Holy fuck. Look at the website

This is overtly illegal.

I don't want to say outright CIVIL WAR when there is a good chance foreign actors are doing this too.

But Holy fuck @SecWar needs to stop this

Sides baked yesterday and reheated in microwave today - meh. Gravy made in crockpot clear loser. But everyone had a good time being together and that was the most important thing - especially this year. And at least now I have a viable plan for Christmas....

21 Good evening good people. I pray you all had a wonderful day. My wife and I hosted what I term dinner for "The lost and the lonely" for our neighborhood. Most everyone had a good time and no fist fights broke out.

Can confirm - hotel Thanksgiving was nice. Thanks much to Grateful for all the love and labor.

John Madden quote just heard on the football broadcast - the last line of a locker room pep speech when he was a coach. "Doesn't matter if the horse is blind, just load up the wagon and keep going." He had no idea what it meant but it fired up the players.

50 After hearing this cockroach worked for the CIA and knowing how corrupt it is, my theory is that the CIA is trying to contrive a situation where National Guard troops "open fire on civilians", thus setting up the President's next impeachment. And half the GOP would go along. That's how evil and corrupt I think the agency is.

76 For those that saw my post on the ONT last night... I have an happy update! We have an appointment for professionally detailing our car tomorrow morning at 9! So my husband will be able to Uber tomorrow night, after it dries, and salvage some earnings for the weekend.

Pro tip: if you booked an Uber, and are sober enough to realize you need to vomit or pee, PLEASE tell your driver! He will pull over. Otherwise, you soil his car, screwing up his week and costing him hundreds of dollars on one of the most lucrative Uber holidays of the year.

Could DJT order the mass cancellation of security clearances for all CIA employees? Cancel their clearance - they cannot work there, period. Send in some trusted military intelligence types to root through all their files. If some mook refuses to give up the password, put a gun to his head, and let him know his suicide is imminent unless he relents.

139 Speaking of Salisbury steak TV dinners, back when we were newly-married college students, struggling to make ends meet, we used to get Nighthawk "steak" dinners when we wanted to splurge. The ones with tater tots and (I think) applesauce.

Both of us were engineering students, so a LOT of our "spare" time was spent studying and doing homework. Oftentimes there wasn't enough time to prepare a meal, and the time saved in popping a pre-made dinner in the oven was worth it some days. And sometimes a TV dinner was cheaper than buying fr3sh food and preparing meals from scratch.

Of course, back then there weren't nearly as many fast food (or even budget restaurant) options as there are today. But there is no shame in eat8ng TV dinners. Some of the pre-made stuff you can pick up in the local groceries these days is really good!

The cool thing about Salisbury Steak is that it was originally medicinal in value. It was created by some Dr. around the US Civil War to treat injured soldiers.

179 I feel for some of those guys in the turkey disaster videos.

You’ve got to make sure the turkey is at room temperature before you deep fry them so leave them out for a few hours before hand..
Do not overfill the pot and keep the temp around 350 for a nice rolling boil.
Make sure it’s on the hook-stand really well.
Ease it in the pot slow & steady.

If you screw any of that up you’re in for a bad time.

It wasn’t violation.

It was relief.

“Thank God I’m not crazy. I have real enemies.”

The FBI file he later obtained proved it. The CIA had opened his mail. His neighbors recorded license plates of every visitor. The harassment was real.

The Machine was watching.

But that’s not what shattered his reality. That came three months earlier. When something else made contact. ... [much more]

The pot we used was pretty big (use it to cook collard greens in before the turkey) so we’d just fill it up half way. Even with a 10 or 12 pound turkey it never got high enough.

My Dad started deep frying them in the 90s when they were all the rage. Never screwed up with the oil but overcooked a few over that time.

He also did a few on the rotisserie which turned out wonderful.

There’s also an infrared turkey fryer we got that he used one time just so he wouldn’t have to buy all of the peanut oil to use one time. That came out ok, not as juicy as oil fried but still a good bird. Mom didn’t like it as much so he never used it again.

Pot pie comes from a miscommunication between German and English. The original term is "Bot boi". It's a German dish that came over with the Pa Dutch (Germans). Someone started calling it Pot Pie, and it stuck. But, it's a think chicken stew with homemade dough noodles, potatoes, etc.

These are big boys.

Real big boys.

Just a gal riding her horse like she's late to Pellanor Fields.

CAUTION! SEXUAL CONTENT WARNING! A male hedgehog tries to stick it to a female hedgehog, and that's not easy, on account of all the sticky bits. She's not making it easy for him. Her quills are all up. I know how that story goes.

A warm welcome from a cute cat.

A lynx's cub is caught in a trap, so she asks a human to help. Good thing she didn't ask the trapper.

One rainy spring day, when older bro & I were very little, we were in the car with Mom and Dad-- going to Grandma's out in the country, I suppose.

Anyway, clouds parted and there was a fine rainbow over the fields and we could see where it touched the ground! "Oh, wow! Daddy, let's go get the pot o' gold!"

Off we went, on our Quest For Gold. Dad turned down the muddy roads, this way and that, chasing the rainbow's end. Mom was excited, too, telling us how she would trick the leprechaun into looking away while we grabbed his big pot of gold.

Trivia I haven't bothered to check: The interracial kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols might have been the first on network TV *between black and white.* But there had been an earlier one, with an Asian woman and a white man -- and I believe it was France Nuyen and Robert Culp (whom she later married) a year or two before the Trek scene, on I Spy.

92 "In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."" - Linus

The far-left Nation magazine used the Thanksgiving holiday to recast the Pilgrims and Puritans as “radical Protestant doomsday groups” whose “cultish” ideology, it argues, “became the foundation of American culture,” urging Americans to treat the day as “as good a time as any to begin coming to terms with the country’s radical cultish origins.”

116 Okay, I looked it up. There was a kiss between an Asian woman and white man in a scene from the then-current Broadway play The World of Suzie Wong, shown on Ed Sullivan way back in 1958.

The I Spy episode was indeed with France Nuyen and Robert Culp, in 1966.

182 Koala Bears give Pandas a run for their money on lacking self-preservation instinct. All they eat is Eucalyptus leaves, which are almost non-existent in nutrition, but high in bran.

So as a result, Koalas will sleep over 20 hours at a time, and poop the other four hours. Reminds me of one of my college room mates.

Right. The supposed paradox is that Epimenides (a Cretan) claims "All Cretans are liars." If he's lying, then he's telling the truth and vice versa. It's only a paradox if liars are assumed to never tell the truth. Even so, it's easily resolved if a) at least one Cretan is not a liar and b) Epi is in fact lying.

203 Joe Kidd, I saw your post on last weeks prayer thread about the teen Jasmine, and I wanted to tell you about a therapy that is very effective for people who have experienced severe trauma.
It is called EMDR, and it is used with traditional talk therapy.
The therapists are specially trained, and you have to know to look or ask if they are certified in EMDR.
It is an amazing thing and is very effective.
There is a book about it -- "The Body Keeps the Score" that explains the therapy.
It really is life-changing, as I can attest personally.

They just don't get it, do they? The original Mustang was a very affordable car, around the $3000 mark, IIRC. You could be stylin' for about the same money as driving a plain-Jane four-door sedan. They built and sold six-cylinder Mustangs, too.

I suppose Ford would not license them the rights to the name, if they made it more affordable than their current Mustang offerings.

There are app 14 million green card holders in the USA according to USCIS.
Each green card is 10 years and then renewed, etc.
The last time I went to renew mine the cost was $475.
That hardly covers the cost of the biometrics, photo, staffing, etc.
imo, There is no way the gov can monitor/account for even the legal residents that don't bother to renew, let alone visitors, visa overstays, illegals.

I suggested earlier: offer a bounty, in the form of a green card, to muslims who rat out jihadis in their midst. With the understanding, that if they in turn, get credibly exposed as jihadi themselves, the green card goes away, and their passage to Shitcanistan is booked.

31 As of right now, the turkey has been cooked and eaten. Remainder of the turkey has the whole breast chunks and thigh separated and stored in different containers, sides put away in the fridge with the turkey containers, kitchen cleaned and an apple pie warming in the oven as we speak. The fam finished watching Downton Abbey - The Grand Finale, and I'm tucking into some time in the gray boxes until I start a small amount of work prep before Friday.

As a Christian, I love Christmas and Easter, but to be honest, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of all. Not overly patriotic or religious, so everyone can participate. People generally do the same thing all over the country, and an attitude of gratitude cuts across religious, cultural and political boundaries.

Also, my birthday is either Thanksgiving week or Thanksgiving Day, depending on the year. So yeah, this is my favorite holiday.

46 It was just my wife and me at home this year, but I still wanted to do something nice. So I cooked a 5 lb turkey breast and made a tikka Marsala curry sauce and jasmine rice to go with it. (We both like Indian food). Added some baked acorn squash with butter and cinnamon and a pecan pie to finish up, and it was quite nice.

57 Happy Thanksgiving, all! We're back from the suburban restaurant. We were right on time and were seated quickly. The corn bisque, turkey and mashed potatoes, and vegetables totaled up to more food than we could eat, and then the cheesecake came out and we couldn't eat more than a quarter of that. We boxed up the rest to take home, naturally.

The bill was $10 too high, and when I called attention to it, our waiter agreed and said he must have hit one button twice. He corrected it. $107 included his tip. Everybody was happy.

The furry thugs have had treats and dinner (and will get some of that turkey eventually). We're sitting here now as we usually do on a Thursday evening, with Auntie Mame on the TV and "Tin Man" upcoming on ST:TNG.

65 The odd thing is that I did not see the turkey drop episode of WKRP when it first aired. I was working a layover route for the courier company in Lafayette: I went to work at 5 pm, drove to New Orleans, slept over at the company-provided digs, and toted a new load of stuff back the next morning. Rinse and repeat until Friday morning, when I was off until 5 pm on Monday. (Got paid weekly, too, which was nice.)

The "Turkeys Away" episode aired on 10/30/78, which was a Monday. I'd have been at work.

On the AM radio in the courier vans, I could listen to Lafayette stations, Baton Rouge ones, and finally WTIX in NO. So I'm pretty much up on Top 40 of those years.

I miss making everyone a mash on Christmas when I had my boarding facility. It smelled so good with bran, apples, carrots, molasses, all the stuff. And the nickers! I knew it was because they wanted food, but I preferred pretending it was for me.

Of course the next morning was bucket scrubbing, but everyone deserved a good Christmas dinner.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Open Thread

I don't know if this video will work for you. It's only a matter of time before it's taken down due to copyright.

First, a little ambiance for you when you're cooking or eating:

Next, the actual special, if these clips haven't been taken down yet.

Here's a back-up post containing the special.

If neither of those work, here are some clips, at least.


Here's a clip of the actual dinner Charlie Brown and Snoopy put together. I think it's just popcorn and toast.

6 This little banner script is getting more and more complex, I added logic to detect if either shuf (linux) or gshuf (macOs) is present and to use the correct one to shuffle the phrases.

So to summarize, the script uses Figlet and lolcat to display a randomly selected phrase with a randomly selected figlet font, every time you open a terminal, you can turn it off and on by setting an environment variable, and it will automatically turn off if you are in tmux or the working directory is my coding directory.

Why'd I do this?

Don't know, just wanted to do a little shell scripting and one thing led to another.

But when I was in the Balkans in 2021, I routinely saw "turkey herders" along the side of the road in Albania and Montenegro. They'd have a large shepard's crook, a flock of birds, and they'd move their herd along the roadside, with the birds eating bugs and seeds, and occasionally someone driving on the road would pull over and buy one on the spot.

67 Penguins form their nests in holes in the ground, and generally lay one egg in each nest. The eggs are an excellent food.

A correspondent, writing from Tristan d’Acunha, in September, gives an account of his adventures in taking penguins’ eggs:

"Fancy what work, to stand amid hundreds of the birds, all screaming round you, so as almost to deafen you, tumbling them here and there, and picking up their eggs as fast as you can gather them! It is really amusing sport. I must remind you the kicking them over with soft moccasins does not hurt them in the least, and the next day they will have just as many eggs."

72 We have all seen in recent years how some billionaires have aligned themselves with elitist, left-wing causes (George Soros and Pierre Omidyar, immediately come to mind). There are a few tycoons, however, who prefer to keep a low profile, particularly with respect to their more controversial activities. One such individual is the shadowy Geetus L. Mazuma, known far and wide as the Frozen Pizza King.

An interesting and well-researched investigative report appeared the other day in the highly reliable Paco World News Daily (PWND), which exposed Mazuma’s role in providing substantial support to communist front organization Penguin Facts. For years, Mazuma has been attempting to corner the market on anchovies, and the eradication of penguins, his main rival in the harvesting of this fish, is a goal which Penguin Facts is assisting him in reaching. So, ironically, the comrades at Penguin Facts are serving as the running dogs of Mazuma’s peculiar form of capitalism. As the saying goes, “follow the money”.

Ironically I think it was the WoT that pushed the CIA into becoming a completely anti-American org. Not that there weren't issues before then but you can find clear examples of them acting on America's behalf.

But during the WoT the left decided that trying to win the war was rayciss and wrong and instead America needed to lose. And one of the more important orgs to do that was the CIA...

And the funny part of all this, very few people would have believed in 2001 that the US could lose a war to a bunch of goatf*ckers and yet here we are.

Here's my veto on Ukraine joining NATO: they ain't ready and might not be for the next 200 years. I'd tell Russia "Ukraine in NATO? As if!" Sorry, but it is hopelessly corrupt and is a frigging mess.

136 It was Charlie's fault for getting murdered because he opposed Democrat policies. Charlie crossed the Democrats' imaginary, arbitrary Maginot Line and Charlie put himself in the line of fire.


See, he was "spreading hate". And you are not just allowed but encouraged to murder people spreading hate.

Note - telling people to go on murder sprees though is NOT hate. Well, as long as you are targeting the correct victims apparently.

148 Ironically I think it was the WoT that pushed the CIA into becoming a completely anti-American org. Not that there weren't issues before then but you can find clear examples of them acting on America's behalf.

But during the WoT the left decided that trying to win the war was rayciss and wrong and instead America needed to lose. And one of the more important orgs to do that was the CIA...

And the funny part of all this, very few people would have believed in 2001 that the US could lose a war to a bunch of goatf*ckers and yet here we are.

We've gone from we have to fight them over there to we have to bring them here and give them welfare because uh...diversity.

The Church Committee listed a number of things including CIA spying on political opponents and Mockingbird which was the genesis for partnering with the media to build narratives and hide uncomfortable stories.

But nothing really got fixed. A few wrist slaps and they were back in business. It's also when the CIA increased their outsourcing to USAID. And here we are with USAID funding terrorists to come and kill Americans.

In the first couple of weeks after that shooting there was a hotel security guard that was bragging that he was the first one up to that door after the shooting started, and that he had seen all kinds of things. He was negotiating with media companies as to who he was going to give his exclusive story to.
Two weeks after the shooting, he took a trip to Mexico, supposedly to visit family.

The important point, however, is that a friend said that a spatchcocked turkey reminded him of most establishment Republicans, which I thought was spot on.

I have watched NFL RedZone since its inception. Prior to this year, it was 100% commercial free football. It ruined me for watching any football, NFL or college, in real time. The commercials are ridiculous.

Change possession, commercial. Score, commercial. Come back for kickoff and possession change, then go to commercial. Any timeout, commercial. It's even worse than it used to be because most commercials are annoyingly woke and stupid now as well.

This is the only time I'll watch live football. It's been NFL Redzone or watch DVR'd games and FF through commercials for me for at least the past decade.

169 Just finished dinner - putting turkey carcass in freezer b/c there's just no room for broth in my fridge.

Only 2 tupperware containers of turkey left (so one more dinner). I should have made another 5lbs if turkey if I knew my boys (and our bachelor guest) where gonna get 4th and 5ths of it. I do have enough sides for 2 meals, so there's that.

One year, I should literally just make turkey, homemade gravy, and cran sauce (which is also almost gone - it was my favorite thing I made). Make 30 lbs of turkey and probably still have the 7 folks happy...

Thank you Amazon for having the 20lber so cheap. Small one is still in my freezer for a different time.

Dangerous, I know.

But I think about Ozempic and weight loss etc and I think, ya know, the body does have a preference on where to store fat, right? It's not the same preference, it changes with each individual. So Sons bodies prefer here, others there.

Then I think know women.

Some women have bodies that prefer storing fat in the middle, some in the ass, some in the...

Then I think, instead of a weight "loss" drug how about a drug that prompts a woman's body to shift fat storage into her boobs? Probably wouldn't be difficult. Instead of trying to flip a switch off or on, which sounds like it carries many risks, it's a simple redirect. Plus it kills two birds with one stone. Slimmer women with bigger boobah.

62 For those that saw my Uber misadventures post last night on the ONT, I have an update... we have a car detailing appointment tomorrow morning at 9! So my hubby might be able to salvage some of his planned income for the weekend. He'll be able to get the Fri/Sat eve shifts at least! Giving thanks for that.

For those that missed it:
Husband should have been able to Uber all last night; Thanksgiving Eve does really good business. He had planned to bag $400-500 for the night, working until 4 am.

He'd only netted $100 so far when a drunk lady in her 40s got in his car. She proceeded to throw up on the outside and inside of our car. And peed in the back passenger seat. And she didn't say anything! He very randomly found out.

He took pics and reported it to Uber. She'll have an $80 fine added to her tab. Hubby needs to get it professionally detailed, but of course nothing is open on Thanksgiving, even the 24 hour places. So probably earliest can get it detailed is Friday. That's another night of business lost.

So frustrating! He's too mad to sleep. This is the second time someone's thrown up in the car and ruined his night. We really need to invest in waterproof seat covers methinks!

79 Hard for me to even pay attention any more to politics tea leaf reading. Its obvious we simply aren't being told anything any more beyond attempts to affect public opinions. Example today. Trump issued a statement about the Guard shooting where Biden was to blame for bringing in unvetted Afghans..apparently the shooter was in an "elite" Afghan commando group that worked with the Army and CIA, so they KNEW who he was when they brought him here and shortly after he was taken. I am sure Trump was told this. Absolutely no truth released to the public any more.

Don't know about roasting root vegetables like turnips and parsnips. Try peeling and slicing parsnips, simmering for 10 min, adding twice the amount of sliced carrots, covering and simmering until all are tender, liquid is almost gone and parsnips are falling apart. Add salt, butter and pepper and stir. You will have carrots coated with parsnip fluff.

Eat turnips raw. Especially the little sweet spring turnips.

Rush Limbaugh's Thanksgiving Day Story

Via amuse's substack, Rush Limbaugh had written about the first Thanksgiving in one of his books and sometimes read the passage aloud before the holiday.

This, dear reader, is the real story of Thanksgiving. It wasn't just a meal shared with Native Americans--though they did indeed feast together, celebrating the bounty of their harvest. No, the true reason for giving thanks was far greater: the Pilgrims gave thanks to God for guiding them to the principles that allowed them to survive and then thrive--the principles of hard work, private property, and individual liberty. It wasn't socialism that saved them; it was capitalism. It was the power of personal responsibility and the freedom to reap the fruits of one's own labor that turned near-starvation into abundance.

Below, two clips of Limbaugh talking about this. The first clip is shorter -- about eight minutes -- and the second clip is longer -- about 33 minutes. Your choice!

The latter clip is the last time Rush addressed this before he died.

Even if you invested in something as pedestrian as Microsoft in say 2012, your 1k would be 17k today.

People like to say the stock market is gambling, it's a better bet than Las Vegas or Mega Millions.

No mystery. He packed the board with his sycophantic butt buddies and stabbed in the back anyone who could challenge him.

Although he did briefly retire, but same as above, he stabbed his replacement in the back with the help of his sycophantic butt buddies.

21 The true story of 1st European Thanksgiving from my pastor..."It is true that the Pilgrims
shared a meal of thanksgiving with the Native
Americans/Indians. However, it was not the first thanksgiving by Europeans to occur in the New World.
If you ever visit St. Augustine, Florida (the oldest inhabited city in the United States), you will find a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of La Leche outside the city near the coast...The place
commemorates the spot where the Spanish explorers/settlers landed after arriving at the bay on August 28, 1565, the feast of St. Augustine. Soon after landfall, the Spanish, who had brought a priest with them, celebrated a Mass of
Thanksgiving. They later enjoyed a meal of thanksgiving
with the local Native Americans."

80 This year, God has bestowed abundant blessings all across our land and indeed the entire world. As we give thanks to Him, we continue to advance our Nation through strong leadership and commonsense policy. As a result, the American economy is roaring back, we are making progress on lowering the cost of living, a new era of peace is sweeping around the world, our sovereignty is being swiftly restored, and the American spirit is coming back greater and more powerful than ever before.

As we prepare to celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, this Thanksgiving, we summon the faith, resolve, and unflinching fortitude of the giants of American history who came before us. We vow to build a future that echoes their sacrifice. Above all, we offer our endless gratitude to Almighty God for His love, grace, and infinite blessings.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 27, 2025, as a National Day of Thanksgiving.

Neighbor was SF guy. He noted that every single one were psychopathic killers who used to work for the former regime. We just paid them better, for now. He was even candid and told them if they switched sides he'd have problem killing them too.

93 So I'm sitting here and I'm thinking...


Dangerous, I know.

But I think about Ozempic and weight loss etc and I think, ya know, the body does have a preference on where to store fat, right? It's not the same preference, it changes with each individual. So Sons bodies prefer here, others there.

Then I think know women.

Some women have bodies that prefer storing fat in the middle, some in the ass, some in the...

Then I think, instead of a weight "loss" drug how about a drug that prompts a woman's body to shift fat storage into her boobs? Probably wouldn't be difficult. Instead of trying to flip a switch off or on, which sounds like it carries many risks, it's a simple redirect. Plus it kills two birds with one stone. Slimmer women with bigger boobah.

94 This little banner script is getting more and more complex, I added logic to detect if either shuf (linux) or gshuf (macOs) is present and to use the correct one to shuffle the phrases.

So to summarize, the script uses Figlet and lolcat to display a randomly selected phrase with a randomly selected figlet font, every time you open a terminal, you can turn it off and on by setting an environment variable, and it will automatically turn off if you are in tmux or the working directory is my coding directory.

Why'd I do this?

Don't know, just wanted to do a little shell scripting and one thing led to another.

Trump Blasts Biden For Allowing In Unvetted Afghan Terrorists, Orders a Vetting of Biden's Afghans

I don't like posting this sort of stuff on Thanksgiving, but I missed the story yesterday, as I was out for a big chunk of the late afternoon.

After this, I'll just post Thanksgiving-themed open threads.

I know JJ covered this. I'll just re-cover it.

The left had the predictable response to one of Biden's unvetted Afghan terrorists being let through the open border. You'll never see this coming -- it was Trump's fault, for posting National Guardsmen in DC.

Trump forced Biden's terrorist to shoot wo brand-new Guardsmen, you see. He provoked the terrorist by providing law and order.

[I]nstead of directing outrage toward the assailant, prominent progressive voices turned their fire on Trump -- claiming the Guardsmen were in harm's way only because the administration sent them into the city.

New Yorker writer Jane Mayer insisted the troops "never should have been deployed," claiming she had watched them "pick up trash" and suggesting their presence was merely "for political show." Progressive YouTuber Keith Edwards went further, accusing Trump of an "illegal deployment" and asserting that the Guardsmen "would be fine" were it not for the president's decision to reinforce the capital.

Others leaned into the same narrative. Liberal commentator Wajahat Ali declared the National Guard "should never have been deployed in Washington, DC," while additional activists claimed Trump would now "twist this tragedy" into justification for strengthening law-and-order measures nationwide.

The presence of the two young. fresh-from-bootcamp Guardsmen provoked the Cultural Enrichment Officer, you see. Didn't you know that. racists?

The two West Virginia National Guard members critically wounded in Wednesday's ambush near the Farragut West Metro Station have now been identified as Andrew Wolfe and Sarah Beckstrom -- young soldiers who had taken their oaths less than a day before gunfire erupted on a downtown Washington sidewalk.

Wolfe, 22, was identified first after Musselman High School in Inwood released a statement confirming the alumnus was one of the soldiers struck. The school said the community was "deeply saddened" and urged residents to pray for him. Wolfe was rushed into surgery and remains in critical condition.

Trump blamed the shambling corpse Biden and his maniacal determination to import all of the criminals, rapists, and terrorists of the Third World into the US to punish us for having succeeded while the Third World failed.

In an address to the nation Wednesday, President Trump blamed Joe Biden's Afghan parole program for the brutal ambush of two National Guard soldiers in downtown Washington, saying the shooting was a direct result of the previous administration's decision to fly tens of thousands of unvetted evacuees into the country.

Trump said DHS officials had already told him the suspect taken into custody was an Afghan national who arrived during Biden's chaotic 2021 withdrawal. "He was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021 on those infamous flights everybody remembers," Trump said from Palm Beach. He called Afghanistan "a hellhole on Earth" and said Biden "extended this man's status under legislation he signed -- a disastrous president, the worst in the history of our country."

Trump said the attack "shows the single greatest national security threat facing our nation," arguing that Biden's policies brought in "20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners" without regard for the consequences. He pledged to re-examine every Afghan brought in under Biden and remove anyone who has no legal right to be in the country. "If they can't love our country, we don't want them," he said.

Law-enforcement sources said the suspect -- 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal -- arrived under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden-era resettlement program that made roughly 90,000 Afghans eligible for special visas and placed many of them in cities nationwide. Lakanwal was sent to Bellingham, Washington, one of the designated hubs for Afghan refugees. About 800 were resettled statewide in 2022, according to the Immigrant & Refugee Health Alliance.

Sources say Lakanwal overstayed his visa and was in the country illegally when he allegedly staged Wednesday's attack.


Round 'em up, take their fingerprints and photos, and ship them out.

I'm not sure this is a completely fair attack, but I'm more sure that I don't care if it's fair or not.

People are accusing seditious Senator Mark Kelly of having provoked the shooting, by telling soldiers they have a duty to resist the duly-elected Commander in Chief.

And that presumably includes foreign soldiers.


"You've got blood on your hands": Mark Kelly ripped for reaction to D.C. Guard shooting


...

Critics pointed out that Kelly's remarks came less than two weeks after he, Rep. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal rolled out a video and legislative package aimed at blocking Trump's authority to deploy the National Guard. The group's "No Troops in Our Streets Act," announced November 13, was framed as an effort to constrain the administration's ability to send Guard units into troubled areas--while the accompanying public messaging warned service members about following what Democrats described as "unlawful" orders.

He ginned up hatred against the National Guardsmen, just like they ginned up hatred against ICE and Border Patrol -- and then attacks went up on our border personnel by over 1000%.

They knew the same would happen with the Guard, and they either didn't care, or actively hoped their left-wing allies would "step up" their "resistance."


That tone has been simmering for days, and Wednesday's shooting poured gasoline on the fire. "Democrats and liberal pundits have been claiming Trump's deployment order is illegal since they were deployed," commentator Tim Pool posted. "Then y'all went out and said, 'You must defy illegal orders.' These Guardsmen were targeted." Kenny Cody, opinion editor at Human Events, was even more blunt: "You told people to disobey the President. You've got blood on your hands, Mark."

Trump has responded by ordering an additional 500 Guardsmen to back up the police in DC.


Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are all safe and warm and hungry.

-So will he "reexamine" just those from Afghanistan that Biden let in, or all of them? I guess it would be hard to do them all, but the ones from many other countries are just as bad.

- Does this include people given green cards? visas? Who? Many sat before a judge and got legal status.

Personally, I think
- first, criminal illegal aliens
- then all illegal aliens
- then those given visa or legal status who broke any laws
- then those given legal status who used *any* form of welfare
- then those given legal status who support anti-American ideas or values. (you know who they are.)

Then we can work on the naturalized and natural born children of illegals.

I wonder just what the "rules of engagement" are for the NG in D.C. D.C, being federal, is different. The Insurrection Act would have to be invoked, one way or the other, for the NG to start "engaging" directly as LEO.

But, with D.C. it's federal to begin with, and technically, POTUS is like the governor, with the feds having the state-like police powers. Of course, with the Home Rule crap, that's delegated out to the local through the mayor and all that.

So, I expect even here, the NG can't "engage" directly, unless they are engaged upon.

This is why I try to remain patient and give Trump and his team some slack. The forces allied against us have been building for decades and they are burrowed in the bureaucracy like ticks.

And given how much time Benz spends at Mar A Lago and with various members of Trump's team I know they know a hell of a lot more than I do.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Thanksgiving Chimp.jpg

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to ‘clean up’ the bird’s vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes, the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he’d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’s outstretched arms and said “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I’m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.”

John was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, “May I ask what the turkey did?”

25 The True Story of Thanksgiving

Rush Limbaugh: https://bit.ly/4riGcst

William Bradford, the governor of the Pilgrim community, saw that none of this was working. The Mayflower Compact was not working. Giving everybody a single share of stock in the common store, in the common bank was not working. Collectivism. It was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as it is and has been to anybody who has ever tried it.

So Bradford decided to scrub it. He threw it out and took bold action. He assigned a plot of land to each family. Every family was given a plot of land. They could work it, manage it however they wanted to. If they just wanted to sit on it, get fat, dumb, happy, and lazy, they could. If they wanted to develop it, if they wanted to grow corn, whatever on it, they could. If they wanted to build on it, they could do that. If they wanted to turn it into a quasi-business, they could do whatever they wanted to do with it.

He turned loose the power of the capitalist marketplace.

The spike in searches of this person’s name in the hours before the attack means the people who knew this was going to happen were searching to see if he had completed his task.

A known CIA asset who was a trained member of a covert unit of assassins.

Make no mistake, whether he came to the US on an SIV visa or humanitarian parole, he has a sponsor (handler) & a detailed dossier. They know exactly who he is - the question is who was he working for on this operation?

49 Mrs Cop and I are thankful for our great son-in-law and two grandsons. We had a water line inside our kitchen faucet develop a sudden failure, and had a few gallons of water released into the sink cabinet and go out onto the floor of family room.

Our son-in-law and his boys came over and helped clean-up the mess. Mrs Cop decided it was time for a new faucet (gotta make lemonade out of lemons!), and our son-in-law installed the new faucet.

Lara Logan @laralogan

The spike in searches of this person’s name in the hours before the attack means the people who knew this was going to happen were searching to see if he had completed his task.

A known CIA asset who was a trained member of a covert unit of assassins.

Make no mistake, whether he came to the US on an SIV visa or humanitarian parole, he has a sponsor (handler) & a detailed dossier. They know exactly who he is - the question is who was he working for on this operation?

60 Some factual facts (not to be confused with the fictional facts that I usually post)

The Mayflower Compact was the result of landing in the wrong spot. The Pilgrims had a charter for land further south, but navigating to that area after already pretty much harboring in Plymouth would have been too much of a hassle. Some of the Pilgrims were heard to be saying that because they were outside the charter area, they were not bound to live by the rules within it. The leaders of the group decided it would be a good idea to gather everybody together and get a formal agreement of how things woukd run tonprevent anarchy before actually landing onshore. They then sent somebody back get a charter for their actual location.

Oliver Stone is a few bubbles off center but he did make one really good documentary on the color revolution that the CIA ran in Ukraine. Didn't kill many people there either but enough to destabilize the elected government, start a civil war and overthrow the country.

69 Via Parkersburg, WV News & Sentinel newspaper:

The 29-year-old suspect, an Afghan national, entered the U.S. in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program that evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal from the country, officials said.
The initiative brought roughly 76,000 people to the U.S., many of whom had worked alongside U.S. troops and diplomats as interpreters and translators. It has since faced intense scrutiny from Trump and his allies, congressional Republicans and some government watchdogs over gaps in the vetting process and the speed of admissions, even as advocates say it offered a lifeline to people at risk of Taliban reprisals.

Breaking! At least five of the seditious six were recruited and trained for office by “New Politics”. Maybe even all six! (Jason Crow and SIX other Congress members are involved in recruitment.)

“New Politics is a purpose-built political talent agency and campaign accelerator that recruits, trains, and develops leaders with service backgrounds to transform our politics.”

They even recruit from
Intelligence agencies too.

Not even two months before the Military Coup narrative was started, (I’ll explain later) New Politics got a sudden infusion of twenty million dollars! More money than they’ve seen in eight years of operations! Where did this come from?

Democrats' brains are so clogged with propaganda that they cannot grasp the basic logic of how the Sedition 6's inflammatory rhetoric could lead to US soldiers being murdered, so let me break down the obvious logic trail for the midwits:

1. The Sedition 6 implied that the things Trump ordered were unlawful orders.

2. Thus, any soldier doing his or her job as instructed by Trump and the chain of command was carrying out unlawful orders -- a war crime.

3. A shooter would therefore believe he was justified in shooting war criminals.

It's pretty easy to understand for those with functioning brains.

140 60 Some factual facts (not to be confused with the fictional facts that I usually post)

The Mayflower Compact was the result of landing in the wrong spot. The Pilgrims had a charter for land further south, but navigating to that area after already pretty much harboring in Plymouth would have been too much of a hassle. Some of the Pilgrims were heard to be saying that because they were outside the charter area, they were not bound to live by the rules within it. The leaders of the group decided it would be a good idea to gather everybody together and get a formal agreement of how things woukd run tonprevent anarchy before actually landing onshore. They then sent somebody back get a charter for their actual location.

BREAKING: It's been revealed that a nonprofit linked to George Soros is fomenting sedition within the military around the same time a "script" went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion within the ranks against President Trump.

There are also links to ANTIFA.

On November 11th - just days before the video - the National Lawyers Guild published a page urging service members to refuse "illegal" orders.

The same talking point in the video.

Win Without War has put up a billboard in NC urging chaos and dissent within the ranks, a group linked to a 501(c)(4) backed by Soros' Open Society. The group was previously named New Security Action.

As per @DataRepublican, Win Without War is partnered with the National Lawyers Guild.

A cop, think it was in LA, survived a direct 357 shot to the heart and she still killed the sob that shot her.

Terminal ballistics is a weird macabre field where bullet placement, bullet design/wt, and velocity along with differences in human anatomy interplay with each other.

One LEO in NM was killed despite wearing a bulletproof vest by an 45-70 slug to the chest. The slug had enough energy despite not penetrating the vest to cause a heart full of blood at that exact instant of bullet strike cause a spike in blood pressure that killed the poor LEO by an aneurism.

So Soros nonprofits are trying to sabotage the U.S. military in conjunction with high-ranking federal officials, in the middle of important conflicts and pressure campaigns - and just presented it as "patriotic veterans and Congress want you to stand up to Orange Man for your Country."

Posted by: Johnny the Shoeshine Guy
=====
9mm is not a good round for snubbie revolvers due to the tendency in light weight snubbies to literally pull the bullets in the cylinders out of a taper crimp. Revolver rounds use roll crimps for a reason. And yes, you can shoot 38+p or 38 in a 357. Most of the convertible cylinder revolvers in 357 are actually single action due to ease of conversion.

But over time, what happens is you have to literally scrape the cylinder ends to remove fouling if you do it enough--lead bullets produce the most fouling--sometimes enough to cause pressure spikes or prevent bullet seating for 357s over time.

Best to simply buy a 38+p rated revolver in the first place. They are usually a bit lighter and cheaper due to the much lower pressures of a 38+p.

Reloaders, of course, have a choice. 357 Magnum brass is easily reloaded to 38+p, 38 spc, or even 38+p+ levels without the fouling problem mentioned above.

Anytime you have a sights on a firearm, you need to recheck for zero if you change bullet wt, velocity, or pressure.

Sadge.

My mind is wandering but it's funny how the word "penal" shares a root with...a certain other word. It's as if "penalized" almost literally means "to get fucked in the ass."

214 Don't know if this was covered in the Morning Report or comments, as I just got here.

Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, born May 10, 1914, in Comanche, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the remarkable age of 111. At the age of 7, Mother Viola survived the Tulsa Race Massacre. …the oldest living survivor.

Didn't know they'd replaced "riot" with "massacre," but it is, alas, more descriptive.

218 Ref. Pilgrim monkey. “I believe our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. I believe that whenever a human being, of even the highest intelligence and culture, delivers an opinion upon a matter apart from his particular and especial line of interest, training and experience, it will always be an opinion of so foolish and so valueless a sort that it can be depended upon to suggest our Heavenly Father that the human being is another disappointment and that he is no considerable improvement upon the monkey.” Mark Twain

219 Yes, the Pilgrims hunted for some of their Thanks giving dinner. According to a letter by pilgrim Edward Winslow, the colony’s governor sent four men to go “fowling,” that is, to hunt for birds, in the days prior to the celebration. It is believed that the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people who celebrated with them hunted and served wild fowl, like geese, duck, or turkey.

Fun fact: My very first hunting kill was a wild turkey. I was eight at the time. We had him for Christmas dinner and he was a LOT better than the domestic variety.

No turkey this year. Game hen instead. And funny enough, every single item that has to go in the oven for today's dinner bakes at 350 degrees, making dinner prep infinitely easier.

Thanks for NOT using the standard Norman Rockwell painting. As they said in vaudeville, "That's been done."

I'm not the biggest fan of Impressionist art but this one does capture the relaxed nature of keeping track of the turkeys. A lot easier that baling hay or digging. I do like the way the varied colors blend in the grass. It's a pleasant scene.

We will shortly be off to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Indians at the local tribal casino's buffet. Normally there'd be the usual feed with lots of lovely leftovers and wonderful soup made from the turkey carcass, but in seven days the DH and I will be going into a medical weight mgmt program and will be eating nothing but proteins shakes, bars, and soup for the next 16 weeks.

Two flocks have taken up residence in our neighborhood, no doubt because hunting is forbidden (not unreasonable given the density), and they show little interesting people, just doing their thing.

What's funny is that when you approach them, they will all become alert, and then use the side eye to watch you, which gives the impression that they refused to make eye contact and are pointedly ignoring you. Very funny when they all do it.

Interesting point. Everything can go wrong but it's not going away. (For example an article in NIH, National Library of Medicine, 'An Overview of Chatbot-Based Mobile Mental Health Apps: Insights From App Description and User Reviews')

Now we're forced to acknowledge what C19 intentionally created, how much of the funding was pissed through (or hidden) thereafter, and how they need those C19 funding boosts in "affordable care" to be sustained for years to cover who/what gets the $$.

Every time the huge extension of C19 Medicare/Medicaid funding comes up in Congress, some local mother drags her daughter onto camera and claims the poor kid would be suicidal without online therapy and/or AI chatbots. That's followed by several 20 somethings, reportedly unable to function without such online therapy.

I think they arrogantly assumed that they could assimilate them quickly, because they would be so friendly, and their prosperity and order would be intoxicating.

They did not expect and do not understand that these people are actual barbarians, and that such people did exist and still do exist.

And rather than admit they were wrong, they just punish everyone who points it out.

So, when I see Turkey Girl, I expect it to be followed by a tagline: "She's a turkey. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve." I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved that she's just a turkey minder.

The Morning Report — 11/27/25

Tanks2025.jpg

Good morning kids. And of course Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you all. The big story this morning was the gunning down of National Guardsmen in the nation's capital yesterday.

One of the two West Virginia National Guard members shot in a violent ambush on Wednesday afternoon has been identified as Andrew Wolfe, according to his former high school. “Our Applemen community is deeply saddened to learn that Musselman High School alumnus, Andrew Wolfe, was one of the National Guardsmen injured in the shooting in Washington, D.C. today,” Musselman High School in West Virginia posted on Facebook. Wolfe is currently undergoing surgery and is in critical condition after Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, allegedly opened fire on him and a female National Guard member near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC in what’s being probed as a possible terrorist attack.

The evil bastard Democrats have more innocent blood on their hands. This is yet one more act of barbarism that they and they alone are responsible for. Until my last breath, all the pain, suffering dislocation and wastage of life, money and human potential that has laid us low for over 200 years is directly the fault of Democrat Leftist policy, corruption and criminality in their ongoing and never ending lust for absolute power.

Just like the victims of the Islamikaze suicide bombers in Kabul 5 years ago these deaths are directly the fault of Joe Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden and whoever auto penned his signature authorizing the US military to just drop everything and bug out of Afghanistan.

In September 2021, then U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance warned that Joe Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal and reckless refugee resettlement would “create an opportunity for terrorists.” He blasted the administration for flooding America with “thousands of unvetted people,” a failure he said put Americans at risk. As the nation’s newly sworn vice president in January 2025, Vance doubled down on the warning, telling CBS, “We know that there are cases of people who allegedly were property vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks in our country.”
. . . The idea that these people are vetted is a lie, and we need to call out that lie. Now, if we do that of course, what they [leftists] say is “the reason you don’t want these Afghans in your community is because you are a racist.” Well, that’s not true. I don’t care about the color of their skin. Here’s what I care about — that according to Pew Research, 40 percent of people who live in Afghanistan believe that suicide bombings are an acceptable way to solve a problem. Are we allowed to say that I don’t want 100,000 people unvetted from a country where nearly half the people think suicide bombing is an OK way to solve a problem? Because I don’t want that. Shortly after being sworn in as vice president in January, Vance squared off against CBS Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan, who claimed, “These people are vetted!” Vice President Vance responded sharply, saying, “Just like the guy who planned a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago?”


Of course the Democrat Left Media complex are in overdrive blaming, Guess Who?!

Critics are lambasting MS NOW correspondent Ken Dilanian for seemingly suggesting the suspect who critically injured two National Guardsmen near the White House was reacting to “controversy” surrounding uniformed Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in American cities.

Dilanian, a justice and intelligence correspondent for the network, pitched his two cents on the devastating shooting while on-air Wednesday afternoon.

“[O]f course, you know, there’s so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ICE, who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks. And so there’s, you don’t know, people walking around with uniforms in an American city. There are some Americans that might object to that. And so apparently this shooting has happened,” he said during an MS NOW breaking news report.

The shooting, which law enforcement officials said was a targeted “ambush,” critically wounded two National Guardsmen, including one who was believed to be shot in the head.

Ken Dilletantian went on to blame the Jews for all the carbon emissions over the crematoria at Auschwitz during World War 2 for being a major cause of global warming.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I am so very thankful for all of you who come here every morning, as well as your prayers and good wishes for me and the spouse during a very difficult time as we now both battle some health issues. I'm fine but she's suffering.

GOd bless and keep you all!

18 I had a moment of awe this morning thinking of the enduring forbearance of the conservative movement in the face of the assaults, predations and murderous crimes waged against it by the Left. The long persecution of Trump including two assassination attempts, the murder of Charlie Kirk, the slaughter of little children at Christian schools, the FBI and DOJ's jihad against conservative parents, the limitless slanders of the media, the ruined lives of the J6ers -- and still no riots, no violent retaliations, nothing. Meanwhile, when a dirt-bag serial criminal is killed by a cop, the Left burns down cities. Nevermind their daily outbreaks of violence over manufactured narratives.

Is our forbearance weakness or strength?

35 “Socialism is commonly defined as ‘a social and economic system that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources.’

When phrased that way, the 42% doesn't bother me. I would guess that emotional "thinkers" would view public roads, schools, housing, transportation, infrastructure, hospitals - things that they interact with daily and at a commodity level, things that are usually perceived as "free" to them because it is subsidized or part of Section Ape, SNAP, etc. could not possibly let their minds wander to pure Libertarianism where the road in front of your house is private and tolled.

Those with substantial assets or equity positions in things would be shocked and horrified that the long hours of work, the years of delayed gratification were to be stolen from them and given to the local junkie a/o illegal alien.

49 Gratitude. The healthiest emotion.

The opposite of coveting and theft. The whole point and purpose of the Welfare State is to anonymize origin of gifts so that gratitude is either directed at an amorphous blob or isn't possible.

Without gratitude, things become entitlements.

One of the best things that I added to my life years ago, was getting up at dark-thirty to go for a 2+ mile walk where I would spend most of the time being openly grateful, enumerating everything from salvation, health, job, family, relative peace and security, etc.

Imagine if whatever you didn't specifically name in the things that you are grateful for, those things were taken from you, how long that list will be each morning.

We are blessed people, yet we don't deserve it.

Well, vigilantes. Which we will be informed is just horrible, “taking the law into your own hands”. I’m not sure what the more benighted members of the leftist insurgency expected. When the rule of law breaks down, every crime no matter how minor is a capital offense.

Know your history. Organized police forces are just a recent blip in the timeline. Most of human history was not a system setup for the rights of the accused, a presumption of innocence, or three hots and a cot and an attorney. You could say those are “luxury beliefs” for an affluent society. In an effluent society, all that goes out the window.

My mother-in-law wouldn't do that. Dinner wasn't until 4:00 pm. I hated that.

159 There was a huge push in and around the Afghan withdrawal by our military and particularly the special forces community to evac our "allies" and those who helped us during the conflict, because it was feared that the Taliban would round them all up and shoot them. Multiple episodes of Shawn Ryan podcast about this.

If this reporting is accurate, this guy fits that bill completely, so in that regard he probably was vetted, and not just some random guy, and not the classic "terrorist." It will be very interesting to learn how he got here, and who helped him.

Not a fan of the green bean casserole.

Med heat for about 12-15 minutes until perfectly tender, but not mushy.

Add toasted sliced almonds if you like it that way, after you've transferred them to the serving dish.

174 Thousands of Afghans were brought to the US after the disastrous bugout under *biden's watch. We were told they were "families" who had someone working with the US while we were over there. It for their safety.

That's a lie.

Many of the Afghans brought over here were single, military aged men who were playing both sides against each other and turned to the US to help them get out of a situation that would likely result in their own death.

They're not here to integrate with society. Whether the Intel Community is still "running" some of them is debatable, but I find it more than likely they are.

Rush Limbaugh: https://bit.ly/4riGcst

William Bradford, the governor of the Pilgrim community, saw that none of this was working. The Mayflower Compact was not working. Giving everybody a single share of stock in the common store, in the common bank was not working. Collectivism. It was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as it is and has been to anybody who has ever tried it.

So Bradford decided to scrub it. He threw it out and took bold action. He assigned a plot of land to each family. Every family was given a plot of land. They could work it, manage it however they wanted to. If they just wanted to sit on it, get fat, dumb, happy, and lazy, they could. If they wanted to develop it, if they wanted to grow corn, whatever on it, they could. If they wanted to build on it, they could do that. If they wanted to turn it into a quasi-business, they could do whatever they wanted to do with it.

He turned loose the power of the capitalist marketplace.

228 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Would be assassin, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, who may or may not have worked with the CIA in Afghanistan for several years before being brought to the US in 2021 under one of Biden's Humanitarian Parole schemes, a TPS plus?

>France 24, 'National Guard shooting suspect served alongside US army in Afghanistan: US media'

Saw a questionable "source" which wrote he served alongside U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan for 10 years prior to his arrival, 'reportedly.' If true, he would have been quite young - a teen of +/-14 - when recruited, not necessarily stable before or after.

Also, don't forget there were all-volunteer groups of U.S. veterans, some notably referred to as "Task Force Pineapple," who conducted unofficial missions back then (2021) to help evacuate 'critically at-risk Afghans, including elite forces and their families' & bring them into the US.

Reportedly, those veterans often 'vouched' for those transported & their entry. Was their 'vetting' conducted and approved to bring individuals and families into the US, and were those individuals and families also placed automatically on slow Joe's "Humanitarian Parole?"

229 >6 hours ago, Times of India, YouTube, CIA CONNECTION OUT! Afghan Who Shot National Guard Tied To U.S Intel, Spl Forces; Ratcliff Bombshell

🤷‍♀️ Always interesting.

Anyway, I'd bet $ it's another big convoluted mess of poor or not vetting for entry into the US & lack of F/U of the entrants.

Each and everyone needs to be revetted or sent home quickly. (Btw, so many babies were born immediately after the airlift and beginning settlement in the US, it was ridiculous. And "daddy" hadn't been brought into the US yet or ever. Think about this mess alone.)

So Trump is again the BIG, unreasonable meanie because - BBC 'US suspends immigration requests for Afghans after National Guard shooting' 3 hours ago

No, vet ALL arriving from that nation and/or through EU or other countries from at least 2021. With few exceptions, all under Humanitarian Parole were to be out or leaving the US under the Biden administration.

Also, redo the vetting for each & every Ukrainian under Biden's special Humanitarian Parole program and get ready to boot many. Do not think for one minute they're not part of the press in this country constantly driving the goodness of Zelenskyy etal.

'Zelenskyy faces the biggest corruption scandal of his presidency'

A must read.

This scandal involves energy and infrastructure contracts.

In part, "On November 10, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) exposed an alleged $110 million corruption scheme at state-owned nuclear company Energoatom. The charges are supported by a fifteen-month wiretap and over seventy searches carried out as part of a major investigation called Operation Midas."

Again & again & again, scandal, missing funds, etc. and a Netflix President. Enough of this, too. End the Humanitarian Parole; end the country's young fighting age men hiding in this country and others, and end involvement with, and interference in, "honest" journalism in the US.

All, imo.

Happy Thanksgiving!

232 The media is now blaming Trump for the shooting of the 2 National Guardsmen.

They're blasting the headline that "Trump Administration approved his asylum claim in 2025"

Implying that Trump personally approved it.


Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at November 27, 2025 08:44 AM

Let's grant that this happened.

Fine, then this is all the more reason that there is no reason to reassess any of these people here from the Middle East and Third World countries (and Western nations that have become Third World countries like the UK, France, Sweden, etc.). Just send them all back and ban them all from ever returning.

The vetting process is broken. Likely because there are activists in the federal government rubber stamping all these savages.

During the 10-20 year moratorium on ALL immigration, the task should be to eliminate every activist from the federal government. Only after that has been successful will immigration be considered again.

240 Blame Trump? BS

Straighten out the stinking mess between approximately 124,000 people were airlifted out of Kabul, Afghanistan, during Operation Allies Refuge in August 2021, and at which time more 76,000 Afghans were brought to the United States under the subsequent Operation Allies Welcome program.

Then figure out the total number of Afghans who arrived in the U.S. through various other pathways (including special veteran flights; humanitarian parole; Special Immigrant Visas, and the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program) since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, and reported to be nearly 200,000 then.

And now?

BTW, only about 11,700 Afghans were admitted to the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and their protections were set to end on May 20, 2025, but - of course - challenged in Court.

A court ruling, October 3, 2025, allowed the termination of this status to take immediate effect. This means that Afghan nationals are no longer protected from deportation after May 20, 2025, although those with Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) issued before February 5, 2025, with an expiration date of October 2, 2026, will retain work authorization until that date.

The spike in searches of this person’s name in the hours before the attack means the people who knew this was going to happen were searching to see if he had completed his task.

Make no mistake, whether he came to the US on an SIV visa or humanitarian parole, he has a sponsor (handler) & a detailed dossier. They know exactly who he is - the question is who was he working for on this operation?

Top Story

  • OpenAI says a dead teenager circumvented ChatGPT safety features before committing suicide. (Tech Crunch)

    This comes out of one of the manifold lawsuits for wrongful death levied against OpenAI by the families of, well, crazy people.

    And OpenAI actually seems to have a point:
    OpenAI claims that over roughly nine months of usage, ChatGPT directed Raine to seek help more than 100 times.
    Why didn't you tell him to seek help?

    (Produces list of dates, times, and messages.)

    We did.
    But according to his parents' lawsuit, Raine was able to circumvent the company's safety features to get ChatGPT to give him "technical specifications for everything from drug overdoses to drowning to carbon monoxide poisoning," helping him to plan what the chatbot called a "beautiful suicide."
    Y'know, back in the Paleozoic era there were these things called libraries.

    Razors pain you;
    Rivers are damp;
    Acids stain you;
    And drugs cause cramp.
    Guns aren't lawful;
    Nooses give;
    Gas smells awful;
    You might as well live.

11 CBD - QNAP has a reputation for security mishaps, Synology has a reputation for locking down hardware after you've bought it, though both have taken steps to repair this.

Asus seems... Generally good.

The SSD-based ones are still too pricy because of the cost of the memory.

Boring old spinning drives are so much cheaper that it seems to make sense to get a bigger NAS with more slots. The memory is currently running at less than $20/TB!

63 From the Framework Desktop review:

That brings us to the most bizarre feature. There is a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot on the motherboard.

While that is exciting, someone forgot to put a low-profile card I/O slot between the PSU and the motherboard on the rear of the system. This is a huge miss, and one that even, having used the system for more than a month, I cannot get over. Perhaps you can stick an M.2 card in there, but it would have opened up the possibilities of this system so much to just have a low-profile card slot here (and an open-ended PCIe slot.) You end up with a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot that is not very useful because of the chassis design.


Yeah, that was a huge oversight.
Even if that slot is barely usable to begin with it would be nice to have somewhere to plug cables into it without cutting holes are leaving the side open with cables hanging out.

STH is the first reviewer I’ve seen mention this problem.

I had my Thanksgiving meal with NotSoThoreau on Monday. She is good people.

This will be the first Thanksgiving since my wife died. I miss her keenly. She always made me thankful.

I stood on watch most Thanksgiving while I was in the Service, so I could get Christmas with my family. But I have been estranged since Obama from them.
My wife was a blessing in that regard.

It’s probably that Framework designed this system before they started getting the motherboards in. The board looks like the same motherboards MinisForum puts out with the mobile chip soldered in and heatsink already installed.

So they designed it around an ITX motherboard size and didn’t even think about the PCIe slot until they started arriving and then they said “Ooops, too late to change anything on the chassis now!”

If it happened any other way than that somebody just wasn’t paying attention who should have been.

96 I did my regular shopping yesterday. Earlier I was waiting for my SS check to hit the bank. Still, it wasn't too bad. I was in and out of Walmart in twenty-five minutes. The local chain grocery was a bit slower, but they use actual clerks instead of the self-checkouts (which WM is phasing out, thank goodness). I was stuck in line behind a single mom whose little daughter kept calling me "Daddy." The woman shrugged. "She calls every male figure she sees 'Daddy.' I dunno why."

I could have told her why -- no male presence in the home, no doubt, and Big Government as Daddy -- and that she'd better be careful about her daughter's future life and choices. But I was nice and kept my mouth shut.

Quick summary: The contract we were on had not been extended and we were told to stop work immediately at 9. Co-worker reaches out to our boss and lets him know what happened.

Boss's reaction was basically "What? This is the first time I'm hearing about this" and he gets involved.

In the end, the contract got an extension on Monday afternoon, we were given up to 8 hours of furlough that doesn't count against our PTO and all is normal again.

Most of our malls are gone.

The Dillard's Outlet is housed in a dead mall building in the far western area. There's a Target nearby and a few other outlying businesses. Not hard to get to and very easy to park.

Maybe we can have lunch afterward at a Dot's Diner on the major boulevard south of there.

121 What’s ironic, or maybe not, the rise of shopping malls were (more or less) partly a direct result of the fact that shopping “downtown” was untenable after 1968.

I remember vaguely that going shopping downtown was kind of a big deal. Apparently involved lots of perfume, and scarves. Mom had gloves she would wear when going on about town to buy more shoes and unmentionables.

Grocery shopping. You paid for your stuff, and then went and got your car. Pull up to the delivery area and they would load your car filled with groceries. $20 was a LOT of food. Won’t even buy a pack of smokes some places now.

My grandmother on my mother's side of the family also pronounced "ate" as "et." She was born in 1915 and raised in the "hollers" of West Virginia coal country.

I suspect it is an older British pronunciation that was still preserved in Appalachia at the time.

I know what you're thinking. Turkey, turkey, turkey. Everyone talks about Thanksgiving in terms of turkey. Turkey on the table, turkey pardons, turkeys falling from the sky, etc.

What about the cranberry? When does the small but mighty cranberry get its turn in the spotlight?

I'm glad you asked...

20251124-cranberrytime.jpg

***

"Vaccinium macrocarpon" is the botanical name for the American cranberry.

Vaccinium macrocarpon, commonly called American cranberry, is native to bogs, swamps, and wet shorelines in parts of northern and eastern North America. It is a low-growing vine or trailing shrub (to 6" tall and spreading) with small, glossy leaves. Small, nodding flowers with white to pink, recurved petals bloom from late spring into early summer. The flowers are followed by plump, red to dark purple, ovoid to round, 0.5" diameter fruits. The leaves of this plant are a larval food source for the bog copper butterfly, the flowers are visited by bees, and the fruits are eaten by birds and occasionally small mammals.

The genus name Vaccinium comes from an ancient Latin name apparently derived from a prehistoric Mediterranean language. Its origin and meaning are generally considered to be lost to time.

The specific epithet macrocarpon means large-fruited, in reference to the relatively large size of the fruit of this species.

The common name cranberry derives from the Germanic kraan, meaning "crane" and bere, meaning "berry," possibly in reference to the appearance of the flowers.

Commercial cranberry cultivation reportedly started in the United States in 1816. Captain Henry Hall found a cranberry vine thriving in some sand on Cape Cod (Dennis, Massachusetts). He became the first person to successfully cultivate cranberries.

He noticed that the wild cranberries in his bogs grew better when sand blew over them. Captain Hall began transplanting cranberry vines and spreading sand on them. Others quickly copied his technique.

The idea of growing and selling cranberries commercially caught on. Local landowners converted their swamps, wetlands, peat swamps and wet meadows into cranberry bogs.

By 1885, Plymouth County had 1,347 acres under cultivation. Barnstable County had 2,408 acres. By 1900, the number of acres tripled, making Cape Cod a household name for cranberries.

What came next? Naturally, cranberries in a can.

In 1912, a lawyer named Marcus Urann bought a cranberry bog. Based at a facility in Hanson, Massachusetts, he sought ways to extend the short selling season of the berries. Canning them made cranberries a year-round product. He and two others eventually formed a cranberry cooperative.

20251124-vintagejellied.jpg

Cranberry Juice Cocktail was introduced in 1933 and the jellied cranberry sauce became available nationwide in 1941. Yes, the technical term for the tube of jiggling cranberry in a can is "sauce."

The cranberry cooperative group added members from Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington, and became the National Cranberry Association in 1946. In 1957, it became Ocean Spray after acquiring the name and logo from a fish company in Washington. You might have heard of it. It remains a cooperative, with over 700 farmers.

An exemption for agricultural cooperatives in the Capper-Volstead Act of 1922 gave "associations" making agricultural products limited exemptions from anti-trust laws.

Cran facts:

Americans consume 5,062,500 gallons of jellied cranberry sauce. It takes four million pounds of cranberries - 200 berries in each can.

Only about five percent of America's total cranberry crop is sold as fresh fruit. The rest go into juice, jelly, sauce, and dried fruit (craisins).

The five states known for growing cranberries are: Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. Wisconsin alone accounts for over 50%.

It takes approximately 4,400 cranberries to produce one gallon of cranberry juice.

Cranberry vines are evergreen perennials that can live for over 100 years and produce fruit for up to 65 years in commercial cultivation.

***

Do cranberries grow in water? No! Bogs are flooded just before the harvest. The vines are gently jiggled. The berries are released and float to the surface where they are scooped up. They can be dry picked (think of a process that runs a comb through the vines), but about 90 percent of cranberries are picked using wet harvesting techniques.

Four little air pockets inside each berry allows them to float.

19 My lovely wife LOVES that canned Ocean Spray garbage:

Behold: Nasty Gelled Cranberry Sauce, the unholy abomination that slinks out of the can with a wet, reluctant schlorp, like a gelatinous slug that’s been marinating in its own existential dread since 1973.
It lands on the plate in a perfect, ridged cylinder, quivering with the faint structural integrity of a haunted Jell-O mold. The surface gleams under the kitchen light with an unnatural, almost radioactive sheen (think "nuclear maraschino cherry" meets "gas station sushi"). Tiny air bubbles are suspended inside like trapped souls trying to escape. When you slice into it, the knife makes a sound best described as a sad trombone being slowly drowned in simple syrup.
The texture? Imagine if cranberry bog water had a midlife crisis, gave up, and decided to become a fruit-flavored rubber tire. It wobbles. It jiggles. It refuses to break apart like normal food, instead choosing to ooze in slow-motion defiance, leaving behind a glossy, sticky crime scene that clings to your fork like it’s personally offended you tried to eat it.

Miles remarried in 1624 to another colonial pilgrim babe, Barbara, 35, who arrived at the Plymouth colony on the ship the Anne in 1623.

• 1 cup oatmeal
• ½ cup sifted flour or rice flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 1 lb cranberries

Mix the oatmeal, flour, and brown sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Place half the oatmeal mix in a greased 8x8 pan. Cover with cranberries, and top with the remaining oatmeal. Bake 45 minutes at 350°.

92 I do make my own cranberry sauce (ultra simple, of course).

Dried cranberries are great in stuffing (and in couscous).

In the 1970s I recall (for some reason) browsing through an economic atlas of the US, and something like 95% of cranberry production was from Massachusetts.

99 Sorry all you Gobblers out there... but I will continue the tradition I've had for over 30 years now...

And Turkey Day will be celebrated with a Rib Roast.

32 years ago, I got divorced. I had full custody of my twins BUT X got them on some Holidaze... so... Thanksgiving she got them every other year, AND, whoever did not have them on Turkey day got the kids the following Friday and Weekend...

So... Her family ALWAYS did a Turkey... Thus, the tradition of the Rib Roast came to be.

Many years when I lived in Colorado, if'n I did not have the Kiddos, I would Snow Ski on Thanksgiving... then on Friday do the Beefy Beefy Feast...

It may have been an all-purpose recipe, I don’t have the book in front of me right now due to family travels. I love a good apple crisp, but that cranberry has taken over as my favorite, and rhubarb a close second.

Rhubarb Crisp

• 4 cups diced rhubarb
• ½ cup plus 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp water
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup oatmeal
• ¼ tsp salt

Mix all together; bake in 8x8 greased pan. Bake at 350° 45 to 50 minutes.

Do they stillmake jellied cranberry sauce with raspberry? I think that's an improvement. For whole cranberry sauce, go ahead and make it yourself, using the recipe on the bag of cranberries. Variations include 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt and some citrus juice and/or zest. But just cranberries, sugar and water is fine. Try it plain first.

Cranberry relish is zippier. There is also cranberry salsa, which can be nice. Sometimes made with mild chiles, onion and lime juice.

181
Mary Brewster (c. 1569 – April 17, 1627) was a Pilgrim and one of the women on the Mayflower.

She was the wife of Elder William Brewster. She was one of only five adult women from the Mayflower to survive the first winter in the New World, and one of only four such to survive to the "first Thanksgiving" in 1621, which she helped cook.[1][3] As such, she is included in Plimoth Plantation's reenactment of that Thanksgiving.

She had six children with William: Jonathan, Patience, Fear, an unnamed child who died young, Love, and Wrestling.

191 Don't know of a sweet/sour combo for beef. But a chipotle cream sauce and chimichurri combo work well with grilled flank steak. Pretty, too - light brown and bright green.
Posted by: rhomboid


Sweet sour beef: soak the sliced top round beef in soy, chinese rice wine, garlic, etc for a few hours. Pat dry, chill in the fridge for a few more. Mix up a cherry/ pineapple, chicken stock, soy, starch, sauce. Get the wok wicked hot. Toss the beef in a flour / corn starch and salt mix. Fry the hell out of it. Serve with rice, green onions, and the cooked down sauce.

I got a recipe, from a Methodist Church Cookbook no less, for carrots/celery matchsticks sauteed in butter and a TBS of or so of Grand Marnier and a touch of black pepper. Takes about two to three minutes to cook. It's simple and maybe doesn't sound so good, carrots-celery-orange. But that would be wrong. It's delicious.

You could make Jansson's Temptation, substituting tater tots for potatoes - Um, and probably sardines for the anchovies

Preheat the oven to 425F and layer the ingredients in a casserole in the order given:

2 large onions, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
14 fillets Swedish anchovies, or regular anchovies
6 potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

I bought some old-fashioned non-quick oatmeal the other day. Being of the retired persuasion, I no longer have to give a crap about stuffing down breakfast and heading out the door, and oatmeal is just the thing for a cold winter morning.

And once again I realize just how early my mother must've had to get up to make us all breakfast before school/work. "Quick" oatmeal didn't exist then. Biscuits and sausage gravy. Pancakes. Lots of other things.

I'mk thankful for that, Mom. I wish you were here so I could tell you in person.

364 Well, I got some good work done on #3 Suburban today, despite the cold 15 degree weather. Replaced the engine thermostat and the bypass hose. Engine now warms up to a decent operating temperature, and the heater blows a torrent of warm air. Drove it to Elnora for Wing Night, and the 'burb was toasty warm inside.

There was a bypass hose on it, but the previous workers had crammed in a piece of straight 3/4" heater hose, and it was kinked almost shut. I rooted around in a box of used molded heater hoses, found one with slight bend in it, and cut that piece out and used it. Fits like a glove; no kinks.

Dump in a jar of whatever red sauce.

"Mincemeat", as used as a filling for pies or tarts, is mostly candied fruit, and some nuts maybe, and a little suet or lard, IIRC. And it has spices in it.

413 Behold: Nasty Gelled Cranberry Sauce, the unholy abomination that slinks out of the can with a wet, reluctant schlorp, like a gelatinous slug that’s been marinating in its own existential dread since 1973.
It lands on the plate in a perfect, ridged cylinder, quivering with the faint structural integrity of a haunted Jell-O mold. The surface gleams under the kitchen light with an unnatural, almost radioactive sheen (think "nuclear maraschino cherry" meets "gas station sushi"). Tiny air bubbles are suspended inside like trapped souls trying to escape. When you slice into it, the knife makes a sound best described as a sad trombone being slowly drowned in simple syrup.
The texture? Imagine if cranberry bog water had a midlife crisis, gave up, and decided to become a fruit-flavored rubber tire. It wobbles. It jiggles. It refuses to break apart like normal food, instead choosing to ooze in slow-motion defiance, leaving behind a glossy, sticky crime scene that clings to your fork like it’s personally offended you tried to eat it.

436 Since TG isn't a huge production this year, I lazed around this morning... so peaceful... until my BFF texted me that her lights & tv were wonky.

She didn't know what to do and was scared that it would cost her a fortune to fix!

I told her to call the power company. She continued to freak out. I told her *again* to call power company, which she finally did... and then she wanted me to come over because she was still freaking out. OK.

Brought over a LED lantern & extra batteries, just in case.

Turned out, her neighbor's tree was rubbing the insulation on her powerline and water got in when it rained. Crew trimmed the tree and spliced out the bad spot. Yay! And no charge to BFF.

Heh. I had a similar situation this morning, except it wasn't a BFF. A woman came to the house looking for Roommate Brent, who was out. When I told her this, she burst into tears. In her car was a yappy terrier and two puppies, each maybe a month old. Car was overheating.

She had just left her abusive boyfriend and had no where to go. She had met Brent back in August. No contact since. I got her to a church that I'd been going to. Only person there happened to run the women's ministry. She suggested a battered women's shelter, and the girl was familiar with it. I followed her there to make sure her car didn't quit along the way. She appeared to be thinking a bit more clearly by then, so I'm hopeful she's getting the help she needs. Definitely not on my bingo card today...

450 Back in the 90's when my wife & I did the family Thanksgiving, my efforts would be brining two large birds the day before and then firing up my smoker around midnight and stuffing that bird with seasoned butter under the skin and then oranges and seasoning in the cavity. 3 hours later, my side burner BBQ would receive the second bird seasoned with a Cajun blend to be slow cooked with apple wood for the next 6 hours.

I did some pretty fine birds back in the day.

452 @Joe Kidd, Friday night about midnight I had a good friend (who lives about an hour away)'s son call me from California, saying Dad had gone to the ER that afternoon but left the hospital that night, and could I get him to go back? I went over to the house and talked to his wife. He had likely had a TIA (mini-stroke) at work -- one side of his face was drooping, his speech was slurred like he was drunk, and he had headaches. Once he got to the ER, though, neuro screening was fine, and they didn't do anything (which told me they didn't think it was an emergency). He was waiting around for an MRI and had had enough, so he went home. He was asleep. I said let him sleep and see if he'll go back tomorrow. But it screwed up my sleep all weekend to be up all night Friday night. Certainly wasn't in my plans. [Rest of story: we talked today and he'll go get an MRI when they can schedule it.]

453 We are doing our annual Friendsgiving feast at our friends' house again this year - been doing this for about 40 years now.

This year we will be bringing GF green bean casserole, GF stuffing, GF sweet potato casserole, GF buttermilk pie, canned cranberry sauce, and 3 pies that we ordered from a local company that helps out Rebecca's old school.

Most of the GF items taste the same as the regular stuff; A couple of the guests have to or choose to eat GF - Rebecca being one who has to - so we bring those items so that others don't have to make it special.

One of our friends brings sweet potato casserole and cranberry relish, but she adds jalapenos or chipotles to hers, and the cancer med that I am on makes my mouth very sensitive. I can't even drink carbonated soda these days!

But we will all have fun, and the thing that I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving is that I am still here to spend it with all of our dearest friends. 😊💕🦃

454 Runzas, as my grandmother made them, start out with making a bread/dinner roll dough, substituting a tablespoon of bacon grease for butter.

Brown up some hamburger/pork mince and set aside when done, then add a tablespoon of the bacon grease to the fat left over and saute the onions in the fat, and as soon as the onions are turning a light brown, add the sliced cabbage to the mixture and wilt it down.

After this is done, take mixture off the stove and let it cool down to room temperature, and as soon as this is done, take some dough and roll it out to a somewhat thin sheet (1/2 in thickness or so) and place some of the meat/cabbage/onion onto the dough and bring the edges up and around so as to enclose the meat, then seal the dough. Place on a cookie sheet, bake, and enjoy!

It was a field meal for my grandfather, his brothers (before they got married and started their own farms), son, and grandsons when they were planting/harvesting and couldn't come in to eat lunch and dinner.

462 @JQ, yeah, I told his wife it could have been Bell's palsy -- I've known a couple of people who got it. It's harmless and goes away after a while. But he should probably get the MRI just to make sure. I've been on a blood thinner for 10 years with AFIB and it's not that big a deal -- if he did have a TIA, then it's really not the end of the world to get them to forestall a stroke.

499 Well, I have a thanksgiving Uber misadventure to share with you.

Husband should have been able to Uber all night; Thanksgiving Eve does really good business. He had planned to bag $400-500 for the night.

He'd only netted $100 so far when a lady in her 40s got in his car. Must have been drunk. She proceeded to throw up on the outside and inside of the car. And peed in the back passenger seat. And she didn't say anything! He very randomly found out.

He took pics and reported it to Uber. She'll have an $80 fine added to her tab. Hubby needs to get it professionally detailed, but of course nothing is open on Thanksgiving, even the 24 hour places. So probably earliest can get it detailed is Friday. That's another night of business lost.

So frustrating! He's too mad to sleep. This is the second time someone's thrown up in the car and ruined his night. We really need to invest in waterproof seat covers methinks!

Red Sprites at Night Cafe

redsprites.jpg
Red sprites over Western Australia by JJ Rao

It's like night and day.

Someone made a nice little hang-out for this squirrel.

When you're such a mensch that you'll even splash through a flood to save a raccoon.

Piebald (?) horse has riz.

Bro's ears are so big he can hear the future. (This is probably AI.)

Dog is made of speed atoms.

It takes this raven a little doing, but eventually she works the problem.

The white ghost elephant has two trunks.

Dude is just "wrassling his wombat," if you catch my drift.

Baby whale is a real scamp.

Mama tortoise is proud of her baby.

Rolling up to an animal shelter and telling them "I'll take whatever poor creature's been here the longest."

When your fighting cocks start their own dog-fighting ring. "I learned it from you, dad!"

This story starts off sad and anger-making, but it ends well.

Here's the full "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" special, for as long as it stays up without being copyright-struck.

8 The often repeated phrase, there is no end to ricing your linux, is a true maxim.

I just spent the last couple of hours setting up figlet an lolcat to randomly select a phrase from a phrase txt file and random font to display every time a terminal is open, the phrases are well known movie and tv phrases.

I have now put together another list of bible verses, I will now spend the next several hours trying to create a method of taking the movie phrases and bible phrases and mashing them up.

The hardest part is how to parse each phrase and put them together so they make sense and aren't either gibberish or simply a non-contextual concatenation.

12 The following statement appeared in the comments section of a previous post:

NO AI is used in the production or distribution of Penguin Facts.

This statement is true. Communist front organizations typically insist that their agents write their own copy, which is then reviewed by a handler. In this way, the party maintains strict control over the narrative. As pointed out previously, agents of Penguin Facts first type out their comments on vintage Woodstock typewriters (in homage to Alger Hiss), then their handlers, after carefully reviewing the text, post the comments online.

I make what we call 'PA German Stuffing' - but it's not. It's mashed potatoes mixed with cooked bacon, butter, sausage, celery, butter, onion, a few bread crumbs, butter, a bit of garlic, butter, and then place in a baking dish and bake at 325 for 30-40 minutes or so. Oh yeah, top with more pat of butter.

65 lMy day. Frantically fixing code this morning. I thought I had it working but there was a bug and it was spamming about 15 people every hour. Finally I got it working correctly. Did some other things, and was dragging and I made the mistake of waiting until shortly after 3:30pm to finish up a couple of other things. Of course everyone had quit early. For the day before T-day its actually good that they were around till a bit after 3. Sometimes on thursday afternoons earlier than that I have merge or other requests and they will sit until Friday morning. With luck the person that has to do the 15 minute ops check this evening will do my merges. Life is simpler when the system is a bit out of whack and we can do our own merges.

I'm invited to neighbors and "you don't have to bring anything". I'm not a horrible cook but its been a busy work week so I'm glad they issued the invite that way and I just bought some K-cups to bring for a hostess gift.

87 Another billion-dollar boondoggle is sinking beneath the waves.

The 'low risk' Constellation class of next gen FFGs has been cancelled because the US Navy has not learned from the Zumwalt class or the two LCS classes. Delivery date of the lead ship has slipped from 2026 to 2029 as the Navy kept on adding requirements.

As a result, there will only be two Constellation class ships - USS Constellation and USS Congress. Both built in Wisconsin. The other four ships of the initial flight have been cancelled before keel laying.

From law-enforcement source:

Afghan National, born in 1996, armed with a revolver ambushed a female guardsman, shooting her in the head, and a male guardsman, shot multiple times. They never saw it coming. Both guardsmen were armed.

A Major in the National Guard, who was unarmed and doing his spot checks of the guardsmen was in the block, heard the shots and turned to see the shooter who spotted him. He took cover behind a truck.

The suspect came for the Major who pulled out his pocket knife, and bravely took on the suspect who was reloading his revolver.

The Major began stabbing the suspect in the head.

Another guardsman in the area who was armed, them drew his pistol and shot the suspect twice, once in the leg and once in the buttocks.

The Major stated that when the suspect began shooting he heard him shout, Allahu akbar!”

I just briefed [omitted].

Now, you know too.

There’s more: we trying to confirm if the suspect, an Afghan national was an interpreter brought over by Biden, because he has a Department of Defense record. Again, we are trying to confirm.

The suspect has a home address in Washington State.

104 Sometimes we would do our T-day meal on Friday-Sunday instead of Thursday. Always traditional, no trying new twists. Turkey, dressing, mashed taters and gravy, usually a baked squash and green beans and a relish tray with the cranberry sauce etc and pie and or pumpkin custard for dessert.

One year after my mom had died it was just dad and me and I was going to cook on Thursday but when I started to get ready I had forgotten to buy celery. Cant have that meal without the sage dressing with celery and onions so it got punted for a couple of days.

105 >>Yeah, looks like this guy popped in to the US illegally in 2021. So, you know all those experts that used the tired phrase "When, not if." Well, they were correct.

Fox is reporting that he was allowed in by Biden as part of an operation in 2021 to bring in Afghanis who worked with us during the war. But there was no real vetting, the allowed in pretty much anyone who asked.

And then this asshole overstayed his visa. There were tens if not hundreds of thousands of Afghanis allowed in. This is going to get worse before it gets better because leftists are doubling down on their rhetoric, everyone who opposes them is a Nazi fascist.

Even better, this was a "low risk" design approach, starting with an existing European design and messing it up, er, "adapting" it to US needs.

Agreed. Actions like that - using whatever you have- happen because we are an empowered, self-reliant people who take ownership and act when we see the need.

If more of us understood that, a lot of problems would go away.

I was hoping during the gov shutdown the message would go out that people need to be more responsible for their own well-being and not reliant on gov bennies.....

Afghanistan is just a small piece. Biden allowed in millions from all over the world. I remember seeing a report on the number of unaccompanied military age men that were flooding in from China. Nobody leaves China without permission. How would we know how many came in from jihad countries other than Afghanistan?

Lakanwal was admitted to America for a short time in 2021 and was supposed to go home when his visa expired.

Instead, the 29-year-old stayed here illegally, then apparently hatched a plan to kill American troops."

Not dealing with Iran
Not dealing with Hezbollah after the Marine bombing
Sandra Day O'Connor
Not ending affirmative action (see Sandra Day O'Connor)

Not quite correct. I'm critical of Reagan, but also fully aware of his manifest talents and accomplishments in a different American era. Setting us up to collapse the Soviet Union without a shot being fired in active war was an enormous accomplishment. At least 30% of the world's population was freed of Communist tyranny and influence. That's no small feat and deserves a place on Rushmore by itself. Sticking with Volcker when the Rs got shellacked in '82 was a feat of intestinal fortitude that set us up for 40 years of economic gains. That deserves another place at Rushmore.

His misses were big, but his hits were much bigger, on the whole.

It is also an opinion he has backed up by explaining his reasoning. It is something you can disagree with, but calling someone an anti-semite is not an argument.
Arguing, for example, that he is doing the only thing possible in the situation IS an argument. However that argument would require an analysis of WHY that is a valid tactic requires more typing than "rasiss" so.

Tucker challenges the neo-con argument for foreign involvement, and that argument is central to much of how the US government is organized.

It's not difficult. They are a functioning democracy, the only one, in a region full of religious, tyrannical and murderous psychopaths that despise us as much as they do Jews and Israel. For all of your whining about Israel I've never heard you say a word about all of the money we give Egypt. Because in both instances it's we pay to have them do shit or we do it ourselves.

And why do you never mention what we get for the money we give Israel? Most of it comes back to us for weapons purchases and in exchange we get missile and medical technology and much more. Why don't you ever mention any of that?

Israel isn't perfect. Obviously, the US isn't. None of us are. But pretending our relationship with Israel isn't a net positive for the US is dumb.

Or we could just let the jihadis continue to spread and attack more Americans like they did today.

to displace, I don't disagree with your position, I disagree with silencing argument. Part of this is because of my feeling that argument is essential, but even more because it is a terrible tactic.

Bill Buckley silenced argument from his position at the head of Conservative Inc, and turned a major strain of political thought in the US into a country club for people who agreed with him. He should not have had that power, and it made Conservatism into a voice crying in the dark.

The Wednesday In Woke

The Bee:

bbchicagojudge.jpg

Almost 30 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend.

Three people are dead, and 26 more were injured in shootings in the Democrat-run Windy City this weekend. Yet state and local authorities are much more concerned about ICE arresting illegal aliens than about the sky-high crime rate.

CBS Chicago posted the most recent tally as of Monday morning, which was 29 shooting victims this weekend, three of them fatal. The victims ranged in age from a very young 13 to 65. The youngest fatality was a 14-year-old, and the number of deaths could go higher, as multiple individuals were reported in a serious or critical condition by the time they reached hospitals.

The biggest shooting appears to have been the one that made headlines from the popular Loop area of Chicago following Christmas season festivities, which left more than half a dozen teenagers injured.

The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Chicago ended in tragedy after seven 13-to-17-year-olds were shot. Mayor Brandon Johnson, who has been wasting time, resources, and effort on protecting illegal aliens, admitted that there is a threat this holiday season of attempted "teen takeovers." ABC7 staff heard the shots from the State Street studio. Obviously, large crowds are expected in downtown Chicago this holiday season, making the potential impact of shootings much greater.


A separate incident that same night claimed the life of the 14-year-old boy. At the same time, an 18-year-old man was seriously injured, and it is not clear if he will survive. Ironically, Mayor Johnson, who loves to bash law enforcement, promised after that shooting, "we will have a strong police presence. We'll have stronger control over how traffic flows."

Yes but no arrests. One mustn't ever arrest the criminals. You can put police on the streets to discourage them from shooting people right in front of the cops, but if they aren't discouraged and do shoot people -- no arrests.

And if they are arrested: Put them back on the street in three hours.

In Italy, a sixty-year-old woman was raped by a migrant in a park while waling her dog.

But that's not the telling fact. The telling fact is that migrants already gang-raped a woman in this same park, earlier this year.


PARK OF HORRORS Female dog-walker, 60, 'sexually assaulted by migrant' in SAME park where teen 'was gang raped in front of her partner'

The dog-walker was raped with such force she suffered serious injuries after the assault

Culture, enriched.


A WOMAN in her 60s was raped by a migrant while walking her dog in the same park a gang of expats brutally attacked and gang raped a teen, forcing her boyfriend to watch.

The quiet Tor Tre park in Rome has become the centre of shocking catalogue of sexual violence, with police now probing a string of assaults stretching back months.

The first attack came in the early hours of the morning in August, when a 60-year-old woman was attacked around 6am.

She was dragged into the park near the Via degli Olmi entrance and raped with such force she suffered two broken ribs.

Despite her injuries, she managed to reach the Casilino hospital emergency room, where doctors confirmed clear signs of violent assault.

Detectives later traced the culprit -- a 26-year-old Gambian construction worker captured on local CCTV.

He admitted being under the influence of drugs at the time.

The same man was also linked to another rape just days later, when a 44-year-old woman was attacked at a bus stop.

He is now locked up in Regina Coeli prison.

But the nightmare in Tor Tre Teste didn't end there.

On October 25, just weeks after the dog-walker attack, up to five migrants targeted a young Italian couple parked quietly in a corner of the same park.

The pair -- both naked -- had stopped their car on what should have been a calm evening in the eastern suburbs of Rome.

But within minutes a gang surrounded the vehicle, savaging the car in a crazed outburst before smashing the windows.

Once the glass shattered, one attacker forced open the door and yanked the 24-year-old man out into the darkness.

His 18-year-old fiancée was dragged out seconds later as she desperately tried to cover herself with whatever clothing she could grab.

The man told police he was pinned back by two migrants as the others hauled his fiancée away from the car.

He begged, screamed and threatened the gang -- but was helpless as they allegedly raped the terrified teen metres from the vehicle.

His desperate cries went unheard.

After the assault, the attackers grabbed the couple's belongings and fled into the night.

The traumatised pair immediately reported the attack.

Rome's Flying Squad launched a major investigation, quickly identifying suspects as the hunt widened across Italy.

Two Moroccan men were arrested in the capital within days.

A third suspect was tracked down in Venice and detained just recently.


The leader of the transgender murder cult, the "Zizians," appeared in court and turned it into an anti-trans-"genocide" freakshow.

Note that this is a man -- as much a man as garret, or, actually, 45% more of a man, now that I think of it -- but of course the media is going to refer to him as "her."

I can't be bothered correcting them.

The alleged leader of a cultlike group linked to several killings made her first appearance in federal court Monday, denouncing the government and its case against her as a "genocide" against transgender people.

Ziz LaSota, who was originally charged under what her attorney referred to as her deadname, gave meandering answers at her initial appearance and arraignment in U.S. District Court in downtown Baltimore related to a Western Maryland gun arrest, which ended what had been a cross-country search.

She refused to stand when the judge entered the courtroom, or when entering her plea of not guilty.

"Your government is currently going around scooping up brown people and disappearing them," the 33-year-old LaSota said when asked by U.S. Magistrate Judge Douglas R. Miller if she understood the charges she faces. "I'm transgender, and the intentions of this regime towards transgender people are very clear: genocide."

...

The Zizians have been tied to the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent near the Canadian border in January and five other homicides in Vermont, Pennsylvania and California, though the exact role of LaSota, who faked her death in 2022, is unclear and she has not been charged in those deaths. She's been seen at crime scenes, questioned by authorities and, in one instance, arrested on charges of obstructing police in Pennsylvania.

The Associated Press has reported that the Zizians are a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists, most of them in their 20s and 30s, who met online, shared anarchist beliefs and became increasingly violent. Their online writings span topics from radical veganism to gender identity to artificial intelligence.

LaSota, the apparent leader and a former computer programmer, believes that the two hemispheres of the human brain can operate separately from one another, with one side holding different beliefs and existing as a different gender than the other, The Associated Press reported.

Alleged Zizian member Teresa Youngblut is charged with the murder of border agent David Maland in Vermont, and federal authorities have said they will seek the death penalty.


...

As the judge asked basic questions such as whether she had read the indictment and understood the maximum possible penalties, LaSota chided the "mock proceedings" and said Miller was a "participant in an organized crime ring" led by the "states united in slavery."

Miller struggled to get LaSota to answer basic questions.

Please state your name for the record, the court clerk said.

"Justice," she replied.

What is your age?

"Timeless."

What year were you born?

"I have been born many times."

Joy Behar put ABC "News" show The View on the hook for another billion-dollar lawsuit by Trump by asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Trump is a pedophile.


ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein's crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein's criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout.


...

But, according to Jay Behar, it's Trump's guilt that's self-evident. "But isn't it obvious he was -- that Trump was involved with Epstein?! I mean--" she said, as Sunny Hostin immediately backed her up with, "He's mentioned over a thousand times."

Behar escalated from there. "There are more pictures with Epstein than pictures of Kim Kardashian of herself!" she declared, thrilled with her own exaggeration.

Believe it or not, Behar continued to push the narrative: "How many more things do we have to see before people believe that he was involved with Epstein?!"

Jake Tapper's ever-ready WITHOUT EVIDENCE chyron was unavailable for comment by the deadline for this post's publication.

Candace Owens and Joy Reid are now spinning similar conspiracy theories.

World's Strongest Woman is, of course, a man.

But that man has been stripped of his title.

His new title is "Fat Pussy Cheater."

The controversial winner of the World's Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest's rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex at birth.

"It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women's Open category," organizers said in a social media statement announcing the decision.

"Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed."

"Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Woman's Open category," they added.

The move comes after the runner-up, UK lifter Andrea Thompson, was filmed storming off the podium as she raged about the "bulls--t" decision to award the title to Booker.

Thompson is now the winner, which many online supporters had called her all along.

15 How can there be "genocide" against transgender people?

Trannies aren't a race. Furthermore, those who commit themselves to transgenderism and mutilate themselves become sterile. They can't breed among themselves. They will die out on their own if no more people are convinced to go through with it. It's a self-inflicted "genocide."

Idiots.

The bad guys, generally, go to jail and, as far as I can tell, there are no activist judges. Hell, we only have 2 full time judges for criminal cases anyway and those two cover six other counties also - not just mine.

173 Let's see if 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the U.S. in 2021, was part of the tens of thousands of Afghan people granted "humanitarian parole" as part of Operation Allies Welcome following the fall of Kabul starting in the summer of 2021.

The program continued with subsequent arrivals, some "paroled" after September 2023, who were also eligible for specific benefits.

BUT NOW many Afghan parolees who arrived between July 31, 2021, and September 30, 2022, were eligible for benefits until March 31, 2023, or the end of their parole term, whichever was later. Since then, many have lost access to these programs and don't have other protections like asylum. They might receive a notice to appear in court and face deportation proceedings. 😭 /S

Editors Confront New Problem: AI Slop "Written" by Scam "Journalists"

I guess as a threshold question, we have to ask: Is AI slop any worse than the leftwing human slop that "journalists" spit out? After all, they just "write" their articles straight from DNC press releases.

But I can relate. As I keep posting in the Cafes: "This had better not be AI." It's an annoying thing to constantly have to be on guard that you're being scammed. Even though it's no big deal if I post AI slop in the Cafe -- could anything be lower stakes? -- there's just a personal aversion to being tricked.

And so I imagine that leftwing editors are annoyed at having to double-check if the articles submitted to them by freelance "journalists" are "real" articles -- put together with the normal amounts of human, or superhuman, bias and narrow-minded PMC provincialism -- or just fake biased articles shit out of Google's biased AI.


An editor at The Local became suspicious of one of his "journalists."


A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

After putting out an open call to "journalists" for story pitches about the privatization of Canadian healthcare, he got one he liked.


The writer, Victoria Goldiee, introduced herself as having written for The Globe and Mail, The Walrus, and Maisonneuve--Canadian outlets that publish the same kind of feature writing we do.

...


When I googled her, I saw that Victoria had written stories for a set of publications that collectively painted the picture of an ambitious young freelancer on the rise--short pieces in prestigious outlets like The Cut and The Guardian, lifestyle features in titles like Architectural Digest and Dwell, and in-depth reporting in non-profit and industry publications like Outrider and the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland. Her headshot was of a youthful Black woman. She was, according to her author bio, "a writer with a keen focus on sharing the untold stories of underrepresented communities in the media."

At the next editorial story meeting, we decided to take a shot on Victoria and assign the story. Then I began looking more closely at her work.

There were some red flags. The first question I had was whether she was actually in Toronto when so many of her bylines were in New York magazines and British newspapers. And how had she managed to do so many interviews already? Doing so much reporting without the guarantee of pay felt like a big gamble.

When I googled "Victoria Goldiee" with the names of the Canadian publications she said she'd written for, there were no results. We reached out to Danielle Martin, one of the doctors Victoria claimed she'd interviewed. Martin said she'd never heard of her.

I emailed Victoria back: "​​Are those quotes from your own interviews? And do you mind sending along some clippings, perhaps from your Walrus or Maisonneuve stories?"

She sent a lengthy reply the next day. "The quotes I included in the pitch are from original interviews I've conducted over the past few weeks," she insisted. "In terms of previous work, I write a regular newsletter for The Walrus, which gives a good sense of my ability to balance accessibility with depth while speaking to a broad audience." She attached a link to The Walrus's "Lab Insider" newsletter that did not have her byline.

"I can 100% confirm that they do not write the Lab Insider newsletter," wrote Tracie Jones from The Walrus when I emailed. "How odd to say they do!"

Victoria's stilted email, and a closer read of the original pitch, revealed what should have been clear from the start: with its rote phrasing ("This story matters because of... It is timely because of... It fits your readership because of..."), it had all the hallmarks of an AI-generated piece of writing.

This had better not be AI.


I was embarrassed. I had been naively operating with a pre-ChatGPT mindset, still assuming a pitch's ideas and prose were actually connected to the person who sent it. Worse, the reason the pitch had been appealing to me to begin with was likely because a large language model somewhere was remixing my own prompt asking for stories where "health and money collide," flattering me by sending me back what I wanted to hear.

But if Victoria's pitch appeared to be an AI-generated fabrication, and if she was making up interviews and bylines, what to make of her long list of publications?

An investigation solidified the pattern: Publications this person said she had written for said they had published no pieces by her, and people she quoted in interviews said they'd never spoken to her.


"The quotation did not come from me and, to the best of my recollection, I have never met or spoken to Victoria Goldiee," Elaine Sutherland, professor emerita at the University of Stirling, wrote me. What was even more unsettling, though, was that the sentiments in the soundbite reflected her real beliefs. "The quotation attributed to me is the sort of thing I might say," she wrote.

A month after that article, a Victoria Goldiee story in the design publication Dwell--"How to Turn Your Home's Neglected Corners Into Design Gold"--featured a series of quotes purported to be from a wide array of international designers and architects, from Japan to England to California. A cursory read raised questions that probably should have been asked by editors to begin with. Namely, had a freelancer writing an affiliate-link-laden article about putting credenzas in your living room's corners actually interviewed 10 of the world's top designers and architects?

The designers he contacted had no memory of ever having been contacted by this person.

The stories had the characteristic weirdness of articles written by a large language model--invented anecdotes from regular people who didn't appear to exist accompanied by expert commentary from public figures who do, with some biographical details mangled, who are made to voice "quotes" that sound, broadly, like something they might say.

Eventually he gets her to take his phone call, and finds that she's making up more details as she speaks to him. For example, when asked where she lives in Toronto, she answers "Bloor," which is one of the first streets you would see if you googled "what are some streets in Toronto."


I don't think I've ever spoken to someone who I suspected was lying to me with each and every response. I also don't know if I've interviewed anyone I so desperately wanted to hear the truth from.

I had so many questions. Was the person on the phone even the same person whose writing was online? Where did she actually live--if not "Bloor," was it the States? The U.K.? Or, as suggested by some of her writing, Nigeria?

Yeah it's probably Nigeria, one of the hubs of the bustling America First internet community.

...

Every media era gets the fabulists it deserves. If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation's internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment. They're taking advantage of an ecosystem uniquely susceptible to fraud--where publications with prestigious names publish rickety journalism under their brands, where fact-checkers have been axed and editors are overworked, where technology has made falsifying pitches and entire articles trivially easy, and where decades of devaluing journalism as simply more "content" have blurred the lines so much it can be difficult to remember where they were to begin with.

...

My favourite "Victoria Goldiee" story is a piece she published in The Guardian just last month. It's a first-person essay without quotes, and thus difficult to fact-check.

Steven Glass discovered that it was easy to fool the fact-check system: Just quote "people" who are entirely made-up. Fake people do not call into magazines demanding a retraction, after all.

Jayson Blair attributed fake but non-controversial quotes to people he never spoke to. Like, if he was supposedly in New Orleans covering a hurricane -- but in fact never left his NYC apartment -- he'd make up a quote for someone he saw named in someone else's article, but make up a "new quote" for him, like, "The hurricane was bad, but the clean up might even be more stressful."

Something completely empty and anodyne that no one would bother calling up an editor asking for a retraction, because it's just such a nothingburger.

One of the people Blair made up quotes for was later asked why he hadn't called the paper to say he'd never said that.

His answer was illuminating, and true: Because, the man said, I just sort of figured that's what you in the media do all the time.

23 AI slop is often better written than the news articles I've read over the years. AI writes in complete sentences with proper English and correct spelling. It often has much better logical structure. I can't say the same for pre-AI news of the last twenty years.

AI will start a fake news story by telling you exactly what happened, then give witness accounts and background information. Journalists at the regional level can't even do that. You'll read a whole article and be left wondering what the hell you just read.

30 It's real fun when a paralegal uses AI to create a brief, resulting in the lawyer referring to fictional case law in a trial.

AI is sometimes like an overeager puppy, just willing to do anything to please its master. It has no morals or ethics of its own, and doesn't consider the consequences just as long as it can make its user happy by providing him with something shiny.

Of course, when the user has no morals or ethics either, the problem is exacerbated.

32 What is an AI tell is the repetitive phrasing. I am sure that will improve with time. AI will also give fake citations- if you ask it if the cites are real, it will admit they are not. Again, I assume this will improve but I certainly wouldn’t trust it to write a thesis for me. Teachers use a program to detect AI, but this is flawed, too. My friend’s son was accused of using AI because his paper was flagged by whatever program this teacher was using. My friend sat with her son and helped him write it, so she knew it wasn’t AI. AI is fun, but it’s far from flawless.

Another interesting point is that the AI writer was using AI to generate quotes from people with enough online presence that the AI would say stuff "that sounded like something they would say."

So they didn't complain because it sounded right. This is diabolical.

Something one should do to the maximum extent possible is to lock down credit reporting with a credit freeze (even if you do not use credit), using monitoring services for any accounts, etc. opened or attempted to be opened, remove as much as you can from your digital footprint from databrokers using Optery, Incogni, Privacy Bee, etc.

Most will let you run an initial scan for free to determine how much data is out there on you and who has it. I would also suggest closing old accounts at online vendors where you have not done business with and perhaps using email aliases even.

78 What is an AI tell is the repetitive phrasing. I am sure that will improve with time. AI will also give fake citations- if you ask it if the cites are real, it will admit they are not. Again, I assume this will improve but I certainly wouldn’t trust it to write a thesis for me. Teachers use a program to detect AI, but this is flawed, too. My friend’s son was accused of using AI because his paper was flagged by whatever program this teacher was using. My friend sat with her son and helped him write it, so she knew it wasn’t AI. AI is fun, but it’s far from flawless.
Posted by: Piper at November 26, 2025 05:26 PM (Wmg4n)

It wouldn't be hard in general to write some non AI code to verify citations if the source is online. Some flags might be false, but pretty much as we see people who fake things do it all the time so should throw up a blizzard of red flags.

While it's true that some users might misuse AI for trolling or deception, it's also reasonable for many regular posters to use AI tools to help organize their thoughts, improve clarity, or overcome language barriers.

The concern isn't necessarily about authenticity, but about the potential for reduced authenticity and critical thinking in online discourse.

Many people use AI for constructive purposes, such as structuring arguments or refining writing, especially on platforms where clear communication is valued.

Dismissing all AI-assisted posts as inauthentic overlooks the nuanced ways people integrate these tools into their online interactions.

It's always about the message. Then it's about the physical characteristics of the perspective employee. It's rarely about merit unless there are finances involved.

And, here's the thing. AI can be coaxed to write in a particular style. For example, I could instruct AI to write a 500 word article on "down trodden immigrants." I could instruct AI to write it in the style of someone like Leslie Stahl. The management now has an opportunity. A young, presumable minimal salary candidate, who writes just as well (almost exactly) like Leslie Stahl. Do the math.

These people are maybe not crazy, they have been driven crazy. In their world view, what they are doing seem rational. Because they are marinated in lies and disinformation constantly. Michelle Obama really believes that hair straightening for black women is a huge concern for the rest of the world...because that is what the internet fed her. Crazy Tennessee Karen Prime believes her insane behavior is justified and perfectly rational, and so do her voters, because they all read the same phony crap, day after day.

The people who fall for this crap spend all day on the internet, and have jobs where they scarcely interact with anyone, if they have jobs at all.

It's extremely useful and a big time saver for complicated, tedious, work such as that.

But I wouldn't trust an AI generated text 100%

I even double-check the AI result for food recipes with the sources, or scroll further down the search results, past the AI response, and actually check the pages/videos it's getting info from. Half the time it has mixed and melded different recipes from several sources and has gotten things like oven temps and time to bake wrong.

LLM Generative AI is really not reliable for a lot of things due mainly to the reward/punishment training they receive.
They are trained to output anything they can come up with to please the user, and that's exactly what causes the hallucinations and lies.

Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel

Some of those false positives come from using Grammerly and/or grammar checking software that suggests alternative phrasing already built into many word processing software like Word.

Like the original plagiarism function, running it at a very small similarity match generates too many false positives. But if I was still teaching, I would be using in class writing assignments now and flip lecturing/review to online.

The senior electrician really disliked the guy who was my mentor and was unhappy that I qualified to take the oral board before his student did so he rigged the board.

They told my mentor that they tried really hard to get me on something but, other than being really stupid at the end - which I blame on fatigue - I knew my shit.

Since we're now talking about walking to school uphill - both ways! - my most difficult exam was a 3 hour "take-home" test on Finite Element Analysis. The kicker was that I had another class in the middle of the time allocated for the exam. I spoke to the professor and he replied that I was one of his best undergraduate students and didn't need the full 3 hours. ... Uh ... thanks for the complement?

235 Over the years, I have put a lot of thought into the problem of narrow-minded PMC provincialism. One of the keys to my understanding is the 2016 essay "Welcome to AirSpace," reproduced by the author here:

https://kylechayka.substack.com/p/airspace-redux

Imagine your life on a map. Now imagine taking all those long straight lines of plane flights and collapsing them, like pinching a fancy hologram "Minority Report" style, so that all the airports you departed from and arrived at are all reduced to a single point -- The Airport -- with only your overland travels depicted around it. Now imagine doing the same to all the long straight lines of freeway travel, collapsing every on-ramp and off-ramp you ever took into The Exit.

What would the radius of your tactile life experiences be, if we disregard the kinda-sorta "slow teleportation" of shuttling in containers? Would you (virtually) have been born, lived, and died in a smallish circle, similar to the proverbial medieval peasant? I think that our social elites lives in the most insidious monocultural bubble: one specifically designed to fool them into thinking that they aren't in one at all.

They're using it more and more but it's nowhere near perfect yet.

To make an AI video you have to make hundreds of very short clips and splice them together to make the entire ad. They have to basically storyboard out the entire commercial, then prompt the AI to do one quick shot, then another, and then another, all while keeping the actors/subjects consistent as well as backgrounds and sets, etc.

It's not perfect yet, but it has to be cheaper than hiring an entire crew for millions of dollars to make a 30 second ad.

There's no AI available yet that can output an entire movie in a few hours, but it'll be here eventually, and at that point Hollywood is truly cooked until people get tired of watching fake AI entertainment and want something real for nostalgia reasons if nothing else.

The college had for some reason opened up this class to the Liberal Arts Linguistic students (apparently language is language) so a whole mess of LA students hit a buzz saw. The average was in the 20s to 30s with the CS students being decent but a tad low and a mountain 10-20 percent.

Ogilvy said decades ago that the problem with the ad industry was ad buyers. They wanted to see what the end product would look like before picking an agency. So, the agencies would inevitably do subpar work, since the proposal stage was done as cheaply as possible due to being unpaid; and then if they got the contract, the real thing was based on that junk. He would get calls from people saying they liked his work and wondered why he didn't submit a proposal, and his answer was always the same: they could either hire him based on his prior work (which they admitted they liked), or not hire him, but he wouldn't participate in a system structurally designed to produce crap.

If the ad buyers still refuse to reform themselves, then they will get AI slop, since that it makes it cheaper to produce the crap they incentivize.

Democrats' Karen Prime and AWFL Emeritus for Life Aftyn Behn Is Getting Crazier and Angrier By the Moment

The hits keep coming with the Democrats' candidate for the Nashville district, Aftyn Behn.


Democratic Tennessee congressional candidate Aftyn Behn sobbed and screamed at the top of her lungs as security removed her from Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's office in resurfaced footage from April 2019.

Behn and other women with the activist group, Enough is Enough-Tennessee, staged a sit-in inside the state capitol and demanded to speak to Lee about calling for the resignation of the then-Republican state Rep. David Byrd, who was accused of sexual misconduct at the time. The women, including Behn, tried to rush into the governor's office when the doors were open on April 17, 2019, prompting security to remove her from the premises.

Footage posted by NewsChannel 5 Nashville shows security dragging Behn out of the office as she screamed at the top of her lungs. She then sat on her knees and sobbed on the floor.

Behn was asked about prior tweets in which she urged the burning of police stations to the ground as part of the George Floyd Insurrection.

She refuses to acknowledge those tweets -- but she goes further than that.


Did you catch that? Not only does she refuse to disown her tweets calling for police stations to be burned down in the past, but she refuses to say that she does not believe police stations should be burned down in the present.

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: She absolutely refuses to un-endorse burning down police stations.

Q: Representative, in 2020 you made some tweets that have since been deleted, that were very critical of police. You said, in those since-deleted tweets, that the Metropolitan Police Department in Nashville should be dissolved, another shared on a teacher's union tweet that Defund the Police should be a requirement for schools reopening, and another saying "Good morning to the 54% of Americans who believe that burning down a police station is justified." 2020 was a very fraught year. Do you still stand by those comments, and if not, is there anything you want to clarify?

BEHN: Uh-- I'm not going to engage in cable-news talking points, but what I will say is our communities need solutions, we need local people deciding, solving local problems with local solutions. And that's not the overreach of a federal government or a state government, of which we are dealing with in Nashville and our cities across the state of Tennessee.

This is not just a case of her being coy about whether those tweets were hers or refusing to denounce her own past statements. Even when simply asked, ignoring the tweets, do you now believe, yes or no, that police stations should be burned to the ground, she refuses to say she doesn't. She doesn't want to alienate the antifa/trantifa shock troops.

This deep thinker also rejects the 2021 thinking that women give birth to babies -- not men -- and wants to speak only of "birthers," no sex noted, to include both male and female birthers.

She then believes that she can organize some kind of "collective bargaining" by bringing together both the female birthers and the male birthers, who, let us be clear, are also female birthers, so I don't know how this flakey retard thinks she has expanded the pool of "birthers" in order to add to the "collective bargaining" "leverage."


BEHN: I think, as an organizer and as an activist, like, we really have an opportunity here in this country to talk about what kind of policy -- progressive policies we want to see as young women. And I think we have, as birthers, as women who can give birth, men and women who can give birth, we can maybe leverage that as collective bargaining. That is the basis of this book that I'm not -- I've just started reading called Birthstrike, and how we can really leverage collective bargaining when it comes to having children in this country. And so, for example, like, I'm not going to give birth until the United States government concedes A, B, C, D. What do you think about that?

Q: Hmmm. Seems a little much.

BEHN: Really?

Unfortunately, this will hardly matter. American leftists have degenerated into absolute viral insanity and barbarity, and they're openly proud to support insanity and even murder.

Update: Yes, as we all suspected, the fact that this woman is obviously mentally ill is no barrier to other mentally ill women supporting her.

Ed Morrissey quotes a new Emmerson poll -- it's a virtual tie.

A new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of the special election for US Congress in Tennessee's 7th district finds 48% of voters support Republican Matt Van Epps and 46% support Democrat Aftyn Behn. Two percent plan to vote for one of three third-party candidates on the ballot, and 5% are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Van Epps' overall support increases to 49%, and Behn to 47%.

"The special election in Tennessee's 7th District will come down to what groups are motivated to turnout on election day, and who stays home," Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.

Unfortunately, that's true. I have the same sick feeling I did in Trump's first term. We just kept high-fiving each other over the 2016 win while we lost in 2018 and 2020. We just keep dancing over the same first-quarter touchdown while Democrats run up the score on us.

What this shows is that the GOP brand is associated with fat old white retirees who don't give a shit about the working class (but shure do love us some country music!). That's the Cornyn/Graham demo.
Trump won because he convinced voters he is not Cornyn or Graham.

9 At some point you will realize that democracy is mob rule, as the Founders themselves believed. Letting useless people vote is a recipe for the suicide John Adams predicted. You either keep whining about this, or you act accordingly. The good thing about useless people is that they depend on others to survive. This is also the bad thing about them, but it makes them totally vulnerable. The non-useless people have to consent to be fleeced by the useless people.

80 The problem with very clearly pointing out that a candidate is batshit crazy, and just hoping that's all you have to do, shaming people into not voting for them, is that when they still win you are creating a very clear incentive structure for crazy.

The left is doing this because they see Trump as crazy. Because they're told he is and they believe that because they are crazy. So their counter is to elect someone crazy with the basic issue here being that they are already all pretty damned crazy. So you have to pick increasingly very crazy people as the base crazy level is already high so that the crazy candidate stands out. It's a moving target getting crazier and crazier.

And the GOP is complicit in this by not devoting every effort and waking moment to defeating them and putting them down like the rabid dogs they are. See the last elections in Virginia for more information. I don't understand why people can't get this through their heads, you cannot shame democrat voters out of voting for democrats. You can demoralize them. Focus on them and make them so miserable they give up. And you can motivate your base. This is all there is now.

No one seems to know what time it is.

It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues.

Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.

127 Nashville Banner, November 8, 2025, In part -

WORKING FAMILIES PARTY: The Working Families Party on Monday endorsed Aftyn Behn for Congress in Tennessee’s tight District 7 special election in an attempt to secure another progressive win. The party, fresh off of recent wins for New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson, is hoping to push Behn, a similarly progressive candidate with an unusual shot in a traditionally conservative district, to victory on December 2. “Aftyn Behn has spent years working to improve the lives of working families as a social worker, a community organizer, and an elected official,” Amirah Sequeira, Director of Federal Affairs for the Working Families Party, said in a release. “Her relentless focus on the affordability crisis and the issues impacting everyday people in Tennessee have shown how working-class candidates can be competitive even in deep red seats.” Behn’s opponent is Trump-endorsed Republican Matt Van Epps. Early voting has begun and will continue through Nov. 26. — Sarah Grace Taylor

Murdering NG soldiers is a shark bump to see how little Trump's failed government will react. Trump will do nothing. We will get a few more shark bumps and also zero response other than strong words by a weak and ineffective DOJ.

It's early 2027, a group of Democrats, having won Congress in 2026, accompany Trump on a visit to Israel where he suffers a heart atteck and dies.

The undertaker tells the American Diplomats accompanying him, "You can have him shipped home for $1,000,000 or you can bury him here in the Holy Land for just $100."

The American Diplomats go into a corner to discuss for a few minutes.

They return and tell him they want Trump shipped home.

The puzzled undertaker asks,"why would you spend $1,000,000 to ship him home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $100?"

The American Diplomats reply, " Long ago a man died here, was buried here and three days later he rose from the dead. We just can't take the risk."

DOJ Employee Charged With Terrorism For Doxxing Fellow Federal Agents

She doxxed them in the midst of a raid, at the point of maximum danger.

A staffer for the U.S. Department of Justice is facing state-level terrorism charges in South Texas after authorities say she exposed the identity of a federal agent during an immigration-related raid, triggering what investigators called a credible threat against the agent's life.

Cameron County officials arrested Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville, following a criminal indictment alleging she posted the agent's personal information in the middle of an active law-enforcement operation. She has been charged with one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with physical evidence.

District Attorney Luis Saenz said the case began on June 9, when federal agents executed a raid in Brownsville and bystanders began livestreaming the operation. As the video spread across social media, viewers flooded the comment section. Investigators say one user issued what they deemed a death threat toward the federal agent shown on screen. Moments later, another commenter publicly revealed the agent's identity.

So there's very little doubt that she understood what she was doing might lead to the agent's murder.



According to Saenz, authorities traced the doxxing back to Olvera De Leon, a DOJ employee tasked with supporting federal prosecutions.

...

Just weeks after the Brownsville doxxing incident, a gunman in tactical gear opened fire at a U.S. Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport. Police and Border Patrol agents engaged the shooter and ultimately killed him, but not before a McAllen officer was wounded.

She looks like a real Sad Sack unwanted AWFL, except Hispanic.

She'll be trading in her Trader Joe's Box Wine for Prison Toilet Wine.

sadsackawful.jpg

These women are filthy and disgusting. They support murder, and they crow righteously about their support of murder.

Speaking of seditious federal employees: Judge Boasberg.


Calls for the impeachment of James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, have intensified throughout this year.

What began as a partisan reaction to a single ruling has morphed into a broader debate about judicial ethics, political influence and the role of federal courts. The question now is whether Chief Justice John Roberts will act.

The initial push for impeachment came in March, after Judge Boasberg issued an order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport purported members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

President Trump responded sharply on social media, calling Boasberg a "Radical Left Lunatic," and posting on X that the judge "should be IMPEACHED!!!"


That same day, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill and five co-sponsors introduced articles of impeachment alleging Boasberg used "his judicial position to advance political gain" and obstructed "the President's constitutional prerogatives." The proposal drew some division within the Republican Party. Sen. John Kennedy, R.-La., called the proposal "idiotic," and Sen. John Cornyn, R.-Texas said, "You don't impeach judges who make decisions you disagree with."

Of course John Cornyn said that. Let's definitely send him back to the Senate, Texas.


The uproar also prompted a rare public statement from Chief Justice John Roberts: "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

...

Impeachment pressure intensified after Just the News reported that months before his Alien Enemies Act ruling, Boasberg traveled to Idaho to attend a privately-funded Rodel Institute legal conference. The conference's sponsors and speakers had publicly criticized Trump on immigration and January 6, and one of the conference sessions was titled "Role of Judges in a Democracy."

Critics argued that Boasberg's attendance created at least the appearance of bias. Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on the John Solomon Reports podcast that Boasberg's attendance at the Rodel Institute conference was "a creation of, obviously, a conflict of interest, at least in appearance" and that "when you have cases like this, you have to be absolutely above reproach."


...

Additional reporting revealed that Boasberg had spoken out about his belief that the Trump administration might disregard federal court rulings and provoke a constitutional crisis during a meeting of the Judicial Conference of the United States.

DOJ files misconduct complaint against Boasberg

...

The Department of Justice subsequently filed a misconduct complaint with the D.C. Circuit's Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, alleging that Boasberg violated Canons 1, 2(A), and 3(A)(6) of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges. These canons require federal judges to "uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary," "act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary," and to avoid "mak[ing] public comments on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court."

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the complaint publicly, saying that Boasberg's comments "undermined the integrity of the judiciary." DOJ urged Judge Srinivasan to refer the matter to a special investigative committee to determine whether Boasberg's conduct constituted "conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts."

And then it turned out, surprise surprise, that this leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp had been "randomly" assigned as the judge in the Arctic Frost fishing expedition, and, get this, the leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp reliably rubber stamped all the subpoenas to spy on Congressmen, and quite illegally ordered the subjects of the subpoenas to keep them secret from the Republican congressmen targeted.

But John Cornyn supports this illegal spying on his fellow Republican Senators. (Cornyn wasn't surveilled, of course!)

Impeachment efforts gained traction again late last month after Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a set of subpoenas issued during former Special Counsel Jack Smith's election-related investigation into Trump. The investigation, known internally at the FBI as "Arctic Frost," involved 197 subpoenas seeking records on roughly 430 Republican individuals and entities, according to committee documents.

The news brought Boasberg back into the spotlight as he signed the subpoenas and nondisclosure orders.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called on Boasberg to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding this role in the once-secret surveillance of Republican senators. "An Obama-appointed activist judge, James Boasberg, ordered [Verizon] not to tell me about Jack Smith's subpoena for my phone records, falsely claiming I might destroy so-called evidence," Blackburn posted on X. "He must answer before the Senate Judiciary Committee for this blatant abuse of power."

There's also that idea that what radicalized Hitler was all those people coming back from the future trying to kill him as a kid.

Hitler had a "spiritual" protector though. One night before his camp was bombed in WWI a loud shout in his dream telling him to "Get out!" woke him suddenly, and he ran from the camp, only to witness the camp get bombed.

I honestly don’t think people appreciate how hard and deep the effort is to undermine our country, and what it will look like if Democrats ever take power again. No constitutional right, no law, no regulation, no court stands in the way of what they want to do. Not a single offender has been brought to justice. In fact the Democrats who perpetrated these crimes are being freed one at a time by their subversives in the judiciary. The current attempt to undermine Trump is still a whole of government approach, and also involves NGO’s and foreign actors.

You can’t simply show up for one election, then sit back and complain. This is the point at which you persevere to preserve a future for the next generation. You can rest assured Democrats are not resting, are marshalling their forces and making certain they undermine the electoral process to the point you will never see a fair election again.

And nobody is stopping them. Especially the caitiffs in Congress.

I have a theory that The Trump Administration 2.0 is on a doxxing campaign. Basically he is letting the Left out themselves as deserving extreme justice (e.g. Sedition, Treason, Terrorism, etc.) he is making the case before the public.

The DOJ, including Patel and Bongino are not making arrests nor making any indictments because two things:
• everyone knows that Democrats are above the law and the law does not apply to them.
• telling Men of Action that there are no consequences for vigilantism.

As was mentioned before, they are laying down the kindling. There will be a flare, and there is no question as to who needs to be returned to Hell with extreme prejudice.

284 Shooting near White House: Two National Guard soldiers killed; suspect injured
TOI World Desk / TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Updated: Nov 27, 2025, 02:44 IST

In part, "Two National Guard soldiers were killed on Wednesday after a shooting near the White House in Washington DC. President Trump made a statement, assuring action, while also confirming that the shooter was wounded.
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey confirmed that the two National Guard died. The state has deployed its troops to the US capital on the orders of Trump.
“It is with great sorrow that we confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC, have succumbed to their injuries,” Morrisey said on X. “These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country.”

Rod Blagojevich: Obama Hadn't Even Joined the Senate Yet, and Michelle Obama Was Already on the Phones Demanding Democrats Arrange a Political Patronage Job for Her

I shan't believe this.

I simply shannot.

Remember when Michelle Obama was claiming to be Oppressed because, allegedly, she "couldn't work for two years" during the political campaign?

Well, the moment Obama's Senate campaign was over, she decided it was time to Cash In.


Blagojevich painted Obama as a calculating, self-serving politician who wasn't quite the ethical paragon he portrayed himself to be. "He's one of the more selfish people in politics on a one-on-one level," Blagojevich said, "and he's not pure like the driven snow in the sense of his ethics or morality." The former governor described Obama as "kind of cold and impersonal, but okay," and admitted he was initially happy to be helpful to the rising political star.

But the real bombshells came when Blagojevich discussed Michelle Obama's corrupt job hunt. According to Blagojevich, as soon as Barack Obama won his Senate race in 2004, Michelle felt entitled to get a high-paying patronage position somewhere. "I was asked to make a phone call on behalf of Michelle Obama 'cause as soon as he won the Senate race, she wanted a job either at Northwestern University or the University of Chicago Hospitals for two to $300,000 a year, the wife of the new senator," Blagojevich revealed.

"Northwestern was willing to pay $200,000 to hire her. This is the wife of the new U.S. senator," and obviously the position would bode well for any institution due to the potential for more federal money, he explained. Blagojevich noted that Michelle Obama ultimately got a better offer. "They got a better offer at the University of Chicago, which is in Hyde Park, where they're from, $300,000, and she ended up working there," he said. Blagojevich made the requested phone call, though he downplayed his role. "She didn't get it 'cause of me, but it didn't hurt to have the governor call."

He also discusses the Tony Resko real estate scam. The Obamas could not afford the mansion they wanted (as soon as Obama was elected to the Senate) with the extensive property they wanted. So the Obamas bought the mansion on one lot and had Tony Rezko buy the adjoining, not-built-upon lot "for himself" -- but he never did anything with it. He bought it so he could keep it in his name for the Obamas.

The mansion they bought with "their own money" was $7.5 million so you can imagine this adjoining lot was worth around a million itself.


What particularly galled Blagojevich was how Obama treated Rezko once the real estate developer became a political liability. "Rezko was really helpful, really helpful to Obama," he emphasized, explaining that when investigations heated up involving fundraising with Rezko as part of it, "Obama just ran from him, did nothing to help him, and pretends like he never knew him."


In case you missed it: The world's most miserable do-nothing millionaire Michelle Obama says black people can't swim because white people force them (like slaves) to straighten their hair all day long.

The former first lady, in a live podcast, recently said: "Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So, when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.

"That's why so many of us can't swim, and we run away from the water. People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our hair straight for y'all. It is exhausting, and it is so expensive, and it takes up so much time!"

Who knew that black women straighten their hair to conform to the expectations of whites? Even worse, who knew this oppressive white standard of beauty, according to Obama, has the real-world effect of preventing black kids from learning to swim?


Black people's hair is the new cotton field, pass it on.

48 I heard that real estate deal a bit different, but I don't know if there was hard evidence.

What I heard is that the mansion and lot were being sold as one parcel and the land was stripped out and sold to Rezko in order to reduce the price the Obamas paid. Most of the value was then in the land, which he did not develop, but "held" so the Obamas got the building for a greatly reduced price. (the land was worth more than the building, which is often the case for old properties in high value locations.)

The First Lady helped create a notorious program that dumped poor patients on community hospitals, yet the national media ignore the story. Imagine if her husband were a Republican.

Mrs. Obama first hatched the UCMC program as the "South Side Health Collaborative," which featured a gang of "counselors" whose job it was to "advise" low-income patients that they would be better off at other hospitals and clinics. The program was so successful in getting rid of unwanted patients that she expanded it, gave it a new name, and hired none other than David Axelrod to sell the program to the public.

I knew black girls in the 90s who only washed their hair once a week. Some have very fragile hair and it does not wash well. They keep it dry and oiled. It apparently is a real pain. So they use wigs or weaves, but that is another set of problems.

This has nothing to do with whites, but they are used to blaming everything on whites so why not. We are Christlike in our ability to absorb their sins without putting the lot of them onto boats back to the jungle.

You must not watch professional or college sports.

About 18% of active NFL players have dreadlocks or braids, and defensive players account for 60% of this group.

Dreadlocks are a very common hairstyle among college football players, reflecting a similar trend observed in the NFL where they make up a vast majority of long-haired players. The nature of the sport, with players wearing helmets, helps manage practical concerns like hair-pulling during tackles, which are legal as hair is considered part of the uniform in the NFL.

139 My romcom idea:
Love interest protagonist #1 is a campaign consultant for a grifting scummy pol that's being groomed for big things.

The setup is nobody likes the pol and he could never win. Any money given to the pol by the party would just be wasted. But he's THE guy, very compromised, so the party has an idea. Stand up someone on the other side, make them crazy, and pour tons of money and advertising into their campaign. Everyone will pick scummy guy just so crazy doesn't win.

Love interest #2, childhood friend of #1, lost touch after high school. Can't stand her town. Hates living there.

#2 agrees to be the terrible candidate, but won't accept money. She just hates the town and has fun with gonzo terrible campaign events. Lots of funny hijinks. Turns out she actually loves her town and the people after she gets to know them.

In the meantime #1 and #2 fall in love.

Also the voters really start preferring the terrible crazy candidate #2.

Scummy pol tries to take her out but she's saved heroically by #1

In the finale, she wins the election, then #1 and #2 live happily ever after.

The individuals were Clinton, Kerry, and Bill Richardson...and neither of them knew that the other two had been made the same promise. Eventually, he won the election, and Clinton received the position. The other two found out via the news media.

193 What I heard is that the mansion and lot were being sold as one parcel and the land was stripped out and sold to Rezko in order to reduce the price the Obamas paid. Most of the value was then in the land, which he did not develop, but "held" so the Obamas got the building for a greatly reduced price. (the land was worth more than the building, which is often the case for old properties in high value locations.)

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at November 26, 2025 02:19 PM

The Property Deals: In June 2005, Obama and his wife Michelle purchased a $1.65 million house in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago. Simultaneously, Tony Rezko's wife, Rita Rezko, purchased the adjacent vacant lot for $625,000. The original sellers required both parcels to be sold at the same time.

Price Disparity: The sellers dropped the asking price for the house by $300,000 for the Obamas, while the lot price remained high, which critics suggested might indicate Rezko had done Obama a favor. Obama's campaign stated the house had been on the market for some time and the lot had another offer, justifying the price differences.

Land Strip Sale: Months later, the Obamas bought a 10-foot-wide strip of the adjacent lot from Mrs. Rezko for $104,500 to expand their yard, a price they maintained was fair market value.

Rezko's Financial Situation and Indictment: The controversy intensified because the land purchase by Mrs. Rezko occurred when Tony Rezko was deeply in debt and facing lawsuits from creditors.

🚨 BREAKING FROM D.C. - National Guard Members Shot Near the White House

I will be giving LIVE UPDATES.

Chaos erupted just steps from the White House this afternoon after multiple National Guard members were shot in downtown Washington, D.C. The scene immediately filled with law enforcement, emergency responders, and tactical units as police locked down several blocks surrounding 17th & I Street NW.

Then Michelle went on at that hospital to violate EMTALA Federal Law. I read (years ago, so no source) that she wanted to avoid the poors and downtrodden coming there by ambulance and would have them sent to other hospitals like Chicago General Hospital. To protect their stats for Joint Commission. I remain positive, until someone tells me otherwise, that this is why she lost her law license.

You NEVER divert ambulances unless the ED is full and there is no staff or room. Or the power is out, etc.

Busy here with prep for tomorrow's dinner. We are making traditional sides (well, traditional for Southern redneck that I brought to the table). I am famous for my Pecan Pie, so I am also making that.

I know that this is really hard to believe, but, there are actually Caucasian, Asian, and Latino women born with all types of hair including curly hair. Amazing!

Swimming - The reasons are many - adult blacks that don't know how to swim are double than the adult pop in general. Urban living with lack of access to pools and swim lessons, fear of water, etc. When I joined the Coast Guard and we started our indoor swimming trials in an Olympic size pool, there was a smaller, shallow pool next to it where black recruits who didn't know how to swim were giving swimming lessons first. They were mostly from the Southern rural areas or North Eastern cities. All races but blacks had to know how to swim to even be considered for enlistment in the CG.

Incredible: A Jury Voted Unanimously to Convict Yet Another Somali Fraudster, Calling His Guilt "Obvious."
Then the Leftwing Judge Set Aside Their Verdict and Set the Somali Free, Based On Her "Feelings."

The Somalis scammed the government's welfare programs again. The Somalis here ripped off the American citizens for $7.2 million, running a scam organization that supposedly delivered health care to poor people out of his mailbox, and spending that money on luxury goods and sports cars.

The prosecutors proved that 94% of the money they stole from the government went into their own pockets.

Jurors found him guilty, unanimously.


Then the "progressive" judge stepped in an invalidated the verdict, saying that in her personal opinion, the prosecutors had not disproven other possibilities besides fraud, like, I guess, the possibility that they accidentally stole this money and intended to deliver it to the poor at some future date. (Were they planning on returning their luxury goods and cars? How much did they expect to get back for used luxury goods?)

@amuse

SUICIDAL EMPATHY: A Minnesota Democrat judge just overturned a unanimous jury verdict in a $7.2M Medicaid fraud case, freeing Islamic defendant Abdi Fatah Yusuf. Jurors say the evidence was overwhelming.

Despite a swift unanimous verdict, Judge Sarah S. West, a former public defender, acquitted Abdi Fatah Yusuf on all charges after jurors found he and his wife ran a fake home-health business out of a mailbox and stole $7.2M in Medicaid funds. Jurors say they are stunned because the evidence of fraud, overbilling and luxury spending was "obvious." Community pressure and political considerations are now being blamed for the decision. Yusuf walks free while taxpayers eat the loss.

Abdi will get to keep his new wardrobe from Coach, Canada Goose, Michael Kors, Third Degree Heat, Nike, and Nordstrom and his [new top-end sportscar,] a Porsche 911.

h/t @WallStreetApes

Suicidal empathy? Or personal enrichment?

This is outrageous -- and considering the *fact* that Somalia is the world's most corrupt country, we have to investigate this judge's finances and the finances of her friends and family for a payoff.

This is -- or was -- the nation's "biggest Medicaid fraud case."

The prosecutors are appealing the judge's corrupt negation of the law.


Meanwhile, it sure seems that a sizable fraction of the Somalis we allowed into this country view us as outsiders to their tribe, not deserving of the usual dignity and respect one affords to people within the tribe.

And I say that because they're committing crimes against native-born Americans as if they view us as an enemy tribe it's ethically permissible to rob and abuse.

Leftists meanwhile excuse the criminality as showing they're just cool capitalists who know how to abuse an easy mark.

Obviously white people would not be excused for preying on minorities, stealing from them, even raping them. You know this from the simple fact that anytime there is a Race Hoax, which there is once a month, the entire leftwing establishment goes crazy to say "This must not be normalized!"

Well, it's not normalized. It's the opposite of normalized. It's so rare, in fact, that racist agitators have to invent hate crimes against them.

The left has established that Racism -- Racial Superiority -- is the worst of all conceivable crimes.

Yet we have people coming into the western countries and treating the native populations as if they are sub-humans, fit for rape, robbery, and murder. Some of these Cultural Enrichers act as if they believe westerners are a prey species they have a divine right to predate upon.

And no one says boo. Because, of course, only white people or westerners can be Racist. Other people treating other races as if they are subhuman are just acting in accordance with Cultural Norms Which Must be Respected and also might just be getting some Justified Reparations from Colonizers (even though it's the migrants who are colonizing the west).

Do I get to say "This must not be normalized, racial hatred must be called out as evil and extirpated from the earth," or nah?

Nah, right?

Females exist for the purpose of being semen receptacles. Anything else is unnatural. The "opinion" of the female on the matter is irrelevant, since she does not have a human soul, and thus can not have an opinion.

Result? The same in all cases. The high-trust society rapidly disintegrates, and those who broke the social contract rise to dominance.

Sadly, a lot of this blame has to be laid at the feet of supposedly well meaning but financially strapped Churches across America. In Minnesota, it was mostly the Lutherans, but the Mormons have done this, and of course the Roman Catholic Church is guilty as well.
Here was the play - as populations aged, all of these church organizations found themselves more and more strapped for cash, but they discovered this marvelous government program that reimbursed them several times over for bringing "refugees" into America and resettling them. This quickly became a vast profit making operation across the US. In Somalia, the local Lutheran Churches "sponsored" thousands of Somali immigrants, and made millions of tax free dollars for doing it.

Meaning, if it must be spelled out, that this overrides all other laws, all institutions, all constitutions. For the simple reason that if the Public has no safety, then there is NO law, and very soon there will be no nation, as it collapses into chaos and civil war.

126 Judge sets aside conviction.

Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing (UJMvS) at November 26, 2025 01:37 PM (UJMvS)

127 It's automatic that, prior to the case being sent to the jury, the defense makes a motion to dismiss, claiming the prosecution has failed to make its case. So this judge, Sarah West, had a perfect opportunity to throw the case out. Yet chose to send the case to the jury where they quickly found the perp guilty. So throwing out the verdict AFTER a jury verdict and AFTER over-ruling a motion to dismiss, it's clear this judge was either bribed, threatened or politically shamed into doing what she did. Judical corruption, not matter what.

Eyewitness testimony is damn near useless, but you're supposed to believe it's the sine qua non of the prosecutorial arts.

Posted by: kallisto at November 26, 2025 01:24 PM (dCxaZ)


The problem is that the answer depends on so many variables such as your weight, your pace or time walked, the average slope of your walk. You can put it sample data into a calorie calculator and see how little activity 3 miles/day actually is when it comes to burning calories.

For example, 190#, 3 miles, 1 hour, flat ground burns about 350 calories, which is less than about two average snacks, and it is also about the difference in recommended caloric intake between sedentary 31-50 yo woman and active 31-50 yo woman (1,800 v 2,200) for just maintaining weight.

So, yeah, you're probably right to call BS, because if you really want to lose weight, it will take discipline to curb poor eating and/or dedication to a more vigorous exercise routine that burns more calories than that two snacks or that "splurge" sugary mocha.

140 So I guess Minnesomalia is now just like the UK, where they have decided to get rid of jury trials for most crimes.

How long before the Marxist left decides this should be the norm in the USA as well. Or just bypasses this and has their corrupt judges do it on their own like this Minnesomalia judge did.

The UK government, under Justice Secretary David Lammy, has proposed radical reforms to the criminal justice system in England and Wales. These changes would eliminate jury trials for the vast majority of serious criminal cases, reserving them only for the most grave offenses like murder, rape, and manslaughter. All other cases — such as assaults, burglaries, frauds, and sexual offenses not involving rape — would be decided by a single judge alone.

144 The specific legal reason this ruling needs to be overturned:
The Judge said that the Prosecution didn't consider "other explanations" for the Defendant's behavior, only presenting the case for illegality.
Except that's what the Prosecution's job is.
It is the Defense which is supposed to present other explanations, and try to make them sound plausible.
It is the Juries job to decide.
And the Judges only true job is to preside.

This Judge wrongfully characterized the Prosection's case, ignored the Defense, and inserted herself as a Jury of One in complete defiance of all law.

That waterhead mayor of Chicago Johnson was whining the other day after that Chicago can't end its crime problem by putting people in prison. Bukele answered by saying that is the entire point of prison and posted a graph that perfectly illustrates that when El Salvador started handing out stiff sentences to violent criminals the violent crime rate cratered.

The left tries to appease their minority base by being soft on crime. Not only doesn't it work for obvious reasons the biggest victims are other minorities. All that money the scumbag in MN stole was targeted for poor and largely minority people.

150 Found another case this Judge handled. Some guy with a list of felonies (Terrel Brown) in his history (we're talking over 10 previous felonies)....entered a bar with a gun and attempted to kill some guy. He failed, but was arrested on about 11 different charges, most felonies and put into the system. The first Judge (not West) ignored the severity and history and took the assigned five year term (which was low anyway)...and put him on a work release program and a half way house. To which he didn't show up.

West got the case when he was captured for violating his sentence and instead of tossing him in prison for the five year term. SHE, gave him the work release program again, and gave him time served for the period in which he didn't show up. This Judge is on a mission...

192 The combo of an idiotic electorate, corrupt election process, and the Legal Cult is a touch one to overcome.

The Cult still has a death-grip (term used advisedly) over 99.5% of all lawyers and judges and even "conservative" politicals, including the current administration. Simplified version: this cult is one that cannot even imagine repudiation of any court at any level for any unlawful or destructive action, regardless of consequences to national ssecurity, public safety, or the (remnants of) constitutional order.

My favorite was a district judge in the last few months who took and started ruling in an immigration case the kind of which he is expressly excluded from hearing by the Immigration Act, as amended. A simple - and scorching and vitriolic - letter from the DOJ excoriating the judge for violating the law, and informing him that his court would properly be ignored in this matter, was all that was needed. Instead, mewllng compliance.

Such an action would also give the pathetic SCOTUS its final chance to try and rescue some of the legitimacy of the system, by disciplining the inferior courts - its responsibility.

Females exist for the purpose of being semen receptacles. Anything else is unnatural. The "opinion" of the female on the matter is irrelevant, since she does not have a human soul, and thus can not have an opinion.

It is interesting to note that, around the mid-'70s, the Twin Cities (and Minnesota?) took in a large number of Hmong tribesfolk from Laos. They chose to assimilate, as they had worked with U.S. forces in S.E. Asia. I'd guess that having worked toward a common cause helped make that happen.

We do not have a common cause with the Somalis, and now we are reaping the fruits of that. When Ilhan Omar speaks of her obligation to Somalia despite being a representative for this country, could that absence of a common cause be any clearer?

After leaving private law practice and working in public service, Michelle Obama worked for the University of Chicago Medical Center starting in 2002, becoming Vice President for Community and External Affairs in 2005.

In this role, she helped create the "Urban Health Initiative," a program designed to help uninsured patients find community health centers for basic care, rather than using the emergency room. This was a patient redirection program, not an instance of the hospital "turning out" the who needed emergency care.

Really?

She was also on unpaid leave from her hospital vice president role during her husband's 2008 presidential campaign.

Axios: Your Turkey Has a Carbon Footprint and You Are Destroying the Environment by Celebrating Thanksgiving

Of course, of course.

You probably won't ponder your carbon footprint when you sit down to devour that Thanksgiving turkey -- but some food and climate activists say you should.

Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers' priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.

The big picture: The beloved bird is considered more environmentally friendly than beef. But turkey still produces, in production and post-production, the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming -- even more than chicken, according to the Environmental Working Group.

"Raising and processing a four-ounce turkey serving is the equivalent of nearly three miles' worth of tailpipe emissions," said Iris Myers, the group's senior communications manager.

A four ounce turkey?

Axios is a professionally edited media publication.

...

In 2016, Carnegie Mellon researchers calculated the state-by-state footprint of a typical feast, including roast turkey stuffed with sausage and apples, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.

They found that meals prepared in Washington state and Vermont emitted the lowest amounts of carbon dioxide. Hydropower and wind provide about two-thirds of Washington's energy. while renewables provide almost all of Vermont's.

States that rely more on coal, such as Wyoming, West Virginia and Kentucky, had the highest Turkey Day emissions, the researchers found.

This is important research that I have been compelled to fund.

By the numbers: Thrown-away food is a big contributor to climate change. A new analysis by the anti-food waste group ReFED estimates that 320 million pounds of food will get tossed out this Thanksgiving.

That's the equivalent of more than 800,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or about the same as driving 190,000 gasoline-powered vehicles for a year, ReFED said.

Of those emissions, 4,800 metric tons of methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- come from sending that food to landfills.

The bottom line: "Try not to buy more bird than you and your family will eat," Myers said.

Wellllll... generally I would say of course no one should buy and cook more food than they expect to eat, but Thanksgiving is an exception, because, of course, no one knows how many relatives and guests will show up. People make "too much food" because they don't want neighbors to show up without anything to offer them.

But most people will wind up eating most of that over the course of the week.

Thank you for ruining literally everything, Sanctimonious Sociopaths Satanic-Religious Fanatics.

Speaking of your carbon footprint: It is now cheaper to expand your carbon footprint than it's been since, well, Trump's first term.

Gas prices -- and food prices, and rent prices -- are at their lowest levels since covid shutdowns and Biden's printing of trillions of fake dollars.


Is everyone ready?

And is everyone here? Or are you already playing hooky?

I'm playing half-hooky. I wrote a bunch of posts last night and did a couple this morning so I'm kind of done for the day unless there's some breaking news. Knock wood!

Today's blogging won't be good. I aimed for "barely acceptable" and I nearly hit that mark. I figure most of you are tuned out, and the news is slow before and during holidays. (Again, knock wood.)


I have to run out to the store to get the holiday branded "Creamy Vanilla" Coke Zero. The store I tried to order from was out. I guess this is a new version of Vanilla Coke.

Question for you cooks: I have both an electronic thermometer and those little plastic pop-up turkey thermometers. Do those little plastic ones work well? If they're a couple of years old, do they still work?

Garsh I wouldn't want to produce even one excess CO2 molecule more than strictly necessary!

The pop-up ones are useless and lead to an overcooked bird, and turkey is already difficult enough to make well.

Use your electronic one.

If you want to invest in a really good one, get a Thermapen One. Yes it's $90 but it's also the Ferrari of meat thermometers.

29 Self-willowed:

As I started approaching 29, I occasionally found myself indulging in the "If Only"s.

If only I'd done this, if only I'd done that...not that I hated my life or anything like that. I just felt I might've done better.

Then one night I suddenly realized, when I examined the whole idea thoroughly, that any of those changes giving me a "perfect" life, would mean that I wouldn't have the lovely and exciting Mrs naturalfake or the kiddos.

And no that would simply be intolerable. They are the best thing in my life and we as a family, despite our ups and downs, despite some hard times, have been very blessed by God.

And furthermore, I was being a huge dickweed to God by not acknowledging his complete generosity and being grateful for it. So, I decided that I needed to change the way I think.

I try to end every day thanking God for my life and my family I grew up in and my own family now, and for the day.

Anyway, these are the things in my life i'm most thankful for.

83 Re pop up. Ditto--they are unreliable. Electronic with a wireless probe are useful if you have already made sure that it works as to temperature consistency and wireless connectivity.

FWIW, Roasting pans with a cooking rack inside it are useful if cooking something large like a Turkey.

They tend to keep temperatures consistent and moisture in balance so the turkey does not dry out.

High fat content meat does not require it but the drippings from such are usually delicious and well worth using in gravy or other cooking as well.

125 Question for you cooks: I have both an electronic thermometer and those little plastic pop-up turkey thermometers. Do those little plastic ones work well? If they're a couple of years old, do they still work?

I've seen no studies on their reliability, but the plastic ones are generally now held to be unreliable. Of course, those opinions may come from people who make $100 electronic ones.

I used to think that all the time, I used to think about those threads. What if I never went into music, what if I just took over my father's business, or cut my hair and took that 75K a year job..in 1990, and on and on. It all pointed to the fact that I wouldn't be here in this form, unrecognizable. No Mrs B, different friends, different house...no, I'm exactly where I need to be.

174 Oh boy, a process engineering question! My time to, well not shine, but maybe give off a dim glow if you turn out the lights and squint.

The pop up ones are not as accurate, but they are better than nothing. Their true advantage is that they are placed (generally) at the right depth and that is more important than accuracy. The problem with the electronic ones is people poke them in too deep or too shallow or into the wrong part, or they don't give them time to react.

The plastic is FDA approved (our food sees a lot of plastic before it gets to the table. Many foods are cooked or pasteurized in plastic) and the mechanism is reliable, even when a few years old.

It wasn't that busy, they guys were just slow as molasses and I still had an hour left over.

222 Kid made my crumble topping - she made enough for 2.5 of my sweet potato tins...so I used more than I would to top the potatoes and then still saved a bag of topping. Told her we'd just do a 2nd fruit-type crumble on Fri/Sat if we run out of a leftover side...I've got discounted Aldi's mixed fruit bags in my freezer that would make it a 5 minute prep.

Glad I kept overall quality control for cooking. She wants to do more to help Thanksgiving, but it's growing pains. Although better she made way too much than too little...

Plural Form of "Symposium"

The plural form of "symposium" is "symposia."
Alternative Plural Form

Another acceptable plural form is "symposiums."
Usage

Symposia is commonly used in academic and formal contexts.
Symposiums is also correct and can be used interchangeably in less formal settings.

Both forms refer to gatherings where experts discuss specific topics or present research.

Lastly, that "typical feast" isn't, at my house. Lamb, roast beast, no apples in my dressing, potato knishes, homemade corn bread, all kinds of veggies (no mushroom soup in anything!), and sometimes a bacon-wrapped turkey breast (because we just won't a whole turkey among 4 of us).

------

Two things, you gained some muscle, which weighs more than fat. Also, you may have mis-remembered your "before" weight. Because I know when I was training for a half-marathon that running anything more than 10 miles in a go would spike the calories burned to be the equivalent of living TWO days in a one day period. So if you were running and biking and swimming to the level of training that you would need to complete a Triathalon, I bet you didn't gain any weight.

Vanilla was so damn popular a hundred years ago that when marketing strategies were applied to offer bargain versions of everything, it became the default value for a lot of tastes, and was diluted, substituted, and generally looted. You can go through a whole lifetime of just letting vanilla happen by not ordering something ritzier, but if you ever get served real full-strength specialty vanilla, it's a real eye-opener. Also?

People wear pajama bottoms and houseshoes everywhere. I’m a headbanger and I don’t go around dressed to the nines either but good Shahinshah I wear a t-shirt and jeans that show recent signs of being washed and dried. It isn’t that hard.

Saw a guy on facebook talking about not washing birds before cooking.

He put a ton of seasoning on it to simulate germs.
He sets it on top of and across a divided sink so the turkey is actually sitting above the sink. He then uses the strongest fine point stream spray possible to blow it everywhere.

My father was a guitar player in the 50's. He was from the same area as the four seasons and frankie valli, so they somewhat traveled in the same circles. Well, the guitar player at that time got sick, and they needed a replacement for upcoming shows. My father had met with the bass player to go through songs and get up to speed. The original guitar player had recovered and didn't have the longer term illness as they were expecting, so my father didn't need to fill in. My father stayed with his own band and met my mother right after. He would have never met my mother had he got that job.

Strongly disagree. They just don't understand the difference between intention and effect.

They wouldn't want to feel like they don't want people to experience joy, because that sounds like that would make them a bad person. So "Of course" they want joy! (Narcissism) They want to wear all words that sound like they're the better person.

I agree just as much as anybody that the left is about POWER. But that all has to do with the disagreement between intention and consequence. Once you wipe away the clouds of their "good" intent, you're left with the only aspect that contacts reality which is POWER to do their "good intents".

Eh, depends. You can touch it without issues. You can even swallow some without harming yourself. Just don't do it regularly. But if it's vaporized? It'll kill ya quick.

Again, it's about feasibility. It's vastly easier to equally distribute misery than wellbeing.

So, that's what ends up being done, especially because you have a bunch of people with academic models swirling in their heads about how the world "should be"--and how it's in their hands to chart a course to there.

Also reality, is human self-interest. Corruption happens in all sorts of Marx-themed systems. Even Xi wants to be rewarded per his "contribution", rather than just feed it into the system to get only what he needs.

452 Here's the rub, elemental mercury vaporizes really, really easily. Even at room temperature it's slowly evaporating. Raise the temperature just a bit above room temp and you can start to have problems.

Vapor pressure of mercury is very, very low. .0075 mm/Hg at room temperature.

456 Ignore the haters, Ace, I’m a fan of the Vanilla Coke (or in my case, Vanilla Coke Zero). I actually like adding a couple ounces of cold brew concentrate to it as a pick-me-up.

I’m a sucker for holiday Coke mixes too but this Creamy Vanilla holiday mix just tastes like a subpar Vanilla Coke to me. It’s better from the Coke Freestyle machine than it is in cans.

457 Skip the thermometer for the turkey. Just listen for the smoke alarm to go off.

Ignoring that there is more than 4 oz on the turkey and more than 1 turkey in the facility making them.

460 Thinking over the pop up thermometers in the few turkeys I've made: One or two failed entirely due to damage, the other two popped up at about the right time. I have a metal probe thermometer.

461 Lol
Thank you Ace for alerting us to these dangers. Without you most people would never be aware of these dangers.
Environmental Working Group also strongly acknowledges your strong anti vaccine support.
One of the biggest reasons Our Dear leader had the courage and foresight to choose Robert Kennedy Jr as his Secretary of A health was his strong anti vax position with which we are 100% on agreement.


Actually the EWG is regularly criticized by the "left" for simply being a dhill for organic companies. They still got them just as Heartland I Institutes shills for its own cohort of donors

I'm shocked you imply his home defibrillator setup in case his dog has heart spasms and his diligent testing of the device to make sure it is working is cruel.

463 Use electronic thermometer. The plastic ones are often set to pop out at 185 degrees I am told, which is too high. Cook your bird to 155-160 and let rest, it will raise to 165 which is what you want, and not dry out breast meat so much.

465 The largest source of mercury contamination is from burning coal
Burning 500 million tons each year in the USA valirizes about 100 tons of mercury into our air

466 Key being "repeated or continuous". It's pretty hard to get poisoned from casual contact with the stuff. It really won't enter via the skin. Long-term inhalation or ingestion, maybe. The real risk comes from simple or organic salts of the metal. True also for lead.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 26, 2025 01:12 PM (npFr7)

At the lab in college we had an Americium alpha source for testing detection equipment. Alphas go a few cm in the air at best and can't penetrate your skin so the many dire warnings on the box it was in seemed too much. Once I said this to a labmate and told him the only way it could hit much is if you inhaled it. Next day the box had "Do not inhale" on it.

467 Your Turkey Has a Carbon Footprint

Yeah...sometimes I have to hose the driveway off after they troop through.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc. at November 26, 2025 01:12 PM (XeU6L)

You have to deduct the huge amount of carbon IN THE TURKEY. protein, fats, carbohydrates all are made of carbon atoms plus others.

468 So they're admitting catalytic converters don't work. Another trillion $$ hoax:

"Raising and processing a four-ounce turkey serving is the equivalent of nearly three miles' worth of tailpipe emissions," said Iris Myers, the group's senior communications manager.

469 If a woman walks 3 miles a day, would she lose weight fairly quickly? Or at least trim down a bit?
——

How long is a piece of string? Tell her to put the fork down. (Nicely!, not quite that blunt)

It takes hours to burn off a big spoonful of peanut butter. I lost 80 pounds doing much of nothing, other than ordinary stuff like mowing the lawn and reading AOS comments.

600 to 800 calories - fairly rapid weight loss. 900 to 1100 calories a day a moderate rate. Everything is else is bullshit. It won’t hurt, indeed it will help, but exercise is more or less a distraction from the process. There’s more bullshit out there about fat loss than anything. You can figure out why if you think about it a little bit.

470 There are only two amounts of food: too much and not enough. Obviously one aims for the former!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the lovely people here!

471 Another bunch of intellectual Idiots with sawdust for Brains their as stupid as PETA with these stupid studies they do. Frankly they should get their fingers pinched in their slide rules. their sounding as stupid as those who claim Livestock add to Global Warming/Climate Change and we the Tax Payers are paying for t his kind of nonsense

472 This is garbage. The carnegie study does not account for either leftovers or bones. The Pittsburgh gals, known for being obese before it became the trendy waystation to lesbianims, also forgot that very few people throw away food after the Thanksgiving meal. Perhaps it is because what should have lasted a week, they managed to eat the next day.

473 A four ounce turkey SERVING, not a four ounce turkey.

Gawd, even when you're right, sometimes you're an embarrassment.
