Wednesday Morning Rant
So it was in Virginia. Since the Democrats took over in January, Virginia has been passing new gun control laws. There is HB-217, which bans "assault weapons" and magazines over 15 rounds. This one has plenty of exemptions, mostly for cops and soldiers and some grandfather clauses. Another bill, however, was different and got much less publicity. That one had a straight-up exemption for Virginia's new rulers. That was HB-110.
HB-110 is a bill that imposes new penalties on leaving guns in cars. When the bill was introduced by the Virginia House, it was fairly simple:No person shall leave, place, or store any handgun, as defined in § 18.2-307.1, in any unattended motor vehicle when such handgun is visible to any person who is outside such unattended motor vehicleThe bill itself was half a page long and contained only four points. One defined what an "unattended motor vehicle" is, the second is quoted above, the third describes the penalty for violation ($500) and the fourth declared that any vehicle association with a violation of the new law is legally considered to be "illegally parked" and subject to tow. That's it. Start to finish, it was 23 lines long including preamble. Good law or bad, it was at least simple and internally consistent. Then the amendments got underway. After a couple of months had passed, the bill quadrupled in length. They added boats to the definition of "motor vehicle." They added differing rules for requirements that any handgun left in a vehicle must not only be "out of sight" as it was in the original bill, but also locked in a rigid box. They added exemptions, of course, for cops and the like - including off-duty and retired cops. But there was another very special exemption slipped in through the amendment process:
The provisions of this section shall not apply to any member of the General Assembly who leaves a handgun in an unattended motor vehicle pursuant to § 18.2-308.7:1 when such vehicle is parked in any parking structure reserved for members of the General Assembly under § 2.2-1172.Ah, how nice for them. They get to bring their guns to work and leave them in the car when they park - but you can't. They're better than you, you see. They're Assemblymen. They simply can't abide by the rules they lay down for mere peasants. It wouldn't be right. The only thing that stopped them was a Senator. In that chamber, senator Richard Stuart - a Republican, took them to task for this carve-out. He was somewhat successful. While the Virginia Senate did eventually pass a version of the bill along party lines, it was much more similar to the original House bill. The Senate version is fairly similar to the original House version, with some changes. Most of the additions were removed, including the special exemption for Virginia's munificent and honorable leaders. The House then passed it largely along party lines. The special exemption for Virginia Assemblymen failed, but that the House thought it appropriate is telling. That the only reason that exemption wasn't in the final bill likely comes down a Senator dressing them down in a public forum for considering it is hardly comforting. This is not a shining example of the system working. This is a shining example of the arrogance and entitlement of a ruling class with unmasked and unbridled contempt for those they consider to be their subjects. It took a while, but royalty and aristocracy are thoroughly back in fashion.

Anyway, we flew steerage, and had to stay in what were often pretty horrible hotels far from the site, which then necessitated renting a car, with all the attendant waste of time. We had to fly connecting flights through lesser airports, etc. So what, you say?

Most people, given a bit of power, want more. Given a bit of power for a limited amount of time, they want the time extended.
Only by regular removal of elected, or appointed, officials and by refusing to vote for their progeny, can aristocracy be halted.

Any law, passed to constrain the freedoms of the affected, must apply to Congress, only and without change, for two years. Then it must apply to all government persons, only and without change, for two years. Then it may be applied to the populace.
Any law, passed to increase the freedoms of the affected, must apply to the populace first for two years without change, then the government, excluding Congress, for two years without change, then Congress.
If a bill is passed which purports to increase freedoms when it, in fact, curtails them, shall be classified as treason and all members of Congress who voted for the Act shall be put to death. As painfully as possible.

I'd suggest the point of the bill wasn't the original bill at all - it was the amendments.
They draft a perfectly reasonable - but entirely unnecessary - bill. There's no freakout because who would object to something so 'reasonable?'
Then, with a not-divisive bill in play, they amend the crap out of it in order to insert the things they really want - the things which ARE objectionable.
The original is just the vehicle by which they get what they want: Virginia conservatives one step closer to dead.

That is pretty standard for larger companies. We had limits on how many execs could be on the same flight, which is really macabre if you think about it.

I live in HD-64 and do not agree that the Dems have badly overreached. I think normal people live in Rice's district. Maybe - MAYBE - normal Americans will turn out in the midterms, maybe not.
Everything hinges on that, though. NoVa will absolutely put tens of thousands of lefty ballots in the box by any means necessary. Everyone else in all other districts will have to turn out to even make it close.
VA Dems know that. It doesn't matter what they do. There's no such thing as 'too far' for a Democrat. They have no limiting principles whatsoever. None.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at March 18, 2026 11:27 AM (BI5O2)
I always thought one reason it resonated was the murderers dressed up like they were the "good guys" in the Matrix movie....

I know this snark isn't aimed at me but I don't recall opining much on the topic when we did have the flamewar here, so I'll put down my marker:
Politics is local, and when local officials are obvious arrogant tyrants, Republicans do show up. Likewise when the Democrats can paint Trump as a tyrant (he's not), they can gin up the AWFLs to show up.
In this case it was damn hard for the Democrats to pretend Trump was the tyrant when they're letting illegals into schools to molest 13 year olds.

It was the first really well publicized school shooting, and for a lot of us the first one we'd ever heard of.
I think school shootings were a deliberate tactic the WEF switched on in the mid 90s to provide cover for gun bans. It worked in the UK and Australia but failed in the US.

Well, the Ds are opining that this isn't hard and shouldn't be political, and Trump made it political which is why it's so hard...yes, if you see that's circular reasoning, don't remind them...

The migration out of Florida has been mainly at the top and bottom of the income scale. For Lower middle class workers it’s impossible to get ahead there so they’re leaving in droves. For the ultra rich the taxes are unbeatable so they’re leaving as well. But for the upper middle class, they’re not leaving for the most part. And those people are still moving TO California. Tech bros making $250k+ a year will put up with the filth because those jobs don’t exist anywhere else for that pay plus the potential to win the lottery with stock options. It’s worth staying staying for them. And the tech startup scene in the Bay Area simply doesn’t exist anywhere else at such scale.

Oh, it wasn't directed at you. Just generic satirical intent.
Still, I'm just not seeing signs of some kind of Dem blowout brewing. Special elections aren't predictive (unless you really cherry pick the right ones, which is not how statistical analysis works), but that plus current polling environment (seeming to indicate D+3 or so when 2018 was indicating D+11 or so at the same point in the year, final result was D+9).
No idea what's gonna happen, but it seems assured that we're not looking at anything like a strong D majority even in just the House. I'd guess a small one that's all theater and unmanageable.

The shooting was bad enough, but then it was glamorized and made into a cause celebre for the left and gun control.
All right at the time when social media and alternative news was becoming a thing. Had the shooting happened just 10 years earlier -- maybe even 5 -- it might have been much less infamous and influential.
Perfect storm. It's also interesting that most of what is told about Columbine is not true.

Ya know what, that's fucking integrity and honor if they did. Takes a strong personal moral compass and beliefs tbh.
It's probably because it have been on the sea longer than the 6 months planned and not political. The sailors want to go home.
I wonder if anything political happened recently that caused their deployment to be extended? Surely it's not because of Trump's Operation Epstein Fury?
This excuse is less shameful than accepting that a small, backward country damaged their superior ship with inferior projectiles.
The US military has been ineffective against middle eastern goat herders since the 80s and I still endlessly hear, “hew hew hew, Iran ‘bout to find out why we don’t have free healthcare, hew hew hew”
Under normal conditions I would disapprove of mutiny like this, but this is not normal. You have a president acting like a dictator, and Congress won't rein him in. I don't mind if service members do it for them.

It's a push to pick up more female voters. Make all Trump's female (and normally married picks) look incompetent so R men will spurn them (b/c they will) and make Trump's admin into all male. Then, when they pass SAVE, say now they are even disenfranchising you and making your life harder. Then say he only looks out for men, so why are you following them, squishy R female.
You don't have to peel off a lot of voters to win a lot of close races.
This is an Op top to bottom - all of it. What Trump male cabinet member has the media or the paid Con Ops on our side tried to take down? If you say only RFK (b/c he also peels Ds) and Hegsgeth (b/c he actually matters), you'd be right...vs EVERY female top pick...heck, even against Erika, another now female leader...

However, I have to believe post covid so many things are easier to handle. The difference in a couple of years when my parents passed to process paperwork was noticeable. So many forms I could download forms (death certificate etc) and it made things go so much more smoothly. Complaining about an ID when so many of the socialists will never ever marry is a nothingburger.

I made the mistake of reading the ingredients. Every single one was primarily pork, with a little whatever thrown in. Was really disappointing. And not much real difference in flavor.

Karl Bodner 1809–93
Wikipedia, Kaarl Bodner
It begins, "Johann Carl Bodmer[1] (11 February 1809 – 30 October 1893) was a Swiss-French printmaker, etcher, lithographer, zinc engraver, draughtsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter. Known as Karl Bodmer in literature and paintings, his name was recorded as Johann Karl Bodmer and Jean-Charles Bodmer, respectively. After 1843, likely as a result of the birth of his son Charles-Henry Barbizon, he began to sign his works K Bodmer.
Bodmer was well known in Germany for his watercolours, drawings, and aquatints of cities and landscapes of the Rhine, Mosel, and Lahn rivers. After he moved to France following his return from an expedition in the American West, he became a member of the Barbizon School, a French landscape painting group from the mid-19th century. He created many oil paintings with animal and landscape motifs, wood engravings, drawings, and book illustrations. For his work, Bodmer was made a Knight in the French Legion of Honour in 1877." More.
Great body of work. Became recognized for his depictions of large oak trees, i.e., “The Bodmer Oak,” in an 1865 painting by Claude Monet.

I'll see your zero and raise you four.
With his gruff personality, Dr. McCoy was not known for his good bedside manner, so it's not surprising he would report deaths rather bluntly. Although the phrase, "He's dead, Jim," is often associated with the death of so-called red shirts, Dr. McCoy never actually used this exact wording in that way. Surprisingly, the exact phrase, "He's dead, Jim," was only spoken by Dr. McCoy four times on Star Trek: The Original Series, although he used some variation of "He's dead" many more times. Here is every time McCoy uttered this now iconic phrase.

If you slice them thin when you are making your base mirapois then they simply blend in and add a sweetness component.

Yes. Also works well for exactly that in a bolognese especially when using canned tomatoes. I don't put carrots in my chili for sweetness because I use other things like BBQ, honey etc. But it's a good reason to do so.

I do NOT put carrots in my chili. However, I did find out I like raw chilled carrot sticks on the side. The cool, sweet crunch of the carrots makes a nice contrast with the smooth heat of the chili. (Of course, well buttered made from scratch cornbread is not an option but a necessity.)

He voted for Citizens United, he can F all the way off. And enabled fascism by making up the idea that a president could have absolutely immunity with regard to the law.
Trump enablers always seem so surprised when he inevitably turns on them. The President has proverbially called for the MAGA public to 'rid himself of this troublesome priest,' time after time. Including his former Vice President and many members of the Supreme Court.
MAGA is popular because it condones the worst people that you can be a terrible person without repercussions. Fortunately, life doesn't function that way and they wonder why the world doesn't coddle their terrible decisions.

Especially since he disassociated with Epstein YEARS before he was arrested and there's nothing of value in the Epstein Files pertaining to Trump.

Nope. Scotus should actually take a page out of the Warren court on desegregation cases and simply summarily reverse the lower court decisions, injunctions, and stays that are contrary to law.
No need to write elaborate opinions on matters like District Court Murphy's disregard for law and precedent that took three times for the 1st Circuit to finally slap down.
The whole mess created by the idiotic and segregation era blue slip policy is something else that Scotus needs to clean up. A committee policy that denies a president the right to appoint people and for the Senate to either confirm or reject that appointment means that we are separating law into blue states and red states along with district attorneys. That undermines the whole appointment provision in the Constitution.
The whole senatorial courtesy idiocy is a tradition, not the Constitution and fwiw, Congress trying to invest courts with the power to appoint District Attorneys is patently unconstitutional if you take a view of a unitary executive.

The Morning Report — 3/18/26
Residents across Northeast Ohio got a shock the morning of St. Patrick's Day. A bright fireball streaked across the sky around 9:00 a.m., visible in multiple states before a loud boom rattled homes from Cleveland into parts of Pennsylvania and New York. Windows shook, phones lit up, and, for a moment, people wondered if something far more serious had happened. The object started as a small asteroid about six feet wide, weighing close to seven tons, and entered Earth's atmosphere at more than 40,000 miles per hour. The fireball first became visible about 50 miles above Lake Erie near Lorain, traveling roughly 34 miles before breaking apart about 30 miles above Valley City in Medina County. The breakup produced the flash and the shockwave people felt on the ground. . . The energy released reached about 250 tons of TNT, which sounds large until you place it next to a historical benchmark. The Tunguska blast in Siberia in 1908 released between 10 and 15 megatons of energy. The difference isn't small: Tunguska was tens of thousands of times more powerful and flattened more than 800 square miles of forest. . . . . . The fireball over Ohio didn't bring destruction, but it offered a clear reminder of what moves through space every day. A slightly larger object, a lower breakup point, or a different angle could've changed the story. Cleveland heard the boom and felt the shake, then went back to their day. That outcome wasn't guaranteed. It was luck.Depending upon how one considers what we here at the HQ refer to as the SMOD, the Sweet Meteor of Death, the aforementioned luck was either good or bad. In any case, wow. Forget about mining asteroids, if some egghead out there wanted to make a fast buck, figure out a way to weaponize asteroids to bring them down on Red China, Iran, Russia or whoever and then con the War Dept. or Sandia to give you a few hundred million to develop a prototype. It'd be the perfect cover for a first strike on an enemy that left no evidence. Moving on from the Science FRICTION department to other things that rub the wrong way . . . Like the National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent whose letter of resignation was a transparent attack on President Trump and his almost total evisceration of the globalist America last/never foreign policy of Foggy Bottom/Langley et al.
99% of the time when a local politician goes national, turns out to be a squish or a quisling, there were warnings locally. And most of the time people at the national level didn’t pay attention. I remember trying to break through the social media bubble of everyone who enjoyed Chris Christie’s viral video takedowns to get out the message that he was a fraud, that he had actually implemented every liberal policy and was an Islamic apologist. For many people it didn’t sink in until that hurricane photo with Obama. For others it didn’t sink in until he stabbed Trump in the back. . . he got the counterterrorism job as some sort of consolation prize for losing elections. But there were warnings that Joe Kent was not what he seemed to be when he first ran for office. Ex-CIAers who run for office should be treated with extra scrutiny. And Kent scrambled to explain why he was a registered Democrat who had voted for Bernie Sanders. His explanation that he was trying to help Trump win and sabotage Dems was fishy. . . . . . Anyone talking about an alliance between the Left and the Right, dismissing MAGA and America First, is out to take down America. This is exactly what we used to call RINOs before they got smart and started trying to disguise themselves as MAGA. But in the end, they always out themselves. Kent sure did. Long before this happened, we should have listened to the local conservatives.Well, there's the stabbing in the back and then there's the full frontal assault.
Susan Rice, who played leading roles in the Obama and Biden administrations, has broken a Washington code of silence by threatening that anyone who plays ball with the Trump administration will suffer payback the next time Democrats take control. ‘When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, it’s not going to end well for them.’ ” she said on a podcast. “They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” Rice added. She is no stranger to dirty tricks, having been involved in the Obama administration’s spying on Trump’s 2016 White House campaign. As such, her threat marks yet another example of how the left preaches one thing and practices the opposite. It blames Trump for destroying historic norms despite how the last two Dem presidents abused their power for nakedly partisan purposes.Meh, forget the IRGC, the greater threat to America comes from the DNC. Meh, this is nothing new. We've seen this tyranny before, with every shampeachment and every single time a rogue hack-in-black issues an injunction against this President's constitutional executive branch authority. It's all well and good to root for the freedom of the Persian people and the long suffering Cubans, but unless and until the cancer of Susan Rice and her ilk are excised from our society, it won't be long before we too go the way of Iran circa 1979 and Cuba 1959. Have a great Day!
And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
- ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY LINKS
- The fireball that Northeast Ohio residents saw, as well as the explosion they heard at 9:00 a.m. this morning, was an asteroid that broke apart over the greater Cleveland area, NASA said.

- If the remnants of Iran’s government confirm his death, he will be the highest-level leader of the terrorist regime to be eliminated since Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei died in the first hour of the war, and he could prove to be a greater operational loss than the elderly cleric was.

- Trump isn’t compelled to end the Iran war on terms less favorable than he deems desirable. Why should he?
Defining Victory Over Iran
- For anyone who questions whether Israel and the United States should have attacked Iran, I suggest looking at the Iranian behavior with clarity, not with emotions. They used forbidden weapons against their own citizenry. They have used forbidden weapons against their own Arab neighbors. They have attacked Israel with no intent other than to harm and kill civilians. This is the definition of an evil regime.
Iran Shows That It Is Truly Evil and Must Be Stopped
- Unlike the Kurds in 1991, the Iranians of 2026 will have a genuine chance to wrest their freedom because of five key reasons . . . In hindsight, because of President Bush’s political calculations, the Kurds never stood a chance. They were like a lamb to the slaughter. But President Trump is no President Bush. This time, the rebels can win.
The Iranian People WILL Overthrow Their Government, Even Though the Iraqis Couldn’t, Because…
- It's not about the lie, but what it's distracting from. . .What looks like crazy lies to you and me is really a sophisticated ad targeting program that takes in demographic data and outputs enemy propaganda. Does it work? Of course it does. That’s why so many have climbed on board. (This is why the Democrats have the voting base they have (aside from illegal aliens and dead people-jjs)

Censored, Dismissed, Confirmed: History of Blood Clots & COVID Vaccine Debate THE 2020 and SUBSEQUENT ELECTION HEISTS , SHENANIGANS/FRAUD and AFTERMATH - I think that the biggest proof that election fraud is a huge, ongoing issue is in the Democrats' insistence that it is nonexistent or extremely rare. Anyone truly concerned with election integrity would at least allow for the possibility that it is — or could be — a serious problem that should be safeguarded against. If Democrats were saying something like, "Look, we want secure and transparent elections too, we just don't agree with the kinds of protections that you want," I might think that they weren't complete fraudsters. Instead, their position is essentially, "Move along...nothing to see here!" They're like kids who just broke a lamp in the other room and are trying to keep their parents from going in there to see it by pretending that there never was a lamp.

- The Save America Act would require proof of citizenship and an ID to register to vote or to vote in federal elections, which ought not to be controversial at all but which made RINOs like John Thune and Thomas Massie dither with anxiety and which absolutely enraged Democrats. Donald Trump had sworn not to sign any more legislation until the Senate actually passes the Save Act, since the legislation is key in this midterm election year, so the next obvious step is for Republican senators to pass it.

Preferred candidate should have experience I. Public speaking, hating Jews and Excel. Enthusiasm required - someone who puts the "ya" Ayatollah.
It went on from there.

We then drove around The Soldiers and Sailors Monument, drove past the American Legion National Headquarters, and the State House. After that we headed towards home and stopped for early dinner, and a stroll through a flea market style vendor mall.
Today, my back and hips hate me and I'm doing two loads of laundry. Also need to clean the living room and kitchen. Hubbymayhem is going to be working on a birthday present for our grandson. He is building a rocking horse that looks like a giraffe. It's the cutest damn thing ever. It's also his first detailed woodworking project. A glitch or two have been resolved and we are getting close to finished!

Kent is a hardcore conservative too. Conservatives used to have different political opinions but you could still live with them, but MAGA only knows how to hate and destroy.
The writing's on the wall: Noem, Bongino, Bondi. Following unlawful orders/ loyalty isn't enough for Trump's good favor because only losers are caught and held accountable.
He probably really hated that we were helping Israel, this man is an old school nazi's nazi. He says Trump was lied to. Strong "If only Fuhrer knew" vibes in his resignation statement
There are no good guys at the top levels of the trump administration. No hidden heroes, but there are awful self centered people, that can and will turn on each other.
It would be nice if people who actually know things—aka career professionals—would resign. That would make it much harder for Donald Trump to kill people around the world.
What was that TV commercial that made Donald so mad? Something about obeying illegal orders…

The law included a $3,000 personal exemption, which is equal to roughly $100,000 today. And even then, the rate was a mere 1% up to $20,000 (or $670,000 in today’s money). And the seven tax brackets topped out at 7% on incomes that in today’s dollars would exceed $17 million.
To fuck over a few rich people we took the greatest idea in taxation (apportionment to the State) and transferred the burden to the person.

With regards to Joe Kent; who referred him to the administration for the position? Who then vetted this guy? 15 minutes of digging through his social media posts would have likely revealed some issues that normally would have precluded his selection.

But that's the only bad thing he did. He doesn't like Jews, and he thinks that Jews put Trump up to this. So he quit. Big deal.
I wish him no luck in his future endeavors, because they will probably be stupid endeavors, but it's still a marked improvement on the behavior of most IC scumbags.
As a rule, these guys burrow down and work against Trump, undermining his agenda from inside the wire. If you hate our ally in the war enough that it hinders your ability to execute your duties, then you owe it to the sailors and airmen to leave. Your presence is putting them at risk.
I wish most of our foreign service and intelligence agents would flounce like this, or preferably more quietly, but whatever. Israel seems to be handling most of the intelligence legwork on this job, anyway.
Trump's entire foreign policy is to isolate and weaken China, who our military and foreign service leadership all work for. In the coming struggles, I expect to see many of them do far worse than this guy. Trump's fight with them isn't about Israel, but about their country - China.

Federal rules are pretty lax on enforcing sick leave, especially with all the various union rules. Doubly so during shutdowns and furloughs, as leave often isn't charged. It's a mess.

But in terms of war aims, I think the other guy the Israelis assassinated - Soleimani - was the bigger deal, since he was the Basij commander.
Since the beginning of Trump's increasingly belligerent position against Iran, he's been backing a popular uprising. I think the bloodthirsty street militias are a bigger impediment to that than a severely degraded military and IRGC.

A “Let’s get him” attitude colored the two-year investigation into false claims that Trump and his advisers colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election, the unidentified agent said.
The allegations were first made in December 2020, when the agent was interviewed as part of an internal FBI probe into alleged misconduct by then-supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten — a central figure in both the Russia collusion hoax and the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up.

As of Tuesday, Ford has been deployed for 266 days. Should Ford remain deployed through mid-April, it will break the post-Vietnam War 294-day record for carrier deployments. USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) set that record in 2020. If the carrier stays out until early May, it would rival the 300-day-plus deployments that carriers conducted to the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War.

Israel was reborn two weeks after I was born in 1948 so at 78, this month, I'm one of the youngest of the Fig Tree generation. That clock is ticking.

One single gun control law would reduce gun crimes in America to levels below Europe:
Ban all gun ownership by any black male under the age of 40.
Similar to the left's solution to drunk driving: Ban alcohol and ban driving.

I'm sure I've told this story before but, apparently, several years back, some UK company was working on an expert system for analyzing x-rays. The system could tell you, with 98% accuracy, the race of the person who's x-ray it was analyzing. Radiologists said that was impossible since everyone's skeletal structure is the same. So they shut the system down.
No attempt to figure out why it was almost always correct. Must be rayciss. The refusal to see the truth, to question assumptions, will kill us all in the end.

The surge in PPI came due in large part to a 0.5% increase in services costs, something the Fed would not welcome. Policymakers have attributed much of the recent run-up in inflation to tariffs, which would not show up as much on the services end. Goods prices rose 1.1% on the month.
Food prices rose 2.4% while energy was up 2.3%. Within food, the index for fresh and dry vegetables soared 48.9%
===================
Since tariffs don't apply to most food imports and the services sector is domestic, ie not a tariff economic activity, we can conclude tariffs had little to do with this number.

The people in this administration who broken the law and federal agents who broken the law need to be held accountable.

I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.
But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

Sweden’s foreign minister confirms that Iran has executed a Swedish citizen, after Iranian authorities announced the first execution of a man convicted of spying since the start of its war against Israel and the United States.
“It is with dismay that I have received information that a Swedish citizen was executed in Iran earlier today,” Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard says in a statement.
Since the man’s arrest during Iran’s 12-day war with Israel in June, Sweden has “repeatedly raised the case at various levels with Iranian representatives,” she adds.

No endorsement.
And Trump said he'll not endorse anyone who votes against the SAVE Act.
The deadline for Paxton to drop out is 5pm today. Otherwise, he remains on the ballot and the run-off must be held.
Discussed a few days ago, but we don't want the SAVE Act passed until mid to late July.*
Under SCOTUS precedent, court's can't issue injunctions against election laws if the election is pending. The TX redistricting case put that at 90 days or less.
Meaning, pass in July, courts issue their injunctions, SCOTUS will be forced to void the injunctions.
*in the alternative, pass it now and time the injunctions to late July/August. Which would be the timing of a permanent injunction after hearing if passed now.

My retort:

* It's kinda funny that 3rd world became economic. When it was: 1st world = US and its allies. 2nd world USSR and its allies. 3rd world = any nation not aligned with either.

As an erstwhile Republican voter, I would have appreciated it if my candidates had been so straightforward to come right out and say "man, do I ever hate you and your entire culture and lifestyle. If you vote for me, I plan to fuck all y'all straight in the ass."
It could've saved me a lot of time.

AI, as in an LLM, will return whatever it is told to.
You could design a system that just reads the text of the Constitution, federalist papers, and the debates by both sides when the Constitution, BoR, and various amendments were passed and get quite good answers.
But the left would never, never allow that

Trump brands Dem. candidate James Talarico ‘insult to Jesus’ for pro-trans stance. Trump refused to confirm who he would endorse in the primary, but claimed the “good news” is that Talarico, “is whacked out, with his six different forms of gender”.
Is Trump really the best arbiter for what insults Jesus? "Two out of two Corinthians agree!"
James Talarico is the top example of what Christians should be and MAGA Christians don't like that.
I think they just secured Talarico the punk vote. This has far more punk energy than Beto. I wish it didn't have to risk Ken Paxton winning for James to make it.
I’ve never liked politicians until Talarico. He’s a great example of a politician who cares. He uses his Christianity for good not bad like MAGA does. He’s an actual “love thy neighbor” Christian. Not a phony fundamentalist.

@JamieMetzl
I am a Democrat. I served in the Clinton administration. I did not vote for Donald Trump and am highly unlikely to support him or his acolytes in the future. I also have serious disagreements with many of the Trump administration’s domestic and foreign policies.
But it is profoundly disturbing that a growing segment of the far left appears to be almost rooting for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other forces fundamentally opposed to the United States and our allies. This seems to reflects a corrosive strain of anti-Americanism, dressed up in postcolonial theory, that risks blinding us to the moral realities of our world and the nature of our adversaries.

Reagan and Obama both did not set up great successors. I think Trump is giving people like JD and Rubio great on the job training to lead. But I don't know if anyone, even them, has the chutzpah Trump does to push forward on MAGA, and not give an inch to the dems.

Then there was the French kiss moment with Obama when Christie was looking for federal assistance with hurricane sandy. I’m pretty sure Obama demanded the photo op to bolster his reelection by reminding Christie how he had just let Texas burn. Those Texas wildfires could be seen from space.

"It passed all the unit tests, the shape of the code looks right," he said. It's 3.7x more lines of code that performs 2,000 times worse than the actual SQLite. Two thousand times worse for a database is a non-viable product. It's a dumpster fire. Throw it away. All that money you spent on it is worthless."

The downside of the Sky is it going to require you to cash in a lot more soda bottles at the recyclers to afford it. On the plus side you get a power cord that falls out without runing the computer when your cat, whacked out on catnip, attacks the power cord.

I'm thinking of picking up a Neo or Air as my third attempt at owning an Apple product. I'm approaching this decision with great trepidition. My first try was an iPod which I eventually pitched over a fence cuz iTunes drove me crazy on my Windows box. Then I tried out an iPad last November and I couldn't get rid of that quick enough because it kept permanently locking me out of the machine. The only recourse for that was to go to the Apple store and have them flatten it for me. I fondly remember that iPad as the device where I honed my skills setting up iPads.

Yesterday, out in the 'burbs, I lucked into a deal. Fresh Market -- which usually has prices in the same stratosphere as Whole Paycheck -- offers a Tuesday Special, a 12" fresh-made pizza, several topping choices, for just $5.00. I grabbed a pepperoni, and we heated it back up for dinner last night. Quite, quite good.
Yeah, there was an extra savor from getting a $9.99 pizza for $5. But you take your fun where you can find it.

In my planning for a trip to Kansas (possible relocation! Yay!), I checked into flying from the smaller Baton Rouge airport, ninety minutes' drive up the Interstate. It's a hair cheaper, but not enough to compensate for, well, ninety minutes' drive. I don't expect the Totally Standing Around lines to be much better there, either. I'll just drive -- and that too will be quite a bit cheaper than flying and renting a car.

Produced it in less than a minute.
I also asked it to create a client facing email for a change order following the standard template.
Did that in seconds.
Asked it to create a RACI and stakeholder register from an executed proposal, did that in seconds.
Asked it to summarize, provide a decision, action, risk register of a meeting minutes transcript in executive summary format.
Did that in seconds

Yeah, if you have a small, well-defined scope of work and everything exists in text form - locally or on the web - it can transform A into B very effectively.
Give it something big and complicated like rewriting an entire database library and what it can't do is "chunk" the work - it tries to globalise the project rather than doing top-down or even bottom-up design, blows through its context limit, and loses its marbles.

Search for "set default apps" in your settings. You can choose media player in there.
Also when it next pops up the "open with" box, theres the option to "use always". Select the app and that option and it won't ask you again. Note that this will not keep you from using the other app but anytime you open that file type again it will use the selection you provided.

There are many many campgrounds around, some in places you could never have a house because of the cost, or simply because there are no houses there. State parks, for example.
We will go down to St Simons Island in a couple of months and stay near the beach for $50 a night. Wolfus, you do not need to spend $100k on an RV, there are plenty of nice ones out there for less than half of that.

----- What are ya drinkin' today, lads and lassies? Want something other than green beer or Guinness (or my preferred Irish stout - Murphy's)? The ONT has you covered! 32 St. Patrick’s Day Cocktails To Bring You Extra Luck This Year
St. Patrick's Day is all about the booze. So why not make a cocktail that will be sure to impress? Even if you're avoiding the bar crawl (we totally get it), you can still have a little fun with your drinks at home. This holiday is all about the drinks, so don’t let it pass by without jazzing up what you’re imbibing (even if it's just adding a little green to your beer). Lucky you, we’ve got everything from bright green cocktails to boozy milkshakes. Check out the list of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day drinks to get some inspiration (and likely feel the luck of the Irish as well). And who knows, you just might find a pot of gold (or a Gold Rush cocktail) at the end of the rainbow!Check out the link and let us know which one is yer favorite! ----- Kewl Solar System Stuff

----- To our Rocky Mountain Hordelings -- be careful out there! 5 Most Rattlesnake Infested Areas in The Rockies
Running all the way from Canada to the northern section of New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains support a vast array of ecosystems from deserts to prairies to cold alpine slopes. The most common species you'll find here are the prairie rattlesnake and western rattlesnake. Towards the New Mexico region, you might also find the large Western diamondback rattlesnake, or the small mottled rock rattlesnake, or the massausaga rattlesnake in southeastern Colorado. These rattlesnakes play a key role in their ecosystems by keeping certain pest populations like mice under control and preventing prairie dogs from overpopulating the land. In the vast majority of cases, these snakes will ignore humans or use their rattles to warn humans to stay away. However, if a person ignores these warnings or accidentally steps on them, it can lead to a bad bite. If left untreated, many of these rattlesnakes are capable of killing a human with their venom. The best way to prevent this from happening is simply being aware of where you might encounter rattlesnakes. Here are 5 of the most rattlesnake-infested areas in the Rockies to be on the lookout for them.

Joe Kent resigning made today a bit interesting. C2 Underground has been trending more and more towards the "This is BAD" (subtly) on his YouTube missives lately. He's good (I think) but it's become more overt. Also Fine. But today he made the Joe Kent thing some huge deal and that Kent was a major player in all of this so him resigning means things are bad etc. No mention of his new wife and her entanglements but whatever.
Just interesting what value people place on stuff like this.

But hey. the hospital I was born in is now a derelict brick wreck, likely filled with bums and the restless dead. Got that going for me.

I called home, asking my mom, "Did you and dad send me flowers for St. Patrick's day?" "Yes." No other explanation. This new tradition continued for the rest of my undergraduate and graduate school years, and then stopped abruptly, never to occur again. It was the weirdest, and longest, prank my parents ever pulled on me. To be fair, though, I'm not Irish.

There is nothing creepier than an abandoned hospital. I had the keys to one, while I worked on the plans for demolishing it, and had to walk through it several times. Thankfully, it was only a single storey building with just one basement level. I only went there during daylight hours and was greatly relieved when it was turned into just an open pit in a field.

True story. When I moved to PR a buddy and I decided we would drive to FL and visit his brother who lived on a boat in West Palm Beach and then fly from there. Back then you could get a free ride to FL by delivering a car for a snowbird. You didn't get paid but gas was free.
We got a yellow Lincoln Continental. Total pimp mobile. It had an FM stereo and we were constantly flipping stations along I-95 when the local signal would die. We heard Free Bird over 20 times from Boston to WPB in 3 days. No matter where we were it followed us. Couldn't listen to the song for years after that.

I was born in the Navy Hospital at Camp Lejeune, NC. I suppose that it still is there. Dad was learning to fly at an airfield near Kinston through a firm named Stallings, which, come to think of it, is not a good name for a flight instruction firm. I don't know about my sister's birthing place around Houston (Dad was still in the Air Force).
The place where my two brothers were born was converted into a veterans' facility in my hometown.

================
I once had dinner at a place in San Fran called Poppleton's that was too good to last. I was intrigued by the "Tangerine Gimlet" on the cocktail menu and ordered it. It was then, for the first time, that I understood the artistry of a great bartender. The drink was so delicious and beautiful, cold and satisfying and fresh -- that was fresh tangerine juice, I kid you not -- I measure that drink against all others everywhere, and I've never found its equal.
I once googled up the dead Poppleton's but I couldn't find out anything about the bartender. I'd follow that person to the ends of the earth.

Always thought, somebody's not doing it right. Or I'm missing a metaphor or something.
Reminds me of that p0rn I once accidentally watched. Do any of you gentlemorons like having your lemons squeezed? Or munched on? Seemed less that optimal to me. Kind of a male equivalent of a woman saying, wrong hole! Or something. (walks off, whistling)

True story. When I moved to PR a buddy and I decided we would drive to FL and visit his brother who lived on a boat in West Palm Beach and then fly from there. Back then you could get a free ride to FL by delivering a car for a snowbird. You didn't get paid but gas was free.
We got a yellow Lincoln Continental. Total pimp mobile. It had an FM stereo and we were constantly flipping stations along I-95 when the local signal would die. We heard Free Bird over 20 times from Boston to WPB in 3 days. No matter where we were it followed us. Couldn't listen to the song for years after that.
Posted by: JackStraw at March 17, 2026 10:46 PM (viF8m)
I made several vacation break drives from college in upstate NY to my parents house just south of WPB in the late '70's with the same snowbird deal. Except I had to pay my own gas. I would do it in about 28 hours straight with the 55 mph speed limits.
One trip the song Native New Yorker from Odyssey followed me all the way down until near dawn outside Savanna where WABC faded out into Farm Reports and late night preachers.....

Minesweepers used to be built of wood, so as not to detonate magnetically-triggered mines. I expect there is a much better way now to deal with such mines, so the old wooden hulled minesweepers are obsolete.

What he’s saying isn’t true. The decommissioned ships had wooden hulls but were well beyond their expected service lifetime. The replacements use standoff technology to locate and disable/detonate mines, and thus are at far less risk of being damaged.
Posted by: Tom Servo at March 17, 2026 11:43 PM (Li94Y)
Just not true. Two years ago the Mets closer, Edwin Diaz, blew out his knee at the WBC and missed the entire season. The owners have a lot of say in what players can do because they are paying them astronomical amounts of money.
Even the reporting tonight talked a lot about the large number of big stars playing for the US at the WBC because in the past a lot of them didn't play. Even the pitchers that did pitch were all on team mandated pitch counts. And this is pre-season. I don't see the owners being this generous in the middle of the season but we'll see.

All much too expensive. IIRC, John Wayne's yacht, the Wild Goose was a former minesweeper, built in 1942, and decommissioned in 1946. A beautiful little ship.

If Iran deploys mines, why would the US military need to remove them? Let the navies of countries who need those sea lanes open do the job.

It would be nice, but it's a global market. If they can't get oil from Iran, they'll start buying it from the places we get it, and drive the prices up.
We're an exporter, so they could buy from us (yeahright). But still: global prices up, prices at the pump up.

Iran is pretty much depleted of ships that can lay the large numbers of mines needed to make an effect minefield. The Strait is 25 miles across, and it's basically an American lake now. Any vessel setting out from port in iran is going to get the hairy eyeball, or simply be sunk on suspicion.

It's much harder now that I have to calculate where I am financially every quarter and figure out if I'm having enough withheld from the various pensions and social security and what not.

Should charge those countries that need escort through the Straight just $10 / barrel for "insurance". If their ship gets sunk they get a refund. Do this until the Lloyds feels comfortable reinstating their full insurance package.

I'm not sure we got slammed actually. We had 2 snows here. one was maybe 8" and the other big one, maybe 18" here, but that big one wasn't as big as we had in the past. We also didn't have ice around here. We used to get a bunch of normal snows. 1 year we had 19 snow storms, but its been probably 15 years since that happened. We had a bunch of years with no snow at all, and one january was mostly 60 degree days. Its always a mixed bag but in general we haven't had the snows we normally get. It goes in cycles though. This year wasn't super cold like a few years ago when it was 4 degrees on new years eve. we might have had a few days of high teens,and maybe a few in the 20's, but for the most part its been in the 30's.

I promise not to go down the rabbit hole of Cheech and Chong clips tonight.
Off work now. Beer cracked.
Just got caught up on local news. The little Sikh owned store down the street from me got robbed at gunpoint Sunday afternoon. I missed it by about an hour. Went to get a beer and a hand scribbled note was on the door.
"Due to unforseen circumstances we are closed Indefinately"
Dudes bail is $250,000.
Fucking idiot. I helped the owner set up the cameras. If you are within 30 feet of that building your ass is easily identifiable.
Caught with a mountain of speed too.

JQ, if I didn't have a critical mass of kin and had to choose from just any arbitrary place in the U.S., I don't know. There is such a massive variety. I would probably just move further south or east to an even less populated part of Oregon, since I do like the place a lot, just the people leave something to be desired with so many busybodies and stickyfingers.

A hair under 2 acres, probably 1 acre clear that has to be mowed, maybe a bit less. Hard to say. they got 2 dudes on those stand up mowers that rip. one does the front, the other does the back and sides, 1 dude runs around with the weedwacker, then 1 or 2 of those guys will grab the leaf blower and blow everything clean. It's 15-20 minutes. They haul ass. The lawn mowers are fast. They rip back and forth on those things, and they never cut in the same direction, they change every week. People love the company, pretty big operation and the reviews are great.

Integers always have implicit leading zeros. You can pad out with zeros to the left, as many as you need to meet the size requirements of a field, and it is mathematically the same number.

I have no use for a tele at all. I did play one for years as a kid. My father bought it new, didn't like it, gave it to me when I was around 11-12, played the frets off of it by the time I was 15, then started playing gibsons. It was a nice guitar, very easy to play, but not for metal. It did ok with a stomp box, but by the time I was 15-16 I was looking to upgrade to more serious stuff. I still have most of it and the original case, and the neck is missing, but I got a replacement. The body needs to be refinished and some small parts acquired.

I was just looking at Gibsons the other day, since I couldn't remember why I didn't even have any on my wishlist, and they are all so expensive. They don't even have an equivalent to the Fender Player II level. By the time I found a model I wanted to wishlist, oops, already $1800. Yeah, I have no idea what I would even be looking for in a guitar that far in the money future.

I would like another one, but I couldn't stay light on my feet and come and go when I want, or lock up the house and vanish for a few days. Most people around me have dogs though, so I'm always around them. The one shop I work out of has a dog, so I'm around that one a lot. The dude that lives next to the shop pops in a lot with his dog when they are out walking. Another shop I occasionally work out of has a dog. I'm dogged out by the end of the day, in a good way. When I get home my dog shift is over. lol

The old Nawlins "Yat" dialect sounded like Brooklynese, generated by some of the same factors (e.g., a port, mixing of Irish and German with other speech flavors). It's fading now; you can hear it in some of the 'burbs and on the North Shore of the lake. But the old neighborhoods have changed too much.

If Mr Tea has contacts in the industry and can get an interview, this can work to his advantage. “Hey, look. I’m one of the guys who messed up. This is why it’s important. This is why I will never make that mistake again and this is how I will encourage everyone around me to follow protocol. Down to the details.”

I, personally, prefer Jameson... in the bottom class. When you move up the age (and price) ladder, Bushmill Black is superior.
Both brands are owned by the same corporation, but the Bushmill distillery is located outside Belfast, in Northern Ireland, part of the UK, while the Jameson distillery is in the Genuine Mickey Republic of Eire.

You will both have to get thru some anger and sadness and even guilt. Try to balance expectations with reality because it will take time for Mr.Tea to adjust to being unemployment first, and then to start from scratch applying for a (jobs) again.
If you can, be the one certainty he has right now , stick to a schedule and still allow yourselves something you enjoy that takes the weight off, so you can smile and be happy in between the hard times.

Being 29 and unemployed, I feel no need to risk my life to save 15 seconds or accommodate other drivers. I seem to have found that sweet spot in merging into traffic circles in which some other drivers feel I'm too aggressive and others that I'm not aggressive enough. (This supports my theory that people are assholes.) I sometimes respond to their beeps by beeping back shave and a haircut two bits. I suppose I could use Morse code to beep "f*ck you" but I'm not sure they'd understand.

Finding good sources is hard which is why the mainstream media could lie and cheat with abandon for decades. No one much called them out on it.
I use triangulation techniques myself as that is about the best one can do in a fast changing and uncertain news atmosphere where you know you are only getting about a 1/3 or less of the truth from any one source.
Common sense helps for example Kent's resignation right before Patel and his boss Tulsi go to testify before Congress over election tampering by foreign powers.
Tells me that Kent is a shitbird along with his inconsistent Libertarian 2012-19--Democrat from 2019-2021, then GOP from 2022-26. Plus his remarriage to a woman working for Max Blumenthal on "The Grayzone". Max is a son of Sid "Vicious" Blumenthal who was key Clinton badguy in all sorts of evil disinfo and lying ops for them.

Nowadays, even 13 year old boys have seen female tits and far more and yet Gen Z is having less sex than the previous three generations did. Barely even dating.
Must be that diminishing marginal utility at work here.

Not being physically around the opposite sex is part of it too. Porn and then Tinder is a poor substitute...but that's what the current gen seems to be using. Plus Filters and TikTok/Instagram are really inflating expectations. So hot guys are getting ALL the tail and normal guys are left in the cold, masturbating on the internet alone.

No joke. When I first got my office as a junior faculty, I was situated in the English Dept. Unbeknownst to me, they were engaged in a Civil War between the Lit Analysis crowd that wanted to teach their weird little subspecialities and the English Comp faculty that had to teach basic English I and II composition.
Nasty dirty little civil war in that department as a result and I stayed in that office for about three years. For me it was great as I had a parking lot right outside my office.

Quick Hits
Members of antifa are threatening to kill the wife of the judge who is about to sentence the nine terrorists who attacked police at the Prairieland ICE station.
Members of Antifa have threatened violence and accused the wife of a judge of being a fan of "white supremacist" Charlie Kirk in the wake of nine members of the militant far-left group being found guilty of various charges, including terrorism-related charges, on Friday. In the wake of Kirk's September killing during a Utah campus stop, US District Judge Mark Pittman's wife wrote, "Keep spreading the Good news, Bishop. The world needs it more than ever. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!" An Antifa member screenshotted her Facebook post and posted it to X, writing that Pittman's wife "is a big fan of white supremacist Charlie Kirk."Evidence of that? She said it was sad that an innocent man had been shot in the throat in front of his children. So, you know: White supremacist.
Nine total members of a North Texas Antifa cell were convicted on various charges on Friday for an attack on a Texas ICE detention facility in July in which an officer was shot. Eight of the nine defendants were found guilty of providing material support to terrorists. Additional charges the defendants were found guilty of include rioting, use of an explosive device, and attempted murder."Protect Trans Kids," huh?
Tony Shaffer 🇺🇲☢️That post links this article from Revolver News. I saw Chris Murphy crying about some of these rogue FBI agents who got fired, claiming that they were key "counter-terrorism" agents and their firing might have caused the four (4!) Muslim terrorist attacks in the last two weeks. Well explain this to me then, Chris: If they were so critical to hunting down terrorists, why were they considered superfluous enough that they could be detailed to searching Melania Trump's underwear drawers? Is this real? I think so but I'm not sure: An Iranian plays the sound of a drone over his boombox, and Basij street thugs go running. I tend to think it's fake just because, well, they'd shoot you for that. They're shooting machine guns blindly into people's apartments just for singing and dancing.
@tspooky The @FBI used over 40% of its foreign counter intelligence division's budget on targeting @realDonaldTrump and his associates in 2016 and 2017 - people need to go to jail...
Matt Van SwolMurkowski voted "Nay," of course.
@mattvanswol 🚨#BREAKING: North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis COMPLETELY MISSED THE VOTE on the motion to move forward the SAVE Act. He didn't show up. Absolutely unbelievable.
All of the left is mourning the passing of Austere Religious Scholar Ali Larijani. They are all working from the script provided to them by, I assume, Iran Echo Chamber conductor Ben Rhodes -- this man who ordered the massacre of 30-40,000 Iranians last month alone was "a moderate" who you could "do business with" and now that he's dead, Trump has no "off-ramp" from his disastrous war which he's totally losing.
Like clockwork, BBC airs a glowing eulogy of Ali Larijani.
— The Persian Jewess (@persianjewess) March 17, 2026
Larijani oversaw the massacre of tens of thousands of Free Iran protesters just two months ago.
But BBC calls him “moderate” and “a man you could maybe do business with.”
Absolute trash.
pic.twitter.com/QjZrMVWoKX
In 2012 Nicholas Kristof took his kids on a road trip across Iran, along a route set by the Iranian regime. Then he wrote columns about it whitewashing the regime. Now he's praising Larijani, who threatened to murder President Trump, as "strong and pragmatic leader." https://t.co/Hn9t36KB87 pic.twitter.com/wdTIjLRZcr

Its called a hash because it is any bits of meat and veggies left over chopped fine and cooked up for breakfast. I even buy the cans of hormel corned beef hash in case I cook a breakfast. Then I forget to include it when I do cook breakfast, so it remains.

But I can see their entire internet of supporters have been activated.
The entire left had built their Middle East rhetoric on ensuring Iran made sure terrorists always had state sponsors to back up Democrat policies.
How much DNC funds came from Iran?
I'll bet most of those billions in crypto Iran had been laundering was to get the money back to Obama, who had thought it was safe forever in Iran.

The frequent tours, the fact that there was no end in sight and then the way Iraq sputtered out and Afghanistan was a debacle was crushing.
And then we got happy, hippie-type messages from command telling us to work through our feelings which only added to incandescent levels of rage at how we had wasted our lives for NOTHING. I never deployed to a combat zone (though the airport shuttle to Ramstein was shot up after I went back home) nor did I hear a shot in anger, but I know people who were messed up and lost friends. And then to lose...it was hard.
Thumping Iran is like a healing balm.

The government won on most of its charges, including convicting defendants for moving a box of radical zines.
If trump can start arresting ppl and calling them enemies of the state, he can arrest anyone, anytime. And that's exactly what Hitler ended up doing.
Women couldn’t vote 100 years ago and Black people couldn’t move freely about the country until just over 50 years ago. We’ve never been as free as we’ve been led to believe.
This was all made legal by the NDAA under Obama. Trump can personally declare anyone a terrorist and have you assassinated. The trials are just for terrifying others into compliance. He stepped right into the perfect situation to be a dictator.
This is an absolutely chilling moment for free speech & expression in the United States and shows how the Trump administration is ramping up its persecution of leftists, seemingly trying to head us into a Third Red Scare.
Don't be ridiculous. There was strong evidence of terrorism like... *checks notes* ...using the signal app?

There is necessarily a lag between identifying the networks and rolling them up, just as it takes time to bring a federal case and see it through. As reports of these people getting hard time spread, enthusiasm will drop. Loss of funding will also be crippling.
The Tesla thing ended very quickly in part because it was actual normies who thought they could get away with it and as soon as they found out, it stopped. Antifa is "professional" insofar as they are getting paid to do it, so minor stints in jail don't bother them as they already have criminal records for sex crimes, domestic violence, etc.
That is the primary recruiting pool, but even those clowns don't want to get 20 years for the cause.

It remains a myth on the left, despite no one ever providing any proof, that there were (are) "sundown towns" in the US.
Towns where blacks would have to fear for their lives if caught there after dark.
No, we're not talking some random no-zip code, "population: 5" hamlet--we're talking full service 5k to 10k towns.
It is the American version of the "mass Indian children graves" in Canada.
To even dispute it is to be charged as a racist.

Trump is losing, for the following simple reasons:
1) The stated goal was regime change. This will not succeed. A ground invasion will not happen, which would be the only way it could conceivably happen. No matter how much of its leadership the U.S. and Israel assassinates, Iran will not stop fighting, and has indeed been hardened into fighting more.
2) The Hormuz Straight remains closed to the U.S. and its allies. There is no realistic way to change this. Trump already has given the world embarrassing optics of begging NATO allies to come be cannon fodder for such an operation. They are, quite understandably, declining to do so, since they did not choose to fight a war of choice for Israel's benefit.
Polling on support for the Iran War is well underwater, an average of 38% Approve, 49% Disapprove. It will only get more unpopular as gas prices continue to rise, causing the price of everything else to rise. Iran does not need to defeat the U.S. militarily. It just has to continue the economic chokehold until continuing the conflict becomes untenable.
Posted by: Israel Is Always Right at March 17, 2026 07:45 PM (Xkc2j)
It was already very likely the Democrats were going to take the House, as of the State of the Union. Trump has made that a certainty barring some earth-shattering miracle. The Senate is now likely in play. Trump has thrown away his Presidency for a gambit that did not pay off. In addition, no one will negotiate with the U.S. going forward for fear of it being used as cover for assassinations, and no one will fear the U.S. since Iran will have stared the United States down and won. This is the United States' Suez Canal incident. Its inability to project power in a world of asymmetric warfare is plain to see.
It did not have to be this way. I voted for the guy who wanted to secure the border, lower prices, and not do any more foreign wars. But, as Joe Kent noted, the Israeli lobby gets what it wants, not the voters. So it goes.

The GOP will hold the Senate and will probably gain a seat or two.
The House right now will probably be R+5. The dem polling margins have been roughly averaging D+3 - that is not enough to win. If SCOTUS rules as everyone expects on the VRA the dems automatically lose 5-10 seats.
The oil business will be settled very quickly, everyone knew they would do this. Trump now has his pretext to formally get out of NATO if he wishes. Europe was forced to confront that even if they wanted to, they can do nothing.
It's all the economy - always was and always will be. Iran is a blip. If the macro trends continue to strengthen the democrats have absolutely nothing to run on. Oh - and you didn't vote for Trump.

Cavernous Nostrils has been smearing Erika Kirk since a week after his murder, claiming that she was "covering up" for The Real Killers, who she has alleged at various times to be Israelis, Mormon Bee Cultists, French Intelligence, Egyptian Planes, US military personnel, etc. Lately Cavernous Nostrils has changed her attacks on Erika Kirk, now claiming she was associates with Jeffrey Epstein and groomed children for sex trafficking. When Me-Again Kelly was asked to say something about this absolute demonic horrorshow, Me-Again responded: "I'm not the mom of the internet.' But she thinks it's "disgusting" that Mark Levin routinely calls her "Granny Groyper" --like many women, and many men too (guilty!) she does not like it being noted that she is old enough to be a grandparent -- she has been demanding that various online personalities condemn Levin for "stalking" her. Here's just one example of Me-Again -- who, I repeat, said it was none of her business if Candace Owens accused Erika Kirk of arranging for her husband's murder because she's not "the mom of the internet" -- demanding that men gather 'round her to protect her from Levin's "disgusting" attacks:
Aɴᴛ
@AntSpeaks It's extraordinary how Megyn is now asking everyone around her why they didn't speak up when Mark Levin supposedly attacked her. The same woman who has made a conscious effort to ignore all the insults and accusations Candace has made against Erika Kirk over the last six months. She even went so far as to claim she had gotten close to Candace and supported her in "questioning Israel." I use this comparison a lot, but it's nevertheless accurate.. Megyn is a prime example of a stupid person who desperately believes they're smart. She was convinced she had outwitted everyone, that she was in the right, and that most would side with her. Now it's come back to bite her in the ass.
Is it just me, or....?

She means that Levin says she's a 14-year-old mean girl trapped in the botoxed body of a 55-year-old woman. And that she's a Nazi. As she did when she first learned to curse, she then went on to say "micropenis, micropenis, micropenis" over and over again, to show how Young and Brat she is. Here's the "disgusting" and "lewd" attack that provoked Me-Again into devolving back into her 14-year-old mean girl self. Does this sound "lewd" or "disgusting" to you?
Megyn Kelly
@megynkelly Micropenis Mark @marklevinshow thinks he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible. Literally more than some stalkers I've had arrested. He doesn't like it when women like me fight back. Bc of his micropenis.

Why is there so much hate for kelly? Levin literally works for israel and kelly is exposing that, if anyone is paying attention.
I get the feeling she was molested as a child. That explains the acting out and psychotic break she suffered since tRump the pedophile took office.
Knowing her history, there is a non zero chance she knows his dick size for a fact, but I am curious if it’s not his micro but her cavernous vagina.
If you've ever heard Levin in one of his stark raving lunatic rants on his radio show you would know exactly how micro his penis is without ever having to actually know details.

Yes, the claim is 5-9. But there are pics online of people who claim to be 5-9 standing next to him, and he’s much shorter. I think he’s using the old WWF method of determining height.

Kelly began going off the rails immediately in the days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. She brought a lot of drama to the party (so to speak) and I got the vibe that she was moving on to ... something.
When she refused to give Chucker Qatarlson a well earned thump or two as he veered off into the Asteroid Belt of Zaniness, I withdrew from listening to her altogether. A well seasoned Internet Granny like her can paddle her own canoe.

Carrier.
1. It's possible that no one was nearby so it spread before it was noticed.
2. Lots of surface sailors don't seem to get much training in damage control.

On point 2, if so, Yuge change from when I was in... everyone in ship's company went to fire fighting school.
But after the crap with the Bon Homme Richard? Where they couldn't even get the fire out IN PORT?
Not sure what the heck is going on.
But also... they've been at sea a long time... been extended twice. My guess is that crew is pretty damn unmotivated right now.

He was on stage at some powwow debate, and some dude said exactly that to him, that he is 5'6". Ben asked him how tall he is , the dude said "5'9". Ben told him to come up on stage and stand next to him. He did, and they were the same height. So, either the accuser was lying, or Ben is 5'9".

I went to fire fighting school. The guys from my submarine were lined up behind a group from the Carl Vinson when it came time for the engine room fire practical. It took the carrier guys 7 minutes to get the hatch open and even start fighting the fire.

Posted by: Pillage Idiot at March 17, 2026 05:20 PM
The fire itself was probably extinguished within 20 minutes. The rest of the time was likely the extra men assigned to stand guard and observe for re-ignition. The guard time was probably counted and reported as part of the firefighting watch.

Dateline June 1942. Born into a musical family, and an extraordinary violinist himself, Reinhart Heydrich also proved himself a skilled organizer and leader of men with the capability of finding solutions outside the box of traditional government power. Now he has died at the height of his power and glory.

Neither fame nor money turn you into a monster.
Keanu Reeves is widely known to be a genuinely nice guy. Trump is pretty nice to people who aren't trying to fuck him over.
What having money and fame does is it makes monsters think that they don't have to hide anymore. Sadly, in modern US society, they may be right.

Zionist "was" used by only the most ridiculous Jew haters on dark corners of the internet for a long time but now the Left has given the order to mainstream it so now it's fine.
Yes it has a meaning but honestly the only confusion is the fact that the Left now wants everyone to use it because they want their muslim friends to know that their Jew hate was always real (spoiler: it was).

This. Dumb skanks looking for status always demanded the tall guy. Decent women looking for a loyal man might be reading the minotaur milking books but were willing to reject the tall asshole and pick up whoever was decent.
Plus a lot of the short men were assholes too, a little (heh) secret there, so women sometimes had to make sure they weren't getting a bitter chud.

My radar is fine, but I will say you constantly saying how it was a "30- Hour Fire" and questioning why one of the most advanced ships in the world took that so long to extinguish "a laundry fire" (when clearly it did not) just leads me to believe you somehow wanted that situation to indicate there is a problem with our Navy.

Klacik's now ex husband ran the Baltimore strip club apparently. You can find the lawsuit on X and the settlement.
Plus Owens long history of psychological pathology in lying and targeting individuals for gain since being a teen in high school.
And that degenerate Milo has thrown in with Candace despite less than a year ago declaring that Candace's husband was hitting on him and that she was a pos.
And yes, junior high stuff which strangely attracts lots of emo crap from supplicants. I resisted going on X for a long time because even discussion boards are bad enough nowadays. X demonstrates why the Lord flooded the earth way back when. Lots of viciousness. But yet, some useful information unavailable anywhere else.

The guys running OK Cupid did a post on this years ago. The average guy on their site was 2+" taller than the average guy in America, and the curve wasn't the expected bell curve; it flattened out at the top.
In short (swidt?), the short guys added an inch or so to their height, but guys who were anywhere near 6' IRL must have listed themselves as 6'+.
There were as many 6'1" guys on the site as 5'9" guys, which just ain't how it is in America at large.

In this video he examines the "Woke Right" and explains why men of his generation are going that way.
It's a really insghtful video essay:
https://youtu.be/FTN_ZPwlmKg
I don't agree with the kid on everything, he was a flat-earher at one point, but he is fairly knowledgeable about history, culture, and social trends, and I think he nails this vid.
His basic point is that right-wing Gen Z men are play acting Nazis because the people who have tortured them through Woke/DEI their entire lives hate the Nazis so they act Nazi even though they're mostly clueless as to what the Nazis actually were.

Anna, you can do with older hardware if you use Linux. And the new Macs have the specs and performance to VLOG if you want.
Forget the fastest processor as much as get as much memory as you can and the higher the resolution, the greater need for bandwidth if doing live, and good encoding and decoding performance from your vid card.
And a good 5000 series or the AMD 9000 series vid cards can fix up an older CPU to vlog if you want if that CPU has 32 gig of memory and fast M2 SSD storage instead of the older disk or SATA III SSD.
If you plan to do AI video, then the sky is the limit--that requires serious hardware right now to look decent with acceptable frame rates or you do the online account thing and pay for a subscription.

Anna, excellent price but there is some budget stuff included and that line of Intel chips I think had some problems. There could also be troubles if you need to upgrade the power supply, and the cooling in particular may also be cheap. I would personally avoid something in this range - you get what you pay for. It's a refurb of a "budget" line of PC. It's a great deal and a trusted refurb but I would expect to pay a few hundred more for that kind of horse, and for what you want. I do generally like refurbs.

According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force. In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.

According to the IDF, the Basij set up the camp after the military struck many of the headquarters of the paramilitary force. In addition, the strike also killed the deputy commander of the Basij and other top officials in the paramilitary force, the IDF says.
The Basij is known for its role in violently suppressing anti-regime protests, and is believed to be responsible for countless deaths of Iranian civilians. Meanwhile, top Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Akram al-Ajouri and other top officials in the terror group were targeted by the IDF in a strike on Wednesday, according to the military. The military believes al-Ajouri was likely killed in the strike, but says it is still working to confirm this.
IRGC commanders are also deployed in southern Lebanon to direct Iran's proxy army Hezballah. As America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Nur would say, some people hit some buildings.

I first listened to him because he said he was left-wing BUT he thought Trump made some good points. I took him to be some kind of canary in the coal-mine for the left.
But then it became clear he was clickwhore who was just telling me whatever I wanted to hear, a service that I did not need, because I can tell myself whatever I want to hear, and I'm smarter than Tim Pool and I don't (yet) need to wear a beanie 24/7/365.
His clickwhoring brought him to the Nazi left, where he now resides.

yes, "Tuesday’s 51-48 vote cleared the way for debate in the chamber and required only a simple majority. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, was the lone Republican to join all Democrats in voting against the measure. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who had voiced concerns about wasting time that could be used for other legislating, did not vote."

Frankly most of the alternative conservative media had the problem of being willing to say anything which is compared with the rest of the conservative media that was unwilling to say bad things about the Chamber of Commerce GOP that was selling the US to foreigners.
We need a happy medium and at least by flaming off the shysters of the alt reich right, the better and more sober types are being sought out by informed consumers of news. The others like Candace Ovens are like the Rando Housewives of X reality show where faux drama and faux outrage is being sold to pig ignorant, devoid of logic, audiences for keks.

Debate. The SAVE act was brought up under a privileged message from the House and now debate on the issue has begun. We shall see what other procedural matters are raised along with amendments. Reportedly Thune is filling the tree with amendments so there is a votorama on those but not an unlimited free for all.
Cloture, either by changing the rules, Democrats crumble, or by exhaustion of all speakers (the talking filibuster) is the question as the SAVE act has the majority votes but short of the 60 for quick cloture to end debate and vote on the measure.
It may take up to 2-3 months depending on the Senate schedule for exhaustion and how many Dems want to actually speak. Meanwhile, it freezes those senators to have to stay in DC while it is going on.

As predicted, the mullahs and the IRGC are at each other's throats.
IRAN IN CHAOS: PRESIDENT WANTS OUT
"There’s a real upheaval in Iran... President Pezeshkian is considering resigning from his post."
Channel 14's Senior Iran Analyst @DBalazada
explains what inside sources tell him is happening today inside the government:
Pezeshkian is reportedly "exceptionally angry" at the Revolutionary Guards, accusing them of "reckless" conduct. He claims the failure to protect Ali Larijani was not negligence, but a deliberate move to ensure his elimination.
The IRGC is reportedly "very pleased" with Larijani’s death, having already prepared an "elimination dossier" on him and his brother.
The bottom line - Iran is transitioning into an extremist military regime where Mojtaba Khamenei acts as a mere "puppet" of the Revolutionary Guards, who completely control the country.

The good ones often are written only on X without the bug eyed video delivery from too many podcasters.
I prefer written news and analysis because it is far less tedious to pick out problematic assertions, factual inaccuracies, and jumps of logic that are often employed by carny media types.
I also read far faster than I can listen to spoken blather, mugging at the camera, etc.
If analysis requires video, stills,etc. as evidence, then worthwhile, otherwise just to hear someone ranting is worthless to me. Same usually for talk radio. Rush was fine as he was entertaining as well as factual when alternative sources were scarce. Hannity, awful and robotic.

But he said that’s not the interesting statistic. He said of the subset of scum bags he takes down for sexual assaults (esp young girls like 12-14), 80-85% are Hispanic-central and South American. He said they have zero boundaries with young girls.
So this story (as well as many others) is so unsurprising since “the youth” was Central American.

Out of a loosely defined movement of millions of people, it should be easy to find dozens, even hundreds or thousands of people who decide that their mental version of MAGA pre-2025 is now not becoming a reality for whatever reason.
Who genuinely thought that, say, Trump was all about crushing a specific regulation on the running of waterways through commercial properties that hasn't been repealed and that's why MAGA is falling apart now. And then they say it's because of wars or something and YouTube's algo promotes them.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday fired about 10 ballistic missiles toward the eastern sea, South Korea's military said, staging its own show of force as the rival South conducts a joint military exercise with the United States.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area in Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport, and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles).

The use of undocumented labor. The six bankruptcies. Stiffing hundreds of contractors. Trump University. The two dozen rape and sexual assault allegations. A single one of these would have completely derailed a major party presidential candidate in previous election cycles. Hell, we lost Howard Dean because of an akward scream in 2004. But with Trump it was different. With Trump there was so much there that our media not only chose to ignore a single thing, they chose to ignore it all."

I was never hugely worried about China as trade advantages can be rolled back as long as the rest of the world doesn't deindustrialize like the globalists wanted us to do. In terms of projecting military power their lack of land routes and sea power make it hard to get far. We and Japan both had a hell of a time even getting at each other in WWII.

Illegal Alien 19-Year-Old High School Student Keeps Groping Girls As Young as Thirteen, Between the Legs "Front to Back";
Fairfax County School District Has Covered It Up a Year and Won't Expel Him
This 19 year old high school student -- anyone want to take the under on that alleged age? Because I'll take the over -- is a junior.
I'll give you a second to recover from your shock at learning that.Matt WhitlockThey just want to "breathe" and live freely and rape your pre-teen daughters. Is that so wrong?
@MattWhitlock Absolutely radicalizing story. A 19-year-old illegal enrolled as a junior at Fairfax High has been sexually assaulting students as young as 13 ALL YEAR. Fairfax covered it up despite 12 reports from girls. Fairfax want to release him AND they won't allow him to be deported.
Descano is the Soros prosecutor who routinely drops all charges on dangerous violent criminals, especially if they're from a Protected Race.

@NickMinock 🚨New: Fairfax County parents tell me their girls were groped in between their legs front to back during school by an adult male student who happens to be an illegal immigrant and that this has been happening the entire school year. Parents are livid at Fairfax County Public Schools. Today, Steve Descano's prosecutor Jenna Sands agreed to release the suspect from jail. The judge said no. ICE lodged a detainer. ICE says Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid isn't honoring their detainer.
Here's some of his recent work:

An adult Fairfax High School student has been charged with nine counts of assault and battery amid accusations that he was groping girls in the halls during school. 7News Reporter Nick Minock was the first to break this story and spoke exclusively with the victims' parents. "There's a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault," one mother told 7News. "It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs. It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area. It had been occurring for several months." Israel Flores Ortiz is almost 19 years old, and he's in the 11th grade at Fairfax High School.This being Fairfax, Virginia, where illegal alien savages are not only permitted but encouraged to rape American citizens, the girls who reported this monster are now being bullied by the children of leftwing Kamala voting parents.
On Friday, Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith denied Ortiz's request to be released from jail, even after Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano's office agreed to Ortiz's bail request. The judge said the proposed bail request didn't properly protect the public. About a dozen girls have come forward to report that Ortiz put his hands in between their legs, grabbed their private parts in the front, and moved his hands to their butts while in the school's hallways. "What do you think about your experience so far with the school system handling this situation?" Minock asked two of the mothers, who agreed to speak on camera. "Abysmal, abysmal," one mother told 7News. "I think from the very beginning, Fairfax County has attempted to diminish what happened to these girls." Parents of several of the girls tell 7News they are furious with Fairfax County Public Schools. "They have attempted to sweep it under the rug," one mother said, "They sent out a letter last night." "After we demanded it, multiple parents demanded that there be a letter before we got it," one of the mothers exclaimed. "But it was a completely sanitized letter," the first mother continued.
The parents told 7News FCPS' description of what happened has caused bullying. "The girls have experienced harassment and bullying from peers at school, including people that they once thought were their friends, and the letter that they sent out, referencing it only as buttocks touching, just adds fuel to rumors that they were just attention seeking," one mother told 7News. ... 7News asked FCPS if they will allow Ortiz to come back to school, and why FCPS didn't address his alleged behavior sooner if it was happening all school year? ... 7News has also now learned Ortiz is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who crossed the southern border in 2024 and was released under federal government policy at that time. Immediately after his arrest last week, ICE issued a detainer for Ortiz in order to deport him, but ICE told Nick that the Fairfax County Sheriff is not honoring that detainer. "Unfortunately, sanctuary politicians like Gov. (Abigail) Spanberger are outlawing cooperation with ICE and choosing to RELEASE criminal illegal aliens from their jails back onto their communities to create more American victims," an ICE spokesperson told 7News. "We are calling on Fairfax County to honor our detainer to ensure this violent criminal is removed from our country so he can never claim another victim again."That's because the Soros prosecutor refuses to charge this as sexual battery -- only simple battery (and only because his preferred strategy of just letting this monster continue to grab 13 year old girls by the genitals caused too much heat).
Even if Ortiz is convicted, he likely wouldn't spend much time behind bars.

Like all jokes, it's funny because it's true.
Make people angry enough and the illegal problem will get solved in a MUCH less humane way.
And giving them impunity to go after people's daughters is a really great way. (If the men aren't neutered like in England.)

A wave of events honoring Cesar Chavez have been pulled amid “troubling allegations” made against the civil rights leader.
The United Farm Workers union said in a statement on Tuesday it will halt celebrations after learning of “profoundly shocking” allegations against one of the union’s Chicano founders.
The union pointed out claims have been made that Chavez “behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization’s values.
“Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on,” it read. “Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors.”
Those allegations include that “very young women or girls may have been victimized,” by its founder.

Any GOPer objecting to the groping is instantly invalidated because they haven't called for the impeachment of the groper in chief, who has literally bragged about doing so.
These are the undocumented people who should be deported, no real controversy here. placing his illegal immigrant status at the forefront of the title, rather than focusing on his actions, makes this overtly political.
How's the weather in Russia? You don’t even live in the east coast and you’re trying to create dissent here. No one is okay with assault, but that also doesn’t give credence to your anti-immigrant propaganda.
Meanwhile all the white guys that groped us at ‘Fairfax County High School’ are now in high paying government jobs.
MAGA doesn't care about girls at all, no one is fooled by this selective outrage. I went to this school and if the girls needed protection from anything it’s the white boys that go here by a mile.

It's weird. Chani's first appearance in the trailer is her loving the fact that she's having Paul's baby.
And at the end of the second film, she left in a huff because Paul wasn't being true to her.
The change to Chani is the only change that really bugs me in Villeneuve's adaptation, but I also know that he did it with a mind towards this third entry, though, you know, Chani never hated what Paul became in the sequel books.
Loved the radicalization of Jessica, though.

Early reports and speculation often called the third movie Dune Messiah (or Dune: Messiah) because that's the source material, and Villeneuve has described it as the conclusion to his trilogy focused on Paul Atreides' story. However, the studio (Warner Bros.) and official listings confirmed the title as Dune: Part Three in mid-2025, continuing the numbering pattern from Part Two rather than using the book's subtitle.
The plot will follow the events of Dune Messiah, set about 12 years after Part Two, with Paul (Timothée Chalamet) as Emperor Muad'Dib dealing with the consequences of his jihad, political conspiracies, and personal struggles—making it a darker, more introspective story than the previous entries.

He wrote one.
He wrote the second one because everyone was thinking Paul was a hero instead of a monster. So, Dune Messiah makes it very clear that he's a monster. Equated explicitly to Hitler at one point.

Which, I think, is all that really matters.

Our system has weaknesses that leftist mutants and looters are gleefully exploiting. The weaknesses exist in places where the system assumed that "no sane, accomplished person who rose through the system would do that," and "if anyone actually did that, the public would correct the problem unofficially," Used to be true, but these days, no and no.
I hate to admit it, but maybe those stuffy exclusionary intolerant patricians of the past were on to something. They got some things wrong, had blind spots, we're dealing with the results of their butt-headed failings today. But... maybe they got some things right. For better and for worse, they were part of society's immune system. Society is immunocompromised now.

The Brian Herbert sequels are genuinely better than most of Frank Herbert's Dune books.
Frank was so obsessed with the idea that he should be a god king and that god kings were inherently evil that he spent 1500 pages across 3 novels (God Emperor, Heretics, and Chapterhouse) trying to square the circle.
Brian just wanted to finish out the story.

On what planet, in what reality, can an obvious reading disability be a strength? Dyslexia is something that can be overcome, but it's not easy and will always require more "work" than someone who reads normally. Those are just facts.
If dyslexia is such a strength, what about blindness? That must be even better, right? Hell, why not go all the way and say being a deaf blind mute quadriplegic in a coma is the best thing we should all strive for.

so HOPEFULLY the service and everything for the statie who was murdered by Antifa last week (or so) will go ok, and no trouble.

It would not have been an optional lesson, and it would not have been fair. It would have been effective and longstanding.

If Gavin Newsom is really dyslexic, that's a reason for him not to be in charge, not a reason to endorse him for high office. Maybe he's lying about that like he lies about everything else. Telling stupid lies is another reason to exclude him, come to think of it. At least put some effort into it, you entitled POS.

Well, they've been raised up as beauty idols for their entire adult lives. Their entire value, almost literally, has been based off it, so as they age, they see it's fading. If they show off more skin and look like that, they'll get all sorts of praise in media about how beautiful they are, and their bold, brave fashion sense. They're just trying to keep their egos up as they lose their youth and beauty.

But he said that’s not the interesting statistic. He said of the subset of scum bags he takes down for sexual assaults (esp young girls like 12-14), 80-85% are Hispanic-central and South American. He said they have zero boundaries with young girls.
So this story (as well as many others) is so unsurprising since “the youth” was Central American.

There was a father in northern Virginia in 2021 who spoke out because the school was covering up his daughter's rape. He was thrown to the floor by the police and taken out, but bully for him.

I kinda liked the first season.
Got a few episodes into the second but couldn’t stop yawning.
I still have the free trial for Apple TV.
So I should skip it?
I watched Pub1us, grade - B.
Monarch has been disappointing, grade - C, so far.
Tehran is interesting, especially considering current events, after a few episodes, B+, but I’ll continue watching it.
That’s all I’ve had time for so far.

I don’t gaf if the dad sees their daughter or not. How about showing her you will protect her and move her and put your own life on the line to make her feel safe?
Guess who’s house she wants to go to now? The person who protected them.

Plur1bus, that’t it.
It’s like a metaphor for wokism or the progressive hive-mind or cults in general.
My biggest problem is that it’s not sure if it wants to be a sci-fi drama or dramedy, or a serious thinkpiece, and the main character is annoying as hell on occasions.
Now that they brought in the Paraguayan man it may get better in the second season just to see how they’re going to disrupt the signal and put everything right again, but based on the first season, I’m sure it’ll go in a surprising direction.
The movie F1 is on there, and Napoleon, those are two I’m interested in.

And the ones who protest, saying 'no, we didn't want this at all, we just wanted people to be nice,' can't process the fact that most people AREN'T nice. Laws, customs, and traditions COMPEL niceness out of people. They are what keep the fucking order in our society. Removing them removes the order.
Then they look around with their hands in the air like 'how did me voting to remove and undermine hundreds of years of Western civilization lead to the removal and undermining of hundreds of years of Western civilization?!?!?'

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area in Sunan, the site of Pyongyang's international airport, and flew about 350 kilometers (220 miles).

Without Oil, Cuba Is Burning
From John Sexton, the fall has begun.
WSJ:"Libertad, libertad," shouted hundreds of demonstrators as they faced off against police outside the precinct in Morón, a city of about 70,000 near Cuba's northeastern coast. Protesters then marched to the offices of the ruling Communist Party, according to the Cuban government and videos posted on social media. Residents threw rocks at the building and tried to set it ablaze. Others climbed on the building's second story and threw papers and furniture into the street, which they then set on fire. At the time of the protest, Morón hadn't had any electricity for 30 hours... Alberto Echemendía, the head of the Communist Party in Morón, held a rally of "revolutionary reaffirmation" in front of the ransacked party headquarters. "We live in complicated times," he told El Invasor, a regional official newspaper, blaming U.S. economic sanctions for the riots.

A lot of the whining from Democraps over Cuba isn't just that they don't want to see fellow commies get fucked in the ass.
It's also that Democraps are embarrassed that Trump is so easily crushing the Cuban regime, after Democraps assured us for 50+ years that the Cuban regime was big and strong, and backed unconditionally by powerful international interests, and there was absolutely nothing we could do about a hostile fascist foreign regime less than 100 miles from our shores.
Trump is embarrassing Democraps by exposing this 50-year-old lie.

Let's see...
1. Venezuela, which is being governed by the VP of the person we arrested. Not much of an overthrow there.
2. Iran. A country which declared war on the US 46 years ago but also the country to which Rhodes pledges his allegiance.
3. Cuba. A country dealing with internal issues where we've done not much really.

Ben Rhodes is hilarious. His "I Will Follow Him" lament when Trump won in 2016 is for the ages -- it's at the end of that movie, 11/8/16. He calculates his age, Obama's age, and the years they have left to fix the world together.

Ben would cheer the death of another 100 million humans because the soft pillow for his head was bought by the blood of the first hundred million and he demands that system stay in power.
I look forward to him lamenting the callouses on his hands from the rough shovel handle.
Or the coldness of his grave.

As Secretary Clinton testified in March, the United States
engagement in Libya followed the administration's strategy of "using
the combined assets of diplomacy, development, and defense to protect
our interests and advance our values." \4\ Faced with brutal attacks
and explicit threats of further imminent attacks by Muammar Qadhafi
against his own people,\5\ the United States and its international
partners acted with unprecedented speed to secure a mandate, under
Resolution 1973, to mobilize a broad coalition to protect civilians
against attack by an advancing army and to establish a no-fly zone. In
so doing, President Obama helped prevent an imminent massacre in
Benghazi, protected critical U.S. interests in the region, and sent a
strong message to the people not just of Libya--but of the entire
Middle East and North Africa--that America stands with them at this
historic moment of transition.

Trump talks about countries like he does pre-pubescent girls. Hopefully Cuba decides to become a protectorate of Mexico or Brazil before a certain pedophile tries to grab them by the you know what.
Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba." When he says 'taking' there, it sounds like he means sexually assault.
I hate him with every fiber of my being, but the fact that’s he’s right is making me hate the rest of our treasonous, ineffective government just as much.
But he is not right? He expected Iran to be like Venezuela and now he is begging "allies" to get involved in his war.

You can argue we have no business taking down tyrants. I get that argument. You can argue we should never risk our military unless a clear threat to America exists, and I get that too.
But no definition of "moral" includes protecting tyrannical regimes headed by leftist warlords.
Nobody thinks taking down Maduro was a morally bad thing to do, except Ben Rhodes, since Maduro stole elections, tortured his opponents, ran drugs, and fomented death and destruction on Venezuelan borders. Same for the Iranian mullahs. And we haven't taken down Cuba yet, but the people of Cuba appear to think they can do it. Another tyrannical leftist regime, rejected by its people, illegitimate and living on only by force of arms, done.
And Rhodes mourns their passing, he supports terrorist, murderous, kleptocratic, illegitimate, tyrannies.

I have for years now been calling for the MLB to create 2 new leagues: Far east and Caribbean. They would only meet to play for All-Star and Post Season games.
Obviously the owners would never allow it, if they could they'd have even more post season matchups and love the interleague games. But if I were in charge of baseball there would be a lot of changes they didn't care for, like reducing the number of yearly games and rounds of playoffs.

Hurricane Maria in September 2017, a Category 4 storm, knocked out power across all of Puerto Rico by toppling approximately 80% of the island’s transmission lines and destroying critical infrastructure. The hurricane caused the largest blackout in U.S. history, with the entire power grid collapsing and leaving 1.5 million customers without electricity.
Puerto Rico’s power grid was already weakened by financial instability, poor maintenance, and aging infrastructure before the storm. The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) had declared bankruptcy and lacked funds for necessary upgrades, making recovery extremely slow—officials estimated it could take four to six months just to restore power.
There was a national shortage of power line poles because basically the island's whole system needed to be rebuilt.

PR had a good chance with a MAGA-ish president making some real reforms. Ricky Rossello. He's a businessman.
The leftwing commies on the Island got really scared, so he had to go. So they largely invented a big scandal where he was exchanging texts with his advisors shitting on homosexuals, and leftwing politicians, using very crude (but funny) language.
There was not one word in any of the texts that was not dead on the money. But he was ousted.

Keep an eye on Cuba's primary agricultural product (sugar cane). It's a pretty good bet that they are going to have an unexpected and devastating bout of "red rot" (fungal infestation) in their next harvest.
We (and Israel) took the same approach with Iran. Only less subtle (since we used bombs to lower the living conditions) and wind up the population. Same result, however.

Birds of a feather. Rhodes is a know nothing nepot anyway. He got the job under Obama because of his brother was head of CBS News.
Deep down, Rhodes knows he is dogshit and thus overcompensates just like leftists tend to do when their leftist icons and revolutions are reversed. Bet the guy still has a Che Guevara t shirt and a beret.

Between 2004 and 2008 Wachovia moved $378 billion from Mexican exchanges, I am told that Mexico's entire GDP at the time was $1.3 trillion
At least $110 million was Sinaloa Cartel cash, and $13 million of it bought planes that shipped 22 tons of cocaine into the US
HSBC was doing the same thing in Mexico
This is why Cartels are hard to stop, because too many white shoe, international banks are profiting from it. 2008 was the real estate securities market bubble that promised to kill the major banks. It seems that it could have been primed by cartel money, and when it popped, the US Taxpayers got to shell out to save the banks from having to tell the cartels the money went poof.

Russia's economy, such as it is, collapses when the price of oil drops.

Now, this is interesting because the Constitution says it is up to CONGRESS to write rules for Courts lower than the Supremes... but delegated that authority to the SUPREMES in 1934.
But, under the Tariff precedent they recently set, they said MAJOR issues cannot really be delegated by Congress, if that power is given TO Congress, by the Constitution.
Seems that rules allowing Judges, to give orders to the entire executive branch, only based on Court Rules, not Law, would fit under that precedent.
And this is even a step further down... a regular Fed Judge, writing the rules that the Constitution says Congress is supposed to write.

Iran's De Facto Supreme Leader Ali Larijani Dies of Complications Due to Mojtaba Khamenei's AIDS and an Israeli Airstrike But Mostly Complications Due to Mojtaba Khamenei's AIDS
Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. During the most recent wave of protests in Iran, Larijani employed violent enforcement measures and repression operations, personally overseeing the massacre against Iranians protesting the regime. After Khamenei was killed in the opening strikes of the war over two weeks ago, Larijani consolidated his status as the de facto leader of the Iranian regime and led the combat efforts against the State of Israel and countries across the region.Reports say that even before Khamenei was killed, Larijani had been put in charge of all of Iran's day-to-day management.
He delivered a defiant message on state television after the U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Khamenei, warning that Iran would make its enemies "regret" their actions and promising a forceful response.That forceful response? Dying like a cigarette crushed under a boot. Trump is reportedly very angry at the Europeans for refusing to help keep the Strait of America open -- and keeping their own oil flowing. The US doesn't depend on the Strait of America. Europe does. And they're refusing to send ships to keep it clear.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called out NATO for making a "very foolish mistake" by not helping the U.S. with the Iran operation, though he added "we don't need them." Trump made the comments when answering questions from reporters during a meeting with the Taoiseach of Ireland in the Oval Office at the White House. "I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake," Trump said when a reporter asked about getting America's allies to assist the U.S. in escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. "And I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us." Trump added: "So this is a this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there."Warmongering homosexual homonculous Lindsey Graham ranted emotionally as usual, but he's not wrong.
Lindsey GrahamIt's time to end NATO. There is no reciprocal advantage to the US -- it's just a blank-check commitment to continue supporting this dying-but-Islamizing continent with no counter-commitments flowing back to us. They have no capacity or desire to defend themselves, let alone provide any kind of defense for us.
@LindseyGrahamSC Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies' unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what's at stake. ... The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

Trump added: "So this is a this was a great test because we don't need them, but they should have been there."
It has been noted before that the most likely reason for Europe's refusal to help is Europe's inability to help. They can't very well say "yeah, we've been playing you for a sucker for the last 80 years", so they act like this is a principled stand.

EU to help Ukraine to repair Druzhba pipeline
>Pravda: Reference to €90bn loan and 20th sanctions package dropped from EU statement on Druzhba pipeline, March 17, 2026
A sentence linking the repair of the Druzhba oil pipeline to a €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine and the EU's 20th sanctions package against Russia has been removed from a joint statement by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa dated 17 March.
Source: European Pravda correspondent in Brussels
Details: The EU statement on the Druzhba pipeline was edited, with a sentence removed that had linked the resumption of Russian oil supplies to Europe to both a €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine and the 20th sanctions package against Russia.

I dunno. As you all know, I'm a student of history. A real "buff" if you will.
Anyway, the one thing I know from history is that the Air Force (originally the Army Air Force) has promised that it could win a war entirely from the skies since the anti-industrial bombing campaign against Hitler. This has simply never, ever happened. Absolutely, air power can "hollow out" a regime so that ground forces can then just walk over what's left of them (remember the Afghanistan bombing campaign), but at the end, you do absolutely need those ground forces to drive the enemy out and kill them.
I keep wondering what the end game is. I speculate that maybe a drone campaign can serve as Almost Ground Forces, but I dunno.

Overall, we may not be talking regular army. I noticed regular army is sitting this one out, even regular police, it is all IRGC and Basijis who are causing deaths and havoc. And most of those are hated arabs - Iraqis, and other jihadis from abroad, Afganis etc.

Europe doesn't have anything to say sorry for. Trump treats all of you like sh*t and plays with your economies with his tariffs. You stood with us in every war so we know what's really going on. We're with all of you because we're saying no to Trump as well.
Come the midterms we're ending his rein of bullsh*t he forces on the whole world. After he loses power we're sending all of them to prison for their many crimes against us and everyone else.
We got this. Hang in there we'll be back better and stronger than ever. We got you too.
Does the reluctance from other countries signal declining US influence, or simply caution about escalating the conflict with Iran
As an American I'm glad to see that NATO is not coming to his rescue. He made this mess, it's on him. He wants to be remembered by history so badly, no one will forget this failure.

The Strait is narrow enough that medium strength arms, mines and drones are a serious consideration.

A regime must have enforcers, and that's what is new. We can literally annihilate their enforcers on an individual basis. Individual citizens are calling up airstrikes via Starlink. There are reports that 90% of the Basiji aren't showing up for work, presumably because they want to keep breathing.
My best guess is that the Shah will form a transitional government to hold elections. After that, the outcome is anyone's guess, but how much worse could it be than the mullahs.

There's been traffic through the strait for more than a week.
Ships have started going through without turning off their transponders now.
All while oil is redirected either through pipelines owned by UAE and Oman or by ships just going around Saudi Arabia on their way to the region rather than the Persian Gulf.

Drones have substantially changed the game. It’s not just cost, its capabilities. Lingering munitions have the capability to precisely and selectively take out targets. Add to that a substantial upgrade of munitions (smaller packages targeted to various missions) and it’s a game changer.
I believe the strategy here is to degrade their capabilities as much as possible, take out the worst people and wait for a phone call from whoever is left.
I am a huge critic of regime change. I hated the CPA and tha asshole Paul Bremer. What the did was take out the Baath Party and therefore put Iraq on the road to the mess we saw later on. So Trump et al, is taking the lessons learned from that and trying to keep some semblance of public order through continuity, with new people at the helm. YMMV.

Britain's Royal Navy is one of the best examples - on a day to day basis, Britain has perhaps 2 or 3 surface combatants and a single sub in service. They can deploy perhaps one of the surface combatants, intermittently. They lack the support infrastructure to sustain that deployment and so would depend on the US. They have 2 aircraft carriers but even after nearly a decade in service they are not ready for combat deployments.
The Royal Air Force is hardly any better, having 2 or 3 squadrons of tactical aircraft in effective service, with perhaps one being in a deployable state at any given time. They can offer little more than a token force.
Germany is even worse off. France is perhaps slightly better but only slightly so.

Scuttlebutt is that this came up now because the DNI gets all the intercepts and reports of US citizens talking with certain foreign sources or countries, etc. from NSA, CIA, etc. And that Kent was a source for Tucker's claims that CIA was surveiling him.

The amount of oil shipped per tanker varies significantly based on the vessel's size and type.
Small tankers (e.g., highway tanker trucks) typically carry between 5,500 and 11,600 gallons (20,800 to 43,900 liters), with large semi-trailer trucks commonly holding around 9,000 to 11,600 gallons of gasoline or diesel.
Medium-sized tankers (e.g., AFRAMAX, LR1) can transport between 310,000 and 615,000 barrels of crude oil, which equates to 13 million to 25.8 million gallons.
Large tankers (e.g., VLCCs) carry approximately 2 million barrels, or about 84 million gallons.
The largest oil tanker ever built, the Seawise Giant, could transport up to 4 million barrels, amounting to 168 million gallons of crude oil per journey.

On a related note, I expect we will see the dreaded "boots on the ground", but in a limited fashion. Specifically, the US could be using those Marines that are en route to secure the Iranian shore along the Strait of Hormuz, and maybe that critical oil infrastructure on Kharg Island.
Air power is incredible, and Special Ops can do amazing things, but but those things can only go just so far. To secure Iran's oil industry, and the Strait - send in the Marines.
But the army that's supposed to take over the whole country is a insurgency of Iranians not the US Army.

Some indications that Caldwell got crosswise with his immediate superior who also ended up resigning. Joe Kasper who was Hegseth's Chief of Staff.
Both probably blamed the other for leaks.
Brave AI summary
"Caldwell had been a close ally of Hegseth, dating back to their time at Concerned Veterans for America, and was named Hegseth’s point of contact in the controversial Signal chat that inadvertently included The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief. Despite public accusations from Hegseth about leaks, no evidence of wrongdoing was found, and Caldwell was ultimately cleared. "

True. But the USA was two years late to both World Wars, and recently bugged out of Afghanistan leaving all their allies in the lurch. You're still the same country and the same people (the ones who voted for Jimmy Carter, who basically started the Iranian Revolution, Obama, who funded the Mullahs, and President Autopen, who was even worse than Jimmy Carter at foreign policy), even if you (temporarily) have a different leader. And the UK politicians have bad memories of getting burned by following Bush into Iraq.
America told us it was 'America First' and they weren't interested in participating in any wars that didn't serve American interests, like Ukraine. It makes sense, then, that Europe should be 'Europe First' and not help America. Make up your minds! Are we going to kick ass and change regimes around the globe or aren't we?

One important thing to realize is that to be a modern leftist you have to believe that the world is nearly doomed, everyone is against you, you are an oppressed minority fighting a feeble resistance, Nazis are all around you and now in charge, and you are alone. That is the psychology of the left, they really believe it.

Eh, The Europeans will not even address their own internal security from imported jihadis, so they lack the ability anymore to protect their vital interests, like oil imports, abroad. They seem to like getting their critical energy imports from countries that despise and hate them like Russia or the Middle East because in turn those countries buy Euro products.
Expecting them to do much in NATO if the Russians ever did take up invading is a laughable proposition. Individual front line countries like Poland, or perhaps the Baltics might do so, but the Germans, Brits, and French are stuck into terminal decline as their economies and military power shrivels while they import killers from foreign lands to destroy their domestic societies.

On the one hand, I think it's wildly stupid that Canada is letting a bunch of the former Iranian leadership flee to there.
On the other hand, it gives us an excuse to bomb Canada. "When Canada is dead and gone, there'll be no more Celine Dion!"

But it would still make a lot more sense than stupid NATO does.

You're right, that's about the only threat left, although I think the suicide speedboats are better suited for the latest CNN broadcast instead of, well, real life. To me, the "cool" part of it is that drones most probably could not ever actually sink a tanker: hurt the super-structure and command centers, sure, but it would be easily salvageable.
Certainly not to minimize any loss of life, but I think Iran, at this point, really has zero cards to play in the Straight of AMERICA.

Some Zodiacs or fishing smacks can go lay mines, they can't carry much. During WWII the USN could spot submarine snorkels within visual range, and I suspect the ability has improved since then so that is sort of a losing bet for the mine laying crews.
I think there is more problem with missiles and drones, and that is something that counterbattery fire would do better, and there is that targeting issue for isolated IRGC launching crews. I also think the USN should borrow Embraer Super Tucanos from Chile for air and surface drones

I concur. They speak of ships being hit with an "unknown projectile", or some such thing. So, probably drones. I haven't heard about any of the ships hit actually sinking, but when they carry flammable oil the damage can be pretty severe, I think.

Of course we know! The only reason Starmer got in was that the right in the UK got fed up of the drippy Conservative-In-Name-Only surrender-to-the-left party and split the vote between them and Reform. Now that Reform have been recognised as electable, it should get fixed at the next election. Then Farage will have to fight the Deep State, like Trump did in his first term.

I think you are correct. Found this summary of the Iran Iraq war, Strauss Center is the source.
"Lessons Learned:
Iran and Iraq used anti-ship cruise missiles in more than half of all attacks on shipping during the Tanker War. Iraq used missiles in approximately 80 percent of their attacks on commercial ships.
Oil tankers are not very vulnerable to damage. 61 percent of the ships attacked during the Tanker War were oil tankers. In total, only 55 of the 239 petroleum tankers (23 percent) were completely sunk or declared CTL, compared to 39 percent of bulk carriers and 34 percent of freighters."

Maybe Farage will be that leader that magically shows up to save the day when everything seems all but lost (like Churchill).
But is there a comparable figure in France or Germany? I guess all I've heard about Germany is that a "Germany First" style of party is gaining ground, and the Globalists are frightened enough about it that they are assassinating them.
But don't be so sensitive - we know all too well that the US has a massive problem with decades of Globalist infiltration. That's what Trump is all about.

And we are taking out the trash. Nothing indicates the UK is doing anything similar until after the five year mandated elections.
FWIW, Latinos are not jihadis by and large, most do work, and drugs are a separate issue. Cartels mainly come from Mexico's failed state situation and Chicoms selling chemical precursors to Mexican cartel producers.
Europe's economy flatlined somewhere between the late 1990's and early 00's and that means that the money to fund its military has dried up. At the same time, France, UK, and Germany began importing vast hordes from the Africa, Middle East, and S. Asia. And these have not been productive citizens.
Apples and oranges comparison more or less. You imported a welfare class that hates you and your society, we imported a semi welfare class that wants to be here but does do some productive work in construction, agriculture, service economy, etc.

Time to restrict where Americal.oil goes.
Our gas and diesel prices reflect world oil prices, because we allow other countries' oil companies to bid against American companies. If we don't allow oil exports to reduce our own supply, US gas and diesel prices will be much reduced, while foreign prices will rise quite a bit.
Why should we pay extra to reduce their pain?

Drones are best at interdiction and scouting, like most air forces. They have the advantage that many could land on site to save fuel, like Harriers did in the Falklands in 1982. Some have a light strike capability.

The Morning Rant
The California tax scheme is indeed progressive, and the Texas and Florida schemes are indeed regressive, but those are technical terms that do not reflect the reality, which is that the total tax burden of everyone in California: rich, middle class, or poor, is higher than that of Texas and Florida residents. And by a lot! And it's not just high gas taxes and sales taxes; California has an income tax, unlike Florida and Texas, so the more its residents work and make, the more they are taxed. It tops out at an unbelievable 13.3%, plus -- I'm not making this up -- a 1% "Mental Health Services" tax. And it is onerous not just on well-off people who make more than $1,000,000/year. It is an insulting 9.3% marginal rate on income over about $75,000! That's not wealthy. That is scraping by in many parts of California, with $5 gasoline and outrageously expensive electricity (more than 50% higher than average). Hopefully the Republican nominee in 2028 will "pounce" on this inconvenient, economy-destroying rate and eviscerate Governor Brylcreem for this and many other anti-freedom and anti-growth policies that he embraces like the unrepentant economic and social leftist that he is.

That's nice.
They use this argument in the state of Washington as well - what they don't count, of course is transfer payments.
If you are getting "free" health care, food stamps, housing vouchers, etc., that fact that you are theoretically paying a larger share of your "income" in taxes than someone making more than you isn't terribly relevant.

Part of it is the increase in oil prices. Most gas stations price gas based on futures contracts on oil barrels purchased.
But a lot of it is just, honestly, price gouging. The rise is out of step with current future contract price increases.
Places like Costco, that seem to have policies around selling gas at precise margins, should see falls fastest and emotional exuberance dies down.

No. The fine for failure to pay a tax was established years ago. The potential jail time for refusal to pay, likewise. The fact that the tax which you're not paying was retroactive is irrelevant.
Basically, it's Calvinball.

Back during the last "oil crisis", we had one gas station almost double their prices overnight. They were the first station when coming into town on the main road. After about two days, everyone noticed all the other stations had only a moderate increase. Now, if memory serves, the town shut the place down for a couple of days accusing them of just blatant gouging.
Don't remember the final outcome, but I do remember things going back to "normal"...

Megan Wachspress, now a Stanford law lecturer, says she was that student
Amazing how she only remembered this the day before the primary.
Biss (then in his mid-20's) asked her out on a date after her class with him was over - they had a couple of dates, including a make-out session, and then he thought better of it.
Bliss' opponent is Kat Abughazaleh, a "Palestinian" who would be another Rashida Tlaib in Congress.

The vast majority of voters choose culturally. Their chosen political party is just a jersey they put on at the height of political Super Bowl season.
They don't vote on policy or even personality.
They vote because they're Democrat or Republican. That's it.

Isn't that the generally accepted truth? Middle and lower class pay higher taxes in Texas, but the the upper class pays higher taxes in California.
California has way better public services, better parks, better hospitals, better schools. Fuck the GOP. I'll gladly pay a little more tax for a fuckload more back than any shithole red state gives you.
Whatever Newsom is doing is working for him. He's rapidly overtaking Harris in 2028 potential polling. Anyone should be opening a commanding lead over Harris after her terrible performance in 2024. I want AOC over milquetoast Newsom but at this point a sun-dried CADAVER would be better than any republican.
I want someone who believes in what they say, and Newsom is not that. He sniffs about for middle of the road liberal opinions and reaches across the aisle to conservatives. don't need him.

Also, as long term homeowners, we get a yuuuge break from property taxes thanks to the tax revolt in the '70's. My own little house is well over $1M, my annual property tax bill is just about $ 5000.
Chevron stations around me are 5.79 for regular. I saw a Mobil station charging over $7/gal for credit card regular. They weren't doing much business. Lowest I've seen locally is Arco for just about 4.90/gal.

🚨🚨🚨 THE US JUST DEPLOYED "SOFT KILL" ELECTRONIC WARFARE IN IRAN → NO BULLETS, NO BOMBS, TOTAL DESTRUCTION 🚨🚨🚨
America just revealed a capability most people didn't know existed. Electronic warfare systems mounted on Black Hawks that can shut down an ENTIRE battlefield without firing a single round.
Process that.
WHAT "SOFT KILL" DOES:
→ Shuts down ALL enemy communications instantly
→ Disables drones MID-AIR — they fall from the sky like dead birds
→ Directed energy BLINDS every sensor, radar, and targeting system in range
→ Collapses entire command networks in SECONDS
→ No gunfire. No explosions. Just silence.

Got a link for that, because:
No, this isn't true.
US forces are using established electronic warfare (like EA-18G Growlers jamming radars/drones in the current Iran strikes), but no credible reports confirm a secret "soft kill" Black Hawk system just deployed that was classified for a decade. The viral video is CGI hype mixing old concepts (microwaves, infrasound) with unverified claims—no DoD/CENTCOM evidence matches it. Standard EW exists, but this specific story is misinformation.

He was elected Governor Nov. 6 2018, with his focus on "comeback," diversity, and environmental policies, and sworn into office on Jan. 7, 2019.
His major support has consistently been from deep pocket Democrats including, but not limited to, wealthy tech industry figures, entertainment executives, and various labor unions.

This is rather amusing since Kamala has exactly as much in common with black Americans as Obama did- zero.
Both brought up in a wealthy household by mothers who were not black, sired by fathers who were black but not American.
Kamala, thankfully, doesn't have Obama's acting ability, so she will fail once again. (Obama isn't smart, though he thinks he is. But he IS an amazing actor- he knows how to read lines written for him.)

Don't worry about the war. Ds are gonna shutdown fed gov Oct 1 again...worked for them every time so far to win elections.
There's a reason Trump moved heaven and earth to try to save that FL R so Johnson didn't fall to 216 votes...the only prayer to win the shutdown is to have it be another Senate malaise...and Johnson needs 217 + the eventual GA seat to get there...

We bought in 1992. Property taxes are 1% of the homes value, limited to a 2% increase per year. You get a $7500 homestead exemption, which is a joke considering where home prices are.

Yeah, I focused on the quagmire half of the statement, but it's clear the objective is to degrade the Iranian government and its ability to do anything. Seems simple enough.
Some secondary goals which might be nice but not necessary would be an Iran which rejects the mullahcracy and is no longer a threat to the region, a freer and prosperous country yadda yadda.
But fucking up their shit until they can't do shit seems like a clear and achievable objective.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
Counterpoint.

Gold Star wife here.
My husband didn’t die for Israel. He died because this war has been targeting Americans for decades. Long before most people ever started paying attention.
We didn’t suddenly stumble into this because of Israel. Our service members have been in the crosshairs of Iranian-backed terror networks for years. That’s the reality families like mine have lived with.
So spare me the talking point that this is “Israel’s war.”
Some of us have already paid for it in American blood.

Agreed. He's been through hell with the death of his wife and the mother of his kids, but that isn't a qualification. Best to thank him for his service, and hope he recovers mentally.

Unlike ❤️St Valentine's Day, I was never sure of the spiritual significance of that ritual.
We were Episcopal (pre-woke) anyway, so even though we attended St Luke's, I was never given any instruction about the whole saints thing, anyway. That was just stuff leftover from those wacky Catholics.

The absence of an income tax isn't really always a wonderful thing. Texas property taxes are sky-high, and the oft-overlooked part from that is that property taxes are due whether you are employed or not.
Yes, there is a lot of other stuff that goes along with this: what are fees? what are the sales taxes? how are they applied? what are the relative tax rates for income & property? How do functions split between State-duty versus individual citizen? And, overall, how does it all add up to the total tax burden of the States' residents?
You really have to get down to the accounting entry level to do a fair comparison of one tax scheme versus another. I get so tired of the "they have no income tax" as if that's the greatest thing ever. It ain't. The taxman gets his due.

“Price gouging” is a term used by economic illiterates.
Besides, as the pandemic demonstrated, not even markets set prices. The people who set the price? The police. (Because businesses cannot set prices based on supply and demand. That’s called “price gouging” in this allegedly capitalist country. There are laws on the books preventing this. Hence the shortages during the pandemic.)

How come TX has what all the other states have - without income taxes?
Yes, the taxman gets his due, but there are better, less obtrusive ways of doing it. And demanding the efficient spending of the money.
(By the way, TX has the best roads. Fight me.)

Because my property taxes are 3x higher in Texas than they were anywhere else I've lived.
Texas is very different from other States in what it funds. Because of Texas' greater emphasis on local governance & control, the State of Texas simply doesn't require as much money as other States do; the funding is kept more local. Thus, the State of Texas doesn't need an income tax, but the local communities need more bucks, and these come mostly from property taxes - which is why my property taxes are so high.

Significance
Bonington was known for his contributions to watercolor painting and his ability to blend realism with emotional depth. His works, including "The Use of Tears," are celebrated for their technical proficiency and evocative subject matter.

It's the old lady who is the focus with her dark clothing, solid wood chair and more distinct features. That shifts the focus from the death of a young person to the acceptance of loss. At that time any old person would have lost many family members and friends during their lifetime. She is not immune to the passing and pain but may have run out of tears after losing so many others. But the tenderness is still there in the way she holds the girls hand so gently.

Richard Parkes Bonington, English, 1802-1828
Irish woes then? (Off to the Mother & Baby homes or Magdalene Laundries she'll be going?)
Artvee: In part, "Richard Parkes Bonington was an English Romantic landscape painter, who moved to France at the age of 14 and can also be considered as a French artist, and an intermediary bringing aspects of English style to France. Becoming, after his early death, one of the most influential British artists of his time, the facility of his style was inspired by the old masters, yet was entirely modern in its application. His landscapes were mostly of coastal scenes, with a low horizon and large sky, showing a brilliant handling of light and atmosphere. He also painted small historical cabinet paintings in a freely-handled version of the troubadour style."
He had a large body of generally very nice works; beautifully detailed, varying subjects, and colors accenting lighting & placement.
I wouldn't hang today's art selection but would for many of his others.
Thanks.

In February 2021, Kent announced his campaign for the United States House of Representatives election for Washington's third congressional district. He established himself as a candidate supportive of Donald Trump. Kent faced allegations of apparent associations between himself and white nationalists in his campaign. He won the Republican primary against incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler, but lost to Democratic candidate Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in what was considered a major upset. Kent ran again in 2024, losing to Gluesenkamp Perez again by a larger margin.

My favorite claim of an Irishman when accused of being drunk:
"Ah Jaysus, no, no, no... I'm not drunk at all, at all!
This? This is just a few pints, lads!
Sure, beer’s not even proper drinkin’—it's like... like water with a bit o' flavour and happiness in it! I'm as sober as a judge on a Monday mornin'! Look at me, I'm grand—perfectly steady! (stumbles slightly) See? That's just the floor bein' uneven, not me!
It's only beer, for the love o' God!"

We should absolutely wait to act until Iran has nuclear weapons, thousands of missiles with the range to strike the continental US, and has launched. Only then may we act. And only after getting permission from the UN, lest someone believe that the Joos are manipulating us.

My most sincere and deepest condolences to you and yours, Muldoon. May His arms both welcome her home and comfort you all.
I know well this sting, having lost my mom 3 1/2 years ago just shy of her 80th birthday. A simple UTI turned septic, which shocked her liver and damaged her brain. She lingered for a week in palliative care after the initial diagnosis of a day, with a "false rebound" in the middle of that. What makes it even worse was that she passed when I was at home getting a change of clothes, so she was alone, though in a medically induced coma. I will never get over that.

The Morning Report — 3/17/26
In 1990, Schumer co-sponsored a diversity visa program that offered green cards to 50,000 applicants annually via a lottery system. . . One noteworthy winner of this lottery program in 2010 was Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, a Muslim immigrant and ISIS supporter from Uzbekistan. Seven years later — on October 31, 2017 — Saipov used a rental truck to mow down and kill eight people (and injure at least twelve others) in a busy New York City bike path as an act of jihad. . .Keep that in abeyance for a moment and cut to 2009
“[I]llegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. When we use phrases like ‘undocumented workers,’ we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the United States legally. Any immigration solution must recognize that we must do as much as we can to gain operational control of our borders as soon as possible.” . . . In April 2012, Schumer introduced a bill designed to eliminate laws like SB 1070, an Arizona statute deputizing state police to check with federal authorities on the immigration status of criminal suspects. The senator charged that such laws would inevitably result in “untrained officers … arresting anyone and everyone who might fit the preconceived profile of an illegal immigrant.” In 2013 Schumer led the so-called “Gang of Eight”—four Democrat and four Republican U.S. senators—in the push to pass a sweeping, 844-page immigration-reform bill aimed at giving provisional legal status to at least 11 million illegal immigrants and placing them on a path-to-citizenship. The other Democrats on the panel were Michael Bennet, Richard Durbin, and Robert Menendez. A Politico.com analysis noted that their proposal, if passed, “would transform the nation’s political landscape” by “pumping as many as 11 million new Hispanic voters into the electorate a decade from now in ways that … would produce an electoral bonanza for Democrats and cripple Republican prospects in many states they now win easily.” When Republicans in Congress failed to support the Gang of Eight’s proposal in sufficient numbers to pass it, Schumer blamed that failure on the racism of “Tea Party elites” who, he said, opposed amnesty because they did not want want America to become “less white.” “Yes, things have changed,” Schumer elaborated. “White Anglo-Saxon men are not exclusively running the country anymore…. In a pre-Tea Party world, the Senate immigration bill would have been welcomed by House Republicans,. However, the Tea Party rank-and-file know it’s a different America. It looks different; it prays different; it works different. This is unsettling and angering to some.” In February 2014, Schumer said that Congress should make amnesty available to all immigrants who had come to the U.S. illegally as recently as December 31, 2013. When some Republican lawmakers expressed reluctance to pass an immigration bill because they simply did not trust that President Obama would enforce it, Schumer said: “There’s a simple solution. Let’s enact the law this year, but simply not let it actually start until 2017, after President Obama’s term is over.”Emphasis above mine as we now Psaki-Psircle back to Despicable/Chuck Schemer today:
. . Schumer proceeded to call on Trump to close down his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which was investigating how to best deal with voter fraud. “[W]hat troubles so many Americans every bit as much as the president’s shocking response to this national tragedy is the methodical and pernicious way in which his administration is promoting discrimination, both subtle and not so subtle, in its policies and actions — especially when it comes to undermining the universal right of every American to vote,” Schumer said in a post on Medium.com. “Many of us found the Election Integrity Commission distasteful when it was first created,” he added. “The president’s recent failure to unequivocally condemn bigotry makes its rescission imperative…. Many of us found the Election Integrity Commission distasteful when it was first created. The president’s recent failure to unequivocally condemn bigotry makes its rescission imperative.”
Schumer claimed that President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to “disenfranchise millions of Americans and undermine democracy by pushing this despicable SAVE Act,” also called the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act. He also called the election integrity bill “one of the most despicable pieces of legislation I’ve come across in the many years I’ve been a legislator.” “Nothing is more important than defeating this dagger to the heart of our democracy,” the Democrat leader told reporters.Translation, it's a dagger in the black heart of Democrat tyranny, putting a real impediment to their ability to steal elections.
A Mauritanian illegal immigrant marked for deportation since 2002 has continued to live in the US and is a registered Democrat who voted in every election since 2008, authorities claim. Mahady Sacko, 50, who goes by the nickname “Sacko Scorpion,” was busted last week in Philadelphia for allegedly falsely claiming citizenship to cast a 2024 ballot. He was picked up in a joint operation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI who charge he “falsely represented that he was a US citizen in order to vote and register to vote” in the last preidential election, according to a press release. Sacko denied the charges when called by The Post, claiming: “Everything is a lie! They are lying about me!” before hanging up. He has yet to enter a plea in his case. As the issue of election security ramps up in Congress with the SAVE act, Sacko’s arrest was one of nearly a dozen uncovered by The Post of non-citizens allegedly voting in US elections, sometimes for decades, with many remaining listed as active voters on state rolls, even after their convictions. “The reality is aliens are voting in American elections,” J. Christian Adams, president of Public Interest Legal Foundation, who has spent decades working on election integrity told The Post, noting no one is quite sure how widespread the problem is. There were about 14 million people who are in the country legally but who are not citizens in 2023, according to the Pew Research center. While they may have work permits and visas, they can’t vote. “It’s way worse than the left says, but it’s way better than some others say,” he added. Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, stands out for disastrous alien voter registration, said Adams. The Keystone State has admitted a glitch in its “motor voter” program, which registers voters at the DMV, inadvertently has allowed approximately 100,000 non-citizens to register to vote, though some state officials dispute this number. Another Pennsylvania voter, Indian citizen Kaushalkumar Patel, 47, of Allentown will stand trial this month for allegedly voting illegally in the 2020 election in Penn. Patel’s lawyer Philip Steinberg previously said he’s waiting for more information from the goverment laying out their case against Patel, saying in a statement: “Mr. Patel has lived a law abiding life in the United States for over 20 years. He works, pays his taxes and is an active participant in his community. He is also the proud father of two young daughters.” On March 6, Canadian Denis Bouchard, 70, pleaded guilty to two counts of making false claims he was a US citizen to vote in 2022 and 2024 elections in North Carolina and faces ten years in prison. An investigation by The Post revealed a man by the same name and age had voted in every election since 2004 and was not registered with a political party. That man was removed from voter rolls in that state after Bouchard’s conviction. In one shocking case, Chinese national Haoxiang Gao, 19, who was a student at the University of Michigan, was charged on June 3 last year with illegally voting in the 2024 election, but fled to China before he could face justice. . . . . . Polling shows the SAVE Act is extremely popular with voters, getting over 70% support, with even half of Democrats in favor.Not only do illegal aliens help steal elections, they steal our society and destroy our culture. Talk about decolonization. Well, Decolonization begins at home. Assimilate or get the hell out. By any means necessary. Yeah, Schemer and the Dems are easy targets but Thune and the GOP not going all out to ram this bill home is is as sharp a dagger as Schemer and his ilk's opposition. While we're on the subject of despicable, I give you the Blonde-bobed Borgia of Bolshevism:
Wow. I’ve been keeping track of Virgina’s new governor, Abigail Spanberger, she who ran as that rarest of political creatures: a moderate Democrat. But the moment she was inaugurated, she ripped off the mask and flew her socialist freak flag. Nowhere has this been more evident in her—and the Democrat-controlled legislature’s--mania for gun control. I wrote about her “assault weapon” and magazine capacity ban on March 15 in Democrats go gun crazy. Despite there being no such thing as an “assault weapon,” Spanberger has banned AR-15s and the like as well as magazines with greater than 15-round capacity. This is a blatant violation of Heller and Bruen and is sure to be eventually overturned by the Supreme Court, if Democrats don’t seize total control of government and pack the Supreme Court before then. But that’s just the beginning . . .These constitutionally suspect measures are surely only the beginning. The legislature, at the urging of the “moderate” Spanberger, are on a roll. It’s HB 110 that is most revealing of their ultimate intentions. All tyrants immediately ban citizen ownership of guns. That’s a bit difficult in America, which unlike all other nations has a Second Amendment, so they go as far as they dare, and Spanberger dares greatly. Tyrants also exempt themselves from the law they pass. I know our Congress routinely does that . . . They’re exempt because they’re special. Normal Virginians aren’t fit to exercise their full rights under the Second Amendment, but Democrats—morally and intellectually superior beings—are.The author notes "Virginia is fast becoming a socialist tyranny., to which I ask "and how should an armed citizenry react to prevent this?" Elsewhere, the situation in Iran continues apace as is evidenced by the links. Have a great Day! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

I'm with Levin on this: he's the only conservative "influencer" (perhaps aside from President Trump) calling out the Deep State PsyOp "Right-Wing" Anti-Semite Grifting Hate-America Firsters by name.
Virtually every other "influencer" cowardly refuses to do so -- hiding behind the old RINO "we're better than that crowd" that gave us The Clintons, DogEater, F. Joe Mugabe, and Kommie-la.
You can't fight and destroy an enemy -- especially one whose "internally" co-opted your movement -- without naming names and destroying them literally.

The winter of '24-'26 has been exceptionally lean in terms of total snowfall and snowpack levels in the upper Colorado River drainage and indeed throughout the Colorado Rockies, with current snowpack levels at or near historic lows for this date, well below the average. While there may yet be a late snow dump in the high country boosting the final totals, it looks to be a low run-off year.
Here in Grand Junction we only had two snow days all winter, with less than 3" each time. Mildest, driest winter in my memory.

Actually, no they can't legally do so, for example no Poll Tax, no legal firearms tax etc. A state's authority to tax IS limited by the US Constitution. Do Blue states get away with illegal taxes? Sure they do, the same way they get away with illegal gun control laws: because we stopped tarring and feathering politicians in the 1800's.

No, the 5th amendment is one of the ones incorporated against the states by the 14th amendment. Otherwise states could equally be able to take your life without due process. Sorry, you are simply wrong. Like many other things (gun control, etc.) States get away with property taxes simply because nobody with enough lawyers has fought them on the subject.

This amuses me greatly. Trump is securing the eurowienie's oil in Iran, and the lazy arrogant fucks aren't lifting a finger to help. My $ is on Trump charging the little commie shitbags for their oil since they refused to help secure it.

The government has an unending desire for money. And then has to decide what groups to tax (and how many dollars to print).
The fairest tax would obviously be a simple head tax. If FedGov spends $10k/citizen, every citizen gets a $10k bill.
But that would lead to riots and actual insurrections. So instead they hide as much of the impact of taxes as possible and target groups that they think will just "take it".
And here is one of my biggest complaints with the GOPe. The productive class which mostly votes R is the primary target of the tax code. Job #1 then for the GOPe would be to shift that to target primarily D voters - think Trump's SALT changes but way way bigger then that.

Spanberger has spent the past 10 years as a Congresscritter falsely portraying herself as a moderate. Playing a long game for her planned eventual election to a much more powerful office. Next step for her is running for a Virginia Senate seat, Veep, or POTUS. She can run for anything in '28 and keep her governor's job if she loses. Her schtick will continue to be falsely running as Mommy Moderate.
Democrats see getting assault weapons banned by SCOTUS as the key win leading to a total civilian gun ban. The immediate goal is to sway enough SCOTUS justices into allowing states to ban them because they are evil mass murder devices, somehow not covered for civilian possession by the 2nd Amendment. If they win that fight, their next step will be working to ban shotguns or small pistols or some other class of firearm. Claiming they are now evil mass murder devices. Banning assault rifles will set a precedent for banning any class of firearm. Wash, rinse, repeat as needed to ban all civilian possession of guns.

That had nothing to do with Epstein - it was all to blunt the force of what was coming - the "thoughtful MAGA" on our side leading about half (or a large minority) of the party against itself. And make no mistake the Epstein piece was gamed out well in advance as the thing that could exploit existing fault lines in Trump support. Since they couldn't make their own party stronger, they needed to weaken us.
Trump *immediately* corraled them, before the op even got going in earnest, with everyone wondering why he'd "gone crazy" that day. Risked looking like a pedophile AND going after his "biggest supporters" and the entire base he'd built, two things they assumed Trump and his "ego" would never do. All because they wouldn't, because they actually are vain arrogant pedos. Dummies.

Reminds me of the pretty good 1991 film The Rocketeer, featuring a young pilot (portrayed by Billy Campbell) who becomes a rocket-powered hero with a young Jennifer Connelly as his love interest.
TRIVIA: In '86, after graduating from college and going back to my hometown of Las Vegas, I played on the local club Rugby Club Team with Billy Campbell (a great guy and a stud athlete) -- and cousin of the great actor Bruce Campbell (best know for portraying Ash in the "Evil Dead" trilogy as well as the TV series "Burn Notice").
He was in town filming the first couple seasons of the great TV Series "Crime Story" starring Dennis Farina. The stories he used to tell about the Hollywood cocaine parties (in which he refused to indulge) were amazing ...

Interesting because for the past couple of years, the demographics who bought the most guns or became the first time gun owners, include women, PoC, LGBTQ+ and various marginalized communities.
Dems are incapable of keeping up with political trends because all of their consultants stopped learning things in 2007. They are incapable of challenging their priors.
“Our main priority is affordability and ensuring all Virginians have access to housing.” *Goes straight to guns* It's really bad timing to split the base now. This may cost them the redistricting bill.
Democrats consistently shit the bed 😭😭😭😭 I’m so sick of this. They're the Washington Generals of politics.
This is the moment in history they could flip huge numbers of voters, but they decide to demonstrate that they are still all in on the biggest single issue that keeps single issue voters opposed to them, and gains them nothing.

This is one reason the Dems have been going totally nuts when a Republican wins a POTUS election. With five Leftist Justices, the Left believes it will be able to get SCOTUS to both gut the Bill of Rights and declare a whole lot of unpopular Leftist-desired policies and laws Constitutional. Also, everything getting to SCOTUS will be strictly screened by a Leftist reading of the 14th Amendment equal protection clause.

That almost happened to us with the first kid. The people on my wife's side have...big heads. When they did an ultrasound of the kiddo, his head was large and they were afraid he was gonna be a Down's baby, and a huge baby if full term, and advised an abortion might be warranted. At one point, the doctor wanted to induce my wife, but the answer was, "we have wedding to go to." Doc said, "The wedding is more important than your baby?" So doc sets date to induce wife. That morning, we get a call that they are over-filled with mamas going into labor and we're told not to come in, so we don't...until doctor calls a few hours later and says, "No, you NEED to come in." So they give her the drugs to induce. If it wasn't because the doc was so tired and needed a nap, she would have been C-sectioned, but instead, that gave enough time for full dilation and a natural birth...he weighed in at 7lbs, 10oz, not a huge baby. Yes, docs do get it wrong.

Yeah, it'll get overturned -- eventually. Years from now. Long after its damage has been done, and there is no longer any judicial remedy available.
After all, it only took five years for the Supreme Court to agree that, despite what 80+ judges across the nation said in 2021, a political candidate does indeed have standing to challenge the conduct of an election. Are we intending to allow the whole woke Left agenda, item by item by item, to each embark upon the chimeral journey through the court system?

Top Story
- Nvidia held its keynote address at its annual GPU Technology Conference, where it showed off a preview of its new DLSS 5 software, two months after DLSS 4.5 was released at CES. (Tom's Hardware)
DLSS 5 goes all-in on AI, changing game graphics into the AI developer's idea of game graphics. It's... Not great.
It uses face detection to overlay what it thinks faces should look like on your game's graphics, adding twenty years to the age of characters while leaving their clothes untouched and sometimes leaving random items looking like they've just been dragged backwards through an industrial recycling facility.
And it achieves all this in real time using the power of your own graphics card... Assuming you have dual RTX 5090s, which you don't.
Tech News
- Encyclopedia Britannica has sued OpenAI for "stealing our shit". (Engadget)
They may not have used precisely those words.
- "Investors" on Polymarket have threatened to murder an Israeli reporter for reporting stories that ran against their "investments". (Times of Israel)
They "invested" in predicting that an Iranian missile would be intercepted; instead it crashed in empty land outside Jerusalem so that they lost their "investments".
Yes, they are gamblers trying to nobble a horse, only the horse is a person and the nobbling would be fatal.
- The cast of Firefly are looking for funds to reboot the series in animated form. (Hollywood Reporter)
Uh... Maybe? It was a great series cut off far too early, and it's probably been too long for them to reprise their roles in a live action series. Also one of the characters is canonically dead.
But animated? Anything can happen in an animated series.
- Micron has begun volume production of 36GB HBM4 modules, 28Gbps PCIe 6.0 SSDs, and 192GB SOCAMM2 laptop memory modules. (WCCFTech)
You can't have any. Not unless your name is Nvidia.
- Dell has introduced its new Pro Max desktop with an Nvidia GB300 CPU and 696GB of LPDDR5X memory. (Notebook Check)
They did not list a price, for obvious reasons.

DigitalFoundry did a quick video on YT on DLSS 5.
They said that Nvidia claims that it's machine learning is simply readjusting lighting to achieve the new faces of the game characters, but I find that hard to believe.
It does look like the AI is recreating a path-traced version of in game lighting to give better depth and lighting realism but there's no way it's not recreating faces, especially in some of the examples Nvidia's demo showed.
The example of Grace from Requiem Evil they've been using, is obviously AI re-generated.
It may actually help some games look better, especially older titles.
But Nvidia has to come up with a way to optimize DLSS 5 because very few people can afford a 5090 to run it on.
This seems to be a preview of DLSS 6, which will probably only run on 6000 series GPUs next year.

I've bought from Apple, Best Buy, and Amazon.
Not really much difference between them as far as service, etc.
Sometimes Best Buy and Amazon have sales on Apple products, which Apple rarely, if ever, does.
Best Buy usually adds in some free software or subscription trials to streaming services with their sales. With the Neo they give you Apple News, Apple Music, Apple Gaming, and Apple TV for free trials for 1 to 3 months.
If you get it directly from Apple they usually include a few free trials as well, so really up to you on how fast you want to get it delivered.

In the '90s there was a coffee-bakery in Albuquerque that offered green chile bagels. They weren't greenish in color, just had bits of green chile in them. Faintly spicy. I always thought some place in Da Swamp should have imported them -- people here love spicy.
The coffee-bakery also had chicory coffee, which seems rare outside the South. You could buy it in some groceries in Denver, but people there acted as if it were burned over a campfire. "You like that cowboy coffee, huh?"

I don't think Mark Levin can afford to, since he's in the same attention economy. Although feuding with Megyn Kelly could raise her profile (as when Trump did), it would raise his too, and the opportunity cost could be too much to pass it up. I guess it depends if there's a countervailing cost to his dignity, and how much he values that.
As an aside, Trump is a real natural at that kind of thing. I make an effort to notice the "dog that didn't bark" kind of events, since they're hard to notice by definition, and one is that feud that Trump *didn't* have with Eminem. The rapper tried very hard; he was talking so much trash on stage at his shows, it made the news more than once.
Trump never took Eminem's bait, and that crystallized for me how there were many people he never referred to at all, even obliquely. Journalists only noticed Trump feuding here and there and seemingly all over the place, and never noticed that he was actually very carefully selective, leaving far more opportunities on the table than what he took. And when he did, he mostly benefited as much or than them.

The thing I liked about Amos was that they really grew that character over the run of the show.
He went from a meathead heavy to an almost well-rounded human in five seasons.
I wish they'd have ended that show better than they did, though. The last few episodes were a let-down for me.

You're not the only one. I didn't _dis_-like the show, but it's not the super-incredible be-all and end-all of television it's treated as by its fans. Everything about it is mediocre - the writing, the direction, the acting, the SFX. It's explicitly an allegory for the Reconstruction South, with the Browncoaters standing in for the CSA. Even in 2001, that was a "Really, Joss? Are you sure that's a good idea?"
The reason it's popular - the _only_ reason - is that it was the first show to really lean into the "found family" dynamic millennials obsessed over so much. And it was cancelled before its weaknesses accumulated enough to drag it down.

Monday Overnight Open Thread (3/16/26) The Let Me Give You The What For Edition
[H/T - Uncle Jefe] "Russian River at Asti, northern Sonoma County, just after recently cresting just out of bank… "
Unfortunately time flies and there are whispers about certain conservative justices retiring. I nominate Judge Van Dyke to the highest court!
Judge VanDyke: "This is a case about swinging dicks."
30 members of the Ninth Circuit write to disagree.
The Ninth Circuit denied rehearing en banc in Olympus Spa v. Armstrong. Judge VanDyke wrote the lead dissent, which begins this way: This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa—a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa—understandably don't want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don't want them in their spa either. But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit. You may think that swinging dicks shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion. You're not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa— some as young as thirteen—to be visually assaulted by the real thing. Sometimes, it feels like the supposed adults in the room have collectively lost their minds. Woke regulators and complicit judges seem entirely willing, even eager, to ignore the consequences that their Frankenstein social experiments impose on real women and young girls. As you could imagine, this line infuriated Judge VanDyke's colleagues.
His response to their feigned outrage is hilarious. However, I was disappointed that he didn't write he wasn't a gynecologist but knew a cvnt when he saw one.
Good old fashioned sex, betrayal and politics without the Epstein angle. At least I don't think so.
Kyrsten Sinema admits she had sex with her married bodyguard in bombshell new court papersShe's Bi, but she does love swinging dick.
A criminal investigation has begun in Turkey after an injured English racehorse was killed and served in soup kitchen. Turkey’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry ran tests after a ‘foreign object’ found in a stew served at a soup kitchen in Mersin last month and discovered that it was an electronic identification chip belonging to Smart Latch, a four-year-old English mare.
Our world which includes our Canadian friends has gone completely nuts about the Hitler/Nazi thing. While Canadians allow government sponsored suicide, turn the blind eye to the atrocities of the Islamic faith. History be damned!!!
Although the purchase has been confirmed as legitimate, both Gale and Jouppien maintained it was merely an addition to Gale’s collection of historical artifacts and not an endorsement of the Führer. In a report from CBC, Jouppien added: “It’s not to be taken as an insult to any anti-racist group,” Jouppien told CBC News. “It was collected in the sincere interest of history.” Jouppien added that “not many people have the resources [Gale has]” to preserve rare items and that his collection is a contribution to history. Jouppien also claimed that Gale’s historical collection was worth millions of dollars.If I were a rare book collector, this would be something that would interest me. And if that bothers you. I'm not sorry. There is nothing to apologize for.
Why would you have someone there to protect the public asked Karen The Mayor. Well since you won't allow concealed carry this is the next best thing.
Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe said she was “surprised and shocked” to learn a Waterloo Regional Police Service sniper was deployed as part of law enforcement’s efforts to manage an unsanctioned street party during St. Patrick’s Day weekend in the city’s university district. Waterloo police confirmed to The Canadian Press that a photo and video circulating of a sniper monitoring the St. Patrick’s Day crowd Saturday was indeed a Waterloo police officer, but at first did not answer questions about why one was deployed. Police later said in an email late Sunday that “mass casualty considerations” were part of the safety plan for the event. “The magnitude of unfortunate mass casualty events that have occurred across North America and around the world in recent decades have shaped emergency response strategies for all large gatherings,” Chief Mark Crowell said in the email.It's not like Muzzies attack infidels during any secular or religious celebrations.
Yours truly doesn't even know where to begin to address this "Letter to The Editor". The first four things that came to my mind were:

4) Obviously God does not exist in her world.
The GOP’s Anti-Trans Crusade Already Forced Me to Move My Family. I’m Still Not Sure We’re Safe.
We thought our new state would be a haven after the last one turned on us. But I know the signs, and they aren’t looking good. In May of 2020, my family moved so I could attend a clinical mental health doctorate program at the University of Iowa. I remember being so excited about the program’s LGBTQ Counseling Clinic, where I would be the assistant director and where I would get to focus on providing much-needed therapeutic care for queer folks. It was the deciding factor for me on what program I ended up attending. At that time, I would never have predicted that the same clinic that had drawn me to Iowa would no longer exist when my family would be forced to flee the state in 2025. At the beginning of our Iowa adventure, my kids were 9 and 12, and the plan was to stay at least until our oldest graduated from high school in 2026, if not longer. A few years into our time in the Hawkeye State, my oldest child came to us because they wanted to start on puberty blockers, since they were trans, and wanted to delay bodily changes that didn’t match their gender. When my child first came out, I was worried that because I’m a trans clinician who works in gender-affirming mental health care, others would assume my child’s choices were influenced by me. I was very careful to make sure they knew that whether to pursue gender-affirming care was entirely their own choice. The most important thing was that they knew we loved them and that we would support whatever choice they made.

“Upset about the music,” the karaoke enthusiast exited the bar, where James Emery, 27, “tried to get...Jablonski to calm down,” according to an arrest affidavit. Instead of cooling off, Jablonski pulled a Glock 9mm from his waistband and pointed it at the man, saying, “I don’t fucking care.” Jablonski, police reported, fired one round into the air. It was illegal for Jablonski to possess a handgun since his rap sheet includes a 2012 felony conviction (for battery on a law enforcement officer). He has also been convicted of DUI; disorderly conduct; theft; resisting an officer with violence; and violating probation.

'S been a weird day at Casa Wolfus. No workout this morning due to cold rain; a quick run to Walmart; watching 23 Paces of Baker Street this am, and enjoying it. Tomorrow, Miss Linda says, we can get a free donut each at the Krisy Kreme in the suburbs, and we can always find other errands to run out there, so that sounds good.

Right, they want the comparison to be solely on Men versus Women's "pro b-ball". Caitlin brought in big numbers, but with this Team USA, she went 2-7 the other day from 3 point land (but that is below her average). She is a good point guard and ball handler and gets a lot of cool assists, but not that great from her patented "logo three" signature shot. Several others are better.
BUT Caitlan does draw crowds and attention, so is worth the big bucks. And she gets it in ad revenue as well. Is it racist for her fans to watch (white) her? Well maybe, but not more racist than for the black/lesbie players to trying to destroy Caitlan.

I heard that once living in the edge of Fort Worth. It wasn’t a tornado, rather straight line winds in excess of 100 mph. (One local compared it to a tornado laying on its side). If someone had been standing next to me I could have shouted as loudly as possible and they wouldn’t have heard me. The entire building, a multi unit condo, was violently vibrating.
I should have been scared, but I was too awestruck by the raw power I was seeing. Next day I was looking around and found the remains of a large billboard, mounted on 4 I-beams, which had been ripped out of the ground and tossed about 200 yards from where it started.

Revenue sharing, though, has been the biggest sticking point for months. The players union's last known proposal called for about 26% of gross revenue, while the league has offered players more than 70% of net revenue.

I can see the importance of gross vs net revenue. If WNBA players got 70% of net revenue, they'd owe the league about 30 million dollars.

31:40, but I listen at 1.25x. Kinda interesting, if true. But two problems common to the strange, dark, and mysterious videos. Okay, three problems. Somewhat misleading click-bait title (doesn't so much "defy explanation" as not have one). Abrupt, inconclusive ending. And an artificial narrator that. Does not aways. Follow sentence. Structure.
Gaaah. When I coulda been commingling with Morons.

We'll see what happens. But a national blackout is a nice touch. Report that regime cops are positioned around a Che statue to protect it from vandalism.
For some reason I'm confident there'll be no half-measures on this one, as we're in a position to impose our will. And de facto regime change will be the starting point.

Something like 65% of Iran were under the iron fist of terrorist Islam. Venezuela was run by the drug cartels. Mexico is run by the cartels ... Russia may have more "freedom" but their men are being sent to die in war. China is tyrannical and abusive. Tyranny seems to be the norm in the world.
But "The West" in Europe still believes in freedom, or are they fully submissive to Islam, so their oligarchs can enrich themselves with cheap labor (not counting the cost of murder of social norms).
Exception is USA ... Right? Well, except for the DeepState, and Islam invasion, DEI absurdities, and infinite debt.

I think the do-gooders and wannabe saviors over the years have actually made Haiti a far worse place than it would have been otherwise. They have trained the populace to expect solutions to their problems to come from outside, and they’ve given up any thought of fixing things themselves.
Yes, without outside aid there would have been one or more instances of mass death; but then the survivors would have had to pull their heads out of their asses and think seriously about how to Not Do That Again. And they would have solved their own problems.

Grok - Jeremiah Curtin, the 19th-century folklorist and mythologist (known for works like Myths and Folk-Lore of Ireland and Creation Myths of Primitive America), does not provide a direct retelling or unique variant of Helen of Troy's classical Greek origin story (the birth from Leda's egg after Zeus's swan seduction). Instead, in his 1898 book Creation Myths of Primitive America, Curtin discusses a Native American myth from the Wintu people titled "Norwan." He explicitly compares it to the Helen of Troy tale, noting that it "recalls the Helen of Troy tale" (or "recalls forcibly the Helen of Troy tale, both in its general plan and in many particulars").In this context, Curtin uses the Helen story as a parallel or analogue rather than recounting her own origin directly. The Norwan myth involves a beautiful woman (Norwan) whose desirability sparks a massive war among the "first people," similar to how Helen's abduction/elopement with Paris triggers the Trojan War.

The population of Cuba is about 10 million. How do you feed 10 million people, for months? How do distribute food when all transportation is at a standstill?
Our news media appear to be indifferent.

Another issue with Cuba -- how do you stop remnants of the communist government from seizing any food delivered and using it as leverage over the population, to hold on to power?

Of course the first thing to do - after ensuring maximalist demands on regime change are met - is to go fix and fuel and the power system ourselves. Given that cracks/uppityness are appearing with just severe power problems, seems a decent bet that a dark grid and the widespread economic and social consequences would be enough to crumble the current order.
And I imagine we'd make it clear that any violence to try and cling to power will be met with decisive force by us. Our cred at removing/vaporizing adversary leadership is at a particular high at the moment.

Yes, without outside aid there would have been one or more instances of mass death; but then the survivors would have had to pull their heads out of their asses and think seriously about how to Not Do That Again. And they would have solved their own problems.

In conflict-zone aid distribution, depending on circumstances, you have to be willing to eat significant % diversion to reach people in need ("cost of doing business"). I would expect and hope if the US does major short-term humanitarian aid in Cuba it does so where we have total control and boots on the ground to enforce our will.

My hubby is the same as ever-- this is a good thing.
Only a couple-three more days for BIL... App't Thursday with some help agency. Hope they find a place for him. If not, he's going to a homeless shelter. Photo ID should arrive any day now, and then I'll take him to get a phone & his account straightened out. With luck, they can retrieve his call log and recover some phone numbers for him that way. (Doubt his lost phone is remotely accessible by now, it's been 'gone' for over a month.) Maybe he can dump himself on somebody else if he doesn't like the shelter... he'll be trespassing if he comes back here.

That tracks. When there is POS system with a faulty chip reader, and it won't let you slide the card until it demands it (after failing a couple times), I joke that it's a "socialist" card reader: whatever is not mandatory, is forbidden. In Mussolini's formulation: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
Note the socialist equivalence of "outside" with "against." Your personal economic independence is experienced by the socialist state as a mortal threat, equivalent to counterrevolutionary armed insurrection -- and they will in fact murder you for it, then celebrate their virtue.

The first says, “I like accountants on my operating table. When you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”
The second replies, “Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is colour-coded.”
The third says, “No, librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”
The fourth chimes in, “I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would.”
The fifth surgeon shuts them all up: “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. There are only two moving parts—the mouth and the asshole—and they’re interchangeable.”

Neurosurgeon followup Doc appt at end of March. But, the neuropathy of tingling, burning, etc. in arms and hands has gone away. That leaves whether or not I can regain lost strength from the nerve compression. Only time will tell that one.

Depending on how bad it is, you should be able to get a lot of the range of movement back. But it takes a long time if you have been suffering it for long.
It took 3-4 years of cycling to get about 95% of my drop-foot healed after my surgery. My brain is still convinced I have a larger range of motion than I do, but I'm not tripping every 3rd step.

It is a bit strange, you get used to constant nerve pain where the absence of it takes getting used to again.
But, as I was warned, now as the spine readjusts, I do have some neuro-muscular pain below the operation site. Sometimes that increased pressure causes the need for additional surgery down the spine which is why I put it off until losing strength and dexterity.

Holy moly. This is very interesting. March 13, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia regarding the long-standing case *United States v. Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) et al.* (Case No. 1:91-cr-00355).
The entry identifies that a Department of Justice attorney, specifically from the Criminal Division, has formally entered an appearance in the multi-decade litigation. While the court docket has been dormant for many years, This is potential extremely important due to the historical role BCCI played as a primary vehicle for CIA money laundering, clandestine funding of intelligence operations, and its deep entanglement with global elites throughout the 1980s including Epstein.

The Persian Immortal Guard, also known as the Immortals, was the elite infantry unit of the Achaemenid Empire, established by Cyrus the Great. This unit was known for its unwavering commitment to duty, maintaining a constant strength of 10,000 soldiers through a system of immediate replacements for any fallen or incapacitated members. The Immortals were distinguished by their distinctive colorful robes, golden armor, and ornate helmets, symbolizing fertility, abundance, and royal authority. They played a crucial role in pivotal battles such as Marathon and Thermopylae, earning respect across the ancient world for their discipline and martial excellence. The Immortals embodied the idea of enduring power through discipline, responsibility, and loyalty, and their legacy continues to be honored in modern Iran as a symbol of national defense and the eternal vigilance required to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Yes, for the Robo-Ump. I cant recall every detail, but the strike zone will be a plane at the front-to-back center of home plate, 17 inches wide (width of home plate), between X and Y percent of each individual player's height. I can't recall the exact X and Y values. I guess they are about whatever the current definition of the strike zone is, between the middle of the chest and top of the knees. However, each players height entered into the program will be his standing-straight height without cleats. Each player on all the 40-man rosters are being measured now, during spring training. This system has been used for several years in the minor leagues. The MLB players are not all-in for this; the owners are and that's what counts. You can get all the details if you google robo-ump.

The Spartans made mincemeat of them at Thermopylae.

Yes, the core facts check out via Illinois State Bar records, http://Patch.com, Daily Herald, and Northfield police reports: Irina Pavchinskaya-Cedano (aka DefiyantlyFree / Insurrection Barbie) was disbarred May 2017 after pleading guilty to felony theft (~$2k forged
idk the details of what the rest of the "theological" controversy is, but afaik, this is a legit finding about InsurrectionBarbie. Ted Cruz seemed to like her comments, for some reason, so the controversy is of interest.
The other side seems to be about whether "the Jews" (Israel?) is forever "chosen by God". Seems clear that Jesus saw the Pharisees were corrupted, so no, "Israel" is not (all) the chosen ones, while all others are not necessarily (infidels?).
But I "stand with Israel" because they stand against "Islam" (our common enemy), or at least against those not joining the "Abraham Accords". And that alliance seems based on a more "pragmatic Western Islam" than the "radical Islam".
It's all an enigma, wrapped in memes.

That's a good question. I can't recall reading about any ships in WWII that ran-out of anti-aircraft ammo or anti-ship ammo (the main and secondary batteries). I'll bet it happened. Mostly on ships that were sunk after long engagements. Which is why its not in recorded history.

Mostly I side with evangelicals ... BUT, I just don't believe "Israel" was ever God's one and only "chosen people", despite the OT language. There were many times the faithful (the remnant) had to hide in caves from the corrupt ("Jewish") leaders. So even in OT times, birthright was not sufficient.
There are "end times" and some "Jerusalem" I guess, I'm not well versed on Revelation stuff, but Hebrews says "there is no more Jew nor Gentile" ... and I just can't believe it is all about bloodline, even in OT times. (JC mentions the Good Samaritan as opposed to the "Israelite" being a "friend")
But I'll keep working on the details ... there is always the Resurrection of the Just for good people, as opposed to the Resurrection of the unjust for judgment and a second death. I know where to put the rapists and murderers of good people as far as that goes.

The Perpetual Champaign racket works out best for the representatives because the short two year cycle means they can be 'running for office' almost continuously.
While running for office they are on nearly an endless vacation, staying at the best hotels, eating at the best restaurants, being wined and dined by people trying to get favors... basically living like richest people in the world.
In order to keep that up off-season the need to do a little insider trading to become multi-millionaires on ~$100k a year 'job'.

I am looking at things with a fresh perspective and really relearning through a Church that I truly feel an amazing connection. We have been doing an entire series on Moses and I am honestly loving it, it ends next week, but I do feel this covenant exits- god doesn’t go back on his promises. But again, I am learning and relearning so much right now, I am not the expert on this at all. Our pastor breaks it down in such meaningful and understandable ways. I wish I could share the joy and the peace I am getting after each sermon with everyone, it’s been an incredible experience.

I never heard of "integralism" till today.
"Integralism... is an interpretation of Catholic social teaching that argues the principle that the Catholic faith should be the basis of public law and public policy within civil society, wherever the preponderance of Catholics within that society makes this possible."
That seems like Islam ... "when you get a majority, get off the bus/train, impose Sharia/Catholicism". It assumes One (human) Moral Authority is Correct, if it attains a majority?
USA was founded by Protestants, those that opposed One Central Leader, and were willing to let The People choose their own destiny/future. Protestants opposed a central King, Catholics accepted a central Pope, England accepted a central King.

I didn't see that. I am neither Catholic nor Protestant, but I think the "anti-establishment" views on religion relate to the "anti-globalist" and "anti-DeepState" views common to this site are interrelated.
Luther made some good points against the established church, but the Lutheran church of my youth has fully succumbed. Establishments in general SUCK. Constant "revolution" seems like the Mencken Theme of this site, to me.

Trump: I'm Thinking of Seizing Iran's Critical Port Island, Kharg
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that
American industrial production
of sick memes was up 1700%
I don't believe Trump is thinking about American boots on the ground, but the leftwing foreign propaganda press will do anything, say anything to stop this president and prop up any anti-American, anti-human regime to spite Trump.
President Trump is working to assemble a coalition of countries to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and hopes to announce it later this week, four sources tell Axios. Trump is also weighing a seizure of Iran's critical oil depot on Kharg Island -- a move that would require U.S. boots on the ground -- if tankers remain bottled up in the Persian Gulf, U.S. officials say. Why it matters: Oil and gas prices are rising as Iran's blockade of the Gulf's narrow strait drags on, choking off a significant share of the world's crude supply. Iran is blocking Gulf countries from exporting their oil while allowing tankers picking up Iranian crude to pass freely -- keeping its own oil flowing to China and other countries. As long as the blockade holds and Gulf oil is restricted, Trump could not end the war even if he wanted to, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Trump answers critics: "These are naive people that frankly are stupid." In related news, the terrorist who tried to blow up a synagogue full of Jewish children was the brother of a Hezballah terror-commander killed by the Israelis in Gaza. Who the US let into this country, because we have a violent Fifth Column which is always recruiting new soldiers to attack us from within.
Driving the news: In a Truth Social post Saturday, Trump claimed the U.S. and several other countries will send warships to the Gulf to reopen commercial shipping, and called on China, France, Japan, South Korea and the U.K. to help. On Sunday, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One he "demands" that NATO countries and other oil-importing nations -- including China -- help the U.S. secure the strait. "We are talking to other countries about policing the straits. It will be nice to have other countries policing with us. We will help. We are getting a good response," Trump said. Trump said the U.S. is in talks with seven countries and mentioned some had already declined, while stressing that the mission "will be small" because Iran has "very little firepower" left. ... "Most of this oil isn't our oil -- it goes to other countries. So if they want it and they want the price to come down, they need to help out," the official said. ... The intrigue: Trump is drawn to the idea of seizing Kharg Island outright because it would constitute "an economic knockout of the regime" -- essentially defunding Tehran, a third U.S. official said.
Meanwhile: the memes are flowing like wine.
The brother of a terrorist who rammed a vehicle into a Michigan Jewish preschool was a Hezbollah commander, Israel Defense Forces have said. Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, 41, was shot dead after driving the vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Mich., on Thursday. His brother, Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, was responsible for managing weapons operations within a specialized branch of Hezbollah's Badr Unit, the IDF said in a statement Sunday morning. This unit of the Lebanese terror group is responsible for launching hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilians throughout the recent war with Iran, the IDF said.
Ghazali's two brothers, a niece, and a nephew were killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 5 in the town of Mashgharah, Lebanon, just days before the attack, a local official told AP Friday. The family had sat down for their fast-breaking meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when they were struck. Ghazali, who was allowed into to the US in 2011 as the spouse of a US citizen, was granted US citizenship under President Obama in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
After crashing his car, which was packed with fireworks and gasoline jugs, he exchanged fire with an armed security guard before eventually fatally shooting himself after becoming stuck in the blazing vehicle.

The straits will have to remain open for traffic. That's a given. We're stuck with that, now.
The destruction we've wreaked already on Kharg Island might have to be repaired - if lower fuel prices in the West and a semblance of an economy for Iran are a priority. I don't think they're critical factors, though I'm not in charge, so who cares?
An American military presence on the island would be effectively permanent. It would invite attacks on US military and private sector personnel by the mainland sandmaggots. It's a flashpoint.
My inclination would be to maintain the naval presence and just menace the Island from the sea until these people do or do not get their shit together.
That naval presence is a needful thing in any event, and it can probably achieve the objective without committing troops, even in that limited area.

A couple of things: the guy got an immigrant visa to the United States on the basis he was getting married to a US citizen, but was living alone.
So, what happened to the wife? It would not surprise me in the slightest if this was a fake marriage to get him into the US.
We also need to determine - stat - who else in the US is related to Hezbollah commanders, and have them have a little chat with the FBI indicating that they are being watched, and so they can be put into preventive detention if there are more incidents like this.

Three protesters were arrested Wednesday after a confrontation outside the Arkansas Governor's Mansion in Little Rock during an event featuring Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk. Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders hosted the event to promote an education initiative encouraging "Club America" chapters at high schools. "I had the privilege of calling [Charlie Kirk] a friend and seeing firsthand the movement he built," Sanders said. "Bringing Club America chapters to Arkansas high schools will help continue that mission and inspire the next generation of leaders." About 30 protesters gathered outside the mansion, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. Arkansas State Police said a physical altercation broke out between protesters and event attendees. Videos posted online show the chaos escalating as protesters, bystanders, and law enforcement join the scuffle.

This year's design--debuting exclusively with Vanity Fair--is especially unique. The theater has been designed to represent a calming garden courtyard, with greenery woven throughout it. It's an ode to this year's pointedly handmade theme--"A Human Touch"--as well as an attempt to create what feels like a relaxing space in a chaotic world. "There is an unsettled nature around the climate right now, and there's just something very calming about being surrounded by architecture, but having this space for trees to grow," Billingsley tells Vanity Fair. "We are exploring the contrast between the organic and the rigidly architectural, and that creates the feeling that life can exist anywhere."And beneath the veneer: Here's the reality underneath what Hollywood wants you to see:

@grey4626 Ahhh...the Dolby Theatre the morning after: a once-hallowed coliseum of counterfeit grandeur now gutted into a rancid abattoir of shattered bottles, crumpled prestige, and the stench of three hours' worth of performative excess. This isn't "cleanup." This is the autopsy report on Hollywood itself...pathological, terminal, and perfectly representative of the psychic refuse that slithered through its velvet seats. These are not artists. They are a collective personality disorder in couture: narcissistic cluster-fucks whose grandiosity is so brittle that they cannot even contain their own waste. Every empty champagne flute, every discarded gift bag, every sticky condom wrapper of ego left behind screams the same truth...these motherfuckers shit where they eat, then swan off to the afterparty while the invisible brown hands they pretend to champion on stage are left to mop up the evidence of their moral incontinence. It's textbook projection pathology: preach "diversity," "sustainability," "empathy" for the cameras, then treat the working class like disposable wet wipes for your celebrity bullshit. Psychologically, it's exquisite in its lethality. Decades of unchecked adulation have produced a sub-species of human whose prefrontal cortex has atrophied into pure entitlement. They are incapable of object permanence when it comes to consequence; the mess simply ceases to exist once they exit the building. This photo is the mirror they refuse to face...literal filth mirroring the spiritual gangrene rotting beneath the Botox and the scripted tears. Hollywood isn't "problematic." It's a metastatic tumor: malignant, self-replicating, and leaving necrotic sludge in its wake for the proles to excise. Fuck their golden statues. Fuck their standing ovations. Fuck their three-hour circle-jerk of self-congratulation. This trashed mausoleum is the only honest Oscar they earned last night...the trophy of their own degeneracy, captured in high definition for anyone with eyes and a spine to see. The immigrants they exploit will clean it. The rest of us will remember it. And the Hollywood trash will pretend, once again, that none of it ever happened.

The one before was Macbeth and that was shortly before Trump got elected, so at least 10 years.
But even in the heathen Communist toilet Denver, nobody left aftermath like that. At least not ten years ago.
I think if a mob left that behind at the theater in this town, someone would call the cops and demand restitution.
These Hollywood bigshots are just like pigs at a trough.

NBC has a shocking poll that reflects the shift in the Democratic Party. Today, only 13 percent of Democrats have a positive view of Israel. 17 percent favor Israel over the Palestinians.
I think we have solved the woke right mystery….they need an audience to keep them employed and if this is the direction our country is headed, they need to be aligned. Our rewriting of history is paying off dividends for this crowd, isn’t it?
This is just scary.

No, it was completely foreseeable. Go back 30 years ago and you could see how the constant accusations of anti-Semitism any time a conservative piped up was grating on people. There was also the Crown Heights example, and instead of addressing actual bigotry in the Dem coalition, the leaders decided to just ignore it.
Actually, they continued to support it, tolerating it and funding organizations that pushed it because it brought them needed votes. And so here we are.

AI doesn't leave gutters of refuse, trash the IP (lookin' at you, Snow White girl), get $20mil plus a percentage, throw tantrums on the set, make other cast and crew wait for three hours while they sober up, and generally act like psychotic honey badgers. I wish I could be alive for the time when historians write about the days of the Hollywood Celebrity -- a bizarre flare-up in the social psyche that occurred from the early 20th to the mid-21st centuries, another of those unbelievable tales of How We Once Lived.

My husband and I had my immigration interview at the US Consulate in Montreal, we stayed 2 days and really loved it. We went in Aug, weather was perfect, everyone spoke English, taxi drivers were crazy and plenty of shopping and friendly people.
Flying onto the Island of Montreal is exciting and the death-defying taxi ride from the airport to the hotel was a flat fee through highways being expanded and wannabee race car drivers! We wished we had planned a longer visit.
