Tyler Robinson Hearing: The Text Messages (Which Candace Owens Claimed Didn't Exist) In Which Robinson Confesses to Killing Charlie Kirk Are Shown In Court
But don't worry -- Cavernous Nostrils has a back-up conspiracy theory. Sure, the texts exist -- but they're "fedslop" fakes.
Candace OwensShe's just spamming out one new covering conspiracy theory after another. She says these must be fake, because the FBI wouldn't have just photographed the messages, they would have seized the phone. Well, they did seize the phone. They seized it and downloaded everything in its memory. Also, they couldn't present the phone in court unless they could show clear chain-of-custody, and the defense didn't object -- therefore, the phone has been in the possession of the authorities after being taken from Tyler Robinson. She also insists that Tyler Robinson can't be the killer seen on video because the guy on video is 6'2". She knows this height exactly, somehow. Just by eyeballing a video, where he's not standing next to any other person nor anything whose height is known. And she claims that Robinson himself is "just over 5'10." Except no, the police photo shows he's 6'0" or just a touch under. Seeing that this contradicts her claim, she crops the photo to remove the top of Robinson's head and make him appear shorter.
@RealCandaceO They police just took a pic of the Lance's phone, guys! Biggest assasination since JFK and they decided not to collect it and store it into evidence. Just trusted him and took a couple of cute pics for insta. And now Lance has immunity. And of course the judge ruled that the defense did not need to examine these messages for authenticity at this stage of the hearing. It's just not necessary at this stage- got it? Enjoy your Fed slop!
Natalie Jean BeisnerBy the way, photos of the bullets reveal that they're hollow-points, intended to expand upon contact with a target. These bullets are designed to blow up into flat plates so that all of their energy goes into a target, and none comes out. That is, the bullet is designed to expend all of its kinetic energy in the target, and not exit the target. I say this because Cavernous Nostrils and her Legion of Tards have been claiming that it's impossible for a rifle bullet to not exit Charlie Kirk's neck (so we know a TPUSA official standing nearby him must have shot him with a pistol at the exact moment the rifle shooting decoy fired his rifle).
@NJBeisner 23h "You can't even tell it's him in the video!" Ok. They have his DNA. "It was planted! They're lying to us!" And round and round we go. Nothing will ever satisfy these people. Even video footage of Tyler Robinson taking the shot would not satisfy these people because they're untethered from reality and convinced everyone from Israel to Robinson's defense team is on this. You can't fight that type of psychosis with facts.
FINALLY we have photographic evidence the rounds Tyler Robinson used were SOFT POINT.

I said all along that Kirk was waiting for the all important criminal trial to conclude before shoving all those statements up cavernous nostril's nose. And criminal trials operate at a much higher evidentiary level so that evidence can be directly imported into civil liability trial for slander and if printed somewhere, libel.

He rejected her, because she's a lunatic and kind of ugly when you really look at her. He married Erika.
In her demented, crazy, psychopath head, she figured that since Charlie spurned her, he OWED her TPUSA. In her own head she manufactured this obligation. Charlie didn't give her himself, so surely he'd want to make up for that sin by giving her TPUSA.
And the last nine months have been her raging at Erika and torturing her to coerce her into giving up TPUSA and giving it to the woman Charlie really wanted to have it, Candace Owens.

If you hunted a lot with softpoints, you would find some of them don't exit even in something like a deer. Few if any people hunt with fmj because it is much more likely to go through or hit something and richochet to who knows where.

92 You also have to account for the charge of the round as well as the bullet construction and weight.
Get out your re-loading manual. Check the Ft Lbs. at impact for the ranges of loads and different bullet construction.
They vary greatly.
Then, apply the 'Fuck if I know' factor that identical loads producing radically different wounds reveals.
=======
Yep. Bullets can do some weird shit in bodies because of ballistics and hydrodynamics coupled with wound science. One good example is the 125 gr HP in 357 Magnum performed far beyond expectations for police compared with the original 158 gr scalloped HP. The 158 tended to go through while the 125 stopped inside the body and made a wide messy wound.
And even in the world of fmj, you had the famous Mark VII bullet used by the Brits in their 303's that despite being a fmj, it had an aluminum tip so that the bullet upset and went into a ass over tea kettle when it hit skin. 55 gr FMJ or slightly lighter will do the same while a heavier bullet will tend to penetrate in 223. Keyholing FMJ do more damage in wounds that a slower or heavier bullet would do. Those tend to go straight through.

That is the text book definition of premeditated murder which warrants the death penalty.
Maybe they can't get the prosecutor to talk about taking the death penalty off the table even if he pleads out to capital murder and they have no choice but to let the process run it's course.

But then I thought about it further & changed my mind. The prosecutor put in all his/her best evidence to win the media battle, I'm guessing. To make sure that potential trial jurors are already skeptical of the conspiracy theories before they even enter the courtroom. So I think it was probably wise to show all the state's cards early on.

Oh, and I forgot, this is a charge by information, not grand jury, so what you are seeing is the Prosecution's evidence of probable cause so that the judge will issue the indictment for murder.
Charge by information is used now by most states for charges rather than grand juries and that has only a judge making a ruling after the prosecution's presentation of evidence and any defense cross examination or submittal of evidence that the judge uses legally to establish whether probable cause exists for an indictment to be issued for trial.

I am not an agent with special powers as it was posted in local news. The Furry Network postings of "something is going to happen." I saw it and followed it.
I knew within hours the first arrest was a psych lunatic, well known with Utah LEO going back to the year of the Boston bombing and pretending to plant bombs at a local marathon. He is in prison now due to child porn found on his phone.
There were no Jews, no French foreign legion, no coms with shooter and Kirk's security. None of the pipe dreams of yours, and by the way, what are you smoking?
You, Candace, are the malignant narcissistic personality disorder of being rejected by Kirk both on the job and probably once he got involved with his wife and you trying to fling yourself on him. You were not invited to his wedding or funeral.
You can pretend to be his friend and maybe he was polite to you after you were fired for going too far. Pathetic woman you are.

Legal posture and limited public access to discovery
Prosecutors chose to seek an indictment rather than begin with a criminal complaint; Utah County officials and reporting note that decision constrains immediate public access to the full discovery package and means defense counsel must file motions months later before certain materials are publicly revealed [5]. Courts have also moved to limit media exposure to certain images—such as pictures of restraints—citing fair-trial concerns [10] [8].
6. What the sources say — and what they do not
Available reporting consistently cites text messages, DNA on the rifle, physical evidence from the scene and apartment, and alleged post-shooting conduct as the main items prosecutors rely on [1] [2] [4] [3]. None of the provided sources publish the full forensic reports, the exact DNA match statistics, the raw text-message logs, or the complete indictment exhibit list; those materials are described but not reproduced in the articles cited [5] [7]. Therefore, the public summaries come from prosecutors’ statements and media summaries rather than direct publication of all underlying evidence [5]

I also found out, simply by READING (can you do this???) that there was a lesbo militant group in Utah. Who won grants to support their bs from various means. Including, I guess, the US government. "Armed Queers." The founder is the daughter of an Iranian immigrants: Ermiya Fanaeian
Her website vanished after the shooting because she was questioned. Fancy that with a logo of “Revolution + Trans liberation in our lifetime!”
She was on stage at one point, I guess collecting USA $ wampum, with Senator Grey Beaver Warren. A pow wow of sorts in the great teepee of Dim politics.
I found all of this easily online from the news. I am not a secret agent or in the CIA or FBI or anything important. It was ALL right there had you bothered to take off your doom glasses and look. No conspiracy. No Jews. No French Foreign Legion were ever mentioned. No cover ups. RIGHT THERE within days after the shooting and the campus videos.
His own parents turned him in, after seeing the videos of Buck Tooth going up the stairs of the building. He confessed to them and a friend who was a LEO before arrest. It was all there, Nostrils. All there.

But yes until this iran thing is done one way or the other he needs to triple his security and stay in the white house, but he is not going to do that. He is going to go into campaign mode soon for the midterms and the secret service is going to have to up their game.

Slightly OT, but maybe a few people have seen this "nonbinary" person who "studies far-right extremism" who fled to Canada with her "partner" so she can escape before the trans-Krystallnacht hits? She went a little bit viral thanks to conservative social media making fun of her.
She says her big moment that told her she HAD to flee was... when Charlie Kirk was killed. And transgenders started getting blamed for "all this shit they didn't do." Charlie Kirk being murdered by a person of ambiguous sexuality was the moment she knew America was about to start the mass slaughter of people like her.

Tucker Carlson: Graham Platner Wasn't Booted Out Because He's a Nazi and a Rapist. He Was Pushed Out Because He Asked Questions The Jews Didn't Like.
TCNEnjoy how he renders rape as "sex" and a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo as "tattoos."
@TCNetwork Graham Platner's fall is not really about sex or tattoos.
The establishment cared so much about getting him canceled because he opposed their economic and foreign policy programs that serve the powerful and shaft average Americans.
Remember, Tucker Carlson is a "conservative"! If you criticize him, you're "splitting the party," "causing division," and "in-fighting"! I mean sure he's full-blown socialist (or communist now-- he is extremely authoritarian and seeks a return to feudalism), but he hates gays and that's all you need to be conservative!
Except his Islamist friends also hate gays and I don't think that makes them conservatives. Hm, this is a puzzler. Why is he a "conservative" again? Consider this a formal invitation to Graham Platner to appear on Tuq'r Qarlson's popular Egyptian/Pakistani/Qatari podcast.
Tuq'r's ally Donna Brazille says Platner needs "time to heal."
Ed Morrissey writes that Tuq'r's allies in the leftwing communist media are oscillating between two narratives: 1, We did our jobs perfectly (no notes!), or 2, We were duped by a liar and had no way to know we were being conned. The Wall Street Journal is pushing the "duped" narrative. Again, they blame their Democrat sources (and friends, and wives, and mistresses) for "misleading" them. This is exactly the same narrative the media deployed when "Sharp as a Tack" Biden was found out. "We weren't in on it, we were fooled like everyone else!" Except no one else was fooled. Only the Wise Men Truth Tellers of the media.
This entire article aims at Democrats for missing a parade of red flags in Platner's life while fraudulently promoting him as the "authentic voice of the working class." Democrats certainly deserve every bit of opprobrium possible for selling voters a whiny, entitled, upper-class mooch as a working-class stiff, just a couple of years after attempting to sell a senile old man as a Sharp As a Tack(TM) candidate who could totally handle another four years as president. Democrats are spending a lot of time growing candidates in vats, as long as they come out socialist blue once formed. However, the WSJ does not include one single word about how the media helped sell that fraud to voters in Maine and to the entire country. Their article never admits -- as Axios at least did -- that the media repeated the Katz-Moraff narrative "without scrutiny" for months. It never mentions the New York Times "tamp and tame" effort last month in which they manipulated three women, including Lyndsey Fifield and Jenny Racicot, in an attempt to muddy allegations to the point that Platner, Moraff, and Katz could claim that it was a partisan smear campaign. And of course, the article never mentions that Racicot finally came forward with the rape allegation specifically due to the NYT's manipulation of Fifield.
And that's the important part about all of this. Not Nazi tattoo or the rape thing. https://t.co/tyG1hSZlc5 pic.twitter.com/PcOCm3invx

If so, mistakes may have been made.
If so, they were done in the enthusiasm of the moment.

You cannot argue with a liberal because they will pretend not to understand the arguments.
It's a tactic to throw out wild accusations and make your opponent have to explain how they are lies.
Because they are liars, like their father, the Devil.

I think you are seeing the real Tucker here. Anyone following his career in media would notice the different masks he would try on and then discard for something bigger or more well paid. Like most media types on air, he is an actor primarily and not particularly impressive intellectually. This goes way back to the Crossfire years. And I think he has always disliked Jews as a WASP elite by blood and upraising and is just now letting it show.

I am thankful I am not named Molly Jong-Fast who looks like Rosie O'Donnell.
Rosie supposedly had a face lift but no one can tell.
If you are going to cut on my face I'd better be able to tell, which is why no one will unless I am burned or go through a windshield (look at Nic Kidman's bat ears...ears get larger with each lift and she's pure plastic). I should say "look under one of her many wigs." I can't stand Kidman, or Rosie,but I figured that would be obvious.
Things seem to be spiraling for the Dems, eh? Is it the Maine people who say eh like Canadians?

His brother Buckley is more open about hatred of Jews and is less restrained in being seen drunk, etc. So it is from observing both of them and seeing Tucker on the stage or running the Daily Caller for years that led me to those conclusions. Empty inside and that lets the demons in whether real or metaphorical. And Tucker naming his own son Buckley is probably a reflection of how close these two are.

I hope they don’t get distracted by certain elements of the media trying to exploit differences and push divisions between various factions within the Democratic Party, but remember the goal is removing Susan Collins.

So after the earlier scandals broke, the socialist donors went to him and said, "OK, you've gotta come clean - -did you send dick-pics to underage girls on Kik?"

Real journalists write their stories from campaign press releases. It takes real skill not to plagiarize them word for word and they learn that in J School.
They would shriek and run from the inky stained wretches called reporters that could write well but were often non college graduates who were schooled from life. There is an old movie with Clark Gable and Doris Day, Teacher's Pet in 1958 that highlights the shift from reporters to 'journalists' and from working profession to college graduate. Course the movie tries to mix both of them unsuccessfully in my opinion as the winner.

How dare a US Senator write a letter of commendation for a family member of a media figure why this must clearly be a violation of some sacred trust no US Senator ever did a favor like this out of political considerations clearly this means he is unqualified to hold higher office.

I was waiting for this answer. To see who would say it.
Congratulations! Poor dude came off of whatever he was on and, wow, did he mess up! It's not like me, mad at bf/husband's first break up in college and getting my long hair highlighted by my friend who did not know what she was doing. It grew back and I could part it on the other side to hide a skunk streak.
Unless he wanted to transition, and pretty badly done I'd say; but avoided those pesky ingrown hairs and chronic cysts.
This was a mistake you cannot recover from. Unless 3D printers can now help.
I feel sorry for him as he looked fairly normal from his mug shot, vs some people like that tranny son in NY who just killed his mother instead of learning to weld. He looked mean as a snake even as a child. Poor lady.

You know, you hear things about the deplorable, slave-like living conditions of the foreign workers that Arab countries bring in to do the labor that Arabs themselves think they're too good for. Will Tucker Carlson have any compassion for workers of Qatar, and lead them to rise up in demanding economic and foreign policy programs that serve their own interests, over the rich and powerful of his Qatari homeland?

I have a lot of faults and sins to my name but fortunately envy is not one a major issue for me. But, it can burn people up inside which is a problem. I think from social media, entertainment, etc. where they rub our noses in what they have versus our look at ourselves in what we have makes us feel small, deflated, and discouraged.
But what good is all the world if we forgo eternal salvation. Glamour in its original meaning was a magical trick making us think something is valuable when it in fact isn't. Easy to forget that sometimes.

Well, no, he was Biden's son, the guy who was seriously big in DC. And Hunter was a grad of Georgetown, so he was someone that would be touched to get a reference. And they were in the same social areas, since the politicians love the big media names, and the big media names love access to the politicians.

The word glamour is a Scottish alteration of the word grammar, originating in the early 18th century. It derives from the obsolete Scots term gramarye (meaning magic or occult learning), which itself came from the Middle English gramere and Old French gramaire.
Key Etymological Evolution:
Medieval Roots: In the Middle Ages, grammar (grammatica) referred to the study of Latin and general scholarship. Because literacy was rare and associated with the clergy, this learning was often conflated with magic, astrology, and the supernatural.
Scottish Adaptation: By the 1720s, Scots speakers altered grammar to glamour to specifically denote a magical spell or enchantment that deceived the eyes, as seen in Allan Ramsay’s poem The Rise and Fall of Stocks.
Semantic Shift: Popularized by Sir Walter Scott in the early 19th century, the meaning shifted from "deceptive magic" to alluring beauty or charm by the 1840s, eventually becoming associated with Hollywood and high fashion by the 1930s.

But in the end, they know what the progressives' capabilities are & that they can just as easily be turned towards them.

Arsonist Cuts Off Penis and Uses It As Fuse to Light a Fire
Christopher Peden just became the top pick to replace Platner as Democrat candidate for Senate.
A firebug in Indiana cut off his own penis, dumped gasoline on it -- then used it to light a blaze inside a neighbor's garage, according to police. Christopher Peden, 36, of Fort Wayne, allegedly copped to giving himself the shaft after first claiming he was stabbed, according to court documents. Peden told cops he "harmed himself" inside the garage in Fort Wayne by "cutting off his penis" with a kitchen knife on May 6, FOX 59 reported. Lance Baker begged his neighbors for helped after he was stabbed by his son, according to a neighbor. During the totally nuts kindling plan, he poured gasoline on his severed genitals and "set it on fire on the floor of the garage just inside the door," according to court documents cited by the station. When Peden later ran into police, he claimed he'd been slashed in the city's downtown area, according to the court documents.

1. Yes. The Fox polls are Dem leaning and have been for more than a decade.
2. I invite you to investigate how accurate summer polling is.
"The summer polling is 100% accurate because the final polls of the last election were 60% accurate."
Anyone who compares summer polling to final polling is unserious. And anyone who, after the last few years, thinks that polling is at all accurate is unserious.
According to summer polling in 2020, Perdue was going to easily win. He lost.
According to summer polling in 2020 in NC, Cunningham was going to easily win. He lost.

************
I think there's been another special protected boy's murder of mother in Weschester County, NY. The photo of him looks trans. The NY Post gayly said he has sparkling blue eyes. Pity he did not cut his pee pee and set it on fire (I guess this is one way of not having it reattached).
His name is Chester Green. Granted I would not like being named Chester, either, but would not kill over it.
There's a photo of him as a child and he looks mean and beady eyed. Sort of like Prince Harry. Widowed mother would try to get him interested in welding and bring him to community events. I feel badly for his mother's family and friend, but people said there was "something" wrong with him.
I would vote for him being the furry trans cell mate, but different states. Pity I am not in charge of the world.
Also read that Hakim has been voting for Maxine for seven months. How is that possible to vote for another person in congress??? Is this normal? Am I in a coma with McConnell?

It may take awhile to find out. Someone shared this article about a similar L.A. incident a couple nights ago, but it actually happened on March 7; the new news on July 4 was the toxicology report.
Daily Star: https://tinyurl.com/5x8xr48r
>>> The man is said to have used a non-serrated pen-knife around two inches long and three-quarters-inch wide to deliver the fatal injuries to himself in his final moments. The wound he inflicted to his genitalia was nearly a foot in circumference as it left his testes exposed and led his penis to be “degloving” from his body, the report stated.
>>> It is understood the man died from self-inflicted wounds to an artery and vein in his right arm alongside injuries to his jugular vein and trachea in his neck. A toxicology report found Sutherland had an extreme amount of methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death and also alongside MDMA.

Well, my bosom friend and eternal victim of this attack is more Catholic than the Pope. And if you read Talmud you'll see that Jews believe you should "burn your gentiles in their garages."
Is it possible that Mossad had a typo in the brainwashing newsreel they forced this poor man to watch for 96 hours before this mission? I think so, but only Ben Shapiro can say for sure.

I had never heard of peyronie's til Bill Clinton. Maybe it's a sign of rapists and Platner needs to be questioned.

Federal Judge in Florida Overrules DC Judge, Orders the DHS to Turn Back on SAVE's Verification System for Determining Aliens' Eligibility for Benefits -- and Voting
Remember foreign judge "Sparkle" Sooknanan? She claimed that it was unconstitution for Trump to check voter names against social security numbers to determine if they were eligible to vote.
She herself is a foreign citizen -- she has dual citizenship, and never renounced her foreign one, despite suggesting that she would if approved to be a judge -- so she's very invested in the idea that foreigners should rule United States citizens.Libs of TikTokBut not a Florida federal judge says "turn the machines back on." He himself was the judge in a case where states sued the DHS to secure the elections, and the consent decree reached by the DHS and the states was that these safeguards were to be implemented. So "Sparkle's" ruling contradicts a judge-approved settlement between the states and the federal government. For that reason, he's "overruling" her.
@libsoftiktok Jun 22 BREAKING: Biden-appointed judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, just BLOCKED the Trump admin from using a social security database system to verify voter eligibility. We have foreign judges telling us we can't secure our elections What are we even doing?
Federal judge hands Trump big win, directs DHS to restore voter verification features of SAVE system The SAVE system was enhanced under the Trump administration to better support state election integrity efforts, including maintenance of state voter rolls.I'm not sure how a Florida district judge can "overrule" a DC district judge, since both are equals. Appeals courts overrule district judges below them. But this judge, overseeing the DHS/state settlement, might have some special authority to protect the settlement. So is it over? NOPE! Judge "Sparkle" says she doesn't care what another judge with direct responsibility to oversee this settlement says, she says she's a Cultural Enricher here to set us all straight!
A federal judge in Florida on Tuesday ordered the Department of Homeland Security to restore some of the key features of its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, which states use to verify citizenship and immigration status for voter rolls. The ruling overturns a D.C. judge's ruling, who determined that the SAVE system's features, including a feature that allowed workers to verify citizenship status through a resident's social security number, violated the Social Security Act and Privacy Act by improperly aggregating and using Americans' personal data. The SAVE system was enhanced under the Trump administration to better support state election integrity efforts, including maintenance of state voter rolls. U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II ruled that the DHS violated a settlement with states, including Florida, by disabling the features. Wetherell approved the settlement last year and has maintained jurisdiction to enforce the settlement. "Defendants are plainly in violation of the settlement agreement because it is undisputed that they disabled the bulk-upload and SSN-search features that the agreement expressly required the SAVE system to have," he wrote in the order. "The fact that defendants disabled those features to comply with [the judge's] order does not change the fact that they violated the agreement." Wetherell determined that the features did not violate federal law, concluding the SSN-search functions align with 8 U.S.C. §1373, which overrides other restrictions on sharing citizenship or immigration status information, according to Florida's Voice News.

@kylenabecker BREAKING: Judge 'Sparkle' Flips Out, Rejects Federal Court Order Dismissing Her Ruling Judge Sparkle Sooknanan has refused to pause her ruling that dismantled the Department of Homeland Security's expanded SAVE citizenship verification system, even after a federal judge in Florida ordered the exact same system to be restored. The dispute centers on the Trump administration's expanded SAVE database, which allows states to use Social Security numbers and bulk searches to verify citizenship for voter rolls and other lawful government functions. Last month, Judge Sooknanan blocked the upgrades, ruling they violated federal privacy laws. But because Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio had already secured a court-approved settlement guaranteeing access to those same SAVE features, U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II ordered DHS to immediately restore them. Rather than pause her ruling while the conflict plays out, Judge Sooknanan rejected the Trump administration's request, accusing the government of "gamesmanship" and insisting the Florida court had "erred in significant ways." The conflicting rulings now leave DHS in the position of being ordered by one federal judge to disable the system or to ignore her and follow the alternate judge's ruling. Rep. Abe Hamadeh has introduced articles of impeachment against Judge Sooknanan. Rep. Nancy Mace has proposed legislation requiring federal judges, members of Congress, and Senate-confirmed officials to be natural-born U.S. citizens.

@julie_kelly2 A reminder that in Nov 2025, tw0 Democratic judges on a DC appellate panel put a hold on Transportation Sec. Duffy's emergency interim rule that would have prevented the state of Massachusetts (and other states) from issuing non-domiciled CDLs to a broad category of noncitizens. Judges Flo Pan (Biden) and Robert Wilkins (Obama) claimed the DOT "does not appear to have demonstrated any safety benefit from the rule [and] the county petitioner has furnished evidence that the rule would harm public safety by forcing it to replace safer experienced drivers with less-safe new drivers." The illegal immigrant who killed a PA state trooper last week received his non-domiciled CDL in Feb 2026.

>>> No, suspending a campaign does not count as withdrawing under Maine law.
To be replaced on the general election ballot, a candidate must take the specific legal step of formal withdrawal, which is distinct from merely suspending campaign operations.
Key Distinctions:
* Formal Requirement: A candidate must submit a signed, written notice of withdrawal to the Secretary of State’s Elections Division. A public announcement, press release, or social media post stating that a campaign is "suspended" is legally insufficient.
* Precedent: In April 2026, Governor Janet Mills suspended her U.S. Senate campaign but explicitly stated she was not withdrawing. Because she did not file the formal paperwork, her name remained on the primary ballot, and votes cast for her were counted.
* Current Status: As of July 9, 2026, Deputy Secretary of State Jana Spaulding confirmed that a "public declaration is not an official withdrawal." Until the signed letter is received by the 5 p.m. deadline on July 13, the candidate remains the official nominee, and the party cannot initiate the replacement process.

You got federal judges thumbing their noses at the decision the SCOTUS just made because the SCOTUS only has the means of a reversal to "enforce" their decisions.
Let's hope we see more lateral feuding from judges. Perhaps that would cause Congress to act lest the entire judiciary become a battle between Popes.

The opposite rulings by 2 District Court judges will probably lead to expedited appellate court rulings.
That's about all the split means. The opposite rulings still apply in the 2 Districts.

I don't think Collins was in danger, ever. She's just too good of a politician in her state. She's like Lindsay Graham that way.
I think the GOP floor is 52, assuming Cooper wins in NC. Nothing else flips. And even then, Cooper is running like Cunningham in 2020 according to polling and the state has gotten much more GOP since, and Cunningham lost. to Tillis.
TX, OH, AL, and IA were always pipedreams by the left.
And the nomination of El-Sayed in MI (fait accompli by this point) make MI a toss up and the investigation of Fulton County makes GA a tossup.
Worst case scenario is 52. Best case is 55.
But, through it all, Mitch, Tillis, Cassidy, Cornyn, and Ernst will not be part of the GOP caucus no matter what.

There are judges thumbing their noses at recent Supreme Court decisions precisely because the SCOTUS has no mechanism for discipline.
The founders would have never thought an elite branch like the Court would ever need that kind of discipline. Because they are all supposed to be top-of-their-game professionals, doing judge things.
Not simping for a party.
I think the current plan of the rogue judges is to spam the Supreme Court with more cases that it can consider and reverse and so some of their bullshit cases will remain un-reversed.

Planned Parenthood set to regain federal funding as GOP ban expires, July 2
Planned Parenthood will regain access to federal funding on Saturday, one year after Republicans were able to cut its clinics off from Medicaid.
Last year, Republicans were successful in using the party-line One Big Beautiful Bill Act to achieve their long sought-after goal of defunding Planned Parenthood.
But the complicated Senate rules involved in passing the bill meant the ban only lasted one year instead of 10. Come July 4, Medicaid will once again cover non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide.

Scotus and appellate courts actually do--summary reversals and writs of mandamus. If it goes far enough, civil contempt of court which is the exception to the jury trial. And that includes jail time.
But what it does mean is that those judges have to actually do their jobs, not sally forth on lengthy vacays abroad etc. The original recess periods were for justices to go ride on circuit as trial judges, not to vacay for months.

None of them ran for the seat, and they're going to be gifted a nomination. Sure, they're not really nobodies in Maine politics, but up against Collins, steady hand who brings home the bacon and has that independent streak? They're nobodies.
She's polling better than she did in 2020 when she won by 8. She was down by 8 in all the polls in 2020. Final polls. When they're supposed to be the most accurate.

It's another Supreme Court created problem.
Congress had laws about dual citizenship, making it illegal. Then the Supremes stepped in in 1965 making it legal, but not addressing all the political and legal problems that their ruling created.
Just like wishy washy gun rulings. Just like they started BLATANT government intervention in... well... everything when they decided a Farmer growing chicken feed for his own chickens is somehow INTERSTATE Commerce... Just like when they decided Corporations (man made entities) somehow had Natural Rights (speech).

Well, they kinda did that with Justice Chase who was politicking while a Scotus judge. He got impeached and barely avoided conviction. During Jefferson's term.
But in a narrowly divided party system that rarely has supermajorities, you don't get removals much absent actual criminal charges and convictions of a judge. Even then, one of the last judges impeached and removed ended up serving in Congress for several decades before dying as he was not convicted at trial. Alcee Hastings.

U.S. Senate: At least 30 years old and a U.S. citizen for at least 9 years.

And he's tying himself closely to the former mayor of Atlanta who is running for governor who will probably perform poorly in November because she gave space to the rioters.

There's a trend in rulings for a long time.

2. Make those decisions as reviewable by judges as possible.

Doesn't work nearly as well for a predictor when a) it is the second term of a president, and b) the race involves senator or governor races that tend to attract better candidates.
Incumbents below 50 are usually vulnerable and teh last spit polling was Ossoff at 46 percent with a decent sized sample. He simply is a ghost to much of the state, Collins, on the other hand, to win the primary spent time all over the state in the last two years and beat two other good candidates in a primary AND runoff.
Plus, the federal GOP Senate committee may now coordinate with Collins and spend without limit to support him due to a recent Supreme Court decision. Independent groups cannot. So the DNC and its legislative party counterparts are hurting due to lack of fundraising for years.

And the House is more affected by popular vote swings than the Senate or governor. Those tend to be more idiosyncratic elections due to better candidates and higher race visibility. House races are more like down ballot Statewide races for offices like AG or Sec. of State.

USAID was big.
But Vance's fraud task force has said that they've cut off a quarter trillion in fraudulent payments.
USAID was $40 billion a year. Vance says he's cut off $250 billion.
I like to make the comparison to Hollywood.
Hollywood's box office is roughly $8 billion a year. USAID was 5 Hollywoods. The fraud from Vance was 32 Hollywoods.
Just an economic ecosystem creating people whose entire livelihoods depended not just on government money, but Democrats controlling it.
Even if not one person donated to the DNC, that's an entire economy the size of New Zealand in our country designed to propagate the Democrat Party.

I wonder how many times a constitutional amendment has been sought. More than theatrical.
But this is interesting:
According to the Constitution of India, India strictly prohibits dual nationality. If a citizen of India voluntarily acquires U.S. citizenship, they automatically lose their Indian citizenship.
The "Sort Of" Solution (OCI): To help immigrants who had to give up their passports, India later created the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card. It is often called a "pseudo-dual citizenship" because it grants lifelong travel, residency, and business rights in India, but does not allow the cardholder to vote or hold public office there.

Yes they are. If you rely on Fox, their polling operations are run by a former Dem operative and have demonstrably sucked for well over a decade with whatever 'partner' they chose whether Ipsos or Shaw.
If you must bother about polling results, learn to avoid any media polling as those are pushed out to a narrative to push on air, not for accuracy until perhaps the last week or so.

That, or they accepted an ITIN, or they accepted a false SSN without checking it.
They might claim that they had no way of verifying SSN and no process in place to do so, and further were not required to do so. Which makes the entire process a freaking joke, of course. Why issue a strictly controlled license or permit like a CDL if you can't verify that the person who is issued it is the same person that either earned the certification, or exists at all?
I swear to God it would work better for the insurance companies and bonding companies to issue CDLs since they stand the chance of being sued for being corrupt arseholes.

I'm sorry that you haven't been paying attention to the overall court situation.
There's actually very little chance that Sparkle's ruling gets upheld on appeal. The idea that the government can't access it's own data was already adjucated earlier this term.
In a split 2-to-1 decision (American Federation of Teachers et al. v. Scott Bessent et al), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld the government's authority to share sensitive records across departments, for instance.
SCOTUS will definitely side with the administration if there's a split at the appeal level between the DC circuit and the 11th.

Problem for Sparkles at the appellate level is this was a settlement of a lawsuit that the Florida judge has jurisdiction over. It is almost always the rule that an approved settlement has all subsequent litigation directed back to the judge in the original settlement agreement.
This was one of Elias's typical stupid lawfare tricks as Sparkles jurisdiction problems give the DC court of appeals an easy out in staying her decision until full litigation is hashed out. If DC is stupid, then it is likely Scotus will bitchslap both of them via shadow docket with a stay.

There's actually very little chance that Sparkle's ruling gets upheld on appeal. The idea that the government can't access it's own data was already adjucated earlier this term.
SCOTUS will definitely side with the administration if there's a split at the appeal level between the DC circuit and the 11th.

Actually, I have been paying attention... to all the Judges who just go YOLO... and to all the times the Supremes have been ignored.
So, yes, it may get overturned in a year or two by the Supremes... but then I never thought the Supremes would use Brit Law on the Eve of the 250th Anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, to over ride the clear intent of the author of the Birthright citizenship question... and ignore the laws that the people who ratified it passed AFTER the fact.
We are in unchartered waters.

Nope, it conflicts with a SETTLEMENT decree made in Florida prior to the decision. Her decision is going to get stayed and then be discarded sometime later by the appellate court. By waving her ass around the second time denying the Florida district court judge's administration of settlement litigation and failing to stay her order, it is likely that the appellate courts will do it for her.

Jasmine Ratchet: I Only Lost the Primary Because It Was a "Racist Race" Y'all, I Won't Be Campaigning with the Gay That Won
I wonder if she's debuting her podcast, too.
Radical leftist Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said race played a major role in her Democrat primary loss to Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico (D). Crockett argued that racism, not politics, was the deciding factor in her Democrat primary loss to James Talarico. "The reality is that there was a lot of races, not a lot, it was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right? But we live in America as y'all are celebrating 250, okay? We know what this country is," Crockett said. Crockett rejected criticism that she should have spent more time campaigning alongside Talarico. Instead, she said her strategy was to help down-ballot candidates, pointing to five black men she endorsed in Texas runoff races who all advanced to the November election. "The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn't me standing on a stage with him," Crockett said. "It is the fact that I endorsed five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be black men in the state of Texas and every single one of them won." She pushed back on criticism that she should have campaigned more directly for Talarico, saying giving voters multiple candidates to support is a more effective strategy for boosting turnout. "People keep trying to say, 'Well, Jasmine has to go and hold his hand.' No, I don't," she said. "If you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance of getting them out to the polls." ... Crockett previously said she does not believe black voters have fully united behind Talarico's Senate campaign and confirmed she will skip next week's Texas Democrat Party convention. She said she has not seen broad enthusiasm for Talarico or the rest of the party's statewide candidates, adding that many voters remain unconvinced despite several months remaining before the November election. "I've not heard a bunch of kumbaya," Crockett said. "People don't seem to be convinced at this point, but there's a lot of time between now and November."I credit the racial anger to Stephen Colbert, who broke FCC rules by interviewing the gay white kid and refusing to offer an interview to Ratchett. That was some straight racist shit from Colbert. Typical prog, using the blacks for power and then shutting them out of power themselves. #BoycottTalarico

@groove_sdc Jul 3 I hope Talarico supporters are listening because you're blowing the race for him with all of this vitriol towards Jasmine Crockett. Black folks are sick of it. So follow your boy's lead. [Meaning: Talarico said it was his own job to win the election, not Ratchett's.] Or shut the fuck up about her. Your choice.

The Democrat Party has elevated the black vote so much since 2008, desperate to replicate Obama's numbers over and over again with the black vote, that they have given so much narrative and political space to any dark face that can begin to draw in black votes.
And...suddenly...white progressives in Austin combine with DNC forces to steal a Senate seat from an accomplished black woman in favor of a mediocre white man who loses a winnable race?

It's been shown that when there's a clear racial preference in a Democrat primary and the black choice loses, black turnout goes down by about 10%.
I'd call that a baseline for what will happen in Texas.
But, don't worry, the Austin white progressives who vote in literally every election will also vote for Talarico, meaning that Democrats will, on net, just lose voters.

Of course Jasmine put on a ghetto act to appeal to her district voters and that was probably a hindrance for winning a statewide race. It would have probably played much better for the podcast or possible TV career if she had won the primary. As it is the racism charge is attached to the DNC, so they'll probably not embrace her.

Not wanting to insult 'ette's who have nail art just because I don't, as many women do this that I know.
I tell my husband this is why I spend so much $ on my hair every couple of months (or see an esthetician once a year as I am in reality saving money).
I've had one mani/pedi in my entire life before son's wedding. I did not like that Korean woman messing with my feet. I can paint my own nails, thanks, and not worry about what I am exposing myself to. I know I am weird and don't care!
Anyway, I note Crockett has the claws of discomfort and often wonder about bathroom habits or anything else like an itching eye with the claws. I wear gloves to garden and assume she does not garden, sew, paint or anything else involving fingers. Heck, how do you type on a laptop. I'd be yanking those off within a day.
I note in the last photo her little fingernail has a red tip vs the others. Why? To disguise her snorting cocaine with it? Is it a signal? Did someone goof?

Because self-interest is okay for any other demographic other than white and straight.
If you're not white and straight, your self-interest can be your entire politics.
But even if you're not white and straight, you're self-interest is still not allowed to be about finance.
That's just selfish.

I agree.
Democrats are racists.
It was racists who voted for Talarico
It was racists who told Talarico to run.
It was racists who took her nomination and gave it to Talarico.
BTW, shouldn't it be "Talaricix" so we don't assume they/thems gender?

6 million Democrats who voted for white man Joe Biden in 2020 refused to vote for strong, black woman Kamala in 2024.
The Democrat Party needs to make it even more obvious that racism against black women isn't acceptable within their ranks, and that any opposition to any black female candidate is racism that's worse than murder.

Dunno. Simply that Duverget's law indicates that when one party disintegrates, in a majority first past the post system, another party will come along.
The persistence of the Democrat party rests in its college educated and wealthy elites ironically centered in the old heartland of the Federalist party plus the left coast. It might be like the Federalist Party's death; as the basis for that party becomes too narrow to continue as a successful mass party.
This is especially so if the welfare clients start dropping off the twig by being deported or otherwise becoming gainfully employed.

I don't like many of Talarico's ideals and can't get myself to vote for him.
Talarico supports abortion because it’s objectively better for the well being of society. Why are you anti Muslim? Are you racist? Islamophobic? Not very Christ like of you. You’re anti trans too? Talarico’s beliefs are much more in line with those of Jesus than yours are. Be better.
Conservatism is a cult, my friend, and it's sad to see what it's done to so many innocent children like you. Let go of the fear you have that other people will get something you don't think they deserve. That different groups of people than you're used to will have power.
This is why people don’t like conservative Christians. You’ll never put other people’s well being first and you’ll vote for the most despicable human beings on earth and claim it’s for ethical reasons. Fuck your individualist, psychopath mindset that centers yourself and your dollar above all else. Jesus did have radical empathy.
Sister, I’d say please read the whole book of Matthew (again?) from beginning to the end and note everything Jesus taught. See if it changes your perspective on both of them.

The actual effort to measure is, of course, pointless. It's an exertion of authority, mostly about who can cow the others into silence.
And with trannyism falling out of favor, there's literally no one else to claim the top spot anymore.
And black women have gotten really radical in their rhetoric. It's a good thing that the population they imported to replace the white race doesn't consider itself white and won't take the whole anti-white rhetoric badly.

Tyler Robinson appeared to panic and sweat as a part of recorded testimony from his trans lover Lance Twiggs was played in court.
Twiggs, wearing a suit with long hair, appeared deadpan as he rattled off details about the morning of Charlie Kirk's murder in a recorded interview with officials.

More gimmedats than fear. Fear is just the pretext to loot the government. A lot of single females marry the government, a fair number of minorities use government to get jobs and bennies over more qualified types in DEI, a chunk of gays want to be perverts and screw kids, etc. etc.
The Democrat coalition is all about screwing the normies--straights, whites, married, normies, and they cry out in fear as they hit you repeatedly.

In all of the media they consume, not just mainstream but especially "black," they are portrayed as 50% or more of the population.
Not 13%--50% or more.
So, that all elected offices are not at least 50% black-held is by itself proof of racism.
But good lord, imagine living in that toxic stew so far distorted from actual reality?

I do think a second order effect of Callais (ending racial gerrymandering) is going to be the diffusion of the black vote.
It'll start with lower turnout ("no one to vote who looks like me" at the federal level) and progress towards less obvious partisanship as blacks have to look beyond the racial angle to engage in politics.
It'll take a while. Years. Maybe a generation.
But I think it could be an effect.

And that is why trial by jury no longer works if people base their decisions on anything other than the law and the facts in the case before them.
Same with most of our other institutions--S. Africa inherited the British legal system and massive wealth and yet in a mere space of thirty some odd years has destroyed all of that due to revenge, greed, envy, and every other cardinal sin.
Same dynamic exists in every major city nowadays in the US, only slower and ditto for Euroland once they opened their borders to Turd Worlders.

I fell in love once with a gold-digger when I was broke-ass in my mid-20s just out of college (couldn't even afford a used car).
I took her to the famous Peppermill restaurant in Las Vegas (another thing I couldn't afford), and expressed my undying love.
I have to admit that -- although taken aback -- I appreciated her honesty: she told me straight-up that I had neither the wealth nor income to properly take care of her and her needs.

I've come to really appreciate the gym girl booty. The one that takes a lot of RDLs, split squats, and hip thrusts to build. It's very nice. Especially if they have a nice slim waist.
If you're talking about the fat black girl booty, I totally agree. Gross.

If the government grant system was used to prop up ghetto culture (no rap song being in the top 50 for the first time in decades is apparently a potential sign), then the loss of it could shift things over time.

She's simply playing to her base. Because her upbringing is as far from the projects as one can get. Movin' on up to the east side? She was born on the East Side.
Crockett was born in St. Louis to Rev. Joseph Crockett and Gwen Crockett. She attended Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School and Rosati-Kain Academy.
She graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts in business administration from Rhodes College.
She attended Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University prior to graduating from the University of Houston Law Center in 2006 with a Juris Doctor.

They finally get it built, and it becomes a "club house" for all the homeless in the city (sorry...."unhoused"). They show up every morning...make themselves at home enjoying the airconditioning, and taking advantage of the free internet (which they monopolize all day long so that no one else can use the computers).

We had Burgess Owens, a black man, in my old congressional district. He was a Republican. He replaced Mia Love, a black woman Republican, in my old district.
Due to the forced Democrat redistricting, Owens has retired so we will get a white male.
Just what Democrats, who are totally not racist, demanded!
By the way.... the stuff our local leftists say about Mia Love before she died and about Owens now is straight from the 1850s Democrat party. As is expected.

A Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area is fining parents for their out-of-control kids.
The owner of Chez Xue says he has had enough of poorly behaved children in his restaurant, so he is now fining parents.
You You Xue says one customer changed a dirty diaper next to another customer who was dining.
"We are not a playground. Please ensure children REMAIN SEATED at all times and respectful of fellow guests and the dining environment," the restaurant's policy says.
"Running around, shouting, making noise with utensils, etc. WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!"
One parent was charged $327 after their child smashed a credit card machine.
Another parent was charged $109 after their kid carved designs into a table with a utensil.
One more parent was charged $5 after a child smashed a teacup.
"I honestly put this notice on my menu because I didn't want to put my employees in the position of parenting other people's children. It should not be their job," the owner said.
This guy is awesome.

Will never understand this, either. I figure they drool like I do after a dentist torture.
It's never occured to me to have needles filling anything, ever. And not just because I'm now olde as I don't look my age. I know I'd have bad luck and the filler would migrate to my forehead like Prince Hazbeen's Forehead Lipoma.
Again, if removed, do you have flappy lips for the rest of your life if you don't seek a plastic surgeon? Once something stretches it might not bounce back to normal. I think that's part of physics (or should be).

Graham Platner Officially Withdraws From Position as Sturmgruppefuhrer of the Maine Democrat Party
I saw, I think, Chicks on the Right discussing Platner's plans from the future. They think -- and I think they're right -- that he's going to immediately cash in by starting a (get this) podcast, and he's chumming the water with antisemitic conspiracy theories to get the reliably unemployed-and-available-to-watch Tuq'r Qarlson/Candace Owens/Me-Again Kelly Nazi audience.
He blames unnamed "large forces" conspiring to drive him out of the race by spreading lies. If it's a lie, why drop out? Maybe because he's been told the Racicot rape allegation will be the first, not the last, rape allegation coming. Bear in mind, Racicot is a leftist who agreed with Graham Platner politically. She had an incentive to make her allegation public before the deadline to withdrawal. The Republican Party, on the other hand, has been sitting on its oppo until after the deadline. More was coming. I hope it still all comes out. Because, seriously, I agree with the Woke Left: #PunchANazi.And yet you're dropping out, as if they have you dead to rights.
SULLIVAN, Maine -- Accused rapist Graham Platner finally announced he is bowing out of the Maine Senate race Wednesday with a long-winded video statement, blaming everyone but himself for his campaign's implosion. He called out "large forces," "corporate media" and the "political establishment" for trying to force him out of the race. "We believe that for the movement to continue, it can't be me. And for that reason we are suspending campaign operations," Platner said in a video announcement posted on X.
... "I just want to make it clear this is all false. The things that have been claimed did not happen. It's not real," he said in the X video.
There is no other way to view it, Herr Rapist.
Platner argued the Democratic establishment used the rape allegation "as an excuse to take away all of the things that we need to run a campaign."
... "This was the last week to try to get me off of the ballot. And that's why this is occurring," Platner charged. Platner went on to urge the public not to view his decision to withdraw from the race as "an admission of guilt."
"It most certainly is not. We're not doing it because of the allegations. We're doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power," he said.He means the Democrat's senate campaign slush fund announced it would spend zero dollars to support Platner's campaign. But he still has a lot of supporters -- and anyway, the party committees actually don't spend very much on most candidates. That's why Mitch McConnell was always recruiting liberal millionaires to run for Senate, he wanted them to be self-financing (and also, liberal RINOs).
Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman blasted Platner after his announcement. "The trash took itself out tonight," he bluntly told Fox News. "Now finally people in Maine have a chance to vote on someone that's not a total piece of trash." Just hours after the latest rape claims, Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) issued a joint statement denouncing Platner. "The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing -- violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable," it said. "Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins. The DSCC [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee] will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot." ... Platner lashed out at those who abandoned him and pulled his financial support. "We are going to lose our ability to fundraise. We are going to lose our ability to access voter data. We are going to lose all of the things that any campaign needs on the basic level simply to function," he bemoaned. "Larger organizations, the national level party, the bigger donor networks -- they have all committed to spending no money in this race if I'm in it," Platner continued. "They would rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next senator from Maine," he said.People were unimpressed by this High-T Super-Male's whiny, self-pitying Twitter Flounce.
The failed candidate uploaded the "woe is me" clip announcing his withdrawal after a woman he previously dated, Jenny Racicot, publicly alleged that he drunkenly raped her at her Maine home in 2021 despite her repeated pleas to stop. He denied the allegation. "This video is more embarrassing than the Nazi tattoo," Emily Zanotti, a friend of one Platner's exes accusing him of misconduct, tweeted. "Graham Platner announces the real victim in all of this is Graham Platner," right-wing influencer Western Lensman posted on X. "Saved you 11 minutes." "TLDR: Campaign suspended and a whole bunch of bluster," read a post from the Chicks on the Right X account. ... The failed candidate's lack of self-awareness throughout the video, as well as his insistence that his ex-girlfriend was lying about being raped by him, left many stunned and puzzled. "It is not the establishment's fault that your ex lover accused you of raping her," political consultant Micah Erfan noted. "Narcissistic sociopath," conservative radio talk show host Larry O'Connor said in response to Platner's video.

With gentle hand caresses listlessly
The contour of her breasts before she sleeps.
On velvet backs of avalanches soft
She often lies enraptured as she dies.
And gazes on white visions aloft
Which like a blossoming to heaven rise ...

I can see a date of mine telling me that and I'd have a sudden and violent food poisoning threat come on and demand to be taken home.

What a gut punch fr. There's no way the Republican oppo would not have found this. Shame on him for saying there's nothing else
Plattner's represented a complete failure of the democratic party. Mainers were willing to vote for Plattner's platform despite his red flags, not because of them. This would not be a conversation if Schumer's priority was winning the senate majority instead of beating his left flank.
Platner’s appeal was that he was winning. Now that he is dropping out, we can shut up about it and get behind somebody else who has a chance. But if Susan Collins keeps her seat because of this, that is a disaster.
Troy Jackson can win. If it isn't him, Maine isn't serious
So 600 Democratic party establishment insiders are going to pick the candidate? Mainers will be pissed. It's Biden/Harris all over again.

It's this. I said this over the last few days: Platner was their attempt to butch up the brand. They desperately wanted to change the direction they see their brand as going as just rapey twinks and child molesters.
We have seen elements of this with that retarded 'expert' who was a woman who was supposed to be telling them how to appeal to straight dudes again.
At least theoretically, Platner was a more genuine version of this. But he's also a fake in that he is a degenerate (and I do not mean sexual, per se) version of masculinity. He's needlessly combative, fragile ego, pampered and immature. THEN there is the sexual stuff. This is true for all of the progressive male icons (Hasan is another example in almost exactly the same mold.)
The thing is their versions are missing the essential aspects of masculinity (Stoicism, wisdom, calmness, decisiveness. Gravitas.) They are without the things that actually appeal to dudes.

In the run up to the trial,he loudly proclaimed his innocence and said it was all a conspiracy against him. At trial and under oath, however, the story suddenly changed to “Da bitches be axin’ for it! Dey loved it!!”

The DNC knew about Platner.

Even white men with Nazi tattoos will ultimately fold to Chuck Schumer, Democratic King of the Israel lobby in America.
There's only one thing for the DSA to do:
Purge all white men from their ranks and just let the world know the truth about how all white men are racist traitors who want genocide.

Kurt Schlichter had a good column on this today. He's been very hit-or-miss lately, but he was right about this.
As I've been saying, the rise of the DSA commies isn't about ideology. They think no different than the existing Dums.
This is about power -- about a younger generation of commie shitstains trying to seize power from a (much) older generation of commie shitstains.
The "DSA" is just a rebrand of the same failed product to try to con the rubes.

That story is so maddening it warrants a post. New York woman dragged her 13-year-old daughter to Ireland to be with her asylum-seeking Muslim boyfriend. Posts a bunch of TikToks with him while she's shooting this "fuck you I've got mine" smile that social media chicks have perfected. The daughter found her body.

My granddaughter will be thirteen in a few months, and I can't help but feel so bad for the poor girl.
My daughter and granddaughters are currently on a road trip to the UP of Michigan for the next two weeks. To say I'm not happy about her being in Michigan is an understatement. Not to mention homicidal illegal immigrants at the wheels of 80,000 pound missiles.
If she had tried to take them to Ireland to shack up with some muslim dude, law enforcement would be involved, because Gammy would absolutely lose it.

I don't think it's a theory, and I don't think it requires any blackmail follow-up.
Of COURSE they knew about Platner. He was an out and proud Nazi. His social media posts were all public. His Kik account was public and active. They all knew from the very beginning. It's not that they wanted leverage. It's that they truly believe that's how conservative men are. This led them to believe Platner would appeal to conservative men.

I am a fast whizzer. I think the last sort of port o potty was at a national park and more of an outhouse. Which is plenty gross in the summer.
It would never occur to me to think, "This is the perfect time to ease my sexual tension."
Which reminds me that in a college letter to my parents I mentioned "sexual tension" about a cousin going schizo and laughed hysterically when I read it again last year. I had no idea, first of all, what I was talking about. And I assume it was not read at the dinner table with my 5yr old brother (who could not yet read cursive).
She save all of my letters from the West, including one where I was mad at bf/husband and hoped I never saw him again.

But he'll raise no more than a couple million dollars and never even be included in polling.

"BANGOR, ME — In the wake of the Democratic nominee suspending his Senate campaign, local Nazi Wade Marks expressed regret over getting his Graham Platner tattoo.
Marks reportedly obtained the chest tattoo after a drunken evening down at the Nazi hangout, but maintained that he didn't know the dark meaning of Graham Platner.
"It really makes me look bad," sighed Marks. "I'm telling you, I didn't know at the time what a tattoo of Graham Platner really meant, how bad it was. I would never have done it. I'm thinking about getting a massive swastika tattoo to cover it up and restore my good name..."

It's white progressives who are downwardly mobile because their promises of sinecures did not come to fruition.
I saw actual data last week that DSA leadership tends to be almost 100% white women looking to date Palestinians in Ireland. DSA *candidates* are hand-picked for maximum virtue signalling: Muslim and/or black and ideally women. Platner was not an official DSA candidate, as I understand it; they refused to back him because Pale Penis Person.

The DSA is one of the branches of thugs that might get some funds but has no handles on the levers of power. Other groups have that - the pervs, the transes, the black women's lobby but the DSA are trying to cut in to be more than just the hired help.

I don't know what Maine law is on exactly what the candidate needs to do to be replaced. I don't know if "suspending" a campaign -- as opposed to formally withdrawing your candidacy -- is enough to trigger a replacement.
We'll see. I would not surprise me at all if this vile leech comes back next week and says "ha ha ha, you stupid fuckers. You can't replace me, I didn't formally drop out!"

According to Brave AI, a public announcement does not suffice -- it also does not count to merely 'suspend' a campaign, but that's redundant with the lack of process -- and yes he's still on the ballot.
It even cited the formal requirement, recent precedent, and a current announcement by the Deputy Secretary of State to that effect. The machines are getting really, really good at this.

The Morning Rant
2 Flock cameras 'intentionally cut down' in South Carolina town amid nationwide camera controversy
Young People Are Destroying 'Flock Safety Cameras' In Viral Trend Far be it for me to suggest anything illegal, but I sure hope some freedom-loving patriotic American is on the jury for that Air Force engineer. If you are curious about the locations of the these cameras, here is a website that tracks them. deflock.org seems like it works pretty well...I checked one in my area this morning, and yup! it was where they said it would be. Luckily not in my little village, but near enough to irritate! Like the arguments against the Second Amendment...banning guns will make us all safer! I don't care. Even if that were true (and I do not believe that it is), freedom and liberty are inherently chaotic, and we must tolerate some level of law breaking as a consequence of our freedom. That tradeoff is absolutely part of the social compact among free men, and to argue against it is to reject the concept of natural, God-given rights. [Hat Tip: dhmosquito]

From some report on the London system, the operators mostly use it to check out hot chicks and keep an eye on who is drawing money out of banks and ATMs

- The database access isn't just limited to LE, anyone with a subscription license can search it. It isn't cheap either.
- The cameras (video recorders) are popping up in unusual places; playgrounds, public parks and swimming pools, shopping centers, etc. In some cases they are not pointed at the parking lot, but rather at a store front, the kiddie pool or children's playground.
Some speculate the number of p3d0's with access to the system isn't insignificant. And they use it to case certain areas for later "activity." Others say it's just security precautions. It certainly can be both.
Our little town has several. And a budget of around $70K for licensing, data access and the equipment. Far more than the public works dept. has available.

Third person doctrine and a distortion of Katz ruling which is the current 4th amendment standard of reasonable expectation of privacy. Computers were not advanced back then to allow a continuous dossier to be compiled of citizen movements, almost 24-7 in real time and for later perusal. Between cell phone geolocation, Flock cameras, and police being able to access text messaging, email, call records, and all spending/banking information without a warrant, then the shreds of privacy left scarcely prevents police from focusing on disliked individuals and then trying to find the crime.
Just this week, several GA police officers were fired and criminally charged for misuse of Flock camera information and I suspect that is the tip of the iceberg.
Like Alito said in another case involving trackers, there should be a mosaic theory of warrants because technology advances have shredded the old Katz std.

Nothing is more obscene to the statist and communists in black robes than the idea that the people should be able to move freely about.
And nothing has done more abuse to the 4th Amendment than their personal animosity toward the freedom of motorists.
It's not too far a stretch to read their opinions with an air of "well of course the police should be able to stop anyone anywhere in any car for any reason--the police are angels doing the Lord's work against those evil-doers who dare think they can drive on our roads."

No, they don't. Flock cameras are run by a third party and police subscribe to that service as a customer and thus can access it. Under the 4th Katz ruling, if you are in public, then you have a much lessened expectation of privacy. Those justices never contemplated today's technology where computers rather than cops can follow you around 24-7 without coffee breaks, overtime, etc.
Same with cops subscribing to other commercial databases to find out all they can about you including social media.
Telecom usually requires a subpoena which is NOT a warrant, simply a formalized request by the police to the telcom company for geolocation, text message content, and pen register of calls made and received. Ditto for email and banking information.

They should end qualified immunity anyway.
Force cops to have to INDIVIDUALLY carry liability insurance. Same as other professionals.
Too many claims and the insurance company will drop them. No insurance, no work. No ability to change departments.
Most cops go through their entire careers without being sued for civil rights violations.
Those that are legitimately sued? There's no reason the city/citizens should have to pay for it.
And maybe, just maybe, it'll force cities and counties to hire qualified individuals.

You pretty much sumarized Carroll v. US. Brave AI summary as I am lazy today,
"Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132 (1925), is a landmark Supreme Court decision that established the automobile exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. The Court held that law enforcement officers may conduct a warrantless search of a vehicle if they have probable cause to believe it contains contraband or evidence of a crime.
The ruling centered on the inherent mobility of automobiles, which creates exigent circumstances making it impractical to secure a warrant before the vehicle can be moved out of the jurisdiction. "

I agree. First, no non-cop should be able to claim qualified immunity and that means bureaucrats. Rehnquist court in a mistake, created the qualified immunity standard from whole cloth in order to stop endless lawsuits on cops but it created almost absolute immunity instead for all bureaucrats. Distorted version of the Scotus ruling in Dalehite v. United States (1953) (Texas City ship explosion), where Scotus ruled that the Federal Tort Claims Act did not override US Sovereign immunity (federal inspector of the fertilizer that caused the explosion in Texas City harbor was sued.)
In reality, it appears the extremely hot weather liquified a lot of the ammonium nitrate and the delays in loading and shipping probably caused the disaster rather than the inspector.

That applies to the device that they hold in their hand, they can get an administrative subpoena directly to the telcom provider and get that directly from the telcom industry except for the apps loaded perhaps. Riley was not as a big of a decision that Roberts, the poser he is, claimed in his ruling.
Read Smith v. Maryland (1979) which regards what the cops can get by administrative subpoena from your telcom and understand that under the third person doctrine, your banking records, call records, texts, emails, the websites you visit,commercial purchases, do not require warrants for third parties to hand over to the cops. They do require warrants if the cops come and seize your own equipment. So they bootstrap the subpoena information into a warrant application. And voila, probable cause.
Scotus is mainly doing whack a mole on particular applications but avoiding the nasty question of technology.

No matter how much the Karens and the state claimed it, red light cameras do not reduce traffic accidents.
For the slight reduction in t-bone collisions, they significantly increase rear-end collisions.

Which all lives forever.
And can be subpoenaed by the state if they need it.

No, they just released a decision that requires fencing an area and going through all the cell phone data within a geolocated area requires a warrant. Goes to the specificity of the claim.
Basically telcoms (or any other business), as a third party, can hand over your data because it is no longer 'private' under Supreme Court rulings. Same as sharing spoken intentions of a crime with a third person, you cannot bar the third person (with some rare exceptions) from telling the cops about it. Same goes for billing information, geolocation data, even what tv programs you watch, and so on--if you share information with a company of any sort, then it can be obtained by a subpoena, not a warrant.
You can try to quash the subpoena information in court but the police have already got the information. Usually, you get no notification of a subpoena until and unless you get charged. Less in nat sec cases.

End to end encryption generally makes that worthless for cops but not always. What is crueler is the frequent use of Stinger fake cell phone towers to bulk intercept data by cops. Often, cops drop a case whenever that comes up as a source of data due to nat sec protections demanded by the company providing the data to the cops.

It finally settled down. The county has 169 cameras in view. (Flock safety 40; Axis Communications 6; IMotorola Soluations 4; Other 1, and 118 unknown.) In my area, they're primarily in the Wal-Marts, Targets, Home Depot, and Lowe's parking lots, and then dotted along major roads and highways.
They're much less likely in the very finest areas. But, again, I'm seeing the 'In View' category.
Agencies in VA, OH, TX, NC, CA, around Chicago, and a few others appear to have the most public cameras, but that's a small percentage. (Hidden is the great percentage.)
I wonder who the people are who do edits on the cameras? Some cameras may have one edit, others many.
Thanks.

Our taxes paid for it.
Taxes the government confiscated from me.
I've said it before, can you imagine telling the Founders:
Well, you're going to need to register your horse with the county.
And pay an annual fee to the county for your horse.
On top of the tax you paid the county when you bought the horse.
And you will have to have your horse inspected every year to make sure it's safe to ride on the road.
And, of course you can't ride your horse on the road without a horse-rider's license.
The roads you paid your taxes to build and maintain.
And you have to renew that horse-riders license regularly and pay another fee to the county for that renewal.
And every bale of hay for your horse will have a special tax to pay for and maintain those road.
And because you're on the roads your taxes paid for, the police can stop you at any time for any reason and search you and your horse.
And you need to insure your horse in case you run into other horses.
and on and on...

Taught Criminal Procedure for years and ironically some of the cops (or wannabe law enforcement types) dropped the course because they thought I was anti cop and others dropped because they thought I was pro cop. All over in the first class telling students that they had to protect their own rights and not expect cops to do so.
Over the years, you end up collecting a lot of students asking for assistance and I kept a roster of lawyers (often former students) that I would direct them to for individualized legal counsel.
I also made sure they knew the State Constitutional law which in some cases, exceeds the federal protections of rights.

In your state and perhaps if you live in a mega city, around that city as well, there are Fusion Centers where state, local, and federal law enforcement can access commercial, local, state, and federal information to investigate and/or prevent crimes.
Sometimes this includes nat sec items like Stinger fake cell phone information, satellite imagery, etc. and these were designed way back in the 00 or late 90's to prevent terrorism in the US. Highly secretive and you will never really hear about these unless you have reason to know.

Lots of video and stories of police coming to someones house and pushing or otherwise disabling the cameras so that what they do is not recorded. To me this is vandalism, as the courts have stated that a consensual visit has the same expectations from the police as if from anybody else, which means if you can charge someone manhandling and damaging your cameras for vandalism, you can also charge the police...

I have had two unpleasant experiences in that regard. On a road trip I had my ham radio walkie-talkie lying on the seat of the car while driving, scanning sundry bands. This is common practice among hams. The intent is to make contact with other amateur operaters.
In theory, ham radios are blocked from receiving cell frequencies. Mine, purchased used, had been unblocked. I did not know this. Abruptly, I was listening to a very private, and painful, cell phone call. I could not switch it off fast enough. You may recall that Newt Gingrich had a private cell call intercepted in an overt monitoring of his calls.
My second unintentional experience was while tuning a receiver for use on the public service band for emergency purposes. Suddenly, I was listening to a private conversation. It took me a moment to realize that it was apparently nearby neighbors, and I was picking up their baby monitor. Again, I couldn't kill the coms quickly enough to be comfortable.

Yes. Police can actually be charged with trespassing if they do not leave after repeated demands by the resident that they do so. And criminal damage. The problem with doing so is of course retaliation from the blue badge gang. One poor sod, I think in Missouri around St. Louis, got special attention from the cops that escalated into a major court case of harassment. Can't remember all the details but it started when the guy started filming people with police encounters which in public, is legal.

OBJECTION!
HOAs *ARE* government. They're just at a local level. More local than your state, your city, your township.
But just because they're tiny, doesn't mean they don't have the same risks as government. It's just that there's way fewer seats and positions available, and the people that gravitate to those few positions, like moths to a flame, are usually the people you DON'T want anywhere near the levers of power.
Also, much like the axiom about academics, HOA politics are vicious simply because of the lower stakes. Having your nation invaded by a warlike neighbor is a heavier concern than whether your lawn is 6 cm or 8 cm. But those with the tiny bit of power they have will spend too much time and money to make sure YOU never let a blade of grass get to 6.1 cm.

If we want to get our rights back, then horrible punishment of criminals including widespread death penalty and lengthy incarcerations without any tripe of conjugal visits will be necessary for two or three generations. It will take that to prune away the criminal class to a manageable size by a) preventing them from breeding more criminals, b) preventing more crimes as super criminals commit a disproportionate amount of crimes--roughly 2 percent or so of the US population, and c) it breaks up the multi generational pathology creating literal crime families where criminal activity is normalized. (The killer on the Charlotte tram is an example of such intergenerational crime--the father was a murderer himself for example and all the kids had lengthy criminal records.)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and health departments across the country use wastewater surveillance as an early warning system to track infectious diseases, including measles.
They've been able to pinpoint measles and much more surprising well in the region.

Eh, the widespread use of Amazon and Google internal cameras, phones that listen, Alexa, etc. school cameras, etc. has probably numbed them to any advantage of privacy. Same with oversharing on social media.
I don't think today's kids 'get' privacy other than as something to hide from parents rather than the cops.

I'm a retired IT guy... and I've been trying to figure out how those data centers will be even close to breaking even, let alone profitable. There are not enough 'Pay For' services to fill them... soooo... the profit centers have to be something else...
Like aggregating even more data about us, and selling it... just like what now partly supports search engines.
As the saying goes, if you are not the paying customer, something about you is the product... these data centers will need product.

The correct action for the agency is to request copies of the raw films, not harass.
Posted by: Kindltot at July 09, 2026 12:23 PM (rbvCR)
Yes. Police can actually be charged with trespassing if they do not leave after repeated demands by the resident that they do so. And criminal damage. The problem with doing so is of course retaliation from the blue badge gang. One poor sod, I think in Missouri around St. Louis, got special attention from the cops that escalated into a major court case of harassment. Can't remember all the details but it started when the guy started filming people with police encounters which in public, is legal.

The only data centers that will survive are the ones that are subsidized. The rest are mostly a real estate scams and financialization scams.
On the other hand, some of the largest ones planned are twice the size of Manhattan, in the boonies, and I start thinking about the Weathermen's argument that there would have been a need for large concentration camps to intern all the Americans in the deserts in the Southwest that would object to the new way the Weathermen would bring when they took power

The cop said she did it and used the Flock footage as defacto proof of guilt, like hey, it wasn't his decision, the cameras show it, talk to the hand!

Unfortunately, if she even slightly resembled the camera image, she would probably be in jail if it went to a jury (without her contrary evidence).
I sat on a jury where the defendant was convicted (despite my vote -believe it or not, Oregon can convict on some crimes with a 10 -2 jury vote) where the only evidence was the word of a coo who supposedly saw her in the back seat of a car, at night, with no interior light, while he was in the front seat making a drug deal.with the driver, for less than 3 minutes total, and who "recognized" her 4 months later meeting her in an unrelated manner.
One *stereotype alert* little old lady on the jury actually said "If she wasn't guilty, I don't think the cop would have arrested her"!
The presumption of innocence is going to take a back seat to confidence in mechanical accuracy.

In the UK, the government was starting to institute speed cameras everywhere. The public wasn't too enthused, especially since it wasn't for safety, but for fines. Some enterprising folks decided to take it upon themselves to shut down the cameras by placing a tyre over the machines. And then set the tyre on fire.
This was probably around 2010 or so. I remember reading a few articles about it back then. I guess the government got tired of their subjects objecting to being subjected to such heavy-handedness. So they replaced said subjects with imports from elsewhere.

*For those not familiar, skip-trace companies assist in locating people for private detectives and repossession companies. According to the guy I know who worked for one ~10 yrs ago-the system would alert him to a hit and the client looking for that vehicle, he'd pull up the feed to verify and send the info to the client. He sometimes was able to see the actual repossession occur, tow truck would get there fast enough.

Over to the left, there's a dog's head, looking kind of like Mickey Mouse's Goofy with a party hat on. A cartoonish toucan-like creature is just to Goofy's right, and a poached egg partly hiding a Mardi Gras mask. And in front of the skull there is something that reminds me of a vulture.
Just below the toucan is a human figure that looks like the Broadway actress of the '50s and '60s, Tammy Grimes.
See? Lotsa fun!

Arshile Gorky
The ambiguous title merges visceral bodily organs with agricultural imagery to symbolize passion, the artist's unconscious, and themes of male fertility and vanity. 🙄
Wikipedia, "Along with Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning, Gorky has been hailed as one of the most powerful American painters of the 20th century. Gorky's experience as a survivor of the Armenian genocide had a crucial influence on his work...."
In 1908, his father emigrated to the United States to avoid the draft, leaving his family behind in the town of Van.[4] In 1915, Gorky fled Van amidst the Armenian genocide and escaped with his mother and three sisters into Russian-controlled territory. In the aftermath of the genocide, his mother died of starvation in Yerevan in 1919. Arriving in America in 1920, at the age of 16, Gorky was reunited with his father, but they never grew close.[5]
In 1935, Gorky became one of the first artists employed by the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project.
On July 21, 1948, after telling a neighbor and one of his students that he planned to commit suicide, Gorky was found hanged in his studio.

The liver's an amazing machine
It makes bile and keeps your blood clean
But you're bound to be f*cked

Arshile Gorky
The ambiguous title merges visceral bodily organs with agricultural imagery to symbolize passion, the artist's unconscious, and themes of male fertility and vanity. 🙄

Bought the daughter a used car. It's in good condition.
Owner didn't get it inspected and it was due last month.
Test drove it, it was fine, A/C worked ok.
Can't get the title transferred without insurance or current inspection.
Yesterday, starting it for the first time in a couple weeks, it threw multiple codes. O2 sensors........
After I replaced the main heater blend door actuator because I never changed it from A/C to Defrost during the test drive.

Socialist realism is a Marxist-Leninist aesthetic doctrine that mandated art, literature, and music to glorify the socialist state, promote the proletariat, and celebrate communist ideals. Enforced by Joseph Stalin, it required an optimistic, heroic portrayal of everyday Soviet life while strictly banning pessimistic or critical elements.

I think it's dumb, but here's the rationale: IU measures effect not quantity. Since the same vitamin from different sources (i.e., natural vs. synthetic) have different potency, different weights can yield the same IU, and this is supposedly "handy" for people.
I would prefer the bottle to say "take thus many mcg, 2x daily" because that's simpler for my brain to understand quickly.

Yale Law School Fights to Stop Trump Deal

The etymology of “coxcomb” traces back to the 14th century, derived from “cockscomb,” a term used to describe the fleshy crest on a rooster’s head. In Elizabethan England, this imagery became associated with jesters and fools, not merely because of their humorous antics but because of their significant role in revealing truths through absurdity.

Well, he decided to run jointly with Keisha Lance Bottoms running for governor and I think that is because some consultants are whispering in his ears about a national run in 2028. He has went all in on the progressive items these last couple of months after being radio silent for most of his term.
Joker in the deck is the Fulton County cheat machine being investigated for the 2020 election including his shocking win in the runoff. Perdue dropped just below 50 percent when all was done and suddenly Ossoff blows by him in the runoff.

The Morning Report — 7/ 9 /26
Good morning kids. Well, surprise surprise, Platner is out!They must've thrown a nice chunk of change to exit stage left. While he is truly one of the most vile pieces of human garbage in recent memory ever running for office, I suppose on a positive note it's a sign that the Democrat media/propaganda complex isn't nearly as powerful as it seems in protecting one of their own. Up and down the line every major and minor lefty in and out of government was praising this sick bastard to high Heaven, and you'd think they'd've kept their mouths shut if either they had known the extent of his record or otherwise felt they couldn't keep a tight enough lid on it.
Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner suspended his campaign Wednesday after a previous girlfriend accused him of sexual assault. Platner announced his exit two days after 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot accused him of forcibly having sex with her in 2021. The Maine Democrat was embroiled in several controversies, including his Nazi tattoo, inappropriate social media posts and his mockery of a veteran. “We are suspending our campaign operations,” Platner said in a video statement. “This is incredibly difficult because I know that some will think it’s an admission of guilt and it most certainly is not. We’re not doing it because of the allegations, we’re doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power. And I also feel an immense amount of responsibility to everyone who has worked so hard to get us where we are. We went toe to toe with one of the most entrenched political systems in the history of the world and we won.”On a down note, I will assume his departure regardless of who his replacement will be, if even he can be replaced on the ballot per Maine election laws, means that the hideous harridan backstabbing RINO Susan Collins will most likely win her bid for reelection and we'll be saddled with this RINO shitwhore for another six years of backstabbing Maine and America. Oh well... Have a good day,

Maybe not as rapidly and ruthlessly as we'd like but Cornyn, Massie and Cassidy just to name a few might disagree.
The really wild part of what happened in Maine isn't that Platner is out, it's that it took him actually raping a woman to finally get Democrats to pull the rip cord. This dirtbag shouldn't be a garbageman let alone a Senator but new and improved Democrats didn't care that he's a psycho, only that he has the right politics and can win. Which he wouldn't have anyway.

The current (D) platform is pretty much everything Platner stood for. It's why he had some notable backers at first. The only thing that soured the rank and file over there was that he was so vocal about it. Had he chilled out a bit I think he would have been fine.
As for the GOP... if its leadership had balls they'd be asking, publicly, about McConnell's situation. They'd be hammering the SAFE act holdouts. They'd be bitching about the judicial insurrection and making threats.

He gained lawful permanent resident status in November 2024, but is now in federal custody pending removal from the United States after Secretary of State Marco Rubio terminated his legal status.
In posts from his Instagram and Bluesky accounts, Alkhudari repeatedly expresses disdain for the United States and white people. In December 2025, he posted a cartoon of a brown-skinned individual preparing to set fire to the American-flag-cape draped over the shoulders of a woman dressed in red, white, and blue.

Let's not be so hasty to point the finger of ridicule. People still turn out in their millions to vote for Republicans who openly betray them at every single turn.
It's fewer than it used to be, and their base gets smaller as they get smarter, every passing year. But there's still a significant contingent who would vote for their local GOP buggerer after he kicked in their door, stripped off his shirt to reveal his big blue "D" tattoo, and then forcibly sodomized them at ax-point.
They'd say "it was just to show dominance, no homo. I'm guessing there must have been a Democrat hiding inside my ass, and he was just trying STOP HIS RADICAL AGENDA. With his dick."

The host mentioned that one Republican official spoke to McConnell for 45 minutes, but there’s just one problem—she was quoting a well-known online Republican parody account called ‘Rep.

Once again, we are in agreement.
Something I wonder about is how much of the current turbulence we are seeing is a result of Trump's war on the deep state that is largely invisible to us. We've been living under a shadow government funded and controlled by bureaucrats, NGOs and deep pocketed scumbags like Soros and Singham (CCP) for a long time. They've been buying politicians like trading cards for years and that explains many of the votes that otherwise seem inexplicable.
As much as Bernie whines about Ahligachs his movement is being funded to the tune of billions by rich and anit-American forces. All the fraud we are seeing being uncovered largely in blue areas was done for a reason. Same with flooding the country with illegals. Guys like Cornyn are the public face but there is a whole network of people and money behind them pulling strings.

The odds were high that the IRGC would violate the MOU peace deal. But why not try?
The IRGC reneged, as expected. But meanwhile the Israelis have had time to re-orient their spy network inside Iran onto new IRGC targets. And Trump can get kinetic from higher ground that it was the IRGC that violated the agreement.

It's called "branch plans" and while you can cook them up when designing the original operations plan, you also have to be flexible to adjust your approach as circumstances change.
There's this weird notion that every single feature of a multi-month operation should have somehow been planned out years in advance and that improvising on the fly is somehow bad and shows "lack of vision" or something. No, it's smart. Every great commander in history has had to improvise.
The reason we lost two wars over two decades is that our leaders refused to improvise and demanded 100 silde powerpoints showing how we were still winning.

Three with allergies - all different. One who is pregnant (and thus refusing some food b/c baby doesn't want it). And one with allergies who is also type 1 diabetic. And my daughter who wants veg to the max, and 2 female eaters who are the opposite, at least if they are intended as solo items.
Thankfully, the adults with allergies can handle the food being around and not touching it, so it's component dinner with tacos (ground beef and 2 beans) with tons of veg fixings and dairy fixings (that I will avoid).
The diabetic with egg, soy, and peanut allergies stumped me for dessert, but gonna be a 2 ingredient cake left uniced (diet cherry soda into dark chocolate cake mix - never done it with diet, but 1st time for everything)...gonna serve it with serve yourself homemade cherry pie filling, whipped cream, and coconut whipped cream - a make yourself dessert, and the diabetic can skip the pie filling...hope it works...

But Trump has showed that there was always another way - using our strength in a measured way to wear them down at minimal cost in lives and treasure. We are breaking them economically, and also trashing China and Russia.
The beauty is that this is sustainable indefinitely. Fuel prices will continue to decline as our oil production ramps up and more Venezuelan production is restored.
Iran, on the other hand, is unable to replace its missiles, air defenses and even its drone stocks are limited. China and Russia cannot reconstitute them this time. Hezbullah is cut off logistically as a result. This is not some stupid Wag The Dog gambit, it is a grinding siege that has the whole Middle East on our side.
Also: the part the media keeps ignoring is that recruiting is still going crazy. If this is such a defeat, why are people clamoring to join up?

Iran has an extensive internal security apparatus and they are much more fanatical than Romania's jaded Communists in 1989. They're going to have to be dismantled brick by brick. The long ceasefires are allowing more infiltration, better intel, and more precision strikes. People saying "keep bombing" have to deal with the fact that we may not have good targets. The pauses let us find more.
The whole Vietnam-era "just keep bombing the jungle" thing is so over.

I think this operation is a bit different. I think the DNC realized they can't just do it with one person like an Obama (possibly as long as Trump is around to deflate them) so they are going to torture America with this idea that there is some huge young energetic unstoppable communist "movement" sweeping the Democrat Party and the nation. The truth is they are the same old commies, in and out of the establishment.
I've outlined the shape of it here a bunch of times already, and likely will again, but that is what we are staring down the barrel of. They may yet find someone to carry the torch but I think he will be seen as someone who can comfortably be a mix of both establishment commie and regular commie. No one will feel left out and the animus that drives individuals to support Democrats will be fed and watered quite regularly.

Not at all. The military goals are clear and have been achieved. Iran's nuke program is a crater and their military power projection is pathetic, and neither can come back on our watch.
This is a siege. If Iran's government doesn't collapse, it won't matter once we have alternate pipelines and terminals in place and have replaced their production with ours. Then we bomb their wells and leave them to die.

Two of the targets taken out in bombings last night were the only two rail lines that led from Iran to Turkmenistan and from there China. That will go a long way towards preventing China from helping Iran rearm.
I agree that Trump is finally taking a new approach to breaking Iran and it seems a lot of people are uncomfortable with it though at the same time they offer no realistic alternative. The old ways have never given satisfactory outcomes. We don't know yet if this will work but it beats an invasion or just flattening and then having to deal with the outcome.

Back in 2016 I tripped over a spreadsheet that let you predict the election outcome. Importantly, it used state-by-state demographics so it fit with the Electoral College. It had cohorts: White College, White Non-College, Black, Hispanic, Asian. There's a large and still-growing divide between White College and White Non-College -- which is the largest cohort by far, more than 2x White College. And you could toggle for Turnout!
In March 2016, I used it and posted here that if Trump got a 5% boost in White Non-College turnout, he'd win with just over 300 EVs. Ace at the time was virulently anti-Trump and banned me for insolence.
Turnout. Turnout. Turnout.
The conventional wisdom is that the other party gains in the mid-terms. Trump's about to prove this wrong.

The federal government operates nearly 100 interrelated welfare programs, spread across 14 government departments and agencies, and nine budget functions.
Federal welfare spending costs taxpayers more than $1 trillion each year. Over the next decade, the federal government is projected to spend more than $12 trillion on welfare programs. This sum of aggregate spending doesn’t include the billions of dollars in state government contributions to federal welfare programs.

Iran's entire strategic value came from oil - pumping it and potentially blocking it. We are taking that away. New pipelines bypassing their reach are underway, and new production well away from them is coming on line.
These things are knowable, definable efforts. There are people watching the production curves and they have the lines already marked out.
When that happens, we can turn Kharg Island into scrap and mine Iran's ports, bomb the wells and leave them. Enjoy living in the stone age, losers.

It was very unlikely to occur at all, even less likely to succeed, and if by some miracle it somehow did, would have required a permanent American presence to sustain in power.
These people are not going to do it, and we can't make this quixotic dream a victory condition. That was retarded.
If - IF - regime change is a goal, we need to pick a suitable to warlord to run the show after collapsing this one, arm him to the teeth, back off, and let him swing his scimitar freely to maintain his rule.
Yes, he'll loot the country and oppress many civilians along with the ancien regime that oppressed their opponents before. So what? It's a possible outcome.
A free Iran run by its people through modern political constructs is not. Too many Muslims there. It's that simple. If you want that outcome, you'll need a genocide of Iranian Muslims first, and we ain't going there.

University professors are saying they're now unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. Their students are simply incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. This is civilizational. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings: Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them. Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history. We must continue to form new minds in this same model model if we're going to keep it."

Why do turbvines cause warming? At night, the ground cools down, making the air near the surface colder than the layers above. The turbine rotors disrupt this natural stratification, mixing the layers and forcing warmer air down to the surface, which warms and dries out the ground.

It never was. Some have inserted that goal and tried to make it Trump's but it never was.
Same hold true for Venezuela. Delcy Rodriguez was always a power behind Maduro and she is pretty much running things now and doing what she is told. And nobody cares.
The desired outcome from our perspective in Iran is an Iran that isn't threatening the world with nukes, isn't threatening Israel or regional states and generally plays by the rules when it comes to international order. It would be great if the mullahs left. It would be great if a number of despotic governments around the world fell. But nobody really spends much time caring about what they do internally as long as they aren't a threat to us, that's just a fact.

2) that if someone finally does, it will totally DESTROY him with the FACTS and LOGIC.
I still remember how giddy they were before the Biden debate in 2024, that Biden was such a master of facts and figures, such a skilled knife-fighting politician, that he was going to finally--FINALLY--confront Trump to his face an utterly crush him and make him cry.

“More info on the strategic target in Iran: The US attacked tonight the strategic corridor bridge of Iran to China and Russia. In the early morning, the United States attacked with cruise missiles the "Ak-Tekha-Khan" railway bridge in the Ak-Kala district of Golestan province. This is a strategic bridge that is part of the railway corridor connecting China, Turkmenistan, and Iran. Since last November, Russia has transported goods through this route, and the movement of freight trains from China has tripled following the naval blockade.”

============================
Did he? I know it was not a military goal, as laid out initially. I know he repeatedly said he would love it if the Iranian people killed off the mullahs. I heard him wish the regime would be gone. I never heard him instruct our military to do it, but I might have missed it. After awhile, I tuned him out.
Trump has to win the House elections if he can. I thought he was cruising to that goal until he went into Iran, so (given the political risk) he obviously thought it was more important than we knew. Now he's trying to skate a very thin line, downplaying Iran even while issuing those horrible-sounding threats he likes to bellow.

... the US War on Proverty has been going for 62 years
And the War on Normal People,
notwithstanding, the answer, quite simple.
1. Indict Brennan, he'll squeal, and his compromatees will drop ship him another canoe
2. Depose Dimon, for covering for Esptein and Brennan.
The three Emails: BirthdayBook, WallOfCash, IntelligenceLink -- if Brennan didn't know he wouldn't be very intelligent would he? culpable, absolutely.
Bonus Link: AviLoop, Epstein's the aviation-like website, "ready for takeoff"? only a faiiure of imagination could fail to understand what it was for -- and that's the Clinton-link. Epstein went to the WH 17 times, and discussing Monica at least 4 -- not a bit suspicious... just failure of imagination.
Misdirection, 9/10 thinking, until it isn't
LET's GO BRANDON.
TAKE THE RISK. FREE THE WORLD.
Brennan Undead and ctHARRIS/19 (now 25) will target each other in a conflagration worthy of PPV.

During the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Kamala Harris suspended her presidential campaign citing lack of financial resources. "In good faith, I can't tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don't believe I do. ..."
Platner also suspended his campaign primarily citing lack of financial resources and support. (Reportedly, $14 million of a $16 million pot spent; financial support from on high was falling well before the line of accusers.)

Technically, he's not out so if he doesn't officially quit by Monday, he stays on the ballot. (Whether he stays on the ballot depends on the filing rules.) However, Troy Jackson, Former Maine State Senate President and political ally of Platner, filed the paperwork to replace him.

Born of a 16 years old mother, raised Catholic. Wikipedia, in part, "In 1998, Jackson helped lead a logging blockade along the Maine–Canada border, with loggers from Maine physically blocking Canadian loggers from crossing the border at three border checkpoints."
"Opponents of the blockade said that using bonded foreign temporary workers under the U.S. federal H-2A visa program was legal and that it was also necessary, and that local workers by themselves could not satisfy all of the labor needs of the Maine wood industry.[9] Industry advocates also accused protest organizers of scapegoating Canadian laborers for macro-economic shifts and poor timber market conditions.[9]"
In June 2013, Jackson & Maine Governor Paul LePage engaged in dicey verbal exchanges. (Worth a glance.)
On January 25, 2015, Jackson was elected as a member of the Democratic National Committee.[31] This gave him a superdelegate vote at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. He was one of only a handful of

I'll believe they're serious when I see the biggest abusers in the dock: Microsoft, Google and Facebook.
Every damned one of them have imported thousands of H(half- assed coders)1-Bs. Even when any given guy is only here for a year, it's a net negative, because they go back home where they are hired in overseas sites for the companies. That revolving door is a continuous tech transfer to India (mostly).
There will still be those overseas sites even if we kill the entire H1B program, but they would be much smaller. If the H1B program had never existed, I don't think that any of those sites outside the US would have been established, but the genie is out of the bottle and now we're in damage control mode.

Top Story
- John Deere tractor owners and third party repair centers have been granted the same ability to repair the devices as the company's own service technicians under a 10 year agreement with the FTC. (AP News)
Doesn't mean they're repairable, just means the company can't forbid you to try.
- Speaking of settling Elon Musk has done so with the SEC over his purchase of Twitter back in the late Bronze Age. (Tech Crunch)
He was fined $1.5 million, which represents approximately thruppence in comparison to my own bank account.
Tech News
- Microsoft's share of the global desktop operating system market has fallen to just 56.5%. (Linuxiac)
Coming in second at around 20% is... Apparently something called "This survey is garbage".
- Grok 4.5 is here. (x.ai)
I noticed Grok having a stroke recently; no data lost but it had to reload all my documents and restart the conversation. That may have been the model switch.
Anyway, Grok is now smarter than Claude Opus but still not quite as smart as Claude Fable.
- AMD's upcoming Zen 6 10-core CPU squishes existing 10-core laptop models like the Ryzen 365. (WCCFTech)
But there's something a little odd here. The results show two core clusters, with four cores in the main cluster and six in the second cluster.
That would still be a laptop chip, because the 10-core desktop chips we're expecting will have a single core cluster. Given that, the performance increase of 29% single-threaded and 22% multi-threaded is more than respectable.
- Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting a star about 25 light years away. (Notebook Check)
Bit of a commute but it's in a good neighbourhood.

For us on Earth, it'd be more than a 50 year wait for word back from the planet after sending someone...for those on the ship, depending how fast they travel, it'll be less than 25 years to get there. Difficulty is how to get there safely. We can't see everything in the path, radiation is constantly a problem (and imagine the energy of a photon headed directly into a ship traveling at some percentage >1% of the speed of light)...
Not anything we can investigate with our fleshly bodies.

This house is one I looked at already, early in my search. But they have dropped the price quite a bit since. It has a main bedroom downstairs, and two smaller bedrooms carved out of the attic space. Garage, dining room, kitchen with pantry, and some yard space I'll have to see to. My notes from earlier are unclear as to what kind of heating it has; I know I don't want electric. I'm not sure why I passed on it before. Maybe because of the price then.

If you ever drive on the Autobahn, you might die of laughing at the exit signs while driving at over 100 mph.
I drove in a 100 mph traffic jam on the Autobahn out of Frankfurt back in the early 1980s. A traffic jam in that all the lanes were filled to the brim and everyone was bumper-to-bumper (maybe a yard distance between us). All the vehicles going at least 100 mph. My VW Rabbit at the time could barely do 100 mph if it slip-streamed another car.

And now when I open any link to an X post, it automatically redirects it, fully intact, to Nitter.

I picked up a Samsung Tab S10 lite for $235 when they are on sale at Amazon at the end of June. That is roughly a fair price given the current market conditions. That tablet is ione notch above the bottom and it has the Pogo pins so you can attach a non Bluetooth keyboard to it which I have done. I was able to find one for $88. So far it's working out as a very light duty PC that I can keep in the glove box. The current price on this tablet is it's somewhere north of $300 which is way too much money.
If all you're looking for is a basic tablet Lenovo often has their lower tier models on sale down in the $175 range. They are worth looking at.

I could point out that if your culture really believed the deities in control of reality could change the rules of reality on his/her/its/their whim, then why would your culture even think for a second that ferreting out the rules of reality was worth the effort.
I could then point out that the European view of the relationship between God and Man indicated that God wouldn't be such a dickhead (like me!) to change the rules so you couldn't figure anything out for the long term, so why fucking bother in the first place.
I could then point out that most scientific information comes from those societies that believe there's an underlying truth that can be found by observation because they don't believe some entity is maliciously changing the rules underneath them.
Or I can tell you that I don't really give a fuck what you think and aren't really interested in changing your mind.

Light is an electromagnetic wave, like radio waves are; just different wavelenghts/frequencies. Signals to or from the Voyager probes take 22hrs+ and 1day+ just to go one way. Also many experiments on measuring the speed of light; the time it takes for a laser to bounce off the moon and back is about 2.5 seconds.

Specifically, Musk was going to back out of the deal. The numbers weren't adding up regarding actual usage - automated bots posting fake content and adding fake likes. He wanted actual, real numbers, and the purchase price (something like $40+ billion, if I recall correctly) to reflect it or he was out.
Only, there was a huge penalty price if he did pull out. Not sure of the number, but tens of billions as a penalty if he didn't continue with the contract. The courts were going to make sure of that, at the time.
So, stuck with losing multiple billions for nothing, he went ahead. Bought it for the full, over-priced price. A price point for a company that would never make enough money to repay. So, it wasn't investment money anymore.
It was F. U. money at that point. He paid billions for a mass-media toy. And it's now his toy to play with.
They chose the form of their own destructor.

Wednesday Night ONT - July 8, 2026 [TRex]
How do you do, fellow kids? Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open and freshly re-stocked. Free refills!
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will reading the content help the sun come up tomorrow? Don't know but why take chances. Read on. [Top photo: no dogs, but fine art]Scientists in Singapore and Japan have developed a tiny 3D-printed scuba suit for cyborg cockroaches, allowing them to survive and move underwater and other low-oxygen environments for up to three hours. The suit can transform a regular cockroach, and potentially other insects, into "an amphibious cyborg robot capable of operation across land and water," according to a new research paper published this week in Nature Communications.
So, why do researchers want half-robot cockroaches to breathe underwater anyway? Apparently, they hope to one day be able to use cyborg cockroaches in search and rescue missions, pipeline inspection, and other complex tasks.What could possibly go wrong?

Metal music drains the darkness. For me, at least, it's always been therapeutic. A balm.
Some have asked, doesn't it make you angry? I answer, no, fucking Bee Gees and Starland Vocal band make me angry.
Slayer makes me happy.

Grace Kelly's father was Jack Kelly-- a former bricklayer & self-made Philadelphia construction millionaire.
Jack Kelly had literally never heard of "Monaco," and he doubted at first that such a country even existed.
Then, he was suspicious that this Rainier guy might be after Jack Kelly's money!
So, he sent a Philly gumshoe over there, to investigate whether this so-called "prince" was for real or not.
The foregoing is true. I suspect the royal bankers must've been a bit non-plussed by Jack Kelly's private eye wanting to have a look at their books.

No, by no means a forced marriage.
Grace Kelly got out of Hollywood while she was still at the peak of her career. Hollywood is not especially kind to great beauties who have begun to fade, if only a little.
Rainier and his advisors thought that a royal wedding to a famous movie star might be good for business-- and they were right.

The thing about metal bands, in my experience, is they always sound nearly as good live as in the studio. Some of that might be because the bands I love play smaller venues with great sound systems. I could go on and on about how much these fookers practice. 10,000 hours on steroids.

From above, Scientists in Singapore and Japan have developed a tiny 3D-printed scuba suit for cyborg cockroaches, allowing them to survive and move underwater and other low-oxygen environments for up to three hours.
---
Other programs - Because of their ability to survive high-radiation environments and squeeze into places traditional drones cannot reach, cyborg bugs are being tested by organizations like NATO for advanced military and defense surveillance. The underlying technology goes beyond simple surveillance, as researchers are building autonomous swarm algorithms to coordinate the insects.
The German military and NATO are utilizing cockroach swarms to operate behind enemy lines in GPS-denied environments.
They can crawl deep into earthquake rubble or collapsed tunnels to locate trapped survivors and map disaster zones.
Researchers believe this technology could one day act as biological drones deployed over hostile planetary surfaces like Mars.🪲🪳🦠🫣

Syrup is great, too!
But I suppose you could re-cook it, with a little more pectin? (Re-sterilize the jars, of course)
My problem, when making elderberry jam, was that it jelled to rubber! Or, syrup when I tried another batch... I went with syrup and called it a day.

I went for a beer and wings in a bar in a different village yesterday, and they had tables made of what looked like finger-jointed 2X2's all laid up and glued into slabs. Blonde wood and pale mahogany. Possibly old pallet or crate wood. Finish was just a coat or two of shellac or varnish. Tables looked like slabs of parquet flooring.

She officially retired from acting and married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in April 1956.
Her brother, John B. Kelly, Jr., son of triple-Olympic gold-medal rower Jack Kelly Sr., was also a prominent Philadelphia figure. He was a four-time Olympic rower; Philadelphia City Councilman for 12 years, and ran the family's prominent bricklaying business.
Across the city, the "Jack Kelly" name often overlaps between the real-life sports legend and a famously unhinged fictional lawyer from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Two 15-year-old teens in San Mateo, California, were detained after a Waymo self-driving car reported them to the police for drinking alcohol and shooting Orbeez-style water beads from a toy gun. Police responded with a high-risk traffic stop, arriving at a parking lot where the car was already immobilized. The teens were detained and later released to their parents. The district attorney’s office is reviewing the case for possible charges, including underage drinking and threatening behavior.
No word if the last words they heard on the way from the police station were "you are so grounded."

It may sound comical - actually it’s more comical than most realize. Jasmine got the vote of over 90% of Black Texas democrats, which are about 30% of the Dem voting base in Texas. She is flashing a clear signal to all of them - “don’t go vote for that white twink Talerico this fall!” And they won’t.

“Though trans people make up just 1 percent of the population in Washington state, the nonprofits that help them say their budgets are drained and their staffs are stretched so thin that last month the Seattle LGBTQ Commission asked Mayor Katie Wilson (D) to declare a civil state of emergency. Such a declaration would free up general fund dollars to bolster the nonprofits’ finances as they help transplants find housing and jobs.
If the city chooses not to declare a state of emergency, commission leaders said, they worry what will happen not only to Seattle’s LGBTQ+ organizations but also to ones that help all city residents. Many of the newcomers need shelter, food aid, and subsidized health care. And the city’s homeless population has already reached a record high this year."

Ever pour a little coke on an ant hill and watch them scurry around?
Every time we bomb them they scurry around and give our satellites more information on new places to bomb. He's doing it this way to cause them to give up, unintentionally, the location of chief yellow cake, that's when things will get real.

Yes, that was there main one and what started the company. But they had a large number of other designs later. Boomerangs, triangle boomerangs, other types of disks, and that circular thing I think. I had a bunch back then. Maybe still somewhere in a box. My past is an undiscovered country, that's mostly contained in a series of unopened moving boxes I haven't touched in decades due to space issues.

A YouTuber in a particular (heavily male) hobby space was immediately bullied out of it by his own viewers, when he went too far. I didn't even get a chance to bully him myself! I won't say who it is, because I like the guy, but he did the Gloryhole Face variant on a thumbnail. And I don't know if the other commenters used that specific term, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I mean... I'm not glad that he felt bad... but he has never done it again. It worked.

I got to wondering, why no pictures of the dead JW Booth? Cadaver pics were de rigeur in the old West, and this guy was Public Enemy #1. Supposedly there was one (1) autopsy photograph, but it has since 1865 disappeared.
I asked the internet why no pics of Booth’s body, and got a word salad non-sensical answer. Totally.
“The War Department intentionally kept the single autopsy photograph of John Wilkes Booth a secret to prevent his burial site from from becoming a shrine and to stop conspiracy theories”
Bwah? What does a picture have to do with his burial site? And the lack of photographic evidence only fuels conspiracy theories - Booth got away, etc

So I'm at SciTech a big aerospace nerd gathering held by AIAA every year. Every major aerospace company university and research institute attends it. Big big deal. Thousands of nerds in a high nerd density. And every morning there's a keynote speaker.
One morning was this gal in charge of managing and "transforming" the NA&SM. She laid it all out. She was taking all the outdated useless exhibits of airplanes, the men who built, designed and flew them and mothball all that worthless crap. She was replacing it with the important stuff like disabled lesbian midget poetry and the like. She was very open about this.

Booth was a celebrity - like if Tom Cruise shot the president one day. Everyone knew what he looked like.
Once the cavalry got after him and trapped him and shot him in the body he died quickly. There was never a question of getting him. A few years later he was dug up and delivered to his family who were loyal for burial in a family plot.

False allegations used by the political structure to put pressure on us.

There are several theories, WAGs really about them. Several of these are they really aren't that large of a diameter, they just look that way.
A spectacular ring system putting Saturn to shame could do it. Another possibility is they're really normal sized, with normal density, but the stellar wind couple with the atmospheric dynamics are just puffing up some of the gases, making a very thin, tenuous upper atmosphere. All of the mass would be in a much smaller volume, it's just a small bit of it gets really puffed up.

It works because Trump is not trying to do regime change on the cheap nor planning a large footprint on the ground that requires both logistics and an army we don't have. Without oil money, Iran's government has to fall back on its hold on the people and eventually even zealots get tired and weary when society turns against them. Many of them have families too.
Modern siege tactics is what Trump is doing.

His illustrations there are good enough for even Lamont the Big Dummy to understand the various celestial coordinate systems and terrestrial orientation with them.

Quick Hits
The Megyn Kelly ShowShe has repeatedly claimed that anyone objecting to Candace Owens' stalking and assassination-prep campaign against Erika Kirk was just making a bad-faith attack on Owens "because of Israel." But now it's "beyond human" for Candace Owens to ask if Erika Kirk was part of a Jewish plot to murder her husband? When did it move from an "important question that must be asked" to "beyond human"? Was it when she last checked her YouTube views? Is that when she decided it was now "beyond human"? When she discovered her influence had plunged to almost nothing? What happened to her prideful, antisemitic vow to never separate herself an inch from "young mom" Candace Owens? Meanwhile, Candace Owens is spamming out new defamatory accusations without evidence, to cover up for her previous defamations having been proven false in court. Her new claim? Well, Ben Shapiro -- a highly connected person in the media who personally knew Charlie Kirk -- got word through a text that Charlie Kirk had been shot before Candace did, so this must mean... that Ben Shapiro is involved in the murder. See, it wasn't telling Shapiro "SHIT CHARLIES BEEN SHOT," it was the Israeli assassins telling him "TARGET DOWN, CONGRATULATIONS AND MAZEL TOV."
@MegynKellyShow .@MegynKelly: "I really, really, wish the people who have doubts about Erika Kirk would just keep them quiet this week. Whether you like her or you don't like her, hopefully the human inside of you can see how difficult this is for her and the family... It's just beyond human what is being asked of the family, and I beg for you to keep them in your prayers."
Bad Hombre
@Badhombre 4h Candace Owens is not crashing out, contrary to popular belief. Her frantic posts are the hallmarks of a narcissistic psychopath backed into a corner: the people she misled and profited from are now defecting and demanding answers. Her decision to double down through denial, aggression, victimhood, blame-shifting, and a complete lack of remorse is calculated. She needs the public to believe she genuinely believes the defamatory claims she promoted--even if she doesn't. Why? Because she knows there is sufficient evidence to convict Tyler Robinson and expose her own claims as false. If he is convicted, the existing defamation suits against her become stronger, while opening the door to new ones from TPUSA, Andrew Kolvet, Erika Kirk, and others. She's now laying the groundwork for a legal defense that she acted with a bona fide belief in her claims and without actual malice. It won't work. She's screwed.
Liz WheelerCandace Owens' cultists are now accusing Charlie Kirk's parents of being in on the conspiracy. They're being "paid" to "keep quiet."
@Liz_Wheeler 6h Candace claims it's NOT Tyler Robinson in the videos... But Tyler Robinson's MOTHER identified him from those videos. Think very carefully, America.
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan made 1 million pounds from prostituting a teenager through their webcam sex business, police have alleged. The brothers are facing a heap of new charges from Romania's directorate for investigating organised crime and terrorism (DIICOT). In addition to charges of human trafficking and rape, prosecutors have now added money laundering, witness intimidation and complicity in the trafficking of minors to the list of charges. Former world champion kickboxer and self-described misogynist Andrew, 39, is accused of manipulating a 17-year-old girl into working for the Tate brothers' pornography business between November 2014 and December 2021. She was then placed under the control of Tristan, 37, who is accused of sexually exploiting her by controlling her online webcam account and setting financial targets which she needed to meet, DIICOT said. The exploitation of the then-17-year-old allegedly earned the brothers $1.53 million (1.14 million pounds). Prosecutors said between 2018 and 2021, Tristan recruited three victims using the 'lover boy method' - showering them with gifts to emotionally blackmail them into sex work. Tristan is accused of intimidating 11 witnesses into making false statements, or not giving statements to prosecutors.You know, I might be skeptical of these charges, if the Tate brothers did not have a subscription life coaching service where they teach men how to manipulate girls into being whores using the "loverboy" treatment (which is actually how pimps recruit hookers) -- tell them how much you love them, but they just need to do this one thing to make them some money...
Andrew is also said to have threatened two alleged victims and two alleged witnesses with lawsuits to withdraw their cooperation with the police. Both brothers are also accused of illegally selling luxury vehicles. Five of the Tates' luxury vehicles were also seized by the authorities. In the UK, the brothers have been charged with 21 offences, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking. Both brothers deny the allegations.
A woman in a NJ prison is suing the state for forcing her to share unmonitored spaces with a "female" prisoner, who sexually assaulted her. She says she was penetrated by this "female" prisoner's penis, in both the vagina and mouth.
This is that "female" prisoner:
Weird how many women are committing gross sexual offenses like rape and masturbating in front of children these days. What's gotten into women, anyway?
What are we even doing here?
An inmate at New Jersey's only women's prison is appealing the dismissal of a lawsuit she filed against the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) alleging that she was sexually abused by a trans-identified male transfer. In the August 2023 complaint, the woman, identified in court records as F. H., said that a "transgender inmate" with "fully functioning male parts" raped her on two occasions, in September and October 2022.
While the name of the male transfer was anonymized as Q. G. in court records, Reduxx can reveal that the "transgender inmate" named in the lawsuit is violent convict Quagee Gibbons, who stands at 6'1″ and weighs nearly 300 pounds. Gibbons, who is listed as a "female" in the New Jersey inmate directory, has multiple convictions, including for manslaughter in 2014, threats of violence, and physical assault. According to the suit, the Edna Mahan Corrections Facility for Women (EMCFW) houses multiple trans-identified male inmates who routinely harass the women there. F. H. alleges that the NJDOC and EMCF "failed to take timely and adequate corrective actions to protect the women inmates from transgender inmates with a fully functioning male sexual anatomy." Despite numerous complaints being lodged about the men's "sexually aggressive and harassing behavior," corrections officers and the NJDOC ignored the women's concerns.
Prison officials "failed to create a safe and secure environment for the female inmates," reads the complaint. "Transgenders were allowed to mix with females in areas with no correction officer supervision or oversight. An example is that transgenders were housed with female inmates in areas with no security cameras." In September and October 2022, F. H. was housed in the same wing as Gibbons. She notes that due to the lack of cameras in the hallway, male officers were not permitted to enter the area without first announcing themselves. Despite this, Gibbons was given "unfettered access and private access" to F. H., who she says "used his / her penis to commit both oral and vaginal intercourse." She reported the sexual assault to EMCF staff, but was issued disciplinary charges in retaliation. Attempts were made to transfer her to a prison in another state, and F. H. says she has been repeatedly placed in solitary confinement. In her lawsuit, F. H. requested financial compensation for her "severe emotional distress", as well as punitive damages, and attorneys' fees. She also invoked the Law Against Discrimination (LAD), asserting that she was discriminated against and harassed on the basis of her "gender."
About $30 billion flew out of CA due to unfettered fraud around 2020. Staff was apparently instructed to “just get the money out there. We’ll worry about the fraud later.” Which they never “worried about later.”

He called with Putin on the 4th of july for over 4 hours, he spoke to the people only for 30 minutes...that's all you need to know.
All the dictators get their payout: Putin gets his wish to destroy nato. BiBi gets his wish to destroy Iran and wipe out Palestine. Xi gets his wish for the ai chips. Saudis get their wish of a rebrand. Who is next?
He has done more damage than any other US president. Ever. Possibly all combined.
Remember, he's the distraction from the evil sh1t his people are doing behind the scenes. The more he gets attention, the more they can do this stuff outside of the public eye
Why doesn't a journalist or world leader challenge him? He wouldn't be able to handle it if done publicly.

Yes, and the book is overlong, like a number of his works.
I do recommend 11/22/63, about time travel to the late '50s-early '60s with a catch to the time travel I'd never read before. It's a grand story . . . and Beverly, the redhead girl from It, appears charmingly in one chapter when the hero travels to Derry, the town where the latter novel happened.

He's famous for being able to end his stories well. His dialogue is often absolutely awful. But several of his books are pretty good.
I can also think of several movies based on his books that have a huge fanbase. The Shining, Children of the Corn, Stand by Me, The Running Man, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, It, Salem's Lot, and several others.

The novels Shining, Shawshank, Green Mile, and Salem's Lot are extraordinary, as was the novelette, "The Body," that became Stand By Me. The short story "Children of the Corn" is nicely creepy, but it was too short (like the short that got blown up into Maximum Overdrive) to sustain a whole movie.

There is some question as to whether it actually worked. But, even if it did, it is a blatant violation of your "Right to Privacy". These devices were recording everything including conversations and then distributed to law enforcement in a number of instance that had nothing to do with "guns". Then again, I don't support the surveillance cameras and speed cameras either...so I'm consistant.
This is not about detecting someone carrying a gun into a public or government building. It's about surveillance without a warrant.

Attacked Spain for being “a terrible partner in NATO,” going as far as to demand the U.S. cease all future trade with the nation.
"I’m not happy with NATO because of what they did with Greenland...Greenland is very important for the United States, but it’s not important for Denmark. In fact, when Denmark was overrun by the Nazis in less than one day—Hitler beat them out in one day, took over—they asked us to take care of Greenland...in fact, we took Greenland, and then stupidly we gave it back."

Roadwork is very Seventies, and is kinda dull; it's a straight novel, not a genre tale. But The Running Man is hyperdrive action and loads of fun.

* 1 stone is officially 14 pounds, dating back to a royal statute by King Richard II in 1389. However, regional variations continued to exist into modern times, even past the UK's imperial Weights and Measures Acts of 1824 and 1835.
* The UK adopted the metric system in 1965, and a 1985 act forbade using 'stone' for commerce.
* However, since it's also illegal to traffic in people, the English continue using 'stone' for human body weight to this very day, in a small rebellion against their EU masters.

There is some question as to whether it actually worked.
No, there isn't. ShotSpotter is well tested and proven. Occasionally the system would give false positives for bigger fireworks or loud sharp construction noises, but it did just fine at detecting and locating gunshots.
But, even if it did, it is a blatant violation of your "Right to Privacy". These devices were recording everything including conversations and then distributed to law enforcement in a number of instance that had nothing to do with "guns".
Absolute bullshit. Shot spotter works by detecting sudden, loud, sharp explosive noises. It does this at multiple locations, then does some math to do triangulation. The microphones are not continuously recording. Even the ACLU couldn't find any conversation recording privacy threats or violations.

I think Trump has been playing this out on purpose and also leading the Dems into a position where they have to say "Only and idiot would negotiate with Iran!" to try to own him, and thereby give him a mandate for total retaliatory strikes.
I'm wondering if this was the plan all along. If your intel says that Iran can hold out for six months or so before cracking, how do you sell it? His answer: you don't. You play it out, string it along, stretch the ceasefires, develop target lists, infiltrate and all the while pressure on Iran increases.
New oil routes are progressing during all this time so that the Strait becomes meaningless. Oh, and US capacity is also going up, as is Venezuela's.

"The Boogeyman" is a creepshow for sure. And his "Battleground" was the kind of story Twilight Zone would have done, had they possessed the special effects then.

He can dodge the "its been 10 weeks" media line by declaring a ceasefire and a return to talks. This also works to dodge congressional War powers.
By letting pauses happen he eases resupply and negates people bitching about civilian casualties. By having Iran break the ceasefires even the anti Americans are hard pressed to make a case other than Trump Bad.
And I also think that he and the Israelis are already talking not just to the Civil government but also to factions in country - the IGRC military, the Shah's kid's Guard insurgents, disaffected IGRCs if any. Once one of those groups disengages enough to control a bit of real estate our air power can keep conventional forces from taking the ground back.

To look at the issues historically, war is always a mixed bag, and even in the most successful wars, there are always some colossal mistakes. Yes, the 3 month pause was a mistake, the war could have been over by now. But we're strong enough to overcome it and win anyways.
For every D-Day, there's an Anzio, and for every Battle of the Bulge, there's a Hurtgen Forest. In the end, an army mainly needs persistence and a few more successes than failures.

Oh yes, we're certainly working those angles as well, and Trump's persistence is sending a message that we are not going to go away. This is asymmetric warfare at its best - we can hammer them with impunity and they have a diminishing capability to respond.
They cannot replace their air defense systems, and drone production is likewise crippled. At the same time, the potency of their oil threat keeps dropping and we're now in a position to take them out of the game completely - and without tanking the global economy.

I've grown quite skeptical of the prospect of "Regime Change" in the short term, at least, because I believe that's going to require a civil war that kills about 5% to 10% of the population, looking at historically similar situations. In Iran, that'll be 5 - 8 million casualties, and no one from outside is going to go in and do the kind of killing needed to make that happen. We just won't.
And the idea that a big change could happen without a whole lot of death is just a fantasy.

I disagree. There is no "fast forwarding" to the end of this. The planners get it, and that was built into it, and there are many indicators of this.
To be sure, the hope was that Iran would collapse. But they anticipated what to do if that didn't work. Nothing like our 20 years of strategic failure.
The initial plan only gets you so far, it's how you respond that is even more important, and we're really crushing it here.

I hate King because of his nasty personality and his wretched writing style. He also focuses on subjects that do not interest me at all.
One of the creepy things about him (other than pedo tendencies) is that he sees a very ugly world and populates it with ugly people. Lots of revenge fantasies, drawn-out cruelty, suffering and pain - it's really sadistic.

**********************************
The Islamic Republic of Iran depends on a few hundred thousand Basiji and IRGC to maintain control over the populace, and even most of those aren't willing to sacrifice their lives for a dying regime. There were videos from March showing American or Israeli drone strikes against them, and Iran doesn't seem to possess any effective anti-drone defenses. A viable strategy for regime change would have been to employ a massive drone fleet, via drone production boosted in the period from June 2025 to February 2026, to target any groups of Basiji or IRGC, whether manning checkpoints or residing in buildings.

The IRGC is directly analagous to the Nazi SS. They would never ever have been overthrown except by an outside force, just like Kim il Jong will never be overthrown from inside. They're in a political cul de sac that those countries no longer have the power to break out of.

So we obviously can't argue taste.
I'd say - other than the King penchant for kid diddling - he did a fine job of NOT wrapping up a story.
As in "here's what people did, and it didn't turn out well".
Storm of the Century was one of his best works, in my view. Excellently cast including Debrah Farantino. The first Karen. Her and Kate Mulgrew.

That strategy had interesting prospects, we started it and walked away just when it looked like it would have results. It's sad that apparently no plans were ever made to try to get some kind of local resistance going; the story about the Kurds stealing the weapons is too idiotic to believe, it has to be a cover story for just not trying.

The more you decapitate, the weaker they get. And the regular Iranian army has plenty of force to rub out anyone if they feel motivated to, just like the German Army could have rubbed out the SS. Hitler made sure to splurge out huge cash bribes to German generals to keep them from deciding to try it.

The United States didn't take the opportunity to boost drone production, and the number of drones available was far too low to implement the strategy described earlier.
Israel did develop a plan for sparking a revolution, beginning with an insurgency by Kurdish groups in the northwest, but just as this was about to commence, some faction in the American government quashed it. Turkey was strongly opposed to it, as were all those who want to maintain the Islamic Republic in power.

Yesterday, I saw on a Candace-friendly (though she's not mentioned much there) podcast FB page a comment from a woman who could barely contain herself, waiting for Candy's reaction to the testimony of the day. So in the morning, I looked up Candy's "X" feed which was breathtakingly hostile toward Ben Shapiro, not to mention confusing concerning timelines, etc. I've seen a lot of toxic things on X, but this series of posts was special.
And pointing a finger at Lance Twiggs as the person mis-identified as Robinson by prosecutors also seems like a bad long-term strategy. Is she ready for wrath from the furry community? Maybe the eager Candace-following mommy sleuth from yesterday can get a head start looking for a suspicious furry organization trying to frame Robinson.

James Talarico Hired the Leader of a Queer-Themed Anti-Gun Movement -- "Cocks Not Glocks" -- to Write His Anti-Gun Legislation
Who better?Flashback: James Talarico wants to tell you about Positive Masculinity.
Democratic Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico tapped the former leader of a protest movement called "C--ks Not Glocks" at the University of Texas at Austin to be his legislative aide, a job that included drafting gun control legislation. Ana Lopez helped Talarico craft three major firearm restriction bills that he rolled out in the state legislature in 2019, all of which failed to pass. Lopez took over the leadership of "C--ks Not Glocks," which once handed out more than 4,500 dildos on the UT-Austin campus to protest a 2015 law allowing licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons at state universities and community colleges, from founder Jessica Jin -- an alum of the school, like Talarico. Lopez told Study Breaks Magazine in 2017 that Jin had moved to California after graduation and passed the "torch down to me." With its motto of "fighting absurdity with absurdity," members of "C--ks Not Glocks" marched on campus with t-shirts and banners depicting male genitalia emblazoned with perverse takes on pro-Second Amendment slogans such as "take it and come," while others donned dog collar sex toys. Jin, who started the movement as a joke on social media, said she wanted to "put a dildo in the hands of every pissed off college student who hasn't been heard in this safety conversation." "Strap it on, feel the discomfort, feel the weird looks. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and don't take them off until people take their guns home," she added, per the Houston Chronicle. "As long as you have a d-- on your backpack, people will be thinking about the guns," the Texas Tribune quoted her as saying. Lopez later complained about the backlash to the group, telling Study Breaks Magazine, "It's usually just men who can't take a joke."

The Texas House of Representatives advanced a measure on Friday that would prohibit "sexually oriented performances" from taking place in public spaces and in front of minors. Notably, the House's version of Senate Bill 12 does not include language targeting drag performers -- a big change from the version the state Senate passed last month. That version included any performance with "a male performer exhibiting as a female, or a female performer exhibiting as a male" as "sexually oriented." Rep. Matt Shaheen, R-Plano, said Friday the House version still seeks to shield minors from sexually explicit content. "Children should never be exposed to sexually oriented conduct," Shaheen said. "Senate Bill 12 would help put an end to the sexualization of children in the state of Texas." Under the House substitute of SB 12, shows that include "actual or simulated...sexual acts, including vaginal sex, anal sex and masturbation" cannot take place in front of minors. Businesses who host such performances in the presence of people under 18 years old could be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000. "Senate Bill 12 would help put an end to the sexualization of children in the state of Texas," Shaheen said. The measure was preliminarily approved 88 to 12. Forty-two members -- nearly all Democrats -- voted present. That number of abstentions is highly unusual. Rep. James Talarico, D-Round Rock, told reporters he voted "present" because the measure had significantly improved. "I think Texas is obviously the best state in the nation and I think we produce some of the best drag queens in the nation. And I didn't want any legislation to target them or hurt that industry," said Talarico.

Since I've had a hobby of watching Texas races for a while, and predict outcomes based on long term trends, not increasingly idiotic polls, I'm gonna say that Paxton wins by a 57-43 margin.
Paxton always way outperforms polling numbers. The original primary in March, where he came in second, was a fluke because newcomer Wes Hunt was a wild card in the three way race.

There's a common theme between Platner and Talarico - Democrats working hard to fake an appeal to ordinary people, and failing completely.
With Platner, they realized that ordinary working class men were completely done with the Democrats, so they came up with what they thought was an ordinary working class man. Of course they came up with a violent sex abuser Nazi Rapist, because that's what they think we are. They thought it would work.
With Talarico, they figured out that Evangelical Christians are a very important voting block in Texas, so they found someone who says "Jesus" a lot, and figured that ordinary Christians were too stupid to figure out that he's a false teacher with a Satanic theology who's one true goal is to subvert and destroy Christianity from the inside.
They're like anthropologists studying gorillas with a telescope, and they can't understand why it only takes us about 5 seconds to see through their fakes.

You teach yoga or something like that. Not a shot at you by any means. I'm self-employed myself. But I wasn't always self-employed.
"Weird" people are EXACTLY the ones that get elevated in any kind of corporate system. And both parties ... both ... are corporate. Bureaucratic. They are not meritocracies. Life isn't today. Hasn't been for any period of time anyone here has been alive.
Hence the old saying. "Its not what you know, its who you blow". And I heard that for the first time when I was in middle school. Early eighties.

Yes, and his opponent is Gina Hinojosa, from McAllen Texas (53 years old) Member of the Texas House.
The primary focus of her campaign is traveling around the state and promising, if she wins, to have the State send $1500 to everyone who votes for her.
Yeah, that sounds like a joke, but it's true.

Insty often posts stories about FIRE and praises their work.
Fuck those guys.
They're out there suing Trump (ICE) because some jackass was spouting off sending oh-so-coy letters that were not actual threats, just all the smoke around threats, and--oh no!--was visited by agents telling him to knock it off.
And the whiny bitches at FIRE are suing--not because he was arrested, not because he was detained, not even because they even implied he broke the law.
No, see their panties are in a twist because they tracked his stupid ass down while he was on vacation and embarrassed him in front of his kids; telling him be careful what you say, if it goes too far, it could be a crime.
Well, fuck that guy and fuck FIRE.

It's called "taking The Ticket," and involves selling your soul. Bad Bunny with his queer fashion is archetypal. But do not envy them.
For one, Ticket Takers are used and abused by their Ticket Seller and associates.
For another, they will get discarded without a second thought the instant their usefulness is over.
And the capper is that they are commonly chosen for actual talent, which they fail to develop by not having to struggle for their success. So, they didn't even need the help -- until they took it, and let the habit of hard work atrophy.

The most truthful line Talarico ever spoke was in a talk he gave in 2021 (yes, it was recorded on video) where he describes himself as a "Christian who hates Christianity".
He thinks this is some kind of clever theological statement, when every one else sees that what he's saying is that he hates everyone else who says they are Christian, and shows it.

Here's the problem with trying to game the timing; the best explanation for the pause is that he didn't want a big distraction with high oil prices and war going on during the midterm campaigns. But if we had gone after it for the last 3 months without pause, it easily would have been over by now.
Instead, doing it this way has guaranteed that war and at least elevated oil prices will happen during the midterm campaign, which was exactly the thing that we wanted to avoid.
And if we're just going to do a little bit at a time in order to try and "influence" Iran's behavior, then we're back to doing exactly what LBJ did in Vietnam, and Bush did with Saddam. It never works.

The Absolute Balls: Alex Thompson Again Claims a "Scoop" On Something Conservative Media Reported Months Ago
Huh. If you forgot the name Alex Thompson, one, congratulations on the efficient use of your memory cells, and two, he joined with Jake Tapper to share the B R E A K I N G news that Joe Biden had lost a step and really shouldn't have tried running for president in 2024.
He wrote this book in 2025. He really had his finger on the pulse of a corpse. And now he's discovered -- apparently by simply reading conservative media outlets, who have reported this for months -- that Graham Platner's claims of being a "working class" "oysterman" are entirely a a fiction invented in 2024, when he decided to run for the Senate. One might bid him a hearty welcome him to Current Day, except for the fact that he absolutely refuses to acknowledge the media outlets that reported this long ago, pretending he's got a real Shoeleather Express Scoop on his hands here.Looks like the word has gone out to all the Narrative Tenders in political and media culture. Time to shut down Graham Platner's "working-class man" credentials.
Advertisement Most people saw through this false premise months ago. Axios decided to catch up today, now that Democrats need to pressure Herr Totenkopf to withdraw from the Senate election in Maine. Alex Thompson and Holly Otterbein do a deep dive into the predicament Democrats now face after attempting to sell Platner as a MAGA-adjacent man of the people instead of the middle-class parental mooch that he is. Readers have to get halfway through the analysis to get to Axios' half-assed admission of participating in the fraud: Starting with their launch video last August, Platner and his team billed him as an oyster farmer -- a title most of the media, including Axios at times, repeated without scrutiny.
But as early as August, he told ideologically friendly outlets that he makes little money from selling oysters and it's not how he makes a living. Platner and his team pitched him as a "working-class Mainer" who bought his house with veterans' benefits.Golly! Who could have known that? Well, anyone who read the Free Beacon more than two months ago, when Collin Anderson and Peter Hasson first reported on the details of the house purchase.
"I bought my house in 2017," he posted in September 2025. "If I hadn't bought then, if I hadn't had the support of the VA, my wife and I would now be priced out of the town I grew up in, like the millions of Americans being exiled from their towns and cities." In fact, Platner's father -- a lawyer -- loaned him $200,000 for the home. Platner said last fall he's "never been close to money and power," but he briefly attended the elite prep school Hotchkiss in Connecticut before attending a private school in Maine.
Worth noting that conservative outlets like the Free Beacon exposed his sham blue collar image long ago. Those facts were largely ignored by legacy media. Now that’s changed. A cynic might say it’s because he’s now seen as a threat to their partisan tribe’s power quest. https://t.co/7h7Xf48mhI

Stephen L. MillerI can't wait until Alex Thompson teams with Jake Tapper to tell us, next year, that the entire Platner storyline was an op created by the leftwing media in close consultation with the Democrat Socialists of America.
@redsteeze
Alex Thompson has made a lot of money reporting things that everyone already knew about and acting like it's breaking news.
I have written before about how the myth of Graham Platner's "working man" populism was created, despite the fact that he was a child of privilege, lied constantly about his background and even his "job" as an oysterman. He was a creation of a propaganda machine, primarily driven by The New York Times and the Condé Nast media empire. National Review did a deep dive into how Platner was plucked out of nowhere and turned into a working-class political star.
The phrase "it's an op" -- meaning an influence operation -- is often, though not always, a marker of paranoia, a tendency towards conspiracy theories, or a belief in forces that are unseen and cannot yet be proven to exist. Still, from the very start of SS-tattooed Democrat Graham Platner's campaign for Senate, something seemed odd. The New York Times is not in the habit of writing a largely glowing profile of every long-shot, little-known Democrat who announces a bid for Senate. Platner was the harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, population 1,246. Yet the Times wrote its profile of Platner before he officially announced his campaign, in August. In September, The New Yorker wrote its own 3,400-word profile of Platner, emphasizing how he "devoured books on military history." (But remember, he insists he never recognized the tattoo on his chest as a symbol of the Nazi SS.) Again, The New Yorker almost never writes long-detailed profiles of little-known Democratic Senate candidates one month after they announce their bid. Then in October, GQ -- not primarily a political magazine, and not one that often spotlights candidates -- published its own large spread of Platner with lots of photos. Then in November, the culinary magazine Bon Appetit -- again, not in the habit of covering obscure Senate candidates -- wrote another glowing profile, this one entitled, "How Graham Platner Went From Working-Class Oysterman to Maine's Zohran Mamdani." This is Beto O'Rourke-level national coverage, right out of the gate.
CNN: Gee maybe we let Graham Platner claim "Muh PTSD" as an excuse a few times too many.
Shorter CNN segment: Yeah, we probably let Graham Platner saying he had PTSD be too much of an excuse for his horrible behavior, even though the mistreatment of women is never acceptable. Whoopsie! pic.twitter.com/qLHoPzxcRg

Most the commies (DSA) and the muzzies have extremely extensive candidate farming programs. They contact just about everyone who has any potential, send them to training and vetting programs (vetting for allegiance, not suitability.)
I think Sarah Hoyt recently posted a link to a woman who apparently had an Iranian name, and she said she had been contracted "many" times by muzzie organizations to see if she was interested in being a candidate. There is also talk recently of AOC being auditioned in a cattle call of 10,000 looking for the best face for a candidate and that is how we were graced with her mule-teeth ranting.

Sample paragraph:
"In that original viral campaign launch video, a bearded Platner, his strawberry blonde hair tousled, introduced Maine voters to the issues central to his platform, namely, broad economic populism, taxing billionaires, and universal healthcare. In a deep, gravely voice that wouldn’t sound out of place in a truck commercial, he talks about his decade of military service, and “farming oysters to feed my community.” ..."

It goes on like that for 1500 words. Another snippet:
"Platner’s hyperlocal business is reflected in his platform centered around working-class issues, like making housing affordable, and supporting Medicare and Medicaid. His oysterman image is an important part of building his identity as an everyman working an honest job, a friend to the middle class.
It’s an image that resonates with voters."

The solution is simple and obvious. The Democrats, and the media, simply declare him a Republican! Editing reality is hardly a stretch for the Democrats. Much like Democrats in Illinois ret-conned Abraham Lincoln from Republican to Democrat, they just edit Platner away!
And once he is safely Republican, well, the rules are wonderfully flexible when the Democrats try to deal with an inconvenient Republican (Cough, Trump, Cough).

BREAKING: Former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan has been sentenced to no prison time after she was found guilty of obstructing ICE agents from arresting an illegal alien in a courthouse last year. Federal judge Lynn Adelman (Clinton appointee) has just ordered Dugan to pay a 5,000 fine instead of any time behind bars. Prosecutors has asked for a sentence of 15-21 months. "This is a situation where an otherwise good person upset by immigration enforcement in this country, a sentiment widely shared, made a bad decision in the moment," Judge Adelman said in court.
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew 1h Judge Lynn Adelman finally showed his true colors in the Judge Hannah Dugan sentencing today in Wisconsin. No only did he not sentence her to a jail term on a federal felony, he did not even put her on probation. He departed downwards on the guidelines -- I don't know his justification yet -- and imposed only a $5000 fine for felony obstruction where she sent an illegal alien with armed federal agents waiting for him on a path to escape from them on a public street. Adelman did her no favors in how he presided over the case in terms of his legal rulings, and he upheld the jury's verdict. She will suffer professional consequences from the felony conviction. But he let her off the hook entirely today in terms of the penal consequences for her conduct. He's a left-wing nut job judge and has always been a nut job. He showed it today.
BREAKING: Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge convicted for helping an illegal alien escape ICE, receives ZERO prison time and instead is ordered to pay just a $5000 fine.

I suspect this will be appealed and reversed. Unless things have changed a lot since I was defending white collar crimes in federal court, the appeals courts are generally much stricter in following the sentencing guidelines than trial judges. That is true whether the departure is up or down.
The trial judge needs a really good reason to depart downward, and one that conforms to the guidelines for downward departure set forth in the code. The trial judge can't just pull it out of his asshole. Which is what this judge apparently did.
This sob story commie bullshit is not enough to justify a downward departure: "This is a situation where an otherwise good person upset by immigration enforcement in this country, a sentiment widely shared, made a bad decision in the moment," Judge Adelman said in court.

There is no mechanism easily available to hold them accountable, for any action from the Bench.
Even the Supremes will only over rule them... not fire them.
That Judge Boasberg, who signed warrants to SPY on Politicians using the FISA Court, is still holding power over some of those same politicians?
The Constitution was set up to hold a balance of power, but Congress ceded their rule making power to the Courts almost 100 years ago... so the Supremes write rules which give the Courts more power... Power, corrupts.

Ace, I must disagree. It's a big win to have this bitchwitch even tried for the crime. She wouldn't have even been interviewed by the feds if this happened under Biden's DOJ, let along indicted.
So this is a big step forward. A very big step. Yes, we aren't there yet. This cuntface should have gotten time, and if I'm correct (see my comment above) the appeals judges will reverse the no-prison sentence.
The felony conviction most likely will mean the end of her law career. She's already resigned her judge seat. She threw most of her life away on a stunt for a filthy foreign invader who would have raped her in her sleep.
So regardless whether she gets prison or not, this is a yuge win that never would have happened a few years ago. Maybe not even under Trump 1.0.
Take the win, Ace. Take the win.

3. Sorry about knocking your teeth out for no being an Eagles fan...bad decision in the moment.

All of these incidents are based on sentiments widely shared. Or, so I rationalize in direction opposition to "justice being blind." Well, maybe not the DUI deaths, but that is based on a disease of alcoholism, so it was more difficult to make a good decision.

Looking at a $40 million opening weekend.
If that holds and normal behavior takes over for the ensuing weeks (assuming no weird huge attendance from some foreign country or something), Disney's going to lose 8-9 figures on their remake of the most recent big princess movie where the actual sequel to the original animated film made beaucoups bucks.
And there are no controversies around it or anything.

The problem is no matter what you set up, what system you put in place, what rules or support beams, or regulations, or lack thereof, there is ALWAYS a way to use a thing against itself.
It's called subversion and it's one of the principal tactics of the Left, because everything contains within, a mechanism which can be used to destroy itself.
It's the same way a psychopath or narcissist turns your strength into a weakness.

Similarly we have a system called "judgment". Based specifically on a writ of impartiality. The Left says "I shall now use partiality and because of your worship of impartiality, you cannot keep me from enforcing my bias and will throughout your system.

I blame her defense. They wanted to push judicial immunity, when I think they should really pushed how stupid it was. The fact the "back door" led to the exact same hallway as the main door for example.
Excuse me? Illegal immigrant? The person was trying to go to court, through the process, hence why she felt compelled to intervene. We're calling asylum seekers and refugees illegal immigrants now just unabashedly?
That's from the Fox News Headline, "Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan avoids jail time for obstructing arrest of illegal immigrant." They have very little journalistic integrity and don't view migrants as human.
It’s such a farce if you consider who the people suing her for attempting to obstruct justice are and what they’ve been doing to justice in this country

I like this new judicial theory: If a "sentiment is widely shared", like killing all the Muslims and Leftists or deporting with extreme prejudice illegal aliens, then the penalty for going about with whatever decision precipitates, is nothing.
I mean, "widely shared" in the immigration enforcement case is around what 20% of the 80% approval of the removal of criminal aliens? So in order to enact a genocide, a person only need to poll at 20% in order to earn the "widely shared" penalty exclusion clause?
Furthermore, what are the guidelines for legally recognized "sentiment"? Must it be strong all the way down to indifferent-except-on-days-without-coffee?

He is making his shot but probably that won't sway the 7th Circuit that much. Federal sentencing guidelines are actually pretty specific as to conditions for downward departures on sentencing and district court judges sentencing outside the guidelines have no presumption of having their sentence upheld on appeal.

That would be the Maine Democrat primary electorate.
He won 72% of the vote AFTER the Nazi tattoo and AFTER the NYT had reported on the first sexual assault allegations.
Unless the NYT is right wing propaganda that can't be trusted, that is.
This is the Democrat base. That's the harsh truth. Platner is everything they want in an elected official.

I don't know how disbarment works in Wisconsin, but presumably there's a procedure triggered by a felony conviction. In many instances, the shitstain voluntarily relinquishes the law license rather than have a debarment on their record.

Boy, is THAT correct. Candace has unleashed a torrent of venom and odd timelines against Ben Shapiro in her X feed as the preliminary hearing apparently hasn't supported her Bee Cult theory.
And she is suggesting that Lance Twiggs is the person in the videos presented by the prosecution, because he is tall. Few questions from her supporters.
Yesterday, the FB page of a pro-Candace podcaster was sticking to "why did that cop's bodycam stop?" and "everyone knows it was an exploding microphone that killed Charlie, not a bullet". Everybody involved in the trial is lying. They decided this months ago. The podcaster is in Utah. This is part of the jury pool.

Remove their statutory authority? That's got to go through Congress.
Just arrest them? Well, they arrested this one.
Unless you're arguing that Trump should go full dictator, he's playing all of this as well as he can.
This sentence will be appealed, and it will be overturned. She'll spend time in jail.

Unshocking: Biden Prosecutor Jack Smith Mishandled Classified Information While Prosecuting Trump for Mishandling Classified Information
Paul SperryThe NY Post:
@paulsperry_ 2h BREAKING: Just-declassified messages reveal an assistant to Special Counsel Jack Smith violated SCIF security procedures and others on his team mishandled classified material WHILE prosecuting President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified info in 2023-2024. "This is yet another example of law enforcement's double standards in the previous administration," said Senate Judiciary Chair Grassley, who uncovered the new records.
Prosecutors under former special counsel Jack Smith apparently disclosed classified material after bringing charges against President Trump over identical violations, according to internal government records released Wednesday. Messages between members of the special counsel's office from July 2023 show that investigators seemed to provide "access to classified materials" without confirming those who reviewed the information did so on a "need to know" basis. Other communications from Oct. 15 and 16 of that same year revealed that "a classified letter" was left out, while on April 19, 2024, a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) was left open because "no one closed it the day before." "That's a violation and an incident so I need to know the details," said Carli Rodriguez-Feo, a Department of Justice veteran who has worked in its Litigation Security Group. An assistant to Smith, Stephanie Van Buskirk, appears to have been responsible for the security lapse. It's unclear whether the special counsel's office members involved in the exchanges were working on Smith's case against Trump involving the alleged retention of classified documents at the 45th president's Mar-a-Lago estate or his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. ...He also noted the DOJ's non-prosecution of Biden, who was clearly guilty, but presented as a "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory," which -- and I wasn't aware of this -- turns out to be a perfect defense against an Espionage charge.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released the communications in a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, claiming they suggested a "double standard" by the Biden administration. "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black," Grassley said in a statement. "According to these messages, Biden DOJ personnel may have committed the very offense for which Jack Smith was prosecuting President Trump." The Iowa Republican's letter cited former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified material -- and the DOJ's decision under former President Barack Obama not to prosecute her for it.

185 Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was spared from prison Wednesday for ushering a Mexican defendant out of her courtroom to evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. A federal judge fined her $5,000 and cited her otherwise law-abiding life in issuing the sentence. “I think this is a situation where an otherwise good person, upset by immigration policies in this country, made a bad decision in the moment,” U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman said.

Since its biggest problem is that it's full of Chinese, we should really stop letting them come here.
It's a tragedy. My heart goes out to those affected.
And then I remember that they chose to trust Chinese construction, and as Chinese themselves, they knew the score. They placed their bets and took their chances.

Yep. Never formally appointed as special counsel under the required law and he was a former fed prosecutor working at the Intl Criminal Court in Euroland when brought back by Garland to head the charade. So IIRC, Smith, as he did not have a federal office at the time as a duly appointed and confirmed major officer of the US, could not have done what he did--lead a prosecution.
Garland and the DoJ contended at the time that Smith was a minor officer of the US under the supervision of Garland and did not need Senate confirmation but that is contradictory to the special counsel statute.
Often the usual practice of DoJ ,since the independent prosecutor appointed by a judicial panel is defunct legally, is to take an existing prosecutor appointed and confirmed from another jurisdiction and use them as a special prosecutor.
Smith was a former fedgov prosecutor but not a current one when brought back from Euroland. So could not be a major officer under the US Constitution without senate confirmation.

He spends some time dancing around Lord Acton's Maxim and noting American democracy is supposed to avoid this by spreading power around but then never comes to an answer.
The real answer though is rather obvious. There is way too much money and power to be gotten by winning political office. If you want people more interested in the general good and less interested in money and power you need to reduce the power of government.
The American model has broken down because even diluted between different offices there is too much power and because the permanent bureaucracy and 1.5 of our political parties are one interest group it isn't all that diluted...

Posted by: mnw
Don't be ridiculous. In fact, it is pretty well settled that tit for tat is about the only way to resolve problems. Otherwise one side will always defect from any agreement to screw you. As have the Dems repeatedly.
The reason that the independent counsel office disappeared is that Democrats instead of the GOP started getting gored by it. It was fine for Democrats during the Reagan years to use that as a bludgeon but suddenly when Clinton got in with all sorts of ethical and legal shortcuts, the Dems suddenly wanted the independent counsel statute gone.
Wishful thinking has no place in politics nor law.

Even when the stakes are picayune, you have people taking advantage of their power to get money, sex, or other things they want. Your local government is likely just as rife with corruption, cronyism, favoritism, and hanky panky as it is in Washington. The scale might be different in the degree of theft (although not in urban/surburban areas), but the self dealing, pay for play, honest graft, punishing enemies and rewarding friends, and people using power to get sex and money goes on.
The fault is in humans, not government per se. And part of that is the very people that want office are the ones that you should never put in. And a percentage of those will go bad.

When You Decide Not to Report a Rape Because You Agree With Your Rapist's Politics, Congratulations, You Are Now Officially a Cultist
SensurroundPlatner is still holding on.
@ShamashAran My own deeply felt schadenfreude aside, why shouldn't Platner dig in? Micky Kaus pointed out that Platner "has the leverage. All he has to do to screw the Dem party is... nothing." And my RedState colleague Bonchie described the Left's "nuclear levels of cope" over their rapey Nazi: "He's a mentally disturbed do-nothing who works for his mom. He doesn't care about the party. Why would he? And there is no mechanism to forcibly remove him." ... Make no mistake. Democrats are the whores in the Platner story, willing to overlook a Nazi tattoo, anger management issues, credible rape allegations, public airing of sex fetishes, admissions to joining the military just so he could kill people, and more. All because they thought they finally had a workingman candidate who could beat Collins. Now Platner is haggling over the price of his withdrawal, and he has until Sunday night to bleed his party nearly dry. I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no. She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically. This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room. We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward." If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group. I hate cults. I hate them a lot. They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible. What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore. At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum. That's a spectacularly bad trade. At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

Ed Morrissey writes that Maine Democrats are wondering who foisted this Nazi Communist Rapist on the Democrat Party.
Platner and his team are using their leverage to force the Maine Democratic Party to allow him to hand-pick his successor, as the New York Post reported yesterday based on anonymous sourcing. The Maine Democratic Party confirmed it last night in a video statement from its executive director. In a declaration drenched in irony, Devon Murphy-Anderson pledged "integrity" in the process to dump the violent Nazi-tatted Kik creeper its voters elected. She then huffed about how Platner was forcing himself on the party's processes, apparently clueless to the parallels that created the crisis:Why does the Nazi Communist we elected to be our candidate knowing he was a Nazi Communist believe he has any power to determine who the candidate is?! Who's responsible for electing this Nazi Communist?! Democrats are doing everything to find out who drove this Hot Dog Car through the window!
She added: "The integrity of this process is just as important as the outcome, and we are committed to ensuring that Democrats across our state can have confidence in both." As Murphy-Anderson went on, she accused Platner's team of "repeatedly" reaching out to them "in an attempt to put their thumb on the scale" to influence what the process looks like. "We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, nor in determining what this process looks like," she noted. "We have also reiterated that Graham Platner must drop out of this race so that Democrats in Maine can focus on defeating Susan Collins this November."
Platner, forcing himself on unwilling partners? Gee, what a shock! Unfortunately for Maine Democrats, Platner has all the leverage in this situation, as I explained yesterday and David will discuss next. Maine does not allow a political party to remove a nominee once he or she has won the primary. The only way that Murphy-Anderson and her organization can have a "process," let alone one with "integrity," is for Platner to voluntarily withdraw before the July 13 deadline. Maine Democrats had months to get Platner out of the primary after the news of his Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo went public in October, along with his posts on Reddit and other platforms suggesting that women bore responsibility for being raped.

Bravo Sen. Fetterman for saying this. Bernie Sanders has a long track record of endorsing dirtbags:
— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) July 7, 2026
Graham Platner: rapist & Nazi Hamas supporter
Abdul El-Sayed: terror supporter
Adam Hamawy: literal terrorist
Melat Kiros: terror supporter
Andrew Gillum: crystal meth &… https://t.co/rBlLQDZyw2
Sen. John Fetterman is not feeling the Bern. The Pennsylvania Democrat torched socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Monday night for promoting disgraced Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner despite clear signs that he was a "predator." "I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone," Fetterman told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" hours after former Platner girlfriend Jenny Racicot claimed that he broke into her home and raped her in 2021. Fetterman specified that Sanders should "apologize to the victims, especially the woman that -- she claimed that he raped her."Lumpy Jack doesn't play.
"I don't know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people," he added of Sanders. "Maybe he should consider [sitting] a few out and stop pushing these kind of communists." "I know Democrats that have, you know, back-to-back endorsed and got all in on [disgraced former Rep. Eric] Swalwell and were on the Platner train as well, too," Fetterman went on. "So, maybe stop, you know, getting [in] bed with absolute dirt bags, someone like Platner." Sanders had been among Platner's earliest backers, endorsing him in August of last year, shortly after Platner launched what appeared to be a long shot campaign.
As of Tuesday morning, Sanders had yet to join other Democrats -- including his fellow progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) -- in rescinding his endorsement. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post. "I'm sure he's not a saint," Sanders told CNN last month after another former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, accused Platner of physical abuse. "He went through some very bloody and horrible situations," Sanders went on. "He has acknowledged that he came back with PTSD. He's had his share of problems."

"With Graham Platner, Democrats Got Drunk on the Beer Test
BY JONATHAN CHAIT
Last September, the progressive strategist Morris Katz confessed to The New Yorker that the process by which he decided that Graham Platner was qualified to run for U.S. Senate required less time than drinking a cup of coffee. Actually, it seems to have been less a confession than a boast. “Within a few minutes of talking to him, I was, like, ‘This guy owes it to the country to run for Senate,’” Katz recalled.
In the 10 months that have followed, a procession of unflattering stories have made clear how dreadfully irresponsible it was for Democrats to entrust the task of flipping what seems like the most necessary seat to secure their potential Senate majority to a man who had never run for office or led an organization of any size.
...There is no longer much question as to whether Platner is suitable for public office, and even less question as to whether plucking him from political obscurity made any sense. A more pertinent question is: What could possibly drive a professional political strategist to support such a rapid promotion in mere minutes?"

Plan A was Janet Mills. That's why Schumer recruited her personally.
The DSA just flexed their muscles and recruited Platner instead, and his combination of brain-dead oligarchy talk, Nazi tattoo, and sexual assault allegations were just what Democrat voters actually wanted.

In the general election Republicans are going to play the "democrats hate democracy" card if and when they replace him, since he won the primary.
the party is trying to figure out how best to play this given the backlash with Harris. I'm betting the other primary candidates are all making their cases.
It's gotta be Troy Jackson. My understanding is he polled just behind Platner and shares most of the same policies, so it'd be sort of a runner-up situation. I think that's the only chance they have at selling someone to voters
Maine had an election. Second place was Janet Mills. First place dropped out. Seems obvious Mills should be it right? The voters spoke.
The irony is Collins gets a pass having voted to confirm an accused sexual assaulter in Kavanaugh and RFK and usually votes with an adhjucated rapist and accused pedophile in Trump.
When they say both parties are the same, point to Platner and Cuomo getting dumped by the party while Trump is still their Dear Leader.

That means that all Platner has to do is wager everything he owns on his own staying in the race, and then do so. He will go down to a humiliating defeat, but become a wealthy man."

Platner can see how the Democrat Party has treated Biden in the aftermath of his forced stepping down in 2024.
He can't raise money for his presidential library, and the party essentially acts like his presidency didn't happen in messaging.
What promise could the party make to Platner that he'd believe in the aftermath of their treatment of Biden? Especially if the DSA that backs Platner and orchestrated his rise isn't going to back off from support of him and is the rising force within the party anyway?

There are a couple of jaw-dropping documentaries about the Burning Man festival in Nevada, focusing on the "medical teams" that cover up the frequent rapes and sex assaults that happen there every year. They have staff training sessions on how to keep the police out. Then there are hours of video of the commie feminist enforcers doing everything possible to keep the police away from the victim while simultaneously brainwashing her to not report the rape. Meanwhile, the rapists are free to continue raping-- in fact, they know ahead of time that they will be protected like this, which is why they are all drawn to Burning Man in the first place. It has essentially became a "Free Rape Zone."
The Democrats are trying to make all of America a Free Rape Zone.

But the 40% of the Maine electorate that are registered independents? Well, it's going to make retaining ME-01 a lot harder, so there's a lost House seat in a razor-thin overall House contest.
And it can be used in places like NC to peel off a few thousand soft-Democrat partisans in targeted ads.
The DNC really wants Platner gone.
The problem is that Maine Democrat voters (72% of them) decided, after learning about his Nazi tattoo and his sexual assault of a Republican woman, that he was their bag, baby.

Anyway one of the (evil) female characters hatched a plan to bring down some (married) man she wanted gone. She and him got into an affair; and she introduced BDSM into the relationship. Rape play.
The last time she ran the cameras and started acting up as usual, so the guy did what he expected to be doing. Then the woman sent the video to the guy's family. Actually the scene is pretty awful; it starts with a copy of the rape scene and then cuts to the guy's family watching the scene.
The guy took the short way out.

Oldest's team got walluped again by a team 2ish years their senior, he got robbed of a throwdown at 2nd and at 3B stolen base attempt by a shoddy field ump, dashing his 21 SB, 0 CS record. But then he mentally came back from that with some top notch form and plays behind the plate with a picture perfect need slide and toss to pitcher backup on a WP, and a 1-2-3 double play. Only 3 more games this week.
Little had a rough night, mentally, after getting two questionable calls at bat for a looking strikeout, followed by an E on a textbook second base field chance. Otherwise, he was doing great, getting two assists (2nd and pitcher), 1 PF as pitcher, and three scoreless innings to close out the game at 7-4 in the top of the 6th with a 4-6-3 double play. Although, he didn't get any Ks, they got a lot of weak hits, ground outs, and fly outs.
This was the same team that had, four weeks prior, rung him up for 6 runs, including 2 HRs. He was super nervous.

1. She provided plenty of written evidence from the time of the break in and rape.
2. She immediately broke off her previous relationship, she says. Do you know different?
3. She told exactly the same story to the NYT when they were researching their catch-and-kill story on Lyndsey Fifield, and the NYT deep-sixed it.
The Democrat poobahs revived this story because Platner is going to lose and they want to get rid of him while they can. That's the "op", and having Fake Jake do the interview is the tip-off.

1. I'm not aware of any contemporary evidence of the rape. She says she had some, but then ... deleted it.
"Racicot said she later deleted all her texts and social media correspondence with Platner as she tried to move on from the assault, and said she has not been able to recover the Instagram messages she sent him about the incident."
Oh come on.
2. She has been vague about an "on-again, off-again" relationship with the Nazi and exactly when she cut it off after the alleged rape.

The point is that they're less overtly tied to the Democrat party in partisan terms, signalling an independent streak that will allow them to break from the party.
You know...how Collins keeps winning re-election. She appeals to them.
There will be a percentage that are Democrat partisans anyway (and a smaller slice, probably, who are Republican partisans), who vote for the party in every election. But registered independents are materially different from something like "self-identified independents" as indicated in polling.
They do have generalized more independent streaks than those who register for actual parties.
The overall trend varies from state to state (NC independents lean to the right, for instance).

I'm not convinced that the DNC has $10 Million to spare. I think they've lost a significant piece of their illegal fund raising operation just in the last 2 years. USAID, Act Blue distribution system, and I'd venture to say that the whole Day Care/ Hospice angle is part of a DNC funding operation as well. When Biden tossed those operations $47 Billion in appropriations, and then shut down the oversight apparatus purposefully, it was sort of a clue. I think the DNC reports funds, but is sitting in debt currently.

"Chao finally broke her silence through a spokesperson on Tuesday, July 7, in a statement to multiple outlets, including Louisville CBS affiliate WLKY and The Daily Beast.
A spokesperson for Chao told those news organizations in a statement that “the secretary was on a long-planned trip in China to support her family’s philanthropic endeavors.”
“During the trip, she met with a number of people, including the US ambassador,” the statement said. “The Senator’s health did not warrant an immediate return to the US.
According to The Daily Beast, Chao is now back in the United States, but her spokesperson did not disclose what day she returned or whether she was with her husband the day he was hospitalized."

The leading alternatives are a state legislative leader that threw something at a female staffer that has now been reported (and likely to have even more scandals in the closet) or a sitting D governor (Mills) who is apparently so politically weak that she suspended her losing campaign against Platner even when nasty allegations were swirling around Platner before the primary.
If Mills was a stronger candidate, she would have beaten Mills in the primary rather than suspend her campaign before it.
I don't think this is a wave year for Democrats comparable to 2018---might even, depending on the breaks, be more like 1998 when a scandalous Bill Clinton managed to do well in the midterms gaining seats despite his Lewinsky fling and both Newt and his successor Livingstone had to resign before the new House even sat.
The wild card was Iran and the threatened oil spike was never large enough to throw us into recession especially after the markets figured that Iran got its balls cut off right now.

Democrats 'truths' are always situationally dependent. She could be making the statement that Platner has addressed those concerns and is now moving forward in about two weeks and the Democrats would then promptly rally around the stinky turd.

Trump Renews Strikes on Iran After Iran Attacks Three Tankers in the Strait; Announces the Ceasefire Is Over, and He's Not Interested in Talking Any Further to Iranian "Scum"
Of course I understand why Trump wants a "deal" -- the midterms are approaching and the never-ending pseudowar with Iran hurts the economy and his chances.
Also, the war with Iran can be postponed and rescheduled for a more convenient time. The midterms can't be. But here's the trouble, as I've said over and over: Iran knows Trump is desperate for a "deal" -- pathetically desperate, I'd say -- and so they believe he will ignore any and all the violations of the "deal" they never really agreed to. And barely even pretended to agree to. In other words, they are counting on Trump to just let them go back to war with the world, as long as he can pretend to the public he's got a "deal." Well, Trump was downplaying Iran's serious, serial violations of the fake "deal." But then they want too far, and attacked ships again, and Trump could no longer cover up for them. He could not longer pretend he had a "deal."Iran flouted the MOU -- the memorandum of understanding that the ceasefire is predicated upon-- from the beginning. They were to keep the strait open, and stop extorting "tolls" from ships passing through. (Which they immediately used to buy weapons.) Trump and the allies attempted to softly tiptoe around Iran's clear violation of the terms of the ceasefire by creating a safe route through the strait without paying the illegal "tolls." Iran shot up three ships using this route, determined to force them into paying "tolls," and absolutely violating the most basic provisions of the MOU.
Amit Segal
@AmitSegal It seems we'll have to slip a page and a half into Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's coffin on its funeral procession, after Trump declared in a press conference this morning that, in his opinion, "the memorandum of understanding...is dead." RIP. It was only 21 days old. The causes of death of the two are the same: Iranian hubris. The supreme leader believed the Israeli and American threats were empty and was buried, and his successor believed the U.S. was so desperate that the MoU could survive Iran's numerous violations. Until they pushed too far. The fatal sequence began on Monday, when Iranian missiles struck two tankers--one carrying Qatari gas off the Omani coast, the other a Saudi-flagged oil carrier inside the Strait of Hormuz itself. On Tuesday, a drone went after a third. The vessels' offense: transiting the strait without Tehran's blessing. The U.S. answered last night, first revoking the waiver that allowed Iranian oil to be sold around the world, then striking more than 70 military targets around the strait. By this morning, Iran's armed forces claimed to have hit 85 U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. Despite the dramatic declaration, don't expect the status quo to change significantly. The midterms have not been rescheduled, the global economy has not outgrown the strait, and Trump does not believe returning to war will net him the results he wants in the time he wants it. The statement was less a policy shift than a confirmation that the contemporary Middle East is defined by a single word: uncertainty. It joins a long list of such confirmations--the sudden end of the war, the sudden announcement of the MoU, the sudden outbreak of the war in the first place. Even as I write this, a miraculous resurrection of the agreement is only one Truth Social post away. One can hardly stay aloof while watching the fate of a region swing this violently, but at this point, "surprise" is no longer the accurate word. As far as I'm concerned, this is a return to April's status quo: no peace and no war. For Israel, that is the second-favorite position on the board--the favorite, a war actively grinding the regime down, is over for now. But a pause is not a rewind. With the oil waiver revoked and the sanctions back on, Tehran is frozen in its beaten position, with no hope of unfrozen assets bridging its fatal liquidity gap. Jerusalem can wait, hoping the regime buckles under its own internal pressures. And while it waits, it can keep dismembering the proxies, whose patron is in no condition to come to their aid. As for the strait, during the war, Iran set up a toll booth. In response, the Gulf states and the Americans quietly paved a bypass, routing traffic along the Omani side of the waterway and slipping millions of barrels of oil past the barrier. If the diplomacy is dead, expect the U.S. to double down on the Omani lane--and Iran to do everything it can to force traffic back through the booth. This week, Iranian media reported that the UAE had proposed a plan to the International Maritime Organization to manage the strait--a plan backed by eight unnamed Emirati "allies" and promptly rejected by Tehran, which claimed it lacked "legal basis" and exceeded the IMO Council's technical mandate. No details of the plan have surfaced, and no regional or Western outlet has confirmed it exists. But the same regime-affiliated outlets followed up with a statement from an "informed" source: all transit through the strait must be in accordance with Iranian arrangements. Tehran has likewise objected to a recent Omani proposal under which shipping companies would voluntarily pay fees to use the strait. Now that Iran no longer has to pretend to abide by the MoU, expect no more empty overtures toward joint management. Expect declarations to the effect that sailing the strait will be like driving through Tehran: on Iranian roads, under Iranian rules. The U.S. will respond to this morning's attacks, but Iran priced that in the moment it launched. This isn't brinkmanship built on a bet that Washington won't shoot back. It's Tehran's strategy from the war: pit America's economic tolerance against Iran's pain tolerance, and wait for Washington to conclude that paying the toll is cheaper than the drama of collecting it. To Tehran's credit, that bet has paid off before, but this time they may have overplayed their hand.

Raylan GivensI imagine Trump will announce a new "deal" within 24 hours. He's making himself look absolutely ridiculous. If that sounds absurd-- well, he just reconciled with... Michael Cohen. Ed Morrissey:
@JewishWarrior13 2h ⭕ I can't overstate the strategic damage the Iran MOU caused the US. The sentiment in Israel and the region is very low trust in the US; they believe Trump will change his mind again, and they will not run to stand with the US after paying a high price during the war. Saudi Arabia will still get closer to Iran, and others will look for deals with Iran too. They no longer perceive the US as the strong partner that they can rely on. This flip-flopping needs to end; otherwise, it will get worse from here.
Trump also threatened to capture Kharg Island, and said that Iran wouldn't be able to prevent it. That would effectively seize their entire oil-export system, and Trump has been talking about that strategy for nearly 40 years. That would require boots on the ground, of course, and that would create even more complications here at home for Trump. Is this a pose for leverage, or has Trump decided that talks with "cuckoo" terrorists are truly a waste of time? I'm not sure which way to bet.As I've said from the beginning: You just can't win a war without a ground component. Airpower theorists have been promising a Victory from the Skies since World War Two and they still cannot deliver. Trump -- and most Republicans -- are confused on their foreign policy imperatives. Do you want peace at almost any price, and do you want a guarantee of "no boots on the ground, ever"? Okay, that's possible. But do you also want to use American might to punish and knock out hostile foreign terror-states? That's also possible. But you can't have both of these things at the same time. You can't have minimum investment in an armed conflict and also maximal results. What we are willing to do must be brought into some kind of close alignment with what we want to accomplish -- or, vice versa, what we want to accomplish has to be reduced to better align with what we're willing to do. We want to accomplish major things, but with a minor commitment. Won't work. Never has.

Apparently a bar near Madison square garden, despite the World Cup and the busy 4th of July weekend, had almost no customers because the Taylor swift wedding blocked off all the surrounding streets for security. The bar is asking her team, the mayor, the garden, anyone they can to make it right for the revenue they lost from the wedding spectacle, and no one is responding. Story at Breitbart.
Taylor and her team were willing to conspicuously donate money in a massive PR offensive attack before her wedding, to keep the socialists off her back. But she and her team are ignoring a business her wedding shenanigans actually hurt. Not a good look.

Yes, the problem with too many people is that they lack patience. The facts are that Iran does not possess a working military anymore--it has essentially become a geographic locale of pirates. It cannot invade anymore, project its forces beyond sending drones and missiles, and protect its own airspace from decapitation strikes and degradation of its assets.
And it cannot shut the straits no matter how hard they try anymore. All they can do is be blown up, die, and marginally affect the price of oil.
Like Albania, they have few friends without being able to sell their oil, and have pissed off most of their neighbors except perhaps Pakistan and Afghanistan, neither of which can help them much without repercussions against both of those weak governments.

Far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars ... there's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. As far as I'm concerned, it's over."

Eh, Japan is a pretty good example, though it might have been the last. And required killing thousands of civilian non-combatants - women and children. At the time of the Tokyo firebombings it was suggested this was the largest number of human beings killed in one fell swoop during a war or somesuch.
Everyone likes to portray Gen. Curtis LeMay as a crazy cigar smoking lunatic ala Dr. Strangelove but he was quite rational and competent.
Bomber losses were horrific to say the least in the ETO, his point was if the targets are not destroyed, they will have to keep going back again and again.
Nobody was too keen on flying B-29s at low altitude, but they had discovered a thing called the slipstream at 30,000 feet throwing off their aim considerably.
I wonder sometimes if modern precision bombing could have altered the war. Take out Berchtesgarden or key meeting points, cut off the head of the snake. Wiping out Dresden and Hamburg didn’t help anything really. The raids on Schweinfurt ball bearing plants and Romanian oil plants didn’t do much either

The problem is that Trump pulled his punch. Like spanking your kid with 3 strokes after promising 10, and saying "I think you've learned your lesson." Because every time after that, the kid knows he's getting 3 strokes when you tell him he will receive 10 for some violation.
The other problem is that Trump is dealing as a business man. He seeks profit (no, not the idea of more money, but some advantage) from every "deal" he makes. Which is fine when you're making deals around the edges or with someone who just thinks you're a competitor. But it is a very bad concept when dealing with an actual enemy who is working toward wiping your country off the face of the earth, if they can manage it.
He should have stuck to "regime change at the Iranian people's behest" as the goal of all of these actions.

--
Early on, I saw some folks saying Trump did not want a deal.
It was from anti-Trump folks, the gist was that he was going to make outrageous demands, lie and all that so he could blame the Iranians; that the Iranians were the honest dealers.
I saw it the other way:
Trump always knew a deal would never happen.
But, by constantly dangling a "deal" 1) the world would get bored and 2) he'd be free to show he did all he could to end the war.
Even folks here had been berating Trump, for the deal, for wanting a deal, for even talking about a deal--citing his own words.
Trump never needed a deal--Iran did.
Trump only needed time. And that's how I read between the lines of everything he and the rest of his Admin said.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at July 08, 2026 12:36 PM (3cUTc)
Now? Not before? Supposedly there is hope to squeak by and keep the house and senate, we will see.
If Trump puts American boots on the ground, for sure the midterms are toast, and I think he knows it. That is a line that ace points out we probably needed to cross to win this decisively. But that's not a line Trump was willing to cross at the time, or that most of his supporters will accept.
How did we have a massive amount of drone precision strikes taking out a new Iranian leader every day, and now nothing? I keep waiting to hear news the new gay mullah has been killed. Nothing.

The truth is once massive US bloodshed is off the table, the rest of it consists of the natterings of our pundit class that loathes Trump and wants a resolution immediately. Most of them never served and particularly in point of the spear units and think themselves too precious to risk a pinky.
Yet are all in on stupid ideas like we have to send troops in to topple the regime which is a patently stupid idea that simply would never fly politically absent something like a nuclear strike on the US.
If we could contain the Soviet Union without a nuclear war for decades, then we can certainly keep Iran in the box as it is more a threat to its immediate neighbors than us but trying to reconstruct armed forces sufficient to project power is a no go as they can and will be destroyed.
Regime change is going to have to be organic when the Iranians have had enough and are willing to kill enough of these assholes IRGC in the streets to end the regime.

I was assured that Trump was so desperate for a deal that he agreed to give Iran $300 billion just to sign a meaningless MOU that they were going to violate anyway.
No one involved has said that Iran has received any money. At all.
The $12 billion in frozen funds? Still frozen. Used as a carrot to get Iran to act like a normal country, and they couldn't do it.
The oil sales? Well, most of their tankers are still at sea and suddenly can't sell to anyone who wants to be part of the global banking system. So, they get $30 a barrel from China again (assuming they even get to China) without the ability to refill their tankers because we'll just take them like we took their shadow fleet during the blockade.
What if the MOU was fake, everyone knew it was fake, and it was just diplomatic pablum to get oil markets to calm down and the Gulf States an opportunity to realize how Iran won't play nice.

Bullshit, e.g. 2002 elections and Bush's popularity after wins in Iraq war soared to 90 percent approval. Wars only cost political power if and when body bags and economic unrest comes into play. Neither are particularly true in this case.

European countries did extract resources from the new world, but of course that's mostly because the natives were too primitive to do so themselves.
But let's have fun with this. Determine every unit of value Britain extracted from the current lands of the US and send them a build adjusted for inflation and 250 years of interest. I mean colonialism is wrong isn't Euroniks? So pay up.

It's a fair complaint. But in that scenario, how does it really impact the voters here, and how does any political power in the US stop Trump from doing it. Iran had completely fallen off the front pages, and the back pages. Oil will spike a bit and then it will fall even lower. And Iran will fall even further off the pages. Iran is praying for something to stop Trump in the midterms. Nothing that can happen in the midterms will stop him. The GOP is not losing the Senate. The House will be super close. Oil prices will continue to fall.

My first instinct is to airdrop a shitload of hardcore porn on every mosque, just as a big "fuck you". Mix in some Liberator resistance kits (Glock 19 and 4 mags, a box of 9mm, and a 1/2 lb block of C4 with a modern Where Eagles Dare style detonator). Don't send them through the Kurds or any other mohammedan organized group, that was dumb, and I suspect that had a lot to do with the Ivy League poofters at CIA getting a case of the vapors over the idea of the average blue-collar Persian being armed.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 08, 2026 12:39 PM (GKDy+)
Goode was a much cleaner shoot than Pretti IMHO. The imminent danger to officers was objectively verifiable by going to the replay. The Pretti thing was way more chaotic and harder to discern the imminent danger to the officers, which is probably why (at least it seemed to me) the left was able to make stronger arguments and keep it in the news a little longer. YMMV...

If Trump can get this Iran mess sorted out by fall, but more importantly if our oil prices plummet, and Americans find things more affordable, republicans have a good shot at surviving midterms.
Especially with the new certified electoral maps favoring GOP. And if voting fraud can get cleaned up. I have a feeling Thune is in power to thwart the SAVE act. But if that magically passes it will also help.

The 2004 elections gave W a second term, and increased the House margin.
Then Iraq went bad in 05 and 06 and the Democrats won the House, the Senate, and a majority of state governorships.

Taking them would deny Iran eyes on the southern approach to Hormuz from in the gulf. Abu Musa is only 60km off the coast of UAE. Tunb is 80km and right in the middle of the gulf. Taking them would make it much harder to attack shipping in Hormuz because it would make ships hard for Iran to find until they enter the straits themselves.

It's a messy topic, it's ok if responses are messy too. I always saw that as a feature of the blog, not a bug, actually. We don't have a hivemind that if someone betrays the Borg, they must be purged. I like the differing opinions here and the fiestiness.
One of my points of pride in defending Trump to the haters was his first term, he started zero new wars. That talking point is long gone for him. I truly hope this was done because Iran was close to actually having a bomb and becoming the North Korea of the desert, and we had to step in now. But it might be years before we know the real truth of why Iran, and why now.

Trump got what he really needed out of that MOU.
Prior to the deal, idk, something like a hundred or more tankers were stuck on the wrong side of Iran.
During the ceasefire*, many or most of them, were let through.
Now they can re-enter the global supply chain.
The 7 million barrels per day Saudi is pumping now though their East-West pipeline.
And the UAE North-South pipeline of 2 million per day inches closer to completion and online in early 2027.
That's what Trump really needed--those boats back on supply runs.
And that's why oil prices haven't spiked, even though the Strait is close. Again. For the 37th time.
But Trump is aa dum-dum who don't know nothing and always keeps winning despite being so stupid.
* not including the 30 or so ships Trump revealed they helped sneak through the blockade during the war.

I continue to believe, as I have since the jump, that the news reports coming out of Iran -- both positive and negative -- are totally unreliable. You can wipe your ass with them. They might be more bogus than the 550th Ukrainian offensive.
I believe none of it. Because of that, I can't really determine how well the Iran war is going.

Both german and japan acted exactly like iran is acting now.

That’s exactly how several other Presidents got trapped into Forever Wars. A situation exlsts which cannot be ignored, but for political reasons they’re unwilling to do what is needed to end it.
So the war drags on and on and on.
The biggest irony is that in trying to protect the midterms from the impact of the war, Trump is guaranteeing that the war will be fought during the midterms.

It replaced roughly 6.5 million barrels per day pretty much instantly. About a third of the traffic lost in the strait.
Plus, other paths brought it up to about 9.8 million.
So, half of the strait traffic in oil was redirected literally within days. All while exports from other oil producers (us, Norway, Venezuela) grew and demand destruction happened fast in Asia, especially Chinese plastics. Oh, and UAE left OPEC+ because they wanted to pump more. OPEC+ is now allowing its member nations to pump more as well.
We were at equilibrium in weeks, at most, which was why we never got that $200 barrel oil we were promised by Qatar.

Iranians told us so in our negotiations and we could see the Iranians trying to dig out the enriched uranium from the strikes last year and that is separate from any Israeli situation analysis of Iran's nuke program who knew more about the situation than any of us do.
Statement against interest by the Iranians that they had enough to make twelve bombs or so directly to US emissaries in negotiations.
And you might have forgotten air strikes against ISIS in his first term and killing the IRGC Soleimani among other US actions along with continuing to occupy and protect the Afghani government from the Taliban.
Iran was and is a menace to others via drones and missiles, and to a minor degree with terrorism and mining the Straits. We no longer depend on the Straits for our oil due to Trump.

1) oil is an international price at the moment, it is all done through futures trading, and then finding the oil to satisfy the purchases. While raking off the difference of course (unlike say, coal or Tungsten that don't really have a big futures market)
2) a fair amount of oil exited through the straits, and any disruption caused a panic in the price of oil
3) Europe and Asia mostly got oil via the straits so when it gets blocked they feel it worse.
4) The USN mostly guaranteed the straits and the Iran embargo, so we get called when there is a problem.
add to this
4) Iran was selling discounted oil by running the embargo, and China was getting it cheap and reselling it for a profit

Its a men thing that most men won't speak frankly about their real taste in women. I remember in the early '90s when Pamela Anderson was at her peak that most guys would pretend they were more into Jennifer Aniston. They reasoned to themselves (and sometimes outloud) "Jennifer seems nice", being silly enough to think Jennifer might give them the time of day were they to meet. Your odds with peak-era-Pamela were roughly the same as Jennifer Aniston, but guys just wouldn't admit that Pamela was molten-lava hot and that Jennifer wasn't.

Bombing Iran into submission isn't the issue. It's what comes next and there is always a next.
We didn't do a regime change in Venezuela. The person now running the country was pretty much running it prior to taking out Maduro. Nobody even mentions the place anymore. But if Trump takes down the Iranian government somebody has to run the place.
Regime change in the Middle East has a long history and none of it is good. Sometimes there are no easy answers, just less bad ones.

199 I think the Kharg Island talk is the wrong starting position. Take Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunb and Siri first. These are all sparsely populated islands controlled by Iran in the gulf. A couple have air fields, and military facilities on them. Iran uses them to monitor Gulf ship traffic headed towards the straits of Hormuz. The UAE claims them as their soveriegn territory as well, but Iran has boots on the ground.“
Agree completely, add Qeshm and I’ve been advocating for that for months. And we know CENTCOM has prepared for it, that’s why amphibious troops were moved to the area.
Kharg is financially and politically important, but it has little strategic value and could be costly to hold. These other islands have incredible strategic value; whoever controls them controls traffic through the straits.

In this case our terms are actually pretty minor - stop attack shipping in the Gulf and stop funding Islamist groups.
But we have been very, very measured in the pain we've inflicted. Amusingly enough to get the civilian government eager to accept our terms, but not the IRGC which has the weapons.
So the answer should be obvious - target them and start inflicting pain. And no killing their grunts doesn't count they are perfectly willing to send their military forces to meet Allah...

The Mullahs and their secret police would never stoop to the Stalinist tactic of rounding up mourners and executing the ones that were not sufficiently performative.
Why, (yes I am being sarcastic here) setting up spectacles for international media consumption to damage morale is far outside their simple, pastoralist mindset. They have never once (I am really being sarcastic here I am afraid) put out a propaganda video proving that everyone loves the IRGC regime and its mighty weapons of mass destruction.

We can meet our goal of taking control of the straits without regime change. (As detailed in posts above) Once Iran has no more ability to threaten the straits, then the government becomes just an annoyance, not a threat to the world’s economic system.
Also we must finish the job of ending their missile threat against their neighbors, a job we started but quit before it was over.

Iran now has the GDP equivalent of Uganda.
Their people are most likely starving at this point. 25% of their imports were food and 50% of their food was imported.
Their ability to project power in the region is massively reduced to blindly flying GPS guided drones and hoping they hit something.
They can't trade oil...again.
We're getting close to the point where we can ignore Iran and the region moves on without them.

all granted but geography is eternal. Persia is too large and close too too much to be ignored. Power will be taken, but someone or something. Hell at this point, I'd let Iraq govern Persia.

I would also note that the last time a massive bombing campaign was used to get somebody to the negotiation table was in North Vietnam. The lasting result of that is North Vietnam won the war and the US got stuck with Hanoi Jane.
They are never going to negotiate a settlement.
All they're going to do is buy time until Trump is out of office and go from there. If the Democrats get power the odds of a US capitulation deal is high and we're back to square one.
Which leaves us limping along with fake negotiations, or going balls to the wall by blockading them and bombing their infrastructure until they come to their senses or a revolution takes out the mullahs and the IRGC.
Still, bombing the hell out of them was the right choice even with all these challenges. Having a nuclear Iran is simply unthinkable.

I've been consistent.
Cooper should be considered the underdog because of registration changes (look at NC senate polling from 2020 for a quick comparison to polling now, by the way, Cunningham was going to run away with the race in June). As well as other issues (his record during Helene, letting criminals out leading to Ilyiana's death).
To go worse than 52, the GOP would have to lose TX, OH, AK, or IA. And those aren't happening.
52 is actually a worst case scenario.
Best case would probably be 55. Holding NC and gaining MI and GA. But there's going to be precious little change overall. The important thing is reducing the terrible mix within the GOP senate caucus.

You can't defeat an ideology with bombs and bullets. History is pretty clear on this. We are currently fighting a communist insurgency in our own country long after the Soviet Union fell.
China is a far bigger threat to the world's economic system, particularly ours, than Iran will ever be. We are fighting various forms of warfare with them on a daily basis. Dropping bombs on Iran until the place is rubble is a temporary solution to the underlying problem of an ideology that praises death over life.
Anyone who believes that simply bombing the current regime into submission is going to permanently end radical Islam is kidding themselves.

Ah, so we knew that they would close it and we let them? Maybe because we wanted to? But then Trump tweeted "Open the fuckin Strait.... Praise be to Allah," so he seemed to want it open. Ah, I see, that was 5D chess, Art of the Deal.
If you haven't gotten off Trump's dick at this point, you never will.
Posted by: Junior Varsity Rapist at July 08, 2026 01:21 PM (Al4+r)
Anyone in the region can "close the strait" by lobbing a few missiles. It was a known cost going in and has been in planning for decades.
You're either too stupid to comprehend this or too blinded by your hatred to deal with anything regarding trump.

Do you know any young people? I have employees who bitch incessantly about the price of gas. Do not underestimate this! Trump knows because he wanted the MOU to work.
"Hormuz has been understood for decades, which is why it was half-neutralized before the war began and in a few years shall be fully irrelevant."
Even half neutralized, it still caused massive price spikes in oil and gas. Iran has also hit the pipelines that go around it. I do agree the one silver lining to this war, is probably more pipelines get built.
But that is in 2-3 years time, not now.

Our goal wasn't the strait.
Our goal was ending their nuclear program and getting Iran to stop funding terrorist proxies. To get it to operate like a normal country.
It's what Rubio, Hegseth, and Trump said in the opening.

Not realizing the strategic importance of the strait, and the way that Iran could use it to threaten the world’s economy, was a huge planning error on our part. Especially since literally hundreds, if not thousands of people, have written and talked about that for 40 years now.
We just did not take it seriously, and most all of the problems we’ve faced have come from that error.

I say that it is not our responsibility to sort out which parties are responsible for ripping up the MOU and throwing it in the world's face. Our responsibility to the safety of the American people is to ensure that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And if that means blowing up their entire infrastructure and turning Iran into a wasteland, that's on the everybody holding political power in that terrorist land.

Oil prices were briefly at Obama levels, unadjusted for inflation. It's something that needs doing and the cost has been lower than it would have been for most of the last couple decades. Nuclear Iran in the long run would have been far more costly, even in relatively optimistic scenarios.

Not worrying about the enemy's capacity for asymmetric warfare is why Iran has functional control over the Strait of Hormuz. How many times are you going to make the mistake of underestimating the power of a small, determined country to control a choke point?

First, it remains to be seen if Terrorist Iran has "functional" control" of the SoH. At this point, it's a matter of insurance risks and premiums. In 72 hours, that might not matter ... at all. As for small countries, however much determined, attempting to hold the world hostage by "closing" a choke point, well, they can try.

I am mystified as to why anyone thinks the "Iran doesn't control the strait, they just scared the insurance companies" argument is a meaningful distinction. It's like you think traffic isn't *really* stopped unless Iran does it by having the capacity to sink every ship. No, the disruption to the global economy is real.
It does mean that if some other surety stepped up, more traffic would get through. But if my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle.

Wednesday Morning Rant
USMCA remains in effect, but it is likely the beginning of the end for a trilateral North American trading bloc. This is, in part, because the USMCA did not serve one of its intended purposes, which is defense against Red China. Also a part of it is strained diplomatic ties between the two most important partners - the United States and Canada. Red China is a part of that issue, as well. The objectives of the USMCA of non-parasitic cooperation among the North American powers and containment of major foreign economic threats have not been met. One reason they have not been met is Canada's behavior, particularly under Carney.
It is not exactly a secret that Canada/US relations have been strained. There was often tension during Trudeau's administration, and that has accelerated markedly under Carney. Carney is openly hostile to the United States and has shifted Canadian policy not toward cooperation at home but to courting opportunities abroad. Specifically, Carney is aggressively pursuing the one thing that the USMCA was supposed to disincentivize: closer relations with Red China. In January of this year, Carney visited Beijing and Canada and Red China announced the Canada-China Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap, including such items as preferring existing WTO rules and frameworks, encouraging "personnel exchanges," easing financial transactions between the countries, etc. The USMCA died not on its July 1, 2026 renewal deadline but with that January 16, 2026 joint announcement. What comes next is unclear. It is unlikely that any of the three parties will simply void the agreement and exit in the immediate future, but it probably won't be renewed during the annual reviews to come. There is now a clock running. On July 1, 2036, the agreement will expire and I don't expect it to make it to the final deadline. With Carney moving Canada into Red China's orbit as quickly as possible, there is no way to reconcile the disagreement. This is not an argument over some fine point like a tariff rate or national origin requirements, this is a disagreement over who is the preferred partner of a crucially important member state. The ball is in Canada's court, and she would rather play with Red China. This is by no means a sure positive for Canada, given some of her other economic partners. One of the benefits of the USMCA for the three countries' trading partners has been that the bloc provides a predictable operating environment. As that environment breaks apart, it is going to ripple in other economies. A major country to watch as this unfolds is Japan. Japan has taken full advantage of the trading bloc and has factories and other business operations throughout the continent. Over three quarters of Canada's auto manufacturing industry is thanks to Japanese automakers. The Japan Business Federation came out in support of extending the USMCA (with a wishlist of Japan-friendly recommendations for change, of course). So what will Japan do as the USMCA winds down and is ultimately replaced? Is Toyota's movement of some production from Mexico to Texas a sign of things to come? Unless something changes, the intermediate-term effects of this breakdown will go well beyond mere trading economics. For generations, Canada and the United States have been vitally important partners to each other. We have been two distinct countries with compatible cultures, economic integration, deep diplomatic ties, stalwart military alliance and general friendliness at the micro and the macro. That is fracturing in real time as Ottawa pursues ever-tighter coupling with Beijing. The obvious distaste Canada's ruling class has for the United States in general and Donald Trump in particular is secondary, but serves to add yet more strain to an already strained relationship. This strain has likely ended the USMCA. Whether it is also the beginning of the end for generally good US/Canada relations remains to be seen.Comments

Carney isn't. Like the UK and Europe, they have turned to China as a trading partner because of their elites worshipping Net Zero and population replacement. And the common link is fascism--as Euroland and Canada's governments becomes more fascist to crush their native populations, the more sympatico they are with China. And China replaces the US as a customer with Euroland and Canada/Australia/New Zealand.
WEF banksta Carney who was formerly director of the UK's central bank, is not really a Canadian, but a functionary of the Globo Homo community destroying the West as we know it.
They are doing this purposefully, not blundering into it. Because the ruling classes hate freedom, hate their native populations having a say in governance, and hate people in general. Nasty creatures that make Gollum look sympathetic.

Nothing is going to be decided in a hurry. I think Trump intended all along to kill the MCA after he replaced NAFTA with it. And to that end, is why he insulted Canadians on purpose which caused an election with the Liberals in charge again rather than some weak coalitional government under Poliviere.
People agree that Trump is a deal maker but what they don't get is behind that is someone that uses deals to get what they want and he will use any tool in the arsenal to do that. Flattery, carrots, sticks, sanctions, insults, etc. etc.
Canada had already integrated much of its role in facilitating Chinese imports evading US limits in the treaty and a weak right coalitional government was not going to upend that dynamic nor would they rearm Canada to take care of their own defense. So Canada's right is similar to the Euro right--they are not willing to shut down immigration, fair trade with the US, nor end net zero type policies.

China is using fossil fuels (and strip mining Africa for rare earth metals) to manufacture 'clean' energy 'solutions' to sell to the West, with all the quality that the Made in China branding comes with, and using some of the profit to make it lucrative for the Western elites and to propagandize to Western citizens. A pretty good, if devious and dishonest, business model.

Invading a country is one thing.
Holding it is an entirely different problem.
The Islamist invasion of Europe is working because the invaders are outbreeding the natives and NO ONE is putting up a significant struggle.
China is imploding demographically. Unlikely to outbreed the natives here. And they may experience significant resistance from states if not the feds.

Hard to admit that your own country is run by traitors (right and left) and their version of the uniparty we have here is dead set on evil measures of utmost depravity.
This is what is hindering the right in the West, they are simply not willing to gatekeep to keep the globo homo out of their ranks and the globo homo types end up by treachery and links with their left in doing in those intending to do good.
Our own Congress with GOPe is a perfect example--Trump is betrayed again and again by the likes of Thune and his McConnell acolytes. In the House, you have traitors like Massie and MTG along with the lesser known types like Fitzpatrick and Salazar, etc. etc. or state governors like Kemp. Which is why the GOPe tries to ditch winning races again and again to keep the balance close and Democrats in effective opposition allied with GOPe types to prevent genuine confrontation with China and Musloids.

What does he have to lose by staying, or more precisely, by extracting the maximum pounds of flesh he can, since his political career is dead? He's just negotiating now.
As Dana Perino (spit, but she's right on this one) said about the Dems: "The problem for the base is that they have consultants who are idiots and they are reckless and they are careless, and they don't care about women," Perino said. "They don't care about anything. But what they want is the power. And the only reason this is all coming at this moment is because they knew they were going to lose."
Platner knows this.

Its inevitable without Divine Intervention.
It has been determined that White People are not permitted to have land, use natural resources, build wealth or procreate.
But its perfectly fine for anyone else to do all of those things. In fact, the pattern is to distribute land, resources, wealth and the ability procreate on to Other Than White.
So China will take Canada and mine the hell out of it and use whatever land is fertile, to dominate the food industry - all with slave labor (as usual).

To be fair, bullshit media, government, k12 schools, and society in the US pushed everyone to college, everyone needs to learn how to code, which was all self serving bullshit for Big Education. Meanwhile every single corporation was bringing in cheap labor from places like China and India, outsourcing to those companies, etc. Corporate America was full on globo homo and DEI made it worse for new grads.
And the US is profitting from those loans based on student loan interest rates being much above those given to giant monster mega banks at the Fed window. Obammy by banning private loans moved to those interest rates funding Obamacare.
So there is a lot of blame here to share--not just the yutes. And we are going to have to fix the mess just as we did with the handouts to big corporations during the 2007-9 economic crunch.

When Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers arrived at the scene, Asrarov, who holds a commercial driver's license (CDL) from Ohio, tried ripping off the dash camera and tried to destroy it by smashing it, sources said.
He also tried to smash and destroy his three phones and his logging device, Fox is told.

Hasan Piker disagrees with you. (He's definitely a sex pest if not a rapist; Dave Rubin has shared many times he harrassed women at their workplace so much, they were forced to make him work solely from home, to protect the female coworkers. And I think he's a lapsed Muslim but definitely an Islamist. But he comfortably fits in the middle of a Venn diagram of all those three things.)
Or, you can be all those three things and be a commentator. Running for office, maybe that's tougher.

The members of Dave Matthews Band were not on or near the bus during the incident.[2][3] The band's bus driver, Stefan Wohl, initially denied dumping the waste, and was supported by the band. However, he was later determined to be the only person on the bus during the incident; in April 2005, he pleaded guilty to the dumping, and the band fired him without pay.[4]

We have had shit sandwiches for a long time beginning with the Federal government assuming Revolutionary War debts of the states--some states had paid back most of it, others had not. Some states got devastated by war, particularly the South in the later stages, other places did not. And the new government trying to restore the credit of the US had to levy taxes on something to pay the debt--and it chose booze and imports to do it which caused the Whiskey Rebellion and pissed off the South. And yet it led to a US solid enough to take a regional depression from Jefferson banning trade with the Brits leading to a marginal loss in the War of 1812 and still not break.
National interests have to persevere over personal piques and animosities--the yutes need help and if the GOP does not do it, the Democrats will do it.
The cost should be a total rip out and revamp of the higher educational system.

Canada is most definitely entering into the "Find Out" phase of FAFO. I'm going to live in "interesting times", per the old Chinese curse. How apt that will apply given that Carney and his communist Liberal Party are cozying up real tight with the CCP.
Now as to why the Liberals keep getting in? Either the voting system in Canada has been corrupted and can't be trusted to provide an honest vote, or a majority of my fellow countrymen believe the lies of socialism because they haven't lived through the "Everything fails, most people die" version (which socialists and communists desperately try to ignore, and later claim that 'real socialism/communism' hasn't been tried yet, which is gaslighting nonsense.)
Doesn't really matter which it is, the Liberals have power, and they absolutely intend to hang on to it, to the detriment of us all.
This is going to get very, VERY ugly for us.

We don't need or want AB as a state for a number of reasons, but as an independent country with tight military and economic ties, it's ideal. Imagine a Puerto Rico that spoke English, had zero percent feral population, and supported itself.
Besides the benefits to the US (and to the rank and file Albertans who.would no longer sending the majority of their economic surplus to Ottowa in the form of transfer payments to bribe Quebec), it would be a burr under the saddle to Carney or a successor anti-US PM.
The follow-on effects (independent Quebec?) should provide plenty of impediments to the planned Chinese hegemony over Canada.

The dem hosts of Blocked and Reported did a podcast on him before the new rape allegations that are finally being taken seriously. They both mocked him through their entire podcast and said he's ridiculous. But they would have held their loses and voted for him, even if he's distasteful, because Susan Collins has got to go and they need the senate back.
Ironically they say Collins votes with Trump most of the time, but conservatives think the exact opposite.

I think the people in the West and the US are waking up but it takes time we don't have. While the traitors are trying desperately to set up a fait accompli where elections mean nothing, the West continues to be impoverished and destroyed internally, and the Musloids and other detritus from the Turd World continue to invade.
To win, it means the masses have to engage in political action despite the fact it is a rigged game.
And it means turning off the mass media and digging up facts for themselves on blogs, X, and other places like here. Consider every media face as one step from becoming Qatarlson and every politician turning into MTG. Eternal vigilance.
Right now, we outnumber Globo Homo elites but we let ourselves get distracted by wedge issues promoted by mass media to divide us. When in fact, the ghoulish Uniparty delights in such matters. And that is why elections have to be cleansed first to eliminate the fog of rigging.

I have another one for you! Apparently a bar near Madison square garden, despite the World Cup and the busy 4th of July weekend, had almost no customers because the Taylor swift wedding blocked off all the surrounding streets for security. The bar is asking her team, the mayor, the garden, anyone they can to make it right for the revenue they lost from the wedding spectacle, and no one is responding.
Taylor is willing to conspicuously donate money in a good PR move before her wedding, to keep the socialists off her back. But she and her team are ignoring a business her wedding shenanigans actually hurt. Not a good look.

But Canada is our #1 or #2 trading partner, and a one of the biggest -- if not the -- biggest destinations for American exports. There's too much trade and money at risk for anything serious to happen to this arrangement.
So the countries can go on despising each other but the trade will continue. Hell, weren't we doing some business with fucking Nazi Germany during parts of WW2?

I wonder if the situation is as dire as you think. We are currently winning a war, barely, against a determined communist foe (the democrats) with maybe a third of our party working with them. But that third is slowly getting replaced. And the democrats stand for nothing that is popular anywhere. Crossing my fingers, but if 2028 goes as we hope, the left here will be marginalized for a decade. The US is blessed with a remarkable self correcting capability - it just takes a bit.

The support doesn't have to be overt, and, I agree, would be counterproductive.
Many of the on-the-fence Albertans would be emotionally lured to the Remain side simply by the reinforcement of the "Canadian identity" of "not American". Uncomfortable as it is to recognize , it's real enough that Carney rode it to victory.
Nixing the "51st state" nonsense is part of that.

No.
Trump got elected three times because the majority of the American voting public actually agrees with him, despite what the laptop class wants. The Liberals in Canada keep getting elected because the majority of the Canadian voting public agrees with _them_.
It's really difficult to explain just how deep and pathological the anti-American bigotry runs in this country. This isn't about Trump, it's been a truism for decades that the way to kill any undesirable policy position is to describe it as "American-style", regardless of whether it bears any resemblance to actual US policies.
