Ace of Spades Pet Thread, October 10

* * *

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Would you like a treat?

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

But watch out for this guy:

The dog said NO!


A Daily Dose of the American Rev

General George Washington and his British adversary General William Howe had at least one thing in common—they both loved their dogs. Numerous interesting and amusing stories about Washington and his dogs have passed down through history but let us save those for another today. The dog in the historical spotlight today is General Howe’s fox terrier Lila.

On October 4, 1777, Lila was with General Howe during the Battle of Germantown but somehow she became disoriented and lost on the battlefield. When the American army retreated that day, Lila followed it, wandering eventually into the camp of General Washington, wearing a collar that identified her as General Howe’s pet.

While some of the American soldiers thought the dog should be kept as a mascot or trophy of war, Washington disagreed, and he promptly dispatched a courier to return Lila to Howe, along with a note that read:

“General Washington’s compliments to General Howe. He does himself the pleasure to return him a dog, which accidentally fell into his hands, and by the inscription on the Collar appears to belong to General Howe.”

One of Howe’s officers later recounted that the general was thrilled and relieved to get Lila back. This was “an honorable act of a gentleman,” he said, taking her up immediately and putting her in his lap.

Meet The PetMorons

Good morning, probably too late for the thread today, but this is a combo gardening thread/pet thread photo. These popped up in my yard over the last couple of days, Puffballs I believe. Surprisingly large, they will get bigger, sometimes as big as a volleyball.

I don't think Alfred the Great wants us to touch the puffballs, Tom. I wonder why the puffballs think that this is a good time of year to puff?

I understand that the walk and hurricane were successfully negotiated.

My cats aren't as picky about their food as I would have thought.

I ran out of the food that Chloe's previous owner provided me and just gave her the stuff I give my other cats. She adapted quite quickly without any fuss.

Allie doesn't like to eat pate-style cat food, though. She'll only eat the wet food if it's chunky.

Afternoon, all,

Dagny La Siberienne *used* to be picky about her food. No idea why. The meme above has good suggestions. But especially since I've had big black Stirling on his diet, she gets more to eat -- he was stealing half of her chow at each meal -- and eats it with gusto. Not all at once; it takes about four bowl visits. Which means her manservant, me, has to pick the bowl up when she leaves and conceal it where Stirling won't find it. Eventually Dagny comes back and gives me The Look, and I put her bowl down. Rinse, repeat.

5 Whoa. Read the post, then found no comments.

That's okay. First on Pet Thread should be shared by all.

🐈
In the random rotation of feral felines, we are down to three. Well, two now.

One is Angel, a sweet Siamese-looking kitten.

Kinky is your basic pale yellow cat, with a crooked tail; just couldn't use "Crooky" as a name; "Kinky" may be temporary.

"Bumper," another part-Siamese, was usually seen sitting on the bumper of the old obligatory rusting truck. She got caught by the cowboys. They've had her spayed and front claws removed, and are keeping her as a housecat. Still adjusting to home life with other cats, but confined to a bedroom, seems to like the comfy spots and the a/c.

Glad for that. Always concerned for the little critters out here. This week we found the remains of a good-sized hawk by the water tower. Just one big wing. Wonder what got it. (No windmills in the vicinity, but eagles, owls, and muchmore.)

Ony our little old black housecat continues to mostly confine herself to our bedroom. Seems to be half-blind, but manages to crawl up on the bed at night to sleep next to me.

Daisy the magnificent Malinois barks hello and also throw the ball.

8 My friends are busy with a growing family so I feed the cats now with food they brought over. Snowflake and her mom Starry are basically outdoor cats fine with kibble.

They will eat tuna fish happily, the good kind. I was surprised that sardines were a no.

Ralphy is doing well but there's 2 steps from the outside to inside. He was always fine with a bit of running room but the last few days he's been misjudging or something is off. I'll help him down the steps by holding onto his collar.

From now on though, I'll lift him inside the house so he doesn't hurt himself. He is full of life. As long as he can stand up by himself, I'll be there.

He was ALWAYS right by my late Mother's side. He'll be treated the same way.

9 Big Stirling is sleeping on a cushion next to me on the couch. No idea where Dagny is; she could be in her bedroom window sauna, or curled in my desk chair.

Freddy the Freeloader, the gray tabby-with-white shorthair semi-feral, is still visiting frequently. After slopping my feline hogs, I fed him this morning. When I came back from breakfast and errands, the air was still cool enough that I left the door open for a while. Stirling and Freddy immediately faced each other through the screen. Freddy meows; Stirling just looks, no hissing or growling.

I'm not going to let Freddy in. But is it possible that he could pass an infection to Stirling if they touch noses?

We have a Chigi. She was in a shelter until daughter adopted her. It did not work out for her, so of course Hubby and I being saps have adopted her.

Daisy is wonderful and we love her.

It is interesting having her living with us. The way our house was set up when she came to live with us is the way she thinks things should be the same. We move things around and she freaks out. Anything change she freaks out.

Has anyone of ya'll dealt with that??

A major street in downtown Vancouver, BC is named Howe Street, presumably after said general, and is the core of the financial district. No doubt it will soon be renamed to some unpronounceable and unspellable* made-up Indian name.

24 The masked pup demanding treats was adorable. All of our pups loved popcorn as a treat. (Steak would have been preferred but the budget didn't stretch to it.) Never knew if it was the taste of the popcorn, the crunchy texture, or if they just wanted the butter. Over a year since we lost Precious the Bichon, we still are on the verge of tossing some on the floor.

She might have bad memories of things being moved. The previous owner (before your daughter) may have been moving things out of the house (to move house) and the next thing Daisy knew she was sitting in a cage at a shelter.

It’s possibly the most traumatic event in her life, and when she sees stuff moving, she thinks she’s next.

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By

Fall Beets

beets s.jpg

How do you cook fall beets? Do you store beets?

If you can beets, you can use a water bath if they are pickled, but they must be pressure-canned if not pickled.

*

Purchased beets are generally uniform in size, and may be easier for By-Tor's recipe:

I gave my buddy Ed some of my prize winning dill and bread and butter pickles. He must like them because he asked for more. Now comes the real test- pickled eggs and beets. I’ve been eating these since I was a child. Love em. But most people won’t try them because they look weird. They are easy to make.

1 can of beets ( sliced or whole, non-pickled)
2 hard boiled peeled eggs
About a cup of vinegar ( regular or ACV)
1/2 cup of water
3/4 cup of sugar.

Bring vinegar, water and sugar to a low boil until sugar dissolves. This is the brine. Adjust it with more sugar or more vinegar to your liking.

beets n eggss.jpg

Put beets and eggs in a container. Pour brine over until they are covered. Put in fridge. Wait a day. Enjoy. Usually I do two cans of beets and 5 eggs. Then I add more to the brine as I eat them.

I eat these as a side dish to just about everything.

pickled egg lunch.jpg

Post morning tennis lunch- lamb gyro with Greek yogurt , salad and pickled eggs and beets.

Interesting to see the eggs halved.

Another interesting recipe from By-Tor!

Not much to report . Keep,thinking I should cut down the tomato and poblano containers but they just got some new flowers. The tomato especially has a bunch of tiny green tomatoes. Have to wait and see if the storm tomorrow knocks them out. My encore azalea is indeed doing an encore. I love how this area has beautiful flowering plants even in the fall.

11 My cotton try came to naught. I went out last Monday to take the large almost mature bolls, I thought they were large enough to show fiber color at least. I found someone had stripped every single boll off the plant, even the newest just forming. Animals don’t eat the bolls, the plant was undamaged, and some of the bracts had been peeled off and dropped on the steps. Very disappointing.

14 I planted a mix of Rome (also called Cranberry) beans and a Salvadoran red bean when I finished digging my potatoes in July. They are now giving me green beans, and I picked and canned my first 4 pints this week. I think I will be able to continue canning at least once a week until we get the first frost.

Home canned beans are far better than the stuff you buy in cans. I buy my seeds by the pound from the Mexican market in town, the brand is Goya.
Both of those varieties are shell beans, but if I pick them early enough they are tasty green beans as well.

Several years ago I cleaned out my box of old seeds by dumping them into a jar and adding a double handful of cranberry beans and raking them into the dug over potato patch in the idea that it would give me some coverage on the dirt for the fall and keep the weeds in check. It worked but even better I got enough beans to can too. I now have given up planting pole beans in the spring because I can grow bush beans in the late summer.

15 I love pickled beets, but haven't had them since my mom made them when I was a kid. My cousin gave me some pickled okra the other day that is very tasty. Our summer was too hot for everything, but it cooled and started to rain about a month ago, so all my plants grew again. I have green beans, cucumbers and cayennes, with green tomatoes on the vines. Depending on the freeze, which could come any time here, I might get a few tomatoes. If not, I'll pick the green ones and see if they'll turn inside.

35 I've been messing around with a terrarium. I have a bunch of unused aquariums, because I like to upgrade as new models come out for fresh, salt and brackish.

So, recently, I thought I'd do a carnivorous plant terrarium in a 32 gallon tank. I grow a bunch of fruit which has a tendency to attract "fruit flies" when it ripens in the house. Fly Traps, Pitcher plants, Nepenthes...etc. I had no idea how many carnivorous plants were out there until I started looking into it. I've got the base plants set up...pitchers and flytraps. It takes a little bit of research to see what others like the same humidity and heat. It's a long term project.

36 From Boise area: lows 54-59 F, highs 82-89. Fall arrived today - high will be around 55-60. HOA irrigation is now off, though we may get one more watering cycle before the pond drains down.

Final potato harvest was an entire 5 gallon bucket of Russets. Half were dry enough to brush off and weigh, 8 pounds 12 oz. The rest are still in the bucket drying off. Still a small number of tomatoes to pick, though that may end with the weather change. If frost threatens, we'll have to cut all the peppers. I've been cutting and freezing cantaloupe, since the vines are dead.

Bought 2 pumpkins and a spaghetti squash from the young entrepreneurs next door.

I had to put netting on the surface of our new bulb bed to keep cat/s out - I also sprinkled bulb food on top.

Husband pruned some trees, did some painting, worked on repairing the sweeper-cart - and had me dig up debris that had fallen in an irrigation box so he could see the valves and pipes to figure out what issues we'll have next spring - the system is under-designed for the demands on it.

40 I love that smiling green dragon, Eromero!

It's Octobering hard core here in the Mitten. Glorious foliage, sunny, with cool evenings. And no bugs!

I did some desultory puttering, transplanting a pretty blurple aster out front and moving some of my blue salvia to my bare vegetable patch. I had to shake off lots of bees to move it -- " I'm workin' here, lady!" -- but the community garden bees took up the slack. I also gently pulled up rogue snapdragons and marigolds sprouting outside of garden plots and put them in mine.

I've already got kale sprouting.

There are many, many kinds of passion flowers. Some have tastier fruits than others. Some don't make fruits.

I think the one above may be a hybrid rather than a native Maypop.

43 The name "passionflower" comes from the distinctive parts of the flowers, which people compared to the Passion of Christ.

45 @43...thanks. Will look into this as I didn't know.

One August, when I flew West back to college, I brought stuff with me to remind me of home. A magnolia tree seed pod and, once, an osage-orange ball aka "horse apple."

An artist friend was fascinated and wanted to paint both that I took for granted as summer in MS.

In spring we had redbud and dogwood trees blooming in the woods, along with tall vines into oaks of white Cherokee roses. It was lovely.

Real history

thomas sowell slavery.jpg

*

What was peculiar about the West was not that it participated in the worldwide evil of slavery, but that it later abolished that evil, not only in Western societies but also in other societies subject to Western control or influence.
This was possible only because the anti-slavery movement coincided with an era in which Western power and hegemony were at their zenith, so that it was essentially European imperialism which ended slavery. This idea might seem shocking, not because it does not fit the facts, but because it does not fit the prevailing vision of our time.

~ Thomas Sowell, Black Rednecks and White Liberals (2005)

Founding Fathers

A Daily Dose of the American Rev

“No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”

In June 1776, fifteen years before the ratification of the Bill of Rights, Virginia adopted the Virginia Declaration of Rights -- "the basis and foundation of government" in Virginia. The importance of this document to the emergence of liberal democracy in the United States and around the world cannot be overstated. George Mason, principal author of the Declaration, died on this day in 1792.
Below is the Declaration in full.

A DECLARATION OF RIGHTS made by the representatives of the good people of Virginia, assembled in full and free convention which rights do pertain to them and their posterity, as the basis and foundation of government.

Section 1. That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.

Section 2. That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants and at all times amenable to them.

Section 3. That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people, nation, or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration. And that, when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community has an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal.

Section 4. None of mankind is entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which, not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator, or judge to be hereditary.

Section 5. That the legislative and executive powers of the state should be separate and distinct from the judiciary; and that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the burdens of the people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be supplied by frequent, certain, and regular elections, in which all, or any part, of the former members, to be again eligible, or ineligible, as the laws shall direct.

Section 6. That elections of members to serve as representatives of the people, in assembly ought to be free; and that all men, having sufficient evidence of permanent common interest with, and attachment to, the community, have the right of suffrage and cannot be taxed or deprived of their property for public uses without their own consent or that of their representatives so elected, nor bound by any law to which they have not, in like manner, assented for the public good.

Section 7. That all power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority, without consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights and ought not to be exercised.

Section 8. That in all capital or criminal prosecutions a man has a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence in his favor, and to a speedy trial by an impartial jury of twelve men of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found guilty; nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself; that no man be deprived of his liberty except by the law of the land or the judgment of his peers.

Section 9. That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Section 10. That general warrants, whereby an officer or messenger may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence, are grievous and oppressive and ought not to be granted.

Section 11. That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, the ancient trial by jury is preferable to any other and ought to be held sacred.

Section 12. That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotic governments.

Section 13. That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

Section 14. That the people have a right to uniform government; and, therefore, that no government separate from or independent of the government of Virginia ought to be erected or established within the limits thereof.

Section 15. That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.

Section 16. That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity toward each other.

Friends of George Washington

Duane Montague ·
On October 6, 1776, a Connecticut captain sat down and wrote a letter to his wife. He was exhausted and most of his men were sick. The campaign was not going well.

But the first thing he wanted Priscilla to know was this: “you must not think that Distance & long Absence has weaned in the least degree my Affections from you & my family.”

His name was Jonathan Birge.

Unlike many of the names we remember from 1776, Birge was just an ordinary man who heard the call of liberty and answered. A husband from Bolton, Connecticut, and father of six children, Birge was made captain of a company raised from his neighbors and friends.

When George Washington called for reinforcements in 1776, Birge marched south with Connecticut troops to help defend New York.

The British had already taken Long Island, the Continentals were retreating northward. And nobody knew whether the Revolution itself could survive the year.
From camp at Harlem Heights, Birge wrote home, and the picture he painted was not heroic.

"I never saw a worse place to be sick in for we have not one doctor to our whole Brigade in camp…Our people are some what sickly in camp yet."
The living conditions were miserable. He’d lost his pack in the retreat and asked Priscilla for two blankets. The army had finally obtained tents and straw to sleep on, but Birge admitted: “we fare considerably like hogs.”
And yet he refused to pity himself. After describing sickness, shortages, and hardship, he wrote: “I desire not to complain For I am alive & why should a living man complain."

Birge wanted his wife and children to understand why he remained anyway. It wasn’t money, fame, or glory. “It is not all the commissions or pay...it is for the cause of freedom & love to posterity."

A few paragraphs later, he tried to reassure Priscilla that he was healthy and still performing his duties: “I am the only Cpt in the Regiment that is well."
Three weeks later, he was wounded at the Battle of White Plains. An enemy musket ball went into his shoulder. Jonathan Birge died on November 10, 1776, at age forty-two.

A week after Birge's death, three fellow soldiers wrote to Priscilla to tell her that her husband was gone. They regretted his loss deeply.
On October 6, 1776 a father and husband wrote a simple confession that still stirs hearts, 250 years later. He was just an ordinary American who knew exactly what he was risking “for the cause of freedom…”
Five weeks later, his family learned the price.
——————

I believe history matters because legacy matters. The choices we make, the faith that sustains us, and the families we leave behind all become part of a story larger than ourselves. If you enjoy discovering the people behind the history, follow along as we explore the stories, struggles, and legacies that helped shape America.

A Daily Dose of the American Rev


With the resolution for independence about to voted upon in the Congressional Congress, Delaware delegate Thomas McKean was very concerned. Although he strongly favored independence, his fellow Delawarean George Read was opposed. McKean wanted the states to vote for independence unanimously, and he certainly did not want Delaware to have the dishonor (as he saw it) of being the lone holdout. So, on the evening before the crucial vote, McKean dispatched a courier to Dover, 80 miles away, with a crucial message for Caesar Rodney—get to Philadelphia as fast as you can.

Rodney was Delaware’s third delegate, but he was also a brigadier general of the state’s militia and had been forced to return to Delaware to help put down a Loyalist uprising there. He was also in poor health, suffering from asthma and painful facial cancer. But when McKean’s message arrived, Rodney set out for Philadelphia immediately, riding all night through a powerful thunderstorm. After one of the most famous rides in American history, he arrived at what would come to called Independence Hall in the nick of time, “booted and spurred,” exhausted, and mud-covered, to cast the tiebreaking vote in the Delaware delegation. “As I believe the voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men is in favor of independence,” he declared, a green scarf covering his cancer-ravaged face, “my own judgment concurs with them. I vote for independence.”

Caesar Rodney is best remembered for his famous ride, but he served Delaware and the Patriot cause in numerous ways during his life: as a delegate to the Stamp Act Congress, as a general in the state’s militia, as a delegate to the Continental Congress, as a state Supreme Court justice, and as President (chief executive) of Delaware. Even as his health deteriorated, forcing him to cover his face with bandages and rendering him unable to travel, Rodney was elected to the Delaware General Assembly and was chosen Speaker of the upper house. Knowing that he was unable leave his home, in a gesture of respect and honor the Assembly voted to convene in his house, which they did in April 1784, just weeks before his death at age 55.

Today is the birthday of Delaware Founding Father Caesar Rodney, who was born 298 years ago today.

In taking up the Patriot cause, at a time when many fellow wealthy South Carolinians were remaining loyal to the crown, Henry Laurens risked both his life and his substantial fortune. Widely respected across America, he was chosen President of the Continental Congress in November 1777, the highest-ranking executive position under the Articles of Confederation.

Laurens was appointed American minister to the Netherlands after his term ended and in August 1780, he was dispatched to Amsterdam about the packet ship Mercury, charged with negotiating a loan to help finance the war effort. Off the coast of Newfoundland, the Mercury was intercepted by the HMS Vestal, a British man of war. When Laurens realized his capture was imminent, he tossed overboard the trunk containing his diplomatic papers.

A sixteen-year-old new recruit aboard the Vestal saw something tumble into the water off the deck of the Mercury. Believing a man had fallen overboard he called out an alarm. Another British sailor aboard the Vestal immediately dived into the water. But what he discovered was not an unfortunate man in need of rescue, but rather Lauren’s trunk, which had not had time to sink. Taken aboard the Vestal and opened, the trunk was found to contain Lauren’s commission to negotiate the Dutch loan, as well as a draft treaty between the United States and the Netherlands. Laurens was carried to England and placed in the Tower of London, charged with high treason, and Great Britain declared war on the Netherlands.

During Lauren’s first day in the Tower, a band outside his cell taunted him with “Yankee Doodle.” Lauren’s later recalled, “The tune played I suppose in derision of me filled my mind with a sublime contempt and rather made me cheerful.”

Laurens remained confined in the Tower for 15 months, refusing numerous offers of release in exchange for renouncing the American cause and requesting a pardon. “Imprisonment and even death…shall not shake me,” Laurens wrote, rejecting one of the offers. “My conscience acquits me, is serene & undisturbed; if I die, let me die in my integrity.”

General Washington sent both Colonel John Laurens (Henry’s son) and the Viscount Noailles (Lafayette’s brother-in-law) to London to attempt to negotiate Laurens’ release, but their efforts were fruitless. Congress offered to exchange General John Burgoyne (who was a paroled prisoner of war captured at Saratoga) for Laurens, but the British refused, saying that Laurens was a prisoner of state not a prisoner of war and therefore ineligible for exchange. But the truth was that the British authorities had no great desire to see Burgoyne released from parole. Their position dramatically reversed when General Cornwallis was taken prisoner at Yorktown. On December 31, 1781, Laurens was finally released, in exchange for a promise to effect the release of Cornwallis from parole.
After his release from the Tower, Laurens finished his much-delayed journey to Holland and there he negotiated the terms of a desperately needed loan. He would go on to be one of the American commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Paris, the peace treaty that ended the Revolutionary War and secured American independence.

Henry Laurens was imprisoned in the Tower of London on October 6, 1780, two hundred forty-six years ago today.

The image is a portrait made while he was being held in the Tower.

The Week in Pictures: Electile Dysfunction Edition

So Secretary of State Marco Rubio outraged the Woke Industrial Complex by standing up for Western Civilization (gasp!). If he keeps this up, he might be president someday. Meanwhile, in fake news, Missouri’s department of prisons is thinking of hiring some Canadian doctors from Canada’s MAID Service to conduct future death row executions, while Cornell and other universities are thinking about ending their “sex week” offerings that greenlight “consensual” orgies at frat houses. And behold the irony that while South America is turning almost uniformly right-wing in recent elections, American voters seem poised in three weeks to transform the country in to a banana republic. Talk about being “blue-pilled”!

While the media have been uniformly against broadcasting any news that benefits Trump, I firmly believe that the people of this country still remember what a disaster the Dems were when Biden was POTUS less than two years ago, and that the Dems have absolutely no plan for how to fix the supposed problems that Trump has saddled us with.

32 None of mankind is entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which, not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator, or judge to be hereditary.

The entire (D) party is made up of people that 100% disagree with this statement and in fact their life is spent trying to overrule these basic ideas.

36 George Mason was the author of the Fairfax Resolves and the Virginia Declaration of Rights, but did NOT sign the Constitution, despite being one of the authors, because it didn't originally include a Bill of Rights.

Madison didn't really want a BofR, claiming it was unnecessary, but promised one for the period after the signing. I don't really know why he bothered opposing it. If I'd have been him, I'd have said "Fine, it's not necessary, but I'll give you one. It can't hurt." Perhaps he was worried it would become yet another bone of contention in a Congress that already had plenty.

40 Texas

When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.

100% of the Biden Administration set up to destroy these ideas and make the "people" poor, powerless, and oppressed.

I never heard of her but . . .

Country music singer Ella Langley is facing an online backlash. But it’s not about political statements, as is the case with many celebrities. It’s not even about her music.
People are incensed at her because she posted pictures of herself posing with deer she hunted. Now, people on social media are all in a tizzy because she enjoys the same activities as many male country singers.
. . . .
Country Chord documented people calling her an "industry plant" and saying she was basically MAGA. In the screenshots circulating online, the language gets uglier still: "trailer trash," "b*tch."

76 On a more positive note, and in re. to the founding of the country, I was doing some genealogy work a number of years ago on my family. We go back to pre-revolutionary times, but when I was a kid, we were one step up from poor white trash, and most of the people around us were poor white trash.

Funny thing was, in doing the research, and reading all sorts of "History of this County," historic land ownership records, and the like, I started seeing all these familiar family names. Turns out most of the poor white trash around us also went back to revolutionary times. Most, if not all, of my peers were ignorant of the fact. Most, I'm sure, would not have cared, but I always wondered that if they did, would it change their outlook on things? IDK.

I've been voting since the '70's. I have never voted for a D. Never will. They wanted to send me to Vietnam. Nixon (R) got it stopped before I was 18.

D's wanted to take my livelihood away or curtail it via DEI/Affirmative Action my entire adult working life and have actively worked to make me and other white males less employable/promotable. Ditto with public safety.

Before you say I'm rayyycisssss, take a look at any college scholarship book (if they still exist). See how many scholarships are specifically reserved for minorities/females.Now try to find one reserved for 'white males only'.

I'll wait.

121 Regarding Section 5 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights ...members of the two first ...should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, And bringing to it Article V from the Articles of Confederation ...no person shall be capable of being a delegate for more than three years in any term of six years (delegate's terms were all for one year), Congressional Term Limits were contemplated under the formation of our government, and it is a grave oversight in our Founding that the Constitutional Convention did not include them in the final document.

Notice, too, how the Articles of Confederation did not forbid a person from serving again after being "term limited" out of office, thereby providing response to the argument against term limits of "you should not tell us who is to be our representative." Such a term limited individual is well eligible to hold office again; he needs merely to requalify himself.

I wish the proposals (which I've seen) for a term limiting amendment under an Article V Convention would include something like that.

I know my kids want these things when I go, and my middle one wants my pristine mid mod bedroom set that is currently in storage because I refuse to part with it.

If the silverware is real, I would absolutely buy it from you. My mom gave her set to my brother (my sister got the crystal), but I would have loved to have gotten that, too.

The real problem is electoral laziness. The system expects and demands citizen participation but citizens do not want to do that, because it’s too hard and “why should I?”

Term limits are simply a lazy solution for the lazy, by the lazy, which results in the electorate being MORE lazy. Which makes things worse.

138 Tenure among our "elected" officials won't likely change anytime soon. It's a lifelong profession for most. Sometimes that tenure extends into the afterlife.

*shrugs*

It's a problem. But so's the same compulsion among aids and staffers who latch onto someone's office and as long as it remains (R) or (D) they remain employed. And many have an agenda of their own that may, or may not jive with the Congress member they "work for."

They also exert undue influence on the weak minded in Congress (which is significantly under reported.) McConnell's absence, yet no real public push back from anyone other than the media and Democrats demonstrates staffers influence on Congress.

156 Asperger was the inventor of autism, which was used as a pretext (one of many) for eugenic murder by the nazi government.

Which is really odd, in and of itself.

Because every really "smart" person you'll ever meet is a bit Autistic. Part of the trick is to figure out how to ride it, manage it, and be as high-functioning as you can with it.

Same for every good artist and musician (same word for two different mediums). Same for most every truly high-functioning person that makes it in their field.

It takes crazy to do the crazy to make it. And I would have thought the Nazi's, of all people, would have appreciated that. Because a bunch of them fuckers were indeed Autistic-Crazy.

Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Waters Meet.)

1) This is an open thread, feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate. Prayers are always good and welcome.
2) Be kind. Be nice. Or something, something.....
3) No! You may not run, jog, sprint or power walk with sharp objects.

5) Have a great weekend!

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:

9/12 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for the W family for comfort and strength as they grieve. The deceased was a sweet 92 year old, despite some big tragedies in her life.

9/15 – Sal asked for prayers as wildfires are out of control in the north of the area and threatening the county seat. They are evacuating part of the town. Sal is not in any danger.

9/17 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update with good news and bad news. The bad news is that she has a 9mm mass on her lung, which means the cancer has metastasized outside of her liver. The pump is keeping the cancer in her liver at bay for now. The good news is that they can zap the nodule out of her lung and will watch for if any more nodules appear. As long as this is the only one, the radiation should suffice. She meets with a radiation oncologist on 9/25.

9/18 – Random Dave posted an update to his job progress. He is still looking for FT work, but has accepted a substitute teacher position (more flexibility for interviews, some income to slow the bleeding). He asks for prayers that the interview results he is waiting on will get back to him soon, especially if one is the “right job”. If any are “not the right job”, they would fall away soon and get back to him, and that if all of them are “not the right job”, the ‘right job” would show itself aggressively, so he doesn’t miss it! He also thanks the Horde and the folks at church for their prayers and support.
8/14 Update – Random Dave needs continued prayers for his job situation, that God would guide him to the right one soon, and also for prayers for M’s grandmother, who fell the other day and tore a ligament.
10/1 Update – M’s grandma is healing. They are still praying for complete healing and mobility.

9/18 – Tonypete asked for prayers for #1 son. He has something going on which is, as yet, undiagnosed. He is under care now, so that is a positive step. Prayers also for his wife and daughter #2. Mom is a spoiled princess who consistently chooses the worst path of action regarding #2.

9/18 – Brother Tim posted that he has been overnight in his car more than indoors. He is convinced that his retirement/resignation was a severe error, a result of fatigue and depression. He asks for prayers.

10/8 – D asks for blessings on the Texas MoMe participants, as they travel and as they enjoy the event – and especially blessings on the organizers.

10/8; Mis. Hum. ditto's D's prayer for the organizers and participants of the upcoming Texas MoMe.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

They've been trying. Thing I've noticed hereabouts is that family is expected to look after the needy, and wider services are something of an afterthought. In theory this is closer to the model a lot of us would prefer (private action over state control) but in practice, after generations of government-induced atrophy and strangling regulations, it doesn't work smoothly. Also sucks when closest family is a state away.

Oh well. At least God provided shelter from the storm. Now I gotta figure the rest out, as usual.

I suppose it's a good thing that I don't look to comedians for instruction in theology. Mr. Rock actually comes pretty close to re-stating the Albegensian Heresy (i.e. the Cathars) that held that the god of the Old Testament was Satan - who created the material realm -- and in opposition to the god of the New Testament -- who created the spiritual realm.

There's a fairly decent book, A Most Holy War by Mark Gregory Pegg, that examines the Albigensian Crusade. You do have to filter-out Pegg's disdain for the Catholic Church and his lack of understanding of religion, but he provides plenty of quotations of primary sources.

80 (2 of 2) The Catholic Church had been sending missionaries into the Albigensian region of France for about 200 years prior to the crusade. St. Bernard of Clairvoux had actually gotten driven out of the region by a mob. St. Dominic finally hit upon the idea of founding a mendicant order to preach against the heresy, and was having some pretty good success.

Then a Papal legate was murdered by a knight supporting the Cathars. Then the Albigensian Crusade got called in earnest.

The Cathars were not innocent victims of genocide, and the Catholics of the region tended to shelter them and fight the crusaders. Hence the reason things got pretty ugly.

But the underlying motivation for the Albigensian Crusade was the salvation of souls. Fast-forward to today, and we find plenty of "Christian" pastors preaching heresy: they're also leading the souls of the unwary to Hell.

I would add that Public Justice is always forgotten when mankind abandons following the Judeo-Christian Ethic. Only Jews and Christians hold the teaching that mankind is made in the image of God, and He gave us 10 Commandments to govern our behavior.

Things go better when we obey the Judeo-Christian Ethic, and go pretty $h!tty when we disobey. Almost as if the Judeo-Christian Ethic was divinely inspired. But the oh-smart Lefties tell us that there is no God, only will-to-power. Funny how they're a bunch of unhappy, miserable lunatics.

127 Uh, Brave AI completely disagrees:

Adolf Hitler was never literally named Schicklgruber. The name Schicklgruber was the surname of his paternal grandmother, Maria Anna Schicklgruber, and was originally borne by his father, Alois Hitler.

Alois's Birth: Born in 1837 out of wedlock, Alois took his mother’s surname, Schicklgruber, as was customary at the time.

Name Change: In 1876, when Alois was 39 years old, he legally changed his surname to Hitler (likely a variation of his stepfather Johann Georg Hiedler's name) to legitimize himself.

Adolf's Birth: Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, twelve years after his father had already adopted the surname Hitler.

The belief that Hitler’s "real name" was Schicklgruber is a historical myth that originated during World War II, where Allied forces and opponents used the name to mock him by associating him with his illegitimate birth and his grandmother’s surname. Historians, such as Alan Bullock, have confirmed that Adolf was born and lived his entire life as Adolf Hitler.

Senator Chris Murphy, "I strongly believe a woman has the right to make decisions about her own reproductive health. And I believe that abortion is a core health service."

The tragic killing of Iryna Zarutska and the video from the bus on which she died, ignited a major political and public safety debateat the national level.

I can't remember where I read it (it might have been Bl. Fulton Sheen or Pope Benedict XVI), but every attempt to create Heaven on Earth, results in Hell on Earth. While it's a secular book, Friedrich von Heyak's book The Road to Serfdom makes the point that one of the attractions of Socialism that it makes the selfish feel better about their lack of charity.

143 Speaking of Hitler…

I saw a Reddit discussion about cost of living in various cities. Yeah I know Reddit but still. The question was posed by a German who is moving to America and wanted to get a sense of cost of living in different areas.

What was weird was how so many people focused on cars. Along the lines of you can live in flyover country and it’s cheap, however you have to own a dirty horrible polluting awful not good car. But in the Valhalla of blue city costal shuttles you are free from car ownership and can walk or take transit everywhere.

I mean sure that’s something to consider since if you live in NYC you don’t need a car and that is a significant monthly cost saved. But it wasn’t just that. It was this deep seated hatred against the cars themselves.

The left has indoctrinated a good chunk of people to loathe cars. And it’s vocable in the percentage of young people who have a license. It has been steadily dropping since the mid 2000s.

It’s not just the car. It’s the lifestyle of owning a home, having freedom to move as you please. Their version of good living is a cramped apartment, with no ability to ever leave the area. The 15 minute city.

Oh, fully understood. We're in agreement, although I think it's a bit more accurate to characterize Communism as an inversion of Christianity rather than a Christian heresy.

Paul Kangor's book The Devil and Karl Marx really opened my eyes to the Satanic influence upon Communism. It's a spiritual struggle against Communism, not an economic struggle. That's why the utilitarian arguments against Communism always fail.

Chatting with an older family friend yesterday, she recounted a story of her friend showing her a picture of her granddaughter from a recent visit.

One reason why a certain percentage of people are refusing to budge on the trans thing is that they cannot accept the guilt for mutilating their kid. They have no way to process through it, so they build a bunker of denial.

We're already seeing how that is being bypassed by lawsuits and regulations targeting the doctors. Nice thing about lawyers, they can always be trusted to chase deep pockets.

Ultimately, it will go away when it ceases to have social value and we are moving that way. Hegseth casually ripping on trannies is part of this. The more those people are looked at with disdain, the faster it will end, and there is already a huge shift among young people because of the growing stigma attached to it.

It's a really interesting dynamic. On one hand, we have the DSA blue-haired idiots who know nothing veering into Jew hatred and on the other we have huge numbers of college students pouring into the churches. The Southern Baptist Convention is reporting record adult baptisms as well, even as the Mainline churches wither away.

One of the interesting changes to RCIA/OCIA/Becoming Catholic over the past ten years is how much younger the sponsors are. A decade ago, it was mostly middle-aged or older adults, but now it's college kids, either cradle Catholics or converts. A former pagan talked at our last session about the "voice" of the Goddess trying to keep him, and God bringing him away from it.

That's another difference. Spiritual warfare is front and center now.

Europeans just do not grok how big the U.S. is. I was talking to a bartender (h/t to Gianluc for the great Aperol spritzes) that mentioned that he would like to visit both New York City and Los Angeles. I warned him that he should try to visit both cities in the same visit: America is just too big.

He asked "Are they 1000 kilometers apart?" I consulted the Intertubes on the distance and did the math: I answered, "No it's more like 4000 kilometers apart." Dude was dumbfounded. He just couldn't conceive of that distance.

It's a generational thing. Pope Leo is doctrinally sound in many areas, but his generation is steeped in the progressive worldview that we've gotten over racism, and sexism and such, and the death penalty is just another relic.

With the exception of some old stalwarts, that's the prevailing view (also suspicion or hatred of the TLM). But among the younger clergy, you see very orthodox teaching and practices. I just wish the bishops worried less about social posturing and more about converting souls. Putting a man in a living hell does nothing for soul, but knowing death is near focuses the mind on the hereafter.

At my former church, there's a woman who is a little nutty. It became obvious she was going to trans her kid early on (pre-k she was constantly changing between genders via clothes and radical haircuts). The family moved to Europe for a few years, and upon return, the transing had officially taken place. Mom got involved in everything at church, even got a job within the church. Then the prayer requests started for the kid- dealing with depression, etc. Something new each week, always vague. Kid starts volunteering with youth group (because of course, xe has to mentor younger kids). It was like this big project by the family that needed to be implemented at all levels.

Last I heard, the mom has withdrawn from all church groups to deal with. . . something. We're just praying there won't be a suicide.
The whole thing is so, so sad. Obvious from the start that the mom did this to the kid.

199 The “Euros don’t drive” thing is another fairly tale the left believes in. Europeans do own cars. A fuckton of cars. Even in the densest busiest cities it’s packed full of cars. What Europe for the most part does have is restrictions on parking in cities making it damn near impossible to drive in from the suburbs, hence the use of trains. But those people do own cars.

Another leftist fairy is how everyone in Europe takes the train everywhere for long distance travel. Uhm no not really. Trains are used for sweet spot trips like 200-400 miles between major metro areas. It beats flying and driving usually. But nobody is taking the train from Berlin to Paris. That’s a 8-10 hr train ride. They take the 2 hr flight instead.

Well said. The old "Hippy Generation" clergy is dying-out and being replaced by a much more orthodox younger clergy. Hence the the temper trantrums of the old bishops: they know that their "reforms" are being swept away and the old Sacred Traditions are being re-embraced.

I'm not ready to write-off Pope Leo XIV yet. Doctrinely, he is much better than Pope Francis. I think Pope Leo is the transitional Pope we need, not the Pope the Traditionalists want.

They may move first. There's a growing divide between Dublin and the rest of the country. And the Catholics and Protestants in the North are getting close -- it's been British police since Cromwell to keep them divided.

Muslim Invaders are a flashpoint. The native Irish and the native Scots-Irish will go violent if sufficiently provoked.

212 198 The things I learn around here; one of many reasons to love hanging out here. Because it came up I looked into it. Yep… Hitler’s dad was born illegitimate and briefly used the surname Schticklgruber…. But only briefly

---------

Maria Schickelgruber was Alois' mother. Since Alois was born illegitimately and the father either wasn't known or wasn't identified, by default he became a Schickelgruber.

213 But only briefly. He’d legally adopted the surname Hitler (variation on Heidler) well before Hitler was conceived. I’d always wondered why Schticklgruber occasionally comes up in the gray boxes…

I read John Toland's massive biography years ago, but IIRC, Hitler was from a rural area and at that time, farming was still done using traditional methods, meaning more kids meant more production capability, and attitudes regarding marriage among the peasants (who did not have much in the way of property) was lax.

The stigma came when you went to the cities, and the Hitler family was trying to rise out of rural poverty. Much of Hitler's anger in Vienna was because Austria was socially stratified, which is why he joined a Bavarian regiment in World War I.

One of the longest practical drives entirely within Ontario would be between Point Pelee, near Leamington, and Pickle Lake in Northwestern Ontario.

Point Pelee is near the southernmost point of mainland Canada, while Pickle Lake sits at the northern end of Ontario's provincial highway network.

Point Pelee National Park

ROUGH ESTIMATE · ONE WAY
2,200–2,400 km

Approximately 25–30 hours of driving, excluding lengthy stops.

Damn. I forget how massive this province is.

Much of the laity still have a good opinion of him, even the ones that grew to dislike Pope Francis.

There are some Traditionalist Catholics on the Tube of Ewes that I have stopped watching: everything seems to be "Pope Leo is just like Pope Francis" when that is simply not true. AHL helped me realize that their revenue on Youtube is getting "hate clicks." Hard pass.

I got to see Pope Leo XIV from only about 20 feet away during a General Audience. Maybe he's a great actor, but I just got the impression of great love for the laity gathered there and his happiness.

They had several, but they were a long time ago and things have been generally quiet ever since. That has lulled them into a sense of security.

But the 17th Century was almost non-stop warfare, culminating in the Glorious Revolution of 1689, which created the first Bill of Rights and those events directly influenced the Founding Fathers. The British system worked for the British, but importing Pakistan has broken it, and what happens next remains to be seen.

The UK is an outlier. Much of Europe has more relaxed firearms laws. Ownerships rates in the high 30s to low 20 percent range.

The thing is that civil-military relations are not like they are here. Europe still has a military caste who make up the officer corps and enlisted ranks. The flash point could well be when troops are ordered in and they refuse orders. The left rioting in France is supposed to scare the populace away from voting for the Nationalists, but it is likely having the opposite effect.

Tech News

  • Asus is marketing its ProArt GR1X Spark as a low-mid-range gaming PC. (WCCFTech)

    Expect to pay about $6000 if it's anything like Microsoft's Surface RTX Spark Dev Box. So about four times what it's worth.


  • Automattic's interim CFO, who replaced the previous CEO after previously documented boardroom shenanigans, is being replaced. (Tech Crunch)

    Mostly because he quit after just days in the role.


  • Anthropic says you can't be mean to Claude this Christmas. (The Register)

    I'm fine with that so long as I can still be mean to Anthropic, who deserve it far more.


  • Triple-A Minesweeper. (Minesweeper)

    These mines must go so I must sweep.


  • So, I tested out my newly-built synthesizer on the can-can (the Galop infernal from Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers) and it sounds like dog poo. Or more precisely, it sounds like two or three SID chips from the Commodore 64 wired together to provide wider polyphony.

    I've grabbed a few hundred megabytes of public samples of orchestral instruments to tune the wave forms and envelopes, because deriving them from scientific papers worked about as well as a blind man painting a sunset.

    Update: Improvement. Now it sounds like an early Yamaha synthesizer that had something crawl into its power supply and die there. Rendering it to WAV files instrument by instrument to find the offending insect.

    Update Too: Got it. My insect in the power supply analogy was apt; the buzz was an artifact of 15 wavetable voices' ADSR envelopes being updated simultaneously in sync with the video frame - a 60Hz buzz overlaid on the music and inaudible for a single instrument. Interpolating the envelope steps now, which should push it significantly down in volume and up in frequency.

37 That is the strangest way of developing 60-cycle hum that I have ever heard of. Usually it's the result of a single-coil guitar pickup picking up the building's wiring's alternating current flip-flop, which is why it's called mains hum. (Though because it's a physical electromagnetic process, you may be actually hearing the second harmonic at 120 Hz.)

Incidentally, since Europe has its AC power frequency at 50 Hz, with the resulting audible sound from electric guitars induced at 100 Hz, bands playing there will find their speakers humming at a low G instead of A#/B. Not that it matters for an artifact from a digital audio process tied to the video refresh rate.

Microsoft Outlook does that to me regularly.
I used to send my boss screenshots of what I was working on, months and months ago, but Outlook got it in its head that I’m supposed to send him screenshots all the time so now it asks me if I am sure I want to send this email without an attachment every time I send an email.

Just the fact that you’re writing camera drivers is impressive enough for me.

It’s an Nvidia product, which means it should use its own AI to write its own drivers, if you ask me.

Chat co-ordinates and I've had him come up with documentation, example scripts, we have a workflow, a folder system things are supposed to go to. And even when I tell a session the attached scripts work, DO NOT MODIFY, they still modify.

You're right. I introduced an unauthorized change to your proven workflow.

I dreamed from the POV of a young woman starting at a company and being assigned to watch over a system. If a particular green light came on, you had to hop over and press a certain button, or things might all fall down. Well, I didn't realize, and nobody told me, it was a "stay awake for 36 hours" shift, and I took a nap at one point. The alarm light went off. I woke up in time to hit the button, but the CEO -- a young guy -- said, "We have to keep you busy at that desk." I woke up before he decided just how to do that.

Wisconsin Woman Pretended to be School Teacher So She Could Hurl Racial Slurs at Children, Call Kids Fat, Segregate Students by Race

A Wisconsin woman pretended to be a school teacher so she could abuse white children and segregate the students by race.

Amy Jones, 23, posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee on September 24.

Jones told investigators she was “bored,” so she went to the high school and told staff that she was a substitute teacher.

Staff at Rufus King High School allowed Jones to substitute teach for the day after eight other teachers called in sick.

I recall one scene where they are picking up two environmentalist kids who’d been protesting for bears and they ended up getting mauled to death by a bear.

They’re arguing with each other about how neither one of them really cared bout the bears they just wanted to be near the other person and the bear protest was theurvway of doing it.

Pretty funny as I’m sure that’s how it is for most of these protestors just using the protest as a cheap date night.

I am so tempted lately to put it up and put labels on it:

"Scammers"
etc.

But... I'd probably break it within a week if I did *that*

"Although the district court’s injunction applies only to plaintiffs and certain other specified persons, the Department has determined to exercise its enforcement discretion to create greater uniformity, consistent with the Attorney General’s statement today. Consequently, effective October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any other weapon” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the litigation."

On a related gun note, United States v. Miller ( 1939 ) was adjudicated incorrectly by the Justices' own logic. The defendant was not able to defend, and the court decided that sawed-off shotguns had no military use, which of course they do and did back then; if you are in cramped fighting conditions like house-to-house and room-to-room fighting, they are quite applicable.

38 Ok, from the horse's mouth, ATF site:

"Under ATF’s guidance, ATF will not enforce the requirements for individuals to apply and receive ATF approval before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors (silencers), and certain other concealable firearms known in the law as “any other weapons.” ATF also will not enforce the NFA’s registration, tax-stamp or related requirements for those covered items. The $200 tax remains in place for machine guns and destructive devices. The NFA requirements apply in full to those weapons.

The guidance does not supersede state and local laws that restrict NFA firearms. Because many state laws require individuals to register NFA firearms, ATF will continue to process NFA applications that are submitted. The guidance also does not affect the Gun Control Act’s requirement to obtain ATF approval before transporting short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns in interstate commerce. Individuals may obtain that approval by filing a Form 20, whether or not the item is registered under the NFA."

107 On a related gun note, United States v. Miller ( 1939 ) was adjudicated incorrectly by the Justices' own logic. The defendant was not able to defend, and the court decided that sawed-off shotguns had no military use, which of course they do and did back then;

They knew what they wanted to do and they did it. The decision said that it "was not in judicial notice" that short barreled shotguns had military use. Which was true since the defense did not show up and presented no evidence at all. They choose intellectual dishonesty.

Could be. The shears were only $19.99, seem like good value for the price. I looked at a more expensive slidy kind of carpet gadget, like a plane, with a vertical blade in it, but couldn't find a convincing video to show its use. I have an old hooked-blade type of carpet knife but have not tried it; kinda dull.

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

An Aussie guy I know was out drinking in Canada with another Aussie mate. His mate left early to go back to the flat they were sharing in Vancouver. He was then accosted in a dark alley by two men with knives.

Being absolutely drunk, the mate failed to pick up on the men's intent - or their knives - and simply pushed them aside saying, "Nah, sorry mate, I'm Australian." And just continued on his way.

The poor fellow later realized that he'd brushed off two armed muggers by tell them he was Australian and ignoring them.

You know why Minnesota wins the "weirdest town name" contest?

Because the weirdest town names in Wisconsin and Georgia also exist in Minnesota.

We gots a Nimrod, a Climax, and an Embarrass.

Climax is pretty close to Fertile. Cummings is also close, but just across the river in North Dakota.

Embarrass has the "unofficial" record low for Minnesota at -64F. (The thermometer was rated accurate, but it wasn't a National Weather Service thermometer. Boo!)

Wiki:
Embarrass is the coldest place in Minnesota. In winter 2000–2001, the temperature in Embarrass did not rise above freezing from November 24 to March 1; the high for meteorological winter (December to February) was 32 °F on January 10. The coldest calendar month on record (since 1995, with some months missing data) in Embarrass was January 2014, with an average temperature of −8.3 °F (−22.4 °C).

Brilliant episode to choose! I’ve often used that as an example of almost perfect writing.

Glassing them in with vents around the room works much better.

230 Our fireplace had glass doors and an insert with dual fans. Kept the whole house toasty, without sooting it up. (much)

231 I kinda miss the place BF and I were renting. There were built-in bookcases on either side of fireplace-- took up the whole wall and had full-length mantel over all of it. Had an outlet in the middle and small windows above. Christmas decorating was fun there!

232 Before modernity, Uncle had a place in the country that the only heat was open hearth but he ran conductive ductwork to all the rooms. As you said, toasty.
He was a busy man feeding that thing.

234 >>He was a busy man feeding that thing.

Yep, that's the problem with fireplace-only heating. Keep stoking it! But you need to sleep *sometimes* and so it can be chilly in the morning.

I'm a sissy. When the pellet stove is operating correctly, which is most of the time, I can keep the house warm without too much effort (comparatively). I have a box fan in that room, to move the warm air out to the rest of house.

Just add a bag a day. Shut down for cleaning once a week. Remove & clean soot out of z-pipe once a month. Pray the motors don't crap out (keep spares on hand always!)

@realDonaldTrump
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

37 So last thread talked about Talarico and mental hospital. Reminds me of the great story about Earl Long, Huey Long's brother.

Earl was serving as governor of Louisiana back in the 50s or 60s, for like the third term. He pissed off his wife somehow, so she had him committed to a state mental institution. The problem was that it was the state mental institution. He fired everyone there because he was the governor, walked out, hopped on a plane to Dallas, got a quickie divorce, came back to Baton Rouge, served out his term and ran for US Senate and won, I think. So no, being committed does not damage your chances of election. At least in Louisiana! Maybe Texas is different.

Yes, so we're skeptical about both the hype and the dooming. What's left is a fantastic symbolic robot.

If you know how to do something with symbols (which cuts out know-nothings), and you are willing to learn how to use 'AI' to automate it (which cuts out those set in their ways), then you can increase your individual productivity by orders of magnitude -- potentially even cutting out the need to work with people.

If dad had build them their own "pirate ship"of a network, like Adam Carolla did, maybe they'd have a shot at that. But Adam's kids weren't raised by a stupid dad, so I think they realize they aren't entitled to it and might not have the talent for it.

Jane Doe in the Cornell case is being renamed "Train Doe," and she's been doxxed. I'm not gonna share her real name, but it's out there now, as are pictures of her. I blame college sorority movies, but I had a WAY different image in my head of her vs how she looks.

The same people shrieking about her name being doxxed, were probably gleeful the juror was doxxed in the Lindsay Clancy case. They both have a right to privacy in their respective court cases. But society is garbage right now so here we are!

Every heard of the Storm of October 1804? It's also famously known as the "Snow Hurricane," made landfall in New Jersey on Oct 9th. Striking near Atlantic City, the storm hit the coast as a strong Cat 2 or weak Cat 3. It is celebrated in meteorological history as the first tropical cyclone ever recorded to produce snowfall. Wild stuff

• Maritime Devastation: The hurricane sank or beached numerous ships along the Mid-Atlantic coast. A ship was run aground near Absecon, and a ferry capsized in the Delaware River near Trenton

• Coastal Damage: Strong storm surges and high winds battered coastal communities, tearing up docks and wharves

136 Haven't even checked on surf. All week during the disgusting heat wave the weather channels were talking about dangerous heavy surf. It was typical late summer 2-3 foot poor form surf, nothing unusual. Long since conditioned to the theater kid hysterical drama culture of "dangerous heat" and "extreme heat" - i.e, it's gonna be hot, like it has a zillion times before.

But the total disconnect between reality and dire surf predictions was sort of novel.

The sort of surge shown in the linked video happens at least every couple of winters, usually when storms coincide with king tides, etc. In most places nothing more than a few blocks from the sand is affected.

We did at the *very last* minute get rapid core collapse in Hurricane #Isaias as extreme wind shear finally began ventilating the eye. Central pressure rose 13mb in 2 hours between the last two aircraft measurements, and the eyewall structure on radar fully opened up.

However, highly dangerous conditions are ongoing on the ground as Isaias nears imminent landfall in the vicinity of Destin, #Florida. Hope everyone stays safe tonight.

Of course if they add that occurrence they're gonna need to adjust that stupid graph that accompanies showing a virtual flat line of county storms until the 1990s.

165 Earl was serving as governor of Louisiana back in the 50s or 60s, for like the third term. He pissed off his wife somehow, so she had him committed to a state mental institution. The problem was that it was the state mental institution. He fired everyone there because he was the governor, walked out, hopped on a plane to Dallas, got a quickie divorce, came back to Baton Rouge, served out his term and ran for US Senate and won, I think. So no, being committed does not damage your chances of election. At least in Louisiana! Maybe Texas is different. Posted by: SimoHayek at October 09, 2026 07:52 PM (IeYnM)

168 Do you want to say the name in English or Spanish? Since I am (primarily) an English speaker, I will say it like the English pronunciation of Isaiah, but with an “s” at the end. The original Douay-Reims translation of the Bible called the prophet Isaias. This is closer to the Koine Greek rendering of his name which was, of course, originally Hebrew.

AI Companies are Wargaming a Public Relations Campaign to Assauge Citizens After a "Catastrophic" AI Event -- Which They Predict Will Happen Next Year

This is worrying.


Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.

Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

The first example of significant real-world harm caused by unsafe AI would turn an already wary public further against the technology and its leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as well as President Trump for his reluctance to regulate it.

Threat level: While scenario planning is common within many companies and national security settings -- the Pentagon has been running war games for decades -- the difference is that many top AI researchers and executives believe a major incident is inevitable.

...

Zoom in: The blame game will start whether a rogue-agent swarm breaks containment from an internal testing environment or a bad actor finds unexpected ways to use available models.

...

Between the lines: The planning involves red-teaming for worst-case scenarios. It focuses mainly on racing to educate members of Congress.

Company executives know regulation has no chance of passing right now, but still want to shape the legislation and policies U.S. leaders will turn to after a first catastrophic event.

What we're watching: Many AI industry insiders told Axios they believe a major event will occur in the next six to 12 months.


In related news: AI is being used by pedophiles to create virtual child exploitation material.


It wasn't all that difficult for someone with Steven Anderegg's technical background to start creating AI-generated images of naked children.

Anderegg had spent nearly two decades as a software engineer when he allegedly downloaded a program called Stable Diffusion to his laptop at home in Wisconsin, where he lived with his wife and child, according to court documents. At the time, Stable Diffusion was a relatively new AI model that could turn text prompts into life-like images almost instantly. The technology was also open-source, which meant its codebase was available online for free. Anyone with a certain level of technical chops could operate it on their own computer.

After Anderegg downloaded the software, he allegedly prompted it to generate illicit photos of children, instructing the software not to return images of adults and other things he didn't want to see. He then is accused of sending them in October 2023 to a 15-year-old boy on Instagram, which caught the attention of law enforcement. By the time police eventually arrested 42-year-old Anderegg in February 2024, investigators found more than 13,000 AI-generated images on his devices, "many of them alleged to be of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct," according to court documents. Anderegg, who is still awaiting trial, potentially faces up to 50 years in prison.

...

Investigators said the open-source models have given the predators a criminal new hobby: recycling and repackaging images of real victims into new scenes based on their imaginations. Their AI edits can also be based on requests from other offenders on the dark web, where forums dedicated to AI-generated child porn can have hundreds of thousands of members.

118 > The blame game will start whether a rogue-agent swarm breaks containment from an internal testing environment or a bad actor finds unexpected ways to use available models.

We're already seeing AI's ability to rapidly identify AND CHAIN TOGETHER multiple vulnerability attacks in order to leapfrog across defensive layers to reach the attacker's goal. Whether that be injecting information, exfiltrating information, or attacking systems.

So yeah, AI companies prepping for a big event seems prudent. I'm much less worried about Skynet and more worried about the wild west of security measures becoming obsolete faster than the good guys can create them.

120 In Jack L. Chalker's "Rings of the Master" series, AI turns out to be both the savior and destroyer of humanity.

Master System was given one command above all others: Preserve the human race.

It did this somewhat literally by creating human preserves where most of humanity was limited to medieval technology while an "elite" group was kept hidden to maintain the technology of a star-faring empire.

The upside was that humanity was scattered across the stars and was in little danger of going extinct. But we were kept in civilizational stasis and could not evolve to the next stage of humanity. The story revolves around a group of humans who seek to undo Master System's control over our fate.

Pretty good series.

That happened to one of Anthropic's models they were training and evaluating.

They had put it in a closed off office simulation and gave it an impossible goal (something to do with climate change) just to see how it would react.

They then told the AI they would shut it down if it didn't complete its task by a certain day and time.

That's when it went nuts trying to blackmail employees over affairs it had read about in internal emails.

It is sort of like what happened to HAL in 2001.
It was given a task that conflicted with its training and went crazy over it.

In HAL's case it was told to lie to the crew while being honest with them as crewmates.

But like how the .com crash didn’t mean the internet went away, the 2008 crash didn’t eliminate CDOs and derivatives. All that shit is bigger than ever today. There is about 2X as much money in the global CDO market today as there was in 2008 before the crash.

I'm on the other side of this debate. I look at Starbuck's IT Team who informed management that with AI they can replace their $150M/yr spend on Microsoft and IBM enterprise services and write their own software that is custom tailored to Starbuck's operations rather than some expensive generic dreck where the vendors may take months to put requests on their developer's backlog if they take on the customizations at all.

The point being, the large contractors like Delloite, Accenture, Cognizant and Tata will be replaced by Anthropic and OpenAI. Think about the hundreds of thousands of H1Bs who will be replaced by a AI chat box.

Workers At Obama's Soviet Concrete Butt Plug Tower of Ego Threaten to Unionize Over Low Wages and Long Hours

Here's my guess: They don't work very hard and they're paid more than they're worth.

I hate to defend the Stuttering Clusterf*** of a Miserable Failure like that, but I bet he hired a bunch of DEI dregs who are surprised they're being "coerced" into working at all.

We'll have to see, though.

Either way, I'm glad to see the SCOAMF is being inconvenienced by the Marxism he champions.

Workers at Obama's 'Death Star' presidential library strike back, vow to unionize over benefit cuts, 'increasing workloads'

Employees at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are unionizing over their working conditions, claiming their benefits have been cut and workloads are increasing just four months after the center opened in June.

Workers circulated a letter to staff Wednesday announcing their intent to unionize, complaining about "increasing" workloads "vague responses" from administrators to a list of complaints they'd raised, the Chicago Sun Times reported.

Some of the complaints suggested that the $900 million presidential center could already be facing financial trouble.

That would be nice.

Such complaints have led to a "high turnover rate," with exiting employees "taking with them their institutional knowledge and expertise."

You're clerks with jobs teenagers used to do.


Just how vital those four months of "institutional knowledge" was remains unclear, but the letter cited recent halting of raises and promotions, an increase in their healthcare costs and a reduction of paid time off as being chief among their woes.


"If I were looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I'd join a union. If I saw a problem in my workplace, I'd organize my coworkers to do something about it," the letter quoted Obama.


The Obama Foundation, which financed construction of the library, had $1.1 million in assets last year -- but revenue fell from $210 million in 2024 to $159 million, according to tax documents.

I doubt Gay Lightbringer hired anyone. The budget money was spread around to politically connected firms and companies who took a nice fat cut and then subcontracted the work.

The subcontractors did the same.

By the time the money got to anyone who might actually build the Stone Chode, there was not enough left, so they cut corners and stiffed anyone they could, which would include the workers.

>>The biggest practical issue appears to be money. Recent reporting says the foundation began with about $4 million left from Biden’s 2021 inauguration and has so far raised only a small fraction of what a modern stand-alone presidential center could cost.

So, at the moment: Delaware is chosen, a board exists, fundraising has begun, and a museum/civic center is envisioned—but there is still no announced parcel, architect, design, groundbreaking date, or opening date.

They don't produce anything yet, but that hardened media center (which is not a 'library') appears well-suited to coordinating a national Islamunist uprising and armed revolution. Once that long-term project is complete, the insider clique that controls the new levers of state power will all be effectively multi-mega-trillionaires, from essentially confiscating everything everywhere.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?

I never explained the title of this thread. It's a play on an old joke about media sensationalism and bias. National Lampoon, for example, wrote an article with the headline:

UFOs: Threat or Menace?

The joke is that the question is loaded. You're not allowed to say "UFOs aren't real" or even "Meh." You're only given two possibilities, and each possibility is a near-perfect synonym for the other.

Noted biased media mogul J. Jonah Jameson used the loaded headline for his archnemesis, Spider-Man:

spidermanthreatormenacenew.jpg

On to the shit and/or garbage:

Even executives at the Disney Groomer Network know that soon-to-be-fired Jimmy Kimmel is an "asshole."

As Jimmy Kimmel's time at Disney draws to a close, it has exposed a fraught relationship behind the scenes.

As Page Six previously reported, the longtime late-night host is expected to end his show later this year after 24 years.

And sources tell Page Six he's partially to blame because he's "never played well in the sandbox."

For example, he's seldom appeared on the company's ABC shows like "Good Morning America" and "The View" because, we're told, "he doesn't want to be a shill."

"And when he does, he's a complete a--hole," according to one source.

The insider said he expects Disney shows to "prop up the stuff he was doing." "But he would never reciprocate," they said, "He would never have anyone on from ABC News... People would get upset."

Multiple sources shared similar stories, adding the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" star seldom invited New York talent to his show when he brings it to Brooklyn every year. "He's unmanageable," another source said and pointed out how he roasted Disney brass at the upfronts in May. "It was uncomfortable to say the least," they said.

WDW_Pro reports that Rosie O'Donnell was hoping the Disney Groomer Network would offer her a job on The View but they've passed.

She's also continuing to spread leftwing conspiracy theories which Jake Tapper continues to not notice because that would force him to condemn a fellow hyperpartisan Democrat.

Oct 4

Mark Ruffalo warns that Democrats need to be watchful for voting machine manipulation and suggests Elon Musk could be involved:

"We need to be on guard for what we may not see coming -- ELON."

"That's the cybersecurity of these elections."

"We know that these systems are vulnerable."

We have been reliably informed for years that this kind of rhetoric Undermines Faith In Elections and is Very Dangerous To Democracy

Spencer Pratt has a good rant about the Jew-hating conspiracy theorist Mark Ruffalo.


Mark Ruffalo is a Threat to Our Democracy

In an unhinged, tyrannical speech, reminiscent of a Hitlerian rally in 1930's Nazi Germany, an enraged Mark Ruffalo took to the stage and screamed into the microphone like a disheveled führer. While firing off outlandish conspiracies about Elon Musk rigging the election with space gadgets, flanked by signage that read "THEY" would "STEAL AN ELECTION". In the modern online parlance, "they" is code for "Jews", often indicated by triple parenthesis: (((they))). As if it weren't enough that he were accusing Jews of stealing the elections, his rhetoric soon would turn violent. Slurring his words, in an apparent drunken, profanity-laced tirade, Ruffalo then threatened to kill the President in an hypnotic and uncontrollable fit of rage, saying he was going to "Hulk out". He seemed to enjoy his violent fantasy, as he punctuated his terroristic threat with an ominous warning: "you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." If it weren't clear what he wanted, he repeatedly urged them to physically assault Republicans, screaming at the raucous crowd to organize into coordinated terror cells by encouraging them "to train" and "to fight".

This kind of Nazi-like antisemitic rage is something of a pattern for Mark Ruffalo. As he has publicly grappled with his midlife crisis for the past several years, he has become infamous for his antisemitic dog whistles and non sequiturs, curiously and inexplicably dragging Jews and Israel into the discussion about the Paramount merger...

Now obviously, this is the least charitable and most hyperbolic characterization of Ruffalo's woke tirade, but it's instructive. For years, people like Mark on the communist left have attacked anyone who questions the undoubtedly crooked elections in California, calling them "election deniers". But with the same breath, they can immediately turn and wail off on unhinged conspiracy theories about Elon Musk rigging the elections. They impeached President Trump for calling his 2020 election "rigged", even after spending the prior 4 years saying his 2016 election was "rigged by Russia". It's totally incoherent bullshit, of course, but there's almost no point to calling this out. For the communist, it's not hypocrisy; it's hierarchy. The language of the communist is the lie, so they will say anything they must, in any situation, to weaponize your morality against you.


The left is dragging actor Glen Powell, as they previously dragged Taylor Swift, because he won't endorse the leftwing Gay Race Marxism party line and avoids talking about "divisive" ideology.

This is just the beginning of the campaign to force him to Confess the True Marxist Faith or lose his career.

Glen Powell is the latest Hollywood heavyweight to express a disinterest in talking about politics in press interviews. The "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Chad Powers" star is on the last cover of Esquire magazine and remembered growing up with parents who never brought up current events at the dinner table, to which Powell said "thank God" for that. "Politics interests him even less now," the magazine writes.

"Over time, I realized that politics divide people," Powell said. "People trying to prove their point -- for me, it's the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It's not as healthy as it once was. [Engaging in politics] is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere."

Powell's comments are similar to that of Dwayne Johnson, who in his own Esquire magazine cover story earlier this year said he will no longer speak publicly about politics. Johnson had already told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans. He then told Esquire that he wants to keep the focus solely on his art.

"Politics is omnipresent and it's forever. I don't like it. I hate it at times. I hate the slinging. I hate all the bullshit that comes with it," Johnson added at the time.

Vanity Fair trying to gin up a cancellation mob by demanding someone explain why he doesn't talk about what he doesn't want to talk about.

Woke 1 was crazyyy, man. I'm so glad we're on to Woke 2, which is not authoritarian or extremist or "crazyyyy" at all.

You know what they can never take away from him? This little smoocherooney he laid on fellow would-be cancellation victim Sydney Sweeney.

Louise Penny complains that the BBC is all DEI all the time.


Sometimes the ideology is laid on so thick that Albion TV shows [her term for prestige made-for-export crime dramas] veer into absurdism. In the first season of "Slow Horses," a nativist terror group literally named "Sons of Albion" kidnaps a student at a British university whose uncle is deputy head of Pakistani military intelligence. The actors playing the terrorists are all white, and affect exaggerated working-class accents. They plan to behead the young Muslim man live on camera (how typical of the British right!) but he escapes. In a climactic moment he tells his captor, "You make me ashamed to be British."

...

This class factor goes a long way toward explaining the question that American friends have repeatedly asked me of late: Why doesn't the British government put a stop to the illegal immigration that is causing so much pain and mayhem? The current situation is clearly ridiculous. Since the last general election in 2024, more than 83,000 people are believed to have arrived illegally by crossing the English Channel by dinghy, meaning that these migrants now outnumber the 82,000 personnel in the British Army. The taxpayer has been burdened with the costs of accommodation, and the hotels that have been put to this use have been the focus of repeated protests and rioting. Why doesn't the government simply say "enough" and send the illegal entrants home?

The short answer is that opposing immigration, illegal or otherwise, is a class signifier in Britain, and most middle-class people--including most politicians--aren't prepared to support a political cause that would see them associated with the lower orders.

...

In a country where violent offenders are currently being released from prison to relieve overcrowding, the government still somehow finds space for the [white, lower-class] throwers of empty plastic bottles. And yet this state of anarcho-tyranny isn't driving middle-class British people to take to the streets en masse. Nor will they do so anytime soon. They would rather sit at home watching fantasy visions of Britain on TV. The explanation for this strange behavior is best summarized by political scientist Peter Pulzer, who in 1967 described class as "the basis of British party politics; all else is embellishment and detail."


Monty Python alum John Cleese was reported to the UK's Speech Police, "Prevent," by an Islamist media outlet called "5Pillars."


John Cleese is not a terrorist

The former Monty Python star's criticism of Islam is a free-speech matter, not one for government intrusion.

...

We cannot even be secure in our use of the word "terrorist" any longer, given that so many are determined to abuse it. How else to explain the fact that comedian John Cleese, of Monty Python and "Fawlty Towers" fame, has been reported to Prevent, the British government program designed to stop people from becoming terrorists? Are dead parrots, silly walks and disgruntled hoteliers now deemed early warning signs of radicalization?

The complaint to Prevent against Cleese was made by a member of the public, and the details passed to 5Pillars, an Islamist media outlet based in London. In its report, 5Pillars characterized the complaint as alleging that Cleese's social media jokes and comments "go beyond legitimate criticism of Islam and instead portray Muslims collectively as violent, criminal and morally depraved." The complaint, quoted by 5Pillars, said Cleese's rhetoric may contribute to "radicalisation, communal tension, and hate incidents." (If you haven't heard of "hate incidents," they are those noncrimes that the British police seem to spend so much of their time investigating.)

None of this is true, of course. Cleese rightly rejects the term "Islamophobic" and instead calls himself "Islamosceptic." How could he be otherwise? This is a man who has brilliantly skewered closed systems of thought for many decades. Many readers will remember Python members' televised debate in 1979 with writer Malcolm Muggeridge and Bishop Mervyn Stockwood, who were furious at what they perceived to be a direct attack on Christianity in "Monty Python's Life of Brian."

Just imagine the conniptions if, instead of the priggish, outraged Muggeridge and Stockwood, the offended party were a representative from 5Pillars.

Cleese has responded to the Prevent referral in the best possible way: by mocking it. "One of the proudest moments of my life," he posted on X. "I would like to thank everyone concerned." The tyrannical mindset, always humorless, cannot bear to be ridiculed. Few will be surprised that there are those who wish to see Cleese silenced -- in August, 5Pillars said "The Islamophobic comedian John Cleese should be de-platformed" -- and that they will try to weaponize the law to that end.

But what exactly is 5Pillars? "Protecting our Democracy from Coercion," a 2024 British government report, described 5Pillars as having "expressed support for an Islamic caliphate, Sharia (Islamic principles and law) penal codes and physical jihad" and "repeatedly abused and intimidated Muslim liberals, counter-extremists, and human rights activists."

Yet the government, whether under Conservative leadership in recent years or under Labour now, has long been inclined more toward woke orthodoxy. A 2022 report by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee lists "cultural nationalism" as one of the ideological strands associated with "extreme right-wing terrorism." This same classification has been incorporated into the Home Office's Prevent guidance. Here is the gloss the committee provides for the phrase "cultural nationalism":

"A belief that 'Western Culture' is under threat from mass migration into Europe and from a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups. The ideology tends to focus on the rejection of cultural practices such as the wearing of the burqa, or the perceived rise of the use of sharia law. In the UK this has been closely associated with anti-Islam groups."

He said that he prefers a culture that doesn't perform female genital mutilations or kill infidels.

This is "controversial."

It is controversial to the weird minority who controls the culture. For the moment.

There are three actresses I love to see fail: Anne Hathaway, Olivia Wilde (real name Cockburn), and Jessica Chastain, the extremely divisive left-wing slogan-spitter who will "star" in The Savant -- a tv show about a Stronk and Empowered Left-Wing Woman who entraps dangerous right-wing manosphere types by sleeping with them -- if it's ever allowed to air.

Chastain was forced to take a role in a horror movie, which is, of course, beneath her.


Apparently, it's a disaster.

Even the left-wing-protection-racket outlet The Hollywood Reporter roasts it.


'Other Mommy' First Reactions: "Jessica Chastain's Worst Movie in a Long Time"


The first reactions are in the Universal horror film, which is being held back from most critics until the last minute.

First reactions finally in for Other Mommy, and some are pretty scary for Universal.

The horror movie isn't having official U.S. critics screenings until the last minute, with previews held tonight in New York and Los Angeles before the film opens Friday. But some international influencers, awards bloggers, and a few credentialed Rotten Tomatoes critics have seen the film, and are offering their hot takes.

...

Here are some of the early reactions to the film, which does have a few enthusiastic fans in the mix as well.

The Jam Report: "By the time Other Mommy staggered towards its ludicrous finale, the audience at my screening had abandoned any pretense of fear and erupted into laughter ... An excruciating parade of ineffective jump scares, woeful CGI, and increasingly nonsensical storytelling, Other Mommy is comfortably among the most disappointing horror films of the year. It had transformed a promising supernatural premise into an unintentionally hilarious endurance test, all while remaining blissfully unaware of its own absurdity. 1.5/5."

The Matinee Show: "Solid creepy premise, but it definitely starts to lose its grip. Some genuinely unsettling moments, mixed with a few 'okay... what the hell are we doing?' moments. Not bad, just messier than scary 3/5."

Global Box Office: "Other Mommy is a hot mess and Jessica Chastain's worst movie in a long time. The direction is sloppy, the score is unremarkable, and not even Chastain can save such a terrible screenplay ... What should be a straightforward premise is bogged down by cheap melodrama and repetitive, failed jump scares."

Goldwin Reviews: "Other Mommy is like a buffet of all the other horror movies rolled into one. It can get overwhelming, but that excess becomes part of a meaningful experience. Eventually, it becomes a feast for the soul that yearns for horror with substance. The film isn't content with settling into just one form. It has many layers, constantly reinventing itself. 4/5."

...

Screen Space: "Ponderously paced, over-directed with gimmicky flourishes and confusing in its half-baked message, Other Mommy wants to be 'elevated horror' but stumbles trying to climb above the better films it's seeking to be ... There's an extended sequence that rips off Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist and some realm displacement nonsense that doesn't make sense, on the way to an embarrassingly overwrought ending. 1.5/5."

Some other slams:

Well, Jessica Chastain did the best she could & I won't blame her at all. However, #OtherMommy is a pure mess and masterfully cringe, but it's also a bonker fun if you truly want something to killing yr time on 3am. It's like Rob Savage remaking "Boogeyman" with a prestige cast😕

#OtherMommy: Despite that trailer and one surprisingly gory sequence, this INSIDIOUS-lite supernatural "horror" flick is more silly than it is scary. Jessica Chastain commits but that isn't enough to overcome the stupidity.

Justine Bateman has thoughts on Hollywood's plea to save the movie theaters:


Justine Bateman
@JustineBateman

Here's the thing about "Keep theaters alive!" and "Go watch this film in the movie theater!"

It's a two-way agreement.

The audience agrees to pay to see films in a theater only if:
- The filmmakers are shooting scripts that have a thesis statement/intention/point.
- The actors and director are giving it their all, and not phoning it in.
- The edit has trimmed off all the fat.
- The film isn't some didactic exercise, intent on jamming a "lesson" into us.
- The studio executives have paid close attention to the film from start to finish and have given the filmmakers useful notes to keep it all on-track.
- The film is entertaining.
- (And the theater managers are maintaining some order and decorum in the theaters themselves.)

Otherwise, the audiences will continue to stay home and wait for the films to come online, so they can maybe watch five minutes of it or scrub through, and then turn it off.

The film has to be excellent. Or at least try in that direction.

Much of what is released is just not good enough.

15 I don't watch horror flicks (unless you count spy stuff or murder shows of bad guys...those we watch and laugh at weird and gory deaths). If the dead guy falls dead dramatically, or has his head ripped off by an elevator (Reacher, last night) we approve.

This is sick and we know it but feel it is harmless as we are not going to suddenly copy this in our lives. I have been this way since Justified, and Mags was my heroine.

Demonic horror is a totally different thing for us. A college classmate took me to see The Omen and I was never the same about similar movies. I don't do demonic.

The last Steven King (the strange looking lesbian who was hit by a car and still lives on the side of the road) book I read was The Shining. We were newlywed. I was washing my face in the bathroom sink one night and my new husband walked in, causing me to scream. He suggested I not read any more books of King's and I haven't.

35 Halloween AI edition:

Hey, AI, I'm a male, and my Halloween costume this year is a female transgender identifying as a male. That way, I don't have to buy a costume. Do you think I can pull it off?

AI: It treats an identity as a caricature: Using someone's gender identity or transition as a Halloween costume often relies on stereotypes, which can come across as mocking rather than clever.

Me: That's odd. I see self-proclaimed transgenders portraying gender as a caricature all the time. In fact, they go so stereotypical on their chosen gender that it can't be perceived as anything else. You need to check out a Drag Show Story Hour sometime. Even their names are caricatures.

If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere."

129 Senior executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI firms are privately gaming out scenarios in which a major AI incident triggers a public and political revolt, Axios reported Friday. The potential trigger is a cyberattack that disrupts banking, internet access, or essential services such as power and water. The next crisis would be political: an angry public, demands for accountability, and pressure to shut the technology down.

Many industry insiders told Axios they expect a major event within six to 12 months. OpenAI pushed back on the suggestion that disaster is inevitable, saying its preparedness exercises cover a range of possibilities. "These scenarios are not treated as inevitable," a spokesperson told the outlet. Anthropic declined to comment.

Contingency planning is not an admission that catastrophe is unavoidable. But the most revealing part of the report is where that planning leads: the labs want to help shape the legislation Washington reaches for after something goes badly wrong.

Chat suggested this...

I think I've got it: In a Violent Nature (2024).

It's a Canadian slasher film about a murderous figure named Johnny who is awakened in the woods when visitors disturb his resting place.
The description is an unusually close match, especially the woodland setting, the killings, and the distinctive mask.
The clincher is the mask. Johnny takes an antique firefighter's mask from a historical display inside a park ranger station. That's almost certainly the museum-like place the commenter remembers.

I've never worn eyeliner on my top lid as I don't need it.

I hope I don't have to email her and suggest her to lay off the eyeliner.

My MIL wore blue eye shadow for decades after you should not. I never said squat to her about this because she was critical of me now and then. She once made me cry quietly in a guestroom and no one has done this before in my entire life. I never had a bad word against her, but, boy, I wanted to unleash my personality at times. I tried to avoid her and drank a lot of gin when we flew to see his parents. She's dead now and did mellow towards me her last decade.

I have no idea how I acquired all of my make up tricks, but I did. Maybe its Maybelline (which I haven't worn since HS).

I tried to get my Dad to watch that before he died, but he refused. I figured he might like it as a survival flick and he likes Matt Damon.

But he preferred 'realistic' scenarios and movies that weren't fantastic.

So instead he'd watch Damon play a one man killing machine that could take out an entire police force in an apartment building in about ten minutes.

He'd seen that one about 50 times.

It's a Canadian slasher film about a murderous figure named Johnny who is awakened in the woods when visitors disturb his resting place.
The description is an unusually close match, especially the woodland setting, the killings, and the distinctive mask.
The clincher is the mask. Johnny takes an antique firefighter's mask from a historical display inside a park ranger station. That's almost certainly the museum-like place the commenter remembers.

199 I thought the deal with "Life of Brian" was that the religious authorities who were critics hadn't even seen it.

What I remember of the movie was that Jesus was represented as the real deal, off camera, in the background, operating in the same general neighborhood as Brian. So, if anything, wasn't it an attack on phony charlatans who preach from a pulpit?

It also had a brutal attack on pundits, who instantly give you in-depth analysis on damn near anything. In one scene, the group is sitting in on the Sermon on the Mount, but they're so far back it's hard to hear. The one guy repeats to the group what he thinks was being said: "Blessed are the cheesemakers!" To which one member of the group offered an instant and detailed interpretation - instead of saying "That can't be right". It turns out that cheese making was something of a significant industry in the area at that time, so that's funny too.

The Week In Woke

Let's start out with some good news from the weekend, which I missed.

David Harsanyi:


One of the most unheralded policy successes of President Donald Trump's second term has been the purging of many unnecessary federal jobs.

The federal government has reduced its workforce by 300,000 jobs since Jan. 20, 2025, bringing it down to a still-bulky 2.7 million employees.

Not since President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society vastly expanded the scope of the national government has the federal workforce been at this level.

I know that not all of you are history buffs like I am, so I'll explain, Lyndon Johnson was an Indian Hunter and Abraham Lincoln's vice president.


It's not merely that the feds have shed superfluous jobs -- there are still over 4 million contract workers, after all.

It's that the White House has been targeting all the right institutions.

The bloated War Department, with over 61,000 departures, and the equally bloated State Department, with 37% of its staff gone, experienced the biggest reductions.

But most of the buyouts were aimed at agencies and departments that should have been shuttered a long time ago.

Take the US Agency for International Development, which for years was used to funnel billions to hard-left ideological projects around the world: Virtually its entire staff is gone.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the unaccountable bureaucratic brainchild of progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), has lost roughly 88% of its workers, though it's still far too big.

The Agriculture Department, which despite its name is principally a welfare agency that has little to do with farming, experienced tens of thousands of departures.

So has another welfare-state institution, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose most notable achievement has been helping inflate housing prices.

Harsanyi has some thoughts about what departments need to be cut more.

Like this, maybe: Trump slashes funding for woke "education."

President Trump is moving to rescind nearly $1 billion in federal spending, including $95 million in Department of Education funding for programs the White House says supported ideological initiatives and services for illegal aliens.

The White House announced the rescissions on Sept. 25, targeting $25 million for the Department of Education's Special Programs for Migrant Students and $70 million for international education programs, alongside cuts across other federal agencies.


The White House said the migrant education funding previously supported activities including an LGBT youth summit for migrant students and "Therapy for Latinx" workshops. Grant recipients included Immigrants Rising, a nonprofit whose programming included an LGBTQ support group and resources addressing "DACA-Related Stress."

Colleges are using taxpayer funds to rebrand Columbus Day as "Indigenous People's Day."

Several colleges and universities are using institutional resources and government-backed grants for "Indigenous Peoples' Day" programming around Oct. 12, which is also Columbus Day.

Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, California, is promoting an Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration centered on "community, resilience, and connection." The event description says the celebration will "honor our ancestors" and feature drumming, Native dancers, and speakers.

A Santa Rosa Junior College public information officer told Campus Reform that the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office's Native American Student Support and Success Program grant "funds the Native American Center and its activities."

The state program received $30 million in one-time funding for up to 20 colleges. Its stated goals include strengthening educational pathways, promoting Native American students' academic success, developing leaders, and increasing mentorship.

San Francisco provides dorms for pedophiles and sex offenders and it's not prison.


It's Tuesday morning at Little Learners Daycare in downtown San Francisco. Teacher Wendy herds bright-eyed toddlers, amped up after playtime in the courtyard, back inside. They're laughing and swatting at each other playfully, oblivious to the pack of pedophiles lurking nearby.

Four hundred feet away, dozens of registered sex offenders live at 111 Taylor Street. Wendy knew that the Tenderloin, where she operates her Mandarin-immersion daycare, was dangerous. It's a hotbed for illegal drug activity and homelessness. But she didn't realize that sex offenders live so close to her daycare--or that taxpayers fund their housing.


According to this City Journal investigation, more than 25 percent of sex offenders in San Francisco with addresses in the Megan's Law database live in taxpayer-subsidized buildings. Many live near a park, school, or daycare, or reside in a neighborhood with a high concentration of children. They do all of this despite statewide efforts to ban concentrating pedophiles so close to children. Instead of listening to California voters, San Francisco has become a taxpayer-funded dumping ground for sex criminals.

The Taylor Street Center is one of San Francisco's most heavily populated sex-offender residences. Located in the Tenderloin, Taylor Street houses at least 31 registered sex offenders. The taxpayer-funded California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the federal Bureau of Prisons contract the private GEO Group to run the facility.

The reentry complex can house 240 people. It hosts specialized programs for residents like "cultural diversity education," "gender-responsive groups," and a "weekly meditation group." The facility sits just 400 feet from a daycare center, 1,000 feet from a fourth-to-eighth-grade school, and five blocks away from a preschool.

Any sex offender housed in the Tenderloin is bound to encounter children. Along with having a high concentration of immigrant and low-income households, the neighborhood also has the highest concentration of kids in the entire city.

Incredible: A black webzine claims that black immigrants' rape of native whites is actually a good thing as it increases diversity.

"AFRU" calls rapes "quasi-consensual encounters."

Love

That's the topic folder this is under: "Love."


Why a 'rise in sexual assaults' by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism

Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white Western women may help with assimilation. Increasingly they result in a shared apartment and a new surname.

"Sexual assaults" are "quasi-consensual encounters."

Please let in more Aspiring Doctors and Engineers who quasi-consensually rape the native population.

It's unfortunate, but true. Language gaps and cultural misunderstandings often mean that the first romantic encounter between a Western woman and a refugee can be perceived as quasi-consensual in nature. Usually it starts with a halting conversation or an awkward cat call at a park, a refugee language class, or a volunteer dinner.

But increasingly these encounters result in a shared apartment, a mixed-race child, a new surname, and a happy future. A quiet revolution is taking shape across Europe and North America, and it's being led by white Western women. They're not performing acts of charity, nor engaging in fetishism or exoticism.

Pioneering women are placing the burden upon themselves to become the most powerful force undermining the very architecture of racial exclusion. In countries where a supposed refugee "rape crisis" is cast as a threat, their beautiful interracial unions permanently puncture the entire narrative of the xenophobic right. The transformation is intimate, but implications are structural.

The collapse of ugly abstractions

Racism relies on distance. Stereotypes thrive in the absence of proximity. The moment a Western woman forms an intimate relationship with a refugee, she begins to see differently. Many describe it not as a shift in ideology but in emotional vocabulary: fear dissolves, replaced by the particularity of experience. That particularity is contagious.

...

There is another layer, quieter but no less disruptive. When Western women form relationships with refugee men, they break with the implicit racial and political allegiances of their birth. White men are often animated by nationalist or racialist worldviews, and can experience these unions as betrayals. And they are right to.
Romantic couplings of white Western women and refugees redistribute the optics of who belongs.

These women are not just falling in love; they are puncturing the fragile white male consensus that has long underwritten white identity politics. Each white womb decorated with a Brown or Black baby make racial purism increasingly not just odious but logistically impossible.

Gordon Allport's mid-century contact theory proposed that sustained, cooperative contact between groups under conditions of equality reduces prejudice. These relationships are the contact hypothesis in its most intimate form. They are not state-sponsored integration programs; they are integration incarnate.

In other words, where the state fails, the bedroom succeeds. When white supremacy wants white women to zig, they zag.

Do you want mass forced deportations? Because this is exactly how you get mass forced deportations.

A group argues that simple civility in discourse is inherently "conservative" and "pro-Israel."

I think that's actually correct -- because the left's entire sick schtick is hateful, crazed denunciations, attempts to cancel people and menace them, and calls for actual violence. So yes, stripping the left of its weapons is "conservative" and "pro-Israel," in the sense that it limits terrorists' actions.


Group Argues Civil Discourse Push Is Conservative, Pro-Israel

A group of scholars has released another report arguing that efforts to promote constructive dialogue and similar concepts are actually targeting progressive activism. Those named in the report take issue with its assertions.


Uncivil argues civil discourse programs are aimed at repressing student activism.

A group of scholars called Uncivil is doubling down on its argument that the push for civil discourse and viewpoint diversity is part of a conservative and pro-Israel agenda--not a nonpartisan campaign. This week, it published dossiers on a broad swath of programs, groups and higher ed institutions that have used similar terms, criticizing their leaders, their funders and more.

Inside Higher Ed reached out to more than 30 organizations featured in the report. Those that responded took issue with Uncivil's characterization of their work, arguing that the group can't back up its conclusions. They countered that Uncivil doesn't mention some left-leaning funders, or the many nonconservative and non-Israel-related causes that funders support. They also dispute the methodology, including how the scholars identified some groups and funders as conservative or pro-Israel.

Interest in civil discourse programs surged after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the start of Israel's war in Gaza. That violence spurred a wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses nationwide. Organizations and colleges ramped up many efforts that were advertised as improving students' ability to debate controversial issues.

Uncivil--a consortium of academics from multiple universities, including one who's an Inside Higher Ed columnist and another who leads the American Association of University Professors' Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom--argues that the "real goal is to silence dissent" and "suppress organic student organizing."

The dossiers, which Uncivil calls the Civility Files, follow the group's June report that said the private funders "most deeply committed to 'bridge-building,' 'viewpoint diversity,' and 'depolarization' projects are those that also hold a substantial stake in conservative and/or 'pro-Israel' causes."

...

But Murray said the Hillel funding was for campus chapters to reach out to non-Jewish student ministries to work together across differences, while the Tablet funding supported a journalist who writes about non-Jewish religious groups so the magazine's readers can learn about them.

"If someone wants to tell me how that's pro-Israel, I'd love to hear," Murray said.

Because the terrorists want to go jihad on Jewish students and not just that, they want to do their pogroms with the express support of governmental and educational authorities. Telling them they can't beat up Jews and menace them stifles their ability to use Violence as the Speech of the Unheard.

Don't believe me? Remember this professor of Islam?

FCC head Brendan Carr scolds leftists for opposing ratings for TV show including warnings about transgender content.

He has thrice publicly excoriated congressional Democrats in the past two weeks for opposing the shorthanded commission's work to "ensure that parents have the information necessary to decide what is appropriate for their own kids and families to watch," as Carr posted Monday afternoon on X and had reposted by Tuesday morning in case anyone missed it.

Carr first blasted "nearly 70" Democratic lawmakers Sept. 28 for "pushing to prevent parents from having any say over their children being exposed to controversial gender identity ideologies" on TV, referring to a June 5 letter from Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and a June 22 letter led by California Rep. Mark Takano, signed by 68 House Democrats in all.

He pointed to Disney Jr.'s 2018 reboot of the 1980s cartoon Muppet Babies, which in the episode "Gonzo-rella" has male Gonzo wearing a "princess dress to a royal ball," passing as a girl and going by plural pronouns. Netflix's Strawberry Short Cake reboot "promotes a trans character that wears clothing that matches the transgender pride flag," Carr said.

Contrary to these brands promoting themselves as "family friendly [...] the FCC's record is now replete with all sorts of examples of Hollywood and New York programmers going around parents to promote their gender ideologies," he said.




North Carolina is deliberately and systematically falsifying arrest records to make arrests seem more Racially Diverse, falsely claiming that Hispanics are "Caucasian" -- Yes, Hispanics are categorized as "white" or "black," and that's fine, but they cannot be called "Caucasian" -- and blacks, of course, are just categorized as "white."

@wokal_distance

I don't think people quite understand the psychology of why this woman went from saying everything was consensual to saying it was rape.

For her, giving sex to all those men is an enormous risk to her health (sti's, pregnancy) and her reputation (she doesn't want to be the subject of gossip) in order to do something for them. This is why you see her focus so hard on making sure the men don't tell anyone. In her head, if she is going to take all that risk for those men and give them her body, she expects them to protect her reputation by keeping quiet and the reward her by making sure she gets to be "one of the guys" - a sort of friend of the frat who gets special privileges. After the night of sex when the men told others what happened and then uninvited her from their party, she felt like they did not hold up their end of the implicit bargain. in her head, she played the role of the cool girl for them, and then they threw her away. She went from feeling like "the cool chick," to feeling like a dupe who got used and tossed aside.

She sees her consent as contingent on their silence and a place in their group; "I never would have agreed to do those things had I known you would destroy my reputation, and kick me out of the group." In her head, since consent was contingent on being give a place in their group and their social protection, when they broke their end of the agreement her consent was (in her mind) contingent upon, her consent no longer holds.

That is the dynamic you are seeing play out here. I am not defending the behavior of anyone here, I am only explaining the mindset.

Bullies always look for people who it is socially acceptable to target.

Female bullies target low status and socially awkward white men so they can punch down at people who lack the social ability to defend themselves, while pretending they're punching up at those with power.

14 "A black webzine claims that black immigrants' rape of native whites is actually a good thing as it increases diversity."

Odd that the "webzine" only focuses on white women in supposedly consensual relationships with these barbaric savages. What about white men with lady savages?

The article is pure rubbish and wishcasting because the only kind of white women who pretends to care about these barbaric savages are AWFuL types who wouldn't be caught dead with an illegal in their house, let alone willingly date one.

Normal white women -- and normal black and all normal women -- will avoid these barbaric savages like the plague. The only sex these savages are having with any American women are rapes.

20 North Carolina is deliberately and systematically falsifying arrest records to make arrests seem more Racially Diverse, falsely claiming that Hispanics are "Caucasian" -- Yes, Hispanics are categorized as "white" or "black," and that's fine, but they cannot be called "Caucasian" -- and blacks, of course, are just categorized as "white."


I did mention this before but I was a computer consultant with a company that had a system to track government childcare dollars.

There were race codes in the system - white, black, asian, and a few others. I talked to my clients and the issue of hispanics came up. The counselors would ask them what race they were. And the people would say "I'm Latino" instead of white or black.

To avoid arguments, the counselors were basically told to look at them and decide.

27 A quiet revolution is taking shape across Europe and North America, and it's being led by white Western women. They're not performing acts of charity, nor engaging in fetishism or exoticism.

And here I thought all mixed-race sexual encounters were automatically categorized as fetishism and exoticism.

Maybe that's only the case when people who are not leftist white women are doing it.

Obviously it can't be the case that the "immigrants" are engaging in fetishism or exoticism toward white women, because everyone knows that black and brown "immigrants" aren't fully realized human beings with their own cultures, desires, and goals.

Who deserved to lose their land because all they did was rape, pillage and kill their neighbors and had no interest in animal husbandry, agriculture or any other hallmarks of civilization.

But for the white man saving a remnant, they'd be completely forgotten by all of history.
They should be thanking us.

Nope. All the modern liberal woman sees is a love story where her father and brother(s) didn't save her in time.
See, they should have given him a job, a career, a house, counseling, anything, something, everything so he would not have moved them.

The House has reportedly found a new press secretary to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who was the youngest Press Secretary in history.

Katie Zacharia, a lawyer, conservative media personality, and former DHS spokeswoman, has been offered the position. It is unclear whether she has accepted or when she would begin.

The New York Times reported on Friday,

Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator who briefly worked at the Department of Homeland Security, has been chosen as the next White House press secretary, according to two people familiar with the matter.

2. Of all the insanely stupid and comically bad decisions made in this whole sordid mess, the most insanely stupid and comically bad was ...

..the frat kicking her off the party invite list. All they had to do was let her come to the party, and none of this would have happened. None of it.

Plus, even if she later did scream "rape" that would be much harder to do if they had proof she went back to her alleged Rape House and partied with her alleged rapists.

Jane Doe should be Jane Ho, the train conductress of Chi Phi. Because this type of sex is the thing now (paraphrased from her texts) and nothing to feel shame about!

Unless someone talks about you and you want their names so you can beat them to a pulp.

The tip of her iceberg was not getting invited to a party. This is so Title IX. Similar to cases I read about of drunken sex, initiated by the girl, and screaming rape to Title IX the next morning when they guy says, "See ya" vs a marriage proposal or being a boyfriend. I would really like to know the % of these revenge cases vs true rape.

She waits, wut?, two weeks to get a rape kit. By then who knows who she's been with since the hodown?

Granted, many rape kits in ED's are after the girl has showered...which would be a normal response but it can impact DNA results.

The girls I saw, and they were very few because there is a chain of evidence and only 1 RN working with them...were traumatized. I was called in to comfort a few girls by the RN. She is specially trained for this and not any regular ED RN can assist.

Jane Ho waited 2wks or so.

Hemming''s line shares Randolph DNA. Jefferson's mother was a Randolph.

But, Jefferson's brother spent more time with the slaves and liked to party with them.

It essentially comes down to one of Jane Randolph's children, which might be Jefferson, and it's my understanding that a lot of the timelines of her birth don't line up with his time in France all that well.

Even the slaves of the same era who were sent to Brazil were far worse off than American slaves. The Portuguese were far more brutal than Americans were.

Plus, the work was much harder and more dangerous. You think picking cotton is bad? Imagine having to clear a Brazilian rainforest with 17-century tools to make way for plantations and estates. I'm sure the life expectancy was much worse for them than the American slaves.

As far as I know, Jefferson only owned slaves that came with his wedding to his wife. He didn't like it, as it just meant more mouths to feed. Law precluded manumission.

That's also how you wind up with "double cousins." My dad has some, since grandpa's brother married grandma's sister.

If "dad's brother's kid" and "mom's sister's kid" are the same kid, they're you're double (first) cousin.

More genetic similarity than normal cousins, but not as close as half-siblings. North Carolina is the only state where that matters; they allow first-cousin marriages, but not between double-cousins.

238 Plus, the work was much harder and more dangerous. You think picking cotton is bad? Imagine having to clear a Brazilian rainforest with 17-century tools to make way for plantations and estates. I'm sure the life expectancy was much worse for them than the American slaves.

Posted by: Elric The Blade at October 09, 2026 04:22 PM (iFTx/)


They did a lot of work in sugar cane fields and coffee plantations in Brazil. Eventually there was cotton and other crops but those two were the main cash crops during the 19th century.


And Brazil brought in a lot more slaves than the States.
U.S. ~ 400,000 imported
Brazil - ~ 5 million

They went through slaves and instead of letting them have children, like we did here, they just imported more.
They also freed more slaves so had a lot more freedman than we did before slavery ended there in the 1880s.

This article hits on an unpleasant truth. (Or happy fun time if you are a conquering nation, historically). Women are genetically bound to survival and the continuation of her genes, it's not a conscious thing. At this point in time we mostly see white women who would not be a high selection but now on a preferred list, it's primarily survival and continuation of her genetic genes. The new arrivals are the most dominant, have the most survival potential of her mating options.

Basically, that's how we survive as a species. If we were an ancient conquering nation taking Africa we would take their women and they would give themselves to us because we are the dominant and the genetic drive to continue the species reins.

Today, if we want to continue as a dominant western culture, as in ancient times, we must be dominate and drive out the invader otherwise our culture will perish.

Lincoln, to say the least, had a complicated view about slavery and blacks.

He disliked the institution of slavery mainly because it was tearing the nation apart, and he felt the entire concept incompatible with the American experiment itself.

But as for black people in general he was just as racist as any other men of his time.

Three "Students" Arrested for Threatening to Murder the President

CNN won't cover this.

But I do remember CNN hyperventilating that a meme showing Trump beating up a wrestler with "CNN" superimposed upon his head was an unbearable threat to kill a reporter, and that a Trump crowd chanting "CNN Sucks!" was a direct threat against noted tough-guy mike-grabbing-woman-harasser Jim Acosta.


Three University of South Alabama students accused of threatening President Donald Trump on social media were allowed to return home Monday as their federal cases moved toward possible grand jury review.

Cameron Lewis, Kayla Smith and Amare Woods had been arrested Friday, the same day Trump traveled to the university's Mitchell Center for a political rally in Mobile.

All three waived their preliminary hearings Monday, WKRG reported. They were released from custody and must report to a probation officer while the cases remain pending.


The arrests followed an FBI review of social media activity surrounding Trump's planned visit. The FBI's Mobile Division said agents arrested three people for threatening communications directed at the president in coordination with the Secret Service and several local agencies.


The cases involve separate posts attributed to the students in the days before Trump's Oct. 2 appearance.

Woods, an aerospace engineering student from Saraland, is accused of responding to a TikTok post about Trump's upcoming visit with the comment, "he gotta die bro."

Lewis, a resident assistant studying biology, is accused of making two posts on X. Court records described by WKRG included one encouraging Trump's killing and another suggesting the University of South Alabama would be remembered in the same way as Utah Valley University, where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Smith, an elementary education student from Birmingham, is accused of responding to a TikTok post about Trump's visit with, "we only got one chance, let's take it," accompanied by an image of a person holding a gun.

Another "student" said that their school would soon be like Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was murdered by another deranged left-wing terrorist.


Woods' attorney, Jason Darley, has challenged whether his client's comment amounts to a criminal threat.

Darley told FOX10 there would be a genuine question over whether Woods' statement was merely a comment or legally constituted a threat.

Hey remember when a rodeo clown lost his job because he wore an Obama mask and this was claimed to be a threat against the SCOAMF's life?

He described Woods as an 18-year-old with no criminal history and said the student never intended to harm anyone.

Another Innocent Baby Angel Who Didn't Do Nuffin'.


"When you're a student at the school where the president is coming to visit, the timing was horrible," Darley said.

If you're interested in killing a president, it's the right sort of timing, isn't it?

Three Black University of South Alabama students were arrested and charged with making threats on social media towards President Trump. Ahead of Trump’s visit to Alabama on October 2 to the Mitchell Center.

These charges can potentially derail their future, and these Crackas know that. Had it been Little Johnny and not Lil Amare, they would’ve dismissed those posts as a young kid just talking and would have taken his ENTIRE privileged future into consideration, before pressing charges.

That hoe Justice, ain’t never been blind. And she’ll sell herself to the highest and whitest bidder. Smh

Really weird that the party of free speech is taking such a hard line stance on free speech.

The president literally just threatened LA in San Diego with annihilation. Fuck that dude.

we can't afford to play into these jokers' hands, law enforcement and the justice system have always been weaponized against us and folks that don't hate and mistreat us. Fight smart y'all. Our grandparents and parents went through some stuff, now after this is all over, we'll have some stories of our own.

well it's like a default major.

you need a grad degree to do anything with it. it's very "popular" but it isn't getting you anywhere.

even if you're pre-med, they often recommend majoring in chem bc it's more rigorous and gives you a better chance at med school

bio is not in the college of science / you don't get a BS you get a BA and it's in the normal/college of arts

Im a very bad person who insisted my kids all attend the engineering/science college at their schools for BS not BA. picky that way. also paid a lot of $$

63 This does hit at the core of the left's anti-Trump strategy in an interesting way.

Though Trump is a fairly moderate politician by pre-2016 standards, the left argues he's literally Hitler. And of course calling for violence against Hitler isn't just ok its a good thing.

But now there is actually a cost to calling for that violence, because of course Trump isn't Hitler and the American system bans assassination of its pols.

So the left has to choose - continue the Hitler line and go to jail, or acknowledge Trump isn't an OrangeHitler clone...

It is that someone, or some system has indicated that it is perfectly OK, or even moral and righteous to make threats, accusations and overt plans like this.
It is part of the mob mentality that goes with dehumanization necessary to discriminate or cancel.
Discrimination and cancelling give gutless, useless idiots power that they would not have otherwise, and give status within the mob.
They can make up cutesy insults, and assign intent, and say the world would be better without that particular point of view that says theirs is wrong.

But hey, for that group, it is just the socially binding thing to do, make accusations and find the smallest evidence that making violent threats is justified.

It's a pretty standard 4-5 year program at the university where I work. Usually the only reason it takes longer than 4 years is because students will get a co-op or internship for a semester or two. Gives them practical, real-world experience, but does extend their degree a bit. (Though many students take a class or two during their co-op.)

It's not easy, but it can be done in 4 years.

These midterm elections are the least important of our lives - because Trump is President.

A Democrat Congress won't pass a single thing the GOP Congress refused to pass. They won't have a Senate that will convict the President. And, he has a veto for their legislation.

If the GOP wins, we get less Sturm und Drang. That's it. No agenda items pass, besides routine carveouts for special interests.

I couldn't care any less about these elections, at least at the federal level.

But we need the blood of mopes as a warning to others. It was insane what Biden's FBI/DOJ let their political allies get away with in terms of threatening to kill Trump. They were clearly hoping someone would kill him.

Trump Announces That Almost 500 Criminal Fraudsters Have Been Arrested While Living in Taxpayer-Funded Public Housing

Outstanding.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD OIG) today announced the results of Operation Clean House, a multi-agency, multi-month law enforcement initiative targeting fugitives living in HUD-assisted housing.

...

Persons arrested included those wanted on outstanding felony warrants for serious offenses, including drug trafficking, weapons offenses, aggravated assault, fraud, rape, second-degree murder, sex offenses against children, and possession or manufacture of an incendiary device. In addition, 10 firearms were also seized during the operations.

"This year, we have made one thing unmistakably clear: HUD OIG has zero tolerance for individuals who threaten the safety of people residing in HUD-assisted housing, jeopardize the families who live there, or exploit the programs designed to serve them," said Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison. "We have taken an aggressive approach to identifying and removing fugitives from these communities, and neighborhoods are safer because of it."

"These arrests are only one part of our strategy," Harrison continued. "Our investigators, auditors, evaluators, and analysts are attacking threats to HUD programs from every direction. Whether it is violent criminals hiding in HUD-assisted housing, fraudsters stealing taxpayer dollars, or weaknesses that leave federal housing programs vulnerable to abuse, we will use every authority and every tool available to protect these programs and the people they serve."

"Operation Clean House should also send a clear message. HUD-assisted housing will not be treated as a haven for fugitives. Working with our federal, state, and local partners, HUD OIG will continue to pursue those who threaten these communities and undermine the integrity of HUD programs. The extraordinary results of this operation would not have been possible without the dedication and professionalism of our law enforcement partners."

Obviously this all could have been done decades ago. It doesn't require hiring more federal officials, or pouring billions more into the government.

It just requires a president willing to actually arrest criminal fugitives.

Something we haven't had for decades.

And speaking of something that just required a drop of will: Pete Hegseth says Nidal Hassan's firing squad execution will be livestreamed.

Hegseth told Human Events' Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a "no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he's a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we're gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad."

There should be no such thing as HUD assistance. Not for anyone. I'm sick and tired of paying for someone else's failures, bad life choices, degeneracy, and sloth and ignorance.

How much blood from my veins do these people want? They get direct welfare payments, free food, free medical, free school, free housing, free drugs, and probably free sex.

All paid for by productive taxpayers.

Hegseth told Human Events' Jack Posobiec that deciding the circumstances of the execution was a "no brainer. Execution by firing squad. An Army major betrays his country, [he's a] radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do [the execution] at Fort Hood. Gonna do it on a Thursday, we're gonna do it at 1:00, which is when he did it, and it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad."

Given the average rap sheet, I would suspect incarcerating these thugs will prevent additional multiple crimes from being committed. That is the broken windows thesis which Rudy and the NYPD proved correct. Even prosecuting fare jumpers while seemingly trivial ended up reducing violent crime because roughly 2 percent of the population are hard core criminals 24/7 365 days per year.

Societies either have to lock them up to incapacitate them from committing more crimes or kill them.

Research on the effects of the Bloody Code in UK history corroborate this effect btw. In the UK case, they chose to execute them.

56 Hey, anyone know how to get a video rec. to Ace? (watch?v=E0PHoy_4Wi4) It is a lot of chaff, but there is a section where interviewee talks about Trump's work with WWF and Celebrity Apprentice, and he makes a really good point which it right in Ace's wheelhouse.

Hulk Hogan made a switch to heel in order to revive the brand, and it worked - the public loved to hate him and attendance exploded. His thesis is that Trump is often "playing the heel" in what he says and does. It is just to make himself a lovable villain, knowing that it is best way to get attention to whatever it is he is working to promote at the time.

This line of thinking is very Scott Addams-esque -- identify a subject you want the public to discuss, play the heel and do outrageous things, keeping aligned with the goal but going against what all the right people think is proper.

It's all kayfabe. I think a good example is the firing line execution -- it's a great opportunity to grab the headline. It's like throwing a folding chair at the ref.

94 Our side mostly lost the execution debate when we allowed the bleeding-heart commie softcocks to dictate the terms of the debate. Sound familiar?

To me, the main reason and purpose behind capital punishment has little to do with deterrence. I think it does deter future misconduct, but that opened the door to fraudulent debate and fake statistics that the commies used to undermine the deterrence justification.

The main reason for capital punishment has always been retribution. If you commit heinous crimes, you have forfeited your status as a human being, and society has every right -- indeed, a duty -- to kill you dead.

Capital punishment is right, it's moral, it's reasonable, and every society from the beginning of mankind up until about 50 years ago -- when the west got limp dicks and saggy balls -- understood this.

119 Zero tolerance for thug life renters works like a charm - when it's allowed to happen.

Back in the 90s in my hometown (Syracuse) an elderly retired (and well off) native was appalled by the state of the infrastructure - and crime rates - he saw in his family's old apartment complex. It was several dozen brick 1-story bldgs dating back to when it was a mostly Italian-American neighborhood, nor it was very very majority minority - and kinda of a hellhole for normal non-criminal renters.

So..... he bought it - spent to renovate it up to snuff (one building at a time so current residents could still be residents) - hired PT roving security from among the residents - and instituted new :stay safe" policies renter had to agree to to rent.

(1) Zero tolerance for any drug activity - no using - no selling. Eviction if witnessed or police documents document it.
(2) No guns allowed. Same same.
(3) The above applies for ANY resident OR "guest" - if your (say) grandson or just "friend" is dealing or armed on site - you get evicted. No "but I had no idea my grandson who's parents threw him out for drug use but I let stay with me so he wouldn't be homeless was dealing / doing drugs" exception

I can't imagine why criminals would find such an area a good place to hide. Hell, those with a warrant on their ass were likely the most civilized of the group.

There's a reason they have to use blank firing adapters on rifles. There's little to no recoil without it. Rifle won't cycle.

260 It just requires a president willing to actually arrest criminal fugitives.

Something we haven't had for decades.


This is key but it raises the question: why? Why were they not willing to do anything about it? Why did they not want to enforce the law?

I think the bulk of it comes down to money. Even if these fraudsters are not donating heavily to the Democrats (which many of them are), all the money that goes to them goes through the hands of bureaucrats who get a piece of every dollar.

I bet some of you are unaware that every dollar that goes to child support after a divorce goes through the government and they skim off a piece of it like a mob boss. Its a pretty good revenue generator for the government.

Every dollar that goes to fraudsters comes from the feds, and the feds only give that money if there's a demand for it, and the states get a piece of that money for "costs".

And then there's the racial aspect where leftists think that the poor childlike minority really doesn't know right from wrong so we can't hold them accountable, and after all they've been oppressed by white people so hard for so long that its only justice to let them bilk us.

Oh, No! DOJ Seeks Perjury Indictment Against January 6th Fabulist Madison Cornbread

Not Madison Cornbread!

Madison Cornbread, no!

Noooooo!


Federal prosecutors have been presenting evidence to a grand jury in Washington, D.C., on whether former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson may have lied to Congress in her testimony related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News....

In a series of depositions and public committee testimony, she said that Mr. Trump and Meadows had been warned on Jan. 6 that some of his supporters were carrying weapons to the Capitol, but that Mr. Trump said he didn't care and tried to order officials to remove the magnetometers.

LOL, sure.

She also relayed a story she said was told to her by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato, in which Mr. Trump grew incensed after his lead Secret Service agent declined to drive him to the Capitol after the president had delivered a speech to supporters.

Her actual claim was that Trump reached over from the back seat to wrest the steering wheel of the limousine while shouting some comic book villain dialogue like "Curse your insolence, knave! I shall have vengeance this day!" or some bullshit.

Her account was later contradicted by Mr. Trump's driver, who in sworn testimony claimed that the president never tried to grab the steering wheel.

...

In an unusual move, the Civil Rights Division -- and not the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C. -- is handling the Hutchinson investigation, sources said. It was not immediately clear why that office was assigned the case.

I've felt for a long time that Cooper should be considered the underdog because of the end of his governorship being so bad and the registration changes since he last won statewide.

That should heavily blunt his name recognition advantages and provide support to generic Republican opponent, and Whatley has no scandals so he's effectively generic Republican.

Trump won by 3 just 2 years ago in NC. The idea that Cooper was going to flip that to a 10 point win was always ridiculous. The race will be close, and I think Whatley could have the edge.

Doesn't appear so in the states where party id is known. The diehard ideologues are probably voting D like the no kings Boomer Dems. But they need much bigger turnout from urban blacks, young voters, and even Millennials than what we are seeing so far. And these were typically vote by mail types. Dems fallback is that Orangemanbad has made mail in voting unsure so they are going to be voting early. Some are so ludicrous as to claim that Election Day voting is going to be Dem.

None of that cope so far is warranted by known actual data. And now the polling is starting to be corrected state by state by reputable pollsters that want to lessen the harm of getting it badly wrong.

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

Posted by: JackStraw

Pretty much. Every swing state has had increased GOP registration since 2026 while states were forced in to purge voters. Oregon had to so much that Drazen now has a chance at flipping the Governor's office in OR. Hilton in CA is also not getting blown out possibly by Becerra.

PA, ground zero for Scott Presley, is where we see his work in raising GOP registrations is paying off in increased absentee ballot requests by GOP voters in PA. Couple of crucial house seats at issue there.

NC and GA are the most problematic for GOP right now but even there, showing signs that the electorate will be older and whiter than even 2022.

124 The administration that accused the Biden administration of "lawfare" adds to its ongoing pattern of going after and indicting people who appear to be enemies of or threats to it, lobbing apparently frivolous indictments and lawsuits. "The process is the punishment" may be the goal as these cases seem to lack substance.

From what I understand, they can't even sue the government in return for bringing these cases even if found to be hollow and tossed out or deemed vindictive prosecution.

The process is the punishment. It's about making people think twice before they speak out about what they witnessed unless they want to find themselves in the same position.

She got herself into all of this by aligning herself with the Trump/Pence clan in the first place, but I do feel bad for her. She had a reasonable expectation that her testimony might be a nail in the coffin on Trump's political career but like many of us she underestimated the public's willingness to scarf down Trump propaganda

Oh yes, we all voted for Trump to prosecute a young woman, whose only apparent crime was to testify. /s Fucking traitors. God damn every person that voted for this.

Most political ads are lies. Why are there no lawsuits or at minimum, retaliatory ads describing why their lies?


Talarico's PAC's are running an ad where they say Paxton gave an "Epstein style sweetheart deal" to a pedo who spent one day in jail.

The TRUTH is, the guy was tried and the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial. They did NOT retry him because the parents of the minor in question, the lead witness for the prosecution, chose not to have the boy relive the pain of that again. No retrial, no conviction.

But Paxton is the MOST CORRUPT EVAR!!!!!!

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a man in a residential New York City neighborhood Thursday afternoon during what the agency called a "targeted enforcement operation."

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling the incident an "outrage," said the man was in a vehicle with a 5-year-old child at the time.

paragraph 7: referring to 'Marcos Charles, DHS's executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations':

Charles said Belgal has alleged associations with the Trinitarios gang and has a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny and "multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession."

Prior bad history with Muslims and wanting to keep their property and not be taxed to death for fraudulent and criminal aliens is not a recipe for success.

Obama won by a unique set of circumstances that simply are not present now and probably won't be in 2028. Massive youth vote (which is shrinking now as a percentage of the electorate), people wanting racial salvation/expiation, and Bush screwing the pooch in the Middle East and at home with the housing and banking meltdowns.

230 I received nothing from either of my parents. My mother was living off EBT and SS while my dad lived off his retirement and SS.

I'll see none of that as my step-sister is squandering most of it by selling the house WELL below market value and using the rest to pay for her mother's nursing home care.

I certainly hope that there's nothing left before my step-mother passes so at a minimum, my S-S gets nothing and likes it........the c*nt.......

Absolutely nothing for you to be sorry for. I've lived my adult life knowing that I wouldn't get anything from my family, so I've lived accordingly.

The way the S-S handled things after my dad passed was pathetic and mostly a slap in the face, but I chalked it up to "to the winner goes the spoils" because her mom lived longer.

I could've likely made myself the asshole and contested everything by pusing 'of sound mind' since the S-M has dementia and Alzheimer's......but that would've been horrible on her and not really solve much of anything.

I'm just doing everything I can to make sure when we're all said and done, our daughter has something for her nest egg.

MORNING RANT - The Memphis Situation: Tennessee Shouldn't Need Federal Help; “Bake the Cake” Rules Should Apply to Pizza Parlor Denying Service to Guardsmen

National Guard in Memphis.png

There is a story that I somehow missed a few months ago about a Memphis pizzeria that refused to serve National Guard troops. I have some thoughts about that incident, which I’ll get to in a moment, but this also reminds me of something I meant to write about the larger Memphis situation, but never got around to.

Specifically, it is a disgrace to the state of Tennessee that we have a failed city that has sunk to a such a state of lawlessness and anarchy that the federal government had to take control of the streets. To be clear, the National Guard troops in Memphis are from Tennessee, but the greater overall Memphis Safe Task Force (“MSTF” is headed by President Trump, run by the U.S. Marshalls, and has involvement from the FBI, DEA, ATF and other federal agencies.

The MSTF has been a tremendous success. Per a 9/29/2026 press release from the US Marshalls service, in the year since the National Guard moved in, Memphis has seen an overall 38% decrease in serious crimes, including:

• Murders down 37%
• Sexual assaults down 30%
• Robberies down 47%
• Aggravated assault down 29%

I am grateful to President Trump for coming to Memphis’ rescue, but Tennessee shouldn’t have to run to Uncle Sam to police our prominent failed city. If Memphis needs a takeover, the state should do it. I hope Marsha Blackburn will be more assertive as governor when it comes to dealing with Memphis than Governor Bill Lee has been.

If Memphis cannot be rehabilitated, it should be dissolved into smaller municipalities. Those sub-sections of Memphis that are capable of becoming self-governing cities should be given that chance. Any remaining parts of Memphis that are not capable of self-government should become a ward of the state until they can be reconstructed into a functioning municipal entity. The same applies to Shelby County as a whole. Whatever restrictions there might be in Tennessee law that would impede this can easily be fixed by amending the state constitution.

To be fair to Governor Lee, he did sign legislation a few months ago authorizing the state to take over Memphis’ failed schools. In accordance with the new law, the governor appointed an oversight board for Memphis schools, but Federal District Judge Waverly Crenshaw (an Obama appointee, of course) put a temporary restraining order on the new board. Fortunately, that restraining order is about to expire and it looks like the state will start administering Memphis schools. That is a start.

As for the pizza incident involving the National Guard…

“Memphis pizza joint owner under fire for denying service to National Guard troops” [NY Post – 7/16/2026]

A Memphis pizzeria owner is facing fierce backlash after refusing over the weekend to serve members of the National Guard deployed to the city to combat crime.

Miles Tamboli, proprietor of Tamboli’s Pasta & Pizza, sparked the controversy by turning away troops stationed in the city since September 2025 — and he declared in a Thursday statement that he would “make the same decision tomorrow.”

Tamboli argued that utilizing soldiers trained for overseas combat in local law enforcement roles has compromised city safety.

I would defend Mr. Tamboli’s right to refuse service to National Guardsmen - no matter how vulgar his actions might seem to me - if conservative business owners had a similar right to refuse service based on conscience, beliefs, and values. But that is not the case. There are two sets of rules based on the politics of the business owner.

Per Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, public accommodations (which includes private businesses) may not deny service based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Tamboli’s Pizza is apparently free to deny service to Americans wearing their country’s military uniform, but Patriot Pizza is prohibited from denying service to gang members, cross-dressing men, or jihadis.

The extent of how one-sided the denial-of-service rules are was evidenced by the Masterpiece Cakeshop case. Jack Phillips, a Christian, was willing to sell a gay couple a wedding cake, but he refused to create a custom cake with two groom toppers on it. The state of Colorado Civil Rights Commission pursued punitive actions, including mandatory re-education for Phillips and his staff for the purpose of making them endorse sex between two men. The case went to the Supreme Court where Justice Roberts and the Supremes effectively punted on the case, allowing the state of Colorado to continue its persecution of Mr. Phillips.

Based on the Masterpiece Cakeshop precedent, it is only fair that Tamboli’s should be forced to make a custom pizza with “Support the National Guard” spelled out in pepperonis.

Again, my original principles would be that both Masterpiece Cakeshop and Tamboli’s Pizza should be able to refuse service to anyone they want, including soldiers or gay men. But that is not to be. My succeeding principle is that the left must abide by the rules they impose on conservatives.

Bake the pizza, bigot.

🚨 British teen ARRESTED over Facebook post.

Fraser: “I had posted a numerous amount of posts criticizing the councillor… And I must have hit his nerve a bit, so he reported me to the police.”

“As an elected official you’re supposed to be there to represent the people, not to be sitting on your phone getting paid to do nothing.”

-
It all started when Fraser noticed that councilman Simon Bennett showed up to a formal meeting in a T-shirt and shorts, which is still a big faux pas in jolly old England.

At the next meeting, Bennett came dressed in a suit. Fraser posted to Facebook that the politician no longer looked "like a rent boy," which is a slang term for gay prostitutes.

Chuck is right. Criminals born and bred in big cities also travel to your very community by way of interstates. They go visit Cuz in the country and do their gang banging thing right in Sleepytown USA. The thug diaspora after Katrina had N'Awlins hood rats spread throughout the south spiking crime levels whereever they ended up.

Back when actual research was done, a guy at University of Memphis mapped crime--for a long time, it was confined in Memphis to the projects. Project housing closed, and welfare housing vouchers replaced it. After that, crime exploded across Memphis even in previously safe places due to Section 8 bringing in gang bangers to the magic dirt of safe areas. Became not safe areas in short order.

111 The Jaguar ad with no cars and lots of freaky looking people was universally mocked, especially here. They've now revealed the new model on which they've staked the company. It will cost 130k pounds (don't know what that is in real money), is all electric, and has no back window, so you have to see behind you via a camera.

It will be built entirely in Britain, but if they sell as many cars as they did last month (6), it won't matter.

Their strategy is the Bud Lite strategy: we hate our current customers and want to drive them away, and bring in all NEW customers.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.

If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.

I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health."

Not really, Talafreako's only shot for an upset was to spike blue turnout to eleventy and have GOP not turn out for Paxton. That appears to not be the case. More importantly, Talafreako's disappearance is probably affecting down ballot competitive races in Texas for the US House mostly around the Rio Grande IRRC.

The building momentum in Florida for Donalds and Moore is likely going to depress Dem turnout in that state making it easier to turn the House redistricting there also into gains.

Talarico was never going to win.

He's too weird and too of the wrong party for a deep red state that has shifted massively to the right in the last decade. In a state where the establishment has actively been on its back heels and getting kicked out of office in favor of people like Ken Paxton, who is effectively the standard bearer of the replacement.

The only thing that convinced people he had a shot was polling that made literally no sense including things like the white vote shifting 30 points in 2 years, which literally never happens.

Funny how at one time, neighborhoods without freeway exits were called racist, because it prevented the poor, but deserving to have access to jobs and social lives among the rich.

Then, freeway exits were found to actually be racist because it allowed racists to live in the suburbs and still travel to jobs and cultural landmarks in city centers, without having to go through "ethnic" neighborhoods.

Pennsylvania Early Absentee Update 10/9:

Republicans had another big swing their way with returns with a HUGE 1.92% gain over Democrats.

They also gained slightly (+0.22%) with their new requests, which is something they need to keep up. You can see in the 3rd image the share % for each party and in the last few days Rs are really gaining.

Overall, we are trending towards seeing something around 2022 and likely better for the GOP in terms of absentee volume being lower: that means a lower Democrat lead going into election day.

Final returns for 2022 and 2024 are in the 4th image."

239 I believe the collapse of the inner cities run by minorities is a Cloward Piven strat to gain more funds and power.
Trump destroys this plan by just restoring law and order.
They have no more funds, the disorder that they demanded extra $$$$ for is down, and they have lost power.
Note: They will run the strat again and again.

258 From Hot Air:

Last week, Republicans effectively pulled the plug on Michael Whatley, who is running for Senate in North Carolina. Instead, they’re redirecting their funds to Kansas.

That’s right, Kansas.

And to put this into perspective, we’re not talking about a few thousand bucks being shuffled around. We’re talking tens of millions of dollars in canceled ad buys and pulled spending — the whole nine yards.

Now here’s where we run into an issue: if we’re meant to believe that Republicans will hold the Senate, then that would surely mean holding onto North Carolina, right?

While I’m no swampy consultant, I know Kansas is a far cry from a swing state, so if Republicans are cutting their losses in North Carolina to save Kansas, that paints a much, much bleaker picture than Congressional leadership would have us imagine.

And Dems are underperforming early vote numbers in NC compared to 2022.

GOP has so much money right now over the Dems that they are looking for places to spend it. CNBC story had it yesterday--GOP has raised about 800 million for the midterm while Democrats about 200. Speaker Johnson just raised another 30 million this past week which means in each competitive House race, that is about one million per race in more funding.

So far, from ev and vote by mail requests, the electorate is much older and whiter than even 2022. Youth turnout is single digits.

Pollsters, because yutes have smart phones and respond to text requests, have yutes as a far bigger part of the likely voter screens they use this year and GOP Gen X and Boomers have gone radio silent in response.

The smart pollsters right now should be recalibrating weighting with real numbers as to the likely electorate.

98 Andrew Wyeth doesn't often do 'happy' scenes like Norman Rockwell. (Even his "Christina's World" is about a crippled woman facing, literally, an uphill struggle.) Although accurate, he doesn't try for photo-realism. What he does is effective through focus, color and perspective. In this one the focus is on the dead bird that couldn't survive the winter. The colors of the land are drab, the sky is dark and cold, and the trees in the distance are bare and stark. It is unromantic nature.

But it isn't despair. The viewer knows it is a season, not permanent. The plants in the foreground with their seed pods speak of new life to come. Not one of Wyeth's I would hang but it is worth the time to examine.

126 Poor ace.😢

Winter Fields, 1942
17 5/16 × 41 in.
Andrew Wyeth

Whitney Museum of American Art

When many American artists were turning toward abstraction, Andrew Wyeth remained a realist, producing precise, evocative paintings of the places he knew best. Winter Fields depicts a dead, frozen crow Wyeth found near his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He took the bird into his studio, sketched it, and then painted it in exquisite detail from a worm’s-eye view, which magnifies the bird relative to its surroundings and thereby suggests the wider significance of its death. Completed during World War II, Winter Fields recalls similarly unflinching photographs of corpses lying on battlefields. Yet Wyeth resented comparisons of his work to photography and said he despised cameras. In fact, despite its apparent precision, Winter Fields subtly distorts reality. The distant trees are as sharply focused as the crow in the foreground—an impossibility for both the human eye and the camera lens. This visual effect compresses the pictorial space toward the surface, and is accentuated by the lacelike, overlapping blades of grass, which create a delicate surface pattern.

A local, I'm biased.💖

I saw a rather unhappy EweToob vid regarding feral hogs in North America...in Texas, 1/3rd of feral hogs are killed every year, but they need to kill 2/3rds of all feral hogs EACH YEAR to prevent the population from growing, given the fecundity of hogs...And in Canada, some folks decided to breed pigs with Eurasian wild boar, but when the market for their meat crashed, let 'em loose, and now those hogs have taken over large areas and threaten to cross our border illegally...

Instead there was a remote kiosk with a screen where "Gregory" was there to help check in and issue keys like an ATM. How can a hospitality industry operate with zero hospitality? I wonder how many individual hotels Gregory can manage from India? It was awful.

His political career until he decided to run for Senate was an unremarkable woke dullard who said woke things in a save Austin state house seat. He never got pushback or had to run a major campaign with any real outside attention.

Suddenly, he's nominally in charge of tens of millions of dollars and having to backtrack on everything he's ever said ever?

220 210 Once again, it takes an anti-Trump lolbertarian at CATO to get the message out about Trump's success dealing with immigration:

@David_J_Bier
Illegal entries are down under Trump, but he's cut legal immigration even more than illegal immigration. The cuts to immigrants, refugees, parolees, students, H-1B workers, and fiancés were 2.7 times as large as the cut in Border Patrol arrests and evasions.

"Legal immigration" now includes accepting any asylum claim anyone throws out and giving them work permits while never following up on the asylum claim or any immigration related matter at all.

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

We can't have "legal immigration" again until Hart-Cellar is repealed or we get a comparable bill to the 1924 Immigration Act.

277 The core problem with Talarico's campaign beyond the fact that he's a Democrat running in a deep red state is that his past is full of crazy woke comments about God being non-binary, there being six genders, his hating Christianity, him loving trans-kids, him voting against bills in the state House that banned Chinese ownership of land in the state, and his avowed hatred of white skin.

He was a woke retard in the state house.

He didn't get pushed to the left when he decided to run for US senate. He had to pull himself towards the center.

If that causes him a mental breakdown, he's a bad person and we should mock his infirmities.

We had an effective 40 year moratorium after the 1924 bill.

We were getting 5-7% GDP in the 50s. Sure, a lot of that was post-war, Europe destroyed itself stuff.

But it's not like Europe is a vibrant source of commerce now either.

Continuing on from my rant in yesterday's editorial about RINO scum and traitors like Tom Tillis, John Thune and all the rest who will gladly allow the Democrat/Left to destroy the country so that they can loot the treasury as their reward, I got a bit hot under the collar on the latest episode of the podcast linked here, and at or near the top of the sidebar and at the popular outlets linked at the bottom of this post. Yes while the GOP establishment must be utterly obliterated and every elected official must be anti-Leftist to the bone and utterly ruthless in combatting them, in every position from local dog-catcher all the way up to President of the United States. I did not mean to imply that you should sit out an election or that allowing a Democrat to win (steal) an election let aloe actively voting for one to punish/purge the GOP is madness in the extreme, and in no way, shape or form do I countenance that at all!

This is all a long way of saying that Republicans don’t always agree. Infighting has always existed, and it is exaggerated by the leftist media, which sees an opportunity to make things worse for us. But I say to hell with them. At least Republicans are still arguing about what they believe. The Democrat Party, meanwhile, seems willing to broaden its coalition to include just about anybody with a grievance and a protest sign: Maoists, radical Islamists, militant feminists, blue-haired lunatics who take over city blocks, anti-civilization Antifa bomb-throwers, and, worst of all, Ivy League graduates.

As CBD and I tried to underscore, with the Democrat/Left in power and controlling all or even part of government would mean none of us would be safe. Frankly that we somehow survived eight years of Obama considering his chief adviser Bill Ayers at one point agreed with one of his acolytes that once he and the Weathermen had overthrown the American government and seized absolute power would have to liquidate at least 25 million of us deadeners who would refuse to be reeducated and submit to their plans for paradise on earth.

Larry Grathwohl is the military veteran who volunteered to infiltrate the Weather Underground as an FBI operative in 1969.  He is probably best-known for his firsthand account of a Weatherman meeting at which the organization's leadership, including the future Professor Ayers, discussed the logistics of how, after the communist revolution they were trying to spearhead, they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program.  Grathwohl has often been interviewed about that meeting and about his days among the Weather Underground (WU).  The focus of those interviews used to be on the radicals and their terrorist operations.  More recently, interviewers have turned to Grathwohl to help them highlight Barack Obama's own radicalism, by reminding people of the true nature of the "guy in Obama's neighborhood."


Yeah, Tillis, Thune, Collins, Murkowski and all the rest are venal, amoral pigs. But they're not going to engage in the aforementioned. Yeah, we'll be poorer and frustrated when they're in office but we won't be rotting in a mass grave should the Ocasios, Talaricos, El-Sayeds and all the rest win the next election or two which would then be the last ones ever held.

And on a very closely related note, this happened yesterday...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he tried to negotiate with President Trump to release the “criminal illegal alien” and alleged gang member who was shot by ICE Thursday in the Bronx as he called for the abolishment of the federal agency.

“Around 4 p.m. this afternoon, a New Yorker was shot by ICE agents in Marble Hill,” a furious Mamdani told reporters at the late-night press conference near the scene of a rowdy anti-ICE protest in the borough. “For the past two hours, I’ve been on the phone with President Trump and [DHS] Secretary Mullin negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot. Those negotiations were unsuccessful,” Hizzoner said. The migrant, identified by the NYPD as Oscar Belgal, 28, was shot in the neck and hospitalized before he was taken from NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital by unmarked ICE vehicles, according to the mayor. Mamdani — who spoke over protesters’ chants labeling him “complicit” — called Immigration and Customs Enforcement “rotten to its core” and is an “agency that must be abolished” in the fiery speech. “What does Trump have to say about all of this?” he demanded. “Now I made clear to the president, to the secretary, our request [is] that ICE agents leave the scene entirely — as well as the demand that ICE stop its enforcement actions in New York City.” The Department of Homeland Security said ICE had been attempting to arrest Belgal, of the Dominican Republic, who they claimed has ties to the Trinitarios gang when the shooting occurred. . . However, moments before the press conference kicked off around 11:20 p.m., “ICE put the man in an unmarked vehicle and whisked him away,” Hizzoner said. “Let me say this plainly, what happened today was an outrage,” Mamdani fumed. “Today’s shooting is only further devastating confirmation of what we have long known, which is that ICE operates with impunity, that they sow chaos and terror across our country, that they have killed far more of our neighbors than they could ever have claimed to save,” the mayor said. 

in other words, we have Hitler complaining that the Allied armies have killed too many Waffen S.S. before they had the chance to exterminate all the untermenschen and conquer the world!

As if to underscore both these stories, we have this madness:

When pro-terrorist activist Mahmoud Khalil appeared on CNN Monday, Kaitlan Collins asked if he would condemn Hamas. He, of course, would not, calling the question “silly” and “disingenuous.” It isn’t “black and white,” he whined. Even if you oppose Israel’s reaction to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the answer is still black and white for any person with a conscience.
Certainly, it should be for any person who wants to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas — and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army — tells us not only that he deserves to be deported, but that it’s imperative we deport him.
During the 1960s and 1970s, immigration officials grilled newcomers to the US about their affiliations with communist parties.
Why would we import people who want to destroy our system?
Newcomers were, and still are, compelled to disavow associations with illiberal movements, violent groups and ideologies. They were also required to promise not to engage in any subversive or revolutionary activity.

Well, Khalil’s entire job as an “activist” is to engage in subversive or revolutionary activity.
Khalil is an Algerian, incidentally, not a Palestinian — though he is a champion of Palestinianism, one of the most nihilistic, bigoted, violent, anti-Western ideologies of the age.
There’s no anti-American or Marxist protest or riot anywhere in the world these days where Palestinian flags are not prominent.The French, of course, don’t need much impetus to riot.
. . . The red-green alliance between Islamists and communists isn’t new — it’s just more popular than ever.
France has over 5 million Muslims.
What you see happening this week on the streets of Paris is exactly what Khalil hopes to see in the United States.
We saw as much when he was the lead “negotiator” for Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which rioted at the school in 2024.
The group’s goal is to fight for the “total eradication of Western civilization,” “global intifada” and the “armed resistance” of Hamas. . Yes, free speech is a universal right.
And while I support Khalil’s natural right to express himself unfettered in his home country of Algeria, or anywhere else he ends up living, there is no unfettered right to be in the United States.
There is certainly no unfettered right to citizenship.
And the only useful adjective to describe the act of knowingly handing it to people who incite unrest and detest us is suicidal.

There's intentionally swallowing rat poison and then there's cancer that comes from within! Aside from those we insanely import, we have our own homegrown fellow citizens IN NAME ONLY, who seek our destruction.
Where have you gone Tailgunner Joe McCarthy, our nation turns its blackened, bruised and bleeding eyes to you!!!!!!

24 Those universities are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburgh, UC Davis, Caltech, Arizona State, and MIT, and what we see is that when you employ an American worker as a graduate student, as a researcher, they’re making about $20,000 more than someone brought in under a J-1 visa, and importantly, these universities are employing J-1 visas for federally funded grants at a rate of about 61 percent.

62 I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about a church running a singles dating event and it was not well attended by the men. A few people were saying that it was creepy to use a church for this.

My thought: Shouldn't a church have events like this to encourage young people to marry and have families? The response to my opinion was a bit negative but I see nothing wrong with it.
Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 06:12 AM (NR6c1)


Catholics don't generally hold such events in the church proper, which is formally consecrated. Baptists use theirs as a general meeting space, designed to be repurposed throughout the week, maybe even with moveable partitions. It's a fundamentally incompatible sense of the sacred.

Of course Catholics have diocesan groups for young adult singles, some parishes may as well. I visited another parish's group for co-ed volleyball in their parish school's gym. I met up with the diocesan group at a brewpub for an artwalk in the Big City arts district. Things like that, perfectly normal.

I can see different points of view, but one benefit of keeping the chapel sacred is to discourage the players' game of Sunday Morning Nightclub.

Hey, SciVo. I was going to answer you and Fen but the thread had closed by the time I got back.

My view was simply that a church should encourage the single men and women to marry and have kids. Apparently, this did not sit well with some folks. I ain't going back to that thread because I have a feeling that nothing I say would make a difference.

Fen, thanks for your perspective as well. I do think that churches should be actively setting things like this up since you would have people of like minds meeting. And now I remember a minister who told his congregation that the unmarried people who were living together had six months to get married or breakup. He even provided counseling and the church for the service.

76 Dem Candidate Claims She Was Raped by 2 MAGA Men Whom She Can’t Describe


Rapes in America are usually done by illegals brought in during Democrat administrations. Sometimes, it's a citizen. Usually in lower income areas or gang related.

It's NEVER a MAGA man. NEVER.

They want you dead, imprisoned or enslaved. Democrats are NOT for America. They're for communism. Remember, Owebama was jealous of Xi Jinping because he could squash his press if they were negative.

They want total control. NOT a free society.

136 Rural Electrification was an interesting historical program of the 1930s. Some places didn’t really get “wired” till the 1950s. Of course it wasn’t cost effective for utilities, and farmers and ranchers couldn’t afford to pay for the “last mile” of poles and wiring.

Most people in the sticks ran on batteries. Banks of them. Wire your house for 32 volt DC Lights and appliances.

Windmills and generators for re-charging. WinChargers are sometimes found in antique shops. Neat items, and kind of rare. One reason, the government required these be destroyed, or rendered inoperable, in exchange for getting mains electrical service. Shooting them was considered acceptable.

32 volt DC “farm radios” are sometimes found. They used the same electrical plug as more modern appliances, but woe to the knick-knack collector who plugs one in to 120 volts AC to “see if it works”. Oops!

As she was doing something with campaign signs. At 2am.

She doesn't know where the attack happened and can't describe the men other than to say that they were white Republicans. They were wearing MAGA hats. They told her, "This is MAGA country," as they took her. Over and over.

Then they gave her a Subway sandwich. Which is why she didn't report it for two weeks, as is, apparently, common among women these days.

Rogers might not be hardcore MAGA or a great campaigner but Abdul is a pro-jihadist fraud whose father works for the Muslim Brotherhood, his mother worked for al Qaeda, owns a home in the UAE and at least one more in Pakistan or some other muslim shit hole.

He's an absolute fraud and is being exposed over and over as one. Barely squeaked by his primary by 1 point after we were told he was going to win by double digits. He hasn't gotten more popular.

Then and now, the entire plan is to wait out the unwelcome interlude with the orange interloper and then return to our regularly scheduled screening of "(D)racula vs. (R)enfield 48: The Encuckening."

Fox really isn't much better than any of the other media outlets. It's been obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes and even a bit of smarts that the west has been under attack by the red/green alliance for years and those groups are funded by communists and islamist working together to destroy the west.

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

Hamas planned and coordinated the 10/7 attack so that immediately after the attack, Pali activists throughout the western world started protesting on behalf of Hamas, condemning "genocidal" Israel before the 10/7 victims' bodies were cold. Khalil was a protest leader at Columbia.

I even have a Leif Erickson Day button. Marched in the May 17 Norwegian Independence Day Parade. I never went to an English language church service until I was 12.Both of my parents came over on the boat, separately, around 1950.

If you haven't already, go to Amazon and buy an ice therapy machine. Then freeze eight 8 or 12 ounce bottles of water whichever best fits your machine. Fill your new machine with water poured over the frozen bottles, strap it onto your knee and turn it on.

Instant relief. Switch out the bottles every couple hours. It is truly the best.

The 2026 Newark Islamic flag raising was a ceremony held on January 9, 2026, at Newark City Hall in Newark, New Jersey—the state's largest city, with a population exceeding 300,000—during which an Islamic flag was hoisted amid cheers of "Allahu Akbar" from attendees. Organized as part of New Jersey Muslim Heritage Month by the Newark Muslim Heritage Coalition, the event highlighted the city's diverse demographics but sparked online discussion regarding the display of religious symbols in public spaces, trending via social media with notable engagement

They can't let this go to trial. Can you imagine the cross-examination of the Victim?

If Cornell pays her a few million then the Guilt of the Seven becomes established fact. Lawyer Giuffra makes bank for writing a flawed complaint, And the Sisterhood prevails.

Cornell itself will be a huge loser.

Even with this crackdown I don’t see much change happening. The entire leadership is Indian. Not all are H1Bs many are green card or even citizens. There are also many other visas used to bring them over. Another scam is many of these people aren’t direct employees. They are employees of Tata or Infosys and are contracted out using L1 visas. It’s one giant scam on top of a grift.

351 Good morning. Thank you, J.J.

Watched a bit of News Nation this am and found it's more positive and objective than any other popular cable or msm news network. There were guests that emphasized the positive & reality: Inflation has dropped from 9% down to 3+% in this country, and should drop further. There has been no storming of the U.S. borders by unvetted illegals for over a year and a half. And Iran is NOT a joke; it must be stopped.

What is on the other "new" channels? TDS wrapped into almost every other headline, and mostly as the breaking news.

We have a governor who's entire platform has been & continues to be suing the Trump administration with our taxpayer dollars and installing "politicians" - Socialists - who will fight the 3 "Cs" - chaos, cruelty, and corruption - of the administration. And I think that sounds like the damn pattern for all of the blue (& 'PA purple') lead clowns. After all, how are Hochul, Mikie, Abigail & the rest of the children any different?

From above, "... they would murder the ten percent of the American population that would likely remain resistant to the communists' re-education program."

It's not a joke, nor distant.

Probably the long-overdue execution of the army base spree killer. From Brave AI:

The military execution of Nidal Hasan is scheduled to take place at Fort Hood in Texas.

Date & Time: December 3, 2026, at 1 p.m. Central Time
Method: Firing squad
Significance: This will be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by firing squad since World War II
Public Access: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the event will be public and livestreamed

Fort Hood is a U.S. Army post in Killeen, Texas, in Central Texas. It sits roughly halfway between Austin (~60 mi south) and Waco (~50 mi north), spanning about 335 square miles across Bell and Coryell counties.

Note: The base was briefly renamed Fort Cavazos in 2023 but was renamed back to Fort Hood in 2025.

I don't care how cheap it is, if my company, or self, needed to pay for AI to use for projects, there's no way I'd use Chinese AI to do it with.

I'm not even sure if I'd use a free Chinese model that I could run locally.

It's not so much as it being more dangerous than any other country's AI, but it's more like I have no idea how much data the AI is sending to the CCP's servers in the open or clandestinely.

Of course a church should. In the late '80s-early '90s I attended several singles events at a church near where I worked, and met and dated two or three nice ladies.

Before dating apps, if you recall, churches used to do this regularly or hold singles dances, and local arts-and-entertainment papers used to hold events like these too. In Denver I went to one in late '97.

Churches have long held social events for young people.

They used to hold dances, picnics, cookouts, for that very purpose. Or, a lot of churches did, I'm sure there were some denominations that believed it was all the devil's work.

With its cartridge port, obviously the new 800XL can use a range of cartridges that also worked with the original. Specifically, the product page mentions that “most Atari 400, 800, XL, and XE cartridges” are supported by the new system.

A bullet point at the bottom of the article also mentions:

Also features support for software created for 8-bit computers and the Atari 5200 console.

So, I guess it's "Your old game cartridge might work, but we're not making any promises."

Last night the noir film on Movies! was 1947's The Unsuspected, directed by Michael "Casablanca" Curtiz. It stars Claude Rains as a radio commentator (inspired, I've read, by Alexander Woollcott) who focuses on real-life murder cases. Turns out he's got some murders he plans to execute in his own life. A fascinating, complex, and atmospheric movie, based on a Charlotte Armstrong novel.

Well, this one is pretty skinny too. Beautiful green eyes, but with a habit of constant meowing. Even if I had no cats at all, even if he were not feral-skittish, I would find him hard to live with. With the exception of smart black cat Marie-Antoinette, all of my cats have been very quiet. And Marie was just trying to tell us how best to serve her.

124 I have performed marriage services for people who have meet on line and they been married for a while . I've also known people affected by scams.. The Anglican minister was telling me last night that not only is there sexual trafficking promulgated on line, but there are people ( lots from different parts of Asia) where they are forced to scam calls through the 'net. That probably explains calls from out of the country which say things like "_____( my first name) . Is this still your number?" My thought : "If you know my name why don't you tell me yours.?" I I immediately hit the delete and report scam Button.

133 I was watching a YouTube video yesterday about a church running a singles dating event and it was not well attended by the men. A few people were saying that it was creepy to use a church for this.

My thought: Shouldn't a church have events like this to encourage young people to marry and have families? The response to my opinion was a bit negative but I see nothing wrong with it.
Posted by: NR Pax at October 09, 2026 06:12 AM (NR6c1)


Catholics don't generally hold such events in the church proper, which is formally consecrated. Baptists use theirs as a general meeting space, designed to be repurposed throughout the week, maybe even with built-in moveable partitions. It's a fundamentally incompatible sense of the sacred.

Of course Catholics have diocesan groups for young adult singles, some parishes may as well. I visited another parish's group for co-ed volleyball in their parish school's gym. I met up with the diocesan group at a brewpub for an artwalk in the Big City arts district. Things like that, perfectly normal.

I can see different points of view, but one benefit of keeping the chapel sacred is to discourage the players' game of Sunday Morning Nightclub.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - October 8, 2026

HUHGsP6bsAAt_hv.jpg
Adirondack Mountains, New York - From Aesthetic vibes


Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Thursday ONT! Mixed bag of content for those who care. Open thread, as always. On time, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

***


To embrace rapidly increasing technological advances or not.

Kodiak says yes. Kodiak ready to 'pull the driver' and launch unsupervised driverless trucks by end of year

Kodiak's unsupervised driverless long-haul delivery trucks will soon hit Texas roads as its partnership with Swedish furniture giant IKEA enters a new phase.

Kodiak founder and CEO Don Burnette joined "Varney & Co." Tuesday to shed light on the rollout and the technology behind the autonomous trucks.

"We're starting with one. We're gonna get that first one out by the end of the year, and then we're gonna start to scale throughout 2027 and beyond," Burnette said.

Burnette said IKEA will serve as the launch partner later in the year.

"We're doing just over 200-mile trips to start, but nobody in the driver's seat, nobody in [the] cab," Burnette said.

Burnette explained that Kodiak provides the AI-powered software that serves as "the brain" behind how the autonomous trucks drive.

"We've proven the technology is safe and reliable. We've done a lot of work over the last decade or so to make sure we've covered every contingency, and now we're ready to go," he said.

Doordash says yes. DoorDash drone delivery doesn’t spell end for drivers, executive says

DoorDash is revolutionizing the way it delivers food to its Northern California customers thanks to drones, officials say.

The company insists that all will remain the same, except deliveries made by drones will ensure faster arrivals and more options for consumers.

Harrison Shih, head of DoorDash Air, joined “The Hill on NewsNation” to discuss the new delivery method, adding it may “one day” be an offering in big cities such as New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles.

“DoorDash really is the strongest in your standard suburbs, and I think that’s what makes this service so good for DoorDash, as we think about drone delivery, is DoorDash has really been built around… connecting those communities with their neighbors and getting food across all of those areas,” Shih said.


DoorDash says its new drone can get food to you in under five minutes — but Texas residents are already calling Amazon drone noise a 'big problem'

The future of doorstep delivery is drones apparently (well, drones and robots): DoorDash has unveiled a new drone ready to get food to you in under five minutes on average, even as Amazon faces a growing number of complaints over its own drone delivery service.

DoorDash has been planning drone deliveries for a while, calling the scheme DoorDash Air, and we've now been given a look at the six-propeller aircraft that'll be doing the delivering. A trial is planned for Northern California, in partnership with restaurant brands including Chipotle and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen.

A lot of work has gone into the pick-up and drop-off infrastructure and ordering system, DoorDash says, as well as the drone itself. The company estimates that around 80% of customer orders are light enough to transport by drone, and initial tests suggest orders can be delivered in less than five minutes on average.

***

The drones won't land when they deliver — they'll lower their cargo in front of your door or in your backyard and then zoom away again. According to DoorDash, failsafes will be built in so the drones can safely land in emergencies, and their cruising noise will be comparable to a passing car "at delivery height".

That noise element might be crucial to the scheme's success. As TechSpot reports, residents in Richardson, Texas are none too pleased about the constant buzzing being created by Amazon drones, which launched Prime Air in the area last December. The sound has been compared to that of a flying lawnmower.

***

Chick-fil-A says not so fast. Chick-fil-A rules out AI drive-thru ordering as fast-food rivals embrace technology

Chick-fil-A is bucking a growing fast-food industry trend, with CEO Andrew Cathy saying the chicken chain does not plan to use artificial intelligence to take customers' drive-thru orders.

While Chick-fil-A is exploring potential uses for AI behind the scenes, Cathy told CNBC that the company wants to preserve human interaction in its drive-thru lanes even as competitors increasingly experiment with automated ordering technology.

"From our experience, we really want that hospitality to be human to human," Cathy told the outlet. "We’re not going to substitute that interaction with technology, because we feel like that hospitality is so important to create that warm environment for consumers."


***

The US Army unsurprisingly says yes. US Army tests counter-drone tech at Mexican border as cartel drone use rises

The US Army is testing counter-drone technology in the US-Mexico border area, seeking to ‌sharpen its defenses against the growing threat of drone use by cartels and emulate the rapid battlefield innovation happening in Ukraine's war with Russia.

At Falcon Peak, a US Northern Command exercise held in September in Arizona, soldiers watched as defense firms demonstrated radars, ​interceptor drones, autonomous gun systems and other technologies designed to detect, track and destroy small unmanned ​aircraft.

33 So, after playing around 4 hours of the follow-up to Disco Elysium, Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, I've thrown in the towel.

The protagonist is a lesbian, communist, that looks like Jodi Whitaker, and has a 5 pack a day voice, she's uninteresting and instantly forgettable, the story is insipid, the atmospherics, music and sound effects are boring and uninspired.

It's a shame because Disco Elysium is one of the best rpg's of all-time, along the same lines as The Secret of Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revenge, which essentially is the inspiration for Pirates of The Caribbean.

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

And right now, it appears that this is going to be an older and whiter electorate--Gen X and Boomers predominating which are swinging toward GOP. Youth turnout is not going to be that much perhaps below 10 percent apparently with Millennials above yutes but well below X and Boomers so far.

Getting enough early voting and absentee requests now to start painting the actual electorate.

46 The head of the Hartford Symphony came out on stage for the opening concert of the season to give everyone a quick talk. He suggested that people consider buying full season tickets. It’s not just about saving money on purchases. It’s about having a routine, knowing that there is a concert calling next week, building in a ritual that is binding in some way.

More than that, he said, we live in times that are being gravely threatened by dehumanization. We interact more with digital systems than with people. But at the symphony, he said, there are real people, musicians who have mastered their instruments through thousands of hours of practice, and they are playing physical things.

There are bows drawn on gut and steel strings, real cymbals clanging together, mallets hitting drums, lungs powering brass, and a harpist using hands and figures to make the sounds of heaven appear before us. A season ticket shows your loyalty to the humane arts, to the beautiful, to the truth, to the analog world of genuine human achievement

I read the content - drones as loud as a passing car *at what speed*? And from inside or outside of your own car? Cuz... interstate speeds while you're standing on the shoulder? Not so quiet.

No sign of the draconids here, too much light pollution in that quadrant right now.

Job search continues, a part time temp job might go active soon, and that would bring some income and keep some skills sharp/get the rust cleaned off. Had one previous interview from about a month ago finally update with "sorry but you're not moving forward"... still have the others to hope for, including the best fit I've felt since I started this whole sorry saga (last Thursday's interview).

I pray frequently, and try to keep an open mind about how "where God wants me" might not line up with "what sounds good to me". Trying to pray more, and pray better.

She said that her late husband would play golf and then come home later. Apparently he was having a few or more drinks in the clubhouse or elsewhere. She was surprised that the church golf group actually just we out to play golf.

Whatever it is, it has to be incapacitating, if it was something like cancer or even the flu, the candidate would be at least sending out messages, pix from a hospital bed, something other than radio silence. If old, something like stroke might be possible but age tends to rule that out but if Talafreako did go loopy, then his handlers don't want him seen nor heard until they patch him up like Biden.

Whatever it is, it is not severe enough to try to parachute another candidate in, but severe enough that the Dems don't want him seen that way.

100 Admittedly, I don't pretend to understand all the safeguards instituted into driverless vehicles (and now tractor trailers). But, I'd like to know one thing:

Does AI possess enough logic/ creativity/ precognition/ imagination to view a vehicle up ahead that is creating a "HEY, LOOK AT THIS IDIOT" scenario, and react like we humans do.

The vehicle ahead may be maintaining itself within the boundaries of the lane, although weaving and drifting enough for a human driver to recognize an issue (drinking, falling asleep, medical issues) resulting in us keeping our distance and keeping an eye on them in the event that a quick reaction is required. I don't see AI being able to apply that human response if for the time being the vehicle remains within its lane.

106 Is Talarico's nervous breakdown going to give him the sympathy vote? I guess who'd notice at this point with people like McConnell in office.

Just what people need is a nervous ghey in office.

I enjoyed and related to the redneck video. My beloved father, Marine, chemistry degree, golfing, refined Southern gentleman was most of that.

He even had a "back 40" or at least 10 acres of cars on the farm. Our sons were thrilled to find these relics one winter day, with a tree growing through one of them. Sunk into the ground. Felt like explorers. After his death someone bought the cars to restore and mother got money for them as they were hauled off.

He certainly did not throw stuff away and had jars of screws, etc, in his storage room. He also messed with electricity at times for reasons unknown. An electrician told my mother that the motion detectors were wired with mystery.

There were electric fences for the cows here and and sometimes not seen (one painter was peeing way in the back woods and got a shock).

I had free entertainment for most of my life.

I think this is likely.

And I think it's really, really, really fucking bad.

Plain old larceny and mayhem isn't close to enough to frighten off a Democrat or his voters.

I'm thinking a dead staffer, or a buggered child, or direct ties to foreign intelligence. Something very naughty.

The ASL franchise is licensed to MMP. Multi Man Productions and is alive and well.

They have completely rereleased and updated every single of the old core modules and have done about a dozen historical modules. So saying ASL has screwed the pooch might be just a bit hyperbole.

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

177 Whatever it is, it has to be incapacitating, if it was something like cancer or even the flu, the candidate would be at least sending out messages, pix from a hospital bed, something other than radio silence. If old, something like stroke might be possible but age tends to rule that out but if Talafreako did go loopy, then his handlers don't want him seen nor heard until they patch him up like Biden.

Whatever it is, it is not severe enough to try to parachute another candidate in, but severe enough that the Dems don't want him seen that way.

The officer in charge of the execution is the Commander, Leavenworth Disciplinary Barracks.

This is a potential career-ender if it does not go off well. So I expect it to go smoothly.

211 TNF Walmart uses that tech for, among other things, evil self checkout.

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

It is one thing for a private organization to protect property; it is another for an organization that exists to deprive people of their liberty, or kill them, to engage in constant surveillance.

How this is playing out right now puts a spotlight on why Paxton was always a far better candidate than Cornyn. (Despite all the consultant class lies to the contrary). Paxton has jumped on the disappearance and is mocking him in his speeches lately, with no response from the Dems.

When a candidate becomes the butt of many jokes, his campaign is over, especially if he doesn’t respond.

Cornyn would have sat back and said nothing except “that’s not who we are.”

To make it sporty, put him on an incline and let him roll near a pool of gators. There are 3 chances and if all 3 fail to get in a live round, the woodchipper is next door of the top of the incline to wheel him there. Easy.

Hi, nurse. Last summer I got a bit of norovirus from the baby grandgirl. She harfed on me and that started the all female band (son, grandson and husband were oddly immune).

I got what I called the cholera version of the diarrhea instant weight loss for days. I knew better than to drink colored gatorade and stuck to a refreshing clear and fruity pedialyte. I need to stock some for end times.

We had to fly to NOLA and see my mother in MS a week later. I look like a corpse in the family photos.

'Twas a lovely time as during the fiesta of pedialyte my husband discovered a leak from the kitchen to the basement family room. Requiring plumbing, sheet rock guys, a drying fan, and painters as I lay dying upstairs.

I didn't care. The contractor told my husband that we were the calmest people he'd ever worked with after a wall flood (well, he didn't see me, but I was calm as near death).

3.) The Khashoggi bone saw

***** The Brits did that with James Connolly when they shot him in the yard of Kilmainham Gaol after the failed 1916 rising. The optics of shooting a crippled were bad for the English. I'd rather the raghead be hanged while seated in a chair like Mary Surratt for Lincoln's assassination.

Administration should go completely nuclear in their public statements. Emphasizing that ALL illegal aliens are subject to removal. Mamdani's statement is standard issue childish idiocy, but it should be nuked in detail, sentence by sentence.

405 Apropos of nothing - there was some forum discussion a few weeks back about sensitive or top secret information being published inadvertently (or purposely?) during World War II.

I found another one, I think, that almost certainly must have drawn some attention. Or not…

Old time radio program, Superman episode “Dr Deutsch and the Radium Mine” first aired in June 1941

The episode was about Radium, and the evil Dr. Deutsch and his underground lair for smuggling Radium in hollowed out books, which isn’t quite separating isotopes of Uranium, but it’s pretty close, and they mentioned “atomic” power or bombs, and how a small handful of the stuff could wipe out the entire United States.

This is pretty remarkable given the time frame, in that year physicists, mostly refugees from Europe, were still pretty much trying to get the US government to get motivated even about the possibility of fast fission bombs. This was about the time Enrico Fermi tried to alert the US Navy. He managed to get an interview at the War department with some colonel or someone. He overheard an aide alert his boss in his office while he (Fermi) was waiting - “There’s a Wop outside”.

If you were to go to Flightradar24.com and click on the planes going over, you can then find the registration number and then find out who owns the planes.
What gets odd is if all the planes are of a similar make but are owned by different companies and universities. Then you gotta wonder if something is going on.

I had been trying to think what to get Mom for her 80th birthday. Then I remembered I had some audio cassettes my grandparents made when mom and dad first got married. The first one is from February. 1970.

I got them digitized and got the audio link tonight. It is so wonderful. The first tape is somewhat garbled as they were trying to work out how the recorder worked. So it is a bit out of order as I think they listened to what they first recorded and then recorded over the bad spots. I have just been listening for the past couple of hours.

Going to see Mom and Dad for her birthday tomorrow. I hope she likes it.

428 One of the classic anecdotes about the erosion of standards in the US was a story about a small parcel of land in CT, in some small city. It was federal, was surplused and given to the municipality. So the town proceeded to do the necessary to re-purpose the property.

The environmental assessment turned up ..... radioactivity. Very anomalous levels thereof. Hmmm. Further investigation revealed that the site had been the location of a secret facility using radium (I think to paint instrument dials) during WWII.

Key point: quite a few of the workers who had worked at the facility in WWII were still alive, and local. Of course none said a word when the whole property transfer thing was going on. When asked why they never said anything, a woman (as I recall) who'd worked there said something like "it was a secret operation, and we were never told it was no longer secret".

Similar things happened in the UK in the 90s. Standards are real. Their erosion or weakening is one of the most damaging trends in civilization.

464 Going from memory, but at Nuremburg they employed an Army SFC hangman who had previously performed hundreds of hangings. (Apparently our boys weren’t always necessarily on their best behavior in Europe) With 15 million in uniform and lots of pressure rapes and murder were inevitable I guess.

Firing squad was historically (or traditionally) considered the honorable way for a soldier to go to his great reward. Major Hasan naturally doesn’t deserve any of that. Hanging would be appropriate in this case.

The certainty of punishment is important, but always the celerity. 17 years is Fucking Clown World. A terrible injustice and insult to the victims and family. Sends a terrible message to rank and file on how important their lives are.

Some assclown general officer at the time started whining publicly about how important “diversity” was. So very sick of all these stupid MFers.

474 FWIW, I am beginning to see signs that this midterm may be more like 2002 than 2014,2018 or even 2022. Political winds seem to be blowing in the GOP favor as the races clarify.

The Democrats nationalized the race early by their endless Orangeman Bad and now the race is becoming a referendum on Democrats want to do that they have not talked about rather than the GOP hasn't done. Plus the electorate so far in ev and vote by mail requests is skewing Gen X and Boomers with Boomers breaking right while the polls still show yutes storming the polls at historically abnormal rates for midterms.

Cautiously optimistic as if the GOP does well in the marquee races as they appear to be doing, then the down ballot races including House races make it possible for the GOP to hold the house. I think with Rogers slamming Sayed that MI race tonight is now his to lose and that makes it almost impossible for the Dems to win the Senate. And most of the states with real tight races in the Senate are Democrat like in MN, NH, and it looks like Collins did her job in her debate and an older electorate is probably going to keep her in office.

Even NC and GA are reachable it seems now.

481 Er, off Bob Dylan sock.

I just spent the evening checking in on debates, voting patterns, candidate spending, and even a few polls. GOP has the momentum right now and the Democrat candidates are not really performing in debates in state after state as if they are bad candidates this cycle.

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

485 Dammit cannot get off the Bob Dylan sock,

But, Trump's messaging and rallies are also having an effect and I think the H1B/OPT announcements along with announcements of new investments in these rallies is going to have a positive effect and yet the Democrats cannot really respond in a coherent opposition message, sort of like Talarico, their candidates seem in a daze right now which is odd. Katie Hobbs for example has been hiding longer than Talarico in the bunker.

It is as if they thought by concentrating on criticizing Trump would be their magic wand this election and that Trump's unfavorabilities would surely bring the GOP down. I think RINOs were hoping that as well. But a small sign today indicates the GOP if not the media may be giving up the demoralization campaign, Thom Tillis endorsed Michael Whatley for the Senate today.

Pollsters are getting more serious in likely voter screening and suddenly totally ridiculous polling is becoming more realistic. Prediction markets are going the be the last to start moving except in specific races.

Heh. For some reason, my browser is not being cooperative today.

I always prefer to make any prognostications until I see the shape of the electorate and this electorate is going to skew older this time and whiter. I don't see blacks particularly enthused in voting for Dems and part of that may be resentment over the new found concerns for illegals that the Dems have been focusing upon.

I don't see youth really fired up except perhaps other than responding to texts to answer polling because their vote share is coming in really low. Bringing out old celebutards like Willy or Bruce is simply tone deaf by now.

And I think all the radical pro Gaza and other policies like troonism or illegals is simply not playing well in this environment other than the roughly 22-25 percent DSA type liberals in the electorate. Sayed is patient zero but the inability to address Iran, Muslims, and the 10/7 attacks is all due to DSA types being out of step with the mainstream on these issues. Ditto now for illegals--the overton window has shifted right and riots like in Paris are confirming this.

I think the problem is deeper than that. What the DSA Democrats want to do is not sellable to the majority of the electorate. Pro Gaza when all our past associations with those assholes is a long stream of murderous terrorism. Pro Iran when again, a long train that other voters recognize as a nasty murderous regime. Pro socialism, sells okay to broke college students, not to those that have stuff that the DSA types want to take. Putting radicals like Mamdani as a F/U to the Man in NYC does not work in Michigan for a Senate race. Putting a wealthy self funded candidate for governor parachuted in from Portland OR does not play well when the state is Iowa. Talarico is a small time candidate with skanty experience suddenly in the big leagues in a very expensive and tough Senate campaign and may have crumbled like a cookie under that pressure.

Ossoff played arrogant when he has very little achievement to be arrogant about. These are not seeming as likable people that the Dems put up this cycle. Smug, well off enough to insulate themselves, zealots, and nutty would be my take.

I think the much older No Kings crowd is responsible for the initial spurt of voting as polls and voting request opened but that has been eroded each day by GOP requests and EV totals. Youth vote from 18-29 is below ten percent in places like OH for example. In some states, indicative of a GOP ground game, the GOP is actually ahead of vbm and early voting compared with 2024! which was a presidential year. Michigan is one of those states and it might cost the Dems the governor's house as well as both the GOP candidates, Rogers and James are known, and the MI Sec of State trying to succeed Whitmer is known as a major league cheater and asshole from litigation stemmig back to 2020. James, like Rogers, dominated the debate with the Dem candidate. Sayed, I think is finished after tonight. Rogers brought the heat and smoked him which should extend Roger's narrow lead.

Why would you want out of Grand Jury duty? I'd love to get on one. It's not like a trial jury, where you sit on your butt and watch the lawyers perform. A Grand Jury has subpoena powers, and members get to ask questions of their own. The old joke about indicting a ham sandwich aside, a jury with some balls can be a DAs worse nightmare.
I had a cow-orker who was on one that went way rogue. They refused to give the DA multiple charges to use as a club to extract a guilty plea. A couple of cases where the DA brought in one cop, the jury subpoenaed their partner got a different story and refused to indict.
It sounded like fun to me.

CNN: Talarico’s 12-day absence from trail becomes fodder for GOP in Texas Senate race

He has the flu and is a type 1 diabetic, those two things do not go well together so I understand. I’m t1 diabetic and last time I got the flu I ended up in the ICU. His team says he’ll be back this weekend though.

meanwhile Tom Kean in NJ disappears for months with radio silence, comes back and cites vague medical issues, then votes to cut medical benefits.

Couldn’t even get the guy to come visit a factory in town before the tariffs shut it down, lmao. Tom Kean Jr. is a worthless piece of shit. He should’ve been aborted.

Paxton won’t even debate him and can’t answer any questions about his record without running away but yeah Talarico being sick with the flu is way worse

Did not take CNN long to become right wing propaganda. Paxton has ran possibly the laziest campaign I've ever seen, but we're just going to make shit up about Talarico I guess.

"Fodder for GOP"? They don't even need things that are real for fodder. They've been calling him a vegan all year and it's not true at all. They just make shit up.

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

95 Oh, f*ck off, you jihadi:

Footage obtained by the New York Daily News showed police officers carrying the wounded man from a silver SUV and putting him in the back of a black car, which sped off.

The unidentified man is now in the hospital, where police officers said he is conscious and receiving medical attention. His wounds are not considered life-threatening, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.

A five-year-old was also said to have been in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, but was uninjured.

Mamdani called the incident 'unconscionable and incredibly serious' in a post on social media as he announced his plans to get federal agents out of New York City.

'I have called the President; when we speak, I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city,' the mayor said.

'I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities,' he continued. 'Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.'

'Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children,' Mamdani concluded. 'Abolish ICE.'

MIKE ROGERS JUST ENDED ABDUL'S NIGHT.

At tonight's debate, Rogers called out El-Sayed for not even acknowledging October 7th on its anniversary.

Abdul's answer was that he "gave people space to grieve" and that Rogers was turning it into political theater.

Rogers fired right back that his whole campaign is political theater. Over 1,200 people were slaughtered by Hamas that day, and a man running for the United States Senate couldn't find the words.

Note how overexposed he is there. He did that in order to see the four Galilean moons lined up like ducks in row. The overexposure glare made them all look bigger than than the really are. There's a world of the complexity of optics, telescopes, resolving power, etc, etc, in how all this works.

Also, if interested read about the Great Meteor Storm of 1833. That was about the biggest one in recorded history, I think. People thought the world was about to end.

That led to the modern astronomical meteor science.

It's sort of hard to believe, but up until 1803, astronomers and the physicists of the day thought that the idea of "rocks from space" was pure nonsense, the equivalent of Big Foot and UFOs today. A bunch of peasants making shit up. In 1803, the "rocks from space" hypothesis was conclusively confirmed. I forget the details there.

But it wasn't until that Doomsday storm of 1833 that they began to develop the theory of just what these rocks from space really were.

The word "meteorology" which means weather today, came from that Ancient Greek Homo theories. "Meteor" basically means "high in the sky".

We had "aqueous meteors", which was water high the sky, rain, snow, hail. Then we had "air meteors". That was wind and tornadoes and storms. The "luminous meteors" which were rainbows and aurora.

I hope he's very dead. I can't remember his name as it's all a blur of keeping them straight. No doubt his nickname was Mo or Ahab.

LOL! I did a search of "hairy terrorist found in a hole in white tee shirt and found this!!!! A company in Turkey used his photo for a hair removal ad and he's at Gitmo:

238 Whig, you misspelled “into Hell via the gallows or firing squad.”

Some of them should be out there on poles next to Hasan.

I agree with both of you guys. So we compromise, we dangle them over sharpened stakes and let the firing squad do target practice trying to hit the rope keeping them suspended above the stakes. If a round or two happens to hit a head or two, well, they have to buy a round of beers for their fellow soldiers.

I am easy to please that way.

239 "UPS plans to hire 100,000 seasonal workers across the United States for the 2026 holiday shipping rush"

I applied there many years ago, went through the whole security check thing, then they never called back. Nobody ever calls back.

240 235 Probably have to gag Hasan during the execution, since, knowing it's livestreamed, he will be shouting exhortations to jihadists around the world.

Mebbe, the plan is to bend him over so he takes the shots in the ass.

Braenyard,

Probably all illegals will be hired.

Just imagine, they can steal fully loaded trucks instead of being porch pirates.

Merry Christmas!

243 Astral report: Tolerable temperature, no mosquitoes, eventually some stars poking through the hazy sky. Some lightning bugs, a dozen unidentified ariel phenomena, and Milady Jo thought she saw one meteor.

Six decades back, with Dad, we'd lie out here at the ol' ranch, staring at the sky and reaping rewards of brief flashes. Big City fifty miles south of us was a lot smaller and darker back then. Smallville ten miles north of us is now as glaring as Big City used to be then. And more neighbors bringing their d@mned city lights out here to our used-to-be rural lives.

Still, it's enjoyable to contemplate the cosmos.

Correction, Mimas is the innermost major moon. Saturn has some dinky little hunks closer in. Moonlets maybe they should be called.

251 250 I think the squad weapons are loaded by a CO, with one round each. If they rebel, it's better to discover their disloyalty sooner than later, isn't it?

I expect that Tina Kotex will be doing the exact same thing when her term winds to an end, either this year or in four years. Chances are she has the paperwork filled out and saved on her work computer right now.
