an actual deflationary cycle which basically nobody is willing to do. So you can be mad about it but sitting here fuming that Trump isn't doing enough to give you cheap hamburgers isn't exactly a productive use of anyone's time.

As a rhetorical matter, we could blame the Federal Reserve chairman that the courts wouldn't let Trump fire. As a practical matter, no one else would risk a deflationary trap either, let alone induce it on purpose, but making it specific is in their own Rules for a reason. It's effective.

The left is convinced, CONVINCED, that America is only kept afloat because of immigrants.
It's also convinced, CONVINCED, that America is deeply racist, imperialistic, fascist, oligarchical, and all around evil that spreads evil capitalisms everywhere it looks because it's so powerful.
There really is a wedge here to use against the left where they become advocates for all brown people and other immigrants to voluntarily leave America to weaken it.

Death and Life in Great American Cities
To bury a loved one from Queens is to confront displacement in the here and beyond
By LENA AFRIDIMAY 20, 2019
The conclusion:
In New York, I find that we are always mourning, whether it’s people who have lost their lives or their homes due to rising rents, or the desecration and demolition of institutions that gave our communities meaning, or simply a memory of what this place once was and once gave us—immigrants, poor people, people of color, queers. Once you get to know this place, any street corner might be a memorial, any shuttered storefront could be a headstone, any turn down any block might lead you back to remembering a place or a person that no longer exists.

That sounds like it could be the setup for a fascinating conversation or an unexpected situation, depending on the context! Whether you are hanging out, debating, or just killing time, people with distinct political and social viewpoints usually have a lot of unique perspectives to share.
If you are looking for ways to navigate the situation, here are a few directions you could take:
Have a deep discussion: Ask them about how they view modern economics, community-building, or historical movements.
Find common ground: Move past labels and talk about universal topics like music, movies, food, or local news.
Keep it casual: If you aren't in the mood for a heavy political debate, you can easily steer the conversation toward lighthearted or everyday subjects

ABC News: 'I feel kidnapped': Latino immigrants say they're in legal limbo after being deported to country in Africa
Roughly 25,000 people have been deported to so-called third countries.
Ten years ago, Moreno de Armas arrived in the U.S. after fleeing Cuba. He was legally allowed into the country under a policy that permitted Cubans who reached U.S. soil to stay and pursue legal residency.
He was living in Miami with his family and working at a meatpacking plant when federal immigration authorities detained him last May. He had been trying to obtain legal status through asylum after other forms of legal relief were denied.
Some of the new destinations include Liberia, Ghana, the Central African Republic and Sierra Leone.
"We don't have a visa here or any papers, we are illegal," said Aristides Fernandez Garcia, a Cuban immigrant who was also deported. "We're prisoners here, they won't let us leave or go anywhere. Right now, even if I want to and have the means to travel to any other country, I can't."
"I feel kidnapped," Fernandez Garcia said. "They have violated all the rights that exist in life, because we are human beings."

Stay calm, avoid political topics, and leave the area immediately if you feel unsafe.
Immediate Safety Steps
Do not argue. Silence or a nod does not mean you agree. It keeps the room peaceful.
Change the subject. Talk about the weather, food, sports, or work.
Plan an exit. Look for the door. Check your phone. Make up a polite excuse to leave if you feel stressed.
How to Stay Calm
Breathe slowly. Take deep breaths to lower your heart rate.
Keep quiet. You do not need to fix their views today.
Protect your peace. Remind yourself that you can walk away at any time

For some, they probably say they are in danger if they go back to their home country, and US law (or court orders) may prevent sending then back. However, they CAN seek refuge in 3rd countries that are willing to take them. They were seeking asylum from their murderous home nation, so anywhere is an improvement they should be grateful for...right? They aren't just locust-like economic migrants.

News accounts simply note the denial was due to filing after the parole expired. A court document in his later habeas case describes his 2016 entry as “without inspection or parole,” which is somewhat at odds with the contemporaneous wet-foot/dry-foot parole descriptions in media reports; the discrepancy has not been publicly clarified in available coverage.

So, if you read between the lines, it's because he didn't come in direct from Cuba--he snuck in through a third country, maybe from MX.
So he couldn't establish when he "landed" so his application to stay was denied.

She wants all whiteys gone and wants more Muslim only cemeteries:
"At this point, New York City is home to 23 percent of the entire Muslim population living in America. However, no exclusively Muslim cemetery exists in this city, where “go home” is a familiar anti-Muslim slur. Despite our building community institutions, connections, and lives in New York, “home” doesn't exist for us here in death. Families bury their loved ones upstate, in New Jersey, and as far away as Pennsylvania. While small Muslim sections do exist in some cemeteries within the five boroughs, the demand far exceeds the supply."

Now Gandhi was a racist..until he evolved. Those damn British.
What are those f**ing people selling?
Mahmood Mamdani himself was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, in 1946—while his father was temporarily there attending college—his family's roots in East Africa run deep. His paternal grandparents were Gujarati Muslim migrants who moved to East Africa, and both of his parents were subsequently born and raised in the British territory of Tanganyika (now present-day Tanzania).
When Mahmood Mamdani was two years old, the family returned to Tanganyika before relocating permanently to Uganda a few years later, where he grew up. (Wikipedia)
(Under the British colonial system in East Africa, the social and economic structure was organized into a strict, three-tiered racial hierarchy that placed Indian immigrants in a more elite middle position above Black Africans.)
The family itself was part of "divisive power of wealth and race," as many South Asians adopted the prejudices of the colonial system.

Day-Old Quick Hits
This was intended as yesterday's quick hits, but news of Larry Kramer's potential criminal charges for perjury and obstruction of justice bumped it.
Although these Quick Hits were baked yesterday, they are still edible. Just put them under a wet paper towel and microwave them for 10 seconds.Northern BarbarianI agree. I had intended to say so in the earlier post. The left keeps threatening to pack the court 1, to make the public accept it when they do it, and 2, to in the meantime pressure the "conservative" majority to sell out to the left to forestall them from packing the court. I say we leverage the court's fear of popular backlash in our own favor. We should campaign to pack the court with six hard-core based conservatives. And then let Kavanaugh and Roberts and Coney-Barret write decisions to appease us. And look, the left is going to pack the court. This isn't just bluffing. Do we have to play the faintheart sucker forever? Can we not act decisively in our own interests, ever?
@xnoesbueno Our crazy orange president needs to announce a plan to pack the court, just like Dems keep advocating. He'll have Dems shouting that court packing is fascism, which will make for useful video clips down the road. Just post it on Truth Social. Sit back and watch heads explode, with backflips.
Kash Patel is working with Congress on legislation to ban birth tourism.
Better act quick. Chinese billionaires are basically filling up America with their clones.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday confirmed that the Trump administration was working to create legislation to target "birth tourism," the practice of traveling to the U.S. to give birth and secure citizenship for newborns. Patel made the remarks during an appearance before Senate lawmakers of the Judiciary Committee. "We are following the federal statutes that we have on the books right now, and we're working with our partners in Congress to draft new legislation to give us new authorities to make sure that we can combat the threat," he said, according to Politico.
He's creating his own horde of descendants in, as John Kerry would say, in a manner reminiscent of Jengis Khan.
A woman has discovered she is carrying a baby for reclusive Chinese gaming billionaire Xu Bo, who has allegedly fathered hundreds of children. "The agency should've been very transparent from before getting matched ... about who it is that you're having a baby for and what the family is," she told CBS News.
This superfecudity strategy is insane and should be criminalized. It's dangerous -- when you secret sire a literal Mongolian horde of children, the odds become pretty good that sons will begin marrying sisters, having no idea that they're direct blood relatives. Spain's socialist bitch Pedro Sanchez wants the cameras to see him shaking hands with an African migrant. He was probably not happy to see the cameras caught him vigorously wiping off his hand after "welcoming" the immigrant. Karl Rove signals his virtue.
The woman, whom CBS identified as "Judy" to protect her identity, made the comments in one of the first public accounts from a surrogate carrying a child for Xu.
Judy told the station she has repeatedly tried to meet the man for whom she is carrying the baby, but none have taken place. "It leaves me wondering: do I even have a right to know?" she said. Her involvement with surrogacy began after she came across an AD on Instagram. It offered $120,000 to become a surrogate. Judy, a single mom raising a seven-year-old, saw it as an opportunity to earn enough money to move into a home of her own. "I wanted to build a better life for me and my daughter," she said. Judy eventually signed an agreement with Patriot Conceptions. She said the agency described the intended parent as a single father who wanted to grow his family. The California Post reached out to Patriot Conceptions about Judy's claims. In a statement, Patriot Conceptions confirmed that they were the agency for Xu's surrogate Judy. They also clarified that they had "zero affiliation" with a separate Arcadia case featured in CBS's story. "Conflating our agency with those unrelated arrangements is materially misleading," they said. Moreover, the agency said that Xu presented himself as a "single father seeking to build a family" and that when revelations over his activities became public, they "recommended terminating the contract" with him.
... On Weibo, Xu has posted fantasies of his offspring one day marrying Musk's children, according to the Journal.
I'm done with this crew. Speaking of: Super-Conservative (TM) Tom Massie, who is definitely not a flaky closet case, has filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. He's vag-mad that the Secretary of War sometimes orders men into, um, war.
Karl Rove, former adviser to President George W. Bush and longtime Texas GOP political consultant, said he is planning to vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the state's oil and gas production. The statements come after Republican candidate Bo French published comments on X that critics called racist. The post showed a photo of students celebrating the University of Texas football game on Sunday, many of which appear non-White.
The Pentagon came out swinging on Tuesday after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., read articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the prosecution of the Iran war. Massie's articles focused on the continued involvement of U.S. forces in active fighting past the 60-day maximum, after which the White House must seek authorization from Congress. The Iran war began in late February and was subject to a nominal ceasefire for several weeks. The Trump administration previously argued that the official pause in fighting reset the clock. After Massie's remarks on the House floor, however, the Pentagon embraced a defiant tone, with press secretary Kingsley Wilson telling reporters that "Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War. Standards and merit are back, our arsenal is stronger than ever before, and morale and recruitment across every service are at all-time highs."

@UmmImagine 14h WTF???!!! This is insane! NBC made Lindsay Clancy juror Kellie Farina re-answer a question - but they left her initial response in the video! This is at the 32:08 mark in the interview, watch: Interviewer: "Do you think that she should be re-tried?"
Farina: "I would like to see her be re-tried, absolutely." Then the interviewer looks off screen and gestures to someone. Was that a signal to edit that part out because they didn't like her answer? Then she stumbles through asking the EXACT same question! Interviewer: "You think, you think, you would like she should be re- re-tried?" Then they cut to another camera shot for Farina to re-answer the question. Farina: "I would like him NOT to re-try her." What is this? They didn't even edit out Farina's initial answer which was that she WOULD like Lindsay to be re-tried! In the span of 10 seconds, you can watch Farina basically say "yes" and "no" to literally the same question. How can we believe anything these jurors say? If a juror answers a question in a way the media doesn't like they make them re-do the question with a different answer? How many other times has this happened? Fake. News. What a disgrace... Link to the interview.

The favorite sandwich of legendary Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is remarkably simple: cheese on bread -- but not just any cheese. "What is the best sandwich?" late-night television host Stephen Colbert asked Starr during a 2021 appearance on "The Late Show." "I don't have a lot of them anymore, but cheese," Starr answered. He said he loved cheese before clarifying, "But it has to be goat cheese now." When Colbert questioned his preference for goat cheese, Starr said, "I don't eat anything from the cow because the molecules are so big. Have you seen a cow? The molecules are so big. And that's why if you drink a glass of milk, you're full. With a goat, it's a good size for our bodies."Haven't I been trying to tell you guys for 20 years that the molecules in cow's milk are too big? You big dummies, you never listen to me.

1) The left claims the US matching Canadian tariffs is fascism and an affront to Canadian autonomy. What...? You can argue all tariffs are bad sure. But...the argument here is the US can't set its own trade policy AND that matching other country's trade policy is taking away their autonomy?!?
2) The left has gone all in on "billionaires are why everything is expensive" and yet Musk and Bezos (while outside of giving money to Dems) have done nothing to me. My biggest bill is taxes. I'm paying twice as much for everything vs 5 years ago because of government spending and the costs of insurance and healthcare have skyrocketed because of all the foreigners the government has brought in. Musk/Bezos did none of that.

Chocolate can take several crystalline forms. One doesn't melt so easily and is the isoform used for chocolates you buy in the store...but if you melt it and don't temper it right, you get the wrong form.

BREAKING….
Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, has federal tax liens of $2.37 million for unpaid taxes on his Marshfield mansion, according to public records on file at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds.
Reddington bought his now-assessed-at-$2.3-million estate in 2017, and has liens from the IRS dating back to 2018, through 2024.
Reddington is the public face of the free-Lindsay Clancy mob that is so outraged that the holdout juror allegedly owes $12,600 in unpaid rent, and is being evicted by his landlord in Bridgewater.
There is no record that any of the $2.37 million in IRS liens on Reddington’s property have been discharged, i.e., paid off. Reddington did not return calls seeking comment on his apparently unpaid tax debts.

Starr’s explanation about the size of the animals and their “molecules” isn’t backed by science, but there are structural differences between goat and cow milk.
Research has found that goat milk generally contains a higher proportion of smaller fat globules than cow milk and differs in its fat and protein composition.
Those differences, along with the way the proteins form curds during digestion, may affect how the two types of milk are digested.

Trump will hear the calls for relief and then will stop exporting heating oil and diesel, saving it for sales within the US for the midterms and the winter, and probably Japan and Korea.
And Europe will eat itself trying to to figure out if it wants to run an economy on windmills or Russian fuel, and Africa will continue to be Africa with even more misery and pain.

The legacy of Bitch McConnell. He had set his sights on filing the court with young, explicitly Conservative justices since the Obama era, and he does not get enough hate for it.
Obama shouldn’t have pressured Biden to let Hillary run instead in 2016. If he hadn’t, Biden probably wins in 2016 and we get a liberal majority court.
They stole a supreme court seat and used it to repeal women's healthcare and black voting rights, overturning both precedent and congress. There is no respect left for the supreme court. Democrats need to take a sledgehammer to the status quo.
The court is already packed. We need to talk about it that way.
Progressives were screaming for this back in 2021-2024 but were told we were too radical, now that Trump won and basically dominates America is when Dems decide to listen lol

Actually reducing the prices involves deflation, which the banks and big investors fear worse than fire. The Cantillionaires require inflation to keep them in the state that they have become accustomed.
So until we solve that problem you will continue to have the same inflation you have had since you were born.

"Q2 2026 Government Spending Details
Overall Impact: The decline in government outlays subtracted about 0.2 percentage points from real gross domestic product (GDP) growth.
Federal vs. State: Federal outlays contracted by 4.2%, while combined federal and state/local outlays overall pulled down the sector, driven largely by reductions in nondefense spending despite a modest 2.4% increase in defense spending."
This is after Q4 of last year saw government spending contract by 5.6% (government shutdown everyone forgot happened) and then rebound partially with +4.4% in Q1.
Everyone has said forever that the key to economic growth and restricting inflation was contracting government spending.
Well, Trump's doing that.
And no, increased energy costs because of a conflict is not inflation.

We are seeing deflation in certain sectors (rents, a bit in groceries), but most economists blame deflation for a lot of the Great Depression.
So, the fear of deflation is deep and wide in economic circles.
Trump is reacting by trying to limit inflation as much as possible (he mentioned a 1% target a while back) and increasing economic output (wage growth, etc) which is one big reason he shat on the AI pullback effort.

Our refineries are at capacity, which is a big reason gas prices are so sticky on the up side right now. When things actually do begin to cool down, demand will drop and the spreads will shrink and gas prices will fall.

I went to a store in the mail the other day to buy jeans. I know the mall so I'd be paying a premium, but with the low quality control it is hard to find a pair that actually fits so...how bad could it be? Maybe...$60? or $80?
Anyway I tried on a few pairs and found one that fit and brought it up to the register. And...$160. I asked the clerk to doublecheck...this was one pair of jeans right? And...yep that's the price.
I gave them back and walked out. I noticed the store was full of 20-30 olds shopping. I make a very good salary and that price made be say no. How the hell are these kids paying those prices?

Inflation had largely come under control by the time 2024 election season started.
I think the strongest element was immigration. Life just got worse under Biden, and it was easy (and accurate) to point the finger at the millions of new arrivals who made the country worse in a myriad of ways (including driving up prices in ways that weren't inflation by increasing the demand for everything without increasing the supply).

Its more complicated that than. Ethanol replaced MTBE—an octane increasing additive that California banned because it caused too much environmental damage.
And MTBE replaced TEL because Tetraethyl lead is considered bad for the environment too.
And the alternatives: Alkylate and Toluene, Xylene would increase the prices of fuel massively.

That might be a goal, but I expect increase in refining capacity to happen first, and then a drive to increase beef herds by redirecting corn to feedlots.
Otherwise it will get spun as "capriciously interfering with the markets" or screams about restricting access to fuel, or something like that.

Here in E. Iowa 80/20 ground beef is $5.99/lb, when it's on sale. That's what we used to pay for a choice NY Strip seven years ago. A strip is now $13.99/lb. A Porterhouse? $24.99/lb. Again, that's choice. Not even prime.
Posted by: Turn 2 at September 16, 2026 02:23 PM (QFchU)
I think the dropped tariffs and all Trump's moves were only for ground beef prices...and the prices I listed were sales, not regular prices...but there were sales which just didn't happen last year...

I thought everyone knew this already. It was common knowledge when I was a roadie (briefly) back around 1990. The pyrotechnic, electrical and sheer weight requirements for the stage show would stress all but the largest venues, so they added the "bowl of M&Ms in the dressing room, but no green ones" as a fast check on whether the contract riders had been followed to the letter. Any half-assing of those could get someone killed, so if the bowl had green M&Ms, some other candy, or wasn't there at all, the band knew they had to double-check every line of the riders to make sure the venue hadn't half-assed something dangerous.

It's probably been said but pretty much all of this should be laid at the feet of Sleepy Joe who jacked inflation up to 9% and let everything get expensive quickly. That inflation is now baked into the cake unless we're willing to roll the dice on an actual deflationary cycle which basically nobody is willing to do. So you can be mad about it but sitting here fuming that Trump isn't doing enough to give you cheap hamburgers isn't exactly a productive use of anyone's time.

As of 2026, BLM has granted 18,000 grazing permits and leases covering roughly 155 million acres.
Yet the Left fights every step of the way through environmental reviews required under federal law, litigation, staff and workload challenges within BLM offices, drought, wildfire, endangered species protections, land health concerns
All of that interferes in reasserting cattle grazing rights

01 choose the clinic and birth state first;
02 Plan travel & documents around the birth,
03 Confirm readiness before matching.
Get the order right, and paperwork never strands a newborns abroad. The consular route depends on the birth state, the parentage plan, and the document timeline. Confirm citizenship and recognition rules as a first-stage decision- then work backward to the US birth-state and clinic plan.
Every state in the US is color-coded by legal posture.
In many friendly states, parents secure legal parentage before the baby is born - the birth certification name them from day one.

BS & I don't feel bad at all for that woman.
Sell the baby to a foreign buyer program which bypasses foreign woman coming into the country for birth & birthright citizenship.
US women can simply choose to carry babies for the purpose of them automatically being US citizens and "selling" them with an air-tight legal contract to foreign buyers.
How the hell can that be stopped?!! (See TX and Cali.)

Fake News "NHL Reporter" Blasts Sydney Sweeney for Using Her Body to Sell Merch... But Of Course Previously Posted a Booby Bikini Photo to Sell "Hot Girls for Hockey" Merch
That's only the first part of this embarrassing hypocrisy.
The second part is this "reporter" doubling down and insisting that because she showed her boobies to sell merch to women, that's totes different than Sydney Sweeny using boobies to sell a gambling service to men.
Emma Lingan
@emma_lingan Sep 15 Nobody cares that Sydney Sweeney got naked. The issue is the implication that women's only value in sports is to be decoration for male consumption. Also, body shaming a hypothetical woman while pretending to defend women's choices is a pretty spectacular way to miss the point.
Colin Dunlap
@colin_dunlap Sep 15 It is genuinely exhausting how Sydney Sweeney is criticized for a photo yet if a woman 60 pounds overweight with hair 11 different colors took the same photo, the same women criticizing Sweeney would be tweeting, "YASSSSSS QUEEN!!!!!!!" x.com/emma_lingan/st...
Now someone steps in to post her own boobie sex-for-clicks photo:
Emma Lingan
@emma_lingan Sep 15 Pointing out that a sports betting company is leaning on the same tired "hot woman = male attention" formula is not telling Sweeney what to do with her body. You can support a woman's bodily autonomy and criticize how a corporation markets that body at the same time.
She tells this Racist that it's okay for a woman to exploit herself because it's empowering but not if she's exploiting herself to appeal to the (spit) Male Gaze.
Sander van Dam
@Sandervandam2 You mean like this?
Emma Lingan
@emma_lingan That post is me, a woman, advertising women's apparel to other women -- apparel literally marketed around women being hockey fans. My body isn't being used as a decorative prop to sell an unrelated product to men.
Sander van Dam
@Sandervandam2 Stop making a fool of yourself. She's half-naked and wearing a 'Hot girls like Hockey' cap to draw attention to the brand.
Proving I'm a liar and a hypocrite is just proving her point that women are sexualized in sports marketing. Including of course her own sexualization of herself in sports marketing. Do you "get it" now, Racists? Do better, anti-woman racists. #DoBetter. This racist still needs insturction:
Emma Lingan
@emma_lingan 21h The fact that I've posted a bikini photo doesn't mean I forfeited the right to criticize how women are sexualized in sports marketing. If anything, dragging up a two-year-old photo of my body instead of addressing the argument is proving the point all over again.
Derek Hunter
@derekahunter No, this was you with a promo code that probably paid you 50 percent of sales that used it. It was a money grab, plain and simple. You were the "decorative prop" for your bank account. Spin it however you like, reality isn't dependent upon your comfort level with it.
Non binary woman who uses They/Them pronouns hits out at Sydney Sweeney for nude sports campaign.

The only reason women wear bikinis is to appeal to men (or dykes).
The only reason women wear bra and panties to work out is to appeal to men.
The only reason women get breast, butt or cheek implants is to appeal to men.
The only reason women wear makeup is to appeal to men.

Dude: "You literally just said that using bodies to sell merch is bad, and yet you use a bikini pic to sell merch."

A lot of these liberal women would probably be happier if they realised this is out of their control, nobody gives a crap what they think and they should focus on things to improve their own lives.
But on the other hand, they give ace easy content and we can laugh at them.
I called out to Snowflake and her mom Starry and they came running across the street. I didn't know cats are like that. And there are two other neighbourhood cats hanging around.
If ace can get his crows together, Hadrian could supply dogs and I cats, maybe we could get an animal Blitzkreig together.

it’s the sexualization of women in sports in combination with football gambling. I don’t see what there is to be happy about it
There's been a billion other examples of sex appeal being used to market products yet Sydney Sweeney is being singled out for some reason.
Jealousy and envy by other women. That’s the why.
You can’t be my body my choice, but also your body my choice
Yeah because there’s no room for nuance so feminism means we actually gotta support all braindead gambling ads. Nobody is coming for your virginity bro you can relax
it’s somehow that she’s considered “MAGA”. That’s why everyone is acting like this is the first time an attractive woman was used in advertising. I don’t know who hates her more, other women or incels, but this hate is impressive.

In the '60s and '70s, the "youth" were the rebels, the counter-culture revolutionaries, the hip kids. Meanwhile, "conservatives" were the shriveled up old people, the unfashionable squares, the ugly prudes.
As a result, the commies used young chicks and promises of sex and "free love" and half-naked promiscuous hippie girls to lute peole into leftist thought. The Left is sexy, the right is anti-sex, went the message.
Fast-forward several decades, and OOOPS things have reversed -- not entire, but substantially.
Yes, younger people still tilt left (due to brainwashing in school), but now, within that cohort, the uglier and fatter you are, the more leftist you tend to be. Hot girls wants to preserve the cultural values that place them at the pinnacle of desirability and thus power. So the prettier and more toned you are, the more "based" you are.
So now, to a great extent, the Right is sexy, and the Left is anti-sex.
THIS is what the freakout over Sidney Sweeney is based on, at its core. The Left is realizing that they have lost their primary technique to lure in men, which now has been seized by the Right.

You have to give up the fantasy of being fitter than the fascists. It’s not just that it’s cringe or strategically bad, though it is. I think it’s also politically revealing. Fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism. Our task is not to become less disposable, to become more useful to the ruling order. What we all need to be doing is rejecting disposability in all of its forms. The point is not to beat the fascists at their own game. It is not to lay a better claim on their own territory by being fitter, more eugenic. In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think. Revolution is not a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies. The idea is fascist in and of itself.

They don't strip out all the stupid and just learn speech patterns so all this does kind of get absorbed. Although there are AIs like PHI just trained on textbooks and literature. It was interesting.
But basically, these angry chicks are just a loud minority most of the world will never hear from.
And from the Bible project I was working on I've concluded that if these chicks aren't rending their garments, they're not truly pissed, sad or upset.

This last one in the list is the only one I might disagree with. Make up and fancy hair at proms, weddings, and the like? That's not necessarily for the men, though if a man compliments her for it, great. It's often an unspoken competition between the women. Hence, the harshest criticisms of a woman's body usually come first from the woman herself, and then from those women who don't like her.
It's why mean girls cliques can drive some adolescent girls to despair, suicide, and the like. They can be quite vicious and detailed.
For Sidney, the rage against her selling her body is simply jealousy. Women like this NHL reporter know they don't look like her, that their prime (assuming they had one) is likely in the past, and they don't like that very in-your-face reminder.

I think this is half of it. The left has gone all in on Marxist anti-normalcy. If you're on the side of the revolution, you can get away with anything you want. Sweeney has famously chosen not to kiss the ring, so they consider her an enemy.
The other half is jealous women hate her for being hot. They hide their attacks in the words of the revolution (setting women back, setting women athletes back), but their primal motivation is sexual jealousy.

They want to define what is beautiful.
They want to define what’s a normal, healthy relationship.
They want to demonize whatever they have redefined as “deviant.”
As always, they want to ignore/deprogram human nature. Doesn’t matter if men have wanted to bang hot chicks since Adam and Eve. They insist we submit to their f’d up reality, because that is true power.

Sweeney's ability to get modeling contracts was supposed to end with the jeans controversy.
It would have ended that line about 4 years ago because of the monolithic nature of the woke mind virus in advertising at the time.
But not anymore.
The left will embrace woke as long as they can, but the rest of the world has moved on.

There is one more wrinkle though. They find a taxi card on the neighbor's door (Willis' business card?) and one cops says, "I found him!" So it's not attitude alone, but also the misidentification.

It is loud and like Japanese hiding on islands well after WWII, there will be holdouts but the race card, the believe all women card, and compassion cards are all overdrawn at the society bank.
The left simply cannot cancel like it did and the right has organized and started supporting its own like the holdout juror. And it makes the other jurors, albeit with their continuing help in 'explaining' themselves look like monsters.
The critical middle is tired of the BLM fraud about the criminality of the urban welfare class, tired of the pussy hatted professional activists and their silly Handmaiden tales, and tired of Muzloids that simply cannot throw over their programming to kill everyone, especially non Muslims. And on the right, it is tired of the fake and gay Massie and Co being paid by Qatar to go after the Jews. These people need to take a helicopter ride--one way ticket from Air Pinochet.
They need to go away and never come back.

Fair correction, but Bruce is complying, the other guy is not. I'd argue he's getting tazed for noncompliance rather than giving them lip.
And yes, they are crooked cops sent there to arrest Willis, they just got the wrong room because of LeeLoo and the other guy's attitude gets him tazed before they can realize their mistake.

They've been taught to regurgitate "facts" without putting forth any effort to examine the premise upon which the so-called "facts" are based.
The other effect is laziness. These women are not only too lazy to think, they also believe they don't have to put forth any effort to make themselves attractive to the opposite sex.
Which is why we get scoldilocks in a dog collar making a video complaining about Sydney Sweeney.

Peterson released her memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark, on September 21, 2021. She revealed in the book that she has been in a relationship with a woman, Teresa "T" Wierson, since 2002. They began their romantic relationship following Peterson's separation from her husband.
Peterson identifies as sexually fluid, though she also accepts "pansexual" as a label.
Peterson was a vegetarian for many years; as of 2021, she continues to maintain a "mostly vegetarian" diet[61] consisting mostly of organic food.[62] She maintains a "toned...down" regimen of yoga, pilates and physical activity for self-care, and reduced her previous heavy drinking to a more moderate level.

Wednesday Morning Rant
That article, A Defense Of License Plate Readers, tries to build a case that automatic license plate readers - "ALPR" systems - like Flock are totally fine. It highlights perfectly a now baffling appeal to trust, as well as dipping into "ends justify the means" territory and supporting it with strawmen. It starts out with the appeal to trust, right in its sub-headline:
Should we dismantle a super-valuable law enforcement tool just because it's theoretically possible to abuse it?Set aside for a moment that the risks are demonstrably not merely theoretical. The position itself is baffling. If anyone has not learned over the past decade that there is no daylight between a potential risk and a realized risk when it comes to government operations, that person is engaged in self-delusion. But the article doesn't jump right in. In traditional fashion, it starts with a harrowing tale of a violent crime where the offender was found thanks to an ALPR system. There has to be some gut-tugging pathos right up front if the reader can be expected to ignore all of the problems to follow. If it saves just one life, dotchyaknow. After the emotional hook comes the false equivalence: that this is really no different from running a plate during a traffic stop, it's just a teeny little bit broader:
... Officers routinely consult computer-aided dispatch records; driver and vehicle databases; the National Crime Information Center (NCIC); the Interstate Identification Index (III); and various local, state, and regional intelligence systems. These resources allow officers to perform a wide array of investigative tasks. Officers routinely use them to identify wanted persons, locate stolen property, review criminal histories, and share intelligence with other agencies. An ALPR database performs a very similar function. At its most basic level, it records that a publicly displayed license plate, attached to a particular vehicle, passed a particular location at a particular time. ... Thus, consulting an ALPR database is not fundamentally different from querying a license plate or driver's license during a traffic stop or checking a suspect for warrants. Each task involves access to information for a legitimate law enforcement purpose. ...Sure. Pull the other one. It jingles. These things are obviously not the same. One usually involves a traffic stop or, at least, human effort. That requires either a reason to engage in the query (the traffic stop) or enough desire to manually collect and run license plate numbers. Throwing out acronyms and drawing false equivalencies doesn't help the argument, but it does help confuse the issue - and so the tactic is useful. Much later in the article comes the acknowledgment that these things are in fact different, but with an assertion that the difference should be ignored and can be obviated through arbitrary distinctions:
A routine license plate check begins with a vehicle that is already encountered by an officer. By contrast, ALPR cameras automatically collect the plate information of all vehicles that pass by. A network of cameras can then assemble those observations much more efficiently than individual officers watching traffic. One concern that has been expressed is that ALPRs can be used to reconstruct one's location and activity history. This is a legitimate concern, and the solution is to adopt rules suited to the scale to which an ALPR system is used. Although a single ALPR hit is not the same thing as GPS tracking, broad or prolonged tracking should require a higher level of approval. In some cases, warrants should be required. However, short-term searches for a stolen car are not the same as reconstructing months of someone's movements.In this case, they are the same. The dragnet is there and the panopticon is built. Setting a time limit on queries that needs a rubber stamp to override it is not a solution. To think it could be a solution is to still be burdened by institutional trust. That the writer has this burden is obvious from elsewhere in the article:
Every useful technology comes with risks. An officer can misuse a driver's license database to obtain an ex-girlfriend's address. A dispatcher can access criminal history or CAD notes without a legitimate reason. A detective can leak confidential information to a friend. Such conduct is already prohibited, and many officers have lost their law enforcement certifications and have been prosecuted for improperly accessing restricted information. The problem with the "misuse" objection is that it proves way too much. If possible or actual misuse is enough to stop the public implementation of some technology, then it would apply to almost every government tool or power that has ever been used (whether in a criminal, civil, or administrative context). ...Your terms are acceptable. Getting rid of ALPR systems would be a good start on a wider stand-down of mass surveillance technologies. The more the merrier. None of it - and none of its operators - can be trusted. "Misuse" (which I increasingly think is the wrong word, since these systems appear to be designed to be used in the "wrong" way) is not a risk, it is an inevitability - and it occurs almost immediately. The entire class of thinkpieces from "conservatives" trying to rationalize mass surveillance technology with a rich history of egregious behavior by its operators is baffling. What about mass surveillance is suddenly rock-ribbed? Nothing. It comes from, I think, two sources. The first is vestigial trust, the belief that the system can be "safeguarded against abuse." It can't. Recent and more distant history does not show any success in safeguarding any system against abuse, which is why good systems design aims for systems that are smaller rather than larger and decentralized rather than centralized. Outside of a poorly-construct and weak appeal to non-existent trust, I think there may be something more pernicious involved in some this: short-sighted faith that it's okay because "we're in charge." If you didn't click the links, go read the EFF and ILJ reports I referenced just below the fold. EFF in particular chose to cherry-pick specific abuses that are mostly around communist agitators like "No Kings" and abortion clinics while the ILJ focuses more on immigration and personal abuses like stalking, with no mention of any of these dragnets going against conservatives. Reports like these help provide a false sense of security to the "other side" - these systems are working for you! Comfort in advocating for these systems simply because "your side is in charge," if that is part of it, is short-sighted and foolish to the point of stupidity because even if it's true - and it isn't, as the last decade thoroughly demonstrates - "your side" will not be in charge forever. Articles like this one that extol putative benefits but not the record of abuses, choose "safeguarding" and "rules" as a solution, hearken back to a world of trust that no longer exists, set up strawmen and drift into "the ends justify the means" territory on the back of bloody pathos are themselves prime evidence of core weakness of argument. Universal mass surveillance dragnets are a bad idea, are designed to be "misused" and are antithetical to liberty - and mental gymnastics in weak thinkpieces can do nothing to change that

A broad theory I have is that white progressives thought electing Barack Obama would lead to racial utopianism.
When that didn't happen, they blamed white people generally and felt like any effort to even run at all against Obama in 2012 was a betrayal. They already hated us, but the hatred shifted to hatred of the self because of their skin.
It's the moment that they internalized that their skin made them the enemy of progress.

There have been several brainwashing ops in the last 15 or so years to go with the extended one we live under. Detailed mostly right here on these very pages by yours truly - I said they were going to ply people, drive them nuts, and into believing ever more ridiculous things.
I even told you which groups would be targeted and when. What's more I told you not just when and who, but HOW they were doing it.
And it's still happening. We are victims of it here to an extent. We talk about the things the Left wants us to talk about. That's huge. And because we haven't lived any other way for so long, it doesn't seem that odd or weird. But trust me it's insane. We are in one long "national conversation".

And then have the municipal government entities who approved the surveillance systems to explain the placement criteria. Why is a camera pointed at a kiddy pool? At a gun store? At a night club? Wouldn't those places have their own security devices inside the perimeter?

The ticket came to her with our son's picture and a copy of her license with the F crossed out an and M hand written. She ignored it, got a subpoena, went to court, the judge says you aren't male throws the ticket out and tells her to pay for the cost of the subpoena. She objects on the grounds it shouldn't have been issued in the first place. The judge attempts charge for additional BS, she stands her ground and judge all waves fees (while the court recorder smirks).
She asked about the original fraud but couldn't get anywhere. sigh.

The 40-year-old Girls creator and husband Luis Felber announced that they had welcomed a new child in an op-ed for Vogue published Wednesday morning.
Dunham had kept relatively quiet about her hopes to become a parent after she underwent a hysterectomy in 2018.
The actress and writer made the difficult decision to have a total hysterectomy to remove her uterus and cervix and an ovary after enduring years of endometriosis-related pain.
Dunham married Peruvian-British musician Felber in a low-key London ceremony back in September 2021.
Felber previously revealed how they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend and got on so well on their first meeting that they 'didn't stop talking for eight hours'.

Racism in Hollywood.
Hold on tight. Sunny Hostin is playing the race card.
The far-Left “View” host played it for personal reasons this time. Hostin, unbeknownst to many, is a published author. Her book series includes titles like “Summer on the Bluffs” and “Summer on Highland Beach.”
Turns out at least one tome made it to the New York Times’ Bestseller list. Said list is compromised, sadly, but it’s still a feather in Hostin’s cap.
You go, birthing person!
That’s not enough, though. She wants to see her stories on the big screen. And she blames racism for their absence.
“And the gatekeeping in Hollywood around Black and Brown creative content is insane,” she continued. “I cannot get New York Times best-selling books onto the screen to tell diverse stories to diverse communities.”

The cop is present and, in the event of bad behavior, can take action to either resolve the issue, or protect themselves, depending on the nature of the infraction and the race of the perpetrator.
A flock camera compiles a historical record of your activities which can be perused later, when actions which were once legal have been declared illegal.
These are not the same.

Everything the lefties do is to raise their social status among their peers, despite their total lack of actual accomplishments. The most amusing and telling example is the "non-practicing whites".

His solution is to encrypt the "black box" of the Machine so thoroughly that it simply cannot be hacked. The only information anyone is allowed to access is a SSN. "Relevant" numbers--those related to national security concerns--are passed to government agencies. "Irrelevant" numbers--where a crime has been identified that's NOT pertinent to national security--are passed off to Finch and his colleague Reese.
In both cases, humans are directed to take a closer look at the SSNs involved, rather then being handed a complete picture of the situation. They must then use OTHER tools to figure out what's going on.

Up until about 2 years ago, the most common Labour critique of the Tories on immigration was that the Conservative Party was too open borders.
The Labour party was the restrictionist immigration party forever in Britain. Jeremy Corbyn made a lot of speeches about how open borders undercut the British working class' wages.

Ultimately the problem is not, as your example points out, 'the individual camera'. It's the backend supercollation, the lack of strong abuse prevention, and the worshipful faith that 'the system says that your car was there, so I ignore the evidence of my eyes' as has been seen in some cases.

I don't buy the privacy argument because when you are in public you have no expectation of privacy.
However the abuses of the technology is the problem. Stories about cops stalking their ex's and present girlfriends makes a strong argument against these cameras.
I live on a main street and there is a school diagonally across from me about 100 yards away. The city installed cameras to monitor speeding in the school zone for 'safety". I don't see it being any safer, but the city makes a lot of money from tickets.

There's a small industry on YT of people filming in front of some building or another, usually a government one, in order to draw the ire of the local cops. The filmer then points out that he is entirely within his rights to film in a public place, and usually the cops have to tuck their tails and leave.

The cop is not keeping voluminous records of every person's activities. And if he sees a crime being committed, he can act then and there to apprehend the perp, thereby stopping the perp's crime spree. The Flock camera might observe the crime, record it, and provide enough information to arrest the perp, at some later date, after he has committed many more crimes.

None of this is true when you receive an accusation a month later, or two months later, with nothing but a few photographs at best documenting the “crime”. Unless you are someone who thinks constantly in terms of alibis, there is rarely anything you can recall from that specific moment and place to successfully counter the accusation even in your own mind, let alone that of the “court”.

The visible, physical presence of the cop also acts as a *deterrent* to crime because criminals are less likely to commit a crime if they reasonably believe that they will be chased down by a nearby cop.
However, Flock cameras (and other surveillance tools) are NOT readily visible or identifiable as such, so criminals will be MORE likely to commit crimes if they believe that they are not being surveilled.

The cop isn't connected to the internet with unlimited storage. While the cop on the street corner is conducting surveillance for the state he is not cataloging every single person's face and location constantly.
As you said the cop is watching for bad behavior and he will react to that, he is not standing there 24/7 collecting data on every person that walks by him that will be preserved and be searchable forever.

The idea that the 4th Amendment permits warrantless permanent, wholesale collection, collation, and dissemination of everything you've done, everywhere you've gone, and everything and everyone you've ever associated with is not messy in the legal sense - it is unconstitutional.

The one good thing that ALPRs can do that nothing else can is something that we don't need yet. I would like to see them all installed but turned off, until we get a Constitutional amendment carving out a 1A exception for Marxism and Islam. When practicing either is a treasonous offense punishable by lifetime banishment from America, then we will want to be able to flip a switch and know where they all are at all times.
Until then, a technology powerful enough to round up every last socialist and Muslim in America is one that we should probably at least refrain from, and maybe even forbid.

Now explain how that cop's memory is going to reach back seven months ago to that time the white, male subject dropped the N-bomb on a black man to serve as an aggravating factor in the bar fight he just got into with a completely different black man.
Now it's not a simple assault, it's a hate crime and he's going away for fifteen years.
Your cop can't do that, but Flock will absolutely draw connections to things that aren't actually connected.

What this is is a step closer to omniscience -- the all knowing god in the sky. Here are the problems
- abuse of the information for non crimes by those with access
- abuse by gov. creating new crimes in emergencies, like covid or global warming. (we are already there.)
- abuse by gov creating so many crimes that everyone is guilty of something (we are already there.)
- shifting from crime prevention to social control (most of the world is already here - social credit, speech restrictions, theocratic control, ...)
And none of the above requires any real leap -- it is the world we are already in and the cameras are just giving the authoritarians and totalitarians a powerful new tool. Why would anyone think that is a good idea?

When we lived in connecticut the cops would run license plate scanners in parking lots. They would cruise the lot scanning plates until they got a hit or they ran out of cars. They would then move on to the next parking lot. It's no different than them looking for stolen cars using the mark I eyeball, they just do it faster with the scanners.
I have not seen them doing that here in Texas.

The cops aren't the only ones accessing Flock.
Flock sells your data to anyone for any reason, with or without a warrant. They've been quite open about this.
Their terms of use now state the installer "Grants Flock the “exclusive right to determine and control” how, when, and in what format customer data is accessed," and adds a "perpetual" license for Flock to use customer data to "support and improve" its services, "even after the customer ends the relationship."
They can keep and sell your image and data to anyone at any time for any reason, forever.

For example, a license plate with an "8" on it that is confused with a "B". Imagine the mistake leads to thinking the person in question, or the vehicle, is involved in something other than a speeding or parking violation.
The speeding or parking is minor. Yet, if you're compelled to appear in person, your time is consumed with arguing about the validity of the data used to issue the citation in the first place. Not whether it's your fault or not.

In CA they have a law (had?) that you get (I think) 6 months before you have to put a real plate on a car. 6 months of no plate for new cars. So tech billionaires would buy a new car every 6 months to keep their car anonymous. I don't mind cops being able to ID a car ***after**** it is found suspect of a crime (speeding or whatever) but the plates reveal ID *before* hand and that feels like a violation of the 14th. They get around that of course by claiming that driving is a "privilege" and not a right. Fuck them. That may have been true in 19th century but it is now a necessity to live.

But that precise point is where we disagree the most strongly.
It isn't messy to say 'giving any person, including (but not necessarily) law enforcement, immediate, automated access to the entire history of any American at any time is wrong.'
Flock was literally designed and is constantly updated to do exactly that and therefore shouldn't be able to operate in the US.

It isn't messy to say 'giving any person, including (but not necessarily) law enforcement, immediate, automated access to the entire history of any American at any time is wrong.'
I'm not sure we do disagree. I've NEVER advocated for what you describe in your second sentence. Therefore, the line will have to be drawn somewhere between that and a total abolition of public filming. Other than that, I've taken no position.

Better-half once got a ticket from Tucson, our jeep driven by our son got caught by a photo radar trap. The ticket came to her with our son's picture and a copy of her license with the F crossed out an and M hand written. She ignored it, got a subpoena, went to court, the judge says you aren't male throws the ticket out and tells her to pay for the cost of the subpoena. She objects on the grounds it shouldn't have been issued in the first place. The judge attempts charge for additional BS, she stands her ground and judge all waves fees (while the court recorder smirks).
She asked about the original fraud but couldn't get anywhere. sigh.

I got a ticket in TX from a red light camera. In 2023. Problem is, they were made illegal in 2019 by the TX Legislature.
I got some nasty grams in the mail from a law firm that had me mail the check to the other end of the country of all things, threatening all sorts of nonsense if I didn’t pay an illegally issued ticket. Cool. I mailed them a copy of the TX Transportation Code. Relevant portion highlighted.
Haven’t heard from them since.

I am open to some degree of public filming. I expect and accept toll booth cameras, red light cameras, et al. They are there to capture violations as they happen.
What Flock is doing, though, ISN'T just filming. People (generally) wouldn't oppose just filming.
It's constructing complete dossiers on every single person who must - in the course of their daily lives, and without consent - subject themselves to releasing the entirety of that dossier to anyone upon demand.
Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at September 16, 2026 12:11 PM (gLYp7)
Consider how far in debt the government's credit card program is, Social Security, Welfare, SNAP, etc. It is no different (except perhaps in scale) at the local level. I will bet 100 quatloos that in every city where FLOCK camera exist, some cop and/or local pol is using it to track a spouse, girl/boyfriend, political enemy, etc.

Use of equipment would be audited and cop would have to explain the probable cause for each use. No one in public would be able to ID a car or see license, just the useless qr code.
Of course, AI has mooted this plan as we now can ID cars based on dirt patterns on the fender.

It is my belief that, for a variety of reasons, Erich Mielke's Stasi provided the template for our dystopia. Not just surveillance, but also propaganda, and especially, above all, (there is no appropriate English word for it), the Zersetzung.
I think when the Cold War ended and our intelligence apparatus turned against the home country, they looked at the formidable machine Mielke built and said "we can do this on a scale Erich could only imagine in his wildest dreams."

Exactly my argument against the Patriot Act after 9-11. There were a number of folks I know that thought it was a GREAT idea, because Bush was President, but I reminded them if they'd trust it in the hands of a President Hilary Clinton...and if not, it was definitely NOT a good idea.

It allows someone to be followed without any sort of limit.
Quite simply, if an individual officer followed someone all day, gathering the information a Flock system can gather, unless the officer was actively investigating said person, the officer would be guilty of harassment and possibly stalking. If a department used several officers, stationed around town, to do the same thing, it would definitely be harassment on the part of the department.
All Flock does is substitute a computer and a bunch of cameras for the harassing officer.

Talking about "rules" means nothing without a thorough accompaniment of how vigorously those rules are employed and enforced. Every State has robust rules against voter fraud, but without enforcement the fraud goes rampant.
I wholly reject the concept of "no expectation of privacy in public spaces." Unless I am in the act of committing a crime, or it is reasonably inferable that I am going to commit a crime, I have EVERY expectation of privacy in a public space.
The Constitution says that the government cannot take any interest in me without a warrant. We need to return to that standard. Enforceably.

Along the same lines, tapping phones was undetectable and therefore ullegal. Even unmarked cars are rare, but the car itself is visible.
But the guy in the bushes, looking in your window and idly counting the perfume bottles on your dresser is not.
The differences with ALPRs and wearing Perv Glasses from normal behavior is as simple as Spy vs. Spy. And for some good reason the punishment for spying is summary execution.

Long wave the Bonny Blue Banner on high, with ever the Stars and Stripes floating by, in unity show to friend and to foe that Love, the Lone Star, supreme in the sky e’er glows with a light that never shall die, where lovely bright blue bonnets grow.
Texas, my Texas, may God never cease to bless you with truth and wisdom’s increase. Your cause ever be humanity’s plea, your hope that on earth, greed and war will surcease and bluebonnets grow as a symbol of peace, in the Lone Star State by the sea.

The painting reminds me of seeing local bluebells (different plants but similar appearance) as they emerge near streams in the spring. We look forward to it every year.
Look at some of Onderdonk's other works on his Wiki page. They have the same ability to show a landscape and the emotional sense it provides. His paintings are as good as any of the French masters of the style from a previous generation. What a shame he does so young.

Julian Onderdonk
It's so calm & pretty, would definitely hang this piece. Thanks.
--
Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Julian Onderdonk left his hometown in 1901 to study painting in New York City. That summer, he enrolled in classes at William Merritt Chase’s art school in Shinnecock Hills, Long Island, where he developed a facility for plein-air landscapes. In 1909, he moved back to San Antonio and began to paint the natural scenery of the surrounding Hill Country region, focusing on the spring wildflower blooms.
Onderdonk’s interest in the Hill Country was unconventional; most Texas landscape painters of his era favored the arid expanses of West Texas ranches. Nonetheless, Onderdonk gradually built a following, exhibiting his works both locally and in major national exhibitions. By the time of his early death at 40, he had helped usher in a new regional aesthetic that pictured Texas through the lens of contemporary impressionism rather than the rugged iconography of the so-called frontier.

I'm very curious about Texas' burgeoning caliphate.
Minnesota? Sure. I get it. Those Communist retards all thirst for sandmaggot cock. It makes perfect sense.
But I can't imagine the way they've rolled out the red carpet for the throngs of Muslims is too popular with TX voters.
I have to assume the TX GOP's rakeoff from the welfare scams is very yuge and luxurious.

I know about Caddo, what's the other one?
Fun fact: The many reservoirs along the many Texas rivers were initiated following a severe drought in the mid 50s. Some of these reservoirs distribute water to adjacent watersheds (Dallas takes a lot of water out of East Texas). Current laws would not allow such scandalous development and the financial offsets of eliminating taxable property AND providing 3:1 offsets for reservations of virgin ecological/natural acres would make it prohibitive.

To solve the water crisis, repurpose the brine coming up with the fossil fuels (because the fossils swim in fossil water). Desalination is cheap where energy is cheap, and west Texas is a depopulated wasteland with abundant solar.
Corpus Christi could also use desal.

Hold on tight. Sunny Hostin is playing the race card.
The far-Left “View” host played it for personal reasons this time. Hostin, unbeknownst to many, is a published author. Her book series includes titles like “Summer on the Bluffs” and “Summer on Highland Beach.”
Turns out at least one tome made it to the New York Times’ Bestseller list. Said list is compromised, sadly, but it’s still a feather in Hostin’s cap.
You go, birthing person!
That’s not enough, though. She wants to see her stories on the big screen. And she blames racism for their absence.
“And the gatekeeping in Hollywood around Black and Brown creative content is insane,” she continued. “I cannot get New York Times best-selling books onto the screen to tell diverse stories to diverse communities.”

The Morning Report — 9/ 16 /26
SCOTUS Denies Stay on Ruling Blocking Trump Mail-In Ballot Restrictions: Alito and Thomas dissented: “Some of the plaintiffs lack standing, while the remainder are pursuing a claim that this Court has recently called a ‘Hail Mary pass’ that ‘rarely succeeds.’”Further, Alito all but declared j'accuse...
Did the Supreme Court’s liberal justices slow-walk their dissents in litigation over President Trump’s mail-in voting order to run out the clock on its implementation for the 2026 midterms? That seems to be what Justice Samuel Alito subtly suggested in the court’s most recent ruling on the subjectAnd so on the one hand, the Leftists want to pack the court with their political allies who will subvert the Constitution and the guiding principles of American and western jurisprudence to advance their Sharia-esque goal o absolute power and control via the advancement and forcing of their preferred insane policies on our society and people. Most recently and vociferously from Mayor Buttplug, who potentially may announce a run for the presidency in 2028. And of course, if they can't achieve that goal then they are simply calling for SCOTUS and the Constitution itself to be utterly demolished, along with the Presidency, the Senate and the Electoral College. Considering the surge in popularity of the Democrat Socialites, this fringe madness could be mainstreamed faster than we imagine. Certainly if SCOTUS continues to abrogate its duty to defend the Republic and the rule of law, we are going to wake up in a nightmare. And speaking of nightmare scenarios, we have this to contend with.
The basis for Muslim political donations in the United States, is preventing non-Muslims from “coalescing amongst themselves and uniting” to defend themselves. This isn’t civic participation: it’s the tribal divide and conquer politics of the origins of Islamic colonialism and imperialism. . . Muslim PACs previously claimed that they were just people representing their communities. The Fiqh system pulls back the curtain to show a central body of Islamic scholars trying to use money to control the outcome of American elections for “benefitting the Ummah” (meaning the global Muslim community’s local or foreign interests) “either in one’s own country or locality (such as countering a clearly anti-Muslim politician with an agenda of harm) or internationally.” Any politician taking money routed through this method would be acting as a puppet for an Islamic theocracy which would be using them to covertly exert its control over Americans.Yeah, that's crazy talk right there, you conspiracy nutters! So let's all lose our heads (pun intended) over this, But AI! Oh no, it's Armageddon... Have a good day.
It’s hard to think of anything more un-American than a foreign theocracy hijacking our elections.

Maybe I shouldn't open the can of worms on this, and I fully admit to being armchair quarterback with all that's going on in Iran, but at this point, all I care about is how the midterms will pan out. And driving down the road yesterday seeing diesel at $6.16 here in little upstate SC and gas over $4, I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that if gas prices don't start coming down, that's going to hurt Trump baaad come November. And by extension, the rest of us. I hope I'm wrong.

Ed Sheeran’s band, Beoga, have dropped out of his tour:
“We have made the decision to depart as Ed Sheeran's band on the remaining US Loop tour, following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.”
Once again, we can't have nice things because Lefty activists must turn EVERYTHING into a protest venue.

Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that aims to find the best ways to help others by using evidence and reason. It encourages individuals to consider how their actions can maximize positive impact on the world.
You know who was a bigtime proponent of Effective Altruism?
Sam Bankman Fried.
How altruistic is it to swindle billions from investors and spend it Lefty candidates and causes?

I don't think James Madison is around this early, but he's posted data showing gas prices don't actually have a measurable impact on elections (in either direction).
I'm not sure if you'd agree with it or not, but the data is out there.

It occurs to me that if there wasn't the current conflict with Iran, the antagonistic mullahs could have done what they're doing now, and it would have the same effect.
People who hate Trump will blame him regardless.
If there's one thing that slightly bugs me, it was Trump's declarations about "a deal" multiple times with little to show for it. But... the fuel prices could very well have spiked for other reasons had the conflict not been going on.

Yeah, kinda indifferent on his music but this pairing was a set-up.
So many entertainers are happy to get political, with an audience who love that vibe, so why would you then instead pair Macklemore with a guy whose audience loves bland, pop love songs and NO politics? It's like the trans activist showing up on the online knitting forum and insisting all knitters pledge to support trans kids, or the immigrant author declaring the romance novels are "too white" and stirring up a social media mob to harass success authors to be more "inclusive."
It's the same game, over and over again. This time it's about "zionist censorship," but last year it was about "trans erasure," and a few years before that it was about [pick your media format] being "too white."
Instead of taking the activist bait, shut down the game.
I don't have to debate your pet politics to enjoy music, and the singers sure as heck aren't required to take your political purity test.

Further, while people support balancing the budget, doing so would either require massive tax increases, supported by the people who currently pay nothing in taxes, or massive cuts to social spending, supported by some of the people who do pay taxes, no majority supports any of the approaches. Confiscatory taxes come closest, mostly because people foolishly believe that government wouldn't continue spending $1.50 for every dollar that comes in.

I doubt Carney's decision to nuke the US trade deal was a spur of the moment thing and I don't think closer ties with the EU is something that just happened today.
Old alliances, many that didn't have our best interests at heart but were designed for the betterment of the globalist cabal, are being shredded and a new order is being established. Trump's pivot away from Europe and toward the western hemisphere is real.

Understand this. Constitutions are social contracts, maybe a mission statement, nothing more. They are only as good as those who are entrusted to keeping them.
The former United States is no longer anything approaching a monoculture, that means a Mission Statement is absolutely impossible. We also have a penchant for electing trustees who are as wicked and depraved as ourselves. Then there is the sport of pilpul where no matter what document, no body of laws, no gentlemen's agreement—some asshole is going to wrest whatever agreement was in place to advance their own interests.
The Constitution was made for a self-regulating, religious people and is totally unsuitable for any other.

Even if you haven’t heard an Ed Sheeran song, you have most likely heard something he has written - Perfect, Don’t, Shape of You, Thinking out Loud, Photograph, Shivers are some of his most recent hits.

. . .Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei, who says he has found an outside team that can regulate AI and make sure it doesn’t destroy the world. . .
METR spun off from an Effective Altruism-aligned tech incubator called Alignment Research Center (ARC), which is headed by AI researcher Paul Christiano. He was Amodei’s housemate, coworker and research collaborator in the 2010s when they were both at OpenAI — Anthropic’s biggest rival.
One staffer on METR is Ajeya Cotra, who is married to Christiano and has been a major organizer in the EA world.
The founder and CEO of the group is Beth Barnes, who was hired by Christiano and was involved in the EA movement at college.
Chief scientist Hjalmar Wijk and staffers Megan Kinniment and Pip Arnott all came from the same research cluster at the University of Oxford — a major feeder for EA.
This explains so much! He doesn't want the US government oversight, he wants his own friend's globalist, unaccountable to any government organization to oversee it.
You really should check out the pictures of these METR people. This is a nightmare.

Pretty sure the point was to force all in attendance at the Grammies to participate in a gay wedding - making a music awards ceremony into an LGBTQ event. There were no doubt Country and Gospel singers present who did not want to be part of that, and he was daring them to walk out and then face harassment for being anti-LGBTQ.

I suspect it’s even simpler than that - Trump introduced the Abrahan Accords, intended to bring relative peace and stability to the region. He personally asked the Saudi’s to join; instead, they shit on that idea and came up with the ridiculous Mecca Accords with Turkey and Pakistan instead.
So suddenly the Saudi’s have been called out with their proverbial pants around their ankles, the Mecca Accords are revealed as a ridiculous farce, and Trump is kicking back in an easy chair, whistling Dixie and saying “just think how different things could be if you’d taken my advice.”
The economic damage to Europe and China, and the exposure of Europe’s total military ineptitude is just icing on the cake.

Every single person who voted against this or voted present is a depraved immoral coward
(Shows clip of vote count on motion to table Greene's impeachment resolution. What a retard lol)
If we impeach Trump again, I hope it's such a solid case even republicans have to vote for it. Otherwise I say Dems need to focus on keeping the county going until after the midterms.
Sure its pointless but there really isn't a reason to vote against either... how can we be sure they won't also try to block investigations?
Every act of resistance shows that resistance is possible and encourages others to resist. It forces collective attention onto Trump’s many impeachable offences and away from whatever agenda he wants publicised. It reminds everyone what the standard expected of presidents is and how far Trump has failed to meet it. It sends a message to foreign allies that there are parts of the system still working and that America is not going to simply acquiesce to Trump’s depredations. And because, as Zapata once said, it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

The AI panic is a similar scam that the media has been pushing. And it's dying in real time because people are taking it apart on social media, mainly X, the very place that was ground zero for social media censorship.
The same people are trying to do the same thing with AI. Put government sanctioned, left leaning censors in charge. They get the censorship they want and government cover which doesn't hurt when they are trying to get trillion dollar IPOs.

For a while there, especially when the Space X IPO had mixed reactions, there was this trial balloon to have the US tax payers "invest" in this AI money printing juggernaut.
And by "invest", corrupt government officials would likely create tranches where they and their cronies fully receive the benefits of the Cantillion Effect, and walk off with billions reaped off the forced "government partnership" (aka tax dollar purchase) of a dog stock as AI vulture capitalists realize that all of the promise of AI profits has already been realized in terms of its perceived value.
They are looking for a very deep pocketed fool to buy out their trillion dollar over-spend position.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just DROPPED this message to every American and it's SPOT ON:
"If there are things you wish the Republicans would've done? Well, they're DEFINITELY not gonna get done if you put the DSA IN CHARGE. In fact, EVERYTHING would be dead on arrival, and they'd spend the last 2 years of President Trumps' presidency going after him and his administration."
"That's ALL they'll do. They will not do a SINGLE thing that will benefit the American people."
This is why it's NEVER the correct alternative to elect country-destroyers just because we want more done by the GOP
I myself WISH the SAVE America Act were passed, but why would I elect the party of VOTER FRAUD, who would never even CONSIDER proof of citizenship and voter ID?

He goes on to say that “almost everyone involved is affiliated with Coefficient, Open Philanthropy, Anthropic, and/or OpenAI — all of who serve to benefit financially from creating regulation.”
(Anthropic and OpenAI have more than doubled their lobbying spending in the first half of this year. Anthropic spent nearly $2 million in Q2 alone.)
But why would AI companies want the federal government to step in and regulate their industry? Because, as is the case with all government regulations, it’s the best way to block new entrants into a market. Big companies can hire lobbyists to make sure the rules are crafted to their liking, and they can easily absorb the costs of all the mandates. The little guys get shut out.

Any industry that is being essentially run by government instantly becomes significantly more valuable, particularly a new industry that is speculative. Government oversight means safety and safety means value. Trillions of value.
And in return the masters of the AI universe agree to be tools of the government and create their products to serve the government's wishes.
It's not a big mystery why the fast majority of pressure coming from the government to create an oversight bureaucracy for AI is coming from the left.

In sum, the answer is because there are no easy fixes, and everything you list takes years of hard choices, hard work, and clear thinking policy to achieve. The world energy situation is being massively transformed - few understand what a major impact that the Venezuelan agreement will have - but big moved in energy infrastructure always take 2 to 5 years to show up in public perception. No way around that.
One of the biggest reasons we’re in such a mess in so many areas is that for at least 50 years, those in power have been making decisions based on maximizing short term results while ignoring long term consequences. Well the long term is now here, and it’s not going to be fixed by any more short term tinkering.

There was never a chance of the SC siding with election integrity, any more than the GOP Congress would pass SAVE. The entire government relies on fraud.
It's equivalent to the Soviet Union voting to dissolve itself, and the State & Party here are still far too robust to consider that.
It's good to get it on the record for future generations, but I can't believe Trump ever expected more than that. He's not stupid, and he's not living on Twitter hopium.

She had a dude that convinced her that's what men wanted, so she carried that forward because that's what she felt she needed to do to please a man.

If you're old enough to remember, under the first two years of Reaganomics the economy didn't improve that much. Because digging out from Carter wasn't going to happen overnight. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
And they we had years of a booming economy because turning around the economy and dealing with shit that should have been dealt with years ago instead of trying to bribe terrorists and kicking the can down the road takes time.
The economy is definitely better under Trump. Manufacturing is returning to the US, Iran is on the ropes and it's just a matter of time. And yea, getting rid of illegal and sealing the border is kind of a big deal.

My former step-sister, the tw*t, signed her mother up with an organization called Patriot Angels. My dad served during the Vietnam era. They were a bit of a pain to work with because of all the info they required and all the leg work you needed to do on your end to get the info they wanted, but, the end result was quite impressive.
They pushed all the paperwork and did the rest so my step-mother would receive a significant benefit from my father's military service.

If you remember the story of Samuel, God didn’t prefer monarchy either, and Samuel explained how it would oppress them. But the people wanted a monarchy because everyone else had one, so they were allowed to find out for themselves.

Wondering where Nancy Pelosi has been, especially as she apparently still considers She continues to treat national midterms as "her race," fundraising heavily to ensure Democrats take back the House majority before she exits.
Punchbowl News, Tech, 'Obama, Pelosi, Harris face progressive AI money backlash'
Progressives are attacking top Democratic figures for backing an AI initiative created by one of the founding donors of a super PAC, Leading the Future, closely tied to the industry.
In part, "Former President Barack Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic nominee for California governor Xavier Becerra all applauded venture capitalist Ron Conway’s Project Blueprint. The initiative aims to rebuild bridges between the tech industry and the Democratic Party.
But progressive advocates interested in AI regulation didn’t like that look."

Part of it is also: social media. It convinces you that all women are not only doing the shit you know about- but worse shit. Testimonials. Tiktok examples. etc etc.
The thing is, it is easy for a weak mind to get drawn in to all of it. To think that all women are that way, so I got a hot one and I can... exert some control over this. But dude (and I do not mean, you, Sponge) the reason you keep running into whores is because you are attracted to whores. They are attracted to you because, whore. This is not all women. This is just the subset you see.

One of the biggest reasons we’re in such a mess in so many areas is that for at least 50 years, those in power have been making decisions based on maximizing short term results while ignoring long term consequences. Well the long term is now here, and it’s not going to be fixed by any more short term tinkering.

Sierra Times, 'California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi Joins Democratic Women's Caucus In Slamming Trump’s Health and Human Services (HHS) For Plan To Gut Head Start' Published and Last Updated: Wednesday, 16 September 2026
It seems, in part, they sent "a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) demanding HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdraw their proposed rule to gut 90% of Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) that would increase costs for families and eliminate educational resources women and families rely on. The letter was signed by 87 House Democrats."
Locally, all I saw in the past was a crappy babysitting program, allowing a lot of 'parents' free time.
And, of course, Nancy is still endorsing & campaigning for Connie Chan - already securing her a spot in the upcoming November general election runoff in California - and blocking State Senator Scott Wiener.
Don't forget her, still the lead.

- If you really must have an RTX 5090, one of the cheaper ways to get it right now is the $11,000 Asus ROG 20th Anniversary bundle. (Tom's Hardware)
That comes with a motherboard, a 3000W power supply, and an open-frame case which is perfect if you plan to put it inside another case. All of it over the top - the motherboard for example supports up to nine M.2 SSDs - but given the absurd prices the 5090 is going for now not actually a bad deal. Comparatively. In absolute terms it is absolutely awful.
- Geekbench 7 is a lousy test of multi-core CPU performance and tech journalists are idiots. (WCCFTech)
No, a 36 core CPU from this year is not going to beat a 96 core CPU from last year. If your benchmark says it does, it's a bad benchmark.

Sadi
ca. 1213
Persian poet
I never complained at the vicissitudes of fortune, nor murmured at the ordinances of Heaven, excepting once, when my feet were bare, and I had not the means of procuring myself shoes.
I entered the great mosque at Cufah with a heavy heart when I beheld a man who had no feet.
I offered up praise and thanksgiving to God for his bounty, and bore with patience the want of shoes.
usually quoted as ‘I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet’

There is a 19th-century tradition tracing to Bradford the idiomatic "There but for the grace of God go I" as an expression of humility and reliance on God's grace rather than his own morality. The editor of The Writings of John Bradford, Aubrey Townsend, notes this in his preface:
The familiar story, that, on seeing evil-doers taken to the place of execution, he was wont to exclaim, "But for the grace of God there goes John Bradford", is a universal tradition which has overcome the lapse of time.

I guess it's the story after the story that makes the difference.
Does he walk away feeling better about himself and ignore the other guy completely, or does he realize his own problems are trivial and do something tangible to help the other guy?
Obviously the latter is probably the point of the story. But... you know... i'm just a rotten bastard who assumes everything else is also rotten. So pay me no mind.

My grammar school started at 8:45 and let out at 3, but we had a fifteen-minute recess at 10:20, and a lunch that was a full hour. In jr. high and high school, I think homeroom started at 8:45, we had six classes of :55 each with five minutes between, an hour's lunch (two shifts, so not everybody went at the same time), and got out at 3:15.

Those crazy Dispensationalists...
According to the Bible, not John Hagee:
Magog was one of the seven sons of Japeth; Japeth was one of three of Noah's sons. Gog is a descendant of the Magog tribe. Josephus and other scholars place the Magog tribe descendants with the Scythian people north of the Black Sea.
Pretty sure that the audience Ezekiel was writing to didn't require Bible Codes to decipher the prophecy's meaning.
Apparently the people of Magog were notoriously rebellious to God because historic Jewish interpretations and Christian amillennial reading of this as a generic collective of terrifying enemies of God as the nomadic horse people of the north who had a reputation of appearing suddenly and disappearing suddenly in the form of terrifying invasions. So Ezekiel's imagery was probably to set this idea into his audience's mind and heart.
Take it from there if you wish to compare to Rev 20 where the demonic forces that the Apostles chained during their ministry are release for a short time just before The End

I've done a little search on find a grave because I needed to verify a set of dates and the spelling of a name. Going through mom's side, I can go back to someone in 1577 in northern Britain. There are stories that FG is unreliable because anyone can add to your line.
Anyway, geneticists say that after about two to three generations, you have nothing from your ancestors anyway. So, although you can trace your line back that far, they really don't have any genetic connection to you.

Put your emergency contact information on your phone's lock screen. I did so by typing it up in a large font and printing it. Then I took about six photos of the page with the text at different positions in the photo. I used each as the wallpaper for the lock screen until I had one that wasn't blocked by widgets.
This way if I'm lying in a ditch, or even just lose my phone, when someone pushes the button they see the contact's phone number and email.

I think you are referring to "distinctives" unless you propose that new DNA just appears out of nowhere. Things like eye color and attached ear lobes probably are diluted away in accordance to Mendel's Genetic laws.

Those crazy Dispensationalists...

In Pixy's content, which I actually do read, OpenAI is trying to get ChatGPT to be less of a dick. Grok is the worst. I mean it's terrible, and I hate talking to it. I cancelled my subscription. It runs out tomorrow, thank God.
Any way, what I said there was true, so if you head down to Amazing Grace Baptist Church, you can speak there to them about there sermons. I stopped going a lot time ago...
Too many contradictions in the Bible.

That is a lot of work to avoid the built-in First Responder screens: Under Settings → Safety and Emergency, enter the stuff. 1st Responders can wake the phone, swipe to the PIN/password screen, Tap Emergency Call and then tap View Medical Info.

I haven't gone that far into it. I just remember seeing some YT vids a few months ago talking about the subject. Usually a family tree site or something.
I would say without any scientific evidence of my own, that the person who died in Durham in 1577 probably wouldn't look like me and would probably not have looked like his direct male relative from 1066.

Understood. The American Religion has largely replaced Christianity and has taken the name and wearing Christianity's reputation as a skin suit.
It isn't internal contradictions you are witnessing, its downright rejection, on their part to convey the Truth's of Scripture because the Bible's doctrines conflict greatly with what Americans want their god to be.
e.g. Seeker Sensitive is antithetical to Doctrines of Grace.

I reject the Bible as anything super literal. But, for the most part, I like the values and think they are good for people. There's just not enough valuing on Smiting Unto Thine Enemies in Christianity for me.
I let my Strong's Greek and Hebrew Concordance, or whatever it was called. go, long ago.
Soon enough I will convert to Catholicism for convenience.
Good day.
