Thank you Weasel
So I have a complaint. Wife and I both like our coffee. Weekdays we drink Yuban and on weekends we treat ourselves to flavored coffee, Don Francisco's Hawaiian Hazlenut. It's a little pricey but I look for sales and we usually can stock up for about $8 per 12 oz can.
Lately I noticed the stash getting low so I've had an eye out for a sale. Yesterday, at Stater Bros it was on sale for 9.99. A little pricey but we're almost out.
As I picked up the can it felt and looked different. THEY CHANGED THE SIZE! Now it's a 10 oz can.
So less coffee for more money! No Thanks!
I put it back on the shelf. No more Hawaiian Hazelnut for a while.
Maybe I should put this in the FWP thread, especially if they follow my suggestion and make it a FWP snd Petty Complaints thread.
Other than that everything is just ducky!

The huge barrels you could store water in without worrying about plastic monkeypox Covid Aids degrading into the water killing you instantly were all expensive as hell.
80 cases of 24 bottles. We were set. I'm down to about 35 now....
From the article...
Plastic is not an environmentally friendly substance and might harm health. Furthermore, tap water is more regulated than bottled water.
Just ask Flint Michigan....

The whole "expiration date" thing is based on the idea that the thing put in the container remains *exactly the same* up to a certain point. It's not toxic past that point, but may be different. How different? It's hard to say.
Because people assumed it meant "toxic" and threw stuff out, the language was changed to "best by," because in some instances, a thing not staying the same is a good thing. See also: aged cheese, bourbon, scotch, etc.
An Air Force captain once told me how he was at an Army FOB in Iraq and observed a squad of soldiers slowly pouring out a pallet of water bottles onto the ground. He was mystified, inquired as to what was going on, and climbed up the chain of command until the senior NCO explained that yes, the water could be used to wash or clean things, it was fine for that, but the garrison was bored and would start setting stuff on fire unless otherwise occupied.

Soda might go flat, but minerals don't "expire". Possibly, over a sufficiently long time span, enough pt-pt-pt-pthalates might leach out of the plastic bottle to exceed "safe" limits? But I'd rather risk an unlikely bad reaction to plasticizers than die of thirst.

My main complaint is that even though it's presented in black and white, you can tell it's simply a de-colored digital "print." as well as the atmospherics, ie smoke, haze, fog are CGI.
If they had actually shot it on film and did everything practically, it would have moved from really good to great.

They were going to cut a bracket, and NASA was worried about structural compromise. That's why they had our guys head to the Dragon.

Had a couple in my first platoon in Germany. I think these guys were at the upper end of the scale. Not bright, but once they knew the job, they did it well enough, and were able to reenlist when they were eligible. Smart enough to realize they had a better job than they were going to find back home.

The tail end of Clinton's Army was a sight to see. My basic training company had a motley collection of people motivated purely by occupational training, a handful of deluded patriots (like me) and then a bunch of people incapable of other employment.
Because of the manning crisis, no one washed out. We were told that up front - if you fail, you'll stay here until your contract is completed. And don't try gay stuff, that won't work anymore.

The normal, acceptable leak rate for the ISS is about 0.6 lbs/day. Anything above 1 lb/day is a problem. It's currently at 2 lbs/day. It's been a problem since 2019. They've been closing off the hatch to the leaky Rooskie module there and that lowers the loss rate.

The low quality bothered the cadre, who were 80s recruits when fuckups got sent home. Our platoon sergeant went off at one point saying: "Private, the only reason I allow you to stay in the Army is that you will stop a bullet for a better man." Harsh but true.

Just finished a rewatch, the first in years, of Hunt for Red October. Such a grand film. The novel, Clancy's first, was terribly dull and muted all the action elements. Someone like Michael Crichton or Larry Niven could have gotten the technical details across to us, yet still generated excitement. I wish Clancy had collaborated with Niven (whom he admired); that would have been a fascinating team-up.

They know where the leaks are, it's just getting to one that's the problem. This Russian module has been springing leaks since 2019, and they think it's due to metal fatigue from the docking and undocking over it's 20 yr life up there. It is the only docking module port suffering from that, however.

Their leak detection uses an ultrasonic device to listen for the tell-tale "hissing" signature of a small leak. What they do is isolate each module in turn and see which module loses pressure. Once they identified the general location, they use the ultrasonic thingy to locate it precisely.

First of all, over 75% of bottled water is tap water just like right out of the faucet. It's got your purifiers and chorine based chemicals in it. And, they SELL this to you for no other reason that to convince you it is convenient. Tap water (even in a glass air-sealed bottle...not plastic) will go stale as a result. Plastic bottles have their own issues despite what the environmental gurus tell you about it not being degradable. Taste a 10 year old bottle of tap water held in a sealed plastic bottle. Wash it down with some topsoil or ash...Enjoy.

Just like Mozart!
Chicago Symphony Orchestra: "Mozart wasn’t the only classical-music composer inspired by the “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” melody. Haydn used it in the second movement of his Symphony No. 94 (Surprise), Saint-Säens quoted it in the 12th movement (“Fossils”
of his Carnival of the Animals and Ernst von Dohnányi did so in Variations on a Nursery Tune, Op. 25 (1914).
And in the pop-culture realm, as part of his “Star Trek” mission "to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before,” Leonard Nimoy riffed upon a star for the song “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Earth” on his debut disc “Mr. Spock’s Music from Outer Space” (1967). As the supreme Vulcan himself would say, “Live long and prosper.”

The leaks are in a small tunnel of the PrK tunnel of the Zvezda module, due to cracking. They think the last time something docked there, it caused some more cracks to start.
NASA is afraid that thing could rupture. Rooskies think we're a bunch of pussies and it's no problem. So, we loose a little more air than normal, BFD.

Muhammad Ali was slated to be one of these, I believe. He refused induction in 1967.
Prior to that, in1962, he'd been classified 1-Y, i.e., "fit for service only in time of national emergency," because he scored below the 15th percentile on the basic skills test. He claimed this was due to dyslexia, & that might be true.
He commented, "I said I was the greatest, not the smartest."

The ISS has a total of 16 pressurized modules. Six Rooskie, 8 NASA, 1 Jap, and 1 Euroweenie.
It started with the Zarya module, launched by the Rooskies (but paid for by us). The Shuttle then took up the "Unity" module to join with it, then the Rooskies launched Zvezda. Then it could be manned independently. It was then slowly expanded, adding that big truss structure and the big solar panels (there were some hiccups with that).

Things is, with the solar panels, do they make enough energy to be worth the aggravation of having them? If they are grid-tied, does the utility's contract to buy the solar power survive the sale of the property? Questions that must be considered.

Beat the heat. Man removes a big screw that got stuck in the giant foot of an elephant. How much trust do you need to have in the intelligence of an elephant to put your body directly under his foot as you painfully unscrew the screw out as the elephant cries? I think I've been oversold on geishas. This capybara wanted to be stylish so they put a Tommy Bahama shirt on him. Nice. Baby bears, out of control. Thank goodness they're in slow motion. Rescue dog is a little clingy. Setting up a scrubbing station for your turtle. This makes turtle-ownership worth it. I usually don't like it when one person takes up two seats, but this guy looks tuckered out. He's training to be a competitive biscuit-maker. Aw: Orphaned baby goat rejected by its own herd snuggles with the guardian dogs. Helping a baby moose who can't cross the highway median. Steve Inman: It's okay to sucker-punch a lunatic on a rampage. Criminals mess with the wrong citizens. Including a criminal cat. Instant justice. Beta soyboy cuck gets into someone's face, jamming his bird-hand into the guy's face as he rants at him, and discovers he's not in his safe space any longer.

Actually that sounds like the "gifts" I'm getting. A dead bird.
When Leah Wilson learned that an injured crow was trapped in a home's rain gutter, she couldn't ignore it. Overhead, a flock of crows was already sounding the alarm, circling and dive-bombing the area as if calling for help. ... Determined to help, Leah spotted a fire truck parked a few blocks away and decided to take a chance. "I was like, 'Hey! You look like you want to save a crow today,'" she said with a laugh. The firefighters happily stepped in, raising their ladder and freeing the injured bird. ... After the rescue, Leah personally drove the crow to a wildlife rehabilitation center. During the trip, something happened that she still remembers vividly. "He latched on to my finger and held on," she said. "That was life changing." "I wrapped him up, got him into the car. He was scared, injured, and exhausted. At one point he wrapped his claws around my finger and just held on. I was on the phone with wildlife emergency, trying to stay calm while he wouldn't let go. I will never forget that feeling." A few days later, she learned the crow had recovered and been released back into the wild. Soon afterward, she experienced something she never expected. While walking her dog, a crow swooped down and dropped what she describes as a beautiful bundle of feathers at her feet.
Since then, Leah has received more than half a dozen offerings from crows, including sticks, balls of moss, and even a small bird's nest. What might seem unusual to others has become a meaningful reminder of her connection with the natural world. ... Today, her daily walks have become something of a neighborhood event. Crows regularly join Leah and her dog, flying alongside them from block to block. "It feels so good," she said. "It's like visiting my friends every morning and knowing they're going to be there."

Virtually every afternoon we sit on the front porch swing where a bluebird house sits about 15 feet away.
Watching a couple build a nest (why is the male always so much more colorful and beautiful than the female? it's apparently a thing in nature to attract females), then feed each other and the little hatchlings is most joyous.
Wifey used to get to watch the hatchlings fly away -- but I never did until having just retired a couple months ago. Adorable. They keep creeping out of the house hole further and further -- then turn around like they want to go back to the nest briefly -- until they eventually go for it and fly away.
And all I can keep thinking is: THERE ARE NO F*CKING TRANNIES IN NATURE!

This ISS air leak thing is sort of funny. Around 9AM, NASA ordered our four astronauts to suit up and get their asses in the Dragon to shelter and prepare for a possible emergency bug-out.
THe problem is a pesky air leak in one of the Russian modules. There's a docking port there and 20 years of stress from docking maneuvers has apparently caused cracks to develop. They thought they had it under control, but the air leak rate doubled yesterday.
One of the leaks is in a inaccessible area, and Roscomos decided to use they should use a saw (no mention of what type) to hack into the area. That freaked NASA out.
I don't know if the Russians actually used the saw, but they did pause to allow more measurements and assessments to be made.

Russians couldn't get to one spot so they got a saw
American saw the saw, put on their suits and exited to their own compartment.
They need some smoke. Let it loose and watch where it goes. Then float some epoxy, first and some catalyst right behind it.

I'm on Instagram to not be pissed off all the time. A very good week to do that by the way.
Anyways, I do follow my favourite young actresses. Little Ariana Greenblatt - young Gamora in 'Avengers', 'Stuck in the Middle' a great show, was at Cannes. She had pictures in very nice dresses. So I thought of you.
She's actually a model for L'Oreal. She had a picture in Cannes where she was beside her picture in a L'Oreal ad on the side of a building. Not bad for about 18 years old.
And world champion skateboarder Sky Brown, whom my late Mother LOVED, had pictures of her holding onto a car on a skateboard in high heels in a Dolce and Gabana (sp?) dress. I know that's a big brand from "Two and a Half Men."
Still made me laugh and I thought of you. Welcome back...lol

I had to look up how they detect leak locations. They first isolate the various modules one by one until they find which one is losing pressure, then go over that with an ultrasonic detector that listens for the tell-tale sound signature.
Air management on the ISS is a tight, tricky thing. Besides the obvious, one worry NASA had about sawing was metal shavings and particles getting suspended in the air.

I got a customer who came to the US from Portugal about 20 years ago. A really good mason (go figure), and came here because there wasn't enough work for him there. I build him one really nice harley every year. He probably has 9 or 10 by now. He has a massive collection of motorcross bikes. Between harleys and those he probably has 100. Before he came here he barely could afford a car. He works his ass off. I can't understand a damn thing he says though. lol

I got to reading about the life support/atmosphere system on the ISS. Complicated thing.
Theoretically, you could have a closed loop system. We've got humans onboard. They're breathing O2, and burning that with food (C and H), to make CO2 and H2O (also, other outputs).
So, if you could split the CO2, you'd get the O2 back. And then electrolysize water. They attempt to that. They make O2 primarily from water, and then a Sabitier reaction to react CO2 to water and methane. The methane and some excess H2 is vented overboard.
You can figure out the balance of all that. Food is bringing up carbon and H2. Can you balance that perfectly with all those reactions? Theoretically, you should, but in practice not exactly.
And they lose atmosphere with airlock operations. And leaks. They have to have make up N2. Extra O2 comes from water they haul up with resupply as well as these emergency oxygen generator cannisters they haul up.

The northern sky turn dark, and as the black front approaches, furious flapping can be seen.
With an imperious gesture, the Ewok sweeps his hand to Manhattan.
The multitude of crows, an endless seeming sky of beaks, move over the river. Faint sounds of human outrage are heard. Then the fires start, and the city is no more.

Ours was a potluck on the lower hay field of my niece's farm. We rented the pavilion and chairs for eating, and cleared out the three bay shop for eating. It was a lot of fun, and the bride was rode down on the back of an ATV.
It was on-brand for my family, and my wife's family put up with it because it was 2021

It's funny, because The Wifey and I didn't have any family -- aside from virtually all attendees (and a few old friends), who were "work family,"
I don't know why (something I must have seen as a kid), but always wanted to get married on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean as the sun was setting -- which is what we did at Califia Park in San Clemente, CA.
We were gonna have a fancy, expensive reception at a public hotel or the like -- then decided we could spend the money on re-sodding the back yard and have the reception (catered) at our home.
We're going to Israel in October, where we have the chance to (a) get baptized in the Jordan River; and (b) renew our wedding vows ... but because we are not fully-committed Christians, will likely refuse for fear of hypocrisy.

There's more to it than that. Michigan is awash with brownfields located adjacent to power plants and languishing water systems. Lansing has acres of land that used to support Fisher Body and Oldsmobile. It is desolate, fully cleared.
Why aren't they choosing that rather than farmland far from power or water?

Not in Michigan. We have no active duty bases, and the National Guard installations are well away from where they want to plant these things. Something's not right about it. For the last 40 years Michigan has been all about trying to reinforce the urban core, bring jobs to Detroit, Lansing, Flint, and now it's all "Hey everybody, let's pave farmland!"
There is something else going on.

Option1: Buy a brownfield site and sign up for a never ending cycle of pollution cleanup. The site is surrounded by ghettos filled with drug addicted thieves who will steal anything that isn't nailed down during construction, and who will then terrorize your H1B employees after you start up. Meanwhile, city officials will suck you dry with demands for bribes.
Option 2: Buy a couple of farms. Pay the farmers' kids a decent wage, which is more than they'd ever get farming.

Collins Ties Platner in Latest Poll
Collins doesn't have to match him in any poll. In her last three wins, the rigged polls drastically underestimated Collins' support. In 2008, polls were 8 points under her final vote performance. In 2014, polls again understated her support by 8 points.
In 2020, polls understated her support by 12 points. That's at the end of this clip. The Nazi had been "leading" in the rigged polls -- by less than 8% -- but while stupid liberal-leaning women are willing to vote for a Nazi, they don't want to vote for someone who abuses women and lies in wait for burglars, getting an rape-erection when he hears someone at the window.By the way, Lyndsey Fifield sent a text in August 2025 identifying Platner's tattoo as a Totenkampf. Platner himself -- who claims he's a "military expert" and "history buff" -- claims he did not know it was a Totenkampf until October 2025. When asked about this, he says she never told him it was a Totenkampf, so how could he, the owner of the tattoo and allegedly a "military expert" and "history buff," know what a highly-identifiable symbol from the most documented war of all time know?
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Democratic challenger Graham Platner are in a dead heat for the November Senate election, according to a recent survey. Platner has faced a litany of scandals since he started his campaign, including having a tattoo featuring Nazi symbolism, and increased in recent days and weeks with revelations about sexually inappropriate social media posts and extramarital sexting. Platner and Collins each earned 46% support among likely voters, with 8% undecided in the latest survey from Fabrizio, Lee & Associates, a Trump-aligned pollster. Among those voters, 39% said they would "definitely vote for Collins, while 40% said they would "definitely" vote for Platner. Politico first obtained the survey.
The most recent RealClearPolitics.com polls average has Planter leading by 7.4%. Platner's scandals appear to have contributed to the narrowing of the contest.
How did Lindsey Fifield know it was a Totenkampf if Platner had not, as she said, called it "My Totenkampf"? I don't want to be a sexist, but it's men, not women, who are interested in World War Two and military history. It's not women watching the History Channel. (Though maybe they are -- isn't it all Aliens and Bigfoot now?) So how did she know what his Totenkampf tattoo was before the military-expert war-buff who owned the tattoo did?
Some Democrats are starting to run away:
NEW: Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean says Graham Platner "has disqualified himself" from Maine Senate race.

I'm not sure though if it even matters, but she seems to engage in failure theater in a way that she takes a dive only when it doesn't really matter. So probably a good thing to keep around?

He is a conservative from the area in Maine they are having a rally for "Maine Kampf" tonight. He said he went to -I think grade school -with Platner who was always very smart intellectually and interested in history. He said there's no way Platner didn't know what the tatoo symbolized.
He also said rural Maine residents aren't the problem. They would vote for the Republican. It's people moving into Maine from places like NY which will help him get elected.

Collins is despicable. Platner is despicable.

The current 79-year-old Governor, Janet Mills, is still on the ballot for Commie U.S. Senator (after having suspended her campaign because she's apparently not the NAZI Mainers are looking for) ...

After dragging him through the mud for a while it came out the kid was recovering from chemo and with his short, thin hair had limited hair style choices.
So...random teenaged boy has to know what NAZI hair styles are (even though its not, it was just a common hairstyle in the middle of last century) but a Senate candidate and supposed military history buff can get one of the most common NAZI symbols tattooed on him and its...ok?

******************
The ironclad rule to kiss me is no tongue in my ear. That's the first memory of making out at a drive in on my first date. It seered my brain with ick and horror.
Years after we married I asked my husband what on earth was this deal? Was it Southern? Or did the idea jump to Long Island?
He said he'd heard of it and one girl did it to him and he thought it was gross as well.
I think it was supposed to make me crazy with lust vs wanting to ask wth are you doing? He was a football player in my class and apparently a catch. I was friends with him only. My left arm had muscles like Popeye from the few drive in dates I went on. Then I stopped exept for dances and one Doobie Brother's Concert. Bleah.
We are a match made in heaven of no ear licking.
There are other rules I have probably forgotten. The latest is that I stop saying, "You know" When I end a sentence. I don't know where I picked this up, but it annoys my dude. So I'm now sometimes saying it on purpose and he laughs.

[For those unaware:] "The term "Gerrymanding" derives from a political cartoon published in the Boston Gazette in 1812. It was named after Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry (pronounced with a hard "G") after he signed a controversial redistricting bill designed to unfairly favor his Democratic-Republican Party.
One of the newly drawn, oddly contoured districts in Essex County twisted and stretched so bizarrely that it was likened to a mythological monster. Artist Elkanah Tisdale drew a political cartoon adding claws, wings, and a dragon-like head to the district’s outline, and a dinner guest remarked that it looked like a salamander. Another guest replied, "No, a Gerrymander"—a portmanteau of "Gerry" and "salamander"—and the name permanently stuck to the practice of manipulating electoral maps."

The Week That Was Woke
JD VanceCarl Benjamin said that we should view the UK police as the "colonial police" -- the colonial police protect the interests of the colonizers, and enforce the colonizer's will against the indigenous, conquered people. Brendan O'Neill:
@JDVance Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it. Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won't be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response--the only response--is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse. It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody--nobody--should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
[T]his horror speaks to a deeper moral rot: It reveals the corrosive effect the ideology of wokeness has had on the institutions of our society. The reason the cops believed the knife-wielding monster and dismissed his dying victim is simple: The killer was a brown-skinned man, and his victim was a white-skinned man. Critical race theory is rife in Britain's police forces. Under official guidance, cops must believe every accusation of a "hate crime." They're trained to always be on the lookout for racism. Indeed Hampshire Police, which covers Southampton, boasts of its devotion to the woke state's holy mission of hunting down "hate." Its "race action plan" fizzes with the kind of critical-race drivel you hear on every Ivy League campus. It describes the Minnesota death of George Floyd in 2020 as a "pivotal moment" for Britain's police, too. That tragedy compelled the force, it says, to be "anti-racist" in all police actions. The irony is thick: This force claims to have "learned the lessons" of the death of a black man who cried "I can't breathe" -- yet just six years later its officers are horribly mistreating a white boy who pleaded the same. It's precisely their embrace of the post-Floyd BLM mania that led these cops to grossly demean young Henry. Having imbibed the infantile script that casts whites as oppressors and non-whites as oppressed, they were primed to believe Digwa and to doubt Henry. To them, he was just a white man, and what could be worse than that? ... Prime Minister Keir Starmer and virtually our entire political establishment took the knee for the career criminal Floyd. They've done no such thing for the kind, thoughtful Henry Nowak. And there it is: the "virtuous," obscene racial prejudice of the woke elites.David Lammy, a top Labour politician commu-splains why he refuses to take a knee now: He says he took a knee for George Floyd because that was "during Covid" and it's different now because it's not during Covid. What? They're all pretending there is no two-tier policing -- despite having previously explicitly demanded two-tier policing:
The Telegraph
@Telegraph 1h Police may not always need to treat people of different racial origins equally, David Lammy has said. The Justice Secretary suggested there could be cultural circumstances in which police officers might treat someone from an ethnic minority differently
James Talarico's "church" is totally "Christian" you guys.
For many self-described religious Democrats, squaring their support for abortion and radical gender ideology with their faith is a challenge. But at Texas Democrat James Talarico's church, supporting abortions is part of the congregation's "goals for the world." At the Texas church where the Democrat senate hopeful preaches sermons on the need for abortion in the "trans community," church funds are sent not only to abortion giant Planned Parenthood, but also to radical organizations that pay to help facilitate out-of-state travel for women to kill their unborn babies, and an organization that runs a summer camp for transgender-identifying kids as young as 11. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, the woke Austin church attended by Talarico, lists Planned Parenthood, which ends the lives of hundreds of thousands of unborn babies every year, as one of the organizations that shares its "vision and goals for the world." The church, which The Daily Wire reported last week stocks sexually explicit books aimed at young people in its library, sets aside money every year for Planned Parenthood, according to its website. It also describes itself as a "Reproductive Freedom Congregation," meaning it believes that "abortion is a blessing."
...
The church's position on abortion is in line with Talarico's own support for codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law to create a so-called right to an abortion. Talarico grounds his support for abortion in the biblical account of an angel visiting the Virgin Mary and telling her that she would miraculously conceive and give birth to Jesus Christ. "I say all this in the context of abortion, because before God comes over Mary, and we have the incarnation, God asks for Mary's consent," he said during an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. "You cannot force someone to create... so that's how I come down on that side of the issue." ... The radical pro-abortion groups are just a sliver of the liberal causes supported by the church. Other organizations St. Andrew's lists on its donation page included Out Youth Austin, the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Evergreen Action, and the Carbon180. Out Youth Austin describes itself as a group that provides "a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth to come together, receive support, and make friends who understand who they are." One of the programs it offers is a summer camp for kids between the ages of 11-17 who identify as gay or transgender.
NY Democrats just passed a bill to call mothers "gestating parents" and fathers "non-gestating parents."
The bill was sponsored by Democrats Amy Paulin in the State Assembly and Senator Luis Sepulveda in the State Senate. The bill now proceeds to New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul's desk for approval.SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!! "Pride" events struggling as corporations close their wallets to gay evangelization.
Pride celebrations across the country continue to lose out on large sponsorships as corporations, a key source of funding, shrink their affiliation with diversity causes and LGBTQ+ events. Corporate sponsorships of celebrations in several cities, including New York City, Salt Lake City, Louisville, St. Louis, Orlando, and Pittsburgh are down from previous years, organizers said. Jordan Braxton, co-president of the United States Association of Prides, which supports Pride celebrations nationwide, said that while some smaller Prides have seen a growth in sponsorships, a majority have seen a reduction. She said the Trump administration's dismantling of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, has scared corporations away from sponsoring Pride celebrations. "I think that's why some of the corporations have pulled back, because they don't want that government scrutiny," she said.
Randi Weingarten thinks she found the Real Villain responsible for plummeting student performance, and -- here's the shock -- the Real Villain is not Randi Weingarten.
Weingarten Blames Screens, Not Herself, For Falling Test Scores American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is sounding the alarm about the decade-long decline in student test scores, pointing to screens and devices as a culprit. She's calling it a "call to action." She left out the part about how she helped cause the problem in the first place. For two years during the COVID pandemic, Weingarten and the AFT fought aggressively to keep schools closed. In July 2020, as the Trump administration urged schools to reopen, Weingarten called the push "reckless," "callous," and "cruel," and threatened the possibility of safety strikes. Internal emails later released by a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee showed the AFT had access to draft guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control before it was made public, as well as proposed specific language that could trigger renewed closures. Research published afterward confirmed what was already evident: Districts with stronger teachers unions were significantly less likely to reopen for in-person instruction, even after controlling for local COVID conditions. So kids stayed home. They got on computer screens and stayed there for two years, cut off from teachers, friends, and anything resembling a normal childhood. The consequences were not abstract. The National Assessment of Educational Progress recorded the largest declines in math and reading scores in its history. Reading results dropped to levels not seen since the early 1990s. Researchers documented surging rates of anxiety, depression, and social developmental delays among children who spent critical years in isolation. The damage, experts say, will take a generation to undo. In her book published last fall, Weingarten wrote that she "...led the AFT in developing a concrete plan to reopen schools as quickly and safely as possible." That's a remarkable claim given the documented record of what her union actually did. Weingarten told Congress in 2023 there were "... things we really didn't get right," including the impact of prolonged closures. That acknowledgment was notable, but what followed it wasn't accountability. It was a pivot. The same union that lobbied to keep students off school grounds is now positioning itself as a champion of children's well-being, pointing an accusing finger at Silicon Valley while the learning-loss data keeps compounding.

Over seven in ten people in France believe that crime is 'out of control', a year after fears emerged that the country was sliding towards a 'Mexicanized narco-state'. According to a poll this week from CSA for Le Journal du Dimanche, 72 per cent of the French population believes that crime has dramatically escalated beyond previous levels. This belief is strongest among supporters of the centre-right Républicains, at 92 per cent, followed by 83 per cent of National Rally, and 62 per cent of supporters of President Emmanuel Macron's neo-liberal bloc. The conviction was also held by a majority of left-wing voters, at 55 per cent overall. This included 58 per cent of supporters of the far-left La France Insoumise party, founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and 51 per cent of Socialist voters. Only Green Party supporters were below a majority, at just 45 per cent, in not believing that France is in danger of becoming like Mexico, where the state has lost authority to rogue criminal networks. Women were more likely than men to view the situation as out of control, at 76 per cent compared to 69 per cent.What can explain the stupid public believing that crime is out of control? Only one thing: Racism.

"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.' They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
"The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition."

Probably 25% of an agency’s revenue is from ‘models’ who are basically paying their way into the agency. Rich girls, yacht girls with deep-pocket sugardaddies, and whatever Ella Emhoff is.

They make the point that the UK is still being governed by the Empire (The Commonwealth) and that the empire is just moving its people around as it sees fit for economic and social engineering purposes.
The native Brits have been against it all for decades, but the immigration keeps on coming no matter which party, or PM, is in control.
So the government spends all of its time putting out the fires it started and just trying to hold it all together with force and propaganda while protecting the migrants at all costs.

Otherwise, they never would have shown up.

The thng that always happens is this:
Many os the "tourist hotels" (like Hyatt and Hilton" advertise themselves as being "on Union Square" (i.e.the center of town). but in reality they're two or three blocks off Union Square -- in nthe bad direction, rest nex to the Tenderloin.
So what happens 500 times a day, every day, is that a new tourist family checks in to one of the hotels, steps outside for the first time headed for Union Squaremand rthe cable cars -- but briefkly can't get their directinal bearings, and instead turn the wrong way, and within 50 yards find themselves knee-deep in fentanyll addicts and human feces.
This literally happen more frequently that any tourist going the right direction, and is the reasn SF has such a bad reputation.

Starmer is using the SPLC playbook. If 'right-wing' protestors aren't being violent, send the riot cops at them to incite violence and get BBC video clips Starmer will use to denounce a 'right-wing' protest as so violent, police had to forcibly subdue many violent protestors.
Always remember that video clips provided by politicians, the media, U-tubers and Tik-Tokers, and 'citizen observers,' do not show what happened prior to or after the edited clip. We saw this many times with 'citizen observer' video clips of the shootings of two anti-ICE 'demonstrators' in Minneapolis early this year.

They are taking Mary's immediate and earnest response at the annunciation, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word" and twisting it into an excuse for evil. Where Eve faltered, Mary, the new Eve was perfectly obedient. A model for everyone, and they twist it.

On this topic, I will leave you this quote from a Moron more articulate than I :
"I'm pulling for Katie. She's a hideously ugly, retarded hypercunt. I love her. She barely even qualifies as human. She's a dull-eyed dairy cow, but with a spark of simian malevolence that shines dimly through the haze of perpetual
bovine confusion. I bet she forgets to bathe for days at a stretch and then beats her maid with an old femur bone because everything always seems to smell bad.
She is the leader California deserves, and I just can't get enough of her."

That's a very good point.
Eve listened to the Serpent and thus caused the Fall of all mankind.
Mary listened to God and ushered in our Salvation into this world.

Well, an "incident" on the ISS earlier today. NASA ordered all our astronauts (and our includes everybody but the Russians) to take shelter in the Dragon capsule.
The problem is a leaky Rooskie module. It has a docking port and is developing cracks due to 20+ years of the bumping due to the docking.
They thought they had the leaks under control, but another popped up today. NASA strongly disagrees with the Rooskies patching/sealing method, saying it's very risky. The Rooskies say we're a bunch of pussies. So, NASA had our guys hole up the Dragon while the Rooskies did their repair method.

Without even looking it up, I can promise that the "church" Tanrico attends is the liberal Presbyterian USA branch. The Prebyterian Church of America (of which I grew up) and Orthodox Presbyterians are anti-abortion and not woke. I left the Presbyterian USA church in FL not peacefully and standing up to them.
As a new Roman Catholic I will still defend the conservative branches of Presbyterians. The liberal ones have gone the way of Lutherans and Unitarians.
Kamala's step daughter is certainly not model material. Money bought her a job. Her tattoos look like mine did with Silly Putty and the colored comic section of our newspaper when I was a wild and feral girlie.

Select public school districts have moved to install tampon dispensers in at least one male student restroom, aligning with broader pushes for menstrual equity and inclusivity.
And now, they are half way to writing this into law :
NY Democrats just passed a bill to call mothers "gestating parents" and fathers "non-gestating parents."
____________________________
Should this law pass, will they remove the tampon dispensers from male restrooms of the public school system. And, if they don't can a concerned citizen file a fraud and waste claim against the City of New York?

She reminds me a bit of Markle the Yacht Girl Ho.
First of all, she's nothing compared to most of the girls I went to HS with.
I was of the supermodel status of others but I refused to sleep with people.
Which would normally bring me to the Weinstein 3 but I will refrain.
I had offers in college to be flown to California by two agencies. My mother said no. My mother said no to a lot of things, which probably saved my life. Even with her over 1000 miles away I would always know she'd say no and I was a good girl. Wild stuff but good in other ways of knowing my worth. And it was not for fame. She even said no to Revlon wanting to take photos of just my eyes. I felt that to be no big deal but she still said no.
To this day I don't take selfies unless there's a reason like my grands. I don't like to look at photos of myself, altho they are still good.
My husband stinks at selfies as well and we almost ended it all from a hotel balcony in Vienna trying to get St. Stephen's in the background with parts of our faces laughing.
To video myself like sad Emhoff's spawn is simply, well, sad.

The thing about It Model Emhoff is that she exhibits zero, none, nada style or grace or femininity in that video.

I don't think that's true. I think the reason they didn't believe him was the killer's brother called them and established a narrative about Nowak calling him a naughty word, which is against the law in the UK. He didn't, of course, say anything about stabbing.
So the whole interaction was mapped out in the minds of the cops before they even arrived. Some drunk yob was harassing someone and got roughed up for his trouble. When they arrived the father was holding Nowak up against a wall, complaining that he refused to stand. Not "couldn't stand": "refused to stand". So when he slumped down, the cops thought he was drunk. When they asked Nowak where he'd been stabbed, he couldn't tell them, so it played into the story they were hearing.
Were the cops lazy and unprofessional? Sure. But never underestimate the strength of getting your version of events out first.

Civilian supersonic flight over US soil was effectively banned in '73. Trump signed a executive order reducing those restrictions to something based on loudness at ground level, not just air speed.
This X-59 is testing tech they hope to use for commercial overland supersonic flight one day. The big sonic boom (and ridiculous costs) were what killed the Concorde.

They were being professional as they were trained to be.
That's what a lot of commentators in the UK are talking about; the police there have been trained to favor the minority over the whites when things like this happens.
It's not just the individual cops that are the problem there, it's the entire system built around protecting non-whites, see the grooming rape gangs for example, which was also overlooked, hidden, and covered up.

Then our pastor left us hanging. About 30 couples fought to get out of this denomination. I defied the head honcho who visited from Orlando and he cut my mic when I questioned their stance on abortion. This was in front of 300 people of our church.
I took the fall because we were moving West in 2015 and I knew who my friends were. Someone had to do it.
The temporary male pastor did not like me. The last sermon before the vote was by an assistant who had a lesbo sister. None of us had even met the lesbo sister and her tribe, but it was declared to our faces that they were not welcome. I had no idea who was gay or not in that church, but I did not want a homo in the pulpit, and that's what it was about.
The ass. pastor swayed the elderly by lying and saying we were all against gheys. I came very close to standing up and protesting during the sermon but I was well known enough, thanks.
The vote was very close. I think now cheating. 30 couples left the next day.

I call it "Fagriculture".
It is the cultivation of a homosexual (and now trans- and "other"-sexua)l culture amongst the youth of America and the western world, in order to destroy faith, family, and ultimately western society.
It is one of the most important tools in the Marxist toolbox, and has been grudgingly accepted as a tool by their islamist allies, although now that the islamists in the West are starting to see it seep into their OWN children's lives (especially via public schools), they are starting to stand up against it.

Oh No! Scott Pelley May Lead Parade of Communists Out the Doors of CBS to Start a New Communist "News" Organization
They're going to form a Super Socialist Substack, Dylan Byers warns us.
Newsmax:Meanwhile, three other leftwing propagandists in danger of being fired -- Leslie "we won't bother to verify the Hunter Biden Laptop, that's your job" Stahl, Bill Whitaker (who "interviewed" Kamala Harris in that sliced-and-diced advertisement that got CBS sued) and Jon Wertheim -- say that they're going to stay at 60 Minutes and not quit in solidarity because they're seriously overpaid and could not get work anywhere else. Oh that's the real reason, not the admitted one. The fake reason they give is that they have to stay and fight the corrupt "leadership" from the inside. Note that they wrote an initial draft announcing they were staying on, which attacked the "leadership" without naming names. That's because Weiss and Bilton have reaffirmed the basic rule that direct insubordination is, was, and always will be a fireable offense. So they took the coward's way out and grumbled about unnamed parties in "leadership." But they were even more cowardly than that, because they tore up that "initial" draft and just... leaked it to political ally Dylan Byers.
The firing of "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley could be just the tip of the iceberg at the venerable news magazine. ... Dylan Byers, a media reporter at Puck, a digital news company, warned more departures could be coming during an appearance on MS NOW. Along with Pelley, correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega were recently fired and correspondent Anderson Cooper departed. "No one has left the building at '60 Minutes' without some version of what Scott did, some sort of criticism toward the new management, and indeed the new ownership about the direction of the show," Byers said. "It is very difficult to see how this new leadership is able to usher '60 Minutes' as it has existed in the past into the future," Byers added. "We only have three remaining correspondents there. I know that they currently are deliberating over what they are going to do. "It's very possible that we're going to arrive at a moment here in a matter of weeks, if not days, where there is no existing talent left at '60 Minutes' and they are going to have to build this back up from scratch."
Dylan ByersSuch heroes!
@DylanByers NEW: The initial draft of the Stahl-Whitaker-Wertheim letter read like a full-throated rejection of CBS leadership, accusing their "overlords" of using "chilling" and "callous" tactics--all of it omitted from final memo. It also did not include any language about Nick Bilton...
"60 Minutes" correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim said Friday that they planned to stay on at the newsmagazine, capping days of turmoil for the show. "We have had a hard time deciding whether to stay," the three wrote in a memo to their colleagues at the program, before adding: "We don't want to see '60 Minutes' die."60 Minutes would die without them, you guys. The graveyards are filled with indispensable men. There's room for three or four more.
Fuck you. Weiss and Bilton should fire them for leaking the insubordinate initial draft, and for accusing them of running 60 Minutes like "a dictatorship" in the cowardly re-write they did wind up publishing.
They wrote that they were still "deeply upset by the firings" of executive producer Tanya Simon and high-ranking producer Draggan Mihailovich, whom they called "strong leaders who everyone respected." Their colleague Scott Pelley was fired earlier this week after he challenged the newsmagazine's new executive producer over the recent firings. The longtime correspondents said that "as far as we can tell," those leaders were fired because "they fought for our '60 Minutes' values and stood up to protect our independence and integrity." "Newsrooms are not supposed to be run like dictatorships," they added in the memo, obtained by NBC News. "Collaboration and argument are the way we have always worked at 60."

They also strong-armed the medical examiner, IIRC. There was a lot more going on, but let's set that aside.
Chauvin was convicted, and voting "not guilty" is emotionally different than voting "guilty", so emotional manipulation tactics do not work the same in both directions.
I'm with the defense attorney; the angry, pro-crime protestors are likely to help Karmelo get convicted. Just like Chauvin.

— Within the overall information-scape "television" is an irrelevant, antiquated format. The vast majority of people these days get their information from "the Internet" in its various aspects, not from television.
— Within the irrelevant subset of "television," broadcast network television is the most irrelevant format.
— Within the irrelevant sub-subset of broadcast network television, CBS is a ludicrous dinosaur network, with a tiny dwindling audience of super-seniors.
— Within the irrelevant sub-sub-subset of CBS, 60 Minutes is the most irrelevant show of all, still coasting after 40+ years on the undeserved credibility the show baselessly accrued in the '70s and '80s with some juvenile hit pieces that in retrospect were just garbage propaganda.

While still wide open for issues, the cars won’t shut down, they may not start, or they go into a low power mode. This was passed in 2021. Europe requires this, too, so some of the technology is already in cars. Much of the required technology doesn’t exist, or at least it isn’t great, so will be interesting to see what gets pushed back as a result.
By the way, your driving habits are already shared with your insurance companies, to include hard breaking, speed, acceleration, etc. through telematics.

I couldn't afford a car until I was 26, so without my girlfriend's parents driving, I would have had to take my prom date out on my bicycle.
By the time my step-daughter had a prom and graduated from high school in The Bay Area in '96, all the kids were taking limousines as groups.
The wild thing was that -- owing to fears of injuries and deaths -- the high schools literally locked the kids in the gym for the entire evening, with chaperones (in which I participated).

Per Wiki, From the 1973 comedy movie "The Groove Tube"
Uranus Corporation - a series of commercials interspersed with the news sketch, with the company name pronounced with the stress on the second and third syllables. One Uranus commercial touts the amazing properties of its space-age polymer product "Brown 25" (which looks suspiciously like human feces): "It has the strength of steel, the flexibility of rubber, and the nutritional value of beef stew."

"Foreign billionaires and nonprofits have funneled tens of millions of dollars to the activist groups fueling data center opposition across the United States, records show. Chief among them is Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, who has contributed nearly $14 million to four left-wing groups that signed a letter calling for a U.S. data center moratorium.
Those groups are the Indivisible Project, Americans for Financial Reform, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace USA, to which Wyss has contributed $7,455,000, $4,382,000, $2,107,400, and $50,000 as of March 2026, according to data compiled by the watchdog group Americans for Public Trust and highlighted in a new report from the American Energy Institute. Another foreign billionaire, British hedge fund manager and climate activist Chris Hohn, has contributed $200,000 to Extinction Rebellion, which signed the same December 2025 letter calling on Congress to "support a national moratorium on the approval and construction of new data centers."

What's funny is that your cow-orker is not the only one that misunderstands "freedom of the press". Scott Pelley himself may be shocked to learn that it means that if he starts a scurrilous blog saying mean things about the Administration, the Feds *cannot* lean on Substack to censor him. Even if they want to, American gov't *cannot* legally hint to a blog publisher that if they don't censor Pelley, then they'll get extra scrutiny from regulators.
I'm serious. Big Media insiders like Pelley stereotypically have a self-flattering delusion that the 1A only applies to "made men" like he used to be. He probably doesn't even know that it also applies to "little people" like he is now.

The Department of Justice has sent one of its attorneys to Los Angeles to observe the ballot-counting process, as President Donald Trump has once again claimed fraud as two key races have yet to be called.
The tedious process of counting all of California's mail-in ballots has left the fate of Republicans Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton hanging in the balance.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Renner was spotted Friday walking through LA County's central processing center, according to footage from Fox News, alongside a member of Democratic California Attorney General Rob Bonta's team.
'My office has a presence on the ground right now, is monitoring the situation closely, and stands ready to protect voters and ensure California’s election laws are followed,' Bonta posted to X, sharing a story about the feds being on hand.

Revealed: The SPLC Paid "Informants" to Burn Crosses, Paid "White Supremacists" Who Wanted to Quit to Remain
SPLC paid for KKK cross burnings, robes and hoods, recruitment, living expenses, racist merch: explosive indictmentOh, and an SPLC employee was fucking one of the Cosplay Racists she was paying:
"The SPLC paid F-9 for over 20 years," the superseding indictment noted, also adding that an employee at the SPLC was in a romantic relationship with the field source.Perfect. The SPLC is literally in bed with the KKK. A KKK they're paying to continue to "exist," at least on paper.
Did they pay anyone for blue button down shirts and khakis?
A superseding indictment returned by an Alabama grand jury on Tuesday has accused the Southern Poverty Law Center of secretly funneling millions in donations to informants associated with extremist groups such as the KKK, and those funds going towards the making of Klan robes and hoods as well as cross burnings and recruitment. The newest indictment accuses the organization of funnelling around $4.1 million in donations "to a series of fictitious accounts" that were used to pay "field sources" affiliated with extremist groups between 2014 and 2023. The original indictment from April had alleged around $3 million in funds funneled between that time period, an amount that is now far greater. ... The indictment stated that donor funds paid to field sources were used to purchase materials for cross burnings and making Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods, attending and hosting extremist group rallies nationwide, creating and growing chapters of extremist groups as well as recruiting new members, making "racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies," and paying the living expenses of field sources to allow them to "focus on their extremist groups rather than seeking other employment."
"The SPLC actively led donors to believe that their donations would be used to 'dismantle' violent extremist groups. However, the SPLC hid from donors the fact that a portion of their donated funds was being secretly used to support extremist groups and to fund their violent, racist, and extremist activities," the indictment stated. "These activities were of the same nature as the activities about which the SPLC published articles on its website and other forums in an effort to obtain donations." Prosecutors expanded upon the actions of field sources cited in the original indictment. One of the sources, dubbed "F-9" in the indictment, was allegedly paid over $1.2 million in donor money. The source allegedly infiltrated the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi organization, "at the direction of the SPLC," and helped raise money for the group. He allegedly received funds from the SPLC through a bank account for the fake entity Tech Writers Group.
The SPLC set up ficitious entities to fund these "field sources."

F-30 wasn't the only one. F-31 & F-32, KKK members, wanted out in 2010.
The SPLC bribed them to stay in the movement. These Fs used the $ to attend extremist rallies and to gain a leadership role.
SPLC reimbursed them for cross-burning materials.

I'll say it again. These are FBI new recruits, and this is considered a "training mission" to get into the minds of the terrorist that they were charged with hunting down. (kind of a "be the gopher" type deal.) This is why they all look like new-feds and are so incompetent. It is also whey they are so strict about hiding their identity, and whey it has never leaked. Also why no one at FBI (Patel) has come clean, as it was a semi-legitimate and revealing who and what would destroy careers, especially of newbies who didn't know better, and since it was nominally a legitimate training exercise.

"The SPLC's public records show they historically raise significant capital, but the organization does not disclose a comprehensive or ranked public list of its largest individual donors.
However, major donors and financial backers frequently highlighted in news reports and disclosures include:
George Soros / Open Society Foundations
George Clooney
Tim Cook
Companies and their philanthropic arms (such as JPMorgan Chase, Pfizer, and Bank of America) have contributed directly or matched employee donations over the years."

After 2010, Democrats were never going to lose power again.
So, they started importing a new electorate at massively increased levels (Obama's border turnaways as deportations game started in 2011), and they shifted from convincing voters to fortifying elections through government grants, upping the patronage game to remarkable levels.
America was never allowed to swing back from the leftward shift in 2008. Not even in 2016 when a Republican president was elected.
The swing back finally began in 2025 when fed grants started getting cut.

The SPLC indictment uses the magic words "scheme" and "wire fraud" but doesn't say RICO. That's coming, as the indictment shows RICO predicates.
When the indictment turns into a criminal complaint it'll be the start of a sprawling RICO case brought out of Alabama, which is where SPLC is based. Another potentially lager RICO case is being built out of Miami.
SPLC is the first "node." It will expand to include other "nodes" as more grand juries issue indictments. Picture a diagram on a wall with lots of pins and colored string.

My current car is a Forrester. So, no.
I made me feel nostalgic for air conditioning, though. My damn thing hasn't had air conditioning for about ten years now. Twice it broke, and twice I had it fixed, and then it broke again and I gave up.
I usually drive with the front windows down in warm weather.

When I worked in software development -- and where the salespeople could make a great annual salary with a single "sale" -- I used to joke that they'd go into a meeting touting our company's automobile product and leave with a deal for an airline product ... and then demand that we just slap some wings on those cars and make them fly.
My favorite tag-line (I should have written a book, but it's hard to beat Yourdan's "Death March: The Complete Software Developer's Guide to Surviving 'Mission Impossible' Projects") was:
"Guaranteed. To. Fail."

The SPLC indictment uses the magic words "scheme" and "wire fraud" but doesn't say RICO. That's coming, as the indictment shows RICO predicates.
When the indictment turns into a criminal complaint it'll be the start of a sprawling RICO case brought out of Alabama, which is where SPLC is based. Another potentially lager RICO case is being built out of Miami.
SPLC is the first "node." It will expand to include other "nodes" as more grand juries issue indictments. Picture a diagram on a wall with lots of pins and colored string.

It's the oldest existing political Party.
It easily steamrolled the early opposition Parties, until it faced militants Republicans - and they still eventually absorbed that Party in the end.
They were and remain the Party of government and will continue to do so - they just have no opposition at the moment.

Dude, you're bringing back bad flashbacks.
[When I was a kid, my philandering father used to go to one of his many girlfriends' house and leave me sitting in the car for an hour (we're talking like 115 degrees in the Las Vegas summers). So one day -- must have been my passive-aggressive anger -- I sat there for the entire hour pressing the electric button to continually roll my passenger window up-and-down.
So when dad climbs in the car (and notices what I'm doing), the battery is dead and the care won't start. MAN, was he pissed at me ...

The organization itself is probably dead. I don't think it'll be able to recover from this.
However, the part that's going to be the most interesting is how much major donors knew.

You'd really have to see the FBi budget vs the SPLC budget to know that ALL of them were SPLC stooges.

In the 90s I worked in an old high-rise building downtown Oakland that was -- like virtually every other corporate building I ever worked in -- poor at regulating temperature (one area was always too hot, and one too cold).
Anyway, most people brought in space heaters to stay warm in the mornings -- and they were eventually banned because the electric panel fuses kept getting blown.
The other idiocy was you weren't supposed to open your office window (there was a trick to it and I often did) because they didn't want the liability if you decided to jump out the window.

I don't actually work there anymore, back in the 80s 90s in college. But I think what has to happen is return to sender as wrong address. UPS will only ever go with the original shipping direction which has to be wrong. They will keep sending it to the wrong address. The originator has to change that. Or walk it directly to the correct recipient. I hope that helps.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has just REFUSED to block a Trump judicial nominee, despite having the unilateral ability to do so with the "blue slip" — Democrats are FURIOUS
This is the *first time* in Trump's 2nd term a Democrat did not block a Trump nominee!
Antonio Pozos will now be allowed to ADVANCE, as neither Sen. Dave McCormick (R) or Fetterman used their blue slip powers, which effectively allow one senator block a judicial nominee for their state at any time — Punchbowl
Pozos was nominated to the Eastern District of PA.
Now, blue groups are gearing up to run ADS against Fetterman because of this move.
We should STILL GET RID OF BLUE SLIPS, they are blocking Trump nominees in other states!

DHS funding, last I heard, is done. An extra $70 billion provided to DHS to cover all the other parts of its functioning that weren't covered in the OBBB (which was mostly ICE enforcement).
Really, this is hugely important, more important than the SAVE Act. SAVE Act passed today wouldn't affect 2026. It can be revisited in early 2026 with a different makeup of senators that doesn't include Mitch, Tillis, Cassidy, or Cornyn. However, secured funding for the largest deportation machine in history through 2029? Making it impossible for Dems to hold it hostage in any way shape or form through either a slim Dem majority in the House or procedural votes?
That's big.

We've had one Forester and one Outback. We've been very happy with both.
One thing - they told us after the fact that if you get a flat tire you need to replace all four to keep the symmetrical all wheel drive in balance.
We haven't had to do that but it's a consideration

The same applies to any AWD and 4WD vehicles -- which I learned the hard way about 5 years ago.
[Subaru News You Can Use:] "In the early 1990s, facing declining sales, Subaru of America identified lesbians as a lucrative niche demographic, discovering they were four times more likely than average consumers to buy their vehicles. This relationship began with market research in hotspots like Northampton, Massachusetts, and Portland, Oregon, where marketers found that single women—many of whom were lesbians—were drawn to the cars' practicality, reliability, and all-wheel drive capabilities."

Michigan's Jocelyn Benson is sitting at the heart of the scandal.
She worked as a volunteer researcher and undercover investigator at the SPLC right after college, and makes an annual trek to the SPLC’s home city of Montgomery, Alabama,
Benson said she researched neo-Nazi and far-right groups at the center, posing as a freelance journalist to uncover the plans of white supremacist leaders and groups.
A girlfriend of disgraced founder Morris Dees, she resigned from the SPLC board when he was ousted.
But she is giving the Sgt. Shultz reply to any knowledge of what was going on.

The angry mob nullification tactic worked against Chauvin.
Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at June 05, 2026 03:51 PM (lf2F9)
They also strong-armed the medical examiner, IIRC. There was a lot more going on, but let's set that aside.
Chauvin was convicted, and voting "not guilty" is emotionally different than voting "guilty", so emotional manipulation tactics do not work the same in both directions.
I'm with the defense attorney; the angry, pro-crime protestors are likely to help Karmelo get convicted. Just like Chauvin.

Yahbut, their nose is so far up your ass that the seats are uncomfortable.
The mic is always on (whether you set it off or not) , it records how fast you're driving, how hard you brake, and how tight you turn. It records all of this and reports back to the company which then sells that data to insurance companies. It knows where you go and how you got there and how long you stayed. It records that and sends it back to the company who sells the data to who knows who - Homeland Security, the Russian Mafaya , the lawyer for the guy who is suing you, your political opponents?

May Jobs Report "Unexpectedly" Smashes "Expert" "Expectations"
Good news. Not enough to reverse the public's sour impressions of the economy, I'm afraid.
And inflation is still a problem.
A new jobs report exceeded expectations despite the U.S. economy facing inflation and record debt. U.S. payrolls rose by 172,000 last month, far above the Dow Jones' 80,000 estimate that CNBC reported Friday. Unemployment remained steady at 4.3%. "Almost every industry is hiring again except tech and finance. There are a lot of encouraging signs for the labor market heading into summer. (Unfortunately, inflation is a lot worse)," Navy Federal Credit Union chief economic Heather Long stated in a June 6 X post. ... This jobs increase follows a period of increased inflation. The cost of everyday goods rose 0.9% in March and 0.6% in April since the start of the Iran War, according to Consumer Price Index data.
Honestly, it looks like the hiring recession is over.

US average job gains in 2025: 10,000 a month

Almost every industry is hiring again except tech and finance. There are a lot of encouraging… https://t.co/nSzdmJYljz

Regime uncertainty is considered the one of the main causes of the Great Depression (tm). While Hoover's and Roosevelt's policies in and of themselves were bad, it was the constant change of rules that kept businesses behaving ultra-conservatively. With the Supremes ruling on tariffs and the settling in of the Trump administration we've seen a lot less regime uncertainty this year.
Anyway, that's what I believe is one of the reasons for the improvement in hiring.

I don't think our side has a sour impression of the economy. The Democraps are desperate for us to believe everything sucks, but we don't.
Everything is much better than it was under Biden. Prices are still high, but lower. Taxes and red tape are down, at least a little. Jobs are better and there are more of them for Americans.
Stock market is on fire. Anyone with a 401k or even a little money in the market has seen the brokerage statements. They must smile when they see their money increase each month.
Is there room for improvement? Of course. Gas is still too expensive and interest rates should be lower, among things.
But we are clearly on the right track, I think our side is almost universally optimistic, and all the naysayers in the enemy camps can suck my big phat dick until they choke to death.

-- 70k of the added jobs were "hospitality" (restaurants, bars, vacation destination, etc). That's encouraging on a larger scale because presumably it means those doing the hiring for these jobs are expecting busy summer travel and recreational spending.
-- On the downside, local government added 55k. These are taxpayer funded, not private sector demand. We need to shop government to the bone, not expand it.

Drastic over-hiring and a bubble in STEM education. Not to mention the foreign invaders. A correction was inevitable and probably good for the long run.

No one understands that they are paid for by the defense, and their goal is jury tampering -- to create the impression that there are masses of people outside, angry people, protesting that he is innocent. They are attempting nullification. Paid by defense and probably NGOs. This needs to be investigated by DOJ.

I need to dig out some old receipts, but I'd lay a $20 on the counter than the savings are not commensurate with the shrinkage.

They are aggressive toward anyone who approaches. They are loud and incoherent. They are paid thugs. The defense went around and hired the most violent and angry people and I would not be surprised if they all get a bonus if the jury hangs.
They did the same at the Chauvin trial to get the jury to find him guilty. There are probably more I can't think of. This a big problem This has to be nipped in the bud.

Cost of living also plays a role here. Few college kids are going to graduate into a low level career type job that makes them enough money to support themselves within weeks. My kid is now fully supporting herself after a year on her job (car purchase/car insurance/car tax taken over as of this month - hurray!), but she still pays me way below market rent for housing, with the goal that she'll be moving out at 28-29 and buying a townhome/condo that she can afford with all her savings (b/c she could not pay a full rental fee right now, or probably until she gets 2-3 promotions, let alone buy an attached house here without a few years to max save)...

> Nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000 jobs last month
These numbers were called anemic under Biden. And they’re down from April (179,000 added)
70k of those jobs were restaurants and bars. Local government added 55k, taxpayer funded, not private sector demand. Financial activities lost 22k and is down 107k since May 2025. Transportation down 92k from its peak.
Imagine uncritically reporting BLS numbers after a Commissioner was fired for revising them down lol. Thanks for your "reporting" reuters
Who the hell is traveling that the Leisure and hospitality jobs are up? People can't afford to travel. And personal experience in my area - I can say that hotels aren't filled and local attractions aren't very busy.
So let's assume this is true, what the hell is going on?
They are basically saying: Leisure and hospitality led all sectors while gas prices are wicked high and nobody can afford life. Make it make sense.
I’ll wait for the revisions, thank you very much. Also, if 1 person takes multiple jobs, each of those jobs counts as individual employment, which in a gig economy is becoming much more common place.

In the 00s and I to the mid 10s I switched jobs every 2-3 years. The process was straight forward, apply 2 maybe 3 round of interviews, get hired or get rejected. Maybe 3 weeks tops for end to end.

All of that has already happened.
11.5 million of the 20 million barrels that went out through the strait were replaced within days (pipelines like the Saudi pipeline that went from 500,000 a day to 7 million + per day, for example).
It's now common for tankers to go around the Saudi Arabia and pick up oil over there rather than dealing with the Oman Gulf, much less the strait.
All while Venezuela has tripled its oil exports (under American ownership again).
In fact, it's been going on so long, that the bubble from it is already deflating. American exports have been declining for a couple of weeks.

Deportations is the big item that no one talks about.
3 million have been deported (voluntarily and involuntarily) since the start of Trump's term.
If 2/3 of those are job holders of some kind, that's 2 million over 12 months, which is 160,000 jobs per month gone. If only half, it's 100,000 per month gone.

In the United States, "full employment" does not mean zero unemployment. It refers to a theoretical maximum employment rate where the economy is operating without generating unwelcome inflation. Economists and the Federal Reserve typically estimate this natural, healthy rate of unemployment to be in the range of 4.0 to 4.5%.

I have to laugh about all the "experts" I heard claiming just a week or two ago that even if the war ended today and Hormuz opened it would take until the end of the year for supplies to normalize and prices drop significantly. I had to roll my eyes at that, I doubt it would take 60 days. They may even return to below $70/with the current status quo.

The best way, now, is a personal recommendation to a company. This opens windows if you can do this.
As a RN I got hired for any job I applied to. The last job, within the med center who knew me well, was weird. I was fleeing from a horrid job (workman's comp...that I took for the job share to have long weekends to fly to see my dying father). It was idiotic.
They did not want me to leave and I applied for a job I'd already held over a decade prior. Interview went well. My experience was much more than most nurses. I did not get the job, the only one in 3 decades. I was well known and highly respected by docs and all.
Why? Because of inter-hospital crap and a bad verbal recommendation from the fat manager who was not a RN.
The result? I quit nursing and cheered as one thing I don't do is play with mean girls or take BS from anyone. I was mainly supplementing our income for our college kids and they were done.
Loud cheers as I patched outta there for the last time in my gold sports car.

I don't know if that will continue, but that's almost as much as it was at it's highest during the Biden error. $4.50 was HIGHER than it ever got during Biden, which is a problem.

Per my son who just got a new job after a layoff, software engineer, he said it is due to the bog down of companies trying to screen fake AI resumes.
His BIL works for a big company in FL. Said he's requested certain software engineers for over 47 days. The employers are frustrated as well.
If she has a friend in another company to make a recommendation it will help her jump hurdles. After my son was hired where he starts Monday, he got a call from a large defense contractor due to a friend recommend.
There is also a way to make your resume stand out by it not being 5 pages long or somehow showing up in person. I read that recently. Not to list every detail but concise.
I hope she finds a new job soon.

Well, as a senior software engineer that's been in the field for 26 years, I can tell you that the AI "scare" is both true and not true.
I can use an AI agent to do large parts of my job that would normally charge as an hour of labor for FAR cheaper. That's terrifying in a personal way because that makes a LOT of software engineer jobs obsolete or unnecessary. You need an AI manager instead of a developer.
BUT you also need to have the knowledge to know wtf the thing is producing and say "no" when it goes off the rails.
AI is going to demolish junior developer roles, and a lot of senior roles are going to go away. Period. There's a TON of software devs, a lot of it due to the "learn to code" mantra. A lot of those people are going to end up out of work.

The problem is that in a couple of years, all those roles being removed and no junior devs to gain the senior level of experience they need to manage the AIs is going to backfire.

So said my econ class 30+ years ago, but I'm not sure it's entirely applicable anymore and should be revised upward to about 7%
Sounds weird? Consider the percentage of absolutely useless people who've managed to steal air for the entirety of their lives. Pretty close to 4% already, no?
If you want marginally useful people, it'll be like finding a needle in a haystack below 5.5%

I strongly suspect that most of the AI firings is a combination of AI costs exploding, requiring quick monetary fixes, and over-hiring after COVID.
Plus, tech was probably over-employed in general, thinking of Musk firing so many engineers from Twitter and X largely not changing.

I can believe that. Last fall, my department hired a new person and we had to screen over 70 applicants for one position. It sucked.
Nearly ALL of the resumes were written by AI. Full of industry buzzwords, but lacking in details or specific achievements.
On the plus side, relatively few of them were written by foreign applicants who were looking to get a foot in the door before moving on in six months.

Eyewitness said Anthony told Metcalf (the vixtim), "Touch me and find out."
To justify using deadly force, the jury would have to believe that Anthony had "a reasonable fear for his life." I can't see a jury (esp THIS jury) buying into that.
Otoh, I don't see premeditated murder here-- 1st degree murder requires premeditation.

Myself personally I am doing well with zero financial stress.
We graduate 2 million kids from high school and college each year. They need 2,000,000 new jobs a year. Plumber openings per year? 50,000
Dont try to say it is because 1000 college students graduate each year with a major in gender studies(most who major in gender studies have double majors of premed or psychology) and that is why there are no good jobs and college grads are working at Starbucks.

Foreign NIH Scientists Charged With Smuggling Monkeypox Into US, and Then Lying About It
So many Straight-Arrow Straight Shooters in the federal bureaucracy.
Two researchers with the National Institutes of Health have been charged with allegedly trying to smuggle the infectious monkeypox virus into the United States, according to the Department of Justice. In a news release issued Tuesday, the department announced Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe with the NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratory had been charged with "conspiracy to smuggle" the virus, as well as giving false statements to federal law enforcement in January. The department says Munster and Kwe arrived at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, with "a large black plastic case" after traveling from Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, where an outbreak of monkeypox was occurring. Monkeypox, also known as Mpox, is a viral illness that is spread through close contact, with symptoms that include fevers, headaches and a rash that looks like blisters or sores, according to the World Health Organization. "Munster and Kwe falsely told CBP officers that the black case contained diagnostics and testing equipment," the DOJ said. "But subsequent investigation by CBP and FBI agents revealed that the case actually contained 113 vials in Styrofoam coolers." ... Munster and Kwe were arrested and now face a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted.The article "forgets" to mention they're both foreigners, one Dutch, the other from Cameroon.

Another thing (and this is important). The Congo has one of the most comprehensive and solid airport security programs on the planet. You can't even take photos in the airport. That might surprise you. But, it's true. That black case with the samples would have been scrutinized by at least 3 different agencies. Their credentials would have had to pass through at least three checkpoints. My guess is that Congo reps called US Customs and had the FBI waiting for these two clowns when they arrived in the US. Or worse, the US State Department greased the way for these two to leave The Congo without the usual scrutiny.

The article says deactivated virus. But it also says they haven't analyzed most of the vials. And that this happened in January. Was this just the situation in January, or did they never test the other vials?
Also, did they do this to streamline research for selfish personal reasons, or for some larger, darker purpose? The product of research is generally a publication. How would they describe the origin of their samples in the "Materials and Methods" section?

The first morning they wake up to in prison they feel a bit groggy. They try to open their eyes but the light is very bright. They go to scratch their face and realize they are tied down. Tied down to a gurney. Very securely. He can't move.
Finally they can make out a face but the face is covered with a surgical mask. There are others also wearing masks and gowns.
One mask says "He's awake now. We can start".
The sees a very large syringe being handed to the man standing over him.
The faint sound of screaming is coming from somewhere.... it's not human. It's monkeys in a cage that's being brought into a room.
One mask says to another, "Were going to have to turn him over"

But he is a bit of an enigma to them- J does what J wants to do, and doesn’t do what he doesn’t want to do. You are not going to find him trekking to my parent’s house for holidays, but he would bring them here or rent a big house on an island somewhere for everybody in a heartbeat. Or he would send me solo. J is used to being in charge, my dad is also used to having that role. 😂

Well, they (correctly) described it as 'soft' catch-and-kill. 'Real' catch-and-kill involves an outlet such as the National Enquirer, whose standards & practices allow paying for exclusives, getting a formal agreement from sources to not tell anyone else (and then just sitting on the story). IIRC, Harvey Weinstein was big on using NE as a cutout for hush money in precisely that manner.

If a former CIA agent’s report is accurate, Iran may find itself making a decision the U.S. was faced with making in 1945. The agent, Larry Johnson, revealed that Pakistan’s Foreign Minister personally delivered a disturbing, secret message to Secretary of State Mark Rubio claiming that Iran does possess a nuclear weapon. He also reports Tehran intends to demonstrate soon this capability to the world community. The immediate question obviously is just how Iran intends to demonstrate it?

A beaver has been spotted swimming near Gansevoort Peninsula, marking the first recorded sighting of the animal in the park’s 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary. Though rare in New York City, beavers are native to the region’s waterways.

But we also got a lot of lab test containers. Think your animal has anthrax? Well just ship their bio over ups to a test lab. The instant that sample has detected anthrax, of course it's a no-no to ship. But on the way from ranch to lab? Sure! Got those all the time.

Catch and Kill: The New York Times Had Two Witnesses Prepared to Accuse Graham Platner of Sexual Assault but Didn't Publish Their Stories
So there's the answer: Yes, there were "multiple women" accusing the Nazi of rape, but the New York Times ran a catch-and-kill operation to suppress their stories, while only reporting on less serious charges. (Though still serious enough.)
In newspaper parlance, "catch and kill" is a technique for "getting" a story with the intent to suppress it.For over a week, Washington, D.C., was abuzz with rumors of a big story coming from the New York Times about Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner -- himself once a fixture for many young political staffers in the capital while serving as a bartender at the Tune Inn. Although you likely won't read about it on social media, the Times story mentions serious allegations against Platner: that he physically abused an ex-girlfriend -- including grabbing her shoulders so hard that he left bruises and twisting her arm behind her back, shoving her into a room, and locking her in there overnight. Another ex-girlfriend shared that she cut off contact with Platner after a drunken episode that was apparently too disturbing to retell. But these allegations are buried under mountains of campaign flack bullshit and then packaged as "intimidating" and "unsettling." Normal people have another phrase for it: domestic abuse. That characterization is by design. Let me be clear: the New York Times story was not journalism. It was a a soft catch-and-kill operation. It was a favor to Platner's campaign, a disservice to readers, and an insult to the women who say they were hurt by him. ... The term 'catch and kill' refers to a shady practice where a public relations firm or consultant works with a friendly news outlet that was pitched or 'stumbled' upon a negative story about a client to effectively 'catch' and then 'kill' the story -- or delay it until it no longer has impact. ... The Times's supposed vaunted exposé on Platner buries its lede 22-paragraphs in to the piece. By the time readers got to the allegations that should have opened the article, they had already been marched through campaign spin, euphemistic mush, and ex-girlfriend character witness. In fact, for the first third of the New York Times expose, they focused on women provided to the newspaper by the Platner campaign -- who, of course, sang the degenerate former bartender's praises. And frankly, that is all many readers will come away with, because that is about as far as their attention span lets them get into the narrative. Which is, again, the point. Prior to publication, I'm told that the Times spoke to two women who had credibly accused Platner of sexual assault. This detail was revealed to Fifield -- likely in an effort to encourage her to divulge more of her story. Those women's allegations never made it into the story. They were effectively 'killed' by the Times's editors and by Platner's attorneys, I'm told. ... The goal was to create enough doubt and ambiguity regarding Platner's disgusting behavior to let my friend, Lyndsey Fifield, be smeared by Democrat Party operatives like Emma Vigeland and partisan media hacks like Krystal Ball. And that's exactly what they did.Lyndsey Fifield writes that the NYT duped and used her to cover up for Maine Kampf:
Here's the post where she reveals that she provided the names of people who would confirm her account -- but the New York Times lied and claimed there was no one to confirm her account:
Lyndsey Fifield
@lyndseyfifield Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn't clean or easy. I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the "cool girl" or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham. I also know how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist -- so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out, though I would also immediately shut down any attempts on his part to initiate flirting or romanticizing of the past. Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo -- and I was terrified he would find out it was me. But of course he knew it was me. What's ironic is I absolutely never would have shared my story if he hadn't been relentlessly attacking my character behind the scenes for months once the tattoo story came out. I tried to signal that I wasn't the source and stayed completely silent about him on social media even as most of my friends posted regularly about what a bad person he is. But then in early April the New York Times came to me. I asked how they got my number. I said I was not interested in sharing my story. They said but wait--there are other women. Women terrified to tell their stories, too, and you need to band together. WE will help you. We will protect you. Men can't keep getting away with this. Hours before their first call to me I saw Eric Swalwell's name plate get removed from his office door in Cannon. It felt like fate. I welcomed the two journalists into my home days later, nervous and overwhelmed. Justin Fairfax had just murdered his wife and himself the previous day and even conservative pundits were conjecturing that "if only those women hadn't accused him of abuse, this never would have happened..." But I told them my story. I let them take pictures of my diary pages. I sent them screenshots of messages and gave them phone numbers and contacts. It was excruciating. I was surprised by what details I remembered, and as I poured through old messages I was horrified by how much I had forgotten. I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time--I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that's fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough. They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn't feel so alone. I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their (sadly very accurate) sense that something was wrong. One of the victims and I realized our relationships with Graham overlapped completely - he had been cheating on both of us the entire time we were together....
Lyndsey Fifield
@lyndseyfifield I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists. As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them. But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed. After the story went up I began to ask them ... wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham's by far)? Why does it say "nobody could corroborate" when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate? Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking "do not call Graham" after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never). Where were the screenshots they'd said they would use? Or the mention that I'd supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal? The editors said it was too much, they explained. The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive -- long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so. It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life. And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it. Still fawning after all these years.
NEW from @dailycaller on the NYT's catch and kill operation:
— Amber Duke (@ambermarieduke) June 4, 2026
- A source tells @wupton that the NYT had two women prepared to make sexual assault allegations against Platner.
- Those details were revealed to Fifield, presumably to make her feel more comfortable coming forward… pic.twitter.com/buC8wN5u0i
It is rather obvious that NYT story was more of a cover up for Platner than an attempt to reveal the truth.
— AG (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2026
They essentially made the women in the story targets by intentionally withholding so much. I hope other women seriously take note to never trust the reporters or editors… https://t.co/Xxc9uiNqFY

This is establishment Democrats trying to get ahead of what they may or may not know about (though they do know there's something) to either blunt the impact against Platner or convince him to drop out on his own. I strongly suspect they know he's not going to drop out no matter what.
All of this so far has been Democrats trying to derail him or push him out. Collins hasn't started sniping yet.

Posted by: Ian S. at June 05, 2026 12:17 PM (QZThv)
It would not get out from then. All the other media outlets then would follow their lead and any actual reporting of it could then be attacked by the times and those same outlets as 'unsubstantiated Reich wing talking points.' They poisoned the well.

Luckily, I've never been interviewed by a journalist for a story. But from what I understand, even if you watch them write down what you say and check it for accuracy, it'll almost certainly end up being published wrong. It's as if journalists are specifically taught by Colombia School of Journalism to get all the facts wrong in a story.

Narcissists are especially adept at convincing you how sorry they are, how upset they are this happened, and then rewriting history where it didn’t happen the way you thought it did, are you crazy? And before you know it, it becomes much safer to stay than it is to leave. They charm the pants off everyone around you so if you start to leave, they have gotten their flying monkeys in order to support them, and demonize you. Plus they threaten to end you if you do leave them, and they have proven already they are capable of it. It has nothing to do with loving a toxic relationship, no one loves that.

Media outlets in Maine are owned by the non-profit, NATIONAL TRUST FOR LOCAL NEWS. You can pull up their website and see their staff. But, I can tell you already which way they lean. And, I can tell you that their reporting staff is limited, which requires them to refer to other news organizations to suplement their original reporting.
Guess who they refer to more than not.....it's not hard to figure out. Here's a byline from the Portland Herald: "Platner’s ex tells New York Times about Nazi tattoo, ‘toxic’ relationship".
See what they do? They, basically, paraphrase the NY Times, and this is their most recent story on Platner.

Chicks are way more retarded about the honeypot. It's crazy.

It's a known thing in movies that if you see something happen on screen, people assume it's true within the context of the film. This can be manipulated by filmmakers by showing things that aren't true within the context of the film like that and then pulling the rug out later.
So, yeah, the visual medium aspect is probably a big part of latching onto talking heads and assuming they're true. Cronkite said so. I know Cronkite. He's a nice man. I invite him into my living room every evening, and he always tells me the truth.

The story of Platner is just another entry in the "Democrat elites have lost control of their party."
They've been trying to push Platner out for months. That's why Schumer recruited Mills, sitting governor, to run. Her status as governor was supposed to just easily launch her over Platner and make Platner a non-issue.
But Mills is boring and a million years old and had to stop campaigning because she ran out of money.
We are in the final stage of denial from the Democrat establishment regarding Platner. We'll get to acceptance after Tuesday when he easily wins. We'll get some "he might drop out" here and there which will finally die out in mid-July, but the effort against him institutionally will be completely dead.
Then it's just outright defense and attack on Collins, mostly an excuse to fundraise, though.

I think the party did turn on this vile creep and tried to get him out. That's why Schumer recruited the old maid governor to run for senate. Schumer is many vile and reprehensible things, but stupid he is not.
That's also why all the big-name Democrap pols have been at best non-comital about him.
The problem is the Dumocrap "party" has almost completely lost control of its base. The party does not want a shit-loving public dick-spanker with fantasies of raping men's assholes and a long list of abused "girlfriends." But the base? That seems to be exactly what they want.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure what Jill's attitude towards him really is. I guess they're co-conspirators in hiding Joe's decline and the grand attempt to keep him in office, but now that it's over, do they give each other the time of day? Did they ever like each other the way ValJar and the Obamas seem to?

226 Maybe the play is, in the past Hunter was paid for access to his father. Now he'll be paid to go away. Maybe he'll put out a bland unreadable book that inexplicably sells 500,000 copies.

The problem is the Dumocrap "party" has almost completely lost control of its base. The party does not want a shit-loving public dick-spanker with fantasies of raping men's assholes and a long list of abused "girlfriends." But the base? That seems to be exactly what they want. Or at least the vocal, activist base that actually votes in primaries.

They got within 10 of taking out Collins in the least honest election in American history. So, they can run anybody and she'll lose.

The general playbook they run in the Northeast is running vanilla Karens like Mills. Yes she too is a leftwing lunatic, but she comes across as "normal"-ish. With a little bit of fraud it works consistently.
But Platner? He's going to get people to go vote for Collins. And the rest of the R slate of candidates running

Graham Platner & Al Qaeda’s Congressman-Elect from New Jersey Are the Consequence of Democrats Failing the “David Duke Test” with Mamdani
Hamawy actually testified as a character witness for the Blind Sheik in the trial following the first World Trade Center bombing in 1995.
As I wrote in that Blaze piece titled “Democrats face their ‘David Duke moment’ in New York City”:
In Louisiana’s 1991 “jungle primary,” the two top vote-getters were: Edwin Edwards, a former Democratic governor who had been charged with bribery and later convicted of extortion and money laundering; and David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, who ran as a Republican. Duke received only 32% of the vote, but that was enough to advance to the runoff. Although he had run for office several times in the 1980s as a Democrat, Duke ran as a Republican in 1991 — and won the Republican candidacy. Faced with an impossible choice of backing an unrepentant white supremacist on their party’s ticket, Republicans rallied around Edwards, launching a campaign under the nose-holding slogan: “Vote for the crook — it’s important.” And it worked. The crook Edwards defeated Duke, 61% to 39%.Democrats are doing just the opposite of how Republicans handled the David Duke problem. Democrats won’t even renounce a candidate who supports terrorism against the United States, nor one with the Totenkopf tattoo used by guards at Nazi death camps. With Democrats rapidly sliding down the most odious of slippery slopes, it does not seem far-fetched for them to soon embrace Sharia law, pogroms, and other once unthinkable “solutions.” It was bad enough when Elizabeth Warren endorsed Graham Planter in March, gushing that he’d ”flip Maine and then actually deliver change for working people.” But after even more awful revelations about Platner, Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer met with the Nazi-loving Democrat and proudly announced that he still supports Platner. The most polite term I can think of to describe Schumer’s action is to call him a kapo. I have Jewish friends who use much harsher language. There’s more...
Chris Rabb just won the Democrat nomination for a congressional seat in Philadelphia. With no Republican opponent, this anti-semitic “Democrat Socialist of America” will be representing the Democrats in Congress. Rabb has never criticized the Palestinian mass-murder of Jews on October 6, but he refers to the Israeli response as a “genocide.” In response to the Hannukah mass murder of Jews at Australia’s Bondi Beach, Mr. Rabb shared a post on Instagram alleging that the massacre was a “Zionist false flag.” Not a single Democrat member of Congress will condemn Mr. Rabb or declare his unfitness to be a part of their caucus.
And there are still more of these types likely heading to Congress after next November’s election. Darializa Avila Chevalier is running for a congressional seat in New York City. She is endorsed by Mamdani and her positions include eliminating police, eliminating national borders, eliminating free enterprise, and, of course, working to eliminate the state of Israel. She doesn’t specifically articulate an endorsement for the murder of Jews, she just plans to celebrate when Israel and its Jewish inhabitants “suddenly disappear.”If Democrats had not failed the “David Duke test” with Mamdani, perhaps these elections would have turned out differently. Or maybe not. But the Democrats now have no moral authority to prevent their Al-Qaeda wing from asserting its agenda and taking on leadership roles. It’s also fair to ask at this point if there are any Islamo-terrorist positions that Democrats could not tolerate among their members. They already have caucus members who embrace the murder of Jews in Israel and abroad. The only place they aren’t advocating for it is in the United States, at least so far. Amidst all this Jew-hatred, it must also be understood that the Democrats’ new base hates straight, white Christians just as passionately. We’re not safe from where this is headed. Mamdani, Platner and the others are now everyone’s problem, because they are now the base of the Democrat party, which is rapidly becoming America’s Islamist party. Shame on the Democrats for not stopping this problem before it was too late.
I’ve also noticed a growing number of vehicles throughout the greater metro area that I would compassionately call “Reverse Okies.” They have license plates from places like California, Washington, Oregon, and New York on their weathered vehicles. A demographic observation of the drivers indicates that they are the “deplorables” or “bitter clingers” that are so despised by prominent Democrats. While we in Tennessee are justifiably worried about our culture being upended by woke Californians, the couple from Modesto in a 12-year old Chrysler minivan, and seeking a new start for their family, is not going to be sending a cross-dressing child to school. States like Tennessee are clearly a land of hope and opportunity for regular Americans beaten down by blue-state governance.
This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

There's a bit of a "Hillary's emails" flavor to the NYT reporting on this. Like a dog with a bone that just can't stop, won't stop. I'm sure there's basis to this stuff, but wasn't the woman with the worst allegations a republican operative?
some of y’all are stanning too hard and making excuses for his behavior. I’m a guy, and I took the MeToo moment seriously. I tend to believe the women, and I tend to believe the NYT. It’s okay to grit your teeth and vote for Platner, but don’t act like a fucking Trump supporter and blame the women or the NYT

Collins VOTED TO IMPEACH AND REMOVE TRUMP.
I don't get the left. They're convincing people that they want to make it de facto illegal to even BE a Republican.
Have they considered what happens when we eventually believe them?

In 1988 Louisianans had bumper stickers that read, “Vote for the crook. It’s the right thing to do.” And it never occurred to anyone that Duke had won the Republican nomination for Governor because the Democrat Machine supported him in their open primary.
And that ridiculous bumper sticker completely revealed their deliberate strategy in getting the enormously unpopular Edwin Edwards reelected.

The squalid "Squad" of anti-American and anti-Jewish congresswhores -- including outright Hamas skank Rashida Tlaib -- have been in Congress for years. Long before anyone became obsessed with every stupid utterance from Bombdaddy.
The DD moment wasn't really a moment at all, but a progression over the last 50 years. Commie after commie. America-hater after America-hater. There was a stone-cold, outright proud communist in the NYC mayor's office before Bombdaddy. There was outright Jew-hater David Dinkins before him.
This has been building for a long time. I'm not sure why so many people only now seem to get it.

Which side ordered the closure of private businesses, public schools and pushed elderly Covid patients into nursing homes resulting in millions of unnecessary deaths?
Which side is calling for the prosecution, incarceration or even death of their political opponents?

He's been residing in an undisclosed location under house arrest with a leg monitor since being released on a $250,000 bond.
Lesser or Reduced Murder Charges or Manslaughter - the sentence is 2 to 20 years in prison. Criminally Negligent Homicide (a state jail felony), punishable by 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility.
House arrest for a year - where you know he's been an angel - and then maybe he gets the minimum. (He was just a child & it just happened!)

It's impossible to tell how this will go, because so much has not been made public or is based on inconsistent reports. For example, it's reported that he stabbed the kid in the back. If that's true, then he is toast. But nobody knows if it's true. There's also apparently a video of the murder, but nobody outside a few insiders have seen it.

Honestly, I always am amused by the "drink one bottle 2 hours before" and "drink 1/2 bottle 30 minutes before", b/c they don't say how long that should take. Finish 2 hours before, start 2 hours before, drink in 60 seconds? And then, you're leaving at 30 minutes to be 15 minutes early to your appointment, so how the heck do you down 1/2 bottle if you follow those instructions?
I now start 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 hours before b/c it takes me an hour to drink the 1st bottle. Then I just move to the 2nd bottle, b/c it takes me til 30 minutes before to get half down...and then they make you drink more at the appointment (which is rough, b/c I can't ice it then, but I do bring the straw)...

Faced with an impossible choice of backing an unrepentant white supremacist on their party’s ticket, Republicans rallied around Edwards, launching a campaign under the nose-holding slogan: “Vote for the crook — it’s important.” And it worked. The crook Edwards defeated Duke, 61% to 39%.

If you can't stomach the GOPe douchecanoe, write in Bugs Bunny or vote for the fringiest of fringe candidates who hasn't a chance in hell of being elected. Or as I prefer to call it "The Camille Paglia Paradigm". She spends the whole campaign season praising the GOP candidate as a reasonable person of character, while shitting all over whatever Donk cocksucker The Party has put onto the ballot. Then when it comes time to actually vote, she pulls the lever for some fringe Green Party asshole, because everyone knows that Republicans have cooties.

I think I will disagree with that. I think they are losing numbers. I think in a fair count, they have gotten so toxic that in 1/3 of the big urban hellholes a GOP candidate would win the mayor race. The number of 20% percentages they have on a 80/20 basis is mindboggling to think they are actually gaining numbers. They've cheated so much they don't even know how far out in left field they are.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic condition that largely afflicts African-Americans. It gets its name from the shape of red blood cells into a curved configuration resembling a harvesting sickle during low oxygen conditions. When this happens, the blood cells can cause blockages in capillaries resulting in tissue necrosis of organs. This is a sickle cell "crisis". In the patois of southern Louisiana I have heard patients refer to it as "sick as hell anemia" and mention "blood clogs" as part of the disease.

Life in the USSR right after WWII must have been...interesting.
Western Europe reacted to the death toll on its men by embracing the idea of having a mistress - the Soviets lost a much higher percentage of their male population so presumably they adopted the same solution (reading histories of commie leaders they generally had mistresses just like their western counterparts)

Genghis got together a rescue operation but it took a year or so and when he did get her back she was pregnant.
He raised that son as his own though the son's loyalty was always weak because everyone, including him, knew biologically he wasn't.
Note he didn't adopt Borte's son, he just pretend the boy was biologically his.

An important George Floyd anniversary!!
Eric S. Raymond
@esrtweet
Today is Fracture Day - the fifth anniversary of the final fracture.
On June 5th 2020, over a thousand public health experts published an open letter giving sanction for Black Lives Matter, a Marxist terrorist organization, to ignore COVID lockdown restrictions and riot in the streets, looting and burning down our cities, because "racism is a public-health issue".
And nobody in the rest of the establishment pushed back.

AI in Canada lost before it even got started.
They literally are trying to get AI to give a Land acknowledgement before any session.
Here are 6 statements that show how Canada already blew AI like we all knew it would.
1. “The Government of Canada commits to applying Gender-Based Analysis Plus in a meaningful way across policy design, skills development, innovation, and governance to ensure that AI reflects our values, protects those most impacted, and leads to outcomes that are safe, inclusive, and beneficial for all Canadians.”
2. “Canadian AI must support, reflect, and project Canadian culture, which includes our customs, our history, and our heritage. Canadian voices, languages, communities, and knowledge must also be represented in how AI systems are designed, built, and used.”
3. “support Indigenous self-determination over how AI is built and used in Indigenous contexts, and build domestic capacity to address the specific harms Indigenous Peoples face.”
Time to get back to AI while it's still useful up here.

Officers responded to a report of "unknown trouble" after a caller dialled 911 and told police: "I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin."

Sec. 9.31. SELF-DEFENSE. (a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force. The actor's belief that the force was immediately necessary as described by this subsection is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:
(e) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the force is used is not required to retreat before using force as described by this section.

>>Pratt was probably not going to win vs Bass. But Dems take no chances when it comes to “fortifying” elections.
In a fair election he may have.
The only thing to watch is if they are intent on conjuring enough ballots to put Bass over 50pct so there is no contest in November, or give enough to Raman so Pratt falls to 3rd and is iced out.
Either way, Pratt's done and should probably get out of the state as quickly as possible.

Jules Breton
The Art Institute of Chicago
April 14, 2025
Did you know that Jules Breton’s "Song of the Lark" was deemed the most popular painting in America in a poll conducted in 1934?
In this evocative work, a young peasant woman stands silently in the flat fields of the artist’s native Normandy as the sun rises, listening to the song of a distant lark.
Not only was the painting popular with the public, but it was also Eleanor Roosevelt’s favorite work of art.
On view in Gallery 222.

The election is not over so there is no injured party, there isn't a formal complaint or request by the Cali GOP or Pratt, so there's not much the FBI can do really.
At the end of the day, Cali Dems have a 2:1 voter registration advantage over Republicans, so they have all of the means to conjure votes.
The Bottom Line is Democrats want to be governed by Democrats and not Republicans.
It's really as simple as that.

In reality the people moving out of Cali are on average the middle class who have been priced out. That Uhaul statistic proves that point. Wealthy people don’t rent uhauls to move. San Francisco is minting more millionaires than ever before. Once OpenAI and Anthropic go public there will be thousands of new millionaires overnight.
The state is turning into Brazil with the very rich and very poor. But the very rich aren’t leaving.

Collins actually fascinates me right now, but only tangentially.
Consider: She joined with Democrats and voted to convict President Trump at his impeachment. Today, Platner and the Dems say she is a Nazi fascist Trump MAGA lickspittle.
If even a Republican who opposed against Trump in the most consequential vote of his presidency is a Nazi fascist, then EVERY Republican is a Nazi fascist and there can be no reconciliation. None.
If they can't stomach even Susan Collins, preferring an ACTUAL Nazi, then there's nothing more to discuss with them. Ever. About anything. The time for talking is over.

Thune could force his caucus into line.
It's easy enough. "Do as your told or else I'll strip you of committee assignments, kill every bill you sponsor, cut off your NRSC funds, back your primary opponent, and leak some of your many crimes to the media and Trump's DoJ."
Even half of that threat would work on most GOP Senators. They have no spines.

I haven't read it in ages, but Willa Cather's book "Song of the Lark" is named for this painting. The description of the main character seeing this painting in the museum, and her reaction and artistic awakening due to the painting, is gorgeous. Written as only Willa can. From wiki:
"The Song of the Lark is a novel by American author Willa Cather, written in 1915. It ... tells the story of a talented artist born in a small town in Colorado who discovers and develops her singing voice. Her story is told against the backdrop of the burgeoning American West in which she was born in a town along the rail line, of fast-growing Chicago near the turn of the twentieth century, and of the audience for singers of her skills in the US compared to Europe. Thea Kronborg grows up, learning herself, her strengths and her talent, until she reaches success.
The title and first edition cover art comes from an 1884 painting of the same name by Jules Breton, part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago."

The Morning Report — 6/ 5 /26
Good morning kids. Let us once again compare and contrast.
While raising an LGBT pride flag over the state capitol building, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said he plans to defy a Supreme Court ruling on so-called “conversion therapy.” On Monday, the Democrat governor shared his support for protecting “trans kids” and, in particular, keeping on the books a regulation that effectively bans counselors from assisting gender-confused and same-sex attracted kids.With that as the shot (Gaaoline), get ready for the chaser (a lit match)
divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Monday that the Pentagon’s policy barring individuals with gender dysphoria from military service likely violates the Constitution. In Talbott v. United States, the majority found the policy -- issued under President Trump’s executive order and implemented by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth -- appears driven by “the bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group.” The court upheld a preliminary injunction protecting current transgender servicemembers from removal while allowing the ban on new accessions. This is not constitutional adjudication. It is judicial legislation dressed in equal-protection robes, and it represents another dangerous step by federal courts outside the bounds of their authority and into the core constitutional domain of the political branches.
So Evers and the Democrats can go tell SCOTUS to go "F" itself because reasons. But in the second story, a circuit court literally violates the separation of powers and usurps the power of the President as the Commander-in-Chief to direct the military as he sees fit. As we all know this is just the latest illegal usurpation of the President's authority by the judiciary over the past few years which sadly has gone unanswered, except for the President's admirable but ridiculous strategy of relying on the very same corrupt courts to seek redress. Well, sauce for the goose President Trump, tell this court to go to hell and unlike Evers, Trump would have the Constitution and nearly 200 years of unambiguous precedent on his side. Reining in a feral judiciary in this case is the right thing to do. Of course lest we forget the Democrats' plot to totally subsume the judiciary so that miracles like the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v Wade as well as the most recent torpedo or at least shot across their bow Callais, can never happen again and thus maintain the Democrat stranglehold on power and crusade to destroy America as founded.
In the name of “norms” and “democracy,” radical Democrats are renewing calls to pack the U.S. Supreme Court should they regain control of the federal government. The wave of alarming threats came about after the high court handed down a ruling in Louisiana v. Callais on Wednesday that nuked states’ ability to use race in the redistricting process. As The Federalist reported, the decision effectively gives states leeway “to eliminate majority-minority districts that were carved out under past interpretations of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — interpretations that benefited Democrats.” . . . “The Supreme Court is a disgrace. And then, in the new Congress, we’re gonna have to do something about the Supreme Court,” Jeffries said. “And let me be very clear: Everything is on the table — everything — to deal with this corrupt MAGA majority that is issuing political opinions that are designed to bolster the prospects of the Republican Party. And we will not allow them to succeed.” The far-left Demand Justice issued a similar veiled threat in apparent support of such efforts. President Josh Orton — who boasts a background in Democrat Party activism — issued a statement following Callais‘ release, in which he smeared the Supreme Court for its decision and said it “must face fundamental reform if it is to once again serve our democracy.”Pack the court with more commie rubber stamps like the America-hating dim bulb nebbish Brown-25 Jackson. And should future GOP presidents get to nominate and actually seat anyone even remotely like Clarence Thomas, the Left can always call on assassins to hunt them down like they did Brett Kavanaugh a few years back and most recently Amy Coney-Barrett. And the President himself multiple times. Of course the political danger is that if President Trump were to ignore illegal court usurpations, it would just allow future Democrat Presidents GOD-FOBID to do the same thing. Well at that point we really would no longer have a country. And all things considered, given the attitudes and actions of the Democrat/Left America as founded and our society may already be gone, even as we approach our 250th birthday.

But isolating a child from their parents and pushing them to say they were born in the wrong gender is the good kind of conversion therapy.
Meanwhile, I wrote a company that I do business with and asked them a simple question: If companies can stop marketing mailings for Father's Day and Mother's Day because it's a sensitive topic for some people, can they do the same for Pride Month?

9/11 should be a day that 'lives in infamy' and be a time to highlight, condemn and push back against Islam. Instead, it's just a day to put a limp flag on a grave, mutter 'some people did something' and then waddle off to Wal-Mart.

June 3, 2026 marked the official retirement of the AV-8B Harrier II+ from USMC service. There was a three-day retirement ceremony at VMA-223's base that saw four AV-8Bs and one TAV-8B do fly-bys.
In the following months the planes will be flown to museums or to desert storage. Then in September VMA-223 will be disestablished prior to conversion to the F-35 and probably becoming VMF-223.

Left-wing crisis actors are planning to hijack America’s 250th birthday by turning it into a celebration of Marxist ideology.
Leftists Hate America So Much They’re Turning Her 250th Birthday Into A Celebration Of Marxism
It’s a good year to take stock of American greatness.
Separating the Americans from the America-Haters
As the lovely and intelligent Mrs naturalfake said yesterday after reading the news.
If you hate where you live, if you hate America, go live somewhere where your happy.
There are lots of other countries you can live in. Why live somewhere where you hate the people and hate the country.
Go live where you'll be happy and we'll be happy your gone.

If we couldn't get that act passed with control of both houses and an 80%+ support by the American people passed now, it's not going to happen. It already should've have been one of the easiest things to accomplish, bar none. Yet nearly every one of those good-for-nothing POS's in Congress decided our priorities are not theirs. This was the prime time. I'd say they failed spectacularly, but they wanted it to fail. We won't have a better opportunity than we've already had. They don't care.

I find it hysterical the big thing in that WS was Texas Tech and the NIL deals they reached last season.
Canaday is the first $1m softball player. Sure. She's #1 overall.
Tech has one more player in the top 100 in NIL money. OU is the overwhelming #1 as a team. Texas is top 10. But we need to worry about Tech and how their coach plays within the rules and gets to the finals in back to back years. Texas goes 4 years straight and it's 'everything is fine.'
The NCAA and it's media shills are dogshit.

Tillis and McConnell are gone next year. Murkowski won't get huge amounts of Senate fund money like before. Collins is always going to be who she is - but right now you cannot get anything better in Maine - and if a D does get in, they won't be dislodged for years.

If you can do exponents - you can do logs.
Log base X (Y) = Z is just a different way of writing
X ^ Z = Y. And if you see Log with no base - the base is 10. So Log(100)=2. Because 10^2=100.
Like most things - most teachers make it harder than it is.

They're useful for a few things. Stuff that normally follow exponential growth or decay ... like RL and RC filters (electronics) are much easier to graph as a log - because instead of drawing curves you draw nice neat lines.

That video has now been played in open court.
And many of those supporters are about to get a harsh reality check.
The footage barely shows anything. It does not show Karmelo being attacked. It does not clearly depict the events that so many people have confidently claimed it does.
For an entire year, supporters repeated a narrative based largely on descriptions provided by the family’s advocate, Tiffney Billions.
Now the jury and the public have seen the actual footage for themselves.
According to Mary Ann from the Daily Mail, the video was heavily zoomed in, making it extremely grainy. The faces of the individuals involved are not visible. At most, the footage appears to show one person pushing another person under the tent.
The video also shows that Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf were under the tent together for approximately four minutes before the stabbing occurred.
In short, the security footage does not provide the clear visual proof of self-defense that Karm

I mean, they have redefined "Nazi" to mean white, Christian American, and clearly, Platner is not one of them -- so he's still their guy. "Nazi" has been divorced enough from Hitler's genocide of the Jews that it would never occur to them that their beloved Palestinian activists (and allies) have just as much hatred of the Jews as Hitler. Oh no! Trump (and Bush and Reagan) were Hitler, not Mahmoud Abbas!

Monsignor Stephen J.

When I finished casting my ballot in the LA mayoral primary on Tuesday, the Dominion machine asked whether I wanted to review my ballot in case I had changed my mind about any of the candidates.
I selected—Yes.
Guess who came up first? Spencer Pratt.
The machine asked if I had changed my mind, and I selected—No.
Then guess what?
It didn’t even bother asking me about the other candidates or ballot measures. It simply said, “Your ballot is complete.”

Yeah logarithms are used a lot to provide a translation from the non linear to linear. Mostly by turning A*B into the form of A+B. And in this case making the nonlinearity of a space-time domain into a nice linear frequency-amplitude domain using laplace transforms. Fun stuff.

Further, Guatemala and Columbia were NEVER on TPS by the US. But, yes, there are so many Guatemalans taken in by Welcoming cities and then pushed into the urbanized suburbs, we'll probably never figure out how many there are but for their kids in the public school systems.
Lastly, 300 shelters in 27 states, hundreds of thousand of unaccompanied kids & that's a good way to grant them a pathway to citizenship and their extended families access into the US?

Alaska has a fascinating political history, largely ignored outside the state, I guess.
An example:
In July 2008, Stevens was indicted on charges of making false statements on Senate financial disclosure forms regarding about $250,000 in free home renovations and other gifts received from an oil-services executive.
He was found guilty on all seven counts on October 27, 2008, just a week before narrowly losing his re-election campaign.
Before Stevens could be sentenced, a federal judge threw out the indictment and vacated the conviction. The judge declared it one of the worst cases of prosecutorial misconduct he had ever seen because government lawyers intentionally withheld exculpatory evidence.
Stevens never returned to office and passed away in a plane crash in 2010.

fox5sandiego dot com: Becerra advances in California governor's race
In part, "Becerra holds 26,03 percent of the vote as of late Thursday night, while Hilton has won 27.18 percent of the vote and Steyer is in third place with 20.18 percent of the vote.
Becerra appears to be doing well among mail-in voters across the Golden State's 58 counties and is expected to pass Hilton at the current vote-count pace, according to Decision Desk HQ."
"If elected governor, Becerra would be the first Latino governor since Jose Antonio Romualdo Pacheco, who served from February to December 1875.
Becerra also received a boost in support after former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) dropped out of the race following multiple sexual assault and misconduct allegations against him."

Daily Tech News 5 June 2026
Top Story
- AI token costs are becoming a meme. Here's why that's a good thing. (Tom's Hardware)
It's not. I mean, not unless for the AI companies, and not for anyone else unless it pops the bubble, and not even then as trillions of dollars of virtual money suddenly disappearing would cause a certain amount of drama.Despite that, Altman projects that AI token usage will continue to increase. He said that six-and-a-half years ago, the top token spender at the startup used 100,000 tokens a month - today, that is the global per capita average token usage, and that OpenAI's token leader uses about 100 billion a month. The OpenAI chief also admitted, to his own embarrassment, that someone else uses even more. So, if token usage were to grow linearly, then he would expect the global per capita token usage to hit 100 billion monthly.
Somehow I don't think that will happen. At OpenAI's current rates, that would cost the average user over a million dollars a month and provide the company with a quadrillion dollars in monthly revenue.
Tech News
- Everything new is old again: DDR4 is back on the menu. (Tom's Hardware)
I'm thinking of picking up a 5800X3D because I have plenty of DDR4 and the larger cache on that chip helps hide the lower bandwidth.
In addition to production of DDR4 modules restarting, CPUs using DDR4 have resumed production - or, from Intel, never stopped - and fresh motherboards are rolling out of factories.
- There is now - or soon will be - a 12,060 piece Lego model of the Sagrada Familia. (Lego)
Available to pre-order now; shipping in November. $799.
- The UN suffered a breach that revealed the household details of 600,000 welfare recipient families. (Bleeping Computer)
In Gaza.
- Alphabet - Google's parent company - just raise $85 billion for its AI division. (Tech Crunch)
Google made $110 billion in profit last year, and it's still not self-funding its AI plans.

The home inspection came back with red flags such as badly outdated wiring (which the insurance people will hate), termite damage to the garage, and an A/C system 35 years old and near the end of its life. We're talking, I'm advised, about more than $20K of repairs. And even then I'll be, as one commenter put it, awash in sawdust and spending half my time at Home Depot. Not my speed, I'm afraid.

I don't really fully understand 'tokens' myself, since I haven't paid for or used them, nor am I pro on the other side having programmed them either. But I think they're basically a measure of how much the AI is keeping track of, so how much memory and complexity is involved. And they're able to charge for it since they keep track of it, as a factor in the algorithm design.
One implication is that it's really retarded for executives to mandate more token usage, because they think AI is the future and they want their employees using more as if that will automatically translate to more effectiveness. No, if I understand correctly, you can use fewer tokens by just taking some load off the AI's memory, by pulling out a legal pad and a pen, breaking the problem down into chunks, and using your meat brain and dead trees to giving the silicon smaller problems to solve.

I don't buy a used car without an inspection. I'm certainly not going to buy a property that costs seven to ten times as much without one.
While I've paid for the appraisal, they haven't done it yet, so I can get my money back on that.
Oh, well. Time to go back and start looking at listings again, and to stay away from hundred-year-old houses, I suppose. It's a shame; this one looked perfect for me.

Having never actually been to Terre Haute, I can't be sure. But 60K people seemed a lot better to me than the 100K+ in Evansville, and I liked the people of Evansville. The weather in IN is great right now too. (Yeah, I know, winter, but I'll be living indoors, not in a tent or on a park bench.)

It doesn't star Kratos (the protagonist of all the other games in the series, and exactly who the audience expects and wants to play as) but rather his dead wife Laufey (Faye), who has as a fighting and traveling companion, a gelatinous cube.

The two large (half dozen each) batches of ducklings at the retention pond have grown up quickly, with apparently just one late hatchling still sticking around momma, but the pair of geese with their two goslings are likely to stick around longer.

You probably can’t anymore. AI is so embedded into the methods that all major search engines produce results generated in part by AI. In most engines the direct ai results are presented at the top in natural language model text. Then it is followed by the more traditional Monte Carlo statistical math based search results. But I believe those results are probably tainted by some ai weighting as well.

I lived there twice, for 8+ years total. Only on 2 occasions did we get upwards of a foot of snow at one time. It does snow a lot but you're not looking at 6 feet at a time. Drifting can get bad, of course...
I am a Southern girl and I survived! I never made peace with the wind. And never got over the urge to shout SNOW DAY when I looked outside and saw snow. But I absolutely loved it out there.
For Wolfus, Casper & Cheyenne are both around 60,000ish and those are the largest towns in the state. I've heard the wind is worse in Casper, though. (OTOH, Cheyenne has the establishment GOP windbags)

Claude has helped me greatly but I also have had to guide it more than I should have to. For example, it kept trying to put HM-10 bluetooth module boot up settings in the setup() function which runs when the "motherboard" gets powered up. The problem with that is the HM-10 has to get powered up AFTER the motherboard so that we can keep it from going to sleep. Well, this would result in the configuration settings for the HM-10 module never getting set because by the time it powers on, we've blown through the setup() function already and are into our main loop(). Fun stuff trying to get Claude to re-engineer what it originally developed.

Token costs for some models are going up 30-50x, effectively, as companies find ways to nickkel and dime users for tokens and they keep fucking with models, forcing users to burn tokens flailing around for new workflows.
It's all going to implode, though I hold a small bit of hope for Musk's outfits to not fall straight into the bullshit that western business culture is driving most AI into.
We have had some profitable side gigs going, but it's a struggle when businesses keep changing their terms and "losing" users' accumulated tokens for various services. The whole token model is cancer.

Pretty cool lounge in the basement of a Chicago restaurant, which got the brain thinking about speakeasies, which are basically bars pretending they are not bars. Or, during COVID, a bar with the windows blacked out where you parked two blocks away and snuck in through the kitchen door. Or so I have been told.
Decent collection of modern speakeasies for your perusal.
This Cuban-style speakeasy is located in the basement of the building that previously housed a bank. Whats more, the bar pays homage to the building’s history by transforming the vault—which serves as the entrance—into a lively lounge area. Once you enter through the vault, you’ll need to provide the staff with a password, which changes daily and can be found on the bar’s social media pages. Just be sure to leave your jeans and tank tops at home: Las Floriditas has a strict dress code.Hit the comments if you have a good speakeasy story.
The Hot Topic of the Week Behold! The fouled lawnmower plug! Yes, ONT crew, yes. The content you have been demanding. The humble spark plug is basically a miniature lighting machine. Creating tiny little explosions and surviving.
This journey from simple copper electrodes to advanced multi-ground platinum-iridium designs reflects broader changes in engine technology, materials science, and performance demands. Understanding spark plug evolution reveals how seemingly small components drive major efficiency and performance improvements across all vehicles.
Wearing This Costume Does Not Enable You To Fly Warning labels? Sure. Somewhere, there is a person who inspired each of these warning labels. May we all be lucky enough to never meet them.

A bit of light reading on Cleisthenes. Widely credited as the Father of Athenian Democracy.
Under this new and radical idea, the power and responsibility of decision-making were entrusted to the hands of the Athenian citizens themselves rather than a select few. This was done in complete opposition to the norm up to that particular time, which had it that the principle of power belonged to a select “excellent” few, otherwise also referred to as aristocrats (“aristokrates”Those well read on the topic, drop some knowledge in the comments.

In my rampaging today, chronic fatigue and stress for six weeks of stuff happening to see if I crack (I don't), I forgot to mention my SIL's new puppy in MS.
She raises these pups to be lapdogs and rather neurotic ones that bark a lot (and bite). Why, living on a farm with a lake, they don't get a rescue or a lab I do not know. She wants this exotic breed who looks like a racoon to me. This was from photos of her carrying the dog in a pouch thing. Which made us all laugh as we are evil people. The puppy looked mad.
Well. The dog is now in training somewhere out of state. I guess in two weeks the 8wk old pup went loco with her and caused fights and angst. She had a trainer come out and observe the dog and agreed he was a bit much (bit part of a brick off of something).
My DIL found an 18 page manual near the dog toys and took a photo. Son and I of course laughed as the large print is the breeder advice (wacko) and the small print is SIL's.
We have not met the dog yet and hope the training is going well til the end of the month.

The prosecutor struck 3 black venireme, & those strikes survived defense Batson challenges. The trial judge ruled that the prosecutor had stated a race neutral reason for each of these strike, i.e., that all 3 of them were educators.
Historically, & supposedly stilll today, peremptory strikes are given to both sides & can be used without stating a reason.
Batson v. KY changed that, to the extent that the strikes must now be race neutral. That is the only limitation.

It's time for a million people to plan a "Pratt Vacation Weekend" in LA for the November vote. Fly or drive, register to vote without showing ID because that's the way they do it in Cali, get a ballot and mail it in. Fly or drive home.
Legality or legitimacy for a blue state election has left the building long ago. They are openly stealing elections by laughing at us who still give a damn. The Democrats would scream at it. Even more reason to do it. There are about 5.9 million registered voters in LA. Let's get Pratt 6 or 7 million votes. Out-corrupt the corruption. It would be beautiful. And fun!

It is not YouTube or Patreon anymore.
There are two lawsuits going on. American Fork PD used a SWAT unit to raid Ben in his airbnb on 'suspicion of possessing stolen Legos.' The PD also dislocated Ben's shoulder. Performed very questionable traffic stops and immediately knew who in the car was Ben.
Pricks and Minidicks gets a judge in Provo UT to issue an injunction that has two paragraphs that seem to directly attack the First Amendment. This was sent to Patreon and the CEO of Patreon told on camera Pricks and Minidicks to stuff it, to go ahead and sue.
Fox 4 in DC, media in Salt Lake City, and even in Oregon have started to cover this case.

If my 9mo old granddaughter had kidney issues from an untreated (for 2 days post urine test and culture) UTI, can a grandmother sue the pediatrician?
It is protocol for infants to have a renal ultrasound 2wks after the completion of the antibiotic in early July.
I, while brilliant, am merely a RN with a bachelor's degree in nursing... and I could see what this nitwit who teaches at the university med school did not. My DIL sent me the labs via text and I questioned her care stat. Fortunately for this MD our girl is both darling and healthy and turned the corner yesterday WHEN THE PRELIMINARY culture would have shown growth.
Rampage and enraged don't cut what I was this morning for two days wasted.
This baby had a mild UTI. It had better be so mild it did not reach her kidneys while you dithered around.
I have never sued anyone in my life but I will be even more enraged than this morning. It is not a pretty thing to have an internal rampage. I am sure it did nothing at all for my skin, yet I don't get zits anymore.
My husband, who is not a lawyer, said I can't sue. I will still try if the test is not normal for my sweetie.

Yup. No golf today.

I had a doctor appointment Tuesday morning. Took my Kindle e-reader with me. Tuesday afternoon I am home and I look for the Kindle. It is not in the house. I search the interior of the car and don't see it. I call the doctor's office and they don't have it.
I figure it is gone forever, so I log onto Amazon, remotely delete all the content off it, then report it lost/stolen so nobody can use it to download Minotaur Romance novels.
Today, Thursday, I wheel my trash bin to the curb. I turn around and see my Kindle trapped between the windshield and the folding interior sunshade. I must have set it on the dash while I fiddled with the sunshade and then scooped it up when I put up the shade.
I unlocked it at Amazon and now I'm slowly reloading it. It appears to be undamaged from two afternoons of cooking in the sun.

**************
When we first moved to FL and in a rental house, my 2yr old son got really bad diarrhea and I had a newborn baby. Husband at his new job and why we moved. No phone or pediatrician. So I left the baby asleep in a safe playpen and went next door to strangers (old couple who collected those weird German beer steins of men's heads). Locked the door. They let me use the phone and the toddler did not harf in their house.
Meanwhile, I'd locked myself out of the house as I forgot the key due to the toddler's diarrhea.
We could see the baby from a window asleep and I started feeling hormonal and freaked out. The neighbor man took the door off the hinges, which sort of told me that was not safe, but I was inside and my husband came home to the chaos.

I liked him as a Centurion in Jesus of Nazareth, who asks for healing for his servant.
In later years, he was wonderful in an episode of JAG. He played a former UDT who got revenge on a drug dealer who killed his grandson, while convincing two JAG lawyers he had dementia. IIRC, he told his friends he had a line on a PT boat.

I wish I had known they were worth so much because the atheist nephew-in-law had them in his coffin at the weird atheist funeral last fall.
I don't think they got cremated with him. But I did learn that there are rent-a-coffins for cremations, which grossed me out further.
I will be cremated someday and no one is going to put me in a rental coffin for observation.
A tasteful urn in a drawer to share the drawer with my husband's urn is the plan. I hope not soon, however, considering the past six weeks I need to be on guard.

Ah. Ok. I don't even have to look it up as I know Moron Minds. All is forgiven and I will go watch my newest series and see if the facial mole has been sliced off yet. They'd look so much prettier. I don't know why you'd keep one.
They get bigger, the sticky out facial moles. My FIL, who was a scary stern man I never wanted to cross, let our toddler twist his around and he eventually had it whacked off. I am unclear if I hoped our son would succeed or not and the chaos it would have created.
Good night and have a great weekend! I am saying this every night as you never know what will happen and I goofed last night after a nap and told Ace to have one. I doubt he noticed.

To enter the historic prohibition area of the bar, you need to pull out a bookshelf (which serves as a door). And they still serve all drinks in tea cups for kicks and giggles.
I know another one over in Lancaster County. It's in Elizabethtown. It's called The Catacombs...which is a cave system under the building...they still serve dinner there and the acoustics are scary. You can hear conversations at other tables across the room perfectly.

There are two lawsuits going on. American Fork PD used a SWAT unit to raid Ben in his airbnb on 'suspicion of possessing stolen Legos.' The PD also dislocated Ben's shoulder. Performed very questionable traffic stops and immediately knew who in the car was Ben.

When my great-uncle went around the bend, we had to locate all his assets. There was a safety deposit box, but where was the key? No use asking him. Organizing his things, we'd come across a hundred-dollar bill in a pocket, a porn mag...
Busting into that box was an administrative and expensive obstacle course. One day, I was emptying out a box of moth crystals i found in a closet. The key fell out.
Posted by: Smirking immigrant at June 05, 2026 01:04 AM (n7rxJ)
My mind is blown. I was just reading about the optics on the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope's coronograph instrument. This thing is going to be able to image exoplanets (that are close enough) directly. Maybe 150 ly away max.
It does this by blocking out starlight and isolating the incredibly small light signal of those planets in the glare of their host star. How they do this just blows my little mind. It's some fancy adaptive optics that uses thousands of little "pistons" that make *nanometer* deformations in the surface of the mirror. With all the fancy software control, this achieves *picometer* control of the light path. That just blows my mind.
All that will be used to isolate the tiny light from the planet and filter out the light of the star.

I park at the far end of the 24 hr Albertsons parking lot, out next to the employees cars, and walk the couple of blocks . I call as I'm about there. I walk up to the door at 11:15 and grin at the camera. One of the waitresses recognizes me and the door opens just enough to.left me in. The jukebox and the lights were turned down. There was a big heavy cloth taped over the one window. A lot of overserving occurred. Wound up doing shots with the waitress who knew me. I left at 03:45 after drinking coffee for about an hour. There were still.about 20 people there.

I convinced her that I really was at a bar, not chasing wild women 😁. I explained that it was like my usual night out, only instead of 8PM to.1AM, it was 11PM to 4AM, and that was because it was illegal for them to be open. She was mollified, but said,"What if they busted the place?" I told her that she would have had to come down to.baiil.me out.
It was interesting, but not unique. I had previously been in a couple of bars after hours when they weren't supposed to be serving, but in both cases I knew the owners, and there were only 5 or 6 people.
As an aside, the difference between PDX and northern AZ were striking. Both "local" Rez (Apache & Navajo) were locked down, but otherwise, most stores and restaurants were open and less than half the people were wearing masks. Portland was like a ghost town, and I saw people wearing N95 respirators while driving alone.
I don't think.that the serious cases and fatalities, other than the Rez, were drastically different between the two areas. The (father) Indians had problems due to their practice of tight communal.living.

I'm not on Facebook, so I don't get the unspoken implications. You saw.. her.. uh.. things that people put on FB? I don't know what that is.
I know that when couples nearly divorce but reconcile, a standard condition is "no you cannot 'just' talk to 'friends' on FB, we've been down this road and both know it means if they're opposite sex you're going to screw, and if they're same sex they're going to encourage it." I know from distant observation that some aspect of FB's design must dovetail with human psych in a toxic way; but I don't know what that is, having carefully avoided the site, since it kind of vaguely creeps me out (ditto Twitter, though slightly less since becoming X).

Something fascinating about telescope images. Except in the cases of very nearby objects, or very large objects not too far away (like Betelgeuse) a telescope does not see a point source, the true angular diameter of the source. It only sees a diffraction patter, a smudge due to the wave nature of light. That central smudge is dubbed the Airy disk. That is the minimum width of anything you focus on. The larger the aperture and the smaller the wavelength of the light you're looking at, the smaller the Airy disk.
What Roman does with all that fancy small scale precision optics is just cancel out that Airy disk of a star. What remains is the light actually coming from stuff very close to the true point source.
It will not give any clear high resolution image of an exoplanet. It will give some spectra of light reflected by the exoplanet that will allow them to determine the chemical composition of the atmosphere, if any, and all that. And maybe signals of biochemicals and all that.

Yeah, dementia does seem to be similar for many.
Hubby already had mobility issues, so I set up the guest bed for him. He could view most of the main floor area from there, as well as his tv. The only rooms he couldn't see were kitchen and dining room.
Since he couldn't bend down easily, I stashed my main car keys and the truck-- secondary vehicle-- keys in a lower cabinet in kitchen. (no, the other keys aren't there, I tore it all apart looking the other day!)
It's not a huge priority, unless I lose the main keyrings LOL. Just scratching my head here, late at night...

The worst is when their children - your elders - insist on frantically dumpstering the whole home ASAP because they can't be bothered and are in a hurry to sell it. I have seen this in my own family and in others, at estate sales. Not just hidden money but all manner of wild things.
My kids won't have to deal with that. We know the value of them knowing where it is, and much of it is gold and silver anyways - that depression generation for some reason learned to distrust banks, but not to distrust the currency that was steadily destroyed their whole lives. I am just the right age that the dollar has been shitting the bed nonstop my whole life.

Think of Roman as more v 1.0 of this coronagraph technology. Reading the details, it will be able to isolate a lot of Jupiter sized exoplanets and so forth, but earth sized worlds not so much (unless they got really lucky).
V 2.0 and on will likely be able to, based on the experience with Roman here.
It also has a gravitational microlensing thingamabob that will detect exoplanets much better than current methods. In fact in may detect an exo*moon* or two. The minimum mass is a smidge bigger than our Moon, Callisto mass roughly, IIRC. Provided they are far enough away from the primary, it will be able to detect it.
By the time Roman's primary mission is through, they expect to expand the number of known exoplanets to over 100K!

There is an odd intersection here with how some guys ( I am guilty) will hoard crap you "might" need later. Just today I dug out a specialized mounting bracket that has been stored for 4 moves over 15 years. But hey I saved $50 not having to buy a new one. I did actually recall where it was, but a project this year is sorting and labeling better.

The first exoplanet was discovered in 1992. And that was crazy (and very rare) thing around a freakin' pulsar. How they hell those form is a big question. A regular planet around a star big enough to form a neutron star would not survive, they don't think, even if it could form in the first place. Very massive stars don't appear to form planets too easily. All that radiation disrupts the discs.
The first exoplanet around a normal star was discovered in '96. To me, that's basically last week, but it's been 30 years. There are 6000+ confirmed exoplanets now.

Well, in harley land its never "might", but when. We get our asses saved all the time by new stashed parts. My biggest pissoff is he saunters around the shop looking for parts when he should just be ordering it. If I'm doing a complete engine rebuild order a fucking master gasket set, don't wander around the shop looking for individual gaskets. Thats the stash, thats the shit that saves our ass in a pinch. He did it today. I said order a complete gasket set. He shows me head gaskets and rocker box gaskets. Seriously? what about the oil pump, the pushrod tubes, the lifter blocks, cam seal, etc etc. Are you going to wander around the desert for each of those? Then when we don't have something he gets pissed. Well wtf?

Exactly. The best part is the master gasket sets aren't broken up into year groups like they used to be. Using the shovelhead for example. They made that engine from 1966 up to 1984-85. A lot of changes during that time, but now they include ALL of the different gaskets in one set for all the years, so you get a good pile of gaskets. The ones you don't use go into the stash and now you have a good amount of spares. Many times I hit the stash for an oddball. We do keep a shit ton of gaskets in stock, but there's always one you need in a pinch. Stop ordering the sets and the stash goes barren.

And in cyclical astro-gnomonical happenings that fascinate me, the southernmost latitudes of the US are entering the earliest sunrise time window
Earliest sunrise and latest sunset due to the vagaries of the Equation of Time don't happen on the solstice, but at an interval, a window, centered on the solstice. That window width decreases with latitude. In Honolulu, that earliest sunrise is tomorrow. But at any given spot, the width in Dec is longer than the width in June.
Up in Alaska below the Artic circle, that earliest time will be pretty close to the solstice.

But you can delete the leading https://www. and also anything after a ? since that's just parameters passed to a script. For example, if you link to a specific number of seconds into a YouTube video, that number will be after the question mark. The best for minimizing is Amazon, since you also don't need the descriptive text.
Here's an example where I just broke it up with a space, so it would take you effort to use:

When Allie first came into my life almost four years ago, I never, ever expected her to become my primary lap kitty. I thought she'd tolerate me, but never grow that fond of me.
Turns out I was delightfully wrong on that account. She follows me everywhere now.

Captive prairie dogs have teeth that grow continuously, meaning they will chew through baseboards, furniture, and electrical wires if left unsupervised.
They require hours of daily interaction. If ignored, they can become deeply depressed or aggressive.
The have extreme vocalizations - alerting Yips, etc.
Worse than cats. 😉 jk

The clip samples Ready or Not by the Fugees.
When Lauryn Hill is singing the chorus, the song is awesome.
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and make you want me
But when they start rapping, the song just isn't that good.

No, individually. The name is Daniel Moraff, and while an "engineering student" at Brown, he wrote this piece for Vulture magazine entitled "My Heroes, Daydreamt". It is supposed to be humor, they say.
It's available online, but behind a paywall. About Eleanor he wrote, "It's midnight and UN temporary HQ on Long Island. Eleanor and I are at last alone, straining to develop some sort of framework for a world that has flung itself to pieces. She knows my zeal for international law, my passion for human rights, but she does not know my true passion: Eleanor Roosevelt's aging body."

I can hear him walking on the hardwood floor, and I wear hearing aids. He doesn't cuddle or lap nap, but he does monitor and guard the room we're in. Smash is favored hooman.

June 4, 2026 is another historic day in Marine Corps aviation. This marks the ceremonial end of AV-8 Harrier operations as VMF-223 also starts to stand down. In the following months the squadron's remaining AV-8B Harrier II Plus aircraft will be ferried museums or to storage in the desert. And then the unit itself will be deactivated in September.

There was that ToS trek episode where something like the persons of the last two races of a civilization are left and aboard the enterprise and they just spend their time hunting each other down. And they were half black half white. But the two races were opposite sides.

Just that a program that was supposed to deliver a Harrier replacement way back in the 1990s has morphed into three distinct aircraft that only look similar.
Much like the original F-111 after being cursed by McNamara splintered into multiple non-interchangeable airframes - F-111A, F-111C, F-111D, F-111E, F-111F, and the FB-111A.

From what the internet is saying, the F-35 uses its own fuel to cool all its electronics and avionics, which have a massive heat load. If the fuel gets too hot (or levels get too low), all that would overheat.
So, any fuel trucks sitting in the sun are a problem as well.

Let us say that Thune is actually full MAGA, but constrained by the squishes in the caucus. He can't piss on them, or really strong-arm them, but he can set them up to fail.
So he gives them what they want - no vote on SAVE Act. They get primaried. They lose. His hands are clean, though.
Meanwhile, the California elections are complete shitshow, and whatever residual opposition to the SAVE Act there was in the general public is melting down due to the transparent stupidity and corruption on display. A global embarrassment.
But still, no vote. No, the SAVE Act can't be approved before the election because that will lower intensity among marginal voters, who are now epic pissed. GOP intensity rises to match the blue-haired freaks, breaking historical trends.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

The reigning ideology that controls all institutions in my country tells me that I’m supposed to believe we’re all just Americans who want the same thing.
But that is so obviously a lie that it doesn’t even merit refutation any longer. Reality itself refutes it.
There is no lofty cosmopolitan rhetoric that can ever pull the wool over people’s eyes forever. No amount of liberal proceduralism or woke moralizing is ever going to convince people to ignore what they see and hear with their own eyes and ears.
This man is not “my fellow American” and we do not have any shared interests whatsoever. We occupy the same landmass. That’s it.
And geography alone does not hold a nation together for long.

In my rampaging today, chronic fatigue and stress for six weeks of stuff happening to see if I crack (I don't), I forgot to mention my SIL's new puppy.
She raises these pups to be lapdogs and rather neurotic ones that bark a lot (and bite). Why, living on a farm with a lake, they don't get a rescue or a lab I do not know. She wants this exotic breed who looks like a racoon to me. This was from photos of her carrying the dog in a pouch thing. Which made us all laugh.
Well. The dog is now in training somewhere out of state. I guess in two weeks the 8wk old pup went loco with her and caused fights and angst. She had a trainer come out and observe the dog and agreed he was a bit much (bit part of a brick off of something).
My DIL found an 18 page manual near the dog toys and took a photo. Son and I of course laughed as the large print is the breeder advice (wacko) and the small print is SIL's.
We have not met the dog yet and hope the training is going well til the end of the month.
If it were not for my insane husband and sons (and DIL's that I love) I would be in an asylum.

Shooter Claimed by the Media to be the Harbinger of "Islamphobia" They're Always Shrieking About Turns Out to be a Muslim Named... "Mohammad Rage"
There was a shooting outside a Muslim event during "Eid," whatever that is.
Did you hear about it? If you consume any leftwing propaganda "news" at all, you sure did. It was the worst hate crime since the last worst hate crime. But they're not talking about it any longer.A Muslim was murdered outside an Eid service in Minneapolis last week, and initially, it was a story made to order for the left's victimhood industry. It even seemed to be a genuine example of "Islamophobia," which is as rare in real life as Nancy Pelosi stock losses. The far left's propaganda arm, also known as the mainstream media, swung into action, and leftist politicians chimed in with the requisite displays of outrage and sorrow. There was just one catch: when all the details came to light, the media narrative came crashing to the ground.... Even though nothing had yet been revealed about the shooter, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Planned Parenthood), who is running for governor of Minnesota, hurried that evening to imply that the shooting was an instance of "Islamophobia": "On this Eid al-Adha, I'm thinking of Minnesota's Muslim community and all those gathered in prayer today, especially following today's tragic shooting at an Eid prayer service at Canterbury Park. My thoughts are with the victim's family and the entire community."See Steven Greene's report for the "Islamophobia!!!" panic spread by the communist-jihadist media and Muslim organizations.
And then the whole house of cards came crashing down. On Monday, CBS had to report the truth: "A Shakopee, Minnesota, man is accused of shooting and killing 26-year-old Khalid Ibrahim Abdi outside of a Twin Cities Eid al-Adha prayer service on Wednesday. Mohamed Rage, 28, is facing one count of second-degree murder as well as an illegal weapons charge, according to the criminal complaint filed in Scott County on Monday."Our institutions are very insistent about who their enemies are and who shall rule and who shall die.
The Daily Mail has now published details from sentencing that almost no one has reported. As Henry Nowak -- bleeding from five stab wounds -- tried to climb a commercial rubbish bin and over a fence to escape, Vickrum Digwa filmed him. And taunted him. "You're not going to get away with this big man." Henry landed on top of a parked car on the other side of the fence. Digwa walked round and took close-up photos of him lying on the ground. A home security camera then captured what may be the most chilling exchange in this entire case. Henry: "I am dying." Digwa: "You're not dying bro." Ten minutes later, Henry said: "You stabbed me." Digwa replied: "No, I didn't." In the ten minutes that followed the stabbing, Vickrum Digwa did not call an ambulance. He filmed Henry for a full five minutes instead. That clip was deemed too disturbing to be played in court. Stop and process what that means. A judge and a jury sat through video of Digwa describing his blade in "loving terms," through bodycam of Henry being handcuffed as he died, through pathologist evidence of the eight-centimetre chest wound -- and the only piece of footage the court ruled too disturbing to show was the five minutes Vickrum Digwa spent filming an 18-year-old as he bled to death on a Southampton pavement. The judge said it in sentencing: "You continued to make films of Henry suffering, ignoring much of his desperation at having been stabbed. You told him that had not happened, no doubt to convince others who were nearby." The lie Digwa told the police did not begin when officers arrived. It began ten minutes earlier, in Henry's face, as Henry told him he was dying. This is what Hampshire Police walked into. This is the man they believed when they got there. This is what the court has now formally established took place between the stabbing and Henry's death. The five-minute video exists. Henry's family knows what is on it. The court knows what is on it. The public does not. It is too disturbing to be shown. But not too disturbing to have been done to him.The claims that Henry Nowak was a lost cause and the police forcing him into a posture which caused him to drown in his own blood had no effect on his fate? It's a lie, of course, cooked up by a corrupt institution spamming out defenses to keep the hangman away.
Dr. Calum MillerPeople point out there was a trauma center five minutes away -- but they allowed the "racist" to bleed out on the ground for an hour while chatting with the racist foreign family of killers.
@DrCalumMiller I am a medical doctor and I can say clearly: this is not good enough. Henry Nowak was murdered and the police let him die. When someone tells you they've been stabbed and are struggling to breathe, unless they pose an obvious risk to your own life, you make sure they are OK before you do anything else. You don't pause to think about whether they might be racist, or whether they could be making it up. There must be justice for Henry.

It is evidence of torture. This is not two guys getting in a scuffle, a knife gets pulled and one dude runs away.
He stabbed him.
Filmed him bleeding out.
And taunted him.
This wasn't too shocking to see, it would have guaranteed a guilty verdict and had to be suppressed.
Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at June 04, 2026 06:57 PM (zZu0s)
The police not only took Henry’s phone to see if they could find any evidence of his racism on it, but they also took Henry’s father’s phone to see if they’d had any racist text exchanges between each other.
Ostensibly so that if they had found anything racist on their phones they’d be able to put that out in the press to show that Henry deserved it and diffuse the situation they knew was coming.
Apparently they found nothing racist or we would have seen the evidence by now.

Henry: "I am dying."
Digwa: "You're not dying bro."
Ten minutes later, Henry said: "You stabbed me."
Digwa replied: "No, I didn't."
This is the distilled essence of gaslighting. They are killing you and they are using their imminent murder of you as a psychological/spiritual ploy to also damage your mind and your soul along the way too. There are many things the enemy wants to try and destroy beyond and above the material world.

Do we have the strategic life to get the best of the UK out? And what about the RN submarines?
Well, the RN is in such bad maintenance shape that NAVSEASYSCOM would be an upgrade. Most of their ships and subs are in long-term maintenance, and are not sea-worthy.
Plus the Warrant Officers in the SAS are leaving well before time, which hits the best British Army unit hard.

Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith is under fire after calling Islam a "demonic death cult" and saying he "hates Islam" during a FlashPoint YouTube appearance, while also saying he loves Muslims and hopes they convert to Christianity.
Civil rights and Muslim advocacy groups, including CAIR, condemned the remarks as harmful and potentially dangerous for Indiana’s Muslim community, and invited Beckwith to visit a mosque and meet local Muslim residents.
Beckwith defended his comments as expressions of his Christian beliefs and later posted online wishing Muslims in Indiana well, though he reiterated his hope they would become Christian; FOX Chicago has not yet received a response from his office.

We have the lift, especially air assets. They have six fleet submarines (SSNs), of the Astute class (with one further Astute-class boat currently under construction), and four ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), of the Vanguard class. Like the U.S. surface forces, they have had maintenance issues that extend the operations of the rest of the fleet. This seems to have had significant impact on recruiting and retention, both of which are operating a positive feedback cycles, further exacerbating their problems.
I have heard (but don't know, obviously) that they really have one operational SSBN, and perhaps 2 SSNs.
Their sub officers are quite good, in because of the Punisher program that they must pass (25+% failure rate) to be posted as an XO.

Californians are the cops standing over the victim bleeding to death and fretting about potential racism.
You have to verify the racial victim stack of all involved before you can determine if a crime has been committed.
Here's more:
If it had been Henry who called the cops, that he'd been stabbed--he'd have bleed out.
But only because they never would have shown up.
The only reason the cops arrived as quickly as they did is because they were sure they were responding to a Racial Hate Crime.
That is the one call that will scramble more cops and faster than anything else.
Even more than "officer down."

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met with Nowak's family and publicly accused Elon Musk of trying to "whip up division" in the UK following Musk's commentary on the murder and policing
>BBC, 4 hours ago, Henry Nowak deserves legacy that goes beyond tragedy, says PM
In part, "The prime minister's meeting with the Nowak family came after he accused Elon Musk of trying to "whip up division" in the UK over the murder.
Billionaire X owner Musk has posted several times on his platform criticising the police response.
Sir Keir told reporters on Thursday: "When we have a terrible case like Henry's case, Henry Nowak, we react calmly, as his family have done."
On Tuesday night protests about the case in Southampton left 11 police officers injured."

NYT: Ex GF of Platner Says He Knew All About "My Totenkopf," Used Physical Force Against Her, Bragged That He Would Rape His Male Enemies, "Not in a Gay Way," But to Show "I'm Dominant"
Coming soon: Claire McCaskill demsplains that fantasizing about homosexual rape of your enemies to prove your dominance is not psychopathic, but rather "authentic" and "blue collar."
Well this is definitely not the sexual assault exposé I was expecting, or that I got you amped for, but... eh, maybe for now, it's enough. I don't want the SA stuff coming out yet (if it exists) anyway. This feels like the NYT is warning Maine Kampf to withdraw before the next round of disclosures.On Tuesday evening, after a whirlwind day in Washington, Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, rushed home. Rumors were spreading from Portland to the Potomac about Mr. Platner's messy personal life, after news reports that he had sent sexual messages to women while married. Democratic senators were pressing him about whether more damaging revelations were coming. Journalists were swarming, staking out his hometown. Amid the turmoil, Mr. Platner worked the phones, rolling through calls to ex-girlfriends who might publicly acknowledge that while he may have been a bad boyfriend, he was, in fact, a decent guy. ... But in extensive conversations over the past two months, three other women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner offered a far more complicated assessment, describing volatile and "toxic" relationships that were unsettling and at times emotionally wrenching. Mr. Platner could be charming and charismatic, they recalled in interviews, but also demeaning to women and, in at least one case, even physically threatening. He drank heavily and was regularly unfaithful.He claims it's all due to PTSD which is playing the role of Biden's Childhood Stutter in this narrative. Anytime he's discovered to be lying or abusive, he says it's his childhood stutter brought on by PTSD, and you cannot question him about it, or else you Hate the Troops.
...Is he a former reader? Does he not know that the quote is "I would f*** him, not in a gay way, but like a Viking"?
Lyndsey Fifield, 40, a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns, recalled him as "cavalierly contemptuous of women's emotions, of our 'weakness.'" Ms. Fifield, who dated Mr. Platner from roughly 2013 to 2015, said that his offensive online posts "reminded me of just how much he hated women." Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. "When I saw the old comments that he made online," she said, "I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with." Some of the women also raised questions about his trustworthiness. Mr. Platner's insistence that he did not know that his tattoo was a Nazi symbol until it became a campaign issue last fall was simply not true, Ms. Fifield sai. After all, she said, he had taught her the word for it years earlier, referring to it as "my Totenkopf." His campaign strongly denied that he knew what the tattoo stood for. And in a statement to The Times, Mr. Platner said he had "too often self medicated with alcohol, and was a far from perfect boyfriend" during what he described as a "very dark period of my life." ... This article is based on interviews with more than two dozen people, including six women who had been romantically involved with Mr. Platner. ... Mr. Platner could be rough with her, Ms. Fifield said, particularly when they were drinking, leaving her shaken and sometimes afraid. In the interviews, Ms. Fifield grappled with how to process her experiences. She was quick to note that he "never hit me, he never punched me."
But she said he regularly grabbed her by the shoulders -- sometimes hard enough to leave marks -- and, on one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car. During one argument, she recalled, he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn't get out, telling her to remain there until she was "calm." Eventually, Ms. Fifield said, she fell asleep and left the next morning. "It hurt," she said. But she added: "It didn't cause an injury, it didn't break my arm."
... Ms. Fifield also recalled that Mr. Platner's displays of weaponry and discussions of violence sometimes left her uneasy. ... He had what she described as a "warrior ethos" and would fantasize about killing people he deemed a threat, she said. She said he told her that rape was about power. It was something that stuck with her through the years, Ms. Fifield said. "He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them," she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in "a sexual way, not in a gay way." "He was like, I would rape them to show them that I'm dominant," she said.
... Mr. Platner, who had overlapping relationships with other women while he and Ms. Fifield dated, also referred to women as "hatchet wounds," Ms. Fifield said, a crude term for female anatomy. ... Ms. Fifield said she did not expect her friends to offer that corroboration because she did not tell anyone at the time, saying she had been embarrassed. ... Caroline Lemp, who dated Mr. Platner for several months in 2013, described him as a "gentle giant." She said he never made her feel unsafe or showed any signs that he was struggling with the physical or mental effects of his military service.Does that mean his PTSD excuse is a lie?
... Last fall, a few months after announcing his campaign for Senate, Mr. Platner said that he had learned from news media inquiries that the tattoo on his chest was widely recognized as a Nazi symbol, and he moved to cover it."Took over" sounds a lot like "was given as an act of charity towards a drug-addicted layabout bum."
... "It was not until I started hearing from reporters and D.C. insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol," Mr. Platner told Politico in a statement in October. "I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that -- and to insinuate that I did is disgusting." Ms. Fifield called that a lie. Mr. Platner, she said, knew when they were dating years ago that the tattoo was a Nazi symbol, and that he called it "my Totenkopf." "I would never have known what that was," she said. "He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo." Ms. Fifield said he told her that he and other members of his unit selected the tattoo because "they were like a death unit, they were killers," and saw a parallel between their unit and the Nazi Schutzstaffel, or S.S., unit, that used the skull-and-crossbones image. "They literally, deliberately, selected it because it was relevant to their military unit," she said. ...
Throughout his campaign, Mr. Platner has presented his life as a story of recovery and personal growth. He has described himself as "self-medicating and drinking heavily" and "becoming very emotionally distant" during his time in the military, which ended in 2012, he says, and the years immediately afterward. A relationship with a girlfriend while he was serving in the Marines "totally fell apart because I was just a wreck of a human being," he said in an interview with The Times last month. Then, in 2016, he returned to his small hometown, Sullivan, Maine. With therapy from the Department of Veterans Affairs, he got treatment for PTSD, anxiety and depression and began to build a new life. In 2018, he took over an oyster farm from a family friend.
Needless to say, Maine Kampf denies just about everything negative the women say about him. Not really terribly damaging. Most stuff will be dismissed because it's from a "right wing" Republican, who apparently isn't all that right wing because she dates communists. She confirms that he's lying about not knowing it's a Totenkopf tattoo, but Democrats don't really believe him about that, anyway. They know they're backing a Nazi. They are pro-Nazi, because they are antisemites and increasingly part of the Islamic jihad. Is this all the New York Times has, or is this the first volley? I don't know. I'd say it's the first volley, but this article doesn't seem to allow for the possibility that they spoke to other women who alleged sexual assault. But then, that stuff seems to be about his "conquests" as a young nepo baby at Hotchkiss. None of the girls that would tell those tales would be categorized as women who dated him as an adult. I guess we'll see. It just might be that the former communications director for the National Man-Boy Lincoln Association got it wrong, if you can believe that. (Or did he hype it in order to make the story feel like a let down? Like false claims that Clinton got red faced and enraged during his deposition?) Or, it could be that the NYT shied away from reporting the really toxic stuff they'd found.
Still, he stayed active on Reddit, offering a glimpse into his unvarnished thinking in more than 1,400 messages between 2016 and 2021, when he says he stopped posting.
... "I'm a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days," he wrote. "Still got the guns though, I don't trust the fascists to act politely." He has since said he abhors political violence. But his relationships with women have remained complicated. ...
Asked about the post in a follow-up interview this spring, Ms. Racicot, who said she agreed with many of Mr. Platner's policies, said she had an off-and-on relationship with Mr. Platner and had positive memories. But she was not shocked, she said, when she saw the incendiary comments he had made about women that have surfaced during the campaign. "I was like, that makes sense," she said. "This person does not respect women." Ms. Racicot also said that in 2021 he arrived at her house drunk, after she had asked him not to come over. She declined to elaborate, but said she cut off contact soon after that episode and found his behavior "reckless" and "unsettling." ... On the campaign trail, Mr. Platner has consistently worked to reassure voters who have been rattled by what they have read about his messy personal history. He has said that he had not lived a "very complicated" life.
The NYT did a huge disservice to Lyndsey in how they packaged the story about Graham Platner.

Formerly of the military when they started letting in open homos the rate of men who rape their male enemies exploded.
... and they had to revamp their "sexual harassment" (SHARP) training, on line of course. They had a funny as hell pop-up for male on male rape - pretty much said "It's to show dominance, nor sexual".
Wish I had a screen capture of it (the pop-up was not in the downloadable pdf).
Thought it was the funniest thing I have seen in, like, forever. Had to be written by our new Muslim overlords - It's not 'gay' if you are on top.

He seems like a "way out" there guy, and there have been several stories in the news lately of people killing themselves, their spouse and their children. Of course, Platner doesn't have any kids, but I can't understand being so enraged at your spouse that you would also kill your underage kids.

I received my home inspection report on this potential purchase. There are not a few red flags, like outdated electrical equipment (screw-in fuses and ungrounded receptacles, e.g.) that would horrify the insurance co. There's termite damage to the garage. Worst of all, the A/C unit is from 1991 -- near the end of its life. I can just imagine my moving in during July and having the A/C die on me.
I guess some of this is what you should expect from an older home . . . but I dunno if I'm ready for all this.

Termite damage would scare me the most - you need to know how old that damage is, and if it's continuing.
I don't do mold issues and I don't do termite issues...
AC can be replaced, as can electrical stuff (that's easy, if not the cheapest), but termites and mold can pretty much take down an entire house...

They asked for $135K. Taking, say, $35K off of that would probably make them throw up their hands and say, "No thanks." And I'm kind of inclined to go along with them.

It checks all your other boxes. Older houses all have a variety of issues.
Termites can be stopped, and piecemeal repairs can be extended for a while to not be a big budget item all at once.

There are hundreds of homes for sale out there.

I would walk away unless you want to spend all your free time and money covered in sawdust and grime when you aren't at the Home Depot.
I guarantee you the home inspectors missed a lot of stuff you will discover in the coming months. Termite damage is a major red flag.

I . . . am of two minds. I've been saying, "I want a place I can move into and be comfortable right away. No fixer-uppers, no A/C replacement, no new roof." Of course I was prepared for painting and floors (I don't want carpet!), buying window blinds and other things. But this one might drain my bank account more than I am prepared for.
The scary idea for me is that almost any place I can easily afford might have these kinds of issues.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Dozens of anti-immigration enforcement protesters who face federal criminal charges after they interrupted a Minnesota church service in January, accompanied by former CNN journalist Don Lemon, will not additionally face state charges, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao said in a statement that “current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes,” a determination heavily criticized by the lead pastor at Cities Church, where the protest occurred.

I regally swept out the door with my posse (husband, son and DIL) and acted like it was my due, you peasant door opener!
This was the same night a lesbo tried to hit on me at the restaurant bar with my husband standing behind me.
I was apparently looking fantastic that night.
If Piper is not dead from kale, this is what I was wearing that autumn night: Wool burgundy houndstooth pantsuit, ivory lace silk blouse, ropes of pearls, and an antique lace hankie in the pocket. Suede burgundy pumps and purse. I felt pretty dang good, too, after a gin martini and some wine and good food.
I was always ready and willing to mess with Dems.

'Sullivan Harbor Farm of Hancock plans to reopen soon with a new owner'
After the FDA shut it down, the company has started to make repairs and prepare protocols that satisfy food safety practices. Feb. 2016
Platner's alleged VA multi-disability issues arose after his stint as a government contractor 2018, allegedly protecting a US Ambassador. Good timing for getting into the Waukeag Neck Oyster Company.
Website: Our story (in part) :
Graham Platner (left) was born and raised in Sullivan, where he lives with his wife Amy and their animals. After time in the military, he returned home in 2018 to get involved in oyster farming. In 2019 he took over operation of Waukeag Neck Oyster Company, slowly but sustainably making it a commercially successful small scale aquaculture operation. An inveterate diver and lover of the sea, he also runs a mooring service and serves as Harbormaster in Sullivan.

His son is Seth Frantzman.
Bio, in part: Seth J. Frantzman is the senior Middle East Correspondent and analyst at The Jerusalem Post. He has covered the war against Islamic State, several Gaza wars, the conflict in Ukraine, refugee crises in Eastern Europe, and also reported from Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Senegal, the UAE, Ukraine, and Russia since 2011. He is the author of three books: The October 7 War: Israel's Battle for Security in Gaza (2024), Drone Wars: Pioneers, Killing Machines, Artificial Intelligence, and the Battle for the Future (2021), and After ISIS: America, Iran and the Struggle for the Middle East (2019).
During or about 2013, he married a lovely Ethiopian-Israeli woman who came to Israel in 1985 via Operation Moses.
Bare chested Platner did his lip-synching dance, wearing only Marine silkies which the US Marines BANNED in 2011, as a 'gift' before his new sister-in-law and former step-brother at their wedding.
How disgustingly provocative!
He knew what the symbol meant because the military strictly forbid it & the U.S. Marines certainly wouldn't have let it go in 2007.

Claim: The Man Stealing the California Mayoral Election Previously Stole the 2004 Washington Gubernatorial Election
This article says he's done it before. He's very, very good at "discovering" votes in the 5th Quarter of an election, where Democrats really shine.The man who stole the governor's election in Washington state is now doing the same thing in Los Angeles. We had absolute criminals in charge of the Democratic Party in Washington in 2004. Ron Simms, as we all know, lied to my listeners and me on the air when he was chair of Sound Transit Board of Directors. But Ron Simms was also actively involved in, what I am convinced, was the biggest Democratic Party conspiracy in Washington's history. When people ask me why I'm so cynical about local government, it was that gubernatorial election of 2004 that is at the top of my list. What I saw was a Democratic Party that was as corrupt as any political machine has ever been. In case you need your memory refreshed, that was when Attorney General Christine Gregoire was running for governor against Republican candidate Dino Rossi. When they counted all the votes, Dino Rossi was the winner -- by 261 votes. Such a thin margin triggers an automatic recount. When they did the recount, they found some more Gregoire votes, but Rossi won again -- by 42 votes this time. And that is when the Democratic machine of Ron Simms, Christine Gregoire, and the head of King County Elections at the time, a guy named Dean Logan, got involved. What was revealed in subsequent lawsuits was remarkable. On the third recount, they miraculously found a few hundred more votes for Gregoire to steal away the governor's race. Apparently, there were 300 illegal votes, 400 more where the voter could not be verified, 240 felons who voted illegally, 44 votes from dead people, and 10 people who voted twice. When all of those votes were counted, the third time around, all of a sudden Christine Gregoire was the governor. Then and now, I think it was a Democratic Party criminal conspiracy. The guy spearheading this in King County was Dean Logan, who was finding uncounted ballots all over. He was absolutely amazing at finding Gregoire ballots in between counts.But is there any reason to believe he's "discovering' Votes for Basura or the communist carpetbagger? Well -- yes.
On election night, nobody was shocked that Pratt had closed the gap with Bass, just as nobody was surprised that Raman came in a distant third, as the polls suggested. But California doesn't have election nights. They have counting weeks, where vote totals change as batches of votes trickle in, and those batches show an amazing pattern: there are almost no votes for Spencer Pratt, which is nearly impossible statistically.
There is literally nothing California could do to make their elections less secure.

🇺🇸RealRobert🇺🇸Ron DeSantis is no fool:
@Real_RobN As long as they're counting ballots after Election Day in California, it only means one thing: Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton are out of the runoffs for LA Mayor and Governor. In fact, Gavin Newsom confirmed it just two weeks ago. When asked about the possibility of ending up with two Republican candidates for governor and no Democrats, he said: We will have to topple the state government of California, and that is exactly what the Democrats are going to do. "We all have agencies. We can shape the future. I don't anticipate this being the case, but there is a 'break the glass scenario.' There are many people who have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out, and we're going to do everything to make sure that doesn't happen. I'll leave it there."
California keeps dumping votes. Odds are shifting because the vote dumps always seem to go one way.

I want Trump's EO on mail in votes to go through, and I want states to set up separate election systems. The federal elections follow the EO. The state election systems are the same bullshit and obviously corrupt.
So, the states see federal representation shift hard to the right while state governance keeps lurching to the left.

A distinction without a difference.
It Was A Territory. Take the W.
Posted by: Joe Mama
There is a difference, though. California was a territory occupied by the US military before it became a state. The normal progression was for new land, once conquered/purchased and occupied by US forces, to be given territorial status with its own legislature, and then admitted into statehood. California skipped the second step in the process.

New: Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior
------
That's not rape. That's not sexual assault.
This isn't going to convince Platner to drop out.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 04, 2026 04:30 PM (KbEzc)
Modern legal theory states that, if a woman feels discomfort - or regret - over a sexual encounter, even one decades in the past, then it is rape. Unless the man is a Democrat.

They won't support Voter ID, because that would interfere with the Democrat Party's vote fraud machine.
What will they do?
Well, Republican Senator Josh Hawley is gaveling in pro-forma Senate sessions to prevent President Trump from making any recess appointments, and Mincing Mike Johnson's herd of cowards just helped Democrats pass a resolution condemning the war against the terrorist regime of Iran.

In fact postal rules also state that your piece of mail may never receive a post mark.

The best case scenario was he'd come close enough to justify a vote audit.
Which will never happen.
Even if he misses 2nd place by one, single vote.
Because the entire CA judiciary will literally burn their entire constitution and every bit of precedent to prevent that.
There is no evidence they would ever consider even if they didn't dismiss all his cases for lack of standing.

I can see the latter scenario, where everyone in the elections office agrees to just stop counting votes for Pratt, but I can't picture the Raman partisans stepping aside peacefully for Basura to win outright before it's over for their gal. They'd rather shed blood.

Last time, Bass got 3:00 AM ballot dump of suitcases full to get her the win, she was losing up to that point.
Christine Gregoire though, that was the first REALLY OBVIOUS fraud win for the Democrats, and established the principle that you keep recounting until the Democrat wins. Even the Seattle Times, super hard left Democrat tongue bather said the election was such a disaster that they should redo the entire thing... until they got a count that gave Gregoire the win, and they just announced she was the winner.

The author, Dori Monson, had a radio in Seattle during that 2004 Gov. election. He covered it daily and knew the subject well. I voted in the cockup.
Other people were all over the post election corruption. One private citizen put together a voter database when it became clear that the election was beyond corrupt in an attempt to expose the interesting ballots that by multiple miracles kept being discovered and being cast for Christine Gregoire, the Democrat.
The corruption in the election began before the first all mail ballots were counted. Acorn, a prototype left wing ballot harvesting group, was instrumental in getting registered "people" and somehow having the ballots sent to dubious places like private for rent mailboxes.
Logan, as head of King County elections, was at the center of all this.
That election was the prototype for every fraudulent election since then where that Democrat won after making a stunning and unprecedented come from behind victory. With Logan in LA County - based on what I know and observed in 2004 and now - anything is possible and odds on none of it will be good for Pratt.

The Democrats barely bothered to cover up what they were doing. As an example, some election worker, likely a King County elections employee, showed up one day at election HQ with car trunk full of uncounted "ballots." The excuse given was the work forgot about them in all the excitement from the election.

3 Maine is a big early vote state. About 80% of all ballots in 2024 were early. Five days until the election. He probably has enough banked to win no matter what. And then they have to talk him out of running. Nepo-baby narcissist who sees polls that say he'll beat Collins. They're stuck with him, but watching Democrat aligned polls say he's going to lose in late June just to snap back to him winning in July when it's too late to replace him will be funny. In 2020, Collins didn't win a single poll in her senate race. She won by 8. Polls are suspect at best, but in Maine the assumption should be that they're just wrong. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer FilmsI don't know-- if a candidate withdraws from a race, would votes for him be counted, or discarded?
* I use this same analysis of the "shape" of a story to discard bullshit conspiracy theories as bullshit -- if this is all real, why is there never any actual momentum to the story? Why is no supporting evidence ever adduced? Why does it perpetually remain at the same level of unconfirmed, anonymous claims? Why does it not heat up and catch fire? Living things move. Dead things just lay there.

They won't really nuke him.
Because they know there's a good chance he won't drop out. If they nuke him themselves, Democrats lose donations from the far left and lose the race anyway (Maine was never in reach with Collins running).
They'll end up leaving that to Collins to do herself come mid-July.

The media are rushing to get at the head of the parade, and will pretend they were there all along. They can't win, so they might as well attempt to bolster their credibility, but it's too late for that now.

Over the years, there had been uncomfortable moments, to be sure. I flinched when Joe said, at the White House press conference after the Hur Report was released, ‘The president of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in.’ He meant ‘the president of Egypt.’ The truth was that he was not performing as well as he had in his younger days. Did that disqualify him from being president, as long as he was still getting the job done? I didn’t think so, nor did the staff members who were spending far more time with him than I was.
The optimistic thinking was that enough voters would say, ‘Okay, he’s old, but he’s been doing a good job. There’s a young vice president. If during his second term he gets to the point where he needs to hand over power, the worst-case scenario would still be good.’
If you knew Joe Biden well, you’d know that if he actually got to the point where he wasn’t capable of doing the job, he would step down. Certainly, if he exhibited cognitive impairment, I would not hesitate to say so. His staff would not hesitate to say so. But he was nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024.

I can't wrap my head around how the democrats thought this kind of stuff was not going to come out in a hotly contested campaign. This stuff is coming from the democrat side as far as I can see collins hasn't paid for a single negative campaign ad against him.

Or: Candidate B withdraws. Candidate A, after the election, is disqualified. B would then be the winning candidate. So the votes all have to be counted.

He was going on far left, non-establishment podcasts while the establishment was propping up Mills.
But Mills barely campaigned, is a thousand years old, and inspires no one while Platner says things like, "I knew exactly what my tattoo meant," "I hate Zionists," and "oligarchy". So, the Democrat base loves him.

Or is the GOP finally not shitting the bed and creating this monster themselves? I know, I know.
But if the GOP were to create the most repulsive Democrap candidate ever, it would be this guy. Platner is like a gay Serpentor created from poisonous ideology, toxic stupidity, and oozing body parts stolen from rando dumpsters in Tenderloin.
He's literally the PERFECT CANDIDATE ... for the GOP.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 04, 2026 03:22 PM (iFTx/)
Note well the sputtering and struggling of other Dems being unable to answer why they support him.
It's also a calculation that they have to sacrifice the ME seat--that's how bad the damage is becoming.
Because the Planter voters are going to see this as the party betraying them and refuse to show up for Mills in November.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 04, 2026 03:23 PM (73/SM)
Knowing only that flabby Platner showed off his NAZI death head chest tattoo until he got a ton of pushback about it, I'd say its over 50% odds that he has mis-treated, maybe full on assaulted multiple women. And even if some of these women going to the press now are 'RW operatives' the commiecrats wrote the rules about "seriousness of the charge, believe all women" yada yada.

I know it sounds like sarcasm, but I'm somewhat serious. Mills is going to return to the race, and her numbers are so bad that just removing Platner doesn't get them the win. They need something to shake it up and hurt Collins. They don't have a substantive campaign, so they need to denigrate the opponent. Remove Platner's stain from the Democrats and place if firmly on the Republicans. Platner will go along with it. He has nothing to lose.

I think the GOP is doing something similar to this in Montana.
The Democrat candidate has no support from national organizations and no money, but apparently the only money she gets is laundered from the GOP (allegedly). Democrats want her to drop out in favor of the independent Senate candidate instead (because the Democrat brand is so strong, dontchaknow).

So I have no inside information. But I have followed the news for most of my almost 29 years, and I know what a bombshell scandal looks like before it blows up.
---------
Platner appears a bit unusual as far as how much of a trail of alarming evidence he's been willing to litter his life with, his utter narcissism, and his lack of embarrassment and common sense. A high end achiever you might say, way out on one tail of the bell curve. If's a profile that many political types have, but he takes it further than average.
On the other hand, what is known about him so far is already pretty bad, and yet his candidacy is being promoted by Democrats anyway. If they haven't already dumped him, then what would it take?

Until to see how that helps the party, in or out of the state. He will never win the race on Maine with that platform. He’s already dissembling on a lot of it, because he knows it.
Meanwhile he’s dragging down the national party. He’s an easy target for the national GOP along with the Al Qaeda guy from NJ.

The comments section was even more amusing, however. Most of the lefties were in a tizzy about how regardless of what horrible things Maine Kampf had done, at least he wasn't Susan Collins, who had voted for Trump's nominees, which was somehow morally worse than, like, any heinous crime ever.
The minority of voices of reason (to the extent a lefty can be said to be reasonable, which is not much) were explaining that such bad behavior was indicative of poor judgement and lack of self-control, qualities you don't want in a Senator. But they were mostly shouted down by the "blue no matter who" loudmouths. "I don't care if he's an actual Nazi, if he votes against Trump, I want him in Congress!"
Then there were a few who predicted he'd turn out to be another Fetterman. Not that we'll find out; Platner political career is now surely dead as a coffin nail. At least he can keep selling oysters to his mom.

All is calm in my world for now. I was rested and ready for a rampage after a month of piled on stress after stress.
Seriously, though, a RN could tell this was crap treatment from reading the lab values, there is no way a PA or ARNP would not treat this sick baby girl for a UTI two days ago. AND the MD seems to be doing something weird with the portal lab values as she knows the baby's Nana is a nurse.
I am sure my girlie will be fine. She was better yesterday, bless her. She should not have been sick for two extra days due to either being an idiot pediatrician or over her head with a large pediatric practice plus teaching at a med school.
By the way. The most dangerous time for surgery or in patient care in university hospitals is this month when the interns become residents. It is pure chaos.

I get to talk all afternoon with experts in predatory birds. Interesting as hell. Most hawks and eagles, when being harrassed by crows will just fly straight up to a height that crows can't handle forcing them to peel off.

I always wanted to do that, but I move around too much for work. I think the guys plan will work though if it keeps the hawks away from the homestead.

Life is good. I haven't killed anyone yet today but it was dicey this morning for a murder ride across the valley and a national news scene at the university hospital. That woman does not know how lucky she is as she wears her stinking mask. I guess during covid she wore the whole deal with a plastic shield. Pathetic.

Also heard they went with Platner because he polls well with 18-34 year olds, who like to be communists in mom's basement. Its a group the Dems are trying to wrest back from Trump.

This is why Schumer recruited Mills.
There were stories months ago praising Schumer for his great recruitment for this cycle, and Mills was a major name in those stories.
And she dropped out of this race because after months of people knowing that Mills' opponent had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years, she was still trailing by 30-50 points in every poll.
The establishment has almost no control of its base anymore.

And then normal people looked at the women in that show and said "gosh aren't women terrible".
I wonder how many of the "women's socio-sexual behavior is terrible" studies are actually studies of gay men's behavior that is somehow being attributed to women.

I ate steak and shellfish four times a week for 20 years, and I eventually bought myself a case of raging gout.
I'm just a middle class jerkoff, but I stopped, and the gout is totally gone.
Bernie Sanders is a lifelong millionaire, and he couldn't afford to stop having it. He still hobbles around drenched in sweat.

Democrat Ron Wyden Lisps Defamations at Scott Bessent So Scott Bessent Asks Him About Wyden's Son's Business Dealings With Jeffrey Epstein
Trump's Secretaries ate their Wheaties yesterday morning. They were accepting zero bullshit from the communist Nazi agents of foreign powers.
NEW: Democrat Senator Ron Wyden goes completely silent after Secretary Scott Bessent torched him for his son's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 3, 2026
Bessent: "Senator Wyden has mendaciously slandered the Treasury building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment… pic.twitter.com/Ll9RZl4nZG
Catherine HerridgeHe asked a Congresswoman who the president during World War One was, and she could not answer. She said "I don't know." A congresswoman. Doesn't know. Who the President was. During World War One. You think that's stupid? Check out this retard who the Democrats think is smart enough to be a political leader and federal legislator.
@C__Herridge DIG DEEPER: After the clash between @SecScottBessent + @SenRonWyden
I ran "Adam Wyden" through the DOJ Epstein Files portal: 29 hits including this April 2016 "thank you email" via Epstein's assistant
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh 48m 🚨 OMG. Secretary Bessent just BRUTALLY EMBARRASSED this RUDE Democrat congressman LARSON (D): Are you in favor of eliminating the gas tax?! BESSENT: We have moved to-- LARSON: --Are you IN FAVOR of ELIMINATING the gas tax?! Answer! BESSENT: Well if I'm NOT INTERRUPTED I CAN! LARSON: I'm waiting for your answer! BESSENT: We ASKED CONGRESS to eliminate the gas tax. That's done through statute. *Pause* LARSON: ...you moved that? You're in favor of eliminating the gas tax? BESSENT: We have ASKED for that. LARSON: You're in favor to eliminate the gas tax? BESSENT: AGAIN, the White House ASKED for it. LARSON: They have?! Why isn't it before the committee for a vote? BESSENT: I don't run the agenda. 😂💀 Clueless dolt!
He has no patience for flighty idiot Democrat women who seem to think that the Department of Treasury manages USAID, which is/was a State Department boondoggle. This is embarrassing. What would you say you do here, ladies? Marco Rubio was also not having any bullshit. Democrats repeatedly harrangued him and refused to let him answer. When he tried to answer, they would bark "I'm reclaiming my time" meaning "you do not have permission to speak, because I'm claiming the time you would need to answer." Rubio repeatedly asked: What the hell is this? A series of elderly eighth grade girls badgered him and would not let him answer. This c*** made a snide remark about his shoes, just to prove that she's a Serious Person who is definitely not in a state of Arrested Development at the lowest possible level of female maturation. At one point Rubio said, "I thought this was a hearing" -- you know, like a place where witnesses are heard. Nope! It's a place for Democrats to film pre-scripted "TikTok videos," as Rubio said:

Wyden looks like he has the slims or a car ran over his head several times.
I am currently on a rampage so beware. The professor of a university pediatric group did not put my 9mo old granddaughter on an antibiotic on Tuesday. Thankfully her own immune system has fought this UTI down. So now...NOW...one day after a premliminary culture that WOULD SHOW GROWTH...she's to start an antibiotic. And, oh, she'll need an ultrasound of her kidneys a couple of weeks after she finishes the antibiotic in the event it damaged her kidneys.
I may be an "olde" RN but I know what should have been done on Tuesday & "she was not concerned with her Ph being off the charts at 9, 1+ WBC, trace RBC, and cloudy." I said on Tuesday to DIL that that's weird. You are usually put on an antibiotic til cultures are complete & change med if needed.
Yes, they are getting a new pediatrician. One who, hopefully, does not still wear a mask years post covid.
Thankfully my lovely baby girl is not in the hospital with IV antibiotics for sepsis after a weekend of 101-102 temps.

And none of the Dems have any idea what to do once the script ends.
If I was Chair, every time a Dem says, "I reclaim my time" I'd respond "the request is denied, your time will be charged to the witness who will be permitted to complete their answer."
It's long past time that the Republican chairs of these committees stop letting them play these stupid games.

THEY ARE BUILDING THE EVIDENCE required to investigate, check, and remove allllll these corrupt mfers when we have a democratic congress in January 🙌 GET OUT AND VOTE!!
this is fùcking great. This will get under trump’s skin. It will turn him against Rubio and it’s forever a stain on Rubio.
"He calls me at 2AM, 5AM, he doesn't sleep!" Yeah. That's exactly why he sleeps during the middle of the day...
Rubio's lame attempts at gaslighting would never hold up in court. Perjury charges are ready to file once we regain power.
Congress has the ability to charge people with "Contempt of Congress". So they can do something. They just dont.

Lieu knows what Rubio actually saw? How is that possible. He's got a camera implanted in Rubio's eye?

Remember, we're stupid for thinking that six states shutting down ballot counting in the middle of the night because of a water leak in Atlanta could mean something untoward was happening in election counting in 2020.
But they're going to take down the Trump administration because Trump closed his eyes during a meeting once.

In 2016, you pointed out that when Trump was going a little overboard, and he was, with his constant insults against the republican lineup in the primaries, that Rubio had some great rejoinders by reading Trumps tweets and putting them in a humorous context, yet that felt a little "frat boy" like, and you don't know how that holds up, because Cruz was your guy, he was mine too, Not anymore, I don't like Cruz as much as I used to.
I think that the direct conflict that rubio had with Trump was a GOOD thing, and that those interactions sharpened the nature of what we are seeing now.
I don't want a polished play nice egotistical technocrat anymore. I want a fighter with simple statements and balls that swing with a fury. Rubio is delivering that. Bessent is chilling in a chair with his fey smile giving everyone an opportunity to embarass themselves, and while Vance has been in the back ground, I'm curious as to what the strategy is with him. Is he like the Aide De Campe sitting in the room with the king learning all of the ins and outs while being largely silent, but at the same time having access to the machinations of the land that he will

Congress is not co-equal to the executive.
It's superior.
It can cut funding and eliminate departments. The presidency can't do anything close to that to Congress.
It's just that Congress decided a long time ago to cede its power, de facto, to the executive because it was easier.
It'd be interesting to see how governance in American would change if Congress cut a single department from the budget and appropriations if the executive cabinet official pissed them off.

Trump ran on mass deportations, and he's delivering. The past year has deported more people than any operation in American history. It is roughly 3x the size of Operation Wetback. His past rhetoric is now meaningless.
Rubio has only rhetoric. And he's an employee who serves at the will of the president in charge of the deportations.
What does he believe? What would he do if he wasn't just an employee?
These are questions I genuinely don't want the answers to. Because putting him in power over immigration would be flipping a coin.

I enjoyed watching the men beind Rubio.
I have always loved Marco Rubio and voted for him in FL for every election. He's smart, well spoken and a quiet assassin with words that hit the target.
He and Sec Bessent make me very happy.
Oh, my husband told me to "settle down" in my brief rampage earlier. I said I'm fine now, I needed a cathartic rid of anger. He said I need an antipsychotic and left in a hurry for stinking Walgreen's, who said they'd have the antibiotic for our girl. He then texted that of course it was not ready in an angry text tone (ha). I texted DIL and she said they'd have it ready. I then texted that Walgreen's lie.
We had ALL of our scripts transferred across the street to Walmart,where Rx is ready in one hour vs the chronic Walgreen's "out of stock." It's no wonder I am crazy.
You might be lucky to have a normal Walgreen's but we don't. They are understaffed nation wide and the pharmacist here will put you on hold then hang up the phone if you had a question. Or they decide they won't take your insurance.

Arguments about grasping what Putin really wants are the nut of the matter. Saying someone who disagrees with me isn't paying attention is just an ad hominem way of avoiding the argument.
An ad hominem is a logical fallacy in which a person attempts to disprove an opponent's argument by attacking the opponent's character, motive, or personal attributes, rather than addressing the substance of the claim itself.

LOL! At this point I would watch daily if this happens.
The Dims whipped off their pants and showed their dumb asses in this "hearing." I loved the screaming Dim leaving as well and Marco telling her thanks for coming. Laughing.

All I know is I enjoyed Sec Marco and Bessent today and always. Thanks, Ace.

"Why is she leaving? I'm gonna answer her questions! Well, THANK YOU FOR COMING!"
Brainless Bimbis and Bimbos, every one of them.
