FBI Seizes Electronic Devices from Eric Swalwell's Home, As Part of Investigation Into Alleged Sexual Assaults
This guy.
And if it just so happens they discover information about his choice to accept sketchy donations from Chinese government agents, that's how it goes.Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 2h BREAKING: Per sources familiar to me & colleague @davidspunt, as part of an ongoing federal probe, the FBI seized former Congressman Eric Swalwell's electronics at his home in DC on Sunday. Nobody was home. We are also told the FBI seized his electronics from him at San Francisco airport (SFO) on Saturday. Swalwell was not detained or placed under arrest. We are told this probe is in relation to the sexual misconduct allegations against Swalwell. FBI is not commenting. @FoxNews has reached out to Swalwell's attorney for comment.
CNN adds a little background.
Boy lawfare was sure fun.... until it wasn't, huh? I hope they also turn up information about Rep. Gomez and Reuben Gallego, Swalwell's fellow "Cool Club Clique" adulterers and assaulters.
Swalwell resigned from Congress in April after reporting from CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle detailed allegations of sexual misconduct. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department opened criminal investigations into Swalwell in the wake of the reporting. The raids this weekend are part of a federal investigation connected to the claims of sexual assault, the sources told CNN. Three women who have spoken publicly about sexual misconduct allegations against Swalwell also told CNN they spoke with the FBI. This story was updated to reflect that three women say they have been contacted by the FBI.

The Washington Post Fact Checker awarded "Four Pinocchios" to then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in 2023 for making unsubstantiated claims and suggesting Eric Swalwell engaged in inappropriate behavior with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative (Christine Fang), noting that Swalwell had cooperated with authorities and cut off contact.
The Washington Post found no evidence of illegal activity or sexual/improper impropriety by Swalwell, reporting that U.S. officials indicated Swalwell cut ties as soon as the FBI provided a defensive briefing.

Moderate Centrist Normal Completely Heterosexual Candidate James Talarico Backs Knife-Murderer Karmelo Anthony: "The System Is Not Working for Black Texans"
He just gets more centrist and normal and Christian every single day.
By the way, the media is reporting the judge was removed from sentencing because he was "biased." They don't tell you what that means. They want you to infer that he is racially biased. Nope. The "bias" consisted of him saying, post-conviction, "the jury got it right." I don't even understand how this is "bias." A judge can form impressions from a case, just like a jury. In fact, if a judge believes the jury got it very wrong -- so wrong their judgment cannot be said to be based on the evidence -- he is allowed (required, actually) to set aside the jury's judgment and enter his own judgment. So how can it be "bias" to merely agree with a jury whose judgment is based 100% on the obvious facts? Two-tiered justice -- it's actually an American innovation. It began with Derek Chauvin. Actually it began long before that. That's when it became just accepted leftwing cult doctrine that white people are subject to a different law than "oppressed" minorities.
Talarico Backs Karmelo Anthony in Divisive Murder Case: Says Black Teen's Conviction for Stabbing White Football Star Shows 'System Is Not Working for Black Texans'
On Wednesday, Anthony scored a major victory getting the original judge removed from the case
Chuck Ross
August 19, 2026
James Talarico has waded into the racially charged case of the murder of teenage football standout Austin Metcalf, with the Texas Democratic Senate nominee throwing his support behind Metcalf's convicted killer, Karmelo Anthony, now 19. Anthony's attorneys are back in a Texas courtroom on Thursday, seeking a new trial, and on Wednesday succeeded--in a significant win--in having the judge from the original trial removed. Talarico, in an interview on a black radio show earlier this month, said the conviction of Anthony, a black teenager who fatally stabbed Metcalf, who was white, at a high school track meet in Frisco, is proof that the criminal justice system "is not working for black Texans." "Right now we've got a system that doesn't serve all Americans equally, and, and we know that black Texans have been, um, have not gotten the justice they deserve," said Talarico, a member of the Texas House of Representatives. Talarico offered that controversial take during an August 5 interview on The Breakfast Club, a popular New York City talk radio show that has been a proving ground of sorts for white Democrats who seek to woo black voters. In 2016, Hillary Clinton proclaimed on the show that she carries around hot sauce in her purse, a claim that host Charlamagne tha God said sounded like she was "pandering to black voters." In 2020, Joe Biden said on the show that "if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." In his interview, Talarico was asked to respond to a viral clip from last month that showed him emphatically nodding along as a woman at a town hall called the Anthony conviction a "tragedy." ... Talarico appeared on The Breakfast Club as he struggles to woo black voters following a bitter primary fight against Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a black Democrat from Dallas (and a regular on The Breakfast Club). Crockett, who has likewise defended Anthony, accused Talarico of running "a racist race" in the primary. Talarico came under fire for allegedly referring to former Senate candidate Colin Allred as a "mediocre black man." Talarico has embraced other hot-button policies in an appeal to black voters. He denounced the SAVE Act, which would strengthen ID requirements to vote, as an attempt to "rob" black voters. He recently endorsed the idea of reparations for slavery, stating that "repairing past harms is part of my faith tradition."
One thing to ponder... Karmelo got $600K for murdering some random white guy but Lindsay Clancy got $900k for murdering her own kids. So perhaps Karmelo does have an argument for the unfairness of all this right? Posted by: 18-1

There are post-trial motions pending before him, all of which are gonna be some form of "the jury got it wrong." So of course the murderer's defense team seized on this "bias" that the judge already pre-judged the motions.
This was a big unforced error and gift to the defense. Do I think it will change anything? No, I don't. This was an open and shut case that never shoulda gone to trial.

Yep. Jasmine Crockett has been vocal about saying black voters who got shit on by their own party need to stay home in November; Talarico knows that if that happens, he doesn't even get out of the 30's in the general election.
So he is doing his best Mr. Bojangles impression every day now. Of course this is kind of a problem with his other message that he's a Ordinary Truck Driving Meat Eating Texas Guy who is Just Like All of You.

Ken Paxton needs to follow this rule. He should not be aiming to get people to vote for him over Target Talerico. He should be aiming to have millions of Texans HATE Talerico and wish harm on him.
This would have the added benefit of creating a very angry set of voters who can be depended on to use violence when necessary, such as when Democrats, being the effeminate, draft dodging cowards they are, attack women and children.

Paxton has a track record.
So does Talarico.
Paxton has done wonderful things for Texas, was dragged into court where he was proven INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES due to an overwhelming LACK OF EVIDENCE against him.
Talarico has gone onto the floor of the State Capitol and announce that trans kids are the best kids, Jesus was non-binary and he hates Christianity.
Now he's openly fellating the black community in an effort to get them back on the Democrat plantation.
He is a true piece of shit.

I think as said above, Talarico is doing this in desperation rather than strength because he is lagging in black urban support that he needs. They won't vote for Paxton but may not show up at all for the polls. In the end, building coalitions based on identity becomes handicapped by each identity group wanting someone that looks like them on the ballot.
AWFLs want white women, Hispanic racialists want a Hispanic of whatever country origin is a majority in that state, black racialists want a black on the ticket, and political gays want a deviant--with the new twist of trans queerism.

Why were there no black members of the jury, Jimmy? There was blacks among the selection pool. Why didn't any of them get picked? You'd think that would be a priority for the defense.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 20, 2026 12:20 PM (ExV1e)
We've talked about this often. First, to say it was an "all white" jury only works if you say those of hispanic and asian ancestry are "white".
Second, every black jury pool member, when questioned, said for the record that they thought they'd be biased and could not make an impartial judgment. Automatic disqualification.
I and others have opined that this was almost certainly deliberate, an easy way to get off the jury if you knew your community was going to be furious if you returned a guilty verdict. None of them wanted to have anything to do with it.

I was close enough to hear the answers.
One guy was related to a defendant. Another guy was related to a cop on the case, so he let those two go.
The rest were things like "I don't like cops".
So the judge sat those people on the jury and sent the rest of us home. I had to chuckle as I left...

The scumbag has already been sentenced to 35 years, so that can't be it.
When I read something about the recusal thing somewhere, it said the judge had been removed from the appeal. But that doesn't make sense either, as the judge's rulings are presumably what's being appealed. What would his involvement even be at a higher level court?

There are post-trial motions pending before him, all of which are gonna be some form of "the jury got it wrong." So of course the murderer's defense team seized on this "bias" that the judge already pre-judged the motions.
This was a big unforced error and gift to the defense. Do I think it will change anything? No, I don't. This was an open and shut case that never shoulda gone to trial.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at August 20
Its too bad the judge, who was good, gave any interview regardless of brief and innocuous it was. The other defense arguments of 'bias' were that the judge didnt have an overflow room set up to watch the trial and thag he enforced strict procedural rules- which just shows how desperate the defense is.

It's more subtle that that. The case is still pending. There are or will be post-trial motions that this judge would have had to decide. The gist of most of the motions are gonna be some form of "the jury got it wrong."
That's where the potential "bias" comes in: the judge, in publicly saying the jury got it right, is arguably pre-judging the outcome of the post-trial motions.
I think the court was correct to nip this in the bud and replace the judge. Better to get a new judge who hasn't (foolishly) shot his mouth off about the case and opened the door to bias charges.
I don't think a new judge will change anything. They got this murderer dead to rights.

The only argument which has ever united the Dems is "I'll fuck over straight, white, Christian, men and give you the money."

I believe this is a Request for a new Trial, which in Texas can happen at the lower court level before it moves on to a higher Court of Appeals. Very rare for this kind of motion to ever be granted, but it's a way for lawyers to convince paying clients that they've tried everything.
If this fails, then they'll immediately appeal to a higher court. The burden at every level is that they have to find an actual Error of Law in order to overturn a Jury's verdict.

It won't in a democracy. The ugly facts are that absent an immediate external enemy that requires everyone to support a particular government for common defense to survive, that people can and will vote for people like themselves. Belgium is split by language, so is Canada, Catholic/Protestant mattered in Germany, Ethnicity in Italy, N. and S. Italy.
And there will always be politicians that seek to build power on a base of stirring up religious, ethnic, race, or even disparities in wealth. Humans are tribal animals-some can overcome the programming to some extent but the happiest countries are usually homogeneous in likes, tastes, culture, and desires or they have no political competition because they have their own despot ruling them.

_________
The reporting on the case is confusing because most reporters are hacks who don't understand the basics of the subjects they're reporting on.
The case isn't on "appeal" yet. The case is still in the trial court, at the post-trial motion stage. These motions will be some form of "a new trial is needed" and will be heard by the trial judge.
It won't go up on appeal until after the judge rules on these motions.

heh - Error's of Law have a well defined meaning, which is that you must be able to point to an actual piece of black letter Law and say "here is how that law was violated during the conduct of the trial." Doesn't happen often, unless someone like Donald Trump or Derek Chauvin is the defendant.

HELP you guys! Our insurance (State Farm) has after 22 years cancelled our insurance due to what they say is not having proper gutters (gutters were on the house since we bought it and have annual cleanings with proof) and not having trees away from the house (we just had $7200 worth of tree work done because of what they said).
What do we do now? They seem to be unable too send an actual adjuster to the house and only ask for photos which they seem think do not show what they want.

KARMELO ANTHONY BOMBSHELL:
Karmelo Anthony's girlfriend, Valeria, went to the school the morning of the Austin Metcalf stabbing, April 2, 2025, and told school officials she had broken up with Anthony and he was stalking her. One hour later, Austin was dead at the track meet, according to Collin County prosecutor Bill Wirskye who revealed at Karmelo Anthony's hearing for a new trial today.
"I'm low key on the verge," Anthony said in text the morning of the stabbing.
Wirskye says Anthony had a history of violence and wanted to stab someone.
"There is a text message where he fantasizes about stabbing someone and licking the blood off the blade," Wirkskye said of Anthony.
He was obsessed with starting fights, Wirskye added, sharing that Anthony had previously been taken to a special program at LSU for kids who can't keep their hands to themselves when he lived in Louisiana prior to moving to Texas

To correct Madison's theory, in the 30's to 60's, the idea of pluralism took hold--that is the state should be the neutral ref of political contests between interest groups (including groups of people) in tug of wars to determine how people could and should live. The older philosophy of negative rights became a newer one where the fed and state government and some localities then granted positive rights at the behest of this or that group.
And the idea was that the state (local, federal, or state) would cheerfully be neutral and objective to let the policy be hashed out in political action by different groups. And that is turn was found to be bullshit--governments are filled not with technocrats but people with their own biases and instead of a neutral ref, you had technocrats in government supporting their chosen interest groups in these contests. The refs were stacking the political game results. Add in the courts, and you get the extreme technocrat ideals.

So we slide into technoanarchy by judges, mostly Democrats, occasionally GOP, where judges, bureaucrats can impose their own stupid policies on behalf of the prejudices of their own political interests.
And Congress, being bought by nasty political interests, the death of the decentralized federal system of government (foreseen in some degree by Madison in Fed. 46), and the lure of political losers seeking to win in other arenas that can impose their diktats on localities, states, or even the entire country, has not only allowed it, but encouraged the rule of the unelected in politically destructive acts.
Society is going to face a Rubicon soon when the push comes to shove--we cannot allow fraudulent elections in rotten boroughs, we cannot allow unelected and unaccountable hacks in black or their bureaucratic allies from imposing general laws, and we cannot allow foreign countries to dictate our nation's policies.

In Texas, the insanity defense is governed by Texas Penal Code Section 8.01, which establishes it as an affirmative defense based on the M’Naghten Rule. This legal standard requires the defendant to prove that, at the time of the offense, they suffered from a severe mental disease or defect that prevented them from knowing their conduct was wrong (interpreted legally as illegal).
Exclusions: The definition of mental disease or defect explicitly excludes abnormalities manifested solely through repeated criminal or antisocial behavior (e.g., psychopathy or sociopathy alone).

"So there was a stabbing at a track meet..."
"At a track meet?!?!? With a javelin?"
"No, with a knife."
Why was there a knife at a track meet?""
"The stabber brought it."
"Why? Had there been a past altercation with the victim?"
"No. They'd never met."
""So the victim must have been pursuing the stabber?"
"No. The victim was with his team and the stabber came into their area and delivered a fatal wound, which requires a whole lot of effort and intent when you're using a knife."
"I hope they put this stabber away for life."
Explaining it to a liberal:
"So there was a stabbing..."
"Was one of the people black?"
"Yes."
"Damn you whitey! Killing an innocent black child!"
"No, the black kid was the stabber and..."
"FREE MUMIA! Or whatever his name is."

The Morning Rant
“At some point, there will be NFL teams outside the USA,” Goodell said. “I have no doubt that this will happen one day.” The comments arrive as the league prepares for a record nine international games in the 2026 season. Those contests will stretch across London, Paris, Madrid, Munich, Mexico City, Melbourne, and Rio de Janeiro.
The NFl is chasing nothing other than money, and respect for the game, its origins, and its fans is a punchline during their board meetings. If the goal of the NFL is to create an international league similar to the European kickball league we saw play its championship here in America...have at it! The dilution of the game will be complete, since the rest of the world will never embrace football as a youth sport. And the dilution of football as an quintessentially American game will also proceed apace. And that is fine. The NFL no longer represents the typical American in its play, its politics, and its rejection of America as its origin. So, NFL, gather up the spare euros and pesos and enjoy the extra cash...hopefully America will eventually wake up and reject football as a sport worth following. Probably not, but baseball and basketball are following a similar path, and they aren't doing all that well!

Didn't the NFL have a European league at one point? I don't think it ever really took off. Soccer is loved by the Euros (and everywhere else) for the very fact that it's 1. A simpler game and ii. There's a low buy in to participate.
Hasn't Goodel been in charge of the NFL for a billion years now? Why the frick hasn't he been replaced?

Teams in liberal shithole cities might, but the league as a whole hasn't. They did do BLM shit over one weekend in the early stages of that shit, but the league never mandated the 'pride' garbage and most teams didn't wear the blasphemous rainbow jerseys.

I agree that the rules making QBs virtually untouchable are an abomination. But I don't want to see the flying wedge brought back. The new kickoff rule seems to be a reasonable compromise on eliminating mass momentum which was leading to concussions and other injuries. They created an incentive to have the kick fall short of the goal line and require returns.

I believe gambling is at least half of the reason to watch sports. No one in their right mind should care so deeply about sports teams unless money is involved.
That said, yeah, legitimatizing gambling has made it all that much worse. The lefty virtue signaling is there to distract from the deeper corruption.

As a kid, I loved watching, with my dad, the Raiders play throughout the 70s and early 80s.
Then when I became a teen and young adult, I played baseball, softball, and basketball, as well watching the NBA and MLB.
Now, I don't watch any pro sports due to the simple fact that it's all about the bottom line and not about the love of the sport.
Oh, and the WNBA is a joke.

I don't disagree with that, much. The kickoff, ESPECIALLY if you're worried about injuries, is HORRIBLE.
"We don't want our players hurt and most kickoffs were resulting in touchbacks, but now we're forcing them to actually return the kick and take hits."
It's f*cking football. The American game that players are paid LOTS OF MONEY to take HITS and make plays.

The NFL has admitted in court filings that they provide entertainment--not a fair sports contest that follows rules.
It's 100% scripted.
In the way a professional wrestling match is scripted--they set the outcome, call a few spots for splash during the match and improvise the rest.

Admitting students that were horrible thugs or unqualified students on full rides, spending a lot of money on athletics yet ignoring crumbling libraries and classrooms/dorms, and pressuring faculty, particularly vulnerable ones like grad assistant teachers or junior faculty to pass assholes that never attended class nor did any tests. In other cases, the student athlete's tutors did the work for them.
And this was only in the revenue producing sports-basketball and football mainly. Other student athletes were in fact students--track, baseball, women's sports (except basketball for some), did fine and got minimal or needed no help from the apparatus used for the men's revenue sports.
All students though suffered from having to pay for the deficits (only about ten or so big sports programs actually could pay for themselves with revenue) through higher student fees and derivation of tuition money in some states to fund expensive coaches, facilities, and travel for these money sports.
Now we have NIL and betting on sports. Even worse.

Betting on sports matches and other crap like the prediction markets are the hook, the lure is watching big collegiate or pro leagues. And like FIFA and soccer, believing that the refs, players, and coaches are not affected by the betting business is to laugh of naivete of some people.
Sports has been ruined by betting and tv money. I refuse to feed either of those industries. If you need to watch sports, go and watch high school or minor college sports. College baseball is fun, so is minor league. High school football, baseball/softball, volleyball, etc. can be an community event in your area. These are doing it for the love of the sport, pros are doing it for the money (which is the whole reason they became pros). And money corrupts inevitably.

Roy could play anything with strings--fiddle (there is a video of him playing fiddle along with a kid, the Orange Blossom Special. Dueling banjos with Buck Trent, reckoned to be one of the top banjo players of his time, etc. Roy was also one of the top guitarists that had ever lived--the whole Odd Couple episode where he guest stars has him playing everything from Bach, country, to the art of flamenco guitar in Malaguena.
As Pete Townshend said of his old bandmate John Entwistle--he was a bleepin musician. Entwistle could play lead, bass, horns--French Horn, Trumpet, etc., banjo, etc and he wrote the arrangements for these for some Who songs.
Some people are so talented in music and musicianship, that they can play darn near anything given a bit of time to practice--because they literally hear the music in their head and then it is figuring out how to reproduce it with a particular instrument.
Roy Clark was all of that but also a fully polished and entertaining comedian.

I found a couple Roy Clark "plays the blues" vinyl LPs once, for cheap so I bought them. He was amazing, I'd drop the needle on to a tune and ask people "who do you think that is", and they never could believe it.
Glenn Campbell, and Jerry Reed were also amazing. You don't have to like their style of music, but they were in their own league. A lot of the British guys that are so lauded were just hackers comparatively.

An online survey published in the journal Psychology of Music asked 136 women ages 40 and older about their experiences at electronic dance music (EDM) events. Nine in 10 respondents (91%) said clubbing contributes positively to their well-being, with more than six in 10 agreeing they go clubbing to escape the realities of life. The researchers say club nights should be open and inclusive to all so these benefits can be shared.

I saw Roy Clark and Roger Miller live at the Lancaster, CA County Fair when I was a kid.
They were mind-blowing. Played Flight of the Bumblebee, then classical, then Gentle on My Mind, just jumped all over the place musically and made it look effortless.

That would have been an amazing show. There are some of the youtube videos of Glen Campbell and Roy Clark playing together and another amazing guitarist, Jerry Reed with Glen.
Glen is someone who could never read music but could play the guitar in any style you liked if he heard the song once. A few videos of Glen shredding as a lark are out there.
At the end of his life, Glen and Alice Cooper (Vince whatever) were golfing buddies and good friends, both had struggled with addictions and both turned back to Christianity to help deal with those demons. Apparently as Glen slipped into dementia, he still retained the musical ability so that if a song started playing, he could pick along with it even when he could barely communicate.

Then a political movement based on lies was allowed to invade the playing field. Then to add insult to injury, Baseball decided to make rules changes that make it more akin to sandlot softball. The final nail was sports betting.
I haven't been to a game — or even watched a full one — in seven years. I caught a few frames of the 2023 Playoffs and the first four games of the Series, but I soon turned the channel (or turned on my Xbox.) I did watch most of the final game, and when the Rangers won it all, the best I could muster was good for them. I no longer had any connection to the team. I just don't care anymore.

Fan/kings/every gambling app says what?
Posted by: man
All of those gamblers assume the game is 'honest', otherwise why bet in a rigged game. When the inevitable string of fixing sports matches, insider betting, and other wretched examples surface, then the golden goose is cooked.
Ordinary people are already priced out of most major live sporting events and yet being asked to pay for the palaces for wealthy athletes and club owners to make even more money.
Like most things, it will continue for awhile on sheer momentum but it is no longer a unifying factor in American life and whatever nobility that these sportsball players, owners, and media claimed has been pissed away. All about the Benjamins is now even destroying college football and basketball as we speak.

Ah, yes — good ol' William "Captain Real Estate" Maynard. That was his second appearance in the show.
Miami Vice was the show of the 80's — at least for the first three seasons. The fourth season not only jumped the shark starting with "The Big Thaw", but it shoved a rocket up its ass and went into orbit with "Missing Hours". It went from Must See TV to lets see what else is on. I didn't see the last half of Season 4 and all of Season 5 (except the final episode) until years later in reruns.

An unknown Russian lady of great wealth
Rode alone for the sake of her health
She drove the icy streets
On a two-person seat
Laughing, "Sometimes I just sleigh myself!"

Who would believe you were a beauty indeed?
When the days get shorter and the nights get long
Lie awake when the rain comes
Nobody will know when you're old
When you're old, nobody will know
That you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

This painting is the subject of a UK Guardian article, An Unknown Woman: how I discovered a hidden tragedy tied to Russia’s most famous painting, Vladimir Raevsky, Fri 20 Feb 2026
The title is also shared across different works including Daniel Silva’s 2022 bestselling art-crime thriller.
It also has a Wikipedia page.
In part, "It is one of Russia's best-known artworks, although a number of critics were indignant when the painting was first exhibited and condemned what they saw as a depiction of a haughty and immoral woman. Its popularity has grown with changes in public taste.[5]
The painting hangs in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, while an earlier version, also dated 1883, is housed at the Kunsthalle Kiel.[6]"
A well done painting with an interesting history.
Thanks.

Had Russia somehow avoided WWI (which she was responsible for starting as much as Germany was), she might have had a chance to make the transition to a functioning democratic state.

But I don't see either having the unity of purpose or a strong enough faction to form a USSR.

A new Yale analysis found Medicare for All would cover every American AND save more than $1 trillion a year, cutting national health care spending by 20%.
It would also mean better pay for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. The savings from cutting private insurance and Big Pharma profits as well as administrative waste would pay for increased Medicare reimbursement rates and $52 billion in unpaid hospital care.

Absolutely! He was the cream of the Bolsheviks, and understood the shifts in power that were necessary for him to succeed.
But the Czar was failing and didn't have to intestinal fortitude to do what was needed to retain power, even in a reduced capacity.
Perhaps the Bolsheviks would have fragmented, and the Mensheviks would have come to power!
But the drive for power was insatiable among them all, and I think it would have been brutal no matter what.

@RepRoKhanna
A new Yale analysis found Medicare for All would cover every American AND save more than $1 trillion a year, cutting national health care spending by 20%.
It would also mean better pay for doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. The savings from cutting private insurance and Big Pharma profits as well as administrative waste would pay for increased Medicare reimbursement rates and $52 billion in unpaid hospital care.
Medicare for All saves money and lives.

The Morning Report — 8/ 20 /26
Over next month’s Labor Day weekend, Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is to speak at a conference that will platform a rogue’s gallery of Islamic extremists. The conference in Detroit is the 63rd annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate that was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007-28 Holy Land terrorism-funding trial. Other speakers among a plethora of Islamists include Siraj Wahhaj, a former ISNA vice-president who was himself an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wahhaj, who has called for the full application of sharia law including amputation, stoning and the execution of gay people, makes no secret of his aim to Islamize America. He has said: “You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.” Another scheduled convention participant, Zaid Shakir, has said: “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. If we put a nationwide infrastructure in place and marshaled our resources, we’d take over this country in a very short time.” . . . Two decades ago, in 2006, I published my best-selling and pioneering book “Londonistan,” which described how the British establishment — politicians, government officials, even security and counter-intelligence officers — were submitting to the steady Islamization of Britain. . . In particular, they refused to acknowledge the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy of mass immigration and of using the democratic process to infiltrate extremists into political positions. They failed to take seriously the jihadi strategy of demonstrating power to gain power. . . . Several states are trying to ban or restrict Sharia law. In Texas, state leaders are opening investigations into Muslim institutions and attempting to block the development of huge Muslim enclaves. But much more needs to be done. Britain offers the starkest possible warning of the frog being slowly boiled in the Islamist pot. Time is ticking. Wake up, America.Well, what's Green and Red and is for sure not Christmas?! Here's that Red part coming at you!
Florida’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Senate candidate Angie Nixon has a history of making outlandish statements throughout her political career, including praising a Marxist cop killer while campaigning in a church, calling for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies to be put back in place, and admitting to taking her children to drag shows, referring to them as “wholesome” entertainment.
This freakazoid is not a one-off. This is boilerplate tame stuff from the heart of the heart of darkness that was, is and always has been the Democrat Party.
They will embrace any madness at all if they perceive it will help them gain and maintain anything that gets them to their goal of absolute and permanent power.
Several Democratic Socialists of America-backed congressional nominees are traveling to Uruguay this week to join a left-wing international conference aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere. New York Assemblywoman Claire Valdez, New York activist Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb — all three DSA members who won Democratic congressional primaries this year — will attend the Pan-American Congress in Montevideo as “special guests” of a congressional delegation led by Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL). New Jersey Democratic congressional candidate Adam Hamawy, who is not a DSA member but has embraced many of the same left-wing causes, is also attending.
And so, Red and Green unite... at least until we get to the next big Olympic sporting event, the homosexual roof toss!
It is amazing how the leftists all over the Western world have managed to overlook Islamic teachings on homosexuality. They paid little attention to the homosexuals who are killed and hung on cranes in the middle of Iranian cities. They did not notice how ISIS, both in Syria and In Iraq, routinely threw homosexuals off the top of rooftops. They ignored how homosexuals in the Palestinian territories in Gaza and the West Bank are subject to severe societal discrimination, harassment, arbitrary arrests, and physical abuse or torture by local security forces and militant factions, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.And meanwhile back over there in Latin America...
Iranian state media revealed on Tuesday, using it as an opportunity to promote Iran’s war against the United States and demand diplomatic and economic support... In addition to marking 100 years since his birth, 2026 will soon mark the first decade since Fidel Castro’s long-anticipated death in November 2016.The timing is perfect with all of this, because Iran perhaps if not on the ropes is in serious shape to the point where maybe President Trump's bluster might actually be accurate insofar as the regime could be at long last facing a real existential crisis. We shall see.
Trump likened the operation to “an ECONOMIC D-DAY” that will require “our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.”Well then, the question is... Why was this not done weeks ago if not on day One when the first bombs fell? perhaps the war might've been over on Day Two, or what am I missing. Oh well.
For sure the reason the Left is going nuts in Latin America is because all of the socialist Communist regimes are tumbling down like so many dominoes... and now at long last perhaps the worst of the worst might be finally set to take a fall, CUBA?! How glorious would it be should that tropical Commie gulag finally taste freedom after 66 long horrible years? Leftist heads everywhere would explode! No wonder all the DSAniks have gone down to boost the Latin American commies! And the final Commie domino could very well be our very own homegrown commies, right here on our own soil!

While it's possible that Karmelo Anthony will be the first ever successful appeal against that judge, I suspect that his removal is just a means to shut everyone up a little bit. They've still got to find something about which he ruled incorrectly and all they're going with is "he enforced the court rules more than we wanted him to".

Sorta. I think part of vision Abraham Accords. And other Gulf nations wanted the nukes gone, not chaos in the straight.
Heck, UAE had 500 bombs and couple thousand drones shot at it and finally yesterday said we've had enough. That says a lot in terms of the internal dynamics of the region.
Add in the background of Israel actions and it's even more murky.
OTOH, did Sinwar really fuk up or what? They map and the dynamics in three years basically bear no resemblance to each other. And thats a good thing.

Folks need to chill a bit. Anthony's lawyers are requesting a new trial - as is probably normal. The original trial judge stated, following the trial, that "the jury got it right", which is what we assume in our system but another judge ruled that this could provide the appearance of bias so the trial judge was removed - I'm also seeing the word recused used so he may have stepped aside himself - and a senior judge has been assigned to rule over the motion for a new trial.
That's all that's happened.

One may as well ask why we didn't land in France in 1942 and save a bunch of time?
Because military/economic operations have to happen sequentially. You can't just skip to the good part.
One thing that really bugs me is how otherwise sensible commentators on the Smart Military Blog think that there is some sort of "easy button" for military operations and the failure to push it is because the people in charge are stupid or something.
Anyone who has studied the Gulf situation in depth is absolutely AMAZED at how well we are doing. Casualties are basically on the level of high-tempo training accidents, and instead of $200/bbl oil and world-wide recession, it's basically Biden in 2023. Manufacturing continues to expand, domestic oil production is climbing and all the treasonous media can do is print anonymous claims that we're out of munitions and parrot Iranian propaganda.
Oh, and Iran is winning because total economic collapse and losing 50 years worth of military hardware is a victory.

The vibe I'm getting now is less "Spanish Civil War 2.0" and more "Asturias Uprising 2.0." Those of you who have already read Long Live Death know that before the July Rising when the center-right governed Spain, there were several Anarchist uprisings, the worst of which was in the Asturias and had to be put down with regular army forces.
If the GOP holds its ground (or gains it - looking at you, Michigan), I expect there will be violence on the part of the left. The "vials of wrath" have been filled to overflowing, but without USAID and other funds, it's going to be less organized and less effective.
Also: Trump's people are running traces on the finances of these organizations and RICO charges may be coming before that. Remember that timing is everything, and you don't drop the good stuff until after Labor Day.

It’s almost amusing that the defense’s claim of “bias” came because after it was over, the Judge said publicly “I think the jury got it right”

No, surviving is not a victory. They have united the region against them, their proxies are being gutted and it's only a matter of time before they fall. Trump tried to blitz them and has now adopted a long-term sustainable strategy.
Iran's oil weapon is broken, the Straits are losing their strategic significance and the world economy chugs on.
There is none of the urgency of 1990, which some of us are old enough to remember. Honestly, if Trump stopped talking about it, the story would disappear. It's basically an upscale version of Operation Northern Watch.

This is a reprise of the old "no enemies to the left" Popular Fronts of the 1930s. The assumption is that once the revolution is launched, "our" faction (whichever it is) will win out. I think history shows the Muslims tend to beat the atheists, but the Wokes are remarkably ignorant of history.

The press has a really bad habit of getting a piece of information from someone and then printing it as accurate without ever once asking "how the fuck do you know". They do this because saying that US intelligence sources, historically known for being super accurate, estimate that the country which they engineered a conflict with has lost this many troops in the past month isn't as interesting as just putting up a number.

They are defeated. Their strategic reach is gone. The economic levers are a smart, sustainable way to force regime change. The best thing about it is that there is no time limit. We can do this forever, but they can't last forever.
It's a siege and no one is coming to their rescue. The only weapon they have left is psychology and convincing Americans that if we don't beat them by dinner time, we have to go home and sulk.

The whole BLM scam was a masterful piece of political engineering, gotta hand that to its creators. They managed to catch lightning in a bottle that summer - but I don’t think they’ll ever pull off something as big as that again. A few half hearted riots in the same old shot hole cities, at most.

China is collapsing. Any country that starts locking down capital flows is in big trouble. There was a report yesterday that their billionaires are fleeing the country and shifting assets abroad and that the CCP is threatening punitive taxes in response, which only makes more capital flee the country.
They've revoked everyone's passports, too. You're not allowed to have one - it either has to go to your employer or the local police office. Applying for one is now very complicated and drawn out. Total economic collapse is already happening.

I’m so relieved to hear that your wife’s recovery is going well. A great blessing for all of you.
I’m very supportive of the strategy we’ve finally settled into against Iran, because for the US, it’s a low cost, low risk strategy that can be easily maintained for an indefinite period of time. We’re not taking any casualties, and we’re not even expending many bombs anymore. Enough oil is getting out so that world prices aren’t spiking, and it’s the Iranians who are under pressure to try to counter this.
Given their psychology they’ll almost certainly find some way to lash out in anger, but that’ll be more for emotional reasons than military ones.

Yes, he upset the normal orderly succession system to become Mao 2.0 and like the original, he's running the country into the ground. At some point, I would expect a military coup, and he obviously does because he's purging the officer corps at a very aggressive clip.

Trum's "mistake" if you want to call it that was to run a "kind war".
He clearly wanted Iran to surrender and agree to his terms after decapitating the gov't, but was not interested in widespread destruction of infrastructure and massive death.
Trump wanted an Iran to emerge as as player in the world-economy just without nukes and terrorism.
An Iran led by rational leaders would've seen this as a benefit to them (even if they meant to violate it in the future after Trump left office) and made the Deal.
Buuuut, he underestimated the fanaticism of islamic leaders, who would rather destroy their country than let the Great Satan win.
So, now it's the slow economic grind.

It was no mistake. His opening was epic, shattering Iran's formidable air defenses and terrifying both the Russians and the Chicoms. After a flurry of bombardment and decapitating the leadership, we needed to slow down the operational tempo to something more sustainable. So we declared a unilateral cease fire, which flipped the script.
Iran came back swinging, and now we were acting in self-defense. It was a hugely smart opening play.
If I told you a year ago that Trump would do what he has done - shatter Iran's terrorist proxies, destroy almost all their missiles, sink their navy, obliterate their air force and air defenses AND do it without a global Muslim backlash - you would say I was delusional.
Especially if I said we'd take less losses than an Army post on a holiday weekend. Those of us old enough to remember Desert Storm - which was hailed as an epic curb-stomping - can only shake our heads in disbelief.

The end game of the current strategy is not Regime change or the end of the IRGC, although that would be nice. It is to degrade Iran’s civil economy until the entire nation becomes ungovernable by anyone, and Iran becomes completely toothless and torn by internal conflict, a threat to no one outside their borders.
There’s a comparison that can be made with Cuba right now. The biggest reason that there’s no pressure to do anything quickly with Cuba is that it’s already dead, internally. There is no Cuban economy left, and although the Party still rules, all that they rule is a collection of the old, the sick, and the mentally ill huddled in decaying ruins and mud huts. If some force tried to invade, the Cuban military would have to come up with a bunch of bicycles to get troops to the front lines.

Lot's of headlines about Ellison in MN suing TX and Abbott, demanding he extradite that ICE officer they charged.
I had to read three of them to finally find out it was in federal court in MN.
Almost every article spent the whole space rehashing the lies about how awful ICE has been.
What I can't find is, how is this not a suit between states with original jurisdiction in the Supreme Court?

He’s become indistinguishable from the old Emporers; except no Imperial Family, which always had a powerful vested interest in seeing the line continue. Makes him more of a Marshall Tito, I think. “Apres moi, le deluge.”

The best is that all resistance to these data centers come from the CCP. While I'm sure that is in the mix, that is to classify those against/resistant to data centers as monolithic, like some much of politics when we know it is more complicated.
I live not too far from the Limerick Nuclear Power Station, outside Philadelphia. When the plant was built back in the late 70's and early 80's, one of the biggest problems was water to run the cooling towers. The problem was believe to be big enough that they made provisions to send water from the Delaware River down to the Schuylkill River which adjoins the power station. Also, the latest PJM grid power auction came up short on power, so exactly where are the proposed 6 different data centers within 15 miles of Limerick going to get their power.
Ultimately, we all know that power and water rates will go up, and we all know who is going to pay. The stories of Luddites and CCP plots are mostly a distraction from the bigger reality.

I've always been fascinated by the idea that people are incapable of learning from their mistakes.
Vance opposed Trump, and after witnessing Trump 45 for himself, changed his position so much as to be selected as Trump 47's VP.
Rubio, however, isn't permitted to do that, despite kicking the entire world's shit in over the unequivocal importance of US sovereignty.
I sincerely hope people don't insist on punishing me for the things I was wrong about fifteen years ago.

I see that continuing, so talk about Vance vs Rubio is very premature. I think they sincerely love this country and know how dangerous it is to let the left regain power and they are going to work out a ticket in advance. Rubio has a lot on his plate, and may not want to sit in the big chair. Maybe he wants to be governor of Florida, or Viceroy of Cuba?
The weird thing is, just about every critique being thrown at Vance applies to Rubio. Both guys have changed their stripes, both are Catholic and support Catholic social teaching. Rubio actually seems worse in that respect because Vance was never full-on GOPe, he was always an insurgent.
Anyway, there are more pressing issues to think about as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know, but I hope there is going to be a robust primary. Last time (a few weeks ago) the likes of the Federalist and Breitbart started spreading rumors that Trump picked Vance, Trump very directly said "No, it's too early, OK?" And the way his said it was lake hammer. He is seeing the electoral problems with Vance's candidacy. AOP will run, but hers is a VP position. Kamala will probably try, SC is first primary state for Ds, and she is guaranteed to a win there. So, momentum.

The virtue of this arrangement is that we now have a "kill switch" on China's economy placed well beyond their reach.
The Chicoms figured Iran would tie us up, freeing them to go after Taiwan, but it worked the other way 'round.
As Iran fades, we can move the carriers to the Pacific and let our allies keep up the pressure.
Don't forget: Saudi Arabia has a mutual defense treaty with Pakistan (who owes them a lot of money) and after the initial missile volleys, Iran activated it. Pakistan is well placed to wreck Iran.

I did not. I stated that he stopped publicly supporting amnesty when he was nominated to be part of Trump's cabinet. I have also said, previously, that the things he is doing are being done at Trump's direction. In short, I do not give Rubio full credit for the things Rubio has done. Nor do I give Vance either full credit or blame for the things he has done as VP.

Whenever possible Trump likes to set up win-win situations for himself. So it's very likely the possibility of no surrender was accounted for and there is a path to a different sort of victory if they don't. Does it mean it's better than surrender? Maybe, maybe not.
As you and I know any surrender is phony anyway and it just means they're regrouping. By doing it this way it means the destruction can be more fully consuming. Trump could not have leveraged the destruction so far in one or two days without serious repercussions.
However by forcing a daily or weekly choice they won't make, we keep on destroying, and the PR side of it is a little more taken care of.
Remember it's two wars, the war against Iran and the war against the media here at home. He has to win or at least tie on both front at once.

Not sure when / why the word "pair" entered vernacular to mean "goes well with" or "complements". A pair is 2 items with a similar identifiable characteristic. Such as a pair of shoes or a pair of aces in card games. Somehow in discussing food and fashion, "pair" has taken on a different meaning.

There's even one complaint that it was "rushed". You don't need vague bullshit like that in a winning appeal, the claims related to rushing would be far more specific. It tells me they don't have a leg to stand on.

Which is reasonable - neither of them are The Boss.
You said, though, that he'd go back to 'amnesty today, amnesty tomorrow, amnesty forever Rubio.' I'm just wondering what you base that on. I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest that 2013 Rubio and 2028 Rubio would be the same.
It's the idea that people don't/can't change I don't accept. Reagan was a Democrat. Trump was a Democrat. Rubio supported amnesty.
I don't subscribe to the permanence of bad decisions.

I didn't say that. I said that the people pumping up Rubio assume that he won't. I make no assumptions either way. He hasn't declared that he's running. He hasn't made any policy statements. He's only acted as Trump's proxy.

Maybe tentacle = company that has overreached and owns everything? One of the commenters says this:
Github was just fine until microshaft purchased the company, offering an amount of money I doubt anyone could refuse...
It was also fine for a few years after.
Now it's shafted - like everything microshaft buys and enshitifies.
They try to wring every last cent out of whatever they purchase because they often don't know what they've got.
The list of things they've bought and totally shafted is a long one.

The AI corps are making their models much better every few months or so, that's for certain. What isn't clear is whether AI is actually improving productivity for workers and businesses, as was promised, or is actually causing more problems than it solves?
I guess AI may be helping in some specific industries.
We hear great things about how much it's doing in medical research, but I'm still waiting on an AI to find that cure for cancer.
Maybe they should get AI to figure out a way to lessen the amount of RAM and storage that it's sucking out of the global supply chain? We're going to have to wait a few years for all of these proposed AI-specific CPUs & GPUs to go into production to help the situation.
Data centers everywhere, and the electric bill increases it brings, is right up there with the memory & storage supply crunch as the main reasons people are going against AI the more they learn about it.

"The company provided a list of 500 songs that the defendants had infringed upon.

Young soldier meets some skanky hooker, wifes her up, and takes her home to the fam, who are decidedly unimpressed.
Then she starts cheating on him with all his "buddies", files a restraining order, and garnishes his wages to pay child support for kids that likely aren't even his.

Wednesday Night ONT - August 19, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. Step up and place your order. (No Bud Light per Management.)
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

You had me at "Jet Super Beast":
Builders renovating a house in Belgium have discovered a stash of gold reportedly worth €9m (£7.6m) sealed into the walls of its cellar. The construction workers stumbled across the hidden trove of gold bars and coins while drilling to lay new sewage pipes in the property in east Flanders earlier this week, local media report. The discovery has sparked interest in who might get to keep the hoard - with both the builders and the local charity that owns the site having a chance of claiming it. After launching an investigation, police warned people against attending the site to search for more treasure, saying the house was "turned upside down" and all the gold had been moved to a secure location.
The rightful owner has five years to claim the hoard under Belgian law - though the local prosecutor, who has launched an investigation, said it was not yet known who this might be. If no one comes forward, civil law states that hidden treasure on someone else's property be divided between the finder and the property's owner.Fwiw, that's about USD$10.42 million.
Alec's recent project is restoring a 1958 Massey Clearspace Power Hammer that he has dreamed about since age 11. It weighs over 5 tons. I am not a metalworking expert but big machines that smash hot metal sound interesting. Apparently, I'm not the only one. Alec's channel has 3.19 million subscribers. That's right kids - over three million people are subscribed to a YouTube channel to watch a modern blacksmith's passion projects. Amazing. Alec tells a story well, he has a sense of humor and his enthusiasm is infectious. No clickbait, no fancy graphics, no music - just a guy, his wife and anyone else he can convince to help bend and move metal. He's been posting YouTube videos for 15 years. I struggled to pick a representative video. He's made knives, swords, springs, saws, nails, hammers, arrowheads and rings (jewelry). The recent string of Power Hammer restoration videos are good watching, but the video with the highest view count by far is this one:

Ha. I was once inspecting a gas station renovation and found the plumbing contractor had mistakenly run the premium line to the regular pump, and vice versa to the premium pump on one of the two islands. Aside from performance differences in vehicles, it would have royally messed up the inventory tracking.
We fixed it by swapping signage on the two pumps.

Even the mildest zoom loses all detail. Hard to tell with the color cast but maybe a yellow-on-black plate which IIRC, CA had before going to yellow and blue. There appear to be palm trees and the spire of a Spanish style church in the background. So maybe LA before enshitification.

Didja notice the gas prices in the background of the gas station picture? 58.9, etc? Those were the days.
I'm writing to you from a beautiful, peaceful campsite in a state park in SE Arkansas in the 'delta' country. Theres only like three or four other campers here. Very peaceful. Ridiculously hot and humid. We're definitely in 'the south', I saw a Piggly-Wiggly on the way here.
Tomorrow we're going to are going to visit the sites where Mrs ARiK's Japanese Grandfather was held during part of WWII. Should be interestink!
We stopped at a Buc-ee's in Springfield, Mo. It was almost a religious experience! I bought a 3Meat sandwich, wife just had a bbq beef I think. Also a bag of beaver chips? bites ? I forget. Big sodas. Caramel popcorn. Toasted? Almonds. $45!
Younger son was working in Little Rock for a few days so he came and had dinner with us last night in Greenbrier, Arkansas. That was fun! He flew back to our home in Calif today so we'll see how the house is doing.I highly recommend Millers Outpost RV park there. Owner Beth is a cutie!
That's all for now. Further bulletins as events warrant.....

Evening, all,
The price of .57 on the signage to the right puts it somewhere between 1974 and 1979. Around .55/gal. is what I recall paying for my Ford Maverick in those years. In '79 the price jumped to about $1.00 and stayed under $1.50 for more than twenty years.

Oooo ooooo I know this one. That, my friend, is a Ground Rod. It's found throughout urban areas. In the center of it, you can just barely make out a metal spike. They push a steel rod deep into the ground.
What's it for? Simple, to disperse excess electricity (lightning) to take it away from the multiple buildings that would be in the area. But, it also serves to take away electricity from downed wires as well. Not to mention to protect electronics from power surges.
Now you know.

That appears to be a yellow on black California Vanity Plate. You still see them around.
Gas was typically between 45 and 60c/gallon after the first oil embargo of the early 70's and the second one in 1978, which is when it went to over a dollar.
Remember buying it by the quart or half gallon because the pumps only went up to 99.9/ gallon?

A woman who knows which sides the hot and cold go on is a keeper. But you probably already know that.
Is there any chance you can relocate the bathroom to the other side of the wall, so that hot and cold are right way around? Of course that would require moving the drains and probably electrical and other stuff, but I'm just pitching ideas here.
Good luck.

One of the funniest stories I heard in my life involved the Lighthouse.
During an interview I listened to (IIRC) featuring one of those Golden Age of Comedy writers from the 50s/60s, they mentioned that one day they were with a famous comedian at the time - Dom DeLouise? - walking past the Lighthouse building in the evening. It was in the East 50s in NYC at the time. Anyway, as they were walking past the building DeLouise looked up and saw that all the lights were off. He said 'ah, the workers are burning the midnight oil up there, I see.'

Top photo with the Bonnie Taylor song are perfection. Great song! Seemed to be a lovely lady, married to her man for 52yrs.
I loved the making of the gold ring but confess to not understanding the metal making at all til he got to the gold part. Is it gold filled? I realize I am tres stoopit. It's a pretty ring and I would have liked to have seen it on her finger.
My own rings (both hands) are white gold that need tipping (or something) around the stones every decade as it wears quicker than yellow gold. Much narrower bands.
Had 5yr old granddaughter in the car today when she saw a woman with hot pink hair. She was horrifed and declared it ugly. We discussed that hair can be dyed but fixed, and it was ugly, but a pierced nose or eyebrow is forever. I mentioned tattoos and she reminded me of my brother's and SIL's small ones. I said, yes, I still love them but don't like tattoos and would never hurt anyone's feelings...to wait til she got in the car with parents if a waitress or someone had them. She said she will never do either piercings or tattoos or pink hair. I start them young.

Okay a question.
We live in a very small town in SW Wyoming. We are in the midst of a severe drought. In the twelve years here we've never heard an owl.
I'm wondering with the drought if the owls are here now because the drought has killed off the vermin they like to eat in the wide open spaces they usually hunt?
Yum, there are lots of well fed and watered dogs and cats we can eat?

Before my great uncle passed, he told my grandfather and me to absolutely tear apart a certain kitchen hutch he had after he died. He claimed he had been hiding $20 gold pieces in it for years in secret compartments and niches. We thought he was demented but did as he asked. Yep, there were about 30 of them in there. A few Liberty Head Double Eagles and the rest Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles. Grandpa gave one to each of his grandkids. Uncle Jake was a hell of a guy.

On the farm in MS after watching brothers and friends shoot off fireworks and cannons at the lake. Probably had a few beers.
Days after graduating nursing school (yay) and about a few weeks from starting to freak out about taking state boards (boo).
Missing my bf now husband as we'd started getting serious after two years. Took my brother back West with me for his vacation...which was wild and a lot of drinking and partying.
He was memorable skiing and burned a hole in my dude's leather glove on a rope tow to a lift hilarity when he stopped the tow by falling perpendicular. Was 6'4" and it had to be done with him crawling away. Finally got on the lift and he fell down most of the mountain. We always had fun together. I probably had to lie down in the snow I was laughing so hard.

Owl trivia! They don’t build nests. They steal them from others, they are “opportunistic nesters” which means they are squatters. If you put owl houses out, it makes them happy.
I still have Owlbert, though he is no where near as demanding as he was before I got Saijo, but he still lives in the back yard in the owl condo, and he still hangs out scratching up the fence while he sits there when I swim. He is a (wait for it) hoot.

From the little I have figured out a mommy of a sad sailor (she claimed to like Trump), & a gf who got a sad email went viral that there was no food (dogfood photos taken...one from a cinder block wall ship which seemed off), moldy showers, and no port for over 200 days. Out of 5k sailors I reckon some whine.
The Dems & MSM jumped on this. I think the 4,998 sailors who were made to look like whiners probably hung the guys from their underwear on hooks or used them as anchors.
There are always baboons somewhere useful for the MSM.
A note before I leave you all bored senseless and go to bed.
The kindergartner clone of mine thinks "baboon" is the most hilarious word she's heard in awhile. I showed her photos on the Internet and she laughed harder. Then she sadly noticed the baboons behinds and I clicked off quickly. We never know what will set her off loudly laughing. Head thrown back and open mouthed like mine. The world should live in fear.

Visiting the girlfriend du jour at her parents home in Cincy. We all went out for dinner and my gal had one beer with her meal. Parental units and the two of us took separate cars back home. On the way she sucked down damn near an entire bottle of Ouzo. Once back at the house Dad and I sat on the couch while GF went to change clothes. While changing, the liquor clearly kicked in as she came out dressed only in a robe, tripped and fell and exposed the promised land since she was nekkid beneath the robe.
Dad looked at me and quipped "Wow, one beer did all that!"

Bingo. One guy debated jumping overboard to his gf (I think this is the same one). Said he didn't want to live anymore.
I have read some stories refuting this from sailors who've been to sea and say it's propaganda. Especially the ones on submarines. Granted that would put someone loco quickly. But they do it as they volunteered for it.
President Trump is sending another aircraft carrier to replace the Lincoln, but it's not like they can blast off over there in minutes.
Not that I doubt they miss land and their families. But it was picked up by the MSM, which don't publish the 16yr old lifeguard who saved and boy and hosted at the WH.
My father, who joined the 1st Marines after Pearl Harbor, was in the South Pacific for 30mo without coming home. That seems worse along with his malaria and eating out of cans. They used the Vitamin C sent by the military to get rust off their helmets (ok, when Daddy wasn't giving it to the "natives" of islands to bleach their hair).

It is hard out there. It is not easy. There IS NO BREAK as the Sea is a Bitch who is constantly trying to kill you. There is a reason REAL sailors are Salty MFers.
Just as in any group, any profession... there will be those who either should not have been there in the first place, or who hit their limit.

I said the only thing that could compare with Jager for vileness was sloe gin. On further reflection, I think ouzo deserves some consideration as well.
I can't imagine anybody killing a whole bottle of ouzo in one night! I used to patronize a very upscale restaurant (on special occasions) which served ouzo sometimes in tiny glasses, as a dessert wine. That was OK.

I commanded a company of around 130 soldiers in Iraq in 2008. Not a dangerous mission (stayed on base), but moderately stressful and very monotonous and mind-numbing for the troops. Had a handful of issues during the deployment, and after we got back home. People are away from home, get bad news, get stressed, any number of issues. Upscale it to 5500 people or so in a confined area with actual operational stresses and dwindling supplies (read it was the longest a US carrier has been at sea without a port call) and it's no surprise a few issues will pop up.

Aye. And thank you. Good points.
My father had some tales about boot camp.
He was a Southern gentleman. You'd never take him for a tough Marine until you knew him well and how he never let illness or severe injury stop him. My hero and much loved by all. Hysterically funny as well as a good man to look up to.
Stood up for ladies if they entered the room. Kind. Never cussed in front of me, the Marine Sgt, but apparently colored the sky purple with his cattle, my brothers and husband if a cow did not behave. Apparently clever turns of phrase machine gun cussing without Oxford commas.

The US Navy has been the MASTER of underway replenishment since WW2. We literally get alongside a supply ship, and transfer everything from Food, to Fuel, to Ammo, at Sea, while doing about 10 knots.
It is standard. It is done almost daily by some Navy ship somewhere in the world.
Yes, it is dangerous. If things go wrong? Collisions can happen (been there did that USS Harry W. Hill hit the USS Kansas City AOR3 in 91).... But... is it the reason the US Navy is the only true Blue Water Navy, in the world.

We aren’t taking military casualties, not even using many bombs lately. We can keep this up for a long time, Iran is the one who’s got to figure out what to do about it.
And while this may not bring about a new regime, sooner or later the country simply becomes ungovernable as all economic institutions collapse.

Then Harry would finally be King, but Meghan STILL wouldn't be Queen of the Britons, just as Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Phillip was never king.
If William died while his son (sons) was still a minor, there would then be a Regency Council until the child reached the age of his majority-- which used to be 16-- and perhaps still is.

They've changed the rules there, for William and all heirs born after. It used to be male-preference primogeniture. That meant that you'd have to exhaust in the sons before you could go to the daughters. But they changed that to include the girls in birth order. So Princess Charlotte will be ahead of her younger brother.
Second you've got the distinction between a Queen Regnant and Queen consort. The wife of the King is always a Queen consort, and gets "Her majesty".
However, the husband of a Queen regnant gets nothing by right. It was QE II herself who made Philip a prince after she succeeded her father.

You're forgetting William's daughter Charlotte. Under QEII they changed the rules. Girls don't lose their place in the line of succession to younger brothers. If William died, and her older brother George died without issue, she would be Queen Regnant. After her comes Louis, then Harry who is fifth in line for the throne. Then the invisikids, Aldi and Lidl.

The rule changes for the girls would lead to the situation if the monarch's first born child were a daughter, then she would be the heir apparent. This would sort of mess up the rules for the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and all that.
They usually don't worry about such ramifications of changes until they actually have to. The title Princess of Wales goes to the wife of the Prince of Wales. So, if a daughter were the heir apparent, they'd probably want to redefine her as Princess of Wales directly.

Not in the UK. The eldest daughter of the monarch is usually given the title Princess Royal. But there can only be one at a time. So, if whatshername is still living with William takes it, Charlotte wouldn't get that title until the older one died.
Prince of Wales = "Crown Prince" in the UK, but because of the previous male preference rules, a female could never be heir apparent, only heir presumptive, so it never was a question until now.

No, he would be after Harry and all his children. Think of the line of succession as going straight down from first born to first born. If something happens to the heir apparent, you either go down to his children, or back up only as many steps as you need to get back to an heir.

I'm sure Charles was called the "Prince of Wales" informally from birth, but he wasn't formally invested until 1969, when he was 20 years old.
I remembered this because there were articles about how difficult it was for him to learn to make a speech in Welsh for the investiture.
Yes, "remembered". Yes, I'm old.

Suppose William died right. George would be up next, then Charlotte, the then the youngest boy. Then it would be Harry, and his children in birth order. Then it would Andrew. Now, since he's been defrocked, I don't know if they threw him out of the line of succession or not.
Then it would be Randy Andy's children, two daughters. Then it would go to QE II's third son, Edward, and then his children.

I always liked to use "earthing" to make the distinction between equipment/safety grounding, and the actual "electrode" that goes into the dirt. The technical term for that is "system grounding", but that is sort of ambiguous, so "earthing" makes it clear you're talking about the connection between one side of system and the dirt.

Not nearly so much with the current generation.
As I recall, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were both second AND third cousins.
Of all their children, I think only Charles married a noble, and none married a fellow royal.
Somewhere about the middle of the 20th Century the European royal families seemed to have come to a tacit agreement that they should cut it out with the inbreeding.

What's different is that they think they can force themselves on YOU, you lilly white numbskulls, because you won't do a damn thing about it. In "their culture", just about universally, if you force yourself on a woman or child who isn't considered an Unperson (so not a dhimmi, not a povvo, etc etc), you're still going to be in trouble.
The idea that they simply can't fathom this rarified, manufactured, White concept of rape and need to be patronizingly taught by their Betters with a pat on the head and a cookie is the absolute height of racist clownery.
What they need to be taught is that white women and children are Human Beings. THAT is the lesson.

I got to looking at the official line of succession. QE II's descendants sum to 26. And I had forgotten that Margaret had children, that gets you up to 32.
After that, you've got to go back up to George V and start coming down his parallel lines. That gives you 66 total people, and that's as far as the official line goes.
Past that, hell, who knows, some soccer hooligan somewhere might be next in line.

There are a few Catholics in that family tree that are excluded. It used to be that being married to a Catholic would disqualify you, but they changed that in 2015, and that sort of shuffled up the order.
However, that change about girls being in their birth order was not retroactive, only applied to new births going forward, so any women before that still have all brothers ahead of them.

If I do say so myself, it's pretty freaking awesome.
The best feature is the naming tokenizer.
Sometimes when you acquire media, it has all kinds of extra fluff added to it, what this does is analyze the string, tokenizes each word into a drag and drop object that you can then arrange how you want.
This is especially useful for TV shows with multiple seasons and multiple episodes.

How does a giraffe defend itself?
Sure, it's tall, but I couldn't figure out why lions or some other predator doesn't just take it down. I, always, assumed the giraffe has a wicked kick, but they seem so slow. But, this video cleared things up at the expense of Mr. Carvalho, unfortunately. This giraffe just wound up and hammered the photographer with its neck. It was fast, and as the late Mr. Carvalho would attest (if he could), it was instantaneous death.

I drilled a hole in the floor of my bedroom (not in an inconspicuous spot, heck no, just right in the middle of the floor) and ran a wire to the basement through the crawlspace, my brother and I had an intercom system hooked up by hotwiring our tape recorders together somehow.

Sure, it's tall, but I couldn't figure out why lions or some other predator doesn't just take it down. I, always, assumed the giraffe has a wicked kick, but they seem so slow. But, this video cleared things up at the expense of Mr. Carvalho, unfortunately. This giraffe just wound up and hammered the photographer with its neck. It was fast, and as the late Mr. Carvalho would attest (if he could), it was instantaneous death.

There's a little bit of misconception on that, actually. Ford offered all the different colors before this policy, but they cost more, and importantly they took a lot longer to dry.
Ford went to black enamel or whatever it was, because it dried faster than anything else available which allowed higher production numbers. That was just one more cost efficiency that allowed him to sell a new car for 800 dollars or whatever it was.

Kinda fun, actually. Especially since there isn't anything worth listening to on the actual AM bands. I always planned on broadcasting War of the Worlds or old school horror episodes on Halloween but never got around to it.
The AM band is purposefully frequency limited (to get more stations available on the band, I suppose) by using your own transmitter and input source you can hear that it is basically FM quality, just in Mono. I did have a big wooden Zenith console with a green tuning eye that would blast out modern tunes in the garage, a lot of people wondered about that.

BEIJING – China is currently facing a massive new wave of COVID-19 infections this summer. Health officials are watching the numbers closely as cases skyrocket across the entire country. Hospitals are seeing more patients coming in with familiar symptoms like fever and cough. The latest figures show a dramatic shift in the nation’s public health situation.
China’s National Health Commission reported on August 13 that the mainland recorded 522,000 new COVID-19 cases in July. This figure is up sharply from just 79,000 cases reported back in June. In just one month, cases increased by 443,000, a rise of about 560.8%.

Then type in I am alone with a black person:
Being alone with a person of any race is a normal everyday situation. Treat them with the same basic respect, courtesy, and kindness you would show to anyone else.

Feeling alone with a white person can stem from emotional distance rather than physical isolation, as loneliness often arises from a lack of meaningful connection, even in relationships. It's important to communicate openly about feelings and experiences to bridge that gap.

That's being decided on tomorrow. Today Judge Roach was recused. Even the shitbird judge that decided that said Roach did nothing wrong. The judge picked to make that decision is Judge Michael Chitty.
Judge Michael Chitty has been appointed to oversee Karmelo Anthony's appeal for a new trial. Chitty, a retired district judge from Kaufman County, has a significant background in the legal field, having served nearly 17 years in the 422nd District Court. His appointment comes after a motion to recuse Collin County District Judge John Roach was granted, allowing a new judge to hear Anthony's appeal. Chitty's role in the case is crucial as he will preside over the arguments presented by Anthony's defense team regarding the appropriateness of the original trial and its outcome.

Seriously, though, what would you rather have today as your daily driver? (Daily. Driver. Not "what can I resell for beaucoup bux to buy something better.") A brand-new 1927 Model A, delivered by time machine? Or a ~$9500 current car? That would be something like a 2014 bare-bones compact with 120K on it, based on a quick check at Carmax.
I bet the rattletrap Kia Soul will still treat you better than the A, unless you're a serious shadetree mechanic.

I drove an old pickup for many years, no seatbelts, no nothin'. You tend to hear, and feel, the road. Today drivers are anesthetized, practically. Power steering, power brakes, soft compliant suspensions. Quiet interior. They are much safer, but then they drive that much faster, wait until the last possible moment and slam on the brakes, that sort of thing.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer: California Democrat Candidate for Governor Xavier Bercera Conspired With Anthony Fauci to Hide Fauci's Creation of Covid-19 in Wuhan
Fox News PoliticsAs I've mentioned a lot, they also deliberately fail to search for the correct keywords, and of course they deliberately misspell searchable keywords so that they can't be found in an automated search. These searches are all automated, because they search for thousands of documents, and the opposing party is not allowed to see the body of documents, just the ones that turn up positive for containing the searched-for keywords. And Democrats have made a crooked career out of deliberately sabotaging these searches.
@foxnewspolitics FAUCI FALLOUT: House Oversight Chairman James Comer is accusing former Biden HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra of potentially hiding Fauci's COVID-era diary and cellphone from Congress -- documents that contained references to "COVID-19," "gain-of-function," and "Wuhan" that Republicans specifically requested in November 2023. Comer says Becerra either intentionally withheld the materials or failed to conduct an adequate search.
Was Becerra pardoned by Biden? No, actually. From The Blaze: Fauci was warned to create a contingency fund to pay off people injured (or caused to miscarry) by his supposedly 100% safe and effective his money untested experimental "vaccine."
The diary, which current HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. turned over to Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson earlier this year, spans over 1,000 pages and includes entries where Fauci discussed his influence over school closures -- something he previously denied under oath. Becerra, now running for governor of California, has until Sept. 2 to answer whether he knew about the diary, why it wasn't produced, and whether any Biden officials pressured him to withhold it. Here's the contradiction at the center of this: Fauci told Congress in June 2024 that "The CDC was responsible for those kinds of guidelines to schools, not me." His own diary includes a 2020 entry where he says he "convinced" NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio "based on what I was saying publicly and my conversation tonight to close the NYC schools."
When Fauci appeared before the Senate in late July, he didn't address any of the diary's revelations. Instead, he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times as Republicans pressed him on the pandemic's effects and what the diary entries revealed about his role.
Comer's letter to Becerra demands answers to pointed questions: Did he know the diary existed? Why wasn't it included in the original document production? And did any Biden administration officials pressure him to withhold materials from the November 2023 request?
Fauci was apparently warned to save '$$' to tackle vaccine fallout: 'Will come back to bite you' Joseph MacKinnon
Fauci was not only aware of a possible link between the jab and miscarriages but presented with casualty concerns by the head of the FDA. ... A newly released email from May 2021 seemingly reveals that the head of the Food and Drug Administration was so concerned about the novel mRNA vaccines that she advised Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins to create a contingency fund to deal with the fallout from them.
On Sunday, Sen. Johnson, chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, published a May 27, 2021, email sent by then-acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock to Fauci and then-NIH Director Collins regarding the perceived need to begin squirreling away scientific research funds to later investigate vaccine side effects. "I have been contacted by a number of people who have experienced adverse events post COVID-19 vaccination (from all three of the current vaccines)," wrote Woodcock. "Many are healthcare professionals, some of whom I know. The symptoms do not fit together into a distinctive syndrome and most are not easily quantifiable or evaluated with standard laboratory testing." While cognizant that "during mass vaccination you will get a lot of psychological reactions," Woodcock was nevertheless sensitive to complaints among apparent vaccine casualties that "no one takes them seriously, no one knows how to treat them" and that there had been "no effort to study this." ... "But of course $ need to be made available, and you would need an investigator who is interested in 'medical mysteries,'" wrote Woodcock. "I doubt the industry would support, for obvious reasons. But my experience is, that if you let a problem fester, then it will come back to bite you later and you are not prepared." Fauci subsequently told Collins, "We cannot ignore her. We should probably bring in CDC and see what Rochelle thinks." Johnson's office noted that based on the information reviewed to date, it's unclear whether Walensky was ever consulted. Blaze News did not immediately receive a response from the CDC, the FDA, or an attorney representing Fauci. Woodcock could not be reached for comment.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ California chapter received the largest share among Islamist groups, collecting $42.2 million in HHS-originated funding to provide legal and social services to Afghan refugees
Other groups receiving HHS funds included ICNA Relief ($10.6 million), which MEF links to an Islamist movement responsible for violence in South Asia, and the Muslim American Society’s Sacramento chapter ($90,000), described by a federal appeals court as an “overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”
As the California Globe previously reported, Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego saw its revenue more than sextuple from $11.5 million in 2019 to nearly $80 million by 2023, a surge fueled almost entirely by federal dollars for refugee and migrant services. Audit records show tens of millions in HHS-originated refugee and entrant assistance funds passed through CDSS to the organization for programs including migrant hotel wraparound services, Afghan Support and Investment, Refugee Cash Assistance, and related supports.

A lot more than that. AI can do sentiment analysis. Through prompts a search can be directed to spread across multi email accounts and put together story lines, highlight attempts to disguise, obfuscate or identify ad hoc euphemisms and then compose high-level summaries of email threads. AI can easily detect attempts to circumvent processes and practices and point out exactly where regulations have been violated or legal infractions are being made or referred to.
They just don't want to upset the status quo so while AI is great a performing a pattern of life on you, they won't dare do that to identify their sleaze.

"Today, Western Europe is 85% to 90% white -- or “European.” The gigantic population shift in the last few decades is the equivalent (of) trading the demographics of Maine (90.1% white Western European) for those of Montana (84.6% white Western European). Even the UK is 82% white -- or the demographics of North Dakota (82.5%). The doomsday scenario is that, in a few years, Britain may have the demographics of South Dakota (80.5%).
Meanwhile, the U.S. is hanging on by a thread at 56.1% white Western European"
Many of the "Hispanics" may be somewhat less prone to violence, and less likely to act as jihadists, but Ann has a good point.

One of my favorite Prince Harry things lol:
In his 2023 memoir Spare, Prince Harry described getting frostnip/frostbite on his penis (which he called his “todger”
after a 2011 charity North Pole trek with wounded veterans. He wrote that a friend recommended Elizabeth Arden cream as a home remedy. He noted that his mother, Princess Diana, had used it on her lips, applied some “down there,” and said the smell reminded him of her.Posted by: Admiral Ackbar at August 19, 2026 07:21 PM (bUztX)

So, a subpoena that said "all documents that include the phrase "adverse effects," they would only search for "addvarse afects?"
Then came back and said, "nope, no documents found with the phrase "adverse effects."
If so, that's huge.

Bunting to 3rd for a sac fly is a "one run" strategy. It increases the chance for 1 run but decreases the overall runs you are expected to score in the inning. Near the end of a game or extra innings this is viable, other innings the max runs strategy is better.

Democrat Representative Jimmy Gomez accused of sexual assault.
Where is Brooke Baldwin when you need her to jump on a dick-grenade? Another socialist turns out to be a rich bitch living on his daddy's dime.
An unidentified woman has accused Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) of sexual assault as part of a House Ethics Committee investigation that was sparked by a Post exposé, according to a statement released by her lawyers Wednesday. Democrats on Capitol Hill believe Gomez, 51, may resign in the wake of the disclosure -- following his close friend Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who stepped down in April after multiple women alleged sexual harassment or assault. Attorneys Lisa Banks and Sarah Nesbitt slammed Gomez for publicly claiming that the committee is only investigating "consensual" sexual relations by the married Dads Caucus founder. "We represent one of the women who was interviewed by the House Committee on Ethics about her experience of sexual harassment and assault by Representative Jimmy Gomez," Banks and Nesbitt said. "Contrary to Representative Gomez's assertion in his statement, his actions were not 'consensual in nature' with respect to our client. We fully expect that the House Committee on Ethics will come to the same conclusion in its investigation."
The lawyers added: "This is just the latest example of brazen sexual misconduct by a member of Congress. Congress must act to rein in its members who seem to believe that preying on young women working on Capitol Hill is one of the perks of their job." The Ethics Committee started to investigate Gomez after The Post reported in April that he was seen kissing a much younger aide to a different lawmaker in the summer of 2023 outside a backyard party hosted by Swalwell. Gomez initially denied it, but copped to having an affair in June, admitting to "personal mistakes outside my marriage that have caused real pain to my wife and family," in a statement to CNN that characterized the extramarital relations as "consensual." The lawmaker issued a similar statement Monday after the committee publicly confirmed its investigation for the first time. ... Gomez, Swalwell and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), the last of whom served in the House for a decade, formed a tight-knit crew -- collectively known as the "Cool Kids Clique" -- that developed a reputation for heavy drinking and womanizing. Gallego has privately admitted to sleeping with House aides who worked for at least two different lawmakers, The Post reported last month. He did not deny the account, calling the story "gossip."
Anti-rich DSA leader Gustavo Gordillo lives it up in posh $1.5M NYC pad paid for by millionaire parents The millionaire parents of a whiny top DSA leader have set up their socialist son in a $1.5 million Brooklyn home -- where he lives while railing against the rich and property ownership, The Post has learned. Gustavo Gordillo, the 38-year-old co-chair of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, is peddling his anti-capitalist lefty agenda while enjoying the life in the two-story, nearly 2,000-square-foot row home on a gentrifying tree-lined block in Bed-Stuy. "I wish my family could afford to buy me a million-dollar home," said local renter Faith Smith, 36 -- who called the socialist Yale University grad a hypocrite. "It's a rich kid,'' she said of the Yalie. "That's basically people who don't have to deal with the struggles we have to deal with." The Ivy League radical's converted single-family home was bought in 2019 by his mommy and daddy through a dummy corporation, Chucuito LLC, for just under $1 million, property records show.Another rich-bitch socialist layabout, via beckster:
Since then, it has undergone a major facelift, with renovations done to its entire front facade, the planting of lush landscaping, the revamping of the interior and the addition a pair of decks on the roof as well as near the front door, according to plans filed with the borough in 2023. Updates to the property continued Tuesday at least on its second floor, The Post observed. "My son and my other son both live there," Gordillo's father said when reached by phone. "The LLC purchased the home, and then we did the renovations." Gordillo and his DSA comrades have meanwhile railed against property ownership, calling for a redistribution of land "from landowners to the landless." Gordillo also recently attacked landlords in a vitriolic interview on Fox News last month, when he offered up little sympathy for property and other business owners who skate by with small margins.
"We don't think that anybody should have the constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment," he said. ... It was unclear whether Gordillo, who listed the LES one-bed, one-bath as his primary residence at that time, repaid his parents for rent. Calls to him were not returned.
Hon. Vickie PaladinoThe Korean women's spa forced by the Ninth Circuit to allow men in their spas to show their dicks to women is appealing to the Supreme Court.
@VickieforNYC 44m Very interesting email just came our way about yet another superstar DSA rich kid who needs his parents to bail him out. Shocking, I know. So it turns out that DSA strategist Morris Katz was, according to this very reliable source, renting a $5,700/month luxury apartment on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn and just stopped paying rent one day. He apparently bounced several checks, dodged calls from the management company, super, and landlord, lied about being 'out of town', overstayed his lease, and then left all his belongings behind to be dealt with by the staff. Ultimately his rich parents, of course, bailed him out with the landlord, presumably to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Again, this is the DSA. A group of spoiled brats who cannot even manage their own lives, yet supposedly have all the answers for how our entire world should be run. An absolute joke. Many more details to come on this. Stay tuned!
A women-only Korean spa in Lynnwood, WA, is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a Ninth Circuit court ruling that requires the facility to accommodate transgender individuals. The legal battle stems from a complaint filed by a transgender woman who had not undergone gender-affirming surgery and was denied admission to the facility. According to attorneys who are defending the spa, the state of Washington said the spa must allow males who identify as women into its nude, female-only facility. What we know: Olympus Spa is a traditional Korean day spa that serves women and girls ages 13 and older, offering services in communal areas where patrons are fully unclothed. The spa is asking the nation's highest court to overturn a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. According to attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom and Pacific Justice Institute, who are defending the spa, the state of Washington said the spa must allow males who identify as women into its nude, female-only facility. Kevin Snider, chief counsel with the Pacific Justice Institute, stated that the company's policy is rooted in both religious beliefs and traditional cultural norms regarding modesty. "They believe that men and women should not be unclothed in each other's presence unless they are married to each other," Snider said. "That's their Christian view, and then of course... it violates their cultural sensibilities." ... What's next: If the Supreme Court agrees to review the petition, consideration would likely take place in late winter or early spring, with a potential ruling issued sometime in the spring.
Polls, schmolls:
Some Jewish Democrats are exhorting others to join them in voting for Mike Rogers for Michigan Senator.
Quantus Insights
@QuantusInsights
Really interesting work from Patrick Ruffini. Across 3,312 Senate polls over four cycles, he finds a D+3.7 average error, with 73% overstating Democrats. Even more interesting is that the error peaks around D+5.9 in late July before narrowing toward Election Day. That adds an important dimension to what we found in our broader Quantus Insights Apr 23, 2025 study. We documented a persistent post-2016 directional error, including roughly D+4.2 across presidential battlegrounds, with some of the largest misses among working-class, rural and non-college electorates. Aside from this problem being directional there's also a seasonal component too, particularly in midterms, when summer polling can substantially overstate Democratic strength. It's not until days into October before the electorate comes into clearer focus. Senate (2020) / 2016 - 2024 Battlegrounds.
Abdulrahman El-Sayed doesn't need Jews, though. He's pitching himself to Christians by telling them, "I'm basically Jesus, because we're both radicals."
Jewish leaders in Michigan are circulating an open letter urging Jewish Democrats and independents in the battleground state to sign their names in support of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) as he faces Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democratic nominee for Senate whose hostile positions on Israel have alarmed many Jewish voters. The letter, which was obtained by Jewish Insider on Wednesday and has not yet been publicized, is led by Eric Bronstein, a Detroit businessman, among others identifying as Democrats and independents. It came to light after a fundraiser for Rogers on Tuesday night hosted by three prominent Jewish Democratic bundlers in Michigan who are likewise alarmed by El-Sayed's candidacy. The growing efforts among Jewish Democrats to rally support for Rogers in the key Senate race illustrate the degree to which El-Sayed has alienated a sizable and politically active swing voting bloc in what is expected to be a close election. "We know it is unusual for many Jewish voters to support a Republican candidate for senate and we understand the implications," Bronstein wrote in a recent email courting Jewish signatories that was also reviewed by JI. "Our fellow Jewish voters need to see their friends and neighbors -- including you -- willing to take a stand in this specific, crucial race." Bronstein did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday. The open letter, which the authors intend to share online once it has gained "a significant initial group of signers," emphasizes that many signatories "have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles." "All of us have felt threatened and alienated by the politics and allies embraced by Abdul El-Sayed," the letter continues, "which has included demonization of Jews, equivocation on terrorism, exclusion of Jewish Americans from public life, and expression of implacable hatred of the world's only Jewish nation." If El-Sayed were to claim victory in the general election, the authors say, "we fear the far-left and anti-Jewish elements in the Democratic party would become dominant, including in the imminent 2028 presidential race," when Michigan will be among the early nominating states in the Democratic primaries. "We cannot allow him to become the Democratic standard-bearer or Michigan's senator."

Given the persistent bias mentioned earlier in that post ("D+3.7 average error", "the error peaks around D+5.9 in late July"), it isn't necessary to wait until October for a "clearer focus", though the bias does unfortunately vary somewhat across years.

FL Dem Senate candidate Angie Nixon says she wants a "pathway to citizenship" for Haitian immigrants, partly because of "the culture they bring here."
In the next breath, she says they can't be sent back, because of how dangerous their own country is.
The left: Calling Haiti a shit hole country is pure racism. Nothing else!

Would it be legal for a police detective to start a podcast, like Your County After Dark, then invite locals he has suspicions about, and just ask some open-ended questions? Would the answers be evidence admissible in court? Because I suspect that many would just openly blab whatever, once you put a camera and a microphone in front of them.

What’s crazy is that progressive stances are deemed to be extreme when literally every other 1st world country has already implemented the policies most important to us.
It seems like the Democratic Party has coalesced around the nominee after all.
Exactly. The voters of the loser of said primary are usually in their feelings for about a week or so, then they tend to snap out of it and vote for the better option.
I haven't seen a single Democrat in the wild have a problem with the direction of the party, only the talking heads. Specifically people like Bill Maher and Destiny.
Now if only Jasmine Crockett would support James Talarico in Texas.
And here I was told Mike Rogers could beat Abdul. Go figure the guy who lost to Elissa Slotkin in a year where Democrats lost every single swing state might lose to a *good* candidate in a good year for Democrats.

Many such cases, as Elon Musk saysEx-CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin gets stunningly candid about her sex life: 'Pretty damn good'Was anyone asking? I sure wasn't.
This sounds a lot like a whore bragging.
Brooke Baldwin is opening up about her sex life in startlingly candid fashion -- declaring she's "pretty damn good" in bed, revealing four different men recently tried to sleep with her and insisting casual sex was "very much on the table" before she turned them all down.
Oh wow, a divorced woman joined a dating app. Breaking news! Thanks for sharing. Now she remembers she's a feminist and so she's not supposed to feel validation due to the sexual attention of men. So she questions if she's flattered and all, and decides she's not, because it's obvious she's hot.
The former CNN anchor, 47, made the eyebrow-raising admissions in a Substack post published over the weekend, writing that she had recently rejoined a dating app and found herself fielding attention from four men -- including one who "used to run a country," another who "literally flew in just to take me to dinner," and a third she described simply as "hot." "Bottom line? I am flattered," Baldwin initially wrote before catching herself.
She wants you to know that she's a whore, but she's saving her Whore Energy for "a larger purpose."
"Hang on. Am I???" "That's so old-school-Brooke-I-just-want-to-be-Chosen talking. No. I'm not flattered. I'm... unsurprised. There. There's the truth."
The veteran broadcaster, who was previously married to British producer James Fletcher before she filed for divorce in 2023, said she ultimately rejected all four men despite describing herself as someone who enjoys sex. "What did I do?" Baldwin wrote. "Turned them all down. Every. Single. One." "And y'all know... I love sex. If I may be so bold, I'm pretty damn good at it." She added that she has previously written that "sex to me is like oxygen" and said she has been upfront that she is "not looking for a serious relationship right now." "So casual sex? It's very much on the table. I've thought about it. A lot," she wrote. "It could be empowering. It would almost certainly be pleasurable. And I'm a grown-ass woman with choices."
Baldwin said she nevertheless decided against sleeping with any of the men because she wants to devote her energy to what she described as a larger purpose. "In this particular season of my life, I care too much about what I'm building to let my energy scatter in a dozen directions," she wrote, describing that philosophy with a single word: "LEAKY." "It isn't punishment. It's protection. Protection of the life I'm trying to build."Men and women have different ways of dealing with middle age. Men, infamously, spend a lot of money on a sportscar they've coveted since they were 15. But women, particularly leftwing women, deal with middle age by going through a "Messianic Phase," in which they suddenly become Philosopher-Priestesses who have So Much to Share with the World. If they're rich celebrity women, they adopt a Whitman's Sampler pack of third world children. They also tend to start Lifestyle Brand online businesses where they sell candles that smell, they advertise, like their private parts. They also sometimes just sleep around a lot. Brooke Baldwin is combining the two Copes. I'm not a prude, but I do object to someone of such slight public interest deciding she's going to Overshare the mundane details of her tawdry life with all of us. Is that really for us? No, of course not. It's for Brooke. She's not being validated enough since CNN fired her -- a "negotiated settlement," as she calls it -- so she's going to validate herself. And she's got more unsexy tidbits to share.
Note to gentlemen who prefer blondes: she's not interested in a one-night stand. Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin said she craves "more intimacy" in her relationships -- and gave The Post a clue about the next steps in her career.Again, who is asking? No one. She's doing what insecure women do, which is to go on social media, say something sexual, and wait for desperate men to tell them how hot they are. I mean, this is the image she's using to drum up attention:
... "I don't want less intimacy. I want more," she wrote in the post published Sunday. "I love being deeply known, and knowing someone deeply in return," she added. "Instead I crave spaciousness -- in partnership or out of it."
White Aging-Feminist Messiah Complex. "I have so much more to give. There must be something more to me. Right? Right? There has to be! I'm almost sure of it!" It's the whole Eat-Pray-Love cycle. Have casual sex, spend money on restaurants, buy some trinkets and incense and get "spiritual." She has some media project that will Heal Us All. And maybe some candles that smell like her privates. I'm in control of my sexuality, Male Gazers! Here is a picture of my breast implants to show you that I'm the one in control of my sexuality, Male Gazers!
Baldwin's latest essay also offered a tantalizing clue about her professional future. The former anchor revealed that she is "building something of my own now" and added parenthetically: "we start shooting in two weeks!!!" She did not provide additional details about the project on her blog.
But in a statement to The Post, Baldwin revealed that she has spent the past several months developing an independent journalism project called "America, Tell Me Everything," which will take her around the country reporting on women from different backgrounds.There you go. I can feel the healing already.
"After twenty-plus years in mainstream media, I'm doing journalism on my terms," Baldwin told The Post on Wednesday, adding that she plans to tell stories with and about women "whose lives and experiences may look nothing like mine or each other's." The revelations come after Baldwin stunned readers last month by dishing about her sex life, revealing that her rejected suitors include a man who "used to run a country" and another who "literally flew in just to take me to dinner." While she declined each opportunity, she left little doubt about her enthusiasm for sex itself. ... Baldwin wrote the piece on a flight back home from Paris, describing the trip as largely solo. She didn't divulge who, if anyone, she spent time with in the famously romantic capital. The scribe delved deeper into what she has learned about maintaining her independence and boundaries while in a relationship, writing that she has a tendency to nurture those around her to such an extent that she can lose sight of her own needs. "I love to give. And if I'm not careful, it's also one of the quickest ways I leave myself," she wrote.Is she 14? Is this MySpace?
AlejandroThat is a great point.
@AlejandroCO303 The woman bragging publicly about how she likes to get fucked was aghast when Clay Travis said the word "boobs" on her show
Brooke Baldwin, who claimed to be offended when I said the first amendment & boobs on CNN, now has a Substack where she poses in bras and writes about the men she bangs. She wrote a piece saying I should be fired for what I said on CNN! (Via @megynkelly). https://t.co/XW80WI8KZS

Here, I looked it up. Google AI.
The fired co-worker you are referring to is Rick Sanchez.
He was fired from CNN in October 2010 after making controversial comments during a radio interview, where he called late-night host Jon Stewart a "bigot" and suggested that Jewish people ran CNN and the broader news media.
Brooke Baldwin had been working as Sanchez's on-air contributor and "sidekick" on his show, Rick's List.
Following his sudden firing, Baldwin was tapped to fill his time slot. This opportunity ultimately launched her 11-year run as a main daytime anchor for the network.
Okay. Thanks for the energy boost ace. Back to work.

I would add that middle-aged women without anything else stable or worthwhile in their lives are also feeling the heat of younger ladies taking their men, their jobs, and their self-worth.
So they constantly have to brag and posture as a plea for "I'm still relevant and hot and awesome!"
There's a reason the "cougar" has become a thing. And any cougar in the world will tell you she's a cougar within 15 minutes of meeting them. They are desperate to claw back some power from the younger generations taking it from them.

I'm not sure where this Flaunting Your Mature Female Sexuality literary trend started, but it might have been Caitlin Flanagan?
It has metastasized into completely dispensable explications of every trivial impulse or experience in existence. Instead of Thomas Friedman talking to a taxi driver, it's some matron dropping off her kid in her $100,000 SUV at a private school and ruminating for ten paragraphs on the implications of her daughter's red hair.
Or a shopping trip where someone held a door for her, or the meaning of watching t.v. in your bedroom, or omg.
Do some research and write an actual book like Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, or write a cheesy thriller, or get a job as a model. Monetizing your status as a horny middle-aged woman is not the feminist master-stroke.

Very interesting email just came our way about yet another superstar DSA rich kid who needs his parents to bail him out. Shocking, I know.
So it turns out that DSA strategist Morris Katz was, according to this very reliable source, renting a $5,700/month luxury apartment on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn and just stopped paying rent one day.
He apparently bounced several checks, dodged calls from the management company, super, and landlord, lied about being 'out of town', overstayed his lease, and then left all his belongings behind to be dealt with by the staff.
Ultimately his rich parents, of course, bailed him out with the landlord, presumably to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

13 What was the accurate dollar figure on the value of equipment abandoned in place over there in Afghani land? Trucks, Black Hawk helicopters, fully automatic machine guns, secure radios, night vision goggles, etc etc. I've heard anywhere from 7 Billions to 70 Billions of dollars.

There was one small silver lining to the Fall of Kabul. On on of the anniversaries, the Taliban press office tweeted out a photo of the captured equipment. And when the internet made fun of their trucks for wearing what looked like shower caps or clean-room booties, they said it was because the tires were made by homosexuals, and easily degraded.
Objectively hilarious.

Very interesting email just came our way about yet another superstar DSA rich kid who needs his parents to bail him out. Shocking, I know.
So it turns out that DSA strategist Morris Katz was, according to this very reliable source, renting a $5,700/month luxury apartment on Lorimer Street in Brooklyn and just stopped paying rent one day.
huh. Just like that rich bitch nepo baby who refused to pay rent in a $4,000 per month apartment for over a year and bankrupted her *african* landlord.

I generally reject these notions about what she "should" be doing -- grandmothering in her case? -- unless she actually has grandkids who are missing her. But I don't care about her not meeting societal expectations.
It's what she's actually doing that she shouldn't be doing. Acting on Main Character syndrome, manufactured, of all things, out of her notions of her own hotness. It's such a lazy and narcissistic route. Like I said, if she thinks she's all that, get to an agency and see if you can make it as a model or actress. Run yourself ragged going on auditions and go-sees. Start a cosmetics brand or a fashion line for 40+ women. Do some actual WORK.

Hanoi Jane Fonda's been running this scam for decades, but it's usually also tied to some other project she has going, like a book or movie coming out. Then she does and interview with tittilating tidbits of her past life.
"I had same-sex relationships!"
"Roger Vadim MADE me have threesomes!"
"Did you know I fucked Warren Beatty?"
"I'm 82 and I still have sex with hot men!"
Three of these four options are some of the BIG PERSONAL REVELATIONS that she pulled out in interviews.

No, they don't. The audience for her slut-whore show isn't men. It's women. She is desperate to show other ladies -- and especially younger ladies -- that she still "has it" and men still find her hot and desirable. She wants to try to maintain her status in the pecking order of her female peers.
Men above the age of 17 are too smart to fall for her "I'm a slut" routine. We know better. See my comment above.

Fake News Jake Blames the "Horrific" Fall of Kabul on Trump, Without Mentioning that It Was Joe Biden Who Actually Oversaw the Botched Bugout
He's always the last to know.Fake Jake is All About the Troops, including the Taliban troops.
Jake Tapper Notes the Anniversary of the 'Horrific' Fall of Kabul, With One Glaring Omission
Objectivity in the media stands as the elusive conceit for many. Journalists love to tout that as their standard, yet for so many, it stands as a supreme challenge. Look, we get it; the desire to slam President Trump and the administration is substantial, but when Jake Tapper cannot even deliver the barest amount of balance, well, that is a sign of a problem. Maybe it is a pathology. The effects of TDS are substantial, sure, but can there not be some sign of an effort being applied? Tapper set the table to serve both sides, then removed the chairs to prevent participation in one half of the setting. On State of the Union he closed out the episode wanting to recognize the fifth anniversary of the failed pullout of American troops from Kabul. All just fine, so far. He acknowledged the FUBAR nature of that mission, and used proper terms to describe the calamitous extraction efforts. "Disastrous", "horrific", and other negatives were employed, all accurately. It was inevitable, sure, that the fall of Kabul, and Afghanistan (what could more accurately be described as a surrender) would fold into the current Iran conflict. Tapper brought up President Trump, and also Secretary Pete Hegseth in his segment. But what was remarkable was what he did not mention. Throughout his soliloquy, the name "Joe Biden" was never uttered. The former president was never pictured in the graphics as the CNN anchor spoke, unlike the current officeholders. This is a remarkable effort to elide by the host, given the stern descriptions he gave of the extraction from Kabul. Something that stands as one of the biggest scars on the Biden term in the White House does not merit mention of the man?! To see just how much Jake Tapper strained to avoid mention of Biden, look at the passage he used first to bring up Trump's name: "Many Afghans who fought with the U.S. -- risked their lives for the U.S. -- remain stranded abroad after the Trump administration halted the special immigrant Visa program."
This is Jake using willful obfuscation. It needs to be pointed out, apparently, on this, the 5-year anniversary, that bringing Afghan allies to the U.S. has been a problem for at least 4.6 of those years. The president at the time, whom Tapper does not want to invoke in his memoriam, was being scorched by his own party in the months following the Kabul fiasco. We understand Tapper's desire to steer away from culpability with Biden. But bringing up what has to be considered his most glaring failure while straining to avoid tying him to that debacle is pure folly. It is also undiluted bias on display.
Speaking of scandal-plagued fake "journalists:" A leftwing "reporter" and major dicksuck for Zohran Mamdani has been found to have committed plagiarism 67 times and has been fired by New York Magazine. (Well, they will no longer publish his work.) He shouldn't bother killing himself, though, because he's white so people are allowed to notice his fraud and plagiarism.
New York Magazine has ended its publishing of political writer Ross Barkan after an internal review found 67 pieces that contained improperly attributed language, information, and/or sourcing. The magazine launched the review after a Washington Post reporter flagged similarities between the opening of one Barkan story and an earlier piece he had written on the same subject. NPR later reported additional plagiarism allegations. New York Magazine said in a statement that the 67 columns "did not include proper attribution of language, information and/or sourcing." The publication said it is updating the affected articles with proper attribution and remains "committed to addressing any other instances that come to light." "Upon conclusion of the review, we have determined that we will no longer publish his column," New York Magazine said. "We regret that his work did not live up to our editorial standards, and apologize to the writers whose work was not appropriately attributed." ... "In the course of nearly 250 pieces, there were times I should have been more careful with my citation," he added. "I'm sorry about these errors and will work to do better, more careful work in the future." Barkan has been a prominent supporter of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani served as campaign manager for Barkan's 2018 state Senate campaign, a connection Barkan has referenced in his Substack and elsewhere.
It defies common sense to see @JakeTapper invoking President Trump when discussing the anniversary of the debacle f the Afghanistan evacuation.

I've seen egregious media bias via omission. And, I've seen deceitful media bias via misrepresentation of facts and events. BUT, when you use both techniques at the same time, on an event that is still pretty fresh in the living population's mind, you take on the facade of a 3 year old lying about stealing a cookie of the counter while covered in cookie crumbs.

That was actually going to be the departure date.
I don't know who in his cabinet, or whether Obama himself dialed in, to convince him that the optics of doing so on that specific anniversary was a less-than-stellar idea.
Unfortunately, they didn't convince him not to bug out on a hard deadline either, nor to plan it better.
But hey, at least the Feminazis finally got a real-life The Handmaiden's Tale to point to. Except it's in a Muslim country, so they can't exactly point to it.

To this day, the left maintains that because Trump originally planned on a withdrawal around that time, it's his withdrawal, as if Biden, the then-"president" and CinC, was utterly powerless to stop Trump's misguided withdrawal plan.

I was curious about the white Stratocaster with the reverse headstock. AI says the guitar is Jeff Beck's 2014 Fender Custom Shop own signature model, and the player is Johnny Depp, who had it on permanent loan. (It was given back on Jeff's death in January 2023, and his estate has loaned it out to other musicians since.)
Unfortunately, his $2500 signature production model has a regular headstock, and even his Custom Shop signature is shown likewise. (The reverse makes more mathematical sense to me, giving more tension to lower strings that need it, and less to higher ones that don't.)
To get it looking like the real thing, you would either have to order a bespoke model for who knows how much, buy the production model and replace the neck yourself -- Player II and Warmoth necks are available with reverse headstocks -- or maybe just buy the $1300 Jimi Hendrix signature Strat, and replace the nut and pickups. That last option would have a maple fingerboard instead of rosewood, but that's what it looks like in the video anyway.

God I can't believe people can despise NPR so much when compared to the New York Post side by side. The whole news values of the Post spend so much time detailing how this guy's a lefty and the magazine he worked for published an anti-Israel story and that Mamdani was his campaign manager eight years ago when it's not even relevant to the actual story.
Lol at New York Post trying to make it about Mamdani. That basically every story they write currently.
every centrist democrat on twitter is making it about mamdani. why do we have so many neoliberals lurking this sub. Hillary should be in jail
looking through these specific examples, I found them underwhelming. It's a bunch of stuff like technical lists from a source that he used verbatim in an article about the same subject. This feels very overblown.

I've long thought that outside of the "hard" sciences and academia, the rest of academia is a bukkake human centipede writhing in their own mucous.
Retarded buffoons like Jason Arday and Claudine Gay are just the tip of the iceberg. All of these clowns are sucking each other's dicks and ejaculating the same slime into their papers.

And Trump wouldn't actually expose them to that danger... the Iran war is unpopular as it is, and if the IRGC sent the WH Press Corps hurtling into the Zagros Mountains in a shattered aircraft, any remaining support would collapse.

Plus he's just an irritating drama queen writer:
I understand, intellectually, why it is I’m supposed to care for Israel—Zion was promised at the end of one World War and guaranteed after the Holocaust—and why it matters, now, Israel has been under attack. I grieve for the civilians Hamas slaughtered. But I grieve, too, for civilians slaughtered everywhere—in Sudan, Ethiopia, Armenia, and Maine—and I struggle to care more about one foreign country over another. Well, the Zionist has an easy retort: you are Jewish. But I, as an American Jew, never demanded an ethno-state. I have never been to Israel and I would not feel safer there than I would in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I have never been the victim of an anti-Semitic attack here. I do not wear a kippah, and never will. Perhaps the frum prefer Israel. But in their private moments, I doubt they’d say they’re better off in Israel than Borough Park or Midwood or Rockland County.

Williamsburg is a weird place. In the southern part, it's an orthodox jewish and hassidic stronghold. Fully 35% of all residents of Williamsburg are very conservative Jews.
It was traditionally very very Jewish overall. Lotsa holocaust survivors ended up in Williamsburg.
Then Williamsburg got VERY trendy in the last 20 years or so. It saw a yuge influx of younger, affluent residents who liked the proximity to Manhattan at a cheaper price point.
These are mostly leftwing hipsters and a heavy percentage of gays.

That was actually going to be the departure date.
I don't know who in his cabinet, or whether Obama himself dialed in, to convince him that the optics of doing so on that specific anniversary was a less-than-stellar idea.
Unfortunately, they didn't convince him not to bug out on a hard deadline either, nor to plan it better.

They didn’t risk their lives for the US. They risked their lives to save their own country.
And a LOT of these people who claimed to help us didn’t. We have many examples of people who said they did, and used that as a ticket (or attempted ticket) to come to the US. Many of them could not be screened, and Biden let them in anyway. In the end, the number who were legit terps, or actually helped the mission, and then were actually screened fully, is tiny.
And btw, why is helping us clean up your country a ticket to US citizenship anyway?

I had my first squad leader try that with me. Got me on checking the suspension on the platoon SUSV (Swedish-built Bv206 over-snow tracked vehicle issued as M/TOE equipment for Arctic warfare units). Method was to go to the motor pool, climb onto the vehicle roof and jump up and down while a co-conspirator E4 "measured" the track deflection with a ruler.
I learned my lesson though. He also sent me out looking for a box of grid squares. I got an extra map of the training areas and a pair of scissors. Had me doing pushups for a LONG time, but he never tried another snipe hunt.

Of course I knew Biden was in office, but as is now well know, he was not President! I didn't blame anyone specifically because I don't know who in the Politburo to blame!
As far as Trump goes, when he was in his first term he could have just as abjectly and cowardly ordered the abandonment of Kabul, so on that basis I feel it is fair to blame him.
Besides, you should be nicer, because Bari Weiss says soon you won't have Fake Jake Blabber to kick around any more! You'll have to go back to Jonah!

Fauci's Partner-in-Crime David Morens Pleads Guilty to Illegal Evasion of Federal Records Laws (to Cover Up His Complicity in Covid)
The media is largely ignoring this story, to focus on the Real News, which is Democrat Senator Jon Ossof's WITHOUT EVIDENCE conspiracy theory that Trump is having an affair with his aid.
David Morens, former NIAID adviser, pleads guilty in COVID-19 records schemeDoes that suggest that he's flipped and will testify against Peter Daszack -- and Anthony Fauci? I know Fauci seems to be protected. But I'd like the truth on the record, even so.
Washington -- A former senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from a scheme to hide federal records during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under a deal reached with federal prosecutors in Maryland, David Morens, 78, agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses and to defraud the United States. He faces up to five years in prison. Morens, a senior adviser at NIAID's Office of the Director from 2006 to 2022, was indicted in April and charged with five counts for what prosecutors said at the time was his role in a scheme to defraud the U.S. by shielding federal records related to the COVID-19 pandemic from the public. Tim Belevetz, a lawyer for Morens, said, "By pleading guilty today, Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he did and will continue to do so."
He also accepted a dinner at a Michelin-rated restaurant.
Prosecutors said Morens worked with two co-conspirators. The first, "co-conspirator 1," served as the president and CEO of a New York-based nonprofit that received a grant in 2014 titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence." The Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, received a subaward from the New York group on the coronavirus grant, prosecutors said, though the National Institutes of Health terminated the award in April 2020 following allegations that COVID-19 emerged from the lab. The NIAID is part of the NIH. The second co-conspirator was described in charging documents as a physician, scientist and professor who worked for an academic institute that received federal grants. Emails made public by the GOP-led Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic indicate that the New York-based nonprofit is the EcoHealth Alliance and co-conspirator 1 is its president, Peter Daszak. ... According to the guilty plea, Morens and the two co-conspirators agreed to exchange emails about COVID-19 and its origins, as well as the terminated coronavirus grant, through Morens' personal Gmail account, rather than his official NIH account, to hide federal records and evade public records laws. Morens and his co-conspirators also used his Gmail account to share nonpublic information from the NIH about COVID-19 and "back-channel" information to an unidentified senior NIAID official, who appears to be Anthony Fauci, the institute's former director, according to court filings. Morens also admitted as part of his guilty plea that he and co-conspirator 1 conspired to pay illegal gratuities. Court records show that Morens received two bottles of wine in June 2020 from co-conspirator 1 for his "behind-the-scenes shenanigans," which were delivered to his Maryland house.

Nope. But Fauci's pardon does not cover state offenses either and some states are beginning to consider opening investigations. Depraved indifference to human life is actually a criminal charge in some of them and Fauci certainly qualifies as depraved and indifferent.

Yes, prosecute him regardless. Get a judge on record denying the case. And just start stacking the cases. Get them all on record.
Why? Because Trump will have to issue pardons if a DEMarxist gets elected in 2028. Best to have the entire judiciary fuck up any challenges.

Conspiracy. Malpractice. Maybe Negligent Homicide.
And that does not even touch the financial side where he invested early in an MRNA company that made bank... while ensuring MRNA vaccines got an emergency approval by not allowing Ivermectin to be used for Covid (can't get an emergency approval if there is already a medicine available to fight the disease, it would have to go through standard approval).

My guess is that Daszack saw which way the wind was blowing and went right over to Langley to make a deal with them. He likely teased potential intelligence tidbits on China and will acquire protection from prosecution. Sort of like how Epstein did so in his first arrest, and only getting sentenced to a half-way house which no records ever showed he attended.

Yep, done to avoid FOIA on purpose.

Also later did chats on Discord and probably use Signal or other encrypted chat apps now for the same off the books chats.

whig, you beat me to the answer. I've also noticed the depraved indifference to human life. It's one thing to make an erroneous decision and then revise after more information.
On the other hand, we have Fauci's actions: saying one thing in private, but another in public. Hopefully, we have one or more aggressive state AG decide to prosecute this psycho. On top of his "diary" now we have phone text messages: the private acknowledgement of WHO concerns about 1st trimester miscarriages, then publicly telling pregnant women that the COVID vaccine was completely safe for them.
What a bunch of repugnant scumbags.

Weak D field brings out the prospective Bill Clinton candidates--like in 1992, sometimes you get lucky by taking a shot. Same reason AOC might run--2028 and open presidential seat is about the best shot she is going to have.
2032 if illegals are deported and from the Census shifts in the Electoral College make it a lot more challenging for Dems at that point.
Consolation prize is VP for many of these D yutes. But remember that FDR was a failed VP nominee as young man for James Cox in 1920.

18 percent of Tossoff's campaign donations came from Georgians. 72 percent from out of state. He raised nearly 35 million to fight a losing election in the Atlanta suburbs over a house seat in 2018, again from out of state. Tossoff is Vindman, a carpetbagger supported by out of state or even smurfed Act Blue illegal contributions from foreigners. Accomplished nothing of note other than winning the obvious fraud laden election of 2020. So an example of the few creepy white males left in the Dem party like Talarico in Texas.

Paxton already has statewide name recognition for better or worse winning statewide races and surviving the vile GOPe impeachment crap from Phelan and other Bushworld GOPe rats.

Most know Talarico is a freak. I've seen a few Paxton ads, but only on YouTube videos and streaming.
I am only slightly concerned, but have all the faith in the world that the heretic Talarico will be seen for what he is and get blown away, as he should.

Urban Dem fraud. In fact, Perdue likely won the original election outright in 2020 which would have negated Tossof winning in the runoff. GA law was 50 percent plus one vote and Perdue was above that before the water leak occurred and ballots were brought out from under the table to be scanned in the dead of night.

We had male & female cats and bought a couple of stuffed hedgehog and mouse toys.
We'd throw them across a room -- usually trying to hide them behind or under obstacles -- and each would retrieve its favorite, howling repeatedly as if having proudly caught a rodent and saved us from invasion.
Oddly, the male loved the hedgehogs, and the female the mice.

His strength as a candidate was pretending to be normal. Sistah Soulja, etc.
If a candidate came forward saying things like "it's wrong to hurt whites" or "don't intimidate Jews" or "chopping a child's dick off is a naughty thing to do" or "private property is a right," the base would sit it out - if one of them didn't just put on his fursuit and shoot that guy with a sniper rifle.
Their base isn't like the Right's. You can't just come out and say "guess what? You'll get nothing you want and like it. Vote for me or else Republicans will be the ones who do nothing you want, instead of a Democrat like me," and have them say "oh, ok, I'll just go get my cuck chair, then."

He had been asked to leave the region/agency put he dug in. He was then sat in a windowless room in D.C. for ages and eventually just walked the halls and went into meetings where he wasn't known.
Then it was the trial & be fired for ^ or leave. He finally left and ran a very successful consulting business.
But in the lengthy process between agency allegations and departure, he wound up divorced, had to sell a house for his lawyer fees, lost his agency reputation.
He was luckier than a lot of lower graded personnel whenever it hit the fan.

Virginia Mother Slaughtered in Daylight By Yet Another Violent Foreign Criminal Invited Into the Country by Joe Biden
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ BREAKING: I'm told by federal source that the suspect arrested in Fairfax County, VA for the stabbing murder of a mother near a jogging trail in Great Falls, VA is a Salvadoran illegal alien who was caught and released at the border by the Biden admin in El Paso, TX in April 2024. Fairfax County Police announced the arrest of 19-year-old Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos this morning in connection to the stabbing killing of Carmen Lizet Puch on Monday and released a photo of his arrest. I've also included a photo of Cedillos-Campos from when he was in Border Patrol custody in 2024, courtesy of a federal source. NBC Washington reports Puch was 42-years-old and had a young daughter.
End WokenessI have a big update to a story I linked, but didn't really explore, yesterday. Yesterday I mentioned that Fairfax County "prosecutor" Steve Descano -- supported by George Soros, of course -- had allowed a violent extremist Islamic killer to escape the country. First, he pressured a judge to find him not guilty of murdering his landlord by reason of insanity. Then, he let the guy go to the airport and flee the country. Here's the update: I sort of assumed that this was an unintended outcome. Yes, Descano is awful and attempts to drop charges against every foreign criminal, but it never occurred to me that he deliberately helped this Islamic foreign murderer flee the jurisdiction. I think I was wrong. Descano actually helped get this guy a passport and then allowed the mental hospital he was being kept at to let him out for a weekend furlough. At which point he somehow obtained a plane ticket and fled the jurisdiction. Descano won't deliver killers over to ICE. But he will get them a passport and let them go to the airport to flee the country as free men. John Sexton:
@EndWokeness UPDATE: He is an illegal that crossed the US border in 2024 Biden's DHS released him
[9WUSA:] A man named Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda is an illegal immigrant who entered the country back in 2009. A decade later, in 2019, Toshpulodzoda was accused of murdering his landlord in Vienna, Virginia.Steve Descano is a radical who refuses to deliver wanted foreign criminals to ICE and in fact refuses to charge illegal aliens so that they won't be deported. But he seems to have deliberately assisted a murder's flight from punishment here. This is a crime. As Sexton points out, Hannah Dugan was charged for attempting to help a foreign criminal flee her courthouse. The DOJ must investigate Descano -- and if he's guilty, he must be imprisoned. This is not just obstruction of justice. This is insurrection.Around 8:30 a.m. police responded to a stabbing in the 2900 block of Edgelea Road in Vienna, Virginia. Police found 61-year-old Mohammed Hemmatian suffering from stab wounds to his upper body. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died. The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine cause of death. The suspect, 27-year-old Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, stayed at the scene and was arrested and charged with murder. Toshpulodzoda was taken to the hospital for a routine evaluation, and while there he suffered a medical emergency. He is now stable.So there was really no question what happened here. Hemmatian, the elderly man who died, was Toshpulodzoda's landlord. Toshpulodzoda was covered in his blood. But, likely because of the pandemic, his case seems to have dragged on until 2022 when he was judged not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Development Services and wound up in a mental hospital in Falls Church, which is directly adjacent to the city where the crime happened. And that really should have been the end of his story, at least for many, many years or decades. But of course that's not what happened. Instead, a judge made clear that Toshpulodzoda was not to be released, but it seems the hospital had the right to issue patients day and weekend passes and they appear to have just ignored the court's directions.Why would Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano ask a murderer deemed insane to go and get a passport? Your guess is as good as mine.
In June, a judge reaffirmed that Toshpulodzoda "shall not be released from custody and inpatient hospitalization without further order of this court." However, Virginia law allows a mental health hospital to grant committed individuals, including those accused of murder, permission to leave the facility without an escort on day or weekend passes. In 2024, Toshpulodzoda was allowed to leave Virginia last year to travel to Washington, D.C., to get a passport, a move supported by the Commonwealth's Attorney.If they didn't want him released, why would he possibly need a passport in a mental institution. It's hard to come up with a possible answer to that one but you have probably guessed by now what happened. Last month, Toshpulodzoda was given another weekend pass and this time he bought a plane ticket and fled the country.
Sean Kennedy is a victim's rights advocate who says Descano and the State failed the victim and the victim's family... "The law in Virginia allows the psychiatrist, the same ones who are pushing for his release, to escort him to the courthouse and to issue these without a judge's ruling," said Kennedy. "The passport was issued at the behest of the prosecutors. They asked that he go and get a passport. Why would an accused killer who's mentally insane need a passport? He's being indefinitely incarcerated by the state. Why does he need a passport? The judge, the prosecutor, even his own defense counsel crossed the line in allowing that. And the psychiatrists were totally derelict in their duty to help him do it."... Descano's office said it's true that prosecutors did not oppose him taking an escorted visit to get his passport. But Descano's office said prosecutors opposed his release and that he should remain in state custody.

To be sure, she got a sweetheart sentence that avoided any jail time.
But she did get convicted and suffer real professional punishment, and she did nothing compared to Descano.

Does Tajikistan have extradition treaty with the US ?
"Tajikistan does not have a formal bilateral extradition treaty with the United States. Extradition requests can still be made on a case-by-case basis through diplomatic channels, relying on reciprocity."
hmm...Reciprocity....

it’s extremely corny and unprofessional for a police force to snap a picture of a suspect while apprehending them and posting it online like this. Even more so before charges have actually stuck.
Suspect knew the victim so all the "bad hombre" people saying how unsafe VA is calm down. When the police don’t talk much about the case, they already had a suspect.
So darn sad that parks and trails cannot feel safe . Absolutely Horrible.
IT'S 1 FUCKING INCIDENT. How do you people even go outside
The attack wasn't random. As long as you don't drive to the park with a knife-wielding murderer in your passenger seat, you should be fine.
So I guess fairfax will help him get a passport and a international plane ticket as well?

He was an illegal in CA who had a long rap sheet including rape and burglary.
He was arrested on Aug 4 for violating a home detention requirement and a CA Judge, Nichelle Holmes, immediately released Valdez.
Two days later, while trying to break into a home he murdered a man named Todd Stewart.
Because obviously a rapist and career criminal that ignores home detention is safe to send back to...home detention.

* Irregularities in “low execution rate, tied-up resources, and failures in contract traceability” at the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management, with just 4.3% of its total appropriation of $15.3 trillion,”
* Funds for child and family welfare for 332 contracts worth $557 billion in 2026 of which 94.3% of the funds were disbursed without this sustained increase translating into verifiable improvements in the well-being of the communities.
* The Army has a budget deficit of $14 trillion and a significant portion of its air capacity is grounded: ‘Only 8 of 19 MI-17 helicopters are operational, and 18 of 49 UH-60s are unavailable due to maintenance or a lack of resources.’ Similarly, in the Colombian Aerospace Force, 131 of 386 aircraft are not operational, and only 52% are available for flight. This in the face of expanded cartel and militia activity. There are 17 more main points.

If you accept the question on merit, then you declare yourself either unloving and weak or unprincipled and weak. There are ways to "handle" it but they definitely don't involve a simple yes or no.
That said - if you have real principles you can pretty easily answer it. I support the right to life in all cases - or even I don't think govenrment should have the power to kill a citizen under any circumstance, even one personally painful or devastating. Either way he would have to appear passionate, and he never did. It was always going to be an exposing question.

I'm not aware of evidence that the Willie Horton kerfuffle actually moved any needles. I think Dukakis was a loser on his own merits and all the Horton ad did was give the Ds and the media (BIRM) an opportunity to point and scream "Raaaacisssss!!!!" I.e. another day ending in y.

Even if it was Tajiki passport, that would still be hard to get with his record and the fact that he'd be getting it from within the USA and not his home country. I think it would still mean that someone was paid off.

You can easily cause it to fire negligently when drawing or otherwise if something gets caught inside the trigger guard. Holsters prevent that.
There are some specific gun adaptations that can make carry without a holster somewhat safer but not suitable really to discuss further unless a person has an absolute need to do it.
And fwiw, for jackets, suits, pants, you can make a carry holster out of velcro that holds the weapon at the correct draw angle, protects the trigger guard from the trigger being depressed and firing, and yet does not print the gun's outline to external observers. You can also buy these pants, jackets, or even a suit coat online with this already done.

Not openly. But practically, like under Biden, where border patrol "intercepted" illegals by assisting them with filing for asylum and getting temporary quarters, and then contacting NGOs to assist.
Then, like Obama, they'll use some twisted, fake metric (increase in border interceptions) to try and placate normies who want control, while actually accelerating the importation of migrants which all their radical supporters will know and support.

Once he was found mentally incompetent, and no one was gonna contest that finding, I'm glad he self-deported with help. He'd have been in and out of mental health like Irina's killer and would have killed more people here.
Now, he's his home country's problem. And they probably won't mess around when he harms or kills again. And Trump sure as hell won't ever let him back in.
And he paid for it himself.
Would I have preferred a competent to stand trial life sentence for a murderer. Yes. But with that off the table, this was the 2nd best option - he's gone and he paid to go and Tajikistan can do what they want with him there. There will be no "Maryland Man" drag out here...

The problem is that the judiciary is upholding bullshit decisions made by anti-administration politicos and handing down legal decisions that favor the illegals and the left in general.
The vast network of judges are, IMO, the acting government now. The administration is just reacting to what they do and tries to maintain order. They're succeeding, but they're stymied on a lot of things that shouldn't even be an issue.

Of course, the answer is that Karen wants to make men absolutely fucking miserable - it's the goal of the Sisterhood - and watching one escape her bony-fingered clutches and find something better than abject misery with a real woman is against nature, as far as she's concerned.
Karen believes the role of the American man is to make the payments on her Infiniti and raise her kids and keep her soaked in wine, so she can make him even more miserable then the Aztec yard boy who has to service her ice-cold, cobwebbed crotch while he works 80 hour weeks just to avoid her g-ddamned shrieking.

So State passed a LAW to make them put it on the ballot... so... Fresno sued saying the law is illegal under the State Constitution.
Well, Judge assigned was the Judge ELECTED in Fresno County... so State AG just somehow got him thrown off the case, and put in a Judge who is State Appointed (not Elected) who has personal ties to the person who WROTE the bill now in question.
All... somehow... Legal?

A Miami-Dade woman is facing charges after authorities said she poured hot wax on her daughter's hands before setting a fire in her kitchen. Meliza Campos-Sanchez, 26, was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation, known as a Baker Act, the reports said. It was later discovered she posted two videos to her Instagram account, including one that showed her in the kitchen using lit candles to pour melted wax on her leg and then in the hands of one of her two daughters, ages 6 and 3, the reports said.

LOL: Secret Architect of Trump's Impeachment, Ukranian Agent Alexander Vindman, Defeated by Lunatic DSA Candidate in Race for Senator from Florida
Ashley Moody, who took the seat when Marco Rubio took All the Jobs in Trump's government, was already a lock, but now she's the Iron Clad Lock of the Week. Lieutenant Bearclaw will spend more time with his pastries.
It's a Who's Who of Who's a Commie. Pronouns shim/sher.
Far-left Florida state lawmaker Angie Nixon shocked retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman in Tuesday night's special Democratic Senate primary. With most of the expected vote in, Nixon led Vindman, 56% to 44%, giving the far left a major success on an otherwise disappointing night in the Sunshine State. ... Nixon, 42, has been a member of the Florida House of Representatives since 2020, representing parts of her hometown of Jacksonville. Ahead of the primary, Nixon received endorsements from "Squad" Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.). Nixon was also backed by pro-Palestinian children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel and anti-Israel ex-Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.).
Here's the Scholar that Lt. Bearclaw lost to:
Like other far-left candidates in primaries around the country, Nixon has vowed to push for "Medicare for all," abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and end US aid to Israel if elected. Her victory came despite Vindman's massive fundraising advantage and name recognition stemming from his role in Trump's impeachment. Vindman had raised more than $16 million for his failed campaign while Nixon took in a meager $975,000, according to Florida Politics. ... Trump himself reveled in Vindman's defeat Tuesday night. "SleazeBag Vindman loses tonight to a Radical Left Lunatic. How cool is that???" the president wrote on Truth Social after the race was called.

AG
@AGHamilton29 The worst thing that can happen to you in a Republican primary is a Tucker Carlson endorsement. This cycle: - Paul Dans dropped out in SC (losing badly)
- Ryan Zink came in a distant 6th
- Massie lost by 10% And now con artist James Fishback is getting destroyed in Florida...
And in more great news for black political representation, noted Negro Pastor Debbie Wasserman-Schultz won the nomination in the only remaining majority-black district in Florida, so you can see how important Muh Representation is for Democrats.
Wasserman Schultz's bid for a 12th House term will continue after she soundly defeated four opponents in Florida's 20th Congressional District Democratic primary, including progressive activist Elijah Manley, who chided her for running the majority-minority district. Wasserman Schultz, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee, opted to run in the 20th District -- which is more than 60% black and Hispanic -- after state Republicans reconfigured her former district, making it more GOP-friendly.Republican House member Randy Fine easily beat one of Tuq'r Qarslon's Nazi pals. And when I say "Nazi," I am not exaggerating.
In Florida's 6th District GOP primary, Fine easily turned back a challenge by far-right influencer Dan Bilzerian, who suggested in one campaign ad that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler needed to be reassessed. Bilzerian, who referred to Fine as a "fat Jew," "Shylock," "Jewish supremacist," "Satanic whore," and "Satan's creepy little minion" in the shocking commercial, lost to the incumbent by nearly 40 percentage points.Both parties have Nazis, but only one party utterly rejects them:
Deborah CorsoObviously, Blizerian got the endorsement of fellow traveler Marjorie Trailer-Queen. More results:
@ViadelCorso2266 Because today I listened to a conservative space that at times sounded like a demoralization operation, I feel compelled to tell a story. And the most important part of this story IS THAT IT IS TRUE. Once upon a time, in a land called America, there lived two Nazis and two political parties: Graham Platner and Dan Bilzerian; the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Biilzerian, the Nazi openly praising Hitler, peddling his "It's us against the Jew" rhetoric is running for Congress in Florida as a Republican. Bilzerian has received exactly ZERO in Republican party committee contributions. He has received ZERO Republican financial support, ZERO coordinated spending, ZERO endorsements, ZERO assistance from the Republican National Committee (RNC) or the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). The ENTIRE Republican party establishment has aligned against him. Senators Ted Cruz and Rick Scott, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and other party figures publicly condemned him instead. No MAGA billionaire network opened its checkbooks or hosted fundraisers. No institutional PACs rode to the rescue. No Republican, including those described as MAGA campaigned for or with him. LET US COMPARE AND CONTRAST TO THE DEMOCRATS AND PLATNER. Compare the Republican Party's complete and total rejection of Bilzerian with the red carpet the Democrats rolled out for Graham Platner who literally had a Nazi Totenkopf carved into his chest. *Platner raked in tens of millions.
*Party committees (primarily the DSCC) filled his campaign coffers.
*Dozens of high profile Democratic politicians--Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ruben Gallego, Ro Khanna, and a long list of senators, representatives, and state officials--lined up to endorse him.
*Democrat Billionaires and millionaires maxed out donations: George Soros, Alexander Soros, members of the Pritzker and Stryker families, Waltons, and many, many more.
*Progressive PACs and unions piled on. This here Democrat Nazi, Platner, got the full apparatus of support of the Democratic party. This here Nazi was showered with endorsements from its leading lights and millions in institutional cash. While Bilzerian received nothing but disgust, rebuke and repudiation from the Republican party- (including the MAGA coalition), the Democrats cashed up their pet Nazi.
A trio of scandal-scarred pols -- incumbent Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and former Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) and Chris Collins (R-NY) -- suffered massive defeats in House primaries across the state. Mills' loss to former Orlando TV news reporter Ryan Elijah in the 7th District was the biggest. The Trump-backed incumbent, who is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for numerous disturbing allegations, is the 10th House incumbent to lose a primary election this cycle. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned from Congress last year after she was indicted by the feds for allegedly stealing $5 million in COVID-19 relief funds, finished a distant fourth in a failed comeback bid in Florida's 20th District. Collins, who resigned from Congress in 2019 after pleading guilty to insider trading and lying to the FBI, was among 10 candidates vying for the GOP nomination in Florida's 19th District, the seat being vacated by Donalds.Regarding Cory Mills: I don't know much about him, and I don't know why Trump endorsed him -- though it should be noted that Trump endorses incumbents over 90% of the time -- but he has a lot of baggage.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) lost his bid for a third congressional term Tuesday night to former Orlando TV news reporter Ryan Elijah. Elijah, who once hosted "Good Day Orlando" and "Orlando Matters" on Fox affiliate WOFL, led Mills 47.1% to 34.2% with almost all the vote counted. Mills, 46, had struggled to raise money as he fought a House Ethics Committee investigation of "serious and complex" accusations, including claims of domestic assault, stolen valor and financial misconduct. Elijah racked up dozens of endorsements in recent weeks, including from Mills' GOP colleagues Anna Paulina Luna and Mike Haridopolos. The 54-year-old Elijah, who previously made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in Indiana in 2010, said the late support from lawmakers showed Mills had "lost trust and confidence." "This isn't personal for me. I'm in it so we don't lose this seat," Elijah said during a debate earlier this month.Cory Mills apparently voted to save Ilhan Omar:
🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: Rep. Cory Mills, who was the deciding vote to protect Ilhan Omar from being stripped of her committees, UNSEATED by Ryan Elijah

But I think I found the real problem:
Mills is married to Rana Al Saadi. She's an Iraqi. According to their marriage certificate, they were married by Mohammed Al-Hanooti at the Dar Al-Hijirah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia.
Al-Hanooti's sermons included calls for holy war against non-Muslims and proclamations that Allah will curse the Americans, British, and Jews.
Mills went jihadi.

Lot of political junk out there by campaign strategists and the online politically engaged. And you have people repeating that shit here that strategists plant or some person they take as an authority. What is recent is the spin on the candidate debate with some claiming Darlene had a poor debate performance.
At the end of the day, it will depend on turnout. Norman, like other candidates has his own skeletons like getting megabux for Covid yet opposing relief for ordinary citizens.
And since Norman lost out on the governorship because for whatever reason, he wasn't appealing, his team immediately pivoted to the Senate race. They already have the relationships with the politically online, the strategists, etc. So it allows them to spin up narratives a bit faster than Darline's team has.
But the truth is it is a close turnoff race probably between Norman and Graham and not being a polished candidate will hurt Graham in some ways and help her in others. And SC's geography and prior political divisions from that will also play a part.

It has been helpful for the GOP primary voters to take out the trash like Crenshaw or Mills by voters or in some cases, by party officials like in Edward's case. But, in the rare case where the individual member is an asshole, like OH with Bernie Moreno's soon to be former son in law, Miller? mebbe, that trash is risking losing a safe GOP seat in a tight midyear despite a lot of people wanting him to drop out. I think the primary had already been done with the bad info surfaced about Domestic Violence claims by Moreno's daughter.

The 19-year-old was convicted in June and sentenced to 35 years behind bars for murdering the 17-year-old athlete at a high school track meet in April of last year.
On Wednesday, the trial judge who presided over the case was removed from the case as Anthony appeals his conviction.
His legal team argued that a retrial was warranted in part because state District Judge John Roach enforced overly strict courtroom rules and gave an interview after the trial was over.

Unless he has to spend it on lawyers with the S. Florida federal grand jury heating up. Vindman is a key figure of interest in the Democrat coup attempt over Russia Russia.

He was an illegal in CA who had a long rap sheet including rape and burglary.
He was arrested on Aug 4 for violating a home detention requirement and a CA Judge, Nichelle Holmes, immediately released Valdez.
Two days later, while trying to break into a home he murdered a man named Todd Stewart.
Because obviously a rapist and career criminal that ignores home detention is safe to send back to...home detention.

Like it or not, Lindsay was an extremely popular senator, even among some Democrat voters because he provided service to constituents. He inherited Strom Thurmond's legendary team and kept it going. So his sister, got tapped first as temporary senator by McHenry and she decided to run herself. If she wins, she wins, and if she loses, she loses as she has to make her own case to win to the voters but then again, so does Norman who lost the governor's race and even failed to make the runoff for it.
And in that runoff, Darline won most parts of the state other than Norman's home base in upstate SC in a crowded primary fair and square. So instead of telling other people who they should and should not vote for based on criteria I prefer, I prefer to let those people in that state hash it out.
So, let South Carolinians settle it, I don't care who they pick as there is no perfect candidate out there lurking.

You go into any frat room in any college in the country and the odds of finding a few grams of coke are high.
And they apparently have been building this case for years.
This might end up to be mostly about an aggressive prosecutor wanting to make a name prosecuting stupid white kids.

I honestly don't know--SC is a weird state politically with a substantial split between upstate and downstate that dates back to pre ACW times. It is a GOP machine state which started under Carroll Campbell as the first GOP governor and that blossomed with SC displacing leftward trending NH as the most important early GOP primary.
Norman was unable to make the runoff in a crowded gubernatorial field but was well set up to run a state race for Senate when Lindsay died and so he edged out retreads and no hopers to end up in the runoff with Darline.
Darline has scant actual experience as a candidate and it shows like in the debate. How much that counts versus prior name recognition and voter's genuine affection for her dead brother is going to be hard to fathom for outside observers. TJM, who is oddly absent today, might be teh best situated to comment on it.

On the other hand ex-president Petro is accusing De la Espriella of voter fraud and claims to have evidence. Colombia uses the same voting software as a lot of US states, so this is quite interesting.

Yea. And I'm not even sure that the ringleader guy who took the money wasn't just scamming stupid gullible parents.
They paid him millions, and he basically frauded up some sports pics. I don't think he really had any connections at the colleges to buy the kids' way in.
The parents were dumber than dumb. For the money they paid this scammer, they could have just made a direct donation to the school and got their brats in.

Maybe it was a cactus. If you try to think of a redeeming feature or character win you can find none. I have nothing other than wondering if she mated with the lights off after slipping drugs into his drink. Capturing him in her web while debating if she should then decapitate him. The next morning while looking at her he probably wished she had.

translation from El Espectador
[Ex President Alvaro Uribe's] analysis came after the De La Espriella administration submitted a report on Tuesday to the oversight agencies (the Attorney General’s Office, the Comptroller’s Office, and the Inspector General’s Office) that includes allegations regarding 22 critical areas of government operations, including ministries and departments under the Office of the President.
According to Uribe, this document describes a government “with simultaneous structural problems related to cash flow, debt, implementation, technical capacity, contracting, technology, information, and coordination.”
In that regard, “the great challenge is not only to discover who did what, but to determine how much it will cost to correct the problems identified and what can be fixed quickly without further paralyzing the government,” the former president emphasized.

The Uribe family has the same problem the Galan family had. Deep roots, family background and entry to the political machine, cut short by assassination by the Cartels.
De La Espriella is turning loose the dogs on the cartels, and most recently has announced that they have 4 Reaper drones, one owned by Colombia and three on loan from the US.
The Colombian Navy is also starting to round up drug trafficking FastBoats now, which I suspect is both a delight and a worry to elements of their armed forces.

[Our State Legislator, Mark Finchem, has proposed a bill barring criminalizing the latter.]
I'd like to see out-of-state domestic financing of campaigns and ballot measures criminalized as well, although the criminal syndicates will just use in-state straw-man cutouts, so likely ultimately wouldn't matter.

Thank you. Please note U.S. Rep. Mart Gay Scanlon's comments. (Read more about her background, her connections, her family & our PA 2018 redistricting.)
That's my voting district; she's my US Representative. We have an Africatown created within.
The county council has recently created a Human Relations Commission that can take appropriate action. CAIR Philadelphia is no stranger to the county or it's council. There is no Republican representation on the county council. (Even Philadelphia has a few seats for city Republican representation though they are not on the city council.)
Eminent domain is a part of their government, part of the governor's too.

Wednesday Morning Rant
The Fox News coverage is interesting in its framing:
Fox News Power Rankings: As Democrats turn left, Black voters tap the brakesThe headline and subheadline alone tell the story, but the article removes any ambiguity about the framing:
Two-thirds of young Americans and 71% of Hispanics disapprove of Trump, but Black voters haven't fully returned
Black voters haven't come all the way home yet. One in five Black Americans approves of Trump, but only 69% say they'll support a Democrat in their district. That’s 21 points below Biden's 2020 share of the Black vote, when he thanked those voters for delivering his victory.Note the language. Black voters have yet to "fully return" or "come home" to the Democrats in terms of candidate support. You see, black voters belong to the Democrat Party. They are Party property. They may have strayed over the past couple of years, but they'll return home eventually. Just like a lost pet. As one of the least sophisticated press outlets, Fox News is more foolish than most in inadvertently saying the quiet part out loud, but this is still a somewhat dramatic example of the phenomenon. The establishment attitude is pretty clear: black people are owned by the Democrats. Any deviation is merely a temporary condition, and it is fully expected for them to come to their senses and quit stepping out with their Republican side-pieces. It matters not what the Parties do, the Democrats are entitled to black voters. They own black voters. It just can't be any other way. As Paul Anka put it, "That's just the f**king way it is." Only an establishment so comfortable in its status quo could be so nakedly contemptuous while describing who is entitled to who's votes. This is how the political class views Americans, and is the root point of identity or other interest-group politics. One Party or another is entitled to racial votes, to education-level votes, to geographic votes, to _______ votes. Any skew between reality and expectation is reality's fault, and the aggrieved party didn't lose, he was merely cheated out what was his by right. This attitude is deeply cynical, defined by contempt and extremely distasteful. They fret over polls if it shows they're being cheated by voting blocs they rightfully own, and fawn over them when it shows everybody on the plantation where they belong. It's as grotesque as it is pervasive, although it is usually better-couched than Fox News managed. Every election, there is always at least some squawking from somewhere about "entitlement reform." I'm all for it, and it should start in the Parties. None of them are entitled to anything or anyone - and their naked contempt for the voter is getting more than a little bit old.

Let’s’ say middle aged white married men who attend church were at 55% support for Republicans. They’d say the same thing, this group has not returned to the Republican Party. That’s because religious middle aged white married men are like 75% Republican.
Political reporting loves to put people in easy to define categories. Black = Democrat. Married man = Republican. College educated = Democrat. southerner = Republican, etc. It’s also accurate for the most part. Stereotypes exist for a reason after all.
So when any group slightly deviates from the conventional wisdom they treat it like “when will this group go back home” because something is un-natural in the universe.

Of course they do. To them, like Tom Friedman wrote, the world is flat. That means they have more in common with foreign ruling class than they do with their own countrymen. And authoritative capitalism like China is just fine and dandy with them as it the Sultanates of places like Dubai.

If you look at the full article at Fox, it also says that black support for Democraps is also down significantly across the board. If support for everyone is going down, then who is going up?
So what to make of this poll? Toilet paper. I can't see the underlying data or even questions.
This poll is probably garbage summer noise where everyone surveyed has a bug up their ass about something.

I've had an attack of the flu from time to time over the years. But never very often. I can recall a bout in '87, in '98 (new germ pool in Denver), and certainly the rough-ish one in December of 2019 (which might have been The Coof). Plus a milder go-round in June '22.

Until blacks prove the party wrong, they do belong to it, and everyone, not just the establishment, knows it. You could accurately say the same thing about several other groups. They're longstanding members of the Kill Whitey and Give Me His Stuff Coalition. Lots of whites of a certain vintage can't see this because they were raised on colorblindness and the rejection of tribalism.

Same here. Though, after my bout with shingles in '24, I have to wonder if I should accept that vaccine.

I recommend the shingles vaccine. It is not some concoction like mRNA. AND I have seen firsthand the devastating effects of a shingles attack, one that went on for a whole year.

Yes. My wife is cancer free. She was on chemo for 6 months, once a week. Each round was over $6k.
And it was all basically 'precautionary' because she had 2 out of 3 lymph nodes removed showing it spread a bit.

CNN: Republicans are leading in the Senate generic ballot in the swing states
Sen Generic Ballot (swing states): 🔴 R+6
===
And this response from Seth Keshel
Let me explain just how stupid polling is in yet another way.
Simultaneously we are to believe that in NC, Cooper leads polling by an average of 8.5%, Brown by 0.6%, Jackson by 2.3%, Talarico by 1.2%, Hinson (R) by 1.7%, and Peltola by 2.0% - verifiable on the RCP aggregates.
Yet in those states, in which only one (R) leads, it’s the GOP leading by SIX on average.
That would require either all six states to have a lead of 6% for the GOP candidate on the nose, or for some states to have GOP leads of 12% while others are tied or the GOP candidate is behind (like Whatley is thought to be).

Polls cheat to get Donor $
Polls aren’t always measuring public opinion. Sometimes they’re manufacturing it.
We’ve watched the same pattern for years: poll after poll suddenly shows a socialist or far-left candidate “surging” or “in the lead.” Media runs with it. Donors open their wallets. Moderate opponents get pressured to drop out. Voters are told the “momentum” is real.
Then Election Day arrives and the numbers collapse.
Just look at the recent Democratic primaries. Polls dramatically overstated support for socialist-aligned candidates in places like Wisconsin and Michigan.
One outfit even admitted its “polls” showing big leads for progressive candidates were completely fabricated as a “social experiment” and those fake numbers still got shared by campaigns and outlets.
Posted by: whig at August 19, 2026 11:43 AM (E4rtv)
The media went hysterically sensationalist from the moment the body was found. They deliberately hid evidence from police, and manufactured theories, suspects, and motives.
I'm not even sure at this point the the crime scene ever really was as it was reported.
If it was, then my theory has always been pretty simple: who carves up bodies like that and puts them on display? Drug cartels. I suspect she was murdered by a drug cartel for some unknown transgression, or possibly to send a message to someone else.
The media always fantasized that it was a surgeon who dissected the body. It's always more sensationalist when the accused is some high-status person, rather than a lowly drug dealer. Same as Jack the Ripper. Anyone with any hunting experience could have cut her in half like that.

His conclusions was that polls are used to advance a narrative (usually favoring Dems).
That was the genesis of my sometimes alter-ego "In before the troll". One of our regular trolls (who like all trolls, sucks cock by choice) was getting slammed for citing polls, and switched to citing Intrade before they were shut down by the Feds. So I had quite a bit of fun mocking him.

🚨 NEW: Deep dive investigation into 3,000+ Senate polls over the last 4 cycles. They've overestimated Democrats in all 4 cycles, 73% of polls overstate the Democrat, and it's worse right now, in the summer.
The average polling error across all polls was D+3.7, and 73% of polls released overstated the Democrat relative to the election result. Again, that’s across more than 3,000 polls, so that’s hardly just statistical noise.

the answer is, the chicken pox vaccination for babies.
basically varicella vaccination is recent, and other countries don't do it, because it will and does trigger latent chicken pox virus (in adults who had chicken pox like most of us).
when my kids were small my husband and then my mom got shingles, most likely from the babies' vaccinations.
it was so bad and so obvious that other countries discontinued varicella vaccination of children. of course we didn't
but we should.
so yeah, tons of adults will get their dead chicken pox latent virus reactivated by exposure to a fresh chicken-pox-vaccinated kid.

Yep. We know that at least 120k of 'voters' in that election may not exist in reality. NY has a particular shingle where one voter in reality becomes multiple entries throughout the state as 'cloned'. Many of which cast ballots and this insertion is done in the backroom by election officials, not even with a physical ballot fraud.
See Chris on X for the details which he found similar actions in some other states.
The hardest thing for most normal people to realize is how thoroughly corrupted the media and elections are in this country. And that includes fraud on behalf of the GOP--in primaries usually but a few times in General Elections--like for Dear old Mitch in KY.
And that is why the GOP Senate is fighting to preserve fraud--it is so that the Cassidys, the McConnells, and other pieces of shit can stay in office from primary challenges by cheating. Cheating is the heart of the Uniparty so they can set results down in advance in coordination with Deep State actors that know what they are doing and let them do it.

my impression (totally anecdotal!!!) is people who had worse chicken pox when kids will get shingles worse/more likely to get
I was more exposed than my husband but didn't get shingles. I've taken care now of three older adults in my family with shingles and I never got. my chicken pox experience was mild.
btw these older adults WERE vaccinated, and still got shingles. one of them got shingles the week after his vax.
gives one pause.
I do think the newer vaccine (Shingrix) is better. that's the one to go with. but remember, even that is only effective around 5 years. docs will tell you it lasts forever. it does not.

there are other ways to "get shingles" - basically you get tired/worn down, and your existing varicella bad boys wake up to torture you.
so most of the time it's not "caught from someone" - but in the case of people who take care of babies, yeah, it does happen.
viruses stay with us. I'm a "strep girl" - I get strep throat a lot. it's in me. it takes a break, but it's never gone.

Bill Clinton, the 1st Black President
The label "the first Black president" was applied to Bill Clinton by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison in a 1998 essay. She used it as a metaphor to describe how Clinton's public scrutiny and targeted investigations during his sex scandal mirrored the unfair, presumptive judgment often directed at Black men in America.

Doesn't work that way if you have a systematic bias. Consider loaded dice and rolling them, the result will always be toward whoever loaded the dice wanted it to be.
Arguing for the naive position like you just did of both sides err, doesn't work when systematic bias is at play.
I spent a lot of time in the past doing regression modeling on elections, etc. And then spending time looking at the model prediction error scatter plots. Ideally, the errors are a random and the dispersion looks like a chocolate chip cookie. If there is a pattern, like Ruffini found where the prediction errors are not randomly dispersed, then you have an unspecified variable in the equation. And that is the polling predictive model has a Democrat bias.
And that bias is reflected in the RCP aggregate polling, the crap that Nate Silver puts up, and other election prediction models like betting crap relying on the poll data.
Crappy data means crappy derivative results.

Tough to find a good source nowadays that isn't lying to us, but you're right. As long as I don't get a bunch of the shingles symptoms, I can handle some arm pain.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius
I got it because of autoimmune issues related to my psoriatic arthritis and I had a bad case of chicken pox as a kid.
Worried about getting it and both shots in the sequence made me sick for about a week.
For me, the lesser harm was the Shingles Vaxx as I was at pretty high risk for Shingles if I had a significant health event.

I wanted to avoid the same stress in the spring of '25, and the worse stress of moving our office that summer. So I retired and left it (with the reservations already made) to my successor.

“People have asked me how I differ from my brother, and it’s real clear to me: If you’re here illegally, you need to be deported immediately. I think President Trump has done a great job protecting our borders. Again, I support deporting any illegal immigrant. I cosponsored the SAVE America Act. That’s the first bill I cosponsored because if you need to have an ID to check out a library book, you certainly need one to vote. I’m worried about our elections and illegal immigrants voting. There were 6,600 illegals registered to vote in New Jersey and several hundred of them voted. So we have to get the SAVE America Act. I’ll end the filibuster to get it passed.”

We live in a soup of bacteria and viruses. If you like, you can set up a microscope (although it would take an electron microscope for viruses), and watch them multiple and even mutate in real time.
One should be skeptical of 'new' science findings but not to the point of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
The basic science is sound but in application and novel circumstances may be lousy.

"Timeline of Varicella Vaccine Introduction
Initial Licensure and Recommendations
The FDA approved Varivax (Merck & Co.) in March 1995 for use in healthy children aged ≥12 months, adolescents, and adults
The vaccine uses the live-attenuated Oka strain of varicella-zoster virus, which was licensed from the Biken Institute at Osaka University in Japan "
Ok, if it became mandatory in 1995, why do older folks who were not varicellaed get it? Or did I misread ? those who got varicella are not going to get shingles ?

Special election and probably a bad GOP candidate. Democrats turned the whole thing into a show involving their Governor etc. to get a talking point. Nevertheless the GOP has reached near parity in actual voter registration in PA through Scott Pressly.
On one off special elections that become negated by the general in a few months, never read much into it. Instead, take a gander at Florida's elections last night indicating a very different outcome but across the state.

Lock them up before you get a Mangione assassination on your hands.
Advisable to red flag them first if that is allowed in that jurisdiction and even using VPNs don't hide fingerprinting of today's modern computers.
Trolling is becoming increasingly hazardous to the point that if you can continue to do it, it is not because the proprietors don't know who you are and where you are posting from, but you are not big enough nuisance to report to authorities. yet.
And the Digital Millennium Copying Act plus other federal laws can in fact make trolling a federal felony if the person involved ignores repeated and continuous banning from a platform. Becomes a form of digital trespassing. Again, whether the blog proprietors feel strongly enough to refer to federal prosecutors.
So whoever you are Mr. Troll, the likelihood is that CBD knows who you are and where you are along with sufficient computer identification that would stand up in civil and perhaps criminal court.
And if foreign, that also means that you can be arrested and extradicted even in the Turd World.

Media thrives on making people worry about random shit because it drives engagement. That is why local news long ago went to if it bleeds, it leads news. Boring statistical arguments would never make the media because it does not compel watching. That is why MSNOW got dumped by NBC, it got so ridiculous with its hair on fire coverage of the most recent outrage with nothing happening anywhere near their fearsome predictions, it simply became a Wed on MSNOW.
Deranged people can be obsessive watching hair on fire shit but normies eventually ignore and turn off warnings when they become excessive and not founded in actual events. The Boy that Cried Wolf story comes to mind.

I got the shot and the reaction was worse than any shot I've ever had--headaches, body aches, chills and fever. I never got the follow-up shot because I didn't want to subject myself to it. I am not a wimp (I think) but I don't know who to believe.
I'm a skeptic about flu shots but have had several over the years. Every year I got one I got the flu.

Alexander's idealized body, exposed, vulnerable and open to death, almost has a feel of Christ trusting to God to deliver him. Siemiradzki did a number of Christ-centered biblical paintings so I wondered about a possible connection in the artist's mind.

I wouldn’t be too sure. Capital investments take a lot of planning, years ahead of time, and one of the keys to any successful economy is a certain kind of predictability, insofar as that is possible in this world. Nobody wants to take the risk of allocating a gazillion dollars towards something, when a merry band of dumb shit Democrats will simply come along and kill it. These things can’t be turned on and off and on and off like a light switch.

From what I recall from Western Civ class, oh these many years ago*, the "real" Greeks viewed the Macedonians in approximately the same way that coastal elites would view the residents of an Alabama trailer park.
It doesn't sound like anything has changed.

Mine was a GenEd university class. It had 4 or 5 texts... stuff like Thucydides, and required multiple 10-15 page papers, plus a longer final paper and a final exam that consisted of one essay question written in a blue book.
The last I time I heard about this class, a decade or so later, was that it had gone to watching a video in every class and writing a paragraph about it.

Many labor unions make a multiple of the minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage from 7.25 to 25 could give some workers a $50/hour raise. It would be catastrophic and would fuck over everyone else.

Henryk Hektor Siemiradzki (1843 – 1902) was a painter. He spent most of his active creative life in Rome.
The episode depicted in Siemiradzki's painting is connected with the following legend. During his campaign against the Persian king Darius III, Alexander the Great contracted a cold and subsequently fell seriously ill. The physicians were reluctant to treat him, fearing that the Macedonians would massacre them if they failed to overcome the illness and Alexander died. According to Plutarch, only his physician Philip, "seeing the serious condition of the patient, put friendship above all else and considered it criminal not to share the danger with Alexander and not to exhaust - even at the risk to himself - all means". Philip prepared a strong medicine and brought it to the sick man. Shortly before, Alexander received an urgent message from his commander, Parmenion, informing him that his physician had been bribed by Darius and would administer poison instead of medicine. As Philip handed Alexander the bowl of potion, the king asked him to read the letter he had received.
Nicely done painting; great detail & back story.

The Morning Report — 8/ 19 /26
Again, El-Sayed’s mother was helping the financial operations of a network that supported one of the most infamous terrorist leaders of modern times (Bin Laden), who orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001. That same network supported a terrorist group (Hamas) that committed the worst single day of slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust in 2023. And the “charity” network propped up the genocidal Jihad group that has spent years committing atrocities in Afghanistan: the Taliban. El-Sayed has not publicly distanced himself from Elkomy’s past, or indeed, from Islamic extremist groups in general. Why should he, when Islam explicitly teaches that Jihad is praiseworthy? Again, CAIR not only donated to him, but officially endorsed him and encouraged people to vote for him. If a terrorist front group endorses you, that probably means you are likely to promote the goals of Jihad. And the Muslim Brotherhood celebrated El-Sayed’s primary win. El-Sayed certainly — and proudly — supports wiping Israel off the map.Welcome to Michiganistan! Where we all slam for ISLAM!!! And despite New York City, the most Jewish city on the planet outside of Israel itself went utterly meshugah by voting in Momzer Mamdani, this still happened.
Now the largest Catholic civil rights group in the United States — the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights — has also asked Mamdani to stay away from the 9/11 ceremony, for the same reasons that the families and friends of those murdered on 9/11 gave. More on that demand can be found here: “Largest Catholic Civil Rights Group in US Urges Mamdani to Skip 9/11 Memorial Ceremony,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, August 6, 2026:Well, leave it to Bill Donohue and the Catholics to step up and do the right thing. But there is no way that that evil scumbag is going to skip the 9/11 ceremonies. Because for him and every other Muslim on the planet, 9/11 was not an horrendous tragedy, to them it was a glorious victory. I fully expect ululations and the passing out of candy and Halvah in every Muslim neighborhood this side of the M-79 star system. I wouldn't put it past Hizzbollah hizzoner to add the names of the 20 hijackers to the list of the victims along with Bin Laden.
Considering the Democrats have a bigwig who honored her grandfather on Veteran's Day who served during World War 2, no not as a GI but in the Nazi Wehrmacht, perhaps my observation about Mamdani is less a nightmarish wisecrack than God-forbid a prediction of the future! And what a shock, the aforementioned Democrat bigwig turns out to be Kelly Neumann a fundraising boss in MICHIGAN! How do you say Ach du Lieber in Arabic or Pashtun...or with a Yuper accent?!!! From that madness we flashback to the glory days of Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and this character he and his ilk inflicted on us...
A “Maryland father.” That’s how the propaganda press described Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien from El Salvador that the Trump administration sought to deport. Despite accusations of MS-13 ties, human smuggling, and domestic abuse, Democrats and their allies in the corporate press turned Abrego Garcia into a national martyr. But the innocent “Maryland father” narrative is collapsing once again with new details revealed by the Department of Justice about Abrego Garcia. . . As the propaganda press’ cover-up for criminal Abrego Garcia continues to fail, they keep trying to find new ways to preserve their carefully crafted narrative about him, this time by just not telling their readers about the new evidence, while in the past just parroting the preferred narrative from a court or Abrego Garcia’s lawyers.Other than the aforementioned meshugas, yesterday was another primary day in several states and here's the tale of the tape/recap, courtesy of Breitbart.

Like everyone else on the left, the report’s authors claim to be fighting for “democracy,” which is to say fighting President Trump.

I get it. But it's totally appropriate for Mamdani to be there - it's a city full of people who elected him because they hate America and love Islam and want to see a Muslim spike the ball on their graves.
Black, white, brown, Muslim, atheist and Jew alike, they all share the common ground of hatred for this country and its people.

they are ships for shipping ships
the problem then is, the route back to the US
across the Pacific? If the lift ship doesn't fit thru the Panama Canal, you'd have to offload the rocket and truck it back to Texas
Similarly, if you go the other way, west, your lift ship has to transit the Suez Canal or go around the Cape Of Good Hope, which is definitely a movie I would go see

The Senate is currently in recess - but not the kind of recess which would allow Trump to do anything, just the kind where most of them are not in DC - and isn't scheduled to return until 9/14. So he wouldn't be doing Senate things anyway.
According to KY law, he wouldn't be replaced before the November election even if he were declared to be dead.
It's a non story, affecting nothing, and, like Epstein or the debt - which we cannot affect, is brought up just to get people riled up and feeling helpless. Troll or not, be better.

I saw over at the NYP a campaign picture of the loser DSA candidate in FL (dummy named Larkin) and his campaign posters show an alligator and the motto "Chomp the Oligarchy." Most of his supporters probably couldn't even define oligarchy if they had to. Incidentally, the poster lists "Florida Youth Justice Coalition" at the bottom. Justice, I say! Oligarchy, I say! These people regurgitate the same buzz words over and over and over again. There's never a shortage of dummies who fall for it...unfortunately.

He had domestic assault accusation that led to a restraining order, and an ethics committee investigation into sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations. He also has been reported as being under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice

The new rules will lead to a ban on the sale of the majority of tires in the state because they don’t meet the new efficiency standards.
The regulatory agency, full of unelected bureaucrats, claimed the new rules would lead to a price increase of only $6.50 per tire in the second phase; however, Bret Gladfelty of Goodyear said the increase would end up being several hundred dollars.

Trudeau senior.
I'm reading about the American Revolution and one item I'd forgotten now resonates: as part of the war's conclusion, 100,000 Loyalists emigrated to Canada. That right there is why they have this weird, completely irrational childish hate of the US. They stayed loyal to Britain and for a while, it worked out, but now the Empire is gone, they have a sports logo for a flag, and no one respects them.
China is using them as a two-looney whore and India has turned them into a penal colony. No wonder Alberta wants to get away from it.

Mrs. Lloyd was diagnosed in early July, had her surgery last week. Yesterday, she had healed to the point where the drains could be removed. It's crazy how fast things are moving.
The Dems make a big stink about how all of this should be free, but nothing is free, and what should cost more than human life? These same people pressuring sick people to kill themselves. We need to ban guns because of suicides but if the government endorses it, go off yourself.
The Democrats are now just theater kids who think "Heathers" was a how-to guide.

Same here. Once I had my cancer diagnosis, it was test after test, scan after scan. In 6 weeks I went in for surgery. Wasn't long after that - chemo, then radiation. It was a tough year, but I can honestly say, except for the radiation treatments, I had phenomenal care. Thank God I don't live in Canada where I would have to fend off MAID.

Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions
“Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.”
Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.”

Here’s what the trial found:
The mRNA shot reduced the absolute risk of getting the flu by just 0.8% compared to a standard flu shot.
And 6.4% of people who received it experienced severe reactions.
We are disappointed to see the FDA approved another disastrous mRNA vaccine.

Counterpoint: the repeated Dem debacles in the 1970s and 1980s led to a more centerist leadership, and while we all despise the Clintons, remember that Bill originally ran on Trump's current platform of no immigration, reducing government and protecting American jobs.

If I were a Democrat running for McConnell's seat, my message would be simple: "that flipped over, dried out turtle was able to bring home the bacon because he was the most important Democrat in the Senate. But he's gone, and guess what? John Thune isn't from Kentucky. No Republican you vote for would have the juice to pay you people anymore, and wouldn't care to even if he did.

And 6.4% of people who received it experienced severe reactions.
Pretty sure there was just a story out about how the flu shots have very little to no effect.
IIRC, Hillary Clinton ruined the annual flu shot process decades ago. The process had been that each manufacturer decided which flu strain would be the most common/worst, so that there were a variety of flu shot options each year. Somehow Hillary got involved (remember her meddling in healthcare?), and the government started to pick which flu strain to stop and all flu shot manufacturers then produce the same shots.

How is it unconstitutional? States can set their own rules for how they choose electors. It's stupid to do that national popular vote thing - but seems to be allowed.
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

Stop waiting for the clown crew to pull a rabbit out of their hat and clean up the mess you made.
After declaring a new 'offensive' military posture in response to the crisis, Iran is showing no signs of backing off the confrontation with the US in the region. On Wednesday its armed forces warned Gulf countries against hosting or assisting American forces, saying it would be tantamount to joining the war on the US side.
"We wish to warn that any assistance or facilitation provided to the aggressor U.S. military amounts to participation in the U.S. military operation," armed forces chief of staff Ali Abdollahi said.
"It seems unlikely that such a large number of military aircraft, particularly refueling aircraft could be present at regional bases without knowledge of host countries," the official continued as cited in Mehr news agency.

This is what Bill Clinton did, not just with the border, but also with violent crime. Remember, he executed a guy during the 1992 campaign, showing he was no Mike Dukakis.
The problem is that the Dems' primary system is empowering the lunatics, and the Dem leadership has clung to power to the point that the party is U-shaped, with a bunch of geriatric politicians clinging to power and now a bunch of young inexperienced Theater Kids challenging them. The GOP has its Turtle, but overall there is a smoother demographic transition underway.
J.D. Vance exemplifies this, which is the the Dems are so scared of him.
The Dems right now are in a purity spiral, and the party may well splinter because the DSA types will not compromise an inch.
In the GOP, the MAGA wing is consolidating power, and by 2028, the last holdouts will have been eliminated.

WOAH 🚨 Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots
He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group
Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions
“Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.”
Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.”
The mainstream media was in on the coverup. How are there no consequences for these people

Counterpoint: the repeated Dem debacles in the 1970s and 1980s led to a more centerist leadership, and while we all despise the Clintons, remember that Bill originally ran on Trump's current platform of no immigration, reducing government and protecting American jobs.

Counter-Counter Point: When Clinton played centrist but sane liberal during the General Election, he was lying through his ass. The FIRST major policy thing that cocksucker did after taking the oath is defer to the wishes of his harridan wife, Frau Gruppencankles, when he tried to force the military to openly admit homosexuals to the uniformed services. The outroar was so loud that he had to backtrack, and Don't Ask, Don't Tell was the compromise.
There were other, similar indications where he proposed radical bullshit policies from his wife and had to backtrack. Probably because it would have generated enough hatred that he feared losing access to all that strange poon he was pulling into the Oval Office. I wouldn't be surprised if there was still Bubba DNA rubbed into the top of the Resolute Desk after all of these years.

Geez. WTH!?
At least one positive, Rep. Byron Donalds won the Florida Republican gubernatorial nomination. Yay!
And one very interesting, also from Florida: "State Rep. Angie Nixon, a progressive who recently joined the Democratic Socialists of America, won an upset victory over former National Security Council aide Alex Vindman." (USA Today) He outraised her funding; she beat him by +/- 10 points!
Ms. Nixon, who joined the DSA in June, was supported by some progressive House members, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Maxwell Frost of Florida.
How the hell have we gotten to this point where - in our nation's 250 year, our 25 anniversary of 9/11 - socialism supported by Omar/Tlaib (NY Times) or by AOC/Sanders and/or by the Justice Democrats, DSA, and/or alleged "grassroots chapters" practically storms the seats of government for takeover? (Too dramatic? But quite concerning, and I really thought socialism & Islam didn't interface well. Fooled again.)

Rutgers AAUP-AFT endorsed Sue Altman, a former top staffer to Senator Andy Kim for US Representative of New Jersey’s 7th congressional district. A member at Rutgers-Camden, a former high school teacher, and former executive director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, who had walked on the union’s picket lines to run against... MAGA.

Linda Sarsour on Facebook: Shame on Sue Altman for trying to malign a man who has RISKED his life to save children and families around the world. This should disqualify her from any endorsements including the New Jersey Working Families Party. She must apologize NOW.

Ending a 40-Year Dynasty: Gingrich masterminded the 1994 midterm elections, successfully breaking the Democratic Party's uninterrupted 40-year control of the House of Representatives. This historic shift was widely termed the Republican Revolution.
The Contract with America: He united Republican candidates across the nation around a unified, aggressive legislative text called the Contract with America, bypassing traditional local campaigns to nationalize the race against President Bill Clinton.
Guerrilla Media Strategy: Long before social media, Gingrich utilized late-night televised C-SPAN speeches to speak directly to voters, weaponized aggressive partisan rhetoric, and framed the political battle against the Clinton administration as a "fight of good versus evil."

- A federal judge has ruled that a state judge who used AI to handle the entire decision in a case so she could spend the day playing Cookie Run Kingdom or something equally important cannot be sued. (Tom's Hardware)

With OpenAI training on Reddit, Amazon training on Twitch streams, and now Google training on incompetent and defunct airlines, I don't think we have to worry too much about AI taking our jobs.
And more about AI destroying the economy so there aren't any jobs to be taken.

Interesting thing: The Deskmeet X300 has four DDR4 SODIMM slots. Which is great if you just happen to have a stockpile of DDR4 SODIMMs from old laptops and mini-PCs.
Which I do.
- Best Buy apparently did not steal half this customer's memory. (Tom's Hardware)
They took half the memory out, yes, but returned it along with the laptop. And since it has a dedicated GPU, performance won't suffer too much.
Actually, it just sounds like one stick of RAM went bad, and since the laptop was upgraded by a third-party, it wasn't Best Buy's responsibility, and the system is now working again.

I just had a goofy idea:
Feral Word Search
Make a little booklet full of word keys, little themed lists of words of varying degrees of oddness, along with some kind of temporary "sticky note" or maybe a weird paperclip with a little pointer or flag you could adjust somehow, and then you use whatever books or magazines you have lying around as the material you search in.
Kinda like a word search scavenger hunt. But re-useable. And with unlimited variations. And no guarantee of success.

but the judge cannot sued.
Judge Mari Parlade can (and should) be impeached by the legislature for what is essentially dereliction of duty and violation of part of her oath of office.
From the oath is this concluding phrase:
"... and I will well and faithfully perform all the duties of the office of the district court judge for the 8th judicial district, family division, department A, on which I'm about to enter, so help me God."
It could be strongly argued that using AI to build the decision is not faithful performance of her duties, and by using it for that purpose, it is a delegation of her responsibilities to a non-intelligent LLM, at a time when the courts have been repeatedly sanctioning lawyers for submitting briefs with LLM generated hallucinations (citations to cases that do not exist) in them.
A database of AI hallucinations in legal cases (by country) has been compiled by a French lawyer Damien Charlotin:
https://tinyurl.com/bdsyuu63
The United States leads this with 1,324 out of the total 1,933 cases documented.

Here's Judge Mari Parlade taking the oath of office, given by Judge Rebecca Burton:
https://youtu.be/TORwoDOyxj8
@ 1:07:
Burton (smoothly): "all the duties of the office of the district court judge"
Parlade (pausing twice while saying): "all the duties ... of the office ... of the district court judge..."
Parlade does get the wording correct, but you can see she's struggling to remember and correctly repeat an eleven word long phrase. Short term memory can only comfortably handle 7 things so perhaps that's understandable.
However, it did make me wonder just how sharp this judge's mental acuity is, now further called into question by the willingness to use an LLM to build a legal judgement.

My big black one is chasing his adopted sister around. This is their pre-breakfast workout. But I think he's playing a bit too rough with her at times. He outweighs her by 4-5 pounds and has a longer reach. And when they wrestle, she sometimes lets out an unhappy squawk -- rare for a cat as quiet as she is.
When I see that I break it up by water spraying him as a deterrent.
She's not an aggressive cat. I wish she'd give him a good swipe across the nose to settle him down.

My comic bits about three of their predecessors, written in '06 and after, still make me laugh. The concept was that the three cats could talk among themselves, though not with their Servants (the humans), and they would comment on human activities with curiosity and comic dialogue.

This year we have our new driver safety monitoring system with outward and inward cameras in use. It uses an AI analysis of front and driver facing cameras to nudge behavior of the driver towards safety and away from things it has set as "negative". It has an "alert" and "event" threshold, with alert simply notifying the driver (via audio tone) of something that needs immediate correction, and "event" meaning the incident is sent immediately to the office for review and potential penalty assessment. Some behaviors (like not putting on a seatbelt and moving the bus, even in the bus yard) have alert and event set at the same point in time, which would mean an automatic penalty.
I am reserving judgement until I've had a chance to work with this new system in place. We'll see how well it does, how accurate it is, and how many hallucinations I end up having to file for a correction on.
I do expect to hear a lot of grumbling about this.

Also in the article, we aren't given the lazy Nevada judge's name, the court or any details on the case. We don't even get the name of the AI that ended up "judging" the case.
The irony here is that to learn about anything about this case, I had to go to AI, and from there I discover that this article Pixy gave us is over 95% eyewash and pretty much content-less.
How did it become policy to hide the identity of the guilty?
And why do I waste time reading articles by humans if they can't even do their damned jobs to answer the Who, What, Where, Why and When?

They've now got Starship in safe harbor so to speak off the coast of Christmas Island.
Elon says they're eventually going to bring it back to Starbase. Now, how they're going to do that, he didn't say.

Just finished watching the first two episodes of the 2022 Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, an adaptation in four parts of Agatha Christie's novel. This one is fun so far, with real humor -- possibly because it was adapted and directed by Hugh (House) Laurie. He had a solid background in comedy before his turn as the difficult doctor; you remember he worked with Stephen Fry in comedy, and played the hapless Bertie Wooster in a fairly recent adaptation of the Jeeves stories by Wodehouse.
So this miniseries has good genes. We'll see how it goes.

Socialism is slavery. Islam is slavery. They are both whole-of-society grifts, that make everyone and everything into the property of the ruling clique, that got its hands on the levers of state power and eliminated its competitors.
The rhetoric of socialism and Islam, all the blah-blah and yadda-yadda, is just the scam patter of a confidence scheme. If a scruffy guy comes up to you in a grocery store parking lot with a rhythmic patter, you don't have to listen to the words to dismiss him. You already know that he's just going to say whatever he thinks would get you part with some of your folding money.
So it is with socialism and Islam, as with any grift. Looking for logical holes in the rhetoric is a job for chumps. They don't even care themselves if their own words are true or false, only whether they're effective at manipulating you.
So why would they be incompatible? Because their rhetoric is incompatible? The rhetoric that literally does not matter, even to themselves? There is no contradiction, because they are literally the same grift under the hood.

Pulled over because of stupid TV's 'see something say something' (pre-obama). First cop was more or less reasonable (my truck had been reported by a neighbor). Second cop rolls up and during the discourse he says, "I could have shot you." I looked him in the eye and said, demonstrably, 'You would have shot the wrong man'.
He shut the fuck up.

There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight, and the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples, and they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty, and they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples can't be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest, and the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, “Oppression!”, and the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union, and demanded equal rights
“The oaks are just too greedy, we will make them give us light”
Now there's no more oak oppression, for they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw

I watched an interview with Benny Goodman, 'King of Swing' - he was. The interviewer mentioned that he and Jagger were at a jam session at the same time. Goodman answered affirmative.
The next question was a softball for Goodman to denigrate Jagger.
'He knows what he's doing.' Was Goodman's response.

A Chinese co called Unitree has debuted its robot, which beat Usain Bolt's record in the 100m dash; beat the world record for standing jump EASILY; can do backflips.
I can't link to it, but if you Google "Chinese robot within last 24 hours," several videos are available for your viewing pleasure.
I never heard of Unitree, and I never mess with non-U.S. stocks in any event. However, Unitree jumped 542% today. Not bad-- $542 for $1. In one day.

We had a beach cottage on north Everett Bay, Puget Sound. 1974 a huge egg-shaped root ball washed ashore during a massive storm/exceptionally high tide. The solid egg root ball was approx. 8ft high by 12ft long by 10ft wide, weathered, nearly perfectly smooth with a shattered tree trunk jutting up from one end of the egg. Four years ago I looked at the sat view on google Erf. It's still there.

There is, though it's almost all CO2, and surface pressure is around 0.006 ATM.
There was discussion on an ONT a month or three ago about it; the atmosphere is about the worst possible for space travel. Too thin to use as an air brake, so you have to carry fuel to slow you down. But also thick enough that you need heat shielding for the friction.
Posted by: mikeski at August 18, 2026 11:40 PM (VHUov)
The opportunity for closest approach is cyclical, in the 1960s it was something like 1982 and they had plans to try it, but the funding was slashed. Getting to Mars would take almost two years. So the notion of landing, grabbing a few rocks and immediately returning doesn’t make any sense either.

Probably the grizzly bear, but a moose can do some serious damage to a bear. Wolves, but it takes more than two to do it, and one or more will get hurt.
Full grown moose are formidable, with sharp hooves. The bulls have horns, and can lift a bear and throw it from the right angle.
Baby moose, OTOH, are bears' favorite meal.

Mars surface pressure is about 6 mbar, or .006 atm roughly. It can get up to double that in the deepest basins.
That "dust storm" scene from The Martian wasn't accurate, they just needed some dramatic device. Wind speeds on the surface can hit 100 mph (in those dust devils), and you'll see that quoted, but because the atmosphere is so thin, the force is not that much.

Congratulations!
After two brothers and two sons I now have two granddaughters in my life! They live 10min away. Grandson was first and we are very ok with boys as we know boys. He's a sweetheart.
The girls are a delight, and I have bought clothes, jewelry, and dolls and all I can think of for girls. So much fun! And to have the oldest be my clone is mindblowing, both in looks and personality. Baby sister at 12mo coming on strong but looks like her older brother.
Enjoy it all, Nurse. Great joy ahead!

He had script approval on "Air," even though he wasn't in it. He requested that the part of one of the AA characters be expanded, which it was subsequently. The character in question, a black NIKE exec, is one of the best and funniest things in the movie.

Mars has an atmosphere, it is very thin and mostly CO2, Nitrogen and Argon.
It used to have an atmosphere estimated at about 1 bar, but that was at the end of the Earth's Cambriam period so not so interesting today.
Mars has planet wide dust storms, and dust devils as well. There is just enough moisture in the atmosphere for it to freeze out at the poles as hoarfrost in the planetary winters - in the north and south poles.

Yes, indeed. Mars is about the sour spot for "EDL", entry, descent and landing.
The boys at JPL call landing on Mars "Seven Minutes of Terror". The mean one-way light time from Mars is about 12.5 minutes. When they usually do the EDLs, it's about 14 minutes.
It takes about 7 minutes from entry to landing. So, when they get a signal from the spacecraft that EDL has begun, it's already either landed or crashed and burned.
They have to wait another 7 minutes to know that fate.

Yup all true. And yes he's still the majority owner of the hornets. Seems he's getting more run out of the nascar teams these days. Why he traded the best hornets players cause they couldn't win with him. They can pay him. I'll rebuild.

Take the Moon. No atmosphere. And gravity is only 1/6 that of Erf. Powered descent with rockets are easily doable.
Take Earth. Powered descent would take as much fuel to get down as to get up. But the atmosphere is thick enough to do all the braking you need to bleed off orbital to escape speed off.
Mars gravity is 1/3 earth. More fuel. The atmosphere is not think enough to do all the braking. Terminal velocity on Mars is still supersonic. You need fuel and heat shields both.

That's gravity, not pressure. Mars' low pressure is very bad for other reasons -- you need a pressure suit (but it could be more a "tight spandex" type of thing with a breathing helmet). But it's the lower gravity that's the problem.

Orbital mechanics and the fuel/delta-v requirements vs current engineering and rocket capability.
Invent an Epstein-drive fusion engine (which is possible physics wise, just well beyond anything our current engineering and materials science is capable of), and you can get to Mars at 1g constant acceleration trajectory in 3 days. Jupiter in 6 days, Saturn in 8, and about #2 weeks to Neptune.
Uranus in 12 days.

The "two years" thing is the launch window from earth to Mars using the most fuel efficient orbital transfers. It's about 26 months, the synodic period of Mars.
Now, the travel time using the standard Homan transfers and may some other more complex tricks varies from about 7 to 10 months.

That happens every year after an anniversary year. Last year was the 85th. The 0 and 5 years are usually big. I noticed that when I was going. I went for the 50th, and the 51st was smaller and built up more and more until the 55th where it got crazy again. Then it tapered the following year, and slowly built up to the 60th.

It's basically accelerating at 1g halfway, then turn and decelerate at 1g so you match velocity with the destination at the end.
The cool thing about this is you naturally have 1g artificial gravity the whole way. Now, for cargo and other things than could handle higher g's, you could do it faster.
Now, with chemical rockets, this idea is just ridiculous, considering the amount of fuel mass you'd need. However, when you can get exhaust velocities at a significant fraction of light speed, the mass becomes much less.

Many years ago I worked in an Alaskan resort hotel.
We got a lot of conventions, some rowdier than others. The worst was a convention of school superintendents.
Textbook companies had rooms with full free bars, hot and cold running whores, the works.
Those boys could party. Harder drinking and louder than the commercial fishermen.
I don't recall ever seeing that many whores in that town before or after. They must've flown them in special.
This makes more sense when you realize that the superintendent can have a large degree of clout when it comes to choosing textbooks, and the books were expensive even then.
If paying a whore to give this muppet a hummer means you're going to move 10,000 copies of a hundred dollar book...

Elon and SpaceX have some insane ideas about Mars entry. Now, if you've got enough fuel that you can lug up out of Erf's gravity well, you get to Mars faster. The limit of this is you thrust out and achieve a heliocentric orbit with an aphelion at about Jupiter radius. You time it so you're flying past Mars.
You've got a shit ton of excess velocity relative to Mars. You come in hot like that and dive into Mars' atmosphere. Rather than just "skipping off" you turn so you have *negative lift*, pushing down, rather than up. And this is hypersonic big time relative to Mars atmosphere.
This keeps you curved around inside Mars atmosphere to bleed off speed. But it takes a while. When your speed drops below orbital speed, you've got to flip around to get start gaining positive lift. You keep that up long enough to bleed off enough speed to make a gentle powered landing with the remaining fuel on the Starship.
That flipping maneuver is called something like a "hypersonic roll of death" or something.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 19, 2026 01:39 AM (w6EFb)
Now, no human pilot could do that hypersonic death roll maneuver. Control has to be precise and done on microsecond time scales and all that. A little too much and the vehicle is instantly destroyed by the aerodynamic forces.

Mars' atmosphere is very problematic. It's too thin to efficiently perform air braking, but at the same time thick enough that you have to take it into consideration at even modest velocities. I can't imagine how difficult it would be trying to land when coming in at hypersonic velocities...

We are NOT allowed, we have the RIGHT, given by God to video the police. The police do NOT have the right to monitor us all the time without probable cause: the 4th amendment forbids them. It is the police who are in the wrong, but it will be hard to convince enough people how wrong this is unless the people get more riled up about this travesty. And getting riled up must be done very carefully so we don’t give the police any excuse to arrest us. This is going to be a long haul trek.

For Senate it's Peltola (D) and Dan S. Sullivan (aka the "real Dan Sullivan" (R). The other two will be selected from six Republicans, two Democrats, a Libertarian, a Green, one Undeclared, two Non-partisan, and an Alaskan.
For House it's gonna be Nick Begich III (R) and Bill Hill (Non-Partisan), with the other two slots being chosen from four Democrats, two Libertarians, two Republicans, a Non-Partisan, and an Undeclared.

>Back in another lifetime, when we were minors in high school, we'd buy weed from the local corrupt cops. Kids don't have a lot of money so these were not big time drug deals.
Now, a lifetime later, I have friends willing to give me so much free weed it's ridiculous. I'm not even a smoker. Just a blast once in a while like when we're all fishing.

Maybe our problem here is we're (still) healthy. No need for this and no want for leisurely use.
Let's see how long Mrs. BD and I can stay that way.

Wowza! Not too shabby!
Of course, it had been many years since I'd had any, so what do I know?

Good for both of you!
I only tried it, because of curiosity after many (many!) years of abstinence. The edibles were a real let-down. The smoke was *too strong* the first time.
Jeepers! No wonder so many are freaking *psychotic* these days! Ugh.
Moderation is key!

Yeah, some people can handle it. *Use* on the weekend or during time off, whatever.
I never liked working with people who were stoned on the job, though. Buncha numb nuts!

So-- she got sh1tfaced drunk & came to work one night. Oh, man... she was wobbly! Here we were, working in a freaking *ammo factory* and she was STINKO fking drunk. Dangerous.
When they came to escort her out, she was happy!
"I go home now." She said, smiling... Unaware that she would be disqualified from UE bennies.
Felt sorry for her and the young boy. Enraged, at her sh1tty XH! (he was a crankster, so good riddance, but still!)

Well maybe if that Imam didn't have his stupid hang up in regard to dogs, Lassie would save him.
